B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would
be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or Improvements in the vicinity; and,
C. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this
chapter.
At the March 9, 1995, Planning Commission meting the following key issues were discussed-
TRAFFIC: Concerns were raised that additional vehicular trips would impact parking pedestrian and
vehicular safety, and traffic now on the streets in the immediate vicinity of the site, particularly Palm
Avenue A Traffic Impact Study and Parking Analysis was prepared by the applicant's Traffic Engineer to
evaluate potential protect Impacts The City's consultant Traffic Engineer, the Public Works Department
and the Planning Division all reviewed the report and agreed with the conclusion that the project would
cause no traffic or parking impacts The Analysis indicates that the project would not result In a significant
Impact at any of the study area Intersections, including Sepulveda and Palm which operates at Level of
Service (LOS) "A" and "B" The applicant has further revised the project to address the neighbors' concerns
by prohibiting left -turns onto Palm Avenue off of the site, which reduces the total daily e trips from the protect
onto palm to 40, and the westernmost driveway onto Paim Avenue will t eliminated. Based a traffic
counts conducted in November 1994 and again on Thursday, April 20 and Saturday AAri122, 1995, th re
e
are 830 daily trips on Palm, west of the car wash site, which is projected to increase to 870 with the
Proposed project The roadway capacity of palm Is approximately 10,000 daiy trips, at LOS "E ". With
6,000 daily trips on Palm Avenue the LOS would still remain at LOS "A"
The revised project, including the point -of -sale ffice component, would generate a demand for up to 18
Parking spaces plus the waiting area needed for vacuuming, queuing prior to the car wash, and customer
Pick-UP of the vehicles. The Farling Demand Analysis indicates that the site plan, with 22 parking spaces,
adequately accommodates all of the parking demands of the project The zoning code allows a maximum
20% (4) tandem spaces and 2 tandem spaces are proposed Residents also suggested closing palm to
westbound traffic or creating a cul-de -sac. These proposals are not a part of this applhcation n the CUP
process and should be discussed at a separate hearing
NOISE: Public testimony also indicated that the proposed project would result in an increase in noise levels
due to the operation of the car wash, vacuums, gasoline pumps and tube foci
Acoustical Analysis, and the Addendum to the Analysis which addresses the elimination of gasoline sales,
Proper by the applicant's Acoustic Consultant, the noise levels generated by the facility, measured at the
west property One, will generally be within the existing ambient noise levels. This is due to the noise from
LAX aircraft traffic to the north and traffic on Sepulveda Boulevard to the east. The Acoustical Analysis
concludes that overall noise levels from the proposed car wash, including the vacuums, and lube, are not
considered to be a significant noise impact to the residential areas to the west and north of the proposed
project. The Analysis indicates that noise levels from the car wash will be less than the existing LEO
ambient noise levels, except at 11 a m the car wash facility will generate noise levels that are 1 dbA above
ambient, which is imperceptible
AIR QUALITY: The increase in vehicle fumes and their air quality impacts to the residential areas to the
west and north of the proposed project were discussed by area residents A Draft Initial Study, which was
Prepared in accordance with the South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) CEQA Air
Quality Handbook criteria, indicates that the project win generate traffic levels below the threshold of
significance and therefore associated operational emissions wilt be below the SCAQMD's levels of
levelscan ig Additionally, the construction of the project will generate emissions below the SCAQMD's
level of significance
FISCAL IMPACT: The project has the potential to increase public service demands The Fiscal Impact
Analysis, utilizing the City's Fiscal Impact Model, indicates that the project without gasoline sales, will

The Fiscal Impact Analysis has been further revised to include a new component, the sales tax revenue

BRIEF SUMMARY: Continued
SURROUNDING LAND USES. Residents raised concerns about the proximity of the multiple family
residential units to the commercial uses on Sepulveda. All of the west side of Sepulveda, for seven blocks
between Holly and Sycamore Avenues, is zoned as C -3, with R -3, Park and R -1 zoning to the west,
respectively The R -3 zone immediately abuts the C-3 zone to the west in most instances, however, on
this site there is a 73 foot separation due to the Hacienda Hotel parking lot and a landscaped strip, plus
a 10 foot elevation difference between the R -3 multi-fancy uses and the project site. This distance, as well
as the project design, adequately buffers the proposed use from the existing residential uses.
SECURITY: Residents raised concerns that there would be an increase in crime due to the proposed
carwash facility The applicant has met with the Police Department, who has recommended numerous
security measures The applicant has agreed to work with the Police Department in developing and
Implementing a security plan related to the physical design as well as operational aspects of the proposed
project.
At the public hearing, testimony was also presented which related to the proposed 24 -hour retail store with off -site
consumption beer and wine sales. Since these uses are not part of this CUP, these discussions may not be
appropriate for this application
The Planning Commission Staff Report and attachments, minutes, Resolution No 2362, the appeal letter,
continuance request letter, and addendums to the Acoustical, Fiscal and Traffic Impact Analysis were previously
distributed to the Council. This staff report includes a letter from the applicants attorney, a Traffic Impact Study

Re: Comments regarding the Proposed Project located at 639 Sepulveda Blvd.
(Ennis)
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council:
This letter is being submitted for your consideration in support of the application for car
wash /convenience store submitted by Thomas Ennis, Sr., President of N/S Corporation
(Conditional Use Permit EA -359 and CUP 94 -6). Since the staff already has submitted a
detailed analyses of the characteristics of the project, the intent of this letter is to highlight those
aspects of the project which my client believes have been overlooked during the Planning
Commission public hearing or constitute supplemental information which will be of interest to
the City Council during the public hearing.
MODIFICATIONS OF PROJECT TO RESPOND TO COMMUNITY CONCERNS
In recognition of various concerns raised at the Planning Commission hearing, the
applicant has modified his proposal in the following manner: 1. deleted all gasoline sales;
2. reduced the hours of operation of the convenience store from 24 hours to 6:00 A.M. to 12 :00
Midnight; 3. eliminated the westernmost (egress only) driveway on Palm Ave.; 4. modified the
configuration of the remaining driveway on Palm Ave.; and, 5. added an additional 3 on -site
parking spaces. A revised site plan will be submitted to the City by the project architect under
separate cover. By making these significant changes, the project will have even less potential
to create adverse impacts in the immediate vicinity such as traffic generation, noise, fumes, and
general safety.
In response to the particular concerns about traffic intrusion into the residential area to
the west, the applicant has modified the configuration of the driveway on Palm Ave. so that
traffic is directed to Sepulveda Blvd. The revised site plan shows that the driveway will have
a "Right Turn Only" restriction combined with a concrete, curved channel, which will direct the
exiting traffic to the east toward Sepulved Blvd. The consulting traffic engineer stated in his
letter dated April 8, 1995 that these modifications would reduce project- generated traffic
traveling to the west and should mitigate the concerns of the residents in that area.

It has been brought to the attention of the applicant that there may be a misunderstanding
regarding the provision of employee parking. While the original site plan designated certain
employee parking spaces, such a designation is not intended to be exclusionary. Except for 6
parking spaces identified for use by convenience store patrons, all other spaces on -site may be
used in any manner which best serves both the customers and employees of the business. The
fact that the applicant's architect has been able to locate an additional 3 parking spaces should
help to eliminate any residual fears that the development is underparked.
Since the completion of his April 8, 1995 letter, the traffic engineer also has been
requested to comment on the traffic - related impacts of revising the driveway configuration,
reducing the hours of operation and increasing the number of on -site parking spaces. He has
agreed to provide the City Council with an updated report which will be submitted under
separate cover from this letter.
SCOPE OF REVIEW FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
It the hope of the applicant that the City Council does not lose sight of the purpose of a
public hearing for a conditional use permit. Pursuant to State law, a conditional use is one
which has been determined to be acceptable in a given zone classification as long as it is
compatible with the surrounding land uses. The Council has the responsibility to accept
testimony and, to determine from all of the evidence submitted, whether the use is compatible
as proposed, is compatible with conditions or is incompatible with the area.
The applicant has submitted technical studies from the traffic engineer and an acoustical
consultant, both of whom have prepared revised studies as the characteristics of this project have
been refined. As is clearly indicated in the staff report, the conclusions reached by these experts
is that this proposal will have little if any adverse impact on the residential area to the west.
Although it is understandable that some residential property owners may be concerned with any
development of this parcel of land, vacant for many years, the concerns of these individuals must
be balanced against the professional ,judgment of the staff and the opinions of technical experts.
If the Council carefully weighs the arguments regarding potential impacts, it should be clear that
this project is one of the least intrusive ones which might be located on this site.
CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING ORDINANCE
The city staff has compiled a thorough report documenting the fact that this project meets
or exceeds each and every land use policy or development standard applicable to this site.
Clearly, the proposal is far less intense than projects which have been approved in years past
or which could be developed as a matter of right under today's standards. To deny this project
is tantamount to saying that no development of this long vacant site is acceptable to the city,
even if it is in compliance with all applicable land use guidelines and standards, and an objective
*^ 015

review of the environmental documentation fails to reveal adverse impacts.
It is evident that the City of El Segundo took considerable effort to devise a land use
pattern that concentrates commercial development along the State highway, that the commercial
developments are planned to be located adjacent to high density residential, and that the high
density residential areas are to provide a buffer to the single family areas. The City has adopted
a textbook approach to establishing land use relationships, and such policies are to be
commended and followed.
SITE DESIGN
This proposed project has been designed in such a manner that the most heavily utilized
portion of the property is oriented toward Sepulveda Blvd. By incorporating such a site planning
strategy, most potential adverse impacts, while minimal, will be directed toward Sepulveda Blvd.
frontage and away from the multi - family developments to the west.
It should be noted that this project is separated from residential development by an
approximate 70 foot surface parking lot, under different ownership. Further, the proposed
project is approximately 10 feet lower than the east property line of the multi- family project,
also reducing any potential impacts. A landscaped buffer has been provided along the west
property line to provide an enhanced visual element to the site design. By eliminating the
westernmost driveway on Palm Ave., there will be even fewer turning movement and less
occasion for traffic to turn west into the residential area. Also of significance is the fact that
prevailing wind patterns are from west to east, thus further reducing the already negligible
impacts generated by the development.
It is appropriate to emphasize that this project is vastly less intense than other projects
which might be considered for the site. For example, the site has approximately 25% of the
FAR that is permitted in the C -3 zone. The height is to be 29 feet as opposed to the 45 foot
limit that is permitted. Similar comments can be made regarding other development standards.
It is hoped that the City Council will recognize the benefits this project brings to the community
in terms of its low density and minimal structural and visual impacts.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Those of us who are long term residents of the South Bay have noted with great interest
the efforts undertaken by the City of El Segundo to attract business to the community. The city
has beeen successful in communicating its interest in working with prospective commercial
enterprises through its hiring of an Economic Development Director as well as the costly
billboard and print advertising campaign. Being impressed by this city program and the positive
d1 (1'0
April 24, 1995

response to his project by the city staff, the applicant was attracted to purchasing property and
investing in El Segundo.
Mr. Ennis firmly believes that, if the City Council can step back from the emotionalism
surrounding his application, it will become clear that this project is a "Win -Win" for both the
city and his family. This site has been vacant for an extensive period of time. There is no
similar business currently existing in the city. The proposal is perfectly sited by being located
on Sepulveda Blvd. The proposal is in full compliance with all land use policies and
developments standards. In fact, it is far less intense than the scale of development permitted
by the zoning ordinance. For these reasons, Mr. Ennis has been quite surprised by the
opposition to his project, especially since some residents appear to be willing to use this proposal
as a means to seek city approval of other desired objectives.
The applicant has expressed concern that comments made by some members of the City
Council at the public hearing on April 1, 1995 may be misconstrued. At the meeting it was
mentioned that the City of El Segundo has "targeted" specific types of businesses which it has
desires to attract through its economic development program. An example of a targeted industry
would be high technology. My client would like the community to be clear that this program
in no way detracts from the beneficial qualities of the uses he proposes and the ability of the city
to approve the project in addition to carrying out the economic development program. In fact,
it is highly unlikely that the targeted businesses would build on a vacant site of this small size
when there is an abundance of unoccupied existing space available.
Of interest is the fact that the applicant will make the City of El Segundo the point of sale
for this new N/S Express car wash equipment and process, if it is possible to do so with the
approval of the State of California. If this proposal can be implemented, the revenues to the city
will be far in excess of those which were included in the Fiscal Analysis prepared at the time
of project submittal.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
The applicant intends to be a part of the El Segundo community for the long term. He
is not a speculative developer lacking concern for the ongoing issues in the community. The
proposed car wash is intended to be a showcase for potential purchasers of his car washing
equipment. The entire business operation will be managed on site by his family. Employees
will be selected for their potential to progress in the company to positrons of greater authority.
It is the applicant's intent to attract capable, responsible employees who are worthy of
compensation above minimum wage.

At the Planning Commission hearing, there was testimony that the convenience store
would attract an undesirable element and be a contributing factor to criminal activity. As the
Council will recall, the convenience store is one of the proposed activities which is permitted
as a matter of right pursuant to the zoning ordinance. However, the applicant is concerned
about these issues for the neighborhood as well as for his own family members and employees.
As a means of addressing this concern, the applicant proposes to reduce the number of hours
the convenience store will be open from 24 hours to 18 hours.
In addition, the applicant received a memorandum from the Police Chief suggesting a
number of operational and design techniques which might be employed to reduce the likelihood
of criminal activity. He is appreciative of this input and fully intends to investigate the
implementation of each and every suggestion. At no time, however, has the Police Department
expressed any opposition to the project based on an expected increase in criminal activity
resulting from the proposal. If there are generalized citizen concerns regarding the adequacy
of staffing the Police Department, possibly these issues might be addressed in greater detail
outside the parameters of this public hearing.
It is my hope that these remarks will assist the City Council is arriving at an approval
of the project based on its obvious merits. Mr. Ennis has indicated a continued willingness to
work with the community to resolve any issues which might subsequently arise. He is anxious
to demonstrate to the City Council his commitment to solving problems, and would be pleased
to provide additional information that Council may request as part of its deliberations.
Sincerely,

Subject: NIS Car Wash
Dear Ms. Jester:
Subsequent to the last City Council meeting, the applicant for NIS
Car Wash has modified the site plan and the operating hours in an
effort to reduce potential impacts; i.e., the west driveway on Palm
Avenue has been eliminated and the facility would be closed at
midnight. The elimination of the west driveway on Palm Avenue
would not adversely affect on -site circulation as the primary
function of this driveway was to provide an exit for users of the
gasoline pump, which is no longer proposed for this project. As a
benefit, the removal of the driveway would provide the opportunity
to add several employee parking spaces to the site.
The proposed closure of the facility from midnight till 6:00 a.m.
would reduce the daily traffic volumes as there would be no site -
generated traffic during these hours. The project's impacts on
peak hour traffic conditions, which were determined not to be
significant in the traffic study, would remain unchanged as a
result of the reduced operating hours.
Another issue which has been raised is the concern that the
baseline traffic volumes on Palm Avenue might be higher now than
they were when the counts were originally taken for the traffic
study in November, 1994. This issue relates to the fact that the
condominiums on Palm Avenue were not occupied in November while
they are occupied today. As a check, new traffic counts were taken
on Palm Avenue on Thursday, April 20 and Saturday, April 22, 1995.
The November counts and the April counts are shown below for
purposes of comparison. The November counts were taken on
Thursday, November 3 and Saturday, November 5, 1994.

Comparison of Traffic Counts
As shown on the table, the April 1995 traffic counts are actually
lower than the counts that were taken in November 1994. Both sets
of counts were taken on a Thursday and a Saturday and both reflect
the afternoon peak hour. One reason that the traffic counts have
decreased is that the condos were actively being marketed to
potential buyers in November, which generated numerous vehicle
trips as people drove to Palm Avenue to view the condos.
Regardless of the reason, the numbers indicate that the traffic
volumes have decreased moderately on Palm Avenue and that the
findings of the traffic study are still valid.
Palm Avenue, while expected to experience an increase in traffic as
a result of the project, would not be significantly impacted as the
traffic volumes would remain acceptable for a local residential
street. With the implementation of the left turn restriction and
channelization at the Palm Avenue driveway, the daily traffic
volume on the residential section of Palm Avenue west of the car
wash site is projected to increase from 830 vehicles per day (vpd)
without the project to 870 vpd with the project or up to 960 vpd if
the turning restrictions are ineffective at the car wash driveway.
As a comparison, the residential segments of Center Street have a
daily traffic volume of approximately 3,000 vpd. Palm Avenue west
of the car wash would continue to operate as a low volume street.

Subject: E1 Segundo Car Wash - Generated Traffic volumes
Comparison With Fast Food Restaurant
Dear Mr. Ennis:
At your request, I have calculated the volume of traffic that would
be generated by a typical fast food restaurant which could be
developed at the Sepulveda /Palm site in E1 Segundo. Using the
average trip generation rates from the Trip Generation manual
(Institute of Transportation Engineers, 5th Edition, 1991) and a
typical building size of 3,000 square feet, the calculations
indicate that a fast food restaurant would generate significantly
more traffic than the proposed car wash, as demonstrated in the
table below.
Comparison of Traffic Volumes - Car wash vs.'Fast Food
I would also like to discuss a letter dated 4/15/95 from a realtor
named John Garland (no relation) which compares the prices of homes
on busy streets vs. homes on non -busy streets. The obvious
conclusion of the letter is that houses on busy streets typically
have a lower selling price per square foot than comparable houses
on non -busy streets. Center Street, which is cited as an example
of a busy street, currently has a daily traffic volume of 2,800 to
3,700 vehicles per day (vpd). The residential ,section of Palm
Avenue west of the car wash site, on the other hand, carries 83D
vpd which is projected to increase to 870 vpd, and Palm Avenue west
of Washington Street would have a volume 530 vpd. Palm Avenue,
therefore, is classified as a non -busy or low volume street.

The threshold commonly used to determine if a residential street is
above its environmental capacity is 2,000 to 3,000 vpd.
Environmental capacity is the traffic volume above which residents
feel uncomfortable about the impact of traffic on their safety and
well being. Center Street, with 2,800 to 3,700 vpd, is above the
environmental capacity, while Palm Avenue, with 530 to 870 vpd,
would continue to remain well below the environmental capacity of
2,000 vpd. Palm Avenue would not, therefore, be significantly
impacted by the project.

2) Council discussion, and
3) Review facts and required findings and provide direction to staff for final action on the appeal
On September 30, 1994 the Planning Division received an application from the Midway Companies for
Burlington Air Express requesting approval for a new 95,300 square foot air freight forwarding facility on a
vacant 533 acre lot on the southwest corner of Impenal Highway and Lapham Street in the Urban Mixed -Use
(MU) zone The proposal included 3 vanance requests, as follows 1) southeast comer setback, 2) siting of
loading spaces, and 3) driveway width The project has been redesigned to meet the code requirements for the
setback and driveway width and only the variance for the siting of the loading spaces remains The project has
also been reduced in size to 93,800 square feet, induding 20,000 square feet of office and 73,800 square feet
of warehouse The applicant has increased the number of dock doors from 35 to 37, and the outside loading
dock has been elimnated The applicant has also revised the plans to include 120 instead of 125 parking
spaces With the reduced building square footage 93 parking spaces are required by code Additionally, the
Lapham Street driveway will be modified to provide a minimum 40 foot distance from the end of the curb return
to the driveway, pursuant to staffs recommendation
Freight forwarding facilities are not pemhitted by nght in any zone, and in accordance with Section 20 36 040 C
they require a Conditional Use Permt (CUP) According to Section 20 74 060, before a Conditional Use Permt
may be granted, it shall be found
A That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of this
title and the purposes of the zone In which the site is located
B That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which It
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or
welfare, or matenally injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity, and

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Continental Development Corporation (CDC) is proposing to develop a mixed -use
commercial project consisting of the following components
The three -story 2041 Rosecrans Avenue office building containing
approximately 83,000 square feet of office space will be renovated and
converted into a 80,000 net square foot retail and office building
Approximately 29,000 square feet on the ground floor is designated as retail
and 51,000 square feet on the second and third floor will be retail and/or office.
A 40 space exterior surface parking lot adjacent to the building will be
retained. A bookstore is proposed to occupy 41,000 square feet of the building
The 871 S Nash Street building is a three -story office building containing
approximately 72,500 square feet This building is also attached to a four - level,
340 space parking structure located immediately to the rear (or west) of 871
61" 030
S Nash Street. The office building will be demolished and a new 65,000 square
foot cineplex, containing 18 movie screens with a 3,550 seating capacity will
be constructed The parking structure will remain and service both the
theaters and the retail/office building The 2041 Rosecrans Avenue building
and 871 S Nash Street buildings are located on 3 5 acres (152,498 sq.ft.) of
land with a current Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 101
• The 831 S Nash Street property is located on 2.7 acres (110,423 square feet)
which includes a 7,401 square foot access easement for the adjacent CDC
parcel The site is improved with a vacant two -story office building containing
approximately 105,000 square feet with two levels of parking located above.
The building is proposed to be demolished and a 190 space parking lot will be
built in its place.
• The two parcels of land are proposed to be reconfigured through a Lot Line
Adjustment which will also eliminate an access easement between the 831 and
871 S Nash Street buildings The resulting FAR for Lot 1, containing the
retail/office building, is 0 68 and the FAR for Lot 2, containing the theaters, is
0.45.
• A nine -level parkin.- structure containing approximately 1,688 parking spaces
is located at 870 S Nash Street and will be connected to the retail/office and
theater buildings by an approximately 25 foot wide crosswalk with a
pedestrian activated signal across Nash Street north of Rosecrans This
parking structure serves an office building during the day and will provide 844
of the required parking spaces for the theater and retail/office during evening,
weekend, and holiday hours The building is mostly vacant and currently
undergoing renovations. It also houses the new Wolfgang Puck Cafe.
• The circulation plan for the project includes a new "shadowed" left turn lane
to access the existing driveway in the southwest corner of the site from
eastbound Rosecrans Avenue. Additionally, the left -turn lane at eastbound
Rosecrans Avenue and Nash Street will be converted from a single lane to a
dual left -turn lane. These lanes require modification of the Rosecrans Avenue
median which lies partially within the boundaries of the City of Manhattan
Beach Rosecrans Avenue will also be widened in the westbound direction to
create a nght -turn lane for ingress to the driveway in the southwest corner of
the project site A separate right -turn lane will be added for westbound
Rosecrans Avenue traffic to turn onto Nash Street. Related to the project is a
proposed widening of the east side of Nash Street to accommodate a valet
parking drop -off lane adjacent to 2121 E. Rosecrans Avenue. The pedestrian
activated crosswalk signal will be connected to the signal at Nash Street and
Rosecrans Avenue in order to synchronize the operation of that intersection
with the Nash Street driveway intersection
• Other elements of the Circulation Plan include renovating the access to the
site from an existing driveway on Nash Street between the proposed theater
and the retail/office building. This reconfigured driveway will likely act as an
informal drop -off area for the box office and as access to the parking structure
west of the theater An existing traffic circle at the northern terminus of Nash
Street will be eliminated in order to accommodate a new driveway
configuration for the 190 space surface parking lot. An additional street
widening along the west side of Nash Street next to the proposed theaters is
also proposed for another drop -off lane.
• According to the Fiscal Impact Analysis, between 303 -351 employees will
occupy the site with 80 theater employees and 223 -271 retail/office building
employees. Of the 223 -271 employees in the 2041 Rosecrans Avenue building,
the number of retail employees will vary from 58 -102, depending on the mix
of office and retail uses Office employment is expected to range between 121-
213 Hours of operation for the theater will be 10.00 AM to 12:00 PM Sunday
through Thursday and 10 00 AM to 2.00 AM Friday and Saturday.

The project site is located within the southeast portion of the City of El Segundo
approximately one mile west of the San Diego (I -405) Freeway The project area is
6 03 acres (262,737 square feet) The location is also in the southwestern portion of
Continental Park. Continental Park is a large office and industrial park containing
approximately 2 million square feet of office, research and development, hotel, health
club, and restaurant space The project area is bounded by Rosecrans Avenue on the
south, Nash Street on the east, an industrial facility on the west, and railroad tracks
on the north Local jurisdictions bordering or near the site include the City of
Manhattan Beach located immediately south of Rosecrans and the City of Hawthorne
located east of Aviation Boulevard.
The project site is currently developed and has been historically used for commercial
uses since 1972 The City's General Plan designates the site for mixed use
development The project is located within a highly urbanized environment and is
presently fully improved The topography of the site is quite level and contains no
unique geologic features. Landscaping is limited and is only found along Nash Street
on the east and along Rosecrans Avenue on the south
SURROUNDING AREA
The area surrounding the project site is highly urbanized Land uses are comprised
of medium -scale (e.g. three to seven - story) office, commercial and industrial uses A
five -story office building, nine -level parking structure and a three -story office building
are located within Continental Park immediately to the east of the site along Nash
Street The office building and parking structure across Nash Street will be linked
to the project by a signalized pedestrian crosswalk. An industrial air processing plant,
Air Products Inc., is located to the west of the site. Immediately to the north is an
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad right -of -way with tracks leading to the
Chevron Oil Refinery about 1/3 of a mile to the west. Beyond the railroad tracks is
vacant land zoned for heavy industrial purposes. The Manhattan Marketplace Retail
Center and a five -story office building housing a credit union are located to the south
across Rosecrans Avenue Beyond the credit union building is the Radisson Hotel
with golf and tennis facilities. To the south -west of the project across Rosecrans
Avenue lies the Manhattan Village Shopping Center Within Manhattan Village is
a 6 screen Mann Theaters with 1,200 seats. There are no residential uses located in
the immediate project vicinity The nearest residential uses are approximately 1,000
feet south of the project, adjacent to the Radisson Hotel golf course. The project site
is only visible from Rosecrans Avenue on the south and from Nash Street on the east.
Topographically, the project vicinity is generally level to rolling terrain and is
currently developed except for north of the property. Landscaping within the project
locale is associated with the developed commercial and office properties.
Surrounding land uses are as follows.

CODE CONSIDERATIONS
The existing buildings, uses and development standards were approved under a
Precise Plan (PP -12) in 1972 A Precise Plan is a term for a development application
that is no longer used in the City for new projects. A Precise Plan would now be
called a Specific Plan because it amends the zoning map by establishing permitted
uses and development standards that apply only to the area covered by the plan. No
variances are required for Precise Plans, the approval establishes the required
development standards for a project The original Precise Plan 12 -72 approved
"offices, service -type facilities, and related parking ". The location of the 871 S Nash
Street parking structure on the western property line without any required setback
is one such development standard which was established through adoption of Precise
Plan 12 -72.
The Precise Plan was amended twice to account for changing uses on the property
Precise Plan 73 -3 increased the floor area and altered the design of the parking
facilities A required deceleration lane on Rosecrans Avenue was eliminated as part
of Precise Plan 74 -10 to accommodate a new drive -thru teller for a now vacated bank
in the 2041 E Rosecrans Avenue building
The proposed amendment would allow theaters as a permitted use for Precise Plan
12 -72 as well as allow the construction of the theater building within the street
sideyard setback normally required for the MU zone. The applicant has not finished
the design of the theater building Therefore, elevations are not yet available and the
setbacks may change as the design is finalized Final review by staff, the Planning
Commission, or the City Council will ensure the consistency of the design with the
surrounding area
However, each of the proposed uses is permitted by the zoning and General Plan
designations. A lot line adjustment to reconfigure the two parcels on the subject
property will be processed by staff in accordance with the Subdivision Code and the
State Subdivision Map Act. The project is not expected to produce significant impacts
in the pattern or scale of existing development on the project site or in the general
area of the project. The adoption of a precise plan is a legislative act by the City
Council Therefore, there are no specific required findings which must be made for
the uses or development standards, other than the facts and findings why the Precise
Plan is necessary to carry out the general purpose of the Zoning Code.
The Urban Mixed -Use Zone, pursuant to Section 20.36.010 is established to provide
area(s) where a mixture of compatible commercial, offices, research and development,
retail and hotel uses can locate and develop in a mutually beneficial manner. It is
the intent of the MU Zone to have several types of uses occupying a single building,
or if a project includes multiple buildings, then each building should contain a
different type of use. The project is in conformance with the purposes of the MU zone

The General Plan Land Use Designation for the site, as well as the zoning, is Urban
Mixed -Use (MU). In accordance with the General Plan, "The Urban Mixed -Use
designation allows a mixture of uses including office, hotels and retail. Light
industrial uses are allowed with discretionary approval. The Urban Mixed -Use
designation is designed to allow for a flexibility of uses near the three proposed and
one future Green Line transit stations. The designation will accommodate a transition
from older uses, which is being driven by the market forces described in the Economic
Development Element. The MU designation allows an FAR of 13, the maximum
density allowed in the area, since traffic and air quality impacts associated with
higher densities can be more easily mitigated with mixed uses in close proximity to
mass transit Findings must be made that the project is in conformance with the
goals, policies and objectives of the General Plan in order to approve the project.
Interpretation of conformity with the applicable provisions of the General Plan is a
5
034
policy decision that is at the discretion of the Planning Commission and the City
Council.
The proposed project is in conformance with many General Plan goals, policies and
objectives related to Economic Development Land Use, Circulation and Air Quality
The following Economic Development objectives and policies apply; ED 1 -1.1, ED 1-
1 2, ED 1 -2, ED 1 -2.1, ED 1 -2.2, and ED 1 -2.3, which relate to prioritizing economic
development, diversification of an economic base, expanding the retail and
commercial base, targeting industries that balance economic development and quality
of life goals, and balancing development with resource and infrastructure capacity
Many Land Use goals, policies and objectives apply including, LU 1 -5 5, LU 4, LU 4-
1.1, LU 4-12, LU 4 -1.4, LU 4 -3 1, LU 4 -3 6, LU 4 -4, LU 4 -4 3, LU 4 -4.6, LU 4 -4.7, LU
4 5, LU 7 -1.2 and LU 7 -2.3. These issues relate to beautifying the City entrances,
providing a stable tax base, providing landscaping, insuring seismic safety,
encouraging ground floor retail use in a mixed -use environment, providing synergistic
relationships with mixed uses and ensuring a mix of uses in the Urban Mixed -Use
area, encouraging alternative transportation modes, providing good accessibility to
transportation routes, and requiring adequate public facilities and underground
utilities
Circulation Element policies and objectives also apply to the proposal including, C 1-
1 13, C 1 -1.17, C 1 -2 1, C 1 -3 2, C 2 -1.6, C 2 -2 2, C 2 -3.3, C 2 -5.1, C 3 -1, C 3 -1.1, C 3-
12, C 3 -1.5, C 3 -17, and C 4 -1.2. These policies identify the need for full
examination of project traffic impacts and complete mitigation, signal
synchronization, a hierarchy and street classification system correlated to capacity
and function, incorporation of off - street loading facilities, facilities designed for easy
pedestrian access, bicycle facilities, pedestrian linkage to the Green Line,
implementation of TDM standards, evaluation of Circulation system impacts, full
mitigation of all project- related circulation impacts, integration of transportation with
land uses and surrounding environments, requiring developers to pay for mitigation
measures, adequate pedestrian and bicycle access and evaluation of project impacts
on CMP routes.
The final policies and objectives which apply to the proposed project are contained
within the Air Quality Element including; AQ 7 -1.1, AQ 10-13, and AQ 12-12, which
relate to requiring conformance with the SCAQMD PM10 standards, improved traffic
flow through signal synchronization, and encouraging energy conservation features
in the design of new projects

A Draft Initial Study was prepared by staff for the project which identified potential
adverse environmental impacts related to air, water, noise, light and glare, land use,
risk of upset, transportation/circulation, public services, utilities, and human health
The original application indicated a 3,900 seat theater Therefore, most of the
environmental analysis is based on this assumption. However, the proposed theater
operator, Pacific Theatres, revised their plans and proposed a maximum 3,600 seat
theater The transportation/circulation impact analysis was based on a theater with
• maximum of 3,600 seats even though the project has been revised again to reflect
• new proposed maximum of 3,550 seats. The affect of this change is to reduce the
required parking and as a result a new parking structure is not needed on the north
end of the property anymore A surface parking lot is now proposed and the theater
layout has been reconfigured to accommodate the surface parking lot. The revision
does not materially affect the environmental documentation which was based on
3,600 and 3,900 seats
No significant adverse environmental impacts were identified which could not be
mitigated to an insignificant level, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impacts is proposed. The Draft Initial Study was circulated for inter-
departmental and affected public agency review and comments, as required by City
Council Resolution No 3805 and State CEQA guidelines All departments have
0
k FA, 035
concurred with the staff recommendation to approve a Mitigated Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impact, although additional mitigation measures are
recommended, which are discussed under the Transportation/Circulation section of
the Initial Study Summary If the project is approved, all of the mitigation measures,
as detailed in the Draft Initial Study, will be incorporated into the conditions of
approval
The following summarizes the air quality, risk of upset, transportation/circulation,
and public services analysis in the Draft Initial Study-
Air Quality
An Air Quality Assessment was prepared to address the air quality implications of
site development from its existing uses to the proposed uses The report includes a
discussion of the current air quality in the project area and an analysis of the air
polluting emissions generated by the existing on -site uses. The existing uses generate
the following total mobile and stationary air pollution emissions per day (1) 1,119.9
pounds of Carbon Monoxide (CO), (2) 78 4 pounds of Reactive Organic Compounds
(ROC); (3) 108 7 pounds of Nitrogen Oxides (NO.); (4) 7 3 pounds of Sulfur Oxides
(SO.); and (5) 10 7 pounds of Particulate Matter (PM10) An analysis of the change
in travel patterns which would be associated with the proposed project was used as
the basis for determining the emissions inventory for the retail/entertainment
complex Stationary source emissions associated with the consumption of electricity
and natural gas attributable to the proposed project were also estimated The study
found that 95% of the vehicle trips associated with the theater would be redirected
from other theaters in the West Los Angeles and South Bay areas. Only 5% would
be new trips. Net emissions (proposed project minus existing use emissions) were
calculated and compared to the applicable significance thresholds utilized by
SCAQMD This analysis concluded there would be a net reduction in air pollution
emissions per day due to the proposed project as follows (1) -731.9 pounds of CO; (2) -
24 7 pounds of ROC, (3) -119 2 of NO.; (4) -10 1 pounds of SOx, and (5) -16 6 pounds
of PM10. Additionally, an analysis of carbon monoxide emissions at selected roadway
intersections indicated there would be no significant impact upon one -hour and eight -
hour local area CO concentrations in accordance with methodologies set forth by the
Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)
Risk of up
An Asbestos Survey performed for the 831 S Nash Street office buildings by the
applicant revealed the presence of asbestos in the drywall patching and drywall mud
of the building, which ranged from below the level of detection (BLD) to one percent
asbestos. When combined with the drywall itself as a complete system, and with the
understanding that the drywall itself is a complete system, and with the
understanding that the drywall and drywall mud are an integrated system which
cannot be separated, the composite material has an analytical result of less than one
tenth of one percent (<O.1) asbestos Therefore, the drywall and drywall mud system
is not Asbestos Containing Construction Material (ACCM) or Asbestos Containing
Building Material (ACBM), and they may be demolished and disposed of as a normal
construction debris However, during demolition some airborne asbestos is to be
expected Compliance with SCAQMD Rule 1403 regarding asbestos emissions during
demolition will be adhered to. Therefore, project construction activities are concluded
to not have a significant risk of upset impact
Mmmortation/Chmulation
A Traffic Impact Study was prepared by the applicant for the project to evaluate
potential impacts The Study estimates that a net total of 2,710 average daily trips
(ADT) ends would be generated by the proposed project per weekday with 3,600 seats
This includes 2,800 trips associated with the theater and 3,690 trips associated with
the retail/office uses, after adjusting for a 40% pass -by reduction The traffic from the
7
&.,. 03R
existing uses (3,780 trips) was subtracted from the proposed to establish the net
increase
The Study examined 9 intersections The Study indicates that during the morning
peak hours (7 -9 A M.), two intersections would experience an increase in traffic
volumes with no changes in Level of Service, two intersections would experience no
change, and five intersections would experience improved traffic with three of those
at a higher Level of Service. During the afternoon peak hours (5 -7 P M.), five inter-
sections would experience an increase in traffic volumes, one changing in Level of
Service from LOS A to LOS B, and four intersection would experience a decrease in
traffic. The traffic at the intersection of Aviation and Rosecrans was judged to be
significantly impacted by the project. However, through a prior land dedication by the
applicant at Rosecrans Avenue near Aviation Boulevard for road widening, the
intersection is expected to improve from LOS F to LOS E and therefore, no further
mitigation is required Cumulative project impacts as well as ambient traffic growth
were also analyzed and the report concludes that there will be no significant traffic
or circulation impacts
Additional analysis was prepared which focused on the traffic generation along Nash
Street during the Saturday P.M. peak period (7 00 P.M to 8 00 P M.), and the
parking demand expected during the heaviest weekday peak period (2:00 P M to 3 00
P M ), and Saturday P M peak period For the purposes of this analysis a seating
capacity of 3,550 was used. During this period 1,243 inbound trips and 926 outbound
trips are expected to be generated by the project. The Nash Street driveway
intersection and the portion of Nash Street between the proposed crosswalk and
Rosecrans Avenue will be subject to a multitude of different pedestrian and vehicle
movements in a relatively short road segment. The traffic associated with the valet
drop -off for 2101 Rosecrans, the potential vehicle queuing at the pedestrian crosswalk
to allow 2,340 pedestrians to cross during the peak hour, as well as the conflicts
between pedestrians and vehicles entering the parking structure at 870 S Nash
Street and the driveway between the retail/theater complex, all lead to the conclusion
that without mitigation there will be significant hazards for vehicular and pedestrian
travel in the area during the P M peak hour on Saturday The Draft Initial Study
contains 10 mitigation measures which will be implemented to reduce these potential
impacts to a less than significant level
The proposed mitigation measures have been revised from those described in the
Draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. The proposed approximately 25
foot wide pedestrian crosswalk will be constructed just north of the northern most
driveway at 870 S. Nash Street, instead of waiting for problems to arise and then
moving the crosswalk and signal from the originally proposed location south of the
three access driveways, as the mitigation measures provided. The northern location
of the crosswalk will move 2,340 pedestrians crossing Nash Street out of the way of
the three driveways which access the 870 S Nash Street parking structure which
expect 287 vehicles entering between 7:00 P.M. and 8 00 P.M. This alternative will
provide a safer vehicular and pedestrian environment The separation of pedestrian
movements from the vehicle movements could also be accomplished by building a
pedestrian overpass across Nash Street from the parking structure to the theater
plaza area The applicant was given the option to utilize a pedestrian overpass as an
alternative to the at -grade pedestrian crosswalk by the Planning Commission. The
applicant has had the time to evaluate the two alternatives and has determined the
at -grade pedestrian crosswalk will be utilized Staff has no objection to this choice
It is the responsibility of the City Council to determine the effectiveness of the
mitigation measures proposed for the potentially significant impacts identified by
staff The City Council can require mitigation measures in addition to those in the
Draft Initial Study or require alternative mitigation measures in order to
substantially lessen or avoid any significant effects CEQA requires that the applicant
agree to the mitigation measures or an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be
prepared The applicant has agreed to all of the mitigation measures which are
detailed as conditions of approval in Planning Commission Resolution No 2364 and
the Draft City Council Resolution If the City Council determines that the impacts
3
CW 037
can not be mitigated to an insignificant level and that the project may have a
significant environmental impact, then CEQA requires that an EIR be prepared to
examine the significant impacts.
The Traffic Impact Study also examined the proposed ,joint -use parking arrangements
being proposed and concluded that even based on full occupancy of the 2121 E.
Rosecrans office building, there would be a sufficient supply of parking in the 1,688
space parking structure to handle the demand imposed by the proposed project. The
results show a weekday surplus of 686 parking spaces at 2:00 P.M. on weekdays and
a Saturday peak hour surplus of 662 spaces at 9:00 P M .
Public Services and FiscaUlrmact Anal
The project has the potential to increase public service demands which include Fire,
Police, Recreation and Parks, Public Works, Building Safety, Library and general
governmental services These demand increases are evaluated in a Fiscal Impact
Analysis prepared by the applicant. The cost of City services as applied to the project
is weighed against the offsetting revenues to the City generated by the proposed use
for the project's first five years of operation.
The Analysis compares the fiscal impacts of two different project scenarios compared
to the existing use of offices as if they were fully occupied. The first analysis assumed
the 2041 E Rosecrans would contain 51,000 square foot of retail and 29,000 square
feet of office. The second scenario reversed the square footage devoted to retail and
office in 2041 E Rosecrans Avenue The results of the Analysis indicate that project
revenues to the City in both scenarios outweigh the costs of municipal services. Total
Net Fiscal Impact (revenues minus costs) for the five -year Analysis term is $684,100
to $1,120,300 The Net Fiscal Impact for the first year of the Analysis is $227,000 to
$303,100 due to the inclusion of the various one -time fees for Fire, Police and the
Library.
The Analysis for the Marginal Fiscal Impact, the revenues and cost of the proposed
project minus the revenues and cost for the existing use of the site, indicates an
annual positive marginal fiscal impact of $213,700 after the fifth year of operation.
The project Draft Initial Study and plans were circulated to all inter- departmental
staff and their comments are attached to the report The Finance and Library
Directors, the Building Safety Division, and Department of Recreation and Parks had
no comments on the project
The City Manager expressed concern regarding the effectiveness of Condition #15 in
the Planning Commission Draft Resolution No 2364, which required relocation of the
crosswalk and signal to an area north of the three driveways accessing the 870 S
Nash Street parking structure if problems arise with the originally proposed location
of the crosswalk, as a mitigation measure for the identified tragic problems. As
previously discussed, the applicant has agreed to relocate the pedestrian crosswalk,
which addresses the City Manager's concerns He also questioned the use of current
traffic levels instead of 1988 traffic levels as specified by the General Plan The
Traffic Impact Study used current traffic counts because four of the five study
intersections for which a comparison could be made are experiencing worse traffic
now in the morning or evening peak period than in 1988 Thus, current counts
represent a worst -case scenario
The Police Department has concerns related to the originally proposed location of the
pedestrian crosswalk and the feasibility of utilizing a City traffic control officer to
moniter P.M peak hour traffic on Nash Street. The Police Department commented
that the original location of the crosswalk further to the south and the volume of
traffic will present pedestrian safety concerns and cause traffic to become congested
9
a 038
on Nash Street and back -up onto Rosecrans Avenue. They also commented that there
are logistical problems involving staffing, liability, and deployment hours for the
proposed City traffic control officer mitigation measure, as indicated in the Draft
Initial Study Due to the relocation of the crosswalk, the Police Departments concerns
regarding pedestrian/vehicular conflicts has been addressed and the requirement for
a traffic control officer has been eliminated The Police Department has also
coordinated the provisions of a Security Plan with the applicant. Elements of the
Security Plan include uniformed security guards, lighting provisions, money handling,
video surveillance, burglar alarms, and staff training The final Security Plan
discussed in Condition #7 has been agreed upon by the Police Department and the
applicant and has been distributed to Council
The Fire Inspection Division noted that fire lanes, a fire control room, emergency
power for a Fire/Life Safety System, a voice activation system, and five year
certification for the fire sprinkler system are required. The Fire Department
recommendations have been incorporated into the draft Resolution as conditions of
approval. The Public Works Department recommends that the applicant fund the cost
of construction and maintenance of the proposed signal and that the applicant
assume liability for the operation of the proposed signal and crosswalk. Public Works
Departments recommendation for funding the construction and maintenance of the
proposed signal has been incorporated into the draft Resolution as a condition of
approval
The County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles supplied revised wastewater
generation rates for the project. Based on the new calculations, wastewater
generation will be reduced from 32,600 gallons per day, as discussed in the Draft
Initial Study, to 23,450 gallons per day. They also commented that the project will
be subject to their connection fees and capacity standards

and office building Approximately 29,000 square feet on the ground floor is designated as
retail and 51,000 square feet on the second and third floor will be retail and/or office An
exterior surface parking lot adjacent to the building will be retained The proposed theaters
and retail/office building are located on a 3 5 acre lot.
3 The 831 S Nash Street property is located on 2 7 acres which includes a 7,401 square foot
access easement for the adjacent theater parcel The site is improved with a vacant two -story
office building containing approximately 105,000 square feet with two levels of parking above
The building is proposed to be demolished and a new 190 space surface parking lot will be
built in its place
4 The two parcels of land will be reconfigured through a Lot Line Adjustment, which will also
eliminate the access easement between the 831 S Nash Street and 871 Nash S Street
buildings The resulting FAR for the proposed project on the new lot is 0.56.
5 The nine -level parking structure containing approximately 1,688 parking spaces, located at 870
S Nash Street, will be connected to the plaza area between the retail/office and theater
buildings by an approximately 25 foot wide crosswalk with a pedestrian activated signal across
Nash Street at a position north of the northern most exit driveway of the parking structure
at 870 S Nash Street and the driveway immediately north of the parking structure This
parking structure serves an office building during the day and will provide ,joint parking for
the theater and retail/office during evening, weekend, and holiday hours
6 The area surrounding the project site is highly urbanized Land uses are comprised of medium -
scale (e g three to seven - story) office, commercial and industrial uses. A five -story office
building, nine -level parking structure and a three -story office building are located within
Continental Park immediately to the east of the site along Nash Street An industrial air
processing plant, Air Products Inc , is located to the west of the site Immediately to the north
is an Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad right -of -way with tracks leading to the Chevron
Oil Refinery about 1/3 of a mile to the west Beyond the railroad tracks is vacant land zoned
for heavy industrial purposes The Manhattan Marketplace Retail Complex and a five -story
office building housing a credit union are located to the south across Rosecrans Avenue
Beyond the credit union building is the Radisson Hotel with golf and tennis facilities To the
south -west of the project across Rosecrans Avenue lies the Manhattan Village Shopping
Center Within Manhattan Village is a 6 screen Mann Theaters with 1200 seats There are no
residential uses located in the immediate project vicinity The nearest residential uses are
approximately 1,000 feet south of the project, adjacent to the Radisson Hotel golf course
Topographically, the project vicinity is generally level to rolling terrain and is currently
developed except for north of the property Landscaping within the project locale is associated
with the developed commercial and office properties
7 The existing buildings, uses and development standards were approved under a Precise Plan
(PP -12) in 1972 The precise plan was amended twice to account for changing uses of the
property Precise Plan 73 -3 increased floor area and altered the design of the parking facilities.
A required deceleration lane on Rosecrans Avenue was eliminated as part of Precise Plan 74-

Avenue building Approval of a Precise Plan requires findings that the Precise Plan is
consistent with the General Plan
8 The proposed project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In
accordance with State guidelines and local requirements, a Draft Initial Study and Mitigated
Negative Declaration was prepared and circulated for interdepartmental and affected agency
review No significant adverse impacts were identified which could not be mitigated to an
insignificant level, including impacts to traffic /circulation, risk of upset, air quality and public
services
9 The Fiscal Impact Analysis, utilizing the City's Fiscal Impact Model, indicates that the project
will generate a fiscal surplus for the City of between $636,300 to $1,067,200 during its first
five years of operation depending on the mix of office and retail in the 2041 E Rosecrans
Avenue building, after consideration of City service costs

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: AFTER CONSIDERING THE ABOVE FACTS, TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE
PRESENTED AT THE HEARING, AND STUDY OF PROPOSED ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT EA -350 AND AMENDMENT TO PRECISE PLAN 12 -72, THE CITY
COUNCIL MAKES THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT
AND AMENDMENT TO PRECISE PLAN 12 -72
ENVHtONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FINDINGS
The City Council hereby makes the following findings related to the environmental effects.
The Draft Initial Study was made available to all local and affected agencies and for public
review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law The Initial Study concluded
that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, the
adoption of mitigation measures would reduce these effects and impacts to a less than
significant level The potentially significant effects identified in the Initial Study were
increased demand for public services, vehicular /pedestrian conflicts on Nash Street, a reduced
Level of Service (LOS) at the intersection of Rosecrans Avenue and Aviation Boulevard,
increased parking demand, exposure to asbestos during the demolition of the 831 S Nash
Street building, potential discovery of previously unknown cutlural resources, and construction
related fugitive dust emissions The impacts on public services were reduced to a level of
insignificance by the mitigation measures set forth in Conditions 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8 of Section
3 of this Resolution The impacts on vehicular /pedestrian conflicts were reduced to a level of
insignificance by the mitigation measures set forth in Conditions 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 of
Section 3 of this Resolution The impacts on the Level of Service at the intersection of
Rosecrans Avenue and Aviation Boulevard were reduced to a level of insignificance by a prior
land dedication by the applicant which will enable the intersection to be widened and the Level
of Service improved Therefore, no further mitigation measures for this effect are required The
impacts of parking demand were reduced to a level of insignificance by the mitigation
measures set forth in Conditions 5 and 28 of Section 3 of this Resolution The potential impacts
from exposure to asbestos during demolition were reduced to a level of insignificance by
mitigation measures set forth in Condition 25 of Section 3 of this Resolution The impacts of
the potential discovery of previously unknown cutlural resources were reduced to a level of
insignificance by the mitigation measures set forth in Condition 26 of Section 3 of this
Resolution The effect of construction related fugitive dust emissions were reduced to a level
of insignificance by the mitigation measures set forth in Condition 30 of Section 3 of this
Resolution The Initial Study recommended that a Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact be prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA), and
2 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 the wildlife
depends, because the project is in a built -out urban environment, and
3 That the City Council thereby authorizes and directs the Director of Planning and Building
Safety to file with the appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and de mimmus
finding pursuant to AB 3158 and the California Code of Regulations Within ten (10) days of
the approval of the Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts, the applicant
shall submit to the City of El Segundo a fee of $25 00 required by the County of Los Angeles
for the filing of this certificate along with the required Notice of Determination As approved
in AB 3158, the statutory requirements of CEQA will not be met and no vesting shall occur
until this condition is met and the required notices and fees are filed with the County
