Impact was prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and

an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the project is
in a built -out urban environment; and

LAND USE ELEMENT
Proposed Land Use Plan
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,
119.4 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 7,674. 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 92.2 acres.
The 30.8 -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.

Existing construction such as the market, and recently constructed, renovated commercial centers and legal nonconforming
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 land use category 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

HOUSING ELEMENT
Summary of Existing Conditions Report
Demand for Housing
The 1990 Census identified the City of El Segundo population to be 15,223. El Segundo's residents
are predominately white (85 percent) with the largest portion of the population in the 35 to 64 -year
age bracket (38 percent). El Segundo's estimated median age is 33. Family households are still a
majority in El Segundo (56 percent) as opposed to single or unrelated households, although trends
indicate a reversal in family households as a majority. Only 3.8 percent of the households were
considered overcrowded, largely due to the number of housing units with three, four, five, or more
rooms (89 percent).
The City of El Segundo was estimated to have 77,533 jobs in 1987, according to the report prepared
by Donnelly Marketing. The majority of these jobs were identified to be in the manufacturing
industry (59.54 percent), which includes the large number of aerospace - related jobs.
The 1990 Census counted 7,190 housing units within El Segundo. In comparing jobs to housing,
the demand for housing generated by the 77,533 jobs has escalated housing prices in the City which
has affected the median income in El Segundo (in 1989, estimated to be $43,975 according to
National Decision Systems). The 1988 SCAG Regional Housing Needs Assessment identified 6,795
existing households in the City of El Segundo, of which 25.8 percent were considered low income
or earning less than 80 percent of the Los Angeles County median income.
In the 1980's the population for El Segundo increased by 10.7 percent, illustrating a reversal of the
1970's trend during which the population fell by 12 percent. SCAG has forecasted that the
population will increase by 0.96 percent annually through the year 2010. This SCAG forecast would
bring the City population to approximately 18,160 persons, thus requiring 8,540 dwelling units by
the year 2010. To accommodate this need, the City would have to add an additional 1,350 units over
the next 19 years to the existing housing stock.
Based on the City's 1992 Land Use Element, it has been calculated that the City would reach
residential build out at 7,674 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 484
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 13.02 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 9.4 acres,
which could be developed for residential, would provide 169 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 484 units to a total buildout of 7,674 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, 674 units in
the year 2005. 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.
