I. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City Council approved the Corporate Campus development project in 2002 (the
"Original Project "). The Original Project (EA -548) allowed development of up to
2,175,000 square feet of office, light industrial, retail, restaurant, health club,
hotel /conference, medical /dental office, and day care uses on a 46.5 acre site. Building
heights range from low -rise (1 -2 story) to mid -rise (4 -6 stories). The Original Project has
a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of .99. The Original Project Site (46.5— acres) boundaries are
Atwood Way to the north, Douglas Street to the west, Nash Street to the west, and
Mariposa Avenue to the south (the "Site "). The Original Project includes internal private
streets for circulation purposes. The approval also included a subdivision (Vesting
Tentative Map No. 53570) for a maximum of 26 parcels.
On December 3, 2013 the City Council approved a 625,205 square -foot development
project (the "Revised Project ") that would be developed in 3 phases under Environmental
Assessment No. EA -1021, Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 13 -02, Subdivision No.
SUB 13 -05 (Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287) to create 32 lots, and Development
Agreement No. DA 13 -01, which modified a portion of the Original Project's 46.5 acre
area approved in EA -548 in 2002 (See attached Site Plan Exhibit "A "). An Addendum to
the previously Certified Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was prepared for EA-
1021 which was approved.
The Applicant is proposing to modify the previous 2002 and 2013 approvals. The new
project would modify Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 (the "New Project ") to reduce
the area of the map to include only the development of the Elevon Project which is
comprised of 217,637 square feet of office and retail uses located in 17 two -story
buildings (currently designated as "Phase 1" of the Revised Project). This Elevon Project
is currently under construction; it would not change if the New Project is approved.
The Phase 2 area of the previously approved vesting tentative map was sold by the
Applicant to EVA Airways and the Phase 3 area is pending sale to the Lakers. The
Applicant retains ownership of the Elevon Project. Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287
approved in 2013 has not been recorded by the Applicant. The New Project would omit
the Phase 2 and Phase 3 areas from Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287. Consequently, the
Phase 2 and the Phase 3 areas will remain a part of the original subdivision recorded for
the Corporate Campus Specific Plan area (Vesting Tract Map No. 53570). If the New
Project is approved, the Applicant will proceed with recording a modified Vesting
Tentative Map No. 72287 with the County of Los Angeles.
II. Project AgWications
The applications include the following:
1) Environmental Assessment No. EA -1091 - An Addendum to the certified Final
Environmental Impact Report was approved by the City Council in 2013. The New
2
Project does not require a new environmental document pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines § 15168(c)(2) since the New Project would not result in any new or
increased environmental impacts or require new mitigation measures. A Notice of
Consistency with the EIR and Addendum to the FEIR is proposed for the requested
modification to the vesting tentative map.
2) Subdivision No. SUB 1.4=11 (Vesting Tentative Man No. 72287) —The New Project
proposes a subdivision modification to reduce the area of the subdivision and the
number of lots from 32 to 24.
If the New Project is approved, the modified Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 would
reduce the area from 23.87 acres to 13 acres and would be comprised of 24 lots that will
only include the Phase 1 " Elevon" Project (see attached Exhibit "C ").
The proposed tentative map modification will not impact the proposed building layout,
size, or configuration of the Elevon Project and it will comply with the conditions of
approval for the Corporate Campus Specific Plan, as amended, relative to lot size, lot
frontage, and access.
III. Analysis
Please refer to Sections IV and V of the Planning Commission Staff Report for a detailed
discussion of the project analysis and findings.
IV. Environmental Review /Certified EIR and Addendum
On January 2, 2002, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report
and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program. On November 19, 2013, the
City Council approved an Addendum to the FEIR for the proposed Project under EA-
1021. The City prepared a Notice of Consistency with the General Plan and Addendum to
the FEIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15168(c)(2) and on February 12, 2015, the
Planning Commission recommended that the City Council find that a new environmental
document is not required for the proposed project modifications pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines § 15168(c)(2) since the proposed changes to the vesting tentative map would
not result in any new or increased environmental impacts or require new mitigation
measures.
V. Application Findings
In order to approve the project, the City Council must take certain actions related to the
proposed project related to the environmental review and Subdivision. The required
findings for each application are discussed in detail in the attached draft Resolution.
Staff believes that the City Council may make the required findings to adopt the Finding
of Consistency and to approve the Subdivision.
VI. Planning Commission Bearing and Public Input
3
On February 12, 2015, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed
amendment to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287. The Planning Commission received
public testimony from the applicant. The Planning Commission did not receive any
testimony from the public regarding the proposed project. After conducting the hearing
and receiving documentary information, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution
No. 2768, recommending that City Council approve the modification to the Vesting
Tentative Map.
VII. Conclusion and Recommendation
Planning staff believes that the proposed Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 meets the
mandatory findings as set forth in the staff report and recommends that the City Council
adopt the attached draft Resolution approving Environmental Assessment No. EA -1091
approving the Finding of Consistency for the project and approving Subdivision No. SUB

Subdivision No. Sub 14 -11 (Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287) to modify a
previously approved Vesting Tentative Map (No. 72287) regulating the
Corporate Campus project area (the "Project "). The Project would reduce
the land area from 23.87 acres to 13 acres and reduce the number of lots
from 32 lots to 24 lots. The remaining land (10.87 acres) is subject to the
requirements of Vesting Tentative Map No. 53570 (the original subdivision
for the entire 46.5 -acre Corporate Campus Specific Plan Area);
B. The Project was reviewed by the City's Planning and Building Safety
Department for, in part, consistency with the General Plan, Corporate
Campus Specific Plan, and conformity with the El Segundo Municipal
Code ( "ESMC ");
C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under
the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§
21000, et seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal.
Code of Regulations § §15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the
City's Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805,
adopted March 16, 1993);
D. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review and
scheduled a public hearing regarding the project before the Planning
Commission for February 12, 2015;
E. On February 12, 2015, the Commission opened a public hearing to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications

Resolution No. 2768 recommending that the City Council approved the
project;
-1-
F. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the testimony and
evidence presented to the City Council at its March 3, 2015 public hearing
including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Planning and
Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds that the
following facts exist and makes these conclusions:
A. The proposed subdivision is proposed on an approximately 23.87 -acre
portion of the 46.5 -acre Corporate Campus Project site located in the
northeast portion of the City of El Segundo. The proposed subdivision
would create 24 lots.
B. The 46.5 -acre project site (Corporate Campus Project Site) which includes
the 23.87 acres in the proposed revised Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287,
has a Corporate Campus land use designation and the zoning designation
is the Corporate Campus Specific Plan. The FAR for the Corporate
Campus land use designation is 0.99:1 and would permit up to 2,175,000
square feet of development. The Revised Project included approximately
625,205 square feet of new commercial office and retail development that
will be developed at a 0.60:1 FAR.
C. The modification of Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 under SUB No. 14-
11 will reduce the land area from 23.87 acres to 13 aces and will only
include the Phase 1 area of the previously approved Revised Project.
Phase 1 is comprised of the 217,637 square -foot Elevon project. The
Elevon Project will not be affected by the proposed modifications to
Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 relative to building location, building
size, and setbacks. The Elevon Project will be developed with a FAR of
0.38:1. The lots proposed under the modified Vesting Tentative Map No.
72287 will meet the development standards under the CCSP for lot size,
lot frontage, and will have a maximum of 24 lots.
D. The Corporate Campus Specific Plan Zone allows for the transfer of
density rights within the development area to insure that the overall
density of the site is consistent with the Corporate Specific Plan Zoning.
Any donor parcels for FAR purposes will have covenants recorded stating
the maximum FAR permitted on the parcel.
E. Ingress and egress will not be affected and will continue to be provided
from driveways with direct access from Douglas Street, Maple Avenue,
Mariposa Avenue, and through driveways that have access through the
existing internal private streets.
F. Parking will continue to be located on surface parking lots for all
development phases including the new Phase 1 area under modified
-2-
Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 and will meet the City's parking
requirements.
G. EA -1091 and SUB No. 14 -11 (Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287) must
comply with the Conditions of Approval established for the Original Project
and Revised Project as approved in 2002 by Planning Commission
Resolution No. 2517, City Council Resolution No. 4241, and Ordinance
No. 1345 and as amended in 2013 by Planning Commission Resolution
No. 2739, City Council Resolution No. 4582, and Ordinance 1492, and as
further amended in Planning Commission Resolution No. 2768 and in this
Resolution.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The City Council makes the following
environmental findings:
A. The City Council certified a Final EIR (FEIR) on January 2, 2002 for the
Corporate Campus project.
B. The City Council approved an Addendum to the FEIR pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines § 15090 on December 3, 2013 as none of the conditions in
CEQA Guidelines § 15162 requiring a subsequent or supplemental EIR
were determined to be present. No new significant effects will result from
the revised project. No significant effects previously examined will be
substantially more severe than shown in the FEIR in accordance with
CEQA Guidelines § 15164(a).
C. In accordance with § 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines, the record on which
the City's findings are based is located at the Planning and Building Safety
Department, City of El Segundo, 350 Main Street, El Segundo, California
90245. The custodian of records is the Director of Planning and Building
Safety.
D. The City determined through findings that a new environmental document
is not required for the proposed modification to Vesting Tentative Map No.
72287 pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15168(c)(2) as the proposed
modifications to the modified Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 would not
result in any new or increased environmental impacts or require new
mitigation measures already established in the Certified FEIR and
Addendum to the Certified FEIR that were previously approved.
E. Because of the facts identified in this Resolution,
requires that a Finding of Consistency with
Addendum to the Certified FEIR be completed
be approved.

the environmental review
the General Plan and
in order for the project to
SECTION 4: General Plan and Specific Plan. The proposed project conforms with the
General Plan as follows:
A. The General Plan contains a number of relevant Goals, Objectives, and
Policies. The Original and Revised Project listed a number of Goals,
Objectives, and Policies that were consistent with the Economic
Development Element, Land Use Element, Circulation Element, Open
Space and Recreation Element, Conservation, Air Quality Element, Noise
Element, and Public Safety Element of the General Plan. The modification
of Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not affect the project's ability to
meet the established Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the General Plan,
B. The modification of the Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will only affect
parcel configuration and the number of lots created. The proposed
revised subdivision will be subject to the same conditions of approval
previously established under City Council Resolution No. 4241 and 4582
respectively and Ordinance No. 1345 and Ordinance No. 1482 with a few
added conditions to ensure compliance with the requirements of the
General Plan and the Corporate Campus Specific Plan.
SECTION 5: Subdivision. The City Council cannot make any of the findings for denial
set forth in ESMC § 14 -1 -6 for the following reasons:
A. The proposed modified map is consistent with applicable general and
specific plans as specified in Government Code § 65451. As set forth in
Section 4, this project meets the goals and objectives of the General Plan.
B. The design of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable
general and specific plans. As set forth in Section 4, this project meets
the goals and objectives of the General Plan.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development. As set forth in
Section 4, this project meets the goals and objectives of the General Plan.
D. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The proposed project is for the construction of a 217,637 square -foot
commercial office and retail development.
E. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are unlikely
to cause substantial damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat. The proposed project site is located in an
urbanized area. The new commercial office and retail development is not
likely to result in any substantial environmental damage or cause injury to
fish or wildlife or their habitat.
M
F. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is unlikely to cause
serious public health problems. There is no evidence demonstrating that
the proposed new commercial office and retail development is likely to
cause any serious public health problem.
G. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use
of property within the proposed subdivision. The subdivision of the
property for the new commercial office and retail development will not
conflict with any known easements located at, or near the property.
SECTION 5: Approvals.
A. Subject to the existing conditions established under Resolution No. 4582
and Ordinance No. 1492 and the additional conditions in attached Exhibit
"A," the City Council approves a Finding of Consistency, with the General
Plan and Addendum to the Certified FEIR, attached as Exhibit "B; "
B. Subject to the existing conditions previously established under Resolution
No. 4582 and Ordinance No. 1492 and the additional conditions in
attached Exhibit "A," the City Council approves Environmental
Assessment No. EA -1091 and Subdivision No. SUB 14 -11 (Vesting
Tentative Map No. 72287).
SECTION 7: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and
determinations in this Resolution 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
Planning Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by
substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
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 and
Planning Commission'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.
SECTION 9: 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 10: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 11: According to the El Segundo Municipal Code, a copy of this Resolution
shall be mailed to CDC Mar Campus, LLC and to any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 12: This Resolution is the City Council's final decision and will become
effective immediately upon adoption.

FINDING OF CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN AND ADDENDUM TO THE
FEIR FOR THE CORPORATE CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
MODIFICATION OF VESTING TENTATIVE MAP NO. 72287 TO AMEND MAP TO
REDUCE THE AREA FROM 23.87 ACRES TO 13 ACRES AND REDUCE THE
NUMBER OF LOTS FROM 32 LOTS TO 24 LOTS IN THE CORPORATE CAMPUS
SPECIFIC PLAN (CCSP) ZONE
March 2015
The City of El Segundo has received applications proposing to amend Vesting Tentative
Map No. 72287 to reduce the area of the tentative map from 23.87 acre to 13 acres and
reduce the number of lots from 32 lots to 24 lots in the Corporate Campus Specific Plan
(CCSP) Zone. Applications are Environmental Assessment No. EA -1091 and Subdivision
No. SUB 14 -11 (Vesting Tentative Nap No. 72287)
The proposal to modify the vesting tentative map constitutes a "project" under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Thus, environmental review is required
pursuant to CEQA (Public Resources Code §§ 21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines
(14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq.), and the City of El Segundo CEQA Guidelines.
This document serves as the project environmental documentation pursuant to CEQA.
Background
In 1992, El Segundo adopted a comprehensive update of its General Plan, which included
the required elements. The 1992 General Plan and its subsequent amendments set forth
policy for land use development in El Segundo and within its sphere of influence.
Additionally, on January 2, 2002, the El Segundo City Council certified the FEIR, entitled
El Segundo Corporate Campus Project Development Final Environmental Impact Report
and adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations as Section 4 of City Council
Resolution No. 4241 for the El Segundo Corporate Campus development. Further, the El
Segundo City Council and on December 2, 2013 adopted an Addendum to the FEIR and
re- adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations as Section 3 of City Council
Resolution No. 4852.
The circumstances, impacts, and mitigation requirements identified in the General Plan
EIR and the certified FEIR and Addendum for the Corporate Campus development remain
applicable to the proposed amendments and the amendments do not raise any new issues
and do not cause the level of impacts identified in the General Plan EIR to be exceeded.
Specifically, the Addendum will allow for the development of up 930,025 and the modified
tentative map will not impact the 930,025 square feet of development. Amending the
tentative map to reduce the map area and the number lots will not impact the project or the
subdivision requirements as set forth in the certified FEIR and Addendum for the Corporate
Campus development.
E.xlubit B Finding of Consistency
Relationship of the Modified Vesting Tentative Map to the General Plan
The proposed amendment to the vesting tentative map will not impact the project's ability
to implement the goals, objectives, and policies and programs outlined in the 1992 General
Plan, which include the Economic Development Element, Land Use Element, Circulation
Element, Open Space and Recreation Element, Conservation, Air Quality Element, Noise
Element, and Public Safety Element of the General Plan. The maximum floor area ratio
(FAR) within the Corporate Campus Specific Plan is limited to 0.99:1. The amendment to
the tentative map does not propose any changes to the FAR limits established for the
project and will be developed with a FAR of 0.38:1. Adoption of the proposed amendment
to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not provide for any new development beyond the
previous approvals nor beyond that anticipated by land use policy set forth in the1992
General Plan Update and the subsequent 2005 update of the Land Use Element.
Specifically, the proposed amendment to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 is consistent
with all the goals, objectives, and policies and programs of the General Plan's Economic
Development Element, Land Use Element, Circulation Element, Open Space and
Recreation Element, Conservation, Air Quality Element, Noise Element, and Public Safety
Element.
Environmental Analysis
The proposed amendment to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 is consistent with the FEIR,
entitled El Segundo Corporate Campus, certified by the City Council on January 2, 2002
and the Statement of Overriding Considerations adopted as Section 4 of City Council
Resolution No. 4241 and by the Addendum to the FEIR and re- adopted Statement of
Overriding Considerations as Section 3 of City Council Resolution No. 4852, which was
adopted on December 2, 2013.
CEQA Guidelines § 15168(c)(2) states that if a project is proposed which has been the
subject of a prior certified EIR or adopted Negative Declaration, and "[i]f the [City] finds that
pursuant to Guidelines § 15162, no new effects could occur or new mitigation measures
would be required, the [City] can approve the activity as being within the scope of the
project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be
required."
Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines defines the conditions under which a subsequent
EIR would be required for a project as follows:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which require major revisions of the
EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to
Exhibit B Finding of Consistency
2
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects; and /or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous
EIR was adopted, shows any of the following:
1. The revised project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR;
2. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than
shown in the previous EIR;
3. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in
fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of
the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure
or alternative; or
4. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those
analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the
mitigation measure or alternative.
As stated above, the proposed amendment to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not
result in any land use policy change; thus, the project will not facilitate the creation of any
additional development beyond that anticipated and accounted for at build -out by current
land use policy in the General Plan or the approved FEIR and Addendum forthe Corporate
Campus development. The proposed amendments will not result in any new
environmental effect not already considered in the approved FEIR and Addendum.
Findings
Based on the above analysis, the City Council makes the following findings:
In 1992, the City of El Segundo adopted a comprehensive General Plan update and
certified a Final EIR.
2. In 2002, the City of El Segundo certified a Final EIR and adopted a Statement of
Overriding Considerations for the Corporate Campus development.
3. In 2013, the City of El Segundo adopted an Addendum to the Final EIR and re- adopted
a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Corporate Campus development.
4. On February 12, 2015, the City of El Segundo Planning Commission recommended
that the City Council find that a new environmental document is not required for the
proposed project modifications pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15168(c)(2) since these
changes would not result in any new or increased environmental impacts or require new
mitigation measures.
5. The proposed modification to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not facilitate the
Exhibit B Finding of Consistency
3
creation of any development beyond that anticipated and accounted for by the adopted
General Plan or the certified Final EIR and Addendum for the Corporate Campus
development. The Corporate Campus Specific Plan sets a maximum FAR of 0.99:1
and the certified Final EIR and Addendum to the FEIR for the Corporate Campus
development sets a maximum building area of 930,025 square feet, which will not be
impacted as a result of the modification to the vesting tentative map. The proposed
amendments consist of reducing land area within Tentative Vesting Map No. 72287 and
reducing the amount of lots and will not result in additional floor area as the amendment
does change or alter any buildings either proposed or existing.
6. The proposed amendment is limited to modifications to the vesting tentative map.
7. Adoption of proposed modification to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not result in
any new or increased environmental effects, and no new mitigation measures are
required.
8. Pursuant to Section 151689(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, no new environmental
documentation is required for adoption of the amendments to the ESMC.

PUBLIC HEARING:
February 12, 2015
SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment No. EA -1091 and
Subdivision No. SUB 14 -11 (Vesting Tentative Map No.
72287)
APPLICANT: CDC Mar Campus LLC — William Messori
PROPERTY OWNER: CDC Mar Campus LLC — William Messori
REQUEST: Request to modify a Vesting Tentative Map affecting
the Corporate Campus project area by reducing the
number of lots from 32 lots to 24 and the area reduced
from 23.87 acres to 13 acres.
PROPERTY INVOLVED: 710 North Nash Street (Area bounded by Maple Ave to
r the north, Campus Drive to the south, Douglas Street
to the east, and Campus Square West to the west)
I. Introduction
In 2002, the City Council approved the Corporate Campus development project (the
"Original Project "). The Original Project (EA -548) allows development of up to
2,175,000 square feet of office, light industrial, retail, restaurant, health club,
hotel /conference, medical /dental office, and day care uses, along with public
recreational facilities and a City fire station and retail on a 46.5 acre site. Building
heights range from low -rise (1 -2 story) to mid -rise (4 -6 stories). The Original Project
has a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of .99. The Original Project Site (46.5— acres) boundaries
are Atwood Way to the north, Douglas Street to the east, Nash Street to the west, and
Mariposa Avenue to the south (the "Site "). The Original Project includes internal
private streets for circulation purposes. The application included a subdivision (Vesting
Tentative Map No. 53570) for a maximum of 26 parcels.
On December 3, 2013 the City Council approved a 625,205 square -foot development
project (the "Revised Project ") that would be developed in 3 phases under
Environmental Assessment No. EA -1021, Specific Plan Amendment No. SP 13 -02,
Subdivision No. SUB 13 -05 (Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287), and Development
Agreement No. DA 13 -01, which modified a portion of the Original Project's 46.5 acre
area approved in EA -548 in 2002. An Addendum to the previously Certified Final
Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was prepared for EA -1021 and was also
approved.
Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 was comprised of 23.87 acres and 32 parcels and
the Revised Project was going to be developed in three phases (Phase 1: 13 acres;
Phase 2: 5.87 acres; and Phase 3: 5 acres). Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 has
not been recorded. The Applicant is proposing to modify Vesting Tentative Map No.
72287 to reduce the area of the map to only include the development of Phase 1 (the
" Elevon Project "). The Elevon Project which is comprised of 217,637 square feet of
office and retail uses located in 17 two -story buildings and is currently under
construction will not change as a result of the proposed modification to the vesting
tentative map. The proposed revised tentative map will include 13 acres and it will be
comprised of 24 lots. The Phase 3 area of the vesting tentative map has been sold to
EVA Airways and the Phase 2 area is pending sale by the applicant to the Lakers.
The applicant is requesting the change to the map because the parcel boundaries
along Campus Drive in the existing approval do not align with the parcel boundaries of
the area of land that the applicant is selling to the Lakers which encompasses the
block bounded by Campus Drive to the north, Mariposa Avenue to the south, Parkview
Drive South to the west, and Douglas Street to the east exclusive of the City's Fire
Station No. 2 parcel. If the requested subdivision modification is not approved it would
delay the schedule for processing the Lakers project and require processing an
additional tentative map. If the modified map boundaries are approved, the Phase 2
and Phase 3 areas will remain part of the original subdivision (Vesting Tentative Map
No. 53570).
II. Recommendation
Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission conduct a public hearing;
consider the documentary and testimonial evidence including this report; and then
adopt Resolution No. 2768 (Exhibit 1) recommending that the City Council approve
Environmental Assessment No. EA -1091 and Subdivision No. SUB 14 -11 (Vesting
Tentative Map No. 72287).
III. Project Description
The Project consists of the following:
1. Environmental Assessment No. EA -1091 - An Addendum to the certified Final
Environmental Impact Report was approved by the City Council in 2013. The
proposed modification to the vesting tentative map to reduce the area and number
of lots would not require a new environmental document pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines § 15168(c)2 since the proposed
modifications to Vesting Map No. 72287 would not result in any new or increased
environmental impacts or require new mitigation measures. A Notice of
Consistency with the EIR and Addendum to the FEIR is proposed for the requested
modification to the vesting tentative map.
2. Subdivision No. SUB 14 -11 (Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 A subdivision
modification request is proposed involving a reduction in the area and the number
of parcels from 32 to 24:
2
a) The previously approved Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 was comprised of
23.87 acres within the 46.5 acre CCSP area and created 32 lots and;
b) Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 superseded Tract Map No. 53570 for the
23.87 acre portion of the site and the total lot count within the 46.5 acre CCSP
area was 46 lots, which included existing, proposed development, and future
development.
If approved, the Project would allow the applicant to record the tentative map with the
County of Los Angeles reflecting what is currently under construction (the Elevon
Project) on the lots owned by the Applicant and proposed under the modified vesting
tentative map.
IV. Analysis
The parcels in the proposed 13 -acre modified subdivision are bounded by Campus
Square West to the west, Douglas Street to the east, Maple Avenue to the north, and
Campus Drive to the south. The proposed modified Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287
will retain the same centerline to the street boundary for lots abutting the private
streets within the project site.
The surrounding properties are a mix of heavy industrial, vacant land, and multi -story
office buildings. The surrounding land uses and zoning are described as follows:
Land Use
Zone
North:
Office /Retail /Restaurant
CCSP
South:
Vacant Land /Soccer Field /Fire Station
CCSP
East:
Manufacturing (Northrop Grumman)
MU -N
West:
Hyatt Place Hotel and Vacant Land
CCSP
Each of the lots proposed under modified Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will with
the required minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet and the minimum frontage as
required by the CCSP. The CCSP has a maximum FAR of 0.99, however, individual
parcels are permitted to exceed the 0.99 FAR by transferring development rights for
FAR from other parcels within the CCSP area. Four of the lots (Lot Nos. 2, 3, 13, and
15) will be developed with an FAR that exceeds the .99 FAR. Any transfer of floor area
from one parcel to another parcel will be recorded by covenant as required in the
CCSP. The overall FAR for the 13 -acre modified Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will
be 0.38:1.
Findings for Denial of a Subdivision
ESMC § 14 -1 -6 allows the Planning Commission to deny a request for a subdivision
map only if it makes any of the findings consistent with Government Code § 66474.
Based upon the administrative record, it does not appear that any facts would support
findings for denial (see findings in attached draft Resolution) for the proposed
modification of Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287. The vesting tentative map would
expire twenty -four months after approval or conditional approval but may be extended
for a period not to exceed five years, pursuant to Government Code § 66452.6 and
3
ESMC § 14 -1 -12. The development rights expire when the vesting tentative map
expires unless a final map is approved before the expiration date.
V. Zoning, General Plan, and Specific Plan Consistency
The El Segundo General Plan land use and zoning designation for the Project Site is
Corporate Campus Specific Plan. The proposed modification of Vesting Tentative Map
No. 72287 involves the adjustment of property lines and will not impact compliance
with the development standards for the project that was previous approved Under EA-
1021 in 2013. In addition, the proposed modification to Vesting Tentative Map No.
72287 does not propose to add any new floor area to the previously approved project
and thus will remain consistent with CCSP zone development standards and the
relevant Element Goals, Objectives and Policies of the City of El Segundo General
Plan as specified in the attached draft resolution.
VI. Environmental Review
On January 2, 2002, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report
(FEIR) and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program. On November 19,
2013, the City Council approved an addendum to the FEIR for the proposed Project under
EA -1021.
CEQA Guidelines § 15168(c)(2) states that if a project is proposed which has been the
subject of a prior certified EIR or adopted Negative Declaration, and "If the City finds
that pursuant to Guidelines § 15162, no new effects could occur or new mitigation
measures would be required, the [City] can approve the activity as being within the
scope of the project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental
document would be required."
The proposed modification to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 is consistent with the
FEIR, certified by the City Council on January 2, 2002 and the Addendum to the
Certified FEIR adopted by the City Council on November 19, 2013. None of the
elements set forth in Public Resources Code § 21166 or CEQA Guidelines § 15162
exists since the proposed modification to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 does not
result in changes in uses and development standards and would therefore not result in
a new significant impact to the environment or require new mitigation measures.
Accordingly, no subsequent or supplemental Environmental Impact Report, Mitigated
Negative Declaration or Addendum is required to be prepared before approving the
modification to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287. Staff has prepared a Notice of
Consistency for the project.
VII. Conclusion
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council
approve the proposed project, subject to the conditions contained in Draft Resolution
No. 2768.

RESOLUTION NO. 2768
A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT NO. EA -1091 AND SUBDIVISION NO. SUB 14 -11
(VESTING TENTATIVE MAP NO. 72287) FOR THE MODIFICATION OF
VESTING TENTATIVE MAP NO. 72287 AFFECTING THE CORPORATE
CAMPUS PROJECT AREA.
The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The Planning Commission finds and declares that:
A. On October 15, 2014, CDC Mar Campus LLC, Inc. (the "Applicant ") filed
applications for an Environmental Assessment No. EA -1091 and
Subdivision No. Sub 14 -11 (Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287) to modify a
previously approved Vesting Tentative Map (No. 72287) regulating the
Corporate Campus project area (the "Project "). The Project would reduce
the land area from 23.87 acres to 13 acres and reduce the number of lots
from 32 lots to 24 lots. The remaining land (10.87 acres) is subject to the
requirements of Vesting Tentative Map No. 53570 (the original subdivision
for the entire 46.5 -acre Corporate Campus Specific Plan Area);
B. The Project was reviewed by the City's Planning and Building Safety
Department for, in part, consistency with the General Plan, Corporate
Campus Specific Plan, and conformity with the El Segundo Municipal
Code ( "ESMC ");
C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under
the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§
21000, of seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal.
Code of Regulations § §15000, of seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the
City's Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805,
adopted March 16, 1993);
D. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review and
scheduled a public hearing regarding the project before the Planning
Commission for February 12, 2015;
E. On February 12, 2015, the Commission opened a public hearing to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications
including, without limitation, information provided to the Commission by
City Staff, public testimony, and representatives of CDC Mar Campus
LLC;
F. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the testimony and
evidence presented to the Commission at its February 12, 2015 public
-1-
hearing including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the
Planning and Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The Planning Commission finds that
the following facts exist and makes these conclusions:
A. The proposed subdivision is proposed on an approximately 23.87 -acre
portion of the 46.5 -acre Corporate Campus Project site located in the
northeast portion of the City of El Segundo. The proposed subdivision
would create 24 lots.
B. The 46.5 -acre project site (Corporate Campus Project Site) which includes
the 23.87 acres in the proposed revised Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287,
has a Corporate Campus land use designation and the zoning designation
is the Corporate Campus Specific Plan. The FAR for the Corporate
Campus land use designation is 0.99:1 and would permit up to 2,175,000
square feet of development. The Revised Project included approximately
625,205 square feet of new commercial office and retail development that
will be developed at a 0.60:1 FAR.
C. The modification of Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 under SUB No. 14-
11 will reduce the land area from 23.87 acres to 13 aces and will only
include the Phase 1 area of the previously approved Revised Project.
Phase 1 is comprised of the 217,637 square -foot Elevon project. The
Elevon Project will not be affected by the proposed modifications to
Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 relative to building location, building
size, and setbacks. The Elevon Project will be developed with a FAR of
0.38:1. The lots proposed under the modified Vesting Tentative Map No.
72287 will meet the development standards under the CCSP for lot size,
lot frontage, and will have a maximum of 24 lots.
D. The Corporate Campus Specific Plan Zone allows for the transfer of
density rights within the development area to insure that the overall
density of the site is consistent with the Corporate Specific Plan Zoning.
Any donor parcels for FAR purposes will have covenants recorded stating
the maximum FAR permitted on the parcel.
E. Ingress and egress will not be affected and will continue to be provided
from driveways with direct access from Douglas Street, Maple Avenue,
Mariposa Avenue, and through driveways that have access through the
existing internal private streets.
F. Parking will continue to be located on surface parking lots for all
development phases including the new Phase 1 area under modified
Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 and will meet the City's parking
requirements.
-2-
G. The modification of Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not require any
new conditions of approval or require the amendment or modification of
existing conditions of approval. EA -1091 and SUB No. 14 -11 (Vesting
Tentative Map No. 72287) must comply with the Conditions of Approval
established for the Original Project and Revised Project as approved in
2002 by Planning Commission Resolution No. 2517, City Council
Resolution 4241, and Ordinance No. 1345 and as amended in 2013 by
Planning Commission Resolution No. 2739, City Council Resolution No.
4582, and Ordinance 1492.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The Planning Commission makes the
following environmental findings:
A. The City Council certified a Final EIR (FEIR) on January 2, 2002 for the
Corporate Campus project.
B. The City Council approved an Addendum to the FEIR pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines § 15090 on December 3, 2013 as none of the conditions in
CEQA Guidelines § 15162 requiring a subsequent or supplemental EIR
were determined to be present. No new significant effects will result from
the revised project. No significant effects previously examined will be
substantially more severe than shown in the FEIR in accordance with
CEQA Guidelines § 15164(a).
C. In accordance with § 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines, the record on which
the Planning Commission's findings are based is located at the Planning
and Building Safety Department, City of El Segundo, 350 Main Street, El
Segundo, California 90245. The custodian of records is the Director of
Planning and Building Safety.
D. The Planning Commission finds that a new environmental document is not
required for the proposed modification to Vesting Tentative Map No.
72287 pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15168(c)(2) as the proposed
modifications to the modified Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 would not
result in any new or increased environmental impacts or require new
mitigation measures already established in the Certified FEIR and
Addendum to the Certified FEIR that were previously approved.
E. Because of the facts identified in this Resolution, the environmental review
requires that a Finding of Consistency with the General Plan and
Addendum to the Certified FEIR be completed in order for the project to
be approved.
SECTION 4: General Plan and Specific Plan. The proposed project conforms with the
General Plan as follows:
-3-
A. The General Plan contains a number of relevant Goals, Objectives, and
Policies. The Original and Revised Project listed a number of Goals,
Objectives, and Policies that were consistent with the Economic
Development Element, Land Use Element, Circulation Element, Open
Space and Recreation Element, Conservation, Air Quality Element, Noise
Element, and Public Safety Element of the General Plan. The modification
of Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not affect the project's ability to
meet the established Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the General Plan.
B. The modification of the Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will only affect
parcel configuration and the number of lots created. The proposed
revised subdivision will be subject to the same conditions of approval
previously established under City Council Resolution No. 4241 and 4582
respectively and Ordinance No. 1345 and Ordinance No. 1482 with a few
added conditions to ensure compliance with the requirements of the
General Plan and the Corporate Campus Specific Plan.
SECTION 5: Subdivision. The Planning Commission cannot make any of the findings
for denial set forth in ESMC § 14 -1 -6 for the following reasons:
A. The proposed modified map is consistent with applicable general and
specific plans as specified in Government Code § 65451. As set forth in
Section 4, this project meets the goals and objectives of the General Plan.
B. The design of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable
general and specific plans. As set forth in Section 4, this project meets
the goals and objectives of the General Plan.
C. The site is physically suitable for the type of development. As set forth in
Section 4, this project meets the goals and objectives of the General Plan.
D. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development.
The proposed project is for the construction of a 217,637 square -foot
commercial office and retail development.
E. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are unlikely
to cause substantial damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or
wildlife or their habitat. The proposed project site is located in an
urbanized area. The new commercial office and retail development is not
likely to result in any substantial environmental damage or cause injury to
fish or wildlife or their habitat.
F. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is unlikely to cause
serious public health problems. There is no evidence demonstrating that
-4-
the proposed new commercial office and retail development is likely to
cause any serious public health problem.
G. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use
of property within the proposed subdivision. The subdivision of the
property for the new commercial office and retail development will not
conflict with any known easements located at, or near the property.
SECTION 6: Recommendations.
A. Subject to the existing conditions established under Resolution No. 4582
and Ordinance No. 1492 and the additional conditions in attached Exhibit
"A," the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt a
Finding of Consistency, with the General Plan and Addendum to the
Certified FEIR, attached as Exhibit "B; "
B. Subject to the existing conditions previously established under Resolution
No. 4582 and Ordinance No. 1492 and the additional conditions in
attached Exhibit "A," the Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council approve Environmental Assessment No. EA -1091 and Subdivision
No. SUB 14 -11 (Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287).
SECTION 7: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and
determinations in this Resolution 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
Planning Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by
substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 8: Limitations. The Planning Commission'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
Planning Commission'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.
SECTION 9: Summaries of Information. All summaries o
which precede this section, are based on the substantial
absence of any particular fact from any such summary
particular finding is not based in part on that fact.
-5-
f information in the findings,
evidence in the record. The
is not an indication that a
SECTION 10: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 11: According to the El Segundo Municipal Code, a copy of this Resolution
shall be mailed to CDC Mar Campus, LLC and to any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 12: This Resolution is the Planning Commission's final decision and will
become effective immediately upon adoption.

FINDING OF CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN AND ADDENDUM TO THE
FEIR FOR THE CORPORATE CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
MODIFICATION OF VESTING TENTATIVE MAP NO. 72287 TO AMEND MAP TO
REDUCE THE AREA FROM 23.87 ACRES TO 13 ACRES AND REDUCE THE
NUMBER OF LOTS FROM 32 LOTS TO 24 LOTS IN THE CORPORATE CAMPUS
SPECIFIC PLAN (CCSP) ZONE
February 2015
The City of El Segundo has received applications proposing to amend Vesting Tentative
Map No. 72287 to reduce the area of the tentative map from 23.87 acre to 13 acres and
reduce the number of lots from 32 lots to 24 lots in the Corporate Campus Specific Plan
(CCSP) Zone. Applications are Environmental Assessment No. EA -1091 and Subdivision
No. SUB 14 -11 (Vesting Tentative Nap No. 72287)
The proposal to modify the vesting tentative map constitutes a "project" under the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Thus, environmental review is required
pursuant to CEQA (Public Resources Code §§ 21000 et seq.), the State CEQA Guidelines
(14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq.), and the City of El Segundo CEQA Guidelines.
This document serves as the project environmental documentation pursuant to CEQA.
Background
In 1992, El Segundo adopted a comprehensive update of its General Plan, which included
the required elements. The 1992 General Plan and its subsequent amendments set forth
policy for land use development in El Segundo and within its sphere of influence.
Additionally, on January 2, 2002, the El Segundo City Council certified the FEIR, entitled
El Segundo Corporate Campus Project Development Final Environmental Impact Report
and adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations as Section 4 of City Council
Resolution No. 4241 for the El Segundo Corporate Campus development. Further, the El
Segundo City Council and on December 2, 2013 adopted an Addendum to the FEIR and
re- adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations as Section 3 of City Council
Resolution No. 4852.
The circumstances, impacts, and mitigation requirements identified in the General Plan
EIR and the certified FEIR and Addendum forthe Corporate Campus development remain
applicable to the proposed amendments and the amendments do not raise any new issues
and do not cause the level of impacts identified in the General Plan EIR to be exceeded.
Specifically, the Addendum will allow for the development of up 930,025 and the modified
tentative map will not impact the 930,025 square feet of development. Amending the
tentative map to reduce the map area and the number lots will not impact the projector the
subdivision requirements as set forth in the certified FEIR and Addendum for the Corporate
Campus development.
Exhibit B f ending of Consistency
Relationship of the Modified Vesting Tentative Map to the General Plan
The proposed amendment to the vesting tentative map will not impact the project's ability
to implement the goals, objectives, and policies and programs outlined in the 1992 General
Plan, which include the Economic Development Element, Land Use Element, Circulation
Element, Open Space and Recreation Element, Conservation, Air Quality Element, Noise
Element, and Public Safety Element of the General Plan. The maximum floor area ratio
(FAR) within the Corporate Campus Specific Plan is limited to 0.99:1. The amendment to
the tentative map does not propose any changes to the FAR limits established for the
project and will be developed with a FAR of 0.38:1. Adoption of the proposed amendment
to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not provide for any new development beyond the
previous approvals nor beyond that anticipated by land use policy set forth in the1992
General Plan Update and the subsequent 2005 update of the Land Use Element.
Specifically, the proposed amendment to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 is consistent
with all the goals, objectives, and policies and programs of the General Plan's Economic
Development Element, Land Use Element, Circulation Element, Open Space and
Recreation Element, Conservation, Air Quality Element, Noise Element, and Public Safety
Element.
Environmental Analysis
The proposed amendmentto Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 is consistentwith the FEIR,
entitled El Segundo Corporate Campus, certified by the City Council on January 2, 2002
and the Statement of Overriding Considerations adopted as Section 4 of City Council
Resolution No. 4241 and by the Addendum to the FEIR and re- adopted Statement of
Overriding Considerations as Section 3 of City Council Resolution No. 4852, which was
adopted on December 2, 2013.
CEQA Guidelines § 15168(c)(2) states that if a project is proposed which has been the
subject of a prior certified EIR or adopted Negative Declaration, and "[i]f the [City] finds that
pursuant to Guidelines § 15162, no new effects could occur or new mitigation measures
would be required, the [City] can approve the activity as being within the scope of the
project covered by the program EIR, and no new environmental document would be
required."
Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines defines the conditions under which a subsequent
EIR would be required for a project as follows:
(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which require major revisions of the
EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
(2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to
Exhibit B Finding of Consistency
2
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects; and /or
(3) New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not
have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous
EIR was adopted, shows any of the following:
1. The revised project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR;
2. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than
shown in the previous EIR;
3. Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in
fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of
the project, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure
or alternative; or
4. Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those
analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant
effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the
mitigation measure or alternative.
As stated above, the proposed amendment to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not
result in any land use policy change; thus, the project will not facilitate the creation of any
additional development beyond that anticipated and accounted for at build -out by current
land use policy in the General Plan or the approved FEIR and Addendum forthe Corporate
Campus development. The proposed amendments will not result in any new
environmental effect not already considered in the approved FEIR and Addendum.
Findings
Based on the above analysis, the City Council makes the following findings:
1. In 1992, the City of El Segundo adopted a comprehensive General Plan update and
certified a Final EIR.
2. In 2002, the City of El Segundo certified a Final EIR and adopted a Statement of
Overriding Considerations for the Corporate Campus development.
3. In 2013, the City of El Segundo adopted an Addendum to the Final EIR and re- adopted
a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Corporate Campus development.
4. The proposed modification to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not facilitate the
creation of any development beyond that anticipated and accounted for by the adopted
General Plan or the certified Final EIR and Addendum for the Corporate Campus
development. The Corporate Campus Specific Plan sets a maximum FAR of 0.99:1
and the certified Final EIR and Addendum to the FEIR for the Corporate Campus
development sets a maximum building area of 930,025 square feet, which will not be
impacted as a result of the modification to the vesting tentative map. The proposed
Exhibit B Find w, of Consistency
3
amendments consist of reducing land area within Tentative Vesting Map No. 72287 and
reducing the amount of lots and will not result in additional floor area as the amendment
does change or alter any buildings either proposed or existing.
5. The proposed amendment is limited to modifications to the vesting tentative map.
6. Adoption of proposed modification to Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 will not result in
any new or increased environmental effects, and no new mitigation measures are
required.
7. Pursuant to Section 151689(c)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, no new environmental
documentation is required for adoption of the amendments to the ESMC.

ORIGINATED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public W s Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
In the fall of 2013, staff was directed to investigate what would be required by the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in order to change the name of Sepulveda Blvd. to
Pacific Coast Highway. Caltrans first confirmed that changing the street name is feasible
because Sepulveda Blvd. is already officially designed as Highway 1 (i.e., Pacific Coast
Highway) by the California State Legislature, the governing body that oversees naming of the
state's highway systems. In pursuit of an official name change, Caltrans also indicated that the
City would need to take several preliminary steps, including conducting outreach to and
receiving support from a majority of affected property/business owners (due to the name /address
change), approving the request for a name change through a City Council formal action (e.g.,
resolution of support) and submitting a formal request to Caltrans. The agency also indicated
that submitting a request in concert with Manhattan Beach would be desirable for consistency
purposes.
Staff presented an overview of the qualifying criteria at a joint City Council /Economic
Development Advisory Committee (EDAC) meeting held on October 23, 2013. At that meeting
staff was directed to bring the item back to the full City Council for consideration and direction.
On November 19, 2019 staff was given direction to proceed with a preliminary survey to gage
support among businesses and property owners along the Sepulveda corridor and to outreach to
Manhattan Beach to determine whether it is interested participating with El Segundo in a joint
application to Caltrans. In the spring of 2014, staff sent out 509 survey mailers to businesses and
property owners, and set up a survey monkey website for respondents to utilize in lieu of
returning the surveys. Staff also hosted a community workshop on May 6, 2014 whereupon only
three organizations attended. In all, 86 survey responses were received, representing a 17%
response rate. Their responses are listed in the following table:
Among the respondents, four were property owners, 73 were business owners, five were property
managers and four declined to state their category.
Survey information was presented to the joint City Council /Economic Development Advisory
Committee in the summer of 2014, but no formal action was taken or recommendation given at
that time. However, recently EDAC raised the name - change possibility again and requested that
staff seek City Council approval to proceed with the steps necessary to implement the renaming
of Sepulveda Blvd. to Pacific Coast Hwy. Staff is therefore seeking direction from City Council
on whether to proceed with this request. Necessary steps expected include:
1. Expanding survey efforts to ensure that a majority of property owners are reached and
support the name change, as required by CalTrans. Detailed outreach to achieve a high
response rate will require additional support beyond the City resources currently
available.
2. Working with the post office to gather specific information about the lead time needed
for implementation.
3. Submitting a formal request to CalTrans with a resolution of support adopted by City
Council.
4. Establishing an implementation schedule and conducting detailed outreach to business
owners about the pending name change.
5. Coordinating signage installation.
In all, staff estimates that this process will take approximately 12 -18 months to complete given
the lead time we expect businesses will want to ensure that costs and impacts to them are
minimized. The post office allows for up to 18 months of transition time when street names are
changed, which will help businesses minimize costs in planning for the transition.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The County of Los Angeles periodically provides miscellaneous services on behalf of the City of
El Segundo on an "as- needed" basis. Examples of such services include the City's ongoing
service agreement with the County for traffic signal maintenance and the availability to access
County road crews should the need ever arise for emergency street repairs. To facilitate the
City's ability to access such services, the City and County have traditionally entered into a series
of five -year General Services Agreements (GSA) that ensures that the City has access to County -
provided services whenever it is necessary. The standard GSA has no costs associated with it. It
provides the legal mechanism and framework whereby the City has access to County services on
an "as- needed" basis. The current agreement expires on June 30, 2015. Staff recommends
maintenance of the agreement in order to maintain continuing access to the vast pool of services
potentially provided by the County of Los Angeles.

thereof. In the event there now exists or there is hereafter adopted a specific contract
between the City and the County with respect to specific services, such contract with
respect to specific services shall be controlling as to the duties and obligations of the
parties anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless such special contract

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On June 17, 2014, City Council awarded a Public Works contract to American Asphalt South,
Inc. for slurry sealing of the streets, alleyways, and 11 city parking lots. The project included the
following locations:
Streets and alleyway areas bounded by the west City boundary, Sheldon St., Mariposa
Ave. and El Segundo Blvd.
• Rosecrans Ave. between Alma Ave. and Sepulveda Blvd.
Vista del Mar between Grand Ave. and 45th St.
City Hall Parking lot
City Hall Employee's Parking lot
* Fire /Police Parking lot
• Water Division Parking lot
Maintenance Yard Parking lot
• Richmond St. Parking lot
• Library Parking lot
• Main St. Parking lot
• Guaymas Way Parking lot
• South Recreation and Parks Parking lot
• Grand Ave. Parking lot.
Three months prior to the project award, the City Council was presented with four Richmond
Street design concepts to enhance the availability of parking on Richmond Street, between El
Segundo Boulevard and Holly Street. City Council directed staff to implement two design
options, one concurrent with this project (striping reconfiguration) and another at a future date
when additional funding would be allocated to complete a larger project (including sidewalk,
curb and gutter restoration work.)
As part of implementing the first Richmond Street design option, City staff directed the
contractor to reconfigure the striping on Richmond Street in October 22, 2014 after the slurry
seal has hardened enough to be striped. The striping change included installing angled parking
and curb stops on the west side of Richmond Street and eliminating parallel parking on the east
side of the street. Two way traffic is maintained and the striping modification resulted in the
addition of 19 parking spaces over three blocks. Shortly thereafter, the City received several
complaints regarding the angled parking, in particular at the north end of 300 block of Richmond
Street. The City Council then directed staff to restore the striping configuration at the 300 block
of Richmond Street back to its original parallel parking. This work was completed on December
6, 2014.
Slurry Seal Construction began on September 15, 2014, and was completed by American
Asphalt South, Inc. on February 5, 2015. A final inspection for American Asphalt South's work
has been performed and it was determined that the project was completed per the plans and
specifications and to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department. The final project costs are
as follows:
Budget
$647,320.75 Original Contract Cost
+$82,561.70 Final Constriction Change Orders and Contingencies
$729,882.45 Total Final Project Budget Cost
The remaining $14,536.41 will be disencumbered and returned to the Gas Tax Fund for future
projects. Staff recommends that City Council accept the work performed by American Asphalt
South, Inc. as complete and authorize the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion with the
County Recorder's Office.

REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Planning and Building Safety Director
GA
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
I. Background
In 1995, the City Council directed staff to bring all future Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control (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.
W
II. Analysis
According to the most recent Crime and Arrest statistics report prepared by the Police
Department, the subject movie theater is located in Reporting District (RD) 319. Based on the
June — December 2014 reported data prepared by the Police Department, the district had a total
of 26 Part I crimes and 11 felony and misdemeanor arrests. "Part I crimes" include criminal
homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny -theft, motor vehicle theft
and arson. The RD is considered a high crime area, however, because the theater was
conditioned to include security guards on -site during the hours of operation, the Police
Department and the Planning and Building Safety Department do not object to the expansion of
alcohol sales for on -site consumption within the existing movie theater.
The project site is comprised of two parcels and is developed with two mixed -use commercial
buildings which total 145,000 square feet in area. The project site contains surface parking, a
parking structure, office, retail, restaurants and a movie theater. The movie theater has a total
number of 2,349 seats within 16 auditoriums, a cafe with an outdoor dining area, concession
stands, and a bar with a lounge area adjacent to Auditorium No. 7. The existing development at
the site was approved by City Council Resolution No. 3917, adopted in 1995, which amended
Precise Plan No. 12 -72. In 2010, the City approved Environmental Assessment No. EA -883 and
Administrative Use Permit No. AUP 10 -07 for the existing on -site sale and consumption of beer,
wine and distilled spirits at a 1,485 square -foot caf6, a 725 square -foot outdoor dining area, a 305
square -foot bar /lounge area, and Auditorium No. 7 within the movie theater. The applicant
requests the approval for the sale of alcoholic beverages from an existing caf6, a bar counter, a
lounge area, concession stands, new portable stands, new portable bars or new fixed bars, and to
allow servers to cater to patrons in all 16 auditoriums at their seats within the movie theater.
The project site is in the Urban Mixed Use South (MU -S) Zone. Caf6s are permitted uses in the
MU -S Zone in accordance with ESMC §15 -517-2. The existing movie theater was allowed by the
amendment of Precise Plan No. 12 -72 which was adopted by the City Council through
Resolution No. 3917, and on -site sale and consumption of alcohol is permitted with the approval
of an Administrative Use Permit in accordance with ESMC § I5- 5F -4(C) and ESMC § 15 -22 -5.
The proposed hours of operation for the movie theater are 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., Monday
through Sunday. The proposed hours of alcohol service are 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m., Monday
through Sunday. On -site consumption of alcohol will occur in conjunction with food service
within the movie theater. In addition, the menu that will be available for customers will be
subject to the Director's approval to ensure that the use is operationally consistent with a
restaurant use rather than a bar.
The proposed use as conditioned will not be detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare.
Conditions of approval Nos. 5, 12, 14, 15 and 16 will help reduce the potential for public
drunkenness, drunk driving, and related impacts by: a) requiring staff serving alcohol to be
trained on alcohol responsibility and applicable laws, b) requiring posted signs identifying
Taxicab phone numbers, c) requiring posted signs reminding customers who intend to drink
onsite to have designated drivers, and d) requiring the applicant to have readily identifiable
personnel to monitor and control the behavior of customers inside the building and outside in the
parking lot and other open areas onsite. For these reasons, as conditioned, the proposed use will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or
improvements in the vicinity.
On February 12, 2015, the Director of Planning and Building Safety approved the AUP
application for the expansion of alcohol service (EA No. 1089, AUP No. 13 -08), with conditions
of approval. The Director's decision was forwarded to the Planning Commission and, on February
12, 2015, the Planning Commission Received and Filed the Director's decision.
Distinct and separate from the City's AUP process, ABC also has mandatory findings that must
be met, and conducts site inspections before approving the expansion of alcohol service.
III. Conclusion
Planning staff recommends that the Council Receive and File this report without objecting to the
expansion of alcohol service at an existing theater with an active Type 47 ABC license at 831
South Nash Street, or alternatively discuss and take another action related to this item.

www.elsegundo.org
alcohol service to all 16 auditoriums, the existing concession stands, new
portable stands, or new portable bars, or new fixed bars within the movie
theater. The following are the findings and facts in support of each finding
for this decision:
350 Main Street, El Segundo, California 90245 -3813
Phone (310) 524 -2380 FAX (310) 322 -4167
FINDINGS AND FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDINGS:
Environmental Assessment No. EA -1089
Finding 1
The proposed project is 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).
Facts in Support of Finding 1
The applicant requests an expansion of alcohol service to all 16 auditoriums,
existing concession stands, new portable stands, or new portable bars, or new
fixed bars within an existing movie theater (ArcLight Cinemas) located at 831
South Nash Street in the Urban Mixed -Use South (MUS) Zone. The project site is
comprised of two parcels and is developed with two mixed -use commercial
buildings which total 145,000 square feet in area. The project site contains
surface parking, a parking structure, office, retail, restaurants and a movie
theater. The movie theater has a total number of 2,349 seats within the 16
auditoriums, a cafe with an outdoor dining area, concession stands, and a
bar /lounge area. The existing development at the site was approved by City
Council Resolution No. 3917, adopted in 1995, which amended Precise Plan No.
12 -72. In 2010 the City approved Environmental Assessment No. EA -883 and
Administrative Use Permit No. AUP 10 -07 for the existing on -site sale and
consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits at a 1,485 square -foot cafe, a 725
square -foot outdoor dining area, a 305 square -foot bar /lounge area, and
Auditorium No. 7 within the movie theater. The applicant requests the approval
for the sale of alcoholic beverages from an existing cafe, a bar counter, a lounge
area, concession stands, new portable stands, or new portable bars, or new fixed
bars, and to allow servers to cater to patrons in all 16 auditoriums at their seats
within the movie theater. The proposed expansion of alcohol service for an
existing movie theater, results in a minor alteration in the operation of an existing
building. The project site is in an urbanized area surrounded by commercial uses
with adequate access. There are adequate utilities and public services to serve
the project. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to have any significant
impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality.
Administrative Use Permit No. AUP 14 -08
Finding 'I
There is compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship to
other existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use is
proposed to be located.
2
Facts in Support of Finding 1
Cafes are permitted uses in the Urban Mixed Use South (MU -S) Zone, and the
movie theater was allowed by the amendment of Precise Plan No. 12 -72 and the
adoption of City Council Resolution No. 3917. The proposed expansion of
alcohol service to all 16 auditoriums, concession stands, new portable stands, or
new portable bars, or new fixed bars will be compatible with the existing movie
theater and other restaurant uses already on -site and in the surrounding area.
2. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Urban Mixed Use South
and the zoning for the site is Urban Mixed Use South (MU -S). Cafes are
permitted uses in the Urban Mixed Use South (MU -S) Zone in accordance with
ESMC §15 -5F -2, the existing movie theater was allowed by the amendment of
Precise Plan No. 12 -72, and on -site sale and consumption of alcohol is permitted
with the approval of an Administrative Use Permit in accordance with ESMC §15-
5F-4(C) and ESMC § 15 -22 -5.
3. The surrounding land uses include: manufacturing, restaurants, office, parking
and retail uses. The proposed expansion of alcohol service from a cafe and bar
to all 16 auditoriums within an existing movie theater is similar and compatible
with the surrounding uses.
4. The El Segundo Planning Commission is scheduled to Receive and File the
Administrative Use Permit request on February 12, 2015.
Finding 2
The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the Zone in
which the site is located.
Facts in Support of Finding 2
1. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Urban Mixed Use South.
2. The zoning designation of the property is Urban Mixed Use South (MU -S). Cafes
are permitted uses in this Zoning District in accordance with §15 -5F -2, and the
movie theater was allowed by the amendment of Precise Plan No. 12 -72 and the
adoption of City Council Resolution No. 3917. The proposed expansion of
alcohol service (on -site sale and consumption of beer and wine at an existing
cafe and bar counter to all 16 auditoriums within a movie theater, concession
stands, new portable stands, or new portable bars, or new fixed bars) with an
existing active Type 47 ABC License, requires an Administrative Use Permit in
accordance with ESMC §15- 5F -4(C) and ESMC § 15 -22 -5.
3
3. The purpose of the Urban Mixed Use South (MU -S) Zone is to provide areas
where a mixture of compatible commercial offices, research and development,
service, retail and hotel uses can locate and develop in a mutually beneficial
manner. It is the intent of the Urban Mixed Use South (MU -S) Zone to have
several types of uses within a single building. The inclusion of alcoholic beverage
sales from the existing concession stands, new portable stands, or new portable
bars, or new fixed bars, and all 16 auditoriums will serve to enhance the
experience for movie theater patrons and will be accessory to the existing movie
theater (ArcLight Cinemas) operating at the site.
4. The surrounding land uses include: manufacturing, restaurants, office, parking
and retail uses. The proposed expansion of alcohol service from a cafe, bar,
concession stands, new portable stands, or new portable bars, or new fixed bars,
and within all 16 auditoriums at an existing movie theater is consistent with the
purpose of the zone and is compatible with the surrounding uses.
Finding 3
• The proposed location and use and the conditions under which the use would be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Facts in Support of Finding 3
1. The cafe, bar counter /lounge area, concession stands, new portable stands, or
new portable bars, or new fixed bars, 'and 16 auditoriums are located inside an
existing commercial movie theater within the Urban Mixed Use South (MU -S)
Zone. The movie theater meets all of the development standards of the MU -S
Zone and Precise Plan No. 12 -72, and sufficient parking will be provided on -site
in compliance with ESMC Chapter 15 -15.
2. The surrounding land uses include: manufacturing, restaurants, office, parking
and retail uses. The MU -S Zone allows on -site sale and consumption of alcohol
with the approval of an Administrative Use Permit.
3. The proposed hours of operation for the movie theater are 10:00 a.m. to 2:00
a.m., Monday through Sunday. The proposed hours of alcohol service for the 16
auditoriums, concession stands, new portable stands, or new portable bars, or
new fixed bars, a cafe, an outdoor dining area, and a bar with a lounge area are
10:00 a.m. to 1:30 a.m., Monday through Sunday. Food service will be available
during the hours alcoholic beverages are sold at the movie theater within the 16
auditoriums, concession stands, new portable stands, or new portable bars, or
new fixed bars, a cafe, an outdoor dining area and a bar with a lounge area. The
theater may stay open 30 minutes after the last movie showing. However, alcohol
sales will cease by 1:30 a.m.
4
4. The cafe and theater must maintain an active State of California Alcohol and
Beverage Control (ABC) license for on -site sale and consumption of alcohol
(Type 47).
5. The proposed use as conditioned will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety and welfare. Conditions of approval Nos. 5, 12, 14, 15 and 16 will help
reduce the potential for public drunkenness, drunk driving, and related impacts
by: a) requiring staff serving alcohol to be trained on alcohol responsibility and
applicable laws, b) requiring posted signs identifying Taxicab phone numbers, c)
requiring posted signs reminding customers who intend to drink onsite to have
designated drivers, d) and requiring the applicant to have readily identifiable
personnel to monitor and control the behavior of customers inside the building
and outside in the parking lot and other open areas onsite. For these reasons,
as conditioned, the proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
Finding 4
* Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise,
smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic, and hazards have been recognized
and mitigated.
Facts in Support of Finding 4
1. The proposed expansion of alcohol service will not create any new impacts that
would not be normally associated with the operation of an existing movie theater
containing 16 auditoriums, concession stands, new portable stands, or new
portable bars, or new fixed bars, a cafe, an outdoor dining area, and a bar with a
lounge area.
2. The existing movie theater is located in a predominantly commercial /retail area
and is not adjacent to any residential uses. The proposed hours of operation for
alcohol service for 16 auditoriums, concession stands, new portable stands, or
new portable bars, or new fixed bars, a cafe, an outdoor dining area, and a bar
with a lounge area will not increase noise, fumes, vibration, or odors that would
be normally associated with an existing movie theater.
3. Conditions of approval Nos. 5, 12, 14, 15 and 16 will help mitigate potential traffic
and other hazards caused by patrons driving under the influence of alcohol.
4. The expansion of on -site sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for on -site
consumption at an existing movie theater with an active Type 47 ABC License is
proposed in an area that is not environmentally sensitive and would not be
hazardous.
Z
Finding 5
The State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has issued or will issue a license
to sell alcohol to the applicant.
Facts in Support of Finding 5

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
Economic Development is among the City's strategic objectives as it is essential to promoting
new development, business retention, business attraction, job creation and increasing
municipal revenues to support municipal services. The City has staffed and organized this
role in a wide variety of ways in recent years from the highest levels in the organization such
as an Assistant City Manager, or Economic Development Department Head to lower levels
such as a staff -level Analyst position. And there have been periods of time when the role has
not been served by a specific employee and has instead been an "additional duty" of existing
staff to perform. From an organizational stand point, the role has also been assigned in
different ways, from being in the City Manager's Department, the Planning and Building
Department and an independent Economic Development Department.
The Economic Development Analyst position is currently vacant and it is appropriate to
evaluate and consider the appropriate role, level of authority, and reporting responsibility of
this function within the organization. After careful consideration, the City Manager's
recommendation is that the program be moved from the Planning and Building Safety
Department to the City Manager's office and be staffed with a Manager level position. The
11
rationale for this recommendation includes:
- Experience over the last two years has shown that there is the need for higher level,
more independent decision - making and authority more consistent with a management
level position.
- A number of projects in this program involve coordination among multiple departments
where a management level employee working under the direction of the City Manager
could more effectively coordinate and complete work efforts.
- A management level employee, working in the City Manager's office would more
effectively impress upon prospective business persons the importance and emphasis
that the City places on the Economic Development Program.
- Transferring the Economic Development Program from Planning and Building Safety
will allow that Department to increase their focus on the increased level of planning
and development activity currently occurring.
The Class Specification for the Economic Development Manager position is attached and
generally describes the duties and responsibilities of the position. More specifically, this
person will be responsible for the following:
- Primary staff liaison to the Economic Development Advisory Council (EDAC)
- Including coordination and preparation of the EDAC agenda with the EDAC Chair.
- Development and implementation of an enhanced business outreach and retention
program with existing El Segundo Businesses including.
- Development and execution of an enhanced business attraction program to assist the
city in filling vacant office and retail facilities and promoting opportunities for new
development.
- Manage the public relations and advertising contract with Paolucci Salling and Martin
(PSM) and any other public relations and marketing efforts.
- Coordinate activities with, and the El Segundo Chamber of Commerce, area real estate
professionals, the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation and other real
estate and business groups.
- Serve as the City's point of contact for large -scale development projects during the
initial planning and coordination phases.
- Assist the City Manager as necessary.
The Economic Development Manager position is an "at- will" position within the Management
Confidential series. The salary range for this position is currently $7951.97 to $9665.67 per
month while the salary range for the Economic Development Analyst position is $5692.15 to
$6918.85 per month. The plan is to leave the Economic Development Analyst position vacant
so there is adequate salary savings in this budget year to address the added cost associated
with this request. Should the Council approve the request, the added cost for a full year is
approximately $50,000 to 60,000.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 3, 2015
AGENDA ITEM STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: New Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action to select a pool design option and funding plan for the new outdoor
Aquatics Facility to be located at Wiseburn High School.
(Fiscal Impact: To Be Determined)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Select a pool design option;
2. Discuss potential funding plans for the excess construction costs under obligation of the
City; and,
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: None
FISCAL IMPACT: To Be Determined
Amount Budgeted: $1,802,376
Additional Appropriation: Yes
Account Number(s): 702 - 267 - 0000 -1267 - Aquatics Trust Account
PREPARED BY: Meredith Petit, Director of Recreation & Parks
REVIEWED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager 0/\ /4
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager J4
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
In May 2013, the City of El Segundo and Wiseburn School District entered into a Settlement Agreement
that calls for Wiseburn to commit $6,000,000 to the construction of an aquatics facility and the City to
operate and maintain the facility into the future. According to the agreement, the City would also be
responsible for any design and construction costs in excess of $6,000,000.
On June 15, 2014, staff presented the City Council with two aquatics facility design options under
consideration by the Pool Design Committee. Design Option 1, a 50 -meter by 25 -yard outdoor
competition pool with limited additional amenities, was estimated to cost $6,000,000. Design Option 2,
estimated at $8,400,000, included a 54 -meter by 25 -meter outdoor competition pool, a 25 -yard
additional pool, bleachers, two moveable bulkheads, sports lighting, and other amenities that would
provide for more versatility in aquatics programming.
For the next several months, the consulting firm Isaac Sports Group conducted the Aquatics Facility
Programming, Design and Financial Analysis. Stu Issac of the Isaac Sports Group met with various
stakeholder group including city officials and school administrators and personnel from both El
Segundo Unified School District and Wiseburn School District. Mr. Isaac presented the findings and
conclusions of the report to the City Council on February 3, 2015. Within the report, Mr. Isaac included
projected costs for three conceptual pool designs, identified as "Base ", "Upgrade ", and "Hybrid."
12
The Base Option is a single all deep 50 -meter by 25 -yard pool that meets the basic needs of the
Wiseburn High School and El Segundo High School Swimming and Water Polo program, training, and
competition needs. The preliminary projected total project costs of the Base Option (2015 pricing) is
$7,117,200.
The Upgrade Option expands the main competition pool to 54- meters by 25- meters with two 2 -meter
bulkheads and 3 diving boards. It also includes a 75 -foot by 35 -foot shallow warm -water
teaching /fitness pool which can support greater community access and use, including significant
revenue generating programs. The Upgrade Option can also host additional meets and tournaments that
can generate operating revenue and economic impact for the community. The preliminary projected total
project costs of the Base Option (2015 pricing) is $10,207,624.
A Hybrid Option was created based on the programming needs and goals combined with the cost and
operating financial analysis. The Hybrid design makes the following changes from the Upgrade Option:
• Reduce pool size to 51.2- meters by 25 -yards
• Reduce to one 1.2 -meter (4 foot) bulkhe�id
• Eliminates the diving element, reducing depth (no project stakeholders expressed an interest or
need for the diving elements)
• Slightly reduce permanent seating capacity
The Hybrid design retains the same size teaching /fitness pool and the same program support amenities
as the Upgrade Option. These changes have virtually no impact on training space, daily programming,
and community access compared to the Full Upgrade Option. It does reduce the event capacity and the
overall size of meet that can be hosted, but the actual limiting factors on events are actually the size of
the warm -up pool and overall space and seating. The event loss will only be in hosting meets that are
slightly smaller and the inability to host a Southern California Swimming/USA Swimming regional
meet every two to three years. The preliminary projected total project costs of the Base Option (2015
pricing) is $8,950,929.
The preliminary projected costs include hard construction costs and all other soft costs, inspections,
architectural and design fees, overhead, equipment and owner cost. The costs of the project have
increased since original cost estimates in 2013 based on cost escalation, more refined design detail, and
largely due to some unexpected site issues concerning methane mitigation and the possible need to
move a storm drain to accommodate the site plan. These site issues alone account for approximately
$500,000, although the storm drain issue is still being addressed by the Wiseburn School District and
their architect.
The Aquatics Facility Programming, Design and Financial Analysis also focused on the financial
performance of the entire City aquatics programs and facilities, including the Urho Saari Swim Stadium.
Using expense and revenue projections for the three design options and projecting future programs,
expansion of existing programs, and event /rental demand, the report concluded that the Base Option
would have an overall impact of about an $80,000 increase to the annual operating budget. Both the
Hybrid Option and the Upgrade Option, however, show an estimated decrease in the aquatics operating
budget, about a $40,000 decrease for the Upgrade Option and $35,000 decrease for the Hybrid Option.
The report concludes that the Hybrid Option appears to be the most cost effective facility, program, and
operating model resulting in no net increase in the overall El Segundo aquatic facility and operating
budgets while considering the additional City cost of construction in excess of the $6,000,000
contribution from Wiseburn.
The findings from the Aquatics Facility Programming, Design and Financial Analysis were presented
to the Recreation and Parks Commission on February 18, 2015. The overall consensus from the
Commission was that, given the information that was presented in the report, the Base Option appears to
not be suitable for program flexibility, revenue - generating opportunities, or stable annual operating
costs. The Commission would like to see the City Council move forward with the project by either
selecting one of the Hybrid or Upgrade options.
Additionally, the Recreation and Parks Commission expressed that the overall design decision should be
based more on the current and future needs of the community and less on the initial construction cost.
They want to ensure that the City makes the best decision and caution against making the decision too
swiftly. It is important to the Recreation and Parks Commission that the community members are
informed. Lastly, some members of the Commission were concerned that the revenue projections
seemed optimistic and want to point out that the revenue projections in the study are contingent upon
increased fees, significant program expansion, and the implementation of creative programming that has
never been explored in El Segundo. For the projections to become actual, all components will have to
align, alluding to some unknown degree of risk.
Staff is requesting direction from the City Council on the selection of a pool design option. The
Wiseburn School District is prepared to move forward with obtaining the appropriate permits to
continue moving forward to construction. With a commitment from the City, the Wiseburn School
District will also proceed with detailed architectural drawings. Additionally, the City Council should
discuss a funding plan to support the costs in excess of Wiseburn's $6,000,000 commitment.
Currently, the Aquatics Trust Account has approximately $1,800,000, which is approved for the
construction of the new Aquatics Center, to renovate the Plunge, or some combination thereof.
Additional funding alternatives can include one or more of the following: (1) negotiate additional
funding from Wiseburn School District; (2) request a contribution from El Segundo Unified School
District; (3) reprioritize the current FYI 4/15 capital projects plan; (4) postpone the increased percentage
of the reserve and /or economic uncertainty funds; (5) seek sponsors /donors; and, (6) initiate a
community fundraising effort.

FISCAL IMPACT: Budget Adjustment Required

Account Number(s): 001 - 400 - 2505 -6214
ORIGINATED BY: Larry Klingaman, Information Systems Manager
REVIEWED BY: Mitch Tavera, Chief of Police �"`� �{������
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At the December 16, 2014, City Council Meeting, Information Systems was approved to
reclassify three existing positions into two full time staff positions. At the same meeting, Mayor
Fuentes expressed a desire to have an outside agency evaluate the Information Systems Division.
Staff contacted two companies that perform strategic and tactical planning services specifically
for municipal agencies and information systems consultation. Staff conducted interviews with
Avasant on January 6th, and Nexlevel on January 15th. During these interviews, staff gave an
overview of the current technology and staffing utilized by the division, existing and planned
projects citywide, and current governance. Both companies provided background information
about their respective companies and acquired additional information about the City, the
technology division, and the status of our current and planned projects. Each company
subsequently submitted a formal proposal.
1
Staff reviewed the proposals and found that both companies have performed the identified
services for numerous years, both have considerable experience with information systems
strategies and processes, and both want to create a long term partnership with the City. Staff
found that both companies actively participate in municipal technology user groups and have
consultants local to the Los Angeles area. The corporate headquarters of Avasant is located in El
Segundo and the primary consultants from NexLevel are located nearby in Orange County, Ca.
Additionally, the variance between the two companies for the total project cost was minimal:
Avasant - $50,000 ( *Discounted* $175 /hour; plus travel and miscellaneous expenses which
are expected to be minimal due to their location within the City of El Segundo)
NexLevel - $48,840 ($165 /hour; all inclusive)
The primary difference between the two companies is the size of their typical clients. Avasant is
a global organization with large clients including the City of Los Angeles, the City of San Diego,
the County of Orange and the State of California. Although Nexlevel has also performed work
for larger organizations including Los Angeles and San Diego County, they recently performed
strategic planning services for similar sized cities including Ontario, Manhattan Beach, Beverly
Hills and Rancho Palos Verdes.
Another differentiating factor was that the proposal from Nexlevel was designed to be staged.
The first stage of the project would involve documenting the current technology infrastructure,
interviewing City staff to understand how existing technology resources are utilized and learn
about upcoming technology needs, then analyzing and benchmarking the results. This stage
would provide all of the information necessary to generate a technology strategic plan and cost
$27,390.
The second stage of the project involves Nexlevel strategizing with staff to formalize the
technology strategic plan. Nexlevel would facilitate a prioritization workshop to generate
consensus on a project list to include in the plan. The end product of the workshop includes a
prioritized list of projects and timeline as deliverables. In addition, Strategic Plan enabling
factors such as training, staffing, budget, governance, project management and change
management would be identified and recommendations made. This stage would culminate with
the publishing of a formal technology strategic plan at a cost of $21,450.
By completing both stages, the City would obtain a complete technology strategic plan similar to
the one that Nexlevel recently completed for Manhattan Beach. Benefits of this plan include a
unified approach to IT Service Management, Citywide prioritization of technology projects, and
optimization of cost and operational efficiencies related to technology within the City.
Recognizing that a technology strategic plan is not a static document, Staff recommends creating
a long term relationship with the consultant. This relationship would involve revisiting the
strategic document periodically to evaluate the progress and identify any mid - course adjustments
that may be necessary or beneficial. These amendments would then be incorporated into the
strategic plan, keeping it both current and relevant. If the City decides to establish a relationship
for long term assistance, based on respective hourly rates, future time and material consulting
services from NexLevel would cost considerably less.
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement in a
form approved by the City Attorney with NexLevel Information Technology, Inc. for technology
strategic planning services at cost not to exceed $48,840.

Mr. Larry Klingaman
Information Systems Manager
City of El Segundo
350 Main Street
El Segundo, CA 90245
RE: Information Systems Assessment & Strategic Plan Project
Dear Mr. Klingaman,
NexLevel Information Technology, Inc. (NexLevel) respectfully submits this proposal letter to the City of El
Segundo to assist the City in developing an IS Assessment and short term (3 -Year) Strategic Plan that identifies
and prioritizes the City's technology projects for the next 24 - 36 months. NexLevel developed our proposal
based on information we received during conversations over the past several weeks and from information
gathered from the City's website and budget. Provided as apart of this letter is a proposal which we believe
meets your short -term needs for an immediate assessment of IS operations, along identification of necessary
technology projects over the next 36 months.
Our Co -.�L pany
Founded in 1999, NexLevel is a California -based management consulting firm that helps public sector clients
plan, procure, implement, and manage complex technology solutions. NexLevel was founded on providing top
tier senior level consulting planning, procurement, and project management services to public agencies, and
these services remain at our core 16 years later.
Our Experience
NexLevel's track record includes supporting over 70 cities, counties, districts, and state agencies. As it relates
specifically to the City's current needs, we have completed more than 35 California local government technology
assessment and strategic plan projects. Regional clients for which we provided similar services include the cities
of Manhattan Beach, Huntington Beach, Ontario, and Glendale. These recent related projects benefit the City
through hands -on experience with the business and operational challenges facing similar sized municipalities, as
well as a strong knowledge of the technologies successfully implemented. Attachment A — Qualifications
provides additional information about NexLevel.
NexLevel proposes a team of consultants with the relevant experience to meet the needs of this important
project. The use of a team approach benefits the City by enabling us to run activities and tasks in parallel under
accelerated timelines. In addition, it provides the City with increased depth of knowledge and expertise.
Mr. Patrick Griffin, Managing Consultant will serve as the Engagement Manager and a subject matter expert.
Supporting Mr. Griffin will be NexLevel Managing Consultants Cindy Abbott, Linda Lang, and Mike Stein.

Our 41- ethodology and Approach
City of El Segundo — 3 -Year IS Strategic Plan
NexLevel is proposing an approach that addresses the City's short -term objectives of reviewing current IS
service delivery and resource levels, identifying immediate technology concerns, and providing a foundation for
future technology endeavors. The proposed methodology is an abbreviated approach to the methods we use to
complete a 5 -year IT Strategic Technology plan. The proposed 3 -Year IS Strategic Plan provides the City a strong
foundation and starting point to expand on future technology related initiatives as future demands dictate.
A cornerstone of NexLevel's assessment and planning methodology is the focus and emphasis on the
involvement and interaction with the department users of technology and those setting the business direction
for the City. To develop the City's 3 -Year IS Strategic Plan, NexLevel will incorporate input from key users and
stakeholders, as well as the City's IS staff.
NexLevel is familiar with the challenges and issues that can arise in developing such plans. For example, we are
skilled in managing multiple, and often conflicting, stakeholder visions, missions, goals, objectives, needs, and
priorities. Our proposed methodology considers project prioritization and includes processes to help manage
competing priorities to ensure the IS Strategic Plan reflects the true business and operational needs of the City.
We pride ourselves in helping organizations develop plans that are realistic and attainable in terms of available
budget, resources and time.
To complete the 3 -Year IS Strategic Plan for the City, NexLevel will complete the following three tasks:
Initiate
s Analyze
s Strategize
In the following paragraphs, we provide a detailed description of each task, as well as key activities and
deliverables for each task.
The primary purpose of Task 1 is to prepare for and initiate the project under a well- defined project plan and
schedule, and to ensure alignment of expectations (i.e. purpose, timeline, resources, activities, etc.) among all
project participants. To accomplish this, it requires planning and coordination between NexLevel and the City's
Project Manager, as well as communication outreach activities to all City staff that will be involved in the
project.
The following table identifies each activity and associated deliverables.

NexLevel's Team is committed to being fully informed and
prepared so as to make the best use of the City staff's time.
To this end, our Team invests the necessary time be familiar
with the City's current operations and activities.
In developing a realistic and attainable 3 -Year IS Strategic Plan, it is necessary to first have a comprehensive and
realistic understanding of the current IS infrastructure and support resources. Secondly, the City must have an
accurate understanding of how departments are using technology today to support operations, and whether that
technology is meeting the City's needs. Task 2 includes the activities that allow for the collection and verification
of information to provide the foundation for the IS Strategic Plan.
The following table lists each activity and identifies key deliverables.

Schedule
City of El Segundo — 3 -Year IS Strategic Plan
NexLevel understands that the City is interested in beginning this project once approvals are in place. NexLevel
is prepared to begin the project upon notification to proceed, and we anticipate that it will entail approximately
12 -16 weeks from start to completion. Completion of the project within this timeframe is dependent on
NexLevel having timely access to key City staff.
Level ®f Ef rt and Pricing
Based on our past experience in working with similar size municipalities, we estimate this project will require
296 hours. NexLevel is proposing a time and materials approach for billing our services at an all- inclusive
(includes all travel and overhead) hourly bill rate of $165. NexLevel will only bill the City for the actual hours
expended, and we commit to a total not -to- exceed price for this project of $48,840. Should the City wish to
embark only on Phases 1 and 2 of the project (Initiate and Analyze phases), the not -to exceed cost for these
first two phases is $27,390, with the final Strategize phase being $21,450 to complete.
If you have any questions about the information contained in this letter proposal, please feel free to contact
Patrick Griffin or me.
Sincerely,
Terry Hackelman
