Public Hearing on Proposed Amendment to Circulation Element of the General Plan and Notice of Certifica- tion of Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed for the continuation of subject hear- ing and inquired of the Clerk if any written communi- cations had been received. City Clerk Burrowes replied letters from the following persons had been received: J. Michael Hateley, Vice President of Human Resources and Administration at Northrup Corpor- ation; R. K. Wilson, Staff Vice President of Western Region Facilities and Engineering at Rockwell Interna- tional; and Jack M. Greenspan, President of Linscott, Law & Greenspan, Inc. Engineers. Mayor Bue directed the letters become a part of this hearing. Director of Planning Nicholas Romaniello reported that on July 14, 1983 the Planning Commission, in their Resolution No. 2034, recommended Council approval and adoption of the revised Circulation Element to the General Plan. Stated the Circulation Element provides specific areas of access to particular sites and pro- vides for a circulation system throughout the city. Mr. Romaniello clarified that the recommendations are not mandatory but serve as a tool to the Council when making decisions regarding future development. In response to Council's question, City Attorney Dolley stated under the General Plan the City does not have the responsibility to notify new owners of the proposed changes to their property. The Mayor then inquired if anyone present wished to speak on this matter. Paul Deters, President of the E1 Segundo Chamber of Commerce, stated several companies would be adversely affected by the present draft of the Circulation Element. Stated the Chamber is requesting the City work jointly with the industrial sector in developing a Circulation Element that will be satisfactory to the entire community. Kristin Birtwhistle, 227 E. Oak Avenue #301, repre- senting Chevron, stated Chevron cannot agree to a plan that would extend public roads through the refinery. Also stated the western extension of E1 Segundo Boule- vard would pass through the sanctuary of the E1 Segundo Blue Butterfly, which is listed as an endangered species. Richard Wilson, Corporate Vice President of Facilities at Rockwell International, stated the proposed Circu- lation Element would require the demolition and recon- struction of their Shipping and Receiving Building, the loss of 590 parking spaces, divide the Engineering Complex in half, and create a sizeable financial bur- den they are not prepared to assume. Mr. Wilson proposed this matter be referred to a group of repre- sentatives from the City and each affected property owner in order to find a more acceptable alternative. Tom Moske, representing Northrup Corporation, stated that although Northrup agrees in general with the traffic report, they are concerned that the extension of Mariposa Avenue would bisect their West Complex. Mr. Moske indicated Northrup would like to participate in future discussion with the committee members on this project. Verne Wochnick of Hughes Aircraft stated Hughes and their traffic engineering consultant, Linscott' Law an Greenspan, Inc., reviewed the proposed Circulation Element and have the following concerns: that the cost to Hughes Aircraft will be in excess of $32 million; that in their opinion the Element serves little purpose in improving the movement of people; that there would be an impact on the permit process; and that the Element did not take into consideration transportation system management alternatives. -2- Council Minutes November 1, 1983 ry �Jv Jack Greenspan, President of Linscott, Law and Green- span, Traffic Consultants, stated his firm primarily focused its review of the Circulation Element on the area east of Sepulveda Boulevard. Stated while the proposed roadways provided internal circulation, it did not address access to and from the city. His recommen- dations are (1) Delete: Continental extension between Maple and Imperial; EDSG loop road; the connection to Douglas /Utah from EDSG loop; the extension of Mariposa and Grand east of Douglas to Aviation; (2) Add Nash/ Douglas one -way couplet between Imperial and El Segundo; (3) Revise classification of Douglas from pro- posed major arterial to secondary arterial; and (4) Consider the airport as a connector rather than a +q�l� secondary. In order to mitigate overall impacts, Mr. Greenspan recommended the use of reversible lanes on E1 Segundo and Sepulveda Boulevards. He also encouraged public and private sector support of a light rail system and the expansion of the existing bus and ride pool programs. George MacFarland gave an update on ride - sharing stating there has been an increase in participation in car, van, and bus pools. Mr. MacFarland feels ride - sharing is the most positive and long - lasting solution to the traffic problems of any city. Don Camph, Executive Director of the E1 Segundo Employers Association, stated his organization has serious reservations with regard to the effectiveness and equity of the proposed Circulation Element. Stated several members of the Employers Association have developed approaches which have the potential for making the plan more effective from a total transportation standpoint and would like to share them with the City. Therefore, Mr. Camph requested the City Council refer the proposal back to the Planning Commission with direction to hold additional study sessions, for the purpose of receiving input from all impacted parties, and to report back to Council within 60 days. Ray Sherwood, owner of Allied Sales and Salvage, stated he disagrees with the widening of Sepulveda Boulevard. Recommended the Pacific Coast Highway as an alterna- tive or another road that would run north and south. Bill Parshall, 750 California Street, suggested extending Pershing Drive as a means of carrying transportation and stated he felt the trend towards using public transportation is positive. Hearing no further comment from the audience, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED, that the public hearing be closed. Councilman Johnson recommended a 90 -day continuance on this matter stating it should be sent back to the Planning Commission, staff and traffic consultants for review and revision in light of the suggestions made this evening. Councilman Siadek endorsed that recommendation adding specific direction should be given to staff. Mayor Bue stated more public hearings should be held in order to allow industry to give additional input. -3- Council Minutes November 1, 1983 Councilwoman Synadinos stated the matter should again be referred to the traffic consultants (ASL) with a mini Council committee being formed to work with ASL staff and industry for any other suggestions or changes. Councilman Armstrong felt the burden should not be placed on staff, instead be referred to the traffic consultant. Mayor Bue inquired of City Manager Jones whether staff could review this matter and make a recommendation to Council regading how it should further proceed. Mr. Jones stated the areas to be addressed can be evaluated by staff with the technical assistance of the City's traffic engineer, George Villegas. Additionally, he stated the input from industry would be welcomed. Mr. Jones requested authorization from Council to expend funds should an occasion arise where the former consul- tant, Mr. Rusak of ASL, is needed. Mr. Jones indicated staff can return to Council with a status report in four weeks. After further discussion, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, that the prop- osed Circulation Element be referred to City staff for analysis and consultation with industry and the initial traffic consultant as required. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Thereafter, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY MAYOR BUE, that a subcommittee consisting of Council Members Siadek and Synadinos, with Council- man Johnson as an alternate, be formed to work with staff in the further drafting of the Circulation Ele- ment. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. RECESS At the hour of 8:42 p.m. the Mayor declared a ten minute recess. At the hour of 8:52 p.m. the Council reconvened, all members being present and answering roll call. B. Recommendation to Adopt a Plan Line for Future Widening of Sepulveda Boulevard and Recommendation to Include as Part of the Circulation Element to the General Plan City Manager Jones stated subject plan would begin the implementation of the General Plan; therefore, if Council elects, it could be included as part of the Circulation Element. He stated further that the purpose of the plan line is to protect the right of way from future development that could occur in that area. Once the plan line is established, the Director of Building and Safety cannot issue a building permit for any construction within those plan lines. Thereafter, discussion ensued among Council regarding how to proceed on this matter. Councilman Armstrong suggested double- decking of Sepulveda Boulevard as an alternative to the widening. Councilman Johnson stated that while he supports double- decking, the costs would be prohibitive at this time. -4- Council Minutes November 1, 1983 Councilman Siadek voiced concerns that the property owners may not be adequately compensated for their loss of property. Mr. Jones stated Council's action at this time would merely protect the property from future development. That at the time of the widening, Council will address the method of securing the property. He also stated the property owners are adequately pro- tected by State law to insure they are justly compen- sated for the value of their property and for any fiscal damage that may occur. Councilwoman Synadinos questioned the difference between the Circulation Element guaranteein& the City certain rights to the property and the specific plan guaranteeing those rights. City Attorney Dolley stated the Circulation Element does not guarantee any certain rights but sets the parameters of where roads go and suggests ways to do it. Mr. Jones added that while the General Plan lays out the general alignment of the streets, it is subject to modification based upon specific development proposals that come up. Public Works Director Glickman gave background on the plan line and how the boundaries were established. Thereafter, Mayor Bue opened the matter up for public discussion. Rav Sherwood stated the widening of Sepulveda Boulvard shou d be included in the General Plan but does not feel the plan line should be established at this time. Lawrence Wilson of Robert Bein, William Frost and Associates, the engineering consultants for the design work on subject project, stated he was available to answer any questions Council might have. Douglas Ring of Buchalter, Nemer, Fields, Chrystie & Younger, stated he is the attorney representing property owner Tony Brent. Stated he appeared before the Planning Commission and indicated to them that this would represent the second taking of property from his client. Stated the Planning Commission informally agreed that it did constitute a de facto taking and therefore granted permission to diem to develop the property as if the additional forward footage was present. Mr. Ring stated they would have preferred to have entered into a development agreement with the City to ensure his client had rights to the property for a longer period of time. After further discussion, COUNCILWOMAN SYNADINOS MADE A MOTION, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, that the plan line as proposed by staff be adopted as the official alignment of Sepulveda Boulevard. THE MOTION CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE: Ayes: Council Members Armstrong, Johnson, Synadinos and Mayor Bue Noes: Councilman Siadek Absent: Council Members None Mayor Bue then directed staff to review this as part of the Circulation Element to the General Plan. -5- Council Minutes November 1, 1983 �05 B. Public Hearing Regarding Request from Wyle Laboratories to Defer Parking Requirement at 111 Maryland Street The Mayor announced that this is the time and place heretofore fixed for subject hearing and inquired if proper notice of the hearing had been given. City Clerk Burrowes replied proof of publication was in her file. The Mayor directed that said file become a part of this hearing and then inquired if any written communications had been received. Mrs. Burrowes replied that none had been received in the City Clerk's Office. Director of Planning, Nicholas Romaniello, reported this matter had previously appeared before Council and the Council referred the matter to the Environmental Quality Board and the Planning Commission. Mr. Roman - iello stated both these bodies have reviewed the appli- cation and have had discussions with the applicant. The applicant is requesting the City allow deferment of required parking until such time as the City deems that parking necessary. The Planning Commission, in their Resolution No. 2051, have built -in safeguards to assure the parking will be supplied when the City finds it necessary. The applicant agrees to those conditions. Therefore, Mr. Romaniello recommends Council adopt the resolution and accept the applicant's request. The Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to speak on this matter. Hearing none, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN SIADEK, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ARMSTRONG, that the public hearing be closed. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. After discussion among Council, MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN JOHNSON, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN ARMSTRONG, to approve the agreement between Wyle Laboratories and the City of El Segundo that implements the conditions of occupancy outlined in Planning Commission Resolution No. 2051.

City Attorney Dolley stated that if the airport does not meet the deadline, the State will require the airport, in variance proceedings, to implement a plan. E. Councilman Siadek reported that he and the Mayor, together with the Directors of Building and Safety, Planning, Fire and Public Works met with investors and developers in the City to discuss what could be done to expedite plan checks. Stated that although there were no conclusions drawn, he felt it was gratifying due to the good suggestions made. VIII ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Carl Haglund, 403 Concord Street, stated he was unable to attend a P anning Commission meeting where a proposed development of an apartment building on Virginia Street was scheduled for discussion. Instead he wrote a letter to the Commission voicing his objections and requested a response advising him of the outcome of this matter. Mr. Haglund stated he never received a response but learned at a later date that the project had been approved. He felt the Planning Commission should slow down on its approval of these developments due to the parking situation.
