(Fiscal Impact: $97,765). RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Open public hearing and take testimony; 2. Close public hearing and discuss item; 3.

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 CDBG Program Administration (maximum 10 %) $9,339 (CDBG) + $5,661 (GF) *= $15,000 *Appropriation to be approved during City's 2011 -2012 budget cycle P: \Planning & Building Safcty \0 Planning - Old \CDBG \Annual Budget CC Reports \2010.12.21.CDBG 2011.12 ccmtg.doc 3 t� EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: December 21, 2010 AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Committees, Commissions and Boards AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to open the recruitment process for the positions on the Committees, Commissions and Boards ( "CCBs ") that will expire in the year 2011.

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 Use Permit application (EA No. 894 and AUP No. 10 -09) for 331 North Sepulveda Boulevard. 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 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 20 ABC license at 331 North Sepulveda Boulevard.

Silverman, Walgreens Co. Force El Segundo LLC 894 and REQUEST: An Administrative Use Permit request to allow the on -site sale and off -site consumption of alcohol at an existing Walgreens store (Type 20 Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License). PROPERTY INVOLVED: 330 North Sepulveda Boulevard 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. Ill. ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting approval of an Administrative Use Permit to allow an 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). On October 13, 2005, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 2593 allowing the subdivision of the 2.36 -acre property and the construction of the PAPlanning & Building Safety \0 Planning - Old \PROJECTS (Planning) \876 - 900 \EA -894\ EA -894 CUP 10 -09 330 N. Sepulveda Blvd ( ; PC sr.doc V Walgreens store (EA -668, SUB 05 -05). The conditions of approval adopted for that project did not prohibit sale and consumption of alcohol as an allowed use. Pursuant to ESMC §15- 5C -4(A), sale of alcohol require the approval an Administrative Use Permit. 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. 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. The surrounding land uses are as follows: Off - street Parking There are 113 existing off - street parking spaces on the property, which meets the number of required parking spaces. The applicant will not alter the configuration of the existing parking and loading spaces. The proposed accessory use does not expand floor area already dedicated to retail and therefore does not require any additional off - street parking spaces. Planning staff reviewed the application and the Planning and Building Safety Director made the necessary findings to grant an Administrative Use Permit. The attached letter specifies all of the required findings for the permit. I11. INTER - DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS The project application and plans were circulated to all departments and all comments are attached to the report. Staff has incorporated those comments as conditions of approval where appropriate. IV. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities).

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.

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: PROPOSED RESTAURANT PROPOSED SQUARE FOOTAGE NUMBER OF SEATS Indoor Dining /Bar 1,711 SF 117 seats Outdoor Patio 920 SF 60 seats Total 2,631 net SF of seating area 177 seats 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). 2 050 The following chart is the parking analysis for the proposed uses: PROPOSED PROPOSED SQUARE RESTAURANT FOOTAGE - REQUIRED REQUIRED PARKING SPACES PARKING RATIO Indoor Dining 1,711 net SF — 1 Space /75 SF 22.81 Parking Spaces and Bar Non - dining area 1,649 SF— 1 Space /250 SF 6.60 Parking Spaces Outdoor Patio 720 SF —1 Space /75 SF* 9.6 Parking Spaces Total 4,080 net SF 39 Parking Spaces ** ` 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 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. 0 5 Table 4 -1 Footnotes 2007 CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE Type of Building Water Closets" rings•" Lavatories Bathtubs or Showers Drinking Fountainskl %" or Occupancy" (Fixtures per Person) (Fixtures per Person) (Fixtures per Person) (Fixtures per Person) (Fixtures per Person) Schools — for staff use Male Female Male Male Female All schools 1: 1 -15 1:1-15 1 per 50 1 per 40 1 per 40 2:16 -35 2:16.35 3:36 -55 3:36 -55 Over 55, add 1 fixture for each additional 40 persons.

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). ......... _.__..._....

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.

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.

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.

We offer 3,100 professionals throughout the country, with 140 professional staff in California. Our track record for providing quality services is evidenced by 87 percent of the work we receive being from repeat clients. PBS &J has more than 50 years of experience preparing environmental documents and associated technical studies, including the services requested by the City of El Segundo. We are familiar with the unique issues of El Segundo through our recent work in the city and our experience completing similar projects. PBS &J has extensive experience preparing most of the technical studies required to support environmental analyses prepared under CEQA. Our qualified in -house staff will prepare the historic resources analysis for the 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 �^® { � Pranced on F2ecycled Paper ' �J an Atkins eompaay `+i PBS &f Proposal # 0413 01 772 1:1 110 .L Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted LivinglSenior Housing Project 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 1PylPrinted on Recycled Paper an Atkins company �/ PBS &J Proposal # 04 13 01 772 1.1 110 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Protect 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. ti8 m an Atkins company Printed on Recycled Paper PBS &J Proposal # 0413 0 t 772,J 110 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project CEQA/NEPA On -Call Environmental Consulting 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 ii ' � an Atkins company Printed on Recycled Paper �.J PBS &J Proposal # 0413:017721 1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project of the Hollywood Park Racetrack and Casino, as this property is to be redeveloped during the 20 -year timeframe of this General Plan Update.

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 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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. Redondo Shores Shopping Center EIR (ity of Redondo Beach PBS &J prepared an EIR to evaluate the impacts associated with development of a 6 -acre commercial shopping center at the southeast corner of Beryl Street and Pacific Coast an Atkins company P. -loved on Recycled Paper - i PBS &J Proposal # 0413:01772 1 1 110 �) 1 � 1 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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 PBS &J Proposal # 0413 :017721.1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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. r�® ,f Pr n[uJ on Regded Paper _ an Atkins company eiJ PBS &J Proposal # 0413.01772 1 .I 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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. y 1 q i Y P�® P, mted o� Recycled Paper an Atkins company ail PBS &f Proposal # 04 13 017721.1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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- L J ln® u. lJJ Printed on Recycled Paper an Atkins company PB5 &J Proposal # 04 13:0 17721.1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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 1�U Panted on aery�led Paper _ an Atkins company '�S/ PBS &J Proposal # 0413.017721 1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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. �^® Prin[ed on Recycled Paper an Atkins C0111p2f1y PBS &J Proposal # 0413 0 1772 1 1 1 10 r+ Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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.

Unique issues for this project are traffic and safety related to the adjacent rail line and transmission towers. This project was completed on time and under the proposed budget. Waterfront Grand Resort and Conference Center Supplemental EIR Addendum Oty of Huntington Beach 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 Waterfront Addendum #4 City of Huntington Readi PBS &J prepared an Addendum to a Supplemental EIR for a 200 -unit residential development located in the city of Huntington Beach. The project, located within the boundaries of the coastal zone, was to retain a historic, though degraded, wetland complex. As such, indirect impacts to the preserved on -site wetlands, as well as other wetlands located downstream of the project site, were a primary consideration in the environmental document. 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. This protect was completed on time and within the proposed budget. Huntington Beach Pacific City Program EIR City of Huntington Reach The City of Huntington Beach selected PBS &J to prepare a Program EIR to assess potential environmental effects associated with a specific plan for a large - scale, mixed - use urban center. 'This high - profile project was located off Pacific Coast Highway across from Huntington State Beach between the Waterfront Hilton and the Huntington Beach Pier. This development included high - quality retail, restaurant, commercial, entertainment, office, hospitality, residential, and active /passive recreation uses. The City envisioned this development as one that would provide tremendous visitor - serving opportunities. PBS &J staff provided expert environmental consultation and public facilitation services to the City, legal team, designers, federal /state /regional /local agencies, community- based organizations, and citizen groups. Besides the comprehensive nature of the Program EIR, major issues for this project were traffic, view preservation, mass /buWscale, groundwater, noise and air quality, and potential impacts on neighboring residences. This project was completed on time and within the proposed budget.

In addition, given the project's close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, geologic and hydrologic issues associated with soil stability, seismicity, and runoff were also evaluated in the EIR, focusing particularly on potential impacts from subsurface structures such as parking facilities. 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.

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 Prin[ed on Recycled Paper an Atkins company PBS &f Proposal # 04 13:0 1 772 1.1 110 Proposal to Provide CEDA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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.

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. lP�m 14J Fan Atkins company Printed o� Recycled P�Pe, W PBS &J Proposal # 04 1 3 0 1 7721.1 110 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project The development of an environmental document and associated technical studies that amplify analyses with maps, diagrams, tables, illustrations, photographs, and other techniques so that discussions and technical data are clearly understood. ► A process that fully analyzes both options and alternatives of the Assisted Living /Senior Housing project —full analysis will guide the City to the best option that meets the needs of the City and its community.

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. i4^ 1Py® j Atkins on Recyded Paper Zit tkln5 company 4L/ PBS &J Proposal # 0413.01772 i .I 110 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing 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.

(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: 1 Existing Conditions ® Opening Year • Without Project is With Project — Option 1 • With Project — Option 2 1 General Plan Build -out • Without Project • With Project — Option 1 • With Project — Option 2 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.

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. 0 Prepare a stand -alone traffic study summarizing our analysis methodology, study findings, and recommendations.

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 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 eliminate adverse impacts on cultural resources to less - than- significant levels will be identified. tjo Printed on Recycled Paper u- an Atkins Company `.,C/ PBS &J Proposal # 04 13:01772 1:1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEDA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project OPTION A: WIND TASK 3 Prepare Administrative Draft IS /MND Subtask 3A prepare Administrative Diraft ,t If it has been determined that an IS /MND is the appropriate CEQA document for the proposed project, PBS &J will prepare an IS /MND that is consistent with the procedural and substantive provisions of Sections 15063 and 15072 and Appendices C and G of the CEQA Guidelines. PBS &J would also be responsible for preparing the Notice of Completion (NOC). The objective of this task is to prepare a comprehensive, accurate, and objective project -level IS /MND for the proposed project that fully complies with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines (both as amended throughout submittal of the Draft IS /MND) 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 IS /MND will be to thoroughly and accurately analyze the environmental 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 i Agricultural Resources ► Air Quality Biological Resources 1 Climate Change Cultural Resources M Geology and Soils b Hazards and Hazardous Materials Hydrology and Water Quality Land Use and Planning Mineral Resources t Noise ► Population and Housing 11v Public Services lo Recreation Transportation and Traffic Utilities and Service Systems 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.

In recent 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.

Further, the MMRP will be designed to ensure compliance with all adopted mitigation measures during project implementation. The MMRP will be in table format and will specify project- specific mitigation measures, as well as standard conditions of approval that are applicable to the project, if requested by the City. Mitigation timing and responsible parties will also be identified. The objective of the MMRP is to ensure compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, as mandated by Assembly Bill 3180 (Cortese 1988), which requires that a lead agency adopt an MMRP at the time an IS /MND is certified. An estimated budget has been prepared for the responses to comments effort. While the actual scope and extent of public comments (in either written or oral format) cannot be definitively determined at this time, we have tried to provide a conservative, yet realistic, estimate of the scope of work that would be required for this project, in order to avoid the need for a contract amendment.

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 Utilities and Service Systems 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 anticipated that comments received on the Screencheck Draft IS /NOP 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. Subtask 3B Attend Scoping Meeting Members of the PBS &J team will attend a Scoping Meeting for the proposed project.

In addition, PBS &J would be available to present the purpose of the Scoping Meeting, provide an overview of the CEQA process, and answer questions raised by the public regarding the CEQA process and /or general questions regarding technical and analytic methods. PBS &J's primary role in the Scoping Meeting is to solicit and /or record public input regarding the scope and content of the Draft EIR. PBS &J will prepare a memorandum summarizing the key environmental issues of public concern that were raised at the Scoping Meeting.

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 1 Project Description, including project objectives, project location(s), project characteristics, and required approvals i Introduction to the Analysis 1 Environmental Analysis • Environmental Setting • Regulatory Framework (applicable federal, State, local, plans, policies, and standards) is Thresholds of Significance • Project Environmental Impacts (short -term, long- term, direct, and indirect) • Mitigation Measures (for potentially significant environmental issues) is Level of Significance after Mitigation • Cumulative Environmental Impacts (short -term, long -term, direct, and indirect) Ir Alternatives (up to three alternatives will be analyzed as per the RFP) 1 Long -Term Implications (including growth- inducing impacts, a summary of project - related and cumulative significant and unavoidable impacts, and significant �5J 77 c 7 N-11 Printed on Recycled Paper an Atkins company PBS &i Proposal # 0413 017721.1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project *0# . Scope irreversible environmental changes or commitments project, the level of significance of impacts, of resources) recommended mitigation measures, and the level ► 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 and will briefly describe the impacts of the proposed iJ0 Printed on Retyded Paper an Atkins company �.iJ PBS &J Proposal # 0413 017721 1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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.

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 EIR 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 EIR), 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 EIR 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.

The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) would be provided separately, but prepared concurrently with the Final EIR. All comments will be numbered (to indicate comment letter and comment number), and the responses to those comments will be similarly numbered to allow easy correlation. In addition, where the text of the Draft EIR must be revised, the text will be isolated as "text changes" in the Response to Comments volume, indicating deleted text by strikeout and inserted text by double - underline. The text of the Draft EIR will not be revised. The Final FIR will collectively consist of the Draft EIR, the Response to Comments document, and the technical appendices. It is assumed that the Final EIR would be provided at least 10 days prior to consideration for certification by the City to any commenting public agency and any member of the public who has requested the document. Further, the MMRP will be designed to ensure compliance with all adopted mitigation measures during project implementation. The MMRP will be in table format and will specify project- specific mitigation measures, as well as standard conditions of approval that are applicable to the project, if requested by the City. Mitigation timing and responsible parties will also be identified. The objective of the MMRP is to ensure compliance with Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, as mandated by Assembly Bill 3180 (Cortese 1988), which requires that a lead agency adopt an MMRP at the time an EIR is certified.

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. Aqviculfural Resources.;i tt "si 4. tla €sii rJ 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. ;i" Quality fl w( lls, El, ll,frs a 1, 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 �I 1® an Atkins company Printed o� Recydea Paper Printed �1J PBS &J Proposal # 04 13 017721.1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project tecit�' ►n .'Sc© of W rk 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 an Atkins company 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. an Atkins company Printed on Recycled Paper PBS &f Proposal # 0413.017721.1 110 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project cultural Resource", 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. Hazor ris and Flazordi)uo MettCAGIS ' i'��k.. Al 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, b 1�® an Atkins company Prin[esJ on Recycled Paper t,{.! PBS &J Proposal # 04 110 1 7721:1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project e or 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. lPy® Printed on Recycled Paper an Atkins company PBS &J Proposal # 0413 0 1772 1 :1 1 10 Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Nonsing Project Lund Use and Plannin 1: i s a,, Ir jti 5 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 document will evaluate any potential conflicts between 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 surrounding land uses, such as difference in the physical scale of development, noise levels, traffic levels, or hours of operation. The environmental document will evaluate the extent to which adopted City development standards or proposed design standards would eliminate or minimize potential conflicts between the proposed project and adjacent uses. As described in Section 3, the proposed project includes the following planning entitlements: A Specific Plan to allow a maximum floor area ratio (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 t A Development Agreement in order to implement the proposed project The potential impacts of the above requirements will be discussed in the environmental document. Mineral eral Reso rcea? ��xC..RS�A d tk'3�p��lk •k a�. ��F °mot 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: ► Leq, the equivalent energy noise level, is the average acoustic energy content of noise for a stated period of time; for evaluating community impacts, this rating scale does not vary, regardless of whether the noise occurs during the day or the night Is L, , the minimum instantaneous noise level mm experienced during a given period of time I, L the maximum instantaneous noise level experienced during a given period of time Existing 24 -hour noise levels will be calculated for various roadway segments in the project vicinities using �� 1® crlr,ed or, a��yrlea Paper an Atkins company PBS &f Proposal # 0413 017721 J 110 Proposal to Provide CEDA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Project 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. 1 *ohllt Soervices -­\dh, ,n '%'I. 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 preparing an EIR, Public Services will likely be scoped out in the IS /NOR. Visitors of the proposed project may utilize City of El Segundo parks or recreational facilities on more than an occasional basis. 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 which may include: a pool /therapy pool, fitness center, community room, 1Py® Printed on Recycled Pape, � an Atkins company h, 4dl PBS &f Proposal # 0413 017721 1 1 10 1 V Proposal to Provide CEQA Documentation for the Imperial School Site Assisted Living/Senior Housing Protect library, arts & crafts area, dining hall, bistro, garden, and/ or a theater. During our site visit, the athletic field on- site appeared to be maintained and in use. The potential impacts as a result of losing the on -site athletic field will be discussed in the environmental document. The environmental document will update the list of existing and planned park/ recreational facilities in the area, and determine whether there is a significant increase in the demand for parkland /recreation facilities generated by the proposed project, which is considered unlikely. Trans,poriation and Traffic A iullt, y t t€ s .s ;,f As indicated under Subtask 2A above, KHA will produce a stand -alone Traffic Study that provides recommendations for the mitigation of project impacts, if any. The report will include the appropriate maps showing the study area(s), study intersections, and locations of the cumulative projects, diagrams showing peak hour turning movement volumes at the study intersections for each scenario, and trip distribution percentages. All calculations will be provided. PBS &J will respond to comments received from El Segundo staff. The MND or EIR will summarize the results of the Traffic Study. Utilities Service Systems i i ,€ J °% P­, ,r The analysis of wet utilities (sewer, water, and storm drain) will focus on the adequacy of existing City systems to accommodate the proposed project. With respect to sewer, this section of the environmental document will address whether the sewage generated by either option of the proposed project would exceed the wastewater treatment 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. 1P�9m an Atkins Company P� inred on Recycled Paper PBS &f Proposal # 0413 017721 i 110 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. yam, an Atkins company Plmmd on R-yded Paper �f PBS &J Proposal # 0413.017721 10 1 6J O 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.

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.

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. u F an Atkins company Printed on Recycled Paper PBS &J Proposal #0413017721J 1 10 Proprsal to Phywd CHIADecumertehml for the Irt Iwibi Stool SiteAssuis, IIvulglSenOU Hocwng Pli)jrI IVUR �n !

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. Ridgeline Equestrian Estates, Orange, California. As part of the environmental team, KHA prepared the Traffic Impact Study for the Ridgeline Equestrian Estates development in the Orange Park Acres area of the City of Orange. The project proposes to replace the now - closed Ridgeline Country Club use with a 39 -unit equestrian estate residential 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 traffic generated by the existing country club uses, and also addressed the impact of the proposed project on the movement of bicyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians throughout the project area.

FISCAL IMPACT: N/A Amount Budgeted: N/A Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): Developer Funded Trust Fund To Be Established (703 Account) ORIGINATED BY: Kimberly Christensen, AICP, Planning Managers REVIEWED BY: Greg Carpenter, Director Planning and Building Safety 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.

(Fiscal Impact: None) RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: Waive second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1457 for Animal Control; and/or 2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item. ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: 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. 10 ORDINANCE NO. 1457 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE §§ 6- 2-13, 6 -3 -2, 6 -3 -3, 6 -3 -6, 6 -5 -5 AND 6 -5 -6 REGARDING THE REGULATION OF ANIMALS WITHIN THE CITY'S JURISDICTION.

SECTION 3: ESMC § 6 -3 -3 is amended to read as follows: "6 -3 -3: LICENSE APPLICATION/RENEWAL: The city will print a sufficient number of applications to meet the requirements of this chapter. The applications will provide for the description of the dog for which the license fee is paid and the name and address of the owner of the dog. The receipts will also designate the rabies vaccination date and the sex of the dog for which the license fee has been paid." SECTION 4: ESMC § 6 -3 -6 is amended to read as follows: "6 -3 -6: RABIES CONTROL: Page 1 of 7 [P: \SUPER\AGENDAS\ESMC Animal Control - Complete Update 2010Final.doc / . , n .l..J A.

Should not be vaccinated with rabies vaccine by reason of age, infirmity or other disability, which disability is shown on the face of the certificate and to the satisfaction of the person issuing the license to be in effect at the time."

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.

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.
