the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§
21000, et 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);
D. An Initial Study was prepared pursuant to the requirements of CEQA. The
Initial Study demonstrated that the project could cause significant
environmental impacts. Accordingly, a Draft Subsequent Environmental
Impact Report ( "DEIR ") was prepared and circulated for public review and
comment between September 25, 2003 and November 11, 2003;
E. The Department of Community, Economic and Development Services
completed its review and scheduled a public hearing regarding the
application before the Planning Commission for November 13, 2003;
F. On November 13, 2003 the Commission opened a public hearing to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the application
including, without limitation, information provided to the Commission by
City staff and representatives of Mattel, Inc. and continued the public
hearing to December 18, 2003;
1
G. On December 18, 2003, the Planning Commission held the continued

No. 03 -2 and Development Agreement No. 01 -3;
The City Council considered the information provided by Mattel, Inc., City

submitted by the Department of Community, Economic and Development
Services.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings. The Council finds that the following facts exist:
A. The real property affected by this resolution includes two parcels located
at 455 Continental Boulevard - a 3.5 acre irregular shaped area, and at
1955 East Grand Avenue - a 5 acre rectangular area;
B. The subject properties have vehicular access from Continental Boulevard
and East Grand Avenue;
C. The 455 Continental site is currently occupied by private recreational
facilities, and the 1955 East Grand Avenue site is currently occupied by a
55,000 square foot two -story office building and associated surface
parking;
D. The applicant proposes constructing 300,000 square of office and
research & development space and a parking structure at 455 Continental,
and 255,000 square feet of office and research & development space and
a parking structure at 1955 East Grand Avenue. The applicant also
proposes demolition of the 55,000 square foot office building at 1955
Grand Avenue.
E. The subject property is located within the Corporate Office (C -O) Zone,
which allows development with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.8:1. The
applications request that the FAR be increased to 1.96:1 for the 455
Continental Boulevard parcel.
2
F. An amendment to Section 15 -5D -7F of the ESMC is necessary for
consistency with the General Plan.
SECTION 3: Development Agreement Findings. The proposed project requests to
amend the Grand Way Development Agreement, originally adopted in 1985 and
amended in 1993. The proposed amendment would extend the term of the agreement
until 2011 (eight years from date of adoption) and would include 1955 E. Grand Avenue
as a part of the agreement. The project approved as part of the Development
Agreement would be as generally described in Section 2 above. Pursuant to City
Council Resolution No. 3268, adopted June 26, 1984, the City Council finds that:
A. The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses,
and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific
plan; because the Development Agreement would provide the following
public benefits in exchange for valuable development rights (eight -year
entitlement):
1. Development of a property that is currently vacant and unused.
2. Increasing and further stabilizing the City's tax base through the
expansion of an existing business.
3. Increase in employment opportunities for the City's citizenry.
4. Increasing City revenues through the generation of taxes that outweigh
the City cost of services.
5. Development of a project that will increase the use of the MTA Green
Line.
6. Development of a project that is consistent with the elements of the
General Plan.
7. Contribution of approximately $858,789 in police, fire, library, and
traffic mitigation fees to offset the impacts of the project on public
services.
B. The project is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations
prescribed for, the land use district in which the real property is located.
The proposed use and development standards are similar and compatible
with the existing uses and standards permitted in the CO zoning on the
property except as provided in the Development Agreement.
C. The project is in conformity with the public convenience, general welfare
and good land use practice. The project would facilitate constructing public
improvements. The project would also be designed to support and
encourage public transportation uses and help solidify the CO Zone as a
center for corporate headquarters contribute by enabling Mattel to
consolidate some of their facilities onto their corporate headquarters
campus.
D. The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare. The proposed project will not create any negative environmental
3
impacts, with the exception of construction and cumulative carbon
monoxide air quality impacts.
E. The project will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or
the preservation of property values. The proposed Development
Agreement Amendment and Extension will ensure that the project will be
developed in an orderly fashion. All mitigation measures will be
implemented at the time and place impacts occur.
F. The project would also be designed to support and encourage public
transportation uses and contribute to the continued diversification of the
northeast quadrant of the City.
G. The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare. As established in the factual findings in this Ordinance, the
proposed project will not create any negative environmental impacts, with
the exception of construction and cumulative carbon monoxide air quality
impacts.
SECTION 4: Approvals. The City Council approves the following:
A. ESMC § 15 -5D -7F is amended to read as follows:
"Building Area: The total net floor area of all buildings shall not exceed the
total net square footage of the property multiplied by 0.8 or an FAR 0.8:1.
Additional FAR may be granted for properties east of Sepulveda
Boulevard only, with approval of a transfer of development rights (TDR)
plan. A maximum FAR of 1.96 is permitted for the property referred to as
455 Continental Boulevard (Assessor's Parcel Number 4138 - 007 -043),
pursuant to Development Agreement No. 01 -3."
B. The City Council renews, extends, and amends the Grand Way
Development Agreement by and between the City of El Segundo and
Mattel, Inc as set forth in attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated into
this ordinance by reference.
C. Subject to the conditions listed on the attached Exhibit "B," which are
incorporated into this Ordinance by reference, the City Council approves
Zone Text Amendment No. 03 -2, and Development Agreement No. 01 -3.
SECTION 5: If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court
of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that such invalidity will not affect the
effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end; the provisions
of this Ordinance are severable.

Agreement.
