INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On March 3, 1998, the City Council held a public hearing (continued from November 18, 1997, December 2, 1997,
January 3, 6, 20, February 3 and 17, 1998) on the above Third Quarter Amendments. At that time, the City Council
introduced an Ordinance to amend various sections of the City's General Plan, Zoning Code, and Local Coastal
Program.
DISCUSSION:
The attached Ordinance is being presented for a second reading and Adoption. If adopted without change, the
provisions will become effective in thirty days time.
On March 3, 1998, the Council directed staff to revise the proposed Third Quarter Amendments related to Detached
Accessory Buildings to allow attics in detached accessory structures, provided they are used for storage purposes;
and, provided access to an attic is not from permanently fixed stairs. Pull down type stairs would be permitted. Staff
has revised the proposed Zoning Code text to incorporate the Council's direction, including the addition of a new
definition of an "attic ". Additionally, staff requests that the Council review the possibility of requiring a covenant
restricting the use of attics for storage for any detached accessory building with an attic, as the current Zoning Code
requires a covenant for detached accessory structures. However, it now specifically excludes garages. Limiting the
electrical in attics to the minimum required by Building Safety is also proposed for the Council's consideration, as well
as a clarification that no plumbing would be permitted in the attic.
Additionally, the Council continued the public hearing and discussion of the remaining proposed Third Quarter
Amendments to Signs and Amplified Sound Permits (EA -419A, ZTA 97 -3A) for further review to the April 21, 1998
meeting of the City Council.

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

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Discussion;
2) Second Reading of Ordinance for Church (EA -435) by title only; and,
3) By motion, Adopt Ordinance; or,
4) Other possible action.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On March 3, 1998, the City Council held a public hearing on the re- designation of a portion of the Church property at
1215 -1227 East Mariposa Avenue. At that time, the City Council introduced an Ordinance to amend various Sections
of the City's General Plan and Zoning Map.
DISCUSSION:
The attached Ordinance is being presented for a second reading and adoption. If adopted without change, the
provisions will become effective in thirty days time.
On March 3, 1998, the Council requested that the Applicant meet and work with the Church's neighbors in the
development of a mutually agreed to landscaping plan for the new surface parking lot. On March 4, 1998, the
applicant (Mr. Wallet) informed staff that his architect is preparing conceptual landscape plan renderings which will
be presented at a meeting (to be scheduled by the applicant) with the neighbors to discuss the landscaping issues
as requested by the City Council. As of the writing of this Report, staff has not been made aware of the outcome of
the discussions, to take place between the Latter Day Saint Church's representatives and the neighbors. Mr. Wallet
indicated that he will be submitting a letter informing the Council of their progress. Furthermore, the applicant has
submitted a letter, withdrawing his fee waiver request (which was addressed in the applicant's letter dated February
4, 1998).
Discussion continued on next page...

DISCUSSION, continued:
Page 2
On March 9, 1998, staff received a letter from Mr. Wallet and his architect commenting on Mrs. Eno's proposal to
reconfigure the property in a manner where the parking lot would be in the rear of the lot and the area fronting
Mariposa Avenue would remain as Single - Family Residential (R -1). As a point of clarification, the "concept plan" was
very quickly prepared by staff for Mr. Wallet's benefit so he could visualize the proposal as staff discussed the
information with him on the phone. The "concept plan" was not intended for Mr. Wallet to "handle" in any way. A more
formalized alternate "concept plan ", relatively consistent with staff's rough sketch, was subsequently received from
Mrs. Eno (and is similarly attached). Staff would also like to point out to the Council that the applicant's "Responses
to alternative lot configuration" contain a number of inaccuracies. Staff has purposely not provided an analysis of the
applicant's responses in this Staff Report. However, if the Council wishes to have this information, then staff could
provide it at the public hearing or at a future date.
Additionally, staff would like to clarify to the Council that the layout of the proposed parking lot (including but not limited
to driveway width, turning radius, number of parking spaces), which was included in the Council's packet, is conceptual
gnN and was not reviewed or approved by staff. However, at a point of time, if the proposed amendments are adopted
and development plans are submitted for review and Building Permit issued, the parking lot will be reviewed for
compliance with all appropriate City standards and requirements. Furthermore, it should be noted (in response to
several inquiries since the last City Council meeting) the portion of the original R -1 property that will remain as R -1
zoned property with a single - family residence and two separate garages, was conditioned (through the Lot Line
Adjustment approval) to remove or relocate the driveway located to the west.
On March 9, 1998, Mr. and Mrs. Eno submitted a letter (and a fee) appealing the Planning Commission
recommendation to the City Council to approve the Zone Change (ZC 98 -1) and General Plan Amendment (GPA 98-
1). An appeal of the Planning Commission is heard by the City Council and as the project has already been heard by
the City Council on March 3, 1998, the Council can only approve or deny the project as previously scheduled and
forwarded to them.

WHEREAS, on March 3, 1998, the City Council did hold, pursuant to law, a duly advertised public
hearing on such matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street, and notice of the public
hearing was given in the time, form and manner prescribed by law; and,
WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of
Environmental Assessment EA -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' {deep} x 97.08' {wide) (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.
0005
14. The R -I 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:
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 was 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,
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.
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,
2. The proposed project is consistent with the Objectives, Goals and Policies of the City's Housing
Element.

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

Re: EA 435 - 1215 -1217 East Mariposa Avenue
Dear Mayor Jacobs and Members of the City Council:
It is my understanding that Mrs. Eno,'�#ho opposes the
above referenced matter, is going to propose to the City Council
a reconfiguration of the property. Enclosed is a rough sketch
of Mrs. Eno's proposal which was prepared by Ms. Jester for my
handling.
I have had the Church's architect, Kent Cornwall,
address the many irreconcilable problems with Mrs. Eno's
proposal. Enclosed is Mr. Cornwall's letter to me setting forth
the Church's objections.
Additionally, Mr. Cornwall is preparing renderings of
the proposed landscaping which will provide a "residential"
appearance. We are attempting to arrange a meeting this coming
week with Mr. and Mrs. Eno and other members of the community to
view the renderings.
In any event, we respectfully request that on March 17,
1998, the City Council approve the Zone Change and General Plan
Amendment applications as filed.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Very truly yours,

Subject: LDS CHURCH MEETINGHOUSE - PARKING LOT EXPANSION
gESpgNS TO O ALTERNATIVE LOT CONFIGURATION
ornwall
ssocic_ates
We have reviewed the proposal for added Church parking to be located
cone ubehi nd.
residential properties fronting on Mariposa in a somewhat ,flag- 9
This scheme provides that no parking area will be directly exposead to_ the Mariposa
view. We feel the flag -lot scheme has significant qualitative impact as compared with
the originally proposed rectilinear scheme:
LOSS OF ADDITIONAL PARKING - The entire motivation for the Church in the
acquisition of additional property is to obtain more parking spaces. The church is
currently well over 100 parking spaces deficient to current ordinance. Providing more
on -site parking enlists two significant benefits: 1) There is less impact on the
neighborhood due to habitual street parking, 2) Church patrons (which consist of a high
percentage of families with children and elderly) have less travel and fewer I obstacles
to reach the Church front door. The flag -lot configuration will allow tely 63 spaces.
new spaces verses the rectilinear scheme which provides approximately
Necetive Im °act;
200,6 loss of it's proposed additional on site narking spaces.
2, LOSS OF SITE DEVELOPMENT EFFICIENCY - The original rectilinear scheme (373 sq.
ft. per added parking stall) is more efficient in land use than the flag -lot configuration
(394 sq. ft, per added parking stall). The flag -lot creates extra corners, short bay
lengths and dimensions not compatible with parking space and aisle requirements.
Negative IM10
20 sq, ft, of additional land must be utilized per each additional parking space.
3. LOSS OF 2-WAY DRIVEWAY EAST OF CHURCH - Vehicular egress from the site is
currently by a 200 foot long, narrow, one -way drive. A one -way drive is less than
ideal for function and safety. The rectilinear scheme provides for a two -way,
ingress /egress driveway (which is normally required). The flag -lot configuration
shortens the one -way drive to 120 feet but does nothing for the critical point of flow
onto and off Mariposa.
NoQgtive_ Impact.'
One -way drive with substantial more traffic onto Mariposa.

PI � .
0006f1s
4 ADJACENT NEIGHBOR IMPACT - The original rectilinear scheme places the parking
lot %R -2 zone directly adjacent to one residential neighbor and across .the street from
three residences on the opposite side of Mariposa (separated by a 30 foot landscaped
setback plus a 50 foot wide street). The flag -lot configuration locates the parking
lot/R-2 zone directly adjacent to six residential neighbors and across the street from no
properties. The adjacency to all six residencies is to their backyard which is generally
considered the more private area, more adversely affected by noise and lights from
neighbors.
Nje a� tive ) mpact:
Parking lot is adjacent to 600% more residences and to their private orientation.
5. MORE COMPLEX CON FIGURATION - The flag -lot proposal creates a saw -tooth shape
making for an unusual zone boundary. In our experience it would Ere hard to imagine
the City Planning Department in favor of such a peculiar configuration on a first go
round proposal. This configuration creates property lines that are over 230 lineal feet
longer than the simple rectilinear scheme which will need to be enclo ,ed by a 6 foot
high masonry wall with the associated additional costs.
Neaative Impact:
Higher site improvements cost with nearly 40% more site boundary wall.
6,
REPROCESSING - Changing the scherne will trigger the following with their associated
costs:
■ New architectural schematic design of parking lot,
• New civil engineering, legal description and documentation.
Renegotiation with current and future property owners.
■ Additional site development costs to owner of eastern most Mariposa
property.
■ Renotification and public hearing,
• A residual, minimal size vacant lot.
Negative Impact:
Substantial extra engineering and legal costs, expenditure of resources and time delay.
7. SECURITY - A very serious concern with the flag -lot scheme is that it creates nearly
a half acre of space hidden from public view. Security to Church visitors leaving when
it is dark and to the community with an unsupervised, accessible space is a very real
concern. Any one could drive back to the flag -lot and be completely unseen from
street passers -by, cruising police, etc... for a large portion of the day and through out
the night. The parking lot also gives direct sccess to the backyards of at least six
residences as previously mentioned.
The flag -lot pushes much of the new parking to the farthest point possible from the
Church. This is a regular inconvenience but can more importantly cause a risk to a
00065
single woman or youth or man leaving at night after a late meeting going to a car
parked in an area with obsoletely no public view.
N a_g_ ative Impact:
Serious security concerns with a large, accessible, hidden space.
As an option, the flag -lot configuration provides a change to one factor which may or
may not be considered a significant benefit to the community and more particularly to
one or two neighbors not adjacent to the project. This one factor is obtained by
imposing significant consequences on multiple adjacent neighbors and with arguably
substantial negative repercussions in regard to other valid factors.
We hope this information is beneficial in coming to a conclusion ^'_-regard to the zone
change request, We are available and would be more than happy to discuss particular
issues and information with all parties concerned.
Respectfully,
Kent N. Corn , A.I.A.

98 -1 and Conditional Use Permit
We hereby wish to appeal the decision of the Planning Commission to
approve 3 -1 the above referenced proposal.
We feel it was approved due to lack of opposition from the neighborhood
residents at the Planning Commission Meeting. Approximately 150
residents /owners were notified by the city. We have spoken to
approximately 75 of those residents /owners and have found that greater.
than 80% of those residents are opposed to this proposal (We have
signatures to verify these findings). We have found the surrounding
residents were confused or did not know of the proposed change.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 17, 1998
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Discussion regarding the possible amendment of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - Residential
Sound Insulation Program to allow owner occupied condominium residents to also participate.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Discussion; and,
2) Provide direction to staff.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
Council may recall that both single family and multi - family units are eligible for 80% FAA Residential Sound Insulation
(RSI) grant funds. In Phase 5, the current RSI program phase, one condo unit at 770 West Imperial Avenue is
participating, along with two apartment complexes. Under the City's present CDBG Program, only single family unit
owners are eligible for funds from this secondary, 20 %, source. This proposed initiative would expand CDBG eligibility
to include owner occupied condominium owners for the secondary, 20 %, fund source. If approved, this expansion
of CDBG eligibility will make 20% funds available to low to moderate income families in both single and multi - family
dwellings, providing broader relief to RSI program participants.
At the January 20, 1998 City Council meeting, staff was directed by the Council to investigate the possibility of using
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to assist El Segundo condominium property owners in insulating
their units against airport noise. Currently the CDBG program provides grants to eligible low- and moderate- income
single - family detached homeowners (only) to insulate their homes against airport noise. Presently CDBG funds pay
all or a portion of the homeowner's twenty percent (20 %) share of the program cost. The remaining eighty percent
of the cost is paid by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The maximum grant available under the current
program is $10,000.
Staff recommends the current CDBG RSI Program be amended to include eligible low- and moderate- income, owner
occupied condominium property owners. In addition, staff recommends that the options indicated in bold lettering be
incorporated as part of the program guidelines.
DISCUSSION:
See attached pages.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
Exhibit A - 1998 Eligibility Income Limits for CDBG Funded Projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no General Fund impact as a result of this item. Any funds used should be CDBG monies.

DISCUSSION:
The City of El Segundo annually receives funds from the Los Angeles Urban County's Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program. Through the use of CDBG funds, the City currently operates a Residential Sound Insulation
(RSI) Program which provides grants to eligible low- and moderate income single - family detached homeowners to
insulate their home against airport noise. This grant goes to pay for all or part of the 20% of the property owners' share
of the overall insulation cost. The balance of the cost (80 %) is funded through a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
grant. In an effort to address the noise problems of condominium owners located within the airport Noise Impact Area,
specifically those located at 770 West Imperial Avenue, the City Council directed staff to investigate the possibility of
allowing qualified condominium property owners to participate in the CDBG RSI Program.
At its January 20, 1998 City Council meeting, the Council approved the proposed projects and budget for allocation in
the 1998 -99 CDBG Program year. Based on the final appropriation figures, the City Council approved a budget of
$41,814 towards the 1998 -99 RSI Program. In addition, the City Council directed staff to look into the possibility of
making condominium dwellings eligible for CDBG assistance under the Residential Sound Insulation Program. In
accordance with CDBG regulations, condominium properties are eligible for participation in the RSI Program.
In gathering information for this Report, staff contacted Ms. Barbara Truckenbrod, President of the Pacific Sands Home
Owners Association (HOA), located at 770 West Imperial Avenue. This condominium development contains 100
condominium units and is located within the most affected airport Noise Impact Area (75 +dB CNEL). Based on HOA
meetings and surveys conducted by the HOA, it is estimated that approximately only 50 of the 100 (total) units are owner
occupied. Of those 50 units, approximately 25 of the owner occupied units may qualify under the income limits
established by HUD for CDBG assistance.
In addition to the 770 West Imperial Avenue condominium development, any owner occupied condominium owner within
the Noise Impact Area who meets the program eligibility requirements would be eligible for participation. Based on
current assessor's parcel maps, there are a total of 374 condominium units within the Noise Impact Area, inclusive of
the 100 units located at 770 West Imperial Avenue (see Table - 1). Of the 374 units, 195 units are located within the
+75 dB CNEL area, 51 units are located within the 70 -75 dB CNEL area and 128 units are located within the 65 -70 dB
CNEL area. If the same ratio of qualified household is used as in the 770 West Imperial development, a total of 93
households may be estimated to qualify for participation in the program.

Although the Building Code amendments of 1974 require compliance with maximum noise levels for multi - family
dwellings, this does not guarantee that the dwellings constructed after 1974 meet the requirements. Since the
responsibility of complying with these requirements rests with the architect or engineer who prepared the plans, the City
has no way of determining whether the dwelling actually meets the maximum noise levels. In addition, depending on
the location, orientation and layout of the dwelling, a dwelling that is located within the 75 d6 CNEL area may not require
sound insulation.
Table - 2 provides the City Council with information regarding the average cost to complete the sound insulation
improvements for both single - family and condominium dwellings. The average cost listed in the table is based on the
most recent projects completed under the Residential Sound Insulation Program (Phase 5).

In order to include condominiums in the CDBG RSI Program, the City Council can direct staff to amend the current
Program guidelines and amend the Agreement to Implement a CDBG Project with the Community Development
Commission (CDC). The amendment to the current CDBG RSI Program will require a public hearing and would take
approximately 60 to 90 days to institute.
Below are possible options for the RSI Program. The options for the program have been divided into 6 sections (Budget,
Eligibility, Available Funds, Participation Criteria, Funding Limits and Loan Type and Interest). The City Council can
choose one option from each section or come up with its own preferred option. Staff recommendations have been
noted in bold letters.
In establishing a program that is equitable for all eligible participants, it is recommended that the City Council establish
a budget for each of the two types of units being assisted. If separate budgets are not established, it is possible that
all of the funds will go towards the repair of one type of dwelling thereby excluding the other. In an attempt to assist as
many households as possible, the City can establish a deadline date for submittal of applications. Once the application
deadline has passed, any unencumbered funds from either type of dwelling budget can be transferred to the other.
The options available to the City Council for distribution of the CDBG funds for Residential Sound Insulation include:
1 a. Amend the current CDBG RSI Program to include condominium properties and establish a budget for each type
of dwelling. Funds from either of the two budgets shall not be transferred.
1 b. Amend the current CDBG RSI Program to include condominium properties and establish a budget for each type
of dwelling, i.e., single - family detached and condominium dwellings. Establish a deadline date for application
submittal and use unincumbered funds from either of the two programs to assist applicants in the other.
00075
3
1c. Leave the CDBG RSI Program as is. Do not include condominium dwellings in the RSI Program.
1d. Amend the current CDBG RSI Program to include condominium properties and establish one budget
for both types of dwellings. The awarding of funds shall be conducted in most -to- least- impacted basis
irrelevant of dwelling type.
Prior to the 1997 -98 program year, the CDBG Residential Sound Insulation Program was available only to low- and
moderate income seniors and handicapped individuals. Beginning in the 1997 -98 program year, the program was
opened to all low- and moderate income households. The City Council may choose that condominium owners, eligible
for the RSI Program, must be senior adults (62+ years of age) and /or severely handicapped persons, or, as with the
single - family residences, open the program to all low -and moderate- income (condominium) households. The
'secondary' set of options then include:
2a. Condominium property owners must be low- and moderate income seniors or severely handicapped residents
in order to participate in the program.
2b. Condominium property owners must be low- and moderate income residents in order to participate in
the program.
•. •�
As noted earlier, the City will have a total of $41,814 in funds for use in the CDBG RSI Program for the 1998 -99 program
year. In addition to the 1998 -99 allocation, the City currently has $106,196 in "contingency" funds. These funds are
unexpended funds from previous years which are rolled over into the next budget year for reprogramming. However,
because the City has requested a public service waiver to exceed the fifteen percent (15 %) limit, and there may be some
additional funds needed to supplement current programs that have exceeded the budget, only $40,000 of the
contingency funds can be considered as unencumbered. The City Council may elect to reallocate all or part of the
unencumbered funds to the CDBG RSI Program. Increasing the budget for the CDBG RSI Program would allow for
additional households (single - family and condominium) to be assisted under the program. The options include:
3a. Leave the CDBG RSI budget at $41,814. The funds shall be used in accordance with the priority method
chosen by the Council.
3b. Increase the CDBG RSI Budget by an amount to be determined by the City Council (up to a maximum
of $40,000) using some or all of the CDBG contingency funds.
[*];A 11 Lei M n J-1-Z40"WAII •
Currently the purpose of the CDBG RSI Program is to provide grants to eligible homeowners of single - family detached
dwellings for protection from airport noise. Grants cover all or part of the homeowners 20% portion of the cost of the
improvements. Eighty (80) percent of the cost of home insulation is paid for by the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA). The maximum grant available under the CDBG RSI Program is $10,000.
Current, single family residential participation in the RSI Program is limited to applicants who meet the following
requirements:
Applicants must not exceed the low- and moderate income limits per household as established by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The income limits provide a criterion for eligibility
based on the total amount of annual household income adjusted for household size (see Exhibit - A);
2. The applicant(s) must be the current owner(s) of the property to be rehabilitated;
3. The residence being rehabilitated must be an owner - occupied detached single - family dwelling;
4. The property must be zoned and used for residential purposes and located within the city limits of the City of
EI Segundo; and,
4
00076
5. The property to be rehabilitated must be within the program boundaries established by Federal and State
regulations to include all homes within the 65 dB CNEL noise contour level of the airport.
Eligible improvements through the RSI Program include, but are not limited to, window replacement, door replacement,
attic insulation, roof and wall insulation and attic and crawl space vent replacement.
If the City Council chooses to include condominium property owners in the participation in the CDBG RSI Program, it
is recommended that the same minimum requirements as those imposed on owner - occupied single - family residences
(noted above) be required.
Currently, the method used for selecting participants in the Residential Insulation Program is based on eligibility, degree
of impact, and funding constraints (in that order). This prioritization is done by reviewing all of the applications received,
establishing a pool of applicants who qualify, establishing what properties are the most impacted, and then completing
as many dwellings as can be done with the amount of funds available. The inclusion of condominiums gives additional
options for setting priorities. The possible options include:
4a. Give priority to single - family dwellings then condominiums (only applicable if one budget is established for both
types of dwellings).
4b. Give priority to condominiums then single - family dwellings (only applicable if one budget is established for both
types of dwellings).
4c. Give priority to seniors and handicapped applicants.
4d. Give priority to the residences in most noise impacted areas (highest CNEL noise contour, irrelevant
of type of unit).
OPTION 5 - FUNDING LIMITS
The current CDBG RSI Program provides grants of up to $10,000. Based on the maximum grant available, the average
cost to provide sound insulation to single - family residences in the +75 dB CNEL area, and the amount of funds allocated
for the 1998 -99 CDBG RSI Program, it is possible that the program would only fund a maximum of 4 single - family
dwellings. In trying to provide assistance to as many households as possible, the City Council may choose to reduce
the maximum grant amount for single - family residences and condominiums. The Council may wish to establish a
maximum grant amount at or near the average cost for insulating single - family residences and condominiums as listed
in Table -2 (i.e., $6,500 for single - family residences and $4,000 for condominiums. Using this method, the grant amount
would cover all or most of the cost to insulate a dwelling. An alternative is to establish a maximum grant amount based
on the noise level designation that the property is located in. Once again, the use of Table -1 may be used to establish
the maximum grant amount for each type of dwelling.
5a. Leave the maximum grant amount at its current level ($10,000) for single - family residential and establish the
same level for condominiums.
5b. Modify the program to provide loans only and omit the grant portion of the program. If this option is chosen,
Council is requested to provide maximum and minimum loan amounts for each type of dwelling. $6,500 for
single - family, and $4,000 for multi - family units, is recommended by staff.
5c. Provide a combination grant and loan program. If this option is chosen, Council is requested to provide
maximum and minimum grant and loan amounts for each type of dwelling similar to Table 3.
5d. Establish a new maximum grant level for residential and/or condominium dwellings using a fixed
amount for each type of dwelling. If this option is chosen, Council is requested to provide amounts for
each type of dwelling. $6,500 for single - family, and $4,000 for multi - family units, is recommended by
staff.
5 00077
In addition, the City Council can choose to provide loans, instead of grants, or combine loans and grants to pay for any
portion of the cost which is not funded with FAA funds. The loans can be no interest or low interest loans. The loans
can be deferred until the sale or transfer of title to the property occurs, it can be set up with a balloon payment after 10
years, or repaid in monthly installments. If a loan option is chosen, staff recommends that the minimum loan amount
be established at $5,000. Establishing a minimum is necessary to offset the administrative and escrow costs associated
with the awarding of a loan. If the City Council chooses to provide loans and grants, staff recommends the funding
levels be established as listed on Table 3.

Request for the City Council to review the Zoning Code definitions of Building Height (Section 20.08.185) and Grade
(Section 20.08.435), and make an administrative policy interpretation which confirms the intent of the Planning
Commission to measure the height of a building from all points of the highest point of a flat roof, or the average roof
height of pitched roofs, to the pre- existing grade directly below; whereby the permissible height would be parallel to
the pre - existing grade on the property. Administrative Determination (AD) 98 -1 and 98-4.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Discussion; and,
2) Provide policy direction to staff; and /or,
3) Direct staff to initiate a Zone Text Amendment to reflect the Council's policy; and /or,
4) Other possible action /direction.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On January 22, 1998, the Planning Commission reviewed Administrative Determination (AD) 98 -1, and determined
that the intent of the Planning Commission was to measure building height from pre- existing grade, and not the lowest
grade. The Commission felt that using the lowest pre- existing or finished grade, as currently written in the Zoning
Code, unfairly penalized people who grade lots down (Figure 1). The Planning Commission indicated that their intent
was to limit fill, not limit cuts on lots, as filling a property had the greatest impact on neighboring properties.
Additionally, the Commission clarified that height is measured on a contour plane parallel to the pre- existing grade,
not a horizontal line. This direction lead staff to request additional clarification on how to apply this direction within the
parameters of the existing definition of building height and grade.
On February 26, 1998, the Planning Commission reviewed Administrative Determination (AD) 98-4 to clarify if its' intent
was to permit a structure to be 26 feet in height above the grade at each point on the lot so that as a lot sloped up, a
house could be higher on the upper part of a lot. The Commission confirmed that this concept of "terracing ", as
depicted in Figure 2, which was previously incorporated into the definition of building height, but was deleted when
the new definition of building height was adopted on August 19, 1997, should be utilized in interpreting the definition
of building height.

Administrative Determination (AD) 98-4
City Council Staff Report
March 17,1998
DISCUSSION:
Page 2
As currently written, staff has interpreted the definition of building height to mean that the average height of the highest
gable is determined first (See Figure 3). A plane is then established at this level from which the maximum building
height of 26 feet is measured "directly below" at a 90 degree angle from the established plane, to the existing grade.
When a lot slopes, the effect of this definition is to limit the height of a building on the highest part of the lot because
the controlling factor in the height at the low point of the house which can not exceed 26 feet. Figure 2 demonstrates
how the current definition of height impacts a house which is 26 feet above pre- existing grade at one end of the
building, but the lot slopes up 10 feet toward the other end of the house. The house may only be 16 feet above pre-
existing grade at the other end of the house.
In order to implement the intent of the Commission, staff would have to take a different approach to interpreting the
current definition of building height, that would start from establishing the existing grade and measuring up to the
average of the highest gable above that particular point on the lot (See Figure 4). The example in Figure 4 shows the
height is within the 26 foot limit contour. It should be noted that using this same approach in Figure 2 would mean that
portions of segment 1 and 2 would be above the 26 foot height limit and have to be reduced to comply with the Code.
The advantage of terracing would be that the height of each building segment could be treated separately, and the
heights roof on a building would not necessarily set the level at which height is measured for the whole building.
If the Council concurs with the assessment of the Planning Commission: that all points on the lot directly below each
roof point should be used to measure building height, that the height of terraced building segments should be
considered, and that height should be measured from pre- existing grade; staff will allow projects to move forward
based on the premise in Figure 4. Additionally, the Council may wish to initiate a Zone Text Amendment to revise the
definition of Building Height and Grade to ultimately codify the Council's action.
KBJ * i ll
Section 20.08.185 defines building height as follows:
"Building height " or "Structure height" is the vertical distance measured from all points of the
highest point of a flat roof, the deck line of a mansard roof or to the average height between the plate
and the ridge of gable, pitched, or hip roofs to grade directly below. The ridge of a gable, pitched, or
hipped roof may extend a maximum of six (6) feet above the maximum height limit permitted in the
Zone in which the building is located. (Ordinance No. 1276).
Section 20.08.435 defines grade as follows:
GRADE, PRE - EXISTING GRADE, AND FINISHED GRADE.
"Grade" means the elevation of the surface of the ground of a premises, pre- existing or finished,
whichever is lower in elevation.
"Pre- existing grade" is the ground elevation of a premises which existed prior to the original
construction of the building or structure. Reference to grade on adjacent properties may be utilized
to assist in establishing pre- existing grade when the presence of said grade is not readily apparent
on the subject premises.
"Finished grade" is the elevation that will exist when all cut, fill or improvements associated with a
construction project, including but not limited to, pathways, pavements, hardscape or landscaping,
are complete. (Ordinance No. 1276).

Sancon Engineering, Inc. $55,000.00
Transportable Treatment Services, Inc. $58,000.00

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 17 March 1998
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business - Councilwoman Jane Friedkin
AGENDA DESCRIPTION--.A proposa or application for a o uth Coast it Quality Management
District grant for the funding of a bicycle station at the Nash Street Green Line Station.
RECOMMERDED COUNCIL ACTION'.
1) Discussion; and
2) Direct Staff Accordingly
propose that the ity investigate the posse i ity of acquiring a bike station at the
Mariposa Avenue and Nash Street Green Line Station and recommend Council provide staff with
guidance to solicit support, develop a proposal, and apply for available grant funding. The application
does not commit the City to anything. Should the City be unable to develop its 50% match to the
AQMD grant, the City may simply terminate its application. If the City is successful in developing its
50% match for the project, staff will return to Council to request authority to proceed with grant
acquisition. The deadline for submission of proposals is 24 March 1998.
Early last year, Council directed sta ff to respon tote Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA's) 1997 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Call for
Projects with the City's proposal for a bicycle station at the Nash Street, MTA, Green Line station.
Although the project was approved by MTA, it did not make the funding cutoff line for that program.
The City now has another opportunity to move f ard with t is project proposal. Mr.
Greg Galusha the project manager of Morgan Stanley's holding along the west side of Nash Street
between Mariposa Avenue and El Segundo Boulevard, has indicated strong interest in recruiting local
business support for the project. Don Camph, President of the El Segundo Employers' Association has
previously stated his organization's support of the concept. With in -kind and financial support of the El
Segundo Employers Association, particularly those employers most likely to benefit from the station, the
community should be able to raise its 50% of the project cost.

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business - Councilwoman Jane Friedkin
PAGE 2
111ACKGROM (continued): In September 1990, Assembly Bill 2766 authorized imposition of an
additional motor vehicle registration fee to implement programs to reduce air pollution from motor
vehicles pursuant to air quality management plans and provisions of the California Clean Air Act. The
provisions of the bill stated that the fee would be imposed by non - attainment air pollution control
districts, in our case, the Governing Board of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD).
The Bill provides that 30 cents of every dollar shall be used by the AQMD for programs to reduce air
pollution from motor vehicles and other initiatives in support of the California Clean Air Act; 40 cents of
every dollar to be distributed by the AQMD to cities and counties located in the South Coast District to
be used to reduce motor vehicle air pollution; and 30 cents of each dollar shall be placed in a
discretionary account to be used to implement or monitor programs to reduce motor vehicle air pollution.
The Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) was established to assist the
AQMD in reviewing project funding requests. The MSRC administers a fund of $1,500,000 established
for specific pollution reduction projects including Bicycle Projects, Video Conferencing Projects and Land
Use Strategies. The MSRC is currently soliciting proposals for Bicycle Projects. MSRC projects require
a minimum co- funding contribution of not less than 50% of the total project cost currently estimated at
$400,000.
A bike station may encourage the use of bicycles by providing a secure, enclosed parking facility for
commuting cyclists in conjunction with other bicycle related amenities including a changing room with
lockers, restrooms, and secure bike racks. The Nash /Mariposa site is within a 5 to 10 minute bike ride
of most of the major employers in El Segundo and is approximately 12 minutes from the beach. Please
see the enclosed, Long Beach BIKESTATION brochure for an idea of some of the services and
amenities that can be provided at a bike station. The already developed Long Beach BIKESTATION
appears to be providing an incentive for biking as well as use of public transportation systems.
