1 Open the Public Hearing, and Continue until 20 October 1998,
2 Schedule the draft Ordinance for its First Reading on 20 October 1998, and,
3 Schedule for the Second Reading of the Ordinance, and Adoption, on 03 November 1998
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The City of El Segundo presently contracts with the County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services to
protect the public health and safety by enforcing generally accepted health standards Since the City last adopted
the County Health Code, several sections in the County Health Code have been amended This includes the recent
adoption of a (County) ordinance empowering County health inspectors to assign a letter grade to food facilities,
resultant from their inspection(s), and requiring these facilities to post the grade in a public (observable) place
Food facilities include bakeries, bars, food makers, liquor stores, and other similar uses, as well as restaurants
DISCUSSION,
Pursuant to initial consideration of the subject at its 15 September 1998 City Council meeting, and to enable the
"food preparation" community some time to better prepare for its implementation, staff was directed to return this
item to Council for public review (hearing) and the first reading of the suggested Ordinance on 20 October 1998
Regrettably, understanding this to be a 'fast track' item, staff had already had published in the El Segundo Herald a
public notice of the Ordinance's Public Hearing and First Reading at the 06 October 1998 City Council meeting
As a result, in keeping with its direction on September 15th and complying with State law, the Council may wish to
Open the public hearing and then Continue the Hearing and its consideration of adopting the restaurant (el al)
grading system until its next regularly scheduled meeting on 20 October 1998

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND-
On 02 June 1998, the City Council directed staff to initiate a "stand alone" Zone Text Amendment to review
modifications to the Zoning Code to change the required side yard setback for residential property from the current
minimum of 5 feet to a standard of 10% of the lot width As will be described below, the current side yard setback
standard in the Single - Family Residential (R -1) and Two - Family Residential (R -2) Zones has been in effect since
January 1996, since April 1989 in the Multi - Family Residential (R -3) Zone, and since 1993 in the Medium Density
Residential (MDR) overlay Zone On 24 September 1998, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, reviewed
the draft modifications to the Zoning Code, and adopted Resolution No 2427 (5 -0), recommending approval of the
proposed amendments to the City Council

City Council Staff Report
06 October 1998
to revise the required setbacks for the R -1 and R -2 Zones from a minimum of 10% of the lot width, with a minimum of
3 feet and a maximum of 5 feet to 5 feet minimum regardless of the width of the Lot Shortly after this change to the
Zoning Code, the Planning Commission reviewed the required setbacks again and recommended to the City Council
that side yard setbacks on 25 -foot wide lots in the R -1 and R -2 Zones be permitted to be 3 feet minimum, instead of
5 feet minimum This would have enabled the development of wider homes on narrow lots The Council did not adopt
these proposed revisions However, when the Council reviewed these amendments, it adopted Ordinance No 1257
on 18 June 1998, which included approving the Planning Commissions recommendation for a new setback standard
in the R -2 Zone to allow detached and attached garages to have zero side yard setbacks Previously, garages attached
to main house had to meet the side setback requirements of the main house (5 feet minimum) The intent of this was
to provide a bit more flexibility for development on narrow 25 -foot wide R -2 properties
On 11 April 1989, the City Council adopted Ordinance No 1137 which revised the side yard setback for the R -3 Zone
from 10% of the lot width to five feet minimum This amendment was part of a Zone Text Amendment for the R -3 Zone
which created identical development standards for condominiums as apartments and introduced the requirements for
building wall modulation
The required side yard setback for the MDR Zone is also currently 5 feet This standard was established in 1993 From
the creation of the MDR Zone in 1985 until 1993, the required side yard setback was 15 feet It should be noted that
only three projects have been approved in the MDR Zone since 1985 and all have been on multi -acre properties Thus,
revising the setback requirements for the MDR Zone would not have a significant impact on the development that would
take place in that zone because the projects would have lot greater than 50 feet in width
Prior to these Code amendments, the 10% side yard setback standard, with a minimum of 3 feet and a maximum of
5 feet, had been in place in the Zoning Code for the R -1, R -2, and R -3 Zone since the first Zoning Code for El Segundo
was adopted in 1947
Staff has reviewed the proposed amendment to return the side yard setback standard back to the original Zoning Code
language and believes it would be beneficial to the overall development of the community The City has hundreds of
residential lots which are less than 50 feet in width which would be affected by the proposed change There are a
significant number of substandard 25 foot wide lots in the R -1 and R -2 Zones near downtown that would greatly benefit
from the proposed amendment The current residences on all but a few lots built since 1996 were built under the old
10% setback standard, and, are therefore now considered legal nonconforming due to substandard setbacks The
proposed revision should eliminate this non - conformity for most of the affected properties
The change in the Code to a 5 foot minimum has required that many recent additions to homes are forced to set back
an additional 6 inches to two 2 feet farther from the property line than the existing house in order to meet the current
code Many residents have complained that the "jog" in a wall created by this results in less attractive designs than if
a wall could extend along the same wall plane as the existing house This is particularly problematic for the framing and
engineering of a second floor addition which might have to be set back farther than the existing first floor
Exhibit 1 includes the redline /strikeout text for the proposed amendments to the R -1, R -2, R -3, AND MDR Zones In
conclusion, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed modifications to
the City Council in order to return the setback standard to that which was in place in the City for more than forty years
prior to 1989 in the R -3 Zone and almost 50 years for the R -1 and R -2 Zones
An Initial Study /Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is required to evaluate the potential impacts which may
be caused by the proposed regulations The draft Initial Study /Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts was
prepared, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City Council Resolution No 3805, and,
was available for the 20 day public and agency review period from September 3rd to September 24th, 1998, and no
comments were received on the document Planning staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impacts which indicates there will be no environmental impacts associated with the

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 6, 1998
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request the City Council to obtain the telephonic answering services of AAM Communications for the purpose of
facilitating public noise and odor complaints related to the Los Angeles International Airport and the Hyperion
Water Treatment Plant to be funded by the General Expense Account for an estimated amount of $1,725 00 (3
month trial period)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Approve a 90 day trial period to establish a Hotline telephonic answering and facsimile service with AAM
Communications to respond to complaints made regarding the Los Angeles Airport and the Hyperion Water
Treatment Plant (5 00 p m to 8 00 am Monday through Friday, 24 hours a day on Saturday and Sunday
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND.
The city currently provides a telephone 24 -hour Hotline for residents to report noise and odor concerns relative to
the Los Angeles International Airport and Hyperion Water Treatment Plant A Special Protects Consultant (Harvey
Holden) is assigned to answer noise and odor concerns of residents during regular business hours After regular
business hours, telephone calls are forwarded to Police Records Division personnel
DISCUSSION:
During the past three months, the amount of telephone "complaint calls," particularly after regular business hours,
has increased substantially Telephone calls during this time concerning airport noise have more than doubled
The added responsibility to police department personnel in handling these calls has, and will, adversely affect the
delivery of services in other areas
After reviewing several options for providing a telephone Hotline, it was determined that a dedicated telephone
service could be utilized to meet the needs of the city Seven companies who provide telephone service were
contacted for an explanation of services provided and for a cost quotation The quotations received by city staff
ranged between $150 to $350 (base cost) per month and services provided by each company varied Companies
that provided services required by the city did not necessarily provide low -end quotations AAM Communications
provides thorough answering services for a reasonable monthly fee

DISCUSSION:
(Continued from Page One)
In addition to providing basic Hotline answering services, AAM Communications operators will record necessary
information on complaint forms, notify the proper authority at the L A Airport, Hyperion Plant or Air Quality
Management District (AQMD), and fax the appropriate number of reports required by each monitoring
organization A copy of each report will be forwarded to the city's Planning and Building Safety Department After
an initial 90 -day trial period, city staff will evaluate the telephone service and recommend further action as needed
A simple analysis by the city's Special Projects Coordinator, Harvey Holden, regarding the amount of telephone
complaints received by the city during the past two months, estimates monthly cost for services provided by AAM
Communications will be between $450 and $550 based on the following charges 1) $250 base cost for 90
minutes, 2) $ 95 per every additional minute, 3) $ 25 for each facsimile transaction
Funding for this service will initially come from the General Expense budget/preparation account in light of the fact
that the Noise Abatement and Hyperion MMIP accounts currently used for such services are restricted for this use
by federal guidelines
It is anticipated that at the completion of the trial period, city staff will be able to better assess the following issues
• Quality of service
• Responsiveness
• Accuracy of service
• Cost accuracy
• Projection for continued funding
• Recommendation for a permanent solution, cost, and a funding mechanism

INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
Date: August 19, 1998
To: Mayor and City Council Members
Interim City Manager
Via: Director of Planning and Building Safety
From: Airport Projects Administrator t4j`
Subject: Dedicated Hot Line for Citizen Complaints
In October 1997 staff provided information regarding a dedicated complaint line for the City
That information has changed little except for the dedicated phone service option which has
gotten more expensive Most of the "low- ball" companies contacted last year no longer exist
Many of the services providing hot line
Current procedure No additional cost Sunk cost as personnel and phone
system already exist for public service
Dedicated Phone Line Cost $1,415 The City's current phone circuits are all
oct;upied Installation of a "circuit pack" of 8 new lines
would cost $1,200 The Complaint line's share of the cost
of the circuit pack would be $150 A dedicated phone set
would cost $215
Dedicated Phone Service Five companies were contacted Charges vary from
approximately $150 to $350 per month, dependent upon
total time required to service monthly calls Set up is extra
and vanes from $404100 Estimated total annual fee for
complaint line service would be between $1,900 and
$4,300 Last year's estimated annual cost varied from
approximately $500 to $1,140 plus setup
Assumptions 1 The complaint form and procedures would remain unchanged
2 24 hour per day coverage would be required, since it is calls, not hours of
coverage, upon which rates are based 12 hours of service would cost
about the same as 24 hours of service
Companies contacted included AAM Communications, Tower Communications, Answer
California, G A J Communications, and 21 Answering Service
It is likely that the City of Los Angeles would resist funding the establishment of a second
hot line for Hyperion Complaints with MMIP grant funds.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE- October 6, 1998
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING Consent
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Request City Council's acceptance of an EPA grant awarded to the Fire Department and authorize the Mayor to
sign the Assistance Agreement to allow disbursement of funds Fiscal Impact Approximately $15,000 award to
City
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Accept $15,000 EPA grant authorization to the Fire Department for development and irnplementation of a risk
communication pilot study that includes the City of El Segundo and authorize Mayor to sign the Assistance
Agreement to permit disbursement of funds
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
In May 1998, Environmental Safety Coordinator Steve Tsumura, in conjunction with Beach Cities Community
Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER) organization, applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
for a grant to assist the Fire Department in its regulation of the State and Federal Risk Management Program
(RMP) for refineries and chemical plants The grant funds would be utilized to develop a pilot project for presenting
chemical hazards to the public, and may include brochures and other educational tools for residents and
businesses surrounding chemical plants The $15,000 grant represents approximately 55% of the anticipated costs
of the project, with the remaining 45% from a soft match, consisting of budgeted staff time for project management
and in -kind services from the CAER organization
The principle objective of this local risk communication project is to develop and provide communication tools that
promote an open dialogue regarding the chemical hazards existing in the communities within the pilot study area of
the southwestern portion of Los Angeles County This effort will be coordinated with the Local Emergency Planning
Committee (LEPC), Beach Cities and South Bay Community Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER)
organizations and agencies representing the pilot study area The agencies may include Los Angeles County Fire
Department, Los Angeles City Fire Department, Governor's Office of Emergency Services, El Segundo Fire
Department and various other emergency response agencies
The subordinate objective of this project includes the development of relationships between residents and
businesses within the community This relationship could be fostered through proposed public meetings, with
company representatives and third party consultants providing simplified information to the public The information
provided could stimulate dialog between community members and chemical plants, resulting in further
communication
The Fire Department was notified in late August that our application was being considered for funding On
September 9, 1998, an Assistance Agreement was received that requires signature and must be returned to the
EPA for funds to be disbursed The $15,000 in grant funds will cover over half of the projected cost of the project,
with a remaining soft match provided by CAER and the Fire Department in the form of project management
oversight, printing, consultation services and other in -kind services The grant will also assist the Department in
meeting State and Federal requirements for the regulation of refineries and chemical plants pursuant to the
California Accidental Release Prevention Program

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
(REVISED 6/19/1998 WITH FORM 424A)
OBJECTIVE
The principle objective of this local risk communication project is to develop and provide
communication tools that promote an open dialogue regarding the chemical hazards
existing in the communities within the pilot study area of the southwestern portion of
Los Angeles County, California This effort will be coordinated with the Local
Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC), Beach Cities and South Bay Community
Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER) organizations and agencies representing
the pilot study area The agencies may include Los Angeles County Fire Department,
Los Angeles City Fire Department, Governor's Office of Emergency Services, El
Segundo Fire Department and various other emergency response agencies
Because the pilot area encompasses communities with residents speaking various
languages, communication will be especially difficult and may require translation of both
verbal and written material Demographic information indicates Spanish and Asian
languages are predominantly spoken near many of the refineries in the study area For
this reason, the project is being conducted as a pilot program, focusing on the most
impacted areas of Los Angeles County, including Torrance, Los Angeles, Carson, and El
Segundo
A subordinate objective of this project includes the development of relationships between
residents and businesses that impact the community This relationship could be fostered
through proposed public meetings, with company representatives and third party
consultants providing understandable information to the public. The information
provided could stimulate dialog between community members and cherrncal plants,
resulting in further communication
Based on information generated from the Environmental Defense Fund's "The Chemical
Scorecard"', Los Angeles County is the largest pollution source in California at
11,733,354 pounds in 1995. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency recently
announced that the second leading source of pollution in the local area comes from an El
Segundo Refinery
RESULTS OR BENEFITS
It's anticipated that as many as 1 million residents will benefit from the information
generated, based on the combined populations of the pilot area With the development of
various educational tools for disseminating Risk Management Plan (RMP) information,
communities will be better able to act upon notification of chemical incidents and to
understand the various health effects associated with nearby chemical processes Other
portions of the community will also benefit through enhanced participation with
industrial representatives, developing points of contact for further information, or by
conveying personal issues related to industrial emissions or releases
00085
APPROACH
A. Detailed Workplan
The RMP pilot Risk Communication Workplan incorporates three (3) deliverables
that will help the community understand the RMP program, learn what information is
contained in an RMP, and how to access RMPs and other Emergency Planning and
Community Right -to -Know information The following deliverables will be
coordinated in conjunction with the LEPC and local agencies.
1 DELIVERABLE 1 - OUTREACH MATERIAL
Brochures, newspaper articles /notices, and other informational tools will be
designed and developed through the El Segundo Fire Department and various
agencies that work in conjunction with the LEPC. Information will also be
coordinated with Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPA) through routine
coordination meetings and subcommittees
Information will explain the RMP program, chemical hazards in industry, and
sources for further information This information will be distributed throughout
the pilot study area, and quantitatively measured, based on response level It is
anticipated that the world -wide web will also be incorporated as a tool for
distributing this information, either through a website, or agency internet address
Other media such as radio, television and print will also be explored for public
outreach opportunities
2 DELIVERABLE 2 - PUBLIC OUTREACH EVENT
At least one public outreach event will be held for the pilot community, focusing
on fixed facilities that pose hazards to the surrounding area Representatives from
refineries and chemical plants will be invited to participate on a panel discussion
with technical experts, including representatives from academia, government and
private consulting It's anticipated at least five (5) industry representatives will be
available to speak on the panel discussion These companies include Mobil,
Chevron, AlliedSignal, Union Carbide and Dow Chemical
The event will be located within driving distance of any community within the
pilot area Public facilities will be prioritized based on accommodations and
availability If no facilities are available through agencies, non - profit
organizations will be solicited for assistance in hosting the event If there are no
other locations available, meeting rooms will be considered in those areas most
impacted by chemical plants or refineries.
In regard to format, major hazards for the pilot area will be assessed, with
technical documentation gathered on specific chemicals or physical hazards
Approximately 1 hour will be dedicated to an explanation of the RMP, from both
an agency and business perspective Another hour will be dedicated to identify
the major hazards of the area from a health -based standpoint This will include a
presentation from a technical expert in the field of risk assessment, engineering,
0008G
toxicology or combination of specialties The final hour will be dedicated to a
panel discussion of the major chemical handlers with a question and answer
period following A total of three(3) hours will be dedicated to the RMP Public
Outreach event(s)
3 DELIVERABLE 3 — "HOW -TO" MANUAL
The final deliverable will include a report of each activity related to the
development of the pilot study The documentation will include copies of
applicable brochures, tapes of press releases, articles, and other outreach material
Other information, such as a list of resources, contacts and business
representatives will be included to assist other agencies in developing a similar
program for their community It is anticipated at least 75 copies of the report will
be generated at approximately 50 pages each

F. Sampling and Data Collection
Data collected will represent a biased representation based on a pilot population in the
southwestern portion of Los Angeles County Statistical data will be generated to
determine effectiveness of risk communication program and areas lacking response
Evaluations will be conducted through community surveys and will rate the
effectiveness of communication This information will be gathered and reported in
the "How -to" manual, assessing performance and areas of improvement
No biological or chemical data will be generated as a result of this project
00088
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION
a. Types of Data Collected
In general, two forms of data will be generated as a result of this project. The
data will be subjective, based on the interpretation of representative individuals
from the community, and will consist of issues related to an industrialized portion
of Los Angeles County
The first type of data will assess the information needs of the community by
soliciting individuals through random surveys and existing documentation
gathered from previous reports
Another type of data that will be gathered includes the effectiveness of the Risk
Communication Program This will include a survey of Public Outreach Event
attendees and analysis of the attitudes before and after the event.
b Discussion
1 Effect on Other Work Planned, Anticipated, or Underway
The proposed activities do not duplicate any existing or proposed agency
activities in the Los Angeles County area The California Office of
Emergency Services and Contra Costa County have also applied for a grant
with EPA and will be contacted for coordination and solicitation of input
during the development and implementation of the Risk Communication Pilot
Study The CAER organization, a private, non - profit organization, is also
providing portions of a risk communication program on behalf of each of their
individual companies and will be requested to participate on panel discussions
during the Public Outreach Event.
