BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: In March 1992, an environmental settlement agreement along with a mitigation monitoring implementation plan (MMIP) was entered into between the City of El Segundo and the City of Los Angeles for the purposes of monitoring and mitigating the environmental impacts of the expansion and upgrade of HTP. The MMIP document provided a mechanism to address and resolve impacts during the expansion of the plant. Each party had a representative that served as a mitigation monitor and was responsible for the communication and resolution of impacts during the expansion of the plant. Per the agreement, the City of Los Angeles paid for El Segundo's mitigation monitor (currently under contract with RBF Consulting). The MMIP agreement also provided for a monthly Hyperion Citizens Forum. This successful forum has been in existence for over 10 years and is attended by El Segundo Council Members, residents, and Hyperion staff to openly discuss ongoing impacts, such as odors.

ADJOURNMENT at 11:50 a.m. Cindy Mortesen, City Clerk 021 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 7/15/03 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action regarding the acceptance of the FY 2003 -04 Estimated Revenue and Appropriation assumptions. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Direct staff to proceed with FY 2003 -2004 Estimated Revenue and Appropriation Assumptions; (2) Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: This is the step in the budgetary process to review the revenue and appropriation assumptions for the upcoming fiscal year. Staff is in process of preparing the FY 2003- 2004 Preliminary Budget and currently total General Fund expenditures are estimated $2.0 to $2.5 million higher than FY 2002 -2003, while revenues are estimated to be $1.5 to $2.0 million less than FY 2002 -2003. This combination has produced an estimated FY 2003- 2004 gap of approximately $3.75 million. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None FISCAL IMPACT: Operating Budget: Amount Requested: Account Number: Project Phase: Appropriation Required: _Yes X No • r� X,e 'It, Bret M. Plumlee, Director of Administrative Services BY: 9�3 Mary renn, City Manager 5 11_- BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (Continued): General Fund Expenditures The increase in expenditures is attributable to a number of factors outside of the City's direct control. The State of California is continuing to anticipate a FY 2003 -2004 deficit of just over $38 billion. This may have a potential impact on the City of up to $1.5 million mainly in a possible reduction in Vehicle License fees. The CalPers investment portfolio, which assumed 8.25% increases, has taken losses the past three years. This is having a substantial impact on both safety and non - safety employer rates from PERS. Staff had anticipated increases in the future rates and set aside some funds each of the past two fiscal years to help offset the costs. Health costs have increased over 50% the past two fiscal years and will increase 18% effective January 1, 2004 with anticipated increases ranging from 12% to 20% each of the next four years. Worker's compensation, liability and property insurance premiums have continued to rise. General Fund Revenues On the revenue side, sales tax is estimated to decrease $750,000 in FY 2003 -2004. Other sources of revenue estimated lower in FY 2003 -2004 include a decrease of franchise fees of $500,000; business license fees of $200,000; and communication center fees of $434,000. Additionally, there were a number of one -time revenue sources included in the FY 2002 -2003 budget that are not included in FY 2003 -2004. These one -time revenue sources total approximately $1,400,000. These decreases will be somewhat offset by anticipated increases in property taxes of $400,000, transient occupancy taxes of $200,000; and gas utility user taxes of $750,000. While El Segundo continues to be well diversified and positioned for the future, we are taking extra precautions for at least the next two fiscal years that will be reflected in the budget assumptions. FY 2003 -2004 APPROPRIATION ASSUMPTIONS Included below is a list of FY 2003 -2004 revenue budget assumptions. It is not expected that these assumptions will change much as we progress through the budget process. ➢ The objective of the budget is to maintain service levels through current staffing and appropriate contracted services; however, no new positions will be funded and many vacant positions will be frozen and unbudgeted. Scheduled maintenance programs for streets, trees, parks and parkway activities will be continued. !1 2 3 ➢ PERS safety employer costs increased 11.1 % or $1.3 million July 1, 2003 and an additional 14.0% or $1.68 million July 1, 2004 while miscellaneous rates will increase from 0% to 6.1% July 1, 2004. ➢ Worker's compensation rate increases ranging from 20% to 50% are reflected in every department's operational budget. ➢ Non - safety departments have been asked to reduce their budgets 5% across the board and there are a number of safety and non - safety positions that will be frozen, eliminated, or reorganized. Total estimated budget savings from these reductions are just over $1.2 million. ➢ Either extending the life or eliminating obsolete equipment from the list will reduce Equipment Replacement General Fund charges to all departments. Total estimated budget savings from these reductions is just over $450,000. ➢ Liability charges to the General Fund have been reduced $200,000 based on historical payments. ➢ Health costs will increase 18 %, or $650,000 effective January 1, 2004. They are estimated to increase an additional 12 to 20% each of the next four years. ➢ General Liability and Workers' Compensation premiums are estimated to increase significantly for the second year in a row. The worker's compensation self- insured retention has been reduced and future premium increases have been mitigated attributable to the City of El Segundo joining the ICRMA Worker's Compensation Pool January 1, 2003. Twenty -three out of the twenty -eight member cities in the ICRMA pool have joined this program as of July 1, 2003. As a result, the City's self- insured retention has been reduced from $750,000 to $350,000. ➢ Combined Capital improvement appropriations totaling $1,915,000 from all funding sources is recommended by the Capital Improvement Project Committee, City Council and staff. ➢ General Fund transfers to the Capital Improvement Fund have been reduced 50% or $750,000. ➢ General Fund transfer to the Infrastructure Replacement Fund will be reduced up to $500,000 if necessary to balance the budget. ➢ New programs appropriations totaling $241,600 is recommended by the City Council and staff. Of these programs, the General Fund will fund only $20,600. ➢ Budget will include $2.3 million in funding for the Residential Sound Insulation program to complete an additional estimated 100 homes. �i24 ➢ Sales tax is estimated to decrease $750,000 or 8 %. This is mainly attributable to a substantial reduction in the top 10 sales tax producers and the business to business sales, which make up over 60% of total sales tax. ➢ Property Taxes are assumed to increase 6 %, which is the estimated increase in assessed valuation for the entire Los Angeles County. This percentage change will be revised prior to budget adoption when staff receives the City's specific increase in assessed valuation. ➢ Utility User's Tax (UUT) revenues, which have continued to come in higher than anticipated, are estimated to increase $630,000 from the FY 2002 -2003 budget. Cc generated electricity is estimated at $950,000, which is slightly higher than historical levels. ➢ Transient Occupancy taxes are estimated to increase $200,000 in FY 2003 -2004 mainly attributable to an increase in occupancy while the rates remain lower than historical levels. ➢ Business License taxes are assumed to decrease $180,000 based on an estimated net job loss of 1,900. Since there is no cost of living indexing, this revenue source is expected to gradually erode. ➢ The cost of natural gas has returned to normal levels after two years of record highs and California is no longer experiencing electric energy shortages. Franchise fees will decrease an estimated $500,000 in FY 2003 -2004 attributable to a reduction in the extent of pooling of the gas municipal surcharges that occurred in FY 2002- 2003. ➢ Budget assumes a $79 million improvement valuation related to new commercial and industrial construction projects. This is roughly equivalent to the estimated increase in assessed valuation in FY 2002 -2003 and therefore will reflect only a minor increase in estimated building and plan check revenues in FY 2003 -2004. ➢ Property Taxes based on this new construction are estimated to be $57,600. ➢ The Water Fund will be evaluated to include an increase. A Task Force of El Segundo residents and business owners will be formed to analyze the need and recommendation for future water and sewer rate increases. This Task Force will be formed once the water and sewer rate studies are completed by AKM. The FY 2003 -2004 Preliminary Budget will reflect at least a 15% anticipated increase in these rates. ➢ Due to the concerns of the State's budget and the possibility of balancing the budget at the expense of local agencies, VLF is estimated to be $652,000 or the same as the FY 2003 -2004 Budget. This reflects a 25% decrease from historical levels of revenue received. ➢ The State of California has significantly reduced reimbursements of state mandated costs. These reductions are reflected in the FY 2002 -2003 Adopted Budget and will continue reflect a net reduction of $30,000 in the FY 2003 -2004 Preliminary Budget. 025 ➢ The State has also reduced Library PLF funds for the second year in a row an estimated $7,000 to $10,000. ➢ $100,000 in COPS grants funding provided by the State is fully funded at this time. If the State reduces this revenue source, staff will reflect the reduction in the adopted budget. ➢ Revenues generated from the Corporate Campus project are not estimated to be significant until at least FY 2004 -2005. ➢ $250,000 will be transferred from a $750,000 dry period fund for each of the next three fiscal years to partially fund the PERS employer rate increases. 026 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: July 15, 2003 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action regarding acceptance of the project forthe Installation of an ADA Elevator at City Hall (350 Main Street) — Approved Capital Improvement Program — Project No. PW 02 -18 — CDBG Project No. 600069 -01 - (Contract Amount = $224,655.37).

(2) Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item. Raruron The police department patrol division vehicles currently are equipped with the Datalux Mobile Data Computer systems. The department utilizes MDC systems in each patrol unit as a tool for sending and receiving information to and from the communications center, as well as other informational databases including the DMV, CLETS, NCIC, and WPS. As any computer system, they often become outdated within a few years. The current systems were purchased in 1999. They consist of a 233 MHz Pentium MMX PC with 32 MB of RAM memory and a 2 GB hard drive. These specifications are no longer useful because of the following reasons: • They require constant service, which requires the units be sent to Virginia. Current specifications will not be useable with the proposed Automated Vehicle Locator (AVL) upgrade. • Minimum 500 MHz PC is needed with the AVL system. Screen is not viewable with daylight.

Some of the criteria used in evaluating the systems were: 1. Minimum operating technical specifications, i.e. minimum 500 MHz PC, RAM, and hard drive space. increased 2. Compatibility to upgraded Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and AVL systems. 3. Ergonomics 4. Sunlight viewable screen 5. Reliability 6. Service record The proposed system is manufactured and sold solely by Data 911. It consists of four separate components: I. SunView display unit 2. Keyboard 3. Power Supply 4. Processor unit Separation of the system in these modules provides more flexible mounting options, better ergonomics, and the complete accommodation of airbag safety restrictions. The current system is a one -piece unit. When the unit needs to be sent for service, the enti unit is taken out of service. A modular system would allow more effective t re roubleshooting when problems arise. It would allow a portion of the computer to be sent for service instead of the entire unit. Funds for the purchase of these computers would be made with COPS grant and CLEEP grant funds. The COPS grant was established during the 1996 California legislative session when the state government adopted legislation to provide a block grant for law enforcement purposes. These funds are part of the property taxes collected in California. All funds.received under this grant must be utilized to supplement local law enforcement activities and cannot be used to supplant existing funding. The grant guidelines state the funds may be used for "front line law enforcement," including hiring officers, buying equipment or computers, or paying for anti - crime programs. The purchase of these computers using COPS funds would fall within grant guidelines. The main provision of the California Law Enforcement Equipment Program grant indicates that funds shall be used for purchase of high - technology equipment. This equipment falls within that provision. This purchase has been reviewed and approved by the city technology committee. 03 1, a BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION CONTINUED: COSTS 15 Data 911 M5 Mobile Data Computer Systems @ $6083.45 ea, totaling $91,251.75 plus related equipment, installation, and warranty for a grand total Of $114,701.08.

On May 22, 2003, the Planning Commission reviewed the draft EIS /EIR for the project and unanimously recommended Council approval of the project. The purpose of tonight's meeting is for the City Council to consider and take action on the Final EIS /EIR, the Resolution of LAFCO Application and the Reorganization Agreement for the project. This staff report aims to highlight the various components to the project, identify the actions required of the City Council, identify significant issues that have yet to be resolved, and discuss a number of important actions that would have to take place outside the control of the City Council after certification of the EIS /EIR for the project to be implemented. To begin, staff has provided a brief outline of the topics in this report 1) Project Description 2) Items for Council Action: a) CEQA (certification of Final EIS /EIR) i) Summary of Project Impacts ii) Statement of Overriding Considerations b) LAFCO Reorganization Application (Adoption of Resolution of Application) c) Reorganization Agreement 3) Actions that have to occur and have to become final and take effect after this evening in order for project to be carried out: a) Hawthorne adopts entitlements on Area A and Lawndale Annex (July 16) b) Hawthorne adopts LAFCO Resolution of Application (July 16) c) LAAFB issue ROD with respect to the NEPA determination for the Project d) LAFCO approves reorganization (August 13) e) Components of the Financing Plan must be approved i) Hawthorne adopts Redevelopment Plan for Areas A and B (September 8) ii) El Segundo introduces ordinance approving the Redevelopment Plan for inclusion of Areas A and B in Hawthorne Redevelopment Area No. 2 (September 2, 2003) iii) Inclusionary Housing Requirement iv) Hawthorne and SAMS Venture LLC resolve issues relating to development fees; v) The County enters into an agreementladopts resolution whereby the County's tax revenues from Area A are transferred to Hawthorne; vi) Bonds issued for the financing of the improvements on Area A. f) No protest of LAFCO actions or LAFCO reconsideration hearing g) SAMS Venture LLC enters into an unconditional agreement with the LAAFB to build the Air Force Base facilities on Area B. h) SAMS Venture LLC constructs LAAFB Facilities. 1) Project Description Briefly, the proposed project consists of the possible conveyance, development and use of four properties currently belonging to the Los Angeles Air Force Base ( LAAFB), which are UUR STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 Page 3 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) referred to as: Area A, Area B, the Lawndale Annex, and the Sun Valley property. Under the proposed concept, Area A, the Lawndale Annex and the Sun Valley property will be conveyed to a private developer (a partnership of Kearny, Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund IV, and Catellus — "SAMS Venture LLC ") in exchange for constructing new buildings (560,000 square feet) for the Air Force on Area B. In the DEIS /EIR, Area A was analyzed with a maximum of 850 condominium units and Area B was analyzed with a maximum of 300 condominium units. Since no new development is proposed on Sun Valley Property, it was analyzed with its existing industrial/ warehouse use. A complete project description is contained in the attached Planning Commission staff report (Exhibit D). Subsequent to the distribution of the Planning Commission staff report, the developer agreed to reduce the density on Area A from 850 units (22 units /acre) to a maximum of 750 units (19 units /acre) and agreed to reduce the density on the Lawndale Annex from 300 units to a maximum of 280 units. It is noteworthy that the City has received comments to the effect that if the proposed project does not proceed and the Air Force does close its facilities on Area A and Area B that such properties would eventually become tax generating commercial properties. However, under a myriad of federal regulations, including the Defense Authorization Amendments and Base Closure and Realignment Act, the properties must first be offered for use to other federal agencies, homeless assistance program providers, public benefit transfers, and local redevelopment authorities. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict what uses Area A and B would ultimately host should the military facilities be closed on these properties. 2) Items for Council Action a) CEQA The primary role of the City in the entitlement processing for the LAAFB project is to take action on the (EIS /EIR). For purposes of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City is the lead agency in the preparation of the EIS /EIR. The City of Hawthorne and the Hawthorne Redevelopment Agencies are responsible agencies under CEQA. The United States Air Force is the lead agency for purposes of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). As the Council will recall, early on in the LAAFB project, the City prepared a draft EIR forthe commercial development of Area A as part of the project. After consultation with the Air Force and the City of Hawthorne, all three parties agreed to prepare a joint EIS /EIR instead that would examine the impacts of the entire LAAFB project in one environmental document. The attached Planning Commission staff report from May 22, 2003 summarizes in greater detail the environmental review process that has taken place. Subsequent to that meeting, the Final EIS /EIR was distributed for public review on July 3, 2003. It was also sent to all public agencies that provided comment on the draft EIS /EIR ten days before tonight's meeting as required by CEQA. If the City Council certifies the EIS /EIR (Draft Resolution attached as Exhibit 1), the City of Hawthorne would also have to take action on the document in order to use it as the 003 STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 Page 4 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) environmental document for the entitlements for the development of the residential projects on Area A and the Lawndale Annex. Hawthorne may not take final action on any of the project entitlements until El Segundo certifies the EIS /EIR. Hawthorne is scheduled to take final actions on Wednesday, July 16, 2003. I) Summary of Project Impacts Because the Draft EIS /EIR is written to provide an environmental analysis to satisfy the requirements of both CEQA and NEPA, there are differences in the standards for determining the significance of environmental impacts. Under CEQA, the Draft EIS /EIR concluded that there would be significant unavoidable impacts on aesthetics, transportation, libraries, parks, short-term soils and geology, air quality, short-term construction noise, and operational noise, after the implementation of all feasible mitigation measures. Some of these impacts apply to both the proposed action and the project alternatives; others only apply to one or more of the project alternatives. As the lead agency for CEQA compliance, the City of El Segundo is responsible for evaluating the potential impacts of all the project alternatives. However, the City is only required to make findings related to the potential impacts associated with the proposed action, not the project alternatives. The significant unavoidable project related CEQA impacts of the proposed action would be on aesthetics, transportation, libraries, parks, air quality, and short-term construction noise. The Draft EIS /EIR also concluded that the proposed project, in conjunction with other planned and approved projects, would contribute to a significant unavoidable cumulative traffic, mobile source air emissions, and regional solid waste impact. The Planning Commission Staff Report attached as Exhibit 3 includes a discussion of each of these issues. As a result of these findings, in order for the City to take action on the project, the City Council must adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations. On June 12, 2003, staff received a copy of a memo from the Hawthorne Police Department (Exhibit 4) stating that since the size of the project has been reduced, it would not assess the impact of the project on police services until the project is built. Consequently, there is no need for three to four officers as a result of the project and no mitigation fees would be required to offset the impact on police services. Col. Bracket of the Air Force Space Command submitted a letter to the City on May 22, 2003 (Exhibit 5) explaining that the "No- action Alternative,, in the Draft EIS /EIR would not be a viable option for the LAAFB base to pursue. According to the letter, the cost of renovating the existing facilities on Area A would be significantly more than relocating to new facilities. Additionally, the letter goes on to state that traditional military construction (MILCON) funding sources are not expected to become available to renovate the base. 004 STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) ii) Statement of Overriding Considerations Page 5 The California Environmental Quality Act and the State CEQA Guidelines provide that: "CEQA requires the decision - making agency to balance, as applicable, the economic, legal, social, technological or other benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project. If the specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of the proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental impacts may be considered "acceptable ". (15093(a)" Where the decision of the public agency allows the occurrence of significant effects which are identified in the final EIR but are not at least substantially mitigated, the agency shall state in writing the specific reasons to support its action based on the final EIR and /or other information in the record. This statement is necessary if the agency also makes a finding under Section 15091 (a)(3). Project benefits are defined as those improvements or gains to the community that would not occur without the proposed project. As stated in the Final EIS /EIR, the proposed project would result in significant unavoidable project related CEQA impacts relative to aesthetics, transportation, libraries, parks, air quality, and short- term construction noise, The following substantial benefits will occur as a result of approval of the proposed project: (1) The Project is the best option for upgrading the USAF facilities, and thereby preventing the LAAFB from being closed or relocated out of southern California as part of the BRAC process. Deteriorating facilities such as exist on the LAAFB as well as substandard seismic and life safety building standards such as exist on the LAAFB are important criteria under the BRAC process for determining whether a military facility should be closed (Exhibit 6). The Project will allow for the redevelopment of the existing LAAFB facilities and remove existing unattractive and unsafe buildings and conditions. The Project, therefore, will substantially increase the likelihood of retaining the LAAFB in southern California by allowing the construction of the SAMS Center on Area B. The construction of the SAMS Center is expected to save approximately $3.5 million in annual operations and maintenance for the USAF. (2) The LAAFB currently provides approximately 65,000 jobs, and is projected to provide approximately 75,000 jobs directly and indirectly through considerable government contracts to local aerospace companies, currently valued at $8,500,000,000 per year and expected to increase to $10, 000,000,000 per year 00") STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) Page 6 (Exhibit 7). Most of the jobs and contracts created by the LAAFB exist in the City, Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach, and surrounding communities. (3) The Project replaces currently underutilized USAF sites and replaces unsafe USAF buildings with private uses that generate sufficient value to support the construction of the new facilities for the USAF at no cost to the federal government. (4) The Project will create attractive, well- designed residential development immediately adjacent to the City to serve the expected demand for new housing in the region, which will further strengthen the sense of community, adhere to livable community principles, and enhance the quality of life in southern California. (5) The Project will improve the region's jobs /housing balance by providing new housing close to major employers. (6) The Project facilitates of the long -term economic health of the City and its neighboring cities and communities. (7) The Project provides for residential housing rather than commercial development, which is preferred by the City of Hawthorne and the majority of the Hawthorne residents that have spoken out with respect to the Project. The Reorganization Agreement provides this residential component desired by Hawthorne while providing El Segundo with assurances with respect to the use of tax revenues derived from Area A. Thus, the "transfer" of property of Area A from El Segundo has been accomplished through a mutually beneficial agreement. Staff recommends that the City Council find that the approval of the project could result in significant unavoidable impacts relative to aesthetics, transportation, libraries, parks, air quality, and short-term construction noise. Implementation of mitigation measures would substantially reduce some of significant unavoidable impacts but not completely mitigate any of them. Staff recommends that the Council find that these immitigable impacts are outweighed by the project benefits described above and therefore acceptable. b) LAFCO Application On January 21, 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4293, authorizing staff to file a preliminary application (attached to Exhibit 3) for reorganization with the Local Agency Formation Commission of Los Angeles to detach Area A and surrounding right - of -ways from the City of El Segundo and allow the annexation of this land by the City of Hawthorne. At about the same time, the City of Hawthorne adopted a similar resolution. 006 STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 Page 7 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) The annexation area includes the approximately 39.24 acre Area A of the LAAFB. A Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way occupies approximately 4.82 acres of the annexation area abutting the south side of Area A. There are local railroad tracts and a wireless communications facility, operated by Sprint, located in the right -of -way. An on- and off -ramp to the San Diego (1 -405) Freeway occupies approximately 2.8 acres of the annexation area on the east side of Area A. Street right -of -ways in Aviation and El Segundo Boulevards comprise the remaining approximately 3.2 acres of the 50.1 acre annexation area. The purpose of the proposed reorganization is to facilitate the construction of the residential development on Area A of the Air Force Base. In authorizing the preliminary reorganization application, the City Council expressed its policy of not permitting residential development in the City of El Segundo east of Sepulveda Boulevard. The majority of services that support residential development in the City (i.e., parks, libraries, police, schools, City Hall, churches) are located in the northwest quadrant of the City. Development of a residential project on Area A within El Segundo would result in a residential community divided geographically and separated from the support structures the rest of the community enjoys. In order for LAFCO to consider the proposed reorganization, the City is required to adopt a resolution of application (Exhibit 2). The EIS /EIR for the LAAFB project also serves as the EIR for the reorganization application. In acting on the application, LAFCO must consider the EIS /EIR in its role as a responsible agency under CEQA. The resolution /application provides that it will not become effective until Hawthorne adopts a similar resolution and the Reorganization Agreement is fully executed. The reason for these conditions is to provide assurances to El Segundo that Hawthorne and the developer are committed to requesting that LAFCO condition the reorganization to include the terms and condition set forth in the Reorganization Agreement (discussed below). Additionally, the proposed El Segundo and Hawthorne resolutions request that LAFCO not approve the reorganization if LAFCO is unwilling to incorporate the key terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement into is potential approval. If approved by LAFCO, the reorganization would transferthe 50.1 acre annexation area into the City of Hawthorne. El Segundo would no longer be responsible for police or fire service for the area. Children living in the Area A development would attend schools in the Wiseburn and Centinela Valley School Districts. Since the annexation area would draw the new boundary line at the centerline of Aviation and El Segundo Boulevards bordering Area A, staff has had discussions with Hawthorne staff regarding maintenance of the median islands in El Segundo and Aviation Boulevards, which would be located in both cities as a result of the new boundary line. Management of both cities recommends that El Segundo be responsible for maintenance of the landscaped median on El Segundo Boulevard between Aviation Boulevard and Isis Avenue and that Hawthorne be responsible for maintaining the paved median island on Aviation Boulevard between El Segundo Boulevard and the r STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) southern boundary of Area A. c) Reorganization Agreement ;me The Reorganization Agreement (Exhibit C to Exhibit 2) is an attempt to provide some assurances to the City of El Segundo with respect to the transfer of Area A and the other properties that are part of the reorganization to the City of Hawthorne. There are two contingencies dealt with in the Agreement: (1) The potential that all of the necessary approvals and agreements are not attained by November 30, 2003; and (2) the potential that the transfer of the property will become final but the Air Force Base facilities are not constructed and Area A is not acquired by SAMS Venture, LLC or its successor in interest. There are other potential scenarios that could develop whereby the Air Force Base Facilities are not built. However, the above two scenarios are the only scenarios where the City of Hawthorne and the developer would agree to provide the City of El Segundo with some potential protection. There are a number of risks associated with the way the approvals and agreements are structured from a timing point of view. As is discussed in more detail below, staff has been informed that if construction activities do not commence prior to the end of 2003 that there is a substantial chance that the Air Force Base will be designated for closure as a result of the 2004 BRAC process. Thus, in order to achieve all of the necessary approvals and agreements (particularly LAFCO's approval of the transfer of Area A and associated properties to Hawthorne) such that construction can begin this year, it is necessary that many of the approvals and agreements be acted upon subsequent to the actions the Council is being asked to consider at this time. For example, the developer's agreement to actually construct the Air Force Base Facilities will not be executed, if at all, until sometime in November of this year. Staff would have preferred that all of the project approvals and agreements would have been brought forward at the same time and the only approval that would have been made subsequent to the approval and agreements would have been LAFCO's approval of the transfer of Area A and associated properties. The Reorganization Agreement attempts to give the City of El Segundo and Hawthorne the ability to cancel the transfer of the annexation area to Hawthorne should all of the approvals and agreements identified above not occur on or before November 30, 2003, or if there is a timely legal challenge to such approvals and agreements. This gives El Segundo some protection against the loss of Area A and associated properties should the approvals and agreements not occur in a timely fashion. However, if LAFCO does not incorporate a condition in its action approving the transfer of Area A and associated properties that effectively allows for El Segundo and Hawthorne to cancel the transfer, then this portion of the Reorganization Agreement will be of no force or effect. It is not known whether LAFCO staff will support the inclusion of this condition in its recommendation for the project to the LAFCO Commission. G 0 8 STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) Page 9 The Reorganization Agreement also provides that if the transfer of annexation area to Hawthorne is approved by LAFCO, but (i) the Agreement between the Air Force and the developer is terminated or amended such that the Base Facilities are not required to be constructed and the developer has not already constructed the foundations for the facilities, or (ii) the developer has not commenced construction of the SAMS project on Area B on or before December 31, 2007. Unless and until the SAMS project is constructed the City of Hawthorne shall be required to make annual payments to El Segundo as follows: To the extent all or any portion of Area A is developed for residential uses, Hawthorne shall pay El Segundo an amount equal to 50% of the property taxes generated from such uses after all costs of Hawthorne providing services to such residential uses and all of Hawthorne's affordable housing costs for Area A have been satisfied. ii) To the extent all, or a portion of Area A is developed for non - residential uses, Hawthorne shall pay El Segundo an amount equal to 37.5% of the property taxes received from such non - residential uses and 50% of all other revenue generated by such non - residential uses. Hawthorne can terminate its obligation to make such payments to El Segundo by transferring the annexation area back to El Segundo. El Segundo would be obligated to undertake all lawful actions to assist in such transfer or otherwise risk loss of the payments from Hawthorne. If Hawthorne does attempt to transfer the annexation area back to El Segundo, El Segundo will need to determine at such time if it wants the properties A back (with the land uses constructed on Area A) or whether it would rather forego the payments from Hawthorne. Finally, with respect to the payments that might be made by Hawthorne as described above, staff believes it is unlikely that El Segundo would receive any payments for a substantial period of time from the residential use of Area A. The Reorganization agreement does not, again, deal with all of the potential contingencies that could occur with respect to the project. For example, there is the potential that Area A and associated properties could be transferred to Hawthorne, the Air Force facilities are built but then the Air Force subsequently stops utilizing the new facilities for military purposes. In this scenario, Hawthorne would have no obligation to make payments to El Segundo measured by the amount of taxes generated by the annexation area as the tax increments from Area A will have already been pledged to the development of Area B. 3) Actions that have to occur after Council action on Reorganization in order for the project to be implemented Due to the complexities of the project, including procedural requirements by LAFCO and timing constraints placed on the project by the Air Force, successful completion of the project requires that all entitlements and other project approvals and the developer's 0 0 �) STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) Page 10 agreement with the Air Force Base be in full force and effect by November 30, 2003. In order for this to be accomplished, while at the same time following procedural requirements of El Segundo, Hawthorne, and LAFCO, it is necessary for El Segundo to complete its portion of the project review before Hawthorne completes its entitlement process and before LAFCO takes action on the reorganization of Area A of the LAAFB. If Hawthorne and /or LAFCO do not take the actions anticipated by staff to approve their portions of the project within the timeframes identified in the section above that immediately precedes "Project Description," the November 30, 2003, deadline will not be met, even though the City Council takes all the actions tonight that are required of the City to implement the project. Staff feels it is important to make clearthat there are actions which are outside the control of the City of El Segundo that are critical forthe project to move forward and forthe goal of retaining the LAAFB to be achieved and that many of these actions will take place after the City Council has completed its portion of the entitlement process. Below is a discussion in more detail of each of the critical actions that must take place. a) Hawthorne adopts entitlements on Area A and Lawndale Annex (July 16) Under the provisions of CEQA, the City of Hawthorne, as a responsible agency, cannot take any actions on the entitlements on Area A and the Lawndale Annex until El Segundo, as lead agency, certifies the EIS /EIR. Hawthorne introduced ordinances to approve all of the required entitlements on July 7, 2003 and is scheduled to adopt the entitlements on July 16, 2003. The actions Hawthorne would be taking include adoption of a general plan amendment, specific plan, zone change, subdivision, and development agreement for the residential development that would take place on Area A and the Lawndale Annex. Since Area A would be detached from El Segundo and annexed into Hawthorne as part of the proposed project, Hawthorne is responsible for pre- zoning the site. Staff is aware that many members of the public have expressed concern about the density of the project, particularly on Area A. If the Hawthorne City Council reduces the density allowed in the specific plans for Area A or the Lawndale Annex below 750 units and 280 units, respectively, it could jeopardize the financial viability of the LAAFB conveyance, construction and development project because the density for the residential development is the basis for determining the value of the land that the developer would realize in exchange for spending $115 million in construction costs for the Air Force's new facilities on Area B. As the Council will recall, the City stopped consideration of a commercial development on Area A when the developer determined that a residential project, which was preferred by the Hollyglen community, could generate sufficient revenue to match the commercial project revenue that is needed to finance the $115 million Air Force facilities. Since the value of the revenue generation potential of the residential project is related to the number of units, if Hawthorne were unwilling to adopt specific plans for Area A and the Lawndale Annex that allow for enough density to support the project on Area B, as a result of community pressure, retention of the base would be put in jeopardy. 0 10 STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) b) Hawthorne adopts LAFCO Resolution of Application (July 16) Page 11 LAFCO must approve the proposed reorganization to allow the detachment of approximately 50 acres of land, which includes Area A of the LAAFB, right -of -way owned by Caltrans and the Union Pacific Railroad, and street right -of -way on Aviation and El Segundo Boulevards from the City of El Segundo and the annexation of this land into the City of Hawthorne. The intent of the reorganization is to allow the residential development of Area A of the LAAFB within the City of Hawthorne instead of within the City of El Segundo. Before LAFCO can consider the reorganization, both cities must adopt a resolution of application. The El Segundo City Council is scheduled to consider adopting a Resolution of Application (Exhibit 2) tonight and the Hawthorne City Council is scheduled to consider adoption of a similar resolution on July 16, 2003. Again, El Segundo's Resolution will not become effective until Hawthorne adopts its resolution in a form identical to El Segundo's (Exhibit D to Exhibit 2). In order for all of the challenge periods to run out before November 30, 2003, LAFCO must approve the reorganization application by August 13, 2003. On June 25, 2003, LAFCO voted to waive its 21 -day notice period, as allowed by law, so that it is possible that LAFCO may act on the reorganization on July 23 instead of August 13. However, any delay on El Segundo or Hawthorne's part in submitting the Resolutions of Application could delay action by LAFCO beyond the August 13 deadline. If this deadline is not met, the November 30 deadline will not be met. c) United States Air Force signs Record of Decision (August As the lead agency for purposes of NEPA on the EIS /EIR, the United States Air Force is responsible for certifying the EIS portion of the EIS /EIR. This is accomplished by the Air Force approving the Record of Decision (ROD). The ROD is the legally binding document that stipulates all of the mitigation measures that the Air Force will be responsible for implementing. The Air Force is scheduled to sign the ROD, thereby completing the NEPA process on August 8, 2003. d) LAFCO approves reorganization (August 13) Staff is recommending that the Council consider adoption of a Reorganization Agreement that would be an agreement between the El Segundo, Hawthorne, the Hawthorne Redevelopment Agency, and the developer as a way to address some of the uncertainties of the process that could adversely affect the interests of El Segundo. On June 25, 2003, LAFCO voted to waive its public hearing for the reorganization application as is allowed by law. As a result, LAFCO may be able to make a decision on the reorganization on July 23 instead of August 13 as originally scheduled. e) Financing Plan must be approved Through the process of competitive bidding, the developer was awarded the right to G i I STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 Page 12 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) construct the new Air Force base facilities on Area B in exchange for receiving land (Area A, Lawndale Annex and Sun Valley Property) based on a proposed funding package. The cost to construct the new facilities will be $115 million. Through a competitive process, the United States Air Force has agreed to accept responsibility for $11 million of costs, either by reducing the costs of construction or some other means of providing additional payments to the developer. The developer has proposed to finance its costs by the sale of the three properties that the developer would receive from the Air Force ($80 million) and the sale of Mello Roos bonds and tax allocation bonds based on special taxes and the increased property tax valuation that would be created by the new development on Area A and the Lawndale Annex ($24 -39.5 million). This $24 -39.5 million is the public funding requirement for the project. The City of Hawthorne hired a financial advisor, Keyser, Marston & Associates (KMA), to review the financial estimates on behalf of the City of Hawthorne (Exhibit 8). El Segundo hired the firm of Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates (FRA) to review the developer's estimates and the KMA analysis. Both KMA and FRA have verified that the developer's estimates for construction costs and property value appear to be reasonable and accurate (Exhibit 9). The sufficiency of available funding based on tax increment and Mello Roos special taxes are reasonable, given the assumptions for the number, type and market values of the residential units to be constructed. It is important to point out that the financing proposals for the project have evolved since the beginning of the project and are likely to continue to evolve even after project entitlements are in place. There are many variables in the processes; particularly those involved with the issuance of bonds that make it difficult to evaluate the likelihood that the financing will be successful. For instance, the initial estimates of the feasibility of using tax increment financing to raise $24 million was based on an analysis that 850 units would be built on Area A. To the best of staffs knowledge, neither the developer nor the City of Hawthorne have prepared any subsequent analysis to verify that the current proposal for 750 units on Area A would provide equal bonding capacity. i) Hawthorne adopts Redevelopment Plan for Areas A and B (September 8) The developer and the City of Hawthorne are proposing to include the residential development of Area A into an existing Redevelopment Plan area in the City of Hawthorne. The Lawndale Annex is already located in the same redevelopment plan area (No. 2). By including the project in a redevelopment area, the project may take advantage of state laws that allow for bonds to be issued by the Redevelopment Agency based on the future property tax increase that would be generated by the new development. It is proposed that the proceeds of these bonds ($24 -39.5 million) would also be used for the construction of the Air Force facilities on Area B. Area B is also proposed to be included in the Hawthorne Redevelopment Plan area No. 2 even though Area B would remain in the City of El Segundo. A 012 STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) Page 13 Redevelopment Agency is required to spend a portion of the tax increment that it receives from new development in the plan area on public improvements. By including Area B in the Hawthorne Redevelopment Plan area, it potentially enables that requirement to be satisfied through the Agency's contribution toward the cost of some of the improvements on the Air Force Base itself. Due to the complexities of redevelopment law, it was not possible for Hawthorne to amend its redevelopment area to include Area A and /orArea B of the base into their redevelopment project area at the same time as all the other entitlements are considered. Additionally, given the expedited pace of processing the project to date, the details of the Redevelopment Plan have not been given significant focus to date. As a result, a draft of the Redevelopment Plan has just been issued but it is still under review by the parties and there will be additional documents generated to potentially implement the Redevelopment Plan. The Hawthorne Redevelopment Agency is not expected to consider the amendments until September 8, 2003, which is well after LAFCO will have acted on the reorganization. There are a number of critical components to the redevelopment actions that could pose challenges to the Cities and the project. Given the status of the Redevelopment Plan, it is not possible to provide an adequate analysis of all the issues at this time. Moreover, it is unknown whether there may be components of the Plan that may be unacceptable to El Segundo. Based upon the financing plan being proffered by the developer, if the amended redevelopment plan were not approved, or if the development of Area A and the Lawndale Annex were approved in such a way that sufficient revenues would not be generated from the residential projects to meet the financial requirements of the overall project, retention of the Air Force base could be compromised. The actions of the Hawthorne Redevelopment Agency are largely out of the control of El Segundo. The Hawthorne Redevelopment Agency would be the entity issuing the tax allocation bonds and Mello Roos bonds. They have bond experts working for them to evaluate the feasibility of issuing an amount currently estimated to be $24- 39.5 million in bonds. It is staff's understanding that the redevelopment plan would not be approved by the Hawthorne Redevelopment Agency without the commitment by the Agency to issue the necessary bonds. Consequently, if the Hawthorne Redevelopment Agency approves the redevelopment plan as now proposed, the majority of the public funding portion of the financing plan would be in place. As explained in Section iii below, the developer and Hawthorne are still attempting to address the financing of the affordable housing component of the Redevelopment Plan. This continues to be a significant hurdle to the Plan. As explained above, it is not possible to provide an adequate analysis of how the Plan may affect El Segundo. However, set forth below are some of the issues that OI",i STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 Page 14 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) have been identified by staff. The City Council previously authorized the City of Hawthorne to study the inclusion of Area A and B of the LAAFB into the Hawthorne redevelopment area. Since Area A and Area B of the LAAFB are currently in El Segundo, the City Council has to give its final approval to the inclusion of these areas in the Hawthorne redevelopment area. By doing so, El Segundo would be giving up land use control of the properties. If all goes according to plan, it would not be an issue because Area A would be annexed into the City of Hawthorne and Area B, as a federal government facility, is not currently subject to local land use control. However, there are a number of issues that will need to be discussed and analyzed. For example, staff will want to ensure that the Plan does not provide for any affordable housing component in Area A or Area B (in the event the Air Force Base facilities are not built). Additionally, staff will want the Plan to have an enforceable "sunset" provision in the plan should the project not proceed as planned or in the event that the Air Force stops utilizing Areas A and B in the future or, as an alternative the Redevelopment Plan must clearly provide that any potential tax revenues generated from Area B must belong to El Segundo. There may be additional issues that are presented in the future but, again, given the lack of information currently available, it is not possible to provide additional analysis regarding this issue. iii) Inclusionary Housing Requirement To complicate matters, redevelopment law also requires that when new housing is built in a redevelopment area, 15% of the units must be set aside for low- and moderate - income residents. Based on a total of 1,030 units on Area A and the Lawndale Annex, 154 affordable units would be required. These units are not proposed to be located on either Area A or the Lawndale Annex. They would be developed separately over time on some other location within the redevelopment plan area. Hawthorne is requiring that the project finance the cost for these additional units as well. KMA has estimated that a project in the City of Hawthorne providing that number of low- and moderate- income units would have costs exceeding the value of the LAAFB project of approximately $12.2 million plus the cost of acquiring the land for the project. iv) Hawthorne and SAMS Venture LLC resolve issues relatincl to development fees The City of Hawthorne has determined that there would be a negative financial impact on their City's General Fund to provide services to the project. Specifically, Hawthorne has requested that the project reimburse the City for its out -of- pocket costs for processing the entitlements ($762,850) and for future plan check review costs that would be generated by the project ($1,750,0000). Hawthorne has also suggested that $759,110 ($737.00 per unit) in general government costs would need to be paid for by the project. These cost would add an additional $3.3 million 014 STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 Page 15 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) costs to the total project cost. These fees are incorporated into the proposed development agreements between Hawthorne and the developer that would be acted upon by the Hawthorne City Council on July 16, 2003. The table below summarizes the current estimates of costs and funding sources forthe Proposed project as negotiated between the developer and the Air Force. The actual "Gap" is subject to other items and potential costs as discussed in this report. Source Revenue Cost Construction of Area B Inclusiona Housin Hawthorne General Fund Costs $ 115.0 million $ 12.2 million $ 3.3 Million Land Values Area A $58 million Lawndale Annex $20 million Sun Valle $ 2 million Lu_blic Fundin Requirement Tax Allocation/Special Tax Bonds $39.5 million Totals $ 119.5 million $ 130.5 million GAP $ 11 million V) The County enters into an agreement/adopts resolution whereby the County's tax revenues from Area A are transferred to Hawthorne Another key component of the financing of the facilities, is an agreement by the County to transfer the property tax it receives from the development Area A to Hawthorne which will in turn use it to finance the Air Force Base facilities. To date no such agreement has been reached and it is unknown whether the County will, and under what potential conditions, agree to such a transfer. If such funds were available, the ability of the project to support public financing would be enhanced. The amount of public financing required would not change. It is staffs understanding that the $24 -39.5 million bonding requirement is a conservative estimate that assumes that the County's portion of the property tax revenue would Lot be transferred to the project due to the uncertainties of if and when the County might commit to such transfer. Staff has been unable to determine how much additional potential bonding capacity could be generated from the tax increment if the County were to transfer its share of revenue. �J a) STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) vi) Bonds issued for the financing of the improvements on Area A Page 16 Any public financing for the project must be supported by revenues, its tax increment, or special taxes generated from within the "four corners" (Area A and Lawndale Annex only) of the project. It appears that the City of Hawthorne does not intend to provide additional financial support for public financing in any way and, in fact, will make no representations as to the sufficiency of funds that can be generated though public financing. Those items are elements of the risk assumed solely by the developer. As the project progresses, the developer is required to construct facilities for the Air Force from its own resources and will incur its own obligations to be repaid through the land sales of property to merchant builders or homeowners. Any public financing would be issued at such time as (1) the project (or portion thereof) is defined and can be appraised with its market absorption analyzed — for Mello Roos bond financing, or (2) a portion of the project has been completed and is then generating increased property taxes representing tax increment — for tax allocation bond financing. The developer must provide its own interim financing to bridge any time difference between the date that expenses are incurred and the date the public financing for the expenses can be issued. For eithertype of financing, the amount of financing is limited by the level of revenues available for repayment of debts, and is further limited by the application of a coverage factor — a margin for bond holders safety — generally estimated to be 1.2 times debt service. The financial plan is in a relatively early state, particularly with the reduction in the number of residential units. The ultimate determination of the sufficiency of public financing is in the hands of the developer. This is emphasized by the fact that the general outline of the financial terms proposed by the City of Hawthorne places all the financial risk related to the availability of sufficiency of public financing on the developer. KMA has not completed a financial review of the prospect of public financing based on the lower number of residential units now proposed. For these reasons, it is not possible for any financial consultants to provide a firm opinion on the sufficiency of public financing. The only definitive statements possible are that the assumptions used to date appear to be reasonable. The broad outline of the financial plan (such as it exists) appears to be consistent with the state of California redevelopment practice and land use financing practice and the developer continues to act on the belief that public financing will be available in sufficient amounts when needed. f) No protest of LAFCO actions or I AFCO reconsideration hearing The compressed timetable of the project dictated by the Air Force is dependant on successfully completing the LAFCO reorganization process with no protest hearings or reconsideration hearings being required. Staff and the Air Force have worked hard to successfully gain the consent of all three property owners in the Annexation Area (Air Force, Caltrans, and Union Pacific) to waive the public hearing and the right to a protest 0 16 STAFF REPORT: July 15, 2003 Page 17 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) hearing on the reorganization action Waiver of the public hearing also requires the consent of LAFCO. On June 25, 2003, LAFCO agreed to waive the 21 -day notice period for the public hearing, as allowed by law, instead of the public hearing itself. This means that the hearing could be held on July 23 instead of August 13. However, the LAFCO process includes periods for protests and for LAFCO to review requests for reconsideration of the LAFCO action. g) Developer signs unconditional contract (November 17) The final act in the process, which is outside the control of the City and which will not happen before all of the entitlements are in place, is the execution of an unconditional contract between the developer and the Air Force whereby the developer commits to build the $115 million facility on Area B of the LAAFB. Currently, the developer is negotiating with the Air Force on the terms of the contract, but there is no guarantee at this point that there would not be some issues that could remain that would prevent the signing of the contract by either party even if all of the above described actions fall in to place as planned. If the contract between the Air Force and the developer were not signed on November 17, 2003, as expected, the City could be faced with having agreed to a reorganization and inclusion of Area A and B in the Hawthorne redevelopment area with no resulting project. Again, staff will attempt to minimize this potential result through the negotiation of the redevelopment documents. h) SAMS Venture LLC constructs I AAFB Facilities If all of the previously described actions take place according to plan, culminating in the execution of a contract between the developer and the Air Force, the developer would begin construction of the new SAMS facilities on Area B by the end of this year. Based on everything staff understands about the BRAC process, if the Air Force has begun construction on new facilities on Area B to replace the existing seismically deficient buildings on Area A, the likelihood that the base would be subject to closure in the next BRAC process would be reduced but not eliminated.

BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of El Segundo that having received, reviewed, and considered the following information as well as all other information in the record of proceedings on this matter, the City Council of the City of El Segundo hereby finds, determines, and declares as follows: PROJECT DESCRIPTION. A. Project Location. The Los Angeles Air Force Base ( "LAAFB ") consists of seven separate areas that are located within industrial, commercial and residential portions of the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. These seven areas include two within the City of El Segundo (the "City "). The USAF property located at the southeast corner of Aviation Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard in the City is referred to as "Area A ". The USAF property located at the northwest corner of Aviation Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard in the City is referred to as "Area B ". The USAF property located on Aviation Boulevard north of Marine Avenue in the City of Hawthorne ( "Hawthorne ") is referred to as the "Lawndale Annex ", and a USAF property within the Sun Valley Community of the City of Los Angeles referred to as the "Sun Valley property ". Three other USAF properties within the San Pedro community of the City of Los Angeles (Fort MacArthur Middle Reservation, Pacific Crest Housing Area and Pacific Heights Housing Area comprise the remainder of the LAAFB. B. Project History and CEQA Process. 1. Pursuant to the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106 -398) as amended by Section 2841 of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003, the United States Air Force ( "USAF') has partnered with SAMS Venture, LLC (the "Developer ") to build new USAF facilities on Area B in exchange for the USAF conveying Area A, the Lawndale Annex and the Sun Valley property to the Developer (the 'Proposed Action" or 'Project'). The three San Pedro sites are not included in the proposed land exchange between the USAF and the Developer. The new development on Area B will house the Space and Missile Systems ( "SAMS ") Center. n v��7 2. The Proposed Action generally includes the following: (1) conveyance of Area A, the Lawndale Annex, the Sun Valley property to the Developer; (2) construction of new seismically -safe, state -of- the -art SAMS facilities for the USAF on Area B; (3) relocation of existing USAF functions into the new facilities on Area B; and (4) private development of Area A and the Lawndale Annex by the Developer, which could include the following activities: (a) detachment of Area A from the City and annexation of Area A into Hawthorne; and (b) granting of land use entitlements, permits and other discretionary actions by Hawthorne to permit the private development of the conveyed land. 3. Originally, detachment of Area A from the City and annexation of Area A into Hawthorne was not included in the Project; the Developer and the USAF contemplated the development of commercial retail uses on Area A and submitted applications to the City for approval of commercial development of Area A. The City assumed the role of Lead Agency under California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") and, in July, 2002, the City initiated CEQA review for approvals and entitlements, which would allow commercial development of Area A. The City prepared and circulated a Draft Environmental Impact Report (the "2002 Draft EIR ") for agency and public comment between September 30, 2002 and November 13, 2002. In addition, the City Planning Commission held a public hearing on the 2002 Draft EIR on November 14, 2002, at which public input and comments were taken regarding the 2002 Draft EIR. 4. The City received comments pertaining to the 2002 Draft EIR, which suggested that the nature of the commercial Project on Area A be changed. Many of the comments suggested that a joint Environmental Impacts Statement / Environmental Impact Report be prepared for the Project and that the Project description should be revised to reflect residential development of Area A, rather than its commercial development. As a result of the comments received on the 2002 Draft EIR and from input during community meetings, the City and the Developer undertook additional consultation and coordination with the USAF and Hawthorne, as well as with homeowner organizations and residents located in the areas adjacent to Area A. This process resulted in a new residential Project proposed to be studied on Area A. 5. The City, as a policy, does not desire residential development on Area A within its City boundaries, therefore additional consultation was undertaken with the Hawthorne and the Local Agency Formation Commission ( "LAFCO ") to consider initiating a reorganization of territory in which Area A would be detached from the City and annexed into Hawthorne. On January 13, 2003, the Hawthorne City Council of the City adopted Resolution No. 6771, advising LAFCO that the City was considering initiating annexation Reorganization proceedings for the Area j tJ '�i -2- A. On January 21, 2003, the City Council adopted a resolution advising LAFCO that El Segundo was considering initiating detachment of Area A. 6. The City Community, Economic and Development Services determined that a new Environmental Impact Report ( "EIR ") be prepared to determine the individual and cumulative environmental impacts associated with the Project as revised to anticipate residential development of Area A. The Project description involved up to 850 residential units proposed for development on Area A and up to 300 residential units on the Lawndale Annex. 7. Because the City began as Lead Agency for the Project and because the City will be the first public agency to act on the Project, the City remained Lead Agency for the Project. Hawthorne was identified as a Responsible Agency under CEQA because the Project involves subsequent approvals within Hawthorne's jurisdiction. 8. The Project will also involve federal action by the USAF. The Project is therefore also subject to the National Environmental Protection Act ( "NEPA "). For those components of the Project requiring action, the USAF is lead agency under NEPA. For purposes of NEPA, it was determined that an Environmental Impact Statement ( "EIS ") be prepared jointly with an EIR. 9. The City Community, Economic and Development Services prepared an Initial Study (the "Initial Study "). Based on the Initial Study the City Community, Economic and Development Services and the USAF consulted with Hawthorne officials and staff and determined to prepare a joint EIS /EIR as provided in CEQA and NEPA. 10. The objectives of the Project are as follows a) To relocate the LAAFB facilities currently on Area A, including the SAMS facility from facilities in severe disrepair which do not meet current building codes for fire and earthquake safety to a new state -of- the -art facility which will generate approximately $3.5 million in annual operations and maintenance savings for the USAF on Area B; b) To achieve the goals of recently- enacted special federal legislation allowing the USAF to fund its relocation by conveying land for the development of new facilities for the USAF on Area B; c) To provide development on Area A and the Lawndale Annex at a density sufficient to assist in addressing the approximate $65 million gap between the value of the USAF's conveyed land and the cost of constructing new facilities for the USAF on Area B. 11. The Project requires the following discretionary actions by the City: �i ,_' u Sc3 a) Resolution No. _, requesting the LAFCO to detach Area A from the City for annexation of Area A into Hawthorne. b) Ordinance No. , granting the Hawthorne Community Redevelopment Agency the authority to include Area A within Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2; c) Resolution No. _, approving a Reorganization Agreement among the City, Hawthorne, and the Developer regarding LAFCO and annexation of Area A into Hawthorne. 12.A Notice of Preparation ( "NOP ") of the Draft EIS /EIR was prepared and circulated for a 30 -day public review period beginning on January 2, 2003. Based on public comments in response to the NOP and a review of environmental issues by the El Segundo Department of Community, Economic and Development Services, the Draft EIS /EIR analyzed the following environmental impact areas: a) Population, Housing and Employment b) Land Use c) Aesthetics d) Shade /Shadow e) Transportation f) Public Utilities g) Public Services h) Hazardous Materials And Hazardous Waste Management i) Soils and Geology j) Water Resources k) Air Quality 1) Noise m) Cultural Resources 13. The City Community, Economic and Development Services held a duly noticed Scoping Meeting on January 30, 2003 to receive public input and comments regarding the scope of the environmental impacts that should be studied regarding the Project. 14.The Draft EIS /EIR was prepared by Christopher A. Joseph & Associates under contract to the City and under the supervision of the City 021 -4- Community, Economic and Development Services, and circulated for review from April 11, 2003 to May 27, 2003. 15.The City received approximately 25 comments on the Draft EIS /EIR from public agencies, groups and individuals. 16.The Hawthorne Planning Commission and the USAF held a duly noticed joint public hearing to receive public comment regarding the Draft EIS /EIR on May 7, 2003. 17.The City Planning Commission held a duly noticed joint public hearing to receive public comment regarding the Draft EIS /EIR on May 22, 2003, and adopted Resolution No. 2450 recommending approval of the project. 18. Responses to comments were prepared and included in the Final EIS /EIR. 19.As a result of public input on the Project, the Project description was revised to lower the residential density and the maximum height of buildings along the southern property line of Area A. The maximum density of Area A was reduced from 850 residential units to 750 residential units. The maximum density of the Lawndale Annex was reduced from 300 residential units to 280 residential units. The maximum height of the structures along the southern property line of Area A was reduced from 50 feet to 40 feet. 20.A Final EIS /EIR has been prepared, which includes the NOP, NOP Comments, the Draft EIS /EIR, comments regarding the Draft EIS /EIR and written responses to such comments, a summary of changes to the Draft EIS /EIR, and all technical appendices (the "Final EIS /EIR "). 21. The City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on July 15, 2003 to consider the adequacy of the Final EIS /EIR, certify the Final EIS /EIR, and adopt findings (attached hereto as Exhibit "A "), including a Statement of Overriding Considerations. II. INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT. A. The City, acting as lead agency, has reviewed and edited as necessary the Draft EIS /EIR and the Final EIS /EIR to reflect its own independent judgment to the extent of its ability, including reliance on concerned City technical personnel from other departments as well as professional consultants retained by the City in order to provide technical advice an assistance in evaluating environmental impacts associated with the Project. B. Pursuant to Public Resources Code 21082.1(c)(3) the City hereby finds that the Final EIS /EIR reflects the independent judgment of the lead agency. III. CERTIFICATION. 5 022 A. The City has reviewed the Final EIS /EIR for the Project and has considered the public record on the Project, including without limitation the following: 1. Staff reports prepared by the Community, Economic and Development Services and the Draft and Final EIS /EIR prepared by Christopher A. Joseph & Associates for the City; 2. Staff presentations at public hearings; 3. All applicable regulations and codes; 4. Public comments, both written and oral, received and /or submitted at or prior to the public hearings, supporting or opposing the applicant's request; 5. Testimony and /or comments from the applicant and its representatives submitted to the City in both written and oral form at or prior to the public hearings; 6. All related documents received and /or submitted at or prior to the public hearings. B. The custodian of the documents and other materials which constitute the record upon which these findings are based is the City Community, Economic and Development Services. The record is available for public review at the City Community, Economic and Development Services, 350 Main Street, El Segundo, California 90245. C. The City Council hereby certifies that Final EIS /EIR SCH No. 2002071106, dated July 2003 for the Project described below is adequate and has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Resolution; will enter the same in the book of original Resolutions of the City of El Segundo, and will make a minute of the passage and adoption thereof in the record of proceedings of the City Council of the City of El Segundo, in the minutes of the meeting at which the same is passed and adopted.

FINDINGS REQUIRED BY CEQA. Section 21081 of the California Public Resources Code and Section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines require a public agency, prior to approving a project, to identify significant impacts of the project and make one or more of three allowable findings on the basis of substantial evidence in the record for each of the significant impacts: A. The first allowable finding is that "changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR" (CEQA Guidelines § 15091(a)(1)). B. The second allowable finding is that "such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency" (CEQA Guidelines § 15091(a)(2)). C. The third allowable finding is that "specific economic, social, or other considerations make unfeasible the mitigation measures or Project alternatives identified in the Final El R" (CEQA Guidelines § 15091(a)(3)). A. Potential Impacts Found to be Insignificant by the Initial Study. The environmental effects listed below were identified as not potentially significant based upon the Initial Study. The City Council finds that the Initial Study, the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings in this matter do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to the areas listed below. 1. Natural Resources (Endangered Species, Wetlands, or Habitat). 2. Agricultural Resources. 3. Coastal Resources. 1 Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms in this Exhibit A have the same meaning as identical terms in the body of the Resolution. 1 02:- 4. Archeological Resources. 5. Paleontological Resources. B. Impacts Identified as Potentially Significant in the Initial Study But Which Did Not Exceed Significance Thresholds in the DEIS /EIR. The City Council finds that although the following environmental effects were identified as potentially significant based upon the Initial Study, the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings in this matter do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to the areas listed below. 1. Population, Housing and Employment. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Construction of the Proposed Action would result in increased employment opportunities in the construction field, which would not result in significant demand for housing or population growth. (2) Existing Area personnel would be relocated to Area B upon completion of the new SAMS facilities in Area B, with no net change in employment. No new housing would be required to accommodate existing employees. (3) The Proposed Action involves the development of new housing stock and the improvement of the LAAFB facilities that would not create new employment opportunities. Consequently, the Project would not involve new land uses that would change the amount of existing employment. (4) Employment at the Sun Valley Property would not increase; buildings could be reoccupied at previous land use and density. (5) The additional residential units on Area A and the Lawndale Annex would slightly exceed Southern California Association of Governments ( "SCAG ") forecasts for the Hawthorne and Region of Influence, but would be consistent with SCAG's population Projections for the South Bay Cities Subregion. (6) Population and housing growth on the Lawndale Annex and Area A together would be consistent with population and housing Projections for the Subregion. b) : No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance. 2 0 2(")' c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to population, housing and employment. 2. Land Use. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Development on Area A and the Lawndale Annex would be compatible with the surrounding land uses. (2) Development on Area A and the Lawndale Annex would be consistent with the Hawthorne General Plan as amended, the Redevelopment Plan as amended, the Hawthorne Zoning Code as amended, and the SCAG's Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide. (3) Area B would remain under federal jurisdiction as part of LAAFB. Area B would not be subject to the provisions of the El Segundo General Plan or the City's Zoning Code. However, these types of uses currently exist on LAAFB Area B and are not in conflict with the surrounding land uses. (4) No impacts to land use compatibility or consistency with adopted plans or policies at the Sun Valley Property would occu r. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to land use. 3. Aesthetics. a) Facts (1) Short-term impacts would involve the demolition, grading, and construction activities at Areas A and B and the Lawndale Annex. The construction period would create temporary visual conditions typically associated with construction operations. (2) No significant public views or viewsheds are associated with Area A that could be affected by development under the Proposed Action. 3 0 2'7 (3) Loss of potential views of arriving aircraft at LAX from approximately three to five residences that currently have views between Building 115 and the Ramada Inn would be less than significant due to the small number of residences involved. (4) Views within and through Area B after development of the Project would be similar to the existing views. (5) No significant public views or viewsheds are associated with the Lawndale Annex that would be affected by development under the Proposed Action. (6) No change to the Sun Valley Property would occur under the Proposed Action. (7) With the use of non -glare glass, the new SAMS buildings in Area B will not be a source of glare from reflected sunlight. (8) New sources of lighting could be introduced on Areas A and B and the Lawndale Annex as a result of the Proposed Action, but the impact would not be significant due to the ambient night lighting that already exists. (9) As described in Section II.D of this Exhibit A, visual impacts along the southern property of Area A will change significantly after development of the Project. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts associated with Area B, the Lawndale Annex and the Sun Valley Property below a level of significance. c) Finding: With the exception of visual impacts along the southerly boundary of Area A, which will change significantly and unavoidable as described in Section II.D of this Exhibit A, the City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to aesthetics. 4. Shade /Shadow. a) Facts /Effects. (1) In Area A the winter shadows cast by the Proposed Action would remain within the boundaries of the Project site or would not extend beyond the adjacent roadway to affect sensitive uses off -site. (2) In Area A neither the winter nor the summer shadows that could be cast by the Project buildings would extend 4 028 beyond the boundaries of the property to affect any off -site shadow sensitive uses. (3) In Area B the proposed development will have a maximum height limit of 45 feet, which would cast a maximum shadow length of 136 feet. The nearest off -site shadow - sensitive use is approximately 300 feet away. (4) In the Lawndale Annex neither the winter nor the summer shadows that could be cast by the Project buildings would extend beyond the property affect any off -site shadow sensitive uses. (5) In the Sun Valley Property, no demolition or construction would occur and so no shade or shadow impacts would occur. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to shade and shadow. 5. Transportation. a) Facts /Effects. (1) The DEIS /EIR studied Project - related impacts on 37 intersections and four freeway segments using Intersection Capacity Utilization values and corresponding Level of Service ( "LOS ") analyses. (2) The Proposed Action would not exceed the significance thresholds of either the City or Hawthorne for the intersections or freeway segments analyzed, other than at Aviation Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard. (3) As described in Section II.D of this Exhibit A, significant unavoidable impacts to the intersection of Aviation Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard are expected to occur. b) Mitigation: Except for a significant unavoidable impact to Aviation Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard, which is discussed in Section II.D of this Exhibit A, no mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance. c) Finding: The City Council finds that, except for an unavoidable impact to Aviation Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard, the 5 029 FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to transportation. 6. Public Utilities -- Sewer. a) Facts /Effects. (1) An estimated 165,750 gpd of wastewater would be generated at Area A, 112,000 gpd of wastewater would be generated by Area B and estimated 58,500 gpd of wastewater would be generated by the Lawndale Annex, compared to existing generation of 177,690 gpd. The net total of Area A, Area B, and the Lawndale Annex would increase the flow to the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant ( "JWPCP ") by 0.04 percent with a net increase of 158,560 gpd. JWPCP has sufficient treatment capacity to accommodate the sewage flow, and there is sufficient remaining capacity in the trunk sewers. (2) The Sun Valley Property would generate approximately 1,490 gpd upon reoccupation. The sewage would represent an increase of 0.0004 in the daily flow to the Hyperion Treatment Plant. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to sewers. 7. Public Utilities -- Water. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Water consumption on Area A would decrease by 1,500 gpd, and would increase by 134,016 gpd on Area B and 63,000 gpd on the Lawndale Annex. (2) According to the Southern California Water Company, sufficient supply is available to meet the water demand on Area A, Area B, and the Lawndale Annex.

Police Protection. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Development plans for Area A and the Lawndale Annex will be subject to mandatory review by the Hawthorne Police Department ( "HPD ") to assure that design features reduce the opportunity for crime and provide adequate emergency access. 8 032 (2) Although the population increase caused by the Project would increase demand for police services and equipment, the Project will not result in the need for substantial amounts of new equipment or substantially diminish the status of adequacy within the HPD. (3) On Area B, the military police would handle all on -site incidents on Area B, unless a police report is filed or if backup service is requested from the El Segundo Police Department. Military police would adjust their staffing and equipment as necessary. (4) Although the HPD initially indicated that the Project could result in the need for three or four additional police officers, the HPD subsequently indicated that there is no presently anticipated need for additional personnel. (5) The Sun Valley Property could be reoccupied at the same intensity of use and so would not create an increased demand for police services. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to police services. 12. Fire Protection. a) Facts /Effects.

(2) The Project will be designed to provide all necessary fire - flows, provide adequate emergency vehicle access, and comply with all applicable fire prevention codes and requirements. (3) Area B is served by the City of El Segundo Fire Department ( "ESFD "). There would be a net decrease in building area served by the ESFD. (4) The Sun Valley Property could be reoccupied at the same intensity of use and so would not create an increased demand for fire protection services. 9 033 (5) Compliance with fire codes and LACFD approval of emergency access are incorporated as part of the Project. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance. C) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to fire protection and services. 13. Schools. a) Facts /Effects. (1)The Proposed Action is elementary school students, and 103 high school students. projected to generate 241 108 middle school students, (2) The development of the Proposed Action for Area B would have no impact on schools. (3) The Wiseburn Elementary School District would receive a total of 349 elementary and middle school students. The district currently serves 1,700 students, of whom 30 percent come from outside of the district. The District could accommodate the projected increase in enrollment through developer fees, reopening of closed facilities and /or modifications in transfer policy. (4) The Centinela Valley Union High School District would receive a total of 103 high school students. Through developer fees and other means of funding, the district expects to be able to accommodate the increase in students. (5) The Sun Valley Property could be reoccupied at the same intensity of use and so would not create an increased demand on the school system. (6) State law requires that the Developer pay statutory developer fees to Wiseburn Elementary School District or otherwise enter into an agreement with the district. (7) State law requires that the Developer pay statutory developer fees to Centinela Valley Union High School District or otherwise enter into an agreement with the district. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance. 10 03 Ill C) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to school impacts. 14. Hazardous Materials & Waste. a) Facts /Effects. (1) The current six aboveground storage tanks ( "ASTs ") at Area A will be removed, subject to applicable federal, state and local regulations, under the Proposed Action, thus minimizing the potential for environmental consequences. Nine underground storage tanks ( "USTs ") have been removed with no further action required. (2) Three USTs and three ASTs on Area B may remain in place. New storage tanks may also be put in place. All storage tanks are subject to applicable federal, state and local regulations. (3) No storage tanks are located on the Lawndale Annex or the Sun Valley Property (4) Small arms ammunition are not stored at Area A, the Lawndale Annex, or the Sun Valley Property; nor would they be stored at these sites under the Proposed Action. (5) An armory is located in the Security Forces Operations portion of Building 241. According to site personnel, the armory is the only area where munitions are stored at Area B. Real Property Accountable Records indicate that former Building 221 was at one time used to store explosives. A bunker located east of Building 221 was used to calibrate aircraft gun sights (via test firing) during US Navy occupation of the site. After diligent research, no documentation was found regarding the closure or decommissioning of the structure. (6) Radon is not present in appreciable concentrations at LAAFB. (7) There is no presence of or generation of medical and biohazardous waste on Area A, the Lawndale Annex or the Sun Valley Property. The Medical /Dental Clinic located in Building 200 in Area B disposes of the waste through a licensed medical waste contractor using an approved method. 11 _ 035 (8) Existing structures may include building materials containing Asbestos Containing Materials ( "ACM"). The ACM materials will be managed and dealt with under the Base's Asbestos Management Plan and South Coast Air Quality Management District ( "SCAQMD ") regulations prior to demolition or renovation. (9) Existing structures may include building materials containing lead -based paint. Any limited lead -based paint encountered during construction activities will be dealt with under the base's Lead -Based Paint Management Plan and applicable CalOSHA and DTSC (California Department of Toxic Substance Control) regulations. (10) All PCB - contaminated electrical equipment whose dielectric fluid contains greater than 50 ppm PCBs have been removed or replaced with non -PCB containing equipment. (11) On the basis of community notifications made under Proposition 65, possible emissions of an air toxic, Hexavalent Chromium [Cr(VI)], may migrate from their source at the adjacent Northrop Grumman plant to the Child Development Center ( "CDC "), a sensitive receptor on Area B. A review of health risk assessment data shows that projected levels of Cr(VI) are considered acceptable based on the guidelines of the U.S. EPA, California EPA, and SCAQMD. Because projected emissions were based on very conservative assumptions, it can be concluded that potential Cr(VI) exposures at the CDC are not a health concern. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to hazardous materials. 15. Air Quality— Construction. a) Facts /Effects. (1)Construction activities that generate pollutants include demolition, grading, construction vehicular emissions, fuel consumption, and architectural coating. (2) No construction activity is proposed for the Sun Valley Property. 12 0 33 (3) Construction emissions of Carbon Monoxide ('W") and Particulate Matter ( "PM10,,) would not exceed the thresholds during any year of construction. (4) As discussed in Sections II.D and II.F of this Exhibit A, construction emissions would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for Nitrogen Oxides ( "NOx ") in 2004 and 2006, and would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for Reactive Organic Gases ( "ROG ") emissions in 2005 and 2007. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce CO and PM10 impacts below a level of significance. C) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to construction emissions of CO and PM10. 16.Air Quality— Operational. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Long -term Project - related emissions would be generated by both stationary sources and mobile sources such as motor vehicles. (2) Motor vehicles are the predominate source of operational emissions and air quality impacts. (3) Operational emissions of PM10 would not exceed significance thresholds. (4) As discussed in Section II.D and II.F. of this Exhibit A, operational emissions of NOx, CO, and ROG would result in significant and unavoidable project and cumulative impacts to air quality. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce PM10 impacts below a level of significance. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to operational emissions of PM10. 13 037 17. Noise -- Operational. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Area A and the Lawndale Annex are located in high ambient noise areas. (2) Traffic noise impacts contributing to the ambient noise in the existing environment would be inaudible and below thresholds of significance. (3) There is a potential that parking - related noise, such as car alarms, door closing, and the starting of car engines, would be audible at nearby residential uses. However, these sources would be no different than are currently associated with the surface parking lots located within Area A and the Lawndale Annex, along with noise associated with activity on the recreational field at the Lawndale Annex. (4) With the construction of a sound wall, the Lawndale Annex will not be impacted by noise from the Metro Rail Green Line. (5) A 6 -8 foot high wall is proposed along the southerly boundary of Area A. The southerly boundary adjoins a railroad right -of -way. There will be an increase of 0.5 dB in the CNEL due to train noise reflecting off of the wall. An increase of less than 1dB in CNEL is not noticeable. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to operational noise impacts. 18. Noise -- Construction. a) Facts /Effects. (1) No construction activity is proposed at the Sun Valley Property. (2) As discussed in Section II.D of this Exhibit A, noise construction impacts on Area A, Area B and the Lawndale Annex will be significant and unavoidable. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts on the Sun Valley Property below a level of significance. 14 038 c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to noise construction impacts on the Sun Valley Property. C. The City Council finds that although the following environmental effects were identified as potentially significant in the FEIS /EIR, changes or alterations within the responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies and not the City have been adopted by such other agencies or can and should be adopted by such other agency to avoid or lessen the potential significant environmental effects listed below to a level of insignificance. 1. Soils and Geology. a) Facts /Effects. (1) The potential for surface fault rupture at the four Project sites is low. Additionally, no actions or changes would occur at the Sun Valley Property. (2) The four sites are not identified as being located within areas at risk for landslides or as having the potential for seismic slope instability. However, all four sites are located within the Southern California region that is known for seismic activity and groundshaking. (3) Liquefaction will not be a significant impact at the Project sites. Therefore, the Proposed Action would not result in or expose people to significant impacts related to seismic settlement and differential compaction. (4) There are no significant impacts related to flooding at Areas A & B. (5) The Lawndale Annex is located within a 500 -year floodplain. However, flooding impacts would be less than significant. (6) The Sun Valley Property is not located in a 100 -year floodplain but it is located in an area with minimal to moderate flooding. However, no physical changes to the site are anticipated or planned under the Proposed Action that would result expose people to any significant impacts related to flooding. 15 039 (7) Elevated levels of methane gas have been observed at Area B of LAAFB, in the vicinity of the Fitness Center. Since significant levels of methane have been detected in Area B and since a portion of Area A is within an oil field and there are documented producing wells nearby, there is a potential for significant levels of methane to be present at Area A and Area B. No information regarding methane gas is available for the Lawndale Annex or the Sun Valley Property. (8) Expansive or corrosive soils could have a significant impact on the Proposed Action at Area A, Area B, and the Lawndale Annex. (9) Grading is not anticipated to have a significant impact at Area A, Area B, and the Lawndale Annex under the Proposed Action. No grading would occur at the Sun Valley Property. (10) The stability of the proposed slopes will be analyzed during the comprehensive geotechnical investigation for the Proposed Action as required by the City of Hawthorne and the Air Force to ensure that the Proposed Action does not result in any significant slope stability impacts at Area A, Area B, or the Lawndale Annex. (11) The potential for erosion or for the volume of runoff to increase at these sites as a result of the Proposed Action is not considered significant. b) Mitigation: (1) A comprehensive geotechnical report shall be prepared for Area A, Area B, and the Lawndale Annex. Specific design recommendations presented in the comprehensive geotechnical report for all Project sites shall be incorporated into the final design and construction of the Proposed Action. The comprehensive geotechnical report shall include, but not necessarily be limited to the following geotechnical hazards: ground shaking, slope stability, and expansive /corrosive soils. (2) On -site grading shall be performed in accordance with applicable codes so that erosion of graded areas will not occur. All areas of construction shall be fine - graded to drain in conformance with Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan requirements and direct permissible runoff to the street or to the nearest available storm drain. No runoff within the Property boundaries shall be allowed to flow uncontrolled 16 040 over any existing slopes. All permanent slopes shall be Planted in conformance with current grading codes. (3) Although liquefaction is not considered to be a significant impact at the Project sites, the comprehensive geotechnical investigation shall use site - specific soil and groundwater data to specifically evaluate the potential for liquefaction at each site. If there is a medium to high potential, specific recommendations shall be included in the geotechnical report to minimize the potential for damage from liquefaction. (4) The recommendations presented in the comprehensive geotechnical investigation report for design of walls below grade to support the lateral earth pressure and the additional surcharges from adjacent buildings and traffic shall be followed. (5) A site specific methane gas study shall be performed at Area A, Area B, and the Lawndale Annex to characterize the levels of methane and other volatile gases that may be present at these locations and to evaluate the level of impact that hazardous gases might have on the Project. An approved methane gas consultant shall be retained for the site - specific methane gas study. The methane consultant would be approved by the local government entity with jurisdiction over the specific Project site. If levels of methane are detected at the site, a permanent methane gas control system may be necessary beneath the proposed buildings. The potential for methane gas to have a significant impact at the site can be reduced to a less than significant level by installation of a permanent gas control system at the site, if necessary. An approved methane specialist, as described above, shall be retained for the design of a methane gas control system. c) Finding: The City Council finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Hawthorne for Area A and the Lawndale Annex and the USAF for Area B, and not the City. Such changes have been adopted by Hawthorne and the -USAF or can and should be adopted by Hawthorne and the USAF and incorporated into the Project to avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect on soils and geology. 17 041 2. Water Resources. a) Facts /Effects. (1) The proposed storm drain system for Area A would connect to existing storm drains. The parking lot detention system for the Proposed Action at Area A will be designed to store a minimum of 350 cubic feet of detained runoff. The drainage system would be designed to the Hawthorne and Los Angeles County Department of Public Works standards, and all storm drains would be designed for a 25 -year frequency storm event. The Proposed Action at Area A would not result in any significant hydrology impacts. Provided the mitigation measures listed below are implemented, the Proposed Action at Area A would not result in significant hydrology impacts. (2) Although impervious surfaces on Area B are expected to decrease as a result of increased open space, there may be a need for on -site detention of storm water. (3) The Lawndale Annex will be developed as residential with a required imperviousness of 0.9 per County standards. Runoff of 38 cfs will result, which will exceed the allowable 13 cfs. As such, a detention of 13,330 cubic feet must be provided on -site. This level of detention and runoff can be accommodated at parking lots at the site. (4) No new development would occur at the Sun Valley Property under the Proposed Action. Therefore, no significant surface hydrology, flooding or groundwater impacts would be created by the Proposed Action. (5) The Proposed Action at Area A, Area B and Lawndale Annex does not involve deep excavations that have the potential to intercept existing aquifers, nor would it involve direct additions or withdrawals of groundwater. Therefore, impacts to groundwater are anticipated to be less than significant. (6) Area A, Area B and the Lawndale Annex are not located within a 100 -year floodplain. There are no significant impacts related to flooding and the Proposed Action would not result in or expose people to significant impacts related to flooding. (7) Since the Proposed Action involves clearing, grading, and excavation of one or more acres, a General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit must be obtained prior to the start of construction. A Storm Water Pollution 18 041'- Prevention Plan ( "SWPPP ") must be prepared that identifies which structural and nonstructural Best Management Practices ( "BMPs ") will be implemented, such as sandbag barriers, temporary desilting basins near inlets, gravel driveways, dust controls, employee training, and general good housekeeping practices. With the implementation of the BMPs, short-term water quality impacts would be less than significant. (8) The Proposed Action will provide structural or treatment control BMPs designed to mitigate storm water runoff. While some infiltration through landscape areas will occur, the Proposed Action will primarily rely on the implementation of Treatment Control BMPs. As required by the Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan ( "SUSMP "), detailed plans for the Project's compliance with the SUSMP will be submitted to the City of Hawthorne as part of the development plan approval process prior to issuance of building and grading permits. With compliance with the SUSMP requirements, the Proposed Action's operational impacts on storm water quality will be less than significant. b) Mitigation. (1) The Developer shall prepare a master drainage plan for Area A, Area B and the Lawndale Annex. This plan shall include detailed hydrology /hydraulic calculations and drainage improvements, showing quantitatively how the Project will eliminate potential for downstream flooding due to increased storm water runoff. These plans will also identify the proposed Best Management Practices to be implemented in compliance with the requirements of the Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan and applicable codes. Such plans shall be reviewed and approved by the Hawthorne and the LACDPW. (2) The Developer shall design a conveyance and detainment system to meet the LACDPW limits on the storm drains that would convey the discharge from Area A, Area B and the Lawndale Annex. (3) The Project applicant/developer shall file a Notice of Intent ( "NOI") for the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( "NPDES ") General Permit for Construction Activities with the California State Water Resources Board. Compliance with the NPDES general permit shall be certified by the Regional Water Quality Control Board prior to the issuance of grading and building permits. 19 043 (4) During construction and operations, all waste shall be disposed of in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Properly labeled recycling bins shall be utilized for recyclable construction materials including solvents, water -based paints, vehicle fluids, broken asphalt and concrete, wood, and vegetation. Non - recyclable materials and wastes must be taken to an appropriate landfill. Toxic wastes must be discarded at a licensed, regulated disposal site by a licensed waste - hauler. (5) All leaks, drips and spills occurring during construction shall be cleaned up promptly and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations to prevent contaminated soil on paved surfaces that can be washed away into the storm drains. (6) If materials spills occur, they should not be hosed down. Dry cleaning methods shall be employed whenever possible. (7) Construction dumpsters shall be covered with tarps or plastic sheeting if left uncovered for extended periods. All dumpsters shall be well maintained. (8) The Developer shall conduct inspections of the Project site before and after storm events to determine whether BMPs to reduce pollutant loadings identified in the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan are adequate and properly implemented. (9) The Developer shall conduct daily street sweeping and truck wheel cleaning to prevent dirt in storm water. (10) The Developer or its successor -in- interest shall provide regular sweeping of private streets and parking lots within the Project site with equipment designed for removal of hydrocarbon compounds. (11) The Developer or its successor -in- interest shall maintain all structural or treatment control Best Management Practices for the life of the Project. c) Finding: The City Council finds- that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Hawthorne for Area A and the Lawndale Annex and the USAF for Area B, and not the City. Such changes have been adopted by Hawthorne and the USAF or can and should be adopted by Hawthorne and the USAF and incorporated into the Project to avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect on water resources. 20 G4 f# 3. Cultural Resources. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Grading and excavation activities could potentially, although unlikely, encounter archaeological resources. (2) Native American resources such as sacred sites or traditional use locations associated with the Gabrielino- Tongva are not expected to occur. There is a low probability that subsurface deposits or burial sites may exist which could be encountered during grading or excavation operations. (3) No adverse impacts to historic resources would result from the implementation of the Proposed Action. b) Mitigation: (1) In the event that archaeological or traditional resources are encountered during the course of grading or construction, all activities must temporarily cease in these areas until the resources are properly assessed and subsequent recommendations are determined by a qualified consultant. (2) In the event that human remains are discovered, there shall be no disposition of such human remains, other than in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in 36 CFR Part 800.13, California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. These code provisions require notification of the County Coroner and the Native American Heritage Commission, who in turn must notify those persons believed to be most likely descended from the deceased Native American for appropriate disposition of the remains. Excavation or disturbance may continue in other areas of the Project site that are not reasonably suspected to overlie adjacent remains or cultural resources. c) Finding: The City Council finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Hawthorne for Area A and the Lawndale Annex and the USAF for Area B, and not the City. Such changes have been adopted by Hawthorne and the USAF or can and should be adopted by Hawthorne and the USAF and incorporated into the Project to avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect on cultural resources. 21 04J D. Significant Unavoidable Effects that Cannot Be Mitigated to a Level of Insignificance. The City Council finds that in response to each adverse impact identified below, changes or alterations have been required or incorporated in the Project, which lessen the significant adverse environmental impact. However, these impacts cannot be totally avoided or reduced to a level of insignificance if the Project is implemented. 1. Aesthetics. a) Facts (1) Under the Proposed Action, Area A buildings could extend up to 25 feet above the eight of the existing buildings. The maximum height of the buildings along the southern property line of Area A have been reduced from 50 feet to 40 feet in the specific plan for Area A., thereby reducing the severity of the visual impact from 25 feet to 15 feet. b) Mitigation: Even with the reduction in height, development of Area A would result in a significant impact to views from the residential area located to the south of the site. No mitigation measures are available to reduce this impact below a level of significance. c) Finding: The City finds that although the aesthetic impact of the Project on the residential area to the south of Area A will remain significant and unavoidable, no feasible mitigation measures are available to avoid or lessen the impact below a level of significance. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh this significant unavoidable impact. 2. Transportation. a) Facts /Effects. (1) The Proposed Action is expected to produce one Project related significant traffic impact during the a.m. and p.m. peak hour. This impact would occur at the intersection of Aviation Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard. b) Mitigation. (1) A northbound right turn lane shall be installed on Aviation Boulevard at El Segundo Boulevard. Land shall be dedicated on the east side of Aviation Boulevard south of El Segundo Boulevard from Area A to create sufficient right -of -way for the installation of a right turn lane. 22 046 c) Finding: The City finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Hawthorne and not the City. Such changes have been adopted by Hawthorne or can and should be adopted by Hawthorne and incorporated into the Project to reduce the impact at Aviation Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard, but the impact would remain significant and unavoidable. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh this significant unavoidable impact. 3. Libraries. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Development would increase the permanent residential Population by approximately 2,530 persons occupying Area A and the Lawndale Annex. (2) The Proposed Action for all four sites would have less than significant impacts on the El Segundo and City of Los Angeles libraries, but would have a potentially significant impact on the Los Angeles County Public Library ( "LACPL ") system. (3) The LACLP Wiseburn, Hawthorne and Lawndale libraries, which would serve Area A and the Lawndale Annex residents, are adequately supplied with books and materials to meet the new demand. However, the size of the Wiseburn Library, the closest facility, may not be adequate to accommodate the approximately 2,530 additional residents, which could result in the need for constructing a new library facility. (4) Although developer fees for LACPL impacts may be imposed upon projects in unincorporated Los Angeles County territory, LACPL does not require mitigation fees for projects that are developed within municipal boundaries. No developer fees have been established in the City or in Hawthorne to mitigate impacts to LACPL libraries. (5) The Sun Valley Property could be reoccupied at the same intensity of use and so would not create an increased demand for library services. b) Mitigation: (1) LACPL has requested that the City establish and impose a developer fee to mitigate impacts to the LACPL system. 23 04 7 c) Finding. (1) The City finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Hawthorne and not the City. However, Hawthorne may find that the imposition of a developer fee to mitigate impacts to the LACPL system would be economically unfeasible, because it would exacerbate an existing gap between the collective value of Area A, the Lawndale Annex, and the Sun Valley Property and the cost of the SAMS Center on Area B. Widening the gap is also inconsistent with the Project objectives. (2) LACPL funding sources (e.g. property tax, general fund, parcel tax, grants, etc.) should reduce the severity of the impact that the Proposed Action could have on the LACPL system. However, this funding may not reduce the impact to a level of less than significant. (3) The City finds that the impact of the Project on the LACPL library system would remain significant and unavoidable without the imposition of a developer fee, as no other feasible mitigation measures are available to avoid or lessen the impact below a level of significance. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh this significant unavoidable impact. 4. Parks. a) Facts /Effects. (1) The Proposed Action would result in an increase in approximately 2,530 persons on Area A and the Lawndale Annex, which would increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks with the potential to accelerate the physical deterioration of the facilities. Because Hawthorne is park deficient, the addition of approximately 2,530 permanent residents would further exacerbate an already substandard park service ration. (2) Hawthorne includes public parks as a component of development impact fees to mitigate impacts to parks. (3) Under the Proposed Action, existing USAF activities on Area A would be relocated to Area B. This would not result in additional demands on the City's park system. (4) The Sun Valley Property could be reoccupied at the same intensity of use and so would not create an increased demand for park services. 24 048 b) Mitigation: A developer fee could be imposed to mitigate the impact of Area A and the Lawndale Annex on the Hawthorne park system. c) Finding: (1) The City finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Hawthorne and not the City. However, Hawthorne may find that the imposition of a developer fee to mitigate impacts to the Hawthorne park system would be economically unfeasible, because it would exacerbate an existing gap between the collective value of Area A, the Lawndale Annex, and the Sun Valley Property and the cost of the SAMS Center on Area B. Widening the gap is also inconsistent with the Project objectives. (2) The City finds that the impact of the Project on the Hawthorne park system would remain significant and unavoidable without the imposition of a developer fee, as no other feasible mitigation measures are available to avoid or lessen the impact below a level of significance. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh this significant unavoidable impact. 5. Air Quality -- Construction. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Construction emissions would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for Nitrogen Oxides ( "NOx ") in 2004 and 2006. (2) Construction emissions would exceed SCAQMD thresholds for Reactive Organic Gases ( "ROG ") emissions in 2005 and 2007. (3) State law requires that the Developer implement SCAQMD Rule 481 to control ROG emissions. b) Mitigation. (1) Construction contracts shall stipulate that diesel powered construction equipment shall be shut off when not in direct use. (2) Diesel engines, motors, or equipment shall be located as far away as possible from existing residential areas. 25 049 (3) Construction contracts shall explicitly stipulate that all diesel power equipment shall be properly tuned and maintained. c) Finding: The City finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Hawthorne and not the City. Such changes have been adopted by Hawthorne or can and should be adopted by Hawthorne and incorporated into the Project to reduce construction air quality impacts. However, these impacts would remain significant and unavoidable. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. 6. Air Quality- Operational. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Operational emissions would exceed significance thresholds for regional NOx, CO and ROG emissions. (2) The predominate source of such operational NOx, CO, and ROG emissions are motor vehicles associated with the traffic trip generation of the Project. b) Mitigation: No feasible mitigation measures are available to reduce operational air quality impacts below a level of significance. c) Finding. The City finds that although operational air quality impacts of the Project remain significant and unavoidable, no feasible mitigation measures are available to avoid or lessen these impacts below a level of significance. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. 7. Noise -- Construction. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Construction activities within Area A would result in significant impacts related to construction noise at two locations (Del Aire Park and Wiseburn Ave), while construction activities on the Lawndale Annex would result in significant impacts related to construction noise at one location (town home residential complex located immediately south of the Lawndale Annex). (2) Construction activities on Area B would result in significant construction noise impacts at one receptor location (LAAFB Child Development Center). 26 C50 b) Mitigation. (1) Construction contracts shall specify that all construction equipment shall be equipped with mufflers and other suitable noise attenuation devices. (2) All residential units and other sensitive receptors located within 400 feet of the construction site shall be sent a notice regarding the construction schedule of the Project. A sign, legible at a distance of 50 feet shall also be posted at the construction site. All notices and the signs shall indicate the dates and duration of construction activities, as well as provide a telephone number where residents can inquire about the construction process and register complaints. (3) A "noise disturbance coordinator" position shall be established for the Project. The disturbance coordinator shall be responsible for responding to any local complaints about construction noise. The disturbance coordinator would determine the cause of the noise complaint (e.g., starting too early, bad mufflers, etc.) and would be required to implement reasonable measures such that the complaint is resolved. All notices that are sent to residential units within 400 feet of the construction site and all signs posted at the construction site shall list the telephone number for the noise disturbance coordinator. c) Finding: The City Council finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Hawthorne for Area A and the Lawndale Annex and the USAF for Area B, and not the City. Such changes have been adopted by Hawthorne and the USAF or can and should be adopted by Hawthorne and the USAF and incorporated into the Project to reduce construction noise impacts. However, these construction noise impacts would remain significant and unavoidable. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. E. Insicinificant Cumulative Impacts. The City Council finds that the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings in this matter do not identify or contain substantial evidence which identifies significant adverse cumulative environmental effects associated with the Project in conjunction with the related Projects identified in Section 2.6 of the DEIS /EIR (collectively, the "Related Projects ") with respect to the areas listed below. a) Population, Housing and Employment b) Land Use 27 051 C) Aesthetics d) Shade /Shadow e) Public Utilities (Sewer, Water, Natural Gas, and Electricity) f) Public Services (Fire Protection, Police Protection, and Schools) g) Hazardous Materials And Hazardous Waste Management h) Soils and Geology i) Water Resources j) Operational Noise k) Cultural Resources F. Significant Unavoidable Cumulative Impacts. The City Council finds that in response to each impact identified below, changes or alterations have been required or incorporated into the Project, which lessen the significant adverse environmental impact. However, these impacts cannot be totally avoided or reduced to a level of insignificance if the Project is implemented. The Project's contribution to these impacts would be cumulatively considerable under CEQA. 1. Transportation. a) Facts (1) The impacts of cumulative traffic growth were incorporated into the traffic modeling for the Project. (2) The level of service is expected to decline to unacceptable levels at 27 of the 37 intersections studied in the DFIS /EIR whether or not the Project is approved. (3) No sub - regional traffic impact fee has been established or proposed for "fair- share" contributions to regional transportation improvements that might reduce the severity of cumulative traffic impacts. b) Finding: The City Council finds that although mitigation can be incorporated into the Project to reduce the severity of the Project - specific traffic impact, no feasible mitigation measures exist to address significant and unavoidable cumulative traffic impacts. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable cumulative impacts. 28 0 J n 2. Solid Waste. a) Fact/Effects. (1) With mandatory source reduction and recycling programs, the Project and Related Projects would not produce an amount of solid waste that exceeds available landfill capacity. (2) The Project together with Related Project could contribute to a significant unavoidable cumulative impact on solid waste disposal capacity caused by regional growth. (3) Such impacts cannot by reduced below a level significance by Project- specific mitigation measures. b) Finding: The City Council finds that while mitigation is not needed to reduce Project - specific solid waste impacts, no feasible mitigation measures exist to address significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts caused by solid waste generation. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. 3. Libraries. a) Facts (1) The majority of Related Projects are commercial, and commercial projects do not typically generate a significant demand for library services. (2) The imposition of library impact fees upon residential Related Projects is not expected to reduce the cumulative impact of residential development upon the LACPL system to a level of less than significant. b) Finding: The City Council finds that since mitigation is not feasible to reduce the Project- specific impact on libraries, no feasible mitigation measures exist to address significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts on the LACPL system. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. 4. Parks. a) Facts (1) The majority of Related Projects are commercial, and commercial projects do not typically generate a significant demand for park services. 29 053 (2) Impacts caused by the residential Related Projects could be reduced through developer fees or parkland contributions. (3) None of the residential Related Projects are proposed to be located in Hawthorne. However, because Hawthorne is already parkland deficient, the imposition of park impact fees upon Related Projects is not expected to reduce the cumulative impact of residential development upon Hawthorne's park system to a level of less than significant. b) Finding: The City Council finds that since mitigation is not feasible to reduce the Project- specific impact on parks, no feasible mitigation measures exist to address significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts on Hawthorne's park system. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. 5. Air Quality— Construction. a) Facts (1) If construction of Related Projects overlap construction of the Project, a temporary increase in short-term PMio, CO, ROG and NOx emissions would occur. (2) Although Project- specific mitigation measures have been imposed upon the Project and may be imposed upon the Related Projects, because the South Coast Air Quality basin is in non - attainment status for these pollutants, any contribution is considered cumulatively significant. b) Finding: The City Council finds that although mitigation can be incorporated into the Project to reduce the severity of Project - specific air quality impacts due to construction, no feasible mitigation measures exist to address significant and unavoidable cumulative air quality impacts due to construction. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. 6. Air Quality— Operation. a) Facts (1)The Project together with Related Projects will exceed the cumulative significance thresholds for CO, ROG, and NOx. 30 `-i -4 (2) No feasible mitigation measures are available to implement regional reductions in operational air quality impacts below significant levels. b) Finding: The City Council finds that since mitigation is not feasible to reduce Project- specific impacts on air quality related to operations, no feasible mitigation measures exist to address significant and unavoidable cumulative air quality impacts related to operations. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. 7. Noise — Construction. a) Facts (1) If construction of Related Projects overlap construction of the Project, cumulative noise impacts would contribute temporarily to the existing ambient noise levels of the area and exceed the threshold of significance. (2) Although project- specific mitigation measures have been imposed upon the Project and similar measures may be imposed upon Related Projects, no mitigation measures are available to implement regional reductions in construction noise impacts below the level of significance. b) Finding: The City Council finds that although mitigation can be incorporated into the Project to reduce the severity of the Project - specific noise impact on sensitive receptors, no feasible mitigation measures exist to address significant and unavoidable cumulative noise impacts on such receptors. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. G. Project Alternatives. 1. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Consideration. Various alternatives to the Proposed Action were considered and dismissed without further study because they failed to accomplish the objectives of the Project or were otherwise not feasible. One alternative involved selling Area A and the Sun Valley Property as well as building new facilities on Area B and upgrading Building 80 on the Lawndale Annex to meet seismic requirements using traditional USAF funding. This alternative was considered and evaluated in the Draft EA prepared by the Air Force in September, 2002 (Alternative #2). However, the USAF concluded that the lead time required to include the financial requirements associated with this alternative in the federal budget would 31 055 not feasibly lead to the provision of seismically safe facilities in a reasonable period of time and would thus have the potential to result in mission degradation. Another alternative involved development of Area A with residential units within the boundaries of the City. This alternative was considered, but eliminated from further consideration, because the City would not be able to provide adequate public services to residential development located on Area A. Presently, all residential development within the City is located west of Sepulveda Boulevard. The City has planned for and deployed, primarily on the west side of the City, the resources associated with the major infrastructure and public services that it provides to reflect this land use pattern. Another alternative would include development of office or industrial uses on Area A. This alternative was considered and eliminated from further consideration because the potential environmental impacts associated with this alternative would exceed those associated with developing a commercial center on Area A, particularly with respect to traffic, air quality, noise and, potentially, the use of hazardous materials in conjunction with an industrial use. Finally, the alternative of locating the proposed private land uses identified in the Proposed Action at an alternate location was considered and dismissed. The feasibility of the concept, which the USAF is pursuing under the SAMS Project, depends upon the development of the sites that would be conveyed by the USAF with private uses that generate sufficient value to support the construction of the new facilities for the USAF on Area B at no cost to the federal government. Therefore, development of the specific sites evaluated in the DEIS /EIR is integral to the Proposed Action. Alternative locations would not meet the needs of the Proposed Action or the Project Objectives. 2. No Action Alternative. a) Description. The No Action alternative allows local governmental decision - makers to compare the impacts of approving the Proposed Action with the impacts of not approving the Proposed Action. Under the No Action Alternative, the USAF would continue to maintain and operate existing facilities at LAAFB in their current configuration. Seismic retrofits to existing facilities would be planned to occur over time to the maximum extent possible. Repair of primary building systems, roads, parking and primary utilities would not be accomplished unless traditional military ( "MILCON ") or Operations and Maintenance ( "O &M ") funding becomes available. No such funding for these repairs and upgrades is included in any current or foreseeable budget. For the foreseeable future, therefore, USAF personnel would continue working in existing buildings that do not meet building and safety codes, which would result in mission degradation for the LAAFB. If USAF facilities were upgraded as part of the No Action Alternative, construction activity would be primarily limited to interior work and would not include major demolition, grading or construction activities. The appearance of Area A, Area B, the Lawndale Annex and the Sun Valley Property would not change substantially under the No Action Alternative. Existing LAAFB employment would not change under this 32 056 alternative and therefore no changes in traffic generation or utility consumption would be associated with the No Action Alternative. b) Comparison to Project. As shown in Table S -1 of the DEIS /EIR, the No Action Alternative would not result in any of the significant impacts associated with the Project. The No Action Alternative would, however, result in a short-term significant impact to soils and geology. In addition, seismic safety and hazardous materials impacts under the No Action Alternative would be greater than the Project. Nevertheless, the significant impacts associated with Project would be substantially avoided by the implementation of the No Action Alternative, but this alternative would not implement the Project objectives. However, the No Action Alternative could result in the closing or relocation of the LAAFB out of southern California as part of the federal Base Relocation And Closure ('BRAG') process. The next BRAC process is scheduled to start in 2004. The condition of the buildings, which is exemplified by deteriorating facilities, and substandard seismic and life safety building standards, such as exist on the LAAFB, is an important criterion under the BRAC process for determining whether a military facility should be closed. Closure of the LAAFB or its relocation outside of Southern California would be contrary to the Project objectives. 3. El Segundo Commercial Alternative. a) Description. Under the El Segundo Commercial Alternative, Area A would be conveyed by the USAF for private development with a commercial shopping center of up to 750,000 gross square feet, including up to 4,000 square feet of fast food uses. The reorganization process, by which Area A would be detached from the City and annexed to Hawthorne would not occur. All existing buildings on Area A (835,000 sq. ft.) would be demolished to accommodate the proposed development under this Alternative. El Segundo would be responsible for granting land use entitlements required to construct the commercial shopping center on Area A. Uses within the shopping center would include but not necessarily be limited to several anchor retail tenants with a mix of other merchandise stores, restaurants, service and /or fast food uses. A building height limit would be established along the southern boundary of Area A that would limit building height to 65 feet along the eastern 40% of this boundary and 35 feet along the western 60% of this boundary. Building heights along El Segundo Boulevard would be limited to 65 feet. Buildings would be required to be set back at least 100 feet from the southern boundary of the Project site. Design features would be required in this Alternative to minimize impacts on adjacent land uses. To minimize noise, dust and lighting impacts on the Hollyglen community located to the south of the Project site, the existing chain link fence located along the southern edge of the Project site would be replaced with an eight -foot high concrete block wall. Landscaping would also be provided throughout Area A. Development of Area A under this Alternative would be anticipated to commence in 2006 and be completed in 2007. 33 0 51 Under the El Segundo Commercial Alternative, development of Area B would be the same as under the Proposed Action. Development of the Lawndale Annex by the Developer would be the same as under the Proposed Action; the land use entitlements would also be granted by Hawthorne. The Sun Valley Property would be conveyed by the USAF to the Developer, and the use would be the same as under the Proposed Action. b) Comparison to Project. As shown in Table S -1 of the DEIS /EIR, the El Segundo Commercial Alternative would not substantially reduce or avoid the significant impacts associated with the Project. The El Segundo Commercial Alternative would result in all the same significant unavoidable impacts as the Project, as well as an additional significant unavoidable impact arising from localized CO concentrations. In addition, significant unavoidable traffic and aesthetic impacts are more severe under the Commercial Alternative than under the Project. 4. Renovation Alternative. a) Description. The Renovation Alternative involves renovating existing substandard SAMS facilities on Area A (Buildings 100, 105, 115,120 and 125) by the USAF using traditional MILITARY or O &M funding as it becomes available. Renovation activities would include seismic retrofits, removal of interior walls and partitions to reconfigure space, replacement of primary building systems, removal of lead based paint and asbestos, installation of fire suppression systems and other actions required to fully meet seismic and life safety requirements within these buildings. This alternative would require the vacating of facilities during the renovation. Under this Alternative, right sizing would take place, and primary utilities would also be repaired or replaced. Under the Renovation Alternative, no new development or renovation activities would take place in Area B. Current LAAFB employees located on Area A would not be relocated to Area B under this Alternative. Under this Alternative, the Lawndale Annex would be retained by the USAF and would continue to be used for RV storage, parking and recreational uses. Building 80, located on the Lawndale Annex, would be upgraded by the USAF using MILCON or O &M funding as it becomes available to meet seismic and safety requirements. The Sun Valley Property would be disposed of through the traditional process of federal government excess property disposal administered by the General Services Administration. No demolition or construction activities would be anticipated to occur on this site in the reasonably foreseeable future, and no discretionary actions would be requested from the City of Los Angeles as part of this Alternative. b) Comparison to Project. As shown in Table S -1 of the DEIS /EIR, the Renovation Alternative would not result in any of the significant impacts associated with the Project. The Renovation 34 058 Alternative would, however, result in a short-term significant impact to soils and geology. Nevertheless, the significant impacts associated with Project would be substantially avoided by the implementation of the Renovation Alternative. However, the Renovation Alternative could result in the closing or relocation of the LAAFB out of southern California as part of the federal Base Relocation And Closure ('BRAC") process. The next BRAC process is scheduled to start in 2004. The condition of the buildings, which is exemplified by deteriorating facilities and substandard seismic and life safety building standards, such as exist on the LAAFB, is an important criterion under the BRAC process for determining whether a military facility should be closed. Closure of the LAAFB or its relocation outside of Southern California would be contrary to the Project objectives 5. Reduced Residential Alternative a) Description. Under the Reduced Residential Density Alternative, the same land uses proposed for Area A under the Proposed Action would be constructed by the Developer, at a development density approximately 20% lower than under the Proposed Action. This would result in the construction of 600 residential condominium units on Area A. Area A would be reorganized from the City into Hawthorne. Project entitlements would be processed by Hawthorne. The same land use approvals and development standards designed to minimize impacts to the Hollyglen neighborhood to the south of Area A (block wall and canopy of mature trees) would be incorporated into this Alternative. Height limits would be reduced to 32 feet along the southern boundary of the site, increasing to 45 feet along El Segundo Boulevard. The same level of development as would occur under the Proposed Action would occur on Area B under the responsibility of the USAF. Under the Reduced Residential Density Alternative, the same land uses proposed for the Lawndale Annex under the Proposed Action would be constructed by the Developer, at a development density approximately 20% lower than under the Proposed Action. This would result in the construction of 233 residential condominium units on the Lawndale Annex. Height limits would be reduced to 45 feet on the Lawndale Annex under this alternative. Under this Alternative, the Sun Valley Property will be conveyed by the Air Force to the private developer. However, no demolition or construction activities would be anticipated to occur on this site in the reasonably foreseeable future, and no discretionary actions would be requested from the City of Los Angeles as part of this Alternative. Under the Reduced Residential Density Alternative, the Sun Valley Property could be re- occupied with the same land uses (i.e., industrial /warehouse) under the same development intensity as previously associated with this site. b) Comparison to Project. As shown in Table S -1 of the DEIS /EIR, the Reduced Density Alternative would reduce or avoid the some of significant impacts associated with the Project. The 35 059 Reduced Density Alternative would avoid the Project's significant unavoidable impact to aesthetics, but would not avoid any other significant unavoidable impacts arising from the Project. Nevertheless, the severity of such impacts would be reduced in rough proportionality to the reduction in the density of development associated with this Alternative. 6. Findings Regarding Alternatives. a) Reasonable Range of Alternatives. The City Council finds that that (a) the FEIS /EIR describes a reasonable range of alternatives to the Project, which could feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the Project and would avoid or substantially lessen any significant effects of the Project; and (b) the City Council evaluated the comparative merits of the alternatives and rejected them in favor of the Project. b) Environmentally Superior Alternative. Section 15126.6 of the CEQA Guidelines indicates that an analysis of alternatives to the Project shall identify one alternative as the environmentally superior alternative. Furthermore, if the environmentally superior alternative is the "No Project" alternative, the EIR shall also identify the environmentally superior alternative from among the other alternatives. From a strictly environmental standpoint, the No Action Alternative is superior to all others. It leaves the existing buildings intact and avoids the significant impacts associated with the Project. The No Action Alternative would be temporary in nature, however, as it would not necessarily preserve the LAAFB in the southern California region. Even if the LAAFB remained in its present location, the No Action Alternative provides no mechanism for upgrading the USAF facilities. Consequently, the No Action Alternative would not fulfill the objectives of the Project. The Renovation Alternative is also environmentally superior to the Project. This alternative, however, depends upon MILCON and O &M funding to implement LAAFB facility improvements as does the No Action Alternative. The Project was authorized by the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106 -398) as amended by Section 2841 of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 because MILCON and O &M funding was too speculative to reasonably assure the renovation of LAAFB facilities. Currently no MILCON or O &M funding is allocated for LAAFB retrofitting or renovation. By letter dated May 27, 2003, the USAF informed the City that entire military construction budget for 9 major installments and 87 geographically separated sites worldwide averages $58 million per year. The cost to renovate the existing LAAFB facilities is estimated to be $134 million. Currently, there is no funding available to build the SAMS Center. It was this shortage of funds that first prompted the USAF to pursue what it describes as the unique process of exchanging land for new LAAFB facilities. Consequently, LAAFB retrofitting or renovation is economically infeasible. Other than the No Action Alternative and the Renovation Alternative, and based upon the evaluation of all environmental impacts associated with the Project and all 36 x`60 alternatives, the DEIS /EIR identified environmentally superior alternative as the Reduced Density Alternative. Under this alternative, one of the Project's significant and unavoidable impacts would be avoided and the remaining significant impacts would be reduced in severity. From an environmental standpoint this alternative is superior to the Project and all other Project alternatives. The Reduced Density Alternative, however, would fail to meet the objectives of the Project because a 20% reduction in development density on Areas A and C would fail to provide a density sufficient to assist in addressing the approximate $35 million gap between the value of the USAF's conveyed land and the cost of constructing new facilities for the USAF on Area B. Despite the environmental superiority of the Reduced Density Alternative, it is not economically feasible to implement and would have the identical practical effect of the No Action Alternative. The City, therefore, finds that specific economic, social, or other considerations make unfeasible the environmentally superior Project alternatives identified in the FEIS /EIR. The City Council finds on the basis of the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings in this matter that: A. Growth Inducing Impacts The Project is an in -fill development within a highly developed urban setting. As described in the FEIS /EIR, construction of the Project would result in increased population and short-term employment opportunities in the construction field. The Project would foster economic growth by increasing the number of residents in the Project area, who could, in turn, also patronize local businesses and services. The Project would not induce growth in an area that is not already developed with infrastructure to accommodate such growth. Thus, the Project would not result in significant growth inducing impacts. B. Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes. Construction of the Project would require the use of nonrenewable resources (i.e., wood, sand, gravel, fossil fuels) for building materials and to fuel construction vehicles and equipment. Subsequent use and maintenance of the Project would also require the long -term consumption of these nonrenewable resources at reduced levels typical for such developments. Long -term increases in ambient air pollution and noise levels would also occur as a result of the Project. The Project would also add traffic to local roads. Potential irreversible damage from environmental accidents associated with the Project are unlikely and will be avoided by compliance with the mitigation measures identified in the FEIS /EIR as well as existing city, county, state and federal safety regulations. 37 061 IV. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS. The City Council finds on the basis of the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings in this matter that the unavoidable significant impacts of the Project and the unavoidable significant cumulative impacts are acceptable when balanced against the benefits of the Project for the following reasons: A. The Project is the best option for upgrading the USAF facilities, and thereby preventing the LAAFB from being closed or relocated out of southern California as part of the BRAC process Deteriorating facilities such as exist on the LAAFB as well as substandard seismic and life safety building standards such as exist on the LAAFB are important criteria under the BRAC process for determining whether a military facility should be closed. The Project will allow for the redevelopment of the existing LAAFB facilities and remove existing unattractive and unsafe buildings and conditions. The Project, therefore, will substantially increase the likelihood of retaining the LAAFB in southern California by allowing the construction of the SAMS Center on Area B. The construction of the SAMS Center is expected to save approximately $3.5 million in annual operations and maintenance for the USAF. B. The LAAFB currently provides approximately 65,000 jobs and is projected to provide approximately 75,000 jobs directly and indirectly through considerable government contracts to local aerospace companies, currently valued at $8.5 billion and expected to increase to $10 billion. Most of the jobs and contracts created by the LAAFB exist in the City, Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach, and surrounding communities. C. The Project replaces currently underutilized USAF sites and replaces unsafe USAF building s with private uses that generate sufficient value to support the construction of the new facilities for the USAF no cost to the federal government. D. The Project will create attractive, well- designed residential development immediately adjacent to the City to serve the expected demand for new housing in the region, which will further strengthen the sense of community, adhere to livable community principles, and enhance the quality of life in southern California. E. The Project will improve the region's jobs /housing balance by providing new housing close to major employers. F. The Project facilitates of the long -term economic health of the City and it's neighboring cities and communities. G. The Project provides for residential housing rather than commercial development, which is preferred by the City of Hawthorne and the majority of the Hawthorne residents that have spoken out with respect to the Project. The Reorganization Agreement provides this residential component desired by Hawthorne while providing the City with assurances with respect to the use of tax revenues derived from Area A. Thus, the "transfer" of Area A from the City has been accomplished through a mutually beneficial agreement. 38 062 V. RECIRCULATION. A. Facts. 1. The fundamental nature of the project studied in the 2002 Draft EIR was changed in response to public comment, resulting in the Proposed Action set forth in the DEIS /EIR. 2. The City received comments on the DEIS /EIR from members of the public and from public agencies in both written and oral form. The FEIS /EIR contains written responses to all comments ('Responses to Comments ") received on the DEIS /EIR as of July 3, 2003. Some comments were incorporated into the FEIS /EIR as factual corrections and minor changes. Chapter 11.5 of the FEIS /EIR sets forth all factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIS /EIR. 3. As a result of public input on the Project, the Project was revised to lower the residential density of Area A and the Lawndale Annex and the maximum height of buildings along the southern property line of Area A. The maximum density of Area A was reduced from 850 residential units to 750 residential units. The maximum density of the Lawndale Annex was reduced from 300 residential units to 280 residential units. The maximum height of the structures along the southern property line of Area A was reduced from 50 feet to 40 feet. 4. These reductions were incorporated into the Project after public circulation of the DEIS /EIR. The analysis of environmental impacts associated with residential density, such as traffic impacts and air quality impacts, was not revised from the higher residential densities studied in the DEIS /EIR. Similarly, the environmental impacts analysis of the height of structures along the southern property line of Area A was not revised from the higher building heights studied in the DEIS /EIR. Thus the environmental impacts set forth in the FEIS /EIR with respect to these impacts is greater than is anticipated as a result of further reductions in residential density and building height. 5. In addition to density and height reductions, changes in financing and implementation strategies of the Project have substantially reduced the approximate $65 million gap between the value of the land to be conveyed by the USAF and the cost of constructing new facilities for the USAF on Area B. Nevertheless, an approximate $35 million gap remains between the value of the land and the cost of the new facilities. B. Finding. Pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15088.5 and Public Resources Code Section 21092.1 and based on the FEIS /EIR and the record of proceedings in this matter, the City Council finds that: 39 :1 U v 1. Factual corrections and minor changes are set forth as additions and corrections to the DEIS /EIR; and 2. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIS /EIR are not substantial changes in the DEIS /EIR that would deprive the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment on a substantial adverse environmental effect of the Project, a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect, or a feasible Project alternative; and 3. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIS /EIR will not result in new significant environmental effects or substantially increase the severity of the significant effects previously disclosed in the DEIS /EIR; and 4. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIS /EIR will not involve mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the DEIS /EIR that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment; and 5. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIS /EIR do not render the DEIS /EIR so fundamentally inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment would be precluded. Thus, the City Council finds that none of the conditions set forth in CEQA Guideline 15088.5 or Public Resources Code 21092.1 requiring recirculation of a draft environmental impact report have been met. The City Council further finds that incorporation of the factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIS /EIR into the FEIS /EIR does not require that the FEIS /EIR to be recirculated for public comment. PAPlanning & Building Safety\ PROJECTS \576- 599 \EA - 577\ Ea- 577.reso.cc.cega findings- soc.7- 8- 03.doc 40 06, RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO REQUESTING THE LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION TO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF TERRITORY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of El Segundo that: WHEREAS, the City of El Segundo desires to initiate proceedings pursuant to the Cortese- Knox - Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, commencing with Section 56000 of the California Government Code, for a reorganization that would concurrently detach territory from the City of El Segundo and annex the territory to the City of Hawthorne, as described in Exhibit "A" and shown on Exhibit "B" to this resolution. WHEREAS, the principal reasons for the proposed reorganization are as follows: (a) The United States Air Force maintains facilities in the greater Los Angeles region known as the Los Angeles Air Force Base ( "the LAAFB"). (b) Portions of the LAAFB facilities are currently located in the Sun Valley community of the City of Los Angeles ( "the Sun Valley Site "), in a section of the City of Hawthorne ( "the Lawndale Annex ") and on two sites in the City of El Segundo ( "Area A" and "Area B "). (c) The LAAFB presently employees more than 4,000 military and civilian personnel and their jobs are important to the economic vitality of Southern California and the local aerospace defense industry in particular. (d) The United States Air Force intends to consolidate and upgrade the LAAFB through the implementation of a unique public - private partnership, whereby the Sun Valley Site, the Lawndale Annex and Area A will be conveyed to a private developer in exchange for new facilities constructed by the developer on Area B from revenue generated by the developer. (e) Area A is located east of Sepulveda Boulevard at the southeast corner of El Segundo and Aviation Boulevards and adjacent to the El Segundo Boulevard on- and -off ramps to the San Diego (1 -405) Freeway in an area of the City of El Segundo that is zoned and developed with commercial and industrial uses. (e) As part of its revenue plan, the developer originally proposed to develop Area A with commercial uses, and the developer and the City of El Segundo LA #108237 v2 -1- 065 commenced the preparation of a specific plan and environmental impact report for such a project. (f) During public review of the project, local residents, including residents of the City of Hawthorne who live in a neighborhood that abuts the southern boundary of Area A ( "the Hollyglen Neighborhood ") objected to commercial development and called for residential development instead. (g) The developer was willing to heed the residents concerns; however, to promote the efficient delivery of public services to its residents, the City of El Segundo has a long- standing policy against permitting residential development east of Sepulveda Boulevard. (h) In order to do all that they can to retain the LAAFB and to satisfy the concerns of local residents, including the Hollyglen Neighborhood, the City of El Segundo has conditionally agreed (pursuant to a Reorganization Agreement entered into with the City of Hawthorne, the Hawthorne Redevelopment Agency, and the Developer entered into concurrently with the passage of this Resolution) to detach Area A for residential development only and the City of Hawthorne has agreed to annex Area A for residential development only.

El Segundo, Hawthorne, Agency and the Developer are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parties" and each may be referred to as a "Party". RECITALS A. The Los Angeles Air Force Base ( "LAAFB") is one of the key economic engines in the region, providing approximately 65,000 jobs directly and indirectly through annual government contracts to local aerospace companies, currently valued at $8,500,000,000, and expected to increase to $10,000,000,000. The LAAFB presently employs more than 4,000 military and civilian personnel and their jobs are important to the economic vitality of Southern California and the local aerospace defense industry. B. United States Air Force ( "USAF ") currently finds itself confronted with the problem of upgrading facilities at the LAAFB in severe disrepair which do not meet current building codes for fire and earthquake safety with limited federal funds. With extensive renovations needed to the LAAFB's 1950s era buildings, El Segundo and Hawthorne are concerned that the base could be closed and relocated to another state rather than undergoing a major renovation. C. The USAF has partnered with SAMS Venture, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Developer) to build new USAF facilities on one of the existing USAF sites (referred to as "Area B" and located at the Northwest corner of Aviation Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard in El Segundo and depicted on Exhibit "A" in exchange for conveyance of three properties: Area A, Area C and a small industrial property referred to as the Sun Valley property). Area A is comprised of approximately 39.24 acres located in El Segundo, immediately adjacent to Hawthorne, legally described in Exhibit "B" to this Agreement and diagramed in Exhibit "B" to this Agreement. Area C is comprised of approximately 13.93 acres of land located on Aviation Boulevard, North or Marine Avenue in Hawthorne. D. El Segundo and Hawthorne recognize the importance of the LAAFB remaining in the community; El Segundo and Hawthorne are therefore entering into this Agreement to assist the USAF in maximizing the possibility that new USAF facilities are built on Area B, and that successful and beneficial residential projects are built in Hawthorne at Areas A and C and at densities sufficient to assist in funding the $35 million dollar gap between the value of the USAF's excess land and the cost of constructing a new facilities on Area B. The new USAF development on Area B will house the Space and Missile Systems Center ( "SAMS" or "SAMS Project ") and be a state of the art facility with construction costs estimated at $115,000,000 that will save approximately $3,500,000 in annual operations and maintenance for the USAF. 619020.02/LA % f� M6971- 004 /7 -10 -03 /sjr/kt i—/ • �.. E. Developer was awarded the exclusive right to negotiate with the USAF to develop the new SAMS facility in exchange for Area A, Area C and the Sun Valley property pursuant to the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106- 398) as amended by Section 2841 of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003. F. The Developer and the USAF are negotiating an agreement (the "Developer - USAF Agreement') that the USAF will convey to the Developer LAAFB Area A, Area C and the Sun Valley Property currently owned by the USAF in exchange for the Developer constructing the new SAMS Project facilities for the USAF on Area B. G. Originally, the City of El Segundo, the Developer and the USAF contemplated the development of commercial retail uses on Area A and submitted applications to El Segundo for approval of commercial development of Area A. In July, 2002, El Segundo initiated an environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") for approvals and entitlements which would have allowed commercial development of Area A. El Segundo prepared and circulated a Draft Environmental Impact Report (the "2002 Draft EIR ") for agency and public comment between September 30, 2002 and November 13, 2002. In addition, the El Segundo Planning Commission held a public hearing on the 2002 Draft EIR on November 14, 2002, at which public input and comments were taken regarding the 2002 Draft EIR. H. El Segundo received a substantial number of comments from residents and property owners of the City of Hawthorne pertaining to the 2002 Draft EIR which suggested that the nature of the Project be changed. Specifically, some of the comments suggested that a joint EIS/EIR be prepared for the project and that the project description should be revised to reflect residential development of Area A, rather than its commercial development. As a result of the comments received on the 2002 Draft EIR, El Segundo and the Developer undertook additional consultation and coordination with the USAF and Hawthorne, as well as with homeowner organizations and residents located in the areas adjacent to Area A. This process resulted in concurrence among all parties that a new residential project be studied for development on Area A (the "Project "). I. The USAF and El Segundo are lead agencies for purposes of compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act ( "NEPA ") for those components of the Project requiring Federal action. J. Because El Segundo, as a policy, does not desire residential development on Area A, additional consultation was undertaken with Hawthorne and the Local Agency Formation Commission ( "LAFCO ") to consider initiating a reorganization of territory, which is a process by which Area A would be detached from El Segundo and annexed to Hawthorne, subject to conditions agreed -upon between Hawthorne and El Segundo (collectively, all changes of boundary are referred to herein as "Reorganization "). Hawthorne and El Segundo, upon certification of the EIS/EIR by El Segundo and Hawthorne and provided that: (1) El Segundo and Hawthorne each find that the EIS /EIR is adequate, and (2) Hawthorne approves a prezone ordinance for Area A, may determine to commence Reorganization of the Site to Hawthorne in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Hawthorne Code, and the applicable provisions of the Cortese -Knox- Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (the 619020.02/LA M6971- 004 /7- 10- 03 /sjr/ki _ z 073 Reorganization Act "). On January 13, 2003, the Hawthorne City Council adopted Resolution No. 6771, advising LAFCO that Hawthorne was considering initiating annexation Reorganization proceedings for Area A. On January 21, 2003, the El Segundo City Council adopted Resolution No. 4293 advising LAFCO that El Segundo was considering initiating detachment of Area A. In addition, Hawthorne and El Segundo agreed with the USAF that a joint Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report ( "EIS/EIR ") be prepared in accordance with applicable regulations of CEQA and NEPA. K. The Draft EIS /EIR was prepared by the El Segundo Department of Community, Economic and Development Services and circulated for public and agency review and comment from April 11 to May 27, 2003. The El Segundo City Council certified the Final EIS/EIR at a duly noticed public hearing on July 15, 2003. L. On July 16, 2003, at a public meeting and after considering all appropriate documentation and circumstances, the Hawthorne adopted resolutions and approved the entitlements set forth below (collectively, the "Project Approvals "): 1. Hawthorne Resolution No. 03 -_, and (El Segundo adopted Resolution No. on July 15, 2003) adopting findings regarding the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report Sch.

Ordinance No. 1779 approving the Willow Glen Development Agreement. M. The Hawthorne Planning Commission and the Hawthorne City Council have given notice of their intention to consider the Project Approvals, have conducted public hearings thereon pursuant to CEQA, the California Government Code and the Hawthorne Code, and have found that the Project Approvals and the Development Project are: (1) consistent with the General Plan (as amended), adopted plans, codes, ordinances and policies; (2) consistent with all other ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations, laws, plans and policies applicable to Area A and Area C; and (3) in the best interest of the health, safety, and general welfare of the Hawthorne, its residents, and the general public. N. Following approval of this Agreement but prior to the effectiveness of the Reorganization, Hawthorne intends to consider adoption of an amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project No. 2 that would add Areas A and B to the Redevelopment Project Area. Such an amendment also needs to be approved by the El Segundo City Council. O. Hawthorne agrees and understands that El Segundo would not pursue the Reorganization and give up valuable benefits it would receive (for example, tax revenues and local employment opportunities) from the commercial development of Area A but for its desire to have the LAAFB remain in the region and specifically on Area B. Accordingly, El Segundo is willing to transfer its legal and equitable interests (including but not limited to, land use authority, taxing authority, police powers, eminent domain powers) in Area A to the City of Hawthorne subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Hawthorne acknowledges these substantial interests of El Segundo and the significant benefit Hawthorne, its residents and property owners are receiving from the potential Reorganization. P. The Developer desires to entitle and subdivide Area A, the Pacific Glen site, in order to develop no more than 750 residential units; and Area C, the Willow Glen Site, in order to develop 280 residential units Q. For the purposes of this Agreement, the aforementioned development of Areas A, B, C shall be referred to as the "Development Project' or "Project, "). R. The parties intend that this Agreement will survive beyond the term or terms of the present Hawthorne and El Segundo Councils and shall bind Hawthorne and El Segundo and future Hawthorne and El Segundo Councils to the terms and obligations specified in this Agreement. S. The parties understand that Hawthorne may incur inclusionary housing obligations for Areas A and C if the Developer -USAF Agreement is executed and the Development of Area A and C are developed in accordance with the SAMS Project.

WHEREAS, the principal reasons for the proposed reorganization are as follows: (a) The United States Air Force maintains facilities in the greater Los Angeles region known as the Los Angeles Air Force Base ( "the LAAFB"). (b) Portions of the LAAFB facilities are currently located in the Sun Valley community of the City of Los Angeles ( "the Sun Valley Site "), in a section of the City of Hawthorne ( "the Lawndale Annex ") and on two sites in the City of El Segundo ( "Area A" and "Area B ").

(d) The United States Air Force intends to consolidate and upgrade the LAAFB through the implementation of a unique public - private partnership, whereby the Sun Valley Site, the Lawndale Annex and Area A will be conveyed to a private developer in exchange for new facilities constructed by the developer on Area B from revenue generated by the developer.

EXHIBIT D A RESOLUTION OF APPLICATION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE REQUESTING THE LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION COMMISSION TO INITIATE PROCEEDINGS FOR THE REORGANIZATION OF TERRITORY RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Hawthorne that: WHEREAS, the City of Hawthorne desires to initiate proceedings pursuant to the Cortese- Knox - Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, commencing with Section 56000 of the California Government Code, for a reorganization that would concurrently detach territory from the City of El Segundo and annex the territory to the City of Hawthorne, as described in Exhibit "A" and shown on Exhibit "B" to this resolution. WHEREAS, the principal reasons for the proposed reorganization are as follows: (a) The United States Air Force maintains facilities in the greater Los Angeles region known as the Los Angeles Air Force Base ( "the LAAFB"). (b) Portions of the LAAFB facilities are currently located in the Sun Valley community of the City of Los Angeles ( "the Sun Valley Site "), in a section of the City of Hawthorne ( "the Lawndale Annex ") and on two sites in the City of El Segundo ( "Area A" and "Area B "). (c) The LAAFB presently employees more than 4,000 military and civilian personnel and their jobs are important to the economic vitality of Southern California and the local aerospace defense industry in particular. (d) The United States Air Force intends to consolidate and upgrade the LAAFB through the implementation of a unique public - private partnership, whereby the Sun Valley Site, the Lawndale Annex and Area A will be conveyed to a private developer in exchange for new facilities constructed by the developer on Area B from revenue generated by the developer. (e) Area A is located east of Sepulveda Boulevard at the southeast corner of El Segundo and Aviation Boulevards and adjacent to the El Segundo Boulevard on- and -off ramps to the San Diego (1 -405) Freeway in an area of the City of El Segundo that is zoned and developed with commercial and industrial uses. LA #108237 Q A- 0 (� ( (e) As part of its revenue plan, the developer originally proposed to develop Area A with commercial uses, and the developer and the City of El Segundo commenced the preparation of a specific plan and environmental impact report for such a project. (f) During public review of the project, local residents, including residents of the City of Hawthorne who live in a neighborhood that abuts the southern boundary of Area A ( "the Hollyglen Neighborhood ") objected to commercial development and called for residential development instead. (g) The developer was willing to heed the residents concerns; however, to promote the efficient delivery of public services to its residents, the City of El Segundo has a long- standing policy against permitting residential development east of Sepulveda Boulevard. (h) In order to do all that they can to retain the LAAFB and to satisfy the concerns of local residents, including the Hollyglen Neighborhood, the City of El Segundo has conditionally agreed (pursuant to a Reorganization Agreement entered into with the City of Hawthorne, the Hawthorne Redevelopment Agency, and the Developer entered into concurrently with the passage of this Resolution) to detach Area A for residential development only and the City of Hawthorne has agreed to annex Area A for residential development only.

Douglas Street (Area B) 14800 Aviation Boulevard (Lawndale Annex in Hawthorne) 10888 W. La Tuna Canyon Road (Sun Valley) I. Introduction The proposed project consists of a series of actions related to the possible conveyance, development, and use of four properties currently belonging to Los Angeles Air Force Base ( LAAFB), which are referred to as: Area A, Area B, the Lawndale Annex, and the Sun Valley property. LAAFB houses several commands which encompass functions related to research, development, and procurement of military space systems. LAAFB does not include an airfield and has no requirement for flight operations capability. Under the proposed concept, Area A, the Lawndale Annex and the Sun Valley property will be conveyed to a private developer SAMS Venture, LLC (a partnership of Kearny Real Estate Company, Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund IV, and Catellus) in exchange for constructing new buildings for the Air Force on Area B. As part of the Proposed Action, the developer would construct a maximum of 850 townhouse style condominiums on Area A and a maximum of 330 townhouse style condominiums on the Lawndale Annex. No new development would occur on the Sun Valley site. 104 The proposed concept will help ensure that the LAAFB stays in El Segundo and does not become subject to any future round of base closures by the federal government. The LAAFB is a vital part of the City, and South Bay economy. The base manages approximately $8.5 billion in annual contracts to defense contractors. Many of these companies, including Boeing Satellite Systems, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, and Lockheed Martin are located in El Segundo. The Aerospace Corporation, which employs 2,500 people in EI Segundo, is also dependant on the base. Ensuring the base's long -term future in the area is a regional concern that the proposed concept helps to facilitate. II. Recommendation Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the facts as contained within this report, and adopt Resolution No. 2540 (Exhibit A) recommending that the City Council certify Environmental Assessment No. 577 for the Los Air Force Base Land Conveyance, Construction and Development Project. III. Protect Activities Subject To Action By the City of El Segundo The following activities require action by the City of El Segundo 1) Environmental Assessment No. 577 (EA No. 577) - A joint Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS /EIR) has been prepared for this project pursuant to the requirements of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The public review and comment period for the Draft EIS /EIR extends from April 11, 2003 to May 27, 2003. Because the City has been designated as the lead agency for purposes of CEQA, the Final EIR/EIS is subject to certification by the City Council. 2) Local Agency Formation Commission ( LAFCO) Reorganization —Area A of the LAAFB, the Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way to the south of Area A, and the Caltrans 1 -405 Freeway onramp at El Segundo Boulevard together with portions of the public right -of -way in El Segundo and Aviation Boulevards are proposed to be detached from the City of El Segundo and annexed into the City of Hawthorne. This reorganization is subject to approval by LAFCO upon application by the City Council in conjunction with an application by the Hawthorne City Council. 3) Redevelopment Agency Amendment The City Council has agreed to allow Hawthorne to study the inclusion of Areas A and B of the LAAFB in the Hawthorne Redevelopment Area No. 2 as a mechanism to facilitate the financing of the new Air Force facilities on Area B. A final decision by Hawthorne to amend Area No. 2 to include Areas A and B is subject to approval by ordinance of the City Council. , �i� z 1 � Only the Draft EIS /EIR requires review and recommendations by the Planning Commission. The LAFCO application and the redevelopment ordinance are at the sole discretion of the City Council. However, the City Council cannot act on the application or the ordinance until it has certified the Final EIS /EIR The City of Hawthorne is concurrently processing entitlement applications for the proposed residential development of Area A (also known as Pacific Glen) and the Lawndale Annex property (also known as Willow Glen) together with a General Plan amendment and specific plans that will serve as the zoning for Area A and the Lawndale Annex. However, Hawthorne cannot act on the General Plan amendment, specific plans or entitlements until the Final EIS /EIR has been certified by the City Council. IV. Background There are currently no entitlements in place for development on any of the four sites that make up the LAAFB. Pursuant to CEQA, the City of El Segundo prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the original commercial project proposed for Area A as part of the Air Force modernization project. The Air Force prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) pursuant to NEPA, which primarily focused on the impacts of development of the Air Force's proposed new facilities on Area B of the LAFFB. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the City's Draft EIR last year. However, after consultation with the Air Force, the City of Hawthorne, and the developer, the City determined that instead of completing the review of the original project, a new joint EIS /EIR would be prepared with the Air Force to analyze the impacts of the entire LAAFB land conveyance, construction, and development project in one comprehensive EIS /EIR. V. Analysis Site Description and Surrounding Land Uses (Exhibit B — Vicinity Map) Area A The approximately 39.24 -acre, triangular- shaped Area A site is located at the eastern edge of the City of El Segundo, and is bounded by El Segundo Boulevard to the north, Union Pacific railroad tracks to the south, the San Diego Freeway (1 -405) to the east, and Aviation Boulevard to the west (Exhibit C). Area A is located approximately two miles east of downtown El Segundo and approximately one mile south of the Los Angeles International Airport ( "LAX "). Regional access to the site and vicinity is provided from 1 -405, which is located immediately east of the project site, and the Century Freeway (1 -105), located approximately one mile north of the project site. An existing on -ramp and off - ramp to and from 1-405 is located on El Segundo Boulevard, just east of Area A. Major arterials that provide access to the Area A include Aviation Boulevard to the west and El Segundo Boulevard to the north. Area A is currently occupied with six two -story and one six -story office buildings totaling approximately iUb 3 835,000 square feet. These seven buildings are identified as Building Nos. 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, and 130 which house engineering, research and administrative offices, and a laboratory. Area A is located within an area of the City of El Segundo containing a mix of commercial and industrial land uses. Adjacent land uses to the north, across El Segundo Boulevard, include a Lockheed Martin facility, a Big 5 retail store (and corporate headquarters), other commercial properties, and single - family residential properties located within the unincorporated Los Angeles County community of Del Aire. The adjacent land uses to the east of Area A include a freeway ramp and a Ramada Inn. Land uses to the south include the Union Pacific railroad right -of -way and single - family residential uses within the Hollyglen neighborhood of the City of Hawthorne. Land uses to the west include Xerox, Inc., Catalina Pacific Concrete, and The Aerospace Corporation. Other land uses in the immediate area include single - family residential neighborhoods, the Los Angeles County Del Aire Park, and Anza Elementary School to the north. To the east of the project area is a freeway right -of -way (1- 405) and single - family residential uses, which are located to the east of the freeway right -of -way, in unincorporated Los Angeles County. Three schools, Juan Cabrillo Elementary School, Richard Henry Dana Middle School, and Burnett School are located south of the project area, in unincorporated Los Angeles County. Industrial and light industrial uses and the Chevron Oil Refinery are located approximately one mile to the west of the project area. Area B Area B is approximately 54 acres and is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of El Segundo Boulevard and Douglas Street, in the City of El Segundo. Area B is located directly northwest of Area A and is bounded by El Segundo Boulevard to the south, Aviation Boulevard to the east, Douglas Street to the west, and the Northrop Grumman Corporation to the north (Exhibit D). Area B presently contains support facilities for Air Force personnel assigned to the Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) and the 61st Air Base Group (ABG), including a child development center, commissary, base exchange /gas station, a fitness center, and a medical /dental clinic. Area B is located within an area of the City of El Segundo that contains commercial and industrial uses. Directly north of Area B is the Northrop Grumman facility. North of Imperial Highway are the LAX airline /airport cargo facilities. Northeast of the project site, on the corner of Imperial Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard, is a Metro Rail Green Line station and parking for public transportation users. East of the Air Force property is a long narrow property owned by The Aerospace Corporation. The Aerospace property was acquired from Extra Space Storage, which had received City approvals to construct a self - storage facility on the property. This property is proposed to be used as parking for the LAAFB. The City has acquired a portion of the property from Extra Space Storage for the construction of a municipal water well. At the northwest corner of 4 107 Area B is also a long narrow property owned by Catellus, one of the project developers. A portion of this property is also proposed to be used by the Air Force Base for parking. East of these properties is a Burlington North Santa Fe railroad right -of -way. Land uses to the east of Area B, on the east side of Aviation Boulevard, include a variety of small businesses including motels, restaurants, and liquor stores; small office buildings (e.g., AAA and The Aerospace Corporation), and single - family residences in the unincorporated Del Aire community. Lawndale Annex The Lawndale Annex site is approximately 13 acres and is located in the southwest portion of the City of Hawthorne on the east side of Aviation Boulevard between Rosecrans Avenue and Marine Avenue (Exhibit E). The Lawndale Annex is already included within the City of Hawthorne's Redevelopment Area No. 2. The Lawndale Annex is currently occupied by a paved parking lot used for long -term vehicle parking and recreational vehicle storage, a 30,000 square foot, small metal frame commercial building (Building 80), staff parking area for personnel in Building 80, and recreational facilities, including a football /softball field, running track, and picnic /recreation pavilion and a family camping area commonly referred to as FamCamp. The Lawndale Annex is located in an area of mixed uses including public, commercial, and industrial facilities. Light industry, regional bus and rail transportation facilities, and major highway and utilities infrastructure are some of the activities that surround the Lawndale Annex. Land uses to the north of the Lawndale Annex include the Hawthorne Greenline Maintenance Yard and Shop, a hotel, self- storage and office buildings. To the east of the Lawndale Annex is Southern California Edison's (SCE) El Nido Substation. To the southeast is a townhome condominium development. Land uses to the south include the Federal Aviation Administration building and additional office buildings south of Marine Avenue. Land uses to the west include office buildings and a Chevron service station. Southwest of the Lawndale Annex, in the City of Manhattan Beach, are single - family residences and several park/recreation facilities, respectively. Sun Valley The Sun Valley property is approximately 3.7 acres and is located at 10888 W. La Tuna Canyon Road in the Sun Valley community of the City of Los Angeles. The Golden State Freeway (1 -5), the Hollywood Freeway (SR 170), and the Foothill Freeway (1 -210) provide regional access to the site (Exhibit F). The Sun Valley property is currently developed with an approximately 59,600- square foot industrial building, which is currently vacant. Land uses surrounding the Sun Valley property include industrial and commercial facilities. Industrial activities include manufacturing facilities, equipment storage, and electrical transmission and vehicle dismantling /parts 5 l0 facilities. Commercial activities include a public self- storage facility and food stores. Single- family homes are located approximately 300 feet east of the Sun Valley property, and Burbank - Glendale- Pasadena Airport is located two miles southeast of the site. Project Characteristics Studied In The EIS /EIR Area A: Under the Proposed Action, development on Area A would consist of an "upscale" gated residential condominium development, with a density up to 22 units per acre for a maximum of 850 units (Exhibit C). The residential condominium development would include townhouse style units with a mix of two- to three -story buildings above at -grade parking (which will result in the building being three to four stories in height), along the southern property line (adjacent to the railroad right -of -way) rising incrementally to a maximum height of six stories, including at -grade parking, along El Segundo Boulevard. The southerly property line, adjacent to the railroad right -of -way, will be treated with a block wall and canopy of mature trees (the screening will address the privacy of the single - family residential neighborhood located south of the railroad tracks). The project would be developed with on -site resident and guest parking facilities, private open spaces and recreational areas, and access improvements. Primary access to the project site will be provided from El Segundo Boulevard and secondary access will be provided from Aviation Boulevard. The units will be for sale. They may include a combination of detached units and townhouse style units as well as condominium units, and may include subterranean and /or structured parking. Some units may also be used for senior housing or housing for the military. The existing 835,000 square feet of buildings on the project site would be demolished to accommodate the proposed project. Development of Area A is anticipated to commence in 2006 and be completed in 2008. Area B: The Proposed Action on this property consists of the enhancement of the existing 54 -acre site, which would remain under Federal jurisdiction. Area B currently contains facilities for support of Air Force personnel assigned to Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) and Air Force retirees, as well as a child development center, commissary, base exchange /gas station, medical /dental clinic, and physical fitness center. Under the proposed Systems Acquisition and Management Support (SAMS) agreements, new facilities would be constructed by the developer in Area B to house current base functions that would be transferred from Area A. As currently envisioned, the proposed additional development on the Area B property would include the demolition of some existing structures and construction of approximately 560,000 square feet of new administrative and special purpose facilities, in buildings up to five stories in height (Exhibit D). Development of Area B is anticipated to commence construction in 2003 and be completed in 2005. 6 109 Lawndale Annex: Under the Proposed Action, development on this property consists of the removal of existing improvements on the site and the development of a maximum of 300 residential units, with associated parking, landscaping and access improvements (Exhibit E). The site development may include subterranean and /or structured parking. Access to the project site would be provided from Aviation Boulevard. The units would be for sale, and may include a combination of condominium and townhouse style units with a maximum height of four stories. Development of this site is anticipated to commence in 2004 and be completed in 2005. Sun Valley Property: This site is presently developed with an approximately 59,600- square foot industrial building, which is currently vacant (Exhibit F). While the property will be conveyed to the private developer as part of this project, no demolition or construction activities are anticipated to occur on this site in the reasonably foreseeable future. Alternative Land Uses The Draft EIS /EIR studies the potential impacts of the Proposed Action and several project alternatives. One alternative would replace the 850 -unit residential development on Area A with a 750,000 square foot commercial shopping center. There would be no hotels included in this alternative and Area A would not be annexed into the City of Hawthorne or included in Hawthorne's Redevelopment Agency. The other alternatives studied in the Draft EIS /EIR include a No Action Alternative, Renovation Alternative, and Reduced Density Residential Alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, the existing LAAFB facilities would remain on each of the four project sites. The Renovation Alternative includes the seismic and building upgrades of the existing Air Force buildings on Area A through traditional military funding sources. Under this alternative, the existing facilities on Area B, the Lawndale Annex and the Sun Valley site would remain as is. The Reduced Density Residential Alternative includes the same uses as the Proposed Action with a 30% reduction in the maximum number of residential units on Area A (680) and the Lawndale Annex (230). VI. General Plan Consistency The El Segundo General Plan land use designation for Areas A and B is currently Federal Government. This designation only permits "a U.S. Government facility that is consistent with surrounding uses." Despite the land use designation, the City does not have land use control over either Area, because they are federally owned. 110 As a federal government facility, Area B would continue to be outside of the land use jurisdiction of the City of El Segundo. Nevertheless, the use of the proposed Air Force facilities on Area B would be in conformance with the Federal Government land use designation in the El Segundo General Plan and, therefore, consistent with the El Segundo General Plan. The potential effect of including Area B in the Hawthorne Redevelopment Area No. 2 is to transfer land use authority of Area B from the City of El Segundo to the City of Hawthorne, even though the land would remain a part of the City of El Segundo. However, since the federal government, as a higher government agency, is exempt from local land use regulations, the Air Force would not be subject to Hawthorne's land use control through the redevelopment agency either. Because Area A is to be conveyed to a private developer, future development of the property is subject to local land use control. The developer originally proposed a commercial center for the property. However, as a result of community input, the developer agreed to pursue residential development of the property. However, the City has a policy against residential development east of Sepulveda Boulevard. Thus, the City Council agreed to pursue the proposed reorganization, so that Area A could be developed for residential use within the City of Hawthorne. Zoning Consistency For the same reasons as mentioned above, the development of Area B is outside the land use control of the City of El Segundo. Consequently, the Air Force is exempt complying with the El Segundo Municipal Code. As previously mentioned, the Proposed Action involves the detachment of Area A from the City of El Segundo and its annexation into the City of Hawthorne. As a result, the City of Hawthorne will be responsible for establishing specific development standards for Area A and making zoning consistency findings. VII. Comments On The Draft EIS /EIR No comments on the Draft EIS /EIR were received from City departments. Comments from other public agencies and interested parties are attached as Exhibit G. As additional comments are received before the May 22, 2003 public hearing, they will be forwarded to the Commission in a Supplemental Staff Report. The City's environmental consultant, Christopher A. Joseph and Associates, will provide a list of all revisions to the Draft EIR and written responses to all comments received by May 27, 2003, in the Final EIR prior to review by the City Council. VIII. Environmental Review A joint Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS /EIR) was prepared for this project pursuant to the requirements of NEPA and CEQA (Exhibit H). The City hired the firm of Christopher A. Joseph and Associates (CAJA) to prepare the EIS /EIR. The City independently reviewed all 8 111 work products prepared by CAJA. Pursuant to NEPA and CEQA requirements, a Notice of Preparation /Notice of Intent (NOI/NOP) to prepare the EIS /EIR was circulated for public review from January 2, 2003 to February 2, 2003. The public review and comment period for the Draft EIS /EIR extends from April 11, 2003 to May 27, 2003. The City of Hawthorne and the Air Force conducted a joint public hearing on May 7, 2003 to receive public testimony on the Draft EIS /EIR. In accordance with the El Segundo's local CEQA guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805), the Planning Commission is conducting a public hearing to take public testimony on the Draft EIS /EIR and make recommendations on the EIS /EIR to the City council. This hearing is a joint public hearing with the Air Force to maximize the opportunity for public comment on the Draft EIS /EIR. Revisions to the Draft EIS /EIR and responses to comments received from the public, governmental agencies, and other interested parties during the public review period, which ends on May 27, 2003, will be prepared and will be included in the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (Final EIS /EIR). The responses to comments received by May .27, 2003 will be distributed to the public who request a copy and all public agencies who comment on the Draft EIS /EIR 10 days prior to the City Council hearing on the Final EIS /EIR. The City Council action will be to determine whether or not to certify the Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report and adopt a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The City Council is tentatively scheduled to conduct the public hearing on July 16, 2003. Summary of EIR Conclusions Based on public comments in response to the NOI/NOP and a review of environmental issues by staff, it was determined that the Draft EIS /EIR would analyze the following environmental impact areas: community setting, land use and aesthetics, transportation, public utilities, public services, hazardous materials management, soil and geology, water resources, air quality, noise and cultural resources. The Draft EIS /EIR also includes a discussion of environmental justice and protection of children as required by NEPA. It is important to note that there are different thresholds of significance under NEPA and CEQA. The Draft EIS /EIR defines the significant threshold under NEPA and CEQA for each topic studied. Due to the threshold differences, it is common for significant impacts under CEQA to not be significant under NEPA. For the purposes of CEQA, the Draft EIS /EIR concluded that all potentially significant direct project related impacts identified in the Draft EIS /EIR, with the exception of aesthetics, transportation, libraries, parks, short-term soils and geology, air quality impacts, short-term construction noise, and operational noise, are at a less than significant level due to the application of relevant City Policies and regulations and the imposition of project - specific mitigation measures. Table 2 -2 (page 2 -35) of the Draft EIS /EIR summarizes the potential environmental impacts, the proposed mitigation measures, and the level of significance of each potential impact after mitigation. Below is a discussion of the 9 112 environmental areas with significant unavoidable impacts.

The views from the residential areas to the south of Area A would be impacted by the perceived loss of privacy due to the proximity and height of the residential development (up to 50 feet) and the 65 -foot height of the proposed retail buildings under the Commercial Alternative. There are no feasible mitigation measures available to address these impacts that would be consistent with the project objectives. This impact is not considered significant under NEPA. Traffic The Draft EIS /EIR identified significant and unavoidable CEQA impacts related to traffic for the Proposed Action, Commercial Alternative and Reduced Density Residential Alternative. The Proposed Action and Reduced Density Residential Alternative would result in an unmitigatable traffic impact at the intersection of El Segundo and Aviation Boulevard during the p.m. peak hour. Mitigation Measure 4.3.3 -1, to add a northbound right turn lane at the intersection, would help reduce the potential impact, but would not reduce the impact below the City's significance threshold. The Commercial Alternative would have significant and unavoidable impacts at 10 intersections and one freeway location (southbound 1- 405, south of 1 -105). Feasible mitigation is available to help reduce impacts at three of those intersections: Aviation Blvd./El Segundo Blvd., El Segundo Blvd. /Isis Ave., and Aviation Blvd. /Marine Ave. The Draft EIS /EIR concludes that the mitigation at El Segundo Blvd. /Isis Ave. would reduce the impact to less than 10 113 significant, but the other two mitigation measures would not reduce the impacts below the significance thresholds. As a result, nine intersections and one freeway location would remain with significant and unavoidable CEQA impacts. Mitigation would apply under NEPA for indirect impacts of the Commercial Alternative. However, since implementation of the mitigation measures requires the approval of multiple jurisdictions, they will not be included in the Air Force's record of decision as enforceable conditions by the Air Force. Libraries The Draft EIS /EIR analysis of the impact of the project on libraries concluded that there would be a significant and unavoidable CEQA impact on the Los Angeles County Library system related to the Proposed Action, Commercial Alternative, and Reduced Density Residential Alternative. This impact is the result of the additional residential population that would be added on Area A and the Lawndale Annex through the residential development of those sites. The Wisebum Library, which is the closest library to Area A and the Lawndale annex, would not be able to adequately serve each of these alternatives. There is no feasible mitigation to reduce this impact. There are no library impact fees required in incorporated areas of Los Angeles County. Any requirement to pay impact fees would be unreasonable because it would make the project financially infeasible due to the large funding gap already. Consequently, the CEQA impact would remain significant and unavoidable. There would be no impact on the El Segundo Library from any of the project alternatives and there would be no impact under NEPA. Parks The impact on the existing neighborhood and regional parks (increased use with the potential to accelerate the physical deterioration of the facilities) associated with the Proposed Action (2,530 new residents), Commercial Alternative (1,274 residents) was found the to Reduced significant Residential voidabletempact n2 he D new raft EIS /EIR. As with libraries, the impact is related to the increase in population associated with residential development on Area A and the Lawndale annex. No developer fees in Hawthorne have been established to mitigate impacts on parks Any requirement to pay impact fees would be unreasonable because it would make the project financially infeasible due to the large funding gap already Consequently, the CEQA impact would remain significant and unavoidable. There would be no impact on parks in El Segundo and no impact under NEPA. Short-term Soils & Geology Under both NEPA and CEQA, the Draft EIS /EIR concluded that there would be a short-term significant unavoidable impact on seismicity for the No Action and Renovation Alternative for the existing buildings on Area A. In both these alternatives, the existing buildings, which do not meet current seismic safety standards, would remain. This could result in a greater potential for building damage in an earthquake than buildings that would meet current seismic �t 1- standards. Under both alternatives, the existing buildings would be renovated or replaced over time, ultimately correcting the potential impact. It is not known when renovation or replacement might occur. As a result, the seismic impact is considered short-term. There is no feasible mitigation until the buildings are renovated or replaced. Air Quality According to the Draft EIS /EIR, the Proposed Action, Commercial Alternative, and Reduced Density Residential Alternative would have negative air quality impacts associated with project related mobile source emissions under CEQA. When comparing the proposed emissions from mobile sources with the South Coast Air Quality Management's (SCAQMD) significance thresholds for criteria pollutants, the draft EIS /EIR concluded that the project would exceed the thresholds for Carbon Monoxide (CO2) Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC) and Nitrous Oxides (N%) at buildout in 2008. Because the degree of "excess" emissions substantially exceeds the strict SCAQMD limits, the Draft EIS /EIR concluded that there was little potential for any mitigation measures to reduce the project's mobile emissions. As a result, the project's impacts will remain significant and unavoidable. Additionally, the Draft EIS /EIR found that the Commercial Alternative would exceed the State's 8 -hour CO concentration "hotspot" standard at three intersections (El Segundo Blvd. /Isis Ave., El Segundo Blvd. /Hawthorne Blvd., and Marine Ave. /Hawthorne Blvd.). These CO "hotspot " impacts are related to vehicle trips associated with the Commercial Alternative. This is considered a significant unavoidable impact under CEQA and NEPA. Short-term Noise The Draft EIS /EIR concluded that construction noise associated with the Proposed Action, Commercial Alternative and Reduced Density Residential Alternative under NEPA and CEQA would be a short-term significant impact at three identified sensitive receptors. With all feasible mitigation measures implemented as identified in the Draft EIS /EIR, significant short-term construction noise impacts would remain at the following receptors: single - family residences along Wiseburn Avenue south of Area A, the existing LAAFB child development center on Area B, and the existing townhouse residential complex south of the Lawndale Annex. Operational Noise The Draft EIS /EIR also concluded that noise from loading dock activities on Area A as part of the operations of the Commercial Alternative, partially mitigated by the construction of an eight -foot tall block wall along the south boundary of Area A and other mitigation (4.4.4 -4 and 4.4.4 -5) limiting truck idling during loading activities, would remain a significant and unavoidable impact under CEQA. 12 11:7 Cumulative Impacts The Draft EIS /EIR identified several cumulative CEQA impacts, to which the proposed project would contribute. The proposed project, in conjunction with other planned and approved projects, would contribute to a significant unavoidable cumulative traffic and regional solid waste impact. The Draft EIR concluded that the project would contribute to a significant cumulative impact on mobile source air emissions. There are no feasible mitigation measures available to reduce the cumulative, traffic, regional solid waste, or regional air quality impacts. Statement of Overriding Considerations As indicated above, the Draft EIS /EIR identifies significant unavoidable project - related aesthetics, transportation, libraries, parks, short term soils and geology, air quality, short-term construction noise, and operational noise impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level. In such cases, CEQA requires that the project cannot be approved unless special findings of overriding considerations can be made by the City Council. There is no similar requirement under NEPA. CEQA Section 15093(a) states: "CEQA requires the decision making agency to balance, as applicable, the economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks when determining whether to approve the project. If the specific economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of the proposed project outweigh the unavoidable adverse environmental effects, the adverse environmental effects may be considered 'acceptable'." Unless the project is modified by the developer to avoid the significant impacts, a Statement of Overriding Considerations must be adopted by the City Council stating the specific reasons why the project's benefits outweigh its significant environmental impacts. A Statement of Overriding Considerations would indicate that all feasible mitigation measures were incorporated into the project. As an alternative to a Statement of Overriding Considerations, the applicant would have to develop other feasible mitigation measures that could be incorporated into the project as part of the Final Environmental Impact Report and reduce the identified impacts to a level of insignificance. Ix. Application Findings There are no related project applications for which the Planning Commission must take actions. Since the Proposed Action would place Area A in the City of Hawthorne, the Hawthorne City Council would be responsible for adopting findings necessary to approve the entitlements for the new residential development. Hawthorne would also be responsible for processing the entitlement applications for the residential development of the Lawndale Annex. 13 11 ti Only if the Commercial Alternative were pursued as the preferred project, would the City of El Segundo be required to process development entitlements, since Area A would remain in El Segundo under the Commercial Alternative. In order for the Proposed Action to be approved, the City Council must take certain actions related to the proposal. The Planning Commission's responsibility is to make recommendations to the City Council related to CEQA. CEQA Findings 1. The Draft EIS /EIR was completed in compliance with CEQA. (Section 15090) A joint EIS /EIR was prepared for this project pursuant to the requirements of NEPA and CEQA. A Notice of Intent/Notice of Preparation of the Draft EIS /EIR was prepared and circulated for public review from January 3, 2003 to February 3, 2003. The public review and comment period for the Draft EIS /EIR extends from April 11, 2003 to May 27, 2003. A Notice of Completion was filed with the State Clearinghouse on April 10, 2003. 2. The Final EIS /EIR will be presented to the City Council, which will review and consider information contained in the Final EIS /EIR before approving or denying the project (Section 15090). Pursuant to City CEQA Regulations, the Final EIS /EIR will be prepared, distributed, and presented for City Council approval. 3. The record on which the Commission's findings are based is located at the Department of Community, Economic and Development Services, City of El Segundo, 350 Main Street, El Segundo, California 90245. The custodian of the record is the Director of Community, Economic and Development Services. (Section 15091). 4. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed and analyzed the Draft EIS /EIR prepared for the Project. (Section 15090). This Draft EIS /EIR is an accurate and complete statement of the potential environmental impacts of the project. The Draft EIS /EIR reflects the independent judgment of the City. The Final EIS /EIR will be prepared under the direction of the City of El Segundo Department of Community, Economic and Development Services and the Unites States Air Force and will reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the environmental impacts and comments received on the Draft EIS /EIR. 5. The Draft EIS /EIR was made available for public review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by NEPA and CEQA. The Draft EIS /EIR concluded that with mitigation the proposed project would not have a significant, adverse effect on the environment, with the exception of aesthetics, transportation, libraries, parks, short-term soils and geology, air quality impacts, short-term construction noise, and operational noise. 6. That when considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project 14 11 14 will have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the project is in a built -out urban environment. X. Annexation As mentioned earlier, the Proposed Action will include an application by the City of El Segundo to LAFCO for the detachment of Area A from the City of El Segundo and annexation into the City of Hawthorne. In addition to the Air Force property, the annexation would include the Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way on the south side of Area A and the freeway onramp to the San Diego (1 -405) Freeway on the east side of Area A. The public streets and sidewalks from the Area A property line to the street center lines in front of Area A on El Segundo and Aviation Boulevards are also included in the annexation area. The City of El Segundo would continue to maintain the landscaped median island on El Segundo Boulevard City and the City of Hawthorne has agreed to maintain the median island in Aviation Boulevard. Hawthorne would take over the provision of public services such as police, fire, water, and libraries. Children of residents of Area A would attend schools in the Wiseburn School District and Centinela Valley Unified School District. LAFCO will be responsible for processing the reorganization request and is charged with ensuring that Hawthorne has the ability to provide public services to the site. XI. Conclusion XII. Based on the foregoing analysis, staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2540 recommending that the City Council certify the EIS /EIR for the proposed project. XIII.

PO � CHIEF OF POLI DATE: JUNE 12, 2003 SUBJECT: LAAFB PROJECT PLANNING POLICE SERVICES The purpose of this memo is to hopefully have a better understanding of the proposed project(s) and to determine an appropriate amount of public safety services for our new residents. Councilman Parsons has been very helpful in providing the Police Department with current information regarding the size and scope of the residential projects. In essence, they have shrunk since our first review. I understand that the Los Angeles County Fire Department has reserved the option to assess an impact on their services until the project(s) are actually built. If that is true, then the Police Department can live with the same understanding providing there is an acknowledgement that the two residential projects will impact the Police Department in a manner that may require additional resources. As I wrote before, our crime rate is at an all time low, Hawthorne continues to develop and grow. The public's demand for our services will not decrease with the future. xc: Charles Herbertson, City Manager 137 Hr OF to ,, },'III ,.r �nl EXHIBIT 5 DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS AIR FORCE SPACE COMMAND Colonel James S. Brackett HQ AFSPC/CEP 150 Vandenberg St, Suite 1105 Peterson AFB, CO 80914 -4150 Mr. Paul Gary Scnior Planner Community, Economic and Development Services 350 Main Street El Segundo, CA 90245 Dear Mr. Gary 27 May 2003 Thank you for passing on the concerns about the SAMS alternatives bring analyzed in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Air Force will not make a final decision on alternatives until the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process is complete. However, to address the concerns raised, I would like to provide sonic clarifying information in regards to the alternatives analyzed in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Los Angela Air Force Base (LA AFB) Modernization, specifically the no-action and the Military Construction (MMCON) alternatives. The no -action alternative is analyzed because it is required by law. The intent of the no-action alternative is to establish a base line to compare the proposed action and/or other alternatives. The Air Force is not required to select the no -action alternative and in the case of LA AFB, the no -action alterative does not seem to be a viable option. This is because the facilities at LA AFB do not meet current seismic or life- safety codes and the Air Force believes it is unacceptable to leave its people in deficient facilities. We evaluated the cost of renovating our existing facilities and found it significantly more costly than relocating the work force to new facilities. Not only is the renovation alternative the least cost effective, it exceeds a congressional threshold that precludes the Services from executing renovations that exceed 70 percent of the facility replacement costs. Even if the Air Force were to receive a waiver to the threshold limit from the Congress, the magnitude of the renovation costs make it impractical to use limited operations and maintenance (O&M) funds; forcing the Air Force to look to the MILCON appropriation for funding. The entire Space Command MILCON program for 9 major installations and 87 geographically separated sites worldwide averages only S58M per year (FY99 -03). The costs to renovate the existing facilities are estimated to be $134M and the MILCON replacement alternative is estimated at $122M. Currently there is no MMCON funding available for the SAMS program nor is it reasonable to expect there will be. In fact, it was the shortage of funds, both O &M and MILCON, which first prompted the Air Force to pursue the unique concept of exchanging land for new facilities at LA AFB. For these reasons, the SAMS project is our preferred alternative in the EIS. Sincerely JAMES S.

Economic impact on communities. 2. Ability of both the existing and potential receiving communities' infrastructure to support forces, missions, and personnel. 3. Environmental impact. Source: DOD Office of Economic Adjustment The FY 2002 defense authorization act provides additional guidance to DOD for developing the criteria for the 2005 round. (In some cases, the guidelines are the same as the criteria used in past rounds.): Military Value as Primary Consideration The selection criteria shall ensure that military value is the primary consideration in the making of recommendations for the closure or realignment of military installations in 2005. Military value shall include at a minimum the following: 1. Preservation of training areas suitable for maneuver by ground, naval, or air forces to guarantee future availability of such areas to ensure the readiness of the Armed Forces. 2. Preservation of military installations in the United States as staging areas for the use of the Armed Forces in homeland defense missions. 3. Preservation of military installations throughout a diversity of climate and terrain in the United States for training purposes. 4. The impact on joint warfighting, training, and readiness. S.

"I hope we'll rise to the occasion," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) after describing Rumsfeld's challenge to the four senators at a Jan. 16 breakfast meeting to support base closings. "Politically that would be difficult, but he has indicated to us that they have a lot of assets under their control they have to manage and pay for that are probably not as productive as they should be," he added. The four senators - Graham along with John Ensign (Nev.), Elizabeth Dole (N.C.) and Saxby Chambliss (Ga.) - spoke at a press conference at the Pentagon following the meeting with Rumsfeld and other senior DOD officials. Graham, Dole and Chambliss are first -term senators elected last November. Graham and Chambliss previously served on the House Armed Services Committee. Ensign echoed Graham's comments: "But I think we, as senators, have to look - and we just can't be worried about protecting jobs when it costs the entire country a lot more money. I mean, there's about 20 percent of the bases, probably, domestically, that need to be closed. That's going to cause a lot of political heartburn." The Pentagon will consider closing overseas bases as well as domestic ones, he added. "I think if we're going to do a good'job for the future of taxpayers and manage the war well, we're going to have to listen to change," Graham stated. In addition to the four senators who met with Rumsfeld, two other newly elected, Republican senators have been added to the Armed Services Committee: Jim Talent (Mo.) and John Cornyn (Texas). Gone on the Republican side are Strom Thurmond (S.C.), who retired; Rick Santorum (Pa.), who changed committee assignments; and Tim Hutchinson (Ark.) and Bob Smith (N.H), both of whom lost their re- election bids. New Democrats on the committee are: Hillary Clinton (N.Y.), Evan ,I 1 R�. http:/ /www.naid.org /reSOurCe_top.html 6/5/03 1 Economic Vftaiiry, Trade & lobs 444 S.

SCHAFFER HAEFER From: Daniel L. Wiles, Vice President and General Counsel SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OFFICE Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates 2100 MAIN STREET SUITE 210 Re: LAAFB Development — Status of Public Finance Elements IRVINE, CA 92614 -6266 Date: June 13, 2003 949.660.8500 FAX 949.474.8773 The Project NORTHERN CALIFORNIA OFFICE A development team, led by Kearny Real Estate and including Catellus 925.933.6096 Development and Morgan Stanley (the "Developer"), has been refining a FAX 925.933.6098 development plan based on the development of residential units on two major parcels, known as Area A and Area C. Area A is the current site of the Space and Missile Systems Command, and is commonly known as the location of CHARTER MEMBER the Los Angeles Air Force Base ("LAAFB'). The development plan NATIONAL ASSOCIATION contemplates that the Developer will construct a new set of facilities for OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC LAAFB on property currently owned by the Air Force and known as Area B. FINANCE ADVISORS Areas A and B are currently located in the City of El Segundo; Area C is currently located in the City of Hawthorne. An additional involved property owned by the Air Force, known as the Sun Valley property, is also located in the region. In return for the construction of the new LAAFB facilities on Area B, the Developer will be given title to Areas A and C and the Sun Valley property. In response to initial neighborhood reaction, the Developer has formulated Plans to provide residential units on Areas A and C. The expectation is that the development and sale of the residential units will be the primary (but not exclusive) source of funds for the construction of the new LAAFB facilities and provide the Developer a margin of profit. The Sun Valley property is expected to be sold to profit the Developer. The "Gap" The Developer obtained the rights to construct the new LAAFB and redevelop Areas A and C and the Sun Valley property through a competitive process. In its original Proposal to the US Air Force, the Developer proposed a construction cost of the new LAAFB of $115 million (on Area B) with the bid including transfer of the real estate and the payment by the Air Force of an amount equal to $11 million (or a reduction of the new base construction by an equal amount). This $11 million figure has been designated the "gap." X45 Public Funding Shortfall As the project has been further refined, it has become clear that the values of the property as developed likely would fall short of providing sufficient funds to pay for the costs of necessary improvements to allow development and Developer's profit. The Developer team has assumed that public financing in various forms would be employed to mitigate most, if not all, of the shortfall. The City of Hawthorne, as the municipality in which the actual residential development would occur, has taken the lead in defining the quantity of public funding required and the primary methods of providing that funding. The Cities of El Segundo and Hawthorne have agreed that the economic consultant for the City of Hawthorne, Keyser Marston Associates, would take the primary responsibility for the development of financing scenarios and the verification of proposals made by the development team. As financial advisor to the City of El Segundo, Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates has filled a role of reviewing and verifying the assumptions and calculations contained in the reports of Keyser Marston. We can report that as such reports have been made to date, we have conducted such review and verification and, given the assumptions in their reports, have concurred in their overall methodology and conclusions. Areas of Public Funding Shortfall. The amount of public financing required to provide sufficient project costs and Developer's profit has been designated the `public funding shortfall." The public funding shortfall is estimated to have three components: 1. Infrastructure costs 2. Required low and moderate income housing 3. Impacts to the General Fund of Hawthorne The precise definition of the public funding shortfall has been the subject of initial analysis by Keyser Marston and refinement by Saybrook Capital, as financial advisor to the Developer. The figures are only estimated to date and change as the project changes. Based on the original projected density for Area A, 850 residential units, the shortfall with regard to infrastructure costs was estimated to be approximately $24 million plus the cost of development fees payable to the City of Hawthorne (as they may be required). At the estimated densities in Areas A and C, it is estimated that the inclusionary housing for low and moderate income residents required to be developed under California law is approximately 150 units. Keyser Marston has estimated that a project in the City of Hawthorne providing that number of low and moderate income units would have costs exceeding the value of the project of approximately $5 million plus the cost of acquiring the land for the project. Finally, as discussed below, it has been contemplated that the property tax increment to be generated in Areas A and C would be applied to the payment of tax allocation financing. The development would impact municipal services, such as police and fire, for the residents of Areas A and C and would place some burden on the General Fund of the City of Hawthorne. The City has taken the position that those costs need to be funded 2 x46 in some manner such that the General Fund has no negative impact from the development. In sum, the public funding shortfall is estimated at: $24 million (plus City fees of up to $4 million) $5 million (plus the cost of land for housing project) $_ (costs of General Fund impacts) Public Finance Techniques. The development team originally anticipated that the entire amount of the required public financing for the project would be provided through tax increment generated from a redevelopment project and financed through the issuance of tax allocation bonds. However, the initial estimates by Keyser Marston indicate clearly that the projected amount of tax increment supporting the total amount of tax allocation bonds that could be sold would not be sufficient to fund the entire shortfall. Moreover, tax allocation bonds realistically can not be issued until the project (or a major discrete component of the project) has been constructed and is generating increased property taxes. The Keyser Marston analysis indicates that the flows of tax increment resulting from the project will not support the type of delay required if all project costs were financed through the issuance of tax allocation bonds. The development team has recognized the need for the use of Mello Roos (Community Facilities District) special tax financing in the overall finance plan. The use of Mello Roos financing allows for the earlier issuance of debt, but has restricted uses of bond proceeds. Mello Roos financing is a supplement to, but not a replacement of the primary tax allocation bond financings of the improvements. Allocation of Risk. It is important to note that the City of Hawthorne and the analysis conducted by Keyser Marston are based on the position that the public financings must be completely supported by the project and its related revenues. The City of Hawthorne will not put itself at any financial risk and is taking an active negotiating position to isolate the debt for the project from other tax allocation debt issued for the project area within the City. The financial risk of the project is being placed squarely on the Development. We concur in the propriety of that strategy and advise the City of El Segundo to similar posture to the extent possible. adopt a From this perspective, the role of the financial review conducted by Keyser Marston is to allow for a superficial consideration of the sufficiency of public funding to meet the shortfall, mindful that the actual risk of the shortfall rests with the Developer, not the City. Changes to the Project As previously noted, the original Keyser Marston analysis was based on a development of Area A that included 850 residential units. Neighborhood opposition prior to the June 4 Hawthorne planning commission meeting induced the Developer to reduce the number y rvt Y � t to 750 residential units. We are not aware of any renewed calculations as to the public funding shortfall at that level of development or the plan of finance for individual financings. At the June 4 meeting, the Planning Commission did not approve the plan of the Developer, requesting a yet lower density of development. At present, we are unaware of any concrete plans in response to the Planning Commission's request. We are similarly unaware of any financial estimates related to any such changes. 4 .148 EXHIBIT 10 MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, CALIFORNIA MAY 22, 2003 Chairman Mahler called the meeting of the El Segundo Planning CALL TO ORDER Commission to order at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber of the City of El Segundo City Hall, 350 Main Street, El Segundo, California.

With the introduction of HR -1638 and the willingness of the Air Force to fix its facilities, Ms. Garnholz questioned the need for El Segundo to give away $50 million of its land. She addressed her concern that because Redevelopment Agency funds would be utilized for this project, a low- income housing component would be mandatory for this development. Ms. Garnholtz expressed her opposition to the public funding this development in any manner; and she questioned what guarantees are in place if the Air Force Base leaves El Segundo, asking if the City would get its land back from Hawthorne. She noted her opposition to the lack of public hearings relating to this project.

The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows SECTION 1: The Planning Commission finds and declares that: A. On May 3, 2002, the City of El Segundo initiated an application for Environmental Assessment No. 577, to develop a 39.24 -acre property at the southeast corner of El Segundo and Aviation Boulevard (2400 -2460 East El Segundo Boulevard) as part of a larger project for the redevelopment of the Los Angeles Air Force Base (LAAFB). B.

C. In or about January, 2003, the City of El Segundo and the United States Air Force agreed to prepare a Joint Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report for the whole of the Los Angeles Air Force Base (LAAFB) Land Conveyance, Construction and Development Plan involving four properties known as Area A, Area B, the Lawndale Annex, and the Sun Valley property ( "the EIS /EIR "). D. The City prepared the EIS /EIR in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations § §15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted March 16, 1993). E. On May 22, 2003, the Planning Commission held a duly advertised public hearing in the Council Chamber of the El Segundo City Hall, 350 Main Street to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the Draft EIS /EIR including, without limitation, information provided to the Commission by the City of El Segundo, the United States Air Force, Kearny /Catellus /MSREF and members of the public. F. The Planning Commission considered the information provided by, without limitation, City staff, public testimony, the United States Air Force, and Kearny /Catellus /MSREF. This Resolution, and its findings, were made based upon the evidence presented to the Commission at its May 22, 2003 hearing including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Department of Community, Economic and Development Services. SECTION 2: Factual Findings. The Planning Commission finds that the following facts exist: A. Area A of the LAAFB, the Union Pacific Railroad right -of -way to the south of Area A, and the Caltrans 1 -405 Freeway onramp at El Segundo Boulevard together with portions of RESOLUTION NO. 2540 APPROVING 2 022 AGE NOM 157 the public right -of -way in El Segundo and Aviation Boulevards are proposed to be detached from the City of El Segundo and annexed into the City of Hawthorne. B. The City Council has agreed to allow Hawthorne to study the inclusion of Areas A and B of the LAAFB in the Hawthorne Redevelopment Area No. 2 as a mechanism to facilitate the financing of the new Air Force facilities on Area B. A final decision by Hawthorne to amend Area No. 2 to include Areas A and B is subject to approval by ordinance of the City Council. C. Area A is an approximately 39.24 -acre, triangular- shaped site located at the eastern edge of the City of El Segundo, and is bounded by El Segundo Boulevard to the north, Union Pacific railroad tracks to the south, the San Diego Freeway (1 -405) to the east, and Aviation Boulevard to the west. Area A is currently occupied with six two -story and one six -story office buildings totaling approximately 835,000 square feet. These seven buildings are identified as Building Nos. 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, 125, and 130, which house engineering, research and administrative offices, and a laboratory. D. Area B is approximately 54 acres and is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of El Segundo Boulevard and Douglas Street, in the City of El Segundo. Area B is located directly northwest of Area A and is bounded by El Segundo Boulevard to the south, Aviation Boulevard to the east, Douglas Street to the west, and the Northrop Grumman Corporation to the north. Area B presently contains support facilities for Air Force personnel assigned to the Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) and the 61st Air Base Group (ABG), including a child development center, commissary, base exchange /gas station, a fitness center, and a medical /dental clinic. E. The Lawndale Annex site is approximately 13 acres and is located in the southwest Portion of the City of Hawthorne on the east side of Aviation Boulevard between Rosecrans Avenue and Marine Avenue. The Lawndale Annex is already included within the City of Hawthorne's Redevelopment Area No. 2. The Lawndale Annex is currently occupied by a paved parking lot used for long -term vehicle parking and recreational vehicle storage, a 30,000 square foot, small metal frame commercial building (Building 80), staff parking area for personnel in Building 80, and recreational facilities, including a football /softball field, running track, and picnic/recreation pavilion and a family camping area commonly referred to as FamCamp. F. The Sun Valley property is approximately 3.7 acres and is located at 10888 W. La Tuna Canyon Road in the Sun Valley community of the City of Los Angeles. The Golden State Freeway (1 -5), the Hollywood Freeway (SR 170), and the Foothill Freeway (1 -210) provide regional access to the site. The Sun Valley property is currently developed with an approximately 59,600 square foot industrial building, which is currently vacant. G. The four properties are currently owned by the United States Air Force. As such, the City does not have jurisdiction over the land use of the property. Once Area A, the Lawndale Annex, and the Sun Valley property are transferred to the developer, the future private development of the properties will be subject to the land use regulations of the City in which they are located. H. Under the Proposed Action, the development on Area A would consist of an "upscale" gated residential condominium development, with a density up to 22 units per acre for a maximum of 850 units. The residential condominium development would include RESOLUTION NO. 2540 158 APPROVING EA -577 5/12/02 PAGE NO. 2 townhouse style units with a mix of two- to three -story buildings, above at -grade parking (which will result in the building being three- to four - stories in height), along the southern property line (adjacent to the railroad right -of -way) rising incrementally to a maximum height of six stories, including at -grade parking, along El Segundo Boulevard. The southerly property line, adjacent to the railroad right -of -way, will be treated with a block wall and canopy of mature trees (the screening will address the privacy of the single - family residential neighborhood located south of the railroad tracks). The project would be developed with on -site resident and guest parking facilities, private open spaces and recreational areas, and access improvements. Primary access to the project site will be provided from El Segundo Boulevard and secondary access will be provided from Aviation Boulevard. The units will be for sale, and may include a combination of detached units and townhouse style units as well as condominium units, and may include subterranean and /or structured parking. Some units may also be used for senior housing or housing for the military. I. The Proposed Action on Area B consists of the enhancement of the existing 54 -acre site, which would remain under Federal jurisdiction. Under the proposed Systems Acquisition and Management Support (SAMS) agreements, new facilities would be op constructed by the developer in Area B to house current base functions that would be transferred from Area A. As currently envisioned, the proposed additional develment on the Area B property would include the demolition of some existing structures and construction of approximately 560,000 square feet of new administrative and special purpose facilities, including a new child development center, in buildings up to five stories in height. J. Under the Proposed Action, development on the Lawndale Annex consists of the removal of existing improvements on the site and the development of a maximum of 300 residential units, with associated parking, landscaping and access improvements. The site development may include subterranean and /or structured parking. Access to the project site would be provided from Aviation Boulevard. The units would be for sale, and may include a combination of condominium and townhouse style units with a maximum height of four stories. K. The Sun Valley site is presently developed with an approximately 59,600 square foot industrial building, which is currently vacant. While the property will be conveyed to the Private developer as part of this project, no demolition or construction activities are anticipated to occur on this site in the reasonably foreseeable future. L. The Draft EIS /EIR studies the potential impacts of the Proposed Action and several project alternatives. One alternative would replace the 850 -unit residential development on Area A with a 750,000 square foot commercial shopping center. There would be no hotels included in this alternative and Area A would not be annexed into the City of Hawthorne or included in Hawthorne's Redevelopment Agency. The other alternatives studied in the Draft EIS /EIR include a No Action Alternative, Renovation Alternative, and Reduced Density Residential Alternative. Under the No Action Alternative, the existing LAAFB facilities would remain on each of the four project sites. The Renovation Alternative includes the seismic and building upgrades of the existing Air Force buildings on Area B through traditional military funding sources. Under this alternative, the existing facilities on Area B, the Lawndale Annex and the Sun Valley site would remain as is. The Reduced Density Residential Alternative includes the same uses as the Proposed Action 1510) RESOLUTION NO. 2540 APPROVING EA -577 5/12/02 PAGEN0.3 with a 30% reduction in the maximum number of residential units on Area A (680) and the Lawndale Annex (230). M. Based on public comments in response to the NOI/NOP and a review of environmental issues by staff, it was determined that the Draft EIS /EIR would analyze the following environmental impact areas: community setting, land use and aesthetics, transportation, public utilities, public services, hazardous materials management, soil and geology, water resources, air quality, noise, and cultural resources. The Draft EIS /EIR also includes a discussion of environmental justice and protection of children as required by NEPA. N. For the purposes of CEQA, the Draft EIS /EIR concluded that all potentially significant direct project - related impacts identified in the Draft EIS /EIR, with the exception of aesthetics, transportation, libraries, parks, short-term soils and geology, air quality impacts, short-term construction noise, and operational noise are at a less than significant level due to the application of relevant G*policies and regulations and the imposition of project- specific mitigation measures. O. The Proposed Action, Commercial Alternative, and Reduced Density Residential Alternative would result in significant CEQA unavoidable aesthetic and view impacts. The views from the residential areas to the south of Area A would be impacted by the perceived loss of privacy due to the proximity and height of the residential development (up to 50 feet) and the 65 -foot height of the proposed retail buildings under the Commercial Alternative. There are no feasible mitigation measures available to address these impacts that would be consistent with the project objectives. This impact is not considered significant under NEPA. P. The Draft EIS /EIR identified significant and unavoidable CEQA impacts related to traffic for the Proposed Action, Commercial Alternative and Reduced Density Residential Alternative. The Proposed Action and Reduced Density Residential Alternative would result in an unmitigatable traffic impact at the intersection of El Segundo and Aviation Boulevard during the p.m. peak hour. Mitigation Measure 4.3.3 -1, to add a northbound right turn lane at the intersection, would help reduce the potential impact, but would not reduce the impact below the City's significance threshold. The Commercial Alternative would have significant and unavoidable impacts at 10 intersections and one freeway location (southbound 1-405, south of 1 -105). Feasible mitigation is available to help reduce impacts at three of those intersections: Aviation Blvd./El Segundo Blvd., El Segundo Blvd. /Isis Ave., and Aviation Blvd. /Marine Ave. The Draft EIS /EIR concludes that the mitigation at El Segundo Blvd. /Isis Ave. would reduce the impact to less than significant, but the other two mitigation measures would not reduce the impacts below the significance thresholds. As a result, nine intersections and one freeway location would remain with significant and unavoidable CEQA impacts. Mitigation would apply under NEPA for indirect impacts of the Commercial Alternative. However, since implementation of the mitigation measures requires the approval of multiple jurisdictions, they will not be included in the Air Force's record of decision as enforceable conditions by the Air Force. Q. The Draft EIS /EIR analysis of the impact of the project on libraries concluded that there would be a significant and unavoidable CEQA impact on the Los Angeles County Library system related to the Proposed Action, Commercial Alternative, and Reduced Density Residential Alternative. This impact is the result of the additional residential population that would be added on Area A and the Lawndale Annex through the residential 460 RESOLUTION NO. 2540 APPROVING EA -577 5/12/02 PAGE NO.4 development of those sites. The Wiseburn Library, which is the closest library to Area A and the Lawndale annex, would not be able to adequately serve each of these alternatives. There is no feasible mitigation to reduce this impact. There are no library impact fees required in incorporated areas of Los Angeles County. Any requirement to pay impact fees would be infeasible because it would make the project financially unreasonable due to the large funding gap already. Consequently, the CEQA impact would remain significant and unavoidable. There would be no impact on the El Segundo Library from any of the project alternatives and there would be no impact under NEPA. R. The impact on the existing neighborhood and regional parks (increased use with the potential to accelerate the physical deterioration of the facilities) associated with the Proposed Action (2,530 new residents), Commercial Alternative (1,274 new residents), and the Reduced Density Residential Alternative (2,009 new residents) was found to be a significant and unavoidable impact in the Draft EIS /EIR. As with libraries, the impact is related to the increase in population associated with residential development on Area A and the Lawndale annex. No developer fees in Hawthorne have been established to mitigate impacts on parks. Any requirement to pay impact fees would be infeasible because it would make the project financially unreasonable due to the large funding gap already. Consequently, the CEQA impact would remain significant and unavoidable. There would be no impact on parks in El Segundo and no impact under NEPA. S. Under both NEPA and CEQA, the Draft EIS /EIR concluded that there would be a short- term significant unavoidable impact on seismicity for the No Action and Renovation Alternative for the existing buildings on Area A. In both these alternatives, the existing buildings, which do not meet current seismic safety standards, would remain. This could result in a greater potential for building damage in an earthquake than buildings that would meet current seismic standards. Under both alternatives, the existing buildings would be renovated or replaced over time, ultimately correcting the potential impact. It is not known when renovation or replacement might occur. As a result, the seismic impact is considered short-term. There is no feasible mitigation until the buildings are renovated or replaced. T. According to the Draft EIS /EIR, the Proposed Action, Commercial Alternative, and Reduced Density Residential Alternative would have negative air quality impacts associated with project related mobile source emissions under CEQA. When comparing the proposed emissions from mobile sources with the South Coast Air Quality Management's (SCAQMD) significance thresholds for criteria pollutants, the draft EIS /EIR concluded that the project would exceed the thresholds for Carbon Monoxide (CO2) Reactive Organic Compounds (ROC) and Nitrous Oxides (NO.) at buildout in 2008. Because the degree of "excess" emissions substantially exceeds the strict SCAQMD limits, the Draft EIS /EIR concluded that there was little potential for any mitigation measures to reduce the project's mobile emissions. As a result, the project's impacts will remain significant and unavoidable. U. The Draft EIS /EIR found that the Commercial Alternative would exceed the State's eight - hour CO concentration "hotspot" standard at three intersections (El Segundo Blvd. /Isis Ave., El Segundo Blvd. /Hawthorne Blvd., and Marine Ave. /Hawthorne Blvd.). These CO " hotspot" impacts are related to vehicle trips associated with the Commercial Alternative. This is considered a significant unavoidable impact under CEQA and NEPA. 161 RESOLUTION NO. 2540 APPROVING EA -577 5/12/02 PAGE NO. 5 V. The Draft EIS /EIR concluded that construction noise associated with the Proposed Action, Commercial Alternative and Reduced Density Residential Alternative under NEPA and CEQA would be a short-term significant impact at three identified sensitive receptors. With all feasible mitigation measures implemented as identified in the Draft EIS /EIR, significant short-term construction noise impacts would remain at the following receptors: single - family residences along Wiseburn Avenue south of Area A, the existing LAAFB child development center on Area B, and the existing townhouse residential complex south of the Lawndale Annex. W. The Draft EIS /EIR also concluded that noise from loading dock activities on Area A as part of the operations of the Commercial Alternative, partially mitigated by the construction of an eight -foot tall block wall along the south boundary of Area A and other mitigation (4.4.4 -4 and 4.4.4 -5) limiting truck idling during loading activities, would remain a significant and unavoidable impact under CEQA. X. The Draft EIS /EIR identified several cumulative CEQA impacts, to which the proposed project would contribute. The proposed project, in conjunction with other planned and approved projects, would contribute to a significant unavoidable cumulative traffic and regional solid waste impact. The Draft EIR concluded that the project would contribute to a significant cumulative impact on mobile source air emissions. There are no feasible mitigation measures available to reduce the cumulative traffic, regional solid waste, or regional air quality impacts. SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The Planning Commission makes the following environmental findings: A. The Draft EIS /EIR was completed in compliance with CEQA. (Section 15090) A joint EIS /EIR was prepared for this project pursuant to the requirements of NEPA and CEQA. A Notice of Intent/Notice of Preparation of the Draft EIS /EIR was prepared and circulated for public review from January 3, 2003 to February 3, 2003. The public review and comment period for the Draft EIS /EIR extends from April 11, 2003 to May 27, 2003. A Notice of Completion was filed with the State Clearinghouse on April 10, 2003. B. The Final EIS /EIR will be presented to the City Council, which will review and consider information contained in the Final EIS /EIR before approving or denying the project (Section 15090). Pursuant to City CEQA Regulations, the Final EIS /EIR will be prepared, distributed, and presented for City Council approval. C. The record on which the Commission's findings are based is located at the Department of Community, Economic and Development Services, City of El Segundo, 350 Main Street, El Segundo, California 90245. The custodian of the record is the Director of Community, Economic and Development Services. (Section 15091). D. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed and analyzed the Draft EIS /EIR prepared for the Project. (Section 15090). This Draft EIS /EIR is an accurate and complete statement of the potential environmental impacts of the project. The Draft EIS /EIR reflects the independent judgment of the City. The Final EIS /EIR will be prepared under the direction of the City of El Segundo Department of Community, Economic and Development Services and the Unites States Air Force and will reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the environmental impacts and comments received on the Draft EIS /EIR. 162 RESOLUTION NO. 2540 APPROVING EA -577 5/12/02 PAGE NO. 6 E. The Draft EIS /EIR was made available for public review and comment in the time and manner prescribed by NEPA and CEQA. The Draft EIS /EIR concluded that with mitigation, the proposed project would not have a significant adverse effect on the environment, with the exception of aesthetics, transportation, libraries, parks, short-term soils and geology, air quality impacts, short-term construction noise, and operational noise. F. That when considering the whole record, there is no evidence that the project will have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat on which the wildlife depends, because the project is in a built -out urban environment. G. Because of the facts identified in this Resolution, the Draft EIS /EIR showed that a Statement of Overriding Considerations would be required in order for the project to be approved. H. The Draft EIS /EIR generally identifies, for each potentially significant impact of the project, one or more corresponding mitigation measures to reduce such impact to a level of insignificance, with the exception of aesthetics, transportation, libraries, parks, short- term soils and geology, air quality impacts, short-term construction noise, and operational noise. The Planning Commission finds that many of the mitigation measures described in the Draft EIS /EIR may lessen or avoid impacts in impact categories other than the category(ies) for which they are specifically proposed. In light of the above, the Planning Commission finds that each potentially significant impact identified by the Draft EIS /EIR is mitigated by its corresponding mitigation measures to the extent set forth in the Draft EIS /EIR ( "specific mitigation ") and by other, non - corresponding, mitigation measures recommended by the Planning Commission that were already incorporated into the project ( "general mitigation "). These findings will be applicable wherever supported by the evidence in the record regardless of whether a specific finding of an instance of such general mitigation is made. These findings are based on the various mitigation measures to be required in the implementation of the project as recommended by the Draft EIS /EIR or identified by the Draft EIS /EIR as already having been incorporated into the Project. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council hereby adopts and incorporates into the implementation of the project those mitigation measures recommended in the Draft EIS /EIR. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find that all the mitigation measures now incorporated into the project are desirable and feasible. Certain mitigation measures, such as those involving traffic, air quality, sewer, and storm water discharge, are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies such as the California Department of Transportation ( "Caltrans ") and the Los Angeles County Sanitation District, and therefore will require additional approvals from those agencies. J. The cumulative impact analysis contained in the Draft EIS /EIR represents a conservative "worst case" analysis in that it considers the potential cumulative impacts of a number of projects, which may be built at a lesser density, or not built at all. Furthermore, the traffic analysis in the Draft EIS /EIR assumed that none of the related projects would be required to implement any traffic mitigation measures. It is reasonably foreseeable that such mitigation measures will be implemented, and have future traffic conditions that will be better than projected. In addition, the traffic analysis in the Draft EIS /EIR factors in ti RESOLUTION NO. 2540 APPROVING EA -577 5112/02 PAGE NO,7 ambient traffic growth of one -half percent per year. This growth factor was intended in part to cover possible future projects, which were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the Draft EIS /EIR was prepared. K. The EIS /EIR evaluates the Project's potential for adverse environmental impacts. When considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence before the Planning Commission that the project will have a potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources of the habitat upon which wildlife depends. Based on the Draft EIS /EIR, the presumption of adverse effect set forth in 14 California Code of Regulations, Section 753.5(d), does not apply in this case. Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find that the Project would be de minimis in its effect on fish and wildlife. The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council authorize and direct the Director of Community, Economic and Development Services to file with the appropriate agencies a Certificate of Fee Exemption and De Minimis finding in accordance with Pub. Res. Code §§ 21152, 21167(0; 14 CCR § 15094; and any other applicable law. SECTION 4: General Plan. The proposed project conforms with the City's General Plan as follows: A. The development of Area B would be consistent with the Federal Government land use designation in the El Segundo General Plan. SECTION 5: Recommendations. The Planning Commission makes the following recommendations: A. The City Council should certify the EIS /EIR for Environmental Assessment No. 577. SECTION 6: The Planning Commission Secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to SAMS Venture, LLC and to any other person requesting a copy. SECTION 7: This Resolution is the Planning Commission's final decision and will become effective immediately upon adoption. PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 22nd day of May 2003. James M.

BACKGROUND The Los Angeles Air Force Base ( LAAFB, the "Air Force Base ", or the 'Base ") consists of seven sites, two within the City of El Segundo (referred to as Area A and Area B), one within the City of Hawthorne (referred to as the Lawndale Annex or Area C), one within the unincorporated community of Sun Valley within Los Angeles (referred to as the Sun Valley property), and three within the San Pedro community of Los Angeles (Fort MacArthur Middle Reservation, Pacific Crest Housing Area, and Pacific Heights Housing Area). The Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) is the primary tenant command at LAAFB. As discussed in more detail below, the proposed Amendment incorporates Areas A and B. Area C is within the Existing Project Area and improvements proposed for Area C will be implemented by the provisions of the Existing Plan. The sale of the Sun Valley property will help to finance the proposed development project on Areas A, B and C, but otherwise is not a part of the proposed Amendment. The three properties in San Pedro are not included within or affected by the proposed Amendment. In 1996, a Facilities Assessment Report was prepared for LAAFB for buildings within Area A, Area B and Area C. The Report concluded that the facilities do not meet seismic safety standards and recommended either replacement or extensive renovation. Retroffing aging structures to meet current standards is expected to be expensive and protracted. Therefore, the Air Force favors an approach that will utilize the value of its existing assets to accomplish the action in a more timely and cost - effective manner. The Air Force proposes to consolidate all LAAFB services within Area B, freeing up Area A, Area C and the Sun Valley property to be transferred to a developer for private development. In exchange, the developer would add new administrative and special purpose facilities and demolish substandard facilities within Area B, reconfiguring the area to meet LAAFB mission requirements.' This process will be undertaken as part of the Systems Acquisition and Management Support (SAMS) complex initiative, which as described above, involves the conveyance of a large portion of the LAAFS's property to a selected private sector developer in exchange for the development of certain office facilities on Area B. Other current and future development projects are proposed for Area B a part of military construction (MILCON) projects and will be completed as funding is availa s ble. Preliminary Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Draft Environmental Report (EIS /EIR), Los Angeles Air Force Base Land Conveyance, Construction and Development Project, February 2003. Report to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 3 PA0306013.HA W:CK:gbd 14005.003,007/07 /10/03 B. PROPOSED PROJECT The proposed Added Area includes "Area A ", "Area B" and the adjacent public right -of -way. In total, the Added Area consists of approximately 111 acres. Area C is within the Existing Project Area. The boundaries of the proposed Added Area are shown in Figure 1. Area B is generally bounded by 123rd Street in the north, Aviation Boulevard in the east, El Segundo Boulevard in the south and Douglas Street in the west. Area A is triangular in shape and intersects at the northwest corner of Area B. Area A is bounded by El Segundo Boulevard in the north, the off -ramp from the 405 Freeway in the east, the Southern Pacific Railroad on the south and Aviation Boulevard on the west. As described above, the Added Area is owned by the Federal govemment, occupied by the Los Angeles Air Force Base, and is currently developed with related office and research facilities. The Air Force is proposing to consolidate its facilities on Area A and Area C to Area B. The proposed action would involve the construction of approximately 560,000 square feet of new administrative and special use facilities for the Air Force on Area B. Area A is proposed for redevelopment with up to 750 detached and attached townhomes, condominiums and single - family residential units. Area C is proposed to be developed with 279 townhome and condominium residential units. Existing residential uses within the City of El Segundo are limited to a single area that is not adjacent to Area A. However, residential uses within the City of Hawthorne are adjacent to Area A. Rather than have non - contiguous residential areas, the City of El Segundo, in agreement with the City of Hawthorne, is proposing to annex Area A to the City of Hawthorne. Although Area B is proposed for inclusion within the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2, it is not proposed to be annexed to the City of Hawthorne. Area B will continue to be within the City of El Segundo. All of the facilities in the Area A were determined to be seismically unstable. Also, the small office building floorplates and the subdivision of the space into individual offices does not efficiently meet the space needs of the Air Force. In addition, the location of the buildings in relationship to the street and parking lots does not meet current anti - terrorism standards. In Area B, 10 of the 16 buildings are seismically deficient as identified in the Rapid Seismic Evaluation report prepared by the US Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, two more buildings were also identified by Base staff as having seismic deficiencies .2 Also, many of the buildings within Area B were designed for manufacturing purposes such as the airplane hangars, or for unique military uses including a maintenance facility or paint shop, which are no longer Air Force activities at Area B. These buildings do not function well for the current office use. As with Area A, the location of some of the buildings and surface parking lots do not meet the Air Force's anti - terrorism's force protection requirements. Due to the high cost to retrofit the buildings, the physical limitations of the buildings to meet the Air Force's needs and security 2 Conversations with Base staff, LAAFB Redevelopment Office, 2003.

A possible alternative to consolidation of facilities on Area B, is to relocate the facilities out of the State. In an effort to preserve the Air Force Base and the many jobs it provides, the City of Hawthorne, in cooperation with the City of El Segundo, is considering amending the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 to include Area A and Area B. The inclusion of Area B in the Added Area is necessary not only to alleviate certain blighting conditions but to provide a relocation site for the facilities and activities currently located in Area A and Area C. Redevelopment will provide financial assistance to fund the shortfall between the cost of constructing new facilities for the Air Force and redeveloping Area A and Area C for residential use. rteport to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HA W;CK:pbd 14005.003.007/07 /10,93 tes,Inc. Page 6 III. EXISTING PHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS A. BACKGROUND AND ISSUES The Added Area contains a total of 32 buildings, of which, seven (7) buildings are located in Area A and 25 buildings are located in Area B.3 Of the 32 buildings, all but four buildings are proposed to be demolished for the redevelopment of the Added Area. The four buildings that will remain are located within Area B and consist of the Commissary, Medical /Dental Clinic, Physical Fitness Center, and a guard gate booth located along Aviation Boulevard. These buildings were either recently constructed or are in good condition with no notable blighting conditions. The following is a description of the remaining 2&buildi ith by area and type: Area A Area A buildings consist of six office structures and one warehouse structure. All seven buildings are seismically unsound. The six office buildings have small floor plates (approximately 20,000 square feet) and are subdivided into individual offices. The floor plate size limitation and individual office configuration is inefficient for the Air Force use which requires large open floor plates. None of these buildings have HVAC systems and all contain asbestos and lead -based paint. Also one of the structures is located too close to the street to meet current force protection (security) guidelines. In addition, approximately 30 percent of the parking spaces are too close to the buildings to meet force protection guidelines; therefore, these parking spaces are no longer utilized. Area B While Area A consists primarily of office uses, Area B consists of more diverse uses associated with a military base. As stated above, four of the buildings in Area B will remain with the remaining 21 buildings proposed for demolition. The following describes the 21 buildings Proposed for demolition: • As stated above, the recently constructed Medical /Dental Clinic will remain as part of the long -term reuse of the military base. Three buildings formerly housed the medical /dental clinic and are proposed for demolition. Two of the buildings were built in 1959, originally to house the engineering test lab and tool compressor operations. The other building was built in 1994 and had been the location of the pharmacy. One of the buildings is seismically deficient while another building does not meet the force protection requirements. All three of the buildings were inadequate in size for their previous medical related use. 3 Total includes three guard booths. rteport to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 7 PA0306013AAMCK:abd 14005.003.007107 /10,93 • Seven of the buildings in Area B are former aircraft hangar buildings that have been converted to office use. These seven buildings were all built in 1941 and 1942, and are proposed for demolition during the implementation phase of the proposed Amendment. All seven buildings are seismically deficient and are not effectively readapted to their current office use. Six buildings do not have HVAC systems and the seventh building has been partially retrofitted with HVAC but cannot be efficiently heated or cooled due to the 40 feet ceiling height. • An eighth building in Area B is also used for administrative offices. However, unlike the former aircraft hangar buildings described above, this building has always been used for administrative offices since construction in 1959. Although this building does not have any seismic deficiencies, the location of this building does not meet the force protection standards and is proposed for demolition. • There are two buildings that are located on the military base that provide child development/day care services. One of the buildings was recently constructed (1987) and contains no blighting conditions. The other building was originally built in 1954 as a slosh testing facility. This building is seismically deficient. In addition to the seismic deficiency issues both buildings are positioned in locations that interfere with the construction of additional new Base development. These buildings will be demolished as part of the SAMS development project and will be replaced with a single childcare facility. All of the other buildings that are proposed to be demolished within Area B will be demolished as part of MILCON development projects. Area B also contains three buildings that are metal sheds and act as supply warehouses including military support deployments. All three of these buildings are proposed for demolition. One of the three buildings was found to be seismically deficient" and none of the buildings include HVAC systems. • There is one building in Area B that supports other activities on the military base. This building was built in 1953 and contains the boiler house. This building is seismically deficient and is proposed for demolition. • Aside from the guard gate along Aviation Boulevard that will remain, Area B also contains two other guard gate booths located at entrances to the Base. Both of these booths will be demolished and replaced as part of the future layout of the Base. ° This building was identified as being seismically deficient by Base staff and was not evaluated as part of the Rapid Seismic Evaluation Report prepared by the US Army Corps of Engineers. ncpun co me city council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:gbd 16005.003.007/07 /10/03 Page 8 • The Base also contains a gas station, which was built in 1970. This gas station will be demolished and relocated as part of the MILCON development of the Base Exchange building. In its current location, it interferes with higher density development on Area B. • Another building in Area B was originally used as a paint shop but is now used as an auto hobby shop, which allows military personal to conduct maintenance on their automobiles. This 3 -sided building, built in 1942, is seismically deficient," does not meet the force protection requirements, and is proposed for demolition. In summary, all of the buildings in Area A and 10 of 16 buildings in Area B failed the seismic evaluation analysis and must be reinforced or demolished. In addition, two more buildings in Area B were identified by Base staff as being seismically deficient. Contributing to unsafe working conditions is the location of one building in Area A and four buildings in Area B that are too close to the street to provide adequate security. These structures are also proposed for demolition. Furthermore, approximately 30 percent of the parking in Area A and 15 percent of parking in Area B are too close to structures to insure security. Therefore, these parking spaces are not utilized in order to create the necessary buffer between the buildings, which creates a shortage of parking spaces. All of the office buildings in Area A are inefficient because the floor plates are too small and are subdivided into individual offices. This configuration does not allow for an open floor plan with modular furniture, which is the Air Force's preferred use of space. In Area B, buildings were designed for specific military uses such Force's airplane manufacturing, slosh testing, paint shop and tool compressor operations which are no longer airplane manufacturing, at this location. These buildings are difficult for reuse either because they are small such as the 9,481 square foot former slosh testing center or very large such as the airplane hangars which are single story buildings totaling approximately 54,000 square feet each. The airplane hangars utilize a large site area while providing minimum office space that is difficult to heat and cool. The inefficiency and underutilization of the existing building space is illustrated by the Air Force's analysis which concluded that the existing building area could be reduced from 835,000 square feet to 560,000 and still provide for the same number of persons and operations by eliminating wasted space that is currently allocated to hallways and private offices. As described in more detail below, economic blighting conditions include the existence of hazardous materials and impaired investments. The existence of hazardous materials is identified as an economic blighting condition in redevelopment law. The military base contains hazardous materials in the form of asbestos and lead based paints in both Areas A and B. Impaired investments within the Added Area are exhibited by the high cost for rehabilitation and the need for financial assistance to make the project financially feasibly for the private sector to undertake. It is estimated that there is an approximate $23.3 million dollar difference between the cost of the new Air Force improvements on Area B to be borne by the developer and the value of the properties being conveyed. The City of Hawthorne does not have the revenue to provide the $23.3 million financing to make the project financially feasible. In addition to the $23.3 million shortfall, the development project's inclusionary housing requirement adds $12.2 million in funding requirements for a total of $35.5 million. Even with projected $32.4 million in Repo.' '- the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 9 PA0306013.HAMCK:gbd 14005.003.00707{1 0,03 tax increment and housing set -aside funds, other sources of funding are being pursued to fund the $3.1 million shortfall including establishing a special assessment district and issuance of tax exempt bonds. Other funding sources could be available during the implementation of the Amendment and may include County Home Fund money. Without redevelopment assistance the private sector will not undertake the proposed development project. If the private sector working with local government bodies cannot provide alternative safe and suitable facilities, the Federal government may likely close all or a portion of the Base and relocate operations out of the region and State. The departure of the Air Force would result in loss of an estimated 65,400 jobs most of which are performed by large and small firms located in El Segundo, Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach and surrounding communities .5 This job loss would be a serious burden on the community. Physical and economic blighting conditions are located throughout the territory included within the Added Area, which was previously shown in Figure '1. B. URBANIZATION STATUS OF THE ADDED AREA As defined in Section 33320.1 of the CRL, to qualify as a redevelopment project, an area must be both blighted and urbanized. Predominantly urbanized means that not less than 80 percent of the land in the Added Area: Has been or is developed for urban uses; or 2. Is characterized by lots of irregular shape and inadequate size under multiple ownership; or 3. Is an integral part of one or more areas developed for urban uses, which are surrounded or substantially surrounded by parcels, which have been or are developed for urban uses. Furthermore, this Report provides a description of the Added Area that is sufficiently detailed for a determination as to whether the Added Area is predominantly urbanized. The description includes the following information: The total number of acres within the project area; 2.

Much of the office and research buildings occupying the Added Area were developed over 50 years ago. In addition, the Added Area is completely surrounded by urbanized uses. Manufacturing facilities are located to the north of and west of the Added Area. Commercial buildings and single - family residential dwellings are located to the east of the Added Area including the Del Aire residential community in unincorporated Los Angeles County. Adjoining the Added Area to the south is the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Hollyglen residential neighborhood in the City of Hawthorne. The Added Area is encompassed by urbanized uses and is entirely an integral part of an urbanized area. Redevelopment agencies have to qualify agricultural land proposed for inclusion within a redevelopment project area pursuant to requirements established in the CRL. The CRL prohibits redevelopment agencies from placing enforceably restricted open space and agricultural land in redevelopment project areas. However, unrestricted farmland, greater than two acres, may be included within a project area if certain findings are made by the e Although the Area A is triangular in shape, it is of substantial size and is all owned by the Federal Government; therefore, it is not considered a parcel of irregular size under multiple ownership. Redevelopment Plan for the " 110 Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 14 PA030W13.HAW:CK:gbd 14005.003.007/07 /10,03 redevelopment agency. There are no parcels within the Added Area that contain agricultural land. The analysis above demonstrates that 100 percent or all 111.19 acres of property in the Added Area is currently developed and is an integral part of an urbanized area and therefore qualifies as predominantly urbanized. Thus, the Added Area meets the urbanization criteria as defined by CRL 33320.1. C. BLIGHT CRITERIA Section 33030(b)(2) of the current CRL states that an area is blighted if it is characterized by "one or more" of any of four physical and one or more of any of five economic conditions listed in CRL Section 33031, as well as other factors. The CRL does not require that all indicators of blight exist throughout a project area [added area] but only that such blighting characteristics are so prevalent and so substantial that they cause a reduction of, or lack of, proper utilization of the area to such an extent that they constitute a serious physical and economic burden on the community. In this regard, the cumulative effect of blight throughout the Added Area can constitute a serious physical and economic burden on the community. The blight criteria for the Added Area is based upon the following as outlined in CRL Section 33031 (a) & (b): 1. Physical Blighting Characteristics 1 • Buildings in which it is unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work. Serious building code violations, dilapidation and deterioration, defective design or physical construction, faulty or inadequate utilities, or similar factors can cause these conditions. 2. Factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable use or capacity of buildings or lots. This condition can be caused by substandard design, inadequate building size given present standards and market conditions, lack of parking, or other similar factors. 3. Adjacent or nearby uses that are incompatible with each other and which Prevent the economic development of those parcels or other portions of the project area [Added Area]. 4. The existence of subdivided lots of irregular form and shape and inadequate size for proper usefulness and development that are in multiple ownership. < 11 M, IHry council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA030Wl3.HAW:CK:9bd 14005.003.00707 11W3 Page 15 2. Economic Blighting Characteristics t • Depreciated or stagnant property values or impaired investments, including but not necessarily limited to, those properties containing hazardous wastes that require the use of agency authority. 2• Abnormally high business vacancies, abnormally low lease rates, high turnover rates, abandoned buildings, or excessive vacant lots within an area developed for urban use and served by utilities. 3. A lack of necessary commercial facilities that are normally found in neighborhoods, including grocery stores, drug stores, and banks and other lending institutions. 4. Residential overcrowding or an excess of bars, liquor stores, or businesses that cater exclusively to adults that has led to problems of Public safety and welfare. 5. A high crime rate that constitutes a serious threat to the public safety and welfare. D. METHODOLOGY AND APPROACH Based upon the blight criteria established in the proceeding section, the Added Area contains two physical blighting characteristics and two economic blighting characteristics. The physical blight analysis is based upon a prevalence of unsafe building conditions, which was documented for Areas A and B in the Rapid seismic Evaluation of Buildings, Los Angeles Air Force Base and Fort MacArthur study prepared for the U.S. Department of the Army Corps of Engineers. Also contributing to the physical blighting conditions are substandard and obsolete building and site characteristics. For Area A, these conditions were described in the Economic Analysis of the Los Angeles AFB Consolidation Report. For Area B substandard and obsolete conditions are primarily based upon discussions with LAAFB staff. This report also addresses conditions of economic blight. The hazardous materials analysis, which applies to both Areas A and B was based upon information contained within the Draft Environmental Impact Statement/ Environmental Impact Report prepared for the Amendment and a review of the Air Force's database on asbestos and lead based paint samples taken from buildings located in the Added Area. Another indicator of economic blight is impaired investments. Impaired investments within the Added Area are demonstrated through two analyses. The first is an analysis of the cost effectiveness performed by the Air Force of Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:9bd 14005.003.007N7/10/03 ates, Inc. Page 16 rehabilitating the existing structure versus new construction. The analysis which was provided in the Revised Economic Analysis, Executive Summary, Los Angeles AFB Consolidation Report determined it was not cost effective to rehabilitate the existing structures. Impaired investments were also demonstrated by analyzing the developer's cost and projected revenues from the development project compared to an independent pro forma analysis prepared by KMA. This analysis determined that there was an unfunded shortfall of $35.5 million. E. DESCRIPTION OF PHYSICAL BLIGHTING CONDITIONS 1. Physical Blight - Buildings in Which it is Unsafe or Unhealthy for Persons to Live or Work By definition, as set forth by the Redevelopment Law, buildings which are considered unsafe or unhealthy for persons to live or work in, include those which exhibit deterioration and dilapidation, serious code violations, defective design or construction, faulty or inadequate utilities or other unsafe conditions which pose a threat to the health and safety of users or occupants. "In 1996, a Facilities Assessment Report was prepared for LAAFB buildings at Area A, Area B and the Lawndale Annex (Area C). The Report concluded that the facilities do not meet seismic and life safety codes and recommended either replacement or extensive renovation of the structures. The LAAFB buildings, many dating over 40 years old, require other renovations including asbestos removal, lead based paint concealment/encapsulation, and electrical and mechanical systems upgrades. Several of the existing facilities were designed to support aircraft assembly and now inadequately serve as administrative facilities. n7 In addition, a report was prepared for the U.S. Department of the Army Corps Engineers entitled "Rapid Seismic Evaluation of Buildings, Los Angeles Air Force Base and Fort MacArthur". The primary objective of the Rapid Seismic Evaluation was the protection of the life safety of the building occupants during a seismic event. This report included the evaluation of 60 buildings including all of the structures on Area A and all but nine buildings in Area B which included the guard gates, gas station, storage supply sheds, and automotive maintenance garage. Per the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program NEHRP) Act, Public Law 101 -614, requires that the following be determined: 1. Number of buildings owned or leased by each Federal Agency 2. Seriousness of the seismic risk to each building 3. Cost of strengthening each building LAAFB Land Conveyance, Construction and Development Project, Preliminary Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (EIS /EIR). 11VHVr. 1u me Uiry Uouncil for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 17 PA0305013.HAW:CK:gbd 14005.003.007/07110/03 "The outcome of the rapid evaluation is the determination of the overall capacity of the buildings to sustain a seismic event with minimal risk to life- safety. Therefore, if a building "passes" both the structural and non - structural evaluations, there is minimal life - safety risk. If a building "fails" there might be a life safety risk. In such case, a detailed analysis is recommended to be performed as the next step to more accurately quantify the risk" 6 A detailed structural evaluation was recommended if it appeared feasible that such an evaluation would produce evidence that allows a building which originally failed to pass the structural evaluation. If additional research was not expected to improve the rating of the building to pass, the building was identified for retrofit. In total, all seven buildings in Area A were given a rating of failed structure. As discussed in more detail below, one of the buildings was entirely deficient and the remaining six were partially deficient. Two of the seven buildings (including one that was entirely deficient) were recommended for retrofit. All seven buildings in Added Area A contain shear walls that exceed the allowable concrete shear stress and therefore in the event of seismic activity the structural integrity of the walls could be compromised and result in the collapse and failure of the wall. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Quick Check procedure for static forces allows a maximum concrete shear stress of 50 pounds per square inch (psi). All of the seven buildings contain shear walls that exceed 50 psi. In fact, six of the buildings have a shear wall stress that is at least 150 psi or three times the allowable shear stress Of 50 psi. For one building in Area A, the maximum demand stress in the shear walls are at 388 psi, which is significantly higher than the allowable concrete shear stress of 50 psi. Aside from the shear wall strength, the seven buildings within Area A have other structural limitations, which make these buildings susceptible to collapse as a result of seismic activity. In one building, the basement is generally open and the shear walls are discontinuous at the first floor, which creates a structurally vulnerable "soft story" between the open basement and the first floor; thus, the load path is poor and must travel through the column -slab connection. Furthermore, this building has inter -story displacements of 1.9" and 1.8" at the roof and second floor, which exceed the maximum inter -story displacement capacity of 0.48" at the slab /column connection. This displacement will cause the structure to be less stable in a seismic event because the columns will have limited lateral movement before they separate from the second floor and roof connections, which could result in the collapse of the building. A displacement of 0.48" or less would give the columns more lateral movement in a seismic event. As described in the Rapid Seismic Evaluation, another building has "a plywood roof diaphragm and lacks continuous cross -ties and chords and the cross -grain bending 5 Selections from Rapid Seismic Evaluation of Buildings, Los Angeles Air Force Base and Fort MacArthur, Final Report, July 1996, page 3. ..�n w uIC Redevelopment Plan for the ....- ...-...

W 3.007,D 7/ 10/03 condition at some of the ledgers may result in damage to the roof diaphragm and loss of wall to roof anchorage. Also, the lack of special ties at anchor bolts securing trussles /beams to pilasters may result in spalling and potential loss of support." As previously stated, Area B has a total of 25 buildings. The Rapid Seismic Evaluation report evaluated 19 of the buildings in Area B. Six buildings including the gas station, guard booths, auto maintenance garage and storage facilities were not evaluated because either the type of construction (i.e., steel corrugated storage sheds) or the size of the buildings do not pose a seismic treat (the guard booths). Of the 19 buildings evaluated, 16 buildings still remain. Three of the buildings were demolished and replaced by new construction. Thus, of the 16 existing buildings in Area B that were evaluated for seismic deficiencies, ten (10) buildings or 63 percent failed.9 All ten buildings were found to be partially deficient and were identified for retrofit. As indicated above, a recommendation for retrofit does not indicate that the building is a good candidate for rehabilitation but rather indicates that the structure is so grossly overstressed that even with detailed analysis the structure will still fail. Unlike the individual descriptions of the buildings in Area A, the Rapid Seismic Evaluation report did not provide shear wall stress in psi values for the buildings in Area B. However, the report stated that there were structural deficiencies within these buildings including shear wall stress, anchor bracing, lateral and diagonal bracing deficiencies. For example, one building contains bolt connections at the braced frames in the north -south direction that are inadequate to sustain a major seismic event. Furthermore, the building's lateral force resisting system in the east -west direction is mainly dependent upon on the "tree" columns, which the bending stresses under a seismic load are extremely high. As another example, two buildings have concrete masonry shear walls with a split -level roof diaphragm designed with tension bracings that are inadequate to transfer the diaphragm loads into the shear walls. Finally, as another example of structural deficiencies, one building according to the Rapid Seismic Evaluation report contains the following description: "an out of plane wall anchorage is provided at the roof purlins which are spaced at approximately 6' -6" on center. This anchorage spacing grossly exceeds the 4' maximum permitted by rapid structural evaluation." In other words, the spacing of the roof members, exceeds the recommended spacing to adequately transfer the seismic loads to the shear walls. In all, 17 of the 23 buildings or 74 percent of the existing buildings evaluated within the Added Area are seismically deficient including 100 percent of the buildings in Area A and 63 percent of the buildings in Area B. Another factor that was considered was the priority of the building for retrofit. Of the 60 total buildings evaluated in the Rapid Seismic Evaluation report, five buildings in Area A were among the top 10 in order of priority. Buildings were identified "Essential Facility" followed in importance by "Special Occupancy" and "Standard Occupancy ". Two of the 'Two additional buildings within Area B were identified by Base staff as seismically deficient but were not evaluated as part of the Rapid Seismic Evaluation Report. jw' Redevelopment Plan for the " c 1fu Amendment to the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 19 PA0306013.HAW:CKgbd 14005.003.007A 7/10,03 seven buildings were given a designation of Essential and the others were Special. Six of the seven buildings are used for MSL /Space research engineering and the other was identified as Head Quarters Specified (HQ Specified). Of the 16 buildings that currently exist in Area B, two buildings were in the top 10 in priority ranking. Two of the structures were identified as Essential, five were identified as Special and the remaining nine were identified as Standard. The Essential buildings were for special operations and a clinic and the Special buildings included a child care center, Base Civil Engineer (BCE) "Maintenance Shop ", base personnel office and commissary store. 2. Factors that Prevent or Substantially Hinder the Economically viable Use or Capacity of Building or Lots. a• Findings The analysis presented below is based upon discussion with Base personnel and reports prepared for the Air Force evaluating the feasibility of options for new construction verses rehabilitation as presented in the Revised Economic Analysis Executive Summary, Los Angeles AFB Consolidation Report. The Consolidation Report focuses on building conditions on Area A and Area C because the uses within these facilities are proposed to be relocated to Area B. The Sun Valley facility is currently vacant and therefore has no specific use that is proposed for relocation. Area B is the Proposed relocation site and, therefore, the buildings in Area B were not the subject of the Consolidation Report. However, the Air Force has evaluated the current use and reuse potential of buildings on Area B, and has concluded that all but four of the buildings are to be demolished. The buildings proposed for demolition include buildings that are either unsafe due to seismic deficiencies and /or are inefficient for their current use because similar services are located in multiple buildings rather than in a single structure. For example, the medical and day care facilities were or are located in buildings that are in some instances seismically deficient and in all instances were inefficient because the services are divided among multiple buildings for no other reason that no single building was large enough to accommodate the uses. In other instances, such as the gas station, the buildings are located in a place that interferes with expansion and consolidation plans. As previously stated, due to the inefficiency of the building floor plans, the Space and Missile Systems Center operation is dispersed in three locations at Area A, Area B and Area C. The combined square footage totals 835,000 square feet. The Air Force's desire is to increase efficiency by consolidating and locating all operations at one location. Because the office space is inefficient due to excessive circulation (halls) and subdivided in individual offices, or is housed in airplane hangar or other buildings that are not designed for their current use, it is expected that the existing operations could be housed in 560,000 square feet if designed to contemporary Air Force's space needs report to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:gbd 10005.003.007)97 /10/03 Page 20 The need for an open floor plan is illustrated in the Air Force's analysis of the renovation option for buildings in Area A discussed below. In the renovation scenario the interior is demolished to create an open floor plan. Area A is developed with seven buildings including six office buildings and one warehouse building that has been converted to office use. The existing office building floor plates are too small (approximately 20,000 square feet) and are subdivided into individual office space, which does not serve the Air Force's space use needs which requires larger open floors that can accommodate modular furniture and a higher density of personnel. The warehouse building has a larger floor plate but has also been subdivided with small office spaces. Aside from inefficient floor space, further diminishing the viability of renovating the buildings on Area A is the lack of sprinklers and a substandard HVAC system. Instead of having fire sprinklers on every floor, only the rooms within the basements of each building where the chillers, boilers and equipment are located are equipped with sprinklers. New HVAC is needed for four of the seven buildings in Area A. This includes new variable volume boxes (VAV)70 and supporting ductwork for all buildings in Area A. The pneumatic thermostatic controls for the HVAC are mostly inoperable. Currently, approximately half of the existing VAV's have been modified to make them operable by the Civil Engineering Maintenance Inspection Repair Team (CEMIRT) Team. It other words, to keep the HVAC functional, the system has been modified to be turned on and off manually for each building. The CEMIRT Team goes from one building to another in the morning to turn on the HVAC and returns in the afternoon to turn off the system. Existing chilled water and heating water pipes are also in need of replacement and in many areas are not insulated. Only the chillers, boilers and cooling towers, which were replaced in the last six to eight years are sound. Area B is developed with 25 buildings ranging in size from 60 to 74,769 square feet. The smallest of the buildings include the guard gates, a gas station and storage facility, and the larger buildings are airplane hangars that have been converted to office space. Due to the placement of the buildings on Area B and the larger number of small buildings (13 of the 25 buildings are less than 10,000 square feet), the site is not efficiently utilized. Although the airplane hangars are currently utilized for office space, this is not a successful adaptive reuse of these buildings. Similar to the warehouse use on Area A, the tall ceiling height makes heating and air conditioning of the space inefficient. Buildings in Area B also contain similar deficiencies that are exhibited by Area A buildings including a lack of sprinklers and inadequate HVAC systems. ° VAV boxes are located in the ceiling and based upon demand, control the opening and closing of vents. Redevelopment Plan for the V y Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HA W:CK:gbd 14005.003.007N7/10/03 Page 21 Another factor that affects the viable use of the facility is the conflict between the current site layout and new anti- terrorism standards (referred to as "Force Protection "). Following the attacks on September 11, 2001, military buildings are required to be set back 45 meters from the street and 25 meters from parking lots. The parking on Area A is surface parking that adjoins the buildings on all sides. Because of the heightened security approximately 30 percent of the surface parking cannot be used. Instead of parking next to the facilities, a significant portion of the personnel working at Area A must park at Area B and walk to Area A including crossing El Segundo Boulevard. In Area B approximately 15 percent of the parking spaces cannot be utilized. In summary, the factors that prevent or substantially hinder the economically viable use or capacity of building or lots in Areas A and B include: 1) Building operations that are dispersed at three locations which separate activities that are desired to be grouped at one location; 2) Office buildings with floor plates that are too small and subdivided into individual offices which reduces space efficiency; 3) Buildings that were designed for manufacturing uses and are not efficiently adapted to office use — most notably they cannot be adequately heated and cooled for an office environment; 4) An HVAC system that cannot be efficiently operated and due to its age is assumed not to be repairable; and 5) Inadequate parking due to new force protection requirements. b. Background.on Air Force Analysis for Determining the Financially Superior Alternative Many of the issues related to substandard building design and functional obsolescence are addressed in the Revised Economic Analysis, Executive Summary, and the Los Angeles AFB Consolidation Report. The following is a discussion of the options analyzed both in terms of cost and providing an adequate work environment. Alternatives and Costs As previously stated, the objective of the Air Force is to provide 560,000 square feet of safe, functional and cost effective base support facilities that meets the Air Force's standards for work environment and mission support. The costs associated with each of the following alternatives was provided by the Air Force in its economic study. The Air Force prepared a cost/benefit analysis evaluating each of the alternatives listed below and determined what alternatives were the most feasible. The primary goal was to determine whether new construction or renovation was the best altemative. Although the commercialization alternative described below envisions commercial development on Area A instead of the proposed residential development, the Air Force's analysis is Report to the City Council for the Third Amendment tc the Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:pbd 14006.003.007M7110M Page 22 still valid because the cost/benefit analysis evaluated only the development or renovation of Air Force facilities and not the reuse of Area A. The following four alternatives were analyzed: 1. Status Quo — the primary purpose of the status quo analysis was to establish baseline costs. This alternative is not considered a long -term solution. For the current fiscal year 2003, the value of Area A, Area C and Sun Valley combined is estimated at $242,467,452 for the 1,277,936 square feet. This value assumes periodic maintenance (includes selected major repairs) and normal operations, maintenance, refuse and custodial expenses. Major repairs were derived from estimating the life cycle of the individual repairs including roofing, HVAC service, heating, cooling and electrical. Plumbing is calculated by the LAAFB. The net present value (NPV) costs are calculated based upon a discount rate of 3.9 percent as per March 2000, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circular and is estimated at $251,073,821.11 2. Renovation — assumes all facilities in Areas A and C are renovated to meet seismic safety and life safety codes with the exception of a warehouse building 12 in Area A. Buildings proposed for renovation total 714,737 square feet. Renovation assumes interiors of the structures in Area A will be completely gutted with new layout conductive to systems furniture resulting in reduced footage would be needed. Assumptions include costs for moving, demolition and furniture. Finally, one building is assumed to be renovated per year. The total net present value cost of this alternative is $304,709,029. 3. MILCON13 — determined not be as cost effective and efficient as the Commercialization alternative, but would be the most viable alternative for the long -term functional operation of LAAFB.14 This alternative provides two development scenarios: " It should be noted that the NPV calculation utilizes a mid -year convention (July -Dec.) instead of a full calendar year cycle (Jan.-Dec.). " Determined to be unsuitable for continued use and was not evaluated as a candidate for rehabilitation. 13 MILCON is an acronym for military construction funding. 14 Air Force's standard operating procedure is to develop all Air Force facilities through the MILCON process and not by private developers. For this reason, the MILCON alternative was identified as the most viable alternative. 1 uou mmenament to the Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HA W :CK:9bC 14005.003A07/0711OV03 ates, Inc. Page 23 3a. Policv Constrained — would provide 560,000 square feet of space but in comparison to the Commercialization alternative would occur over a longer timeframe. Also, the cost is estimated to be $80 million more that the Commercialization alternative below. This alternative assumes the Air Force would receive federal funding and would undertake the consolidation of operations on Areas A and C through the construction of six buildings on Area B. One building would be built every two years with construction continuing until 2014. A parking structure is needed to provide parking for the six new buildings. The total net present value cost of this alternative is $281,430,107. 3b. MILCON Commercialization — identical to the Commercialization alternative below, this alternative assumes two rather than six new buildings containing 560,000 square feet. One building would be built in 2003, and the other in 2004. Federal funding is not considered feasible because of the large amount of funding that would be required in a short- term. The total net present value cost of this alternative is $250,524,275. 4. Commercialization — transfer of real property to a developer in exchange for the construction of new facilities. The value to the Air Force of the conveyed property is $54.5 million based on a retail center on Area A and residential on Area C.15 The developer will sell the Sun Valley property. The Air Force's proposal also assumes that El Segundo, Hawthorne and Los Angeles County would forgo most new funding taxes (sales, property, utility etc.) generated on the conveyed property and will contribute these funds to the project. Also, it is assumed that the project would be available for HUD Section 108 Loan. This, along with other loans, bonds and grant mechanisms will generate $49.7 million for the project. In addition, a major assumption is that shortfall in financing between the costs to the developer and adequate return on investment could be eliminated by reducing the square footage of the improvements or through negotiations with the developer. The total net present value cost of this alternative is $208,315,049. Based upon the above descriptions, the most cost effective alternative would be the Commercialization alternative ($208,315,049), which was estimated to be 17 percent less than the MILCON Commercialization ($250,524,275) and Status Quo ($251,073,821) alternatives, 26 percent less than the MILCON Policy Constrained 1s Subsequent to this analysis residential rather than retail is proposed for Area A. The value of residential alternative is estimated at $80 million which reduces the amount of needed public finance but does not affect the rehabilitation analysis which is based upon the cost of the proposed 560,000 square feet of office construction which is unchanged. See section III. F. of this Report. Report to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 24 PA0306013.HAW:CK:gbd 14005.003.007)07 /10/03 alternative, and 32 percent less than the Renovation alternative. However, as previously stated, the analysis took into consideration not only the total cost of the alternatives but whether the alternatives provided an adequate work environment in determining the economically viable use of the buildings. The following section addresses the non - monetary costs and benefits of each of the alternatives. C. Background on Air Force Analysis for Evaluating Non - Monetary Costs and Benefits Survey Criteria To determine non - monetary costs and benefits, the SAMS Team performed a benefit analysis for each of the previously described alternatives using AFMAN 32 -1089, the Air Force Military Construction and Family Housing Economic Analysis Guide and previous Environmental Assessments (EAS) as examples. The main reason for initiating this project (the "mission ") was to vacate the current seismically unsafe buildings on the Base and provide a safe work environment. The SAMS Team identified seven categories. A weighted point value for each category was assigned based upon the primary goal, to improve operational performance and complete the mission. The weighted point value varied from each category with a high maximum point value of 4.0 awarded for health and safety issues and operational impact and a low maximum point value of 1.0 for accessibility. As shown in Table 2, the maximum possible benefit score the alternatives could receive is 18.5 points. Instructions were developed which described the categories, weighted values and what ranges would represent. Individuals performing the rating were chosen from a diverse cross section of the Base who were familiar with every alternative in order to be able to fully understand the impact that each alternative would have on attaining the mission and therefore would score the category impartially. The evaluation categories included the following: 1 • Accessibility (1.0 oointc max.) - Includes location, transportation and parking. As shown in Table 2, MIXON (0.8 points) and Commercialization (0.7 points) alternatives rated highest due to the proximity of the parking garage to new facilities. Status Quo and Renovation, both with 0.5 points, were a close second since current parking and traffic flow are adequate (analysis performed prior to new anti - terrorism protect standards which limits usability of existing parking at Area A and to a lesser degree on Area B). 2. Availability of Base Services /Activities (1.5 Points max) _Rates location of the Proposed project to other services and activities on the Base. Commercialization (1.4 points) and MILCON (1.3 points) alternatives rated superior because of centrally located and consolidated facilities. Status Quo and Renovation received low ratings for being dispersed in three geographic locations. report to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 25 PA0303013.HA W:CK:pbd 14005.003.007/07110/03 3. Facility Adequacy Q 0 Points max) — Measures how the facility meets the needs of the user. "Is there sufficient space /capacity ?" "Is the layout compatible with the user?' "Are the utilities reliable?" As shown in Table 2, Renovation (1.7 points) and Status Quo (1.2 points) alternatives received lower ratings due to the inefficient use of space and the incompatible layout. Status Quo rated the lowest because of its unreliable infrastructure. 4. Health and Safety C4-.O points max) — Measures benefits of alternatives to meet life safety and health concerns of Air Force personnel. Commercialization (3.9 points) alternative delivers facilities in the shortest timeframe and therefore military related personnel are provided a safer work environment faster than the other alternatives. "Status Quo received minimal points due to the unacceptable levels of risk associated with the combination of seismic, fire and hazards material deficiencies ". 5. Land Use and Strategic Plan (2.0 Points max) — Evaluates implementation of the comprehensive plan. Since the plan envisions all facilities in one location, only the MILCON (1.7 points) and Commercialization 0.9 points) alternatives fully met this requirement. 6. Mission /Operational Impact AO Points max) — Rates efficiency, productivity and overall ability of the Space and Missile Systems Center to meet support and operational requirements. Renovation and Status Quo alternatives received much lower ratings, 1.9 and 1.8 respectively, due to disruption they would cause to the current work force because of poorly operating facilities and extensive repair projects needed to keep them operational. 7. Morale (3.0 Points max) — As shown in Table 2, the commercialization alternative rated the highest (2.7 points) because of the morale boost the new state of the art facilities would have on employees. As described in the Table 2 below, the Commercialization alternative received the highest total rating (17.0 points or 92 percent of the possible total points) based upon the seven categories because it provided state -of -the -art facilities in the shortest timeframe. Renovation received a lower rating (9.0 or 49 percent of total possible points) because the lack of consolidation and inefficiency of space could not be addressed. The preference to private sector construction (Commercialization) versus military construction ( MILCON alternatives) was that the private sector could deliver the space in a shorter timeframe and at a lesser cost. Also, a reliance on military construction was not preferred due to uncertainty of receiving funding and that if funding was available, it would occur over a multiple year period resulting in phase construction rather than developing the facilities at one time. neport to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAWcK:9bd 14005.003.007/07 /10N3 ates, Inc.

In order for the Air Force to determine which alternative is the most cost efficient and provides the most beneficial use of the Base in terms of providing an adequate work environment, a cost/benefit ratio for each of the alternatives was determined. This was calculated by dividing the total net present value by the total benefit score. For example, as shown in Table 3, the Status Quo alternative's total net present value is $251,073,821, which divided by the total benefit score of 6.6 provides a cost benefit of $37,755,46216 per benefit point. fi As shown in Table 3, the Status Quo alternative is the least economically viable alternative. The cost/benefit ratio of the Status Quo alternative ($37,755,462) is 209 percent higher in cost than the Commercialization alternative ($12,221,150).

DESCRIPTION OF ECONOMIC BLIGHTING CONDITIONS The CRL identifies depreciated or stagnant property values or impaired investments, including but not limited to, those properties containing hazardous wastes that require the use of agency authority as a condition of economic blight. This economic blighting condition, specifically impaired investments, results from a higher cost to provide new military facilities than the value of land and the proposed reuse of Areas A and C. In addition, hazardous materials, including asbestos and lead paint, impacts the effective and safe use of buildings in the Added Area. 7 Is based upon the SAMS Team evaluation of seven categories for each alternative described in this section, including accessibility, health and safety, facility adequacy, and morale. A weighted point value (ranging from 1.0 to 4.0) for each category was assigned based upon the primary goal, which maximum point total is 18.5. is to improve operational performance. The " Represents the average total net present value of the alternative per benefit score point. This can be calculated by dividing the total net present value by the total benefit score. For example, Status Quo alternative's total net present value is $251,073,821, which divided by the total benefit score of 6.7 equals to a cost/benefit ratio of $37,755,462. Average cost per benefit point may not equal exactly due to rounding off of the total benefit points. rteport to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:9bC 14005.003.00707 110/03 Page 28 1. Impaired Investments a. Introduction As described earlier, renovation of the existing facilities is not considered a feasible alternative for the following reasons: A. The facilities are dispersed at three different locations, and the Air Force requires one central facility; B. The physical design of the buildings do not meet the Air Force's needs, and these design constraints cannot be corrected through rehabilitation; C. The existing working environment does not conform to current seismic and life safety standards, and due to funding constraints, the renovation would have to occur over several years; and D. The projected renovation costs are approximately $96 million greater than the costs for the private sector to construct a new facility on one site. The Air Force evaluated the options, and determined that the most cost effective and time efficient plan to provide safe and efficient workspace was to contract with the private sector to undertake the construction of a new facility. However, as illustrated in the following analysis, there is a $23.3 million difference between the cost of the new Air Force improvements on Area B to be borne by the developer and the value of the properties being conveyed. This financial feasibility shortfall cannot be funded by the private sector. The financial feasibility shortfall is evidence of impaired investments. The private sector has explored methods to reduce the shortfall funding deficiency including establishing a Mello Roos finance district. However, the amount of unfunded revenue is too large to bridge unless the revenues generated by a redevelopment project can be secured. Also, the inability of the private sector to undertake the project and the need for redevelopment financing is demonstrated in following analysis that examines project costs and potential return on investment. In fact, the analyses show that the project cannot be supported without tax increment and other funding sources. rteport to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.MAW;CK:9bd 14005.003.007107110/03 Page 29 b. Findings The Air Force's Commercialization concept (private sector development of Area B) assumes that the private sector can make a reasonable return on the estimated $115 million net cost to develop 560,000 square feet of new facilities on Area B in return for the Air Force transferring ownership of the Sun Valley Property, Area A and Area C to the developer. However, the Air Force subsequently determined that the resale value of the land and potential development of Area A and C would total $80.7 million, which is approximately $34.3 million less than the net cost to relocate the new military facilities. The Air Force anticipates that cost savings and /or development scope modifications can be identified that will reduce the Air Force facilities relocation costs by $11.0 million. This reduces the unfunded amount estimated by the Air Force to approximately $23.3 million. The developer proposed that the identified shortfall could be recouped if 100 percent of the unrestricted tax increment generated by the development is contributed to the project. To evaluate the developer's assumptions, and to assess the public costs associated with the affordable housing production obligation generated by the proposed residential development, KMA prepared a preliminary financial analysis of the proposed residential development on Area A and Area C. The analysis included: A. An independent determination of the shortfall in revenues between the resale value of the property and the cost of construction of new facilities on Area B; B. An estimate of the financial deficiency associated with producing the 155 low and moderate income housing units (including Areas A and C) that would be required to fulfill the inclusionary housing obligation required by California Health and Safety Code Section 33413(b); and C. A projection of the tax increment that would be available to meet the inclusionary and shortfall filling requirements. The KMA financial analysis concluded that the project exhibits a shortfall of $23.3 million without consideration of the affordable housing obligation. It is important to consider that the development of residential units within a redevelopment project area triggers an inclusionary housing requirement. If 1,029 market rate - housing units are developed, the Agency will incur an inclusionary housing obligation of 155 low and moderate income units (62 very low- income and 93 moderate income units) that must be fulfilled within 10 years. Based on the assumption that the inciusionary units are developed within the Existing Project Area, that the developer can obtain outside public assistance sources and that no land costs are incurred, the 155 units are projected to require $12.2 million in redevelopment assistance.

Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 30 PA0305013.HAW:CK:9bd 14005.003.007N7110M3 As summarized in the table below, the cost to fund the military replacement facilities plus the cost to fund the required affordable inclusionary housing is $35.5 million. If it is assumed that the tax increment generated by the private development in Areas A and C are dedicated to filling the unfunded amount, the following funds are projected to be available in present value terms: 1. This tax increment net of the required 20% set -aside for affordable housing and 20% statuary pass throughs to taxing agencies, is projected to total $24.0 million. 2. The tax increment housing set -aside fund deposits are projected to total $8.4 million. The combined tax increment revenues for non - housing and housing are projected to total $32.4 million, and the financial shortfall is estimated at $35.5 million. As shown in the following table, this leaves an unfunded shortfall of $3.1 million prior to other funding sources (i.e., special assessment districts). Estimated Combined Unfunded Amount and Sources of Funds Development Shortfall Affordable Housing Requirement $23,300,000 Total Required Present Value Tax Increment 112,160,000 $35,460,000 Unfunded Amount Special Assessment District Revenue /Bond1e ($32.337.000) $3,123,000 Proceeds 13,123,000 Unfunded Amount $0 As shown above, the project costs cannot be funded by the private sector, and the City of Hawthorne cannot provide the $35.5 million in funding required to bridge the financial feasibility shortfall and to fulfill the inclusionary housing requirement generated by the project. Even if it is assumed that the $32.420 million in redevelopment tax increment revenues is contributed to the project, other funding sources are needed to fund the $3.1 million remaining shortfall. As discussed in Section V of this Report, it is proposed that the remaining $3.1 million shortfall will be funded through special assessment districts and tax exempt bond proceeds. 9 This analysis is one illustration as to how the development project will be funded. State and Federal grants and other funding sources may also be utilized. 20 Due to rounding the approximate tax increment projection of $32.4 million differs from the figure noted above ($32,337,000).

Hazardous Waste Contamination The Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIS /EIR) prepared for the Amendment was based upon the Draft Environmental Assessment for Land Conveyance /Seismic Upgrade (dated September 2002 by Malcolm Pimie), which identified the hazardous waste /materials located in the Added Area including general hazardous wastes, pesticides, radioactive materials, radon, ordinance storage, storage tanks, asbestos - containing materials, medical and biohazard waste, lead -based paint, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Subsequently, some of the hazardous waste and materials have been cleaned -up, however, asbestos - containing materials and lead - based paints are still present within the Added Area and remediation efforts have not been completed. The following sections of the Report contain excerpts from the Hazardous Materials and Hazardous Waste Management section of the Draft EIS /EIR (Sections 3.3 and 4.3), which identifies hazardous waste /materials within the Added Area. It is assumed that the Department of the Air Force will be responsible for remediation of the site for the portion that is not associated with the SAMS project. For the SAMS project, the hazardous materials associated with the structures such as lead paint and asbestos will be remediated as part of the demolition of the existing buildings located on Areas A and B with assistance, as necessary, from the Agency. a. Asbestos As stated above, due to the construction date of the buildings in Area A and B, it is likely that most of the buildings contain asbestos materials. These types of materials were used in everyday construction and include ceiling and floor tiles, drywall, plaster, gypsum board, roof sheeting, pipe insulation and joint compound. A structure that contains asbestos construction materials is potentially a significant health and safety issue for the building's occupants if the asbestos fibers are inhaled at high concentrations over an extended time period. Asbestos fibers can enter the human body and cause asbestos related diseases such as asbestosis (scarring of the lung tissue), mesothelioma (cancer of the pleural lining), and lung cancer. According to the EIS /EIR, an asbestos survey was performed in June 1988 to determine the extent of asbestos - containing material (ACM) on the LAAFB (including Fort MacArthur and Area C). In all, over 6,500 samples of various types of construction /building materials from buildings located at LAAFB have been tested. Approximately 85 percent of the samples tested came back positive for asbestos. Results from the asbestos survey and data from the LAAFB Environmental database confirm the presence of asbestos in all of the buildings in Areas A and B. Limited abatement projects have been undertaken and none of the buildings have been cleared of asbestos. Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:gbd 14005.103 007M 7/ 10/03 Page 32 b. Lead Based Paint Lead based paints are common in older buildings. Lead was used as a pigment and dying agent in "alkyd" oil based paint in approximately two- thirds of all buildings built in the United States prior to 1940, and one -half of the buildings built from 1940 to 1960. If inhaled, lead based paint dust are a health hazard to adults and children and can cause irritability, poor muscle coordination, learning disorders, and nerve damage. Under the guidelines established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Title X, Section 403 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, national guidelines for lead hazards in dust, soil and paint have been developed to assist property owners in determining lead hazards. Under these guidelines, dangerous conditions of lead based paints exist when lead is in excess of either 1.0 mg /cm2 or 0.5 percent by weight. Painted floors, ductwork, walls and piping represent some of the painted elements that were found within the Added Area to contain lead at concentrations greater than 0.5 percent by weight. Since 1988, approximately 2,400 paint samples were taken at the LAAFB (including Fort MacArthur and Area C) and tested for lead. Approximately 90 percent of the samples contained a high enough amount of lead to be considered lead based paints. All of the buildings in Area A and all of the non -metal buildings in Area B contain lead based paints. However, the extent of how much lead based paints these buildings contain, is not know until a "top- to-bottom " comprehensive survey has been prepared. Abatement projects have been undertaken at certain buildings within Area A. However, the abatement work conducted was very limited and lead based paint is expected to be present in all of the Area A buildings. Redevelopment funding may assist in reducing site preparation costs including the cost to dispose of asbestos and lead paint materials. In accordance with hazardous waste disposal guidelines as it pertains to the SAMS project. This could include disposal of hazardous materials on all seven buildings on Area A and pending additional study, one or two buildings on Area B within the footprint of the proposed SAMS project. The Air Force will be responsible for the removal and remediation of hazardous materials on the balance of Area B. 1 nuu mmenament to Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0305013.HAW;CK9bd 10005.003.007N711W3 Page 33 IV. DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIFIC PROJECTS PROPOSED BY THE AGENCY AND HOW THE PROJECTS WILL IMPROVE OR ALLEVIATE THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN PART III A. REQUIREMENT AND APPROACH The CRL requires that a Report include a description of the specific projects and programs to be undertaken by the Agency and how such projects and programs will alleviate blight in the Added Area. This section describes the Agency's proposed program of redevelopment of the Added Area and its relationship to blight alleviation. The program of redevelopment presented in this section is conceptual in nature and may change in the implementation of the development project. The following is a description of the proposed specific projects and the programs that the Agency can undertake to remove the impediments to the private sector's redevelopment of the Added Area, and to meet its affordable housing obligation. B. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The first phase of the development project includes the construction of 560,000 square feet of administrative and special use facilities on Area B per the specifications of the Air Force. The Proposed project includes two- four story buildings containing 543,000 of office space and one - one story building containing 17,000 square feet (childcare facility). The second phase of development includes the residential reuse of Areas A and C. The current development proposal assumes the construction of 750 for sale residential units in four different unit configurations in Area A. Approximately 279 units will be developed within Area C consisting of either single - family detached, townhomes, or flat stack housing. The table below outlines the unit types below for the Areas A and C developments. Residential Development Concept - Areas A and C21 " Based upon residential build out scenario provided by Kearny Real Estate on May 29, 2003 and development standards provided by the City of Hawthorne. rteport to the City Council far the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:gb0 14005.003.007107,10m3 aces, inc. Page 34 As outlined in the table above, six different housing types are proposed for Areas A and C. These housing types are described as follows: • Cluster Detached Condominiums — urban styled single family homes with direct access garages clustered around parking courts and interior drives. The homes are similar in form to townhomes, but are detached. • Tuck -under Townhouse — rear loaded, side - attached townhomes with attached individual garage parking and direct access to home. • Combo Condominiums — single and two -story living units combined into three and four story buildings. Parking is provided in an above -grade structure that can be accessed from the catwalk circulation serving the residents. • Single- Family Units — single - family units will occupy approximately twelve acres of the Area A site. These units will be detached and consist of two and three story units. • Townhomes — consists of multiple story homes with attached garage. • Flat Stack Residential — consists of single story, one bedroom units that are stacked similar to condominiums and apartments. C. REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAM To implement the proposed Amendment thereby facilitating the development project described above, the Agency may undertake a variety of activities. Although Area C is within the Existing Project Area and not a part of the Added Area, the financing of the proposed development project includes Area C. For this reason, Area C is included within this discussion of proposed projects and programs. The following projects and programs are intended to describe the range of activities that the Agency may undertake. Heport to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW :Mgbd 14005.003.007A1/1=3 Page 35 1. Demolition, Relocation and Site Preparation To assist in the preparation of Areas A and C for redevelopment, the Agency may assist in site preparation activities such as demolition and clearance of all buildings and improvements. The Agency may also assist in demolition and clearance activities in Area B, including the demolition of two buildings, which are currently utilized for child development/day care services. The developer with Agency assistance, will cause the removal of unsafe and unhealthy buildings within Areas A and B by demolition and clearance, and remove impediments to future development of the Added Area. All of the buildings in Area A and a portion of the buildings in Area B are seismically deficient and contain hazardous waste materials such as asbestos and lead based paints. The Agency may also assist in site preparation including grading and hazardous materials remediation. 2. Infrastructure There are many improvements that will need to be made to provide adequate access and utilities to Areas A and C to make it suitable for residential development. This includes the widening of Aviation Boulevard, the installation of sewer lines/ improvements, drainage improvements, street finishing /grading, the construction of a perimeter wall and landscaping. In Area B, the Agency may assist in infrastructure improvements to achieve a financially feasible project. Infrastructure improvements in Area B will include under - grounding Southern California Edison electrical lines and the relocation of the storm drainage system. This may also include additional street improvements, additional traffic lights, streets, curbs and gutters. The implementation of this program will eliminate the impediments to new development of residential and administrative and special use facilities within the Added Area. The proposed improvements will increase utility capacity for reuse of the Added Area, improve safety and reduce traffic impacts associated by the proposed development project. - - -- - -, - -- •.• IW, p,r, rluru mmenament to the Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CKAbtl 14005.003.007/07110N3 Page 36 3. Public Facilities The Agency proposes to assist in the development of public facilities within Area B. These public facilities consist of the 560,000 square feet of office space that will be constructed on the Base as part of the SAMS project. The implementation of this project will cause the elimination of existing blighting conditions, which include buildings that are unsafe and unhealthy due to seismic deficiencies and hazardous materials contamination due to the existence of asbestos and lead based paints. Also through assistance in developing the facilities, the Agency will provide relocation space for Air Force activities currently operating in Area A and Area C. 4. Affordable Housing As required by State law, 20 percent of the gross tax increment funds received by the Agency must be deposited into a fund that assists in improving, preserving and increasing the community's supply of affordable housing. This money may be spent within the Added Area, Existing Project Area or citywide. The Agency is proposing to implement a housing program to increase the amount of low and moderate income housing opportunities for renters within the Existing Project Area. This program would include rehabilitating existing units and price restricting these units for low and moderate income families. Also contemplated is the construction of new rental housing. Based upon State law, the 750 residential units proposed for Area A will generate a 113 -unit affordable housing obligation and the 279 residential units identified for Area C will generate a 42 -unit affordable housing requirement. These units will have to be price restricted for low and moderate income families and persons. The Agency plans to develop rehabilitate the 155 affordable units within the Existing Project Area and not within Areas A or C, which will consist of market rate housing. The development of new affordable housing in the Existing Project Area combined with substantial rehabilitation of existing housing, and will increase affordable housing Opportunities and improve the quality of existing multiple - family housing. 5. Other Redevelopment Activities Other redevelopment activities may be necessary to alleviate blighting conditions, facilitate development or otherwise carry out the Agency's purposes in the Added Area. The Agency will incur various administrative costs including staff time; special legal and technical assistance; and possibly preparing other studies.

PROPOSED METHOD OF FINANCING THE AMENDMENT, ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY, AND REASONS FOR INCLUDING DIVISION OF TAXES PURSUANT TO SECTION 33670 Section 33352(e) of the CRL provides that the Report for the Amendment contain a proposed method of financing the Amendment, including an assessment of economic feasibility and the reasons for including a provision for the division of taxes pursuant to Section 33670 of the CRL. Economic feasibility, for purposes of this analysis, is defined to be a comparative analysis of anticipated costs for implementation of the Amendment and the projected revenues to be generated. Economic feasibility is determined through a summarized feasibility cash flow analysis of the Amendment as summarized on Table 4. Net tax increment revenues to fund the projects, programs and activities required for the redevelopment of the Amendment are to be committed only from Area A located in the Amendment and from Area C located in Project No. 2. The area - specific tax increment revenue projection for Area A is shown on Table 5 and the area - specific projection for Area C is shown on Table 6. Apart from Area C, no other net tax increment revenues generated in Project No. 2 will be used to finance the redevelopment activities of the Amendment. A. ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT COSTS A determination of economic feasibility requires an identification of the potential costs associated with redevelopment of the Amendment. Redevelopment could require significant participation from the Agency in activities to promote and achieve the goals and objectives of the amended Plan and to address blighting conditions. The redevelopment program described in this section outlines a set of activities to be implemented by the Agency for the purpose of facilitating private reinvestment in the Amendment and eliminating physical and economic blighting influences. The estimated costs of the proposed redevelopment projects over the life of the amended Plan are as follows: Air Force Base Related Improvements $10,000,000 Public Improvements 13,256,000 Inclusionary Housing Requirements 12.160.000 Subtotal _ $35,416,000 Administration 2,250,000 Interest on Debt Service 45.663.000 Totals Estimated Costs $83,329,000 22 Does not include land costs.

Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No, 2 Page 38 PA030W13.HAW:CK9bd 14005,003.00710711 0N3 Air Force Base Related Improvements Costs associated with the provision of replacement facilities at Area B are to be expended to implement the redevelopment program to provide consolidated new facilities and subsequent reuse of Areas A and C. The projected cost for the Base related improvements is forecast to be $10 million. 2. Public Improvements Proposed public improvements may include demolition, relocation and site preparation activities, sewer and drainage improvements, utility undergrounding, street widening, grading and finishing improvements, perimeter wall and landscaping improvements, land assembly costs for public easements, builder fees and fees associated with engineering, design and architectural services. Public improvement costs are estimated to be $13.2 million. 3. Inclusionary Housing Requirements The development of new market rate housing on Areas A and C will trigger the inclusionary housing requirement set forth in Health and Safety Code Section 33413. The Agency is permitted up to 10 years to provide the necessary inclusionary housing upon construction of the market rate housing. Based upon the residential absorption forecasts incorporated in this scenario, the inclusionary housing requirement costs are projected to be $12.2 million not including land costs. 4. Administration The cost to administer the Amendment is assumed to average $75,000 per year over the effective life of the amended Redevelopment Plan. Total administrative costs are projected to be $2.2 million. 5. Interest on Debt Service The Agency will consider all funding alternatives allowable under the CRL to finance the anticipated projects discussed above, including the issuance of tax allocation bonds secured by tax increment revenues generated by Areas A and C and /or the issuance of special assessment district bonds secured by annual assessments collected from a special assessment district (e.g. Mello Roos). Heport to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0308013.HAW:CK:gbd 16005.003.007X711=3 ates,Inc. Page 39 In the initial years of the amended Plan implementation, tax increment revenues generated by Areas A and C will not be sufficient to fund anticipated project costs. The Agency will consider all funding alternatives allowable under the CRL to finance the anticipated projects discussed above, including the creation of a special assessment district to issue bonds secured by the special assessments levied on Areas A and C. The Agency may also consider the pledge of tax increment revenues generated from Areas A and C to secure the principal and interest payments of tax allocation bonds issued to finance anticipated project costs or to fund future inclusionary housing requirements. Based upon the feasibility scenario reflected on Table 4, combined net tax allocation bond proceeds to fund identified project costs amount to $11.2 million. Under this feasibility cash flow scenario it is also assumed that the creation of a special assessment district and the issuance of special assessment district bonds on an as- needed basis would result in combined net bond proceeds of $18 million. The special assessment district bonds would be secured by annual assessments levied on Areas A and C. The Agency has not committed itself to any specific financing alternative as of this analysis and the assumptions incorporated in the Table 4 cash flow reflect only one potential scenario for purposes of illustrating financial feasibility. The issuance of tax exempt bonds and the use of said proceeds will be subject to certain federal tax restrictions. Total projected debt service over the term of the projection amounts to $74.9 million over the 30 year effective term of the Amendment and may be funded from a combination of annual special district assessments, net tax increment revenues and the County's contribution of its statutory pass through. Of this total debt service, projected net interest totals $45.6 million. B. FINANCING METHODS AVAILABLE TO THE AGENCY The amended Plan is prepared with the intent of providing the Agency with the necessary legal authority and flexibility to implement the revitalization of the Amendment. The amended Plan authorizes the Agency to finance the Amendment with financial assistance from any or all of the following sources: (1) City; (2) State of California; (3) federal government; (4) tax increment funds in accordance with provisions of the existing CRL; (5) Agency bonds; (6) interest income; (7) loans from private financial institutions; (8) donations; (9) developer payments and (10) any other legally available public or private sources. Current provisions of the CRL provide authority to the Agency to create indebtedness, issue bonds, borrow funds or obtain advances in implementing and carrying out the specific intents of a redevelopment plan. The Agency is authorized to fund the principal and interest on the indebtedness, bond issues, borrowed funds or advances from tax increment revenue and any other funds available to the Agency. The creation of a special assessment district will also provide Report to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc, Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 40 PA0306013.HAW!CK9bd 14005.003.007,07 /10 /03 an additional financing vehicle to fund the necessary public infrastructure improvements in the Added Area. Potential revenue sources to fund project costs and debt service, as assumed in the financial feasibility cash flow, include the following: (1) net tax increment revenues from Area A and Area C; (2) County contribution of its statutory pass through payments; (3) special assessment district assessments; and (4) interest earnings. The estimated resources available to finance the anticipated redevelopment projects and indebtedness incurred through bond proceeds are summarized as follows: Net Tax Increment Revenue — Areas A and C $69,282,000 County Share of Statutory Pass Through 11,612,000 Special Assessment District Levies 14,835,000 Interest Earnings _ 6.121 000 Total Resources $101,850,000 1. Net Tax Increment Revenues — Areas A and C The incremental taxable values and resulting tax increment revenues generated by Area A and Area C are shown on Tables 5 and 6, respectively. Future tax increment revenues are based upon anticipated value added from residential construction and sales activities on the respective Added Area sites and the 2% real property annual inflationary increase allowable under Article XIIIA of the California Constitution. The new development assumptions incorporated into this feasibility scenario assume 750 new residential units constructed on Area A and 279 new residential units23 constructed on Area C. The gross tax increment revenues projected for Area A over the 30 -year effective life of the Amendment amounts to $91.5 million. From this amount, the Agency will deposit $18.3 into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Set Aside fund, the County will collect $1.8 million in fees for County administrative services and $20 million will be allocated as a statutory pass through to affected taxing agencies as required by Health and Safety Code Section 33607.5. The net tax increment revenue allocable from Area A is projected to be $51.4 million over the 30 year effective life of the amended Plan. Although not reflected in the Area A projection, tax increment generated from Area A could be allocated to the Agency for up to an additional 15 years after the amended Plan's termination date in order to repay indebtedness. Since bonded indebtedness obligations are not assumed beyond the amended Plan's termination date in the cash flow projection, the additional allocations of tax increment dollars beyond Year 30 are not assumed. 23 The Willow Glen Specific Plan allows for the maximum development of 280 residential units. Report to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:9bd 14005.003.007/07 /10 /03 ates, Inc. Page 41 The gross tax increment revenues projected for Area C over the term of the cash flow amounts to $31.9 million. From this amount, the Agency will deposit $6.4 into the Low and Moderate Income Housing Set Aside fund, the County will collect $653,000 in fees for County administrative services and, commencing in 2004 -05, a total of $6.9 million will be allocated as a statutory pass through to affected taxing agencies as the result of the Agency's amendment to eliminate the January 1, 2004 debt incurrence time limit for Project No. 2. This amendment triggers the statutory pass through provisions set forth in Health and Safety Code Section 33607.5. The resulting net tax increment revenue allocable from Area C is projected to be $17.9 million over the term of the cash flow projection. Tax increment revenue generated from Area C is assumed to be allocated to the Agency for the additional 10 years after the Project No. 2 redevelopment plan termination date of November 26, 2024 so as to repay any Amendment indebtedness that is secured by tax increment revenues generated by Area C. 2. County Share of Statutory pass Through The County is allocated to receive a portion of tax increment revenues allocated under the statutory pass through provisions of Health and Safety Code Section 33607.5. In an effort to assist the Agency in the redevelopment of Areas A and C, it is assumed that the County agrees to contribute its share of the annual statutory pass through. Based upon the projected growth scenario assumed, the cumulative County contribution from Area A would amount to $7.9 million and the cumulative County contribution from Area C would amount to $3.7 million, for a combined cumulative total contribution of $11.6 million. Discussions with the County are presently underway. 3. Special Assessment District Levies The creation of a special assessment district to help finance in initial years' project costs will enable the district to issue bonds secured by levies collected from Areas A and C. For purposes of the feasibility cash flow scenario illustrated on Table 4, the annual levies are assumed to range from a minimum of $500,000 per year to a maximum equal to the annual debt service requirements of the special district bonds assumed in the feasibility projection. For purposes of this financial feasibility analysis, it is also assumed that the special assessment district debt service requirements are annually offset by available net tax increment revenues generated by Areas A and C and by the County's contribution of its share of the statutory pass through. The resulting net assessment annually required to meet debt service is shown on the cash flow projection and amounts to $14.8 million over the term of the projection. Under this assumption, to the extent actual tax increment revenues are higher than forecasted, the net annual district assessment requirement would be lower than assumed on the cash flow.

HA W:CX.9bd 14005.003.007/07110 /93 4. Interest Earnings The Agency may receive interest earnings generated from funds on deposit in the bond reserve funds, project operating funds and other special funds established for the Amendment. Bond reserve funds are assumed to be maintained at annual balance equivalent to outstanding debt service. Interest earnings are based upon an assumed 4% rate and are applied to the balances available in the respective funds. Projected cumulative interest earnings are estimated to be $6.1 million on the cash flow projection. C. PROPOSED FINANCING METHOD, ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY, AND REASONS FOR INCLUDING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING The anticipated costs to implement a program of revitalization in the Added Area will require significant participation from the Agency as it implements activities which promote and achieve the stated goals and objectives of the amended Plan. Economic feasibility of the amended Plan has been determined based upon a comparative cash flow analysis of the anticipated costs for implementation of the proposed redevelopment program to the resulting projected resources expected to be generated over the life of the Amendment. The financial feasibility cash flow summarized on Table 4 was created to represent one scenario of economic feasibility based upon the anticipated projects, programs and activities forecast for the Amendment. The revenue and expenditure assumptions incorporated in the cash flow do not reflect specific Agency agreements or commitments entered into as of this writing. Although the Agency may consider other funding sources permitted in the amended Plan, not all of the funding sources may be available or be feasible for the Agency to use in financing the anticipated costs and revenue shortfalls and are therefore not assumed in this feasibility cash flow. Neither the City nor the private market acting alone can fully bear the costs associated with the implementation of the redevelopment program; therefore, tax increment revenues must be considered as a viable financing tool. D. BONDED INDEBTEDNESS LIMIT Based upon the financing method discussed above, the following bond limit, as required by the CRL for inclusion in the amended Plan has been determined. The total bonds for the Added Area supported in whole or in part by tax increment revenues generated by the Added Area and Area C that may be outstanding at one time may not exceed a principal amount of $36,000,000. This amount has been determined based on anticipated project costs identified above. tteport to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0305013.HAW:CK:9bd 14005.003.007/07 /104]3 Page 43 N O Z 6 c m y a Q Q d C C o E Q CL a y M > �o�: y Z LL ; G 0 C p E E o d O C L d w¢x°` M M m r N o a o 0 o m N M N N a m o 0 o m N tN�l N r N N O O O O h N N Q A O O o 0 n r O N O M N m e N m m N r N O m O m N m V m m r N O O O 0 0 c 0 0 0 0 0 0 L p J O L U y `a m ¢a N O O � o v c in c m C N O O O O D CO m J U m O N N C C O N O° N LU C U H?

DISCUSSION OF WHY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE ACTING ALONE OR ALTERNATIVE FINANCING IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO ELIMINATE REMAINING BLIGHT The existing physical and economic conditions within the Added Area generally described in Section III of this Report, cannot reasonably be expected to be reversed or alleviated by private enterprise or governmental action, or both, without the authority of redevelopment because there is a lack of public funding and resources to correct deficiencies. As previously discussed, it is estimated that there is an approximate $23.3 million dollar difference between the cost of the new Air Force improvements on Area B to be borne by the developer and the value of the properties being conveyed. The City of Hawthorne does not have the revenue to provide the $23.3 million in financing to make the project financially feasible. In addition to the $23.3 million shortfall, the development project's inclusionary housing requirement adds $12.2 million in funding requirements for a total of $35.5 million. Even with projected $32.4 million in tax increment and housing set -aside funds as discussed in Section V of this Report, other sources of funding will be needed to fund the $3.1 million shortfall including establishing a special assessment district and issuance of tax exempt bonds. Without redevelopment assistance and tax increment financing, the private sector will not undertake the proposed development project. An alternative to private sector construction was military construction (MILCON). However, the private sector alternative is more feasible because the private sector could deliver the space in a shorter timeframe and at a lesser cost. Also, a reliance on military construction was not preferred due to uncertainty of receiving funding and that if funding were available, it would occur over a multiple year period resulting in phase construction rather than developing the facilities at one time. Parts IV and V of this Report identify the programs and costs that are needed to alleviate the conditions that cause blight found in the Added Area. As stated in Part V Section C, "Proposed Method of Financing the Amendment, Economic Feasibility, and Reasons for Including Division of Taxes Pursuant to Section 33670" other funding sources also have serious limitations. Grants from other levels of government are sporadic and difficult to obtain. Development impact fees can only be set at a level to cover the impacts that are created by the development and cannot be used to raise additional funds to remove existing deficiencies in the Added Area. The use of tax increment financing is necessary to cover portions of the extensive program costs that will incur in implementing the redevelopment program for the Added Area. The proposed improvement projects and programs for the comprehensive redevelopment of the Added Area are discussed in Section IV of this Report and anticipated expenditures total $83,329,000 in 2003 dollars for the Added Area and Area C. Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:9bd 14005.003.007N7110103 Keyser Page 47 Alternative funds are available under various rules, conditions and circumstances. However, these funds alone and /or cumulatively are inadequate to accomplish the proposed projects and programs. In addition to redevelopment, there are a number of funding sources potentially available to municipalities in California. Some of these, such as community development block grants, economic development administration grants and SBA loans and loan guarantees, derive from the Federal government. Regrettably, the availability of money from these Programs, particularly Federal programs, has become less available and more restrictive in recent years. Other financing alternatives, such as enterprise zone funding, State commerce department grants and loans, and employment training grants and loans, derive from state government. While still others, such as industrial development and mortgage backed revenues bonds, private bank CRA financing and private /public financing sources, derives from private and 'off- budget' governmental sources. However, this type of funding is difficult to implement because of certain restrictions. As an example, general obligation bonds require a two- thirds vote of the electorate. unfortunately, none of the above - described financing alternatives are under local control, or are definite and ongoing. All are subject to their own budgetary constraints, at the Federal or State level, and are further subject to lengthy application or arcane administrative procedures which make immediate application of their benefits to any given real estate transaction, in which "time is of the essence," problematic at best. Thus, the foregoing analysis confirms the fact that tax increment financing must remain the principal source of financing with consideration given to other methods in appropriate circumstances. Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No, 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:Qbd 14005.003.007MMM3 Page 48 VII. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Per Section 33352(c) of the CRL, the Implementation Plan prepared as part of the Report to the City Council, must describe the specific goals and objectives of the Agency, specific projects proposed by the Agency, including a program of actions and expenditures proposed to be made within the first five years of the adoption of the Amendment, a description of how these projects will improve or alleviate the blighting conditions in the Added Area, and show how the requirements for low and moderate income housing in the community will be met. The Agency adopted the original Implementation Plan for the Existing Project in 1994, for the five -year period from 1994 through 1999. The current Implementation Plan was adopted in 1999 for the five -year period between 2000 -2004 (Appendix A). The Agency is proposing to amend the existing Implementation Plan for the Existing Project to include a program and projects for the Added Area and Area C. Although Area C is located within the Existing Project Area, this area is included in this amended Implementation Plan because this area is a part of the proposed development project and financing plan. Although the Implementation Plan for the Existing Project is being amended to include the Added Area and the development of Area C, the projects, programs and expenditures for the Added Area will be separate from the Existing Project Area except for Area C which are included within this Implementation Plan. Since the current implementation plan cycle ends in 2003 -04, the Implementation Plan in Appendix A will guide the Agency's actions and expenditures for the Existing Project Area for the next year. At the end of 2004, the Agency will prepare a new five -year implementation plan encompassing the years 2004 -05 through 2008 -09. The activities identified for the Added Area and Area C will be incorporated into the new Implementation Plan and amended as necessary to identify an additional year's activities if different from those identified for the first five years of redevelopment within the Added Area (amended Implementation Plan). The following analysis outlines the five -year implementation plan goals, objectives, projects, program, expenditures and relation to blight alleviation for the Added Area and Area C. The activities and expenditures described below are the same as those identified in Parts IV and V of this Report on the proposed Amendment. A. ADDED AREA GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 1. Areas A and C Goals and Objectives: 1. Provide for new housing within the Added Area and Area C that will address local and regional housing needs, and be compatible with adjacent residential areas. Report to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 49 PA0306013.HA W:CK:Bbd 14005.003.007N711 0,03 2. Promote an intensity of development that will contribute to the financial feasibility of the Project and that is appropriate to its location. 3. Provide circulation and transit improvements that will mitigate impacts from the proposed development. 4. Improve the utilities and other infrastructure to support the residential reuse of Areas A and C. 5. Provide landscaping and screening elements to enhance the appearance of the residential development and to buffer the new development from the surrounding area. 6. Remove and mitigate as necessary hazardous waste materials and contamination. 2. Area B Goals and Objectives: Develop military faculties that will meet the needs of the Air Force and provide safe working environment. 2. Provide the necessary infrastructure improvements to provide for the new military facilities. 3. Remove and mitigate as necessary hazardous waste materials and contamination. B. PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS The projects and programs proposed are intended to facilitate the achievement of the goals and objectives outlined above. Demolition, Relocation and Site Preparation The developer with Agency assistance, will cause the removal of unsafe and unhealthy buildings within Area A and B by demolition and clearance, and remove impediments to future development of the Added Area. Furthermore, the Agency will assist in site preparation of Area C and may include demolition and clearance. All of the buildings in Area A and a portion of the buildings in Area B are seismically deficient and contain hazardous waste materials such as asbestos and lead based paints. The Agency may also assist in site preparation including grading and hazardous materials remediation. - •° ne i nlro Amendment to Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:9bd 14005.003.007,07110 /03 Page 5o 2 Infrastructure Improvements will be needed to provide adequate access and utilities to Areas A and C to make it suitable for residential development. This includes the widening of Aviation Boulevard, the installation of sewer lines /improvements, drainage improvements, and street finishing /grading. In Area B, the Agency may assist in infrastructure improvements to achieve a financially feasible project. Infrastructure improvements in Area B may include under - grounding Southern California Edison electrical lines and the relocation of the storm drainage system. This may also include additional street improvements, additional traffic lights, streets, curbs and gutters. The implementation of this program will eliminate the impediments to new development of residential in Areas A and C and administrate and special use facilities within the Area B. The proposed improvements will increase utility capacity for reuse of the Added Area and Area C, improve safety and reduce traffic impacts associated by the proposed development project. 3. Public Facilities The Agency proposes to assist in the development of publicly -owned facilities within Area B. These public facilities consist of the 560,000 square feet of office space that will be constructed on the Base as part of the SAMS project. The implementation of this project will cause the elimination of existing blighting conditions, which include buildings that are unsafe and unhealthy due to seismic deficiencies and hazardous materials contamination due to the existence of asbestos and lead based paints. Also through assistance in developing the facilities, the Agency will provide relocation space for Air Force activities currently operating in Area A and Area C. 4. Affordable Housing As required by State law, 20 percent of the gross tax increment funds received by the Agency must be deposited into a fund that assists in improving, preserving and increasing the community's supply of affordable housing. This money may be spent within the Added Area, Existing Project Area or citywide. The Agency is proposing to implement a housing program to increase the amount of low and moderate income housing opportunities for renters within the Existing Project Area. This program would include rehabilitating existing units and price restricting these units for low and moderate income families. The Agency may consider newly constructed rental or ownership r Cpur r to the City Council for the Third Amendment to Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0305013.HAW:CK:pbd 14005.003.007N7/10/03 Page 51 housing as well. Based upon State law, the 750 residential units proposed for Area A and the 279 residential units proposed for Area C will generate a 155 -unit affordable housing obligation. These units will have to be price restricted for low and moderate income families and persons. The Agency plans to develop /rehabilitate the 155 affordable residential units in the Existing Project Area and not within Areas A or C, which will consist of market rate housing. The development of new affordable housing in the Existing Project Area combined with substantial rehabilitation of existing housing, and will increase affordable housing opportunities and improve the quality of existing multiple - family housing by increasing the number of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom units. The Agency has ten year to fulfill its inclusionary affordable housing requirements. The Agency does not anticipate assisting in the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing related to the Added Area during the first five year implementation plan period. Because there are no residents in the Added Area the Agency does not expect to displace any residents or remove any residential units within the Added Area. 5. Other Redevelopment Activities Other redevelopment activities may be necessary to alleviate blighting conditions, facilitate development or otherwise carry out the Agency's purposes in the Added Area. The Agency will incur various administrative costs including staff time; special legal and technical assistance; and possibly preparing other studies. C. EXPENDITURES The following is a description of the project expenditures during the first five -year implementation period for the Added Area and Area C. 1. Air Force Base Related Improvements Costs associated with the provision of replacement facilities at Area B are to be expended to implement the redevelopment program to provide consolidated new facilities and subsequent reuse of Areas A and C. The projected cost for the Base related improvements is forecast to be $10 million. 2. Public Improvements Proposed public improvements may include demolition, relocation and site preparation activities, sewer and drainage improvements, utility undergrounding, street widening, Neport to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA030W13.HAW:M9bd 14005.003.007 /0711=3 Page 52 grading and finishing improvements, perimeter wall and landscaping improvements, land assembly costs for public easements, builder fees and fees associated with engineering, design and architectural services. Public improvement costs are estimated to be $13.2 million. 3. Inclusionary Housing Requirements As stated above the development of new market rate housing on Areas A and C will trigger the inclusionary housing requirement set forth in Health and Safety Code Section 33413. The Agency is permitted up to 10 years to provide the necessary inclusionary housing upon construction of the market rate housing. Based upon the residential absorption forecasts incorporated in this scenario, the- inclusionary housing requirement costs are projected to be $12.2 million excluding land costs. Prior to occupancy of each phase of residential development in Areas A and C, the Agency must have an inclusionary housing financing plan in place. Within the first five years the Agency will hold in reserve 20% of the gross tax increment for future development of affordable housing estimated at $590,000. 4. Administration The cost to administer the Amendment is assumed to average $75,000 per year over the effective life of the amended Redevelopment Plan. Expenditures and Costs for the Initial Five -Year Implementation Plan Period Projects and Programs ated Improvements UP —Added Area (2004 -05 through 2008 -09) As shown in the table above, the total expenditures for the Added Area over the five -year period are estimated to be in the range of approximately $32.0 million. Report to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0308013.HAWcK:2bd 14005.003.007/07 /1 OM3 Page 53 D. HOW THE PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS, AND EXPENDITURES WILL ALLEVIATE BLIGHT IN THE ADDED AREA 1. Demolition, Relocation and Site Preparation To assist in the preparation of Areas A and C for redevelopment, the Agency may assist in site preparation activities such as demolition and clearance of all buildings and improvements. The Agency may also assist in demolition and clearance activities in Area B, including the demolition of two buildings, which are currently utilized for child development/day care services. The developer with Agency assistance, will cause the removal of unsafe and unhealthy buildings within Area A and B by demolition and clearance, and remove impediments to future development of the Added Area. All of the buildings in Area A and a portion of the buildings in Area B are seismically deficient and contain hazardous waste materials such as asbestos and lead based paints. The Agency may also assist in site preparation including grading and hazardous materials remediation. 2. Infrastructure There are many improvements that will need to be made to provide adequate access and utilities to Areas A and C to make it suitable for residential development. This includes the widening of Aviation Boulevard, undergrounding of utilities, the installation of sewer lines /improvements, drainage improvements, street finishing /grading, the construction of a perimeter wall and landscaping. In Area B, the Agency may assist in infrastructure improvements to achieve a financially feasible project. Infrastructure improvements in Area B will include under - grounding Southern California Edison electrical lines and the relocation of the storm drainage system. This may also include additional street improvements, additional traffic lights, streets, curbs and gutters. The implementation of this program will eliminate the impediments to new development of residential uses in Areas A and C and administrative and special use facilities in Area B. The proposed improvements will increase utility capacity for reuse of the Added Area and Area C, improve safety and reduce traffic impacts associated by the proposed development project. 3. Public Facilities The Agency proposes to assist in the development of public facilities within Area B.

The implementation of this project will cause the elimination of existing blighting conditions, which include buildings that are unsafe and unhealthy due to seismic deficiencies and hazardous materials contamination due to the existence of asbestos and lead based paints. Also through assistance in developing the facilities, the Agency will provide relocation space for Air Force activities currently operating in Area A and Area C. 4. Affordable Housing As required by State law, 20 percent of the gross tax increment funds received by the Agency must be deposited into a fund that assists in improving, preserving and increasing the community's supply of affordable housing. This money may be spent within the Added Area, Existing Project Area or citywide. The Agency is proposing to implement a housing program to increase the amount of low and moderate income housing opportunities for renters within the Existing Project Area. This program would include rehabilitating existing units and price restricting these units for low and moderate income families. The Agency may consider newly constructed rental or ownership housing as well. Based upon State law, the 750 residential units proposed for Area A and the 279 residential units in Area C will generate a 155 -unit affordable housing obligation. These units will have to be price restricted for low and moderate income families and persons. The Agency plans to develop /rehabilitate the 115 affordable residential units in the Existing Project Area and not within Areas A or C, which will consist of market rate housing. The development of new affordable housing in the Existing Project Area combined with substantial rehabilitation of existing housing, and will increase affordable housing opportunities and improve the quality of existing multiple - family housing. 5. Other Redevelopment Activities Other redevelopment activities may be necessary to alleviate blighting conditions, facilitate development or otherwise carry out the Agency's purposes in the Added Area. The Agency will incur various administrative costs including staff time; special legal and technical assistance; and possibly preparing other studies. - •- -- —v /u mu i mra Hmenoment to Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:gbd 14006.003.007/07 /10/03 Page 55 VIII. METHOD OR PLAN FOR RELOCATION Section 33352(f) of the CRL requires that the Agency's Report to the City Council contain a "Method or Plan" for "the relocation of families and persons to be temporarily or permanently displaced from housing facilities in the project area, which ... shall include the provision required by Section 33411.1." Additionally, Section 33411 of the CRL requires the Agency to prepare a feasible "method or plan" for relocation of nonprofit local community institutions to be temporarily or permanently displaced from facilities actually used for institutional purposes in the project area. Section 33411.1 requires the legislative body to insure that "...such method or plan of the Agency ... shall provide that no persons or families of low and moderate income shall be displaced unless and until there is a suitable housing unit available and ready for occupancy by such displaced person or family at rents comparable to those at the time of their displacement. Such housing units shall be suitable to the needs of such displaced persons or families and must be decent, safe, sanitary, and otherwise standard dwelling. The Agency shall not displace such person or family until such housing units are available and ready for occupancy." A plan for relocation was prepared for the Existing Project Area in connection with the adoption of the Existing Plan. Although the Agency does not anticipate the relocation of future residential dwelling units or commercial office facilities located within the Added Area over the 30 -year life of the Amendment, a plan or method for relocation has been prepared for the Added Area in case such an event does occur during the implementation of the proposed Amendment. However, this Method or Plan for Relocation prepared for the Added Area below is not intended to be a "Relocation Plan" within the meaning of Section 6038 of the "Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines" promulgated by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (California Code of Regulations, Division 1 of Title 25, commonly called the "State Guidelines "). As described below, a Section 6038 Relocation Plan is not prepared until the Agency initiates negotiations for the acquisition of real property and prior to proceeding with any phase of a public improvement or facility project or other implementation activity that would result in any displacement other than an insignificant amount of non- residential displacement. A. AGENCY DISPLACEMENT To the extent that the Agency directly or through agreements with owners, developers or other cause occupants to be displaced, the Agency will be responsible for providing relocation benefits. The Agency is not responsible for any displacement, which may occur as a result of private development activities not directly assisted by the Agency under a disposition and development, participation, or other such agreement.

ANALYSIS OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAN Section 33352(g) of the CRL requires that this Report include an analysis of the Preliminary Plan prepared for the proposed Amendment. The Planning Commission of the City of Hawthorne amended the Preliminary Plan for the Existing Project to include the Area A portion of the Added Area on April 2, 2003, by Resolution No. 2003 -07. Subsequent to this action, on May 21, 2003, by Resolution 2003 -12 (Appendix B), the Planning Commission further amended the Preliminary Plan for the Existing Project Area to incorporate Area B within the proposed Added Area. The Agency accepted the first amended Preliminary Plan and subsequently on May 27, 2003, the Agency accepted the second amended Preliminary Plan by Resolution No. 363 (Appendix B) and directed staff to prepare the amendment to the Existing Plan and the Preliminary Report. The second amended Preliminary Plan describes the boundary of the Added Area, and contains a general statement of land uses, layout of principal streets, population densities, building intensities, and building standards proposed as the basis for redevelopment of the Added Area. The Preliminary Plan, as amended, shows how the purpose of the California Community Redevelopment Law would be attained through the redevelopment of the Added Area and has a statement of consistency with the General Plan of the City. The Preliminary Plan, as amended, also describes generally the impact of the Existing Project and the Amendment upon the residents thereof and the surrounding neighborhood. A copy of the second amended Preliminary Plan is included in Appendix B of this Report. The proposed Amendment conforms to the standards and provisions of the Preliminary Plan as amended. The boundary of the Added Area and the goals and provisions of the Preliminary Plan have not changed and are consistent with the proposed Amendment. As set forth in the Preliminary Plan, the proposed Amendment will attain the purposes of the CRL through the implementation of the goals and objectives of the Existing Plan as amended by this Amendment. - - ••• •> 1V1 u1e i mro Hmenament to the Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.RAW:CK:gW 14005.003.007M7/10103 Page 64 X. REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND REPORT REQUIRED BY SECTION 65402 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE Section 33352(h) of the CRL requires that the Agency's Report to the City Council contain the report and recommendations of the Planning Commission on the proposed Amendment. Section 33352 0) of the CRL requires that the Agency's Report to the City Council contain the report required by Section 65402 of the Government Code (conformance with General Plan and Specific Plan). Section 65402(c) states among other things, that no real property should be acquired by dedication or otherwise for public purposes, no real property shall be disposed of, no street shall be vacated or abandoned and no public building or structure shall be constructed or authorized until such activities have been submitted to and reported upon by the local planning agency as to conformity with the jurisdiction's adopted general plan. The Area A portion of the Added Area is located within the proposed Pacific Glen Specific Plan ( "Specific Plan ") area. The Specific Plan is scheduled for approval on July 16, 2003. If approved, the proposed Amendment will have to be consistent with the Specific Plan as well as the City of Hawthorne's General Plan. The Area B portion of the Added Area is within the City of El Segundo and is designated as public facilities which is consistent with the current and proposed continued use of Area B as Air Force facilities.

COMMUNITY CONSULTATIONS Section 33352(i) of the CRL requires that this Report contain the summary referred to in Section 33387. Section 33387 refers to the minutes of the Project Area Committee (PAC) and the record of information exchanged between the PAC and the Agency. There is no existing PAC for the Existing Project Area. On June 23, 2003, the City Council, by Resolution No. 6807, found and determined that the Amendment will not contain authority for the Agency to acquire by eminent domain any property on which persons reside in the Existing Project Area or the Added Area. Therefore, a Project Area Committee need not be formed in connection with the Amendment (Appendix C). In lieu of a PAC, the Agency consulted with and obtained the advice of property owners, business owners, tenants, community organizations, and other interested parties at a community information meeting held on June 24, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. Notice of this meeting was sent to all of the occupants and property owners within the Existing Project Area and the Added Area along with some properties located adjacent to the Existing Project Area and Added Area in order to insure that everyone received a notice. The notice was also published on June 12 and 19, 2003 in the Hawthorne Press Tribune. Copies of the meeting notice are provided in Appendix D. The Community Information Meeting consisted of a presentation including an overview of redevelopment in Hawthorne, and the purposes of the proposed Amendment, including discussions on the development of the Added Area, followed by a comment, question and answer session. Copies of the Owner Participation Rules, Existing Redevelopment Plan, proposed Amendment and map of the Existing Project Area and Added Area were provided. Approximately 35 people attended the community meeting. Questions and comments from the community generally included the following: • Will affordable housing be located within Area A ? • What is the difference between Area A and Area B ? • What other areas of the Existing Project Area are being developed ? • How many homes does the Agency plan to develop within the Added Area ? • What type and how many residential housing units will be developed within Area A ? • Will the population increase due to the residential development in Area A affect police and fire protection services in the City ? • What is the timeframe for development of the Added Area ? • Will there be senior housing within the Added Area ? • How long will redevelopment activities within the Existing Project Area last ? • Will Aviation Boulevard be widened when Area C is developed ? • Will residential properties be taken by eminent domain within the Existing Project Area ? Report to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 66 PA0306013.HAW:CKgbd 14005.003.007A7110p3 In response to the questions, City staff explained that the Air Force would like to consolidate its activities at LAAFB from Area A and C to Area B at which point a private developer will construct residential units on Areas A and C (Existing Project Area) and then in return for these Properties develop 560,000 square feet of office space on Area B for the Air Force's use. City staff stated that the exact number and type of residential units to be developed on Area A is still being determined but approximately 750 units will be developed. All of the units will be market rate housing and that the required 113 inclusionary low and moderate income housing units will be built within the Existing Project Area. The affordable housing units can be built anywhere within the City.24 The time frame for the development of the residential units on Area A will be approximately eight years. The exact impacts upon public services, such as police and fire, and the necessary funding to mitigate any impacts are still being determined and may include revenues from the utility taxes generated within Area A. The Agency currently does not have plans to widen Aviation Boulevard near Area C. The primary focus of the Amendment is the inclusion of the Added Area. There are other Agency - related projects being implemented within the Existing Project Area but these projects are not affected by the Amendment and are considered a separate process. Redevelopment activities within the Existing Project Area will terminate in 2023. Senior housing could be developed within the Existing Project Area but the amount of Agency housing funds used for senior housing cannot be proportionately higher than the percentage of senior citizens within the City, which according to the US Census is estimated at six percent (6 %). Finally, within the Existing Project Area and the Added Area, the Agency cannot use eminent domain for residential properties because the Agency does not have that authority. At the conclusion of the meeting, City staff offered to stay and answer additional questions. The Agency will also consult and obtain the advice of occupants and property owners at the Joint Public Hearing meeting of the City Council and the Agency scheduled on August 25, 2003. Per CRL Section 33349, the Agency will send a first class mailing containing the required Notice of Joint Public Hearing to the last known assessee (the "property owner") of each parcel of land and to all tenants and business owners within the Existing Project Area and the Added Area. This notice will contain a letter explaining the purpose of the Joint Public Hearing and other pertinent information such as the meeting date, time and location. Consenting to the Joint Public Hearing will be approved by the City Council and Agency Board, along with the contents of the mailing, at the meeting on July 14, 2003. The Notice of Joint Public Hearing will also be published in a newspaper of record (Hawthorne Press Tribune) for four (4) consecutive weeks, in compliance with CRL Sections 33349 and 33361. The days of publication are scheduled for July 24 and 31 and August 7 and 14, 2003, 24 If the Agency chooses to fulfill its inclusionary affordable housing requirement outside the Existing Project Area, the units will have to be built on a two for one basis.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT Section 33352 (k) of the CRL requires that this Report contain the report required by Section 21151 of the Public Resources Code (Environmental Impact Report). Since the proposed development project within the Added Area involves federal agencies (i.e., Air Force) a combined Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared simultaneously to meet federal (National Environmental Policy Act) and state (California Environmental Quality Act) requirements for environmental analysis and review. Although the EIS /EIR was prepared specifically for the land conveyance, construction and development of LAAFB, the EIS /EIR was also used as the environmental compliance documentation for the proposed Amendment in accordance with CEQA requirements. The EIS /EIR is included under a separate cover as an attachment to this Report and is incorporated herein by this reference. The Initial Study identified the following issues as having effects that were found not to be significant and, therefore, no further analysis within the EIS /EIR was determined necessary: • Agricultural Resources • Biological Resources The Initial Study identified the following issues as having potential impacts as a result of the implementation of the proposed Amendment, which required the preparation of an EIS /EIR and included analysis of the impacts and, as necessary, mitigation measures to reduce those impacts to a less- than - significant level: • Land Use • Water Resources • Employment, Population and Housing • Shade /Shadow • Soils and Geology • Environmental Justice • Public Services (police protection, fire protection, schools) • Public Utilities (sewer, water, natural gas, electricity) • Hazardous Materials/Waste • Cultural Resources • Protection of Children Based upon the analyses contained in the EIS /EIR, the following environmental impacts would remain significant and unavoidable as a result of the Amendment and subsequent development project within the Added Area: • Aesthetics • Air Quality • Public Utilities (solid waste only) • Noise • Transportation • Public Services (libraries and parks) The Draft EIS /EIR was circulated to the affected taxing entities and responsible environmental Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0306013.HAW:CK:9bd 14005.003.007A7/10/03 Page 68 agencies for a 45 -day review period beginning on April 11, 2003 and ending on May 27, 2003. During the 45 -day review period, the Agency received comments on the Draft EIS /EIR. These comments and the response to the comments received on the Draft EIS /EIR are included within the Final EIS /EIR under a separate cover as an attachment to this Report, and is incorporated herein by this reference. The Agency at the joint public hearing on the proposed Amendment, scheduled for August 25, 2003, will consider the Final EIS /EIR.

NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT REPORT Section 33352(m) of the CRL requires that the Agency's Report to City Council contain a neighborhood impact report if the redevelopment project contains low or moderate income housing. The purpose of the neighborhood impact report is to describe in detail the impact of the proposed actions upon the residents of the project area and surrounding areas in terms of relocation, traffic circulation, environmental quality, availability of community facilities and services, effect on school population and quality of education, property assessments and taxes, and other matters affecting the physical and social quality of the neighborhood. The neighborhood impact report is also to include: (a) the number of dwelling units housing persons and families of low or moderate income expected to be destroyed or removed from the low and moderate income housing market as part of the redevelopment project; (b) the number of persons and families (households) of low or moderate income expected to be displaced by the project; (c) the general location of housing to be rehabilitated, developed, or constructed pursuant to Section 33413 of the CRL; (d) the number of dwelling units housing persons and families of low and moderate income planned for construction or rehabilitation, other than replacement housing; (e) the projected means of financing the proposed dwelling units for housing persons and families of low and moderate income planned for construction or rehabilitation, and (f) a projected timetable for meeting the relocation, rehabilitation and replacement housing objectives. Although Area C is located within the Existing Project Area, and not a part of the proposed Amendment, discussion within this section of neighborhood impacts includes Area C because this area is a part of the proposed development project including the financing of the development of the Added Area. A. IMPACT ON RESIDENTS IN THE ADDED AREA AND SURROUNDING AREAS 1. Relocation The Added Area and Area C does not contain residential dwelling units of any income category; therefore, the proposed Amendment and the Existing Plan will not displace any low or moderate income persons or families. Approximately 750 residential units will be developed on Area A during the implementation phase of the Amendment. Additionally, 279 dwelling units will be developed in Area C. However, the Agency is not proposing to adopt eminent domain authority over these residential properties. Any voluntary displacement which occurs as a result of Agency redevelopment activities over the life of the Amendment (30 years) or for Area C will be mitigated by relocation assistance including financial payments, advisory assistance, and replacement housing plan provisions of state law relating to Agency assisted developments. Report to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 70 PA0306013.11AW MI)bd 14005.003.007/07 110/03 In general, residents will not be displaced unless and until there are suitable relocation facilities available for occupancy at rents or costs comparable to those paid at the time of displacement. The Agency will assist residents in finding housing, that is decent, safe and sanitary and within their financial means, in reasonably convenient locations and otherwise suitable to their needs. Any displacement which occurs as a result of Agency redevelopment activities will be mitigated by relocation assistance including financial payments, advisory assistance, and replacement housing plan provisions of state law relating to agency assisted developments. Additionally, although it is unlikely that the implementation of the proposed Amendment will require the temporary or permanent displacement and relocation of non - residential occupants within the Added Area and Area C, a method or plan for relocation has also been provided for non - residential occupants in the Added Area as described in Section VIII of this Report. In every case, the Agency will diligently use its best efforts to attempt to find relocation sites meeting the required needs of the individual business displaced by the Agency activity as required by law. Furthermore, the Agency will work with property owners to provide every opportunity for them to participate in the rehabilitation or redevelopment of their own properties and /or other properties in the Added Area and Area C as consistent with the proposed Amendment. The Agency will additionally offer re -entry opportunities where feasible to existing business owners and tenants on a preference basis. 2. Traffic Circulation The adoption of the proposed Amendment and related implementation activities will not add to local or regional traffic beyond what was analyzed in the Final EIS /EIR prepared for the LAAFB land conveyance, construction and development project. The Amendment is an implementation measure for the proposed development of the Added Area and Area C. The Amendment will be consistent with the General Plan planned land uses in the Added Area and Area C. However, the development of the Added Area and Area C will cause impacts to the circulation system that cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance and therefore are considered significant unavoidable impacts. 3. Environmental Quality The EIS /EIR, included under a separate cover as an attachment to this Report, presents information on the environmental assessment of the proposed Amendment. The analysis contained in the EIS /EIR found significant unavoidable environmental impacts associated with the proposed Amendment and development activities. These environmental issues include the following: aesthetics air quality, noise, public services (libraries and parks only), public services (solid waste only), and transportation. All other environmental issues as described in Section XII of this Report either had no Neport to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 71 PA0306013AMCK Od 14005.003.007MMUN3 environmental impacts or had environmental impacts that could be mitigated to a level of insignificance. 4. Community Facilities and Services The EIS /EIR prepared for the Amendment and the subsequent development project analyzed impacts on community services including fire protection, police protection, parks, libraries and schools and public utilities including water, sewer, natural gas, solid waste and electricity. Except for solid waste, no significant or potentially significant impacts were found or stated for any of the public utilities. In order to alleviate environmental impacts, the Proposed Amendment is intended to assist in funding the upgrading and installation of public improvements and facilities, which would include improvements to traffic, water, sewer, and drainage systems. Based upon the EIS /EIR generation factors for solid waste, the implementation of the proposed Amendment and the development of Area C could generate 2,663 additional pounds per day of solid waste. Due to the severity of the landfill shortage caused by regional growth, the mitigation measures outlined in the EIS /EIR would not reduce solid waste impacts to less than significant levels. Police /fire personnel, schools, libraries and parks provide a wide range of services that are affected by population increases. The Amendment would assist in the creation of residential development thus increasing the population for the area surrounding the Added Area and Area C over existing conditions by 2,264 people.25 Except for parks and libraries, the impacts to police protection, fire protection and schools would be less than significant as a result of the Amendment's implementation. Individual project review by these community service agencies, and development impact fees will provide adequate mitigation in that community services will not be impacted by physical environmental effects created by the proposed Amendment. Both the Police Department and the Fire Department will be given the opportunity to review and comment on the design of any proposed redevelopment project within the Added Area that could affect public or fire safety. Since the Wiseburn Library may not be adequate to accommodate the potential residential development population in Areas A and C, and due to a lack of feasible mitigation measures, impacts to library services would be significant and unavoidable. Since the City of Hawthorne is park deficient, the additional population increase as a result of residential development in Areas A and C would further impact an already substandard park service ratio; therefore, impacts to park services would be significant and unavoidable. Although not a substitute for City and zs Based upon 1,029 dwelling units and a average household size of 2.2 persons as stated in the Draft EIS /EIR Prepared for the Los Angeles Air Force Base Land Conveyance, Construction and Development Project. Keport to the City Council for the Third Amend Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0308013.HAW:CK:gbd 14005.003.007/07 /10/03 Page 72 County parks with recreational amenities, the residential development in Areas A and C will be landscaped and include open space areas. 5. School Population and Quality of Education Public education services within the Added Area are provided by the Wiseburn Elementary School District and the Centinela Valley Union High School District. Residential development that occurs in the Added Area would increase enrollment in local schools and increase student demand on local schools. Based upon the student generation factors described in the EIS /EIR, residential development within Areas A and C is expected to generate approximately 404 students. However, impacts to school services would be less than significant as a result of developer's impact fees. 6. Property Assessment and Taxes The proposed Amendment will not cause the property taxes paid by owners to increase. In general, taxable valuations of property within and adjoining should increase as development of that property occurs. New development within the Areas A and C will be assessed at market value, as determined by the assessor (Area B is a property tax exempt public facility). Regardless of whether property is in the Area A or Area C, the assessor may increase property valuations for existing properties at the maximum rate of two percent per year allowed under Proposition 13. In cases where property changes hands, the assessor will reassess the added value to property and improvements due to any new development or rehabilitation which occurs. Another matter potentially affecting property taxes in the Added Area and Area C and surrounding areas would be the possibility of additional levies resulting from formation of special assessment districts. The financing of the redevelopment program, as outlined in this Report (Section V), assumes the formation of a special assessment district within the Added Area and Area C to assist in offsetting the financial shortfall between the new Air Force improvements on Area B and a reasonable private sector return on investment on the development opportunity on Area A and Area C. B. RELOCATION AND LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING 7. Housing Units to be Destroyed or Removed There are no residences of any income category in the Added Area or Area C and the Proposed Amendment and the Existing Plan will not displace any low or moderate income persons or families. The Agency does not plan to acquire property within the Added Area or Area C. Furthermore, eminent domain may not be used by the Agency to Report to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 73 PA030r013.HAW:CK:gbd 1600&003.007N711 0N3 acquire property designated for residential land uses in the Added Area or the Existing Project Area which includes Area C. Should Agency acquisition by means other than eminent domain result in the removal of dwelling units occupied by person or families of low and moderate incomes, over the life of the 30 -year Amendment or the Existing Plan, the Agency will be required to construct develop or rehabilitate, or cause the construction, development or rehabilitation of, low and moderate income dwelling units equal in number to those destroyed or removed. These "replacement housing units" must be constructed within four years of their destruction or removal, and must be available at affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, persons in the same or a lower income category (low -, very-low or moderate) as the persons displaced from those destroyed or removed units. The units must remain affordable throughout the period of land use controls established in the proposed Amendment and the Existing Plan. For the purposes of this section the period of land use controls shall be equal to the affordability covenants set forth in the California Health and Safety Code Section 33334.3. 2. Projected Residential Displacement As mentioned above, the Agency does not have any plans, which would involve the removal of low and moderate income housing units or displacement of low and moderate income residents since none currently exist. However, within Area A, the Agency is proposing to assist in the development of 750 dwelling units and 279 units in Area C, which will consist of market rate housing. Should Agency displacement be contemplated over the life of the Amendment and the Existing Plan, the Agency will conduct individual household surveys to determine the exact number, type and, location of comparable replacement housing units and the required number of referrals thereto prior to displacement of any person of low or moderate income. Section VIII (Method and Plan for Relocation) of this Report provides an overview of the relocation process that must be undertaken by the Agency prior to displacing any person(s) or family(ies). 3. Number and Location of Replacement Housing Units There are currently no residential units of any income category in the Added Area or Area C. Should housing units be destroyed or removed in the future from the low and moderate income housing market by the Agency, suitable replacement housing locations pursuant to CRL Section 33413 are available within the Existing Project Area, or other areas of the City as identified in the General Plan as residential infill areas. The City Council and the Agency will make findings as may be necessary to provide such replacement housing. When the Agency acquires property, enters into a disposition and development agreement, participation agreement or other agreement, or Report to the City Council for the Third Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 74 PA0305013.HAW:CK:9bd 14005.003.007/07 /10103 undertakes any other activities requiring or causing the destruction or removal of housing units from the low and moderate income housing market, the Agency will provide replacement housing required pursuant to Section 33413 of the CRL and replacement housing plan pursuant to Section 33413.5. 4. Number and Location of Low and Moderate Income Housing Units Planned Other than Replacement Housing Since the Added Area is limited in size, it is anticipated that future housing development in the Added Area as a result of Agency activities will consist of only the 750 residential dwelling units that will be built in Area A over the next 10 years. Additionally, 279 residential units will be built in Area C over the next 10 -years. If these residential units are developed by individuals /groups other than the Agency as anticipated, then based upon the estimates above, 155 units will be made available to very low -, low, and moderate income persons and families over the next ten years. It is anticipated that these 155 units would be located within the Existing Project Area. In order to meet its inclusionary requirement described above, the Agency plans to assist in the construction, rehabilitation and preservation of low and moderate income housing in the Existing Project Area under its housing program. These housing programs are described in the Five -Year Implementation Plan for the Existing Project Area (Appendix A) and in Section VII of this Report for the Added Area and Area C. 5. Financing Method for Replacement Housing Requirements The Agency will employ as necessary any of the methods outlined in this Report to meet replacement housing requirements and other obligations under the Community Redevelopment Law. Not less than 20 percent of all taxes which may be allocated to the Agency pursuant to Section 33670 of the CRL shall be used by the Agency for purposes of increasing, improving, preserving the supply of low and moderate income housing available at affordable housing cost to persons and families of low or moderate income and very low- income households. This source of funding is expected to be utilized for replacement housing should the Agency be required to create such housing. - - • ­7 ....,.,"' lul lnG 1 mr0 Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 PA0308013.HAW:CK:9bd 14005.003.007MMM3 3tes, Inc.

Timetable for Provision of Relocation and Housing objectives If replacement housing is to be provided pursuant to Section 33413 of the CRL, the Agency shall take necessary steps to cause the construction, rehabilitation or development of such housing in accordance with the time limits prescribed by law. The relocation plan(s) prepared by the Agency for a particular development activity shall contain schedules to insure comparable replacement housing is available in accordance with the requirements of the CRL and the State Relocation Guidelines. C. OTHER MATTERS AFFECTING THE PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL QUALITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT The proposed development project assisted by redevelopment actions will assist in maintaining the LAAFB in the South Bay and therefore will help to stabilize the existing employment base. At the same time, redevelopment will provide a safe and more efficient work environment for Air Force personnel. In addition, the Amendment will provide more market rate and affordable housing opportunities within the Existing Project Area and Added Area.

REPORT OF THE COUNTY FISCAL OFFICER AND THE AGENCY'S ANALYSIS THEREOF, INCLUDING A SUMMARY OF CONSULTATIONS WITH AFFECTED TAXING AGENCIES Pursuant to Section 33352(n) of the CRL, this Report must include an analysis of the Fiscal Officer's Report and must include a summary of the consultations of the Agency, or attempts to consult by the Agency, with each of the affected taxing agencies. If any of the affected taxing agencies have expressed written objections or concerns with the proposed Amendment as part of these consultations, the Agency shall include a response to these concerns, additional information, if any, and, at the discretion of the Agency, proposed or adopted mitigation measures. A. THE REPORT OF THE COUNTY FISCAL OFFICER AND ANALYSIS THEREOF Section 33328 of the CRL requires the County officials charged with the responsibility of allocating taxes under Section 33670 and 33670.5 to prepare and deliver a report to the Redevelopment Agency (the "Fiscal Officer's Report "). Since the base year value for the Existing Project Area remains unchanged since the time of adoption, the Fiscal Officer's Report addresses the Added Area only. This Report shall include the following: a. The total assessed valuation of all taxable property within the Added Area as shown on the base value assessment roll; b. The identification of each taxing agency levying taxes in the Added Area; C. The amount of tax revenue to be derived by each taxing agency from the base value assessment roll from the Added Area, including state subventions for homeowners, business inventory, and similar subventions; d. For each taxing agency, its total ad valorem tax revenues from all property within its boundaries, whether inside or outside the Added Area; e. The estimated first year taxes available to the redevelopment agency, if any, based upon information submitted by the redevelopment agency, broken down by taxing agencies, and; The assessed valuation of the Added Area for the preceding year, or, if requested by the Agency, for the preceding five years, except for state assessed property on the board roll.

REPORT OF THE COUNTY FISCAL OFFICER On May 13, 2003, the Agency transmitted a notice to the County Auditor's Office of its intent to adopt the proposed Amendment and requested that the County Auditor prepare a Fiscal Officer's Report for the Added Area in compliance with CRL Section 33328. The Fiscal Officer's Report was submitted by the County of Los Angeles to the Agency on June 26, 2003 (Appendix E). The Fiscal Officer's Report details the taxing agencies which levy taxes in the Added Area and the one percent tax revenues allocated to each agency. These distributions were calculated for both the locally assessed secured and unsecured base value revenues. C. ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION The Total Assessed Valuation of All Taxable Property within the Added Area as Shown on the Base Year Assessment Roll The County has reported the following values for 2002 -03. The total value is $2,981,447. Of this amount, secured values represents $2,875,000 (96 percent of total value) and unsecured values $106,447 (four percent of total value). 2. The Identirication of each Taxing Agency Levying Taxes in the Added Area The Fiscal Officer's Report identified eleven (11) taxing agencies receiving ad valorem property tax revenues from the Added Area. These agencies are listed in the Fiscal Officer's Report included in this Report as Appendix E and include the following: • Los Angeles County (including County Library) • Los Angeles County Office of Education • Los Angeles County Flood Control District • City of El Segundo • Wiseburn Elementary School District • El Camino Community College District • Centinela Valley Union High School District • Los Angeles County Consolidated Fire Protection District • Los Angeles County West Vector Control District • Los Angeles County Sanitation District • Water Replenishment District of Southern California These taxing entities received notification of the intent to amend the redevelopment project, the Draft EIS /EIR, the Preliminary Report, and the Draft Amendment. • — •— —y �uul lul iu/ we i nird Amendment to the Keyser Marston Associates, Inc Redevelopment Plan for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 Page 79 PA0306D13.HAW:CKpEtl 14005.003.007/07 /10/03 3. The Amount of Tax Revenue to be Derived by each Taxing Agency from the Base Year Assessment Roll from the Added Area The Fiscal Officer's Report indicated that $29,814.4728 is one percent tax levy revenue to be generated from the 2002 -03 secured and unsecured base year value total. As shown in the table below, the revenue currently generated in the Added Area relative to the respective entities' share of property taxes countywide ranges from a high of 39.5 percent or $11,772.95 for Los Angeles County to a low of 0.02 percent or $5.66 for the Los Angeles County West Vector Control District. It should be noted that the respective taxing entities will continue to receive these base year property tax revenues over the life of the Amendment, in addition to statutory pass through allocations required under Health and Safety Code Section 33607.5.

The Estimated First Year Taxes Available to the Agency, if any. The County Fiscal Officer's Report submitted to the Agency did not provide this required information. However, the Agency has provided an estimate based upon the financial feasibility analysis contained in Section V of this Report. As shown in Table 5 in Section V, it is estimated that the first couple of years (2004 -05 and 2005 -06), the Agency will receive a minimal amount of net tax increment funds from Area A (Area B is tax exempt property). However, once development of portions of Area A have been completed, the Agency anticipates receiving approximately $340,000 in 2006 -07. This is based upon a total tax increment of $436,000, which will be reduced by the 20 percent housing set aside funds and the County's administration fees with the remaining amount of the funds being directed to the Agency.

The Assessed Valuation of the Added Area for the Preceding Year, or if Requested by the Agency, for the Preceding Five Years The County Fiscal Officer's Report submitted to the Agency identified the 2001 -02 secured and unsecured assessed valuation for the Added Area as $10,855,592, which compared with the 2002 -2003 base year value is a 73 percent decrease. The reason the assessed valuation decreased from 2001 -02 to 2002 -03 is because of a new leasehold interest that affected the possessorary interest assessment identified by the County Assessor's Office. The Agency did not request that the County Fiscal Officer prepare the assessed valuation for the preceding five years. D. SUMMARY OF CONSULTATIONS WITH AFFECTED TAXING AGENCIES Section 33328 of the CRL requires the Agency prior to the publication of a notice of the joint Public hearing on the proposed Amendment, to consult with each affected taxing agency with respect to the Amendment's impact on the allocation of tax increment revenues. On July 2, 2003, the Agency sent the draft Amendment, the Preliminary Report, and a letter (see Appendix F for sample letter and mailing list) to all affected taxing entities for the purpose of initiating the consultation process for the proposed Amendment. The letter urges all affected taxing entities to contact the Agency regarding questions concerning the proposed Amendment. Consultation meetings regarding the adoption of the Amendment have occurred continually with affected taxing entities, including the County of Los Angeles, since the start of the Amendment Process. A summary of all consultations will be provided at the joint public hearing as a supplement to this Report. Finally, in accordance with CRL Section 33349(d), on July 22, 2003 (or soon thereafter), the Agency will send to all of the affected taxing entities a Notice of Joint Public Hearing, which is scheduled for August 25, 2003. E. RESPONSES TO WRITTEN OBJECTIONS OR CONCERNS OF THE AFFECTED TAXING ENTITIES As of the preparation of this Report, no written objections or concern has been received by the Agency from affected taxing entities. If written objections or concerns are received, they will be submitted to the City Council at the joint public hearing in a supplement to this Report.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The City of Hawthorne has had an active interest in redevelopment dating back to the 1970's. The Hawthome Plaza, developed by Ernest Hahn Corporation in 1977, was the Redevelopment Agency's first project and features 133 stores including J.C. Penny's, The Broadway and Montgomery Ward, In 1984, the Agency created its.second redevelopment project area that includes over 900 acres of commercial frontage along mast ofthe City's mails arterials. The Agency's accomplishments since the establishment of its second project area include the following: - Costco, a membership sales distribution center, opened in June 1988. This 130,000 square foot wholesale(retail warehouse is situated on the northwest corner of Marine Avenue and the 405 Freeway. Xt continues to be an asset to the City and to the shoppers it serves. - The Ramada Inn, also completed in 1989, is located in the center of the Los Angeles aerospace community just west of the San Diego Freeway at.EI Segundo Boulevard. - Opened in 1991, Glen Court is a 31,000 square foot retail center located near the San Diego Freeway. GIen Court is home to Soup Exchange, Luigi's and Carl's Jr. restaurants, as well as to other quality retail establishments. - TELACU- Hawhhome Senior Gardens, completed it September 1988, was the first senior citizen housing development undertaken jointly by TELACU, the U.S. Department of Housing and the Agency. It is a 75 -unit low and moderate - income facility located on Doty Avenue. The Agency provided funding for an additional elevator and other 1 capital improvements. TELACU Terrace is the second senior citizen housing development undertaken jointly by TELACU, the U.S. Department of Housing and the Agency. Dedicated in October 1992, TELACU Terrace provides affordable housing, with state -of -the art amenities, to low - income senior citizens. The 3 million dollar, 75 -unit complex includes eight units designed specifically for the disabled. Situated at the corner of l I8th Street and GreviEca Avenue, TELACU Terrace stands directly across from Robert F. Kennedy Medical Center and a short walk from major shopping areas and other vital community facilities and services. The Agency provided funding for land acquisition, relocation and clearance of this site. The Oceangate Commerce Center is. located at the southeast comer of Rosecrans Avenue at the San Diego Freeway. This 36 -acre retail, office center is home to Toy's 'W' Us, SportMart, Staples, Kids "A" Us, Ross, Food 4 Less, Michael's and Home Depot. This center has brought many needed amenities and physical revitalization to the area it serves. The Agency will continue to focus on bringing high quality business establishments to this project until full MAR.19'2003 16:04 3106446685 build out is achieved. City of Hawthorne Planning #1179 P.003 - In December 1993, the Agency entered into an owner participation agreement with South Bay Ford, a new car dealership. The new ownership has increased business on Hawthorne Boulevard considerably. - In July 1994, the Agency entered into an owner participation agreement with Best Buy Corporation to build a 54,700 square foot consumer electronics store on 3.1 acres of land situated in the southwest portion of the city, adjacent to the Oceangate development. The facility opened its doors for business in November 1994. - . In October 1999, the agency entered into a Participation Agreement with S & W Towing and Storage Corporation to expand their vehicle towing and storage fi=lty onto the adjacent property. The acquisition of the additional property will allow the business to better serve the community. - In September 1999, the Agency entered into a Disposition and Development Agreement with VHB Associates, Inc., AUTONATION USA Corporation, and COSTCO WHOLESALE Corporation to develop a 44 -acre site on the west side of the 1 -405 freeway and south of Rosecrans Avenue. The project will include three auto center facilities, a new COSTCO retail facility with a gas station, a full service hotel, and additional retaillrestaurant facilities. COSTCO is anticipating opening in December 2000 with the rest of the development begimting construction in 2001. In May 1999, the Agency entered into the 5"' Implementation Agreement for the development of the final parcel of the Oceangate Commerce Center site.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The Housing implementation Plan implements the following requirements of the California Redevelopment Law: 1. An explanation of how the goals, 'objectives, programs and expenditures of the Redevelopment Implementation Plan will implement the affordable housing requirements of Redevelopment Law. (Section 33490 (a)(1)) 2. A description of the use of the Low and Moderate Income housing Fund to increase, improve and preserve the community's supply of housing at affordable housing cost. (Section 33334.2) 3. An explanation of how the expenditure of the Housing Fund to assist low and very low - income households will be done in proportion to their needs (Section 33334.4) 4. Preparation of a plan to oomply with the project area housing production (or inclusionary) obligations. (Section 333413) B. GOALS AND OBJECTIVE Among the goals and objectives of the Agency, the following will implement the affordable housing requirements: 1. Alleviation of the impact resulting from the I -105 Freeway, including potential land use conflicts. The construction and completion of the I -105 Freeway has resulted in residential use located between Imperial Highway and the 1 -105 Freeway. The parcelization of the property and the multiple ownerships involved to secure a viable development project make it almost impossible for private development to succeed. 2. Preservation and improvement of the'City's current low and moderate income housing stock The use of 20% set -aside funds in combination with the Home program funds to provide opportunities for low and moderate - income first time homebuyers. The program also provides funds for rehabilitation and repairs to low and moderate- income homeowners. 3. Increase in the number of low and moderate - income housing units within the City. The 5 MAR.19'2003 16:05 3106446685 City of Hawthorne Planning #1179 P.007 Agency has acquired vacant land and proposes . to develop a 10.20 unit condominium project for low and moderate- ineome seniors. As additional housing set -aside funds become available the Agency will be able to develop and contribute to the development of additional projects. C. PROGRAMS AND EXPENDITURES The following summarizes the programs and expenditures planned by the ,Agency for the Project Area No. 2 in the 5 -year period covered by this plan that will implement the affordable housing requirements: 1. Tax increment committed to 1994 Tax Allocation Bond Issue, including the portion secured by 20% Housing Set -Aside monies. 2. Administrative costs associated with implementation of the Redevelopment Plan, including certain housing administrative costs. 3. Tax increment committed to 20% Housing Set -Aside 4. 20% Housing Set -Aside committed to the First Time Home -Buyer Program and the Housing Rehab program. S. Work with HUD and the City's Housing Authority to develop an approach andlor program that will provide financial resources for the preservation of the affordable at risk rental units. 6. 20% Housing Set -Aside committed to the Crime Free Multi-Family Housing Program 7. 20% Housing Set -Aside funds committed to the development of a multifamily /senior citizen housing project on the agency's property located at 116* Street and Gale Avenue. D. IMPLEMENTATION OF HOUSING REQUIREMENTS This portion of the Plan document addresses the Agency's housing, responsibilities, including sections addressing Health and Safety Code Sections 33334.2, 33334.4, 33334.6 and 33413. 1. Increase, Improve and Expand the Supply of Low and Moderate Income Housing. (Section 33334.2). a. Housing Fund Amounts Table I on the following page shows the amount available in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund and the estimated amounts, which will be deposited in the Fund during each of the next five years. b. Housing Program The expenditures of monies from the Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund during each of the five years between 2000 -2004 are shown in Table, 1. N. MAR.19'2003 16:05 3106446685 City of Hawthorne Planning #1179 P.008 Table 1 Hawthome.RedeveJopment Agency Project Area No. 2 Housing Fund Amounts - First-Time Homebuyer program during the five -year period. This program will 'emphasize the existing bousing supply through two coordinated efforts. The first will contribute to the conversion of existing apartment buildings to owner- occupied housing units. The second will focus on the resale of the single -family housing market. Financial assistance will be provided to first -time homebuyers in the form of help with the down payment and closing costs. 7 MAR.19'2003 16:05 3106996685 City of Hawthorne Planning 01179 P.009 Based on an average assistance per household/housing unit of 520, follows: 000, the number of housing units to be assisted during each of the next five years is as 2000 8 units 20018 units 2002 8 units 2003 8 units 2004 8 units 40 units All the affordable housing assisted by the Agency will be subject to recorded covenants that will restrict the housing 'to low, moderate or very low income persons or families at affordable rents for the longest feasible time but not less than 30 years in the cafe of rental housing and 10 years in the case of ownership housing. - Crime Free Multi - Family housing program.. Crime Awareness will be' addressed by the Crime Free N4ultihousing Progorn. Housing quality, safety, and crime prevention through property improvement to improve the living environment Of the highest density residential areas of the City. The high- density residential areas abut the agency's Project Area No. 2 and impact the economic viability of the project area. The City has determined the need to continue with code enforcement effork� in low and moderate - income neighborhoods and slum/blighted areas. The program will continue to work with police to create crime free multi - family housing units throughout the City. The City will conduct 7,500 code enforcement inspections in the next five years. Construction of a 10 to 20 -unit multi- family condominium senior citizen housing, project. The Agency acquired two adjacent parcels of land (total lot area 35,411 square feet) in 1997 for development of a housing project. The parcel will accommodate 14 units pursuant to the existing R -3 High Density Residential Zone. The Agency will assist a project developer in obtaining a minimum 20% density bonuses as provided for in state ]rousing law. The A,genoy, further proposes to assist the project by contributing the land and an additional $889,767 in Housing Set -aside Funds to insure the affordability of the project 2. Proportion of Very Low, Low and Moderate Income Housing. The Agency's plan during the next 10 years is that the housing units assisted will be affordable to the very low, low or moderate income households in the following propordon: Very Low Income, 25 %; Low Income, 20%; and Moderate Income, 23 "�,. This proportion of very low, low and moderate income units is the same as the proportion that the total number of housing units needed for these income groups (which MAR.19'2003 16:06 3106446685 City of Hawthorne Planning #1179 P.010 are not being provided by other governmental programs) bears to the total number of units needed for persons of moderate, low and very Iow income in the City. Housing need is based on the City's share of the regional housing need. This need is quantified in the City's Housing Element based on the Regional Housing Needs Assessment prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments. The need is distributed among the very low, low, moderate, and above moderate - income groups as follows: 3. Estimate of Housing Production Pigmt- Project Area No. 2 (Section 33490 (a)(2)). a. Housing Units to be Developed or Purchased As explained below, the Agency does not have an affordable housing production obligation in Project Area No. 2. Therefore, no housing production will be targeted to Project Area No. 2. The Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund may be used both inside and outside the boundaries of project Area No 2, As stated earlier, the Agency will be assisting a multi - family condominium senior housing project containing 10 to 20 units. The all ofthe units will be available to moderate income seniors. b. Housing Units required to be developed Section 33413 (b)(4) requires the Agency to adopt a plan to Comply with the inclusionary housing requirements of Sections 334 13 (b)(1) and (2). The housing production requirements of state Redevelopment Laws are: - At least 30% of all new or rehabilitated dwelling units developed by ari agency must be available at affordable housing cost to low or moderate income households and not less than 50% of that 30% must be for very low income households. An agency may address this requirement on a citywide basis. None of the'assistance provided or level of involvement to date by the agency has triggered the 30% requirement. At ]east 15% of all new or rehabilitated dwelling units developed within the redevelopment project area by public or private entities or persons other than the agency must be available at affordable housing cost to low or moderate income households and not less than 40% of this 15% be for very low income households: (California health & Safety Code Section 33413(b)(2)) In Project Area No. 2, 413 housing units have been constructed since. November 1984, resulting in an affordable housing requirement of 62 housing units. In Project Area No. 2, 75 affordable'housing units with long -term affordability restrictions have been developed. A1175 of the units are available to the very low, low or moderate - income tenant. The tenant rents in the project are subsidized by HUD, therefore, no tenant in the project will pay more that 30% of their income for rent; and only tenants with incomes MAR.19'2003 16:06 3106446685 City of Hawthorne Planning #1179 P.011 that fall within the very low, low, and moderate - income limits as set by p= are eligible for the units. Therefore, the Agency has no obligation at this time to develop affordable housing within Project Area No. 2. C. Explanation of Current Production Obligation "Substantial rehabilitation" is defined as rehabilitation which equals 25% of the after rehabilitation value of the dwelling, including land value. None of the housing units rehabilitated in the project Areas, since the plans were adopted, meet this threshold; therefore, there is no production obligation associated with the past rehabilitation activity, Redevelopment Project Area No. 2 was adopted in November 1984. Since that time, 413 housing units have been constructed. The affordable housing production obligation is as follows: Very Low Income . 25 , Very Low, Low or Moderate Income 37 Since November 1984, 75 affordable housing units with long -term affordability restrictions have been constructed outside ofProject Area No. 2. All 75 of the units are available to the very low, low or moderate - income tenant. The tenant rents in the project are subsidized by HM, therefore, ao tenant in the project will pay more that 3014 of their income for rent; and only tenants with incomes that fall within the very low, low, and moderate - income limits as set by HM are eligible for the units. These units count toward the agency's affordability housing obligation on a two £or one basis: a one unit credit is given to the Project Area's obligation for every two housing units constructed. Therefore, a credit of 37 affordable units is earned from the development built outside the Project Area No.2 boundaries. In summary, the affordable housing obligation is 62 housing units. A total of 150 affordable housing units have been built and10 -20 units are proposed. As a result, the Agency has a surplus credit of 88 affordable housing units (98 -108 units including the proposed). 4. Consistency with the Housing Element The General Plan Housing Element contains several goals, objectives and policies and programs that relate to the Redevelopment Agency and Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. The Housing Element contains the following statements: • To increase the home ownership rate in the City through the develo housing. pment of new owner - occupied • To assist first -time homebuyers in the purchase of housing. The Agency's First Time Nome Buyer Program, therefore, is consistent with the Housing Element. The Housing Element numerical goals by income group are listed below: 10 MAR.19'2003 16:07 3106446685 City of Hawthorne Planning #1179 P.012 Above Moderate 189 32% Regional Share Need 597 1009/8 The above income group objectives are consistent with the "proportional" distribution recommended as part of the Housing Implementation Plan. 5. Replacement Housing None of the proposed programs or potential projects identified in this Implementation Plan will result in the destruction or removal of dwelling units that will have to be replaced pursuant to Section 33413 (a). 11 MAR_19'2003 16:07 3106446685 City of Hawthorne Planning #1179 P1013 APPENDIX A HOUSING UNITS CONSTRUCTED IN REDE'VEL'OPMENT PROJECT AREA N0.2 This section explains the methodology used in determining the number of housing units constructed since the adoption of Redevelopment Project Area No.. 2, and a Projection of future units to -be constructed. The first step in the process was determining locations of residential land uses (from the 01y's General Plan land use maps) that were located within the Redevelopment Project Area No 2. Once these areas were identified, they were then compared to the results from a detailed lot-by-lot field survey completed in 19SS. For example, during the 1988 survey, the number of units existing on each parcel was identified. This served two purposes. First, these areas can be compared to the results of the 1988 survey in order to determine if any units were constructed after the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan. Second, the current land use /zoaing designation can be compared to the Redevelopment Plan boundaries in order to determine the potential for future new residential construction. The results are summarized in 'fable 2. 12 MAR.19'2003 16:07 3106446695 City of Hawthorne Planning 91179 P.014 TABLE 2 • CTTX OF HAIMORNE NUMBER OF POTENTIAL NM HoUsiN(; %TN1'TS 'WITHIN THE RBDEVETAPMNT PROJECT AREA City Units Potential Number ndex o structed -of w units A -13 A -14 B -9 B-12 C-4 C-5 C -6 C -7 C -8 C -9 C -10 C -11 C-12 D4 D -5 D -6 D -7 D-8 D -9 D -10 D-11 D -13 E-4 E -5 lib E8 E -9 8-10 &11 E -12 F-4 F -5 F -7 0 5 New Units; Existing to 13 None None None None None Nome None None None None None None None None None None Remain None None None None None Some Potential None None None None None None None Deannexed None None MAR. 19'2003 16:07 3106446695 City of Hawthorne Planning #1179 P.015 TABLE 2 (CONTINUED) CITY OF HA.WTHORNE NUMBER OF POTENTIAL NEW HOUSING UNITS V TEiIN THE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA City Units Potential Number Index-Rape Constructed Of New Units F -8 None F -9 None F-10 None F -11 10 None F-I2 19 None F -14 None F -15 None G`5 None G-9 175 (75 by Telacu, 100 Cal Trans) G-10 None G -12 None H -11 None H-22 128 (114 by Lewis Homes) None H -13 32 new (at 14330 Cerise) 14 APPENDIX B Preliminary Plan and Related Planning Commission and Agency Resolutions PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2003-12 RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE AMENDING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE HAWTHORNE REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NO.2 AND APPROVING A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE PRELIMINARY PLAN WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Hawthorne (the "City Council') adopted Ordinance No. 1330 on November 26,1984, approving and adopting the Redevelopment Plan (the "Redevelopment Plan") for the Hawthorne Redevelopment Project No. 2 (the "Project "); and WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 84 -55, adopted on August 13,1984, the Planning Commission of the City of Hawthorne (the "Planning Commission ") selected and designated the existing boundaries of the Project Area and approved a Preliminary Plan (the "Preliminary Plan") for the Project; and WHERAS, the Planning Commission approved and adopted Resolution No. 2003 -07, on April 2, 2003, amending the Preliminary Plan for the Redevelopment Plan which added certain territory to the Project Area, being a portion of the Los Angeles Air Force Base (LAAFB ") referred to as "Area A;" WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 6792 adopted on May 12, 2003, the City Council, upon further consideration, further amended the boundaries of the redevelopment survey area to include other territory within the LAAFB, known as "Area B;" WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Hawthorne ( "Agency ") now proposes to include both Areas A and B (the "Added Area ") within the boundaries of the Project; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that it is in the public interest to further amend the Preliminary Plan to include the both Area A and Area B in the Added Area; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission desires to amend the Preliminary Plan for the Project and submit said second amendment to the Agency; NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

The purpose of the Third Amendment is to add certain territory ( "Added Area ") totaling approximately 111 acres to the Existing Project Area. The Added Area is located within Los Angeles Air Force Base ( "Base ") property at the intersection of Aviation and El Segundo Boulevards and consists of one contiguous area containing two distinct areas referred to as Area A and Area B. The Air Force proposes to consolidate all Base activities within Area B, freeing up Area A and Area C (within the Existing Project Area) for residential development by an Air Force selected developer. In exchange; the developer would construct 560,000 square feet of administrative and special purpose facilities within Area B. Implementing the proposed Third Amendment will facilitate the development projects described above. The Agency may undertake a variety of activities to facilitate the development of Areas A and B including, but not necessarily be limited to, construction of sewer lines, storm drains, traffic and circulation improvements; assist in demolition, relocation, site preparation and building construction. The Agency would also assist in creating affordable housing to targeted income categories representing 15 percent of the total new units developed. In order to give all property owners, business owners and tenants in the Existing Project Area and Added Area an opportunity to understand the goals of redevelopment and the redevelopment process, the Agency has scheduled this information meeting. The informational meeting will contain a presentation by Agency and Base staff followed by a question and answer session. The Agency will make available at the meeting for review by the public the following: 1) maps of the Existing Project Area and Added Area; 2) the Amended Redevelopment Plan; and 3) the Owner Participation Rules (Rules Governing Participation by Property Owners and the Extension of Reasonable Preferences to Business Occupants).

The purpose of the Amendment is to add certain territory ( "Added Area ") totaling approximately 111 acres to the Existing Project Area. The Added Area is located within Los Angeles Air Force Base ('Base ") property at the intersection of Aviation and El Segundo Boulevards and consists of one contiguous area containing two distinct areas referred to as Area A and Area B. The Air Force proposes to consolidate all Base activities within Area B, freeing up Area A and Area C (within the Existing Project Area) for residential development by an Air Force selected private sector developer. In exchange, the developer would add new administrative and special purpose facilities consisting of 560,000 square feet within Area B. Implementing the proposed Third Amendment will facilitate the development projects described above. On June 23, 2003, the Agency, by Resolution No. 367, authorized the transmittal of the Preliminary Report prepared for the Third Amendment in accordance with Section 33344.5 of the Community Redevelopment Law (CRL) to the County of Los Angeles and all other affected taxing agencies. The enclosed Preliminary Report is transmitted for the purpose of facilitating consultations with affected taxing entities pursuant to CRL Section 33328. Also on June 23, 2003, the Agency, by Resolution No. 365, authorized the transmittal of the draft Third Amendment to the Planning Commission of the City of Hawthorne for their report and recommendation. The enclosed draft Third Amendment is transmitted to the County of Los Angeles and all other affected taxing entities for informational purposes. Please call Helen Ramirez, Senior Planner, at (310) 970 -7939 regarding any questions concerning the Third Amendment adoption process and the related attached documents or scheduling of consultation meetings.

Re: Los Angeles Air Force Base Project, EA No. 577 Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) IGR/CEQA No. 030721/EK SCH No. 2002071106 We have received the response to comments section of the FEIR dated July 2003 for the Los Angeles Air Force Base Project (LAAFB) referenced above, right. We have the following comments on the Response. We are mainly concerned about the assumption that certain County criteria determin for evaluating effects on the State Highways, We note e policy the Response Number e policy Volume II of the FEIR, from which we quote here a sentence that appears on page 11. in 2 -76: "The Proposed Action is the Preferred Project of the USAF and would not result in an y significant traffic impacts to freeway segments under CMP criteria." That statement exists in the context of applying criteria from the Los Angeles County Congestion Management Program (CMP). Also we note the second sentence of Response Number W3 -2 that appears on page 11.2 -78: "No mitigation measures are required of the Proposed Action because no significant traffic impacts would be created to freeway segments." From the Los Angeles County CMP Appendix D "Guidelines for CMP Traffic Impact Analysis ", of section DA fourth item, we quote: "Caltrans must also be consulted through the Notice of preparation (NOP) process to identify other specific locations to be analyzed in the state highway system." We also quote here from the current Caltrans traffic studies Guide that we referenced in our letters, from Part II. "WHEN A TRAFFIC STUDY IS NEEDED' Section A. Trip "Generation Thresholds ", element a) of item three. This item is in reference to conditions in which any amount at all of additional traffic during peak hours would warrant analysis that could deal with mitigation: "Affected State highway facilities experiencing significant delay; unstable or forced traffic flow conditions (LOS "E" or Incidentally, such forced flow conditions exist on State Route freeways near the Project. ) We noted in our letter of May 21, 2003 that: "Caltrans facilities are located within counties; however, the counties do not have final word on management of Caltrans facilities within their geographical boundaries." `Caltrans improoes mobility across California" Mr. Paul Garry page 2 of 2 July 10, 2003 Therefore we believe that the Project traffic study should have included more consideration Of cumulative impacts on the State Route freeways. It should have included consideration of any shares of impacts due to the Project. FEIR Response W3 -1 mentions the idea of a "program in place to implement fair -share traffic mitigation for all projects that contribute traffic to freeways in the project area ". Even without a program to assess mitigation shares fr om "all projects ", however, it would be feasible to consider what a share from a single project might be. Following that, some mitigation funded at least partly by that share could be considered to compensate for effects of that project. Such project - funded mitigation could be made complementary to other mitigations (regardless of their funding) that would be implemented to deal with all of the cumulative impacts. As we stated in our previous letters, then, we remain open to meeting with the responsible parties to discuss opportunities for mitigation of effects on Caltrans facilities and to discuss cost share. We would hope to express our approval of the traffic mitigation for the Project. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please refer to IGR/CEQA No. 030721/EK and contact me at (213)897-4429. Sincerely, STEPHEN J.

One of my major concerns is the increased traffic, on El Segundo, Aviation and Roscrans Boulevards. My second concern, which I believe could be a result of the increased traffic, is that more cars will 'cut through" our neighborhood trying to avoid the increased traffic on the above named major boulevards. I do not want this to happen to the Del Aire or Hollyglen areas as I'm sure you, as a home owner, and the El Segundo residents would not want it to happen to your residential area. Thank you for your time.

Calemine Executive Officer Local Agency Formation Commission 700 N. Central Avenue, Suite 350 Glendale, CA 91203 Dear Larry: I am the Managing Partner of Kearny Real Estate Company. A partnership of Kearny, Morgan Stanley Real Estate Fund IV, and Catellus Development Corporation (collectively "SAMS, LLC ") was selected by the Air Force to develop their new Los Angeles Air Force Base campus as part of a much needed modernization plan. Detailed information regarding the modernization plan can be found at www.laafb.net. I would like to thank LAFCO staff for the tremendous support and assistance you have provided to date. As you know, Los Angeles Air Force Base is an enormous economic engine for the Los Angeles area. Direct and indirect jobs tied to the base are estimated to be 65,000 and annual payroll tied to the Base is $3.3 billion. Current contracts managed by the base total approximately $60 billion at any one time. Based on the condition of the facilities, we believe Los Angeles Air Force Base has a very good chance of being closed during the next round of base closures. The modernization plan is critical to the region's efforts to maintain the base. The Reorganization Agreement between El Segundo and Hawthorne to annex property from El Segundo to Hawthorne is a testament of the community support, tenacity and creativity that is being brought to bear to modernize Los Angeles Air Force Base. On behalf of SAMS, LLC, I also want to inform the LAFCO staff and commission that SAMS, LLC fully supports the Reorganization Agreement and the resolutions of application that have been passed by the Cities of El Segundo and Hawthorne. Your actions as to this annexation are critical to the modernization effort. Please call if I can provide additional information. Again, thank you for all your efforts to date.

Response to Issues Raised in Caltrans letter to Paul Garry dated July 10 2003 Issue 1: Significance Criteria Caltrans suggests that the traffic analysis should not have used LA County CMP criteria to determine the significance of impacts. Response: a. Caltrans does not indicate what threshold the traffic analysis should have been used. The only possibility is that the threshold should have been taken from the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies, December 2002 ( Caltrans Guide). However, the section of the Caltrans Guide quoted in the comment refers to criteria for "determining when a TIS (Traffic Impact Study) is needed" ( Caltrans Guide, p.2). The Caltrans Guide does not identify any criteria for determining the significance of impacts. b. The traffic study prepared for the Proposed Project is consistent with the criteria for determining whether a TIS is needed because the study was prepared and it addressed impacts to all state highways (freeways) that could be impacted by the Proposed Project. C. Because the Caltrans Guide does not include thresholds for determining significant impacts to state highways, the traffic study prepared for the Proposed Project utilized the significance threshold established by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority under the Congestion Management Program (CMP). This threshold is part of the Los Angeles County CMP land use analysis program required under Government Code Section 65089. d. Under the LACMTA significance threshold utilized in the traffic study prepared for the Proposed Project and reflected in the Draft EIR, the Proposed Project would not result in significant impacts to freeway segments and therefore no mitigation is required. Issue 2: Consultation Caltrans quotes the requirements of the LA County CMP Guidelines that Caltrans be consulted to identify "other specific locations to be analyzed in the state highway system." Response: Consultation with Caltrans was undertaken as part of the NOP process tate and all s highways that could be impacted by the Proposed Project were included in the traffic analysis conducted for the project. Caltrans submitted a letter in response to the NOP that requested that the EIR study effects on state highways. Issue 3: Fair Share Mitigation Caltrans contends that consideration of "shares of impacts due to the Project" should be included as a basis for identifying project - funded mitigation. Response: a• Caltrans suggests that it would be feasible to consider what a share from a single project might be, even in the absence of a program that applies to all projects that contribute to the impact. b• Although not specifically identified in this letter, formulas for calculating "Equitable Share Responsibility" and "Equitable Cost" are contained in Appendix B to the Caltrans Guide. Presumably Caltrans would follow its own guidelines and use these formulas for calculating project- related shares of impacts and mitigation costs. Without conceding that significant impacts to freeways would result from the Proposed Project, based upon application of the appropriate significance threshold, it is not feasible to apply the formulas contained in Appendix B of the Caltrans Guide (C -1, "Equitable Share Responsibility" and C -2, "Equitable Cost ") to this project. i. Equation C -I in Appendix B requires calculation of the difference between the existing and projected peak hour volumes on the affected freeway, where existing volumes are also defined to include "other approved projects that will generate traffic that have yet to be constructed." The Caltrans Guide does not specify how projects meeting these criteria are to be identified. The related Projects list identified in the EIR includes, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines, projects that are proposed but not approved, along with projects that are approved but not yet constructed. Application of the criteria contained in the Caltrans Guide would require considerably more precise information than is reflected in an EIR related projects list in order to perform this calculation. The lead agency does not have the precise information on the approval or construction status of projects outside its jurisdiction that would be needed in order to perform this calculation. Also, since the trips resulting from projects meeting these criteria are being removed from the projected freeway traffic growth under this formula, presumably these trips would have been mitigated. Determination of which trips have been mitigated would only be available from Caltrans and would therefore require input from Caltrans that has not been Provided, in order to perform the calculation. ii. In addition, even if a percentage of "equitable share responsibility^ could be calculated, that percentage is to be applied to the "total cost estimate for improvements necessary to mitigate the forecasted traffic demand on the impacted State highway facility in question at general plan build -out. (Equation C -2)" Caltrans has not identified any projects for the affected freeways, much less a total package of improvements to deal with forecasted traffic demand many years out, or provided any of the required cost estimates. Thus, the lead agency does not have the information necessary to perform this calculation. j. Finally, as noted in the responses to comments (Response No. W3 -2), the "equitable share" formulas presented in Appendix B to the Caltrans Guide are, according to Caltrans, "neither intended as, nor does it establish, a legal standard for determining equitable responsibility and cost of a projects traffic impact. " TRANSCRIPT 7/15/03 CITY COUNCIL MEETING KYLE ORLEMMAN, HOLLY GLEN RESIDENT The thing I would like to make you aware of is if this property comes into Hawthorne more and more residents, not only in Holly Glen but the City of Hawthorne as well, are becoming aware of the downside of the project and having this project come into Hawthorne and becoming part of the redevelopment project area. We are going to have the problems of State mandated 20% low cost housing, we are already having freezes on our City services and freezes on our hiring. A number of redevelopment projects that we have been promised over the years have not been done because we don't have the money. Hawthorne has just had a horrendous time of trying to balance its budget. We don't have the money to carry this project. And more and more people in Hawthorne are becoming aware of the tax problems that this project is going to cause. The more and more Hawthorne gets involved in this, the more and more people are going to protest and are going to do every legal means we can to slow down, or delay, or stop this project. So if the goal is to keep the Air Force Base here, sending it into Hawthorne is basically a situation where everybody is getting more and more aware of this and it is going to be more and more organized. I have had a number of calls in the last few days from other citizens in Hawthorne who have already contacted the Howard Jarvis Group and they are looking seriously into starting a lawsuit to prevent this project from going on. If you give it to us we are going to do everything we can to stop it and delay it in terms of this high density housing project in a redevelopment area. If you need the base to stay here you need to keep it under your jurisdiction so we don't have that action available to us because more and more people are jumping on the bandwagon. More and more homeowners are seeing the true information, more and more people are finding out that there is no Ikea, there is no Wallmart, that the 3500 daily trips we are told if this goes residential... o.k. the 3000 people that are going to live in this area you're saying that there are only going to be 3500 traffic trips per day. What are they going to do? Go you in the morning and not come back at night? We also got all the problems with the traffic figures. It did not take into account in the EIR/EIS, did not mention the Aviation widening which the people in Hawthorne are going to fight tooth - and -nail. It also does not deal with the traffic figures coming in with our Corporate Campus project. We also have new development going in at Rosecrans and Isis which is going to tie up that traffic even more and now we understand that you are in the process of trying to put a Fry's at 135' and Aviation, right across from our neighborhood, which again we will fight that project tooth- and -nail. It would have additional Problems with additional controlled intersections being needed. Hawthorne would have problems with paying for the extra City services, we believe transferring this into Hawthorne is going to be a disaster for us and unfortunately we are going to have to fight it so if you want to keep the Base here please keep it in your jurisdiction and please take a serious look at rebuilding on Area A. It can be done and it solves the problems for everybody and keeps everything in the jurisdiction it is now and keeps us with our good neighbors, the Base.
