Resolution entitled "A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR PAYING IN -LIEU FEES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EL SEGUNDO DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN" FISCAL IMPACT: None Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A ORIGINATED BY: Karl H. Berger, Assista` Attorney REVIEWED BY: APPROVED BY: Mark D. Hensley, City A orne On May 20, 2009, the City Council considered and voted to adopt a resolution establishing payment procedures for the in -lieu fee payments within the Downtown Specific Plan. Through inadvertence, the title was incorrectly read into the record. In an abundance of caution, we recommend that the Resolution be again adopted by the City Council to avoid any ambiguity. RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR PAYING IN -LIEU FEES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EL SEGUNDO DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN. BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of El Segundo as follows: SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows: A. This Resolution is adopted in accord with the El Segundo Downtown Specific Plan ( "DSP ") and the El Segundo Municipal Code ( ,,SPMC ") for the purpose of establishing criteria to permit persons to repay in -lieu parking fees over a period of time; B. In 2003 and 2004, the City Council established an in -lieu parking fee to allow businesses within the DSP to pay the City a fee rather than construct new parking; C. The City Council recognized at that time that the unique circumstances of the City's downtown, e.g., the number of non- conforming small lots, makes it difficult for businesses to expand since the ability to provide adequate parking is limited by available acerage; D. Since that time, the City Council became aware that some property owners were reluctant to pay a lump sum in -lieu fee to the City and preferred to pay such fee over a period of time. This reluctance, and the inability to physically construct parking places on or near businesses within the downtown, prevented businesses from expanding within the DSP; and E. This Resolution relies upon the documentary and testimonial evidence submitted to the City during the public hearing held on May 20, 2009 in addition to such additional information that may be in the administrative record. SECTION 2: Payment Plans — Authorized. Pursuant to the DSP and subject to this Resolution, the City Council authorizes the City Manager or Planning and Building Safety Director (collectively, "Administrator") to allow persons seeking to pay an in -lieu fee to the City over a period of time ( "Payment Plan "). The Administrator is authorized to promulgate administrative policies and procedures ( "AP &P ") to implement the purpose of this Resolution. SECTION 3: Payment Plan — Minimum Requirements. Payment Plans authorized by this Resolution must, at a minimum, meet the following criteria: A. The term for repayment cannot exceed twenty (20) years from the date the City issues a final certificate of occupancy for a facility; B. The debtor must enter into a repayment agreement with the City; execute a promissory note in favor of the City; execute a deed of trust in favor of the City to secure the promissory note; if required by the Administrator, upon recommendation by the City Attorney, record a covenant against the real property subject to parking requirements under the DSP; and take such additional action as may be required by the AP &P. All such documents must be approved as to form by the City Attorney. SECTION 4: Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act. This Resolution is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.; "CEQA ") and CEQA regulations (Cal. Code Regs. Title 14, §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes, structures, and approves rates and charges to obtain funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within existing service areas. This Resolution, therefore, is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under Cal. Code Regs. Title 14, § 15273. SECTION 5: Effective Date of this Resolution. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and remain in effect unless repealed or superseded. PASSED AND ADOPTED this day of 12009.
