application submitted to the City by Hughes Electronics to allow the Transfer of Development Rights.

Environmental Assessment EA -405, GPA 97 -1, ZTA 97 -1 and ZC 97 -1 the Planning Commission finds as follows:

analyzed and certified through the 1992 General Plan.
The General Plan Amendments under GPA 97 -1 are in the public interest.
The proposed General Plan, Zoning Code and Zoning Map Amendments are consistent with the existing Zoning
Code.
Based on the direction and recommendations on the General Plan Amendments, Zone Text Amendments and
Zone Changes from the Planning Commission, the City will proceed with the required environmental review
process for the proposed amendments, as required by CEQA and City Council Resolution No. 3805, at the City
Council level.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Planning Commission hereby recommends

20.64.010 PURPOSE AND SCOPE.
It is the purpose of this Chapter to facilitate orderly business development and provide for the public
benefit without increasing the total NFA permitted under the General Plan. The goal of Transfer

minimizing traffic impacts and maximizing the public benefit. This Chapter provides for the transfer
of a minimum of 25,000 square feet of Net Floor Area (NFA) between properties under common
ownership. Transfers may only occur from properties west of Sepulveda Boulevard, located in the
C -3 and C -O Zones, to properties east of Sepulveda Boulevard and located in the C -3, CO, MU -N,
and M -1 Zones.

Site(s), amount of the NFA to be transferred, the proposed uses of the Donor Site(s) and
Receiving Site(s), the public benefit of the transfer, and the proposed conditions of

D. "Donor Site(s)" means a parcel located west of Sepulveda Boulevard and located within
the C -3 or CO Zone from which NFA is being transferred pursuant to the provisions of this
Chapter.
E. "Receiving Site(s)" means a parcel located east of the easterly right -of -way line of
Sepulveda Boulevard, which does not abut or take access from Sepulveda Boulevard, and
located within the C -3, CO, MU -N, or M -1 Zone that receives NFA from a Donor Site(s)
pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter.
F. "Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ)" means a specific area in the City of El Segundo which
has been identified for traffic study and mitigation purposes.
20.64.030 PROHIBITIONS.

LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
Following is a discussion of each type of land use designation found in the City.
Each contains a short description and an indication of the maximum land use
density or intensity allowed.
Land use density refers to the number of dwelling units per acre of land (du /ac).
This distinction is generally used only for residential designations. Land use
intensity refers to the quantity of building on a specific lot size. For example, a
3,000 square foot single - family home would be considered a more intense use
than a 1,600 square foot home on the same size lot. An example of non-
residential intensity would be a multi -story building, which is considered a more
intense use than a single -story building on the same sized lot. For non-
residential uses, intensity is expressed in terms of Floor Area Ratio (FAR) which
describes the ratio of the lot size to the building size or as otherwise defined in
the Zoning Code from time to time. For example, typically a lot with a land area
Of 10,000 square feet and a FAR of 1.0, would allow a building area of 10,000
square feet. The allowed FAR may be exceeded for properties east of
Sepulveda Boulevard only, with approval of a Transfer of Development Rights
(TDR) Plan.

Commmercial Designations
Urban Mixed -Use North

Urban Mixed -Use South

shall be permitted if approved with a discretionary application. The maximum floor area

Proposed Land Use Plan
Northeast Quadrant
On the 1992 Land Use Plan, the majority of the northeast quadrant is designated either
Corporate Office (193.4 ac) or Urban Mixed -Use (279.0 ac). Corporate Office allows a
mixture of office uses with retail in the lobby. This designation covers the "Superblock
Area" and will allow uses similar to those currently in that area.
The Urban Mixed -Use North and South designations allow a mixture of uses, including
office, hotels, and retail and light industrial with discretionary approval. The Urban
Mixed -Use North and South designations are designed to allow for a flexibility of uses
near the three existing, and one future, Green Line transit stations. For the most part ,
the types of uses allowed are different from the light and heavy industrial uses currently
in this area. These designations will accommodate a transition from these uses, which
is being driven by the market forces described in the Economic Development Element.
Southeast Quadrant
The majority of the southeast quadrant is designated light industrial (365.9 ac). This
category allows for a mixture of light industrial and office uses, similar to what is now
existing in some of the business parks between Douglas Street and Aviation Boulevard.
The southern portion of the quadrant, along Rosecrans Avenue west of Aviation
Boulevard, is designated as Urban Mixed -Use South, allowing a mixture of office, hotel,
and retail uses. This area totals 70.6 acres. The northeast comer of Rosecrans
Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard (84.8 ac), currently occupied by Air Products and
Allied Chemical, are designated for heavy industrial. There is a small commercial piece
(0.9 ac) along Sepulveda Boulevard, just south of El Segundo Boulevard.

Existing construction such as the market, and recently constructed, renovated commeraal centers and legal nonfonforming
residential uses at densities that are currently higher than allowed by the land use designations in this plan will not realistically
be converted to mixed commercial/residential uses and these buildings are expected to remain for the life of the Plan.
The heavy industrial shown on this plan includes the Chevron Refinery, Southern California Edison Generation Station, Air
Products and Allied Chemical facilities. These facilities have processing equipment and tanks rather than buildings and are
expected to remain for the life of the Plan. Therefore, no estimated building square footage is shown.

Proposed Land Use Plan
Southeast Quadrant
The majority of the southeast quadrant is designated light industrial (365.9 ac). This
category allows for a mixture of light industrial and office uses, similar to what is now
existing in some of the business parks between Douglas Street and Aviation Boulevard.
The southern portion of the quadrant, along Rosecrans Avenue west of Aviation Boulevard,
is designated as Urban Mixed -Use South, allowing a mixture of office, hotel, and retail
uses. This area totals 70.6 acres. The northeast comer of Rosecrans Avenue and
Sepulveda Boulevard (84.8 ac), currently occupied by Air Products and Allied Chemical,
are designated for heavy industrial. There is a small commercial piece (0.9 ac) along
Sepulveda Boulevard, just south of El Segundo Boulevard.
The remaining land in the southeast quadrant is designated as public facilities for the
Green Line station along El Segundo Boulevard and the proposed water reclamation
facility north of Hughes Way, parks for the Golf Course and Driving Range along
Sepulveda Boulevard, and open space along the Southern California Edison transmission
line rights -of -way. The privately -owned park for Hughes employees is also designated as
open space, to ensure it will continue to be used as a recreation facility.
