PROPERTY INVOLVED- Introduction February 22, 2001 Environmental Assessment No. 535, Development Agreement No. 00 -2, and General Plan Amendment No. 00 -2 Legacy Partners W9 /SEP Real Estate Limited Partnership Development Agreement for demolition of vacant office and construction of new office building. 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard The proposed project is a ten -year Development Agreement between the City of El Segundo and W9 /SEP Real Estate Limited Partnership and a General Plan Amendment for the demolition of an existing vacant 12 -story 140,000 square foot building and construction of a new six -story 120,610 square foot office budding The property is located at 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard in the Corporate Office (CO) Zone Recommendation Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the facts as contained within this report, and adopt Resolution No. 2496 (Exhibit A), recommending approval of Environmental Assessment No. 535. Staff also recommends that the Commission adopt Draft Resolution No. 2497 (Exhibit B) recommending approval of the proposed Development Agreement No 00 -2 with a maximum floor area ratio of 0 8 1, and recommending denial of General Plan Amendment No 00 -2 1 45 III. Background The proposed project is a Development Agreement (Exhibit C) for demolition of an existing 12 -story, 140,000 square foot vacant office building and the construction of a new six -story, approximately 120,610 square foot office building at the same location Parking would be provided in an existing six -story parking structure at 892 North Sepulveda Boulevard, which also serves a recently renovated 89,000 square foot office budding at 898 North Sepulveda Boulevard Refer to photo simulations (Exhibit D) The proposed Development Agreement includes the following provisions 1) An existing temporary airport park- and -nde business located in the parking structure at 892 North Sepulveda Boulevard would be permanently discontinued The airport park- and -nde use was approved through Environmental Assessment No 356 and Administrative Use Permit (AUP) No 94 -6 (Exhibit E) in 1994 The AUP allowed the airport park- and -nde use as an interim use of the 817 spaces in the parking structure while the two office buildings at 888 and 898 North Sepulveda Boulevard were vacant The AUP requires that once these buildings become occupied, the airport park- and -nde operation would have to be discontinued, since the parking structure would once again be required to meet the parking requirements for the two office buildings 2) The required number of loading spaces for the proposed project would be reduced from three to two and the size of the required loading spaces would be reduced from 13 feet in width by 50 feet in length to 13 feet in width by 30 feet in length 3) A General Plan Amendment is proposed to permit the proposed office building to establish a floor area ratio (FAR) for the protect of 1.0861, which is greater than the maximum 0 8 1 FAR permitted in the Corporate Office land use designation The proposed office budding would be smaller than the existing office building This proposed General Plan Amendment would not increase the maximum FAR in the entire Corporate Office land use designation, it would only affect this property 4) The proposed Development Agreement contains an offer by the applicant to contribute $150,000 to the City as a public benefit to facilitate aesthetic, landscaping, and other improvements along Sepulveda Boulevard. The original application and public hearing notice included a request for approval of an alternative scenano in which the existing 140,000 square foot office budding would be converted into a 300 -room hotel use The applicant has withdrawn that portion of the application and only seeks approval of the Development Agreement and General Plan Amendment to allow for the construction of the new office budding to replace the existing office budding. 2 46 IV. Analysis Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses The proposed project is located within the northeast portion of the City of El Segundo, with convenient access to the San Diego (1 -405) Freeway and Glenn Anderson (1 -105) Freeway This portion of the City is designated as an office and commercial region, which primarily contains the single tenant and mixed -use office buildings, as well as light industrial and hotel uses. The proposed project site is currently developed with a 12 -story, 140,000 square foot vacant office budding, built in 1969, commonly known as 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard The proposed project site also includes an 817 space, six - story parking structure at 892 North Sepulveda Boulevard adjacent to the existing building, which is the subject of this request An eight -story, 89,000 square foot building, commonly known as 898 North Sepulveda Boulevard is located on the adjacent parcel to the north of the 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard budding The 888 North Sepulveda Budding was built in 1979 and has recently undergone a $7,200,000 renovation by the proposed protect applicant. The existing parking structure would provide parking supply to serve both the office use at 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard, as well as the recently renovated 898 North Sepulveda Boulevard building As the 898 North Sepulveda Boulevard building is owned by the protect applicant, it is considered an integral part of this project, as the design of the proposed 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard office building will relate and match with the recently remodeled building The 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard building currently contains asbestos - containing materials (ACM), requires structural reinforcement to meet current seismic building code requirements, and has obsolete building systems (plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and elevators). The proposed office site is covered virtually in its entirety with buildings and paved surfaces and generally slopes toward the southeast corner of the property. The site is sparsely landscaped, with no significant trees or other landscaping on the site. There are no items of cultural, historical or scenic significance or aspects on the site. The proposed project site is generally surrounded by commercial and industrial uses The areas located to the south, east and north of the proposed project site are developed with low -rise industrial buildings with minimal landscaping. Most of the buildings are from the 1950s and 1960s and have undergone minimal improvements visually from the outside Directly across the street on Sepulveda Boulevard is a Bank of America, and a vacant older brick medical office building. Farther west of the Bank of America on Walnut Avenue, is a newer six -story, 118,532 square foot office building called E Tech Center Diametrically opposite from the site at the northwest comer of Walnut Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard are two older office towers and a parking structure One of the towers is currently occupied by Boeing Satellite Systems, while the other building was built in the 3 47 1960s and is currently undergoing a major renovation. There are no items of cultural, historical or scenic significance in the surrounding area There is also no evidence of animal life since all the land is either developed or paved. The surrounding land uses may be summarized as follows Land Use North: Office, R & D, industrial South: Office East: industrial R & D West: Office, Residential Zone Corporate Office (CO) Corporate Office (CO) Corporate Office (CO) Corporate Office (CO) and Multi -Family Residential (R -3) The following site development standards apply to new projects in the CO Zone Setbacks Front (Grand Avenue) 25' min 25' Interior (North & South) 15' min 3l' -49' Rear (East) 10' mm 97' min.

Agr.) 13' by 50' 13' by 30' " (Dev. Agr.) The proposed office building would exceed the maximum 0 8 FAR in the CO Zone A General Plan Amendment is proposed to modify the Corporate Office land use designation to allow this property to exceed the maximum 0 8 FAR limit This Amendment would only apply to subject property The building would also be smaller than the existing legal non - conforming office building, which is currently at a 1 26 FAR The Development Agreement would permit a reduction in the required number of loading spaces from three to two and a reduction in the required length of the loading spaces from 50 feet to 30 feet General Plan Consistency The General Plan land use designation for the site is Corporate Office This designation allows offices, restaurants, and research and development The proposed use is permitted in the CO Zone The maximum FAR permitted in the Corporate Office land use designation is 0.8-1 The existing FAR is 1.26.1 and the proposed FAR would be 1 086 1 The proposed new office budding structure would exceed the current maximum 0 8-1 FAR in the Corporate Office land use designation A maximum of 88,862 square feet could be built under the current FAR standard. Even though the current office budding (140,000 square feet) is larger than the proposed budding (120,610 square feet), the legal non - conforming rights to this larger amount of floor area would be lost when the office budding is demolished. At that point, all future construction must comply with the current density standards in the General Plan Since the proposed office budding would exceed the maximum FAR by approximately 31,476 square feet, it would not be consistent with the General Plan Consequently, the applicant has requested an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Element to increase the maximum allowed FAR in the Corporate Office land use designation for this property. The proposed amendment would 5 49 only apply to the subject property and would not increase the FAR throughout the whole Corporate Office land use designation. Therefore, if the proposed amendment were approved, the density of the proposed office development would be consistent with the amended General Plan. While staff believes a new office use would be consistent with and further the goals of the Corporate Office land use designation, the use of a General Plan Amendment to increase the permitted density of one property in the Corporate Office land use designation would essentially amount to "spot zoning" and potentially set a negative precedent for future land use development. When the General Plan was adopted in 1992, it established a maximum development envelope under which all future development was expected to be contained As presented to staff, the need for the additional floor area beyond the maximum 88,862 square feet that could be constructed under the 0 8 FAR in the Corporate Office designation is based on financial considerations to offset the high cost of demolishing the existing structure that has a large amount of asbestos The City is being asked to forgo the General Plan density limits in order for the developer to replace an obsolete building with a "Class A" office budding Staff has been told that without the increased density, the office scenano would not be a financially viable project When balancing the ments of the office scenano with the impact on the goals and objectives of the General Plan, staff believes that approval of the General Plan Amendment would not be good land use planning and it would be detrimental to the long term development of the City. Consequently, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the General Plan Amendment to the City Council. Development Agreement Criteria Section 65864 of the California Government Code authonzes the City to enter into Development Agreements with property owners to ensure projects may be built in accordance with the applicable policies, rules, and regulations at the time of approval of the project A Development Agreement may specify the duration of the Agreement, permitted uses of the property, and provisions for dedications of land for public purposes The proposed Development Agreement sets a ten -year duration of the Agreement, and established exceptions to the Corporate Office Zone development standards for the project These are the number loading spaces and the minimum size of loading spaces The development agreement proposed to permit two loading spaces to meet the requirements of the Zoning Code instead of three spaces The size of the two loading spaces would also be 13 feet in width and 30 feet in depth, instead of 15 feet in width and 50 feet in depth. The proposed Development Agreement offers two primary benefits to the City First, the proposed Development Agreement would enable the elimination of an obsolete building and replacement with a new image enhancing development 50 project within the northern portion of the City The applicant has also proposed contributing $150,000 toward the funding of several City projects along Sepulveda Boulevard that would provide a public benefit (e.g. Sepulveda median landscaping and Sepulveda banner poles) Staff has prepared a fiscal impact analysis of the proposed project (Exhibit G), which estimates that the proposed project would provide a negligible annual marginal fiscal cost to the City of approximately $1,100 after five years compared to the existing vacant office building and airport park- and -nde use The Planning Commission is authorized by City Council Resolution No 3268 to make a recommendation to the City Council to approve a Development Agreement if the following findings can be made 1 The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan, 2 The project is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district in which the real property is located, 3 The project is in conformity with the public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice, 4 The protect will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare, and 5 The project will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values Staff believes the proposed Development Agreement provides limited public benefits to the City, while granting a significant development right to the applicant (i a approximately 31,000 square feet of floor area above the maximum FAR in the CO Zone) Staff believes there is no land use constraint that would prevent the applicant from effectively developing a smaller office building As currently proposed, the Development Agreement grants a reduction in the number and size of loading spaces and ten years to build the project in addition to the increased FAR Staff believes the $150,00 contribution toward public infrastructure and aesthetic improvements alono Sepulveda Boulevard does not outweigh the primary benefit (increased FAR) that the development would receive. Without the increased FAR, the Development Agreement would be more balanced between public benefit ($150,000 infrastructure contribution) and private entitlement (ten -year term and loading space reductions) 7 5f Staff has seen recently that three other seemingly obsolete, vacant office buildings have been renovated and brought back onto the market without the need of special entitlements An office building at 2300 East Imperial Highway and 898 North Sepulveda Boulevard were in similar conditions as 888 North Sepulveda and have been successfully renovated The office building at 999 North Sepulveda Boulevard is also in the process of being renovated without the need for discretionary entitlements or density bonuses beyond what the General Plan and Zoning Code authorize for existing buildings According to the applicant, if the existing office building were renovated, it would not be possible to bring the building up to "Class A" office standards because the budding has low floor -to -floor heights which can not be modified. Based on these factors, staff believes the proposed Development Agreement would not meet all the criteria for approval, due to the limited benefit afforded to the City in the agreement in exchange for the valuable development rights that would be granted Additionally, the proposed Development Agreement would not be consistent with the General Plan without the proposed General Plan Amendment Approval of the project at such a scale would not be good land use practice and would adversely impact the orderly development of the Corporate Office Zone by allowing one building to exceed the FAR when other project have not been permitted to increase density Consequently, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council modify the proposed Development Agreement to reduce the proposed FAR to a maximum of 0.8 1 as allowed in the CO Zone Interdepartmental Comments The project plans, draft Development Agreement, and draft Initial Study were circulated to all inter - departmental staff and their comments are attached to the report (Exhibit H) The Library, and Recreation and Parks Departments, as well as the City Manager and Building Safety Manger, had no comments on the project The comments of the Finance Director related to the onginal hotel scenano, which has been withdrawn by the applicant The Public Works Department commented that any construction work in the Sepulveda Boulevard nght -of -way would require approval and encroachment permits from Caltrans Since Sepulveda Boulevard is a state highway (Highway 1), Caltrans has jurisdiction over construction within the nght -of -way It is not anticipated that any construction work would be required to take place in Sepulveda Boulevard. A condition of approval has been added to Draft Resolution No 2496 and No 2497 to require Cattrans approval of construction work in the Sepulveda Boulevard right -of -way The Police Department provided comments related to lighting issues, stairwell exits, elevator lobby security, addressing, and guestroom security hardware The Fire Department commented (Exhibit H) that the new office budding might also 8 S� be considered as a high -rise (over 55 feet in height), which would require enhanced fire life safety systems beyond those required for a shorter building. The project will be conditioned to comply with all local and State requirements for fire protection V. Environmental Review A revised Draft Initial Study (Exhibit F) was prepared by staff for the protect, based on an Initial Study applicant questionnaire prepared for the applicant by Christopher A Joseph & Associates The original Draft Initial Study included analysis of the proposed hotel conversion, which has been withdrawn by the applicant The revised Initial Study includes analysis of the office only The Initial Study identified potential adverse environmental impacts related to hazards & hazardous materials, noise, and transportation/traffic No significant adverse environmental impacts were identified which could not be mitigated to an insignificant level, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is proposed The original Draft Initial Study was circulated for inter - departmental review and comments, as required by City Council Resolution No 3805 and State CEQA guidelines. All departments have concurred with the staff recommendation to approve a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact The existing office building contains Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM), which may become hazardous if disturbed During demolition of the existing office building, the ACMs will be required to be removed and disposed of in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations. With the imposition of Mitigation Measure No 4, the potential impact of asbestos would be less than significant. A noise impact analysis was prepared by Terry A. Hayes & Associates for the applicant to study the noise impact of the proposed project on the environment and to determine the impact of existing noise sources (i e. Los Angeles International Airport) on the occupants of the project to ensure that the project could be constructed and operated without significant noise impacts. The study concluded that the proposed project would not create significant noise impact on the environment and the construction materials would protect the occupants of the proposed project from potentially significant exterior noise levels Finally, the Draft Initial Study analyzed potential traffic impacts from the proposed project A Traffic Impact Study was prepared for the applicant by RKJK & Associates, a licensed traffic engineering firm The study examined the impact of the traffic generation on the intersections in the surrounding area. The report concluded that the increase in trip generation for would not significantly impact traffic circulation or the operation of any intersection in the surrounding area 9 5� Vi. Conclusion Based on the analysis contained in this report, staff recommends that the Commission adopt Draft Resolution No. 2496 recommending that the City Council approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts (Environmental Assessment No 535) for the proposed project, subject to the conditions contained therein Staff also recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Draft Resolution No. 2497, recommending approval of a Development Agreement No 00-2 subject to a reduction in floor area ratio for the proposed budding from 1.086 1 to 0 8:1 and denial of the associated General Plan Amendment No 00 -2, subject to the conditions contained therein VII.

colored canopy and mullion system along with colored concrete and limestone composite material at the base of the building all of which would be similar to the adjacent office budding Parking for the facility would be provided within the existing 6 -story parking structure located at 892 North Sepulveda Boulevard adjacent to the proposed office building A total of 835 parking spaces. or approximately 4 0 spaces per 1 000 square feet, would be provided within this structure This .1 total would exceed the City requirement of 576 total parking spaces for the proposed new office building as well as the recently renovated office budding at 898 North Sepulveda Boulevard which is also served by this parking structure The facility will also provide two loading dock spaces of 13 feet by 30 feet at the rear of the building which is an exception to the loading dock requirements of three loading docks with dimensions of 13 feet by 50 feet Because the existing General Plan land use designation, which applies to the proposed project site, would only allow construction of an 88,000 square foot building, an amendment to the General Plan to permit the additional budding square footage which is sought by the applicant, is also being requested This amendment would apply to this specific project site 9 Surrounding Land Uses and Setting (Briefly describe the project's surroundings) The proposed project site is currently developed with a 140,000 square foot 12 -story vacant office buttding, built in 1969 commonly known as 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard The proposed project site also includes an 817 space, 6 -story parking structure adjacent to the existing 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard building (see Photo 2) An 8 -story, 89,000 square foot building commonly known as 898 North Sepulveda Boulevard is located on the adjacent parcel to the north of the 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard budding This building was built in 1979 and has recently undergone a S7 2 million dollar renovation by the proposed project applicant As the B98 North Sepulveda Boulevard budding is owned by the project applicant, it is considered an integral part of this project as the design of the proposed 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard office bu ldinc will relate and match with the recently remodeled budding The 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard budding currently contains asbestos - containing materials, requires structural reinforcement to meet current seismic budding code requirements, and has cosolete building systems (plumbing electrical, mechanical, and elevators) The existing parking structure would provide parking to serve the proposed office use at 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard as well as the recently renovated 898 North Sepulveda Boulevard building The proposed office site is covered virtually in its entirety with buildings and paved surfaces and generally slopes toward the southeast comer of the property The site is sparsely ancscaped with no significant trees or other landscaping on the site There are no items of cultural historical or scenic significance or aspects on the site The proposec project site is generally surrounded by commercial and industrial uses The areas located to the south east and north of the proposed project site is composed of low -rise industrial buildings with minimal landscaping Most of the buildings are from the 1950's and 1960 s and have undergone minimal improvements visually from the outside Directly across the street on Sepulveda Boulevard is a Bank of America, and an older brick medical office building Farther west of the Bank of America on Walnut Avenue, is a newer 6 -story, 118,532 square foot office budding called E Tech Cente, Diametrically opposite from the site at the northwest corner of Walnut and Sepulveda Boulevard are two older office towers and a parking structure One of the towers is currently occupied by Boeing Satellite Systems, while the other building was built in the 1960 s and is undergoing renovations There are no items of cultural, historical or scenic significance in the surrounding area There is also no evidence of animal life since all the land is either developed or paved 9 Other Public Agencies Whose Approval is Required (e g, permits, financing approval, or participation agreement ) None 2 61 11.

impact With Impact A significant impact may occur if a proposed project were to increase water consumption to such a degree that new water sources would need to be identified, or that existing resources would be consumed at a pace greater than planned for by Mtnpation demand for the proposed project, as described in Section 8, above No impact to water service would occur With implementation of C t. waste reduction measures and the project mitigation measures below, no significant impact would occur Inc ted Economic and Development Services to reduce the volume of solid waste going to landfills A significant Impact may occur if a proposed project were to increase solid waste generation to a degree that existing and projected landfill capacity would be insufficient to accommodate the additional solid waste Solid waste generated in the project area is typically disposed at the Puente Hills Landfill, in Whittier and the Nu -Way Live Oak Landfill, in Irwindale, however, other landfills serving commercial properties located within the City are also available for solid waste disposal Facility expansions and new landfills are being sought as existing facility capacity diminishes Also, mandatory City waste reduct-o -, and recycling programs, such as the Source Reduction and Recycling Program (in compliance with the 1 September 1989 California Integrated Solid Waste Management Act, SB 939) are greatly reducing the amount of waste I that would otherwise have entered area landfills A significant impact may occur if a proposed project were to increase water consumption to such a degree that new water sources would need to be identified, or that existing resources would be consumed at a pace greater than planned for by purveyors, distributors and service providers The Department of Public Works is anticipated to be able to meet the water demand for the proposed project, as described in Section 8, above No impact to water service would occur With implementation of C t. waste reduction measures and the project mitigation measures below, no significant impact would occur MM -15 A recycling program shall be instituted for the project to the satisfaction of the Director of Community, Economic and Development Services to reduce the volume of solid waste going to landfills MM -16 Recycling bins shall be provided at appropriate locations to

substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species cause a fisn or wildlife population to drop below self - sustaining levels threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community reduce the X numbe• or restnc- the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history o' prehistory b i Does the project nave impacts that are individually limited but cumulatively considerable? (- Cumulatively considerable- means that the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed in X connection with the effects of the past projects the effects of other current projects and the effects of probable future projects) c Does the project have environmental effects which will Cause s.Astantial adverse effects on human beings either directly or X indirectly? A s,cndicant impact may occur only if a project would have an identified potentially significant impact for any of the above issues as discussed in the preceding sections The proposed project is located in a densely populated urban area The plocosed project would have no unmitigated significant impacts with respect to biological resources and less than s cn ficant cultural resource impacts provided the mitigation measures listed above are implemented The proposed crojeci would not degrade the quality of the environment reduce or threaten any fish or wildlife species (endangered or oinerwise) or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or pre - history A s cn ficant impact would occur only if a proposed project were to result in short-term environmental effects that would substantially affect or preclude the ability of a jurisdiction to achieve long -term environmental goals The proposed project cues not include any significant short-term environmental effects that cannot be mitigated and therefore would not impact tc acn.evemem of long -term environmental goals No impact would occur 26 84 Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Lc man L�s rmn significant Signiftcam Sipttftcam trvact With Impact Mitigation I significant impact may occur if a project, in conjunction with other related protects In the area of the project site, would result in impacts which are less than significant when viewed separately, but would be significant when viewed together Although there are other past, current and probable future protects in the area surrounding the protect site, the project's contribution to cumulative traffic, air quality, and other impact areas would be de mlmmis (i e , environmental conditions would essentially be the same whether or not the proposed protect is implemented) A significant impact may occur if a protect has the potential to result in significant impacts, as discussed in the preceding sections As noted in the evaluations above the proposed protect would not result in any unmitigated significant impacts Tnjs the proposed protect would not have the potential to result in substantial adverse effects on human beings 27 P 5 Draft Mitigation Measures Air Quailty MM -1 The applicant shall implement Transportation Demand Management (TDM) programs and adopt Transportation System Management (TSM) plans and provide incentives for the provision of transit support facilities in accordance with SCAQMD and City regulations Cultural Resources NIM -2 In the event Ina' paleontological or arcnaeological resources are encountered during the course of grading, all development mus' cease in tnese areas until the paleontological or archaeological resources are properly assessed and subsequent recommendations are determined by a qualified paleontologist or archaeological Geology and Soils ,%l 3 Tne deve opme— sna' conform to the Ca ,'orn a Building Code Hazards and Hazardous Materials 610.1 -< Al ice n ;�nec ACM19 snau be removes in accordance with all federal, state, SCAQMD and local regulations by an asbestos aoate rent contracto, who is cell f ed by anc registered CALIOSHA for removal of asbestos If any sL.soec' asbestos containing materials no' previously identified are encountered during demolition, these Ta,e-,a s v o ,'c be required to be same ec by a qualified person and analyzed by an accredited laboratory If : -ese -

Chairman Kretzmer s inquiry, Mr Hansen stated that limiting the project to the existing conditions within the General Plan for the FAR makes the new, six -story building proposal financially impractical, and explained that if the Applicant is not able to gain approval for the new, six -story building, the Applicant will most likely proceed with the alternative plan to rehabilitate the existing budding In order for the Planning Commission to deviate from the General Plan, Vice- Chairman Kretzmer explained for the Applicant that he must provide strong evidence which would support and justify a deviation from the General Plan, and he expressed concern that granting the Applicants request could set a precedence for future applicants requesting similar proposals - El Segundo Planning Comrtussion Minutes, February 22, 2001 130 DRAFT Mr Hansen reiterated what he believes the project supports varying from the General Plan — a smaller, more attractive building which has a decreased impact upon traffic In response to Commissioner Rickard's inquiry, Mr Datos, Project Architect, explained that the reduction from three loading spaces to two loading spaces should be sufficient for the type of current traffic use on site, stated that the bulk of deliveries are currently being handled offsite and are not utilized within this area — believing that this scenario will effectively work for this type of market and product, and noted that the size of the loading spaces adequately accommodates the typical UPS or Federal Express vehicles Believing that loading space will be needed from time to time for semi - trucks on this site, Chairman Crowley suggested that three loading spaces be developed instead of two loading spaces, and suggested that the size of one loading space be increased in order to be able to provide an additional space for semi- trucks Chairman Crowley stated that the loadingfunloading of trucks should not cause any inconveniences to individuals utilizing this site Mr Datos explained that there currently exists plenty of room for semi - trucks to access the site and safely maneuver, and pointed out that a lot of the businesses moving onto or from this property occurs after -hours and that these activities should not impact traffic flow. Mr. Datos explained that the bulk of the parking comes off of Walnut Avenue into the parking structure, that these activities will not have an impact upon traffic flow, and stated that additional space is available to accommodate more loading space if it should be required — pointing out that they currently exceed parking requirements Mr Hansen noted for Vice- Chairman Kretzmer that the Applicant would be amenable to a restriction that the larger semi- trucks only utilize the areas for deliveries in the off - business hours There being no further input, Chairman Crowley closed the public hearing in regard to this matter Vice - Chairman Kretzmer stated that the Applicant has made some valid points for tearing down the old, unattractive budding for a new, smaller building, noted that he believes this is somewhat of a unique situation which should meet consideration of varying from the existing FAR in the General Plan, and expressed his belief that the new budding will have a more superior aesthetic impact than rehabilitating the old building El Segundo Planning Commission Minutes, February 22, 2001 131 DRAFT Vice - Chairman Kretzmer reiterated his concern with the possibility of setting a precedent, questioning whether a solid case can be made to conclude that this is unique enough to warrant varying from the current FAR. Commissioner Rickard expressed his belief that the ten -year timeline for the development agreement is too long, and stated that limiting it from five to seven years would be more logical Assistant City Attorney Luebberke mentioned that a ten -year development agreement is generally not out of the ordinary but that in this case, he believes that it is a little excessive Addressing Commissioner Rickard's concern with the parking structure and future changes in ownership of the buildings, Planning Manager Ketz stated that a parking covenant would be required for a lot split to be placed on this site Chairman Crowley reopened the public hearing in regard to this matter Mr Hansen, responding to Commissioner Rickard's concern, explained that there currently exists a recorded CCBR which rides with the life of the structure Chairman Crowley suggested that the Applicant consider purchasing the railroad right -of -way at the back of the property, which would decrease the FAR requirement Mr Hansen expressed his belief that a similar option had been explored previously and that it was not available at that time, but noted that it will be explored once again The public hearing was closed in regard to this matter Planning Manager Ketz, responding to Vice- Chairman Kretzmer's question, explained that as a result of the proposed decrease in square footage for the new building, the traffic analysis reflects that traffic impacts will be insignificant Vice - Chairman Kretzmer stated that because some broad evidence /issues have been identified to support the uniqueness of this proposal, he would be in favor of the variance from the current restrictions in the FAR for this project, but pointed out that in doing so, it is incumbent upon the Planning Commission to detail the uniqueness of this project and why it ments a deviation 4 El Segundo Planning Conmussion Minutes, February 22, 2001 132 !:_ 1 Vice- Chairman Kretzmer stated that the Applicant's proposal will beautify this site and create less of a traffic impact. Chairman Crowley expressed his belief that granting the Applicant's request creates spot zoning; that he does not believe the Applicant has presented any justification for a variance, commented on his concern with setting a precedence, reiterated his suggestion that the Applicant investigate the possibility of purchasing the railroad right -of -way; and stated that he would like to see some improvements with trucking activities on site Chairman Crowley stated that he does not see the need for the $150,000 donation and suggested that the Applicant use this money for the possible purchase of the railroad right -of -way Commissioner Rickard noted his concurrence with staffs recommendation, expressed his preference that donations from Applicants not be associated with applications, and stated that this Applicant has not provided a compelling case this evening for the FAR exception Commissioner Mahler noted his opposition to spot zoning, commented on the possibility of setting a precedence, and expressed his belief that this case is not unique enough to warrant a deviation from the General Plan Commissioner Frick expressed her support of staffs recommendation Vice-Chairman Kretzmer expressed his belief that the Planning Commission should not take an absolute /inflexible stance when considering sensitive issues such as this — pointing out that projects like this may well deserve some additional consideration He noted the value of removing old, unattractive buildings in the City, and commented on the Planning Commission's obligation to consider under different and varying circumstances whether a proposal makes sense over all in what the City is trying to achieve Chairman Crowley requested that three loading spaces be provided, suggested that the Applicant limit the size of one loading space to at least accommodate one semi -truck at all times, with regard to Master Page No 016, Item 3, he noted his preference that the words "reduced from three to two loading spaces" be deleted, with regard to Master Page 017, Item 9, that it read "fossil fuel filters ", with regard to Master Page 017, Item 10, that the word "detention" be replaced with the word 'retention ", with regard to Master Page No 017, Item 13, requested that more specific language be included to reflect what type of safety alarm systems are to be installed, and with regard to Master Page No 020, that Item 5 be deleted El Segundo Planning Commission Minutes, Februan 22, 2001 133 DRAFT Planning Manager Ketz advised that if the Planning Commission concurs with Chairman Crowley's comments, the same amendments will be made in both Resolutions for this proposal The Planning Commission supported Chairman Crowley's changes Commissioner Frick moved, seconded by Commissioner Mahler, to adopt Resolution No 2497, approving Development Agreement No. 00- 2, with the above - mentioned (page no 5) modifications made by Chairman Crowley, and to deny General Plan Amendment No 00 -2 Motion carved, with Vice - Chairman Kretzmer voting no Commissioner Rickard moved, seconded by Commissioner Mahler, to MOTION adopt Resolution No 2496, with the above - mentioned (page no 5) modifications made by Chairman Crowley Motion camed, with Vice - Chairman Kretzmer voting no Chairman Crowley presented Item 1 -3, Environmental Assessment No 529, Conditional Use Permit No 00 -8 and Variance No 00 -5 Address 216 East Imperial Avenue Applicant Sprint PCS, c/o JM Consulting Group Property Owner Monte Ung Planning Technician Huerta reviewed staff report (of record) related to this matter, and noted the following changes to staff report: heights should reflect that the lowest height on the structure is currently 30 feet and that the proposal is to increase that height to 35 feet, and that the highest point on the structure is currently 44 feet and that the proposal is to increase that height to 49 feet Planning Technician Huerta noted for Commissioner Mahler that this is not a pre- approved location for a cell site Planning Technician Huerta stated that the Applicant is planning to construct a five -foot high parapet wall (constructed of ngid matenal) around the perimeter of the roof Chairman Crowley opened the public hearing in regard to this matter.

evidence with the authority and cnteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act, State CEQA Guidelines and the City of El Segundo Guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Resolution No 3805) and adopted Resolution No 2496 recommending approval of a Mitigated Declaration of Environmental Impacts for the proposed project, and, WHEREAS, at the duly scheduled meeting of the Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo on February 8 and 22, 2001 duly advertised public heanngs were held on this matter in the Council Cnamoer of the City Hall 350 Main Street and WHEREAS, opportunity was given to all persons present to speak for or against the findings of Environmental Assessment No 535 Development Agreement No 00 -2, and General Plan Amendment No 00 -2, and, WHEREAS, at said hearing the following facts were established The proposed project is a ten -year Development Agreement (DA No 00 -2) between the City of EI Segundo and W91SEP Real Estate Limited Partnership for demolition of an existing vacant 12- story 140 000 square foot office building and construction of a new six -story 120,610 square foot office budding in its place An existing temporary airport park- and -nde business located in the parking structure at 892 North Sepulveda Boulevard would be permanently discontinued The airport park- and -nde use was approved

would be reduced from 13 feet in width by 50 feet in length to 13 feet in width by 30 feet in length A General Plan Amendment Is proposed to permit the proposed office budding to establish a floor area ratio (FAR) for the project of 1 086 1, which is greater than the maximum 0.8.1 FAR permitted in the Corporate Office land use designation The proposed office budding would be smaller than the existing office building This proposed General Plan Amendment would not increase the maximum FAR in the entire Corporate Office land use designation, it would only affect this property NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after considering the above facts and study of proposed Environmental Assessment No 535 and Development Agreement No 00 -2, and General Plan Amendment No 00 -2, the Planning Commission finds as follows ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT On February 22, 2001, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No 2496, recommending approval of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of environmental impacts for the proposed project GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING CONSISTENCY Since the proposed new office budding structure would exceed the maximum FAR in the Corporate Office land use designation by approximately 31,476 square feet, it would not be consistent with the General Plan, without an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Element to Increase the density allowed on the property Since the proposed amendment would only apply to the subject property and would not increase the FAR throughout the whole Corporate Office land use designation, the proposed amendment would create an Internally Inconsistent density standard The proposed General Plan Amendment would be "spot zoning" and conflict with the uniform density standards in all the other land use designations In the City DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT The portions of the Development Agreement requesting approval of an increase in the floor area ratio to 1 086 1 are not consistent with the goals, policies and objectives of the General Plan because the Development Agreement provides minimal public benefits to the City, while granting a significant development right to the applicant (i a approximately 31,000 square feet of floor area) There is no land use constraint that would prevent the applicant from effectively developing a smaller office building, above the maximum FAR in the CO Zone without the need for a FAR increase proposed in the Development Agreement As proposed, the Development Agreement grants a reduction in the size of loading spaces and ten years to build the project There is a limited public benefit proposed by the applicant (replacement of an obsolete building) in the Development Agreement in exchange for the valuable development nghts that the applicant would receive (ten -year entitlement and increased FAR) The project, as proposed, is not good land use planning because the Development Agreement relies on the approval of a General Plan Amendment to increase the floor area ratio for the proposed project Other projects in the surrounding area have been able to remodel or renovate existing buildings without requiring grants of additional floor area beyond the maximum areas permitted in the General Plan and Zoning Code Without the requested FAR increase, the Development Agreement would promote the equitable land use growth in the community, 140 The proposed project will adversely affect the orderly development of property in the Corporate Office Zone by granting development rights to one property that would not apply equally to other properties in the Zone by granting a 1 086 1 FAR to the proposed project while the remaining properties in the CO Zone would be limited to the current FAR standard of 0 8.1 The proposed Development Agreement would be consistent with the current General Plan and would not award special consideration for one property if the proposed floor area ratio were reduced to a maximum of 0 8 1 as allowed in the corporate office land use designation The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare The Initial Study concluded that there would be no environmental impacts associated with the protect that could not be mitigated to a level of insignificance Therefore, the location of the use and conditions under which it would operate would not be detrimental or matenally injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Planning Commission hereby recommends that the City Council approve Development Agreement No 00 -2, with modifications and deny General Plan Amendment No 00 -2, subject to the following conditions Prior to issuance of a budding permit, the applicant shall submit plans, which indicate that the project is in substantial conformance with plans and conditions approved and on file with the Department of Community, Economic and Development Services The plans shall be modified to indicate that the proposed
