ORIGINATED BY: Kimberly Christensen, AICP, Planning Manager
REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Director of Planning and Building Safety
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager '94i C�
I. Introduction
The original Corporate Campus development project was approved in 2002. The original
Corporate Campus allowed development of 2,175,000 square feet of commercial, office,
and retail on a 46.5 acre site ( "Original Project "). The first phase, known as the Edge at
Campus El Segundo, was approved in 2007.
In 2013, a revised Corporate Campus project was approved ( "2013 Revised Project "). An
Addendum to the Certified EIR for the 2013 Revised Project analyzed the environmental
effects of a proposed Specific Plan Amendment that would (1) affect the distribution of
vehicle traffic throughout the project site's private streets and (2) change the site plan of
23.87 acres of the site to a 625,205 square -foot commercial office /retail development to
be constructed in three phases (Phases 1, 2 and 3).
The proposed Lakers Project is scaled -down from the 2013 Revised Project. It consists of
up to 133,000 square feet of combined offices, athletic training facilities, and an
exhibition venue for a professional sports team in a single two -story building ( "Lakers
Project "). The proposed project is 81,340 square feet smaller than the previously
approved 214,340 square -foot commercial office /retail development for Phase 3.
Additionally, the previous Addendum to the Certified EIR for the 2013 Revised Project
allowed for a daily maximum allowable trip count in the Phase 3 area of 2,343 trips. The
Lakers Project will generate a total of 1,260 daily trips which is 1,083 fewer trips than the
maximum trip generation used to evaluate the traffic impacts of the Phase 3 portion of the
Revised Project.
II. Project Applications
The applications include the following:
1) Environmcntal Assessment No. EA -1082 - An Addendum to the certified Final
Environmental Impact Report is proposed for the Laker Project pursuant to the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
2) Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 14 -02 - An amendment to the Corporate
Campus Specific Plan to modify the current development standards within the
Corporate Campus Specific Plan. The proposed modifications to the Corporate
Campus Specific Plan (described in detail in the attached Planning Commission staff
report) would:
a) Amend CCSP Section V(A) to add combined offices, athletic training facilities,
and exhibition venues for professional sports teams as proposed by the Lakers Project
as a permitted use;
b) Amend CCSP Section V(F)(10) to allow shared on -site parking for the Lakers
Project through a parking demand study;
2
c) Amend CCSP Section V(1 1)(c) to add athletic training facilities and exhibition
venues for professional sports teams to the list of CCSP non - office uses in
determining the minimum and maximum floor area by use; and
d) Amend CCSP Section V(F)(12) to change the signage section of the CCSP to
allow: a) one non - projecting roof sign up to 24,300 square feet in size; b) one 265
square -foot window sign; c) an increase in the total area of signage per building face
to exceed five (5) percent up to a maximum combined twenty seven (27) percent for
projecting wall signs and LED digital signs with individual projecting wall signs up
to 2,000 square feet in size and LED digital signs up to 450 square feet in size; d)
allocation of up to 65 percent of the sign area of the window sign and seven of the
projecting wall signs with sponsorship name and /or logo information; and e)
allocation of up to 100 percent of the sign area of the non - projecting roof sign and the
LED digital video.
3) Parking .Demand Study No. PDS 14 -01 - A Trip Generation and Parking Demand
Analysis Report ( "Parking Study ") was prepared by Hirsch Green (Exhibit 2a),
submitted by the Applicant, and peer reviewed for the City by Kimley Horn. The
Parking Demand Study identified the demand for parking based on the operation of
the existing Lakers facility. The existing operation includes both permanent and
seasonal employees. The Parking Study also identified the demand for non - office
related uses as part of the Lakers' operation and the demand for parking for the
exhibition games that will contain 750 retractable seats. The parking study
demonstrated that the uses could share the on -site parking provided that the uses do
not operate simultaneously.
4) Modifications to the Conditions of Approval from the Original Project that were
adopted in Resolution No. 4852 and Ordinance No. 1492 - Modification to certain
conditions (Exhibits 2d and 3b) are proposed as part of the 2014 Revised Corporate
Campus Development that includes the Lakers Project. Proposed modifications and
addition to the Original Project conditions of approval include:
a) Require a lot line adjustment to merge the 4 existing parcels that comprise the
Lakers Project site into 1 parcel;
b) Require the approval and relocation of the temporary parking lot located on the
Project site that contains the required 100 parking spaces to the satisfaction of the
City before construction begins; and
c) Make other necessary modifications to the conditions of approval to reconcile
changes in the property involved, the project description, and other requested
discretionary actions as well as changes in any applicable State or local
regulations.
III. Analysis
Please refer to Sections IV through VIII of the Planning Commission Staff Report
(Exhibit 1) for a detailed discussion of the project analysis and findings.
3
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. The City Council conducted a
separately noticed public hearing on the project after the completion of the response to
comments and completion of the FEIR. The proposed uses, buildings, parking, and
circulation improvements of the Lakers Project are consistent with the requirements of
the CCSP and with the Final EIR certified on January 2, 2002, for the Corporate Campus
Project.
Addendum to the FEIR
The City prepared an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for
the 2013 Revised Project that was adopted by the City of El Segundo on November 19,
2013 (Resolution No. 4852). The Addendum evaluates potential environmental effects
which may be associated with the proposed changes to the previously- approved
Development. The Addendum to the FEIR for the proposed Lakers Project analyzes the
proposed amendment to the Corporate Campus Development Project involving the
proposed change from office uses only to the combined corporate offices, athletic
training facility, and exhibition venue for the Los Angeles Lakers and a reduction of
81,340 square feet proposed to be constructed on this 5 -acre site within the Corporate
Campus Specific Plan area.
The Addendum was prepared under the authority of 14 Cal. Code of Regs. § 15164(a)
(CEQA Guidelines) which allows a lead agency to prepare an addendum to a previously
certified FEIR if some changes or additions to the previously certified FEIR are
necessary, but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines § 15162 requiring
preparation of a supplemental or subsequent EIR are present. The Addendum determined
that there would be no new, or substantially more severe, significant impacts than the
impacts originally identified in the FEIR. However, the previously adopted Statement of
Overriding Considerations must be readopted by the City Council stating the specific
reasons why the project's benefits outweigh its significant environmental impacts.
Planning staff recommends that the City Council find that the overriding benefits of the
project outweigh the environmental impacts and readopt the Statement of Overriding
Considerations (Exhibit 2c) as required by CEQA. A complete environmental analysis is
provided in the attached Addendum to the EIR (Exhibit 2a). The adopted Mitigation
Monitoring and Reporting Program is attached (Exhibit 2b).
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 Specific Plan Amendment. The
required findings for each application are discussed in detail in the attached draft
Resolution and draft Ordinance (Exhibits 2 and 3). Staff believes that the City Council
may make the required findings to adopt the Addendum, Statement of Overriding
Considerations (SOC), and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP),
and to approve the Specific Plan Amendment, the Parking Demand Study, and
M
modification to conditions of approval as outlined in the draft Resolution and draft
Ordinance.
VI. Planning Commission Hearing and Public Input
On March 18, 2015, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed
amendment to the Corporate Campus project. After conducting the hearing, the Planning
Commission adopted Resolution No. 2769, recommending that City Council approve the
Lakers Project.
VII. Conclusion and Recommendation
Planning staff believes that the proposed project meets the mandatory findings as set
forth in the staff report and recommends that the City Council: 1) adopt the attached draft
Resolution approving Environmental Assessment No. EA -1082 adopting an Addendum
to the certified Final Environmental Impact Report including implementing the
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), and approving Specific Plan
Amendment No. SPA 14 -02, Parking Demand Study No. PDS 14 -02, and modifications

to the previously certified FEIR and an amendment to
the existing Corporate Campus Specific Plan to
consider, among other things, shared parking
arrangements.
PROPERTY INVOLVED: 615 Douglas Street, 645 Douglas Street, 630 Parkview
Drive South, and 2275 Mariposa Avenue
I. Introduction
This application is for a new Lakers training, administrative, and event building (the "Lakers
Project "). If approved, the project would adopt an addendum to the certified FEIR for the
Corporate Campus development project (approved 2002) and make various amendments to
the existing Corporate Campus Specific Plan to consider, among other things, shared parking
arrangements.
As approved in 2002, the Corporate Campus development project (the "Original
Project ") 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 car
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) and 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 is regulated by the Corporate Campus Specific Plan (CCSP) and was
previously analyzed by the FEIR.
EXHIBIT 1
In 2006, Vesting Tentative Map No. 53570 was recorded, which subdivided the area
within the CCSP area into 26 parcels exclusive of the City -owned parcels. Eight of the
parcels were located north of Maple Avenue.
In 2007, the City Council approved the Edge at Campus Project. This allowed 216,000
square feet of commercial office and retail and eighty -four unit commercial
condominiums pursuant to Vesting Tentative Map No. 68231.
In 2013, the City Council approved a 625,205 square -foot commercial office /retail
development ( "Revised Project ") under (EA -1021) which was a reduced size project
from the Original Project to be constructed in three phases (Phases 1, 2, and 3). The
City approved an Addendum to the FEIR for the Revised Project.

3. Parkina Demand Study No. PDS 14 -01 — A Trip Generation and Parking Demand
Analysis Report ( "Parking Study ") was prepared by Hirsch Green, submitted by the
Applicant, and peer reviewed for the City by Kimley Horn. The Parking Demand
Study identified the demand for parking based on the operation of the existing
Lakers facility and employees including both permanent and seasonal employees.
The Parking Study also identified the demand for non -office related uses as part of
the Lakers' operation and the demand for parking for the exhibition games that will
contain 750 retractable seats, which exceeds the ESMC parking requirement for a
public assembly use with fixed seats.
4. Modification and Addition of Conditions of Approval adopted in Resolution
No. 4241 and Ordinance No. 1345 — Modification to certain conditions are
proposed as part of the 2014 Revised Corporate Campus Development that
includes the Lakers Project. Proposed modifications and addition to the Original
Project conditions of approval include:
a) Require a lot line adjustment to merge the 4 existing parcels that comprise the
Lakers Project site into 1 parcel.
b) Require the approval and relocation of the temporary parking lot located on the
Project site that contains the required 100 parking spaces to the satisfaction of
the City before construction begins.
c) Make other necessary modifications to the conditions of approval to reconcile
changes in the property involved, the project description, and other requested
discretionary actions as well as changes in any applicable State or local
regulations.
Analysis
SITE DESCRIPTION AND SURROUNDING LAND USES
The 46.5 acre Corporate Campus Site is located in the northeast portion of the City of
El Segundo. The site consists of 304,820 square feet of development that includes
the Edge at Corporate Campus project, the existing Hyatt Place hotel development,
two soccer fields, Fire Station No. 2, and the existing internal streets. The remaining
area includes vacant land and internal streets that were approved as the Original
Project. The remaining portion consists of the Revised Project that was approved to be
3
developed in 3 phases (Phase 1: 217,637 square feet; Phase 2: 193,228 square feet;
and Phase 3: 214,340 square feet). The proposed Lakers Project is proposed in the
Phase 3 area of the Revised Project and will replace the concept previously approved
for Phase 3 of the Revised Project. This portion of the City is designated as the
Corporate Campus Specific Plan area.
The surrounding properties are a mix of light industrial, heavy industrial, and multi-
story office buildings. The Lakers Project site surrounding land uses and zoning are
described as follows:
Land Use
Zone
North: Elevon Project (under construction) CCSP
South: Data Center MU -N
East: Northrup Grumman MU -N
West: Fire Station No. 2 & City Soccer Fields CCSP
PROJECT PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The proposed Lakers Project proposes to develop the offices for the Lakers business
and basketball operations, team training facility with a double basketball court,
including an exhibition court, and an exhibition area with accessory spaces and
amenities to accommodate up to 750 retractable seats for use with the D- Fenders
basketball games.
The proposed project includes the development of a 121,852 square -foot, two -story
building on a 5 -acre site. The first floor will consist of 2 full basketball courts and 2 half
courts, a training area, a team area, loading, storage, an atrium, and an exterior
courtyard. There will be limited office space on the first floor which is 73,091 square
feet in size. The basketball court area will be comprised of 23,408 square feet and it
will have 750 retractable seats on the southern end of the court. The southern court
will be the exhibition court used during the D- Fenders home games. Access by the
public during D- Fender games will be provided from the three (3) access points on the
south end of the building. All D- Fender home games (25 -30 games per year) will be
played in the evenings.
The second floor will consist of office uses and is 48,761 square feet in size. Visitor
and Laker's corporate entrance lobby will be on the first floor with access from the
west parking lot. The second floor will be reserved for Lakers' business operations and
basketball operations that serve as the Lakers corporate headquarters which will
consist of a mixture of offices, conference areas, and areas for employee amenities.
The proposed Lakers Project will be developed with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of
0.53:1, which is below 0.99:1 FAR approved for the CCSP and the 214,340 square -
foot Phase 3 concept approved as part of the Revised Project.
Architecture
The proposed two -story building will be constructed of protected structural steel frame.
The first floor wall will be a light gauge frame construction with a stucco exterior. The
4
second floor exterior walls will consist of a combination of curtain wall and metal
panels with punched openings, aluminum mullions, and tinted glass elements
combined into a contemporary design. All sides of the buildings will incorporate the
design elements so as to make each side visually attractive and consistent.
The two -story building will be approximately 38' -6" feet in maximum height to the main
roofline and 51' -6" to the top of the rooftop mechanical screen wall. All roof mounted
equipment will be screened from public view as required.
Circulation and Traffic
The internal private streets within the CCSP area will serve the project site. Ingress
and egress to the project site would be provided by driveways along Douglas Street,
Mariposa Avenue, and Parkview Drive South. The driveways along Douglas Street will
access two separate gated areas, one for players and staff and the other for loading
areas for the building. The driveways along Mariposa Avenue and Parview Drive
South will provide access to the employee and visitor parking areas. Pedestrian
access is provided from four street frontages. A Traffic Analysis was conducted by
Kimley -Horn (Exhibit 1A) as part of the Addendum to the FEIR to determine the trip
generation of the proposed Lakers Project and that the trip generation would not
exceed what was previously studied in the FEIR. The Original Project generated
21,366 daily trips. The Revised Project approved in 2013 generated 10,532 daily trips
with AM and PM peak periods that generated 1,193 and 1,297 trips respectively
compared to 2,267 and 2,795 trips respectively in the Original Project FEIR. The
results of the Analysis indicates that the Lakers Project and changes to the Phase 3
area of the Revised Project would not result in increased traffic congestion or
significant delay to the on -site circulation system as the trip generation for the Lakers
Project is less than what would be generated in the Phase 3 plan under the Revised
Project. At peak period, the Lakers Project will generate 1,260 daily trips whereas the
Phase 3 plan under the Revised Project would have generated 2,343 daily trips as
proposed. Greater detail is provided in the attached Addendum to the FEIR (Exhibit
1 A).
Parking and Loading
Parking is proposed to be located in surface parking lots and in three parking areas for
a total of 276 parking spaces. The west parking lot will contain 112 parking spaces, the
south parking lot will contain 124 parking spaces, and 40 parking spaces on the east
parking lot will be reserved for Lakers players during regular business hours. The
Parking Study identifies the parking demand for training facilities for sports teams as
such uses are not listed in the ESMC and to demonstrate that the office use and
training facilities (non- office), which would operate during the daytime hours from 8:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. could share the 276 on -site parking spaces with the D- Fenders
exhibition games that would take place in the evening hours after 7:00 p.m.
The office use and non -office uses require 200 parking spaces based on the ESMC
and the Parking Study. The west parking lot (112 parking spaces) and the south
parking lot (124 parking spaces) will have a total of 236 parking spaces to
accommodate the office and non -office uses during business hours. In addition, the
5
east lot with 40 parking spaces will also be available for exclusive use by the players
during business hours.
The Lakers Project proposes to have D- Fender exhibition basketball games in the
evening with game start times at 7:00 p.m. The D- Fender games will utilize 750
retractable seats. ESMC § 15- 15 -6(A) requires 188 parking spaces for the 750 fixed
seats. The Parking Study identified the staff and other personnel that would be
required during the exhibition games and established the parking demand for D-
Fenders exhibition games at 257 parking spaces. During the exhibition games the
entire 276 parking spaces will be made available including the 40 -space player parking
lot. There will be 25 to 30 exhibition games per year. The daytime office and non -office
parking demand would generally not overlap with the nighttime D- Fenders game -day
parking demand and therefore the site parking supply can be shared between the two
operating components of the Lakers Project.
Based on the proposed uses and size of the building, two small truck and one large
truck loading spaces are required. The Lakers Project is providing 3 small truck
spaces and one large truck space. The Applicant has indicated that the types of
deliveries that would occur on -site are limited to small trucks and deliveries by large
trucks would not occur. As a result, the Applicant plans to apply for an Administrative
Adjustment to request that a small truck loading space would suffice in place of a large
truck parking space.
SiSi�g
The proposed Lakers Project includes changes to signage regulations. The
amendment would allow certain sign types with increased individual and overall
signage area per building fagade and on the roof of the building. Additionally, the
proposed signage and amendment to the CCSP would allow including sponsorship
information (names and logos) of other businesses on the Lakers building as part of
certain sign types.
Specifically, the proposed amendment to the CCSP Section regarding signage
development standards would allow only combined offices, athletic training facilities,
and exhibition venues for professional sports teams the following signs: a) one non -
projecting roof sign up to 24,300 square feet; b) one 265 square -foot window sign; c)
an increase in the total area of signage per building face to exceed five (5) percent up
to a maximum combined twenty seven (27) percent for projecting wall signs and LED
digital signs with individual projecting wall signs up to 2,000 square feet and LED
digital signs up to 450 square feet; d) allocation of up to 65 percent of the sign area of
the window sign and seven of the projecting wall signs with sponsorship name and /or
logo information; and e) allocation of up to 100 percent of the sign area of the non -
projecting roof sign and the LED digital video.
Although the signage is larger than currently permitted in the CCSP, Planning staff
believes that the signage conforms with the size and scale of the Lakers building and
the uniqueness of the use, and enhances the vibrant aesthetic appearance of the
building and visitor attraction with the high quality signage that is proposed for the
project. Planning staff believes that the signage is consistent with the CCSP Major
0
Goal No. 4 to accentuate the overall positive identity of the community; Goal 4a to
enhance services and convenience while respecting the immediate surrounding uses;
and Goal 4b to incorporate well- designed landscape; lighting and signage elements.
Further, Planning staff believes that the signage is consistent with Signage Policy No.
2 ( "Maintenance and enhancement of the aesthetic environment while preserving the
ability attract sources of economic development and growth ") and Signage Policy No.
3 ( "Support of signs that are integrated with and harmonious in size, design, style,
material, and aesthetic appearance to the buildings and sizes that they occupy and
surround ").
Utilities
The City has easements within the internal private streets that will be maintained for
utility purposes. The applicant will be responsible to construct any and all infrastructure
improvements as required for the project. These infrastructure improvements include
drainage facilities, water, sewer and reclaimed water. Proposed development would
connect into the existing water, sewer, and reclaimed water lines consistent with the
analysis and mitigation measures in the FEIR and Addendum.
V. General Plan Consistent
The El Segundo General Plan land use designation for the Project Site is Corporate
Campus Specific Plan. This designation seeks a range of commercial office and non -
office uses in an integrated campus type design, which promotes employment and
diversity. The Specific Plan Amendment will specifically identify the training component
and exhibition games as a permitted use. The Lakers Project and its consistency with
relevant Element Goals, Objectives and Policies of the City of El Segundo General
Plan are discussed in the attached draft resolution (Exhibit 1).

VII. Environmental Review /Certified EIR and Addendum
The proposed uses, buildings, parking, and circulation improvements of the Lakers
Project are consistent with the requirements of the CCSP as proposed to be amended
and are consistent with the FEIR.
Addendum to the FEIR
The City approved an addendum to the FEIR for the 2013 Revised Project that
analyzed the proposed amendment to the Corporate Campus Development project
that eliminated a private street that was approved as part of the traffic circulation under
the Original Project FEIR. In addition the 2013 Addendum considered a revised project
that was reduced from 2,175,000 square feet to 930,025 square feet.
The proposed Addendum to the FEIR analyzes the Lakers Project. The Addendum
concludes that there will be no new, or substantially more severe, significant impacts
than the impacts originally identified in the FEIR. However, the previously adopted
Statement of Overriding Considerations must be readopted by the City Council stating
the specific reasons why the project's benefits outweigh its significant environmental
impacts. Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission find that the
overriding benefits of the project outweigh the environmental impacts and recommend
to the City Council readopt the Statement of Overriding Considerations (Exhibit 4) as
required by CEQA. A complete environmental analysis is provided in the attached
Addendum to the EIR (Exhibit 1A). The adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program is attached (Exhibit 3).

APPROVE THE LAKERS PROJECT PROPOSED FOR THE
CORPORATE CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING AN ADDENDUM
TO A FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT NO. EA -1082; SPECIFIC PLAN
AMENDMENT NO. SPA 14 -02; AND PARKING DEMAND STUDY NO.
PDS 14 -01.
The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The Planning Commission finds and declares that:
A. In 2002, the City Council adopted the Corporate Campus Specific Plan
( "CCSP "). The CCSP was subsequently amended in 2013;
B. On September 2, 2014, LAL Property, LLC filed an application for a further
amendment to the CCSP in order to accommodate a new facility used by
the Los Angeles Lakers and its affiliates. The City identified the application
as Environmental Assessment No. EA -1082; Specific Plan Amendment
No. SPA 14 -02; and Parking Demand Study No. PDS 14 -01 (collectively,
the "Lakers Project ").
C. The applications from LAL Property, LLC (collectively, the "Lakers
Project ") were 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 ESMC;
D. In addition, the City reviewed the Lakers 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);
E. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review and
scheduled a public hearing regarding the project before the Planning
Commission for March 18, 2015;
F. On March 18, 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 LAL Property, LLC;
-1-
G. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the testimony and
evidence presented to the Commission at its March 18, 2015 public
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 Lakers Project is proposed on an approximately 5 -acre portion of the
46.5 acre Corporate Campus Project site located in the northeast portion
of the City of El Segundo. The 5 -acre portion of the site is comprised of
four (4) parcels that will be merged into one parcel through a Lot Line
Adjustment that will required as a condition of approval. The subject
property is bounded by Campus Drive to the north, Douglas Street to the
east, Mariposa Avenue and Fire Station No. 2 to the south, and Parkview
Drive South and Fire Station No. 2 to the west.
B. The 46.5 -acre project site (Corporate Campus Project Site) 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. In 2013, the City approved a three -phase
development project of approximately 625,205 square feet ( "2013 Revised
Project ") to be developed at a 0.60:1 FAR and that when added to the
304,820 square feet of existing improvements totaled 930,025 square feet.
C. The proposed Lakers Project is a new development to allow up to a
maximum of 133,000 square feet of combined offices, athletic training
facilities, and exhibition venues for a professional sports team. The facility
will be constructed on approximately 5 acres on the former Phase 3 area
of the 2013 Revised Project and is approximately 81,340 square feet
smaller than the 214,340 square -foot office development approved for
Phase 3 of the 2013 Revised Project.
D. The proposed project would consist of a two -story building with a
maximum height of 51' -6 ". The maximum height in the Corporate Campus
Specific Plan is 175 feet. All development within the proposed Corporate
Campus project area would conform to Corporate Campus Specific Plan
development standards excepting the development standards specified in
the amendment requests.
E. The CCSP allows for the development at a FAR of 0.99:1. The proposed
FAR for this development is 0.53:1.
_2_
F. Ingress and egress to the proposed Lakers Project would be provided
from driveways with direct access from Douglas Street, Parkview Drive
South, and Mariposa Avenue.
G. Parking for the proposed Lakers Project will be located on three surface
parking lots. The west parking lot will contain 112 parking spaces, the
south parking lot will contain 124 parking spaces, the east parking lot,
which is reserved for players during business hours will have 40 parking
spaces for a total of 276 on -site parking spaces. Based on the ESMC
parking requirements and a Parking Demand Study that was performed
for the project, the office and athletic training facilities, which will operate
during the day requires 200 parking spaces. The minimum parking
requirements established in the Parking Demand Study will be met in that
236 parking spaces plus the 40 spaces for the players will be available for
the daytime uses. The Exhibition games for the D- Fenders home games,
which will operate in the evening 25 to 30 times per year require 188
parking spaces per the CCSP and ESMC. The Parking Demand Study
indicated that 259 parking spaces would be required. The entire 276 on-
site parking spaces will be available for the exhibition games. The Parking
Demand Study demonstrated that the day time uses (office and non -office
use) and the evening use (exhibition game venue) could share the on -site
parking spaces as the uses would not overlap. Ample parking will be
provided to meet the parking demand for each use during their respective
time of operation.
H. Signage for the proposed Lakers Project will include a non - projecting roof
sign up to 24,300 square feet in size; one 265 square -foot window sign; an
increase in the total area of signage allowed per building face to exceed
five (5) percent for a maximum combined area that ranges from twelve
(12) percent to a maximum of twenty seven (27) percent per building face
for projecting wall signs and LED digital signs with individual projecting
wall signs up to 2,000 square feet in size and LED digital signs up to 450
square feet in size; allocation of up to 65 percent of the sign area of the
window sign and each of seven of the projecting wall signs with
sponsorship name and /or logo information; and allocation of up to 100
percent of the sign area of the non - projecting roof sign and the LED digital
video sign.
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 reviewed the Lakers Project and prepared an Addendum to the
FEIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15090. A true and correct copy of
-3-
the Addendum is attached as Exhibit "A," and incorporated by reference.
None of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines § 15162 requiring a
subsequent or supplemental EIR are 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. The Addendum was not circulated for public review, but will be included in
or attached to the FEIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15164(c).
D. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15164(e), the Addendum includes
an explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines § 15162 and the explanation is supported by
substantial evidence.
E. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines §§ 15090 and 15164(d) the
Addendum reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis and was
considered with the FEIR before the Planning Commission considered the
project. The Addendum is an accurate and complete statement of the
environmental impacts of the project. The Addendum to the FEIR was
prepared under the direction of the City of El Segundo Planning and
Building Safety Department and reflects the independent judgment and
analysis of the environmental impacts of the project.
F. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15091, 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.
G. The Planning Commission finds that all mitigation measures now
incorporated into the project are desirable and feasible. The Planning
Commission recommends that the City Council certify the Addendum.
H. Because of the facts identified in this Resolution, the Addendum shows
that a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required in order for
the Lakers Project to be approved.
SECTION 4: General Plan and Specific Plan. The proposed project conforms to the
General Plan as follows:
A. The General Plan contains a number of relevant Goals, Objectives, and
Policies in the Economic Development Element. The goal of Objective
ED1 -1 is building "support and cooperation among the City of El Segundo
and its businesses and residential communities for the mutual benefits
derived from the maintenance and expansion of El Segundo's economic
-4-
base." The benefits of the development will be shared and supported by
all constituencies in the City. The development will provide significant
fiscal benefit to the City by generating additional business license fees.
B. According to Policy ED1 -1.2, long -run efforts for economic development
should focus on "diversification of El Segundo's economic base in order to
meet quality of life goals." The project will add to the diversification of the
economic base in the City by providing a combined office, athletic training
facility, and exhibition venue for professional sports team use that exists
on a limited basis in the City. Therefore, these uses will meet quality of life
goals by benefiting the residential and business communities with a
unique use in the City that also provides a recreational amenity.
C. Policies ED1 -2.1 and ED1 -2.2, both seek to promote land uses, which
improve the City's commercial tax base. The purpose of the Corporate
Campus Specific Plan Land Use Designation is to provide for office
development and supporting retail and other commercial services which
provide a fiscal benefit to the City. The City has seen a change in office
development that incorporates retail and other uses. The proposed project
will provide this opportunity in the northeast area of the City.
D. The proposed project meets the City's policy of seeking balance between
enhanced economic development and available resources and
infrastructure capacity (Policies ED1 -2.3 and LU7 -1.2). As adequate
resources are currently available within the City to serve the proposed
project or will be developed as part of the project, as supported by the
certified FEIR and the addendum to the FEIR, a substantial new
commitment of resources or infrastructure is not required. Based on this,
the proposed project is consistent with Policy ED1 -2.3.
E. Implementation of the proposed project will meet relevant goals and
policies with regard to the Land Use Element. The project will help the tax
base through the development of new commercial uses without adversely
affecting the viability of downtown (Goal LU4). The development that will
be provided is a fairly unique use in El Segundo that will also attract
visitors to the City.
F. The project will be conditioned to require maintenance and permanent
upkeep on all the landscaping developed in conjunction with the project as
required by Policy LU4 -1.1.
G. Any development on the Corporate Campus Project would be required to
meet all health and safety and environmental regulations and would be
built to meet all current seismic safety standards, as overseen by the
Building Safety Division. The appropriate regulatory agencies, including
the Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) would be required
-5-
to approve remediation of any existing soil and water contamination that
may be present on the Corporate Campus Project Site. The LARWQCB
determines what level of contaminants are acceptable to allow
construction at the subject site (Policy LU4 -1.2 and Policy LU4 -1.4).
H. Any proposed development would comply with all the zoning regulations
and development standards for the Corporate Campus Specific Plan Zone
(Policy LU4 -2.1).
The Corporate Campus Project Site is located within a quarter -mile of a
Green Line's Mariposa /Nash Station. (Policy LU4 -4.4) which will help
encourage transit ridership to the project.
J. The development of the Laker Project Site would allow for the
development of a site that has been vacant for many years and was
previously improved with a blighted former industrial use area into a new
commercial opportunity for the surrounding area. This redevelopment
would occur through the combined efforts of the City of El Segundo and
private applicants and would conform to the Corporate Campus Specific
Plan development standards (Objective LU5 -3).
K. As development on the site is approved, stormwater detention basin(s)
would be required to contain the stormwater runoff. The size of these
basin(s) would depend on the size of the individual developments and
would be determined through completing a hydrology study as may be
required (Policy LU7 -1.4).
L. All new on -site utilities required for will be placed underground with the
construction of the individual project (Policy LU7 -2.3).
M. Off - street parking will be provided as required to accommodate employees
and the public (Policy LU7 -2.4).
N. The proposed project will be required to have strategic safety plans and a
fire life safety plan in place (Policy LU 7 -1.1 and Policy LU 7 -1.2). All on-
site utilities will be placed underground (Policy LU7 -2.3).
O. Access to development on the Corporate Campus Project Site would be
provided from Campus Drive, Douglas Street, Parkview Drive South, and
Mariposa Avenue. This would allow emergency vehicle access to the site
from all sides of the site (Policy C1- 1.10).
P. The Traffic Study, which was performed as part of the Addendum to the
FEIR determined that the number of vehicles trips would be less than the
maximum number of trips allowed under the certified FEIR for the Original
Corporate Campus project and the Revised Corporate Campus
0
Development project and would generate 149 a.m. peak period trips and
188 p.m. peak -period trips and would remain below the 352 a.m. peak
period trips and 319 p.m. peak period trips as identified in the Revised
Project for the same 5 -acre site.
Q. Development on the Lakers Project Site would incorporate sidewalks
along project boundaries as required (Policy C2 -1.4).
R. The proposed project will adhere to any applicable regulations regarding
preferential parking areas or promotion of ride share (Policy C2 -5.1). The
proposed project will provide sufficient on -site parking and loading (Policy
C3 -2.1 and C1 -3.2) as required by the Corporate Campus Specific Plan,
the ESMC and as determined by the Parking Demand Study.
S. Parking would be provided on the proposed Lakers Project Site in
accordance with the ESMC's parking requirements (Policy C3 -2.1).
T. The construction and /or maintenance of existing infrastructure to
accommodate the use of reclaimed water for irrigation systems, when
available, and the application of the City's Water Conservation in
Landscape regulations (ESMC Chapter 10 -2), as required by mitigation
measures M.2 -4, M2.5, M2.6, M.2 -10, M2 -13, and M2 -16 and Condition of
Approval No. 8, would be consistent with and further Policies CN2 -5, CN2 -
7, CN2 -12.
U. All development on the Corporate Campus Project Site is required to
include a comprehensive and coherent design for the development,
including landscaping and amenities, in order to improve the existing
aesthetic appearance of the site (Policy CN2 -7).
V. All development on the Corporate Campus Project Site is required to
include facilities capable of holding stormwater runoff resulting from the
development. All development on the Corporate Campus Project Site
would be required to utilize reclaimed water for landscaping to the extent
feasible (Policy CN2 -12). Additionally, reclaimed water would be used to
the extent possible in the irrigation of the landscaping (Policy CN2 -11).
W. The project would provide a comprehensive and coordinated design of the
entire project site, including landscape amenities to substantially improve
the aesthetic appearance of the site and the surrounding area as
encouraged by Policy CN5 -6.
X. The project was identified and is currently under Los Angeles Regional
Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) orders to remediate soil and
ground water contamination as contemplated by Goal CN3 and Policy
CN3 -2 to protect groundwater from contamination.
-7-
Y. The project will be required to implement transportation demand
management programs, as required by Mitigation Measure B -3 (bike,
rideshare matching, and transit options), and as required by ESMC
Chapters 15 -16 and 15 -17 will demonstrate compliance with air quality
objectives to encourage alternative commuting strategies (AQ1 -1), reduce
vehicle trips (AQ3 -1.1, AQ 3 -1.2), and promote non - motorized
transportation (AQ 4 -1.1).
Z. The project will implement a number of traffic improvements, as required
by mitigation measures B -6 through B -14 which will improve traffic flow
(Policy AQ 7 -1.1, AQ 7 -2.1).
AA. Mitigation measure M.5 -1 provides that the proposed project will
incorporate energy conservation measures consistent with City (Policy
AQ 12-1.2).
BB. Implementation of the proposed project, subject to mitigation measures D-
1 through D -3 which address construction hours, equipment mufflers,
construction equipment staging, and noise barriers, will be consistent with
relevant policies of the City's Noise Element (Policies N1 -2.1, 1\11 -2.113,
N1 -2.1C, N1 -3.1, N1 -3.5, and Program N1- 2.1A).
CC. The development on the proposed Project Site with years of prior
industrial use on the property which will significantly reduce the quantity of
many hazardous materials that have been handled on the site (Objective
PS3 -1).
DD. The developer will remediate any soil and groundwater contamination
under the authority of the LARWQCB (Policy PS4 -1.1).
EE. Public Safety Element Policy PS6 -1.2 to continue efforts to reduce fire
hazards would be furthered by preparation of fire life safety plans
(mitigation measures L.2 -1 through L.2 -5) and the reduction of fire prone
industrial facilities.
FF. As a re -use of a previously developed industrial site, that will be
remediated to the satisfaction of the appropriate regulatory agencies and
will not pose any health hazard to employees, patrons or visitors to the
site, the project is consistent with Policy HM3 -1.1 requiring compliance
with hazardous materials handling laws.
GG. The proposed project will also meet the 5 major goals listed in the
Corporate Campus Specific Plan ( "CCSP "), which are reflective of the
General Plan, 1. Facilitate Economic Development; 2. Promote compatible
land uses; 3. Provide Safe Convenient, and Efficient Circulation System;
M
4. Accentuate Overall Positive Identity of the Community; and 5.
Encourage Alternative Modes of Transportation.
HH. The proposed project meets CCSP Goal 1a as the project will enhance
the City's economic base by adding a variety of uses (but not limited to)
office, hotel, restaurant, recreation, light industrial, research and
development, technology /web hosting /telecommunications and a
combined office, athletic training facility and an exhibition game venue for
professional sports team.
II. The project meets CCSP Goal 2a and 2b as the proposed uses will retain
economic viability and will also stimulate compatible quality development.
JJ. The proposed project will have vehicular and pedestrian access from the
surrounding streets abutting the property and will have shared parking
between two uses that will have peak operation at alternative times. The
proposed project will have the opportunity to promote and encourage ride
sharing when the two uses occur per CCSP Goal 3c.
KK. The proposed project will provide a positive identity and will expand on the
branding of the business entity through effective signage and will integrate
well designed landscaping meeting the goals of CCSP 4a and 4b.
LL. The project site is located within a '/4 mile of the Metro Green Line Light
Rail with a Light Rail Station at Nash Street and Mariposa Avenue within
walking distance. The exhibition venue will draw visitors from the
metropolitan region with the ability of encouraging alternative modes of
transportation and thus meeting CCSP Goals 5a, 5b, and 5c.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AN ADDENDUM TO A FINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT NO. EA -1082, AND APPROVING A PARKING DEMAND
STUDY AND MODIFICATIONS TO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL FOR
THE CORPORATE CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AS
AMENDED BY THE LAKERS PROJECT.
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:
A. In 2002, the City Council adopted the Corporate Campus Specific Plan
( "CCSP "). The CCSP was subsequently amended in 2013;
B. On September 2, 2014, LAL Property, LLC filed an application for a further
amendment to the CCSP in order to accommodate a new facility used by
the Los Angeles Lakers and its affiliates. The City identified the application
as Environmental Assessment No. EA -1082; Specific Plan Amendment
No. SPA 14 -02; and Parking Demand Study No. PDS 14 -01 (collectively,
the " Lakers Project ").
C. The application for the Lakers 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 ESMC;
D. In addition, the City reviewed the Lakers 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);
E. On March 18, 2015, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No.
2769, recommending that the City Council approve the Lakers Project;
F. On April 7, 2015, the City Council held a duly advertised public hearing in
the Council Chamber of the El Segundo City Hall, 350 Main Street to
receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications
including, without limitation, information provided to the Council by City
Staff, public testimony, and representatives of LAL Property, LLC; and
G. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the testimony and
evidence presented to the City Council at its April 7, 2015 public hearing
EXHIBIT 2
-1-
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 Lakers Project is proposed on an approximately 5 -acre portion of the
46.5 acre Corporate Campus Project site located in the northeast portion
of the City of El Segundo. The 5 -acre portion of the site is comprised of
four (4) parcels that will be merged into one parcel through a Lot Line
Adjustment that will required as a condition of approval. The subject
property is bounded by Campus Drive to the north, Douglas Street to the
east, Mariposa Avenue and Fire Station No. 2 to the south, and Parkview
Drive South and Fire Station No. 2 to the west.
B. The 46.5 -acre project site (Corporate Campus Project Site) 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. In 2013, the City approved a three -phase
development project of approximately 625,205 square feet ( "2013 Revised
Project ") to be developed at a 0.60:1 FAR and that when added to the
304,820 square feet of existing improvements totaled 930,025 square feet.
C. The proposed Lakers Project is a new development to allow up to a
maximum of 133,000 square feet of combined offices, athletic training
facilities, and exhibition venues for a professional sports team. The facility
will be constructed on approximately 5 acres on the former Phase 3 area
of the 2013 Revised Project and is approximately 81,340 square feet
smaller than the 214,340 square -foot office development approved for
Phase 3 of the 2013 Revised Project.
D. The proposed project would consist of a two -story building with a
maximum height of 51' -6 ". The maximum height in the Corporate Campus
Specific Plan is 175 feet. All development within the proposed Corporate
Campus project area would conform to Corporate Campus Specific Plan
development standards excepting the development standards specified in
the amendment requests.
E. The CCSP allows for the development at a FAR of 0.99:1. The proposed
FAR for this development is 0.53:1.
F. Ingress and egress to the proposed Lakers Project would be provided
from driveways with direct access from Douglas Street, Parkview Drive
South, and Mariposa Avenue.
-2-
G. Parking for the proposed Lakers Project will be located on three surface
parking lots. The west parking lot will contain 112 parking spaces, the
south parking lot will contain 124 parking spaces, the east parking lot,
which is reserved for players during business hours will have 40 parking
spaces for a total of 276 on -site parking spaces. Based on the ESMC
parking requirements and a Parking Demand Study that was performed
for the project, the office and athletic training facilities, which will operate
during the day requires 200 parking spaces. The minimum parking
requirements established in the Parking Demand Study will be met in that
236 parking spaces plus the 40 spaces for the players will be available for
the daytime uses. The Exhibition games for the D- Fenders home games,
which will operate in the evening 25 to 30 times per year require 188
parking spaces per the CCSP and ESMC. The Parking Demand Study
indicated that 259 parking spaces would be required. The entire 276 on-
site parking spaces will be available for the exhibition games. The Parking
Demand Study demonstrated that the day time uses (office and non -office
use) and the evening use (exhibition game venue) could share the on -site
parking spaces as the uses would not overlap. Ample parking will be
provided to meet the parking demand for each use during their respective
time of operation.
H, Signage for the proposed Lakers Project will include a non - projecting roof
sign up to 24,300 square feet in size; one 265 square -foot window sign; an
increase in the total area of signage allowed per building face to exceed
five (5) percent for a maximum combined area that ranges from twelve
(12) percent to a maximum of twenty seven (27) percent per building face
for projecting wall signs and LED digital signs with individual projecting
wall signs up to 2,000 square feet in size and LED digital signs up to 450
square feet in size; allocation of up to 65 percent of the sign area of the
window sign and each of seven of the projecting wall signs with
sponsorship name and /or logo information; and allocation of up to 100
percent of the sign area of the non - projecting roof sign and the LED digital
video sign.
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 reviewed the Lakers Project and prepared an Addendum to the
FEIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15090. A true and correct copy of
the Addendum is attached as Exhibit "A," and incorporated by reference.
None of the conditions in CEQA Guidelines § 15162 requiring a
subsequent or supplemental EIR are present. No new significant effects
will result from the revised project. No significant effects previously
-3-
examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the FEIR in
accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15164(a).
C. The Addendum was not circulated for public review, but will be included in
or attached to the FEIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15164(c).
D. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15164(e), the Addendum includes
an explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR pursuant
to CEQA Guidelines § 15162 and the explanation is supported by
substantial evidence.
E. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines §§ 15090 and 15164(d) the
Addendum reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis and was
considered with the FEIR before the City Council considered the project.
The Addendum is an accurate and complete statement of the
environmental impacts of the project. The Addendum to the FEIR was
prepared under the direction of the City of El Segundo Planning and
Building Safety Department and reflects the independent judgment and
analysis of the environmental impacts of the project.
F. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15091, the record on which the
City Council'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.
G. The City Council finds that all mitigation measures now incorporated into
the project are desirable and feasible. The City Council approves the
Addendum.
H. Because of the facts identified in this Resolution, the Addendum shows
that a Statement of Overriding Considerations will be required in order for
the Lakers Project to be approved.
SECTION 4: General Plan and Specific Plan. The proposed project conforms to the
General Plan as follows:
A. The General Plan contains a number of relevant Goals, Objectives, and
Policies in the Economic Development Element. The goal of Objective
ED1 -1 is building "support and cooperation among the City of El Segundo
and its businesses and residential communities for the mutual benefits
derived from the maintenance and expansion of El Segundo's economic
base." The benefits of the development will be shared and supported by
all constituencies in the City. The development will provide significant
fiscal benefit to the City by generating additional business license fees.
-4-
B. According to Policy ED1 -1.2, long -run efforts for economic development
should focus on "diversification of El Segundo's economic base in order to
meet quality of life goals." The project will add to the diversification of the
economic base in the City by providing a combined office, athletic training
facility, and exhibition venue for professional sports team use that exists
on a limited basis in the City. Therefore, these uses will meet quality of life
goals by benefiting the residential and business communities with a
unique use in the City that also provides a recreational amenity.
C. Policies ED1 -2.1 and ED1 -2.2, both seek to promote land uses, which
improve the City's commercial tax base. The purpose of the Corporate
Campus Specific Plan Land Use Designation is to provide for office
development and supporting retail and other commercial services which
provide a fiscal benefit to the City. The City has seen a change in office
development that incorporates retail and other uses. The proposed project
will provide this opportunity in the northeast area of the City.
D. The proposed project meets the City's policy of seeking balance between
enhanced economic development and available resources and
infrastructure capacity (Policies ED1 -2.3 and LU7 -1.2). As adequate
resources are currently available within the City to serve the proposed
project or will be developed as part of the project, as supported by the
certified FEIR and the addendum to the FEIR, a substantial new
commitment of resources or infrastructure is not required. Based on this,
the proposed project is consistent with Policy ED1 -2.3.
E. Implementation of the proposed project will meet relevant goals and
policies with regard to the Land Use Element. The project will help the tax
base through the development of new commercial uses without adversely
affecting the viability of downtown (Goal LU4). The development that will
be provided is a fairly unique use in El Segundo that will also attract
visitors to the City.
F. The project will be conditioned to require maintenance and permanent
upkeep on all the landscaping developed in conjunction with the project as
required by Policy LU4 -1.1.
G. Any development on the Corporate Campus Project is required to meet all
health and safety and environmental regulations and would be built to
meet all current seismic safety standards, as overseen by the Building
Safety Division. The appropriate regulatory agencies, including the
Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) are required to
approve remediation of any existing soil and water contamination that may
be present on the Corporate Campus Project Site. The LARWQCB
determines what level of contaminants are acceptable to allow
construction at the subject site (Policy LU4 -1.2 and Policy LU4 -1.4).
-5-
H. Any proposed development must comply with all the zoning regulations
and development standards for the Corporate Campus Specific Plan
(CCSP) Zone (Policy LU4 -2.1).
The Corporate Campus Project Site is located within a quarter -mile of a
Green Line's Mariposa /Nash Station. (Policy LU44.4) which will help
encourage transit ridership to the project.
J. The development of the Lakers Project Site would allow development on a
site that has been vacant for many years and was previously improved
with a blighted former industrial use area into a new commercial
opportunity for the surrounding area. This redevelopment would occur
through the combined efforts of the City of El Segundo and private
applicants and would conform to the Corporate Campus Specific Plan
development standards (Objective LU5 -3).
K. As development on the site is approved, stormwater detention basin(s)
would be required to contain the stormwater runoff. The size of these
basin(s) would depend on the size of the individual developments and
would be determined through completing a hydrology study as may be
required (Policy LU7 -1.4).
L. All new on -site utilities required for will be placed underground with the
construction of the individual project (Policy LU7 -2.3).
M. Off - street parking will be provided as required to accommodate employees
and the public (Policy LU7 -2.4).
N. The proposed project will be required to have strategic safety plans and a
fire life safety plan in place (Policy LU 7 -1.1 and Policy LU 7 -1.2). All on-
site utilities will be placed underground (Policy LU7 -2.3).
O. Access to development on the Corporate Campus Project Site would be
provided from Campus Drive, Douglas Street, Parkview Drive South, and
Mariposa Avenue. This would allow emergency vehicle access to the site
from all sides of the site (Policy C1- 1.10).
P. The Traffic Study, which was performed as part of the Addendum to the
FEIR determined that the number of vehicles trips would be less than the
maximum number of trips allowed under the certified FEIR for the Original
Corporate Campus project and the Revised Corporate Campus
Development project and would generate 149 a.m. peak period trips and
188 p.m. peak period trips and would remain below the 352 a.m. peak
period trips and 319 p.m. peak period trips as identified in the Revised
Project for the same 5 -acre site.
0
Q. Development on the Lakers Project Site would incorporate sidewalks
along project boundaries as required (Policy C2 -1.4).
R. The proposed project will adhere to any applicable regulations regarding
preferential parking areas or promotion of ride share (Policy C2 -5.1). The
proposed project will provide sufficient on -site parking and loading (Policy
C3 -2.1 and C1 -3.2) as required by the Corporate Campus Specific Plan,
the ESMC and as determined by the Parking Demand Study.
S. Parking would be provided on the proposed Lakers Project Site in
accordance with the ESMC's parking requirements (Policy C3 -2.1).
T. The construction and /or maintenance of existing infrastructure to
accommodate the use of reclaimed water for irrigation systems, when
available, and the application of the City's Water Conservation in
Landscape regulations (ESMC Chapter 10 -2), as required by mitigation
measures M.24, M2.5, M2.6, M.2 -10, M2 -13, and M2 -16 and Condition of
Approval No. 8, would be consistent with and further Policies CN2 -5, CN2 -
7, CN2 -12.
U. All development on the Corporate Campus Project Site is required to
include a comprehensive and coherent design for the development,
including landscaping and amenities, in order to improve the existing
aesthetic appearance of the site (Policy CN2 -7).
V. All development on the Corporate Campus Project Site is required to
include facilities capable of holding stormwater runoff resulting from the
development. All development on the Corporate Campus Project Site
would be required to utilize reclaimed water for landscaping to the extent
feasible (Policy CN2 -12). Additionally, reclaimed water would be used to
the extent possible in the irrigation of the landscaping (Policy CN2 -11).
W. The project would provide a comprehensive and coordinated design of the
entire project site, including landscape amenities to substantially improve
the aesthetic appearance of the site and the surrounding area as
encouraged by Policy CN5 -6.
X. The project was identified and is currently under Los Angeles Regional
Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) orders to remediate soil and
ground water contamination as contemplated by Goal CN3 and Policy
CN3 -2 to protect groundwater from contamination.
Y. The project will be required to implement transportation demand
management programs, as required by Mitigation Measure B -3 (bike,
rideshare matching, and transit options) and, as required by ESMC
Chapters 15 -16 and 15 -17, will demonstrate compliance with air quality
objectives to encourage alternative commuting strategies (AQ1 -1), reduce
vehicle trips (AQ3 -1.1, AQ 3 -1.2), and promote non - motorized
transportation (AQ 4 -1.1).
Z. The project will implement a number of traffic improvements, as required
by mitigation measures B -6 through B -14 which will improve traffic flow
(Policy AQ 7 -1.1, AQ 7 -2.1).
AA. Mitigation measure M.5 -1 provides that the proposed project will
incorporate energy conservation measures consistent with City (Policy
AQ 12-1.2).
BB. Implementation of the proposed project, subject to mitigation measures D-
1 through D -3 which address construction hours, equipment mufflers,
construction equipment staging, and noise barriers, will be consistent with
relevant policies of the City's Noise Element (Policies N1 -2.1, N1 -2.11B,
N1 -2.1C, N1 -3.1, N1 -3.5, and Program N1- 2.1A).
CC. The development on the proposed Project Site with years of prior
industrial use on the property which will significantly reduce the quantity of
many hazardous materials that have been handled on the site (Objective
PS3 -1).
DD. The developer will remediate any soil and groundwater contamination
under the authority of the LARWQCB (Policy PS4 -1.1).
EE. Public Safety Element Policy PS6 -1.2 to continue efforts to reduce fire
hazards would be furthered by preparation of fire life safety plans
(mitigation measures L.2 -1 through L.2 -5) and the reduction of fire prone
industrial facilities.
FF. As a re -use of a previously developed industrial site, that will be
remediated to the satisfaction of the appropriate regulatory agencies and
will not pose any health hazard to employees, patrons or visitors to the
site, the project is consistent with Policy HM3 -1.1 requiring compliance
with hazardous materials handling laws.
GG. The proposed project will also meet the 5 major goals listed in the
Corporate Campus Specific Plan ( "CCSP "), which are reflective of the
General Plan, 1. Facilitate Economic Development; 2. Promote compatible
land uses; 3. Provide Safe Convenient, and Efficient Circulation System;
4. Accentuate Overall Positive Identity of the Community; and 5.
Encourage Alternative Modes of Transportation.
HH. The proposed project meets CCSP Goal 1a as the project will enhance
the City's economic base by adding a variety of uses (but not limited to)
office, hotel, restaurant, recreation, light industrial, research and
development, technology /web hosting /telecommunications and a
combined office, athletic training facility and an exhibition game venue for
professional sports team.
II. The project meets CCSP Goal 2a and 2b as the proposed uses will retain
economic viability and will also stimulate compatible quality development.
JJ. The proposed project will have vehicular and pedestrian access from the
surrounding streets abutting the property and will have shared parking
between two uses that will have peak operation at alternative times. The
proposed project will have the opportunity to promote and encourage ride
sharing when the two uses occur per CCSP Goal 3c.
KK. The proposed project will provide a positive identity and will expand on the
branding of the business entity through effective signage and will integrate
well designed landscaping meeting the goals of CCSP 4a and 4b.
LL. The project site is located within a % mile of the Metro Green Line Light
Rail with a Light Rail Station at Nash Street and Mariposa Avenue within
walking distance. The exhibition venue will draw visitors from the
metropolitan region with the ability of encouraging alternative modes of
transportation and thus meeting CCSP Goals 5a, 5b, and 5c.
SECTION 5: Approvals.
A. The City Council adopts the Addendum attached as Exhibit "A" subject to
the conditions listed on attached Exhibit "D," which are both incorporated
into this Resolution by reference. The administrative record contains
substantial evidence to support the City's determination that none of the
conditions described in the CEQA Guidelines requiring a subsequent or
supplemental EIR are present and that the Addendum is the appropriate
documentation required for this Project. In conjunction with approving the
Addendum, the City readopts the Statement of Overriding Considerations
set forth in Exhibit "C," which is incorporated by reference, in accordance
with the requirements of Public Resources Code § 21081.
B. Pursuant to Public Resources Code § §21081(a) and 21081.6, the City
Council adopts the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)
set forth in attached Exhibit "B," which is incorporated into this Resolution
by reference. The City Council adopts each of the mitigation measures as
conditions of approval for the Project. Other Project conditions of approval
and compliance with applicable codes, policies, and regulations will further
ensure that the environmental impacts of the proposed project will not be
greater than set forth in the FEIR and these findings.
C. Subject to the conditions listed on the attached Exhibit "D," which are
incorporated into this Resolution by reference, the City Council approves
Environmental Assessment No. EA -1082, Specific Plan Amendment No.
SPA 14 -02, and Parking Demand Study No. PDS 14 -01.
SECTION 6: 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 City
Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in
the record as a whole.
SECTION 7: 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 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 8: 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 9: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 10: According to the ESMC, a copy of this Resolution must be mailed to LAL
Property, LLC and to any other person requesting a copy.

CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION No.
Exhibit C
On January 2, 2002, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4241 and Ordinance No. 1345
approving Environmental Assessment No. 548 (the "FEIR "), Specific Plan No. 01 -1,
Development Agreement No. 01 -1, General Plan Amendment No. 01 -2, Zone Change No. 01 -1,
Zone Text Amendment No. 01 -1, Administrative Use Permit No. 01 -1, and Subdivision No. 01 -5
(Vesting Tentative Tract No. 53570) for the El Segundo Corporate Campus Project.
The FEIR analyzed 2,175,000 square feet of commercial office and retail uses on the
approximately 46.5 -acre Corporate Campus Specific Plan ( "CCSP ") area bounded by Atwood
Way to the north, Douglas Street to the east, Nast Street to the west, and Mariposa Avenue to
the south ( "Original Project'). The Original Project was approved with a FAR of 0.99:1.
In 2007, the City Council approved the Edge at Campus project, which allowed 216,000 square
feet of commercial office and retail and an eighty -four unit commercial condominiums pursuant
to Vesting Tentative Map No. 68231 on approximately 14 acres north of Maple Street within the
46.5 -acre site.
On May 4, 2013, CDC Mar Campus, LLC filed applications for an Environmental Assessment
(EA- 1021); Specific Plan Amendment No. SPA 13 -02 to amend certain development standards;
Development Agreement Amendment No. DA 13 -01 to amend certain development standards
specified in Sections 4.5, 4.8 and 6.6 consistent with the amendments under Specific Plan
Amendment No. SPA 13 -02 and to extend the term of the Development Agreement by two
years effective until July 11, 2020; and Subdivision No. SUB 13 -05 (Vesting Tentative Map No.
72287) to create 32 lots for the proposed Corporate Campus Development.
On November 19, 2013, the City Council approved the amendment to the Corporate Campus
Specific Plan which: 1) Amended the CCSP to allow the creation of green -belt lots with 30 -foot
minimum lot frontage; 2) Amended the CCSP to allow 80 -foot minimum frontage for lots abutting
a green -belt lot; 3) Amended the CCSP to allow for the elimination of Campus Square East
(private street) as a street and convert the street to a green -belt lot; 4) Amended the existing
easement along Campus Square East to allow the installation of landscaping; 5) Amended the
CCSP to increase the maximum number of allowable lots from 26 lots to 46 lots and approve
Subdivision No. SUB 13 -05 (Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287) for the subdivision of 32 lots; 6)
Amend the CCSP to allow parking on private streets on Campus Drive, Campus Square West,
and portion of the east side of Parkview Drive South located north of Fire Station No. 2; 7)
Amended the CCSP to allow the conversion of Campus Square West (private street) into a
driveway to be improved with parking along the east side of driveway; 8) Amended the CCSP to
allow shared use of loading spaces with parking spaces during business hours; 9) Amended the
CCSP to allow at -grade patios with 6 -foot high walls, fences, and hedges to encroach into front
yard setbacks; 10) Amended an existing recorded Parking Covenant to allow the relocation of
the required 100 parking spaces for soccer field use within the project site during Phases 2
and /or 3; 11) Amended an existing Development Agreement to be consistent with the
amendments to the CCSP; and 12) Amended the conditions of approval for the original project.
The Addendum to the FEIR, Specific Plan Amendment, Subdivision, and Development
Agreement Amendment allowed for the decrease in the Project development from 2,175,000
square feet for the Original Project to 930,025 square feet (the "Revised Project').
The Revised Project as amended includes existing development of 304,820 square feet plus
new commercial office and retail development of 625,205 square feet (the "Proposed Project')
in 20 buildings on 23.87 acres of land within the 46.5 -acre Corporate Campus Specific Plan site.
The 2013 Revised Project was proposed to be built in 3 Phases and would be subdivided into
32 lots. The Revised Project is below the total trip generation cap that was imposed on the
Original Project.
Phase 1 consists of 217,637 square feet on 12.3 acres (including private streets). Phase 1 is to
be developed with 15 two -story office buildings totaling 203,977 square feet and 13,660 square
feet of retail and restaurant uses under 2 buildings. Phase 1 is to be developed with 732 parking
spaces. The 15 two -story buildings are proposed to be developed with four different floor plans
and each of the two (2) retail buildings would have their own floor plan design. Phase 1 is to be
developed with a 0.40:1 FAR and comprised of 25 lots.
Phase 2 consists of 193,228 square feet under two four -story buildings. One building located
near Maple Avenue (Bldg. 18) is to be 87,500 square feet. The second building (Bldg. 19) is
proposed to be 105,728. Phase 2 provides 634 parking spaces in a 549 space parking structure
and 85 surface parking spaces. The total site area under Phase 2 is 4.4 acres and Phase 2 is to
be developed with a 0.99:1 FAR and subdivided into 4 lots.
Phase 3 consists of a five -story 214,340 square feet of office building (Bldg. 20) and is to be
developed with 748 parking spaces comprised of a 5 -level 549 space parking structure and 199
surface parking spaces. The total site area for Phase 3 is approximately 4.97 acres and
subdivided into 3 lots under Vesting Tentative Map No. 72287 with a FAR of 0.99:1.
On September 2, 2014, LAL Property, LLC filed an application for a further amendment to the
CCSP in order to accommodate a new facility for the Los Angeles Lakers and its affiliates that
would replace the Phase 3 portion of the previously approved amendment to the project. The
submitted applications included Environmental Assessment No. EA -1082; Specific Plan
Amendment No. SPA 14 -02; and Parking Demand Study No. PDS 14 -01 (collectively, the
"Lakers Project "). The submitted application proposes to: 1) Amend CCSP Section V(A) to add
combined offices, athletic training facilities, and exhibition venues for professional sports teams
as proposed by the Lakers Project as a permitted use; 2) Amend CCSP Section V(F)(10) to
allow shared on -site parking through a parking demand study for the Lakers Project as the
exhibition venue will be used only in the evening when the offices and training facility are not in
use; 3) Amend CCSP Section V(1 11)(c) to add athletic training facilities and exhibition venues for
professional sports teams to the list of CCSP non -office uses in determining the minimum and
maximum floor area by use; and 4) Amend CCSP Section V(F)(12) to amend the signage
section of the CCSP to allow: a) one non - projecting roof sign up to 24,300 square feet in size; b)
one 265 square -foot window sign; c) an increase in the total area of signage per building face to
exceed five (5) percent up to a maximum combined twenty seven (27) percent for projecting
wall signs and LED digital signs with individual projecting wall signs up to 2,000 square feet in
size and LED digital signs up to 450 square feet in size; d) allocation of up to 65 percent of the
sign area of the window sign and seven of the projecting wall signs with sponsorship name
and /or logo information; and e) allocation of up to 100 percent of the sign area of the non -
projecting roof sign and the LED digital video.
The proposed Lakers Project proposes to develop offices for the Lakers business and
basketball operations, team training facility with a double basketball court, including an
exhibition court to accommodate up to 750 retractable seats for use with the D- Fenders
basketball games. The proposed project includes the development of a 121,852 square -foot,
two -story building on a 5 -acre site. The first floor will consist of 2 full basketball courts and 2 half
courts, a training area, a team area, loading, storage, an atrium, and an exterior courtyard. The
first floor area will be approximately 73,091 square feet. The 750 retractable seats will be
located on the southern end of the court. Public access during D- Fender games will be provided
I±%
from the three (3) access points on the south end of the building. All D- Fender home games
(25 -30 games per year) will be played in the evenings.
The second floor will consist of 48,761 square feet of office use. The second floor will be
reserved for Lakers' business operations and basketball operations that serve as the Lakers
corporate headquarters, which will consist of a mixture of offices, conference areas, and areas
for employee amenities. The proposed Lakers Project will be developed within the Phase 3 area
of the 2013 Revised Project which was previously approved for the development of a 214,340
square -foot multi -story office use. The Lakers Project will consist of a 121,852 square —foot two -
story building and will be developed with a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 0.53:1, which is below the
0.99:1 FAR approved for the CCSP and the Phase 3 area of the 2013 Revised Project.
The City Council has carefully and independently reviewed and considered all of the evidence in
the record presented in connection with the hearing on the Addendum and proposed approvals,
including, but not limited to, the recommendation of the Planning Commission, and all written
and oral testimony presented. Based thereon, the City Council finds as follows:
I. FINDINGS REQUIRED BY CEQA.
An Addendum was prepared under the authority of Public Resources Code § 21166 and
of 14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000, et seq. (the CEQA Guidelines) at § 15164(a) which allows a
lead agency to prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions
to the previously certified EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions described in § 15162 of
the CEQA Guidelines requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. Section 15162
of the CEQA Guidelines provides that no subsequent EIR need be prepared unless the lead
agency determines on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record one or more
of the following:
"(1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of
the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase n 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 the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects;
(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 certified
as complete, shows any of the following:
(A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous
EIR;
(B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown
in the previous EIR;
(C) 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
3
(D) 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 project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative."
II. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS.
The Statement of Overriding Considerations adopted by the City Council on January 2,
2002, pursuant to Resolution No. 4241 is incorporated by reference. The Statement of
Overriding Considerations remains accurate and applicable to the proposed approvals.
All EIR mitigation measures will remain in effect.
III. COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA
The City Council finds that none of the conditions identified by Public Resources Code §
21166 and CEQA Guidelines § 15162 are present and the Addendum has been
completed in compliance with CEQA.
The City Council makes these findings based on its independent judgment after
reviewing and considering the Addendum and all of the evidence in the record, including
without limitation, the recommendation of the Planning Commission and all written and
oral testimony presented.

evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the
project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and
determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely
supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 7: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the
Project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in
2
evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects
of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project
is the City Council's knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts
have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the
limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and
national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework
within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
SECTION 8: 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 9: Effectiveness of CCSP. Repeal or amendment of any provision of
the CCSP will not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before or
preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring
before this Ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full
force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before
the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 10: Memorialization. The City Clerk is directed to certify the
passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El
Segundo's book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption
in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and
adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with
California law.
SECTION 11: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is
deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that
such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or
applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.
3
SECTION 12: Effective Date. This Ordinance will become effective on the
thirty -first (31 st) day following its passage and adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this _ day of 2015.

Emergency work to repair three dwelling units at the Park Vista Senior Housing Facility due to

Consideration and possible action to adopt a resolution approving the 2015 City of El Segundo
Hazard Mitigation Plan. (Fiscal Impact: None)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Adopt the attached resolution;
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
Resolution with Exhibit A "City of El Segundo Hazard Mitigation Plan January 2015"
FISCAL IMPACT: None
Amount Budgeted: N/A
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s):
PREPARED BY: Denise Davis, Emergency Services Coordinator
REVIEWED BY:
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager.
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
The Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires local governments to develop and submit hazard
mitigation plans as a condition of receiving Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and other mitigation
project grants. Hazard mitigation activities may be implemented prior to, during, or after an event.
However, hazard mitigation is most effective when based on an inclusive, comprehensive, long -term
plan that is developed before a disaster occurs. Plan approval by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) is a prerequisite to receiving federal hazard mitigation grant funds
(See 42 USC § 5165(a)).
The City Council adopted the previous City of El Segundo Hazard Mitigation Plan in 2009. In January
2015, City staff developed a new plan, which was disseminated to City departments, stakeholders
within the City, neighboring cities and agencies, and was placed on the City website for review by
the general public. This review process fulfilled federal regulations governing the planning process,
plan content, and the process for obtaining approval of the plan by FEMA. From the review,
appropriate changes were made to the plan and it has been deemed ready for adoption by the City
Council.
Hazard mitigation is "any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate the long -term risk to human
life and property from hazards" (44 CFR § 201.2). In general, hazard mitigation is work done to
minimize the impact of a hazard event before it occurs. The goal of such mitigation efforts is to reduce
losses from future disasters. The purpose of mitigation planning is for local governments to identify
the hazards that may impact them, identify a plan of actions and activities to reduce losses from those
hazards, and to establish a coordinated process to implement the plan, through the use of the City's
��
resources (44 CFR § 201.1(b)). The City's implementation of mitigation actions, which include long-
term strategies that may involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities, is
the primary objective of the planning process. This type of planning will supplement the City's
comprehensive emergency management program.
The El Segundo Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies and profiles each potential hazard within the City.
The plan provides a description of the type, location and extent of all hazards that can affect the
jurisdiction. The plan also includes information on previous occurrences of hazard events and on the
probability of future hazard events. For example, the highest risk to the City is an earthquake. There
is a 67% probability of a 6.7 magnitude or larger quake occurring in the greater Los Angeles area
within 30 years. If this were to occur, and depending on the location of the fault and the magnitude
of the quake, the City would likely experience significant ground shaking and suffer damage to
buildings. The probability of a hazardous materials incident occurring in any given year is very high,
but these types of incidents are isolated and would not affect the entire city at one time such as with
an earthquake. The next highest risks include transportation incidents and pipeline emergencies and
oil spills. A risk assessment was conducted for the plan that identifies the types and numbers of
existing and future buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities located in the City; an estimate of
the potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures identified in the plan, a description of the
methodology used to prepare the estimate, and a general description of land uses and development
trends within the community so that mitigation options can be considered in future land use decisions.
The Hazard Mitigation Plan includes a mitigation strategy that provides the City's blueprint for
reducing the potential losses identified in the risk assessment, based on existing authorities, policies,
programs, and resources. The hazard mitigation strategy includes mitigation goals, actions, and
projects to reduce or avoid long -term vulnerabilities to the identified hazards. Examples of hazard
mitigation projects are to evaluate City and non -City facilities identified as potential shelter sites for
structural integrity, or develop a public outreach and awareness program about the hazards in El
Segundo and mitigation actions community members can do in their homes. The hazard mitigation
strategy also includes an action plan, describing how the actions identified in the plan will be
prioritized, implemented, and administered by the City through prioritization of actions from the
results of a cost benefit review of the proposed projects. FEMA also requires the plan to address the
City's participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and continued compliance with
NFIP requirements.
Finally the plan must demonstrate it has been reviewed and revised to reflect changes in development,
progress in local mitigation efforts, and changes in priorities of the City. Hazard mitigation plans must
be submitted for approval within five years in order to continue to be eligible for mitigation project
grant funding.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Adoption of the plan is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because
general policy and procedure making of this nature does not constitute a "project" that is subject to
environmental review pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines) Section
15378(b)(2). Moreover, adoption of the plan is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that the action proposed does not have the potential for causing a
significant effect on the environment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommend that the City Council formally adopt the plan. Upon adoption, the El Segundo
Hazard Mitigation Plan will be submitted to the State of California Office of Emergency Services for
its review and, if found to contain the requirements of 44 CFR Parts 201 and 206, be forwarded to
FEMA for a final review and approval.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2015 CITY OF EL SEGUNDO
HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN.
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:
1. The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act of 1988
(Public Law 93 -288), as amended, 42 U.S.C. §5165, and the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §4001 et seq., and Title 44 Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) §201.6 require that local governments develop and
submit hazard mitigation plans to the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as a condition of receiving Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and other Mitigation
project grants;
2. The 2015 El Segundo Hazard Mitigation Plan (the "Plan ") identifies and profiles
each potential hazard that can affect the City, includes information on the
probability of future hazard events, and contains a risk assessment that
distinguishes the critical facilities located in the City by an estimate of the
potential dollar losses to vulnerable structures identified in the Plan;
3. The Plan will define the sustained actions taken to reduce or eliminate the long-
term risk to human life and property from hazards, which set the stage for
successful long -term recovery for the City of El Segundo;
4. The Plan outlines a long -term strategy that includes mitigation actions and
projects, which may involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and
other activities to reduce losses from future disasters;
5. Per 44 CFR §201.6(c)(5), the Plan must be formally adopted by the City Council
to demonstrate the City of El Segundo's commitment to fulfilling the hazard
mitigation goals and actions outlined in the Plan, and to legitimize the Plan and
authorize responsible agencies to execute their responsibilities; and
6. The El Segundo Department Directors, City Attorney, stakeholders and the
general public have reviewed the Hazard Mitigation Plan and all appropriate
edits, recommendations, and organizational changes have been resolved within
the Plan.
SECTION 2: Based on the foregoing findings, the City Council hereby adopts the Plan
"City of El Segundo Hazard Mitigation Plan January 2015" hereto as "Exhibit A ". The
City Council further directs the City Manager or his designee to submit the adopted plan
to the State of California Office of Emergency Services.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. Adoption of this resolution and the 2015 City
of El Segundo Hazard Mitigation Plan are exempt from the California Environmental
Page 1 of 2
Quality Act (CEQA) because general policy and procedure making of this nature does
not constitute a "project" that is subject to environmental review pursuant to 14
California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines) Section 15378(b)(2). Moreover,
adoption of this resolution and the Plan are exempt from CEQA review pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that the action proposed does not have the
potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 4: The City Clerk is directed to certify adoption of this Resolution; record the
Resolution in the book of the City's original resolutions; and make a minute of the
adoption of the Resolution in the City Council's records and minutes of this meeting.
SECTION 5: This Resolution will take effect immediately upon adoption and will remain
in effect unless repealed or superseded.

REVIEWED BY: Debra Brighton, Director of Library Services
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Since the late 1990s, the El Segundo Public Library has relied heavily on Internet service for
staff operations and patron services. In addition to the main catalog system, the library now
allows patrons to access their own library card account information, archived images, The El
Segundo Herald newspaper online, and a system upgrade is soon planned with mobile
applications and Ebook search integration. The library also offers free Internet service for
wireless computers and twenty public Internet station terminals.
Although the connection speeds have remained fairly static, the amount of patrons who have
shifted to electronic formats, such as Ebooks, continues to grow. Most public libraries have
struggled to keep up with providing high speed quality services. This issue has been addressed
recently through a grant from the California State Library (CSL). They have partnered with the
California Library Group ( Califa) and with The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in
California (GENIC) to create a program which allows participating libraries to acquire l OGb
Internet service for a 70% discount. The net cost of this service is $15,970 per year with a five
year term. The participating agencies must pay the full price for the service ($53,235) to the
service provider. CENIC will then reimburse 70% of the cost ($37,265) approximately one year
later.
Staff currently has budgeted $16,000 for Internet and data connection services. The transition to
the new service would greatly increase our service levels, while keeping the costs the same. Staff
recommends authorizing the City Manager to enter into a five year agreement with The
Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) to acquire Internet Service
at a cost of $15,970 per year

REVIEWED BY: Gregg Kovacevich, Assistant City Attorney
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Public Contracting Code: Formal vs. Informal Bidding
The Public Contract Code generally requires general law cities like El Segundo to employ a very
formal and cumbersome competitive bidding process for all public projects valued at over
$5,000. "Public projects" include the construction, reconstruction, erection, alteration,
renovation, improvement, demolition, painting or repainting, and repair of any publicly owned,
leased, or operated facility (Public Contract Code § 22002(c)). The $5,000 threshold was
established decades ago by the California Legislature and has not been adjusted for inflation.
This low threshold often makes it very difficult to secure lower value contracts through the
formal bidding process at reasonable prices because contractors are simply unwilling to expend
the time, money and effort necessary to complete all the required paperwork and meet the
bonding requirements for such small projects. Consequently, it is not uncommon for the City to
receive no response at all to solicitations forbids on these lower value projects.
The Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (UPCCAA; Public Contract Code §
22000, et seq.) was established by the Legislature in 1983 to provide uniform construction cost
accounting procedures and alternative bidding procedures and thresholds that account for
escalating construction costs over time. Agencies can use the informal bidding procedures of the
UPCCAA in lieu of the formal bidding procedures of the Public Contract Code provided they
subscribe to uniform construction cost account policies and procedures developed by the
California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission.
To avail itself of these alternative procedures, a local agency must (1) adopt a resolution electing
to become subject to the UPCCAA and notify the State Controller of said election, and (2) adopt
an ordinance enacting the informal bidding requirements set forth in the UPCCAA. More than
200 cities statewide and nearly half of Los Angeles County general law cities have elected to
adopt the UPCCAA procedures. Currently, under the UPCCAA, public projects of $45,000 or
less may be performed by the employees of a public agency by force account (using its own
staff), by negotiated contract, or by purchase order. Public projects of $175,000 or less may be
let to contract using informal bidding procedures set forth in the Act while public projects of
greater than $175,000 must be formally bid under Public Contracting Code guidelines. These
dollar thresholds are reviewed and increased periodically by the State Legislature based on
inflation. UPCCAA procedures also:
• Prohibit splitting projects into smaller projects to evade provisions of the code;
• Establish notice and advertising requirements for informal bidding of public projects; and
• Establish criteria for the rejection of bids.
On January 17, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4449 declaring its intent to
become subject to the UPCCAA. On the same day, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 1391
adding the informal bidding procedures of the UPCCAA to Chapter 1 -7C (Public Works
Contracts) of the ESMC. However, in both the Resolution and the Ordinance, the Council
elected to make the informal bidding procedures of the UPCCAA applicable only to
"maintenance work"' and other work that falls outside the definition of "public project"
indicated above. Now, in order to allow the City to maximize the efficiency and cost savings
afforded by the UPCCAA, staff recommends that the Council modify its previous election under
the UPCCAA and apply informal bidding requirements to all "public projects" as defined in the
UPCCAA. Staff estimates that in adopting this revised ordinance and signature threshold
(discussed below), a significant number of projects valued under $45,000 could be implemented
up to three months faster than they are under the current required procedures. This would allow
staff tremendous flexibilities to respond/expedite smaller capital construction and repair projects
not currently available to them. Examples of such projects include replacement of boilers and
HVAC unit; plunge equipment repairs; elevator repairs; park fencing replacement; playground
equipment upgrades; repair /replacement of carpets, windows and deteriorated plumbing; exterior
1 "Maintenance work" is defined as "(1) routine, recurring, and usual work for the preservation of protection of
any publicly owned or publicly operated facilities for its intended purposes; (2) minor repainting; (3) resurfacing of
streets and highways at less than one inch; (4) landscape maintenance, including mowing, watering, trimming,
pruning, planting, replacement of plants, and servicing of irrigation and sprinklers systems; and (5) work performed
to keep, operate, and maintain public owned water, power or waste disposal systems, including, but not limited to,
dams, reservoirs, power plants, and electrical transmission lines of 230,000 volts and higher." Pub. Contract Code
§ 22002(d).
building painting; valve replacements; concrete repairs; street depressions and pot holes; pump
stations mechanical repairs; roofing repairs; etc.
Staff further recommends that Chapter 1 -7C be modified to better align the City's internal
procedures with the benefits afforded by the UPCCAA. Recommended modifications include:
• Increase the dollar threshold of the City Manager's contracting authority on public
projects from its current $10,000 level to match the lower threshold identified in the
UPCCAA, currently at $45,000, which would be commensurate with the City's ability to
let /expedite public contracts under the UPCCAA using the negotiated contract and /or
purchase order approach rather than undertaking formal or informal bidding procedures.
For these smaller public projects, increasing the contracting threshold to match the
UPCCAA threshold will also reduce the added delay associated with presenting these
smaller items to Council for prior approval consideration. It is important to note that
expenditures associated with these types of projects will have already been approved as
part of the City's annual budget operating expenditures. If an additional appropriation is
required, the item will be presented to Council for budget and implementation approval.
• Raise the threshold for when a bid security is required for public projects from $30,000 to
match the lower threshold identified in the UPCCAA, currently at $45,000, unless the
City Manager determines that the best interest of the City requires such security for lower
valued projects. Bid securities are most commonly required when there is competitive
bidding with an established bid opening date. It is not typically used for work secured
through spot bidding, negotiated contract and purchase order. Therefore staff
recommends that the threshold be raised to be commensurate with the corresponding
UPCCAA threshold.
To recap, the new thresholds for bidding and awarding contracts for public projects today, and
the corresponding benefits, would be:

Design Immunity
Design Immunity is codified in Government Code §830.6, which sets forth the design immunity
defense for public works projects awarded by the City. That section states:
"Neither a public entity nor a public employee is liable under this chapter for an injury
caused by the plan or design of a construction of, or an improvement to, public property
where such plan or design has been approved in advance of the construction or
improvement by the legislative body of the public entity or by some ether body or
employee exercising discretionary authority to give such approval or where such plan or
design is prepared in conformity with standards previously so approved, if the trial or
appellate court determines that there is any substantial evidence upon the basis of which
(a) a reasonable public employee could have adopted the plan or design or the standards
therefore or (b) a reasonable legislative body or other body or employee could have
approved the plan or design or the standards therefore. (Emphasis added).
In order to trigger the design immunity defense, either City Council or a designated staff person
must approve the plans and /or designs prior to construction. Currently, City Council fills this
role by approving a plan/design immunity resolution at the same time it authorizes the staff to
advertise the project for bidding. However, such approval could also be granted at the time a
project is awarded, or delegated to the Public Works Director in specified circumstances.
Under the proposed ordinance, public projects of $45,000 or less may be authorized and
approved without Council action. Therefore, in order to ensure that the design immunity
afforded by section 830.6 attaches to those smaller projects, staff is also recommending that the
ordinance authorize the Public Works Director to approve plans and designs for those smaller
public projects. In the absence of such a delegation, staff would be required to bring every minor
public project (below $45,000) to the Council for design approval, resulting in unnecessary delay
and frustrating a core purpose of the UPCCAA election (improving efficiency). As the official
charged with overseeing all public works in the City and as a licensed Professional Engineer, the
Public Works Director is qualified to exercise discretionary authority over the approval of plans
and designs for public projects.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution declaring its intention to become subject to the UPCCAA
for public projects as defined in Public Contract Code § 22002(c);
2. Approve the recommended threshold increases for awarding projects and requiring bid
securities; and
3. Authorize the Public Works Director to approve plans and designs for projects valued at
under $45,000.
A draft ordinance with these recommended changes is attached. With respect to the ordinance,
only minor amendments to Chapter 1 -7C are required to make all eligible public projects subject
to the informal bidding requirements. Approval of these recommendations will allow staff to
carry out smaller projects much more quickly, which in turn will allow us to dedicate more resources to
our larger capital projects. We also believe it will ultimately result in cost savings to the city due to
reduced time and expense a contractor will need to invest to prepare a bid response and provide the
corresponding bid bond.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL
SEGUNDO ELECTING TO BECOME SUBJECT TO THE UNIFORM
PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION COST ACCOUNTING ACT
The City Council of the city of El Segundo resolves as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council finds as follows:
A. Pursuant to Public Contract Code § 20160, et seq., general law cities in
California must generally competitively bid all public projects in excess of
$5,000 in accordance with state - mandated formal bidding procedures.
B. In 1983, the California Legislature adopted the Uniform Public Contract
Cost Accounting Act ( "UPCCAA," codified at Public Contract Code §§
22000, et seq.) to provide for a uniform cost accounting standard for
construction work performed or contracted by local agencies and further
providing an alternative method for bidding and awarding contracts for
public projects.
C. Public Contract Code § 22030 provides that any city that desires to utilize
the alternative procedures for bidding and contracting for public projects
must elect, by resolution, to become subject to the uniform construction
cost accounting procedures set forth in the Act and must notify the State
Controller of its election.
D. The City desires to become subject to the uniform construction cost
accounting procedures set forth in Public Contract Code §§ 22000, et seq.

become subject to the uniform construction cost accounting procedures to
adopt an informal bidding ordinance that complies with the requirements
of the UPCCAA.
F. The City has adopted an ordinance enacting informal bidding procedures
consistent with the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act.
SECTION 2. The City Council of the City of El Segundo elects under Public Contract
Code § 22030 to become subject to the uniform construction accounting procedures set

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE
CHAPTER 1 -7C REGARDING INFORMAL BIDDING OF PUBLIC
WORKS PROJECTS.
The City Council of the city of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and determines as follows:
A. On January 17, 2006, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4449
wherein the City elected to become subject to the Uniform Public
Construction Cost Accounting Act (Public Contract Code §§ 22000, et
seq.) for purposes of contracting "maintenance work" as defined in Public
Contract Code § 22002(d).
B. By Resolution No. adopted April 7, 2015, the City Council elected
to become subject to the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act
for purposes of all "public projects" as defined therein.
C. The City would like to take advantage of the informal bidding procedures
set forth in the Act as they apply to "public projects" as defined in Public
Contract Code § 22002(c).
D. It is in the public interest to make the informal bidding procedures
applicable to public projects to ensure faster processing time, greater
efficiency, and maximum cost savings in the letting of public works
contracts.
E. In the interests of efficiency and ensuring quicker procurement time for
smaller public works projects and related contracts, it is necessary to
increase the City Manager's discretionary authority to solicit bids and
award contracts without prior City Council approval.
F. In the interest of ensuring efficiency and maximum cost savings for
smaller public works projects, it is necessary to raise the cost threshold for
requiring bid security in conjunction with such projects while still
preserving the city manager's discretion to require bid security whenever
the director believes such security is needed to protect the City's interests.
SECTION 2: El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") § 1 -7C -3 is amended to read as
follows:
"1 -7C -3: DEFINTIONS:

SECTION 3: ESMC § 1 -7C -4 is amended to read as follows:
"1 -7C -4: SOLICITING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACTS:
The city manager may solicit bids, award contracts, and execute contracts
for public projects up to forty -five thousand dollars ($45,000). Contracts
for public projects costing more than forty -five thousand dollars ($45,000)
must be awarded by the city council."
SECTION 4: ESMC § 1 -7C -7 is amended to read as follows:
"1 -7C -7: BID SECURITY:
A. Bid security is required for all bids on public projects when the city
manager estimates that the price will exceed forty -five thousand dollars
($45,000). Bid security may be a bond issued by a licensed and duly
qualified corporate surety, or the equivalent in cash, money order,
cashier's check, certified check, unconditional letter of credit, or other form
approved by the city attorney. Nothing in this section prevents the city
from requiring bid security on public projects of forty -five thousand dollars
($45,000) or less when the city manager believes such security is needed
to protect the city's interests.
B. Bid security must equal at least ten percent (10 %) of the bid
amount.
C. If the notice inviting bids requires a bid security, noncompliance or
defective, inadequate, or incomplete security will render the bid
nonresponsive.
D. Bid security will be forfeited or paid to the city should the bidder fail
to execute a contract within the time specified in the notice inviting bids."
SECTION 5: Section 1 -7C -11 is hereby added to Chapter 1 -7C of the ESMC to
read as follows:
"1- 7C -11: DESIGN APPROVAL:
The Public Works Director is authorized to approve designs for purposes
of design immunity pursuant to Government Code section 830.6. Nothing
Page 2 of 4
in this Section is intended to, nor will it, preclude the City Council from
separately or additionally approving designs for purposes of design
immunity pursuant to Government Code section 830.6."
SECTION 6: Environmental Review. This ordinance is exempt from additional
environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public
Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA ") and CEQA regulations (14 California Code
of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because it establishes rules and procedures to permit
operation of existing facilities; consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to
existing regulations and specification of procedures related thereto; and consists of
actions taken to assure the maintenance, protection and enhancement of the
environment. This ordinance, therefore, does not have the potential to cause significant
effects on the environment. Consequently, it is categorically exempt from further CEQA
review under 14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15301, 15305, and 15308.
SECTION 7: Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed in order to
achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council's intent that the
provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a
manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.
SECTION 8: Enforceability. Repeal of any provision of the ESMC does not affect any
penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of
penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance's effective date. Any such
repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting
violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 9: Validity of Previous Code Sections. If this entire Ordinance or its
application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal or
amendment of the ESMC or other city ordinance by this Ordinance will be rendered void
and cause such previous ESMC provision or other the city ordinance to remain in full
force and effect for all purposes.
SECTION 10: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity
will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this
end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 11: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this
Ordinance, cause it to be entered into the city of El Segundo's book or original
ordinances, make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting,
and, within fifteen days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be
published or posted in accordance with California law.
SECTION 12: This Ordinance will take effect on the 31St day following its final passage
and adoption.

BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
Assembly Bill 306 will ensure active duty military members, including activated military reservists, may
choose which public school district to send their children to regardless of the school district in which
they reside. Since our military service personnel are required to live near or on base and ate subject to
frequent moves, it is important for military parents to have the right to choose which school district their
children attend. Members of the U.S. military are often deployed and are given few options where to live.
School districts with the ability to serve more students are often happy to accept school transfers like
military children; however the school district of residence maintain veto power over those transfers.
Military members do not have the luxury of time to appeal the denial to transfer, nor do they always have
the ability to move into another district.
AB 306 will allow parents who are active duty members of the U. S. military the ability to choose which
public school districts they would like their children to attend and will remove the ability for the school
districts of origin to unfairly deny such transfer requests.

ASSEMBLY BILL 306: SCHOOL DISTRICT TRANSFERS FOR ACTIVE DUTY
MILITARY FAMILIES
SUMMARY
Assembly Bill 306 will ensure active duty
military members, including activated
military reservists, may choose which public
school districts to send their children to
regardless of the school district in which
they reside.
Since our military service personnel are
required to live near or on base and are
subject to frequent moves, it is important for
military parents to have the right to choose
which school districts their children attend.
ISSUE BACKGROUND
Members of the U.S. military are often
deployed and are given few options where
to live. Due to the frequency and short
notice with which parents can be re-
deployed, active duty military parents
should have the right to choose which
school districts they believe will provide the
best educational opportunities for their
children.
School districts with the ability to serve
more students are often happy to accept
school transfers like military children;
however the school district of residence
maintains veto power over those transfers.
Military members do not have the luxury of
time to appeal the denial of transfer, nor do
they always have the ability to move into
another district.
SOLUTION
AB 306 will allow parents who are active
duty members of the U.S. military the ability
to choose which public school districts they
would like their children to attend and will
remove the ability for the school districts of
origin to unfairly deny such transfer
requests.
AUTHOR'S STATEMENT
"Children of military families already face
the realities of adjusting to new schools
each time their families are re- stationed. We
should help America's service families
access the right public schools for their kids
while they are here, while at the same time
make California's military bases attractive to
the military and our country's servicemen
and women." Assemblyman David Hadley.
SUPPORT
None on file.
OPPOSITION
None on file.
