INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On August 4, 1997, the City Council held a special joint Public Hearing/Workshop with the Planning Commission,
which was to be the first time the Council reviewed the Second Quarter Amendments. However, due to time
constraints, while the public hearing was opened, no discussion occurred, and the public hearing was Continued to
August 5,1997; at which time the public hearing was again Continued without discussion to tonight's meeting. On June
12, 1997, the Planning Commission Adopted Resolution No. 2393 which recommends approval of revisions to the
City's General Plan, Zoning Code, and the Zoning Map. The Planning Commission Resolution was previously
distributed to the City Council. These amendments include proposed revisions to the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan
Parking which was held over from the first quarter amendments at the request of Council. Additionally, pursuant to
Council direction, the General Plan Amendment for Drive - thru's, also not adopted as part of the first quarter
Amendments, would be included with the second quarter in order to avoid using one of the four General Plan
Amendments allowed per year for the three remaining first quarter amendments (EA -405A) which is scheduled for
second reading and adoption tonight.

DISCUSSION:
The following discussion provides a brief background of each of the nine proposed Amendments, together with a
discussion and analysis of the various options which the Planning Commission discussed and the final recommended
changes. A brief summary of the Planning Commission's recommendations is shown at the beginning of each
subject in bold type. Several of the proposed amendments may require multiple amendments such as a General
Plan Amendment (GPA), Zone Text Amendment (ZTA), and Zone Change (ZC); and, therefore they have been
organized so that there is only one discussion for each item to avoid duplication. Each proposed amendment also has
multiple redline /strikeout exhibits associated with it. Each exhibit has been labeled with a header to easily cross -
reference the exhibit to the appropriate proposed Amendment.
1. SHSP Parking - Eliminate maximum 10% parking reduction in Smoky Hollow Zones, and allow parking
modifications pursuant to submittal of a parking demand study consistent with the requirements in
all other zones (ZTA).
The City Council expressed concerns regarding the current provisions in the parking section of the Zoning Code
(Section 20.54.030 B., Page 246) which allow the Planning Commission to approve a maximum 10% parking reduction
for properties located in Smoky Hollow (SB, MM, GAC and MDR Zones). Other existing provisions (Section 20.54.030,
B., Page 246) allow the Planning Commission to modify the required number of parking spaces in My zone, based
on the submittal of a Parking Demand Study. In order to provide equity and consistency for all properties in all zones,
the provisions which allow the 10% maximum parking reduction in Smoky Hollow are proposed to be eliminated.
Instead the existing provisions which allow the parking space modification with submittal of a Parking Demand Study
are proposed to apply to all zones, including Smoky Hollow. On February 13, 1997, the consensus of the Planning
Commission was to accept Staff's recommendation to eliminate the 10% maximum parking reduction in Smoky
Hollow. This item was originally part of the first quarter set of amendments, but was held over to the second quarter
by the Council.
2. Parking Covenant - Revise off -site parking covenant requirements to provide a maximum 90 year time
limit for the covenant (ZTA).
The City Attorney has requested revisions to the Off -Site Covenant requirements in order to provide a time limit for
the Covenant. Under Section 20.54.080 of the Zoning code, property owners may enter into joint use and off -site
parking facilities agreements under certain situations. These agreements are then recorded as covenant against the
property. The proposed revisions to this section would make several minor changes.
First, the new language added to subsection B would make it clear that the covenant created by the agreement would
terminate no later than ninety years after the agreement becomes effective. Under the rule of perpetuities, certain
covenants and agreements are invalid unless they terminate either within ninety years after they are created of within
twenty-one years after the death of a person alive whom is a party to the covenant when the covenant or agreement
was first created. By making this revision, the agreements to be created pursuant to Section 20.54.080 would not be
held invalid based on the rule against perpetuities.
Second, the change in subsection A clarifies that the covenant created by the joint use and off -site parking facilities
agreement must be recorded prior to issuance of any building permits or the beginning of the use, which ever occurs
first. Third, the second change to subsection A clarifies that the City Attorney may also require that certain conditions
and provisions be included in a joint use or off -site parking facilities agreement. On May 8, 1997, the Planning
Commission discussed the revisions that the City Attorney requested to the Off -site Parking Covenant requirements
in order to provide a time limit for the Covenant and agreed with Staffs recommendation.
3. Parking Demand Studies - Revisions to the requirements for Parking Demand Studies are not
recommended. (ZTA).
On December 17, 1997, the City Council authorized Staff to proceed with amendments to the Zoning Code in order
to revise the provisions of the Zoning Code related to Parking Demand Studies. The Planning Commission has already
reviewed a portion of the regulations regarding the maximum parking reduction which may be granted in the Smoky
0 015
GPA/ZTA/ZC
City Council Staff Report
August 19, 1997
Hollow Specific Plan area. The Commission as part of the first quarter Zone Text Amendments recommended to the
City Council that the 10% maximum reduction in required parking which could be granted in the Smoky Hollow Specific
Plan area, with the approval of a Parking Demand Study by the Planning Commission, be eliminated.
The current standard for the rest of the City (Section 20.54.030 B.) allows the Planning Commission to modify the
required number of parking spaces based on the submittal of a Parking Demand Study. There is no limit on the
percentage reduction, that can be granted by the Planning Commission. Therefore it is up to the Planning
Commissions judgement to determine if a modification is appropriate and the size of the reduction. In fact, a Parking
Demand Study could conclude that increased parking over Code requirements should be provided and the Planning
Commission also has the authority to use this Code section to require that additional parking be provided. Additionally,
for any use for which there is no established number of required spaces in the Zoning Code, the Director of Planning
and Building Safety or the Planning Commission can require a Parking Demand Study to specify what the required
parking should be for a particular use.
The purpose of allowing the submission of a Parking Demand Study is to give a prospective developer or business
the opportunity to prove that their particular business operation does not need the number of parking spaces required
by Code and that they should be permitted to provide some lesser number of spaces; although as mentioned above,
a greater number may be required. An example of this is when Instorage, a mini - warehouse at 1017 East El Segundo
Boulevard, applied for a Variance to rent a portion of their required parking for long term vehicle storage. A Parking
Demand Study concluded only a fraction of the required number of spaces were necessary to serve the employees
and patrons of the facility. Based on the Study, the Planning Commission subsequently granted the Variance.
One concern raised by the City Council (Liam Weston) about allowing Parking Demand Studies is that the City has
developed a number of uses for which the required number of parking spaces is established. Developers and
businesses should simply comply with the required parking regulations and not be able to reduce that number. Another
implication of allowing reduced parking through a Parking Demand Study, discussed by the City Council, is the
potential for a new tenant to occupy a building which may have less than sufficient parking for that new use because
the building was constructed with less than the number of parking spaces required by code based on an approved
Parking Demand Study for the original tenant.
Planning Staff has researched the requirements for several other Cities in the South Bay and found that the Cities of
Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach have provisions for using Parking Demand Studies to reduce the number of
required parking spaces. The City of Long Beach has a provision for establishing the required parking for uses not
specified in the Zoning Code using a Parking Demand Study; while the City of Torrance has a default rate of
approximately one space for every 152 square feet of building area for any use not specifically listed in their Zoning
Code.
The Council may choose to expand upon the current requirements for preparation of a Parking Demand Study as
other Cities have done, but these requirements may not be appropriate in all cases. For very small businesses with
a limited number of employees and visitors, a Parking Demand Study prepared by licensed Traffic Engineer may be
overly onerous and unnecessary. In these cases, a count of actual parking spaces utilized, or anticipated to be utilized,
based on the company's business operations, could be sufficient to determine parking demand.
At its meeting of May 8, 1997, the Planning Commission reviewed the current Zoning Code regulations for the use of
Parking Demand Studies as the method of determining the required number of parking spaces for uses which are not
listed in the Zoning Code; and, for business who desire to provide less than the required parking due to special
operational characteristics of their business. The Commission also reviewed the requirements from other cities in the
South Bay. The consensus of the Commission was to recommend to the City Council that the existing requirements
be retained which allow the use of Parking Demand Studies with no limit on the percentage decrease in parking that
may be granted.
4. Outdoor Dining Access - Create detailed standards for pedestrian access for outdoor dining in private
walkways (ZTA).
On August 17, 1996, the City Council adopted a Zone Text Amendment which included revisions to the requirements
for outdoor dining. As a result, the Zoning Code now requires a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor dining when the
�I 1
GPA/ZTAIZC
City Council Staff Report
August 19, 1997
outdoor dining area exceeds 200 square feet or 20% of the indoor dining area of a restaurant. Outdoor dining areas
below the size threshold are considered a permitted use. Through the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process, larger
outdoor dining facilities can be reviewed and conditions placed which require pedestrian access around the outdoor
dining areas to be protected. Without requirements in the Zoning Code for the smaller permitted outdoor dining areas,
it may be difficult to ensure safe pedestrian access is maintained around these outdoor dining areas.
Therefore, Planning Staff have proposed modifications to the Zoning Code to introduce minimum requirements to
ensure adequate access around outdoor dining areas. Staff proposes to use the standard in Title 24, the California
handicap accessibility standards and the Uniform Building Code (UBC), to insure that a minimum 48 -inch wide
pathway is maintain around an outdoor dining area. This is particularly important when existing restaurants are in a
strip mall, which would typically have a walkway between the shop front and the parking lot, request to place a small
seating area in front of their establishment. A minimum 48 -inch walkway width will ensure that pedestrians will be able
to travel safely along the walkway and not be forced to walk in the parking lot to get around an outdoor seating area.
The Public Works Department has recently approved several outdoor seating areas which encroach into the public
right -of -way (e.g., Stuft Pizza, Blue Butterfly, and Scoops Ice Cream). The business owners entered into agreements
with the City to operate the outdoor seating under specific conditions. These conditions include maintaining six (6) foot
wide clear sidewalk for pedestrian use, and other conditions to ensure the outdoor seating areas are operated in a safe
and clean manner. Planning Staff has developed two different approaches to ensure pedestrian accessibility around
outdoor dining areas. The first of these is to just include the minimum pedestrian walkway width into the site
development standards of each zone in which outdoor dining is permitted. This approach would not impose any other
requirements on operating an outdoor dining area. The second approach is to incorporate many of the conditions
placed on outdoor dining areas which encroach into the public right -of -way, into the Zoning Code to be used as general
standards for outdoor dining areas on private property. Several of these conditions do just simply reiterate other City
requirements and serve as notices to the business operator, such as requiring amplified sound permits and City
approval to sell alcohol. These are required even if they were not to be listed in this new section of the Zoning Code.
However, the City is considering these requirements in addition to the accessibility standards to ensure outdoor dining
areas are operated and maintained in a responsible manner.
On May 8, 1997, the Planning Commission reviewed proposed revisions to the development standards for outdoor
dining to provide minimum requirements for pedestrian access around outdoor dining areas. The Commission
discussed two different approaches to the amendments. The first being to require a minimum pathway of 48 inches
in width adjacent to an outdoor dining area. This standard would be placed in the general provision section of the
development standards of each zone in which outdoor dining is permitted. The second approach was to include the
48 inch wide minimum pathway, as well as other more general standards for outdoor dining, in Chapter 20.12, General
Provisions. The Commission came to a consensus to recommend to the City Council the second approach; and, made
revisions to the draft text to include the actual standards and reference the Code sections which must be complied
with. Staff has revised the text (Exhibit 4) in order to provide the actual standards and to reference the regulations
which the outdoor dining general provisions are based upon.
5. Sound Transmission Control - Move Sound Transmission Control regulations to Title 16 of the El
Segundo Municipal Code and revise standards (ZTA).
Several changes are proposed for Chapter 20.58 of the Zoning Code, at the suggestion of City Staff, including
relocating it from Title 20, the Zoning Code, to Title 16, the Buildings and Structures Code. The regulations contained
pertain to the specifics of residential construction more than to the broader guidance of the Zoning Code, and Sound
Transmission Control is enforced by the City's Building Safety Division (which enforces Title 16), not the Planning
Division (which enforces Title 20). The following outlines the proposed revisions:
1. Section 16.42.010 PURPOSE has been expanded to include that the objective of residential insulation, where
required, is to achieve an interior noise level of 45dB or lower.
2. Section 16.42.015 DEFINITIONS was added to provide definitions for the acoustic terms, since the absence
of these definitions have caused some confusion to users. Most of these definitions are currently included
in the Zoning Code and they have been updated. Two new definitions are added to emphasize the differences
between Expansions (definition 3.) and Remodels (definition 5).

3. Paragraph D of Section 16.42.020, SCOPE, has been expanded to explain why the Noise Contour Map of the
City uses Year 2000 predicted contours, rather than past or present contours. Emphasis on the Code's use
of the predicted noise contours for the year 2000 as the boundary for applicability of the Sound Transmission
Control Code is made here and elsewhere. It should be noted that if the predicted contour is accurate, there
will be a reduction of approximately 45% in the number of El Segundo residences currently within the LAX
noise impact area.
4. Section 16.42.040, APPLICATION TO EXISTING BUILDINGS, has been modified with bold titles to make use
of the Chapter easier. The sub - sections of this Section have been reorganized to provide a smoother flow of
concepts. Following sub - section A., the parameters which mandate acoustic insulation are provided followed
by descriptions of those conditions which exempt residential construction from being insulated. The Section
has also been expanded to include the four situations wherein acoustic insulation would be mandatory in El
Segundo. Sub - sections B., C., and D. include additional description to clarify the differences between
remodels, generally the modification of the interior of an existing structure without significant increase to the
structure's square footage; room additions; and residential expansions which include multiple room
additions which add to the structure's total square footage. The four situations in which the
homeowner /developer must acoustically insulate include the following:
A. Paragraph C: When the value of a residential remodel reaches 75% of the assessed value of the
existing home the homeowner /developer must acoustically insulate (The homeowner /developer may
use the assessed value recorded with the county or a current assessment made by a licensed
property appraiser);
B.. Paragraph D: When a Habitable, Separable, Full room is added which increases the total square
footage of the home;
C. Paragraph E: When the addition is over 500 square feet; and
D. Paragraph E & G: When the addition is to be made to a home that has already been insulated using
public funds.
5. Section 16.42.045, APPLICATION TO NEW BUILDINGS, was not previously addressed although this Chapter
deals with both new and existing projects.
No changes have been made to what used to be Sections 20.58.050 through 20.58.080 aside from changing all
references from 20.58 to 16.42. The addition of acoustic treatment will normally add 3 - 12 % to the cost of the
addition, renovation, or expansion project. The regulations provided in this Chapter pertain specifically to single family
residential units. Chapter 35 of the Uniform Building Code specifies more stringent acoustical mitigation in multi - family
residential construction.
Specifically, to address concerns raised by the Planning Commission regarding the requirement that remodels that
are 75% or greater in cost of the existing assessed value of the residence will require insulation, the following are the
two goals and associated methodologies used in the development of this Code:
1. Goal: Reduce health risks, improve the quality of life of residents and prevent the degradation of
housing stock within the higher LAX noise impact contours, those above 70dB.
Methodology: Establish Municipal Code requirements, for single family housing stock within the 70dB CNEL
noise contour, that include acoustically upgrading existing stock as it is modified and require
new stock to include acoustic mitigation features. This is the same approach used by all
jurisdictions to provide improved energy conservation, fire and earthquake safety features
and health protection through improved Building, Electrical and Plumbing Codes. (The
Uniform Building Code has already established more stringent acoustic requirements for
multi - family residential construction than what we are recommending for single family
construction here). This is also consistent with the zoning provisions which require that any
new construction meet current codes, and when old structures are voluntarily removed, they
lose their non - conforming status.

GPA/ZTA/ZC
City Council Staff Report
August 19, 1997
2. Goal: Achieve a balance between the demand for acoustic insulation in single family residential
construction and the fiscal impact on families.
Methodology: The predicted 65dB CNEL contour for the year 2000 falls close to the existing 70dB CNEL
noise contour. By using the year 2000 noise contours we are able to exempt all residents
living in lesser impacted homes, essentially those in the current 65 - 70dB noise contour.
Further, only significant residential modifications require acoustic insulation, including the
following:
A. Habitable room additions that can and would normally be separable from the rest of
the house by use of a door.
B. Large scale modifications such as a complete remodel of the interior of an existing
structure, the addition of multiple rooms in a new wing, or a second story addition.
Modifications to existing residences which exceed 75% of the value of the existing
home are defined as "large scale ".
C. Any addition of greater than 500 square feet.
D. New construction.
E. Any modification or addition to a home that has been acoustically treated through a
program funded in part or in whole by the public.
As an example of how these regulations would apply, there are very few homes in El Segundo which have fire
insurance policies for less than $75,000, the cost of replacement of the structure. The proposed 75% rule would
mandate that someone remodeling or expanding an existing residence valued at $75,000 insulate the entire structure
acoustically, if the value of that remodel or expansion is equal to or greater than $56,250. A typical 698 square foot
expansion costs $56,250 according to the City's Building Valuation Guide. The cost of insulating such a 'large scale"
improvement is approximately 6% of the total value of the construction. In the example given, typical acoustic
insulation would cost approximately $3,375. The acoustic treatment would consist, at a minimum, of double paned
windows, solid core exterior doors, and attic insulation.
The Commission questioned how acoustic improvements through the Residential Sound Insulation Program would
be coordinated with any other improvements a homeowner may wish to make on their residence. Residential sound
insulation is typically completed in two days for homes in the 65 dB noise contour and 5 -10 days for homes in the 70
dB contour. Homeowner projects must be done after completion of post - acoustical measurements for the Residential
Sound Insulation program in order to guarantee the integrity of that specific work product. On May 22, 1997, the
Planning Commission recommended to the City Council approval of the revisions to the Sound Transmission Control
Regulations.
6. Storm Water Management - Incorporate Public Works Storm Water Permit Management Policies into
the Land Use and Conservation Elements of the General Plan (GPA).
On July 15, 1996, the Regional Water Quality Control Board - Los Angeles (RWQCB -LA) approved a Waste Discharge
Requirements and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WDR- NPDES) Storm Water Permit. This Los
Angeles County Municipal Storm Water Permit (Order No. 96 -054, NPDES No. CA5614001), which the City of El
Segundo is subject to, requires that jurisdiction incorporate watershed and storm water management considerations
in the appropriate Elements of the General Plan. Part III A.3.b of the Permit states that the provisions must be
included when the Elements are significantly rewritten. Although no guidance is provided to define "significantly
rewritten ", Staff felt it was appropriate to provide the revisions as part of the Quarterly General Plan Amendments
which the City is processing. The Permit states that the Elements to be revised may include, Conservation, Open
Space, Land Use, Public Utilities, Infrastructure or other appropriate Elements. Again, the permit provides no guidance
on what other Elements may be appropriate to revise. Staff believes it would be appropriate to incorporate new
policies into the Land Use and Conservation Elements. The proposed policies state as follows: 1) The City shall
establish policies and procedures for watershed and storm water management (Land Use Policy LU7 -1.8); and 2) The
City shall establish policies and procedures for watershed and storm water management (Conservation Element Policy

CN1 -4). On April 24, 1997, the Planning Commission discussed the provisions to incorporate Storm Water
Management policies into new General Plan Policies and agreed with Staff's recommendation.
7. Garage Streetside Setbacks - Revisions to provide a minimum street side yard setback of 20 feet for
garages in R -1 and R -2 Zones are not recommended. (ZTA).
Recently, the City Council (as initiated by Councilwoman Friedkin) expressed concerns regarding the required
streetside setback for garages. The concern centered around the minimum five (5) foot streetside setback, which
creates an inadequate driveway parking space. Vehicles parking in these areas may straddle and block the sidewalk
and possibly extend into the public street. This creates a potentially dangerous and inconvenient situation for
pedestrians, as well as vehicles. Although all new residences must provide a minimum two (2) car, 18 -20 feet wide
and 20 feet deep, fully enclosed garage space, plus one (1) additional space if the dwelling unit exceeds 3,000 square
feet in area, there are may legal non - conforming dwelling units in the City which do not meet these standards.
Driveway areas are often used as "over -flow" off - street parking to accommodate these non - conforming situations, as
well as parking for visitors and convenient parking for the occupants of the dwelling. In order to address the Council's
concern a minimum 20 foot setback from the property line, to accommodate a vehicle without impacting the sidewalk
or street, was discussed by the Council.
This revision could have several impacts on the design of new residences on narrow lots (less that 45 feet in width).
Attached garages with streetside access could not be accommodated, since a width of a 20 foot setback and 20 foot
deep garage, the minimum 5 foot wide side setback would not be provided. The options in this situation would include
a Variance or the garage could be constructed at the front of the lot. Additionally, with a 20 foot streetside setback
a large portion of the rear yard area would be lost. This area would instead become a driveway facing the street.
Detached garages with streetside access could be accommodated on lots which are 40 feet or greater in width, as
the Zoning Code allows detached accessory structures to maintain zero setback on one interior side property line.
The Multi- family Residential (R -3) Zone, Section 20.24.060 D.1., requires a 20 foot setback for parking garages or
covered spaces which face a street. Similar language could be required for the Single- family residential (R -1) and the
Two - family Residential (R -2) Zones.
On April 24, 1997, the majority of the Planning Commission did not recommend a 20 foot street side yard setback for
garages in the R -1 and R -2 Zones. They felt the visual impact of increased driveway areas adjacent to the public street
would be negative. They were also concerned that rear yards would be decreased dramatically in size. Additionally,
they stated that corner lots typically have 2 to 3 times the amount of on- street parking of interior lots and this could
easily accommodate any "overflow" parking requirements. The Commission did request additional information from
Staff regarding the legality of parking vehicles on a sidewalk or blocking a driveway. Staff consulted with the Traffic
Division of the Police Department who indicated that parking a vehicle in front of a driveway or on a sidewalk is a
violation of Sections 22500 e. and f., respectively, of the California Vehicle Code which the Police Department is
authorized to enforce. However, the Police Department did indicate that they generally only enforce these Code
sections on a complaint basis and there historically has not been a problem with violations in the R -1 and R -2 Zones,
although ongoing problems have occurred with multi - family units on Grand and Franklin Avenues.
8. Thrifty - Change land use designation and zoning for a portion of Thrifty and adjacent property at
southeast corner of Standard Street/Grand Avenue from Smoky Hollow Mixed - Use /Small Business
(SB) to Downtown Commercial (C -RS). (GPA & ZC).
Staff requested this change to the General Plan Land Use Designation for a 0.653 acre portion of the Thrifty Drug
Store property at 220 East Grand Avenue (located at the southeast corner of Grand Avenue and Standard Street), and
for the 0.172 acre Stick & Stein /Laundromat property at 202 and 210 East Grand Avenue (which is adjacent to the
Thrifty Drug Store commercial center), from Smoky Hollow Mixed -Use to Downtown Commercial and the Zoning
classification from Small Business (SB) to Downtown Commercial (C -RS).
Currently, the 1.54 acre Thrifty Drug Store commercial center property has two General Plan Land Use and two Zoning
designations. The northern 0.89 acre portion of the property has a Land Use and Zoning designation of Downtown
Commercial (C -RS) and the remaining 0.653 acres to the south has a Land Use and Zoning designation of Smoky
Hollow Mixed -Use and Small Business, respectively. The Thrifty Drug Store building itself is in the two different land
use Designations. The property at 202/210 East Grand Avenue (Stick & Stein/Laundromat), which is a separate parcel

but shares the same parking lot with the Thrifty Drug Store, has a Land Use and Zoning Designation of Smoky Hollow
Mixed Use and Small Business, respectively. However, there is no record of there being a recorded parking covenant
or joint use parking agreement in place.
Section 20.31.020, (C -RS) of the El Segundo Municipal Code, currently permits retail uses providing sales and
services, financial institutions, billiard -pool rooms and bowling alleys, clubs, governmental buildings, general offices,
medical - dental offices, restaurants, coffee shops, delicatessens and cafes, schools, theaters, union offices, and halls.
Section 20.42.020 (SB) of the El Segundo Municipal Code currently permits manufacturing, light industrial uses,
general offices up to 15,000 square feet per site (in conjunction with industrial activities such as engineering,
warehousing and distribution), automobile service uses, restaurants, coffee shops and cafes, public facilities and
utilities, general offices (up to 40% in conjunction with any other permitted use) and research and development.
The current land uses for these properties are retail, restaurant, and retail service which is consistent with the
proposed Downtown Commercial Land Use Designation and C -RS Zone, with the exception that the Stick & Stein
Saloon, has a City permit for Entertainment and Dancing; and, the C -RS Zone specifically precludes dancing and
entertainment (Section 20.31.020 H.). Therefore, the Stick & Stein Saloon would be a legal non - conforming use since
they have an Entertainment Permit in the C -RS Zone. The SB Zone does not have such a specific exclusion for
entertainment.
The proposed change in Land Use Designation and Zoning for the two properties would increase the permitted Floor
Area Ratio (FAR) for each site. The Smoky Hollow Mixed Use Land Use designation permits a maximum FAR of 0.6,
but the Downtown Commercial Land Use designation permits a maximum FAR of 1.0. The Thrifty Drug Store and
Stick & Stein/Laundromatcurrently have FAR's 0.26 and 0.84, respectively. However, due to the parking requirements
for both retail and restaurant uses, it is not likely that the increase in permitted FAR through the redesignation of the
two properties will result in additional development on the properties. The redesignation would also permit the
development of up to 10 residential unit, pursuant to Section 20.31.030 of the Zoning Code which allows residential
units above commercial development in the C -RS zone. Staff does not believe additional dwelling units would be
developed on the properties in question due to the layout of the buildings and the parking requirements.
The proposed change would be consistent with the actual land uses of the properties and the land uses, Land Use
designations and Zoning of surrounding properties, which are: commercial services and restaurants to the west (C -RS
Zone); a gas station to the east (C -2 Zone); multiple family residential units and retail and services to the north (R -3
and C -RS Zones), and a restaurant, multiple family residential uses (non- conforming), and industrial uses to the south
(SB Zone). Additionally, the layout of the property is oriented toward Grand Avenue and Standard Street and the Grand
Plaza Shopping Center on the west side of Standard Street, which is zoned C -RS. On May 22, 1997, the consensus
of the Planning Commission was to concur with Staffs recommendation to redesignate the Thrifty Drug Store and Stick
& SteirvLaundromatfrom Smoky Hollow Mixed -Use to Downtown Commercial in the General Plan and Zoning Code.
9. Drive - thru's - Adopt a new policy in the General Plan to establish regulations for drive -thru restaurants
to minimize impacts to residential uses. (GPA)
The consensus of the Planning Commission with the First Quarter Amendment was to adopt a new General Plan Land
Use Policy, Policy LU-1 -5.9, which states "Develop standard to address the potential impacts of drive -thru restaurants
on residential uses." As previously discussed, the Zone Text Amendment for drive - thru's will be reviewed with the First
Quarter Amendments at tonight's meeting, however this General Plan Amendment (GPA) is included with the Second
Quarter Items in order to avoid using another one of the four CPA's allowed per year.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An Initial Study /Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is required to evaluate the potential impacts which may
be caused by the proposed regulations. Since a Negative Declaration requires a minimum 20 -day public notice and
circulation period, based on the direction and recommendations from the Planning Commission on the General Plan
and Zone Text Amendments and the Zone Map changes, the City proceeded with the required environmental review
process for the proposed Amendments, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City
Council Resolution No. 3805, after the Planning Commission adopted the Resolution with their recommendations. The
Draft Initial Study/ Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for EA -408 was circulated for the 20 day public and
agency review period from July 17th to August 4th, 1997, and no comments have been received on the document.

LAND USE ELEMENT
Proposed Land Use Plan
The following is a discussion of the 1992 Land Use Plan, which indicates future land uses for the
entire City. For ease of discussion, the City is divided into four quadrants and the proposed land use
designations within that quadrant are discussed. To know what is allowed under each designation,
please reference the land use definitions listed above.
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 2,0A 5-,6b4. 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 301 -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 corner 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.

HOUSING ELEMENT
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 majority. 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 earning 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 during 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
bring the City population to approximately 18,160 persons, thus requiring 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 7,674 7-,664 units. This figure includes vacant residential land and
underdeveloped land (property with less than 50 percent of its allowable density), which creates a
net increase of 4344 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 4$4 474 units to a total buildout of 7.674 9;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 1,b74 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 1988 Regional Housing Needs Assessment
(RHNA) projection of 1,148 additional units by 1994.

SECTION 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The following General Plan Amendments, Zone Text Amendments and Zone Changes are proposed Citywide:
1. SHSP Parkina - Revise 10% parking reduction in Smoky Hollow Zones (ZTA).
The current provisions in the parking section of the Zoning Code (Section 20.54.030 B., Page 246) allow the
Planning Commission to approve a maximum 10% parking reduction for properties located in Smoky Hollow
(SB, MM, GAC and MDR Zones). Other existing provisions (Section 20.54.030, B., Page 246) allow the
Planning Commission to modify the required number of parking spaces in arly zone, based on the submittal
of a Parking Demand Study. In order to provide equity and consistency for all properties in all zones, the
provisions which allow the 10% maximum parking reduction in Smoky Hollow are proposed to be eliminated.
Instead the existing provisions which allow the parking space modification with submittal of a Parking Demand
Study are proposed to apply to all zones, including Smoky Hollow.
2. Parking Covenant - Revise off -site parking covenant requirements to provide a maximum time
limit for the covenant (ZTA).
The City Attorney has requested revisions to the Off -Site Covenant requirements in order to provide a time
limit for the Covenant. Under Section 20.54.080 of the Zoning code, property owners may enter into joint use
and off -site parking facilities agreements under certain situations. These agreements are then recorded as
covenant against the property. The proposed revisions to this section would make several minor changes.
First, the new language added to subsection B would make it clear that the covenant created by the
agreement would terminate no later than ninety years after the agreement becomes effective. Under the rule
of perpetuities, certain covenants and agreements are invalid unless they terminate either within ninety years
after they are created of within twenty -one years after the death of a person alive when the covenant or
agreement was first created. By making this revision, the agreements to be created pursuant to Section
20.54.080 would not be held invalid based on the rule against perpetuities.
Second, the change in subsection A clarifies that the covenant created by the joint use and off -site parking
facilities agreement must be recorded prior to issuance of any building permits or the beginning of the use,
which ever occurs first. Third, the second change to subsection A clarifies that the City Attorney may also
require that certain conditions and provisions be included in a joint use or off -site parking facilities agreement.
3. Storm Water - Incorporate Public Works Storm Water Permit Management Policies (GPA).
On July 15, 1996 the Regional Water Quality Control Board - Los Angeles (RWQCB -LA) approved a Waste
Discharge Requirements and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WDR- NPDES) Storm Water
Permit. This Los Angeles County Municipal Storm Water Permit (Order No. 96 -054, NPDES No. CA5614001),
which the City of El Segundo is subject to, requires that jurisdiction incorporate watershed and storm water
management considerations in the appropriate Elements of the General Plan. Part III A.3.b of the permit
states that the provisions must be included when the Elements are significantly rewritten. Although no
guidance is provided to define "significantly rewritten ", Staff felt it was appropriate to provide the revisions as
part of the Quarterly General Plan Amendments which the City is processing. The permit states that the
Elements to be revised may include, Conservation, Open Space, Land Use, Public Utilities, Infrastructure or
other appropriate Elements. Again, the permit provides no guidance on what other Elements may be
appropriate to revise. Staff believes it would be appropriate to incorporate new policies into the Land Use and
Conservation Elements. The proposed policies state as follows: 1) The City shall establish policies and
procedures for watershed and storm water management (Land Use Policy LU7 -1.8); and 2) The City shall
establish policies and procedures for watershed and storm water management (Conservation Element Policy
CN 1 -4).

4. Outdoor Dining Access - Create standard for pedestrian access for outdoor dining in private
walkways (ZTA).
On August 17, 1996, the City Council adopted a Zone Text Amendment which included revisions to the
requirements for outdoor dining. As a result, the Zoning Code now requires a Conditional Use Permit for
outdoor dining when the outdoor dining area exceeds 200 square feet or 20% of the indoor dining area of a
restaurant. Outdoor dining areas below the size threshold are considered a permitted use. Through the
Conditional Use Permit process, larger outdoor dining facilities can be reviewed and conditions placed which
require pedestrian access around the outdoor dining areas to be protected. Without requirements in the
Zoning Code for the smaller permitted outdoor dining areas, it is difficult to ensure safe pedestrian access is
maintained around these outdoor dining areas.
Therefore, Planning Staff have proposed modifications to the Zoning Code to introduce minimum
requirements to ensure adequate access around outdoor dining areas. Staff proposes to use the standard
in Title 24, the California handicap accessibility standards and the Uniform Building Code (UBC), to insure that
a minimum 48 -inch wide pathway is maintain around an outdoor dining area. This is particularly important
when existing restaurants are in a strip mall, which would typically have a walkway between the shop front and
the parking lot, request to place a small seating area in front of their establishment. A minimum 48 -inch
walkway width will ensure that pedestrians will be able to travel safely along the walkway and not be forced
to walk in the parking lot to get around an outdoor seating area.
The Public Works Department has recently approved several outdoor seating areas which encroach into the
public right -of -way (eg, Stuft Pizza and Scoops Ice Cream). The business owners entered into agreements
with the City to operate the outdoor seating under specific conditions. These conditions include maintaining
six (6) foot wide clear sidewalk for pedestrian use, and other conditions to ensure the outdoor seating areas
are operated in a safe and clean manner. Planning Staff has developed two different approaches to ensure
pedestrian accessibility around outdoor dining areas. The first of these is to just include the minimum
pedestrian walkway width into the site development standards of each zone in which outdoor dining is
permitted. This approach would not impose any other requirements on operating an outdoor dining area. The
second approach is to incorporate many of the conditions placed on outdoor dining areas which encroach into
the public right -of -way, into the Zoning Code to be used as general standards for outdoor dining areas on
private property. Several of these condition do just simply reiterate other City requirements and serve as
notices to the business operator, such as requiring amplified sound permits and City approval to sell alcohol.
These are required even if they were not to be listed in this new section of the Zoning Code. However, the City
is considering these requirements in addition to the accessibility standards.to ensure outdoor dining areas are
operated and maintained in a responsible manner.
5. Sound Transmission Control - Move Sound Transmission Control regulations to Title 16 of
the El Segundo Municipal Code and revise standards (ZTA).
Several changes are proposed for Chapter 20.58 of the Zoning Code, at the suggestion of City Staff, including
relocating it from Title 20, the Zoning Code, to Title 16, the Buildings and Structures Code. The regulations
contained pertain to the specifics of residential construction more than to the broader guidance of the Zoning
Code, and Sound Transmission Control is enforced by the City's Building Safety Division (which enforces Title
16), not the Planning Division (which enforces Title 20). The following outlines the proposed revisions.
1. Section 16.42.010 PURPOSE has been expanded to include that the objective of residential
insulation, where required, is to achieve an interior noise level of 45dB or lower.
2. Section 16.42.015 DEFINITIONS was added to provide definitions for the acoustic terms, since the
absence of these definitions have caused some confusion to users. Most of these definitions are
currently included in the Zoning Code and they have been updated. Two new definitions are added
to emphasize the differences between Expansions (definition 3.) and Remodels (definition 5).
3
Paragraph D of Section 16.42.020, SCOPE, has been expanded to explain why the Noise Contour
Map of the City uses Year 2000 predicted contours, rather than past or present contours. Emphasis
on the Code's use of the predicted noise contours for the year 2000 as the boundary for applicability
of the Sound Transmission Control Code is made here and elsewhere. It should be noted that if the
predicted contour is accurate there will be a reduction of approximately 45% in the number of El
Segundo residences currently within the LAX noise impact area.
4. Section 16.42.040, APPLICATION TO EXISTING BUILDINGS, has been modified with bold titles to
make use of the Chapter easier. The sub - sections of this Section have been reorganized to provide
a smoother flow of concepts. Following sub - section A., the parameters which mandate acoustic
insulation are provided followed by descriptions of those conditions which exempt residential
construction from being insulated. The Section has also been expanded to include the four situations
wherein acoustic insulation would be mandatory in El Segundo. Sub - sections B., C., and D. include
additional description to clarify the differences between remodels, generally the modification of the
interior of an existing structure without significant increase to the structure's square footage; room
additions; and residential expansions which include multiple room additions which add to the
structure's total square footage. The four situations in which the homeowner /developer must
acoustically insulate include the following:
A. Paragraph C: When the value of a residential remodel reaches 75% of the assessed value
of the existing home the homeowner /developer must acoustically insulate (The
homeowner /developer may use the assessed value recorded with the county or a current
assessment made by a licensed property appraiser);
B.. Paragraph D: When a Habitable, Separable, Full room is added which increases the total
square footage of the home;
C. Paragraph E: When the addition is over 500 square feet; and
D. Paragraph E & G: When the addition is to be made to a home that has already been
insulated using public funds.
5. Section 16.42.045, APPLICATION TO NEW BUILDINGS, was not previously addressed although this
Chapter deals with both new and existing projects.
No changes have been made to what used to be Sections 20.58.050 through 20.58.080 aside from changing
all references from 20.58 to 16.42. The addition of acoustic treatment will normally add 3 - 12 % to the cost
of the addition, renovation, or expansion project. The regulations provided in this Chapter pertain specifically
to single family residential units. Chapter 35 of the Uniform Building Code specifies more stringent acoustical
mitigation in multi - family residential construction.
Specifically, to address concerns regarding the requirement that remodels that are 75% or greater in cost of
the existing assessed value of the residence will require insulation, the following are the two goals and
associated methodologies used in the development of this Code:
1. Goal: Reduce health risks, improve the quality of life of residents and prevent the
degradation of housing stock within the higher LAX noise impact contours, those
above 70dB.
Methodology: Establish Municipal Code requirements, for single family housing stock within the
70dB CNEL noise contour, that include acoustically upgrading existing stock as it is
modified and require new stock to include acoustic mitigation features. This is the
same approach used by all jurisdictions to provide improved energy conservation,
fire and earthquake safety features and health protection through improved Building,
4
0 071
Electrical and Plumbing Codes. (The Uniform Building Code has already established
more stringent acoustic requirements for multi - family residential construction than
what we are recommending for single family construction here). This is also
consistent with the zoning provisions which require that any new construction meet
current codes, and when old structures are voluntarily removed, they lose their non-
conforming status.
Goal: Achieve a balance between the demand for acoustic insulation in single family
residential construction and the fiscal impact on families.
Methodology: The predicted 65dB CNEL contour for the year 2000 falls close to the existing 70dB
CNEL noise contour. By using the year 2000 noise contours we are able to exempt
all residents living in lesser impacted homes, essentially those in the current 65 -
70dB noise contour. Further, only significant residential modifications require
acoustic insulation, including the following:
A. Habitable room additions that can and would normally be separable from the
rest of the house by use of a door.
B. Large scale modifications such as a complete remodel of the interior of an
existing structure, the addition of multiple rooms in a new wing, or a second
story addition. Modifications to existing residences which exceed 75% of
the value of the existing home are defined as "large scale ".
C. Any addition of greater than 500 square feet.
D. New construction.
E. Any modification or addition to a home that has been acoustically treated
through a program funded in part or in whole by the public.
As an example of how these regulations would apply, there are very few homes in El Segundo which have
fire insurance policies for less than $75,000, the cost of replacement of the structure. The proposed 75% rule
would mandate that someone remodeling or expanding an existing residence valued at $75,000 insulate the
entire structure acoustically, if the value of that remodel or expansion is equal to or greater than $56,250. A
typical 698 square foot expansion costs $56,250 according to the City's Building Valuation Guide. The cost
of insulating such a "large scale" improvement is approximately 6% of the total value of the construction. In
the example given, typical acoustic insulation would cost approximately $3,375. The acoustic treatment would
consist, at a minimum, of double paned windows, solid core exterior doors, and attic insulation.
Acoustic improvements through the Residential Sound Insulation Program can be coordinated with any other
improvements a homeowner may wish to make on their residence. Residential sound insulation is typically
completed in two days for homes in the 65 dB noise contour and 5 -10 days for homes in the 70 dB contour.
Homeowner projects must be done after completion of post - acoustical measurements for the Residential
Sound Insulation program in order to guarantee the integrity of that specific work product.
6. Parking Demand Studies - Revise requirements for Parking Demand Studies (ZTA).
On December 17, 1997, the City Council authorized Staff to proceed with amendments to the Zoning Code
in order to revise the provisions of the Zoning Code related to Parking Demand Studies. The Planning
Commission has already reviewed a portion of the regulations regarding the maximum parking reduction
which may be granted in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area. The Commission as part of the first quarter
Zone Text Amendments recommended to the City Council that the 10% maximum reduction in required
5
0 n?2
parking which could be granted in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area, with the approval of a Parking
Demand Study by the Planning Commission, be eliminated.
The current standard for the rest of the City (Section 20.54.030 B.) allows the Planning Commission to modify
the required number of parking spaces based on the submittal of a Parking Demand Study. There is no limit
on the percentage reduction, that can be granted by the Planning Commission. Therefore it is up to the
Planning Commissions judgement to determine if a modification is appropriate and the size of the reduction.
In fact, a Parking Demand Study could conclude that increased parking over Code requirements should be
provided and the Planning Commission also has the authority to use this Code section to require that
additional parking be provided. Additionally, for any use for which there is no established number of required
spaces in the Zoning Code, the Director of Planning and Building Safety or the Planning Commission can
require a Parking Demand Study to specify what the required parking should be for a particular use.
The purpose of allowing the submission of a Parking Demand Study is to give a prospective developer or
business the opportunity to prove that their particular business operation does not need the number of parking
spaces required by code and that they should be permitted to provide some lesser number of spaces;
although as mentioned above, a greater number may be required. An example of this is when Instorage, a
mini - warehouse at 1017 East El Segundo Boulevard, applied for a variance to rent a portion of their required
parking for long term vehicle storage. A Parking Demand Study concluded only a fraction of the required
number of spaces were necessary to serve the employees and patrons of the facility. Based on the Study, the
Planning Commission granted the Variance.
One concern raised by the City Council (Liam Weston) about allowing Parking Demand Studies is that the City
has developed a number of uses for which the required number of parking spaces is established. Developers
and businesses should simply comply with the required parking regulations and not be able to reduce that
number. Another implication of allowing reduced parking through a Parking Demand Study, discussed by the
City Council, is the potential for a new tenant to occupy a building which may have less than sufficient parking
for that new use because the building was constructed with less than the number of parking spaces required
by code based on an approved Parking Demand Study for the original tenant.
Planning Staff has researched the requirements for several other Cities in the South Bay and found that the
Cities of Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach have provisions for using Parking Demand Studies to reduce
the number of required parking spaces. The City of Long Beach has a provision for establishing the required
parking for uses not specified in the Zoning Code using a Parking Demand Study; while the City of Torrance
has a default rate of approximately one space for every 152 square feet of building area for any use not
specifically listed in their Zoning Code.
The City may choose to expand upon the current requirements for preparation of a Parking Demand Study
as other Cities have done, but these requirements may not be appropriate in all cases. For very small
businesses with a limited number of employees and visitors, a Parking Demand Study prepared by licensed
Traffic Engineer may be overly onerous and unnecessary. In these cases, a count of actual parking spaces
utilized, or anticipated to be utilized, based on the company's business operations, could be sufficient to
determine parking demand.
7. Garage Streetside Setbacks - Revisions to provide a minimum street side yard setback of 20
feet for garages in R -1 and R -2 Zones (ZTA).
Recently, the City Council (as initiated by Councilwoman Friedkin) expressed concerns regarding the required
streetside setback for garages. The concern centered around the minimum five (5) foot streetside setback,
which creates an inadequate driveway parking space. Vehicles parking in these areas may straddle and block
the sidewalk and possibly extend into the public street. This creates a potentially dangerous and inconvenient
situation for pedestrians, as well as vehicles. Although all new residences must provide a minimum two (2)
car, 18 -20 feet wide and 20 feet deep, fully enclosed garage space, plus one (1) additional space if the
dwelling unit exceeds 3,000 square feet in area, there are may legal non - conforming dwelling units in the City
A
0 073
which do not meet these standards. Driveway areas are often used as "over- flow" off - street parking to
accommodate these non - conforming situations, as well as parking for visitors and convenient parking for the
occupants of the dwelling. In order to address the Council's concern a minimum 20 foot setback from the
property line, to accommodate a vehicle without impacting the sidewalk or street, was discussed by the
Council.
This revision could have several impacts on the design of new residences on narrow lots (less that 45 feet
in width). Attached garages with streetside access could not be accommodated, since a width of a 20 foot
setback and 20 foot deep garage, the minimum 5 foot wide side setback would not be provided. The options
in this situation would include a Variance or the garage could be constructed at the front of the lot.
Additionally, with a 20 foot streetside setback a large portion of the rear yard area would be lost. This area
would instead become a driveway facing the street. Detached garages with streetside access could be
accommodated on lots which are 40 feet or greater in width, as the Zoning Code allows detached accessory
structures to maintain zero setback on one interior side property line.
The Multi- family Residential (R -3) Zone, Section 20.24.060 D.1., requires a 20 foot setback for parking
garages or covered spaces which face a street. Similar language could be required for the Single- family
residential (R -1) Zone and the Two - family Residential (R -2) Zone.
8. Thrifty - Change land use designation and zoning for a portion of Thrifty and adjacent property
at southeast corner of Standard Street/Grand Avenue from Smoky Hollow Mixed - Use /Small
Business (SB) to Downtown Commercial (C -RS). (GPA & ZC).
Staff requested this change to the General Plan Land Use Designation for a 0.653 acre portion of the Thrifty
Drug Store property at 220 East Grand Avenue (located at the southeast corner of Grand Avenue and
Standard Street), and for the 0.172 acre Stick & Stein /Laundromat property at 202 and 210 East Grand
Avenue (which is adjacent to the Thrifty Drug Store commercial center), from Smoky Hollow Mixed -Use to
Downtown Commercial and the Zoning classification from Small Business (SB) to Downtown Commercial (C-
RS).
Currently, the 1.54 acre Thrifty Drug Store commercial center property has two General Plan Land Use and
two Zoning designations. The northern 0.89 acre portion of the property has a Land Use and Zoning
designation of Downtown Commercial (C -RS) and the remaining 0.653 acres to the south has a Land Use
and Zoning designation of Smoky Hollow Mixed -Use and Small Business, respectively. The Thrifty Drug Store
building itself is in the two different land use Designations. The property at 202/210 East Grand Avenue (Stick
& SteirVLaundromao, which is a separate parcel but shares the same parking lot with the Thrifty Drug Store,
has a Land Use and Zoning Designation of Smoky Hollow Mixed Use and Small Business, respectively.
However, there is no record of there being a recorded parking covenant or joint use parking agreement in
place.
Section 20.31.020, (C -RS) of the El Segundo Municipal Code, currently permits retail uses providing sales
and services, financial institutions, billiard -pool rooms and bowling alleys, clubs, governmental buildings,
general offices, medical - dental offices, restaurants, coffee shops, delicatessens and cafes, schools, theaters,
union offices, and halls. Section 20.42.020 (SB) of the El Segundo Municipal Code currently permits
manufacturing, light industrial uses, general offices up to 15,000 square feet per site (in conjunction with
industrial activities such as engineering, warehousing and distribution), automobile service uses, restaurants,
coffee shops and cafes, public facilities and utilities, general offices (up to 40% in conjunction with any other
permitted use) and research and development.
The current land uses for these properties are retail, restaurant, and retail service which is consistent with the
proposed Downtown Commercial Land Use Designation and C -RS Zone, with the exception that the Stick &
Stein Saloon, has a City permit for Entertainment and Dancing; and, the C -RS Zone specifically precludes
dancing and entertainment (Section 20.31.020 H.). Therefore, the Stick & Stein Saloon would be a legal non-
7
0 074
conforming use since they have an Entertainment Permit in the C -RS Zone. The SB Zone does not have such
a specific exclusion for entertainment.
The proposed change in Land Use Designation and Zoning for the two properties would increase the
permitted Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for each site. The Smoky Hollow Mixed Use Land Use designation permits
a maximum FAR of 0.6, but the Downtown Commercial Land Use designation permits a maximum FAR of
1.0. The Thrifty Drug Store and Stick & Stein/Laundromat currently have FAR's 0.26 and 0.84, respectively.
However, due to the parking requirements for both retail and restaurant uses, it is not likely that the increase
in permitted FAR through the redesignation of the two properties will result in additional development on the
properties. The redesignation would also permit the development of up to 10 residential unit, pursuant to
Section 20.31.030 of the Zoning Code which allows residential units above commercial development in the
C -RS zone. Staff does not believe additional dwelling units would be developed on the properties in question
due to the layout of the buildings and the parking requirements.
The proposed change would be consistent with the actual land uses of the properties and the land uses, Land
Use designations and Zoning of surrounding properties, which are: commercial services and restaurants to
the west (C -RS Zone); a gas station to the east (C -2 Zone); multiple family residential units and retail and
services to the north (R -3 and C -RS Zones), and a restaurant, multiple family residential uses (non-
conforming), and industrial uses to the south (SB Zone). Additionally, the layout of the property is oriented
toward Grand Avenue and Standard Street and the Grand Plaza Shopping Center on the west side of
Standard Street, which is zoned C -RS.
SECTION 2.0 DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The City of El Segundo is located in the Los Angeles urban area and is considered part of the Airport/South
Bay subregion at the southwestern edge of the Los Angeles coastal basin. Downtown Los Angeles is about
20 freeway miles northeast of El Segundo. The City itself is 5.46 square miles (3,494.4 acres), with a resident
population, per 1995 estimates, of 15,853 people, with a total of 7,190 dwelling units, and a considerably larger
daytime (employee) population of approximately 56,000.
Immediately to the north is Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in the City of Los Angeles. The Los
Angeles residential areas of Playa del Rey and Westchester are located just northerly of the Airport. To the
east is Del Aire, which is an island of Los Angeles County, as well as the City of Hawthorne. Both areas are
predominantly residential. Some commercial uses in the City of Hawthorne line Aviation Boulevard. The City
of Manhattan Beach is directly south of El Segundo. The Chevron Refinery is located in the southern portion
of El Segundo, between the City's residential areas and the City of Manhattan Beach. To the west of El
Segundo is the Pacific Ocean. A majority of the coastline is owned by the City of Los Angeles, which operates
two facilities within this area: the Hyperion Sewage Treatment Plant, currently undergoing an expansion, and
the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Scattergood Generating Station. A small portion of the
coastline, 0.8 miles, is within the El Segundo City limits. The Southern California Edison Generating Station
and a coastal portion of the Chevron Refinery are located along this portion of the shoreline. The beach area
is publicly owned and accessible.
The City of El Segundo has a very strong residential base, which is a mixture of single - family, two - family, and
multi - family residential. A majority of the residential area is in single - family use; however, according to the
1990 Census, over one -half of the population lived in multi - family units. Almost 66 percent of all residential
acreage, and almost 77 percent of the area located west of Sepulveda Boulevard and north of El Segundo
Boulevard, is in single - family use. Total acreage is about 687, or nearly 15 percent of the City. However,
single - family units account for only 47 percent of the housing units in the City. The two - family residential
category accounts for only 25 acres, or less than one percent of land in the City. Typical densities are 10 to
17 units per acre. Nearly one -third of all R -2 zoned sites are in single - family use. Multiple family residential
uses include apartment buildings and condominiums. Land area devoted to multiple family use accounts for
approximately 105 acres, or three percent of the total land area of the City. Densities generally range from
12
0 075
18 to 45 units per acre, in projects up to three and one -half acres. As of 1990, multi - family units comprise 53
percent of all residential units available.
Near the residential area is Downtown, which includes the Civic Center and provides a strong focal point for
the City. Also in this general vicinity is an older industrial area called Smoky Hollow. This area contains
mostly older industrial buildings of one or two stories.
There are neighborhood commercial areas scattered throughout the residential areas to serve the residents
of the City. In addition, there are some commercial uses east of Sepulveda Boulevard, mostly designed for
the daytime employee population. In addition to retail commercial, the City has a growing number of hotel
uses. There are over 1,446 hotel rooms currently available in the City.
The area of the City south of El Segundo Boulevard and west of Sepulveda Boulevard is taken up mostly by
the Chevron Refinery. The Refinery occupies approximately one -third of the City. The portion of the City east
of Sepulveda Boulevard is a combination of industrial, office, and commercial uses. This area contains the
"super block" development, a mixture of office and research and development uses, as well as the U.S. Air
Force Base.
An additional category of land use is public and quasi - public uses. These include the U.S. Air Force Base;
property owned by the City and County, including the City Hall and the Library; as well as the School District
property. Two of the District's school sites are not being used, one is vacant and the other is being leased
to the L.A. Raiders as a training camp. In addition, there is one parochial school and several churches
throughout the City. The City has excellent open space and recreation facilities, which exceed the State
suggested standards. These areas include publicly -owned parks, private parks, a publicly -owned beach area
open for public use, utility rights -of -way that have been used for park and open space areas, and the Chevron -
owned preserve for the El Segundo Blue Butterfly. Other uses not discussed above include railroad rights -of-
way, parking lots, streets and alleys.
The City of El Segundo is served by the existing network of roadways which is essentially a grid system of
north /south and east/west roadways. The primary north /south roadways are Aviation Boulevard, Douglas
Street, Nash Street, Sepulveda Boulevard, Center Street, Main Street, and Vista Del Mar. The primary
east/west streets are Imperial Highway, Imperial Avenue, Maple Avenue, Mariposa Avenue, Grand Avenue,
El Segundo Boulevard, and Rosecrans Avenue.
The six lane Glenn Anderson Freeway (Interstate 105), built along the City's northern boundary adjacent to
Imperial Highway, opened to the public in October 1993. Exits for the freeway are located at Nash Street and
Sepulveda Boulevard with eastbound entrances at Atwood Way off of Douglas Street and Imperial Avenue
off of Sepulveda Boulevard. The freeway terminates at California Street. The San Diego Freeway (Interstate
405) is located on the City's eastern boundary, with entrances and exists off of the 1 -105, El Segundo
Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) immediately north provides for
international air traffic.
The Century-El Segundo Extension Rail Transit Project (the Metro Green Line) opened in August of 1995.
Stations are located at Aviation Boulevard and 116th Street (connecting with the Century Rail Line), Mariposa
Avenue at Nash Street, El Segundo Boulevard at Nash Street, Douglas Street near Alaska Avenue, and
ending at Compton /Marine Boulevard in the City of Redondo Beach. A future station (Del Norte) will be
located near Douglas Street between the Aviation and Mariposa Stations.
SECTION 3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM
Reproduced as Appendix 1 is the City of El Segundo Initial Study and Checklist under the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The purpose of the form is to identify and evaluate potential
adverse environmental impacts. The checklist consists of background information, a checklist of
environmental impacts, and a determination by the lead agency of the project's potential impacts on the
9
' 0 riG
environment and the type of CEQA document that will be prepared. A discussion of the items checked on the
form is located in Section 4.0.
SECTION 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The first three (1 -3) proposed General Plan and Zone Text Amendments are only minor text changes for
consistency with current City Policies, practices and existing conditions, or consistency within the text itself,
or with State Law, and therefore they will have no foreseeable environmental impacts, in any of the categories.
The next amendment (4) will have a less than significant impact related to Land Use, Noise, Hazards, Public
Services and, Aesthetics since the provisions create standards which currently do not exist in order to
minimize potential land use incompatibilities, minimize potential impacts from hazardous materials and noise,
reduce potential impacts to public services and minimize any potential aesthetic impacts.
The next three Amendments (5 -7) simply provide more up -to -date Code language and, as discussed under
the project descriptions, will have no foreseeable environmental impacts in any of the categories. The final
Amendment (8) will have a less than significant impact related to Land Use, Population and Housing, Hazards,
Public Services, Utilities and Service Systems, and Recreation. As discussed in the project description, the
proposed land use and zoning designation is compatible with the uses on the property and compatible with
the surrounding lands uses, thereby minimizing existing land use incompatibilities. As further described in the
previous project descriptions, the proposed Amendments address all potential environmental concerns and
there is a less than significant impact for all of the Amendments due to the provisions which have been
incorporated into the Amendments themselves.
16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The proposed Amendments, as minor Amendments to the General Plan, Zoning Code and Zoning Map do
not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment and will not achieve short -term goals to the
disadvantage of long -term environmental goals. There are no foreseeable negative cumulative impacts or
any impacts that will have an adverse affect on human beings, for the reasons previously detailed.

City Council Staff Report
August 19, 1997
DISCUSSION:
Staff has prepared some background information for the two above reference items to help facilitate the Council's
discussion of the two topics:
1. Architectural Building Features
Section 20.20.060 I. of the El Segundo Zoning Code requires that Architectural Building Features must be included
on new construction to modulate building walls in the Single - Family Residential (R -1 ) Zone, subject to the Approval
of the Director of Planning and Building Safety. Architectural Building Features is defined in Section 20.08.147 as:
"Architectural building feature" means a balcony, column, door, eave, roof, soffit, window or
window trim, shutters or other similar three - dimensional permanent exterior element of a
building or structure that may not create interior floor area, that provides relief from large flat wall
planes, breaks up building wall mass, and lends to the overall form, context and appearance of the
building or structure. (Emphasis added).
This requirement has been in effect since June 18, 1996. Prior to this, new construction was required to provide
"Building Wall Modulation" which required that a building wall plane must be offset by a minimum of 2 feet for every
24 feet of length or height. Architectural Building Features was adopted to be a less restrictive means of accomplishing
the goal of encouraging the break -up of large flat walls and discouraging box -like designs. The rigidity of the Building
Wall Modulation standard was criticized by some for requiring artificial breaks in building walls that sometimes
hindered the design of rooms in houses while not accomplishing the goal of improving variation in wall design.
Architectural Building Features is intended to provide greater flexibility for designers and architects when new
construction is proposed.
Staff has reviewed a number of new houses and additions to existing houses under the new Architectural Building
Feature standard. A number of property owners have expressed concern that there is insufficient guidance in the
definition of Architectural Building Features to know the type or amount of features which should be included in a
design in order to get approval. The relatively subjective nature of this Code requirement has sometimes led to
disagreements between staff and property owners with regard to how designs meet the letter and the intent of the
Architectural Building Features definition. One such disputed portion of the definition is whether or not a window is a
"three- dimensional" (Emphasis added) element on a wall plane. Staff has interpreted the definition to mean that a
window which does not extend out or is not set back from the wall plane does not meet the intent of breaking up flat
wall planes. Also, Staff has interpreted the Code to apply to new construction only. An addition to an existing house
would only have to provide Architectural Building Features to the new area of construction, not to the existing house
even if a new wall is an extension of an existing wall.
There are several different options that Staff has discussed which could help clarify the use of Architectural Building
Features. These include:
1. Revising the standard to provide more direction on what types of features and the number of features which
would meet the intent of the Code to provide three - dimensional permanent exterior elements on a building.
2. Create new threshold standards for when such features are required. An example of this would be when the
size of an - addition is a.certain percentage of the-existing house, or a minimum square footage, or when the
addition is located in a certain portion of the property which might be visible from neighboring properties or
from the street.
3. An Architectural Review Board could be created to review Architectural Building Features. This would transfer
approval of the subjective nature of the standard to a body appointed by the City Council.
Staff requests that the Council provide direction on the appropriate course of action to address the concerns raised
by the Council, Staff, property owners and architects regarding Architectural Building Features.

City Council Staff Report
August 19, 1997
1.
Attached is the Agenda Item Mayor Pro Tern Nancy Wernick placed on the June 17, 1997 City Council agenda for
discussion of Planning Commission appeals and the waiver of appeal fees under certain circumstances. The Agenda
Item requested a discussion of permitting appeal fees to be waived when a petition was received requesting an appeal,
requiring an automatic appeal if the Planning Commission action required the City to enter into a binding agreement,
or requiring an automatic appeal if the Planning Commission action affected a significant portion of the community.
Currently, an appeal fee is required for any member of the public or the applicant to appeal a decision of the Planning
Commission. The appeal fee is based on the type and size of the project which was the subject of the Planning
Commission action. For single - family residential projects with less than 10 units and multi - family projects with less than
6 units the appeal fee is $170.00. The appeal fee is $235.00 for residential projects larger than this and
commercialrndustrial projects less than 15,000 square feet in size. The Appeal fee for commercial /industrial project
larger than 15,000 square feet is $460.00. These appeal fees were established by the City Council in Resolution No.
3617 on December 20, 1989. The City does allow for the refund of the full amount of the appeal fee if the appeal is
successful, thereby overturning a Planning Commission decision.
In an effort to facilitate the discussion of these issues, Staff researched the appeal procedures of seven (7) nearby
cities. A summary of these fees is attached. Briefly, Staff is not aware of any other City which has procedures for
appeals by petition to eliminate the appeal fee, or automatic appeals when the City has to enter a binding agreement
on a project or having the appeal based on the area which is impacted by the project. Three of the survey cities do
allow for refunds of appeals upon a request from the appellant and approval by the Council.
Staff requests that the Council provide direction on any proposed amendments to the Zoning Code or fee structure
related to the discussion of Planning Commission appeals.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 19, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Order of Business -
Public Hearing
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Continued Public Hearing and consideration of a Resolution amending an adopted schedule of fees to
partially cover, but not to exceed, the cost of providing various library services. Fiscal impact: Estimated
increase in annual revenue of $18,000 - $30,000.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Open Continued Public Hearing
2. Discussion

BRIEF SUMMARY: (Continued)
charge for room use. Principal uses (250) were daytime uses for programs by Library Staff and Friends of
the El Segundo Library. Evening uses totaled 163. Ten out of 47 groups using the room have monthly
meetings. These include three youth groups, one local government, three community /civic, and three
special interest groups. Two additional youth groups are beginning to book the room on a monthly basis.
Generally speaking, the only open evening available each month is Monday. Tuesdays through Thursdays
are, for the most part, booked. (Booking may be made two months in advance.)
In sum, at the present time there is no cost recovery for wear and tear of equipment, furniture or fixtures in
the room.
It was also suggested that the El Segundo Unified School District's Facilities Use policy be reviewed
specifically in relation to use by youth, groups. The District has a "Free Use" policy for ... "non - profit
organizations and clubs /associations which promote youth and school activities." "These groups include
Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts... parent - teacher's associations, and school /community advisory councils." This
"Free Use" policy is applied only when an altemative'location is not available. If the group has an alternative
location, but wishes to use school facilities, ... "the district... [may] charge direct costs for such use." Further,
groups charged direct costs for use of school meeting facilities include religious, charitable fund raising for
non - school purposes, and public agencies.
After considering the School District's policy and the concern expressed by a local Boy Scout Troop
representative over proposed meeting room charges at the August 5, 1997 City Council meeting, the Library
Board of Trustees recommended incorporation of exemptions to the Matsui Room fees for local youth
groups, governmental and local non - profit library support organizations. These recommendations have been
incorporated into Exhibit A.
City Council Resolution No. 3911, as amended on March 21, 1995 established that the cost for services of
implementing and processing various Library Services Department Programs would be recovered as set
forth in a Schedule of Fines and Fees. The Proposed Resolution will amend the Schedule of Fines and Fees
to include changes for Matsui International Meeting Room usage fees and to include fees for use of the
public Internet Stations. (See Exhibit A).
Specifically, a) Matsui Meeting Room charges will be a flat fee of $25 /per 3 hours for residents, with a
$10 /hr. charge thereafter; and a flat fee of $50 /per 3 hours for non - residents (at the July 1, 1997 meeting,
it was suggested this amount be increased to $100 /per 3 hours), with a $15 /hr. charge thereafter. Groups
using the room less than 3 hours will be charged a prorated fee on a per hour basis. Local youth groups,
governmental and local non - profit library support organizations are exempted from Matsui meeting room
charges; b) Use of the Public Access Internet Stations will be subject to a $2 /hr. fee; and, c) Use of all
copiers and printers will be subject to a .15 cent per page fee.
The amount of fee is calculated to partially cover, but not to exceed, the cost of providing service, which will
include telecommunications costs for Internet workstations, paper, and meeting room maintenance.
The Library anticipates the estimated amount of revenue received from these amended and new service
fees will be between $18,000 and $30,000 per annum.
The attached proposed Resolution has been reviewed and approved as to form by the City Attorney.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT EA -403 AND ZONE
TEXT AMENDMENT ZTA 96 -3 REGULATING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
FACILITIES. PETITIONED BY THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO.
WHEREAS, on November 5, 1996, the City Council did, pursuant to California Government Code Section
65858, adopt an Interim Zoning Ordinance (IZO) (Ordinance No. 1262) as an urgency measure to impose a forty-five
(45) day moratorium upon the issuance of permits for Wireless Communication Facilities; and,
WHEREAS, on December 17, 1996, the City Council did hold, pursuant to law, a duly advertised public hearing
and extended the Interim Zoning Ordinance (IZO), by adopting Ordinance No. 1266, until November 4, 1997, ten months
and fifteen (15) days from the expiration date on December 20, 1996; and,
WHEREAS, an Environmental Assessment (EA -403), including a Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the Zone Text Amendments, General Plan Amendments, and Zone changes,
has been prepared and circulated to all interested parties, staff, and affected public agencies for review and comment
in the time and manner prescribed by law; and
WHEREAS, on January 9, 1997, the Planning Commission did hold, pursuant to law, a public workshop to
review revisions to the Zoning Code and the General Plan; and,
WHEREAS, on February 13, 1997, the Planning Commission did hold, pursuant to law, a duly advertised public
hearing on amendments to the Zoning Code and City's General Plan, and notice was given to the time, form and manner
prescribed by law; and,
WHEREAS, on February 27, March 6, and 27, and April 10, and 24, 1997, the Planning Commission did hold,
pursuant to law, duly advertised continued public hearings on amendments to the Zoning Code and City's General Plan,
and notice was given to the time, form and manner prescribed by law, and,
WHEREAS, on April 24, 1997, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2391 recommending to the
City Council approval of Environmental Assessment EA -403, General Plan Amendment 97 -2, and Zone Text
Amendments ZTA 97 -1 regarding amendments to the Zoning Code and General Plan; and,
WHEREAS, on May 20, June 3, and 17, July 1, and August 4, 1997, the City Council did hold, pursuant to law,
duly advertised public hearings on amendments to the Zoning Code and City's General Plan, and notice was given to
the time, form and manner prescribed by law; and,
WHEREAS, at said hearings, the City Council established the following facts and findings:
1. That the Federal Telecommunications Act was signed into law in February of 1996. The effects of this Act upon
the City's ability to regulate these facilities require further study by the City; and,
2. That changes in wireless telecommunications technology, additional licenses granted by the Federal
Communications Commission, and the increased demand for wireless communication services have led to a
significant increase in the demand for wireless communication facilities within the City of El Segundo. There
has been an increase in the number of applications for, and inquiries regarding, proposed wireless
communication facilities in the City; and,
3. That the citizens of El Segundo have expressed significant concern relating to the location of wireless
communication facilities within the City. Their primary concerns relate to the aesthetic effects of such facilities
on neighboring properties and the community as a whole and interference with home electronic devises; and,
4. That failure to implement new regulations for wireless communication facilities will result in a substantial number
of wireless communication facilities being installed without regulations needed to protect the public safety and
11'.
welfare of the citizens of El Segundo. New regulations will provide for consistency in decision - making among
applications before the City; and,
5. That because of its size, topography, and development, there are a limited number of potential sites in the City
which would be acceptable for the installation of wireless communication facilities; and,
6. That the City of El Segundo is nearly fully developed with a variety of residential and commercial uses; and,
7. That the adoption of regulations and guidelines for the establishment of wireless communication facilities will
serve to reduce the potential for negative impacts on the community; and,
8. That the requirements and restrictions imposed by this Ordinance are necessary to protect the safety and
welfare of the citizens of El Segundo.
9. That the Planning Commission considered and recommended approval of a General Plan Amendment
encouraging the development of standard for the location and design of wireless communication facilities.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after consideration of the above facts and study of proposed
Environmental Assessment EA -403 and Zone Text Amendment 96 -3 the City Council finds as follows:
The proposed Zoning Code amendments are consistent with the 1992 General Plan.
2. The General Plan Amendment considered by the Planning Commission was reviewed in conjunction with other
General Plan Amendments as part of Environmental Assessment EA -405 and General Plan Amendment 97 -2.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
1. 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 the proposed project will not have
a significant adverse effect on the environment, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact
was prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Mitigated Negative Declaration
was adopted with the General Plan Amendment for Wireless Communications, which was adopted on June 17,
1997 with Ordinance No. 1272. The Mitigated Negative Declaration is hereby incorporated into this approval
by reference; 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 directs the Director of Planning and Building Safety to file with the appropriate agencies
a Certificate of Fee Exemption and de minimus 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the City Council approves EA -403 and Zone Text
Amendment ZTA 96 -3, and adopts changes to the El Segundo Municipal Code as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 20.62, "Wireless Communication Facilities," is hereby added to the El Segundo Municipal

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 19, 1997
Ai.rIklnA rTCAA c'TAT=U=MT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request the City Council accept a surplus military vehicle from the United States Air Force and authorize repairs,
equipment and their installation, in an amount not to exceed $14,500.00, from the Asset Forfeiture Account.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Accept vehicle and authorize the Chief of Police to procure the necessary equipment and repair the vehicle.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
Events in law enforcement during the past two years have shown that law enforcement officers are at a
disadvantage when rescuing law enforcement and civilian personnel from hostile gunfire. In order to address this
problem, the police department obtained an armored emergency rescue vehicle from the United States Air Force -
the vehicle was valued at $65,000.00 at purchase. This vehicle would be utilized for rescue and deployment
purposes when conventional means are not safe or feasible.
Funds from this project will be procured from the Asset Forfeiture Account.
DISCUSSION:
It is requested that the City Council waive the formal bidding process on the mechanical repair proposal for the
following reason:
Three automotive facilities were contacted and only Jim & Jack's Automotive Repair would provide a written bid.
The two other vendors declined to bid.
Vehicle repair and equipment costs:
Overhaul vehicle, rebuild drive train, repaint vehicle, includes all parts and labor. $8,500.00
Emergency equipment (emergency lighting, police radio, cellular telephone). $6,000.00
Total costs, including tax. 514.500.00
Per Jack Hilton, the estimated annual vehicle maintenance cost is approx. $600.00. There will be no vehicle
replacement funding necessary.

Inter - Departmental Correspondence
August 12, 1997
To: T. J. Grimmond, Chief of Police ( Through Channels)
From: Lt. M.K. Tavera W
Subject: Emergency Rescue Vehicle
PROBLEM
The emergency rescue vehicle is currently in an inoperable state. Funds are needed to obtain the
necessary repairs in order to make it operable.
BACKGROUND
In 1994, inquiries were made with the Regional Logistic Supply Office (RLSO) of the United
States Military in regards to the El Segundo Police Department S.W.A.T. gaining access to a
personnel armored vehicle. The RSLO is the intermediate agency between civilian and military
departments that allows civilian law enforcement agencies access to surplus military equipment.
On September 1, 1995, the Commander of the RSLO contacted me in regards to an armored
personnel vehicle. I was informed that our department was put on a list to receive an armored
vehicle when it became available. The vehicle's use would be in the rescue of officers, civilians
and other persons when other conventional means would place rescue personnel at risk.
On December 16, 1996, our agency received a decommissioned 1980 armored vehicle from U.S.
Military Supply. The vehicle is known as a "Peace Keeper" and offers armor protection for up to
8 officers inside the cab area. The vehicle had a number of items removed from the drive train
and interior which makes it inoperable at this time. The vehicle's operational state was assessed
by Officer Bill Sinko as follows:
Necessary Mechanical Repairs:
Rebuild engine, transmission, new radiator, alternator, carburetor, exhaust manifolds, belts,
hoses, starter, battery, rear drive shaft, shocks and possibly other suspension components,
motor mounts, tune -up parts, tires, and air conditioning components. (Note: Some parts are
specialty parts to this type of vehicle.)
Body Repairs
Body preparation and paint (must paint in a way the public knows this is a police vehicle),
interior upholstery work, California State required lighting.
0 128
Emergency Rescue Vehicle
August 12,1997, Page Two
Emergency Equipment
Emergency lighting, emblems, police radio, cellular telephone, and other interior items such
as gun racks, etc.
The estimated cost to acquire the needed emergency equipment is approximately 6$ ,000.00
The mechanical and body repairs cannot be performed by our maintenance yard facility. In order
facilitate these repairs it is recommended that local automotive /truck repairs garages be contacted
and asked to provide estimates.
The following repair facilities provided estimates for the repair of the emergency rescue vehicle.
Jim & Jack's Automotive & Body Shop, 1605 E. Grand Ave.
Total cost to repair vehicle, including paint, materials and tax: $8,500.00
Motta Brothers, 763 N. Sepulveda Blvd.
Mr. Bob Motta did not provide a written estimate to repair the emergency rescue vehicle. He
verbally stated that it would easily be in excess of $10,000.00 (excluding a paint job) to bring
the vehicle to an operational state.
Craig's Automotive, 123 Nevada Street.
Would not bid on vehicle repairs.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the submitted bids it is recommended that the Chief of Police be empowered to employ
Jim and Jack's Automotive & Body Shop to perform the necessary mechanical and body repairs
on the emergency rescue vehicle. Funding for this project can be drawn from the Asset
Forfeiture Account.
Total cost for mechanical repairs, body repairs and emergency equipment: $14,500.00
The estimated annual maintenance cost of the emergency rescue vehicle is: 6$ 00.00.
The maintenance costs were calculated by General Services Manager John W. Hilton. Funding
for the maintenance costs can be drawn from the Asset Forfeiture Vehicle Operating Expenses
Account.
See attachments one (Jim and Jack's estimate) and two (Memorandum from John W. Hilton).
The annual maintenance cost for the Armored Emergency Rescue Vehicle will be approximately
$600.00.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request for authorization to purchase Innopac Automated Circulation and Online Public Access Catalog
System DEC ALPHA from Innovative Interfaces, Inc. (Fiscal impact: $56,106.)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve purchase of Innopac Automated Circulation and Online Public Access Catalog System DEC ALPHA
mainframe with software integration from Innovative Interfaces, Inc. on a sole source basis.
BRIEF SUMMARY:
At the July 1, 1997 meeting, City Council approved the Library's budget request for an Innopac DEC ALPHA
mainframe upgrade including software, license and conversion.
To date, the City has invested approximately $170,000 in a Public Library/School Library Innopac automated
Circulation and Online Public Access Catalog System. The present mainframe unit of the integrated system
has run out of sufficient memory and disk space, and cannot accept the next software upgrade, Release
#11. Staff investigated various options including addition of a hard drive to allay the expenditure for a new
mainframe component. However, a hard drive solution would only delay the problem of memory and disk
space maximization for one year. Staff determined purchase of a new mainframe unit was the optimal
solution for long -term viability.

BRIEF SUMMARY: (Continued)
The Innopac DEC ALPHA unit is the only computer for which Innovative Interfaces supplies a compiled
version of the integrated library system software, which the Library purchased in 1993. The hardware is to
replace the computer acquired as part of the original contract. Innovative Interfaces provides a system
integration service on the Alpha including installation of upgraded software (Release 11) and an operating
system which is not available elsewhere. The upgraded system also includes ethernet boards, disk and tape
drives, operating system, terminal server, license, conversion and testing necessary to the overall
maintenance of the system.
The aforementioned conversion and testing requirements are critical to the continued stability and
maintenance of the entire system. Purchase of only the CPU from another vendor would cause a hardware -
software maintenance dichotomy resulting in delays and jurisdictional diagnostic disputes if the system
should go down. Innovative Interfaces, as a reliable /system maintenance vendor, has an excellent track
record and has, when needed, replaced equipment within 12 -24 hours.
For reasons of retaining a fully integrated Innopac Circulation and Online Public Access Catalog system
maintained by a single vendor, staff is recommending purchase of the new mainframe unit, with its software,
conversion and upgrade, from Innovative Interfaces, Inc. at a cost of $56,106 (including sales tax,
installation, and delivery). This cost includes a trade -in value of $5,000 for return of the original MIPS
mainframe now in current use.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 19, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request for the City Council to accept the low bid from Long Beach Uniform for the next three (3) fiscal years and
reiect all other bids for the Police Department uniforms and safety equipment contract.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL
Approve the low bid of Long Beach Uniform and authorize staff to issue an annual blanket purchase order in an
amount not to exceed $30,000 plus applicable taxes.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
Beginning in fiscal year 1990 -1991, it was negotiated in the then current Memorandum of Understanding between
the City and the Police Officers Association that the City provide uniforms and safety equipment in lieu of a
quarterly allowance.
Request for Bid and Bid inquiry 97 -07 were mailed on July 11, 1997. A mandatory pre -bid conference was held on
July 18, 1997, with potential vendors to ensure a thorough understanding of the specification and requirements.
On August 1, 1997, bids were received in the El Segundo City Clerk's Office. A total of three (3) bids solicitations
were released with three (3) responsive bids. Staff has reviewed the bids obtained and has determined that the bid
from Long Beach Uniform represents the lowest responsible bid. Staff has examined sample uniforms and
equipment and found them to be acceptable. Additionally, staff conducted a site inspection of Long Beach Uniform
and found that the facility meets the needs of the department. Long Beach Uniform holds the current police
uniform contact and the Police Department is satisfied with the quality and service provided. The current contract
with Long Beach Uniform expires on September 5, 1997.
DISCUSSION:
The attached recap indicates that Long Beach Uniform was the lowest responsible bidder. Funds are already
allocated in the Police Department budget as required. The actual amount to be expended over the three -year
contract period will fluctuate based on the number of new officers hired and with the replacement of uniforms and
equipment for existing officers. If at any time the City is not pleased with the pricing or service provided by Long
Beach Uniform the City can cancel the contract.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 19, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Adoption of plans and specifications for the rehabilitation of Vista del Mar between 45th Street and Grand
Avenue (estimated cost: $280,000.00).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Adopt plans and specifications.
2. Authorize staff to advertise the project for receipt of construction bids.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The fiscal year adopted 1996 -97 Capital Improvement Program includes a project to rehabilitate Vista del
Mar between 45th Street and Grand Avenue. This four -lane highway is heavily travelled with a traffic
volume of 24,000 vehicles per day, severely deteriorated, and poses a maintenance burden to the City.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has prepared plans and specifications for the project. The proposed rehabilitation includes dig out and
reconstruction of the outer two (2) lanes and resurfacing of the inner two (2) lanes. The work also includes
widening of the highway pavement within the existing public right -of -way by four (4) feet on both sides at
the Chevron pipeline bridge tunnel in order to provide adequate highway shoulders in accordance with State
standards.
The project was discussed with the City of Manhattan Beach which abuts the southerly project limits.
Pursuant to these discussions, it was determined that the project construction should be implemented after
the end of the summer season to minimize traffic impacts during summer when traffic is increased due to
the use of the beaches.
Staff has received approval by the County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for $170,000 funding by
Proposition "C" funds since the highway is utilized as a MTA bus route. The balance of $120,000 funds
to complete the project are budgeted from the City's Gasoline Tax revenues.
Staff requests City Council adoption of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise the project
for receipt of construction bids.

DISCUSSION:
On August 5, 1997, the City Clerk received and opened the following bids:
The total estimated cost of the project based on the low bid is $10,500.00 more than the funds available
in the project budget. This additional cost is due to the addition of a 42" high fence on top of the retaining
wall ($3,600) and six (6) large 48" box trees ($7,500) on the new embankment slope. Both these features
were not included in the original project scope at the time the Capital Improvement Program was developed.
Capital Improvement Funds of $90,000.00 were budgeted for the recently completed project to reconstruct
the alley east of Main Street between Holly and Mariposa Avenues. The estimated final cost of this project
based on actual construction costs is $70,000.00. Staff is recommending a transfer of $10,500.00 from the
alley reconstruction project savings to complete the Recreation Park Retaining Wall project as currently
proposed.
After completion of work, the Recreation and Parks Department will install ground cover on the new slope
to protect it from erosion during the next rain season.
Staff has verified and received favorable responses from the low bidder's references of recently completed
similar projects. Staff recommends award of contract to Malibu Pacific Tennis Courts, Inc., in the amount
of $63,895.00.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 19, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request purchase of one (1) truck mounted Vactor Machine for the cleaning of the City's storm drain catch
basins (total cost = $16,670.50).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Authorize staff to issue a purchase order to procure portable Vactor Machine.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The adopted fiscal year 1997 -98 budget includes $16,671.00 for the purchase of storm drain cleaning
equipment.
The Vector Machine, manufactured by MADVAC, California, is a self- contained unit that is loaded into the
back of a pick -up truck for transport to each location. MADVAC California Inc., is the only distributor in
California that has a unit this compact and powerful enough to do the tasks required by the Wastewater
Division.
DISCUSSION:
This unit is designed for a one (1) man operation and much safer than having an employee enter the
confined catch basin space that could be infested with spiders, rodents, dead animals, or toxic waste. The
employee would be protected against cuts and abrasions and the equipment will minimize the chance of
an on the job accident. Also, the man hours would be reduced considerably than that currently being used
to do the same task with increased liability.
The total cost of the MADVAC unit complete with shipping is $16,670.50. No other bids could be acquired
because MADVAC is the only distributor in California and the manufacturer's policy does not allow
distributors from other states to bid against each other. Other units from various distributors are too large
and costly (beginning at $35,000 to $90,000) and need to be towed or driven.
Staff recommends purchase of the Vactor Machine for the total cost of $16,670.50.
