REPORT OF ACTION TAKEN IN CLOSED SESSION (if required) ADJOURNMENT POSTED: DATE: 10 31 0z TIME: /v(_ NAME: 10 -� U EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 6, 2002 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Orders of Business AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action on a public hearing to modify the Paramedic Transport Rates and broaden the policy on transport billing to include the billing of Medicare, Medi -Cal, Medicaid, and private insurance companies of residents to provide transport services. (The estimated additional revenues to be received are $123,000.) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Open Public Hearing. 2. Discussion. 3. Close Public Hearing. 4. Adopt Resolution. 5. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. During the 2002 -2003 Budget process, the City Council requested information on how paramedic services might be enhanced in light of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and showed concerns about maintaining current service levels considering the State of California and Los Angeles County budget dilemma. Those concerns included the unavailability of paramedics for additional emergencies during the time of simultaneous emergencies; the recent county -wide evaluation of the closure of several hospitals potentially causing extended turnaround times; and a recent trend across the County of extending times for hospitals to accept patients being transported further compounding the problem of increased response time. To minimize the effect of these issues, the City Council approved funding for three additional firefighter /paramedic positions in the fiscal year 2002 -2003 budget. A number of these issues have contributed to the increasing costs of paramedic transports. A review of current rates indicates there is a significant gap between the cost of transports and our present ability to recover costs. Therefore, staff is recommending that rates be increased in accordance with the attached draft Resolution. (Continued on the next page) ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Draft Resolution No. , including proposed rate schedule as Exhibit "A" FISCAL IMPACT: Operating Budget: 123,000 Amount Requested: Account Number: Project Phase: Rate Adoption Resolution Appropriation Required: _Yes X No III BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION (Continued): Also, to reduce the net cost of paramedic transports to the City, staff is proposing to bill Medicare, Medi -Cal, Medicaid, and the insurance companies of residents. Staff is also recommending considering taxes currently paid and contributions residents have made in the past to the construction and maintenance of public safety and infrastructure in lieu of their portion of the transport costs. Residents would not be billed privately by the City. i RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN AMENDED RATE SCHEDULE FOR RECOVERING FIRE DEPARTMENT PARAMEDIC TRANSPORT COSTS. BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows: SECTION 1 • The City Council finds as follows: A. The City currently has a Rate Schedule for paramedic transport services that applies only to non - residents. B. Following a review of paramedic transport costs, it is in the public interest to adjust transport rates in order to recover a greater amount of such costs. C. To recover more of the ever - increasing paramedic transport costs, it is in the public interest to seek recovery from City residents. Residents should, and will, be credited for contributing to the construction and maintenance of public safety infrastructure and services. D. Pursuant to Government Code § 66016, the City made data available regarding the cost, or estimated cost, of providing the paramedic transportation costs on or before October 27, 2002, ten days before the public hearing held on November 6, 2002.

Iii EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 6, 2002 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Order of Business - Public Hearing AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action (Public Hearing) regarding the adoption of an amendment to the 2002 -2003 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program to add a new project entitled, "Architecture and Engineering Services for the Removal of Architectural Barriers at Two Public Facilities: Joslyn Center and El Segundo Library" and amendment to the City Hall West ADA Elevator Project. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Recommendation — (1) Open Public Hearing and take testimony; (2) Close Public Hearing and discuss item; (3) Adopt the new.2002 -2003 CDBG Project, Architecture and Engineering Services for the Removal of Architectural Barriers at Two Public Facilities Project and Budget of $40,000; and the Amendment for the CDBG City Hall West ADA Elevator Project, replacing the General Fund portion of the project budget with unspent CDBG funds of $100,000; and, (4) Authorize the City Manager to execute the contracts, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission; (5) Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: The City of El Segundo annually receives funds from the Los Angeles Urban County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. Due to CDBG Program regulations, the City has had limited opportunity to qualify eligible projects. The City currently has approximately $140,000 in prior year unspent, unallocated CDBG funds. Failure to spend these unallocated CDBG funds may result in the recapture of these funds by the County. (Background and discussion continued on the next page....) ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None FISCAL IMPACT: Operating Budget: Amount Requested: Account Number: Project Phase: M $ 75,000 $140,000 CDBG 600069 -01 Funding x Yes _ No BY: r t�01-2e, ansen, Director of Comm (current CDBG portion of the elevator) (various City account numbers) UAI CL Economic and Development Services DATE: �d 17, � ; 2 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (continued) A recent review of the City's Capital Improvement Advisory Committee's recommendations, as well as the Recreation and Parks Department Audit Implementation Plan, identified potential projects that are eligible under the CDBG Program. Removal of architectural barriers to improve mobility and accessibility of senior adults and severely handicapped persons are eligible under the CDBG Program. Specifically, the design and construction to install automatic, handicapped - accessible double doors in public facilities is eligible under the CDBG Program. It is anticipated that, if approved, the design phase for the automatic doors will be completed before June 30, 2003. Construction and installation of the automatic, handicapped - accessible doors at the El Segundo Library and Joslyn Center will be proposed for the upcoming 2003 -2004 CDBG Program Year. Proposed for the current 2002 -2003 CDBG Program Year is the construction of the City Hall West ADA Elevator. It is recommended that unspent CDBG funds in an amount of $100,000 replace General Funds currently budgeted forthe project. This will expedite the expenditure of CDBG funds. Construction of the new elevator will be competed by April 2003. Unprogrammed, unspent, CDBG funds held by the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission (CDC) for the City's future use on qualifying CDBG projects will be used to support these proposed CDBG activities. These unexpended funds, maintained by the CDC on behalf of the City of El Segundo, may be used for reprogramming into eligible CDBG projects. Currently, the CDC maintains an unallocated fund balance for the City of approximately $140,000. With approval from the CDC, the City may use these funds for re- programming into eligible CDBG projects.

The sign, which exceeds the specifications of the City's Sign Code, will be located on the north side of their building at 2230 East Imperial Highway, and will be in place for two months, beginning approximately November 20, 2002. Applicant: DirecTV. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Approve DirecTV's request to install one oversized sign for two months; 2. Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: On October 22, 2002, DirecTV submitted a letter to the City requesting approval of a 187' x 80' (14,960 square feet) temporary sign. Section 15 -18 -81-1 of the Municipal Code requires that any sign over 500 square feet must be approved by the City Council. The proposed sign would cover most of the north face of the building at 2230 East Imperial Highway, which is entirely occupied by DirecTV. The sign would be perforated material affixed directly on the building glass with adhesive, which would allow light to pass through the sign. The sign would be lighted at night from 5:00pm to 6:00am with temporary floodlights placed in the parking lot in front of the building. The City Council has approved several smaller temporary banners for DirecTV in the past. While this proposed signage is larger than past banners, since it is not a separate banner hung from the building, it would not present the same building safety issues.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Approve Addendum to Environmental Assessment No. 581 and approve an amendment to the Lease and Construction Agreements between 612 Twin Holdings, LLC and the City of El Segundo to add an additional nine parking spaces and 778 square feet of commercial use to the previously approved parking garage located at 121 West Grand Avenue; (2) Authorize the City Manager to execute an easement agreement with 612 Twin Holdings, LLC; (3) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

Hansen, Director of Community, Economic and M* 'Ir y{;—City Manager )ment Services DATE: !o /r% -7,-8 BACKGROUND 8r DISCUSSION (continued) The City of El Segundo entered into a lease for 100 spaces in the structure for public parking to accommodate the future expansion of the downtown business area. The term of the lease is for 34 years. The City has the option to purchase the parking structure near the end of the term of the lease. On September 17, 2002, 612 Twin Holdings, LLC submitted an application for an amendment to the lease and to complete any necessary supplemental environmental determination forthe amendment. The Amendment to the lease is attached as Exhibit C. An addendum to the Negative Declaration has been prepared given the relatively minor nature of the changes to the project. The revised project includes: • an increase in the approved square footage for the commercial use from 7,000 square feet to 7,784 square feet; • a change in the commercial use to include a 2,235 square foot restaurant located on the corner of Grand Avenue and Richmond Street; • an additional nine parking spaces in the parking garage; • a redesign of the elevations along Grand Avenue; and • an increase in the overall height of the parking garage along Richmond Street, Grand Avenue and the Alley. (The chart below reflects the previously approved height versus the proposed height. All proposed heights are measured from the existing grade). Parkina Structure Heiahts `According to the Downtown Specific Plan, the maximum height of any structure that does not abut a street is 45 feet The proposed parking structure would be a maximum of 30 feet tall at the northernmost portion facing the vacant grocery store building. A portion of the structure facing Grand Avenue would have a second level above the 7,784 square foot commercial space. The height of the structure along Grand Avenue would be a maximum of 21 feet, along Richmond Street it would be 29.3 feet, and along the alley (excluding the elevator shaft) it would be 31.5 feet from the existing grade. The elevator shaft extends an additional 8 feet above these elevations. Access to the lower level of the structure would be from Richmond Street and access to the upper levels would be from Grand Avenue. The structure would be set back approximately 20 feet from the face of the existing commercial building. The project is located in the Grand Avenue District of the Downtown Specific Plan area. As mentioned earlier, nine parking spaces have been added to the parking garage increasing the total number of spaces to 181. The applicant is also proposing four parking spaces along the alley to bring the total parking spaces available to 185. Two loading spaces will be located in the northwest corner of the grocery store site. r Approved New Proposed Parking Structure Height Hei ht Richmond Street 27.0 Feet 29.3 Feet Alley 27.0 Feet 31.5 Feet' Grand Avenue 17.0 Feet 21.0 Feet `According to the Downtown Specific Plan, the maximum height of any structure that does not abut a street is 45 feet The proposed parking structure would be a maximum of 30 feet tall at the northernmost portion facing the vacant grocery store building. A portion of the structure facing Grand Avenue would have a second level above the 7,784 square foot commercial space. The height of the structure along Grand Avenue would be a maximum of 21 feet, along Richmond Street it would be 29.3 feet, and along the alley (excluding the elevator shaft) it would be 31.5 feet from the existing grade. The elevator shaft extends an additional 8 feet above these elevations. Access to the lower level of the structure would be from Richmond Street and access to the upper levels would be from Grand Avenue. The structure would be set back approximately 20 feet from the face of the existing commercial building. The project is located in the Grand Avenue District of the Downtown Specific Plan area. As mentioned earlier, nine parking spaces have been added to the parking garage increasing the total number of spaces to 181. The applicant is also proposing four parking spaces along the alley to bring the total parking spaces available to 185. Two loading spaces will be located in the northwest corner of the grocery store site. r The Lease and Construction Agreements have been amended to reflect the change in the number of parking spaces. Maintenance, operation and construction expenses were based upon the pro -rata number of spaces the Citywas leasing relative to the total numberof spaces in the parking lot. Accordingly, the total number has been increased which results in the City's percentage obligation for maintenance, operation and construction costs being decreased. However, given the parking garage will be slightly larger in size it is possible that the maintenance, operation and construction expenses will increase proportionately. Accordingly, staff does not believe there will be any significant increase or decrease in expenses incurred by the City as a result of this amendment. The City's responsibility for construction costs remains capped at $1,100,000.00. The proposed parking structure will require an easement to accommodate some of the structural footings. Specifically, footings will encroach a maximum of five feet into the public right -of -way adjacent to the structure at specific sites. The encroachment will have minimal impact to the public right -of -way. As a condition of approval, the applicant will be required to construct or pay for certain improvements to bring the public right -of -wayto current standards. The Public Work's Department and City Attorney's Office are currently working with the developer to draft an easement agreement that will address the City's concerns.

Attach additional sheets if necessary) A developer, 612 Twin Holdings LLC, is proposing to construct a structure consisting of a one - story 7,784 square foot retail building and a 2.5 level parking garage with 181 parking spaces four parking spaces located on the - grocery store site along the alleyway and two loading spaces located at the northeast corner of the grocery store. The proposed structure would be located on an existing surface parking lot. The parking structure would provide 81 parking spaces for the required parking for the new retail building and an existing vacant 16,530 square foot former grocery store building on the property. Additionally, the City of El Segundo would lease 100 parking spaces in the structure for public parking for the downtown area of El Segundo. A term of 34 years is proposed for the lease with the City. The City would have the option to purchase the parking structure near the end of the term of the lease. The proposed parking structure would be approximately 30feet tall at the northernmost portion facing the vacant grocery store building. A portion of the structure facing Grand Avenue would have a second level above the new retail 7.784 square foot retail structure. The height of the structure along Grand Avenue would be approximately 30 feet. Access to the lower level of the .� J structure would be from Richmond Street and access to the upper levels would be from Grand Avenue. The structure would be set approximately 20 feet from the face of the existing retail building. The project is located in the Grand Avenue District of the Downtown Specific Plan area. 9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting: (Briefly describe the project's surroundings) The project site is currently developed with a one -story, 16,580 square foot commercial building that was most recently occupied by a Ralph's Grocery store. The building has been vacant for approximately three years. A surface parking lot with access from Richmond Street, Grand Avenue and an alley on the west side of the property occupy the rest of the site. The property slopes down from south to north with a grade change of approximately seven feet. The proposed project site is generally surrounded by commercial and retail uses. The areas located to the south, east and north of the proposed project site is composed of low -rise commercial buildings with minimal landscaping. Directly across the alley to the west are older one -and two -story retail buildings. To the south across Grand Avenue are two -story buildings containing a hotel and retail uses. Farther to the south is the historic Richmond Street district, which contains many of the original brick buildings in the downtown area. To the west across Richmond Street are several one -story retail buildings and apartment buildings. To the north of the project site is an apartment building and condominium development. 9.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project- specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project- specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site, cumulative as well as project - level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4) "Negative Declaration: Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Significant Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17, "Earlier Analysis," may be cross- referenced). 5) Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3) (d). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: (a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. (b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. (c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site - specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The analysis of each issue should identify: (a) the significance criteria or threshold used to evaluate each question; and (b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance. 4 43 Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Less than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant Impact With Impact Mitigation Inco orated 1. AESTHETICS. Would the project: a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic X highway? c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings? X d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? X _ A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to introduce incompatible visual elements within a field of view containing a scenic vista. However, the proposed project site is located in a developed commercial area within the City of El Segundo. No scenic vistas currently exist in this area. No impacts related to scenic vistas would occur. A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to introduce incompatible visual elements on the project site or visual elements that would be incompatible with the character of the area surrounding the project site. The proposed project replaces the existing surface parking lot with a retail building and parking structure with a maximum height of 30 feet. The proposed project would be located in an area of the City of El Segundo characterized by similar, predominantly commercial, land uses, along with similar building height and mass. The proposed project would be visually compatible with the appearance of the downtown area. No impacts related to visual compatibility would occur A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to introduce new sources of light or glare on the project site which would be incompatible with the areas surrounding the project site or which would pose a safety hazard to motorists utilizing adjacent streets. The existing lighting for the surface parking lot would be removed and replaced with a parking structure, which would include lighting within the structure. Such lighting would be less likely to create offsite glare than the existing light sources on the property. In addition, although traffic levels would increase somewhat under the proposed project, increased light generation from headlights would likely not be perceptible because of existing low volume of traffic expected from the project. Under the proposed project, existing levels of light and glare generation would not be expected to change substantially from current conditions. No new hazards from lighting or glare would be introduced. Impacts would be less than significant. Add the following mitigation measure MM -1The maximum square footage for commercial use shall be limited to 7,784 square feet MM -2The building plans for the parking garage and retail /restaurant area shall be stamped by an licensed architect or engineer and shall state on the plans that the height of the garage shall not exceed 30 feet from existing grade when abutting a street and 45 feet when abutting and alley. The building plans shall have ..a legend that clearly identifies the square footage of each commercial use the total number of parking spaces for each garage level plus the number of parking and loading spaces located on the grocery store site 2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland. Would the project? 43 Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Less than Less Than No Impact Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to Significant Significant Significant the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Impact With Impact X Resources Agency to non - agricultural use?

X c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non- X agricultural use? A significant impact may occur if the proposed project were to result in the conversion of state - designated agricultural land from agricultural use to another non - agricultural use. The California Department of Conservation, Division of Land Protection, lists Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, and Farmland of Statewide Importance under the general category of "Important Farmland." The Extent of Important Farmland Map Coverage maintained by the Division of Land Protection indicates that the project site is not included in the Important Farmland category. t The proposed project site has been developed for its current office uses since 1965. The project site is located in a developed commercial corridor in the City of El Segundo and does not include any state - designated agricultural lands. No impact on farmland or agricultural resources would occur. The proposed project is located in the Grand Avenue District (GAD). Therefore, it will not convert any farmland or otherwise affect any farmland. There is no Williamson Act contracted land in the City of El Segundo. 3. AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? X b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. X c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non - attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including X releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone precursors)? d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? X e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?

The City of El Segundo is located on the western edge of the South Coast Air Basin (Basin), within the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). SCAQMD has adopted criteria for consistency with regional plans and the regional AQMP in its CEQA Air Quality Handbook (Handbook). These include: 1) identifying whether the project would increase frequency or severity of existing air quality violations or cause or contribute to new air quality violations, and 2) identifying whether the project would exceed the assumptions utilized in preparing the AQMP. A significant impact may occur if a project is inconsistent with the growth assumptions upon which the regional AQMP was based. The most current version of the AQMP was adopted in 1997 and was based upon population, housing and employment growth projections adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The proposed project consists of approximately 7,784 square feet of retail space. The proposed project site would result in employment growth within a plan- designated Downtown Specific Plan area (see Section 12). The SCAG projections for the City of El Segundo are based upon adopted City plans, and the proposed project is consistent with adopted City plans. Therefore, the project - generated employment would be within SCAG and AQMP growth projections for the area. The proposed project thus would not be in conflict with nor would it obstruct implementation of the 1997 AQMP. The project would have a less than significant impact with regard to air quality plans. A significant effect related to air quality could occur if the proposed project were to generate air emissions during construction or operations that could affect sensitive receptors. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), in its CEQA Air Quality Handbook (SCAQMD Handbook), has established screening thresholds for determining whether a project has the potential to result in significant air quality impacts. According to Table 6 -2 of the SCAQMD Handbook, a potentially significant air quality impact may occur if a commercial shopping center is larger than 22,000 square feet. Since the proposed project would include a retail building which would total approximately 7,784 square feet, no significant air quality impacts related to operation of the proposed project would occur. According to Table 6 -3 of the SCAQMD Handbook, a potentially significant construction air quality impact could occur if a shopping center project is larger than 975,000 square feet. Since the proposed project would be smaller than these thresholds, no significant impacts related to construction air quality would occur. Air quality impacts of the proposed project would be below SCAQMD significance thresholds and would be less than significant. A significant impact related to air movement, moisture, or temperature, or climatic change would occur only if the proposed project were of sufficient size, and included activities or processes that resulted in temperature or humidity changes, that could potentially result in the creation of a "micro- climate" that would have the potential to result in larger scale climatic changes. The proposed project consists of urban development that does not include activities or processes that would have the potential to produce such effects. No impact would occur. A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if construction or operation of the project would result in generation of odors, which would be perceptible in adjacent sensitive areas. The proposed project would consist of urban development that does not include activities or processes that would generate substantial odors. Moreover, no sensitive uses are presently located adjacent to the existing use. No impact would occur. 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES.

A significant impact would occur if the proposed project would remove or modify habitat for any species identified or designated as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulation, or by the state or federal regulatory agencies cited. The proposed project site is located in an area, which has been previously disturbed through its construction as a parking lot, and is also within the urbanized area of El Segundo. No riparian or other sensitive habitat areas are presently located on or adjacent to the project site. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in any adverse impacts to endangered, threatened, or rare species or their habitats. No impact would occur. A significant impact would occur if the proposed project would remove or modify habitat for any species identified or designated as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulation, or by the state or federal regulatory agencies cited. The proposed project site is located in an area, which has been previously disturbed through its construction as a parking lot, and is also within the urbanized area of El Segundo. No riparian or other sensitive habitat areas are presently located on or adjacent to the project site. No locally designated species are found on the proposed project site. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in any adverse impacts to locally designated species. No impact would occur. A significant impact would occur if riparian habitat or any other sensitive natural community identified locally, regionally, or by the state and federal regulatory agencies cited were to be adversely modified without adequate mitigation. The proposed project site is located in an area, which has been previously disturbed through its construction as a parking lot, and is also within the urbanized area of El Segundo. No riparian or other sensitive habitat areas are presently located on or adjacent to the project site. No locally designated species are found on the proposed project site. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in any adverse impacts to locally designated natural communities. No impact would occur. A significant impact would occur if federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act would be modified or removed without adequate mitigation. The proposed project site is located in an area, which has been previously disturbed through its construction as a parking lot, and is also within the heavily urbanized area of El Segundo. No riparian or other sensitive habitat areas, such as wetland habitats, are presently located on or adjacent to the project site. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in any adverse impacts to wetland habitats. No impact would occur. A significant impact would occur if the proposed project would interfere or remove access to a migratory wildlife corridor or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites. The proposed project site is located in an area, which has been previously disturbed through its construction as a lot, and is also within the urbanized area of El Segundo. No wildlife dispersal or migration corridors areas are presently located on or adjacent to the project site. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in any adverse impacts to wildlife dispersal or migration corridors. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project used non - renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner. The proposed project represents an urban infill project, which would not result in the consumption of non - renewable resources at a rate greater than any other urban development project in the City of El Segundo or the Southern California 46 Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Less than Less Than No Impact resource as defined in Section 15064.5?

The land upon which the proposed project would be developed is already in urban development and is planned for development as proposed under the project. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project site is located in an area used or available for extraction of a regionally- important mineral resource and the project converted an existing or potential future regionally- important mineral extraction use to another use or if the project affected access to a site used or potentially available for regionally- important mineral resource extraction. The General Plan designation for the project site does not identify the project site as a potential location for future mineral resource recovery. The proposed project site has never been used for mineral resource recovery. There would be no impact to the loss of availability of a known mineral resource. There are no known rare, unique or endangered plant or animal species associated with the proposed project or within the immediate vicinity. Therefore, the proposed project will not produce significant changes to the number of rare or endangered plant species in the project area (including trees, shrubs grass, crops, and micro flora) nor would it impact wetlands, migratory corridors, or conservation plans. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource as defined in Section 15064.5? X b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resources pursuant to Section 15064.5? X c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? X d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? X A significant impact may occur if grading or excavation activities associated with the proposed project would disturb paleontological resources or geologic features which presently exist within the project site. No unique geologic features currently exist within the project site, which has been previously disturbed through its construction as a surface parking lot. Limited grading would be associated for the construction of the proposed project. No impacts to paleontological resources would occur. While there is no evidence that paleontological resources are located on the project site, there is still the possibility that the construction phase of the proposed office building could encounter paleontological resources, which in turn could result in potentially significant paleontological resource impacts. However, provided the mitigation measure listed below is implemented, the project would not have any potential to cause a substantial adverse change in significant paleontological resources. A significant impact may occur if grading or excavation activities associated with the proposed project would disturb archaeological resources or geologic features which presently exist within the project site. No unique geologic features currently exist within the project site, which has been previously disturbed through its construction as an office building and surface parking lot. While there is no evidence that archaeological resources are located on the project site, there is still the possibility that the construction phase of the project office building could encounter archaeological resources, which in turn could result in potentially significant archaeological resources impacts. However, provided the mitigation measure listed below is implemented, the proposed project would not have any potential to cause a substantial adverse change in significant archaeological resources. Section 15064.5 of the State CECA Guidelines defines an historical resource as: (1) a resource listed in or determined to be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources; (2) a resource listed in a local register of historical resources or identified as significant in an historical resource survey meeting certain state guidelines; or (3) an object, building, structure, site, area, place, record or manuscript which a lead agency determines to be significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military or cultural annals of California, provided that the lead agency's determination is supported by substantial evidence in light of the whole record. A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the proposed project would adversely affect an historical resource meeting one of these definitions. Currently the proposed project site is developed 4 Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Less than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant X of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Impact With Impact (ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? Mitigation X (iii) Seismic - related ground failure, including liquefaction? Inc- orated with a surface parking lot and an existing retail building. No buildings presently listed in, or identified as eligible for listing in, the California Register of Historical Resources are located on the project site. Similarly no resources listed in a local register of historical resources or within a historical resources survey are located within the project site. Finally, the existing structure has never contributed to the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social, political, military or cultural annals of California. The project would thus not have any potential to affect significant historical resources as defined in Section 15064.5. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project was located in an area where it could cause a physical change, which would affect a unique ethnic community or culture. The proposed project site is located in an urbanized area of the City of El Segundo, which does not have cultural or ethnic significance. No impacts would occur. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project was located in an area where it could impact religious or sacred uses. The proposed project site is located in an urbanized area of the City of El Segundo, which does not have religious or sacred significance. No impacts would occur. However, provided the mitigation measure listed below is implemented, the proposed project would not have any potential to cause a substantial adverse change in significant paleontological and archeological resources. MM -3 In the event that paleontological or archaeological resources are encountered during the course of grading, all development must cease in these areas until the paleontological or archaeological resources are properly assessed and subsequent recommendations are determined by a qualified paleontologist or archaeological. 6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project: a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving: (i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist - Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence X of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special Publication 42. (ii) Strong seismic ground shaking? X (iii) Seismic - related ground failure, including liquefaction? X (iv) Landslides? X b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil? X c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or X collapse? d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18 -a -B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property? X e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? X A significant impact may occur if a project site is located within a state - designated Alquist- Priolo Zone or other designated fault zone, and appropriate building practices are not employed. The project site is located in the Inglewood Fault Fault Zone and the Elvsian Thrimt Fa dt 7,, . /�__ ..:. __._, — - _,_„_ . ..... vicinity of the -. t --o anu ruunc racumes neaps: Alquist - Priolo 10 46- Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Less than Less Than I No Impact Significant Significant Significant Impact With Impact Mitigation Inco orated Special Study Zones and Fault Rupture Study Areas in the City of Los Angeles)2. The Newport- Inglewood Fault Zone is 75 km in length with a probable magnitude of 6.5 -7.4. The potentially active Elysian Thrust Fault Zone is 34 km in length with a probable magnitude of 6.7. The project will be required to comply with current codes which reduce seismic risks to an acceptable level; thus, the proposed project will have a less than significant impact with regard to fault rupture. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project represents an increased risk to public safety or destruction of property by exposing people, property or infrastructure to seismically induced ground shaking hazards that are greater than the average risk associated with locations in the Southern California region. As with all properties in the seismically active Southern California region, the project site is susceptible to ground shaking during a seismic event. Potential impacts from seismic ground shaking are present throughout Southern California and would be of comparable intensity at the project site as it would be for large parts of the City of El Segundo and the region. The project will be required to comply with existing codes which reduce seismic risks to an acceptable level; thus, the proposed project will have a less than significant impact with regard to seismic ground shaking. Additionally, through the imposition of the mitigation measure described below, the proposed project would be constructed in compliance with a Geotechnical Report, which would evaluate the soil conditions, and ensure that the structure would be designed to accommodate the soil conditions on the site. With mitigation, impacts would be less than significant. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project is located in an area identified as having a high risk of liquefaction and mitigation measures required within such designated areas are not incorporated into the project. Liquefaction is a condition where the soil undergoes continued deformation at a constant low residual stress due to the build -up of high porewater pressures. The possibility of liquefaction occurring at a given site is dependant upon the occurrence of a significant earthquake in the vicinity, sufficient groundwater to cause high pore pressures, and on the grain size, relative density, and confining pressures of the soil at the site. The regional groundwater is approximately 110 feet below ground surface in the vicinity of the proposed project site. The proposed project site is located in a zone of the City that is considered to have a low potential for liquefaction based upon on -site soil types and topographic and subsurface conditions. There would a less than significant impact involving seismic ground failure, including liquefaction. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project site was sufficiently close to the ocean to be potentially at risk of the effects of seismically induced tidal phenomena (seiche and tsunami). The proposed project site is located approximately one mile from Santa Monica Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The coastal portion of the City and adjacent portions of the City of Los Angeles are identified by the State as tsunami hazard areas, and as a result, there is the potential for damage to Edison and Chevron facilities, and the Hyperion Treatment Plant. However, the residential portions of the City and the proposed project site are located above the potential hazard area and are not at high risk. There are no volcanic hazards within the proposed project area or region. Impacts involving seiche, tsunami, or volcanic hazards would be less than significant. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project site were located in a hillside area with soil conditions that would suggest high potential for sliding. The proposed project site is not located in a hillside area and therefore would not be subject to potential landslide conditions. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project site would expose large areas to the erosional effects of wind or water for a long period of time. The proposed project area is highly developed and the project site is entirely paved. The potential for substantial erosion or changes in topography would therefore not be present under the proposed project. No mpact would occur. 4 significant impact may occur if the proposed project would cause subsidence of the land. The proposed project site is :ompletely paved and developed. The proposed project would involve the demolition of the existing office building; no najor site preparation activities would be required. No withdrawals of subsurface fluids, which could potentially cause subsidence, would be associated with the proposed project. In addition, the regional groundwater is approximately 110 eet below the ground surface of the vicinity of the proposed project site. No impact would occur.

Therefore, the proposed project will have less than significant impacts involving expansive soils. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project site or immediate surrounding area contained unique geological or physical features. The proposed project site is located in an area, which has been previously disturbed through its construction as an office building and parking structure, and is also within the urbanized area of El Segundo. There are no unique geologic or physical features in the area. No impact would occur. With incorporation of the mitigation measures listed below, impacts would be less than significant. MM -4 The City development shall conform to the California Building Code. MM -5The Developer will submit a Geotechnical Report to the Director of Community, Economic and Development Services for review and approval before the issuance of a building grading or permit. The Geotechnical Report will be prepared by a State registered engineer, who will recommend mitigation measures to prevent structural damage to the proposed structures. Structures will be designed by a State registered engineer to the latest building code adopted by the City of El Segundo. 7. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project? a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials? X b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the likely release of hazardous materials into the environment? X c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one - quarter mile of an exiting or proposed school?

The proposed project would not interfere with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. No impact would occur. The proposed project would not interfere with an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project involves use or disposal of hazardous materials as part of its routine operations and would have the to potential generate toxic or otherwise hazardous emissions that could adversely affect sensitive receptors. Uses sensitive to hazardous emissions (i.e., sensitive receptors) in the area include some residential apartments, located to the west and north of the property. There are also residential units in the two -story building across the alley to the east. However, there will not be and hazardous materials associated with the use of the new retail building and parking structure. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project involved the exposure of people to existing sources of potential health hazards. There are no known sources of potential health hazards on the project site or in the immediate surrounding area. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project increased fire hazards in areas with flammable brush, grass, or trees. The proposed project site is located in an urbanized portion of the City of El Segundo that does not include wildlands or high fire hazard terrain or vegetation. All areas of the project site are paved and developed. No impact increased fire hazards. would occur on 8. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? b) Substantially degrade groundwater supplies or interfere substantially X with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre- existing nearby wells would drop to a level X which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off- X site? d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or surface runoff in a manner which X would result in flooding on- or off site? 13 J l Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Less than Significant Significant Impact With !t7mpact Mitigation Inco orated e) Create or contribute runoff which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? X f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? X g) Place housing within a 100 -year floodplain, as mapped on a federal Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? X h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would impede or redirect flood flows? X i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? X j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? X A significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted in increased runoff volumes during construction or operation of the project, which would result in flooding conditions affecting the project site or nearby properties. No stream or river courses are currently located in the vicinity of the project site. The proposed project would reduce the amount of impervious surface on the project site because it will replace existing paved and developed surfaces within the project site with urban landscaping. The proposed project would increase the quality, quantity and variety of plant material and landscape currently at the site. While the proposed project site at present is occupied virtually in its entirety by buildings or paved surfaces, the proposed project would include minimal new landscaped areas adjacent to the retail building and parking structure. Therefore, the proposed project would not generate any additional storm water runoff to the storm drain system and would likely reduce storm water runoff to the storm drain system. Impacts would be less than significant. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted in exposure of people or property to water related hazards such as flooding. The proposed project is located within Flood Hazard Zone C of the National Flood Insurance Program (i.e., not at risk of a 100 -year or 500 -year flood) and there are no major dams or waterways located near proposed project site. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project included potential sources of water pollutants, which would have the potential to degrade water quality. During construction of the proposed project, demolition of the existing parking lot ✓could take place and the proposed project site could be exposed to precipitation, which could increase runoff of eroded materials. The project will be required to comply with the applicable regulations of the General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board and administered by the Los 4ngeles County Department of Public Works and the City of El Segundo. However, by incorporating the relevant Best Management Practices (BMPs) set forth in this permit for erosion control into the project construction process, impacts on vater quality from construction runoff would be limited. With implementation of the mitigation measures set forth below, mpacts of the proposed project related to construction runoff would be less than significant. )uring operations, the proposed project would use, at most, minimal amounts of hazardous materials for routine office .leaning and landscaping. Vehicular activities associated with the proposed project could result in the deposition of materials within the parking structure and on surrounding roadways would have the potential to contribute metals, oil and [tease, solvents, hydrocarbons and suspended solids to storm water runoff. The proposed project would be subject to esign criteria set forth in the Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan for Los Angeles County and cities in Los Angeles County, as administered by the City of El Segundo and the County of Los Angeles. These design measures Iould minimize the conveyance of pollutants in storm water runoff. Therefore, with implementation of the mitigation ieasures set forth below, the proposed project would not substantially degrade water quality. significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted in changes in the amount of surface water in any water Ddy. The proposed project would involve the demolition of a surface parking lot and the development of a new structure ith retail uses and parking garage in a densely developed portion of the City of El Segundo. There would be negligible range in the amount of impervious surface within the project site with the construction of new landscaped areas. There 14 Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Less than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant Impact With Impact Mitigation Inco ore[ed would be no alterations to the amount of surface water as the nearest body of water is one mile away, the Santa Monica Bay and the Pacific Ocean. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted in changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements. The proposed project would involve the demolition of a surface parking lot and the development of a new structure with retail uses and parking garage in a densely developed portion of the City of El Segundo. There would be no changes in currents, or the course or direction of water movements as the nearest body of water is one mile away, the Santa Monica Bay and the Pacific Ocean as a result of either scenario. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project included deep excavations which had the potential to interfere with groundwater movement or included withdrawal of groundwater or paving of existing permeable surfaces important to groundwater recharge. The proposed project site is presently covered entirely with impermeable surface (i.e., structures, concrete and asphalt). The proposed project would not materially alter the amount of permeable surfaces through increased landscaped area. There would be some excavation on the site to construct the lower level of the parking structure, but construction would not interfere with groundwater movement. Therefore, the proposed project would have no effect on groundwater quality or recharge. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project includes potential sources of water pollutants that would have the potential to substantially degrade water quality. The proposed project would use, at most, minimal amounts of hazardous materials for routine office cleaning and landscaping; the proposed project does not include other potential sources of contaminants, which could potentially degrade water quality. Therefore, the proposed project would not degrade water) quality. No impact would occur. 4 significant impact may occur if the proposed project included deep excavations, which had the potential to substantially 'educe the amount of groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies. The proposed project site would not nclude minor subsurface excavation. Thus, the proposed project would not substantially reduce the amount of iroundwater, which would otherwise be available for public water supplies. No impact would occur. mpacts would be less than significant with mitigation measures incorporated.

X nificant impact may occur if the proposed project is inconsistent with the General Plan or zoning designations tly applicable to the project site and would cause adverse F environmental effects, which the General Plan and zoning nce are designed to avoid or mitigate. The project site is located within the City of El Segundo. The El Segundo General Plan land use designation for the project site is Downtown Specific Plan. The sites zoning in the El Segundo Municipal Code is "Grand Avenue District (GAD)." The GAD permits general retail uses. The parking structure is considered as an accessory use providing the required on- site parking for the existing retail building and the proposed retail building. The City would lease extra parking spaces being designed into the garage structure. This project will meet all development regulation and standards development in the GAD. required for The City may sublease parking spaces in the new garage to downtown business owners and make general public parking available to the downtown area. Additionally, property owners in the downtown area may also be permitted to locate their required on -site parking for future developments in the proposed parking structure in lieu of providing the parking on their own properties. This arrangement may lead to additional development in the downtown area that would not occur without the proposed lease of 100 parking spaces in the new This garage. potential additional development in downtown would still be required to comply with all other development standards for new construction, including maximum densities. As a result the potential provision of off -site parking to meet on -site parking requirements be the City would not increase the density permitted in the Downtown area. Potential development associated with the adoption of the Downtown Specific Plan analyzed the impacts of additional development as part of a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts (Environmental Assessment No. 474). There fore, the lease of parking by the City for future use as required parking for other potential development would conform to the development guidelines in the Downtown Specific Plan and would not create any new significant impacts on the environment. A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the proposed project site were located within an area governed by a habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. The project site and its vicinity are not part of any draft or adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional or state habitat conservation plan. The project site is located in an area, which has been previously disturbed through the construction of a parking structure and an office building, and is also within an urbanized area of El Segundo. No project impact to any adopted habitat or conservation plans would occur. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project would be incompatible with adjacent sensitive land uses (i.e., residential). The proposed new retail building and parking structure would be compatible and integrate with adjacent land uses. The downtown area currently consists of a mix of residential and commercial uses in an urban setting. No impact sensitive land uses would occur. to 10. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project: a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally- important mineral resource Nx- recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? A significant impact may occur if the proposed project used non - renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner. The proposed project represents an urban infill project, which would not result in the consumption of non - renewable resources at a rate greater than any other urban development project in the City of El Segundo or the Southern California region. The land upon which the proposed project would be developed is already in urban development in the is and designated General Plan for development as proposed under the project. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project site is located in an area used or available for extraction of a regionally- important mineral resrairca nnfi a.e ...,.;_, _.._u_ _ F1 wjj , t rvoi LVU an existing or potential future regionally- important mineral 16 5.1 Issues and Supporting Information Po entially Less than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant Impact with Impact Mitigation Into orated • ��• I u�� w a,,,..l,vl UOV Vi ll LI IV N,ulecL anectea access to a site used or potentially available for regionally- important mineral resource extraction. The General Plan designation for the project site does not identify the project site as a potential location for future mineral resource recovery. The proposed project site has never been used for mineral resource recovery. There would be no impact to the loss of availability of a known mineral resource. 11. NOISE. Would the project result in: a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or X applicable standards of other agencies? b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels? X c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? X d) A substantially temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in the project vicinity above levels existing without the project? X e) For a project located within an airport land use plan, or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the X project area to excessive noise levels? f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive X noise levels? The proposed project site is located in an urban developed environment. The existing noise environment is characterized by the mix of land uses within it, which includes commercial developments, residences and the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The project site is outside the 65 dBA noise contour of LAX. The primary source of noise in the vicinity of the project site is vehicular noise on the surrounding streets and noise from LAX. The criteria for determination of a significant noise impact are set forth in the City of El Segundo Noise Ordinance 4 A . project would normally have a significant operational noise impact if the project causes the ambient noise level measured at the property line of affected uses to increase by 5 dBA in Community Equivalent Noise Level (CNEL) above the accepted ambient noise level of 65 dBA CNEL. CNEL is a 24 -hour weighted noise measurement, in which noise during evening and nighttime hours is given an increased weight to account for increased sensitivity to noise during those hours. For the proposed project, the predominant noise source is anticipated to be additional vehicular traffic. The greatest impacts would occur at sensitive receptors located near the project. The two closest such receptors are: (1) residential units on the second floor of the building across the alley to the east of the project site a 105 -113 East Grand Avenue; and (2) a residential units on the west side of the 200 block of Richmond Street across the street from the The project site. resulting noise levels, with the addition of project - related traffic, would not be expected to increase. Operational noise impacts would be less than significant. A significant impact may occur if the proposed project if there are severe noise levels to be generated during project construction. Construction activities would require the use of numerous noise - generating types of equipment such as jack hammers, pneumatic impact equipment, saws and tractors. However, given the duration of the construction activities and the distance from the site to sensitive noise receptors, construction noise impacts are expected to be less than the City significance threshold of 5 dBA. Construction noise impacts would be less than significant. 12. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project: El Segundo Municipal Code Section 7 -2 -4. 17 55 Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Less than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant Impact With Impact Mitigation Inco orated a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for X example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? X c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? X t impact may occur if the proposed project cumulatively exceeded the official regional or local population 7projections. . The City of EI Segundo's General Plan Objective ED1-1, Policy ED1 -1.1, to maintain economic development the City's and the business and residential communities' top priorities, would be implemented through the nt of the proposed project. The proposed retail development and City parking lease would create jobs, expand nd create additional revenue for the City. The proposed project would not include residential development and nclude permanent population growth in the City. Therefore, the proposed project would not exceed official regional or local population projections. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project were to locate new development such as homes, businesses or infrastructure, with the effect of substantially inducing that growth would otherwise not have occurred as rapidly or in as great a magnitude. The proposed project is located in an urbanized area, with all major urban infrastructure systems already in place. As discussed ion Section 9 above, the City's lease of 100 parking spaces may make it more possible for additional development to occur in the downtown area. Some of this additional development could be residential land uses, since owner - tenant occupied residential uses are permitted in the Downtown Specific Plan. Therefore, to the extent that residential development is permitted in the Downtown Specific Plan, and the impacts of additional development were already determined in Environmental Assessment No. 474, no additional impacts on population and housing would occur as a result of the lease of 100 parking spaces in the proposed project by the City of El Segundo. Under this project, a 7,784 square foot retail building, consistent with the zoning for the site, would replaced a portion of the surface parking lot. Therefore, the proposed project would not induce substantial growth be developing in an undeveloped area or extension of major infrastructure. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project would result in displacement of existing housing units, necessitating construction of replacement housing elsewhere. The proposed project would involve the replacement of a lot parking with a retail building and parking garage. The proposed project would not displace existing housing, because no residential uses are presently associated with the proposed project site. No impact would occur. 13. PUBLIC SERVICES. Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered facilities, government need for new or physically altered government facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services: a) Fire protection? X b) Police protection? c) Schools? X d) Parks? X e) Other public facilities? X X A significant impact may occur if the City of El Segundo Fire Department (ESFD) could not adequately serve the proposed project based upon response time, access or fire hydrant/water availability. The proposed project site is served by two fire stations; the Headquarters Station, located at 314 Main Street and Station 2, located at 2161 East El Segundo Boulevard. Headquarter Station has two engine companies and a rescue team. Station 2 has an engine company, rescue team, and a truck cmmr-iami ,y ......�.0 die not expected to oe adversely impacted by the proposed 18 JU Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Lass than an No Impact Significant Significant Impact With ESignificant Mitigation I— ora[eA project. Through the imposition of Mitigation Measure No. 9 and 10, firefighting access to the project site will be maintained. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project resulted in an increase in demand for police services that woulc exceed the capacity of the police department responsible for serving the site. Police service for the proposed project site is provided by the El Segundo Police Department (ESPD), which is located at 348 Main Street, in the City of El Segundo. The proposed project would slightly increase on -site population, which could generate a demand for additional security, The extent of additional protection needed would vary in accordance with the type of use and expected number of visitors and employees on -site. The proposed project would have less than significant impacts on police service. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could generate demand for school facilities that exceeds the capacity of the school district(s) responsible for serving the project site. The impact of additional residential development in the Downtown Specific Plan was evaluated in EA No. 474 and determined to have a no significant impact on school facilities or school demand. The City's lease of 100 parking spaces in the proposed parking structure could facilitate the development of additional residential units in the Downtown Specific Plan area, but would not create any additional demand for school facilities not analyzed in the mitigated negative declaration for the Downtown Specific Plan. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in a significant indirect increase in permanent residential population, which could affect local schools. No impact on schools would occur. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could generate a demand for new or altered government service. The addition of 7.784 square feet of commercial /retail land use would not significantly increase employment growth in the City. Additionally, the potential employment and population growth due to the City's lease of 100 parking spaces in the proposed garage would not create any additional demands for service that were not evaluated as part of the mitigated negative declaration for the Downtown Specific Plan. As a result no impact would occur and no mitigation is required. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could generate a demand for other public facilities (such as libraries), which exceeds the capacity available to serve the project site. As detailed above, the addition of 7,784 square feet of commercial /retail land use would not significantly increase employment growth in the City. Additionally, the potential employment and population growth due to the City's lease of 100 parking spaces in the proposed garage would not create any additional demands for service that were not evaluated as part of the mitigated negative declaration for the Downtown Specific Plan. Therefore, the proposed project itself would iot increase permanent residential population within the City of El Segundo. With no increase of permanent residential )opulation created by the proposed project there would not be a significant increase in the demand for government Services. No impact would occur Nhile significant impacts are not anticipated, the mitigation measures below restate project design features and City equirements, which would assure less than significant project impacts. MM -11 Fire sprinklers are not required in the new "open" parking garage so long as there is provided a twenty foot square opening, every 50 lineal feet, or fraction thereof, on each side of the parking structure that features fire access roadways. These roadways will be accessible to the fire department from the exterior and shall not be obstructed in a manner that firefighter or rescue cannot be accomplished from the exterior (MM -9). MM -12A Class III standpipe system is required (1 -1/2 inch hose and 2 -1/2 inch outlet for structure with four levels. MM -13The project applicant shall install full Safety Alarm Systems. LWould he project applicant shall provide for review of site plans by the El Segundo Fire Department for placement of on -site fire hydrants and fire access lanes.

Maintenance of public parks and public recreational facilities in El Segundo are funded largely through the City general fund. As demand for park services by the proposed project is considered to have no impact, impacts on maintenance of those facilities would likewise not be significant. The project would not increase the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. No impact would occur. Incorporated would have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The proposed project involved the construction of a commercial project and not the construction of parks. No impact would occur on existing recreational opportunities. b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an L11:E7 X adverse physical effect on the environment? A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could generate demands for public park facilities that exceed the capacity of existing parks, and causes premature deterioration of the park facilities. As stated in Section No. 13 above, the project itself would not increase permanent residential population within the City of El Segundo. Maintenance of public parks and public recreational facilities in El Segundo are funded largely through the City general fund. As demand for park services by the proposed project is considered to have no impact, impacts on maintenance of those facilities would likewise not be significant. The project would not increase the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational facilities. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if a project includes the construction or expansion of park facilities and such construction would have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The proposed project involved the construction of a commercial project and not the construction of parks. No impact would occur on existing recreational opportunities. 15. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project: a) Cause an increase in the traffic which is substantial in relation to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to X capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)? b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for X designated roads or highways? c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety X risks? d) Substantially increase hazards to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)? X e) Result in inadequate emergency access? X f) Result in inadequate parking capacity? X g) Conflict with adopted policies or programs supporting alternative transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)? X A significant impact related to traffic conditions would occur if a proposed project generated traffic that exceeded the significance threshold of the jurisdiction in which a potentially affected intersection were located. The City of El Segundo has established a significance threshold for traffic impacts within the City that identifies a significant impact whenever either of the following occurs: (1) a project causes an intersection to decline from LOS D or better to LOSE or worse; or (2) a project contributes traffic that causes the volume /capacity (WC) ratio at an intersection that is forecast to operate at LOS E or LOS F to increase by 0.02 or more. If either of these two thresholds is exceeded, the impact is considered significant. The city's consultant Traffic Engineer prepared trip generation estimates for the proposed addition of 7_,784 square feet of commercial use on the project site. Since it is not known exactly what types of uses would occupy the new building, an average trip generation rate, based on several Institute of Transportation Engineer's land use categories, was developed to estimate the trip generation potential for commercial and restaurant uses. Based on average AM, PM and average daily trip rates of 3.7, 7.65, and 76.04, respectively, the proposed 7_ 84square foot building is expected to generate approximately 78 AM peak period vehicle trips, 53, PM peak period trips, and a total of 532 average daily trips.

All projected increases would be below the 0.02 threshold and would be less than significant. A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if inadequate parking areas were provided during construction or operation of the proposed project such that employee and visitor parking would spill over into adjacent areas. During construction of the proposed structure, the vacant market would remain unoccupied. Thus construction would not interfere with the required parking for the existing building. Upon completion of the project and re- occupancy of the vacant building, 85parking spaces would be provided for the existing building and the new 7 784 square foot commercial building with 81 parking spaces being located in the parking garage and 4 parking spaces on the grocery store site. Based on the Zoning A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if project design did not allow for emergency access meeting the requirements of the Fire Department such that an existing hazard to the project and adjacent uses would be exacerbated. Access to the project site would be provided from Richmond Street and Grand Avenue, which would be consistent with Fire Department requirements for two separated access points to the site. No impacts related to emergency access would occur. A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project included new roadway design or introduced a new land use into an area with specific transportation requirements and characteristics, which had not been previously experienced in that area. The proposed project does not include any new roadways. The proposed project would also include commercial retail land uses, which are consistent with the urban development already existing in this area of the City of El Segundo. Automobile and truck traffic associated with these uses would be consistent with existing traffic patterns. No impact would occur. A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to increase traffic hazards in such a manner as to pose safety hazards or otherwise preclude pedestrian and bicycle movements. As noted above, the proposed project would increase traffic at certain intersections within the City of El Segundo. However, these intersections are currently signalized and /or provide crosswalks and pedestrian crossing signals to ensure pedestrian safety. The proposed project would not impact these signals and would thus not impact pedestrian safety. The proposed project would not significantly impact any intersections in the area and thus the proposed project would not preclude the use of the roadway system by bicycles. Impacts to pedestrian and bicycle movements under the proposed project would be less than significant. A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project would involve modification of existing alternative transportation facilities located on- or off -site. An existing bus shelter on Grand Avenue may require repositioning due to the construction of the driveway access to the parking structure on Grand Avenue. No other off -site construction would be associated with the proposed project. On -site construction would occur in areas that do not include any existing alternative transportation facilities. No impacts related to alternative transportation facilities would occur. Tor uowniown use. Based on the square footage of the parking garage a mitigation would require that the maximum allowable parking spaces for the parking structure be limited to 181 spaces for all three levels 21 5 J Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Significant Less than Significant Less Than Significant No Impact X Impact With Impact b) Require or result in construction of new water or wastewater treatment Mitigation facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which Incorporated A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project included rail, port or airport facilities, or had the potential to impact such facilities. The proposed project is a commercial development that does not include any rail, port or airport facilities. The proposed project would not include any development that would infringe upon or otherwise impact the railroad right -of -way. The proposed project is sufficiently distant from LAX that it would not impact operations at that facility. No impacts would occur.

UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project: a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional X Water Quality Control Board? b) Require or result in construction of new water or wastewater treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which X could cause significant environmental effects? c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which X could cause significant environmental effects? d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded X entitlements needed? e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which services or may serve the project determined that it has adequate X capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the provider's existing commitments? f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to X accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs? g) Comply with federal, state, and local statues and regulations related to X solid waste? A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could generate a demand for new systems or substantial alterations to power or natural gas. The Southern California Gas Company (TGC) provides natural gas to the City of El Segundo, including the proposed project site. The proposed project site is located in TGC's Pacific Region, which includes all coastal areas between Long Beach and Ventura. The availability of natural gas is based upon present conditions of gas supply and regulatory policies. As a public utility, TGC is under the jurisdiction of the California Public Utilities Commission, but can also be affected by actions of federal regulatory agencies. Should these agencies take any action, which affects gas supply or the conditions under which service is available, gas service would be provided in accordance with those revised conditions. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could generate a demand for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to communications systems. Pacific Bell provides local telephone service in the City of El Segundo. Pacific Bell regularly upgrades its system as demands for service increase. There would be no need for new systems, new supplies, or substantial alterations to the existing communications systems. No impact to communications systems would occur. 22 U Issues and Supporting Information Potentially Less than Less Than No Impact Significant Significant Significant Impact With Impact Mitigation Incorporated A significant impact may occur if a proposed project would increase water consumption or wastewater generation to such a degree that the capacity of facilities currently serving the project site would be exceeded. The City of El Segundo supplies water to proposed project site, from groundwater wells located within the Los Angeles Basin, which is blended with water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD). These lines are both capable of handling the increase in water consumption generated by the proposed project. Water supplies for the Los Angeles Region are considered ample enough to serve existing and planned development in the area, including the proposed project. The increase of water consumption generated by the proposed project would not require or result in the construction of new water treatment facilities or expansion of existing facilities. No impact to water treatment facilities would occur. The City of El Segundo Public Works Department also provides wastewater service to the project area. The increase in wastewater would be treated at the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts Joint Water Pollution Control Plant ( JWPCP). The JWPCP has a design capacity of 385 million gallons per day (mgd) and currently processes an average flow of 328.8 mgd. There are an 8 -inch wastewater mains in Richmond Street and the alley on the east side of the property. Both wastewater mains have sufficient capacity remaining to handle the increase generated by the proposed project. The increase in wastewater generation by the proposed project can be served by existing treatment facilities and would not result in the construction of substantial new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities. No impact to wastewater treatment facilities would occur. A significant impact may occur if a proposed project would increase wastewater generation to result in a need for new systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to sewer or septic tanks. This question would apply to the proposed project only if it were located in an area not served by an existing sewer system. The proposed project site is located in a developed area of the City of El Segundo, which is served, by a wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment system operated by the City with adequate capacity to serve the project. No septic tanks or alternative disposal systems are necessary, nor are they proposed. No impact to sewer or septic tanks would occur. A significant impact may occur if the volume of storm water runoff increases to a level exceeding the capacity of the storm drain system serving the proposed project site. Runoff from the proposed project would be collected on the site and directed towards existing storm drains in the project vicinity. Runoff would be remain essentially the same because the amount of permeable surface within the project site would not be significantly altered. Because the amount of storm water runoff to the storm drain system would remain virtually unchanged, no impacts to the storm drain system would occur. No deficiencies in affected infrastructure exist now, nor are any anticipated with implementation of the proposed project. No substantive changes to storm drain facilities would be required as a result of the proposed project. No significant impact would occur. 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 reduction and recycling programs, such as the Source Reduction and Recycling Program (in compliance with the September 1989 California Integrated Solid Waste Management Act, SB 939) are greatly reducing the amount of waste 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. 1 17.

( "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 substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or X indirectly? A significant 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 proposed project would have no unmitigated significant impacts provided the mitigation measures listed above are implemented. The proposed project would not degrade the quality of the environment, reduce or threaten any fish or wildlife species (endangered or otherwise), or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or pre- history. A significant 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 does not include any significant short-term environmental effects that cannot be mitigated and therefore would not impact to achievement of long -term environmental goals. No impact would occur. A significant impact may occur if a project, in conjunction with other related projects 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 projects in the area surrounding the project site, the project's contribution to cumulative traffic, air quality, and other impact areas would be de minimis (i.e., environmental conditions would essentially be the same whether or not the proposed project is implemented). A significant impact may occur if a project has the potential to result in significant impacts, as discussed in the preceding sections. As noted in the evaluations above, the proposed project would not result in any unmitigated significant impacts. Thus, the proposed project would not have the potential to result in substantial adverse effects on human beings. 24 6 Draft Mitigation Measures Aesthetics MM -1 The maximum square footage for commercial use shall be limited to 7,784 square feet MM -2 The building plans for the parking garage and retail /restaurant area shall be stamped by an licensed Cultural Resources MM- 3 In the event that paleontological or archaeological resources are encountered during the course of grading, all development must cease in these areas until the paleontological or archaeological resources are properly assessed and subsequent recommendations are determined by a qualified paleontologist or archaeological.

Staff determined that an Addendum to the adopted Negative Declaration would be required (Environmental Assessment No. 581). The applicant proposes to add an additional 784 square feet of commercial and restaurant use to the previously approved 7,000 square feet, add an additional nine parking stalls to the parking garage, and increase the height of the parking structure from 27 feet at its highest point to 31.5 feet at its highest point. ISSUES Pursuant to the previously approved Resolution No. 4262, which allowed for 7,000 square feet of commercial space and construction of a 2.5 level parking structure that would provide 176 parking stalls (100 of which would be leased to the City of El Segundo). The following are the issues that would be affected by the proposed change in the project description: Aesthetics The applicant proposes to increase the overall height of the parking structure. According to the City of El Segundo's Zoning Ordinance the maximum height of a structure when abutting a street is 30 feet and 45 feet when abutting an alley. The applicant proposes to increase the height of the structure along Richmond Street from 27 feet to 29.3 feet, along Main Street form 17 feet to 21 feet and along the alley from 27 feet to 31.5 feet. A mitigation measure has been included in the Addendum, which limits the height of the structure to 30 feet from existing grade. (MM -2) The building plans for the parking garage and retail /restaurant area shall be stamped by an licensed architect or engineer and shall state on the plans that the height of the garage shall not exceed 30 feet from existing grade when abutting a street and 45 feet when abutting an alley. The building plans shall have a legend that clearly identifies the square footage of each commercial use, the total number of parking spaces for each garage level, plus the number of parking and loading spaces located on the grocery store site. 65 Transportation/Traffic The increase in commercial space and the addition of restaurant use would increase the required parking for the overall site. The applicant proposes to add an additional nine parking space in order to meet the required parking for the increased square footage and change of use. Currently there are four on -site grade level parking stalls that would also be utilized by the public. The increased number of parking spaces from 176 to 185 (includes grade level and parking garage spaces) provides adequate parking for the all the proposed uses. A mitigation measure has been added that would limit the amount of square footage allowed for the site to that proposed to ensure that adequate parking would always be provided for the uses on site. (MM -1) The maximum square footage for commercial use shall be limited to 7,784 square feet. The applicant will be required to keep a 20 -foot pedestrian pathway between the grocery store and the parking garage for pedestrian access to the grocery store, the parking garage, Richmond Street and the alley. The applicant cannot use this space for parking. A mitigation measure has been added to ensure that pedestrian access to the commercial uses and parking garage is not inhibited. (MM -17) A 20 -foot pedestrian pathway shall be provided between the grocery store and the parking garage for pedestrian access to the grocery store, the parking garage, Richmond Street and the alley. Based on the Initial Study and Addendum prepared in accordance with Section 15164 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act, the City determined that with the addition of the aforementioned mitigation measures the revisions to the project are minor in nature and that the criteria for requiring a subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration set forth in CEQA Guideline 15162 are not present.

RECITALS: A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Construction Agreement dated as of June 18, 2002 ( "Agreement ") governing the construction of the Parking Structure (as defined in that certain Lease Agreement between Landlord and Tenant dated as of June 18, 2002, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated as of October 29, 2002). B. Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein. All capitalized terms used in this First Amendment, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. AGREEMENT: For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby amend the Agreement in the following respects. 1. Tenant's Contribution. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Landlord is acting as the sole owner responsible for construction of the Parking Structure, as Tenant, a municipal entity, is unable to take such position. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the Cap (defined in Section 2 below), Tenant has agreed to bear one hundred percent (100 %) of the costs of design and construction of the Parking Structure in proportion to the number of parking spaces allotted to Tenant under the Lease Agreement, as amended. As such, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, the term "Tenant's Payment" wherever it appears in the Agreement is deleted and the term "Tenant's Contribution" is substituted in its place, as the parties believe that such terminology is the more appropriate characterization of Tenant's obligation as to the design and construction costs of the Parking Structure i.e., Tenant is contributing its share of such costs). 2. Development Budget. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, the third sentence of Section 3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted and restated in its entirety, as follows: "'Tenant's Contribution' shall mean all costs incurred by Landlord for the design and construction of the Parking Structure (excluding costs for any land value), multiplied by 0.5525 (i.e., the ratio that the 100 parking spaces allotted to Tenant under the terms of the Lease bears to the 181 total parking spaces in the Parking Structure); provided however, in no event shall Tenant's Contribution exceed One Million One Hundred Thousand and No /100 Dollars ($1,100,000.00) (the'Cap')." 550466 04 /W LA First Amendment to Construction Agreement �7 C3265- 002/10- 30- 02/kyh/kyh [The City of El Segundoj 3. Tax Characterization. As Tenant's obligation under Section 3 of the Agreement is an obligation to contribute its share of the costs of design and construction of the Parking Structure, the Landlord shall not be entitled to include in its basis for the Parking Structure the amount of the Tenant's Contribution actually made by Tenant; instead, Tenant shall be entitled to include such amount as a cost of its leasehold acquisition. Consistent with such treatment, Landlord will not include Tenant's Contribution as income for tax or other purposes. Landlord will report on its Federal, State and local income tax returns on a basis consistent with the foregoing.

At the last Sub - Committee meeting, it was decided to delete all non - essential components from the plan such as appliances, shelves, room dividers, etc., to reduce costs. Even with these deductions, it appears that construction cost will exceed budget. The Sub - Committee recommended that the plans be put out to bid for construction and a determination be made at that point as to the next process to be followed. The proposed project includes foundation soil compaction, a 1,600 square foot building, including activity room, storage room and restrooms, open outdoor activity area, five (5) tent sites, and site landscaping. The project cost, including design, construction, inspection and construction contingencies is estimated to be $356,000.00 and exceeds the budgeted amount of $205,000.00. The project estimate includes $25,000.00 to cement grout and compact the soil under the proposed structure.

Staff conducted a cost comparison. Blue Diamond Industries has lower prices than Vulcan Materials — 3/4" hot mix at a cost of $31.00 /ton versus $33.25/ton. In the past, Blue Diamond Industries has provided the Street Maintenance Division with satisfactory service. Again this year, Blue Diamond Industries' two (2) distribution plants are located six (6) and ten (10) miles from El Segundo. The Vulcan Materials Company's distribution plant is nineteen (19) miles from El Segundo. City staff, drive vehicles to these locations to pick up asphalt and materials. Staff recommends issuing an annual purchase order contract with Blue Diamond Industries and approval of this single source purchase order contract for the following reasons: 1. Safety of staff by driving reduced miles to retrieve asphalt and materials. 2. Availability of materials — two (2) plants versus one (1). 3.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Award the three (3) year contract to Warehouse Uniforms, Carmen's Uniforms, and Long Beach Uniform as the police department's primary suppliers of uniforms and accessories. (2) Authorize the City Manager to exercise the renewal option for an additional three (3) year period if in the City's best interest. (3) Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item. The City's police department has 108 employees who require initial issue or replacement uniforms at some point in time. This includes sworn personnel, records personnel, dispatch personnel, cadets, and volunteers. RFP #PA02 -17 was issued to (6) six companies on August 19, 2002.

ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: Uniform bid matrix FISCAL IMPACT: Operating Budget: N/A Amount Requested: 0 Account Number: N/A Project Phase: N/A Appropriation Required: _Yes x No OR AT / DATE: October 28, 2UU2 Jack Wavt. Chief of Police DATE: Man s, 16 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (continued): The three responses were evaluated with the following criteria: location, experience, facilities, ability to meet the City's needs, and cost. The City's current contract is with Long Beach Uniform. They currently provide adequate service for the department. Warehouse Uniforms, located in Westchester, has been conducting business with the City for approximately seven months as an alternate uniform store. Carmen's Uniforms, located in Torrance, occasionally provides uniforms to the City when there is no other option. Both alternate vendors have provided quick responsive service. The attached "Police Uniforms and Accessories bid" matrix summarizes the three vendor's bids. The matrix does not contain the prices of all the items on the original bid, only those which are regularly purchased. The matrix shows that the low bidder varies depending on the item to be purchased. After evaluating the three bidders, it appears that all three are qualified to meet the police department's needs. Therefore, staff recommends that all three vendors (Warehouse Uniforms, Carmen's Uniforms, and Long Beach Uniform) be selected as police department suppliers of uniforms and accessories. This allows us to purchase individual items from the lowest priced bidder and similarly priced items from the closest vendor, therefore reducing travel time and increasing savings to the city. All of the bidders are aware that the recommendation is to award the contract to three companies. RECOMMENDATION Based on all the factors involved, it is recommended the City Council award the Police Uniforms and Accessories contract to Warehouse Uniforms, Carmen's Uniforms, and Long Bach Uniform. In addition, authorize the City Manager to exercise the renewal option for an additional three (3) year period if in the City's best interest. 921- Police Uniforms and Accessories matrix 9i Warehouse Uniforms Carmen's Uniforms Long Beach Uniform L/S uniform shirt $54.00 $64.50 $66.95 S/S uniform shirt $46.00 $53.50 $51.95 Uniform trousers $65.00 $69.95 $65.95 Motor breeches $150.00 $164.95 $159.95 Uniform jacket $98.00 $99.95 $79.95 Sam Browne belt $44.50 $39.95 $46.95 Holster $98.00 $98.50 $109.95 Ammo case $26.80 $31.50 $28.95 Handcuff case $24.30 $22.50 $26.95 Mace case $21.10 $18.50 $22.95 Rain Gear $98.00 $99.95 $116.95 Streamlight $102.00 $98.50 $99.95 Pelican light $98.00 $92.50 $94.95 Class "C" BDU (top and bottom) $48.00 / $48.00 $25.00 / $25.00 $49.95 / $45.95 Edwards pant (dispatch / records) $19.95 $18.50 $18.95 Shirts - Records $19.95 $29.95 $23.95 Shirts - Dispatch $14.75 $19.95 $15.95 9i EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 6, 2002 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action regarding Resolutions giving approval to apply for grant funds from the Proposition 12 Per Capita Grant Program ($152,000) and Roberti- Z'Berg Block Grant Program ($49,061) with a City match ($21,026).

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Recommendation — (1) Form a City Council subcommittee comprised of two Council Members for the purpose of examining new business recruitment incentives for a period not to exceed 90 days; (2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: The impact of the current economic recession is continuing to affect El Segundo's business community and the City's revenue stream including business license and sales tax revenues. For instance, the Class A office vacancy rates have increased from less than 10% to more than 20% over the past 18 months. And, a number of businesses have reduced their workforce or closed during the past year. Consequently, it would be timely to examine additional business recruitment incentives in an effort to offset these economic losses.

Both Mayor Mike Gordon and Thomas Properties Group LLC lawyer, Dale Goldsmith, responded to the media with the baseless claims that this environmental issue was "studied" by the city, which found no problem. I have one simple question: What studies? Having read the draft and final EIR, I found no study of chromium risks on the site, particularly on the proposed soccer fields. The only study of which I know is Northrop's risk assessment based on 1991 emissions. However, that study was not placed into the record of environmental review of this project; why not? CAGES raised this issue because a few simple facts convinced us that it was a valid issue. These include: • Northrop Grumman's November 9, 2001 letter cautioning the city about hexavalent chromium and recommending no playgrounds or athletic facilities be located within the "cancer risk from toxic air pollution map." • The developer's rendering shows the soccer fields within the area of "cancer risk" on the Northrop map now on file with the Planning Division, but this map was omitted from the EIR. • The expert brought in by the developer to testify on this issue said California considers even a 1 -in -a- million risk to be significant. • Northrop records on file with the Air Quality Management District indicate the risks at 7.6 in one million on at least one off -site property. • Juries in recent toxic tort cases have awarded hundreds of millions of dollars to plaintiffs who were not sick and could prove only exposure to a hazardous substance. We request that the city identify the chromium studies upon which the City Council based its approval of this project.
