Elimination of a portion of required landscaping for a surface parking lot expansion. Off- site /joint -use parking. PROPERTY INVOLVED: 2200 -2250 Park Place (Spectrum Health Club), 800 Apollo Street (landscaping /parking lot modifications) and 831 South Douglas Street, 800 Apollo Street and 2201 Rosecrans Avenue (off - site /joint -use parking). 1. Introduction The project includes a Conditional Use Permit to convert approximately 35,000 square feet (S.F.) of existing office and research and development (R &D) uses, to recreational uses for the Spectrum Club. The Spectrum Club currently occupies 65,000 S.F. of the existing 100,000 S.F. building. Off- site /joint -use parking on adjacent sites, and re- striping of existing on -site surface parking lots, are proposed to accommodate peak hour parking demands. A Precise Plan amendment for the 800 Apollo Street building is required for the modifications to the existing surface parking lot and landscaping The zoning and the General Plan land use designation on the property is Urban Mixed -Use South (MU -S). The zone allows private and public recreational facilities with the approval of a conditional use permit. 3 3 031 C41 11. Recommendation Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the facts as contained within this report, and adopt Resolution No 2480, approving Conditional Use Permit CUP No 00 -04, with conditions, and adopt Resolution No 2481 recommending approval of Environmental Assessment EA No 521 and Precise Plan Amendment PP No 00 -01 to the City Council, with conditions Ill. Background 2200 -2250 Park Place Development and operation of the health club was originally approved in September, 1985 (Planning Commission Resolution No. 2121 - EA No 85, CUP No 85 -6) This Resolution approved a 64,375 S.F. health club facility, with the remainder of the existing building to be occupied by an office tenant (about 35,625 SY ) The Resolution conditioned that speck parking ratios were to be used for some of the uses and the non - specified uses were required to provide 1 parking space for every 270 S.F. of floor area, for a total of 278 parking spaces. The approval also allowed a maximum of 35% compact parking spaces. The Resolution conditioned that a peak hour parking survey be conducted to determine if additional parking was needed. In August of 1988, an additional 72 parking spaces were required, for a total of 350 parking spaces. The 72 off -site surface parking spaces were secured at 831 South Douglas, immediately south of the project site. This equates to an average parking ratio of 1-space per 184 S.F of floor area. In June of 1999, the Planning Commission approved the first amendment to CUP No. 85 -6 (Planning Commission Resolution No. 2450 - EA No. 482, CUP No. 99- 1). The amendment approved a 15,000 S.F. expansion, a 3,657 S.F. outdoor pool area and a 125,000 S.F., 336 space (approximately) multi -level parking structure. The parking ratio approved for the expansion was 1 parking space per 150 S.F., for a total of 496 spaces for the health club facility and the office tenant (assuming shared parking of 60 spaces). A Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted for the project. Since the previous tenant (TRW) has recently vacated a portion of the building, the applicant proposes to expand the health club into the existing square footage and provide more on -site surface parking as well as off - site parking instead of building additional square footage and the parking structure. 800 Apollo Street In 1974, a Precise Plan was approved to allow the construction of a 186,000 ST foot office and warehouse building with 465 parking spaces (City Council Ordinance No. 860- PP No. 8 -74). The Precise Plan also specked the layout of the parking areas and the square footage of the landscaping, walkways, and paved areas. Any revisions to these approved standards require an amendment to the Precise Plan. 2 C4.1 032 831 South Douglas Street . Construction of the existing 60,000 S.F. office building and 190 parking spaces was approved in 1965 There were no discretionary approvals for the project as it was approved through the budding plan check process This property currently has an off -site parking agreement with Spectrum Club for 72 spaces, as required by the CUP approved for the Club in 1988. 2201 Rosecrans Avenue Construction of the existing 80,000 S.F. R &D /office building and 371 space parking structure was approved in 1966. There were no discretionary approvals for the project as it was approved through the building plan check process IV. Analysis The proposed conditional use permit project for 2200 -2250 Park Place, is a request to convert approximately 35,000 S.F. of existing space, which was most recently leased to TRW for office and R &D (high bay lab) uses, to recreational uses for the Spectrum Club. The Spectrum Club currently occupies approximately 65,000 S.F. of the existing approximate 100,000 S.F. one -story concrete tilt -up building, which is located on an approximate 5.5 acre site The Club will occupy 100% of the building. The proposed conversion is anticipated to accommodate uses that are similar to the existing Spectrum Club, i e. recreational uses such as, basketball courts, gyms, support offices, health and nutrition counseling facilities, exercise studios, and similar recreational uses Additionally, the expansion plans to provide children's recreational facilities, such as a pool, locker rooms, childcare center and other similar recreational uses. The childcare facility, primarily for the use of Club members while utilizing Club facilities, is currently located in an adjacent building at 831 Douglas Street. It is anticipated that initially only a portion of the existing 35,000 SY will be converted to health club facilities and the balance of the space will be left as vacant open area for future expansion of the health club. The existing Club area will also undergo remodeling and upgrading to modernize the facility as well as tie the existing area into the expansion area. Off - site /joint -use parking on adjacent sites is proposed to accommodate peak hour parking demands. Additionally, the existing 310 space surface parking lots on the project site are proposed to be re- striped to accommodate additional parking which will eliminate approximately 660 S.F. of landscaped area. A total of 582 parking spaces are proposed to be provided for the use including 321 on -site in surface parking lots (Areas A, B and C on the attached Continental Park plan). The re- striping plan for Area A has been submitted to plan check for review, however, permits will not be issued until the Planning Commission has taken action on this application. Area B had a permit issued for the parking lot reconfiguration prior to the submittal of the subject applications and the reconfiguration is almost complete. The Area C revisions have not yet been submitted to plan check. Off- site /joint -use parking spaces include 72 at 831 South Douglas Street in surface parking lots (joint -use after 5.00 P.M.), 39 at 800 Apollo in a surface parking lot (available 24 hours), and 150 at 2201 Rosecrans Avenue in a parking 3 v 035 structure (joint use after 5:00 P.M.), (Areas D, E, and F, respectively, on the attached Continental Park plan.) The exact number of on and off -site parking spaces may change slightly, however the total number of 582 spaces will be provided The off -site parking locations are developed with buildings one to four stories in height and both surface and structure parking facilities The uses in these buildings Include office, R &D, lab and similar uses, and the typical hours of operation are 8 A.M to 5 P.M weekdays The peak hour hours of operation for the health club are after 6:00 P.M. weekdays, and on weekends A passenger /valet drop -off area Is proposed partially In the public right -of -way near the main entrance to the health club on Park Place, with stairs leading up to the Club entrance. A mid -block crosswalk is proposed across Park Place from the drop -off area to the property across the street at 2221 Park Place The Precise Plan amendment for the 800 Apollo Street building Is required for the modifications to the existing 14 space surface parking lot at the front of the building on Park Place, which will add approximately 24 more spaces for a total of 41 spaces, of which 39 will be available exclusively for use by the Spectrum Club. Additionally, the project will eliminate approximately 2221 S.F. of landscaping in the front of the building on Park Place to accommodate the parking lot expansion. Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses Surrounding land uses are described In Table A below. TABLE A SURROUNDING LAND USES wm w ,wq w o awwnw Surrounding land uses include offices /light industrial uses to the north, off ice /retail /commercial /restaurant uses and a parking structure to the south, offices and a hotel to the east, and a parking structure, offices/light industrial uses to the west 4 C46 034 LAND USE ZONE NORTH OFFICES/LIGHT INDUSTRIAL URBAN MIXED USE -SOUTH MU -S SOUTH OFFICES, RETAIL, AND URBAN MIXED USE -SOUTH RESTAURANT MU -S EAST HOTEL, OFFICES URBAN MIXED USE -SOUTH MU -S WEST OFFICES /LIGHT INDUSTRIAL, URBAN MIXED USE -SOUTH PARKING STRUCTURE MU -S wm w ,wq w o awwnw Surrounding land uses include offices /light industrial uses to the north, off ice /retail /commercial /restaurant uses and a parking structure to the south, offices and a hotel to the east, and a parking structure, offices/light industrial uses to the west 4 C46 034 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 (the findings appear in bold, with City staffs 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. According to Section 20.38.010 of the ESMC, the purpose of the MU -S Zone is to provide areas where a mixture of compatible commercial, offices, research and development, retail and hotel uses can locate and develop in a mutually beneficial manner It is the intent of the MU -S Zone to have several types of uses occupy a single building, or 6 a project includes multiple buildings, then each building should contain a different type of use. The project site is currently developed with a 65,000 S.F. (approximate) health club and a 35,000 S.F. (approximate) office space that is currently vacant. The proposed conversion of the office portion of the building to an expansion of the health dub is in accord with the objectives of this title and the purpose of the MU -S Zone since the 35,000 S.F. expansion would expand the existing health club complementing the mixed -use environment in Continental Park. As previously discussed, the surrounding land uses in the MU -S Zone are a mixture of office, light industrial, hotel, restaurant and retail uses, consistent with the MU -S Zone. The Club is compatible with the other existing and allowed uses in the surrounding MU -S Zone and is consistent with the purpose of the zone. Additionally, the off - site /joint -use parking is consistent with the zone, as it takes advantage of existing parking facilities for use by surrounding businesses with different peak parking demands, thereby eliminating the need for the further reduction of landscaping. 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, 5 C4r ui35 The location of the health club expansion would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties in the vicinity since the health club already exists on the site and the expansion simply converts the balance of the existing budding to health club use The project would provide an adequate number of parking spaces (1 space per 150 S.F.), through the use of existing off -site parking that is currently not used during the peak hours of the Club. The attached information from the applicant's traffic engineer shows the results of recent surveys from 7 other health clubs The engineer concludes that the ratio of 1/150 for the expansion will be adequate The average ratio for the 7 clubs surveyed was 1/154. The traffic engineer states that the proposed ratio of 1/150 not only exceeds the average, but since the Spectrum Club is a high end club, the club facilities and equipment are configured to reduce crowding which further decreases the parking demand The addition of children's facilities also reduces the parking demand as children do not drive and the club's facilities encourage family use, which reduces traffic volumes and parking demand through carpooling. Although the overall square footage of landscaping will be reduced, any landscaping that is removed will be replaced with mature landscaping including box size trees. Additionally, the areas in which the landscaping is being removed will still comply with zoning code requirements (Section 20.12.170) for property perimeter landscaping. The building perimeter and vehicular use area landscaping is legal non - conforming. The project will not further reduce these landscape areas and additional trees will be added throughout the parking lots when feasible. The on -site lots will also provide 6 -foot wide landscape strips throughout the surface parking lot. Although this landscaping is -not calculated towards meeting the required landscaping since it is within an area that is an overhang for the front of cars and is part of the required parking stall depth, it does provide a benefit and visual relief for the surface parking lot. Additionally, the landscaped curb acts as a bumper guard for the front of the cars, but does not provide a place for trash and leaves to collect and litter the parking lot. Conditions incorporated in the resolution will ensure that the project is developed in a safe manner, and public improvements will be required. 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, the amendment to CUP No. 85-6 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 6 C 4 8 036 Joint- use %off -sde Parkma Criteria Section 20.54.080 of the Zoning Code allows the Planning Commission to approve joint -use and off -site parking facilities for 10 or more parking spaces The parking may include the joint use of off -site and on -site spaces by mutually exclusive uses There are no maximum distance requirements, however the Planning Commission may impose conditions A parking covenant is required to be recorded in order to ensure that the parking spaces remain available. Precise Plan Criteria 800 Apollo Street The existing building, uses and development standards were approved under a precise plan (PP No. 8 -74) in 1974. A precise plan is a term for a development application that is no longer used in the City for new projects. A precise plan would now be call a specific plan A precise plan amends the zoning map by establishing permitted uses and development standards that apply only to the area covered by the plan. No variances are required for precise plans; the approval establishes the required development standards for a project. The adoption of a precise plan is a legislative act by the City Council, based upon a recommendation by the Planning Commission. There are no specific findings that must be adopted for an amendment of a precise plan. The City must, in approving a precise plan or precise plan amendment, make findings related to the following three areas* 1. The California Environmental Quality Act. As discussed below, the project is consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act. 2. The consistency of the action with the City's General Plan. As discussed below, the project is consistent with the General Plan. 3. A finding that the action is necessary to cant' out the general purpose of the Zoning Code. As discussed above, in the conditional use permit findings section, finding number 1, the project is necessary to carry out the general purpose of the zoning code. General Plan Consistency The General Plan goals, policies, and objectives which relate to this project are from the Land Use and Open Space and Recreation Elements Specifically, Goal LU6 and Objective LU6 -1 of the Land Use Element which support the maintenance of parks and recreational facilities; and, from the Open Space and Recreation Element: Goal OS1, Objective OS1 -2 and Policies OS1 -2.1 and OS1- 2.5 which support and encourage the development, operation and maintenance 7 G�,� of recreational facilities. Conformance with the General Plan is a policy issue which is determined at the discretion of the Planning Commission for a conditional use permit (or the City Council if the decision is appealed) and the City Council for a precise plan amendment The Municipal Code incorporate many requirements which will help to mitigate potential General Plan conflicts Staff believes that the project is in conformance with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan Interdepartmental Comments The project plans, applications and draft Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration were circulated to all inter - departmental staff and their comments are attached to the report (Exhibit E). The Finance, and Library Departments, as well as the City Manager and Economic Development Division, had no comments on the project. The Public Works Department is requiring that the applicant construct sidewalks with handicapped access ramps adjacent to the project on Park Place and Douglas Street to connect with existing sidewalks. This area currently has a 5 to 6 -foot public parkway The sidewalk could be located in the public right -of -way, on private property or a combination of both depending on the existing slope, landscaping and consistency with surrounding area sidewalks. In addition, the Public Works Department, as well as the City's traffic engineer, does not recommend approval of the mid -block crosswalk. The Public Works Department supports the drop-off and the City's traffic engineer feels that more information is needed on projected use of the drop -off and traffic volumes on Park Place before a final determination can be made At this point in time there is no need for a mid -block crosswalk as there is no "overflow" parking available at the property across the street, 2221 Park Place. The requirements of the Public Works Department and the City's traffic engineer have been incorporated into the resolutions as conditions of approval. The Police Department's Traffic Division verbally commented that they do not recommend approval of the mid -block crosswalk and the drop-off should be designed so that is does not interrupt traffic flow on Park Place. The Crime Prevention Division verbally commented that their concerns were basically the same as with the previous Spectrum Club proposal, related to security systems, lighting, landscaping, and other safety issues. Additionally, they requested that more information be provided on the day care facility and that they would provide comments and conditions when detailed plans are submitted to plan check. As a condition of project approval, the applicant will be required to show compliance with all Police requirements prior to issuance of a building permit and /or certificate of occupancy as appropriate The Assistant City Attorney noted that off -site parking requires Planning Commission approval, which is the subject of this application The Recreation and Parks Department had concerns with the elimination of landscaping. Although the square footage of landscaping will be reduced, all landscaping that is being removed will be required to be replaced with mature landscaping, including box size trees, so there will not be a net reduction in the number of 8 C 3 8 C30 trees on either site. Additionally, the areas in which the landscaping is being removed will still comply with zoning code requirements for property perimeter landscaping on both the 2200 -2250 Park Place and 800 Apollo buildings The building perimeter and vehicular use area landscaping is legal non - conforming and the project will not further reduce these landscape areas at the 2200 -2250 Park Place budding. The 800 Apollo building will reduce the building perimeter and vehicular use area landscaped areas below the current precise plan approval and the current zoning code requirements, however the total reduction of on -site landscaping is only 2221 S.F. out of a total of 36,011 S.F. of landscaping on -site The Fire Department commented that the budding would need to provide sprinklers, alarms, roof access, and compliance with all Fire Code regulations Additionally, occupancy classification will be required and approval if any hazardous or flammable materials are used on site. As a condition of project approval, the applicant will be required to show compliance with all fire requirements prior to issuance of a building permit and /or certificate of occupancy as appropriate. The Building Safety Division verbally commented that the building remodeling may require handicapped access ramps to be installed on both the east and west sides of the building. This may eliminate a few of the on -site parking stalls, however the off -site parking could be increased to accommodate any lost on -site spaces. The drop-off would need to provide handicapped access, or equivalent handicapped facilities would need to be provided. As the budding safety _ comments are standard code requirements, they have not been duplicated as conditions of approval. V. Environmental Review A Draft Initial Study was prepared by staff for the project, which identified potential adverse environmental impacts related to aesthetics and 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 Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council on the adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration for both projects. 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' comments have been incorporated into the Mitigated Negative Declaration, as well as the conditions of approval, as appropriate. VI. Conclusion Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for expansion of the Spectrum Health Club and the off- sderoint -use parking, subject to the conditions contained in Draft Resolution No. 2480. Staff also recommends that the Commission recommend that the City Council approve the Precise Plan 9 f' 5 039 Amendment and the Mitigated Negative Declaration, subject to the conditions contained in Draft Resolution No 2481.

Description of Project: (Describe the whole action involved, including but not limited to later phases of the project, and any secondary, support, or off-site features necessary for its implementabon. Attach additional sheets if necessary) The proposed conditional use permit project is a request to convert approximately 35,000 square feet (S.F.) of existing space, which is currently leased to TRW for office and research and development (high bay lab) uses, to recreational uses for the Spectrum Club. The Spectrum Club currently occupies approximately 65,000 S.F. of the existing approximate 100,000 S.F. building. The Club will occupy 100% of the building when TRW vacates. The proposed conversion is anticipated to accommodate uses that are similar to the existing Spectrum Club recreational uses such as, basketball courts, gyms, support offices, health and nutrition counseling facilities, exercise studios, and similar recreational uses. Additionally, the expansion plans to provide children's recreational facilities, such as a pool, locker rooms, childcare center and other similar recreational uses. The childcare facility, primarily for the use of Club members while utilizing Club facilities, is currently located in an adjacent building at 831 Douglas Street. It is anticipated that initially only a portion of the existing 35,000 S.F. will be converted to health dub facilities and the balance of the space will be left as vacant open area for future expansion of the health club Off- siterjoint -use parking on adjacent sites is proposed to accommodate peak hour parking demands Additionally, the existing surface parking lots on the project site are 043 proposed to be re- nd to aow nKxh to additional P"i Which will eliminate approximately 660 S.F. of landscaped area. A total of 582 parking spaces are proposed to be provided for the use including 325 on -site in surface parking lots Off-site/joint-use parking spaces include 72 at 831 South Douglas Street in surface parking lots point -use after 5:00 P.M ), 39 at 800 Apollo in a surface parking lot (available 24 hours), and 146 at 2201 Rosecrans Avenue in a parking structure (joint use after 5:00 P.M ) A passenger drop off area is proposed in the public nght -of- way near the main entrance to the health club on Park Place, with stairs leading up to the Club entrance A mid -block crosswalk is proposed across Park Place from the drop-off area to the property across the street at 2221 Park Place The Precise Plan amendment for the 800 Apollo Street building is required for the modifications to the existing 14 space surface parking lot, which will add approximately 24 more spaces for a total of 41 spaces Additionally, the project will eliminate approximately 2221 S_F, of landscaping in the front of the building on Park Place to accommodate the parking lot expansion A previous approval on the site (EA No - 482/CUP No 99-1) evaluated and approved a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Conditional Use Permit amendment for an approximate 18,000 S.F addition and 336 -space parking structure on the site Since the existing tenant (TRW) is now vacating a portion of the building, the applicant proposes to expand the health club into the existing square footage and provide off -site parking instead of building the expansion and the parking structure. 9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: (Bnetly descnbe the project's surroundings) The 5.5 acre (approximate) parcel (2200 -2250 Park Place) is developed with a 100,000 SY one -story concrete tilt -up building, of which approximately 65,000 S.F. is currently used as a health club (Spectrum) and approximately 35,000 S.F. is used as a research and development office (TRW). The parcel has three distinct parking areas, which currently provide a total of 310 surface parking spaces on -site. These lots are proposed to be re- striped to provide 325 surface parking spaces. The off -site parking locations (831 South Douglas, 8017 Apollo Street and 2201 Rosecrans Avenue) are developed with similar structures, one to four stories in height, with both surface and structure parking facilities. The uses in these buildings include office, research and development, lab and similar uses. Surrounding land uses include offices/light industrial uses to the north, offices and a hotel to the east; a parking structure, officesAight industrial uses to the west, office /retail/commerciaUrestaurant uses and a parking structure to the south. 10.

AESTHETICS. Would the project piifiatii sonifimit hnpaa WA Mropmu a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic Vista'? i I X There are no designated scenic vistas in the project area The subject parcel is developed with a 100,000 square foot concrete tilt -up budding and since there are no exterior improvements proposed, other than modifications to the existing surface parking lots, the project will not have an adverse aesthetic effect. b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic X highway? There are no scenic resources in the general area of the project The subject parcel is developed with a 100,000 square foot concrete tilt -up building and since there are no exterior improvements proposed, other than modifications to the existing surface parking lots, the project will not have an adverse aesthetic effect to scenic resources c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site X and its surroundings? The subject parcel is developed with a 100,000 square foot concrete tilt -up budding and since there are no exterior improvements proposed, other than modifications to the existing surface parking lots, the project will not degrade the visual character of the site or the surrounding properties. New mature landscaping to replace the landscaping that will be removed will be required. d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely X affect day or nighttime views in the area? The project is not anticipated to create a substantial new source of light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area At the time of building plan check, the applicant will be required to submit an exterior lighting plan to ensure compatibility with the surrounding properties Any new exterior lighting will be required to be shielded to limit off -site illumination to the hotel to the east of the project site. 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 Agency to nonagricultural use? he project site and surrounding areas are developed with offices, research and development buildings, parking tructures and a hotel The project will have no impact on farmland as none exist in or around the project vicinity. i Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? X ie project site and surrounding areas are zoned Urban Mixed -Use South, which do not encourage nor permit ricultural uses. The project site and surrounding areas are developed with offices, research and development buildings, rking structures and a hotel There is no Williamson Act contracted land in the City of El Segundo MIC C 4 7 Issues and avNIR. , 901111� LM I= swafimit sipn5emt Sipnfiemr boost with Itmliet Mtagmon 'nvolve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non- X agricultural uses The project site and surrounding areas are developed with offices, research and development buildings, parking structures and a hotel The project will have no impact on farmland as none exist in or around the project vicinity I 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 project a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality i X plan? 4 I The proposed uses (health club expansion into existing building square footage, off -site parking) are very small in scale and scope and are not anticipated to generate significant amounts of air pollution such that they will cause a conflict vnth or obstruct implementation of an applicable air quality plan. b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing X or projected air quality violation. The project is not anticipated to violate any air quality standard or to contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation, since the existing land uses (health club and office/ research and development) and proposed use (health club) on the site would not contribute to generating significant amounts of air pollution which would result in violating any air quality standards Furthermore, construction of the project will not exceed the SCAQMD's construction reshold of significance since the project is located within an existing building and the total project size is roughly 35,000 re feet in area 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) Development of the project would contribute to the generation of insigri ficant amounts of stationary (on -site construction activities and equipment, consumption of natural gas and electricity once the project is completed and in operation) and mobile source emissions (motor vehicie travel associated with construction activities and occupancy /operation of the project), however, due to the relatively small scale of the project, as compared to SCAQMD's threshold of signtficance, these emissions would not contribute to a cumulatively considerable net increase in criteria pollutants for the region. d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? T I I I X The nearest sensitive receptor to the project site is a hotel, located about 250 feet east of the site. As discussed above, development of the project would contribute to the generation of insignificant amounts of stationary and mobile source emissions. However, due to the relatively small scale of the project, as compared to SCAQMD's threshold of significance, sensitive receptors would not be exposed to substantial pollutant concentrations for any length of time. 0 M C 7 IstnesaadSappordmPWotma► trot sipiftmt tesu.a sistmacm LAW T11 n meteip�er stvds=t >r9w with Mmemm Itniiut Incorpmted special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of The type of use proposed (health club) is not known to generate objectionable odors, like restaurants and heavy industrialichemical sources Therefore, there are no impacts and no mitigation is required x 4.

See discussion for Items 6 (a) (iii) and 6 (a) (iv) above. Additionally, the issuance of a grading permit is a standard requirement in the City and will ensure soil stability during and after construction. (d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-a -B of the Uniform X Budding Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? An area located at the northeast comer of the City (south of Imperial Highway west of Aviation Boulevard, east of Hash and north of El Segundo Boulevard) has been identified as having expansive soil (specifically Montezuma Clay Adobe). However, since the protect site is not within this area, there is no expansive soil or impact. (e) Have sods incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not X available for the disposal of waste water? There is an available sewer system to support the wastewater needs of the project Therefore, there are no impacts. 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? X Development of the project site is not anticipated to create a significant hazard to the public or environment through the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials During construction, a small amount of hazardous substances (in the form of architectural coatings, paint or other weatherproofing materials) may be dispersed into the air, however, jue to the small scale of the project, a less than significant impact is anticipated C 7 ,� 051 1 } Jam and Sappordug Wormatl-_ Milli, , I LMVM I L=S t= stpntiMt sigm&ant statismt >ms with » Nhaptim Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through I reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the X likely release of hazardous materials into the environment?

I An aquifer exists between the Newport- Inglewood Fault and Sepulveda Boulevard The aquifer is estimated to be about 400 feet below the surface and several miles long It runs beneath the northeast and southeast quadrants of the City, which encompasses the project site Due to the minimal amount of grading which would be required for the proposed project, there will be no impact to the aquifer c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattem of the site or area, inoff which would unnecessarily burden the existing or planned stone drainage systems since the proposed uses (health lub and parking lot) will not generate significant amounts of runoff including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a X manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off - site? Construction of the project may alter the existing drainage patterns on the site, as new drainage patterns would be �r created by the new parking lot at 800 Apollo Street. However, no impact to soil erosion or siltation is anticipated since the majority of the site is already paved. Moreover, the new drainage patterns will not change the course of a stream or river since none are located on or near the project site. 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 X substantially increase the rate or surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off site? Construction of the project may slightly alter the existing drainage patterns on the site, as now drainage pattems would be created by the presence of the expanded parking lot at 800 Apollo Street However, the amount of surface run-off is not anticipated to increase substantially such that it will cause flooding on or off -sue. Prior to building permit issuance, the project will be required to conform to local, state and federal requirements governing drainage systems Moreover, the iew drainage patterns will not change the course of a stream or river since none are located on or off -site 3) Create or contnbute runoff which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial F7 X additional sources of polluted runoff? levelopment and occupancy of the proposed project is not anticipated to create or contribute to excessive amounts of inoff which would unnecessarily burden the existing or planned stone drainage systems since the proposed uses (health lub and parking lot) will not generate significant amounts of runoff Q 5 3 and , Otherwise substantially degrade water c roe 4 signifimt swafumt SSIVA6=1 > Mwpoon X The proposed project is not anticipated to impact water quality since they project is very minor and there is no nearby groundwater retrieval system or injection devices which could have the potential to degrade water quality g) Place housing within a 100-year floodplam, as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood X hazard delineation maps 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. h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would X impede or redirect flood flows? There are no 100 -year flood hazard areas in the project area. �) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee X or dam's No impacts to people or structures are anticipated due to flooding related hazards, including the failure of levees or dams, ice there are no 100- year flood plains and, because there are no dams or levees located within the City or the project ty. 1) inundation by setche, tsunami, or mudflow? X The project site is located approximately 2.5 miles east of the Pacific Ocean It is buffered from the Pacific Ocean by an oil refinery that is approximately 100 feet above sea level, as well as various multistory structures (office/light industrial buildings). Therefore, the risk of inundation by a setche, tsunami or mudflow is considered remote. 9. LAND USE AND PLANNING Would the project a) Physically divide an established community? X The proposed project would be located on a parcel which is currently developed and is surrounded by developed parcels, therefore, it will not physically divide an established community. The proposed uses would be compatible with the existing uses on the site as well as the surrounding areas b) Conflict with an applicable land use plan, policy or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance) X adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? The General Plan Land Use Designation and the Zoning Designation for the site is Urban Moved -Use South (MU -S). The ^roposed use (health dub at 2200 -2250 Park Place) requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) amendment and the ng lot modification (800 Apollo Street) requires a Precise Plan (PP) amendment. If the Planning Commission and Duncil can make the required findings for approval of the CUP and the PP then the project will be found to be - oribistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code. 12 (, 71 7 054 and Supporting c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural communities conservation plan? stmt si®dsewt siptfumt ttmw with Inwa 1141tipum There are no habitat conservation plans or natural communities conservation plans in the City of EI Segundo or neighboring communities, therefore there is no impact X 10 MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project j a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would I I be of value to the region and the residents of the state X-1 The site is not known to contain mineral, oil, gas, geothermal, or aggregate resources. The project would not affect e availability of these resources Therefore, no impacts would occur as a result of the project on the proposed site b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally- important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other X land use plan The site is not designated as a mineral resource recovery site in the El Segundo General Plan or any other land use plan Therefore, the project will not result in the loss of availability of a locally important resource. 11. NOISE. Would the project result in, a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or X applicable standards of other agencies During construction of the project, there may be a slight, short-term increase in noise levels affecting the site and adjacent properties, however, these noise levels are not anticipated to exceed noise levels permitted in the City's Municipal Code At the time of project development, the applicant will be required to comply with the City's noise regulations, which prohibit the generation of excessive noise levels and limit hours of construction. There are no significant noises anticipated to occur with the construction or operation of the project, therefore there are no impacts. b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundbome X vibration or groundbome noise levels? See discussion for Item 11 (a) above c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project X vicinity above levels existing without the project See discussion for Item 11 (a) above d) A substantially temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in X the project vicinity above levels existing without the project lee discussion for Item 11 (a) above For a project located within an airport land use plan, or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public X use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels? 13 Issues and Suppordag In%rmat.

Would the project i Inc red project site 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 the City, which is directly across the street from LAX, is in a 75 CNEL zone No impact from airport noise is expected 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 X noise levels? The project site is not within the vicinity of a private airstrip, therefore there is no impact. 12 POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project i a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for X example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure) During construction of the proposed project, it is anticipated that the construction workers would be acquired from the existing tabor pool already present in the area, therefore no new housing would be needed for these workers. During project occupancy, the applicant has indicated that the health club would hire 4-6 new employees to support the health club's expansion Currently there are approximately 40 existing full -time employees. Therefore, due to the small number of new workers proposed at the site there is no impact h) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the X construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Tne project site is developed with a health club and research laboratory The surrounding area is developed with office and research and development buildings, parking structures, and a hotel. Since no residential units exist within the project site or immediate vicinity, no residential units will be displaced due to the development of the project. c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction X of replacement housing elsewhere See discussion for item 12 (b) above 13. PUBLIC SERVICES Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered government facilities, need for new or physically altered government facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services. a) Fire protection? X The proposed project will add not add any square footage to the project site, it would only convert the existing office/lab use to health club Additionally, a small parking lot expansion is proposed. Development of the proposed project is not anticipated to have a significant impact on fire protection services due to the small scale of the project. The applicant will be required to obtain all necessary permits and approvals from the Fire Department prior to building permit issuance and/or occupancy Standard Fire mitigation fees will be required. 14 056 C79 Issues and Minn - t I sigpiftat j siprisant UM=t With I IMP= tittO�tlCii I b) Police protection'?

X No impacts to other public facilities are anticipated because the project will not significantly increase population or the intensity of the use of the site. Standard Fire, Police, Library and Traffic fees will be required. 14. RECREATION. a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical X deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated The proposed project will not introduce any uses that would significantly increase population, which would typically require additional recreabonal facdrbes. The use will provide the opportunity for additional recreational facilities for existing and potentially new club members b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an X adverse physical effect on the environment? The project is to expand an existing (private) health club facility within the square footage of the existing budding. Construction and occupancy of this health dub expansion is not anticipated to have a negative impact on the physical environment since the expansion will be architecturally compatible with the existing facility and surrounding properties, and the project will be required to comply with all development (landscaping, parking, etc.) standards, code requirements, conditions and mitigation measures 15. TRANSPORTATIONMRAFFIC. 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 X substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)) 15 0 57 rts u Eames and Supporting Informati.._ Stpn&amt significant stpnfiatit Impact with impact Mmptton .ie nearest arterial to the site is Douglas Street, which is identified as a Secondary Arterial in the General Plan Park Place currently has a level of service (LOS) "C" and a small strip of Rosecrans Avenue between Douglas Street and Aviation Boulevard operates at a level of service (LOS) "D ". Due to the small scale of the health club expansion within the existing budding square footage, and the fact that the Clubs peak hours are later than the surrounding area P M peak traffic hours, the project is not anticipated to generate a substantial increase in traffic volumes on the existing street systems I b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for i X designated roads or highways? The nearest Los Angeles County Congestion Management Plan (CMP) route is Sepulveda Boulevard (State Highwayl ) approximately 3/4 miles to the west of the project site. Due to the low trip generation anticipated for the project and the fact that the expansion is located within an existing building, the project will not affect a designated route on the Congestion Management Plan. c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in X traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety risks? Due to the nature of the proposed project, as an expansion of a health club within an existing building, there are no impacts to air traffic patterns. Substantially increase hazards to a design feature (e g., sharp curves or X i iangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? The preliminary site plan submitted by the applicant indicates that the proposed project is not anticipated to result in hazards to public safety or be incompatible with existing uses. There are only minor changes to existing curb cuts and surface parking lots. Safe and convenient pedestrian access between the off -site parking and the health dub will be required. A passenger drop off area is proposed in the public nght- of-way near the main entrance to the health dub on Park Place, with a mid -block crosswalk connecting to the property across the street at 2221 Park Place. This drop-off and mid -block crosswalk will require separate review, approval and permits from the Public Works Department. At the time of plan check, the proposed project including the drop-off and cross -walk, will be required to adhere to all safety regulations imposed by the City and State, including, but not limited to, Budding, Police, Public Works, Traffic and Fire. e) Result in inadequate emergency access? X The project site is served by Park Place to the north, Douglas Street to the east, Rosecrans Avenue to the south and a private driveway (Continental Way) to the west.

I I X The proposed health club expansion requires 232 additional parking spaces The existing health club facility requires 350 spaces The total required number of spaces for the health club (with the expansion) is 582 spaces The total number of on -site parking spaces proposed to be provided is 325, all in existing surface lots which would be re- striped to accommodate the additional parking spaces Moreover, 241 oft -site parking spaces (72 located at 831 Douglas Street after 5 00 PM, 39 located at 800 Apollo Street available 24 hours a day, and 146 located at 2201 Rosecrans Avenue after 5 00 PM)) will be available to the health club Thus, the total number of parking spaces available to the health dub would be 582 spaces (both on -site and off -site combined) The peak hour of parking demand for the Club is 6:00 P.M and later, which is after most of the office employees have left the 831 Douglas and 2201 Rosecrans buildings Additionally the 831 South Douglas property provides 190 parking spaces, while the required parking is 180 spaces, for an excess of 10 parking spaces on the site The 2201 Rosecrans budding is required to provide 230 parking spaces, but 371 are provided on site for an excess of 141 parking spaces A Parking Demand Study to determine the required number of parking spaces, both on -site and off -site, was provided with the previous CUP approval (EA -482, CUP 99 -1) The parking demand study concluded that 1 parking space per 150 square feet of floor area was sufficient to meet the parking demand of the health club during its peak hour. As the recreational uses proposed are similar to those approved with EA -482, the same parking ratio requirement has been utilized The proposed on and off -site parking will provide this parking ratio. Recorded Agreements will be required to ensure that the off -site parking remains available for use by the health dub Additionally Club members will be noted of the availability and location of member parking with signage and/or methods These mitigation measures will reduce the potential impacts of inadequate parking to an insignificant level. g) Conflict with adopted policies or programs supporting alternative X transportation (e g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? Due to the nature of the project, no impacts to policies or programs relating to alternative transportation are anticipated There is an existing Greenlme light rail station within one block of the site, as well as bus stops and bike parking in the near vicinity None of these facilities are proposed to be altered or will be affected by the proposed project. 16.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS For items 1 through 5, 6b,c, e, f and g, and 7 through 16, please refer to previous responses to items B and C above Please see below for responses to items 6a and 6d 6 Transportation/Circulation. Would the proposal result in- (a) Increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion? (6a response: No). The project, as proposed, would reconfigure the north parking area at goo Apollo Street to increase the total number of parking spaces in this lot from 14 spaces to 41 spaces and designate 39 of the 41 parking spaces for 24 hour use by the nearby Spectrum Club health and fitness club located at 2250 Park Place The original environmental assessment (EA -085) found that a health and sports club would 094 071 have a traffic generation rate similar to the most likely alternative use (office) and would therefore have an insignificant net effect on traffic volumes The most recent environmental assessment (EA 482) found that no potentially significant environmental impacts were anticipated due to the development or operation of the proposed project The proposed Project is not anticipated to result in increased vehicle trips or traffic congestion The Project may have a beneficial effect on peak hour traffic if more nearby office workers become club members and delay their home commute trip beyond p m peak periods (d) Insufficient parking capacity on -site or off site? (6d response: No). Designation of the 39 parking spaces for 24 -hour use by the Spectrum club will result in a loss of 12 parking spaces to the existing 800 Apollo Street building However, even with the loss of 12 parking spaces, provided parking for the 800 Apollo Street building will remain in excess of that required under Precise Plan 8- 74 For detailed information, see the table presented below titled Site Parking Summary Site Parking Summary e on ed Required Parkin (per PP 8 -74 465 465 Provided Parkin North Parking Area Standard 12 (8 5' x 18' 13 Compact 0 8 5' x 15' 26 Handicapped 2 9' x 18' 2 Subtotal North Parking Area 14 41 Remainder of site and building 485 485 I Total Provided Parking 499 526 Less 24 hour parking provided to Spectrum Club 0 39 Provided parking available to building tenants 499 487 Provided Parking in Excess of Required Parking 34 22 ' Requited parking is calculated at the previously approved ratio of 1 parking space per 400 square feet of office space (see Planting Commission Resolution No 826 and the related staff report dated 9/5/15 ' Source Building 6 (800 Apollo Stmt) Parking Layout prepared by Anthony & Langford AIA, 1214!79 6/162000 9 48 AM 800 Apollo ISAQ,doc v72 C95 COMMUNITY, ECONOMIC AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT SECOND AMENDMENT TO APPLICATION FOR JtCOND ON AL U PERMIT 61- 5w EA- 115, C.U.P.

With the approval of the CUP 85-6 the surface parking lots were re- striped for 310 spaces, including about 30% compact stalls On August 11, 1988 the Planning Commission reviewed and accepted a parking survey submitted by the Applicant in satisfaction of Condition No 4 of Resolution 2121 In accordance with the survey recommendations the 274 parking spaces required per Condition No. 1 ofResolution 2121 were increased to the maximum required parking level of 350 spaces for the 69,010 square foot (approximate) Sports Club, which included a mezzanine running track of approximately 4,000 square feet which was never built. On June 24, 1999, the Planning Commission, by Resolution No 2450 approved and adopted Environmental Assessment EA482 and Conditional Use Permit CUP 99 -1 which is a First Amendment to Conditional Use Permit 85 -6. CUP 99 -1 approved the expansion of the Sports Club via 15,000 square feet of new construction and the addition of a 3,657 square foot outdoor pool area for a total of approximately 18,657 square feet of additional facilities, as well as construction of a 125,000 square foot multi -level parking structure Renues t The purpose of this Application for Second Amendment to CUP 85 -6 (Amendment) Jr> is to,[ 101 0 77-N Eliminate construction of the new additional floor area and outdoor pool approved in the First Amendment to CUP 85 -6 and permit expansion of the existing Sports Club into the approximately 35,000 square feet of remaining space (currently occupied by TRW) in the existing 100,000 square foot building The applicant proposes to relocate the recreauonal uses approved in the First Amendment and expand the Sports Club via tenant improvements within the existing 100,000 square foot building in addition to the approximately 18,657 square feet of space approved by Resolution 2450, permit an additional 16,093 square feet (approximate) of recreational uses in the remaining 3 5, 000 square foot portion of the 100,000 square foot building for a total expansion of approximately 34,750 square feet It is anticipated that the following uses will be included in the expansion area • Childcare Center (approved under CUP 99 -1) • Children's swimming pool (approved under CUP 99 -1) • Basketball Courts (four new half -courts approved under CUP 99 -1) • Children's locker rooms • Gym area • Boxing studio • Studio • Pilates • Health & Nutrition Counseling Center (Body Dynamics) • Offices • Storage and corridors (approved under CUP 99 -1) • Any other similar commercial recreational uses approved by the Director of Planning and Building Safety ■ Identify and reaffirm approval of existing uses previously approved under CUP 85 -6 for the existing 65,000 square foot Sports Club, including: • Five (5) racquetball courts • One (1) full basketball court • A restaurant and bar containing 4,939 square feet • Exercise and ancillary facilities • Mezzanine running track To accommodate the possibility that all or a portion of the existing building could some day revert to office use, retain the original parking requirement for 233 parking spaces (one parking space per 429 square feet of office space) granted under the original building approval in 1965 ■ Eliminate construction of the approved 125,000 square foot multi -level parking structure and allow the Applicant to provide all required parking in a combination _Dc C 7 A of on -she and off -site surface parking lots and parking structures as presented in the following tables Required Parkin¢ Eaistina Building (100.000 sauare feet) Existing Spectrum Club floor area (64,375 square feet) Resolution 2121 350 parking spaces' Proposed expansion floor area (34,750 square feet @ one parking space per 150 square feet) 232 parking spaces s Total required parking spaces 582 parking spaces Parking Spaces Provided.

These locations are shown on the enclosed map and described as follows. a Westside of Douglas Street adjacent to the parking lot of 2250 Park Place. Southside of Park Place adjacent to the parking lot of 2200 Park Place, and adjacent to the parking lot of 800 Apollo Street. T It is preferred that the above sidewalks be installed adjoining the street curb and within the public nghts -of -way of Douglas Street and Park Place. 2. We recommend against the installation of the proposed mid -block crosswalk across Park Place, west of Douglas Street, due to safety reasons and the proximity of the proposed crosswalk to the Park Place/Douglas Street intersection. This intersection is also anticipated to carry increased traffic volumes after completion of the proposed Douglas Street Extension, north of Park Place. BKD dr Enclosure CC.

Based on the results of several recent health dub parking demand studies, we conclude that 232 parking spaces are required for the Spectmm Health Club expansion. This will produce a total Spectrum Health Club requiJ meet for 582 parking spaces; 350 parking spaces required per Plaiming Commission Resolution 2121 for the misting health club, plus 232 parking spaces for the health chub expansion. Spectrum Health Club Expansion Parking Demand. The attached table summarizes the results ofsevem studies ofeusti g successful health clubs. Shown are the observed parking demand ratio far each health club and the design ratio, which adds 10 percent to each parking ratio to account Sir cirarlaf m. lbe average design puking ratio is shown to be Ispace per 154 square fed (l/154 SF) and is expressed as a a`wWratio of 1 space per 150 square feet (11150 SF), which is essentially equal to or greaterthan six ofthe seven design ratios at the studied health clubs. On this basis, we project a pari®g requirement of 232 spaces for the proposed 34,750 square foot Spectrum Health Club expansion (34,750/150 — 232 spaces). It should be noted that the health and fitness chit, industry continues, to evolve in response to market demand, with di6ereot parking characteristics between dubs that serve different market segments. Clubs that enceuragebighoccupantloadmg expaieoce higberparldog demand thanthose configured fir fewer occupants. IEgh end health and fitness dubs, such as the Spectrum Health Club, are configured to reduce crowding (for example, with fewer exercise machines spread Author apart) so as to offer a better experience to club members. On this basis, we would expect to find a reduction in the 1 /150 SF parking demand ratio after the expansion is completed.

WHEREAS, Conditional Use Permit and Precise Plan applications have been received from Continental Development Corporation, requesting approval of a conversion of approximately 35,000 SF of existing office /lab space for the expansion of the Spectrum Health Club, (2200 -2250 Park Place), elimination of a portion of required landscaping for a surface parking lot expansion (800 Apollo Street), and off - site /joint -use parking (831 South Douglas Street, 800 Apollo Street and 2201 Rosecrans Avenue) The subject properties are all located in the Urban Mixed Use South (MU -S) land use designation and zone; 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 July 20, 2000 and August 8, 2000; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the application and supporting evidence with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act, State CEQA Guidelines and the City of El Segundo Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Resolution No. 3805), WHEREAS, on August 10, 2000, 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 EA No 521 and CUP No 00 -04; and, WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established: The project site is a 5.5 acre (approximate) parcel located at the southwest corner of Douglas Street and Park Place, in Continental Park, near the southeast boundary of the City It is developed with a one -story, 100,000 square foot (S.F ) concrete tilt -up building, of which approximately 65,000 S.F is used as a health club and approximately 35,000 S F was most recently used as a research and development office 2 The project is to amend Conditional Use Permit CUP No 85-6, which conditionally approved the 65,000 S F (approximate) health club use in September 1985 This is the second 1 04 amendment to CUP No. 85-6. The first amendment to CUP No. 85-6 (EA No. 482 and CUP No 99 -1) approved an approximate 19,000 S.F expansion with similar recreational facilities This project was never constructed and the proposed project replaces the project approved with EA No 482 and CUP No 99 -1 3 The zoning and General Plan land use designation on the site is Urban Mixed -Use South The zoning allows private and public recreational uses if approved with a conditional use permit The project wn, convert approximately 35,000 S F of existing R&D space to recreational uses for the Spectrum Club The Club will eventually occupy 100% of the budding 5 The conversion is anticipated to accommodate uses that are similar to the existing Spectrum Club recreational uses such as, basketball courts, gyms, support offices, health and nutrition counseling facilities, exercise studios, and similar recreational uses Additionally, the expansion will provide children's recreational facilities, such as a pool, locker rooms, childcare center and other similar recreational uses 6 Currently there are approximately 40 full -time employees at the Club and with the expansion an additional 4 -6 employees are anticipated to be hired. Off- sitefjomt -use parking on adjacent sites will accommodate peak hour parking demands Additionally, the existing surface parking lots on the project site will be re- striped to accommodate additional parking A parking ratio of 1 space /150 S.F will be provided A total of 582 parking spaces will be provided including approximately 321 on -site in surface parking lots Off- sitefjomt -use parking spaces include 72 at 831 South Douglas Street in surface parking lots (joint -use after 5:00 P.M ), 39 at 800 Apollo in a surface parking lot " (available 24 hours), and 150 at 2201 Rosecrans Avenue in a parking structure (joint use after 500 PM) 9 A passenger /valet drop -off area is proposed in the public right -of -way near the main entrance to the health club on Park Place, with stairs leading up to the Club entrance. A mid -block crosswalk is proposed across Park Place from the drop -off area to the property across the street at 2221 Park Place This project requires separate Public Works approval and permits 10 The off -site parking locations are developed with buildings similar to the health club, one to four stories in height, with both surface and structure parking facilities The uses in these buildings include office, research and development, lab and similar uses 11 Surrounding land uses include offices /light industrial uses to the north; offices and a hotel to the east, a parking structure, offices/light industrial uses to the west, and office /retail/commercial /restaurant uses and a parking structure to the south 12 A related application, Precise Plan PP No 00-01, which requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission and action by the City Council, is proposed for 800 Apollo Street, one of the off -site parking locations The PP, which is an amendment to PP No 8 -74, will allow the modification of an existing surface parking lot and landscaping, to accommodate additional off -site parking for use by the Spectrum Club 13 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 1(' 5 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 As the related precise plan amendment application requires review and action by the City Council, the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council on the Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project and the City Council will take action on the Mitigated Negative Declaration for both projects (CUP No 00 -04 and PP No 00-01) NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above facts, the testimony presented at the public hearing, and study of proposed Environmental Assessment EA No 521 and Conditional Use Permit CUP No 00 -04, the Planning Commission finds as follows CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT According to Section 20 38.010 of the ESMC, the purpose of the MU -S Zone is to provide areas where a mixture of compatible commercial, offices, research and development, retail and hotel uses can locate and develop in a mutually beneficial manner It is the intent of the MU -S Zone to have several types of uses occupy a single building, or if a project includes multiple buildings, then each building should contain a different type of use. The project site is currently developed with a 65,000 S F (approximate) health club and a 35,000 SY (approximate) office space that is currently vacant. The proposed conversion of the office portion of the building to an expansion of the health club is in accord with the objectives of this title and the purpose of the MU -S Zone since the 35,000 S.F. expansion would expand the existing health club complementing the mixed -use environment in Continental Park. As previously discussed, the surrounding land uses in the MU -S Zone are a mixture of office, light industrial, hotel, restaurant and retail uses, consistent with the MU -S Zone The Club is compatible with the other existing and allowed uses in the surrounding MU -S Zone and is consistent with the purpose of the zone Additionally, the off- sitefjoint -use parking is consistent with the zone, as it takes advantage of existing parking facilities for use by surrounding businesses with different peak parking demands, thereby eliminating the need for the further reduction of landscaping The location of the health club expansion would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare or materially injurious to properties in the vicinity since the health club already exists on the site and the expansion simply converts the balance of the existing budding to health club use. The project would provide an adequate number of parking spaces (1 space per 150 S.F - 1/150), through the use of existing off -site parking that is currently not used during the peak hours of the Club. The information from the applicant's traffic engineer shows the results of recent surveys from 7 other health clubs. The engineer concludes that the ratio of 1/150 for the expansion will be adequate. The average ratio for the 7 clubs surveyed was 11154. The traffic engineer states that the proposed ratio of 11150 not only exceeds the average, but since the Spectrum Club is a high end club, the club facilities and equipment are configured to reduce crowding which further decreases the parking demand The addition of children's facilities also reduces the parking demand as children do not drive and the club' facilities encourage family use, which reduces traffic volumes and parking demand through carpooling Although the overall square footage of landscaping will be reduced, any landscaping that is removed will be replaced with mature landscaping including box size trees Additionally, the areas in which the landscaping is being removed will still comply with zoning code requirements (Section 20 12 170) for property perimeter landscaping The building perimeter and vehicular use area landscaping is legal non - conforming The 3 10 i; project will not further reduce these landscape areas and additional trees will be added throughout the parking lots when feasible The on -site lots will also provide 6 -foot wide landscape strips throughout the surface parking lot Although this landscaping is not calculated towards meeting the required landscaping since it is within an area that is an overhang for the front of cars and is part of the required parking stall depth, it does provide a benefit and visual relief for the surface parking lot Additionally, the landscaped curb acts as a bumper guard for the front of the cars, but does not provide a place for trash and leaves to collect and litter the parking lot Conditions incorporated in the resolution will ensure that the project is developed in a safe manner, and public improvements will be required That the proposed conditional use complies with each of 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 have been complied with, and findings have been considered GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY The General Plan goals, policies and objectives which this project is consistent with are Goal LU6 and Objective LU6 -1 of the Land Use Element which support the maintenance of parks and recreational facilities; and, from the Open Space and Recreation Element Goal OS1, Objective OS1 -2 and Policies OS1 -21 and OS1 -2.5, which support and encourage the development, operation and maintenance of recreational facilities NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council adopt Environmental Assessment EA No. 521 and approve Conditional Use Permit CUP No 00 -04, subject to the City Council adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts for Environmental Assessmenf EA No 521, and subject to the following conditions.
