EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Order of Business - Public Hearing
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Appeal of a Planning Commission decision to uphold the determination of the Director of Planning and Building Safety
for Administrative Determination AD 97 -17 -- that the business operation of Leader Mutual Freight System, Inc. is a
"freight forwarding" use which requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit, and not a "warehouse and distribution
use" which would be permitted in the Small Business (SB) Zone at 120 Standard Street. Applicant and appellant:
Leader Mutual Freight System, Inc.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Open public hearing;
2) Council discussion;
3) Uphold Planning Commission's determination, thereby denying the appeal; and,
4) Direct Staff to prepare a Resolution consistent with City Council action for adoption on October 21, 1997; or
5) Other possible action.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On July 1, 1997, the applicant submitted a business license to conduct a "warehouse and distribution" facility at 120
Standard Street in the SB Zone. Upon the submittal of additional information, at the request of Planning staff, the
Director of Planning and Building Safety determined the use consisted of operations which indicated the use was most
similar to the definition for a `freight forwarding operation; and, therefore subject to approval of a Conditional Use
Permit. On August 28, 1997, the Planning Commission reviewed the determination of the Director and concurred with
the Director's decision. It should be noted that the applicant was notified of the Planning Commission meeting, but did
not attend or offer testimony in support of their application. After some period of indecision, the applicant filed an
appeal, with the appropriate fee, of the Planning Commission's decision on September 8, 1997.
DISCUSSION:
A complete project description, analysis, and background information, including previous correspondence from the
Appellant describing the business, are contained in the Planning Commission Staff Report and its attachments. These
were previously distributed to the City Council on August 26, 1997 and also are included in this Agenda Packet
(Attachment 3) for your review. The (approved) Planning Commission Minutes from August 28, 1997, are also included
in this Agenda Packet. Pursuant to Section 20.82.035 of the Zoning Code, the City Council decision on an appeal must
be made by Resolution. Staff will prepare a Resolution consistent with the Council's direction, and present it for
adoption at its October 21, 1997 meeting.

City Council Staff Report
October 7,1997
DISCUSSION (cont):
The Planning Division has prepared the following response to the appellants letter, dated September 18, 1997, which
describes the basis for the appeal:
1. Staff would suggest the appellant appears to confirm the Planning Commissions conclusion that the business
operation includes freight forwarding, as the letter states freight forwarding is part of their total logistics service
to customers.
2. Item No. 2 of this letter suggests the traffic generated by the business would not interfere with neighboring
businesses. As described in the Planning Commission Staff Report, staff has already received complaints
regarding the trucking activities of the business, and believes the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process is
the appropriate avenue to thoroughly evaluate the impacts of the trucking activities of the business.
3. Finally, staff does not believe the City would be responsible for compensating the appellant for any perceived
losses, should the Council also determine the business is required to apply for a CUP, even if that CUP were
ultimately denied by the Planning Commission or City Council on appeal. It is the responsibility of each
company to obtain a business license prior to beginning operations in the City. Leader Mutual Freight
Systems, did not obtain a business license before commencing operations at 120 Standard Street. Therefore,
the City could not have known of its existence until they did apply for a license on July 1, 1997. The fact that
a business has expended funds on signs (which also appear to have been constructed without City approval),
advertising, and tenant improvements, for a location which it may not be able to operate in, does not limit the
City's authority to enforce its Zoning Code.

Dear Paul:
We are in receipt of your Notice Of Public Hearing dated September 22, 1997.
As per your request, we hereby clarify why we appealed to the city for reconsideration of
issuing us the business license:
1. Nature of our business is "Total Logistics Service" to provide to customers. In
today's logistics operation, freight forwarding is part of its requirement.
2. Obviously, the city is concerned about the volume of the traffic our freight forwarding
portion will be causing to this neighborhood. If this is your major concern, I do not
see why our application be denied as we are certain that the volume which our
operation might need would not interrupt any normal operating condition to our
neighbors. We do not involve frequent 40' containers to come in & out of our
facility and we seldom block entrance of our neighbors. These were all explained
in my letters submitted to you at earlier dates.
3. Without proper alert from our landlord, we were innocent of city's limitation to
our type of operations. Our new business is seriously put in jeopardy and who is
going to compensate the loss which we spent on our signs, decorations, printings,
advertisements, and most importantly, damage of our reputation?
We are deeply frustrated & we do not think that we were given fair consideration in your
final decision.
Very truly yours,
2.
Allen Cheng

Vice -Chair Wycoff would like the condition of the applicant volunteering the business
license process to be put in with the motion. Director Bernard stated that condition can't
be placed, it has to be volunteered from the applicant. Mr. Altmayer stated the
Commission's motion is that Jazzercise, 1 1/4 hours a day, three days a week is consistent
with the current use. Anything beyond that wouldn't be consistent with the use, and the
City would have the ability to go in and determine that. The problem arises in defining
the use so that everybody knows what it is in the future. It would be nice if the applicant
would go in and just voluntarily put on the condition. Chairman Crowley stated they need
to have language that expresses clearly what the will of the Commission is.
Commissioner Boulgarides seconded the motion. The motion passed 3 -1, with MOTION
Commissioner Crowley voting no.
Chairman Crowley presented the next Item, Administrative Determination AD 97 -17,
Applicant: Leader Mutual Freight Systems. This is a request for the Planning Commission
to confirm the determination of the Director of Planning and Building Safety that the
proposed use is a freight forwarding use which requires review and approval of a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Additionally, Staff requests that the Planning
Commission provide direction to Staff in order to clarify when a business should be
considered a freight forwarding company (and therefore require a CUP) and when it
should be considered a warehouse and distribution company (which would be a permitted
use in industrial zones in the City).
Chairman Crowley stated some ideas on characterizing a freight forwarder. As an
example, for a couple of years, they dealt with overseas courier services in which the
nature of the business was to receive magazines and newspapers, take them to their plant,
break them apart, put them in route trucks, and take them to clients around town. That
was determined to be a warehouse distribution business. AD 97 -17
If a situation exists in which someone serves one client as a distributer, that may be a way
to determine who is doing the warehousing.
Another example of warehousing is a business that serves as the conduit between
wholesale and retail. For example, in a produce business in which someone is a wholesale
produce distributer, that individual would collect goods from farmers and then distribute
them to grocery stores where they are actually sold. That also means that person would
own the product that is in his warehouse for awhile. Whoever is operating this building
is basically the owner of the goods that are being stored. This would be a warehouse
distribution business; as opposed to a business such as Federal Express or UPS that never
actually has any ownership whatsoever of the goods that are passing through the building,
but rather are just handling them for somebody else; which is freight forwarding.
Director Bernard stated that, consistent with the Commission's procedure for Jazzercise
and reviewing the Administrative Determination, before the Commission began it's
discussion on the dias, the Commission should ask for any input from the public and this
hasn't been done yet. The applicant was advised to attend tonight's meeting.
Chairman Crowley stated the microphone was open to anyone who would like to provide
any input as to the difference between freight forwarding and warehousing or the applicant
if he would like to discuss the project. No one came forward.
Director Bernard stated there are certain inconsistencies and infonnation is lacking in what
they have obtained so far. Independent of this application, today Staff was advised from
a real estate broker that had contacted Staff about the property as to whether another use
00018
8- 28min.PC 3
might be appropriate for the property, and it was represented to Staff that this other
interested party which is not Leader Mutual was in escrow on the property. Staff is a bit
confused with regards to the rush to judgement for this property for this applicant and
proponent who is not the person who is escrow. He is bringing it up for full disclosure
and there may or may not be the immediacy that has been represented to Staff.
Vice -Chair Wycoff stated freight forwarding involves a larger volume of freight being
moved more often. They talk about truck trips and don't distinguish, at least
quantitatively, between large trucks, small trucks, medium trucks and he thinks what
should be considered is the volume of freight being moved, the speed of the movement,
how much is stored, and the impact on the surrounding area and the Community. Also,
on Page 2 of the Packet, the Zoning Code defines warehousing and distribution as "A
building or premises in which goods, merchandise or equipment are stored for eventual
distribution." "Eventual" is the key; and signifies that it will not be short term storage.
Also, the Zoning Code defines freight forwarding as "transportation of goods," and the
word "transportation" is the key.
Commissioner Boulgarides asked if the applicant is currently in the building and has been
there about a month. Someone has told them that the property is possibly in escrow which
they can't verify. Director Bernard stated Leader Mutual is a lessee at this point and they
have the first right of refusal for the property and that would term tomorrow, August 29,
1997. Today, independent of that representation, Staff has received an inquiry from a real
estate broker regarding the property because his owner in town wanted to make sure that
they closed escrow and that their proposed use was consistent with the zoning for that
area.
Commissioner Boulgarides asked at what point did this become a question for Staff as to
what type of business it was. Mr. Garry stated when they first came into apply for the
business license, that's when Staff reviewed for conformance. The business didn't come
to them before they moved in, which is the way it should have been done. Their initial
business license application simply states the use as warehouse and distribution which is
the reason that Staff included it in the packet. Director Bernard stated one of the first
inconsistencies they found was in their first letter of description in the packet, which
describes a number of daily deliveries which was inconclusive regarding the size and
volume of trucks that would be coming in. Staff was led to believe it would house a
compilation of materials brought by small trucks, and then periodically a larger truck
would come in to take those materials out. It wasn't consistent with regards to the take out
of materials with regards to the cost and delivery of materials. At some point there had
to be an overflow of the materials inside the capacity. Staff continued to get more
information but it just led to more questions.
Commissioner Boulgarides stated for clarification, the applicant applied for warehousing
and Staff is more inclined to believe it is freight forwarding. The ownership issue is very
pertinant when materials are being forwarded to determine whether or not the business is
operating as a freight forwarder. Volume isn't a valid consideration because using volume
is a judgement of the merits of someone's business. Also, exclusivity could be
problematic. There are lots of single vendor businesses and it doesn't make it any less
valid. Maybe they have less security, but there are a lot of people that make their living
making gaskets for one company. Also, the length of time that something is in the
warehouse is not a valid means to determine the nature of the business because sometimes
freight moves in and out rapidly and sometimes it just sits. He feels relying on length of
storage time is a judgement as to how someone does their business and how successful
they are. The criteria that is most sensible in detemining whether the business is
warehousing or freight forwarding is in whether or not the company is moving someone
8- 28min.PC 4 0001 1
else's property. If not, it is clearly warehousing. He feels more information is needed
before a determination can be made.
Commissioner Palmer stated this has been rushed through, things are inconsistent, and
there already complaints, so she would be inclined to automatically consider that this falls
into freight forwarding until a better definition and more information can be obtained. As
to whether or not they want to think this through a bit more, she appreciates the comments
made to date and is sure Staff would find it really useful to have something a little bit more
specific.
Chairman Crowley stated from the nature of the numbers he has seen, this use looks like
a freight forwarder and doesn't see anything that implies that it's not. Although the nature
of the business is uncertain, it is already negatively impacting the neighbors, so it would
appear that a CUP is required for this to proceed.
Vice-Chair Wycoff agrees and stated that there isn't a plan in place to address the docking
and the containerized loading and unloading and the large semitractor trailer trucks, and
there are inconsistencies in the various data that have been submitted. The inconsistencies
need to be cleared up. The business looks like it's more of a freight forwarder than a
warehousing since it's generally not a long term storage.
Vice -Chair Wycoff asked why are there two separate distinctions in the Code and why,
when reading it, it seems like there is an implicit distinction on traffic and impact, and
trucks and volume of things moving in and out.
Commissioner Boulgarides feels warehousing in general is not a business end in itself.
It is something a business owns to facilitate its business. Freight forwarding is a business
in itself.
Chairman Crowley stated someone doing business in town distributing goods will
eventually end up collecting sales tax at the point of sale. There is a distinction as to what
kind of taxes the City can expect from the two kinds of businesses. This is especially
prevalent in a freight forwarding business that does international or interstate business and
would therefore be exempt from a lot of taxes, as opposed to a business that runs a
warehouse to sell its goods in town, which would not be exempt.
Commissioner Boulgarides stated a warehousing operation is not always point of sale.
The bigger the company, the less likely it is their point of sale.
The concensus of the Commission was that Leader Mutual is a freight forwarder, and
requires a C.U.P.
Vice -Chair Wycoff asked about a memo from the previous Planning Manager, dated
December 7, 1989, that was in the back of the Packet. Director Bernard stated it was Ms.
Jester's predecessor as Manager of the Planning Division at that time. Vice -Chair Wycoff
stated truck traffic seemed to be the measure when there was a freight forwarder versus
no freight forwarder. This would be an important consideration as to the impact of truck
traffic.
Director Bernard stated they will look at some other cities as to the definitions of freight
forwarding versus warehouse distribution, run these definitions by the Commission, and
seek input from the Council as to whether or not they want to initiate a Zone Text
Amendment to better define the two operations.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
MEETING DATE: August 28, 1997
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission

THROUGH: Laurie B. Jester, Senior Planner
STAFF
PLANNER: Paul Garry, Assistant Planner
SUBJECT: Administrative Determination AD 97 -17
Leader Mutual Freight Systems
120 Standard Street
Request for the Planning Commission to confirm the determination of the Director of Planning and
Building Safety, based on the information submitted to date by the applicant, which does contain
a number of inconsistencies and unresolved questions, that the proposed use of 120 Standard
Street by Leader Mutual Freight Systems, Inc. is a freight forwarding use which requires full review
and approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) by the Planning Commission. Additionally, Staff
requests that the Planning Commission provide direction to Staff to clarify, in general, when a
business should be considered a "freight forwarding" company which requires a CUP versus a
"warehouse and distribution" company that would be a permitted use in Industrial zones in the City.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the determination of the Director of
Planning and Building Safety and Deny the applicant's request to operate a "warehouse and
distribution" business at 120 Standard Street in the Small Business (SB) Zone because the business
is more characteristic of a "freight forwarding" operation. Because the applicant is anxious to get
resolution of the disposition of his Business License application, and apparently because of the
possible sale of the underlying property, Staff has placed this item on the agenda even though there
are a number of issues Staff feels have not been addressed completely by the applicant. If the
Commission desires additional information from the applicant or Staff before rendering a decision,
Staff points out that the application can be continued until a later Planning Commission meeting.
As stated above, the proposed use is located within the Small Business (SB) Zone. The purpose
of the SB Zone (Chapter 20.42 of the Zoning Code) is to perpetuate the existence of the small
business and incubator industrial users in the Smoky Hollow area. As such, this Zone is felt to be
1
0 OryQi
business and incubator industrial users in the Smoky Hollow area. As such, this Zone is felt to be
an appropriate location for light industrial activities, research and technological processes,
restaurants, cafeterias, and related industrial offices. Principal uses in the area include:
manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, automobile service uses, restaurants, general office
under certain circumstances, and research and development. Other permitted uses, subject to
approval of a Conditional Use Permit, include: drive -thru restaurants, freight forwarding, and service
stations near residential areas.
Section 20.08.430 of the Zoning Code defines freight forwarding as:
"an establishment primarily engaged in undertaking the transportation of goods from
shippers to receivers for a charge covering the entire transportation, and in turn
making use of the services of other transportation establishments as
instrumentalities in affecting delivery."
Section 20.08.915 of the Zoning Code defines warehousing and distribution as:
"A building or premises in which goods, merchandise or equipment are stored for
eventual distribution."
The issue of determining the difference between a warehouse and distribution operation and a
freight forwarding operation has been particularly difficult for Staff given the (above) broad
definitions in the Zoning Code of warehousing and freight forwarding and the variety in the types of
businesses that make up the field of freight transportation. Staff attempted to classify some of the
different activities involved in freight operations in 1989 and presented a report to the Planning
Commission. The Report included a few possible thresholds, such as the size of a building, the
number of loading docks, and the number of truck trip ends to use in determining when to catagorize
a business as a freight forwarding use requiring a CUP. Unfortunately, Staff has been unable to
locate a record of the meeting at which the report may have been discussed, in order to confirm the
direction given to Staff by the Commission. Therefore, Staff requests the Commission consider the
attached Report and provide direction to Staff if these and /or other thresholds would be an
appropriate measure to use when reviewing potential freight forwarding businesses. It should also
be noted, that (current) Staff believes that the thresholds used in the 1989 Report may result in true
warehouse operations to be penalized by a overly simplistic examination of the building
configuration.
The impacts most often identified with freight forwarding as being of concern to the community are
the number of truck trips that are generated by the business. Package delivery businesses such as
FedEx, California Overnight, UPS, and others typically generate the largest volume of traffic. There
are a number of smaller operation, such as the recently approved BDP International project, the
TAS Air Cargo project (Planning Commission's Denial currently on Appeal to City Council), and
other freight forwarders in the Smoky Hollow area that have also demonstrated through individual
CUP applications and the "MASS CUP" that freight forwarding can have a low number of truck trips.
The truck trips generated from these uses can-be -similar to industrial/manufacturing operations.
Additionally, the impacts of large trucks blocking street and /or alley access to properties, due to
inadequate (size and number) truck loading areas, has been a source of complaints. In fact, past
freight forwarding operations on this site — by the previous (different) operator — resulted in a
number of complaints.
OA

Chapter 20.72.020 of the Zoning Code establishes a procedure by which the Director of Planning
and Building Safety may determine if a use "is sufficiently similar to a listed use in the particular zone
to justify a finding that it should be deemed either a permitted use, a conditional use or that an
administrative use permit is necessary." The following conditions /findings are required to make
such an administrative determination:
A. The proposed use is consistent with the purpose of this Code;
B. The proposed use and its operation are compatible with the uses allowed in the
zone; and,
C. The proposed use is similar to one or more uses in the zone.
On July 1, 1997, the applicant submitted a business license application to conduct "warehousing
and distribution" in a 12,000 square foot building at 120 Standard Street in the SB Zone. The
applicant submitted a Supplemental Information Form and three subsequent letters describing the
operations of the business. The letters indicate that a portion of the business appears to involve the
sorting, repackaging, and consolidating of freight shipments -- activities consistant with a traditional
freight forwarding operation. The fact that 50% of the goods stored in the warehouse would be
housed for less than one month further suggest that a significant portion of the business is freight
and not storage oriented.
Based on the (inconsistent) information described in the applicant's letters, the number of truck trips
associated with the use would appear to be minimal. However, the applicant and the property owner
have provided Staff with conflicting information about the number of truck trips and the type of trucks
which will be generated by the proposed use. The applicant has indicated that there would be
approximately 2 incoming trucks per day and 2 -3 outgoing truck trips per week, with a few airport
related trips indicated (one or two on Wednesdays and Fridays). Based on the incomplete
information provided, Staff is unable to provide a precise analysis of the potential impacts of the
trucking activities, at this time.
However, Staff has received several complaints about the business, which has already occupied
the building. These complaints relate to trucks blocking access to parking for adjacent properties
and trucks double parking in the street in front of the business. Some of the parking problems may
be temporary and associated with construction work to demolish a 30' wide by 30' deep portion of
the building in the rear. This area was demolished to make room available to allow access to two
existing (non - permitted according to the City's Building Safety Division permit records) loading
docks. The applicant submitted, "after - the - fact", construction plans for the paving of the ground in
front of the two existing loading dock doors on August 27, 1997. While no Permits could be located
for the existing loading dock doors, which were inside the room which was demolished, a registered
engineer for the property owner has opined that they were part of the original construction. Upon
completion of the paving work, there would be two loading facilities at the rear of the property, which
in turn may or may not eliminate the problems identified by the'complainants. Again, based upon
the incomplete and inconsistent information provided to Staff, we have been unable to determine
if all issues have been addressed.
3
00023
The applicant has not yet submitted a site plan which demonstrates that all of the required parking
(16 spaces) and two proposed loading areas, including adequate back -up space and on -site
circulation, can be accommodated on site. The applicant has discussed with Staff the possibility of
allowing a "flexible" parking layout, where one of the required parking spaces would be located in
different areas at the rear of the site depending on the then immediate loading needs, so the trucks
would not block access to or from the required vehicular parking. Staff does not (presently) support
such a concept.
The applicant has not requested a reduction in the required parking, but has indicated that all the
employee parking needs (five employees) could be provided on -site. The Zoning Code does permit
the applicant to submit a Parking Demand Study, in order to justify the need for less than the
required parking.
As background, the previous two businesses in this building, which have both since moved out of
the building: West Coast Logistics, and Express Messenger System, were both freight forwarding
business which occupied the building without proper approval from the Department of Planning and
Building Safety; and we believe, with perhaps misleading information having been provided to the
Finance Department. Prior to these freight forwarding businesses, a manufacturing company,
Bussco, occupied the building. Thus, there is no existing legal non - conforming freight forwarding
use for which the applicant's business could be considered as a continuation of a legally permitted
use.
Based on the information provided by the applicant, Staff believes there is enough evidence in the
record to support the conclusion that a significant portion of the business operation involves freight
forwarding activities, and those activities may create potential impacts on the neighboring properties,
as evidenced by the complaints already received, which warrant the processing of a Conditional Use
Permit for the proposed use. Through the CUP process, a full analysis of the proposed use and
potential impacts could be evaluated and mitigation measures may be imposed if necessary to
ensure the use would operate in a manner compatible with the surrounding area.

Dear Paul:
Leader Mutual Freight System Inc.
120 Standard Street. El Segundo, CA 90245
Tel: 310 - 607 -8088, Fax: 310 - 607 -8080
Thank you for your note on August 6 regarding additional information about our
operations. Please accept my apology of not replying earlier due to the fact that this is
my new business and I was on the road most of the time for the past 2 weeks.
I would like to outline the description of my business as follows:
Type of products: Computers, Auto Accessories. Paper Products, Furniture, Personal
Effects, Household Appliances, etc.,
Typical Origin & Destination:
- Origin: City of Industry, Monterey Park, Northern California, Taiwan.
China
- Destination: East coast, Northern California, Texas, Philippines,
Taiwan, China
Typical duration of storage: 1- 3 months
Loading Requirement:
We need dock high facility to unload the products coming into our facility for
Storage. Average frequency of an incoming truck(20 to 40' trailer) would be
about 2 times a day. Outgoing movement would be 2 to 3 times a week,
dock high facility is also needed for stuffing container purpose.
I hope the above information will be sufficient for your kind issuance of our business
license as we really need to settle down and build our business in this nice neighborhood
which I am confident that we can be a contributing factor to the city. We love the area
and please rest assured that we will do everything possible to meet the city's ordinance.
Sincerely yours,
Allen Cheng

Dear Paul:
We appreciated the detailed description of your letter dated August 15, 1997 regarding
city's concern about the in -depth nature of our business. We would like to offer our best
intention to help you clarify all the points which you might not be totally clear:
Frequency and size of incoming and outgoing deliveries:
May I indicate that in most cases, the incoming deliveries will not be full container
loads (FCL). They almost always be loose cargoes (LCL). Our outgoing loads in the
same time would be consolidating those LCL pieces into larger quantity. Therefore,
we always have less outgoing trips than incoming. The size of the trucks that we use
for outgoing are usually either our own 14' bob tail truck or 18' to 20' outside truck,
occasionally we would stuff an ocean container of 20' or 40' on our property (if we
have our own loading dock, that is).
The 20' -40' trailer for incoming deliveries would include the tractor, however, like I
described earlier, the average size of the delivery would only be 2 to 6 wooden
pallets. The turn over time is usually very short. Outgoing deliveries vary from
bobtail loads to 20' -40' loads, heavy on bobtail loads.
2. Do we operate our own delivery vehicles?
Yes, one 14' bobtail truck. We only need bobtail truck for our local deliveries.
3. Concerns of large trailer park at the proposed loading docks at southeast corner of the
building:
Our plan is to build a portable solid wood platform in triangle shape to place in front
of one loading dock when there is a 40' trailer to be parked. That way, the truck will
be parked diagonally. The length between the dock & the alley border in diagonal
way would be at least 50' or more. In most cases, those docks would be used to
park bobtails and 20' trailers anyway.

4. Number and frequency of truck trips between LAX and our facility:
The truck trips to LAX airport would not be on daily basis. On Wednesday &
Fridays, there might be one to two trips by our own truck.
5. Percentage of goods stored in the warehouse:
Short-term periods (less than a week): 20%
Mid -term periods (a week to a month): 30%
Long -term periods (greater than one month): 50%
6. Freight forwarding or logistics services which our business provides:
Yes, we do offer full fledge of logistics for our clients either within California, Inter -
states or Internationally. On freight forwarding side. we offer our clients storage.
sorting, re- packing services and then distribute to overseas for them either by air or
by vessel. For import shipments, we do not do customs clearance, however, we store
& warehouse for our clients for distribution purpose.
Paul, I trust that the above information would be sufficient to clarify all the unclear areas
which city requires in order to issue the business license to Leader Mutual. We are
eagerly waiting for your kind approval to our application as we really are looking to build
our business at this favorable, quiet neighborhood. Without the license, we are at risk of
not only facing big problem with our landlord, but also failing our new business due to
lack of facility for our operations. As a lawful citizen seeking for career development, we
petition for your positive consideration and support.
With Best Regards,
I Remain,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Paul:
This letter is to clarify the size of the vehicle for the incoming deliveries as stated in my
previous letter to you on August 18.
The 20 -40' trailer which I referred to on my letter, should be interpreted to as ocean
containers. The length including the tractor for a forty footer should be about 50 feet.
In most cases, the tractor would be detached from the box if the staying time requires
more than half of an hour. From the drawing which I submitted, it would be evident that
additional parking spaces can be laid out at both side of the proposed area for a 40' box,
with or without the tractor.
I hope the above clarification will meet the requirement from City of El Segundo,
planning department.
Very sincerely yours,

December 7, 1989

TO: Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission Members
FROM: Richard Miura, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Freight Forwarding Companies
C �A�..RGROUND
In October of this year City Council directed that a conditional use permit be required for
all freight forwarders coming into the City. They took this action in response to recent
proliferation of such uses and concern over their potential impacts, particularly with respect
to truck traffic. Since this policy went into effect, there has been a number of inquiries
on whether the CUP requirement would apply to their particular company. In the course
of dealing with these requests, staff has become aware that the term "freight forwarder"
covers a wide range of different land use activities and that although they are all involved
in some aspect of handling and shipment of air freight, the firms involved vary greatly in
size and nature of their operation.
It is the purpose of this white paper to identify the different types of firms involved in
freight forwarding business as a basis for determining when a conditional use permit is
appropriate.
ANALYSIS
Freight forwarder is a generic term which is being applied to any business that physically
or administratively handles the shipment of freight, primarily into and out of Los Angeles
International Airport. Within this category are found the following types of operations:
Freight Forwarding Office
This is an office type use which handles the paperwork involved in the
transfer and shipment of air freight. These offices may range from a small,
` one- person operation to a larger typical office facility. There is no physical
handling or storage of freight involved in this type of operation. Therefore,
it does not generate any truck traffic other than, perhaps, courier vans. It
is, in essence, an office use which happens to be in the freight forwarding
business. An off -shoot of this type of operation is the custom's house broker
which performs the paperwork associated with clearing international air
freight through U.S. Customs.
Freight Forwarding Office With Storage
This is similar in operation to the above with the exception that there is
some short-term storage of freight while the paperwork is being processed.
The degree to which these uses generate truck traffic depends on the mix
between office and freight handling and storage activities. Some firms are
predominantly office type uses wish ancillary storage and freight handling,
while others are primarily trucking operations with offices as the ancillary
use. As might be expected, this category presents the greatest difficulty in
determining whether a CUP should be required.
Most of the freight forwarding inquiries reviewed by staff to date have
involved potential deliveries by a dozen or so bobtailed truck or vans with an
occasional tractor trailer (1 or 2 per week). In these cases, the truck traffic
generated is less than what might be associated with a non-freight
forwarding, typical M -1 or C-M use.
r
L _ _ 7- AWN
These are outright trucking operations which are involved in the physical
transfer, distribution, consolidation or shipment of air freight. A local
example is Amerford on Grand Avenue. Staff believes that these are the
types of uses which the CUP requirement is intended to control. However, w
it should be noted that these uses are permitted uses in the C-M and M -1
zones (warehouse and distribution). It may prove difficult to apply the CUP
requirement to these uses just because they happen to handle air freight.
..r
1
i
REcommENDATM
It is recommended that as a matter of Planning Commission policy, the following criteria
be used to determine whether a conditional use permit will be required for a 'freight
forwarding" type of business.
A conditional use permit will be required when any of the following conditions exists:
1. The total area of the building exceeds 16,000 square feet.
2. The portion of the building devoted to storage /freight handling
exceeds 60 percent of the building area.
3. The operation is expected to generate more than 20 truck trip ends
per day. �y
4. The buildingas more than one loading dock station.
Staff' believes that this policy will carry out the intent of City Council, yet forego the
necessity of smaller, office -type freight forwarding firms from having to go through the
CUP process.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Order of Business - Public Hearing
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Public Hearing on Environmental Assessment EA -425 and Development Agreement 97 -1 for a request to approve
an Amendment to a Development Agreement to reduce the required parking for Phase II of the Continental Grand
Plaza project to be located at 400 and 444 Continental Boulevard from 963 parking spaces to 614 parking spaces
(equal to the current code requirements). Applicant: Olympia Bend Associates and Tennis World Associates.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Open public hearing;
2) Council discussion;
3) Reading of Resolution by title only;
4) By motion, Adopt Resolution; or,
5) Other possible action.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On September 5, 1996, the Planning Division received a complete application from Olympia Bend Associates and
Tennis World Associates requesting approval of an amendment to a Development Agreement to reduce the required
parking for a previously approved, but as yet unconstructed, six -story 233,700 square foot office building on a 4.17
acre lot at 400 and 444 Continental Boulevard. The proposal includes: 1) reducing the required parking from 963
parking spaces to 614 parking spaces (which meets current Code standards); 2) providing 123 compact parking
spaces (20% of required parking) which meet the current standard of 8' /z feet wide by 15 feet long, instead of 7 1/2feet
wide by 15 feet long dimensions, as required when the original Development Agreement was approved; 3) permitting
additional compact parking spaces to be 71h feet wide; 4) requiring that the parking structure be internally integrated
with the existing structure which abuts the property; and, 5) requiring the landscaping in the proposed surface parking
lot meet the current landscape requirements of Section 20.12.170 B.1. of the Zoning Code.
DISCUSSION:
On September 25, 1997, the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing, reviewed the facts and required
findings related to the Amendment to the Development Agreement; and, Adopted Resolution No. 2401, recommending
approval of the project to the City Council. The project, as an amendment to a previously approved Development
Agreement, requires subsequent City Council approval.

City Council Staff Report
October 7, 1997
DISCUSSION (cont):
A complete project description, analysis, and background information, including the Initial Study/ Negative Declaration,
are contained in the Planning Commission Staff Report and its attachments, which were previously distributed to the
City Council on September 19, 1997 and also are included in this Agenda Packet (Attachment 3) for your review. The
Planning Commission draft Minutes, approved Planning Commission Resolution No. 2401, and draft City Council
Resolution are also included in this Agenda Packet.
The chart below provides a summary of how the parking requirements for the whole project - both Phase I and II - have
changed with successive approvals and revisions to the City's Zoning Code. The originally approved project (EA -39)
indicated on the plans that 1,968 parking spaces would be provided, although only one space per 250 square feet of
floor area (the standard at the time) was required in Planning Commission Resolution No. 2077 and in the project's
Agreement Affecting Real Property. Thus, even though the project developer orignally proposed to provide 1,968
parking spaces, the project was never required to actually provide 1,968 parking spaces. The 963 parking spaces
proposed under the Development Agreement (EA -268) for Phase II in 1991 were more than required at the time. It
was also the number of parking spaces proposed in 1986 when Subdivision 86 -4 was approved to split the project into
two separate parcels. It appears that even though the Code requirement for Phase II were reduced through the years,
the applicant had chosen, even through the negotiated Development Agreement in 1991, to provide 963 parking
spaces for Phase II. As the chart indicates, the parking requirements in the City and for the project have been reduced
since the project was originally approved. However, the overall project provided more parking than required by Code
when proposed, and the revised project, as proposed, still provides 325 parking spaces greater than the current
Zoning Code's parking development standards requires.

At the September 25, 1997, Planning Commission Public Hearing, the Commission discussed several issues related
to the applicant's request. The issues raised related to access between the two properties that make up the project
and mitigation fees.
Access
The Commission questioned how access would be maintained between the existing and proposed parking structure
if the properties for Phase I and Phase II were owned by different parties. The applicant stated the two properties are
owned by the same entity. Staff explained that reciprocal access would be assured through the existing Agreement
Regarding Reciprocal Access, Recreation and Emergency Access which was recorded in 1988 and runs iO { MIly
EA -425, DA 97 -1
City Council Staff Report
October 7, 1997
DISCUSSION (cont):
(or until modified) with the land. This ensures pedestrian and vehicular access will be maintained between the two
properties no matter who owns either of the properties (if separated in the future).
Mitigation Fees
The Commission inquired as to what fees can be required, given that the original Development Agreement reserved
the right of the City to impose additional impact fees up to three cents per square foot of building area and that the
Development Agreement also stated the City could collect fees related to an assessment district. Staff pointed out to
the Commission that only those fees in effect at the time of the original Development Agreement could be required
without the consent of the applicant. Therefore, the current Traffic Mitigation Fee program would not apply to this
project. It is important to note that, as detailed in the attached January 9, 1992, Planning Commission Staff Report,
the original project approvals did include mitigation fees totaling $667,594. In addition to those fees which have been
paid, the approved Development Agreement included an additional $25,000 traffic mitigation fee and additional fees,
totaling approximately $21,036, for Library, Fire, and Police service mitigation (3 cents per square feet each). These
fees have not yet been paid and would be due prior to issuance of a building permit for Phase II.
The project application and plans were circulated to inter - departmental staff at the same time that the Planning
Commission agenda packet was distributed. Thus written comments were not received prior to the distribution of the
Planning Commission agenda. However, staff did verbally report to the Commission that as of September 25, 1997,
all written comments had been received from all Departments, and with the exception of the City Manager's office,
the Departments had no comments on the proposed project. The City Manager requested clarification of the use of
the Environmental Checklist Form as part of the Negative Declaration. Specifically, the City Manager inquired as to
why a project would be considered if the Checklist indicated that the project would have a "less than significant impact'
on on -site parking capacity. The purpose of the Environmental Checklist is to identify and evaluate any possible
negative environmental impact a project might create. When "less than significant Impact' is checked, further study
of the impact is conducted to determine the actual extent of the possible impact. In the case of parking capacity, the
Negative Declaration includes an analysis which indicates that the proposed parking spaces will meet the current
Zoning Code standards and that surplus parking from the adjacent office building at 300 Continental Boulevard will
be available for use by the occupants of the proposed office building. Therefore, staff concluded that, while the issue
deserved study for possible impacts, the overall design of the project supports the ultimate conclusion that there would
not be a significant impact on on -site parking capacity.

tl��l
* Subdivision 86-4 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 17937 was approved by the Planning Commission on
August 28, 1986 as Resolution No. 2154 resulted in the division of the property into two parcels.
* Resolution No. 2219 was approved by the Planning Commission on July 14, 1988 for an extension of
time for Subdivision No. 86 -4 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 17937.
* An Agreement Affecting Real Property was executed on January 8, 1985 pursuant to the conditions and
mitigation measures imposed by the Planning Commission in Resolution No. 2077.

Commission in Resolution No. 2077.
* Environmental Assessment EA -268 and Development Agreement 91 -2 was approved by the City
Council on March 3, 1992 as Ordinance No. 1172. A Development Agreement was executed on
October 6, 1992 pursuant to which the City granted the Developer the right to construct the project in
accordance with the rules, regulations, zoning, and official policies exiting at the time. The
Development Agreement allowed the construction of the parking structures in the setback area between
parcel A and B without a variance.
5. The existing C -O zoning for the site is currently consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation of the
site for Corporate Office. The subject proposal is consistent with the intent of the Corporate Office zoning
designation by allowing for research and development uses east of Sepulveda Blvd. and by contributing to the
Corporate headquarters for the applicant.
6. The development rights have been transferred from the original developer with the City's approval. The office
building and parking structure on Parcel 1 have been completed. The developer originally received building
permit approvals for Phase II in April 1987. The building permits for Phase II have expired.
7. The surrounding area to the west, north and south is developed with office uses and hotels. To the east is vacant
land, with office and warehouse uses east of Nash Street. The properties to the north, west, and south are zoned
Corporate Office (CO), and to the east is zoned Urban Mixed -Use North (MU -N).
8. The project site is located within the northeast portion of the City of El Segundo, approximately one mile west

,•,.,Vrnn�T *��'NTAL ASSESSMENT
1. The Draft Initial Study was made available 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 Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact will be prepared pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
2. That when considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project will have the potential for an
adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the project is in a built -
out urban environment; and
3. That the Planning Commission thereby recommends that the City Council authorize and direct 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.
The applicant is requesting approval of an amended Development Agreement pursuant to the provisions of state
law and City Council Resolution No. 3268.
The Developer shall be required to provide a minimum of 614 parking spaces.
3. The amended Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and
programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan.
4. The amended Development Agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed
for, the land use district in which the real property is located.
5. The amended Development Agreement is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land
use practice.
6. The amended Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare.
7. The amended Development Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the
preservation of property values.
GFNF,RAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
I. That the proposed use is consistent with the following General Plan Land Use Policy: LU 4 -3.4. This policy
encourages employers to provide incentives for the use of public transportation, should be considered when
evaluating conformance with the General Plan.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the following General Plan Policies and Objectives related to circulation:
C 1 -3.2, C 2 -5, C 2 -5.1, C 2 -5.2, and C 3 -2.1. These issues relate to the provision of parking also should be
considered.

COMMUNICATI
Ms. Jester stated that there are two communications that will ONS
presented when their respective items come up. One is from the
City of Los Angeles regarding the Hyperion Scattergood Digester
Pipeline and the other is from Continental Development
Corporation regarding the McCormick & Schmick's application,
which is before the Commission tonight.
The Agenda will be changed so that EA -418 will be presented before
EA -419.
NEW BUSINESS
The first Item was presented, EA -425, Development Agreement EA -425
Amendment 97-1 (First amendment to the Development Agreement for
EA-268). Applicant: Olympia Bend Associates and Tennis World
Associates for Continental Grand Plaza (Mr. David Gaulton). Mr.
Garry read the Staff Report as outlined in the Agenda Packet.
Chairman Crowley asked if both parcels are owned by the same party.
Mr. Garry stated that they are. Chairman Crowley stated that the
amendment is a question of whether or not the neighbor would be
against connecting the parking structure and if there is a covenant
09- 25min.PC 1
established that runs with the land or not. He questioned if there DRAFT
would be a recording of the fact that the parking structure can flow
through. Mr. Garry stated that the Development Agreement
Amendment has language which would require the joining of the two
structures. There was also an Agreement Regarding Reciprocal Access
Recreation and Emergency Access that was entered into in 1988, when
the original project was approved to handle some of those issues as well.
That is still in effect and would still apply regardless of the ownership
of the two properties.
Commissioner Palmer questioned why, on Page 2, in the second
paragraph, it wasn't initially agreed on that more parking would be
provided than what was required at that time. Mr. Garry stated it was
just proposed by the applicant to have the additional parking spaces
beyond what the Code required. Although the actual original approvals
only required that 1 parking space be provided per 250 square feet of
floor area, the owners planned to provide more. Ms. Jester stated that
in the early 1980's, based on the development that occurred in town as
well as in Los Angeles, that was how development was actually done.
They wanted a lot of parking spaces and tenants demanded a lot of
parking, therefore, there are a lot of buildings that are over - parked
based on the demands of the tenants.
Commissioner Boulgarides stated that he was under the impression
that compact parking spaces are not allowed in El Segundo. Ms. Jester
stated that compacts spaces are allowed everywhere, except in retail
areas.
David Gaulton, representiing the applicant
The ownership of both properties is controlled by the same parties.
This Agreement will be recorded, in addition to the previous
Agreements, to signify the requirement to integrate the two parking
structures.
Chairman Crowley feels they have a thorough statement by the
Planning Staff in order to give the justification that it is in conformance
with the General plan and Zoning Code. The Development Agreement
has already been in existance for a long time. Although it is a bit of a
tradeoff, they have shown statistically that enough parking is provided,
and with integrated structure, there should continue to be enough
parking. In addition, the Greenline is available. One might argue that
FAR is changed, but tha-es part of an existing Development Agreement
and the actual measured usage in requirements for parking is lower. 00045

He feels this is a good change and they get the payoff where they get
the current Code of landscaping and also the compact spaces. He DRAFT
prefers the 8 1/2 foot wide parking spaces, although the only real
difference is in the length of the parking space, rather than the width.
He feels this will be a benefit for the City.
Vice -Chair Wycoff stated that he is glad that the applicant agreed to
widen the parking spots so that people can open their doors without
bumping them into the car parked next to them. An especially
favorable portion of the Amendment is that the owner plans to upgrade
the landscaping to the current Code.
Commissioner Palmer asked if the impact fees discussed in the
Development Agreement are part of the building permit request at this
point in time. Ms. Jester stated with a Development Agreement, the
development fees that are required are set. For example, they do not
have to pay the traffic mitigation fee. However, this clause does allow
Staff to charge additional fees up to a maximum of three cents per
gross square foot for other types of impact fees.
Commissioner Palmer stated that in the General Plan, there are cases
that show some streets are to be elongated, and as some of these new
developments come to pass, it could end up that they might want to
have something like an assessment district in order to try and facilitate
some of the current General Plan characteristics. She then asked if
there is a way to legally have the applicants agree to participate in any
subsequent need for an assessment district in applications such as this.
Mr. Rozell stated yes, they could require this, but the issue being
presented is whether or not the Commission is going to make these
Development Agreement Amendments and they really cannot change
the terms of what is before them tonight. Commissioner Boulgarides
stated that in the same paragraph, it states that the City may also
collect fees related to an assessment district provided the assessment is
applied uniformly throughout the benefit area. He questioned whether
or not this would address the same thing they are discussing, namely
that the applicant is agreeing to a subsequent assessment as long as it's
not onerous to them. Mr. Rozell stated that it is, up to the amount of
the cap. The Commission does have some ability to impose
assessments, but it's not bottomless. Chairman Crowley stated it is also
controlled by wording the of Proposition 218.
Chairman Crowley stated that in the 1988 General Plan traffic
statistics, the traffic problem was grim. That year was the peak.

Commissioner Palmer asked about the issues of landscaping. Ms.

Resolution incorporates the Development Agreement Amendment by

Vice -Chair Wycoff stated he read through the five conditions and had
no problem with any of them.

SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment EA 425, Development Agreement 97 -1
Amendment to Grand Plaza Development Agreement
Address: 400 and 444 Continental Boulevard
Applicant and Property Owner: Olympia Bend Associates & Tennis World
Associates
The applicant is requesting approval of an Environmental Assessment and a Development
Agreement Amendment to modify a previously approved Development Agreement to reduce the
amount of parking for a six -story office structure with approximately 233,700 square feet, from a total
of 963 parking spaces (858 in a parking structure and 105 in a surface parking lot) to a total of 614
parking spaces. An Amendment to the Agreement Affecting Real Property (AARP) may also be
required.
The Planning Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2401
recommending that the City Council approve Environmental Assessment EA-425 and Development
Agreement 97 -1 (Amendment); and, find that there are no potential environmental impacts created
by the project.
The Staff report prepared on January 9, 1992 for approval of the original Development Agreement
(Attached) by the Planning Commission provides a detailed background of the prior approvals and
other documents which have been developed to implement the overall project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project consists of amending a Development Agreement for the construction of Phase 2 of a
previously approved project. Phase II will consist of a 233,700 square foot office building. The office
structure is a sister building to the existing six -story office building on the site. The building will be
on the northerly 4.17 acres of the project site.
The amended Development Agreement would provide for a total of 614 parking spaces for Phase
II. The developer would be permitted to provide additional parking spaces but could not be required
to do so under the amended Development Agreement. The original Development Agreement was
approved in 1992 for the provision of 963 spaces, which exceeded the 779 parking spaces required
at the time. In 1993, the Zoning Code was amended to reduce the required parking for an office
project greater than 25,000 square feet. Under these current standards the proposed 233,700
square feet building would require 614 parking spaces. The 614 parking spaces now proposed for
the project would be 349 fewer spaces than required by the original Development Agreement, but
would be the required amount today under the current Zoning Code if the project was being
proposed for the first time.
The revised Development Agreement also specifies the number of compact parking spaces which
may be constructed. Twenty (20) percent of the required 614 parking spaces may be compact, plus
any spaces constructed in addition to the required parking spaces. Thus, 491 of the 614 required
parking spaces would be standard size and the 123 remaining parking spaces of the 614 total
spaces could be compact. Staff has specified in the revised Agreement that the first 123 compact
spaces would have to meet the current Zoning Code size standard of 8' /z feet wide by 15 feet long,
instead of the standard in effect when the Development Agreement was approved (7' /z feet wide
by 15 feet long). Any extra compact parking spaces provided by the developer could be 7' /z feet
wide by 15 feet long. As with all standard, unless the new standard is specified in the amended
Development Agreement, the project would be subject to the standards in effect at the time of the
approval of the original Development Agreement. A Development Agreement locks in the
development standard in effect when approved. Staff feels it appropriate, given the benefit to the
developer of reducing the number of spaces which must be constructed, as well as a vested right
to develop, that the compact spaces which are constructed meet the most recent standard
established by the City Council in 1996
The amended Development Agreement also includes language to clarify that the parking structure
must be internally integrated with the existing six -story parking structure built as part of Phase I, to
ensure that there is easy access from each parking level to each of the two buildings.
The amended Development Agreement also contains language to require the landscaping for
Phase II to be in conformance with the current landscaping standards in Section 20.12.170 B.1. of
the Zoning Code. These standards require trees in the Vehicular Use Area (VUA) which were not
required in 1992 when the Development Agreement was approved.
The site is currently vacant and is relatively level with very little vegetation. The site is unpaved,
contains no unique geologic features, and is trapezoid shape. The project site is located in the
Corporate Office (CO) Zone, which is consistent with the City's General Plan land use designation
on the site of Corporate Office.

The project site is located within the northeast portion of the City of El Segundo, approximately one
mile west of the San Diego (1 -405) Freeway and one -half mile south of the Glenn Anderson (1 -105)
Freeway. The Metro Green Line Light Rail and the closest station at El Segundo Boulevard and
Mariposa Street are located approximately one - quarter mile to the northeast of the project site.
Local jurisdictions near the site include the City of Los Angeles located north of Imperial Highway,
the City of Manhattan Beach located south of Rosecrans Avenue, and the City of Hawthorne located
east of Aviation Boulevard. The surrounding area to the west, north and south is developed with
office uses and hotels. To the east is vacant land, with office and warehouse uses east of Nash
Street. The properties to the north, west, and south are zoned Corporate Office (CO), and to the
east is zoned Urban Mixed -Use North (MU -N).
Surrounding land uses are as follows:
North:
Office, Hotel
South:

East:
Vacant
West:

Corporate Office (CO)
Corporate Office (CO)
Mixed -Use North (MU -N)
Corporate Office (CO)
In accordance with Section 20.34.010 of the El Segundo Municipal Code, the Corporate Office (CO)
Zone is established to provide area(s) suitable for the development of office projects. Regulations
are designed to promote and control their growth in a favorable environment to all abutting and
surrounding land uses. It is important to note that the project was zoned General Commercial (C -3)
when the project was originally approved in 1985 and when the Development Agreement was
approved in 1992. The C -3 zone was also intended to provide for commercial development and
offices were a permitted use.
The following site development standards apply to new projects in the C -3 Zone:
CO ZONE PROPOSED
REQUIREMENTS STANDARDS PROJECT
Parking Spaces 614 spaces 614 spaces
The developer has also conducted parking counts for the Phase I office building on the adjacent
property to estimate the level of actual parking demand for the proposed project. The survey showed
that on two separate occasions peak parking demand for the 1024 available parking spaces was
567 and 493 spaces, respectively. The occupancy of the building at the time that these counts were
conducted was 97.35 %. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that 614 parking spaces should be
sufficient to meet the parking demand for the proposed Phase II office building. Additionally,
because the two parking structures will be joined together, occupants of the Phase II building would
be able to utilize the surplus parking spaces in the Phase I parking structure as well.

As stated in the Planning Commission Staff Report for the original Development Agreement, the
floor area ratio (FAR) for the project is 1.28, which was in conformance with the FAR requirements
of the C -3 Zone (1.5 FAR or 2.0 FAR with an approved Transportation Management Plan) then in
effect, but would exceed the current 0.8 FAR standard for the CO Zone. This level of development
is vested by the original Development Agreement and is not proposed to be altered by the amended
Development Agreement.
Development Agreement
The applicant is requesting approval of an amendment to a Development Agreement pursuant to
the provisions of State law and City Council Resolution No. 3268. A Development Agreement vests
to the developer the right to construct the intended land use and intensity. Vesting a right to
construct means that the developer has a guaranteed right for a specified period of time to build an
approved project regardless of subsequent planning, zoning or other land use decisions in the City
that might otherwise have affected the developer's property. The terms, conditions, schedule and
fiscal commitments are essential parts of a Development Agreement, and are subject to public
hearing approval by the Planning Commission and City Council and adoption of a Resolution by the
City Council
The approved Development Agreement contains the following provisions:
• Developer shall have a term of eight (8) years to pull building permits.
• The developer shall develop the property in accordance with the applicable provisions of
Planning Commission Resolution Nos. 2077 and 2154 (these are the original Resolutions
approving the EIR and the Subdivision).
• Developer shall develop in accordance with applicable provisions of the previously recorded
Agreement Affecting Real Property (AARP) and the previously recorded Agreement
Regarding Reciprocal Access, Recreation and Emergency Access. (The Assistant City
Attorney is currently reviewing the Agreement Affecting Real Property to determine if an
Amendment will be required)
• The developer shall develop the project in substantial conformance with plans approved by
the City and outlined in the "Description of Project" contained in the Development
Agreement.
• Developer may not modify the project without City approval. The Director of Planning and
Building Safety shall have the authority to determine minor vs. major revisions/alterations
and shall require Planning Commission /City Council approval if appropriate.
• City reserves the right to impose additional impact fees not currently called out on the
approving resolutions or Development Agreement that may be in effect at the time applicant
request building permits, provided however that the City fee does not exceed an additional
0.03 cents per square foot of building area. The City may also collect fees related to an
assessment district provided the assessment is applied uniformly throughout the benefit
area.
4
00051
Developer may not transfer or assign the rights of this Development Agreement to another
party without the consent of the City.
The Development Agreement must be reviewed once every 12 months pursuant to
Resolution No. 3268. The City Council may also order a Special Review at any time
provided the developer is provided two weeks advance notice.
Resolution No. 3268 requires that the Planning Commission make the following determinations in
its recommendation to the City Council. That the proposed Development Agreement:
1. is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the
general plan and any applicable specific plan;
2. is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use
district in which the real property is located;
3. is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice;
4. will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare;
5. will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property
values.
The General Plan land use designation for the site currently is Corporate Office. This designation
permits a mixture of office and food - serving uses in single tenant or multi- tenant buildings with
limited retail uses permitted in the lobby area. Research and development uses are also permitted
east of Sepulveda Boulevard. The maximum floor area ratio (FAR) is 0.8. However, because a
Development Agreement (EA -268 and DA 93 -2) previously approved the development of the office
building, an amendment to the Development Agreement, is required to alter the required parking
for the project. A Development Agreement Amendment requires public hearings by the Planning
Commission and City Council. The City Council has the final decision making authority. Additional
conditions of approval, above and beyond the mitigation measures required by CEQA, may be
imposed through the Development Agreement Amendment process in order to make the required
Development Agreement findings.
Many General Plan goals, policies and objectives related to Economic Development, Land Use,
Circulation and Air Quality apply to the proposed project. Specifically, Land Use Policy LU 4 -3.4,
which encourages employers to provide incentives for the use of public transportation, should be
considered when evaluating conformance with the General Plan. Several Circulation Element
Objectives and Policies: C 1 -3.2, C 2 -5, C 2 -5.1, C 2 -5.2, and C 3 -2.1 related to the provision of
parking also should be considered. Conformance with the General Plan is a policy issue which is
determined at the discretion of the Planning Commission and the City Council.
A draft Initial Study was prepared by City Staff for the project to evaluate the potential adverse
environmental impacts related to the reduction in parking. No significant adverse environmental
5
CC�S"
impacts were identified, and a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is proposed. The draft
Initial Study is currently being circulated for City inter - departmental review and comments, as
required by City Council Resolution No. 3805 and State CEQA guidelines. A Negative Declaration
of Environmental Impacts has been prepared. A final Initial Study will be prepared by Staff based
on any mitigation measures that might be required by the Planning Commission; and based on any
comments received by other City departments. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was also
previously certified by the Planning Commission on September 26,1985 under EA -039. This project
is virtually identical to that previously covered by the certified EIR, with the exception of the reduced
parking. Staff and the City Attorney determined an Initial Study should be prepared to because the
Development Agreement Amendment is considered a project under CEQA. Therefore, a Notice of
Determination has been prepared by staff.
The project application and plans are currently being circulated to inter - departmental Staff.
Comments that are received will be incorporated as appropriate into the recommended conditions
of approval when the amended Development Agreement is reviewed by the City Council for
approval on September 16, 1997.

* Subdivision 86-4 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 17937 was approved by the Planning Commission on
August 28, 1986 as Resolution No. 2154 resulted in the division of the property into two parcels.
* Resolution No. 2219 was approved by the Planning Commission on July 14, 1988 for an extension of
time for Subdivision No. 86 -4 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 17937.
* An Agreement Affecting Real Property was executed on January 8, 1985 pursuant to the conditions and
mitigation measures imposed by the Planning Commission in Resolution No. 2077.
* An Agreement Regarding Reciprocal Access, Recreation and Emergency Access was executed on
December 5, 1988 pursuant to the conditions and mitigation measures imposed by the Planning
Commission in Resolution No. 2077.
* Environmental Assessment EA -268 and Development Agreement 91 -2 was approved by the City
Council on March 3, 1992 as Ordinance No. 1172. A Development Agreement was executed on
October 6, 1992 pursuant to which the City granted the Developer the right to construct the project in
accordance with the rules, regulations, zoning, and official policies exiting at the time. The
Development Agreement allowed the construction of the parking structures in the setback area between
parcel A and B without a variance.
5. The existing C -O zoning for the site is currently consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation of the
site for Corporate Office. The subject proposal is consistent with the intent of the Corporate Office zoning
designation by allowing for research and development uses east of Sepulveda Blvd. and by contributing to the
Corporate headquarters for the applicant.
6. The development rights have been transferred from the original developer with the City's approval. The office
building and parking structure on Parcel 1 have been completed. The developer originally received building
permit approvals for Phase H in April 1987. The building permits for Phase II have expired.
7. The surrounding area to the west, north and south is developed with office uses and hotels. To the east is vacant
land, with office and warehouse uses east of Nash Street. The properties to the north, west, and south are zoned
Corporate Office (CO), and to the east is zoned Urban Mixed -Use North (MU -N).
8. The project site is located within the northeast portion of the City of El Segundo, approximately one mile west
of the San Diego (I -405) Freeway and one -half mile south of the Glenn Anderson (I -105) Freeway. The Metro

approximately one - quarter mile to the northeast of the project site. Local jurisdictions near the site include the
City of Los Angeles located north of Imperial Highway, the City of Manhattan Beach located south of Rosecrans
Avenue, and the City of Hawthorne located east of Aviation Boulevard.
9. The proposed project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance with State
guidelines and local requirements, a Draft Initial Study and Negative Declaration was prepared and circulated
for interdepartmental review. No significant adverse impacts were identified.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above facts and study of proposed Environmental
Assessment EA -425 and Development Agreement Amendment 97 -1, the Planning Commission makes the following
findings and recommends the City Council approve an amendment to Development Agreement 91 -2 and certify the
Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts:

41�p
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ipres, 1. T he Draft Initial Study was made available for public review and comment in the time and manner ri
by law. The Initial Study concluded that the proposed project will not have a significant, adverse effect on the
environment, and a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact will be prepared pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
2. That when considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project will have the potential for an
adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the project is in a built -
out urban environment; and
3. That the Planning Commission thereby recommends that the City Council authorize and direct 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.
The applicant is requesting approval of an amended Development Agreement pursuant to the provisions of state
law and City Council Resolution No. 3268.
2. The Developer shall be required to provide a minimum of 614 parking spaces.
3. The amended Development Agreement is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and
programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan.
4. The amended Development Agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed
for, the land use district in which the real property is located.
5. The amended Development Agreement is in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good land
use practice.
6. The amended Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare.
7. The amended Development Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the
preservation of property values.
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
1. That the proposed use is consistent with the following General Plan Land Use Policy: LU 4 -3.4. This policy
encourages employers to provide incentives for the use of public transportation, should be considered when
evaluating conformance with the General Plan.
2. The proposed use is consistent with the following General Plan Policies and Objectives related to circulation:
C 1 -3.2, C 2 -5, C 2 -5.1, C 2 -5.2, and C 3 -2.1. These issues relate to the provision of parking also should be

attached hereto (the "Adjacent Property ").
D. City, pursuant to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (Public Resource Code SS 21000 at se .;
110EQA11), has prepared an environmental impact report (Environ-

E. On June 28, 1984, after conducting a duly noticed
public hearing and considering all appropriate documentation,
City's Planning Commission, by Resolution No. 2077 (passed and
approved by title on June 28, 1984 and adopted on September 26,
1985), certified the final EIR as complete, adequate and accurate
and imposed certain mitigation measures as conditions of approval

forth in such resolution as conditions to the issuance of a
building permit would be satisfied, as well as to assure that,
upon satisfaction of such mitigation measures by compliance with
all of the conditions precedent set forth in the Agreement
Affecting Real Property, building permits would be issued for the
Project and the development of the Adjacent Property. Under the
Agreement Affecting Real Property, all conditions precedent to
the issuance of building permits for the Project and the
development of the Adjacent Property have been fulfilled, and a
Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by City for the
development on the Adjacent Property, in compliance with the
conditions under the Agreement Affecting Real Property.
G. On August 28, 1986, after conducting a duly noticed
public hearing and considering all appropriate documentation,
City's Planning Commission, by Resolution No. 2154, granted with
conditions Subdivision 86 -4 /Tentative Parcel Map No. 17937,
thereby permitting and resulting in the subdivision of the
Property and the Adjacent Property into two separate parcels.

Property have been designed to be an integrated project with
reciprocal access, recreation and emergency access. The parking
structure now constructed on the Adjacent Property is located on
the property line separating the Property and the Adjacent
Property. It is anticipated that the parking structure for the
Project shall be constructed on the same property line separating
the Property and the Adjacent Property, adjacent to the existing
parking structure on the Adjacent Property. On December 5, 1988,

Property of changes in rules, regulations, laws and official
policies which are deemed necessary by City to serve health and

16540.1
safety interests of the public, as supported by appropriate
findings, or which are specifically mandated and required by
changes in state or federal statutes or regulations, as provided
for in Government Code Section 65869.5. It is the intent of City
and Developer that such changes to serve health and safety
interests of the public do not include those which are intended
to mitigate adverse environmental impacts of development in
general when the Project has or will mitigate such impacts to an
acceptable level, as set forth in the EIR. In the event any such
changes prevent or preclude compliance with one or more
provisions of this Agreement, City and Developer shall take such
action as may be required pursuant to Sections 2B and 6E of this
Agreement. This Agreement does not prevent City from denying or
conditionally approving any subsequent development project not
involving the Project, on the basis of existing or new rules,
regulations and official policies; provided, however, City agrees
that, in order to assure the adequacy of the infrastructure and
public services necessary for the Project, as set forth in the
EIR, Planning Commission Resolution No. 2077, Planning Commission
Resolution No. 2514 and the Agreement Affecting Real Property,
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2315 and City Ordinance No.
1172, and the Agreement Regarding Reciprocal Access, Recreation
and Emergency Access, City shall require projects outside of the
Property which may significantly impact the infrastructure and
public services necessary to serve the Project to mitigate any
such impacts in the manner required by CEQA and any other law,
rule, regulation or policy.
D. Subsecsuent CEQA Review. Any changes to the Project
deemed to be "substantial changes" pursuant to Public Resources
Code S 21166 shall require full compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") as determined by City. Upon
CEQA compliance any such change shall require project approvals
pursuant to the rules then in effect and amendment of this
Agreement to reflect said change. Any such change shall be
reflected in a modified Exhibit "D" and if applicable Exhibits
"A" and "B ". If mitigation required pursuant to CEQA compliance
requires modification to the Project said modification shall be
governed by the provisions of Section 2B
E. Public Benefits Fees and Other Exactions. As
consideration for the benefits of this Agreement, a pedestrian
access, ingress and egress easement has been granted in favor of
City, and Developer or its predecessor has or shall perform its
obligations under the agreements and approvals referenced
hereinabove. The parties acknowledge that the fees and other
exactions for the Project and the development of the Adjacent
Property, as set forth in Exhibit "E" attached hereto, have been
paid to City or other appropriate governmental entity and that

not be imposed by City as a condition to the development of
the
Project.

provision of this Agreement, Section 2C and 2E herein shall not
apply to the following matters relating to the development of the
Property:
(1) Processing fees and charges of every kind and
nature imposed by City to cover the estimated actual costs to
City of processing applications for development approvals for the
site, including but not limited to environmental review or for
monitoring compliance with any development approvals or CEQA
mitigation measures issued or imposed.
(2) Procedural regulations which are not substantive
relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices,
findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals
and any other matter of procedure.

National Electric Code, Uniform Fire Code and Standard
Specifications for Public Works Contracts.
(4) As provided above, City agrees, among other
things, not to impose new fees or increase or duplicate fees in
effect as of the Effective Date of this Agreement (other than
processing fees and changes as provided in 2F(1) above); but City
hereby reserves the right to impose: (i) impact fees adopted by
City after the Effective Date of this Agreement to the extent the
cumulative total of such impact fees does no exceed an
Adjusted
greater than three cents ($0.03) p square
Gross Area, as defined by Section 20.08.193 of the E1 Segundo
Municipal Code (Floor Area definition), and (ii) assessments
through an assessment district provided such assessments apply
uniformly throughout City or within a defined area of benefit
which includes the Property.
(5) It is acknowledged by the parties that other
public agencies and entities not within the control of City may
possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the
Project and the Property, including the imposition of conditions,
exactions, dedications and fees, and this Agreement does not
limit the authority of such other public agencies and entities.
G. Parking Structure: Discretionary Action of City. City
agrees that, notwithstanding the terms of the Access Agreement,
Developer shall not be required to fill in the openings in the
walls of the parking structure on the Adjacent Property which are
adjacent to the property line separating the Property and the

16RO.1
Adjacent Property so long as the commencement of construction for
the parking structure for the Project occurs prior to the
termination or expiration of this Agreement. It is understood
that the approval of this Agreement results in the approval of a
variance from the side -yard setback requirements and building
code regulations of City for the parking structure on the
Adjacent Property for the benefit of the Property and the
Adjacent Property. Said variance shall expire upon termination
of this agreement if development is not complete at said
termination.
H. Project Approvals Independent. All approvals for the
Project which may be granted pursuant to this Agreement, and all
land use entitlements or approvals generally which have been
issued or granted by City with respect to the Project and the
Property and the Adjacent Property constitute independent actions
and approvals by City. If any provision of this Agreement or the
application of any provision of this Agreement to a particular
situation is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be

The project consists of constructing Phase 2 of a previously approved project. Phase 2 will
consist of a six -story 233,700 square foot office building with no retail uses. The office
structure is a sister building to the exiatin$ elx -story office building on the site and is in
the approximate shape of an W and will be rotated roughly 90 degrees to the existing
building. The building will be located on the northerly approximate 4.44 acres of the overall
approximate 8.67 acre site.
Tha building will have a 30-36 foot setback from Continental Boulevard. The parking
structure will be located to the out of the building with a 10 foot setback from the
easterly property line and will be directly adjacent to the existing property structure
constructed to the south for Phase L
Access to the building will be via an interior circular driveway system from accessed from
Continental Boulevard that contains a dro? -off area and surface parking spaces. There will
Moo be access through another interior driveway system that is accessed at the northwest
corner of the property from Continental Boulevard. Phis last driveway system contains a
fire lane that connects with the southerly oMce buildings parking lot and driveway that
is accessed at the southeast corner of the property from Grand Avenue.
A total of 883 parking spaces will be provided in conformance with AARP requirements.
(The recorded HARP requires one space for every 260 square feet of building area).
The site plan previously approved by the Planning Commission in 1986 and proposed now,
indicate that a total of 313 spaces, or 32.6% of the overall 963 provided, will be compact
spaces. Overall the project is required only to have a minimum of 936 spaces, based on 1
Epace per every 260 square feet as required by the Agreement Affecting Real Property. The
Zoning Ordinance only re uires 779 spaces based on 1 space for every 300 square feet. The
Zoning Ordinance also allows office uses to provide a wA)dmum of 20% of the required
spaces as compact spaces. Staff has confirmed that the 32.6% compact allowed in the
original approval was based on allowing all of the spaces provided that were in excess of
what the code required, to be compact The following illustrates the numbers and analysis:
963 spaces provided
-779 spaces reauired by Code
184 spaces above code
166 - 26% of 779
+ 184 - spaces above code requirement
340 - spaces eligible for compact
The office structure will be constructed with concrete, steel and glass consist with it's sister
building to the south. The parking structure will also be constructed with exterior building
materials consist with the existing structure to the south that it will adjoin.
Plans also show that an outdoor basketball court will be constructed on the site, to
complement the existing volleyball court and exercise weight room that were constructed
for Phase 1. These improvements are required by the approved Recreation Facilities Plan.

The applicant originally received building permit approvals for both Phase 1 and Phase 2
in April 1987, and Phase 1 was constructed. The building permits for Phase 2 have expired
and the applicant is now seeking new approvals for the exact same Phase 2 project
previously approved by the City.
PR ECT-DEMMMM
The project consists of constructing Phase 2 of a previously approved project. Phase 2 will
consist of a six -story 233,700 square foot office building with no retail uses. The office
structure is a sister building to the enstu sue -story office building on the site and is in
the approximate shape of an W and will be rotated roughly 90 degrees to the existing
building. The building will be located on the northerly approximate 4.44 acres of the overall
approximate 8.57 acre site.
The building will have a 30.36 foot setback from Continental Boulevard. The parking
structure will be located to the east of the building with a 10 foot setback from the
easterly property line and will be directly adjacent to the existing property structure
constructed to the south for Phase L
Access to the building will be via an interior circular driveway system from accessed from
Continental Boulevard that contains a drop -off area and surface parking spaces. There will
also be access through another interior driveway system that is accessed at the northwest
corner of the property from Continental Boulevard. This lad driveway ryd cot that
fire lane that is accessed at the southeast corner of the property from Grand Avenue. driveway
A total of 963 parking spaces will be provided in conformance with requirements.
(The recorded AARP requires one space for every 250 square feet
The site plan previously approved by the Planning Commission in o and proposed now,
indicate that a total of 313 spaces, or 32.5% of the overall 963 provid vided, will be compact
spaces. Overall the project is required only to have a minimum of 935 spaces, based on 1
apace per every 250 square feet as regwred by the Agreement Affecting Real Property. The
Zoning Ordinance only requires 779 spaces based on 1 space for every 300 square feet. The
Zoning Ordinance also allows office uses to provide a maxnmum of 20% of the required
spaces as compact spaces. Staff has confirmed that the 32.5% compact allowed in the
o apps was based on allowing all of the spaces provided that were in excess of
what code requir4 to be compel. The following illustrates the numbers and analysis:
968 spaces provided 779 InaM by Code
. 184 spaces above code

The office structure will be constructed with concrete, steel and glass consist with it's sister
building to the south. The parking structure will also be constructed with exterior building
materials consist with the existing structure to the south that it will adjoin.
Plans also show that an outdoor basketball court will be constructed on the site, to
complement the existing volleyball court and exercise weight room that were constructed
for Phase 1. These improvements are required by the approved Recreation Facilities Plan.
As mentioned earlier, an Environmental Impact Report was previously certified by the
P lanning Commission on September 26, 1986 under EA-039. This pro ed is identical to that
previously covered by the certified EIR and therefore a Notice T Exemption has been
prepared by staff. The original certified EIR is attached to this report for your information.

The project application and planswertsi ul the inter-departmental anal sta�f of approval
received are incorporated a$ appropriate
contained in the draft Resolution.
The Public Works Department is recommending one new significant improvement condition
as follows:
Developer shall design and construct a left turn pocket for northbound Continental
Boulevard to go northbound on Grand Avenue, and perform the necessary traffic
signal modifications and existing median street light relocations for this purpose.
Since this improvement was not called for in the original EIR or City approvals, Planning
staff has not incorporated it into the draft Resolution at this time. We do recommend,
however, that you consider this request and have asked Public Works staff to be in
attendance at the hearing to discuss it with you.

The project complies with all applicable standards of the C-3 zone as demonstrated by the
following chart:

• The C-3 zone permits a FAR of 1.5 without an approved Transportation System
Management Plan (TSM), and a FAA of 2.0 with an approved TSM plan. This project is
covered by a TSM plan approved in February, 19M and is therefore permitted the higher
FAR
•• Code requires one space per every 300 square feet. The recorded HARP, however,
requires one space per every 250 square feet, or 935 spaces.
At your December 12 meeting, the Commission asked if the existing TSM Plan had been
reviewed for effectivenees. The approved TSM Plan, attached for your convenience, does
quire that an audit be submitted on an annual basis. The applicant has submitted leasing
re
information attached which indicates that the existing office structure has never been
completely leased, making an evaluation difficult. Once the project is "r leased, it will
be appropriate for the audits to be submitted and reviewed. All of the recommended
mitigation measures identified in the TSM Plan have been complied with by the developer.
The Commission also inquired about oom data for traffic The certified EIR
previously certified EIR was written in anuw7, 1984, and relied primarily on data
generated through various sources in 1982 and 1983. The 1984 EIR projected a total of
5,750 trips per day would be generated by Phases 1 and 2. The 1984 EUt also indicated
the following project specific impacts on intersection conditions. Planning Commission
should note that the 19U EIR used traffic projections to 1987 as the basis for its
evaluation of impact.

as its base. The General Plan Advisory Committee directed that the 1988 data be used,
and not 1990 /91 data, as it was felt that the 1988 data represented a 'worst case' scenario.

recommendation as they advised that a review of selected data resources found that traffic

The documents related to prior approvals do not give an indication of how the required fee
was calculated, only the total amount due, for pedestrian/bicycle improvements, school
district development, traffic improvement fee, and police service fee. The capital
contribution for fire equipment and the fire life /safety fee were calculated based on $0.11
per square foot, including parking structures. At this tune, the applicant has paid all fees
previously required.
The Commission also inquired about the design of handicap loading /unloading areas.
Handicap provisions are governed by State law and cannot be waived. The proposed
Development Agreement specifically requires that the applicant comply with all handicap
regulations in effect at the time they pull building permits. This will be administered by
the Building Safety Department as part of the plan check process.
5 00107
The applicant is requesting approval of a Development Agreement pursuant to the
provisions of state law and City Council Resolution No. 3268. A Development Agreement
vests to the developer the right to construct the intended land use and intensity. Vesting
a right to construct means that the developer has a guaranteed right for a specified period
of time to build an approved project regardless of subsequent planning, zoning or other
land use decisions in the City that might otherwise have affected the developer property.
The terms, conditions, schedule and fiscal commitments are essential parts of a
Development Agreement, and are subject to public hearing approval by the Planning
Commission and City Council and adoption of an Ordinance by the City Council.
The Development Agreement contains the following key provisions:
• Developer shall have a term of eight (8) years to pull building permits.
• The developer shall develop the property in accordance with the applicable
provisions of Planning Commission Resolution Noe. 2077 and 2154. (these are the
original Resolutions approving the EIR and the Subdivision).
• Developer shall develop in accordance with applicable provisions of the previously
recorded Agreement Affecting Real Property and the previously recorded Agreement
Regarding Reciprocal Access, Recreation and Emergency Access.
• The developer shall develop the project in substantial conformance with plans

SECTION 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is a request to amend a previously approved Development Agreement for a
six story, 233,700 square foot office building to be constructed at 400 Continental Boulevard. The
purpose of the Amendment is to allow a minimum of 614 parking spaces on the property, instead
of 963 spaces as required by the original Development Agreement. The proposed project is the
second phase of a project which includes a similar six -story 233,700 square foot office building and
parking structure which has been completed at 300 Continental Boulevard. The proposed parking
spaces will be divided between a new parking structure and surface parking. The proposed parking
structure would be constructed on the rear of the property abutting the existing six -story parking
structures for the 300 Continental Boulevard building.
SECTION 2.0 DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The project site is located in the Corporate Office (CO) Zone, which is consistent with the City's
General Plan land use designation on the site of Corporate Office. The project site is located within
the northeast portion of the City of El Segundo, approximately one mile west of the San Diego (1-
405) Freeway and one -half mile south of the Glenn Anderson (1 -105) Freeway. The Metro Green
Line Light Rail and the closest station at El Segundo Boulevard and Mariposa Street is located
approximately one - quarter mile to the northeast of the project site. Local jurisdictions near the site
include the City of Los Angeles located north of Imperial Highway, the City of Manhattan Beach
located south of Rosecrans Avenue, and the City of Hawthorne located east of Aviation Boulevard.
The site is currently vacant and is relatively level with very little vegetation. The site is unpaved,
contains no unique geologic features, and is a trapezoid shape. The surrounding area to the west,
north and south are developed with office uses and hotels. To the east is vacant land, with office
and warehouse uses east of Nash Street. The properties to the north, west and south are zoned
Corporate Office (CO), and to the east is zoned Urban Mixed -Use North (MU -N).
There are no known endangered plant species associated with the project site and none that are
known to be associated with the immediate project locale. Similarly, there are no known rare or
endangered animal species associated with the project site or project locale and no known animal
life is located on the project site. Further, there are no known cultural, historic, or scenic resources
of recognized value located within the project site nor in the immediate vicinity.
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 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.
00111
SECTION 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
1. LAND USE PLANNING
The General Plan land use designation for the site is Corporate Office. This designation allows
offices with limited support retail and research and development uses at a maximum floor area ratio
(FAR) of 0.8. The site is zoned CO (Corporate Office), which permits general offices, medical - dental
offices, restaurants, public uses, and research and development uses. When the project was
originally approved in 1985, the property was zoned General Commercial (C -3).
The FAR of 1.28 would exceed the current standard of the CO Zone (0.8) but is less than the 2.0
FAR standard for the C -3 Zone in effect at the time of approval of the original project (1985) and
Development Agreement (1992). No change in the proposed density is proposed as part of this
project.
As previously discussed, the land uses surrounding the project site consist of office, research and
development uses, and hotels. The project is not expected to produce significant impacts in the
pattern or scale of existing development on the project site or in the general area of the project.
Additionally, there are no agricultural land uses within the project vicinity that could be impacted.
2. POPULATION AND HOUSING
In 1996, the City of El Segundo had a permanent population of approximately 16,050 and a daytime
population of approximately 56,000. This resident to employee ratio has contributed to a relatively
high demand for housing within the City. In 1995, a total of approximately 7,325 dwelling units
existed in El Segundo. All residences in the City are located west of Sepulveda Boulevard, while
non - residential uses are located predominantly to the east. The project site is not within the
residential area, and is surrounded by commercial and industrial uses. Development of the
proposed project would not alter the expected distribution of population. Additionally, the proposed
project does not propose the development or demolition of any residential land uses, and would not
directly generate permanent population growth in the City.
The proposed project will bring new employment to the area, will increase the City's daytime
population, and potentially generate new permanent population from employees relocating near the
site. The number of employees will be consistent with the employee level described and analyzed
in the original EIR (948 -1168 per building). No significant impact was identified in the EIR, nor is any
significant impact anticipated now.
3. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS
The project site consists of 4.17 acres of unimproved land consisting. The site is essentially level,
thus the potential for landslides and mudslides is non - existent. The project development would
require minimal grading, thereby resulting in minimal changes in topography. Exposure of soils to
additional erosion factors would also not be expected.
The issuance of a grading permit as a standard condition of approval will ensure slope stability and
any erosion will be controlled during construction. There are no unique geological or physical
features on the project site. Therefore, the project will not impact unique features. The project will
not increase or change deposition /erosion either off- or on -site; and the project will not modify any
body of water as a result of erosion or deposition. Compliance with local storm water and urban
runoff regulations will also be required.
2
00112
The site is located within the seismically active Southern California region; therefore, site occupants
would be subject to similar seismic risks as other commercial developments of a comparable size
which are located in the vicinity of the project. However, no known geologic features exist on the
site, and no known active or potential active faults are located on or near the proposed site.
Therefore, the risk of surface rupture due to faulting is considered remote, as is the potential for
ground failure or other seismic hazards. In addition, development on the project site would comply
with all applicable City building guidelines, restrictions, and permit requirements as contained in the
Uniform Building Code (UBC) and the El Segundo Municipal Code. Development of the proposed
project would, therefore, have a less than significant impact on topography and soils, and would not
expose people or property to significant geologic hazards. No mitigation is required.
4, WATER
The project site is located on 4.17 acres of unimproved land and is essentially level. There is no
paving or asphalt on the property to impede percolation of on -site water into the groundwater table.
On -site surface water run -off is influenced by the existing topography of the project site. No water
conveyance structures (e.g., culverts), which are designed to convey on -site surface water flows to
off -site facilities, are currently located on -site. Surface flows which are not absorbed on -site within
the property drain off -site into adjacent surface streets and eventually to storm drains which drain
into the Pacific Ocean.
The project site is located within an urbanized environment, and is not near any surface water
bodies or within a flood plain designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or in any
area subject to flooding.
Development of the parcel would introduce urban contaminants (i.e., tire wear residue, oil and
grease, fertilizers, etc.) to the site which are not currently present. However, these are not expected
to be in sufficient quantities to degrade on -site surface water run -off or groundwater quality. Existing
absorption rates and drainage patterns would change, as proposed improvements (i.e., building,
surface parking lot, etc.) would increase the amount of pervious surfaces presently located on -site.
Proposed landscaped areas would permit some surface water absorption. Given the increase in
imperviousness, drainage volumes would decrease, and surface water run -off generated by the
project site would continue to be collected by storm drains located along Continental Boulevard and
directed via culverts to the Pacific Ocean.
Site run -off and absorption rates will be calculated and analyzed by a licensed civil engineer, who
will develop a design to facilitate drainage via the existing storm sewer system currently serving the
site. Any improvements will be required to be completed by the project applicant. The design of the
site drainage system has not been finalized; however, an engineered drainage system of area inlets
and catch basins should accommodate anticipated runoff requirements within the existing storm
sewer system. The project will be required to comply with the City's Storm Water and Urban Run -off
Pollution Prevention Control Ordinance (No. 1235) and the Water Conserving Landscape Ordinance
(No. 1194) and Resolution (No. 3806). A National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Permit from the State Water Resources Control Board will be not be required because the site is
less than 5 acres in size; the City's local requirements will regulate runoff.
During construction, the displacement of earth could temporarily cause a change in drainage
patterns. New patterns will be established once the project is completed. All drainage during and
after construction will be required to drain into drainage facilities in accordance with plans and
permits approved by the Department of Planning and Building Safety and the Public Works
3
00113
Department. Adjacent properties will be required to be protected from drainage and erosion in
accordance with standard code requirements.
Significant impacts to water availability are not anticipated by the project. While the proposed
development would represent a continuation of the region's urbanizing trend, it would not result in
significant impacts to ocean or groundwater quality, absorption rates, drainage patterns, surface run-
off water, or the amount of available water. The original EIR considered drainage impacts to be
non - significant. There are no new impacts anticipated and no mitigation beyond the standard
permits is required.
5. AIR QUALITY
The proposed project (the reduction in parking spaces) does not include any land use, activity, or
source that would produce any significant changes in dust, ash, smoke, fumes or odors in the
vicinity, nor would it cause any significant alterations in the air movements, moisture or air
temperature. The South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) CEQA Air Quality
Handbook thresholds (Table 6 -3) for signifcant impacts would not apply to this project because
there is no change in the project which would increase the emissions above the levels reviewed and
certified in the previous EIR. Therefore, there will be no impact and no mitigation will be required
for the operation of the facilities.
6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION
A EIR for the original project contains an analysis of the anticipated demand for parking for the
proposed project. A total of 1968 parking spaces would be provide for both office buildings. This
equates to one parking space for every 237.5 square feet of floor area. At the time of original
approval, 935 parking spaces were required (1 per 250 square feet) for just the Phase II building
which was the subject of the Development Agreement. At the time the Development Agreement was
approved, the Zoning Code for the C -3 Zone had been amended to require one space for each 300
square feet. However, the Development Agreement was approved for the provision of 963 spaces
(1 per 243 square feet), which exceeded the 779 required parking at the time spaces. In 1993, the
Zoning Code was amended to reduce the required parking for office project greater than 25,000
square feet. Under the current standards the proposed 233,700 square feet building would require
614 parking spaces. The developer of the project has requested an amendment to the Development
Agreement to provide a minimum of 614 parking spaces for the project, which is 349 spaces fewer
than required by the Development Agreement, but equal to the number of spaces which would be
required today if the project was being proposed for the first time. If approved, the ratio there would
be 1 parking space for every 380 square feet of floor area.
The City's current parking standards were developed to account for the reduced parking demand
required by larger projects than might previously been needed due to the impacts of ridesharing,
proximity of large office uses in the City to the Metro Green Line, and the requirements of the City's
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) regulations. The experience of the City has been that
the reduced parking requirements for office and commercial uses has not led to a shortage of
parking spaces, which would impact on- street parking and neighboring properties. Additionally, the
applicant has conducted parking counts for the existing Phase I building on the adjacent property
and found that even with 90% occupancy of the building for the past five years the demand for
parking has been far below the amount of parking provided on the property. Additionally, the
reduction in parking would not increase the traffic generated by the project, because traffic
generation is a function of the floor area of the building, not a function of the amount of parking
2
00114
provided. Therefore, the reduction in parking will not have significant impact and no mitigation is
required.
The project will not be subject to the City's Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee Program adopted on May
21, 1996 (Resolution No. 3969), because the original Development Agreement was approved prior
to the adoption of the City's Program.
7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
There are no known rare, unique or endangered plant or animal species associated with the project
site or within the immediate vicinity. The site is is primarily covered with weedy vegetation and
tumbleweed, as originally stated in the EIR. Development of the proposed project would include
additional landscaping consisting of plant species which readily adapt to urban environments and
drought tolerant plant species as required by City regulations. Therefore, the proposed
development will not produce significant changes to the number of rare or endangered plant species
in the project area (including trees, shrubs, grass, crops, and micro flora).
The project site and immediate locale are not known to contain any rare or endangered animal
species. Since the project site is located within a highly developed urban area, the potential for
animal life on -site is very limited and may only include species that have adapted to such
environments. Development of the proposed project would represent a continuation of a regional
urbanizing trend which has permanently altered wildlife habitat in the area. Given the very limited
animal life on -site, the proposed project would not produce significant impacts to the number of rare
or endangered species or specimens in the project area, nor would result in significant changes in
the diversity of species, reduction in numbers, or deterioration of valuable animal habitats. The
original EIR concluded there were no significant impacts biological resources. This conclusion has
not changed. Therefore, no mitigation is required.
8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
The proposed amendment to the Development Agreement will not alter the project impacts as
analyzed in the original EIR with respect to the consumption of renewable and non - renewable
natural resources in the form of building materials during construction, and water and fossil fuels
during project operation. The project site is currently undeveloped, thus development on the site
would result in a increase in the consumption of natural resources including fossil fuels in the form
of electricity and natural gas; however, consumption is expected to be marginal and would be
considered insignificant relative to cumulative consumption volumes throughout the City of El
Segundo and the airport area as a whole. The proposed office building project would be expected
to consume natural resources at relatively low rates, and impacts to energy and mineral resources
would therefore be considered insignificant. It is anticipated that existing supplies and infrastructure
are adequate to meet the potential additional demands for water and wastewater facilities. In
addition, the proposed project would comply with all applicable statutes and regulations set forth in
the Uniform Building Code, and all applicable State resource conservation measures.
Southern California Edison Company and the Gas Company are the suppliers of electricity and
natural gas to the project site. Existing fuel supplies and infrastructure should be adequate to meet
the project's needs. The proposed project would comply with all applicable statues and regulations
set forth by the respective energy companies, in addition to all applicable State energy conservation
measures. Therefore, the proposed project is not expected to result in significant increases in fossil
fuel consumption or to produce any significant impacts upon the use, extraction or conservation of
any natural resources, and no mitigation is required.
5
coils
9. HAZARDS
The proposed amendment to the Development Agreement will not alter the project impacts as
analyzed in the original EIR related to hazards.
The proposed project would utilize common cleaning solutions, disposed of in accordance with
applicable statutes. Although the use of these materials would be considered an increase over
existing circumstances since the site is currently vacant, the amount to be used represents a
marginal increase and is considered insignificant when compared to the total use of hazardous
materials in the City and airport area as a whole. Based on the amount of hazardous materials
stored, the nature of the packaging, the materials involved, and the project's compliance with
applicable regulations, the risk from the project is considered minor. Use and storage of explosives
is not expected with the construction or operation of the proposed project. Based on the foregoing,
the proposed project will have a less than significant impact regarding the use, disposal, or release
of potentially hazardous materials, and no mitigation is required.
Currently, the project site is accessible to emergency vehicles via Continental Boulevard and Grand
Avenue. Based on project generated traffic volumes detailed in the original Traff ic Impact Study,
no unmitigatable traffic impacts are foreseen with development of the proposed project, and
evacuation plans and procedures would be incorporated into building design. Therefore, the project
is not expected to interfere with emergency response or evacuation plans and no mitigation is
required.
The project site is located within the seismically active Southern California region; therefore, the
occupants of the site would be exposed to seismic risks which are similar to those of occupants of
other structures of comparable size and scale in the surrounding area. No active or potentially
active faults are found on or near the project site and therefore potential hazards from ground
failure, surface rupture, and other seismic hazards are considered less than significant.
10. NOISE
The proposed amendment to the Development Agreement will not alter the project impacts as
analyzed in the original EIR with respect to Noise. The original EIR indicated the project would
increase the ambient noise level by less than 1.0 dBA, which was considered an insignificant
impact. The reduction of required parking spaces will not affect the previous analysis. There are no
residential uses or other land uses which would be considered sensitive to noise and vibrations
within the vicinity of the project. The nearest residential uses are approximately one -half mile to the
west.
Noise and vibration effects on the surrounding land uses are analyzed for both short-term
construction activities and long -term operation of the proposed project. Construction activities will
be mid -term in nature (approximately 12 to 14 months in duration) and will occur during permitted
hours only, as required by City regulations which restrict construction to 7 am to 6 pm Monday -
Saturday. In addition, vibration attributable to construction activities will be minimal due to the type
of construction equipment generally employed for a project of this nature.
11. PUBLIC SERVICES
The proposed amendment to the Development Agreement will not alter the project impacts as
analyzed in the original EIR related to the demands for municipal services. Police and fire services
C.1
00116
to the project site are provided by the City of El Segundo Police and Fire Departments. Water and
park services are also operated by the City of El Segundo. Sewer demands for the proposed project
will be accommodated by the County Sanitation District sewer lines and will be treated at the County
Waste Treatment in the City of Carson. School services are provided by the El Segundo Unified
School District. No impacts on public services are expected from the proposed reduction of parking
spaces.
12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
The site is currently improved and would not necessitate new utility connections. Existing utility
infrastructure beneath Grand Avenue and Continental Boulevard includes electricity, natural gas,
telephone, cable television, water, sewer, and storm drain lines. Utility services would be provided
by the appropriate purveyors, including: Southern California Edison Company, The Gas Company,
Pacific Bell, Paragon Cable, and the City of El Segundo Water Division. Given the small size of the
proposed project, it is anticipated that the existing utility lines, supplies, infrastructure and/or capacity
are adequate to serve the proposed project. The proposed development would submit all
registration forms required for service connection, and would adhere to all applicable utility permit
guidelines and restrictions.
Water utility service is provided by the City of El Segundo Water Department, which purchases
water from the West Basin Municipal Water District ( WBMWD). WBMWD recently completed the
largest water reclamation facility in the State, located in El Segundo. With this project, which initially
will process 20 million gallons per day (MGD) and ultimately 70 MGD, water supplies are anticipated
to be adequate.
Therefore, development of the proposed project is not expected to generate the need for new
utilities, nor would it cause significant alterations to existing utilities.
13. AESTHETICS
The proposed amendment to the Development Agreement will not alter the project impacts as
analyzed in the original EIR related aesthetics. The reduction in the number of required parking
spaces may cause a reduction in the height or mass of the proposed six -story parking structure.
This would decrease the visual impact of the project on the surrounding area. No change in the
office size or materials for the office building is proposed. Thus there should be no significant
adverse impacts, not already studied and mitigated in the original EIR. Therefore, no new mitigation
is required.
14. CULTURAL RESOURCES
The proposed amendment to the Development Agreement will not alter the project impacts as
analyzed in the original EIR related respect to cultural resources. The project site is currently
undeveloped, thus no historic structures exist on -site. Similarly, there are no known prehistoric sites
or objects associated with the property or located within the immediate vicinity. The surrounding
area is a fully urbanized and developed environment. No cultural, religious, or sacred uses or
activities of importance to any particular segment of the general population are known to be
associated with the project site or locale.
The potential for significant impacts to historic or prehistoric sites, cultural, paleontological,
archeological, historical or religious structures, or objects is considered remote. Further
archaeological studies are not necessary, and preservation efforts are not required as a part of
project implementation. Proposed development would not be expected to produce significant
VA
00117
impacts upon, or result in the alteration or destruction of, any historic or prehistoric site, building,
structure, or object, nor would they result in physical changes which would affect ethnic cultural
values or restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the vicinity. No further mitigation is required.
15. RECREATION
The proposed amendment to the Development Agreement will not alter the project impacts as
analyzed in the original EIR related to recreational facilities and opportunities. There are no public
parks or recreational facilities located within the immediate project vicinity. The nearest park to the
project site is Constitution Park located approximately 0.5 miles to the west of Sepulveda Boulevard
on Mariposa Avenue. Demands on parks and recreational facilities are primarily generated by
permanent residential populations; and the proposed project is not expected to significantly alter the
existing residential population. No residential development is proposed and the proposed land uses
would attract a patron and local employee population that is not expected to create a significant
impact upon recreational facilities. However, it is expected that employee populations in El Segundo
may generate a limited demand for parks and recreational facilities during peak afternoon hours.
The original project approval included a Recreational Plan to accommodate the expected
recreational needs of the employees, as indicated in the original EIR. Therefore, significant impacts
upon the quantity or quality of recreational opportunities are not expected as a result of the
proposed Amendment to the project, and no mitigation is required.
16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The proposed project is a modification to a previously analyzed project on an undeveloped site
located in an urban setting. Therefore, the project does 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 associated with the
proposed reduction in parking that will have an adverse affect on human beings.

III. DETERMINATION:
On the basis of this Initial Study of Environmental Impact, the Planning Commission of the City of El
Segundo finds the following:
X That the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
_ That although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a
significant effect in this case because mitigation measures, as described on an attached sheet, have been added
to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
_ That the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required.
_ That the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by
mitigation measures based on earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the impact is "potentially
significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated." An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is
required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed.
_ I find that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant
effect in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to an earlier EIR, including
revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

On March September 26, 1985, the Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo certified a Environmental
7
00125
Impact Report (EIR) and adopted mitigation measures for a project consisting of two six -story office towers of
233,700 square feet each, two six story parking structures, and two surface parking lots on an 8.57 acre parcel at
the northeast corner of Grand Avenue and Continental Boulevard (300, 400, and 444 Continental Boulevard and
2111 East Grand Avenue. On March 3, 1992, the City Council of the City of El Segundo approved a Development
Agreement for the construction of the second phase of the development and determined that the project was
covered by the previously certified EIR and no further mitigation was required.
b) Impacts adequately addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects
were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
The scope of the project has not been increased by the proposed amendment to the Development Agreement.
Therefore, all the impacts in the checklist above were adequately addressed in the previously certified EIR.
However, due to the fact that the original EIR was prepared twelve years ago and a reduction in the number of
parking spaces is proposed, a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts has been prepared to address all
potential impacts.
c) Mitigation measures. For effects that are 'Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated," describe the
mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they
address site - specific conditions for the project.

ATTACHMENT TO INITIAL STUDY APPLICANT
QUESTIONNAIRE FOR APPLICATION FOR
AMENDMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Olympia Bend Associates, a California Limited Partnership and Tennis World
Associates, a California Limited Partnership ( "Developer") with offices in El Segundo,
requests an amendment to development agreement for property which it owns at 400
Continental Boulevard, just north of Grand Avenue in El Segundo.
The project was originally approved by the City of El Segundo Planning
Commission through Resolution No. 2077 on June 28, 1984. This Resolution approved
two six-story office towers of 233,700 square feet, each with parking in above - ground
structures accommodating 1,698 automobiles and two surface lots to accommodate 135
automobiles each, on a Special Commercial (C -3) zoned 8.37 acre site at the northeast
corner of Continental Boulevard and Grand Avenue. The Planning Commission approved
an Environmental Impact Report (EA -039) in accordance with the California
Environmental Quality Act and imposed mitigation measures to assure no negative
environmental effects upon the environment.
On August 28, 1986, the Planning Commission, in Resolution No. 2154, approved
subdivision No. 864 (Tentative Parcel Map No. 17937) to divide the property into two
lots. The proposed lots meet or exceed all the minimum dimensional requirements for a
Subdivision in the Special Commercial (C -3) zone, except two parking garages which are
located on the common side property line. The C -3 zone allows encroachment into the
side yard setback when the request to do so is submitted with the procedure, requiring
approval of the Planning Commission or the City Council, as described in Section
20.35.060.b of the El Segundo Municipal Code.
To date, the property has been improved through the construction of one six-story
office building, surface parking areas, one six -level parking structure and an entry
driveway from Continental Boulevard and extensive landscaping throughout the site.
On October 6, 1992, a Development Agreement executed by the City and the
Developer was recorded which set forth the rights and obligations of the Developer
regarding the project. The Development Agreement recognizes the existing construction
which has taken place to this date as well as satisfaction of all mitigation measures set
forth under Planning Commission Resolution No. 2077. One of the obligations of the
Development Agreement was to construct 963 parking spaces on -site for the second
phase of the project known as 400 Continental Boulevard.
37897dig.doc 00141
9/4/97
y r. r
Developer now seeks an amendment to the Development Agreement which would
reduce the required parking to 700 spaces, which exceeds the current City parking code
requirements and is more than sufficient to handle the project's parking needs. In
addition, the project's new parking facility will be built in a manner which connects it to
the existing adjacent parking facility which is underutilized despite average occupancy in
the office building during the last five years of over 90%.
The following information is provided in accordance with those numbered
paragraphs on the Initial Study Applicant Questionnaire:
Item No. B -8: Project Description
The proposed office space within the six -story structure is proposed for a
regionally oriented market. This will be first class office space with the main entry
oriented to Continental Boulevard and the existing circular driveway. The structure is
provided with loading facilities on the northerly elevation of the building. The proposed
six -story office building is the second phase of a two - building office complex originally
proposed and approved by the City in 1984 under Environmental Impact Report EA -039
and Resolution No. 2077. The proposal is the final phase of development at this site.
Item No. C -1: Project Site Characteristics
The site is a level site located at Continental Boulevard, just north of Grand
Avenue. Soils are stable within this area. No endangered species are known to exist.
There are no cultural, historical or scenic aspects identified at this site by the previous
EIR.
Item No. C -2: Description of Surrounding P_ro. nerties
This site is located within an office and industrial complex area of the City.
Surrounding uses are similar in nature to the proposed use and include a series of office
buildings and small manufacturing uses. The proposed structure would be similar in
character to the existing development in the area as it provides first class office space
within a well landscaped project site, with sufficient on -site parking, on -site recreational
facilities for employees and participation in local transportation demand management
efforts.
Item No. D:
For answers to D.1 - 12 and 14 - 20, please see project description above.
37897dig.doc
9/4/97
00142
For answer D. 13(b), please note the following:
The proposed Amendment to Development Agreement reduces the number of
parking spaces to 700 from 963 which was previously specified in the Development
Agreement, but this still exceed the number of parking spaces required on -site by the
City's current parking code. In addition, the project will connect the new parking facility
to the existing parking facility as previously approved by the City which will result in an
approximately 3.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area ratio for the combined
facilities. Surveys taken of the existing parking facility established that approximately 600
spaces are actually in use even though the building is over 90% occupied. Therefore, the
700 spaces provided for in the proposed amendment is still substantially more than the
actual usage in Phase I. The project requires less parking, in part, because of its close
proximity to the light rail station on Nash Street. The reduction in parking spaces will be
primarily accomplished by reducing the number of levels of the parking structure.

00145
measures for a project consisting of two six -story office towers of 233,700 square feet each, two
eight -story parking structures to accommodate at total of 1698 parking spaces on an 8.37 acre site
at the northeast corner of Grand Avenue and Continental Boulevard (300, 400, 444 Continental
Boulevard and 2111 East Grand Avenue).
* Subdivision 86-4 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 17937 was approved by the Planning Commission
on August 28, 1986 as Resolution No. 2154 resulted in the division of the property into two
parcels.
* Resolution No. 2219 was approved by the Planning Commission on July 14, 1988 for an extension
of time for Subdivision No. 86-4 and Tentative Parcel Map No. 17937.

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

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 Negative Declaration of Environmental

Proposed Land Use Plan
Northwest Quadrant
The northwest quadrant of the City has the most varied mix of uses within the City. All of the City's
residential units, the Downtown area, the Civic Center, and the older industrial area of Smoky
Hollow, are located in this quadrant. The 1992 Plan retains the three residential designations found
on the old Plan: single - family, two - family, and multi - family, plus a new designation of Planned
Residential Development. The Plan shows 357.2 acres of single - family, 57.4 acres of two - family,
119.4 acres of multi - family and 5.7 acres of planned residential development. This includes the re-
designation of Imperial Avenue School, which is no longer used for educational purposes, from
public facility to planned residential development. The total number of dwelling units projected by
the Plan is 7,674. 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 92.2 acres.
The 30.8 -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.

Existing construction such as the market, and recently constructed, renovated commercial centers and legal nonconforming
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 land use category 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.

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 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 484
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,
Page 1 of 2
00164
City Council Ordinance No. 1279
EXHIBIT D
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 484 units to a total buildout of 7,674 units. It can be estimated, based
on the Planning Department log book, that applications for 302 units were submitted or approved
from January 1989 through February of 1991. Based upon construction/demolition estimates for
those two years, it can be estimated that a net increase in housing of 25 to 60 units can be expected
annually for the next two years. Based on historical trends, which indicate the City typically adds
an estimated 40 units a year to its housing stock, the City would reach its buildout of 7, 674 units in
the year 2005. 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.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Second reading and adoption of Ordinance to incorporate hazardous waste source reduction into the Fire
Department's hazardous materials regulatory programs.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Discussion.
2. Second reading of Ordinance by title only.
3. By motion adopt Ordinance.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The El Segundo City Council authorized the Fire Department to assume hazardous materials and waste
responsibilities from Los Angeles County as a Certified Unified Program Agency (CUPA) on February 4, 1997, and
adopted Ordinance 1264 to implement these various environmental programs, effective July 1, 1997.
The El Segundo Fire Department is authorized by the State to regulate the generation of hazardous waste and is
encouraged, through regulation, to adopt programs to reduce the quantity of hazardous wastes generated. The
draft ordinance provides an annual incentive to all businesses that reduce their hazardous waste generation at
least five percent (5 %) each year through a five percent (5 %) reduction in hazardous waste fees. These
reductions must annually be at least five percent (5 %) below 1997 hazardous waste generation levels. Scaled
incentives for further reductions are not recommended by the State at this time. Based on the fees currently
collected by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, it is anticipated the cost withheld from the City would be
approximately three thousand dollars ($3,000). The City's adoption of specific fees will be presented to Council at
a later date.
Local businesses will benefit from this program for the following reasons:
• Businesses can potentially pay less hazardous waste fees than within the County.
• Large businesses already have to reduce wastes pursuant to California Health & Safety Codes.
• The reduction of waste improves business performance and environmental quality.
DISCUSSION:
The attached draft Ordinance authorizes the City of El Segundo Fire Department to regulate hazardous wastes
and assess fees for implementing the program. Approximately ninety (90) businesses generate hazardous wastes
and are inspected every three years for compliance with State and Federal requirements. Language to promote
the reduction of hazardous waste is incorporated in the ordinance by providing a five percent (5 %) reduction in
fees for at least a five percent (5 %) reduction in hazardous waste generated.
This program provides an economic benefit to businesses reducing hazardous waste and improves overall
environmental quality through reduced waste generation.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
Second reading and adoption of an Ordinance of the City Council repealing Chapter 2.09, Regulations of
Campaign Contributions, from the municipal code, and replacing Chapter 2.09 with an Ordinance establishing a
Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling ("VEC") in light of recent State regulations (Proposition 208).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Discussion.
2. Read the Ordinance by title only.
3. By motion adopt Ordinance.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND.
Proposition 208 was passed by the voters at the November 5, 1996 election and became effective January 1,
1997. The measure imposes new contribution limits and extensively amends the California Political Reform Act's
provisions regarding political campaign finance and disclosure. Currently Chapter 2.09 addresses the reporting
and enforcement guidelines. To eliminate contradiction and confusion, I am suggesting Council delete Chapter
2..09 from the municipal code. Effectively all section of the Chapter are covered by the New Act. The gray area
seems to concern section (e) "Total anonymous contributions to a candidate or committee which exceed in the
aggregate One Thousand and no /100ths ($1,000) dollars with respect to a single election shall not be used by
the candidate or the committee of the candidate for whom they were intended." The record keeping and
reporting on this, to the Clerk's office, precludes the Clerks' office from enforcing this, and there is no accurate
way to report total anonymous donations. Since this item is not addressed in the New Act there is some
dispute. I suggest deleting the chapter entirely.
The Act permits local agencies to establish a Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling "VEC ". The ACT provides that the
City Council may establish a "VEC" for candidates and their controlled committees not to exceed one dollar per
resident (15,223 "). The limit can be set at lower levels by the governing body or higher levels by a vote of the
electorate. (Attached for your convenience is a graph of the average amount spent during the past three
Council elections). However, the City Attorney advises that there are limitations on how low the level can be set.
Contributions from persons (including a candidate's spouse) in local elections are limited based upon the
jurisdiction's population and whether the candidate agrees to the "VEC ". If a candidate agrees to be bound by
the "VEC ", the contribution the candidate can receive from any individual donor or small contribution committee
more than doubles. Candidates agreeing to the "VEC" are also required to be prominently identified in the ballot
pamphlet as having agreed to the "VEC ".
Specifically, if the candidate has not agreed to the "VEC ", persons ( individuals, business entities and certain
committees) may contribute $100 per candidate per election. If the candidate files a statement agreeing to the
Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling (FPPC Form 500) and the Council had adopted a "VEC ", persons may only
contribute $250 per candidate per election.
In races where some candidates agree to be bound by the "VEC" and others do not, the Act attempts to
equalize the playing field. For example, where a candidate not agreeing to the WEC" receives contributions, has
cash on hand or makes qualified expenditures equal to 75% or more of the "VEC ", the "VEC" for those
candidates who have agreed to those voluntary limits would be tripled.

2.09 OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO REGULATION OF CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS AND ADOPTING SECTION 2.09.010
REGARDING A VOLUNTARY EXPENDITURE CEILING FOR
ALL MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO DOES HEREBY
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The existing Chapter 2.09 of the E1 Segundo
Municipal Code is hereby repealed.
SECTION 2. Chapter 2.09 is added to the E1 Segundo
Municipal Code to read as follows:
"Chapter 2.09 REGULATION OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
2.09.010 ESTABLISHMENT OF VOLUNTARY EXPENDITURE LIMITS
(a) On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State of
California adopted Proposition 208. Proposition 208
expressly authorizes local jurisdictions to establish
Voluntary Expenditure Ceilings for candidates and
controlled committees of such candidates for elective
office not to exceed one dollar ($.50) per resident for
each election in the jurisdiction in which the
candidate is seeking elective office. Based upon the
1990 federal census data, the resident population of E1
Segundo is 15,223.
(b) It is in the best interests of the City of El
Segundo to establish a Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling
for all municipal elections held in the City, in that
such a ceiling could minimize the potentially
corrupting influence and appearance of corruption
caused by excessive contributions and expenditures in
campaigns by providing a reasonable spending limit for
candidates.
(c) A Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling may also allow
candidates and officeholders to spend a lesser
proportion of their time on fundraising and a greater
proportion of time communicating issues of importance
to voters and constituents.
LAX2:169521.1

(d) Pursuant to California Government Code section
85400, the Voluntary Expenditure Ceiling for each
municipal election held in the City shall be
and shall apply both to candidates and controlled
committees of such candidates running for office."

this Ordinance and shall cause the same to be posted as required
by law.

PROPOSITION 208
Fact Sheet
For: City, County and Special District
Officeholders & Candidates
On November 5, 1996, Proposition 208,
the California Political Reform Act of 1996,
was passed by the voters. The provisions of
Proposition 208 amend the Political Reform
Act of 1974. The new provisions became
effective January 1, 1997. Under Proposition
208, the amount of contributions individuals,
corporations, unions, PACs, organizations and
other entities may contribute to candidates
seeking election in local jurisdictions is
limited. In addition, Proposition 208 also
provides for voluntary spending limits at the
local level if the local jurisdiction provides for
them. This fact sheet is being provided for
informational purposes only, and is not
intended to provide legal interpretation of the
provisions contained in Proposition 208.
The Commission's Legal Division is in the
process of developing emergency regulations
and responding to requests for written advice
concerning the provisions of Proposition 208.
These emergency regulations and advice
letters may be accessed on the Commission's
website http: / /www.fppc.ca.gov /fppc/ or may
be ordered toll -free via fax on demand by
calling 1 -888- 622 -1151.
Many of the provisions of Proposition
208 are currently being challenged in the U.S.
District Court,- Eastern- District of Califoornia.
Ban on Off -Year Fundraising:
Candidates seeking election in local
jurisdictions are prohibited from accepting
contributions for a period of time before any
primary or special primary election or, in the
event there is no primary or special primary
election, any regular election or special
election in which the candidate is attempting
to be on the ballot or is a write -in candidate.
In districts of fewer than 1,000,000
residents, candidates may not accept
contributions prior to 6 months
before their election.
In districts with 1,000,000 or more
residents, candidates may not accept
contributions prior to 12 months
before their election.
Example:
A district with fewer than 1,000,000
residents is holding an election on November 4,
1997. Effective January 1, 1997, all
candidates seeking election, including
officeholders seeking re- election, may not
accept a campaign contribution (including the
candidate /officeholder's personal funds), until
May 4, 1997.

A committee with debt from pre -1997
elections may continue to collect contributions
to retire the debt. The funds must be collected
subject to the contribution limits of
Proposition 208, applied separately to each
election. The funds do not count against the
contribution limits for post - January 1, 1997,
elections. A committee's campaign bank
account may not be redesignated for a future
election if the committee has any outstanding
debts.
SELECTED PROVISIONS OF
PROPOSITION 208 RELATIVE TO
YOUR NEXT ELECTION
Contributions Raised Prior to January,
1997:
Contributions raised prior to January 1,
1997 may be transferred to a future election
account after January 1, 1997, and are not
subject to the limits contained in Proposition
208. The candidate and committee receiving
the transfer must have a Candidate Intention
Form 501 and a Campaign Bank Account
Form 502 on file designating an election date.
If a candidate opened such an account prior to
January 1, 1997, he /she is not required to
open a new bank account.
Contribution Limits (Per Election):
— Local races in districts with 100,000 or
more residents: individuals, business
entities, unions, organizations, PACs,
et al: $250
Small contributor committees: $500
Local races in districts with fewer than
100,000 residents: individuals, business
entities, unions, organizations, PACs,
et al: $100
Small contributor committees: $200
There are provisions in Proposition 208
that will increase the contribution limits, for
example, if a local jurisdiction provides for
voluntary spending limits. The contribution
limits do not apply to the candidate's personal
funds used to support his/her own election.
However, limits apply to contributions from a
spouse. A candidate's personal funds that
he /she loans to the committee may not exceed
$20,000 at any one time. All loans or
extension of credit for more than 30 days to a
candidate by other persons are treated as
contributions and subject to the applicable
limits. This does not apply to loans from a
bank or financial institution made in the
normal course of business.
Transfer Ban:
Proposition 208 prohibits the transfer of
contributions received by one officeholder or
candidate to any other officeholder or
candidate for elective office. Candidates may
use personal funds within the limits to make
contributions to other candidates/officeholders.
Members of Public Boards and Commissions:
Individuals who are appointed members of
public boards or commissions may not make
contributions to, accept contributions for, -or
solicit contributions on behalf of, the person
who made the appointment.
Bundling of Contributions:
Contributions made directly or indirectly to
a candidate through an intermediary are treated
as contributions from the contributor and the
intermediary for purposes of the contribution
fit unless the intermediary is the candidate or
can eligible representative, or a volunteer
hosting a fundraiser away from his/her place of
business.

5. MAY CITIES AND COUNTIES IMPOSE THEIR OWN CONT
LIMITS? RIBUTION
Cities and counties may establish or maintain in effect contribution limits which
are "as or more stringent" than those established by Proposition 208. However, a local
jurisdiction may enforce contribution or voluntary expenditure limits that are higher than
those set by Proposition 208 only by a vote of the people.
6. WHAT ARE THE VOLUNTARY EXPENDITURE LIMITS IMPOSED BY
PROPOSITION 208?
Proposition 208 creates a set of voluntary expenditure ceilings in an attempt to
regulate the amount of money spent on political campaigns. The measure also includes
incentives to encourage candidates to accept the limits.
a. Ceiling: Proposition 208 does not require that voluntary limits be in place in
local jurisdictions, but rather permits each city and county to establish voluntary
expenditure ceilings in any amount of one dollar ($1) or less per resident for each
election in the jurisdiction.
b. Incentives: If the city or county adopts a voluntary expenditure ceiling,
candidates must file a statement of acceptance or rejection of the ceiling before
accepting any contributions. If the candidate accepts the expenditure limitations, the
per person contribution limit described in question 1, above, is increased to $250 per
election in jurisdictions with fewer than 100,000 residents and to $500 per election in
jurisdictions with 100,000 or more residents. It is not entirely clear how this provision
will affect March, 1997 local elections, since some candidates will already have
accepted contributions prior to the time the expenditure ceiling, if any, takes effect.
Once a candidate who does not accept the expenditure ceiling raises or spends
75% of the recommended expenditure ceiling for that office, the voluntary expenditure
ceiling for other candidates in the same race will automatically triple. If an
independent expenditure committee or committees in the aggregate spend 50% or more
of the applicable expenditure ceiling in support of or in opposition to any candidate,
the other candidates' voluntary expenditure ceiling automatically triples. If an
independent expenditure committee or committees in the aggregate spend 25% or more
of the applicable expenditure ceiling in support of or in opposition to any candidate,
the other candidates' voluntary expenditure ceiling automatically doubles.
Proposition 208 also requires that local elections officials designate on the
ballot, in the ballot pamphlet, and in the sample ballot, which candidates have accepted
the voluntary expenditure ceilings. The Fair Political Practices Commission ( "FPPC ")
will issue a regulation regarding the manner of designation but that regulation may not
take effect prior to the ballot printing deadline for March 1997 elections.

DATE: September 19, 1997
RE: Enforcement of Conditional Use Permits
9 -19 -97 12:21pm p. 2 of 2
CC: James W. Morrison,
City Manager; Bret B.
Bernard, Planning Director.
At the City Council meeting on September 16, 1997, the City Council requested an analysis
of alternatives for enforcing violations of City approved conditional use permits ( "CUP ").
Current Options
At present, the City's option for enforcing a violation of a CUP is to either suspend or
revoke the CUP. Municipal Code § 20.74.170. To suspend or revoke a CUP, the City's Planning
Commission must hold a public hearing within forty (40) days of the alleged violation and provide
the applicant an opportunity to show that the relevant conditions of the CUP are being complied
with. Absent such a showing, the Planning Commission has the option of either suspending or
revoking the CUP. This decision is appealable to the City Council.
The City may also condition a CUP such that the City may revise or modify the conditions
of the CUP based upon specified circumstances. For example, the City may condition a project to
contain a certain number of parking spaces subject to an upward or downward revision so long as
the City specifies within the conditions of approval the circumstances under which such
modification may occur. This type of condition would allow the City more flexibility in the
enforcement of a particular CUP.
Potential Code Amendment
Finally, the City could amend its Municipal Code to provide for additional enforcement
mechanisms. Specifically, the City could amend its Municipal Code to make a violation of the
terms and conditions of CUP either an infraction or misdemeanor. This would allow the City to
enforce a CUP in the same manner in which it currently enforces violations of its zoning code.
Under such an amendment, violators could be subject to fines ranging from fifty ($50) to two -
hundred and fifty ($250) dollars per day for an infraction or up to a thousand ($1000) dollars per
day for a misdemeanor. This option has been successfully utilized in other cities within Los
Angeles County.

PART ONE, SECTION ONE
BASIC PLAN
PURPOSE
The Basic Plan addresses the city's planned response to emergencies associated with natural
disasters and technological incidents — including both peacetime and wartime nuclear defense
operations. It provides an overview of operational concepts, identifies components of the
city's emergency management organization within the Standardized Emergency
Management System (SEMS), and describes the overall responsibilities of the federal, state
and county entities and the city for protecting life and property and assuring the overall
well -being of the population.
AUTHORITIES AND REFERENCES
Disaster response and recovery operations will be conducted as outlined in Concept of
Operations, and in accordance with the enabling legislation, plans, and agreements listed in
Part One, Section Two — Authorities and References.
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
A hazard analysis has indicated that the city may be at risk to certain incidents and to
national security emergencies. These hazards are identified in Part One, Section
Five — Threat Assessments, which also provide general and specific information on their
possible impact on the jurisdiction.
PREPAREDNESS ELEMENTS
The city will place emphasis on: emergency planning; training of full time, auxiliary and
reserve personnel; public awareness and education; and assuring the adequacy and
availability of sufficient resources to cope with emergencies. Emphasis will also be placed
on mitigation measures to reduce losses from disasters, including the development and
enforcement of appropriate land use, design and construction regulations.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
Operations during peacetime and national security emergencies involve a full spectrum of
activities from a minor incident, to a major earthquake, to a nuclear detonation. There are
a number of similarities in operational concepts for peacetime and national security
emergencies. Some emergencies will be preceded by a build -up or warning period, providing
sufficient time to warn the population and implement mitigation measures designed to
reduce loss of life and property damage. Other emergencies occur with little or no advance
warning, thus requiring immediate activation of the emergency operations plan and
City of El Segundo
11125196 0 0 2 2 1
SEMS Muldhazard Functional Plan
commitment of resources. All agencies must be prepared to respond promptly and
effectively to any foreseeable emergency, including the provision and utilization of mutual
aid.
Emergency management activities during peacetime and national security emergencies are
often associated with the four federal phases indicated below. However, not every disaster
necessarily includes all indicated phases.
PREPAREDNESS PHASE
The preparedness phase involves activities taken in advance of an emergency. These
activities develop operational capabilities and effective responses to a disaster. These actions
might include mitigation activities, emergency /disaster planning, training and exercises and
public education. Those identified in this plan as having either a primary or support
mission relative to response and recovery should prepare Emergency Operating Procedures
(EOPs) and checklists detailing personnel assignments, policies, notification rosters, and
resource lists. Personnel should be acquainted with these EOPs and checklists and
periodically be trained in their activation and execution.
Increased Readiness
Increased readiness actions will be initiated by the receipt of a warning or the observation
that an emergency situation is imminent or likely to occur soon. Actions to be accomplished
include, but are not necessarily limited to:
0 Review and update of emergency plans, EOPs, and resources listings.
• Dissemination of accurate and timely emergency public information.
• Accelerated training of permanent and auxiliary staff.
• Inspection of critical facilities.
R Recruitment of additional staff and Disaster Services Workers.
1E Mobilization of resources
R Testing warning and communications systems.
RESPONSE PHASE
Pre - Emergency
When a disaster is inevitable, actions are precautionary and emphasize protection of life.
Typical responses might be:
IE Evacuation of threatened populations to safe areas.
• Advising threatened populations of the emergency and apprising them of safety
measures to be implemented.
• Advising the Los Angeles County Operational Area of the emergency.
• Identifying the need for mutual aid and requesting such through the appropriate
channels.
• Proclamation of a Local Emergency by local authorities.
City of El Segundo
11/25/96
SEMS Muldhazard Functional Plan
Emergency Response
During this phase, emphasis is placed on saving lives and property, control of the situation
and minimizing effects of the disaster. Immediate response is accomplished within the
affected area by local government agencies and segments of the private sector.
One of the following conditions will apply to the city during this phase:
R The situation can be controlled without mutual aid assistance from outside the
city.
IE Evacuation of portions of the city are required due to uncontrollable immediate
and ensuing threats.
0 Mutual aid from outside the city is required.
R The city is either minimally impacted, or not impacted at all, and is requested to
provide mutual aid to other jurisdictions.
The emergency management organization will give priority to the following operations:
• Dissemination of accurate and timely emergency public information and
warning to the public.
• Situation analysis.
0 Resource allocation and control.
• Evacuation and rescue operations.
• Medical care operations.
• Coroner operations.
Care and shelter operations.
• Access and perimeter control.
• Public health operations.
R Restoration of vital services and utilities.
When local resources are committed to the maximum and additional resources are required,
requests for mutual aid will be initiated through the Los Angeles County Operational Area.
Fire and law enforcement agencies will request or render mutual aid directly through
established channels. Any action which involves financial outlay by the jurisdiction, or a
request for military assistance, must be authorized by the appropriate local official. If
required, State Office of Emergency Services (OES) may coordinate the establishment of one
or more Disaster Support Areas (DSAs) where resources and supplies can be received,
stockpiled, allocated, and dispatched to support operations in the affected area(s).
State OES may also activate the State Operations Center (SOC) in Sacramento to support
State OES Regions, state agencies and other entities in the affected areas and to ensure the
effectiveness of the state's SEMS. The State Regional EOC (REOC) in Los Alamitos, or an
alternate location, will support the Los Angeles County Operational Area.
City of El Segundo
11/25/96
SEMS Muldhazard Functional Plan
Depending on the severity of the emergency, a Local Emergency may be proclaimed, the
local Emergency Operating Center (EOC) may be activated, and Los Angeles County
Operational Area will be advised. The State OES Director may request a gubernatorial
proclamation of a State of Emergency. Should a State of Emergency be proclaimed, state
agencies will, to the extent possible, respond to requests for assistance. These activities will
be coordinated with the State OES Director.
If the Governor requests and receives a Presidential declaration of an Emergency or a Major
Disaster under Public Law 93 -288, he will appoint a State Coordinating Officer (SCO). The
SCO and an appointed Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) will coordinate and control
state and federal recovery efforts in supporting local operations. All emergency response
efforts and initial recovery support will be coordinated by the REOC.
Sustained Emergency
In addition to continuing life and property protection operations, mass care, relocation,
registration of displaced persons, and damage assessment operations will be initiated.
RECOVERY PHASE
As soon as possible, the State OES Director, operating through the SCO, will bring together
representatives of federal, state, county, and city agencies, as well as representatives of the
American Red Cross, to coordinate the implementation of assistance programs and
establishment of support priorities. Disaster Application Centers (DACs) may also be
established, providing a "one- stop" service to initiate the process of receiving federal and
state recovery assistance.
The recovery period has major objectives which may overlap, including:
0 Reinstatement of family autonomy.
Provision of essential public services.
0 Permanent restoration of private and public property.
R Identification of residual hazards.
• Plans to mitigate future hazards.
• Recovery of costs associated with response and recovery efforts.
City of El Segundo
11/25/96
SEMS Muldhazard Functional Plan
MITIGATION PHASE
Mitigation efforts occur both before and following disaster events. Post - disaster mitigation
is part of the recovery process. Eliminating or reducing the impact of hazards which exist
within the city and are a threat to life and property are part of the mitigation efforts.
Mitigation tools include:
0 Local ordinances and statutes (zoning ordinance, building codes and
enforcement, etc.).
0 Structural measures.
R Tax levee or abatements.
R Public information and community relations.
• Land use planning.
• Professional training.
PEACETIME EMERGENCIES
The city's partial or total response to natural disasters or technological incidents will be
dictated by the type and magnitude of the emergency. Generally, response to a major
peacetime emergency situation will progress from local, to county, to state, to federal
involvement.
For planning purposes, State OES has established three levels of emergency response to
peacetime emergencies, which are based on the severity of the situation and the availability
of local resources. (Note: These levels do not directly correlate with the four classifications
of nuclear power emergencies.)
Level One — Decentralized Coordination and Direction
A minor to moderate incident wherein local resources are adequate and available. A
Local Emergency may or may not be proclaimed. The City EOC may or may not be
activated. Off -duty personnel may be recalled.
Level Two — Centralized Coordination and Decentralized Direction
A moderate to severe emergency wherein local resources are not adequate and mutual
aid may be required on a regional or even statewide basis. Key management level
personnel from the principal involved agencies will co- locate in a central location to
provide jurisdictional or multijurisdictional coordination. The EOC should be
activated. Off -duty personnel may be recalled. A Local Emergency will be
proclaimed and a State of Emergency may be proclaimed.
Level Three — Centralized Coordination and Direction
A major local or regional disaster wherein resources in or near the impacted area are
overwhelmed and extensive state and /or federal resources are required. A Local
Emergency and a State of Emergency will be proclaimed and a Presidential
Declaration of an Emergency or Major Disaster will be requested. All response and
early recovery activities will be directed from the EOC. All off -duty personnel will
be recalled.
City of El Segundo
11/25/96
SEMS Muldhazard Functional Plan
Specific operational concepts, to include the emergency response actions of the various
elements of the Standardized Emergency Management System, are reflected in Part Two of
this Plan.
NATIONAL SECURITY EMERGENCIES
National security emergencies may range from minor inconveniences such as food and
petroleum shortages to a worst -case scenario involving an attack on the United States
utilizing nuclear weapons. Protective measures to be employed in the event of a threatened
or actual attack on the United States include:
• In -place protection.
• Spontaneous evacuation by an informed citizenry may be considered a viable
option within the context of this plan.
STANDARDIZED EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(SEMS)
In an emergency, governmental response is an extraordinary extension of responsibility and
action, coupled with normal day -to -day activity. Normal governmental duties will be
maintained, with emergency operations carried out by those agencies assigned specific
emergency functions. The Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) has been
adopted by the City of El Segundo for managing response to multiagency and
multijurisdiction emergencies and to facilitate communications and coordination between
all levels of the system and among all responding agencies. Section 2400 (CCR), of Title 19,
Division 2, of the California Code of Regulations, establishes the standard response
structure and basic protocols to be used in emergency response and recovery.
Fully activated, the SEMS consists of five levels: field response, local government,
operational areas (countywide), OES Mutual Aid Regions, and state government.
Field Response Level
The field response level is where emergency response personnel and resources, under the
command of an appropriate authority, carry out tactical decisions and activities in direct
response to an incident or threat. SEMS regulations require the use of the Incident
Command System (ICS) at the field response level of an incident. The ICS field functions
to be used for emergency management are: command, operations, planning /intelligence,
logistics, and finance /administration.
Local Government Level
Local governments include cities, counties, and special districts. Local governments manage
and coordinate the overall emergency response and recovery activities within their
jurisdiction. Local governments are required to use SEMS when their emergency operations
City of El Segundo 00232
11/25/96
SEMS Muldhazard Functional Plan
center is activated or a local emergency is proclaimed in order to be eligible for state funding
of response - related personnel costs. In SEMS, the local government emergency management
organization and its relationship to the field response level may vary depending upon factors
related to geographical size, population, function and complexity. Local governmental levels
shall provide the following functions: management, operations, planning /intelligence,
logistics, and finance /administration. Local jurisdictions are responsible for overall direction
of personnel and equipment provided for emergency operations through mutual aid
(Government Code, Section 8618). Additional details relative to the organization and
responsibilities of the SEMS elements at each of the levels are provided in Part Two,
Management System.
Operational Area
Under SEMS, the operational area is defined in the Emergency Services Act as an
intermediate level of the state's emergency services organization consisting of a county and
all political subdivisions within the county area. Political subdivisions include cities, a city
and county, counties, district or other local governmental agency, or public agency as
authorized by law. The operational area is responsible for:
E Coordinating information, resources and priorities among local governments
within the operational area,
R1 Coordinating information, resources and priorities between the regional level
and the local government level, and
El Using multiagency or interagency coordination to facilitate decisions for overall
operational area level emergency response activities.
SEMS regulations specify that all local governments within a county geographic area be
organized into a single operational area and that the county board of supervisors is
responsible for its establishment. The County of Los Angeles is the lead agency for the Los
Angeles County Operational Area which includes the City of El Segundo. All local
governments should cooperate in organizing an effective operational area, but the
operational area authority and responsibility is not affected by the nonparticipation of any
local government.
Activation of the Operational Area during a State of Emergency or a Local Emergency is
required by SEMS regulations under the following conditions:
1) A local government within the operational area has activated its EOC and
requested activation of the operational area EOC to support their emergency
operations.
2) Two or more cities within the operational area have proclaimed a local
emergency.
City of El Segundo
11/25/96
01C Z3
SEMS Muldhazard Functional Plan
3) The county and one or more cities have proclaimed a local emergency.
4) A city, city and county, or county has requested a governor's proclamation of a
state of emergency, as defined in Government Code 8558(b).
5) A state of emergency is proclaimed by the governor for the county or two or
more cities within the operational area.
6) The operational area is requesting resources from outside its boundaries. This
does not include resources used in normal day -to -day operations which are
obtained through existing mutual aid agreements.
7) The operational area has received resource requests from outside its boundaries.
This does not include resources used in normal day -to -day operations which are
obtained through existing mutual aid agreements.
If the Los Angeles County Operational Area is activated, the County Sheriff will be the
Director of Emergency Operations (Operational Area Coordinator) for the Los Angeles
County Operational Area and will have the overall responsibility for coordinating and
supporting emergency operations within the county. The Area Coordinator and supporting
staff will constitute the Operational Area Emergency Management Staff. The County's
EOC will fulfill the role of Operational Area EOC.
Regional
Because of its size and geography, the state has been divided into six mutual aid regions.
The purpose of a mutual aid region is to provide for the more effective application and
coordination of mutual aid and other emergency related activities.
State OES has also established three Administrative Regions (Coastal, Inland and Southern).
These Administrative Regions are the means by which State OES maintains day -to -day
contact with emergency services organizations at local, county and private sector
organizations.
In SEMS, the regional level manages and coordinates information and resources among
operational areas within the mutual aid region and also between the operational areas and
the state level. The regional level also coordinates overall state agency support for
emergency response activities within the region.
State
The state level of SEMS manages state resources in response to the emergency needs of the
other levels and coordinates mutual aid among the mutual aid regions and between the
regional level and state level. The state level also serves as the coordination and
communication link between the state and the federal disaster response system.
City of El Segundo n 3
11/25/96
SEMS Muldhazard Functional Plan
FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) serves as the main federal
government contact during emergencies, major disasters and national security emergencies.
CONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT
A major disaster or national security emergency could result in the death or injury of key
government officials and /or the partial or complete destruction of established seats of
government, and public and private records essential to continued operations of
government. Government at all levels is responsible for providing continuity of effective
leadership, authority and adequate direction of emergency and recovery operations. The
California Government Code and the Constitution of California provide the authority for
state and local government to reconstitute itself in the event incumbents are unable to serve.
Part Two, Management Section provides complete details on the Continuity of
Government Program in California.
PUBLIC AWARENESS AND EDUCATION
The public's response to any emergency is based on an understanding of the nature of the
emergency, the potential hazards, the likely response of emergency services and knowledge
of what individuals and groups should do to increase their chances of survival and recovery.
Public awareness and education prior to any emergency are crucial to successful public
information efforts during and after the emergency. The pre- disaster awareness and
education programs must be viewed as equal in importance to all other preparations for
emergencies and receive an adequate level of planning. These programs must be coordinated
among local, state and federal officials to ensure their contribution to emergency
preparedness and response operations. Emergency Public Information procedures are
addressed in Part Two, Management Section.
TRAINING, TESTS, AND EXERCISES
Training, tests and exercises are essential at all levels of government to make emergency
operations personnel operationally ready. All emergency plans should include provision for
training.
The objective is to train and educate public officials, emergency response personnel and the
public. The best method for training staff to manage emergency operations is through
exercises and tests.

SEMS Muldhazard Functional Plan
Tests are conducted on a regular basis to maintain the readiness of operational procedures.
Exercises provide personnel with an opportunity to become thoroughly familiar with the
procedures, facilities and systems which will actually be used in emergency situations. There
are several forms of exercises:
0 Tabletop exercises provide a convenient and low -cost method designed to evaluate
policy, plans and procedures and resolve coordination and responsibilities. Such
exercises are a good way to see if policies and procedures exist to handle certain
issues.
O Functional exercises are designed to test and evaluate the capability of an individual
function such as evacuation, medical, communications or public information.
R Full -scale exercises simulate an actual emergency. They typically involve complete
emergency management staff and are designed to evaluate the operational capability
of the emergency management system.

considered this particular project more expensive to construct than other typical storm drain projects due
to the limited construction access in the narrow alley within which the storm drain is located, and the close
proximity of a City sewer main that needs to be supported during construction. Staff is of the opinion that
the bids received are a fair representation of the cost of constructing this project and more favorable bids
may not be received if the project is re -bid.
The additional money needed to complete the project funding is $11,500.00. Currently, there is an
unexpended balance of $11,500.00 in the recently completed project to reconstruct the alley east of Main
Street between Holly and Mariposa Avenues. Staff is recommending transfer of these funds to the subject
storm drain project.
Staff has contacted the references submitted by the low bidder. We have received favorable responses
from the references that the contractor has successfully completed similar projects for the agencies.
Staff recommends award of the construction contract to the low bidder, Allison Company, in the amount
of $63,640.00.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Acceptance of the installation of a telemetry alarm and monitoring system for the water, storm water and
sanitary sewer facilities (final contract amount = $62,534.00).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Accept the work as complete.
2. Authorize the City Clerk to file the City Engineer's Notice of Completion in the County Recorder's
Office.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The City Council on July 2, 1996 awarded a contract to MBI Instruments and Control in the amount of
$62,534.00 for installation of an alarm and monitoring system for the City's water, storm water and sanitary
sewer facilities.
DISCUSSION:
The MBI proposal included installation of monitoring devices at eight (8) water, five (5) storm water and
thirteen (13) sanitary sewer facilities, as shown on the attached matrix. The information from these devices
will be transmitted to a computer and an automatic telephone dialer located at the Water Facility at 400
Lomita Street. In emergency situations during off hours, the automatic dialer will contact Public Works
Department staff from a priority list which enables the Department to expeditiously respond to the
emergency.
The contractor commenced installation of the monitoring system in January 1997 after procuring the
materials and equipment needed for the project. The contractor's work was completed in May 1997,
however the monitoring system could not be completely tested due to delays by the telephone company
in providing the needed dedicated telephone connections. All work is now complete and the system has
been tested and found to be functioning satisfactorily.
The final contract amount is $62,534.00.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1. Matrix of monitoring locations.
2. City Engineer's Notice of Completion.

PW- OCT7.04 (Monday 9/29/97 3:00 PM)
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The adopted fiscal year 1996 -97 Capital Improvement Program includes a project to replace existing
underground storage tanks and fueling system at the City Maintenance Facility at 150 Illinois Street.
Currently there are six (6) single wall steel underground storage tanks (2 - 10,000 gallon gasoline tanks,
1 - 7,500 gallon diesel tank, 1 - 1,000 gallon new oil tank, 1 - 250 gallon paint thinner tank and 1 - 1,000
gallon waste oil tank) that do not comply with current State law pertaining to underground storage tanks.
According to the regulations, all existing single wall underground tanks and associated underground piping
should be either retrofitted with secondary containment or replaced with new facilities that comply with the
regulations. State law also requires that owners of existing underground tanks comply with the law by
December 22, 1998. The law provides for civil penalties of between $500 and $5,000 per day of violation
for each tank.
DISCUSSION:
Staff has discussed the project with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works. The County
provides services regarding design, construction, project management, permitting, soil testing and obtaining
the needed governmental agency approvals for the required work. As detailed in the enclosed proposal,
the County has offered to complete the project for a total estimated cost of $296,132.00. This cost also
includes $22,500 for removal of any contaminated soil discovered under the existing tanks. Some cost
savings may be realized if lesser amounts of contaminated soil are found during construction. Staff is not
aware of any leakages from existing tanks.
The project scope provides for removal of all underground tanks and associated piping and replacing them
with new double wall tanks and leak monitoring devices that comply with State law. Five (5) of the existing
six (6) tanks will be removed and replaced and one (1) existing paint thinner tank will be eliminated since
this product is no longer used in the Maintenance Facility. The adopted fiscal year 1996 -97 operating
budget includes $18,400 for replacement of the existing fifteen (15) years old Gasboy fuel management
system, which is outdated and difficult to maintain due to non - availability of parts. The County's proposal
includes installation of a new automated fuel management system.
During the estimated six (6) weeks of construction time, City vehicles that use diesel fuel will be served by
an above ground portable diesel tank. Since portable gasoline pumps are not available, a separate
arrangement will have to be made with local gasoline stations to fuel City vehicles. Details will be
developed after contract award and establishment of a specific construction schedule.
The County's cost proposal breakdown is as follows:
(a) Design and project management including obtaining
all permits and approvals
(b) Removal of six (6) single wall steel tanks and installation
of five (5) new double wall fiberglass tanks with
associated piping and leak monitoring equipment
(c) New fuel dispensing management system
(d) Contingencies, including removal of an estimated
500 tons of contaminated soil

$11,550
$207,810
$23,272 00247
$53,500
Total Cost $296,132
PW- OCT7.04 (Monday 9/29/97 3:00 PM)
DISCUSSION: (continued)
Staff has verified costs of similar projects recently completed by other agencies. Removal and replacement
of 10,000 gallon tanks are costing between $75,000 and $100,000 per tank and new fuel dispensing
systems cost approximately $20,000. Given the scope of the City's project and the need to retain an
outside consultant for project design, testing and project inspection which the City currently does not have
staff expertise, it is staffs opinion that the County's proposal represents a cost effective and expeditious
method to accomplish this work.
Staff has also investigated the option of eliminating the City fueling facility and purchasing fuel from gasoline
stations within the City. There are several reasons, summarized in the attached memorandum dated
September 15, 1997, which indicate that retaining an in -house fueling facility is in the best interest of the
City.
Staff recommends City Council authorize staff to submit a service request to the County to proceed with
the work.

INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
Date: September 15, 1997
To: Eduard Schroder, Public Works Director
From: John W. Hilton, General Services Manager
Subject: Underground Tank replacement at Maintenance Facility
There are currently six (6) underground storage tanks at the Maintenance Facility: two gasoline,
one diesel fuel, one paint thinner, one new oil tank, and one used oil tank. They are all single wall
steel tanks and must be removed by December 1998. The Street Division no longer uses the paint
thinner tank, and so it will not be replaced. The estimated cost to remove and replace these tanks
and the Gasboy fuel management system, is $296,132.00.
The Maintenance Facility dispenses approximately 82,000 gallons of gasoline, 12,000 gallons of
diesel, 900 gallons of new oil, and generates 800 gallons of used motor oil, annually. The City fleet
consists of a variety of vehicles and equipment which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Staff has evaluated the facts for the City maintaining fuel tanks within the Maintenance Facility
versus purchasing fuel from a local gasoline station. Following are the results of this evaluation:
1) Cost: Staff surveyed all the local gasoline stations for hours of operation and any discounts
which could be given to the City if it were to purchase gasoline or diesel fuel from a station.
The results of the survey showed that there is only one station which sells diesel. It also
showed that, including discounts, the City is currently paying $0.46 per gallon less for gasoline
and $0.61 per gallon less for diesel than it would be if the gasoline were purchased from the
lowest priced gasoline station in town (see spread sheet). The savings realized by the City
maintaining fuel tanks will pay for the installation of new tanks within 5.2 years, with an
estimated savings of $666,592.00 over the twenty (20) year life of the tanks.
2) Availabift. Fuel is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the Maintenance Facility. The
only local station which carries diesel fuel is open only from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. week
days, and closes at 10:00 p.m. on weekends. The lowest priced gasoline supplier is open
from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. seven (7) days a week. The lowest priced station open 24 hours
a day is $0.02 higher per gallon than the other stations, or $0.48 per gallon more than the
price the City is currently paying.
3) Security: With the Police fueling 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, security is provided during
the hours the Maintenance Facility is closed.
00259
Underground Tank Replacement at Maintenance Facility
September 15, 1997
Page 2
4) Emergency Availability: Concerns which were identified regarding the availability of fuel
during emergency situations are:
A) The ability to deliver fuel during power outages (no local gas station has an emergency
generator). The fuel pumps at the Maintenance Facility are on the emergency generator
circuit.
B) Will the station remain open during a disaster situation, or will the owner close it to tend
to personal concerns.
C) Will the local stations have an adequate inventory on hand, if a disaster occurs, to
sustain the City fleet for the duration of a major disaster. This is of particular concern,
as only one station in town has diesel fuel, which is used in the vehicles and equipment
(fire engines, loader, backhoes, dump trucks, etc.) Which will be in the greatest demand
during a major disaster. Maintaining its own tanks, the City will always have a minimum
six weeks supply of fuel on hand.
5) Additional Costs: By maintaining its own fuel tanks, the City is able to avoid fuel price
fluctuation due to seasonal demands (summer, holidays, etc.). The City purchases 900
gallons of new motor oil per year for use in the fleet. There is a $0.35 per gallon price break
for orders over 500 gallons. The pump and piping for new oil in the garage is designed for an
underground tank, so not replacing the tank would require modifying the existing equipment
at an estimated cost of $5,000.00 to $7,000.00. The garage disposes of approximately 800
gallons of used motor oil annually. This oil is drained from the vehicle into an oil collection
container which is then drained into the underground storage tank and eventually hauled away
for recycling. Requiring personnel to drain the oil collection container into an above ground
container would be extremely labor intensive and is estimated to have a $1,000.00 start-up
cost for a pump and container, along with an ongoing cost or $2,000.00 a year in labor.
6) Additional Concerns:
A) Travel time and transaction time are of additional concern. Currently all vehicles and
equipment housed at the Maintenance Facility, which includes Streets, Parks,
Wastewater, Equipment Maintenance, and Recreation vans, do not incur travel time.
This equipment accounts for 500 transactions annually.
B) There is only one station in El Segundo providing diesel fuel which is located on the east
side of Sepulveda Boulevard at Maple Avenue. This means all construction equipment
must be driven through the residential neighborhoods to fuel up, as they are slow moving
and should not go on Sepulveda Boulevard unless necessary.
C) All fuel transactions are currently computerized. An employee enters the vehicle's gas
card and the mileage, and the computer automatically enters the transaction into the
vehicle management system. The computer updates the system daily and provides a
monthly billing report. It is estimated that it would cost $5,000.00 annually to do this
n 0 2 6 0

Page 3
update manually, and it will leave the fleet management system 30 days behind actual
time.
D) The United States went through gas rationing in the late 1970s, causing long lines at
local gas stations and restricting motorists as to when and how much fuel they could
purchase. The City has been able to avoid this situation with the maintenance of City
owned tanks.
Based on the above information, I recommend the tanks at the Maintenance Facility be replaced.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Acceptance of reconstruction of alley east of Main Street, between Holly Avenue and Mariposa Avenue
(final contract amount = $62,176.50).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Accept the work as complete.
2. Authorize the City Clerk to file the City Engineer's Notice of Completion in the County Recorder's
Office.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On May 6, 1997, the City Council awarded a contract for $57,406.50 to CJ Construction for the
reconstruction of the alley east of Main Street, between Holly Avenue and Mariposa Avenue.
DISCUSSION:
The alley reconstruction work was completed in July, 1997 and the alley opened for public use. Staff had
notified the contractor that the appearance of the asphalt finish surface was not acceptable and needed to
be corrected. The contractor, at his cost, has now applied a finish coat of asphalt/sand mixture which has
mitigated staffs concerns and the project is now ready for acceptance.
The final contract amount based on actual work quantities is $62,176.00. The additional cost above the
contract amount is due to the thickness of the old pavement being greater than anticipated in several
locations which resulted in placement of new asphalt concrete in quantities greater than specified in the bid
schedule. Funds are available in the project budget to cover the final contract amount and no additional
appropriation is being requested.
Staff recommends City Council acceptance of the work as being complete.

nine (9) months ago. The bids came in considerably higher than this estimate partly due to increase in
asphalt prices and heavy work load by re- roofing contractors immediately prior to the winter rain season.
Staff has discussed the bids with the low bidder and the Recreation and Parks Department and
recommends deleting the re- roofing of the City Plunge from the contract award. Discussions with
contractors have brought out the fact that, given the environment in the Plunge, the addition of a moisture
barrier between the building interior and the roof would significantly lengthen the life of a new roof. This
roof will be re- evaluated by staff regarding this and other issues raised by prospective bidders such as
potential dust and debris intrusion into the pool during construction and roof access. After this re-
evaluation, staff will recommend the project for inclusion in the next fiscal year's Facilities Maintenance
Plan. In the interim, staff will implement needed localized repairs to address roof leaking locations during
this winter. The low bidder has agreed to re -roof the other buildings at the prices bid if the plunge re- roofing
is deleted from the contract award.
Staff has received favorable responses from the low bidder's references of recently completed re- roofing
projects. Staff recommends award of contract to the low bidder, Coast Roof Company, in the amount of
$68,142.00 and deletion of the re- roofing of the City Plunge from the contract award.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Adoption of plans and specifications for construction of a storm drain in the 400 block of Washington Street,
north of Holly Avenue and Recreation Park Checkout Building drainage improvements (estimated cost
$45,000.00).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Adopt plans and specifications and authorize staff to advertise the project for receipt of construction bids.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The adopted fiscal year 1997 -98 Capital Improvement Program includes projects to construct a storm drain
in the 400 block of Washington Street and drainage improvements for the Recreation Park Checkout
Building.
There is a low area in the 400 block of Washington Street north of Holly Avenue. The drainage of this area
is currently being addressed by a small grate inlet and an 8 diameter pipe which discharges the storm
water on to Holly Avenue, west of Washington Street. The existing system is inadequate to handle storm
water runoff during heavy rains which overflows on to abutting private property. The proposed work is
intended to increase the capacity of the existing storm drain system and includes construction of a larger
catch basin inlet and an 18" diameter storm drain to discharge storm flow to an existing 36" diameter storm
drain in Holly Avenue.
There is also a low area between the Recreation Park Checkout Building and the tennis courts. The
drainage of this area is currently being addressed by small grate inlets which discharge the storm flow
through a 6" diameter pipe connection to an existing 27" diameter storm drain in Recreation Park. The
existing system is inadequate to handle storm runoff during heavy rains resulting in ponding of water
adjacent to the Checkout Building entrance. During heavy rains this water also enters the Checkout
Building. In order to alleviate this situation staff is proposing replacement of the existing small grate inlets
by larger inlets and replacement of the existing 6" pipe connection by an 18" diameter connection.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request for Qualification (RFQ) to energy service companies for City of El Segundo Energy Conservation
Performance Services.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Authorize staff to send out Requests for Qualification - City of El Segundo Energy Conservation
Performance Services to energy service companies.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The majority of City buildings were built or remodeled before energy efficient heating, cooling, and lighting
equipment were available as a cost effective alternative. Today technology has created fluorescent lights
which provide greater lumen levels and consume 35% less electricity. Electronic controls for HVAC
systems provide greater building comfort while reducing energy consumption.
DISCUSSION:
To determine if the City could save money by developing and implementing an energy conservation
program for its buildings, staff took advantage of a no -cost energy audit and feasibility study offered by
Landis & Staefa, Inc. Due to the staff time required to perform a feasibility site survey and analysis of
energy bills, they surveyed only three buildings: City Hall, the Police Station, and Urho Saari Swim
Stadium. The results are as follows:
• Energy expenditures at the City Hall and Police Station are 48% higher than at a similar facility.
• Energy expenditures at the Urho Saari Swim Stadium are 78% higher than comparable indoor pool
facilities.

PW- OCT7.10 (Wednesday 10/1/97 8:00 AM)
DISCUSSION (continued)
By performing the energy efficiency retrofits outlined in their survey, Landis & Staefa estimate the annual
energy cost savings for these three buildings would be $64,000.00. Based on the estimated savings in
these three buildings, staff feels that additional savings exist in the remaining City buildings.
The City can accomplish these energy efficient retrofits at no net increase in cost to the City. This is
accomplished by using an energy management company who performs the energy audit, designs projects,
finances the project through energy savings, and guarantees the savings will pay the projects costs.
Additional benefits of this type of program include the replacement of older equipment with no impact on
the general fund, and reduced maintenance costs.
Staff has prepared the attached RFQ which states the City's interest in contracting for a full range of energy
services and energy - related capital improvements (financed through a performance -based contract,
guaranteed savings or similar agreement at no initial capital cost to the City of El Segundo). The criteria
staff will use to evaluate the RFQs will include past retrofit projects which were similar to that requested
for El Segundo. The areas to be evaluated will include, but are not limited to: documented energy savings
of previous projects, demonstrated ability to provide or arrange project financing, an energy audit, the
design, acquisition, installation, modification, and training in the operation of existing and new equipment
which will reduce energy consumption. Areas the consultant will be requested to include in their evaluation
are heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, the lighting system, building envelope, the domestic
hot water system, swimming pool heating, and other energy using devices. Fuel switching or rate changes
will also be investigated. Services requested also include the training of facility staff with respect to routine
maintenance and operation of all improvements. Staff will review all proposals and select and interview the
three contractors whose proposals best suit the needs of El Segundo.
Staff is requesting council to authorize the solicitation of RFQs from energy management services. The
actual selection of the company to develop an energy management program will be brought back to the
Council for review and approval.

Executive Summary
Landis & Staefa, in conjunction with the City of El Segundo, is pleased to present the
following feasibility study on the possibilities of using a Landis & Staefa energy services
performance contract in enhancing the energy efficiency of the City facilities at the City
of El Segundo.
The concept behind Landis & Staefa's Energy Services/Performance Contracting
offering is that it allows municipalities to perform important energy saving retrofits and
capital modernization programs without providing the initial capital expenditure. The
energy and operational savings which are a result of the energy saving retrofits can be
used to finance other important programs in the City, which may not be appropriately
funded.
During our feasibility study survey, as directed by the General Services Staff of the City
of El Segundo, Landis & Staefa focused on the following areas:
♦ Energy Efficiency Strategies
♦ Equipment Modernization
Based on our feasibility site survey and analysis of the energy bills of the City, Landis &
Staefa has made the following observations:
♦ Energy expenditures at the City Hall/Police Station are 48% higher than
similar facilities.
• Energy expenditures at the Urho Saari Swim Stadium are 78% higher than
comparable indoor pool facilities.
The results of our feasibility study shows that, by implementing a performance contract,
the City of El Segundo could perform a variety of important energy conservation
measures at the City Hall /Police Station and Urho Saari Swim Stadium.

General Program Notes:
Program Guarantees:
The energy services program we are discussing in this feasibility study is a guaranteed
program. This means that once our final engineering analysis has been conducted we
will stipulate how much the City of El Segundo will save in terms of energy costs
savings and operational costs savings. Our guarantee will assure that the City of El
Segundo will not have any out of pocket expenses in the implementation of this
program so the guarantee will be limited to the actual amount that the City pays for the
program in any given year with all excess energy savings dollars being the sole
property of the City of El Segundo. The reason we guarantee only the amount which a
given client pays for the program in any given year is to give the City of El Segundo an
incentive to implement a variety of energy savings measures which would be out of our
direct control (i.e. turning off the lights at night).
The guarantee would be an annual reconciliation of our estimated energy and
operational savings versus the actual savings. If the energy services program exceeds
our estimated savings all the increased savings dollars are the City's. If the energy
services program does not meet our guaranteed savings we will make up the difference
between the actual operational and energy savings and our guaranteed amount. This
reconciliation would be in the form of a direct payment to the City of El Segundo.
Performance Assurance:
As part of this energy services project, Landis & Staefa will be conducting quarterly
audits of the energy usage of the City of El Segundo facilities of which we have
performed our energy conservation measures.
The quarterly audit will consist of our energy engineering staff visiting the facilities to
assess operating conditions, analysis of the energy bills, meeting with designated City
employees to discuss the program, preparation of savings documentation and present
this documentation to designated City personnel.
If the quarterly audit uncovers some areas which need to be addressed to meet the
energy conservation goals the energy engineer assigned to the account will have the
responsibility to document and implement these improvement measures.

Request for Qualifications
ENERGY SERVICES PERFORMANCE CONTRACTING PROGRAM
The City of El Segundo is seeking qualifications from interested Energy Services
Companies (hereinafter referred to as contractor) capable of providing comprehensive
energy management and energy - related capital improvement services.
The City of El Segundo is interested in contracting for a full range of energy services and
energy - related capital improvements (financed through a performance -based contract,
guaranteed savings or similar agreement at no initial capital cost to the City of El
Segundo). These services may include but are not limited to: an energy audit, the
design acquisition, installation, modification, and training in the operation of existing and
new equipment which will reduce energy consumption associated with the heating,
ventilation and air conditioning system, the lighting system, building envelope, the
domestic hot water system, swimming pool heating, and other energy using devices; as
well as for savings which would not reduce consumption per se but are aimed at cost
savings, such as fuel switching or rate changes. Services requested also include the
training of facility staff with respect to routine maintenance and operation of all
improvements. Improvements must result in a guaranteed minimum of 10 percent (10 %)
energy savings. No contract term shall exceed ten (10) years in duration. The cost
savings achieved by the installed projects need to be sufficient to cover all project costs
including annual maintenance and monitoring fees for the duration of the contract term.
At a minimum, the energy savings projections should be structured to correspond to the
annual financing costs associated with the project.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS
It is anticipated that the process for the procurement of these energy services will
proceed in three stages.
1) SUBMISSION OF WRITTEN QUALIFICATIONS: The City of El Segundo and their
designated representatives will review and evaluate the written responses to this
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in accordance with the evaluation criteria
identified in Attachment A. The City of El Segundo will select one or more
qualified contractors to proceed to the oral interview stage of the procurement
process.
2) ORAL INTERVIEW: The chosen firms will participate in a detailed oral interview
to more fully discuss how their approach to this project satisfies the evaluation
criteria set forth in Attachment A. The Contractors will be required to answer
questions posed by the Project Evaluation Team. It will be the sole responsibility
of the Project Evaluation Team to recommend the selection of a Project Contractor
based upon the evaluation of written responses to the RFQ, and information
N:AGREEMNTIENERGY01 AM (9/30/97)
00291
obtained during the oral interview. A more complete description of the interview
format and logistical arrangements will be made available to the chosen contractor.
3) SELECTION OF CONTRACTOR TO DEVELOP CONTRACT: Once the best
qualified contractor has been selected, the City of El Segundo will ask the firm to
conduct a complete technical analysis of each of the City of El Segundo 's facilities
and propose contract terms concerning a complete set of proposed energy
improvements, the timetable for completing engineering and construction work, a
detailed description of services to be provided, specific financing arrangements as
required and terms, and an estimate of energy savings, as well as special
conditions offered by the company. The City of El Segundo will negotiate a final
contract for these services, which includes a minimum savings amount. If an
acceptable contract cannot be reached within 90 days from the date of vendor
selection, negotiations with the second - ranked vendor may be initiated. The City
in its sole discretion reserves the right to reject all submittals.
We recognize that detailed financial projections of project benefits are dependent upon
the scope of technical retrofits finally selected and installed. It is premature to place a
major emphasis on projected financial benefits prior to the completion of a detailed
engineering study and negotiation of the project structure. Respondents are encouraged
to carefully review the evaluation criteria in the RFQ under Financial Approach and to
respond as fully as possible.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Acceptance of the exterior painting of the Urho Saari Swim Stadium. Project No. PW 96 -12 (final contract
amount = $42,000.00).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Approve Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $2,000.00.
2. Accept the work as complete.
3. Authorize the City Clerk to file the City Engineer's Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles
County Recorder's Office.
4. Withhold $7,500.00 of final payment until resolution of outstanding claim.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The City Council on May 6, 1997, awarded a contract to Southland Construction Company in the amount
o $40,000.00 for the exterior painting of the Urho Saari Swim Stadium.
DISCUSSION:
Prior to painting the exterior walls and windows and during the preparatory work, it was discovered that the
wood framing around the 38 -upper level windows had been damaged by dry rot and was not salvageable.
Staff authorized the contractor to remove and replace this framing with new wood. The cost of this work,
which was not included in the original contract scope, is $2,000.00 for which City Council approval of
Change Order No. 1 is being requested.
The final contract amount, including Change Order No. 1, is $42,000.00. Sufficient funds are available in
the project budget to cover this amount and no additional appropriations are needed for this purpose.

PW- OCT7.13 (Wednesday 10/1/97 10:00 AM)
DISCUSSION: (continued)
The City Council previously directed withholding the $42,000.00 based upon the contractor's legal failure
to have proper insurance. Staff now has documentation which shows that the insurance broker had made
an error and that the necessary insurance was in place for the work performed by the contractor (see
attached letter and insurance certificate).
The claim on this project concerning paint overspray on a resident's car is still outstanding. The matter is
still in dispute and will probably be resolved in litigation. The City Attorney is recommending that $7,500.00
of the final payment be withheld until the dispute is resolved.
All work has been satisfactorily completed and staff recommends City Council acceptance of the completed
work.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Amend the Agreement between the City of El Segundo and Zakaroff Recycling Services for solid waste
services for City Buildings and Street Cans, to include transporting and disposal of internally generated
debris.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Reject all bids received concerning dumping fees.
2. Direct the City Attorney to prepare the contract amendment.
3. Authorize the mayor to execute the Contract.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The City disposes of approximately 1,000 tons of sweeper and internally generated debris annually. This
debris is hauled by City trucks to a transfer station, which in turn transports it to a landfill. The disposal of
this debris into a landfill exposes the City to possible liability should the landfill require some type of
governmental regulated clean -up.
DISCUSSION:
Nationwide Environmental Services, the City's contracted street sweeping company, dumps the debris it
collects at the Maintenance Facility. City crews also dump internally generated debris at the Facility. When
enough debris accumulates for a full truck load, Street Division staff haul it to a local transfer station for
disposal.
Staff solicited bids from three local transfer stations for disposal services (see attached summary sheet).
American Waste submitted the low bid of $32.95 per ton. Transportation costs, which include staff time
and vehicle operating cost, bring the total cost per ton to $35.58.

DISCUSSION: (continued)
Staff also solicited a quote from Zakaroff Recycling Services to provide a 25 yard roll -off box to be placed
at the Maintenance Facility. Street Division staff will load debris into the box and Zakaroff will transport it
to Puente Hills Landfill. The cost for Zakaroff to provide this service is $36.86 per ton or $1,280.00 per year
more than the Street Division cost.
If a landfill is found to contain hazardous materials and requires some type of clean -up or detoxification,
the cost would be born by the users of the facility. By utilizing the services of a transfer station, the City
does not have control over the debris once it is dropped off. The transfer station may elect to send the
debris to wherever it can get the lowest rate that day, exposing the City to possible liability at several
locations. The Solid Waste Contract for City Buildings and Street Cans between the City and Zakaroff
indemnifies the City for any costs associated with clean -up or detoxification of Municipal solid Waste. By
including the transportation and disposal of internally generated debris into the City's contract with Zakaroff,
the City will be protected from any future liability associated with this debris.
Staff recommends amending the Zakaroff contract to include the transportation and disposal of City
generated debris.

RE: Roll -Off Container Service for Street Sweeping Debris
Dear Jack:
In response to your inquiry regarding the above - referenced service, we will provide
this service to the City at a rate of $135.00 per pull plus dump fees at the Puente
Hills Landfill (currently $17.57 per ton), with a 7 ton limit per load. Although the
turn - around time in transporting the roll -off boxes to Puente Hills (as opposed to a
local transfer station) will increase our truck operating costs, it will, at the same
time, provide the City the benefit of a much lower disposal cost per ton than the
City is currently absorbing. it is our recommendation that a 25 yard roll -off box be
utilized for the type of material in question and to make it easier for the City to load
the box due to its shorter height. The dimensions for this box are 22 ft. L., 8 ft.
W. and 4 ft. H.
Please let me know the start date for service so that we can set up an account and
a service schedule.
Sincerely,
Mark D. zajian

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: City Manager
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration for City to submit a RFP to the Senior Housing Corporation for management of Park Vista
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Seek City Council direction
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
City Council, on August 5, 1997, approved the Request for Proposal soliciting the operation of Park
Vista Senior Housing complex. During discussion of the RFP's approval, Council expressed interest in
having the City participate in the bid process. All proposals are due to the Senior Housing Corporation
on October 24, 1997. To meet this deadline, several considerations must be reviewed by Council prior
to staff direction.
DISCUSSION:
The City currently contracts with the Senior Housing Corporation to oversee the management of Park
Vista. The Senior Housing Corporation in turn contracts with an outside management company to
provide the management services at Park Vista. The City's Recreation Superintendent also acts as
liaison to the Senior Housing Corporation. The liaison attends monthly board meetings, prepares the
Boards agendas and agenda items, provides communication and information between the Management
Company, their on -site staff, the Senior Housing Corporation and various City departments.
In staffs review of the approved RFP, the current organizational chart does not provide an appropriate
support system for city personnel or city paid contractors to operate as the on -site management of the
facility. In order for the City to submit a RFP for providing management services at Park Vista, staff
requests that Council review some of the many concerns, including:
• The current RFP specifies that the management of Park Vista be hired by and report
directly to the Corporation, which contradicts the city's established "organization ".
• If the City procures a management company or an employee, this would make the city
the employer, not the Corporation.
• The RFP requires experience in on -site operations and maintenance and that staff be
insured by a fidelity bond in the amount of $100,000.00 to manage the facility.
• A city employee or contractor on -site, paid for by the city, would eliminate or transfer
any remaining or necessary responsibilities from the liaison to the on -site management.
• In the RFP, the Corporation also reserves the right to audit the management of the
facility.
• There are distinct differences between the budgeting, procedures and operations of the
City and that of the Corporation.
• The Corporation pays a management fee to the management company of Park Vista.
• Several sections of the RFP mention " hold harmless" and /or "additionally insured"
agreements between the Corporation and the Management of the facility.
The implications of actually providing management services for the Senior Housing Corporation are
complex, requiring immediate and substantial review by Council with legal consideration in order to
comply with the RFP requirements and meet all deadlines therein.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 7, 1997
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: City Manager, New Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request for City Council action related to Southern California Edison Company's (SCE) Utility User Tax (UUT).
Fiscal Impact, $175,000 revenue.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
As provided for in Municipal Code Section 3.24.160, the City Council suspend, for the 1997 -98 fiscal year, UUT
taxes on SCE in excess of $175,000 for the utilization of natural gas to produce electrical energy within the City of
El Segundo.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
For several years prior to the adoption of Propositions H and I in 1996, the City suspended the UUT imposed on
SCE for the use of natural gas in the generation of electricity at the El Segundo Steam Plant. The reason for this
exemption was that SCE had received a ruling from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) that would
have allowed SCE to charge the cost of the tax back on El Segundo users of electrical power. In May of 1997, the
City Council determined that it would no longer continue the suspension of the tax and took an action to fix the tax
for the 1996 -97 fiscal year at $175,000.
DISCUSSION:
At the time of the action on the UUT for the 1996 -97 fiscal year (May 1996), the City was of the opinion that the
$175,000 amount would be determined by the CPUC to be at a level of taxation that was not excessive and,
therefore, it would not allow SCE to spread the tax against the El Segundo consumers. SCE did not agree with
this position and maintained that it would charge the tax back against the El Segundo consumers. As of this time,
this charge back has not occurred. Staff is of the opinion that a UUT in the amount of $175,000 for the 1997 -98
fiscal year will not entitle SCE to charge this amount back against the El Segundo consumer.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business - City Manager
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
An Amendment to the City's Municipal Code to reflect the City Council's decision to adopt the Standardized
Emergency Management System.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
As of December 1, 1996 all local government agencies must use the Standardized Emergency Management
System (SEMS) in multi - jurisdictional or multi- agency emergency responses to be eligible for state reimbursement
of response - related personnel costs. Assuming the City Council has adopted the Resolution to adopt the

From; Councilman Liam Weston
RE: Resolution in support of the POW/MIA flags in government buildings
P.01
As you may be aware, the Postmaster General has been in a struggle with local
organizations and the City of Lomita after preventing them from flying the POW / MIA
flags in their local post office. The U.S, Congress finally took action to allow the black
POW / M1A flag to fly below the American flag in Federal buildings.
The following resolution was passed in nearly all our neighboring cities to show support
for the armed service personnel either missing in action or held as prisoners of war from
various conflicts. They have suffered unimaginable pain to protect our freedom.
El Segundo citizens are among the many Americans who were captured as prisoners of
war or declared missing in action and never heard from again. In honor of them, I request
the City of El Segundo join our neighboring cities in displaying the POW / MIA flab over
City Hall and other city owned buildings where the American flag is displayed.

Jane Friedkin, Councilwoman
FROM Mike Gordon, Councilman
SUBJECT City Hall Parking
At the last City Council meeting I requested that the parking problem expressed by Ms. Sue
McManus, 328 Standard Street, be agendized for this meeting.
I have discussed the issues with both Ms. McManus and City staff and have come up with
what I feel is a good solution. The elimination of the daytime City employee only restriction
for the parking lot at Holly Avenue and Standard Street should provide sufficient flexibility for
all the parties involved to deal with the issue.
It is my understanding that direction from the City Council is all that is required to initiate the
change. It is my request that the City Council direct staff to eliminate the "employee only"
parking restriction for the City parking lot located at Holly Avenue and Standard Street.

From: Marlene Baker, Executive Assistant
Subject: Request by St. Anthony's Church
Attached is a letter from Sharon Puchalski, Carnival Chairman at St. Anthony's
Church which was received in our office on October 3, 1997 after the agenda for the October 7,
1997 meeting was posted. St. Anthony Church plans to hold its annual carnival on the parish
grounds on October 24 -26, 1997 and, as they have been granted by Council in the past, asks that
the City waive our charges for City permits and allow them to obtain a temporary 3 -day liquor
license from the ABC. I have also attached to this memo copies of the Church's 1996 and 1995
requests.
I would appreciate it if you would consider this as an urgency item inasmuch as
the next regular Council meeting is only 3 days prior to their Carnival.

The dates this year will be November 1, 2, and 3rd 1996. The hours will be 5 - 11 P.M. on
Friday, Noon to 11 P.M. on Saturday and Noon to 9 P.M. on Sunday. This year we will once
again be having Dwayn DeBoW of Apollo Amusements. He is well known in the business and
has extensive experience in this area.
We will not require any special police involvement other than normal duty, looking in on the
carnival from time to time. I will arrange to obtain the necessary permits from the building and
fire departments.
There is one request that I would like to ask of you. As I understand it, there is a charge for a
permit and also for the electrical permit. These charges may be waived by action of the City
Council and they have done so for us in the past.
I do not know what these charges will be at this time, since the building department said the
cost of the electrical permit is based on the equipment used. In any case, I would appreciate it if
you would request the waiver of these fees at the next City Council meeting. Also we would like
approval to obtain our usual 3 day liquor license from the ABC so we may once again have our
beer garden.
If you have any questions regarding the upcoming carnival, please feel free to call me at (714)
221 -8376 during the day or (310) 644 -6290 after 6 P.M.
Thank you for your cooperation.
