INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
On 01 December 1998, the City Council opened the public hearing to consider EA -403A, the proposed pre -
approval of eight (8) public facility sites which could accommodate Major and /or Minor Wireless
Communication Facilities (WCF) as defined in the Municipal Code At the meeting, the Council indicated that
it does not feel that it is appropriate or equitable for the City of El Segundo to bear the burden of providing
wireless service to LAX and that it wants to only do its "fair share" of complying with the Federal
Telecommunications Act The Council further indicated that it does not want to allow wireless vendors to use
all eight sites at once, but rather, it would prefer to rank the sites in order of priority, with the sites having the
least impact to the community ranked first (and utilized first) and the sites with the potential to have the most
impact to the community ranked last (and utilized last) The Council then directed Staff to prepare a
preliminary ranking of the sites which it would review and consider at tonight's meeting Generally, the sites
ranked highest are east of Sepulveda Boulevard, the easiest to disguise, the furthest from the residential
community, and will have the least amount of visual impact Table 1 below lists the eight (8) proposed sites
and Table 2 shows Staff's (preliminary) ranking of the eight (8) sites

Although the eight (8) sites are ranked accordingly, legal opinion dictates that a wireless facility vendor should
be allowed to utilize another pre- approved site if the vendor can prove (to the City's satisfaction) that it is
technically necessary The Zoning Code currently has provisions which require vendors to explain why a
particular site is chosen and to provide technical documentation to support the request
It is worth noting that Chapter 20 62 of the City's Zoning Code currently allows wireless facilities on private
property, with appropriate City approvals In other words, a wireless facility could be located in the City even
though it is not located on one of the eight (8) proposed sites As a matter of fact, there are twelve (12)
existing wireless facilities largely on private property in the City Additionally, Section 20 62 140 of the Zoning
Code commits (and requires) the City to "pre- approve;' by Resolution, a list of public facility sites which could
accommodate Major wireless facilities The proposed project is Staff's attempt to implement this Code
Section
A draft Initial Study was prepared by Staff for the project which identified potential adverse environmental
impacts relating to land use and planning, geologic problems, water, transportation /circulation, noise and
aesthetics No significant adverse environmental impacts were identified which could not be mitigated to an
insignificant level, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is proposed
On 12 November 1998, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No 2431, recommending approval of
Environmental Assessment EA -403A to the City Council and making the finding that all of the potential
environmental impacts created by the project can be adequately mitigated to an insignificant level by the
proposed conditions /mitigation measures in the draft Initial Study

environmental Impacts and the findings are presented In the draft initial Study for the project.
Mitigaldon measures have been incorporated as conditions of approval in Draft Resolution No.
2431.
To review, there are four types of wireless facilities - wall- mounted, utility- mounted, roof - mounted
or ground- mounted - which can be further classified as a Major or Minor facility. By definttion, a
Minor facility is a wireless communication facility which is wall- mounted (attached to a building's
facade), utility- mounted (attached to an existing utility, such as a light pole) or roof - mounted
(situated on the roof of a building), however, a Minor roof- mounted facility may not exceed the
height of the zone in which it is located in. Conversely, a Major Wireless Communication Facility
is either a ground- mounted facility (such as a monopole) or a roof - mounted facility which
exceeds the normally permitted height of the zone in which it is located in.
The location, property owner, type(s) of allowable wireless facility and proposed maximum
height, are listed in Table 1 (below), for each of the eight (8) public facility sites proposed for pre -
approval

In order to determine which sites would be selected for pre - approval, staff met with
representatives from Pacific Bell Mobile Services (PBMS) and Nextel in January of 1998, to
discuss potential (future) locations in the City where they may want to install wireless facilities.
In addition, staff contacted LA Cellular, Air Touch, and Cox Communications for similar inquiries.
Out of the five (5) wireless vendors contacted, only two (2) vendors indicated where they could
foresee future locations. PBMS requested that the northwest comer of Main Street and Imperial
Avenue be included as a pre- approved site; and, Nextel identified three areas in the City:
downtown/Main Street, near LAX and the northeast corner of the City, near the 105 and 405
freeways. Since that meeting, Nextel has located one (1) wireless facility near downtown/Main
Street and one (1) facility near LAX Based on the information that Nextel and PBMS provided
to staff, it is apparent that sites close to LAX were highly desirable, since LAX does not currently
allow commercial wireless vendors on its property, thereby, forcing the wireless vendors to look
at adjacent/nearby cities to locate their facilities to serve LAX. However, staff did not include the
northwest corner of Main Street and Imperial Avenue as a proposed pre - approved site (as
requested by PBMS) since deed restrictions may limit land uses on the property [see "Additional
Information" section (below) for further discussion]
Furthermore, as required by Section 20 62 140 of the ESMC, each site shall include a
description of permissible development and design characteristics, including maximum height
reowrements As shown in Table 1 above the various types of wireless facilities which would be
permuted on each site is included, along with the proposed maximum height. In brief, the type of
w -e,ess fac ht� proposed largely dictates the permissible development and design
c- ,a,aotenstics as allowed by Chapter 20 62 of the ESMC. For example, a roof - mounted facility
is rac. red to be screened from view and the screen shall be painted to match the color of the
o_.c,ng and, a wall- mounted facility is required to be painted to match the color of the building,
E c Tnese and other requirements contained in Chapter 20.62 of the ESMC have been

J AND USE PLANNING
Table 2 below lists the General Plan Land Use designations and Zoning for each of the eight (S)
sites. Although the General Plan Land Use Element does not specifically mention wireless
facilities as permitted structures, the facilities themselves are considered "accessory structures"
to structures allowed within each designation Moreover, Chapter 20.62 (Wireless
Communication Facilities) of the ESMC, requires the City to pre - approve a list of sites on either
public or private property which would allow Major, as well as Minor facilities, with approval of an
administrative WCFP as opposed to a discretionary permit (i.e., Conditional Use Permit). If a
wireless facility is proposed on a Pre- Approved Site, the facility will have to comply with all the
requirements of Chapter 20 62 of the ESMC Compliance with all the requirements of Chapter
20 02 will reduce any potential conflicts with the General Plan and Zoning to below a level of
signincance

GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS
As shown on Exhibit PS -1 in the Safety Element of the City's General Plan, three (3)
active /potentially active faults (Newport- Inglewood Fault, Palos Verdes Fault and Malibu -Santa
Monica Fault) are located near the City therefore, future wireless facilities could be exposed to
seismic risks just as other developments of comparable size in the vicinity might be, should an
earthquake occur along these faults Fault rupture or seismic ground shaking could occur,
nonetheless, the effects are mitigated because the wireless facilities to be constructed will
comply with the latest Uniform Building Code (UBC) requirements for seismic safety.
Compliance with the UBC will reduce the impacts of fault rupture or ground shaking on the future
wireless facilities to below a level of significance
Two (2) areas of the City have a high potential for liquefaction during an earthquake- the
extreme western portion of the City parallel to the coastline along Vista del Mar and, the
northeast portion of the City from Aviation Boulevard, northwest to Imperial Highway, just west of
Sepulveda Boulevard Since none of the proposed Pre - Approved Sites are located within these
two (2) areas no impacts are antcipatec shin no mitigation is required
A:=-3 ng to the Safety Element of the Cit% s General Plan, the southwestern portion of the City

with standard City conditions regulating grading and drainage will reduce the potential impact to

these facilities would either be utility- mounted, wall- mounted or roof- mounted and no grading
would be required
If proposed Pre - Approved Site G is developed with a ground- mounted facility, minimal grading
would be required to construct the facility, however, runoff from the site would be controlled by
compliance with the City's Storm Water and Urban Run -off Pollution Prevention Control
ordinance (No 1235) such that there will be no soil discharged from the site into surface waters
and such that no changes in the amount of surface water could occur. Development of wireless
facilities on Pre - Approved Sites A - F and H will not result in discharge into surface waters or
ctianges in the amount of surface waters since no grading is required to install utility- mounted,
wan- mounted or root- mounted facilities
TI— .:N S PC) RTATION'CIRCULATION
Pre - Approved Sites A through H are publicly and privately owned and access to each site will be
cerermined by the terms of the lease agreement that each vendor enters with either the City or
t'e c- vate property owner The Public Works Department has indicated that access to Site A
(C i V.'ater Tower) and Site D (City Maintenance Yard) will be limited to 7:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
c ;lie weed and that no access will be available on weekends and City holidays; and, that
access will be subject to reimoursement for costs incurred by the City. Agreement to

significance.
if Site G is developed with a ground- mounted facility, the facility will have a less than significant
impact on aesthetics for several reasons the Site contains several tali structures which would
serve to mask the visual impact of the facility; there are three (3) existing ground- mounted
facilities located near the facility which are part of the existing visual urban landscape; and, the
Site is located in an industrial area where no residential views would be impacted. Nonetheless,
if Site G is developed with a roof - mounted facility: the facility will be required to be screened from
view and the screen painted to match the color of the existing building or structure; if it is
developed with a wall- mounted facility the facility will be required to be painted to match the
color of the existing budding wall(s), if it is developed with a utility- mounted facility, the facility will
be required to be painted to match the color of the existing utility structure(s); and, if it is
developed with a ground- mounted facility the facility will be painted to match nearby existing tall
structures Compliance with Chapter 20 62 of the ESMC, which regulates wireless facilities, will
reduce the potential negative aesthetic impact of these wireless facilities on proposed Pre -
Aporoved Sites A through H to below a level of significance,
wP it regards to the visual impact of the VVCF as a result of the height of the facilities, Sites A, B,
C and E will not permit WCF to extend beyond the height of the structure or utility, except for Site
E v nlch would allow an additional 15 feet (vertical) if it is technically necessary. Moreover, the
rr Y mum height of Saes D. F, G and H nave been determined by taking the average maximum

near the High School. Like Ms. Polk, Mr. Tourino also wanted to know whether the wireless
facility would impact the reception of his television set. Again, staff informed Mr. Tourino that the
wireless facility would be operating under an FCC - assigned frequency which is not anticipated to
affect radio or TV transmissions and that WCF are regulated by the FCC, not by the City.
A comment was received from the West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD) who is the
property owner of proposed Pre - Approved Site G (West Basin Water Reclamation Plant). Its
comment is that it would like the opportunity to provide specific input as to the location of the
wireless facility prior to installation of the facility and that the location of the facility should be
arranged with its Chief of Engineering and Operations. Staff informed the WBMWD that its
comment will be incorporated as a condition of approval in draft Resolution No. 2431
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Staff received a request from Pacific Bell Mobile Services (PBMS) to include the northwest
corner of Main Street and Imperial Avenue (which is part of the landscaped median which
secarates Imoer al Highway from Imoerial Avenue) on the proposed Pre - Approved Sites list.
Loon further research of the proposed site, staff and the City Attorney's office, discovered that
the suoiect site contains deed restrictions which limits the use of the landscape median to open
space Moreover, the deed states that if the landscaped median is used for commercial
p- •coses the land will revert back to the City of Los Angeles (who deeded it to the City of El
Segundo for use as open space) PBMS claims that this restriction should not apply to their
r ccsa'
since tne;, would be focatino the wireless facility on a jointly- owned, City of Los Angeles
of 1^!3 e• and Power (DWP) ano Southern California Edison (SCE) utility pole, which
I-- rin an ex stint easement grantee to DWP and SCE PBMS claims that because they
-- e fro- SCE and DWP to use the pole they do not need City approval to use it as a
v e ass facility Hovrever, it is staff s position that since PBMS is proposing to locate a wireless
- r a u ;'r, Cole within the boundaries of El Segundo, it becomes subject to the
e-',,s ano reg� aeons of Chapter 20 62 (Wireless Communication facilities) of the

SECTION 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project is to comply with Section 20.62.140 of the El Segundo Municipal Code
(ESMC) which requires the City to pre- approve, by Resolution, a list of sites that would allow
major wireless communication facilities (WCF) with approval of an administrative permit, rather
than a discretionary permit. By definition, a major WCF is either a ground- mounted facility (such
as a monopole) or a roof - mounted facility that exceeds the height of the zone in which it is
located in, and which normally requires discretionary review (i e., Conditional Use Permit) and
approval by the Planning Commission A pre- approved site, on the other hand, would allow
major WCF, however, only administrative review and approval of a Wireless Communication
Facility Permit (WCFP) would be required. Each "pre- approved" site will have permissible
development and design characteristics and be non - exclusive, such that it is available to more
than one vendor Eight sites are proposed for pre - approval and Table 1 below lists the location,
property owner and types of facilities proposed for each site. For simplicity's sake, the types of
allowable facilities listed in Table 1 also includes minor facilities (i.e., utility- mounted, wall -
mounted and roof - mounted wireless facilities which do not exceed the height of the zone they
are located in) since these types of facilities are also permissible on the proposed sites with
acmnistrative review and approval of a WCFP

SECTION 3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST FORM
Appendix I, the Environmental Checklist Form contained in the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) guidelines, has been reproduced under the provisions of the CEQA and is attached
to this Initial Study. The purpose of the form is to identify and evaluate potential adverse
environmental impacts of the project. The checklist consists of background information, a
checklist of environmental impacts, and a determination by the lead agency of the project's
potential impacts on the environment and the type of the CEQA document that will be prepared
A discussion of the items checked on the form is located in Section 4.0, Environmental
Analysis, below
SECTION 4 0 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
1 LAND USE PLANNING
Table 2 below lists the General Plan Land Use designations and Zoning for each of the eight
Saes Although the General Plan Land Use Element does not specifically mention wireless
facilities as permitted structures, the facilities themselves are considered "accessory structures"
to structures allowed within each designation. Moreover, Chapter 20.62 (Wireless
,ZcT-riun.cahon Facilities) of the ESMC, requires that the City pre- approve a list of sties on
e -e, pjtc1 c o- private property which would allow major, as well as minor facilities, with
ccc o a of an administrative Wireless Communication Facility Permit (WCFP) as opposed to a
c sc•e -ionary permit (i e , Conditional Use Permit). It a wireless facility is proposed on a Pre -
aco•cved Ste, the facility will have to comply with all the requirements of Chapter 20.62 of the
Comoliance with all the requirements of Chapter 20.62 will reduce any potential
s ...th the General Plan and Zoning to below a level of significance.

The General Plan goals, objective and policies which relate to this project are from the Land
Use, Economic Development, Open Space and Recreation, and Conservation Elements. With
regards to the Land Use Element, the following policies support this project: Policy LU1 -5.6,
which requires that all development proposals comply with the Citys Zoning Ordinance and the
CEOA; Policy LU1 -5.8, which supports the use of innovative land development and design
techniques; and, Policy LU7 -2.5, which encourages the design of public facilities and utilities to
be compatible with surrounding uses. With regards to the Economic Development Element, the
following goals, objectives and policies apply Goals ED1 and ED2, Objectives ED1 -1, ED1 -2
and ED2 -1, Policies ED1 -1.1, ED1 -21, ED1 -2.2, ED1 -2.3 and Ed2 -1.3, which support the
creation and maintenance of a diverse and strong economic base which benefits the City, its
residents as well as its business community With regards to the Open Space and Recreation
Element, the following policies apply Policy OS1 -1 9, which supports alternative funding
mechanisms for recreational facility maintenance; and Policy OS1 -5.3, which supports the
continued protection of the El Segundo Blue Butterfly. Lastly, the following goals and policies of
the Conservation Element apply: Goal CN -5 and Policies CN5 -1 and CN5 -2, which supports the
protection of the urban landscape such that negative aesthetic impacts are minimized and that
the cnaracter of existing neighborhoods and civic landscapes are maintained. Conformance with
me General Plan is a policy issue which is determined at the discretion of the Planning
Comm)ssion or the City Council if the aecision is appealed. The Zoning and Municipal Codes
,-:: r:)crate many requirements which will help to mitigate any potential General Plan conflicts.
' -e ceve�coment of wireless facilities on proposed Pre - Approved Sites A through H will not
Bath any other policies or environmental plans, therefore, no impact is anticipated.
e, development of wireless facilities on Sites A through H will not be incompatible with
uses since the facilities are considered accessory structures, which would be
approval of a WCFP Compliance with the City's General Plan, ESMC,
_ Cnaoier 20 62 and the CEOA will ensure that the facilities' potential incompatibility

3. GEOLOGIC PROBLEMS
As shown on Exhibit PS -1 in the Safety Element of the City's General Plan, three
active /potentially active faults (Newport- Inglewood Fault, Palos Verdes Fault and Malibu -Santa
Monica Fault) are located near the City, therefore, future wireless facilities would be exposed to
seismic risks just as other developments of comparable size in the vicinity would be, should an
earthquake occur along these faults Fault rupture or seismic ground shaking could occur,
nonetheless, the effects are mitigated because the wireless facilities to be constructed will
comply with the latest Uniform Building Code (UBC) requirements for seismic safety.
Compliance with the UBC will reduce the impacts of fault rupture or ground shaking on the
future wireless facilities to below a level of significance.
Two areas of the City have a high potential for liquefaction during an earthquake: the extreme
western portion of the City parallel to the coastline along Vista del Mar and, the northeast
portion of the City from Aviation Boulevard, northwest to Imperial Highway, just west of
Sepulveda Boulevard Since none of the proposed Pre - Approved Sites are located within these
n:o areas, no impacts are anticipated and no mitigation is required.
Accaraina to the Safety Element of the City's General Plan, the southwestern portion of the City
:= the coast (and adjacent portions of the City of Los Angeles to the north) are identified as
se _ ^e and tsunami hazard areas, however, since none of the proposed sites are located in
-e_e areas no impacts due to these natural hazards are anticipated. Site E, which is located
•7e eas: of the City of Los Angeles Hyperion Wastewater Treatment Plant and about 3/4 mile
eas• l,cm the coast is the closest Site to these hazard areas. However, it is above the potential

_ s a e ocateo in areas that have the potential for seismic ground failure and liquefaction,
e _,e tre oossibility of land subsidence is remote and no impact is anticipated
some areas located at the norineast corner of the City (south of Imperial Highway
Av,at on Boulevard, east of Nash and north of El Segundo Boulevard) have been
e lea as having expansive sods (specd cally Montezuma Clay Adobe), however, only Site F
s v_, n trrs area and the types of wireless facilities proposed for Site F (wall -, roof- or utdity-
-•ec tacd(ttes) will have no impact on the soil of the site Therefore, no impacts due to
__�-s ve sods will occur on any of the proposed Sites None of the Sites are located on or
ea r lis oes therefore, the potential for landslides or mudflows is non - existent. No mitigation

4. WATER
If proposed Pre - Approved Site G is developed with a ground- mounted facility, minimal grading
would be required to construct the facility, however, it will not significantly impact absorption
rates, drainage patterns or the rate and amount of surface runoff of the site since compliance
with standard City conditions regulating grading and drainage will reduce the potential impact to
below a level of significance. Development of wireless facilities on Pre - Approved Sites A, B, C,
D, E, F and H will have no impact on absorption rates, drainage patterns or surface runoff since
these facilities would either be utility- mounted, wall- mounted or roof- mounted and no grading
would be required
According to Exhibit PS -2 contained in the Safety Element of the City's General Plan, El
Segundo is not at risk from flooding during a 100 -year storm since there are no dams or
waterways located near the City Localized flooding during periods of heavy rainfall may occur
but this would be due to the inadequacy of storm drains, therefore, the risk of flooding or other
v,ater related hazards on any of the Sites is considered remote and no impacts are anticipated.
I1 proposed Pre - Approved Site G is developed with a ground- mounted facility, minimal grading
v,ould be requ.red to construct the facility, however, runoff from the site would be controlled by
roi,ance w to the City's Storm Water and Urban Run -off Pollution Prevention Control
C-c, -ance (No 1235) such that there will be no soil discharged from the site into surface waters
s-z:h that no changes in the amount of surface water could occur. Development of wireless
a_ • es on Pre - Approved Sites A - F and H will not result in discharge into surface waters or
c -_ -^ °s iq the amount of surface waters since no grading is required to install utility- mounted,
„_rated or roof- mounted facilities.
c• Saes A through H will not cause changes in water currents or the course or
_ v,a•e• movements since none of the Sites are located on a water body. Site E is
e cc•ox�aiely 3/4 of a mile from the Pacific Ocean, however, due to the nature of
es as communication systems, no impacts to water currents or the course or
_ movements is anticipated No mitigation is required
=e4
, C &:es A through F and Site H will no: affect the quantity or quality of ground
s -_e :-e :goes of wireless facilities proposed on these sties will not involve any type of
_, suc as grading or excavation Although Site G could accommodate a ground-
- .-rae no that wouid be required to construct the facility would be so minimal
c7 impact ground water quality or quantity or any other impacts to groundwaters
a- ,:,apatPd and no mmoauon is required
AIR QUALITY
- - -e co -)st,uction phase of Sites A through H, a less than significant amount of criteria
s and or odor may be dispersed into the air This might be due to the delivery of
_
materials, travel by construction workers, and /or application of architectural
-_s other budding materials, such as paint or other weather - proofing chemicals.
_ _ -=_,mere, ,' Site G is developed with a ground- mounted facility, minimal grading may result
ve construction dust, however, due to the small scale of the project [the threshold of
_ e_-: a, s,gnficance for air quality (as determined by the SCAQMD) during construction begins
a c-2 033 square feet of gross floor area and a ground- mounted facility would have zero gross
Page 7 of 13
5i �S
026
floor area) only a less than significant amount of impact is anticipated, therefore, no mitigation is
required.
During the operation of the unmanned wireless facilities, the bimonthly visits of maintenance
workers would result in negligible amounts of air pollutants associated with vehicle traffic,
however, no air quality standards would be exceeded as a result of the development of these
facilities. Furthermore, the development or operation of the wireless facilities on the eight Sites
will not alter air movement, moisture, or temperature, or cause changes in climate since these
facilities are not known to cause or affect such changes. No impacts are anticipated and no
mitigation is required
6 TRANSPORTATION /CIRCULATION
Based on information obtained from previously approved wireless facilities (EA -429, EA -437
and EA -433) the operation of these facilities will not result in a significant increase of vehicle
trips or traffic congestion since these unmanned facilities routinely require between 1 -2
maintenance visits per month (per facility) Thus, due to the relatively small number of vehicle
trios that would result, a less than significant impact is anticipated and no mitigation is required.
Funnermore, the project is not anticipated to create a hazard for pedestrians or bicyclists, since
rres• of the facilities will be mounted to tall structures such as roofs, walls, utilities or possibly a
•- cncoole wnich will be too high to affect pedestrian or-bicycle access Moreover, the protect
v not conflict with policies supporting alternative transportation, nor would it have an impact on
-a v,ater or air traffic No mitigation is required.
:�e.e cc -ten• of wireless facilities on Pre - Approved Sites A through F and Site H will not create
tc saiety from design features since the facilities would be located on existing
s __ --es s_cn as utilities, walls or roof -tops, which will have no impact on on -site or off -site
Pre - approved Site G, if developed with a ground- mounted facility, would also have
_ cac e^ nazaros to safety since the facility will have to receive the appropriate WCFP, as
c ng permit, and will be reviewed for its compatibility with existing uses and
as ..e' as for its impact on -site circulation No mitigation is required.
Saes A through H are publicly and privately owned and access to each site will
-ec e,. the terms of the lease agreement that each vendor enters with either the City
o =env owner The Public Works Department has indicated that access to Site A
a e tc..e•i and Site D (City maintenance yard) will be limited to 7 :00 a.m - 3 00 p m
- - -e "_er, and that no access wiu be available on weekends and City holidays, and that
a-ess v:dl -e subject to re moursement for costs incurred by the City Agreement
the lease regulating access for Sites A and D, as well as for the other Pre-
-__ _.ec S tes will reduce the potential for inadequate emergency access or access to nearby
ce,cw a level of significance Furtnermore, since the wireless facilities proposed on Pre -
-_c ec Sees A through H would be unmanned, they would not generate a need for additional
_= ane no impacts to on -site or off -site parking will occur
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES
c the Sites have previously been developed and are located in urbanized areas where no
_-c_n?erec, inreatened or rare plant, animal, insect, fish or bird species are known to exist.
e El Segundo Blue Butterfly habitat is located north of the City of Los Angeles Hyperion
Page 8 of 13
52
��
Wastewater Treatment Plant, north of Imperial Highway and outside of the City limits. The Draft
Recovery Plan for the El Segundo Blue Butterfly identifies two sand dunes within the City limits
which contain restorable habitats for the Blue Butterfly, however, "areas that have otherwise
been permanently altered by human actions" cannot be considered a restorable habitat.
Therefore, since all of the proposed Sites have previously been developed, they cannot be
considered a restorable habitat of the Blue Butterfly and no impact will occur to this endangered
species. In addition, the development of wireless facilities on any of the Sites will have no
impact on locally designated natural communities, wetland habitat or wildlife dispersal migration
corridors since none of these elements exist in the City. No mitigation is required.
8 ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
Development and operation of the wireless facilities would result in the slight increase and
consumption of renewable and non - renewable natural resources in the form of building
materials A slight increase in consumption of electricity may occur during the operation of the
facilities, however, consumption is expected to be marginal and would be considered
insignificant relative to cumulative consumption volumes throughout the City of El Segundo and
the airport area as a whole The development and operation of the wireless facilities will not
confect with adopted energy conservation plans, use non - renewable resources in a wasteful or
r=-ft-vent manner, or result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource. No mitigation
is •ec_j red
9 HAZARDS
^,;rng the construction of the wireless facilities, a less than significant amount of hazardous
,__s•ances may De dispersed into the air due to the application of architectural coatings, paint
_ ::eatne(- proofing chemicals However, due to the small scale of the construction of the
e es_ az l res no mitigation is required
or Pre- Approved Sites A through H will not interfere with the City's adopted
Cae-at,ons Plan (EOP) Although Sites A, B, D and F are located on City -owned
;-e ceveiooment or operation of these facilities will not affect emergency procedures
;aceit es would be mounted to existing utilities, walls or roof -tops. Furthermore, the
= e_= ;ac)ir es would coerate under a Federal Communication Commission (FCC) assigned
e _, _r1cv v,nicn is different from the radio frequencies used by fire, police or other safety-
__ aze ^_es therefore, operation of the facilities will have no impact on the City's
resconse or evacuation procedures
no Known nazardous substances on Saes A through H, therefore, the development of
e ess ;ac,et es on these Sites would not expose construction workers or maintenance workers
a^ existing sources of health hazards during construction and operation of proposed
e _Ss communication facilities No impacts are anticipated and no mitigation is required
_e e =ent of the wireless facilities on Saes A through H will not result in an increase of fire
since the potential for wildland fire hazards are low since the City is located in an
_,:ca--ized environment where hazards to fire safety stem largely from industrial facilities using
=• -e amounts of flammable or toxic materials, high -rise buildings, public gathering places, older
with substandard electrical and heating systems, and residential neighborhoods
e,soersed with untreated wood shingle roofs (Safety Element of the General Plan). As shown
Page 9 of 13
53 $ 1 027
on Exhibit HM -1 of the Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Element of the City's
General Plan, the highest degree of risk due to hazardous materials use is concentrated in the
Chevron Oil refinery area and Smoky Hollow. Although Sites D and H are located in Smoky
Hallow, the development of wireless facilities at these two Sites would have a less than
significant impact in terms of exposing people to existing sources of potential health hazards
since the facilities would be unmanned, except for the bi- monthly maintenance visits.
10. NOISE
Development of the wireless facilities on Sites A through H will generate short-term construction
related noise, however, these facilities will be constructed or operated in accordance with
Chapter 9 06, Noise and Vibration Regulations, of the El Segundo Municipal Code, which will
reduce the potential impact to below a level of significance.
Furthermore, operation of a wireless facility has been known to generate the same level of noise
as a standard residential air conditioning unit, however, such noise levels are considered
negugible, therefore, no potential impact is anticipated from the operation of the facilities No
m joauon is required
11 PUBLIC SERVICES
D =_� e cc^nent of the proposed facilities on Sites B and F will have no impact upon or result in a
mee, c, new or altered fire protection services, even though these two sites are on Fire Station
e' arc' Fire Station °2, respectively The wireless facility on Site B would be utility- mounted to
a- existing communication tower and the facilities on Site F would either be utility -, wall- or roof-
_. Similany, development of utility- mounted wireless facilities on the future 911
on facility which would be located at the Police Station will have no impact on
_ _ _- _ ----- es o services Furthermore, wireless facilities do not operate under the same radio
- es as c•ne, salety- onented agencies, therefore, the emergency response system of
e =-c Po: ce Departments would not be affected Similarly, no impact to the High School

M
Development of the wireless facilities on Sites A through H will not affect local or regional water
treatment or distribution facilities, or local or regional water supplies, since the operation of
these facilities will not utilize water. Furthermore, since the facilities are unmanned, no waste
water will be created, therefore, regional wastewater treatment plants will not be affected.
If proposed Pre- Approved Site G is developed with a ground - mounted facility, minimal grading
would be required to construct the facility which may result in soil erosion which could potentially
runoff into existing storm drains, however, compliance with the City0s Storm Water and Urban
Run -off Pollution Prevention Control Ordinance (No. 1235) would reduce the impact to storm
drains to below a level of significance No impacts to storm drains will occur due to the
development of Sites A through F and Site H, since no grading (resulting in soil erosion) will
occur
An insignificant amount of solid waste would be generated by the construction of these facilities,
however, the waste would be disposed of properly by the construction contractor at an existing
solid waste disposal landfill. No mitigation is required.
13 AESTHETICS
ce_ve =_rnent of proposed Sites A through H will not impact a scenic vista or scenic highway
s -~ce -cne exist within the City of El Segundo The development of wireless facilities on Pre -
Ac_-rovea Saes A through H will not create light or glare since the facilities would be
d m Hated and would be required to be painted to match the color of the buildings, walls or
es in which they would be attached to
_e. �, -ament of wireless facilities on proposed Pre - Approved Sites A through F and Site H will
-_ e a cemonstrable negative aesthetic affect since the types of facilities proposed (i e.,
rco'- mounted) will be painted to match the existing color of the building (if it is a
a antenna), will be screened from view and painted to match the color of the
r _ s a roof- mounted facility), or will be attached to an existing utility and painted to
=
co,_-', of that utility Compliance with Chapter 20 52 of the ESMC, which regulates the
_ - e_.j rements and guidelines for wireless facilities, will reduce the potential aesthetic
= these facilities to below a level of significance
e s ceve, coed with a ground mounted facility, the facility will have a less than significant
aes•neres for several reasons th=_ Site contains several tall structures which would
- _ •-asp the visual impact of the fac City there are three existing ground- mounted facilities
-=_r the facility which are Aar, of the existing visual urban landscape; and, the Site is
an inoustrial area where no res oenual views would be impacted Nonetheless, if Site
_ e _oes with a roof - mounted facility the facility will be required to be screened from view
c sc,een painted to match the color of the existing building or structure; if it is developed
, a - mounted facility the facility will be required to be painted to match the color of the
_ cjne :ng wail(s), if it is developed with a utility- mounted facility. the facility will be
_ •ec to be painted to match the color of the existing utility structure(s); and, if it is developed
a around - mounted facility the facility will be painted to match nearby existing tall structures
_�-ro iiance with Chapter 20 62 of the ESMC which regulates wireless facilities, will reduce the
e it,al negative aesthetic impacts of these wireless facilities on proposed Pre - Approved Sites
;�rcuan H to below a level of significance

14. CULTURAL RESOURCES
The potential for significant impacts to historic or prehistoric sites, cultural, paleontological,
archeological, historical or religious structures, or objects is considered remote. Proposed Pre -
Approved Sites A through H are already developed with buildings and/or utilities or other
structures. Moreover, the surrounding areas are a fully urbanized and developed environment
and further archaeological studies are not necessary, nor are preservation efforts. The project
is not expected to produce significant impacts upon, or result in the alteration or destruction of,
any historic or prehistoric site, building, structure, or object, nor would they result in physical
changes which would affect ethnic cultural values or restrict existing religious or sacred uses
within the vicinity No mitigation is required
15. RECREATION
Demands on parks and recreational facilities are primarily generated by permanent residential
populations and the proposed protect is not expected to alter the existing residential population
since no residential development is proposed Development of wireless facilities on proposed
Pre- Aooroved Sites A through H will not generate a demand for additional neighborhood or
regional narks or other recreational facilities since the facilities would be unmanned No
=ors required

The proposed project is to comply with Section 20.62.140 of the Zoning Code which requires the
City to approve, by Resolution, a list of pre - selected sites which would allow major wireless
communication facilities (W CF), subject to approval of an administrative (rather than a discretionary)
permit The proposal is to pre - approve eight sites for lease which could accommodate major and/or
minor facilities. By definition, a major wireless communication facility is either a ground - mounted
facility (such as a monopole) or a roof - mounted facility that exceeds the height of the zone in which
it is located in. Minor facilities, on the other hand, can either be wall- mounted, utility - mounted or
roof - mounted, however, root - mounted minor facilities cannot exceed the height of the zone in which
they are located in Minor facilities require approval of an administrative permit. Details of the eight
sites such as location, property owner and types of allowable facilities (both major and minor
facilities), are listed in the table above, Project Locations.
The eight proposed Pre - Approved Sites A through H have been analyzed for their environmental
Impacts and a draft initial study has been prepared pursuant to Section 15063 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) A Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is
proposed for this project pursuant to Section 15070 of CEQA . .

Ill. DETERMINATION: �AF%
fOin the basis fo to of this Initial Study of Environmental Impact, the planning Commission of the City of El Segundo
That the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE
DECLARATION will be prepared.
>!L That although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant
effect in this case because mitigation measures, as described on an attached sheet, have been added to the project.
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared
That the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required
That the proposed project MAY have a significant effect(s) on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been
adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by
mitigation measures based on earlier analysis as described on attached sheets, if the Impact is `potentially significant
impact' or "potentially significant unless mnlgated . An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must
analvze only the effects that remain to be addressed
I find that although the project could have a significant effect on the environment, there WILL NOT be a significant
ehecl in this case because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR
pi,suant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to an earlier EIR, including revisions
or mitigation ures that are imposed upon the proposed project.

the height of the Zone In which it Is located In A Minor facility is defined as a wireless
communication facility which Is wall- mounted (I e , attached to a building's facade), utility-
mounted (I e , attached to an existing utility, such as a light pole) or roof - mounted (but which
does not exceed the height of the Zone In which it is located In)
A Ma,cr or Minor wireless communication facility proposed on a "pre- approved" site requires
accrual of a WCFP which Is an administrative action, not a discretionary action.
Sites A -E and Sites G - H are located In the Public Facilities (PF) Zone and have a General
Plan land use designation of Public Facilities Site F is located in the Urban Mixed -Use North
(MU -N) Zone and has a General Plan land use designation of Urban Mixed -Use North
°ac,hc Bell Mobile Services (PBMS) requested that the northwest comer of Main Street and
Imperial Avenue be included as a Pre- Approved Site, however, due to unresolved land use
restrictions it was not included on the list
