AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Order of Business - Public Hearing
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Public Hearing on Environmental Assessment EA -439 and Subdivision Extension 98 -2 for a one (1) year extension

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

3) Reading of Resolution by title only; and,

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The Planning Division received the above referenced application on March 30, 1998. The application requests City
Council approval of a Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for Environmental Assessment (EA -439) and
adoption of an extension to Vesting Tentative Map No. 51109 for one year. The project was originally approved by the
City Council on May 4, 1993, and is valid through May 4, 1998. Pursuant to City policy, the Vesting Tentative Map
approval is automatically extended during the processing of the extension, as the incomplete request was submitted
on March 30, 1998, prior to the expiration date of the map. Pursuant to City requirements, the body approving the
original project (City Council) must also approve any modifications to the project. The extension, if granted, will also
apply to the other project approvals (SHSP 92 -1). No changes in the project are proposed.
DISCUSSION:
On July 9, 1998, the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing, reviewed the facts and findings related to
Environmental Assessment EA- 439 and Subdivision Extension 98 -2, and adopted Resolution No. 2421. Planning
Commission Resolution No. 2421 recommends that the City Council Approve EA -439 and SUB 98 -2.

AT 1415 EAST GRAND AVENUE AND CERTIFICATION OF A NEGATIVE
DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FOR

on 1.59 acres located at 1415 East Grand Avenue in the Medium Density Residential (MDR) Overlay Zone; and,
WHEREAS, an Environmental Assessment (EA -439), including a Draft Initial Study and Negative Declaration
of Environmental Impacts for the proposed use, has been prepared and circulated to all interested parties and Staff, for
review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the application and supporting evidence with the authority
and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act, State CEQA Guidelines and the City of El Segundo
Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Resolution No. 3805); and ,
WHEREAS, on July 9, 1998, the Planning Commission did hold, pursuant to law, a duly advertised public
hearing on such matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street, and notice of the public hearing was
given in the time, form and manner prescribed by law; and the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2421 on
July 9, 1998 recommending approval of the proposed Subdivision extension; and,
WHEREAS, on July 21, 1998, the City Council did hold, pursuant to law, a duly advertised public hearing on
such matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street, and notice of the public hearing was given in the
time, form and manner prescribed by law; and,
WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of Environmental
Assessment EA -439 and Subdivision Extension 98 -2; and,
WHEREAS, at said hearings the following facts were established:
1. The approved project is for the construction of a 28 unit townhouse -style condominium project at a density of
17.6 units per acre with 84 garage parking spaces and 9 guest parking spaces on a 1.59 acre site at 1415 E.
Grand Avenue in the Medium Manufacturing (M -M) zone.
2. The approved project includes the implementation of the Medium Density Residential (MDR) Floating Zone
in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area, which required City Council approval and certification of an
Environmental Impact Report.
3. The approved proposal complies with all applicable requirements of the Medium Density Residential (MDR)
Floating Zone.
4. The subject proposal is to extend the previously approved project, covered by the following previous approvals
and agreements:
� o LI
Environmental Assessment EA -285, Subdivision 92 -3, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 51109, and

certifying a Environmental Impact Report for a 28 unit condominium project at the northwest corner
of Grand Avenue and Kansas Street (1415 East Grand Avenue).

adopted in 1993 provided for an automatic two year extension of tentative tract maps which had not expired
by September 13, 1993. Assembly Bill 771, which was signed into law on May 15, 1996, also provided for an
additional one year automatic extension of tentative maps in effect at the time of passage of the law. These two
laws, combined with the original two year approval, extended the expiration date of Vesting Tentative Tract Map
No. 51109 to May 4, 1998.
6. 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

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 City Council authorizes and directs the Director of Planning and Building Safety to file with the
appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and de minimis finding pursuant to AB 3158 and the
California Code of Regulations. Within ten (10) days of the approval of the 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 approved subdivision to create condominium ownership, and the design of the proposed townhouse -style
multiple - family residences are consistent with the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan through the activation of the
Medium Density Residential (MDR) Floating Zone.
2. The site is physically suitable for residential townhouse development at the proposed density of one unit per
2,474 square feet of site area (28 units or 17.6 units per acre).

pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 3969.

City of El Segundo Departments of Planning and Building Safety, and Public Works for review and approval.

other uses, as approved by the Los Angeles County Health Department and the City Department of Public
Works. If necessary, said plans shall include an approval from West Basin Municipal Water District, the
supplier of reclaimed water systems. If the water provider is unable to make reclaimed water available for the
project prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, then potable water. may be utilized until such time as
reclaimed water is available. As soon as reclaimed water is available, then it shall be utilized.
4. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall develop plans which indicate that the project is in
substantial conformance with plans approved and on file with the Department of Planning and Building
Safety. Any subsequent modification to the project as approved shall be referred to the Director of Planning
and Building Safety for a determination regarding the need for Planning Commission review of the proposed
modification.
5. The developer shall develop the property in accordance with the applicable provisions of previously approved
City Council Resolution No. 3811.

adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the project is in a built -
out urban environment; and
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
minimis finding pursuant to AB 3158 and the California Code of Regulations. Within ten (10) days of the

Environmental Assessment EA -439, Subdivision 98 -2, Address: 1415 East Grand EA -439
Avenue, Applicant and Property Owner: Jim Kizirian, was presented next. Ms. Jester
presented the Staff Report as outlined in the Agenda Packet.
Mr. Cheledon stated there's a specific section in the Subdivision Map Act that relates to
Vesting Tentative Maps and provides the discretion of the Planning Commission to either
deny or condition an extension to the Vesting Tentative Map. It is limited to only two
circumstances: When a condition is required to comply with the requirement of federal or
state law, and when a new condition is required because there's a public health and safety
threat to the immediate surrounding neighborhood. The conditions that are proposed
tonight only clarify conditions that were initially placed on the property at the time of the
initial approval.
Commissioner O'Heam asked if there are plans on file for what type of buildings that are
going to be built? Could the building permit be able to require changes that have
occurred in the last five years be incorporated into those plans? Ms. Jester stated the
plans that are on file are the plans on the wall. They have not been submitted to the
Building Safety Division for plan check. This is one area where vesting map does not vest
your right under the old 1993 Uniform Building, Plumbing, and Mechanical Codes. You
must comply with the current codes. This is also the same for development agreements.
07- 09- 98.min
Mr. Cheledon stated it is a subsequent permit to the permit that's before the Commission
tonight. Mr. Bernard stated they must be in substantial conformance with those plans that "R4
have been vested but at the same time the technical drawings are yet to be submitted and
permits will be issued once they're submitted in plan check. F
r
Commissioner Palmer asked if the parking was already adequate? Ms. Jester stated the
developer planned and accommodated for three car garages in all of the units.
Vice-Chair Wycoff asked when the plans were drawn up and if they're not submitted, are
they still valid? Ms. Jester stated they are the plans from 1993, the original application.
They are valid from a Planning standpoint, but they have not yet drawn the construction
drawings that are required for Building and Safety. Permits have not been issued yet.
Vice -Chair Wycoff asked about Condition #1 if the date of May 4, 1999 would stay the
same if a final map is approved or another extension is requested? Ms. Jester stated this
date was specifically put in to clarify this since the Planning Commission's action will be
after this date. Staff took it from a year from when it would have expired. This is
considered a project under CEQA and that's why the Planning Commission is required
to review it with a Negative Declaration. Staff did not feel that they could do it with an
exemption. The extension itself is what the Negative Declaration is for, not the entire
project. The entire project was approved already with an Environmental Impact Report.
Chairman Crowley asked about the hookup to reclaimed water supply and if there is a
pipe in the vicinity that can be tapped into? Ms. Jester stated she believes the closest
pipeline may be in El Segundo Boulevard. Once a project is approved, the developer
submits preliminary plans to West Basin. West Basin will then budget for that line
extension and then install the extension themselves up to the property. The developer is
then responsible from there.
Chairman Crowley stated on Page 2 of the Negative Declaration, regarding the approved
project to the north, the approval has expired. He stated there could be an MDR built to
the north under current rules but the old design that was originally approved is no longer
valid. Ms. Jester stated they will change the language on Page 2 stating it is no longer an
approved project to the north.
For information, MDR is an acronym for Medium Density Residential.
Elizabeth Srour, 1001 6th Street, Manhattan Beach PUBLIC
COMMENTS
She is representing the applicant and property owner, Jim Kizirian. She is requesting the
extension for one year for the Vesting Tentative Tract Map. They have been working with
staff closely to come to an understanding of what the process would be and are aware of
the reasons for this hearing and the analysis that staff has prepared including the two
conditions. The architect for this project was not available this evening. In the original
approval by City Council and Planning Commission, it was found that this proposal was
a very sensible decision with regard to the relationship of this proposed project and the
adjacent land uses. The access relationship to the streets and other issues were also
addressed pertaining to the neighborhood. It was found consistent with the pattern of
transition in the area and with the goals, policies and objectives of the Smoky Hollow
Specific Plan. She and the property owner agrees to the conditions and hopes for approval
of this project.
Commissioner O'Hearn asked what the probability of development will be? Ms. Srour
stated Mr. Kizirian has already submitted his final map to the County Engineer and has
0'J _l "
07- 09- 9g.min
made a commitment to moving forward with the project. Because of the size of the
project and complexity, there are many components that have to be balanced including the
approval of the recordation of the Map. This process itself with the County takes time and O
funds. It was not possible to have the map recorded by the May expiration date.
s drawn u and read to o once the
Vice -Chair Wycoff asked if there are current plan p Y g r
County gives the approval? Ms. Srour stated Mr. Kizirian is working with his architect,
Douglas Leach and she is not sure how close they are in terms of the construction
drawings. There is a time line that is set in place by the Code and by the Subdivision Map
Act. Building Codes must be met at the time of submittal.
Vice -Chair Wycoff asked if the current plans follow the drawings? Ms. Srour stated yes,
the conceptual plans before the Commission do regulate the development that will come
before the building official and if there is any deviation from that, the staff is charged with
evaluating that and bringing it to the Commission's attention. The Staff Report from 1993
is included in the packet and it makes it clear that this project was far in excess of the basic
standards at that time.
Chairman Crowley stated he reviewed this as a Planning Commissioner in 1993 and they
sent the architect back to the drawing board and he came up with this plan which meets
all the original requirements. It didn't require any variances at the time. It meets the
density requirements. It was estimated back in 1993 to generate revenues of $15,500 but
the costs annually for services would create approximately $47,200.
Commissioner O'Hearn moved that they approve this Resolution recommending to the
MOTION
City Council approval of the extension of the Vesting Tentative Map until May 4, 1999
and also adopting the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts. Commissioner
Palmer seconded. Passed 4-0.

SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment EA -439 Subdivision 98-2
Extension of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 51109,
Smoky Hollow Site Plan SHSP 92 -1 for 28 Unit Condominium Project
Address: 1415 East Grand Avenue
Applicant and Property Owner: Jim Kizirian
The proposed project is a request for a one (1) year extension to a previously approved Vesting
Tentative Tract Map for a 28 -unit condominium project to be constructed at 1415 East Grand
Avenue. The purpose of the extension is to allow additional time for the development of the project.
The project was originally approved by the City Council on May 4,1993 and is valid through May 4,
1998. Pursuant to City policy, the Vesting Tentative Map approval is automatically extended during
the processing of the extension, as the request was submitted on March 30, 1998, prior to the
expiration date of the map. The extension, if granted, will also apply to the other project approvals
(SHSP 92 -1). No changes in the project are proposed.
The Planning staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2421
recommending that the City Council approve Environmental Assessment EA -439 and Subdivision
98 -2 (Extension); and, find that there are no potential environmental impacts created by the project.
The Staff report prepared on April 8, 1993 for approval of the original project (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.
00919
The proposed project is the one year extension of a previously approved Vesting Tentative Tract
Map and associated approvals for the construction of a 28 -unit townhouse -style condominium at
1415 East Grand Avenue. The purpose of the extension is to allow additional time for the
development of the project. The approved project is composed of five separate buildings. The 28
condominiums consist of two unit designs with 1844 -1851 square feet of living area, a ground floor
enclosed patio, three different balconies, plus a three (3) car garage. Each unit consists of three
(3) levels with a three car garage on the semi - subterranean bottom level, kitchen and living areas
on the second level, and bedrooms on the third level. Nine visitor parking spaces, two trash
enclosures, and an outdoor swimming pool with poolhouse are proposed on the lot.
The original application included a request to activate the "floating" Medium Density Residential
(MDR) Zone for the site (SHSP 92 -1). The project also included an application for condominium
ownership (Subdivision 92- 3/Vesting Tentative Tract Map 51109).
As part of the City's review of the request to activate the "floating" Medium Density Residential Zone,
a focused Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared to address land use,
transportation/circulation, utilities, noise, and air quality. The SEIR was certified by the City Council
on May 4, 1993.
The approved project site is located on the northwest comer of Grand Avenue and Kansas Street
in the Medium - Manufacturing (MM) Zone in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area. The site currently
consists of one (1) lot which is 1.59 acres. The site is currently developed with two single story
industrial buildings. All of the existing buildings would be demolished. A strip at the top of the slope
along the north property line is an abandoned railroad right -of -way which is currently used for
parking/storage automobiles. The lot slopes gradually down from the south to the north with a steep
descending slope of eight (8) feet in average height right along the northern property line. The lot
also slopes from west to east with a twelve (12) foot decrease in elevation.
The surrounding area is developed with multiple - family residential units immediately to the west, and
industrial buildings to the north, east, and across Grand Avenue to the south. To the north of the
site, across Holly Avenue, is a single - family residential area and a parkette.
Surrounding land uses are as follows:
MOM
North: Light Industrial MM (MDR Floating)
South: Light Industrial MM (GAC Floating)
East : Light Industrial MM (MDR Floating)
West: Multiple Family Residential MDR

The original project was approved by the City Council on May 4, 1993. Pursuant to Section
19.04.150 and 19.08.030 C. of the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC), the development rights
granted by the approval of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map would expire two years following
approval of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map unless the Final Tract Map was recorded. Prior to the
scheduled expiration date (May 4, 1995), a new State law was adopted (Senate Bill 428) which
automatically extended the development right for projects with approved Tentative Tract Maps for
two years. Subsequently, another automatic one year extension was adopted by the State
(Assembly Bill 771). This extended the expiration date of the Tentative Tract Map to May 4, 1998.
Section 19.04.150 C. of the ESMC provides for the approval of up to five (5) one year extensions,
subject to the approval of the Planning Commission, and in this case, the City Council because the
City Council approved the original project.
The site is designated as Smoky Hollow Mixed -Use in the General Plan Land Use Element, and the
site is zoned Medium Manufacturing (MM) with a "floating" Medium Density Residential (MDR) Zone.
The project meets the current development standards for density. The Smoky Hollow Specific Plan
at the time of approval allowed 22 -units per acre for parcels of between one and three acres. The
General Plan and current Zoning code allows 18 -units per acre for the same size parcels. The
project proposed 17.6 -units per acre.
The approved vesting tentative tract map is consistent with the land use pattern of the adjacent
MDR property to the west and the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan. The approved use, however, may
not be consistent with the current light industrial uses adjacent to the north, to the south across
Grand Avenue, and to the east across Kansas Street. However, the designation of the area in the
Smoky Hollow Specific Plan for residential uses through the "Floating" MDR Zone anticipated that
the property might be converted to residential use while the light industrial uses to the north, east
and south would remain.
The proposed extension of the approved tentative tract map for the condominium development is
consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan to preserve and maintain the
City's low- medium density residential nature and promote construction of high quality multi - family
residential developments. It is consistent with the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan which provides the
Medium Density Residential Zone as a transition area from the single family residences to the north
and the industrial uses to the south. Additionally, it would permit an underdeveloped property
designated as residential to develop with a diversity of types, prices and tenure. 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 extension of the proposed project. No significant adverse
environmental impacts were identified, and a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is
proposed. A final Initial Study will be prepared by staff based on any mitigation measures that might
�3
be required by the Planning Commission or City Council. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was
also previously certified by the City Council on May 4,1993 under EA -285. This project is identical
to that previously covered by the certified EIR. Staff and the City Attorney determined an Initial Study
should be prepared to because the extension of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map is considered a
project under CEQA and not categorically exempt from environmental review. Therefore, a Notice
of Determination has been prepared by staff.
DISCUSSION
The original project included the approval of a Vesting Tentative Tract Map in conjunction with the
Smoky Hollow Site Plan. A Vesting Tract Map is designed to lock in the policies and regulation in
effect at the time of project approval, to provide the developer assurances that the project can be
built as approved. However, since the approval of a extension to the Vesting Tentative Tract Map
is a discretionary action by the Planning Commission and City Council, the City does have the
authority to condition the extension or modify the existing conditions of approval. In light of this, there
are two conditions of approval for the original project that staff believes should be revised at this
time.
Condition of Approval No. 17 of City Council Resolution No. 3811 for the approved project, stated
that transportation impact fees would have to be paid, in accordance with a pending study of
transportation impacts being undertaken by the City. The City did complete that transportation fee
study and adopted a Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee Program on May 21, 1996. In order to clarify that
the approved project is subject to the fees set forth in City Council Resolution No. 3969, staff
recommends a Condition of approval be added to the proposed extension stating that the project
is subject to the adopted Traffic Mitigation Fee Program. The fees would total approximately
$1,660.00.
Condition of Approval No. 31 K of City Council Resolution No. 3811 requires a separate landscaping
irrigation water system from the domestic supply system to support the future use of reclaimed water
for irrigation of the landscaping. While the Condition states that reclaimed water would be provide
by the City in 1994 -95, reclaimed water will actually be provided by the West Basin Municipal Water
District in the near future. Staff recommends that a new condition of approval be added to the
proposed extension to clarify that the landscaping irrigation must be hooked up to the facilities of
West Basin Water District when available.
The project application and plans were not circulated to inter - departmental staff because there were
no changes proposed in the development of the project and all department reviewed the project
prior to its approval in 1993.

SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment EA -286, Subdivision 92-3,
Smoky Hollow Site Plan 92-1, Vesting Tentative Map 61109
1416 E. Grand Avenue
Applicant: Jim Kisrian
REQUEST
The proposed project is the construction of a 28 -unit Townhouse -style condominium at a
density of 1 7.6 units per acre (18 units per acre permitted) on a L69 acre site. The project
is located at the northwest corner of Grand Avenue and Kansas Street in the Medium
Manufacturing (MM) zone in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area The application includes
a subdivision request to create condominium ownership and a request to activate the Medium
Density Residential (MDR) zoning on the site. The project has been redesigned since the
public hearing notice was published and since the distribution of the DSEIR. The variance
for the north and south side yard landscape encroachments, the Grand Avenue emergency
vehicle access, and the 12 foot high north side retaining wall associated with the project have
been eliminated.
RECOMMENDATION
As the advisory body for the project, the Commission shall consider the following for
recommendation to the Council:
1. Approval /denial of Smoky Hollow Site Plan 92.1 to ensure consistency of the site plan
with the intent of the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan and to activate the Medium Density
Residential Zoning on the site.
2. Approval /denial of Subdivision 92-3, Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 61009 to create
28 residential condominium ownerships.
4. Certification that the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (EA -286) is an
adequate and complete document.
Staff recommends the Planning Commission find that the project adequately meets the intent
of the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan, and that all of the environmental impacts created by the
project can be adequately mitigated by the proposed conditions. Further, that the activation
of the MDR zone is in conformance with the City's policies and goals for the Smoky Hollow
area and that these can be achieved by the approval of the proposed project which is
substantially in conformance with the Plan's development regulations. Staff further
recommends that the Planning Commission find that the subdivision application may be
approved in accordance with the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan and the City's subdivision
ordinance.
The State Clearinghouse review period for public agencies ended on April 6, 1993, so at this
time the Commission may take action on these applications. Therefore, staff recommends that
the Commission open the public hearing, take public testimony, and take action on the
proposed project. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend certification to
the City Council of the draft SEIR as an adequate and complete document, and approval of
Smoky Hollow Site Plan 92 -1 and Subdivision 92.3, by adopting draft Resolution 2336.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The site is currently developed with two single story industrial buildings which would be
demolished. The larger of the existing buildings is currently occupied by Overland Technology
Corporation (OTC), which designs and assembles different type of technological equipment. The
rear of the larger structure is also occupied by a new small airfreight /cargo storage firm (KRD
Cargo Systems). The smaller building, on the north end of the site, is occupied by a
manufacturer of flags, banners and signs. Previous to these uses the whole site was occupied
by Wyrefab, a manufacture of greeting card stands. A strip approximately 66 feet wide at the
0002 ^
top of the slope along the north property line is an abandoned railroad right- of-way which is
currently used for parking/storage of dismantled and wrecked automobiles.
The lot slopes from west to east with a twelve (12) foot decrease in elevation and a steep
descending slope of eight (8) feet in average height right along the northern property line.
,SURROUNDING AREA CHARACTERISTICS
The surrounding area is developed with multiple - family residential units immediately to the
west, and industrial buildings to the north, east, and across Grand Avenue to the south. A
similar 28 unit condominium project has been approved for the site adjacent to the north
property line (EA -227, Holly Park Townhomes). This was the second project approved under
the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan Medium Density Residential Floating Zone. To the north of
that site is a single - family residential area

The proposed project consists of six (6) buildings, containing four (4) to seven (7) units each,
for a total of twenty -eight (28) unit& Each unit consists of three (3) levels with a three car
garage on the semi- subterranean bottom level. Kitchen and living areas are on the second
level, and the bedrooms and two baths are on the third level.
Twenty -one (21) units would be three bedroom, two and a half baths with 1,861 square feet
each, and seven (7) units would be two bedroom, two and a half baths with 1,844 square feet
of area Each unit also provides approximately 118 square feet of private patios off of the
living room and bedrooms. The total square footage does not include the three car enclosed
garage. Nine (9) open guest parking spaces are provided in five (b) separate areas on the
project site.
The main entrance and exit for the project would be off of Kansas Street; a second exit, which
was proposed on Grand Avenue as an emergency vehicle only access, has been deleted from
the plan. The access point on Kansas Street will be controlled by security gates. Approximately
20,840 square feet or 30% of the total site area would be open space. This area includes the
projects' swimming pool, private patios and landscaped areas throughout the site. The design
of the units would be traditional 'cape cod' with a wood shingle siding, round wood columns,
and a wood shingle roof. Decorative wood railings would highlight the second story windows.
INTER- DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
The project application and plans were circulated in August, 1992. Inter- departmental
comments are attached to the report and most have been incorporated into the Draft
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR). The DSEIR was circulated to all
departments for review and comment on February 19, 1993. All of the comments received
will be responded to and, if appropriate, incorporated into the Final EIR.
The Fire Department has commented that the project must have a residential fire sprinkler
system as specified in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan and that fire hydrants and fire
department access are minimum requirements, although two access points into the project are
not required. The Fire Department comments on access were based on the original site plan.
Now, according to the Fire Department, the revised site plan meets the access requirements
of the Fire Code. Additionally, they have indicated that Knox boxes or locks will be required
on all security gates. The Police Department provided a list of standard conditions that have
been incorporated into the conditions of approval and will be included in the Final SEIR. The
Building Safety Division has indicated that no specific comments are being provided at this
time, and that plans will be reviewed for code conformance when they are submitted to plan
check.
The Department of Public Works indicated that a corner cut -off at the intersection of Kansas
Street and Grand Avenue for sidewalks should be dedicated to the City and that street lights
be installed on both Grand Avenue and Kansas Street frontages. The undergrounding of
overhead utilities along Grand Avenue and Kansas Street is being requested, if a study to be
prepared by the applicant shows that the work is feasible. Staff recommends that a piecemeal
approach to utility undergrounding should not be initiated. Only through an assessment
district should undergrounding of a whole area be required. Additional recommendations, such
x;019 25
as replacing the entire sewer main from Grand Avenue to Holly Avenue, were also required
of the Holly Park project. Public Works has commented that whichever of the two projects
begins construction first should be required to carry out this work.
The Department of Public Works is recommending a fair share traffic impaot fee of $020
per gross square foot of building and parking area. While acknowledging that no nexus has
yet to be established between this amount and any planned traffic improvements in the area,
Public Works is recommending the fee be applied until they complete a traffic impact fee
study. This fee is based on a consensus of fees from previously approved projects. Sta$
however, is recommending that no traffic impact fee be applied until the Department of Public
Works completes its fee study and provides a nexus
Public Works also commented that 1988 traffic counts should have been used instead of 1991
because 1988 is recognized as the worst -case base line year to use for traffic comparison In
the DSEIR the 1991 figures that were used were based on actual traffic counts that were
taken for the Holly Park project DSEIR. These figures indicate that traffic was worse in 1991
at the intersection of Sepulveda Blvd. and Grand Avenue, operating at level "C' instead of
Level "B', than it was in 1988. This intersection is considered the critical intersection for any
impacts from the project. Thus the new 1991 figures were used as worse case scenario with
a standard growth factor for a 1993 base year. As a result of this, Staff will direct the traffic
consultant to recalculate the future traffic volumes and cumulative impacts by eliminating from
the related projects, all projects built between 1988 and 1991 which have been double counted.
This should reduce the future traffic that is forecast for the area
Standard conditions of approval from several departments which are based on various code
requirements are not included in the Conditions of Approval. These standard conditions will
be incorporated into the Mitigation Monitoring report which will be acted upon by the City
Council as part of the Final EIR .
ANALYSIS
The following outlines each of the applications which require review and approval by the
Planning Commission and City Council:
a) SMOKY HOLLOW SITE PLAN 92 -1
The Smoky Hollow Spec Plan in Section III -F, pages III -18 and 19, describes the procedure
and criteria through which the Medium Density Residential District (MDR) may be activated.
The criteria state that this area should provide sufficient buffering and open space and provide
a transition between the existing residential neighborhoods to the north and more intensive
industrial uses throughout the rest of the Smoky Hollow area The criteria indicates that the
MDR zone should be developed at a density that is lower than R -3 standards. Residential
development is excluded from the remaining area of the Specific Plan except for single
caretaker units. This section of the plan also specifies the uses allowed, the site development
standards, landscape requirements, and parking requirements in the MDR zone. The site
development standards for the MDR zone are based on the R -3 zoning district standards
although they are more restrictive in certain circumstances due to the unique characteristics
of the district.
On May 11, 1989, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1137 which revised the R -3
development standards. Since the MDR development standards are based on the R -3 standards,
where the new R -3 standards are more restrictive than specified in the Smoky Hollow Specific
Plan, staff has applied the more restrictive standard.
The new General Plan has subsequently reduced the density allowed for residential uses on
lots of 1 -3 acres from 22 units per acre to 18 units per acre. The General Plan has also
changed the requirement that all lots to be developed for residential use be at least 2.5 acres
or one complete block. The General Plan now states that "existing lots less than 2.5 acres in
size, which are totally surrounded by other land use designations and confined by existing
streets shall be allowed to develop as multi - family residential without a variance'. Therefore,
the variance being requested for the 2.5 acre minimum lot has been eliminated from the
project. The following chart reflects these revised standards.

The proposed project meets or exceeds all of the development standards required by the
Smoky Hollow Specific Plan. The site plan in the DEER included variances for the lack of
landscaping in the south and north side yards, Grand Avenue access and a 12 foot retaining
wall along the north property line. These variance requests are no longer part of the project.
Staff believes the proposed protect is consistent with the intent and goals of the Smoky Hollow
Specific Plan and the MDR zone. The Specific Plan states that the floating zone is a 'second
generation' approach to land use planning. This zone was designated in response to market
changes and demands identified through the Specific Plan process. The project provides
sensible land use planning in relationship to adjacent land uses, arterial streets, and overall
locational requirements.
The proposal is consistent with the pattern of transition in land uses which is occurring in
Smoky Hollow. This transition is consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of the
Smoky Hollow Specific Plan. The proposal preserves the applicant's property rights by allowing
the development of a project which is consistent with the MDR zone goals, policies and
objectives. These goals indicate that residential uses must improve the overall quality of the
area both physically and visually. By removing the existing industrial buildings and asphalt
parking lots, and adding new condominiums, landscaping and public improvements, the site will
be improved both physically and visually. The new use will also be compatible with the
proposed multi- family residential to the north and multiple family residential to the west
which is consistent with Smoky Hollow Specific Plan goals.
c) SUBDIVISION 92- 3Msting Tentative Mau 61109
The Smoky Hollow Specific Plan allows condominium development as a permitted use. The
proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map is an airspace subdivision of the one (1) lot into twenty -
eight (28) owners of the property. Residents will have exclusive rights to their personal units
and garage, and a percentage ownership in the common areas and project amenities.

A Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (DSEIR), has been prepared for this
project to provide a site specific analysis of environmental impacts. The DSEIR was distributed
to the Planning Commissioners on February 22, 1993. The Draft SEIR incorporates the
Smoky Hollow Master Environmental Impact Report, prepared for the Smoky Hollow Specific
Plan adopted in December 1985.
The Initial Study and DSEIR identified potential significant impacts to soils and geology, air
quality, noise, land use, risk of upset /human health, transportation /circulation, public services
and utilities, and aesthetics /shadow. The DSEIR concludes that all of these potential adverse
As this project is very similar to the recently approved Holly Park condominium project to the
north of the subject property, and because the DS EIR for this project has come to some
different conclusions than were made in the Holly Park DSEIR, it is important to discuss how
and why the differences arise. A statement of Overriding Consideration was adopted for the
Holly Park project based on the one direct project impact related to schools and significant
cumulative project impacts related to air quality, water, noise, traffic and circulation, public
services and utilities. Staff is suggesting that no Statement of Overriding Consideration is
necessary for this project because there are no significant project related impacts and, because
this project does not contribute to any significant cumulative project impacts
The most important difference between the analysis of the two DSEIRs is the conclusion of
this DSEIR that there will be no direct project impact on school facilities. That was the only
direct project impact identified in the Holly Park EIR. The El Segundo Unified School District
no longer considers Center Street Elementary School as operating at capacity due to the
relocation of Kindergarten students to the Middle School. The proposed projects addition of
3.1 additional elementary school children will now not directly impact Center Street
Elementary School.
The 1991 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) recognizes that all projects contribute to
cumulative impacts on air quality. The AQMP factors in growth projections in the region are
based on local general plans so any projects deemed consistent with a local general plan must
address cumulative air quality impacts through mitigation measures With the adoption of the
mitigation measures in the Mitigation Monitoring Report, the cumulative impacts on air quality
are not considered significant.
Water is not identified as a significant cumulative impact in the DSEIR based on the
availability of additional water for new development that has been indicated by the
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) and due to the rescindance of
WMD's mandatory water conservation program
The related projects used to evaluate the cumulative noise impacts of both Holly Park and this
project are primarily located east of Sepulveda Blvd. As a result, they will not cumulatively
interact with the proposed project in a significant way, even if the closest projects on that list,
Holly Park and the proposed LAX Athletic Club, were simultaneously under construction. The
DEIR also concluded that the noise generated from the cumulative growth of traffic on Grand
Avenue would increase ambient noise levels 3db, but will not contribute to a cumulative impact
which would exceed 65 CNEL. A noise study will be required prior to project completion to
verify that the City's noise standards are met. Based on this analysis cumulative noise impacts
for the proposed project are not considered significant.
The traffic engineer for the proposed project has determined that, based on ITE (Institute of
Transportation Engineers) traffic generation rates, there will be s net decrease in traffic
generation for both the AM and PM peak hours as compared to the previous industrial use
of the site. Based on this, there is little potential for cumulative interaction with other
projects The DEIR relied on the cumulative traffic analysis from the Holly Park DSEIR which
identified the intersection of Grand Avenue and Sepulveda Blvd. as being significantly impacted
by cumulative projects. The Level of Service (LOS) at the intersection of Grand Avenue and
Sepulveda Boulevard is projected to degrade from the existing "C" LOS to "E" LOS in 1993
with the cumulative impact of all proposed projects, including the subject project, within the
area. Level of Service "D" is generally considered to be acceptable, while "E' and "F" are
unacceptable. The imposition of a condition of approval which will require the payment of a
fair -share traffic impact fee, to be determined through a study to be undertaken by the
Department of Public works, will reduce the cumulative impact of this project to an
insignificant level.
Cumulative impacts to public services, including fire, police, parks and recreation, and libraries
were identified as significant in the Holly Park DSEHL The standard 1985 impact fees for
Police, Fire, and Library service will be applied to this project. These fees are designed to
offset the cost to the City of providing certain services to new development. This mitigation
measure is considered by the DSEIR. as sufficient to reduce the impact of cumulative projects
00928
0
to a level of insignificance. There were no comments received from these departments which
indicated any potential significant cumulative impacts would be caused by this project. As new
projects are proposed, they will be required to pay impact fees to mitigate project impact, just
as the subject project is required to do. Additionally, if the City adopts new ordinances which
increase the impact fees, then the subject project and future projects will be required to pay
these increased fees.
Significant cumulative impacts identified in the Holly Park DSEIR to utilities include sanitary
sewers, and solid waste. All of the related projects, which will cause cumulative impede to the
sewer system, are located east of Sepulveda Blvd. and are serviced by Los Angeles County
Sanitation District This district will have a significant adverse impact, but that impact is not
related to this project. All projects that are east of Sepulveda Boulevard which impact the
County Sanitation District will be required to pay their fair -share to mitigate their individual
impacts. The impact to Hyperion Treatment Plan which services areas west of Sepulveda
Boulevard, including the proposed project site, will not be significant. The City currently has
approximately an additional 25,000 gallons of excess sewer allotment with Hyperion. This
allotment may be used for future projects west of Sepulveda Boulevard, and 6,868 additional
gallons are allotted each day. The areas west of Sepulveda can be adequately serviced by the
existing Hyperion Treatment Plant. Therefore, the proposed project will not contribute to a
significant cumulative impact on the sanitary sewer system of which it is a part.
Solid waste cumulative project impacts were evaluated using differing methodologies in the two
DSEIR's under discussion. By outlining the projected landfill capacity of the county, the
conclusion was made that there will not be a significant cumulative impact from solid waste.
Additionally, AB 939 requires each city and county to divert 25% of their waste from landfills
by 1995, and 50% by the year 2000. Conformancy with this requirement will also reduce
potential cumulative project impacts.
CONCLUSION
The final EIR, which will go before the City Council for certification, will include a mitigation
monitoring program and will incorporate all comments and responses to those comments
received within the forty -five (45) day public review period. The final EIR shall also include
revisions to those areas affected by the revised site plan, such as shade and shadow. Staff does
not anticipate any significant project related or cumulative impala as a result of the
modification to the site plan.
In accordance with CEQA requirements, the State Clearinghouse forty -five (45) day public and
agency review, period ended on April 5, 1993. Therefore, the Planning Commission can take
action on this item tonight. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend
certification to the City Council of the Draft SEIR as an adequate and complete document
and approval of Smoky Hollow Site Plan 92 -1 and Subdivision 92 -3, with changes as noted in
the Inter - departmental comments section of this report.

density of 17.6 units per acre with 84 garage Puking spaces and 9 guest puling spaces on a 1.59
acre site at 1415 E. Grand Avenue in the Medium Manufacturing (M-M) zone.
2. The applicant is requesting implementation of the Medium Density Residential (MDR) Floating
Zone in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area, which implementation requires City Council
approval.
3. The site contains one 69,260 square foot triangular shaped lot. Them are presently two one story
industrial buildings on the site that would be demolished.
4. The site and surrounding area to the north, west, south and east a-e lzsignated by the Smoky

NOW THER OAB, BE IT RESOLVED That after consideration of the above facts and study of proposed
Environmental Assessment EA -285, Subdivision 92 -3, Vesting Tentative Map No. 51109, and Smoky Hollow
Site Plan 92.1, the City Council finds as follows:
i SUBDIVISION
1. The proposed subdivision to create condominium ownership, and the design of the proposed
townhouse -style multiple- family residences are consistent with the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan
through the activation of the Medium Density Residential (MDR) Floating Zone.
2. The site is physically suitable for residential townhouse development at the proposed density of
one unit per 2,474 square feet of site area (28 units or 17.6 units per acre).
3. The design of the subdivision improvements adequately provides for public services and is not
likely to cause any public health problems due to the mitigation measures provided for in the Draft
Environmental Impact Report.
SMOHY HOUR W SPECIFIC PLAN
1. The proposed project provides sufficient buffering and open space, and provides a transition
between the existing residential neighborhoods to the north and more intensive industrial uses
throughout the rest of Smoky Hollow;
2. The proposed project is developed at a density lower that R -3 standards;
3. The proposed project meets or exceeds all of the development standards required by the Smoky
Hollow Specific Plan.
GENERAL PLAN
1. The project is consistent with the General Plan land designation of Smoky Hollow Mixed Use which
allows a density of 18 units per acre (17.6 proposed)
2. The projects provide ample open space, leisure, and recreational facilities and while preserving and
maintaining the City's low - medium density residential nature in conformance with the General
Plan.
RNVMONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
1. The Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report is an adequate and complete document in
accordance with the State CEQA requirements and the local CEQA guidelines.
2. The mitigation monitoring program has been prepared in accordance with the State government
requirements contained in Section 21081 of the Public Resources Code.
3. The proposed project will not have a significant impact on soils and geology, air quality, noise,
land use, risk of upseVhuman health, tmnsportadon/dreuladon, public services and utilities, and
aesthedc/shadows. The final supplemental Environmental Impact Report concluded that there were
no negative impacts directly related to the project.
4. The Final supplemental Environmental Impact Report identified one significant cumulative impact
related directly to the project which is potentially adverse, but can be mitigated to an insignificant
level by conditions imposed upon the project in the area of ttaliidcirculadon, specifically the
intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and Grand Avenue.
S. The Draft SEIR did = identify project alternatives which would reduce environmental impacts,
and the proposed project was determined to be the environmentally superior alternative, including
the *no project" alternative, since it reduces grading, vehicular traffic, emissions, noise, light and
glare, shade/shadow, land use, and visuaVaesthetic impacts. The "no project" alternative would =
implement the goals, policies and objectives of the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan. The land use and
aesthetic objectives to replace industrial uses with new compatible residential uses which will
provide a buffer, transition and additional open space would not be met with the 'no project'
alternative. The two "development under the existing M -M zoning' alternatives would increase the
adverse impacts related to air quality, noise, land use, risk of upset/human health, traffic, and
aesthetics. The reduced density residential alternative would result in similar or fewer impacts
compared to the proposed project, but is not considered environmentally superior because there
are no significant impacts associated with the proposed project.

s : 6. That when considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project will haw the
a• .. potential for an adverse elfi:ct on wildlife resources or the habitat on whicfa the wildlife depends.
11 �f� 7. That the City Council thereby authorizes and directs the Director of Planning and Building Safety
' •: ` i to file with the appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and de minimus Ending
pursuant to AB 3158 and the California Code of Regulations. Within ten (10) days of this approval,
the applicant shall submit a fee of $25.00 required by the County of Los Angeles for the filing of
this certificate along with the required Notice of Determination. As approved for in AB 315$ 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..

SECTION 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is the one year extension of a previously approved Vesting Tentative Tract
Map and associated approvals for the construction of a 28 -unit townhouse -style condominium at
1415 E. Grand Avenue. The purpose of the extension is to allow additional time for the
development of the project. The project was originally approved by the City Council on May 4,1993.
No changes in the project are proposed. The approved project is composed of five separate
buildings. The 28 condominiums consist of two unit designs with 1844 -1851 square feet of living
area, a ground floor enclosed patio, three different balconies, plus a three (3) car garage. Each unit
consists of three (3) levels with a three car garage on the semi - subterranean bottom level, kitchen
and living areas on the second level, and bedrooms on the third level. Nine visitor parking spaces,
two trash enclosures, and an outdoor swimming pool with poolhouse are proposed on the lot.
The original application included a request to activate the "floating" Medium Density Residential
(MDR) Zone for the site (SHSP 92 -1). The project also included an application for condominium
ownership (Subdivision 92- Westing Tentative Tract Map 51109).
As part of the City's review of the request to activate the "floating" Medium Density Residential Zone,
a focused Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) was prepared to address land use,
transportation/circulation, utilities, noise, and air quality. The SEIR was certified by the City Council
on May 4, 1993.
SECTION 2.0 DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The approved project site is located on the northwest comer of Grand Avenue and Kansas Street
in the Medium - Manufacturing (MM) Zone in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area. The site currently
consists of one (1) lot which is 1.59 acres. The site is currently developed with two single story
industrial buildings. All of the existing buildings would be demolished. A strip at the top of the slope
along the north property line is an abandoned railroad right -of -way which is currently used for
parking /storage automobiles. The lot slopes gradually down from the south to the north with a steep
descending slope of eight (8) feet in average height right along the northern property line. The lot
also slopes from west to east with a twelve (12) foot decrease in elevation. The surrounding area
is developed with multiple - family residential units immediately to the west, and industrial buildings
to the north, east, and across Grand Avenue to the south. To the north of the site, across Holly
Avenue, is a single - family residential area and a parkette.
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.
SECTION 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
1. LAND USE PLANNING
The approved project would remove the current light industrial use and develop a medium density
residential use, and represents a major change in land use. The site is currently developed with two
Uo
industrial buildings which would be demolished and replaced with a 28 -unit condominium project.
Land uses to the west and north are condominium and industrial warehouse development,
respectively. To the east and south are light industrial and research and development uses. The
site is designated as Smoky Hollow Mixed -Use in the General Plan Land Use Element, and the site
is zoned Medium Manufacturing (MM) with a "floating" Medium Density Residential (MDR) Zone.
The project meets the current development standards for density. The Smoky Hollow Specific Plan
at the time of approval allowed 22 -units per acre for parcels of between one and three acres. The
General Plan and current Zoning code allows 18 -units per acre for the same size parcels. The
project proposed 17.6 -units per acre.
The approved vesting tentative tract map is consistent with the land use pattern of the adjacent
MDR property to the west and the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan. The approved use, however, may
not be consistent with the current light industrial uses to the south across Grand Avenue, to the east,
and the east across Kansas Street.
The proposed extension of the approved tentative tract map for the condominium development is
consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan to preserve and maintain the
City's low- medium density residential nature and promote construction of high quality multi - family
residential developments. It is consistent with the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan which provides the
Medium Density Residential Zone as a transition area from the single family residences to the north
and the industrial uses to the south. Additionally, it would permit an underdeveloped property
designated as residential to develop with a diversity of types, prices and tenure.
2. POPULATION AND HOUSING
The project will increase the density of housing in the Medium Density Residential (MDR) overlay
zone in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan area. This is the second project to utilize the overlay zone
and each of these projects are contiguous on land that was previously industrial. The proposed
project would remove two existing industrial buildings and supply twenty-eight (28) new
condominium units. There would be a net gain of 28 dwelling units. The project will assist in
meeting the existing demand for housing by adding 28 new units to the City's housing stock. The
units would be individually owned and most likely owner - occupied. No significant impacts to housing
demand are anticipated. The jobs- housing balance in the City will also be positively affected by the
project. No change in impact on population and housing is anticipated as part of the project
extension.
3. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS
No change in impact on geologic resources is anticipated as part of the project extension. The
geologic impacts were also addressed in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR)
for the approved project. While there will be grading associated with this project, there will be no
unstable earth conditions or changes in geological substructures. A retaining wall will be built along
the northern property line to support the 8 -foot descending slope. The issuance of a grading permit
as a condition of approval was included in the original project approvals to ensure slope stability.
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. The
project would be subject to the state Water Quality Control Board's National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System Permit for regulation of silt and discharge into surface waters during construction
and occupation. Project implementation will not result in geologic hazard, such as earthquakes,
beyond the potential already associated with the project site.
K
U0 .9 4'
The existing two industrial structures, driveways, and landscaping will be removed to accommodate
the approved condominium project. The amount of paving on the site will decrease slightly with the
new development as a large proportion of the lot is presently paved area. Excavation for the semi -
subterranean garage, as well as the proposed grading on the site, will disrupt the existing
topography. A grading plan will be required prior to issuance of a building permit to ensure
adequate soil compaction, dust control, structural support and protection of neighboring properties.
Along the northern border of the site is an earthen berm with a four to eighteen foot decrease in
height. The site will be graded up approximately half way leaving a five to twelve foot retaining wall
along the property line. There will be a difference in grade of up to fifteen feet between the majority
of this project and the property to the north at the bottom of the retaining wall. The impacts of the
difference in height of the structures for each project is discussed under Aesthetics. The
construction is typical of new residential development in urban areas, and the impact is not
anticipated to be significant. However, the proposed project may be affected by the release of
hazardous substances due to the industrial nature of previous uses on the site (see No. 9, Hazards).
4. WATER
No change in impact on water is anticipated as part of the project extension. The project site is
located in an urban setting 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.
Therefore, the project will not change the course, direction, current, or flow of any fresh or marine
waters or flood waters and will not involve the exposure of people or property to water - related
hazards. The amount of surface water in any body of water or the quality of surface water will not
change as a result of this project because of the urban setting and lack of direct interaction with any
bodies of water. The temporary surface grading will not intercept ground water; therefore, the
project will not alter the direction of or rate of flow of ground waters or change the quality of ground
waters through direct additions or withdrawals or through interception of an aquifer by cuts or
excavations. The amount of water use by the completed project will constitute an increase from the
current use of the property. The City of El Segundo Water Conservation Ordinance which regulates
water usage requires a submittal of a detailed conservation plan. The water conservation plan will
ensure that there is no significant impact to the supply of water otherwise available for public water
supplies. The construction of multiple family residential structures (28 dwelling units) and the
increase in paving for the associated driveways and walkways would increase the amount of
absorption and decrease the amount of surface water runoff, when compared to the current
industrial use as the lot is now covered with paving and buildings. The impact of the approved
project will be modified further by landscaped areas around the structures. In addition, the project
must meet city standards for on -site drainage, so the impacts to water runoff for the approved
project are not anticipated to be significant.
5. AIR QUALITY
No change in impact on air quality is anticipated as part of the project extension. The air quality
impacts were addressed in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) for the original
project. The approved 28 -unit condominium project would provide parking for 92 cars and may
cause an increase in air emissions over the existing use as the larger of the existing industrial
buildings is currently used for storing inoperative automobiles. During construction of the
condominiums, exhaust from the excavation, building and asphalt removal could also cause
objectionable odors. Construction equipment must be maintained so that it meets SCAQMD air
quality standards. Dust will be required to be controlled in accordance with demolition and grading
permits to be issued by the Department of Planning and Building Safety. Grading will be
3
00 0 4'
discontinued during first -stage smog alerts and suspended during period of high wind (i.e. over 15
miles per hour) in accordance with SCAOMD requirements. All hauling trucks shall have loads
covered or wetted and loaded below the sideboards to minimize dust. These are short term impacts
associated with all construction projects and they are not considered to be significant.
Once the project is completed, the activities associated with a multi - family residential use will not
alter air movement, moisture, or temperature; and will not result in any regional or local change in
climate.
6. TRANSPORTATION/CIRCULATION
No change in impact on transportation/circulation is anticipated as part of the project extension. A
Traffic Impact Study was prepared as part of the SEIR to fully study the transportation and
circulation impacts of the project. There may be a demand for new on- street parking from visitors
and additional cars of the residents, however, the project would provide three (3) spaces per unit,
although only two are required, and eight (8) visitor parking spaces. Condition No. 17 of City
Council Resolution No. 3811, which approved the original project, included a provision for the
payment of a transportation impact fee to partially offset the cost of citywide traffic improvements,
upon the approval of the traffic impact fee Ordinance. On May, 21, 1996, the City Council adopted
the traffic impact fee mitigation program (Resolution No. 3969) contemplated by Condition No. 17.
Therefore, the property will be subject to the traffic fees contain in the Resolution No. 3969.
The project would replace one driveway curb cut on Kansas Street with a smaller driveway, thereby
increasing on- street parking on Kansas Street. A new curb cut on Grand Avenue was approved for
Fire Department emergency access only. There may be an increase in vehicle trips from the
increased residential units as the site is primarily used for storage.
The approved project will not have any affect on existing transportation systems. The bus systems
will be able to absorb any additional ridership as a result of the project which will only added 28
housing units to the City. These is also no reason to believe that the project will impact waterboume,
rail, or air traffic other than possible supplying some ridership to the Metro Green Line.
7. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
No change in impact on biological resources is anticipated as part of the project extension. The
project site is currently developed and is located in an urbanized area of Los Angeles County.
There are no agricultural crops or rare or endangered species at the site. Project implementation
includes enhancement of the property with landscaping which will include plant species which are
typical to the area. Significant impacts on plant life are not anticipated.
There are no fish or wildlife habitats located on the project site; and no unique, rare or endangered
species exits on site. The project site and surrounding area is urbanized and is not used for the
migration or movement of wildlife. Enhancement of the site with landscaping will provide improved
habitat for small species of animals common to urbanized areas. Significant changes in the diversity
or numbers of species will not occur as a result of the project. Significant impacts with regard to
animal life are not anticipated.
8. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
No change in impact on energy and mineral resources is anticipated as part of the project extension.
The implementation of the project will not substantially increase the rate of use of any natural
4
resource because of the limited scale of the project. The construction or occupation of the 28 -unit
condominiums will not substantially deplete any non - renewable natural resource.
The project construction of 28 condominium units will not require substantial amounts of fuel or
energy for the construction. The completed project will require electricity but will not require
substantial amounts of electricity or new sources of electricity above what would be required to
operate other uses permitted at the project site.
9. HAZARDS
No change in impact on hazards is anticipated as part of the project extension. The approved
project may be affected by the release of hazardous substances due to the industrial nature of
previous uses on the site. The impacts on Human Health were addressed in the SEIR and found
to be insignificant. The large structure on the south side of the site currently houses a automobile
service company and a warehouse /office. It is not known what chemicals may have been used by
previous tenants, which included a manufacturer of greeting card display stands. The Draft SEIR
for the condominium complex to the west (EA -138, Grand Tropez) indicated possible soil
contamination along the abandoned railroad right -of -way that runs along the top of the berm at the
north end of the property. The soil was treated in the past with a chemical (possibly arsenic) to kill
weeds which resulted in no vegetation growing along the right -of -way. Two abandoned oil wells
were identified as well, one on the west side of the Grand Tropez site and one on the east side
virtually on the property line with the proposed project.
The approved project will add to the residential population of the city which may be affected by a
emergency response plan or evacuation plan, but the project will not hinder transportation during
an evacuation. Emergency access gates will be provided along Grand Avenue enable a quick
response to a potential emergency at the project location.
Due to the nature of the project, no hazardous materials will be used or stored on the property other
than small quantities of typical household chemicals. The previous use of the property includes
industrial uses which may have used chemicals on site that may have contaminated the soil at the
north end of the property. As part of the SEIR, sub - surface soil investigation was required to ensure
hazardous materials listed by the State of California Department of Health and the Environmental
Protection Agency, which would potentially impact human health, do not contaminate the property.
Any contamination will have to be remediated prior to construction of the project.
10. NOISE
No change in noise impacts are anticipated as part of the project extension. The noise impacts were
addressed in the SEIR and found to be insignificant. The project residents may be subjected to
noise from the light industrial uses to the east across Kansas Street, south across Grand Avenue,
and from the industrial use to the north across the earthen bem. The Noise Element of the General
Plan indicates the site is located between 60 dBA and 65 dBA CNEL (Community Noise Equivalent
Level) contours. This noise exposure is considered conditionally acceptable for residential use.
The State of California has established sound insulation standards for multiple - family residential
construction (CCR Title 24) that require protection from exterior noise sources so that the 24 -hour
average level does not exceed 45 dBA CNEL. Problems can be minimized to a non - significant level
by incorporating mitigation measures to require conformance with State standards with verification
by the City via certified acoustical analysis of the design plans prior to construction, and field
measurements in the dwelling units prior to occupancy.
5
A04
Noise levels will increase temporarily during demolition of the two existing structures and the
construction of the approved 28 condominium units. This will most directly impact the residents of
the 88 -unit condominiums to the west of the property. Construction hours will be limited to 7:00 A.M.
to 7:00 P.M. The noise associated with the construction of the project should not adversely impact
the industrial uses to the north, south and the east of the property because they tend to produce
noise of their own and will not tend to be disturbed by construction noise. Construction equipment
should be equipped with mufflers to help mitigate noise impacts.
11. PUBLIC SERVICES
No change in impact on public services is anticipated as part of the project extension. The increase
in population associated with the approved project has the potential to increase public services
demand which include police, fire, library services, and parks and recreation facilities. The overall
environmental impact will probably be minor, based on the small scope of the project. The project
will be assessed the standard one -time mitigation fee for fire, police, and library services. The direct
impacts of the project on the school system is likely to be significant as schools were identified as
being directly impacted in the EIR for the Holly Park Townhomes condominium project. The
cumulative impact of other projects which have impacted the level of services required of public
agencies were addressed in the SEIR and found to be insignificant.
12. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS
No change in impact on utilities and service systems is anticipated as part of the project extension.
The approved use could create a demand for more utility services which could impact the existing
power, natural gas, communications, water and sewer facilities, and solid waste and disposal. The
condominiums may tax the existing utility systems to a greater extent than the previous uses
because the condominiums will use all the utility systems 24 hours a day while the site currently
operates during the daytime only. The impacts on utilities were addressed in the SEIR and found
to be insignificant.
The approved 28 -units are subject to the City's Sewer Allocation Ordinance and would use some
of the 6,868 gallons per quarter allocated to the City of El Segundo (City of Los Angeles' Hyperion
treatment plan) during any three -month quarter and may displace other residential projects. The
allocation system is based on a first -come, first -served basis, however, any units that do not receive
an allocation need only wait until the next quarter.
The City's Sewer Master Plan indicates that the available capacity of existing systems varies
significantly from area to area: because of the localized variation in capacity, an analysis of sewer
system impact of the proposed project; including impacts elsewhere in the system was required. The
impacts were addressed in the SEIR.
The amount of solid waste produced by the approved project will be limited by the City's adopted
Integrated Waste Management Plan which proposed to divert 25% of its waste by 1995 and 50%
by the year 2000. Based on waste generation studies, this project will produce 896 pounds of waste
per week (32 pounds per unit per week). The implementation of the Source Reduction Recycling
Element (SRRE) and the Household Hazardous Waste Element (HHWE) will help to mitigate the
impacts of solid waste and disposal. The impacts of solid waste were also addressed in the SEIR.

13. AESTHETICS
No change in impact on aesthetics is anticipated as part of the project extension. The approved
project, five two -story structures over a semi- subterranean garage level, will alter the present
viewing patterns for the existing industrial buildings, the approved two -story condominiums to the
north, and the one and two -story single - family residential structures farther north across Holly
Avenue. The adjacent three -story condominium structures to the west (Grand Tropez) will also be
affected. The SEIR included a study to compare the height of the approved project to the
surrounding properties. The project has been designed to lower the retaining wall facing the
adjacent property to the north to help mitigate shadow problems. The retaining wall will still measure
over six feet in height. None the less, the finished grade at the garage level of the units facing the
property to the north will be about 15 feet higher than the finished grade of the abutting property.
There may be an increase in nighttime light and glare from the new three -story residential structures
as seen from the existing multiple - family residential structures on the west side of the property and
property on the north side of the subject property. However, it is not anticipated to be significant as
most lighting would be interior and exterior lighting fixtures are required to be shielded and oriented
downwards to minimize spill -over light to adjacent properties. An exterior lighting plan is required
to be reviewed and approved by the City to ensure there will be no light or glare impacts on
surrounding properties.
14. CULTURAL RESOURCES
No change in impact on cultural resources is anticipated as part of the project extension. The project
will have no impact on any cultural, archeological, or religiously significant site. As part of another
recent project (EA -266, nitrogen pipeline), an archeological records survey was conducted which
indicated there is no evidence of any culturally significant sites within two miles of this project's
location. Additionally, the subject property is a completely developed site, previously graded and
disturbed so there is little chance of any cultural resources being found on -site. Should any
previously un- recorded cultural resources be encountered during the construction of the fill, all work
will be stopped and a qualified archeologist will be consulted to determine the potential significance
of the find.
15. RECREATION
No change in impact on recreation is anticipated as part of the project extension. The new residents
of the approved project may cause an incremental demand for the use of the City's recreation
facilities, however, all residents are subject to the associated user fees required on some of the
facilities. There may be cumulative impact of this and other projects on recreation facilities. The
impacts were addressed in the SEIR and found to be insignificant.
16. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The proposed project is a low intensity use of a industrial 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.

additional sheets if necessar))
The proposed project is a request for a one (1) year extension to a previously approved Vesting Tentative
Tract Map and associated approvals for a 28 -unit condominium project to be constructed at 1415 East
Grand Avenue. The purpose of the extension is to allow additional time for the development of the project.
The project was originally approved by the City Council on May 4, 1993. No changes in the project are
proposed. The original Vesting Tentative Tract Map and associated approvals required approval of an
Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 92121062), which was certified by the City Council
on May 4, 1993.
9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: (Briefly describe the project's surroundings)
The surrounding property consists of light industrial uses in an urban setting to the north, south, and east.

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.
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.

From: John W. Hilton, General Services Manager
Subject: Main Street Trash Cans
At the Council meeting held June 2, 1998, the Council requested an estimate for the cost
to replace the existing trash cans on Main Street, and for placing additional cans where
needed. This would eliminate any damaged or unattractive cans and provide one
standardized type of can. The replaced cans would be evaluated and any cans which are
still useable could be utilized in other locations throughout the City.
The cost estimate of $14,000 (see attached memo dated 06/09/98) was based on
replacing all 25 of the current 20 gallon cans on Main Street with 25 larger 42 gallon cans
(with removable 31 gallon interior can), plus 5 additional 42 gallon (31 gallon interior)
cans, at locations where these cans may be needed. Broken down, the estimated cost for
purchasing 30 cans is $12,000.00, and $1,800.00 per year for Zakaroff to empty the
additional cans. This estimate is based on replacing the cans with a similar type of can
which includes an exposed aggregate concrete outer container (42 gallon), and a
removable 31 gallon inner can. This would increase the capacity of the cans by 55 %. If
the larger 42 gallon (31 gallon interior) can is selected, the 5 additional cans may not be
required. If this option is preferred, the City may purchase 25 cans, then staff can monitor
the location where additional capacity is required. If additional cans are needed, they can
be purchased at a later date. Attached is a catalog and price sheet from Wausau Tile
which shows cans similar to the ones currently on Main Street. The cost estimate is based
on Model 1170 on page 14 of the catalog.
Based on the concerns raised at the Council meeting held on July 7, 1998 concerning the
Main Street trash can replacement, the following are suggested options:
Estimated Cost
tion 1: Purchase 30 new 42 gallon (31 gallon interior) cans
and relocate the old, still usable cans to other locations
throughout the City. $12,000
Additional service from Zakaroff Recycling Services. 1,800

Option 2: Purchase 25 new cans and relocate the old cans which are
still reusable to other locations throughout the City. 10,000
Additional service from Zakaroff Recycling Services. This
cost will vary depending on the number of additional cans. 1,500
Option 3: Purchase only 5 new 42 gallon (31 gallon interior) cans and
place them where needed. $ 2,000
Additional service from Zakaroff Recycling Services. 300
Option 4: Replace only 7 of the 20 gallon cans which are damaged or
significantly different from the majority, with 7 new 42
gallon (31 gallon interior) cans. 2,800
Option 5: Replace 7 of the damaged 20 gallon cans, and purchase 5 of
the 42 gallon (31 gallon interior) cans to be placed at
locations where needed. 4,800
Additional service form Zakaroff Recycling Services. 300
Please let me know which option should be implemented. If additional information is
required, please contact me at extension 295.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request for approval to submit an application for a Bureau of Justice Assistance Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
requesting $18,640 in grant funding with a $1,864 cash match from Asset Forfeiture funds.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve request.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On June 29, 1998, the Police Department received an application outlining eligibility and program requirements for
obtaining grant funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance. The deadline to submit the application is July 31, 1998.
The Police Department is proposing to submit a grant application to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Assistance requesting
$18,640 for the acquisition of geo- mapping and crime analysis custom software programs. The grant funding program
requires a minimum 10% match ($1,864) to be made by the City with Asset Forfeiture funds, Professional and
Technical Services account.
In addition to the 10% match, a public hearing identified as an agenda item and held during a regularly scheduled city
council meeting, is required. Also, an advisory board consisting of representatives from units of local government
(e.g., law enforcement, court system, public school system, etc.) will be established and convene once to review the
arant application and to offer non - binding recommendations.
DISCUSSION:
The geo- mapping and crime analysis programs will improve and expand the Department's ability to determine the most
effective and efficient deployment for police services; provide statistical information for business and economic
development; and provide information to the public via future automated systems, e.g., city web -site.

INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
July 10, 1998
To: Tim Grimmond, Acting City Manager
From: Jack Wayt, Acting Chief of Police
Subject: Request to submit application for Jnt funding with matching funds
requirement
On June 29, 1998, the El Segundo Police Department received an application kit for a Bureau
of Justice Assistance Local Law Enforcement Block Grant program. The deadline to submit the
application is July 31, 1998.
The department is very interested in seeking this funding in order to acquire a geo- mapping and
crime analysis program that will improve and expand our ability to determine the most effective
and efficient deployment of police services. It will readily produce statistical data for business
and economic development purposes in addition to providing the general public with
information via the City's planned website. The maximum amount of funding the department
is eligible for is $18,640. A minimum 10% match ($1,864) is required under the federally
funded program.
The maximum amount of funding available through the BJA Block Grant program, and the 10%
match, will be sufficient to purchase the custom software programs much needed by police
personnel.
I recommend that we seek approval from the City Council, apply for the BJA Grant and
propose to use Asset Forfeiture funds to fulfill the 10% match requirement.
