The proposed amendments are not intended to modify the Zoning Code for just Mr Chow's property, or any other single property It is important to note that the proposed revisions would affect all property in the SB and MM Zones. The current Zoning Code permits automobile service uses in the SM Zone (Section 20 42 020E) and Medium Manufacturing (MM) Zone (Section 20 43 020E) as follows "Automobile service uses with up to four service bays, if a 500 -foot minimum distance from any residential zoned property is provided This distance criterion does not apply to properties east of Sepulveda Boulevard. Projects proposing a greater number of bays shall be required to obtain an Administrative Use Permit." Automobile service uses with more than four service bays, and a minimum of 500 feet from residential property may be approved through the issuance of an Administrative Use Permit This 500 -foot distance standard was adopted by the City Council in 1997, after a discussion and review of the requirement was prompted by concerns about the impacts (noise, fumes, odors, hazardous materials, et al) from automobile related uses near or adjacent to residential neighborhoods The potential impact of the 500 -foot standard on potential uses in the SB Zone was discussed in the 06 May 1997 Staff Report (attached). In that Staff Report, Staff indicated that the 500 -foot standard would impact the future locations for service stations and automobile service uses The adopted 500 -foot standard has had the effect of prohibiting automobile services uses in all but a few properties in the SB Zone, since there is Multi - family Residential (R -3) zoned property north of Franklin Avenue, which is the northern border for most of the SB Zone It should be noted that all of the automobile service uses listed in Mr Chow's letters were approved prior to the adoption of the current 500 -foot separation requirement in 1997 Matrix Staff has prepared the following matrix to present several options for the City Council to review as possible alternatives to the current regulations 009 EA -483, ZTA 99 -2 City Council Staff Report 15 June 1999 MATRIX OF POTENTIAL USE PERMITS Page 3 500' min = 500 foot minimum distance required from residentially Zoned property Less than 250' = If less than 250 feet from residentially Zoned property 4 bays max = A maximum of four (4) service bays is permitted No bay limit = No maximum number of service bays The context behind this matrix was to start with the current regulations and, for comparison and Commission consideration, formulate progressively less restrictive standard for automobile service uses For instance, the current Zoning Code does not allow an automobile use within 500 feet of residentially zoned property to apply for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Option No 1 would allow automobile uses within 500 feet of residentially zoned property with a CUP Option No 2 would eliminate the AUP process and simply allow automobile uses more than 500 feet from residentially zoned property and require a CUP when the distance is less than 500 feet Option No 3 reduces the CUP threshold to 250 feet, as a starting point for discussion, and then requires an AUP for property between 250 -500 feet from residentially zoned property Options No 4 and 5 would further ease restrictions on automobile service uses by only requiring an AUP based on a 500 - foot or 250 -foot distance requirement Option No 6 is the least restrictive, in that it would make automobile service uses permitted "outright" in the SIB and MM Zone It should also be noted that the City Council may adopt different standards for the SIB and MM Zones While they currently have the same standards, it is not required that they remain the same In fact, while the current standards do prohibit automobile service uses in virtually all of the SIB Zone, there are still a large number of properties in the MM Zone which could be occupied by automobile service uses This is due to the proximity of the Multi - Family (R -3) Residential Zone north of Franklin Avenue between Arena Street and Maryland Street, which abuts the SB Zone To the east of Center Street, most of the MM zoned property south of Grand Avenue is more than 500 feet from the nearest residential properties 010 PERMITTED AUP CUP EXISTING 500' min , 500' mm , None allowed 4 bays max no bay limit Option 1 500' min , 500' mm , Less than 500', 4 bays max no bay limit no bay limit Option 2 500' min., Less than 500', (PC Recommendation) no bay limit -

Family (R -3) Residential Zone north of Franklin Avenue between Arena Street and Maryland Street, which abuts the SB Zone To the east of Center Street, most of the MM zoned property south of Grand Avenue is more than 500 feet from the nearest residential properties 010 EA -483, ZTA 99 -2 Page 4 City Council Staff Report 15 June 1999 Due to the current trend for many automobile service uses to not have strictly defined service bays, particularly for automobile "body shops" which do not typically require car lifts, Staff recommended deleting the number of service bays as a threshold in Option No s 2, 3, 4, and 5 Many body shops have an open floor plan with no discernable service bays Since all automobile service uses must be conducted within an enclosed budding, the potential impact on residential uses would seem to be more directly related to proximity, than the arrangement of the workspace within the floor space of the repair or body shop The Planning Commission, at the suggestion of Staff, recommended consideration of Option No 2 as the most efficient method of expanding the opportunity for automobile service uses in the SB and MM Zones by allowing them within 500 feet of residentially zoned property with approval of a CUP At the same time, the process for automobile service uses greater than 500 feet from residentially Zoned uses could be simplified by eliminating the distinction on the number of service bays in a facility and allowing such uses as permitted uses, instead of requiring an AUP when the number of service bays exceeds four Exhibit 1 includes the redline /strikeout text for the Planning Commission recommended revision based on Option No 2 in the aforementioned matrix 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 May 6'" to May 26'", 1999, with no comments were received on the document Staff and 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 CONCLUSION In conclusion, Staff and the Planning Commission recommend Approval of the proposed modifications to the City Council, as contained in Option No 2 of the above matrix, in order to provide the opportunity for automobile service uses to locate in additional locations in the SB and MM Zones p \zoning \ea483 \ea483 ais O11 ORDINANCE NO._ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO.

He requested information on how much single family stock is subject to this. He is not sure if this is in the best interest of the City. Director Bernard stated Staff will try to get this information to the Commission either prior to or with the Housing Element update Vice -Chair Wycoff stated it is the Commission's obligation to review applications such as this one to decide if they do or do not meet the laws and the Zoning Code Commissioner Palmer inquired about Condition #14 concerning the under - grounding of utilities. Ms Vargo stated for this project, the utilities already exist on the utility pole and would be taken from the pole to the property and would not be that expensive If the pole has to be moved and put underground, then it becomes expensive This runs about $2,500 a lot just for Southern California Edison's work DRAFT Commissioner Boulgandes moved to approve EA -481 and Subdivision 99 -3 MOTION (Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No 25323) with the amendment that Condition #1 state prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy Commissioner Palmer seconded Passed 5 -0 Chairman Crowley presented Item 5, Environmental Assessment EA -483 (Zone Text Amendment ZTA 99 -2) Address Smoky Hollow Specific Plan Area Applicant City of El Segundo Assistant Planner Paul Garry presented the Staff Report as outline in the agenda packet Chairman Crowley opened the public hearing Commissioner Kretzmer asked why Option 2 was selected over Option 3 and what are the advantages Mr Garry stated Option 2 was chosen for simplification He further explained that If there is just one threshold with the 500 foot limit, it is easier to understand and would allow the CUP and increase the opportunities for potential businesses in the SB and MM Zones By eliminating the AUP, it would make it easier if someone was beyond the 500 feet than currently exists John Tourino, owner of 220 Arena St., El Segundo He stated the distance requirement was established to protect the residents living in the Smoky Hollow area from excessive noise, traffic and congestion by providing a buffer between Small Business Zone which has worked well for many years One compromise would be to limit any reduction to a minimum of 250 feet, and that it be restricted to the south side of Franklin Street only (the 500 minimum would remain in place on the west side of Arena Street unless the business operators on Eucalyptus Street also favored this change) In the PUBLIC HEARINGS NEW BUSINESS EA -483 05 -27mm PC 6 017 final analysis, a buffer area must be retained in order to avoid the negative impact to the residents living in Smoky Hollow, but also to serve to preserve the property values of the apartment owners To eliminate this requirement altogether makes no sense In other communities, alleys, not streets, have been used as lines of demarcation for zoning purposes. Chairman Crowley explained that with Option 2, a CUP process would allow the building of an automobile service closer than 500 feet it would have to come to the Commission for explanation and would be reviewed on a case by case basis Also, all the neighbors within at least 300 feet would have to be notified If the proposed use made too much noise, it would more than likely be shut down. Chairman Crowley closed the public hearing. Commissioner Palmer pointed out there are two letters in the packet from Robert Chow, and she agrees with Staff's recommendations Commissioner Boulgandes, Vice -Chair Wycoff and Chairman Crowley also agree with Staff's recommendations Commissioner Kretzmer also agreed and further stated it is most appropriate and presents a fair and equitable manner of handling similar types of applications in the future by adopting Option 2 Commissioner Kretzmer moved to adopt and approve EA -483, ZTA 99 -2 which is a revision to automobile service uses in the Smoky Hollow Specific Plan Area and adopt Option 2 as described in the Staff Report Vice -Chair Wycoff seconded. Passed 5 -0 Director Bernard stated this Item will be on the City Council agenda for its consideration on June 15, 1999. DRAFT MOTION Director Bernard presented the upcoming items for the June 10, 1999 regular REPORT FROM Planning Commission meeting. Also, he encouraged the Commission to view DIRECTOR the three designs displayed in the lobby showing the Civic Plaza area Chairman Crowley stated he enjoyed seeing some of the architectural elements of the high school and the library reflected in one of the designs Commissioner Palmer expressed concern with the traffic congestion in the City, especially on Sepulveda Boulevard Commissioner Kretzmer agreed Chairman Crowley stated he is looking forward to the widening of Sepulveda Boulevard. He commented that the telephone poles will be gone since there will be under - grounding of utilities. Director Bernard stated the City anticipates the widening of Sepulveda Boulevard will be completed by December of 2000 There being no further discussion, Vice -Chair Wycoff moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:10 p.m to the regular scheduled meeting of June 10, 1999 at 6 00 p m Commissioner Boulgarides seconded Passed 5 -0 COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS ADJOURNMENT 05 -27nun PC 7 018 EA- 483/ZTA 99 -2 DRAFT AMENDMENTS — JUNE 15, 1999 AUTOMOBILE SERVICE USES - EXHIBIT 1 REVISED ZONING CODE TEXT (OPTION NO. 2) Chapter 20.42 SMALL BUSINESS (SB) ZONE 20 42 020 PERMITTED USES The following uses are permitted in the SB Zone• A Manufacturing, B.

Now I find a very difficult circumstance I am in escrow to purchase the above property and scheduled to close 4[7!1999 In preparation for such I went to the city to obtain a business license for this new location and new business At that time I was told that a business license for automotive service could not be issued because this building was less than 500 feet away from a residential zone By your own calculations it is approximately 440 feet from an R -3 budding on the northwest corner of Franklin & Sierra The opposite corner is an open lot, no housing Not only myself, but my agent, the selling agent and the seller of the property were all under the understanding from prior inquiry at the City Planning Dept that 114 Sierra was zoned for the intended use.

With the new proposed zoning requirements as recommended by the Planning Commission, the Code will permit, 1) Service Stations a minimum of 500 feet from any residential zoned properties, in the C -RS, C -2, C -3, CO, MU, M -1, M -2, SB, MM and GAC Zones, subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit, 2) Automobile Services (with up to four bays) a minimum of 500 feet away from residential properties, as permitted uses, and projects with more than four bays, subject to approval of an Administrative Use Permit (AUP), in the Small Business (SB) and Medium Manufacturing (MM) Zones, and, 3) Service Stations, east of Sepulveda, subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit 8 from 2 Sepulveda _ Revis height limits along Sepulveda corridor and east of Sepulveda Boulevard from 200 foot limits to 150 0 feet, depending on distance of building east of Sepulveda Boulevard (ZTA) {Exhibit 8} The subject of height limits east of Sepulve Boulevard and along the Sepulveda Boulevard corridor was previously reviewed by the Planning Commission in 199 as part of the last series of Zone Text Amendments (EA -376A) The City Council (seated at that time) did not come a consensus at that time on the height amendments and referred them back to the Planning Commission for furthe evaluation and recommendations )uring the processing of the 1996 Code Amendments, Staff presented revisions to the height limits east of Sepulveda Boulevard which would have reduced height limits fro 200 feet to 150 feet between Sepulveda Boulevard and Continental /Lairport Streets Between Continental/Lairpo Streets and Nash Street, height would have been reduced from 200 feet to 175 feet Height limits east of Nash Stree would have been permitted to increase from 175 feet to 200 feet The purpose of the tiered height limit was to gradual decrease height limits and the associated visual impact of development on the residential neighborhood as one got c ser to Sepulveda Boulevard The previous proposal would have placed a 200 foot height limit adjacent to the reside al areas of Del Aire in Los Angeles County, east of Aviation Boulevard The current standards allows a 175 foot heig limit in the MU Zone and 200 foot height limits in the other zones east of Sepulveda Boulevard Staff was asked by the City Council to examine height from the persp five of the existing topography to determine if height limits could be based on some reference datum, such as the a vation of Sepulveda Boulevard above sea level, to determine if buildings of a certain height above this reference d um would be visible from areas west of Sepulveda Boulevard Using topographical maps, which are still accurate a ough for this study, Staff has prepared a graph which depicts relative elevations throughout the City The City genera increases in elevation gradually from Aviation Boulevard to Sepulveda Boulevard and then becomes much more van with steeper hills east toward Main Street Since most land east of Sepulveda Boulevard is lower than the residential ea impacts of future building s, th heights east of Sepulveda should be minimized by virtue of beginning at a lower a s, the Sta believes that using ff a reference datum which is some distance from the location of the construction prof t could pose difficulties during the plan check review process because the exact height of the property in relation to th reference datum would have to be verified and this would likely require a survey to be conducted for each and every roject At the Planning Commission meeting on January 23, 1997, the Commission reviewed the su ect of height limits east of Sepulveda Boulevard and along the Sepulveda Boulevard corridor Staff was requested t research any Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

to protect the residents Irving in the Smokey Hollow area from excessive noise,traffic or conjest,on by providing a buffer with a Small Business (SM) zone which has worked well for many years So why change it now 2 One compromise would be to limit any reduction to a Min 250 feet & that it be restncted to the South side of Franklin St only (ie The 500' Min would remain in place on the West side oFAreno St, unless the business operators on Eucalyptus St also favored this charge) 3 In the final anoylysis, a Buffer area must be retained in order to avoid the negative impact to the residents noted in 1 above, but also serves to preserve the property values of the Apartment Owners ( I am the owner of record of a 7 unit apartment bldg at 220 Arena Bt) 4 To eliminate this requremert altogether makes NO SENSE of all' So Please Dont Note In other communities, Alleys NOT Streets were used as lines of demarkation for zoning purposes (ie Residential would be back to back with

Description of Project: (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later phases of the project, and any secondary, support, or off -site features necessary for its implementation. Attach additional sheets if necessary) The proposed Zone Text Amendment would possibly modify or eliminate the current 500 -foot minimum distance requirement for a new automobile service use from residentially zoned property in the SB and MM Zones Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: (Briefly describe the project's surroundings) The SB and MM Zones comprise 941 acres of the City These zones are generally located between El Segundo Boulevard on the south, Franklin and Grand Avenues on the North, Standard Street on the West and Sepulveda Boulevard on the east. These zones allow a variety of light industrial, warehouses, automobile, and office uses. There are many existing automobile service uses in these zones which would currently be considered as non - conforming due to their proximity to residentially zoned property The proposed zone text amendment could make some of these businesses conforming again There is multi -family residential (R -3) zoned property on the north side of Franklin Avenue between Arena Street and Maryland Street. There is also single -family residential (R -1) zoned 11G 6,39 Property north of Holly Avenue between California Street and Washington Street To the south of El Segundo Boulevard is the Chevron Oil Refinery, a heavy industrial use 9• Other Public Agencies Whose Approval is Required (e.g., permits, financing approval, or participation agreement).

In order to accomplish this, Staff is concurrently processing a Lot Line Adjustment to separate these three buildings from the fourth budding in the Precise Plan area (designated as S -12) Since these four buildings are currently located on one parcel of land, and that parcels makes up the boundary of the Precise Plan Area, it is necessary to modify the precise plan area to include a budding adjacent to S -12 (designated as S-15) in order to match the proposed Lot Line adjustment parcel boundaries As a result, the Precise Plan area would increase in size from 10 4 acres to 12 47 acres and it would be composed of two separate parcels of land Parcel A would be owned by Hughes Space and Communications, and contain Buildings S- 12 and S -15 Parcel B would be owned by The Raytheon Company and contain Buildings R -1, R -2 and R -3 No new development or new development rights are intended to be created by the boundary reconfiguration The current total floor area ratio of the existing Precise Plan (2 04) FAR exceed the current standards in the Light Industrial (M -1) Zone Since the Precise Plan Amendment would increase the area of the Precise Plan, the overall FAR will decrease to 1 82 The Planning Commission has recommended inclusion of a Condition of Approval which explicitly limits the overall FAR to the proposed 1 82 No new development would be allowed due to the non - conforming FAR DISCUSSION: This item was originally scheduled for a public hearing by the City Council on 02 December 1997. However, due to unforeseen complications, the applicants requested a number of continuances of the Planning Commission public hearing in order for the two applicants to revise the application material As a result the Planning Commission did not review the project until 27 May 1999, when it adopted Resolution No 2405, recommending that the City Council approve EA -428 and PP 97 -3 A more complete project description, analysis, and background information is included in the accompanying Planning Commission Staff Report and its attachments, which were previously distributed to the City Council on 20 May 1999; and, are again included as an attachment to this Report ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1 (draft) City Council Resolution No 2 (draft) Planning Commission Minutes, 27 May 1999 3 Planning Commission Staff Report and Attachments, 27 May 1999 1 (adopted) Planning Commission Resolution No 2405 FISCAL IMPACT- None ORIG Date: L•T6414111f1 411'74.� P 1proiects\426- 450\9a- 428\9a428 ais d, 05' RESOLUTION NO.

PETITIONED BY HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY. WHEREAS, an application has been received from Hughes Space and Communications and The Raytheon Company, requesting Approval of an Amendment to Precise Plan 4 -77, to allow modification of the boundaries of the Precise Plan to facilitate the transfer of ownership of a building within the Precise Plan area, and, WHEREAS, this project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15315, as a Class 15 project (Minor Land Division for four or fewer parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning and all services and access are available to the site) WHEREAS, the Planning Commission and City Council have reviewed the application and supporting evidence with the authonry 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 Em ironmental Quality Act (Resolution No 3805), WHEREAS, on May 27, 1999, the Planning Commission did hold, pursuant to law, a duly ad%erased public hearing (Continued from November 13, 1997) on such matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hail 350 Main Street, and notice of the public heanng was given in the time, form and manner prescribed by law and the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No 2405, recommending approval of the Precise Plan Amendment and Environmental Assessment, WHEREAS, on June 15, 1999, the City Council did hold, pursuant to law, duly advertised public heannes on such matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street, and notice of the public hearings were given in the time, form and manner prescribed by law, WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of Em ironmental Assessment EA -428 and Precise Plan Amendment 97 -3, and, WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established The existing Precise Plan boundary consists of one approximately 10 4 acre piece of land with four existing buildings The proposed Precise Plan boundary will consist of two pieces of land totaling approximately 12 47 acres with five buildings Parcel A of the amended Precise Plan will have an area of approximately 121,532 square feet and a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2 47 Parcel B will have an area of approximately 421,660 8 square feet and a FAR of 1 56 The total FAR on the parcels would decrease from a total of approximately 2 04 to 1 76 due primarily to a 2 07 acre increase in the boundary area RESOLUTION NO APPROVING EA428 & PP 97 -3 AS FIRST AMENDMENT TO PP 477 PAGE NO t P57 The purpose of the original Precise Plan (4 -77) was to accommodate the height of two proposed buildings at 1970 and 2000 East Imperial highway (buildings designated now by Hughes as R -2 and R- 1, respectively). At that time, the height limit in the M -1 Zone was 75 feet, thus the two buildings, which are 10 and 12 stories in height, respectively, were planned to exceed the height limit 4 Building S -12 at 1950 East Imperial Highway is within the Precise Plan boundary, but was constructed prior to the approval of Precise Plan 4 -77 Building R -3 at 1960 East Imperial Highway. which is also within the existing Precise Plan boundary area, was not a part of the original application, but was constructed afterwards without amending the precise plan Building S -15 at 1920 East Imperial Highway, which is now proposed to be added to the Precise Plan boundary, was constructed in 1957 The proposed boundaries of the Precise Plan Amendment will coincide with a proposed Lot Line Adjustment (Subdivision 97 -3) which is been processed concurrently by the Department of Planning and Building Safety, but does not require approval by the Planning Commission or City Council The project site is located within the northeast portion of the City of El Segundo approximately one (1) mile to the west of the San Diego Freeway [Interstate -405 (I -405)] The project is bounded by Imperial Highway on the north, Selby Street on the west, Nash Street on the east, and Maple Avenue on the south Local jurisdictions bordering or near the site include the City of Los Angeles located immediately north of Imperial Highway The area surrounding the project site is highly urbanized Land uses are comprised of office, research and development, manufacturing, warehousing, and other similar uses to the east, west. and south The Los Angeles International Airport is located to the north across Imperial Highway There are no residential uses located in the immediate project vicinity The nearest residential uses are approximately 1,200 feet west of the project Topographically, the project vicinity is generally level to rolling terrain and is currently developed NOV1, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, after considering the above facts, the testimony pre,ented at the public hearing, and study of proposed Environmental Assessment EA -428 and Precise Plan Amendment 97 -3, the City Council makes the

The PP 97 -3 amendment is the first amendment to the original Precise Plan (PP 4 -77). The applicant requests to amend the boundary of the original Precise Plan located at 1950 -2000 East Imperial Highway to conform to the adjusted lot line boundaries which are being reconfigured pursuant to the Lot Line Adjustment application (SUB 97 -3) which is being processed concurrently The Lot Line Adjustment may be approved by the Director of Planning and Building Safety, and does not require approval of the Planning Commission or the City Council. RECOMMENDATION The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission review the facts and required findings related to the proposed project, and adopt Resolution No. 2405, Recommending Approval of Precise Plan 97 -3 to the City Council. SITE DESCRIPTION The project site is located within the northeast portion of the City of El Segundo approximately one (1) mile to the west of the San Diego Freeway (Interstate -405 (1- 405)). The existing boundary area of Precise Plan 4 -77 is approximately 10.4 acres (453,024 square feet) and entails one parcel of land The proposed precise plan boundary would be approximately 12 47 acres (543,193 square feet) and consists of two parcels of land. The project is bounded by Imperial Highway on the north, Selby Street on the west, Nash Street on the east, and Maple Avenue on the south Other local jurisdictions bordering or near the site include the City of Los Angeles located immediately north of Imperial Highway U3G 3 Iffirt The project site is currently developed and has been historically used for office, research and development, and manufacturing uses since 1977. The City s General Plan designates the site for Light Industrial development. The project is located within a highly urbanized environment The topography of the site is quite level and contains no unique geologic features. Landscaping is limited to the areas adjacent to Imperial Highway on the north, and Hughes Way (private street) to the east SURROUNDING AREA The area surrounding the project site is highly urbanized. Land uses are comprised of office, research and development, manufacturing, warehousing, and other similar uses to the east, west, and south The Los Angeles International Airport and support facilities are located to the north across Imperial Highway. There are no residential uses located in the immediate project vicinity. The nearest residential uses are approximately 1,200 feet west of the project Topographically, the project vicinity is generally level to rolling terrain and is currently developed. Surrounding land uses are as described in the following table: Source City of Et Segundo Precise Plan The purpose of the ongmal Precise Plan was to accommodate the height of two proposed buildings at 1970 and 2000 East Imperial highway (buildings designated now by Hughes as R -2 and R -1, respectively) At that time, the height limit in the M -1 Zone was 75 feet, thus the two buildings, which are 10 and 12 stones in height, respectively, were planned to exceed the height limit It appears that a Precise Plan was deemed to be the appropriate mechanism for achieving this Building S -12 at 1950 East Imperial Highway is within the Precise Plan boundary, but was constructed prior to the approval of Precise Plan 4 -77 Building R -3 at 1960 East Imperial Highway, which is also within the existing precise plan boundary area, was not a part of the original application, but was constructed afterwards without amending the Precise Plan Building S -15 at 1920 East Imperial Highway, which is now proposed to be added to the Precise Plan boundary, was constructed in 1957 A Precise Plan is a term for a development application that is no longer used in the City for new projects A Precise Plan would now be called a Specific Plan. A Precise Plan amends the Zoning Map by establishing permitted uses and development standards that apply only to the area covered by the plan No Variances are required for Precise Plans; the plan's approval establishes the required development standards for a project Q3- 071 The adoption of a Precise Plan is a legislative act by the City Council, based upon a recommendation from the Planning Commission. There are no specific findings that must be adopted for an amendment of a Precise Plan. However, the City must, in approving a Precise Plan or Precise Plan Amendment, make findings related to the following three (3) areas, 1 The California Environmental Quality Act, 2. The consistency of the action with the City's General Plan; and, 3. A finding that the action is necessary to carry out the general purposes of the Zoning Code. Light Industrial (M -1) Zone The following standards apply to development in the M -1 Zone. Although the parcels exceed the maximum FAR, the proposed Precise Plan Amendment is intended to permit the existing non - conforming FAR for the larger C,72 M -1 ZONE STANDARDS PROPOSED Parcel A Parcel B Min. lot size 10,000 s.f. 121,532 s f 421,660 s f.

No new construction is proposed and the parcels will remain subject to the conditions of approval for Precise Plan 4 -77. These setbacks are considered legal non - conforming and would not be altered by the proposed Precise Plan Amendment or Lot Line Adjustment The required parking for Hughes Aircraft Company has historically been tracked for the whole North Campus facility, instead of parcel by parcel due to the contiguous nature of the Hughes owned properties and the shared parking arrangement With the separation of ownership, parking for Parcel 3 (Raytheon) has been calculated separately from the remainder of the Hughes North Campus which includes Parcels 1, 2, 4 of the proposed Lot Line Adjustment and other parcels in the immediate area Through the recordation of an Off -site Parking Covenant, Raytheon will be required to continue to provide 656 parking spaces on their property to meet the required parking for other Hughes North Campus buildings the area. There will be a surplus of 267.8 parking spaces on the Raytheon property upon completion of the Precise Plan Amendment, the Lot Line Adjustment, and parking covenant Hughes is proposing to include additional buildings and parking areas into the overall campus parking plan. These buildings include 521, S22, S30, S31 and S50 and associated parking lots GENERAL PLAN The General Plan Land Use Designation for the site, as well as the zoning, is Light Industrial (M -1). In accordance with the General Plan, "Light Industrial allows light manufacturing, warehousing, research and development, and office The M -1 designation allows an FAR of 0.6 Findings must be made that the project is in conformance with the overall goals, policies and objectives of the General Plan in order to approve the project Interpretation of conformity with the applicable provisions of the General Plan is a policy decision that is determined at the discretion of the Planning Commission and the City Council The proposed project is in conformance with many General Plan goals, policies, and objectives related to Economic Development, Land Use, and Circulation The following Economic Development objectives and policies directly apply, ED 1 -1 1, ED 1-12, ED 1 -2, ED 1 -2 2, ED 1 -2 3, ED 2 -1 1, and ED 2 -1 3 which relate to prioritizing economic development, diversification of an economic base, targeting industries that balance economic development and quality of life goals, balancing development with resource and infrastructure capacity, maintaining public sector support of the business community, and developing a framework in which interest groups can work together to support economic growth Many Land Use Element goals, policies and objectives apply including, LU 4-4 and LU 5 -1 These issues relate to providing synergistic relationships with mixed uses and attracting economically beneficial industrial uses Circulation Element policies and objectives also apply to the proposal including, C 1 -1 13, C 1 -3 2, C 2 -3 2, C 3 -1, C 3 -1 1, C 3 -1 2, and C 3-15 These policies identify the need for full examination of project traffic impacts and complete mitigation, incorporation of off - street loading facilities, ensure that transit planning is considered and integrated into project planning, evaluation of circulation system impacts, full mitigation of all project- related circulation impacts, integration of transportation 4 033 X73 with land uses and surrounding environments, and requiring developers to pay for mitigation measures The application also includes a Lot Line Adjustment to separate the legal ownership of property within the precise plan area Although the lot line is not subject to approval by the Planning Commission, Staff feels it is important for the Commission to understand the context of the proposed lot line adjustment, in order to fully evaluate the proposed precise plan amendment boundaries. The Lot Line Adjustment consists of four (4) existing parcels, located at 1930 -2060 East Imperial Highway and 901 North Nash Street, in the Light Industrial (M -1) Zone. The site contains four (4) existing legally created lots. Parcel 1 consists of approximately 54,450 square feet (1 25 acres), Parcel 2 consists of approximately 32,234 square feet (0.75 acres), Parcel 3 consists of approximately 507,038 square feet (11 64 acres), and Parcel 4 consists of approximately 1,424,412 square feet (32 7 acres) Parcel 1 and 2 are currently developed with 31,056 and 20,357 square foot industrial /manufacturing buildings, respectively Parcel 3 contains four buildings used for industrial /manufacturing, office, and supporting facilities totaling 926,211 square feet. Parcel 4 includes seven (7) industrial /manufacturing, office, and supporting facilities with buildings totaling 985,480 square feet With a 50% floor area ratio (FAR) reduction for High and Medium Bay Labs, as allowed by the Zoning Code, the building square footage on Parcel 4 equates to 789,582 square feet The applicant is proposing to adjust the lot lines between the four existing parcels creating four new lots, with net parcel sizes of 121,532 square feet (2.79 acres) for Parcel 1; 36,590 square feet (0 84 acres) for Parcel 2, 421,660.4 (9 68 acres) for Parcel 3; and, 1,438,786.8 (33.03 acres) for Parcel 4 The adjustment in the lot lines would result in a net FAR (with the High and Medium Bay Lab FAR reduction) of 2 47, 0 56, 1 56, and 0 55 on Parcel 1 through 4, respectively The Light Industrial (M -1) Zone regulations permit an FAR of 0.60 No construction of buildings on any of the four parcels is included in the applicant's request The applicant's intention with reconfiguring the parcels is to convey title for Parcel 3, consistent with the corporate restructuring, to the Raytheon Corporation The Subdivision Map Act, Section 66412 (d), and Chapter 19 16 of the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) allow lot line adjustments between existing adjacent parcels where land is taken from one parcel and added to the adjacent parcel and a greater number of parcels is not created. The proposed lot line adjustment would increase the size of Parcel 1, 2, and 4, and decrease the size of Parcel 3 The adjustment would not result in the creation of any new parcels 03 n74 The following standards apply to newly created parcels in the M -1 Zone- The overall FAR for the four new parcels will be the same as the existing four parcels. These setbacks are considered legal non - conforming and would not be altered by the proposed Lot Line Adjustment. Access to proposed Parcels 1 and 2 would be from Selby Street Access to Parcels 3 would be from Imperial Highway and Maple Avenue, and access to Parcel 4 would be from Imperial Highway, Nash Street, and Maple Avenue The applicant has indicated that all existing easements (whether they are access, utility, or other types) would be reciprocal between all four (4) proposed parcels. Approval of the Lot Line Adjustment will be conditioned to maintained all existing easements between the four (4) parcels Some setbacks are existing legal non - conforming, however any setbacks to new lot lines must comply with the current Zoning Code Additionally, parking must be provided in accordance with Zoning Code requirements, either on each individual site or off -site, in the same general area (300 feet), through the recordation of a Parking Covenant, or, a Parking Demand Study must be approved if reduced parking is proposed. No reduction is proposed as a part of this current application /process CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT The proposed project is Categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15315, as a Class 15 project (Minor Lot Line Adjustment not resulting in the creation of any new parcel) INTER- DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS The project application and plans were circulated to inter- Departmental Staff for review and comment Written comments had been received from all Departments, and with the exception of the City Manager's office and the Finance Director, the Departments had no comments on the 6 035 075 M-1 ZONE STANDARDS PROPOSED Parcel Parcel Parcel Parcel Min. lot size 10,000 s f 121,532 s.f 36,590 s f 421,660 4s f. 1,438,786.8 s f Min. lot width 100 ft 254.16 ft. 16123 ft 205.74 ft. 1056 91 ft Max.

The previous City Manager expressed concern that the proposed lot line Adjustment boundary does not include a portion of the private Hughes Way driveway to Parcel B of the Precise Plan (Parcel 3 of the Lot Line Adjustment) While the Planning Commission will not be reviewing the Lot Line Adjustment, it should be pointed out that the boundary line of the Precise Plan for Parcel B coincides with the eastern lot line of Parcel 3 of the Lot Line Adjustment. The proposed lot line has been revised since the previous City Manager reviewed the plans The current proposed configuration of this parcel does include access to this private driveway from Parcel B of the Precise Plan The eastern boundary of Parcel B is now proposed to be the centerline of the private Hughes Way driveway Since the properties were under common ownership, the issue of "legal access" to the property was not previously raised as a concern. The previous Finance Director commented that the subdivision implications on property tax revenue to the City should be assessed Upon the recording of the Lot Line Adjustment with the County Recorder, the properties would probably be reassessed by the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor. Since the total lot area in the four affected parcels will not change and the building square footage is not proposed to change, Staff would not expect the property taxes to be significantly altered. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It should be noted that on March 17, 1998, the City Council Adopted an Amendment to the Zoning Code (EA -419, ZTA 97 -3) to allow the Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) from certain properties west of Sepulveda Boulevard to certain properties east of Sepulveda Boulevard. Parcel B was formerly owned by Hughes Space and Communications, which became the Raytheon Company through the corporate restructuring As far as Staff is aware, The Raytheon Company does not currently own property west of Sepulveda Boulevard. Therefore, it is not likely that Raytheon would be in a position to take advantage of the TDR regulations to add additional square footage to the property The two buildings on Parcel A of the Precise Plan would be eligible to receive development rights from Hughes Aircraft Company owned property west of Sepulveda Boulevard, but there is little undeveloped land remaining on Parcel A to accommodate any additional development Therefore, Staff does not feel the density on either parcel in the amended Precise Plan area would be increased through the use of the TDR regulations EXHIBITS A -[)Felt Rese'wt,nn 419 2406 B Applications C Lot Line Adjustment Maps D City Council Resolution No 2818 Prepared by Paul Garry Assistant Planner 7 036 076 Reviewed by. «re) Reviewed and Approved as to Form by Chris Cheleden, Assistant City Attorney Approved by: and Budding Safety P\ projects \ea428 \ea428 -2 sr 037 1'77 spay C/ el 96r "?• t /0 DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING 350 Main Street AND BUILDING SAIPM, LI Segundo, CA 90245 (310) 322 -4670 FAX (310) 322 -4167 APPLICATION FOR AN AMENDMENT TO A PRECISE PLAN PROJECTNo Ekttatpp 97- -3, SUB `1_7-3 HUGHES SPACE AND COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, Budding 001, MIS A140 Date'_th_ The applicant. 200 Nodh Sepulveda Eoulevard,M Segundo, CA 90245-0956 1310)662-9561 aAITHEON COMPANY, 141 Spring Street, L"ingtori, MA 01273 (731)560 -3667 (Check One) Name Address Phone Owner R Lessee Agent (Same as above) Property Owner's Name Address Phone Property Situated at (See attached legal description) (Exnet legal description Provide attachment if necessary) General Location _1930 -2030 Imperial Highway between Selby Street and Nash Street Address and Street, Avenue Street, Avenue Existing Zoning M -1, Precise Plan No. 4 -77 Request Under the provisions of Title 20, Section 20 86 of the Municipal Code, application for consideration of an amendment to a Precise Plan for the above described property 1 Describe in detail the entire pi oposed project (type of construction, materiels to be used), uses involved (e g, bank, general office, industrial, restaurant, etc) including buildings and other equipment necessary to the project See attached Project Description 2 Describe the existing development on the site Include square footages and uses of each budding on the site See attached Project Description 3 Explain in detail why this particular site is especially suited for the proposed development.

No additional density or development is proposed or permitted by the requested Precise Plan amendment. The existing Precise Plan encompasses approximately 10.4 acres of an approximately 50 acre campus This 10.4 acre Precise Plan area includes a total of four (4) buildings with approximately 926,211 square feet of floor area as shown below: Existing Precise Plan (10.4 acres) Building 5-12 Building R -01 Building R -02 Building R -03 Total FAR = 269,391 sq ft. = 339,389 = 301,431 (mcl. basement) = 16,000 = 926,211 sq. ft = 2.04 These buildings consist of approximately 611,782 sq. ft. of office space and 314,429 sq. ft of Lab /R &D space. After recordation of the proposed lot line adjustment, these buildings will be located on two (2) separate lots, with Building S-12 being separated from Buildings R -01, R -02 and R -03 Building 5 -12 will be located on a lot that will also include Building 5-15, which is approximately 31,056 sq ft. in size and will be hereinafter referred to as the "HSC" property Buildings R -01, R -02 and R -03 will be located on a second lot within the Precise Plan area and will be hereinafter referred to as the "RAYTHEON "property. The purpose of the lot line adjustment is to facilitate separate ownership of the parcel which will contain only Buildings R -01, R -02 and R -03. 071Pr)ctDe IHUC-2 da MAY 1 01999 056 780 The amended Precise Plan, with its boundary adjusted as proposed will include the building areas as shown below: Amended Precise Plan (12.47 acres) Parcel A (2.79 acres) Building S-12 = 269,391 sq ft. Building S-15 = 31,056 Subtotal = 300,447 sq ft. FAR = 247 Parcel B (9.68 acres) Building R -01 = 339,389 sq ft. Building R -02 = 301,431 Building R -03 = 16,000 Subtotal = 656,820 sq ft FAR = 156 Total Precise Plan = 957,267 sq. ft FAR = 1.76 The existing and proposed Precise Plan boundaries are shown on the attached exhibit map A legal description of the proposed amended Precise Plan area is also attached. Existing Parking arking Requirements: The City has maintained a Parking Study for the total Hughes campus of which the Precise Plan parcels are a part. Tlus study includes an accounting of total code parking requirements for the Hughes north campus site as well as a count of total parking provided on the site. As per the most recent revision available from the City, there are currently 3,946 parking spaces provided on the site, while 3,708 spaces are required to satisfy code, resulting in a surplus of 238 parking spaces Future Parking Requirements The purpose of the lot line adjustment and Precise Plan amendment, which are the subject of this application, is to facilitate a separation of ownership of the Raytheon Parcel which currently contains Buildings R -01, R -02, R -03 and S12. Due to the separation of ownership, it is necessary to recalculate the parking requirements for each company assuming two independent campuses with separate ownership This results in a slight increase in the parking requirements for each 05i 071PT,«0�1HUC -2 da 2 081 resulting ownership when compared to the most current calculation for the site based upon a single ownership A calculation of the revised code parking requirements for the separate ownerships is shown on the attached Table #1. With respect to parking to be provided, several clarifications to existing City records have been reflected on this table Specifically these are: 1. A reduction of 28 spaces due to construction of the S02B building and associated road reconfiguration. 2. A reduction of 18 spaces which were incorrectly added to the "balance extra" in conjunction with the Lot T restnpe. Lot T is a separate parcel, and its parking count should not have been included within the site parking calculation. Lot T will, however, provide 562 parking spaces towards satisfying the HSC property parking requirements 3 The notation regarding a 48sf addition to S03A (Plan Check #357 -97) has been revised to indicate a 480sf addition. This addition has been incorporated into the Parking Study building square footage for S03A. 4 The notation regarding conversion of High Bay to office and R &D in S25 (Plan Check #990 -97) has been revised to indicate demolition of 20,400sf of Warehouse (three levels) and construction of 6,800sf of Lab (non -high bay, one level) and 6,800sf of Office (one level). This conversion has been incorporated into the Parking Study building square footage for S25. 5 The notation regarding inclusion of S22 into the parking campus (Plan Check 992- 98) has been accomplished by adding the S22 square footage into the Parking Study This reflects the addition of 13,927sf Warehouse 3,160sf Lab /R &D, 8,298sf Office. A total of 38 parking spaces located on the S22 parcel have been added into the HSC Campus Parking available 6 The notation regarding demolition of 4 parking spaces resulting from the S49 Central Plant Upgrade (Plan Check #918 -98) have been incorporated into the HSC Campus Parking available 7 The HSC Campus Parking available (per Table #1) has been amended to incorporate 1,187 parking spaces located on the S50 parcel (Lots J and K) and 43 spaces located on the S21 parcel (Lot Z5) The square footage attributable to Buildings S21 and S50 have been added into the Parking Study. Based upon HSC records and incorporating the items noted above the combined amount of site parking provided is 5,747 parking spaces, reflecting both the HSC and RAYTHEON Campuses. This total amount includes 2,271 parking spaces constituting the RAYTHEON Campus, located within the R01 /R02 /R03 parcel and 3,476 parking spaces constituting the HSC Campus, located primarily on HSC owned parcels but also mcluding 656 parking spaces located on the R01 /R02 /RO3 parcel. The HSC parking spaces on the R01 /R02/R03 parcel shall be subject to a 99 year lease from RAYTHEON 05 C. 071hldD IHUC -2 dw s 082 to HSC for which the applicant expects to record covenants and /or agreements for the benefit of HSC insuring the maintenance of this parking. The amount of parking required for the RAYTHEON ownership based on the current usage of the property is 1,347 parking spaces. The amount of parking currently required for the HSC ownership based on the current usage of the property is 3,053 parking spaces. For reference, in addition to the parking spaces located on the R01 /R02 /R03 parcel the HSC Campus currently consists of various HSC owned parcels and includes parking lots A, B, C, D, E, J, K, NI, N2, N3, T, U3, Z, Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5. 05 071Pr)CtDe IffUG2dm so Attachment to Lot Line Adjustment Application Existing Lot Areas and Floor Areas Parcel No. Lot Area Building Area Building FAR acres (S.F.I Area Parcel 0.75 20,357 20,357 0.63 Parcel 1164 926,211 926,211 1.83 Parcel 4 3270 991,147 792,162 0.57 Note Building areas for FAR calculations include a 50% reduchon applied to high and medium bay floor area Buildings included in floor area calculations for existing parcels are as follows Parcel l S-15 Parcel S-16 Parcel 3 S-12, R -1, R -2, R -3 Parcel 4 S-1, 52, S-2B, S-3, S-3A, S{i, S-24, 525, S-26, 527, S46, S-47, S-48, S49 Attachment to Lot Line Adjustment Application Proposed Lot Areas and Floor Areas Parcel No. Lot Area Building Area Building FAR acres S.F.

ATTEST: City Clerk (SEAL) P Y/6,2,1'"e, Mayor of the City of E1 Segundo, California - 3 - '69 r99 RESOLUTION NO. 2405 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT - 428 (EA -428) AND ADOPTION OF PRECISE PLAN AMENDMENT 97 -3 (PP 97 -3) AS THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO PRECISE PLAN 4 -77 (PP 4 -77), TO ALLOW MODIFICATIONS TO THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PRECISE PLAN AREA AT 1920 -2000 EAST IMPERIAL HIGHWAY. PETITIONED BY HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY. WHEREAS, an application has been received from Hughes Aircraft Company, requesting Approval of an Amendment to Precise Plan 4 -77, to allow modification of the boundaries of the Precise Plan to facilitate the transfer of ownership of a building within the Precise Plan area, and, WHEREAS, this project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15315, as a Class 15 project (Minor Land Division for four of fewer parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning and all services and access are available to the site); WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the application and 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 No 3805), WHEREAS, on May 27, 1999, the Planning Comnussion did hold, pursuant to law, a duly advertised public hearing (Continued from November 13, 1997) on such matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street, and notice of the public hearing was given in the time, form and manner prescribed by law, WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of Envu onmental Assessment EA-428 and Precise Plan Amendment 97 -3, and, WHEREAS, at said heanng the following facts were established The existing Precise Plan boundary consists of one approximately 10 4 acre piece of land with four existing buildings The proposed Precise Plan boundary will consist of two pieces of land totaling approximately 12 47 acres with five buildings Parcel A of the amended Precise Plan will have an area of approximately 121,532 square feet and a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2 47 Parcel B will have an area of approximately 421,660 8 square feet and a FAR of 1 56 The total FAR on the parcels would decrease from a total of approximately 2 04 to 1 76 due primarily to a 2 07 acre increase in the boundary area The purpose of the original Precise Plan (4 -77) was to accommodate the height of two proposed buildings at 1970 and 2000 East Imperial highway (buildings designated now by Hughes as R -2 and R -1, respectively) At that time, the height limit in the M -1 Zone was 75 feet, thus the two buildings, which are 10 and 12 stories in height, respectively, were planned to exceed the height limit li 4 Building S -12 at 1950 East Imperial Highway is within the Precise Plan boundary, but was constructed prior to the approval of Precise Plan 4 -77 Building R -3 at 1960 East Imperial Highway, which is also within the existing Precise Plan boundary area, was not a part of the original application, but was constructed afterwards without amending the precise plan Building S -15 at 1920 East Imperial Highway, which is now proposed to be added to the Precise Plan boundary, was constructed in 1957 5 The proposed boundaries of the Precise Plan Amendment will coincide with a proposed Lot Line Adjustment (Subdivision 97 -3) which is been processed concurrently by the Department of Planning and Building Safety, but does not require approval by the Planning Commission or City Council 6 The project site is located within the northeast portion of the City of El Segundo approximately one (1) mile to the west of the San Diego Freeway [Interstate -405 (I -405)] The project is bounded by Imperial Highway on the north, Selby Street on the west, Nash Street on the east, and Maple Avenue on the south Local jurisdictions bordering or near the site include the City of Los Angeles located immediately north of Imperial Highway 7 The area surrounding the project site is highly urbanized Land uses are comprised of office, research and development, manufacturing, warehousing, and other similar uses to the east, west, and south The Los Angeles International Airport is located to the north across Imperial Highway There are no residential uses located in the immediate project vicinity The nearest residential uses are approximately 1,200 feet west of the project Topographically, the project vicinity is generally level to rolling terrain and is currently developed NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, after considering the above facts, the testimony presented at the public hearing, and study of proposed Environmental Assessment EA-428 and Precise Plan Amendment 97 -3, the Planning Commission makes the following findings and Recommends the City Council Approve the Amendment to Precise Plan 4 -77 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT i The proposed project will not have a significant, adverse effect on the environment, because no new development is proposed 2 This project is Categorically Exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15315, as a Class 15 project (Minor Land Division for four or fewer parcels when the division is in conformance with the General Plan and zoning and all services and access are available to the site) 3 That when considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project will have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the project is in a built -out urban environment 4 That the Planning Commission thereby Recommends that the City Council authorize and direct the Director of Planning and Building Safety to file with any appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and De Mmimis finding pursuant to AB 3158 and the California Code of Regulations Within ten (10) days of the approval of the Categorical Exemption, the applicant shall submit to the City of El Segundo a fee of $25 00 required by the County of Los Angeles for the filing of this certificate along with the required Notice of Exemption As approved in AB 3158, the statutory requirements of CEQA will not be met and no vesting shall occur until this condition is met and the required notices and fees are filed with the County 2 101 PRECISE PLAN That the proposed location of the project is in accord with the purposes of the zone in which the site is located The proposed project is consistent with the intent of the Light Industrial (M -1) Zone which allows a mix of industrial, office, and research and development uses 2 Precise Plan 4 -77, which established the design of several of the existing facilities (1970 and 2000 East Imperial Highway) and the placement of essential related facilities such as parking, traffic circulation, and loading, is not significantly altered by the proposed amendment The amendments are consistent with the purposes of a Precise Plan which, like a Specific Plan or a Planned Residential Development, provides the flexibility to allow for deviation from specific site development standards to achieve the overall design for the site GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY The General Plan Land Use Designation for the site, as well as the zoning, is Light Industnal (M -1) In accordance with the General Plan, "The Light Industrial designation allows a mixture of uses including office, manufacturing, research and development, and warehousing " The Light Industrial designation allows an FAR of 0 6 The FAR within the precise plan boundaries will decrease from 2 04 approved by Precise Plan 4 -77 to 176 Findings must be made that the project is in conformance with the goals, policies and objectives of the General Plan in order to approve the project The proposed project is in conformance with many General Plan goals, policies, and objectives related to Economic Development, Land Use, and Circulation The following Economic Development Element objectives and policies apply, ED 1 -1 1, ED 1-12, ED 1 -2, ED 1 -2 2, ED 1 -2 3, ED 2 -1 1, and ED 2-13 which relate to prioritizing economic development, diversification of an economic base, targeting industries that balance economic development and quality of life goals, balancing development with resource and infrastructure capacity, maintaining public sector support of the business community, and developing a framework in which interest groups can work together to support economic growth Several Land Use Element goals, policies and objectives apply including, LU 44 and LU 5 -1 These issues relate to providing synergistic relationships with mixed uses and attracting economically beneficial industrial uses Circulation Element policies and objectives also apply to the proposal including, C 1 -1 13, C 1 -3 2, C 2 -3 2, C 3 -1, C 3 -1 1, C 3 -1 2, and C 3-15 These policies identify the need for full examination of project traffic impacts and complete mitigation, incorporation of off -street loading facilities, ensure that transit planning is considered and integrated into project planning, evaluation of circulation system impacts, full mitigation of all project- related circulation impacts, integration of transportation with land uses and surrounding environments, and requiring developers to pay for mitigation measures NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission hereby Recommends to the City Council Approval of Environmental Assessment EA -428 and Precise Plan Amendment 97 -3 as described below s 102 The boundary of the Precise Plan is amended to include the building and property located around 1920 East Imperial Highway (Hughes Building 5 -15) The legal description of Precise Plan 4 -77 is amended as described in Exhibit A and depicted in Exhibit B The Precise Plan may consist of two parcels under different ownership The overall floor area ratio of Precise Plan 4 -77 shall be limited to a maximum FAR of 176 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission hereby Recommends to the City Council Approval of Environmental Assessment EA -428 and Precise Plan Amendment 97 -3, subject to the following conditions The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of Parcel A and Parcel B of the amended precise plan shall not exceed 2 47 and 1 56, respectively The Amendment shall not bestow any additional development rights for the properties or buildings within the Precise Plan boundaries 2 Within 30 days from the approval date, the applicant shall submit a Reciprocal Access Agreement to the Director of Planning and Building Safety for

For the last two years the City has relied on LA County for animal control needs As of June 30, 1999, the current two year contract will expire The City has paid L A County approximately $13,000 a year for the last two years plus licensing fees Due to a lack of satisfaction with L.A County's basic animal control services, it has been determined that additional services should be purchased to fulfill the needs of our community These additional services include • A two year contract with a 30 day cancellation option • A permanently assigned officer to service El Segundo an additional 16 hours a week • Use of a "no kill" satellite facility, should one be established in El Segundo within the contract term • Increased effort to find homes for stray animals via an L A County Animal Control Websde The basic L A County contract was modified in an attempt to improve responsiveness and services to the city. The increased services will cost an additional $30,000, increasing the yearly costs to approximately $43,000 An additional $5,000 is requested to cover unexpected expenses *There is an agreement between L A County and the City of El Segundo to locate an adequate space and establish a "no kill" satellite facility in El Segundo Should this become reality within the contract term, there may be additional costs associated with staffing and maintaining the facility The $5,000 cushion should be adequate to cover El Segundo's shared portion of those expenses Volunteers from the community have offered to assist at the L A County facilities to improve the level of care to stray animals, and increase the number of pet adoptions within the facilities DISCUSSION Deputy Director of L A County Animal Care and Control, Judy Meraz, was consulted by Assistant City Attorney Chris Cheleden on the proposed modifications She approved the changes and was faxed a copy of the revised contract The revision can be found on page 6 of the attached document.
