WHEREAS, at said City Council hearing, the applicant was directed to redesign the project
to provide a maximum of 28 dwelling units and a minimum of 15 guest parking spaces, and the
application was continued to March 17, 1992; and
WHEREAS, at said City Council hearing the following facts were established:
1. The applicant is proposing to construct a 28 unit townhouse -style condominium project at
a density of 19 units per acre with 56 garage parking spaces and 15 guest parking spaces
on a 1.44 acre site at 1400 E. Holly Avenue, and 337 and 345 Kansas Street in the Medium
Manufacturing (M -M) zone.
2. The applicant is requesting implementation of the Medium Density Residential (MDR)
Floating Zone in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area, which implementation requires City
Council approval.
3. The site contains six lots that would be combined to create one 62,731 square foot triangular
shaped lot. There are presently three one story industrial buildings on the site that would
be demolished.
4. The applicant is requesting a variance from the MDR development guidelines to allow
development with less than the minimum 2.5 acres lot size or a complete block.
5. The site and surrounding area to the west, south and east are designated by the Smoky
Hollow Specific Plan for manufacturing use with a medium density residential use overlay,
and to the north is single family residential, all of which is consistent with the zoning of
the site. The surrounding land uses are to the west Medium Density Residential, to the
south and east Industrial, and to the north Single Family Residential.
6. The goals of the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan are to provide buffering, open space, and a
transition between existing residential neighborhoods and the industrial areas in Smoky
Hollow, provide adequate parking, and improve the overall quality of the area both physically
and visually.
7. The Fiscal Impact Analysis for the project indicates that the project will generate annual
revenues of approximately $12,800 and will create annual costs for services of approximately
$40,400.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after consideration of the above facts and study
of proposed Environmental Assessment EA -227, Subdivision 90 -3, Variance 90 -3, and Smoky Hollow
Site Plan 90 -2, the City Council finds as follows:
ENVIRONMENTAL / STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATION
1. The Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report is an adequate and complete
document in accordance with the State CEQA requirements and the local CEQA guidelines.
2. The mitigation monitoring program has been prepared in accordance with the State
government requirements contained in Section 21081 of the Public Resources Code.
3. The Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report identified significant impacts related
directly to the project which are potentially significantly adverse, but can be mitigated to
an insignificant level by conditions imposed upon the project in the areas of earth, air
quality, water, noise, light and glare, shade and shadow, land use, views /aesthetics,
transportation /circulation, public services (excluding schools), energy conservation, utilities,
human health /risk of upset, and population /housing.
4. The proposed project will have a significant adverse effect on the elementary and middle,
school grades which are already at or over capacity. All feasible mitigation measures as
identified in the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report have been incorporated
into the project. Project impacts to the school district will not be mitigated to an
insignificant level even with inclusion of the identified feasible mitigation measures.
5. Two impact fees could reduce the project's impact on the school district. However,
implementation is not within the jurisdiction of the City of El Segundo. The El Segundo
Unified School District could adopt an ordinance to require school impact fees to mitigate
the impact of the project on the school district. Additionally, the registered voters in the
City of El Segundo could approve a parcel tax which would also help to mitigate the impact
of the project.
6. Related projects will have significant adverse effects on air quality, water, noise,
traffic /circulation, public services and utilities. All feasible mitigation measures, which are
within the jurisdiction of the City of El Segundo, as identified in the FSEIR have been
incorporated into the project, and all related projects will incorporate mitigation measures
to minimize their impacts. Related project air quality, water, noise, traffic / circulation,
public services and utilities impacts will not be mitigated to an insignificant level even with
the inclusion of identified feasible mitigation measures.
7. Unavoidable adverse impacts are outweighed by the project benefits which include
fulfillment of land use goals, objectives and policies as defined by the Smoky Hollow Specific
Plan which include providing buffering, open space and a transition between the existing
residential neighborhoods and industrial uses; development of residential at a density that
is lower (19 units per acre) than allowed in the R -3 zone (29 units per acre); providing
increased landscaping, setbacks, open space and parking; providing housing in response to
market changes and demands in the area; improving circulation; providing improved and new
public facilities including fire hydrants, driveway approaches, curbs, gutters, wheelchair
ramps, sidewalks, street lighting, underground utilities and water mains; providing fees for
public services and traffic /circulation improvements; providing housing to help meet the
jobs /housing balance goal; providing construction employment opportunities and contributing
to a logical extension of the type of land use and development existing and planned in the
project vicinity.
8. The Draft SEIR did not identify project alternatives which would reduce environmental
impacts (excluding school impacts), and the proposed project was determined to be the
environmentally superior alternative, excluding the "no project" alternative, since it reduces
grading, vehicular traffic, emissions, noise, light and glare, shade /shadow, land use, and
visual /aesthetic impacts. The "no project" alternative would not implement the goals,
policies and objectives of the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan. The land use and aesthetic
objectives to replace industrial uses with new compatible residential uses which will provide
a buffer, transition and additional open space would not be met with the "no project"
alternative. The two "development under the existing M -M zoning" alternatives would
increase the adverse impacts related to grading, traffic, emissions, noise, light and glare,
shade /shadow, land use, and visual /aesthetics.
Resolution No. 2
9. The cumulative impacts due to related projects in the area, all located east of Sepulveda,
will need to be evaluated through each project's specific EIR. Appropriate mitigation
measures as feasible will be required for each of these related impacts to mitigate
cumulative impacts.
• 10. When considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project will have the
potential for adverse effects on wildlife resources or the habitat on which wildlife depends.
11. Ten days after the approval of this resolution, the applicant shall submit to the City of El
Segundo a fee of $25.00, required by the County of Los Angeles, for the Director of
Planning to file a Certificate of Fee Exemption and de minimus findings pursuant to AB
3158 and the California Code of Regulations. If this certificate, along with the required
Notice of Determination, is not filed the statutory requirements of CEQA will not be met
and no vesting shall occur until this condition is fulfilled.
VARL4,NCE
1. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or class
of use in the vicinity and zone due to the unusual triangular shaped lot configuration, the
topographical change in the southeast corner of the site and the topographic differences
between the subject site and the adjacent property and the project location which
immediately abuts the Grand Tropez, the only Medium Density Residential zone activated
within the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area at this time;
2. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property
right in the same vicinity and zone but which is denied to the property in question since
it allows development of a project which is consistent with the Medium Density Residential
zone goals, policies and objectives;
3. That the granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare
or injurious to the property or improvement in such vicinity and zone in which the property
is located because adequate public facilities will be required to support the new use and
mitigation measures have been incorporated into the EIR. to minimize all direct impacts,
except school impacts, to an insignificant level;
4. That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive general plan.
Since the proposed Draft General Plan does not propose any changes in the land use
designations for the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area and the proposed project is consistent
with the goals, policies and objectives of the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan and this plan then
states that this project is automatically deemed consistent with the general plan.
SUBDIVISION
1. The proposed subdivision to create condominium ownership, and the design of the proposed
townhouse -style multiple- family residences are consistent with the Smoky Hollow Specific
Plan through the activation of the Medium Density Residential (MDR) Floating Zone.
2. The site is physically suitable for residential townhouse development at the proposed density
of one unit per 2,240 square feet of site area (28 units or 19.44 units per acre).
3. The design of the subdivision improvements adequately provides for public services and is
not likely to cause any public health problems due to the mitigation measures provided for
in the Environmental Impact Report.
SMOKY HOLLOW SPECIFIC PLAN
1. The proposed project provides sufficient buffering and open space, and provides a transition
between the existing residential neighborhoods to the north and more intensive industrial
uses throughout the rest of Smoky Hollow;
2. The proposed project is developed at a density lower that R -3 standards;
3. The proposed project meets or exceeds all of the development standards required by the
Smoky Hollow Specific Plan with the exception of the lot size.
NOW THEREBY BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby certifies the Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report, adopts a Statement of Overriding Consideration, and
adopts a mitigation monitoring program, and approves Environmental Assessment No. EA -227,
Subdivision 90 -3, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 49115, Variance 90 -5, and Smoky Hollow Site
Plan 90 -2 to construct a 28 unit townhouse -style condominium at 1400 E. Holly Avenue, 337 and
