AMENDING ESMC §§ 15- 3 -2(A) AND 15 -3 -1 FOR THE 199
NORTH CONTINENTAL BOULEVARD SITE REZONING AND
199 NORTH CONTINENTAL BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN
PROJECT.
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:
A. On December 1, 2009, JF El Segundo Owner, LLC, filed an
application for an Environmental Assessment (EA No. 844),
General Plan Amendment No. 09 -02, Zone Change No. 09 -02,
Zone Text Amendment No. 09 -04, Specific Plan No. 09 -02,
Development Agreement No. 09 -03, and Administrative Use Permit
No. 09 -06 to re- designate and rezone an approximately 1.75 acre
property at 199 North Continental Boulevard from Corporate Office
(CO) Zone to 199 North Continental Boulevard Specific Plan
(NCBSP) to allow construction of a six -story, 71,005 square -foot
hotel with 152 rooms;
B. The applications from the JF El Segundo Owner, LLC, were
reviewed by the City of El Segundo Planning and Building Safety
Department for, in part, consistency with the General Plan and
conformity with the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ");
C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts
under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources
Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated
thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations § §15000, et seq., the
"CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's Environmental Guidelines (City
Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted March 16, 1993);
D. An Addendum to the Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration for
EA No. 773 (approved by the El Segundo Planning Commission on
September 25, 2008) was prepared pursuant to the requirements of
CEQA Guidelines § 15164. Pursuant to CEQA, the Addendum
need not be circulated for public review (CEQA § 15164(c))
however, an addendum is to be considered by the decision - making
body before to making a decision on the project (CEQA §
15164(d));
E. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review
and scheduled a public hearing regarding the application before the
Planning Commission for March 18, 2010. Following the March
18th public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended that
the City Council adopt this Ordinance;
F. On April 6, 2010 the City Council held a public hearing and
considered the information provided by City staff, public testimony
and the applicant, JF El Segundo Owner, LLC; and
G. This Ordinance and its findings are made based upon testimony
and evidence presented to the Council at its April 6, 2010 hearing
including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the
Department of Planning and Building Safety.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds and
declares that the factual findings and conclusions set forth in
Resolution No. 4647, adopted on April 6, 2010, are incorporated as
if fully set forth.
SECTION 3: Zone Change Findings.
A. Based on the factual findings of this Ordinance, the proposed Zone
Change is necessary to carry out the proposed project because the
proposed General Plan Amendment would change the land use
classification of the project site from Corporate Office (CO) to 199
North Continental Boulevard Specific Plan (NCBSP). The proposed
Zone Change is necessary to maintain consistency with the
proposed General Plan land uses designation of 199 North
Continental Boulevard Specific Plan.
B. ESMC Title 15 is intended to be the primary tool for implementing
the goals, objectives and policies of the El Segundo General Plan.
The zone change will maintain consistency with the proposed
change in General Plan land use designation to 199 North
Continental Boulevard Specific Plan and is also consistent with the
following General Plan goals, objectives and policies discussed in
Section 4 of Resolution No. 4647, adopted on April 6, 2010, which
is incorporated as if fully set forth:
1. Land Use Element Policy LU4 -1.2 "all commercial facilities
shall be built and maintained in accordance with Health and
Safety Code requirements and shall meet seismic safety
regulations and environmental regulations."
2
2. Land Use Element Objective LU4 -4 to "provide areas where
development has the flexibility to mix uses, in an effort to
provide synergistic relationships which have the potential to
maximize economic benefit, reduce traffic impacts, and
encourage pedestrian environments."
3. Land Use Element Policy LU4 -3.6 to "require landscaping, its
maintenance, and permanent upkeep in all new office and
mixed -use developments."
4. Land Use Element Policy LU5 -2.2 that "all outdoor storage shall
be properly screened by masonry walls and landscaping."
5. Land Use Element Policy LU7 -1.2 in that "no new development
shall be allowed unless adequate public facilities are in place or
provided for."
6. Circulation Element Objective C1 -1 to "provide a roadway
system that accommodates the City's existing and projected
land use and circulation needs."
7. Circulation Element Policy C1 -1.2 to "pursue implementation of
all Circulation Element policies such that all Master Plan
roadways are upgraded and maintained at acceptable levels of
service."
8. Circulation Element Policy C1 -1.5 to "implement roadway and
intersection upgrades to full Circulation Element standards
when needed to improve traffic operating conditions and to
serve development."
9. Circulation Element Policy C1 -1.14 to "require a full evaluation
of potential traffic impacts associated with proposed new
development prior to project approval. Further, require the
implementation of appropriate mitigation measures prior to, or in
conjunction with, project development. Mitigation measures
may include new roadway links on segments that would connect
the new development to the existing roadway system,
intersection improvements, and other measures. Mitigation
measures shall be provided by or paid for by the project
developer."
10.Circulation Element Policy C1 -3.2 to "ensure that the
development review process incorporates consideration of off -
street commercial loading requirements for all new projects."
3
11. Circulation Element Policy C2 -1.3 to "encourage new
developments in the City to participate in the development of the
citywide system of pedestrian walkways and require
participation funded by the project developer where
appropriate."
12. Circulation Element Policy C2 -1.4 to "ensure the installation of
sidewalks on all future arterial widening or new construction
projects, to establish a continuous and convenient link for
pedestrians."
13. Circulation Element Policy 3 -1.1 to "require all new development
to mitigate project - related impacts on the existing and future
circulation system such that all Master Plan roadways and
intersections are upgraded and maintained at acceptable levels
of service through implementation of all applicable Circulation
Element policies. Mitigation measures shall be provided by or
paid for by the project developer."
14. Circulation Element Policy C3 -1.8 to "require the provision of
adequate pedestrian and bicycle access for new development
projects through the development review process."
15. Circulation Element Policy C3 -2.1 to "ensure the provision of
sufficient on -site parking in all new development."
SECTION 4: Zone Text Amendment Findings. Based on the factual findings of
this Ordinance, the proposed Zone Text Amendment is necessary to carry out
the proposed project to create the proposed 199 North Continental Boulevard
Specific Plan (NCBSP) Zone, which would allow commercial development of the
project site. Without an amendment to the ESMC, the current zoning would not
permit a hotel development with a 0.92 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). An amendment
to ESMC § 15- 3 -2(A) to create the 199 North Continental Boulevard Specific
Plan (NCBSP) is necessary for consistency with the General Plan. Additionally,
an amendment to ESMC § 15 -3 -1 to list the 199 North Continental Boulevard
Specific Plan (NCBSP) Zone as a zoning classification with the City is necessary
for consistency with the General Plan.
SECTION 5: Specific Plan Findings.
A. Based on the factual findings of this Ordinance, the proposed
creation of the 199 North Continental Boulevard Specific Plan
(NCBSP), which would allow commercial development of the
project site, is necessary to carry out the proposed project. Without
an amendment to the ESMC, the current zoning would not permit a
hotel development with a 0.92 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). An
4 24
amendment to ESMC § 15- 3 -2(A) to create the 199 North
Continental Boulevard Specific Plan (NCBSP) is necessary for
consistency with the General Plan. Additionally, an amendment to
ESMC § 15 -3 -1 to list the 199 North Continental Boulevard Specific
Plan (NCBSP) Zone as a zoning classification with the City is
necessary for consistency with the General Plan. The General
Plan Land Use Designation of the project site is 199 North
Continental Boulevard Specific Plan (NCBSP). This designation is
for hotels not to exceed 0.92 floor area ratio (FAR), and general
office, research and development, restaurants and cafes, medical -
dental offices, not to exceed 0.80 floor area ratio (FAR).
SECTION 6: Development Agreement Findings. Pursuant to City Council
Resolution No. 3268, adopted June 26, 1984, the City Council finds that:
A. The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land
uses, and programs specified in the general plan and any
applicable specific plan. The Development Agreement would
provide the following public benefits in exchange for valuable
development rights (eight -year entitlement):
1. Development of a property that is currently vacant and
underutilized.
2. Increasing and further stabilizing the City's tax base through
development of a new hotel.
3. Increase in employment opportunities for the City's residents.
4. Increasing City revenues through the generation of taxes that
outweigh the City cost of services.
5. Development of a project that is consistent with the Elements of
the General Plan.
6. Development of a Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) Certified building.
7. Improvements to roadways and intersections in the project
vicinity.
8. Contribution of $75,000 to the Recreation and Parks
Department for capital improvement projects that will benefit
children.
9. Contribution of $19,881.40 in police, fire, and library mitigation
fees to offset the impacts of the project on public services, or
such amount as may be required when the City issues
certificates of occupancy.
10. Contribution of $217,940.00 in traffic impact mitigation fees
(Zone 1 $2,564 per PM peak trip) traffic impact mitigation fees
to offset the impacts of the project on public roadway
infrastructure, or such amount as may be required when the City
issues certificates of occupancy.
5 2
B. The project is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the
regulations prescribed for, the land use district in which the real
property is located. The proposed project includes a new land use
designation and zoning classification, which establishes the
permitted uses and development standards that would apply to the
project. These uses and development standards are similar and
compatible with the other commercially zoned districts in the City.
C. The project will not be detrimental to the health, safety and general
welfare. The proposed project will not create any negative
environmental impacts. The mitigation measures listed in the
mitigated negative declaration are sufficient to reduce all identified
environmental impacts to less than significant levels.
D. The project will not adversely affect the orderly development of
property or the preservation of property values. The proposed 199
North Continental Boulevard Specific Plan development standards
and development agreement will ensure that the project will be
developed in an orderly fashion. All mitigation measures will be
implemented at the time and place impacts occur.
SECTION 7: Approvals.
A. The City Council adds ESMC § 15- 3- 2(A)(6) to read as follows:
"6. 199 North Continental Boulevard Specific Plan
There is one zone intended to be used within the boundaries
of the 199 North Continental Boulevard Specific Plan. The
zone is:
NCBSP - 199 North Continental Boulevard Specific Plan"
B. The City Council amends the current Zoning Map to reflect a
change of the Project area which is bounded by and fronts on North
Continental Boulevard to the east; 101 North Continental Boulevard
to the south and west, and 201 North Continental Boulevard to the
north from Corporate Office (CO) to 199 North Continental
Boulevard Specific Plan. The corresponding changes to the Zoning
Map as set forth in attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated into

Ordinance by reference.

Addendum to previously adopted Initial Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration
(IS /MND) for this Project which, among other things, properly assesses the
environmental impact of this Ordinance, and the Project, in accordance with
CEQA. This Ordinance incorporates by reference the environmental findings and
analysis set forth in Resolution No. 4647.
SECTION 9: Repeal or amendment of any provision

Boulevard Specific Plan provides text and exhibits
which describe the proposed land uses and
associated guidelines.
This Specific Plan must be adopted in accordance
with the provisions of Government Code §§ 65450
through 65457, which grants local governments
authority to prepare Specific Plans of development
for any area regulated by a General Plan.
Government Code §§ 65450 through 65454

The distribution, location, and extent of the
uses of land, including open space within
the area covered by the plan.
The proposed distribution, location, extent,
and intensity of major components of public
and private transportation, sewage, water,
drainage, solid waste disposal, energy and
other essential facilities proposed to be
located within the land area covered by the
plan and needed to support the land uses
described in the plan.
Standards and criteria by which
development will proceed, and standards for
the conservation, development, and
utilization of natural resources, where
applicable.
A program of implementation measures
including regulations, programs, public
works projects and financing measures
necessary to carry out the above items.
A discussion of the relationship of the
Specific Plan to the General Plan.
A thorough review of the El Segundo General Plan
shows that this Specific Plan is compatible and
consistent with the goals and policies outlined in
the General Plan. This Specific Plan will further the
goals and policies of the General Plan.
This Specific Plan was prepared to provide the
essential relationship between the policies of the El
Segundo General Plan and actual development in
the project area. By functioning as a regulatory
document, the 199 North Continental Boulevard
Specific Plan provides a means of implementing
and detailing the City of El Segundo's General
Plan. All future development plans and
entitlements within the Specific Plan boundaries
must be consistent with the standards set forth in
this document.

1.2 PROJECT HISTORY
On September 25, 2008, the El Segundo Planning
Commission approved Environmental Assessment
No. EA 733 and Conditional Use Permit No. 07 -07
to allow construction of a six -story, 61,104 square -
foot hotel on a 1.75 acre site located at 101
Continental Boulevard (new address of 199 North
Continental Boulevard), at the northwest corner of
El Segundo Boulevard and Continental Boulevard,
immediately north and adjacent to the Northrop
Tower (formerly the Xerox Tower). The Hotel (Aloft
Hotel) was approved for a total of 167 rooms at a
maximum FAR of 0.80 as permitted in the
Corporate Office Zone.
In August 2009, JF El Segundo Owner, LLC,
submitted a new project requesting minor
modifications to the original approval.
1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The 1.75 acre 199 North Continental Boulevard
Specific Plan area is paved with parking and was
originally part of a larger 10.58 acre site which
included the 101 Continental Boulevard property. A
lot line adjustment created the 1.75 acre plan area.
The project consists of a 71,005 square foot, 152 -
room hotel with a 0.92 FAR; essentially a slightly
larger hotel with a smaller footprint and overall
building mass.
Figure 1 Cambria Suites Hotel
The revised project is similar to the original project
and has some additional benefits: (1) the project
generates fewer vehicle trips; (2) provides more
favorable economic development; and (3) provides
better hotel amenities. This Specific Plan
implements the desire to support the revised
project with an FAR in excess of that permitted by
the Corporate Office (CO) Zone. A comparison is
shown in Table 1; differences are highlighted in
bold text.

1.4 CEQA COMPLIANCE
Under the original proposal (Aloft Hotel), the El
Segundo Planning Commission adopted an Initial
Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS /MND)
pursuant to CEQA § 15070. Since the project
underwent minor modifications, the City prepared
an addendum to the original IS /MND. Pursuant to
CEQA, an addendum to an adopted Negative
Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration is
needed if minor technical changes or modifications
to the proposed project occur (CEQA Guidelines §
15164) and only if those minor changes do not
result in any new significant impacts or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant impacts. The addendum need
not be circulated for public review (CEQA
guidelines § 15164[c]); however, an addendum
must be considered by the decision - making body
before making a decision on the project (CEQA
Guidelines § 15164[d]).
An addendum for the revised Project was prepared
and found that the project revisions do not result in
significant modifications. Thus, the Initial
Study /Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for
the previously approved project located on this
same site, with addendum, will serve as the CEQA
documentation for the 199 North Continental
Boulevard Specific Plan. This environmental
review is also applicable to future hotel
development projects that are processed in
conformance with this Specific Plan, thus requiring
no further environmental documentation as noted in
Sections 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines.
The document establishes the following
development thresholds shown in Table 2 below.
