Family Residential (R -1) Zone, and, a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Environmental Assessment EA -465 and Zone Text Amendment ZTA 98 -7 Applicant City of EI Segundo COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Hold Public Hearing, 2) Discussion, 3) First reading of Ordinance (by title only), 4) Schedule second reading and Adoption for 19 January 1999, and /or 5) Other possible /direction INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: On 20 October 1998, the City Council directed Staff to initiate a "stand alone" Zone Text Amendment to review modifications to the Zoning Code to consider revising the Zoning Code to permit attached garages in the rear one -third of 25 -foot wide lots in the Single - Family Residential (R -1) Zone to have a zero side yard setback on one interior side lot line (Section 20 20 060 D 2 ) As will be described below, the current Zoning Code requires garages attached to a dwelling unit to be a minimum distance of three (3) feet from side property lines on 25 -foot wide lots in the Single Family Residential (R -1) Zone The proposed revision would duplicate the current standard for 25 -foot wide lots in the Two - Family Residential (R -2) Zone which permits attached garages to have a zero side yard setback in the rear one -third of the lot On 10 December 1998, the Planning Commission held a public hearing, reviewed the draft modifications to the Zoning Code, and, adopted Resolution No 2434 (5 -0), recommending approval of the proposed amendments to the City Council DISCUSSION (Continued on next page ) ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: !i A City Council Draft Ordinance No B Approved Planning Commission Minutes, 10 December 1998 C Zone Text Amendments (as recommended by Planning Commission), dated 05 January 1999 D Planning Commission Resolution No 2434 E Map of Affected R -1 Zone Properties F Letter from Cheryl Vargo, dated 14 October 1998 G Draft Initial Study /Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts FISCAL IMPACT: None ORIGINATED BY Date 21 December 1998 Date: ,i 270 3 EA -465, ZTA 98 -7 Page 2 City Council Staff Report 05 January 1999 DISCUSSION (Continued) On 18 June 1996, the City Council adopted Ordinance No 1257 which included a Zone Text Amendment to revise the required setbacks in the R -2 Zone to allow attached garages to be located on a side property line on 25 -foot wide lots on the rear one -third of the property The purpose of this amendment was to provide additional design flexibility for construction on narrow properties This was seen as especially useful, considering that, at that time, the required side yard setback for residential zones was a minimum of 5 feet, regardless of the width of the lot Previously, garages attached to the main house had to meet the side setback requirements of the main house (5 feet minimum) On 20 October 1998, the City Council adopted Ordinance No 1288, which revised the required side yard setback for residential properties This amendment eliminated the 5 -foot minimum setback, regardless of lot width, and, returned the Zoning Code to the pre -1996 minimum setback to 10% of the width of the lot with a minimum of 3 feet to a maximum of 5 feet Prior to the implementation of these Code amendments in 1996, 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 Under the current Zoning Code requirements in the R -1 Zone, a two car garage must be a minimum of 20 feet wide, even on 25 -foot wide substandard lots It is not possible to build an attached two -car garage on a 25 -foot wide lot and still maintain the minimum required 3 -foot setbacks on each side of the garage As a result, all garages would have to be detached from the house in order to meet the setback requirements The proposed amendment would provide relief from this situation by Allowing a 20 -foot wide garage to have zero setback on one side and five feet on the other side property line while being attached to a house instead of detached from a house Staff has reviewed the proposed amendment to apply the current R -2 side yard setback exemption for attached garages to the R -1 Zone and believes it would be beneficial to the overall development of the community The City has 54 R -1 lots with 25 -foot setbacks, which would potentially be affected by the proposed setback revision These are located on the 400 and 500 blocks of Eucalyptus Drive and were originally created in 1911 Of these 54 lots, 18 are currently combined into larger 50 -foot wide lots through common ownership of two abutting 25 -foot wide lots Therefore, the proposed revisions would more directly effect only 36 properties, which are the single 25 -foot wide lots with a single - family dwelling unit upon them, although the "combined" lots could be re- established by demolishing the existing structures which straddle the property line Exhibit 1 includes the redline /strikeout text for the proposed amendments to the R -1 Zone In conclusion, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed modifications to the City Council in order to provide the design flexibility to the R -1 Zone which is already provided in the R -2 Zone ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW 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 November 201" to December 10'", 1998, and no comments were received on the document The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts which indicates there will be no environmental impacts associated with the project p \zoning \ea465 \ea465 ais 271 ORDINANCE NO. _ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO.

emphasis given on the caretaking aspects. Vice -Chair Wycoff asked if there is any data on how many caretaker units exist in Smoky Hollow? Ms Jester stated they are compiling this information for the census Ms Jester stated this facility is one of the largest in Smoky Hollow and is different from other facilities in that it has potential for theft and there is greater public access Chairman Crowley stated when a new housing unit is established in town, fees are assessed such as library, park and school impact fees. Mr Garry stated the police, fire and library fees would be approximately $240 There would be no school fees since the project is west of Sepulveda, and the City has not adopted park fees Vice -Chair Wycoff stated rather than being detrimental, this caretaker facility would enhance the public's security and safety He asked about the black glass requirement on the living area? Ms Jester stated they are willing to work with the applicant, Staff's concern is architectural compatibility Mr Amestoy stated this would be acceptable Commissioner Boulgandes asked why units are limited at 500 square feet in Smoky Hollow? Ms Jester stated the original Smoky Hollow Specific Plan did not have a limit When they were going through the Zone Text Amendments about 1 1/2 — 2 years ago, Staff suggested that the Commission and Council put a square footage limit The Council was concerned that they wanted caretaker units to be just an accessory type of use with smaller facilities Vice -Chair Wycoff moved to adopt Resolution No 2436, a Resolution of the MOTION Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo, California, approving Environmental Assessment EA -450, Variance 98 -2, and Smoky Hollow Site Plan 98 -1 to allow the construction of a 1220 square foot caretaker unit at 1017 East El Segundo Boulevard Petitioned by Storage USA Commissioner Palmer seconded Passed 5 -0 Chairman Crowley Presented Item C, EA -465 (Zone Text Amendment ZTA 98 -7) EA -465 Applicant City of El Segundo Assistant Planner Paul Garry presented the Staff Report as outlined in the Agenda Packet. Chairman Crowley stated the following situations are covered in the UBC A roof on the edge of someone else's lot has to slope away from that lot, no windows and no openings at all are allowed in the wall that has a 0 setback from the sideyard, and no shared walls are allowed between two adjacent properties Vice -Chair Wycoff asked if the walls would be allowed to physically touch'? Ms Jester stated there would have to be an air gap 12 -1 Omm PC 7 2 7 ,l Commissioner Palmer asked if there has been any concern from the Fire Department being able to get a gurney in or out of the lot with respect to the 3 foot side setback? Mr Garry stated they had the Fire Department address this issue and were confident they could get around the house from the other side if the garage was all the way to the side property line Chairman Crowley opened the public hearing Liz Garnholz, El Segundo She stated she spoke to Chief Nielson regarding the gurney clearance, with the gurney being 22 inches and the side setback at 36 inches, and he felt it was inadequate Commissioner Boulgandes stated when moving a gurney, you are usually at the head and bottom of the gurney, not on the side Ms Garnholz stated when she bought her home, she chose R -1 because she grew up in a heavily densely populated area, the Brownstones of Chicago Having the garage attached to "pastel boxcars" on the 25 foot lots is unsafe and a dead end is formed. The City of Hawthorne has a 3 5 setback and if you have a detached garage, it is OK to touch the property line However, if it is attached, the house and the garage have to line up The City of Manhattan Beach has a 3 foot setback and if the garage is attached, it has to line up with the house If it is detached, there are two situations There is either a 3 foot setback lining up at the house or there is no setback El Segundo seems to be a "pushover" in letting these attached garages make the 90 degree turn and go to the neighbor's property She feels R -1 is different from R -2 where you have a little bit of "elbow room" Jamming a garage next to your neighbor in an R -1 is wrong Neighbors do numerous things in their garages such as practicing music, sawing, drilling and working on cars She asked if there is a block in town that doesn't have an illegal unit when it comes to R -1 zonmg9 She feels El Segundo fails in providing its citizens with a true R -1 neighborhood Commissioner Palmer feels her block, the 800 block of Maryland, doesn't have any illegal units She would prefer the back third of her lot have a garage or structure facing it rather than a tree which overhangs and shades her yard Commissioner Boulgandes feels this doesn't increase density and on the other side there would be more open space It would create no dead space and more privacy in the back of the lot Chairman Crowley closed the public hearing Commissioner Palmer agreed with Commissioner Boulgandes and is favor of the Resolution 12 -10mm PC 8 2 7b Vice -Chair Wycoff feels this is a step in the direction toward consistency and equal treatment Chairman Crowley stated they are talking about three blocks worth of houses and all have alleys and must use alley access to get into the garages, with the garages always being in the back third of the lot Commissioner Palmer moved to adopt EA -465 Zone Text Amendment ZTA 98 -7 MOTION Commissioner Boulgandes seconded Passed 5 -0 Ms Jester stated this Item will be forwarded to the City Council for their meeting of January 5, 1999 Ms Jester stated the Commission received information on the upcoming parade REPORT FROM this Sunday, December 13, 1998 Please RSVP to the Chamber as soon as DIRECTOR possible The Commission also received a copy of the City Council Agenda for this coming Tuesday, December 15, 1998 The action for the Kings /Lakers Sports Training Facility is on the Agenda The Zone Text Amendment for Signs, the second reading, will also be going to the Council There will be a report on the implementation of the Downtown Task Force recommendations and a proposed interim Zoning Ordinance to prohibit non -retail and non - restaurant development in the 300 and 400 blocks of Downtown Main Street as well as on the Ralph's site The Planning Commission Item requested having the 6 pm meetings instead of 7 pm will also be on the Agenda along with two Alcoholic Beverage Control Licenses, one for New York Food Company and one for Good Stop Market The Director, Bret B Bernard, is out of the Country Commissioner Boulgandes stated Staff did a great fob compiling information for this COMMENTS meeting. He credited Chairman Crowley for moving through so quickly on a busy FROM THE Agenda and feels he is doing a great fob He wished Staff, the Commissioners and COMMISSION the public a safe and sane happy holiday season Commissioner Palmer is appreciative of the City of El Segundo and the courtesy of the Police Department. She called in with a complaint and they came out and did a thorough lob She is not sure if she can make the parade, but is appreciative of the work that goes into it and thanked the City for all its benefits She also thanked Chairman Crowley Commissioner Kretzmer also congratulated Chairman Crowley on the great job of his leadership Vice -Chair Wycoff agreed Chairman Crowley stated they now have a suggestion of another Zoning Text change for Smoky Hollow concerning the caretaker units and the proportionality of their size to the proportion of the lot Also, with R -2 there are two different densities allowed depending on the size of the lot and therefore, someone with a large lot will simply subdivide the lot to make sure they have several small lots There will never 12 -1 Omm PC 9 277 EA- 465/ZTA 98 -7 Page 1 of 2 DRAFT AMENDMENTS - JANUARY 5, 1999 SIDE YARD SETBACKS - EXHIBIT 1 CHAPTER 20.20 SINGLE- FANIILY RESIDENTIAL (R -1) ZONE 20.20 060 SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS D Setbacks I Front and rear yard.

Main Street E1 Segundo, CA 90245 Re:� Zoning Code Amendment Oear Laurie: As part of the City's review of the zoning code, we would like to request that you consider amending Section 20.20.060D.2. Setbacks - side yard for the R -1 Zone. We feel that a provision should be included (similar to the R -2 standards) which permits "attached garages on 25 foot wide lots only, located on the rear one -third of the lot, are allowed zero setback on one interior side lot line ". As we know, these narrow 25' legal lots pose severe design con- straints on the reasonable development of these parcels. As the Code is written today, the garage cannot be attached because there is insufficient lot width to provide the miniumum garage width with a 3' side yard on both sides. A zero side yard would allow for greater design flexibility for the overall improvements on the lot including compensation elsewhere on the property so as not to result in impacts to adjoining properties. This request seems reasonable as these narrow lots are only in one up cific area of the City and are generally in the vicinity of grater density lots. Thank you for your consideration of this request. We understand that you will place this on the next agenda.

General Plan Amendment 98 -2. and Zone Change 98 -2 Address: 360 Richmond Street (Southeast corner of Holly Avenue and Richmond Street) Applicant: James R. Obradovich Property Owner: Delia Kenny REQUEST The application is a request to amend the General Plan and Zoning Map to change the Land Use designation from Downtown Commercial to Multi - Family Residential, and change the Zoning from Downtown Commercial (CRS) to Multi -Family Residential (R -3), for a 17,500 square foot (125' x 140') vacant lot The site has no previous development history The proposed General Plan Amendment 98 -2, Zone Change 98 -2, and EA-447 are necessary to consider land uses other than the Downtown Commercial now designated for the site The requested change would facilitate the future construction of condominiums pursuant to Section 20 24 et seq of the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) A tentative tract map for the future condominium development will be submitted for Planning Commission review at a later date if the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change is approved The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council on the proposal RECOMMENDATION Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing, discuss the proposed protect and continue the request for General Plan Amendment 98 -2, Zone Change 98 -2 and EA 447 until the Planning Commission meeting of December 10, 1998 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed amendments would alter the Land Use Designation and Zoning of five (5) small parcels on Richmond Street from Downtown Commercial to Multi -Family Residential The preliminary site plan submitted with the Amendment application is for construction of a ten- (10) unit residential condominium on the site The issues related to the application are discussed below 1 r �0 2 3� The 17,500 square foot vacant is located at the southeast corner of Richmond Street and Holly Avenue, divided into five (5) 25 foot wide by 140 foot deep lots fronting on Richmond Street It is vacant, approximately square shaped, with no approved uses on the site A review of City records indicated no prior development on the site. The site slopes down approximately 14 feet from east to west, and mature eucalyptus trees border the site along Holly Avenue and Richmond Street There are no sidewalks on Richmond Street or Holly Avenue abutting the subject property The rear of the lot (easterly boundary) is common with the 20 foot wide alley that serves the surrounding commercial district The site has been use as a parking area for the shops that front Main Street and the adjacent apartment building to the south SURROUNDING AREA CHARACTERISTICS The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change is located within the northwest portion of the City of El Segundo, with Multi- family Residential (R -3) development to the north and northwest, and Downtown Commercial (C -RS) surrounding the site on three (3) sides (west, east, and south) The site has access off an alley to the east, which would provide access for a future residential development The site is currently vacant, the land slopes down from east to west, is unpaved, contains no geologic features, and is nearly square in shape The adjacent land uses immediately east of the site across the alley are a mix of office, retail, and restaurant uses The use directly to the west across Richmond Street is a church /pre - school facility Across Holly Avenue, to the north is a Multi- Family Residential (R -3) neighborhood, more specifically a condominium development, with its access off the alley to the rear of the site To the northwest of the project site are older apartments and duplexes, also in the R -3 Zone. Immediately south of the site is a vintage apartment budding, (previously a boarding house). A surface parking lot and commercial uses continue to the south along Richmond Street The primary occupancy of the commercially zoned and used property on this block of Richmond Street was operated by Ralph's grocery store, which is now vacant Land Use Zone North: Condominiums Multi - Family Residential (R -3) South: Apartment building Downtown Commercial (C -RS) East: Main Street business, alley Downtown Commercial (C -RS) West: Church /pre- school Downtown Commercial (C -RS) ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW An Initial Study /Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is required to evaluate the potential impacts that may be caused by the proposed amendments Based on the information found in the Initial Study, there is no anticipated impacts associated with General Plan Amendment 98 -2 and Zone Change 98 -2 A Negative Declaration requires a minimum 20 -day public notice and circulation period, October 28, 1998, is the final day for comment on the Initial Study 303 INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS The project Initial Study and Negative Declaration is currently being circulated for comments. No comments have been received at this time, however any comments received from the Departments will be distributed prior to the Planning Commission meeting. PURPOSE AND ANALYSIS The City of El Segundo General Plan designates the vacant parcel as Downtown Commercial Its intent "is to provide an integrated community serving commercial area downtown" and provide for the needs of the residents. Community serving retail and community serving office uses are permitted The Downtown Commercial designation limits residential uses to 10 units per acre above commercial uses on the first floor. The application presented for your review would change the General Plan designation to allow for strictly multi - family residential development at 27 dwelling units per acre. The entire block has a General Plan Designation of Downtown Commercial. The Zone change request would modify the Zoning on the site, consistent with the proposed General Plan Amendment. It would become zoned Multi -Family Residential (R -3) which allows up to 27 dwelling units to the acre The building area of a particular parcel determines the number of units allowed Section 20.24 060 F defines the conditions under which the density is calculated as follows 1 On property of 15,000 square feet or less in size, one unit for every 1,613 square feet of lot area is allowed 2 On property greater than 15,000 square feet in size, one unit for every 2,420 square feet of lot area is allowed .... The applicant, by dividing the parcels into two separate lots maximizes the allowable density. A preliminary site plan submitted with the application indicates ten (10) condominiums on the five (5)- combined parcels totaling 17,500 square feet The applicant will take advantage of the maximum density by creating two (2) parcels of equal size (less than 15,000 square feet) to accommodate five (5) condominiums on each lot The lot line on the site plan illustrates the subdivision into two (2) lots with five (5) condominiums each. Had the applicant used sub - section (2) (above) as a single parcel of 17,500 square feet the site would accommodate seven (7) units. The five (5) parcels will be combined and re- subdivided into two (2) parcels of equal size, each of which would meet the minimum requirements for R -3 lots Minimum lot size* 7,000 square feet per lot Proposed lot size: 8,750 square feet per lot Minimum lot width* 50' Proposed lot width. 62.50 In part, the purpose of the Downtown Commercial (C -RS) Zone states: "Regulations are designed to stabilize and protect the commercial retail- service character of the downtown area, and to create a favorable environment for pedestrian circulation and access. Principle uses are, therefore, restricted to commercial retail - service uses, and certain essential and complimentary 304 uses as permitted under the conditional use permit." Simultaneous with the requested Amendments is the recent vacating of Ralph's Grocery store and the establishment of a Downtown Task Force by the City Council The Task Force is evaluating the condition of the entire Downtown District The purpose of the effort is to maintain and enhance the Downtown as a viable commercial retail- service area The current application and request for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change takes place in a small area of the overall Downtown review The larger issue of the viability and health of the Downtown is under discussion by the Task Force. There are several scenarios that may result from the discussions and recommendations of the Downtown group, ranging from. 1. No action 2 Modification of the Downtown business district boundaries 3 New zoning regulations 4 Re -enter the Main Street program 5. Development of a Specific Plan for the Downtown In addition to the potential outcomes of the Downtown Task Force, the City Council is considering using a portion of the site as parking for general use of the public conducting business in the Downtown, and a property appraisal has been prepared The appraisal has not yet been reviewed by the City Council The parking area is intended to be limited to a 20 foot depth, the length of the lot (140') as a narrow strip along the alley Should the City Council initiate purchase of a portion of the site for parking, the site plan for the condominiums would need to be modified as access is currently provided via the alley, as required by the Zoning Code There are many issues that could be involved in an analysis of the appropriateness of multi- family residential as a substitute for commercial uses in an area that is surrounded on three (3) sides by similar commercial land uses. These issues include, what impacts would a residential use endure due to the proximity of commercial uses, would a high - density residential use be compatible with the adjacent land uses, what are the fiscal impact of residential development versus commercial development, the sustainability of commercial at the north end of the Downtown Commercial District, and the compelling need for housing in the community These factors have been, and will continue to be, discussed by the Downtown Task Force Under ordinary circumstances, an amendment to the General Plan and Zoning Code involves an analysis of the benefits and constraints of such an amendment In light of the discussions of the Task Force and the unknown outcome of the group, the usual analysis becomes problematic A portion of the collective consideration is the vacant Ralph's building and associated parking lot While facing Grand Avenue, it occupies approximately 60% of this segment of Richmond Street The remainder of the block is occupied by a surface parking lot for the former Bank of America, a non - conforming apartment building, and the vacant parcel in question In response to an overall concern for the Downtown and the subsequent vacating of the Ralph's building, the Task Force is taking the opportunity to evaluate the Downtown (Main Street/Richmond Street) it's land uses, business mix, and overall strengthening of Main and Richmond Streets The types of land uses being discussed by the Task Force as potentially 4 305 appropriate for this area of north Richmond Street, from Grand Avenue to Holly Avenue are mixed uses that may include bed/breakfast inns, small hotels, mixed retail /office and residential uses. CONCLUSION The purpose of the Task Force is to develop a plan to stimulate the Downtown. The parcel under consideration for amendments is an integral part of the vision for the Downtown It is for these reasons that the staff makes the recommendation to continue the item until the Task Force establishes a recommendation to the City Council for a direction for the Downtown commercial district, and the City Council provides input and direction on their recommendation. The Task Force is anticipated to provide a report to the City Council on November 17, 1998, at which time the City Council is expected to take action and provide direction to staff EXHIBITS A.

The adjacent land uses immediately east of the site across the alley are a mix of office, retail, and restaurant uses The use directly to the west across Richmond Street is a church /pre - school facility Across Holly Avenue, to the north is a Multi-Family Residential (R -3) neighborhood, more specifically a condominium development, with its access off the alley to the rear of the site To the northwest of the project site are older apartments and duplexes, also in the R -3 Zone Immediately south of the site is a vintage apartment budding, (previously a boarding house) A surface parking lot and commercial uses continue to the south along Richmond Street The primary occupancy of the commercially zoned and used property on this block of Richmond Street was operated by Ralph's grocery store (located further south of the subject site), which is now vacant Land Use Zone North: Condominiums Multi -Family Residential (R -3) South: Apartment building Downtown Commercial (C -RS) East: Main Street businesses, alley Downtown Commercial (C -RS) West: Church /pre - school Downtown Commercial (C -RS) The Zone change request would modify the Zoning on the site, consistent with the proposed General Plan Amendment. It would become zoned Multi - Family Residential (R -3) which allows up to 27 dwelling units to the acre The budding area of a particular parcel determines the number of units allowed Section 20 24 060 F defines the conditions under which the density is calculated as follows 1 On property of 15,000 square feet or less in size, one unit for every 1,613 square feet of lot area is allowed 2. On property greater than 15,000 square feet in size, one unit for every 2,420 square feet of lot area is allowed 309 The applicant, by dividing the parcels into two separate lots maximizes the allowable density A preliminary site plan submitted with the application indicates ten (10) condominiums on the five (5)- combined parcels totaling 17,500 square feet. The applicant has indicated that he will take advantage of the maximum density by creating two (2) parcels of equal size (less than 15,000 square feet) to accommodate five (5) condominiums on each lot The lot line on the site plan illustrates the subdivision into two (2) lots with five (5) condominiums each Had the applicant used sub - section (2) (above) as a single parcel of 17,500 square feet, the site would accommodate seven (7) units. At the Planning Commission meeting of October 22, 1998, the applications were Continued pending the outcome of the direction from the City Council on the Downtown Task Force Report, instigated to conceptualize options for revitilizing the City's Downtown Commercial area (within which the subject property is located) The informal direction provided by the City Council at its meeting of November 17, 1998 was to allow the Staff and the public to understand the overall scope of the issue and begin developing information necessary to further define the City Council's efforts for the Downtown Commercial District The City Council provided direction to Staff to proceed with pursuing several issues identified in the Report The City Council articulated the following points they would like to see accomplished based on the recommendations from the Task Force Report 1 Commission a study on the viability of a bed and breakfast concept for the Ralph's site (subject block). 2. Develop an action plan to implement a development plan and new uses for the City Hall Plaza, including design concepts 3 Institute a Farmers Market. 4 Consider adopting a 6 -month moratorium on professional office businesses in the Downtown area The use of the Ralph's site was uppermost on the list of the City Council's concerns, including the uses along all of Richmond Street between Grand and Holly, which includes the subject site The Council preliminarily directed Staff to look at future development of the entire block and whole Downtown, a piecemeal approach was not recommended. As such, the City Council also instructed Staff to investigate the preparation of a Specific Plan or Zoning Overlay District for the Downtown Of which, the Staff has provided the City Manager with preliminary information on the potential cost, timing, and scope for such a document The City Councils' continued concern with the viability of the Downtown is reflected in their determination that work be accomplished quickly in order to avoid delay to the business community while the Study is underway At it's subsequent meeting of December 1, 1998, the City Council discussed the Downtown, more specifically, an Interim Zoning Ordinance (Moratorium Ordinance) to prohibit office uses on the first floor in the 300 and 400 block of Main Street and the former Ralph's site The City Council is expected to clarify its overall direction on the remainder of the Downtown, and in this case, the remainder of Richmond Street north to Holly Avenue in it's coming meetings A Staff Report will be presented to the City Council at it's meeting of December 15, 1998, in order for the City Council to provide formal direction to the Staff to continue with the next step in 310 the revditdization effort for the Downtown. It is hoped for and anticipated that some indication, be it specific or general, will be provided for this site. In response to discussion by the applicant and others at the Planning Commission's previous meeting, the applicant raised the issue of the project being on the perimeter of residentially zoned property and the non - conforming apartment budding adjacent to the site to the south This issue relates to the types of land uses that exist on the block and surrounding property The surrounding land uses are clearly commercial in nature, except for the non - conforming apartment building The question remains, is it appropriate to bring solely residential uses into the commercial district where none exists While few if any noise complaints are received from the non - conforming apartment building, it is clear that they must endure commercial noise activity throughout the day and evening. Another issue raised by the applicant is the increase in the number of people to the Downtown should this site develop with residential uses thereby benefiting the Commercial District with new patrons. In a development of 10 units, it may be estimated that at a ratio of 2 3 persons per condominium household, the populations increase for the City /Downtown would be approximately twenty -three (23) people Should the entire remaining commercial uses on the block convert to residential, the overall increase in population may reach 75 people While this is an increase in the population of the City, it is in reality, only a portion of what it may take to revitalize the Downtown CONCLUSION The City Council has endeavored to take a pro - active approach to bettering the conditions of the Downtown, with that, the Staff has scheduled discussion for the City Council to provide formal direction to the Staff on the actions necessary to improve and address the issues in the Downtown There are many issues that could be involved in an analysis of the appropriateness of multi- family residential as 'a substitute for commercial uses in an area that is surrounded on three (3) sides by similar commercial land uses These issues include what impacts would a residential use endure due to the proximity of commercial uses Would a high - density residential use be compatible with the adjacent land uses, what are the fiscal impacts of residential development versus commercial development, the sustainability of commercial at the north end of the Downtown Commercial District, and the compelling need for housing in the community9 In light of the requested General Plan Amendment and Zone Change, there have been other property owners along this portion of Richmond Street who have expressed interest in obtaining a similar approval for residential development It is apparent that an overall study on the viability of Richmond Street and its relationship to the Downtown is important to the Downtown as a whole It would be, perhaps, premature to separate the property from the remainder of a Study for the overall revitalization effort The Planning Commission is considering a totally discretionary action, which means that the Planning Commission and City Council are under no obligation to approve the request for a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change The compilation of information and subsequent discussion is necessary to reach an informed decision All of the facts may not as yet be available In addition, because of the discretionary nature of the application the permit - streamlining act does not apply and therefore there is no required deadline for the Planning Commission or City Council to take action on the project 4 1 311 Having said that, the City remains sensitive to the needs of the development and business community and would like to respond in an informed manner to the applicant However, the City should and is looking at the larger issues involving the entire Downtown The site is an important component to the Downtown, a premature decision to allow development would impact the Commercial District for the next 30 to 50 years It is for these reasons that the Staff recommends Continuing the item until firm direction is received from the City Council EXHIBITS 1) Minutes of Planning Commission meeting of October 22, 1998 2) Final Recommendation /Report from the Downtown Task Force – dated November 9, 1998 3) Draft City Council Minutes – November 17, 1998 Prepared by. —4 1�;VM San r Mas a -L t Proje Pla er Reviewed by Reviewed and A to form by Chris'oeletien Assistcint City Attdrney Approved by Direbtor df Plavfning and Building Safety, and Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo, California P \p1anning \protects \ea- 447contpc 312 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA October 22, 1998 (7 :00 p.m. Meeting) Chairman Crowley called the regular meeting of the El Segundo Planning Commission to order at 7 00 pm in the Council Chamber of the City of El Segundo City Hall, 350 Main Street, El Segundo, California PRESENT KRETZMER, WYCOFF, CROWLEY, PALMER AND BOULGARIDES Chairman Crowley presented Item \A of New Business, Environmental Assessment EA -459, Subdivison SUB 98 -7, Tentative Parcel Map No 25242 — Two Lot Subdivision Address, 505 West Valm Avenue.

The job of the Task Force was to provide ideas It was a visioning process This report will be going to the City Council November 17, 1998 It is for that reason that staff has recommended a continuance of this item The Task Force held a concluding session a week ago Monday which talked about the entire block as having access between Richmond Street and Main Street One of the ideas for this was the potential for mixed use on this site with regard to residential along with retail One thing that was looked at was retail on the lower floor of the building with residential above Ms Jester stated the current zoning and land use designation on the property, downtown commercial, does allow residential above, commercial on the lower floor One (1) residential unit per lot is allowed by code tieryi Vargo, representing Jim Obradovich This property has been vacant forever, Mr. Obradovich is the first person who has had an escrow on the property since the Kenny's have owned it The applicant felt there was a possibility of residential zoning This property is on the parameter of the downtown commercial zone, properties immediately to the north and northeast are zoned R -3 and is a transition area. The property to the west is a church and a preschool which are found in a residential neighborhood The request being made is compatible with the existing land uses Also, there is the non - conforming use to the south The property is separated from the downtown strip on Main by a 20 foot alley and those businesses turn their back to this property They don't feel there would be an impact from the commercial and the high density residential use would be compatible with other uses because it is an appropriate transitional use between commercial and other residential uses. The appropriate use of a fiscal impact is something that the staff didn't have the opportunity to complete The downtown fiscally does not contribute in a great extent to the viability to the City of El Segundo The City needs more residential The 1990 census showed that the population is approximately 15, 200 people In the seven years since then, the population in 1997 was 16, 200 people. In that same time period, there has been the addition of only 128 residential units added to the City In the last 4 5 years, there has only been 15 housing units added to the City There is a need for housing in the City The population of the City will continue to grow. The City does not have enough land. 315 10 -22mm PC 3 Commissioner Palmer feels it would be premature on their part to make a quick decision tonight when they are lust in the process of trying to come up with a new vision Ms. Vargo stated they want to see the vital downtown as well since this property is so close They feel this will be a good part of the revitalization Jim Obradovich He feels Director Bernard covered most everything that was being suggested. These were things that could happen on the property He is only going to invest in something that he will get a return on Because of the height restrictions in that area and the neighbors across the street to house a residential /commercial City, he feels they would object to that more than anything else as being unsightly John Bagwell, 408 Richmond Street #8 He stated their unit is very similar to what is being talked about They are right behind a number of restaurants and businesses, and would welcome residential use for a number of reasons The current use is a dirt parking lot and is a nuisance They don't want to see a huge building being put up. What is being proposed would fit the neighborhood and would add to the value. Also, this would create shoppers for the downtown Gordon Stevens, 515 California Street He is a commercial broker for downtown El Segundo and has been involved in this effort for 30 years. He owns property on Main Street as well as manage 13 other tenant properties in El Segundo. At one time, he was the Executive Director and Manager of the El Segundo Chamber of Commerce at which time he was the shepard to the University of Southern California's Architectural Program when they adopted downtown El Segundo as a semester project They came up with several plans and came to some of the same conclusions that the task force is reaching This piece of property has not been developed and won't because of the history of what is happening up and down the street They have 24,000 square feet of leasable commercial space on the corner of Main and Grand and have never been 100% occupied at anytime. He has never seen more than 75% occupancy back to 1980 He gets an inquiry once a week on another hamburger place or video place and they aren't needed The mixed use concept certainly comes to the forefront with USC and Newman Properties, Inc who is the largest developer of retail commercial shopping centers in the world. Mr Newman came to town as a favor to Chevron Land Company to look at the downtown area and he came to the same conclusion There is not enough population base to feed the kind of stores that the public would like They're a service area. This proposal gives the Planning Commission an opportunity to do some planning The task force seems to be bypassing the Commission Mr. Obradovich has an escrow problem. Mr. Stevens recommends that the Commission accepts the Staff Report and recommendation to continue the hearing and suggest that the City see Mr Obradovich's escrow extended He feels there is an extension available They are 10 -22mm PC 4 316 erested in this property and would give Mrs. Kenny the biggest return for her investment They would also like to protect Mr. Obradovich as much as they can He has a big interest in what happens up and down the street Director Bernard stated it wasn't the intent of the mayor or Council to bypass the Planning Department with the task force They just wanted to pull together people in the business and residential community and take a quick shot look at it and bring it back to the Council and come back with some direction to staff and the Commission Kurt Brown, 361 Main Street He is here to support Mr Obradovich's project, and owns the budding across the street on Holly CRS Zoned property is difficult to develop and there isn't a need for it. You can't build now what you could years ago Rea's Hardware is going out of business, 446 Main Street has been vacant for approximately one year, 347 and 349 Main Street have been vacant for approximately three months, It took about two years to sell the Bike Shop at 131 Main Street Richmond and Franklin has been for sale for about ten years, Ralph's is also closed He feels making this property on Richmond and Holly into a condominium zone would be outstanding for downtown El Segundo. Ken Scofield, 323 Richmond Street echos the comments made by Kurt and Gordon Stevens in terms of a CRS cone These properties have sat vacant for many years with no buyers He has an issue with the overall concept throughout the entire block. On either side, there is a CRS Zone. There are other properties that could be affected He suggests that the entire block needs to be looked at, not just the one parcel Cheryl Vargo (Return) This corner is not a commercial corner. On the Holly side there is a bus stop with no parking at all They can't predict what the committee will do, but she would like to urge the Commission to approve their request Chairman Crowley stated the south side could be activated as CRS Zone. Would the people living in the condos be impacted? There is CRS on three sides, with the residential only on one side. Ms. Vargo stated there are disclosure statements required to be made as to what the zoning of adjacent properties is as well as land uses and the potential for them to be something other than what they are consistent with their zoning designation. The people would have knowledge of the zoning A lot of people buy these properties for the proximity to the commercial uses. Chairman Crowley stated they have to take the long term view and he would like to hear the task force input He would like to continue this Item 10 -22mm PC Commissioner Kretzmer likes the project and is keenly aware of the situation that Mr Obradovich faces Whatever will be built, will be there for many years and he is not prepared to make a decision tonight and would also like to see the task force's input He thanked everyone who spoke tonight Commissioner Boulgarides agrees He is not in favor with high density housing but this could be a good spot for it. He would like to see more public involved He feels the Commission should have been automatically included in the task force The Commission is in constraint with the Brown Act. He also does not want to rush into any decision on this Commissioner Palmer stated this may be the best and highest use Downtown needs additional foot traffic and this could help the existing businesses She also appreciated all who came down with their input. Vice -Chair Wycoff stated this property has always been a dirt lot and would like to see it put to a better use He is also in favor of waiting to hear the task force's report There are some beautiful Eucalyptus trees in the area. It would have been nice if the task force invited the Planning Commission's input Chairman Crowley stated the paper was well prepared that was presented More R -3 would be better nearer to downtown than elsewhere in general. Gordon Stevens (Return) He would like to see a letter from Director Bernard, the Chairman or the Mayor written or some kind of commitment from the City in support of Mr Obradovich's escrow being extending with a timeline. Commissioner Kretzmer stated for future projects if may not be a good idea to write a letter for an owner of private property. There is a public record here tonight that can be utilized A copy of the tape is adequate and is available from community cable Director Bernard stated if a definitive action were taken tonight, it would be taken to City Council on November 17 Possibly by year's end, early January would be the timeline Chairman Crowley moved to continue this item to December 10, 1998 Vice -Chair Wycoff seconded Passed 5 -0 Chairm Crowley presented New Business, EA -403A (Pre- approved sites for major wires communication facilities) Address• Various Applicant: City of El Segundo Prapqrty Owner.

PETITIONED BY: JAMES R. OBRADOVICH. WHEREAS, on June 30, 1998, an application was received from James R. Obradowch requesting approval of an Environmental Assessment, Zone Change and General Plan Amendment from CR -S /Downtown Commercial to R -3 /Multi - Family Residential to allow the future construction of a 10 unit condominium at the southeast corner of Holly Avenue and Richmond Street; and, WHEREAS, an inter- Departmental correspondence has been prepared and circulated along with all the applications and preliminary plans for the future 10 unit condominium for inter- Departmental comments, and, WHEREAS, an Environmental Assessment (EA -447), including a Draft Initial Study and Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the proposed General Plan Amendment and Zoning Change, has been prepared and circulated to all interested parties, Staff, and affected public agencies for review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law, and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed Environmental Assessment EA -447 and the supporting evidence with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act, State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of El Segundo Guidelines for the implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Resolution 3805), and, WHEREAS, on October 22 and December 10, 1998, the Planning Commission did hold, pursuant to law, duly advertised public hearings on such matter and notice of the public hearings was given in the time, form and manner prescribed by law, and, WHEREAS, at said hearings opportunity was given to all persons to present testimony or documentary evidence for or against the findings of Environmental Assessment EA -447, General Plan Amendment 98 -2, and Zone Change 98 -2, and, WHEREAS, at it's meetings of October 22, 1988, the Planning Commission opened the public hearing, took testimony and continued the public hearing, and, WHEREAS, at it's meeting of December 10, 1998, the Planning Commission took testimony at the continued public hearing, and reviewed and considered the recommendations of the City 3 <� Council pursuant to the Report from the Downtown Task Force, as appointed by the City Council, and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission is concerned with the future development of the Downtown and considered the proposed General Plan Amendment 98 -2 and Zone Change 98 -2 in light of the City Council's efforts to revitalize the Downtown District, and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission believes that development of a residential use is appropriate and fits into the frame work of the City Council's Downtown revitalization efforts; and, WHEREAS, at said hearings the following facts were established 1 The site is within the Downtown Commercial District, and is zoned Downtown Commercial — (CR -S). 2 The site is located at the northwest comer at the edge of the Downtown Commercial District on Richmond Street and Holly Avenue. 3 The site is currently vacant, and the City's historic records indicate no previous development proposed or ever existed on the site 4. This particular parcel is unique within the Downtown area due to its perimeter location and lack of previous or current development 5. Testimony supported proposed General Plan Amendment 98 -2 and Zone Change 98 -2 based in part on the increase in population generated by Multi -family (R -3) development which would assist in sustaining the viability of the Downtown District. 6 Multi -family (R -3) development in close proximity to the Downtown is an incentive to urban dwellers 7 Historical City records indicate that there has been no interest in commercial development on the site 8 The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change would allow for Multi - family residential development similar to the existing condominiums on the north side of Holly Avenue 9. The following land uses surround the site to the south is an apartment building; to the east is an alley which would buffer the proposed residential use from the adjacent commercial land use, R -3 Zoning and Land Use is located to the north across Holly Avenue and to the northwest across Holly Avenue is R -1 Zoning and Land Use. The proposed General Plan Amendment 98 -2 and Zone Change 98 -2 is consistent with these land uses. 10 The individual site is not specifically part of the proposed Initial City Council Action Plan as discussed by the City Council on December 1, 1998 3241 2 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after consideration of the above facts and study of proposed Environmental Assessment EA -447, General Plan Amendment 98 -2, and Zone Change 98 -2, the Planning Commission makes the following findings and in so doing, recommends that the City Council approve the proposed project- , The proposed General Plan Amendment 98 -2 and Zone Change 98 -2 are not in conflict with the Downtown Action Plan preliminary directed by the City Council on December 1, 1998 pursuant to the November 17, 1998, Downtown Task Force recommendations. The intervening uses (apartment building and surface parking lot) between the vacant Ralph's site and the subject site and the alley to the east effectively buffers the proposed Multi- Family (R -3) residential use from impacts of the Downtown retail and service uses 3. That Multi - family housing in close proximity to the Downtown is a benefit since the greater number of people in Multi - family (R -3) residential development generally support business within walking distance of their residence Past efforts to attract commercial /retail /service development to the site have been unsuccessful due to the perimeter location of the site within the Downtown District 5 Increased density of residential development in this area is consistent with the adjoining Multi - family (R -3) development directly to the north across Holly Avenue This particular parcel is unique within the Downtown area due to its perimeter location and lack of previous or current development. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Environmental Assessment EA -447, General Plan Amendment 98 -2, and Zone Change 98 -2 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that according to the El Segundo Municipal Code, the Secretary of the Planning Commission shall mail a copy of this Resolution to the applicant at the address shown on the application and to any other person requesting a copy The decision of the Planning Commission as set forth in this Resolution shall become final and effective ten (10) calendar days after the date of the Planning Commission action unless within such ten (10) calendar day period an appeal in writing is filed with the City Council 325 PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 21st day of December 1998. 4 / r Bret er ard, icP, Director of Planning and wlding Safety; and, Secretary of the Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo, California VOTES Crowley - Wycoff - Bouigartdes - Palmer - Kretzmer - Brian Crowley, Chairman of the Planning Commiss of the City of El Segundo, California p \protects \ea - 447 \peres 32u CITY OF EL SEGUNDO FISCAL IMPACT ANALYSIS REPORT NUMBER PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT - -USE Residential 1 0 DATE ANALYSIS PREPARED October 21, 1998 2 0 PROJECT NAME 10 -unit Condominium 3 0 YEAR PROJECT FIRST OCCUPIED 1999 4 0 POPULATION /EMPLOYMENT -- NEW RESIDENT POPULATION - -TOTAL NEW PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT - -TOTAL 5 0 DEVELOPMENT VALUE ESTIMATE ($000)- - LAND VALUE TOTAL VALUE OF IMPROVEMENTS TOTAL DEVELOPMENT VALUE ($000) 6 0 REVENUE GENERATION ($000) -- PROPERTY TAX .

ZZ� 5 DISCUSSION: (Continued) Pursuant to Federal requirements, notice of this public hearing was posted in various public buildings within the City Federal requirements also mandate that as part of the hearing, the Council and public be informed of the range of eligible housing and community development activities that may be funded under the CDBG program Interested persons may obtain a copy of the Federal eligibility guidelines, available at the City of El Segundo's Planning and Building Safety Department, from 7 30 a m to 5 30 p m Monday through Friday Description of Current Year's Activities (Fiscal Year 1998 -1999) The 1998 -1999 CDBG allocation for the City of El Segundo was $111,744 The 1998 -1999 CDBG program year has seen an important programmatic change that directly impacted the City of El Segundo's allocation of CDBG funds Effective in 1998 -1999, the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission strictly enforced the Federal guidelines limiting CDBG expenditures on public service protects to 15% of a City's total allocation For the City of El Segundo, which traditionally devotes approximately 50% (or $56,500 for Fiscal Year 1998 - 1999), of its total annual allocation to fund three public service protects (Home Delivered Meals, Senior In -Home Care, and Juvenile Diversion), the public service cap resulted in a significant reduction in public service expenditures For the 1998 -1999 CDBG program year, a maximum of $16,760 could be cumulatively expended on all three public service activities Thus, in order to maintain existing levels of service, a supplemental source of funds was required On 20 January 1998, the El Segundo City Council recognized the need to continue the three public service protects, and authorized the use of General Funds to supplement the shortfall of CDBG monies The remaining 1998 -1999 CDBG allocation of $94,984 funded two housing improvement protects (Minor Home Repair ($42,000) and Residential Sound Insulation ($41,814)) and the general administration of the CDBG program ($11,170, please note the Community Development Commission also establishes a maximum expenditure rate on the administration of the CDBG program to 10% of a City's total annual allocation) The following protect descriptions identify the City's CDBG activities for the 1998 -1999 program year These protects were approved by the City Council during a public hearing on 20 January 1998 1) Provides approximately 4,500 meals to low and moderate income elderly and severely handicapped persons during the course of the program year Additional revenues of approximately $9,000 in donations are anticipated, which increases the total budget to $25,000 2) Senior In -Home Care Total Budget $24,500 (CDBG — $7,000, General Fund - $17,500) Approximately 100 confined senior citizens and severely handicapped persons receive in -home medical, physical, and /or emotional care assistance 3) Juvenile Diversion Proiect Total Budget $16.000 (CDBG — $2.260. General Fund - $13,740) This protect provides children and adolescents, who are victims of physical and /or emotional abuse, counseling and referral services Approximately thirty youths receive services 4) Minor Home Repair Total Budget (CDBG only) $42,000 The Minor Home Repair protect provides financial assistance to qualified low and moderate income, single - family, owner - occupied homeowners to make necessary minor home improvements No- interest, deferred loans up to $5,000 may be approved for minor home improvements Additionally, grants up to a maximum of $1,500 are available to severely disabled homeowners who require handicap improvements Approximately six loans and two grants, will be funded 5) Residential Sound Insulation (RSI) Total Budget (CDBG only) $41,814 The RSI program provides grants to eligible low and moderate - income single - family detached homeowners to obtain home insulation against airport noise CDBG funds pay all or a portion of the homeowner's twenty percent (20 %) share of the program cost Eighty percent (80 %) of the cost is paid by the Federal Aviation Administration Approximately seven to nine grants will be funded 333 6) Administration $11170 To provide overall CDBG program administration and implementation of all CDBG funded activities TOTAL CDBG BUDGET 1998 -1999 $111,744 TOTAL GENERAL FUND BUDGET $ 39,740 Proposed 1999 -2000 CDBG Proiects and Budget The proposed 1999 -2000 CDBG allocation for the City of El Segundo is $100,859 This is approximately 9 75% less than the City's allocation during the previous program year Please note that this CDBG allocation is a planning estimate only, the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission (CDC) does not receive the final appropriation from HUD until Spring 1999 The City's final CDBG allocation may be more or less than the planning estimate Generally, however, the final allocation is within ten percent of the estimate provided The 1999 -2000 CDBG program year must operate within the 15% public service limit as mandated by the Federal regulations Fifteen percent of the City's total annual CDBG allocation for 1999 -2000 equals approximately $15,129 Thus, a maximum of $15,129 in CDBG funds may be cumulatively expended on all public service projects Since the City of El Segundo typically devotes a total of $56,500 (or 56% for 1999 -2000) annually to its CDBG public service projects, supplemental funds totaling $36,371 must be identified in order to maintain existing service levels If supplemental funds (i e , General Funds) are not approved, at least two of the three current public service projects must be eliminated, or operated for only a two -month period These scenarios would pose an undue hardship on all current service recipients Home Delivered Meals, Senior In -Home Care, and Juvenile Diversion collectively provide critical, life- enhancing assistance to those residents of greatest need Most notably, the Home Delivered Meals Program has served this community for more than twelve years and, has made a valuable contribution to the City's commitment to improving the lives of its residents Two part-time City Staff (funded with CDBG monies) are required to operate and administer the Home Delivered Meals and Senior In -Home Care projects Without these two part-time Staff members to implement and coordinate these programs, along with volunteers, neither project could operate Thus, it is strongly recommended that the 1999 -2000 CDBG public service projects be supplemented with an alternative funding source, such as City General Funds, as the City Council approved for the 1998 -1999 Budget Year This ensures the City's commitment to maintain the existing level of public services The current 1998 -1999 operating budget for all three public service projects is a total of $56,500 (Home Delivered Meals - $16,000, Senior In -Home Care - $24,500, and, Juvenile Diversion - $16,000), or $36,371 over the proposed 1999 -2000 public service funding level of $15,129 Last year, with the approval of the City Council, the City of El Segundo entered into three- year agreements with each of the public service providers (Daniel Freeman Memorial Hospital, Just Right Help, II, Inc , and the South Bay Youth Project), effective 01 July 1997 through 30 June 2000 Although each agreement contains a cancellation clause, this information is presented for your consideration Finally, it is recommended that the City Council support the continuation of the Minor Home Repair Project, the Residential Sound Insulation Project and the CDBG General Administration Project during the upcoming 1999 -2000 Program Year A complete list of the proposed CDBG 1999 -2000 projects and budgets are General Fund Total Budget CDBG Allocation Supplement Home Delivered Meals (Public Service) $16,000 $5,043 $10,957 Senior In -Home Care (Public Service) $24,500 $5,043 $19,457 334 Juvenile Diversion (Public Service) Minor Home Repair Residential Sound Insulation Administration (max 10 %) TOTAL General Fund Total Budaet CDBG Allocation Supplement $16,000 $5,043 $10,957 $37,825 $37,825 0 $37,825 $37,825 0 $10,080 $10,080 0 $142,230 $100,859 $41,371 In addition to the 1999 -2000 allocation, unspent funds from previous program years' closed -out projects totaling $85,900 are available for reallocation to new or continuing construction related projects, such as Minor Home Repair and Residential Sound Insulation Increasing the budget for these projects will allow for additional home improvement loans, and /or RSI grants to be funded Alternatively, the City Council may establish new, eligible CDBG projects An example may be a project that assists the City's compliance with the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) CDBG funds can be used for the removal of architectural barriers as a public improvement activity Staff contacted other appropriate Departments (i e , Public Works) to ascertain if they were interested in implementing CDBG- funded projects No eligible projects were identified at this time If alternative projects are not selected at this time, all remaining CDBG funds are placed in a "contingency' account which can be accessed at any time during the course of the 1999 -2000 program year to fund eligible CDBG projects Any unexpended funds at the end of the program year are not lost, they are "rolled over' into the next budget year for reprogramming (public service projects, such as Home Delivered Meals, Senior In -Home Care, and Juvenile Diversion, are excluded from these reallocated funds) Thus, the unexpended funds of $85,900, plus the estimated $100,859, results in a potential total CDBG program budget of $186,759 335 0 Cdbg99 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT MEETING DATE: January 5, 1999 AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Implementation of the Downtown Task Force recommendations (Fiscal Impact $145,000) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Consider modified Action Plan, implementation costs and direct staff accordingly INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: On December 16, 1998, the City Council considered an Action Plan developed by staff to implement portions of the Downtown Task Force's report entitled "Developing A Vision For Downtown El Segundo" Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to modify the draft Action Plan and return with cost estimates and funding sources on January 5, 1999 DISCUSSION.
