CC RESOLUTION 5540RESOLUTION NO. 5540
A RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH A FEE DEFERRAL PROGRAM TO
ADJUST THE DEADLINE OF CERTAIN BUILDING PERMIT FEE
PAYMENTS TO PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF
OCCUPANCY OR FINAL INSPECTION.
(ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 1384 AND ZONE TEXT
AMENDMENT NO. 25-03)
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. At the February 18, 2025 City Council meeting, a study session was held to
consider a building permit fee and development impact Fee Deferral Program
("Program"). The Program would adjust the deadline for certain building permit fee
payments to before the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or final inspection,
whichever comes first. The City Council directed staff to further explore the deferral
program.
B. On March 27, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive
public testimony and other evidence regarding an ordinance concerning
associated fee deferrals, and the Planning Commission by city staff adopted its
Resolution No. 2962 recommending that the City Council approve this Resolution.
C. On May 6, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing and considered the
information provided by City staff and public testimony regarding the associated
ordinance and this Resolution.
D. The City Council conducted a public hearing and first reading of the associated
ordinance and scheduled a second reading for May 20, 2025.
E. The City Council seeks to adopt this Resolution to Implement the Program.
SECTION 2: Actions. The City Council:
A. Authorizes the Community Development Director to execute a Deferred Building
Permit and Development Impact Fee Agreement, in a form approved by the City
Attorney or designee in accordance with the Program; and
B. Authorizes the deferral of building permit issuance fees that are not directly tied
to immediate City services or staff processing time and development impact fees
that are typically associated with future ongoing post -construction costs, to be
paid prior to final inspection or the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy; and

C. Updates all applicable City policies and procedures to reflect the revised fee
collection deadlines as set forth in the associated ordinance and this Resolution.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. Based on the facts set forth in Section 2, the
City Council finds that the zone text amendment is exempt from further review under the
California Environmental Quality Act ("°CEQA") pursuant to CEA Guidelines §
15061(b)(3)), because it consists only of minor revisions to existing zoning regulations
and related procedures and does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on
the environment.
SECTION 4: Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed invalid
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not
affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the
provisions of this Resolution are severable.
SECTION 3. Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic
signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will
be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.
SECTION 4. Signature Authority. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby authorized to
affix his signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City
of El Segundo, and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, is directed to attest
thereto.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Resolution will take effect immediately upon adoption
and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.
SECTION 6. City Clerk Direction. The City Clerk will certify to the passage and adoption
of this Resolution, enter it in the City's book of original Resolutions, and make a record of
this action in the meeting's minutes.
