INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: On January 3, 1998, a Joint City Council/Planning Commission bus tour /workshop was conducted to view examples of the issues which have given rise to the proposed revisions to the Zoning Code. Then on January 6, 1998, the City Council held a special joint public workshop /hearing to discuss the proposed third quarter General Plan and Zone Text Amendments. (Continued on Page 2.)

These issues have, as yet, not been resolved. The Sign Code cannot be adopted without provisions for abandoned signs, as State law requires an inventory and abatement of illegal and abandoned signs within a certain time frame after the adoption of new sign provisions. Staff recommends that the third quarter amendments be approved without the Sign Code revisions, and that the consideration of signs be continued to April 21, 1998. Additionally, Council requested that Planning staff work with the business community and residents impacted by the Amplified Sound Permit regulations and develop consensus on a proposal to revise the regulations. Staff and the Council envisioned possibly a tiered process with time and decibel limits, with flexibility to exceed the standards a certain limited number of times per year. At the February 17, 1998, Council meeting, Council accepted staffs recommendation that the amplified sound permit regulations be pulled from the third quarter packet in order to avoid delaying the completion of the rest of the amendments. Therefore, staff now presents the draft Ordinance for the third quarter amendments for introduction and first reading with all of the revisions directed by City Council, except for Signs and Amplified Sound Permits. These items require further review and will be continued to the April 21, 1998 meeting of the City Council. p:\zoning\ea419\ea419-8.ais G 0 ; ORDINANCE NO.

Kopp (I -San Mateo /San Francisco) introduced legislation today to restrict airport noise by increasing the power of communities in addressing airport noise in their neighborhoods. The legislation allows communities the opportunity to initiate public hearings on airport noise and instigate formal investigations into noise standard violations.

Currently, adversely affected communities are informed of such change after they've been effectuated or not at all.

The ambiance of affected neighborhoods, however, has been increasingly exploited by money making airports which cater to profit -driven airlines without any conceal for affected communities. Kopp stated, "it is high time those affected are able to demand the opportunity for public discourse on the subject." Kopp's legislation will allow communities to request hearings on such critical issues as increases in late night or early morning flights. "Communities in and around San Francisco International Airport are currently represented by the Airport/Community Roundtable on such issues, but the Roundtable has been obviously ineffective at best and subversive at worst," Kopp stated. The legislation further provides for, at the request of a city or county, the initiation of an investigation into any airport noise violations. "In over 20 years, not one investigation has ever been launched at any airport in California," Kopp exclaimed.

Price — Almost a year after the Federal Aviation Administration announced it would start an ambitious outreach effort to involve local communities in all phases of a suggested wholesale redesign of airspace in the Washington - Baltimore region, the agency has now announced it will go ahead with a major element of the redesign despite the fact that no significant consultation with the public has yet occurred. The proposed undertaking is called the Potomac Project. It was unveiled by FAA in early 1997 amid promises that citizens and local officials would be consulted from "the earliest possible stages of the project." Yet on Jan. 6, FAA said it had i unilaterally decided to consolidate regional air traffic control at a single facility to be built in Virginia or Maryland. The news, according to Betty Ann Krahnke, chair of the panel of local govern- ment officials concerned with aircraft noise in the Washina.ton area, "sent shock waves throughout the region." In view of the FAA decision, made without input from local officials, she branded the project "a major threat." Krahnke heads the Committee on Noise Abatement at National and Dulles Airports (CONANDA), an (Continued on P. 2) Newark Int'1 FAA SUSPENDS FLIGHT PATH TEST; " HANDS OVER ARTS DATA TO NJCAAN By Charles F. Price — The Federal Aviation Administration, in a conciliatory move that may finally help ease the decade -long controversy with noise - impacted communities in New York and New Jersey, has suspended a proposed six -month experiment that would have rerouted a quarter of the departures from Newark International Airport over new areas. The decision came under pressure from area politicians in league with anti-noise groups. In making the announcement FAA conceded that until recently noise concerns had not figured as prominently in its decision - making as certain operational factors. The agency- also said it would begin a major review of air routes for the three airports serving the New York City area — Newark International, JFK Interna- tional, and LaGuardia — early this year, this time in consultation with the public. Its purpose is to identify air routes that would have less intrusive noise impacts on communities while also serving the needs of air safety, efficiency, and security. FAA said its decision to conduct a review of regional air routes played no part in its decision to postpone the test of the change in departure procedure at Newark.

He will use the data with new, more sophisti- cated software to re- evaluate a scheme he proposed earlier to route departures from Newark International over the Atlantic Ocean to gain altitude before turning them back over communities. "The technical data can serve as a starting point for citizens groups to propose alternative air routes that could provide relief from airplane noise for residents of New Jersey and Staten Island[NY]," Rep. Bob Franks, (R -NJ), whose district includes communities impacted by aircraft Noise noise, said Jan. 15 as he made good on his promise to 1 provide NJCAAN with the flight path data. "For the first time, a citizens group has access to the FAA's technical data," Franks said. "This information will enable them to accurately assess the impact of any changes in airplane routes on noise levels in communities." Franks turned over the NJCAAN ARTS data on flights departing Newark International between Dec. 15 and Dec. 30, 1997. "The FAA's willingness to turn over this data to citizens groups marks an important turning point in the history of the airplane -noise issues," Franks said. "It's a positive sign and hopefully signals a new spirit of coopera- tion between the federal agency responsible for airplane routes and the citizens who must live with the consequences of changes in flight patterns." Departure Change Postponed The Newark experiment, which was scheduled to start early in January, would have rerouted 25 percent of the daily flights leaving Newark in an effort to ease noise impacts on primarily residential areas in central New Jersey. Anti-noise advocates from NJCAAN had argued the change would merely shift noise from one group of communities to the other, although FAA officials maintained the areas under the new flight paths were primarily industrial. In announcing the suspension, Frank Hatfield, manager of airspace for FAA's New York region, told The New York Times the agency had withdrawn the plan in order for community groups to evaluate it further. Michael Schatzki, director of the New Jersey Citizens for Environmental Research, a group affiliated with NJCAAN, welcomed the suspension. "We consider it a positive development that they have postponed this experiment," he said in a Times interview, "and hope it is a sign that they will change the way they plan" Schatzki said the change would have amounted to `tinkering that moves the noise from one set of New Jersey towns to another set of New Jersey towns. We are looking for some real relief from the noise and want to stop playing this game of moving the noise around." The FAA's decision to postpone the trial of the change in departure procedure came Dec. 31, 1997, after a two -day meeting with citizens' groups sponsored by New Jersey politicians Sen. Robert G. Torricelli (D -NJ), Reps. Robert D. Franks (R -NJ), and Rodney P. Frelinghuysen, (R -NJ) and Gov. Christine Whitman. Torricelli's concerns seemed to have been particularly persuasive. NJCAAN gave the senator much of the credit for convincing FAA to postpone. And FAA spokesman Jim Peters told the Newark Star - Ledger the agency "decided not to start the procedures until everything is resolved. Very specifically, the senator wanted more information about the noise impact. So we will be working with the Port Authority [of New York and New Jersey] on that end. We'll do what it takes to satisfy the senator's requests." In a prepared statement, Torricelli himself expressed pleasure at the decision to postpone. "The FAA recognized Airport Noise Repoli 0040 ' January 23,1998 5 that there are serious issues surrounding this plan that demand further examination and discussion. It is apparent that the FAA is responsive to community needs and has the best interest of New Jersey residents living near airports in mind." ARTS Data Released Glenn Bales of Geospec, Inc., based in Fountain, CO, serves as NJCAAN's consultant. He told ANR he will use the ARTS data provided by the FAA in conjunction with new software to determine the impact of the proposed departure path change the FAA wants to impose at Newark International, to detemine the change in noise impact that would occur if aircraft were to cut back power on takeoff from the airport, and to reexamine NJCAAN's ocean routing proposal. Bales acknowledged that it is unlikely the FAA would allow power cutbacks on departure from Newark, especially in light of an updated agency advisory circular which bars unique departure procedures for noise abatement purposes, but said the modeling will show "what could be." What will be done is a different matter, he said. Ironically, Bales is a former FAA official who served as FAA's regional airspace manager before Hatfield filled that job. He and Hatfield both now concede that safety and other operational concerns, not noise, were the primary criteria used in picking the air routes used in the FAA's Expanded East Coast Plan, implemented in 1987, which imposed aircraft noise on areas of New York and New Jersey previously free of it. That decision was taken with no public consultation. Four years ago Bales, retained by NJCAAN, proposed a plan that would reroute flights over the Atlantic Ocean on departure from Newark to gain altitude before turning back over land as a way to reduce their noise impact on commu- nities. FAA turned thumbs down on the notion citing safety concerns and contending the plan would be too costly due to changes it would cause in the air routes of other airports. Bales complained that the plan was never correctly evalu- ated and Port Authority officials have since admitted mistakes were made in the modeling they used to evaluate it. Then Gov. Whitman breathed new life into the idea recently when she asked engineers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to study the ocean routing plan. Now, with state officials weighing in on the side of noise - impacted citizens, FAA appears more amenable to at least considering the ocean- routing approach. The FAA's Peters said the plan will be reconsidered by the agency early in 1998. Bales said he thinks it is significant that FAA released the ARTS data to NJCAAN. Such data has been released at other airports in the course of litigation and under intense political pressure, he said, but noted that the FAA makes it difficult to obtain the data. The airlines were very concerned that ARTS data would be used against them in court, so FAA restricted access to it, he explained. New Software At the two -day meeting resulting in FAA's announcement of the Newark rerouting, Bales demonstrated cutting -edge software which, when combined with FAA's Automated Radar Terminal System (ARTS) data, could refine the NJIT analysis of the ocean- routing scheme. The software was developed by Le Tech Inc., of Alexandria, VA. NJCAAN Executive Director Pamela Barsam -Brown said the new technology "will now allow route designs to be judged on merit. It will minimize, if not eliminate, the fa!se and misleading information which has fueled meritless controversies in the past." The software uses the ARTS data to superimpose air routes on actual geographic and man -made features like highways, roads, and houses. It "makes it possible to show the geographic location of aircraft and noise impacts caused by each flight path on specific homes, hospitals, schools, police stations, and communities," said Barsam- Brown. "The technology will display the flight paths that can offer the most effective noise abatement procedure for a given region "D _ ollw Los Angeles Intl L.A. DROPS TWO CON FOR LAX EXPANSION Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) officials announced Jan. 13 that they have eliminated two of four concepts proposed earlier for expansion of Los Angeles International Airport: the use of Hawthorne Airport for commuter operations and one of two six - runway concepts calling for the development of a new commuter runway in the north- west portion of the airfield. During a meeting of the Board of Airport Commissioners, Commission President Daniel P. Garcia said, "Our decision indicates that the future design of LAX [Los Angeles International Airport] will take a compact, efficient form — capable of handling an increased number of flights with a minimal increase in land -use size. Garcia added: "For LAX to continue to serve as the nation's gateway to Asia - Pacific and Southern California's economic engine, our challenge is to create an airport compatible with surrounding residential and commercial land uses. We believe the two remaining LAX Master Plan concepts still under study will help Los Angeles meet this challenge. The LAX Master Plan will envision an airport that is safer, quieter, more convenient to reach by local transportation, and more cost - effective than today's LAX." LAWA Executive Director John J. Driscoll said that operational analyses by, the Master Plan team and comments from the public during workshops and environmental impact scoping meetings during the past year led to today's decision. He said that the airlines opposed the use of Airport Noise Report u 6 Airport Noise Report Hawthorne Airport for commuter operations because it would add an additional 35 minutes travel time to have passengers transfer there from LAX. The other eliminated concept was one of two proposals calling for two new runways to be added to the existing four. Another concept calling for two new runways was preferable because it was easier from an operational point of view, Driscoll said. The two remaining concepts have several features in common: • Construction of one of two additional runways, which will allow airport operators greater flexibility in scheduling aircraft arrivals and departures for maximum safety, efficiency, and noise reduction; • An automated people -mover system between gates and connecting with parking lots and local transportation services; • Expanded cargo capacity; • A new terminal facility with parallel concourses located to the west of the existing terminals; • A new western entrance to the airport terminal area for passenger convenience and to improve traffic flow; and • A "ring toad" surrounding the airport, linked to the regional transportation network, intended to keep traffic off local and residential streets and better manage traffic flow in and out of LAX. The LAX Master Plan will be presented to the Los Angeles City Council and the Federal Aviation Administra- tion for approval later this year. Within the next several months, the LAX Master Plan team will issue a draft environmental impact document that will assess all the impacts associated with a preferred concept, an alternative concept, and a "no- project" alternative. Ceiling Sought for LAX Operations t a Dec. 12, 1997, Town Hall Meeting on the LAX Master Plan, Los Angeles Councilwoman and other local elected officials from the area s ing AX urged FAA Administrator Jane Garvey to identify the maximum capacity of LAX and other southern California airports, according to a summary of the meeting. There needs to be one representative agency that is responsible for integrating Southern California regional transportation, Galanter said. Sandra Jacobs, mayor of El Segundo, CA, said that in the past, ceilings on airport capacity, as described in environ- mental documents have been ignored as they have been exceeded. Operations at LAX currently exceed by approxi- mately 30 percent the 40 million annual passenger (MAP) limits of the last comprehensive state and federal environ- mental impact reports, she said. She urged the FAA to impose an operational ceiling at LAX that is enforceable. LAWA's Driscoll told the local officials that there is a limit to growth at LAX but said that limit is currently unknown. But he did acknowledge that LAX cannot handle all of the predicted growth in aircraft operations for the Los Angeles area. Other regional airports will take some of the load off of LAX he said. LAWA is spending $13 million at Palmdale Airport to build a cargo apron and upgrade the runways to handle Boeing 747 aircraft. Ontario International Airport will triple in capacity, he said. Two new terminals are being build there now and a third runway will be added. FAA's Garvey said she will examine the possibility of establishing a balanced group to study regional aviation issues so as to develop informed consensus.A AIR FORCE DECIDE T O SUPPLEMENTAL EIS By les F. Price — The U.S. Air Force and the Federal Aviatio dministration have decided to prepare a supple- mental a nmental impact statement (SEIS) on the proposed er to Dade County, FL, of airfield facilities at what was Homestead Air Force Base for use as a civil airport. By agreeing t dertake a new environmental review, FAA and the Air a are responding to concerns by some local officials and ronmental groups that current plans for the projected ci rport involve a greater number of operations than were mplated in an original 1994 EIS and thus will create a r array of noise and other impacts. As stated in an rce news release, "the review [to determine whether to SEIS] was begun in response to questions raised about th tinuing adequacy of the 1994 EIS in light of changin s for the airport." The purpose of the review, a ding to the statement, was to determine whether the p us EIS "adequately addressed the issues currently ass ted with the proposed transfer and development of facili or a one - runway civil airport." Among these issues are projected i es of more than 50 percent in the estimated numbers o mercial and cargo operations; changes in anticipat elopment of the airport itself, such as plans for devoting acreage to commercial use; projected increases in ai employment; additional information about specific facili roposed for the airport, including an aircraft strip and p cility; projected traffic increases to and from the ai and projected decreases in numbers of military ope ns. The Air Force conceded it had hoped the EIS ld prove adequate so that transfer of airport facilities to D County could proceed without delay. But it hired a contra with experience in base closure environmental analysis sist with the review of the earlier work and the contract draft report led to a decision to perform the SEIS. The Air e and FAA concluded that "the potential environmental ues need to be addressed further, including potential mitig n measures, and that the best course of action is to proc immediately with preparation of an SEIS." Specifically, FAA noted that the projected new comm cial operations might increase noise in Biscayne Nationa Airport Noise Report 00,142 m M 2 u ¢ < z J I < O n CL a LL O W 1- a I 0 aD m \ n N N 0 W I.- O 1-;0 o M'CD M to 10 V .o ,Y1 0 .Olh O mNl v1mr- .rMol.poNI'f o'e MI I��Y1 N to1�o YI Yllh N mom m 41LA o aD; p. to 'a 0 O 0101- M' �D G O` ao0 •• O I =mIM N ODIN M ml- O MGM M ^< o!

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Reject all bids received on February 17, 1998. 2. Authorize staff to readvertise the project for receipt of construction bids. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: The City Council on December 16, 1997, adopted the Master Plan for the roller hockey rink and authorized staff to advertise Phase I of the project for receipt of construction bids. Phase I consisted of construction of a concrete hockey rink slab and included demolition of the existing two (2) volleyball courts, grading and relocation of the existing park landscaping to construct the rink slab.

Pursuant to discussions with the project architect, the Direction of Recreation and Parks and the In -line Hockey Association, staff recommends rejection of all bids received and readvertising the project. Both the two (2) responsive bids are considerably higher than the architect's estimate and there is a large difference in the two (2) bid amounts. Staff believes that by readvertising the project more favorable bids may be received. Staff is recommending that the City Council reject all bids and authorize staff to readvertise the project. The funds remaining in the project budget are $67,500.00. It appears now that Phase I cannot be constructed within this budget, however may be constructed within the estimated amount of $83,000.00 if favorable bids are received. Staff recommends advertising the project for Phase I and after bid opening, staff will report the bid results with a recommendation to the City Council for the scope of work to be awarded for construction.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Adopt master plan for the roller hockey rink. 2. Authorize staff to advertise Phase I of the plan for receipt of construction bids. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: The adopted 1996-97 Capital Improvement Program includes $75,000.00 for construction of a roller hockey rink in Recreation Park. On January 7, 1997, the City Council authorized staff to retain Purkiss -Rose Architects at a cost of 7,500.00 to develop a master plan for the hockey rink. Pursuant to discussions with the El Segundo In -Line Hockey Association and the City Recreation and Parks Department the architect has developed a master plan for the facility. The master plan has been reviewed and approved by the City Recreation and Parks Commission. DISCUSSION: For construction bidding purposes, the master plan has been divided into the following two (2) phases based on cost estimates provided by the architect. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Reduced master plan drawing.

It is our understanding that these cages will be relocated by the In -Line Hockey Association). Note: The funds remaining in the project budget are $67,500.00. It may be possible that Phase I can be constructed within this amount if favorable bids are received. Staff recommends advertising the project for Phase I and after bid opening, staff will report the bid results with a recommendation to the City Council for the scope of work to be awarded for construction. Phase II (for future implementation predicated upon availability of funds) 1.

The In -Line Hockey Association has indicated that the existing volleyball court lighting is adequate for night use of the rink. Any necessary adjustments to the existing lighting will be provided by the Recreation and Parks Department.

Proposed Merger RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Approve the merger, subject to reimbursement of City's expenses in reviewing the proposed merger. DISCUSSION: In its consideration of consent to the merger, several aspects of the City's solid waste agreements with Zakaroff Services Inc. ( "Zakaroff') should be noted. Section 23.A of the Residential Solid Waste Agreement clearly requires the consent of the City to any merger involving Zakaroff. Similarly, Section 18.A of the Solid Waste Agreement for City facilities requires city consent. Respecting the granting of the City's consent, while such is not to be unreasonably withheld under either Agreement, each of the Agreements provides that the City may impose reasonable conditions to its approval. Additionally, Section 24 of the Residential Agreement provides for the payment of a transfer fee to the City. The transfer fee is to be set by resolution of the City Council. The fee is to cover the City's administrative expenses incurred in reviewing the transfer application; other costs are recoverable, including fees of attorneys and consultants utilized in analyzing the transfer application. While the City Facilities Agreement does not specifically call for a transfer fee, this would be a reasonable condition of City approval. Further, Mark D. Bozajian, President of Zakaroff, has stated the intention that the City's costs and expenses be fully reimbursed. The City Attorney's office has received and reviewed a variety of materials concerning the referenced merger between Zakaroff and RII. These materials have included: (a) 1996 Annual Report to shareholders. (RII's fiscal year ends December 31; hence, 1997 reports are not yet available.) (b) 1996 Annual Report on Form 10 -K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (c) Quarterly reports on Form 10 -Q for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (d) Current Report on Form 8 -K, dated November 20, 1997. As disclosed by the foregoing materials, the merger is such that ZSI will be merged with and into a subsidiary of RII, with ZSI being the surviving corporation. Shareholders of ZSI will receive shares of RII in exchange for each of their shares. As a result of the transaction, ZSI will become a wholly -owned subsidiary of RII. (As a part of the merger transaction, two other related companies, Wilshire Disposal Services and Specialized Waste, Inc., will also be acquired as wholly -owned subsidiaries of RII. However, ZSI is the main acquisition target and accounts for approximately 80% of the merger consideration.) 1 00071 The materials provided have not revealed any matters of record which are of concern with respect to the soundness or viability of the merged company. It would appear that the financial condition of each company is improved as a result of the merger. Detailed information concerning pending litigation and proceedings and matters involving environmental issues was also received and reviewed. Again, this information does not reveal any matters which are of particular concern with respect to the merged company.

TAORMINA Regional Vice President Western Region (USA) RECEIVED FEB 12 1998 CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE At the request of Mark D. Bozajian, President of Zakaroff Services ( "Zakaroff'), I am writing this letter to allay any concerns the City may have regarding the pending merger between Republic Industries, Inc. ( "RII") and Zakaroff. I am the Regional Vice President for RII for the Western United States. As such, after the merger, Zakaroff will continue to operate within the region I oversee. I can assure you and the City of El Segundo that the most important aspect of our merger with Zakaroff is that the excellent service you have grown accustomed to continues, "as is ", with no modifications. This holds true from the drivers all the way up to the top management of Zakaroff. Mark Bozajian will continue to run Zakaroff in his capacity of President. I have full confidence in his abilities to make all management decisions regarding the Zakaroff operation. Mark's professional reputation and track record in our industry was a key element in RII's desire to merge with Zakaroff. The only difference will be that Mark and Zakaroff will have the availability of certain financial, operational and technical resources it may not have had in the past. These points were raised by Mark in his February 6, 1998 letter to the City which I endorsed wholeheartedly. This merger can only be a positive for the City of El Segundo, and it is for this reason I believe Zakaroff chose RII as its partner. Lastly, it should be emphasized that at this time Zakaroff will continue to operate as a separate corporation under the RII umbrella, therefore, there will be no name change nor any change to the structure of the El Segundo program. I hope this letter provides the additional assurances you are seeking regarding your service relationship with Zakaroff and the post- merger operating structure. Please contact me if you should have any additional questions or if I can be of any further assistance. Sincerely, Vincent C. Taormina Republic Industries, Inc. • P0. Box 309, 1131 N.

Merger Dear Mr. Morrison: In connection with the above - referenced merger, Rufus Young and I have received and reviewed a variety of materials concerning Republic Industries, Inc. ( "RII "). These materials have included the following, copies of which are enclosed: (a) 1996 Annual Report to shareholders. (RII's fiscal year ends December 31; hence, 1997 reports are not yet available.) (b) 1996 Annual Report on Form 10 -K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (c) Quarterly reports on Form 10 -Q for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (d) Current Report on Form 8 -K, dated November 20, 1997. (e) Agreement of Merger. (Due to the non - public nature of this Agreement, it was reviewed at our offices, but copies were not kept.) (f) Letters of February 12 and February 16, 1998, from Mark Bozajian to Rufus Young. As disclosed by the foregoing materials, the merger is such that Zakaroff Services, Inc. ( "ZSI ") will be merged with and into a subsidiary of RII, with ZSI being the surviving corporation. Shareholders of ZSI will receive shares of RII in exchange for each of their shares. LAX2:200383.1 00074 James Morrison, City Manager February 19, 1998 Page 2 As a result of the transaction, ZSI will become a wholly -owned subsidiary of RII. (As a part of the merger transaction, two other related companies, Wilshire Disposal Services and Specialized Waste, Inc., will also be acquired as wholly -owned subsidiaries of RII. However, ZSI is the main acquisition target and accounts for approximately 80% of the merger consideration.) Our review of the materials provided has not revealed any matters which we would consider to be of concern with respect to the soundness or viability of RII or the merged company. RII is a diversified holding company engaged primarily in the businesses of auto retailing, auto rental and waste disposal services. RII's electronic security division was sold in October 1997. After restating its financial statements to account for this as discontinued operations, revenues of $10.3 billion were reported for the year ended December 31, 1997. This was up from reported revenues of $6.1 billion in 1996. It would appear that the financial condition of each company is not impaired as a result of the merger. We assume that the Finance Department of the City is in a position to provide additional information and analysis in this regard. We also received and reviewed information concerning pending litigation and proceedings and matters involving environmental issues. Again, this information does not reveal any matters which we would consider to be of particular concern with respect to RII or the merged company. We have met with Mark Bozajian, President of ZSI. He has been both cooperative and timely in providing requested information. Pursuant to an employment agreement (reviewed as part of the Merger Agreement), he will continue as President of ZSI following the merger. He has represented to us that management and service personnel will remain essentially unchanged following the merger. This has also been confirmed by Vincent Taormina in his February 10 letter to you. Respecting the granting of the City's consent, each of the City's agreements with ZSI (residential and City facilities) specifies that such is not to be unreasonably withheld. However, under each agreement, the City may impose reasonable conditions to its approval. The residential agreement further specifies that a transfer fee is to be paid. The transfer fee is to be set by resolution of the City Council. The fee is to cover the City's administrative expenses incurred in reviewing the transfer application, and other costs are recoverable, including fees of attorneys and consultants utilized in analyzing the transfer application. While the City facilities agreement does not specifically require a fee, such would be a reasonable condition of LAX2:200383.1 o v7 5 James Morrison, City Manager February 19, 1998 Page 3 approval. Mr. Bozajian orally confirmed ZSI's intent to fully reimburse the City for its expenses in this regard. We note further that we represent another city with a Zakaroff franchise and will divide our time spent on common matters between the two cities. We will be happy to discuss this matter with you. In this regard, please contact the undersigned or Rufus Young of this office. Very truly yours, NEIL F. YEAGER Of BURKE, WILLIAMS & SORENSEN, LLP cc: Mark D. Hensley, City Attorney Rufus C.

The proposed project is a request for approval to change the Zoning and Land Use designation for a portion (23,501 square feet) of the Church's property (to be) from Single - Family (R -1) to Two - Family Residential (R -2) Zone and the Land Use designation from Single - Family to Two - Family Residential. The split zoning of the Church's property is the result of a Lot Line Adjustment (recently approved by the Planning and Building Safety Director }between two existing parcels with two different zoning and land use designations (Single - Family and Two - Family Residential). The additional area (23,501 square feet) added to the Church's property, currently developed with five (5) one -story dwelling units, one garage structure, and two storage sheds; would be demolished to accommodate additional surface parking for the Church. Applicant: Mr. Andrew Wallet. Property Owners: Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (R -2 portion of Parcel 1); and Robert and Betty Ann Carr (R -1 portion of Parcel 1). RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Open public hearing; 2) Discussion; 3) Reading of Ordinance by Title only; 4) Introduce Ordinance; and, 5) Schedule second reading and final adoption of Ordinance on March 17, 1998. INTRODUCTION, BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The Planning Division received the above referenced applications on February 2, 1998.

At the February 26, 1998, Planning Commission Public Hearing, the major issue raised by a member of the public and several Planning Commission members, related to allowing a parking lot in a Single- Family Residential (R -1) neighborhood, which could aesthetically have negative impacts on the surrounding R -1 properties. The property owners across from the Church indicated that they did not want a parking lot in a residential area. Two members of the Planning Commission originally agreed with the neighbors' concerns that a parking lot was not an appropriate or desirable use in a residential neighborhood. However, after discussion the majority of the Commission voted to recommend to the City Council to allow the GPA and ZC. The Commission recommended that the parking lot be landscaped with shade trees, shrubs and ground cover in the front setback to make the lot appear as much as possible as a residential use, and screen the view of the lot. Additionally, landscaping throughout the parking lot and within the side and rear setbacks was required. Security fencing around the parking lot was also required to be provided. A more complete project description, analysis, and background information, is included in the accompanying Planning Commission Staff Report and its attachments, which were previously distributed to the City Council on February 20 and 24, 1998; and, are again included as an attachment to this Report. p:\projects\426-450\ea-435\ea-435-4.ais RESOLUTION NO. 2407 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF A ZONE CHANGE (ZC 98 -1) AND GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT (GPA 98 -1) FOR A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY AT 1215 AND 1217 - 1227 EAST MARIPOSA AVENUE AND CERTIFICATION OF A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT EA435. PETITIONED BY ANDREW WALLET. WHEREAS, an application has been received from Mr. Andrew Wallet, requesting approval of an Environmental Assessment, a Zone Change and General Plan Amendment to allow a zone change from R -1 to R -2 and land use designation change from Single - Family to Two - Family Residential of a portion of the property located at 1215 and 1217 -1227 East Mariposa Avenue; and, WHEREAS, an Environmental Assessment (EA435), 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 February 26, 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, WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of Environmental Assessment EA -435, Zone Change ZC 98 -1 and General Plan Amendment GPA 98 -1; and, WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established: The project site has two different land use and zoning designations. The land use designation of the project site is Single - Family and Two - Family Residential and the zoning classification is Single - Family (R -1) and Two - Family (R -2) Residential. 2. The overall size of the project site consists of 1.427 acres (62,164 square feet), of which the R -1 portion (subject to the Zone Change and General Plan Amendment) is 242.08' (deep) x 15. The Planning Commission will file a quitclaim removing the deed restriction listed above in Item No. 14, subject to proof of a recorded Certificate of Compliance, or other document acceptable to the City of El Segundo, relating to the lot line adjustment between the properties at 1215 and 1217 -1229 East Mariposa Avenue (EA -431 and SUB 97 -4). 16. 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 inter - departmental and public review. No significant adverse impacts were identified. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above facts and study of proposed Environmental Assessment EA435, Zone Change ZC 98 -1 and General Plan Amendment GPA 98 -1, the Planning Commission makes the following findings and recommends the City Council approve a Zone Change and General Plan Amendment, and certify the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts: ENVIRONMENTAL. 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 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. 1. That the proposed project is consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy LU 3 -1.1, which restricts the re- zoning of R -1 zoned areas to higher intensity uses, since any potential future use of the project site will be less intensive than the current existing use (5 dwelling units); and, MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA February 26, 1998 Chairman Crowley called the regular meeting of the El Segundo Planning Commission to order at 7:05 P.M. in the Council Chamber of the City of El Segundo City Hall, 350 Main Street, El Segundo, California. Vice -Chair Wycoff led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. PRESENT: O'HEARN, PALMER, BOULGARIDES, WYCOFF, CROWLEY. The February 12, 1998 minutes were presented. Commissioner Palmer moved to accept the minutes of February 12 , 1998. Chairman O'Hearn seconded. Passed 4 -0 -1 with Vice -Chair Wycoff abstaining. Staff had presented to the Commission a letter from Andrew Wallet. Chairman Crowley presented Environmental Assessment EA- 435 /General Plan Amendment GPA 98 -1 /Zone Change ZC 98 -1 and Conditional Use Permit Amendment CUP 70 -3 -A (CUP Administratively Withdrawn). Address: 1215 (Parcel 1) and 1217- 1229 (Parcel 2) East Mariposa Avenue. Applicant: Mr. Andrew Wallet. Chairman Crowley stated he will not be participating in the discussion since his home is close by, and he may have a conflict of interest. Ms. Greffon stated they originally noticed this project for a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to the original CUP which approved the Church, and later on it had been determined that they didn't need to amend the Conditional Use Permit. Also, they noticed the project as being an EA -431 because they were planning to process the entire application along with the lot line adjustment, but later on they split the two projects, since the lot line adjustment is not subject to Planning Commission approval. Therefore, staff just has the zone change and the General Plan Amendment before the Commission tonight. Ms. Greffon presented the staff report, maps and overheads as outlined in the agenda packet. Vice - Chairman Wycoff opened the Public Hearing. Andrew Wallet, Applicant The church is proposing to have surface parking. The property only recently became available for sale. The church is going to place a green zone, a buffer per the Code, in terms of the front of the parking with trees and shrubbery. As far as the dividing line between the church and the remaining R -1, which is 1229 East Mariposa, there will be a wall. He is the purchaser of 1229 East Mariposa and will be the owner adjoining the Church. The Church has 58 existing parking spaces. The building was built initially to shoehorn even more parking at the time because that was a concern by the City. On Sunday, they are full in terms of the parking lot and there is overflow parking on Mariposa Avenue and Nevada Street. They feel the parking lot won't create anymore traffic. It will allow the members to get parking off the street. 02- 26- 98.min WE':, CALL TO ORDER PLEDGE TO FLAG ROLL CALL CONSENT CALENDER WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS EA -435 Commissioner Palmer asked what the west to east distance is that is designated to become parking. Ms. Greffon stated 97.08 feet. The remaining original portion of Parcel 2 would be at 66 feet wide which still meets the City's subdivision requirements for lot width. Vice -Chair Wycoff asked about the back building on Parcel 2, which shows on the map as shop /studio. Mr. Wallet stated this was a typo. It is a garage. Commissioner Palmer asked about the depth of the property. Director Bernard stated the internal width from property line to property line without the easement is 242 feet and with the 5 foot easement it is 247 feet. Commissioner Boulgarides asked what Mr. Wallet's capacity was in representing the church.. Mr. Wallet stated they are in escrow with the Carr's, who are the sellers of the property, and Mr. Wallet is the purchaser of 1229, which stays R -1 for his own residence, and the Church is purchasing the other parcel. He is representing the church also and is a member. The church is not going to develop this property for anything other than a parking lot. Director Bernard stated currently there are six units on the property and it is intended by the applicant that there be only one unit, with the remaining portion to be a parking lot, and if for any future reason the parking lot were removed, there can only be three units which is still three less than the current use which is six units on an R -1 Zone. The City gains in that there are less residential units in the future than are there now. Ed Eno, 1224 E. Mariposa He and his family have lived at their property for twenty years which is directly across the street from the proposed parking lot. They feel the parking lot will not be a positive impact on the property values in the area. They have often seen people parking on the street with the parking lot empty on Sunday morning. They feel an additional parking lot is not needed and will have a negative impact. The neighborhood currently bears the traffic from the elementary school and in the future the junior high traffic will be added. He asked that this parking lot not be added in their neighborhood. Andrew Wallet (Return) The church has about 300 members in town and on Sunday approximately 200 at services. People get in the habit of parking on Mariposa because the parking lot is difficult to park and get in and out. He feels there are a fair amount of people in the community who are members of the church who have used the property for twenty years and it does not have a negative impact in the neighborhood. If there is more parking, it doesn't mean there will be more traffic. Commissioner Palmer asked staff to review the requirements for landscaping. Ms. Jester stated staff would recommend the commercial standards be used. There are three criteria: the vehicular use area, building perimeter, and property perimeter. In the vehicular use area, it is required to landscape 5% of the total vehicular use area and provide one tree per 3,000 square feet of vehicular use area. Building perimeter does not apply because there would not be a building. Property perimeter requires the entire setback areas to be landscaped but the parking can encroach 50% into those landscaped setbacks as long as the minimum 5 foot setback is maintained. Also, there must be trees on the street frontage with one shade tree for every 25 feet of street frontage. These are the landscape standards for all the commercial and industrial zones. The R -2 landscape requirements just say that landscaping is required in the front yard and street side setbacks. It isn't appropriate for 02- 26- 98.min Q this type of use. Staff suggested through the conditions of approval that the commercial standards be required. For the Parking zone, only 5% of the vehicular use area must be landscaped. Commissioner Boulgarides asked why R -2 was chosen (why a residential parking lot). Ms. Greffon stated the Parking zone allows parking structures subject to approval of a CUP. Mr. Altmayer stated they are creating a situation where the zones are consistent with each other, and with the surrounding neighborhoods. A parking lot is allowed in this area because it is an accessory use to the church. If they decide to move, the City doesn't have any advantage in leaving it as a Parking zone. Mr. Bernard stated the underlining zoning for the Church is currently Two - Family Residential (R -2). If the Church leaves in the future, it will revert to an R -2. Now it is currently R -1, but going back to the trade off, the future use would have two dwelling units there, but currently there are six dwelling units. It is a good situation with the number of units and the General Plan and Zoning. Commissioner O'Hearn stated he went through the Zoning Code and General Plan and feels that it is in the concept that there needs to be a single zone for a given location. It will give a lower density residential land use on that particular lot and if it is properly conditioned, it won't become an eyesore. He feels staff is correct in their analysis. Commissioner Palmer asked about subdivision. Director Bernard stated any subdivision requires Commission approval. There must be access to each subdivision also. Commissioner Boulgarides asked about noticing. Ms. Greffon stated they noticed an 800- 900 foot radius, more than what the requirement which is 300 feet. Mr. Eno stated he found out from a neighbor. Commissioner Boulgarides stated he is a lower density but feels he wouldn't want a parking lot across the street from his house in the interest of lower density. He feels churches are good neighbors, however. Vice -Chair Wycoff stated he likes the idea of going to a lower density and re- zoning makes the entire use consistent. He is concerned about the appearance. The parking lots in this City are not attractive. He isn't worried about the traffic, since the same amount of members will be attending. Andrew Wallet (Return) He stated he has a copy of the proposed parking layout where the architect drew what is intended for landscaping in the parking lot. It is planned to allow a lot of landscaping in the front. Vice -Chair Wycoff stated he would like to see 4 trees in this area. Ms. Greffon stated they can also use the setbacks for the R -2 Zone. They can condition it and not allow the encroachment into the setback and leave the setback all landscaped. Director Bernard stated staff can work with the applicant, as the Commission wants the landscaping to have the appearance of a residential area from the front. The current appearance can be approved upon. Fred Horton He has been a resident since 1971. The front of the church has nice landscaping. Approaching from the west, there are a nice tree, flowers, and shrubs. The church is not an eyesore. 02- 26- 98.min Gail Eno She has been in El Segundo since 1958 and has seen a lot of changes. There isn't U anybody in the City that owns property that would like to see five single family residences: torn down and a parking lot built. People don't live in parking lots. The City is a small community and it's the people who live here that make the community nice. It's not ' pavement. There are other areas in town that can use more parking. Commissioner O'Hearn asked how many curb cuts are along there now. Director Bernard stated at least two. Commissioner O'Hearn moved that they recommend to the City Council approval of the GPA and ZC and that they approve the resolution. Vice -Chair Wycoff seconded. Commissioner O'Hearn and Vice -Chair Wycoff were for the decision while Commissioner Boulgarides is against. Commissioner Palmer was undecided. Commissioner Palmer feels that losing a sense of residential is a problem and she is not in favor of it. Commissioner Boulgarides is also not in favor of the parking lot. Mr. Altmayer stated if Commissioner Palmer opposes, there would be no official Planning Commission recommendation to Council. It will go to Council for the GPA and Zone Change in any case. If it's a 2 -2 vote, it fails for lack of action. Mr. Altmayer further stated that since this is a Zone Change and General Plan Amendment, the decision is not appealable to Council, but that Council has the final decision, which Public Hearing has been noticed for Tuesday, March 3, 1998. Andrew Wallet He stated only one person showed up in opposition. Notice went out to more than the statutory requirements. People don't have to show up to show their approval. Director Bernard suggested that the Commission give staff direction to implement the instructions regarding landscaping in a form of a minute order when the permit comes to staff. Commissioner Palmer stated from the standpoint of not having a lot of community MOTION opposition and they are talking about additional landscaping requirements, she established her vote as a pro -vote. Motion passed 3 -1. Director Bernard confirmed that the Commission adopt Resolution No. 2407, recommending approval of the GPA and ZC. Also a separate action by the Commission is a minute order to implement the landscaping requirements, as instructed, including a minimum of 4 shade trees in the front and other landscaping to make it appear as much as possible as a residential use, screening the lot from view. Also, the applicant will be instructed to require security fencing for the entire parking lot. Vice -Chair Wycoff asked if the Commission can look at the landscaping plan before it goes through. Director Bernard stated that they can as long as it doesn't hold up the processing of the application. Director Bernard stated this item has already been noticed by City Council and will be heard by them this Tuesday evening, March 3, 1998. The Commission took a break. 02- 26- 98.min 4 CITY OF EL SEGUNDO INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE MEETING DATE: February 26, 1998 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Planning Commission 3 FROM: Bret B. Bernard, Director of Planning and Building Safety] b� THROUGH: Laurie B. Jester, Senior Planner STAFF PLANNER: Naima Greffon, Planning Technician \16 b� ' SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment EA-435 Zone Change ZC 98 -1 General Plan Amendment GPA 98 -1 and Conditional Use Permit Amendment CUP 70-3-A (.Administratively withdrawn) Address: 1215 -1227 (Parcel 1) East Mariposa Avenue Applican : Mr. Andrew Wallet Property Owners: Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Parcel 1); and Robert and Betty Ann Carr (Portion {R-11 of Parcel 1) REQUEST The applicant is requesting an approval to change the Zoning and Land Use designation for a portion (23,501 square feet or 97.08' x 242.08') of the Church's property from Single - Family Residential (R -1) to Two - Family Residential (R -2) Zone and the Land Use designation from Single - Family to Two - Family Residential for the purpose of using the area for additional surface parking for the Church. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2407 (to be distributed separately prior to the meeting), recommending that the City Council approve Environmental Assessment EA -435, Zone Change 98 -1 and General Plan Amendment 98 -1; and, find that there are no potential environmental impacts created by the project. BACKGROUND The R -1 portion of the project site, at 1217 -1227 East Mariposa Avenue, has a recorded deed restriction (dated December 7, 1955), which prohibits subdividing the property into smaller lots or parcels. This restriction was a result of a ruling of the Planning Commission (October 10, 1955), in order to allow the construction of three (3) additional dwelling units on the property. Furthermore, according to the Planning Commission minutes, the removal of the deed restriction is subject to Planning Commission approval, which can only be released by an execution of a quitclaim. However, since the dwelling units on this portion of the project site will be demolished as proposed by the applicant and conditioned by the recently approved Lot Line Adjustment, the deed restriction will no longer be necessary. Additionally, on October 28, 1970, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 727 approving a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the construction of a church at 1215 East Mariposa Avenue (R -2 portion of the project site) with a chapel to seat 290 persons, classrooms, a meeting hall and other facilities, along with 61 off - street parking spaces. The Church was conditioned to dedicate to the City (thru the CUP approval) 5 feet along Mariposa Avenue for future street widening purposes (with a reversible clause after a period of 25 years). This street dedication was recorded on January 4, 1971. Furthermore, the shape of the project site became uneven (in depth) as the lot line adjustment approval (February 12, 1998) added additional land to the Church's property which was not part of the original conditional use permit approval. The R -2 portion of the Church's property is 237.08' (deep) by 163.08' (wide) and the R -1 portion is 242.08' (deep) by 97.08' (wide). The 5 foot difference is the required street dedication as described earlier. A condition to dedicate 5 feet from the project site (R -1 portion) is recommended as a condition of approval. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project is a request for approval to change the Zoning and Land Use designation for a portion (23,501 square feet) of the Church's property from the Single - Family Residential (R -1) to Two - Family Residential (R -2) Zone and the Land Use designation from Single - Family to Two - Family Residential. The split zoning of the Church's property is the result of a Lot Line Adjustment (recently approved by the Planning and Building Safety Director in accordance with Chapter 19.16 of the Zoning Code) between two existing parcels with two different zoning and land use designation (Single - Family and Two - Family Residential). The additional area (23,501 square feet) added to the Church's property, is currently developed with five (5) one -story dwelling units, one garage building, and two storage sheds, that would be demolished (as part of the Lot Line Adjustment approval) to accommodate additional surface parking for the Church. SITE DESCRIPTION The project site consists of a newly adjusted parcel with two (2) different zoning designation, Single - Family (R -1) and Two - Family Residential (R -2), which are consistent with the General Plan Land Use designation of Single- Family and Two - Family Residential. The R -2 portion of the site is currently developed with a church and supporting paved surface parking; and the R -1 portion is developed with five (5) detached one -story dwelling units, one garage structure, two storage sheds and some landscaping. SURROUNDING AREA The project site is located within a residential environment and is adjacent to an elementary school immediately to the north and west and single - family residences to the east and south across Mariposa Avenue. 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 immediate surrounding land uses and zoning designations are as follows: LAND USE ZONE North: School Public Facilities (PF) South: Residential Single - Family Residential (R -1) East: Residential Single - Family Residential (R -1) West: School Public Facilities (PF) VIRONMENTAL REVIEW A draft Initial Study was prepared by City staff for the project to evaluate the potential adverse environmental impacts related to the proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change. No significant adverse environmental impacts were identified, and a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is proposed. The draft Initial Study has been circulated for City inter - departmental review and comments, as required by City Council Resolution No. 3805 and State CEQA guidelines, as well as to the surrounding neighboring cities. 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 recommended by the Planning Commission and required by the City Council. INTER - DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS The project applications and plans were circulated to all City Departments for their comments. The Economic Development, Police, Fire, Library, Finance, Recreation and Parks Departments and Building Safety Division had no comments on the project. The Public Works Department recommended that a 5 foot (deep) strip along Mariposa Avenue for the R -1 portion of the project site, be dedicated to the City for future street widening. The City Manager questioned if the original conditional use permit which approved the Church needed to be amended and if more than two units can be allowed once the re- zoning is allowed. In response to the City Manager's first concern, an amendment of the original CUP which approved the Church is not required with these applications, as the City Attorney determined that the future surface parking lot is an ancillary use to the Church, and not an expansion. The second concern has been addressed in the Code Considerations and Analysis Section of this staff report. •B • • General Plan and Zoning The General Plan Land Use designations for the project site are Single - Family and Two - Family Residential. These designations allow one (1) single - family home on one legal lot at a maximum density of eight (8) dwellings units per acre (with a minimum lot size for new lots of 5,000 square feet); and two (2) residences on one legal lot, at a maximum density of 12 dwelling units per acre (with a minimum lot size for new lots of 7,000 square feet), respectively. The project site is zoned R -1 and R -2 (Single - Family and Two - Family Residential) which permit single - family and two- family residences, respectively. Churches are permitted uses subject to approval of a conditional use permit in the Two - Family Residential (R -2) Zone, and are not allowed in the Single - Family Residential (R -1) Zone. As previously discussed, the land uses surrounding the project site consist of an elementary school and residences. The scope of the project is not expected to produce significant impacts in the pattern or scale of existing development on the project site or in the general area of the project. The proposed project will instead eliminate an existing non - conforming use on the property (per virtue of density), since the existing density on the project site is higher (5 instead of 2 units) than what the Zoning Code and General Plan allow. Additionally, if the R -1 portion of the project site is subdivided in the future after it is re -zoned to R -2 (with approval of both a subdivision and a lot line adjustment), only a maximum of four (4) dwelling units would be allowed (2 units on each lot). Furthermore, if the Church were to expand in the future, that expansion would require an amendment of the original conditional use permit (CUP) which approved the construction of the Church. Thus, any future development of the proposed project site would bring the property more into compliance with the requirements of the General Plan and Zoning Code of the City, and reduce the existing number of housing units by only one. Therefore, the proposed project is in compliance with General Plan Land Use Policy LU3 -1.1, which restricts the re- zoning of R -1 zoned areas to higher intensity uses since, as described earlier, any potential future use of the project site will be less intensive than the current existing use. Conditions of approval to ensure compliance with the original CUP approval, or amendment of the CUP should the use change or expand, will be incorporated into Resolution No. 2407. Staff believe, the immediate loss of 5 dwelling units is not significant considering the City's housing stock of 7,190 housing units as of 1990 census, therefore the proposed amendments are in conformance with the Objectives, Goals and Policies of the Housing Element of the City's General Plan. Lastly, even though the Church is not expanding, the provision of additional available parking spaces (future) on the project site may slightly increase vehicle trips by attracting more members to the Church. However, as discussed earlier any expansion of the Church would require an amendment to the conditional use permit, which originally approved the construction of the Church and environmental review for any potential impacts would be assessed and evaluated at that time. Therefore, the proposed project will not have significant impacts and no mitigation beyond the standard City regulations is required. EXHIBITS A.

WHEREAS, an application was received on September 24, 1970 from the Corporation of the First Presidency, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints, local representative, Bishop Paul R. Vidmar, for a conditional use permit to construct a church with a chapel to seat 290 persons, classrooms, meeting hall and other facilities, along with 61 off - street parking spaces on the site as part of the complex, on property commonly known as 1215 East Mariposa Avenue, more particularly described as follows: Lot No. 8, Block No. 115 of E1 Segundo, as per map recorded in Book 20, Page 114 of Maps, in the office of the County Recorder, Los Angeles, California; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did, pursuant to law, hold a duly advertised public hearing on such matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street, in the City of E1 Segundo on October 28, 1970; and WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons to present testimony or documentary evidence both for and against the proposed request; and ' WHEREAS, Bishop Paul R. Vidmar spoke in favor of the request and no other person offered to speak; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that as a result of said hearing, the following facts were established: ►. r G fir, 830 R10 1. The subject property is zoned R -2, Two - Family Residential, which permits churches subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit. 2. The property has been cleared of the existing house and all existing trees have been removed. ' 3. The six foot high masonry wall along Mariposa Avenue has been removed. 4. Across the street south, the property contains well kept, single - family residences on R -1 zoned property. 5. To the west and north is located Center Street Elementary School property which is zoned R -2. 6. To the east, the subject property abuts a single - family residence and three units which were constructed on the rear of property zoned R -1. 7. This request for a conditional use permit has been previously approved by the Planning Commission on May 8, 1968, by Resolution No. 686. Under Section 20.96.020 EXPIRATION., of the 'E1 Segundo Municipal Code," rehearing of the condi- tional use permit is required. Reference is also made to Resolution No. 708 approving (on July 23, 1969) a request from the required off - street parking spaces. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that as a result of said hearing, the commission finds as follows: 1. The purpose of a conditional use permit as defined in Section 20.74.050 of the "E1 Segundo Municipal Code," reads as follows: "(1) To assure that the degree of compatibility and the purpose of this chapter shall be maintained with respect to the particular use on the particular site and in consideration of other existing and potential uses within the general area in which such use is proposed to be located. "(2) To recognize and compensate for variations and degree of technological processes and equipment as related to the factors of noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors and hazards." 2. It was felt that the proposed use would be compatible with the requirements as outlined in Section 20.74.050 of the "E1 Segundo Municipal Code." 3. Good planning dictates a church and other uses, i.e., schools, fire and police stations, should be located near or in the area where they perform services for the people. AND FURTHER RESOLVED, that in view of the above facts and findings, and pursuant to Section 20.74.050 of the "E1 Segundo OL 831 R10 Municipal Code," the Planning Commission hereby grants the request from the Corporation of the First Presidency, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -Day Saints, for a conditional use permit to construct a church with a chapel to seat 290 persons, classrooms, ' meeting hall and other facilities, along with 61 off - street parking spaces on the site as part of the complex, on property commonly known as 1215 East Mariposa Avenue, subject to the following conditions: V-C Lt,% 1. The church dedicate to the City five feet along Mariposa Avenue for future street widening purposes with a rever- sionary clause for a period of 25 years. 2. The six foot fence be retained between the school property and the subject property. 3. Vehicular traffic be required to enter the property from the east driveway and exit from the west driveway. 4. The existing six foot fence along the east property line be reduced to conform to City requirements for front yards, if ' such fence is the church's responsibility. 5. 'Section 20.96.020 EXPIRATION. Any permit or variance granted by the planning commission becomes null and void if not exercised within the time specified in the permit or variance or, if no date is specified, within one year from the date of approval of the permit or variance." (Excerpt from "E1 Segundo Municipal Code. ") AND FURTHER RESOLVED, according to the City Code, within ten days following the adoption of this resolution, the secretary of the Planning Commission shall mail a copy of this resolution to the applicant at the address shown on the application and any other person requesting a copy of same. The decision of the Planning Commission as set forth in this resolution shall become final and effective ten calendar days after the date of notifica- tion to the applicant granting the conditional use permit request unless within such ten- calendar -day period, an appeal, in writing, with an accompanying appeal fee of $25.00 is filed with the City Council by an opponent. 1 1 832 R10 FINALLY RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution shall be forwarded to the City Council for its information as prescribed by law.

As you already know, pursuant to Sections 19.16.040 and 19.16.050 of the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC), conditions of approval may be imposed on Lot Line Adjustment requests to conform to local ordinances and to facilitate the relocation of existing utilities, infrastructure, or easements. The conditions are presented in the Project Staff Report, dated February 12, 1998 (enclosed), and reflect Staff's analysis of the project. Please note that if you wish to appeal this decision, including any of the requisite conditions, the appeal period for this project expires on February 23, 1998; and, if no appeal is filed, the approval becomes effective and final the following day. Furthermore, once the approval becomes effective, you must submit a request for a Certificate of Compliance with the City of El Segundo (blank form is enclosed).

A full-scale set of stamped maps is also required, for our project file. Also, once you receive approval of the Certificate of Compliance, a new grant deed must be recorded with the Los Angeles County Clerk and a copy of that recorded document must be fumished to us.

Bernard, AICP, Director of Planning and Building Safety THROUGH: Laurie B. Jester, Senior Planner FROM: Greffon Naima, Planning Technician jv SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment EA -431/ Subdivision 97-4/ Lot Line -Adjustment -. Add_ ress: 1215 (Parcel 1) and 1217 -1229 (Parcel 2) E. Mariposa Ave. Andrew Wallet Drn Owners: Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Parcel 1); and Robert and Betty Ann Carr (Parcel 2) The applicant is requesting approval for a Lot Line Adjustment between two (2) existing parcels, located at 1215 East Mariposa Avenue (church) in the Two - Family Residential (R -2) Zone and 1217- 1229 East Mariposa Avenue (residences) in the Single - Family Residential (R -1) Zone. Staff recommends that, pursuant to the procedure outlined in the El Segundo Municipal Code, the Director of Planning and Building Safety approve Environmental Assessment EA -431 and Subdivision SUB 97-4 (Lot Line Adjustment), subject to the conditions contained within this report. The project site consists of two (2) existing legally created lots: Parcel 1 is approximately 38,663 square feet (.887 acres), and Parcel 2 is approximately 39,478 square feet (.90 acres). Additionally, Parcel 1 is currently developed with a church totaling 13,537 square feet of building area and covering approximately 35% of the lot. Parcel 2 is also developed and consists of five (5) detached one -story dwelling units (of which three have a one -space garage each, attached to the residences); one (1) detached two -story single - family residence; three (3) separate detached garages; and two (2) separate detached sheds, totaling 10,355 square feet of building area and covering 26.22% of the lot. Parcel 1 is accessed from 2 driveways and Parcel 2 is accessed from 3 driveways, all off of Mariposa Avenue. Parcel 2 has a recorded deed restriction (dated December 7,1955) which prohibits subdividing the property Into smaller lots or parcels. This restriction was a result of a ruling of the Planning Commission (October 10, 1955), in order to allow the construction of three (3) additional dwellings on the property. The project site is surrounded by the following uses: Center Street Elementary School playgrounds to the north and south; and single - family residences to the east and south across from Mariposa Avenue. The immediate surrounding land uses and zoning designations are as follows: North: School South: Residential East: Residential West: School •k Public Facilities (PF) Single - Family Residential (R -1) Single - Family Residential (R -1) Public Facilities (PF) The applicant is proposing to adjust the lot line between the two existing parcels, with net parcel sizes of 62,164 square feet (1.427 acres) for Parcel 1; and 15,977 square feet (.366 acres) for Parcel 2. The boundary line of the R -1 and R -2 Zones would remain as the existing side property line, so the adjustment in the lot lines would result in the creation of split zoning (R -1 and R -2) for Parcel 1. Both parcels would show a decrease in lot coverage: Parcel 1 to 21.77% (from 35 %) and Parcel 2 to 25.9% (from 26.22 %). The proposal includes the demolition of the existing five (5) one - story dwelling units and attached garages; one (1) garage structure; and two (2) storage sheds from Parcel 2, totaling 6,209 square feet. The additional area (23,501.13 square feet) added to Parcel 1 would be used in the future for additional surface parking for the church. The proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15305 (a), as a Class 5 project (Minor lot line adjustment not resulting in the creation of any new parcel). INTER- DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS The project application and map were circulated to all City Departments /Divisions for their comments. The Departments /Divisions had no comments on the project. The Subdivision Map Act, Section 66412 (d), and Chapter 19.16 of the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC), allow lot line adjustments between existing adjacent parcels where land is taken from one parcel and added to an adjacent parcel, if a greater number of parcels is not created. The proposed lot line adjustment would increase the size of Parcel 1 and decrease the size of Parcel 2, and would not result in the creation of any new parcels. Additionally, according to Sections 19.16.040 and 19. 16.050 of the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC), in the evaluation of a lot line adjustment, the Director of Planning and Building Safety shall limit the review to a determination of whether or not the new parcels will conform to existing local ordinances. Conditions may only be imposed to require that the lots conform to local ordinances. The proposed parcels would measure as follow; Parcel 1- 62,164 sq.ft., 163.08 ft. x 237.08 ft. (R -2 2 zone portion) and 97.08 ft. x 242.08 fL (R -1 gone pordon); and Parcel 2- 15,977 sq.ft., 66 ft. x 242.08 ft (R -1). The following standards apply too newly created parcels In the R -1 and R -2 Zones: R -1 R -2 P. arcel I Min. lot size 5,000 SF 7,000 SF 23,501 SF 38,663 SF 62,164 SF 15,977SF Min. lot width 50 ft. 50 ft. 97.08 ft. 163.08 ft. 260.16 ft. 66 ft. Max. lot cov. , _ 40% & 47%. 50% 21.77% 25.9% Min. side yard 5 ft. 5 ft. 113.08 ft. 10.3 ft. As previously stated in the "Site Description" section, Parcels 1 and 2 currently are accessed from two (2) end three (3) driveways, respectively. The approval of the Lot Line Adjustment will change the driveway distribution for both parcels; three driveways will be contained within Parcel 1; one (1) driveway will be contained within Parcel 2; and lastly one (1) driveway will be contained between the two parcels (1 and 2). Therefore the approval should be subject to the removal or relocation of the driveway, curbcut and gutter that is located between the two parcels, or a joint access agreement would need to be recorded. Lastly, as the above Matrix shows, the proposed Lot Line Adjustment will conform with the development standards of the respective zoning designations of R -1 and R -2. Currently, the Zoning Code allows single - family and two- family residences in R -1 and R -2 as permitted uses, respectively. Churches are permitted uses subject to approval of a conditional use permit in the R -2 Zone, but are not allowed in the R -1 Zone. However, the proposed use of a parking lot on the R -1 portion of Parcel 1 (Church's property), which will have a split zoning (if approved), would not comply with the requirements of the Zoning Code for the R -1 Zone. Therefore, the applicant should be required to apply for a General Plan Amendment and subsequently a Zone Change, should the R -1 portion of Parcel 1 be used for additional parking for the Church, or for any other use not permitted in the R -1 Zone. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL 1. All documents for recordation (Lot Line Adjustment Map, Legal Description) shall be stamped and signed by a licensed surveyor or civil engineer. 2. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Compliance, the existing five (5) one -story dwelling units and attached garages; one (1) garage structure (located along the proposed new property line); -and the two (2) storage sheds, must be removed from the property. 3. Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Compliance, the curbcut and driveway located between Parcels 1 and 2 must be removed or relocated and the curb, gutter and sidewalk restored to City specifications or a joint access agreement must be recorded. The removal and relocation 3 or agreement are subject to approval by the Planning and Building Safety Director, and the Director of Public Works. 4. The R -1 (Single - Family Residential) zoned portion of proposed Parcel 1 (Church's property) must be re- designated in the General Plan as Two - Family Residential and re-zoned to Two- Family Residential (R -2) in order to use it as additional parking for the Church, or for any other use not permitted in the Single- Family Residential (R -1) Zone.

Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlffe species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? — — b.

(A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time, while long -term impacts will endure well into the future). — — c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may impact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the envi- ronment is significant). — — d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause sub- stantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? — — 1 pISCi rSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (See attached sheets for narrative description of Environmental Impacts - Initial Study). RECOMMENDATION On the basis of this Initial Study of Environmental Impact, staff recommends the following: That the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION should 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 in the attached Initial Study, have been added to the project and, therefore, a NEGATIVE DECLARATION should be prepared. That the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT should be required. That the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment and a FOCUSED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT, addressing the items and concerns indicated in the attached Initial Study, should be required. ~ ,"- % Signature: Date: � For Director of,Planning and Building Safety City of El Segundo RevisedOW97 intist -3.gst h] TO: ,� n^_X ('� City of El Segundo INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE Circulation Date: February 09, 1998 „ r TO: Jim Morrison, City Manager i ' Jim Fauk, Director of Recreation and Parks Tim Grimmond, Chief of Police n t' Jim Hansen, Director of Economic Development Eunice Kramer, Finance Director Jake Nielson, Fire Chief Barbara Pearson, Library Director Pi > WING >�Gj DI vIv Ed Schroder, Public Works Director Ron Darville, Senior Plans Examiner FROM: Bret B.

The split zoning of the Church's property is the result of a Lot Line Adjustment (recently administratively approved by the Planning and Building Safety Director) between two existing parcels with two different zoning and land use designation (Single - Family and Two - Family Residential). The additional area (23,501 square feet) added to the Church's property, currently developed with five (5) one -story dwelling units, one garage structure, and two storage sheds; would be demolished to accommodate additional surface parking for the Church. The property to the north and west of the subject site is zoned Public Facilities (PF), and the properties to the east and south (across from Mariposa Avenue) are zoned Single - Family Residential (R -1).

The project site has two different land use and zoning designations. The land use designation of the project site is Single - Family and Two - Family Residential and the zoning classification is Single - Family (R -1) and Two - Family (R -2) Residential. 2. The overall size of the project site consists of 1.427 acres (62,164 square feet), of which the R -1 portion (subject to the Zone Change and General Plan Amendment) is 242.08' (deepl x 97.08' {widel (23,501 square feet), and the R -2 portion is 237.08' (deep) x 163.08' (wide) (38,663 square feet). 3. On February 12, 1998, a Lot Line Adjustment (EA -431 and SUB 97 -4) between two legally created parcels located at 1215 and 1217 -1229 East Mariposa Avenue, was approved in conformance with the City's Subdivision requirements by the Director of Planning and Building Safety. 4. The R -1 portion of the project site is currently developed with five (5) one -story dwelling units, one garage building, and two (2) storage sheds, which would be demolished. 5. The R -2 portion of the project site is developed with a Church and supporting surface parking. 6. The future proposed use of the R -1 portion of the project site is a surface parking lot for the Church. 7. The surrounding areas to the north and west are developed with an elementary school, and to the east and south across Mariposa Avenue are single - family residences. The property to the north and west is zoned Public Facilities (PF), and to the east and south are zoned Single - Family Residential (R -1). 8. Section 20.22.040 (B) of the R -2 zone allows churches as permitted uses subject to approval of a conditional use permit. Churches are not permitted uses in the R -1 zone. 9. The use of the R -1 portion of the project site is currently legal non - conforming per virtue of density. 10. The existing use of the Church is not proposed to be expanded. 11. The project site (R -1 and R -2 portions) has an uneven shape, as the lot line adjustment added land to the Church's property (R -2), which was not part of the original Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval. 12. On October 28, 1970, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 727 approving a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the construction of a church at 1215 East Mariposa Avenue (R -2 portion of the project site) with a chapel to seat 290 persons, classrooms, a meeting hall and other facilities, along with 61 off - street parking spaces. 13. Condition No. 1 of Resolution No. 727 required a five (5) foot dedication along Mariposa Avenue for future street widening, which dedication was recorded on January 4, 1971. 14. The R -1 portion of the project site has a recorded deed restriction (dated December 7, 1955), which prohibits subdividing the property into smaller lots or parcels. The removal of the deed restriction is subject to Planning Commission approval. 15. The Planning Commission will file a quitclaim removing the deed restriction listed above in Item No. 14, subject to proof of a recorded Certificate of Compliance, or other document acceptable to the City of El Segundo, relating to the lot line adjustment between the properties at 1215 and 1217 -1229 East Mariposa Avenue (EA -431 and SUB 97 -4). 16. 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 inter - departmental and public review. No significant adverse impacts were identified. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that after considering the above facts and study of proposed Environmental Assessment EA -435, Zone Change ZC 98 -1 and General Plan Amendment GPA 98 -1, the City Council makes the following findings: Vol am I Me 03 1 OR I V3 NMNWSM� I . 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 was prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and, 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, 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 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. L"JQJ0J7,-"J"- That the proposed project is consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy LU 3 -1.1, which restricts the re- zoning of R -1 zoned areas to higher intensity uses, since any potential future use of the project site will be less intensive than the current existing use (5 dwelling units); and, The proposed project is consistent with the Objectives, Goals and Policies of the City's Housing Element. a. �. c- NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER ORDAINED that the City Council hereby approves Environmental Assessment EA -435, Zone Change ZC 98 -1 and General Plan Amendment GPA 98 -1, subject to the following conditions and adopt changes to the El Segundo Municipal Code as follows: SECTION 1.

Ganibi, Administrative Analyst II /Telephone Administrator Subject: 310 AREA CODE STATUS REPORT & RECOMMENDATION Per request, this memorandum was written as an update to our 310 AREA CODE situation. The following relief plans will be submitted the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) this week from the California- Nevada Code Administration (CNCA), representing the telecommunication industry's support: 1) GEOGRAPHIC SPLIT / ALTERNATIVE 1A (see attached information): a) Split line begins at the Pacific Ocean & travels east on W. Imperial Avenue. At Sepulveda Blvd., it runs east on Imperial Hwy.. It drops down to W. 115th Street at Aviation (still eastbound), then southbound on S. Crenshaw Blvd. At W. El Segundo Blvd, it jogs along the now 213 area code boundary to the 562 boundary. b) The 310 area code remains north of the geographic split line with the new area code to the south. The affected communities targeted for the new area code are: A small part of Hawthorne, the majority of Hawthorne, and all of El Segundo, Lawndale, Gardena, Compton, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Lomita, Carson, Lynwood, Wilmington, San Pedro, the Palos Verdes Peninsula, a small portion of Long Beach and Catalina Island. 2) OVERLAY PLAN / ALTERNATIVE #4: a) The overlay retains the same geography as the current 310 area. The new area code is placed over the same geographic area. b) All calling in or to an overlaid area require 11 digit dialing (1+ area code + phone number). This includes all outgoing calls, even within the same overlay. c) The CPUC requires that Service Provider Local Number Portability (L.NP) be established prior to the use of an overlay. LNP is technology that enables a customer to change local service providers without having to change telephone numbers and is expected to begin by the 2nd Quarter of 1998. The above listed geographic split is detrimental to all Cities in the South Bay. The overlay is the lesser of two evils and will disadvantage all new customers ( business & residential). A coordinated effort by the South Bay Cities to lobby the CPUC is highly recommended. 00077 STATUS REPORT ON 310 AREA CODE RELIEF (MBRUARY 11, 1998) Two plazas for 310 area code relief will be submitted to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) by the California/Nevada Code Administration within the next week. The plans are as follows: Alternative 1A Geographic split along Imperial Highway, with cities and communities north of Imperial retaining 310 and cities and communities south of Imperial receiving the new area code. Alternative 4. Overlay. All current business and residential customers retain 310. New telephone service orders will receive new area code. The CPUC is expected to make a decision by July or August of this year. Changes Will become effective in July of 1999 with a permissive dialing period of approximately 6 months and mandatory dialing beginning in January or February 2000. Comments or concerns on the above may be submitted in writing directly to the CPUC at the following address: CALIFORNIA. PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION Telecommunications Division., 3'd Flool- 505 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA 94102 # ## 00078 AREA CODE RELIEF FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Telecommunications service providers, in California, request prefixes from the California Code Administration. California Code Administration assigns new prefixes, monitors the usage of prefixes within an area code, and forecasts when an area code will most likely exhaust and a new area code will be required. California Code Administration regularly apprises the industry of the status of the various area codes within California so that the industry can plan relief well in advance of the actual area code exhaust. California state law requires that the public be informed, in writing, 24 months prior to the actual implementation of a new area code. Who Decides Who Receives The New Area Code? The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) makes the final decision on area code relief and determines what area will retain the existing area code and be given the new area code. The CPUC relies on the telecommunications industry to manage the utilization of area codes in California and to submit plans to the CPUC when additional area code relief is required. Area code relief begins with the determination by the telecommunications industry and California Code Administration, working in unison, that a particular area code will run out of prefixes in approximately three years. The area code relief process begins with a telecommunications industry group, comprised of more than 30 companies, who attend planning meetings to identify viable solutions. When developing and evaluating area code relief plans, industry representatives are required to follow regulations established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the CPUC, as well as the telecommunications industry guidelines. The industry is also constrained to follow rate area boundaries. After feasible alternatives are developed, meetings are held with government representatives and the public to gain the benefit from their experience and knowledge. The industry then meets to consider all factors and strives to reach consensus on the best plan for the area as a whole. The plan, with the Industry's recommendation, is then submitted to the CPUC. If the Industry is unable to reach consensus on a relief plan then the results are submitted to the CPUC.

They are truly an ass et to the community and their appreciation of the family and home is truly respected et my family and, I believe, the community. Therefore, I am requesting the Church and the City Council reconsider the construction of the parking lot and retain the five family homes on Mariposa. Has the church considered other solutions such as using the Center Street School parking lot on the corner of Mariposa and Center Street? While I can sympathize with the dilemma that the Church and it's members are facing, it is family homes that are the care of our community and an aspect that makes El Segundo a very ery special in the South Bay. We all appreciate having neighbors, tree lined streets and children playing in the yards and I don't believe a parking lot would be an asset to the community or the residents on Mariposa. I hope the Church will consider an alternative solution. Sincerely, d�Gyy� Linda Johnson ;n NOTICE OF CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the public hearing: 1.

Bernard Director of Department of Planning & Building Safety City of El Segundo 350 Main Street E1 Segundo, CA 90245 0 .1 FEB 91 i TELEPHONE (310) 477 -8878 FACSIMILE (310) 477 -6869 Re: Lot Line Adjustment Project No. EA -431 Address: 1215; 1217 -1229 East Mariposa Avenue, E1 Segundo Dear Mr. Bernard: I am documenting by way of this letter the facts surrounding the above mentioned lot line adjustment and the hardship and attendant damages experienced by myself (Buyer of 1229 E. Mariposa), the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (owner of 1215 East Mariposa Avenue and Buyer of the five units) and Mr. and Mrs. Carr (owners and Sellers of 1217 -1229 East Mariposa Avenue). The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, has had its building at the 1215 East Mariposa Avenue location for decades. For virtually all of that time parking has been a problem. On any given Sunday and at other meeting times, Church members are forced to park in front of the single family residences along Mariposa and Nevada Streets. For many obvious reasons, additional parking will alleviate the long standing parking problems. The Carr's property has not been on the market for over 20 years. The opportunity to purchase the adjoining property was seen as a solution to alleviate the parking problem. ,, Brett B. Bernard February 4, 1998 Re: Project No. EA -431 1215; 1217 -1229 E. Mariposa Page 2 Additionally, the Church has and always will be a "good neighbor" to the community. At the request of Center Street School, the Church has allowed a gate to be put into the back fence of its existing lot and the school district has built a stairway on its property which allows school personnel to utilize the Church's parking lot during school hours. I am aware also that parents in the community do pull on and off of the Church's parking lot to drop off and pick -up their children. On any given school day, the Church's parking lot is full. The Church is happy to cooperate with the school and provide additional parking for them for free. Acquisition of the subject property and the intended additional parking will afford additional benefit to Center Street School. Representing the Church and on my own behalf, I contacted Mr. and Mrs. Carr's agent. After much negotiation we were able to negotiate an agreeable purchase arrangement wherein the Church would purchase a portion of the property consisting of the 5 rental units with the intent to demolish said units and utilize the space for parking. The portion of the property consisting of the main residence commonly known as 1229 would be purchased by myself and my wife. The transaction was accepted in August of 1997. The main contingency of the deal provided for approval by the City of E1 Segundo for the above mentioned intended use by the Church and myself respectively. The City approval contingency period ran to January 26, 1998. It was contemplated that there was more than enough time allowed to satisfy the City approval contingency. Escrow is set tp close February 26, 1998. I have reviewed my records and on August 28, 1997, I called the City Planning Department and spoke with Mr. Paul Garry. I explained in detail the project and intended use for parking, etc. My notes indicate that I spoke with Mr. Garry about procedures for a conditional use permit, zoning and the lot split, etc. That same day, I spoke with the Church's architect Brett B. Bernard February 4, 1998 Re: Project No. EA -431 1215; 1217 -1229 E. Mariposa Page 3 regarding the conditional use, contacted the engineer to begin processing applications. On August 29, 1997, I met Mr. Garry at the Planning Department with the intent of picking up the various applications to begin the process. We discussed in detail the intended use of the Carr's property. We reviewed various maps, City Zoning Guidelines, etc. At this meeting, Mr. Garry indicated that he believed a conditional use permit and zoning change would not be necessary and that a lot line adjustment would be the only procedure necessary. He mentioned that he wanted to consult with the City Attorney's Office and his supervisor, Laurie Jester. I recall distinctly telling Mr. Garry that we could not have delays or errors and we needed to make perfectly sure that the lot line adjustment, as he suggested, was the correct way to proceed. On September 5, 1997, I had a telephone conversation with Mr. Garry, wherein he informed me that he did speak with the City Attorney's Office about the zoning issues in connection with the Church's R -2 zone and the Carr's R -1 zone, the parking use, the lot split, etc. Mr. Garry informed me that the City Attorney as well as his supervisor, Laurie Jester, indicated to him that the lot line adjustment would be an appropriate way to proceed and that the intended use for parking would not require a zone change, etc. That same day, I had a conference with the Church's architect informing him of the lot line adjustment procedure and instruction to begin preparation of the documents for the application. On September 9, 1997, I had a meeting with Mr. Garry, wherein we reviewed a copy of title documents I received, specifically a deed restriction to hold the parcel as one parcel which was the result of the City's requirement in 1955. Mr. • 0 Brett B. Bernard February 4, 1998 Re: Project No. EA -431 1215; 1217 -1229 E. Mariposa Page 4 Garry pulled the book containing the minutes of that meeting and we both reviewed the minutes which did not indicate any reason or shed any light on the reason for the deed restriction. After further discussion, Mr. Garry indicated that the City would release that requirement inasmuch as the five rental units were to be demolished. The Church's architect and engineer proceeded to gather and prepare the documents necessary for the lot line adjustment and they in turn spoke with Mr. Garry to guide them in the preparation of documents. Additionally, Mr. Garry indicated to them that it would be wise to prepare proposed parking plans in order to have a complete package. On November 14, 1997, the Church's architect, Mr. Kornwall, the Church's engineer, Mr. Wilch, and myself met with Mr. Garry for the purpose of filing the lot line adjustment application and to make sure all documents were complete. Mr. Garry reviewed the documentation and indicated he needed some additional calculations which were provided by Mr. Wilch at that time. The parking map was also included and filed that day. I personally paid for the application fees. Mr. Garry indicated that City approval would take approximately one month. We did discuss the time frames involved with our escrow and felt confident, based upon representations made by Mr. Garry, that we would have the lot line adjustment approval in December, 1997. Sometime during the second week of December 1997, I called Mr. Garry in an attempt to get a status of our application. Much to my surprise, Mr.-Garry indicated that he had to check to see who was handling the application. I indicated to him that I assumed that he would be handling the application inasmuch as he did all of the research and was familiar with the project. Mr. Garry indicated that Ms. Greffon had been assigned the application and that she was out of the office for approximately 2 weeks. I followed -up in late December and it wasn't until early January wherein Ms. Greffon indicated Brett B. Bernard February 4, 1998 Re: Project No. EA -431 1215; 1217 -1229 E. Mariposa Page 5 X that she was first in a position to review the application. She had no background information. I did indicate to her that we had already lost a month of processing time and that time was of the essence due to the upcoming contingency deadline for City approval of January 26, 1998 in our escrow. Ms. Greffon indicated that she would speak with Mr. Garry and move the application along as fast as possible. For the next several weeks I had multiple conversations with Ms. Greffon about the status of the application and its progress. On or about January 27, 1998, Ms. Greffon informed me that the City could not approved the intended use of the property for parking pursuant to a lot line adjustment application procedure. She indicated that a zone change would be necessary. Of course, I informed her of the previous instructions I had received by Mr. Garry and the fact that this would create a severe hardship for all parties involved in the transaction. On January 28, 1998, I spoke with you about the facts and instructions upon which we relied to our detriment. You reiterated that although the City was at fault concerning the lot line adjustment procedure in connection with the parking, nevertheless a zone change and general plan amendment was necessary. You indicated that you would talk to the City attorney in an attempt to alleviate the problem. A meeting was arranged between you, Mr. Hensley, the City Attorney, Perry Boylard on behalf of the LDS Church and myself. At the January 30, 1998, meeting I elaborated on the facts upon which we relied on the City;s instruction to proceed along with the lot line adjustment only. I elaborated on the fact that the transaction is set to close on February 26, 1998, that the contingency for City approval had expired, that the Church and myself had expended thousands of dollars in connection with environmental reports, inspections, engineers, architect, etc. Additionally, I stated that the Carr's tenants were beginning to move out of the property as a result of the i� Brett B. Bernard February 4, 1998 Re: Project No. EA -431 1215; 1217 -1229 E. Mariposa Page 6 impending escrow closing date and that the Carr's were losing several thousand dollars a month in rent. I also indicated that my family was and is in a position of having to move out of the house we are in as a result of the Buyer of said house needing to move in at the end of February. I now find myself in the unenviable position of having to find a place for my family, i.e. wife and 5 children, pending the resolve of the transaction. Mr. Carr's real estate agent indicates that another tenant has given notice to vacate. Inasmuch as the required zone change and general plan amendment will delay this transaction yet another sixty days or more, the Carr's will experience further damage through loss of rental income. In order to extend our escrow with Mr. and Mrs. Carr, it will become necessary for us to release funds through escrow to them to help mitigate damage and negotiate the extension of escrow. I have been communicating with Ms. Greffon who is diligently trying to expedite the processing of the zone change and general plan amendment. Ms. Greffon indicated that publication will be effected February 5, 1998; I have contacted Chicago Title Company to provide me with a of list names of property owners in a 300 foot radius of the property along with labels. Ms. Greffon indicated that the City will provide envelopes and postage and of course will mail the notices to the property owners. Ms. Greffon indicated that the filing fees for the above mentioned applications can total between two and three thousand dollars. I am requesting that the City waive any additional fees in an effort toward mitigating our damages and the hardship we're experiencing. Please let me know if the City will waive all filing fees. E0 Brett B. Bernard February 4, 1998 Re: Project No. EA -431 1215; 1217 -1229 E. Mariposa Page 7 It is my understanding from Ms. applications are tentatively scheduled to planning commission on February 26, 1998. Commission approves same, the matter will Council for the first reading on March 3, reading on March 17, 1998. Assuming the the applications a thirty (30) day appeal X Greffon that the be heard by the Assuming the Planning then go to the City 1998 and the second :ity Council approves period applies. Assuming all goes according to plan, we could close escrow sometime in late April 1998. I appreciate that you and Mr. Hensley have indicated that the City will do everything it can, within the limits of the law, to expedite the process. As stated above, I am setting forth the facts and the hardship experienced, which I hope will be brought to the attention of the Planning Commission and City Council in their consideration of this project. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. AMW:scc enclosures CC: Perry Bolyard Ken Wilch Kent Kornwall Very truly yours, /'� U� � . /51a� ANDREW M. WALLET
