EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 21, 2010
AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Special Order of Business - Public Hearing
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding (Public Hearing) the proposed exchange of
FY 2011/12 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds totaling
approximately $97,765 with another CDBG participating city within the Los Angeles

ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
None.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Amount Budgeted: Total CDBG $97,765 ($93,387 estimated CDBG FY 2011/12;
$4,378 Prior Year Unallocated CDBG)
Account Number(s): CDBG Fund 111 '
ORIGINATED BY: Kimberly Christensen, AICP, Planning Manager '
REVIEWED BY: Greg Carpenter, Director oRlanning and Building Safety
APPROVED BY: Jack Wayt, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Each year, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are allocated to cities by the
Federal Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) and administered through the Los
Angeles County Community Development Commission (CDC). Participating cities receive
funding based upon the total number of cities participating in the County's program, and a City's
commitment to provide housing, economic, social service, and community development
opportunities that principally benefit persons of low and moderate income levels.
Uri
Since 1986, the City of El Segundo has annually participated in the Los Angeles Urban County's
CDBG Program. In order to continue its participation in the upcoming 2011 -2012 program year,
which begins on July 1, 2011, and ends on June 30, 2012, the City of El Segundo must prepare
and submit its proposed CDBG action plan and /or project descriptions to the Los Angeles
County Community Development Commission by January 31, 2011, for review and approval.
Pursuant to Federal requirements, notice of this public hearing was posted in public buildings
within the City. Federal requirements also mandate that as part of the hearing, the Council and
public be informed of the range of eligible housing and community development activities that
may be funded under the CDBG program. Interested persons may obtain a copy of the Federal
eligibility guidelines, available at the City of El Segundo's Department of Planning and Building
Safety, during regular business hours.
Proposed CDBG Projects and Budgets
The proposed 2011 -2012 CDBG allocation for the City of El Segundo is approximately $93,387.
This is a planning estimate only; the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission
(CDC) will not receive the final appropriation from HUD until Spring 2011. The City's final
CDBG allocation may be more or less than the planning estimate. Generally, however, the final
allocation is within 10% of the estimate provided. There will be little or no change in CDBG
funding levels from last year.
Proposed CDBG Action Plan for 2011 -2012
Participating cities within the Los Angeles Urban County CDBG Program are eligible to
exchange or "sell" CDBG monies among each other. Typically, cities that purchase CDBG
funds "buy" the CDBG funds using unrestricted General Funds. CDBG funds often sell at a
discount because of the regulatory burden assumed by the purchaser. The current rate that cities
acquire CDBG funds range from $0.55 to $0.65 per CDBG dollar. Thus, if El Segundo is
successful in exchanging FY 2011/2012 CDBG funds totaling $97,765 ($93,387 CDBG FY
2011/12; $4,378 prior year unallocated CDBG), a potential yield of $53,770 ($0.5.5 per dollar) to
$63,547 ($0.65 per dollar) may be available in unrestricted General Funds. For FY 2010 -2011,
the City of El Segundo completed an exchange of funds in the amount of $100,887.00 with the
City of La Mirada for $0.551$1.00 CDBG and received a total of $55,488.00.
The City of El Segundo used proceeds from the La Mirada exchange of CDBG funds to support
three public service projects: Home Delivered Meals, Senior In -Home Care and Juvenile
Diversion. For FY 2010 -2011, the budget for the public service projects totaled $68,350 (Home
Delivered Meals - $28,800 [plus approximately $10,000 in donations], Senior In -Home Care -
$25,550 and Juvenile Diversion - $14,000). Exchanging CDBG funds will generate more than
75% of the revenue necessary to support the continuation of the City's three public service
projects. Thus, an exchange of CDBG Funds is an effective revenue mechanism to supplement
the General Fund contribution. However, exchanging funds is contingent upon other
participating cities interested in transacting an exchange. Two cities have expressed an interest
in potentially transacting an exchange in the coming fiscal year.
2 U1�
Alternatively, if the City cannot identify another CDBG participating city interested in
exchanging CDBG funds, it is recommended that CDBG funds support the continuation of the
installation of handicapped access concrete ramps throughout the City. With the recent success
of the CDBG- funded installation of the more than 100 handicapped - access concrete ramps
project, and with additional curbs remaining that require replacement, staff proposes allocating
$88,426 of its FY 2011 -2012 CDBG funds towards this project should exchanging CDBG funds
not be feasible. Approximately 30 -35 ramps could be completed with a CDBG budget of
$88,426.
Thus, the proposed alternate FY 2011 -2012 CDBG projects and budgets are:
CDBG Proiect Source of Funds Total Budl?et
American with
Disabilities Act (ADA)
Handicapped Access $84,048 (CDBG) + $4,378 (prior year, unallocated CDBG Funds)=
Concrete Ramps $88,426

AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding a new Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license
for on -site sale and off -site consumption of beer and wine at an existing Walgreens store, (Type
20 — Off -sale Beer and Wine) located at 331 North Sepulveda Boulevard. Applicant: Robert M.
Silverman, Walgreens Co. (Fiscal Impact: N /A)
(Fiscal Impact: N /A)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Receive and file this report without objecting to a new Type 20 ABC license at 331 North
Sepulveda Boulevard.; and /or
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1. Crime and Arrest Statistics by Reporting Districts (RD)
2. Police Reporting Districts Map
3. Planning Commission Staff Report and Resolution, dated December 9, 2010
4. Administrative Use Permit Revised Approval Letter, dated December 20, 2010
FISCAL IMPACT: None
Amount Budgeted: N/A
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): N/A
ORIGINATED BY: Kimberly Christensen, AICP, Planning Manager
REVIEWED BY: Greg Carpenter, Planning and Building Safety Director
APPROVED BY: Jack Wayt, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
I. Backiround
In 1995, the City Council directed staff to bring all future ABC licenses to it for review. For
alcohol sales at retail establishments, California regulations require a 30 -day review and
comment period after notifying local police and planning departments. The grounds of a protest,
if any, should relate to public health, safety or welfare concerns. Based upon previous Council
direction, staff is providing background information regarding this application.
II. Analysis
According to the most recent Crime and Arrest statistics report (January 2010 — June 2010,
UPDATED PAGE
Exhibit 1) prepared by the Police Department, the existing retail store is located in Reporting
District (RD) 209. Based on the January — June 2010 reported data prepared by the Police
Department, the district had a total of 15 Part I crimes (criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery,
aggravated assault, burglary, larceny- theft, motor vehicle theft and arson) and 33 Part II crimes
for a total of 48 crimes. The Reporting District is considered a high crime area with a total of 48
crimes reported between January and June 2010. However, the Police Department and the
Planning and Building Safety Department do not object to a new Type 20 ABC license for the
proposed sale of beer and wine at the store.
This license request will allow the sale of beer and wine for off -site consumption. The approval
of the ABC license request would be for the convenience of providing alcohol for sale within the
retail store for its patrons, and not a necessity. The Planning Director made a finding of public
convenience and necessity in his revised decision letter dated December 20, 2010. There are no
other ABC licenses in this location. A request for a new Type 20 license is for this location. The
hours to sell beer and wine in this location will be everyday between 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. The
attached Planning Commission staff report describes some of the security measures existing and
proposed to monitor the sale of beer and wine.
On December 2, 2010, the Director of Planning and Building Safety approved an Administrative

I. INTRODUCTION
The proposed project is a request for an Administrative Use Permit to allow the
on -site sale and off -site consumption of beer and wine at an existing Walgreens
store. The proposed hours to sell beer and wine are daily between 6 a.m. and 2
a.m. The proposed project is located at 330 North Sepulveda Boulevard in the
General Commercial (C -3) Zone. The property is located on the block bounded
by Indiana Street on the west, Sepulveda Boulevard on the east, Holly Avenue
on the north, and Grand Avenue on the south.

approximately 115 square feet of space within an existing Walgreens store to sell
beer and wine for off -site consumption. Sale of beer and wine will occur between
the hours of 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. Sunday through Monday. The Walgreens store
has a floor area of approximately 13,650 square feet. The project proposes no
structural change to the exterior of the building, building envelope, parking or
landscaping. The applicant will not sell distilled spirits, malt liquor, single
servings or any other variation.
The proposed project site is located in the General Commercial District (C -3).

and will be constructed in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
The project proposes no structural change to the exterior of the building, building

envelope, parking or landscaping. Sufficient parking will be provided on -site in
compliance with ESMC Chapter 15 -15.
2. The surrounding land uses include commercial retail, restaurants, industrial uses
and a bank. The proposed sale of beer and wine and the Walgreens store is a
permitted use within the C -3 Zone.
3. The proposed hours of operation are limited to 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 am. seven days
a week. The beer and wine will be sold within a specific section of the store.
Beer will occupy a 35 square foot cooler, and wine will make up the beverage
aisle for a total of 56 square feet. The storage area will consist of 22 square feet.
No live entertainment is proposed. The proposed sale of beer and wine, will not
be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity.
4. The issuance of this license at 331 North Sepulveda Boulevard to Walgreens Co.
by the Alcoholic Beverage Control would serve a "Public Convenience or
Necessity" as there are a limited number of large retail stores within the City.
The store would serve the City's 16,000 residents as well as the day time work
force population of nearly 70,000 people. The business operation will not tend to
create a law enforcement problem in consideration of the conditions of approval
under which the store must operate.
Finding 4
Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise,
smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic, and hazards have been recognized
and mitigated.
Facts in Support of Finding 4
The sale of beer and wine will not create any new impacts that would not be
normally associated with the operation of a retail store like Walgreens.
The proposed hours of operation and alcohol sales are limited from 6:00 a.m. to
2:00 a.m., seven days a week. The applicant proposes to adopt several security
measures such as security cameras, public view monitors and locating the beer
and wine shelves far away from the store entrance at the rear of the store.
Patrons buying alcohol who appear to be under the age of 40 are asked for
identification. The applicant states that there would be no exterior advertising or
displays that would signify that beer and wine are sold on the premises.
2. The Walgreens store already provides adequate parking on -site. Sale of beer
and wine is a retail activity that is not expanding the existing area devoted to
retail.
3. In addition to complying with the requirements of the City of El Segundo and the
State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control the restaurant is
4 UPDATED PAGE
subject to County Health Department regulations that address and monitor
impacts of fumes and odors.
Finding 5
The State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has issued or will issue a
license to sell alcohol to the applicant.
Facts in Support of Finding 5
1. The applicant must obtain a license from the State of California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control (Type No. 20).
2. The issuance of this license at 331 North Sepulveda Boulevard to Walgreens Co.
by the Alcoholic Beverage Control would serve a "Public Convenience or
Necessity" as there are a limited number of large retail stores within the City.
The store would serve the City's 16,000 residents as well as the day time work
force population of nearly 70,000 people. The business operation will not tend to
create a law enforcement problem in consideration of the conditions of approval
under which the store must operate.

APPROVED BY: Jack Wayt, City
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
I. Background
In 1995, the City Council directed staff to bring all future ABC licenses to it for review. For
alcohol sales at restaurants, California regulations require a 30 -day review and comment period
after notifying local police and planning departments. The grounds of a protest, if any, should
relate to public health, safety or welfare concerns. Based upon previous Council direction, staff
is providing background information regarding this application.
1l1 2
II. Analysis
According to the most recent Crime and Arrest statistics report (January — June 2010, Exhibit 1)
prepared by the Police Department, the proposed restaurant is located in Reporting District (RD)
318. Based on 2010 reported data prepared by the Police Department, the district had a total of
35 Part I crimes (criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny -
theft, motor vehicle theft and arson), and 40 Part II crimes. The Reporting District is considered
a high crime area with a total of 75 crimes reported between January and June 2010. However,
the Police Department and the Planning and Building Safety Department do not object to a new
ABC license for the proposed restaurant.
This license request will allow the sale of beer and wine in conjunction with the operations of a
restaurant. A request for a new license is required, since no previous alcohol license existed at
the proposed location. The applicant's proposed hours for alcohol sales will be the same as the
hours the restaurant is open. The restaurant's hours of operation are limited to: 11:00 a.m. to
11:00 p.m. on Monday through Sunday.
On December 2, 2010, the Director of Planning and Building Safety approved an Administrative
Use Permit application (EA No. 864, AUP No. 10 -01) for 780 South Sepulveda Boulevard # B.
The Director's decision was forwarded to the Planning Commission on December 9, 2010. On
December 9, 2010, the Planning Commission chose to Receive and File the item with the
conditions of approval.
ABC license review requires mandatory findings that are regulated by the Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control. The City's AUP process is separate. The Department of Alcoholic
Beverage Control (ABC) is responsible for running a complete background check on all alcohol
license applicants, as well as conducting site inspections, before issuing any type of alcohol
license.
III. Conclusion
Planning staff recommends that the Council receive and file this report without objecting to a
new Type 41 ABC license at 780 South Sepulveda Boulevard # B.

REQUEST: A Request for an Administrative Use Permit to allow
the sale and consumption of alcohol (Type 41
Alcoholic Beverage Control License for beer and
wine) at a new restaurant
PROPERTY INVOLVED: 780 South Sepulveda Boulevard, Suite B
Introduction
The proposed project is a request for an Administrative Use Permit to allow the on-
site sale and consumption of alcohol at a new restaurant within an existing
commercial building located at 780 South Sepulveda Boulevard in the Commercial
Center (C -4) Zone. The applicant is requesting a Type 41 license from the
California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the on -site sale and
consumption of beer and wine in the restaurant and in a new outdoor dining area.
The Director made the necessary findings to grant an Administrative Use Permit for
the on -site sale and consumption of alcohol and approved the Administrative Use
Permit on December 2, 2010 (see Exhibit C).
Analysis
Project Description
The subject site is an existing commercial building in the northwest portion of the
Plaza El Segundo shopping center. The applicant proposes to convert 3,360
square feet of the existing building into a new restaurant and to add a 920 square-
04
foot outdoor dining patio. The proposed hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
daily.
The outdoor patio is proposed along the north and east sides of the building. The
patio will be approximately 920 square feet in size and will be enclosed with a
stucco wall to match the building material along the north side and a black wrought
iron fence along the east side. The portion of the patio area along the north side of
the building will be covered by an awning extending to the edge of the patio. The
outdoor dining area along the east side of the building will be covered using free-
standing umbrellas above each table. The material and colors of the patio wall,
fence, and awning will be compatible with those existing on the building.
The interior of the restaurant includes a main dining area and a bar area. The main
dining area will contain 106 seats, the bar will contain 11 seats, and the outdoor
dining area will contain 60 seats for a total of 177 seats. The following chart
summarizes the proposed dining and seating areas:

Restaurants are a permitted use in this Zoning District in accordance with the
Commercial Center (C -4) Zone and Section 4.1.5 of the Development Agreement by
and between the City of El Segundo and developer of the Plaza El Segundo project.
The proposed use (on -site sale and consumption of beer and wine) requires an
Administrative Use Permit (AUP) in accordance with El Segundo Municipal Code §
15- 5G -4(A).

` Pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code § 15 -15, parking for outdoor dining areas is required only for the
portion that exceeds 200 square feet or 20 percent of the indoor dining area, whichever is less.
*" Pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code §15- 15 -3.F, fractional spaces are rounded to the nearest
whole number.
The Development Agreement between the City and the developer allows parking to
be shared across parcel lines. Therefore, the parking demand from the new
restaurant will be adequately addressed by the available parking on the subject
parcel and the adjacent parcels in the shopping center.
The restaurant dining hours of operation are limited to: Monday through Sunday
from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The outdoor patio would be open the same hours as
the restaurant. Any change to the hours of operation is subject to review and
approval by the Director of Planning and Building Safety.
Planning staff reviewed the application and the Director made the necessary
findings to grant an Administrative Use Permit. The attached letter specifies all of
the required findings for the permit.
III. Inter - Departmental Comments
The project applications and plans were circulated to the Police Department, Fire
Department and Building Division for review. The Departments submitted
comments which have been incorporated in this report (See Exhibit A).

Comments from the Department of Building Safety
The Environmental Assessment Number is EA -864
The address is 780 S Sepulveda Blvd
The use is a restaurant
The occupancy is A -2 /B
The type of construction is V -B
The Building Code used is the 2007 CBC, and the 2007 CPC
( Note if plans are submitted after 1 -1 -11, then the project must comply with the
2010 CBC, and 2010 CPC)
Comments:
The fixed awning covering the seating area is to have a fire retardant roof, which is not
the same as a flame retardant material. The awning area counts toward the square footage
of the building, and is to have sprinklers as required for the rest of the building.
There is to be a 44" wide aisle way that connects the two required exits inside the
building, and to the exit gates serving the outdoor dining areas.
The plumbing fixture count is to provided per table 4 -1 of the 2007 CPC.
There are to be 2- disabled access seating spaces in the outdoor seating area with
umbrellas.
The project is to provide complete calculation and details for the soffits, suspended
ceiling, metal panels and awning. Since the suspended ceiling is more than 6' below the
support, the use of the El Segundo Standard detail cannot be used.
Health Department approval will be required prior to any building permit approval.

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a
"Potentially Significant Impact' ' as indicated by the checklist on the following pages.
❑
Aesthetics
❑
Agricultural Resources
❑
Biological Resources
❑
Cultural Resources
❑
Hazards & Hazardous Materials
❑
Hydrology/Water Quality
❑
Mineral Resources
❑
Noise
❑
Public Services
❑
Recreation
❑
Utilities/Service Systems
❑
Mandatory Findings of Significance
EVALUATION OF IMPACTS
❑ Air Quality
❑ Geology /Soils
• Land Use/Planning
• Population/Housing
❑ Transportation/Traffic
1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information
sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" answer is adequately supported if the
referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls
outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on project - specific factors as well as
general standards (e.g. the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project - specific screening analysis).
2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site, cumulative as well as project -
level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts.
3. The checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less
than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significant. If there
are one or more "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an EIR is required.
4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation
measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less than Significant Impact." You must describe the
mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level.
5. Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately
analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the
following:
a. Earlier Analyses Used. Identify and state where they are available for review.
b. Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately
analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by
mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis.
c. Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the
mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site -
specific conditions for the project.
6. Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where
the statement is substantiated.
City of El Segundo Initial Study Applicant Questionnaire 4 of 17
U'�
7. Supporting Information Sources. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited
in the discussion.
8. The explanation of each issue should identify:
a. the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and
b. the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance.
ISSUES
A brief written explanation is required, for all of your responses to the following questions except mose cnecKea no impact i our
responses must be keyed to the corresponding question (e.g. a response to the first question should begin with "I a" followed by your
narrative response).

I. AESTHETICS. Would the project:
a). Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista?
❑ ❑ ❑
b). Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but
not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic
❑ ❑ ❑
buildings within a state scenic highway?
c). Substantially degrade the existing visual character
❑ ❑ ❑
or quality of the site and surroundings?
d). Create a new source of substantial light or glare
that would adversely affect day or nighttime views
in the area?
❑ El ❑
II. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES. In determining whether
Impacts to agricultural resources are significant environmental
Effects, lead agencies may refer to the California Agricultural
Land Evaluation and Site Assessment Model (1997) prepared
By the California Dept. of Conservation as an optional model
To use in assessing impacts on agriculture and farmland.
Would the project:
a). Convert Prime Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide
Importance (Farmland), as shown on the maps prepared
Pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring
Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-
❑ ❑
Agricultural use?
❑
b). Conflict with existing zoning or agricultural use, or a
❑ ❑ ❑
Williamson Act contract?
c). Involve other changes in the existing environment
which, due to their location or nature, could result in
❑ ❑

ORIGINATED BY: Kimberly Christensen, AICP, Planning Manager �,
REVIEWED BY: Greg Carpenter, Director ofplanning and Building Safety /�.1�.
APPROVED BY: Jack Wayt, City
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City Council previously directed Planning and Building Safety staff to obtain Council
approval on any planning consulting services contracts over $125,000 for the preparation of the
necessary environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
In this case, staff seeks approval to enter into an agreement for CEQA review of the 540 East
Imperial Avenue - Imperial School Site Project.
On November 4, 2010 the Planning and Building Safety Department distributed a Request for
Proposal for a qualified environmental consultant. 'This environmental review will include
iU�
review of two conceptual development options for the proposed 5.65 acre former El Segundo
Unified School District ( ESUSD) site located at 540 E. Imperial Avenue. The proposed
conceptual development options would include: 1) a senior living complex with a mix of
Assisted/Independent Living (150 beds) and Senior Housing Apartments up to 150 units or; 2) a
residential development consisting of a mix of 24 single - family dwelling units and 45 multi-
family units with private streets. Both options would be analyzed as part of the environmental
review.
The City received proposals from nine (9) qualified planning and environmental consulting
firms. Based on the firm's understanding of the project scope, technical expertise, overall
qualifications of the project team and budget, the Planning and Building Safety Department staff
interviewed the top five firms, namely, EcoTierra, PCR, Rincon, PBS &J, and Hogle- Ireland.
Based on the overall qualifications of the project team, current workload and cost proposal,
Planning and Building Safety staff recommends selecting PBS &J in conjunction with Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc. (traffic consultants).
The consultant was asked to provide a price based upon the preparation of a Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) or and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) based on the two project options
and the required CEQA alternatives analysis. Planning Staff recommends that the City enter into
agreement for the higher cost for an EIR in the amount of $142,859. If, through the initial
review process it is determined that the less expensive Mitigated Negative Declaration process is
appropriate, then the lower cost of $98,510 will be applicable. The cost for both the EIR and
MND options includes a 10% contingency, which if not needed results in a cost of $129,872 and
$89,555 respectively. If Council approves the contract award to PBS &J, final cost for services
must then be approved by the ESUSD School Board at its meeting on January 11, 2011.
Recommendation
The Planning and Building Safety Department requests that the Council: 1) approve a budget
appropriation of $142,859 from a developer funded trust account for planning consulting
services; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with
PBS &J, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for a combined total not to exceed $142,859.

Subject: Request for Proposal to Prepare CEQA Documentation for the Assisted Living /Senior Housing Project
at 540 East Imperial Avenue in the City of El Segundo
Dear Ms. Christensen:
The City of El Segundo is seeking a qualified consultant to prepare the environmental review for developing a 5.65 -
acre former El Segundo Unified School District ( ESUSD) school site located at 540 East Imperial Avenue. The
proposed conceptual development would consist of one of the following two options:
1. A senior living complex with a mix of assisted /independent living and senior housing apartments
2. A residential development consisting of a mix of 24 single - family dwelling units and 45 multi - family units with
private streets
Other amenities may include a swimming /therapy pool, fitness center, community room, library, arts and crafts
area, dining hall, bistro, garden, and /or theater. It is our understanding that between March 2008 and May 2009,
ESUSD held a series of meetings to determine the best use of the property and decided on a plan to re- entitle the
site for lease and development of the Assisted Living /Senior Housing project. Planning entitlements required for this
project include a Specific Plan, General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Zone Text Amendment, Subdivision, and
Development Agreement.
PBS &J, an Atkins company, has assembled a team with the requisite skill set to successfully complete this project
for the City. Our proposal includes a scope of work, schedule, and budget for two options: (1) an Initial Study (IS)
and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) or (2) an IS, Notice of Preparation (NOP), and Environmental Impact
Report (EIR). Both cost proposals include preparation of a cultural resources survey and report and a traffic study. Our
experience with similar environmental projects throughout the local area, as well as the depth of our senior leadership
with environmental and planning issues in the greater Los Angeles area, will allow us to complete the requested work
in a timely and cost - effective manner. In relevant part, PBS &J offers:
Relationship with the City of El Segundo, which provides extensive local experience.
Recent environmental review experience and knowledge of issues pertaining to assisted living /senior housing
development throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties, which demonstrates specific expertise with the type of
project that is proposed.
Commitment of senior PBS &J staff to work on the project, which offers unique intellectual capital that can be
leveraged to the benefit of the proposed project.
PBS &J is a multidisciplinary environmental, urban planning, transportation, water resource, and engineering firm.
We are proud of our long history collaborating with local jurisdictions and transportation agencies in the strategic

advancement of the environmental review process. With more than 8,500 successful environmental documents
completed pursuant to CEQA, NEPA, state and federal Endangered Species Acts, the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act,
National Historic Preservation Act, and a host of other state and federal environmental legislation, our team offers
professionals who can provide high - quality and legally defensible work products.
PBS &J is able to provide the full range of services required for the environmental process including the cultural
resources survey and report. We are pleased to have Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc., join our team for preparation
of the traffic study. As you are aware, Kimley -Horn and Associates has prepared many traffic studies for projects in
the City of El Segundo. The firm is very familiar with the city, its traffic issues, and traffic study requirements, and has
modeled future traffic conditions throughout the city for both short -term and long -term conditions. We are confident
that this concentration of expertise and experience on our team will result in a smooth, coordinated effort that is free
of unnecessary delays.
PBS &J is experienced in preparing environmental analyses for projects that have an optioned approach, and we
welcome the opportunity to build upon that experience by working on the Assisted Living /Senior Housing project.
Due to our completion of an MND for both the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) project and Segundo
Business Park project, we are familiar with the issues unique to the City of El Segundo. Our participation in public
meetings for both projects has given us insight into the local community's concerns for the project area. This additional
experience even better prepares us to assist the City with the environmental clearance process for the proposed project.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal for the Assisted Living /Senior Housing Project. If selected;
PBS &J is agreeable to execute the City's Professional Services Agreement and will provide proof of insurance as noted
in the Agreement. If you have any questions or would like more information about our proposal, please feel free to
contact me at 310.268.8132 or by email at rkthomas@pbsj.com.

Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
Consistently, the PBS &J team completes its projects on
time and on budget.
The structure of PBS &J permits us to assign the
substantial input of principal and senior staff to the
environmental review process. This enables the City to
benefit from the considerable insight and creativity we
have gained through work on comparable projects.
Our staff is recognized as leading experts in CEQA.
We continue to be involved in conducting university
and professional seminars that instruct others how
to prepare CEQA analyses. Members of our project
management team have provided CEQA and planning
instruction for the University of California extension
programs, AEP seminars, and other private- and public -
sector environmental organizations. Additionally, our
staffs membership in such planning "think tanks" as the
California Planning Roundtable further demonstrates
the acknowledged excellence of our expertise.
SCHEDULE & COST CONTROL
PBS &J is committed to completing the environmental
review process for the Assisted Living /Senior Housing
project within the proposed schedule and budget. A
detailed schedule for completion is provided in Section 5,
and the budget is provided in
Section 6. PBS &J employs
a variety of computerized
project management systems
to oversee project costs
and schedule adherence.
We use our regular project
team meetings as a tool for
maintaining continuous
communication and for
closely monitoring cost
and schedule performance.
charges that substantially vary from the budget contained
in the detailed work program can be withheld by the
project manager to maintain cost controls.
The dedication of a core staff for projects and the experience
of the project management team assigned for this project
will enable us to complete work on schedule. Because of the
depth of staff resources available at PBS &J, we can bring
additional professionals from our other offices to help during
particularly intense work periods, if necessary. PBS &J has
a well - earned reputation for completing quality work on
accelerated schedules. Our experienced staff, well- defined
procedures, and strong appreciation of our clients' needs and
expectations have contributed to successful completion of
the most challenging and daunting of schedules. Last year we
completed the environmental review process for the Segundo
Business Park Project within four months of project kickoff.
The PBS &J team is committed to providing quality
professional services. To accomplish this goal, our efforts
are focused on meeting contractual obligations and
commitments, and on protecting the health and welfare
of the public that uses the facilities we are proposing to
improve. Our professional services are therefore based on
sound principles and meet high standards of professional
practice. To meet these high standards, we propose the
PBS &J's project management
team will receive weekly reports of labor hours expended
on a project, and biweekly reports of labor and other direct
costs. It is the project management team's responsibility
to compare project costs against the budget and to justify
any variances. The project manager must also review and
approve all invoices for other direct cost expenses. Any
following management
approach: A project work
plan and associated quality
control plan will be written
by the project manager as a
first order of work.
The project work plan
identifies milestones and
specifies quality control
reviewers for the production
and review of each task and
deliverable. The project
manager conducts a kickoff meeting with appropriate
members of the project team before any production
begins. The work plan, quality control plan, and project
instructions are presented by the project manager. Periodic
team meetings are conducted to review progress and assess
project completion. In -house reviews are conducted at

key deliverable milestones. Periodic review /critique and
continuous interaction with the City will help assure
complete understanding of the project needs and concerns.
PBS &J takes pride in the quality of the services we
provide and the products we produce. All members of
the PBS &J project team strive
to make sure that each project
is of the highest feasible quality,
meeting or exceeding the needs
and expectations of our clients.
Proactive communication and
coordination with the City are
determining factors in the success of projects for all
parties involved. We will take an aggressive approach in
developing the proper documentation and approval process
with City staff at critical decision points and milestones.
All correspondence will be directed through our project
manager, who will be responsible for confirming that all
information is passed on to team members. Periodic team
meetings will be held to verify that the schedule identified
in the work plan is being followed. The results of these
meetings will be furnished to the City via progress reports.
We have found this process for project management
and quality control to be an invaluable tool for assuring
high - quality work products and deliverables as well as
maintaining projects on schedule and within budget
on a consistent basis. Most importantly, we will execute
this contract as a true extension of your staff — honest,
accountable, and effective. This approach is our
commitment to bringing the City of El Segundo the level
of services that continues to make PBS &J the consultant of
choice for environmental planning.

proposed project, and Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc.,
will prepare the traffic study for the proposed project. The
following paragraphs highlight PBS &J's experience within
El Segundo and the surrounding area on a variety of
environmental and planning projects.
QUALIFICATIONS
El Segundo Segundo Business Park IS /MND
City of [I Segundo
At the request of the City of El Segundo, PBS &J prepared
the IS and MND for a proposed Segundo Business Park
project located at 222 Kansas Street. The proposed project
site formerly housed International Rectifier Corporation
(IRC), a worldwide supplier of power semiconductors
that convert electrical energy to operate power supplies,
lighting ballasts, and motor drives. When owned by IRC,
the property was classified as a heavy manufacturing
facility that treats and /or disposes of liquid or semi -solid
waste. The site is now undeveloped and is being used
as a construction staging area. A temporarily capped oil
well, leased by Granier Oil, is located on the southern
portion of the project site. The oil well is considered by
the City to be a legal non - conforming use on the site. The
proposed project would result in the development of an
88,249- square -foot (sf) business park (for commercial
office and light industrial uses) on a vacant 4.7 -acre parcel.
The proposed development would comprise six new
multi - tenant LEED- compliant structures in a campus
setting with surface parking on a 4.5 -acre portion of the
site. The remaining 0.2 -acre space would be offered for
dedication to the City. Buildings would be designed as
multi -unit commercial and industrial "condominiums,"
which would require the City's approval for a subdivision
to allow the existing lot to be subdivided into 55 units.
The oil well located on the project site would be operated
under lease by Grainer Oil. In accordance with a proposed
condition of approval required by the El Segundo Fire
Department, proposed structures would be built no closer
than 50 feet from the oil well wellhead. This requirement
would be imposed if the oil well is not permanently capped
before development of the Segundo Business Park. The
proposed project also proposes a lot line adjustment with
two adjacent parcels east of the site along Grand Avenue.
Due to funding issues, the schedule for the Segundo
Business Park project was greatly expedited. PBS &J
was able to complete the environmental review process

within four months of the kickoff meeting. Key issues
for the project included hazards and hazardous materials,
mineral resources, and traffic and circulation. This project
was completed on the expedited schedule and under the
proposed budget.
El Segundo MEPS IS /MND
City of 0 Segundo
At the request of the City of El Segundo, PBS &J prepared
the IS and MND for a proposed MEPS to be located
at 1700 East Grand Avenue. The property was home
to Aerojet, which used the manufacturing buildings for
machining steel and titanium parts for the aerospace and
defense industries. The structures were demolished, and
the soil on site has been remediated by SCS Engineers
and certified by the El Segundo Fire Department. The
Department of Conservation, Division of Oil, Gas, and
Geothermal Resources, concluded that a well located
on the project site has been abandoned or re- abandoned
to current Department of Conservation standards. The
proposed project will consist of one 32,980 -sf concrete
tilt -up building on 4.25 acres of land, with a floor to area
ratio (FAR) of 0. 18, and will be two stories (35 feet) high.
The proposed
project also
includes
83,510 sf
of private
recreation
outdoor
space. The
building will
be leased
to the U.S.
government
by the applicant (Mar Canyon Grand, LLC) and will
house a MEPS facility consisting primarily of office
and medical uses. The MEPS facility will offer medical,
physical, and written examinations and provide
administrative support services for new recruits into the
armed forces before being sent to basic training. Recruits
will be housed at a nearby hotel and transported to and
from the project site by bus. Key issues for the project
included hazardous materials, traffic and circulation, and
risk of terrorist threats. This project was completed on time
and under the proposed budget.
El Segundo Marine Oil Terminal EIR
Subconsultant to Kennedylienks for the City of El Segundo
PBS &J assisted with preparation of an EIR for the El
Segundo Marine Oil Terminal project. The project involved
exercising an option to renew an existing lease by the
California State Lands Commission for continuation of
operations at the Chevron Marine Terminal, located on the
eastern shoreline of Santa Monica Bay west of the City of
El Segundo in Los Angeles County. The marine terminal
consisted of onshore facilities adjacent to the coastline,
and offshore facilities that include pipelines and moorings.
PBS &J served as a subcontractor for preparation of certain
EIR sections including terrestrial biological resources, noise,
environmental justice, socioeconomic, aesthetics, and land
use. This project was completed on time and within the
proposed budget.
El Segundo General Plan Update and EIR
City of N Segundo
PBS &J prepared a number of General Plan Elements and
a Program EIR as part of a comprehensive update of the
El Segundo General Plan. PBS &J provided compliance
with the South Coast Air Quality Management Plan and
State Implementation Plan by preparing an Air Quality
Element and Air Quality Action Plan for the General Plan,
which were provided as separate documents to allow the
City flexibility in modifying and updating implementation
programs without requiring the amendment of the General
Plan. Other General Plan Elements prepared by PBS &J
included noise and public safety.
The Program EIR prepared by PBS &J served as an
integral part of the General Plan process, providing a
review of the General Plan for consistency and adequacy
of policies in reducing impacts associated with changes
proposed in the City's Land Use Plan. The comprehensive
document analyzed a full range of environmental issues.
Critical issues included transportation and noise impacts
from the Century Freeway and Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX), as well as hazardous materials and

land use compatibility issues related to the city's large
industrial base.
Given the self - mitigating nature of a well - prepared
General Plan and requirements for annual General Plan
review, PBS &J provided the City with an Environmental
Consistency Checklist in lieu of a Mitigation Monitoring
Program. This project was completed on time and within
the proposed budget.
El Segundo Circulation Element Update
Focused Supplemental EIR
City of E1 Segundo
The City of El Segundo selected PBS &J to prepare a
Focused Supplemental EIR on the City's Circulation
Element Update, which was prepared by Meyer,
Mohaddes Associates, Inc. (now Iteris). The scope of
the Element included developing the baseline analysis
(i.e., major approved and active projects list, vacant land
survey, and vacant and recyclable buildings), confirming
or revising future roadway right -of -way (ROW) widths
and configuration, reviewing the Downtown Specific
Plan, analyzing residential parcel data by Traffic Analysis
Zone (TAZ), refining or eliminating four roadway
extensions, reviewing the Truck Route Master Plan and
Bicycle Master Plan, and evaluating the implications of
eliminating the Nash - Douglas one -way couplet from
the Circulation Element. The EIR focused on traffic, air,
and noise impacts resulting from implementation of the
Circulation Element Update. This project was completed
on time and within the proposed budget.
Huntington Beach Senior Center EIR
(ity of Huntington gearlt
PBS &J prepared an EIR for the City of Huntington Beach
Senior Center. The proposed project is for development
of a 45,000 -sf senior center on 5 acres within the City's
Central Park. The project was driven by the passage
of Measure T in the November 2006 election, which
proposed the new senior center at the currently identified
project location; availability of funds due to an owner
participation agreement for a downtown development;
and the inadequacy of an existing senior center. Potential
controversial issues included biological issues and loss of
existing open space, geotechnical and archaeological issues,
traffic and potential issues with senior citizens' driving, and
aesthetics of the proposed new development. This project
was completed on time and within the proposed budget.
3575 Geary Boulevard Senior Health Facility
and Senior Housing EIR
City of Son F=65(0
PBS &J prepared an EIR for a senior health facility and
senior housing located at 3575 Geary Boulevard in San
Francisco. Bridge Housing Corporation and the Institute
on Aging (IOA) worked on a partnership to develop a
mixed -use senior center at the Coronet Theater site in the
Richmond District of San Francisco. The first two floors
(approximately 67,000 sf) were to be devoted to IOAs
offices, service facilities, and approximately 30 transitional
housing units. The remaining four stories were to provide
an additional 120 one- and two- bedroom units affordable
to seniors at or below 50 percent of median income, for
a total of 150 units. The project totaled approximately
230,000 gross square feet.
The Coronet Theater, one of the remaining single- screen
theaters in San Francisco, was to be demolished as
part of the project. As a potential historic resource, the
Coronet Theater could be affected, so the City's Planning
Department required preparation of a focused EIR. The
final historic resources study found that the theater was
not, in fact, an architectural resource under CEQA. The
EIR responded in detail to neighborhood issues and
opposition related to the scale of the project (which met
zoning and height requirements, but was on a site adjacent
to lower - scale, single - family residential uses), traffic and
parking issues, and controversy over the historic evaluation
of the Coronet Theatre. PBS &J completed a lengthy
Comments and Response document, and also supported
the Planning Department during an appeal at the Board
of Supervisors. The project approvals have been upheld,
and the project is under construction. This project was
completed on time and within the proposed budget.

Services for the New School Construction
Program
Los Angeles Unified Sfhool District
PBS &J has been working with the Los Angeles Unified
School District (LAUSD) since 2003 in preparing site -
specific environmental documents for new schools to be
built as part of Phase I of its New School Construction
Program. Under PBS &J's initial three -year Master Services
Agreement (2004 -2007) with LAUSD, we prepared more
than 15 EIRs for elementary schools, middle schools, and
high schools throughout Los Angeles County. Several of
the projects have included unique historical resource issues
that required thorough investigation and analysis. Issues
related to new school projects in general involve traffic
and circulation, pedestrian safety, parking, noise at nearby
residences, and hazardous material and safety issues related
to redeveloping commercial /light industrial properties.
High school projects have also had challenging issues
related to the lighting of play fields and football stadiums.
The primary objective is to ensure the safety of students
and faculty. As a high - profile agency, LAUSD projects are
highly scrutinized by the public and reviewing agencies,
but PBS &J has successfully prepared legally defensible
documents that have not been challenged. We have also
facilitated meetings and workshops with communities that
are often not in support of a proposed school project. As a
result of our dedicated work with LAUSD, we have been
awarded a subsequent five -year Master Services Agreement
(2007 -2012) to continue the preparation of environmental
documents for Phase II of the New School Construction
Program. PBS &J recently completed EIRs for two
elementary school projects under the new Master Services
Agreement. All projects were completed on time and within
or under the proposed budget.
Exposition Corridor Phase 2 EIR /EIS
los Angeles Metropolitan fronsportation Authority WIA)
Following the approval by the Los Angeles MTA of a
Program EIR /Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for
transit improvements in the Exposition Corridor in 2002,
MTA moved forward with design of a light rail system for
the segment from downtown Los Angeles to Culver City.
MTA has now embarked on Phase 2, which is examining
extension of the transit improvements from Culver City
westward toward the system's terminus in Santa Monica.
As a member of the AECOM team, PBS &J is providing
technical support and expertise for the required EIR /EIS.
The environmental document being prepared pursuant to
CEQA and NEPA focuses on traffic, noise, air quality, and
visual and land use compatibility. PBS &J was instrumental
in securing this major award, because of its earlier
involvement as the environmental lead for the Program
EIR /EIS and its long working relationship with the Federal
Transit Administration, the lead federal agency. This project
was completed on time and within the proposed budget.
Inglewood General Plan Update and EIR
City of Inglewood
PBS &J prepared a comprehensive General Plan Update
and Master EIR for the City of Inglewood. Inglewood is
a built -out urban community of approximately 9 square
miles and a population of 112,000 located in the South
Bay region of Los Angeles, east and adjacent to LAX.
The city is currently undergoing substantial revitalization
along Century Boulevard, a major commercial corridor, in
addition to new residential infill projects adjacent to the
City's sports /entertainment complex, which includes the
Forum and the Hollywood Park Racetrack and Casino.
The updated General Plan was designed to address future
growth in the city with a special focus on community
livability, provision of infrastructure and services, jobs
creation, and public safety. It also addressed possible reuse

Carson Terminal EIR
City of Carson
PBS &J is preparing an EIR for the Carson Terminal
project. Shell Oil Products US is proposing the
redevelopment of its former petroleum refinery site of
approximately 446 acres, which will help eliminate blight
and promote economic development. Shell is proposing
development of a biodiesel manufacturing facility that
will process on the order of 100 million gallons per year of
biodiesel (B -100) by combining quantities of deodorized
animal fats and /or vegetable oils with methanol utilizing
an acid catalyst. The proposed project includes additional
light industrial storage and distribution facilities. The
project will also allow for subsequent development 0 5
to 25 years from project start date) of additional product
storage tanks and light industrial storage. In addition,
the City plans to relocate its maintenance yard and
other facilities, including a construction and demolition
recycling facility, to the site.
Printed on Recycled Paper
PBS &J Proposal # 04 1 3 01772 1 J 1 10
The project site is currently being used for tank product
storage and distribution, as well as chemical plant
operations, related office facilities, and support activities.
The project site has historically been used for tank product
storage, product distribution, chemical plant operations,
facility offices, and a petroleum refinery. In the 1990s,
the petroleum refinery complex was dismantled, and this
portion of the site has remained undeveloped. Key issues
to be evaluated include compatibility with established
residential neighborhoods to the north and south; air
quality effects related to increase in truck trips from 180
to 720 per day, as well as point source emissions related
to the biodiesel facility; hydrology and water quality
effects related to historic uses and reuse of the site; and
hazards related to historic and new uses. This project was
completed on time and within the proposed budget.
Kinder - Morgan Carson Terminal Expansion EIR
City of Cursor
Kinder- Morgan Energy Partners (KMEP), a major
petroleum distributor in southern California and the
southwestern United States, proposed to expand by 25
percent the existing storage capacity at its Carson Terminal
in Carson, California. This expansion would allow KMEP
to respond to existing market demand for additional
throughput for its regional petroleum distribution system,
as Carson Terminal serves as one of two major pipeline
hubs for the region. A substantial portion of the project
site encompasses an area occupied by a remnant of the
"old" Dominguez Channel, a natural drainage channel into
which runoff from the Carson Terminal currently flows.
Soil contamination exists in the channel, and the site is
currently under a cleanup- and - abatement order from the
Regional Water Quality Control Board. PBS &J prepared
an EIR that focused on air quality, human health risk, and
hazards and hazardous materials, and also addressed traffic,
hydrology, biological resources, cultural resources, and
public services and utilities.
During the EIR process, an unanticipated level of
community activity developed in opposition of the
project from groups including Communities for a Better
Environment, Natural Resources Defense Council, and
Coalition for Clean Air, challenging the adequacy of the
an Atkins cor4p9MYk -1

EIR. KMEP responded to comments on the Draft and
Final EIRs by altering the tank design to reduce emissions,
formulating a "good neighbor agreement" in collaboration
with community and environmental groups, and providing
other modifications to the project. As a result of these
changes to the project and changes in analytical approach to
air quality and traffic, PBS &J prepared a revised Draft EIR
for recirculation and responded to comments on the Revised
Draft EIR. The Revised Draft EIR, including KMEP's good
neighbor agreement and community outreach programs,
satisfied the environmental groups and many of the
community groups. The EIR was certified and the project
was subsequently approved. This project was completed on
time and within the proposed budget.
Carson Chemoil MND Peer Review
(ity of (arson
Chemoil, a major petroleum distributor in southern
California and the southwestern United States, proposed
to expand the storage capacity of its existing facility in
Carson, California. The expansion occurred adjacent to
the Kinder - Morgan Carson Terminal, which was also
in the process of expansion and for which PBS &J had
previously completed an EIR. Because of the proximity of
the Chemoil facility to the Carson Terminal and PBS &J's
experience with the City in preparing the EIR for Carson
Terminal, the City retained PBS &J on a sole- source basis
to provide a peer review of an MND prepared by Chemoil
and its consultants. This project was completed on time
and within the proposed budget.
Redevelopment Project Amendments EIR
(ity of Corson
PBS &J prepared an EIR for an amendment to two
redevelopment project areas in the city of Carson. The
proposed amendment planned to add territory to each of
the project areas. In conjunction with the amendments, the
City's Redevelopment Agency also implemented a merger
of the two existing project areas into one project area, as
permitted by State Redevelopment Law. The furthering of
strategic redevelopment was intended to distinguish the
Carson Corridor as the City's downtown area and enhance
the image of the central, civic heart of the City of Carson
as a mixed -use residential, shopping, and entertainment
destination. Implementation of the plan was intended to
achieve, among other things, elimination and prevention
of the spread of blight, development of quality affordable
housing, stimulation of private sector investment, and
development of safeguards against noise and pollution
to enhance the industrial, commercial, and residential
community. The project proceeded in conjunction with
an update of the City's General Plan. This project was
completed on time and within the proposed budget.
"Heart of the City" Specific Plan EIR
City of Redondo Bench
The City of Redondo Beach sought consulting services
to develop and analyze a revitalization strategy for the
Harbor Area including urban design, land use patterns,
traffic enhancements, creation of public spaces, financing,
and other components. The City hired the Urban Land
Institute Advisory Services Panel to conduct an initial
intensive review of the area and offer suggestions for
the early design concept. PBS &J participated in the
extensive public outreach portion of the process to confirm
desirability and feasibility of the concept, and to develop
implementation strategies by the urban design firm of
Friedman, Tung & Bottomley. After confirmation of the
project parameters, PBS &J began the environmental
impact analysis. The Master EIR included analysis of the
project on two tiers: (1) the conceptual specific plan and
other implementing ordinances are analyzed for the entire
project area; and (2) a more detailed, site - specific analysis is
being conducted for several sites within the overall project
area, providing environmental entitlement for specific
development projects. One of these sites is the AES power
generation station. An obsolete portion of the power
plant site was being relinquished and demolished, making
additional land available for other uses. This project was
completed on time and within the proposed budget.

Highway. The new commercial shopping center would
include approximately 88,000 sf of retail and service
commercial uses, 16,000 sf of office use, and both surface -
level and subterranean parking. Key issues that required
careful analysis in the EIR included traffic, parking, and
visual impacts. The EIR also evaluated the extent to
which the property could be served by existing utilities,
including water and sewer. An analysis of the growth -
inducing impacts of the proposed project was conducted,
including the potential for human health hazards posed
by electromagnetic fields from the Southern California
Edison power plant located to the west of the project site.
PBS &J also identified cumulative project impacts and
analyzed the relationship between short -term use of the
site and maintenance of long -term productivity, significant
irreversible environmental changes, alternate locations for
commercial /retail development, and other statutory items
required by CEQA. This project was completed on time
and within the proposed budget.
Downey Landing Specific Plan and EIR
City of Downey
The City of Downey selected PBS &J to prepare a Specific
Plan and EIR for redevelopment of a 160 -acre former
Rockwell /Boeing /NASA aerospace manufacturing
facility that would be redeveloped to provide retail and
commercial uses, movie studio, and public learning center,
as well as a Kaiser Permanente hospital. The project
required coordination among City departments and two
applicants, Ezralow Retail Properties for the commercial,
industrial, and studio uses, and Kaiser Permanente for the
hospital uses. The Specific Plan and EIR were developed in
tandem to create a self - mitigating project that incorporated
recommendations of the environmental review into the
plan. This allowed the documents, as a pair, to provide
sufficient flexibility for the applicants, while streamlining
the planning process for the City and minimizing the
amount of subsequent environmental review necessary for
implementation of the development proposals anticipated
under the Specific Plan. This project was completed on
time and within the proposed budget.
16th Street Outpatient Medical and Oncology
Center EIR
City of Santa Monica
PBS &J prepared an EIR for a new outpatient medical
and oncology center in the city of Santa Monica.
Implementation of the proposed project required
demolition of two unoccupied residential structures
and removal of remaining parking areas and on -site
vegetation. The demolished structures were to be replaced
by a 45,000 -sf, three -story clinic with three levels of
subterranean parking. The proposed structure includes a
pedestrian- oriented landscaped plaza, and a three -story
glass- enclosed atrium fronting the plaza surrounding a
site - specific art installation. Both pedestrian and primary
vehicular access to the project site would be from 16th
Street. The intended uses of the project includes an
outpatient surgery center and outpatient oncology clinic
providing radiation, chemotherapy, and certain related
services such as dialysis. These uses will complement the
existing hospitals' (Santa Monica —UCLA Medical Center
and St. John's Health Center) clinics, medical offices, and
nursing homes operating in the City of Santa Monicds
Hospital Area Specific Plan. The project's outpatient
surgery center and related clinics are intended to
address the needs of patients and physicians at adjacent
medical buildings and hospitals by providing additional
outpatient treatment facilities in the area. Key issues for
this project were aesthetics, land use, and traffic. This
project was completed on time and under the proposed
budget.
Ocean Avenue Hotel Project EIR
City of Santa Monica
PBS &J prepared an EIR for the Ocean Avenue Hotel
project. The project involved construction of a 75 -room
hotel with a rooftop pool, terrace and garden, subterranean
parking, and a restaurant with outdoor dining. The project
incorporated two designated city landmarks located at
1333 and 1337 Ocean Avenue that would be renovated
and restored. The components would be arranged around
a publicly accessible plaza. Total floor area for the project
is approximately 42,032 s£ The project will involve
the demolition of three buildings currently used for
Pr�,,,� o� ae�y�led Paper an Atkins company

commercial purposes. These include a two -story building
(and associated lower -level parking garage) located in the
northeastern corner of the project site in the 1337 parcel,
another two -story building located along 1st Court Alley
on the eastern edge of the project site in the 1333 parcel,
and a one -story building currently sited in the southeast
corner of the project site in the 1327 parcel. Development
of the project includes relocation of the Victorian House
located at 1333 Ocean Avenue to the 1327 Ocean Avenue
parcel. To accommodate the relocation of the Victorian
House, the existing commercial building at 1327 Ocean
Avenue will be demolished. The Victorian House will
remain on site during all construction activities. The
project will retain most of the Spanish Colonial Revival
building located at 1337 Ocean Avenue, except for an
816 -sf portion of the rear fagade (eastern portion) of the
building, which will be demolished and replaced with the
contemporary lobby that links this building to the new
hotel room wing.
Although, it was anticipated that the project would be
controversial from a cultural resources standpoint, it was
well- received by the public, and most of the controversy
centered on air quality issues. The Final EIR was certified
by City Council in April 2007. The second official reading
of the certification was on May 8, 2007. The project was
completed on time and under budget.
North Main Street Mixed -Use Development EIR
City of Santa monica
PBS &J prepared an EIR for a mixed -use development
project located in one of the City of Santa Monicds
most important commercial corridors —Main Street.
The project included construction of two mixed -use
buildings on two non - contiguous sites located across
from each other on Main Street. The first building
(west project) was a four - story, 35 -foot building over
a three -level subterranean parking garage and involved
construction of both residential and commercial uses.
One component of this building was a text amendment
application to allow the Main Street elevation to be
defined as the front yard for the proposed street -level
residential uses. The text amendment also determined
setback requirements and the location of residential-
and pedestrian- oriented uses. The second building
(east project) was a three - story, 27 -foot building over a
two -level subterranean parking garage, and also involved
construction of both residential and commercial uses.
The 1.03 -acre parcel was developed with a vacant and
potentially historic bakery and restaurant (the famous
Pioneer Boulangerie). The EIR provided a thorough
analysis of the existing structures' contribution to this
district. Issues evaluated in the EIR included traffic and
circulation, cultural resources, neighborhood impacts,
population and housing, and geology, among others.
This project was completed on time and within the
proposed budget.
Santa Monica Land Use Element /Zoning Code
Update and EIR
City of Santa Monica
PBS &J prepared an Opportunities and Challenges Report
as part of the General Plan Land Use Element and Zoning
Code process for the City of Santa Monica, an effort that
was last accomplished about 20 years ago. The existing
General Plan defined a vision for the City and its growth.
Now that the City is nearly built out with few remaining
vacant "opportunity sites" to serve as vehicles for further
growth, the current effort will focus on opportunities
for redevelopment while respecting the character of the
city's distinct neighborhoods and removing obstacles
to connections among the neighborhoods. The effort
will also ultimately result in an appraisal of the City's
planning process, CEQA process, and CEQA thresholds to
determine ways in which residents and potential developers
alike could be better served.

PBS &J was also responsible for preparation of the EIR
for the project. PBS &J tested the City's thresholds of
significance and Land Use Element policies and zoning
regulations to determine the effectiveness of the proposed
policies and land use patterns in reducing potential
environmental impacts. This integration assisted the City
in generating alternative land use patterns and /or policies
to address known and unanticipated issues arising from the
analysis. This project was completed on time and within
the proposed budget.
MTA Transportation ROW Zoning Ordinance
Amendment for a Transportation Preservation
District IS /ND
City of Santa Monica
PBS &J was contracted by the City of Santa Monica to
conduct an evaluation of the proposed MTA Transportation
ROW Zoning Ordinance Amendment and prepare an IS/
ND. The proposed project consisted of an amendment to
the City of Santa Monica Zoning Ordinance to designate
the 100 - foot -wide Los Angeles MTA transportation ROW
within the city as a Transportation Preservation (TP)
District. The MTA ROW (extending from Seventeenth
Street, south of Colorado Avenue, to the east city limits,
south of Olympic Boulevard) is within the city's Light
Manufacturing Studio District (LMSD) and the Industrial
Conservation District (M1). The majority of ROW within
the city is vacant, with portions being used for surface
parking, building material storage, temporary construction
staging, plant nursery stock, and vehicle impound /junk
yards. In addition, there are a limited number of relatively
small structures in the project area. The surrounding area
includes a variety of commercial, light industrial, and film
studio uses.
At the time of preparation of the IS /ND, any use of ROW
for purposes other than transportation- related activities
requires a Conditional Use Permit. To date, approved use
of ROW has been very limited to date. In other words,
the majority of uses within the ROW are unauthorized.
The proposed TP district is intended to facilitate approval
of land uses consistent with the City's General Plan
and the City's goal to re- establish the ROW for public
transportation use. However, the new TP district will have
impacts on the existing unpermitted uses that cannot be
legalized pursuant to provisions of the existing LMSD,
M1, or the proposed TP districts. As such, potential
impacts of the new TP district were evaluated with respect
to the City's goal of improved transportation planning.
This project was completed on time and within the
proposed budget.
New Roads Educational Village EIR
City of Santa Monica
Located in the eastern portion of the city of Santa Monica,
the New Roads Educational Village proposes to provide
a permanent location for all of the New Roads School
campuses on one site, with accompanying athletic and
cultural facilities to serve students and the community.
Project implementation included demolition of the
existing school facility on 2.7 acres to implement new
structures for a preschool, elementary school, middle
school, high school, library, gymnasium, 350 -seat
performing arts theater, dance /yoga classrooms, children's
center with art studio, museum and gallery, and shared
administrative offices. New structures would total
approximately 115,300 sf over a 224 -space subterranean
garage. Additionally, outdoor play areas for both pre-
school and the elementary school would be included on
the campus.
PBS &J prepared the EIR for the New Roads Educational
Village for the City of Santa Monica. The EIR analyzed
potential impacts associated with geology and soils, air
quality, noise, land use and planning, transportation,
aesthetics, hazardous materials, construction effects, and
neighborhood effects. All environmental impacts resulting
from implementation of the New Roads Educational
Village would be less than significant, with the exception
of increased traffic on the operating conditions of nearby
intersections. This impact would be significant and
unavoidable. Two alternatives to the proposed project
were analyzed and included the "No Project" alternative,
as well as a reduced intensity alternative. This project was
completed on time and within the proposed budget.

Santa Monica New Main Library EIR
City of Santa Monica
PBS &J prepared the EIR for the Santa Monica New Main
Library project, which involves replacing the existing
library at 1343 Sixth Street. In addition to traditional
library services, the 53,353 -sf New Main Library would
also provide a library store, an auditorium, space for the
Santa Monica Historical Society Museum, and a courtyard
with a cafe and outdoor seating. The EIR analyzed 13
technical issues, with the most sensitive issues related
to aesthetics and transportation, specifically design of
the new library and potential light and shadow impacts.
Adequate parking on site was also important to the City.
PBS &J crafted careful mitigation to reduce impacts of the
proposed project. This project was completed on time and
within the proposed budget.
Seaview Court Condominiums IS /MND
City of Santa Monica
PBS &J prepared an IS /MND to evaluate the impacts of
a three - story, 11 -unit condominium complex (30,698 sf)
in the Santa Monica Waterfront area. The project site,
located on a steep bluff, was vacant prior to development.
In general, the project area was urbanized and the site
itself is located approximately 165 feet east of the public
beach promenade. However, the vacant project site was
surrounded by single- family residences to the east and
south; Seaview Terrace, a historical walk street along
the southern boundary of the project site; and to the
immediate north, an eight -story Columbia- Sussex Hotel.
Mitigation was developed for impacts to city groundwater
resulting from construction of the subterranean parking
garage. Aesthetic impacts of the project on adjacent
residential units due to the blockage of ocean views were
an issue of major concern to area residents and the City. In
addition, development of the new condominium complex
next to the historic Seaview Terrace Walk was a topic of
controversy due to potential design incompatibilities.
Other issues of concern analyzed in the IS /MND
included parking impacts, shade and shadow impacts,
and construction effects such as fugitive dust emission
and noise pollution. The IS /MND format used by PBS &J
subsequently became a model document for all City IS/
MNDs. This project was completed on time and within
the proposed budget.
Santa Monica College Parking Structure B
Replacement EIR
City of Santa Morliea
PBS &J prepared an EIR for the City of Santa Monica
to address the impacts of replacing a five -level parking
structure at the Santa Monica College campus due to
damage sustained during the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
The new structure would be located at the site of the
existing Santa Monica City College pool, which was in the
interior portion of the campus. The pool was then moved
to the perimeter of campus. Issue areas included geology,
air quality, noise, aesthetics, construction effects, land use,
and neighborhood effects. This project was completed on
time and within the proposed budget.
Rose Bowl Stadium Renovation Project EIR
City of Pasadena
The City of Pasadena owns and operates the Rose Bowl
Stadium through the Rose Bowl Operating Company
(RBOC), which manages the Rose Bowl Stadium and
nearby Brookside Golf Course. RBOC is a California
nonprofit, public benefit corporation the City created in
1995. RBOC's primary purpose is to enhance economic
and civic value for the City by managing a world -class
stadium and a professional - quality golf course complex
in a residential and open space neighborhood. Through
the RBOC, the City sought to ensure sustainable long-

term revenue as well as adequate funding for future capital
improvements at the Rose Bowl, considered necessary to
ensure new financial commitments by existing or new
tenants, and thus the long -term financial viability of the
Rose Bowl. RBOC retained Moag & Company to secure
an NFL team for the Rose Bowl. Implementation of the
proposed project called for discretionary actions by the
City to enable an NFL franchise to play home games at
Rose Bowl Stadium. These actions included a contract/
lease governing
operation of Rose
Bowl Stadium as
a home site for an
NFL franchise,
and renovation/
rebuilding of
the stadium to
comply with NFL
requirements.
The City of
Pasadena retained
PBS &J to prepare an EIR for the proposed renovations and
discretionary actions required. This was a highly visible,
extremely controversial project with potential conflicts
between attorneys for RBOC and Moag & Company,
whose interests in the project differed. There was substantial
public comment, particularly from adjacent residential
neighborhoods that could have been significantly impacted
by increased noise, as well as from city residents regarding
general traffic increases over a wide area. Other significant
issues raised included quality of life, air quality, preservation
of the historic structure, and visual quality. The EIR was
certified, but City Council failed to take action to approve
or disapprove the project. This project was completed on
time and within the proposed budget.
The Shops at Santa Anita Park Specific Plan EIR
Cr#y of Arcadia
In 2005 the owners of Santa Anita Racetrack partnered
with Caruso Affiliated Holdings (Caruso), developers
of The Grove in Los Angeles, to begin an entitlement
process that would ultimately allow development of a
signature project on racetrack property. Ultimately, a
Specific Plan was prepared that identified 829,250 sf
of commercial entertainment uses organized around a
central, north -south pedestrian boulevard, connecting
the southern entrance of the proposed development at
Huntington Drive to the existing and expanded Paddock
Garden area and Grandstand to the north. Development
within the commercial entertainment zone is designed to
follow architectural and planning principles that respect
and reinforce the grandstand's role as the dominant
architectural feature on the site. New buildings would
be placed a distance away from the grandstand to allow
expansive views of its overall length as visitors move north
and south along Main Street. The grandstand structure
would anchor the northern end of the development with
restaurant and other entertainment uses overlooking the
Paddock Garden, thereby creating a sense of place between
the grandstand and the proposed project as integrated
elements. Much like The Grove in Los Angeles, the Shops
at Santa Anita Park will contain a new wireless electric
trolley traveling on fixed rails between the expanded
Paddock Garden at the north end of Main Street and the
water feature and promenade at the south end of Main
Street. Additionally, the racetrack would consolidate
existing media facilities into a new state -of -the -art 98,000 -
sf simulcast center in the grandstand seating area to allow
a first -class experience when viewing racing events from
around the United States.
PBS &J was selected to prepare the EIR for the proposed
project and to play a critical role as part of the entitlement
team, which consisted of the City of Arcadia, racetrack,
Caruso, and the law firm of DLA Piper Rudnick. PBS &J
was the primary author of the EIR and, in that capacity,
prepared, commissioned, and /or reviewed all technical
documentation necessary to support the EIR. The EIR
and entitlement process lasted nearly three years, and
ultimately the City of Arcadia Planning Commission and
City Council unanimously certified the EIR and approved
the project.
The primary issue associated with development on
racetrack property was the potential for direct and indirect
impacts to the grandstand and associated structures. The
Santa Anita Racetrack is listed on the National Register
of Historic Places for its historical and architectural
associations. The project would require demolition of the

South Ticket Gates and the Saddling Barn, both of which
are in the Paddock Garden, to provide unobstructed views
from the commercial entertainment zone to the south
of the iconic grandstand structure. A smaller version of
the original semicircular 1934 Saddling Barn would be
constructed in the same location as the original Saddling
Barn in the western portion of the Paddock Garden. The
reconfigured Paddock Garden was carefully designed so
that the pre -race pageantry and parade of horses from the
Saddling Barn through the Paddock Garden and Walking
Circle, and ultimately to the racetrack, would be preserved
and that public viewing would be available to visitors of
the commercial entertainment zone to the south.
A unique aspect of the EIR was the noise analysis, which
required evaluation of construction - related noise and
vibration effects on the valuable and sensitive race horses that
are stabled at the racetrack throughout the year. This project
was completed on time and within the proposed budget.
Malibu Middle and High School Campus
Improvements Project EIR
Santa Monim — Malibu Uuiiied School district
PBS &J is preparing an EIR for the Santa Monica — Malibu
Unified School District (SMMUSD) for the Malibu
Middle /High School Campus Improvements project.
Redevelopment would include 21 new classrooms and
three new science labs totaling approximately 25,000 sf,
a new 10,000 -sf library, and 8,000 sf of administrative
offices. The proposed project also includes new staff
parking and visitor parking areas as well as a new student
drop- off /pick -up area to be developed in coordination
with the adjacent Cabrillo Elementary School. Additional
project components include a new synthetic turf athletic
field with permanent field lighting, two new tennis courts,
and a new high school common area. The athletic field,
library, and meeting rooms would likely be available for
community use as well as joint use with the Santa Monica
College Satellite Campus located on the project site. Of
particular concern is the installation of field lights as well
as potential impacts to scenic views, biological species, and
increased traffic and associated noise of the field lighting.
PBS &J has facilitated extensive community outreach on
behalf of SMMUSD.
Downtown Glendale Specific Plan Program EIR
Oty of Glendale
The City of Glendale was in the process of preparing a
Specific Plan for downtown revitalization to further the
City's goals of providing a lively pedestrian experience
and visitor - friendly destination in the downtown area.
The Specific Plan provided a set of policies and design
guidelines for height, densities, architectural features,
preservation of historic buildings, and transit - oriented
improvements to facilitate the City's vision. PBS &J was
retained to prepare a program -level EIR for the Specific
Plan that would inform the planning process to facilitate
development of Specific Plan policies with minimal
environmental impacts. Issues of primary concern were
land use, aesthetics, and visual quality (particularly with
regard to existing viewsheds); cultural resources and
historic buildings; and traffic. Mitigation measures from
the previously prepared Glendale Town Center EIR were
also incorporated, as it was situated within the Specific
Plan area. This project developed in an area with a highly
engaged and active citizenry and was subject to a high
level of scrutiny. PBS &J's goals were to prepare a legally
defensible, comprehensive Program EIR that the City could
use to further its vision for the revitalization of downtown
in a cohesive and practical manner. This project was
completed on time and within the proposed budget.

Beach Boulevard- Edinger Avenue Corridor Study
(Specific Plan) EIR
City of Huntington Beach
PBS &J is currently preparing an EIR for the Beach
Boulevard- Edinger Avenue Corridor Study (Specific
Plan) project for the City of Huntington Beach. Beach
Boulevard, designated State Route 39, is a principal
arterial street (City of Huntington Beach General Plan)
and the main path of travel through Huntington Beach
from Interstate 405 (I -405) to the beach. Edinger Avenue,
which intersects Beach Boulevard near I -405, is a major
east -west arterial. Primary land uses along Edinger Avenue
include the Bella Terra Regional Shopping Mall, various
commercial strip centers, and Goldenwest Community
College. An active rail line bisects Edinger Avenue just
east of Gothard Avenue. The Corridor Study is intended
to determine and implement a clear and comprehensive
vision for growth and change along Beach Boulevard
and Edinger Avenue. The specific configuration for new
public and private investment along the corridor will be
determined by a planning process involving City officials,
citizens, stakeholders, and City staff. Specifications to
guide land use and development intensity, site layout,
building design, site landscaping, and signage will be
detailed in the Corridor Study. Land use and development
standards will be drafted to replace preexisting zoning
regulations, and to assist the community to more
effectively attract investment and improve the evolving
image and identity of the City along these areas.
Bella Terra Phase II Mixed -Use Redevelopment
EIR
City of Huntington Real
PBS &J recently completed an EIR for the proposed
Bella Terra Phase II project for the City of Huntington
Beach. The project site is bordered by a railroad ROW
and commercial property. The 15.86 -acre project site
contains two buildings formerly occupied by Montgomery
Wards. The Montgomery Wards building was originally
an anchor tenant of the former Huntington Beach Mall,
which was developed in 1967 as one of the first enclosed
shopping malls in southern California. Montgomery
Wards vacated the building in 2001. Phase II of the Bella
Terra development includes an 840,190 -sf, multi - level,
mixed -use retail, office, and residential development,
excluding structured parking. Phase II of Bella Terra will
be developed in five blocks, ranging in height from two
stories to five or six stories. The proposed project requires a
General Plan Amendment and a Zoning Text Amendment.
Unique issues for this project are traffic and utilities
infrastructure. This project was completed on time and
under the proposed budget.
The Ripcurl Mixed -Use Redevelopment EIR
City of Huntington Beach
PBS &J recently completed an EIR for the proposed
Ripcurl project for the City of Huntington Beach. The
proposed project, known as "The Ripcurl," is located across
from Golden West Community College and is bordered
by the Southern Pacific Railroad ROW and commercial
property. Southern California Edison owns a small site
with two transmission towers that abut the project site
at its northeast corner. The existing land use comprises
approximately 59,826 sf of commercial space in one- and
two -story buildings and is known as the College Country
Center. The space is approximately 90 percent leased with
45 tenants. The shopping center was constructed in 1979
consists of four retail buildings and a two -story office
building. The applicant is proposing to ultimately develop
up to 500 luxury residential units in five residential stories
located above approximately 15,000 sf of street -level retail
and commercial uses. The proposed project will require

PBS &J prepared an Addendum to a Supplemental EIR
for a resort -style hotel and conference center, a 500 -unit
residential development, and a 900 -space parking garage
located in the city of Huntington Beach. The project
was located within the boundaries of the coastal zone
on a historic, though degraded, wetland complex. As
such, impacts to biological resources were of primary
consideration in the environmental document. In
addition, due to the magnitude and location of the
project, traffic and circulation, geology, and visual
impacts were of paramount concern. A portion of
the site was located within the City's Redevelopment
Project Area; therefore, the Redevelopment Agency,
though not the lead agency, played a prominent role
in the development of the environmental document.
The Addendum was certified, without incident, by City
Council. This project was completed on time and within
the proposed budget.

Huntington Beach Newland Street Residential
Project EIR
City of Huntington Heoeh
The Newland Street Residential Project, located in the city
of Huntington Beach, involved conversion of a former
industrial site to a residential development with 204
multi- family residential units. PBS &J was responsible for
completing an EIR for the project, as well as supporting
technical studies and public outreach in compliance
with CEQA guidelines. The project was located on
a 25.3 -acre site formerly used as an oil pipeline and
storage tank terminal, for which decommissioning and
remediation has been completed. The project provided
much - needed medium - density residential housing in a
highly desirable location in proximity to the coast within
the built -out City of Huntington Beach. Key features of
the proposed development included 204 multi - family
residential units (81 duplex townhomes, 123 triplex
units); building heights of two and three stories; General
Plan Amendment from current designation I -F2 -d
(Industrial -0.50 Floor Area Ratio- Design Overlay) to new
designation RM (Medium Density Residential); zone
change from current zone IL -FP2 (Limited Industrial -
Flood Plain) to new zone RM (Medium Density
Residential - Floodplain); infrastructure improvements
necessary to serve proposed development; private open
space with each residential unit, community open space
amenities, and 2 -acre public park dedication; increase of
site elevation by approximately 5 to 6 feet via import of
fill soil, to avoid future flood hazard issues; and project
design to avoid impacts to adjacent wetlands. Because
some areas were potential wetlands and subject to Clean
Water Act regulation, PBS &J was retained to perform
a Jurisdictional Delineation of the site. 'his project was
completed on time and within the proposed budget.

El Segundo
The City of El Segundo was incorporated in 1917. In
Spanish, the name El Segundo means "the second," for
the second Standard Oil refinery located in California.
The El Segundo plant was established in the early part of
the century. The town surrounding the refinery eventually
developed with single - family homes to house the workers
of the plant.
El Segundo is considered part of the South Bay sub - region
in the southwestern edge of the Los Angeles Coastal Basin.
Downtown Los Angeles is located approximately 20 miles
northeast of El Segundo. The City is bounded to the north
by Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in the City of
Los Angeles; to the south by the City of Manhattan Beach;
to the west by the Pacific Ocean and City of Los Angeles;
and to the east by the City of Hawthorne and the Del
Aire area in the County of Los Angeles. The communities
of Playa Del Rey and Westchester are located just north/
northwest of the airport. Surrounding land uses act as
physical barriers around the City of El Segundo and isolate
the city from adjacent South Bay cities such as Inglewood,
Manhattan Beach, Hawthorne, and Lawndale. Regional
access to the city is provided by Interstate 110 (I -110),
Interstate 405 (I -405), and State Highway 1 (known as
Sepulveda Boulevard through the city).
Due to the city's close proximity to LAX and its history
as a company town for Standard Oil, land uses in the
city are primarily industrial businesses. According to the
City's General Plan Economic Development Element,
El Segundo is an employment -led community, with
development being led by employment rather than
population growth. The city encompasses 5.46 square
miles (3,494.4 acres), with a resident population of
approximately 17,000. The daytime (employee) population
is over 70,000, which indicates that the city's population
increases more than four times during the daytime.
The population of El Segundo has increased by 5.3 percent
over a 10 -year period with a slight increase in household
size (U.S. Census data). The fastest increases in population
in the city appear in the age categories of 5 to 14 years
and 35 to 54 years. El Segundo's population is expected to
increase from the 2004 estimate of 16,861 to 19,479 by
2030. The City has an older age profile; however, growth
over the 1990 -2000 decade was characterized by an above -
average proportion of families with children. El Segundo
is more than 80 percent white, but has experienced
above - average growth in black, Asian /Pacific islander, and
Hispanic ethnic groups between 1990 and 2000. Incomes
and housing values are significantly above average.
Residential growth in the city has been limited since
1995, with an average of about three new housing units
per year (General Plan Housing Element). This limited
growth is due in part to the city's almost entirely built -out
nature. Multi - family units account for more than one -
half of the residential units in the city, which indicates
that the building density in the city is increasing. All of
the residential population is west of Sepulveda Boulevard.
The office /commercial /industrial area east of Sepulveda
Boulevard houses the headquarters of Fortune 500
companies such as Mattel, Time Warner Cable, and SAIC,
among others, as well as a range of businesses including
aerospace and defense, information technology, industrial
design, creative arts, digital media, and travel - related
companies. El Segundo is also home to the Los Angeles
Lakers, Kings, and Sparks.
The City of El Segundo has an open space and recreation
inventory of about 213 acres. Of these 213 acres,
approximately 90 acres consist of publicly owned
resources including ten public parks, three school sites,
utility transmission corridor, golf course, driving ranger 4 1

ecaon , . 4.0roach,
recreation facility, and beach area. Due to the large daytime
population, the remaining 123 acres are privately owned
and primarily utilized by nonresidents. Due to the city's
close proximity to LAX and the prominence of industrial
land uses, development within the city could be subject to
many environmental issues including traffic, air quality,
odor, and hazardous waste.
Assisted Living /Senior Housing Project
The 5.65 -acre project site consists of six lots located on
the northern boundary of the city at 540 East Imperial
Avenue. The site is owned by ESUSD and is currently
developed with an elementary school originally built in
the early 1950s that closed in 1975. Eight single -story
structures on the project
site, totaling 22,488 sf,
served as administrative
offices and classrooms
and are no longer being
used. The project site
includes open space and
field on the northwest side of the property, currently
used for a T -ball Little League field. Between March
2008 and May 2009, ESUSD held a series of meetings
(711 Advisory Committee) to determine the best use of
the property, and decided on a plan to re- entitle the site
for lease and development of the Assisted Living /Senior
Housing project.
The project site is currently zoned for planned residential
development (PRD) and is consistent with the current
General Plan Land Use Designation of PRD. Under the
current PRD Zone,
development is limited
to a specific number
of units -29 single -
family and 36 multi-
family units. All other
development standards
are established through
the PRD approval
process. Surrounding
land uses include East Imperial Avenue, a community dog
park, Imperial Highway, and LAX to the north; R -3 lots
with multi - family residences, City Sump, and single - family
residences to the east; R -3 lots with multi - family residences
to the south; and a mortuary and single- family residences
to the west.
The proposed conceptual development involves a two -
tiered or optioned approach as follows:
Option 1 would consist of a senior living complex
with a combination of traditional age- restricted senior
housing (age 55 and older) and assisted /independent
living housing on a 5.65 -acre site. The assisted/
independent living facility would accommodate 150 to
180 beds and 100 parking spaces. The senior apartment
complex would have 130 to 150 units and 150 parking
spaces. Access to the site would be from East Imperial
Avenue.
11rdiminary l)evclopnient Sontlards
1. Maximum building height = 35 feet (three stories)
with parapets and other auxiliary structures (elevator
shafts, mechanical screens, etc.) up to 45 feet
2. Maximum floor area ratio (FAR) = 0.75
3. Maximum square footage = 175,000 sf
4. Parking ratio = one space per two beds for assisted/
independent living; one space per studio and one -
bedroom senior residential unit; and two spaces per
two- bedroom senior residential unit

Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
Option 2 would consist of a more traditional
residential development with a mix of 24 single- family
dwelling units and 45 multi- family units on private
streets. The multi- family units would front East
Imperial Avenue and take access from East Imperial
Avenue only. The single - family portion of the project
would take access from Walnut Avenue only.
Preliminary I7eveloprnent Stmidards:
1. Maximum building height = 35 feet for the multi-
family units and 26 feet for the single - family units
2. Maximum density = 27 dwelling units per acre for
the multi- family units and one dwelling unit per
5,000 -sf lot for the single - family units
3. Parking ratio = two spaces for each single - family
unit and two spaces for each multi - family unit, plus
two visitor spaces for the first three to five units and
two visitor spaces for each additional three units
The planning entitlements required include the following:
A Specific Plan to allow a maximum FAR of 0.75 for
Option 1 and increased density for Option 2
A General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to
re -zone the property from PRD to 540 East Imperial
Avenue Specific Plan
► A Zone Text Amendment to establish development
standards for the Specific Plan
A Subdivision to re- configure the existing six parcels
into seven new parcels with a "for condominium
purposes" designation for Option 1, and /or a
subdivision for 30 lots for Option 2
i A Development Agreement in order to implement the
proposed project
Approximately 20 to 25 percent of the total square footage
of the assisted/ independent living space, and 10 to 15
percent of the senior apartment complex will be dedicated
to amenities that may include a swimming /therapy pool,
fitness center, community room, library, arts and crafts
area, dining hall, bistro, garden, and a theater.
An 18- to 24 -month construction schedule is anticipated
for the proposed project. However, it is our understanding
that uses (i.e., assisted living /senior apartments) may be
built concurrently or independently. Upon completion of
construction, the senior housing project portion will be
LEED certifiable.
In addition to the proposed conceptual project, the
following alternatives to the project will be studied if an
EIR is required:
1. 'The "No Project" alternative
2. A hybrid concept with a 150 -bed assisted living
project and 20 single - family dwelling units on
individual lots
3. A 200 -unit senior apartment /condominium project
APPROACH & OBJECTIVE
The preparation of an environmental document for the
Assisted Living /Senior Housing project will be structured
as a collaboration of the PBS &J team, City staff, decision -
makers, and the community. The PBS &J team commits
to the delivery of environmental documents that will fully
comply with statutory requirements, as well as any changes
to those requirements, and will have maximum utility for
long -term implementation in achieving the City's goals
and policies. To this end, we propose a comprehensive
approach that involves:
A clearly defined and rational process of developing
technical studies and environmental analyses,
collaborating with staff and decision- makers, and
involving the public.
Avoiding "off -the -shelf boiler plate" solutions by
structuring environmental analyses and mitigation
measures that are responsive to the constantly changing
legal and regulatory environment, as well as uniquely
related to the City's goals and policies.
Using highly visual materials and modeling that
will enable City staff and decision - makers to easily
understand how the environmental analyses will
provide guidance for making a decision about the
placement of the new aquatic facilities and programs.

METHODOLOGY
PBS &J will employ several resources in preparing the
environmental document for the Assisted Living /Senior
Housing project. Resources will include the following:
City of El Segundo and its Consultants: PBS &J
will obtain and confirm all project details (i.e., project
design, technical studies, etc.) from the City, Applicant,
and any other consultants that the City may have
retained to prepare technical, economic, or feasibility
analyses. PBS &J will review the EIR currently being
prepared for the Aquatics Site Feasibility Study, as it is
applicable to the proposed project site. PBS &J will also
contact the appropriate City agencies and departments
in an effort to obtain required information regarding
public services and utilities /service systems.
Non -City Agencies: PBS &J will coordinate with
outside agencies and organizations (i.e., South
Coast Air Quality Management District; South
Central Coastal Information Center at California
State University, Fullerton; County of Los Angeles
Natural History Museum; Native American Heritage
Commission; Los Angeles Regional Water Quality
Control Board; Department of Oil, Gas and
Geothermal Resources; California Department of
Transportation; Southern California Gas Company;
and Southern California Edison) to obtain necessary
information for the proposed project, as applicable.
Information from outside sources will assist in
analyzing potential project impacts.
Non -City Technical Studies and Agency Reports:
PBS &J will obtain any technical studies or agency
reports that may be applicable to the proposed project
and /or the sites that are being considered. Obtaining
previously prepared studies that are applicable to
the proposed project allows PBS &J to identify
commonalities and areas where information sharing
can reduce the time, budget, or work needed to
produce deliverables.
Field Work: PBS &J staff will visit the potential sites to
obtain existing setting information as part of preparing
the environmental analysis. Site visits will be conducted
to determine any potential aesthetics, air quality,
biological resources, cultural resources (in particular
historic resources), hazards and hazardous materials,
noise, recreation, and traffic impacts at a minimum.
Internet: PBS &J will research potential project and
CEQA issues on the internet. The internet provides
a wealth of information about the environment in
Los Angeles and can offer details about other similar
projects in the vicinity that may be applicable. All
information obtained from the internet will be
verified from a reliable source prior to inclusion in the
environmental analysis.
Further details about PBS &J's methodology for gathering
information and preparing analysis for the Assisted Living/
Senior Housing project have been provided by CEQA issue
areas below in this Section.
DATA NEEDS
In order to achieve the objectives identified in the RFP,
PBS &J does not anticipate needing any City services or staff
resources beyond those typically required during a CEQA
process. PBS &J staff will obtain and confirm details about
the project from the City (and its Applicant) and work
with planning staff to prepare the required environmental
document. Project details would include, in part, project
design features, community outreach feedback, applicable
information from the Aquatics Site Feasibility Study EIR,
and any other issues that are unique to the proposed project.
PBS &J will obtain and confirm any technical studies
(i.e., biological, geotechnical, existing Phase I and Phase
II Environmental Site Assessments, drainage, etc.) that
have been prepared for the proposed project from the City
and consult with the City on the timing of the proposed
project in order to accurately model projected air quality,
noise, and traffic impacts. We will ensure that we are up
to date on the City's community outreach efforts thus far
and are knowledgeable about the community's interest in
the proposed project. We will contact the appropriate City
agencies /departments (i.e., Public Works, Fire Department,
Police Department, etc.) to obtain information about the
capacity and availability of these agencies /departments to
provide for the proposed project.

PROJECT APPROACH
The approach of the PBS &J project team is based on
meeting the following objectives:
► Serving as a key element of the City's team to anticipate
controversial issues, provide unbiased recommendations,
devise solutions to potential impacts and /or other issues
that may arise, and provide expert planning, policy, and
environmental compliance consultation
► Committing senior management to the project to
provide close coordination with, and accessibility
to, the City to ensure technical accuracy, document
objectivity, and legal defensibility
► Complying with CEQA, the current CEQA
Guidelines, as well as current case law, and serving as a
public educator of CEQA and the CEQA process
► Complying with all unique City processing
requirements
► Responding to all significant issues of concern raised
by various governmental agencies, private entities,
individuals, and community groups
► Submitting all required deliverables within the mutually
agreed -upon time frames
► Providing the City with regular electronic updates of
the documents as they are revised and finalized
It is our understanding that the City anticipates
preparation of an IS /MND or an IS, NOP, and EIR for
the proposed project. The City is considering a proposed
conceptual development that involves a two- tiered or
optioned approach. Option I would consist of a senior
living complex with a combination of traditional age -
restricted senior housing (age 55 and older) and assisted/
independent living housing on a 5.65 -acre site. The
assisted /independent living facility would have a range
of 150 to 180 beds with 100 parking spaces. The senior
apartment complex would have 130 to 150 units with
150 parking spaces. Access to the site would be from
East Imperial Avenue. Option 2 would consist of a more
traditional residential development with a mix of 24 single -
family dwelling units and 45 multi - family units on private
streets. The multi - family units would front East Imperial
Avenue and take access from East Imperial Avenue only.
The single - family portion of the project would take access
from Walnut Avenue only. In addition to the proposed
conceptual project, the following alternatives to the
project will be studied if an EIR is required: 1) the "No
Project" alternative; 2) a hybrid concept with a 150 -bed
assisted living project and 20 single - family dwelling units
on individual lots; and 3) a 200 -unit senior apartment/
condominium project.
This proposal assumes that preparation of either an IS/
MND or IS /NOP and EIR would involve analysis of
both Option I and Option 2. Therefore, the following
scope of work includes Option A to prepare an IS /MND
and Option B to prepare an IS /NOP and EIR. PBS &J
will take full responsibility for project initiation and
organization, review of existing information (i.e., Phase
I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments for the
project site, applicable information from the Aquatics
Site Feasibility Study EIR, etc.), data compilation, impact
assessment, development of mitigation measures, report
compilation, monitoring and review for CEQA adequacy,
attendance at public meetings and hearings, response to
public comments, coordination of the internal project
team, and preparation of a Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program and Errata Sheet (as necessary).
Report format and content will be in full compliance
with CEQA (as amended through the date of submittal
of the draft MND or EIR), the CEQA Guidelines
(also as amended through the date of submittal of the
draft MND or EIR), and the City's environmental
guidelines and procedural requirements. General MND
or EIR organization will include a discussion of existing
conditions, potential direct and indirect /secondary
environmental impacts, and the recommendation of
mitigation measures for each affected issue area. All
revisions to documents will be prepared using red -line/
strike -out format. To present information in a concise and
easily understood format, text will be supplemented with
graphics, charts, maps and tables on 81 /zxl l white paper,
unless a larger format is critical to the readability of the
document. Work products will consist of professionally
photocopied reports in comb bindings, which are printed
on recycled paper. The majority of graphics, charts, and
maps will be presented in black ink, although some 14 74

Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) will prepare
the Traffic Study for the proposed project. PBS &J will
prepare the Transportation & Traffic section of the MND
or EIR. The following scope of work is based on our initial
understanding of the proposed project. The proposed
project includes two options for the development of a new
assisted living /senior housing facility to meet the current
and projected needs of the community and City. The project
envisions either a MND or EIR level of analysis for both
options, with at least three alternatives analyzed under the
EIR. The Traffic Study will address the following conditions:

The Traffic Study will evaluate the traffic- related project
impacts of the proposed project (both options) during the
morning and evening peak hours on a typical weekday at
up to ten (10) study intersections in the project vicinity.
KHA will coordinate with City staff to identify the study
intersections. The study will also provide an evaluation of
the on -site circulation, project access, and compliance with
the parking requirements of the Specific Plan development
standards. KHA will prepare a study that meets the
requirements of the City of El Segundo, and that complies
with the Los Angeles County Congestion Management
Plan (CMP). The scope of services for the Traffic Study is
based on KHAs understanding of the project issues and
the study requirements of the City of El Segundo. As part
of project initiation, KHA will obtain a complete project
description and confirm the to -scale copy of the project
site plan, including:

Collect current weekday morning and evening peak
hour traffic count data for the study intersections.
KHA will confer with City staff to consider which
traffic count data in the Aquatics Center EIR and other
studies in the area (some collected in March 2009 and
some collected in February 2010) are usable for this
study. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that new
traffic count data will need to be collected at five (5)
study intersections.
Develop trip generation estimates for the proposed site
uses. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
Trip Generation (8th Edition) publication offers several
land use types for residential developments, including
Single - Family Dwelling Units, Multi- Family Dwelling
Units, Senior Adult Housing — Detached, Senior Adult
Housing — Attached, Congregate Care Facility, Assisted
Living, and Continuing Care Retirement Community.
KHA will provide copies of the descriptions for each
land use category for consideration, and confer with
City staff and the project team on which are the most
appropriate for the proposed project (both options).
Develop trip distribution and assignment assumptions
for each component of the project. Separate trip
distribution assumptions will be developed for the
traditional housing, senior housing and the assisted/
independent living components. KHA will submit trip
generation and trip distribution assumptions to City
staff and the project team for concurrence prior to
proceeding with the analysis.
Distribute the project traffic to the surrounding street
system and through the study intersections.
Obtain approved and pending project information
from the City of El Segundo and surrounding cities.
KHA will start with the approved and pending project
information compiled for recent studies prepared by
KHA for other projects in the vicinity, and will contact
each agency to confirm and update this information.
w Conduct intersection analysis for Opening Year and
General Plan Build -out conditions — Without and With
the Proposed Project (both options).
® Intersection analysis will be conducted using the
City's approved Intersection Capacity Utilization
(ICU) methodology. In addition, any intersection on
a Caltrans facility will be analyzed using the Highway
Capacity Manual (HCM) methodology, as required
by the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic
Impact Studies.
ll� Identify project impacts, and identify project
mitigation, if necessary.
li The site plan for Option I reflects site access to and
from Imperial Avenue, a drop -off area for the Assisted
Care building (Lot 1) and perimeter parking for the
Senior Living building (Lot 2) with multiple pedestrian
access points. The project description for Option 2
indicates that the single - family component of the
development would take access from Walnut, and that
the multi - family component of the development would
take access from Imperial Avenue. We will evaluate the
proposed site access, on -site circulation provisions for
both vehicles and pedestrians, and the project parking
for both options.

Subtask 2B Prepare (ultural Resources WAY
Arc�hitc:ctural I listorN
The proposed project would involve the redevelopment
of a 1950s school campus to residential uses. Given the
project would demolish historic -age buildings, a PBS &J
architectural historian will conduct a survey of the project
site. All buildings and structures on the campus will be
recorded in the field, and interior investigations will be
performed where determined feasible and necessary. The
history of the campus will be gathered through available
documents provided by the City and gathered from the
school district and other local repositories to determine
their potential significance per CEQA. A cultural resources
records search will also be obtained from the South Central
Coastal Information Center ( SCCIC). Existing research
will be used to the extent possible.
Archaeology
The SCCIC records search will identify any previously
recorded archaeological sites and archaeological
investigations within 1/4-mile of the project area. In
accordance with standard professional practice, PBS &J
will request a search of the Native American Heritage
Commission's (NAHC) sacred lands database to determine
if any Native American cultural resources are present
on or in the vicinity of the proposed project site. Native
American organizations identified by the NAHC will
be contacted for their input on the project. Given the
urbanized setting of the project, PBS &J anticipates that no
Native American issues will arise and the Native American
consultation will be an exercise in professional due
diligence. This scope of work and budget does not include
a pedestrian archaeological survey.
"Technical Memo
Based on the architectural history and archaeological
investigations, PBS &J will prepare a Technical Memo
summarizing the findings of the investigation and
assess the project's potential effects on historical and
archaeological resources. The Technical Memo will
include a prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic setting
for the project area and descriptions and evaluations
of any known cultural resources on the project site.
Where applicable, recommendations for further study
or mitigation measures to reduce or eliminate adverse
impacts on cultural resources to less- than - significant levels
will be identified. The report will meet the standards
of the Office of Historic Preservation for Archeological
Resource Management Reports.
Iii /MNI) or, F.112. Section
Based on the architectural history and archaeological
investigations, PBS &J will prepare the Cultural Resources
section for the selected CEQA document. The section
will assess the project's potential effects on historical
and archaeological resources in accordance with the
requirements CEQA. The Cultural Resources section will
include a prehistoric, ethnographic, and historic setting
for the project area; descriptions and evaluations of any
known cultural resources on the project site; a regulatory
setting that identifies applicable state, federal, and local
regulations that pertain to cultural resources; and an
impact analysis of potential project- specific and cumulative
effects. Where possible, mitigation measures to reduce or

impacts of the proposed project at one preferred site. The
document will be as free as possible of jargon so that the
information it contains is accessible to the City and the
public. The methodology and criteria used for determining
the impacts of the project will be clearly and explicitly
described in the IS /MND, including any assumptions,
models, or modeling techniques used in the analysis.
The IS /MND will be prepared in conformance with a
City- approved Initial Study checklist format, and the
NOC would be consistent with Appendix C of the
CEQA Guidelines. All sixteen (16) CEQA issue areas,
as well as climate change, will be sufficiently analyzed
in the IS /MND. All appropriate mitigation measures
for these resources would be included in the IS /MND
and incorporated into the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program. The "Environmental Impact Analysis"
section at the end of this Scope of Work discusses each of
the following resources in more detail.
Aesthetics

M Geology and Soils
b Hazards and Hazardous Materials

It is assumed that key construction and operational
features of the project would be available at the beginning
of work on the IS /MND such that an accurate, finite,
and stable project description could be prepared prior
to beginning substantial work on the IS /MND. This
approach has proven to result in the most expeditious
preparation and processing of an IS /MND. All technical
studies, survey results, data, and public and agency
comments will be included as appendix material to the
Draft IS /MND.
Once comments on the Administrative Draft IS/
MND have been received from the City, PBS &J will
incorporate all comments and submit (electronically only)
a Screencheck Draft IS /MND to the City for final review
before preparing the Draft IS /MND for public review. It
is anticipated that comments received on the Screencheck
Draft IS /MND would be minimal and mostly editorial in
nature. Substantive comments requiring a second round
of substantial edits would require an amendment to the
budget proposed.

past, OPR now requires lead agencies to submit an Executive
Summary with a Draft IS /MND, as is done with a Draft
EIR. PBS &J will distribute the requisite fifteen (15) copies
of the Draft IS /MND (including its technical appendices), as
well as the Executive Summary, to the State Clearinghouse.
PBS &J would also be responsible for preparation of the
NOC, as well as any applicable filing fees. PBS &J will
distribute the NOC along with the Draft IS /MND and
Executive Summary to the State Clearinghouse. As per
the RFP, the City would be responsible for distribution
of the NOC to area property owners, local organizations,
and departments within the City (some of which will
also receive a copy of the Draft IS /MND), as well as
publication of the NOC in a local newspaper. PBS &J
would be responsible for transmittal of the NOC to the
County Clerk of Los Angeles.
The RFP does not identify the need for a community
meeting during the Draft IS /MND process. However, if
a community meeting is deemed to be required at a later
time, PBS &J can amend this proposal to include this task.

Scoping Meeting
If it has been determined that the appropriate CEQA
document for the proposed project is an EIR, PBS &J will
prepare an Initial Study /Notice of Preparation (IS /NOP) for
the proposed project that is consistent with the procedural
and substantive provisions of Sections 15063 and 15082
and Appendices C, G, and I of the CEQA Guidelines and
would be used to narrow the focus of the environmental
issues addressed in the EIR. PBS &J would be responsible
for preparing the Notice of Completion (NOC) for the
proposed project. (In recent past, an IS /NOP must now
also be accompanied with a NOC, instead of a Notice of
Availability, much like distribution of a Draft EIR.)
The Initial Study will be prepared in conformance with
a City- approved Initial Study checklist format. Based
upon review and comment by the City , PBS &J will revise
the IS /NOP, as appropriate. It is anticipated that the
following issue areas will be sufficiently analyzed in the
Initial Study to allow them to be scoped out from further
analysis in the EIR. All appropriate mitigation measures
for these resources would be included in the Initial Study
and incorporated into the Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Program. The "Environmental Impact Analysis"
section at the end of this Scope of Work discusses each of
these resources in more detail:
Agricultural Resources
M Biological Resources
! Geology and Soils
M Hydrology and Water Quality
® Mineral Resources
ix Public Services

PBS &J will distribute the IS /NOP to the Office of
Planning and Research (OPR) and responsible agencies,
trustee agencies, and any other interested parties pursuant
to the City's mailing list. During the public review period
of the IS /NOP, PBS &J will begin preparation of the Draft
EIR in order to reduce the overall project schedule.
Once comments on the Administrative Draft IS/
NOP have been received from the City, PBS &J will
incorporate all comments and submit (electronically only)
a Screencheck Draft IS/ NOP to the City for final review
before preparing the Final IS /NOP for public review. It is

TASK 4 Prepare Administrative Draft EIR
ubta c 4A Prepare Administrative Dra
The objective of this task is to prepare a comprehensive,
accurate, and objective project -level EIR for the proposed
project that fully complies with CEQA and the CEQA
Guidelines (both as amended throughout submittal of the
Draft EIR) and all applicable guidance and procedures
established by the City of El Segundo for the purpose of
environmental review.
The main purpose of the Draft EIR will be to thoroughly
and accurately analyze the environmental impacts of
the proposed project with respect to resources for which
impacts have not been scoped out in the IS /NOP. The
document will be as free as possible of jargon so that
the information it contains is accessible to the City
and the public. The methodology and criteria used for
determining the impacts of the project will be clearly and
explicitly described in each section of the EIR, including
any assumptions, models, or modeling techniques used in
the analysis.
The Draft EIR will include the following sections:
► Contents
b Introduction
Executive Summary, including a comprehensive
summary table of impacts and mitigation measures,
areas of controversy, issues to be resolved, and a
summary discussion of the proposed project and its
alternatives

► List of EIR Preparers of significance after the recommended mitigation
measures are implemented.
► References
► Long -Term Implications. The EIR will discuss all
significant unavoidable adverse impacts. The EIR will
discuss any potential growth- inducing and irreversible
impacts of the proposed project. Potential sources of
growth inducement and their corresponding impacts,
such as removal of obstacles to growth will be qualitatively
analyzed, to the extent that they are applicable.
► Technical Appendices
It is assumed that key construction and operational features
of the project would be available at the beginning of work
on the EIR such that an accurate, finite, and stable project
description could be prepared prior to beginning substantial
work on the EIR. This approach has proven to result in the
most expeditious preparation and processing of an EIR.
The scope of work for the environmental issue areas
expected to be analyzed in the Draft EIR is further
described at the end of this Scope of Work in the
"Environmental Impact Analysis" section, with an
emphasis on unique and /or important components of
the environmental analysis. In order to ensure a common
understanding of the scope and content of the EIR,
PBS &J will prepare a comprehensive list of each of the
thresholds that would be evaluated in the EIR, as well as
every impact statement that would be addressed to respond
to each of the thresholds for review and approval by the
City prior to beginning work on the EIR (some thresholds
may contain more than one impact statement).
Cumulative Impacts
Cumulative impacts will be specified in the individual
technical sections of the EIR. The cumulative analysis will
be qualitative in nature and will be based upon known
projects, either approved, proposed (applications on file),
or reasonably foreseeable, within a defined area around
the proposed project, as determined by the factors relevant
to each environmental issue area. The cumulative impact
assessment will be based on potential development projects
that may, in combination with the proposed project, create
cumulatively considerable environmental impacts, as
required by Section 15130 of the 2007 CEQA Guidelines.
Usher t. L'OA Sections
► Alternatives. In order to accurately define alternatives,
PBS &J will work with the City to first clearly articulate
project objectives. The EIR can then most effectively
assess alternatives in light of CEQAs mandate to reduce
significant project impacts while meeting the project's
basic objectives. PBS &J proposes a two- tiered approach
to the alternatives analysis, which is to (1) describe
the alternatives screening process and (2) describe and
analyze those alternatives selected for detailed study.
This will allow the EIR to demonstrate the consideration
given to a sufficiently broad range of alternatives.
The alternatives screening process will provide an
opportunity for the EIR to describe the process used to
identify alternatives. The section will describe a range of
alternatives initially considered, including their ability
to meet "screening criteria." Alternatives not carried
forward for detailed analysis will be identified, and the
reason for rejection of these alternatives will be specified.
For those alternatives described in detail, the EIR will
qualitatively address the environmental impacts that
would result. PBS &J will work closely with City staff
to develop at least three alternatives to the proposed
project (as per the RFP), including (1) No Project
alternative (including the No Project /No Development
alternative and the No Project/ Reasonably Foreseeable
Use alternative), 2) a hybrid concept with a 150 -bed
assisted living project and 20 single- family dwelling
units on individual lots, and 3) a 200 -unit senior
apartment /condominium project.
► Summary. This section will be in tabular format The alternatives will be provided in a sufficient level of
detail for comparison with the proposed project. Each

alternative will be evaluated with respect to each key
impact category. The advantages and disadvantages
of each alternative and the reasons for rejecting or
recommending the alternative will also be discussed
and the environmentally superior alternative will be
identified. During the course of the environmental
analysis, minor variations to the proposed project
that could have the effect of reducing or eliminating
environmental concerns may become apparent. These
variations will be recommended, where feasible.
► Appendices. All technical studies, survey results, data,
and public and agency comments will be included as
appendix material to the Draft EIR.
Once comments on the Administrative Draft EIR have
been received from the City, PBS &J will incorporate all
comments and submit (electronically only) a Screencheck
Draft EIR to the City for final review before preparing
the Draft EIR for public review. It is anticipated that
comments received on the Screencheck Draft EIR would
be minimal and mostly editorial in nature. Substantive
comments requiring a second round of substantial edits
would require an amendment to the budget proposed.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
The following CEQA issue areas will be analyzed and
discussed in either the IS /MND or IS/NOP and EIR. Full
analysis will be included for both Option 1 and Option 2
of the proposed conceptual development.
Aesthetits i110aI i £E tkdlc i "re6uF}
Aesthetics (defined as any element, or group of elements,
that embodies a sense of beauty), views, daytime glare,
and nighttime illumination are related elements in the
visual environment. Visual impacts of a project include
the provision of objective visual resources (such as project
design elements) and the subjective viewer response to
those changes in the visual environment.
The environmental analysis will provide a description of
views to and from the site, supplemented by photographs.
Under Option 1, the proposed project would introduce
3 -story structures (35 feet) with parapets and other
auxiliary structures such as elevator shafts and mechanical
screens that go up to 45 feet in height. Under Option
2, the multi- family units would be 35 feet in height and
the single - family units would be 26 feet in height. Under
either Option, the proposed structures would be greater
in height than existing structures on the project site.
Therefore, PBS &J will analyze whether both options of the
proposed project would substantially degrade the existing
visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings
due to grading, height, bulk, massing, or architectural style
or building materials; location in a visually prominent area;
degradation of the visual unity of the area; or degradation
of views from roadways or adjacent uses.
Existing sources of light and glare will also be described.
The environmental analysis will analyze whether the
proposed project would create a new source of substantial
light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime
views in the area. PBS &J will evaluate changes in ambient
lighting levels, including hot spots and spillover onto
adjacent areas, particularly nearby residential uses and
other sensitive receptors. Substantial light can be caused
by lighting to illuminate signage or architectural features,
or for wayfinding purposes, and substantial glare can be
caused by the use of reflective building materials.

The project site has not been utilized for agriculture
purposes in roughly the last sixty years, and it is not
designated as prime farmland, farmland of statewide
importance, unique farmland, or local importance and is
not subject to a Williamson Act contract. These issues will
be discussed and supported with documentation. However,
if preparing an EIR, Agricultural Resources will likely be
scoped out in the IS /NOP.

The City of El Segundo is located in the South Coast Air
Basin and is within the jurisdiction of the South Coast
Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). The air
pollutants of greatest concern in the South Coast Air Basin
are ozone, NOX, COX PM10, and PM25. The air quality
analysis will provide an introductory discussion of the
air pollutants of concern in the region, summarize local
and regional air quality, describe pertinent characteristics
of the air basin, and provide an overview of the physical
conditions affecting pollutant buildup and dispersion in
the City and /or basin. The setting will also discuss the
sources, types, and health effects of air pollutants.
PBS &J will use the results of the traffic study, information
regarding construction phases, schedules, and equipment, 6 I t

as well as information regarding specific activities and
hours of operation to model the potential impacts of
the proposed project on air quality. By conducting the
air quality modeling early in the environmental review
process, PBS &J can determine whether there will be
significant impacts to air quality, and if these impacts can
be mitigated. If impacts to air quality are determined to be
less than significant (with or without mitigation), PBS &J
will either scope out air quality in the Initial Study (if an
EIR is to be prepared) or prepare an air quality analysis
part of an IS /MND. The EIR budget provided as part
of this proposal does not assume that Air Quality will be
scoped out during the Initial Study process. If Air Quality
is ultimately scoped out of the EIR document, PBS &J can
revise the budget provided herein to reflect this change.
Local carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations will be
modeled at up to five intersections to be selected in
coordination with the City of El Segundo. Local CO
impacts associated with each option's project traffic will be
predicted using the CALINE -4 program and compliant
with the recommendations of the Caltrans Transportation
Project -Level Carbon Monoxide Protocol (Revised
December 1997). The CALINE -4 computer dispersion
model will be applied to the five intersections most affected
by each option's project traffic, and nearby proximity to
sensitive receptors.
The air quality analysis will also evaluate potential air
quality impacts of project - related construction activities.
An 18 to 24 month construction schedule is anticipated for
the proposed project. However, it is our understanding that
uses (i.e., assisted living /senior apartments) may be built
concurrently or independently. According to the proposed
project's Preliminary Grading Plan, approximately 32,650
cubic yards of soil will be exported from the project site.
The potential emissions impact of this excavation and off -
site transport on air quality will be analyzed as part of the
modeling and analysis. The maximum expected equipment
to be in use during each phase of construction will be
used to quantify maximum daily emissions. Emissions will
be compared to the thresholds of significance presented
in the SCAQMD Handbook. Mitigation measures for
construction - related particulates will follow guidance from
the SCAQMD CEQA Handbook In addition to the air
�9 Prinred on Recycled Paper
PBS &J Proposal # 04 13:0 1 7721.1 110
emission thresholds established by SCAQMD, potential
localized impacts for certain criteria pollutants with regard
to project - related emissions are calculated using a separate
method. For smaller projects (less than 5 acres), localized
significance thresholds (LSTs) were developed in response
to the SCAQMD Governing Board's Environmental
Justice Enhancement Initiative I -4. LSTs represent the
maximum emissions from a project that are not expected to
cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent
applicable federal or State ambient air quality standard,
and are developed based on the ambient concentrations of
that pollutant for each source receptor area and distance
to the nearest sensitive receptor. A LST screening analysis
using the SCAQMD provided mass -rate lookup tables
only applies to projects that are 5 acres or less in size and
are only applicable to COX NOX, PM 10, and PM2.5.
For this project, an analysis of localized concentrations of
relevant criteria air pollutants (LSTs) during construction
activities would also be conducted in compliance with
the recommendations of the SCAQMD Final Localized
Significance Thresholds Methodology (2003).
The regional criteria pollutant analysis will examine
vehicular and stationary sources associated with operation
of both options of the proposed project. Based on
estimated vehicle trips, vehicular emissions of carbon
monoxide, ozone precursors (reactive organic gases and
oxides of nitrogen), and small particulate matter (PM 10)
will be predicted and quantified using EMFAC 2007
emission factors and the California Air Resources Board's
URBEMIS 2007 software, which will then be compared
to the SCAQMD significance thresholds to determine
whether each option of the proposed project would
violate a State or federal air quality standard or contribute
substantially to an existing or projected air quality
violation. The criteria pollutant emissions from future
stationary sources (such as HVAC equipment) will also be
estimated in the same manner. The SCAQMD's regulatory
structure to evaluate and offset these emissions will be
described. The air quality analysis will also qualitatively
evaluate the potential exposure of sensitive receptors to
substantial pollutant concentrations where each option of
the project may cause emissions of identified pollutants in
excess of the pounds per day or tons per quarter standards
established by the SCAQMD. Mitigation measures will
1f�1

Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
be identified for potentially significant impacts, and their
effectiveness will be quantified to the extent feasible.
Potential conflicts with or potential to obstruct
implementation of the applicable air quality plan where
it may cause or contribute to emission of identified air
pollutants in excess of levels stated in the plan or where it
may fail to implement a remedial or mitigation measure
required under the plan will be analyzed.
The cumulative net increase of criteria pollutants for
which the project region is in non - attainment will be
analyzed to determine if the project emissions, considered
cumulatively, will increase the level of any criteria pollutant
above the existing ambient level.
Based on our site visit, it is unlikely that any native
vegetation exists on the proposed project site. It is also
unlikely that any sensitive species or habitats are located on
the proposed project site. While there are ornamental trees
located on the project site and in the public right -of -way at
the project site that could be directly or indirectly affected
by construction activities, it is highly unlikely that they
would provide suitable habitat for nesting migratory birds.
To ensure that no impacts to migratory birds would occur,
the environmental document will include a mitigation
measure that requires preconstruction surveys for nesting
migratory birds. This mitigation will be included in the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared
for the project. Additionally, the environmental analysis
will consider the removal of multiple mature trees and
determine any potentially significant impacts of doing so.
According to the 2009 Phase I and Phase II Environmental
Site Assessment Report, the project site is not located
within any national wetlands. These issues will be
discussed and supported with documentation. However,
if preparing an FIR, Biological Resources will likely be
scoped out in the IS /NOP.
Climate change will be addressed using a methodology
that PBS &J has and is currently using on other projects of
similar size and upon confirmation with the lead agency.
Based upon recent guidance from the California Air
Resources Board and the California Office of Planning
and Research, the environmental document should
make a good -faith effort to (1) estimate the greenhouse
gas emissions for the proposed project; (2) establish
a link between the project's greenhouse gas emissions
and potential impacts; (3) identify mitigation measures
that would apply to the proposed project as published
by the California Climate Action Team, California
Attorney General's Office, and California Air Pollution
Control Officers Association (CAPCOA); and (4) make a
significance determination. To that end, PBS &J will utilize
the most current protocol guidance from the California
Climate Action Registry (currently version 3.1) to estimate
the project's contribution in terms of carbon dioxide
equivalent emissions, which taken into account carbon
dioxide, methane, and nitrogen dioxide emissions. Project
emissions associated with construction, vehicular use,
utility use (electricity, natural gas, and water), and solid
waste will be estimated. Additional guidance with respect
to global warming (or climate change) has been published
in a "white paper" by the Association of Environmental
Professionals entitled `Alternative Approaches to Analyze
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Global Climate Change
in CEQA Documents" (Final Draft, June 29, 2007),
which was authored by PBS &J's Climate Change
Expert, Michael Hendrix. Other useful guidance is also
provided in "Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate
Change: CEQA Catches up with Science, Celebrities, and
Product Placement" (California Land Use Law and Policy
Reporter, June 2007) and by the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change. The recently issued thresholds for
Climate Change, set forth by the Office of Planning and
Research, will be included in the EIR.
It should be noted that PBS &J is cognizant of the fact
that the state of art for this issue is rapidly changing,
and we must be compliant with the currently acceptable
methodologies for analysis. PBS &J would request
that the scope of climate change be discussed at the
kickoff meeting to confirm PBS &J's approach, due to
the precedent- setting nature of this analysis for future
environmental documents.

The Cultural Resources section will include a prehistoric,
ethnographic, and historic setting for the project area;
a description of the buildings, landscaping, and site
conditions as a whole; a regulatory setting that identifies
applicable State, federal, and local regulations that pertain
to cultural resources. The results of the survey and report
prepared as part of Subtask 2B will be summarized in the
Cultural Resources section of the environmental document.
#ply and Soils
This section will be prepared using any geological
information submitted by the City (i.e., Subsurface Soil
Investigation Reports, Phase II Soil Sampling Investigation
Reports, etc.), as well as available geologic and /or soils
maps, published literature, stereoscopic aerial photographs,
and information, reports, and /or plans with information
regarding geology and /or soils for the proposed project
site. Typically, for urban infill projects, enough data can
be gathered such that a detailed geological study is not
required, and further, standard construction techniques
and the rigorous requirements of the Uniform Building
Code, the California Building Code, and the City's
Municipal Code provide enough protection to ensure
that significant impacts do not result. Accordingly, these
techniques and standards will be identified and discussed
with respect to the proposed project, and additional
mitigation measures, if required, will also be presented.
The geology and soils section will report the type and
magnitude of seismic activity typical in this portion of
Los Angeles County, including the location of the nearest
earthquake fault. In addition, the suitability of the on -site
soils for the proposed development will also be identified
and discussed, particularly as they may present potential
risks to future occupants. According to the RFP, the
overall slope of the project site from the northeast to the
southwest is roughly five percent. The project site is graded
in two pads with a 2:1 slope separating the pads. The
proposed grading (roughly 37,000 cubic yards of soil) will
eliminate the bench and create a more natural transition.
Based on the information collected, soils and geologic
conditions will be discussed, and potential impacts will
be identified. These issues will be discussed and supported
with documentation. However, if preparing an EIR,
Geology and Soils will likely be scoped out in the IS /NOP.

Historic use of the proposed project site as agricultural land
and a school that may have resulted in the use, transport,
or disposal of hazardous materials will be determined.
The potential for past agricultural use and more current
school use to contaminate the proposed project site will be
assessed and summarized in the environmental document.
According to the Phase I and Phase II Environmental
Site Assessment Report prepared for the project site by
Leighton Consulting, Inc. in January 2009, four soil
samples were collected at 0.5 feet below ground surface
at the project site and analyzed for pesticides due to past
agricultural use at the site. The assessment revealed no
evidence of recognized environmental contamination in
connection with the project site. The project site was not
listed on any hazardous material databases. The Report
went on to state that in general, observations should be
made during any future site development for areas of
possible contamination such as, but not limited to, the
presence of underground facilities, buried debris, waste
drums, tanks, and staining soils or odorous soils. Should
such materials be encountered, the Report recommends
that further investigation and analysis may be necessary.
Since the hazardous materials database check was
conducted over one year ago (dated December 1, 2008)
and five sites with leaking underground storage tanks were
listed within a 0.50 -mile radius of the project site, PBS &J
has included the task of having Environmental Data
Resources, Inc. (EDR) run an updated hazardous materials
database check to confirm that no new hazardous material
activities have taken place within the project vicinity. If it
is determined that this database check is not necessary, we
can revise the budget included herein.
The environmental document will describe planned uses
at the project site (under both Options) that could create
hazards for existing or future residents or occupants, such
as those associated with the use, disposal, transportation,

or potential upset of hazardous materials, including those
typically used for commercial cleaning. Federal, State,
county, and City laws and regulations governing hazardous
materials will be summarized. The environmental
document will also evaluate the extent to which both
options of the project could impair or physically interfere
with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency
evacuation plan, or expose people or structures to a
significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland
fires, the latter of which is highly unlikely.
Hydrology and Water Quality M,
Existing hydrologic conditions will be identified,
including the extent and nature of the existing watershed,
groundwater recharge and supply, drainage conditions,
and water quality. According to the Phase I and Phase
II Environmental Site Assessment Report, the depth to
groundwater in the project area ranges from 91.1 to 94.05
feet below ground surface. The groundwater flow direction
was found to be multi - directional. The groundwater depth
may vary due to the potential presence of discontinuous
perched aquifers. The groundwater depth and direction of
flow may also vary depending on extraction activities and
natural or artificial recharge rates. Furthermore, the varied
topography at the project site, as well as its proximity to
the Pacific Ocean, the groundwater flow direction in the
vicinity of the project site is likely to be variable.
Surface water resources will be described for the project
area. Existing and planned drainage and flood control
facilities will also be described. According to the 2009
Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessment
Report, the project site is not located within the 100- or
500 -year floodplain zone. However, if updated research
indicates the project site is in fact located within a 100 -
or 500 -year floodplain zone, the 100- and 500 -year
floodplains within the project vicinities will be mapped,
and any exposure of structures to the 100 -year floodplain
will be evaluated. Typically, studies are not conducted
in areas that are unlikely to pose a significant threat of
flooding. During our site visit, we observed a narrow
drainage channel on -site that parallels the developed
portion of the campus on the west side. It appears that the
channel dumps directly into the parking lot. Due to the
terrain of campus, water likely drains to the channel from
the hillside and athletic field.
The potential increase in the rate of runoff as a result of
the proposed project will be described and compared
to pre - development conditions. As discussed previously
in this section, the overall slope of the project site from
the northeast to the southwest is roughly five percent.
The project site is graded in two pads with a 2:1 slope
separating the pads. The proposed grading (roughly 37,000
cubic yards of soil) will eliminate the bench and create a
more natural transition. The environmental document will
analyze whether the proposed project would adversely alter
the existing drainage pattern of the site, such that flooding,
erosion, or other degraded water quality conditions would
occur. As would be expected, impacts related to erosion
are not considered likely, particularly assuming compliance
with the requirements of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program during
construction activities.
A description of existing water quality conditions will
be compiled based on existing data or inquiries to local
agencies. The environmental document will address
potential changes in surface water and groundwater quality
as a result of site development. PBS &J will discuss the
applicability of relevant water quality regulations to reduce
potential effects. In addition, this section will determine
whether the project would result in a rate of flow that
exceeds any downstream storm drain facility's capacity.
The risk of inundation by seiches, mudflows, and tsunamis
will also be addressed in the environmental document.
However, the risk of inundation by seiches or mudflows
is considered highly unlikely given that there is no nearby
water body that could result in a seiche (the Pacific Ocean
is 1.6 miles west of the project site), and similarly, there are
no mountain ranges in close enough proximity to result in
mudflows at the project site.
The issues identified above will be discussed and supported
with documentation in the environmental document.
However, if preparing an EIR, Hydrology and Water
Quality will likely be scoped out in the IS /NOP.

The Land Use section of the environmental document will
describe the consistency of the proposed land use with
the City's General Plan. The land use section will describe
existing land uses, intensities, and patterns in the vicinity
of the project site and the compatibility of the proposed
project with existing development. The environmental

the proposed development and surrounding uses. These
conflicts could include a use that would create a nuisance
for adjacent properties or result in incompatibility with

The environmental document will analyze the potential for
the proposed project to result in the loss of availability of
a known mineral resource or a locally important mineral
resource recovery site. Additionally, according to the Phase
I and Phase II Report, the project site is not located within
an oil producing area; however, it is located between the El
Segundo and Hyperion Oil Fields. No oil or gas wells were
found to exist on or adjacent to the project site. During
Leighton's site visit in 2009, signs for a petroleum pipeline
were observed along the north side of East Imperial
Avenue. Potentially significant impacts are not anticipated,
however, this issue will be included in the environmental
document as per CEQA. If preparing an EIR, Mineral
Resources will likely be scoped out in the IS /NOP.
PBS &J will use the results of the traffic study, information
regarding construction phases (18 to 24 months; uses
may be built concurrently or independently), schedules,
and equipment, as well as information regarding specific
activities and hours of operation to model the potential
noise impacts generated by the proposed project. Existing
ambient daytime noise levels will be measured at locations
(to be selected in coordination with the City) within
and around the proposed project site to establish current
baseline noise levels. "These locations will be identified on
a map. The daytime noise levels will be measured using
a Larson -Davis Model 814 precision sound level meter,
which satisfies the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) for general environmental noise measurement
instrumentation. Potential impacts of surrounding
uses (i.e., dog park across East Imperial Avenue) on the
proposed project use will also be analyzed and discussed.
Noise will be characterized in the following terms:

acoustic energy content of noise for a stated period of
time; for evaluating community impacts, this rating

the Federal Highway Administration Highway Noise
Prediction Model (FHWA -RD -77 -108) and current
traffic counts from the traffic report prepared for the
project. The model will calculate the average noise level at
specific locations based on traffic volumes, average speeds,
roadway geometry, and site environmental conditions.
Vehicle noise energy rates in the FWHA model will be
modified to incorporate rates utilized by Caltrans, which
better represent vehicle noise levels in California. The
analysis of operational noise impacts will address future
noise levels at the project site and in the project vicinities.
Future noise levels along the roadway segments in the
project vicinities will be calculated to determine whether
traffic generated by the project causes a substantial
increase in noise at off -site locations.
Noise levels generated during construction will be
estimated based upon anticipated construction schedules,
techniques, and building types, and all assumptions in
the noise analysis will be consistent with what is assumed
in the air quality and transportation/ traffic analyses. The
potential for construction noise to impact nearby noise -
sensitive land uses (i.e., residences to the west, south and
east) will be characterized by quantifying anticipated noise
levels (e.g., based on distance). Furthermore, vibration
impacts from project - related construction activities will
also be evaluated if any pile- driving or other vibration -
inducing activities occur.
For any impacts that exceed identified significance
thresholds, feasible mitigation measures will be identified,
which may include modification of construction techniques
or hours, changes in project design or layout, provision of
temporary or long -term barriers to noise transmission, or
limitations on outdoor nighttime activities.
Populution and Housing 1 14 6 , K ri, L ,o
The proposed project would not displace housing but
would introduce new housing under either option.
Therefore, the proposed project could alter the population,
employment, and housing characteristics for the area
through a change in land uses. As part of the project, a
Subdivision is required to re- configure the existing six
parcels into seven new parcels with a "for condominium
purposes" designation for Option 1 and /or a Subdivision
for 30 lots for Option 2. The potential population increase
associated with the proposed project will be estimated
using the number and type of dwelling units proposed
(for each option) and the employment generation (and
associated population growth, if any) will be estimated.
The EIR will evaluate the project's consistency with
any housing affordability requirements. The EIR will
summarize the employment and housing characteristics of
the city and region based on existing documentation and
will be utilized to determine potential project impacts.
Applicable General Plan policies regarding population,
housing (including affordable housing), and employment
opportunities will be described and analyzed in the EIR.

The environmental document will address potential
impacts of the project on police and fire department
response capabilities and time. The environmental
document would also address proper site access and
circulation, location and number of fire hydrants,
and fire prevention devices and systems that would be
installed. The proposed facilities would have a larger
number of employees than the current closed facilities.
However, the proposed project is not anticipated to
increase City population significantly. Since there is no
anticipated significant increase in population with the
proposed project, impacts on schools and libraries is
anticipated to be minimal. This will be substantiated in the
environmental document. However, the potential impacts
of demolishing an existing school may create impacts. This
issue will be analyzed in the environmental document. If

requirements of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality
Control Board. In addition, PBS &J would also coordinate
with the City to ensure that the wastewater treatment
provider has adequate capacity to serve the proposed
project's projected demand, in addition to the provider's
existing commitments. Similarly, the environmental
document will address whether the wastewater generated
by either option of the project would require the
expansion of existing wastewater treatment facilities or
the construction of new wastewater treatment facilities. If
inadequate wastewater treatment is identified, measures to
provide adequate wastewater treatment will be identified.
In terms of storm drainage, this section of the
environmental document will address whether
implementation of either option of the proposed
project would exceed the capacity of existing or planned
stormwater drainage systems, either immediately
downstream of the project site or at a potentially
constrained confluence of storm drains further
downstream. If inadequate storm drain capacity is
identified, measures to eliminate impacts (such as the
on -site detention, retention, and /or filtration) and /or
upgrading the storm drain facilities will be identified.
Water quality impacts would also be addressed in the
environmental document. There is overlap in the CEQA
thresholds with respect to the analysis of impacts to storm
drainage: there is a threshold identified in Appendix G of
the CEQA Guidelines for this issue in both hydrology and
water quality and utilities and service systems. Typically, we
address it in one of the two locations, and we refer to the
analysis in the other location.
A water supply assessment will not be required, since none
of the requirements identified in Section 10912(a) of the
Water Code would be triggered, such as the provision of at
least 500 residential uses or a shopping center of more than
250,000 square feet. The environmental document will
evaluate whether adequate water supply is available to serve
the project site by providing the following analysis:
Anticipated water demand
P Water entitlements and water sources, including
groundwater resources and wells
Need for additional water supply, treatment, and /or
conveyance infrastructure improvements needs to serve
the proposed project
M Wastewater flow using factors provided from the City's
Public Works Department
The environmental document will provide a description
of existing and future landfill capacity at the landfills that
accept waste from the City of El Segundo and describe any
regulations associated with State - mandated waste reduction
requirements. The amount of solid waste that could be
generated by the proposed project will be quantified
based on factors developed in consultation with the City.

Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
Projected solid waste will be compared to existing and
future landfill capacity to determine whether the changes
in land use would substantially shorten the life of the
landfill or necessitate expansion of the landfill.
PBS &J will also contact Southern California Gas
Company and Southern California Edison for information
concerning existing and planned energy infrastructure and
sources that would serve the project site. This information
will be summarized in the environmental document.
Based on factors provided by the service providers, the
environmental document will quantify estimated energy
use for either option of the proposed project. This demand
will be discussed with the service providers to determine
whether there is ample supply, which is almost always the
case. If preparing an EIR, Utilities and Service Systems will
likely be scoped out in the IS/NOP.
As an optional task, PBS &J could prepare a full Wet
Utilities Technical Study for the proposed project. The
scope of work and budget for this task would be provided
separately if and when such a study is deemed necessary.

Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
BS &J proposes the following schedule to complete
an MND within five months of kickoff of the
MND process, and a Final EIR within nine months
of kickoff of the EIR process for the proposed project,
as required by Section 15108 of the CEQA Guidelines.
The schedule assumes work will not begin until after
the December holidays, however, PBS &J is available to
start work prior to January if required. Additionally, if a
more aggressive schedule is desired, we would be happy
to work with the City to determine how this could be
accomplished. PBS &J understands the importance of
meeting the schedule outlined below and has confirmed
technical staff to meet this schedule, assuming that
adequate information regarding the project and a mutually
acceptable scope of services is available when the City
provides PBS &J with a notice to proceed. Other factors
that could lengthen or shorten the schedule include dates
of receipt of project information, length of City review,
and unanticipated issues arising from City staff or public
review of the environmental document. Labor hours have
been provided as part of the Budget and reflect the number
of hours needed by staff category for each task outlined in
Section 4 and the schedule below.

The overall schedule for completion of the MND or
EIR will specifically depend on several factors, some of
which are outside of PBS &J's control. In particular, the
availability of City staff to review the revised project
description, agreement on the scope of the document,
review of the technical studies (cultural resources report
and traffic study), and review of the draft environmental
document will be key factors. The schedule includes the
following specific assumptions:
Receipt of complete and accurate project data within
two weeks of the project kickoff meeting
Stable project description throughout the
environmental review process

Proposal to Provide f EQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project
ivager
he cost estimate submitted to the City of
El Segundo is based on the tasks to be performed
as outlined in the RFP; however, the precise time
and effort required for preparation of the environmental
document depends on a number of variables, some of
which are outside of PBS &J's control. For example,
the length of time the City of El Segundo staff takes to
complete their review can reduce or extend the project
timeline. Similarly, changing the project or introducing
new issues mid project can also affect time and cost. While
we are confident we can maintain a cost - effective approach
with the project, the budget includes several assumptions:
The project description is firm and unchanged during
the review process.
ll, The environmental document will require two review
drafts before publication.
Within these assumptions, PBS &J has prepared a cost
estimate that is competitive, yet accurately reflective
of the level of effort required to complete the scope of
services requested by the City of El Segundo based on
our understanding of the project with the information
made available to date. In addition, the proposed budget
is based on the assignment of senior individuals to the
project. PBS &J does not believe it is in the client's interest
to submit an unrealistically low cost proposal, which is
made possible by either reducing the scope of work or by
assuming that budget augments will be made available
at a later date. That said, we are flexible and willing to
discuss ways to reduce our preliminary cost proposal,
if necessary. For your convenience, we have provided a
detailed cost proposal, identifying labor costs by task, by
person (job classification), and by hour, as well as indirect
costs, reimbursable expenses and administrative fees. We
have also included our standard fee schedule at the end of
this section.
Factors that would increase the scope of work and
estimated costs outlined in this proposal include, but are
not necessarily limited to, any of the following:
► Attendance at additional meetings
/ Printing of additional copies of reports
i Analysis of additional issues above those provided in the
cost estimate, or a more detailed level of analysis than
typically required
► Changes in the project requiring re- analysis or rewriting
of report sections
0 Collection of additional data
F Excessive comments on the draft environmental
document (beyond the number budgeted)
Our cost proposal is valid for 60 days from the date of
this proposal and is based on all team members' standard
hourly rates.

is currently updating the Land Use and Circulation Elements of the General Plan. The updated Land Use Element would
guide the pattern of future land uses in the city up to 2025, and the Circulation Element would address transportation
issues involving the movement of people, goods, and vehicles through the city during this time frame. PBS &J will prepare
an EIR for the City in regards to these updates. Issues that will be addressed in this EIR include aesthetics, air quality,
hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, noise, population and housing, public services and utilities, and
transportation and circulation.
Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center EIR, Pomona, California. Contributed to the preparation of the
environmental analysis for the Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center ( PVHMC), a regional medical facility, centrally
located in the City of Pomona, that provides emergency, in- patient hospital and out - patient services. The PVHMC is
working to develop a Master Plan for the modernization and expansion of its core campus, in part to become compliant
with SB 1953. The PVHMC Specific Plan is intended to guide development of the medical center through the year
2030. Under the Specific Plan, the PVHMC core campus would be expanded to approximately 475 hospital beds and
approximately 1,012,314 square feet of combined new and existing facilities. Infrastructure improvements to support the
new facilities are also proposed, along with certain off -site traffic control and minor sewer and storm drain improvements.
Two public streets would be closed where they traverse the medical center campus and the public right -of -way would
be vacated. The medical center's core campus surface parking lots would be reconfigured to improve internal circulation
and maximize parking. Additional new landscaping, enhanced signage, and related improvements would be included in
the overall development. Implementation of the Specific Plan will take place in three phases between 2009 and 2030.
Fairly detailed plans exist for Phase I of the Specific Plan project, expected to start construction in 2009, allowing for the
evaluation of Phase I environmental effects at a project- specific level. Plans for Phases 2 and 3 are still in conceptual stages.
Accordingly, this EIR will evaluate these latter phases at a programmatic level.
John Adams Middle School, Replacement of Classrooms E, F and G, New Administration Building, and
Modernization and Improvement Project, Santa Monica, California. Assisted in preparation of an Initial Study and
Focused EIR for the rehabilitation and modernization of the John Adams Middle School Campus on behalf of the Santa
Monica — Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD). In 2006, voters in Santa Monica and Malibu passed Measure BB,
a $268 million school construction and renovation bond, for the SMMUSD. The project includes use of a portion of these
funds for the development of new classrooms supporting a three grade level house system, improved administrative spaces
and exterior commons upgrades, and collectively making transformative improvements to the existing school campus. The
project also proposed to transform the front entrance to the school to provide enhanced presence, greater convenience, and
increased security along 16th Street. One of the important objectives of the proposed project was the reinforcement of the
campus into three grade level academic houses, each with its own distinct identity and courtyard space. The goal was to
encourage social interaction and provide for outdoor instructional spaces for each grade level. The Focused EIR included
discussion of cultural resources, air quality, and noise impacts of the proposed project.

that included a Wal -Mart Superstore totaling 246,000 square feet of floor space on Panama Lane near State Route 99 in
the city of Bakersfield. The original EIR for this project was certified and subsequently challenged in 2003 by a citizen's
action group, which was opposed to the approval of Wal -Mart stores in the Bakersfield area. This group commented
extensively on the EIR. One of the criticisms by this group in their comment letters on the Draft EIR was that the EIR
did not address climate change or the increase in GHG emissions that would result from a new Wal -Mart store. The court
reviewed the citizens group complaints and vacated approval of the project in 2003. This analysis was done in support of
the recirculated EIR in 2007 and resulted in both approval of the project and withstood additional legal challenge.

Irvine Business Complex (IBC) Shuttle, Irvine, California. Project Manager. KHA conducted a survey of potential
shuttle users to determine the viability of establishing a shuttle service for the Irvine Business Complex (IBC) in the
city of Irvine. The survey measured the level of interest for shuttle service amongst employees and residents of the
IBC, MetroLink riders, and employers in the IBC. KHA also designed two shuttle routes which serviced the primary
employment centers in the IBC, John Wayne Airport, the Jamboree MetroLink station, and retail and restaurant centers
in and near the IBC. The shuttle route design included a commute period routing and timing, and a separate route and
timing for the lunchtime period. KHA also performed research into the operational characteristics of various shuttle
vehicles that could be deployed as part of the shuttle network, and identified potential funding that may be available
from federal, state, and local sources for the capital and operating costs of the shuttle system. The IBC shuttle service was
initiated in 2008.
Lakeshore Towers Parking Demand and Site Circulation Study, Irvine, California. Project Manager. KHA conducted
a complex, data - intensive parking demand study for a 600,000- square -foot mixed -use development (office, health club,
restaurant, and retail). The development is served by an 1,800- space, 7 -level parking structure, with card access for office
employees, keypad access for valet, and ticket /pay access for visitors and customers. KHA developed a data collection
program that identified the purpose, duration, and parking accumulation total for every vehicle parked in the structure,
for every hour that the structure was in operation. Person -to- person surveys were conducted, with a delay of no greater
than five seconds to the incoming parker, to determine purpose; and a numbered card system was used to determine
parking duration. A spreadsheet was then developed to automate the data compilation process. As result of the analysis, a
parking variance was obtained, and on -site circulation improvements were identified and are currently being implemented.
University Village /Orchard Park Specific Plan, Loma Linda, California. Project Manager. KHA prepared the Traffic
Impact Study for the joint University Village /Orchard Park mixed -use project in the city of Loma Linda. The traffic
study was prepared in accordance with San Bernardino CMP requirements, and evaluated and identified project - related
traffic impacts at 28 intersections, including several intersections in adjacent cities. The project actually consisted of two
Specific Plans, owned and planned by two separate owners, but located side -by -side in the eastern portion of the city
of Loma Linda. The University Village Specific Plan consisted of a mixed -use development of 1,700 dwelling units and
172,000 square feet of commercial use on 170 acres. The Orchard Park Specific Plan consisted of over 960,000 square
feet of neighborhood and regional commercial, and 1,260 dwelling units on 138 acres. On -site roadways were designed
to be continuous across and through the two project sites, including a traffic circle located on the boundary between the
two projects, so that half the circle was in University Village and the other half was in Orchard Park. The two Specific
Plan areas were studied and cleared environmentally in one document. The Traffic Study evaluated the traffic- related
impacts of each of the Specific Plans individually, and then cumulatively. Mitigation responsibility was also quantified
individually for each project.
Christ College (Concordia University) General Plan Amendment and Campus Master Plan, Irvine, California.
Project Manager. KHA has provided transportation planning and traffic engineering services for the Christ College
Irvine Master Plan Update campus (now known as Concordia University) since 1987. Along with evaluating the impact
of building out the Campus Master Plan on internal campus property and converting outer parcels to residential tracts,
KHA efforts included a detailed campus -wide parking study, presentation of a parking management plan, preparation of
an application for administrative relief for the Campus Master Plan parking element, and adaptation of the Urban Land
Institute (ULI) Shared Parking methodology to campus uses. Throughout the project, KHA participated in an extensive
community outreach program to address the concerns of the adjacent residents who were vigorously opposed to the
project. KHA attended numerous meetings and made presentations to a variety of community groups and Homeowners
Associations, as well as public hearings of the Traffic Commission, Planning Commission, and City Council.

South County Courthouse, at the intersection of Alicia Parkway and Crown Valley Parkway in the City of Laguna Niguel.
The project site contained the existing courthouse, which had four courtrooms, and the Laguna Niguel branch library. The
proposed project had four components:
1. Courthouse: Expansion of the existing courthouse to provide 14 new courtrooms and re -use of the existing four
courtrooms, for a total of 18 courtrooms when the project is complete.
2. City Hall: Relocation of the City of Laguna Niguel City Hall facilities from its current location in an industrial office
park at La Paz Road and Shelley Road to a new 40,000- square -foot building on the project site.
3. Library: Expansion of the existing Laguna Niguel Library to provide an additional 3,050 square feet.
4. Office: Construction of a new 61,000- square -foot office building on the project site.
The Traffic Study provided analysis of 28 intersections, and included a lunchtime analysis and a detailed analysis of
pedestrian traffic at selected intersections, to address the impact of juror activity for the expanded courthouse. The study
also included a parking analysis to evaluate the adequacy of the proposed parking supply for the site.
Metro Red Line Extension, Mid -City Segment, Los Angeles, California. KHA prepared the traffic impact and parking
analysis for the Environmental Impact Statement and Environmental Impact Report for the Mid -City Segment of the
Metro Red Line Extension in the City of Los Angeles. The project involved preparing a detailed analysis of the traffic
impacts of a number of rail alignments and station locations and configurations for the 3.5 -mile extension. The report
included analysis of 27 intersections and 120 street segments, and a detailed evaluation of station -area parking, circulation,
and drop -off areas.

The project consists of 15 million square feet of hi -cube warehouse, distribution, and
manufacturing buildings in the far western portion of the City of Barstow. The site
is largely vacant and is located adjacent to the BNSF railroad line that connects the
Southern California ports with destinations to the east. The project proposes a 75 -acre
trans -load facility adjacent to the rail line, and will also extend two rail spurs into the site
to provide direct rail -to- warehouse service to several on -site buildings.
The trip generation estimates for the project take into account the reduction in trips
that this movement of goods by rail, in lieu of movement by trucks, will offer. The study
identifies the total number of project trips, as well as the passenger car equivalents (PCE)
to account for the effects of truck traffic. The study includes the planned grade separation
project over the BNSF rail line immediately south of the project, and identifies the
timing for off -site road improvements, based on proposed project phasing.

development. The Ridgeline Country Club use included a number of active community-
oriented recreational facilities, including a golf course, several tennis courts, a swimming
pool used by swim teams for practice and meets, and a banquet facility used for weddings
and other party and meeting functions.
The Traffic Study addressed the impact of the residential project, compared to the

APPROVED BY: Jack Wayt, City Manag4 N1
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The El Segundo Unified School District submitted several planning applications for
environmental review, a General Plan Amendment, a Zone Change, a Zone Text Amendment, a
Specific Plan, and a subdivision application for the development of the El Segundo Unified
School District ( ESUSD) property at 540 E. Imperial Avenue. The proposed project includes
two conceptual development options for the 5.65 acre ESUSD site. The proposed conceptual
development options include: 1) a senior living complex with a mix of Assisted/Independent
Living (150 beds) and Senior Housing Apartments up to 150 units or; 2) a residential
development consisting of a mix of 24 single - family dwelling units and 45 multi - family units
with private streets.
'r�_)�.
4.
The City will retain planning consulting services for the preparation of the necessary
environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) paid for by
the ESUSD. Additionally, the fees for the planning applications needed for the project are based
upon full cost recovery. ESUSD will enter into a reimbursement agreement with the City to pay
for City staff time through a developer funded trust account. In addition to using planning
consultants for the preparation of the necessary environmental review documents, the Planning
Division is requesting to use planning consultant services to manage the Imperial School site
project because of Planning Division workload demands. The cost of the consultant services
would be reimbursed to the City by the ESUSD. Specifically, additional funding in the amount
of $50,000 is requested to be added to the City's existing contract of $30,000 with Willdan
Engineering, for a new total of $80,000.
Recently, the workload of the Planning Division has increased significantly with several
development projects received within a short span of time. These projects will be processed
concurrently with City projects that are in progress. These projects require extensive
environmental review and the expertise of Principal Planner or Senior Planner level staff. These
complex projects include: the Smoky Hollow Zone Text Amendment, the Aquatics Facility Site
Feasibility project, the Hyatt Place Hotel at Corporate Campus, the Toyota Sports Facility
expansion project, and the new Chevron Regional Operations Center project. Other projects that
are expected to be submitted either this week or within the next month or so include the
Raytheon Campus Master Plan, the In and Out restaurant project at 600 -630 North Sepulveda
Boulevard, and the 898 Sepulveda Boulevard hotel project, to name a few. The Planning
Division believes that the use of consultant services will ensure the efficient and timely
processing of the Imperial School site project.
Recommendation
The Planning and Building Safety Department requests that the Council authorize the City
Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement amendment with Willdan, in a form
approved by the City Attorney, for an additional sum of $50,000, for a total not to exceed
$80,000, for developer reimbursed planning consulting services for the 540 East Imperial
Avenue School Site project.

Af.FNDA STATEMENT
MEETING DATE: December 21, 2010
AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action to adopt Ordinance No. 1457 amending Title 6 of the
El Segundo Municipal Code in its entirety regarding Animal Control. (Fiscal Impact:
None)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Waive second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1457 for Animal Control; and/or

Ordinance No. 1457
FISCAL IMPACT: None
Amount Budgeted: $N /A
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): N/A
ORIGINATED BY: Bob Turnbull, Captain - 3(,j
REVIEWED BY: Mitch Tavera, Chief of Poli
APPROVED BY: Jack Wayt, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On December 7, 2010, City Council introduced the attached ordinance that revises Title 6 of the
El Segundo Municipal Code (`SSMC ") in a number of ways. In addition to reformatting the
chapters, proposed changes provide animal control personnel greater flexibility in handling
licensing /impounding animals, and modify current procedures regarding the hearing process for
potentially dangerous or vicious dogs.
Currently, the Title states, Animal Control Officers "will," capture and impound dogs located
within the city that do not display a valid license tag. This greatly limits the flexibility and
discretion Animal Control Officers (ACO's) have when attempting to mitigate licensing issues
with pet owners. Seizing pets from some owners can cause stress out of proportion to the
violation. It is proposed "may" be substituted where appropriate within Title 6 of the code.
It is also proposed the hearing process for potentially dangerous or vicious dogs be modified to
more clearly describe procedures for the director (Chief of Police). These modifications
safeguard the procedural rights of pet owners and align this code with state law.

[P: \SUPER\AGENDAS\ESMC Animal Control - Complete Update 2010Final.doc
"6 -5 -6: DANGEROUS DOGS; IMPOUNDMENT; HEARING:
A. Impoundment: Whenever any dog is, in the written opinion of the director,

C. Hearing; Procedures. A hearing on whether a dog is declared potentially
dangerous or vicious must be conducted in the following manner:
If the director has investigated and determined that probable cause exists
to believe that a dog is potentially dangerous or vicious, a hearing must be
conducted. The director must prepare a petition specifying the basis as to
why the dog is potentially dangerous or vicious.

Page 3 of 7
[P: \SUPER\AGENDAS\ESMC Animal Control - Complete Update 2010Final.doc
proper or upon a showing of good cause.
6. If the owner /guardian fails to appear at the hearing, the hearing will
nevertheless proceed and an appropriate order must be issued.

without regard to the formal rules of evidence, including circumstances of
mitigation, and the record of any prior violations by the owner /guardian.
The hearing officer must issue a written determination based upon a
preponderance of the evidence, which must be mailed to the
owner /guardian within seven days after the hearing is completed.
9. The hearing officer's decision is final. There is no right to a city council
appeal.
D. Designation of Animal. If an animal is found to be potentially dangerous or
vicious by a preponderance of the evidence, the animal must be so designated on
the records of the animal services agency. Such a designation must be considered
in future determinations involving the animal and/or owner /guardian.
E. Surrender Of Dangerous Dog: Any dog declared after a hearing to be dangerous,
if not already impounded by the department, will be immediately surrendered to
the department.
F. Microchipping Before Release: If at the conclusion of the hearing the hearing
officer determines that the dog will be released, the dog must have a microchip
imbedded subcutaneously in accordance with industry standards before being
released to the owner. The microchipping will be at the owner's expense.
G. Waiver. The owner of a dog for which a potentially dangerous petition has been
issued may irrevocably waive rights to a hearing and any further appeal under
Food and Agricultural Code § 31622 and accept all conditions, sanctions and
penalties set forth in Food and Agricultural Code §§ 31641, 31642 and 61643.

be signed by the dog owner /guardian and received by the director within thirty
days from the date of agreement to waive or a hearing will be scheduled within
thirty days of the agreement to waive.
H. Additional Fees.
In accordance with Food and Agricultural Code § 31641, the

,-4.6
2. The owner /guardian of a dog determined to be vicious must, in addition to
the regular licensing fee, pay to the city an annual fee as may be
established by separate city council resolution to provide for the increased
costs of maintaining the records of the dog.
I. Registration of Animal. The owner /guardian of a vicious dog must, within ten
days of such determination, upon request by the city present said animal at the
animal services agency and allow photographs and measurements of the animal to
be taken for purposes of identification.
J. Undesignation of Animal.
The owner /guardian of a dog found potentially dangerous, who has no
additional violations of any of the provisions of this title, within a thirty -
six -month period from the date of designation as potentially dangerous,
must be removed from the list of potentially dangerous dogs by the
director. The dog may be, but is not required to be, removed from the list
of potentially dangerous dogs before the expiration of the thirty- six -month
period if the owner /guardian of the dog demonstrates to the director that
changes in circumstances or measures taken by the owner /guardian, such
as training of the dog, mitigated the risk to public safety.
2. The owner /guardian of a dog found vicious, who has no additional
violations of any of the provisions of this title, after a thirty- six -month
period from the date of designation as vicious, may apply to the director to
remove the animal from the list of vicious animals. The director has the
discretion to remove the animal from the list of vicious animals upon
proof of the successful completion of at least eight weeks of formal
obedience training, other similar evidence of training, or other
rehabilitative efforts designed to mitigate the risk to public safety."
SECTION 7: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by
a court of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that such invalidity will not affect the
effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end; the provisions of this
Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 8: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the project is based on
the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute
and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major
limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council's lack of knowledge of future events. In
all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to
this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and
national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which
it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
Page 5 of 7
[P: \SUPERWGENDAS\ESMC Animal Control - Complete Update 2010Final.doc
SECTION 9: Ongoing Prosecution. Repeal or amendment of any provision of the ESMC will
not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and
imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance's effective date. Any
such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting
violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 10: Reversion. If this entire Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court
of competent jurisdiction, any repeal of the ESMC or other City Ordinance by this Ordinance
will be rendered void and cause such ESMC provision or other the city ordinance to remain in
full force and effect for all purposes.
SECTION 11: Recordation. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of
this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of original ordinances;
make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15)
days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in
accordance with California law.
SECTION 12: Effectiveness. This Ordinance will become effective on the thirty -first (31 st) day
following its passage and adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 21St day of December, 2010.

REVIEWED BY: Bob Hyland, Human Resour es Director
APPROVED BY: Jack Wayt, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
As required, the City files with the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) the annual Resolutions
reflecting changes in the City's contribution for employees and annuitants under the Public Employees
Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA).
Council approved the Resolutions for 2011 contributions at its meeting on November 16, 2010. On
November 23, 2010, PERS informed staff that new Resolution format requirements were put in place
effective with the 2011 Resolutions. In order to meet the new format requirements, staff is re- submitting the
Resolutions to Council for approval.
The Resolutions now contain mandatory language regarding compliance with Government Code 7507.
Before an employer adopts certain benefit changes for their employees, employers must obtain services of an
actuary to prepare future annual cost impact results and make those results available at a public meeting at
least two weeks before implementation of benefit changes. Although the City is not making any benefit
changes to the existing health plans, certification of compliance is required as the contribution changes also
apply to retirees. Staff plans to bring the Resolutions to Council for adoption at its meeting on January 18,
2011.
The City of El Segundo contracts the services of Actuary John Bartel of Bartel Associates, LLP. Mr. Bartel
has provided the City with actuarial analyses and valuation reports for a number of years. In accordance with
Government Code 7507, Mr. Bartel previously conducted an actuarial analysis for the City which included a
health insurance component.
Changes in the contribution amounts are as follows:
Employee Group
2010 Contribution
2011 Contribution
City Employees Association
$970.77 /month
$1096.36 /month
Firefighters Association
$1045.13 /month
$1177.38 /month
Police Officers Association
$1045.13 /month
$1177.38 /month
Police Support Services Emp. Assoc
$970.77 /month
$1096.36 /month
Supervisory & Professional Association
$1070.25 /month
$1136.27 /month
The City's maximum contribution for the retirees in all of these groups is the same as for active, represented
employees.
The fiscal impact presented to Council on November 16, 2010 reflected the incremental cost of $31,600 for
active employees. This Report also includes the incremental cost of $32,600 for retired employees. The
budgeted amounts for Fiscal Year 2010 -2011 are $2.0 million for retiree health and $2.571 million for active
employees and the incremental cost increase was included in the adopted FY 2010 -2011 budget.
