the proposed Zone Change is necessary to carry out the proposed

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 General Plan goals, objectives and
policies discussed in Section 4 of Resolution No. 4641, adopted on
February 2, 2010, which is incorporated as if fully set forth.
Section 4: Approvals. The City Council amends the current Zoning Map to
reflect a change of the Project Site, which fronts East Imperial Highway to the

attached Exhibit 'A" which is incorporated into this Ordinance by reference.

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 Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for
2
sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of
this Ordinance.
