City Council Staff Report
March 3, 1998
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND (CONTINUED):
Page 2
The City Attorney requested that the Council hold their discussion and decisions on abandoned signs so that he would
have time to review two issues with staff. 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.

traffic impacts and maximizing the public benefit. This Chapter provides for the transfer of a minimum
of 25,000 square feet of Net Floor Area (NFA) between properties under common ownership. Transfers
may only occur from properties west of Sepulveda Boulevard, located in the C -3 and C -O Zones, to
properties east of Sepulveda Boulevard and located in the C -3, CO, MU -N, and M -I Zones.
20.64.020 DEFINITIONS.
The following terms, whenever used in this Chapter, shall apply only to the transfer of development
rights procedures as provided for in this Chapter:
A. "Transfer of Development Rights (TDR's)" means allowing a property to increase its building
square footage above that permitted by the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) standards by purchasing

Kopp Introduces Bill To Quell Airport Clamor
State Senator Quentin L. 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. The measure further
requires that affected neighborhoods be informed of changes in flight paths prior
to their execution. Currently, adversely affected communities are informed of
such change after they've been effectuated or not at all.
"People across the State of California are subject to incredible jet aircraft noise
pollution for the 'good! of interstate commerce. 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. "With all the complaints I have received over the years from noise at
SFO, I find that incomprehensible."

FAA BEGINS POTOMAC PROJECT
WITHOUT PUBLIC CONSULTATION
By Charles F. 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

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.
And, for the first time, FAA has handed over ARTS (Automated Radar Terminal

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

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Reject all bids received for Phase I of the construction of a roller hockey rink in Recreation Park and authorize
staff to readvertise the project for receipt of construction bids.
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.

DISCUSSION:
On February 17, 1998, the City Clerk received and opened the following two (2) bids:
Hondo Company $104,130.00
Vido Samarvich $178,200.00
Engineer's Estimate $83,000.00
(based on cost estimated provided
by the architect)
A third bid by Century Paving, Inc., was submitted to the City Clerk eight (8) minutes after the scheduled bid
opening time and has not been opened.
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.

Phase I (to be included in the bid package)
70'- 8" x 170'- 8" concrete hockey rink: $83,000.00
(Scope of work includes demolition of existing two (2) volleyball courts,
grading, relocation of existing landscaping and irrigation systems, concrete
footing around rink perimeter, and does not include relocation of the
existing baseball batting cages. 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. Concrete walk around rink with retaining wall at south embankment $27,500.00
2. 12' height and 42" height chainlink fence $15,000.00
3. 4- players benches $2,000.00
4. 2- bleachers (50 seats each) 6,000.00
5. Border patrol (dasher boards) $40,000.00
6. Rink surface coating $5,000.00
Both Phases I and II do not include installation of new lighting for the rink. 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.
Staff recommends City Council adoption of the master plan and authorization for staff to advertise the
Phase I of the project for receipt of construction bids.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 3, 1998
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business - City Attorney
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Zakaroff Recycling Services - Republic Industries, Inc. 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.)

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.

Dear Mr. Morrison:
VINCENT C. 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

Re: Zakaroff Services, Inc. /Republic Industries, Inc. 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.

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

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,

City Council Staff Report
March 3, 1998
DISCUSSION:
On February 26, 1998, the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing, reviewed the facts and findings related
to Environmental Assessment EA -435, General Plan Amendment GPA 98 -1 and Zone Change 98 -1 and adopted
Resolution No. 2407, recommending that the City Council approve EA -435, GPA 98 -1 and ZC 98 -1.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MASTER PLAN The matter of the report to the Recreation Commi.sa:kon
OF RECREATION was discussed and a Staff Report in the form of &'letter
was read, whereupon it was moved by Commissioner Bider,
seconded by Commissioner Warnock, that said letter be sent to the Recreation
Commission, as follows: /
\"Recreation Commission
City Hall

Gentlemen: ;
With reference to your request f6r a report from
this Body upon plans being considered bi your Commission for
that area bouVed in part by Sheldon Avenues Pine Avenue and
Eucalyptus Drive, such report being )required of this Commission
according to State Law, the facts as they appear in our records
indicate that the recreation port n of the Master Plan of the
City of El Segundo designates t4s site as a part of the proposed
system on the ground that it is/well-located with reference to
population distribution,and access.
Therefore, consummation of your plan would make a
material contribution towaids realizing the City's plans for
recreation.
So far as thq' internal \plans for recreational
facilities are concerned, that resents a matter primarily
the prerogative and/responsibilitk.of the Recreation Commission
to decide. The or4y exception to these considerations of
internal design 4�5 that the Planning\Commission points out the
importance of p�oviding the maximum amount of off - street parking
consistent with developing the recreational facilities themselves.
Respectfully submitted,

CHAPEL TO SEAT 290 PERSONS, CLASSROOMS, MEETING
' HALL AND OTHER FACILITIES, ALONG WITH 61 OFF -
STREET PARKING SPACES ON PROPERTY COMMONLY KNOWN
AS 1215 EAST MARIPOSA AVENUE.
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.

RE: Environmental Assessment EA-431 and Subdivision SUB 97-4
Lot Line Adjustment
Address: 1215 and 1217-1229 East Mariposa Avenue
Dear Mr. Wallet:
I am pleased to inform you that your application for a Lot Line Adjustment at
1215 and 1217-1229 East Mariposa Avenue has been conditionally
approved as of today's date, February 12, 1998. 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). Please make sure that all documents for recordation (Lot Line
Adjustment maps, legal descriptions of all new parcels and easements) are
letter-sized (8.5" x 11 "), and stamped and dated by a State licensed surveyor
or engineer. 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.

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:

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.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a. 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. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-tens, to the
disadvantage of long -term, environmental goals? (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.

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 hearings the following facts were established:
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-

Inter - Departmental Correspondence
February 12, 1998
All City Council Members & City Manager (Through Channels)
From: Gary D. 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:

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.

El Segundo City Council
350 Main Street
El Segundo, CA 90245
Dear Council Members:
I am writing to express my concern about the parking lot to be built by The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Mariposa. The Latter Day Saints have been a
wonderful influence in the community for many years. 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

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.

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.

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

Re: Project No. EA -431
1215; 1217 -1229 E. Mariposa

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�

Re: Project No. EA -431
1215; 1217 -1229 E. Mariposa

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.

As stated above, I am setting forth the facts and the
