ORDINANCE 1493ORDINANCE NO. 1493

ORDINANCE NO. 1470 FOR THE 222 KANSAS STREET
SPECIFIC PLAN (222 KSSP) PROJECT LOCATED AT 1520-
1598 EAST GRAND AVENUE AND 222 -250 KANSAS STREET
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:
A. On September 4, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No.
4779 and Ordinance No. 1470, approving the 222 Kansas Street
Specific Plan (222 KSSP) project;
B. On January 9, 2014, Mar Ventures, Inc. requested that Condition
No. 37 be modified to remove the requirement for an irrevocable
offer to dedicate an additional 9 feet along the entire Grand Avenue
frontage of the subject property;
C. On February 4, 2014, the City Council held a public meeting and
considered the information provided by City staff, public testimony
and the applicant, Mar Ventures, Inc;
D. On February 4, 2014, the City Council introduced and waived first
reading of Ordinance No. 1493; and
E. This Ordinance and its findings are made based upon testimony
and evidence presented to the Council at its February 4, 2014
hearing inciuding, without ii-nitatio�l, thU Stan 1UPLAL 5ubrriitied by
the Department of Planning and Building Safety.
SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. Nothing in this Ordinance affects the
California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") determination made by the City
Council on September 4, 2012; by itself, this Ordinance does not constitute a
"project" for the purposes of CEQA.
SECTION 3: Approvals. The City Council modifies Condition No. 37 in
Ordinance No. 1470 to read as follows:
"Before the City issues a Certificate of Occupancy and records the
final map, the applicant must dedicate 10 feet along the entire
Grand Avenue frontage of the subject property. The applicant must
enter into an agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney,
holding the City harmless and indemnifying it from any hazardous
materials or contamination that may affect the property offered for
dedication."
SECTION 4: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and
determinations in this Ordinance are based on the competent and substantial
evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the
Project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and
determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely
supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 5: 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 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.
SECTION 6: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the
findings which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the
record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an
indication that a particular finding, is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 7: Effectiveness of ESMC. 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

SECTION 8: Memoralization. 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 9: 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.

first (31 st) day following its passage and adoption.
