COMMERCIAL DESIGNATIONS
Urban Mixed -Use North
Permits a mixture of office, research and development, retail, and hotel uses. Light industrial uses
conducted within a fully enclosed building shall be permitted if approved with a discretionary
application. The maximum floor area ratio (FAR) is limited to 1.3.
Urban Mixed -Use South
Permits a mixture of office, research and development, retail, and hotel uses. Light industrial uses
conducted within a fully enclosed building and adult- oriented businesses shall be permitted if
approved with a discretionary application. The maximum floor area ratio (FAR) is limited to 1.3.
General Plan • Land Use Element Page 3 -7
Proposed Land Use Plan
Northeast Quadrant
On the 1992 Land Use Plan, the majority of the northeast quadrant is designated either Corporate
Office (193.4 ac) or Urban Mixed -Use (279.0 ac). Corporate Office allows a mixture of office uses
with retail in the lobby. This designation covers the "Superblock Area" and will allow uses similar
to those currently in that area.
The Urban Mixed -Use North and South designations allow a mixture of uses, including office, hotels,
and retail and light industrial with discretionary approval. The Urban Mixed -Use North and South
designations are designed to allow for a flexibility of uses near the three existing, and one future,
Green Line transit stations. For the most part, the types of uses allowed are different from the light
and heavy industrial uses currently in this area. These designations will accommodate a transition
from these uses, which is being driven by the market forces described in the Economic
Development Element.
Southeast Quadrant
The majority of the southeast quadrant is designated light industrial (365.9 ac). This category allows
for a mixture of light industrial and office uses, similar to what is now existing in some of the
business parks between Douglas Street and Aviation Boulevard.
The southern portion of the quadrant, along Rosecrans Avenue west of Aviation Boulevard, is
designated as Urban Mixed -Use South, allowing a mixture of office, hotel, and retail uses. This area
totals 70.6 acres. The northeast corner of Rosecrans Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard (84.8 ac),
currently occupied by Air Products and Allied Chemical, are designated for heavy industrial. There
is a small commercial piece (0.9 ac) along Sepulveda Boulevard, just south of El Segundo
Boulevard.

SUMMARY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS REPORT
Northwest Quadrant
The northwest quadrant of the City has the most varied mix of uses within the City. All of the City's residential
units, the Downtown area, the Civic Center, and the older industrial area of Smoky Hollow, are located in this
quadrant. The 1992 Plan retains the three residential designations found on the old Plan: single - family, two -
family, and multi - family, plus a new designation of Planned Residential Development. The Plan shows 357.2
acres of single - family, 57.4 acres of two - family, 119.3 acres of multi - family and 5.7 acres of planned
residential development. This includes the re- designation of Imperial Avenue School, which is no longer used
for educational purposes, from Public Facility to Planned Residential Development. The total number of
dwelling units projected by the Plan is 7,675. One of the major goals of the 1992 Plan is to preserve the
residential neighborhoods.
The Smoky Hollow area, which houses many of the City s older industrial uses, has been designated Smoky
Hollow Mixed -Use, in recognition of the existing Smoky Hollow Specific Plan. The Specific Plan allows a
combination of industrial, retail, office, and residential uses. The Smoky Hollow area is approximately 94.3
acres.
The 30 -acre Downtown area is designated as Downtown Commercial, where existing uses are already of a
community - serving nature. There are also 7.1 acres designated for Neighborhood Commercial uses along
Grand and Imperial Avenues and at Mariposa and Center Streets. These have been designated only where
there are existing neighborhood - serving commercial uses.
The public schools, private schools, Civic Center, Library, and other public uses are all shown as Public
Facilities. In addition, each of the existing public parks are designated as such. The open space areas under
utility transmission corridors and the preserve for the Blue Butterfly are designated as Open Space.
The areas designated for parking on the Plan include public- and privately -owned lots which are necessary
to serve existing businesses and the Downtown area.
The southwest corner of Sepulveda Boulevard and Imperial Avenue is designated Corporate Office (17.8 ac)
allowing a mix of office uses, similar to what exists there now, with retail in the lobby.
There are General Commercial uses indicated along Sepulveda Boulevard, where there are existing
commercial uses including the Hacienda Hotel. There is also one General Commercial area along Imperial
Avenue, where the Crown Sterling Suites Hotel now exists.
General Plan • Land Use Element Page 3 -9
Buildout Projections
Each exhibit shows the amount of acreage by land use designation and number of dwelling units or square
footage projected, where appropriate. The total number of dwelling units increases on the 1992 Plan because
of land designated for a higher intensity residential use that has not yet been developed to its allowed density.
The projected 7,675 dwelling units would house an estimated population of 17,269 people. In addition, the
projected non - residential buildout of the 1992 General Plan is less than the projected buildout of the previous
General Plan. This is due to the fact that some allowed FAR's were lowered in order to project a more realistic
and achievable buildout scenario.

SUMMARY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Demand for Housing
Based on the City's 1992 Land Use Element, it has been calculated that the City would reach
residential build out at 7,675 units. This figure includes vacant residential land and underdeveloped
land (property with less than 50 percent of its allowable density), which creates a net increase of 485
units. Under the 1985 General Plan, buildout was calculated at 7,735 units.
As required by State guidelines, other sites that may be suitable for residential development have
been identified. The El Segundo Planning Department conducted a survey of vacant,
underdeveloped, and recyclable land within the City. This survey, indicated in Exhibit H -1, illustrates
acreage and land use designations of the properties.
In January 1990, the El Segundo Air Force Base was scheduled for closure due to the lack of
affordable housing for military personnel in the South Bay region. Previously, the Air Force was
considering El Segundo as an option for the location of 250 townhouse -style units. However,
recently the Air Force has been negotiating instead to build new housing in San Pedro at the Fort
McArthur military site. The City Council has supported the concept of subsidizing market rents,
through a Joint Powers Association (JPA), for military personnel employed at the Air Force Base in
El Segundo until housing can be built to accommodate them.
The 1988 Smoky Hollow Specific Plan identified 14.0 acres as suitable for medium density
residential. This site is currently occupied by existing light industrial uses. One residential project
known as Grand Tropez has been developed providing 88 units. The remaining available 10.02
acres, which could be developed for residential, would provide 180 units based on the General Plan
density. Existing infrastructure which serves the existing light industrial uses within the Smoky
Hollow Specific Plan area would be adequate to serve residential uses.
Based on the 1992 Land Use Element for the City of El Segundo, it is not feasible for the City to
obtain its SCAG 2010 projection of 1,350 additional units over the next 19 years. Buildout has been
identified at the addition of 485 units to a total buildout of 7,675 units. It can be estimated, based
on the Planning Department log book, that applications for 302 units were submitted or approved
from January 1989 through February of 1991. Based upon construction /demolition estimates for
those two years, it can be estimated that a net increase in housing of 25 to 60 units can be expected
annually for the next two years. Based on historical trends, which indicate the City typically adds
an estimated 40 units a year to its housing stock, the City would reach its buildout of 7,675 units in
the year 2003. The current growth rate and the limited number of units available under the 1992
Land Use Element buildout calculation illustrates that it is not reasonable or obtainable to reach the
SCAG 1988 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) projection of 1,148 additional units by
1994.

Existing construction such as the market, and recently constructed, renovated commercial centers and legal nonfonforming
residential uses at densities that are currently higher than allowed by the land use designations in this plan will not realistically
be converted to mixed commercial /residential uses and these buildings are expected to remain for the life of the Plan.
The heavy industrial shown on this plan includes the Chevron Refinery, Southern California Edison Generation Station, Air
Products and Allied Chemical facilities. These facilities have processing equipment and tanks rather than buildings and are
expected to remain for the life of the Plan. Therefore, no estimated building square footage is shown.

SUMMARY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS REPORT
The City has excellent open space and recreation facilities, which exceed the State suggested
standards. These areas include publicly -owned parks, private parks, a publicly -owned beach area
open for public use, utility rights -of -way that have been used for park and open space areas, a
publicly owned golf course and driving range, and the Chevron -owned preserve for the El Segundo
Blue Butterfly.
General Plan • Land Use Element Page 3 -4
SUMMARY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS REPORT
The City of El Segundo has a wide variety of open space and recreational resources. For purposes
of this Element, they will be grouped into two categories: publicly -owned resources, and privately -
owned resources. See Exhibits OS -1 and OS -2. The publicly -owned resources include ten public
parks, three school sites, a utility transmission corridor, a golf course and driving range, a recreation
facility, and a beach area. The public facilities contribute a total of 90.47 acres of open and
recreational space to the City of El Segundo. The privately -owned facilities include three parks, two
utility transmission corridors, landscaping, a wildlife preserve, and three recreational facilities. The
private facilities account for a total of 122.99 acres. The entire open space and recreation inventory
for the City of El Segundo totals 213.46 acres.
General Plan • Open Space and Recreation Element Page 6 -2
SUMMARY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS
Public Facilities
The City of El Segundo owns and operates the Urho Saari Swim Stadium and a golf course and
driving range for public use. The swim stadium is 0.46 acres in size and is operated by the El
Segundo Recreation and Parks Department. The facility offers a variety of aquatic activities for
the enjoyment of all ages. The 9 -hole municipal golf course and driving range is 27.9 acres in
size.
General Plan • Open Space and Recreation Element Page 6 -7
Service Standards
The Subdivision Map Act (Chapter 4, Article 3, Section 66477[b]) allows the dedication of 3.0
acres of park area per 1,000 population. However, if the amount of existing neighborhood and
community park area exceeds that limit, the City may adopt a higher standard, up to 5.0
acres /1,000 population. El Segundo has a total of 85.21 acres of park land that is available to
the public (excluding the indoor recreational 0.46 swim facility). Utilizing the 1990 Census
Page 1 of 4
1272
City Council Ordinance No. 1272
EXHIBIT I
population figure of 15,223, the City of El Segundo operates at a park land to population ratio of
5.60 acres /1,000 population. See calculations below.
1. 85.21 acres = X acres
15,223 pop. 1,000 pop.
2. (15,223 pop.) x (X acres) = (85.21 acres) x (1,000 pop.)
3. X acres = (85.21 acres) x (1,000 pop.
15,223 pop.
4. X = 5.60 acres per 1,000 population
Because the City exceeds the allowable 3.0 acres /1,000 population standard ratio, it is able to
adopt the higher park land to population ratio of 5.0 acres /1,000 population.
