Howie's Doggie Daycare is involved with organizing a Professional Association of Dog Daycare (PADD). Howie's Doggie Daycare has been and is a current member of Pet Sitters International since 1994. Howie's Doggie Daycare has voluntarily installed an Alpine Air Purification System. The City of El Segundo nor -Los Angeles County Animal Control required an air purification and /or ventilation system. Howie's Doggie Daycare is extremely unique because Howie's has a total open environment. Howie's Doggie Daycare is park like during the day and home like at night. There are no cages and /or suites. Howie's will put out dogs beds and /or blankets at night and the dog chooses as to where they want to sleep. Howie's Doggie Daycare self imposed the maximum number of `dogs to be 25 during the day and 20 overnights. The El Segundo Planning Commission DID NOT set the maximum number of dogs at Howie's Doggie Daycare. The El Segundo Planning Commission agreed with Howie's Doggie Daycare self - imposed number of dogs at any given time. P. O.

The fire alarms were given to Howie's Doggie Daycare by the fire department and subsequently installed as directed by the El Segundo Fire Department. No fire sprinklers were required or recommended. November 12, 1999, the County of Los Angeles Animal Control, Sergeant V. Lamont, inspected Howie's Doggie Daycare. Howie's Doggie Daycare passed inspection and received a license to conduct business as a "Dog Kennel." Sergeant V. Gamont commented that Howie's Doggie Daycore was the first and only doggie daycare in Los Angeles County to request and receive said license as of this date. Grateful Dogs received approval by the El Segundo City Council on November 1, 1999 to conduct business without said license from County of Los Angeles Animal Control Howie's Doggie Daycare has a minimal number of dogs and the City of El, Segundo and Los Angeles County Animal Control requires no soundproofing. Howie's Doggie Daycare contacted the El Segundo Business Licensing Department and was informed that Airport Kennel Inn has a different type of business license and could not provided the maximum number of dogs allowed at their facility at any given time. Grateful Dogs is permitted 30 dogs, 5 dogs more than Howie's Doggie Daycare during' the day and 10 more dogs at night. Howie's Doggie Daycare has invested itself in the City of El Segundo by: • Using a local contractor, Roger Yeaton. • Joining the El Segundo Chamber of Commerce. • Participating in a variety of events in the city of El Segundo, most recently to opening of the Dog Park.

El Segundo city council 04/05/00 Dear members of the council: This is a request to sell food and liquor on Sunday, May 7th, from 9:00am-- 8:00pm at St. Anthony's Parish hall which is located at 205 Lomita St. between Franklin and Grand Av. in El Segundo. ph# 310.414.9730 Parishioners of the Hispanic council of St. Anthony's Church in El Segundo would like to make a fund raising event on behalf of its new Parish hall construction which has been under way during the last few months. Many of you are aware that our parish has been involved in the planning and fund raising for the construction of this project. More than half of the money needed for this project has already been raised in cash contributions or in the form of financial promises by supporters of this noble cause. However, we are still in need of funding for a remaining amount of around $600,000 which has been acquired in the form of a low- interest bank loan. One of the ideas to obtain funds is the planning of different events during the year. The event at hand is a 5 de Mayo celebration on Sunday, May 7th at St Anthony's Parish hall and we think it could be a definite success. Last year we had the honor of having several dignitaries of our city during our festival and it was a day of fun and enjoyment for our community. We are really looking forward to another successful day on behalf of this altruistic event. Part of this year's proceeds will be for a mural of Our Lady of Guadalupe that will be placed inside the southwest corner of St. Anthony's Church. Dear members of the council; we would like you to consider our petition for a one -day food and liquor sale license to be exercised on the above date. We are expecting an attendance of 400 to 500 people and it will be open to the public. D.J. music will be complementing the event. We will also behaving children games such as Jump for Fun and a Rubber Slide. This event is 100% altruistic and all of the proceeds, as stated above, will be funneled towards the construction of St. Anthony's Church new Parish hall and the above mentioned mural. If you have any questions concerning the legitimacy of this event please contact Rev. Fr. James F. O'Grady at 310.322.4392. For questions regarding the specifics please contact me at Hm. 310.322.9544 or Wk. 310.545.6670.

(Environmental Assessment No. EA -503, Conditional Use Permit No. 99 -10, and Development Agreement 99 -3). Property owner: Calhotone -Dblt, LLC. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Open Continued Public Hearing; 2) Discussion; 3) Reading of Ordinance by title only 4) Schedule second reading and Adoption of Ordinance on May 2, 2000; and /or, 5) Other possible action /direction. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: On April 4, 2000, the City Council opened the public hearing for the proposed project. After a discussion about the Proposed increase in floor area ratio (FAR), the Council voted to continue the public hearing until April 18, 2000. The project includes adoption of a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts (EA -503) and approval of a Development Agreement (DA 99 -3) to allow the construction of a four level parking structure containing 173 parking spaces with a 1,800 square foot meeting room on the ground floor. The additional 84 guestrooms would be constructed on four floors above the new parking structure. The entire structure will be situated adjacent to the existing 215 room Doubletree Hotel replacing an existing 78 space surface parking lot. Through the Development Agreement, the developer would construct a left -turn pocket on northbound Continental Boulevard at the comer of Continental Boulevard and Grand Avenue. The property is in the Corporate Office (CO) Zone, which requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for hotels and motels east of Sepulveda Boulevard and west of Aviation Boulevard. On March 23, 2000, the Planning Commission approved CUP 99 -10. The CUP does not require approval by the City Council. The Commission also reviewed and recommended approval of the proposed Development Agreement. All the proposed CUP conditions will be incorporated into the Development Agreement Ordinance. The Commission did express some concern with the lack of setbacks and the associated setback landscaping. The Commission added language to the draft Ordinance to require enhancement of the existing hotel landscaping at the entrance court to the hotel and along the Grand Avenue street frontage to offset the lack of setback landscaping. A complete project description, analysis, and background information is included in the accompanying Planning Commission staff report and selective (non - duplicative) attachments.

In response, staff has prepared the following information for your reference related to other hotel developments. There was no maximum FAR for the C -2 Zone in the Zoning Code at the time of construction of the original Hacienda Hotel in 1957 and subsequent expansions in the 1960's. Both the Hacienda Hotel and the Embassy Suites Hotel now exceed the FAR allowed under the current General Commercial (C -3) Zoning for each property. The Courtyard by Marriott, Summerfield Suites, Homestead Village, Hilton Garden Inn, and Residence Inn were built within the allowable FAR's for their respective zones.

No. 85 -1, Parcel ap No. 16854) on March 14, 1985. The project approvals granted entitlements for a 300 room hotel (Parcel A) and approximately 635,632 square feet of mixed -use office and retail /service. Mattel, Inc. and a parking structure occupy half of the proposed mixed -use space (Parcel B). A second office tower to be located directly north of the Mattel building (Parcel C) retains entitlements through an amendment to their original Development Agreement approved in 1994. As depicted on the attached excerpt from the original Development Agreement (Exhibit No. 6), the Doubletree Hotel was approved with a FAR of 1.55, the Mattel building was approved with a 1.91 FAR, and the still unbuilt Phase 3 building may have a 1.96 FAR. The original Development Agreement also incorporated a provision to allow the expansion of the hotel from 1.55 to 2.00 FAR in order to increase the number of guestrooms from 215 to 300. However, this entitlement expired in 1990 with the end of the term of the original Development Agreement. FAR Calculation For reference purposes, when FAR is calculated for a building, parking is not included in the floor area, thereby reducing the FAR. Unlike most hotels, the Doubletree Hotel shares a parking garage with Mattel on an adjacent lot. The parking structure is on approximately 50,000 square feet of lot area. If this parking garage were considered a part of the Doubletree Hotel lot (Parcel A), the FAR would be reduced from 223 to 1.45, with a corresponding increase in Mattel's FAR on Parcel B from 1.91 to 2.66. 013 EA -503, CUP 99 -10, DA 99 -3 City Council Staff Report April 18, 2000 Fiscal Impacts. Page 3 In a letter to City staff, the applicant estimated the annual Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) from the expansion of the hotel to be $212,000 based on an occupancy rate of 80 %, which has been their historical experience, and an expected average daily rate of $108.00 after completion of the addition. Planning staff has also prepared an estimate based on the actual amount of TOT received from the existing hotel over the past three years. Based on the average TOT paid per room over this period, staff estimated that the hotel expansion would generate approximately $140,000 per year in additional revenue for the City. Staff accepts that if the room rates increase upon completion of the hotel expansion and other planned improvements in the existing hotel, that the TOT could be higher than staffs estimate. The City would also realize increased property tax revenue based on the value of the proposed improvements. Traffic A Traffic Impact Report was prepared by KAKU Associates for the project proposed project. The analysis examined existing and future traffic conditions in the surrounding area to determine if the proposed hotel would create significant traffic impacts in the area. The report used the traffic counts recently prepared for the Circulation Element update as the baseline traffic condition. The report indicated that the project would generate 749 average daily trips, of which 56 trips would be during the a.m. peak period and 60 trips would be during the p.m. peak period. The report concluded that the proposed hotel would not significantly impact any intersections in the project areas. The proposed project would be required to pay approximately $90,000 in one -time traffic impact mitigation fees. Essentially, the hotel serves to reduce traffic generated by the nearby office buildings. This is because weekday guests can walk (rather than drive) to several major companies in the immediate area. This factor has recently been increased with the addition of the Continental Grand Plaza II project and the Grand Avenue Corporate Center developments. 41, P: W rojectsW26 -050 \EA -427%EA- 503.ais -2.doc 014 ORDINANCE NO.

Public Resources Code Section 21000 et sea. The Initial Study demonstrated that the project would not cause any significant environmental impacts. Accordingly, a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( "MND ") was prepared and circulated for public review and comment between March 2 and March 21, 2000; and, 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 EI Segundo Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Resolution 3805); and, WHEREAS, on March 23, 2000, the Planning Commission did hold, pursuant to law, duly advertised public hearings on such matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street, and notices of the public hearing was given in the time, form and manner prescribed by law and adopted Resolution No. 2473 approving Conditional Use Permit No. 99 -10, and adopted Resolution No. 2474 recommending approval of the Environmental Assessment No. 503 and Development Agreement No. 99 -3; and, WHEREAS, at the duly scheduled meeting of the City Cdbhcil of the City of El Segundo on April 4 and 18, 2000, a duly. advertised public hearing was held on this matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street; and, WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of Environmental Assessment No. EA -503 and Development Agreement No. 99 -3; and, WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established: 1. The proposed project is a Conditional Use Permit (CUP No. 99 -10) and an eight year Development Agreement (DA No. 99 -3) between the City of El Segundo and Calhotone- Dblt, LLC for a proposed 43,000 square foot, 84 room expansion of an existing Doubletree Hotel located on a 1.48 acre lot at 1985 East Grand Avenue. 2. The General Plan land use designation for the site is Corporate Office and the zoning is Corporate Office (CO). The General Plan designation and zone allow hotels as a use which serves corporate offices. ORDINANCE NO. APPROVING EA-503 and DA 99 -3 -3 416100 1:00 P.M. PAGE N0, 1 015 3. The project involves the construction of a four level parking structure containing 173 parking spaces with a 1,800 square foot meeting room on the ground floor. The proposed hotel rooms would be constructed on four floors above the new parking structure. The entire structure will be situated adjacent to the existing 215 room Doubletree Hotel replacing an existing 78 space surface parking lot. A total of 232 parking spaces will be provided between the on -site parking structure and 59 spaces allocated in the Mattel parking structure adjacent to the north of the property. 4. The Development Agreement proposes a term of eight years and requests that the project be exempted from three site development standards contained in the El Segundo Municipal Code. Specifically, the Development Agreement would allow an increase in the legal nonconforming Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 1.55 to 2.23. The current Corporate Office land use designation permits a maximum FAR of 0.8. The proposed hotel would be located with zero setbacks on the north, west, and east side property lines. Finally, due to the zero setback, landscaping in the required setbacks on the north, west, and east side as well as around the building perimeter would not be provided. 5. The Development includes a provision for the developer to design and construct a left -turn pocket in the raised median island for northbound Continental Boulevard at the intersection of Continental Boulevard and Grand Avenue. Currently three of the four sides of this intersection have dedicated left -tum pockets. Only the northbound direction does not have a left -turn pocket. The construction of this improvement will improve traffic circulation by enabling unobstructed through traffic for both northbound lanes on Continental Boulevard. 6. On October 15, 1988, the City approved a Development Agreement (Instrument No. 85- 1229561) for the construction of the Grandway project, which includes the Doubletree Hotel, the Mattel corporate headquarters building and another office building that has not yet been constructed. That Development Agreement authorized the construction of a 216 -room Doubletree Hotel at a 1.55 FAR. Additionally, the Agreement permitted the expansion of the hotel up to 300 rooms. However, the Development Agreement expired on August 31, 1990. Therefore, the right to construct the additional hotel rooms contemplated in the original Development Agreement expired with the Development Agreement on August 31, 1990. -NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that after considering the above facts, the testimony presented at the public hearings, and study of proposed Environmental' Assessment EA -503 and Development Agreement No. 99 -3, the City Council makes the following findings: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 1. That the City of El Segundo has prepared an Initial Study; and, an accompanying Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared demonstrating that the Project would not cause any significant environmental impacts. 2. 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 involves the in -fill development on an existing parking lot in an urban setting. ORDINANCE NO. APPROVING EA -503 and DA 99 -3 -3 4/6100 1:00 P.M. PAGE NO, 2 016 3. That the City Council hereby authorizes the Director of Community, Economic and Development Services to file with the appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and De Minimis finding pursuant to California Assembly Bill (AB) No. 3158 and the California Code of Regulations. Within twenty -four hours of this approval, 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 Determination. As approved for in AB No. 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. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 1. The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan because the General Plan Land Use Designation of Corporate Office Permits Hotels.

Therefore, the location of the use and conditions under which it would operate would not be detrimental or materially injurious to Properties or improvements in the vicinity; and, 5. The project will not adversely affect the orderly development of ro Of property values because the project will complement other development nathe surrounding area thereby serving to enhance the desirability of property in the area. GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY The proposed hotel expansion is consistent with the General Plan in that the project is in conformance with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the General Plan. Specifically, Economic Development Element Goal ED 1, Objective ED1 -2, Land Use Element Goal LU4, Policy LU4 -3.2, Objective LU4-4, and Objective LU5 -1.2 relate to the proposed project in that they address the importance of maintaining economic development as one of the community's top priorities, as well as maintaining public sector support for the business communities, acid encouraging high quality and mixed -use developments which maximize economic benefit, reduce traffic impact and encourage pedestrian environments.

Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall become operative and commence upon the Effective Date and shall remain in effect for a term of 8 years, unless 030 ORDINANCE NO. x - EXHIBIT A - said term is terminated, modified, or extended by circumstance set forth in this Agreement or by mutual consent of the parties hereto. Following the expiration of said term, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no further force and effect; provided, such termination shall not automatically affect any right of the City or Developer arising from City approvals on the Project Site prior to the expiration of the term or arising from the duties of the parties as prescribed in this Agreement. 15. Remedies For Default. It is acknowledged by the Parties that the City would not have entered into this Agreement if it were to have unlimited liability and damages under this Agreement, or with respect to this Agreement, or the application thereof. The Parties agree and recognize that, as a practical matter, it will not be possible physically, financially, and as a matter of land use planning, to restore the Site to its prior state once the construction is commenced. Moreover, Developer has invested a considerable amount of time and financial resources in planning the time, location, intensity of use, improvements and structures for the development of the Project Site. For these reasons, the Parties agree that it will not be possible to determine an amount of monetary damages which would adequately compensate the parties. Therefore, the Parties agree that monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for either party should the other fail to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Developer's remedies under this Agreement shall be limited to the right to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement. The City's remedies under this Agreement shall also include the right to specifically enforce the terms of this Agreement. In addition to specific performance, if the Developer fails to make any payment or complete any other act or performance specified in this Agreement in a reasonable manner, the Developer shall have no further right or entitlement to any building permits or certificates of occupancy for any portion of the Site until the default has been cured in accordance with due process and as provided in this Agreement. The Parties recognize that this section may result in the limitation or cessation of the rights otherwise conferred by this Agreement upon the Devel- oper, including any of the Developer's successors, assigns, transferees, or other persons or entities acquiring title to or otherwise acquiring an interest irdlib Project or any portion thereof. 16. Administration of Aereement and Resolution of Disputes. All decisions by the City staff concerning the interpretation and, administration of this Agreement and the Project which is the subject hereof are appealable to the City Council and all like decisions by the City Council shall be final. However, decisions of the City Council shall also be subject to judicial review pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.5. so long as such action is filed in a court of competent jurisdiction not later than 90 days following the date on which the City's decision becomes final pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6.

Environmental Assessment No. 503, Conditional Use Permit No. 99 -10, and Development Agreement No. 99 -3 David Westcott Calhotone -Dblt, LLC Conditional Use Permit and Development Agreement for an 84 -room expansion of an existing Doubletree Hotel. 1985 East Grand Avenue The proposed project is a Conditional Use Permit and a proposed eight year Development Agreement between the City of El Segundo and Calhotone -Dblt, LLC for a proposed 43,000 square foot, 84 roof* expansion of an existing Doubletree Hotel located on a 1.48 acre lot at 1985 East Grand Avenue. The property is located in the Corporate Office (CO) Zone. Recommendation Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the facts as contained within this report, and adopt Resolution No. 2473, approving Environmental Assessment EA -504 and Conditional Use Permit CUP No. 99 -11, with conditions, and adopt Resolution No. 2474 recommending approval of Development Agreement No. 99 -3 to the City Council. Background The project involves the construction of a four level. parking structure containing 173 parking spaces with a 1,800 square foot meeting room on the ground floor. The proposed hotel rooms would be constructed on four floors above the new 041 parking structure. The entire structure will be situated adjacent to the existing 215 room Doubletree Hotel replacing an existing 78 space surface parking lot. The Development Agreement proposes a term of eight years and requests that the project be exempted from three site development standards contained in the El Segundo Municipal Code. Specifically, the draft Development Agreement would allow an increase in the legal non - conforming Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 1.55 to 2.23. The current Corporate Office land use designation permits a maximum FAR of 0.8. The proposed hotel would be located with zero setbacks on the north, west, and east side property lines. Finally, due to the zero setbacks, landscaping in the required setbacks on the north, west, and east side and around the building perimeter would not be provided. The proposed Development Agreement also includes a provision for the developer to design and construct a left-turn pocket in the raised median island for northbound Continental Boulevard at the intersection of Continental Boulevard and Grand Avenue. Currently three of the four sides of this intersection have dedicated left -turn pockets. Only the northbound direction does not have a left -turn pocket. The construction of this improvement will improve traffic circulation by enabling unobstructed through traffic for both northbound lanes on Continental Boulevard. On October 15, 1988, the City of El Segundo and G & E /Grandway Venture entered into a Development Agreement (Instrument No. 85- 1229561) for the construction of the Grandway project, which includes the Doubletree Hotel, the Mattel corporate headquarters building and another office building that has not yet been constructed. That Development Agreement authorized the construction of a 216 -room Doubletree Hotel. Additionally, the Agreement permitted the expansion of the hotel up to 300 rooms. However, the Development Agreement expired on August 31, 1990. Therefore; the right to construct the additional hotel rooms contemplated in the original Development Agreement expired with the Development Agreement on August 31, 1990. On September 9, 1999, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1312, which amended the Corporate Office Zone to allow hotels and motels, except properties located west of Sepulveda Boulevard and east of Aviation Boulevards with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Prior to this, hotels were not permitted in the CO Zone. They had been a permitted use in the General Commercial (C -3) Zone, which was the zoning at the time of the original development of the Doubletree Hotel in 1988. E 042 IV. Analysis Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses The proposed project is located within the northeast portion of the City of El Segundo, with convenient access to the San Diego (1 -405) Freeway and Glenn Anderson (1 -105) Freeway. This portion of the City is designated as an office and commercial region, which primarily contains the single tenant and mixed -use office buildings, as well as hotel uses. The project site is currently developed with an existing seven story Doubletree Hotel, that contains 215 guestrooms, a 4,356 square foot Club /restaurant, and 2,622 square feet of meeting rooms. According to the applicant, the existing meeting rooms are used exclusively by hotel guests and the Club /restaurant is used on a limited basis by non hotel guests who arrive almost exclusively from the neighboring office buildings. The property is part of a larger development (The Grandway) which includes Mattel's fifteen -story office building and an eight story parking structure adjacent to the north of the proposed hotel building location. The original development also contains approvals for Mattel to build a second office /research and development building and a parking structure on a portion of the property to the north of their existing office. The adjacent land uses immediately north of the Grandway project and the proposed hotel expansion are primarily office, research & development, and light manufacturing. East of the property are office, research and development uses, and a recreational facility. South and west of project are additional office uses. Land Use North: Office, R & D, industrial South: Office East: Office, R & D West: Office Zone Cor*ate Office (CO) Corporate Office (CO) Corporate Office (CO) and Mixed -Use North (MU -N) Corporate Office (CO) 3 043 The following site development standards apply to new projects in the CO Zone: REQUIREMENTS CO ZONE STANDARDS PROPOSED PROJECT Building Area (Floor Area Ratio) 0.8:1 FAR 2.23:1 FAR (Dev. Agr.) Building Height 200' max. 83' Setbacks Front (Grand Avenue) 25' min. 118' Interior (East & West) 15' min. 0' (Dev. Agr.) Rear (North) 10' min. 0' (Dev. Agr.)

(Dev. Agr.) Parking Spaces 231 spaces 232 spaces (173 on -site and 59 off- site) Parking Aisle Width 25' 20 -25' (revision required)' Loading Spaces 2 spaces 2 spaces The required parking aisle widths depicted on the plans show that these dimensions do not meet the Zoning Code requirements for 25' wide aisles. However, since the applicant has been informed of this not deficiency and has requested that these development standards be included in the Development Agreement, the project would be conditioned, if approved, to 4 044 Provide construction plans which demonstrate conformance with the Zoning Code parking aisle requirements. Conditional Use Permit Criteria. Section 20.74.050 of the Zoning Code states that the purpose of a Conditional Use Permit shall be: A. To assure the compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship to other existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use is proposed to be located; B. To assure the proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which the site is located; and, C. To recognize and compensate for potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic and hazards. In accordance with Section 20.74.060 of the Zoning Code, the Planning Commission may grant a Conditional Use Permit if it determines that all the following findings can be met: 1. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of this title and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located. The purpose of the CO Zone is intended to provide for development of office projects. Regulations are designed to promote and control their growth in a favorable environment to all abutting and surrounding land uses. The existing Doubletree Hotel serves to support the existing offr6e uses in the CO Zone and surrounding area. The expansion of the hotel will provide needed capacity in the segment of the hotel market, which is designed to serve the expanding corporate office uses in the immediate vicinity of the project. The opening of the Continental Grand Plaza II office building in 1999 and submittal of building plans for a 125,000 square foot office building nearby are evidence of the growing office market surrounding the proposed hotel expansion. 2. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. The proposed project would be an in -fill project located on a surface parking lot for the existing Doubletree Hotel. An Initial Study of environmental impacts was 5 045 prepared for the project, which included a traffic and parking study and an air quality assessment. The Initial Study concluded that there would be no environmental impacts associated with the project that could not be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Therefore, the location of the use and conditions under which it would operate would not be detrimental or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this chapter. The proposed conditional use complies with the applicable provisions of Chapter 20.74 of the ESMC since proper notice and hearing were provided, proper hearing decision and records will be complied with, and the required findings will be considered. The proposed project meets all of the current Zoning Code requirements with the exception of Floor Area Ratio, building setbacks and setback and building perimeter landscaping. Approval of the project with these three non - complying items requires the approval of a Development Agreement by the City Council. As described and analyzed above, staff believes that there is adequate evidence to support the three required Conditional Use Permit findings, if the proposed conditions of approval are adopted. The Planning Commission may consider and impose additional conditions, which it deems necessary, in order to meet the required Conditional Use Permit findings. General Plan Consistency The General Plan land use designation for the site is Corporate Office. This designation allows offices, restaurants, research and development, and hotels (east of Sepulveda and west of Aviation Boulevarqs) at a maximum floor area restaurantts a d8h telss(with zoned C Conditional al Use (Corporate Office), which Sepulveda and west of Aviation Boulevards) at an FAR of 0.8. The proposed FAR would be 2.23. existing FAR is 1.55 and the The proposed hotel expansion is consistent with the General Plan in that the project is in conformance with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the General Plan. Specifically, Economic Development Element Goal ED1, Objective ED1 -2, Land Use Element Goal LU4, Policy LU4 -3.2, Objective LU4-4, and Objective LU5 -1.2 relate to the proposed project in that they address the importance of maintaining economic development as one of the community's top priorities, as well as maintaining public sector support for the business communities, and encouraging high quality and mixed -use developments which maximize economic benefit, reduce traffic impact and encourage pedestrian environments. By providing additional hotel facilities within the office core of the City, the project will be within walking distance of the businesses that hotel guest will likely be 6 046 visiting. This will tend to reduce traffic from visitors who would otherwise have to stay at business hotels farther away from the office area and drive to reach their destinations within El Segundo. Development A reement Criteria Section 65864 of the California Government Code authorizes the City to enter into Development Agreements with property owners to ensure projects may be built in accordance with the applicable policies, rules, and regulations at the time of approval of the project. A Development Agreement may specify the duration of the Agreement, permitted uses of the property, and provisions for dedications of land for public purposes. The proposed Development Agreement sets an eight year duration of the Agreement, and established exceptions to the Corporate Office Zone development standards for the project which is being entitled. These are Floor Area Ratio, setbacks, and landscaping. The Planning Commission is authorized by City Council Resolution No. 3268 to make a recommendation to the City Council to approve a Development Agreement if the following findings can be made: 1. The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable speck plan; 2. The project is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district in which the real Property is located; 3. The project is in conformity with the public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice; 4. The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare; and 5. The project will not adversely affect the orderly development of Property or the preservation of property values. Due to the existing legal non - conforming 1.55 floor area ratio for the property, the Proposed hotel addition could not be built without a Development Agreement which would authorize the project to increase the non - conforming density. Such an expansion of a non - conformity can not be approved solely through a Variance or Conditional Use Permit proceeding. The development standard exceptions requested by the applicant for property setbacks and landscaping are not required for the project to be developed. However, the project would require extensive redesigning if the full setbacks were included. It is important to note that these setbacks do not face a public - right -of -way. Even if the setbacks were provided they would be would not be visible from the public right -of -way due to the position of the existing Doubletree Hotel building. 7 0 4' Based on the analysis of the Conditional Use Permit, staff believes the required findings for approval of the Development Agreement can also be met. The project is consistent with the purposes of the CO Zone and it is compatible with its surrounding developments. The project will promote public convenience, general welfare, and good land use practice, will not create any unmitigated environmental impacts which would be injurious to the health, safety and general welfare of the community, and would serve to improve property values in the area by improving complementary services to the office uses that predominate in the area. Interdepartmental Comments The project plans, draft Development Agreement, and draft Initial Study were circulated to all inter - departmental staff and their comments are attached to the report (Exhibit G). The Finance, Library, and Recreation and Parks Departments, as well as the City Manager, had no comments on the project. The Public Works Department commented that the applicant should pay a Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee for the additional p.m. peak hour vehicle trips generated by the hotel expansion. The City's Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee Program requires the payment of traffic fees for all new development projects. The Police Department provided comments related to lighting issues, stairwell exits, elevator lobby security, addressing, and guestroom security hardware. The Fire Department commented that the project must comply with all local and State requirements for fire protection and possible underground storage tank provisions for the elevators. The Building Safety Division of the Department of Community, Economic and Development Services commented on the number of handicap accessible parking spaces that are proposed, exiting for the proposed 1,800 square foot meeting room, and the Uniform Building Code classification /occupancy for the parking structure. `staff has incorporated these comments as conditions of approval in draft Resolution No.s 2473 and 2474. If the project is approved, the applicant will be required to submit construction plans which demonstrate conformance with all State and Local regulations including the Uniform Building Code (UBC). No exemptions from the UBC are being requested or may be granted through the Development Agreement. V. Environmental Review A Draft Initial Study was prepared by staff for the project, which identified potential adverse environmental impacts related to transportation /circulation. No significant adverse environmental impacts were identified which could not be mitigated to an insignificant level, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is proposed. The Draft Initial Study was circulated for inter - departmental review and comments, as required by City Council Resolution No. 3805 and State CEQA guidelines. All departments have concurred with the staff recommendation to approve a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact. The Initial 8 01 4 8 Study identified one potentially significant impact for temporary construction parking. During construction of the proposed hotel addition, the existing 78 -space parking lot will be eliminated, thereby reducing the number of parking spaces available to the existing hotel from 137 to 59 spaces. This could lead to a temporary significant impact on parking since there is no on- street parking available in the vicinity of the hotel. The temporary impact can be mitigated by the developer acquiring the rights to additional parking on private property during construction. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant will be required to submit a Temporary Construction Parking Plan, which details the alternative parking arrangements for providing the required parking for the hotel and construction workers during construction of the additional 84 guest rooms.

General Plan Designation: ComoratP nrr,.e 7• Zoning: CorlDorate Office CO 8• Description of Projeet: (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 !f necessary) . The proposed project is a Conditional Use Permit and an eight year Development Agreement between the City of El Segundo and Calhotone -Dblt, LLC for a proposed 43,000 square foot, 84 room expansion of an existing Doubletree Hotel located on a 1.48 acre lot at 1985 East Grand Avenue. The project involves the construction of a four level parking structure containing 173 parking spaces with a 1,800 square foot meeting room on the ground floor. The proposed hotel rooms would be constructed on four floors above the new parking structure. The entire structure will be situated adjacent to the existing 215 room Doubletree Hotel replacing an existing 78 space surface parking lot. The Development Agreement proposes a term of eight years and requests that the project be exempted from three site development standards contained in the El Segundo Municipal Code. Specifically, the Development Agreement would allow an increase in the legal nonconforming Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 1.55 to 2.23. The current Corporate Office land use designation 050 9, 9. permits a maximum FAR of 0.8. The proposed hotel would be located with zero setbacks on the north, west, and east side property lines. Finally, due to the zero setback, landscaping in the required setbacks on the north, west, and east side will not be provided. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: (Briefly describe the projects surroundings) The proposed project is located within the northeast portion of the City of El Segundo, with convenient access to the San Diego (1 -405) Freeway and Glenn Anderson (1 -105) Freeway. This portion of the City is designated as an office and commercial region, which primarily contains the single tenant and mixed -use office buildings, as well as hotel uses. The project site is currently developed with an existing seven story Doubletree Hotel, that contains 215 guest rooms, a restaurant, and several meeting rooms. The property is part of a larger development (The Grandway) which includes a fifteen story office building and an eight story parking structure adjacent to the north of the proposed hotel building location. The adjacent office building is the corporate headquarters for Mattel. The original development also contains approvals for Mattel to build a second office /Research and Development building and a parking structure on the property to the north of their existing office. The subject property is currently zoned as Corporate Office. The adjacent land uses immediately north of the Grandway project and the proposed hotel expansion are primarily office, research & development, and light manufacturing. East of the property are office, research and development uses, and a recreational facility. South and west of project are additional office uses. There are no known endangered plant species associated with the proposed area and none that are known to be associated with the immediate locale. Similarly, there are no known rare or endangered animal species associated with the area or its locale. No known animal life is located in the area. Further, there are no known cultural, historic, or scenic resources of recognized value located within the project area nor in the immediate vicinity.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below (X) would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. Aesthetics -Agricultural Resources Air Quality Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology /Soils III. DETERMINATION: Hydrology/Water Quality Land Use /Planning Mineral Resources Noise Population /Housing Public Services Recreation X I Transportation/Traffic Utilities/Service Systems On the basis of this Initial Study of Environmental Impact, the Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo finds the following: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed X to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. I find that the proposed project MAY have a "potential significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect (1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and (2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An be addressed. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. es .Hansen March 3 2000 ector of Community , Economic and Development Services; and, Date 6e ry of the Planning Commission City of EI Segundo osz IV. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project- specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project - specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site, cumulative as well as project - level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17, "Earlier Analysis," may be cross - referenced). 5) Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3) (d). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: (a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. (b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. (c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site - specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previous)y prepared or outside document should,, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, avid other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The analysis of each issue should identify: (a) the significance criteria or threshold used to evaluate each question; and (b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance. 053 Si ifignl �.caa inm I No In Pi Silmifi M significmi tmWn With Impact Mitigation Incorporated 1. AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to X trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? X C) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? X d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? X The proposed eight story hotel will not be located directly adjacent to a public right -of -way. The existing seven story Doubletree Hotel will serve to block most of the view from the public right -of -way. As a result, the proposed building would not degrade the visual character of the site or surroundings. The proposed building may block some views from the existing Doubletree Hotel to the south and Mattel office building to the north, but these views are not designated as scenic vistas. The proposed Development, Agreement provides for the elimination of the required setback on the north, west, and east side of the property. Consequently, the building will be 10 feet closer to the Mattel office tower than if the setback was Provided. However, this reduction will not significantly impact visual considerations or create substantial light glare on the adjacent buildings. No mitigation is required. Prl a) AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project? Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of StatewidE Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency to non - agricultural use? b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? C) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non- agricultural use? X X X The project is located in a Corporate Office (CO) Zone. Therefore, it will not convert any farmland or otherwise affect any farmland. There is no Williamson Act contracted land in the City of El Segundo. 3. AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance criteria established b the applicable air ual' Pollution control district may be relied upon to make the I Ilowin determinations. Would the oj management or air a) Conflict with or obstruct Implementation of the applicable air quality project: plan? b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing X or projected air quality violation.' c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria X pollutant for which the project region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone X precursors)? �Sy Impact Significant Significant Impact with Impact Mitigation d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people? X X An Air Quality Assessment was prepared by Planning Division staff to estimate the potential emissions associated with the proposed hotel expansion. The South Coast Air Quality Management District's (SCAQMD) Mobile Assessment for Air Quality Impacts (MAAQI) computer program (Version 1.00 — January 1994) was used to estimate emissions from mobile and stationary sources from the proposed project. The analysis estimated the total source emissions for the project to be as follows: 163 pounds per day of Carbon Monoxide (CO); 12.9 pound per day of Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC); 21.4 pounds per day of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx); 1.5 pounds per day of Sulfur Oxides (SOx); 2.3 pounds per day of particulate Matter (PM10); and 0.001 pounds per day of Lead. These amounts are below the SCAQMD's adopted daily significance thresholds of 550 for CO, 55 for ROC, 55 for NOx, 150 for SOx, and 150 for PM10. There is no threshold for lead. As a result, the proposed project will not violate any air quality regulations or conflict with any air quality plans. There are no substantial pollutant concentrations in the area that the hotel, as a sensitive receptor, would be exposed to. There are no operations associated with the project which would create objectionable odors. No mitigation is necessary. 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans; policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U. S. Fish and X Wildlife Service? b) Have a substantially adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U. S. Wildlife Service? X c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, or other means? X d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident migratory :1, wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? X e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance? Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, X Natural Conservation Community Plan, other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? X There are no known rare, unique or endangered plant or animal species associated with the proposed project or within the immediate vicinity. Additionally, there is minimal new landscaping proposed as part of the project. The construction site has been used as a paved parking lot since the construction of the Doubletree Hotel in 1985. Therefore, the proposed Project will not produce significant changes to the number of rare or endangered plant species in the project area (including trees, shrubs grass, crops, and micro flora) nor would it impact wetlands, migratory corridors, or conservation plans. S. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5? X 45J Significant Impact I Significant I Sienificant mpact With Impact Mitigation D) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resources pursuant to Section 15064.5? X c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? X d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? X The project area currently is developed; thus, no historic buildings exist on -site. The surrounding areas are in a fully urbanized and developed environment. No cultural, religious, or sacred uses or activities of importance to any particular segment of the general population are known to be associated with the area or locale. The proposed project contemplated would not affect any resource. impact any cultural, historical, impact any historical, archeological, or paleontological 6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project: a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving: (i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist- Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special X Publication 42. (ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? (iii) Seismic - related ground failure, including liquefaction? X (iv) Landslides? X b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? X c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would X become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? X d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-a -B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? X e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? X 056 Significant I Significant Significant Impact With Impact Mitigation The proposed hotel addition would be constructed on the surface parking lot of the existing Doubletree The proposed project area is located on approximately 1 A8 acres of land within the seismically active Southern California region; therefore, as with any new development, site occupants would be subject to similar seismic risks as other developments of a comparable size and use which are located in the vicinity of the project. However, no known geologic features exist on the Site, and no known active or potential active faults are located on or near the proposed project area. It is not within an Alquist - Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map district. In addition, new development on the site would comply with all applicable City building standards, regulations and permit requirements as contained in the Uniform Building Code (UBC) and the El Segundo Municipal Code. Development of the project would have a less than significant impact on topography and soils, and would not expose people or property to significant geologic hazards. The risk of surface rupture due to faulting is considered remote, as is the potential for ground failure or other seismic hazards. The area is essentially level, thus the potential for landslides and mudslides is non - existent. Development of the project would require minimal grading and minimal changes in topography. Exposure of soils to additional erosion factors would also not be expected. The issuance of a grading permit is a standard requirement in the City and will ensure slope stability and erosion control during construction. Based on the fact the construction has occurred on the properties within a few feet of the proposed Project, it is likely that the soil is suitable for development; and, construction of the project will not result in a substantial risk to life or property due to expansive soils. No septic system will be used because there is an available sewer system to Support the wastewater need of the project. Therefore, there will be no impacts. No mitigation is required for the project. 7. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project? a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials? b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the likely release of hazardous materials into the environment? Fmaterials, ardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous s, substances, or waste within one - quarter mile of an ex iting or d school? ed on a site which is included on a list of hazardoqsucha piled pursuant to Government Code Section 659ould it create a significant hazard to the public oent? e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, whplan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public air use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area? g) Impair implementation of, or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands? X X KI X 9 F3 X X Significant Significant Simificant Impact with Impact Mitigazion The development would utilize common cleaning solutions, disposed of in accordance with applicable statutes. Although the use of these materials would be considered an increase over existing circumstances, the amount to be used represents a marginal increase and is considered insignificant when compared to the total use of hazardous materials in the City and airport area as a whole. Based on the amount of hazardous materials stored, the nature of the packaging, the materials involved, and the required compliance with applicable regulations, the risk from development of the proposed plan is considered minor. Additionally there are no schools within a quarter -mile of the proposed hotel addition. Based on the foregoing, the proposed Specific Plan will have a less than significant impact regarding the use, disposal, or release of potentially hazardous materials and no mitigation is required The project will be required to obtain all necessary permits to show compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local solid waste regulations. According to the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) hazardous materials sites list, dated April, 1998, there are no potentially hazardous waste sites on the proposed project site or within the immediate vicinity of the project. The project is located approximately one half -mile south of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). However, the facility will not impact flight operations, since the proposed hotel will be approximately 103 feet tall, which is less than the existing approximately 150 -foot tall Mattel office building adjacent to the north of the project. There are no private airstrips within several miles of the project site. The project provides adequate access for emergency vehicles and would not interfere Nith existing emergency response or evacuation plans. The existing fire lanes on the north and the west side of the xoposed building would be maintained. The project is in a built -out urban environment with no wildland in the project Irea. Therefore, there will be no impact on wildland fires. 8. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project: �I Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? Substantially degrade groundwater supplies or interfere substantially X with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre - existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which X Permits have been granted)? c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off- 1' site? X d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off site? X e) Create or contribute runoff which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? X f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? g) Place housing within a 100 -year floodplain, as mapped on a federal X Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? X h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows? Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death X involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? X 058 Significant Significant Significant Impact with Impact Mitigation j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? X The proposed project will comply with all local wastewater discharge requirements_ Therefore, project will not violate any water quality standards. The project will slightly alter the drainage patterns and reduce infiltration on the project site due to the increase of paving. There will be a minimal change in drainage patterns as a result of the proposed because the hotel will be built on an existing parking lot, which consists of impervious surfaces already. A small amount of landscaped area around the perimeter of the parking lot would be lost due to the construction of the hotel. Due to the small size of the project, the lack of any nearby groundwater retrieval or injection devices and the distance to the water table, there will be no impact related to a change in the quality of groundwater. Surface runoff will be collected by the City's stormwater system. There is adequate capacity in this facility to handle the negligible increase in surface runoff due to the project. There are no streams or rivers in the project area, which could be affected by the slight change in drainage patterns on the project site area. Therefore, the project would not result in an increased flooding hazard. The project site is not within a flood plain designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). There are no 100- year flood plains designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the City of El Segundo. Additionally, there is no housing associated with the proposed project. There will be no exposure of people or property to water related hazards, including flooding, caused by the proposed project. The site is flat, approximately 2 miles from the pacific ocean, and approximately 100 feet about sea level. Therefore, the risk of inundation is negligible. 9. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project: a) Physically divide an established community? b) Conflict with an applicable land use plan, policy or regulation of an X agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental X effect? C) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural communities conservation plan? X The proposed project is located on an existing commercial site. Therefore , the project will not divide an established community. The proposed use is located in the Corporate Office (CO). Hotels are currently allowed in the CO Zone subject to approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The approval of the propose&Obvelopment Agreement will demonstrate conformance with the General Plan density for the site. No mitigation is required if the Development Agreement findings are made by the City Council for conformance with the General Plan. There are no habitat or natural communities conservation plans within the City of El Segundo. 10. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? D) Result in the loss of availability of a locall:Plan, ortant mineral resource X recovery site delineated on a local gener specific plan or other land use plan? X The site has no known mineral, oil, gas, geothermal, or aggregate resources. The project would not affect the availability of these resources. Therefore, no impacts would occur as a result of the project on the proposed site. The site is not designated as a mineral resource recovery site in the El Segundo General Plan. Therefore, the project will not result in the loss of availability of a locally important resource. 11. NOISE. Would the project result in: 10 0 59 significant si nifw Signf�im t Im act with Impact Mitigation a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies? X D) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundbome noise levels? X c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? d) A substantially temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? X e) For a project located within an airport land use plan, or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the X project area to excessive noise levels? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? X The applicant will be required to comply with the City's noise regulations, which prohibit the generation of excessive noise levels. During construction of the proposed project, noise levels would be expected to increase in the immediate vicinity of the project due to construction activities. However, these will be of a temporary nature. The project site area is not in an area which is significantly impacted by airport related noise. According to Exhibit N -1 of the Noise Element of the El Segundo General Plan, the project site is located in a 60 CNEL zone. By comparison, the most noise- impacted area of 'he City, which is directly across the street from LAX, is in a 75 CNEL zone. No impact from airport noise is expected. sere are no private airstrips in the vicinity. Therefore, the project would not be exposed to excessive noise levels. 12. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? X b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? ;'}, X c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? The project will add fifteen employees to the current Doubletree Hotel of eighty X induce significant population growth. No housing will be displaced because the Project a ea is in Cohmmercially zoned area. area. Since the project is located on an existing parking lot, of replacement housing, it will not displace households or necessitate the construction � 13. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered government facilities, need for new or physically altered government facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other. performance objectives for any of the public services: a) Fire protection? b) Police protection? X Schools? X UI Parks? X e) Other public facilities? X 11 X 060 Significant I Significant I Significant Impact With Impact Mitigation El Segundo Fire Station No. 2 is located approximately one- quarter mile to the southeast of the project site. Due to the size of the project, no additional fire protection services will be required. The proposed project will not introduce any uses that would significantly increase population, which would typically require additional police protection, park facilities, or additional school services. No impacts on other governmental facilities are anticipated because the project will not significantly increase population or the intensity of the use of the site. 14. RECREATION. a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? X b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? X The proposed project will not introduce any uses that would significantly increase population, which would typically require additional recreational facilities. No recreational facilities are included in the proposed project or would be impacted by the project. 15. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project: a) Cause an increase in the traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? X b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? X c) Result . in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? X d) Substantially increase hazards to a design feature (e.g., sharp.curves or -1, dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e:g. farm equipment)? X e) Result in inadequate emergency access? f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? X g) Conflict with adopted policies or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? X X X 12 061 Significant I significant I significant Impact With Impact Mitigation A Traffic Impact Report was prepared by KAKU Associates for the project proposed project. The analysis examined existing and future traffic conditions in the surrounding area to determine if the proposed hotel would create significant traffic impacts in the area. The report indicated that the project would generate 749 average daily trips, of which 56 trips would be during the a.m. peak period and 60 trips would be during the p.m. peak period. The report concluded that the proposed hotel would not significantly impact any intersections in the project areas. Based on this traffic generation, the project related traffic would not create a significant impact on the environment and no mitigation is required. The nearest Los Angeles County Congestion Management Plan (CMP) route is Sepulveda Boulevard (State Highwayl ) approximately one - quarter mile to the west of the project site. Due to the low trip generation from the project, the project will not affect a designated route on the Congestion Management Plan. The reduced level of service at the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and Grand will be 0.006 in the a.m. and 0.007 in the p.m., which is below the County's level of service significance threshold of 0.02. The project will have no impact on air traffic patterns. There are no modifications to the access point to the project. Therefore, no impacts to any design features will be likely. As previously stated, the project will not impact the existing fire lanes on the north and west side of the proposed building. Consequently The design of the project will not affect emergency ingress or egress from the site from either Grand Avenue or Continental Boulevard. The El Segundo Zoning Code requires 42 parking spaces for the 84 -room hotel addition and 60 spaces for the proposed 1,800 square foot meeting room. The proposed hotel will replace a surface parking lot containing 78 parking spaces with a parking structure with 173 parking spaces. Additionally 59 parking spaces, which are currently provided in the adjacent Mattel parking structure to the north of the surface parking lot will continue to be available for the Doubletree Hotel. Through a previous Development Agreement, the existing hotel is required to provide 129 parking spaces. As a result, the total parking requirement for the entire Doubletree Hotel will be 231 parking spaces. The applicant will provide a total of 232 parking spaces between the on -site and off -site parking structures. ring construction of the proposed hotel addition, the existing 78 -space parking lot will be eliminated, thereby reducing .e number of parking spaces available to the existing hotel from 137 to 59 spaces. This could lead to a temporary significant impact on parking since there is no on- street parking available in the vicinity of the hotel The temporary impact can be mitigated by the developer acquiring the rights to additional parking on private property during construction. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall be required to submit a Temporary Construction Parking Plan, which details the alternative parking arrangements for providing the required parking for the hotel during construction of the additional 84 guest rooms. 16. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: `} a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board? b) Require or result in construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? X X c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects? X d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded entitlements needed? X e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which services or may serve the project determined that it has adequate capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? X Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? X 13 ,Isz Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Less than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant Impact with Impact Mitigation Incorporated g) Comply with federal, state, and local statues and regulations related to solid waste? X Wastewater from the proposed project will be conveyed via sewers to the County Sanitation Districts' Waste Treatment Plant in the City of Carson for treatment and discharge into the ocean. The project will not impact wastewater treatment requirements. The water supply is sufficient for the projects needs and the project will not create the need for additional facilities to service the project. The project will generate minimal amounts of solid waste, which can be handled by existing solid waste treatment providers. The project will be required to obtain all necessary permits to show compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local solid waste regulations. 17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE. a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population -to drop below self- sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or X eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? b) Does the project have impacts that are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? ( "Cumulatively considerable" means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of the past projects, the effects of other X current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)? c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? X Based on the analysis provided above, the proposed project is a developed site located in an urban setting. Therefore, the project does not have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment and will not achieve short-term goals to the disadvantage of long -term environmental goals. There are no foreseeable negative cumulative impacts associated with the proposed project that will have an adverse affect on human beings.

INTRODUCTION This report documents the results of a traffic and parking study conducted by Kaku Associates, Inc., to evaluate the potential traffic and parking impacts of the proposed expansion of the existing Doubletree Club Hotel located at 1985 East Grand Avenue in El Segundo, California. It includes a description of the base data, the assumptions, methodologies, as well as the study findings. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Currently,. the Doubletree Hotel contains 215 rooms with 2,400 square feet of conference space. The proposed expansion is located north of the existing hotel, as shown in Figure 1, and includes three elements: the addtion of 84 guest rooms, an additional 1,800 square feet of conference space, and a parking structure with 173 space. Figure 2 illustrates the location of the proposed project site and its relationship to the surrounding street system. STUDY SCOPE The scope of work for this study was developed in conjunction with the City of El Segundo. The study is directed at the analysis of potential project - generated traffic "impacts on the adjacent local street system, as well an analysis of the project's parking needs. The analysis of future year traffic forecasts is based on projected conditions both with and without the addition of project traffic. Note that the analysis of Existing Conditions and Future Base Conditions were obtained from City of El Segundo'S Circulation Element, Meyer Mohaddes Associates, Inc., 1999. The following traffic scenarios have been analyzed as part of this study: Existinc Conditions — The analysis of existing traffic conditions is intended to merely provide a reference point for the reader.

Future Plus Pro act Conditions - This traffic scenario provides projected traffic volumes and an assessment of operating conditions under future conditions with the addition of project - generated traffic. The objective of this phase of the analysis is to identify potential impacts of the proposed project on future traffic conditions with the addition of project generated traffic: The City of El Segundo has identified the following four intersections, whose locations are illustrated in Figure 2, to be analyzed as part of the scope of work for this project: I • Sepulveda Boulevard & Mariposa Avenue 2. Sepulveda Boulevard & Grand Avenue 3. Continental Avenue & Grand Avenue 4. Continental Avenue & El Segundo Boulevard ORGANIZATION OF REPORT This report is divided into four chapters. Of the remaining sections, Chapter II provides a traffic analysis for the proposed project which includes a summary of existing and future traffic volumes and operating conditions, project volumes, and a project impact analysis. Chapter III discusses the projected parking conditions. Chapter IV provides the summary of results. 4 11. TRAFFIC ANALYSIS This chapter contains a summary of Existing and Future Base Conditions. This assessment of conditions relevant to this study includes a description of the project site, a review of traffic volumes on these facilities, an assessment of the resultant operating conditions, and a traffic impact analysis that compares Future Plus Project and Future Base conditions. PROJECT SITE The project site, the Doubletree Hotel, is located on the northwest corner of Continental Avenue and Grand Avenue and is bounded by Grand Avenue on the south, Sepulveda Boulevard on the west, Continental Avenue on the east, and Mariposa Avenue on the north. As illustrated in Figure 2, access to the site is provided via Continental Avenue and Grand Avenue, EXISTING CONDITIONS Existing peak hour traffic volumes, as shown on Figure 3, and resulting operating conditions were obtained from the City's Circulation Element. Table 2 summarizes the level of service (LOS) at each analyzed intersection for Existing Conditions, in which "Intersection Capacity Utilization" (ICU) method of intersection analysis was used. (LOS definitions are provided in Table 1), As can be seen, three of the four analyzed intersections operate at LOS C or better during both peak hours. The remaining intersection, Sepulveda Boulevard & Grand Avenue, operates at LOS F during both peak hours.

The Future Base traffic projections reflect growth in traffic from two primary sources: background or ambient growth in the existing traffic volumes to reflect the effects of overall regional growth both in and outside of the study area; and traffic generated by specific projects located within, or in the vicinity of, the study area. Table 3 summarizes the level of service (LOS) at each analyzed intersection for Future Base conditions. As can be seen, two of the four analyzed intersections are projected to operate at LOS D or better during the morning peak hour. The remaining intersections, Continental Avenue & El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard & Grand Avenue, are projected to operate at LOS E and F. respectively. During the evening peak hour, three of the four intersections are projected to operate at LOS D or better. The remaining intersection, Sepulveda Boulevard & Grand Avenue is projected to operate at LOS F. PROJECT TRAFFIC VOLUMES The development of traffic generation estimates for the proposed expansion of the Doubletree Hotel involves the use of a three -step process which is discussed in the following sections. Protect Traffic Generation As indicated, the proposed project includes the addition of 84 guest rooms and a 1,800 - square foot conference room. Note that the conference room is for guest use only and will not generate any additional trips. Trip generation rates from the Trip Generation 1 Edition (Institute t Transportation Engineers, 1997) were utilized to estimate the number of trips associated with the of development of the proposed project. These rates are summarized on Table 4. Table 4 further summarizes the estimate of future trips expected to be generated by the proposed project. As shown, it is estimated that the project would generate a total of 749 daily trips of N 073 0 2 Y W _V d y � V a w � i J 10 z� col W F— U O Y G Y W J O U li W LLJ O C7 _ u W a W U) m W m LL W 074 U) J Q Z Q W _U n LU W M h W W J O m W LU W J Z O t= U W M K H Z 11 d m N N Q m V V t 0 d a, N Lq `c 0 W O .e' U a c a h W 0 U 075 2 O F= C W W 0 IL vz W �- J F M U F 0 O K DL O W F Q F y W 2 d .a 7 0 a CL H 12 iN which 56 vph would occur during the morning peak hour and 60 vph during the evening peak hour. It should be noted that these traffic projections are conservative due to the fact that 11 % of the hotel guests use the airport shuttle service (see Parking Analysis), Project Traffic Distribution The geographic distribution of the traffic generated by the proposed project is dependent on several factors. These factors include the type and density of the proposed land uses, the geographic distribution of population from which the employees and potential patrons of the proposed development are drawn, and the location of the project in relation to the surrounding street system. The following project distribution was assumed: 39% travels to and from the north 26% travels to and from the south I S% travels to and from the east 18% travels to and from the west Project Traffic Assionment The traffic expected to be generated by the proposed project was assigned to the street network using the distribution pattern described above. Figure 5 illustrates the assignment of this traffic for each of the 4 intersections analyzed in this study. �r Future Plus Protect Projections The project - generated traffic volumes from Figure 5 were added to the Future Base traffic volumes illustrated in Figure 4 to develop Future Plus Project peak hour traffic volumes as illustrated in Figure 6.

This provides the information needed to assess the potential impact of the project using significance criteria established by the City. Significant Traffic Impact Criteria In order to provide a quantitative basis for determining the significance of the impact of the project traffic at the various intersections in the study area, it is necessary to establish the criteria to be used in the analysis. The City of El Segundo uses the Los Angeles County's threshold criteria, in which a project impact would be considered significant if the following conditions are met: Intersection Condition With Project Traffic LOS V C Ratio C 0.701 - 0.800 D 0.801 - 0.900 E, F > 0.900 Project - Related Increase in V/C Ratio equal to or greater than 0.040 equal to or greater than 0.020 equal to or greater than 0.010 Using these criteria, for example, a project would not have a significant impact at an intersection if it is operating at LOS C after the addition of project traffic and the incremental change in the WC ratio is less than 0.040. However, if the intersection is operating at a LOS F after the addition of project traffic and the incremental change in the V/C ratio isA010 or greater the project would be considered to have a significant impact at this location. Future Plus Project Traffic Conditions The resulting Future Plus Project peak hour traffic volumes were analyzed, using ICU method of intersection analysis, to determine the projected future operating conditions with the addition of the proposed project traffic. The results of the Future Plus Project analysis, which are present OS ed in Table 3, indicate that two of the four analyzed intersections are projected to operate at L D or better during the morning peak hour. The remaining intersections, Continental Avenue & El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard & Grand Avenue, are projected to operate at 16 un LOS E and F, respectively. During the evening peak hour, three of the four intersections are projected to operate at LOS D or better. The remaining intersection, Sepulveda Boulevard & Grand Avenue is projected to operate at LOS F. Proie — ect Impacts As can be seen in Table 3, using the City's criteria for determining the significance of the project traffic impacts, it was determined that the proposed project would not have a significant impact at any of the analyzed intersections. Note that the greatest change in V/C at any analyzed intersection is 0.007 which is below the 0.010 threshold for LOS E and F. -�.e_ 17 08: III• PARKING ANALYSIS This section addresses the zoning code parking requirements for the Doubletree Hotel expansion project and evaluates the adequacy of the project's proposed parking supply. EXISTING PARKING CONDITIONS There are 67 parking spaces on -site at the Doubletree Hotel. This includes two arkin s paces reserved for handicap use. In addition, as per an agreement with Mattel, the hotel has the right p 9 to use 59 spaces in the Mattel parking structure, which is adjacent to the on -s e parking ot Tis represents a total of 126 parking spaces provided to patrons of the ex it isting hotel. l . h FUTURE PARKING CONDITIONS The existing on -site parking lot will be replaced with the proposed project, eliminating 67 on -site surface parking spaces. The proposed project will provide a parking structure with 173 spaces. In addition, 59 spaces will provided off -site as per the agreement with a future supply total of 232 parking spaces. Mattel. This represents REQUIRED PARKING SUPPLY The existing hotel and proposed project consist of the following uses: 215 guest rooms 4,500- square foot restaurant 010 seats) 2,400- square foot conference room (up to 5 rooms) Proposed increase: 84 guest rooms Proposed increase: 1,800 - square foot conference room (up to 3 rooms) 18 082 Using the City of El Segundo's parking code requirement (112 parkin space current parking requirement for the existing hotel is 108 spaces. g P Per room), the room components are used b P The restaurant and conference y guests only and therefore do not require additional parking spaces. FUTURE PARKING DEMAND The proposed project would add a requirement of 42 additional spaces (i.e. 84 rooms x 0.5 space /room) for a total of 150 parking spaces. It can be seen that the future supply spaces is 82 spaces more than the required supply. P Y of 232 every 1/2 hour from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 PPIY Also, the airport shuttle service, which P.M., reduces the amount of vehicles that would otherwise use the parking lot. Based on data provided by the hotel and shuttle service provider (see Appendix B), 11 % of the hotel guests arrive and depart via airport shuttle service on a daily basis. Analyzing the daily shuttle service logs, an average of 43 service. Further analysis shows guests per weekday, use the shuttle an average of 1.4 guests per grou average reduction of 31 vehicles per day that would otherwise be usin t e 9 is translates to an was no shuttle service. parking lot if there As shown on Table 5, the overall required spaces is reduced to 114 spaces when the the airport shuttle are taken into account.

However, the proponent should ensure design and construction of applicable structures complies with local and State requirements for fire protection and possible underground storage tank provisions for elevators. If there are any question concerning this correspondence, please do not hesitate to contact me at extension 242. 101 City 0/ else INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE TO: Paul Garry, Associate Planner FRO on ille, Senior Plans Examiner DA March 8, 2000 SUBJECT: EA -503 I have identified several issues with the Doubletree Hotel Expansion: Proposed plans call for 162 parking spaces. Six accessible parking spaces will be required (not 5). Of these six spaces, one will have to be van accessible. Additional parking spaces may be required for the offsite parking. 2. The new 1,800 square foot meeting room on the first floor has one of its required exit (on the south side) discharging into the area where openings are required to be protected and where openings are prohibited. This is not allowed. This project calls for a four level parking structure in conjunction with a meeting room and hotel rooms. The Uniform Building Code will allow this type of mixed occupancy use provided the parking structure is classified by the building official as a Group S, Division 3 Occupancy. This is not allowed if the parking structure is classified as an open parking garage (Group S, Division 4).

Address: 1985 East Grand Avenue. Applicant: David Westcott. Property Owner: Calhotone -Dblt, LLC. Associate Planner Paul Garry summarized the staff report as outlined in the agenda packet. Commissioner Kretzmer stated that there should be a temporary parking plan showing the number of required spaces. Associate Planner Garry indicated that during construction, the 59 spaces in the Mattel structure would still be available for the existing hotel, but more may be needed for the construction crew and the hotel guests. Commissioner Kretzmer expressed concern with the zero setback and it setting a precedent along with aesthetic problems. Vice -Chair Wycoff opened the Public Hearing. David Westcott, Calhotone -Dblt, LLC He clarified that Doubletree has been acquired by Hilton in the last six months. He noted that when you enter the property, there is a fire access lane around the entire periphery. He said that they wanted to contain the height to the same height of the current structure. Also, he said a zero setback was done to accommodate as much parking as possible. Vice -Chair Wycoff asked about the imaginary property line indicated on the drawings of page 3. George Medak, Calhotone -Dblt, LLC He clarified that the imaginary property line is a presumptive property line. Associated Planner Garry indicated that it is for building code purposes. =r. Commissioner _Boulgarides asked when breaking ground of the project would be anticipated? Mr. Medak stated that they are currently remodeling the public spaces on the ground floor of the existing restaurant and as soon as this is completed, they will be breaking ground on the project. Mr. Westcott stated that they currently have 78 parking spaces in the parking lot and are estimating that they are using fewer than 10 per night in Mattel's parking structure. He said a number of 80 -100 would be appropriate and acceptable. He further indicated that they will make an arrangement with Mattel to get another 30 spaces, and the construction crew would mostly park on the other side of the building or off -site. Vice -Chair Wycoff closed the Public Hearing. Commissioner Boulgarides expressed concern with the zero setback and the significant increase in the floor area ratio. He also expressed disappointment with the landscaping and plans for a project of this magnitude. He agreed that the left turn pocket would be a benefit. Commissioner Kretzmer said that Elevations B and C make a very nice presentation, and he stated he is in favor of the FAR increase in that end of town and the property owner maximizing their value in the property. He expressed some disappointment with the articulation. He 10. DRAFT suggested adding the number of additional parking spaces needed to Item 3 on Master Page 75. Commissioner Kretzmer asked if Item 10 on Master Page 75 included processing fees? Assistant Attorney John Luebberke stated yes. Commissioner Kretzmer commented concerning Item 15 on Master Page 76 that if new easements or right -of -ways would be needed. He stated that there should be language stating that the costs would be picked up by the applicant. Commissioner Kretzmer corrected the word "that' in Item 7a, Master Page 90 and the words "The parties" in Item 11 c, Master Page 93. Commissioner Kretzmer requested language "In addition to monetary damages" be added in Item 15, Master Page 94, 2 "d paragraph, 3rd sentence. Commissioner Kretzmer expressed concern with Item 27, Master Page 96, in that the developer should not be allowed to assign its rights to anybody at any point without some assurance that the successor is financially responsible. Assistant Attorney John Luebberke suggested putting in a simple clause stating, "Upon approval of the City, such approval not being unreasonably withheld." Commissioner Mahler agreed with the concerns of the increased floor area and setbacks. However, he agreed that the project will be of great benefit to the City. Vice -Chair Wycoff expressed concern with the floor area ratio increase, but indicated that due to the location of the project, it would be acceptable. He further stated that he would like to see more landscaping and is not in favor of more concrete. Vice -Chair Wycoff reopened the Public Hearing. Mr. Westcott suggested enhancing the landscaping along the south border of the property on Grand Avenue which would be more attractive for people arriving. Further, he said landscaping could be introduced in the entryway. He also agreed with deviyning the north wall of the new structure acceptable to the City. Assistant Attorney John Luebberke suggested that these requirements could be done as a condition under the Conditional Use Permit. Planning Manager Katz suggested adding another condition stating that the design of the north wall show more articulation and be subject to the approval of the Director. The Commissioners indicated that they would like the Conditional Use Permit resolution to come back to the Commission as a receive and file item. Mr. Westcott requested that this item be subject to reasonable approval of the Director. Vice -Chair Wycoff requested an explanation regarding the memo received from Steve Tsumura on Master Page 155 and asked if there are going to be underground storage tanks. Associate Planner Garry stated if there are, they would have to be installed according to the current fire and building codes. Vice -Chair Wycoff closed the Public Hearing 1 () 4 DRAFT The Commission was able to meet the findings of the CUP, and agreed that the project is consistent with the General Plan. Assistant Attorney John Luebberke suggested changing the language on Master Page 74, Item 1, to read, "Conditional Use Permit No. 99 -10 is approved contingent upon City Council's approval of the Development Agreement No. 99 -3." Further he suggested changing the language on Master Page 75, Item 10, to read, "The applicant shall pay the City Attorney's fees and costs for preparing or reviewing any fire lane access easements, or any such easements or agreements required." Commissioner Kretzmer also suggested adding a floor to the parking number of 100 to Item 3, Master Page 75. Commissioner Kretzmer moved to adopt Resolution No. 2473 to approve EA -503 and CUP No. 99 -10. Commissioner Boulgarides seconded. Passed 4 -0. =y, 105 RESOLUTION NO. 2473 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. EA -503 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 99 -10, FOR AN EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING DOUBLETREE HOTEL AT 1985 EAST GRAND AVENUE. PETITIONED BY: CALHOTONE -DBLT, LLC. WHEREAS, a Conditional, Use Permit and Development Agreement application have been received from Calhotone -Dblt, LLC, which request approval to construct an 84 -room addition to an existing Doubletree Hotel at 1985 East Grand Avenue in the Corporate Office (CO) Zone; and, WHEREAS, an Initial Study was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA "), Cal. Public Resources Code Section 21000 at sec. The Initial Study demonstrated that the project would not cause any significant environmental impacts. Accordingly, a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( "MND ") was prepared and circulated for public review and comment between March 2 and March 21, 2000; and, 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 3805); and, WHEREAS, at the duly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo on March 23, 2000, a duly advertised public hearing was held on this matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street; and, WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of Environmental Assessment No. EA -503 and Conditional Use Permit No. 99 -10; and, ='1; WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established: The proposed project is a Conditional Use Permit (CUP No. 99 -10) and an eight year Development Agreement (DA No. 99-3) between the City of El Segundo and Calhotone -Dblt, LLC for a proposed 43,000 square foot, 84 room expansion of an existing Doubletree Hotel located on a 1.48 acre lot at 1985 East Grand Avenue. 2. The General Plan land use designation for the site is Corporate Office and the zoning is Corporate Office (CO). The General Plan designation and zone allow hotels as a use which serves corporate offices. The project involves the construction of a four level parking structure containing 173 parking spaces with a 1,800 square foot meeting room on the ground floor. The proposed hotel rooms would be constructed on four floors above the new parking structure. The entire structure will be situated adjacent to the existing 215 room Doubletree Hotel replacing an existing 78 space surface parking lot. A total of 232 parking spaces will be provided between the on -site parking 106 structure and 59 spaces allocated in the Mattel parking structure adjacent to the north of the property. 4. The Development Agreement proposes a term of eight years and requests that the project be exempted from three site development standards contained in the El Segundo Municipal Code. Specifically, the Development Agreement would allow an increase in the legal nonconforming Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 1.55 to 2.23. The current Corporate Office land use designation permits a maximum FAR of 0.8. The proposed hotel would be located with zero setbacks on the north, west, and east side property lines. Finally, due to the zero setback, landscaping in the required setbacks on the north, west, and east side as well as around the building perimeter would not be provided. The Development Agreement requires approval by the City Council. 5. The Development includes a provision for the developer to design and construct a left-tum pocket in the raised median island for northbound Continental Boulevard at the intersection of Continental Boulevard and Grand Avenue. Currently three of the four sides of this intersection have dedicated left-turn pockets. Only the northbound direction does not have a left -turn pocket. The construction of this improvement will improve traffic circulation by enabling unobstructed through traffic for both northbound lanes on Continental Boulevard. 6. On October 15, 1988, the City approved a Development Agreement (Instrument No. 85- 1229561) for the construction of the Grandway project, which includes the Doubletree Hotel, the Mattel corporate headquarters building and another office building that has not yet been constructed. That Development Agreement authorized the construction of a 216 -room Doubletree Hotel at a 1.55 FAR. Additionally, the Agreement permitted the expansion of the hotel up to 300 rooms. However, the Development Agreement expired on August 31, 1990. Therefore, the right to construct the additional hotel rooms contemplated in the original Development Agreement expired with the Development Agreement on August 31, 1990. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above facts and study of proposed Environmental Assessment No. EA -503 and Conditional Use Permit No. 99-10, the Planning Commission finds as follows: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 1. That the City. of El Segundo has prepared an Initial Study; and, an accompanying Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared demonstrating that the-Project would not cause any significant environmental impacts. 2. 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 involves the in -fill development on an existing parking lot in an urban setting. 3. That the Planning Commission hereby authorizes the Director of Community, Economic and Development Services to file with the appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and De Minimis finding pursuant to California Assembly Bill (AB) No. 3158 and the California Code of Regulations. Within twenty -four hours of this approval, 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 Determination. As approved for in AB No. 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. 1n7 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT The purpose of the Corporate Office (CO) Zone is to provide for development of office projects. Regulations are designed to promote and control their growth in a favorable environment to all abutting and surrounding land uses. The existing Doubletree Hotel serves to support the existing office uses in the CO Zone and surrounding area. The expansion of the hotel will provide needed capacity in the segment of the hotel market, which is designed to serve the expanding corporate office uses in the immediate vicinity of the project. The proposed project would be an in -fill project located on a surface parking lot for the existing Doubletree Hotel. An Initial Study of Environmental Impacts was prepared for the project, which included a Traffic and Parking Study and an Air Quality Assessment. The Initial Study concluded that there would be no environmental impacts associated with the project that could not be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Therefore, the location of the use and conditions under which it would operate would not be detrimental or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. 3. The proposed conditional use permit complies with the applicable provisions of Chapter 20.74 of the El Segundo Municipal Code since proper notice and hearing were provided, proper hearing decision and records will be complied with, and the required findings will be considered. The proposed project meets all of the current Zoning Code requirements with the exception of floor area ratio, building setbacks, and setback and building perimeter landscaping. Approval of the project with these three non - complying items requires the approval of a Development Agreement by the City Council. GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY The proposed hotel expansion is consistent with the General Plan in that the project is in conformance with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the General Plan. Specifically, Economic Development Element Goal ED1, Objective ED1 -2, Land Use Element Goal LU4, Policy LU4 -3.2, Objective LU44, and Objective LU5 -1.2 relate to the proposed project in that they address the importance of maintaining economic development as one of ft community's top priorities, as well as maintaining public sector support for the business communities, and encouraging high quality and mixed -use developments which maximize economic benefit,. reduce traffic impact and encourage pedestrian environments. By providing additional hotel facilities within the office core of the City, the project will be within walking distance of the businesses that hotel guests will likely be visiting. This will tend to reduce traffic from visitors who would otherwise have to stay at business hotels farther away from the office area and drive to reach their destinations within El Segundo. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission hereby adopts a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts and approves Environmental Assessment No. EA -503 and Conditional Use Permit No. 99 -10, subject to the following conditions: Conditional Use Permit No. 99 -10 shall be null and void if Development Agreement No. 99 -3 is not approved by the City Council.

EA -503 AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 99 -3, FOR AN EXPANSION OF AN EXISTING DOUBLETREE HOTEL AT 1985 EAST GRAND AVENUE. PETITIONED BY: CALHOTONE -DBLT, LLC. WHEREAS, a Conditional Use Permit and Development Agreement application have been received from Calhotone -Dblt, LLC, which request approval to construct an 84 -room addition to an existing Doubletree Hotel at 1985 East Grand Avenue in the Corporate Office (CO) Zone; and, WHEREAS, an Initial Study was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA "), Cal. Public Resources Code Section 21000 et sec. The Initial Study demonstrated that the project would not cause any significant environmental impacts. Accordingly, a Mitigated Negative Declaration ( "MND ") was prepared and circulated for public review and comment between March 2 and March 21, 2000; and, 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 3805); and, WHEREAS, at the duly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo on March 23, 2000, a duly advertised public hearing was held on this matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350 Main Street; and, WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of Environmental Assessment No. EA -503 and Development Agreement No. 99 -3; and, ="e< WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established: The proposed project is a Conditional Use Permit (CUP No. 99 -10) and an eight year Development Agreement (DA No. 99 -3) between the City of Ell Segundo and Calhotone -Dbtt, LLC for a proposed 43,000 square foot, 84 room expansion of an existing Doubletree Hotel located on a 1.48 acre lot at 1985 East Grand Avenue. The General Plan land use designation for the site is Corporate Office and the zoning is Corporate Office (CO). The General Plan designation and zone allow hotels as a use which serves corporate offices. 3. The project involves the construction of a four level parking structure containing 173 parking spaces with a 1,8d0 square foot meeting room on the ground floor. The proposed hotel rooms would be constructed on four floors above the new parking structure. The entire structure will be situated adjacent to the existing 215 room Doubletree Hotel replacing an existing 78 space surface parking lot. A total of 232 parking spaces will be provided between the on -site parking 113 structure and 59 spaces allocated in the Mattel parking structure adjacent to the north of the property. 4. The Development Agreement proposes a tens of eight years and requests that the project be exempted from three site development standards contained in the El Segundo Municipal Code. Specifically, the Development Agreement would allow an increase in the legal nonconforming Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 1.55 to 2.23. The current Corporate Office land use designation permits a maximum FAR of 0.8. The proposed hotel would be located with zero setbacks on the north, west, and east side property lines. Finally, due to the zero setback, landscaping in the required setbacks on the north, west, and east side as well as around the building perimeter would not be provided. The Development Agreement requires approval by the City Council. 5. The Development includes a provision for the developer to design and construct a left -tum pocket in the raised median island for northbound Continental Boulevard at the intersection of Continental Boulevard and Grand Avenue. Currently three of the four sides of this intersection have dedicated left -tum pockets. Only the northbound direction does not have a left -turn pocket. The construction of this improvement will improve traffic circulation by enabling unobstructed through traffic for both northbound lanes on Continental Boulevard. On October 15, 1988, the City approved a Development Agreement (Instrument No. 85- 1229561) for the construction of the Grandway project, which includes the Doubletree Hotel, the Mattel corporate headquarters building and another office building that has not yet been constructed. That Development Agreement authorized the construction of a 216 -room Doubletree Hotel at a 1.55 FAR. Additionally, the Agreement permitted the expansion of the hotel up to 300 rooms. However, the Development Agreement expired on August 31, 1990. Therefore, the right to construct the additional hotel rooms contemplated in the original Development Agreement expired with the Development Agreement on August 31, 1990. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above facts and study of proposed Environmental Assessment No. EA -503 and Development Agreement No. 99 -3, the Planning Commission finds as follows: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT =1, That the City of EI.Segundo has prepared an Initial Study; and, an accompanying Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared demonstrating that the Project would not cause any significant environmental impacts. 2. 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 involves the in -fill development on an existing parking lot in an urban setting. 3. That the Planning Commission hereby authorizes the Director of Community, Economic and Development Services to file with the appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and De Minimis finding pursuant to California Assembly Bill (AB) No. 3158 and the California Code of Regulations. Within twenty -four hours of this approval, 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 Determination. As approved for in AB No. 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 n 1!4 DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specked in the general plan and any applicable specific plan because the General Plan Land Use Designation of Corporate Office Permits Hotels. The project meets General Plan objectives and polices related to the importance of maintaining economic development as one of the community's top priorities, as well as. maintaining public sector support for the business communities, and encouraging high quality and mixed -use developments which maximize economic .benefit, reduce traffic impact and encourage pedestrian environments. 2. The project is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district in which the real property is located. The existing Doubletree Hotel serves to support the existing office uses in the CO Zone and surrounding area. The expansion of the hotel will provide needed capacity in the segment of the hotel market, which is designed to serve the corporate office uses in the immediate vicinity of the project. 3. The project is in conformity with the public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice; 4. • The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare. The Initial Study concluded that there would be no environmental impacts associated with the project that could not be mitigated to a level of insignificance. Therefore, the location of the use and conditions under which it would operate would not be detrimental or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and, 5. The project will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values because the project will complement other development in the surrounding area thereby serving to enhance the desirability of property in the area. GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY The proposed hotel expansion is consistent with the Ger))ral Plan in that the project is in conformance with the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the General Plan. Specifically, Economic Development Element Goal ED1, Objective ED1 -2, Land Use Element Goal LU4, Policy LU4 -3.2, Objective LU44, and Objective LU5 -1.2 relate to the proposed project in that they address the importance of maintaining economic development as one of the community's top priorities, as well as maintaining public sector support for the business communities, and encouraging high quality and mixed -use developments which maximize economic benefit, reduce traffic impact and encourage pedestrian environments. By providing additional hotel facilities within the office core of the City, the project will be within walking distance of the businesses that hotel guests will likely be visiting. This will tend to reduce traffic from visitors who would otherwise have to stay at business hotels farther away from the office area and drive to reach their destinations within El Segundo.

(Environmental Assessment EA -500 and Conditional Use Permit CUP No. 99 -8B.) Address: 129 Arena Street Applicant: Catherine Moore, Howie's Doggie Day Care. Property Owner: Major Avignon RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Open Continued Public Hearing; 2) Discussion; 3) Reading of Resolution by title only; 4) By motion, adopt Resolution approving the project; and /or, 5) Other possible action /direction. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND: On April 4, 2000, the City Council opened the public hearing for the proposed project. After a discussion regarding the conditions of approval for the proposal, the Council voted to continue the public hearing until April 18, 2000. The applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow indoor overnight kennel operations for a maximum of 20 dogs at an existing dog day care facility located at 129 Arena Street. This item was presented to the Planning Commission on February 24, 2000. At the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted (4 -0) to approve the outdoor dog day care at the existing indoor day care facility and to recommend approval of the proposed kennel operations. Kennels require City Council approval, in accordance with Section 8.12.130 of the El Segundo Municipal Code. A more complete project description, analysis, and background information are included in the accompanying Planning Commission staff report and its attachments, which were also previously distributed to the City Council on March 31, 2000. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: An Initial Study /Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is required to evaluate the potential significant impacts, which may be caused by the proposed project. The draft Initial Study /Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact was prepared, as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and, was available for 20 day public review period from January 20 through February 9, 2000. No comments were received from any of the City Departments or the public. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1. (draft) City Council Resolution No. 2. Planning. Commission Resolution No. 2470. 3. Planning Commission Staff Report and Attachments, February 24; 2000. 4. Planning Commission Minutes, March 8, 1990 (Airport Kennel Inn), and February 24, 2000 ( Howie's Doggie Day Care). 5.

Hansen, Director of Community, Economic, and Development Services a e: Oary trenn, ity Manager y /�0 WTION TAKFN- ?1- 2 DISCUSSION: The City Council continued the request for overnight boarding at Howie's Doggie Day Care to allow staff to investigate the equity of the conditions applied to this project in comparison to the Airport Kennel Inn and Grateful Dogs. The specific concerns were: • ventilation system • adherence to the American Kennel Association (AKA) requirements • fire sprinklers • soundproofing All three projects were not required to have a ventilation system or meet the requirements of the AKA. The conditions for Grateful Dogs were the same as Howie's Doggie Day Care with the exception of those requirements specific to the site. Concerning the fire and soundproofing requirements, staff reviewed the conditions of approval imposed on the Airport Kennel Inn (Environmental Assessment No. 210) approved on April 3,1990, and compared them with those required for this proposal. The Airport Kennel Inn does have requirements for sprinklers and soundproofing. According to the Fire Department comments made in 1990 (see Attachment No. 5), the project was large enough to require the installation of a fire sprinkler system. The Fire Department compared the proposal by the Airport Kennel Inn to care for up to 100 dogs/cats as being "similar to an apartment house." As a result of the potential to house such a large number of pets in the Smokey Hollow area, the Fire Department felt that fire sprinklers were a needed mitigation measure. Additionally, the building was voluntarily soundproofed by the applicants (see Attachment No. 4: March 8, 1990 Planning Commission Minutes) in an effort to bring potential noise levels down to an insignificant level. The Airport Kennel project was also granted an exception to the parking requirements. The Planning Commission determined that it was an accessory use to the Animal Hospital and did not need additional parking. Staff reviews projects on an individual basis based on the ordinances and the circumstances of the use in relation to the location. The Fire Department reviewed Howie's Doggie Day Care and based on the size of the facility and the Fire Code, determined that sprinklers were not required in this case. Howie's Doggie Day Care must meet the requirements of the noise ordinance and if the business exceeds those limits, additional mitigation measures will be added at that time. The size of the business (20 dogs) and the location in an industrial area does not warrant additional mitigation measures at this time. The conditions of approval for the Airport Kennel Inn and Grateful Dogs are attached (see Attachment No. 5).

With the addition of Overnight boarding, pick -up times will be extended to 8:00 PM, instead of 6:00 PM. The proposed hours for outdoor operations will be 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, and 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM, Monday through S y, unda with weekend outdoor service by appointment only. A maximum of five dogs will be allowed outdoors at any given time. The dogs will be supervised by one employee at all times during outdoor playtime. The applicant has stated that an additional ef$ployee may be hired depending on the future demand for outdoor day care. Furthermore, dogs will not be allowed outdoors during inclement weather. The building is approximately 4,000 square feet in area, including 1,200 square feet of indoor play area for dogs. The proposed location of the outdoor day care facility will be in an unused Parking area (4 parking spaces) at the rear of the property, 1,200 ± square feet in size. This Proposal would eliminate these parking spaces, however, the area in front of the building can accommodate one handicapped and two standard parking spaces. There is a 20- minute loading zone parking place in front of the building, which could be used while dropping off the dogs. This parking area currently meets all of the business parking needs, including patron loading and unloading of dogs. The dog day care facility offers a taxi service, however a majority of the clients choose to drop -off and pick -up their own dogs. The parking requirement for this type of use is not specifically mentioned in the Off- Street parking section of the Zoning code. However, Section 20.54.030 (D), allows the Director of Community, Economic, and Development Services or the Planning Commission to specify the number of spaces based on a parking demand study ( "PDS "). A PDS was not required for this 2 i � Proposal. This proposal will not increase the current number of vehicle trips to the site. The Director determined the proposed parking would be adequate based on the information submitted, the location of a 20- minute parking space in front of the property, and a field inspection of the property. The outdoor dog care area will be enclosed on all sides by a screened six -foot high chain link fence. The screening will consist of a green, prefabricated mesh material. The indoor use of the facility will be utilized by a maximum of 25 dogs at any time. The facility would maintain an average of 15 dogs on a daily basis. However, the proposal for outdoor day care will only allow a maximum of 5 dogs at a time, for two hours in the morning and four hours in the afternoon. The maximum number of dogs allowed to stay overnight will be 20. All dogs staying overnight will be kept indoors, and will be allowed to roam the indoor premises freely, with an overnight attendant's supervision. The work shift of the overnight attendant will start at 6:00 PM, and end at 6:00 AM, Monday through Sunday. The new operations are not expected to generate additional clients or excessive noise. The applicant states that the "home- like" environment that their business provides for patron dogs requires a detailed pre- screening process prior to the acceptance of dogs at the facility. The screening criteria include: proof of vaccinations; dogs must be people friendly; and compatibility with other dogs. The applicant has indicated that this type of facility does not use cages, kennels or other restraining type enclosures, in an attempt to anticipate any excessive barking due to stress or nervousness. The overnight operations would be supervised by a resident manager, which is permitted only if a caretaker unit is provided. The Smoky Hollow area allows caretaker units, provided they meet the minimum floor area stipulated in the Uniform Building Code. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW An Initial Study was prepared by staff for the project. Upon completion of this study, it was determined that the project would not have a significant effect on the environment, and a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT /ANALYSIS The Planning Commission previously determined that the indoor dog day care is a permitted use in the Medium Manufacturing (MM), Small Business (SB), and Light Industrial (M -1) Zones, and that outdoor dog day care requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit approved by the Planning Commission (Administrative Determination (AD) 98 -22) The Planning Commission also determined that overnight boarding of four or more dogs and/or cats in conjunction with a dog day care facility would be considered a kennel, and as such would require a Conditional Use Permit with a recommendation by the Planning Commission and final action by the City Council (AD 99 -13). The applicant requests approval for both outdoor dog day care and kennel operations. 3 140 Section 20.74.050 of the Zoning Code describes the purpose of a Conditional Use Permit. This section of the code is as follows: "The purpose of a conditional use permit shall be: A. To assure the compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship to other existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use is proposed to be located; B. To assure the proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which the site is located; and, C. To recognize and compensate for potential impacts that could be generated by the hazards. Proposed use, such as noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic and " In accordance with Section 20.74.060 of the Zoning Code, the Planning Commission and City Council may grant a Conditional Use Permit if all of the following three findings can be met: A. That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of this title and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located (the SB Zone). The use is consistent with the objectives of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the SB Zone, provided approval of a CUP is obtained. The purpose of the SB Zone is to provide for the existence of small business and incubator industrial users in the Smoky Hollow area. Although the use is not industrial or manufacturing, it is a small business that is compatible with these types of uses. Additionally, the Smoky Hollow area of the City, as defined by the General Plan, promotes a variety of land u¢ps. A small number of dog day care facility's with overnight boarding exists in this area, making this proposal consistent with the goal of the Smoky Hollow area and past Planning Commission decisions. B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. Since the site is currently operating as an indoor dog day care facility, the expan sion of the operations to include outdoor use and overnight boarding would not be expected to cause any further impacts if the conditions of approval are met. These conditions of approval address noise, animal waste, lighting, storm drain runoff, and Animal Control approval. Such conditions are expected to adequately address any concerns related to health, safety, welfare, and injury to properties and improvements in the vicinity of the facility. Additionally, this proposal would slightly increase the number of dogs currently 4 141 using the indoor day care facility from 20 to 25, however, the operational characteristics will ensure that there be no adverse impacts. C. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of Chapter 20.74. By obtaining approval for outdoor dog day care by the Planning Commission and approval for the kennel operations by the City Council (with prior recommendation from the Planning Commission), the facility will provisions of the Zoning Code. operate in compliance with the applicable INTER - DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS The project application and Initial Study were circulated to all departments for comments, and none were received.

Description of Project: (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited phases of the project, and any secondary , support or off -site features necessary for its implementation. Attach additional sheets if necessary) The subject property, located in the Small Business (SB) Zone, is currently developed with an indoor dog day care facility, which is a permitted use in this Zone. Operating an outdoor dog day care and /or an overnight boarding facility in this Zone requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The Conditional Use Permit for the outdoor dog day care requires review and action by the Planning Commission. Overnight boarding requires review and recommendation by the Planning Commission and final action by the City Council. Currently, the dog day care facility operates from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Sunday, with three employees on site. The existing drop -off times for dogs is 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM, and Pick up times are from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The addition of overnight boarding will extend the Pick-up time to 8:00 PM, instead of 6:00 PM. The proposed hours for outdoor operations will be 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, and 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM, Monday through Sunday, with weekend outdoor service by appointment only. A maximum of five dogs will be allowed outdoors at any given time. All dogs will be supervised by one employee, at all times during outdoor playtime. The applicant has stated that an additional employee may be hired depending on the future demand for outdoor day care. Furthermore, dogs will not be allowed outdoors during inclement weather. 1 148 The building is approximately 41000 square feet in area, including 1,200 square feet of indoor play area for dogs. The proposed location of the outdoor day care facility will be in an unused parking area (4 parking spaces) at the rear of the property, approximately 1,200 square feet i. size. This proposal would eliminate this parking area, however the front parking space can accommodate the sites needs. The Director of Community, Economic, and Development Services, in accordance with Section 20.54.030 (D) of the Zoning code has determined that five parking spaces is sufficient to meet the facility's parking needs. This area can accommodate three vehicles and is utilized by both the employees of the dog day care as well as patron loading and unloading of dogs. The dog day care facility offers a taxi service, however a majority of the clients choose to drop -off and pick -up their own dogs. The outdoor area will be enclosed on all sides by a screened six -foot high chain link fence. The screening will consist of a green, prefabricated wire mesh material. The indoor use of the facility will be utilized by a maximum of 20 dogs at any time. The facility would maintain an average of 15 dogs on a daily basis. The outdoor area of the facility will be used for two hours in the morning and four hours in the afternoon, with a maximum of five dogs at a time. All dogs staying overnight will be kept indoors, and will be allowed to roam the indoor premises freely, with an overnight attendants supervision. The new operations are not expected to generate additional clients or excessive noise. The applicant states that all dogs will be pre- screened to see if they are compatible with the facilities "home -like" atmosphere. The criteria include: proof of vaccinations; dogs must be people friendly; and compatibility with other dogs. The applicant has indicated that this type of facility does not use cages, kennels or other restraining type enclosures, in an attempt to reduce excessive barking due to stress or nervousness.

Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: (Briefly describe the project's surroundings) All properties surrounding this dog day care facility are located in the Small Business (SB) Zone. An audio /video equipment business is located to the north of the subject site. The property to the south is a clothing manufacturer. There is a parking lot across the alley behind the dog day care facility, and there are manufacturing uses to the east and west of the subject site. In general, the surrounding area is zoned (SB) Small Business. There are no hospitals or children's day care facilities in the immediate area. The City of El Segundo is located in the Los Angeles urban area and is considered part of the Airport/South Bay subregion. The City of El Segundo is situated between Los Angeles International Airport to the north; the City of Los Angeles Hyperion Wastewater Treatment Plant and Department of Water and Power Scattergood Generating Station and the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Chevron oil refinery and the City of Manhattan Beach to the south, and Del Aire (a Los Angeles County island) and the City of Hawthorne to the east. 10.

Franklin Ave. El Segundo, CA 90245 RE: Dog and Animal Safety Project No. EA -500 CUP 99 -8 We recently have become aware of a new business that is applying for a conditional use permit to board animal's overnight. We are concerned that this project be held to the standards for boarding animals recommended by the American Boarding Kennel Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association. These standards recommend such things as appropriate HVAC systems with 10 to 15 fresh air changes per hour for disease prevention, sprinkler systems for fire control and other health related industry standards. Our review of the Environmental checklist for Howie's Pet Sitting & Doggie Day Care is that these issues are not being addressed. Another business, Grateful Dogs (Project No. E -487 CUP 99 -3) was given a permit in 1999 and they do not meet theses standards either. In addition, we would hope that both businesses have to comply with the same conditions of use that the city of El Segundo held our business to in 1999. Mainly that the entire living area had to be soundproofed, their had to be an attendant on site 24 hours a day, and we had to have an automatic fire sprinkler system installed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.

The work includes cleaning of the sewer mains, inspection and video filming the sewer lines. Information obtained will then be analyzed to locate potential problem areas to be included in future annual sewer main rehabilitation programs. It is generally recommended that sewer mains be video inspected every five (5) years. The last video inspection of the sewer mains was done in 1991.

Gilbert, Administrative Battalion Chief Subject: EA -500, CUP 99 -8 Howie's Pet Sitting and Doggie Day Care The Fire Department has reviewed the correspondence provided by Mr. Jack Baldelli of Airport Kennel Inn. Our review of the matter included documentation on the Environmental Assessment EA -210, UUP 89 -1 for Airport Kennel, the Environmental Assessment EA -487, CUP 99 -3 for Grateful Dogs, the Environmental Assessment EA- 500, CUP 99 -8 for Howie's Pet Sitting and Doggie Day Care, the Uniform Building Code 1997 Edition, the Uniform Fire Code 1997 Edition, the El Segundo Municipal Code, Pertinent State Codes and Regulations, National Fire Protection Association Standards and a survey of eleven (11) Southern California Cities or agencies that have similar type occupancies. The survey included: Beverly Hills, Culver City, Gardena, Hermosa Beach, Long Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Santa Monica, Torrance, Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County and the City of Pasadena. As a result of our review we found that 10 years ago, in 1990, the El Segundo Fire Department suggested that Airport Kennel Inn, 235 Franklin Avenue, install automatic fire sprinkler protection. This was consistent with the automatic fire sprinkler system requirement for a new development in the Smokey Hollow area of the City ( Smokey Hollow Specific Plan II -25). An influencing factor was a kennel fire in the City of Pasadena, which resulted in a number of animal deaths in an unsprinklered facility. The City Council ultimately required automatic fire sprinkler protection as a condition of their CUP (Resolution 3631, dated April 3, 1990), based on the Fire Department's suggestion and the tragic fire in Pasadena. However, in regard to the Environmental Assessment EA -487, CUP 99 -3 for Grateful Dogs, and the Environmental Assessment EA -500, CUP 99 -8 for Howie's Pet Sitting and Doggie Day Care, the codes, regulations and standards reviewed do not require any specialized fire systems for this type of occupancy other than those required by building size and construction type, which in this case is fire extinguishers only. Finally, as to Mr. Baldelli's concern of these projects being held to the recommendations of the American Kennel Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association the Fire Department has no regulatory function for these areas. In conclusion, the Fire Department recognizes the importance of fixed fire protection systems and would suggest their installation in all structures, if possible. However, as a Public agency we must remain objective and base our findings on current codes and regulations.
