FRIENDS OF THE EL SEGUNDO PUBLIC LIBRARY, INC.
111 WEST MARIPOSA AVENUE • EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA 90245
Re: Addressing the El Segundo City Council on Tuesday, May 5th:
To All Council Members:
As President of the Friends of the El Segundo Public Library, Inc., I will be
addressing the Council concerning a joint project between the Friends and the El
Segundo P T A Association.
As you are aware, the recently passed School Bonds will insure funding for the
refurbishing of the present three public schools. In addition, these funds will be sufficient
to re -open the Junior High School on Center street. However, Bond monies cannot be
used for such items as books. This means, that unless funds can be obtained from other
sources, books presently housed in the three school libraries will have to be stretched to
cover the needs of FOUR public school libraries.
I am cognizant that both the Public Library and the El Segundo School District
have budgeted some funding for new books for the school libraries. However, the
approximate cost for a core collection for ONE school library is $25,000.
I have been asked to head a fund- raising effort towards securing sufficient books
for all of the four schools. The El Segundo P T A Association has agreed to join the
Friends in this project that we have named "BUCKS FOR BOOKS ". Both
organizations have set aside some funding and both have volunteers ready to work
towards our goal of $25,000.
On May 5th we want to acquaint you with our "BUCKS FOR BOOKS" project;
the reasons for this joint effort; the amount needed and how we anticipate reaching our
goal. We will = be asking for additional book collection funding. Instead we will be
speaking to you as individuals and community members in the hopes that your response
will be as concerned individuals and community members.

EA- 430 /DA 98 -1
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The proposed project is the construction of a mixed -use development, the Grand Avenue Corporate Center, on
approximately 23 acres of vacant land on the west side of Nash Street, between Mariposa Avenue and El Segundo
Boulevard. The project includes 5 project areas, ranging in size from approximately 3 to 6.6 acres, with two conceptual
(alternative) development plans, designated (by the applicant) as Plan A and Plan B. Plan A includes approximately 1.15
million square feet of office, research and development, and hotel (200 room) uses, with ancillary restaurant, retail,
service, and other uses. Plan B includes approximately 732,892 square feet of office, research and development, day
care, and hotel (1 -150 room and 1 -200 room) uses, plus a sports training and recreational facility, all with ancillary uses
similar to Plan A. Proposed development varies from 1 to 6 stories in height with F.A.R.s ranging from approximately
0.42:1 to 1.48:1. The site is designated in the City's General Plan and zoned as Urban Mixed -Use North (MU -N). The
following two project applications have been submitted for Council Review:
1) Development Agreement 98 -1 (DA 98 -11 - An 8 -year agreement to allow flexibility in the Zoning Code
development standards, such as allowing the Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.), landscaping, setbacks, and other
standards to be exceeded on individual parcels, although it is anticipated that cumulatively the entire project will
meet the Zoning development requirements.
2) Environmental Assessment 430 (EA 430) California Environmental Duality Act (CEQA) - A Mitigated
Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is proposed for this project pursuant to the requirements of
CEQA. The public review and comment period for the Environmental Document extended from March 3, 1998
to April 1, 1998, and the agency review period ended on April 3, 1998.
The Development Agreement, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analysis (Mitigated Negative
Declaration) for the Development Agreement require review and recommendation of the Planning Commission and final
action by the City Council. The Public Hearing for this item was originally noticed for the April 21, 1998 City Council
meeting, in anticipation that the Planning Commission would take action on the project on April 9, 1998. The Planning
Commission did not take final action on their recommendation until April 23, 1998. Therefore, Council was not able to
act on the request, and staff recommended a continuance. At the April 23, 1998 Planning Commission Public Hearing
the Planning Commission adopted Resolution Nos. 2413 and 2416 recommending to the City Council approval of the
Development Agreement and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the Development
Agreement.
In addition, on April 23rd, the Commission also finished its review and took action on the Conditional Use Permit
application for the sports training /recreational facility, the Parking Demand Study for the sports training /recreational
facility, hotels and loading zones, the subdivision (Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 52427 to split the land into up to 8
lots, the Administrative Use Permit to allow alcohol sales at the restaurants in the hotels and sports training /recreational
facility as well as the in -room hotel self- service "bars" and the Mitigated Negative Declaration, in accordance with CEQA,
for the entire project. The Planning Commission actions on all of these above - mentioned applications will be final if no
appeal is filed by Monday, May 4, 1998. If no appeal is filed then the City Council will not review and take action on these
applications; only the Development Agreement and the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Development Agreement
requires City Council action. As of the writing of this report no appeal of any of the Planning Commission actions had
been submitted.
As an additional point of information, a separate item related to the ABC Licenses for alcohol sales for the project is listed
under the Consent Agenda. This item requires that the City Council determine whether or not it protests the issuance
of the new ABC Licenses, in accordance with ABC Regulations.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant has requested several discretionary approvals from the City of El Segundo. The Planning Commission
took action on several of these (CEQA, Subdivision, C.U.P., P.D.S., and A.U.P.), as discussed above, on April 23, 1998.
It also recommended to the City Council approval of the Development Agreement, and the CEQA for the Development
Agreement (Mitigated Negative Declaration). The requests are discussed briefly below. Required findings for each
action is provided to the City Council in the (attached) Ordinance and Resolution.
00 n13
May 5, 1998
EA- 430 /DA 98 -1
Development Agreement 98 -1 (DA 98-11
The proposed Development Agreement is similar to those previously approved for the Mattel, Continental Development
Corporation, and Continental Grand Plaza sites. An 8 -year agreement is proposed to allow flexibility in the Zoning Code
development standards, such as allowing the Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.), landscaping, setbacks, and other standards to
be exceeded on individual Project Areas, although it is anticipated that cumulatively the entire project will meet the Zoning
Code requirements.
Proposed DA 98 -1 significant features include the following:
1. The agreement assures that a mixed land use development will occur on the project site and within each Project
Area. DA 98 -1 requires the project applicant to develop a variety of office, hotel and /or sports
training /recreational, and support retail and ancillary uses on the Project Site.
2. Development phasing is provided to assure that the proposed project will contribute a positive net annual
revenue to the City of El Segundo. DA 98 -1 requires construction of a hotel or substitute uses that will provide
positive net annual revenues for the City.
3. DA 98 -1 provides for the payment of traffic and air quality mitigation fees in a manner that is most beneficial to
the City of El Segundo.
4. The Development Agreement requires the project to meet the City's recreational standards through a variety of
recreational uses. The agreement provides for an "overall recreation program" of uses. However, it requires
that should major facilities be closed, the City's overall recreational standards will be met.
DA 98 -1 provides for site specific development standards that allow the applicant the flexibility to enhance the
site plan. At the same time, DA 98 -1 provides development standards that are reflective of City standards and
sound planning practices.
Development Agreement Findings
City staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council make the Findings outlined below relative to
the proposed Development Agreement. Each Finding is contained in Ordinance Number , and is supported by
substantial evidence as noted in the Ordinance.
1. The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the
General Plan and any applicable Specific Plan;
2. The project is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use
district in which the real property is located;
3. The project is in conformity with the public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice;
4. The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety, and general welfare; and,
5. The project will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property
values.
Environmental Assessment 430 (EA 430) California Environmental Duality Act (CEQA):
A Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is proposed for this project pursuant to the requirements of
CEQA. The public review and comment period for the Environmental Document extended from March 3, 1998 to April
1, 1998 and the agency review extended through April 3, 1998. The following responds to comments received at the
Planning Commission Public Hearings.
Air Qualityfrraffic Mitigation Options
The recommended conditions of approval for the project provide for the mitigation of all project- specific and cumulative
air quality and traffic impacts. There are several alternative methods to mitigate project impacts available for selection
by the City of El Segundo. The "Grand Avenue Corporate Center Traffic /Air Quality Option Matrix" (Matrix) previously
distributed provides seven (7) alternatives that mitigate all project- specific and cumulative air quality and traffic impacts
to an insignificant level, in accordance with CEQA requirements.
C.0'14
May 5, 1998
EA- 430 /DA 98 -1
Project traffic impacts can be mitigated through traditional improvements to the City's circulation system. The Matrix was
developed by City staff and consultants, in conjunction with the applicant and its representatives, to explore alternative
methods to mitigate project air quality impacts. It was determined that project air quality impacts can also be mitigated
through traditional mitigations. These include circulation systems improvements (localized and corridor - level),
functional /operations improvements, and miscellaneous credits /options.
The approval of the project as recommended by the Planning Commission and City staff, includes the approval of
Traffic /Air Quality Option 1. Approval of Traffic /Air Quality Option 1 will provide for the mitigation of all air quality and
traffic impacts with no corridor (Sepulveda or El Segundo Boulevard) improvements or Adaptive Traffic Control System
(ATCS). Traffic /Air Quality Option 1 provides for "localized improvements" and "miscellaneous credits /options." With
the approval of the attached Resolution for the Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Ordinance for the Development
Agreement, the City Council will have reviewed, recommended, and approved Traffic /Air Quality Options 1 through 7 in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). However, the applicant will be required to install
Option 1. Should, at a later date, it become necessary to pursue Traffic /Air Quality Options 2 through 7 for any reason,
Planning Commission and City Council review and approval would be necessary prior to their implementation.
CE0A Findings
Based on the information contained in the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, and Response to Comments,
it is the informed opinion of the Planning Commission and staff that the City Council should make the Finding outlined
below. The CEQA Findings are contained in the attached City Council Resolution and supported by substantial evidence
as noted in the Resolution. A copy of the Mitigation Monitoring Program was previously distributed for review and
consideration.
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 Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact was
prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUND09
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. DA 98 -1 FOR
THE GRAND AVENUE CORPORATE CENTER AND ADOPTING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF
WHEREAS, the project applicant, MS Vickers II, LLC ( "Owner "), owns certain real
property, 23.03 acres in size, generally located along the west side of Nash Street between
Mariposa Avenue and El Segundo Boulevard (the "Property "), in the City of El Segundo
( "City ") . The Property is bounded on the north by Mariposa Avenue, on the east by Nash
Street and on the south by El Segundo Boulevard. The Property is bisected by Grand Avenue,
which provides east -west access between Continental Boulevard and Nash Street; and
WHEREAS, the Owner proposes to develop a mixed -use project on the Property
known as the Grand Avenue Corporate Center ( "Project "). The Project entails two
alternative conceptual designs, Plan `A' and Plan `B.' In general, the primary differences
are that Plan `A' has about 1.15 million square feet of development as compared to about
730,000 square feet in Plan `B.' Plan `A' contemplates about 1.06 million square feet of
office - related uses and a 200 -room hotel. Plan `B' has less office space (about 461,000
square feet), but a second hotel (of 150 rooms) and a sports training /recreation facility (of
120,000 square feet); and
WHEREAS, the Property is located in the Urban Mixed Use -North Zone ( "MU -N
Zone "). The MU -N Zone provides for development of a mixture of compatible commercial,
office, research and development, retail and hotel uses; and
WHEREAS, in connection with development of the Project, the Owner submitted
applications for approval of Environmental Assessment No. EA -430; Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 52427 (Subdivision 98 -1); Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 98 -2; Parking Demand
Study No. 98 -1; and Development Agreement No. DA 98 -1 (hereinafter referred to as the
"Development Agreement ")(collectively, the "Project Approvals "); and
WHEREAS, an Initial Study was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA "), Cal Public Resources Code Section 21000
et sea. The Initial Study demonstrated that the Project, with the implementation of certain
mitigation measures, would not cause any significant environmental impacts. Accordingly,
1 mora
00010
a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( "MND ") encompassing all of the Project Approvals was
prepared. As more particularly described in the MND, the Project will not cause any
significant environmental impacts given, among other things, its design and mitigation
measures; and
WHEREAS, a Notice of Intent to issue a MND was prepared on March 3, 1998. The
Notice of Preparation concerning the MND was posted by the Clerk for the County of Los
Angeles on March 4, 1998. The MND was submitted to the California Office of Planning and
Research on March 4, 1998. The MND, including the Initial Study, was circulated for public
review and comment on March 4, 1998. Copies of the MND were mailed to all potential
responsible agencies, trustee agencies, neighboring cities and interested parties. Notice of the
MND was also mailed to all interested parties. The 30 -day comment period for the MND
ended on April 3, 1998; and
WHEREAS, on March 26, and April 9 and 23,1998, the City's Planning Commission
( "Commission ") held duly noticed public hearings to consider the Project Approvals,
including The Development Agreement, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main

Mitigated Negative Declaration documents, applications, Staff Reports, minutes, and all
other file documents, were established; and
WHEREAS, on April 23, 1998, the Commission adopted Resolution Nos. 2413 and
2416 recommending to the City Council approval of a Development Agreement and a
Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the Development Agreement;
and
WHEREAS, on April 21 and May 5, 1998, the City Council held duly noticed public
hearings to consider the Project Approvals and the MND in the Council Chamber of the City
Hall, 350 Main Street, and notice of the hearings 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
Project Approvals; and
2 mord
0010 1 7
WHEREAS, at said hearings the facts as contained within the projects Initial Study
and Mitigated Negative Declaration documents, applications, Staff Reports, minutes, and all
other file documents, were established.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that after considering the above referenced
facts; the Project Approvals and the information contained therein; the Initial Study and the
MND; and the testimony and other evidence offered at the public hearings, the City Council
approves Development Agreement No. 98 -1 and makes the following findings in support
thereof:
1. General Findings
(a) Reliance on Record. Each and all of the findings and determinations
contained herein are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written,
contained in the entire record relating to the Project. The findings and determinations
constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Council in all respects and are
fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
(b) Nature of Findings. Any finding made by the Council shall be deemed made,
regardless of where it appears in this document. All of the language included in this
document constitutes findings by the Council, whether or not any particular sentence or
clause includes a statement to that effect. The Council intends that these findings be
considered as an integrated whole and, whether or not any part of these findings fail to cross -
reference or incorporate by reference any other part of these findings, that any finding
required or committed to be made by the Council with respect to any particular subject matter
of the Project shall be deemed to be made, if it appears in any portion of these findings.
(c) Jinitations. The Council's analysis and evaluation of the Project is based on
the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a Project that
absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the Project will not exist. One of
the major limitations on analysis of the Project is the Council's lack of knowledge of future
events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions.
Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect
regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political
framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
(d) Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings to
follow are based on the evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any
such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.
3 mora
8
(e) Mitigation Measures. These findings are based on the various
mitigation measures to be required in the implementation of the Project as recommended by
the MND or identified by the MND as already having been incorporated into the Project.
The Council is hereby adopting and incorporating into the implementation of the Project
those mitigation measures recommended in the MND. The Council finds that all the
mitigation measures now incorporated into the Project are desirable and feasible. Certain
mitigation measures, such as those involving traffic, air quality and storm water discharge,
are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies such as Caltrans and
the Los Angeles County Sanitation District, and therefore will require additional approvals
from those agencies.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above referenced
facts; the Project Approvals and the information contained therein; the Initial Study and the
MND; and the testimony and other evidence offered at the public hearing, the Council adopts
the MND (EA -430) for the Development Agreement and makes the following findings in
support thereof:
1. General Findings
(a) Reliance on Record: Each and all of the findings and determinations
contained herein are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written,
contained in the entire record relating to the Project. The findings and determinations
constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Council in all respects and are
fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
(b) Nature of Findings: Any finding made by the Council shall be deemed made,
regardless of where it appears in this document. All of the language included in this
document constitutes findings by the Council, whether or not any particular sentence or
clause includes a statement to that effect. The Council intends that these findings be
considered as an integrated whole and, whether or not any part of these findings fail to cross -
reference or incorporate by reference any other part of these findings, that any finding
required or committed to be made by the Council with respect to any particular subject matter
of the Project shall be deemed to be made, if it appears in any portion of these findings.
(c) I,imi_tations: The Council's analysis and evaluation of the Project is based on
the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a Project that
absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the Project will not exist. One of
the major limitations on analysis of the Project is the Council's lack of knowledge of future
events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions.
Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect
regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political
framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
(d) Summaries of Information: All summaries of information in the findings to
3 mreso
00028
follow are based on the evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any
such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.
Cross - references to the MND and other evidence have been made where helpful, and
reference should be made directly to the MND and other evidence in the record for more
precise information regarding the facts on which any summary is based.
(e) Adoption of Mitigation Measures: These findings are based on the various
mitigation measures to be required in the implementation of the Project as recommended by
the MND or identified by the MND as already having been incorporated into the Project.
The Council is hereby adopting and incorporating into the implementation of the Project
those mitigation measures recommended in the MND. The Council finds that all the
mitigation measures now incorporated into the Project are desirable and feasible. Certain
mitigation measures, such as those involving traffic, air quality and storm water discharge,
are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies such as Caltrans and
the Los Angeles County Sanitation District, and therefore will require additional approvals
from those agencies.
(f) Specific and General Mitigation: The MND generally identifies, for each
potentially significant impact of the Project, one or more corresponding mitigation measures
to reduce such impact to a level of insignificance. The Council finds that many of the
mitigation measures described in the MND may lessen or avoid impacts in impact categories
other than the category(ies)for which they are specifically proposed. In light of the above,
the Council finds that each potentially significant impact identified by the MND is mitigated
by its corresponding mitigation measures to the extent set forth in the MND ( "specific
mitigation") and by other, non - corresponding mitigation measures adopted by the
("general mitigation"). These
Commission that were already incorporated into the Project (g g
findings shall be applicable wherever supported by the evidence in the record regardless of
whether a specific finding of an instance of such general mitigation is made
/ � �� �•� •� ��• 17,E
(a) Finding Regarding Independent Judgment (Pub. Res. Code § 21082.1)
The Council has independently reviewed and analyzed the MND prepared for
the Project. This MND is an accurate and complete statement of the potential environmental
impacts of the Project. The MND reflects the independent judgment of the Commission.
(b) Finding Regarding Location And Custodian Of Agency's Record (14 CCR
15074(c))
4 mreso
00029
The record on which the Council's findings are based is located at the
Department of Planning and Building Safety, City of El Segundo, 350 Main Street, El
Segundo, California 90245. The custodian of the record is the Director of Planning and
Building Safety.
(c) Finding Of No Substantial Evidence That Project May Have Significant
Effect On The Environment (Pub. Res. Code §§ 21080(c), 21083(b); 14
CCR 15065(c), 15074(b)))
The Initial Study identifies potentially significant effects of the Project on the
environment. However, as to each of these effects, revisions in the Project made and/or
agreed to by the applicant before the MND and Initial Study were released for public review
would avoid or mitigate such effect to a point where clearly no significant effect on the
environment would occur. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record
before the Council, including, but not limited to the Initial Study, the MND and all comments
received, that the Project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment.
Because the incremental impacts of the Project as revised are not potentially significant, such
impacts are not "considerable" for purposes of CEQA, whether viewed in isolation or in
conjunction with the impacts of past projects, other current projects, and probable future
projects.
(d) Findings As To Individual Environmental Impact Categories
Where a mitigated negative declaration is adopted, CEQA does not require the
lead agency to make specific findings as to individual environmental impact categories.
Nonetheless, the Council makes the following specific findings:
(1) Geology.
The Property consists of approximately 23 acres of unimproved, relatively level
land. Therefore, in order to construct the proposed improvements, minor clearing and
grubbing will be required. Due to the prior use of the site for oil and gas production, the
existence of any oil and gas line(s) will be confirmed with the oil and gas companies prior
to any demolition work. The soils report indicates methane has been detected at depths of
approximately 10 feet to 70 feet. Although it is most likely of natural origin, the exact source
and migration pathway are not known. Accordingly, Mitigation Measure 2 (MM2) requires
excavation to be limited to a depth of 10'. As a result, Chevron, the prior owner of the
Property, has attached several deed restrictions to address the problem, which includes the
clause that no grading shall occur below ten feet (10') from the existing grade.
5 ceseso
00130
The Project will impact existing topographic conditions. Mitigation Measure
1(MM 1) requires that grading in preparation for the construction of the proposed project will
be minimal, and will be limited to final level for drainage and soil compaction of building
pads. On -site grading will result in a balance of cut and fill with no removal or importation
of soil from the site. Mitigation Measure 3 (MM3) requires that any excess soil volumes be
used in berming for landscaping purposes within the site. Significant changes to topography
have been mitigated to a less than significant level.
There are potential construction hazards arising from the Project. (See
subsection (2), below.)
The site is located within the seismically active Southern California region;
therefore, occupants of the Project will be subject to similar seismic risks as other
commercial developments of a comparable employment volumes and structure size which
are located in the vicinity of the site. No known geologic features exist on the site, and no
known active or potentially active faults are located on or near the subject property. The risk
of surface rupture due to faulting is considered remote, as is the potential for ground failure
or other seismic hazards. The potential for landslides and mudslides is non - existent due to
the level topography of the site and vicinity.
Change in the type of soils is not anticipated. Existing site conditions consist
of soils interbedded with mixtures of sand, silt, and clay with silty sand and sand being the
predominant soil types. The fine grained soils encountered in the borings, clayey silty, sandy
clay, and silty clay are stiff to very stiff. Existing site conditions coupled with minimal
movement of soils in support of the proposed project, are expected to result in little if any
change to the earth or soils at the proposed project site. The resulting potential for impacts
is negligible.
The minimum depth of excavations for building footings must be determined
by the soils and structural engineer. Mitigation Measure 4 (MM4) provides that a site
specific Soils Report will be prepared and submitted to the City for review and approval. It
is anticipated that this report will identify specific structural recommendations based on the
construction variables for each building. Implementation of MM4 will ensure that geological
and soil related hazards are minimized to less than significant levels.
Development of the Project will fully comply with all applicable City building
guidelines, restrictions, and permit requirements. With the incorporation of measures MM1
through MM4, development of the proposed project will have a less than significant impact
on topography and soils, and will not expose people or property to significant geologic
hazards.

(2) Air Quality.
The Project will generate dust and fumes and will impact air quality in general.
However, with the incorporation of the following mitigation measure, the level of dust,
fumes, and impacts on air quality will be less than significant impact. The Project will not
produce significant changes in ash, smoke, or odors in the vicinity, and will not cause any
significant alterations in the air movements, moisture and air temperature.
Long term emissions from post - construction occupancy of the Project could
result in regional contributions of criteria pollutants which may cumulatively be linked to air
odors and fumes. Similarly, mobile sources such as auto exhausts, and stationary sources
such as gas heaters, may indirectly generate fumes.
Mitigation Measure 5 (MM5) requires that project design features shall be
incorporated to offset project - related emission. Total daily regional emissions of carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, reactive organic compounds, sulfur oxides, and particulate matter
resulting from development and occupancy of the site by the Project will not have a
significant adverse impact on air quality, since individual pollutant emissions are below the
SCAQMD's significance thresholds.
During the Project's construction phase, short -term emissions of fugitive dust
from grading activities, and exhaust emissions from the construction equipment may result
in some amount of criteria pollutants. However, even under worst case assumptions, project
construction activities will be below the SCAQMD's applicable thresholds. Project
construction activities will not have a significant short term impact on air quality.
Construction and subsequent occupancy of the Project will not create, or
significantly worsen, an existing accedence of any air pollution standard in the local area or
the region with the implementation of mitigation measures which shall be required by the
City. Project development will not result in a significant impact upon air quality within the
South Coast Air Basin and will also be consistent with all regional, State and Federal air
quality regulations.
(3) Water.
The 23 -acre Project site is essentially unimproved level land. Ground water
quality is unknown. No impervious surfaces exist on -site (e.g., paved surfaces, buildings,
etc.), with the exception of some perimeter public sidewalks.
On -site surface water run -off is influenced by the natural topography of the
mreso
000,2)C
Project site which drains in a west to east direction towards Nash Street. Surface flows
which are not absorbed on -site, drain off -site onto adjacent surface streets and eventually to
storm drains outletting into the Pacific Ocean. Because the site has a substantial area of
exposed soils, existing run -off conditions may be accompanied by soil erosion.
Once developed, exposed soils on the project site will be covered by pavement,
buildings or landscaping. Therefore, the potential for soil erosion at the project site will be
greatly reduced. Mitigation Measure 6 (MM6) requires that pavement on -site shall be
maintained to prevent soil erosion. All cracks will be repaired on a regular basis and any
debris will be removed. With the incorporation of the proposed MM6, erosional problems
will have less than significant impact.
Development of the Project will introduce urban contaminants (e.g., tire wear
residue, oil and grease, fertilizers, etc.) to the site, thereby potentially resulting in long -term
degradation of on -site surface water run -off and ground water quality. Mitigation Measure
7 (MM7) requires on -site surface drainage be directed to existing storm drains. With the
incorporation of MM7, and the estimation that the storm drain capacity is adequate to serve
the site subsequent to project implementation, the degradation of on -site surface water run-
off and ground water quality will have a less than significant impact.
While ocean waters will be affected by the site's urban run -off, changes in
ocean water quality are considered to be insignificant. To mitigate the project from on -site
urban run -off, the Project will comply with all appropriate City of El Segundo Urban Run -off
Pollution Prevention Controls as stated in Mitigation Measure 8 (MM8). As a contributor
to the City's drainage system, this project is required by Mitigation Measures 9 through 12
(MM9, MM 10, MM 11 and MM 12) to implement measures on -site to improve the quality of
the run -off.
Proposed improvements (e.g., buildings, surface parking lots, etc.) will reduce
the amount of pervious surfaces presently located on -site, changing existing absorption rates
and drainage patterns. Existing City storm drain facilities can be found in Nash Street and
Mariposa Avenue. Proposed on -site improvements as stated in MM8 and MM12, will
include flood control and water quality facilities. The flood control facilities include grated
inlets, storm drains, and roof drains. In addition, all onsite drainage will outlet through curb
drains or driveways. Proposed landscaped areas will continue to permit some surface water
absorption. Given the decrease in imperviousness, drainage volumes will increase, and
surface water run -off generated by the project site will continue to be collected by storm
drains located along Nash Street, El Segundo Boulevard, Grand Avenue and Mariposa
Avenue and directed via culverts to the Pacific Ocean.

The Project is located in the jurisdiction of the County of Los Angeles
Department of Public Works and is subject to any policies and regulations set forth by the
County's Stormwater Discharge Program. Mitigation Measure 13 (MM13) requires that the
Project will comply with permit requirements of the Los Angeles County Department of
Public Works for Los Angeles County Flood Control District. With the incorporation of the
proposed MM 13, flooding occurrences will have a less than significant impact on the project
site.
Storm water run -off from paved areas and the roofs of proposed structures is
anticipated as a result of the Project. The storm water run -off will be collected by the
drainage system designed for the site and will enter the storm drain at the connection point.
The Project falls under the jurisdiction of the County of Los Angeles and is
required to submit a permit application, prior to construction to the Los Angeles County
Department of Public Works for the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. Mitigation
Measure 14 (MM14) provides that the drainage system shall be designed using the necessary
hydraulic/hydrology and structural calculations required for permitting by the Los Angeles
County Department of Public Works, and that the Project's drainage system will be
constructed in compliance with all regulations and specifications.
Mitigation Measure 15 (MM15) provides that all on -site development shall be
consistent with a Hydrology/Drainage Study and the finalized Site Plan, to be approved by
the City. Implementation of MM15 will ensure that any minor project modifications or
Project Area specific development is constructed to meet engineering specifications and
reduce impacts to less than significant levels.
Currently there are no reclaimed water pipelines down Nash Street. Mitigation
Measure 16 (MM16) requires that the Applicant extend the reclaimed water pipeline
infrastructure to the furthest applicable extension of the Project site necessary to
accommodate utilization of reclaimed water for project landscape irrigation. The Applicant
shall install a dual water system to accommodate the use of reclaimed water for landscaping
on -site. With the incorporation of the proposed MM 16, water availability for public use will
have a less than significant impact.
The Project is not anticipated to significantly affect water availability as
development of the Project site is consistent with regional growth forecasts which
contemplated long -term water needs for the southern California region.
The development of the Project represents a continuing expansion of growth
throughout the region. The growth is consistent with predicted regional growth trends.
9 cc.reSo
00034
Incremental increases in effects to ocean or ground water quality, absorption rates, drainage
patterns, surface run -off water, or water availability with the incorporation of MM6 through
MM16, are less than a significant impact.
(4) Biological Resources.
The Project site is located within a highly urbanized environment. No known
rare or endangered plant species are associated with the Project site or within the immediate
vicinity. Only a limited number of plant species can be found on -site, none of which is
considered rare or endangered.
Landscaping is currently located along the site's eastern (Nash Street) and
southern (El Segundo Boulevard) boundaries, as well as along the western perimeter of the
property. Development of the Project will include additional landscaping consisting of plant
species which readily adapt to urban environments and drought tolerant plant species when
feasible. Development of the Project will not introduce or affect rare or endangered plant
species (including trees, shrubs, grass, crops, and micro flora) in the Project vicinity. No
mitigation is required.
The Project site and immediate locale are not known to contain any rare or
endangered animal species. Since the Project site is located within a highly developed urban
area, the potential for animal life on -site is limited and includes species that have adapted to
such environments.
As a result of the pond on the Project site, a number of migratory and non -
migratory birds were observed during a site visit. However, it is not anticipated that these
species, or others, use the site as nesting habitat given the disturbed site conditions. As a
matter of caution, Mitigation Measure 17 (MM17) has been provided to reduce the potential
impact to a less than significant level by providing that a qualified biological monitor inspect
the site prior to grading to report the status of any migratory birds found on -site.
Several red fox tracks were observed on Project Area 2. The field investigation
concluded that the site is used strictly for hunting purposes since no burrows are found on
the property. It is anticipated that construction activities and the removal of the pond will
result in the abandonment of the area by the red fox. The elimination of the red fox from the
site is not considered a significant impact by regulatory agencies.
The Project will not produce significant impacts to the number of rare or
endangered species or specimens in the site vicinity, nor will it result in significant changes
in the diversity of species, reduction in numbers, or deterioration of valuable animal habitats.

00:035
There is no substantial evidence before the City that the Project will cause adverse effects,
whether individually or cumulatively, on wildlife resources.
(5) Noise.
No noise sensitive receptors have been identified in the immediate vicinity of
the Project site. Uses surrounding the site consist of commercial, office and hotel uses which
are generally not considered to be sensitive to noise or vibration. Traffic along Sepulveda
Boulevard, LAX and related air traffic are the predominant noise generators in the site area.
The Project will have a short -term and long -term noise impact.
Noise and vibration effects on the surrounding land uses were analyzed for
both short-term construction activities and long -term operation of the Project. Construction
activities will be ongoing and intermittent for a two (2) to five (5) year period during
permitted hours only, as established by City regulations. Vibration attributable to
construction activities will be minimal due to the type of construction equipment generally
employed for a project of this nature.
No notable stationary noise sources will be associated with the operation of the
Project. The types of activities and facilities proposed on the Project site are not be expected
to generate objectionable vibration that might be noticeable at any adjoining property line.
Due to limited noise and vibration anticipated with construction and operation of the Project
on a long -term basis, and due to the noise levels along Sepulveda Boulevard obscuring short-
term construction noise, no significant impacts from noise or vibration will occur, and no
mitigation is required.
Project - related traffic will contribute toward increased ambient noise levels.
Project traffic traveling along regional freeways will incrementally add to freeway - related
traffic noise within the region. However, the volume of project related traffic relative to
background freeway traffic flow will result in imperceptible noise level increases along
freeways. Project - related traffic along local arterials leading to the Project site will increase
noise levels in the vicinity of Project. However, the immediate vicinity does not have any
sensitive receptors which will be affected. Project - related traffic noise will be less than
significant and no mitigation is required.
(6) Aesthetics.
Development in the Project vicinity consists of low to medium -scale (i.e., one
to six story) commercial office structures, which operate approximately 12 to 24 hours per
day. These structures provide nighttime lighting for advertising, safety and security purposes.
11 Mres0
00036
No proposed sensitive uses (i.e., schools, churches, hospitals, etc.) are located within the
immediate vicinity of the Project site.
The Project site is currently void of light and glare sources. Development of
the Project will introduce new lighting to the area. The lighting requirement of the Project
will be comparable to, and requires that it be compatible with, the lighting conditions created
by other established surrounding uses. The Project will not significantly alter the character
of nighttime illumination of the area. Mitigation Measure 18 (MM 18) has been provided to
minimize off -site illumination by the Project. The measure requires that lighting fixtures will
be designed to direct the light downward, internal to the Project site. Mitigation Measure 19
(MM19) requires the Project use non - reflective building materials. This measure will
minimize the potential for reflective glare surfaces of the Project. With the incorporation of
MM 19 and MM 19, potential impacts related to light and glare have been reduced to a less
than significant levels.
While there are no sensitive uses within the vicinity of the Project site
currently, proposed hotel uses provided in both Conceptual Plans A and B represent a
potential sensitive receptor to extreme nighttime illumination conditions. Specifically, a
hotel use in Project Area 5 is vulnerable to nuisance nighttime illumination from the adjacent
MTA Green Line station or other adjacent uses which may require lighting in the nighttime
hours. Nighttime illumination concerns to the hotel would be considered significant if the
building design allows substantial errant lighting to be directed so as to be a disturbance to
guests during the night.
However, Mitigation Measure 20 (MM20) provides that the Project lighting
and building design will be implemented in such a way that it will minimize potential errant
nighttime glare and illumination to sensitive uses on -site and adjacent uses. Mitigation
Measure 21 (MM21) provides that building design and landscaping be implemented in such
a way that will minimize potential nighttime glare impacts to project hotel uses, or other
potentially sensitive uses, from adjacent sources. Identification of such features will be
determined upon finalization of development plans. With the incorporation of MM20 and
MM21, the potential nighttime illumination impacts have been reduced to a less than
significant level.
Mitigation Measure 22 (MM22) requires that any outdoor lighting design will
conform with any Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements with respect to
operation of LAX. This mitigation will ensure that potential impacts to air operations are
less than significant.

(7) band Use and Planning.
The Project is consistent with the City's General Plan and the zoning
designation for the Property as more fully described in Finding No. 2 and 3 in Resolution No.
2414, which is hereby incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
The City of El Segundo Code provides development standards and regulations
which relate to the setback, landscaping, parking, etc., provisions for proposed development.
As required in Mitigation Measure 28 (MM28), unless otherwise noted in the approved
Development Agreement or through other specific mitigation, the Project shall comply with
the City of El Segundo Building and Zone Code. Compliance with MM28 will ensure that
impacts related to zoning are less than significant.
Current development surrounding the Project site consists of commercial
structures which include office buildings, business parks, hotels, restaurants and light
industry, ranging from one to seven stories in height. The Project is consistent in character,
and, therefore, compatible, with the use profile and general scale of surrounding uses and
structures. Therefore, no impacts are noted in this regard, and no specific mitigation is
required.
The Project is compatible with the existing development in the general area of
the site and is consistent with the City of El Segundo General Plan. Mitigation measures 23
through 27 (MM23 -MM27) have been provided to reduce any potential impacts related to
changes in pattern, scale, or character of existing development in the Project vicinity, and
potential conflicts with the City General Plan and Zoning to a less than significant level.
Development and operation of the Project Conceptual Plans `A' or `B' office
buildings, hotel, ancillary uses, and restaurant will result in the consumption of renewable
and non - renewable natural resources in the form of building materials during construction,
and domestic water and fossil fuels during project operation. These increases are consistent
with levels experienced by other similar development and are within growth expectations for
the Southern California region. Consumption is relatively insignificant in the context of
cumulative consumption volumes.
Existing supplies and infrastructure are adequate to meet project demands,
through the City of El Segundo Water and Wastewater Division. (See subsection (14),
below.) The Project will comply with all applicable statutes and regulations set forth in the
City of El Segundo Building Code as provided in Mitigation Measure 28 (MM28), and all
13 cc.re'°
00038
applicable State resource conservation measures as provided in Mitigation Measure 27
(MM27). The Project site was historically used for petroleum extraction, and all on -site wells
have been capped. (See subsection (16), below.)
The Project will have an impact on the use, extraction, and conservation of
water. Mitigation Measure 29 (MM29) has been provided to reduce this impact to a less than
significant level.
(9) Hazards.
The Project will utilize common cleaning solutions which will be disposed of
in accordance with applicable statutes. The use of these materials is considered an increase
over existing circumstances. The amount to be used represents a marginal increase and is
considered insignificant.
The potential land uses proposed for Project Areas 1 through 4 will utilize
comparable amounts of hazardous materials, due to similarity in size of structures and need
for these materials. In addition, the hotel and restaurant use on Project Area 5 (and the hotel
use on Project Area 1 in Plan `B') may purchase potentially hazardous household materials
in bulk quantities and store them on -site. However, based on the amount stored, the nature
of the packaging, the materials involved, and the Project's compliance with applicable
regulations, the risk from these land uses is considered minor. Use and storage of explosives
are not expected with the construction or operation of any of the proposed land uses. The
Project will have a less than significant impact regarding the use, disposal, or release of
potentially hazardous materials.
The Project site is accessible to emergency vehicles from all borders. Based
on project - generated traffic volumes; no unmitigatable traffic impacts are foreseen with
development of the Project. Mitigation Measure 31 (MM31) requires evacuation plans and
procedures be incorporated into building design. With the incorporation of Mitigation
Measure 30 (MM30), the Project is not expected to interfere with emergency response or
evacuation plans.
Previous uses of the Project site generate some concern for exposure of project
occupants to hazardous conditions potentially associated with the site in its undeveloped
state. (See subsection (16), below.)

(10) Population and Housing.
All residences in the City are located west of Sepulveda Boulevard, while non-
residential uses are located predominantly to the east. The Project site is within the non-
residential area, and is surrounded by commercial, office, light industrial and hotel uses.
Development of the Project is consistent with surrounding uses and the City's General Plan.
The Project will not alter the expected distribution of population. The Project does not
propose any residential land uses, and will not directly generate permanent population growth
in the City.
The Project will bring new employment to the area, and hence, will
incrementally add to the City's daytime population. The City's permanent population may
increase due to employees who relocate. However, the increase in permanent population
from employees relocating to the area will be limited, and any such increase will be expected
to be absorbed within the normal turnover of dwellings with the City. The Project will not
create a significant impact on the location, distribution, density or growth rate of the human
population.
The Project will not involve the development of any residential land uses, nor
will it involve demolition of any residential units. The Project will not have a direct impact
on housing in the City. While a small percent of employees may chose to relocate, the
demand for housing is anticipated to be met by existing housing stock. The number of
employees potentially relocating to the City can be expected to be limited and less than
significant when compared to the entire permanent population of the City. The Project is not
expected to produce significant impacts on the demand for additional housing.
(11) Transportation and Circulation.
Two traffic impact studies were done to evaluate existing traffic patterns and
the potential impacts anticipated by the Project. A comparison trip generation was performed
for each of the potential land uses for Project Areas 1 through 5 to determine a worst -case
scenario of traffic impacts for both Conceptual Plans `A' and V.
Following guidelines set forth by the City of El Segundo Planning and Traffic
Engineering staff and the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP), the
traffic study examined eighteen (18) key intersections.
With regard to Conceptual Plan `A', the traffic studies show that at full
buildout, this plan will not adversely affect the level of service ( "LOS ") at 12 of the 18
intersections. As to the remaining six intersections, LOS impacts will be reduced by means
15 mreso
00040
of Mitigation Measure 31 (MM31), which requires an air quality /traffic mitigation package
and provides a range of mitigation options. These options include the addition of one lane
in each direction on a portion of Sepulveda Boulevard, new left turn lanes at the intersection
of Sepulveda Boulevard and Grand Avenue, and installation of a Traffic Signal Coordination
System along a section of El Segundo Boulevard. Implementation of this mitigation
package will ensure that traffic- related impacts are reduced to less than significant levels.
With regard to Conceptual Plan `B', the traffic studies show that at full
buildout, this plan will not adversely affect LOS at 13 of the 18 intersections. As to the
remaining five intersections, LOS impacts will be reduced by means of Mitigation Measure
31 (MM31), which requires an air quality/traffic mitigation package and provides a range of
mitigation options. Among other items, these options include the installation of a Traffic
Signal Coordination System along a section of El Segundo Boulevard and a Transportation
Demand Management program comprised of ridematching, car pool, and/or public
transportation use programs and incentives. Implementation of this mitigation package will
ensure that traffic - related impacts are reduced to less than significant levels.
Pursuant to the County's Congestion Management Plan ( "CMP "), the traffic
studies included a preliminary Congestion Credit and Debit analysis. The Project was
evaluated separately under Conceptual Plans `A' and V. The preliminary analysis
demonstrates that for either plan, anticipated CMP Credits will fully offset anticipated CMP
Debits. Therefore, as proposed, both Conceptual Plans `A' and `B' will be fully consistent
with the CMP. Since minor Project modifications are anticipated, implementation of
Mitigation Measure 32 (MM32), which provides that a CMP credit/debit analysis be
completed to reflect the final Site Plan, will ensure that impacts related to the CMP are less
than significant.
Parking for the Project will be provided by surface parking lots or
combinations of above -grade structured parking garages and surface lots, on an individual
parcel basis. Each of the development areas will provide its own parking, sufficient to meet
its own individual needs. Mitigation Measure 33 (MM33) provides that adequate parking
shall be provided and in accordance with City requirements. Accordingly, impacts related
to parking will be minimized as the Site Plan is finalized.
Non - vehicular circulation is anticipated to be limited primarily to walking for
exercise, pedestrian access to transit and bicyclist circulation. Streets within the immediate
area are established with cross walks, pedestrian light signals and sidewalks. Increased
hazards to pedestrians and bicyclists are not anticipated. As provided in Mitigation Measure
34 (MM34), the Project will include a program and design features for pedestrian and bicycle
access (i.e., pedestrian access to MTA Green Line stations; bike racks and paths; and
16 mreso
00 ,041
showers for bicyclists and storage lockers).
Development on Project Areas 1 through 5 will not entail generation of or
alteration to rail, water, or air traffic. All Project Areas will function adequately with
dependence on vehicular traffic circulation alone. While LAX is located approximately one
mile to the north of the Project site, proposed development will not interfere with flight
patterns, nor will it generate significant air travel demand. Increased use of the MTA Green
Line is anticipated to result from the development of this facility adjacent to two of its
stations, but this increase use is not considered significant. Impacts to rail, water, and air
traffic are considered less than significant.
Mitigation Measure 35 (MM35) provides that all development shall be in
accordance with the approved Development Agreement and Implementation Plan to further
ensure that impacts to existing traffic patterns, traffic volumes, parking facilities, hazards to
pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and other vehicular, rail, air or water traffic are reduced to less
than significant levels.
(12) Public Services.
Police and fire protection services to the Project site are provided by the City
of El Segundo Police and Fire Departments. Water and park services are also operated by
the City of El Segundo. Sewer demands for the Project will be accommodated by the Los
Angeles County Sanitation District's sewer lines and will be treated at the Joint Water
Pollution and Control Plant in Carson. School services in this area of the City of El Segundo
(east of Sepulveda Boulevard) are provided by the Centinela Valley School District. The
City includes four school libraries and the El Segundo Public Library. Development of the
Project will generate additional demands for municipal services beyond current site demand.
The City of El Segundo Fire Department generally finds that office commercial
projects will not significantly impact fire services, provided all applicable regulations and
criteria are incorporated into building design plans as stated in Mitigation Measure 37
(MM37). Adequate water conveyance systems and supplies within the area further reduce
fire protection service concerns. A Mitigation Service Fee of fourteen cents per square foot
($0.14 /sq.ft) is required as stated in Mitigation Measure 38 (MM38) to offset service demand
impacts to fire department facilities in the City. Such payment is adequate mitigation to
reduce service related impacts to less than significant levels.
While the Project may generate additional demands on police services, most
effects can be mitigated to a less than significant level by incorporating security lighting and
hardware into building design plans as stated in Mitigation Measure 39 (MM39). A
17 Ce.reso
0 01,42
Mitigation Service Fee of eleven cents per square foot ($0.11 /sq.ft.) is required as stated in
Mitigation Measure 40 (MM40) to off -set service demand impacts to police department
facilities in the City. Such payment is adequate mitigation to reduce service related impacts
to less than significant levels.
Water and sewer lines serving the Project site are available and have the
capacity to meet the demands of the Project. (See subsection (14), below.) With the
incorporation of Mitigation Measures 41 and 42 (MM41 and MM42) which address water
use reduction and wastewater generation reduction, service related impacts on water and
wastewater agencies will be reduced to less than significant levels.
As no residential uses are proposed with the Project, no direct significant
impacts are expected on local schools, libraries, parks, or recreational facilities. However,
limited demands on such facilities may be generated by Project employees and patrons of the
Project hotel(s) who seek facilities nearby. Such utilization is not anticipated to be
significant. Nonetheless, a Mitigation Service Fee of three cents per square foot
($0.03 /sq.ft.) is required as stated in Mitigation Measure 36 (MM36) to offset impacts to
library facilities in the City. Such payment is adequate mitigation to reduce service related
impacts to less than significant levels.
A Fiscal Impact Analysis was prepared to consider the Project's fiscal impact
on the City, and in particular the resulting revenue generation and municipal service cost
burden. The analysis concludes that the Project, under Conceptual Plan `A', will generate
a positive fiscal impact for the City of approximately $2,698,000 by the year 2006, after
consideration of City municipal service costs. Under Conceptual Plan `B', the Project will
generate a cumulative positive fiscal impact for the City of approximately $6,757,600 by the
year 2006, after consideration of City municipal service costs.
Development of the Project is expected to result in expenses to the City for the
provision of municipal services. These will be offset by the revenues generated for the City
by the Project over the long term beyond full buildout and occupancy after the year 2006.
The combined results of project design features and long -term revenue generation will result
in less than significant effects to City utilities and services. No specific mitigation measures
are required.
In conclusion, the Project will not significantly impact municipal services
(police, fire, water, school, sewage, parks, or public facilities) which will serve the Project.
Incorporation of Mitigation Measures 36 through 42 (MM36 -MM42) will reduce public
service related impacts to less than significant levels.

(13) Recreation.
No public parks or recreational facilities are located within the immediate
vicinity of the Project site. Demands on parks and recreational facilities are primarily
generated by permanent residential populations. The Project is not expected to significantly
alter the existing residential population. No residential development is proposed, and the
dominant land uses for the Project will attract a patron and local employee population that
is not expected to create a significant impact upon recreational facilities.
The Project will provide recreational amenities as required by the El Segundo
Recreational Standards for office uses. In addition to promoting bicycle use for
transportation to and from the site (which is done under both Conceptual Plans `A' and 'B'),
Conceptual Plan `A' will include a croquet court (Project Area 3), putting green (location to
be determined), two half basketball courts (one each in Project Areas 3 and 4), and a
perimeter jogging /walking trail to be dispersed among the five Project Areas. Under
Conceptual Plan `B', the sport training /recreation center will serve to meet the requirements
of the El Segundo Recreational Standards as a community serving recreational use. The
proposed sports training /recreational facility will provide two ice rinks, a full -size basketball
court and an in -line skating arena. Picnic areas will be provided under both Conceptual Plan
`A' and Conceptual Plan 'B'.
The phasing and implementation requirements for the provision of on -site
recreational amenities will be detailed in the approved Development Agreement and
Implementation Plan. Mitigation Measures 43 and 44 (MM43 and MM44) provide that
development of on -site recreational facilities will be in accordance with the approved
Development Agreement and Implementation Plan, therefore ensuring that recreational
impacts are less than significant.
(14) Utilities and Service Systems.
The Project site is located within an established urbanized environment. As
most of the surrounding properties are developed, utility infrastructure is in place; however,
site - direct utility connections will be necessary. Existing utility infrastructure beneath Nash
Street, Grand Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard and Mariposa Avenue includes electricity,
natural gas, telephone, cable television, water, sewer, and storm drain lines. Utility services
will be provided by the appropriate purveyors, including: Southern California Edison
Company, The Gas Company, Pacific Bell, Time Warner, the City of El Segundo Water and
Wastewater Division, and the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. The Applicant will
coordinate with each of these agencies to ensure that adequate capacity to serve the Project
office buildings and hotel and restaurant uses is provided.
19 CC.ICso
00 n44
Since the existing site is vacant and underutilized, all five Project Areas will
require water, sewer, and waste disposal services not currently utilized. The Applicant will
coordinate with the City of El Segundo Water and Wastewater Division and the Los Angeles
County Sanitation Districts to ensure that existing supplies, infrastructure, and/or capacity
are adequate to meet these additional demands.
Existing County of Los Angeles sewer facilities are located in Nash Street,
Grand Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard, and Mariposa Avenue. Adequate capacity is
available in the existing system to accommodate the peak demands generated by the proposed
development. Under Mitigation Measure 45 (MM45), written commitment from the Los
Angeles County Sanitation District or an equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to
issuance of a building permit. If any off -site upgrades are required, due to changes in the
proposed peak demands, the upgrades shall be provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy. Further, sewer connection charges and fees will be assessed based upon the
building square footage and land use, as provided in Mitigation Measure 46 (MM46).
Payment of such fees will offset wastewater service impacts.
Existing City of El Segundo water facilities are located in Nash Street, Grand
Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard, and Mariposa Avenue. Adequate capacity is available in
the existing water and reclaimed water systems to accommodate the peak demands generated
by the Project. Under Mitigation Measure 47 (MM47), written commitment from the City
of El Segundo or an equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to issuance of a building
permit. If any off -site upgrades are required due to changes in the proposed peak demands,
the upgrades shall be provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Mitigation Measure 48 (MM48) requires separate services for potable and fire
water systems and provides standards for such systems.
Mitigation Measure 49 (MM49) requires use of reclaimed water for landscape
irrigation purposes. This should reduce the public water use to a less than significant level.
Mitigation Measure 50 (MM50) provides for water meter installation fees
based upon the applicable meter size. As provided in Mitigation Measure 50 (MM50), the
Applicant shall pay the appropriate water meter installation fees. Payment of such fees will
offset water service impacts.
Telephone service is available to the site through Pacific Bell. Pacific Bell has
existing facilities in Nash Street, Grand Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard, and Mariposa
Avenue. Existing facilities will have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed
development. Under Mitigation Measure 51 (MM51), written commitment from Pacific Bell
20 cc.reso
00045
or an equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit. If any off -
site upgrades are required due to changes in the proposed peak demands, the upgrades shall
be provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Further, Mitigation Measure 52
(MM52) requires that the developer provide the conduit trench and point of entry to the site
while Pacific Bell installs the cable to the point of entry at no cost to the developer. All
additional on -site improvements shall be provided by the developer. If the existing facilities
serve adjacent properties, the services shall require location.
Natural Gas service to the site will be provided by The Gas Company. Gas
mains exist in Nash Street, Grand Avenue, and El Segundo Boulevard. Existing facilities
will have adequate capacity to accommodate peak demands generated by the proposed
development. Under Mitigation Measure 53 (MM53), written commitment from The Gas
Company or an equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit.
If any off -site upgrades are required due to changes in the proposed peak demands, the
upgrades shall be provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Electrical service to the site is provided by Southern California Edison.
Existing power service is located in Nash Street, Grand Avenue, and El Segundo Boulevard.
Existing facilities should have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development.
Under Mitigation Measure 54 (MM54), written commitment from Southern California
Edison or an equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit. If
any off -site upgrades are required due to changes in the proposed peak demands, the
upgrades shall be provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Cable television service is provided by Time Warner in this portion of the City.
Existing cable service is located in Mariposa Avenue. Prior to the cable company beginning
any work, a service agreement between the developer and cable company is required.
Existing facilities will have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development.
Under Mitigation Measure 55 (MM55), written commitment from Time Warner or an
equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit. If any off -site
upgrades are required due to changes in the proposed peak demands, the upgrades shall be
provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
In addition to the respective service provisions outlined for each utility provider
above, Mitigation Measure 56 (MM56) provides that the developer encourage a high quality,
efficient and sustainable development through the incorporation and utilization of the best
and most cost - effective electrical, natural gas, communications, sewage handling, water
conservation and solid waste disposal equipment and systems.
Incorporation of Mitigation Measures 45 through 56 (MM45 through MM56)
21 mirso
00046
will minimize impacts to utilities and services to a less than significant level.
(15) Energy and Mineral Resources: Fossil Fuels.
Operation of the Project will consume fossil fuels in the form of electricity and
natural gas. However, consumption of these resources is expected to be marginal and will
be considered insignificant relative to annual consumption volumes throughout the City and
the LAX area as a whole. All of the potential land uses proposed for all five Project Areas
will be expected to consume fossil fuels at comparable rates due to similarities in size and
scale of structures, and will be considered insignificant.
With the deregulation of energy service providers, the Applicant will seek a
service provider for natural gas and electricity which can provide adequate service at a
reasonable cost. The Project, as required by Mitigation Measure 57 (MM57) will comply
with all applicable statutes and regulations set forth by the respective energy companies, in
addition to all applicable State energy conservation measures. The Project is not expected to
result in significant increases in fossil fuel consumption. Implementation of MM57 will
ensure energy and fossil fuel related impacts are less than significant.
(16) Hazards: Methane Emissions, Seismics, and Contaminated Soils.
The Project site was originally used for the production of oil and natural gas
(methane) until the 1950s, at which time the Chevron refinery, located one -half mile to the
southwest, used the site for temporary storage of excess liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in
addition to oil and natural gas production. All wells were reportedly abandoned by 1989 and
cleared of remaining wellheads and pipe ends by October 1997.
Concentrations of methane have been detected at depths of approximately 70
to 80 feet in a sand unit between two clay layers. Methane has also been detected, at
generally lower concentrations, at depths of approximately 10 to 70 feet. Particularly high
methane concentrations occur in the area to the southwest of the intersection of Nash Street
and Grand Avenue. The Project site is currently cleared and fenced.
Because of the nature of previous activities on -site, and the measurable
remnant of methane underlying the site, Chevron has identified specific development
conditions which will enhance the safe reutilization of this property. These measures include
installation of vapor barriers, venting systems, hydrocarbon sensors with alarms, limitations
on structure height and type, and limitations on excavation depth.
As to the abandoned oil well sites themselves, under state and local regulations,
prior to the release of building permits for construction on such sites, there must be analysis
22 mreso
0004 7
by a state - registered geologist or engineer, review by the city, and development of protective
systems such as vapor barriers, venting, and hydrocarbon alarms. In particular, any
excavation done on Project Area 2 for the purposes of construction or utilities installation
should be evaluated and appropriate steps taken to preclude the re- opening of capped wells
or significant release or collection of methane during those activities.
If all structures comply with the regulatory requirements for protective systems,
as well as the Chevron recommendations, the potential for risk of upset related to the
underlying methane will be less than significant.
Because the Project is located within the seismically active southern California
region, the occupants of the Project will be exposed to seismic risks which are similar to
those of occupants of other structures of comparable size and scale in the surrounding area.
However, no active or potentially active faults are found on or near the Project site and
therefore potential hazards from ground failure, surface rupture, and other seismic hazards
are considered less than significant.
In 1996, Environmental Site Assessments were performed on the site, and
concluded that the site does not pose an environmental risk from contaminated soils.
Consequently, the Project will not create a significant health hazard or expose people to
significant potential health hazards, and no mitigation is required.
With incorporation of the appropriate construction and development guidelines
as required by Mitigation Measure 58 (MM58), potential concerns related to hazardous
conditions associated with the previous petroleum activity of the site, will be mitigated to a
less than significant level. Further, Mitigation Measure 59 (MM59) provides that adequate
gas venting and monitoring systems will be installed and perpetuated during the lifetime of
the Project to mitigate any possible worker exposure to releases of methane or other related
emissions. Compliance with this measure shall be verified by the City of El Segundo
Department of Planning and Building Safety prior to issuance of Occupancy Permit.
(17) Aesthetics: Views.
The Project site is not part of, nor adjacent to, a designated scenic view, vista
or corridor. It is located within an MU -N land use zone and is surrounded by one to seven -
story office /commercial structures, and is bounded by two streets neither of which is
designated as a scenic road.
The Project will be two to six stories in height and of similar character to
adjacent structures. The Project will not block scenic views or vistas from these surrounding
commercial uses. Additionally, development of the Project will create a positive visual
image due to consistent site landscaping and design. The Project will not significantly change
23 mreso
Q0g48
scenic views or vistas from existing office /commercial areas, public lands or roads, nor will
it change existing light and shadow patterns. No mitigation is required.
(18) Cultural Resources.
No historic structures exist on -site. Similarly, there are no known prehistoric
sites or objects associated with the property or located within the immediate vicinity. The
Project site was once used for agriculture and later was part of a Chevron oil field. Owing
to the nature of these operations, the site is expected to have been heavily disturbed, with
little likelihood of objects of cultural or religious significance having survived. No cultural,
religious, or sacred uses or activities of importance to any particular segment of the general
population are known to be associated with the Project site or locale.
Based on the above information, the potential for significant impacts to historic
or prehistoric sites, structures, or objects is considered remote. The abandoned oil wells and
any associated unused underground pipelines that still exist on -site will not be disturbed as
a result of project construction. Further archaeological studies are not necessary, and
preservation efforts are not required as a part of project implementation. None of the
potential land uses proposed for the Project site is expected to produce significant impacts
upon, or result in the alteration or destruction of, any historic or prehistoric site, building,
structure, or object, nor will any result in physical changes which will affect ethnic cultural
values or restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the vicinity. No mitigation is
required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council
hereby adopts the MND (EA -430) for Development Agreement No. DA 98 -1 subject to the
following conditions and mitigation measures:
1. The conditions described in Attachment "A" hereto.

payments shall be made for a period of 10 years from
the date of occupancy of the second main office
building on the Project Site. The $50,000.00 amount
referenced in this paragraph shall be adjusted by the
Consumer Price Index commencing January 1, 2000. If at
any time the Developer desires to terminate its
obligation hereunder, the Developer may elect to make a
Jump sum payment to the City of $50,000.00 for each

( ,,0�,).i 5
year of the ten year term which has not been satisfied
net present value at six percent (6%) over the
remaining term. Furthermore, the construction of said
hotel, recreational /sports training facility, or
substitute use(s) shall begin on or before the issuance
of a building permit for any third office Main Building
beyond 325,000 square feet of net floor area.
7. Acknowledgments, A reements and Assurances on the
Part of the Developer. The parties acknowledge and agree that
Developer's faithful performance in developing the Project on the
Site and in constructing and installing public improvements,
making payments and complying with the Applicable Rules will
fulfill substantial public needs. The City acknowledges and
agrees that there is good and valuable consideration to the City
resulting from developer's assurances and faithful performance
thereof and that same is in balance with the benefits conferred
by the City on the Project and the Developer by this Agreement as
more particularly described in this Section below. The parties
further acknowledge and agree that the exchanged consideration
hereunder is fair, just and reasonable. Developer acknowledges
that the consideration is reasonably related to the type and
extent of the impacts of the Project on the community and the
Site, and further acknowledges that said consideration is neces-
sary to mitigate the direct and indirect impacts caused by the
development of the Project.
In consideration of the foregoing and the City's
assurances set out in Section 8 below, Developer hereby agrees as
follows:
In lieu of dedication of a portion of the Site for public
use as required by the AARP (as defined in Section 27 of this
Agreement), the Developer shall pay to the City an amount equal
to the value of one acre of the Site's land for use to repair,
restore and /or improve fire and public safety facilities located
within or adjacent to the Project Site. Said payment shall be
made to the City by the Developer prior to the issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for the Site's third Main Building. If
the parties fail to agree on the value of one acre of such land,
the parties shall jointly appoint an independent appraiser to
conclusively determine such value. The Developer and the City
shall cooperate in good faith to reach such agreements as may be
0007,
mutually beneficial to coordinate development of such fire and
public safety facility improvements with the development of the
Project Site.
8. Acknowledgements, Agreements and Assurances on the
Part of the City. In order to effectuate the provisions of this
Agreement, and in consideration for the Developer to obligate
itself to carry out the covenants and conditions set forth in the
preceding Section 7 of this Agreement, the City hereby agrees and
assures Developer that Developer will be permitted to carry out
and complete the development of the Project within the Site,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
conditions of the Project Approvals and the Applicable Rules.
Therefore, the City hereby agrees and acknowledges that:
(a) Entitlement to Develop. The Developer is hereby
granted the vested right to develop the Project on the
Site to the extent and in the manner provided in this
Agreement, subject to the Applicable Rules and, should
the City make the findings set forth below in this
subparagraph (a), any Subsequent Applicable Rules. Any
change in the Applicable Rules, including, without
limitation, any change in the General Plan, any appli-
cable specific plan, Zoning ordinance, growth manage-
ment regulations, design standards or any subdivision
regulation of the City, adopted or becoming effective
after the Effective Date, shall not be applied by the
City to the Project on the Site. Subsequent Applicable
Rules can be applied to the Site by the City only if,
after public hearing, (1) the City determines that the
failure of the City to apply Subsequent Applicable
Rules will place residents of the City in a condition
substantially dangerous to their health or safety,
which condition cannot otherwise be mitigated in a
reasonable manner and (2) it is applied consistently
and evenly to all other similar developments in the
City. Subsequent applicable rules with regard to
increases in existing permit fees imposed by the City
(i.e., fees intended to cover the City's processing
costs) and not otherwise restricted by the terms of
this Agreement, may, notwithstanding the above, be
imposed on Developer.

�M
In the event that a state or federal law or regulation is
enacted after this Agreement has been entered into, which
would prevent or preclude compliance with one or more
provisions of the Agreement, such provisions of the
Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be
necessary to comply with such state or federal law or
regulation.
(i) Traffic Mitigation Fee /Traffic /Air Quality
Option Matrix. The Developer's traffic impact
mitigation fee, as required by the City's Traffic
Mitigation Fee Resolution, shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the estimated costs for those
Localized Improvements identified in the Grand
Avenue Corporate Center Traffic /Air Quality Option
Matrix included in the Project's Initial Study as
approved by the City, and as constructed by the
Developer.
Any excess transportation - related credits from any
individual Project Area may be applied by the
Developer against Traffic Impact Mitigation Fees for
future Project Areas.
The traffic mitigation fees paid by the Developer
may be used as air quality credits to mitigate the
project's air quality impacts if: (a) the fees are
used by the City to install traffic or other
improvements which improve air quality and the
contracts for the improvements have been fully
executed, prior to the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy for the Project Area which requires air
quality mitigation; and (b) the Developer
demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Departments
of Planning and Building Safety and Public Works
that said traffic improvements installed by the
City, or the Developer, mitigate air quality
impacts. All options on the Grand Avenue Corporate
Center Traffic /Air Quality Option Matrix are
approved, however, if the Developer desires to
install any of Options 2 through 7, it shall require
subsequent review and approval of the Planning
Commission and City Council as noticed public
hearings.
io

(b) Subsequent Discretionary Actions. With respect to
any Discretionary Action or Discretionary Approval that
is, or may be required subsequent to the execution of
this Agreement, the City agrees that it will not unrea-
sonably withhold from Developer or unreasonably condi-
tion or delay any such Discretionary Action or Discre-
tionary Approval which must be issued by the City in
order for the development of the Project Site to pro-
ceed unless the City determines that (1) the failure to
impose such condition would place residents of the City
in a condition substantially dangerous to their health
or safety, which condition cannot otherwise be mitigat-
ed in a reasonable manner and (2) such condition is
applied consistently and evenly to all other similar
developments in the City.
Moreover, in the event that a state or federal law or
regulation is enacted after this Agreement has been
entered into, which would prevent or preclude
compliance with one or more provisions of the
Agreement, such provisions of the Agreement shall be
modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply
with such state or federal law or regulation.
9. Cooperation and Implementation. The City agrees
that it will cooperate with Developer to the fullest extent
reasonable and feasible to implement this Agreement. Upon
satisfactory performance by Developer of all required preliminary
conditions, actions and payments, the City will commence and in a
timely manner proceed to complete all steps necessary for the
implementation of this Agreement and the development of the
Project or Site in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Developer shall, in a timely manner, provide the City with all
documents, plans, and other information necessary for the City to
carry out its obligations under this Agreement.
10. Review of Compliance.
(a) Periodic Review. The City Manager of the City
shall review this Agreement annually, on or before the
anniversary of the Effective Date, in accordance with
the procedure and standards set forth in this Agreement
and the E1 Segundo Municipal Code in order to ascertain
compliance by the Developer with the terms of this
ISO
0 0')70
Agreement.
(b) Special Review. The City Council of the City may
order a special review of compliance with this Agree-
ment at any time but not to exceed twice per year. The
Director of Planning and Building Safety or the City
Council, as determined by the City Council, shall
conduct such special reviews.
(c) Procedure. During either a periodic review or a
special review, the Developer shall be required to
demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms of
this Agreement. The burden of proof on this issue
shall be on the Developer. The parties acknowledge
that failure by the Developer to demonstrate good faith
compliance shall constitute grounds for termination or
modification of this Agreement in accordance with
Government Code § 65865.1.
(d) Cure of Default. If, on the basis of review of
this Agreement, the Director of Planning and Building
Safety concludes that the Developer has not complied in
good faith with the terms of this Agreement, then the
Director of Planning and Building Safety may issue a
written "Notice of Non - compliance" specifying the
grounds therefor and all facts demonstrating such non-
compliance. After receipt of said Notice, the
Developer shall, within thirty (30) days, indicate to
the City in writing the method for curing the alleged
non - compliance. The Developer's failure to cure the
alleged non - compliance within 120 days after receipt
of said notice (or, if not susceptible to being cured
in such time, then Developer's failure during such time
to commence such cure, and thereafter to diligently
pursue such cure to completion), shall constitute a
default under this Agreement, subject to possible
termination of the Agreement as provided below. Upon
completion of a periodic review or a special review,
the Director of Planning and Building Safety shall
submit a report to the City Council setting forth the
evidence concerning good faith compliance by the
Developer with the terms of this Agreement and the
recommended finding on that issue.

C,O"� F 0'
11. Proceedings Upon Termination. If the City
determines to proceed with termination of this Agreement, the
City shall give written notice to the Developer of its intention
to terminate this Agreement and comply with the notice and public
hearing requirements of Government Code §§ 65868 and 65867. At
the time and place set for the hearing on termination, the
Developer shall be given an opportunity to be heard. If the City
Council finds, based upon substantial evidence, that the Develop-
er has not reasonably complied in good faith with the terms or
conditions of this Agreement, the City Council may modify or
terminate this Agreement.
12. Modification Amendment or Cancellation. Subject
to the notice and hearing requirements of Section 65867 of the
Government Code, this Agreement may be modified or amended from
time to time by mutual consent of the parties or their successors
in interest in accordance with the provisions of the E1 Segundo
Code and Section 65868 of the Government Code.
13. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall become
operative and commence upon the Effective Date and shall remain
in effect for a term of eight (8) years, unless said term is
terminated, modified, or extended by circumstance set forth in
this Agreement or by mutual consent of the parties hereto.
Following the expiration of said term, this Agreement shall be
deemed terminated and of no further force and effect; provided,
such termination shall not automatically affect any right of the
City or Developer arising from City approvals on the Project Site
prior to the expiration of the term or arising from the duties of
the parties as prescribed in this Agreement.
14. Remedies For Default. It is acknowledged by the
Parties that the City would not have entered into this Agreement
if it were to have unlimited liability and damages under this
Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement, or the application
thereof. The Parties agree and recognize that, as a practical
matter, it will not be possible physically, financially, and as a
matter of land use planning, to restore the Site to its prior
state once the construction is commenced. Moreover, Developer
has invested a considerable amount of time and financial resourc-
es in planning the time, location, intensity of use, improvements
and structures for the development of the Project Site.
13
OOn'oa
For these reasons, the Parties agree that it will not
be possible to determine an amount of monetary damages which
would adequately compensate the parties. Therefore, the Parties
agree that monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for
either party should the other fail to perform its duties under
this Agreement. The Developer's remedies under this Agreement
shall be limited to the right to specifically enforce the terms
of this Agreement. The City's remedies under this Agreement
shall also include the right to specifically enforce the terms of
this Agreement. In addition to specific performance, if the
Developer fails to make any payment or complete any other act or
performance specified in this Agreement in a reasonable manner,
the Developer shall have no further right or entitlement to any
building permits or certificates of occupancy for any portion of
the Site until the default has been cured in accordance with due
process and as provided in this Agreement. The Parties recognize
that this section may result in the limitation or cessation of
the rights otherwise conferred by this Agreement upon the Devel-
oper, including any of the Developer's successors, assigns,
transferees, or other persons or entities acquiring title to or
otherwise acquiring an interest in the Project or any portion
thereof.
15. Administration of Agreement and Resolution of
Disputes. All decisions by the City staff concerning the inter-
pretation and administration of this Agreement and the Project
which is the subject hereof are appealable to the City Council
and all like decisions by the City Council shall be final.
However, decisions of the City Council shall also be subject to
judicial review pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section
1094.5. so long as such action is filed in a court of competent
jurisdiction not later than 90 days following the date on which
the City's decision becomes final pursuant to Code of Civil
Procedure Section 1094.6.

civil commotion, fire, acts of God, or other circumstances which

proved by the City, or with the ability of either party to
perform its obligations under this Agreement, and which are not
due to actions of Developer and are beyond its reasonable con-
trol, the parties agree to bargain in good faith to modify such
obligations to achieve the goals and preserve the original intent
of this Agreement.
20. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by a
duly authorized representative of the Party against whom enforce-
ment of a waiver is sought.

Chairman Crowley presented EA- 430 /Subdivision 98/1 Conditional Use Permit 98 -2/ EA -430
Parking Demand Study 98 -1 /Administrative Use Permit 98 -4 and Development
Agreement 98 -1. Applicant: MS Vickers H, LLC - (Mr. Greg Galusha for Morgan
Stanley Real Estate Fund, Inc.) Address: 151 -555 North Nash Street.
Ms. Jester presented the Staff Report as outlined in the Agenda Packet.
Director
Bernard stated he had received additional (corrected) information from the Police
Department which indicated that the City's ordinance on juvenile curfews may not be
constitutionally correct and is currently proposed to be modified. Currently the curfew
ordinance is not enforced within the City. The Police Department has reviewed the
security of this proposal and feels confident that it can handle any disturbances that may
occur.
Chairman Crowley opened the public hearing. PUBLIC
COMMENTS
Greg Galusha, MS Vickers
This is a large project with many issues. They have come back tonight with many
additional conditions. They would like to make a presentation of their master landscape
plan. They believe this project will exemplify the intentions of a Mixed Use Plan Zone.
Calvin Abe, Landscape Architect on Project
The intent of the Landscape Master Plan is to establish a strong framework. It can
establish consistency, a common theme, a relationship between Project Areas so there's
a strong opportunity to tie the whole project together. They were originally concerned
about the length of the site. They utilized parcels lines as opportunities to plant tall,
evergreen vertical trees. To the west, they are proposing more dense evergreen vertical
trees, establishing a screen. With the Metro Line, they would like a theme tree that would
run along the entire length of the rail on Nash Street. Mariposa will pick up the street tree
theme, being consistent with Grand Avenue to tie that together as well, as El Segundo.
There will be a meandering jogging path that will connect the entire length of the project.
There is a proposed pathway on the west side of the sports center that will run adjacent to
the parcel line. The pink areas represent individual plazas, etc.
Joel Miller, 3420 Ocean Park Blvd., Santa Monica
Of the 120 mitigation measures and conditions of approval, they are in agreement with
staff on 117. The three issues they do not agree on are: Condition #54, Kearney does not
believe that market forces will support 10,000 square feet of ancillary uses. They believe
a more achievable figure is 6,000 square feet and ask for support on this number.
Conditions #C 1 and #42. These require a six month and twelve month review of
operations. They believe any adjustments that are necessary should be handled at an
administrative level and not at a noticed public hearing.
They believe Plan B is adequate to meet the recreational facilities and request the language
be deleted from the Development Agreement.

Loretta Frye, Resident of El Segundo
She felt the issue over cigarettes is not as important as alcohol. She stated there are more
deaths from alcohol than smoking cigarettes. She is a member of MADD. Why should
the citizens of the community pay for extra police officers to patrol the area? She does b*4p
home care for people who are disabled from drunk drivers. She has a total of nine
children in her program without parents due to drunk driving. She doesn't believe a
sporting event should have alcohol, especially where there is public and children.
Liz Garnholz, Resident of El Segundo
Director Bernard stated (earlier) Morgan Stanley and the Commission received the draft
Minutes on the discussion of the April 9 Meeting. They also received a briefing by staff.
She requested a copy of the Minutes.
There will be no liquor sold at the snack shop or the cafe. She likes the .idea of no
smoking in the building. Chairman Crowley stated it will cover the recreational facility.
She likes the idea of restricting the hours of the ice skating rink from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
She likes it closed to the public at 10 p.m. Commissioner Boulgarides stated there will
be no alcohol after 10 p.m. which includes the cafe. She is concerned about arcade
machines.
Is the liquor license site specific? Chairman Crowley stated the AUP covers the entire
site. There will be more stringent reviews from the ABC. Vice -Chair Wycoff stated there
will not be liquor before 11 a.m. also. She thinks metal detectors would be appropriate.
She would like random canine patrol also.
She asked how this project will fit into the Fed -X project? How will the traffic fit in?
She envisioned a mini - convention center and would be curious of the Morgan Stanley's
opinion on this.
Gail Church, Resident of El Segundo
She supports anything that can help the youth in the community and this project will
facilitate this. She likes the idea of the landscape.
Ms. Jester stated Plan B will have a net fiscal impact of revenue generated to the City of
approximately $870,000 per year. Plan A will be $206,000.
Commissioner Palmer stated she viewed the City's videotape of the last meeting and has
read the reference material. She also sat in on a meeting with an initial project overview
presentation.
Commissioner Palmer asked where the fees are coming out of regarding transportation/
circulation, on Page 16 of Resolution 2413? Ms. Jester stated the applicant is required
to pay a traffic mitigation fee. The improvements that they install that benefit not only
their project but benefit traffic area wide, they will receive credit for and then they have
to pay the balance of the traffic mitigation fee.
Commissioner Palmer asked why there can't be a flashing red light at certain intersections,
like Sepulveda and El Segundo Boulevards.
00101
04- 23 -98 =2
Jerry Crabill, 275 Centennial Way, Tustin
There is so much traffic in El Segundo, that it would create a worse situation than just
letting the signals operate according to the way they're timed. There could be a detector
failure when a light does not change. There is a solution called permissive protective left
turn.
Commissioner Palmer asked when the mitigation fees are paid. Ms. Jester stat ed they are T
generally before certificate of occupancy for each building, they would have to pay their
fair share portion.
Commissioner Boulgarides would like a more detailed layout of the sports facility.
Doug Robertson, Architect for Kings
One of the conditions of approval of the amended Attachment C would provide the option
for moving the in -line skating facility from its current location to the other side of the
building. This is one of the options. It is going to be a flat surface with an NHL size rink.
It's a roller hockey rink.
Vice -Chair Wycoff asked if there is going to be seating? Mr. Robertson stated there may
be 25 or 50 seats. Also a landscape area to buff the rink. Moving it to the side and some
re- orientation of the entrance of the building further buffers the rink. It will be accessed
between the outdoor skating rink and interior of the building.
They would like to request that Condition 4 of the original Attachment C be amended to
read that the hours of operation for the beer and wine sales in association with the
restaurant be from 11 a.m. to midnight. Ms. Jester stated the Kings wanted to midnight
at the first meeting, however, the Commission stated at the second meeting the alcohol
sales from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. would be appropriate. It will be full liquor sales.
Commissioner Palmer asked about bicycle use for transportation to and from the site.
Greg Galusha (Return)
They investigated a new concept called a "bike station." It is manned where employees
traveling to and from the center can check the bike out for the day and take the Greenline
to their place of employment or arrive and check a bike out and ride it to their place of
employment. Funding will be from various employers.
Commissioner Boulgarides asked why the pro shop is closing at a different hour. Mr.
Robertson felt it wouldn't be necessary to keep it open later.
Why are they opposed to having a public hearing at six and twelve months? Mr. Miller
stated they aren't opposed to the public participation process. They are opposed to the
notification process. Mr. Robertson stated it will set new precedence for applications. Six
and twelve months review is standard but a noticed public hearing has never been required
before.
00 10 2
04- 23- 98.mn2
Brad Becken, Ice Specialty Entertainment
The way they schedule activities, there is no public skating after 10 p.m. at night, adult
hockey takes over and goes until midnight or later. The alcohol at that hour is to 3
accommodate this.
asked Chair Wycoff d if monument signs are in and pole signs are out. Ms. Jester
stated that is correct. The layout of the jogging track is the pink line on the landscape
map. It would extend the entire length of Nash Street. Also, there are sidewalks linking
up that you could continue jogging on.
The parking structures may rise above the office buildings. How will this look? Ms.
Jester stated Condition 7L is revised. It relates to the exterior building materials and they
are requiring that the elevations of parking structure shall be compatible with main
buildings.
Mr. Galusha stated their architect did a survey of the existing buildings to the west of the
facility to provide a sense of perspective for someone on Nash to evaluate the heights of
these buildings and parking structures. It gives a sense of what the zoning allows and
what they are providing. On the north and south parcels, the gray buildings shown on the
plans are significantly below their neighboring buildings. For the parking structures there
are exterior panels that can be added to blend in colors and materials with the adjacent
office buildings. You can also introduce landscaping as mitigation. They will require
CC &R's to insure that any owner will have to comply with the design review, and the
CC &R's are approved by the City staff.
Commissioner Boulgarides stated a big attraction will be the celebrities. He would like
a provision that it will not become a destination for autographs, etc. Mr. Robertson stated
they will be working with the Police Department and that they would need flexibility with
screening, etc. This facility will be a practice area and celebrities will be minimal. There
is also a separate secured parking area and entrance.
Commissioner Boulgarides would like clarification on the hours of operation being
general admission, non - reservation. It is all public, even if it's by reservation. He also
doesn't have a problem meeting the 6,000 square feet commercial retail. They don't need
to start a new process of the noticed public hearing. The Commission agreed.
Chairman Crowley stated on Item 42 they do not need an elevated level of a noticed public
hearing, but rather a receive and file would be fine. The Commission agreed.
On Item 1 of Attachment C, the Commission agreed to require receive and file.
On hours of operation, the Commission agreed on 7 a.m. The wording should be changed
from "shall be from" to "permissible from." They agreed on 7 a.m. on A, B, and C. The
Commission agreed on 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. if the in -line facility is next to the hotel. The
restaurant and snack bar can open at 7 a.m. Commissioner Boulgarides suggested keeping
the snack bar open 24 hours. There should be no restrictions. The Pro Shop can remain
as it is. The alcohol serving should be left at 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Ms. Jester stated the Police Department did not have concern with alcohol sales going as
late as 1 a.m. They have surveyed similar facilities in other cities, and they have had no
problems.
0 01.O
04- 23- 98.mn2
Commissioner O'Hearn is concerned about over- regulating. The businesses need to make
money and be successful and perhaps trying till 10 p.m. and then 10 p.m. to midnight
could be wine and beer with food only. O
Mr. Becken stated the Police Department does not have any problem with what could be
regulated. Whatever the Commission gives as an operation, they can deal with it. W
The one line in the Development Agreement requiring additional recreational facilities
will be stricken from Plan B.
Loretta Frye (Return)
She stated other cities get calls for alcohol drinking and the problems they cause. People
go to restaurants and drink only. They don't necessarily eat too. Alcohol is alcohol, no
matter what the type is. She has no problem with the hotel having alcohol.. She can't
believe how strong the issue is for cigarettes. She is opposed to alcohol in the sports
facility.
Ms. Jester stated the City is in the process of building an outdoor hockey facility at Hilltop
Park and this will only be open to El Segundo teams and teams playing El Segundo teams.
Commissioner Boulgarides asked if the restaurant will have a bar. Mr. Becken stated it
won't be a bar but more like a restaurant facility. Ms. Jester stated a bar would require a
CUP and they have not applied for this.
Commissioner Palmer stated the sports facility is going to be a draw for youth. You want
them to be around good role models. She feels there should be no alcohol.
Jean Hoffman, St. Anthony's
She feels you shouldn't over - regulate and you do have a check in six months. You can
go anywhere to get alcohol.
The Commission decided on alcohol on 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and beer and wine from 10
p.m. to midnight. Commissioner Palmer disagreed.
Commissioner Boulgarides feels Palm Trees are not very appealing and provide no shade.
For landscaping they are a poor choice. Mr. Abe stated the Palm idea was just a distinct
theme for the gateway.
Chairman Crowley moved to adopt Resolution 2413. Commissioner Boulgarides MOTION
seconded. Passed 5 -0.
Chairman Crowley moved to adopt Resolution 2414. Commissioner O'Hearn seconded. MOTION
Passed 5 -0.
Chairman Crowley moved to adopt Resolution 2415. Commissioner O'Hearn seconded. MOTION
Passed 4 -1. Commissioner Palmer opposed. Commissioner Palmer is not voting against
the Parking Demand Study, only the alcohol sales.
Chairman Crowley moved to adopt Resolution 2416. Commissioner O'Hearn seconded. MOTION
Passed 5 -0.
04- 23- 98.mn2 6 00104
The AUP 98 -4 is being moved up in the Agenda. Chairman Crowley moved to receive MOTION
and file the Director's determination with the revisions made previously. Vice -Chair
Wycoff seconded. Passed 4 -0 -1 with Commissioner Palmer abstaining.
These items area appealable within the next ten days. This has been noticed for the City

Commissioner O'Hearn asked abo the easemen here the water runs. Mr. Young

RESOLUTION NO. 2416
A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING TONTHE THE
CITY CITY OF EL COUNCIL
SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING
APPROVAL OF A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. DA 98-1 FOR THE GRAND
AVENUE CORPORATE CENTER AND ADOPTING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
THEREOF
WHEREAS, the project applicant, MS Vickers II, LLC ( "Owner "), owns certain real
property, 23.03 acres in size, generally located along the west side of Nash Street between
Mariposa Avenue and El Segundo Boulevard (the "Property"), in the City of El Segundo
( "City ") . The Property is bounded on the north by Mariposa Avenue, on the east by Nash
Street and on the south by El Segundo Boulevard. The Property is bisected by Grand
Avenue, which provides east -west access between Continental Boulevard and Nash Street;
and
WHEREAS, the Owner proposes to develop a mixed -use project on the Property
known as the Grand Avenue Corporate Center ( "Project"). The Project entails two
alternative conceptual designs, Plan `A' and Plan `B.' In general, the primary differences
are that Plan `A' has about 1.15 million square feet of development as compared to about
730,000 square feet in Plan `B.' Plan `A' contemplates about 1.06 million square feet of
office - related uses and a 200 -room hotel. Plan `B' has less office space (about 461,000
square feet), but a second hotel (of 150 rooms) and a sports training/recreation facility (of
120,000 square feet); and
WHEREAS, the Property is located in the Urban Mixed Use -North Zone ( "MU -N
Zone "). The MU -N Zone provides for development of a mixture of compatible commercial,
office, research and development, retail and hotel uses; and
WHEREAS, in connection with development of the Project, the Owner submitted
applications for approval of Environmental Assessment No. EA -430; Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 52427 (Subdivision 98 -1); Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 98 -2; Parking Demand
Study No. 98 -1; and Development Agreement No. DA 98 -1 (hereinafter referred to as the
"Development Agreement ")(collectively, the "Project Approvals "); and
WHEREAS, an Initial Study was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the
Rao. 2416
00106
California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA "), CAL Public Resources ode Section 21000
et sea. The Initial Study demonstrated that the Project, with the implementation of certain
mitigation measures, would not cause any significant environmental impacts. Accordingly,
a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( "MND ") encompassing all of the Project Approvals was
prepared. As more particularly described in the MND, the Project will not cause any
significant environmental impacts given, among other things, its design and mitigation
measures; and
WHEREAS, a Notice of Intent to issue a MND was prepared on March 3, 1998. The
Notice of Preparation concerning the MND was posted by the Clerk for the County of Los
Angeles on March 4,1998. The MND was submitted to the California Office of Planning and
Research on March 4, 1998. The MND, including the Initial Study, was circulated for public
review and comment on March 4, 1998. Copies of the MND were mailed to all potential
responsible agencies, trustee agencies, neighboring cities and interested parties. Notice of the
MND was also mailed to all interested parties. The 30 -day comment period for the MND
ended on April 3, 1998; and
WHEREAS, on March 26, and April 9 and 23, 1998, the City's Planning Commission
("Commission ") held duly noticed public hearings to consider the Project Approvals,
including The Development Agreement, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main
Street, and notice of that hearings 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
Project Approvals; and
WHEREAS, at said hearing the facts as contained within the projects Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration documents, applications, Staff Reports, minutes, and all
other file documents, were established.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above referenced
Initial Study and the
facts; the Project Approvals and the information contained therein; the Inthe Commission
MND; and the testimony and other evidence offered at the public hearing s
recommends the City Council approve Development Agreement No. 98 -1 and makes the
following findings in support thereof:
1. General Findings
(a) Reliance on Record. Each and all of the findings and determinations
2 Rego. 2416
00107
contained herein are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written,
contained in the entire record relating to the Project. The findings and determinations
constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Commission in all respects and
are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
(b) Nature of Findin ns. Any finding made by the Commission shall be deemed
made, regardless of where it appears in this document. All of the language included in this
document constitutes findings by the Commission, whether or not any particular sentence or
clause includes a statement to that effect. The Commission intends that these findings be
considered as an integrated whole and, whether or not any part of these findings fail to cross -
reference or incorporate by reference any other part of these findings, that any finding
required or committed to be made by the Commission with respect to any particular subject
matter of the Project shall be deemed to be made, if it appears in any portion of these
findings.
(c) Limitations. The Commission's analysis and evaluation of the Project is based
on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a Project that
absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the Project will not exist. One of
the major limitations on analysis of the Project is the Commission's lack of knowledge of
future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions.
Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect
regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political
framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
(d) SUMMark of Information. All summaries of information in the findings to
follow are based on the evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any
such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.
(e) Adoption of Mitigation Measures. These findings are based on the various
mitigation measures to be required in the implementation of the Project as recommended by
the MND or identified by the MND as already having been incorporated into the Project.
The Commission is hereby adopting and incorporating into the implementation of the Project
those mitigation measures recommended in the MND. The Commission finds that all the
mitigation measures now incorporated into the Project are desirable and feasible. Certain
mitigation measures, such as those involving traffic, air quality and storm water discharge,
are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies such as Caltrans and
the Los Angeles County Sanitation District, and therefore will require additional approvals
from those agencies.

SEGUND09 CALIFORNIA ADOPTING AND A MITIGATION
DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENTAL ASSESSMENT EA 430 FOR
MONITORING PROGRAM FOR ENVIRONM
THE GRAND AVENUE CORPORATE CENTER AND ADOPTING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT THEREOF
WHEREAS, the project applicant, MS Vickers II, LLC ( "Owner "), owns certain real
property, 23.03 acres in size, generally located along the west side of Nash Street between
Mariposa Avenue and El Segundo Boulevard (the "Property"), in the City of El Segundo
( "City ") . The Property is bounded on the north by Mariposa Avenue, on the east by Nash
Street and on the south by El Segundo Boulevard. The Property is bisected by Grand
Avenue, which provides east -west access between Continental Boulevard and Nash Street;
and
WHEREAS, the Owner proposes to develop a mixed -use project on the Property
known as the Grand Avenue Corporate Center ( "Project "). The Project entails two
alternative conceptual designs, Plan `A' and Plan `B.' In general, the primary differences
are that Plan `A' has about 1.15 million square feet of development as compared to about
730,000 square feet in Plan `B.' Plan `A' contemplates about 1.06 million square feet of
office - related uses and a 200 -room hotel. Plan `B' has less office space (about 461,000
square feet), but a second hotel (of 150 rooms) and a sports training/recreation facility (of
120,000 square feet); and
WHEREAS, the Property is located in the Urban Mixed Use -North Zone ( "MU -N
Zone "). The MU -N Zone provides for development of a mixture of compatible commercial,
office, research and development, retail and hotel uses; and
WHEREAS, in connection with development of the Project, the Owner submitted
applications for approval of Environmental Assessment No. EA -430; Vesting Tentative Tract
Map No. 52427 (Subdivision 98 -1); Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 98 -2; Parking Demand

WHEREAS, an Initial Study was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the
California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA "), Cal Public Resources Code Section 21000
et sea. The Initial Study demonstrated that the Project, with the implementation of certain
mitigation measures, would not cause any significant environmental impacts. Accordingly,
a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( "MND ") encompassing all of the Project Approvals was
prepared. As more particularly described in the MND, the Project will not cause any
significant environmental impacts given, among other things, its design and mitigation
measures; and
WHEREAS, a Notice of Intent to issue a MND was prepared on March 3, 1998. The
Notice of Preparation concerning the MND was posted by the Clerk for the County of Los
Angeles on March 4, 1998. The MND was submitted to the California Office of Planning and
Research on March 4, 1998. The MND, including the Initial Study, was circulated for public
review and comment on March 4, 1998. Copies of the MND were mailed to all potential
responsible agencies, trustee agencies, neighboring cities and interested parties. Notice of the
MND was also mailed to all interested parties. The 30 -day comment period for the MND
ended on April 3, 1998; and
WHEREAS, on March 26, April 9 and 23, 1998, the City's Planning Commission
( "Commission ") held duly noticed public hearings to consider the Project Approvals and the
MND in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street, and notice of that 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
Project Approvals; and
WHEREAS, at said hearing the facts as contained within the projects Initial Study and
Mitigated Negative Declaration documents, applications, Staff Reports, minutes, and all
other file documents, were established.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above referenced
facts; the Project Approvals and the information contained therein; the Initial Study and the
MND; and the testimony and other evidence offered at the public hearing, the Commission
adopts the MND for Environmental Assessment EA -430 and makes the following findings
in support thereof-
1. General Findings
(a) Reliance on Record: Each and all of the findings and determinations
2 Rm. 2413
()0] 11
contained herein are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written,
contained in the entire record relating to the Project. The findings and determinations
constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Commission in all respects and
are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
(b) Nature of Findings: Any finding made by the Commission shall be deemed
made, regardless of where it appears in this document. All of the language included in this
document constitutes findings by the Commission, whether or not any particular sentence or
clause includes a statement to that effect. The Commission intends that these findings be
considered as an integrated whole and, whether or not any part of these findings fail to cross -
reference or incorporate by reference any other part of these findings, that any finding
required or committed to be made by the Commission with respect to any particular subject
matter of the Project shall be deemed to be made, if it appears in any portion of these
findings.
(c) Limitations: The Commission's analysis and evaluation of the Project is based
on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a Project that
absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the Project will not exist. One of
the major limitations on analysis of the Project is the Commission's lack of knowledge of
future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions.
Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect
regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political
framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
(d) Summaries of Information: All summaries of information in the findings to
follow are based on the evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any
such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.
Cross - references to the MND and other evidence have been made where helpful, and
reference should be made directly to the MND and other evidence in the record for more
precise information regarding the facts on which any summary is based.
(e) Adoption of Mitigation Measures: These findings are based on the various
mitigation measures to be required in the implementation of the Project as recommended by
the MND or identified by the MND as already having been incorporated into the Project.
The Commission is hereby adopting and incorporating into the implementation of the Project
those mitigation measures recommended in the MND. The Commission finds that all the
mitigation measures now incorporated into the Project are desirable and feasible. Certain
mitigation measures, such as those involving traffic, air quality and storm water discharge,
are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies such as Caltrans and
3 Reso. 2413
001.18
the Los Angeles County Sanitation District, and therefore will require additional approvals
from those agencies.
(f) Specific and General Mitigation: The MND generally identifies, for each
potentially significant impact of the Project, one or more corresponding mitigation measures
to reduce such impact to a level of insignificance. The Commission finds that many of the
mitigation measures described in the MND may lessen or avoid impacts in impact categories
other than the category(ies)for which they are specifically proposed. In light of the above,
the Commission finds that each potentially significant impact identified by the MND is
mitigated by its corresponding mitigation measures to the extent set forth in the MND
( "specific mitigation ") and by other, non - corresponding mitigation measures adopted by the
Commission that were already incorporated into the Project ("general mitigation "). These
findings shall be applicable wherever supported by the evidence in the record regardless of
whether a specific finding of an instance of such general mitigation is made
2. Findings Required Under CEOA
(a) Finding Regarding Independent Judgment (Pub. Res. Code § 21082.1)
The Commission has independently reviewed and analyzed the MND prepared
for the Project. This MND is an accurate and complete statement of the potential
environmental impacts of the Project. The MND reflects the independent judgment of the
Commission.
(b) Finding Regarding Location And Custodian Of Agency's Record (14 CCR
15074(c))
The record on which the Commission's findings are based is located at the
Department of Planning and Building Safety, City of El Segundo, 350 Main Street, El
Segundo, California 90245. The custodian of the record is the Director of Planning and
Building Safety.
(c) Finding Of No Substantial Evidence That Project May Have Significant
Effect On The Environment (Pub. Res. Code §§ 21080(c), 21083(b); 14
CCR 15065(c), 15074(b)))
The Initial Study identifies potentially significant effects of the Project on the
environment. However, as to each of these effects, revisions in the Project made and/or
4
Rao. 2413
010119
agreed to by the applicant before the MND and Initial Study were released for public review
would avoid or mitigate such effect to a point where clearly no significant effect on the
environment would occur. There is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record
before the Commission, including, but not limited to the Initial Study, the MND and all
comments received, that the Project as revised may have a significant effect on the
environment. Because the incremental impacts of the Project as revised are not potentially
significant, such impacts are not "considerable" for purposes of CEQA, whether viewed in
isolation or in conjunction with the impacts of past projects, other current projects, and
probable future projects.
(d) Findings As To Individual Environmental Impact Categories
Where a mitigated negative declaration is adopted, CEQA does not require the
lead agency to make specific findings as to individual environmental impact categories.
Nonetheless, the Commission makes the following specific findings:
(1) Geology.
The Property consists of approximately 23 acres of unimproved, relatively
level land. Therefore, in order to construct the proposed improvements, minor clearing and
grubbing will be required. Due to the prior use of the site for oil and gas production, the
existence of any oil and gas line(s) will be confirmed with the oil and gas companies prior
to any demolition work. The soils report indicates methane has been detected at depths of
approximately 10 feet to 70 feet. Although it is most likely of natural origin, the exact source
and migration pathway are not known. Accordingly, Mitigation Measure 2 (MM2) requires
excavation to be limited to a depth of 10'. As a result, Chevron, the prior owner of the
Property, has attached several deed restrictions to address the problem, which includes the
clause that no grading shall occur below ten feet (10') from the existing grade.
The Project will impact existing topographic conditions. Mitigation Measure
1 (MM 1) requires that grading in preparation for the construction of the proposed project will
be minimal, and will be limited to final level for drainage and soil compaction of building
pads. On -site grading will result in a balance of cut and fill with no removal or importation
of soil from the site. Mitigation Measure 3 (MM3) requires that any excess soil volumes be
used in berming for landscaping purposes within the site. Significant changes to topography
have been mitigated to a less than significant level.
There are potential construction hazards arising from the Project. (See
subsection (2), below.)
5 Rew.2413
ooi ?o
The site is located within the seismically active Southern California region;
therefore, occupants of the Project will be subject m similar seismic risks as other and structure size which
commercial developments of a comparable employment
are located in the vicinity of the site. No known geologic features exist on the te, and no
p
known active or potentially active faults are located on or near the subject roe The risk
of surface rupture due to faulting is considered remote, as is the potential for ground failure
or other seismic hazards. The potential for landslides and mudslides is non - existent due to
the level topography of the site and vicinity.
Change in the type of soils is not anticipated. Existing site conditions consist
of soils interbedded with mixtures of sand, silt, and clay with silty sand and sand being the
predominant soil types. The fine grained soils encountered in the borings, clayey silty, sandy
clay, and silty clay are stiff to very stiff. Existing site conditions coupled with minimal
movement of soils in support of the proposed project, are expected to result in little if any
change to the earth or soils at the proposed project site. The resulting potential for impacts
is negligible.
The minimum depth of excavations for building footings must be determined
by the soils and structural engineer. Mitigation Measure 4 (MM4) provides that a site approval. It
specific Soils Report will be prepared and submitted to the recommendations mmendations based on the
is anticipated that this report will identify specific structural
construction variables for each building. Implementation of MM4 will ensure that geological
and soil related hazards are minimized to less than significant levels.
Development of the Project will fully comply with all applicable City building
guidelines, restrictions, and permit requirements. With the incorporation of measures MMl
through MM4, development of the proposed project will have a less than significant impact
on topography and soils, and will not expose people or property to significant geologic
hazards.
(2) Air Oua itv.
The Project will generate dust and fumes and will impact air quality in general.
However, with the incorporation of the following mitigation measure, the level of dust,
fumes, and impacts on air quality will be less than significant impact. The Project will not
produce significant changes in ash, smoke, or odors in the vicinity, and will not cause any
significant alterations in the air movements, moisture and air temperature.
6 Rao. 2413
0 0 l ? 1 .
Long term emissions from post - construction occupancy of the Project could
result in regional contributions of criteria pollutants which may cumulatively be linked to air
odors and fumes. Similarly, mobile sources such as auto exhausts, and stationary sources
such as gas heaters, may indirectly generate fumes.
Mitigation Measure 5 (MM5) requires that project design features shall be
incorporated to offset project - related emission. Total daily regional emissions of carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, reactive organic compounds, sulfur oxides, and particulate matter
resulting from development and occupancy of the site by the Project will not have a
significant adverse impact on air quality, since individual pollutant emissions are below the
SCAQMD's significance thresholds.
During the Project's construction phase, short-term emissions of fugitive dust
from grading activities, and exhaust emissions from the construction equipment may result
in some amount of criteria pollutants. However, even under worst case assumptions, project
construction activities will be below the SCAQMD's applicable thresholds. Project
construction activities will not have a significant short term impact on air quality.
Construction and subsequent occupancy of the Project will not create, or
significantly worsen, an existing accedence of any air pollution standard in the local area or
the region with the implementation of mitigation measures which shall be required by the
City. Project development will not result in a significant impact upon air quality within the
South Coast Air Basin and will also be consistent with all regional, State and Federal air
quality regulations.
(3) W— ater•
The 23 -acre Project site is essentially unimproved level land. Ground water
quality is unknown. No impervious surfaces exist on -site (e.g., paved surfaces, buildings,
etc.), with the exception of some perimeter public sidewalks.
On -site surface water run -off is influenced by the natural topography of the
Project site which drains in a west to east direction towards Nash Street. Surface flows
which are not absorbed on -site, drain off -site onto adjacent surface streets and eventually to
storm drains outletting into the Pacific Ocean. Because the site has a substantial area of
exposed soils, existing run -off conditions may be accompanied by soil erosion.
Once developed, exposed soils on the project site will be covered by pavement,
buildings or landscaping. Therefore, the potential for soil erosion at the project site will be
Rao. 2413
O 0 A 2
greatly reduced. Mitigation Measure 6 (MM6) requires that pavement on -site shall be
maintained to prevent soil erosion. All cracks will be repaired on a regular basis and any
debris will be removed. With the incorporation of the proposed MM6, erosional problems
will have less than significant impact.
Development of the Project will introduce urban contaminants (e.g., tire wear
residue, oil and grease, fertilizers, etc.) to the site, thereby potentially resulting in long -term
degradation of on -site surface water run -off and ground water quality. Mitigation Measure
7 (MM7) requires on -site surface drainage be directed to existing storm drains. With the
incorporation of MM7, and the estimation that the storm drain capacity is adequate to serve
the site subsequent to project implementation, the degradation of on -site surface water run-
off and ground water quality will have a less than significant impact.
While ocean waters will be affected by the site's urban run -off, changes in
ocean water quality are considered to be insignificant. To mitigate the project from on -site
urban run -off, the Project will comply with all appropriate City of El Segundo Urban Run -off
Pollution Prevention Controls as stated in Mitigation Measure 8 (MM8). As a contributor
to the City's drainage system, this project is required by Mitigation Measures 9 through 12
(MM9, MM10, MM11 and MM 12) to implement measures on -site to improve the quality of
the run -off.
Proposed improvements (e.g., buildings, surface parking lots, etc.) will reduce
the amount of pervious surfaces presently located on -site, changing existing absorption rates
and drainage patterns. Existing City storm drain facilities can be found in Nash Street and
Mariposa Avenue. Proposed on -site improvements as stated in MM8 and MM12, will
include flood control and water quality facilities. The flood control facilities include grated
inlets, storm drains, and roof drains. In addition, all onsite drainage will outlet through curb
drains or driveways. Proposed landscaped areas will continue to permit some surface water
absorption. Given the decrease in imperviousness, drainage volumes will increase, and
surface water run -off generated by the project site will continue to be collected by storm
drains located along Nash Street, El Segundo Boulevard, Grand Avenue and Mariposa
Avenue and directed via culverts to the Pacific Ocean.
The Project is located in the jurisdiction of the County of Los Angeles
Department of Public Works and is subject to any policies and regulations set forth by the
County's Stormwater Discharge Program. Mitigation Measure 13 (MM13) requires that the
ounty Department of
Project will comply with permit requirements of Angeles
Public Works for Los Angeles County Flood Control District. With the incorporation of the
8 Rew. 2413
rot ^3
proposed MM 13, flooding occurrences will have a less than significant impact on the project
site.
Storm water run -off from paved areas and the roofs of proposed structures is
anticipated as a result of the Project. The storm water run -off will be collected by the
drainage system designed for the site and will enter the storm drain at the connection point.
The Project falls under the jurisdiction of the County of Los Angeles and is
required to submit a permit application, prior to construction to the Los Angeles County
Department of Public Works for the Los Angeles County Flood Control District. Mitigation
Measure 14 (MM14) provides that the drainage system shall be designed using the necessary
hydraulic/hydrology and structural calculations required for permitting by the Los Angeles
County Department of Public Works, and that the Project's drainage system will be
constructed in compliance with all regulations and specifications.
Mitigation Measure 15 (MM 15) provides that all on -site development shall be
consistent with a Hydrology/Drainage Study and the finalized Site Plan, to be approved by
the City. Implementation of MM15 will ensure that any minor project modifications or
Project Area specific development is constructed to meet engineering specifications and
reduce impacts to less than significant levels.
Currently there are no reclaimed water pipelines down Nash Street. Mitigation
Measure 16 (MM16) requires that the Applicant extend the reclaimed water pipeline
infrastructure to the furthest applicable extension of the Project site necessary to
accommodate utilization of reclaimed water for project landscape irrigation. The Applicant
shall install a dual water system to accommodate the use of reclaimed water for landscaping
on -site. With the incorporation of the proposed MM16, water availability for public use will
have a less than significant impact.
The Project is not anticipated to significantly affect water availability as
development of the Project site is consistent with regional growth forecasts which
contemplated long -term water needs for the southern California region.
The development of the Project represents a continuing expansion of growth
throughout the region. The growth is consistent with predicted regional growth trends.
Incremental increases in effects to ocean or ground water quality, absorption rates, drainage
patterns, surface run -off water, or water availability with the incorporation of MM6 through
MM16, are less than a significant impact.

(4) Biological Resources.
The Project site is located within a highly urbanized environment. No known
rare or endangered plant species are associated with the Project site or within the immediate
vicinity. Only a limited number of plant species can be found on -site, none of which is
considered rare or endangered.
Landscaping is currently located along the site's eastern (Nash Street) and
southern (El Segundo Boulevard) boundaries, as well as along the western perimeter of the
property. Development of the Project will include additional landscaping consisting of plant
species which readily adapt to urban environments and drought tolerant plant species when
feasible. Development of the Project will not introduce or affect rare or endangered plant
species (including trees, shrubs, grass, crops, and micro flora) in the Project vicinity. No
mitigation is required.
The Project site and immediate locale are not known to contain any rare or
endangered animal species. Since the Project site is located within a highly developed urban
area, the potential for animal life on -site is limited and includes species that have adapted to
such environments.
As a result of the pond on the Project site, a number of migratory and non -
migratory birds were observed during a site visit. However, it is not anticipated that these
species, or others, use the site as nesting habitat given the disturbed site conditions. As a
matter of caution, Mitigation Measure 17 (MM 17) has been provided to reduce the potential
impact to a less than significant level by providing that a qualified biological monitor inspect
the site prior to grading to report the status of any migratory birds found on -site.
Several red fox tracks were observed on Project Area 2. The field investigation
concluded that the site is used strictly for hunting purposes since no burrows are found on
the property. It is anticipated that construction activities and the removal of the pond will
result in the abandonment of the area by the red fox. The elimination of the red fox from the
site is not considered a significant impact by regulatory agencies.
The Project will not produce significant impacts to the number of rare or
endangered species or specimens in the site vicinity, nor will it result in significant changes
in the diversity of species, reduction in numbers, or deterioration of valuable animal habitats.
There is no substantial evidence before the City that the Project will cause adverse effects,
whether individually or cumulatively, on wildlife resources.

(5) Noise.
No noise sensitive receptors have been identified in the immediate vicinity of
the Project site. Uses surrounding the site consist of commercial, office and hotel uses which
are generally not considered to be sensitive to noise or vibration. Traffic along Sepulveda
Boulevard, LAX and related air traffic are the predominant noise generators in the site area.
The Project will have a short-term and long -term noise impact.
Noise and vibration effects on the surrounding land uses were analyzed for
both short-term construction activities and long -term operation of the Project. Construction
activities will be ongoing and intermittent for a two (2) to five (5) year period during
permitted hours only, as established by City regulations. Vibration attributable to
construction activities will be minimal due to the type of construction equipment generally
employed for a project of this nature.
No notable stationary noise sources will be associated with the operation of the
Project. The types of activities and facilities proposed on the Project site are not be expected
to generate objectionable vibration that might be noticeable at any adjoining property line.
Due to limited noise and vibration anticipated with construction and operation of the Project
on a long -term basis, and due to the noise levels along Sepulveda Boulevard obscuring short-
term construction noise, no significant impacts from noise or vibration will occur, and no
mitigation is required.
Project - related traffic will contribute toward increased ambient noise levels.
Project traffic traveling along regional freeways will incrementally add to freeway- related
traffic noise within the region. However, the volume of project related traffic relative to
background freeway traffic flow will result in imperceptible noise level increases along
freeways. Project - related traffic along local arterials leading to the Project site will increase
noise levels in the vicinity of Project. However, the immediate vicinity does not have any
sensitive receptors which will be affected. Project- related traffic noise will be less than
significant and no mitigation is required.
(6) Aesthetics.
Development in the Project vicinity consists of low to medium -scale (i.e., one
to six story) commercial office structures, which operate approximately 12 to 24 hours per
day. These structures provide nighttime lighting for advertising, safety and security purposes.
No proposed sensitive uses (i.e., schools, churches, hospitals, etc.) are located within the
immediate vicinity of the Project site.
I I Reso. 2413
n 0 .f ;? E
The Project site is currently void of light and glare sources. Development of
the Project will introduce new lighting to the area. The lighting requirement of the Project
will be comparable to, and requires that it be compatible with, the lighting conditions created
by other established surrounding uses. The Project will not significantly alter the character
of nighttime illumination of the area. Mitigation Measure 18 (MM. 18) has been provided to
minimize off -site illumination by the Project. The measure requires that lighting fixtures will
be designed to direct the light downward, internal to the Project site. Mitigation Measure 19
(MM19) requires the Project use non - reflective building materials. This measure will
minimize the potential for reflective glare surfaces of the Project. With the incorporation of
MM 19 and MM 19, potential impacts related to light and glare have been reduced to a less
than significant levels.
While there are no sensitive uses within the vicinity of the Project site
currently, proposed hotel uses provided in both Conceptual Plans A and B represent a
potential sensitive receptor to extreme nighttime illumination conditions. Specifically, a
hotel use in Project Area 5 is vulnerable to nuisance nighttime illumination from the adjacent
MTA Green Line station or other adjacent uses which may require lighting in the nighttime
hours. Nighttime illumination concerns to the hotel would be considered significant if the
building design allows substantial errant lighting to be directed so as to be a disturbance to
guests during the night.
However, Mitigation Measure 20 (MM20) provides that the Project lighting
and building design will be implemented in such a way that it will minimize potential errant
nighttime glare and illumination to sensitive uses on -site and adjacent uses. Mitigation
Measure 21 (MM21) provides that building design and landscaping be implemented in such
a way that will minimize potential nighttime glare impacts to project hotel uses, or other
potentially sensitive uses, from adjacent sources. Identification of such features will be
determined upon finalization of development plans. With the incorporation of MM20 and
MM21, the potential nighttime illumination impacts have been reduced to a less than
significant level.
Mitigation Measure 22 (MM22) requires that any outdoor lighting design will
conform with any Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements with respect to
operation of LAX. This mitigation will ensure that potential impacts to air operations are
less than significant.

(7) Land Use and Planning.
The Project is consistent with the City's General Plan and the zoning
designation for the Property as more fully described in Finding No. 2 and 3 in Resolution No.
2414, which is hereby incorporated herein by this reference as though set forth in full.
The City of El Segundo Code provides development standards and regulations
which relate to the setback, landscaping, parking, etc., provisions for proposed development.
As required in Mitigation Measure 28 (MM28), unless otherwise noted in the approved
Development Agreement or through other specific mitigation, the Project shall comply with
the City of El Segundo Building and Zone Code. Compliance with MM28 will ensure that
impacts related to zoning are less than significant.
Current development surrounding the Project site consists of commercial
structures which include office buildings, business parks, hotels, restaurants and light
industry, ranging from one to seven stories in height. The Project is consistent in character,
and, therefore, compatible, with the use profile and general scale of surrounding uses and
structures. Therefore, no impacts are noted in this regard, and no specific mitigation is
required.
The Project is compatible with the existing development in the general area of
the site and is consistent with the City of El Segundo General Plan. Mitigation measures 23
through 27 (MM23 -MM27) have been provided to reduce any potential impacts related to
changes in pattern, scale, or character of existing development in the Project vicinity, and
potential conflicts with the City General Plan and Zoning to a less than significant level.
(8) Energy and Mineral Resources.
Development and operation of the Project Conceptual Plans `A' or `B' office
buildings, hotel, ancillary uses, and restaurant will result in the consumption of renewable
and non - renewable natural resources in the form of building materials during construction,
and domestic water and fossil fuels during project operation. These increases are consistent
with levels experienced by other similar development and are within growth expectations for
the Southern California region. Consumption is relatively insignificant in the context of
cumulative consumption volumes.
Existing supplies and infrastructure are adequate to meet project demands,
through the City of El Segundo Water and Wastewater Division. (See subsection (14),
below.) The Project will comply with all applicable statutes and regulations set forth in the
13 xeso. 2413
P'O1^R
City of El Segundo Building Code as provided in Mitigation Measure 28 (MM28), and all
applicable State resource conservation measures as provided in Mitigation Measure 27
(MM27). The Project site was historically used for petroleum extraction, and all on -site wells
have been capped. (See subsection (16), below.)
The Project will have an impact on the use, extraction, and conservation of a less than
water. Mitigation Measure 29 (MM29) has been provided to reduce this impact
significant level.
(9) az d .
The Project will utilize common cleaning solutions which will be disposed of
in accordance with applicable statutes. The use of these materials is considered an increase
over existing circumstances. The amount to be used represents a marginal increase and is
considered insignificant.
The potential land uses proposed for Project Areas 1 through 4 will utilize
comparable amounts of hazardous materials, due to similarity in size of structures and need
for these materials. In addition, the hotel and restaurant use on Project Area 5 (and the hotel
use on Project Area 1 in Plan `B') may purchase potentially hazardous household materials
in bulk quantities and store them on -site. However, based on the amount stored, the nature
of the packaging, the materials involved, and the Project's compliance with applicable
regulations, the risk from these land uses is considered minor. Use and storage of explosives
are not expected with the construction or operation of any of the proposed land uses. The
Project will have a less than significant impact regarding the use, disposal, or release of
potentially hazardous materials.
The Project site is accessible to emergency vehicles from all borders. Based
on project - generated traffic volumes, no unmitigatable traffic impacts are foreseen with
development of the Project. Mitigation Measure 31 (MM31) requires evacuation plans and
procedures be incorporated into building design. With the incorporation of Mitigation
Measure 30 (MM30), the Project is not expected to interfere with emergency response or
evacuation plans.
Previous uses of the Project site generate some concern for exposure of project
occupants to hazardous conditions potentially associated with the site in its undeveloped
state. (See subsection (16), below.)
14 Reso. 2413

(10) Population and Housing.
All residences in the City are located west of Sepulveda Boulevard, while non-
residential uses are located predominantly to the east. The Project site is within the non-
residential area, and is surrounded by commercial, office, light industrial and hotel uses.
Development of the Project is consistent with surrounding uses and the City's General Plan.
The Project will not alter the expected distribution of population. The Project does not
propose any residential land uses, and will not directly generate permanent population
growth in the City.
The Project will bring new employment to the area, and hence, will
incrementally add to the City's daytime population. The City's permanent population may
increase due to employees who relocate. However, the increase in permanent population
from employees relocating to the area will be limited, and any such increase will be expected
to be absorbed within the normal turnover of dwellings with the City. The Project will not
create a significant impact on the location, distribution, density or growth rate of the human
population.
The Project will not involve the development of any residential land uses, nor
will it involve demolition of any residential units. The Project will not have a direct impact
on housing in the City. While a small percent of employees may chose to relocate, the
demand for housing is anticipated to be met by existing housing stock. The number of
employees potentially relocating to the City can be expected to be limited and less than
significant when compared to the entire permanent population of the City. The Project is not
expected to produce significant impacts on the demand for additional housing.
(11) Transportation and Circulation.
Two traffic impact studies were done to evaluate existing traffic patterns and
the potential impacts anticipated by the Project. A comparison trip generation was performed
for each of the potential land uses for Project Areas 1 through 5 to determine a worst -case
scenario of traffic impacts for both Conceptual Plans `A' and V.
Following guidelines set forth by the City of El Segundo Planning and Traffic
Engineering staff and the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP), the
traffic study examined eighteen (18) key intersections.
With regard to Conceptual Plan `A', the traffic studies show that at full
buildout, this plan will not adversely affect the level of service ( "LOS ") at 12 of the 18
15 Rao. 2413
X01 ;n
intersections. As to the remaining six intersections, LOS impacts will be reduced by means
of Mitigation Measure 31 (MM31), which requires an air quality /traffic mitigation package
and provides a range of mitigation options. These options include the addition of one lane
in each direction on a portion of Sepulveda Boulevard, new left turn lanes at the intersection
of Sepulveda Boulevard and Grand Avenue, and installation of a Traffic Signal Coordination
System along a section of El Segundo Boulevard. Implementation of this mitigation
package will ensure that traffic- related impacts are reduced to less than significant levels.
With regard to Conceptual Plan `B', the traffic studies show that at full
buildout, this plan will not adversely affect LOS at 13 of the 18 intersections. As to the
remaining five intersections, LOS impacts will be reduced by means of Mitigation Measure
31 (MM31), which requires an air quality /traffic mitigation package and provides a range of
mitigation options. Among other items, these options include the installation of a Traffic
Signal Coordination System along a section of El Segundo Boulevard and a Transportation
Demand Management program comprised of ridematching, car pool, and/or public
transportation use programs and incentives. Implementation of this mitigation package will
ensure that traffic- related impacts are reduced to less than significant levels.
Pursuant to the County's Congestion Management Plan ( "CMP "), the traffic
studies included a preliminary Congestion Credit and Debit analysis. The Project was
evaluated separately under Conceptual Plans `A' and `B'. The preliminary analysis
demonstrates that for either plan, anticipated CMP Credits will fully offset anticipated CMP
Debits. Therefore, as proposed, both Conceptual Plans `A' and `B' will be fully consistent
with the CMP. Since minor Project modifications are anticipated, implementation of
Mitigation Measure 32 (MM32), which provides that a CMP credit/debit analysis be
completed to reflect the final Site Plan, will ensure that impacts related to the CMP are less
than significant.
Parking for the Project will be provided by surface parking lots or
combinations of above -grade structured parking garages and surface lots, on an individual
parcel basis. Each of the development areas will provide its own parking, sufficient to meet
its own individual needs. Mitigation Measure 33 (MM33) provides that adequate parking
shall be provided and in accordance with City requirements. Accordingly, impacts related
to parking will be minimized as the Site Plan is finalized.
Non - vehicular circulation is anticipated to be limited primarily to walking for
exercise, pedestrian access to transit and bicyclist circulation. Streets within the immediate
area are established with cross walks, pedestrian light signals and sidewalks. Increased
hazards to pedestrians and bicyclists are not anticipated. As provided in Mitigation Measure
16 Reso.2413
00131
34 (MM34), the Project will include a program and design features for pedestrian and bicycle
access (i.e., pedestrian access to MTA Green Line stations; bike racks and paths; and
showers for bicyclists and storage lockers).
Development on Project Areas 1 through 5 will not entail generation of or
alteration to rail, water, or air traffic. All Project Areas will function adequately with
dependence on vehicular traffic circulation alone. While LAX is located approximately one
mile to the north of the Project site, proposed development will not interfere with flight
patterns, nor will it generate significant air travel demand. Increased use of the MTA Green
Line is anticipated to result from the development of this facility adjacent to two of its
stations, but this increase use is not considered significant. Impacts to rail, water, and air
traffic are considered less than significant.
Mitigation Measure 35 (MM35) provides that all development shall be in
accordance with the approved Development Agreement and Implementation Plan to further
ensure that impacts to existing traffic patterns, traffic volumes, parking facilities, hazards to
pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and other vehicular, rail, air or water traffic are reduced to less
than significant levels.
(12) Public Services.
Police and fire protection services to the Project site are provided by the City
of El Segundo Police and Fire Departments. Water and park services are also operated by
the City of El Segundo. Sewer demands for the Project will be accommodated by the Los
Angeles County Sanitation District's sewer lines and will be treated at the Joint Water
Pollution and Control Plant in Carson. School services in this area of the City of El Segundo
(east of Sepulveda Boulevard) are provided by the Centinela Valley School District. The
City includes four school libraries and the El Segundo Public Library. Development of the
Project will generate additional demands for municipal services beyond current site demand.
The City of El Segundo Fire Department generally finds that office commercial
projects will not significantly impact fire services, provided all applicable regulations and
criteria are incorporated into building design plans as stated in Mitigation Measure 37
(MM37). Adequate water conveyance systems and supplies within the area further reduce
fire protection service concerns. A Mitigation Service Fee of fourteen cents per square foot
($0.14 /sq.ft) is required as stated in Mitigation Measure 38 (MM38) to offset service demand
impacts to fire department facilities in the City. Such payment is adequate mitigation to
reduce service related impacts to less than significant levels.
17 Reso.2413
0 0
While the Project may generate additional demands on police services, most
effects can be mitigated to a less than significant level by incorporating security lighting and
hardware into building design plans as stated in Mitigation Measure 39 (MM39). A
Mitigation Service Fee of eleven cents per square foot ($0.11 /sq.ft.) is required as stated in
Mitigation Measure 40 (MM40) to off -set service demand impacts to police department
facilities in the City. Such payment is adequate mitigation to reduce service related impacts
to less than significant levels.
Water and sewer lines serving the Project site are available and have the
capacity to meet the demands of the Project. (See subsection andh�(14), hich address water
incorporation of Mitigation Measures 41 and 42 (MM )
use reduction and wastewater generation reduction, service related impacts on water and
wastewater agencies will be reduced to less than significant levels.
As no residential uses are proposed with the Project, no direct significant
impacts are expected on local schools, libraries, parks, or recreational facilities. However,
limited demands on such facilities may be generated by Project employees and patrons of the
Project hotel(s) who seek facilities nearby. Such utilization is not anticipated to be
significant. Nonetheless, a Mitigation Service Fee of three cents per square foot
($0.03 /sq.ft.) is required as stated in Mitigation Measure 36 (MM36) to offset impacts to
library facilities in the City. Such payment is adequate mitigation to reduce service related
impacts to less than significant levels.
A Fiscal Impact Analysis was prepared to consider the Project's fiscal impact
on the City, and in particular the resulting revenue generation and municipal service cost
burden. The analysis concludes that the Project, under Conceptual Plan `A', will generate
a positive fiscal impact for the City of approximately $2,698,000 by the year 2006, after
consideration of City municipal service costs. Under Conceptual Plan `B', the Project will
generate a cumulative positive fiscal impact for the City of approximately $6,757,600 by the
year 2006, after consideration of City municipal service costs.
Development of the Project is expected to result in expenses to the City for the
provision of municipal services. These will be offset by the revenues generated for the City
by the Project over the long term beyond full buildout and occupancy after the year 2006.
The combined results of project design features and long -term revenue generation will result
in less than significant effects to City utilities and services. No specific mitigation measures
are required.
18 Reso. 2413
In conclusion, the Project will not significantly impact municipal services
(police, fire, water, school, sewage, parks, or public facilities) which will serve the Project.
Incorporation of Mitigation Measures 36 through 42 (MM36 -MM42) will reduce public
service related impacts to less than significant levels.
(13) Recreation.
No public parks or recreational facilities are located within the immediate
vicinity of the Project site. Demands on parks and recreational facilities are primarily
generated by permanent residential populations. The Project is not expected to significantly
alter the existing residential population. No residential development is proposed, and the
dominant land uses for the Project will attract a patron and local employee population that
is not expected to create a significant impact upon recreational facilities.
The Project will provide recreational amenities as required by the El Segundo
Recreational Standards for office uses. In addition to promoting bicycle use for
transportation to and from the site (which is done under both Conceptual Plans `A' and `B'),
Conceptual Plan `A' will include a croquet court (Project Area 3), putting green (location to
be determined), two half basketball courts (one each in Project Areas 3 and 4), and a
perimeter jogging/walking trail to be dispersed among the five Project Areas. Under
Conceptual Plan `B', the sport training/recreation center will serve to meet the requirements
of the El Segundo Recreational Standards as a community serving recreational use. The
proposed sports training/recreational facility will provide two ice rinks, a full -size basketball
court and an in -line skating arena. Picnic areas will be provided under both Conceptual Plan
`A' and Conceptual Plan `B'.
The phasing and implementation requirements for the provision of on -site
recreational amenities will be detailed in the approved Development Agreement and
Implementation Plan. Mitigation Measures 43 and 44 (MM43 and MM44) provide that
development of on -site recreational facilities will be in accordance with the approved
Development Agreement and Implementation Plan, therefore ensuring that recreational
impacts are less than significant.
(14) Utilities and Service Systems.
The Project site is located within an established urbanized environment. As
most of the surrounding properties are developed, utility infrastructure is in place; however,
site - direct utility connections will be necessary. Existing utility infrastructure beneath Nash
Street, Grand Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard and Mariposa Avenue includes electricity,
19 Reso. 2413
001 V
natural gas, telephone, cable television, water, sewer, and storm drain lines. Utility services
will be provided by the appropriate purveyors, including: Southern California Edison
Company, The Gas Company, Pacific Bell, Time Warner, the City of El Segundo Water and
Wastewater Division, and the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. The Applicant will
coordinate with each of these agencies to ensure that adequate capacity to serve the Project
office buildings and hotel and restaurant uses is provided.
Since the existing site is vacant and underutilized, all five Project Areas will
require water, sewer, and waste disposal services not currently utilized. The Applicant will
coordinate with the City of El Segundo Water and Wastewater Division and the Los Angeles
County Sanitation Districts to ensure that existing supplies, infrastructure, and/or capacity
are adequate to meet these additional demands.
Existing County of Los Angeles sewer facilities are located in Nash Street,
Grand Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard, and Mariposa Avenue. Adequate capacity is
available in the existing system to accommodate the peak demands generated by the
proposed development. Under Mitigation Measure 45 (MM45), written commitment from
the Los Angeles County Sanitation District or an equivalent provider shall be obtained prior
to issuance of a building permit. If any off -site upgrades are required, due to changes in the
proposed peak demands, the upgrades shall be provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy. Further, sewer connection charges and fees will be assessed based upon the
building square footage and land use, as provided in Mitigation Measure 46 (MM46).
Payment of such fees will offset wastewater service impacts.
Existing City of El Segundo water facilities are located in Nash Street, Grand
Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard, and Mariposa Avenue. Adequate capacity is available in
the existing water and reclaimed water systems to accommodate the peak demands generated
by the Project. Under Mitigation Measure 47 (MM47), written commitment from the City
of El Segundo or an equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to issuance of a building
permit. If any off -site upgrades are required due to changes in the proposed peak demands,
the upgrades shall be provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Mitigation Measure 48 (MM48) requires separate services for potable and fire
water systems and provides standards for such systems.
Mitigation Measure 49 (MM49) requires use of reclaimed water for landscape
irrigation purposes. This should reduce the public water use to a less than significant level.
20
Rao. 2413
n0l 35
Mitigation Measure 50 (MM50) provides for water meter installation fees
based upon the applicable meter size. As provided in Mitigation Measure 50 (MM50), the
Applicant shall pay the appropriate water meter installation fees. Payment of such fees will
offset water service impacts.
Telephone service is available to the site through Pacific Bell. Pacific Bell has
existing facilities in Nash Street, Grand Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard, and Mariposa
Avenue. Existing facilities will have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed
development. Under Mitigation Measure 51(MM51), written commitment from Pacific Bell
or an equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit. If any off -
site upgrades are required due to changes in the proposed peak demands, the upgrades shall
be provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Further, Mitigation Measure 52
(MM52) requires that the developer provide the conduit trench and point of entry to the site
while Pacific Bell installs the cable to the point of entry at no cost to the developer. All
additional on -site improvements shall be provided by the developer. If the existing facilities
serve adjacent properties, the services shall require location.
Natural Gas service to the site will be provided by The Gas Company. Gas
mains exist in Nash Street, Grand Avenue, and El Segundo Boulevard. Existing facilities
will have adequate capacity to accommodate peak demands generated by the proposed
development. Under Mitigation Measure 53 (MM53), written commitment from The Gas
Company or an equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit.
If any off -site upgrades are required due to changes in the proposed peak demands, the
upgrades shall be provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Electrical service to the site is provided by Southern California Edison.
Existing power service is located in Nash Street, Grand Avenue, and El Segundo Boulevard.
Existing facilities should have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development.
Under Mitigation Measure 54 (MM54), written commitment from Southern California
Edison or an equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit. If
any off -site upgrades are required due to changes in the proposed peak demands, the
upgrades shall be provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Cable television service is provided by Time Warner in this portion of the City.
Existing cable service is located in Mariposa Avenue. Prior to the cable company beginning
any work, a service agreement between the developer and cable company is required.
Existing facilities will have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed development.
Under Mitigation Measure 55 (MM55), written commitment from Time Warner or an
21 Reso. 2413
0013(;
equivalent provider shall be obtained prior to issuance of a building permit. If any off -site
upgrades are required due to changes in the proposed peak demands, the upgrades shall be
provided prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
In addition to the respective service provisions outlined for each utility
provider above, Mitigation Measure 56 (MM56) provides that the developer encourage a
high quality, efficient and sustainable development through the incorporation and utilization
of the best and most cost - effective electrical, natural gas, communications, sewage handling,
water conservation and solid waste disposal equipment and systems.
Incorporation of Mitigation Measures 45 through 56 (MM45 through MM56)
will minimize impacts to utilities and services to a less than significant level.
(15) Energy and Mineral Resources: Fossil Fuels.
Operation of the Project will consume fossil fuels in the form of electricity and
natural gas. However, consumption of these resources is expected to be marginal and will
be considered insignificant relative to annual consumption volumes throughout the City and
the LAX area as a whole. All of the potential land uses proposed for all five Project Areas
will be expected to consume fossil fuels at comparable rates due to similarities in size and
scale of structures, and will be considered insignificant.
With the deregulation of energy service providers, the Applicant will seek a
service provider for natural gas and electricity which can provide adequate service at a
reasonable cost. The Project, as required by Mitigation Measure 57 (MM57) will comply
with all applicable statutes and regulations set forth by the respective energy companies, in
addition to all applicable State energy conservation measures. The Project is not expected to
result in significant increases in fossil fuel consumption. Implementation of MM57 will
ensure energy and fossil fuel related impacts are less than significant.
It I I Is KQ Me, !I T I_ T I rA
The Project site was originally used for the production of oil and natural gas
(methane) until the 1950s, at which time the Chevron refinery, located one -half mile to the
southwest, used the site for temporary storage of excess liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in
addition to oil and natural gas production. All wells were reportedly abandoned by 1989 and
cleared of remaining wellheads and pipe ends by October 1997.
Concentrations of methane have been detected at depths of approximately 70
to 80 feet in a sand unit between two clay layers. Methane has also been detected, at
22
Reso.2413
00137
generally lower concentrations, at depths of approximately 10 to 70 feet. Particularly high
methane concentrations occur in the area to the southwest of the intersection of Nash Street
and Grand Avenue. The Project site is currently cleared and fenced.
Because of the nature of previous activities on -site, and the measurable
remnant of methane underlying the site, Chevron has identified specific development
conditions which will enhance the safe reutilization of this property. These measures include
installation of vapor barriers, venting systems, hydrocarbon sensors with alarms, limitations
on structure height and type, and limitations on excavation depth.
As to the abandoned oil well sites themselves, under state and local regulations,
prior to the release of building permits for construction on such sites, there must be analysis
by a state - registered geologist or engineer, review by the city, and development of protective
systems such as vapor barriers, venting, and hydrocarbon alarms. In particular, any
excavation done on Project Area 2 for the purposes of construction or utilities installation
should be evaluated and appropriate steps taken to preclude the re- opening of capped wells
or significant release or collection of methane during those activities.
If all structures comply with the regulatory requirements for protective
systems, as well as the Chevron recommendations, the potential for risk of upset related to
the underlying methane will be less than significant.
Because the Project is located within the seismically active southern California
region, the occupants of the Project will be exposed to seismic risks which are similar to
those of occupants of other structures of comparable size and scale in the surrounding area.
However, no active or potentially active faults are found on or near the Project site and
therefore potential hazards from ground failure, surface rupture, and other seismic hazards
are considered less than significant.
In 1996, Environmental Site Assessments were performed on the site, and
concluded that the site does not pose an environmental risk from contaminated soils.
Consequently, the Project will not create a significant health hazard or expose people to
significant potential health hazards, and no mitigation is required.
With incorporation of the appropriate construction and development guidelines
as required by Mitigation Measure 58 (MM58), potential concerns related to hazardous
conditions associated with the previous petroleum activity of the site, will be mitigated to a
less than significant level. Further, Mitigation Measure 59 (MM59) provides that adequate
gas venting and monitoring systems will be installed and perpetuated during the lifetime of
the Project to mitigate any possible worker exposure to releases of methane or other related
23 Rao. 2413

(17) Aesthetics: Views.
The Project site is not part of, nor adjacent to, a designated scenic view, vista
or corridor. It is located within an NW -N land use zone and is surrounded by one to seven -
story office /commercial structures, and is bounded by two streets neither of which is
designated as a scenic road.
The Project will be two to six stories in height and of similar character to
adjacent structures. The Project will not block scenic views or vistas from these surrounding
commercial uses. Additionally, development of the Project will create a positive visual
image due to consistent site landscaping and design. The Project will not significantly change
scenic views or vistas from existing office /commercial areas, public lands or roads, nor will
it change existing light and shadow patterns. No mitigation is required.
(18) Cultural Resources.
No historic structures exist on -site. Similarly, there are no known prehistoric
sites or objects associated with the property or located within the immediate vicinity. The
Project site was once used for agriculture and later was part of a Chevron oil field. Owing
to the nature of these operations, the site is expected to have been heavily disturbed, with
little likelihood of objects of cultural or religious significance having survived. No cultural,
religious, or sacred uses or activities of importance to any particular segment of the general
population are known to be associated with the Project site or locale.
Based on the above information, the potential for significant impacts to historic
or prehistoric sites, structures, or objects is considered remote. The abandoned oil wells and
any associated unused underground pipelines that still exist on -site will not be disturbed as
a result of project construction. Further archaeological studies are not necessary, and
preservation efforts are not required as a part of project implementation. None of the
potential land uses proposed for the Project site is expected to produce significant impacts
upon, or result in the alteration or destruction of, any historic or prehistoric site, building,
structure, or object, nor will any result in physical changes which will affect ethnic cultural
values or restrict existing religious or sacred uses within the vicinity. No mitigation is
required.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 5, 1998
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Award of contract for the Recodification of the Municipal Code. (estimated costs= $18,600) to Sterling
Codifiers.
E OMMENDED C UNCIL ACTION:
1. Award Contract to Sterling Codifiers
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute the contract after approval as to form by the City Attorney
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On January 20, 1998, Council authorized solicitation of Requests For Proposal (RFP's) for the
recodification of the City's Municipal Code. On March 5, 1998, the City Clerk's Office opened five (5)
RFP's from the following companies:
Sterling Codifiers
American Legal
General Code Publishers
Municipal Code Corporation
Book Publishing Company
In reviewing these proposals there is no one cost to compare, they each offer different levels of service and
product, with a varying degree of invovlement from the City. The total prices quoted cannot be gaged as to the
level of services expected. Nor does the supplemental or electronic software costs compare with the product
offered.
After extensive comparison, I would recommend that Sterling Codifiers be awarded the contract to completely
recodify the City's Municipal Code. Their proposal included all of the required features, plus additional bonus
features. When the process is completed (approximately one year), the entire Municipal Code will be available
electronically for search and retrieval, as well as being available on the internet.
Sterling will provide the following:
Research and legal review for conflicting ordinances, inconsistent and obsolete provisions, and vague,
overbroad wording
Comparisons with current California Code, pertinent State and Federal laws, and Supreme Court
decisions
Historical notations indicating the source and date of adoption of each enactment, with cross references
and statutory footnotes, as required, to tie related sections together and address relevant State law.
A clear, comprehensive key word index will be utilized in easy -to -read language
Supplemental services will be retained at only the cost per page , to ensure that proposed legislation
does not conflict with existing code.
Sterling's proposal best fulfills the City's needs with the lowest competitive pricing.

Downtown El Segundo Committee (DESI)
Board of Directors
MEMO
DATE: February 24, 1998
TO: Mayor Sandra Jacobs and Members of the City Council
RE: DESI Bank Account
)�l
0
The DESI by -laws stipulate that any leftover money be distributed to a 501(C)6
organization upon termination of this corporation. The El Segundo Chamber of
Commerce is incorporated as a 501(C)6 organization and can, therefore, accept
these moneys from DESI.
Q�
NX
4�d
� �l�� a N
v �Iv Y
DESI is hereby notifying the City Council that these leftover moneys, totaling
$10,500, will be transferred into the Chamber of Commerce Operating Fund to be
used to recover staff costs related to the administration of the DESI Program.
DESI was originally established through the special state - initiated Main Street
Program, which required specific structure such as incorporation, a paid manager,
board of directors, by -laws, etc. Its mission was to revitalize the downtown
commercial area. Under this structure, DESI operated for several years and
initiated several programs for the betterment of the downtown area. During this
time, it had a full -time paid project manager with funding from the City; the
organization's activities were supported by some fundraising events.
In 1992, the City withdrew its funding for a project manager with the
understanding that the Chamber of Commerce would assume responsibility for that
program. Subsequently, DESI became a committee of the Chamber of Commerce
and Chamber staff and volunteers took over all the responsibilities of this effort.
Utilizing existing staff and volunteer support, the Chamber and DESI Committee
have taken on some ambitious, multi - phased projects for the revitalization of
downtown. These include the Heritage Walk Project with its mural program,
walking path with engraved stepping stones, the benches, historical markers and
planters. A more recent effort has been to participate in a "leakage study" to
EL SEGUNDO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE • 427 MAIN STREET • EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA 90245 • (310) 322 -1220 • FAX (310) 322 -6880
To
determine how appropriate businesses can be attracted to the downtown area.
Although these projects have been supported to some degree by fundraising and
contributions, a heavy financial burden has been placed on the Chamber for staff
time, administrative expense and overhead.
The $10,500 left from the original DESI account was transferred to the Chamber
but has not been spent as of this time. As a courtesy to the City, we would like to
inform you that it is our intent to use this money as originally intended to cover
some of the administrative and staff expenses attributable to the DESI Program.
Thank you.

Brief Summary:
Background
The California Main Street Program is a State sponsored program affiliated with
the National Main Street Center. The emphasis of the program is to encourage
community self reliance, downtown revitalization, historic preservation, and
economic growth. E1 Segundo's Main Street Program has been named Downtown E1
Segundo Inc. (DESI).
The City of E1 Segundo was accepted as a Demonstration City in the California
Main Street Program in May 1987. In making this application and upon having the
application accepted, the City made a commitment to fund a full time staff
position to operate as the local Program Manager. During fiscal year 87/88 the
Program Manager reported to the Director of Planning. This organizational
arrangement is not the preferred arrangement by the State as a chief emphasis of
the program is to encourage the autonomy and. independence of the Main Street
participants. The DESI Board of Director's has expressed an interest in having
more direct control over the employment and supervision of a program manager.
A supplemental budget request was approved in the Planning Department's proposed
budget for fiscal year 88/89 in the amount of $31,500.00 for the staff person,
and $2,500.00 for travel funds for this person.
The DESI Board of Directors, and Finance, Personnel, Legal and City Manager
Departments have reviewed the Agreement and find it to be in order. Planning
staff feels this action is timely and that in the long run will help further the
goals of the Main Street /DESI Program.

Determine that the City does not protest the issuance of the new ABC licenses.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
At its 04 April 1995 meeting, the City Council directed staff to bring all future ABC licenses to it for review. On
02 May 1995, the City Council authorized the Police Department to review one -day ABC licenses and
ownership transfers for existing facilities, with no change in use or type of license. The ABC regulations

day review and comment period, after notification of the local Police and Planning Departments for review
purposes for alcohol sales at restaurants and in -room hotel "bars." Restaurants and in -room hotel "bars" are
specifically excluded from the ABC regulations which require the City to make findings of public convenience
or necessity in areas of "undue concentration." Any protests regarding the issuance of a restaurant or in -room
hotel "bars" license must be filed with the ABC during the 30 -day time frame, or a 20 -day extension may be
requested. The City has nQLreceived formal notice of the ABC license applications from the ABC, however
an Administrative Use Permit Application for the alcohol sales was received from the applicant and approved
by the Director of Planning and Building Safety. On April 23, 1998, the Planning Commission Received and
Filed the AUP approval, with conditions.

DISCUSSION:
The proposed new restaurants and hotels are to be located in an area of "undue concentration" since the ratio
of existing on -sale retail licenses (18 licenses) to population exceeds the County average (7 licenses). The
Police Department has determined that there is not an "undue concentration" of reported crimes, as defined
by Section 23958.4 of the Business and Professions Code. The ABC regulations define "undue concentration"
as 20% greater number of reported crimes than the average of all reporting districts (RD's ) in the City. The
restaurants and hotels would be located in RD #309 (north of Grand Avenue) and RD #312 (south of Grand
Avenue) which has 65% and 18 %, respectively, fewer number of reported crimes than the average for the
year 1995 - the most recent year statistics are available. The Police Department anticipates the alcohol sales
should not result in negative effects from a law enforcement standpoint. Since the licenses are for restaurants
and hotels, the applicant, not the City, has the burden of showing the ABC that the issuance of the licenses
would serve the public convenience or necessity: Otherwise, the ABC cannot issue the license.
The proposed uses are located in the Urban Mixed -Use North (MU -N) Zone which lists restaurants and hotels
as Permitted Uses (Section No. 20.36.020). The retail sales of alcohol for on -site consumption is considered
as an accessory use which requires approval of an Administrative Use Permit (AUP). The applicant has
applied for and received approval of an AUP from the Director of Planning and Building Safety to allow on -site
alcohol sales in accordance with Sections Nos. 20.36.030 and 20.72 of the El Segundo Municipal Code.
Currently Section No. 20.72 allows the Director of Planning and Building Safety to make decisions on AUPs
and the Planning Commission to Receive and File the decision. As noted above, the Planning Commission
has Received and Filed the AUP approval, with conditions (attached). These conditions limit the hours of
alcohol sales to 11:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M., except beer and wine sales which may go until 12:00 midnight,
require 6 and 12 month reviews and prohibit alcohol sales outside of the restaurant. However, the
Attorney has raised concerns that the City may be limited in its ability to limit the hours of alcohol sales.
Additionally, as of the writing of this report, an appeal of the Conditions of Approval has not been received.
Approval of an AUP requires that findings be made to ensure the use is compatible with the site and
surrounding uses, is consistent with the Zone, is not detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, any
potential impacts are compensated and an ABC License is issued. The ABC review is a completely separate
process and set of findings that is regulated by the State Department of Alcohol Beverage Control. As such,
each process must be reviewed independently, with the Planning Commission making the decision on the
AUP and the City Council determining if they protest the issuance of the ABC License.
Neither the Police nor Planning and Building Safety Departments have concerns with the new ABC licenses
for new restaurants. The ABC runs complete background checks on applicants and they conduct a site
inspection prior to issuing any type of license.
As an additional point of information, a separate item for the project; under Special Orders of Business, is
proposed for the Council's consideration and action. This item is the Development Agreement and the
Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Development Agreement, which the Planning Commission
recommended approval of, to the City Council, on April 23, 1998.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: May 5, 1998
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: City Manager
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Proposal to proceed with the Public Safety Communications Center project by selecting a site location and entering
into contract with WMM Associates for architectural services in the amount of $175,000 from Asset Forfeiture.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Approve Staffs recommendation to proceed with the development of a Public Safety Communications Center
at 325 Maryland Street, currently occupied by the Hilltop Park sandlot, or an alternative site.
2. Enter into a professional services agreement for architectural services with WMM Associates.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
On February 3, 1998 the City Council approved a recommendation to proceed with the development of a Public Safety
Communications Center and allocated a total of $2,859,089 for this project. This amount included all start -up costs
for a stand -alone E -911 system, however, only $250,000 was allocated for upgrades to the City Hall basement. The
Council also approved the release of a Request for Proposals to solicit architectural services for modifications
necessary to upgrade the City Hall basement.
On February 24, 1998 Staff met with several architects who advised that the City Hall building failed to meet seismic
standards required for operating an essential services facility. It was further advised that upgrades for compliance to
these standards would cost in excess of $500,000 and it would be in the City's best interest to evaluate optional
locations for the placement of the Public Safety Communications Center. (Continued)

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND CONTINUED:
The City directed its consultant, The Warner Group, to conduct a site and space analysis on seven potential locations
to determine the best site for the Public Safety Communications Center. (Refer attached "Preliminary Site and Space
Comparison Analysis"). The Warner Group, with assistance from WMM Associates, concluded that the city -owned
parcel of property at 325 Maryland Street would be the most viable and cost efficient site for construction and operation
of the center. This lot, consisting of the sandlot playground and adjacent picnic area, was deemed best choice given as well as the the adjacent ample parking, d s, currently zoned for Public Facilities. construction and little need for
demolition. It was furt her determined that this site
The second best choice identified in the survey is to construct the Public Safety Communications Center over the east -
side parking lot of the Police Department facility. This site was recommended second due to the immediate location
within the Civic Center, the size and availability for construction, and there is little need for demolition.
The site comparison survey identified the existing Fire Station #2 and the Water Pump House locations as third and
fourth choice respectively. Although they are viable options, these two sites posed issues with both insufficient size
and extensive demolition. Additionally, the Fire Station #2 site costs are anticipated to increase by 20% due to third
floor steel frame construction and elevator necessities.
The final three site options were not recommended for various reasons including inadequate size, extreme demolition,
extensive renovation and other probable issues such as cost and unforeseen project impacts.
On April 1, 1998, following the site evaluation and comparison analysis, the City released an amended Request for
Proposals to provide architectural services for the development of the Public Safety Communications Center. Four
proposals were received and evaluated by a qualification review panel consisting of City Staff. The evaluation focused
on experience, project approach and understanding, technical ability, staff size, time schedule, costs, and references.
After reviewing the proposals and conducting reference checks, the panel concluded that WMM Associates is best
qualified and is recommended to provide these services.
DISCUSSION:
Based upon our review of the preliminary site and space comparison study, the Hilltop Park Sandlot site would appear
most advantageous to the City, however, the second recommended site is certainly a viable location for the Public
Safety Communications Center. For these two locations, due to the American Disability Act (ADA) and Essential
Services Facility seismic requirements, construction costs are expected to range between $140 and $200 per square
foot. The total construction budget is estimated at $1,040,000.
It the City accepts the recommendation of its consultant and proceeds with the Public Safety Communications Center
at the 1st choice site, the Hilltop Park sandlot, the playground equipment and adjacent picnic area must be relocated.
As one of the site options, the preliminary evaluation comparison included an analysis of the .94 acres occupied by
a vacant 1.75 million gallon reservoir located in the 300 block of Lomita Street. This location was not recommended
due to a requirement for extensive demolition prior to construction, necessary if utilized for an Essential Services
Facility. Further, the site is too large to be solely occupied by the Public Safety Communications Center.
For these reasons, Staff recommends that this location be developed for recreational use only and not for construction
of an Essential Services Facility. This endeavor would provide an opportunity for the City to modernize and expand
the existing recreational area known as "Hilltop Park"
Furthermore, the Recreation and Parks Commission unanimously supports locating the Public Safety Communications
Center at the 1st choice Hilltop Sandlot site, in that the vacant reservoir would be utilized to increase the overall
recreational area.

Inter - Departmental Correspondence
April 27, 1998
To: James W. Morrison, City Manager
From: Tim Grimmond, Chief of Police
Subject: Public Safety Communications Center
. ILue
It is proposed that the City proceed with the design and construction of a Public Safety
Communications Center by approving the site of 325 Maryland Street, or another recommended
location from the attached site survey, and contracting with WMM Associates for architectural services.
BACKGROUND:
On February 3, 1998 the City Council approved to proceed with the development of a stand -alone
Public Safety Communications Center to be located in the basement of City Hall, and to release a
Request For Proposals to solicit architectural services. The City Council allocated $1,934,411 from
the General Fund, and $924,678 from Asset Forfeiture to finance this project. The total budgeted
amount equaled $2,859,089 which encompassed all start -up costs for the Public Safety
Communications Center, including $250,000 for necessary upgrades to the City Hall basement.
Staff members met with several architects on February 24 and were advised that the City Hall building
failed to meet seismic standards necessary for an essential services facility. It was determined that the
upgrades required to bring the building into compliance would exceed $500,000 and it would be in
the City's best interest to evaluate all potential locations.
The City's consultant, The Warner Group, was directed to conduct a site survey to evaluate seven
locations identified by City Staff. The evaluation focused on size and space available, current location
and /or building conditions including demolition needs, circulation and street access, design flexibility,
and access to utilities. The Warner Group, with the assistance of WMM Associates, concluded that
of the seven sites identified, the Sand Lot Playground Site located at 325 Maryland Street, would best
suit the needs of the Public Safety Communications Center. This location was recommended as "1st
choice" due to the adjacent and available parking structure, location, size, availability for construction,
and little need for demolition.
Construction of the Public Safety Communications Center at this recommended site requires relocating
the Hilltop Park sandlot, the playground equipment and the adjacent picnic area. To accomplish this
task, Staff recommends that the existing Hilltop Park be redeveloped. The park redevelopment project
provides the City excellent potential for immediate growth and efficient utilization of the currently
vacant water reservoir lot located in the 300 block of Lomita Street.

On April 15, 1998 Staff met with the Recreation and Parks Commission and received a unanimous
vote of approval to proceed with the construction of the Public Safety Communications Center, with
the caveat that Hilltop Park be concurrently redeveloped.
The Warner Group's second choice recommendation is to construct the Public Safety Communications
Center above the existing east -side parking lot of the Police Department facility. This is due to the
immediate location within the Civic Center, the size and availability for construction with little need for
demolition.
It is anticipated that construction costs for these two locations will range between $140 and $200 per
square foot due to American Disability Act (ADA) and Essential Services Facility seismic requirements.
The total preliminary construction budget for these locations is estimated at $1,040,000.
The third and fourth recommended sites include the existing Fire Station #2 and the Water Pump
House respectively. Although these two sites are viable options, the site evaluation study emphasizes
concerns due to size, location, access and emergency response, demolition necessities, and inflated
construction costs. It is anticipated that third floor construction costs at the Fire Station #2 site will
increase approximately 20% due to required steel framing and elevator installation.
The final three site locations were not recommended by the consultant. (Refer attached Preliminary Site
and Space Comparison Analysis for complete details).
On April 1, 1998 Staff released an amended Request for Proposals to solicit architectural services for
the design of a Public Safety Communications Center. The proposals were received on April 20, and
a selection process was conducted by a qualification review panel consisting of City staff. The
qualification review panel focused on topics including total experience and education, staff size, project
understanding and approach, technical ability, time -line schedule, costs, and ability to meet scheduling
commitments. Subsequent to the review, the panel recommended that WMM Associates be contracted
with to complete the specified architectural services.
Following a site evaluation survey conducted by The Warner Group, and the evaluation of proposals
for architectural services, Staff recommends that the City move forward toward developing the Public
Safety Communications Center at a recommended and approved site location. Staff requests action
and approval on the following:
Select a recommended site location and approve to proceed with design and construction of
the Public Safety Communications Center.

2. If the survey's 1st choice site is selected, approve to proceed with the redevelopment of Hilltop
Park including property currently occupied by the water reservoir. This redevelopment will
require a master site plan which should be completed concurrently with the Public Safety
Communications Center due to their close proximity and related needs.
3. Enter into contract for professional services with WMM Associates architectural firm for the
design of the Public Safety Communications Center facility.
Due to the current status of this project, it is imperative that the City take immediate action on these
recommendations. It is anticipated that the Public Safety Communications Center will be operational
by September 1999, however this date is dependent on the preliminary actions of the City Council.
Design and construction of the Public Safety Communications Center can only begin following the
approval and selection of the location and the architect. It is estimated that these two phases of the
project, design and construction, will take approximately 12 to 15 months to complete and will dictate
the timelime of the overall project.
Additionally, it is the City's intent to give a formal notice of withdrawal to the South Bay Regional
Public Communications Authority by March 31, 1999 to end its participation with the Authority on
July 1, 1999. Upon withdraw from the SBRPCA, the City must explore options for continued public
safety dispatching services for the period from July 1, 1999, to the date the El Segundo Public Safety
Communications Center is operational. Although contracting service is a viable option, it is in the
City's best interest to complete the construction and begin operations of the Public Safety
Communications Center near the date of July 1, 1999.

Re: Communications Center for the El Segundo Police Department
Dear Chief Grimmond:
We have completed the analysis of the seven sites selected as possible locations for the
proposed City of El Segundo Communications Center. It was a pleasure to work with your
office and the Warner Group on this project. We hope we have the pleasure of doing so
again in the future.
Our recommendations for the site location for the Communications Center are as follows:
1st The Sand Lot Play Lot located on 325 Maryland Street is the best of the choices
given the adjacent ample parking, location, size and it is readily available for
construction with little demolition.
2nd The Police Department East Parking Area is the second best choice due to the
immediate location within the Civic Center, its size and availability for construction
with little demolition.
3"d The existing site of Fire Station Number 2 is our third choice due to the small size
of the property for a Fire Station, Emergency Communications Center and an
Emergency Operations Center. The useable property is 32,800 square feet and
may not be enough space for the proposed uses and all of the parking. We also
feel traveling the almost 2 mile distance and crossing several major intersections
in during a major emergency without the use of a marked Emergency Response
Vehicle could be difficult. As we know, the first few minutes of many emergencies
can be crucial.
4th The Pump house location would be our fourth choice because of the rather large
amount of demolition needed before construction begins. The site is large
enough but does have some limitations.
Not Recommended
Our office does not recommend using the remaining three sites due to the large
amounts of demolition, extensive renovation required or unknowns within the
project sites. Traditionally existing buildings do not meet current codes and do
present the owner with a great many of unknowns or unforeseen situations that
can be extremely costly in their total impact on a project.

Description of the Work
The City of El Segundo and The Warner Group has retained WMM Associates to provide the
following site Review and Comparisons:
• Study and compare seven sites to find the best location for the City of El Segundo
Communications Center.
• Provide a brief analysis or comparison of the - possible sites within aten -day period,
based upon the information immediately av ilable.
• Provide a single page Matrix Chart for the review of the most important issues.
• Provide a preliminary estimate of probable costs for construction of the facility on the
selected "best' site.
General Recommendation
1. This review can only briefly analyze the various site criteria that may affect the possible
development of the project. The recommendations are based upon the materials and
information immediately available at the time of the study. A more extensive site
examination study would be recommended prior to the final decision by the City to
proceed with full development on any of these sites.
2. WMM Associates recommends a Needs Assessment be done for the Communications
Center. The detailed Program or Needs Assessment Study should be commissioned
prior to beginning, or as the first stage of the Concept Design Phase, in order to provide
the City with more detailed information regarding the space requirements for the
Communications Center. A projection for growth should be included within that study.
3. Prior to purchase or development of any site for an "Essential Service Facility", WMM
Associates recommends to all clients that an experienced Geotechnical Engineering firm
retained to should be done before Seismic History
purchase s
e Survey" study hmade oe site and before fu
Th is study sh rther
This
work proceeds.
This "Geologic Seismic History Survey" study will provide the client
with a historical review of sites within the area and some preliminary
information regarding past geo- seismic events and expectations for
that might be made based upon this history for the particular site of
interest. The purpose of the survey would be to uncover any geologic
hazards which have been discovered within the area and therefore
might be anticipated for the site of interest, i.e. fault lines, seiches,
liquefaction and etc.
Land Value
This study does not review the commercial value of land or property reviewed. It is
recommended that a review be done by the City of El Segundo to determine if any of the
property might have a "higher or better" use prior to beginning the development.

SAND LOT PLAYGROUND SITE
General Comments and Recommendations:
The Sand Lot Playground site is located on the east side of the El Segundo Water Reservoir
site. It is located at the north end of a small park within that same block and has an assumed
address of 325 Maryland Street.
This lot is the primary recommended site of theites being reviewed. The reason for
this selection is the following: ``
There is no demolition required of an existing structure or disruption to any of the other
• city services for this project.
• This particular site offers the most flexibility for design of the facility. The site could
accommodate a one or a two -story facility.
• The site appears to be large enough to accommodate the size of the structure in
question.
The site is relatively flat compared to some of the other choices.
There appears to be no major utility easements on the site.
The land is immediately available for construction.
A very large ample parking area is available immediately adjacent to the site on the roof
of the Reservoir structure.
The site has good street access for visitors.
Site Review:
The site location is not within the center of activity within the Civic Center, however it is easily
accessible from the Civic Center. it also has a large parking area adjacent to the site. We
find the site to be suitable for development and do not find the remote location to be a
disadvantage to the City in their day to day activities or in case of an emergency.
Some experts in the field of Emergency Services prefer more remote sites that are away from
the heart of activity during an emergency situation. This promotes less disruption and a more
quite atmosphere for a more thoughtful response. In these cases the public access is limited,
and all press related activities are generally handled away from the Emergency Operations
Center site.
• Size of the site
The site is approximately 100 feet wide and 120 feet deep. This site should
accommodate a facility from 3,000 square feet to 5,000 square feet easily if parking is not
within the site itself.
Site Conditions
The site is relatively flat with a minor slope of 4 feet from the front Maryland street side to
the rear. This slope is broken up with some landscape terracing and short site walls.
This minor slope appears to be no difficulty in the design development of the site.

2nd Choice recommendation
POLICE DEPARTMENT - EAST PARKING AREA
General Comments and Recommendations:
This particular location is well suited for a Communications Center. The Police Facility would
be a center of activity during an emergency and would also provide some security for the
staff of the Communications Center.
The location would actually be on the second floor of the existing police facility above the
existing parking area. The structure would have to be designed on combination of columns
and seismic shear walls in order to transfer the weight to the parking area and footings
below. Short and regular spacing between columns would be recommended.
Section Diagram
This type of construction is an expensive type of construction due to the complexity of the
building type, and the disruption that would occur to the Police Department. However, it can
be done at a premium cost should the City of El Segundo desire to do so.
Site Review:
This site appears to have no obvious obstruction to prevent this construction. The site is
large enough and does have the circulation space required in order to construct this type of
structure.
Vehicle circulation could continue after the facility is constructed. However a "two story"
structure with a smaller footprint might be reviewed. This type of facility construction may
prove to be more cost effective and might have other benefits as well.
• Size of the buildable area
There is approximately an area of 100 feet by 85 feet that might be suitable for
construction. This area can be used in a number of ways, however parking for official
vehicles will be reduced.
Site Conditions
The site is a parking area that serves the East side if the existing El Segundo Police
Station. The are a few windows on the second floor and an exit from the facility. These
openings would have to be addressed in some manner. The exit would certainly have to
be maintained during the construction process.

EXISTING FIRE STATION
(Located on E El Segundo Boulevard and Nash Street)
General Comments and Recommendations:
241998
The existing Fire Station Number 2 site is located in the 2100 Bock on East El Segundo
Boulevard. Currently the site contains the fire station and the burn tower. This site is well
located on a major boulevard.
The site is a rectangular lot of approximately 160 feet in width and 205 feet in depth. There is
an attached rectangular "flag lot" of approximately 60 feet in width and 130 in depth.
However
cted flag
ect to the Fire station. Therefore thee fl g lotg not
be tonne may not be available for
development.
We are assuming for this review that only 32,800 square feet (% of an acre).is available for
development.
This lot is the third recommended site of the six sites being reviewed. The reason for this
selection is the following:
• The distance of the site from the civic Center is approximately 1.86 miles. This distance
is considered negative for immediate emergency response.
• The driving routes to the site from the Civic Center would require crossing Sepulveda
Boulevard and several other busy intersections. We find this to be of concern in that
many of the people responding to the E. O. C. may not be in Emergency response
vehicles. Traffic might be a great hindrance.
• The site is located central to many large facilities and office buildings. Should an
emergency occur that would require evacuation of any of those facilities, it likely would be
extremely difficult to get into the site during the first several minutes of the event.
Development in the area is very high usage and might be expected to increase the
amount of traffic by the facility.
• The site may be too small for the development of a full Emergency Operations Center,
Communications Center, Fire Station and the supporting parking spaces required for the
Emergency Operation Center personnel.
• There is a safety concern regarding entering Emergency Operations staff vehicles as
large Fire Department apparatus are moving out of the facility in response mode.
• There is an adjacent Los Angeles County Flood Control easement on the adjacent site
that may or may not affect the development of the site. It is recommended this be
thoroughly reviewed prior to development of the Communications Center and EOC.
• The site is relatively flat.
• The land is not immediately available for construction. The Fire Company located at this
site would have to be relocated for the construction period.

Site Review:
The site location is not within the center of activity within the Civic Center, and is located
almost two miles away. We find the site to be suitable for development, but do find the
remote location to be a disadvantage to the city management in their day to day activities as
well as in case of an emergency.
Size of the site
The site is approximately 160 feet wide and 205 feet deep.
Site Conditions
The site is relatively flat and would certainly be easy to develop.
Site Development
two sides The site is easily accessible on and does not have any obvious obstruction to
successful construction. There is a Los An County flood control site immediately to
the north of the site and also to the west of the site. This may or may not have any affect
on the site, however some research should be done to uncover any possible restrictions.
Site Utilities
There is some extensive electrical development on the west side of the site. The details
of this are not known at this time and may have some impact on the development of the
site.
Existing Structure Comments:
There is an existing Fire Station structure on the site that likely would not meet any of the
current Essential Service requirements. It would not be likely that this facility would be
suitable for repair or addition. There is an existing bum tower on the site that may be suitable
for reuse, however it is located in the near center of the site and may not be in a suitable
location for incorporation into the new development.
Circulation:
Circulation into the facility would be very good. The facility could have access points on the
two sides. The site access to the south would be on El Segundo and may be hampered
during peak traffic times.

General Comments and Recommendations:
The Pump House site is located on the Northwest that as previously used for the protection
Compound. It contains a small wooden structure
of pumps and piping.
This tot is the fourth recommended site of the sites being reviewed. The reason for this
selection is the following:
• This particular site offers some flexibility for design of the facility.
• The site could accommodate a one or a two-story facility.
• The site appears to be large enough to accommodate the size of the structure in
question.
• The site is relatively flat compared to some of the other choices.

CITY HALL - BASEMENT
General Comments and Recommendation:
The basement of the El Segundo City Hall is available for the development of the new
Communications Center. This location is centrally located within the Civic Center. The
location would work well for easy access for the employees of the Communications Center.
This facility however is not recommended to be the primary choice for a new
Communications Center due to the following issues:
• The City Hall Building as it exists now, does not likely comply with present State of
California Essential Service requirements for Emergency Facilities or the current 1994
Uniform Building Codes.
• Structural renovations to the City Hall building would likely be expensive and would
hamper the daily activity of the city employees because of the noise and the phasing of
construction.
• The facility would certainly require some rather expensive electrical renovation in order to
serve an intensive electrical user such as a Communications Center.
• Installation of Fire Protection systems would be required.
• Future renovations and additions to the Communications Center space and the
equipment would be extremely limited and therefore very expensive.
Site Review:
This particular location is well suited for a Communications Center. The City Hall would likely
be a center of activity during an emergency. This City Hall location would also provide some
security to the staff of the Communications Center simply due to daily activity within the Civic
Center and the proximity to the El Segundo Police Facility.
Size of the facility:
The facility appears to have sufficient space to accommodate the immediate needs for
development of the Communications Center. However the space is limited and may not
accommodate many of the future changes or additions to the Communications Center
that might be expected.
Emergency Communications equipment is used 24 hours per day and 7 days a week
throughout the year. Because of the intensive use and constantly changing technology,
many professionals project communications equipment to have a life span of
approximately 5 to 10 years. During this time much of the equipment will require
alteration and repair. In order that systems can be changed without disruption to the
existing equipment additional space is required. The additional space allows new
equipment to be brought in, assembled, tested and brought on line prior to removal of
older systems. During this process of repair or replacement the City can provide
continuous and uninterrupted service to the community during minor and most major
changes.

Security:
Security would be very good due to the activity within the facility. It is currently located within
the existing City Hall and would however require some additional electronic security devices.
Location:
Historically, basements have been used for the development of Communications Centers.
However; basements have been problematic due to the lack of natural light, limits for growth
of the staff and limited access to other office areas. Many agencies have experienced a
much higher attrition rate of trained communications personnel, possibly due to remote
basement locations.
Currently the International Association of Chiefs of Police Design and Construction Seminars
do not recommend locating Communications Centers and personnel within a basement.

(1Q7�7
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO NEW COMMUNICATIONS CENTER
WMM Associates April; 24 1998
• Site Utilities
Plumbing is available for the space and some existing toilet rooms may be suitable for
use. Minor adjustments to the existing toilet rooms are recommended to accommodate
the disabled.
Additional air conditioning of the space would likely be necessary due to the larger heat
load of some of the electronics. This would mean new Heating and Air Conditioning
equipment or at least the redistribution of existing ductwork.
The existing electrical system within the basement would have to be upgraded and
additional services brought into the space. The existing electrical service may be large
enough because it was originally designed to accommodate at least two dispatch
positions. To accommodate the additional electrical loads however this will have to be
reviewed before the final design begins.
Existing Structure Comments:
The Police Building structure was constructed in the late 1970's. At the time of construction
the facility may have met the building codes of that particular time, but there is certainly no
expectation that the facility would meet any of the current requirements for Essential
Services. However; minor chances to an existing police facility (Essential Service)
would not by code require an upgrade to the existing structure.
It is advisable to at least review the existing structural nature of the existing Police Facility
should the Communications Center project be undertaken. After that review; a decision can
be made to upgrade the facility structurally or to maintain the facility in its present state. It
may be reasonable to make efforts to upgrade components of the facility, i.e. ceiling,
electrical and air conditioning systems. These systems may well be the most likely items of
concern and might need upgrading due to their age.
Circulation
Access from the Police Department into the Civic Center site is very good. This location
would be the best location for the smooth operation of the Communications Center.
Design flexibility for development:
The Basement of the Police Facility is very limited in space and may not have space
enough to achieve all of the items that are required without capturing space from other
functions. This is certainly not desirable and would disrupt existing functions within the
Police Department.

RESERVOIR SITE
General Comments:
The site is a rectangular site and contains an abandoned concrete water storage reservoir
located in the center of the site. Significant improvements would be required to the site. The
site is significantly larger than may be necessary for the Communications Center.
This lot is the not a recommended site. The reasons for this are the following:
• The site would require extensive site (Concrete and Earthen Berm) demolition to be done
prior to beginning any construction on the Communications Center, or any project.
Generally the level of effort on this type of site would only be warranted by the
construction of a larger structure or project(s).
• The site is actually too large for the Communications Center. The site should be used for
a larger project or as a site with a combination of other users.
Should the City desire to locate the Communications Center on this site, WMM Associates
recommends extensive Master Planning to be done. The City of El Segundo may find
additional uses for this site.
There also may be a higher and better commercial use for the site because of its size and
access to two streets.
Site Review:
The site location is not within the center of activity within the Civic Center, however it is easily
accessible site from the Civic Center. We find the site to be suitable for development and do
not find the remote location to be a disadvantage to the City in their day to day activities or in
case of an emergency. Two different street entrances could be developed if the City desired.
• Size the site
The site is approximately 0.94 of an acre, measuring approximately 178 feet wide in the
east -west direction and 230 feet in the north -south direction.
• Site Conditions
The center of the site is relatively flat with landscaped berms surrounding the abandoned
water reservoir. The earthen berms, the retaining walls and the existing concrete slab
would have to be removed prior to beginning any construction.
• Site Development
The site is easily accessible on three sides and does not have any obvious obstruction to
successful construction.
• Site Utilities
Site utilities are unknown at the time of this report.
Existing Structure Comments:
There are no existing structures on the site. However the abandoned reservoir does have
concrete retaining walls that will have to be removed.

Furniture, fixtures or equipment. The following is a partial list of the criteria that was used for the
budgeting effort:
• We assume the facility to be between 3,140 Square Feet and 4,700 Square Feet. The square
footage varies depending on the final decision regarding the inclusion of an Emergency
Operations Center within the project scope.
• The estimating for this study is based on a typical Communications facility and would not be
expected to include budget for very high -end finish materials such as granite or marble.
There is no major site grading or site development required.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Receive and file Alternate Water Supply Options Report.
2. Appropriate $283,500.00 from Water Fund Reserves.
3. Approve Proposal from Robert Bein, William Frost and Associates (RBF) for Preliminary Design Study
with authorization to execute the necessary consultant contract.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The City Council Water Subcommittee was formed to investigate the City's options concerning acquiring water
from sources other than the Metropolitan Water District (MWD). The City retained the services of RBF to gather
information on the best option available to the City.
DISCUSSION:
Attached is a copy of "City of El Segundo - Alternate Water Supply Options - Concept Level Only ". The report
lays out the anticipated facilities and costs associated with the development of a City -owned water production
well. It identifies the range of costs for producing water within the City depending on the type of treatment the
City may decide upon. It also points out the benefit the City could receive in participating grant programs such
as the MWD Local Resources Program.

DISCUSSION: (continued)
The report concludes that there is a distinct possibility that the City maybe able to cost effectively produce water
below the cost we are presently paying to MWD. The report also recommends that the City perform a detailed
study to better identify the issues which need to be addressed before proceeding with the development of
detailed plans and specifications.
Also attached is a copy of "Proposal for Preliminary Design Study - Well Number 13 ". The purpose of the
design study is to identify the site specific issues that the City will need to address in order to successfully
produce water from its own well. Table 1 of the proposal summarizes all of the tasks and their corresponding
costs. The study will be substantially completed by August, 1998, in order to meet the deadline of the next cycle
of MWD's Local Resources Program.
It is requested that the City Council receive and file the Alternate Water Supply Report, appropriate $283,500.00
from Water Fund Reserves, and approve the Proposal for Preliminary Design Study with authorization to
execute the necessary consultant contract.

The Scope of Work is based upon information discussed during our Water Sub - Committee

identifying the economics associated with developing a local water supply. It was clear that
additional, more detailed information is needed prior to proceeding with construction
drawings. It was also clear that the City desired to begin long -term planning of the City's
future water supply and to explore the benefits of increased reliability and to pursue project
funding options. This new water supply, if implemented, would:
• Reduce the City's dependence on MWD supplies;
• Reduce the impact of long -term price increases of imported water;
• Maximize cost savings by participating in MWD's Local Resources Program;
and
• Increase the reliability of the City's water system.
We envision the Preliminary Design Study to be the first phase of a $5 million dollar project.
Once completed, this study will enable the City to move forward directly into project design.
An important part of our Scope of Work will be the operation of a pilot treatment plant to
more effectively define the optimum treatment processes and costs to produce groundwater
meeting regulatory and customer requirements.

The following Scope of Work identifies the tasks RBF proposes to perform to successfully
complete this project for the City. The Scope includes all the professional services we believe
are necessary to answer the detailed questions to develop the water project through to the
completion of a fully functional water supply source.
This Scope of Work is all- inclusive, with tasks defined for a worst -case scenario. This scenario
has been defined as local groundwater extractions requiring membrane treatment before
distribution into the water system. Should our initial investigation determine that a less
involved process can be implemented to match current water quality, the Scope of Work
defined herein may be reduced, which would result in a cost savings to the City.
We have estimated the fee to perform these tasks as shown in the attached fee table. We
propose to bill the City on a time and materials basis monthly. Payment is expected within
thirty (30) days of your receipt of the Invoice. The not -to- exceed fee of $283,500 is expected
to be the worst case scenario. Should we be able to lower the cost by savings on the well driller
or pilot plant cost, we will pass this onto the City.
We understand that the Report will be required to be substantially completed by August, 1998,
to match the due dates for obtaining potential project financing. Any environmental work was
assumed to be performed by the City with input from RBF.
If you have any questions after your review of the Scope of Work and Fee Schedule, please do
not hesitate to call me at (714) 855 -3621.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Rudinica

SCOPE OF WORK
TASK IA: GATHER WATER QUALITYDATA
We propose to coordinate with West Basin Municipal Water District and the Water Replenishment
District of Southern California to obtain recent water quality information for the 400 -Foot Gravel
Silverado formations, in the vicinity of Well No. 13, which are the aquifers that were penetrated by the
well. This data will be compared to previously collected well data prior to abandonment, in order to
confirm or redefine the general existing well water quality.
TASK 2A: DRILL TEST WELL AND OBTAIN SAMPLES
We will first confirm that Well No. 13 has been sealed by visual inspection. Because the well was
abandoned in 1974, the most probable method of sealing was by filling the well with concrete. If this is
the condition of the existing well, then a test well will be drilled, developed and equipped adjacent to Well
No. 13 in order to obtain representative water samples for testing. It is anticipated that a 4 -inch-
diameter hole, approximately 540 feet deep will be required. Sampling will be performed by a certified
laboratory to ensure proper collection.
TASK 3A: HYDROGEOLOGY
Technical plans and specifications for the test borehole will be prepared by a registered hydrogeologist.
The hydrogeologist will also be present during well drilling to identify and document the subsurface zones
encountered during drilling and evaluation of potential sources of contamination. Formation samples
will be collected and identified as to material type and potential as aquifer zones. Interpretation of the
geophysical borehole logs will also be performed. Permeable and nonpermeable zones will be identified
based on analysis of the logs as well as correlation with drill cuttings and penetration rate.
TASK 4A: PUMPING STATION PLANS
Preliminary drawings will be prepared for the installation of the pump station. This pump sation will
pump to the existing City system. Drawings anticipated include:
1. Site Plan
2. Mechanical Layout
3. Mechanical Details
4. Electrical Plan
5. Electrical Details
TASK 5A: WATER QUALITY TESTING
Water quality testing will be performed by a certified laboratory, which will include general mineral
testing and general physical testing for potable water systems. General Mineral Testing will include
Cations and Anions, TDS, Hardness, and electrical conductivity. The physical testing will include pH,
Turbidity, Odor, Color, Iron, Manganese, Strontium and Silica. Due to the close proximity of the oil
production wells to the test well, the water samples will also be tested for organic constituents.
TASK 6A: EVALUATION OF DATA
We will analyze the laboratory testing data and identify constituents that will require treatment.
0024?
TASK 7A: IDENTIFICATION OF TREATMENT PROCESSES
The results of Task 6A will be used to identify alternative treatment processes that will effectively lower
contaminant levels to meet state and federal health standards. Preliminary costs will be developed in
order to rank each alternative, and eliminate the least cost- effective processes.
Previous reports indicated that the groundwater is high in total hardness,contains excessive iron and
manganese, some odor, and some color. In order to use the water for domestic purposes these
constituents will need to be removed. There are a number of process combinations that will be evaluated,
including:
Ozonation, conventional filtration, and ion exchange;
Membrane treatment using nanofiltration and possibly oxidation and adsorption
filtration;
Membrane treatment using reverse osmosis;
TASK 8A: TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
We will document the results of Tasks 1 through 4 in a technical memorandum. This memorandum will
identify the effectiveness of each alternative processes(s) to meet regulatory water quality requirements
in comparison with its cost - effective nature. Recommendations will also be made for the treatment
processes selected for the pilot testing.
TASK 1B: PILOT PLANT RENTAL
The cost for renting and maintaining a pilot plant and equipment is included in this task item. The
treatment processes selected for the pilot testing will be based upon the effectiveness in treating the well
water to meet the water quality goals set by the City. For cost purposes, we have assumed that the pilot
plant will be in operation for thirty (30) consecutive days and that the method of treatment for the pilot
plant will be reverse osmosis. Costs included in the pilot plant equipment rental are: one (1) 10 gpm skid
mounted reverse osmosis facility, membranes, media filters, and chemicals. The cost also includes
assemblage and calibration.
TASK 2B: OPERATION OF PILOT PLANT
We will operate the plant for thirty (30) consecutive days and prepare daily data sheets that identify all
parameters necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system. We anticipate that a one -to-
two -man crew will be required to operate and monitor the facility on a daily basis. Daily documentation
of the plant's operation will be performed, which will include well production, blending ratios, pH
monitoring, chemical dosage, and recovery rates. The information gathered from the daily logs will be
valuable in order to optimize the effectiveness of the proposed full -scale treatment process.
00 ?.43
TASK 3B: SAMPLING AND LABORATORY TESTING
In addition to daily monitoring, periodic water samples will be collected from the pilot plant and
laboratory tested for various mineral and physical constituents. Laboratory testing during operation of
the pilot plant is necessary to determine any changes that may have occurred in constituent concentration
due to extended pumping. Based upon the laboratory test results, we will refine blending ratios and
chemical dosages to optimize constituent removal and recovery rates.
TASK 4B: EVALUATION
As described in Tasks 2B and 3B, the data gathered during operation of the pilot plant will be used to
analyze to the effectiveness of the proposed treatment facility and to optimize the proposed process
train to maximize recovery rates.
IC WBMWD AND MWD COORDINATIONAND PREPARING APPLICATIONS FOR SUBSIDYPROGRAMS
We have included a budget to assist the City in coordinating with MAID, as well as West Basin Municipal
Water District ( WBMWD) to obtain subsidies for this project from the new Local Resources Program,
which is scheduled to be enacted in June, 1998. Because Metropolitan Water District (MWD) is in the
processes of developing this new subsidy program, we will assist the City in determining MWD's new
criteria for participating in the program, as providing needed information to the City for preparation of
application documents required for the program, which can include extensive documentation of the
proposed project and identification of benefits to Metropolitan. A budget for two (2) meetings with
MAID and /or WBMWD have been included in this budget.
2C CITY COORDINATION MEETINGS
During the course of the project, we propose to meet with City Staff and/or vendors. We also propose
to make a presentation to the City Council to provide information and answer any questions from
Council members regarding the project.
3C CONCENTRATE DISPOSAL INVESTIGATION
A key component to the cost - effectiveness of the project (especially with regards to membrane filtration)
is the potential cost of brine disposal. If the concentrate can be discharged to the local storm drain
system rather than utilizing local sewers, significant costs savings can be realized. Based upon our
experience with similar projects in the Los Angeles area, the viability of discharging the concentrate into
the local storm drain system is highly probable if concentrations of organic constituents are low. To
facilitate approval from the Regional Water Quality Control Board, we have budgeted for coordination
efforts for storm drain discharge approvals. We anticipate that water quality data, as well as a detailed
project description will be required for the application.
4C ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT INVESTIGATION
A preliminary architectural treatment investigation will be incorporated into the final report for the
project. The architectural treatment will provide a conceptual design study for the building treatment,
and will include a conceptual -level floor plan, and elevation.
0024'
SC REPORT PREPARATION
We will prepare a comprehensive preliminary design report, which will provide a complete project
overview, including project description, groundwater quality, pilot plant design and operation, alternative
process layouts, evaluation of alternatives and conclusions. The report will contain a full -scale project
concept, which will include alternative project cost estimates, cost effectiveness evaluation, proposed
process block flow diagrams, and alternative treatment facility layouts. The report will contain sufficient
information to enter directly into the project design phase, once the report is adopted by City Council.

Introduction
The City of El Segundo retained Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates (RBF) to help the
Water Sub - Committee of the City Council and members of the Public Works staff gather
information on an alternative to the City's existing water supply.
Existina System
Currently, the City of El Segundo purchases treated water from the Metropolitan Water
District (MWD) via the West Basin Municipal Water District. All of the domestic water
supply to the City of El Segundo is imported. While there are several delivery points of this
imported water, eventually it is susceptible to interruption in the event of a large seismic
event or a curtailment in MWD supplies. Also the City is at the mercy of the imported water
rates which are anticipated to increase in future years.
Alternative Development
In meeting with the Sub - Committee, it was apparent that the City was concerned about
both long -term economics and overall enhanced reliability to their City residents. It was
therefore decided to develop a most conservative scenario to test the sensitivity of the
economics against the imported water rates.
The most conservative scenario was defined as local groundwater extractions local
treatment by the membrane process and distribution into the local system at a quality equal
to or greater than existing imported water.
As an alternative a "base scenario" of the minimum one could do to render the local
groundwater potable and still deliver it to the existing system was developed. This scenario
anticipates blending local groundwater with imported water to achieve a blend which meets
all health department criteria.
The City currently owns a site with a well on it. See Exhibit 1. This site is shown in more
detail Exhibit 2. A preliminary site layout showing one alternative layout and process flow
scheme and an overall site plan is shown in Exhibit 3 and 4 respectively. This shows that
the existing City site is large enough to locate a treatment plant and a well. We would
anticipate drilling a new well with a capacity of 1000 g.p.m.

Preliminary[ Costs)
Because this is a conceptual level investigation, the costs presented herein are preliminary
budget level only. These costs are considered to be within plus or minus 35 %. They are
considered to be representative of local projects and are based upon unit cost type figures
or where more detailed studies and costs performed by others and extrapolated here.
Table 1 shows the Capital Cost of 4.8 million dollars as an estimate of the most
conservative project. In addition, an annual cost of $575 per acre foot of water would be
required (including debt service to finance and operate the system). This compares to
$528/AF for imported water today. But it does give the City local control of the cost and
a reliability factor which is non - existent today.
On the other hand, the base alternative of blending local water with imported water
supplies has a preliminary cost of 1.8 million dollars and an annual cost of $245/AF
(including debt service).
Exhibit 5 is a graphic representation of these costs tied to increasing flexibility. While the
blending alternative has the lowest cost, it has the least amount of flexibility and is still
dependent on imported water to achieve suitable water quality.
Other alternatives like an iron and manganese removal treatment facilities would be in
between the cost, but not reliant upon imported water to achieve water quality goals, but
not as high a water quality as the membrane process.
Conclusion
It appears reasonable that the City of El Segundo investigate in more detail the concept
of using local groundwater economically and for increased reliability of its water system.
The next level should gather more current water quality data, investigation of water rights,
and development of a more detailed cost estimate. The City may also decide to pursue
a Design /Build or Design /Build /Operate finance alternative as part of the next study.
In all cases, the City should investigate MWD supplemental funding for the project
discussed in the Appendix.

STATUS OF METROPOLITAN'S WATER SUBSIDY PROGRAMS
General
As of January 1, 1998, Metropolitan is no longer accepting new applications for participation
in their Groundwater Recovery Program (GRP). Metropolitan is finalizing development of
a new program called the Local Resources Program (LRP), which combines principles from
the GRP and the Local Projects Program (LPP) for alternative water source subsidies.
Approval of the LRP is expected in June, 1998. As a transition procedure, GRP applications
received before December 1, 1997 are grandfathered and not subject to the new LRP review
process; however, these applications must be executed within twelve (12) months of Board
adoption of the LRP Principles. Grandfathered applications that fail to meet the agreement
execution deadline and all other applications will be evaluated under new LRP rules.
Groundwater Recovery Program
The primary distinction between the GRP and the proposed LRP is its competitive structure.
The GRP evaluated applications on the basis of established criteria, as summarized below:
• Recovering groundwater that is recognized as being contaminated under existing
California health standards;
• Project costs must exceed Metropolitan's applicable non - interruptible water rate;
• Product water must be used in Metropolitan's service area;
• Participating agencies must increase their annual groundwater production rates by the
stated project yield;
• Each project must be able to sustain production during a three -year shortage period
without receiving replenishment service from Metropolitan; and
• Project must comply with the provisions of CEQA before approval can be granted.
If the proposed project met this criteria under the GRP, financial assistance would be provided
to member agencies on a per acre -foot basis of actual project yield to cover those annual
project costs exceeding Metropolitan's applicable non - interruptible water rate of a 20 -year
agreement term. The maximum contribution incentive was set at $250 per acre -foot.
Restrictions imposed under the GRP included:
• Each member agency's participation is limited to the greater of:
H AGR P 13 \PDATA \34369 \M W D. W PD
r
0025
5,000 acre -feet per year; or
10% of the agency's total annual consumer demand.
Participation in the GRP is limited to a total of 200,000 acre -feet per year.
Local Resources Program
Conversely, the proposed LRP will competitively evaluate applications (now termed
"proposals ") based upon a balanced assessment of attributes. Preference will be given to
projects based upon a series of ranking factors, which include:
• Readiness to proceed - projects positioned to proceed into construction and operation
on a timely basis;
• Diversity of supply - projects that increase the diversity of supply at the local level;
• Regional water supply benefits - projects that offset a demand for imported supplies or
increase regional reliability during periods of shortage and /or emergencies;
• Water quality benefits - project water quality improvements that sustain or augment
resource production;
• MWD facility benefits - projects that avoid, defer, or reduce the cost of MWD's
treatment and distribution systems;
• Operational reliabilfty and probability of success - projects with secured funding,
regulatory approvals, firm markets and superior operational reliability;
• Increased beneficial uses - projects leading the way to increased public acceptance of
expanded uses; and
• Cost - effectiveness - projects that minimize costs and maximize yield to MWD over the
life of the project agreement.
As with the GRP, the maximum contribution incentive will remain at $250 per acre -foot.
Metropolitan's Board of Directors will need to approve the weighting of these factors during
adoption of the rules or upon recommendation of the advisory committee. Adoption of the
rules for the LRP is expected in May, 1998. At that time, the rules and weighting factors will
be available to member agencies for review.
Upon approval of the the LRP, Metropolitan will advertise a Request for Proposal to all public
H AGR P 13 \PDATA \34369 \M W D. W PD
00260
and private water suppliers. The RFP is expected to be available in July, 1998 for the first
phase LRP. Water suppliers who are not Metropolitan agency members must coordinate
directly with their member agency supplier to receive the LRP subsidy.
City of El Segundo's Well No. 13
Based upon information received from Metropolitan, the City of El Segundo's Well No. 13
Water Quality Improvements Project is a good candidate for acceptance under the proposed
LRP. Because the City of El Segundo will be competing with other agencies for inclusion in
Metropolitan's LRP, primary consideration must be given to cost - effectiveness, and the ability
to reduce MWD subsidies for the project.
