RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize staff to accept proposals for professional services for the preparation of amendments to the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and Municipal Code, and preparation of an Environmental Impact Report, and /or; Alternatively, discuss and take other actions related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: On October 5, 2004, the Council received a report from Mayor McDowell on the current status of the Dynegy /NRG power plant at 301 Vista Del Mar. Due to the possible "mothballing" of the facility and uncertainty surrounding the approval of the proposed repowering project pending with the California Energy Commission (CEC), the Council directed staff to examine the potential rezoning of the property to allow for alternative uses of the property. on next ATTACHED None FISCAL IMPACT: NOT AT THIS TIME Operating Budget: N/A Amount Requested: N/A Account Number: N/A Project Phase: N/A Appropriation Required: Yes X No (Funding not at this time) UKIUINATF-U 13Y: DATE: A, 1�- /'/3n 4.2610 ff Hansen, Director of Community, Economic and Development Services :YiF DATE: /0�i.7/, Y 008 1 STAFF REPORT: November 3, 2004 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) Page 2 The land use regulations for the use of the 34 -acre power plant property are determined by three elements: General Plan, Local Coastal Program (LCP) and Zoning Code (ESMC) contain the regulations for permitted uses and development standards that apply on the property. General Plan The 34 -acre power plant site has a Heavy Industrial land use designation in the Land Use Element of the General Plan. This designation permits only heavy manufacturing uses, such as construction yards, factories, generating stations, extraction of raw materials, and refineries. A maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.6:1 is permitted in the Heavy Industrial land use designation. The existing power plant is a conforming use. Local Coastal Program. In accordance with State law, the City adopted a Local Coastal Program (LCP) which establishes further land use controls for property in the coastal zone. The California Coastal Commission certified the LCP in 1980. The LCP is a specific plan for the properties in El Segundo's coastal zone which is the area of land west of Vista Del Mar, South of Grand Avenue, and north of 45`6 Street at the Manhattan Beach border. The City's current LCP designates the Dynegy /NRG Power plant as Power Plant (PP) and defines the permitted uses in that area. Electrical generating stations, accessory buildings, on- site repowering, and on -site modifications to existing facilities are the only permitted uses in the PP designation. Zoning Code The Zoning classification of the site is Heavy Industrial (M -2). This designation permits only heavy manufacturing uses at that site such as construction yards, factories, generating stations, extraction of raw materials, and refineries. Section 15 -6B -5 of the ESMC states that permitted uses in the Light Industrial (M -1), Mixed —Use (MU -N and MU -S), Corporate Office (CO), and all commercial zones (C -3, C -2, and C -RS) may be allowed in the M -2 Zone with the approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Amendments To allow commercial development on the property would require that the City amend the General Plan, LCP and zoning regulations. Possible redesignations include the existing General Commercial (C -3) Zone or the development of a new mixed -use zone that would permit offices, retail, hotels and recreational uses. An amendment to the LCP would also have to be approved by the Coastal Commission. If the land use designation and LCP designation were amended to allow commercial uses, which no longer permitted generation stations, the existing power plant would become a legal non - conforming use. If the plant ceased operations for more than one year, it would lose its ()09 STAFF REPORT: November 3, 2004 Page 3 nonconforming rights and not be allowed to restart operations. Every future use would then have to conform to the new commercial zoning. Any of the proposed changes would require environmental review and would take 15 -18 months to complete. The review would evaluate the potential environmental impacts of the amount of development that might be allowed under the new zoning. Budget Planning staff would prepare the amendments to the General Plan and zoning regulations. Staff recommends that consultants be retained to revise the Local Coastal Program and prepare the EIR. The estimated cost for the City to revise the General Plan, Local Coastal Program, and zoning regulations to expand and analyze the impacts of new land uses on the power plant site is approximately $350,000. The source of the funds will be determined when staff returns to the Council in a couple of months with a recommendation for hiring a consultant to prepare the EIR and amendments to the Local Coastal Program. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council authorize staff to begin work on the General Plan and zoning regulation amendments and accept proposals for services for preparation of amendments to the Local Coastal Program and an EIR for amendments to the General Plan, LCP, and zoning regulations.

(Fiscal Impact $50,648) COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Award the Aquatic Master Plan Consultant contract to RJM Design. 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the standard professional services contract on behalf of the City. 3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: In February 2004 City Council appointed an Aquatic Task Force to develop an Aquatic Master Plan for the City of El Segundo. Two Recreation and Park Commissioners along with some community members and staff comprise the task force. On September 8, 2004 two members of the task force and staff held interviews with the three companies that had responded to the Aquatic Master Plan request for proposal. The unanimous recommendation from the interview panel to the Aquatic Taskforce was to contract with RJM Design. The Aquatic Task Force recommended RJM Design Consultants to the Recreation and Parks Commission on October 25, 2004. The Recreation and Parks Commission is recommending the RJM Design firm to the City Council.

Aquatic Master Plan Document The projected time line for this project is to start November 2004 and have a completed aquatic master plan by April 2005. The other two company's that were interviewed for the Aquatic Master Plan, included Sports Management Group, out of Berkeley California and Purkiss -Rose located in Fullerton California. Sports Management proposal was for $40, 900. Purkiss- Rose's proposal was for $35,900. Both of these companies has a great deal of experience in design and construction of aquatic facilities, but were not as strong in the development of an Aquatic Master Plan. 1.

Please review the covenants and sign both copies of this Agreement and return both to this office, Office of Project Implementation - MS1. Alterations should not be made to the agreement language or funding.

The attached Finance Letter shows these deadlines as the "Reversion Date ". Please ensure that your invoices are submitted at least 60 days prior to the reversion date to avoid any lapse of funds. If your agency is unable to seek reimbursement by this date you may request an extension through a Cooperative Work Agreement (CWA).
