WHEREAS, The United States Government has declared April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month
and Peace Over Violence (formerly the Los Angeles Commission on Assaults Against
Women) has declared April 25, 2007 as Denim Day in Los Angeles County to draw
attention to the fact that rape and sexual assault remain serious issues in our society; and
WHEREAS, Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Denim Day were further instituted to call
attention to misconceptions about sexual assault, and the problem that many in society
remain disturbingly uninformed with respect to issues of assault and forcible rape, and
WHEREAS, The importance of this issue is underlined by statistics indicating that someone is sexually
assaulted in America every 2- and -a -half minutes, 61% of rapes are not reported to the
police and only t- in - 16 rapists are prosecuted, and
WHEREAS, Wearing jeans during Sexual AssaultAwareness Month, became an international symbol
of protest of harmful attitudes about rape in r999 after an Italian Supreme Court decision
overturned a rape conviction because the victim wore leans The justices reasoned that the
victim must have helped her attacker remove her leans, implying her consent, and
WHEREAS, The Los Angeles Commission on Assaults Against Women organized Denim Day in LA to
invite public discourse, and to eventually eliminate attitudes that blame the victim and
prevent victims from seeking assistance, because the same attitudes held by the Italian
Supreme Court exist here in our communities, and
WHEREAS, Survivors of sexual assault deserve support and assistance, not shame and blame, and
with proper education on the matter, there is compelling evidence that we can be
successful in reducing incidents of this alarming and psychologically damaging crime.
NOW, THEREFORE, on this 3rd day of April, 2007, the Mayor and the Members of the City Council of
the City of El Segundo, California, do hereby proclaim the month of April 2007 as Sexual Assault
Awareness Month, designate April 25, 2007 as Denim Day, and encourage our citizens to wearleans on
Wednesday, April 25, 2007 to help communicate the message that there is no excuse and never an
invitation to rape

requirement be removed but that El Segundo residents always be given priority registration
and participation priority over non - residents, that in -pool participation maximums of 8 -10
persons per lane (80 total in -pool participants) be set to maintain pool safety standards, and if

million which was deposited into the Economic Uncertainty Fund
Designate $1 5 million in the Economic Uncertainty Fund toward Government Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) 45 This is an accounting standard which requires the City to
record short term and long term liabilities for retiree health and other than pension
obligations Setting aside money toward this obligation combined with the City's ongoing

who will report to City Council a variety of potential alternatives for funding the requirement
at the Fiscal Year 2007 -2008 Strategic Planning Session
2 Designate $1 5 million in the Economic Uncertainty Fund for Fire Station #2 With the cost
of construction continuing to grow at an estimated 1 5% per month, this will give the City an
additional protection against inflation prior to the award of the construction contract in early
2008
3 Increase the General Fund Unreserved, Undesignated fund balance as of September 30,
2006 by the average Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate of 4 79% or $583,903 This is the
average Los Angeles /Riverside area CPI rate for the 12 month period of October 1, 2005
through September 30, 2006 The fund balance policy adopted by the City Council in FY

increased annually by the CPI, and this increase was not made for the past 2 fiscal years
4 Designate $1 2 million in the Economic Uncertainty Fund to be set aside for the anticipated
funding shortfall in Gas Utility User's Tax of $1 2 million With the uncertainty of the future
operations of the local power plant, this will give the City a head start toward phasing this
revenue source out completely beginning in FY 2007 -2008
5 Transfer $1 2 million to the Equipment Replacement Fund to bring it closer to fully funded
This will replenish funds that have been depleted in previous budget years

AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action to waive the formal bidding process and approve the
purchase of 20 TASER International Model X26 Tasers with digital cameras and holsters from
Pro Force Law Enforcement in an amount not to exceed $28,230 from the asset forfeiture
fund (Fiscal Impact None)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1) Pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code Sec 1 -7 -10, waive the formal bid process
based on a sole source vendor for the purchase of TASER International Model X26
Tasers with digital cameras and holsters from Pro Force Law Enforcement
2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this Item
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION.
In 2001, the City Council authorized the police department to purchase 22 TASER
International M26 Tasers and equip each patrol car and the SWAT Team with these electronic
control devices as a force deployment option Since the purchase and deployment of the M26
Tasers, technological advances have emerged including the addition of an integrated audio
and video digital camera, which is an option on the X26 model
On September 19, 2006, the City Council approved the 2006/2007 budget which included a
Capital Outlay Request in the amount of $77,940 from asset forfeiture to purchase 60 TASER
International Model X26 Tasers The TASER International Model X26 Taser is the only
ambidextrous law enforcement electronic control device with the added feature of an
integrated audio and video digital camera

Background and Discussion (continued)
In December 2006, six TASER International Model X26 Tasers were purchased from Pro
Force Law Enforcement and, following the completion of necessary training, deployed by the
Department's Use of Force staff for evaluation The Use of Force staff has completed their
evaluation and recommends moving forward with the purchase and deployment of additional
TASER International Model X26 Tasers
The primary reason for this recommendation is due to the capabilities of the attached digital
video camera which provide both audio and video recordings of an incident when the X26
Taser is deployed The ability to capture both audio and video recordings is beneficial for use
during criminal prosecution, excessive use of force allegations and investigations, and use of
force tactics training Additionally, the X26 Taser is smaller in size and easier to manipulate
Although the X26 Taser is smaller than the current M26, the controlling capabilities are equal
At this time, Police Department staff recommends replacing the M26 Tasers currently in all
patrol cars and those assigned to the SWAT Team with TASER International Model X26
Tasers It is further recommended the department equip and train animal control personnel
with X26 Tasers as these electronic control devices have proven effective in controlling
aggressive dogs
Upon deployment of the X26 Tasers, Department Staff will continue to evaluate this force
deployment option to determine if assigning an X26 Taser device to all field personnel would
be a more efficient manner of deployment
The justification to utilize Pro Force Law Enforcement as a sole source vendor for the
purchase is due to Pro Force Law Enforcement's being the sole authorized distributor of the
Taser Model X26 within California
Staff recommends the City Council waive the bidding requirements and authorize a purchase
from Pro Force Law Enforcement in an amount not to exceed $28,230 for the purchase of 20
TASER International Model X26 Tasers with digital video camera attachments and holsters to
replace the current electronic control devices

STAFF REPORT: April 3, 2007 Page 2
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
Engineers (MRH) provides plan review services for the department to ensure construction
documents conform to the adopted building code at a cost not to exceed an amount of
$257,544 for Fiscal Year 2006 -2007 The fees charged by MRH for their services are a
percentage of the plan check fees collected by the City This is a common fee structure in
the industry for plan review services The monies collected by the City are paid by the
applicant to compensate the City for the resources used to review the documents Fiscal
Year 2006 -2007 has been an extremely busy year for the department Several large scale,
complex projects including Plaza El Segundo, Corporate Campus (The Edge), Chevron
Refinery Coker Plant remodel, the new Aerospace Parking Structure and Office Building,
Teledyne and others have absorbed an enormous amount of the department's resources
(staffing and budget) The Plaza El Segundo and the Corporate Campus projects alone
have cost approximately $193,000 to date this fiscal year for plan check services
conducted by MRH Structural Engineers
All construction related documents for these large scale projects, which have been
submitted to the City for plan review, has been outsourced to MRH to ensure compliance
with all related building codes As stated earlier, the costs for these services are paid for
by the applicant The Planning and Building Safety Department has exhausted the original
$257,544 that was budgeted for these services in the professional services agreement
The Planning and Building Safety Department requests that the professional services
agreement with MRH Structural Engineers be amended to increase the amount in the
agreement and the purchase order by an additional $375,000 Staff believes that this
amount should be sufficient based upon the anticipated projects for the remainder of the
fiscal year (September 30, 2007)

The total amount budgeted for Fiscal Year 2006 -2007 Is $10,000 The amount of Building
plan check and permit activity and Planning application activity has Increased substantially this
fiscal year because of numerous large projects and the $10,000 budgeted for this year has
been expended (through an existing purchase order) Therefore, the Planning and Building
Safety Department Is requesting an additional $15,000 for a total of $25,000 for Fiscal Year
2006 -2007 to cover the expense of these needed services Plan retention fees collected at
time of permit Issuance offset most of the cost of this service
During the 2000 -2001 fiscal year staff contacted three possible vendors for proposals for
microfiche services Data Mlcrolmaging Company was selected based on the cost and quality
of service Data Microlmaging Company has continued to provide high quality service over the
past 6 years Therefore, Planning and Building Safety staff recommends continuing with Data
Mlcrolmaging Company and enter into a Professional Services Agreement for the remainder of
Fiscal Year 2006 -2007 Planning and Building Safety staff anticipates transitioning to
scanning of documents using the Questys system as the method of document retention for the
next fiscal year

STAFF REPORT- April 3, 2007 PAGE 2
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
The Police Department and the Department of Planning and Building Safety have no
concerns regarding the issuance of the three ABC license types
The approval of the modified hours of operation for the three ABC license requests would
be for the convenience of serving the applicant's customers at the various indoor
restaurants within the market, and not a necessity Three new license requests are
required, since the market is under construction as part of a new shopping center (Plaza El
Segundo) and the applicant does not currently possess Type 21, 41, and 42 licenses On
March 14, 2007, the Director of Planning and Budding Safety Department approved an
Administrative Use Permit application (EA No 744, AUP No 07 -03) for 760 South
Sepulveda Boulevard The Director conditioned the approval of the Administrative Use
Permit to limit the hours of operation to 6 00 a m to 12 00 p m , seven days a week for the
grocery store and the restaurants located within the grocery store The wine tasting room
hours of operation were conditioned to be limited to 11 00 a m to 12 00 p m , seven days a
week The hours of operation previously requested and approved in the original
Administrative Use Permit were for 7 00 am to 11 00 pm seven days a week and the wine
tasting room hours of operation were from 11 00 am to 12 00 am seven days a week
The Director's decision was forwarded to the Planning Commission on March 22, 2007
The Planning Commission chose to Receive and File the item and the conditions of
approval
The ABC license review is a separate application from the City's AUP process, which
requires mandatory findings that are regulated by the Department of Alcohol Beverage
Control The Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) in addition to reviewing the
City's AUP approval is responsible for running a complete background check on all alcohol
license applicants, as well as conducting site inspections, before the issuance of any type of
license

Administrative Use Permit Findings
Mrs. Gooch's Whole Foods Market
850 S. Sepulveda Boulevard, El Segundo
1. Describe in detail the entire proposed project (type of construction,
materials to be used, uses involved, i.e. bank, general office, industrial,
restaurant, etc.) buildings and other equipment necessary to the project.
The applicant is the Mrs Gooch's Whole Foods Market which is proposed to go into an
approximately 65,000 tenant space of a new mayor commercial development at 850 S
Sepulveda Boulevard, north of Rosecrans Avenue The associated parking for the
center will be held in common and will meet parking demand with convenient access
from the mayor arterials The development of the shopping center will be designed to
enhance this location as a major commercial center with landscaping, orientation and
buffering to prevent potential impacts of the commercial uses on any sensitive use
The applicant has an approved Administrative Use Permit as allowed under Section 15-
22-3 of the Code to permit a Mrs. Gooch's Whole Foods Market to do the following
1 Sell a full line of alcoholic beverages for off -site consumption in conjunction
with the operation of the market (Type 21 ABC License)
2 Sell beer and wine for on -site consumption in conjunction with the operation
of a restaurant within the market. (Type 41 ABC License) 52 seats will be
available for alcohol service
3 Sell wine for on -site consumption in conjunction with occasional wine tasting
events within the market (Type 42 ABC License)
The applicant is proposing to modify the previous grant to permit
Expansion of store hours from 7;00 a m to 11,00 p m., to 6.00 a m to 12 00
a m , seven days/week This includes the sale of alcoholic beverages
2 Expansion of wine - tasting hours of operation to 11 00 a m to midnight, seven
days a week
3 Acoustical music during wine tasting events and in the restaurant
The earlier opening time will facilitate the sale of breakfast The later hour will allow the
market to remain consistent with other grants in the vicinity
The music will simply enhance the high quality shopping experience at the market as
well as during the wine - tasting events
EA- 744,AUP 07 -03
072
760 S Sepulveda Blvd
All of the uses will remain secondary to the primary use of the Mrs Gooch's market
operation Each of the licenses will continue to meet ABC standards for that type of
license For example, the restaurant Type 41 License will include a full menu and
operate as a "bona fide eating establishment ", and the wine tasting area will have
controlled ingress and egress with clearly defined and designated physical barriers to
separate it from the adjacent off sale license
2. Describe the existing development on the site. Include square footages and
uses of each building on the site.
The site is currently under construction, with a planned opening date of April, 2007
Other portions of the commercial center are under various stages of development
3. Explain in detail why this particular site is especially suited for the proposed
development.
This area was planned for large -scale uses, commercial and industrial The mayor
arterials of Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue provide adequate access to
the site
The proposed market location is convenient to those who intend to purchase, enjoy or
sample fine alcohol as well as other food and beverage items in the market The ability
to taste wine before buying A suggests that the store will be highly desired by both
amateur and professional wine connoisseurs in the area The wine tasting service is
unlikely to bring long lines of customers or create any significant change to the type of
activities expected at a quality major market To attend these events, people will
purchase tickets either in advance or at the door No one can attend without a ticket and
no one under 21 will be allowed in The events will be held only in the wine tasting
area. The wine tasting area, approximately 600 square feet in size, is toward the back of
the store where wines are stocked and not within view of the entrance This section will
be cordoned off to prevent customers from "crashing" the event and to maintain the
maneuverability of shopping carts
The ambience of the store is intended to draw a sophisticated clientele The hours of
operation are fully within the normal hours of operation of the market, reflecting the
shopping habits of the market's clientele and the hours of operation of many other
businesses nearby The property will also be well lit and well maintained and the
business operator has a strong history of responsible business practices
Alcohol sales and consumption has become an expected convenience at quality
markets such as Mrs Gooch's Mrs. Gooch's Whole Foods Markets only see wine
tastmgs as an opportunity not to sell more wine but to sell better wine by educating and
inspiring the customers Similarly, all of their alcohol sales are designed to compliment
v `7 3
and enhance their capacity as a full serve market, a market with an expected long -term
relationship with the community
4. Describe how the proposed project relates to the development of adjacent
properties and the immediate area and will not have detrimental effects to the
adjacent properties or neighborhood.
The planning, zoning and development on all surrounding properties reflect larger scale
development serving community commercial and Industrial / office uses There are no
sensitive uses that might reasonably experience an Impact from any of the uses
proposed in this application Finally, per City of El Segundo guidelines, the alcohol
license will be transferred from another property within the County, so there will be no
net Increase in the number of license in the area
For these reasons, we respectfully request approval of the subject applications

Re: Modification to Administrative Use Permit (AUP) No. 05-03
Dear Ms. Baldenegro:
Erna 61,,990?099
I hope this letter will provide a better explanation of the music we hope to be
able to hear at the Whole Foods Market in Ell Segundo.
The music will be acoustic music — primarily guitar — which will be background
music NOT entertainment. This music would be played occasionally on the
evenings, weekends or during holiday shopping periods.
People will not come to Whole Foods Market with the intention to listen to the
music. There will not be a schedule posted or advertisements posted or malted
with the names /dates of the musician /s who will be playing at the store.
We are a grocery store and our intention is to create a calm, pleasant shopping
experience. The music is intended to add to the ambience of the store, not be
the focal point; we prefer our food items and cuisine to be the primary focus.
A good example of our concept would be Nordstrom's use of live piano music as
people browse or shop. Patrons do not frequent the store solely to listen to the
music but are usually in a better frame of mind because of it.
If you have questions or need additional information please call me at 818/501-
8484, x 111.
Sincerely yours,
Lydia ervera

project on the northern portion of the Corporate Campus site), an upcoming project at 1700
Grand Avenue, the Chevron refinery, the El Segundo Power Plant Rezoning, and several
other projects) and long range planning assignments (including the Housing Element)

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 3, 2007
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING. New Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION*
Consideration and possible action to approve a license agreement between the City of El
Segundo and Thomas Properties Group, LLC regarding the naming rights of the athletic fields
located on the northeast corner of Nash Street and Mariposa Avenue (Fiscal Impact $1 5
million in revenues received in exchange for naming rights)
COUNCIL ACTION*
1) Approve attached license agreement between the City of El Segundo and Thomas
Properties Group, LLC, 2) Deposit funds received from the agreementwith Thomas Properties
Group, LLC into the City's Economic Uncertainty Fund and schedule specific discussion of the
funds during the upcoming Council Strategic Planning Session, 3) Alternatively, discuss and
take other action related to this item
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION.
On February 5, 2007, the City Council amended the City's policy on naming facilities to allow
the City Council and staff to negotiate and license naming rights for specific facilities within the
City The impetus for that action was the potential to negotiate with corporate entities that
might have an interest in purchasing the naming rights for the athletic facility currently under
construction at the northeast corner of Nash Street and Marposa Avenue
During the week following the Council's action, the Thomas Properties Group, LLC (TPG)
contacted staff and indicated that they were interested in purchasing the naming rights for the
athletic fields on behalf of the future anchor tenant on the Campus El Segundo project
Accordingly, the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern and City Manager met with a representative from TPG
to discuss the issue After some negotiation and analysis of the "value" of naming rights at
that location, the two parties agreed that TPG would pay to the City a sum valued as follows
$1 5 million, paid in two installments and $610,000 in project improvements, including grading,
enhanced fencing and gates, and additional landscaping
(Please see attached page marked "Background and Discussion ")

Background and Discussion (con't):
The recommended term of the attached licensing agreement is twenty (20) years TPG
agrees to pay to the City $1 5 million in two installments $750,000 would be payable within
thirty (30) days of executing the agreement, and the second would be payable by January 31,
2008 In addition, TPG would have an option, on a year -to -year basis for up to ten (10) years,
to pay the City $75,000 in order to retain the naming rights for that year The agreement would
give TPG the option of naming the facility after itself, the Development or a tenant in the
Development The agreement calls for TPG to submit to the City a detailed plan for the
display of a logo on the two athletic fields The Sponsor shall retain the right to change the
name or logo, at its own expense, consistent with the terms of Section 1 of the agreement
The agreement would provide various protections to the City in the event of bankruptcy and
criminal acts In the event that the company for whom the field is named files for bankruptcy
protection, or an officer of the firm is convicted of a felony, the City would retain the right to
terminate the agreement with no obligation to return any portion of the Sponsorship Payment
The agreement also states that TPG may not sell or assign the naming rights to another
person or entity The agreement includes a provision whereby the City may allow additional,
but limited sponsorship opportunities on the site, such as engraved bricks, walls and /or
plaques, dedications, and related items However, such items would not conflict with the
primary field naming rights, and would be subject to the City's existing facilities naming policy
It should be noted that TPG is also providing funding for several on -site improvements Those
improvements, valued at $610,000, include steel fencing, perimeter landscaping and an
overhead archway structure These items of work were included in the project bid
specifications as "additive" items and provide a substantial enhancement of the project
Should the Council approve the agreement with TPG, staff believes that it is important to recall
that several actions were taken when the City Council provided funding for the Athletic Field
facility on December 5, 2006 Specifically, the Council took the following action
• Moved the $40,000 from the Capital Improvement account for the Teen Center
Retaining Wall Project to the Athletic Field construction account
• Moved $890,000 in general funds from the Douglas Street Gap Closure account to the
Athletic Field construction account
• Backfilled the Douglas Street Gap Closure account with $350,000 in Traffic Mitigation
Funds and $540,000 in Federal SAFETEA -LU funds
The Council also directed staff to come back with external sources of funding (e g , funding
derived from "naming rights ") in an effort to backfill funding sources available for the new fire
station that will be built next to the Athletic Fields On March 20, 2007, the Council took action
to provide additional funding for the fire station project However, staff believes it was the
Council's direction to revisit the funding sources for the Athletic Fields at a future date in the
event that the City was successful in receiving funds in exchange for Naming Rights
Accordingly, staff recommends that funds received from the agreement with TPG be deposited
into the Economic Uncertainty Account and that discussion of funds received from the
agreement be placed on the agenda under a specific line item during the annual City Council
Strategic Planning Session later this summer
In sum, staff believes that a partnership between the City and TPG represents an appropriate
and natural collaboration wherein both entities receive substantial benefits

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION'
At its meeting of November 5, 2003, the City Council awarded an agreement to The Jones
Payne Group for the provision of Design and Testing services The agreement was awarded
for a period of one (1) year, with the City's discretion of extending the agreement in one (1)
year increments for a maximum of three (3) years The City Council extended that agreement
at its meeting on April 5, 2005 and again on March 21, 2006

Background and Discussion (con't):
to conditions that arise during construction) The contract does not allow for design work to
begin for homes to be included in Group 23 or beyond Staff is proposing this current
extension to be awarded in order to continue design work while staff completes a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) for a new contract for design and testing services This proposed
extension would equate to six (6) months worth of new design and, at a pace of a group of 25
homes each month, result in designs for 150 homes divided over Groups 23 through 28
The proposal from the Jones Payne Group, Inc has submitted a proposal for $872,692 This
design work will include architectural assessments, designs for mechanical systems and the
associated electrical work, acoustical testing at 10% of the homes, Property Owner reviews,
and Punch List inspections The proposal reflects an increase in labor costs of 4% due to cost
of living allowance
The proposal also includes creating a CD -ROM for each group of homes with a digital record
of the scope of work for each home and a floor plan linked to photos of property elevations,
interior and exteriors of existing windows and doors to be treated, as well as special
conditions Staff is of the opinion that this interactive tool, which will be included in the
documentation provided to Contractors prior to bidding, will result in Contractors better
understanding the conditions of homes, and hopefully more accurate pricing
The costs of the contract extension reflect a are covered by Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) Grants and funding from Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA)

3 We have added scope for environmental services to update program specifications and
offer feedback to current policy with regard to lead paint and asbestos removal
4 Note that fee is burdened to assume there will not be an extension under the current
contract This is due to the fact we cannot assume we will be selected as the preferred
consultant under the next solicitation We understand that an RFP process will be initiated
with the intent of securing a consultant allowing for continuous design in 2007 Should the
selection process once again identify Jones Payne as the preferred team, management
costs for the next phase will decrease due to program overlap (assuming the same size
contract)
The attached fee is based on feedback we have received from the City with regard to bidding
schedules, design methodology, and contractor feedback Note the following
1 We assume the contract is based on 150 units
Design approach has been modified to limit assessments to the morning hours, with
concept packet production taking place in the afternoon Resources performing the
assessments visits will have the flexibility in schedule to participate in Punch Lists in
the afternoons as well as schedule and procure signed homeowner agreements The
pace to the design process is as follows
Week 1 — 8 Assessments/ 8 CP's
Week 2 — 8 Assessments/ 8 CP's/ 8 HOA's
Week 3 - 8 Assessments / 8 CP's/ 8 HOA's
Week 4 - 8 HOA's/ Bid Set for City Review
Week 5 - Buffer for issue resolution
Week 6 - Final Bid Documents
3 Fee is based on the assumption homeowners are scheduled for assessment visits
Monday — Thursday mornings (2 1day)
4 Fee is based on all design and construction meetings taking place Monday — Thursday
mornings
5 Fee is based on punches and finals taking place Monday — Thursday mornings and
Fridays
6 Fee is based on the assumption that if a homeowner issue pushes up against a bid
deadline, the bid package move forward and the homeowner issue continue through
the resolution process with insertion at the next available bid set
7 The fees allow for the M/E consultant to gather all necessary data for design of a
ventilation or cooling system Bid documents will be prepared design for ventilation
systems at all units and notating upgrade requirements for cooling
8 Per the request of the City, fee assumes no field level participation for pre - construction
walk - throughs (note hours have been budgeted for RFI's and design clarification)
9 Per feedback from City staff and Contractor's, fee includes a complete review of the
detail set with the goal of parsing the detail count in half
10 Per feedback from City staff and Contractor's, fee includes preparation of a submittal
requirement checklist to be provided to Contractor's to help streamline the review
process

STAFF REPORT- April 3, 2007 Page 2
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
The City's existing off - street parking and loading requirements have not been reexamined
since the late 1990's Some of the standards no longer meet the needs and operational
characteristics of residential, commercial and industrial uses For example, recent commercial
office and retail projects, such as Plaza El Segundo at 850 S Sepulveda Boulevard and the
Edge (part of the Corporate Campus site) at 850 N Nash Street, have shown that some of the
existing off - street vehicle parking and loading requirements are not entirely appropriate for
large- scale, campus -style developments Also, existing standards for residential parking
space configurations and accessibility are marginally functional
Planning staff proposes to evaluate the ESMC Chapter 15 -15 in its entirety The primary
issues that are anticipated to be addressed include but are not limited to the following
Width and depth of parking stalls, vehicle backup dimensions, and aisle
dimensions for commercial, industrial, and residential uses The intent is to
provide flexibility for commercial parking structure design to address different lot
configurations for greater ease of ingress and egress to parking stalls and to provide
options for alternative width and depth of parking stalls and aisle dimensions to achieve
equivalent ease of access. Additionally, the standards for width and depth of parking
spaces and vehicle backup dimensions, both in garages and in unenclosed on -grade
configurations, will be evaluated to ensure that they meet the needs of single -family and
multiple -family residential uses
Number and dimensional requirements of loading areas for commercial and
industrial uses. The intent is to provide adequate loading areas that are appropriate
for the land uses on the properties rather than to structure requirements by zone
Driveway ramp standards. The intent is to develop standards for driveway ramp
design particularly addressing functionality and safety including where driveway ramps
and pedestrian sidewalks or walkways intersect
Simplify and clarify code requirements The intent is to incorporate past
interpretations into the code where applicable and to make the understanding of the
requirements easier for the public
Establish requirements for minimum number of spaces for new categories of
land uses. The intent is to modernize the standards where appropriate relating to
different land uses by adding standardized requirements for the minimum number of
spaces for new categories of land uses where industry standards exist for such use
categories rather than to require parking demand studies Changes to the number of
required vehicle spaces for residential and /or general commercial office and /or retail
uses are not anticipated at this time
The Planning and Building Safety Department presented this information at the Planning
Commission meeting of March 22, 2007 for their information and to discuss both the proposed
issues to be analyzed and any additional areas that they would recommend be studied The
086
STAFF REPORT April 3, 2007 Page 3
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.)
Commission concurred that the parking and loading standards should be studied and
evaluated They did not recommend any specific additional areas for study, however they felt
that parking and loading space dimensions and parking lot/parking structure design were
especially important along with residential parking design They also recommend that a
comparison to other cities' regulations be included
A copy of ESMC Chapter 15 -15 and the existing adopted Zoning Code Interpretations are
attached for your reference
RECOMMENDATION AND FUTURE PROCESS
Planning and Budding Safety staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to review and
to prepare municipal code amendments to the existing off - street parking and loading
requirements in El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) Chapter 15-15, Should the City Council
direct staff formally to make amendments to the Municipal Code, staff would prepare the
necessary text amendments and environmental review documents and schedule the matter for
public hearings before the Planning Commission followed by the City Council The entire
process is anticipated to take approximately four months to complete

ZONING CODE INTERPRETATION
SUBJECT: Back Up Space (Aisle Width Clear) for
Residential Parkins
Section: 20.54.050 A.(2)
Page: 248
This section of the code requires a 25 foot back up space for 900 angle parking. For
residential garages this 25 feet may be modified depending on the location of the
existing residence and garage. Please refer to the descriptions below for determining
the "buildable area" on lots in which a detached garage is located behind the residence
Legal Non - Conforming
When the existing back up space between the house and the garage is less than 25
feet, the following procedure should be used to determine the buildable portion of the
lot- a line should be drawn parallel to and 10 feet from the edge of the driveway furthest
from the dwelling. A second line should be drawn to extend the rear portion of the
house closest to the driveway into the driveway (i.e showing the minimum back up
,_- distance currently provided) The intersection of these two lines forms the maximum
point to which new construction may be extended. A line should be drawn from this
point to the required width of the garage (or the maximum width of the existing garage if
it is substandard in width) This line will define the required back up space and the "no
build" area where no new construction is allowed. (Please refer to the attached drawing
"A.")
Conforming or Exceeding Standard
When the existing back up space between the house and the garage is greater than or
equal to 25 feet, a line should be drawn from the required width of the garage (or the
maximum width of the existing garage rf it is substandard in width) to a point that reflects
the minimum required standards of the Code This point is defined as follows a line
parallel to and 25 feet from the garage should be drawn A second line, parallel to and
10 feet from the edge of the driveway furthest from the dwelling should be drawn. The
intersection of these two lines reflects the minimum required standards of the Code and
is the maximum point to which new construction of the house may be extended The
line connecting the garage and this point will define the required back up space and the
"no build" area where no new construction is allowed. (Please refer to the attached
drawing 'B ")

SECTION #- 20.54 050 C
PAGE #:
On March 26 and April 9, 1998, respectively, the Planning Commission determined that
compact parking for hotels and recreational uses are permitted to a maximum of twenty
(20 %) percent of required parking spaces.
Given the lack of specificity in the Zoning Code regarding compact parking for non -retail
commercial uses, and the similar parking operational characteristics between hotels and
offices, the Planning Commission felt it would be appropriate to permit compact parking
for hotels and recreational facilities in the same percentage as permitted office and
industrial uses.

Section 20.54 050 A (1) requires compact spaces to be 8 -1/2 feet wide by 15 feet deep
Compact Parking Spaces in excess of the required parking may not be reduced to less
than these dimensions (8 -1/2' by 15'). This interpretation was applied in July 1998 to 201

PAGE #: 24 44 AND 244
Parkang spaces are required for outdoor dining areas at the same ratio required
for all restaurants, which is 1 space per 75 square foot of net floor area. The walls
which surround outdoor dining area are structures (20.08.855) and therefore the
area is included as floor area. The exception for courts or atriums uncovered and
open to the sky does not apply to outdoor dining areas.

ZONING CODE INTERPRETATION
SUBJECT: Required Parking for Single- Family & Two - Family
Dwellings
SECTION #: 20.54.030 A.
PAGE #: 244
Two parking spaces are required for each dwelling unit and one additional space
for dwelling units exceeding 3000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. Sections 20.08.360
and 20.08.415, respectively, define dwelling unit and floor area. These sections
are not clear if the intent is to include the square footage of an attached garage
when calculating the gross floor area and determining the required number of
parking spaces. The intent of the Planning Commission and City Council when
adopting the one additional required space for dwelling units over 3,000 sq ft. was
to accommodate additional vehicles and storage normally associated with larger
homes, which can accommodate more people. Therefore, when calculating if a
dwelling unit is over 3,000 sq. ft. do not include the garage area.
Although the Zoning Code does not provide a definition of garage, the Uniform
Building Code defines a garage as a building used to store motor vehicles. Any
portion of a garage which cannot realistically be used to store a vehicle, such as a
storage closet, workshop or a washer /dryer area, should not be calculated as part
of the garage, but should be included as part of the dwelling unit. This
interpretation also provides equity with lots that are developed with detached
garages which are clearly not a part of the main building or dwelling unit, by not
penalizing lots that are developed with attached garages.

Tire stops and overhangs (e g. storage cabinets, room additions, etc ) may encroach
into the minimum required depth of a residential garage space as follows
Tire stops not more than 6 inches high may be located a maximum of 3 feet from the
garage wall opposite the garage door. This height restriction allows the bottom of the

SUBJECT: Parking- Tandem Spaces in CO Zone
SECTION #• 20.54.050 B.
PAGE #: -242
On April 9, 1998, the Planning Commission determined that tandem parking in the
Corporate Office (CO) Zone is permitted for manufacturing and warehouse uses up to 20%
of the required parking, but not permitted for office uses. The Zoning Code specifically
permits tandem parking in all other commercial and manufacturing zones for office and
manufacturing uses. The Commission determined the intent of omitting the CO Zone in
1993 was to prohibit tandem parking for the large multi- tenant parking structures in the
zone. It was not intentionally adopted to limit tandem parking for existing non - conforming
manufacturing and warehouse uses in the CO Zone.

ZONING CODE INTERPRETATION
SUBJECT:
SECTION #. 20.54 030 A (2)
PAGE #: 244
Parking — Visitor Parking
Two (2) Visitor Parking Spaces are required for the first five (5) dwelling units and two (2)
Visitor Spaces for each additional 3 units (e g. 1 -5 units = 2 visitor spaces, 6 -8 units =
4....) for Condominiums, Residential Co -ops, and Multi- Family dwellings. The definition
of Multi - Family Dwellings and Condominiums indicates a minimum of three (3) dwelling
units. Therefore, any number of dwelling units less than three (3) does not require visitor
spaces, and this Section should read "(e.g. 3 -5 units = 2 visitor spaces), as no visitor
spaces are required for only one (1) or two (2) dwelling units.
