The City Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:
A. On December 23, 2008, The Boeing Company filed an application
for an Environmental Assessment (EA -819), General Plan
Amendment (GPA No. 08 -02) and Zone Change (ZC No. 03 -2) to
re- designate and rezone an approximately 5.89 -acre property at the
southeast corner of Sepulveda Boulevard and Imperial Avenue. On
August 5, 2009, The Boeing Company filed the additional
application for an off -site parking covenant (MISC No. 09 -02)
requesting to locate 283 parking spaces off -site at other locations
within the Boeing Campus area. If these matters are approved, the
applicant proposes to renovate the four existing buildings at the
project site and connect the buildings with a 40,791 square -foot,
three -story addition for office uses.
B. The applications from the Boeing Company were reviewed by the
City of El Segundo Planning and Building Safety Department for, in
part, consistency with the General Plan and conformity with the El
Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ");
C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts
under 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. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared and
circulated for public review and comment from June 26, 2009 to
July 27, 2009;
E. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review
and scheduled a public hearing regarding the application before the
Planning Commission for August 13, 2009. Following the August
13th public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended that
the City Council adopt this Ordinance;
F. On September 1, 2009 the City Council held a public hearing and
considered the information provided by City staff, public testimony
and the Boeing Company; and
G. This Ordinance and its findings are made based upon testimony
and evidence presented to the Council at its September 1, 2009

the Department of Planning and Building Safety.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds and
declares as follows:
A. The factual findings and conclusions set forth in Resolution No.
4612, adopted on September 1, 2009, are incorporated as if fully
set forth.
SECTION 3: Zone Change Findings.
A. Based on the factual findings and conclusions of this Ordinance,
the proposed Zone Change is necessary to carry out the proposed
project because the proposed General Plan Amendment would
change the land use classification on portions of the project site
from General Commercial to Corporate Office. The proposed Zone
Change is necessary to maintain consistency with the proposed
General Plan land uses designation of Corporate Office.
B. ESMC Title 15 is intended to be the primary tool for implementing
the goals, objectives and policies of the El Segundo General Plan.
The zone change will maintain consistency with the proposed
change in General Plan land use designation to Corporate Office
and also is consistent with the following General Plan goals,
objectives and policies discussed in Section 4 of Resolution No.
4612, adopted on September 1, 2009, which is incorporated as if
fully set forth:
1. Land Use Element Goal LU4 "provision of a stable tax base
for El Segundo through commercial uses."
2. Land Use Element Objective LU4 -3 "provide for new office
and research and development uses."
3. Land Use Element Policy LU 4 -3.6 to "require landscaping,
its maintenance, and permanent upkeep in all new office and
mixed -use developments."
2
4. Land Use Element Policy LU 7 -1.2 that "no new
development shall be allowed unless adequate public
facilities are in place or provided for."
5. Economic Development Objective ED 1 -1 "To build support
and cooperation among the City of El Segundo and its
business and residential communities for the mutual benefits
derived from the maintenance and expansion of El
Segundo's economic base."
6. Economic Development Policy ED 1 -1.1 "Maintain economic
development as one of the City's and the business and
residential communities' top priorities."
7. Economic Development Policy ED2 -1.1 "Take steps to
maintain public sector support of the business community."
Section 4: Approvals. The City Council amends the current Zoning Map to
reflect a change of the area bounded by East Imperial Avenue on the north,
Selby Street on the east, East Walnut Avenue on the south, and Sepulveda
Boulevard on the west, excluding the parcel on the southwest corner of Selby
Street and East Imperial Avenue, from General Commercial (C -3) to Corporate
Office (CO). The corresponding changes to the Zoning Map as set forth in
attached Exhibit 'A" which is incorporated into this Ordinance by reference.
SECTION 5: Environmental Assessment. Resolution No. 4612 adopted an
MND for this Project which, among other things, properly assesses the
environmental impact of this Ordinance, and the Project, in accordance with
CEQA. This Ordinance incorporates by reference the findings and analysis set
forth in Resolution No. 4612.
SECTION 6: Repeal or amendment of any provision of the ESMC will not affect
any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and
imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance's
effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for
sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of
this Ordinance.
SECTION 7: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of
this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of
original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of
this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this
Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.
SECTION 8: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is
deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that
3
such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or
applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 9: Effective Date. This Ordinance will become effective on the thirty -
first (31 st) day following its passage and adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 15th day of September
