REVIEWED BY: DATE:
rt.City Ma r Y StManager
On October 9, 2003, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2555, recommending
City Council approval of Environmental Assessment No. 621 and Specific Plan Amendment
No. 03 -3, a third amendment to the DSP. A complete copy of the Planning Commission staff
report is attached and contains the full draft text recommended by the Planning Commission.
The subject of this third amendment is the creation of a parking in -lieu fee program. Such a
program is intended to allow the payment of a fee in -lieu of providing required on -site parking
for new development in the DSP district.
A parking in -lieu fee is one way of encouraging development where there is little or no ability to
provide parking on -site as is the case in cities with older downtowns and historic areas such as
El Segundo. This fee is similar to the developer mitigation fees, which are imposed on new
development (police, fire, library) and collected for a specific purpose. As is the case with
such developer fees, there would be no pre -set limitation on the amount of fees that could be
collected. The amount collected would be dependent upon the amount of new construction
that might occur in the downtown. Most commonly, parking in -lieu fees are deposited in a
special fund and used to pay for additional off - street parking and related facilities. There are
similar programs in place in nearby communities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and
Culver City as well as in many cities throughout the state. In addition to providing an option to
property owners who might otherwise be unable to expand or upgrade their property, an in -lieu
fee can help to pay for public parking. And, public parking is shared among many users, thus
allowing the more efficient use of parking resources.
The payment of the one -time in -lieu fee (which does not grant the right to use a specific
parking space) would be non - refundable and payable prior to the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy. It would be an option for anyone adding commercial floor area to a building or
constructing a new building in the downtown. Additionally, any new residential units that would
be converted to commercial use would also be subject to the fee if on -site parking for the
commercial floor area could not be provided. Since new residential units are required to be
owner /tenant occupied, there is no parking requirement for such units. However, if such a unit
were converted to a commercial use in the future, it would then be subject to parking
requirements as a commercial use. The parking in -lieu fee could be used to offset that new
parking requirement. A summary sheet entitled, Commonly Asked Questions, is attached to
this report (Exhibit G) to further explain the program.
Recommended In -Lieu Fee
Regarding setting the amount of the in -lieu fee, staff secured the services of RSG, Inc., a real
estate firm that consults principally to government agencies. In their report (shown as an
attachment to the Draft Fee Resolution — Exhibit C), RSG established the limits within which
the fee could be legally set. They then recommended $7,500 as the amount, which, in their
opinion, would serve an incentive to property owners because it was at the lowest end of the
possible fee levels the City could charge. However, after consulting with property owners and
developers, staff thinks that some of the assumptions used by RSG were too low. With some
adjustments to the assumptions used by RSG (i.e., expected rent levels), a slightly higher fee
of $12,500 would be affordable for local owners. According to further analysis, projects would
still maintain their feasibility yet an incentive would be provided for property owners to expand
their properties because the fee would still be lower than the cost of actually providing the
parking.
Money collected under the program would be deposited in a special fund and used for the
0l�
3
acquisition and development of off - street parking and related facilities to accommodate future
development and /or to pay costs associated with the City's lease of 100 spaces in the parking
structure at 121 W. Grand Avenue.
If the Program and fee were implemented as recommended, by the end of the fiscal year,
$125,000 in revenue might be generated from the payment of in -lieu fees for ten spaces.
While this number may seem low, it should be remembered that the fee is not due until the
completion of any private development projects in the downtown. This means that to generate
$125,000 in revenue for FY 03 -04, projects would have to be planned and completed between
now and September 30, 2004.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
NO. 621 AND SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 03 -3, SUBMITTED
BY THE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO, TO AMEND THE DOWNTOWN
SPECIFIC PLAN TO ESTABLISH A PARKING IN -LIEU FEE

application was reviewed by the City's Department of Community,
Economic and Development Services for, in part, consistency with the
General Plan and conformity with the El Segundo Municipal Code
( "ESMC ");
B. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under
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);
C. The Department of Community, Economic and Development Services
completed its review and scheduled a public hearing regarding the
application before the Planning Commission for October 9, 2003;
D. On October 9, 2003, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the application
including, without limitation, information provided to the Planning

recommending that the City Council approve the proposed project;
E. On November 5, 2003 the City Council held a public hearing and
considered the information provided by City staff and public testimony.
This Resolution and its findings, are made based upon the evidence
presented to the Council at its November 5, 2003 hearing including,
without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Department of
Community, Economic and Development Services.
01
SECTION 2: Factual Findings. The Council finds that the following facts exist:
A. The subject sites affected are primarily within the borders of the
Downtown Specific Plan area which include the 100 -500 block of Main
Street, the 100 -300 block of Richmond Street and the 100 -200 blocks of
West Grand Avenue;
B. Parking created using in -lieu fees may be located outside the boundaries
of the Downtown Specific Plan;
C. The current parking requirements for the DSP requires parking be
provided on -site for additions to buildings and construction of new
buildings.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The City of El Segundo prepared an Initial
Study. Based upon the analysis and conclusions set forth in that Study, the project
would not cause any significant environmental impacts. Accordingly, a Negative
Declaration may be issued for this project.
SECTION 4: Specific Plan Findings. After considering the above facts, the Council
finds as follows:
A. The General Plan Land use designation for the project is Downtown
Specific Plan.
B. The proposed amendment to the Downtown Specific Plan is consistent
with the General Plan land use designation for the properties involved.
C. The proposed amendment to establish a parking in -lieu fee would further
General Plan goals, objectives, and policies to preserve and maintain the
City's downtown (Objective LU1 -4), help create and integrated,
complimentary, and attractive multi -use downtown (Objective LU 4 -2), and
would revitalize and upgrade commercial areas (Policy LU- 4 -2.1) by
creating the opportunity for growth in the downtown area.
D. This amendment could facilitate the construction of additional floor area in
the DSP that is already permitted to occur by providing a mechanism for
on -site parking to be eliminated through the payment of a parking in -lieu
fee.
SECTION 5: Notice of Determination. The City manager, or designee, is directed to file
a Notice of Determination in accordance with Pub. Res. Code §§ 21152, 21157(f); 14

E. On November 5, 2003 the City Council held a public hearing to receive
public testimony and other evidence regarding the application including,
without limitation, information provided to the City Council by Department
of Community, Economic and Development Services, and adopted
Resolution No. approving Environmental Assessment No. 621 for
Specific Plan Amendment No. 03 -3; and,
F. On November 5, 2003 the City Council held a public hearing and
considered the information provided by City staff and public testimony.
This Ordinance and its findings, are made based upon the evidence
presented to the Council at its November 5, 2003 hearing including,
without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Department of
Page 1 of 4 0 1
Community, Economic and Development Services.
SECTION 2: Specific Plan Findings. After considering the above facts, the
Commission finds as follows:
A. The General Plan Land use designation for the project is Downtown
Specific Plan.
B. The proposed amendment to the Downtown Specific Plan is consistent
with the General Plan land use designation for the properties involved.
C. The proposed amendment to establish a parking in -lieu fee would further
General Plan goals, objectives, and policies to preserve and maintain the
City's downtown (Objective LU1 -4), help create and integrated,
complimentary, and attractive multi -use downtown (Objective LU 4 -2), and
would revitalize and upgrade commercial areas (Policy LU- 4 -2.1) by
creating the opportunity for growth in the downtown area.
D. This amendment could facilitate the construction of additional floor area in
the DSP that is already permitted to occur by providing a mechanism for
on -site parking to be eliminated through the payment of a parking in -lieu
fee.
SECTION 3: Approvals. The Council amends Chapter VII, Section 3, subsection c. of
the Downtown Specific Plan to read as follows:
"c. Parking Reductions:
i) Parking Demand Study. The Director of Community, Economic and
Development Services may modify the required number of parking
spaces or approve joint use or off -site parking, for fewer than 10
spaces, based on the submittal of a parking demand study.
Reductions of 10 or more spaces require Planning Commission
approval. Additionally, for any use for which the number of parking
spaces is not listed, the Director of Community, Economic and
Development Services or Planning Commission will specify the
required number of spaces based on a parking demand study. A
parking demand study must include, without limitation, information
specifying the number of employees, customers, visitors, clients,
residents and owner - occupancy of residence and business (for
existing legal non - conforming residential uses), shifts, deliveries,
parking spaces, or other criteria established by the Director of
Community, Economic and Development Services. The study may
also include the use of valet or attendant parking.
ii). Parking In -Lieu Fees
Page 2 of 4
018
a. The number of parking spaces required by this chapter because
of adding new floor area to an existing building or constructing a
new building may be reduced by paying a parking in -lieu fee in
an amount set by City Council resolution.
b. Any residential unit constructed after the effective date of the
ordinance adding the in -lieu fee option, which is subsequently
converted to a non - residential use, must provide parking as
required by this chapter for such use or pay a parking in -lieu fee
for the floor area converted to the non - residential use.
c. The parking in -lieu fee must be paid before the City issues a
Certificate of Occupancy. Funds collected by the City from such
payments must be deposited in a separate fund and cannot be
commingled with any other City fund. Monies from the in -lieu
fund may only be used for acquiring and developing additional
parking and related facilities, including, without limitation,
acquisition or development of parking stalls in private parking
facilities, needed for the downtown. Funds paid to the City for in-
lieu parking are non - refundable.
d. Parking provided by the City will be developed within or
adjacent to boundaries of the Downtown Specific Plan. Payment
of a parking in -lieu fee does not provide or vest any property
owner with a special right, privilege or interest of any kind in any
parking facility that may result from the payment of the fee.
There is no guarantee that the City will build parking at any
particular time or that it will build parking in a location that will be
of advantage to the property owner paying the fee."
SECTION 4: If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court
of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that such invalidity will not affect the
effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions
of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 5: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this
Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of original
ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting;
and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it
to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING IN -LIEU FEES IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE EL SEGUNDO DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. This Resolution is adopted in accord with the El Segundo Downtown
Specific Plan ( "DSP ") and the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "SPMC ") for
the purpose of establishing in -lieu parking fees;
B. The ESMC generally requires that new construction provide sufficient
parking to accommodate vehicle traffic generated from such construction;
C. The unique circumstances of the City's downtown, e.g., the number of
non - conforming small lots, can make it difficult for businesses to expand
since the ability to provide adequate parking is limited by available
acreage;
D. It is in the public interest for the City to provide options to persons seeking
to expand the size of their businesses to comply with the ESMC;
E. To fulfill this responsibility, the City adopted an in -lieu fee program that
allows business owners to pay a fee to the City to satisfy parking
requirements set forth in the ESMC;
F. This Resolution relies upon the documentary and testimonial evidence
submitted to the City during the public hearing held on November 5, 2003
in addition to such additional information that may be in the administrative
record;
G. The Report prepared by Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc., dated June 12,
2003, regarding calculations of Downtown Parking Fees ( "Report") is
attached as Exhibit "A," and incorporated into this Resolution by reference;
H. The Report concludes that the City may set an in -lieu parking fee as in an
amount not to exceed $37,693 per parking space;
The Council believes that establishing the full amount suggested in the
Report may discourage businesses from participating in the in -lieu
program and, accordingly, believes it is in the public interest to establish a
fee of a lesser amount; and
J. This Resolution relies upon the calculations, assumptions, analysis, and
conclusions set forth in the Report in addition to all other matters in the
City's records.
SECTION 2: Calculation of Parking Fees. The amount of parking fees that can be
paid to the City in accordance with the DSP ( "Fees ") is established at $12,500 per
parking space.
SECTION 3: Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act. This
Resolution is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal.
Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; "CEQA") and CEQA regulations (Cal. Code Regs.
Title 14, §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes, structures, and approves rates and
charges to obtain funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within existing
service areas. This Resolution, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA
review under Cal. Code Regs. Title 14, § 15273.
SECTION 4: Effective Date of this Resolution. The effective date of this Resolution
will coincide with the effective date of Ordinance No. , and will remain in effect
unless repealed or superseded.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 5th day of November, 2003.

SUBJECT: DOWNTOWN PARKING FEE
Dear Mr. Hansen:

Via E -mail
The City of El Segundo ( "City ") has requested Rosenow Spevacek Group, Inc. ( "RSG ")
to perform a preliminary financial analysis of the impact of making a parking fee option
available to downtown property owners. Property owners who wished to expand their
downtown commercial buildings could choose to pay this parking fee ( "In -Lieu Fee ") as
an alternative to providing the on -site parking that would be required by the Downtown
Specific Plan ( "Specific Plan "). This letter is written to summarize RSG's findings and
includes its recommendations.
BACKGROUND
El Segundo's downtown area suffers from deficiencies in on -site parking provided by its
older commercial properties. Commercial properties within the downtown area were
developed before current parking standards were imposed and often have little or no on-
site parking. By comparison, new commercial developments generally include sufficient
parking on -site to meet code and market requirements. Typically it is not feasibly for
owners of older commercial properties to add on -site parking because their properties do
not have sufficient vacant or undeveloped land area to accommodate the required
parking spaces. Without convenient parking for tenants and their customers, the older
commercial properties become obsolete and sell or lease at lower values than newer
properties that meet parking codes. These reduced revenues, values, and inability to
provide on -site parking discourage property owners from upgrading and expanding their
older properties.
In 2002, the City entered into a lease agreement with 612 Twin Holdings LLC ( "Twin
Holdings ") leasing 100 parking stalls within a parking structure to be constructed by Twin
Holdings. Once the parking structure is completed, the City will pay a one time charge
of $1,100,000 for its share of the cost of construction, commence paying $16,166.67 per
month base rent, and its pro -rata share of parking structure operating expenses
(combined hereinafter referred to as "Parking Rent "). Twin Holding's parking structure
will provide the parking stalls (leased) committed to the City and additional stalls for
other Twin Holdings tenants. The parking structure will be located at the intersection of
Grand Avenue and Richmond Street in downtown El Segundo.

ANALYSIS
The City's goal in securing the parking stalls is to provide parking for the public in
downtown El Segundo, and thereby making the downtown a more attractive place to
frequent. It is also hoped that downtown property owners will have more incentive to
invest in their properties and expand their square footages if they can shift their parking
obligations to the City parking structure. Other older downtown commercial areas in
Southern California have experienced resurgences, most notably Santa Monica,
Pasadena, and Huntington Beach. One of the elements that have led to these areas'
revitalization is that each of these respective cities has participated in providing public
parking.
In Old Pasadena, property owners seeking to expand their older buildings can pay a
parking credit fee of $150 per stall to avoid the obligation to provide on -site parking for
the expansion area. Once approved by the city, the property owner pays $119 per stall,
per year, to the city's parking authority to maintain this credit. These payments are a
token compared to the cost the property owners would face if they were to provide their
own parking, and effectively amount to a complete city subsidy of the parking
requirements. In return for this subsidy, Pasadena has benefited from a significant
increase in rents, building values, sales and property tax income, and transient
occupancy taxes in Old Pasadena.
Santa Monica by contract has assisted property owners in the 3rd Street Promenade
area by forming a business improvement district ( "BID ") to finance area improvements,
including parking structures. The property owners pay annually into the BID, which has
issued bonds and financed the construction of parking structures and other
neighborhood upgrades. The estimated cost of the BID to the property owners is from
$0.55 to $.60 per square foot, per year, for those property owners with properties along
the Promenade.
In downtown Huntington Beach, property owners can pay an in -lieu fee of approximately
$15,000 per stall as an alternative to providing on -site parking. The City, through its
redevelopment agency, has constructed a parking structure to meet the demand
generated by downtown visitors.
In all three cities, visitors pay for parking their vehicles in the parking garages in
accordance with local market conditions, although participating merchants can validate
parking for their customers.

Other cities also have an in -lieu fee option available for property developers. City staff
has recently performed a survey of some of these fees and identified the following fee
structures:

$28,937

$11,000
Mountain View
$26,000
West Hollywood
$20,000
Hermosa Beach
$12,500
Beverly Hills
$15,000 - $25,000*
*Fee varies depending upon location within
Beverly Hills
Cities in California have wide latitude in setting development fees. California
Government Code Section 54031 authorizes cities to invest in parking, and Section
54033 authorizes cities to make parking available to the public. In addition, Government
Code Section 66005 provides that a city may impose a fee as a condition for its approval
of a development provided the fee does not exceed the city's reasonable cost of
providing the service or facility for which the fee is imposed. Therefore, the City may
invest in parking facilities, and impose a development fee in an amount of up to its cost
of providing the facility or service upon those developers who choose to utilize the
facility.
The estimated cost per stall of the City's lease at the Richmond and Grand parking
structure is as follows:
* City's share of construction costs shall not exceed $11,000 per stall, per lease
terms, although Twin Holdings estimates the City's actual share to be $15,386 per
stall, excluding land.
** Present value at 6% per year discount rate
Therefore, the City can impose an In -Lieu Fee of up to $37,693 per stall.

One of the reasons the City executed the parking lease was to stimulate additional
commercial development in downtown El Segundo. This City parking may stimulate
additional development if: (i) additional development is feasible, and (ii) the City In -Lieu
fee is less expensive to the developer than the alternative of providing parking through
other means. The City In -Lieu Fee can turn an infeasible project feasible if the cost
difference between the In -Lieu Fee and the developer's cost of developing parking
covers the gap in feasibility. However, rents in downtown must be high enough to make
this gap relatively narrow.
RSG has prepared a preliminary pro -forma which is attached to this report as Exhibit A,
which analyzes the feasibility of a potential commercial building expansion. The pro
forma analyzes the potential costs of adding 3,000 square feet to a theoretical 7,500
square foot building that does not have sufficient land area to provide parking stalls for
the expansion. The pro forma is based upon the assumption that the expansion will be
for office space that will require one (1) parking space per 300 square feet of addition, or
10 parking stalls. Without sufficient land to provide this parking, the property owner will
need to acquire a nearby parcel and develop it into a parking lot. RSG's cost estimate
for acquiring an additional parcel and developing it into a parking lot is attached as
Exhibit B, indicating a cost per stall of $18,915 per stall. This cost presumes that there is
a vacant parcel available downtown that can be purchased for $45 per square foot. If
there are no vacant parcels, then the cost of acquiring a parcel improved with a building
and tearing down the building to develop a parking lot would be prohibitively expensive.
RSG's pro forma indicates that at the rental rates, values, and development costs
utilized in the analysis, an In -Lieu Fee of up to $9,843 per stall, rounded to $10,000 per
stall, would be feasible. Since this fee is below the projected cost of $18,915 per stall
that an owner would otherwise encounter to acquire parking, it would improve the
feasibility of an expansion project.
The City may wish to provide a larger stimulus to downtown development then a
$10,000 per stall fee would provide. The lower the In -Lieu Fee, the more stimulus will be
provided. However, Pasadena has discovered that if a fee is kept at a low rate for too
long, it becomes politically difficult to raise it. Old Pasadena has experienced such a
significant increase in rents and building values that a significantly higher parking fee is
feasible. However, when the city recently tried to raise the parking fee, the property
owners were able to apply sufficient political pressure to defeat the increase. Therefore,
RSG recommends that an In -Lieu Fee be set at its cost per stall, but provide a
significantly lower fee in the short term so as to stimulate immediate development. This
high fee coupled with a lower interim fee schedule would provide a development
stimulus while allowing the City the flexibility to in effect, easily raise the fee in the future.

SUMMARY
• The City's cost per stall for the downtown parking structure is $37,693 per stall,
including $11,000 per stall for its share of construction costs, and $26,693 for
other costs, including ground rent, over the 34 year lease term.
• The City can impose an In -Lieu Fee of up to $37,693 per stall.
• An In -Lieu Fee of $10,000 per stall or less will be required to stimulate
commercial development downtown.
• If the City sets the In -Lieu Fee too low, it may be unable to raise it in the future.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• Provide downtown property owners the option to pay an In -Lieu Parking Fee as
an alternative to providing on -site parking in accordance with the Specific Plan.
• Set the In -Lieu Fee at $37,693 per stall.
• Provide for temporary reduced rates ( "Incentive Rates ") in the initial years of the
In -Lieu Fee program to stimulate commercial development downtown. RSG
suggests an Incentive Rate structure as follows:
o $7,500 per stall for commercial developments that are issued a building
permit on or before December 31, 2008 and receive a Certificate of
Occupancy on or before December 31, 2009.
o Provide for the automatic sunset of the Incentive Rate program by
December 31, 2008, unless extended or amended by the City Council.
o Adjust or extend the Incentive Rates depending upon the demand for the
stalls by downtown property owners and developers, and the goals of the
City (i.e., cost recovery versus economic development).
o Do not allow property owners to buy and trade City parking stalls among
themselves; the City should remain in control of the City stalls.

To establish a parking in -lieu fee
program in the Downtown Specific Plan

100 -300 blocks of Richmond Street
100 -200 blocks of West Grand Avenue
I. Introduction
On July 24, 2003, the City initiated a project to amend the Downtown Specific
Plan (DSP) to create a parking in -lieu fee program. Such a program is intended
to allow the payment of a parking fee in -lieu of providing required on -site parking
for new development in the DSP.
II. Recommendation
Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission review that facts as
contained within this report, and adopt Resolution No. 2555, recommending City
Council approval of Environmental Assessment No. 621 and Specific Plan
Amendment No. 03 -3.
III. Background
On August 1, 2000, the City Council adopted the Downtown Specific Plan. Since
then the Council has adopted two amendments to the DSP. The first revision
approved modifications to the definition of a "bed and breakfast hotel" and the
second revision permitted owner /tenant occupied residential units on the second
floors of buildings within the DSP.
Section 65450 of the State Government Code authorizes cities to adopt specific
plans for the systematic implementation of the General Plan for all or part of the
area covered by the General Plan.
033
The adoption of a specific plan is a legislative act by the City Council, based
upon recommendation by the Planning Commission. The city must, in approving
a Specific Plan, make findings related to the following two areas:
1. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
2. The consistency of the action with the City's General Plan.
IV. Analysis
El Segundo's downtown area suffers from deficiencies in on -site parking
provided by its older commercial properties. Most commercial properties within
the downtown were developed before current parking standards were imposed
and often have little on -site parking. By comparison, in most cities, new
commercial developments generally include sufficient parking on -site to meet
Zoning Code and market requirements. Typically, it is not feasible for owners of
older commercial properties to add on -site parking because their properties do
not have sufficient vacant or undeveloped land area to accommodate the
required parking spaces. Without convenient parking for tenants and customers,
the older buildings can become obsolete and sell or lease at lower cost than
comparable new developments that meet the City's parking requirements.
A parking in -lieu fee is one way of encouraging development where there is little
or no ability to provide parking on -site as is the case in many older downtowns
and historic areas. Most commonly, fees are deposited in a special fund and
used to pay for additional off - street parking and related facilities. There are
similar programs in place in nearby communities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa
Beach, and Culver City as well as in many cities throughout the state. In addition
to providing an option to property owners who might otherwise be unable to
expand or upgrade their property, an in -lieu fee can help to pay for public
parking. And, public parking is shared among many users thus allowing the
more efficient use of parking resources.
In 2002, the City entered into a long -term lease for 100 spaces in the parking
structure under construction at 121 W. Grand Avenue. It is anticipated that the
parking will be available for use in December of this year. The City's goal in
securing the parking stalls is to provide parking for the public and for employees
in the downtown, thereby making the downtown a more attractive, accessible
place to frequent.
The availability of these public spaces also supports the establishment of an in-
lieu fee which:
• encourages property owners to expand or upgrade their properties;
• allows owners to meet their parking obligations to the City by payment of a
fee while knowing that public parking opportunities have expanded; and
034
• would be non - refundable and payable prior to the issuance of a Certificate
of Occupancy.
It is important to note that the payment of the in -lieu fee would not grant the right
of a property owner paying the fee to a space in the parking structure.
Additional policies relating to these issues, which will be determined by the City
Council at its November 4, 2003 meeting, include:
• the operation of the parking structure including the duration and type of
permitted parking (2 hr., permit parking, etc.);
• the number of spaces available for the permitted parking types; and
• the amount of the in -lieu fee, following a recommendation by staff based
on a study completed by RSG, Inc., a consultant retained to assist in the
analysis.
Staff anticipates that the City Council will establish a fee on a per space basis so
the dollar amount that an owner would have to pay will be based on the total
number of parking spaces required for the floor area being added to the property.
In -lieu fees already in place in cities surveyed by staff range from $12,500 to
almost $30,000.
Staff proposes to add the parking in -lieu fee regulations to the parking chapter of
the Downtown Specific Plan. The proposed regulations are as follows:
Proposed Downtown Specific Plan Amendment text
(Char)ter 7. Section 3. Subsection c.)
i) Parking Demand Study. The Director of Community, Economic and
Development Services may modify the required number of parking spaces or
approve joint use or off -site parking, for fewer than 10 spaces, based on the
submittal of a parking demand study. Reductions of 10 or more spaces
require Planning Commission approval of the RlaRR'Rg— QGMFR+sSiGR.
Additionally, for any use for which the number of parking spaces is not listed,
the Director of Community, Economic and Development Services or Planning
Commission will ' shall specify the required number of spaces based on a
parking demand tudy. A parking demand study must shall include, tut -net
be limited to without limitation, information specifying the number of
employees, customers, visitors, clients, residents and owner - occupancy of
residence and business (for existing legal non - conforming residential uses),
shifts, deliveries, parking spaces, or other criteria established by the Director
of Community, Economic and Development Services. The study may also
include the use of valet or attendant parking.
ii). Parking In -Lieu Fees
A. The number of parking spaces required by this chapter due to the
addition of floor area to an existing building or the construction of a new
building may be reduced by the payment of a parking in -lieu fee to be set
by the City Council from time to time
B. Any residential unit constructed after the adoption of this program, which
035
is subsequently converted to a non - residential use is required to provide
parking as required by this chapter for such use or pay a parking in -lieu
fee for the floor area converted to the non - residential use.
C The parking in -lieu fee must be paid before the issuance of a Certificate
of Occupancy. Funds collected by the City from such payment will be
deposited in a special fund and used only by the City to acquire and or
develop additional parking and related facilities which are determined by
the City Council to be necessary to serve the downtown. Funds paid to
the City for in -lieu parking are non - refundable.
D. Parking provided by the City will be developed within or adjacent to
boundaries of the Downtown Specific Plan. Payment of a parkin in-lieu
n-lieu
fee does not provide or vest any property owner with a special right,
privilege or interest of any kind in any parking facility that may result from
the payment of the fee. There is no guarantee that the City will build
parking at any particular time or that it will build parking in a location that
will be of advantage to the property owner paving the fee.
The parking -in lieu fee would be an option for anyone adding commercial floor
area to a building or constructing a new building in the downtown. Additionally,
any new residential units that would be converted to commercial use would also
be subject to the fee if on -site parking for the commercial floor area could not be
provided. Since new residential units are required to be owner /tenant occupied,
there is no parking requirement for such units. However, if such a unit were
converted to a commercial use in the future, it would then be subject to parking
requirements as a commercial use. The parking in -lieu fee could be used to
offset that new parking requirement.
General Plan Consistency
The proposed amendment to the Downtown Specific Plan is consistent with the
General Plan land use designation for the properties involved. The proposed
amendment to establish a parking in -lieu fee would further General Plan goals,
objectives, and policies to preserve and maintain the City's downtown (Objective
1-1-11 -4), help create and integrated, complimentary, and attractive multi -use
downtown (Objective LU 4 -2), and would revitalize and upgrade commercial
areas (Policy LU- 4 -2.1) by creating the opportunity for growth in the downtown
area.
V. Inter- Departmental Comments
The project applications, Initial Study and draft DSP Amendment were circulated
and all inter - departmental comments are attached to the report. The following
Divisions and Departments had no comments on the project: City Manager,
Police, Fire, Library, and the City Attorney's office.
The Director of Administrative Services questioned whether or not there would be
sufficient parking spaces available to purchase to meet the parking requirements
036
and how much each parking space would cost. The Director also questioned
what would happen if there were more requests than available parking spaces.
The intent of the proposed parking in -lieu fee is not to provide any specific
parking space to a property owner who pays the parking in -lieu fee. Payment of
the fee grants the valuable right to add floor area to ones property in the DSP
without the burden of providing the required parking for that floor area on -site. As
previously stated, the City will use the funds raised by these fees to develop
parking for the community, which will offset the loss of the on site parking over
time.
VI. Environmental Review
The proposed project has been analyzed for its environmental impacts and a
Draft Initial Study (Exhibit D) has been prepared pursuant to Section 15063, of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Mitigated Negative
Declaration of Environmental Impacts is proposed for this project pursuant to
Section 15070 of CEQA.
VII. Conclusion
Planning staff recommends Planning Commission adopt Resolution No 2555,
recommending that the City Council approve Environmental Assessment No. 621
and Specific Plan Amendment No. 03 -3.

A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. 621 AND SPECIFIC PLAN
AMENDMENT NO. 03 -03 AMENDING SECTIONS OF THE DOWNTOWN
SPECIFIC PLAN TO ADD A PARKING IN -LIEU FEE PROGRAM.
The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The Planning Commission finds and declares that:
A. On July 24, 2003, the City initiated the process to amend Downtown Specific
Plan (DSP) to create a parking in -lieu fee program. The application was reviewed
by City's Department of Community, Economic and Development Services for, in
part, consistency with the General Plan and conformity with the El Segundo
Municipal Code ( "ESMC ");
B. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under 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);
C. The Department of Community, Economic and Development Services completed
its review and scheduled a public hearing regarding the application before this
Planning Commission for October 9, 2003;
D. On October 9, 2003, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive
public testimony and other evidence regarding the application including, without
limitation, information provided to the Planning Commission by city staff;
E. The Planning Commission considered the information provided by City staff and
public testimony. This Resolution, and its findings, are made based upon the
evidence presented to the Planning Commission at its October 9, 2003 hearing
including, without limitation, the staff reports submitted by the Department of
Community, Economic and Development Services.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings. The Commission finds that the following facts exist:
A. The subject sites affected are primarily within the borders of the Downtown
Specific Plan area which include the 100 -500 block of Main Street, the 100 -300
block of Richmond Street and the 100 -200 blocks of West Grand Avenue;
B. Parking created using in -lieu fees may be located outside the boundaries of the
Downtown Specific Plan;
C. The current parking requirements for the DSP requires parking be provided on-
site for additions to buildings and construction of new buildings.
o 4 4
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. Because of the facts identified in Section 2 of this
Resolution, the proposed project has been analyzed for its environmental impacts and a Draft
Initial Study has been prepared pursuant to Section 15063, of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). A Negative Declaration of Environmental Impacts is proposed for this
project pursuant to CEQA § 15070. Accordingly, based upon the evidence presented to the
Commission, the City need not prepare an environmental impact report for the proposed project.
SECTION 4: Specific Plan Findings. After considering the above facts, the Commission finds
as follows:
A. The General Plan Land use designation for the project is Downtown Specific
Plan.
B. The proposed amendment to the Downtown Specific Plan is consistent with the
General Plan land use designation for the properties involved.
C. The proposed amendment to establish a parking in -lieu fee would further General
Plan goals, objectives, and policies to preserve and maintain the City's downtown
(Objective LU14), help create and integrated, complimentary, and attractive
multi -use downtown (Objective LU 4 -2), and would revitalize and upgrade
commercial areas( Policy LU- 4 -2.1) by creating the opportunity for growth in the
downtown area.
D. This amendment could facilitate the construction of additional floor area in the
DSP, that is already permitted to occur by providing a mechanism for on -site
parking to be eliminated through the payment of a parking in -lieu fee.
SECTION 5: Recommendations. The Planning Commission makes the following
recommendations:
A. The City Council should amend the Chapter VII, Section 3, subsection c. of the
Downtown Specific Plan to read as follows:
"c. Parking Reductions:
i) Parking Demand Study. The Director of Community, Economic and
Development Services may modify the required number of parking
spaces or approve joint use or off -site parking, for fewer than 10
spaces, based on the submittal of a parking demand study.
Reductions of 10 or more spaces require Planning Commission
approval. Additionally, for any use for which the number of parking
spaces is not listed, the Director of Community, Economic and
Development Services or Planning Commission will specify the
required number of spaces based on a parking demand study. A
parking demand study must include, without limitation, information
specifying the number of employees, customers, visitors, clients,
residents and owner - occupancy of residence and business (for
existing legal non - conforming residential uses), shifts, deliveries,
parking spaces, or other criteria established by the Director of
Community, Economic and Development Services. The study may
also include the use of valet or attendant parking.
ii). Parking In -Lieu Fees
a. The number of parking spaces required by this chapter due to the
addition of floor area to an existing building or the construction of a
new building may be reduced by the payment of a parking in -lieu fee
to be set by the City Council from time to time.
b. Any residential unit constructed after the adoption of this program,
which is subsequently converted to a non - residential use is required
to provide parking as required by this chapter for such use or pay a
parking in -lieu fee for the floor area converted to the non - residential
use.
c. The parking in -lieu fee must be paid before the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy. Funds collected by the City from such
payment will be deposited in a special fund and used only by the City
to acquire and or develop additional parking and related facilities
which are determined by the City Council to be necessary to serve the
downtown. Funds paid to the City for in -lieu parking are non-
refundable.
d. Parking provided by the City will be developed within or adjacent to
boundaries of the Downtown Specific Plan. Payment of a parking in-
lieu fee does not provide or vest any property owner with a special
right, privilege or interest of any kind in any parking facility that may
result from the payment of the fee. There is no guarantee that the City
will build parking at any particular time or that it will build parking in a
location that will be of advantage to the property owner paying the
fee."
SECTION 6: This Resolution will remain effective unless superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 7: The Commission Secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to any
person requesting a copy.
SECTION 8: This Resolution may be appealed within ten calendar days after its adoption. All
appeals must be in writing and filed with the City Clerk within this time period. Failure to file a
timely written appeal will constitute a waiver of any right of appeal.
SECTION 9: Except as provided in Section 8, this Resolution is the Planning Commission's
final action and will be forwarded to City Council for approval.

IV. EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the
information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is
adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects
like the one involved (e.g the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be
explained where it is based on project- specific factors as well as general standards (e.g. the project will not
expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project - specific screening analysis).
2) All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site, cumulative as
well as project - level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers
must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than
significant "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be
significant. If there are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an
EIR is required.
4) "Negative Declaration: Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of
mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Significant Impact "
The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less
than significant level (mitigation measures from Section 17,- "Earlier Analysis," may be cross - referenced).
5) Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has
been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3) (d). In this case, a
brief discussion should identify the following:
(a) Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
(b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of
and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state
whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
(c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated,"
describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the
extent to which they address site - specific conditions for the project.
6) Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential
impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should,
where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated.
7) Supporting Information Sources- A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals
contacted should be cited in the discussion.
8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should
normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in
whatever format is selected.
9) The analysis of each issue should identify: (a) the significance criteria or threshold used to evaluate each
question; and (b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.

1. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? X
b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to
trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic X
highway?
c) Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site X
and its surroundings?
d) Create a new source of substantial light or glare which would adversely X
affect day or nighttime views in the area?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking.
A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to introduce incompatible visual elements within
a field of view containing a scenic vista. However, the proposed project area is located in developed commercial area
within the City of El Segundo. No scenic vistas currently exist in this area. No impacts related to scenic vistas would
occur.
A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to introduce incompatible visual elements on the
project sites or visual elements, which would be incompatible with the character of the areas surrounding the project sites.
The proposed project could facilitate the construction of additional floor area, including second stories, in the DSP
However, all new construction would have to comply with all of the development standards and guidelines in the DSP that
impact the aesthetic character of the buildings. No impacts related to visual compatibility would occur from
implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to introduce new sources of light or glare on the
various project sites which would be incompatible with the areas surrounding the project sites or which would pose a
safety hazard to motorists utilizing adjacent streets. No new hazards from lighting or glare would be introduced.
Therefore, no impacts would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
2. AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: In determining whether impacts to agricultural resources are significant
environmental effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural Land Evaluation and Site Assessment
Model (1997) prepared by the California Department of Conservation as an optional model to use in assessing impacts
on agriculture and farmland. Would the project?
a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to X
the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California
Resources Agency to non - agricultural use?
b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act X
contract?
c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their
location or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non- X
agricultural use?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking.
No significant impact will occur, as the proposed project will not affect any farmland. The California Department of
Conservation, Division of Land Protection, lists Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, and Farmland of Statewide
Importance under the general category of "Important Farmland." The Extent of Important Farmland Map Coverage
maintained by the Division of Land Protection indicates that the project sites are not included in the Important Farmland
category ' The majority of land in the DSP has been developed. The remaining building sites are located in various
areas of the DSP and developed in various zoning areas in the City of El Segundo and do not include any state -
designated agricultural lands. No impact on farmland or agricultural resources would occur. Therefore, it will not convert
any farmland or otherwise affect any farmland There is no Williamson Act contracted land in the City of El Segundo.
3. AIR QUALITY: Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air
pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following determinations. Would the project:
a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality
X
plan
b) Violate any air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing
X
or projected air quality violation.
c) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria
pollutant for which the project region is non - attainment under an
applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard (including
X
releasing emissions which exceed quantitative thresholds for ozone
precursors)?
d) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations?
X
e) Create objectionable odors affecting a substantial number of people?
X
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking.
No significant impact will occur, as the project is consistent with the applicable Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and
would not represent a substantial hindrance to employing the policies or obtaining the goals of fhat plan. No impact would
occur.
No significant effect related to air quality would occur since the proposed project is a specific plan amendment, which
would not increase the amount of development already permitted in the DSP. While the project may facilitate new
construction in the DSP, it would not increase the allowed floor area ratio (FAR) on any property. The South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD), in its CEQA Air Quality Handbook (SCAQMD Handbook), has established
screening thresholds for determining whether a project has the potential to result in significant air quality impacts. The
City has estimated that approximately 30,000 square feet of additional floor area could be constructed in the entire DSP
before all of the properties are built to their maximum permitted FAR. Consequently, the construction, of this much floor
area would not generate air emissions that would exceed significance criteria. No impact would occur from
implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
No significant impact related to air movement, moisture, or temperature, or climatic change would occur, since the
proposed project would only facilitate construction of floor area that is already permitted and that was already analyzed
when the DSP was originally adopted in 2000. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee
program.

The proposed project would consist of urban development that does not include activities or processes that would
generate substantial odors. Moreover, no sensitive uses are presently located adjacent to the existing use. No impact
would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program
4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Would the project.
a) Have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat
modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or
special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations,
X
or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service?
b) Have a substantially adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other
sensitive natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies,
X
regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U. S.
Wildlife Service?
c) Have a substantial adverse effect on federally protected wetlands as
defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (including, but not limited
X
to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling,
hydrological interruption, or other means?
d) Interfere substantially with the movement of any resident or migratory
fish or wildlife species or with established native resident migratory
X
wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites?
e) Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological
X
resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance?
f) Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan,
Natural Conservation Community Plan, other approved local, regional,
X
or state habitat conservation plan?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking.
No significant impact would occur where the proposed projects would remove or modify habitat for any species identified
or designated as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulation, or by
the state or federal regulatory agencies cited. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee
program.
No significant impact will occur where riparian habitat or any other sensitive natural community identified locally,
regionally, or by the state and federal regulatory agencies cited were to be adversely modified. No impact would occur
from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
No significant impact will occur where federally protected wetlands as defined by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
would be modified or removed No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program
The proposed project would not interfere or remove access to a migratory wildlife corridor or impede the use of native
wildlife nursery sites No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
No significant impact will occur since the proposed project is a zoning ordinance amendment and will not use non-
renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in-
lieu fee program.
The General Plan designation for the project sites does not identify the project sites as a potential location for future
mineral resource recovery. The proposed project site has never been used for mineral resource recovery. There would
be no impact to the loss of availability of a known mineral resource. There are no known rare, unique or endangered plant
� N
►JJ
or animal species associated with the proposed project areas or within the immediate vicinity Therefore, the proposed
project will not produce changes to the number of rare or endangered plant species in the project area (including trees,
shrubs grass, crops, and micro flora) nor would it impact wetlands, migratory corridors, or conservation plans No impact
would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
5. CULTURAL RESOURCES. Would the project:
a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical
X
resource as defined in Section 15064.5?
b) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an
X
archaeological resources pursuant to Section 15064.5?
c) Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or
X
unique geologic feature?
d) Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal
X
cemeteries?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking.
No significant impact will occur since no grading or excavation activities will take place. No impacts to paleontological
resources would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
No impact will occur since no grading or excavation activities are directly associated with the establishment of a parking
in -lie fee. Therefore no disturbance to archaeological resources or geologic features will take place. No impacts would
occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
Section 15064.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines defines an historical resource as- (1) a resource listed in or determined to
be eligible by the State Historical Resources Commission, for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, (2)
a resource listed in a local register of historical resources or identified as significant in an historical resource survey
meeting certain state guidelines; or (3) an object, building, structure, site, area, place, record or manuscript which a lead
agency determines to be significant in the architectural, engineering, scientific, economic, agricultural, educational, social,
political, military or cultural annals of California, provided that the lead agency's determination is supported by substantial
evidence in light of the whole record. The project would thus not have any potential to affect significant historical
resources as defined in Section 15064.5.
No significant impact will occur since the proposed project is located in an area where no physical change would affect the
unique ethnic community or culture. The DSP would maintain its design guidelines, which regulate the construction of
buildings in the City's historic Richmond Street District The proposed project area is located in an urbanized area of the
City of El Segundo, which does not have cultural or ethnic significance. No impacts would occur from implementation of
the parking in -lieu fee program.
No significant impact will occur since the proposed project is not located in an area where it could impact religious or
sacred uses. The proposed project area is located in an urbanized area of the City of EI Segundo, which does not have
religious or sacred significance No impacts would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program
6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS. Would the project.
a) Expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury or death involving.
(i) Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most
recent Alquist - Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Map issued by the
State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence
X
of a known fault? Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special
Publication 42
(ii) Strong seismic ground shaking?
X
(iii) Seismic- related ground failure, including liquefaction?
u6
(iv) Landslides?
X
b) Result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil?
X
c) Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would
become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on-
X
or off -site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or
collapse?
d) Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18 -a -B of the Uniform
X
Building Code (1994), creating substantial risks to life or property?
e) Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or
alternative waste water disposal systems where sewers are not
X
available for the disposal of waste water?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed amendment would not alter the construction methods or materials used in construction.
A significant impact may occur if the project sites where located within a state - designated Alquist - Priolo Zone or other
designated fault zone, and appropriate building practices are not employed. The project sites are located in the vicinity of
the Newport- Inglewood Fault Zone and the Elysian Thrust Fault Zone (see Environmental and Public Facilities Maps:
Alquist - Priolo Special Study Zones and Fault Rupture Study Areas in the City of Los Angeles)2. The Newport- Inglewood
Fault Zone is 75 km in length with a probable magnitude of 6.5 -7.4. The potentially active Elysian Thrust Fault Zone is 34
km in length with a probable magnitude of 6.7.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project represents an increased risk to public safety or destruction of
property by exposing people, property or infrastructure to seismically induced ground shaking hazards that are greater
than the average risk associated with locations in the Southern California region. As with all properties in the seismically
active Southern California region, the districts affected by the amendment are susceptible to ground shaking during a
seismic event. Potential impacts from seismic ground shaking are present throughout Southern California and would be
of comparable intensity at the project site as it would be for large parts of the City of El Segundo and the region. All
construction in the DSP is required to comply with existing codes which reduce seismic risks to an acceptable level; thus,
the proposed project will have a less than significant impact with regard to seismic ground shaking. No impact would
occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project is located in an area identified as having a high risk of liquefaction
and mitigation measures required within such designated areas are not incorporated into the project. The DSP is not
identified on any official maps has being of high risk of liquefaction. There would be no impact involving seismic ground
failure, including liquefaction since no additional development would be allowed beyond what was already allowed in the
DSP.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project sites were sufficiently close to the ocean to be potentially at risk of
the effects of seismically induced tidal phenomena ( seiche and tsunami). The proposed project site is located
approximately one mile from Santa Monica Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Impacts involving seiche, tsunami, or volcanic
hazards would be less than significant
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project sites were located in a hillside area with soil conditions that would
suggest high potential for sliding The properties in the DSP are relatively flat would not be subject to potential landslide
conditions.
The City of Los Angeles Environmental and Public Facilities Maps (September 1, 1996) are available for revteW during normal
business hours at the City of El Segundo Community, Economic and Development Services Department, 350 Main Street, El
Segundo, CA 90245
t1 J i
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project sites would expose large areas to the erosional effects of wind or
water for a long period of time The potential for substantial erosion or changes in topography would not be present under
the proposed project. The DSP is entirely developed with buildings and impervious surfaces. No impact would occur from
implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project would cause subsidence of the land. No impact would occur from
implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact would occur if the proposed project sites were built in areas characterized by expansive soils or other
unstable soil conditions without proper site preparation or design features to provide adequate foundations for project
buildings, thus posing a hazard to life and property. Construction must comply with the California Building Code, which is
designed to assure safe construction, including building foundation requirements appropriate to site conditions. No impact
would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program
A significant impact would occur if the proposed project sites or immediate surrounding areas contained unique geological
or physical features. No such features exist in the surrounding area so no impact would occur from implementation of the
parking in -lieu fee program.
7. HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Would the project?
a) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the
X
routine transport, use or disposal of hazardous materials?
b) Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through
reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the
X
likely release of hazardous materials into the environment?
c) Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous
materials, substances, or waste within one - quarter mile of an exiting or
X
proposed school?
d) Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials
sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as
X
a result would it create a significant hazard to the public or the
environment?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a
plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public
X
use airport, would the project result in a safety hazard for people
residing or working in the project area?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project
result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project
X
area?
g) Impair implementation of, or physically interfere with an adopted
X
emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan?
h) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death
involving wildland fires, including where wildlands are adjacent to
X
urbanized areas or where residences are intermixed with wildlands?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that may have been identified as part of the original adoption of
the DSP.
A significant impact will occur if the proposed project utilizes substantial quantities of hazardous materials as part of its
routine operations and which would potentially pose a hazard to nearby sensitive receptors under accident or upset
conditions. Implementation of the proposed project will not change the characteristics of hazardous material handling
within the DSP No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed protect were to interfere with roadway operations used in conjunction with
an emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan or would generate sufficient traffic to create traffic congestion
that would interfere with the execution of such a plan Implementation of the proposed project will not alter any
emergency response or evacuation plans within the DSP. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in-
lieu fee program
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project involved use or disposal of hazardous materials as part of its
routine operations and would have the potential to generate toxic or otherwise hazardous emissions that could adversely
affect sensitive receptors. Implementation of the proposed project will not change the characteristics of hazardous
material handling within the DSP. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project involved the exposure of people to existing sources of potential
health hazards. No impacts would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project increased fire hazards in the affected areas with flammable brush,
grass, or trees The proposed project sites are located in an urbanized area of the City of El Segundo that does not
include wildlands or high fire hazard terrain or vegetation.
8. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY. Would the project:
a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements?
X
b) Substantially degrade groundwater supplies or interfere substantially
with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in
aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g.,
X
the production rate of pre- existing nearby wells would drop to a level
which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which
permits have been granted)?
c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a
X
manner which would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off -
site?
d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area,
including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or
X
substantially increase the rate or surface runoff in a manner which
would result in flooding on- or off site?
e) Create or contribute runoff which would exceed the capacity of existing
or planned stormwater drainage systems or provide substantial
X
additional sources of polluted runoff?
f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality?
X
g) Place housing within a 100 -year floodplam, as mapped on a federal
Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood
X
hazard delineation map?
h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures which would
X
impede or redirect flood flows?
i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death
involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee
X
or dam?
j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow?

The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that may have been identified as part of the adoption of the
DSP
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted in increased runoff volumes during construction or
operation of the project, which would result in flooding conditions affecting the project site or nearby properties. No impact
would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted in exposure of people or property to water related hazards
such as flooding No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project included potential sources of water pollutants, which would have
the potential to degrade water quality. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted in changes in the amount of surface water in any water
body No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project resulted in changes in currents, or the course or direction of water
movements. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project included deep excavations which had the potential to interfere with
groundwater movement or included withdrawal of groundwater or paving of existing permeable surfaces important to
groundwater recharge. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project included potential sources of water pollutants that would have the
potential to substantially degrade water quality. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee
program.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project included deep excavations, which had the potential to substantially
reduce the amount of groundwater otherwise available for public water supplies. No impact would occur from
implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
9. LAND USE AND PLANNING. Would the project:
a) Physically divide an established community?
X
b) Conflict with an applicable land use plan, policy or regulation of an
agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the
general plan, specific plan, local coastal program, or zoning ordinance)
X
adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental
effect?
c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural
X
communities conservation plan?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that may have been identified as part of the adoption of the
DSP
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project were inconsistent with the General Plan or zoning designations
currently applicable to the project site and would cause adverse environmental effects, which the General Plan and zoning
ordinance are designed to avoid or mitigate. The proposed project is consistent with the General Plan since the project
will not alter the permitted land uses in the DSP or the permitted density of development.
11
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if the proposed project sites were located within areas governed by
a habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. There is no habitat conservation plan or natural
community conservation plan in the DSP area. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee
program.
A significant impact would occur if a proposed project would be incompatible with adjacent sensitive land uses (i.e.,
residential) Since no change in land uses is proposed, no impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu
fee program
10. MINERAL RESOURCES. Would the project.
a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would
X
be of value to the region and the residents of the state?
b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally - important mineral resource
recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other
X
land use plan?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that may have been identified as part of the adoption of the
DSP.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project used non - renewable resources in a wasteful and inefficient manner.
The project would not alter the way any non - renewable resources are used. No impact would occur from implementation
of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project sites were located in areas used or available for extraction of a
regionally - important mineral resource and the project converted an existing or potential future regionally - important mineral
extraction use to another use or if the project affected access to a site used or potentially available for regionally- important
mineral resource extraction. There are no areas of mineral resources in the project area. No impact would occur from
implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
11. NOISE. Would the project result in:
a) Exposure of persons to or generation of noise levels in excess of
standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or
X
applicable standards of other agencies?
b) Exposure of persons to or generation of excessive groundborne
X
vibration or groundborne noise levels?
c) A substantial permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the project
X
vicinity above levels existing without the project?
d) A substantially temporary or periodic increase in ambient noise levels in
X
the project vicinity above levels existing without the project?
e) For a project located within an airport land use plan, or, where such a
plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public
X
use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the
project area to excessive noise levels?
f) For a project within the vicinity of a private airstrip, would the project
expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive
X
noise levels
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that may have been identified as part of the adoption of the
DSP

k j IJ
The proposed project is located in an urban developed environment. The existing noise environment is characterized by
the mix of land uses within it, which includes commercial developments, residences and the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). The project sites are outside the 65 dBA noise contour of LAX. The primary source of noise in the vicinity
of the project sites are vehicular noise on the surrounding streets and noise from LAX.
The criteria for determination of a significant noise impact are set forth in the City of El Segundo Noise Ordmance3. A
project would normally have a significant operational noise impact if the project causes the ambient noise level measured
at the property line of affected uses to increase by 5 dBA in Community Equivalent Noise Level (CNEL) above the
accepted ambient noise level of 65 dBA CNEL. CNEL is a 24 -hour weighted noise measurement, in which noise during
evening and nighttime hours is given an increased weight to account for increased sensitivity to noise during those hours.
For the proposed project, no additional noise will be generated that was not already analyzed when the DSP was
adopted No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project generated noise. The proposed project will not create any new
construction noise not already analyzed when the DSP was adopted. No impacts would occur from implementation of the
parking in -lieu fee program.
12. POPULATION AND HOUSING. Would the project:
a) Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (for
example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for
X
example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)
b) Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating the
X
construction of replacement housing elsewhere?
c) Displace substantial numbers of people, necessitating the construction
X
of replacement housing elsewhere?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that may have been identified as part of the adoption of the
DSP. The proposed will not induce substantial growth since only approximately 30,000 square feet of floor area can be
added in the DSP based on the current buildout and the permitted floor area ratio in the plan ar @a.
A significant impact may occur if the proposed project cumulatively exceeded the official regional or local population
projections No impact would occur since the development of housing in the DSP is not dependent on the proposed
parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project were to locate new development such as homes, businesses or
infrastructure, with the effect of substantially inducing growth that would otherwise not have occurred as rapidly or in as
great a magnitude. While additional growth in the DSP may be accelerated by the introduction of a parking in -lieu fee
program, the total amount of potential growth in the DSP will not be affected. Additionally, the City has leased 100 parking
spaces in a parking structure under construction in the DSP to provide public parking. This public parking will offset the
parking that may not be provided as a result of the adoption and implementation of the proposed project. As a result, no
impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
The proposed project would not induce substantial growth and development in an undeveloped area or extension of mayor
infrastructure. The DSP is fully developed No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project would result in displacement of existing housing units, necessitating
construction of replacement housing elsewhere. The proposed project would involve an amendment to the DSP, but it
would not result in the displacement of housing that is not already permitted to be replaced. No impact would occur from
implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program

13. PUBLIC SERVICES Would the project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision
of new or physically altered government facilities, need for new or physically altered government facilities, the
construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios,
response times or other performance objectives for any of the public services -
a) Fire protection?
X
b) Police protection?
X
c) Schools?
X
d) Parks?

The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that may have been identified as part of the adoption of the
DSP. Since the proposed project would not alter the total amount of floor area that could be developed and that was
previously analyzed, no impact would occur.
A significant impact may occur if the City of El Segundo Fire Department (ESFD) could not adequately serve the proposed
project based upon response time, access or fire hydrant/water availability. No impact on fire would occur from
implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project resulted in an increase in demand for police services that would
exceed the capacity of the police department responsible for serving the sites. No impact on police would occur from
implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
generate demand for school facilities that exceeds the capacity of the school district(s) responsible for serving the project
sites. No impact on schools would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
generate a demand for new or altered government service. Since the proposed project would not alter the total amount of
floor area that could be developed and that was previously analyzed, no impact would occur from implementation of the
parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
generate a demand for other public facilities (such as libraries), which exceeds the capacity available to serve the project
sites. Since the proposed project would not alter the total amount of floor area that could be developed and that was
previously analyzed, no impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
14. RECREATION.
a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood or regional
parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical
X
deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated?
b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require the
construction or expansion of recreational facilities which might have an
X
adverse physical effect on the environment?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that may have been identified as part of the adoption of the
DSP.
14
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
generate demands for public park facilities that exceed the capacity of existing parks, and causes premature deterioration
of the park facilities. The project would not increase the demand for neighborhood or regional parks or other recreational
facilities. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a project includes the construction or expansion of park facilities and such construction
would have a significant adverse effect on the environment No impact would occur from implementation of the parking
in -lieu fee program
15. TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC. Would the project:
a) Cause an increase in the traffic which is substantial in relation to the
existing traffic load and capacity of the street system (i.e., result in a
X
substantial increase in either the number of vehicle trips, the volume to
capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections)?
b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard
established by the county congestion management agency for
X
designated roads or highways?
c) Result in a change in air traffic patterns, including either an increase in
traffic levels or a change in location that results in substantial safety
X
risks?
d) Substantially increase hazards to a design feature (e.g., sharp curves or
X
dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g. farm equipment)?
e) Result in inadequate emergency access?
X
f) Result in inadequate parking capacity?
X
g) Conflict with adopted policies or programs supporting alternative
X
transportation (e.g., bus turnouts, bicycle racks)?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that may have been identified as part of the adoption of the
DSP.
Since there would be no increase in development rights created by the proposed project that would lead to traffic impacts
not already identified, no impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if project design did not allow for emergency access meeting the
requirements of the Fire Department such that an existing hazard to the project and adjacent uses would be exacerbated.
The project will not impact emergency access in the DSP area.
A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project included new roadway design or introduced a new
land use into an area with specific transportation requirements and characteristics, which had not been previously
experienced in the affected areas. The proposed project would not change the land use characteristics of the DSP or
introduce new land use types to the DSP. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program
A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project were to increase traffic hazards in such a manner as
to pose safety hazards or otherwise preclude pedestrian and bicycle movements. Since no new development rights are
being created, the impacts of development in the DSP would not be altered from how such impacts were evaluated at the
time of adoption of the original DSP. No impacts would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program
A project- related significant adverse effect could occur if the project would involve modification of existing alternative
transportation facilities located on- or off -site. Since the project would affect any transportation facilities, no impact would
occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
15
A project - related significant adverse effect could occur if the project included rail, port or airport facilities, or had the
potential to impact such facilities. The proposed project does not include any rail, port or airport facilities. No impacts
would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
16. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS. Would the project-
a) Exceed wastewater treatment requirements of the applicable Regional
X
Water Quality Control Board?
b) Require or result in construction of new water or wastewater treatment
facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which
X
could cause significant environmental effects?
c) Require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage
facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which
X
could cause significant environmental effects?
d) Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project from
existing entitlements and resources, or are new or expanded
X
entitlements needed?
e) Result in a determination by the wastewater treatment provider which
services or may serve the project determined that it has adequate
X
capacity to serve the project's projected demand in addition to the
provider's existing commitments?
f) Be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to
X
accommodate the project's solid waste disposal needs?
g) Comply with federal, state, and local statues and regulations related to
X
solid waste?
The proposed project is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights in the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that may have been identified as part of the adoption of the
DSP.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project includes substantial employment or population growth, which could
generate a demand for new systems or substantial alterations to power or natural gas. As stated previously, the proposed
project could facilitate the construction of floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a parking fee
instead of the provision of on -site parking. However, the proposed project would not allow for more residential
development than already permitted in the DSP Therefore, the proposed project will not create a demand for new utility
systems. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project would increase water consumption, wastewater or solid waste
generation, or stormwater run -off to such a degree that the capacity of facilities currently serving the project sites would be
exceeded. No impact to water treatment facilities would occur. The potential construction of approximately 30,000 square
feet of floor area for commercial purposes, which may be facilitated by the proposed project, will not create the need for
additional water, wastewater, stormwater, or solid waste facilities No impact would occur from implementation of the
parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a proposed project were to increase water consumption to such a degree that new water
sources would need to be identified, or that existing resources would be consumed at a pace greater than planned for by
purveyors, distributors and service providers. No impact to water service would occur from implementation of the parking
in -lieu fee orooram.
1 17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
16 , „ ••_
-bJ
a) Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the
environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife
species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self - sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the
X
number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or
eliminate Important examples of the mayor periods of California history
or prehistory?
b) Does the project have Impacts that are Individually limited, but
cumulatively considerable? ( "Cumulatively considerable" means that
the incremental effects of a project are considerable when viewed In
X
connection with the effects of the past projects, the effects of other
current projects, and the effects of probable future projects)?
c) Does the project have environmental effects which will cause
substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or
X
indirectly?
The proposed project Is an amendment to the DSP to establish a parking in -lieu fee program. This program will not
increase the FAR or grant any additional development rights In the DSP. The project may facilitate the construction of
floor area already permitted in the DSP by allowing the payment of a fee instead of providing on -site parking. The
proposed project will not create any impacts beyond those that rrfay have been identified as part of the adoption of the
DSP.
A significant impact may occur only if a project would have an identified potentially significant impact for any of the above
issues, as discussed in the preceding sections. The proposed project is located in a densely populated urban area. The
proposed project would not degrade the quality of the environment, reduce or threaten any fish or wildlife species
(endangered or otherwise), or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or pre- history. No
impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact would occur only if a proposed project were to result in short-term environmental effects that would
substantially affect or preclude the ability of a jurisdiction to achieve long -term environmental goals. The proposed project
does not include any significant short-term environmental effects and therefore would not impact to achievement of long-
term environmental goals. No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a project, in conjunction with other related projects in the area of the project sites, would
result in impacts, which are less than significant when viewed separately, but would be significant when viewed together.
No impact would occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.
A significant impact may occur if a project has the potential to result in significant impacts, as discussed In the preceding
sections. As noted In the evaluations above, the proposed project would not result In any such impacts Thus, the
proposed project would not have the potential to result in substantial adverse effects on human beings. No impact would
occur from implementation of the parking in -lieu fee program.

that the in -lieu fees collected are one -time fees; and that the fees can
only be used for the Downtown area or adjacent thereto.
Assistant City Attorney Berger explained for Vice - Chairman Busch that
the in -lieu fees would be put into a special account, which would only be
used for parking - related purposes; however, part of that can be
reimbursement to the General Fund for an outlay of additional parking.
Economic Development Manager Lane noted for Chairman Mahler that
the assessment will be the same for everyone; and advised that an
economic analysis was prepared by an independent real estate
consulting firm.
Economic Development Manager Lane noted for Vice - Chairman Busch
that 100 spaces will be available in the parking garage; explained that
there is no direct link between the number of spaces in a specific garage

Minutes, October 9, 2003

and the number of spaces available in the in -lieu program; stated that if
all of these spaces were utilized and not available, and there were
another 100 fees collected, for instance, that money could be used to
purchase /provide additional parking; and that some of the spaces in the
Downtown area could be used by the business employees and
customers.
Addressing Commissioner Funk's inquiry, Assistant City Attorney Berger
explained that the only link between the in -lieu fee program and the
parking garage is that the City has already put an outlay for the
construction of the parking garage; advised that the in -lieu fees are for
replacement for parking; and stated that this program would allow
property owners to pay a certain fee that will be established by City
Council resolution, based upon a fee study, an amount into a special
fund which would be used to acquire new parking when those
opportunities arose. He added that the only link between this in -lieu fee
program and the parking garage is available parking; stated that the City
has already committed to the construction of this parking; and, therefore,
the fees that are collected can be used to reimburse the General Fund
for the construction of that parking garage. Once the General Fund is
fully reimbursed for the construction of the parking garage, he explained
that the in -lieu fee special account will continue to exist and continue to
accrue funds as individuals add in -lieu fees into that account, which
means that in the future, the City could acquire areas and sites within
the City in order to offset the parking needs that the City has.
Economic Development Manager Lane explained for Commissioner
Miller Sheehan that the idea with this in -lieu fee program is to collect
enough money to build up a fund for the City to provide replacement
parking, not to make sure that there is one parking space for every
business that wants to expand.
Chairman Mahler opened the public hearing.
Liz Garnholz, El Segundo resident
Ms. Garnholz questioned if parking meters will be installed sometime
down the road; questioned if property owners who expand will be
required to meet all parking requirements regardless of it being a
business or a residential property; and commented on a recent
newspaper article that cited an additional 100 parking spaces and
questioned where this additional space is located.

Ms. Crowley questioned what would happen if only a few people elect to
pay into this fund and decide not to use this structure.
Dave Plotz, 528 Richmond Street
Mr. Plotz noted his opposition to this provision due to his belief that the
overflow parking will negatively impact the residential areas; and
expressed his belief that the proposed fee is too low and that the vast
majority of property owners are being asked to subsidize a select few
commercial property owners in the Downtown area.
There being no further public input, Chairman Mahler closed the public
hearing.
Economic Development Manager Lane noted for Vice - Chairman Busch
that the City is not planning to install any parking meters; and reiterated
that the City is not selling spaces in the parking garage as part of the In-
lieu Fee Program.
Responding to Commissioner Frick's inquiries, Director Hansen
explained that there are several issues that have yet to be resolved,
such as the exact in -lieu fee; advised that staff is also evaluating a
number of other issues, including parking enforcement, whether or not it
makes sense to have restrictions within the garage, certain hourly limits
and to study how it will affect the balance of the Downtown area. He
emphasized that staff will watch the parking activities closely to make
sure it is an equitable provision.
Economic Development Manager Lane stated that- the in -lieu fee
represents one parking space; and stated that one parking space is
required when one adds a certain number of square footage — pointing
out that the fee would also depend upon the use; and stated that a
property owner has the option of providing parking on site or paying the
in -lieu fee.
Commissioner Miller suggested that some property owners on Main
Street could create additional parking by removing gates /fences at the
back of their businesses, thus avoiding a need to pay the in -lieu fee if
they expand.
In response to Commissioner Miller's suggestion, Director Hansen
stated that that may be possible; and stated that the City does have joint
use parking agreement provisions, which is subject to there being
enough surface area to create enough parking to address the
requirements of the code.

Commonly Asked Questions
Parking In -Lieu Program
What is an In -Lieu Parking Program?
In anticipation of the renewed vitality of the Downtown prompted by the implementation
of the Downtown Specific Plan, the is may considering a program that broadens the
options of property owners for providing parking if they wish to expand their
buildings /properties through new construction or reconstruction. This Program is known
as a Parking In -Lieu Program. Simply put, a property owner may pay a fee, in lieu of
providing parking spaces on site, and still meet the requirements of the Zoning Code.
Why Establish an In -Lieu Program?
• It encourages development when the in -lieu fee is lower than the cost of providing
parking on -site.
• It encourages development when there is no ability to provide parking on -site as
is the case in many older downtowns and historic areas.
What is the amount of the In -Lieu Fee?
• The fee varies widely depending upon local costs and policy decisions (Our
limited survey shows a range of a few thousand dollars to $29,000).
• Legally, there must be a nexus between the amount of the fee and the actual cost
of providing parking.
• In El Segundo, the maximum amount of the fee is $37,693 /space (estimated by
RSG) based on City costs associated with the parking garage. The fee may be
lower, but not higher, than this amount.
What happens to the Fees that are collected?
• Most commonly, fees are deposited in a special fund and used only to
acquire /develop additional off - street parking and related facilities.
• Funds are non - refundable and must be paid prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
Why would the City do this?
• In addition to providing more options to property owners, the City's public
parking is shared by more than one user, thus allowing parking facilities to be
used more efficiently.
• Shared parking takes advantage of the fact that most parking spaces are only used
part time by a particular motorist or group and many parking facilities have a
significant portion of unused spaces, with utilization patterns that follow
predictable daily and weekly cycles.
What Does a Property Owner Receive in Return for the Payment of the Fee?
• The assurance that the City's zoning code requirements vis a vis the provision of
parking have been met.
• The right to develop more square footage on their property than would otherwise
be possible.
uii4 -
Attachment G
What are the Recommended Provisions of El Segundo's Program?
The Program would be applicable to the Downtown Specific Plan area only.
The intent of the program is to stimulate development in the Downtown where there
are constraints that make development more difficult than in other areas of the City.
However, to provide flexibility, if additional parking is developed by the City using
funds generated by in -lieu program, it may be developed within Specific Plan area or
adjacent to the Specific Plan area.
The amount of the fee would be $12,500.
This fee is within the legally acceptable range, as determined by the City's consultant,
RSG, while being low enough to stimulate development. The fees in nearby cities
range from $12,500 in Hermosa Beach to almost $29,000 in Manhattan Beach.
Redondo Beach does not have a program yet, but is considering establishing one.
` The City of Beverly Hills has fine -tuned their program and it is used as a recruitment
tool for certain uses. Their fees vary from a few thousand dollars to over $25,000.
The fee would be payable before issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
The fee would be payable at this time so that costs may be incorporated into a take-
out loan.
The fee would be non - refundable.
If a use is changed from commercial/retail to residential, the fee will not be refunded.
The fee would be required to meet the Zoning Code requirements and, therefore,
could not be refunded.
The fee would be applicable to conversions from residential to a
commercial/retail use.
The fee would be applied to conversions in use from residential (which is exempt
from the requirement to provide parking) to commercial/retail as long as the
residential construction occurred subsequent to adoption of this program.
A status report on the Program will be submitted in one year and the Program
reviewed at that time for possible adjustment.
At this time, no specific limit is recommended on the number of in -lieu spaces that
may be approved. However, when the status report is prepared, it will assess the
impact of the Program on the Downtown- parking inventory.
The payment of the fee would not provide any vesting rights.
Payment of an in -lieu fee would not provide or vest any property owner with a special
right, privilege or interest of any kind in any parking facility that may result from
payment of the fee.
EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 5, 2003
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Orders of Business Public Hearing
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action (Public Hearing) regarding establishing a new parking
permit fee to add Article E to Chapter 8 -5 of the El Segundo Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Open Public Hearing;
2. Adopt Resolution establishing Parking Permit Fee;
3. Introduction of Ordinance for Parking Permit and waive first reading;
4. Schedule second reading and adoption of Ordinance on November 18, 2003; and /or
5. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On June 4, 2002, City Council approved a lease between the City of El Segundo and 612 Twin
Holdings LLC. The terms of the lease provided for development of a 187 -space parking
structure at 121 W. Grand Avenue of which 100 parking spaces were to be made available to
the City. It is anticipated that these spaces will be available by mid - December. This additional
parking helps to fulfill the goals and objectives of the Downtown Specific Plan. However, in
order to ensure that community members, merchants and downtown employees receive the
full benefits of the public parking spaces, parking regulations need to be established and
administered for the 100 spaces leased by the City. All public parking lots in the downtown
have time controls in place.
It is recommended that 50 spaces be made available for public two -hour parking between the
hours of 7:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. and 50 spaces be made available for permit parking from
7:00 AM until 6:00 PM. By establishing some permit -only parking, downtown merchants who
desire long -term parking for their employees, or employees themselves, could be guaranteed
off -site parking.

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (cont):
Permits would be sold by the City on a first come, first served basis at a cost of $600.00
($1.65 /day), issued annually. This amount is less than that charged at some of the larger
office developments in the City but similar to the amounts charged for public parking in other
nearby cities. The amount reflects the lower rents in the downtown.
The revenue generated by permit sales, which could be as much as $30,000 annually were
permits for all 50 spaces sold, would help to defray operating /maintenance and other costs of
the City's portion of the parking structure. Those costs are estimated at $55,600 per annum.
Permit sales could also help to defray the cost of patrolling the City's portion of the lot,
estimated at $13,600 /year, the cost of Y2 police cadet, as well as administrative costs of
issuing the permits. The Public Works Department, using existing budget resources, will
provide signage and painting of spaces, as necessary.
The developer, 612 Twin Holdings LLC, is also constructing approximately 7,000 square feet
of new retail on Grand Avenue and will lease the existing grocery store building to Cooke's
Family Market. The remaining 87 stalls in the parking structure would be used to meet the
parking requirements of the market and retail development. Any controls on those stalls would
be established and implemented by the developer who is the owner of the property.
Finally, staff recommends that the first 180 days implementation of these controls serve as a
test period. At the conclusion of the test period in mid -June, 2004, staff will report to City
Council on recommended changes to the controls, if any. The new program will be
administered by the Administrative Services Department and enforced by the Police
Department. An information sheet including commonly asked questions and the rationale for
staff's recommendations is attached.

CHAPTER 8 -5.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:

for the purpose of designating a "specified area," as defined by that
Article, and establishing parking permit fees;
B. This Resolution relies upon the information set forth in the
administrative record.
SECTION 2: Designation of Specified Area. In accordance with Article E of
Chapter 8 -5 to the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC "), the parking structure
located at 121 West Grand Avenue is designated as a "specified area" to the
extent that the City owns, leases, or otherwise controls parking stalls within that
structure.
SECTION 3: Calculation of Permit Fees.
A. Criteria used to calculate permit fees should include, without
limitation:
Comparisons to parking permit fees charged by comparable

owned or controlled by the City;
3. Estimated future capital improvement costs for City parking
facilities; and
4. Estimated market conditions for Los Angeles County and, in
particular, the South Bay.
B. Based upon the calculations set forth above, the permit fee that
must be paid to the City in accordance with ESMC § 8 -5E -90 for
calendar year 2004 is set at $50 per month for each permit stall or
$600 per year for each permit stall. The administrator may
0178

(Cal..Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; "CEQA ") and CEQA regulations (Cal.
Code Regs. Title 14, §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes, structures, and
approves rates and charges to obtain funds for capital projects needed to
maintain service within existing service areas. This Resolution, therefore, is
categorically exempt from further CEQA review under Cal. Code Regs. Title 14, §
15273.

Commonly Asked Questions
Parking Garage Controls
Will there be controls on parking of the public spaces? Yes, subject to City Council
approval.
Reasons
• There are controls on all other City lots.
• Airport parking has been a problem at other lots and could be a problem here.
• Long -term residents' parking was a problem at this lot subsequent to Ralph's
closing.
• Prior to the construction of the structure but subsequent to the closing of Ralph's,
the parking lot was full on a daily basis.
What kind of controls? Posted signs would be recommended.
Reasons
• Based upon earlier City Council direction, parking meters will not be proposed as
a control measure.
• All other downtown City lots are posted in order to control parking.
• Posted signs are an extension of controls that are part of a Police Department
enforcement program already in place.
What time limits should be imposed? A division of spaces between short and
longer -term parking would be recommended.
Reasons
• The Downtown project removed over 25 parking spaces as a result of
improvements related to landscaping, sidewalk widening and public safety. The
merchants, through DESI, have asked that they be replaced in the structure (i.e.,
that 2 -hr. spaces be made available).
• One larger employer has called to ask about leasing spaces in the structure and the
Department has had complaints about parking by other businesses' employees in
the lots at the rear of some Main Street businesses.
• Increased employee parking in the structure would make more street level parking
available for merchants.
• If 4 -hr. parking were provided, it would be more convenient for employees to
"roll their wheels" or otherwise circumvent the parking controls and utilize a
space for the entire day.
• Public Works officials do not feel that a study is warranted at this point in time;
rather, staff should use knowledge of the Downtown and familiarity with its
problems to recommend parking controls.
• Staff recommends the initial controls be in place for 180 days and evaluated for
their effectiveness.
O'1) 0
Would there be a charge to park? There would be a charge for permit parking
only.
Reasons
• Parking permits for all -day parking could provide funds to maintain the parking
structure and offset costs related to Police Department enforcement (estimated at
$13,600 /year). The developer has assumed maintenance costs of $16,000 /year.
• Permits could be sold on a quarterly basis to reduce administrative burden.
• Permits would allow parking from 7:00 AM — 6:00 PM.
• Evening parking would not be controlled unless a problem arose.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 05, 2003
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action to award agreements to The Jones Payne Group and
Wyle Laboratories, Inc. for design, construction monitoring and construction testing
services related to the Residential Sound Insulation (RSI) Program.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Award professional consultant services agreement to The Jones Payne Group for Design
and Testing Services; 2) Award professional consultant services agreements to Wyle
Laboratories, Inc. for Construction Monitoring and Oversight Services and for post - modification
testing for Bid Groups 3 and 4; 3) Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements; and
4) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
At its meeting of June 17, 2003, the City Council authorized staff to begin negotiations with
The Jones Payne Group for Design and Testing Services and Wyle Laboratories, Inc. for
provision of Construction Monitoring and Oversight Services. Staff has successfully
negotiated pricing for both of these proposed contracts in support of the RSI Program sound
insulating 100 residences each year.
FAA regulations require consultants utilized in support of the RSI Program to be selected
based on qualifications, not cost, and prices negotiated after selection. Staff had originally
budgeted for $360,000 for consultant fees, which represents an estimated 13.5% of an
approximate annual budget of $3 million (representing 100 homes at an average of $30,000
per home). Extensive negotiations were held with both consultant firms, and prices were
negotiated which represent 16% of an estimated $3 million dollar budget. After contacting
several other RSI Programs in the area, it was determined that this is an equitable rate for

Background and Discussion (con't):
consultant fees, with some programs' consultant fees reaching upwards of 25 %. The
remaining consultant fees being requested represent fees for necessary post- modification
testing for Bid Groups 3 and 4 (not accounted for in the budget, and "one -time costs" which will
result in additional efficiencies in the program and long term savings. It should be noted that
none of these costs are debited from the City's General Fund.
The Jones Payne Group has submitted a proposal for $400,311.16, which includes
$58,368.16 in "one -time costs" which will establish Standard Specifications and Details, and a
Policy and Procedures Manual. The Design and Testing Services agreement is based on a
fixed price fee.

Oversight Services and is based on a time and materials basis. Wyle has additionally
submitted a fixed price proposal for $29,278 for post- modification acoustical testing for Bid
Groups 3 and 4. (Wyle had previously conducted the pre- modification testing for these Bid
Groups)

otherwise have an ability to potentially retain the Director.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 05, 2003
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding approval of plans and specifications for the
Residential Sound Insulation Program's Bid Group 4 (72 residences).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Authorize staff to advertise an Invitation for Bids for General Contractors for Bid Group 4;
2) Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
Design work for Bid Group 4 (72 residences) is complete and ready for Construction bids,
which includes a 35 unit apartment building, a 16 unit apartment building, and 12 unit
apartment building, 8 condominiums, and a single family home. These residences will add to
the 220 residences which have received RSI Improvements to date, bringing the total number
of residences treated within the City to 292. (This group of homes has been labeled "Bid
Group 4" to signify the fourth group of homes under the City's RSI Program.)
Currently, the costs for sound insulation are shared between property owners and the City.
The City funds 80% of all costs through FAA grants, which requires a 20% matching funding
source as a requirement for each grant. Property owners pay 20% of the total cost; however,
some limited income participants are eligible to receive funding to cover the 20% match
through the City's CDBG program. One household slated to participate in Group 4 has been
approved to receive that funding.
The City has federal allocations totaling approximately $4,716,716 that have not been spent
and construction costs on Group 4 will draw from those funds. The engineering estimate for
these residences is $1,100,000 which will leave a balance of approximately $3,600,000 that
will be used for sound insulation of additional residential properties. This balance, however, is
expected to be augmented by future FAA grants.

I. BACKGROUND
In January 1991, the City of El Segundo entered into a contract with the California
Public Employers Retirement System (PERS) for the Public Employees Medical and
Hospital Care Program. The City had previously been self- insured for purposes of
providing medical insurance to employees.
Subsequent to 1991, all active employees eligible for medical benefits, as well as
those employees retiring from the City, have had access to the Health Maintenance
Organizations (HMO's) and indemnity plans made available to members of the
PERS Medical and Hospital Care Program.
Eligible employees, the City Manager and elected officials have the ability to
provide medical insurance coverage for themselves, as well as eligible family
members. As described in more detail later in this report, the City provides varying
medical insurance contributions, based upon the individual's status as a
represented or non - represented employee, or as an elected official.
Employees and elected officials who are eligible for a PERS retirement (5 years of
service and a minimum of 50 years of age), are also eligible to participate in the
PERS Medical and Hospital Care Program as a retiree from the City of El Segundo.
The City provides a medical insurance contribution to retirees, which is the same as
it provides to active employees. This has been the City's practice for all
represented (with the exception of the Firefighter's Association) and unrepresented
employees, and elected officials, since 1995. The Firefighters Association
negotiated for this benefit for retirees in 1997.
Retirees may access only the amount of the City contribution that is applicable to
the cost of their medical premium; any unused amount cannot be used for any
other purpose.
As has been well documented in the City's fiscal year 2003 -04 budget preparation
process, and elsewhere, PERS medical premium costs have been rising
dramatically. The average increase in premiums for plans in 2004 was 18 %; the
increases effective January 1, 2005 are expected to be approximately 16 %.
I. CURRENT MEDICAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTION FOR REPRESENTED
EMPLOYEES
Medical contribution benefits are negotiated in lieu of salary increases.
The City's 6 employee associations receive salary and benefit changes as a result
of negotiating individual labor contracts in the meet and confer process.
Depending on the priorities and interests of the specific employee association,
negotiated compensation changes may take the form of salary, medical and related
benefits, paid leaves, incentive and special assignment pay, etc.
130
1. POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION
Both the Police Officers Association and the Firefighters Association receive
a maximum medical contribution based upon the average medical premium
for PERS HMO's available to employees in the Southern California area.
PERS medical premium costs change each January 1St, and as of January 1,
2004, the maximum City medical contribution for these groups will be $807
per month. Both the Police Officers Association and the Firefighters
Association are entering into 5 -year labor contracts which provide for a
sharing of the increase in cost, if any, of the average HMO rates, in the fourth
and fifth years of their respective contracts. The average monthly
contribution for these groups since 1991 is $475.
2. CITY EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION
POLICE SUPPORT SERVICES EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION
Both of these employee associations also receive a maximum medical
contribution based upon the average medical premium for PERS HMO's
available to employees in the Southern California area. PERS medical
premium costs change each January 1St, and as of January 1, 2004, the
maximum medical contribution for these groups will be $807 per month.
Both groups have current labor contracts with the City through September
30, 2004. The average monthly contribution for these groups since 1991 is
$475.
3. SUPERVISORY AND PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Supervisory and
Professional Employees Association and the City provides for a maximum
medical contribution of $600 per month. The MOU does not include a
formula for future increases in the medical contribution, but the $600 per
month is reported as compensation to PERS, and any unused amount may
be taken as additional salary and /or deferred compensation by the
employee. This group is in a labor contract with the City which expires
September 30, 2004. The average monthly contribution for this group since
1991 is $529.
4. POLICE MANAGERS ASSOCIATION
The Police Managers Association was formally recognized as a bargaining
unit in June 2003 and is currently involved in contract negotiations with City
staff. The current medical contribution provided to this group is $800 per
month. The $800 per month is reported as compensation to PERS, and any
unused amount may be taken as additional salary and /or deferred
compensation by the employee. The average monthly contribution for this
group since 1991 is $621.
II. CURRENT MEDICAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTION FOR UNREPRESENTED
EMPLOYEES AND ELECTED OFFICIALS
1. Mid - Management, Confidential, Executive Management, City Manager
Changes in salary and /or benefits for the City's unrepresented employees
are considered annually by the City Council and any adjustments made are
131
by City Council resolution. The medical insurance contribution for these
employees is currently $900 per month and will increase to $1000 per month,
effective July 1, 2004. The medical insurance contribution is reported as
compensation to PERS, and as for the Supervisory and Professional
Employees Association and the Police Managers Association, any unused
amount may be taken as additional salary and /or deferred compensation by
the employee. The average monthly contribution for this group since 1991 is
$621.
The City Manager receives all of the benefits provided to Management/
Confidential employees.
2. Elected Officials
All elected officials are eligible to receive the same medical contribution that
the City provides to management/confidential employees, with one major
distinction.
The City Clerk and City Treasurer currently receive a medical contribution of
$900 per month, and as for Management/Confidential employees, the
amount is reported as compensation to PERS and any unused amount may
be taken as additional salary and /or deferred compensation.
The Mayor and City Council members are also eligible to receive the $900
per month medical contribution. However, any part of the $900 that is not
used to pay the cost of a medical premium is not available as salary and /or
deferred compensation.
Membership in PERS is elective for the City Treasurer, City Clerk and
members of the City Council, and they are responsible for paying their own
contributions to PERS, by payroll deduction from their salary.
Ill. DENTAL, OPTICAL AND LIFE INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONS
The City contributeS fixed amounts to pay for employee's dental, optical and life
insurance coverages. For the Police Officers Association, Firefighters Association,
City Employees Association, Police Support Services Association and Supervisory
and Professional Employees Association, the City contributes a capped monthly
amount between $85 - $135; maximum out -of- pocket expenses range between
$17.81 - $54.41 per month. The City fully pays the insurance coverageS for the
Police Managers Association, Management/Confidential Employees and elected
officials.

ADDING DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR A PARKING USE WITHIN
THE PLAN AREA (SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 03 -2)
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On May 28, 2003, The Aerospace Corporation filed an application for an
Environmental Assessment to amend the General Plan designation and
124th Street Specific Plan zoning for 3.93 acre property located at 401
North Aviation Boulevard to allow parking as an additional permitted use;
B. The Aerospace Corporation application was reviewed by the City's
Department of Community, Economic and Development Services for, in
part, consistency with the General Plan and conformity with the El
Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ");
C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under
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);
D. An Initial Study was prepared pursuant to the requirements of CEQA. The
Initial Study demonstrated that the project would not cause any significant
environmental impacts. Accordingly, a Negative Declaration ( "ND ") was
prepared and circulated for public review and comment between
September 18 and October 8, 2003;
E. The Department of Community, Economic and Development Services
completed its review and scheduled a public hearing regarding the
application before this Council for October 21, 2003;

No. ( approving Environmental Assessment No. 617 for Specific Plan
Amendment No. 03 -2; and,
H. The City Council considered the information provided by City staff, public

at its October 21, 2003 hearing including, without limitation, the staff report
submitted by the Department of Community, Economic and Development
Services.
SECTION 2: General Plan and Zoning. The proposed project requests to amend the
City's General Plan Land Use designation and the zoning regulations (124th Street
Specific Plan) in the ESMC as follows:
A. The Land Use Designation of the project site is 124th Street Specific Plan.
The applicant proposes to amend the 124th Street Specific Plan land use

B. The ESMC zoning classification for the project site is 124th Street Specific
Plan, which allows self- storage and accessory uses. The applicant
proposes to amend the 124th Street Specific Plan, which acts as the
zoning for the property, to allow parking as an additional use permitted to
be developed in the area.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. OVERVIEW OF THE CITY
The 124th Street Specific Plan area is located in the City of El Segundo, County of Los Angeles,
California. El Segundo is located approximately 18 miles from downtown Los Angeles and is
considered to be part of the Airport /South Bay subregion of the Los Angeles area (see Exhibit
1). The City of El Segundo is 5.46 square miles (3,494.4 acres) and is surrounded by the Los
Angeles International Airport to the north, the City of Manhattan Beach on the south, the City
of Hawthorne on the east, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. Based on the 2000 census data, the
City of El Segundo has a population of 16,0331 and a total of 7,261 dwelling units. The City also
currently has a large estimated daytime population of approximately 70,0002 which creates a
unique environment for El Segundo. Overall, El Segundo has a strong residential base with a
majority being single - family residences and a large portion living in multi- family units. Cities
bordering El Segundo such as Manhattan Beach and Hawthorne are predominately residential
neighborhoods with some commercial businesses along Aviation Boulevard. The City of El
Segundo is located along a major transportation corridor that can be accessed from the 405 San
Diego Freeway, the 105 Century Freeway which serves as a direct connection to downtown Los
Angeles, and the Green Line Light Rail System.
The Downtown area of the City is near residential areas and is a strong focal'point because of
the presence of the Civic Center. The area consists of older industrial buildings as well as the
"Smoky Hollow" industrial area. A large portion of the City south of El Segundo Boulevard
and west of Sepulveda Boulevard is occupied by the Chevron Refinery, which occupies about
one third of the City. There is a large single -family residential area in the northwest portion of
the City and a significant amount of multi- family units located throughout. Commercial uses
are scattered throughout the City while growth encourages office, research, and mixed type
uses. The 1241h Street Specific Plan area lies within the eastern portion of the city, which is
surrounded by a combination of industrial, office, and commercial uses. This area contains the
"super block" development, which is a rruxture of office, research and development uses,
including the Los Angeles Air Force Base3.
B. THE SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
The 124th Street Specific Plan area is located along the eastern border of the city, west of
Aviation Boulevard, between El Segundo Boulevard and 124th Street, adjacent to the Burlington
Northern Santa Fe Railroad tracks (see Exhibit 1.0 and Figures 1 and 2 below). The area is a
' 2000 Census data (www stag ca.gov)

rectangular strip consisting of 3.93 gross acres of land located just east of the Los Angeles Air
Force Base (LAAFB) and south/ southeast of the Northrop Grumman aerospace facility. The
Specific Plan area consists of two parcels of land that are relatively flat and were previously
used as non - required overflow parking for Northrop Grumman employees. The 124th Street
Specific Plan, approved on August 17, 1999, was initially created in response to the City's
growing need for economic diversity in order to attract new business without adversely
impacting the success of current local revenue generators. To this end, the Specific Plan
changed the zoning from Parking (P) to 124th Street Specific Plan, thereby restricting the uses to
self- storage and a City operated water pumping and treatment facility. Given the recent
security concerns and upgrades since September 11, 2001, particularly with respect to United
States government facilities, the strict self - storage land use limitation is no longer appropriate
for the Specific Plan area due to its proximity to the LAAFB located immediately west and
southeast of the site. Beyond the immediate security concern, The Aerospace Corporation will
benefit by increasing their overflow (non - required) parking capacities to support the research
facilities located south of the Specific Plan area. Additionally, the LAAFB will benefit by
securing alternate parking facilities during construction and implementation of the Space and
Missile Systems (SAMS) project.

IMPACT OF THE AEROSPACE DOWNsiziNG
The impact of the downsizing of the U.S. military on El Segundo has been uncertain over the
years. In the early 1990s, California's defense employment was reduced by 130,000, which
represented a substantial loss to the state. In the City of El Segundo, defense firms occupied
11.2 million square feet of space in 1992, with this total diminishing throughout the 1990's.
Revised September 2003

Commercial property markets are recovering in El Segundo, and the City has had to fund
alternative uses for certain spaces under such economic circumstances. Redevelopment and
adaptive reuse strategies are being implemented to promote the efficient use of such spaces.
The 124th Street Specific Plan area illustrates an area that shares common characteristics of
vacant industrial spaces. The property was previously used as surplus non - required parking
for Northrop Grumman employees that became available in May of 1998.
The Specific Plan area was established in response to the growing need for economic
diversification and to offer the City an alternative response for dealing with the losses in the
defense industry. The Specific Plan area is a positive alternative approach that illustrates the
City's willingness to welcome new business ventures into El Segundo.
D. RELATIONSHIP TO THE GENERAL PLAN
The 124th Street Specific Plan is meant to serve as both a regulatory and implementation
document to further the goals and visions of the El Segundo General Plan. Under the California
Government Code Section 65450, a Specific Plan may be prepared for the systematic
implementation of the General Plan for all or part of the areas covered by the General Plan. The
City of El Segundo's General Plan was adopted in December 1992, which included several goals
and objectives. In the General Plan, one of the goals is to create in El Segundo a strong, healthy
economic community in which all diverse stakeholders may benefit. This goal is to be met by building
support from businesses and local residents to mutually agree on the benefits derived from the
maintenance and expansion of the City's economic base. In relation to the General Plan, the
124th Street Specific Plan has been prepared in the same manner, which aims to implement
necessary and desirable goals that will mutually benefit both residents and the City.
The 124+s Street Specific Plan seeks to diversify the economic base of the City without
compromising the strength of existing local economies in the area. Proposef land uses within
the 124th Street Specific Plan will seek to balance economic development and offer residents
alternative services. In coinciding with these goals and objectives, the 1241h Street Specific Plan
looks to the General Plan as the fundamental guiding policy for the development of its own
vision and goals. The following are the goals and vision of the 124th Street Specific Plan:
1. Enhance the Economic Climate Through Diversity and Adaptive Reuse
Objective 1: To allow for a strong and healthy economic community by
accommodating the possibility of a diverse mix of uses from which all stakeholders
may benefit.
Objective 2: To allow for the adaptive reuse of targeted spaces that could potentially
benefit the City without adversely affecting local viable industries.
Objective 3: Support current services available within the City for its residents and
various businesses.
Revised September 2003
146
Objective 4: To support the mission/ function of The Aerospace Corporation and the
Los Angeles Air Force base by providing additional parking opportunities
2. Promote Compatible and Healthy Land Uses
Objective 1: Retain current uses and attract viable and safe uses that do not infringe
upon the economic viability of the Downtown area.
Objective 2: Ensure the protection of the public health and safety by attracting uses
that will not negatively impact the City.
3. Promote a Safe, Convenient, and Cost - Effective Circulation System that Serves the
Present and Future Circulation Needs of the Specific Plan Area and the City.
Objective 1: Support current City services available to the Specific Plan area, the
City's residents and its businesses.
Objective 2: Ensure that private development associated with the area makes a
conscious effort to mitigate against traffic impacts on the community.
Objective 3: Support City circulation policies which intends to further implement the
goals and objectives under the Circulation Element of the General Plan.
4. Accentuate the Overall Positive Image of the City
Objective 1: Provide convenient services to the residents and City without negatively
impacting the current surrounding community. ,
Objective 2: Facilitate the changing image of the City by providing alternative uses
that complement the current existing economic base.
Objective 3: Incorporate into the Specific Plan Area, well designed landscaping,
lighting, and signage elements that recognizes physical surroundings and takes them
into consideration.

III POLICIES, STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES
The 1241h Street Specific Plan is based upon a ten -year outlook for development and growth,
and all zoning policies of the plan shall be implemented under the guidance of the stated goals
and objectives. The Specific Plan area was developed to serve the City of El Segundo to provide
new development that offers support services for existing and future businesses, including local
residents. The Specific Plan supports the development of alternative uses that promote a
healthy mix of uses to diversify the rrucro- economy of El Segundo. Such uses that are
encouraged in the Specific Plan area are adaptive reuses in targeted areas, including alternative
uses such as general storage, warehousing and mini- storage that help to increase the efficient
use of underutilized spaces. The Specific Plan area will allow self- storage uses as well as
parking uses to support The Aerospace Corporation and LAAFB. In conjunction with the
development of storage facilities, the 124th Street Specific Plan would also allow the City to
develop a portion of the site as a water pumping and treatment facility. In the event the City
does not undertake the above - mentioned development, that portion of the property would then
be developed by the current property owner(s) (See Development Standards Section).
The Specific Plan enables new development in an area that is currently underutilized. New
development can potentially benefit the area with quality uses that provide an attractive, clean,
and safe use for the community. Where the 124th Street Specific Plan does not specify standards
or requirements related to the development of self - storage uses, the Mixed -Use North (MU -N)
Zoning Code development standards shall apply. Similarly, where the 124th Street Specific
Plan does not specify standards or requirements related to the development of parking uses, the
Parking (P) Zoning Code development standards shall apply.
A. Economic Development
In September of 1993, the Economic Development Strategic Plan was prepared for the City of El
Segundo in response to growing economic concerns caused by the dramatic defense cutbacks
within the City and across the nation. The need for the strategy was developed to address the
decline in the City's business activities and, correspondingly, a decline in the City's tax base9.
According to a study by Municipal Resource Consultants, in 1990, 68% of the general fund
revenues were paid by businesses and almost 507o of the general fund revenues were
contributed by the aerospace/ defense industnes'O. In 1990, almost 20% of general fund
revenues were paid by a single business and almost 40% were paid by ten businesses, all of
which are "at- risk" today".
This illustrates the highly concentrated revenue base of the City during those tunes. Those
trends still impact the City's economy today which have driven the need for new strategies that

will offer a more diverse mix of tenants for El Segundo. Therefore, the economic development
program was created and the following are a list of the objectives of the program:
♦ To diversify the economy against cycles and seasonality,
To provide jobs for residents and markets for local businesses,
♦ To enhance the City's tax and revenue base,
♦ To create a higher quality of life,
♦ To support community development o4ectives,
♦ To be an avenue for developing City -wide leadership,
♦ To implement public/ private leadership,
♦ To monitor the local economy by providing early warning about shocks and opportunities,
and
♦ To pro - actively direct the City's economic future.
In corresponding with the objectives of the Economic Development Strategic Plan, the 124th Street
Specific Plan seeks to expand the City's economic base by providing alternative development
within an underutilized area. The development proposed in the 124th Street Specific Plan aims
to provide an effective level of service to the community in order to maintain the quality of life
of its residents. It is evident that the City must undertake intervention methods before revenue
losses force cutbacks in residential and business services, which would detrimentally affect the
City's competitiveness. Thus, the Specific Plan area and any development within its boundaries
will seek to complement the objectives set forth in the Economic Development Strategic Plan.
Furthermore, the Specific Plan will not impede or infringe upon the economic success
associated with the "Downtown" environment.
B. Land Use
The development within the 124th Street Specific Plan shall be compatible with surrounding and
adjacent uses in order to further the goals and policies established in the City; s' General Plan.
The 124th Street Specific Plan area has been rezoned from the Parking (P) zone to the 124th Street
Specific Plan (124th Street SP) zone and shall encourage, if appropriate, the development of self -
storage or parking uses, including the option for the City to develop a portion of the property as
a water pumping and treatment facility. The change in zone is based on the following findings:
1. The area is currently underutilized. Consequently, expanding the zoning designation's use
options for the site will provide the City with zoning flexibility thereby creating the
potential for a more efficient use of the site.
2. The Specific Plan zoning designation will provide the opportunity to enhance the aesthetic
appearance of the site and will allow for desirable urban design elements and improve the
overall image of the area.
3. Adjacent uses are compatible with the zoning proposed by the 124th Street Specific Plan
since surrounding uses are light manufacturing, public facilities, and commercial offices.
Residents to the east of the project area off of Aviation Boulevard are also located more than
Revised September 2003
I5t
150 feet from the Plan area and are further shielded by the natural slopes adjacent to the
railroad tracks which screens the majority of the Specific Plan area from properties east of
Aviation Boulevard.
4. A re- designation or a re -zone of the area will not negatively impact the view, recreation, or
the quality of life associated with the community or residents within a one -mile radius of
the site.
C. Circulation
The 124th Street Specific Plan area is located at the northwest corner of El Segundo and
Aviation Boulevard south of 124th Street. Aviation and El Segundo Boulevards are both
major arterials that experience heavy congestion during weekday peak periods and at
critical times of the day operate beyond capacity at this intersection. Impacts associated
with the development of the Specific Plan area shall be minimal. In fact, except for
temporary construction impacts, there should be minimal additional trips associated with
the self - storage or parking uses proposed. The parking use would be for overflow use by
existing business in the area and not associated to any expansion of use.
Development within the Specific Plan area shall abide by the following policies:
1. Ingress and egress to the Specific Plan area shall be taken off of 124th Street.
2. Emergency vehicles only will be allowed access from El Segundo Boulevard.
3. Entry to the Specific Plan area may be controlled and limited by providing access through
the LAAFB security gate on 124th Street, and across the base to the Specific Plan area.
4. In the event that access via the LAAFB should become unavailable, alternate access directly
from 124th Street shall be provided by the property owner.
5. The traffic generated by development within the Specific Plan area shall not generate more
than 184 new trips per day.
Circulation of the Specific Plan area shall not interfere with the ingress and egress of the
Northrop Grumman facility.
7. All parking required by new development within the Specific Plan area shall be provided
within the Specific Plan area, and no on -street or off - premise parking will be allowed.
D. Aesthetic
The design and development of the Specific Plan area provides the opportunity to enhance the
aesthetic image of the area and its surrounding properties. Development of self- storage could
be conducive to the site because it is currently underutilized and furthermore, will not be
intrusive to the area. The design of all buildings will pay particular attention to the appropriate
treatment of facades and any new development within the plan area will also incorporate

15?
consistent designs and use quality materials throughout the premises (refer to Exhibits). If the
City decides to develop the water pumping and treatment facility, the fagade appearance, use of
colors and materials will remain consistent with the design of other buildings in the plan area.
Overall, the development and design of the Specific Plan area aims to blend within its
surroundings and make a positive contribution to the community.
E. Landscaping
Landscaping will be adequately provided within the Specific Plan area to maintain a pleasing
atmosphere for visitors and surrounding residents. There will be adequate and contemporary
landscaping which will minimize impacts and enhance view sheds from adjacent properties. If
self - storage uses are developed on the site, landscaping will be provided between buildings,
along the property lines, and within parking areas in order to enhance the overall design of the
site and increase the image of the area.
F. Public Safety
Development within the 1241h Street Specific Plan shall ensure that the activity proposed and the
use of the property will not endanger the public's general welfare, health and/or safety. Any
activity or development within the plan area shall not create or pose any public nuisance to the
City or its surrounding community. The following policies shall be followed to ensure public
safety:
1. Lighting shall be adequate and shielded to minimize off -site illumination and shall conform
with the Development Standards set forth in this Plan (refer to Section IV Development
Standards).
2. Site design, building configurations, and operational procedures shall comply with City
police safety policies to ensure public safety on site and its adjacent uses.
3. Development shall consider alternative or appropriate designs that will rrutigate and
minimize the negative impacts associated with views, noise, odor, light, and glare.
4. Security fencing shall be provided along the perimeter of the Specific Plan area to ensure
public safety. If parking uses are located on the site the security fencing may be required
only on the north, east, and south perimeters.
G. Signage
Signage within the Specific Plan area shall encourage the effective use of signs as a means of
identification in order to maintain and enhance the aesthetic environment and the City's ability
to attract sources of economic development and growth; improve pedestrian and traffic safety;
minimize the possible adverse effect of signs on nearby public and private property; and enable
the fair and consistent enforcement of sign restrictions set forth under the Development
Standards within this plan (refer to Section IV). The development standards established within
the 124th Street Specific Plan shall further specify and conform with the policies and guidelines
set forth in Section 20.60 of the El Segundo Municipal Code.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 5, 2003
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action on a request from Boeing Satellite Systems to place a
temporary oversized sign, for a period of two months, on the north side of its building at 1950
East Imperial Highway. Applicant: Boeing Satellite Systems.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Approve Boeing Satellite System's request to install one oversized sign for two months;
2. Alternatively discuss and take other action related to this item.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
On October 20, 2003, Boeing Satellite Systems submitted a letter to the City requesting
approval of a 28' x 96' (2,688 square feet) temporary sign, which would be in place for two
months from November 11, 2003 to January 10, 2004. Section 15 -18 -8H of the Municipal
Code requires that any sign over 500 square feet must be approved by the City Council.
The proposed sign would cover approximately one - quarter of the north face of the building at
1950 East Imperial Highway, which is entirely occupied by Boeing Satellite Systems. The City
Council has approved a number of large temporary banners on other buildings along Imperial
Highway in the past few years. This banner would be smaller than many of the DirecTV
banners that have been approved. However, this is the first banner request that does not
celebrate a specific company milestone or event. The proposed banner includes a website
address for prospective employees to learn about careers at Boeing.

Attention: James Hansen, Director

Dear Mr. Hansen:
CEDS
V I-E DD
On behalf of Boeing Satellite Systems, I am requesting City Council approval for the temporary
hanging a large 96 feet wide by 28 foot high banner on the North face of our S12 building,
located at 1950 E. Imperial Highway, El Segundo CA. The purpose of this banner is to advertise
that Boeing is hiring.
It is proposed that the banner be allowed to hang for 60 days starting on November 10 2003.
Removal would be January 10, 2004.
Attached is a photo simulation of how the banner would appear from Imperial Highway.
The total area of the North - facing wall of the building is approximately 17600 square feet. The
existing Boeing signage that is shown on the attached photo simulation is approximately 10 feet
by 40 feet.
Your approval, and that of the City Council at the next scheduled council meeting of November
5 2003, of this request is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Scott Haynes
