QI EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 7, 2007 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Orders of Business AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to open a Public Hearing and adopt Resolution finding the City to be in conformance with the annual Congestion Management Program (CMP) and adopting the annual CMP Local Development Report, in accordance with California Government Code Section 65089. RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Open Public Hearing; 2. Discussion; 3. Adopt Resolution; and /or 4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: The Congestion Management Program (CMP) became effective with voter approval of Proposition 111 in June 1990. The CMP is a tool to facilitate coordination between transportation and land use decisions. It requires agencies to weigh the impacts of traffic generated by developments and requires the mitigation of additional congestion. In accordance with State law, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has adopted the CMP for Los Angeles County. Cities within the County are required to comply with the adopted CMP or risk the loss of Gas Tax revenues received pursuant to (Continued on the next page) ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 1.

Proposition III. The MTA requires that by September 1St of each year, local agencies submit a self - certification Resolution and a Local Development, Report pursuant to a noticed public hearing as required by State law. The self - certification Resolution consists of the following: A finding that the City is in conformance with the CMP. 2. Certification that the City will continue to implement the Transportation Demand Management Ordinance. (City Zoning Code, Chapter 15 -16). 3. Certification that the City will continue to implement a Land Use Analysis Program. (City Council Resolution No. 3805). 4. 2007 Local Development Report. In previous years, the CMP required the City to calculate the total debits and credits accruing from building and demolition permits and transportation improvement strategies and to maintain a positive credit balance. The City's credit balance as of May 31, 2003 was 6,642. On February 18, 2004, MTA suspended the requirement that cities maintain a positive credit balance and suspended the requirement to calculate credits and debits resulting from construction activity and transportation improvements strategies, while it prepares a nexus study to explore the feasibility of implementing a congestion mitigation fee to meet CMP Deficiency Plan requirements. The City's current credit balance remains frozen until MTA completes its study. This year the City is only required to report the number of dwelling units permitted and the floor area of new non - residential buildings and demolitions. The attached Local Development Report summarized the development activity for the June 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007 reporting year. Staff from the Departments of Public Works and Planning and Building Safety have worked together to develop the Local Development Report.

Among other things, the CMP requires municipalities within Los Angeles County to submit Local Development Reports to the MTA by September 1St of each year; D. The City Council held a noticed public hearing on August 7, 2007; E. Based upon the August 7, 2007 public hearing, the City Council determined that 1.

The City adopted and continues to implement a transportation demand management ordinance consistent with the minimum requirements identified in the CMP Transportation Demand Management Chapter; 3. The City adopted and continues to implement a land use analysis program consistent with the minimum requirements identified in the CMP Land Use Analysis Program Chapter; and 4.

Also, if a more efficient way to construct the project is identified, cost savings can be accomplished through credit change orders. On June 20, 2006, City Council approved Change Order Numbers 2, 3, 6 & 8 in the total amount of $71,490.76 and on November 8, 2006, Council approved Change Order Numbers 1, 11, 13 and 14 in the amount of $156, 860.81. On February 20, 2007, Change Order Numbers 10, 15,16 and 17 were approved by City Council in the amount of $283,936.56 and on June 19, 2007, Change Orders 10 -1, 18, 19, 20, 21, & 22 were approved in the amount of $390,675.00. Since that time, additional change orders have been encountered. It is recommended that Council authorize the Director of Public Works to execute change order Numbers 4, 23 & 24 in the amount of $422,700.00 as described below. The change order numbers are referenced by the Construction Engineer's numbering system and are not in sequence. As issues are encountered during construction, change order numbers are assigned to each issue such that any additional costs can be tracked separately. Staff has deemed Change Order Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 10 -1, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, & 24 to be valid and negotiated change order costs with the contractor. Change Orders 5, 7, 9 and 12 are still issues that may or may not result in formal contract change orders to be considered by Council. 021 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (continued) Page 4 of 6 Contract Change Order No 4 $393,000.00 This change order accomplishes the following changes: ➢ Parking Lot Improvements at 601 Hawaii — The City took a $393,000.00 portion of the parking lot at 601 Hawaii through eminent domain to $29,700.00 construct the Douglas Street Gap Closure Project. As part of the settlement agreement with the property owner, the City is required to reconfigure the parking lot at this address to provide the same number of parking spaces as existed prior to the project. This change order pays the contractor to construct the parking lot modifications consisting of earthwork & grading, striping, AC paving, slurry seal, landscape & irrigation, electrical work, barrier wall, concrete flatwork, reinforcing and surveying. Total Change for Change Order No. 4 $393,000.00 Contract Change Order No 23 $29,700.00 This change order accomplishes the following changes: ➢ Chipping and Encasement of Existing MTA CIDH's - Three existing columns in the median of the new segment of Douglas $29,700.00 Street support the Green Line over the project. The project required excavation around the columns down 20 feet to the new roadway. The original contract includes work to patch and dress - up the columns once exposed. After excavation, it was discovered that the buried portions of the columns were wider than the median that is to contain them requiring that the columns be trimmed significantly. This change order pays the contractor to carefully chip the columns down around the base of the columns to reduce their diameter. As an additional aesthetic improvement, the change order also pays the contractor to form and pour an octagonal jacket around the columns to emulate the column section above. Total Change for Change Order No. 23 1 $29,700.00 022 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (continued) Page 5 of 6 Contract Change Order No 24 $0 This change order accomplishes the following changes: ➢ Retention Release. The current contract requires the City to $0 retain 10% from payments to the contractor to cover potential claims from subcontractors of suppliers. If subcontractors or suppliers are not ultimately paid be the general contractor, they would be paid through the 10% retention. The Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (SSPWC)(Section 9- 3.2) includes language allowing the agency discretion to retain 10% on only the first half of the work if the work performed by the contractor has been satisfactory. The current contract specifically deleted Section 9 -3.2. The proposed change order would add the following statement to Section 9 -3.2 of the project specifications (page II -B -35) to reinstitute discretion to reduce retention: "After 50% of the Work has been completed and the progress of the work is satisfactory, the deduction to be made from remaining progress estimates and from the final estimate may be limited to $500 or 10% of the first half of the total contract amount, whichever is greater." This statement is verbatim from SSPWC Section 9 -3.2. The City is currently holding $1,706,098.30 in retention. The proposed change order would give the City discretion to retain 10% on only the first half of the estimated total contract amount or $1,007,099. The remaining retention ($698,999) could be released to the contractor and no further retention would need to be withheld. Total Chan e for Change Order No. 24 $0 023 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (continued) Page 6 of 6 Balance of Contingency City Council authorized a 10% contingency ($1,923,903) to cover additional work discovered during construction.

These change orders will be submitted for Council consideration in the future. Staff continues to work with the contractor and the construction manager to mitigate additional costs and to identify and implement measures to reduce costs. 024 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 7, 2007 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Reports of Committee Boards and Commissions AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action regarding purchase of a new video surveillance system for monitoring early turn of LAX aircraft overflights of El Segundo at the 700 block of W. Imperial Avenue. (Fiscal Impact: $45,000 in FY 2006 -07) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Approve the recommendation of the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Committee (ASNAC) to replace the obsolete LAX monitoring . system with a state -of- the -art video surveillance system; (2) Instruct staff to develop plans and specifications in consultation with ASNAC; (3) Authorize the staff to advertise project elements for bid; (4) Approve an appropriation of $45,000 for project financing; (5) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: At City Council direction, Councilmembers Jacobson and Fisher have worked with the ASNAC and staff to evaluate replacement options for the obsolete video camera system located on the public right -of -way strip in the 700 block of West Imperial Avenue. After a lengthy assessment process the evaluation team identified a set of workable options that were presented to ASNAC for consideration at their July 24th meeting. As previously reported to the Council, three approaches were evaluated: (1) a radar -based solution, (2) a GIS -based solution that employed a radar feed, and (3) a variety of videocam- based systems. While it was found that both the radar and GIS -based solutions had advantages and benefits over a videocam solution, it was determined those approaches result in costly and extensive development and implementation efforts. Further, given the resurgence in overflight complaints, ASNAC members felt it imperative that the new system be installed as soon as technically feasible. (Continued on Next Page) ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None FISCAL IMPACT: $45,000 Operating Budget: $0 Amount Requested: $45,000 Account Number: 001 -400- 2901 -8108 Project Phase: Appropriation Required: X Yes _ No ORIGINATED BY: DATE: Bill Crowe, Assi tant C REVIEWED BY// Jeff Stgort, City Manager DATE: V1 /GI 025 3 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION CONTINUED: Therefore, the Committee unanimously approved a recommendation to request that the City Council pursue procurement of a new wireless videocam system to document early turn aircraft intrusions over El Segundo. Additionally, ASNAC requested that the City assist in reactivating the legacy system during the procurement and installation period. The recommended configuration consisted of a series of four surveillance cameras, a new easily - serviceable mast, a wireless transmitter, and networking software. One camera will be pointed at the takeoff end of the runway, one camera will be pointed at about a 45 degree angle to catch the turn, and one camera will be pointed straight up to view the exact position over the camera. A Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera will also be provided to allow improved viewing of other airfield activity. The cameras will be placed on a new 40' mast. The mast will be designed to tilt or otherwise allow lowering of the cameras for cleaning and adjustment when necessary. A 20Mb /s wireless link will be established from the pole to City Hall. This wireless link will be adequate to send all video back to City Hall live. At City Hall, the video will be recorded on a network video recording system, along with audio from the airport control tower departure clearance frequency. The system will use "video analytics" to identify movement in particular parts of the picture and send an email to interested parties including a still picture of the incident. ASNAC members, Council, and staff will be able to log into the system from anywhere on the web to view the video feeds. It is currently anticipated that the procurement and installation process will take from three to four months and that the mast tower and electrical wiring will be supplied by one vendor and the camera systems supplied by another vendor, since these are two different areas of expertise. 026 w m Q O a a Q LL O D Z O 0= D } Z m U J wQ Nr w� o� �Z U � 3 I V 2 0 o J U Q = p Z p 7 w O 0 Y Y U U w w x x U U p O > > N O v w a M W O N M t0 M W O C r• O N N O t� r r o IA W O W O l() cD I� O OO W m M O O 0 vj W fV M W IA W N (V W W U N W at D o n n u vi � N w c W lV o LL ° E O W m L O LL p z U a E W i j I=i Q OJ m Q N E = T O LL r W 5 a z y z N r o E m O LL Q O m Z Do p n L) z z Z a o z Y r O U Z W D O r p C x w > m ZO Za.00FrLLm LL JU UZZ� vi O 'o O O Q LL Y Fa- r W a Z N U Z W Q W w N Q LL LL Z N C y j) �zw Wuaxpp�a�aD m2mzzZzQUKRytrnN a u.7m a'oaa W NQN N W HLLZ QaN == W C O C C yy J ❑V- LLxxw�mfnZ>Oz< � O�Q ]Zy LL W W KMZ ar' P; CITY OF EL SEGUNDO PAYMENTS BY WIRE TRANSFER 7/612007 THROUGH 7/26/2007 Date Payee Amount 7/11/2007 West Basin 893,166.24 7/11/2007 Health Comp 757.17 7/12/2007 Employment Development 44,481.73 7/12/2007 IRS 226,000.52 7/13/2007 Federal Reserve 200.00 7/16/2007 Nationwide Retirement 29,127.81 7/17/2007 State of CA 1,301.54 7/18/2007 Cal Pers 256,938.18 7/18/2007 Health Comp 5,901.35 7/18/2007 Lane Donovan Golf Ptr 20,917.88 7/20/2007 La Salle 43,725.00 7/24/2007 Health Comp 2,727.92 7/26/2007 Employment Development 45,268.47 7/26/2007 IRS 225,811.53 7/6- 7/26/07 Workers Comp Activity 34,433.41 1,830,758.75 DATE OF RATIFICATION: 817/07 TOTAL PAYMENTS BY WIRE: Certified as to the accuracy of the wire transfers by: -7 /(0'7 Dep ty Tre surer Date 7ActingDir of Finance Date 6f Da Description H2O payment Weekly claims 7/6 State Taxes Estimate Federal Taxes Estimate Employee EE Bonds 457 contributions Child support withholdings Retirement Weekly claims 7/13 payroll transfer ABAG Payment Weekly claims 7/20 State Taxes Estimate Federal Taxes Estimate SCRMA checks issued 1,830,758.75 on actual expenditures is available in the City Treasurer's Office of the City of El Segundo. 028 REGULAR MEETING OF THE EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL TUESDAY, JULY 17, 2007 - 5:00 P.M. 5:00 P.M.

(Fiscal Impact: $89,800) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1) Authorize the acceptance of $89,800 in grant funds from the UASI 2006 grant program; 2) Authorize the City Manager to sign an Agreement with the City of Los Angeles who will serve as grant administrator; 3) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item; BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: In recent years the City of El Segundo submitted grant proposals to cover local needs for training, first response personnel, anti - terrorism, and emergency management operations. The grant awards included items such as an Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) vehicle, equipment for potential response to weapons of mass destruction, interoperable radios, and a law enforcement tactical response vehicle. The Homeland Security grant approval process has since evolved and decisions are now being made regionally, not by individual departments. Individual public safety organizations can still apply for items not on a regional list, but the chances for receiving a grant award are much reduced. For the UASI 2006 grant, the Los Angeles Area Fire Chiefs conducted surveys and meetings, with a final decision to utilize the $1,672,000 grant award to the Los Angeles and Long Beach Urban Area for interoperable breathing equipment.

Smith/fire Chief REVIEWED DATE: Jeff , City Manager ()59 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION (continued): standard for Self- Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) under Chemical Biological Radioactive Nuclear Equipment (CBRNE) guidelines were documented as follows: • CBRNE offers additional protection for firefighters in chemical and biological incidents, both terrorism and non - terrorism related. • SCBA will meet the new National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) standard 1981, 2007 edition. • Standardization means firefighters from neighboring jurisdictions can buddy breathe, use their Rapid Intervention Crew (RIC) kits to rescue each other, swap cylinders, and use "loaner" SCBA from other departments. • In the event of catastrophic events, where a department's equipment may be destroyed or contaminated, equipment can be borrowed from other departments to outfit firefighters coming on duty with equipment they are already trained on and comfortable with. As in past UASI grants, the City of Los Angeles remains the grant administrator with oversight by the California Office of Homeland Security. In addition, the City of Downey has agreed to manage the regional purchase, which means the City of El Segundo will not be required to appropriate any funding in advance. In accordance with the City Council Policy regarding grant submissions: 1. The grant award is made by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, through the Office of Grants and Training. The grant is administered by the City of Los Angeles and is overseen by the California Office of Homeland Security. 2. The total amount being requested is: $89,800 3. Matching Funds Cost -Share — n/a 4. Source of Matching Funds Cost Share: n/a 5. The grant does not provide up front funding. Municipalities encumber the approved funds and are reimbursed by the State of California in approximately 60 days: this will be managed by the City of Downey. 6. Conditions required under this -grant: a. Establish that an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) be in place prior to spending grant funding beyond $25,000 in any single year. b. All equipment (assets) purchased under the grant funding, if awarded, are required to be maintained for regional deployment as may be needed under federal grant rules. Replacement under the city's capital equipment replacement standards is not required, but is o tional under existing city replacement policy. c. The City of El Segundo shall maintain an asset inventory system for all items purchased under the Homeland Security grant programs in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding issued through the City of Los Angeles as the primary grant administrator. 060 EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 7, 2007 AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Calendar AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action regarding a new Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license for on -site sale and on -site consumption of alcohol (Type 47 — On -Site Sale and Consumption of Beer, Wine and Distilled Spirits) at a new restaurant ( "Chipotle ") located at 307 North Sepulveda Boulevard EA No. 753 and AUP No 07 -05. Applicant: Elizabeth Valerio RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Receive and file a determination that the City Council does not protest the issuance of a new Type 47 ABC license at 307 North Sepulveda Boulevard; and /or, 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: At its April 4, 1995 meeting, the City Council directed staff to bring all future ABC licenses to it for review. ABC regulations require a 30 -day review and comment period, for alcohol sales at restaurants, after notification of the local police and planning departments. The grounds of a protest should relate to public health, safety or welfare concerns. Restaurants with Type 47 licenses are specifically excluded from the ABC regulations, which require the City to make findings of public convenience of necessity in areas of "undue concentration" for off -site sale licenses, but based on previous Council direction, staff is providing undue concentration calculation background information.

According to the most recent Crime and Arrest statistics report (January 2006 — June 2007) prepared by the Police Department, the proposed restaurant is located in Reporting District (RD) 209. Based on reported data prepared by the Police Department, the district had a total of 9 arrests related to alcohol offenses. The Police Department and the Department of Planning and Building Safety have no concerns regarding the issuance of a new ABC license for this specific restaurant. The approval of this license request would be for the convenience of serving the applicant's customers at the restaurant. A request for a new license is required, since the applicant does not currently hold a Type 47 license, and there was no previous license issued for this address location. The applicant intended hours of alcohol sale are expected to be during the hours the restaurant is open. The restaurant's hours of operation will be limited to 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Sunday. On July 5, 2007, the Director of Planning and Building Safety Department approved an Administrative Use Permit application (EA No. 753, AUP No. 07 -05) for 307 North Sepulveda Boulevard. The Director's decision was forwarded to the Planning Commission on July 12, 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 Alcoholic Beverage Control. The Department of Alcoholic 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.

RSP 2 and RSP 3 are hereinafter referred to collectively as "Developer." City and Developer are referred to hereinafter individually as "Party" and collectively as "Parties." In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this First Amendment, City and Developer agree as follows: 1. Recitals. This First Amendment is made with respect to the following facts and for the following purposes, each of which is acknowledged as true and correct by the Parties: 1.1 RSP 2's and RSP 3's predecessor -in- interest, Rosecrans- Sepulveda Partners, LLC ( "RSP "), and the City are parties to a Development Agreement dated March, 2005 (the "Development Agreement "), which Development Agreement was recorded on April 6, 2005 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County as Instrument No. 05 0797875. 1.2 Unless otherwise stated in this First Amendment, all capitalized terms used in this First Amendment will carry the same definitions as those set forth in the Development Agreement. 1.3 On November 10, 2005, RSP and RSP 2 executed an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "RSP 2 Assignment ") whereby RSP conveyed to RSP 2, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of the Development Agreement, approximately 4.7 acres of the Property. The RSP 2 Assignment was recorded on January 19, 2006 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County as Instrument No. 06 0128517. 1.4 On November 10, 2005, RSP and RSP 3 executed an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "RSP 3 Assignment ") whereby RSP conveyed to RSP 3, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of the Development Agreement, approximately 37.3 acres of the Property. The RSP 3 Assignment was recorded on January 19, 2006 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County as Instrument No. 06 0128518. 1.5 As of June 19, 2007, City and Developer executed Operating Memorandum No. 1 to the Development Agreement ( "Operating Memorandum No. I"), which Operating Memorandum No. 1 was recorded on , 2007 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County as Instrument No. 07 . For purposes of this First Amendment, the term "Development Agreement" shall include Operating Memorandum No. 1. 1.6 The Development Agreement continues to cover the Property described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto. 1.7 Section 4.1.6 of the Development Agreement currently prohibits health clubs and fitness centers within the Project. Based on Developer's leasing experience since the Project opened in November, 2006, one or more prospective tenants whose operations feature 08? 44386 \1285096v1 1 7/31/2007 yoga exercise and whose space demands are less than 6,500 square feet, have expressed an interest in leasing space in the Project. After careful consideration, Developer and City have agreed that a use of that nature would not be inconsistent with the overall operation and quality of the Project. City and Developer have therefore agreed to amend the Development Agreement to permit one health club or fitness center to operate in the Project provided such use does not exceed 6,500 square feet of floor area. 1.8 The City Council has determined that none of the elements set forth in Public Resources Code Section 21166 or Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines ( "CEQA Guidelines ") exists and therefore has determined, in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21166 and Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, that no subsequent or supplemental Environmental Impact Report, Mitigated Negative Declaration or Addendum is required to be prepared prior to adopting the Ordinance approving this First Amendment. 1.9 Section 15 of the Development Agreement provides for amendment of the Development Agreement upon mutual consent of the parties and in accordance with the procedures established by the Development Agreement Act.

Public Resources Code § 21081 and CEQA Guidelines § 15091 require the City, before approving a project, to identify significant impacts of the project and, if significant impacts are identified, make one or more of three allowable findings based upon substantial evidence in the record for each significant impact: A. The first allowable finding is that "changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the Final EIR" (CEQA Guidelines § 15091(a)(1)). B. The second allowable finding is that "such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency" (CEQA Guidelines § 15091(a)(2)). C. The third allowable finding is that "specific economic, social, or other considerations make unfeasible the mitigation measures or Project alternatives identified in the Final EIR" (CEQA Guidelines § 15091(a)(3)). II. FINDINGS REGARDING THE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF THE PROJECT. A. Potential Impacts Found to be Insignificant by the Initial Study. The Initial Study identified the following environmental effects as not potentially significant. Accordingly, the City Council finds that the Initial Study, the FEIR, and the record of proceedings for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative and Plaza El Segundo Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative Development project with respect to the areas listed below. 1. Agricultural Resources. 2. Mineral Resources. 091 B. Impacts Identified as Potentially Significant in the Initial Study But Which Did Not Exceed Significance Thresholds in the DEIR. Although the Initial Study identified the following environmental effects as potentially significant, the City Council finds that the Initial Study, the FEIR, and the record of proceedings in this matter do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to the areas listed below for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative. 1. Aesthetics. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Scenic Vista. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site was previously developed with a variety of industrial and chemical manufacturing uses, which are currently in various stages of demolition and site remediation. Two industrial uses (Air Products and Learned Lumber) are currently active within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. An industrial gas production facility and RV storage area would be permitted under the proposed C -4 zoning, as would continuation of the existing lumber distribution facility use in its current location. (2) Scenic Vista. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is located in an urbanized area, with no prominent natural visual features or other attributes that would qualify the site or project vicinity as scenic. Buildings in the vicinity of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site range in height from one story to approximately ten stories. In addition, there are no scenic highways or corridors in the project area. Therefore, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza Del Segundo Project would not result in a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista. (3) Scenic Resources. While the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site does contain areas of vegetation, it does not contain any scenic resources such as trees, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings that could be affected by the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza Del Segundo Project. Additionally, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located within a State or County designated scenic highway. The closest highways to the project site are California Highway No. 1 (Sepulveda Boulevard), the Century Freeway (1 -105), and the San Diego Freeway (1 -405), none of which are designated as scenic highways in the vicinity of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Therefore, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza Del Segundo Project would not substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway. (4) Shade /Shadow. There are no sensitive uses (e.g., residences) immediately adjacent to the project site. Therefore, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza Del 2 092 Segundo Project would not result in any significant shade /shadow impacts. b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning or Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project with respect to Aesthetics. 2. Air Quality. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Objectionable Odors. Construction and operation activities associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development are not likely to produce objectionable odors. Most objectionable odors are typically associated with industrial projects involving the use of chemicals, solvents, petroleum products, and other strong smelling elements used in manufacturing processes, as well as sewage treatment facilities and landfills. These types of uses would not be allowed under the new Commercial (C -4) zoning and the proposed Plaza Eel Segundo does not include any of these types of uses. (2) Objectionable Odors. An industrial gas production facility would be permitted within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site under the proposed C -4 zoning, as would continuation of the existing lumber distribution facility use in its current location. However, these uses do not generate objectionable odors. While the previous uses on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site included chemical manufacturing processes, remediation of conditions resulting from these processes would not generate odors. (3) Obiectionable Odors. The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would include a variety of fast food and sit -down type restaurants which may produce odors as a result of cooking processes. However, these odors would be minimized through the various permitting processes required for restaurants. No significant impacts are anticipated as a result of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Project 3 093 b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project with respect to Air Quality. 3. Biological Resources. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Tree Preservation. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site does not contain any trees or vegetation that are considered by any local policies or ordinances to be protected. Additionally, there are no local tree preservation policies or ordinances within the City of El Segundo. Therefore, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as a tree preservation policy or ordinance. No impact is anticipated. (2) Habitat Conservation Plans. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is located in a highly urbanized area and was previously developed with industrial and chemical manufacturing uses. There are no known locally designated natural communities on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site or in the immediate vicinity. There are no conservation plans in the City of El Segundo. Therefore, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Project is not subject to, and therefore would not conflict with, the provisions of any adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Conservation Community Plan, other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. There are no such conservation plans in the City of El Segundo. No impact is anticipated. b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence 4 094 identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to Biological Resources. 4. Cultural Resources. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Historic Resources. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site was previously developed with industrial and chemical manufacturing uses. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site has been disturbed and the existing structures have either been demolished or are in the process of being demolished. There are no known historic resources located on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Implementation of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. No impact is anticipated. (2) Human Remains. There are no known human remains within the boundaries of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Development of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Project is not anticipated to disturb any human remains including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. No significant impacts are anticipated. b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to Cultural Resources — Human Remains. 5. Geology and Soil. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Earthquake Faults. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is located within the seismically active Southern California region and is subject to similar risks as other developments of comparable size and type located in the region. Active faults known to exist in the vicinity of the City of El Segundo include the San Andreas, Newport- Inglewood, Elysian, San Fernando, Sierra Madre, and Verdugo Faults. The Newport- Inglewood Fault is located approximately 3 miles from the project site. Alquist - Priolo zones are fault surface rupture zones. According to the City of El 5 095 Segundo General Plan Draft EIR, no active faults or Alquist - Priolo zones are located within the City of El Segundo. Therefore, the risk of surface rupture due to faulting is minimal. No impacts to the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development are anticipated. (2) Landslides. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site and the surrounding areas are predominantly flat, with no large hills or slopes. No landslides exist on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site or in the project vicinity. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans and Plaza El Segundo Project is not at risk of impacts from landslides. No impact is anticipated (3) Septic Tanks. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is located in an urbanized area and would be connected to the existing sewer infrastructure. No septic tanks or alternative waste water systems would be utilized on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. No impact associated with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Project is anticipated. b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to Geology and Soils. 6. Hazards and Hazardous Materials. a) Facts /Effects. (1) School Proximity. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located within one - quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. Proposed development under the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not emit hazardous emissions and would use and store only limited quantities of packaged hazardous substances. No acutely hazardous materials would be handled on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. During clean up /remediation of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, contaminated soil will be handled in accordance with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Therefore, no impact associated with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development is anticipated. 6 096 (2) Airport Land Use Plan. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located within the boundaries of the Los Angeles International Airport's (LAX) land use plan. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located within 2 miles of any other airport. Therefore, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project area. No impacts are anticipated. (3) Private Airstrip. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip and therefore, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not result in a safety hazard for people in the project area. No impact is anticipated. (4) Emergency Response Plan. Development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be required to conform to all applicable City of El Segundo emergency response and /or emergency evacuation plans. With full development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be accessible from Sepulveda Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue, Park Place, and Allied Way. The Plaza El Segundo Development would be accessible to emergency vehicles from Sepulveda Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue and Allied Way. The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would be required to comply with all applicable Fire Department and Public Works Department regulations pertaining to emergency access and evacuation. With adherence to City regulations, impacts associated with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza EI Segundo Development would be less than significant. (5) Wildland Fires. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is located in an urbanized area and is not situated near any wildlands. No impact related to wildfires would occur as a result of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to Hazards and Hazardous Materials. 7 097 7. Hydrology and Water Quality. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Flooding (Housing) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located within a 100- or 500 -year floodplain and the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development does not involve the construction of housing. No flood impacts on housing are anticipated. (2) Flood Flows. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located within a 100- or 500 -year floodplain. The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not place structures within a 100 -year flood hazard area which would impede or redirect flood flows. No flood impact is anticipated. (3) Levee or Dam Failure. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located in a 100 or 500 year floodplain. Additionally, there are no waterways or major dams located near the City of El Segundo' or the project site. Therefore, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam. (4) Seiche Tsunami, Mudflows. The relatively flat Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is located approximately 1.5 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site does not contain any enclosed bodies of water and is not located near any other large bodies of water. Therefore, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not be subject to inundation by seiches, tsunami, or mudflows. b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to Hydrology and Water Quality. 8. Land Use. a) Facts /Effects. I El Segundo General Plan —1992, Public Safety Element. 098 (1) Divide Established Community. The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not disrupt the physical arrangement of any established community. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site was previously developed with a variety of chemical and industrial uses. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is divided by two railroad spurs belonging to the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad, which run through the middle of the site. These railroad spurs would remain with implementation of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is located adjacent to other commercial and industrial land uses. Therefore, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not physically divide an established community. (2) Habitat Conservation Plans. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is located within an urbanized area containing a variety of commercial and industrial uses. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not included within and therefore would not conflict with any established habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan. Therefore, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural communities conservation plan. No impacts would occur. b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to land use. 9. Noise. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Airport Noise. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located within the boundaries of the Los Angeles International Airport's land use plan. Therefore, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels. No impacts are anticipated. 9 099 (2) Private Airstrip Noise. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip. Therefore, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not expose persons to excessive noise levels associated with a private airstrip. No impact is anticipated. b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to noise. 10. Population Housing, and Employment. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Replacement Housing. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site does not contain any residential land uses. As such, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not result in the displacement of persons or homes. No impact is anticipated. (2) Replacement Housing. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site does not contain any residential land uses. As such, implementation of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not result in the displacement of persons or homes. Therefore, construction of replacement housing is not required. No impact is anticipated. b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to population and housing. 10 100 11. Public Services a) Facts /Effects. (1) Public Schools. The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development do not include any residential uses that could directly increase the population within the City of El Segundo and increase existing demands for public schools. However, the potential indirect population increase from the new jobs created by the project may increase existing demands for public schools. The project site is located in the Wiseburn Elementary School District and the Centinela Valley School District. It is anticipated that full development (850,000 square feet) of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning would generate approximately 25 students (see Table 1). The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would account for 12 of the 25 students. As seen in Table 1 of the Revised Initial Study, very few students would be generated by the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. The number of students generated would constitute a less than significant impact on the schools. Payment of required school impact fees to the Wiseburn and Centinela Valley School Districts would ensure that there are no impacts to public schools from the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. (2) Libraries. The City of El Segundo has one main library located at 111 W. Mariposa Avenue. No residential uses are proposed as part of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. Therefore, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza Ell Segundo Development would not result in a direct increase in library use as a result of new city residents. A slight increase in use may occur as a result of new jobs, but the increase is anticipated to be less than significant and no new or expanded library facilities would be required. Additionally, developers within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be required to pay a City library service mitigation fee of $0.03 per square foot of development. Impacts would be less than significant. b) Mitigation: (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the 11 101 Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to public services. 12. Recreation a) Facts /Effects. (1) Parks. No residential uses would be permitted under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. Therefore, no increase in the City's permanent population would be anticipated and no direct impacts to parks and recreation facilities would occur. The proposed new General Plan designation and rezoning of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would result in increased employment of approximately 1,904 persons. This increase in employment could result in an indirect increase in demand for recreation and parks services. A potential indirect impact to parks and recreation may occur as a result of employees of the project utilizing existing facilities. However, employees typically do not enjoy long periods of time during work hours to make use of park or recreational facilities. (1) Parks. Many of the employees from the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site and Plaza El Segundo Development are likely to be residents of El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, and other nearby communities that currently make use of the area parks and recreational facilities. Therefore, the increase in employment as a result of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not generate sufficient demand to result in the need for new or physically altered facilities or cause substantial physical deterioration of existing facilities to occur or be accelerated. Impacts to recreation facilities associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would be less than significant. b) Mitigation. (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to recreation. 13. Transportation and Circulation. a) Facts /Effects. 12 102 (1) Air Traffic Patterns. Due to the nature and scope of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development, implementation of the project would not have the potential to result in a change in air traffic patterns at LAX or any other airport in the area. No impact is anticipated. (2) Emergency Access. With full development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be accessible from Sepulveda Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue, Park Place, and Allied Way. The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be accessible to emergency vehicles from Sepulveda Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue and Allied Way. This would provide emergency access to the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site from all directions. The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would be required to comply with all applicable Fire Department and Public Works Department regulations regarding emergency access and evacuation. With adherence to City regulations, impacts would be less than significant. b) Mitigation. (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to transportation and circulation. 14. Utilities and Service Systems. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Wastewater Treatment. Wastewater generated by the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would be of similar quality to that generated by other commercial projects, for which wastewater is treated by standard (primary, secondary, and tertiary) treatment processes. Improvements associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would comply with all applicable wastewater treatment requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not dispose of industrial wastes into the wastewater system. 13 103 (2) Solid Waste Regulations. Disposal of solid waste generated by the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development construction and operation phases will be subject to the requirements of applicable federal, state, and local statutes and regulations as enforced by the City of El Segundo Building Safety Division. Impacts related to solid waste disposal would be less than significant. b) Mitigation. (1) No mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts below a level of significance for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza EI Segundo Development. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to utilities and service systems. C. Impacts Identified as Potentially Significant But Which Can Be Reduced to Less - Than - Significant Levels or Which Can Be Avoided. The City Council finds that although the following environmental effects were identified as potentially significant in the FEIR, changes or alterations within the responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies and not the City have been adopted by such other agencies or can and should be adopted by such other agency to avoid or lessen the potential significant environmental effects listed below to a level of insignificance. Aesthetics. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) As a result of new construction at the previous low density, and now largely vacant, Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would be visible from multiple locations. Views of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would likely be available from more off -site locations than at present as existing fencing and landscaping would be removed. Existing off -site trees and vegetation would screen some public views of the project from these locations. The increased visibility of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site from these locations would not be a significant impact because the surrounding area is already urbanized, and future development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would comply with the development standards of the City of El Segundo to provide a consistent design and landscaping that would present a pleasing visual appearance. 14 104 (2) The height and mass of any commercial development proposed on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be consistent with surrounding commercial, industrial and office uses. The appearance of retail development would represent a noticeable improvement over existing remnant industrial facilities. Impacts associated with the change in visual character that could be associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be less than significant. (3) A greater number of view lines through the site would be opened up as a result of removing fencing and landscaping along the boundary of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, although some of these view lines could be blocked by future buildings. This effect would be less than significant because no views of scenic resources would be affected. (4) The Proposed Circulation Element Update Draft EIR requires analysis of potential impacts related to increased night lighting for later projects that would implement the proposed Circulation Element Update. Improvements to the Sepulveda Boulevard /Rosecrans Avenue intersection that would be required in order to address potential traffic impacts of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning would constitute a project that implements the Circulation Element Update policies. Based upon the analysis below, construction of this component of the proposed Circulation Element Update would not result in new effects related to night lighting that were not examined in the Program EIR for the proposed Circulation Element Update. (5) Increased on -site lighting associated with the permitted uses would increase on -site lighting levels substantially from the currently low levels of light emitted from the project area. Additionally, enhanced street lighting could be provided in conjunction with potential improvements to the Sepulveda /Rosecrans intersection. The resulting lighting levels would be consistent with existing ambient light levels on Rosecrans Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard and would be less than significant. In addition, the impacts of increased street lighting at the Sepulveda /Rosecrans intersection would be minimal compared to the effects of increased lighting of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. The closest sensitive receptors are separated from the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site by Sepulveda Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue, and commercial developments along Rosecrans Avenue. These intervening uses would block light generated by development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site and therefore, impacts to sensitive receptors from lighting would be less than significant. (6) Development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site to the levels allowed under the new Commercial Center (C -4) zoning would substantially increase the amount of reflective materials located on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site from the current levels. However, the resulting levels of glare 15 105 would be consistent with the existing levels currently found on Rosecrans Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard. In addition, use of non - reflective materials in the construction of any proposed developments would ensure that these glare impacts would be less than significant. Potential glare impacts to sensitive receptors would be less than significant for the same reasons identified above. Plaza El Segundo Development (7) The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be visible from multiple locations. The increased visibility of the Plaza El Segundo Development would not be a significant impact because the surrounding area is already urbanized, and proposed development would consist of an attractive shopping center with a consistent design and landscaping that would present a pleasing visual appearance. The height and mass of proposed development would be consistent with surrounding commercial, industrial and office uses. The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be visually compatible with the office and retail buildings located along Hughes Way and Rosecrans Avenue. The appearance of the proposed shopping center development would represent a noticeable improvement over existing remnant industrial facilities. Impacts associated with the change in visual character of the area as a result of development of Plaza El Segundo would be less than significant. (8) The development of the low intensity Plaza El Segundo Site has the potential to substantially alter the nighttime lighting characteristics of the Plaza El Segundo site and vicinity. Due to the high ambient level of night lighting that presently exists in the areas surrounding the Plaza El Segundo site, and the distance of the sensitive receptors from the Plaza El Segundo site, night - lighting impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be less than significant. (9) Development of the Plaza El Segundo Development would substantially increase the amount of reflective materials located on the Plaza El Segundo Site from the current levels. However, the resulting levels of glare would be consistent with the existing levels currently found on Rosecrans Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard and would be less than significant with the use of non - reflective materials in the construction of the Plaza El Segundo Development. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. C) Mitigation: Sepulveda / Rosecrans Site Rezoning 16 106 (1) Expansive areas of highly reflective materials, such as mirrored glass, must not be permitted. Non - reflective building materials must be used to the maximum extent possible to reduce potential glare impacts (B -1). (2) Lighting must be designed to minimize off -site glare (B -2). Plaza El Segundo (3) Expansive areas of highly reflective materials, such as mirrored glass, must not be permitted. Non - reflective building materials must be used to the maximum extent possible to reduce potential glare impacts (B -3). (4) Lighting must be designed to minimize off -site glare (B -4) d) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to Aesthetics. (2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. 2. Air Quality. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoninq (1) Maximum daily emissions from a typical construction project associated with the Proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning will not exceed SCAQMD's daily thresholds for Sox. (2) Between 2007 and 2012, emissions from construction activity may occur simultaneously with operational emissions associated with the proposed Plaza El Segundo. Combined emissions would not exceed the SCAQMD's thresholds for SOx. Impacts associated with SOx emissions would be below the significance threshold and less than significant. (3) State and federal 1 -hour and 8 -hour CO standards would not be exceeded under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and CO levels would be well below the more stringent state standards. Thus, impacts with respect to CO concentrations would be less than significant. (4) The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be consistent with the 2003 AQMP. 17 107 Plaza El Segundo (5) Maximum daily emissions associated with the construction of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development will not exceed SCAQMD's daily thresholds for CO, NOx, and PM10. Therefore, emissions of these pollutants would fall below the significance thresholds. (6) Impacts associated with CO concentrations in 2012 under the full build out of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be less than significant. The number of vehicles at the analyzed intersections in 2007 would be less than those occurring during 2012. Therefore, the State and federal 1 -hour and 8 -hour CO standards would not be exceeded as a result of traffic generated by the proposed Plaza El Segundo. Thus, impacts with respect to CO hotspots would be less than significant. (7) The proposed Plaza El Segundo would also be consistent with the 2003 AQMP. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: (1) Prior to implementation of specific development projects, impacts associated with construction emissions must be examined in light of this Program EIR to determine whether a new Initial Study would be required to be prepared leading to either an EIR or Negative Declaration. This examination must provide quantified estimates of construction emissions based upon the specific site, schedule, and construction equipment utilization characteristics of the proposed development and compare the estimated emissions to the SCAQMD thresholds for construction emissions. The analysis must incorporate the mitigation measures identified below as appropriate, along with any other mitigation measures identified by the project - specific analysis (C- 1). C) Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Construction Emissions The following is a list of feasible control measures that the SCAQMD recommends for construction emissions of PM10. These mitigation measures must be implemented for all areas where construction activities associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would occur. Fugitive Dust, PM10 Compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403, including but not limited to the following: 18 108 (1) Prior to implementation of specific development projects, impacts associated with construction emissions must be examined.

(11) Operations on any unpaved surfaces must be suspended during first and second stage smog alerts (C -11). (12) For all construction emissions, the following measure must apply: The applicant must develop and implement a construction management plan, as approved by the City of El Segundo, which includes the following measures recommended by the SCAQMD, or equivalently effective measures approved by the SCAQMD: 19 109 a. Configure construction parking to minimize traffic interference. b. Provide temporary traffic controls during all phases of construction activities to maintain traffic flow (e.g., flag person). c. Schedule construction activities that affect traffic flow on the arterial system to off -peak hours to the degree practicable. d. Re -route construction trucks away from congested streets. e. Consolidate truck deliveries when possible. f. Provide dedicated turn lanes for movement of construction trucks and equipment on- and off -site. g. Maintain equipment and vehicle engines in good condition and in proper tune as per manufacturer's specifications and per SCAQMD rules, to minimize exhaust emissions. h. Suspend use of all construction equipment operations during second stage smog alerts. Contact the SCAQMD at (800) 242 -4022 for daily forecasts. i. Use electricity from power poles rather than temporary diesel- or gasoline - powered generators. j. Use methanol- or natural gas - powered mobile equipment and pile drivers instead of diesel if readily available at competitive prices. k. Use propane- or equipment instead of competitive prices. (C -12) Plaza El Segundo Construction Emissions butane - powered on -site mobile gasoline if readily available at The following is a list of feasible control measures that the SCAQMD recommends for construction emissions of PM10. These mitigation measures must be implemented during construction activities associated with the proposed Plaza El Segundo. Fugitive Dust, PM10 (13) The construction area and vicinity (500 -foot radius) must be swept (preferably with water sweepers) and watered at least twice daily.

(2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. (3) With Respect to Mitigation Measures C -2, C -3, C -4, C -5, C -6, C -7, C -8, C -9, C -10, C -11, C -12, C -13, C -14, C -15, C -16, C- 17, C -18, C -19, C -20, C -21, C -22, and C -23, changes or alteration are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. (4) If mitigation is not adopted by the other jurisdiction(s), the impact would remain significant and unavoidable and the City Council this includes the impact within the ambit of the Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC). 3. Biological Resources. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) A small, human - induced marsh was identified at the northwest corner of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Subsequent investigation indicated that 0.30 acres of wetlands falling under the jurisdiction of the LARWQCB may be present in this area. Construction activities occurring within a wetland habitat, or loss of wetland habitat could represent a substantial 22 112 adverse effect on a riparian habitat or sensitive natural community. Thus, impacts on wetlands resulting from development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be potentially significant, subject to the findings of project - specific subsequent environmental analysis described under Subsequent Environmental Documentation and Mitigation Measures. (2) Field surveys identified a number of native and non - native wildlife species that were either observed directly or inferred to utilize the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Most of these species are common in urban areas and with the exception of the loggerhead shrike would not be considered sensitive species. Impacts to other wildlife species that could result from development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not represent a substantial adverse effect on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and would therefore be less than significant. (3) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site was assessed as unlikely to play any significant biogeographic role in the movement of animals through the region. Thus activity associated with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning would not have the potential to interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites. No impacts related to wildlife corridors and habitat linkages would result from potential development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. (4) No sensitive plant species were identified on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site during field surveys. Therefore, development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not impact sensitive plant species. No endangered mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish or invertebrate species were detected on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Therefore, development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not impact endangered animal species. (5) One threatened bird species, two bird species of special concern, and one bird species covered by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act were either detected on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site or could potentially use the site, based on known distributions of species: white - tailed kite; loggerhead shrike, Belding's savannah sparrow, and burrowing owl. The Belding's savannah sparrow is listed as a State Threatened species. The white - tailed kite and loggerhead shrike are both listed as California Species of Special Concern. The burrowing owl has no formal protected status at this time, as both the state and federal governments have declined to list the species as threatened or endangered, but burrowing owl nests are covered by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Development activities associated with the 23 113 Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would have the potential to result in the impacts to these species from: Grading activities on -site will generate noise, which is considered detrimental to wildlife utilization of remnant habitat areas over the construction life of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The impact, however, is temporal in nature and would be less than significant as long as no endangered or threatened organisms are present on -site during the construction activity. Construction personnel have the potential to be destructive to all forms of plant and animal life. Small mammals and reptiles are particularly subject to disturbance from harassment, capture, or destruction. Such activities that affect the four sensitive species listed above could have a substantial adverse effect on a species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species and would be significant. Grading and construction activities within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site could negatively affect increasingly rare organisms, including those identified above. These activities could have a substantial adverse effect on a species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species and would be significant. (6) Although the general biological assessment of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site identified the potential for vernal pools to occur within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, a follow -on investigation ruled out this possibility. Development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would therefore not affect this sensitive natural community and no impacts related to vernal pools would occur. Plaza El Segundo (7) The analysis provided regarding potential jurisdictional wetlands and sensitive species within the Plaza El Segundo Development site is in accordance with the mitigation measures for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning that require site - specific evaluation of potential wetlands impacts. (8) Based upon the assessment of potential jurisdictional wetlands within the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site, approximately 0.30 acres of wetlands under the jurisdiction of the LARWQCB may exist within the site. No waters of the U.S. or waters of the State are present on the proposed Plaza El Segundo site. Therefore, construction of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would not impact any ACOE or CFDG jurisdictional wetland areas, but could potentially affect approximately 0.30 acres of LARWQCB jurisdictional wetlands. Construction activities occurring within a wetland habitat, or loss of wetland habitat could represent a substantial adverse effect on a riparian 24 114 habitat or sensitive natural community. Thus, impacts on wetlands resulting from potential future development of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be significant. (9) The four sensitive bird species detected on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site or that could potentially use the site could also occur on the proposed Plaza El Segundo site. Development activities associated with the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would have the potential to result in the following impacts to these species: Grading activities on -site will generate noise, which is considered detrimental to wildlife utilization of remnant habitat areas over the construction life of the Plaza El Segundo. The impact, however, is temporal in nature and would be less than significant as long as no endangered or threatened organisms are present on -site. Construction personnel have the potential to be destructive to all forms of plant and animal life. Such activities that affect the three sensitive species listed above could have a substantial adverse effect on a species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species and would be significant. Grading and construction activities within the proposed Plaza El Segundo site could negatively affect increasingly rare organisms, including white tailed kite, loggerhead shrike, Belding's savannah sparrow, and burrowing owl. These activities could have a substantial adverse effect on a species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species and would be significant. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: Subsequent environmental documentation must be prepared for any proposed development project that includes the northwest corner of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site that has been identified as potentially containing 0.30 acres of jurisdictional wetlands area under the jurisdiction of LARWQCB. Impacts to any jurisdictional wetlands that may exist in this area must be examined, at the time the development project is proposed, in light of the Program EIR to determine whether a new Initial Study would be required to be prepared leading to either an EIR or Negative Declaration. The subsequent environmental documentation must address the following: (1) A site specific analysis must be conducted to determine whether the design of the proposed development project would impact any of the 0.30 acres identified as potential jurisdictional wetlands. This analysis must be completed prior to the start of construction activities for any proposed development within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. If jurisdictional wetlands 25 115, would be affected by the development project, measures must be identified to reduce impacts to less than significant levels. (D -1) Subsequent environmental documentation must also be prepared for any proposed development project within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site to determine the presence /absence of sensitive species. This information must be examined, at the time the development project is proposed, in light of the Program EIR to determine whether a new Initial Study would be required to be prepared leading to either an EIR or Negative Declaration. The subsequent environmental documentation must address the following: (2) Site specific analysis of potential effects to four sensitive bird species (white tailed kite, loggerhead shrike, burrowing owl and Belding's savannah sparrow) must be conducted prior to the start of construction activities for any proposed development within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. If any of these sensitive species would be affected by the proposed development, measures must be identified to reduce impacts to these species to less than significant levels, including, but not limited to, on -site monitoring by a qualified biologist during grading and /or construction activities (D -2). C) Mitigation: (1) A site specific analysis must be conducted to determine whether the design of any proposed development project within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning site would impact any of the 0.30 acres identified as potential jurisdictional wetlands. This analysis must be completed prior to the start of construction activities for any proposed development within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. If jurisdictional wetlands would be affected by the development project, measures must be identified to reduce impacts to less than significant levels (D -1). (2) Site specific analysis of potential effects to four sensitive bird species (white tailed kite, loggerhead shrike, burrowing owl and Belding's savannah sparrow) must be conducted prior to the start of construction activities for any proposed development within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. If any of these sensitive species would be affected by the proposed development, measures must be identified to reduce impacts to these species to less than significant levels, including, but not limited to, on -site monitoring by a qualified biologist during grading and /or construction activities (D -2). (3) All construction personnel must receive copies of all pertinent mitigation measures to reduce impacts to general biological resources and must be instructed on avoiding adverse impacts to birds encountered on -site (D -3). 26 116 (4) Prior to site remediation or construction grading on parts of the Site where burrowing owls may occur, a qualified biologist must be retained to conduct surveys for burrowing owl to determine if it is resident on -site. Surveys must be conducted no more than 30 days prior to commencement of such activities. If burrowing owls are determined to be resident, a qualified biologist must oversee site remediation and demolition activities in and around any semi - natural areas which could be occupied by burrowing owls. Proposed mitigation measures must be presented to the California Department of Fish and Game and /or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for approval to avoid directly harming the owl if it is present on -site during these activities (D-4). Plaza El Segundo The following mitigation measures must be required for the Plaza El Segundo Development. (5) All construction personnel must receive copies of all pertinent mitigation measures to reduce impacts to general biological resources and must be instructed on avoiding adverse impacts to birds encountered on -site (D -5). (6) Prior to site remediation or construction grading on parts of the Site where burrowing owls may occur, a qualified biologist must be retained to conduct surveys for burrowing owl to determine if it is resident on -site. Surveys must be conducted no more than 30 days prior to commencement of such activities. If burrowing owls are determined to be resident, a qualified biologist must oversee site remediation and demolition activities in and around any semi - natural areas which could be occupied by burrowing owls. Proposed mitigation measures must be presented to the California Department of Fish and Game and /or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for approval to avoid directly harming the owl if it is present on -site during these activities (D -6). (7) Prior to issuance of building permits, evidence must be provided to the City of El Segundo that all necessary approvals for any wetland dredge /fill contemplated by such permit have been obtained from the Regional Water Quality Control Board — Los Angeles Region, or equivalent documentation, or a waiver stating that no permit is presently required pursuant to the regulations of that agency. If required, conditions for permit approvals by RWQCB must include, but may not be limited to the following: Mitigation of any unavoidable impacts to wetland values and functions to the satisfaction of the permitting agency Incorporation of buffers to the wetland areas On -site treatment of runoff to improve water quality 27 117 Compliance with best management practices during construction (D -7). d) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to Biological Resources. (2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. (3) With Respect to Mitigation Measures D -1, D -2, D-4, D -6, and D -7, changes or alteration are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. (4) If mitigation is not adopted by the other jurisdiction(s), the impact would remain significant and unavoidable and the City Council this includes the impact within the ambit of the Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC). 4. Geology and Soils. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoninq (1) No evidence of faulting was observed during the field investigation and no active faults cross the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site or are located in the immediate site vicinity. The City of El Segundo does not contain any Alquist- Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones. Based on the available geologic data, active or potentially active faults with the potential for surface fault rupture are not known to be located directly beneath or projecting toward the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Therefore, development of Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not expose people to significant impacts related to surface fault rupture. (2) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is located within the Southern California region that is known for its seismic activity. Additionally, the location of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site relative to known active or potentially active faults indicates that it could be subjected to significant ground shaking. Compliance with the State of California Building Code, with its local amendments, would ensure that potential seismic and ground shaking impacts would be less than significant. 28 118 (3) According to the State of California Seismic Hazards Map, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located in an area at risk for liquefaction. Therefore, development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not expose people to significant liquefaction impacts. (4) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not within an area identified as having a potential for slope instability. Additionally, the site is not located within an area identified as having a potential for seismic slope instability. There are no known landslides near the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, nor is the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site located in the path of any known or potential landslides. Therefore, the development of Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not result in or expose people to significant impacts related to slope stability. (5) No subsidence associated with fluid withdrawal, peat oxidation, or hydrocompaction has occurred in the City of El Segundo. Therefore, development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not result in or expose people to significant impacts related to subsidence. (6) The City of El Segundo expansive soils. Therefore, the Site would not result in or expc related to expansive soils. is not within an area of known Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning se people to significant impacts (7) The Proposed Circulation Element Update Draft EIR requires analysis of potential impacts related to expansive soils for later projects that would implement the proposed Circulation Element Update. The proposed connection of Park Place between Sepulveda Boulevard and Nash Street and connection of Park Place to Hughes Way via Allied Way through the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would constitute a project that implements the Circulation Element Update policies. Based upon the analysis above, construction of this component of the proposed Circulation Element Update would not result in new effects related to expansive soils that were not examined in the Program EIR for the proposed Circulation Element Update. (8) The City of El Segundo is within an oil field and there are documented producing wells located near the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Due to the presence of oil and natural gas wells near the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, there is a potential for methane to be present in the soil. Impacts associated with methane levels on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be potentially significant, subject to the findings of project - specific environmental analysis described under Subsequent Environmental Documentation and Mitigation Measures. (9) Removal of contaminated soils that may occur on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be separate activity 29 119 which will be accomplished prior to grading activities. For a discussion of soil contamination on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans site and its removal, see Section IV.G of this EIR. (10) Earth movement activities in and around the unlined depressions could result in an increase of impervious surfaces at the site and expose soils to potential wind -borne erosion. Therefore, the potential for erosion as a result of the development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be significant. Plaza El Segundo (11) The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site would not expose people or structures to potentially adverse effects or otherwise result in significant impacts with respect to: surface fault rupture; seismicity and ground shaking; liquefaction and seismic settlement; slope stability; subsidence; expansive soils; landform alteration; building foundations; or grading. Impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be less than significant with respect to these issues. (12) The City of El Segundo is within an oil field and there are documented producing wells located near Plaza El Segundo. A methane study was conducted to determine the presence or absence of methane on the Plaza El Segundo site. This study meets the requirement for subsequent environmental documentation for development on the proposed Plaza El Segundo Site. Seventeen methane samples and one duplicate sample were collected from nine locations on the Plaza El Segundo site on January 5, 2004. Methane was detected during the sampling; however, it was not detected at levels that require further analysis or sampling. Therefore, impacts associated with methane would be less than significant on the Plaza El Segundo site. (13) Unlined natural depressions could result in an increase of impervious surfaces at the site and expose soils to the effects of wind -borne erosion. Therefore, the potential for erosion at the site as a result of the development of Plaza El Segundo would be significant. There is also potential for erosion to occur during the grading process during periods of heavy precipitation. The development of Plaza El Segundo would result in potentially significant impacts related to erosion. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Subsequent environmental documentation must be prepared for any proposed development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site to determine the presence or absence of methane. The subsequent environmental documentation must address the following: 30 120 A methane study must be conducted to determine the levels at which methane is or is not present in the area of any proposed development. If methane is determined to be present at or above the levels which require action, then the report shall include recommendations and mitigation measures which shall be followed (E -1). C) Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) A methane study must be conducted to determine the levels at which methane is or is not present in the area of any proposed development. If methane is determined to be present at or above the levels which require action, then the report must include recommendations and mitigation measures which must be followed (E -1). (2) All soil disturbance and travel on unpaved surfaces must be suspended if winds exceed 25 miles per hour (E -2). Plaza El Segundo (3) All soil disturbance and travel on unpaved surfaces must be suspended if winds exceed 25 miles per hour (E -3). d) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to geology and soils. (2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. (3) With Respect to Mitigation Measures E -2 and E -3, changes or alteration are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. (4) If mitigation is not adopted by the other jurisdiction(s), the impact would remain significant and unavoidable and the City Council this includes the impact within the ambit of the Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC). 5. Hydrology and Water Quality. a) Facts /Effects. 31 121 Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The Proposed Circulation Element Update Draft EIR requires analysis of potential impacts related to drainage and storm drain systems for later projects that would implement the proposed Circulation Element Update. The proposed connection of Park Place between Sepulveda Boulevard and Nash Street and connection of Park Place to Hughes Way via Allied Way through the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would constitute a project that implements the Circulation Element Update policies. The analysis provided below includes the master drainage plan and storm drain and detainment system designed required by the Proposed Circulation Element Update Draft EIR. Based upon the analysis provided below, construction of this component of the proposed Circulation Element Update would not result in new effects related to drainage that were not examined in the Program EIR for the proposed Circulation Element Update. (2) The hydrology calculations demonstrate that the entire Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site can be protected from flooding through the use of on -site storm drains in conjunction with an on -site retention basin without increasing discharge rates from the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. At full buildout the total 50 -year flow discharging into the retention basin is 117 cubic feet per second (cfs) with a total retention volume of 4 acre -feet or 175,000 cubic feet. With the construction of the retention basin and the mitigation measures below, the development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site at full buildout would not result in significant impacts related to hydrology. (3) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is not located in a 100 or 500 year floodplain. Therefore, the future development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not result in or expose people or property to significant impacts related to flooding. (4) The development of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site does not involve deep excavations that have the potential to intercept existing Aquifers, nor would it involve additions (with the exception of normal water percolation from rainfall /landscape irrigation) or withdrawals of groundwater. Therefore, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would not result in significant impacts related to groundwater. (5) Since the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning involves clearing, grading, and the excavation of 5 or more acres, a General Construction Activity Storm Water Permit must be obtained from the SWRCB prior to the start of construction. The NPDES requires that a NOI be filed with the SWRCB. By filing an NOI, the developer agrees to the conditions outlined in the General Permit. One of the conditions of the General Permit is the development and the implementation of a SWPPP. The SWPPP identifies which structural and nonstructural BMPs will be 32 122 implemented, such as sandbag barriers, temporary desilting basins near inlets, gravel driveways, dust controls, employee training, and general good housekeeping practices. With the implementation of the required BMPs and the mitigation measures listed below, short-term impacts on water quality from construction materials, site grading, and equipment maintenance would be less than significant. (6) If not properly designed and constructed, the proposed development could increase the rate of urban pollutant introduction into storm water system. As required by the SUSMP, detailed plans for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site's compliance with the SUSMP will be submitted to the City as part of the development plan approval process prior to issuance of building and grading permits. With compliance with the SUSMP requirements, the project's operational impacts on storm water quality will be less than significant. Plaza El Segundo (7) Runoff from the Plaza El Segundo site would drain across the Plaza El Segundo Site to the proposed retention basin located in the eastern portion of the Plaza El Segundo site. The total 50- year flow discharging into the retention basin from the portion of the Plaza El Segundo site located north of the railroad tracks is anticipated to be 57 cfs. The total volume of the retention basin is 8.09 acre -feet or 352,000 cubic feet for the Plaza El Segundo site. The total 50 -year flow discharging from the portion of the Plaza El Segundo site located south of the railroad tracks is 11 cfs. Since this does not represent an increase in runoff from the existing condition, no detention is required for this area. With the construction of the retention basin and the mitigation measures below, development of Plaza El Segundo would not result in significant impacts related to hydrology. (8) Plaza El Segundo is not located in a 100 or 500 year floodplain. Therefore, the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would not result in or expose people or property to significant impacts related to flooding. (9) The development of the Plaza El Segundo site does not involve deep excavations that have the potential to intercept existing Aquifers, nor would it involve direct additions or withdrawals of groundwater. Therefore, the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would not result in significant impacts related to groundwater. With the implementation of the required BMPs, and the mitigation measures listed below short-term impacts on water quality from construction materials, site grading, and equipment maintenance would be less than significant. (10) If not properly designed and constructed, the proposed development on Plaza El Segundo could increase the rate of urban pollutant introduction into storm water system. In 33 123 compliance with the SUSMP requirements, the proposed development on Plaza El Segundo will provide for the treatment/filtration of on -site storm water runoff before it enters the public storm water conveyance system. Applicable BMPs will also be selected from those approved sources identified in the Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan for Los Angeles County and Cities in Los Angeles County. Additionally, a preventive maintenance program, including regular street and parking lot sweeping with equipment designed for removal of such compounds, should be provided to reduce the potential water quality impact to a less- than - significant level. As noted above, the Plaza El Segundo site will provide structural or treatment control BMPs designed to mitigate storm water runoff. With compliance with the SUSMP requirements, the project's operational impacts on storm water quality will be less than significant. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. C) Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The applicant must prepare hydrology studies for each specific development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Such studies shall be reviewed and approved by the City of El Segundo and any other applicable agency (F -1). (2) The applicant must prepare runoff studies for each specific development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site so that the runoff from one specific project area would not flow onto another specific project area without the owners consent. Such studies must be reviewed and approved by the City of El Segundo and any other applicable agency (F -2). (3) The applicant must prepare a master drainage plan for each specific development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. This plan must include detailed hydrology /hydraulic calculations and drainage improvements, showing quantitatively how the project will eliminate the potential for downstream flooding due to increased storm water runoff. These plans will also identify the proposed BMPs to be implemented in compliance with the requirements of the Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan and the ESMC. Such plans must be reviewed and approved by the City of El Segundo and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (F -3). (4) The applicant must design, for each specific development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, a conveyance and detainment system to meet the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works limits on the storm drains that would convey the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site's discharge (F -4). 34 124 (5) The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development must comply with City of El Segundo Ordinance No. 1347 and No. 1348, which establishes storm water and urban pollution controls (F -5). (6) The project owner /developer of a specific development (e.g., Plaza El Segundo) on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans site must maintain all structural or treatment control BMPs for the life of the project (F -6). Plaza El Segundo The following mitigation measures have been identified as pertaining specifically to the Plaza El Segundo Development: (7) The applicant must prepare a hydrology study for the Plaza El Segundo Site. The study must be reviewed and approved by the City of El Segundo and any other applicable agencies (F -7). (8) The applicant must prepare a runoff study for the Plaza El Segundo Site so that the runoff does not flow onto another area without the owners consent. The study must be reviewed and approved by the City of El Segundo and the any other applicable agencies (F -8). (9) The applicant must prepare a master drainage plan for the Plaza El Segundo Site. This plan must include detailed hydrology /hydraulic calculations and drainage improvements, showing quantitatively how the project will eliminate the potential for downstream flooding due to increased storm water runoff. These plans will also identify the proposed BMPs to be implemented in compliance with the requirements of the Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan and the ESMC. Such plans must be reviewed and approved by the City of El Segundo and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (F -9). (10) The applicant must design a conveyance and detainment system to meet the City of El Segundo's and Los Angeles County Department of Public Works limits on the storm drains that would convey the Plaza El Segundo Site's discharge (F -10). (11) The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development must comply with City of El Segundo Ordinance No. 1347 and No. 1348, which establishes storm water and urban pollution controls (F -11). (12) The project owner /developer must maintain all structural or treatment control BMPs for the life of the Plaza El Segundo Development (F -12). d) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence 35 12-0 identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to hydrology and water quality. (2) Changes or alterations. have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. (3) If mitigation is not adopted by the other jurisdiction (s), the impact would remain significant and unavoidable and the City Council this includes the impact within the ambit of the Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC). 6. Hazards and Hazardous Materials. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The parcels that comprise the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site are known to contain soil and groundwater contamination due to past activities. However, at this time, the extent and type of contamination for all the parcels is not known. Without this information, based upon previous activities that have taken place on the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, conditions of site contamination would have the potential to expose workers and visitors to the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site to soil and groundwater contamination levels that are above established remediation thresholds and expose workers and visitors to the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site to cancer and /or non cancer risks that exceed health risk thresholds. Thus impacts of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning related to soil and groundwater contamination would be significant. (2) Asbestos and lead surveys have not been conducted for any of the structures that exist on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site with the exception of the Honeywell International Inc. parcels. However, it is assumed that these structures contain asbestos containing material and lead due to the age of the facilities. Thus demolition and development activities on the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would have the potential to expose workers to hazards associated with asbestos and lead. Impacts of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be significant with respect to asbestos and lead. Plaza El Segundo (3) Upon completion of interim remediation of the project site, potential health risk impacts to individuals from site contamination 36 126 would be less than significant with respect to the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. Implementation of additional measures to address soil gas and groundwater contamination would not affect the risks associated with construction and operation of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development since the workers, employees and patrons of the proposed Plaza El Segundo would not be exposed to chemicals that would be remediated through these processes. (4) After removal of the asbestos containing materials from the various facilities, the facilities on the Plaza El Segundo site were demolished. There are no structures or asbestos containing materials presently located on proposed Plaza El Segundo site. Therefore, impacts to individuals or the environment from asbestos fibers would be less than significant. Lead -based paint surveys revealed no significant results. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Subsequent environmental documentation must be prepared for any proposed development project within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site. Conditions related to soil and groundwater contamination must be examined for the proposed development site, at the time the development project is proposed, in light of the Program EIR to determine whether a new Initial Study would be required to be prepared leading to either an EIR or Negative Declaration. The subsequent environmental documentation must address the following: (1) A full characterization of all the parcels that comprise that project site must be undertaken. The City must require that this process be initiated by requiring the project applicant to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) or equivalent investigation and analysis for the specific project site that would be occupied by the proposed development. The Phase I ESA or equivalent document must be prepared by a licensed professional (Registered Environmental Assessor or equivalent) and submitted to the City for review (G -1). (2) If indicated by the initial investigation, the City must require the preparation of subsequent Phase II investigation(s) and submission to the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board and /or other appropriate agency. The project applicant must provide to the City copies of all materials submitted to the LARWQCB or any other regulatory agency (G -2). (3) Remediation of any environmental conditions identified in the Phase I and Phase 11 site assessments or investigations must be accomplished to the standards established and agreed upon by the appropriate regulatory agency(ies) for the contemplated development, prior to the issuance of grading or building permits 37 127 for the project. The project applicant must provide to the City copies of any materials received from the LARWQCB or any other regulatory agency (G -3) (4) If the future development project would include any part of Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site that currently contains structures, an asbestos and lead survey must be conducted to determine the presence or absence of these substances. Removal of these substances shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations (G -4). C) Mitigation: Further mitigation measures for site specific projects would be identified by the Mitigation Measures described below. Before development is allowed on any part of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, the part of the site proposed for development would need to be remediated to the standards required for commercial development by LARWQCB. (1) A full characterization of all the parcels that comprise a specific project site must be undertaken. The City must require that this process be initiated by requiring the project applicant to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) or equivalent investigation and analysis for the specific project site that would be occupied by the proposed development. The Phase I ESA or equivalent document must be prepared by a licensed professional (Registered Environmental Assessor or equivalent) and submitted to the City for review (G -1). (2) If indicated by the initial investigation, the City must require the preparation of subsequent Phase II investigation(s) and submission to the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board and /or other appropriate agency. The project applicant must provide to the City copies of all materials submitted to the LARWQCB or any other regulatory agency (G -2). (3) Remediation of any environmental conditions identified in the Phase I and Phase II site assessments or investigations must be accomplished to the standards established and agreed upon by of the appropriate regulatory agency(ies) for the contemplated development, prior to the issuance of grading or building permits for the project. The project applicant must provide to the City copies of any materials received from the LARWQCB or any other regulatory agency (G -3). (4) If the future development project would include any part of Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site that currently contains structures, an asbestos and lead survey must be conducted to determine the presence or absence of these substances. Removal of these substances must be conducted in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations (G -4). 38 12-8 d) Plaza El Segundo (5) Remedial investigations, health risk assessments for the contemplated development and final soils remedial action plans for the Plaza El Segundo portion of the project site must be completed and approved to the standards established and agreed upon by the LARWQCB prior to the start of any project activities. The project applicant must provide to the City copies of any materials received from the LARWQCB or any other regulatory agency (G -5). (6) Remediation of shallow soil of the Plaza El Segundo Development portion of the project site must be accomplished to the standards for commercial development established and agreed upon in conjunction with the LARWQCB and a shallow soil closure letter must be issued by the LARWQCB prior to issuance of grading permits for construction of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. The project applicant must provide to the City copies of any materials received from the LARWQCB or any other regulatory agency (G -6). Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to hazards and hazardous materials. (2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. (3) If mitigation is not adopted by the other jurisdiction(s), the impact would remain significant and unavoidable and the City Council this includes the impact within the ambit of the Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC). 7. Land Use. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The rezoning of a 70.8 net acre portion of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site from Heavy and Light Industrial to Commercial Center would allow for the development of commercial and retail uses. Any future development on the site would be required to meet the zoning and development standards associated with the C -4 designation. Compatibility with the surrounding land uses would be ensured through compliance with these development standards. The existing uses (e.g., 39 1 Z19 lumberyard, Air products facility, and RV storage) would continue to operate and would be consistent with the M -1 and M -2 zones. Therefore, no land use compatibility issues are anticipated as a result of future development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. (2) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be consistent with the applicable adopted plans and policies, including the El Segundo General Plan and SCAG's RCPG. Future development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be consistent with both the General Plan and the RCPG. Therefore, no land use impacts are associated with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. (3) Public comments on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning contend that the proposed project would provide retail sales and services that could compete with downtown El Segundo business and that the impacts of increased competition could result in urban blight and decay in the downtown commercial area of El Segundo. (4) As discussed in Response to Comment No. 10 -2 in the FEIR, due to the size of stores that would be included in the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development, a different range of products would be provided, compared to the smaller stores in Downtown, which are more focused on the local residential market. As such, proposed development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not be anticipated to adversely affect businesses presently located in downtown El Segundo such that any potentially significant blight or decay, or other significant physical environmental impacts would ensue as a result of the project. Plaza El Segundo (5) The Plaza El Segundo Development would include a mix of large retail stores, specialty retail and other uses including a fitness center /spa, and fast food and sit -down restaurants. The shopping center would replace the former chemical manufacturing and industrial uses that had previously occupied the Plaza El Segundo site and would be compatible with the surrounding commercial, industrial, public facilities, and open space uses. The proposed development would conform to the development standards of the new Commercial Center (C -4) Zone. (6) None of the adjacent uses are considered sensitive and the placement of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development adjacent to them would not interfere with the daily operation of these uses. The closest residential use, located in the City of Manhattan Beach approximately a quarter mile southwest of the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue. In addition, the proposed development would be landscaped in accordance with the development standards established for the 40 130 Commercial Center, CA Zone, which would work to create a buffer between the proposed development and the adjacent land uses. Impacts related to land use compatibility resulting from the development of Plaza El Segundo would be less than significant. (7) Additional information regarding noise impacts to the surrounding area during construction and operation (vehicular) can be found in Section IV.I. Traffic impacts associated with the operation of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development are discussed in Section IV.L. These analyses show that with implementation of the identified mitigation measures, the project would not result in significant, short -term or long -term, land use compatibility impacts. (8) The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would not conflict with any of the applicable policies of the El Segundo General Plan and would work to implement a number of those policies. A General Plan Amendment is proposed to change the land use designation from Heavy Industrial to Commercial Center. The explanations provided under the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning discussion (see Table IV.H -1 of the Draft EIR) are applicable to the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development with the following exceptions. • Policy 3.03: The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development is anticipated to provide approximately 952 jobs to the local economy. (9) Overall, the proposed development of the Plaza El Segundo Development would be consistent with applicable City and regional planning policies. (10) Public comments on the Plaza El Segundo Development contend that the Plaza El Segundo Development would provide retail sales and services that could compete with downtown El Segundo business and that the impacts of increased competition could result in urban blight and decay in the downtown commercial area of El Segundo. (11) As indicated in Response to Comment No. 10 -3 in the FEIR, the Draft Development Agreement for the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development establishes restrictions on the size and types of uses allowed on the project site. Since the types of uses proposed for the project site would not be available in downtown El Segundo and vice versa, it is not anticipated that the stores on the project site would adversely affect businesses located in downtown El Segundo. Additionally, the goods and services to be provided by the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not compete with the stores and business of Downtown El Segundo due to the size and nature of the businesses. Consequently, the 41 131 b) C) d) development of the Sepulveda/Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would not lead to a downward spiral of vacancies, deterioration, or blight in the downtown El Segundo commercial district. Subsequent Environmental Documentation: (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) Because no significant impacts related to land use have been identified, no mitigation measures are required. Plaza El Segundo (2) Because no significant impacts related to land use have been identified, no mitigation measures are required. Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to land use. (2) Changes or incorporated into the Plaza El Segundo substantially lessen identified in the FEIR. 8. Noise. a) Facts /Effects. alterations have been required in, or Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Development project which avoid or the significant environmental effect as Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Operational Noise (1) The incremental increase in noise from traffic is expected to be less than 1 dB(A) at both sensitive receptor locations. Thus, traffic - related operational noise impacts for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning are anticipated to be less than significant. All other sensitive receptors in the area would experience lower increases in noise levels as a result of vehicular traffic because the analyzed roadways represent the highest levels of project - related traffic. The potential increase in noise levels would not be audible at these locations and thus the impact would be less than significant. 42 132 (2) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would have the potential to generate noise from day -to -day activities. During project operation, it is anticipated that the primary sources of noise occurring with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be loading dock and parking lot activity. All these activities will be similar and consistent with activities occurring at the immediately adjacent non - residential uses. These activities would be within ambient noise levels and thus would not change the existing noise environment. As such, impacts related to parking lot and loading dock noise would be less than significant. Plaza El Segundo Operational Noise (3) Noise increases associated with the Plaza El Segundo Development traffic generation would not be perceptible along any of the modeled roadways in the vicinity of the project, where sensitive receptors are located. Therefore, impacts from traffic associated with the Plaza El Segundo Development would be less than significant. (4) During project operation, it is anticipated that the primary sources of noise occurring with the Plaza El Segundo site would be loading dock and parking lot activity. All these activities will be similar and consistent with activities occurring at the immediately adjacent non - residential uses. These activities would be within ambient noise levels and thus would not change the existing noise environment. As such, impacts related to parking lot and loading dock noise would be less than significant. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Subsequent environmental documentation must be prepared for development projects proposed to be constructed on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans site. The subsequent environmental documentation must address the following: (1) A project- specific construction noise analysis must be prepared that calculates, based on project - specific parameters and identification of the site - specific sensitive receptors that could be affected by construction activities, the noise levels that would be experienced at sensitive receptors located adjacent to that site. If noise levels resulting from construction activity would result in temporary construction noise levels that exceed 65 dBA at a sensitive receptor, or cause an incremental increase of 5 dBA over the existing ambient sound level, if the existing ambient sound level at the sensitive receptor location is 65 dBA or more, then the study must identify feasible mitigation measures to be applied to that project from the list of mitigation measures provided below (1 -1). 43 133 C) Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning The following mitigation measures are required to minimize construction related noise impacts associated with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning: (1) A project - specific construction noise analysis must be prepared that calculates, based on project - specific parameters and identification of the site - specific sensitive receptors that could be affected by construction activities, the noise levels that would be experienced at sensitive receptors located adjacent to that site. If noise levels resulting from construction activity would result in temporary construction noise levels that exceed 65 dBA at a sensitive receptor, or cause an incremental increase of 5 dBA over the existing ambient sound level, if the existing ambient sound level at the sensitive receptor location is 65 dBA or more, then the study must identify feasible mitigation measures to be applied to that project from the list of mitigation measures provided below. • Construction contracts must specify that all construction equipment shall be equipped with mufflers and other applicable noise attenuation devices. • During construction phases, the contractor must store and maintain equipment as far as possible from the adjacent receptor property locations to the southwest, north and east of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. • As stated in the City of El Segundo Municipal Code, construction must be restricted to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and prohibited at anytime on Sunday or a Federal holiday. • Temporary plywood noise barriers must be constructed along the northern and eastern property lines of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site during construction, which must be high enough to block the line -of -sight between the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site and receptor property locations to the southwest, north and east (1 -1). Plaza El Segundo The follow mitigation measures are required to minimize construction related noise impacts associated with the Plaza El Segundo Development: (2) Construction contracts must specify that all construction equipment must be equipped with mufflers and other applicable noise attenuation devices (1 -2). 44 134 (3) During construction phases, the contractor must store and maintain equipment as far as possible from the adjacent receptor property locations to the north and east of the Plaza El Segundo site (1 -3). (4) As stated in the City of El Segundo Municipal Code, construction must be restricted to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and prohibited at anytime on Sunday or a Federal holiday (1 -4). (5) Temporary plywood noise barriers must be constructed along the 4.5 acre portion of the Plaza El Segundo site south of the UPRR tracks during construction, which must be high enough to block the line -of -sight (a minimum of 8 feet above existing grade) between the Plaza El Segundo site and receptor property locations to the southwest, north and east (1 -5). d) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to noise. (2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. 9. Population, Housing, and Employment. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) Construction of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development would result in increased employment opportunities in the construction field, which could potentially result in increased permanent population and demand for housing in the vicinity of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. However, the employment patterns of construction workers in Southern California are such that it is not likely that they would relocate their households as a consequence of the construction employment associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. (2) Operation of the development permitted under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would provide employment for approximately 1,904 persons by project completion in the year 2012. Employment resulting from the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be 45 135 consistent with SCAG projections for the City of El Segundo and the South Bay Cities Subregion through 2015. Therefore, impacts associated the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning related to employment would be less than significant. (3) The City of El Segundo is a jobs rich city, with far more employment opportunities than the available housing stock can accommodate. From the SCAG data presented in Section IV.J it can be seen that the vast majority of employees in the City of El Segundo commute to work from other communities, and will continue to do so in the future. While the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning is expected to generate approximately 1,904 new jobs, for several reasons, it is not expected to generate a demand for 1,904 housing units. It is reasonable to expect, therefore, that many of the new employees will be drawn from the local labor force in the City of El Segundo and surrounding communities. (4) It is expected that the maximum housing demand generated by the project could be accommodated by the existing housing stock within the average 9.7 -mile commute distance from the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, without generating demand for new housing construction. Therefore, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would result in less than significant impacts related to housing. Plaza El Segundo (5) Operation of the proposed Plaza El Segundo would provide employment for approximately 952 persons. The Plaza El Segundo's estimated employee generation would account for approximately 6.8 percent of SCAG's forecasted total employment growth for the City of El Segundo during this period. Employment resulting from the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be consistent with SCAG projections for the City of El Segundo and the South Bay Cities Subregion through 2010. Therefore, the Plaza El Segundo would result in a less than significant impact regarding employment. (6) The additional housing demand associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be accommodated by existing housing supply in the South Bay Cities Subregion and surrounding cities to the north and northeast of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. The proposed Plaza El Segundo would implement the proposed C -4 zoning on a portion of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Thus the proposed Plaza El Segundo would not pose additional issues related to increased employment and housing demand. The proposed Plaza El Segundo would result in less than significant impacts related to housing. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. 46 136 C) Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) As no significant impacts on population, housing and employment associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo would occur, no mitigation measures are required. There are no available mitigation measures to address the incremental contribution of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo to the significant cumulative impact related to population growth and housing demand. Plaza El Segundo (2) As no significant impacts on population, housing and employment associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo would occur, no mitigation measures are required. There are no available mitigation measures to address the incremental contribution of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo to the significant cumulative impact related to population growth and housing demand. d) Findin : (1) No significant impacts were identified and no mitigation measures were required. No impact is anticipated to employment or population growth as a result of implementing the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development . (2) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to population, housing, and employment. (3) Changes or incorporated into the Plaza El Segundo substantially lessen identified in the FEIR. 10. Public Services — Fire Protection. a) Facts /Effects. alterations have been required in, or Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Development project which avoid or the significant environmental effect as Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning 47 137 (1) Emergency access to the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be provided at several driveways along Sepulveda Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue and from Allied Way. Internal fire access roadways would be provided throughout the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Emergency response times are not anticipated to be significantly impacted by project traffic, as the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site is located less than one mile southwest of ESFD Station No. 2 and within two miles of the proposed relocation site for Station No. 2. Additional City streets and public fire hydrants would be provided on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. The provision of street continuation through the site is proposed as part of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Project, which would improve access to the southern edge of the City. Water flow and fire hydrants would be provided in accordance with ESFD Regulations, and installation of automatic fire sprinklers and a complete life- safety alarm system within each building shall be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Fire Code to further preclude the need for additional fire protection. The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning would not require new or physically altered fire protection facilities in order to maintain acceptable fire service ratios, response times, or other performance standards and would have a less than significant impact on fire protection services. (2) A Fire Service Mitigation Fee of $0.14 per gross square foot is required and would be provided by future development within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site in order to address fire service impacts. The Fire Service Mitigation Fee is set by the City at a level which adequately reflects the impacts on fire services caused by new development. Plaza El Segundo (3) Because the full development permitted under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning would not significantly impact fire protections services, the proposed Plaza El Segundo would also result in less than significant impacts on fire protection services. (4) The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be responsible for paying the Fire Service Mitigation Fee of $0.14 per gross square foot set forth in the El Segundo Municipal Code. The Fire Service Mitigation Fee is set by the City at a level which adequately reflects the impacts on fire services caused by new development. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation. (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. 48 138 C) Mitigation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Although impacts of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be less than significant with respect to fire protection facilities, the City of El Segundo imposes the following standard conditions of project approval to offset project impacts: (1) The applicant must pay the City of El Segundo a Fire Service Mitigation Fee of $0.14 per gross square foot of building area prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy (K -1.1) (2) A fire life safety plan, which must include definitive plans and specifications, must be submitted to the El Segundo Fire Department (ESFD) for review and approval prior to commencement of construction of any portion of the proposed development (K -1.2). (3) The applicant must provide fire access roadways to and throughout the property and submit a layout plan to the ESFD for approval (K -1.3). (4) The applicant must provide water flow and on -site fire hydrants as required by the ESFD (K -1.4). (5) The following installations require separate Fire Department approval. The applicant must submit separate plans for Fire Department review: • Automatic fire sprinklers; Fire alarm system; Underground fire service mains; • Fire Pumps; • Emergency generators; and • Any aboveground including elevator (K -1.5). Plaza El Segundo or underground storage tank sumps and condensation tanks Although impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be less than significant with respect to fire protection facilities, the City of El Segundo imposes the following standard conditions of project approval to offset project impacts: 49 1.39 d) (6) The applicant must pay the City of El Segundo a Fire Service Mitigation Fee of $0.14 per gross square foot of building area prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy (K -1.6). (7) A fire life safety plan, which must include definitive plans and specifications, must be submitted to the El Segundo Fire Department (ESFD) for review and approval prior to commencement of construction of any portion of the proposed development (K -1.7). (8) The applicant must provide fire access roadways to and throughout the property and submit a layout plan to the ESFD for approval (K -1.8). (9) The applicant must provide water flow and on -site fire hydrants as required by the ESFD (K -1.9) (10) The following installations require separate Fire Department approval. The applicant must submit separate plans for Fire Department review: • Automatic fire sprinklers; Fire alarm system; Underground fire service mains; • Fire Pumps; Emergency generators; and • Any aboveground or underground storage tank including elevator sumps and condensation tanks (K- 1.10). Findings. (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to fire services. (2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. 11. Public Services — Police Protection. a) Facts /Effects. 50 4o Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The additional commercial uses on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site that would be permitted under the proposed C -4 zone could potentially generate an increase in the number of service calls. Responses to thefts, vehicle burglaries, damage to vehicles, traffic- related incidents, and crimes against persons are anticipated to result from an increase in traffic on adjacent streets and an increase in transient occupancy. (2) ESPD has not identified any need for new or altered facilities that would be required to serve development permitted under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. Therefore, impacts to police services associated with development of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be less than significant. In addition, development permitted under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be required to pay the required Police Service Mitigation Fee, which has been set by the City at a level which reflects the impacts on police services caused by new development. Plaza El Segundo (3) Because the full development permitted under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning would not significantly impact police services, the proposed Plaza El Segundo would also result in less than significant impacts on police services. The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would incorporate a security plan into the project design, to include visible building addresses, limited entrances and exits, low profile landscaping, adequate lighting, and provisions for security personnel. The security plan would work to reduce crime and thus reduce police service calls and need for new or physically altered police facilities. Additionally, as stated above, payment of the Police Service Mitigation Fee, which has been set by the City at a level which reflects the impacts on police services caused by new development, would also be required. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation. (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. C) Mitigation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Although impacts of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be less than significant with respect to police facilities, the City of El Segundo imposes the following standard conditions of project approval to offset project impacts. 51 141 (1) The applicant must pay the City of El Segundo a Police Service Mitigation Fee of $0.11 per gross square foot of building area prior to the occupancy of each building (K.2 -1). (2) A strategic security plan, which must include definitive plans and specifications, must be submitted to the El Segundo Police Department (ESPD) for review and approval prior to commencement of construction of any portion of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. The strategic security plan must include, but not be limited to, the following items: Depending on the size of the structure and its location in relation to the streets, the size of the displayed address may vary from a minimum of 4" to as much as 24 ". • Building entrances and exits must be limited in number and located in a manner to increase security and visibility of the building. All landscaping must be low profile especially around perimeter fencing, windows, doors and entryways taking special care not to limit visibility and provide climbing access. • Adequate street, walkway, building and parking lot lighting shall be provided to enhance security. • Provisions for on -site security personnel (K.2 -2). Plaza El Segundo Although impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be less than significant with respect to police facilities, the City of El Segundo imposes the following standard conditions of project approval to offset project impacts. (3) The applicant must pay the City of El Segundo a Police Service Mitigation Fee of $0.11 per gross square foot of building area prior to the occupancy of each building (K.2 -3). (4) A strategic security plan, which must include definitive plans and specifications, must be submitted to the El Segundo Police Department (ESPD) for review and approval prior to commencement of construction of any portion of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development. The strategic security plan must include, but not be limited to, the following items: • Depending on the size of the structure and its location in relation to the streets, the size of the displayed address may vary from a minimum of 4" to as much as 24 ". 142 52 Building entrances and exits must be limited to keep control and visibility of the building. All landscaping must be low profile especially around perimeter fencing, windows, doors and entryways taking special care not to limit visibility and provide climbing access. Adequate street, walkway, building and parking lot lighting must be provided to enhance security. • Provisions for on -site security personnel (K.2 -4). d) Findings. (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to police protection. (2) Changes or incorporated into the Plaza El Segundo substantially lessen identified in the FEIR. 12. Transportation and Traffic. a) Facts /Effects. alterations have been required in, or Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Development project which avoid or the significant environmental effect as Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would significantly impact 13 intersections during the a.m. peak hour, p.m. peak hour or Saturday mid -day peak hour (or combinations of the above). (2) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning is estimated to contribute approximately 240 trips in the southbound direction on the San Diego Freeway between the 1 -105 interchange and El Segundo Boulevard. During the afternoon peak hour, this number of trips would cause the D/C ratio to increase by 0.02, with a resulting LOS of F(0), which would constitute a significant impact at this location. The remaining freeway segments would not be significantly impacted by the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. Plaza El Segundo (3) The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would significantly impact a total of seven intersections during the a.m. 53 143 peak hour, p.m. peak hour or Saturday mid -day peak hour (or combinations of the above). (4) The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development is estimated to contribute approximately 162 trips in the southbound direction on the San Diego Freeway between the 1 -105 interchange and El Segundo Boulevard. During the afternoon peak hour, this number of trips would cause the D/C ratio to increase by 0.01, with a resulting LOS of F(0), which would be a less than significant impact at this location. The remaining freeway segments would not be significantly impacted by the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation. (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. C) Mitigation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning The following mitigation measures are required to reduce traffic impacts from the full implementation of the proposed C -4 zone under the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. Physical Roadway Improvements (1) El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard. Convert the existing eastbound right -turn only lane to a shared through /right -turn lane. There exists three receiving lanes on the east leg of the intersection. In addition, modify the raised center median to convert the westbound shared through left -turn lane to a dedicated second left turn lane and additional through lane (L- 1). (2) El Segundo Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard. Not required for Plaza El Segundo Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative. (3) Park Place and Nash Street. Provide a new traffic signal at this location. Widen and restripe the eastbound and westbound directions to provide one left -turn lane, one through lane, and one right -turn only lane (L -3). (4) Park Place and Douglas Street. Provide a new traffic signal at this location (L -4). (5) Rosecrans Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard. On the westbound approach of Rosecrans Avenue dedicate additional right -of -way on the north side of Rosecrans Avenue to provide a free flow right -turn lane and third left -turn lane. Sepulveda Boulevard south of Rosecrans Avenue may need to be widened to accommodate the third left -turn lane, depending on the specific design of this lane. This widening could take place within the 54 144 existing Sepulveda Boulevard right -of -way. Widen the east side of Sepulveda Boulevard along the project frontage to provide the acceptance lane for the free westbound right -turn lane. This additional lane on Sepulveda should be improved to the new Park Place connection where a right turn lane will be provided. This intersection's jurisdiction is shared with Manhattan Beach and Caltrans. Coordination and concurrence of these agencies for implementation of these improvements would be required (L -5). (6) Rosecrans Avenue and Continental Way. Not required for Plaza El Segundo Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative. (7) Rosecrans Avenue and Douglas Street. On the westbound approach, widen the north side of Rosecrans Avenue to provide a dedicated westbound right -turn lane. This intersection's jurisdiction is shared with Manhattan Beach. Coordination and concurrence of this agency for implementation of this improvement would be required. This improvement is included as part of the current Rosecrans /Aviation Widening (discussed under "Future Highway System Improvements ") but will be guaranteed by the project (L -7). Site Trip Reductions (8) Project applicants must promote rideshare programs (bikes, rideshare matching and transit options) as required by the City of El Segundo Transportation Demand Management Program (TDM). In addition to the traditional TDM program, project applicants must promote access to the Commute View System which is being implemented by the City to provide information on congested routes to provide additional trip reduction measures. The Commute View System is an advanced traveler information system which provides real time travel time information, incident information, and general traffic conditions through a variety of devices such as the cable, internet, cell phone and wireless PDA. This will provide commuters the ability to make informed decisions regarding the route, time of travel and mode of transportation. Project applicants must include or share in a transit connection system to promote use of the existing Metro Green Line service, remote employee lot during seasonal peaks and local circulator service. Based upon estimate usage patterns and trial studies, an approximately three percent reduction in trips to and from the site during peak periods is anticipated with these enhancements (L -8). Intelligent Transportation Systems Connections/Upgrades (9) The South Bay area will be enhanced with an area -wide signal system upgrade prior to project completion in 2012. This system is already funded and will be implemented with or without the proposed project. The improvement will provide for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) which provide real time adjustment to signal timing based upon current conditions thereby increasing capacity along major corridors. ITS system enhancements are 55 145 currently being tested and evaluated which provide further enhanced capacity. These enhancements provide advanced communication upgrades to the users of the roadway systems. Items include Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS). ATIS provides commuters with information to make route and time of day decisions. The enhanced ATIS system that would be included within the South Bay ITS system will enable private sector partners to disseminate freeway and arterial traffic information to the public via paid subscription services. ATMS manages the traffic system on surrounding streets. Applicants for development projects within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site must provide for connectivity to the systems described above. Project applicants must provide access to information disseminated by the ATIS system to patrons and employees by including at least one television monitor or equivalent equipment that is compatible with and connected to the ATIS system and that displays current commuter information from the ATIS system during all hours that the development is open for business. The monitor or equivalent equipment shall be placed in a centralized location within the development, shall be specifically identified on directory maps of the facility, shall be specifically and clearly identified as the location for obtaining current travel information and shall be identified elsewhere throughout the development with signage that directs patrons to the location. Project applicants must also facilitate dissemination of information provided by the ATIS system to project employees by working with project tenants to offer fully or partially subsidized monthly subscriptions to employees (currently estimated at full cost of $5.00 per month per user). Project applicants (or successors in interest) must provide any new project tenant with information regarding subscription programs available to employees and costs thereof and shall encourage tenants to provide subsidized monthly subscriptions to their employees. However, because there is no guarantee that subscription subsidies will be provided by future tenants of developments within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, no additional credit for these subscriptions can be taken except for the enhancements provided by the South Bay ITS system as presently designed (7 %, see discussion under "Future Highway System Improvements" above) (L -9). Local Street- Freeway Inter -Ties (10) This mitigation measure is applicable to buildout of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site beyond the Plaza El Segundo Project Development. Applicants for development projects within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site (excluding the Plaza El Segundo Project) shall fund or construct upgrades and enhancements to the El Segundo and /or South Bay ITS systems, and /or the Caltrans ITS system that singly or in combination cause an increase of 3% in the capacity of the street 56 146 system served by these ITS systems. The 3% increase shall be measured from the calculated capacity of the system based upon existing lane configurations, plus a 10% increase on street in the City of El Segundo, and 7% increase on streets outside the City of El Segundo to reflect the El Segundo and South Bay ITS systems, respectively. The upgrades /enhancements shall be selected from the following menu and approved by the relevant jurisdictional agency: expansion of the fiber optic communication system, expansion of wireless communication components, provision of software components, supplemental advance system detectors, changeable message signs, closed circuit television cameras, or any other reasonably feasible upgrade or enhancement approved by the relevant jurisdictional agency. The applicant shall participate in any applicable fair share fee mitigation program that will otherwise fund the foregoing upgrades /enhancements and shall receive credit for all fair share payments (L -10). Project parking/egress information system for key access/egress corridors. (11) Project applicants must provide parking /egress information systems in the manner of Changeable Message Signs (CMS) along key access /egress corridors of Sepulveda Boulevard, Rosecrans Avenue, and Park Place. Currently, Los Angeles County is installing CMS on major streets in the South Bay area and locations for additional CMS would be identified in coordination with Los Angeles County. A centrally located kiosk system must be included in project design that can disseminate roadway conditions along the major routes. This information would be utilized by the employee or patron to determine the least congested access /egress route to /from the project, thereby minimizing delay on the roadway systems. Based upon recent studies in the South Bay area under trial conditions, implementation of this measure is anticipated to improve capacity at the site adjacent intersections by three percent, along major corridors of Rosecrans Avenue, Sepulveda Boulevard, and El Segundo Boulevard by two percent, and the balance of the study intersections by one percent (L -11). Plaza El Segundo From the list of mitigation measures required to address the complete implementation of the C -4 zone on the proposed Sepulveda / Rosecrans Rezoning Site, the following specific mitigation measures must be required to address the traffic impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. Physical Roadway improvements (12) El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard — Convert the existing eastbound right -turn only lane to a shared through /right -turn lane. There exists three receiving lanes on the east leg of the intersection. In addition, modify the raised center 57 147 median to convert the westbound shared through left -turn lane to a dedicated second left turn lane and additional through lane (L- 13). (13) El Segundo Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard — Not required for Plaza El Segundo Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative. (14) Rosecrans Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard — On the westbound approach of Rosecrans Avenue dedicate additional right -of -way on the north side of Rosecrans Avenue to provide a free flow right -turn lane. Widen the east side of Sepulveda Boulevard along the project frontage to provide the acceptance lane for the free westbound right -turn lane. This additional lane on Sepulveda should be improved to the new Park Place connection where a right turn lane will be provided. This intersection's jurisdiction is shared with Manhattan Beach and Caltrans. Coordination and concurrence of these agencies for implementation of these improvements would be required (L -15). (15) Rosecrans Avenue and Continental Way — Not required for Plaza El Segundo Reduced Traffic Generation. Site Trip Reductions (16) The project applicant must promote rideshare programs (bikes, rideshare matching, and transit options) as required by the City of El Segundo Transportation Demand Management Program (TDM). In addition to the traditional TDM program and to provide additional trip reduction measures, the project applicant must promote access to the Commuter View System which is being implemented by the City to provide information on congested routes. The project applicant must provide a transit connection system that may be shared with other nearby retail projects to promote use of the existing Metro Green Line service, remote employee lot during seasonal peaks and local circulator service. Based upon typical usage patterns, an approximately three percent reduction in trips to and from the site during peak periods is anticipated with these enhancements (L -17). Intelligent Transportation System Connections/Upgrades (17) The South Bay area will be enhanced with an area -wide signal system upgrade prior to project completion in 2012. This system is already funded and will be implemented with or without the proposed project. The improvement will provide for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) which provide real time adjustment to signal timing based upon current conditions thereby increasing capacity along major corridors. ITS system enhancements are currently being tested and evaluated which provide further enhanced capacity. These enhancements provide advanced communication upgrades to the users of the roadway systems. Items include Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) and 58 148 Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS). ATIS provides commuters with information to make route and time of day decisions. The enhanced ATIS system that would be included within the South Bay ITS system will enable private sector partners to disseminate freeway and arterial traffic information to the public via paid subscription services. ATMS manages the traffic system on surrounding streets. Applicants for development projects within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site must provide for connectivity to the systems described above. Project applicants must provide access to information disseminated by the ATIS system to patrons and employees by including at least one television monitor or equivalent equipment that is compatible with and connected to the ATIS system and that displays current commuter information from the ATIS system during all hours that the development is open for business. The monitor or equivalent equipment shall be placed in a centralized location within the development, shall be specifically identified on directory maps of the facility, shall be specifically and clearly identified as the location for obtaining current travel information and shall be identified elsewhere throughout the development with signage that directs patrons to the location. Project applicants must also facilitate dissemination of information provided by the ATIS system to project employees by working with project tenants to offer fully or partially subsidized monthly subscriptions to employees (currently estimated at full cost of $5.00 per month per user). Project applicants (or successors in interest) must provide any new project tenant with information regarding subscription programs available to employees and costs thereof and shall encourage tenants to provide subsidized monthly subscriptions to their employees. However, because there is no guarantee that subscription subsidies will be provided by future tenants of developments within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, no additional credit for these subscriptions can be taken except for the enhancements provided by the South Bay ITS system as presently designed (7 %, see discussion under "Future Highway System Improvements" above) (L -18). d) Findings. (1) Implementation of the mitigation measures would reduce traffic - related impacts from Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning to less than significant levels with the exception of El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard during the p.m. peak hour and Rosecrans Avenue and Aviation Boulevard for the Saturday mid -day peak hour. (2) In addition, improvements at three intersections require coordination and concurrence of Caltrans and /or other agencies for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. In the event that the concurrence of other jurisdictions cannot be obtained, impacts at these intersections would be significant and unavoidable. 59 149 (3) Implementation of the mitigation measures would reduce traffic - related impacts from the Plaza El Segundo Development to less than significant levels with the exception of the intersection of El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard. (4) In addition, improvements at two intersections require coordination and concurrence of Caltrans and /or other agencies for the Plaza El Segundo Development. In the event that the concurrence of other jurisdictions cannot be obtained, impacts at these intersections would be significant and unavoidable. (5) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to transportation and traffic. (6) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. (7) If mitigation is not adopted by the other jurisdiction(s), the impact would remain significant and unavoidable and the City Council this includes the impact within the ambit of the Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC). 13. Utilities - Sewer. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoninq (1) The estimated sewage generation associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be 242,750 gpd. Sewage generation would be associated with the proposed Plaza El Segundo uses and additional development up to the levels permitted under the proposed C -4 zone. Continuation of the existing lumber yard in its current location would not result in any net change in sewage generation from this use. The production process associated with the industrial gas production facility permitted under the proposed C -4 zone does not generate sewage. Expansion of the existing RV storage facility onto the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not involve generation of sewage. As such, these facilities would not require additional infrastructure or generate demand for sewage conveyance and treatment. (2) As there is no sewer infrastructure directly serving the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, a significant impact to sewage service would be created unless it is mitigated by the 150 .o addition of sewer infrastructure directly serving the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. (3) Additionally, a large portion of the site is not located within County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County jurisdiction, and would therefore need to be annexed into County Sanitation District 5 prior to project approval. Upon annexation, local sewer infrastructure would carry sewage to County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County infrastructure and ultimately to the JWPCP. According to the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, sewer service will be provided up to the levels legally permitted. Because JWPCP has sufficient treatment capacity to accommodate the sewage flows associated with the existing development, there would be no impacts associated with sewage treatment. Once the necessary infrastructure is established in conjunction with development that occurs within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site in accordance with the proposed C -4 zone, there would be a less than significant impact on sewer capacity and treatment services. Plaza El Segundo (4) The analysis regarding sewer service and infrastructure within the Plaza El Segundo Development site is in accordance with the mitigation measure for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning that requires project specific evaluation of potential sewer impacts and no further analysis beyond that set forth in the following mitigation measures is required. The analysis demonstrates that this component of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would not result in new effects related to sewer service and infrastructure that were not examined in the Program EIR for the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. (5) The proposed Plaza El Segundo would generate an estimated 104,625 gpd of sewage. As there is no sewer infrastructure directly serving the Plaza El Segundo site, the proposed Plaza El Segundo would include the construction of sewer infrastructure providing sufficient capacity to handle sewage flows that would be generated by the proposed Plaza El Segundo. According to the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, sewer service will be provided up to the levels legally permitted. Because JWPCP has sufficient treatment capacity to accommodate the sewage flows associated with the existing development, there would be no impacts associated with sewage capacity or treatment. Once the necessary infrastructure is constructed, there would be a less than significant impact on sewer capacity and treatment services. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning 61 151 Subsequent environmental documentation must be prepared for development projects proposed to be constructed on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. This information must be examined, at the time the development project is proposed, in light of the Program EIR to determine whether a new Initial Study would be required to be prepared leading to either an EIR or Negative Declaration. The subsequent environmental documentation must include the following: (1) An analysis of sewer service to the proposed development must be prepared which examines the capacity of existing sewer lines to serve the development, the projected peak sewage generation and must identify new sewer infrastructure required to serve the development (M -1.1). C) Mitigation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning The following mitigation measures are required for the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning to ensure compliance with all code and ordinance requirements: (1) An analysis of sewer service to the proposed development must be prepared which examines the capacity of existing sewer lines to serve the development, the projected peak sewage generation, and must identify new sewer infrastructure required to serve the development (M.1 -1).

(6) Project applicants must comply with the City's Sewer Ordinance No. 1093, of the City of El Segundo Municipal Code, Title 12, Chapter I General Provisions, Policies and Procedures (M -1.6). (7) Prior to a building permit being issued the project applicant must submit the Final Working Drawings to the City of El Segundo 62 152 Planning and Building Safety Development Services Department and the Public Works Department for review and approval (M -1.7). (8) Closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection of existing on- site and adjacent off -site sewer mains must be conducted to determine the present condition of the infrastructure which the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project will connect to (M- 1.8). (9) All future developments must be discharged to the existing twelve -inch sanitary sewer main in Rosecrans Avenue (M -1.9). (10) New businesses that that generate Fats, Oils, or Greases (e.g., restaurants and grocery stores) must be required to install grease interceptors with a minimum 30 minute retention period to ensure these contaminants do not block the sewerage system (M- 1.10). Plaza El Segundo The following mitigation measures are required for the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development to ensure compliance with all code and ordinance requirements: (11) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site must be annexed to Los Angeles County Sanitation District No. 5 (M- 1.11). (12) The project applicant must be required to obtain a sewer connection permit from the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (District 5) to obtain sanitary sewer service (M- 1.12). (13) Additional local sewer infrastructure must be provided by the applicant as necessary to connect the Plaza El Segundo Site with existing sewer infrastructure. This provision must be coordinated with the project applicant and may be the partial responsibility of the applicant, as determined by the City (M- 1.13). (14) The existing 15 -inch sanitary sewer line must be removed and replaced with an 18 -inch line. Plans must identify point of connection for the proposed ten -inch sanitary sewer to the existing sanitary sewer main on Allied Way (M- 1.14). (15) Project applicants must comply with the City's Sewer Ordinance No. 1093, of the City of El Segundo Municipal Code, Title 12, Chapter I General Provisions, Policies and Procedures (M- 1.15). (16) Prior to a building permit being issued the project applicant must submit the Final Working Drawings to the City of El Segundo Planning and Building Safety Department and the Public Works Department for review and approval (M- 1.16). (17) Closed circuit television (CCTV) inspection of existing on- site and adjacent off -site sewer mains must be conducted to 63 153 14 determine the present condition of the infrastructure which the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project will connect to (M- 1.17). (18) New businesses that that generate Fats, Oils, or Greases (e.g., restaurants and grocery stores) must be required to install grease interceptors with a minimum 30 minute retention period to ensure these contaminants do not block the sewerage system (M- 1.18) d) Findings. (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to sewer facilities. (2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. (3) If mitigation is not adopted by the other jurisdiction(s), the impact would remain significant and unavoidable and the City Council this includes the impact within the ambit of the Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC). Utilities - Water. a) Facts /effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. (1) The estimated water consumption associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be 291,300 gpd. Continuation of the existing lumber yard in its current location would not result in any net change in water consumption from this use. The production process associated with the industrial gas production facility permitted under the proposed C -4 zone does not use water. Expansion of the existing RV storage facility onto the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not involve additional water consumption. As such, these facilities would not require additional infrastructure or generate demand for water supply or infrastructure. Given the anticipated land uses at the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning and Site, and the water consumption rate of 291,300 gpd, impacts to water supply would be less than significant. (2) As minimal water distribution infrastructure exists on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, provision of water supply infrastructure would be included in development permitted under the proposed C -4 zone. Additional water infrastructure would be 64 154 required to serve future development within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Additionally, because new infrastructure is required to adequately serve the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, temporary disruptions may occur, lasting up to four hours at a time, during construction of new infrastructure and subsequent connection. As the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development requires the expansion of existing water infrastructure, a significant impact to water service would occur. (3) A water needs assessment determined that the City of El Segundo has sufficient water supplies to supply to proposed project. Plaza El Segundo (4) The analysis provided below regarding water service and infrastructure within the Plaza El Segundo Development site is in accordance with the measures for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning that require project specific evaluation of potential water service impacts and no further analysis of this issue is required beyond that set forth in the following paragraphs, would be required for the Plaza El Segundo Development. The analysis demonstrates that this component of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would not result in new effects related to water service and infrastructure that were not examined in the Program EIR for the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. (5) The proposed Plaza El Segundo would consume an estimated 125,550 gpd of water. The Department of Public Works has sufficient water to supply the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development's estimated demands at the site. Impacts to water supply would therefore be less than significant. (6) As minimal water distribution infrastructure exists on the Plaza El Segundo site, provision of required infrastructure would be included as part of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. Additionally, because new infrastructure is required to adequately serve the Plaza El Segundo site, temporary disruptions may occur, lasting up to four hours at a time, during construction of new infrastructure and subsequent connection. As the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development requires the expansion of existing water infrastructure, a significant impact to water service would occur. (7) Development of the proposed Plaza El Segundo would implement the proposed C-4 zoning on a portion of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site and would be within the parameters used to develop the water supply assessment for the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. 65 i J b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Subsequent environmental documentation shall be prepared for development projects proposed to be constructed on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site.

(5) Development on the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site must include dual water connections to allow for landscaping to be irrigated by reclaimed water (M.2 -5). .. 156 (6) Reclaimed water must be used as the water source to irrigate landscaped areas on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site (M.2 -6). (7) Efficient irrigation systems must be installed which minimize runoff and evaporation and maximize the water which will reach plant roots (e.g. drip irrigation, automatic sprinklers equipped with moisture sensors) (M.2 -7). (8) Automatic sprinkler systems must be set to irrigate landscaping during early morning hours or during the evening to reduce water losses from evaporation. Sprinklers must also be reset to water less often in cooler months and during the rainfall season so that water is not wasted by excessive landscape irrigation (M.2 -8). (9) Selection of drought - tolerant, low water consuming plant varieties must be used to reduce irrigation water consumption (M.2 -9). (10) Project applicants must comply with the City's Conservation Program, Ordinance No. 1194, of the City of El Segundo Municipal Code, Title 10 -Parks and Recreation, Chapter 2 Water Conservation in Landscaping and Resolution No. 3806 (M.2 -10). • Prior to a building permit being issued the project applicant must submit the Final Working Drawings to the City of El Segundo Planning and Building Safety Department for review and approval relative to compliance with the City's Water Conservation Ordinance and Guidelines for Water Conservation in Landscaping. Plaza El Segundo The following mitigation measures shall be implemented to address significant impacts related to water distribution infrastructure. (11) Water distribution mains must be installed in the eastward extension of Park Place and the extension of Allied Way to Park Place in order to complete the existing water grid and provide water distribution to the interior of the Plaza El Segundo site.

(1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to water service. (2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. 15. Utilities — Solid Waste. a) Facts /effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The existing structures on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site have been or are in the process of being demolished. Approximately 75 percent of the solid waste generated during construction as a result of the Rezoning has been recycled and salvaged. Through the remainder of construction such solid waste would continue to be recycled and 68 i:J$ salvaged at this rate. Materials not recycled would be disposed of at local landfills. The amount of solid waste generated by the construction of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project would not be significant as it would not create a need for new facilities, systems or supplies, or substantial alterations to local or regional solid waste disposal facilities. (2) The estimated solid waste generation associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be approximately 4,250 pounds per day. Continuation of the existing lumber yard in its current location would not result in any net change in solid waste generation. The production process associated with the industrial gas production facility permitted under the proposed C-4 zone does not generate solid waste. Expansion of the existing RV storage facility onto the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not involve additional solid waste generation. As such, these facilities would not generate demand for solid waste disposal facilities. (3) Although existing landfills in Los Angeles County are near capacity, potential landfill expansion could accommodate the projected growth for the region. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be required to comply with the City's SSRP, which the City has implemented as a means of achieving the goals and requirements of AB 939. Therefore, long term operational impacts to landfills and solid waste service would be less than significant. Plaza El Segundo (4) With the recycling of most of the solid waste generated by the construction phase of the Plaza El Segundo, short-term construction impacts to landfills and solid waste service would be less than significant. (5) The development at Plaza El Segundo would generate approximately 2,125 pounds of solid waste per day. Solid waste generated on -site would be disposed in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations related to solid waste. The Plaza El Segundo site would be required to comply with the City's SSRP, which the City has implemented as a means of achieving the goals and requirements of AB 939. Therefore, long term operational impacts to landfills and solid waste service would be less than significant. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation. (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. C) Mitigation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning 69 159 Development of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project must comply with all applicable City, County, and State requirements regulating solid waste disposal. Cumulative impact is the responsibility of local, regional, and state agencies and therefore no project level mitigation measures are available. The City of El Segundo imposes the following standard conditions of project approval to offset project impacts: (1) Where economically feasible, the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project must incorporate the use of recycled materials in building materials, furnishing operations and building maintenance (M.3 -1). (2) The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project must recycle all construction debris in a practical, available, and accessible manner, to the maximum extent feasible, during the demolition and construction phases (M.3 -2). (3) The design of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project must allocate space for a recycling collection area for use by both on -site employees and visitors, the design of which will adhere to siting requirements in the City's recycling ordinance. The design of the collection area will facilitate source separation and collection of additional materials that may be designated as recyclable by the City in the future (M.3 -3). Plaza El Segundo (4) Where economically feasible, the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development must incorporate . the use of recycled materials in building materials, furnishing operations and building maintenance (M.3 -4). (5) The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development must recycle all construction debris in a practical, available, and accessible manner, to the maximum extent feasible, during the demolition and construction phases (M.3 -5). (6) The design of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development must allocate space for a recycling collection area for use by both on -site employees and visitors, the design of which will adhere to siting requirements in the City's recycling ordinance. The design of the collection area will facilitate source separation and collection of additional materials that may be designated as recyclable by the City in the future (M.3 -6). d) Findings. (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to solid waste. 70 160 (2) Changes or incorporated into the Plaza El Segundo substantially lessen identified in the FEIR. 16. Utilities — Natural Gas. a) Facts /effects. b) C) alterations have been required in, or Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Development project which avoid or the significant environmental effect as Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The estimated natural gas consumption associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be approximately 82,166 cf per day. Continuation of the existing lumber yard in its current location would not result in any net change in natural gas consumption. The production process associated with the industrial gas production facility would utilize less natural gas than the existing Air Products facility located within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Expansion of the existing RV storage facility onto the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not involve additional natural gas consumption. As such, these facilities would not generate additional demand on natural gas supplies and infrastructure. According to the Southern California Gas Company, the demand for natural gas of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning can be accommodated by the existing natural gas supply available and infrastructure in the project area. Therefore, natural gas impacts from the development of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be less than significant. Plaza El Segundo (2) The estimated natural gas consumption by the Plaza El Segundo is approximately 41,083 cf per day. According to the Southern California Gas Company, the demand for natural gas at the Plaza El Segundo can be accommodated by the existing natural gas supply available and infrastructure in the project area. Therefore, natural gas impacts from the development of the proposed Plaza El Segundo would be less than significant. Subsequent Environmental Documentation. (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. Mitigation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) As no significant natural gas service impacts have been identified, no mitigation measures are required. Plaza El Segundo 71 161 (2) As no significant natural gas service impacts have been identified, no mitigation measures are required d) Findings. (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to natural gas service /supply. 17. Utilities — Electricity. a) Facts /effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The estimated electricity consumption associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be approximately 39,321 kilowatt hours (kwh) per day. Continuation of the existing lumber yard in its current location would not result in any net change in electricity consumption. The production process associated with the industrial gas production facility would utilize less electricity than the existing Air Products facility located within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Expansion of the existing RV storage facility onto the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would not involve additional electricity consumption. As such, these facilities would not generate additional demand on electricity supplies and infrastructure. SCE has indicated that they can accommodate the electricity demands of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo project. Therefore, impacts related to electricity would be less than significant. Plaza El Segundo (2) The estimated electricity consumption by the Plaza El Segundo is approximately 23,544 kwh per day. SCE has indicated that they can accommodate the electricity demands of the proposed Plaza El Segundo. Therefore, impacts related to electricity would be less than significant. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation. (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. C) Mitigation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Although the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project would not result in any significant electricity impacts, the City of El Segundo imposes the following standard conditions of project approval to offset project impacts: 72 16 ,2 (1) The applicant must consult with SCE during the design process of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project regarding potential energy conservation measures for the project. Examples of such energy conservation measures include: • Design windows (i.e., tinting, double pane glass, etc.) to reduce thermal gain and loss and thus cooling loads during warm weather, and heating loads during cool weather. • Install thermal insulation in walls and ceilings that exceed requirements established by the State of California Energy Conservation Standards. • Install high - efficiency lamps for all internal streetlights and outdoor security lighting. • Time control interior and exterior lighting. These systems must be programmed to account for variations in seasonal daylight times. • Finish exterior walls with light- colored materials and high - emissivity characteristics to reduce cooling loads. Finish interior walls with light- colored materials to reflect more light and thus increase lighting efficiency (M.5 -1). (2) All on -site electrical lines must be placed underground, except for high voltage transmission lines located along Rosecrans Avenue (M.5 -2). (3) Electrical transformers must be screened from view from the public right -of -way (M.5 -3). Plaza El Segundo Although the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would not result in any significant electricity impacts, the City of El Segundo imposes the following standard conditions of project approval to offset project impacts: (4) The applicant must consult with SCE during the design process of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development regarding potential energy conservation measures for the project. Examples of such energy conservation measures include: • Design windows (e.g., tinting, double pane glass, etc.) to reduce thermal gain and loss and thus cooling loads during warm weather, and heating loads during cool weather.

(1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to electricity. (2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. Cultural Resources. a) Facts /effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The Proposed Circulation Element Update Draft EIR requires analysis of potential impacts related to cultural resources for later projects that would implement the proposed Circulation Element Update. The proposed connection of Park Place between Sepulveda Boulevard and Nash Street and connection of Park Place to Hughes Way via Allied Way through the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would constitute a project that implements the Circulation Element Update policies. The analysis provided below meets the requirement for a records search to be conducted prior to development of Circulation Element facilities within the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site. Based upon the analysis, construction of this component of the proposed Circulation Element Update would not result in new effects related 74 164 to cultural resources that were not examined in the Program EIR for the proposed Circulation Element Update. (2) As no known archaeological resources are known to exist on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, no impacts to archaeological resources are anticipated as a result of future developments. It is not anticipated that any developments on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would encounter archaeological resources during construction activities. (3) No paleontological resources are known to exist on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Therefore, no impacts to paleontological resources are anticipated as a result of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project. (4) One historic resource has been identified on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. This resource has been identified as the brass foundry foundation located on the H. Kramer portion of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. Future development on the H. Kramer portion of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site could significantly impact this resource. Further evaluation is necessary to determine whether this resource is eligible for listing on the California or National Registers. Plaza El Segundo (5) The records search provided above is in accordance with the mitigation measures for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning that requires site specific evaluation of potential cultural resources issues and no further analysis of this is beyond that set forth in the preceding section would be required for the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. The analysis demonstrates that construction of this component of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would not result in new effects related to cultural resources that were not examined in the Program EIR for the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. (6) As no known archaeological resources are known to exist on the Plaza El Segundo Site, no impacts to archaeological resources are anticipated. Therefore, it is not anticipated that any archaeological resources would be encountered during construction activities associated with the Plaza El Segundo. (7) No paleontological resources are known to exist on the Plaza El Segundo Site. Therefore, no impacts to paleontological resources are anticipated as a result of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. (8) No historic resources have been identified on the Plaza El Segundo Site. All structures associated with the former industrial uses have been demolished and the Plaza El Segundo site is 75 .i6j currently undergoing soil characterization. Therefore, the Plaza El Segundo Development would not impact any historic resources and no mitigation measures are required. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Subsequent environmental documentation must be prepared for development projects proposed to be constructed on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. The subsequent environmental documentation must include the following: (1) A records search and /or Phase I Archaeological Survey must be conducted by a qualified archaeologist prior to the start of construction activities (including grading) for any development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. If the survey identifies resources within the construction area, follow on studies shall be conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the records search prior to commencement of construction (N -1). (2) Further analysis of Cultural Resource 19- 186856 is required, that meets the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(a)(2), to determine potential eligibility for the California or National Register of Historic Places prior to any construction activities occurring on the H. Kramer portion of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. If further analysis identifies that the resource is eligible, then the recommendations identified in that analysis must be followed (N -2). C) Mitigation. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezonin The following mitigation measure must be required for any future development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. (1) A records search and /or Phase I Archaeological Survey must be conducted by a qualified archaeologist prior to the start of construction activities (including grading) for any development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. If the survey identifies resources within the construction area, follow on studies must be conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the records search prior to commencement of construction (N -1). (2) Further analysis of Cultural Resource 19- 186856, that meets the requirements of CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(a)(2), is required to determine potential eligibility for the California or National Historic Register of Historic Places prior to any construction activities occurring on the H. Kramer portion of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. If further analysis identifies that the resource is eligible, then the recommendations identified in that analysis must be followed and measures identified to reduce impacts to less than significant levels (N -2). 76 166 (3) In the event that archaeological or paleontological resources are encountered during the course of grading or construction, all development must temporarily cease in these areas until the resources are properly assessed and subsequent recommendations are determined by a qualified archaeologist/paleontologist (N -3). Plaza El Segundo (4) In the event that archaeological or paleontological resources are encountered during the course of grading or construction, all development must temporarily cease in these areas until the resources are properly assessed and subsequent recommendations are determined by a qualified archaeologist /paleontologist (N -4). d) Findings. (1) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to cultural resources. (2) Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in the FEIR. D. Sinnificant Unavoidable Effects that Cannot Be Mitilaated to a Level of Insianificance. The City Council finds that in response to each adverse impact identified below, changes or alterations have been required or incorporated in the Project, which lessen the significant adverse environmental impact. However, these impacts cannot be totally avoided or reduced to a level of insignificance if the Project is implemented. Air Quality. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Construction Emissions (1) Maximum daily emissions from a typical construction project associated with the Proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning will exceed SCAQMD's daily thresholds for CO, ROG, NOx, and PM10. Therefore, emissions of these pollutants would result in significant short-term impacts. (2) Between 2007 and 2012, emissions from construction activity may occur simultaneously with operational emissions 77 167 associated with the proposed Plaza El Segundo. Combined emissions would exceed the SCAQMD's thresholds for CO, ROG, NOx and PM10, which would constitute a significant impact. Operational Emissions (3) Operation of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning in the buildout year of 2012 is anticipated to result in emissions that exceed the SCAQMD significance thresholds for four of the five criteria pollutants: CO, PM10, ROG, and NOx. Thus, a significant impact related to these four criteria pollutants would occur. Plaza El Segundo Construction Emissions (4) Maximum daily emissions associated with the construction of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development will exceed SCAQMD's daily thresholds for ROG and NOx. Therefore, emissions of these pollutants would result in significant short-term impacts. Operational Emissions (5) Operation of the proposed Plaza El Segundo is anticipated to result in emissions that exceed SCAQMD significance thresholds for four of the five criteria pollutants: CO, PM10, ROG, and NOx. Thus, a significant impact related to these four criteria pollutants is anticipated. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: (1) Prior to implementation of specific development projects, impacts associated with construction emissions must be examined in light of this Program EIR to determine whether a new Initial Study would be required to be prepared leading to either an EIR or Negative Declaration. This examination must provide quantified estimates of construction emissions based upon the specific site, schedule, and construction equipment utilization characteristics of the proposed development and compare the estimated emissions to the SCAQMD thresholds for construction emissions. The analysis must incorporate the mitigation measures identified below as appropriate, along with any other mitigation measures identified by the project - specific analysis (C- 1). C) Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Construction Emissions 78 168 The following is a list of feasible control measures that the SCAQMD recommends for construction emissions of PM10. These mitigation measures must be implemented for all areas where construction activities associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would occur. Fugitive Dust, PM10 Compliance with SCAQMD Rule 403, including but not limited to the following: (1) Prior to implementation of specific development projects, impacts associated with construction emissions must be examined. This examination must provide quantified estimates of construction emissions based upon the specific site, schedule, and construction equipment utilization characteristics of the proposed development and compare the estimated emissions to the SCAQMD thresholds for construction emissions.

(10) Traffic speeds on unpaved roads must be limited to 15 miles per hour (C -10). 79 169 (11) Operations on any unpaved surfaces must be suspended during first and second stage smog alerts (C -11). (12) For all construction emissions, the following measure must apply: The applicant must develop and implement a construction management plan, as approved by the City of El Segundo, which includes the following measures recommended by the SCAQMD, or equivalently effective measures approved by the SCAQMD: a. Configure construction parking to minimize traffic interference. b. Provide temporary traffic controls during all phases of construction activities to maintain traffic flow (e.g., flag person). c. Schedule construction activities that affect traffic flow on the arterial system to off -peak hours to the degree practicable. d. Re -route construction trucks away from congested streets. e. Consolidate truck deliveries when possible. f. Provide dedicated turn lanes for movement of construction trucks and equipment on- and off -site. g. Maintain equipment and vehicle engines in good condition and in proper tune as per manufacturer's specifications and per SCAQMD rules, to minimize exhaust emissions. h. Suspend use of all construction equipment operations during second stage smog alerts. Contact the SCAQMD at (800) 242 -4022 for daily forecasts. i. Use electricity from power poles rather than temporary diesel- or gasoline - powered generators. j. Use methanol- or natural gas - powered mobile equipment and pile drivers instead of diesel if readily available at competitive prices. k. Use propane- or butane - powered on -site mobile equipment instead of gasoline if readily available at competitive prices (C -12). Operational Emissions Regional emissions of CO, ROG, PM10, and NOx are associated with vehicular traffic. No feasible mitigation measures are 80 1 i available to reduce vehicle travel and related tail pipe exhaust emissions associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. Plaza El Segundo Construction Emissions The following is a list of feasible control measures that the SCAQMD recommends for construction emissions of PM10. These mitigation measures must be implemented during construction activities associated with the proposed Plaza El Segundo. Fugitive Dust, PM10 (13) The construction area and vicinity (500 -foot radius) must be swept (preferably with water sweepers) and watered at least twice daily. Site wetting must occur often enough to maintain a 10 percent surface soil moisture content throughout all earth moving activities (C -13).

(22) Operations on any unpaved surfaces must be suspended during first and second stage smog alerts (C -22). (23) The applicant must develop and implement a construction management plan, as approved by the City of El Segundo, which includes the following measures recommended by the SCAQMD, or equivalently effective measures approved by the SCAQMD: 81 171 a. Configure construction parking to minimize traffic interference. b. Provide temporary traffic controls during all phases of construction activities to maintain traffic flow (e.g., flag person). C. Schedule construction activities that affect traffic flow on the arterial system to off -peak hours to the degree practicable. d. Re -route construction trucks away from congested streets. e.

Use propane- or equipment instead of competitive prices (C -23). Operational Emissions butane - powered on -site mobile gasoline if readily available at Regional emissions of CO, ROG, PM10, and NOx are associated with vehicular traffic. No feasible mitigation measures are available to reduce vehicle travel and related tail pipe exhaust emissions associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. d) Finding: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The City finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City. The City finds that although the temporary construction related air A-6 17 r quality CO, ROG, NOx, and PM10 impact will remain significant and unavoidable, no feasible mitigation measures are available to avoid or lessen the impact below a level of significance. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh this significant unavoidable impact. (2) The City finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City. The City finds that although the operational related air quality CO, PM10, ROG, and NOx impact will remain significant and unavoidable, no feasible mitigation measures are available to avoid or lessen the impact below a level of significance. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh this significant unavoidable impact. Plaza El Segundo (3) The City finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City. The City finds that although the temporary construction related air quality ROG and NOx impact will remain significant and unavoidable, no feasible mitigation measures are available to avoid or lessen the impact below a level of significance. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh this significant unavoidable impact. (4) The City finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City. The City finds that although the operational related air quality CO, PM10, ROG, and NOx impact will remain significant and unavoidable, no feasible mitigation measures are available to avoid or lessen the impact below a level of significance. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh this significant unavoidable impact. 2. Noise. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Construction Noise (1) The non - residential receptor property locations located at the closest northern (FedEx facility) and eastern (Pacific Theatre) edges of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be significantly impacted due to an increase in ambient noise levels at these locations of 26.0 and 14.0 decibels, respectively. (2) In addition, construction activity on the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would cause the ambient noise levels at the Oak Avenue residential locations to exceed 65 dBA. As such, construction noise impacts associated with the 83 173 proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be significant. Plaza El Segundo Construction Noise (3) Ambient noise levels will not increase at the Oak Avenue location as a result of construction noise sources from the Plaza El Segundo site. This analysis reflects the greater distance between the Oak Avenue residential and the main part of the Plaza El Segundo Development site. However, when construction activities are taking place on the 4.7 acre portion of the Plaza El Segundo Development site located immediately northeast of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans intersection, the effects would be the same as for construction activities occurring under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and a significant impact related to construction noise would occur. (4) Construction activities on the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site would impact the receptor locations located to the north and east of the Plaza El Segundo site, due to their proximity. Specifically, ambient noise levels at these locations will experience temporary and occasional increases of 13 to 19 decibels (13 decibels at the Pacific Theatre and 19 decibels at the FedEx facility). Impacts to these receptor locations would be significant. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Subsequent environmental documentation must be prepared for development projects proposed to be constructed on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans site. The subsequent environmental documentation must address the following: (1) A project- specific construction noise analysis must be prepared that calculates, based on project - specific parameters and identification of the site - specific sensitive receptors that could be affected by construction activities, the noise levels that would be experienced at sensitive receptors located adjacent to that site. If noise levels resulting from construction activity would result in temporary construction noise levels that exceed 65 dBA at a sensitive receptor, or cause an incremental increase of 5 dBA over the existing ambient sound level, if the existing ambient sound level at the sensitive receptor location is 65 dBA or more, then the study must identify feasible mitigation measures to be applied to that project from the list of mitigation measures provided below (1 -1). C) Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning 84 174 The following mitigation measures are required to minimize construction related noise impacts associated with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning: (1) A project - specific construction noise analysis must be prepared that calculates, based on project - specific parameters and identification of the site - specific sensitive receptors that could be affected by construction activities, the noise levels that would be experienced at sensitive receptors located adjacent to that site. If noise levels resulting from construction activity would result in temporary construction noise levels that exceed 65 dBA at a sensitive receptor, or cause an incremental increase of 5 dBA over the existing ambient sound level, if the existing ambient sound level at the sensitive receptor location is 65 dBA or more, then the study must identify feasible mitigation measures to be applied to that project from the list of mitigation measures provided below. • Construction contracts must specify that all construction equipment shall be equipped with mufflers and other applicable noise attenuation devices. • During construction phases, the contractor must store and maintain equipment as far as possible from the adjacent receptor property locations to the southwest, north and east of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. • As stated in the City of El Segundo Municipal Code, construction must be restricted to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and prohibited at anytime on Sunday or a Federal holiday. • Temporary plywood noise barriers must be constructed along the northern and eastern property lines of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site during construction, which must be high enough to block the line -of -sight between the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site and receptor property locations to the southwest, north and east (1 -1). Plaza El Seaundo The follow mitigation measures are required to minimize construction related noise impacts associated with the Plaza El Segundo Development: (2) Construction contracts must specify that all construction equipment must be equipped with mufflers and other applicable noise attenuation devices (1 -2). (3) During construction phases, the contractor must store and maintain equipment as far as possible from the adjacent receptor 85 175 property locations to the north and east of the Plaza El Segundo site (1 -3). (4) As stated in the City of El Segundo Municipal Code, construction must be restricted to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and prohibited at anytime on Sunday or a Federal holiday (1 -4). (5) Temporary plywood noise barriers must be constructed along the 4.5 acre portion of the Plaza El Segundo site south of the UPRR tracks during construction, which must be high enough to block the line -of -sight (a minimum of 8 feet above existing grade) between the Plaza El Segundo site and receptor property locations to the southwest, north and east (1 -5). d) Finding: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) Temporary construction noise impacts at the FedEx and Pacific Theatres locations would be significant and unavoidable even with the implementation of all feasible mitigation measures. Plaza El Segundo (2) Temporary construction noise impacts at the FedEx facility would be significant and unavoidable even with the implementation of all feasible mitigation measures. (3) The City finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City. The City finds that although the temporary construction related noise impacts will remain significant and unavoidable, no feasible mitigation measures are available to avoid or lessen the impact below a level of significance. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh this significant unavoidable impact. 3. Transportation and Circulation. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would significantly impact two intersections during the p.m. peak hour or Saturday mid -day peak hour. These intersections are Sepulveda Boulevard/El Segundo Boulevard in the p.m. peak hour and Rosecrans Avenue /Aviation Boulevard in the Saturday mid -day peak period. (2) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning is estimated to contribute approximately 240 trips in the southbound direction on the San Diego Freeway between the 1 -105 interchange and El 86 176 b) C) Segundo Boulevard. During the afternoon peak hour, this number of trips would cause the D/C ratio to increase by 0.02, with a resulting LOS of F(0), which would constitute a significant impact at this location. (3) Significant impacts were identified for the southbound 1- 405 between the 1 -105 Interchange and El Segundo Boulevard for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The nearest arterial CMP monitoring stations are located at the intersections of Rosecrans Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard. These intersections would be significantly impacted by the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. Impacts of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning with respect to the CMP would be significant. Plaza El Segundo (4) The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would significantly and unavoidably impact one intersection during p.m. peak hour (Sepulveda Boulevard/El Segundo Boulevard). (5) The proposed Plaza El Segundo Development is estimated to contribute approximately 162 trips in the southbound direction on the San Diego Freeway between the 1 -105 interchange and El Segundo Boulevard. During the afternoon peak hour, this number of trips would cause the D/C ratio to increase by 0.01, with a resulting LOS of F(0), which would be a less than significant impact at this location. (6) The nearest arterial CMP monitoring stations are located at the intersections of Rosecrans Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard. These intersections would be significantly impacted by the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. Impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development with respect to the CMP would be significant. Subsequent Environmental Documentation: (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard. Convert the existing eastbound right -turn only lane to a shared through /right -turn lane. There exists three receiving lanes on the east leg of the intersection. In addition, modify the raised center median to convert the westbound shared through left -turn lane to a dedicated second left turn lane and additional through lane (L- 1). 87 Plaza El Sequndo From the list of mitigation measures required to address the complete implementation of the C -4 zone on the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, the following specific mitigation measures must be required to address the traffic impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. (2) El Sequndo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard — Convert the existing eastbound right -turn only lane to a shared through /right -turn lane. There exists three receiving lanes on the east leg of the intersection. In addition, modify the raised center median to convert the westbound shared through left -turn lane to a dedicated second left turn lane and additional through lane (L- 13). d) Finding: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoninq (1) Because no additional mitigation measures are available, impacts would be significant and unavoidable at the two intersections where the City's level of service standard would be exceeded. (2) The two intersections that would exceed the City's level of service threshold, even after implementation of all feasible intersection improvements, are: 0 Sepulveda Blvd./El Segundo Blvd. • Aviation Blvd. /Rosecrans Ave. (3) There is no mechanism available for providing fair share contributions to mitigate freeway impacts. Therefore impacts to one freeway segment (southbound San Diego Freeway between the 1 -105 interchange and El Segundo Boulevard) would be significant and unavoidable. (4) In addition, improvements at three intersections require coordination and concurrence of Caltrans and /or other agencies. In the event that the concurrence of other jurisdictions cannot be obtained, impacts at these intersections would be significant and unavoidable. Plaza El Segundo (5) Because no additional mitigation measures are available, impacts would be significant and unavoidable at one intersection where the City's level of service standard would be exceeded. (6) The intersection that would exceed the City's level of service threshold, even after implementation of all feasible intersection improvements, are: 88 • Sepulveda Blvd./El Segundo Blvd. (7) In addition, improvements at two intersections require coordination and concurrence of Caltrans and /or other agencies. In the event that the concurrence of other jurisdictions cannot be obtained, impacts at these intersections would be significant and unavoidable. (8) The City finds that incorporation of such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of the City. The City finds that although the transportation and circulation impact will remain significant and unavoidable, no feasible mitigation measures are available to avoid or lessen the impact below a level of significance. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh this significant unavoidable impact. E. Insionificant Cumulative Impacts. The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings in this matter do not identify or contain substantial evidence which identifies significant adverse cumulative environmental effects associated with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative in conjunction with the related Projects identified in Section III.B of the DEIR (collectively, the "Related Projects ") with respect to the areas listed below: Aesthetics 2. Air Quality 3. Agricultural Resources 4. Biological Resources 5. Cultural Resources 6. Geology and Soils 7. Hydrology and Water Quality 8. Hazards and Hazardous Materials 9. Land Use 10. Mineral Resources 11. Noise 12. Public Services 13. Recreation 14. Utilities 89 179 a) Sewer b) Water c) Natural Gas d) Electricity F. Cumulative Impacts Identified as Potentially Sianificant But Which Did Not Exceed Significance Thresholds in the EIR. The City Council finds that although the following cumulative environmental effects were identified as potentially significant in the FOR for the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative, changes or alterations within the responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies and the City have been adopted by such other agencies or can and should be adopted by such other agency to avoid or lessen the potential significant environmental effects listed below to a level of insignificance. Transportation and Circulation. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) Traffic resulting from the 52 related projects could contribute to potential future deterioration at the study intersections. This cumulative analysis was based on a worst -case set of assumptions where all of the related projects were constructed and built to the intensity currently envisioned. In addition, none of the traffic enhancements which may be associated with the 52 related projects were included in the analysis. It is likely that traffic conditions would be better than noted in the EIR analysis. (2) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would contribute to a potentially significant cumulative impact at nine intersections located wholly or partly within the City of El Segundo. (3) The cumulative effects identified are anticipated to occur with or without the project with the exception of the impact at the Park Place and Nash Street, Park Place and Douglas Street, and Rosecrans Avenue and Douglas Street intersections. These impacts are reduced to a level of insignificance with traffic improvements proposed with the exception of p.m. peak hour period at Rosecrans Avenue and Douglas Street. This is a worst - case analysis which does not include specific improvement measures which may be required of the cumulative projects; therefore, conditions are anticipated to be better than stated in the Draft EIR. 90� Plaza El Segundo (4) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would contribute to a significant cumulative impact at seven intersections located wholly or partly within the City of El Segundo. (5) The cumulative effects identified are anticipated to occur with or without the project with the exception of the impact at the Rosecrans Avenue and Douglas Street intersection (p.m. peak hour) and the Rosecrans Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard intersection during the Saturday mid -day peak. These impacts are reduced to a level of insignificance with traffic improvements proposed by the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project with the exception of the p.m. peak period at Rosecrans Avenue and Douglas Street. This is a worst case analysis which does not include specific improvement measures which may be required of the cumulative projects; therefore, conditions are anticipated to be better than noted. However, the incremental effect of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development, in connection with the effects of past, present and probable future projects would be cumulatively considerable at seven intersections located wholly or partly within the City of El Segundo. b) Subsequent Environmental Documentation: (1) No subsequent environmental documentation is required. C) Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site_Rezonin (1) In order to assist in addressing future cumulative traffic deterioration, the City of El Segundo through its Traffic Congestion Mitigation Fee Ordinance will require the developer of a specific project to make a "fair share" contribution for programmed roadway improvements. In addition, project implementation of the signal system enhancements described above will benefit the entire system and reduce cumulative impacts along the roadway corridors (L -12). Plaza El Segundo (2) In order to assist in addressing future cumulative traffic deterioration, the project applicant must comply with the City of El Segundo Traffic Congestion Mitigation Fee Ordinance and make a "fair share" contribution for programmed roadway improvements. In addition, project implementation of the signal system enhancements described above will benefit the entire system and reduce cumulative impacts along the roadway corridors (L -19). d) Finding: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning 91 (1) Payment of the El Segundo Traffic Mitigation Fee would reduce impacts related to cumulative traffic growth at intersections that are wholly or partly within the City of El Segundo to less than significant. Plaza El Segundo (2) Payment of the El Segundo Traffic Mitigation Fee would reduce impacts related to cumulative traffic growth at intersections that are wholly or partly within the City of El Segundo to less than significant. (3) The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying a significant cumulative contribution to any significant unavoidable environmental effects of the Project with respect to Transportation and Traffic. G. Sianificant Unavoidable Cumulative Impacts. The City Council finds that in response to each impact identified below, changes or alterations have been required or incorporated into the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative, which lessen the significant adverse environmental impact. However, these impacts cannot be totally avoided or reduced to a level of insignificance if the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative are implemented. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative contribution to these impacts would be cumulatively considerable under CEQA. Population Housing and Employment a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo (1) A review of the related projects listed in Table III -1 of the Draft EIR, confirms the projections for slow housing growth in the region; only 10,628 new housing units are currently proposed. In addition, approximately 62,646 jobs would be created by the same list of cumulative projects (see Table IV.J -3 of the EIR). (2) Based on the substantial disparity between projected subregional job growth and housing construction, there will be a significant cumulative impact on population growth and housing demand. b) Mitigation: Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning 92 182 (1) There are no available mitigation measures to address the incremental contribution of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning to the significant cumulative impact related to population growth and housing demand. Plaza El Segundo (2) There are no available mitigation measures to address the incremental contribution of the proposed Plaza El Segundo to the significant cumulative impact related to population growth and housing demand. C) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that although mitigation can be incorporated into the Project to reduce the severity of the Project - specific population growth and housing demand impacts, no feasible mitigation measures exist to address significant and unavoidable cumulative population and growth and housing demand impacts. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. 2. Transportation and Traffic. a) Facts /Effects. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (1) The impacts of cumulative traffic growth were incorporated into the traffic modeling for the Project. (2) There is no mechanism available for providing fair share contributions to improvements that would mitigate cumulative traffic impacts at six intersections located wholly outside the City of El Segundo. Therefore, cumulative traffic impacts would be significant and unavoidable at the following intersections (although such impacts would exist with or without the project): • Rosecrans Avenue and Hindry Avenue, p.m. peak hour. • Rosecrans Avenue and 1 -405 SB Off -Ramp, a.m. and p.m. peak hour. • Marine Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard, a.m. and p.m. peak hour. • Marine Avenue and Aviation Boulevard, a.m. and p.m. peak hour. • Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard, a.m. and p.m. peak hour. 93 183 Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard, a.m. and p.m. peak hour. (3) No sub - regional traffic impact fee.has been established or proposed for "fair- share" contributions to regional transportation improvements that might reduce the severity of cumulative traffic impacts. Plaza El Segundo (4) There is no mechanism available for providing fair share contributions to improvements that would mitigate cumulative traffic impacts at six intersections located wholly outside the City of El Segundo. Therefore, cumulative traffic impacts would be significant and unavoidable at the following intersections: • Rosecrans Avenue and Hindry Avenue, p.m. peak hour. • Rosecrans Avenue and 1 -405 SB Off -Ramp, a.m. and p.m. peak hour. • Marine Avenue and Sepulveda Boulevard, a.m. and p.m. peak hour. • Marine Avenue and Aviation Boulevard, a.m. and p.m. peak hour. • Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard, a.m. and p.m. peak hour. • Manhattan Beach Boulevard and Aviation Boulevard, a.m. and p.m. peak hour. b) Finding: (1) The City Council finds that although mitigation can be incorporated into the Project to reduce the severity of the Project - specific traffic impact, no feasible mitigation measures exist to address significant and unavoidable cumulative traffic impacts outside the City of EI Segundo. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable cumulative impacts. 3. Solid Waste. a) Fact/Effects. (1) Implementation of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning in conjunction with the various related projects identified in Section 111.13 of the Draft EIR as well as cumulative growth in the County of Los Angeles would further increase demand on landfill capacity. Additional capacity to accommodate the cumulative disposal needs of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and related projects is the responsibility of local, county, 94 184 and state solid waste management agencies and may become available as these agencies develop solutions to meet the future disposal needs at a regional level (e.g., expanding existing landfills, transporting waste to other landfills, converting waste to energy, recycling and waste reduction). (2) Similar to the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning, the related projects would be subject to the source reduction and recycling requirements established by the local jurisdiction in accordance with AB 939 (i.e., divert 50 percent of the solid waste generated from landfills through waste reduction, recycling and composting). As with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning, future projects would be required to participate in recycling programs, thus reducing the amount of solid waste to be disposed of at the landfills described above. (3) However, because the precise solutions to meeting the need for landfill capacity are not known and are the responsibility of other agencies, the incremental contribution of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning, in conjunction with the contributions of related projects, would be cumulatively considerable. b) Findin : (1) The City Council finds that while mitigation is not needed to reduce Project- specific solid waste impacts, no feasible mitigation measures exist to address significant and unavoidable cumulative impacts caused by solid waste generation. The Project benefits set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations outweigh these significant unavoidable impacts. H. Project Alternatives. 1. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Consideration. Various alternatives to the Proposed Action were considered and dismissed without further study because they failed to accomplish the objectives of the Project or were otherwise not feasible. CEQA Guidelines § 15126.6(c) requires EIRs to identify any alternatives that were considered by the lead agency but were rejected as infeasible during the scoping process, and briefly explain the reasons underlying the lead agency's determination. Alternatives involving residential development were dismissed as being infeasible for two reasons. First, it may not be possible to remediate the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site to the levels required in order to develop residential uses. In the event that it is possible, it is likely cost prohibitive. Second, the City of El Segundo does not permit residential developments east of Sepulveda Boulevard because the City cannot adequately support residential developments in this area with City services. 95 185 2. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning a) No Proiect Alternative. (1) Description. Under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning No Project Alternative, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would remain under its current Industrial General Plan designation and zoning classifications. Reasonably foreseeable activities that would occur within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site under the No Project Alternative include: 1) characterization and remediation activities that are currently ongoing on a portion of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would continue under the oversight of the cognizant regulatory agencies; 2) existing operative uses within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site (Air Products, Learned Lumber) would remain in their current locations; and 3) no new development would occur on the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. No new development is anticipated because, other than the existing operating uses, there is no known interest in development of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, other than the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning No Project Alternative therefore assumes the continuation of existing conditions on the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site as well as development of the related projects described in Section 111.13 (Related Projects) of the EIR. (2) Comparison to Project. Under the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning No Project Alternative, no additional traffic would be generated. The existing uses on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would remain in their present locations and there would be no change in current operations. Traffic generated by these uses would remain unchanged. Aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, geology and soils (except soil erosion impacts), hydrology, land use, noise, population, housing and employment, public service, transportation and traffic, utilities, and cultural resources impacts would be less than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and less than significant. Hazards and hazardous materials impacts of the No Project alternative would be greater than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning because only a portion of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be characterized and remediated. (3) Findings. The City Council rejects this alternative because it does not meet the objectives of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning to reuse and redevelop the site to provide commercial facilities needed by the City of El Segundo. This alternative would not facilitate the productive reuse of a former industrial site. This alternative would not provide improve traffic circulation by providing major road improvements that would provide significant overriding benefits to the community. This alternative would not provide for employment opportunities or generate significant local revenues through business license fees, property taxes and sales taxes. 96 186 b) Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative. (1) Description. Under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative, the standards of the proposed C -4 zone would be modified to limit the mix of land uses permitted within the 70.8 net acre portion of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site that would be redesignated in the General Plan for Commercial Center use and rezoned to Commercial Center (C-4) in order to reduce total traffic generation from the Site. Total permitted square footage within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would remain the same (850,000 total square feet), but the mix of uses would be limited to the following: 590,000 square feet of shopping center, 185,000 square feet of large scale retail, 50,000 square feet of grocery store, 10,000 square feet of fast food restaurants, and 15,000 square feet of sit -down restaurants. Total traffic generation under this alternative would be reduced by approximately 11.7% in the p.m. peak hour and approximately 8.8% on a daily basis. All other components of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning, including the construction of new roadways, relocation of railroad rights -of -way, and stormwater retention basin would remain the same as the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning under this alternative. (2) Comparison to Project. Under this alternative, it is estimated that the development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would generate a total of approximately 25,859 daily trips, 1,033 trips in the a.m. peak hour, 2,346 trips during the p.m. peak hour, and 3,379 trips during the Saturday mid -day peak period. Of the 25 study intersections analyzed, it is anticipated that the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative would significantly impact 13 intersections during the a.m. peak hour, p.m. peak hour, or Saturday mid -day peak, or combinations thereof (see Table VI -1 of the Draft EIR). The same number of impacted intersections and the same specific intersections as identified would be impacted under the alternative as under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project. Therefore, traffic impacts associated with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative would be the same as those associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and would be significant and unavoidable. Air quality would be less than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and less than significant, but would remain significant and unavoidable. Utility impacts related to sewer, water and electricity would be slightly less than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The project - related utility impacts would remain less than significant. Aesthetics, biological resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology, land use, noise, population, housing and employment, public services, utilities (solid waste and natural gas), and cultural resources impacts would be the same as than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The short -term noise and traffic impacts would be significant and unavoidable. (3) Findings. 97 187 The City Council adopts this alternative because it meets the project objectives of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning to reuse and redevelop the site to provide commercial facilities needed by the City of El Segundo described in Chapter II (Page II -14) of the Final EIR while reducing the traffic impacts by a significant amount (11.7% in the p.m. peak period and 8.8% of daily trips).. C) Alternative Land Use Alternative. (1) Description. Under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Alternate Land Use Alternative, the existing zoning of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be modified to allow development of proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site with industrial uses at a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.42:1. This would result in the development of approximately 1,548,000 square feet of industrial park within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site and represents a reduction in the development density permitted under the existing zoning of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. The current zoning would allow a 0.6 FAR (2,211,142 square feet of industrial uses). Roadway extensions through the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be provided, although likely in a different configuration than under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. Storm water detention facilities would be provided that would be sufficient to handle storm water runoff generated under this alternative and railroad rights -of -way would be relocated as necessary. (2) Comparison to Project. Under the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Alternate Land Use Alternative, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be permitted to be developed with up to 1,548,000 square feet of industrial park. Under this alternative, it is estimated that the development on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning site would generate a total of approximately 10,774 daily trips, 1,300 in the a.m. peak hour, 1,331 trips in the p.m. peak hour, and 542 trips during the Saturday mid -day peak hour. This is less traffic than would be produced by the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. However, an increase in the amount of truck traffic in the area is anticipated under this alternative. Under this alternative, 9 intersections would still be significantly impacted during the a.m. peak hour, p.m. peak hour or Saturday mid -day peak hour, or combinations thereof (Table VI -7). This is four less significantly impacted intersections than under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. Therefore, traffic impacts associated with the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning Alternate Land Use Alternative would be less than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project. Air quality impacts would be less than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning, but would remain significant and unavoidable. Operational noise impacts would be slightly less than the Plaza El Segundo development. Public services (police protection) and utility (sewer and water) impacts would be less than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The project - related impacts would remain less than significant. .. Biological resources, geology and soils, land use, construction noise, and cultural resources would be the same as the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The short-term noise and traffic impacts would be significant and unavoidable. Aesthetics, air quality (construction and operational emissions), hydrology, hazards and hazardous materials, population, housing and employment, public services (fire protection), and utility impacts (solid waste, natural gas, and electricity) would be slightly greater than the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning, but would remain as insignificant impacts. The sewer and water usage would increase by negligible amounts. The project - related impacts would remain less than significant. (3) Findings. The City Council rejects this alternative because it does not meet the objectives of the Sepulveda/Rosecrans Site Rezoning to reuse and redevelop the site to provide commercial facilities needed by the City of El Segundo to the same extent as the proposed project. This alternative would not provide improve traffic circulation by providing major road improvements that would provide significant. overriding benefits to the community. This alternative would not provide for employment opportunities or generate significant local revenues through business license fees, property taxes and sales taxes to the same extent as the proposed project. d) Rezoning of Plaza El Segundo Development Site Only. (1) Description. Under this alternative, the City would not take action with respect to the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning project, but rather would approve the General Plan Amendment and rezoning of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site to the new Commercial Center land use designation and Commercial Center (C -4) zone. Uses presently located within the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, but outside the boundary of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would remain the same. No new development is anticipated in this portion of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site because, other than the existing operating uses, there is no known interest in development of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, other than the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. (2) Comparison to Project. Under this alternative, impacts would be the same as identified throughout this EIR for the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. The only difference from the analysis presented in this EIR would relate to land use compatibility. Under the alternative, the uses adjacent to the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would be industrial, rather than ultimately commercial, as would occur under the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. Placing commercial and industrial land uses adjacent to one another would not result in land use conflicts and no impacts related to land use compatibility would occur. Impacts of this alternative would be similar to the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning with respect to land use compatibility and the same as the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development for all other impacts. MOM .. (3) Findings. The City Council rejects this alternative because it does not meet the objectives of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning to reuse and redevelop the site to provide commercial facilities needed by the City of El Segundo to the same extent as the proposed project. This alternative would not provide improve traffic circulation by providing major road improvements that would provide significant overriding benefits to the community because it would not include the extension of Park Place though to Nash Street. This alternative would not provide for employment opportunities or generate significant local revenues through business license fees, property taxes and sales taxes to the same extent as the proposed project. 3. Plaza El Segundo a) No Project Alternative. (1) Description. Under the Plaza El Segundo No Project Alternative, the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site would remain under its current Industrial General Plan designations and zoning classifications. Reasonably foreseeable activities that would occur within the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site under the No Project Alternative would include: 1) characterization and remediation activities that are currently ongoing on a portion of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site would continue under the oversight of the cognizant regulatory agencies; and 2) no new development would occur on the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site. No new development is anticipated because there is no known interest in development of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site, other than the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. The proposed Plaza El Segundo No Project Alternative therefore assumes the continuation of existing conditions on the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site as well as development of the related projects described in Section 111.13 (Related Projects) of the EIR. (2) Comparison to Project. Under the Plaza El Segundo No Project Alternative, no additional traffic would be generated. The existing uses on the Plaza El Segundo site would remain in their present locations and there would be no change in current operations. Traffic generated by these uses would remain unchanged. Aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, geology and soils (except soil erosion impacts), hydrology, hazards and hazardous materials, land use, noise, population, housing and employment, public services, transportation and traffic, utilities, and cultural resources impacts would be less than the proposed Plaza El Segundo site and less than significant. (3) Findings. The City Council rejects this alternative because it does not meet the objectives of the Plaza El Segundo Development to reuse and redevelop the site to provide commercial facilities needed by the City of El Segundo. This alternative would not facilitate the productive reuse of a former industrial site. This alternative would not provide improve traffic circulation by providing major road improvements that would provide significant overriding benefits to the community. This alternative would not 100 190 provide for employment opportunities or generate significant local revenues through business license fees, property taxes and sales taxes. b) Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative. (1) Description. Under the Plaza El Segundo Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative, the Plaza El Segundo site boundaries and total proposed square footage would remain the same (425,000 square feet), but the mix of uses within the proposed Plaza El Segundo would be modified to result in an approximately 17% reduction in p.m. peak hour traffic generation and an approximately 13% reduction in daily traffic generation. The mix of uses that would be contained within the proposed Plaza El Segundo under the Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative would include: 165,000 square feet of shopping center, 185,000 square feet of large scale retail, 50,000 square foot grocery store, 10,000 square feet of fast food restaurants, and 15,000 square feet of sit -down restaurants. The proposed land uses and density would be within the requirements of the proposed C -4 zone. All other components of the proposed Plaza El Segundo, including the construction of new roadways (Park Place east of Sepulveda and Allied Way within the Plaza El Segundo site) and storm water retention basin would remain the same as the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development under this alternative. (2) Comparison to Project. Under the Plaza El Segundo Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative, the size of the proposed development would be the same; however, the mix of uses would be different in order to reduce the amount of traffic generated. Under this alternative, it is estimated that the development on the Plaza El Segundo site would generate a total of approximately 16,645 daily trips, with 779 a.m. peak hour trips, 1,477 p.m. peak hour trips, and 2,205 Saturday mid -day peak period trips. Of the 25 study intersections analyzed, it is anticipated that the Plaza El Segundo Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative would significantly impact six intersections during the a.m. peak hours, p.m. peak hour, Saturday mid -day peak hour, or combinations thereof (see Table VI -14). This is one less impacted intersection than would be impacted under the proposed Plaza El Segundo project. Therefore, traffic impacts associated with the Plaza El Segundo Reduced Traffic Alternative would be less than those under the proposed Plaza El Segundo project. Air quality would be less than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and less than significant, but would remain significant and unavoidable. Operational noise impacts would be slightly less than the Plaza El Segundo development. Utility impacts related to sewer, water and electricity would be slightly less than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The project - related utility impacts would remain less than significant. Aesthetics, biological resources, geology and soils, hydrology, hazards and hazardous materials, land use, construction noise, population, housing and employment, public services, and utility impacts (solid waste and natural gas), and cultural resources would be the same as than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The short -term noise and traffic impacts would be significant and unavoidable. 101 191 (3) Findings. The City Council adopts this alternative since it meets all of the project objectives described in Chapter II (Page II -14) of the Final EIR while reducing the traffic impacts by a significant amount (17% in p.m. peak period and 13% of daily trips). C) Alternative Land Use Alternative. (1) Description. Under the Plaza El Segundo Alternate Land Use Alternative, the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site would be developed with industrial uses at a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.42:1. This would result in the development of an approximately 730,000 square foot industrial park within the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site. Roadway extensions through the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development site would be provided, although likely in a different configuration than under the proposed Plaza El Segundo. Storm water detention facilities would be provided that would be sufficient to handle storm water runoff generated under this alternative. (2) Comparison to Project. Under the Plaza El Segundo Alternate Land Use Alternative, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site would be developed with up to 730,000 square feet of industrial park uses. Under this alternative, it is estimated that the development would generate approximately 5,081 daily trips, 613 a.m. peak hour trips, 628 p.m. peak hour trips, and 256 Saturday mid -day peak period trips. This is less traffic than would be produced under the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development, although truck traffic would increase under this Alternative. However, under this alternative, three intersections would be significantly impacted during the a.m. peak hour, p.m. peak hour, Saturday mid -day peak hour, or combination thereof (Table VI -21). This is four fewer than would be significantly impacted under the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. Therefore, traffic impacts associated with the Plaza El Segundo Alternate Land Use Alternative would be lower than the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. Air quality impacts would be less than the proposed Plaza El Segundo development, but would remain significant and unavoidable. Operational noise and public services (police), utility (sewer, water and electricity) impacts would be lower than the Plaza El Segundo development. Geology and soils, land use, and cultural resources would be the same as than the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. Aesthetics, air quality (short -term construction emissions), biological resources, hydrology, hazards and hazardous materials, short -term construction • noise, population, housing and employment, public services (fire), utility (solid waste and natural gas) impacts would be greater than the Plaza El Segundo development, but would remain as insignificant impacts. (3) Findings. The City Council rejects this alternative because it does not meet the objectives of the Plaza El Segundo Development to reuse and redevelop the site to provide commercial facilities needed by the City of El Segundo to the same extent as the 102 192 proposed project. This alternative would not provide improve traffic circulation by providing major road improvements that would provide significant overriding benefits to the community. This alternative would not provide for employment opportunities or generate significant local revenues through business license fees, property taxes and sales taxes to the same extent as the proposed project. d) Rezoning of Plaza El Segundo Development Site Only (1) Description. There is no equivalent alternative for the Plaza El Segundo site because this alternative would approve only the Plaza El Segundo portion of the Sepulveda Rosecrans Site Rezoning. (2) Comparison to Project. There is no equivalent alternative for the Plaza El Segundo site because this alternative would approve only the Plaza El Segundo portion of the Sepulveda Rosecrans Site Rezoning so no comparison is necessary. (3) Findings. There is no equivalent alternative for the Plaza El Segundo site because this alternative would approve only the Plaza El Segundo portion of the Sepulveda Rosecrans Site Rezoning so no findings are necessary. 4. Findings Regarding Alternatives. a) Reasonable Range of Alternatives. The City Council finds that that (a) the FEIR describes a reasonable range of alternatives to the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development, which could feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development and would avoid or substantially lessen any significant effects of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development; and (b) the City Council evaluated the comparative merits of the alternatives. b) Environmentally Superior Alternative. CEQA Guidelines § 15126.6 requires that an analysis of alternatives to the Project identify one alternative as the environmentally superior alternative. Furthermore, if the environmentally superior alternative is the "No Project" alternative, the EIR must also identify the environmentally superior alternative from among the other alternatives. Sepulveda Rosecrans Site Rezoning The No Project Alternative would be environmentally superior to the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning, as it would avoid the significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning related to traffic, construction and operational air emissions and construction noise. However, the No Project Alternative would not meet any of the objectives of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. 103 193 The Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative would be environmentally superior to the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning as it would reduce the traffic impacts of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and reduce significant and unavoidable operational air emissions compared to the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning, although not to less than significant levels. The Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative would meet most of the objectives of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The Rezoning of Plaza El Segundo Development Site Alternative would be environmentally superior to the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning as it would constitute a reduced project (425,000 total square feet) compared to the full buildout of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning (850,000 square feet). As such, impacts of this alternative would be lower with respect to all issue areas since the alternative would be smaller and would utilize less site area than would the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The Rezoning of Plaza El Segundo Development Site Alternative would not meet the objectives of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning, but would meet the objectives of the Plaza El Segundo Development. Therefore, the Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative would be the environmentally superior alternative because it would reduce impacts compared to the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and meets most of the project objectives. Plaza El Segundo The No Project Alternative would be environmentally superior to the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development, as it would avoid the significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development related to traffic, construction and operational air emissions and construction noise. However, the No Project Alternative would not meet any of the objectives of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. The Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative would be environmentally superior to the proposed Plaza EI Segundo Development as it would reduce the traffic impacts of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development and reduce significant and unavoidable operational air emissions compared to the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development, although not to less than significant levels. The Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative would meet most of the objectives of the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development. The City Council has determined to adopt the Environmentally Superior Alternative, in substantially the same form as analyzed in the Final EIR, rather than the project as proposed. III. GROWTH- INDUCING IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED ACTION AND SIGNIFICANT IRREVERSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES. The City Council finds on the basis of the FEIR and the record of proceedings for the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative that: A. Growth Inducing Impacts Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would foster economic growth by adding new employees and customers to the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site, who could, 104 194 in turn, patronize other local businesses and services in the area. Additionally, as described in Section IV.J (Population, Housing & Employment), short -term employment opportunities would be provided during the construction of developments on the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. With the full implementation of the site rezoning, the developments would provide employment for approximately 1,904 persons. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning does not include housing and therefore would not include (direct) permanent population growth. Should the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning cause newly - generated employees to relocate to the City of El Segundo or the surrounding community, it is expected that the maximum (worst - case) housing demand generated by the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning could be accommodated by the existing housing stock within the average 9.7 -mile commute distance from the project site, without generating demand for new housing construction. Therefore, no significant population, housing or employment impacts would be created by the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. The project site is located within a highly developed urban setting. Off -site water mains, sewer mains, storm drains, and utility infrastructure adjacent to the site would adequately service the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning. Further, with mitigation, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would be adequately served by existing public services such as fire /emergency and police in the vicinity of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Rezoning Site. The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would not induce growth in an area that is not already developed with infrastructure to accommodate such growth. Therefore, the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would not result in significant growth inducing impacts. Plaza El Segundo As described in Section IV.J (Population, Housing & Employment), short-term employment opportunities would be provided during the construction of the Plaza El Segundo. Upon completion of the Plaza El Segundo, it would provide employment for approximately 952 persons. The Plaza El Segundo Development does not include housing and therefore would not include (direct) permanent population growth. Should the Plaza El Segundo Development cause newly - generated employees to relocate to the City of El Segundo or the surrounding community, it is expected that the housing demand could be accommodated by the existing housing stock within the average 9.7 -mile commute distance. Therefore, no significant population, housing or employment impacts would be created by the Plaza El Segundo Development. The Plaza El Segundo site is located within a highly developed urban setting. Off -site water mains, sewer mains, storm drains, and utility infrastructure adjacent to the site would adequately service the Plaza El Segundo. Further, with mitigation, the Plaza El Segundo Development would be adequately served by existing public services such as fire /emergency and police. The Plaza El Segundo Development would not induce growth in an area that is not already developed with infrastructure to accommodate such growth. Therefore, the Plaza EI Segundo Development would not result in significant growth inducing impacts. B. Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes. Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning The type and level of construction associated with the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would consume limited, slowly renewable, and non- renewable resources. Such resources would include the following construction supplies: lumber and other forest products; aggregate materials used in concrete and asphalt such as sand, gravel, and stone; metals such as steel, copper, and lead; petrochemical construction materials 105 1 9 5 such as plastics; and water. Fossil fuels such as gasoline and oil would also be consumed in the use of construction vehicles and equipment. Subsequent use and maintenance of the proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would also require the long -term consumption of these nonrenewable resources at reduced levels typical for commercial development. These would include energy resources such as electricity and natural gas, as well as petroleum -based fuels required for the increased number of vehicle trips to be generated by the project. The proposed Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning would add traffic to local roads, and would result in long -term increases in ambient air pollution and noise levels. Potential irreversible damage from environmental accidents associated with the project are unlikely and would be avoided by compliance with the mitigation measures proposed in this EIR as well as existing city, county, state, and federal safety regulations. Plaza El Segundo Similar to that discussed above, the proposed Plaza El Segundo Development would consume limited, slowly renewable, and non - renewable resources during construction. Such resources would include the following construction supplies: lumber and other forest products; aggregate materials used in concrete and asphalt such as sand, gravel, and stone; metals such as steel, copper, and lead; petrochemical construction materials such as plastics; and water. Fossil fuels such as gasoline and oil would also be consumed in the use of construction vehicles and equipment. Subsequent use and maintenance of the proposed Plaza El Segundo would also require the long -term consumption of these nonrenewable resources. These would include energy resources such as electricity and natural gas, as well as petroleum - based fuels required for the increased number of vehicle trips to be generated by the Plaza El Segundo. The proposed Plaza El Segundo would add traffic to local roads, and would result in long -term increases in ambient air pollution and noise levels. Potential irreversible damage from environmental accidents associated with the project are unlikely and would be avoided by compliance with the mitigation measures proposed in this EIR as well as existing city, county, state, and federal safety regulations. IV. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS. The City Council finds on the basis of the FEIR and the record of proceedings in this matter that the unavoidable significant impacts of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative are acceptable when balanced against the benefits of the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative. This determination is based on the following factors and the substantial public, social, economic, and environmental benefits flowing from the Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative as identified in the FEIR and the record of proceedings in the matter. Each benefit set forth below constitutes an overriding consideration warranting approval of each project, independent of other benefits, despite each and every avoidable impact. (a) Development of a property that is substantially vacant and is currently underutilized. (b) The project would facilitate the environmental remediation of existing subsurface soil and groundwater contamination on and around the property associated with the previous use of the project site. 196 106 (c) Re- designation and rezoning of industrial property for more productive commercial uses. (d) Elimination of blighted areas and providing an attractive urban destination. (e) Increasing and further stabilizing the City's tax base through development of new commercial businesses.

(g) Increase in employment opportunities for the City's residents. (h) The Plaza El Segundo Development will add to the diversification of the economic base in the City by providing for new larger format retail uses that do not currently exist in the City. (i) The development will provide significant fiscal benefit to the City by generating additional business license and sales tax revenue for the City's General Fund. Q) The development will Increase City revenues through the generation of taxes that outweigh the City's cost of services. (k) The Plaza El Segundo Development will generate an annual net fiscal benefit (revenues versus City expenses) that would range from approximately $1.082,049 to $1,611,424 in the first year of operation, rising to a range of approximately $1,307,922 to $1,958,987 in the eighth year of operation. (1) The Sepulveda /Rosecrans Site Rezoning is immediately adjacent to the 2,000,000 square -foot Continental Park office development, the 2,000,000 square -foot Raytheon campus, and other office buildings along the Rosecrans Avenue commercial corridor. The proposed project will provide additional retail uses and services to these employment centers. (m) Development of a project that is consistent with the Elements of the General Plan. (n) The project would provide a comprehensive and coordinated design of the entire project site, including landscape amenities to substantially improve the aesthetic appearance of the site and the surrounding area. (o) The project would reduce the maximum permitted floor area ratio on the property from 0.6:1 to 0.275:1. (p) Funding on -site and off -site Circulation Element planned improvements, including new and widened roadways, intersections, signals, medians and landscaping in the project vicinity at no cost to the City. (q) The Project will include the construction of two new roadways (Park Place and Allied Way extensions) that will further the City's goal of implementing 107 1'97 the 2004 Circulation Element Master Plan of Streets and improving the circulation system in the southeast quadrant of the City.

The developer will dedicate property for the lane widening providing a public benefit to the entire City. (s) Expansion of the planned ITS network that will increase its effectiveness in relieving congestion. (t) Contribution of $1,500,000 to the City aquatic related recreational uses. (u) Contribution of approximately $250,000 to enhance, promote and maintain the public improvements adjacent to businesses and property owners in the Downtown Specific Plan area of El Segundo. (v) Contribution of approximately $250,000 in traffic impact mitigation fees to offset the impacts of the project on public roadway infrastructure. (w) Contribution of approximately $119,000 in police, fire, and library, mitigation fees to offset the impacts of the project on public services. (x) A development agreement, including all of the consideration and benefits received by the City thereunder, which provides the City with certainty respecting the development process, including but not limited to the potential uses that will be developed on the property. V. RECIRCULATION. A. Facts. 1. The City received comments on the DEIR from members of the public and from public agencies in both written and oral form. The FEIR contains written responses to all comments ( "Responses to Comments ") received on the DEIR as of December 15, 2005. Some comments were incorporated into the FEIR as factual corrections and minor changes. The FOR includes all factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR. All comments and testimony received prior to and at the City Council's public hearing have been considered. B. Findin . Pursuant to CEQA Guideline § 15088.5 and Public Resources Code § 21092.1, and based on the FEIR and the record of proceedings in for the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development, the City Council finds that: 1. Factual corrections and minor changes are set forth as additions and corrections to the DEIR; and 2. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR are not substantial changes in the DEIR that would deprive the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment on a substantial adverse environmental effect of the 108 19 Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development, a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect, or a feasible Project alternative; and 3. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR will not result in new significant environmental effects or substantially increase the severity of the significant effects previously disclosed in the DEIR; and 4. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR will not involve mitigation measures r alternatives considerably analyzed In the DEI Rtould substantially reduce one o more significant effects on the environment; and 5. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR do not render the DEIR so fundamentally inadequate would be precluded. usory in nature that meaningful public review and comment Thus, the City Council finds that none of the conditions set forth in CEQA Guideline § 15088.5 or Public Resources Code § 21092.1 requiring recirculation of a draft environmental incorp ration of the factual impact report were met. The City Council into the FEIRddoes not require �e that the FEIR to be corrections and minor changes to the D EIR recirculated for public comment. VI. SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. The City Council finds and declares that substantial evidence for each and every finding made herein is contained in the FEIR, which is incorporated herein by this reference, and in the record of proceedings in the matter.

The City's existing Housing Element was last revised and adopted in August 2001 and was effective for the planning period from 2000 to 2005. The next Housing Element review cycle has begun. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) established the planning period for the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) which will run from January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2014. Originally the planning period ran from July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2014 but it was reduced by six months (eliminating the last 6 months of 2005) by HCD, shortening the planning period from 9 years to 8' /s years. The last assessment covered the period from January 1998 through June 2005. The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has scheduled a hearing to adopt the RHNA by July 12, 2007 and the Housing Element must be adopted and certified by HCD by June 30, 2008 (see attached timeline in Exhibit A). As part of the review and revision of the Housing Element, State law requires that jurisdictions provide their "fair share" of regional housing needs. Local governments and Councils of Government (COGs) are charged with determining existing and future housing need, and the allocation must be approved by HCD. El Segundo is a member of the Southern California Council of Governments (SCAG). SCAG comprises a six - county territory representing Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and Imperial County that includes 163 member cities and 24 non - member cities. SCAG is responsible for preparing the Regional Housing Needs Assessment for the six - county territory that it represents. SCAG developed a Pilot Project to change the RHNA process and methodology to link housing to transportation. The SCAG Pilot Project also includes a streamlined RHNA appeals process to allow only one round of appeals rather than the multiple appeals process under existing law. It would also allow local jurisdictions to take "credits" for actual construction activities in the 3 -year gap period (2005 - 2008) that are above the growth forecasted for that period, and apply those credits to the housing needs forecasted for the period between 2008 and 2014. In order to make these changes it requires changes to the State Planning and Zoning Laws relating to Housing Elements. SB 12 which was sponsored by SCAG and authored by Senator Lowenthal was introduced as an urgency bill which addressed these changes. SB 12 was adopted by the State Legislature and the bill was signed into law by Governor Schwarzenegger on April 10, 2007. SCAG's initial draft allocation for El Segundo, adopted by SCAG at its February 1, 2007 meeting, was a total of 219 units. Planning and Building Safety staff prepared a letter of protest requesting a reduction in the total number of units allocated to El Segundo based upon certain AB 2158 factors. SCAG granted a reduction in the total number of units of approximately 25% to 168 total units in the final draft allocation. No further changes to the proposed number of housing units occurred through the appeals and revision processes that concluded in May 2007. The 168 housing units for El Segundo are out of the anticipated total regional construction need of 732,710 housing units (13,763 of which are in the South Bay Cities) in the SCAG Region from 2005 to 2014. The allocation of 168 housing units for El Segundo is broken down into the four categories as follows: 44 very 201 STAFF REPORT: July 17, 2007 PAGE 3 BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: (cont.) low income households, 27 low income households, 28 moderate income households, and 69 above moderate income households. The numbers for these categories are determined as a percentage of the total allocation with a 110% adjustment toward the county distribution to decrease the new allocated housing need in areas that already have a high concentration of lower income households. With the approval of SB 12 that allows for the SCAG Pilot Program, the City has 25 units for the second half of 2005 and 13 units for 2006, totaling 38 units that will be credited toward the above moderate income requirements for the 2008 -2014 planning period. Budget The Housing Element is part of the Planning Division work program for 2006 -2007 as adopted by Council in the 2006 -2007 budget. Council budgeted $25,000 for 2006 -2007 with an additional $25,000 anticipated for 2007 -2008 for a total of $50,000 to complete the project. Planning and Building Safety staff recommends that the Council approve the entire budget now in Fiscal Year 2006 -2007 with no additional request anticipated in Fiscal Year 2007 -2008 so that the contract need not be amended in Fiscal Year 2007 -2008. Planning and Building Safety proposes a budget of $58,500 based upon the budgets in the responses to the Request For Proposal and the need for an additional 10% contingency budget if more extensive coordination and negotiation with the Department of Housing and Community Development is necessary to obtain certification of the Housing Element. Housing Element Request for Proposal and Statement of Qualifications Planning and Building Safety staff prepared an RFP regarding the preparation of the Housing Element and the associated environmental review for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and distributed it to 9 planning and environmental consultant firms (see attached list). Two firms responded to the RFP: Willdan and Hogle- Ireland. The other firms responded that they could not take the project on at this time. Consultant Selection and Recommendation Both Willdan and Hogle- Ireland are highly qualified firms with staff that has extensive experience preparing Housing Elements. Planning and Building Safety staff interviewed both firms and conducted reference checks. Willdan's proposed budget is $53,175 and Hogle- Ireland's proposed budget is $71,590. Planning and Building Safety staff believes that Willdan can complete the Housing Element within the proposed budget with a 10% contingency for any additional meetings and coordination and negotiation with the Department of Housing and Community Development. Planning and Building Safety staff recommends that the City Council approve a budget amendment of $33,500 and a budget appropriation of $58,500 for Fiscal Year 2006/2007 for planning and environmental consultant services to prepare an update of the Housing Element and to authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Willdan in the amount of $58,500.

This proposal is being submitted pursuant to your request and is based on our extensive experience in preparing and updating housing elements. We believe that the project team we have assembled is particularly well qualified to assist you in preparing the Housing Element Update for the following reasons: The personnel assembled for this assignment have considerable experience in preparing housing elements and housing element updates for cities across California. Willdan has most recently prepared Housing Element updates for the Cities of Calexico, Calimesa, La Habra, La Mirada, La Puente, Los Alamitos, Simi Valley, and Westlake Village, and the Town of Apple Valley that have been certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Our team will be sensitive to the need to prepare a housing element that addresses the regional housing needs allocation, as well as local housing needs and conditions. Both of the key planners assigned to the project, Mr. Albert V. Warot and Mr. Dean C. Sherer, AICP, have had extensive experience in preparing housing element updates and have conducted negotiations on behalf of client agencies with HCD. • Our staff is able to place an emphasis on realistic, implementable housing programs. Our team has formulated and, more importantly, carried out a wide variety of housing programs using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Building Equity and Growth In Neighborhoods (BEGIN), Tax Credit, Section 8, Redevelopment Agency, CalHome, and other funding sources. The project team assembled by Willdan, consisting entirely of in -house staff, is prepared to commence work on July 1, 2007 in providing the services requested by the City, and complete the preparation, adoption, and submittal of the updated element to HCD by May 31, 2008. 213 June 15, 2007 Page 2 The City's current Housing Element was adopted in 2001 and the City produced 151 total housing units (193 %) of its overall Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) target by 2005. As indicated in the City's Request for Proposal (RFP), the draft RHNA allocation for the City of El Segundo for the 2008 -2014 planning period is 168 total housing units. While it is true that the City has progressively provided for the housing needs of its citizens in the past, this new housing obligation will represent a further challenge to the City to provide housing at various levels of affordability in an area which is largely built out. The Housing Element, therefore, needs to respond to this challenge by providing more creative and unique ways to increase the community's housing supply without undermining the quality and livability of residential districts in the City. Working as an extension of City staff, Willdan will review the current Housing Element, revise population and demographic data, and analyze constraints to housing development. Willdan will also incorporate into the revised Housing Element the housing needs determination for El Segundo generated by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). We will also consult with HCD to ensure that the City receives credit for all new housing constructed within the City since 2006, which is the starting date of the period covered by the new housing needs allocation. In addition, Willdan will research City records for past planning approvals and building permits which have contributed to the City's production of housing, while also examining current applications for their potential impact on the local housing supply. Willdan will also analyze the City's inventory of vacant/underutilized land to determine the availability of potential sites suitable for housing development, and assist the City in revising its housing goals, objectives, and policies to respond to current conditions and applicable legislative requirements. We believe that the services we are offering will fulfill the City's needs in a comprehensive, well - integrated, and cost - effective manner. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and stand ready to proceed with the services requested upon your authorization. The contact person for this proposal is: Mr. Albert V.

Description of Work It is our understanding that the City of El Segundo is seeking the services of a consultant to serve as an extension of City staff in updating the Housing Element of its General Plan. X WILLDAN SMinp Pubic i.y!rcies 215 AfflMblh CITY OF EL SEGUNDO HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE The updated element must comply with the applicable requirements of the California Government Code, Health and Safety Code, and General Plan Guidelines, and ultimately be certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) as complying with State housing law. The key elements of the work involved in updating the Housing Element include: • compilation, research, and analysis of population and housing data to determine housing needs; • preparation of a draft element that documents the identified needs, as well as the resources and anticipated actions to address those needs; • preparation of property owner lists and labels as well as notices (including display ads) for public hearings and workshops; • preparation of documentation to clear the updated element under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); • preparation of staff reports and exhibits for Planning Commission and City Council public hearings, and public workshops; • attendance at Planning Commission /City Council meetings to obtain their input and approval of the updated element; • coordinating the review and negotiating the certification of the updated element with HCD; and, • coordinating the successful completion of all of the above work items with El Segundo City staff. Staff will be available to immediately begin work on this assignment by mid -July 2007. The work program would be carried out over a 10'/ -month period, thereby enabling the City to submit the adopted, updated element to HCD by June 1, 2008. All work on the Housing Element Update will be performed at Willdan's Los Angeles Regional office, which is conveniently located in the City of Industry. A more complete project schedule is discussed under "Project Schedule." We will rely upon input and assistance from City staff in order to minimize our costs recognizing, however, that your availability is limited. In this regard, staff involvement would be limited to: providing previously prepared reports and other readily available information that could assist in updating the Housing Element, such as the City's land use inventory, zoning map and ordinance, General Plan, and Local Coastal Program; SWILLDA�N 2 216 MOM CITY OF EL SEGUNDO ZRFA HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE : 2. furnishing a digitized City base map and accompanying parcel (i.e., Assessor's office) information in a Geographic Information System (GIS) format; 3. scheduling public meetings /hearings; 4. conferring with our staff on the drafting of policy statements; and, 5. reviewing and commenting on draft reports in a timely fashion. SWILLDA�N 3 217 � o RELEVANT EXPERIENCE CITY OF EL SEGUNDO HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE Willdan has considerable experience in performing a wide -range of housing and community development related work for California cities, ranging from Susanville on the north to Calexico on the south. We have direct experience in identifying and analyzing potential housing sites, assessing local housing needs, and updating a number of housing elements. We have also had recent experience in conducting surveys and analyses of existing housing needs and conditions and quantifying changes in housing quality and affordability. The cities we have served have varied widely in terms of size, geographic locale, and local housing issues. Over the past 15 years, the firm has conducted surveys and analyses in support of housing element updates and /or prepared updated housing elements for numerous California cities, including most recently the Cities of Calimesa, Chino, Clearlake, Orinda, Oroville, Simi Valley, and Westlake Village. These surveys have included preparing detailed inventories of multiple family projects, including market -rate housing, Section 8 housing, and other government- owned, or subsidized housing. Willdan has also researched and prepared housing implementation strategies to assist communities in meeting their quantified housing element objectives and community goals for desired types of housing. In addition to our experience in conducting housing studies, Willdan has extensive experience in preparing a variety of GIS -based community needs studies and providing a variety of community development services to agencies across California. We have administered all aspects of the CDBG and HOME programs for municipalities and are operating CDBG or redevelopment tax increment funded residential and /or commercial rehabilitation programs in a number of cities. Our community development staff has procured grants for residential rehabilitation, economic development and public works /community facility projects and has formulated and /or implemented revitalization strategies for downtown areas in small communities. A matrix that summarizes the experience of our firm in updating housing elements, preparing consolidated plans, and conducting housing studies and community needs surveys and assessments is presented on the pages that follow.

Each project is assigned to a senior member of our staff who leads a multidisciplined team assembled from our technical staff. Experience in the type of job, knowledge of the study area, and availability to support the required schedule are primary considerations in the selection of a project manager, as well as the selection of the supporting team members. Based on the anticipated work effort, we have assembled a team comprised of the following personnel: The project team to be assigned to the City of El Segundo consists entirely of Willdan personnel. The work schedules and availability of these team members will allow for the completion of a draft document within the stipulated timeframe. The number of hours assigned to each project team member to complete each task of the proposed work plan are included in the "Fee Schedule." Typically, however, each task may take from 8 to 32 hours to complete, with time distributed among two Senior Planners (Carter and Bellas), an Assistant Planner (Holliday), and a Principal Planner (Sherer). Time devoted to the project by the Manager of Planning Services (Warot) is primarily for the review of and input on the City's housing programs and quantified objectives, coordination with HCD, and attendance at City staff meetings, community workshops and Planning Commission /City Council meetings /hearings. Ms. Trayci Nelson, Senior Planner, who is currently assisting the City with project entitlement review services, and will be available to help coordinate the preparation of the Housing Element between the City and Willdan staff. This will be accomplished without any discontinuation of her existing services being provided to the City and would not result in an increase in budgeted hours for her services.

Our team would serve as an extension of City staff in updating the element while minimizing demands on City staff. The tasks to be performed in updating the El Segundo Housing Element are outlined below. The deliverable products associated with each task have also been identified. Task 1 Update Population and Housing Characteristics The population and housing characteristics presented in the current Housing Element will need to be updated to reflect current conditions. This will be accomplished through the use of current information available from various sources regarding the population and housing stock within the City of El Segundo (e.g., the California Department of Housing and Community Development, the California Department of Finance, the California Association of Realtors, Data Quick, and the Los Angeles Times). Deliverable: ✓ Updated Community Profile (Existing Conditions) section of element. Task 2 - Assess Past Housing Achievements Within this mandatory section of the element, the appropriateness of the City's housing goals will be examined. The progress that the City has made in implementing the current element will be evaluated by stating accomplishments over the prior 1998 -2005 planning period. Accomplishments will be documented for rehabilitation, conservation /maintenance, and new construction (production). With regard to housing production, it is our understanding that the City produced 151 total units or 193% of its overall Regional Housing Needs (RHNA) target by 2005. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Progress Toward Achieving Goals section of element. Task 3 - Prepare Inventory of Potential Housina Sites An updated inventory of potential housing sites will be prepared. We will further determine the appropriateness of these sites, particularly in terms of the type and density of housing to be developed. All vacant land (regardless of its zoning) and underutilized sites will be analyzed for their potential to support new housing construction. The number and type of units that could be constructed on each site deemed suitable for residential development will be identified based on zoning and WlLLDAN ' � 3 4 CITY OF EL SEGUNDO HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE General Plan designations. A map showing the locations of the sites will be prepared, along with an accompanying table of site characteristics. Willdan would generate the potential site inventory in a computerized format, using the City's existing Geographic Information System (GIS). Deliverable: ✓ Updated Analysis of Potential Housing Sites section of element. Task 4 - Update Housing Needs Analysis The housing needs analysis contained in the current Housing Element will be updated. Our staff will consider population and employment trends in updating this analysis and incorporate the 2008 -2014 housing needs estimates for El Segundo generated by the Southern California Association of Governments. The "special needs" discussion that addresses the needs of the elderly, homeless, disabled, and other segments of the population will also be updated. Additionally, the presence of any at -risk housing units in the City will be examined. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Housing Needs section of element. Task 5 - Reexamine Constraints The discussion of constraints on the production, maintenance, and affordability of housing will be updated to reflect current conditions. Our task will be to identify those constraints that may have been eliminated, as well as new ones that may have arisen since the City's current element was last updated in 2001. Both governmental and non- governmental factors that affect the availability and cost of housing will be examined to determine whether they represent actual or potential constraints, if either. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Constraints section of element. Task 6 - Reexamine Housing Programs As the initial effort under this task, the housing goals, objectives and policies contained in the current (2001) General Plan will be reevaluated to determine their continued relevancy. Since these policy statements give direction to the City's housing programs, it is important to determine if they are still indicative of the community's needs and attitudes. In conducting this re- evaluation, it is equally important to recognize the role that El Segundo plays in the context of the Airport/South Bay subregion. The City has become a major employment center in this subregion. The City provides employment WILLDAN 2 ri,mn Pl,t G Aji noes 235 CITY OF EL SEGUNDO AgahL HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE opportunities for residents of many of the surrounding communities as borne out by the fact that its permanent population of approximately 16,000 swells to t 75,000 persons during daytime, business hours. Moreover, unlike its once predominately blue collar, working class roots, the majority of jobs within the City today are white collar, professional positions. After reevaluating these policy statements, the implementation measures discussed in the current element will be reexamined to determine their effectiveness in addressing the City's housing policies. Certain measures discussed in the element may need to be deleted since they have been carried out, or are no longer available. On the other hand, new measures which have not heretofore been utilized by the City may also need to be considered. The measures to be included in the updated element will address: the identification of adequate sites with appropriate zoning, development standards and public services and facilities to achieve the stated housing goals and objectives; • the adequate provision of housing for all economic segments of the community; • the removal of governmental and non - governmental constraints, where possible; • the conservation and improvement of the City's existing affordable housing stock, including the preservation or replacement of any at -risk housing; and, • the continued accessibility to decent housing for all persons. Finally, the City's 5 -year Housing Action Plan will be updated. The Plan will be extended to cover the coming planning period (2008 -2014) and revised to reflect the new mix of measures previously determined in this task. Anticipated accomplishments will be quantified and actions will be programmed in order to facilitate their implementation. The agency responsible for carrying out each action, as well as the associated time frame and potential funding source(s) will be identified. The priorities for allocating the City's limited resources will also be identified. In addressing the identification of adequate sites with appropriate zoning and development standards, Willdan will recommend any Land Use Element amendments, rezonings, or other zoning ordinance revisions that may be required in order to achieve the City's anticipated housing accomplishments and /or comply with State planning and zoning laws, including housing element law. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Housing Program section of element. W l LLDAN 3 236 CITY OF EL SEGUNDO HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE Task 7 Reexamine Opportunities for Energy Conservation in New Residential Develo_ pment In this final task, ways in which energy consumption can be minimized through the siting, design, and construction of housing will be examined. The energy conservation measures identified in the current element will be modified or expanded, as necessary. In carrying out this task, the pertinent requirements of the California Government and Administrative Codes, the energy conservation programs offered by local utility companies, and other measures or programs that could be initiated by the City will be discussed. Deliverable: ✓ Updated Opportunities for Energy Conservation section of element. Task 8 — Prepare Environmental Initial Study Checklist/Negative Declaration Willdan will prepare an Administrative Draft Initial Study /Negative Declaration (IS /ND) for the Housing Element update for City staff review. Much of the information to be included in this IS /ND will be taken from the City's General Plan EIR and other available sources.

The purpose of this meeting will be to obtain a copy of the City's current General Plan, Zoning Map, any available land use /vacant land data, and GIS mapping file(s) and accompanying parcel information database. The outline and format for the updated element will also be finalized at that meeting. The tasks associated with updating the element would be carried out over the course of 101/2 months. The tentative time schedule is graphically depicted on the following page. Once the administrative draft of the document is completed, our Project Manager will meet with City staff to obtain and review their comments. A public review document will subsequently be prepared for public distribution and comment. In addition to three (3) public hearings, we have included attendance at Planning Commission and City Council study sessions, and a community workshop during the review and processing of the draft and final documents. We propose that attendance at any additional public meetings be billed to the City on a per meeting basis. Willdan will prepare the final element in response to comments received from the public, local decision - making bodies, and HCD and, as discussed above, will attend the required public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. It should also be pointed out that our schedule allows for Planning Commission /City Council review and preliminary approval of the updated element prior to submittal to HCD for its 60 -day review. Our schedule also allows time for our staff to solicit written confirmation from HCD, prior to Planning Commission and City Council hearings, that the final element is certifiable as complying with State law. 717WILLIDAN 24 4 Serving Pub0c Agencies W J W 2 U cn W 0 za wI.- yz UJ w uuj LL J OW _H O Z U O 2 O w W It � Q a T J M T Z .

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION: Merchants on Richmond Street south of Grand Avenue recently requested City assistance to increase the efficiency of existing parking in the vicinity of the intersection of Richmond Street and Franklin Avenue. Upon reviewing the area, two measures were identified to increase lunch -time parking and to enhance parking turn -over as follows: 1. Change Street Sweeping Hours to Avoid Lunch Period - Presently, Franklin Street from Main Street to Concord Street is posted No Parking 10 A.M. to 12 Noon on Tuesdays. This restriction affects lunch -time parking on Tuesdays. It is recommended that this portion of Franklin be swept on Wednesday 8 A.M. to 10 A.M. to avoid lunch - hour traffic.

Increase Number of 2-Hour Parking Spots in the City Lot at Corner of Franklin Avenue and Richmond Street - Presently 10 of the 52 spaces in the City lot are restricted to 2 -hour parking 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. The remainder of the spaces are limited to 72 -hour except for trailers and commercial vehicles and recreational vehicles which are addressed by contradictory signage both prohibiting them and limited them to a 5 -hour period. It is proposed that the 2 -hour parking restrictions be expanded to encompass 41 of the 52 spaces leaving the northernmost aisle as 72 -hour parking. It is also proposed that commercial and recreational vehicles be prohibited from parking in the lot. This action will create more daytime parking turn -over while still providing overnight parking for residents. Staff monitored the lot on a workday morning 9 A.M. to 10 A.M. and found the lot about 75% occupied. Due to limited commercial activity at that time of day, it can be deduced that those parking in the lot at that time are either residents or, more likely, employees of nearby businesses. Employees needing to park for more than 2 hours will need to park elsewhere if these recommendations are implements. The recommended Resolution (attached) will accomplish the modification of street sweeping hours on Franklin Street. 211� X48 RESOLUTION NO.
