CC RESOLUTION 4382RESOLUTION NO. 4382
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING IN -LIEU FEES IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE EL SEGUNDO DOWNTOWN
SPECIFIC PLAN.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. This Resolution is adopted in accord with the El Segundo
Downtown Specific Plan ( "DSP ") and the El Segundo Municipal
Code ( "SPMC ") for the purpose of establishing in -lieu parking fees;
B. The ESMC generally requires that new construction provide
sufficient parking to accommodate vehicle traffic generated from
such construction;
C. The unique circumstances of the City's downtown, e.g., the number
of non - conforming small lots, can make it difficult for businesses to
expand since the ability to provide adequate parking is limited by
available acerage;
D. It is in the public interest for the City to provide options to persons
seeking to expand the size of their businesses to comply with the
ESMC;
E. To fulfill this responsibility, the City adopted an in -lieu fee program
that allows business owners to pay a fee to the City to satisfy
parking requirements set forth in the ESMC;
F. This Resolution relies upon the documentary and testimonial
evidence submitted to the City during the public hearing held on
November 5, 2003 in addition to such additional information that
may be in the administrative record;
G. The Report prepared by Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc., dated
June 12, 2003, regarding calculations of Downtown Parking Fees
( "Report") is incorporated into this Resolution by reference;
H. The Report concludes that the City may set an in -lieu parking fee
as in an amount not to exceed $37,693 per parking space;
The Council believes that establishing the full amount suggested in
the Report may discourage businesses from participating in the in-
lieu program and, accordingly, believes it is in the public interest to
establish a fee of a lesser amount; and
This Resolution relies upon the calculations, assumptions, analysis,
and conclusions set forth in the Report in addition to all other
matters in the City's records.
SECTION 2: Calculation of Parking Fees. The amount of parking fees that can
be paid to the City in accordance with the DSP ( "Fees ") is established at $12,500
per parking space for one (1) year after the effective date of this Resolution.
Thereafter, the Fees will be automatically increased to $17,500 per parking
space.
SECTION 3: Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act. This
Resolution is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act
(Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; "CEQA') and CEQA regulations (Cal.
Code Regs. Title 14, §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes, structures, and
approves rates and charges to obtain funds for capital projects needed to
maintain service within existing service areas. This Resolution, therefore, is
categorically exempt from further CEQA review under Cal. Code Regs. Title 14, §
15273.
SECTION 4: Effective Date of this Resolution. This Resolution will become
effective immediately upon adoption and remain in effect unless repealed or
superseded.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 20th day of July 2004.

Mayor
