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, at seq.,
"CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations
§ §15000, et 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 February 12, 2004;
D. On February 12, 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. 2559 approving Environmental
Assessment No. 632 and Subdivision No. 03 -8;
E. The Commission considered the information provided by City staff, public
testimony, and TPG -El Segundo Partners, LLC representatives. Resolution No.
2559 and its findings, were made based upon the evidence presented to the
Commission at its February 12, 2004 hearing including, without limitation, the
staff reports submitted by the Department of Community, Economic and
Development Services;
F. On March 16, 2004, the City Council held a public hearing to receive public

presented to the Council at its March 16, 2004 hearing including, without
limitation, the staff report submitted by the Department of Community, Economic

SECTION 2: Factual Findings. The Council finds that the following facts exist:
A. The approved project is for the creation of 26 separate parcels on a 46.53 -
acre site at 700 -800 N. Nash St, in the Corporate Campus Specific Plan
Area;
B. The approved proposal complies with all applicable requirements of the
Corporate Campus Specific Plan including the minimum lot size and
minimum street frontage requirements for the Corporate Campus Specific
Plan. All parcels will have frontage on a public street or a private internal
roadway;
C. The original project approval of the project required City Council approval
and certification of an Environmental Impact Report. There have been no
changes to the project scope or any other significant information that
would render the conclusions of the original Environmental Impact Report
inaccurate. Therefore the conclusions of the Environmental Impact Report
remain unchanged;
D. The subject proposal is to extend the previously approved project covered
by the following previous approvals and agreements:
Environmental Assessment No. 548, Subdivision No. 01 -5 (Vesting
Tentative Tract Map No. 53570), Specific Plan No. 01 -1, Development
Agreement No. 01 -1, General Plan Amendment No. 01 -2, Zone Change
No. 01 -1, Zone Text Amendment No. 01 -1, and Administrative Use Permit
No. 01 -1 were approved by City Council Ordinance 1345 and City Council
Resolution 4241 on January 2, 2002, certifying an Environmental Impact
Report for the Campus El Segundo project at 700 -800 N. Nash Street;
E. The project is a benefit to the community for the same reasons that it was
found to be a benefit to the community when the City Council approved it
on January 2, 2002;
F. The project was upheld by 65% of the voters pursuant to referendum
process on June 18, 2002. Thus, the community supports the project as it
was originally proposed; and
G. An appeal of the Planning Commission's approval of Environmental
Assessment No. 632 and Subdivision No. 03 -8 (Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 53570) was received by the City Clerk's Office February 23,
2004.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The Council finds that Environmental Assessment
No. 632, Subdivision No. 03 -8 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 53570 were previously
analyzed for its environmental impacts and a Final Environmental Impact Report was certified
pursuant to CEQA § 15090.
SECTION 4: Notice of Determination. The City Manager, or designee, is directed to file a
Notice of Determination 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
as follows:
A. The Land Use Designation of the project site is Corporate Campus
Specific Plan. Moreover, the proposed project is consistent with the City's
General Plan Land Use Objective LU4 -4, which encourages mixed use
developments;
B. The ESMC zoning classification for the project site is Corporate Campus
Specific Plan;
C. The proposal meets all the site development standards of the Corporate
Campus Specific Plan; and
D. The proposed Subdivision complies with the applicable provisions of
ESMC Chapter 14 -1, since an application requesting an extension was
received prior to the date of expiration, proper notification and a public
hearing were provided, proper hearing decision and records will be
complied with and the required findings will be considered.
SECTION 6: Approvals. The City Council upholds the Planning Commission's approval of
Environmental Assessment No. 632 and Subdivision No. 03 -8 with amended Conditions of
Approval.
SECTION 7: This Resolution will remain effective unless superseded by a subsequent
