STAFF REPORT: December 18, 2001 Page 2
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
The Planning Commission took public testimony at three meetings during the public hearing
phase and considered written and oral comments from approximately 45 individuals and
organizations Upon completion of the hearing on December 6, 2001, the Commission voted to
recommend approval of the EIR and adoption of a Statement of Overriding Considerations
The Commission recommended approval of all the requested entitlements and made no
modifications to the Specific Plan, Development Agreement, or Conditions of Approval
prepared by staff. Commissioner Busch recommended that the park site be relocated to the
southwest comer of the property. However, the Commission as a whole took no position on
the relocation of the park site The Commission's recommendation validated the safe use of
any portion of the project site for a park
Staff has included several additional recommended modifications to the Specific Plan,
Development Agreement and Conditions of Approval since the December 6, 2001 action by
the Planning Commission for Council consideration. These reflect the continuing negotiations
on the technical details of the Development Agreement and insuring that there is consistency
between the provisions of the Development agreement and the Speck Plan. Staff has added
language to the Corporate Campus Speck Plan (see redlines in Exhibit B to Draft Ordinance)
to clarify that the 10% administrative relief allowed for certain development standards does not
apply to specific standards, such as FAR, heights, phasing, that are defined in section 5.4.2 of
the Development Agreement. Based upon the desire to make the Specific Plan as clear and
comprehensive as possible, staff has included a requirement for an Administrative Use Permit
for the sale of alcohol at hotels, and added a provision to prohibit all uses in the Specific Plan
area that are not listed as permitted or conditionally permitted uses in the Specific Plan.
The draft Development Agreement has been revised since its recommendation by the
Commission to require the developer to record a covenant to provide 100 parking spaces for
the park The Agreement also requires that a minimum of 16 acres of the project site be
purchased by the developer to consummate the agreement and it now defines an "affiliated
entity" in relationship to the developer The Agreement also includes a provision for the
granting of a deferral on the construction of 150,000 square feet of the required non - office
component of the mixed -use project to a later phase at the applicants discretion in
consideration for the sale of the park site at below market value and the providing of parking
for the park. The Agreement also now gives the City the right to five -year extension, in addition
to the developers right for such an extension beyond the initial nine -year term
One condition (No 37) has been added to the draft Conditions of Approval (Exhibit C of the
Draft Resolution) to permit the adjustment of the proposed lot lines on the Vesting Tentative
Track Map prior to recording of the final map, to reflect the ultimate location of the park site
and fire station dedication
Additionally, the proposed Purchase Agreement for the park site, which was not completed in
time for review by the Planning Commission (and does not require Planning Commission
action) is now included as an Exhibit D to the draft Development Agreement.

STAFF REPORT- December 18, 2001 Page 3
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
Project Description
Briefly, the proposed project, which has been reduced in size from its original scale, would be
a 2,175,000 gross square foot (2,000,000 net square foot) mixed -use project in the Urban
Mixed Use North (MU -N) Zone. The proposed reduced project includes approximately
1,740,000 gross square feet of offices comprising approximately 80 percent of the project. A
mix of commercial and industrial uses consisting of approximately 100,000 gross square feet
of research & development/light industrial, 65,000 gross square feet of
telecommunications /web hosting, 75,000 gross square feet of retail, 75,000 gross square feet
of restaurants, a 19,000 gross square foot health club, 87,000 gross square feet of
hotel /conference facilities, 7,000 gross square feet of medical /dental offices, and a 7,000
gross square foot day care center would comprise a minimum of approximately 20 percent of
the total building area. A Speck Plan is proposed that would set a maximum floor area ratio
of 0 99:1 A proposed subdivision would re- divide the project site into 26 separate parcels. A
nine -year Development Agreement, with a five -year extension is proposed that would include
the dedication of a one -acre portion of the site for a fire station site. The Agreement would also
include the sale of a five -acre portion of the site to the City for use as a public park The
November 15, 2001, Planning Commission Staff Report (Exhibit 4) contains a complete project
description
Reduced Project Impacts
The Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) contains an analysis of the reduction in
environmental impacts associated with the reduced project proposed by the applicant. The
original application requested a total of 2,550,000 gross square feet of building area (1 151
Floor Area Ratio) After the distribution of the Draft EIR, the applicant agreed to reduce the
size of the project by 375,000 square feet. The reduced project now proposes 2,175,000 gross
square feet (0.99:1 FAR). The Final EIR studied the reduced traffic, air quality, and traffic
noise impacts associated with the reduced project and found that the reduced project would
not eliminate the significant traffic impacts identified in the Draft EIR at the intersection of
Rosecrans Avenue /Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue /Aviation Boulevard. The
mobile source emissions from the reduced project would also still exceed the South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) significance threshold. The project would have to be
reduced by approximately 90% to meet the SCAQMD thresholds. The Final EIR identified that
project related unavoidable significant impact, eight -hour carbon monoxide (CO) exposure at
several road segments, would be remain at 12 of the 13 originally identified impacted roadway
segments due to the reduced traffic associated with the project Consequently, there would still
be unavoidable significant environmental impacts associated with the reduced project that
could not be mitigated. Approval of a Statement of Overriding Consideration would be required
for approval of the Final EIR for the reduced project
Park Location
There have been ongoing discussions between staff and the applicant regarding the location
for the proposed park-site location on the project site. The plans currently depict the five -acre
park site on the southeast comer of the property. The applicant has indicated a desire to
nI.
STAFF REPORT: December 18, 2001 Page 4
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
relocate the five acres to the southwest comer of the property. There have also been concerns
raised by the community about the location of the park site in relationship to the area covered
by the Northrop Grumman Corporation Proposition 65 and Assembly Bill (AB) 2588
notifications. Based on evidence in the record, staff believes that either site would be safe for
the use as a recreational facility. However, staff recommends that the southwest comer be
utilized instead of the other location Specifically, the southwest comer is closer to residential
neighborhoods, the Nash- Manposs MTA Green Line Station, and the Healthsouth recreational
facility along Nash Street
The possible relocation of the proposed park site from the southeast comer to the southwest
corner of the project site would necessitate revisions to the Site Plan and the proposed Vesting
Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) in order to re -align the proposed property lines to reflect the final
park location Since this location change is not depicted on the submitted VTTM, staff has
incorporated an additional condition of approval (No. 37) that was not reviewed by the
Planning Commission, to permit the modification of the Vesting Tentative Tract Map pnor to
recordation of the Final Vesting Tract Map.
Park Purchase
As was discussed in the previous staff reports, the City commissioned an independent
appraisal of the park site as part of the Development Agreement negotiations. The appraisal
valued the five -acre park site at $1,880,000 per acre. The City has negotiated a maximum
price of $1,000,000 per acre for acquiring the parkland in the Park Purchase Agreement. The
final sale price of the park site may be lower based on an additional appraisal that will be
conducted during a 180 -day feasibility period that would begin after the developer completed
the purchase the project site. The additional appraisal would be based on the use of the park
site as parkland instead of the "highest and best use" typically used in appraisals; and, the City
would pay no more than this appraised amount. In no event would the final price exceed
$1,000,000 per acre no matter the outcome of the future appraisal. Additionally, staff wanted
to make the Council aware of the cost savings to the City that would also be achieved through
the negotiated agreement for the applicant to provide permanent parking for approximately
100 parking spaces for the park in a joint use parking structure on the project site instead of on
the park site. Since the cost to develop parking is typically $7,000412,000 per space,
excluding land costs, the City will not have to spend the approximately $700,00041,200,000 to
construct permanent parking for the park either on or off the five -acre park site
Statement of Overriding Considerations
The California Environmental Quality Act and the State CEQA Guidelines provide that•
"CEQA requires the decision -maker to balance the benefits of a proposed
project against its unavoidable adverse risks in determining whether to approve
the project if the benefits of the proposed project outweigh the unavoidable
adverse environmental effects, the adverse impacts may be considered
acceptable
012
STAFF REPORT: December 18, 2001 Page 5
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
Where the decision of the public agency allows the occurrence of significant
effects which are identified in the final EIR but are not at least substantially
mitigated, the agency shall state in writing the specific reasons to support its
action based on the final EIR and /or other information in the record. This
statement may be necessary if the agency also makes a finding under Section
15091(a)(2) or (a)(3).
Project benefits are defined as those improvements or gains to the community that would not
occur without the proposed project.
As stated in the Final Environmental Impact Report, the proposed project would result in
significant unavoidable project related impacts relative to traffic at two intersections, regional
mobile air quality emissions, and eight -hour exposure microscale carbon monoxide impacts
The following substantial benefits will occur as a result of approval of the proposed project
• Creation of jobs and increased sales tax revenue
• Increased amount of commercial retail stores, restaurants, day care and other commercial
amenities for residents and employees.
• Onsite and offsite infrastructure improvements
• Full land utilization to attract a mix of neighborhood and regional serving commercial uses
to the area.
• Superior urban design with many pedestrian- friendly features, which will further strengthen
the sense of community.
• Long -term economic health of the eastside of the City.
• Development of a property that is currently vacant and unused
• Increasing and further stabilizing the City's tax base through development of new
commercial businesses
• Increasing City revenues through the generation of taxes that outweigh the City cost of
services.
• Increase in employment opportunities for the City's citizenry
• Development of a project that will increase the use of the MTA Green Line.
• Development of a project that is consistent with the elements of the General Plan
• Dedication of a one -acre site for the relocation of Fire Station No. 2.
• Contribution of one or more shuttle vans to the City for the expansion of City operated
public transit routes.
• Construction of a Bike Station adjacent to the Nash - Mariposa Green Line Station.
• Acquisition of approximately five acres of land for public recreational facilities at below
market costs
• Parking for the public park site would be provided by the applicant, thereby reducing the
City's development costs for the construction of a park site
• The project would reduce the maximum permitted floor area ratio on the property from
1.31 to 0.991.

STAFF REPORT- December 18, 2001
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
Page 6
Staff recommends that the City Council find that the approval of the El Segundo Corporate
Campus project could result in significant unavoidable impacts relative to traffic and regional
air pollutant emissions. Implementation of the traffic and air quality mitigation measures listed
in Sections the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program would substantially reduce but
not completely mitigate the significant effects Staff recommends that the Council find that
these unmitigable impacts are outweighed by the project benefits described above and
therefore acceptable. Furthermore, while some of the project alternatives would reduce
adverse impacts associated with the protect, they would not reduce the project's significant
unavoidable traffic or air quality impacts to less than significant levels

M 5 -1 The applicant shall consult with SCE during the design process of the proposed project
regarding potential energy conservation measures for the project. Examples of such
energy conservation measures include-
Design windows (i.e , tmtmg, double pane glass, etc ) to reduce thermal gain and
loss and thus cooling loads during warn weather, and heating loads during cool
weather.
• Install thermal insulation in walls and ceilmgs that exceed requirements
established by the State of California Energy Conservation Standards
• Install high- efficiency lamps for all street lights and outdoor security lighting
• Time control interior and exterior lighting. These systems should be
programmed to account for variations in seasonal daylight times
• Limit outdoor lighting while still maintaining minimum security and safety
standards
• Deciduous trees should be planted near each building to provide shade in the
summer and to allow sunlight to access the unit during the winter.
•
Built-in appliances, refrigerators, and space- conditioning equipment should
exceed the mimmum efficiency levels mandated in the California Code of
Regulations
• Finish exterior walls with light - colored materials and high - emissivity
characteristics to reduce cooling loads Finish interior walls with light- colored
materials to reflect more light and thus increase lighting efficiency
• Use natural ventilation wherever possible
• A performance check of the installed space - conditioning system should be
completed by the developerlinstaller prior to issuance of the certificate of
occupancy to ensure that energy - efficiency measures incorporated into the project
operate as designed

MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM PROCEDURES
Section 210816 of the Public Resources Code requires a Lead Agency to adopt a "reporting or
monitoring program for the changes to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to
mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment" (Mitigation Monitoring Program, Section 15097
of the CEQA Guidelines provides additional direction on mitigation monitoring or reporting) The
Community, Economic and Development Services Department for the City of El Segundo is the Lead
Agency for the El Segundo Corporate Campus Project
A Draft Environmental Impact Report has been prepared to address the potential environmental impacts
of the proposed project Where appropriate, this environmental document identified project design
features or recommended mitigation measures to avoid or to reduce potentially significant environmental
impacts of the proposed project This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) is
designed to monitor implementation of the mitigation measures identified for the El Segundo Corporate
Campus Project The MMRP is subject to review and approval by the Lead Agency as part of the
certification of the EIR and adoption of project conditions The required mitigation measures are listed
and categorized by impact area, with an accompanying identification of the following
• Monitoring Phase, the phase of the project during which the mitigation measure shall be
monitored

VI. SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
The City Council finds and declares that substantial evidence for each and every finding
made herein is contained in the FEIR, which is incorporated herein by this reference, and in the
record of proceedings in the matter To the extent applicable, each of the other findings made by
the City Council in connection with its approval of the entitlement applications listed in Section I
above are also incorporated herein by this reference

also patronize local businesses and services in the area As described in Section IV J
(Population, Housing and Employment) of the FEIR, construction of the proposed project would
result in increased employment opportunities in the construction field. Implementation of the
proposed project would provide employment for approximately 7,763 persons by project
completion in the year 2009 The proposed project does not include housing and therefore would
not include (direct) permanent population growth. No significant population, housing or
employment impacts would be created by the proposed project The proposed project would not
induce growth in an area that is not already developed with infrastructure to accommodate such
growth
The Project Site is within the highly developed urban setting and the proposed project
does not include the construction of new infrastructure that would accommodate additional
growth in an inappropriate location The proposed project can be adequately serviced by existing
and/or expansion of existing water and sewer lines and roadways Police and fire services in the
area would also adequately serve the project. Thus, the Reduced Project would not result in
significant growth inducing impacts
B Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes Construction of the proposed
project would require the use of nonrenewable resources (i.e., wood, sand, gravel, fossil fuels) for
building materials and to fuel construction vehicles and equipment Subsequent use and
maintenance of the proposed project would also require the long -term consumption of these
nonrenewable resources at reduced levels typical for such a development Long -term increases in
ambient air pollution and noise levels would also occur as a result of the proposed project The
proposed project would also add traffic to local roads, resulting in significant, unavoidable
transportation/circulation impacts at various study intersections Potential irreversible damage
from environmental accidents associated with the project are unlikely and will be avoided by
compliance with the mitigation measures identified in the FEIR as well as existing city, county,
state and federal safety.
V. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
The City Council finds that the unavoidable significant impacts of the Reduced
Project as discussed in Section III C above and the unavoidable significant cumulative impacts
discussed in Section III. E above are acceptable when balanced against the benefits of the
Reduced Project This determmation is based on the following factors and the substantial public,
social, economic, and environmental benefits flowing from the Reduced Project as identified in
the FEIR and the record of proceedings in the matter The differences between the Original
Project and the Reduced Project do not materially affect this finding

Park Alternative (Alternative E)
Description Under the Park Alternative, a five -acre park would be provided at
the southeast comer of the Project Site near the intersection of Manposa Avenue and Douglas
Street The five -acre park would include soccer and baseball fields, and possibly other
recreational facilities such as tennis courts, volleyball courts, swimming pool, and ancillary
buildings and structures (e.g restrooms, bleachers, snack bar, etc ) The park would include
night lighting for evening use and would include shared parking with other Project Site land uses
In addition to the five -acre park, the Park Alternative would also include the same mix of land
uses as the proposed project as well the same amount of square footage as the Original Project
Under this alternative, buildings proposed at the southeast corner of the site under the proposed
project would be moved to other areas on the site, resultmg in an increase in density in such areas
compared to the Original Project
Finding The City Council finds, pursuant to Public Resources Section
21081(a)(3), that specific economic, social or other considerations make the Park Alternative
identified in the FEIR infeasible The additional considerations are the significant additional or
more severe environmental effects set forth below Therefore, this alternative is rejected on
environmental grounds The impacts of the Park Alternative are generally comparable to the
Original Project Because the Reduced Project will have less impacts in several categories than
the Original Project, the Reduced Project will generally have less impacts in such categories than
the Park Alternative
Fact The Park Alternative is discussed at pages VI -37 - VI-45 of the DEIR
While this alternative appears to meet all of the project objectives, it would also create a number
of significant adverse environmental effects Compared to the Original Project, this alternative
would have less impacts with respect to hydrology and water quality The impacts of the Park
Alternative with respect to air quality (short - term), noise (short- term), geology and soils, cultural
resources, land use (general plan/zoning consistency), land use compatibility, hazardous
materials, and solid waste would be comparable to those of the Original Project Impacts relating
to traffic, air quality (long - term), aesthetics, population, housing and employment, police
protection, fire protection, sewer, water, natural gas and electricity would be greater than the
Original Project

Reduced Density and Alternative Land Use Mix (Alternative Dl
Description Under the Reduced Density and Alternative Land Use Mix, the size
of the proposed project would be reduced by 1,535,000 gross square feet, for a total of 1,029,200
gross square feet, which represents a 60 percent reduction The Reduced Density and Alternative
Land Use Mix reduces the commercial office space of the proposed project by 1,500,000 gross
square feet for a total of 500,000 gross square feet. The Reduced Density and Alternative Land
Use Mix also reduces the retail component by 15,000 gross square feet, but increases the
telecommunications /web hosting use by 425,000 gross square feet compared to the proposed
project With the exception of the fire station, all of the other land uses proposed by the project
(e g R &D /light industrial, restaurant, health club, medical dental, etc.) would be deleted under
the Reduced Density and Alternative Land Use Mix
Finding The City Council finds, pursuant to Public Resources Section
21081(a)(3), that specific legal, economic, social, technological or other considerations make the
Reduced Density and Alternative Land Use Alternative identified in the FEIR infeasible This
alternative would not meet the basic project objectives as fully as the Reduced Project
Fact The Reduced Density and Alternative Land Use Alternative is discussed at
pages VI -28 - VI -36 of the DEIR This alternative appears to meet some of the project objectives
with the exception of providing the following land uses R &D/light industrial, restaurant, health
club, hotel/conference, medical/dental, and day care, all of which are included in the proposed
project description As such, this alternative does not meet as fully as the Reduced Project the
objective of developing a project with a variety of uses as provided in the Urban Mixed -Use
North and Multimedia Overlay Zones In addition, this alternative may not be financially viable
for the Applicant. It would also provide fewer fiscal benefits to the City and would not generate
as significant local and regional revenues This alternative would also not meet the objective of
facilitating internal pedestrian movement to a number of places which would adhere to livable
community principles and increase the quality of life Compared to the Original Project, this
alternative would have less impacts with respect to traffic, air quality (short- term), air quality
(long - term), noise (short- term), noise (long - term), land use (general plan/zoning consistency),
population, housing and employment, hazardous materials, police protection, fire protection,
sewer, water, water and solid waste This alternative would have comparable impacts with
respect to geology and soils, cultural resources, hydrology and water quality, aesthetics and land
use compatibility This alternative would have greater impacts than the Original Project with

3 Alternative Land Use Mix (Alternative C)
Descnntion The Alternative Land Use Mix consists of the same total square
footage as the proposed project, but eliminates the R&D/light industrial and medical/dental uses
The Alternative Land Use Mix increases telecommumcatrons /web hosting uses by 220,000 gross
square feet above amount included in the proposed project, for a total of 295,000 gross square
feet In addition, the retail component of the proposed project would be reduced by 58,000 gross
square feet under the Alternative Land Use Mix Finally, the Alternative Land Use Mix reduces
the restaurant use by 52,000 gross square feet compared to the proposed project All other land
uses (e g office, health club, hotel/conference, etc ) would be the same size as the proposed
project
Finding The City Council finds, pursuant to Public Resources Section
21081(a)(3), that specific legal, economic, social, technological or other considerations make the
Alternative Land Use Mix Alternative identified in the FEIR infeasible. The additional
considerations are the significant additional or more severe environmental effects set forth below
This alternative is rejected on environmental grounds The impacts of the Alternative Land Use
Mix are generally comparable to the Original Project Because the Reduced Project will have
less impacts in several categories than the Original Project, the Reduced Project will generally
have less impacts in such categories than the Alternative Land Use Mix
Fact The Alternative Land Use Mix Alternative is discussed at pages VI -19 -
VI -27 of the DEIR. This alternative appears to meet all of the basic project objectives with the
exception of providing R &D/light industrial and medical/dental uses, and providing a nux of
uses to promote walking and decrease vehicle trips Compared to the Original Project, this
alternative would have less impacts with respect to traffic, air quality (long - term), noise (long-

Because no development would occur on the Project Site, this alternative would not fulfill any of
the basic project objectives, including the objectives to develop a project with a variety of uses as
provided in the Urban Mixed -Use North and Multimedia Overlay Zones, to result in a project
that is architecturally distinctive or of superior design, to provide parking on the Project Site, to
optimize employment opportunities within the City of El Segundo, to facilitate internal
pedestrian movement to a number of places which would adhere to livable community principles
and increase the quality of life. Compared to the Original Project, this alternative would have
less impacts with respect to traffic, air quality (short- term), air quality (long - term), noise (short-

comparable impacts with respect to land use (general plan/zonmg consistency). The No Project
Alternative would have greater impacts than the Original Project with respect to aesthetics
Reduced Density Alternative (Alternative B)
Descnption• Under the Reduced Density Alternative, the size of the proposed
project would be reduced by 731,000 gross square feet, for a total of 1,833,200 gross square feet,
which represents approximately a 30 percent reduction The Reduced Density Alternative would
include the same mix of land uses as the proposed project, including the 14,200 square -foot fire
station However, the Reduced Density Alternative reduces the office component of the
proposed project by 572,000 gross square feet for a total of 1,428,000 gross square feet Also,
the Reduced Density Alternative reduces the retail component of the proposed project by 44,000
gross square feet for a total of 109,000 gross square feet With the exception of the fire station,
all other uses would be reduced by at least 3,000 gross square feet
Finding The City Council finds, pursuant to Public Resources Section
21081(a)(3), that specific economic, legal, social, technological or other considerations make the
Reduced Density Alternative identified in the FEIR infeasible This alternative does not meet the
basic project objectives as fully as the Reduced Project
Fact The Reduced Density Alternative is discussed at pages V1 -10 - VI -18 of the

meet as fully as the Reduced Project the objectives of developing a project that is financially
viable and at the same time providing benefits to the City, generating significant local and
regional revenues through business, property and sales tax revenues, and optimizing employment
opportunities within the City, while mitigating to the extent feasible, the proposed project's

5 Utilities /Solid Waste Implementation of the proposed project in
conjunction with the Related Projects would further increase demand on landfill capacity The
total solid waste generation by the Original Project and the Related Projects would be 433,635
pounds per day Cumulative solid waste generation would represent 17 percent of the permitted
daily amount currently accepted at the Puente Hills Landfill facilities and 3 3 percent of the
permitted daily amount currently accepted at the Sunshine Canyon Landfill As with the
proposed project, the Related Projects would be required to participate in recycling programs,
thus reducing the amount of solid waste to be disposed of at the landfills described above
Source reduction and recycling programs mandated by AB 939 would also reduce cumulative
solid waste generation Although the proposed project and Related Projects would not produce
an amount of solid waste that exceeds available landfill capacity, they would contribute to a
significant adverse cumulative impact on solid waste disposal capacity caused by regional
growth The project's contribution to this significant impact would be cumulatively
considerable
F Protect Alternatives
The City Council certifies that (a) the FEIR describes a reasonable range of
alternatives to the proposed project, which could feasibly attam most of the basic objectives of
the project and would avoid or substantially lessen any significant effects of the proposed project,
and (b) the City Council evaluated the comparative merits of the alternatives and rejected them in
favor of the Reduced Project Furthermore, the City Council certifies that it has considered the
merits of the Reduced Project by studying the adequate descriptions of the alternatives that are
discussed to the FEIR and making informed comparisons
No Protect Alternative (Alternative Al
Description Under the No Project Alternative, the proposed project would not
be constructed and the Project Site would remain vacant The No Project Alternative assumes
the continuation of existing conchtions as well as development of the Related Projects
Findin e The City Council finds, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section
21081(a)(3), that specific economic, legal, social, technological or other considerations make the
No Project Alternative identified in the FEIR infeasible This alternative does not fulfill the
basic objectives of the project Because the Reduced Project generally has similar or less impacts
than the Original Project, the differences between the Reduced Project and the Original Project
do not affect this finding

280,148 daily trips Levels of CO, ROC, and NOx, the three primary mobile source pollutants,
from the proposed project individually exceed the SCAQMD thresholds Because mobile
emissions from the project individually cause the SCAQMD significance thresholds to be
exceeded for all pollutants except PM -10, it will contribute substantially to the "excess"
emissions from all cumulative growth The project's contribution to cumulative air quality
impacts is therefore cumulatively considerable
3 Noise. As discussed in Chapter VII of the FEIR, the Reduced Project plus
cumulative development would cause a significant impact (> +3dB increase) at 12 separate
roadway links. Despite the cumulatively significant increases ( +3 dB or more), cumulative
buildout noise levels along project perimeter roads, including roads adjacent to the Park Site will
continue to be in the upper 60 to very low 70 dB CNEL range. The 70 dB CNEL contour
considered acceptable for most planned project uses, including the park, will remain near 50 feet
from the roadway centerline The 75 dB CNEL contour considered normally unacceptable for
even less noise sensitive uses will remain within the right -of -way of all project area roadways
The better dispersal of areawide traffic through the two -way alternative on Nash and Douglas
will reduce, but not eliminate cumulatively significant traffic noise increases on area roadways
The project's contribution to this sigmficant cumulative impact is cumulatively considerable
4 Population. Housing and Employment Implementation of the proposed
project in conjunction with the Related Projects would further increase employment
opportunities in the City of El Segundo and surrounding areas The proposed project in
conjunction with the Related Projects would cumulatively generate approximately 50,883 new
jobs The project would incrementally contribute to regional job growth However, because job
growth is considered a beneficial effect, such job growth would not be considered a significant
cumulative impact However, the employment generated by the proposed project in conjunction
with the Related Projects would concomitantly increase the resident population in the South Bay
Cities Subregion and surrounding area and, consequently, the regional demand for housing Both
population and employment in the South Bay Cities Subregion and surrounding area are expected
to rise faster than housing between the years 2000 and 2010 This suggests that housing
availability will become increasingly tight, and the average number of residents per dwelling can
be expected to increase A review of the Related Projects confirms the projections for slow
housing growth in the region, only 8,320 new housing units are currently proposed In
comparison, approximately 50,883 jobs would be created by the same list of Related Projects
Based on the substantial disparity between projected job growth and housing construction, it is
concluded that there will be a significant cumulative impact on population growth and housing
demand, and that the project's incremental contribution will be cumulatively considerable

service/supply would be less than significant.
12 Utilities/Electncity - Implementation of the proposed project in conjunction with
the Related Projects would further increase demand for electricity service provided by SCE The
total electricity consumption by the Original Project and Related Projects within the SCE service
area would be 352,585 kilowatts per day LAX and any other Related Projects located within the
City of Los Angeles would receive electricity from the Los Angeles Department of Water and
Power ( "LADWP ") If required, mitigation measures for the related developments would also
reduce cumulative electricity consumption, as would compliance with Title 24 of the California
Administrative Code Cumulative impacts to electricity service would be less than significant
E Cumulative Impacts That Cannot Be Mitigated to a Level of Insignificance
The City Council finds that in response to each cumulative impact identified
below, changes or alterations have been required or incorporated into the Reduced Project which
lessen the significant adverse environmental impact However, these impacts cannot be totally
avoided or reduced to a level of insignificance if the Reduced Project is implemented The
Reduced Project's contribution to these cumulative impacts would be cumulatively considerable
under CEQA All of the remaining unavoidable cumulative effects identified below are
acceptable when balanced against the overriding benefits of the Reduced Project as set forth in
Section V below The alternatives to the project discussed in the FEIR have been rejected for the
reasons set forth in Section III.F below The differences between the Reduced Project and the
Original Project do not affect this finding
1 Traffic - Project traffic in conjunction with traffic from the Related
Projects would cause a number of area intersections to experience LOS E and LOS F conditions
by the year 2009 When the addition of cumulative development in the study area is taken into
consideration, twelve additional intersections would be significantly impacted if Nash Street and
Douglas Street remain as one -way configurations and thirteen additional intersections would be
significantly impacted if Nash Street and Douglas Street are modified to two -way operations
However, it is likely that the future conditions will be better than this "worst case" analysts
because it is not likely that all of Related Projects will be built or built to the intensity currently
envisioned In addition, several of the Related Projects will be conditioned to provide traffic
enhancements to mitigate their own project impacts, but none of these mitigations is included in
this analysis
2 Air Quality Implementation of the project in conjunction with the Related
Project would increase existing air pollutant levels in the South Coast Air Basin during both the
construction and operational phases The Related Projects have predicted daily trip generation of

suppression services The El Segundo Fire Department ( "ESFD ") has stated that the existing
level of staffing appears to be sufficient for the development of the proposed project and the
Related Projects in the area In addition, some of the Related Projects are not within the City of
El Segundo boundaries and would not significantly impact the ESFD As with the proposed
project, measures to minimize demand for fire service would likely be reviewed and
implemented on a case -by -case bases in an effort to reduce impacts associated with future
developments Each Related Project within the City would also have to pay the required Fire
Service Mitigation Fee. In addition, the ESFD monitors the need for fire services and addresses
personnel and equipment needs Through this process, the ability of the ESFD to accommodate
future growth and maintain acceptable levels of service would be assured Therefore, cumulative
impacts on fire services would be less than significant
9 Utilities /Sewer - Implementation of the proposed project in conjunction with the
Related Projects would further increase demand for wastewater treatment service at the JWPCP
The total wastewater generation by the Original Project and Related Projects that would be
served by the JWPCP would be 1,769,663 gpd JWPCP has sufficient sewage treatment capacity
to accommodate the sewage from the proposed project and Related Projects If required,
mitigation measures for the related developments would reduce cumulative wastewater
generation, as would City- mandated water conservation measures With the implementation of
the required mitigation measures for the project, cumulative impacts to wastewater
service/supply would be less than significant
10 Utilities/Water - Implementation of the proposed project in conjunction with the
Related Projects would further increase demand for water service provided by the West Basin
Municipal Water District ( "WBMWD ") The total water consumption by the Original Project
and Related Projects within the WBMWD service area would be 2,235,915 gpd There is
adequate future water supply to accommodate the cumulative demand for water supply As with
the proposed project, all Related Projects would be subject to the locally mandated water
conservation programs If required, mitigation measures for the related development would also
reduce cumulative water consumption Cumulative impacts to water service/supply would be
less than significant
I 1 Utilities/NaturaI Gas - Implementation of the proposed project in conjunction with
the Related Projects would further increase demand for natural gas service The total natural gas
consumption by the Ongmal Project and Related Projects would be 9,512,788 cubic feet/day
The cumulative demand for natural gas can be accommodated by existing supplies and
distribution capacity Compliance with requirement of Title 24 of the California Administrative
Code would reduce the cumulative demand for natural gas. The Related Projects are likely to
require "will serve" letters from the Gas Company as well Cumulative impacts to natural gas

urbanized nature of the project locale Therefore, no significant cumulative impacts would result
with regard to artificial light
5 Land Use - Implementation of the proposed project in conjunction with the
Related Projects would result in cumulative land use changes in this area of the City In
particular, Related Projects Nos 17, 22, 25 and 27 would result in new development in the
vicinity of the Project Site However, these Related Projects consist principally of office and
light industrial development that, in conjunction with the proposed project, would reinforce the
development of this area of the City as a concentrated center of business and employment
Because this development is envisioned and planned for in the General Plan, it would not result
in significant land use incompatibilities or substantial conflict with applicable plans and
regulations Therefore, cumulative impacts related to land use would be less than significant
6 Hazardous Materials - Potential cumulative hazardous materials impacts resulting
from the development of the Project Site and the Related Project could occur from a) the use,
storage or generation of hazardous substances, and b) the proximity of the Project Site and
Related Project Sites to existing facilities which use, store or generate hazardous materials
There area total of 23 Related Projects within a one -mile radius of the Project Site Based on the
distance between the Related Projects and the Project Site, existing regulations regarding the use,
storage, transport, and disposal of hazardous materials, laws governing underground storage
tanks, and the location of the Related Project sites, cumulative hazardous materials impacts are
considered to be less than significant
7 Public Services/Police Protection - Implementation of the proposed project in
conjunction with the Related Projects would further increase the demand for police protection
and services The El Segundo Police Department ( "ESPD ") has stated that the development of
the proposed project and the Related Projects in the area may result in the need for increased
staffing for existing facilities However, some of the Related Projects are not within the City of
El Segundo boundaries and would not significantly impact the ESPD As with the proposed
project, incorporation of measures to minimize demand for police service would likely be
reviewed and implemented on a case -by -case basis in an effort to reduce impacts associated with
future developments Each Related Project within the City would also have to pay the Police
Service Mitigation Fee In addition, the ESPD monitors the need for police service and addresses
personnel needs Through this process, the ability of the ESPD to accommodate future growth
and maintain acceptable levels of service would be assured Therefore, cumulative impacts on
police services would be less than significant
8 Public Services/Fire Protection - Implementation of the proposed project in
conjunction with the Related Projects would further increase the demand for fire protection and

As such, construction of the Related Projects is not anticipated to combine with the proposed
project to cumulatively expose people or structures to such geologic hazards as landslides and/or
unstable soils, or to increase the potential for soil erosion or the loss of topsoil Therefore, no
cumulative geological impacts are anticipated from the proposed project and the Related
Projects
2 Cultural Resources - Development of the proposed project in conjunction with the
Related Projects would result in further "infill" development in the City of El Segundo Grading
and construction of the Related Projects could result in potentially significant cumulative impacts
to cultural resources if the Related Projects sites contain significant cultural resources and such
resources are not adequately protected However, the presence of cultural resources on any of the
Related Project sites is speculative and uncertain However, the proposed project's incremental
contribution to any potential cumulative cultural resources impacts would be reduced to a less
than significant level by adequate implementation of proposed cultural resources mitigation
measures and would not be cumulatively considered.
3 Hvdroloav & Water Quality- The proposed project is not anticipated to combine
with the Related Projects to produce significant cumulative storm drainage water quality impacts
First, the proposed project is located in an urbanized area where most of the surrounding
properties are already developed The storm drainage system serving this area has been designed
to accommodate runoff from this built -out environment While the proposed project will
increase the amount of site- generated runoff compared to existing conditions, the proposed
project will most likely generate less runoff than the previous use of the property, due to a greater
proportion of landscaping Furthermore, other than Related Project No 17, the Related Projects
identified in the FEIR are not located in the immediate area of the proposed project and are not
served by the Manposa and/or Douglas Street storm drams The proposed project will be
designed to limit its drainage so as not to exceed the capacity of the local storm dram system,
including any additional drainage from Related Project No 17
4 Aesthetics - Related Projects are spread throughout the project locale and
neighboring environs. However, only Related Project No 17, which is located southerly of the
intersection of Manposa Avenue and Douglas Street, is close enough to combine with the
proposed project to produce cumulative aesthetic character and/or view impacts Given that both
the proposed project and Related Project No 17 are compatible uses for the local area, that there
are no nearby sensitive receptors that would be disturbed by the two projects, and that no
significant scenic resources would be affected, the cumulative effect would be less than
significant Development of the project in conjunction with the Related Projects would
cumulatively contribute to night sky illumination impacts in the area, however, additional light
sources associated with the Related Projects would not be out of character with the highly

(b) Microscate Air Quality Impacts - The increase in traffic around the project
area may create localized violations of ambient health standards The proposed project of itself
will not cause any localized CO levels to be high enough to cause one -hour CO standards to be
exceeded The maximum "with project' CO levels are all less than 10 ppm above the non -local
background However, the proposed project may create localized CO exposures exceeding the
8 -hour CO standard due to a combination of greater traffic volumes and greater congestion.
Project- related CO impacts for 8 -hour exposures are thus considered individually and
cumulatively significant

D Insignificant Cumulative Impacts
The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not
expressly identify or contain substantial evidence which identifies significant adverse cumulative
environmental effects associated with the Reduced Project in conjunction with the related
projects identified in Section Ill of the DEIR (collectively, the "Related Projects ") with respect to
the areas listed below. The differences between the Reduced Project and the Original Project do
not affect this finding
1 Geology and Soils - Development of the proposed project in conjunction with the
Related Projects would result in further "mfillmg" of various land uses in the City of El Segundo
and the City of Los Angeles. Geotechmcal hazards are site - specific and there is little, if any,
cumulative relationship between development of the proposed project and the Related Projects

Air Ouahty /Operational Impacts from Mobile Emissions
Effect Emissions from vehicles traveling to and from the Project Site could
significantly impact air quality.
Fmdine. The City Council finds the following changes, alterations, or
requirements are hereby incorporated into the project which will lessen the significant
environmental effects of the project with respect to air quality effects from mobile emissions
Nevertheless, the proposed project would have significant adverse air quality impacts. The
Reduced Project would generate proportionately fewer vehicle trips which would generate less
emissions than the Original Project as set forth in Chapter VI of the FEIR Although the
Reduced Project's impacts on air quality from mobile emissions will be less than those of the
Original Project, the Reduced Project's air quality from mobile emissions would remain
significant and unavoidable
Fact
(a) Mobile Source Emissions - Emissions of ROC and NOx from mobile
sources attributed to the project will exceed SCAQMD thresholds by 2005 Levels of CO, ROC,
and NOx, the three primary mobile source pollutants, individually and cumulatively exceed the
SCAQMD thresholds by 2010 and beyond Although there is some reduction in the
project- related emissions burden from the retirement of older cars in the future traffic fleet (Year
2020 is less than Year 2010 for CO, ROC and NOx), the rate of reduction is not enough to
reduce the emissions to below the threshold of significance Therefore, regional emissions
(mobile source) impacts will be significant for all pollutants except PM -10
Because the degree of "excess" emissions substantially exceeds the strict
SCAQMD thresholds, there is little potential to mitigate the impact by "extra" transportation
control measures not already included in project design The project presumes trip reductions
from MTA transit opportunities, from mixed -use trip reduction (internal trips), and from pass -by
capture by retail uses However, air quality impacts are still considered significant and not

social, technological, or other considerations make mitigation measures nos B -9 and B -10 of the
FEIR infeasible The City Council further finds that reconfiguring major roadways such as
Sepulveda Boulevard, El Segundo Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard with reversible lanes or
grade separations would create secondary impacts to parking, access and circulation and would
require significant acquisition of right -of -way Furthermore, Sepulveda Boulevard and El
Segundo Boulevard currently have raised medians, which would provide additional barriers to
the feasibility of such improvements For these reasons, the City Council further finds, pursuant
to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a)(3), that specific economic, legal, social,
technological, or other considerations make the reconfiguring of major roadways with reversible
lanes or grade separations infeasible The City Council further finds that, pursuant to Public
Resources Code Section 21081(a)(2), the implementation of the sub - regional traffic
improvement package proposed by Applicant is beyond the scope of the proposed project in that
it would address impacts beyond those created by the proposed project and would require multi-
jurisdictional cooperation beyond the Applicant's control.
Fact The proposed project would significantly impact two intersections during
the morning peak hour only, two intersections during the evening peak hour only and two
intersections during both peak hours for a total of six intersections significantly impacted with
Nash Street and Douglas Street remaining as one -way operations The proposed project is
expected to significantly impact one mtersection during the morning peak hour only, three
intersections during the everting peak hour only and two intersections during both the morning
and evening peak hours for a total of six intersections significantly impacted with Nash Street
and Douglas Street modified to two -way operations Because the Specific Plan limits the total
number of vehicle trips generated by the project, any change in the precise mix of uses in the
project would not result in increased traffic impacts
The project's implementation of a TDM Program, connection of Maple Avenue
from Nash Street to Douglas Street, contribution of a "fair share" payment for programmed
roadway improvements and implementation of physical roadway improvement mitigation
measures reduce most significant project impacts to a less than significant levels according to
City of El Segundo impact criteria However, the proposed improvements at the intersections of
Rosecrans Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard and at Rosecrans Avenue and Aviation Boulevard
cannot be achieved' within the existing right -of -way and the additional required right -of -way to
implement the improvements is not available Therefore, the significant traffic impacts at both
intersections will remain unmitigated, even with the implementation of the following mitigation
measures
The Applicant is proposing to apply a portion of Traffic Impact Fees paid by the

Original Project. The Original Project's air quality construction and stationary source impacts
were not found to be significant, therefore, the Reduced Project's impacts are also not
significant
Fact
(a) Construction Impacts - The Project Site totals 46+ acres in ten phases over
seven years, or an average of 4.6 acres per phase As a worst -case assumption, the largest single
simultaneous development area was analyzed for a ten (10) acre disturbance area A10-acre
disturbance "footprint" would allow for the simultaneous development/overlap of two separate
project phases.
An assumed construction disturbance "footprint" of ten acres leads to a predicted
daily PM -10 emission rate of 264 pounds with the use of "standard" dust control Application of
a more enhanced dust control program would reduce PM -10 emissions during construction to
around 102 pounds per day, which is less than the SCAQMD threshold of 150 pounds per day
With the use of BACMs, daily PM -10 emission levels will be below this significance threshold
for the assumed 10 -acre disturbance area
Daily off -road equipment emissions will be at less than regionally significant
levels Additional on -road emissions will result from trucks bringing construction materials and
from construction worker commuting The on -road pollution contribution may cause the daily
NOx emissions to slightly exceed thresholds Use of low emissions tune -ups would reduce NOx
emissions to below the SCAQMD threshold of significance
(b) Operational Impacts from Stationary Sources - Small additional amounts
of pollutants will be generated from energy consumption (off -site power plants and on -site
natural gas combustion for space heating, hot water, food services, etc.) A co- generation facility
may also be included in the proposed project The facility emissions would offset energy
consumption emissions that would be generated at other sources (power plants, heaters, etc ), and
may not be built at this site unless the SCAQMD issues permits after appropriate review to
assure that local air quality impacts would be below SCAQMD thresholds

Reduced Project which will mitigate, avoid, or substantially lessen the significant environmental
effects of the project with respect to solid waste The effects of the Reduced Project with respect
to solid waste are expected to be less than those of the Original Project The minimal increase in
solid waste from the Park Site would be more than offset by the decrease in solid waste generated
from the overall reduction in density of all other uses The Original Project's solid waste impacts

waste per day Because all proposed uses would generate solid waste at essentially the same rate
on a per square foot basis (except for the park which generates less), the amount of solid waste
generated by the proposed project would not significantly change if the precise mix of uses
changes While implementation of the proposed project would result in an increase in solid

system to accommodate the proposed project, irrespective of the precise mix of uses Moreover,
the trip limitations of the Specific Plan will effectively limit water consumption, in that those
uses which consume more water (i.e., restaurants) also generate more traps In order to comply
with the trip restriction, any increase in restaurant uses would require a corresponding decrease in
other uses- This decrease would also offset the increased water consumption from the added
restaurants On -site water infrastructure improvements will be designed to accommodate the
peak demands of the proposed project. The increase in demand for water with implementation of
the proposed project would not require alterations to existing off -site water facilities that serve
the Project Site Therefore, water impacts associated with the proposed project would be less
than significant

finds that the following changes, alterations, or requirements are hereby incorporated into the
Reduced Project which will mitigate, avoid, or substantially lessen the significant environmental
effects of the project with respect to sewers Any increase in wastewater generated from the Park
Site would be offset from the reduction in wastewater from the reduction in density of all other
uses The effects of the Reduced Project with respect to sewers are expected to be similar to the

Fact- Development of the proposed project would increase wastewater
generation as a result of new restaurant, retail, office, and hotel uses Upon full development, an
estimated 691,545 gallons per day of wastewater would be generated by the Original Project
The actual amount could vary slightly depending on the precise mix of uses According to the
Los Angeles County Sanitation District, the existing trunk line is adequate to serve the proposed
project irrespective of the use mix, unless the entire project was restaurant uses However, such a
project could never be built because it would generate trips in excess of the maximum permitted

demand of the new project The Original Project's wastewater generation would represent
approximately 0.21 percent of the daily permitted effluent treated at the JWPCP and 0.18 percent

the Reduced Project's fire protection impacts are also not significant
Fact The adequacy of fire protection services for a given area is based on site
access to and within the proposed project Site, required fire -flow, access to hydrants, response
distance from existing fire stations, and the El Segundo Fire Department's (ESFD) ,judgment of
the area's needs. Fire access roadways would be provided throughout the Project Site, The
ESFD has stated that the proposed project will not likely require additional firefighters or
equipment to respond to emergencies, and that the existing fire stations can adequately
accommodate the project's demands for fire and emergency medical service The possible
relocation of Fire Station No 2 to the Project Site would further reduce the less than significant
fire protection impacts of the proposed project
The proposed project will require the installation of public fire mains, fire
hydrants, fire department access roads, and private mams and private fire hydrants on all private
streets The water pressure in the project area is sufficient to meet the fire flow requirements of
the proposed project All of the proposed project structures would meet ESFD construction

Project's police protection impacts are also not significant
Fact Development of the proposed project would result in an increase in the
number of employees and visitors to the Project Site and surrounding area, thereby generating an
increase in the level of service calls from the Project Site Responses to thefts, vehicle
burglaries, damage to vehicles, traffic- related incidents, and crimes against persons are
anticipated to result from an increase in traffic on adjacent streets and artenals and an increase in
transient occupancy. Impacts to police protection services relate to four key areas, (1) site
visibility, (2) emergency access, (3) on -site activities, (4) and interference with emergency
response times

assessment analyzing peak emissions from the NGC facility in 1991 This health risk assessment
concluded that a receptor breathing the maximum concentration of peak emissions 24 hours per
day over a 70 -year lifetime would have an increased cancer risk by a maximum of 61 chances in
1,000,000 The "cancer risk from toxic air pollution map" shows the peak emissions receptor at
a location some distance from the Project Site on the far (eastern) side of the NGC facility A
portion of the Project Site is located along the outside contour of the map area, where, due to the
dispersion of emissions, the increased conservative cancer risk would be, at most, 10 in
1,000,000 Because the NGC health risk assessment showed an increased cancer risk of more
than 25 in 1,000,000, the SCAQMD, the local agency implementing AB 2588, required NGC to
implement risk reduction measures. According to the SCAQMD, the measures reduced the
increased cancer risk at the peak receptor from sixty -one in one million to 7.6 in 1,000,000. The
health risks at the outside contour were also proportionately reduced. As a result, if the NGC
facility were proposing this amount of emissions today as a new facility, it would not be subject
to the AB 2588 notification requirements at all Moreover, NGC will not be able to increase
toxic emissions in the future without SCAQMD approval after appropriate review taking into
account the presence of the Park Site in the vicinity
The SCAQMD's health risk assessment criteria assumed a conservative 24 -hour a
day, seven days a week exposure for 70 years Maximum use of the Park Site, and the exposure
to the already reduced level of NGC emissions, would be limited to a few hours per week over a
much shorter time span. Thus, park users would be exposed to significantly lower levels of
emissions than NGC's employees, who are present during normal work hours nearer the source
Further, this limited exposure would generally not occur during the peak emission period from
the NGC facility, that is, park usage will occur primarily during evenings and weekends
Therefore, any increased cancer risks on the park site from exposure to emissions from the NGC
facility would be negligible The health risk associated with people using the Park Site would be
less than office tenants because an assessment of health risks to office workers would take into
account the fact that workers are potentially exposed to toxic emissions 40 hours per week
Since people would be at the park for only a few hours a week, their risk factors would even be
less than indicated in the existing NGC health risk assessment and less than an assessment based
on office worker exposure.

impacts to emergency response and evacuation are anticipated as a result of implementation of
the proposed project
(1) Emissions from the NGC Facility - NGC has issued a Proposition 65
warning for chromium VL Proposition 65 is primarily a disclosure statute which requires certain
persons to provide warnings before exposing persons to chemicals known to the State to cause
cancer or reproductive harm A warning is required unless the person causing the exposure can
demonstrate that the exposure results in no sigmficant risk assuming lifetime exposure NGC
provided a warning for those persons located within the isopleth depicted on the facility map
However, the fact that a warning is given does not mean that the person would actually be
exposed to any chromium VI as a result of NGC's operations, much less harmful levels The
Proposition 65 regulations require numerous conservative assumptions regarding exposure to
determine whether a warning is required For environmental exposures (the exposure at issue),
Proposition 65 requires the party to assume lifetime exposure in a residential setting Many
entities subject to Proposition 65 provide warnings in an abundance of caution without even
determining whether the exposure results in a significant risk As a result, these warnings are
prevalent in gas stations, supermarkets and even the office buildings to the north of the Project
Site Some City facilities, including parks, have posted Proposition 65 notices
Due to the scale of the NGC map, it is uncertain whether the Park Site is located
within the NGC Proposition 65 isopleth for chromium VI shown on the map If the Park Site is
located outside the isopleth, any potential exposure to chromium VI, if any, would be
insigmficant Even if the Park Site is located within the chromium VI isopleth, there would be
no significant health risks for park users from chromium VI from NCG's facility The exposure
scenario assumed for the Proposition 65 isopleth is based upon a conservative residential
exposure scenario with the receptor breathing peak emissions 24 hours per day for a 70 -year
lifetime The likely exposure scenario for park use is significantly less than the conservative
residential exposure assumed under Proposition 65 Even taking into account the possibility of
increased breathing rates during physical activity, the potential exposure to chromium VI
emissions, if any, and the resulting risks are insignificant Furthermore, there is no substantial
evidence that children at the Park Site could face health risks from chromium VI due to the
ingestion or dermal contact Hexavalent chromium compounds pose no significant risk of cancer
by the route of ingestion Cal Code Regs tit 22, § 12707(b)
NGC is also subject to Assembly Bill 2588 notification requirements related to the
use of toxic chemicals Portions of the Project Site are within areas subject to the NGC AB 2588

when contamination has been investigated and/or remediated in accordance with currently
accepted regulatory standards Based on the current regulatory status, no further action or
investigation is recommended regarding the regulatory review Therefore, there would be no
significant impacts related to Project Site contamination
(i) Adjacent Properties - The FEIR identified no adjacent properties that are
anticipated to have a negative impact on the environmental integrity of the Project Site No
further action or investigation is recommended regarding the adjacent properties Therefore,
hazardous materials impacts related to adjacent properties would be less than significant
The following lists were reviewed for sites within the vicinity of the proposed
project to determine their potential to contaminate the Project Site, NPL, RCRA -TSD, RCRA-
CORRACTS, SHWS, CERCLIS, NFRAP, SWF, LUST, UST, RCRIS - Generators and ERNS
There are sites on this list within the vicinity of the project However, these sites do not pose a
significant contamination risk to the Project Site, because groundwater flows in a northeast
direction for the listed sites (e.g , the NGC site), or listed sites have already been remediated
(e g, Hilton Garden Inn site), or are designated as "low priority sites " In addition, the proposed
project will not use groundwater as a potable water source
0) Operational Impacts of the Proposed Project - The proposed project is not
anticipated to result in a release of hazardous materials into the environment With the exception
of the potential electrical substation or co- generation facility that may be included in the
proposed project, the project would utilize limited amounts of common hazardous materials
comparable to the surrounding commercial land uses, due to the similarity in size of the
structures and the need for such materials The proposed land uses are not expected to use or
store explosives in association with the construction or operations of the facilities Based on the
amount stored, nature of the packaging, materials involved, and the proposed project's required
compliance with apphcable regulations, the risk of upset and accidental conditions involving the
release of hazardous materials into the environment is considered to be less than significant
(k) Emergency Response and Evacuation - The proposed project will result in
increased traffic levels to the surrounding streets and highways. The project will utilize existing
streets in addition to creating new access locations around the entire Project Site The City of El
Segundo Area Plan designates Sepulveda Boulevard and Vista Del Mar Boulevard as primary
evacuation routes during large -scale emergencies such as earthquakes and major hazardous
materials release While the project would add vehicle trips to these roadways, they are not in

Reduced Project which will mitigate, avoid, or substantially lessen the significant environmental
effects of the project with respect to hazardous materials The effects of the Reduced Project
with respect to hazardous materials are expected to be similar to those of the Original Project
Although the Reduced Project will include a park, there substantial evidence in the record,
including expert testimony and studies, that the users of the Park Site would not be exposed to
significant health hazards due to soils contamination or air emissions, including emissions from
the NGC facility The Original Project's hazardous materials impacts were not found to be
sigmficant; therefore, the Reduced Project's hazardous materials impacts are also not significant
Fact
(a) Historical Review - The Project Site was historically occupied by
Rockwell North American Aircraft An estimated 31 underground tanks and/or underground
concrete tanks were used by Rockwell in the operation of the plant Rockwell began removing
USTs and closing pits in the late 1980s under the supervision of the Los Angeles County
Department of Public Works ( "LACDPW ") In the early 1990s, a site wide investigation was
conducted to determine if the past use of the Project Site had impacted the Project Site
Remedial activities at this time consisted of excavating contaminated soil, as required by the
LACDPW Groundwater and soil contaminated with VOCs and petroleum hydrocarbons were
discovered in 1994 at the southwest comer of the Project Site Although much of the impacted
soil was excavated from the Project Site, VOC contaminated soil and groundwater was
ultimately left in place A subsequent risk assessment based on conservative residential exposure
scenarios (i e , 24 hours per day, 7 days per week over a 70 -year lifetime) determined that the
contamination left in place did not present a significant threat to human health or the
environment The LARWQCB, Califorma Department of Toxic Substance Control ( "DTSC ")
and the LACDPW have all been involved with remedial activities at the Project Site These
agencies have determined that the Project Site is safe to use for any type of development,
including recreational facilities None of the agencies have requirements for further investigation

To the extent that employment forecasts are used by SCAG to implement the
regions' growth policies, under - estimates of future employment in the City of El Segundo and
the South Bay Cities Subregion may hinder planning for the timing, financing, and location of
public facilities, utility systems, and transportation systems However, the Regional
Comprehensive Plan and Guide (including the Growth Management chapter) is to be periodically
reviewed, and those sections that are found to be out of date are to be updated as needed
Furthermore, SCAG is currently developing a special program for monitoring the progress of the
region With the implementation of this monitoring and updating program, such discrepancies
between forecasts and actual changes on the ground will be rectified. Therefore, while the
Original Project would account for a mayor portion of SCAG's current employment forecasts for
the City of El Segundo and the South Bay Cities Subregion, the self - correcting nature of the
forecasts will ensure that ongoing infrastructure planning efforts will remain consistent with
regional growth trends
The proposed project land uses are consistent with both the City of El Segundo
General Plan use designation and zoning for the Project Site Based upon this consistency, it
may be assumed that the project has been accounted for in the City's long range planning
Furthermore, because SCAG's regional planning incorporates the City of El Segundo's General
Plan into its growth forecasts, the project would be deemed consistent with SCAG's forecasts
and growth policies Therefore, no significant impacts to the City of El Segundo (or to SCAG's
regional planning) due to the project's employment growth are anticipated
(b) Housing /Population - Many of the Original Project's estimated 7,763 new
employees will be drawn from the local labor force and student population readily available in
the City of El Segundo and surrounding communities The housing stock within the City of El
Segundo cannot accommodate the potential housing demand created by the proposed project
However, the housing market for the project's employees is greater than the political boundaries
of the City of El Segundo This would include most of the South Bay Cities Subregion (located
to the south and southeast of the Project Site) plus additional communities to the north and east
(including the Cities of Inglewood, Culver City, parts of Los Angeles, and Santa Monica). Thus,
it is expected that the maximum (worst -case) housing demand generated by the Original Project
could be accommodated by the existing housing stock within and beyond the South Bay Cities
Subregion without generating demand for new housing construction
Because no housing exists on the Project Site, the project will not displace any
existing population The proposed project will not have a significant impact on population,
employment and housing. Mitigation measures are not required

would not represent a substantial conflict with the applicable provisions of the Zoning Code and
would not be a significant impact The proposed uses are also consistent with those permitted by
the MMO Distnct However, the Specific Plan does not allow development on the project to
include the additional 15 million square feet of entertainment uses permitted under the MMO
District
Population. Housing and Employment
Effect The project could have potentially significant incremental impacts on
population, housing and employment due to the creation of new jobs.
Fmdine Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a), the City Council
finds that the FEIR and the record of proceeding do not expressly identify or contain substantial
evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Reduced Project with respect to
population, housing and employment The effects of the Reduced Project with respect to
population, housing and employment are expected to be less than those of the Original Project
because the Reduced Project would create proportionately fewer new jobs The Ongmal
Project's population, housing and employment impacts were not found to be significant,
therefore, the Reduced Project's population, housing and employment impacts are also not
significant
Fact.
(a) Employment - Implementation of the Original Project would provide
employment for approximately 7,763 persons by project completion in the year 2009 The actual
number of jobs could vary based on the precise use mix, but would not significantly exceed
7,763 because the more job- intensive uses would generate more vehicle trips, and total trips
which can be generated by the proposed project are fixed tinder the Specific Plan The Original
Project's estimated employee generation would account for approximately 89 4 percent of
SCAG's forecasted total employment growth for the City of El Segundo during this period. In
terms of SCAG's employment forecast for the South Bay Cities Subregion, the Original Project's
projected employment would account for 19.3 percent of the forecasted growth for the Subregion

Findin Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a), the City Council
finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not expressly identify or contain substantial
evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Reduced Project with respect to land
use The Reduced Project's land use effects are expected to be similar to those of the Original
Project The inclusion of the proposed park does not effect this finding because the Park Site
would serve employees of the proposed project and the surrounding properties as well as the
residents of the City, consistent with goals and objectives of the General Plan Furthermore, as
set forth in Finding No 9 below, the users of the Park Site would not face health risks due to
emissions from the adjacent Northrop Grumman Corporation ( "NGC ") facility so the proposed
park use would not be mcompatible with surrounding land uses The Original Project's impacts
were not found to be significant, therefore, the Reduced Project's land use impacts are also not
significant
Fact
(a) Land Use Compatibility - The proposed project would include land uses
that are fully compatible with surrounding commercial and industrial uses The office, research
and development, hotel, and telecommumcations(web hosting uses included in the proposed
project, along with supporting retail, restaurant and service uses, would enhance the development
of this area of the City as a center of business and employment, resulting from the regional access
provided by the Century Freeway and in proximity to LAX The proposed project would result
in re -use of a former industrial property which has been vacant for nearly 10 years No
significant impacts related to land use compatibility would result from implementation of the
proposed project.
(b) Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies - As more fully set forth in
reports and adjoining resolutions, the proposed project would generally be consistent with all
applicable policies of the El Segundo General Plan and the Southern California Association of
Government's Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide Moreover, the existing General Plan,
including the Circulation Element, adequately reflect local conditions, and is otherwise legally
adequate, and the proposed project can and should be considered under the current General Plan
Therefore, the proposed project would not result in any sigmficant land use impacts related to
consistency with adopted plans and polices
(c) Zoning Code - The uses included within the proposed project would be
pemutted under the MU -N Zone that is applicable to the proposed project Site under the Zoning

There are no significant public scenic features on the Project Site that could be
affected by the proposed project Further, there are no viewpoints on the Project Site from which
off -site significant scenic features might be viewed Overall, development of the proposed
project would not result in the loss of any important scenic view from within the Project Site
project impacts related to these views would be less than significant
(c) Views of and through the Project Site - Some south - facing offices in the
high -rise buildings along Imperil highway will have commanding views of and over the
proposedproject. Similarly, nearbypnvate businesses located on the east side of Douglas Street,
the west side of Nash Street, and the south side of Manposa Avenue will also have views of the
new development While some existing views that look across the property will be eliminated,
these view lines do not encompass any substantial visual resources. There will be no loss of
scenic vistas or views of significant scenic features from outside the Project Site Because the
changes brought about by the project pnmanly affect private views, rather than public, and
because the project is considered an enhancement to the aesthetic character of the area, impacts
to these views are considered less than significant
(d) Lighting - As seen from nearby streets, and local commercial and
industrial businesses, the lighting associated with the proposed project will transform the site's
current dark nighttime environment to a level comparable to that found in adjoining areas Due
to the substantial ambient level of night lighting surrounding the Project Site and to the absence
of nearby sensitive nighttime lighting receptors, nighttime lighting impacts would be less than
significant
Mitigation Measures-
H -1 To prevent new on -site sources of illumination from spilling onto adjacent
streets and properties, all exterior lighting associated with the project
should be directed onto the site and shielded from off -site locations
H -2 Every effort should be made to prevent new lighting sources from being
directed toward the sky to munmize atmospheric light pollution

6 Aesthetics
Effect Development of the Project Site will change the existing visual character
of the site and will introduce new sources of nighttime lighting
Ftndme Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a), the City Council
finds that the following changes, alterations, or requirements are hereby incorporated into the
Reduced Project which will rmtigate, avoid, or substantially lessen the significant environmental
effects of the project with respect to aesthetics The effects of the Reduced Project with respect
to long -term visual character impacts and views are expected to be similar to those of the
Original Project and insignificant The effects of the Reduced Project with respect to lighting are
expected to be slightly greater than those of the Original Project, due to the nighttime
illumination of the Park Site However, nighttime lighting impacts of the Reduced Project will
not be significant due to the substantial ambient level of night lighting surrounding the Project
Site and to the absence of nearby receptors sensitive to nighttime fighting
Fact
(a) Long -Term Visual Character Impacts - The aesthetic nature of the Project
Site is characterized by weedy vegetation, temporary chain link fencing in a poor state of repair,
and litter accumulated along the sidewalk at the case of the fencing The proposed project would
replace those unsightly features with an attractively designed and landscaped mixed -use campus
of buildings The proposed project would be architecturally compatible with surrounding land
uses, which generally exhibit a modern, utilitarian construction style, although there is no
common architectural theme or style in the community The project would also be compatible
with the scale of development in the surrounding area, which ranges from small -scale businesses
to major manufacturing facilities and high -rise office buildings Overall, the proposed project
would enhance the visual character of the area No significant aesthetic impacts would result
from the proposed project
(b) Views from the Project Site - project construction will replace the
unlimited views across the Project Site with short distance views of new on -site structures and
landscaping View corridors between the clusters of new structures will maintain some views of
the major features of interest in the area, such as the MTA Green Line, the high -rise office
buildings along Imperial Highway, and to a lesser extent the Century Freeway Because the new
development is expected to enhance the aesthetic character of the area, no view impact is
anticipated

EXHIBIT "A"
Manposa Avenue Street flows will only occur after available storm drain capacity and on -site
retention are exhausted The drainage system will be designed to City of El Segundo and County
of Los Angeles standards
Due to an increase in impervious area (approximately 55 percent of the
Project Site), the proposed project will result in increased peak runoff flows to 71 cfs during the
10 -year storm event This represents an increase of 22 cfs over the existing conditions runoff
rate of 49 efs. Ultimately, all runoff from the Project Site and adjacent tributary area collects at
the intersection of Douglas Street and Manposa Avenue At this point, two storm dram lines,
LACDPW Project No 2694 and LACRD Project No 4806 converge and continue southerly in
Douglas Street
The tnbutary "Q" (i e, flow) in Douglas Street is no more than 11.5 cfs
Therefore, no mitigation is needed for these areas (i.e , Sub - Basins 72D, 73E and `/2 of 74F) On
an area proration basis, the project's share of capacity in the storm dram LACRD Project No
4806 is 26 5 cfs Of the 26.5 cfs, approximately 9.5 cfs is contributed from the uncontrolled
perimeter area (Sub -Basins 76C, 75B, and %2 of 74F) at a time of peak contribution by the main
Project Site Therefore, of the 71 cfs generated from the "controlled" area, only 17 cfs can be
allowed into the stone dram system, and the remaining flows must be detained on -site The
volume of runoff above 17 cfs is 1.4 acre -feet This is considered to be a potentially significant
surface hydrology impact that can be reduced to less than significant level via implementation of
the mitigation measures listed below
(b) Water Quality - The proposed project has the potential to cause
short-term construction- related storm water pollution due to handling, storage and disposal of
construction materials, earth moving activities, and maintenance and operation of equipment A
General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit must be obtained from the SWRCB prior to
the start of construction. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES)
requires that a Notice of Intent (NOI) be filed with the State Water Resources Control Board
( SWRCB). By filing an NOI, the developer agrees to conditions outfitted in the General Permit
The SWPPP identifies which structural and nonstructural Best Management Practices (BMPs)
will be implemented, such as sandbag barriers, temporary desilting basins, near mlets, gravel
driveways, dust controls, employee training, and general good housekeeping practices. With the
implementation of the BMPs, short-term water quality impacts would be less than significant.
The proposed project will provide structural or treatment control BMPs
designed to mitigate long -term operational storm water runoff impacts While some infiltration
through landscape areas will occur, the proposed project will primarily rely on the
implementation of Treatment Control BMPs. As required by the Standard Urban Storm Water

Hydrology and Water Quality/Water OualiM Drainage and Runoff
Effect Development of the proposed project could result in potentially
significant impacts with respect to hydrology and water quality, including violating water quality
standards, substantially altering existing drainage patterns, creating or contributing runoff which
would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems, and otherwise
substantially degrading water quality
Findin g Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a), the City Council
finds that the following changes, alterations, or requirements are hereby incorporated into the
Reduced Project which will mitigate, avoid, or substantially lessen the significant environmental
effects of the project with respect to hydrology and water quality The effects of the Reduced
Project with respect to hydrology and water quality are expected to be less than those of the
Original Project because the Reduced Project will have less impervious area due to the use of
five acres of the Project Site as a park/soccer field. The Original Project's hydrology and water
quality impacts were not found to be significant, therefore, the Reduced Project's hydrology and
water quality impacts are also not significant
Fact- (a) Hydrology - The proposed on -site storm drainage system will
connect directly to the Manposa Street storm drain via an existing 30 -inch reinforced concrete
pipe (RCP) storm dram stub into the Project Site (located on the west side of the proposed
Manposa Street entrance). Peak flows discharged directly into the Manposa Street storm drain
will be restricted to the dram's available capacity This will be achieved by limiting the size of
the connection to the existing storm dram Flows above the capacity of the storm drain will be
partially retained on -site (via an on -site retention basm) and partially allowed to drain into

effects of the project with respect to cultural resources The effects of the Reduced Project with
respect to cultural resources are expected to be similar to those of the Original Project The
Original Project's impacts on cultural resources were not found to be significant, therefore, the

Fact The Project Site was occupied by Rockwell International between 1953 and
1990 Demolition activities were conducted in 1992 to remove all buildings, infrastructure and
underground storage tanks At that time, no significant historical resources were identified The
City of El Segundo General Plan EIR does not designate the Project Site as a sensitive
archaeological area. There have been no known archeological resources discovered in the
Project vicinity There are also no known human remains within the Project Site or the project
vicinity Further, no unique geologic features exist within the Project Site Therefore, no
cultural resources or human remains are anticipated to be encountered during gradmg and

(k) Grading - It is anticipated that conventional earth - moving equipment will
be used in excavating any existing fill soils and the natural eolian sand dune deposits at the site
If any fill is to be placed during grading, it would be placed in accordance with the regulations of
the appropriate governmental agencies It is expected that most of the excavated alluvial
materials would be suitable for use at other construction projects Any existing fill materials,
less any oversized materials or organic debris, would also be suitable for use as compacted fill
Grading is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the proposed project or the surrounding
developments
(1) Stability OfPermanenr Slopes And Temporary Evacuations - The Project
Site is underlain by Pleistocene age sediments that are generally massive or crudely stratified
These materials do not typically contain planes of weakness, such as bedding or joints, that could
affect slope stability It is anticipated that permanent graded cut or fill slopes at the site at
gradients of 2 1 (horizontal to vertical) would be grossly stable. However, comprehensive
geotechnical investigation will assure the stability of the proposed slopes during the proposed
development as required by the City of El Segundo
Overall, there are no geotechnical or seismic impacts that would not be reduced to
a less than significant level by compliance with current building codes, the mitigation measures,
and the recommendations presented in the comprehensive geotechnical report for the proposed
project The Project Site is considered suitable for the proposed project from a geotechnical and

nearby slopes precludes slope stability hazards Due to the reasons previously described, there
are no significant impacts related to slope stability The proposed development will not result in
or expose people to significant impacts related to slope stability
(e) Tsunamis, Inundation, and Seiches - The Project Site is approximately 2 4
miles from the Pacific Ocean at elevations of about 98 to 100 feet above mean sea level (U S
Geological Survey datum) Therefore, there are no significant impacts related to tsunarms,
inundation, or seiches at the Project Site The proposed development will not result in or expose
people to significant impacts related to tsunamis, inundation, and seiches
(f) Flooding - The Project Site is locate in an area of minimal flooding (Zone
C) as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Association Therefore, there are no
significant impacts related to flooding at this site. The proposed development will not result in
or expose people to significant impacts related to flooding.
(g) Subsidence - There are no significant impacts related to subsidence at the
Project Site The proposed development will not result in or expose people to significant impacts
related to subsidence.
(h) Volcanic Hazards - Due to the distance between the Project Site and
known volcanic area, there are no significant impacts related to volcanic hazards at the site The
proposed development will not result in or expose people to significant impacts related to
volcanic hazards
(i) Landform Alteration - There are no umque geologic features in the vicinity
of the Project Site Therefore, no unique geologic features will be modified or destroyed as a
result of the proposed development
0) Foundations - Based on the results of previous geotechnical investigations
performed on adjacent properties, the natural soils in the general site vicinity consist primarily of
dense silty sand and poorly graded sand with some gravel Locally, clay sand layers are present
Silty clay and sandy clay layers are present in the upper 15 feet of the existing ground surface
The upper clay -nch materials encountered on the adjacent sites are only moderately firm and
would become weaker when wet. However, below depths of approximately 3 to 5 feet, the
natural soils underlying the site are firm Also, the upper clay soils are expansive and would
shrink and swell with changes in moisture content Corrosion studies performed as part of
previous investigations on adjacent properties indicate that the soils are moderately to severely
corrosive to ferrous metals and aggressive to copper The soils were found to be non - detrimental

Geology and Soils /Surface Fault Rupture. Seismicity and Ground Shaking, Etc
Effect The proposed project could potentially result in significant impacts
relating to geology and soils. The Project Site is located in the vicinity of the Newport-
Inglewood Fault Zone and the Elysian Thrust Fault Zone While the Project Site is located in a
zone of the City that is considered to have a low potential for liquefaction, there is potential that
the proposed project could be subject to ground failure or subsidence. The grading phase of the
proposed project may result in minimal erosion, particularly during runoff conditions The
proposed project may also expose people to expansive soils
Findm Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a), the City Council
finds that the following changes, alterations, or requirements are hereby incorporated into the
Reduced Project which will mmgate, avoid, or substantially lessen the significant environmental
effects of the project with respect to geology and soils impacts The effects of the Reduced
Project with respect to geology and soils are expected to be similar to those of the Original
Project The Original Project's geology and soils impacts were not found to be significant,
therefore, the Reduced Project's geology and soils impacts are also not significant
Fact
(a) Surface Fault Rapture - The potential for surface fault rupture at the
Project Site is low Therefore, the proposed development will not expose people to significant
impacts related to surface fault rupture.
(b) Seismicity and Ground Shaking - The Project Site is not within an area
identified by the California avision of Mines and Geology (1999) as having a potential for
seismic slope instability (slope instability resulting from ground shaking) However, the location
of the site relative to known active or potentially active faults indicates the site could be
subjected to significant ground shaking
(c) Liquefaction and Seismic Settlement - The potential for liquefaction at the
Project Site is low Liquefaction will not be a significant impact at the site Therefore, the
proposed development will not result in or expose people to significant impacts related to
seismic settlement and differential compaction

Original Project's operational noise impacts were not found to be significant, therefore, the
Reduced Project's operational noise impacts are also not significant
Fact
(a) Mobile Source Noise - Along the more heavily traveled roadways in the
project vicinity, roadway noise from existing and future growth traffic volumes creates an
elevated background noise level that will be little affected by the additional project traffic
increment Even along lightly traveled roadways with lower background levels, project traffic
does not create a significant noise impact Most project - related traffic noise impacts are clearly
well below the normally accepted significance threshold and also well below the level considered
even marginally perceptible. The only traffic link that would approach the significance threshold
would be along Douglas Street from Imperial Highway to Atwood Way, where there would be an
increase of 2 9 dB CNEL. Although noise levels on roadway links adjacent to the Park Site will
increase from Project traffic to be about 60dB CNEL range, such levels are well within the
acceptable range for parks Overall, individual Project impacts are thus insignificant
(b) Stationary Source Noise Impacts - The proposed project is anticipated to
include various stationary noise sources, including parking lot noise and noise from air
conditioning units or computer /telecommunications equipment The parking lot noise is not
anticipated to significantly impact sensitive receptors, as it will be partially shielded by the
buildings on -site and proposed landscaping Noise from air conditioning units and/or
computer /telecommunications equipment will be minimized through measures such as
enclosures, shielding and other forms of noise attenuation
An electrical- cogeneration facility may be included as a part of the proposed
project A co- generation umt is typically moderately noise, but generally contains numerous
sound- abating features, including enclosure within a building and both air movement and
rotational machinery silencing The most typical noise is a high frequency "whine" from the
spinning turbine High frequency noise is much more readily abated than low frequency rumbles,
such that supplemental design features can be installed if the co- generation plant were located
close to noise - sensitive, on -site uses such as the hotel or day care facility
The City of El Segundo noise standard for stationary noise sources is 60 dBA
(50th percentile level) for commercial or mixed -use zones Noise levels from commercial air
conditioning units generally achieve 60 dB within approximately 15 feet from the source A co-
generation unit, located mdoors except for the air intakes and exhaust stacks, has noise levels of
55 -60 dB outside the powerhouse building On -site stationary noise sources thus have negligible
potential for exceeding the mixed -use or park noise standards except within a few feet of the

distance between the source and a nearby receiver to reduce the 90 dB(A) source strength to a
generally acceptable 65 dB exterior exposure level In later phases of finish construction,
equipment such as generators, compressors, saws, etc., are somewhat less noisy and the physical
barrier created by partially completed on -site facilities further breaks up the line of sight
propagation Compliance with the El Segundo Noise Ordinance will limit construction noise
impacts to periods of reduced noise sensitivity

Noise /Operational Impacts
Effect The proposed project could result in significant noise in the area from
either traffic in the area or stationary noise sources within the Project
Findin e Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a), the City Council
finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not expressly identify or contain substantial
evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Reduced Project with respect to
operational noise impacts The major source of operational mobile source noise is from
vehicular traffic The Reduced Project is expected to generate less traffic and thus produce less
noise than the Original Project. Traffic noise would not sigmficantly impact users of the Park
Site The major sources of operational stationary source noise impacts are parking lot noise and
noise from air conditioning units or computer /telecommunications equipment, as well as a
possible electrical co- generation facility The Reduced Project will contain the same types of
uses as the Original Project except for the park, which would not generate sigmficant amounts of
noise Because the Reduced Project will be less dense than the Original Project, the Reduced
Project would generate less operational noise, as set forth in Chapter VII of the FEIR The

B- Impacts Identified as Potentially Significant But Which in Fact are Not
Significant or Which Can Be Avoided
The City Council finds that although the following environmental effects were
identified as potentially significant based upon the Initial Study, (a) the FEIR and the record of
proceedings do not expressly identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant
environmental effects of the proposed project with respect to the areas listed below, or (b)
changes or alterations have been required or incorporated into the conditions and requirements of
the proposed project which avoid or lessen the potential significant environmental effects as
identified in the Initial Study to a level of insignificance for the reasons summarized below The
differences between the Original Project and the Reduced Project do not affect this finding
Noise /Construction Impacts
Effect The demolition and construction activities could generate significant
amounts of noise during these phases of Project implementation
Fmdmg- Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081(a), the City Council
finds that the following changes, alterations, or requirements are hereby incorporated into the
Reduced Project which will mitigate, avoid, or substantially lessen the significant environmental
effects of the project with respect to construction noise impacts Because the Reduced Project
will involve less construction than the Original Project, the short-term noise impacts of the
Reduced Project are expected to be less than those of the Original Project The Original Project's
operational noise impacts were not found to be significant, therefore, the Reduced Project's
operational noise impacts are also not significant
Fact. Temporary construction noise impacts vary markedly because the noise
strength of construction equipment ranges widely as a function of the equipment used and its
activity level This temporary noise will not be significant considering that the Project Site is

Department of Fish and Game ( "Fish and Game ") or U.S Fish and Wildlife Service In addiuon,
there are no known locally designated natural communities on the site or in the project vicinity
The proposed project would not result in the direct removal, filling or
hydrological interruption of a federally protected wetland as defined by Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act Due to the highly urbanized surroundings, there are no wildlife corridors or native
wildlife nursery sites in the project vicinity The proposed project would not interfere with the
movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species Also, the Project Site does not
contain any trees or vegetation that are considered sensitive or protected Therefore, the
proposed project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological
resources, such as tree preservation policy or ordinance Because there are no known locally
designated natural communities on the Project Site or in the project vicinity, the proposed project
would not conflict with the provisions of an adopted habitat Conservation Plan, Natural
Conservation Cornmumty Plan, other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan
There are no such conservation plans in the City of El Segundo
During the 30 -day public comment period for the NOP, Fish and Game submitted
an EIR comment letter to the City of El Segundo dated June 13, 2001 which noted that Fish and
Game had examined the Project Site from outside the perimeter fence and expressed the
following concerns. 1) that the site supports some native plants, including sandbar willow (Sahx
exigua), mule fat (Bacharris salicifolia), and coyote brush (Bacharris pilularis); 2) that the site's
topography may allow the formation of standing water in portions of the site during winter rains,
3) that a facultative wetland indicator, rabbitsfoot grass (Polypogon monspehensis), was viewed
on the site near Mariposa Street and Douglas Street, and 4) that the site may have the potential to
support species associated with vernal pools, such as Riverside fairy shrimp (Streptocephalus
wooront) and western spadefoot toad (Scaphiopus hammondii)
In response to Fish and Game's letter, the consulting firths of Vandermost
Consulting Services and Glenn Lukos Associates conducted a biological resources evaluation of
the Project Site in order to deternime whether the site supports, or exhibits the potential to
support, state or federally listed threatened or endangered species or other special status species
or vegetation communities In summary, the biological evaluation confirmed that the Project Site
does not support any state or federally listed threatened or endangered species nor does the site
support any special status flora or fauna. In addition, the Project Site does not support any native
plant communities and as such does not support any sensitive or otherwise special status upland
or wetland plant communities. Under current land use practices, the site exhibits no potential for
supporting either special status species or vegetation communities. Also, the Project Site
contains no areas subject to U.S Army Corps or Fish and Game junsdiction. Since there are no
sensitive biological resources associated with the Project Site, development of the proposed

Fact- The Project Site is not designated as prime agricultural land and is not
zoned "agricultural " Therefore, the proposed project would not result in the conversion of
Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance, as shown on the maps
prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources
Agency, to non - agricultural use In addition, the proposed project would not conflict with
existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract Finally, the proposed project
would not involve other changes in the existing environment, which, due to their location or
nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to a non - agricultural use Therefore, the proposed
project would not result in any potentially significant impacts to agricultural resources.
Air Quality (create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people)
Fact- The proposed hotel and restaurant uses would have the potential to create
odors These emissions would be comparable to those anticipated with any type of commercial
uses involving food service activities Some businesses, such as restaurants with exhaust vents,
are considered "stationary point sources" and may be subject to further regulatory requirements
above and beyond any requisite CEQA mitigation While the emissions from these activities are
common and not identified as being particularly hazardous, they maybe subject to permitting
requirements that call for the use of "best available control technology" in order to eliminate or
reduce the levels of emissions. Any potential nuisance related to odor that may occur with these
activities would be minimized under the SCAQMD's permitting requirements No unpact is
anticipated Additional analysis of this issue is not warranted
4 Biological Resources (substantial adverse effect on any species identified as a
candidate, sensitive, or special status species, substantial adverse effect on riparian habitat or
other sensitive natural community, substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands,
interfere substantially with the movement of any resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or
with established native resident migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife
nursery sites, conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such
as a tree preservation ordinance, conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation
Plan, Natural Conservation Community Plan, other approved local, regional or state habitat
conservation plan)
Fact- As described in the Initial Study, the vacant Project Site is located in a
highly urbanized area and contains patches of non - native grasses and shrubs The site was
previously developed from 1953 -1992 and has since been remediated and re- graded to its current
condition The current property owner has maintained a weed abatement program on the site for
several years As such, the site does not contain any species identified as a candidate, sensitive,

1II. FINDINGS REGARDING THE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF
THE PROPOSED Project
A. Impacts Found to be InsigLnficant by the Initial Study
The City Council finds that the Initial Study, FE1R and record of proceedings do not
expressly identify, or contain substantial evidence identifying potentially significant
environmental effects of the proposed project with respect to the areas listed below The
differences between the Original Project and the Reduced Project do not affect this finding
1 Aesthetics (substantial adverse effect on scenic vista, substantial damage to scenic
resources, including, but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a
state scenic highway)
Fact The vacant Project Site is characterized by flat topography and is
surrounded by multi -story commercial, office and industrial uses There are no prominent
natural visual features or other attributes that would qualify the Project Site or the project vicinity
as scenic Buildmgs in the vicinity of the Project Site range in height from one to ten stones In
addition, there are no scenic highways or corridors in the project area Therefore, the proposed
project would not result in a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista No impact is
anticipated Addiuonal analysis of this issue is not warranted
The vacant and flat Project Site does not contain any scenic resources such as
trees, rock outcroppings or historic buildings. The Project Site was previously occupied by
Rockwell International between 1953 and 1990 Demolition activities were conducted in 1992 to
remove all buildings and infrastructure The project area is located near Imperial Highway, the
Century Freeway (I -105) and the San Diego Freeway (I -105), none of which is designated as a
scenic roadway. Therefore, the proposed project would not substantially damage scenic
resources No impact is anticipated Additional analysis of this issue is not warranted
2 Agricultural Resources (convert Prune Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland
of Statewide Importance (Farmland); conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a
Williamson Act contract, involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their
location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland to non - agricultural use).

Because the Applicant would have the flexibility to vary the mix of uses, the analysts in the Draft
EIR assumed a combination of uses which represented the "worst case" scenario with respect to
specific environmental impacts A Notice of Completion was filed with the State Clearinghouse
on September 24, 2001. The Draft EIR was circulated for a 45 -day public review and comment
period from September 24, 2001 to November 8, 2001
The lead agency received approximately 46 comments on the Draft EIR during the 45 -day
comment period from public agencies, groups and individuals Public testimony on the Draft
EIR was also received by the Planning Commission at duly noticed public hearings on
October 25, 2001, November 8, 2001 and November 15, 2001 Responses to these comments are
included in the FEIR
D Reduced Project
Following completion of the Draft EIR, the Applicant reduced the size of the Original
Project in response to mput from the community and City staff The project presented to the City
Planning Commission and City Council (the "Reduced Project') contains a total gross floor area
of 2,175,000 square feet, a 375,000 gross square -foot (approximately 15 percent) reduction in
size from the Original Project analyzed in the Draft EIR The Reduced Project consists of
1,740,000 gross square feet of offices, 100,000 gross square feet of research and
development/light industrial, 65,000 gross square feet of telecommumcations /web hosting,
75,000 gross square feet of retail, 75,000 gross square feet of restaurants, a 19,000 gross square -
foot health club, 87,000 gross square feet of hotel/conference facilities, 7,000 gross square feet of
medical/demal offices, and a 7,000 gross square-foot day care center As with the Original
Project, the actual use mix could vary but office use would not exceed 80 percent and Non -
Office Uses would not be less than 20 percent of the total square footage The Reduced Project
would also involve the sale of five acres of the Project Site (the "Park Site ") to the City for use as
a public park/soccer fields Like the Original Project, the Reduced Project would be built in up
to 10 phases through approximately July, 2009 As used below, the term "project" or "proposed
project" refers to the Original Project and/or the Reduced Project
The Reduced Project would have a maximum overall floor area ratio (FAR) of 0 99 1,
based on a maximum net floor area of 2,000,000 square feet However, under the Specific Plan

10,000 square feet of medical/dental offices, and a 10,000 square -foot day care center
(collectively the "Onginal Project') The Original Project also included a one -acre site to be
dedicated to the City for afire station The Original Project could also include a cogeneration
facility to meet the higher electrical demands of the telecommumcation/web hosting uses
Because the Applicant is seeking flexible entitlements, within certain established parameters, to
better respond to market demand, it is possible that the ultimate mix of uses could change In no
event, however would office uses exceed 80 percent of the total square footage or Non - Office
Uses (as defined in the Specific Plan) be less than 20 percent at full project buildout
The Original Project would be built out in up to ten phases over several years, with final
completion occurring in or about July, 2009 The floor area ratio ( "FAR ") of the Original Project
would be 1.15 to 1. The FAR of individual parcels could exceed 1.15 to 1, as long as the overall
FAR is 1 15 to 1 or less
C CEOA Process
Based on an itutial study dated May 11, 2001 (the "Initial Study"), the lead agency
determined an environmental impact report ( "EIR ") should be prepared for the Original Project
pursuant to CEQA A Notice of Preparation ( "NOP ") of the Draft EIR was prepared and
circulated for a 30 -day public review period beginning on May 11, 2001 and ending on June 11,
2001 Based on public comments in response to the NOP and a review of environmental issues
by the El Segundo Department of Community, Economic and Development Services, the Draft
EIR analyzed the following environmental impact areas
• Traffic
• Air Quality
• Noise
• Geology and Soils
• Cultural Resources

The proposed reduced project includes approximately 1,740,000 gross square feet of
offices comprising approximately 80 percent of the project A mix of commercial and
industnal uses consisting of approximately 100,000 gross square feet of research 8
development/light industrial, 65,000 gross square feet of telecommunications /web
hosting, 75,000 gross square feet of retail, 75,000 gross square feet of restaurants, a
19,000 gross square foot health club, 87,000 gross square feet of hotel /conference
facilities, 7,000 gross square feet of medical /dental offices, and a 7,000 gross square
foot day care center would comprise a minimum of approximately 20 percent of the total
budding area The CCSP would also allow for alternative mixes of non -office uses within
the 20 percent requirement
C The proposed reduced project would permit up to 2 175 million -gross square feet of built
area on approximately 46 53 acres of land The reduced project represents a 375,000
gross square foot reduction (approximately 15 percent) in project size from that originally
submitted The net floor area, as defined in ESMC § 15 -1 -6, would be a maximum of
2 00 million square feet Based on the net floor area, the overall development floor area
ratio (FAR) would be 0.99 1 The 0.99 1 FAR would exclude the fire station budding
(approximately 14,400 square feet) and any community buildings (i e , restrooms,
maintenance buildings, snack shop) that would be located on the five -acre park site For
purposes of the proposed project, the FAR would be based on the entire 46 53 -acre site
The land to be dedicated for the fire station and "A" and "B" Streets, as well as the five -
acres to be purchased by the City for parkland would not be deducted from the site area
for FAR purposes The Specific Plan would provide for the transfer of density rights
within the plan area As a result, FARs on individual parcels may range from
approximately 0 00:1 to 5 81.1 Eleven of the proposed parcels would have no FAR at all
because two parcels (No 5 and 9) would only contain parking structures, three parcels
(No 1, 13, and 17) would only contain surface parking lots, another three parcels (No
21, 23, and 26) would contain only common open space areas, and three parcels (No
10, 11, and 12) represent the location of the proposed fire station site and five acre
recreational site Each parcel will have a covenant recorded stating the maximum FAR
permitted on the parcel However, the Specific Plan would prohibit the overall FAR to
exceed 0.99 1
D The property is designated by the City of El Segundo General Plan Land Use Element
as Urban Mixed -Use North, and, Zoned Urban Mixed Use -North (MU -N) The property
also is within the Multimedia Overlay (MMO) Zone
E The proposed project site, formerly occupied by Rockwell International, is located in the
City of El Segundo at the southwestern edge of the Los Angeles coastal basin,
approximately 0 5 miles south of the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The
proposed project site is situated slightly more than one -mile inland (east) from the Pacific
Ocean The City of Los Angeles' territorial boundary is a few blocks to the north of the
proposed project site The proposed project site is bounded by Douglas Street on the
east, Nash Street on the west, Manposa Avenue on the south, and Atwood Way on the
north Additionally, the elevated Metro Green Line runs along the north of the property,
turning south across the northwest portion of the property, and continues south along the
west side of Nash Street adjacent to the project site
F Rockwell International used the property from 1953 to 1990 to manufacture metals and
composite aircraft parts During that time, numerous buildings and underground storage
3 142
tanks were located on the site The proposed protect site has remained as level,
unimproved land since 1992 when Rockwell Iritemational demolished their facilities on
the site
G Several dozen underground storage tanks (UST's) and /or pits were used by Rockwell in
the operation of the plant Rockwell began removing the UST's and closing pits in the
late 1980s under the supervision of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works
( LACDPW) In the early 1990s, a site wide investigation was conducted to determine if
the past use of the property had impacted the protect site Remedial activities at this
time consisted of excavating contaminated soil, as required by the LACDPW
Groundwater and sod contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and
petroleum hydrocarbons were discovered in 1994 at the southwest corner of the protect
site Although much of the impacted soil was excavated from the protect site, VOC
contaminated sod and groundwater were permitted to be left in place by the appropriate
State agencies A subsequent risk assessment based upon conservative residential
exposure scenarios determined that the contamination left in place did not present a
significant threat to human health or the environment The Los Angeles Regional Water
Quality Control Board (LARWQCB), California Department of Toxic Substance Control
(DTSC) and the LACDPW have all been involved with remedial activities at the protect
site These agencies have determined that the site is safe to use for any type of
development, which would include recreational facilities None of the agencies has
requirements for further investigation at this time. Based on this information, no further
action or investigation is required at this time concerning the historical use of the protect
site and there is no evidence to indicate that use of any portion of the property would
expose anyone to contaminated sod Thus, the park can be safely located on any portion
of the protect site, including the southeast or southwest comer
H The proposed protect would be built in ten phases over seven years with construction
expected to begin in 2002 and completed in 2009 The particular budding to be built in
each phase would depend on market conditions at the time. Each phase is currently
expected to begin 18 months apart A proposed phasing plan is included in the Draft
Environmental Impact Report (Page II -11)
The specific plan would allow a maximum of 80 percent of the floor area (1,740,000
gross square feet) to be developed with office uses The remaining 20 percent (435,000
gross square feet) would be required to be non - office uses permitted in the Specific
Plan, such as commercial, retail, and light industrial uses
A minimum of 20 percent of each phase that is developed will be required to be non -
office to ensure the balance between office and non - office is maintained as development
progresses Section 6 2 of the Development Agreement provides a deferral of the first
50,000 square feet of non - office floor area in consideration for the dedication of the one -
acre fire stations site An additional 150,000 square foot deferral of non - office uses in
consideration for the sale of the park site has also been negotiated between the City and
the applicant to be applied to any phase of development at the applicant's discretion As
a result, up to 1,000,000 square feet of office floor area could be constructed before the
requirement that non -office floor area be constructed if the applicant chooses the full
amount of deferral at the beginning of the protect
K The Corporate Campus Specific Plan is consistent with the Multimedia Overlay (MMO)
zone The entertainment related uses permitted in the MMO Zone are incorporated into
4 143
the Specific Plan as permitted uses Additionally, the Specific Plan is limited to a
maximum of 2,175,000 square feet of total development in the Specific Plan area
regardless of the type of use
L The proposed protect would also include the construction of pnvate internal roadways to
facilitate vehicle and pedestrian movements within and through the property As depicted
on the proposed site plan in the Specific Plan, a portion of this internal road system
would link to the 1 -105 Freeway on -ramp at Atwood Way, another segment would serve
as an extension of Maple Avenue, and a portion would intersect with Duley Road on the
Manposa Avenue side of the project site. As private roads, the applicant would be
required to provide all maintenance on the roads No parking would be permitted along
the internal private roadways
M To partially offset the potential power needs of the proposed protect, an on -site power
generation facility may be included in the project If this component were included, it
would occupy a portion of one of the parking structures. Such a power plant would be
an approximately 15- megawatt, gas turbine based, combined -cycle cogeneration facility,
which would supply power to all of the budding in the project
N If a large telecommunications /web hosting facility is included in the project under the
permitted mix of uses, an on -site electrical substation may be required due to the
unusually high electricity demands of such uses
O The proposed subdivision, which is based on the conceptual site plan, includes 26
separate parcels of land range from 0 52 to 5 83 acres Minimum parcel sizes in the
Specific Plan are consistent with the MU -N Zone. All the proposed parcels would comply
with the 10,000 square foot lot area minimum. Each parcel would provide access to
either one of the perimeter street public rights -of -way or one of the proposed private
internal roadways The Specific Plan would not require all parcels to abut public streets,
as is the case in the MU -N Zone All of the internal private roadways will be required to
be maintained for public access through the recording of covenants or easements
P The Maple Avenue extension ( "A" Street on the Vesting Tentative Tract Map) and
connector road to 1 -105 on ramp at Atwood Way ( "B" Street on the Vesting Tentative
Tract Map) would be designed to meet full public roadway widths defined in the
Circulation Element of the General Plan By constructing these roadways to meet full
public roadway standards, the Development Agreement would allow the applicant to be
eligible to offset a portion of the cost of constructing these roadways and other off -site
mitigation measures against the traffic mitigation fees that would be paid for the project,
since these two roadways would improve traffic circulation for the area, in addition to
serving the project The remaining internal private roads would be slightly narrower than
public roadway widths and are intended as typical collector roadway that would not tend
to serve through traffic As private roads, the applicant will be required to provide all
maintenance on the roads The applicant will be required to record public access
easements on all the internal private roadways to insure access is provided to all
parcels No parking would be permitted along the internal private roadways
Q Parking is proposed to be provided primarily within five on -site parking structures varying
from seven to nine levels in height As indicated on the site plan, each structure would
be sized to provide the required parking for the buildings assigned to each structure. A
total of 7,453,parking spaces are proposed in the five parking structures Additionally,
144
272 surface parking spaces would be provided, throughout the site, primarily adjacent to
the commercial and restaurant portions of the project Based upon the parking
requirements contained in the Zoning Code, a total of 6,332 parking spaces would be
required A surplus of 1,353 parking spaces is proposed
R The proposed Development Agreement establishes the permitted uses for the proposed
project and minimum and maximum floor areas for certain types of uses as well The
proposed Development Agreement sets a nine -year duration of the Agreement, which is
generally consistent with the proposed phasing plan for the project The developer would
also be entitled to a five -year extension
S The Development Agreement provides for the dedication of approximately one acre of
the property to the City for the construction of a planned fire station to replace existing
Fire Station No 2 The site was originally depicted on Parcel No 11 on the southeast
corner of the project at the intersection of Douglas Street and Manposa Avenue The
Fire Station Site location has been revised to be located on Parcel 14, near the
intersection of Manposa Avenue and the Duley Road entrance driveway to the project
site Fire Station No 2, currently at the corner of Nash Street and El Segundo Boulevard
would be relocated to this new location. The Development Agreement would allow the
applicant to forego payment of the standard $0 14 per square foot fire service mitigation
fee in consideration for the dedication of one acre of land, valued at approximately
$1,880,000 The fee would have been approximately $304,500
T The protect included the City purchase of approximately five acres of the property
(Parcels 10, 11, 12, and 13) in the southeast comer for use as a public recreational
facility Subsequently, five acres in the southwest comer (Parcels 14 and 15) of the site
was identified as the preferred location for the parkland purchase instead The land
would be used for such things as soccer and softball fields The actual design of the
recreational facilities and the amenities to be provided would be determined by the Parks
and Recreation Commission at a later date Through the Development Agreement, a
maximum cost of $1,000,000 per acre has been agreed upon for purchase of the
parkland This equals $22 95 per square foot The City had an independent appraisal
performed, which estimated the fair market value of the land to be $1,880,000 per acre
or $37 50 per square foot An additional appraisal shall be conducted which may result
in a lower final price
U The proposed Development Agreement would require the applicant to provide the
required parking for the parkland within adjacent parking structures on the protect site on
a shared -use basis By agreeing to this requirement, the City will save the cost of
constructing parking spaces on the park site, saving approximately $7,000- 12,000 per
parking space, excluding land costs, and enabling the full five acres to be devoted to
recreational uses
V The Draft EIR analyzed a larger protect than the reduced protect currently being
proposed by the applicant The Draft EIR examined the environmental impacts of a
protect with a maximum permitted FAR of 1 15 1 The reduced protect is 15 percent
smaller than the protect discussed in the Draft EIR The mix of office commercial, R & D,
light industrial, restaurants that are proposed in the reduced protect is consistent with the
mix of uses studied in the Draft EIR The Draft EIR studied the impact of a protect with
2,000,000 gross square foot of office (approximately 80 percent) and 550,000 gross
6 145
square feet of non -office uses The environmental impacts for the proposed reduced
protect are within the scope of the protect studied in the Draft EIR
W Based on public comments in response to the Notice of Preparation and a review of
environmental issues by staff, the Draft EIR analyzed the following environmental impact
areas: traffic, air quality, noise, geology and soils, cultural resources, hydrology and water
quality, aesthetics, land use, pollution /housing /employment, hazardous materials, public
services, and utilities The Draft EIR concluded that all potentially significant impacts
identified in the Draft EIR, with the exception of traffic and air quality impacts, are at a
less than significant level due to the application of relevant City policies and regulations
and the imposition of protect specific mitigation measures
X Traffic impacts related to the originally proposed protect at the intersections of
Rosecrans Avenue /Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue /Aviation Boulevard
were found to be significant and unavoidable due to the infeasibility of mitigation
measures to improve the intersections because of the inability to acquire right -of -way
due to existing improvements for the required improvements. The Final EIR includes a
traffic analysis of the reduced protect While the reduced protect would reduce protect
related significant impacts before mitigation at the two identified significantly impacted
intersections, the reduced protect would not eliminate the significant unavoidable impacts at
Rosecrans Avenue /Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue /Aviation Boulevard
Y The Draft EIR concluded that emissions from mobile sources associated with the
originally proposed project would exceed the South Coast Air Quality Management's
(SCAQMD) significance thresholds for criteria pollutants Reactive Organic Compounds
(ROC) and Nitrous Oxides (NO,) at partial buildout in 2005 At full buildout of the protect
in the year 2010, Carbon Monoxide (CO) would also exceed SCAQMD thresholds
Because the degree of "excess" emissions substantially exceed the strict SCAQMD
limits, the Draft EIR concluded that there was little potential for any mitigation measures
to reduce the projects mobile emissions As a result, the project's impacts will remain
significant and unavoidable
Z The Draft EIR concluded that the originally proposed project would exceed the state
eight -hour microscale CO "hot spot" exposure limits of 20 parts per million (ppm) at four
intersections due to the project traffic volumes Additionally, the cumulative effects of the
approved project identified in the Draft EIR, in combination with the proposed project
would be cumulatively significant for both the State one -hour and eight -hour CO "hot
spot" standards The Cumulative one -hour impacts would affect three intersections in the
P M peak hour only and the cumulative eight -hour impacts would affect four
intersections Therefore, there are significant individual and cumulative impacts for CO
microscale "hot spots" However, the Draft EIR was not able to identify any feasible
mitigation measures available that would reduce the project related eight -hour significant
impact or the cumulative impacts As a result, these impacts would remain significant
and unavoidable While the reduced project would lower these impacts, the impacts are
expected to remain unavoidable and significant with the reduced project
AA Traffic noise impacts at a number of intersections in the project area would exceed the
established three - decibel increase threshold (page IV D -12 of Draft EIR) Traffic noise is
directly related to traffic volume The traffic noise levels from the project alone do not
create a project specific noise impact However, when combined with the traffic noise
levels associated with other known projects, the traffic noise level would exceed the
7 146
established threshold Therefore, the project would contribute to an unavoidable
cumulative impact The reduction in the size of the proposed project could reduce the
number of impacted intersections, due to the reduction of trips associated with the
reduced project size A reduced project traffic noise analysis was conducted and
included in the Final EIR, which indicated that one road segment identified in the Draft
EIR (Nash Street from Maple Avenue to Mariposa Avenue) would no longer be
considered as a cumulatively significant impact Twelve road segments would remain
with significant cumulative impacts with the reduced project
BB Based on the disparity between projected job growth and housing construction, the
Draft EIR concluded that the proposed projects incremental contribution to growth and
housing demand would be cumulatively considerable, resulting in a significant
cumulative impact There are no feasible mitigation measures available to reduce the
cumulative regional impact
CC The Draft EIR concluded that the project would contribute to a significant cumulative
impact on solid waste disposal capacity caused by regional growth There are no
feasible mitigation measures available to reduce the cumulative regional impact
DD Because it is impossible to assess the direct project air quality impact on a regional scale,
and because the impact is microscopically small for secondary pollutants, the SCAQMD
has developed surrogate significance thresholds that are based upon the amount of
emissions generated by an individual project. These emission levels (lbs /day, etc) are
meant as an indicator that there are project- related regional impacts even if the health
impact cannot be quantified in terms of actual air quality. The SCAQMD thresholds are
regional standards which are intended to address regional air quality issues and to help
achieve compliance with State and Federal air quality plan They are not intended to
measure local health impacts on a project scale As such, the project's exceedances of
these thresholds does not mean that the project will create or contribute to unsafe
health levels of air pollutants in the City.
EE Northrop Grumman Corporation (NGC) is subject to Proposition 65 and Assembly Bill
2588 notification requirements related to the use of toxic chemicals Portions of the
project site are within areas subject to NGC notification. The contour shown on the AB
2588 "cancer risk from toxic air pollution map" published by the SCAQMD for the NGC
was based on a conservative health risk assessment analyzing peak emissions from
the NGC facility in 1991 This health risk assessment concluded that a receptor
breathing the maximum concentration of peak emissions 24 hours per day over a 70
year lifetime would have an increased cancer risk by a maximum of 61 chances in a
1,000,000 The "cancer risk from toxic air pollution map" on file in the Planning Division
shows the peak emissions receptor at a location some distance from the project site on
the far side (eastern) of the NGC facility A portion of the project site is located along
the outside contour of the map area, where, due to the dispersion of emissions, the
increased conservative cancer risk would be, at most, 10 in 1,000,000 Because the
NGC health nsk assessment showed an increased cancer risk of more than 25 in
1,000,000, the SCAQMD, the local agency implementing AB 2588, required NGC to
implement risk reduction measures The measures reduced the increased cancer risk
at the peak receptor from 61 in one million to 7 6 in 1,000,000 The health risks at the
outside contour were also proportionately reduced As a result, if the NGC facility were
proposing this amount of emissions today as a new facility, it would not be subject to
the AB 2588 notification requirements at all The SCAQMD's health risk assessment
8 14 7
criteria assumed a 24 -hour a day, seven day a week exposure for 70 years Maximum
use of the park site, and the exposure to the already reduced level of NGC emissions,
would be limited to a few hours per week over a much shorter time span Thus, park
users would be exposed to significantly lower levels of emissions than NGC's
employees, who are present during normal work hours nearer the source Further, this
limited exposure would generally not occur during the peak emission period from the
NGC facility', that is, park usage will occur pnmanly during evenings and weekends
Therefore, any increased cancer risks on the park site from exposure to emissions from
the NGC facility would be negligible The health nsk associated with people using the
park site would be less than for office tenants because an assessment of health nsks to
office workers would take into account the fact that workers are exposed to toxic
emissions 40 hours per week Since people would be at the park for only a few hours a
week, their nsk factors would even be less than indicated in the existing NGC health
nsk assessment and less than an assessment based on office worker exposure
SECTION 3• General Plan The proposed project conforms with the City's General Plan as
follows
A The General Plan contains a number of relevant Goals, Objectives, and Policies in the
Economic Development Element The goal of Objective ED1 -1 is budding "support and
cooperation among the City of El Segundo and its businesses and residential
communities for the mutual benefits derived from the maintenance and expansion of El
Segundo's economic base" The benefits of the development will be shared and
supported by all constituencies in the City The proposed project also provides benefits
for the applicant with important benefits for the community as a whole. The development
will provide significant fiscal benefit to the City. A Fiscal Impact Analysis has been
prepared for the project to estimate the fiscal benefits to the City
B According to Policy ED1 -1 2, long -run efforts for economic development should focus on
"diversification of El Segundo's economic base in order to meet quality of life goals "The
project will add to the diversification of the economic base in the City by providing for a
mix of permissible uses and requiring at least 20 percent of the uses be non - office The
proposed telecommunications /web hosting use may serve as a catalyst for other internet
related companies to choose El Segundo as a location for their business operations
C Objective ED1 -2 also directs diversification of the economic base "on targeted industries
that meet the City's criteria for job creation, growth potential, fiscal impact and fit with
local resources " The City's Economic Development Advisory Council (EDAC) prepared
a list of targeted industries, which was approved by the City Council These industries
are eligible for certain financial incentives because they meet the criteria described in
Objective ED1 -2 The research and development and telecommunications /web hosting
uses would be on the list of targeted industries that the City is recruiting in order to meet
its diversification efforts Therefore, the proposed project meets the diversification criteria
established in the General Plan, by the EDAC, and the City Council
D Due to the City's tax structure, a significant portion of the fiscal benefit derived from most
proposed development would be attributed to the number of employees in a new
development. The reduced project is proposed to generate approximately 6,722 full time
jobs in El Segundo if developed as proposed Therefore, the project meets the job
creation Objective (ED1 -2) in the General Plan
148
E Policies EDII-2 1 and ED1 -2.2, both seek to promote land uses, which improve the City's
retail and commercial tax base Since the stated purpose of the Corporate Campus
Specific Plan Land Use Designation is to provide a mix of compatible commercial,
offices, research and development, retail, and hotel uses, it is appropriate to examine
the potential fiscal impacts of the proposed project and compare them with other
potential uses of the property The Fiscal Impact Analysis shows that the fiscal benefits
for the City are consistent with the estimates that were prepared for the Grand Avenue
Corporate Center (GACC)
F The applicant for the proposed project prepared a Fiscal Impact Analysis The Fiscal
Impact Analysis for the proposed project concluded that the project could generate an
annual marginal fiscal benefit (project versus existing conditions) of $1,389,100 The City
has independently reviewed the assumptions used in the applicant's fiscal impact
analysis and agrees that the assumptions are consistent with the assumptions used in
the City's own fiscal model to determine the revenues and costs associated with the
project
G The proposed project meets the City's policy of seeking balance between enhanced
economic development and available resources and infrastructure capacity (Policies
ED1 -2 3 and LU7 -1.2). As adequate resources are currently available within the City to
serve the proposed project, as supported by the Draft EIR, a substantial new
commitment of resources or infrastructure is not required The project also proposes
several roadway improvements to ensure that the project would not overburden the
existing roadway infrastructure A fire station site will be dedicated to the City to further
improve public services Based on this, the proposed project is consistent with Policy
ED1 -2 3
H Implementation of the proposed project will meet relevant goals and policies with regard
to the City Land Use Element The project would have multiple tenants, retail uses,
restaurants, and other uses which would "provide synergistic relationships which have
the potential to maximize economic benefit, reduce traffic impact, and encourage
pedestrian environments" as envisioned by General Plan Land Use Objective LU4-4
These characteristics contribute to the mixed -use nature for the project As conditioned,
the proposed use on the 46 53 acre parcel is a mixed -use project as envisioned in the
General Plan for the property as long as the non - office use has a approximately 435,000
square feet or a minimum of 20 percent of the square footage proposed.
I The proposed project would provide "high quality retail facilities in proximity to major
employment centers" (Objective LU4 -1) The project would "encourage retail uses,
where appropriate, on the ground floor of Urban Mixed -Use and corporate offices "
(Policy LU4 -3 1) and would be a "mixed -use developments within one - quarter mile of the
Green Line Stations" encouraged by Policy LU4 -3.2
J Objective LU4 -4 contains a number of Policies, specifically, LU4-4 3, LU4-4 4, LU4-4 6,
and LU4 -4.8, which discuss the promotion of mixed -use projects in the Urban Mixed -Use
Zone While the project would change the Urban Mixed -Use North Zone to the Corporate
Campus Specific Plan, the mix of uses is consistent with the Mixed -Use North
designation Therefore, the land use policies that apply to the Urban Mixed -Use
designation would apply to the project as well
10 149
K The proximity of the existing Norwalk-El Segundo MTA Green Line stations will
encourage employee utilization of this transportation facility and will provide a viable
alternative to commuting by automobile The applicant will also construct a Bike Station
next to the Manposa -Nash Green Line Station (mitigation measure No B-4) to support
alternative commuting. (Policies LU4 -3 2, LU4 -3 4, LU4 -4.7, and C3 -1.2, and Objective
AQ3 -1). The project has been designed to provide the higher density buildings within a
one - quarter mile radius of the Mariposa -Nash Green Line Station to facilitate public
transit use Commercial uses have also been concentrated along the west side of the
Project nearest the Green Line Station (LU4 -4 4 and LU4-4 6) The proposed project will
be accessible by other public transit (r,e , bus service, and the MTA Blue Line) and
Provide a shuttle van to the City for expanded public transit uses (mitigation measure
No. B -2) As provided in Condition of Approval No 6, the proposed project will include
landscaping throughout all project areas that will meet coverage requirements of the City
(Policy LU4 -1 1 and LU4 -3 6)
L The proposed project will be required to have strategic safety plans (MM L 1 -2) and a
fire life safety plan (MM L 2 -2) in place, as well as a fire station site adjacent to the
Project (LU7 -1.1 and LU7 -1.2). All on -site utilities will be placed underground (LU7 -2.3)
The potential cogeneration facility and electrical substation would be incorporated i nto
the building architecture and screened to not detract from the appearance of the project
(LU7 -2 5) The ESMC requires that all health and safety Code regulations, as well as all
seismic safety, water, noise, and air standards be adhered to (LU4 -1 2 and LU4e pr
M The proposed project is consistent with the policies of the City's Circulation Element
Consistent with mitigation measures B -1, B_
Provides pedestrian and bicycle access to the toad storage aaf t es and shower oand
clothes change facilities (Policies C2 -2.2 and C3 -1 7) The project will have sidewalks
around the perimeter, walkways along all the internal roadways, and other internal
pedestrian walkways with linkages to surrounding properties and public transit stops
(C2-1 3, C2 -1.6, and C2 -3.3). The proposed project will adhere to an applicable
regulations regarding preferential parking areas or promotion of ride share (Policy C2-
5 1) The proposed project will provide sufficient on -site parking and loading (PDX C3
2.1 and C1 -3 2) as required by the ESMC The internal roadways will be a minimum of
37 feet wide, which meets all applicable emergency vehicle access standards (C1 -1 8)
Implementation of mitigation measures B -1, B -2 B_3 and
B-4 will ensure that pedestrian
and bicycle impacts, as well as parking related impacts, as they relate to the General
Plan, will be mitigated to less than significant levels.
N Policies C3 -1 1 and C3 -1 5 of the General Plan require all project - related transportation
impacts to be mitigated by the developer, to the extent feasible The traffic
identified a number of intersections in the City that would require mitigation and
Proposed mitigation measures to address the traffic impacts study
of the proposed mitigation measures are infeasible due to nghot of wayb constraints, not
all traffic impacts can be mitigated to an insignificant level in order for the City to
approve the project with significant impacts, the Overriding Considerations, finding that there are City Veciaspe is oft he Project, that
when taken as a whole, outweigh the unavoidable negative environmental impacts A
Statement of Overriding' Considerations would indicate that at[ feasible mitigation was
incorporated into the project. As an alternative to a Statement of Overriding Considerations, the applicant would have to develop alternative feasible mitigation
11
150
measures that could be incorporated into the project as part of the Final Environmental
Impact Report and reduce the identified impacts to a level of insignificance
O Policy (C3 -1 1) requires "all new development to mitigate project related impacts on the
existing and future circulation. " and Policy 3 -1.5 requires "the implementation of
appropriate mitigation measures" in conjunction with a proposed project The project
would implement all feasible mitigation measures to mitigate the identified project related
impacts Approval of a Statement of Overriding Consideration for the unavoidable
significant traffic impacts, which are due to the infeasibility of the identified mitigation
measures is compatible with the goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan
Circulation Element to mitigate all impacts The purpose of these policies was not to
preclude the use of Statement's of Overriding Considerations as provided in CEQA or
the approval of future developments Additionally, the General Plan provides for a 1 3 1
floor area ratio (FAR) and the proposed project would be developed at a 0.99 FAR
Balancing the various provisions in the General Plan, the project meets the intent of
these provisions
P The project would comply with all Federal, State and regional regulations (Policy C4-
1 2) As part of the Traffic Impact Study in the Draft EIR, an analysis of the project's
impacts on the regional Congestion Management Plan (CMP) routes was conducted
The study determined that the project would not significantly impact any CMP routes,
other than the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard /Rosecrans Avenue, which has been
identified as an unavoidable significant impact The other unavoidably impact
intersection, Rosecrans Avenue /Aviation Boulevard, is not on the CMP network The
CMP does not contain minimum roadway service levels, which must be maintained by
the City in order to remain in compliance. By implementing all feasible mitigation
measures, the proposed project would comply with all regulations
Q The Circulation Element of the General Plan was adopted by the City Council on
December 1, 1992 (Ordinance No 1189). The Circulation Element accurately reflects
the environmental setting for the traffic conditions that exist in the City in 2001 The
Levels of Service at the intersections studied in the Draft EIR (Table IV b -2) for the
proposed project are consistent with the Levels of Service measured for the Circulation
Element in 1992 (Exhibit B -6) One intersection (Imperial Highway /Aviation Boulevard in
the A M peak hour) is at a better Level of Service today than in 1992 Only three of 23
other intersections in Ell Segundo studied in the Draft EIR operate at more congested
levels than in 1992 These are Grand Avenue /Sepulveda Boulevard intersection in the
A M and P M peak hour, El Segundo Boulevard /Sepulveda Boulevard intersection in
the P M peak hour, and El Segundo Boulevard /Aviation Boulevard intersection in the
p m peak hour. Additionally, the existing daily traffic volumes in the City (Exhibit 5 of
Circulation Element Update Technical Report, October 2000) indicate that the current
daily traffic volumes are much less than the projected daily traffic volumes for buildout of
the preferred land use plan of the 1992 General Plan (Exhibit C -9 of Circulation Element)
for either the 0.9 1 or 1.5:1 floor area ratio buildout scenarios The average increase in
traffic volumes on the major arterial roadways is approximately 10 -15% over the last ten
years When taking into account background traffic growth in the region and other
projects constructed since 1992 that contribute to traffic congestion, the small increase
in Levels of Service at these identified intersections and the relatively small growth in
daily traffic volumes compared to the projected growth analyzed in the 1992 General
Plan Environmental Impact Report, establishes that there has not been a significant
change the, environmental setting evaluated in the existing Circulation Element
12 151
R Implementation of the proposed protect will meet the policies of the City's Open Space
and Recreation Element as it provides recreational facilities, including a health club and
walking paths (Policies OS1 -2 3 and OS1 -2.5) Three parcels (No 21, 23, and 26) would
be devoted entirely to passive open space use with a water features The reduced
project incorporates five acres in either the southeast or southwest comer of the property
for public recreational facilities such as soccer and baseball fields, which would expand
the recreational opportunities for residents and employees in the City (Goal OS1,
Objective OS1 -1 1) In accordance with California Government Code § 65402, the
location, purpose and extent of the acquisition of the five -acres of parkland is in
conformance with the General Plan
S The City's purchase of a five -acre portion of the project site for a public park conforms to
Objective OS1 -1, which seeks to "acquire future public park and recreational facilities
which are adequate for serving the existing and future resident population " There was
clear testimony at the November 15, 2001, public hearing from Mr Tom Ashe,
Commissioner of the AYSO soccer group that there is a need for additional facilities to
serve the existing resident population The proposed park would serve that need Policy
OS1 -12 " encourages a locational service standard of one - quarter mile for
neighborhood parks and one -half mile for community parks " The currently proposed
park site at the southeast comer of the project site would be approximately two - thirds of
a mile from the nearest residents in El Segundo If the park site were relocated to the
southwest comer, it would be approximately 0 56 miles from the nearest El Segundo
residents It is important to note that this policy does not require a strict distance
threshold, it merely encourages a locational service standard As a community park, it
would also serve the employees within the area of the park, which would be consistent
with the overriding goal (Goal OS1) in the General Plan to provide park needs for
"existing and future residents and employees within the City of El Segundo " There are
no other public parks in the northeast quadrant of the City As such, the employment
community park needs in that portion of the City are currently underserved and would be
improved by the development of a park site
T The implementation of transportation demand management programs, as required by
mitigation measures B -1, B -2, B -3, B-4, and B -5, and as required by Chapters 15 -16 and
15 -17 of the ESMC will demonstrate compliance with air quality objectives to encourage
alternative commuting strategies (AQ1 -1), reduce vehicle trips (AQ3 -1 1, AQ3 -1 2), and
promote non - motorized transportation (AQ4 -1 1) Traffic Impact Mitigation Fees and in
lieu mitigation measures are required by City regulation to offset development impacts
(AQ5 -1 2) The applicant, as required by mitigation measure B -2 (AQ9 -1 3), will provide
a shuttle. The proposed project is consistent with the City's policy requiring new
developments to meet or exceed SCAQMD requirements for PM -10 emissions (Policy
AQ10 -1 3) Mitigation measure M 5 -1 provides that the proposed project will incorporate
energy conservation features (i e , motion - sensitive light activation switches, etc )
consistent with City Policy AQ12 -1 2
U The growth projected in the City's General Plan is consistent with the Regional Air
Quality Management Plan (AQMP) The AQMP is based on the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) regional growth projections SCAG's regional
growth projections are based on the land use buddout projections of all the General
Plans for cities in the South Coast Air Basin Therefore, because the City's General
Plan bwldout has been included in SCAG's regional projections, the General Plan is
13 152
consistent with the AQMP Additionally, provided development within the city is
consistent with the General Plan, the project is consistent with the SCAG protections and
the AQMP
V Air Quality Element Goals AQ14 and A015 generally state that the City will ensure that
pollution sources comply with all federal, state, regional, and local regulations, and that
the City reserves the right to be more strict with development protects that these
regulations require As described above, the proposed protect is consistent with the
AQMP and therefore is considered consistent with Air Quality Element Goals AQ14 and
AQ15 (and related policies) The project's exceedance of SCAQMD's emissions -based
thresholds does not constitute violation of such General Plan goals and policies
W Implementation of the proposed protect, subject to mitigation measures D -1, D -2, and D-
3, which address construction hours, equipment mufflers, and construction equipment
staging, will be consistent with relevant policies of the City's Noise Element (Policies N1-
2 1 and N1 -3 1).
X The proposed project is consistent with the applicable policies of the City's Conservation
Element Specifically, the construction of plumbing to accommodate the use of
reclaimed water for irrigation systems, when available, and the application of the City's
Water Conservation in Landscape regulations (Title 10- Chapter 2 of the El Segundo
Municipal Code), as required by mitigation measure M 2 -1 and M 2 -2 and condition of
approval No 8, 87, 88 and 89, would be consistent and further Policies CN2 -7, CN2 -12
Condition No. 88 requires the use of low -flow water fixtures as required by Policy CN2 -5
The project would provide a comprehensive and coordinated design of the entire project
site, including landscape amenities to substantially improve the aesthetic appearance of
the site and the surrounding area as encouraged by Policy CN5-6
Y Public Safety Element Policy PS6 -1.2 to continue efforts to reduce fire hazards would be
furthered by including a one -acre fire station site as part of the proposed protect, thereby
allowing the relocation of Fire Station No 2 to a new state -of- the -art facility within the
project site A new fire station located within the project site would also improve already
outstanding emergency response times and strengthen the City's ability to respond to
earthquake and other emergencies (Policy CN7 -1 4)
Z As a re -use of a previously developed industrial site, that has been remediated to the
satisfaction of the appropriate regulatory agencies and does not pose any health hazard
to employees, patrons or visitors to the site, the project is consistent with Policy HM3 -1 1
requiring compliance with hazardous materials handling laws. Mitigation measure K -1
will ensure that all future uses of hazardous materials on the project site are handled in
accordance with applicable safety regulations
AA Since approving a Specific Plan is a legislative act, there are no required findings for a
General Plan Amendment. However, an amendment must be internally consistent with
the rest of the General Plan The proposed General Plan Amendment is necessary to
carry out the proposed project because the proposed Corporate Campus Specific Plan
would change the land use designation from the property from Urban Mixed -Use North
to Corporate Campus Specific Plan The permitted uses and allowed density in the new
Corporate Campus Spec Plan land use designation are consistent with Urban Mixed-
Use North land use designation The proposed land use designation is also consistent
14 153
with all the buildout assumptions in the General Plan Therefore, it would not conflict with
any other elements of the General Plan
BB A Development Agreement will be executed to ensure that the proposed project
conforms with the General Plan requirements and to effectuate the City's findings, goals,
and policies listed in this Resolution or otherwise established by local regulation and
practice
SECTION 4 Specific Plan Findings The Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan
The proposed Corporate Campus Specific Plan (CCSP) is consistent with the permitted
uses and allowed density permitted elsewhere in the General Plan and is consistent with the
Urban Mixed -Use North Zone that it is replacing The proposed Corporate Campus Specific
Plan addresses all the required infrastructure needed to service the plan area and all
services are available to support the development
SECTION 5 Zone Change Findings Based on the factual findings of this Resolution, the
proposed Zone Change is necessary to carry out the proposed project because the
proposed Corporate Campus Specific Plan would change the zoning classification on the
property from MU -N to CCSP The proposed Zone Change is necessary to maintain
consistency with the proposed General Plan land uses designation of Corporate Campus
Specific Plan Without the Specific Plan, the project objective of allowing flexible parcel floor
area ratios within the overall plan area of 0 99 1 would not be possible Flexible floor area
ratios on individual parcels would allow density to be concentrated on certain parcels near
the Manposa -Nash Metro Green Line Station to promote public transit use, while allowing
less lot coverage and more open space on other parcels within the specific plan area
SECTION 6 Zone Text Amendment Findings Based on the factual findings of this
Resolution, the proposed Zone Text Amendment is necessary to carry out the proposed
project because the proposed Corporate Campus Specific Plan would change the zoning
classification from the property from MU -N to CCSP Without the Corporate Campus
Specific Plan, the project objective of allowing flexible parcel floor area ratios within the
overall plan area of 0 99 1 would not be possible An amendment to Section 15 -3 -2 of the
ESMC to list the CCSP as a specific plan within the City is necessary for consistency with
the General Plan
SECTION 7. Development Agreement Findings. Pursuant to City Council Resolution No
3268, adopted June 26, 1984, the City Council finds that
A The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs
specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan; because the Development
Agreement would provide the following public benefits in exchange for valuable
development rights (nine -year entitlement)
1 Development of a property that is currently vacant and unused
2 Increasing and further stabilizing the City's tax base through development of new
commercial businesses
3 Increasing City revenues through the generation of taxes that outweigh the City
cost of services
4 Increase in employment opportunities for the City's citizenry.
5 Development of a project that will increase the use of the MTA Green Line
15 154
6 Development of a project that is consistent with the elements of the General
Plan
7 Dedication of a one -acre site for the relocation of Fire Station No 2
8 Contribution of one or more shuttle vans to the City for the expansion of City
operated public transit routes
9 Construction of a Bike Station adjacent to the Nash - Manposa Green Line Station
10 Acquisition of approximately five acres of land for public recreational facilities at
below market costs.
11 Parking for the public park site would be provided by the applicant, thereby
reducing the City's development costs for the construction of a park site
12 The project would reduce the maximum permitted floor area ratio on the property
from 1 3 1 to 0.99 1
B The project is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for,
the land use district in which the real property is located The proposed project includes
a specific plan, which establishes the permitted uses and development standards that
would apply to the project These uses and development standards are similar and
compatible with the existing uses and standards permitted in the current MU -N zoning
on the property
C The project is in conformity with the public convenience, general welfare and good land
use practice, as described in Section 4 and 8 A of this Resolution The proposed
reduced project permits a lower floor area ratio than allowed under the existing MU -N
zoning (0.99 vs 1 31) The project would facilitate constructing a new fire station,
through the dedication of land The project would also be designed to support and
encourage public transportation uses and contribute to the continued diversification of
the northeast quadrant of the City by providing a broad range of commercial uses
D The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare, As
established in the factual findings in this Resolution, the proposed project will not create
any negative environmental impacts, with the exception of traffic impacts at two already
congested intersections and air quality impacts due to mobile sources The City Council
is responsible for determining if there are overriding considerations, which outweigh the
identified unavoidable environmental consequences of the project
E The project will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the
preservation of property values The proposed specific plan and development agreement
will ensure that the project will be developed in an orderly fashion All mitigation
measures will be implemented at the time and place impacts occur The Development
Agreement is consistent with the purposes of the proposed Corporate Campus Specific
Plan and the current MU -N Zone, and it is compatible with its surrounding developments
The project will promote public convenience, general welfare, and good land use
practice, will not create any unmitigated environmental impacts which would be injurious
to the health, safety and general welfare of the community, except for certain
unavoidable traffic and air quality impacts, and would serve to improve property values
in the area by providing a long -term master plan for the project site.
SECTION 8 Subdivision Findings
A The proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No 53570 is consistent with applicable
general and specific plans as specified in Government Code § 65451. Each proposed lot
16 155
will be consistent with the minimum lot size and minimum street frontage requirements
proposed in the Corporate Campus Specific Plan All parcels will have frontage on a
public street or a private internal roadway
B The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable
general and specific plans Each proposed lot would be consistent in size and lot
frontage as other parcels in the surrounding area
C The site is physically suitable for the type of development The vacant 46 53 -acre parcel
of land is generally flat and has been graded following the demolition of the previous
development on the site The proposed project is physically accessible by existing
streets and the MTA Green Line
D The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development While the floor
area ratio of two of the proposed 26 parcels would have densities exceeding 3.0 1, due
to the requirement that the overall FAR in the proposed Corporate Campus Specific Plan
not exceed an overall FAR of 0.99:1, the density of individual parcels will not be
detrimental to the overall project or the surrounding area
E The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat The proposed project is located in a built out urban environment with no
threatened fish or wildlife habitats located on the project site The proposed layout of the
development does not contribute to the unavoidable significant traffic and air quality
impacts identified in the Draft EIR With the implementation of the appropriate mitigation
measures, the proposed subdivision will not cause any significant environmental
impacts, with the exception of unavoidable traffic and air quality impacts Those
mitigation measures identified in the Draft EIR have been incorporated into the Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program
F The design of the subdivision or type of improvements are not likely to cause serious
public health problems The size and shape of all lots will protect public health The
proposed internal roadway to serve the subdivision will be designed to provide safe and
efficient vehicle and pedestrian movements throughout the project site Subdivision
improvements will be required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act
G The design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements,
acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision The project applicant will relocate or build over the exiting sewer easement
on the property The MTA aerial easement will not be disturbed by the design of the
proposed project The project will also include a system of private internal roadways to
provide public access to all the buildings throughout the subdivision
SECTION 9 Administrative Use Permit Findings
A There is 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 The on -site sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages is consistent with
restaurants and hotels facilities Most, if not all of the restaurants and hotels in the
northeast quadrant of the City, permit the on -site sale and consumption of alcohol
17 156
B The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone in which
the site is located The on -site sale and consumption of alcohol is compatible with
restaurants and hotels, which are permitted uses in the proposed Corporate Campus
Specific Plan
C The proposed location and use and the conditions under which the use would be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or
materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity The on -site sale and
consumption of alcohol would be permitted at indoor and outdoor dining establishments,
subject to the approval of licenses to sell alcohol issued by the State Department of
Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC)
D Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise, smoke,
dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic and hazards have been recognized and
compensated for There would be no adverse environmental impacts associated with the
on -site sale and consumption of alcohol
E The State Department of Alcohol Beverage Control will issue a license to sell alcohol to
the applicant The City will require evidence that all establishments have alcohol licenses
issued by ABC prior to commencement of on -site sale of alcohol

CORPORATE CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
A. SPECIFIC PLAN BOUNDARY
The Corporate Campus Specific Plan (CCSP) area is located to the City of El Segundo, County of
Los Angeles, California (see Exhibit 1) El Segundo is situated 15 miles southwest of downtown
Los Angeles It is located south of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), east of the Pacific
Ocean, north of the City of Manhattan Beach, and west of the City of Hawthorne
More specifically, the roughly rectangular 46.5 -acre site is located in the northeast portion of the City
of El Segundo, approximately 0.5 miles south of the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) The
site is bounded by Atwood Way and the elevated MTA Green Line to the north, Douglas Street to the
east, Mariposa Avenue to the south, and Nash Street and the elevated MTA Green Line to the west
(see Exhibit 2).
B. SPECIFIC PLAN SCOPE AND GOALS
The Corporate Campus Specific Plan consists of a mixed -use development program that would
accommodate a range of uses, heights, and building square footages The Specific Plan area is
designed to accommodate up to approximately 2,175,000 gross square feet of buildings and
associated parking on approximately 46 5 acres of land (see Exhibit 3) Uses may include (but are
not limited to) office, research and development, light industnal/manufactunng, laboratories,
