RE: City Council Meeting April 4, 2000
Howie's Doggie Daycare has meet all regulations and /or requirements put
forth by the City of El Segundo and Los Angeles County Animal Control
The American Kennel Association is a private professional organization;
therefore Howie's Doggie Daycare is not required to meet their rules and
regulations in order to conduct business in the City of El Segundo.
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.

A DOGGIE DAYCARE
The El Segundo Fire Department inspected Howie's Doggie Daycore and,
recommended that two fire alarms be installed. 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.
Truly yours, Benjamin Ramos. �---
Member of St. Anthony's New Parish hall steering committee.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 18, 2000
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Orders of Business — Continued Public Hearing
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Continued public hearing on a proposed eight -year Development Agreement to build an 84 -room expansion of the
Doubletree Hotel. (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.

DISCUSSION:
Page 2
There have been questions raised about the floor area ratio (FAR) on this project. 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.

Doubletree Hotel History
The existing Doubletree Hotel was originally approved through a Developme99t,,Agreement (Environmental Assessment
No. 32) on September 26, 1984 and Subdivision (SUB. 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.

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.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL
SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 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 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.

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.

the execution of this Agreement, the City agrees that it will not
unreasonably withhold from Developer or unreasonably condition or delay

proceed unless the City determines that (1) the failure to impose such
condition would place residents of the City in a condition substantially
dangerous to their health or safety, which condition cannot otherwise be
mitigated in a reasonable manner and (2) such condition is applied
consistently and evenly to all other similar developments in the City.
Moreover, in the event that a state or federal law or regulation is enacted
after this Agreement has been entered into, which would prevent or

x — EXHIBIT A
Council, as determined by the City Council, shall conduct such special
reviews.
(c) Procedure. During either a periodic review or a special review, the
Developer shall be required to demonstrate good faith compliance with the
terms of this Agreement. The burden of proof on this issue shall be on the
Developer. The parties acknowledge that failure by the Developer to
demonstrate good faith compliance shall constitute grounds for termination
or modification of this Agreement in accordance with Government Code §
65865.1.
(d) Cure of Default. If, on the basis of review of this Agreement, the
Director of Planning and Building Safety concludes that the Developer has
not complied in good faith with the terms of this Agreement, then the
Director of Planning and Building Safety may issue a written "Notice of
Non - compliance" specifying the grounds therefore and all facts
demonstrating such non - compliance. After receipt of said Notice, the
Developer shall, within 30 days, indicate to the City in writing the method
for curing the alleged non - compliance. The Developer's failure to cure the
alleged non - compliance within 120 days for non - monetary defaults and 30
days for monetary defaults after receipt of said notice (or, if not susceptible
to being cured in such time, then Developer's failure during such time to
commence such cure, and thereafter to diligently pursue such cure to
completion), shall constitute a default under this Agreement, subject to
possible termination of the Agreement as provided below. Upon
completion of a periodic review or a special review, the Director of
Community, Economic and Development Services shall submit a report to
the City Council setting forth the evidence concerning good faith
compliance by the Developer with the terms of this Agreement and the

its intention to terminate this Agreement and comply with the notice and public hearing
requirements of Government Code §S 65868 and 65867. At the time and place set for the

the Government Code,
14. 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

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.

Introduction
March 23, 2000.
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.

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.

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. This mitigation
measure has been incorporated into the conditions of approval of Draft Resolution
No. 2473 and 2474.
VI. Conclusion
Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for expansion of the
Doubletree hotel, subject to the conditions contained in Draft Resolution No.
2473. Staff also recommends that the Commission recommend that the City
Council approve the Development Agreement, subject to the conditions
contained in Draft Resolution No. 2474.

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

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.

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

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.

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
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.

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.

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

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?

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?

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.

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

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

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)?

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.

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.

I. 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. Analysis for this scenario was

Future Base Conditions This traffic scenario provides projected traffic volumes
and an assessment of operating conditions under future conditions without the
addition of the proposed project. Analysis for this scenario was obtained from the
City's Circulation Element.
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.

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.

FUTURE BASE CONDITIONS
Future Base traffic volumes, as shown on Figure 4, and resulting operating conditions were
obtained from the City's Circulation Element. 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

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.

under the Future Base and Future Plus Project conditions to estimate the incremental increase
in the V/C ratio caused by the proposed project.
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

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.

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

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

IV. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
This study was undertaken to analyze the potential traffic impacts of the proposed expansion of
the Doubletree Hotel on the local street system. The following summarizes the results of this
analysis:
A total of four intersections were analyzed hin the study Of the four intersections currently ope ate at�LOS C or betteroulevard area
durriing the morning and
evening peak hours. The remaining intersection, Sepulveda B
operates at LOS F during both peak hours. &Grand Avenue,
The proposed project would consist of the addition of 84 guest rooms and a 1,800- square
foot conference room. The proposed project is expected to generate approximately 749
daily trips with 56 vph occurring during morning peak hour and 60 vph during the evening
peak hour.
As per the City's Circulation Element, under Future Base conditions, two of the four study
intersections are projected to operate at an acceptable level of service (LOS D or better)
during 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
intersections are projected to operate at LOS D or better; Sepulveda Boulevard & Grand
Avenue is projected to operate at LOS F. peak hour, three of the four
Analysis of projected Future Plus Project conditions int icates that the proposed project
would not create any significant traffic impacts at the analyzed intersections.
Currently, there are 126 parking spaces provided by the hotel, 67 on -site and 59 in th
adjacent Mattel parking structure. The future supply includes 173 on -site spaces and 59
structure spaces for a total of 232 spaces. e

The Police Department has reviewed the plans for EA -503 and returns them with the following
comments:
Parkine Structure
• Wherever possible, the elevator lobby and stairwells should be located on the perimeter
of the structure. This will permit natural surveillance into the elevator lobby or stairwells
from exterior public areas. If the elevator lobby and stairwell cannot be located on the
exterior, glass can be used to enclose the lobby and stairwells.
• Will the parking structure have controlled access to the parking structure either by using a
key card system or a parking attendant?
Liehrine of Parkine Structure
• Proper lighting in the parking structure will have no affect on the guestrooms, or Mattel's
parking structure. Therefore, a transitional lighting plan within the parking structure shall
be established starting with a minimum maintained of two footcandles of light on the
ground surface. Light fixtures shall be directed into the edges of parking stalls rather
than just onto driving aisles.
• Suggestion: White staining concrete is a cost - effective method of increasing general
brightness. When applied to ceilings, walls and beam soffits, it reflects light, thereby
increasing uniformity and creating a sense of well- being.
ExterforLightine•
• Aisles, passageways and recesses related to and within the building complex shall be
illuminated with a minimum intensity of .50 footcandles at the ground level during the
hours of darkness.
• Weather and vandalism resistant covers shall protect lighting devices.
Photometric Stud -
• Pease provide a photometric study of the interior of parking structure and -the o o ; 7
the building. � � � -

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).

Planning Commission Minutes — March 23, 2000
EA -503, Conditional Use Permit No. 99 -10 and Development Agreement No. 99 -3
Calhotone -Dblt, LLC
Vice -Chair Wycoff presented Item 16, Environmental Assessment No. 503, Conditional Use
Permit No. 99 -10, and Development Agreement No. 99 -3. 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

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

MEETING DATE: April 18, 2000
rs of Business — Continued Public Heanno
Continued public hearing on a Conditional Use Permit to allow kennel (overnight boarding) operations at an existing dog day
care facility; and, certification of a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts. (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.

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).

requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) a Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impacts was prepared;
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 is in a built -out urban
environment; and,
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 Minimus finding pursuant to California Assembly Bill (AB)

Designation of Smoky Hollow Mixed Use.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives
of the Zoning Code 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. The purpose of the SB Zone is to perpetuate the
existence of small business and incubator industri* user in the Smokey Hollow
area. Although the use is "not industrial or manufacturing, it has no adverse
effects on these types of uses and is compatible with the existing use on the site.
Additionally, the project site is located within the Smoky Hollow area of the City,
as defined by the General Plan, which promotes a variety of land uses. A small
number of dog day care facilities with overnight boarding exist in this area,
making this proposal consistent with the goal of the Smoky Hollow area and past
Planning Commission and City Council decisions.

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. Because the site is currently operating as an indoor /outdoor dog day
care facility, expanding the operations to include overnight boarding would not be
expected to cause any further impacts if the conditions of approval are met.
Such conditions are expected to adequately address any concerns related to

Planning Commission finds as follows:
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
1 An Initial Study was prepared for the project which identified potential impacts on air,
noise, land use, natural resources, risk of upset, and transportation/circulation.
Completion of this study revealed that the proposed project would not have a significant,
adverse effect on the environment. Pursuant to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts
was prepared;
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 is in a built -out urban environment; and,
3 • That the Planning Commission hereby authorized the Director of Community, Economic,

Exemption and De Minimus finding pursuant to Califoril` 4 Assembly Bill (AB) No. 3158
and the California Code of Regulations. Within 24 hours of this approval, the applicant
shall submit to the City of EI Segundo a fee of $25.00 required by the County of Los

for the Negative Declaration. As approved 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.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
1 • That the proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of the
Zoning Code 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

2. That the proposed location of the use and the conditions under which it would be

materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. Because the site is
currently operating as an indoor dog day care facility, expanding the operations to include
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,
runoff to drains, and Animal Control approval. Such conditions are expected to
adequately address any concerns related to health, safety, welfare, and injury to

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. 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.

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

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

8. 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.

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. The overnight o

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.
Thank you for accepting these suggestions for the safety and heakh of our community's pets.
Sincerely,, --

Post s will be utilized. Fencing will be attached to poles with fence hooks, bolts, & plates. There
will be a green screen and /or meshing attached to the outside of the ence
. Once the fence is installed, a picnic table, choirs, and umbrella fwill be . placed within the
enclosed area. Clients (human a canine) will be able to enjoy the outdoors for short
during the day. Human clients will have a place to visit with periods their canine companion(s) during the
lunch hour, because a majority of our clients works within the city. Construction will be done by
a professional fencing company such as but not limited to Cal -State Rent a Fence or King Fence &

No. 2269, denying environmental clearance, denying a lot merger, and denying an
administrative site plan review for UPS Pared Distribution (EA -147) at 1915 -1985
Hughes Way, and opened the item for public comment
Gregory Broughton, UPS representative, addressed the Commission stating he felt
that in case traffic was generated as a result of the proposed project, the mitigation
fees, as well as the significant penalties imposed more than compensated in the
event traffic was generated. The Chair declared Mr. Broughton's comments to be
a Pmt of the record. Since no one else wished to address the Commission,
Chairman Schott closed the Oral Communications portion of the meeting.
Commissioner Dream stated his concerns with Findings Number 8, 5 and 6;
elaborating on Number 3 that any increase in traffic would be detrimental to the
community. He disagreed with issues regarding fees and further stated the
Commission does not have the right justification to accept this resolution. Vica-
Chairman Van Hook stated he believed the mitigation fee was receiwl{,up front
rather than penalties imposed, because of what the City might incur.
Commissioner Wilkenon requested staff clari5cation and a general disrncesion an e4
an the correct wording for Finding Number 3. Commilssionec Wilkerson suggested
it read '...fur this Project', and delete the remainder of the esnteaee. Therefore,

308,668 square foot parcel distribution center, with off -site traffic =it municipal
service cost mitigation funding measures, are not sufficient to reduce traffic for this

Subject: Environmental Assessment-EA -210, UUP 89 -1
235 Franklin Avenue
Applicants: Jack 8aldelli /David Nelson
The Fire Department has reviewed the application and plans for the proposed
project and has the following comments:
The applicant is Proposing to operate a boarding facility for animals that
appears to be able to accommodate upwardi of 100 animals. The applicant
additionally proposes state of the art soundproofing, runs, and cages in
order to provide the best of care for those pets boarded in the facility.
The Fire Department feels that this facility is similar to an apartment
house that, with a comparable number of occupants, would require a sprinkler
system to provide fire life ssfet7.
A similar type facility In Pasadena recently had a disastrous fire in which
quite a number of pets were killed that otherwise might have lived had the
building been equipped with an automatic sprinkler system.
The Fire Department suggests that an automatic fire sprinkler system be
installed in this facility as would be required in a new development by the
Smokey Hollow Specific Plan (II -25).

2. Appropriate $22,000.00 received from Final Finish, Inc., for the pump station rehabilitation projects.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The fiscal year 1999 -2000 Capital Improvement Program includes $300,000.00 for the refurbishment of Sanitary
Sewer Pump Station No. 4 located below street level at 1501 East Holly Avenue and $150,000.00 for the refurbishment
Of Pump Station No. 5, located below street level at 737 Center Street. Subsequent to the adoption of the Capital
Improvement Program, the City received a $22,000.00 contribution from Final Finish, Inc., a commercial laundry at
3164. Washington Street, for the City permitting additional sewer discharges from that business to Pump Station
Station No. 4 was originally constructed in 1964 and rehabilitated in 1982. It receives sewage from Pump Station No.
9 located at Kansas Street and El Segundo Boulevard, and together serves the general area bounded by Mariposa
Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard and California Street.
Pump Station No. 5 was originally constructed in 1972 and rehabilitated in 1984. It receives sewage from the general
area bounded by Lomita Street, Imperial Avenue, Mariposa Avenue and Washington Street.
Both the pump stations discharge to the Hyperion Sewage Treatment Plant. The pump stations currently have
maintenance and operational deficiencies in addition to old and unreliable equipment that is due for replacement.
Generally, sewer pump station equipment has a useful life of ten (10) years and both these pump stations have
equipment over sixteen (16) years old, for which repair parts are not readily available and beyond routine maintenance.
Additionally, Pump Station No. 4 has a wet well that needs to be enlarged to meet current and future needs.
The evaluation of the existing pump station and development of contract plans and specifications are beyond the
capabilities of City staff and staff is requesting City Council approval to solicit proposals from qualified professional
engineering consultants, who specialize in sewage pump station design, to provide these services. After receiving
the proposals, staff will report back to the City Council with recommendation for retaining a consultant to provide the
design services.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approve plans and specifications and authorize staff to advertise for receipt of construction bids.
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The Wastewater Division of the Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of
the Citys sewer lines. Proper maintenance requires identification and correction of problems, such as breaks,
alignment problems, and general condition of the sewer lines. Television inspection of sewer mains for
identifying and locating potential problem areas is the recommended procedure.

Staff has prepared specifications for cleaning and closed circuit television inspection of sewer mains west of
Sepulveda Boulevard, between El Segundo Boulevard and Imperial Avenue. 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. Problem locations discovered during that inspection were
prioritized and corrected as of today. Staff is requesting City Council adoption of the specifications and
authorization to advertise the project for receipt of construction bids.

INTER - DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
Date: April 12, 2000
To: James Hansen, Community & Economic Development Services Director
From: John W. 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.
