SECTION 3. That the Building Inspector of the City of El
Segundo, California,, is hereby authorized and instructed to issue the
said permit, hereinabove referred to, to said licensee, and the City
Clerk of said city is hereby authorized and instructed to attest the
same and to affix the official seal of said city thereto, upon

me
of California, in the form of acceptance hereinabove set forth and
which constitutes a part of the consideration for the issuance of said

SECTION 4. In granting the permit authorized under this reso-
lution, the City Council finds and determines that the site of the well,
11STA1IDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA GOUGH #22+1, covered by the said per-
mit is located in a district of Zone M -2, as defined in Ordinance No.
306 (The Land Use Plan - Zoning Ordinance) of said City, and for that
reason the same is not within an "urbanized area" as defined in Ordi-
nance No. 312 of said City, and that, therefore, the provisions of said
Ordinance No. 312 do not apply to the application or permit for said
'STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA GOUGH #2211 well. Said City Council
further finds that said well is located in an area within said City in
which numerous permits have heretofore been issued by said City for the
drilling of oil wells and is clearly encompassed within a very well de-
fined existing oil drilling district therein, and, therefore, there is
no necessity to refer said application or the matter of the granting of
said permit to the Planning Commission of said City for report and re-
commendation in the premises.

and adoption of this resolution; shall enter the same in the book of
