THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO DOES HEREBY FIND,
ORDER, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the City of El Segundo hereby notifies the Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO) that the City of El Segundo is considering initiation of a
proposed reorganization pursuant to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government
Reorganization Act of 2000, commencing with Section 56000 of the California
Government Code, for a reorganization that would concurrently detach territory from
the City of El Segundo and annex the territory to the City of Hawthorne; and
WHEREAS, the principal reasons for the consideration of the proposed
reorganization are as follows:
(a) The United States Air Force maintains facilities in the greater Los
Angeles region known as the Los Angeles Air Force Base ("the LAAFB").
(b) Portions of the LAAFB facilities are currently located in the Sun Valley
community of the City of Los Angeles ("the Sun Valley Site"), in a section of the City of
Hawthorne ("the Lawndale Annex") and on two sites in the City of El Segundo ("Area
All and "Area B").
(c) The LAAFB presently employees more than 4,000 military and civilian
personnel and their jobs are important to the economic vitality of Southern California
and the local aerospace defense industry in particular.
(d) The United States Air Force intends to consolidate and upgrade the
LAAFB through the implementation of a unique public-private partnership, whereby the
Sun Valley Site, the Lawndale Annex and Area A will be conveyed to a private
developer in exchange for new facilities constructed by the developer on Area B from
revenue generated by the developer.
(e) The area proposed to be detached from El Segundo and annexed to the
City of Hawthorne ("the subject area") is uninhabited. It is located east of Sepulveda
Boulevard at the southeast corner of El Segundo and Aviation Boulevards and is
bounded by El Segundo Boulevard on the north, the Southern Pacific railroad tracks
and residential neighborhood of Hollyglen on the south, Aviation Boulevard on the
west, and the San Diego Freeway (1 -405) on the east, as shown in Exhibit A.

(f) The detachment and annexation would facilitate the development of
residential uses on LAAFB Area A; would satisfy the objectives of the LAAFB; would be
compatible with the existing, adjacent residential Del Aire neighborhood in the County
of Los Angeles and the existing, adjacent residential Hollyglen neighborhood in
Hawthorne; and would provide for the most efficient provision of services to the
proposed residential uses in LAAFB Area A.
(h) In order to do all that they can to retain the LAAFB and to satisfy the
concerns of the Hollyglen Neighborhood and Del Aire Neighborhood, the City of El
Segundo has agreed to consider detachment of Area A for residential development
only and the City of El Segundo has agreed to consider a proposed reorganization
involving detachment of the Los Air force Base Area A from El Segundo and its
annexation to Hawthorne for residential development only.
WHEREAS, the agencies that would be affected by the proposed reorganization
are as follows
WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be reorganized is Uninhabited.
