CC RESOLUTION 4356RESOLUTION NO. 4356
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVING
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 630 AND ZONE TEXT
AMENDMENT NO. 03 -3
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The Council finds and declares that:
A. On October 21, 2003, TPG -EI Segundo Partners, LLC submitted an application
to amend the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") to add provisions which
would allow an approved tentative map to be stayed during the length of time that
a lawsuit involving the approved tentative map is or was pending in a court of law
The application was reviewed by City's Department of Community, Economic
and Development Services for, in part, consistency with the General Plan and
conformity with the ESMC;
B. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the
California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.,
"CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations
§ §15000, at seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's Environmental
Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted March 16, 1993);
C. The Department of Community, Economic and Development Services completed
its review and scheduled a public hearing regarding the application before the
Planning Commission for January 8, 2004;
D. On January 8, 2004, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive
public testimony and other evidence regarding the application including, without
limitation, information provided to the Planning Commission by TPG -EI Segundo
Partners, LLC; and adopted Resolution No. 2558 recommending City Council
approval of Environmental Assessment No. 608 for Zone Text Amendment No.
03 -1;
E. On January 20, 2004, the City Council held a public hearing to receive public
testimony and other evidence regarding the application including, without
limitation, information provided to the City Council by TPG -EI Segundo Partners,
LLC;
The City Council considered the information provided by TPG -El Segundo
Partners, LLC, City staff, and public testimony. This Resolution, and its findings,
are made based upon the evidence presented to the City Council at its January
20, 2004 hearing including, without limitation, the staff reports submitted by the
Department of Community, Economic and Development Services.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings. The Council finds that the following facts exist:
A. Section 66452.6 (c) of the Subdivision Map Act authorizes cities to grant stays to
approved tentative maps if it has adopted procedures. Currently, the City does
not have the procedures in place to process an application to stay a tentative
map.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The proposed project is exempt from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)
(3), since the project is an amendment to the ESMC, which adds procedures which might
impact the total term of a tentative map. Such an amendment has no potential to cause impacts
on the environment. Any impact associated with the stay of a tentative map would be reviewed
as part of an application for a stay. The adoption of the regulations creating the provisions for a
stay is exempt from CEQA.
SECTION 4: Notice of Exemption. The City Manager, or designee, is directed to file a Notice
of Exemption in accordance with Pub. Res. Code §§ 21152, 21167(f); 14 CCR § 15062; and
any other applicable law.
SECTION 5: General Plan Findings. After considering the above facts, the City Council finds
that the proposed amendments to the ESMC are consistent with the purpose of the General
Plan to allow for the orderly development of the community
SECTION 6: Approvals. The City Council approves Environmental Assessment No. 630 and
Zone Text Amendment No. 03 -3:
SECTION 7: This Resolution will remain effective unless superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 8: The City Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to TPG -El Segundo
Partners, LLC and to any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 9: This Resolution is the City Council's final decision and will become effective
immediately upon adoption.
