TITLE:
Study Session Regarding El Segundo I Vision 2050, the City's Effort to Update the
General Plan Land Use Element
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file a presentation including a progress update, a summary of public
outreach efforts, and preliminary guiding principles for El Segundo I Vision 2050
(the City's General Plan Land Use Element Update);

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:
El Segundo I Vision 2050 is the City's effort to update the General Plan Land Use
Element. The General Plan is El Segundo's long-term blueprint for how the city grows
and evolves, covering topics like housing, transportation, safety, parks, and more. While
the full plan includes a wide range of topics, this effort focuses on the Land Use
Element — which identifies how land can be used and distributes those uses. This
update will help shape the look, feel, and function of El Segundo over the next 20-25
years. The project kicked off in March 2025 with the initiation of the community
engagement effort and existing conditions research.
From May 15-30, 2025, the Project Team completed interviews with City Council and
Executive Team members as part of the El Segundo I Vision 2050 public outreach
efforts. The Project Team gained valuable insights from City leadership.

On July 2, 2025, the General Plan Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) held its first
meeting with the staff and consultant team. This meeting served as an introduction for
the TAC to the project. The Project Team reviewed the purpose of the Land Use
Element update, the community engagement plan, and reviewed the overall project
schedule.
In August 2025, the City hosted the first community workshop and the team hosted
three focus groups with community stakeholders. During the workshop and focus
groups, staff briefly presented research on existing conditions and solicited input about
the vision, goals and objectives for El Segundo I Vision 2050.
On October 2, 2025, the second TAC meeting was held to report on and review the
summary results of the aforementioned outreach and community engagement as well
as the existing conditions report, vision, guiding principles, and geographic focus areas
of the land use update.
On October 9, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public study session to provide
input on El Segundo I Vision 2050, focusing on the vision, guiding principles, and
geographic focus areas of the land use update.
DISCUSSION:
This study session will present its existing conditions research and solicit the City
Council's input on the vision, goals and objectives, guiding principles, and geographic
focus areas for El Segundo I Vision 2050 moving forward.
