Public Hearing for an appeal of the Planning Commission denial of Environmental Assessment EA -491 and Conditional

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND'
On November 29, 1999, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider Environmental Assessment EA491
and CUP 99 -9, which is a proposal to install and operate a new utility- mounted Wireless Communications Facility
(WCF) on an existing 60 -foot high Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) utility pole located at 505
East Imperial Avenue, in the public right -of -way (parkway) The WCF would consist of three (3) panel antennas
suspended from two (2) antenna arms at a height of approximately 26 feet on the existing utility pole A CUP was
required because the two (2) antenna arms would protect horizontally about five (5) feet from each side of the utility
pole The maximum horizontal protection allowed by the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) for utility- mounted WCF
is 18 inches Protections greater than 18 inches require approval of a CUP [Section 20 62 100 (E) of the ESMC]

DISCUSSION
Page 2
At the Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission adopted Resolution No 2458, denying the project based
on the following findings 1) the proposed utility- mounted WCF would not be visually compatible with the surrounding
area, 2) the proposed landscaping around the equipment cabinets would protrude into the available on- street parking,
3) the WCF would be detrimental to aesthetics, 4) alternative locations should be explored, and, 5) the project is not
in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan
On December 9, 1999, the applicant's agent, Nat Pendleton of O'Neal Communications Group, Inc , filed an appeal
of the Commission's decision to deny the project In his letter of appeal, Mr Pendleton claims that the Commission
a) did not show proper discretion when it closed the public hearing because it brought forth three (3) new issues which
the applicant was not given an opportunity to respond to, and, b) the Commission's decision was not supported by
evidence presented by the applicant or information contained in the Planning staff report
According to Mr Pendleton's appeal letter, the three (3) new issues brought forth by the Commission were 1) that the
project would set an "undesirable and unwanted precedent for the utility pole mounted wireless antenna facilities in the
City of El Segundo ", 2) that the applicant should have considered alternative sites, and, 3) the equipment cabinets
would interfere with the on- street parking along Imperial Avenue In general, staffs response is that these three (3)
issues were discussed by the Commission or by members of the public during the public hearing, as evidenced in the
Planning Commission Minutes for November 29, 1999 (attached), and the applicant had the opportunity to respond to
these issues at that time
Furthermore, with regards to Item 2 above, Mr Pendleton was specifically asked by the Commission if the applicant
had considered locating the antennas on the bell tower of the nearby mortuary Mr Pendleton replied that it would be
up to the mortuary and that to his knowledge, the applicant had not considered the mortuary bell tower as a possible
site Contrastingly, in his appeal letter, Mr Pendleton states that the applicant had investigated the mortuary as a
possible site, but the owner was reluctant to enter into a lease negotiation
Mr Pendleton's second point is that the Commission's decision is not supported by evidence presented by the applicant
or the Planning staff report Specifically, Mr Pendleton states that the Commission based its denial on the anticipated
negative visual impact of the WCF to the surrounding area and its residents Staffs response is that the Commission
denied the project on several grounds, not merely aesthetics, as stated in Resolution No 2458 (attached)
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, staff recommends that the City Council uphold the Planning Commission's decision based on the above -
mentioned facts
p, \projects \ea -491 \ais- appeal
01,
Assessment EA491 and Conditional Use Permit CUP 99 -9, and,
WHEREAS, at said hearings the following facts were established.
The project is a request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a utility -
mounted wireless communication facility (WCF) to extend horizontally more than 18
inches from an existing utility -pole which it would be attached to. The proposed WCF
would be located in the public right -of -way (parkway), at 505 East Imperial Avenue
The protect site is the existing 60 -foot high Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
(LADWP) utility pole located approximately 125 feet east from the intersection of Sheldon
Street and Imperial Avenue, in front of 500 East Imperial Avenue (mortuary property) The
project site also includes a portion of the parkway (about 49 50 square feet) located
approximately 175 feet east from the intersection of Sheldon Street and Imperial Avenue,
in front of 530 East Imperial Avenue (elementary school). The distance between the utility
pole and the affected portion of the parkway is about 49' -7 ".
The WCF would contain 3 panel antennas attached to 2 antenna arms [with a horizontal
extension of 5 feet per arm on each side of the utility pole, for a total horizontal length of
10 feet per arm] located about 26 feet high on the utility pole The WCF would also
contain 3 Base Transceiver Station (BTS) electronic equipment cabinets, which range in
height from 4 feet to 5 75 feet, which would be located on a 49.50 square foot concrete
pad in the parkway The WCF would be unmanned.
4. Nearby and adjacent land uses include a mortuary and elementary school to the south,
public right -of -way to the east and west, Imperial Avenue and a landscaped open space
strip (which separates Imperial Avenue from Imperial Highway) to the north, and Imperial
Highway and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) further north
5 According to the Public Works Department, Pacific Bell Wireless is not required to sign a
franchise agreement with the City for locating the WCF in the public right -of -way because
it is considered a public utility company which is exempt from signing such agreements as
determined by the Public Utilities Commission
6 The City of El Segundo, acting as the lead agency, has determined that a Mitigated
Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is the appropriate environmental review for
the project, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). No
potentially significant environmental impacts are anticipated due to the development or
operation of the proposed protect
The Draft Initial Study was made available to all local and affected agencies and for public
review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law As the C.0 P was
denied. The Planning Commission additionally denied the certification of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration
On November 29, 1999, at the public hearing, the Planning Commission determined that
the utility- mounted WCF would not be visually compatible with the surrounding area, the
landscaping around the BTS cabinets would protrude into the available on- street parking,
the WCF would be detrimental to aesthetics, alternative locations for the WCF should be
explored, and, that the WCF is not in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies

of the General Plan
9. On December 9, 1999, Nat Pendleton of O'Neal Communications Group, Inc.,
representative for Pacific Bell Wireless, filed a letter of appeal with the City Clerk, within
the 10 day appeal period In his letter of appeal, Mr Pendleton claims that the
Commission 1) did not show proper discretion when it closed the public hearing because
it brought forth three (3) new issues which the applicant was not given an opportunity to
respond to, and, 2) the Commission's decision was not supported by evidence presented
by the applicant or information contained in the Planning staff report
10 On January 18, 2000, at the public hearing, the City Council denied the appeal of Planning
Commission Resolution 2458 finding as follows.
a) The proposed WCF does not blend Into the surrounding environment, in fact due to
the height and bulk of the ground - mounted portions of the facility and the narrowness
of the parkway where it is proposed to be sited, visual screening to make the proposed
WCF adequately blend into the surrounding environment cannot be achieved,
b) The landscape screening of the proposed WFC would be likely to protrude Into the
adjacent public right -of -way and /or improperly Intrude into the adjacent sidewalk and
vehicle parking area and present an Inconvenience and /or possible hazard to the
public;
c) Due to Its overall size and Its proposed location, the WCF would present a visual
blight;
d) The appellant has not adequately explored alternative sites for this WCF, and has not
presented sufficient evidence that Indicates there are not ample adequate alternative
sites where this WCF may be located that will both serve the technical needs of the
appellant and provide a more aesthetically pleasing and less obtrusive alternative to
the proposed location;
e) The proposed WCF is not compatible with the surrounding land uses in the area
because it presents a visual blight and a potential inconvenience and /or hazard to
users of the public nght -of -way and, due-to the overall size of the WCF and the severe
limitations of the proposed site, such incompatibility cannot be adequately mitigated,
f) The siting of the proposed WCF is not in conformance with the goals, objectives and
policies of the General Plan or Title 20 of the El Segundo Municipal Code.
SECTION 1. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above facts of
proposed Environmental Assessment EA -491 and Conditional Use Permit CUP 99 -9, the City
Council upholds the Planning Commission's decision and in so doing, denies the appeal, thereby
denying the project

Re Pacific Bell Wireless Letter of Appeal to City of El Segundo Planning Commission Re.:
Denial of Resolution No. 2458, CUP -99 -9, EA -491), proposed Utility Mount Wireless
Telecommunications Site at 505 Imperial Avenue, (LA- 942 -04)
Dear Mr Henson
Pacific Bell Wireless in accordance with the provisions in Section 20.82 020 of the City of El
Segundo Zoning Code is hereby filing this letter appealing the City of El Segundo Planning
Commission's decision to deny the Planning Departments recommendation for the approval of
Resolution No 2458, per the decision handed down at the November 29, 1999 public hearing at
the City of El Segundo
REASONS FOR APPEAL:
A. The Planning Commission did not show proper discretion when it closed the testimony
from the applicant and then subsequently brought forth new issues in their closed discussion
which were key in forming their decision for demal and to which the applicant was not given the
opportunity to respond to, nor given the opportunity to request a continuance of the hearing at a
later date to respond to these new issues The new issues brought forth by the Planning
Commission are as follows, along with Pacific Bell Wireless's response to each of these new
issues
ISSUE 1. The Planning Commission contends that the proposed site would set an
undesirable and unwanted future precedent for utility pole mounted wireless
antenna facilities in the City of El Segundo because of the fact that the proposed Pacific
Bell Wireless antennas would extend out from the pole 60" which is beyond the desired
18" horizontal extension limitation called for under section 20 62 100 E of the City of El
Segundo Zoning Code (ESZC) and would therefore have a significant negative visual
environmental unpact
Rebuttal: Pacific Bell Wireless contends that although the approval of this site would
set a precedent for utility pole mounted antenna facilities, this would not lead to a future
proliferation of these type of facilities m the City of El Segundo, especially along the
Imperial Avenue/ Imperial Highway condor for the following reasons

madequate, to no coverage depending on location within the subject area of
the Imperial Highway corridor between Sheldon Street and Pershing
Avenue, LAX to the north and the northwest section of the City of El
Segundo The proposed site will allow Pacific Bell Wireless to upgrade the
above areas to good to adequate coverage m all the above areas, with the
exception of the Main Street/ downtown area in the north west section of the
City, where coverage will continue to be poor to marginal Pacific Bell
Wireless currently plans to propose an additional site in the year 2000 and is
currently working with City of El Segundo Planning Department's input to
find a suitable site in the downtown area (Ref Exhibit I- Pacific Bell
Wireless Before and After RF Coverage & Site Location Maps)
It is not likely that there would be a proliferation of applications by the
other carriers for utility mount antenna sites as the other carriers
already have coverage sites along the Imperial highway Corridor which
are strategically placed monopole and rooftop sites
The (3) three other wireless carvers licensed to operate in El Segundo and
currently having sites online along the Imperial Highway corridor are
located as shown on the attached map (Ref Exhibit II- Wireless career site
location map)
AirTouch has a 50 ft monopole located 2250 East Imperial winch is of
adequate height to serve the area Sprint and Nextel have rooftop sites at 50-
ft elevation located at 1440 East Imperial Avenue and 1320 East Imperial
Avenue respectively, which have adequate elevation to serve the area
Pacific Bell Wireless has investigated locating a site in the 1000 -2000 block
of Imperial Avenue but due to the location of other existing Pacific Bell
wireless sites and the bully topography in the area a site located in this area
will not fill the hole in the existing Pacific Bell Wireless coverage

Pacific Bell Wireless Letter of Anneal to City of El Segundo Planning Commission Re: Denial of
Resolution No. 2458, CUP -99 -9, EA -491
(Coot)
Pacific Bell Wireless takes issue with Section 20.62.100.E of the ESZC
which stipulates a desirable maximum horizontal antenna extension
from the utility pole of IS inches, while the State of California Utility
Commission General Order 95, Rule 20 5 -E states that (Ref Exhibit III)
"Climbing Space means the space reserved along the surface of a
climbable pole or structure to permit ready access for linemen to
equipment and conductors located on the pole or structure. Climbing
space shall be maintained from ground leveL"
The HNorizontal separation suggested in The City of El Segundo Zoning
Code does not allow for this service crew access This has been
confirmed by the LADWP, who has reviewed and approved the proposed
design. The Commissioners discussing this matter at the hearing agreed that
perhaps this limitation should be revised in view of the above information
ISSUE II. The Planning Commission contends that the applicant should have looked
at alternate sites for the location of the proposed site and should have considered
locating on suitable adjacent buildings in the area or should have considered a stealth
type monopole in the adjacent school district property to the south of the proposed site
Rebuttal Pacific Bell Wireless has determined in due diligence that the proposed
site is the only site available that will be able to furnish adequate coverage to the target
coverage area. The applicant has conducted a site search in the search ring target area for
the past year having looked at (7) other potential sites that were determmed to be either
unavailable, would not pass the RF test, or were deemed undesirable by the City Planning
Department (Reference attached Exhibit IV -Site Search Summary & Exhibit I- Pacific
Bell Wireless Before & after coverage & Site Location maps)
If Pacific Bell Wireless were to locate the site further to the south or east, as suggested by
the Planning Commission, tins would require a higher antenna installation in order too
assure that radio signals would not be blocked by the hilly topography in the area This
would either require a monopole, which is no longer allowed by current zoning, or a roof
top antenna installation on an existing structure of sufficient height Pacific Bell Wireless
has searched the area for a suitable structure and dewimmed that there are no available
buildings of suitable height available in the search ring area The existing building
structures of adequate height that he further to the east are too distant to provide adequate
coverage based on actual RF coverage tests conducted Pacific Bell Wireless has
investigated locating a site in the 1000 to 2000 block of Imperial Avenue, but due to the
location of other existing Pacific Bell wireless sites and the hilly topography in the area a
site located in tins area will not fill the existing coverage hole

The Mortuary property, immediately to the southwest of the proposed site, was suggested
by the Planmng Comrmssion at the hearing as a potential site for a roof mount
installation This site has been investigated, as a potential candidate site by the Pacific
Bell Wireless site acquisition team but the owner was reluctant to enter into a lease
negotiation
A stealth monopole site located on the adjacent elementary school property was
suggested by the Planning Commission This site is not recommended because of the
potential for substantial negative public relation issues to be dealt with based on past
experience in locating on elementary school properties and the fact that many school
distncts are hesitant to enter into negotiations due to unfavorable public comment
None of the "Pre- Approved" Public Facility Sites listed in City of El Segundo Resolution
No 4105 are feasible candidates for the proposed site they are either to distant from the
target coverage area or are unpractical because of the Billy terrain in the area which
would block radio transmission signals (Ref Exhibit V- City of El Segundo Resolution
No 4105)
ISSUE III: The Planning Commission contends that that the proposed landscaping
around the three (3) proposed ground mounted equipment cabinets located in the
the 5 foot wide parkway planter area on the south side of Imperial Avenue would
interfere with street parking and therefore the location of the cabinets in the parkway
planter should not be allowed
Rebuttal: The applicant concedes that the landscaping requested by the Planning
Department to mitigate the appearance of the cabinets from the street, would extend to
the edge of the curb as designed and as required in the limited 5' wide parkway planter
space, Pacific Bell Wireless agreed at the hearing that it would maintain the landscape to
the City's satisfaction and prevent it from growing into the street by keeping it trimmed
on a regular basis as required Considering the aforementioned, Pacific Bell Wireless
feels the proposed installation would not place an unreasonable burden on citizens who
may want to park on the street adjacent to the cabinets, because only one parking space is
impacted and one can exit from the drivers side of the car or move forward to allow
passengers to exit from the passenger side Furthermore, there is more than adequate
parking along both sides of the street and the adjacent mortuary has its own parking lot,
which is adequate to handle its normal visitor traffic It should be noted that newspaper
racks, benches and light poles are commonly located adjacent to curbs in such a manner
to partially block passengers exiting from the right side

B. The Planning Commission Decision for denial is not supported by the evidence
presented by the applicant and the evidence in the City of El Segundo Planning Staff
Report for the following reasons
ISSUE 1 The Planning Commission contends that the proposed site will have a
significant enough negative visual impact on the area ands its residents to warrant
denial of the site, while at the same time there was not one property owner out of the 108
notified who voiced a complaint about the site, either at the hearing or prior to the
hearing, to the applicant's knowledge Pacific Bell Wireless concedes that the proposed
antennas might be considered unsightly mounted by themselves, but maintains that they
do not make the power pole significantly more unsightly than it already is Are the
proposed (3) three 681ugh x 8 "wide x 2 "deep antennas mounted on arms extending
outward 60" from the existing 60 ft lugh LADWP wooden power transmission pole, with
(4) four levels of power transmission lines and (4) four 8' horizontal cross supports
visually significant when viewed in relation to the much larger scale of the power
transmission poles and the backdrop of the overhead transmission Imes?
In order for those reviewing this appeal to understand more clearly why Pacific Bell Wireless has
narrowed their search for a site in the area to the proposed location at 505 Impenal Avenue, one
must understand what Pacific Bell Wireless's (PBW's) overall goals and technical parameters are
in selecting a site The following is a brief explanation of PBW's goals and the technical
parameters involved in selecting this site
Pacific Bell Wireless, a subsidiary of Pacific Bell telephone company, has set their goals to
become the premier wireless provider to bring a superior, more cost- effective and secure personal
communication services (PCS) wireless communications network to the Southern California
market Wireless communications are transmitted through the air by radio frequencies The two
oldest forms are cellular and enhanced specialized mobile radio (ESMR), both of which are
transmitted by radio waves The newest form of wireless commumcations, personal
communications services (PCS), is transmitted by higher frequency radio waves PCS is the next
generation of wireless communications Consumers of PCS will be offered more affordable
services such as voice communication, caller identification, paging, facsimile services, E -mail,
video telecommunications, and cellular digital data communications (CDPD) Eventually,
customers may have one single phone number for many of those services, regardless of location
Wireless communication is accomplished by linking a wireless network of radio wave
transmitting devices such as portable and car phones, to the conventional telephone system
through a series of short-range, contiguous cells Similar to honeycomb pattem, a cellular system
is composed of many neighboring and interconnecting "cell site," or geographical areas. Each
cell site within the system contains transmitting and receiving antennas As a customer enters one
cell and exits another, the call is transferred between the cells by a computer

Calls can originate or be received from a wireless source because antennas share a fixed number
of frequencies across the network grid That is, while a caller may dial his/her destination
number from within the radius of one cell antenna, then travel into the radius of another during
the call At the same tune, the call is handed off from one antenna to the next While the caller is
moving, the provider's antennas are automatically locating an unoccupied frequency on the next
antenna, thus enabling continuous, uninterrupted transmission
The distance between antenna sites will normally range from 1/2 mile to 9 miles, depending on the
population density, consumer usage, existing vertical elements, and the geographical terrain
And, while PCS requires more antenna sites, they are generally not as large or obtrusive as
conventional cellular sites, some of which require huge housings the size of an 8' x 12' room In
order to have a clear line -of- -site, antennas must be mounted lugh enough to overcome challenges
posed by local topography and development The required height is usually proportional to a
combination of the distance antennas can cover and the demand for PCS service within their
sphere of influence Antennas can be mounted on freestanding towers, guyed towers, and lattice,
or self- support towers Antennas can also be placed on rooftops, integrated into the building's
architecture, and other building features if the building's height can accommodate the service
area Wireless facilities are located throughout the service area to provide adequate call coverage,
capacity and quality The following are some of the basic types of cell sites
Coverage site serve to expand coverage in large areas or in areas with difficult terrain and to
enhance coverage for portable systems Coverage sites allow users to make and maintain calls as
they travel between cells The proposed sire al 505 haponal Avenue is a ootarale site.
Capacity sites serve to increase the capacity when surrounding sites have reached their practical
channel Imuts As the years pass, the number of subscribers increases exponentially creating a
strain on the existing network In order to alleviate this strain, capacity sites are implemented into
the systems network to accommodate the increase in customer demand
PCS is basically an expanded, more advanced and cost- effective network than the current cellular
and ESMR systems Like cellular, the PCS system uses wireless access and is designed with
mobility needs in mind PCS will employ transmission stations that carry and hand -off phone
signals as the caller moves from one area to another The PCS systems will work at the 1900
Mhz frequencies and will mcorporate all the services—and more — available from the current
cellular systems Like the ESMR systems, the PCS system is a digital technology with an 8 1
ratio of voice channel to cellular This allows for greater system capacity —far beyond that of
cellular PCS digital technology, a GSM based technology, uses lughly encrypted signalmg
making eavesdropping on a call nearly impossible The encryption and encoding algorithms are

highly advanced requiting a would be eavesdropper to listen to the signal for days before they
could decode it (unlike cellular where it take merely minutes)
A key advantage of the PCS technology is the advanced features In a cellular system a highly
mobile user would require a cellular phone, pager, and cellular modem The PCS technology
incorporates all those devices into one —the phone A PCS phone acts as pager, cellular phone,
and modem The PCS system also has short message services, winch allow the user to receive
and send short messages to /from the mobile phone Unlike the conventional paging system, if the
user's phone is not turned on, the message will be saved and sent when the user is ready The
PCS system allows the user to define when and where they want to make or receive calls The
PCS system user can be assigned a single number and through a follow me calling technique, the
system will route the call to the user wherever they are In summary, the PCS system
incorporates all the technological advances made by the cellular and ESMR systems to provide a
single platform for mobility
Since their introduction, wireless telecommunications systems have proved to be an invaluable
communications tool in the event of emergencies (traffic accidents, fires, etc ) and natural
disasters (earthquakes, floods, etc ) where normal land line communications are often disrupted,
overlooked, or inaccessible during and after an event has occurred This service and similar
technology are utilized by numerous governmental and quasi - governmental agencies that provide
emergency service Wireless telecommunications systems, including cellular telephones, have
also proved to be invaluable tools in business communications and everyday personal use In tins
sense, wireless telecommunications system networks have proved to be desirable in the interest of
public convenience, health, safety, and welfare

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT EA-491 AND CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT 99 -9 FOR A NEW UTILITY- MOUNTED WIRELESS
COMMUNICATION FACILITY AT 505 EAST IMPERIAL
AVENUE, IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY (PARKWAY).
PETITIONED BY: PACIFIC BELL WIRELESS.
WHEREAS, applications have been received from Pacific Bell Wireless, requesting said
approvals,
WHEREAS, an Environmental Assessment (EA -491), which includes an Initial Study
and Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the proposed use, has been
prepared and circulated to all interested parties, staff, and affected public agencies for review
and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the applications and supporting
evidence with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act,
State CEQA Guidelines, and the City of El Segundo Guidelines for the Implementation of the
California Environmental Quality Act (Resolution No 3805),
WHEREAS, on November 29, 1999, the Planning Commission did hold, pursuant to law,
a duly advertised public hearing on such matter in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 350
Main Street, and notice of the public hearing was given in the time, form and manner prescribed
by law,
WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the
findings of Environmental Assessment EA -491 and CUP 99-9, and,
WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established
The protect is a request for approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow a utility-
mounted wireless communication facility (WCF) which would extend horizontally more
than 18 inches, in the public right -of -way (parkway), at 505 East Imperial Avenue
2 The protect site is the existing 60 -foot high Los Angeles Department of Water and Power
(LADWP) utility pole located approximately 125 feet east from the intersection of Sheldon
Street and Imperial Avenue, in front of 500 East Imperial Avenue (mortuary property)
The protect site also includes a portion of the parkway (about 49 50 square feet) located
approximately 175 feet east from the intersection of Sheldon Street and Imperial Avenue,
in front of 530 East Imperial Avenue (elementary school) The distance between the utility
pole and the affected portion of the parkway is about 49' -7"
3 The WCF would contain 3 panel antennas attached to 2 antenna arms [with a horizontal
extension of 5 feet per arm on each side of the utility pole, for a total horizontal length of
10 feet per arm] located about 26 feet high on the utility pole The WCF would also
contain 3 Base Transceiver Station (BTS) electronic equipment cabinets, which range in
height from 4 feet to 5 75 feet, which would be located on a 49 50 square foot concrete
pad in the parkway The WCF would be unmanned
-, ?�
4 Nearby and adjacent land uses Include a mortuary and elementary school to the south,
public right -of -way to the east and west, Imperial Avenue and a landscaped open space
strip (which separates Imperial Avenue from imperial Highway) to the north, and Imperial
Highway and Los Angeles international Airport (LAX) further north
According to the Public Works Department, Pacific Bell Wireless Is not required to sign a
franchise agreement with the City for locating the WCF in the public right -of -way because
it is considered a public utility company which is exempt from signing such agreements as
determined by the Public Utilities Commission
The City of El Segundo, acting as the lead agency, has determined that a Mitigated
Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is the appropriate environmental review
for the project, In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) No
potentially significant environmental impacts are anticipated due to the development or
operation of the proposed project
7 The Draft Initial Study was made available to all local and affected agencies and for public
review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by law As the General Plan
Amendment, Zone Change, and Zone Text Amendments are recommended for Denial,
the Planning Commission additionally recommends that the City Council Deny the
certification of the Mitigated Negative Declaration
8 On November 29, 1999, at the public hearing, the Planning Commission determined that
the utility- mounted WCF would not be visually compatible with the surrounding area, the
landscaping around the BTS cabinets would protrude into the available on- street parking,
the WCF would be detrimental to aesthetics, alternative locations for the WCF should be
explored, and, that the WCF is not in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies
of the General Plan
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission denies
Environmental Assessment EA-491 and CUP 99 -9
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that, according to the El Segundo Municipal Code, a copy of this
Resolution shall be mailed to the applicant at the address shown on the application and to any
other person requesting a copy of same

Contract Planner Hannah L Brbndial Bowen summarized the staff report as
outlined in the Agenda Packet.
Vice -Chair Wycoff asked for clarification on the length of the horizontal
antenna arms. Ms. Bowen stated the total length is 10 feet, with a width of 5
feet on each side of the pole.
Chairman Crowley questioned the standard in the City for truck clearances.
Ms Bowen stated she will check the Zoning Code Interim Director Hansen
stated that the City's standard should be equivalent to the State Department of
0 25
Highway's standard which is probably in excess of 14 or 15 feet
Chairman Crowley asked if another unit was added, would the applicant need
to go through the CUP process again? Interim Director Hansen stated it would
probably be within their administrative ability to approve it, assuming that there
would not be any net extension abdbe and beyond what is currently allowed.
Chairman Crowley opened the public hearing.
Nat D. Pendleton, O'Neal Communications Group, Inc.
He stated he is available for questions
Vice -Chair Wycoff asked what the purpose is for three antennas and their
orientation?
Mr. Pendleton stated they need to have a 360 degree coverage around the
antennas, and each antenna covers a one -third sector. He said they have
three cabinets with one holding the radio equipment, one holding the telco
interconnect which they have with the land system and the other is a power
cabinet. He further stated that they will try to bring the antennas down to a
level that would be less intrusive and still maintain adequate clearance
underneath.
Vice -Chair Wycoff asked if there is any minimum separation on the antennas?
Mr Pendleton stated yes, and that is why they have the 5 foot arms allowing
the desired separation.
Vice -Chair Wycoff pointed out that two of the antennas have almost no
separation Mr. Pendleton stated they need the separation away from the
pole, not so much between antennas.
Vice -Chair Wycoff also asked why the antennas have to be out away from the
pole? Mr Pendleton stated it is a necessary requirement in order to get the
coverage. He further said the reason they have the 5 foot separation away
from the pole is that it is a requirement of the State Utilities Commission that
allows space for them to climb the poles.
Vice -Chair Wycoff asked if there has to be 5 feet of clearance all around the
pole for climbing purposes? Mr. Pendleton stated they have to get the 0
degree direction off of the first ector, 240 degree direction off of the second
sector and 120 degree direction off the third section. He said this approach
would only require one cross arm.
Vice -Chair Wycoff suggested instead of having horizontal separation, there
could be vertical separation against the pole which would impose less of a
visual impact Mr Pendleton pointed out that each antenna is essentially two
antennas in one which transmits and receives, and the approach they currently
have would eliminate the need for six antennas.
Roy Yonemoto, O'Neal Communications Group, Inc. ) 2 6
He stated they need the horizontal separation to meet the G095 requirement
to have the climbing space He further said there is a certain requirement for
distance of separation between their equipment and the existing utilities on the
pole, and vertical separation may impose on these requirements.
Commissioner Kretzmer expressed; concern with competitors installing similar
equipment in the area.
Commissioner Mahler asked if this device would have a positive or negative
impact for actual cellular phone usage in El Segundo? He also asked if there
would be any noise impact on the closest residents Mr. Pendleton stated this
cell site is strategically placed and will improve coverage in El Segundo He
further indicated there would be no noise involved
Chairman Crowley asked if there will be expansion capabilities? Mr Pendleton
stated the site will only be a coverage site and will handle a limited amount of
traffic and will not be expanded.
Chairman Crowley expressed concern with the landscaping, and stated the
bushes on the other side of the sidewalk may protrude into the street parking
area. Mr Pendleton indicated the landscaping would be maintained at least
twice a year. He further indicated there is approximately 21 feet of clearance
above the asphalt.
Commissioner Kretzmer suggested that the cabinets be painted a color that
would blend in with the landscaping. He also asked if the antennas are similar
to antennas seen affixed to buildings? Mr. Pendleton stated yes
Commissioner Kretzmer stated the antennas do not enhance the look of the
utility poles, and he would prefer to place them in an alternative area. He
suggested color coordinated panels be constructed and placed on the bell
tower around the mortuary. Mr. Pendleton pointed out that it would be up to
the mortuary
Mr Pendleton explained that they have explored other alternatives for
placement of the antennas including other utility pole sites, but felt the pole
they have selected is a good alternative to a regular monopole. Also, he
stated there are no appropriate other buildings other than the mortuary. He
further stated they have been working with the Planning Department and staff
for the last year and feel the site selected is the best alternative for a site that
will give them the coverage needed in the area.
Carl Jacobson, El Segundo Resident
He noted that the City passed a wireless ordinance in the past for pre - setting
some sites for these type of wireless antennas. He also stated where the
shrubs will be located is where the parking is for people going to the mortuary,
and the passengers of the cars will not be able to ewt in that area. He
indicated the coverage will help Pac Bell's system, not the other wireless
systems. He foresees more wireless companies wanting to give coverage to
027
the Airport, and these companies will be installing their systems on more poles
in the area
Chairman Crowley closed the public hearing
Commissioner Kretzmer read the -language in Policy LU7 -2 5 and stated he
does not believe that anything that is not visually detrimental necessarily
enhances the appearance of surrounding areas He believes there is another
alternative to make the project more attractive He is also concerned with
setting a precedent for other wireless companies He stated he does not
believe this project is consistent with the policies of the General Plan
Chairman Crowley indicated that they have already approved a lot of wireless
facilities along the Imperial Avenue comdor, but also agrees this proposal
would be a precedent setting item. He noted that the proposal would be
located on a shorter pole in the area because it is on a hill Regarding the
CUP, he also questioned whether or not it is compatible with the surrounding
area He also would like to see more (utility) wires put underground in the
future.
Commissioner Mahler stated that the Commission has to decide if this
proposal is in the best interest of the City and is the vision they want to pass
onto the citizens.
Vice -Chair Wycoff indicated that in the past when the Commission enacted the
Wireless Communications Ordinance, there was a lot of discussion over many
meetings He said there was clear intent of enabling the requirements of the
FCC and Federal regulations for open access in the City while maintaining
aesthetics so the wireless facilities would not become an eyesore. He believes
they arrived at a fair and equitable compromise for all concerned. The 18 inch
requirement was to prevent a horizontal spread out from vertical structures to
mitigate the visual impact in the sky He feels this proposal does not comply
with the literal interpretation or intent of the Ordinance He would like to see
some alternatives. He pointed out that on the Environmental Impact Study
under Aesthetics, Master Page 26, Box 3 (less than significant with mitigation
incorporated) is checked under Question C, Substantially Degrade the Existing
Visual Character or Quality of the Site and Its Surroundings He is also
concerned with precedent setting and parking being impacted. He further
noted there would not be much residential coverage for the City as a whole,
but it would provide a lot of coverage for the LAX area.
Commission Mahler pointed out that the proposal looks more like it would be a
win for Pacific Bell rather than the City of El Segundo. He suggested exploring
another option.
Chairman Crowley reviewed the three findings that have to be met.
Commissioner Kretzmer stated Condition #1 cannot be met because there isn't
a zone to be complied with, and the proposal does not meet Condition #1
Vice -Chair Wycoff stated Condition #B cannot be met because there are no
028
4
other wireless facilities in the area, and putting one in would not be consistent
with the current use of the area He further indicated that by putting this
proposal in would create other facilities coming in up and down the street
which would be a cumulative effect
Chairman Crowley pointed out that•the only thing that makes this proposal a
CUP item is that it is more than 18 Oches away from the pole, and this must be
the focus on their decision
Chairman Crowley stated there is not a problem with Condition #3
Commissioner Kretzmer disagreed with the last sentence under General Plan
on Master Page 16 stating, "Staff believes that the project is in conformance
with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan, since the project as
proposed visually enhances the surrounding environment."
In summary, Chairman Crowley stated the Commission has concerns about
the first two items required under the CUP, in which the proposal may set a
precedent that will be detrimental to aesthetics and materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity; and, if the proposal is appropriate in
the zone because the zone does not have any guidance, particularly for a
public right of way. Commissioner Kretzmer added that he does not find that
the project is in conformance with the goals, objectives and policies of the
General Plan
Chairman Crowley moved to deny approval of Environmental Assessment EA-
491 and Conditional Use Permit CUP 99-9: New Utility- Mounted Wireless
Communication Facility. Vice -Chair Wycoff seconded. Passed 4 -0.
Commissioner Kretzmer indicated that procedurally, the Commission has
denied the CUP and given, for the record, their reasons in support of the denial
of the CUP, and it would be up to the applicant at this point to determine
whether or not they want to make a re- application or petition to the City
Council At this point, staff is not required to come back with any revised
language for the CUP application or for the Resolution.
Mr. Luebberke clarified that the Commission has put their findings on the
record, and what is before them is a Resolution to approve. By voting yes to a
motion to deny the Resolution as it exists is adequate.
Interim Director Hansen stated the Tno- Manufacturing application will not be
heard at the December 9, 1999 meeting. However, the General Plan
consistency finding for the Capital Improvement Program will be scheduled for
December 9, 1999.
Commissioner Kretzmer stated he is pleased to see the decorations for the

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - PURPOSE. FINDINGS, AND ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Section 20 62 100 (E) of the El Segundo Municipal Code (SSMC), a utility- mounted
wireless communication facility which extends horizontally more than 18 inches requires
approval of a CUP The proposed WCF would have 2 antenna arms which would extend
horizontally about 10 feet (for each arm) The applicant is requesting approval for such a CUP
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 of the following findings can be met (the
findings appear in bold, with City Staff's analysis following)
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;
As stated previously, the protect site is the parkway (public right -of -way) at 505 East Imperial
Avenue and is not located in any zone Pursuant to Chapter 20 62 (Wireless Communication
Facilities) of the ESMC, a utility- mounted WCF is permissible if it does not protrude or extend
horizontally more than 18 inches from the utility pole, if it does, approval of a CUP is required
The applicant is seeking approval of a CUP since the utility- mounted WCF would extend
horizontally about 10 feet Although the project site is not located within a specific zoning
designation, the proposed location of the WCF is in accord with the provisions of the Zoning
Code
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; and,
Operation of the proposed WCF will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or
be matenaily injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity As stated previously, the 3
panel antennas and 2 antenna arms would be located approximately 26 feet high on the
existing 60 -foot high utility pole and the 3 BTS equipment cabinets would be located in the
parkway The utility- mounted WCF would be visually compatible with the surrounding area
since it would be painted a neutral color and would be located along an existing utility corridor 0 3
3
which has many utility poles of similar height and size to the project utility pole and which are
already part of the visual landscape Moreover, the BTS cabinets are not anticipated to
interfere with vehicular or pedestrian - oriented traffic nor would they be located within the
driveway visibility triangles of the nearby driveways To mitigate any potential visual impacts
that the BTS cabinets would have on the surrounding area, the applicant will be required to
screen the cabinets from view with landscaping Also, conditions incorporated in draft
Resolution No 2458 will ensure that the project is developed in a safe manner
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 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
As described and analyzed above, staff believes that since the required three Conditional Use
Permit Findings can be made, CUP 99 -9 should, be approved, with conditions The Planning
Commission may consider and impose additional conditions through the Conditional Use Permit
process, which it deems necessary, in order to meet the required Conditional Use Permit
findings
GENERAL PLAN
The General Plan goals, policies and objectives which relate to this project are from the Land
Use Element Specifically, Policy LU7 -1 7, which required the establishment of development
standards for WCF in order to regulate their location and design, and, Policy LU7 -2 5, which
states that all public facilities and utilities should be designed to enhance the appearance of the
surrounding areas in which they are located Staff believes that the project is in conformance
with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan, since the project as proposed
visually enhances the surrounding environment
INTERDEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
The draft Initial Study, architectural plans and project applications were circulated to all City
Departments /Divisions for their review and comments All the City Departments /Divisions
concurred with staffs determination to prepare a Mitigated Negative Declaration and one verbal
comment was received from the Public Works Department relating to the maintenance of the
landscaping in the parkway
In brief, Public Works wanted to know who would be maintaining the landscaping around the BTS
cabinets The Planning Division's response was that the applicant will be required to maintain the
landscaping around the BTS cabinets for the life of the project A condition has been included in
draft Resolution No 2458 which states this requirement Additionally, the Planning Division asked
Public Works if a franchise agreement between Pacific Bell Wireless and the City would be
required for locating the WCF in the public right -of -way According to the Public Works
Department, Pacific Bell Wireless is not required to sign a franchise agreement with the City for
locating the WCF in the public right -of -way because it is considered a public utility company
which is exempt from signing such agreements as determined by the Public Utilities
Commission.

CONCLUSION
Thus, based on the information presented in this Report, Staff recommends that the Planning
Commission adopt Resolution No 2458, thereby approving CUP 99 -9, with conditions, and
certifying the Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for this project

IV. EVALUATION OF ENVU NMENTAL 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 previously 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, and 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 cnteria or threshold used to evaluate each
question, and (b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance

11. AESTHETICS. Would the project
� a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista9 I j I I X
The project would be located in the parkway of Imperial Avenue Nearby developments include an elementary school to
the south east, a mortuary to the south west and multi - family residences further east and further west Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX) is located about 400 feet north of the project site No impact to a scenic vista is anticipated
since none exist in or around the project area
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, Including, but not limited to
trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic
X
highway?
The project would involve the installation of 3 panel antennas on an existing utility pole and the installation of 3 ground -
mounted BTS cabinets in the parkway The construction of the 49 50 square foot concrete pad for the BTS cabinets will
not involve the removal of any trees or rock outcroppings There are no historic buildings on or near the project site which
would be affected by the proposal The project will have no impact on scenic resources since none exist on or near the
project area
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site I I X
and its surroundinas?
The project would involve the installation of 3 panel antennas on an existing utility pole and the installation of 3 ground -
mounted BTS cabinets in the parkway The 3 panel antennas would be attached to 2 antenna arms (approximately 10
feet long each) at a height of about 26 feet on an existing 60 -foot high utility pole The antennas and arms would be
made of non - reflective plastic and colored sandstone The 3 BTS cabinets would range in height from 4 feet to 5 75 feet
and would be located in the parkway, at ground -level It is not anticipated that the antennas and arms would have a
detrimental effect on the visual character of the surrounding area since the utility pole is existing, the color would be
neutral, and the height of the antennas would not exceed the height of the pole The BTS cabinets, on the other hand,
would be located at ground -level and therefore, would be more visible to vehicular and pedestrian traffic In order to
mitigate the possible visual impact the cabinets could create, the applicant will be required to landscape the area
surrounding the cabinets with tall shrubs This landscaping shall be maintained throughout the life of the project
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely X
affect day or nighttime views in the area
The project will not generate light or induce glare since no new light sources are proposed The antennas and arms
would be made of non - reflective plastic The BTS cabinets would be screened by tall shrubs No impacts to daytime or
nighttime views are anticipated
2. 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?
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to X
the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California
Resources Aoencv to non - aoricultural use?
The project site is a 49 50 square foot portion of a parkway in the public right -of -way and an existing utility pole, therefore,
the site is not being utilized as farmland Moreover, no impact to farmland Is anticipated since no farmland exists in or
around the project vicinity

no Williamson Act contracted land in the City of El Segundo
a
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their
location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non- X
agricultural use?
The protect site is located in the public right -of -way along Imperial Avenue and is not zoned (nor used) for agricultural
use Since no farmland exists in or around the protect vicinity, no impact to farmland is anticipated
3. AIR QUALITY- Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air
pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations Would the protect
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality
X
plan'2
The proposed utility- mounted wireless facility would be unmanned, except for occasional maintenance visits which would
occur about 1 or 2 times per month Due to the nature of the protect as an unmanned wireless facility, it is not anticipated
that the protect will conflict with or obstruct the Implementation of any air quality plans
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing
X
or protected air quality violation
Development or operation of the protect will not violate any air quality standard or contribute to an existing air quality
violation due to the small scale and nature of the protect, as an unmanned wireless facility Occasional maintenance
visits of 1 or 2 times per month would occur but due to the relatively infrequent maintenance schedule of the wireless
facility, no significant impacts to air quality from vehicle emissions are anticipated
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non - attainment under an
applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including
X
releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
During project construction, negligible amounts of stationary and /or mobile source emissions could be generated by the
project, however, due to the small scale of the protect (only 49 50 square feet for the concrete pad), as compared to
SCAQMD's threshold of significance which begins at 1,102,520 square feet of gross floor area, these emissions are not
anticipated to create a significant cumulative net increase in criteria pollutants for the region
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
X
Refer to discussion for Item 3c above
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?

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,
X
or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U S Fish and
Wildlife Service?
The project site is a portion of a parkway and an existing utility pole in the public right of way Development and operation
of the project will have no impact on any animal species due to the small scale and nature of the project
b) Have a substantially adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other
sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies,
X
regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U S
Wildlife Service?
The project site is a portion of a parkway and an existing utility pole in the public right of way of a highly developed, urban
area No impact is anticipated since it is not located on or near a riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as
defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited

Urban Development Department (HUD) and administered through the Los Angeles County Community Development
Commission (CDC) Participating cities receive funding based upon the total number of cities participating in the
County's program, and a city's commitment to provide housing, economic, social service, and community development
opportunities which principally benefit persons of low and moderate income levels
There will be no change in CDBG funding levels from last year

Description of Current Year's Activities (Fiscal Year 1999 -20001
The 1999 -2000 CDBG allocation for the City of El Segundo was $112,375 Federal guidelines limiting CDBG
expenditures on public service projects to 15% of a City's total allocation, and 10% on CDBG Administration, required
that a General Fund supplement totaling $44,644 be added to the 1999 -2000 CDBG annual budget The City of El
Segundo traditionally devotes approximately 50% (or $60,000 for Fiscal Year 1999 - 2000), of its total annual allocation
to fund three public service projects (Home Delivered Meals, Senior In -Home Care, and Juvenile Diversion) During
the 1999 -2000 CDBG Program Year, the 15% public service cap limited the cumulative amount of total CDBG dollars
available to spend on all public service projects to $16,856 Thus, in order to maintain existing levels of service, a
supplemental source of funds was required On January 5, 1999, the El Segundo City Council, recognizing the need
to maintain existing service levels for the three public service projects and CDBG Administration, authorized the use
of General Funds to supplement the shortfall of CDBG monies The remaining 1999 -2000 CDBG allocation of $84,281
funded two housing improvement projects Minor Home Repair ($42,141), and Residential Sound Insulation ($42,140)
The following project descriptions identify the City's CDBG activities for the 1999 -2000 program year These projects

In addition to the 2000 -2001 allocation, unspent funds from previous program years' closed -out projects totaling

selected at this time, all remaining CDBG funds are placed in a "contingency' account held by the L A County CDC and
may be accessed at any time during the course of the 2000 -2001 program year to fund eligible CDBG projects Any
unexpended funds at the end of the program year are not lost, they are 'rolled over' into the next budget year for
reprogramming (public service projects, such as Home Delivered Meals, Senior In -Home Care, and Juvenile Diversion,
are excluded from these reallocated funds) Thus, the previously unexpended funds of $104,095, plus the 542,141 from
the new 2000 -2001 CDBG program year, results in a total "CDBG Contingency' amount of $146,236

DISCUSSION.
The study recommends merging the existing 91 separate classifications into 77 There are 22 positions designated
for a title change only, 12 were recommended to be split into or merged into different fob classifications and 14
positions were recommended for deletion With respect to compensation issues, the study recommended that the City
implement the study by establishing salaries close to the ' mean" of the surveyed agencies
NggotiaUons
The two employee associations were included in the process from the outset The consultant met with representatives
of the associations and management staff several times during the process, including meetings with their respective
boards to present findings and recommendations During the process, staff concluded that due to "past practice" with
respect to a previous classification and compensation study performed in 1990, and the desires expressed by the
associations that the current study should be implemented on a "step -to- step" basis Simply stated, a "step -to- step"
implementation means that employees will be moved into the new salary ranges created by the study at the same
step that they now occupy in the current salary ranges (e g individuals at "E" step in the current range shall be moved
to E step in the new range)
After examining the organizational impact of implementing the study on a pure "step -to- step" basis, staff determined
that the costs would exceed significantly the funds budgeted for employee salaries during the current fiscal year
Accordingly staff worked extensively with the two bargaining with the goal of implementing the study close to the
budgeted amount The associations responded by accepting a modified step -to -step implementation plan that limits
the amount of salary increases recommended for several employee classifications
Organizational Goals and Flscallssttes
The fiscal impact of implementing the plan this fiscal year should not exceed $351,100 The amount currently
budgeted for implementation of the study is $300,000 However, it should be noted that the proposed implementation
of the study includes several management objectives, such as establishing the compensation for the Communications
Dispatcher classifications approximately 5% above market and reorganizing the Fire Prevention and Safety Function
of the Fire Department The percentage increase represented by implementation of the study as proposed is
approximately 5 9% for the this fiscal year However, it is worthwhile to note that the City has just finished the second
vea, of a three -year agreement with both the CEA and Supervisory/Professional association The first year cost -of-
I , ing adjustment (COLA) specified in the agreements, effective July 1998, was 5% The 5 9% cost of implementing
this vear s study would represent the second year cost and the third year COLA, effective July 1, 2000, will be 2% or
CPI whichever is greater The three -year average for salary adjustments, including the implementation of the study,
would be approximately 4 3 %, depending on CPI figures in June /July 2000
In adddion to meeting the City s goal of establishing Dispatcher salaries slightly above the market rate for recruiting
purposes the Council should note that the study also incorporates several management goals pertaining to the Fire
Prevention and Safety function of the Fire Department In an effort to maximize and broaden the responsibilities of
the individuals currently responsible for providing those seances, the Fire Chief and the consultant developed one (1)
additional supervisory position and a part-time Environmental Intern position to carry out the additional safety and
educational services to be carried out by the Fire Department in the coming year It should be noted that the current
organization chart for the Fire Prevention and Safety function calls for four (4) full -time employees reporting to a
Battalion Chief The revised chart shows four (4) full -time employees and one (1) part-time intern (currently vacant)
reporting to the Environmental Safety Manager The redistribution of responsibilities would be carried out by the
following positions one (1) Environmental Safety Manager ( currently Environmental Safety Coordinator), two (2)
Principal Fire Prevention Specialists (currently Fire Inspector II), one (1) Fire Prevention Specialist (a new position and
currently vacant) and one (1) part-time Environmental Intern (a new position and currently vacant)
It should also be noted that though no commitments were made by staff, the employee associations made it clear that
they were bargaining with an eye toward negotiating for a 2 % @55 PERS Retirement Plan in the future The current
AtOUs with the CEA and the Supervisory/Professional Employees include the provision that the City shall meet with
their representatives during the coming year with the intent of discussing the 2 % @55 plan It would be fair to state
that both bargaining units negotiated responsibly in an effort to establish groundwork in obtaining their larger goal of
an enhanced retirement package
Finally, the Council should be aware that the MOUs approved by the City Council in July 1998 required retroactive pay
back to July 1 1999 for affected positions in the event that the preparation and approval of the Classification and
Compensation Study extend beyond July 1, 1999 $87,800 will be required to meet the retroactive pay requirements
and will be charged to the FY 1998 -99 Budget

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE. January 18 2000
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING- Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION
Consideration of the establishment of a Census 2000 Complete Count Committee to assist the United States Census
Bureau to achieve a complete population count of all residents in El Segundo
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION-
1) Discussion,
2) Authorize the formation of a Complete Count Committee, and /or,
3) Other possible action /direction
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
On December 7 1999 representatives of the U S Census Bureau addressed the City Council to discuss the purpose
and importance of the City forming a Complete Count Committee to partner with the Census Bureau to ensure the
taking of an accurate population count for the City At that time the Council directed staff to review the matter and
recommend appropriate action to be taken by the Council
DISCUSSION
Tne year 2000 Census is scheduled to be conducted in March, 2000 At that time census questionnaires will be mailed
to all households in the City Completed questionnaires will be due back to the Census Bureau by April 1, 2000 It is
the hope of the Census Bureaus that the formation of a Complete Count Committee will help ensure that an accurate
population count is taken by including the active participation of local community, religious, civic, service fraternal,
homeowners and other associations /organizations As envisioned by the Census Bureau the City could act as a
catalvst for this community outreach to let people know the importance of completing the census questionnaire through
a Complete Count Committee The involvement of local organizations which have a stake in the services offered by
the City could help the City achieve a full population Count thereby minimizing the number of persons who go
incounted
Hcccrding to Census Bureau estimates there was an undercount in the City of El Segundo In the 1990 Census of 313
persons or about 2% of the City s population of 15 223 in 1990 Based on that estimation, the City receives
approximately 5175 00 per year per person in various federal funds which are distributed based on population
Between 1990 and 2000 the lost revenue due to the 1990 undercount was approximately $547,750 These estimates
illustrates the importance to the City of working to achieve an accurate population count for the 2000 Census to ensure
tnat future revenues would not be lost

DISCUSSION (Cont)
Page 2
Staff suggests that the City form a Complete Count Committee and invite representatives from various community
organizations to participate such as the School District Chamber of Commerce El Segundo Residents Association
Churches, service organizations (i e , Rotary, Kiwanis etc ), and other groups The Committee would "get the word
out' to the residents through these community organization about the importance of each household in town
completing the census questionnaires that will be distributed in March 2000 The Committee would use some of the
resources and promotional material supplied by the Census Bureau to advertise the upcoming Census
It is important to note that the City does not have any funds specifically dedicated to Census outreach Therefore the
amount of advertising and other promotions may be limited to those outlets which provide community news (i e
Community Cable El Segundo Herald etc ) and to personal appeals at various functions between now and April 1,
2000

AGENDA DESCRIPTION.
Recreation and Parks Commission recommendation for the development of city skate park at
reservoir adjacent to Hilltop Park
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION
Approve the Recreation and Parks Commission recommendation for the development of a skateboard
park on city owned property (reservoir) adjacent to Hilltop Park
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The City Council appointed a Skate Park Task Force to evaluate potential sites for the city's proposed
skate park The committee recommended one site that was not approved, and was given direction by
Council to continue the search for an acceptable site The Task Force visited a number of locations,
discussed the merits of each, and decided the abandon water reservoir adjacent to Hilltop Park was the
best location
DISCUSSION
At the Recreation and Parks Commission meeting of November 17, 1999, the Commission discussed this
issue and was addressed by a number of citizens There was a general feeling that a skate park is
needed in town Some citizens felt the reservoir site would be noisy, attract many youth, and be a liability
to the city Others were in favor of the location, commented on the amount of airplane noise citizens
endure and that our youth need a legal place to skateboard After careful consideration, the Commission
approved the Task Force recommendation and directed staff to forward their recommendation to the City
Council

the limitations inherent in that framework

To Mary Strenn, City Manager
From Ron Green, Interim Director of Public Works
Subject Request for Closure of Grand Avenue - Loma Vista to Vista Del Mar
On Saturday, January 29, 2000 from approximately 8 00 am to 3 00 pm approximately 200 members
of community service groups and volunteers will be planting 100 trees on Grand Avenue between
Loma Vista and Vista Del Mar in observation of BEST DAY 2000 There will be tables on both sides
of the street for registration, checking out tools, and rest rooms for the volunteers Small groups of
4 -5 persons will be working in the parkways on both sides of the street Due to the expected large
number of people, it is anticipated that the event may present a safety hazard to persons moving
about and crossing the streets It has been requested that the street be closed at Vista Del Mar and
at Loma Vista to eliminate the hazard of vehicular traffic during this event
This area is the jurisdiction of the City of Los Angeles Representatives from Los Angeles
Counalperson Ruth Galanters office are asking for an "Official' request for closure from the City of
El Segundo I have contacted Rotary Club President/Organizer Joe Harding, Lt Mitch Tavera of
the Police Department Traffic Division and Recreation and Parks Director Greg Johnson, all of whom
concur with this request for closure
It is my recommendation that barricades be placed and manned so that emergency vehicles and
busses will be allowed to pass through the closure which will create a 3' /z to 4 mile detour for
vehicles attempting to enter or leave the City via this route
Placing additional barricades, delineators and signage, provided by this City, may help alert drivers
approaching the closure from either side Advance publicity will help to notify drivers as well as
residents in the area who will be impacted by increased traffic forced to utilize side streets There
may be other levels of commitment - as yet unidentified - to be required of this City Some direction
as to those parameters needs to be defined
At your direction, I will draft a letter for the Mayors signature to the City of Los Angeles requesting
their approval and cooperation in handling the closure Meryt McGindley, Field Aide to
Councdperson Ruth Galanter (568 -8772) is the liaison with the City of Los Angeles on this project
I am attempting to contact her to get answers to some of the many questions that may arise
regarding the logistics of this event, however, as of this writing she has been unavailable

INTER- DEPARTMENTAL CORRESPONDENCE
DATE. January 11, 2000
TO: City Council
FROM: Greg Johnson, Recreation and Parks Director,
SUBJECT- Proposition 12
The statewide ballot on March 7 includes Proposition 12, sponsored by the state
legislature, which, if approved would authorize the sale of $2 1 billion in bonds to
fund state, regional, and local park projects
The last statewide park bond approved by the voters was over a decade ago
Another is long overdue Our still beautiful state park system needs facility upgrades
and repairs badly Moreover, sale of these bonds will provide funds for local and
regional park amenities that will benefit all of us, while protecting critical wildlife
habitat and open space
Besides its benefits to the state park system, the measure includes $388 million in
per capita grants to local park and recreation agencies for upgrading playgrounds,
lighting, budding and ground improvements If Proposition 12 passes, there will be
5200 million available for grants to local agencies in highly urbanized areas
This means Proposition 12 will be felt at a local level throughout the state The
money will help us upgrade and expand our recreation and park facilities, which
means higher quality programs and facilities for our community
