The existing land use designation of "Single Family Residential" for the new Holly Valley Park is inconsistent with the General Plan land use designation of "Parks" for other public parks in 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 Impenal 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 7,664 One of the mayor 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 93 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 Manposa 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 pnvately -owned lots which are necessary to serve existing businesses and the Downtown area. The southwest comer of Sepulveda Boulevard and Impenal 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.

The existing trends scenarios, therefore, take these existing uses into account, where they are expected to remain for the life of the Plan. 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 protected 7,664 dwelling units would house an estimated population of 17,244 people In addition, the projected non- residential buildout of the 1992 General Plan 1s 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 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 majonty. 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 eaming 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 dunng 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 bnng the City population to approximately 18,160 persons, thus requinng 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 7,664 units. This figure includes vacant residential land and underdeveloped land T H E C I T Y O F E L S E G U N D O • G E N E R A L P L A N 5 -3 0 019 EXHIBIT "C" of City Council Ordinance No. 5. Housing Element Page 6 of 11 (property with less than 50 percent of its allowable density), which creates a net increase of 474 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 474 units to a total buildout of 7,664 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 7,664 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 T H E C I T Y O F E L S E G U N D O * G E N E R A L P L A N 5 -4 0 020 EXFIIBIT "C" of City Council Ordinance No._ Page 7 of 11 Lands Suitable for Resldential Development Land Use Designation Vacant Acres Underdeveloped Acres Recyclable Acres Net Potential New Units Single -Family 1.1 0.0 0.0 9 Two - Family 0.3 14.9 0.0 63 Planned Residential 0.0 0.0 5.7 65 Multi- Family 0.6 23.4 6.2 168 Smoky Hollow Mixed Use 0.0 0.0 9.4 169 Grand Total 2.0 I 38.3 21.3 474 r Ns( PobnOW Now Un s s*Wr bW nsw wft bas /uoas lost howl h%rWf4" of ufdwdarsbpad W W Q 9..

Both of these issues are addressed through the Implementation policies that are located at the end of this document. The majority of El Segundo's open space resources are in the form of Improved park land. Therefore, the City's parks and recreation Issues will be addressed in this Element. Open space Issues also overlap those of other elements, such as Land Use, for designation of open space areas; Conservation, for the protection of natural resources; and Safety, for the protection of the public health and safety. Therefore, related discussions can be found in such elements, and the information contained In them is consistent with this document.

See Exhibits OS -1 and OS -2. The publicly -owned resources include ten public parks, three school sites, a utility transmission corridor, a golf driving range, a recreation facility, and a beach area. The public facilities contribute a total of 89.57 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 212.56 acres.

They are as follows: Acacia Park, Candy Cane Parkette, Constitution Park, Hilltop Park, Holly Valley Park, Kansas Parkette, Library Park, Recreation Park (community park), Sycamore Parkette, and Washington Park. A variety of playground equipment, picnic facilities, and recreation structures are located throughout the park system. The El Segundo Unified School District of Los Angeles County and the City of El Segundo have signed agreements to allow joint use and operation of the park and recreation facilities located at El Segundo High School, El Segundo Middle School (Richmond), and Center Street Elementary School. The agreement that was renewed on September 12, 1990, generally allows the City to provide recreational programs and facilities on public school grounds during after- school hours and on weekends The Imperial Elementary School site is closed and unused. The Junior High School site is currently leased to the Los Angeles Raiders football team and has one year left on its lease. The Imperial School site is designated for Planned Residential Development on the Land Use Plan The narrow sandy beach area located west of the Chevron Refinery and the SCE energy facility, is publicly owned by the State Lands Commission and is maintained by the County of Los Angeles. The County of Los Angeles also maintains a bicycle path that runs along the narrow shoreline and connects with the county paths in the City of Los Angeles to the north and the community of El Porto to the south. Access to the beach area is provided from the north through Dockweiler State Beach, and from the south through Manhattan State Beach. The Imperial Strip is a city-owned and maintained utility transmission corridor which runs along the City's northern city limit. The 7.35 -acre area between Hillcrest Street and Center Street functions as a passive open space corridor that buffers the City from the Los Angeles International Airport. The City of El Segundo owns and operates the Urho Saari Swim Stadium and a golf 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 27 -acre driving range property is proposed to be redeveloped into a 9 -hole golf course. The Recreation and Parks Department operates three facilities that provide meeting places for local clubs and organizations: the Joslyn Adult Center, the George E. Gordon Clubhouse, and the Teen Center. T H E C I T Y O F E L S E G U N D O • G E N E R A L P L A N 6 -7 0 024 ZA111ts11 "C" of City Council Ordinance Ao. Page 11 of 11 6. Open Space and Recreation Element Old Town Music Hall operates as a motion picture theater which features silent films of the 1920's and classics of the 30's and 40's. The Old Town Music Hall is open to the general public. The Seiko Tennis Court is only available to Seiko employees. Two additional utility transmission lines traverse the City. The associated right-of-way area that is located underneath the lines provides valuable scenic and recreational open space. The City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power corridor encompasses a 32 -acre scenic strip area, and the 10 -acre Southern California Edison utilities right -of -way is developed into a park land corridor. Service Standards The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) recommends a quarter -of -a -mile service area around each small park and a half -mile service radius for larger facilities There is a 1 -block by 1 -block area within the western portion of the City and a narrow portion of the northern part of the City, that are located beyond the recommended service distance from any park There are no public park facilities located in the eastern portion of the City, east of Sepulveda Boulevard, where there are no residential uses. 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 86.11 acres of park land that is available to the public (excluding the indoor recreational 0.46 swim facility). Utilizing the 1990 Census population figure of 15,223, the City of El Segundo operates at a park land to population ratio of 5.7 acres /1,000 population. See calculations below 1. 86.11 acres = X acres 15,223 pop. 1,000 pop. 2 (15,223 pop ) x (X acres) = (86.11 acres) x (1,000 pop.) 3. X acres = (86.11 acres) x (1.000 oon.) 15,223 pop. 4 X = 5.7 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.

Land Use Element 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 7,664. 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 93 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 comer 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.

The County of Los Angeles also maintains a bicycle path that runs along the narrow shoreline and connects with the county paths in the City of Los Angeles to the north and the community of El Porto to the south. Access to the beach area is provided from the north through Dockweiler State Beach, and from the south through Manhattan State Beach. The Imperial Strip is a city -owned and maintained utility transmission corridor which nuns along the City's northern city limit. The 7.35 -acre area between Hillcrest Street and Center Street functions as a passive open space corridor that buffers the City from the Los Angeles International Airport. The City of E1 Segundo owns and operates the Urho Saari Swim Stadium and a golf 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 27 -acre driving range property is proposed to be redeveloped into a 9 -hole golf course. The Recreation and Parks Department operates three facilities that provide meeting places for local clubs and organizations: the Joslyn Adult Center, the George E. Gordon Clubhouse, and the Teen Center. T H E C I T Y O F E L S E G U N D O • G E N E R A L P L A N 6 -7 0 032 L,AL11j011 "L" Of CIty COUnCtt vr"tit"I&Ve avu,_ PaJ; e 8 Of 10 6. Open Space and Recreation Element These facilities provide recreation opportunities for all ages within the community. Funding for recreational programming, facility maintenance, and improvements is obtained through participation fees/charges, donations, grants, the Community Development Block Grant Program, Propositions "A" and "C," the general fund, and water funds. The City does not collect recreation or park land development fees. One of the main concerns of the City of El Segundo is the protection of the community's health and safety. As such, a variety of flood control basins have been located throughout the City. These basins provide the City with valuable visual open space in the areas in which they occur and have potential for reuse and development into park land as modifications to the drainage system are made. Private Facilities It is estimated that 20 percent of the recreational facility users are non - residents. To help accommodate the demand beyond that of the residents, several large private employers, such as Chevron, Hughes, and Wyle Laboratories, have established extensive on -site parks and recreation facilities for their employees and their families. Wyle Park is open to the general public; however, due to the park's General Plan designation, Wyle Laboratories has the ability to convert the park into a parking lot if and when Wyle Laboratories needs the area for parking. The El Segundo Parks and Recreation Commission has adopted standards in order to provide recreation facilities for the daytime employee population and to reduce the demands on public recreation facilities which are intended primarily to serve the resident population. Commercial and industrial developments that have been required to include on -site employee recreation facilities include the El Segundo Research Center, Grandway, the Continental Grand Plaza, and Xerox Centre Phase Will. Preservation of open space for the protection of natural resources is an issue in El Segundo which pertains to the existence of the El Segundo Blue Butterfly (Shijimiaeoides battoides allyni). This type of butterfly is on the federal endangered species list and occurs on 1.96 acres of land located next to the Chevron Refinery. The Chevron Corporation has established a preservation program to help sustain and increase the butterfly population by attempting to expand the buckwheat habitat in which it lives. Additional private facilities include the 9.8 acres of landscaping surrounding the Chevron area, the 3.8 -acre Chevron fitness center facility, the Old Town Music Hall, and the Seiko Tennis Court.

The Old Town Music Hall is open to the general public. The Seiko Tennis Court is only available to Seiko employees. Two additional utility transmission lines traverse the City. The associated right -of -way area that is located underneath the lines provides valuable scenic and recreational open space. The City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power corridor encompasses a 32 -acre scenic strip area, and the 10 -acre Southern California Edison utilities right -of -way is developed into a park land corridor. Service Standards The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) recommends a quarter -of -a -mile service area around each small park and a half -mile service radius for larger facilities. There is a 1 -block by 1 -block area within the western portion of the City and a narrow portion of the northern part of the City, that are located beyond the recommended service distance from any park. There are no public park facilities located in the eastern portion of the City, east of Sepulveda Boulevard, where there are no residential uses. 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 86.11 acres of park land that is available to the public (excluding the indoor recreational 0.46 swim facility). Utilizing the 1990 Census population figure of 15,223, the City of El Segundo operates at a park land to population ratio of 5.7 acres /1,000 population. See calculations below. 1. 86.11 acres = X acres 15,223 pop. 1,000 pop. 2. (15,223 pop ) x (X acres) = (86.11 acres) x (1,000 pop.) 3. X acres = (86.11 acres) x (1.000 pop.) 15,223 pop. 4 X = 5.7 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.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Hold Public Hearing, 2) Discussion, 3) Reading of Ordinance by title only, 4) Introduce Ordinance, and 5) Schedule second reading and final adoption of the Ordinance on January 16, 1995. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: On November 16, 1995, The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No 2369 which recommends approval of revisions to the Zoning Map, Subdivision and Zoning Code, and the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan The revisions include amendments which have been discussed at Planning Commission and City Council workshops over the last year The purpose of the revisions is to refine the codes which were adopted on November 16, 1993 Over the course of the two years since the codes were adopted, staff has discovered sections of the code that could be improved to make the codes more internally consistent and more "user- fnendly" There are additional revisions to the codes which represent sections of the old codes which were unintentionally omitted when the codes were adopted in 1993 The revisions affect both residential and nonresidential zones, as well as other sections such as Definitions and Off- street Parking and Loading Special attention has been given to revise the requirements for certain residential care facilities for which local zoning is preempted by State law The revisions list those facilities which must be allowed in residential zones. The zone text amendments include those modifications reviewed by the Planning Commission at the February 23, 1995 workshop as previously distributed to the City Council In addition, staff has identified other revisions since that workshop, such as creating procedures for the appeal of administrative decisions (is. Adjustments, Administrative Use Permits, Administrative Determinations, and Variance Determinations) There are also new revisions to various code sections based on recommendations made by the City Council and public at City Council workshops held on July 10 and October 16, 1995. The Planning Commission had extensive discussions on the issue of accessory structures in residential zones and has recommended the creation of a 14 foot height limit for accessory structures (current limit is 26 feet and one floor level) which will permit a second floor above a garage or accessory building The Planning Commission, after reviewing the surrounding lot characteristics of the eleven (11) lots which would be impacted by the elimination of the lot width exception provisions, which allows for 40 foot and 44 foot wide lots, recommended that the existing language be retained to allow these lots to subdivide. Pursuant to Council's direction, the Planning Commission has also recommended that the size of parking stalls be increased in commercial zones and that parking in excess of code requirements be full size spaces (Continued on next page ATTACHED SUPPMM 1 Ordinance No. _ Other Supporting documents were distributed separately on December 5, 1995 due to the quantity of the documentation (Check one) Operating Budget Capital Improv.

Morrison, City Manager ais 0 036 Staff has also identified two amendments to the Zoning Map which should be made The southeast comer of Holly Avenue and Valley Street has been developed as a City park and therefore should be shown as Open Space (O -S) on the Zoning Map The O -S Zoning for a portion of Chevron's Blue Butterfly Preserve lust West of Loma Vista Street at Binder Place should be shown extending 32 5 feet farther to the north to reflect the actual size of the property. A General Plan Amendment is also being processed for these revisions and will be presented to the City Council on December 19, 1995 The City Council previously adopted EA -275 and Ordinance No 1169 certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report on December 1, 1992 for the 1992 General Plan, finding that the Final EIR was a complete and adequate document properly identifying potential environmental impacts and potential mitigation measures to reduce the identified impacts The proposed changes in the Zoning Code are not separate independent land -use actions They are changes contemplated merely to implement the General Plan There are no significant changes in the land -use designations and no changes to floor area ratios Pursuant to 15168 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the changes are not likely to create any environmental impacts not already considered by the General Plan Final EIR. Therefore, no additional environmental documentation is required Due to the length of the Ordinance (47 pages), Redline /strikeout version of amendments, the Planning Commission Resolution, and other supporting documents, they are being transmitted separately instead of being included in the City Council agenda packet 0 037 ORDINANCE NO.

The proposed Zoning Code is consistent with the 1992 General Plan SECOND RESIDENTIAL UNITS 1. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65852.2, the City finds that the requirement that a second dwelling unit on Single - Family Residential (R -1) property maintain two parking spaces is consistent with existing neighborhood standards applicable to existing dwellings. Because the size of second dwelling units are not limited, allowing large units which can have many bedrooms, tends to create the need for more than one parking space, thus the required parking is directly related to the use of a second dwelling unit. Requiring two parking spaces per dwelling unit is consistent with existing neighborhood standards since two parking spaces are required in all residential zones throughout the City. Off - street parking is allowed in rear and sideyard setback areas in the rear third of a lot and tandem parking is also permitted. ENVIRONMENTAL FINDINGS 1. The City Council previously adopted EA -275 and Ordinance No. 1189 certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report on December 1, 1992 for the 1992 General Plan finding that the Final EIR was a complete and adequate document properly identifying potential environmental impacts and potential mitigation measures to reduce the identified impacts. The proposed changes in the Zoning Code are not separate independent land -use actions. They are changes contemplated merely to implement the General Plan There are no changes in the land -use designations or floor area ratios. Therefore, they are not likely to create any environmental impacts not already mitigated by the General Plan Final EIR 2. The City Council hereby determines that the project is covered by the previously certified Environmental Impact Report and the General Plan Program EIR adequately describes the proposed project for the purposes of complying with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). 3. That when considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project will have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which wildlife depends 4. That within 10 days following the final adoption of the Zone Text Amendments and Zone Changes by the City Council, the City shall file a De Minimus Finding with the County of Los Angeles Recorders Office, pursuant to AB 3158 and the California Code of Regulations and shall file a Notice of Exemption, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Until appropriate notices are filed with the County of Los Angeles, the project shall not be deemed to be vested and no permits may be issued.
