Assembly Bill No. 1164 FISCAL IMPACT: None Amount Budgeted: $0 Additional Appropriation: N/A Account Number(s): N/A ORIGINATED BY: Kimberly Christensen, AICP, Planning Manager REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Director of Planning z i d Building Safet APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On April 1, 2015, Governor Brown issued an Executive Order that aimed to curtail water consumption due to California's worst drought on record. In response to the Executive Order, the State Water Resources Control Board approved specific emergency regulations that cities were required to implement to reduce urban water consumption. In July 2015, the City Council IL 14 responded by adopting an urgency and non - urgency ordinance amending the City's water conservation ordinance, establishing general water use restrictions. The Executive Order also directed the California Department of Water Resources ( "DWR ') to update the State's Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Model Ordinance), which, as its name suggests, is focused on water conservation in landscaping. The California Water Commission approved the revised Model Ordinance on July 15, 2015 and local agencies have until December 1, 2015 to adopt the Model Ordinance or adopt their own ordinance, which must be at least as effective in conserving water. If the City does not adopt either the Model Ordinance or their own ordinance, the model ordinance goes into effect by default and the City may adopt an ordinance at a later date. In addition, on October 9, 2015, Governor Brown signed into law Assembly Bill No. AB 1164 (regarding water conservation and drought tolerant landscaping), which imposes limits on cities' ability to restrict the use of drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, or artificial turf on residential property. Local agencies are allowed to restrict the type and quality of the artificial turf or synthetic grass. In response to recent State actions, and the Planning Commission's recommendation, staff has prepared a draft Ordinance (Exhibit 3) which will substantially revise the City's existing water conservation in landscaping regulations in compliance with State law (per Assembly Bill 1164). It is the intent of this draft Ordinance to closely mirror the State's revised Model Ordinance provisions in new ESMC Chapter 15 -15A and amend certain sections of Title 15 to: a) clarify that drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, and artificial turf are acceptable forms of landscaping, and b) includes reasonable restrictions on their use. The proposed new ESMC Chapter 15 -15A includes the following provisions: 1. Applicability. The threshold for new projects subject to the water conservation regulations is 500 square feet. The previous threshold was 2,500 square feet. However, this threshold now applies to all residential projects. 2. Landscaping Design Requirements. a. Residential and nonresidential projects are required to reduce the total landscaping area containing "high water use plants." b. The maximum amount of water that can be applied to a landscaped area for residential and nonresidential projects has been reduced. 3. Irrigation Design Requirements. a. The threshold for requiring the use of dedicated water meters for nonresidential projects is 1,000 square feet of landscaped area (previously 5,000 square feet). The threshold for residential projects will remain at 5,000 square feet. b. Irrigation systems are required to have pressure regulators and master shut -off valves. c. All irrigation emission devices must meet the national standard stated in the Model Ordinance to ensure that only high efficiency sprinklers are installed. 2 15 d. Flow sensors that detect and report high flow conditions due to broken pipes and /or popped sprinkler heads are required for landscape areas greater than 5,000 square feet. e. The minimum width of areas that can be overhead irrigated has changed from 8 feet to 10 feet; areas less than 10 feet wide must be irrigated with subsurface drip or other technology that produces no over spray or runoff. 4. Incentives for Graywater Usage. Landscapes under 2,500 square feet that are irrigated entirely with graywater or captured rainwater are subject only to the irrigation system requirements of Appendix D of the revised Model Ordinance (Prescriptive Compliance Option). Appendix D includes a set of basic limited requirements that projects using reclaimed water can follow, instead of the full range of requirements in the revised Model Ordinance. Reporting Requirements. In addition to the existing compliance verification provisions, local agencies are required to submit yearly reports to the State, including, without limitation, the number and types of projects reviewed, the total landscaping area affected, the procedure for review of projects, and the verification and enforcement methods. The proposed amendments to Title 15 include the following: New /revised definitions for "artificial turf or synthetic grass," "softscape," "hardscape," and "xeriscaping" in ESMC § 15 -1 -6 (Definitions). The new softscape definition will incorporate artificial plants, synthetic grass, and artificial turf, in addition to living plant material. The new hardscape definition will incorporate examples of acceptable hardscape material to help clarify the distinction between softscape and hardscape. The new xeriscaping definition describes an alternative landscaping method that does not use water for irrigation purposes. 2. ESMC § 15 -2 -14 (Landscaping), which contains the City's minimum landscaping requirements for all non - residential zoning districts (includes property perimeter, building perimeter, and vehicle use area (VUA) requirements, and minimum plant material sizes) will be amended to refer to the proposed new ESMC Chapter 15 -15A (Water Conservation in Landscaping). 3. The landscaping provisions in all Zoning districts will be updated to require compliance with the proposed new ESMC Chapter 15 -15A (Water Conservation in Landscaping). 4. Prohibits the use of artificial turf or synthetic grass for non - residential properties. 5. Allows the use of artificial turf and synthetic grass for residential properties subject to certain criteria and review by the Director of Planning and Building Safety. The criteria for approval would ensure that: a) the type and quality of material used is not harmful to the environment (such as containing lead based or other hazardous materials); b) it includes a pervious surface to address percolation, drainage, runoff, and stormwater retention 3 16 requirements; and c) it is incorporated into a comprehensive landscaping design and site planning. 6. Miscellaneous amendments to ensure consistency among all affected ESMC Sections and minor language clarifications. PLANNING COMMISSION DISCUSSION: On November 12, 2015 the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing at which staff presented its recommendation for the Water Conservation in Landscaping regulations. At the meeting the Planning Commission recommended the draft Ordinance be revised to: 1) allow the use of "Artificial Turf' or "Synthetic Grass" in all residential zoning districts; and 2) provide first time violators of the new proposed provisions a warning before issuing a citation. The Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2785 recommending that the City Council approve Environmental Assessment No. EA -1132 and Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 15 -01 regarding the draft Water Conservation in Landscaping Ordinance as revised. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15307 as a Class 7 exemption (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources), because the Ordinance consists of an action taken by the City to assure maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of water resources in the City, and § 15308 as a Class 8 exemption (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for the Protection of the Environment) because the Ordinance consists of regulations and procedures which aim to protect the environment. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt an Urgency Ordinance to establish regulations and a review procedure to ensure Water Conservation in Landscaping by the State's December 1, 2015 deadline. Pursuant to State law, urgency ordinances require a four -fifths vote of the City Council and, if approved, the ordinance would go into effect immediately. Additionally, Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the same ordinance as a non - urgency ordinance. If introduced by the City Council, the non - urgency ordinance would be scheduled for second reading and adoption at the December 15, 2015 City Council meeting.

Assembly Bill No. 1164 ORIGINATED BY: Maria Baldenegro, Assistant Planner 0 REVIEWED BY: Kimberly Christensen, AICP, Planning Manager APPROVED BY: Sam Lee, Director of Planning and Building Safety INTRODUCTION: Governor Brown's Executive Order of April 1, 2015 directed the California Department of Water Resources to update the State's Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (Model Ordinance). The California Water Commission approved the revised Model Ordinance on July 15, 2015 and local agencies have until December 1, 2015 to adopt the Model Ordinance or adopt their own ordinance, which must be at least as effective in conserving water. If the City does not adopt either the Model Ordinance or their own ordinance, the model ordinance goes into effect by default and the City may adopt an ordinance at a later date. iU l In addition, on October 9, 2015, Governor Brown signed into law Assembly Bill No. AB 1164 (regarding water conservation and drought tolerant landscaping), which imposes limits on cities' ability to restrict the use of drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, or artificial turf on residential property. Staff has prepared a draft Ordinance (Exhibit 2) to incorporate the Model Ordinance into a new Chapter 15 -15A of the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC). The new Chapter will replace ESMC Chapter 10 -2, which contains the City's current water conservation in landscaping regulations. In addition, the draft City Council Ordinance will amend various ESMC Sections related to landscaping requirements and the use of drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, or artificial turf. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: I. Background In 2006, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill 1881 (The Water Conservation in Landscaping Act of 2006). This Act included a Model Ordinance the intent of which was to promote water efficient landscape design concepts, efficient water landscape irrigation systems, low water consumption plant species for the City's local climate, preventive erosion measures specifically for the local soil conditions, and use of a landscape maintenance schedule. Local agencies were required to either: a) adopt the State Model Ordinance; or b) adopt regulations at least as effective as the State's Model Ordinance. The City of El Segundo did not adopt the State's Model Ordinance at that time. The City elected to approve similar rules that were deemed to be at least as effective as the State's Model Ordinance. On December 15, 2009, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1437, which amended ESMC Chapter 10 -2 in its entirety and put into effect new water conservation in landscaping regulations for El Segundo. On July 15, 2015, the California Water Commission approved a revised Model Ordinance. Additionally, Assembly Bill 1164 prohibits agencies from effectively prohibiting the use of artificial turf, synthetic grass and drought tolerant landscaping at residential properties. However, the legislation does allow agencies to include reasonable restrictions on their use such as the type and quality of product used or the amount of area covered by the artificial turf or synthetic grass. II. Discussion The proposed draft Ordinance currently under consideration will replace and substantially revise the City's water conservation in landscaping regulations in compliance with State law (per Assembly Bill 1164). It is the intent of this draft Ordinance to closely mirror the State's revised Model Ordinance provisions, while also tailoring the Ordinance to El Segundo. In addition to incorporating the State's revised Model Ordinance provisions, the proposed draft Ordinance: a) clarifies that drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, and artificial turf are acceptable forms of landscaping, and b) includes reasonable restrictions on their use. 2 19 As noted above, cities have until December 1, 2015 to adopt the Model Ordinance or adopt their own ordinance. If the Planning Commission does not recommend, or if the City Council does not adopt, the proposed Ordinance, the model ordinance would go into effect by default and the City may adopt an ordinance at a later date. A. Current Water Conservation in Landscaping Regulations. The following is a summary of ESMC Chapter 10 -2 regulations. 1. Applicability. The regulations in ESMC Chapter 10 -2 apply to: a) New industrial, commercial, office and institutional developments; to public and private parks and other public recreational areas; to multi - family (3 or more units) residential and planned unit development common areas; to model home complexes; and to city road medians and corridors; and b) Rehabilitated landscape areas greater or equal to 2,500 square feet. 2. Non - applicability. ESMC Chapter 10 -2 does not apply to: a. Cemeteries. b. Registered historical sites. c. Ecological restoration projects that do not require a permanent irrigation system. d. Mined land reclamation projects that do not require a permanent irrigation system. e. Any project with a landscaped area less than two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet, unless the director of recreation and parks determines that substantial compliance with the purpose of this chapter requires that a landscape plan be submitted. f. Any project or planting area that utilizes one hundred percent (100 %) reclaimed water. 3. Exemptions. The City Manager or designee may authorize exemptions to any of the design and improvement standards ESMC Chapter 10 -2. Such exemptions may be granted if the City Manager, or designee, finds that the proposed design or improvement is in substantial compliance with the purpose and intent of this chapter. 4. Permit Requirement. For applicable projects, applicants must submit a landscape documentation package prepared by a licensed professional for review and approval. The Licensed Professional must certify that the landscaping design and irrigation complies with the State Model Ordinance requirements and the City's landscaping design and irrigation requirements. 5. Landscaping Design Requirements. These requirements include, without limitation, the selection of plant species, their placement and orientation, and limits on the use of lawns and turf. The overall goal of the landscaping design requirements is to limit the use of water for landscaping purposes based on a maximum water allowance budget. That budget is based on the area of landscaping and the reference evapotranspiration (ETo). ETo refers to the rate at which water in the soil (or water bodies) evaporates added to the rate at which 91 1J _ 20 water transpires from plants into the lower atmosphere. Currently, the maximum amount of water that can be applied to a landscaped area is 70% of the ETo. 6. Irrigation Design Requirements. These requirements include, without limitation, the use of recycled water where available, the use of dedicated water meters on larger areas (5,000 square feet), avoiding overspray and runoff onto paved areas, use of rain sensors and automatic sprinkler timers, and maximum limits on the amount of water used depending on the landscape area. 7. Verification of Compliance. Verification of compliance includes two steps: a. Inspection by staff and issuance of a Certificate of Completion, and b. An irrigation audit by an independent third parry to confirm that the irrigation system performs as designed 8. ESMC Chapter 10 -2 also includes special provisions regarding water features, landscape maintenance and model home landscaping. B. Proposed dilater Conservation in Landscaping Regulations. The State's Revised Model Ordinance and proposed ESMC Chapter 15 -15A include, without limitation, the following revised and/or additional provisions: 1. Applicability. The threshold for new projects subject to the water conservation regulations is 500 square feet. The previous threshold was 2,500 square feet. However, this threshold now applies to all residential projects. 2. Landscaping Design Requirements a. For residential projects, the coverage of high water use plants is reduced from 33% to 25% of the landscaped area. b. The maximum amount of water that can be applied to a landscaped area is reduced from 70% of the ETo to 55% for residential projects, and to 45% of ETo for non- residential projects. This makes it practically infeasible to use high water use plants in non - residential projects. 3. Irrigation Design Requirements. a. The threshold for requiring the use of dedicated water meters for nonresidential projects is 1,000 square feet of landscaped area (previously 5,000 square feet). The threshold for residential projects will remain at 5,000 square feet. b. Irrigation systems are required to have pressure regulators and master shut -off valves. c. All irrigation emission devices must meet the national standard stated in the Model Ordinance to ensure that only high efficiency sprinklers are installed. 4 I .. 1J — - 21 1 d. Flow sensors that detect and report high flow conditions due to broken pipes and/or popped sprinkler heads are required for landscape areas greater than 5,000 square feet. e. The minimum width of areas that can be overhead irrigated has changed from 8 feet to 10 feet; areas less than 10 feet wide must be irrigated with subsurface drip or other technology that produces no over spray or runoff. 4. Incentives for Graywater usage. Landscapes under 2,500 square feet that are irrigated entirely with graywater or captured rainwater are subject only to the irrigation system requirements of Appendix D of the revised Model Ordinance (Prescriptive Compliance Option). Appendix D includes a set of basic limited requirements that projects using reclaimed water can follow, instead of the full range of requirements in the revised Model Ordinance. 5. Reporting Requirements. In addition to the existing compliance verification provisions, local agencies are required to submit yearly reports to the State, including, without limitation, the number and types of projects reviewed, the total landscaping area affected, the procedure for review of projects, and the verification and enforcement methods. C. Proposed Drought Tolerant Landscaping Regulations. In addition to the proposed new ESMC Chapter 15 -15A, the proposed draft Ordinance will amend several sections of ESMC Title 15. The amendments to Title 15 will include, without limitation, the following revised and/or additional provisions: 1. New /revised definitions for "artificial turf or synthetic grass," "softscape," "hardscape," and "xeriscaping" in ESMC § 15 -1 -6 (Definitions). The new softscape definition will incorporate artificial plants, synthetic grass, and artificial turf, in addition to living plant material. The new hardscape definition will incorporate examples of acceptable hardscape material to help clarify the distinction between softscape and hardscape. The new xeriscaping definition describes an alternative landscaping method that does not use water for irrigation purposes. 2. ESMC § 15 -2 -14 (Landscaping), which contains the City's minimum landscaping requirements for all non - residential zoning districts (includes property perimeter, building perimeter, and vehicle use areas (VUA's) requirements, and minimum plant material sizes) will be amended to refer to the proposed new ESMC Chapter 15 -15A (Water Conservation in Landscaping). 3. The landscaping provisions in the City's residential zones will be standardized to provide consistency in residential landscaping requirements. 4. The landscaping provisions in all Zoning districts will be updated to refer to compliance with the proposed new ESMC Chapter 15 -15A (Water Conservation in Landscaping) in addition to the existing reference to comply with the requirements in ESMC § 15 -2 -14. 3 22 5. Provide limitations on the amount of area covered by artificial turf or synthetic grass for residential properties and to prohibit its use for non - residential properties; provide an Adjustment process per ESMC Chapter 15 -24 to allow the Planning and Building Safety Director to grant approval to increase the amount of area covered by artificial turf or synthetic grass for residential properties and to allow the use of artificial turf or synthetic grass for non - residential properties subject to review and approval. The criteria for approval would ensure that the type and quality of material used is not harmful to the environment (such as containing lead based or other hazardous materials) and includes a pervious surface to address percolation, drainage, runoff, and stormwater detention requirements, and is incorporated into a comprehensive landscaping design and site planning. These requirements would be consistent with the reasonable restrictions provisions pursuant to Assembly Bill 1164. 6. Miscellaneous amendments to ensure consistency among all affected ESMC Sections and minor language clarifications. D. General Plan Consistency. The proposed amendments to ESMC are consistent with the General Plan Goals, Policies, and Objectives as specified in draft Resolution No. 2785 (Exhibit 1). III. Environmental Review The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15307 as a Class 7 exemption (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources), because the Ordinance consists of an action taken by the City to assure maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of water resources in the City, and § 15308 as a Class 8 exemption (Actions by Regulatory Agencies for the Protection of the Environment) because the Ordinance consists of regulations and procedures which aim to protect the environment. IV. Recommendation Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission review the facts as contained within this report and adopt Resolution No. 2785 recommending that City Council approve Environmental Assessment No. EA -1132 and Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 15 -01 regarding a draft Water Conservation in Landscaping Ordinance.

The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the ordinance set forth in attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated into this resolution by reference. SECTION 7: Reliance On Record. Each and every one of the findings and determination in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Planning Commission in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole. SECTION 8: Limitations. The Planning Commission's analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the Planning Commission's lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the city's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework. SECTION 9: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent resolution. 4 27 SECTION 10: The Commission secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to any person requesting a copy. SECTION 11: This Resolution may be appealed within ten (10) calendar days after its adoption. All appeals must be in writing and filed with the City Clerk within this time period. Failure to file a timely written appeal will constitute a waiver of any right of appeal. PASSED AND ADOPTED this 12th day of November 2015. ATTEST: Sam Lee, Secretary APPROVED AS TO FORM: Mark D.

Static water pressure, dynamic or operating pressure and flow reading of the water supply must be measured at the point of connection. These pressure and flow measurements must be conducted at the design stage. If the measurements are not available at the design stage, the measurements must be conducted at installation. 6. Sensors (rain, freeze, wind, etc.), either integral or auxiliary, that suspend or alter irrigation operation during unfavorable weather conditions must be required on all irrigation systems, as appropriate for local climatic conditions. Irrigation should be avoided during windy or freezing weather or during rain. 7. Manual shut -off valves (such as a gate valve, ball valve, or butterfly valve) must be required, as close as possible to the point of connection of the water supply, to minimize water loss in case of an emergency (such as a main line break) or routine repair. 8. Backflow prevention devices must be required to protect the water supply from contamination by the irrigation system.

On October 9, 2015, Governor Brown signed into law Assembly Bill No. AB 1164, regarding water conservation and drought tolerant landscaping; D. On October 5, 2015, City staff initiated an application for Environmental Assessment No. EA -1132 and Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 15 -01 to the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") to amend the City's Water Conservation in Landscaping regulations; E. The application was reviewed by the City's Planning and Building Safety Department for, in part, consistency with the General Plan and conformity with the ESMC; F. The City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA ") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted March 16, 1993); G. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review and scheduled the public hearing regarding the application before the Planning Commission for November 12, 2015; Page 1 67 H. On November 12, 2015, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the proposed amendment, including, without limitation, information provided to the Planning Commission by City staff and public testimony; On November 12, 2015, the Planning Commission directed staff to revise the draft ordinance to allow the use of "Artificial Turf" or "Synthetic Grass" in all residential zoning districts for landscaping projects with no maximum area limitations, without the requirement of an Adjustment application approval, and to provide first time violators of the new proposed provisions a written warning before issuing a citation. After considering the public testimony, documentary evidence, and incorporating the recommendations made by the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2785 recommending the City Council approve Environmental Assessment No. EA -1132 and Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 15 -01; J. On December 1, 2015, the City Council held a public hearing and considered the information provided by City staff and public testimony regarding this Ordinance; K. This Ordinance and its findings are made based upon the entire administrative record including, without limitation, testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at its December 1, 2015 hearing and the staff report submitted by the Planning and Building Safety Department; and L. In accordance with Government Code § 36937(b), the City Council finds that this Ordinance should be adopted on an urgency basis to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare.

Typically, most plants are established after one or two years of growth. Native habitat mitigation areas and trees may need three to five years for establishment. ESTIMATED TOTAL WATER USE (ETWU): The total water used for the landscape. The ETWU is calculated based on the plants used and irrigation method selected for the landscape design. The ETWU must be below the MAWA. "ET" ADJUSTMENT FACTOR (ETAF): A factor of 0.55 for residential areas and 0.45 for non- residential areas, that, when applied to reference evapotranspiration, adjusts for plant factors and irrigation efficiency, two major influences upon the amount of water that needs to be applied to the landscape. The ETAF for new and existing (non - rehabilitated) Special Landscape Areas must not exceed 1.0. The ETAF for existing non - rehabilitated landscapes is 0.8. EVAPOTRANSPIRATION RATE: The quantity of water evaporated from adjacent soil and other surfaces and transpired by plants during a specified time.

Methods to achieve water efficiency must include one or more of the following: a. use the Sunset Western Climate Zone System which takes into account temperature, humidity, elevation, terrain, latitude, and varying degrees of continental and marine influence on local climate; b. recognize the horticultural attributes of plants (i.e., mature plant size, invasive surface roots) to minimize damage to property or infrastructure (e.g., buildings, sidewalks, power lines); allow for adequate soil volume for healthy root growth and c. consider the solar orientation for plant placement to maximize summer shade and winter solar gain. d. where possible, landscaping should be installed in the fall, in order to establish plant materials when they will benefit most from winter rains. e. the use of invasive plant species, such as those listed by the California Invasive Plant Council, is strongly discouraged. 4. Turf: Turf is not allowed on slopes greater than twenty five percent (25 %) where the toe of the slope is adjacent to an impermeable Hardscape and where twenty five percent (25 %) means one foot (1') of vertical elevation change for every four feet (4') of horizontal length (rise divided by run x 100 = slope percent). 5. High Water Use Plants: The planting of high water use plants is limited to nonturf landscape area. The remaining landscape must be planted with low and moderate water use plant materials. High water use plants, characterized by a plant factor of 0.7 to 1.0, are prohibited in street medians. 6. A landscape design plan for projects in fire -prone areas must address fire safety and prevention. A defensible space or zone around a building or structure is required per Public Resources Code Section 4291(a) and (b).

If the static pressure is above or below the required dynamic pressure of the irrigation Page 22 system, pressure - regulating devices such as inline pressure regulators, booster pumps, or other devices must be installed to meet the required dynamic pressure of the irrigation system. 5. Static water pressure, dynamic or operating pressure and flow reading of the water supply must be measured at the point of connection. These pressure and flow measurements must be conducted at the design stage. If the measurements are not available at the design stage, the measurements must be conducted at installation. 6. Sensors (rain, freeze, wind, etc.), either integral or auxiliary, that suspend or alter irrigation operation during unfavorable weather conditions must be required on all irrigation systems, as appropriate for local climatic conditions. Irrigation should be avoided during windy or freezing weather or during rain. 7. Manual shut -off valves (such as a gate valve, ball valve, or butterfly valve) must be required, as close as possible to the point of connection of the water supply, to minimize water loss in case of an emergency (such as a main line break) or routine repair. 8. Backflow prevention devices must be required to protect the water supply from contamination by the irrigation system. A project applicant must refer to the applicable local agency code (i.e., public health) for additional backflow prevention requirements. 9. Flow sensors that detect high flow conditions created by system damage or malfunction are required for all on non - residential landscapes and residential landscapes of 5,000 sq. ft. or larger. 10. Master shut -off valves are required on all projects except landscapes that make use of technologies that allow for the individual control of sprinklers that are individually pressurized in a system equipped with low pressure shut down features. 11.The irrigation system must be designed to prevent runoff, low head drainage, overspray, or other similar conditions where irrigation water flows onto non - targeted areas, such as adjacent property, non - irrigated areas, Hardscapes, roadways, or structures. 12.

It is highly recommended that the project applicant or local agency inquire with the local water purveyor about peak water operating demands (on the water supply system) or water restrictions that may impact the effectiveness of the irrigation system. 17. In mulched planting areas, the use of low volume irrigation is required to maximize water infiltration into the root zone. Page 23 WE 18. Sprinkler heads and other emission devices must have matched precipitation rates, unless otherwise directed by the manufacturer's recommendations. 19. Head to head coverage is recommended, however, sprinkler spacing must be designed to achieve the highest possible distribution uniformity using the manufacturer's recommendations. 20.

Overhead irrigation must not be permitted within (24) inches of any non - permeable surface. Allowable irrigation within the setback from non - permeable surfaces may include drip, drip line, or other low flow non -spray technology. The setback area may be planted or unplanted. The surfacing of the setback may be mulch, gravel, or other porous material. These restrictions may be modified if: a) the landscape area is adjacent to permeable surfacing and no runoff occurs; or the adjacent non - permeable surfaces are designed and constructed to drain entirely to landscaping; or b) the irrigation designer specifies an alternative design or technology, as part of the Landscape Documentation Package and clearly demonstrates strict adherence to irrigation system design criteria in ESMC § 15- 15A- 5(E)(11). Prevention of overspray and runoff must be confirmed during the irrigation audit. 24. Slopes greater than 25% must not be irrigated with an irrigation system with an application rate exceeding 0.75 inches per hour. This restriction may be modified if the landscape designer specifies an alternative design or technology, as part of the Landscape Documentation Package, and clearly demonstrates no runoff or erosion will occur. Prevention of runoff and erosion must be confirmed during the irrigation audit. Hydrozone Criteria: 25. Each valve must irrigate a hydrozone with similar site, slope, sun exposure, soil conditions, and plant materials with similar water use. 26. Sprinkler heads and other emission devices must be selected based on what is appropriate for the plant type within that hydrozone. 27. Where feasible, trees must be placed on separate valves from shrubs, groundcovers, and turf to facilitate the appropriate irrigation of trees. The mature size and extent of the root zone must be considered when designing irrigation for the tree. 28. Individual hydrozones that mix plants of moderate and low water use, or moderate and high water use, may be allowed if: a) plant factor calculation is based on the proportions of the respective plant water uses and their plant factor; or b) the plant factor of the higher water using plant is used for calculations. 29. Individual hydrozones that mix high and low water use plants will not be permitted. 30. On the landscape design plan and irrigation design plan, hydrozone areas must be Page 24 WE designated by number, letter, or other designation. On the irrigation design plan, designate the areas irrigated by each valve, and assign a number to each valve. Use this valve number in the Hydrozone Information Table (see Water Efficient Worksheet provided by staff. This table can also assist with the irrigation audit and programming the controller. The Irrigation Design Plan must contain: 31. location and size of separate water meters for landscape; 32. location, type and size of all components of the irrigation system, including controllers, main and lateral lines, valves, sprinkler heads, moisture sensing devices, rain switches, quick couplers, pressure regulators, and backflow prevention devices; 33. static water pressure at the point of connection to the public water supply; 34. flow rate (gallons per minute), application rate (inches per hour), and design operating pressure (pressure per square inch) for each station; 35. recycled or reclaimed water irrigation systems must be utilized if such lines are readily available adjacent to the site, as specified in ESMC § 15 -15A -5 (F); 36. the following statement: "I have complied with the criteria of the ordinance and applied them accordingly for the efficient use of water in the irrigation design plan;" and 37. the signature of a licensed landscape architect, certified irrigation designer, licensed landscape contractor, or any other person authorized to design an irrigation system. (See Sections 5500.1, 5615, 5641, 5641.1, 5641.2, 5641.3, 5641.4, 5641.5, 5641.6, 6701, 7027.5 of the Business and Professions Code, Section 832.27 of Title 16 of the California Code of Regulations, and Section 6721 of the Food and Agricultural Code.)

All graywater systems must conform to the California Plumbing Code (Title 24, Part 5, Chapter 16) and any applicable local ordinance standards. Refer to ESMC § 15- 15A- 3(A)(4) for the applicability of this ordinance to landscape areas less than 2,500 square feet with the Estimated Total Water Use is met entirely by graywater. H. Irrigation Scheduling: Page 25 91 For the efficient use of water, all irrigation schedules must be developed, managed, and evaluated to utilize the minimum amount of water required to maintain plant health. Irrigation schedules must meet the following criteria: 1. Irrigation scheduling must be regulated by automatic irrigation controllers. 2. Overhead irrigation must be scheduled between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. unless weather conditions prevent it. If allowable hours of irrigation differ from the local water purveyor, the stricter of the two must apply. Operation of the irrigation system outside the normal watering window is allowed for auditing and system maintenance. 3. For implementation of the irrigation schedule, particular attention must be paid to irrigation run times, emission device, flow rate, and current reference evapotranspiration, so that applied water meets the Estimated Total Water Use.

SAVE WATER 2. The State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board) shall impose restrictions to achieve a statewide 25% reduction in potable urban water usage through February 28, 2016. These restrictions will require water suppliers to California's cities and towns to reduce usage as compared to the amount used in 2013. These restrictions should consider the relative per capita water usage of each water suppliers' service area, and require that those areas with high per capita use achieve proportionally greater reductions than those with low use. The California Public Utilities Commission is requested to take similar action with respect to investor -owned utilities providing water services. 3. The Department of Water Resources (the Department) shall lead a statewide initiative, in partnership with local agencies, to collectively replace 50 million square feet of lawns and ornamental turf with drought tolerant landscapes. The Department shall provide funding to allow for lawn replacement programs in underserved communities, which will complement local programs already underway across the state. 4. The California Energy Commission, jointly with the Department and the Water Board, shall implement a time - limited statewide appliance rebate program to provide monetary incentives for the replacement of inefficient household devices. 5. The Water Board shall impose restrictions to require that commercial, industrial, and institutional properties, such as campuses, golf courses, and cemeteries, immediately implement water efficiency measures to reduce potable water usage in an amount consistent with the reduction targets mandated by Directive 2 of this Executive Order. 6. The Water Board shall prohibit irrigation with potable water of ornamental turf on public street medians. 7. The Water Board shall prohibit irrigation with potable water outside of newly constructed homes and buildings that is not delivered by drip or microspray systems. 105 The Water Board shall direct urban water suppliers to develop rate structures and other pricing mechanisms, including but not limited to surcharges, fees, and penalties, to maximize water conservation consistent with statewide water restrictions. The Water Board is directed to adopt emergency regulations, as it deems necessary, pursuant to Water Code section 1058.5 to implement this directive. The Water Board is further directed to work with state agencies and water suppliers to identify mechanisms that would encourage and facilitate the adoption of rate structures and other pricing mechanisms that promote water conservation. The California Public Utilities Commission is requested to take similar action with respect to investor -owned utilities providing water services. INCREASE ENFORCEMENT AGAINST WATER WASTE 9. The Water Board shall require urban water suppliers to provide monthly information on water usage, conservation, and enforcement on a permanent basis. 10. The Water Board shall require frequent reporting of water diversion and use by water right holders, conduct inspections to determine whether illegal diversions or wasteful and unreasonable use of water are occurring, and bring enforcement actions against illegal diverters and those engaging in the wasteful and unreasonable use of water. Pursuant to Government Code sections 8570 and 8627, the Water Board is granted authority to inspect property or diversion facilities to ascertain compliance with water rights laws and regulations where there is cause to believe such laws and regulations have been violated. When access is not granted by a property owner, the Water Board may obtain an inspection warrant pursuant to the procedures set forth in Title 13 (commencing with section 1822.50) of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure for the purposes of conducting an inspection pursuant to this directive. 11. The Department shall update the State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance through expedited regulation. This updated Ordinance shall increase water efficiency standards for new and existing landscapes through more efficient irrigation systems, greywater usage, onsite storm water capture, and by limiting the portion of landscapes that can be covered in turf.

Waters Division 2. Department of Water Resources Chapter 2.7. Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance § 490. Purpose. (a) The State Legislature has found: (1) that the waters of the state are of limited supply and are subject to ever increasing demands; (2) that the continuation of California's economic prosperity is dependent on the availability of adequate supplies of water for future uses; (3) that it is the policy of the State to promote the conservation and efficient use of water and to prevent the waste of this valuable resource; (4) that landscapes are essential to the quality of life in California by providing areas for active and passive recreation and as an enhancement to the environment by cleaning air and water, preventing erosion, offering fire protection, and replacing ecosystems lost to development; a*d (5) that landscape design, installation, maintenance and management can and should be water efficient; and (6) that Section 2 of Article X of the California Constitution specifies that the right to use water is limited to the amount reasonably required for the beneficial use to be served and the right does not and shall not extend to waste or unreasonable method of use. (b) Consistent with these legislative findings, the purpose of this model ordinance is to: (1) promote the values and benefits of landscaping practices that integrate and go beyond the conservation and efficient use of water; landseartes -w 1ifl ,- ,.ecognizing the need- to invest 3 atei- .,a ether- fe.,...,,fees as arrr..iendy as sible; (2) establish a structure for planning, designing, installing, maintaining and managing water efficient landscapes in new construction and rehabilitated projects by encouraging the use of a watershed approach that requires cross - sector collaboration of industry, government and property owners to achieve the many benefits possible; (3) establish provisions for water management practices and water waste prevention for existing landscapes; (4) use water efficiently without waste by setting a Maximum Applied Water Allowance as an upper limit for water use and reduce water use to the lowest practical amount; (5) promote the benefits of consistent landscape ordinances with neighboring local and regional agencies; (6) encourage local agencies and water purveyors to use economic incentives that promote the efficient use of water, such as implementing a tiered -rate structure; and (7) encourage local agencies to designate the necessary authority that implements and enforces the provisions of the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance or its local landscape ordinance. (c) Landscapes that are planned, designed, installed, managed and maintained with the watershed based approach can improve California's environmental conditions and provide bcncfit5 and realize sustainability goals. Such landscapes will make the urban environment resilient in the face of climatic extremes. Consistent with the legislative findings and purpose of the Ordinance, conditions in the urban setting will be improved by_ (1) Creating the conditions to support life in the soil by reducing compaction, incorporating organic matter that increases water retention, and promoting productive plant growth that leads to more carbon storage, oxygeii production, shade, habitat and esthetic benefits. 2 112 (2) Minimizigg energy use by reducing, irrigation water requirements, reducing reliance on petroleum based fertilizers and pesticides, and planting climate appropriate shade trees in urban areas. (3) Conserving water by capturing and reusing rainwater and gaaywater wherever possible and selecting climate appropriate plants that need minimal supplemental water after establishment. (4) Protecting air and water quality by reducing power equipment use and landfill disposal grips, selecting recycled and locally sourced materials, and using compost, mulch and efficient irrigation equipment to prevent erosion. (5) Protecting existing habitat and creating new habitat by choosing local native plants, climate adapted non - natives and avoiding invasive plants. Utilizing integrated pest management with least toxic methods as the first course of action. Note: Authority cited: Section 65593, Government Code.

[Approved by Governor October 9, 2015. Filed with Secretary of State October 9, 2015.] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1164, Gatto. Water conservation: drought tolerant landscaping. Existing law generally authorizes every city and county, including a charter city, in this state to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations that are not in conflict with general laws. This bill would prohibit a city, including a charter city, county, and city and county, from enacting or enforcing any ordinance or regulation that prohibits the installation of drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, or artificial turf on residential property, as specified. The bill would additionally state that this is an issue of statewide concern. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute. The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. The Legislature hereby finds and declares: (a) With the lowest snowpack ever recorded, California finds itself in 2015 in the fourth year of a historic, prolonged, and potentially devastating drought. (b) Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. issued an Executive order on April 1, 2015, which, for the first time in California history, directs the State Water Resources Control Board to implement mandatory water reductions across the state to reduce water usage by 25 percent. (c) One component of the Governor's Executive order compels the replacement of 50 million square feet of lawns throughout the state with drought tolerant landscaping. (d) Among a wide variety of drought tolerant landscaping are a variety of native plants and landscaping alternatives, including the installation of synthetic grass or artificial turf. (e) According to the Department of Water Resources, landscape irrigation represents 43 percent of urban water use. The installation of synthetic grass or artificial turf, in lieu of conventional lawns and landscapes, can directly 90 151 Ch. 671 —2— reduce outdoor water use to help meet the Governor's mandated 25- percent statewide water use reduction. SEC. 2. Section 53087.7 is added to the Government Code, to read: 53087.7. (a) A city, including a charter city, county, or city and county, shall not enact any ordinance or regulation, or enforce any existing ordinance or regulation, that prohibits the installation of drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, or artificial turf on residential property. (b) A city, including a charter city, county, or city and county, may impose reasonable restrictions on the type of drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, or artificial turf that may be installed on residential property provided that those restrictions do not do any of the following: (1) Substantially increase the cost of installing drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, or artificial turf. (2) Effectively prohibit the installation of drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, or artificial turf. (3) Significantly impede the installation of drought tolerant landscaping, including, but not limited to, a requirement that a residential yard must be completely covered with living plant material. SEC. 3. The Legislature finds and declares the prolonged drought, along with climate change, requires the state to address water conservation goals that will have long -term impacts in this state. The Legislature further finds and declares that drought tolerant landscaping, including the installation of synthetic grass or artificial turf, is a viable landscaping alternative that will further the goal of addressing long -term water conservation. Therefore, allowing property owners in this state to install drought tolerant landscaping, synthetic grass, or artificial turf on their residential properties is a matter of statewide concern, not a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. SEC. 4. This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are: In order to address the historic, prolonged, and potentially devastating drought, it is necessary that residents of this state be able to replace water inefficient landscaping with drought tolerant landscaping as quickly as possible; therefore, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.

INTRODUCTION On November 17, 2015, the City Council opened a public hearing regarding the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project. Staff made a presentation introducing and analyzing the Project. The traffic engineer from the City's environmental consultant made a presentation on the traffic analysis completed for the Project. Representatives of the Raytheon Company made a presentation providing details about the Company as well as information on the applicant's goals for the proposed Project. The City Council, after hearing public comment, questioning staff and the applicant on details of the Project and then continued the Project's public hearing to December 1, 2015. The Council gave direction to staff to make modifications to the Project's Development Agreement, Resolution and Ordinance to incorporate the following project revisions: • Increase the total amount of the six annual payments from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 (with a modified payment schedule in years 2 through 6). • Include language in the Development Agreement, Resolution and Ordinance to allow for the possibility of the City accepting the 7.54 acre recreational area identified on the Project plans as a public park under the following conditions: 1) Raytheon locates the recreational area outside its future secured perimeter (either west or south of the Nash Street Extension or west of the Continental Boulevard Extension) and; 2) the City chooses to accept the land as a park. The requested project modifications were made to the draft documents and are attached for the Council's review. II. PROJECT APPLICATIONS The application includes the following: 1) Environmental Assessment No. EA -905 California 1. nvironnnental Quality Art (CEQA) and State Clearing House (SCR) No. 2012_1.01081. — An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Environmental Assessment No. EA -905 is proposed for the ESSCSP pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines. (See Exhibit l.h.). The City Council cannot approve the project without adopting findings of fact and a statement of overriding considerations. 2) General Plan Amendment/ General Plan Malp Amendment No. GPA 11 -01 — Amend the General Plan to Re- designate the project site from Light Manufacturing to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) (see Exhibits l .b., l.c., IA, and Le.) 3) Zone Change No. ZC 11 -02 — Amend the Zoning Map to rezone the project site from the Light Manufacturing (M -1) Zone to the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) 2 154 Zone (see Exhibit 2.a). The requested rezoning will allow for consistency with the proposed General Plan Amendment. 4) Specific Plan No. SP 11 -01 — Designation of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) for the project site that establishes the development standards within the Specific Plan (see Exhibit 2.b.). 5) Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 11 -01 — Zone Text Amendment to add the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan as ESMC § 15- 3- 2(A)(10) "El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan." 6) Dcvelopment Agreement No. DA 11 -02 — Approve the Development Agreement to provide public benefits in exchange for development rights (ten -year entitlement with the option for a five year extension) (See Exhibit 2.c.). 7) SUB 11 -02 for Vests Tentative Map (VTM) No. 71551 — A subdivision to allow the division of land into 26 separate parcels in three phases. (See Exhibit Li.). II. DISCUSSION The City Council's November 17, 2015 public hearing included extensive staff, traffic consultant and applicant presentations on the proposed Project. Three individuals commented during the public comment period. The first was Mr. Baldino, the Chair of the Planning Commission who summarized the Planning Commission's Project recommendation to the City Council. Mr. Baldino identified that the Project's basic premise is taking a large tract of land and adding value to the land by modifying the site's land use regulations. The Planning Commission recommendation identifies that the Commission's opinion of the entire package of benefits to the City comes up short when balanced against the potential impacts identified in the Project's EIR. Mr. Baldino identified that further negotiation on the Development Agreement may resolve the issue of balance between Project's impacts and public benefits. The second commentator, Mike Robbins, identified he was concerned about the project's future traffic, hoped that the Project did not signal Raytheon moving from the City, and was concerned that the Raytheon Campus' existing open space will be reduced in size. The third commentator, Julie Stolnak, was also concerned with the reduction in recreational open space area. Much of the City Council's deliberation focused on the Project's traffic impacts. The Council asked staff whether the LAX expansion projects and other potential sources of traffic growth were included in the traffic study. Staff noted that LAX expansion projects are included in the traffic study. In addition the study includes a future traffic growth factor above and beyond identified surrounding projects ( "Cumulative Projects ") to ensure a conservative analysis of future traffic growth. Council inquired if additional intersection mitigations could be identified. Staff stated feasible mitigations that do not require the taking of private property and do not require modification of large scale infrastructure, such as overhead rail lines, have been included in the mitigations for the project. The Council identified that the timing of the Nash Street extension was a major concern. Council deliberated on creating an additional potential penalty to motivate the applicant to build the road within six years or be required to pay an additional $1,000,000 was discussed. After discussing this topic the Council instead directed 3 155 Staff to add $1,000,000 to years two through six of the previously identified direct payments to the City. The modified required payments are as follows: Year Original Direct Payment Amount Revised Direct Payment Amount 1 $500,000 $500,000 2 $500,000 $700,000 3 $500,000 $700,000 4 $500,000 $700,000 5 $500,000 $700,000 6 $500,000 $700,000 TOTAL $3,000,000 $4,000,000 City Council also deliberated regarding access to the public open space. There was discussion on whether the City would want the land to be a public park. Raytheon indicated a willingness to give the land to the City as a public park under the condition that the land not be located in the secured area the Company intended to keep around their facility, Council members discussed whether the City wanted the additional expenses of maintaining another public park. After discussing the issue the Council directed staff to add language to the Development Agreement, Resolution and Ordinance to give the City a 20 -year option to take the land as a public park if the recreation area was re- located into an area Raytheon was not intending to keep secured. An unsecured area was identified as located on the `outside' of the Nash Street extension (to the south or east) and Continental Boulevard extension (to the west). Should the Council wish to acquire the land and designate it a park that would be open to the general public at some point in the future rather than limited to property owners and tenants within the Specific Plan area, additional environmental analysis would be necessary to evaluate any environmental impacts (e.g. such as impacts from increased traffic) before the Council could exercise that option. III. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Staffs recommendation is for the Council to approve the project as all revisions requested by the Council at the November 17, 2015 hearing have been incorporated into the attached revised documents. A review of the record demonstrates that there is substantial evidence for the City Council to make the findings needed to adopt the Statement of Overriding Considerations (which relies, in significant part, upon the public benefits offered in the draft Development Agreement); certify the EIR (and adopt the MMRP); and make the land use approvals (General Plan Amendment, Zone Change, Zone Text Amendment, Specific Plan, and Subdivision and Development Agreement).

GPA 11 -01; AND APPROVING SUBDIVISION NO. SUB 11 -02 FOR VESTING TENTATIVE MAP NO. 71551. The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows: SECTION 1: The Planning Commission finds and declares that: A. On December 8, 2011, the Raytheon Company filed an application for Environmental Assessment No. EA -905; General Plan Amendment and General Plan Map Amendment No. GPA 11 -01; Specific Plan No. SPA 11- 01; Zone Change and Zoning Map Amendment No. ZC 11 -02; Zone Text Amendment No. 11 -01; Development Agreement No. 11 -02; and Subdivision No. 11 -02 for Vesting Tentative Map No. 71551 for 26 parcels to re- designate and rezone an approximately 142 -acre property at 2000- 2100 East El Segundo Boulevard from Light Manufacturing (M -1) Zone to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) to establish development standards for the site (collectively, the "project "); B. The applications were reviewed by the City of El Segundo Planning and Building Safety Department for, in part, consistency with the General Plan and conformity with the El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC "); C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations § §15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted March 16, 1993); D. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared pursuant to the requirements of CEQA Guidelines § 15161; E. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review and scheduled a public hearing regarding the application before the Planning Commission for February 12, 2015; F. On February 12, 2015, the Commission held a public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the applications including, -1- 157 without limitation, information provided to the Commission by City staff and public testimony, and representatives of the Raytheon Company and continued the item; G. On October 22, 2015, the Commission reopened the continued public hearing on the item to receive additional information regarding project revisions, in particular changes to the Development Agreement public benefits. Following the public hearing the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. 2765 recommending that the City Council certify the Project's EIR; and adopt the General Plan Amendment and General Plan Map Amendment, Specific Plan, Zone Change and Zoning Map Amendment; approve the Subdivision for Vesting Tentative Map No. 71551; and disapprove the draft Development Agreement; R On November 17, 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 the Raytheon Company; On December 1, 2015 the City Council reopened the continued public hearing on the item to receive additional information regarding project revisions the Council directed staff and the applicant to make; and J. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at its December 1, 2015 public hearing including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the Planning and Building Safety Department. SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds that the following facts exist: A. The project site is located at 2000 -2100 East El Segundo Boulevard in the southeast quadrant of the City of El Segundo; B. The project site is a level 142 -acre site located south of East El Segundo Boulevard, in the block between South Sepulveda Boulevard and South Douglas Street; C. The surrounding land uses are primarily low and high -rise office buildings to the north (CO and MU -N Zones); a City retention basin and light industrial uses to the south (M -1 and O -S Zones); light industrial uses and the elevated Metro Green Line track and station to the east (M -1 Zone); and SCE high voltage transmission lines, municipal golf course, and West Basin Municipal Water District facility (O -S and P -F Zones) to the west; - 2- 158 D. The project site is currently developed with the Raytheon Company's Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) facility. There is currently 1,802,513 net square feet (2,089,000 million gross square feet) of development in 11 buildings and 6,873 parking spaces located in 20 surface lots on the site. The floor area ratio (FAR) of current development on the site is 0.29; E. Existing development on the project site was originally approved in 1978 through Precise Plan #3 -78 that allowed for 2,575,000 square feet of development. The original precise plan was modified through numerous amendments and a precise plan map was established in 1983. The last amendment to the precise plan (Ordinance No. 1103) occurred in 1987. The existing entitlement allows for 2,017,903 net square feet of total development, which is 215,390 net square -feet in development more than the existing development on the site. The allowable FAR under the current entitlement is approximately 0.325; F. When the original precise plan for the project site was approved, the underlying zoning was Commercial- Manufacturing (C -M). At that time, the C -M Zone did not have a maximum FAR development standard. By 1988, the C -M Zone had a maximum FAR requirement of 1.0. In the early 1990s the project site was re -zoned Light Industrial (M -1), which limits FAR to 0.6; & The project is a mixed -use concept allowing for flexibility regarding the location and density of development within the specific plan area. The Specific Plan has mechanisms to allow the transfer of land use types and density within the plan area; H. The overall development within the Specific Plan area cannot exceed an FAR of 0.60, based on the 142.2 gross acre size of the project site. This would allow for a maximum of 1,930,000 net square feet of new development on the project site and a total maximum development (both existing and new) of 3,718,889 net square feet; Development standards for allowable uses have been developed for the Specific Plan and all uses within the Plan area must be compliant. The allowed uses identified in the development standards include: Office, Financial Institutions, Light Industrial Uses, Research and Development, Movie and Entertainment Facilities, Data Centers, Storage and Warehousing, Health Clubs, Recreational Facilities, Restaurants and Cafes, Retail and Hotels (subject to existing deed restrictions); J. The total number of traffic trips for new development in the project area cannot exceed the trip ceiling established in the Specific Plan. The trip ceiling for new development consists of 3,120 new p.m. peak hour trips (631 p.m. peak hour inbound trips, and 2,489 p.m. peak hour outbound trips), -3- 159 3,042 a.m. new peak hour trips (2,634 a.m. inbound trips and 408 a.m. outbound trips) and 26,585 total new daily trips; K. The proposed General Plan re- designation and rezoning of the Project Site would change the General Plan land use designation from Light Industrial to the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) land use designation and rezone the area from the Light Manufacturing (M -1) Zone to the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) Zone; L. The ESSCSP contains three land use designations. These are: Commercial /Office Mixed Use (CMU), Office /Industrial Mixed Use (0/1 MU) and Open Space /Recreation (OS /REC). The CMU designation applies to six parcels comprised of 24 acres. THE 0/1 MU designation applies to 11 parcels consisting of 86.6 acres and the OS /REC designation includes 6 parcels consisting of 12 acres. Three un -zoned parcels consisting of 13.6 acres in area are designated as public or private roadways; M. The project application included a site plan illustrating a Conceptual Development Scenario. The Conceptual Development Scenario contains the following components: 1,788,889 net square feet of existing development, 133,000 net square feet of new retail development, 82,000 net square feet of new warehouse development, 150,000 net square feet of new light industrial development, 1,565,000 net square feet of new office development and a 7.54 -acre private outdoor recreational facility; N. The Project includes a 100 -foot wide new public roadway on the east side of the Project site that will connect Nash Street to South Hughes Way. The applicant will be required to construct and dedicate this roadway to the City before occupying any building that produces new traffic trips beyond the trip ceiling of 89 new a.m. peak period trips or 225 p.m. peak period trips; O. The Project includes completion of a 4th eastbound travel lane on El Segundo Boulevard along the entire frontage of the Specific Plan area. The applicant is required to construct this roadway improvement as parcels with frontage on El Segundo Boulevard are constructed; P. The Project includes requirements to extend Continental Boulevard to be a publicly accessible roadway if non - Raytheon users occupy buildings adjacent to that roadway; Q. The Project includes the construction of a six -foot wide Class I bicycle path adjacent or near El Segundo Boulevard. The Project also includes Class II bicycle lanes in the roadway of the Nash Street extension; R. The Project includes a $75,000 payment towards construction of bicycle parking facilities at or adjacent to the Metro Green Line El Segundo Station. -4- We The Project also includes a requirement that a pedestrian access walkway be provided on the eastern side of the project area to provide access to the Metro Green Line Station; S. The Project includes a 20 -year offer to dedicate Parcels 20 and 22 of Vesting Map No. 71551 to allow a potential future roadway connection from the Nash Street extension to Coral Circle. A 20 -year offer to dedicate Parcel 26 is also included in the project to allow potential future roadway access to the east side of the City municipal golf- course if the Continental Boulevard roadway becomes publicly accessible; T. The Project includes a provision to allow the applicant to connect to the existing City sewer line in El Segundo Boulevard if a contribution of 25% of the cost, up to a maximum of $375,000, of up- grading that sewer line to increase capacity is paid to the City of El Segundo at the time the City awards the project but not later than December 31, 2018; U. The Project conditions require the Applicant to allow access to the 7.54 - acre recreational area identified on Parcel 11 if more than 28.44 acres of the plan area is sold to non - Raytheon users. In addition, the Applicant must record a 20 -year offer of dedication of the 7.54 acre recreation /open space area to the City of El Segundo, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for future potential park purposes in accordance with the Development Agreement if located on any of the lots (Parcel 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 13 or 14 of Vesting Map No. 71551) outside the Raytheon security fenced perimeter; V. The Project provides that the applicant would pay the City one $500,000 installment and five $700,000 installments for the City's General Fund to be made annually starting on March 31, 2016 and ending on March 31, 2021. These revised payments cannot be used as credit against future development impact fees. The six required payments result in a total of $4,000,000 in new General Fund revenue; W. The Project provides that the applicant would pay the City an additional $5,000,000 if the Nash Street road extension is not completed within 10 years after the project is approved. If the Nash Street roadway extension is not completed within 10 years, the City will receive a total of $9,000,000 in new General Fund revenue through direct payments from the applicant; and K The Project provides that the applicant would pay the City a $.50 per square foot fee for all future development on the site. Future revenue collected from this fee would go to the City's General Fund and could be used for any purpose the City chooses. SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The City Council makes the following environmental findings: -5- 161 A. The City completed a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for this project. A noticed Public Scoping meeting was held on November 5, 2012 pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15083. A Notice of Preparation of the DEIR was circulated for public review from October 29, 2012 to November 28, 2012 pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15082. A Notice of Completion for the DEIR was filed with the State Office of Planning and Research on July 14, 2014 pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15085. The public comment and review period for the DEIR was open between July 14, 2014 and August 27, 2014 in compliance with CEQA Guidelines §15087; B. The Final EIR, which is attached as Exhibit "H," and incorporated by reference, was reviewed by the City Council and the information contained in the Final EIR was considered by the City Council before approving or denying the project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15090; C. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines §15090 the Final EIR reflects the City's independent judgment and analysis. The City Council has independently reviewed and analyzed the Draft EIR prepared for the Project. The Draft EIR is an accurate and complete statement of the potential environmental impacts of the project. The Final EIR was prepared under the City's direction and reflects its independent judgment and analysis of the environmental impacts and comments received on the Draft EIR; D. The Draft EIR generally identifies, for each potentially significant impact of the project, one or more corresponding mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a level of insignificance, with the exception of air quality and noise impacts. The City Council finds that nearly all of the potentially significant impacts identified in the Draft EIR are mitigated by corresponding mitigation measures to the extent set forth in the Draft EIR; E. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15091, the City Council has considered written findings regarding each of the significant environmental effects identified in the DEIR before certifying the Final EIR. Each finding includes a rationale of how mitigation measures have lessened identified significant environmental effects to a less than significant level for those effects that have been identified as mitigatable. For the four environmental effects that have been identified in the DEIR as not mitigatable to a less than significant level (Land Use and Planning, Transportation and Traffic, Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions), the findings provide a rationale on how proposed mitigation measures have substantially lessened these four environmental effects; F. The DEIR states that the City Council must adopt a Statement of Overriding Consideration if it wishes to approve the project. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15093 a Statement of Overriding Consideration was included 0 162 in the project's record for City Council consideration. This statement identifies specific reasons why to support approval of the project based on information in the EIR and in the project's record; and G. The specific issues included in the Statement of Overriding Considerations considered by the City Council are: a) The Project will help foster economic development, business retention, municipal tax base and job creation in the City; b) The Project provides the opportunity for the City's largest employer to grow and expand operations within the City; c) Project approval will trigger one annual payment of $500,000 and five subsequent annual payments of $700,000 towards the City's General Fund for a total of $4,000,000 that can be used by the City for any purpose; d) If the Nash Street Extension roadway improvements are not completed within 10 years of project approval, then the applicant would pay the City an additional $5,000,000; e) An additional fee of $.50 per square foot of new development is required to be paid as development of the project occurs (resulting in $1,000,000 if the conceptual plan is fully built); f) Roadway improvements consistent with the General Plan will result from the Project; g) Bicycle and Pedestrian network improvements will be constructed as part of the project; h) Increased density at the project location is consistent with regional growth strategies, such as the SCAG Compass Blueprint Growth Vision Program; and i) The project could result in potential benefits such as access to additional land for roadway links, potential for the City to accept land for a new public park and a monetary contribution, up to $375,000, to City sewer improvements. Section 4: General Plan and Specific Plan. If approved, the project conforms to the City's General Plan, with the exception of Circulation Element policies C1 -1.2, C1 -1.5, and 01- 1.10. The statement of overriding considerations finds that the public benefits resulting from the Project overcomes the inability to comply with these three Circulation Element policies. Conformance with the rest of the General Plan and the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan is as follows: A. Following a General Plan Amendment, the General Plan Land Use Designation of the project site would be "El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP)." This designation is intended to create a plan area that is a flexible mixed -use concept. The Specific Plan contains mechanisms that allow the transfer of land use types and density within the plan area. As conditioned, the proposed project is compatible with the General Plan with the exception of the previously cited Circulation Element policies. B. The General Plan contains a number of relevant Goals, Objectives, and Policies in the Land Use Element. Implementation of the proposed project is consistent with Land Use Element Policy LU4 -1.1 to "require landscaping, its maintenance and permanent upkeep on all new commercial 163 development." The Specific Plan requires a Master Landscape Concept Plan to be submitted before any development occurs in the Specific Plan area and all development will be reviewed to ensure consistency with this Master Landscape Plan. C. The proposed project is consistent with Land Use Element Policies LU4 -3.2 to "encourage mixed -use developments within one quarter mile of Green Line Stations "; LU4 -4.4 to "promote commercial uses, in conjunction with other uses, in buildings within a quarter -mile walking radius of the Green Line stations "; LU4 -4.6 to "promote mixed -use development near transit nodes and encourage modes of transportation that do not require an automobile "; and LU4 -4.8 to "develop guidelines for mixed -use, high intensity nodes within a quarter mile walking radius of the Green Line stations." There is an existing Metro Green Line Station adjacent to the northeast corner of the Project site and much of the plan area is within a quarter mile of this station. The Specific Plan allows for a mix of commercial uses to be developed at locations within a quarter mile of the Metro Green Line Station and includes design guidelines and design features that encourage walking and other alternative means of transportation to the Metro Green Line Station. The majority of existing development on the project site within a quarter mile of this Metro Green Line station is surface parking. D. The proposed project is consistent with Land Use Element Objective LU4 - 4 to "provide areas where development has the flexibility to mix uses, in an effort to provide synergistic relationships which have the potential to maximize economic benefit, reduce traffic impacts, and encourage pedestrian environments." The Specific Plan allows for a range of commercial uses and includes mechanisms allowing for the flexible transfer of uses and density to different locations within the Specific Plan area. The site is currently developed with little integration into the surrounding area and City street network. The site is currently developed with limited uses and has no support retail services and other commercial uses mixed in with the site's existing office, industrial and research and development uses. The development standards and allowed uses in the Specific Plan will allow for a more flexible use of the site and allow for the mixing of uses. The Specific Plan also has requirements for new pedestrian and traffic improvements. E. The proposed project is consistent with Land Use Element Policy LU6 -1.1 to "continue to provide uniform and high quality park and recreational opportunities to all areas of the City, for use by residents and employees." The existing Raytheon South Campus provides a large recreational facility for use by employees, which provides an amenity to employees and also reduces demand for the use of City recreational facilities. The Specific Plan will continue to provide a large outdoor recreational facility to Raytheon Employees and potentially to other employees located within the plan area. 1:3 164 The project also provides an opportunity in the future for the City to obtain land for a public park. F. The proposed project is consistent with Land Use Element Policy LU7 -1.2 that "no new development shall be allowed unless adequate public facilities are in place or provided for." The utility and public service requirements for the project were evaluated as part of the environmental review process. The required environmental mitigation measures for utilities and services as well as collection of required impact mitigation fees will ensure adequate public facilities are in place or provided. G. The proposed project is consistent with Land Use Element Policy LU7 -1.4 that "storm drain and flood control facilities shall be maintained throughout the City to protect residents and structures from an anticipated 50 -year flood." The project application included a proposed drainage system and the EIR analysis of this system concluded that the project will not result in any net increase in storm water discharge. Compliance with the required environmental mitigation measures for hydrology and water quality will ensure compliance with General Plan flood - proofing requirements. H. The proposed project is consistent with some, but not all, Circulation Element Objectives and Policies based upon a Traffic Study performed for the project. The project is inconsistent with Circulation Element Policies C1- 1.2 to "pursue implementation of all Circulation Element policies such that all Master Plan roadways are upgraded and maintained at acceptable levels of service "; C1 -1.5 to "Implement roadway and intersection upgrades to full Circulation Element standards when needed to improve traffic operating conditions and to serve development "; and C1 -1.10 to "ensure that new roadway links are constructed as designated in the Master Plan and link with existing roadways with the City such that efficient operation of the circulation system is maintained at an operating Level of Service "D" or better." The Traffic Study determined that the proposed project would generate 26,585 new daily trips with 3,042 new AM peak hour, and 3,120 new PM peak hour trips. The project has significant impacts at 16 of the 71 studied intersections and these impacts do not have feasible mitigation. Project approval requires the City Council to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations. The proposed project is consistent with Circulation Element Policy C1 -1.3 to "provide adequate roadway capacity on all Master Plan roadways" and C1 -1.5 to "pursue and protect adequate right -of -way to accommodate future circulation system improvements." The project involves improvements on three roadways: El Segundo Boulevard; Nash Street and Continental Boulevard. The roadways improvements will be constructed in compliance with Circulation Element standards for each applicable roadway classification and will provide right of ways consistent with Circulation WE 165 Element Exhibit C -10, the City's Master Plan of Streets. J. The project is consistent with Circulation Element Policy C1 -1.4 to "construct missing roadway links to complete the roadway system designated in the Circulation Element when needed to improve traffic operating conditions and to serve development." The Nash Street extension will result in a north -south roadway in the southeastern quadrant of the City, which is identified as a Future Transportation Corridor in the Circulation Element and noted on the City's Master Plan of Streets (Circulation Element Exhibit C -10) as circulation "to be developed in conjunction with land development." K. The project is consistent with Circulation Element Policy C1 -1.6 to "ensure that planned intersection improvements are constructed as designated in Exhibit C -9 to achieve efficient operation of the circulation system at a Level of Service "D" or better where feasible." All feasible intersection improvements have been identified and are required to be completed as part of the project conditions of approval and mitigation measures. The required intersection improvements do not conflict with the improvements identified in Circulation Element Exhibit C -9. L. The project is consistent with Circulation Element Policy C1 -1.7 to "provide adequate intersection capacity to the extent feasible on Major, Secondary and Collector Arterials to maintain LOS D and to prevent diversion of through traffic into local residential streets." All feasible intersection improvements to increase capacity on Major, Secondary and Collector Arterials are included as project conditions of approval and mitigation measures. Given the project location in the southeast quadrant of the City, which is located away from the City's residential areas, and as identified in the EIR, the Project will not divert through traffic to City of El Segundo residential streets. M. The project is consistent with Circulation Element Policy C2 -1.1 to "encourage the development of pedestrian linkages to and from the Metro Green Line stations to encourage and attract intermodal transit/walking trips" and Policy C2 -1.3 to "encourage new developments in the City to participate in the development of the city -wide system of pedestrian walkways and require participation funded by the project developer where appropriate." The construction of a pedestrian walkway on the east side of the project area is required to provide convenient pedestrian access to the Green Line El Segundo Station located adjacent to El Segundo Boulevard. N. The project is consistent with Circulation Element Policy C2 -2.8 to "evaluate bikeway system links with the Metro Green Line rail stations and improve access wherever feasible." The Project is required to add a new eastbound Class I bicycle path to El Segundo Boulevard and an easement on the east -10- 166 side of the project area for direct bicycle access into the Metro Green Line El Segundo Station, which will improve bicycle access to the station. O. The project is consistent with Circulation Element Policy C2 -3.10 to "encourage the MTA to provide bike storage facilities at the Metro Green Line rail stations." The developer is required to pay $75,000 towards construction of bicycle parking facilities at or adjacent to the Green Line El Segundo Station. P. The project is consistent with Economic Development Element Policies ED1 -2.1 to "expand El Segundo's retail and commercial base so that the diverse needs of the City's business and residential communities are met" and ED1 -2.2 to "Maintain and promote land uses that improve the City's tax base, balancing economic development and quality of life goals." The Project will add retail and commercial uses at the site, replace existing surface parking lots, increase the City's tax base and add new jobs. Q. The project is consistent with Economic Development Element Policy ED1- 2.3 to "balance the City's economic development program with the City's resources and infrastructure capacity." The Project will result in improvements to the City's roadway network and could potentially result in improved sewer infrastructure in El Segundo Boulevard. The EIR for the project evaluated utilities and public services and found that City resources and infrastructure capacity can meet the needs of this Project. R. The project is consistent with Open Space Element Objective OS 1 -2 to "preserve existing and support acquisition of additional private park and recreation facilities to foster recognition of their value as community recreation and open space resources." The Project includes the preservation of existing private recreational facilities through relocation of these facilities within the Specific Plan area. The Project also has the potential to expand the user base of these recreational facilities to employers other than Raytheon. S. The project is consistent with Recreation Element Goal OS1 to "provide and maintain high quality open space and recreational facilities that meet the needs of the existing and future residents and employees within the City of El Segundo." The project maintains high quality open space and recreational facilities for employees working within the Specific Plan area. T. The project is consistent with Air Quality Objective AQ3 -1 to "increase the proportion of work trips made by transit." The project will increase development intensity around an existing Metro Green Line Light Rail Station, consistent with the SCAG RTP /SCS regional mobility plan and the SCAG Compass Blueprint planning policy document. -11- 167 U. The project is consistent with Air Quality Policy AQ 4 -1.1 to "actively encourage the development and maintenance of a high quality network of pedestrian and bicycle routes, linked to key locations, in order to promote non - motorized transportation." The project includes a new bicycle path on El Segundo Boulevard and new bicycle lanes in the Nash Street extension. These new bicycle facilities are consistent with the South Bay Bicycle Plan and will provide better access to the Metro Green Line Light Rail Station adjacent to the site. A new pedestrian easement providing direct access to the Metro Green Line Light Rail Station is also included in the project. V. The project is consistent with Noise Element Program N1 -2.1A to "address noise impacts in all environmental documents for discretionary approval projects, to insure that noise sources meet City Noise Ordinance standards. These source may include: mechanical or electrical equipment, truck loading areas, or outdoor speaker systems." The EIR for the project fully evaluated project noise impacts. The EIR identifies that noise impacts can be fully mitigated. SECTION 5: Subdivision. The City Council cannot make any of the findings for denial set forth in ESMC § 14 -1 -6 for the following reasons: A. The proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Government Code § 65451. This project generally meets the goals and objectives of the General Plan and it is consistent with the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. Vesting Tentative Map (VTM) No. 71551 proposes 26 new lots. The proposed lots vary in size and meet the minimum lot size requirements established in the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. B. The design of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. This project meets the goals and objectives of the General Plan with the exception of three Circulation Element policies. Approval of the project relies on a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the subject Circulation Element policies. C. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development in that the proposed lots meet the size and dimension requirements to allow the subdivision of the existing project site. The previous land use designation was Light Industrial and the zoning designation for the property was Light Industrial (M -1). The new El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan allows for the continued operation of the existing office /manufacturing facility and allows for expanded commercial and office development that is consistent with existing development surrounding the Project area. D. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. The proposed project involves subdivision of an approximately 142 acre project -12- .: site into 26 parcels. The proposed maximum development density is a 0.6 Floor Area Ratio (FAR). This density is consistent with the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. This density is also generally in conformance with the maximum FAR allowed in the M -1 Zone, the previous zoning designation of the site. Each new lot will meet or exceed the minimum size and dimension requirements. E. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements is unlikely to cause substantial damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. The proposed project site is currently improved with approximately 2,089,948 gross square feet of existing Raytheon Company office, industrial and warehouse development, an outdoor recreational area, and 6,873 parking spaces in approximately 20 surface parking lots. The project site is also predominately surrounded by developed urban land permanently altered with buildings, roads and hardscape. There are no fish or wildlife habitats on the site that could be damaged by the proposed subdivision or new development. F. The design of the subdivision will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. The proposed subdivision is not anticipated to conflict with any known easements located at or near the property. The proposed parcel configuration on the site has been oriented to avoid conflicts with existing easements, such as the existing Metro Green Line elevated rail alignment. SECTION 6: Approvals. A. Subject to the conditions listed on attached Exhibit "A," which are incorporated into this Resolution by reference, the City Council certifies the Final Environmental Impact Report of Environmental Impacts for Environmental Assessment No. EA -905 as set forth in Exhibit "H "; makes findings of fact and adopts a Statement of Overriding Considerations as set forth in Exhibit "G," which are incorporated by reference; and approves General Plan Amendment and General Plan Map Amendment No. GPA 11- 01 and Subdivision No. SUB 11 -02 for Vesting Tentative Map No. 71551. B. The City Council amends the Land Use Plan ( "Land Use Designations — Commercial Designations" subsection) of the Land Use Element of the General Plan to reflect the addition of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan, including a description of the allowed uses and the maximum land use density allowed. The corresponding changes are set forth in attached Exhibit "B," which is incorporated into this Resolution by reference. C. The City Council amends the Land Use Plan ( "Southeast Quadrant" subsection) of the Land Use Element of the General Plan to reflect the change of the Project area at 2000 -2100 East El Segundo Boulevard from -13- Light Industrial to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. The corresponding changes are set forth in attached Exhibit "C," which is incorporated into this Resolution by reference. D. The City Council amends the 1992 General Plan Summary of Existing Trends Buildout (Exhibit LU -3) of the Land Use Element to reflect the change of the Project area at 2000 -2100 East El Segundo Boulevard from Light Industrial to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. The corresponding changes to the Land Use Element are set forth in attached Exhibit "D," which is incorporated into this Resolution by reference. E. The City Council amends the General Plan Land Use Map to reflect the change of the Project area at 2000 -2100 East El Segundo Boulevard from Light Industrial to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP). The corresponding changes to the Land Use Map are set forth in attached Exhibit "E," which is incorporated into this Resolution by reference. F. The City Council, in accordance with the requirements of Public Resources Code § §21081(a) and 21081.6, adopts a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) as set forth in attached Exhibit "F," which is incorporated into this Resolution by reference. The City Council adopts each of the mitigation measures expressly set forth in the MMRP as conditions of approval of the Project. G. The City Council approves Vesting Tentative Map (VTM) No. 71551 (a 26 lot subdivision map) attached as Exhibit "I," which is incorporated into this Resolution by reference. SECTION 7: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole. SECTION 8: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council'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. -14- 170 SECTION 9: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact. SECTION 10: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent resolution. SECTION 11: A copy of this Resolution must be mailed to the Raytheon Company, and to any other person requesting a copy. -15- 171 SECTION 12: This Resolution is the City Council's final decision and will become effective immediately upon adoption.

Public Resources Code § 21081.6 requires a public agency to adopt a monitoring and reporting program for assessing and ensuring compliance with any required mitigation measures applied to proposed development: ... the public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes to the project which it has adopted, or made a condition of project approval, in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 provides general guidelines for implementing mitigation monitoring programs and indicates that specific reporting and /or monitoring requirements, to be enforced during project implementation, must be defined before certification of the Final EIR. The mitigation monitoring table below lists mitigation measures that can be included as conditions of approval for the Project. These measures correspond to those outlined in Section 1_0 and discussed in Section 5.0. To ensure that the mitigation measures are properly implemented, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) was drafted that identifies the timing and responsibility for monitoring each measure.

FINDINGS REQUIRED BY CEQA. CEQA Guidelines § 15090 require the City to certify that: The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) has been completed in compliance with CEQA; 2. The FEIR was presented to the decision - making body of the lead agency and that that decision - making body reviewed and considered the information contained in the final EIR before approving the Project; and 3. The FEIR reflects the lead agency's independent judgment and analysis. II. FINDINGS REGARDING THE POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF THE PROJECT. A. Impacts Found To Be Insignificant in the Initiial Stud . The Initial Study for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project, dated October 2012, identified the following environmental effects as not potentially significant. Accordingly, the City Council finds that the Initial Study, the FEIR, and the record of proceedings for the Project do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to the areas listed below. Aesthetics (Scenic Vistas and Scenic Resources within a State Scenic Highway). 2. Agriculture and Forest Resources. 3. Biological Resources. 4. Cultural Resources (Historical Resources). 5. Geology and Soils (Rupture of a Known Earthquake Fault; Landslide Potential; and Soils Incapable of Adequately Supporting the use of Septic Tanks or Alternative Wastewater Systems). 6. Hazards and Hazardous Materials (Safety Hazard from a Private Airstrip, and Exposure of People or Structures to Wildland Fires). 211 7. Hydrology and Water Quality (Place Housing or Structures Within a 100 - Year Flood Hazard; Expose People or Structures to a Significant Risk Involving Flooding; and Inundation By Seiche, Tsunami, or Mudflow). 8, Land Use and Planning (Physically Divide an Established Community, and Conflict With a Habitat Conservation Plan or Natural Community Conservation Plan). 9. Mineral Resources. 10. Noise (Excessive Noise Levels in the Vicinity of a Private Airstrip). 11. Population and Housing (Displace Substantial Numbers of People or Existing Housing). B. Impacts Identified as Less Than Significant in the Initial Study. The Initial Study identified the following environmental effects as less than significant. Accordingly, the City Council finds that the Initial Study, the FEIR, and the record of proceedings for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the Project with respect to the areas listed below. Aesthetics (Visual Character /Quality; Light and Glare) 2. Air Quality (Odors). 3. Cultural Resources (Archaeological and Paleontological Resources; and Disturbance of Human Remains). 4. Hazards and Hazardous Materials (Safety Hazard from an Airport Land Use Plan, or Within Two Miles of a Public or Public Use Airport). 5. Noise (Excessive Noise Levels for a Project Located Within an Airport Land Use Plan, or Within Two Miles of a Public or Public Use Airport). & Public Services (Other Public Facilities- Library). 7. Recreation (Increase Use of Existing Parks or Other Recreational Facilities). 8. Transportation/Traffic (Change in Air Traffic Patterns). Mandatory Findings of Significance (Degrade Quality of the Environment; Substantially Reduce Habitat of A fish or Wildlife Species). C. Impacts Identified as Potentially Significant in the Initial Study, But Which Did Not Exceed Significance Thresholds in the DEIR. The following environmental effects were identified as Potentially Significant in the Initial Study. The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings in this matter do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project with respect to the areas listed below: 2 212 Geology and Soils a) Facts /Effects (1) Erosion. The Project could result in substantial soil erosion or the loss of topsoil. However, with mandatory compliance with erosion protection measures under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Construction Permit, and El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) Chapter 5 -4, impacts would be less than significant. (2) Cumulative Impacts. The proposed Project, combined with other related cumulative projects, could expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving geology and soils. However, compliance with the CBC and ESMC, and the Geology and Soils Report's recommendations would ensure that Project implementation would result in less than significant impacts involving strong seismic ground shaking, seismically- induced soil /ground settlement and lurching, and corrosive soils. Therefore, the Project's incremental effects involving geology and soils are not cumulatively considerable. Moreover, the geotechnical and soil characteristics of each cumulative project site would be evaluated on a project -by- project basis, and appropriate mitigation measures would be required, as necessary to reduce potential impacts to a less than significant level. Further, all development would be required to comply with the CBC, the ESMC, and the recommendations of the site - specific geotechnical and soils investigations, if required. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce the aforementioned impacts below a level of significance for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project FEIR. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project with respect to erosion. Greenhouse Gas Emissions a) Facts /Effects (1) Compliance with Applicable Plan/Policy/Regulation. Development of the proposed Project would generate greenhouse gas emissions from both mobile and operational sources. However, the Project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation of an agency adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant with regard to consistency with an applicable greenhouse gas plan, policy, or regulation. 3 213 b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce the aforementioned impacts below a level of significance for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project FEIR. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project with respect to consistency with an applicable greenhouse gas plan, policy or regulation. 2. Hazards and Hazardous Materials a) Facts /Effects (1) Emissions Near School Facilities. The Project could result in hazardous emissions or the handling of hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or wastes within one - quarter mile of two existing schools due to proposed light industrial and commercial uses onsite. However, buffers in the form of roadways and intervening structures would separate the proposed light industrial and commercial uses from the existing schools. Further, compliance with measures established by Federal, State, and local regulatory agencies is considered adequate to offset the negative effects related to the use, handling, and /or storage of hazardous materials associated with future development onsite. A less than significant impact would occur in this regard following compliance with applicable Federal, State, and local regulations. (2) Hazardous Materials Sites. The Project site is listed in the GeoTracker database [maintained by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB)] pursuant to Government Code § 65962.5. The Project site is reported as a leaking underground storage tank (LUST) cleanup site. However, the case status is reported to be case closed as of July 22, 1996. Due to the closed status of this regulatory property, it is not anticipated that an environmental condition exists at the Project site as a result of this former LUST. Therefore, impacts to this issue are considered less than significant for the proposed Project. (3) Cumulative Impacts. As concluded in the FEIR, the Project's potential impacts through accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials would be reduced to less than significant levels, with implementation of the recommended mitigation and compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. Therefore, the Project's incremental effects involving historical oil /gas production and agriculture activities, existing hazardous materials facilities, LBPs and ACMs in structures, USTs, contaminated groundwater, and pipelines are not cumulatively considerable. 4 214 Cumulative projects involve existing industrial sites and uses (i.e., NRG Power Plant, Aerospace Corporation, Aviation Station, Chevron, Boeing Expansion Project, and LAX SPAS projects). Site disturbance, demolition /renovation, and /or construction associated with cumulative projects could require the offsite transport and disposal of hazardous substances, in the event they are encountered at the respective sites. As discussed above, the Project could similarly require the offsite transport and disposal of hazardous substances. Therefore, the Project's potential incremental effects involving the transport of hazardous materials during construction are cumulatively considerable. However, handling, transport, and disposal of these materials are regulated by the DTSC, CalEPA, CalOSHA, HCA, and El Segundo Fire Department. The construction contractor, on a project -by- project basis, would be subject to the requirements of the DTSC governing removal actions. DTSC regulations require specific hazardous materials handling methods, truck haul routes, and schedules to minimize potential exposure during hazardous materials removal actions. To reduce the likelihood and severity of accidents during transit, compliance with all applicable Federal and State laws related to the transportation of hazardous materials would be required. Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts due to transportation of hazardous materials associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. The potential exists for hazardous materials to be accidentally released during Project operations. However, the future onsite uses would be subject to compliance with strict EPA, DTSC, and ESFD standards, which would reduce the Project's potential impacts involving the accidental release of hazardous materials to less than significant. Therefore, the Project's incremental effects involving accidental release of hazardous materials are not cumulatively considerable. Further, cumulative projects storing hazardous materials would similarly be subject to compliance with the established regulatory framework. Cumulative impacts would be less than significant in this regard. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce the aforementioned impacts below a level of significance for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project FEIR. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project with respect to hazardous emissions near school facilities, hazardous materials sites, and cumulative hazards /hazardous materials impacts. 3. Hydrology and Water Quality a) Facts /Effects 215 (1) Short Term (Construction) Impacts to Water Quality. During construction of each of the Project, the soil surface would be subject to erosion and the downstream watershed could be subject to temporary sedimentation and discharges of various pollutants. However, mandatory compliance with the NPDES General Construction Permit, and ESMC Chapter 5 -4 would apply. Impacts would be less than significant for the proposed Project in this regard. (2) Groundwater. The Project would not interfere with groundwater recharge, since it is not located within a groundwater recharge area. Additionally, the Project site's average percent imperviousness is expected to decrease from 79.5 percent to 70.0 percent with Project implementation. Therefore, the Project would not reduce the ability of surface waters to be absorbed or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table. Impacts would be less than significant in this regard. (3) Cumulative Impacts. Project development would result in increased potential for short- and long -term operational water quality impacts in the area. Therefore, the Project's incremental effects to water quality are cumulatively considerable. However, the Project and cumulative development must adhere to NPDES requirements and implement a SWPPP with specific BMPs during construction activities. Additionally, the Project and cumulative development must adhere to NPDES requirements and implement a SUSMP with specific BMPs for post- construction conditions. Each project would also be required to comply with existing water quality standards at the time of development review and include BMPs, as necessary. Therefore, the combined cumulative short- and long -term impacts on surface water quality associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant with adherence to NPDES and ESMC requirements. Implementation of the cumulative projects would result in changes to drainage patterns and amounts of impervious surfaces on each respective development site. Higher flows resulting from cumulative development would contribute storm water flows to the local and regional drainage facilities, which would result in drainage and runoff impacts. Additionally, runoff from some of the cumulative projects could drain into the conveyance systems used by the Project. Since Project implementation would result in changes to drainage patterns and amounts of impervious surfaces, the Project's incremental effects to drainage are cumulatively considerable. However, future development would be required to account for higher flows within the drainage area on a project -by- project basis. Each cumulative project would be required to submit individual analyses to the City for review and approval prior to issuance of grading or building permits. Each analysis must indicate how peak flows generated from each related project would be accommodated by the existing and /or proposed storm drainage facilities. Therefore, the combined cumulative drainage and runoff impacts associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. 0 216 As concluded above, the Project would not deplete groundwater supplies, since the City does not use groundwater as a potable water source. Additionally, the Project would not substantially interfere with groundwater recharge, as the average percent imperviousness of the Project site would be reduced when compared to existing conditions. Therefore, the Project's incremental effects to groundwater supplies and recharge are not cumulatively considerable. Moreover, cumulative projects would not interfere with groundwater recharge, since they are not located within a groundwater recharge area. Although development of the cumulative projects could result in an overall increase in impervious surfaces, most of the sites involve redevelopment and not new development on vacant lands. Cumulative projects would not deplete groundwater supplies, as the City does not use groundwater as a potable water source. Therefore, cumulative impacts to groundwater supplies would be less than significant. b) Mitigation No mitigation measures are required to reduce the aforementioned impacts below a level of significance for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project FEIR. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project with respect to short-term (construction) water quality, groundwater, and cumulative hydrology and water quality impacts. 4. Land Use and Planning a) Facts /Effects (1) SCAG Policies and Municipal Code Standards. The Project would be consistent with the Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG's) 2012 Regional Transportation Plan/ Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP /SCS) goals and growth forecasts, as well as the El Segundo Municipal Code. Therefore, impacts related to SCAG Policies and ESMC standards would be less than significant. Cumulative Impacts. Related projects and other possible development would occur in the cities of El Segundo, Hawthorne, Los Angeles, and Manhattan Beach, as well as unincorporated Los Angeles County. However, cumulative projects would be evaluated on a project -by- project basis, as they are implemented within the City of El Segundo and the other cities /communities. Each cumulative project would undergo a similar plan review process as the proposed Project, to determine potential land use planning policy and regulation conflicts. Moreover, the Project is consistent with the 2012 RTP /SCS Goals and growth forecasts, the El Segundo General Plan and ESMC. Therefore, the combined cumulative land use /planning impacts associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. 7 217 b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce the aforementioned impacts below a level of significance for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project FEIR. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project with respect to land use and planning, and cumulative land use and planning impacts. 5. Noise a) Facts/Effects (1) Vibration. The nearest structures (commercial /light industrial and institutional uses) to a proposed construction activity area on the Project site are located approximately 50 feet to the east. Ground - borne vibration would be generated primarily during site clearing and grading activities on -site and by off -site haul -truck travel. At 50 feet from the activity source, vibration velocities at offsite uses would be below Federal Transit Administration (FTA) standards. Therefore, impacts related to vibration would be less than significant. (2) Long -Term Operational (Mobile and Stationary) Noise. The Project would not significantly contribute to existing traffic noise in the area or exceed the City's established standards during operations. Therefore, impacts related to long -term mobile and stationary noise would be less than significant. (3) Long -Term Cumulative Noise. Although related cumulative projects are identified within the study area, the noise generated by stationary equipment on -site cannot be quantified given the conceptual nature of each development and since speculation would be involved. Each cumulative project would require separate discretionary approval and CEQA assessment, which would address potential noise impacts and identify necessary attenuation measures, where appropriate. Long -term cumulative mobile noise would be within the City's Noise Standards for the land uses along surrounding roadway segments. As such, the proposed Project would not result in long -term stationary or mobile noise impacts. A less than significant impact would occur in this regard. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce the aforementioned impacts below a level of significance for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project FEIR. c) Finding: LV 218 The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project with respect to vibration, long -term operational noise, and cumulative long -term noise impacts. 6. Population and Housing a) Facts /Effects (1) Population Growth. The Project does not propose new residential land uses, and thus, would not induce population growth directly through housing. Additionally, although the Project proposes improvements /modifications to existing roads and infrastructure, it does not involve the extension of roads or other infrastructure into undeveloped areas. The Project does, however, propose new employment - generating land uses, which could induce direct population growth in the area. However, there are numerous alternative housing opportunities in surrounding cities, the Project would employ thousands of unemployed persons who already reside locally, and the forecast population growth would occur over an approximately 11 -year period, allowing for development of necessary services and infrastructure commensurate with the anticipated growth. Therefore, impacts related to population growth would be less than significant. (2) Cumulative Impacts. The Project would not induce population growth directly through housing, since no residential development is proposed. Therefore, the Project's incremental effects involving population growth in the area through residential development are not cumulatively considerable. Surrounding cumulative projects involve non - residential land uses, which would generate additional employment in El Segundo, Los Angeles, Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach, and unincorporated Los Angeles County. This cumulative employment growth could result in population growth in the area, as the potential exists that future cumulative project employees (and their families) would choose to relocate to the area. The Project would generate approximately 4,598 new jobs, which could also result in population growth in the area. However, the population growth attributed to the Project and cumulative development is considered unlikely. Given that there are approximately 20,200 unemployed persons in El Segundo and surrounding cities, and an additional 188,100 unemployed persons in the City of Los Angeles. It is anticipated that the new positions created by the Project and cumulative development would be filled by persons who already reside in the area. Estimating the number of future employees who would choose to relocate to the region would be highly speculative. Additionally, the Project would not cause SCAG's 2022 employment forecasts for the City to be exceeded. Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to employment - related population growth from the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. �7 219 b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce the aforementioned impacts below a level of significance for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project FEIR. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project with respect to population growth, and cumulative population and housing impacts. 7. Public Services and Recreation a) Facts /Effects (1) Fire, Police, Schools, and_Pa,rks /Recreation. The Project would create an increase in demand for fire and police protection services, as well as for schools and parks. Payment of the mitigation fees set forth in El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) Chapter 15 -57A would result in less than significant impacts related to fire and police protection services. Project implementation would generate student population growth in the WSD and CVUHSD. However, the Project does not propose and would not warrant construction of new or physically altered school facilities. Therefore, the Project would not result in substantial environmental impacts in this regard. Developer impact fees would be imposed on future applicants for development within the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan area. Thus, compliance with the established regulatory framework, which requires payment of developer impact fees, would offset the cost of providing service for any additional students generated by the Project. The impacts on school services would be fully mitigated and less than significant. The Project proposes to remove existing onsite private outdoor recreational uses and in their place, provide approximately 7.5 acres of new recreational facilities at the southeast corner of the Project site. Moreover, in compliance with ESMC Chapter 15 -27A, mitigation fees would be imposed on future applicants for development within the Specific Plan area, which would minimize, to the greatest extent practicable, the new development's impact on the City's existing parks and recreational facilities. Thus, a less than significant impact would occur in this regard. (2) Cumulative Impacts. The Project would result in increased demands on the City's fire and police protection services, and parks /recreational services and facilities. However, the Project is subject to compliance with ESMC Chapter 15 -27A through which the City imposes development impact fees to finance public facilities attributable to new development, including fire suppression and law enforcement facilities, vehicles, and equipment, and parks /open space 10 220 and recreation facilities and public use (community centers) facilities. Therefore, because the Project is required to pay ESMC Chapter 15- 27A mitigation fees, which are designed to alleviate cumulative impacts to the City, the Project's incremental effects to fire and police protection services, and parks /recreational services and facilities are not cumulatively considerable. Further, although cumulative development would similarly result in increased demands on existing fire and police protection services, and parks /recreational services and facilities, each cumulative project would be reviewed on a case -by -case basis by various City departments for compliance with minimum standards. Additionally, each cumulative Project must comply with ESMC Chapter 15 -27A and payment of development impact fees to finance public facilities attributable to the new development, including fire suppression and law enforcement facilities, vehicles, and equipment, and parks /open space and recreation facilities and public use (community centers) facilities. Such fees would minimize, to the greatest extent practicable, the cumulative development's impact on the El Segundo's public services and public facilities. Thus, cumulative development projects would pay their fair share of the costs of providing such public services and public facilities. Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to fire and police protection services, and parks /recreational services and facilities associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. The Project would generate student population growth in the WSD and CVUHSD. However, the Project is subject to compliance with Education Code §§ 17620, et seq., which allows school districts to collect impact fees from developers of new commercial /industrial building space. Because the Project is required to pay developer impacts fees, which are deemed to be full mitigation, the Project's incremental effects to school facilities are not cumulatively considerable. Further, although cumulative development would similarly generate student population growth in the WSD and CVUHSD, each cumulative Project would be subject to compliance with Education Code § 17620 and payment of development impact fees to school districts. Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to school districts associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce the aforementioned impacts below a level of significance for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project FEIR. c) Finding The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project with respect to public services and recreation, and cumulative impacts to public services and parks /recreation. 8. Transportation and Traffic 11 221 a) Facts /Effects (1) Congestion Management Program (CMP] Transit Impacts. Project implementation would increase the demand for public transit use in the Project vicinity. Based on the CMP guidelines, and the proximity of the various project land uses in relation to available transit in the Project vicinity, the Project is forecast to generate approximately 149 a.m. peak hour transit trips, approximately 153 p.m. peak hour transit trips, and approximately 1,303 daily transit trips. Since the Project transit trips can be accommodated by existing transit service in the Project vicinity, no significant CMP transit impacts are forecast to occur. (2) Intersection Level of Service (including Cumulative impacts). Project impacts involving the following intersections would be less than significant: Forecast Near -Term With Phase I Project Conditions Studyr Intersections • Intersection 1 (Pershing Drive /Imperial Highway); • Intersection 2 (Vista del Mar /Grand Avenue); • Intersection 3 (Highland Avenue /Rosecrans Avenue); • Intersection 4 (Main Street /Grand Avenue); • Intersection 5 (Lomita Street/Grand Avenue); • Intersection 6 (Kansas Street /Grand Avenue); • Intersection 23 (Hughes Way /Imperial Highway); • Intersection 24 (Continental Boulevard /Mariposa Boulevard); • Intersection 25 (Continental Boulevard /Grand Avenue); • Intersection 26 (Continental Boulevard/El Segundo Boulevard • Intersection 28 (Nash Street /Atwood Way); • Intersection 29 (Nash Street /Maple Avenue); • Intersection 30 (Nash Street /Mariposa Avenue); • Intersection 31 (Nash Street /Grand Avenue); • Intersection 32 (Nash Street/El Segundo Boulevard); Intersection 33 (1 -105 EB On- Ramp /Atwood Way); • Intersection 34 (Douglas Street/Imperial Highway); • Intersection 35 (Douglas Street/Atwood Way); • Intersection 36 (Douglas Street/Maple Avenue); • Intersection 37 (Douglas Street/Mariposa Avenue); • Intersection 38 (Douglas Street/El Segundo Boulevard); • Intersection 39 (Douglas Street/Transit Center); • Intersection 40 (Douglas Street/Rosecrans Avenue); • Intersection 41 (Aviation Boulevard /Century Boulevard); • Intersection 42 (Aviation Boulevard /104th Street); • Intersection 43 (Aviation Boulevard /111th Street); • Intersection 44 (Aviation Boulevard /Imperial Highway); • Intersection 45 (Aviation Boulevard /116th Street); • Intersection 46 (Aviation Boulevard /120th Street); • Intersection 47 (Aviation Boulevard /124th Street); • Intersection 49 (Aviation Boulevard /Utah Avenue); • Intersection 50 (Aviation Boulevard /Alaska Avenue); • Intersection 51 (Aviation Boulevard /Rosecrans Avenue); 12 222 • Intersection 52 (Aviation Boulevard /33rd Street); • Intersection 53 (Aviation Boulevard /Marine Avenue); • Intersection 54 (Aviation Boulevard /Space Park Drive); • Intersection 55 (Aviation Blvd. /Manhattan Beach Blvd.); • Intersection 56 (Isis Avenue /Rosecrans Avenue); • Intersection 58 (Hindry Avenue /Rosecrans Avenue); • Intersection 60 (La Cienega Boulevard /Imperial Highway); • Intersection 62 (La Cienega Blvd. /El Segundo Blvd.); • Intersection 69 (Sepulveda Boulevard /Manchester Avenue); • Intersection 66 (Douglas Street/Coral Circle North); and • Intersection 67 (Douglas Street/Coral Circle South).

Project implementation would increase the demand for wastewater treatment. However, the Project would not alter the Joint Water Pollution Control Plant's (JWPCP's) design capacities, or cause the plant (i.e., discharger) to violate the effluent limitations, receiving water limitations, or standard provisions. Moreover, all future development within the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan area must comply with NPDES requirements for any commercial and light industrial uses that plan to discharge wastewater to the City's sewage system, which ultimately flows to the JWPCP. Therefore, Project implementation would not cause the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) wastewater treatment requirements to be exceeded and a less than significant impact would occur in this regard. (2) Water Supplies. The Project is estimated to result in a net increase in potable water demand. However, the El Segundo Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) demonstrated that the water supply capacity needed for the Project was accounted for in the UWMPs of the City and West Basin, its wholesale water agency. Therefore, there 15 225 would be sufficient water supplies available to serve the Project from existing entitlement and resources, and no new or expanded entitlement would be needed. A less than significant impact would occur in this regard. (3) Solid Waste. The Project would be served by a landfill with sufficient permitted capacity to accommodate the Project's solid waste disposal needs. Further, the Project would be required to comply with the City's SRRE for diverting solid waste. Compliance with the SRRE would reduce the volume of solid waste ultimately disposed of at a landfill. Additionally, compliance with the SRRE would be in furtherance of meeting the City's disposal rate targets and exceeding AB 939's 50 percent diversion requirement. Continued compliance with the SRRE would ensure that the Project would comply with the statutes and regulations related to solid waste. Therefore, the Project would not conflict with federal, state, or local statutes and regulations related to solid waste, and a less than significant impact would occur in this regard. (4) CLIMUlative Impacts. The Project would similarly place greater demands on the system. Therefore, the Project's incremental effects to the water system are cumulatively considerable. The Water System Study analyzed the Project's impacts upon capacity, pressures, and fire flows in the water system serving the site and surrounding area. The analysis concluded water facility improvements were necessary to ensure that the Project combined with cumulative development would be adequately served. The Project would have a less than significant impact to water facilities with mitigation incorporated. Additionally, each cumulative project would be required to submit individual analysis of their potential impacts upon the water system and demonstrate how the project satisfies minimum standards. Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to the water system associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. The Project would have a less than significant impact to sewer facilities with mitigation incorporated. Additionally, each cumulative project would be required to submit individual analysis of their potential impacts upon the sewer system and demonstrate how the project satisfies minimum standards. Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to the sewer system associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. The WSA concluded sufficient water supply is available to the water provider during normal, single dry, and multiple dry years within a 20- year projection that would meet the Project's demands, in addition to existing and planned future uses. The Project would have a less than significant impact to water supplies. Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to water supplies associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. Cumulative wastewater treatment facility impacts from the Project were determined to be less than significant, as the population growth 16 226 attributed to the Project and cumulative development is considered unlikely. Given the unemployment that exists in El Segundo and surrounding areas, it is anticipated that the new positions created by the Project and cumulative development would be filled by persons who already reside in the area and generate a demand for wastewater treatment. Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to the JWPCP capacity associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. The Project would increase solid waste generation and impact capacities at landfills. However, compliance with the El Segundo and respective cities SRREs would reduce the volume of solid waste ultimately disposed of at a landfill. Additionally, compliance with the SRRE would be in furtherance of meeting each jurisdiction's disposal rate targets and exceeding AB 939's 50 percent diversion requirement. Therefore, the combined cumulative impacts to landfill capacities associated with the Project's incremental effects and those of the cumulative projects would be less than significant. For purposes of dry utilities analyses, cumulative impacts are considered for cumulative projects, which are located in the SCE, SCG, and the AT &T /Sprint/Time Warner Cable telecommunication service areas. Dry utilities would not provide service to the Project (or any new development), if there were not adequate supplies and infrastructure to maintain existing service levels and meet the anticipated demands of the specific development requesting service. The Project would be subject to compliance with Code of California Regulations Title 24 energy conservation standards. Additionally, the Project proposes a new onsite substation to meet Project demands. Therefore, the Project's incremental effects to dry utilities are not cumulatively considerable. b) Mitigation: No mitigation measures are required to reduce the aforementioned impacts below a level of significance for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project FEIR. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the FEIR and the record of proceedings do not identify or contain substantial evidence identifying significant environmental effects of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project with respect to wastewater treatment, water supplies, solid waste, and cumulative impacts to public utilities and service systems. D. Impacts Identified as Potentially Significant in the Initial Study But Which Can Be Reduced to Less - Than - Significant Levels with Mitigation Measures.^ The City Council finds that the following environmental effects were identified as Less Than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated in the FEIR, and implementation of the identified mitigation measures would avoid or lessen the potential environmental effects listed below to a level of significance. 17 227 1. Air Quality a) Facts /Effects: (1) Short -Term Air Quality Standards. The Project could violate an air quality standard or contribute substantially to an existing or projected air quality violation. Temporary impacts would result from Project construction activities. Short -term air emissions would result from particulate (fugitive dust) emissions from grading and building construction and exhaust emissions from the construction equipment and the motor vehicles of the construction crew. Implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ -1 through AQ -4 would lessen construction - related impacts by requiring measures to reduce air pollutant emissions from construction activities and reduce the impact of this environmental effect to a less than significant level. (2) Localized Emissions. Development associated with the Project could result in localized emissions impacts or expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. The Wilshire BoulevardNeteran Avenue intersection in Los Angeles experienced the highest CO concentration (4.6 parts per million [ppm]), which is well below the 35 -ppm 1 -hr CO Federal standard. The Wilshire BoulevardNeteran Avenue intersection is one of the most congested intersections in Southern California with an average daily traffic (ADT) volume of approximately 100,000 vehicles per day. Based on the Project Traffic Impact Analysis, none of the study intersections would have an average daily traffic volume greater than 100,000 vehicles per day. As a CO hotspot would not be experienced at the Wilshire BoulevardNeteran Avenue intersection, it can be reasonably inferred that CO hotspots would not be experienced at any study intersection. Implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ -1 through AQ -4 would lessen localized emissions impacts by requiring measures to reduce air pollutant emissions from construction activities and reduce the impact of this environmental effect to a less than significant level. (3) Cumulative Short -Term Construction Air Emissions. Short -term construction activities associated with implementation of the Proposed Project and other related cumulative projects would result in air pollutant emission impacts or expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Compliance with SCAQMD rules and regulations and Mitigation Measures AQ -1 through AQ -4 would reduce construction - related impacts to a less than significant level during construction. Thus, it can be reasonably inferred that the Project - related construction activities, in combination with those from other projects in the area, would not significantly deteriorate the local air quality. Cumulative construction - related impacts would be less than significant. 18 228 b) Mitigation: Mitigation Measures AQ -1 to AQ -4, asset forth in the EIR and MMRP. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the Project is conditioned to avoid or substantially lessen the potential air quality environmental effects as identified in the FEIR. 2. Geology and Soils. a) Facts /Effects: (1) Strong Seismic Ground Shaking. The Project could expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving strong seismic ground shaking. All structures associated with the proposed development must be designed to withstand this recommended "design - level" earthquake, as set forth in the latest edition of the CBC. The Report further recommends an in -depth seismic design analysis for structures over two stories. The potential adverse impacts to new structures due to strong, seismically- induced, vibratory ground motion would be sufficiently mitigated through proper seismic design. No significant geotechnical- related constraints that would preclude designing adequate foundations and structural elements for the taller structures are anticipated. Therefore, compliance with the CBC and ESMC, and the Geology and Soils Report's recommendations, which include the use of more stringent earthquake ground motions and in -depth seismic design analyses, would ensure that Project implementation and Mitigation Measure GEO -1 would result in a less than significant impact regarding the exposure of people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving strong seismic ground shaking. (2) Seismically - Induced Soil /Ground Settlement and Lurching. The Project could expose people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving strong seismic ground shaking. The geologic materials that underlie the Project site include a late Pleistocene age dune sand and undocumented artificial fill soils. From a geotechnical perspective, the older dune sands have sufficient soil engineering strengths to provide foundation support for the proposed structures. Additionally, ground lurching may occur on the Project site where deposits of loose dune sand and /or undocumented fill soils exist. Therefore, in compliance with ESMC § 14 -1 -9, a soils investigation of each lot in the proposed subdivision would be conducted and the appropriate corrective action recommended. Therefore, compliance with the CBC and ESMC, and the Geology and Soils Report's recommendations, which include removal of the undocumented fill soils and replacement as properly engineered fill, along with Mitigation Measure GEO -1 would ensure that Project implementation would result in a less than significant impact regarding the exposure of people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving seismically - induced soil /ground settlement and lurching. 19 229 (3) Unstable Geologic Unit or Soils. The proposed development could be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the Project, exposing people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects. During Project construction, excavations associated with remedial grading /ground stabilization and underground utilities would encounter the poorly unconsolidated /noncohesive artificial fill. If unsupported, these soils would be subject to sloughing and caving, hence creating a short -term hazard to construction workers and equipment. Therefore, compliance with the CBC and ESMC, and the Geology and Soils Report's recommendations, which include removal of the undocumented fill soils and replacement as properly engineered fill, as well as a slope design with a minimum factor of safety of 1.5, along with Mitigation Measure GEO -1, would ensure that Project implementation would result in a less than significant impact regarding the exposure of people or structures to potential substantial adverse effects involving unstable geologic units or soils. (4) Expansive Soils. The proposed development could be located on expansive soil creating substantial risks to life or property. Based on the results of the laboratory test performed by RGI, both native and undocumented clay soils are anticipated to exhibit a high expansion potential. Accordingly, the potential for expansive soils to impact new development is considered high. Therefore, compliance with the CBC and ESMC, and the Geology and Soils Report's recommendations, which include removal of all moderately to highly expansive clay soils and avoidance of clayey soils in compacted fill, along with Mitigation Measure GEO -1, would ensure that Project implementation would result in a less than significant impact regarding the creation of substantial risks to life or property by locating development on expansive soil. (5) Corrosive Soils. The proposed development could be located on corrosive soil creating damage to property. The near surface soils are mildly to moderately corrosive to ferrous metals in contact with these soils. Therefore, compliance with the CBC and ESMC, and the Geology and Soils Report's recommendations, which include conducting an evaluation of the nature and extent of corrosive soils, development of a corrosion mitigation plan, protection of buried metal piping, and Mitigation Measure GEO -1 would ensure that Project implementation would result in a less than significant impact regarding the creation of substantial risks to life or property by locating development on corrosive soil. b) Mitigation: Mitigation Measure GEO -1, as set forth in the EIR and MMRP. c) Finding: 20 230 The City Council finds that the substantially lessen the potential effects as identified in the FEIR. 4. Hazards and Hazardous Materials. a) Facts /Effects: Project is conditioned to avoid or geology and soils environmental (1) Construction- Related Accidental Release of Hazardous Materials. Short -term construction activities could create a significant hazard to the public or environment through accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials. Site disturbance /demolition activities could expose workers to a variety of potentially hazardous materials. Implementation of Mitigation Measures HAZ -1 through HAZ -5 would reduce potential impacts from site disturbance /demolition activities that would result in accidental conditions at the Project site. If unknown wastes or suspect materials are discovered during construction by the contractor, which he /she believes may involve hazardous wastes /materials, the contractor would be required to comply with Mitigation Measure HAZ -6, which requires the contractors to immediately stop work in the vicinity of the suspected contaminant, removing workers and the public from the area, secure the areas, as directed by the City Engineer and notify the El Segundo Fire Department. With implementation of Mitigation Measures HAZ -1 through HAZ -6 and compliance with applicable Federal, State, and local regulatory requirements, potential impacts through accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials would be reduced to less than significant levels. (2) Operations. Project operations could create a significant hazard to the public or environment through the handling, storage, and /or use of hazardous materials, as well as accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials. Based on the moderate potential for contaminated groundwater underlying the Project site, vapor intrusion into proposed structures as a result of these contamination plumes could occur. With implementation of Mitigation Measure HAZ -5, a qualified site characterization specialist would be required to conduct updated site characterization at the Project site before issuance of any Building Permits, in consultation with the ESFD, with regard to onsite contaminated soils and groundwater. Upon completion of site characterization activities, remedial activities, if necessary, would be recommended in consultation with ESFD and /or other applicable agencies. Also, before the City issued any building permit, vapor intrusion investigations would be required to be conducted by a qualified Environmental Professional, in consultation with the ESFD (Mitigation Measure HAZ -7). Should the Environmental Professional determine that proposed buildings could be impacted by vapor intrusion, the Environmental Professional, in consultation with ESFD, would recommend specific design measures to be incorporated into the buildings' design that would reduce these indoor air quality concentrations to below regulatory thresholds, as directed by ESFD. With implementation of Mitigation Measures HAZ -5 and HAZ -7, impacts 21 231 to persons at the Project site as a result of vapor intrusion would be reduced to less than significant. (3) Interference With An Adopted EmeLgency Emergency Response Or Evacuation Plan. Project operations could create a significant hazard to the public or environment through interference with an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan. The General Plan Public Safety Element states that it is the City's goal to periodically review and reevaluate the City's Emergency Operation's Plan, to ensure adequate evacuation routes and street widths, emergency services, equipment, shelters, and all other major needs that could arise in the event of a disaster. Project implementation could affect access along El Segundo Boulevard during construction of the proposed roadway improvements (which could temporarily block emergency access and /or evacuation routes). Any such impacts would be limited to the construction period and would only affect El Segundo Boulevard in the Project vicinity, and as such, would be unlikely to interfere with emergency response vehicles (e.g., fire, police, or ambulance). Also, the Project must adhere to HAZ -8, which requires future development to notify the El Segundo Fire, Police, Public Works and Planning and Building Safety Departments of construction activities that would impede movement (such as road or lane closures) along roadways immediately adjacent to the development area, to allow for uninterrupted emergency access and maintenance of evacuation routes. Given that access would be impeded only temporarily, and since only partial roadway closure would occur, with implementation of recommended Mitigation Measure HAZ -8, the Project would not interfere with an adopted emergency response or evacuation plan. Impacts in this regard would be reduced to less than significant. b) Mitigation: Mitigation Measures HAZ -1 to HAZ -8, as set forth in the EIR and MMRP. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the Project is conditioned to avoid or substantially lessen the potential hazards and hazardous materials environmental effects at the Project site as identified in the FEIR. 5. Hydrology and Water Quality. a) Facts /Effects: (1) Long -Term Operational Impacts. Project implementation could alter existing drainage patterns, result in increased run -off amounts, and degrade water quality. The Project could require or result in the construction of new storm water drainage facilities or expansion of existing facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental effects. The site's drainage patterns upon Project implementation are relatively minor offsite flow from El Segundo Boulevard and the property to the south would continue unobstructed to combine with onsite flows. The 22 232 Project area would continue to drain northwest to southeast. Reconfiguration of site roadways and replacement of existing buildings and surface parking lots with new buildings and parking lots /structures would result in changes to drainage patterns and amounts of impervious surfaces. However, proposed drainage sub -areas would closely match existing sub - areas. Implementation of Mitigation Measures HWQ -1 and HWQ -2 and compliance with NPDES and ESMC requirements would reduce potential impacts to long -term water quality to less than significant levels. b) Mitigation: Mitigation Measures HWQ -1 to HWQ -2, as set forth in the EIR and MMRP. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the Project is conditioned to avoid or substantially lessen the potential hydrology and water quality environmental effects at the Project site as identified in the FEIR. 6. Noise. a) Facts /Effects. (1) Short -Term Construction Noise Impacts. Grading and construction associated with Project implementation could result in significant temporary noise impacts to nearby noise sensitive receptors. Construction activities would begin in one specific development area and subsequently move to the other specific development areas. Therefore, construction would not occur in any one location for an extended period of time. All future development within the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan area would be subject to compliance with the implementing policies of the El Segundo General Plan Noise Element and ESMC Chapter 7 -2 (Noise and Vibration). Additionally, implementation of Mitigation Measure N -1 would reduce construction noise associated with future development by requiring preparation of a Construction Noise Management Plan that includes limiting construction to the less noise sensitive periods of the day (i.e., between the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM per ESMC § 7 -2 -10) and ensuring that proper operating procedures are followed during construction so that nearby sensitive receptors are not adversely affected by noise and vibration (i.e., pursuant to the standards set forth in ESMC § 7 -2 -4). Therefore, following compliance with the ESMC and implementation of Mitigation Measure N -1, impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level. (2) Short -Term Construction Noise Impacts. Construction activities associated with the proposed Project and cumulative projects may overlap, resulting in construction noise in the area. However, as analyzed above, construction noise impacts primarily affect the areas immediately adjacent to the construction site. Construction noise for the proposed Project was determined to be less than significant following compliance with the ESMC and Mitigation Measure N -1. Thus, as construction noise is localized in nature and drops off rapidly from the source, and with implementation of Project- specific mitigation 23 233 measures, less than significant cumulative construction - related noise impacts would result. b) Mitigation: Mitigation Measure N -1, as set forth in the EIR and MMRP. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the Project is conditioned to avoid or substantially lessen the potential operational noise environmental effects as identified in the FEIR. 7. Transportation and Traffic a) FactslEffects (1) Intersection Level of Service (including Cumulative Impacts). With implementation of mitigation measures, Project impacts involving the following intersections would be reduced to less than significant: Forecast Long -Range With Project Buildout Conditions Study Intersection • Intersection 49 (Aviation Boulevard /Utah Avenue). Forecast Long- Range With Project Buildout Conditions State Highway Study Intersection • Intersection 57 (1 -405 SB3 Ramps/El Segundo Boulevard). b) Mitigation: Mitigation Measure TRA -4 and TRA -9, as set forth in the EIR and MMRP. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the Project is conditioned to avoid or substantially lessen the traffic impacts at the aforementioned intersections as identified in the FEIR. E. Significant Unavoidable Effects that Cannot be Mitigated to a Level of Insignificance. The City Council finds that the following environmental effects were identified as Significant and Unavoidable in the FEIR. Implementation of the identified mitigation measures would lessen the potential environmental effects to the extent feasible but not below a level of significance. 1. Land Use and Planning a) Facts /Effects. General Plan Policies. The proposed ESSCSP is determined to be consistent with the relevant General Plan Policies, excluding Circulation Element Policies C1 -1.2, C1 -1.5, and C1 -1.10. Therefore, the Project would result in a significant and unavoidable impact regarding conflicts with Circulation Element Policies C1 -1.2, C1 -1.5, and C1 -1.10. 24 234 ?1 Mitigation: No feasible mitigation is available. 2. Air Quality. a) Facts/Effects. (1) Long -Term Air Emissions. Despite implementation of the Project Design Features, ESMC Chapter 15 -16 TDM and trip reduction measures, and Mitigation Measure GHG -1, the operational mitigated emissions would remain above SCAQMD thresholds for ROG, NOx, and CO. Therefore, impacts in this regard would be significant and unavoidable. (2) AQMP Consistency. Although, the Project's long -term influence would be consistent with the AQMP and SCAG's goals and policies, the Projects exceedance of operational ROG, NOx, and CO thresholds would potentially result in a long -term impact on the region's ability to meet State and Federal air quality standards. Therefore, impacts associated with AQMP compliance would be significant and unavoidable. (2) Cumulative Emissions. Operational activities would create a significant and unavoidable impact due to exceedances of SCAQMD thresholds for ROG, NOx, and CO. Implementation of recommended Mitigation Measures GHG -1 would reduce impacts; however, a significant and unavoidable impact would remain. Mitigation: Mitigation Measure GHG -1, as set forth in the EIR and MMRP. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the Project is conditioned to lessen the long- term air quality effects at the Project site as identified in the FEIR. The long -term, AQMP consistency and cumulative air quality impacts of the Project cannot be mitigated below the threshold of significance. 3. Greenhouse Gas Emissions. a) Facts/Effects, (1) Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Implementation of the proposed Project Design Features, and compliance with ESMC requirements and Mitigation Measure GHG -1 would reduce Project - related GHG emissions to 5.9 MTCO2eq per capita per year, which would exceed the 4.8 MTCO2eq per capita per year project level GHG threshold. Therefore, impacts in this regard would be significant and unavoidable. (2) Cumulative Greenhouse Gas Emissions. As stated above, Project - related GHG emissions would be significant and unavoidable despite the Project Design features, and implementation of ESMC requirements and Mitigation Measure GHG -1. Therefore, the Project's 25 235 cumulative GHG emissions would be considered significant and unavoidable. b) Mitigation: Mitigation Measure GHG -1, as set forth in the EIR and MMRP. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the Project is conditioned to lessen the greenhouse gas environmental effects at the Project as identified in the FEIR. The impacts involving Project and cumulative greenhouse gas emissions cannot be mitigated below the threshold of significance. 4. Transportation and Traffic. a) Facts /Effects. Intersection Level of Service (including Cumulative impacts). Despite implementation of all feasible mitigation measures, Project impacts involving the following intersections would remain significant and unavoidable: Near -Term With Phase 1 Project Conditions Study Area Intersection • Intersection 48 (Aviation Boulevard/El Segundo Boulevard, El Segundo /Hawthorne). Forecast Long -Range With Project Buildout (Cumulative) Conditions Study Area Intersections • Intersection 29 (Nash Street /Maple Avenue, El Segundo); • Intersection 32 (Nash Street/El Segundo Boulevard, El Segundo); • Intersection 38 (Douglas Street/El Segundo Boulevard, El Segundo); • Intersection 48 (Aviation Boulevard/El Segundo Boulevard, El Segundo /Hawthorne); • Intersection 50 (Aviation Boulevard /Alaska Avenue, El Segundo /Hawthorne); • Intersection 51 (Aviation Boulevard /Rosecrans Avenue, El Segundo /Hawthorne/ Manhattan Beach); • Intersection 53 (Aviation Boulevard /Marine Avenue, Hawthorne /Manhattan Beach/ Redondo Beach); • Intersection 55 (Aviation Boulevard /Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Manhattan Beach /Redondo Beach); • Intersection 62 (La Cienega Boulevard/El Segundo Boulevard, Hawthorne /Los Angeles County); and • Intersection 69 (Sepulveda Boulevard /Manchester Avenue, City of Los Angeles). Forecast Lonq -Range With Project Buildout (Cumulative) Conditions State Highway Study Intersections • Intersection 7 (Sepulveda Boulevard (SR -1) /Lincoln Avenue, Caltrans /CMP); and • Intersection 13 (Sepulveda Boulevard (SR -1) /Mariposa Avenue, Caltrans/CMP). 26 236 Forecast Long -Range With Project Buildout (Cumulative) Conditions CMP Study Intersections • Intersection 7 (Sepulveda Boulevard (SR -1) /Lincoln Avenue, Caltrans /CMP); • Intersection 15 (Sepulveda Blvd (SR -1) /EI Segundo Blvd, Caltrans /CMP); • Intersection 18 (Sepulveda Blvd (SR- 1) /Rosecrans Avenue, Caltrans /CMP); • Intersection 69 (Sepulveda Blvd /Manchester Ave, Los Angeles City /CMP); • Intersection 70 (Pacific Coast Hwy (SR -1) /Artesia Blvd, Manhattan Beach /Hermosa Beach /Caltrans /CMP); and • Intersection 71 (Pacific Coast Hwy (SR- 1)/Torrance Blvd, Redondo Beach/ Caltrans /CMP). b) Mitigations: Mitigation Measures TRA -1 to TRA -10, as set forth in the EIR and MMRP. c) Finding: The City Council finds that the Project is conditioned to lessen the traffic impacts environmental effects from the Project as identified in the FEIR. The traffic impacts of the Project cannot be mitigated below the threshold of significance. F. Growth Inducing Impacts. The City Council finds on the basis of the FEIR and the record of proceedings in this matter that there are no significant growth inducing impacts. G. Project alternatives. 1. Alternatives Considered but Rejected. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15126.6(c), an EIR should identify any alternatives that were considered for analysis but rejected as infeasible and briefly explain the reasons for their rejection. According to the CEQA Guidelines, among the factors that may be used to eliminate alternatives from detailed consideration are the alternative's failures to meet most of the basic project objectives, the alternative's infeasibility, or the alternative's inability to avoid significant environmental impacts. There are no alternatives that were considered and rejected. 2. No Project/No Development Alternative. a) Description. The 142 -acre site is generally triangular shaped and level (encompasses Assessor Parcel Numbers 4138 - 014 -013 and -047). Excluding the El Segundo Boulevard right -of -way (ROW), the Project site totals approximately 137 acres. The property is currently developed with the Raytheon Company's Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) facility. The existing SAS facility is locally referred to as the "South Campus." Eleven (11) buildings are located at the central core of the Campus, with vast surface parking lots (20 lots containing 6,873 parking spaces) located 27 237 around their perimeter. These existing buildings are constructed in a modern architectural style, at a maximum height of approximately 37 feet. The No Project/No Development Alternative would retain the Project site in its current condition. With this Alternative, the site would remain developed with the existing SAS facility and related 11 buildings and surface parking lots. Under the No Project/No Build Alternative, the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan would not be adopted and an increased density beyond what exists on the property would not occur. Two new land use types (i.e., commercial and light industrial) would not be introduced, as are proposed by the Project. None of the proposed amendments to the El Segundo General Plan (General Plan), the General Plan Map, the Zoning Map or the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) would be implemented. None of the improvements proposed as part of Tentative Map No. 71551 would be constructed and the property would not be subdivided into 26 separate parcels. Proposed improvements to the City's transportation circulation system, including enhancements to the City's roadway network (EI Segundo Boulevard, and Continental Boulevard and Nash Street extensions), and bicycle and pedestrian networks, would not be constructed. The existing surface parking lots would remain. The No Project/No Development Alternative would maintain the existing land uses, and no structures would be demolished. Office, laboratory, manufacturing, and warehouse land uses are located on the South Campus totaling approximately 2,089,090 gross square feet and a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.29. Office uses would continue to predominate among the site's existing land uses, comprising approximately 1.2 million gross square feet, or one -half of the Campus' floor area. The South Campus would continue to provide the existing private outdoor recreational uses that include tennis and basketball courts, and baseball fields at the northwest corner of the property. b) Finding. The City Council finds that the No Project /No Development Alternative would not attain most of the Project's basic objectives. It would not contribute to the Project's objective to create job opportunities or increase the City's economic base. This Alternative would only partially meet two of the Project objectives, since Raytheon's existing business operations would continue to contribute to the business climate that fosters a strong economic community and provides a positive contribution to the maintenance and expansion of the City's economic base. However, new employment would not be generated. It would not meet the Project objectives of providing a range of commercial and industrial uses that would contribute to job creation opportunities or to provide multimodal improvements to the City's transportation circulation system, including enhancements to the City's roadway network, bicycle and pedestrian networks, and increase office and commercial density in close proximity to an existing light rail station. 3. No Promect/Existing Entitlement Alternative. a) Description. The No Project/Existing Entitlement Alternative proposes development of what would be reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future, if the Project were not approved, based on the property's current adopted entitlement. As discussed in detail in Section 3.2, Background and History, of the FEIR, the 28 238 Hughes Corporation received approval from the City in 1978 for a Precise Plan that originally approved a maximum of 2,575,000 gross square feet of development on the property, which resulted in a FAR of 0.42. Over the course of site development, various changes to the originally approved Precise Plan, including additional restrictions on the maximum allowable development on the site, were made at the request of Hughes Corporation. Development on the property is currently restricted to what is allowed under the existing amended entitlement (Precise Plan 3 -78 Amendment #3 (approved as Resolution 2166 Amended August 13, 1987)), which is 2,017,903 net square feet, allowing an additional 215,459 net square feet over the existing 1,802,444 net square feet. In accordance with the existing amended entitlement and assuming approximately 14 percent of the floor area would be exempt, the No Project/Existing Entitlement Alternative limits development on the property to the total identified in Precise Plan 3 -78 Amendment #3 of 2,338,814 gross square feet, allowing an additional 249,724 gross square feet over existing 2,089,090 gross square feet. Under the No Project/Existing Entitlement Alternative, no existing land uses would be demolished and the new development would follow the Campus' existing land use pattern, which involves office, laboratory, manufacturing, and warehouse uses. With this Alternative, the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan would not be adopted and the onsite development intensity would be limited to what is allowed by the Precise Plan. None of the proposed amendments to the El Segundo General Plan (General Plan), General Plan Map, Zoning Map or the ESMC would be implemented, rather the new development would proceed in accordance with the Project site's existing land use designations and zoning. None of the improvements proposed as part of Tentative Map No. 71551 would be constructed and the property would not be subdivided into 26 separate parcels. Proposed improvements to the City's transportation circulation system, including enhancements to the City's roadway network (EI Segundo Boulevard, and Continental Boulevard and Nash Street extensions), and bicycle and pedestrian networks, would not be constructed. This Alternative involves development of approximately 141,169 gross square feet of office, 42,092 gross square feet of laboratory, 51,764 gross square feet of manufacturing, and 14,699 gross square feet of warehouse uses. The No Project /Existing Entitlement Alternative would include laboratory and manufacturing uses, which are not proposed by the Project, and exclude the Project's light industrial and commercial uses. This Alternative also proposes significantly less office and warehouse uses than the Project. Overall, this Alternative proposes approximately 88 percent less development than the Project. b) Finding. The No Project/Existing Entitlement Alternative would allow onsite development in accordance with the existing amended Precise Plan (Resolution 2166, as amended on August 13, 1987), for an additional 249,724 gross square feet of land uses above existing conditions. Although to a significantly lesser degree than the proposed Project, this Alternative would meet two of the Project objectives by contributing to the business climate that fosters a strong economic community and providing a positive contribution to the maintenance and expansion of the City's economic base. It would not meet the Project objectives of providing a range of commercial and industrial uses that would contribute to job creation opportunities or to provide multimodal improvements to the City's transportation circulation system, including enhancements to the City's roadway network, bicycle and ce 239 pedestrian networks, and increase office and commercial density in close proximity to an existing light rail station. 4. Alternative Site Alternative. As previously noted, among the factors that may be taken into account when addressing the feasibility of alternatives are site suitability and whether the proponent can reasonably acquire, control, or otherwise have access to the alternative site (or the site is already owned by the proponent). Only locations that would avoid or substantially lessen any of the Project's significant effects need be considered for inclusion. The Applicant does not retain any ownership rights to other properties within the City limits and there are no other infill sites available that are adequately sized and environmentally compatible. The largest undeveloped land area available in the City is approximately 54 acres located east of Sepulveda Boulevard on Rosecrans Avenue, adjacent to the existing Plaza El Segundo Shopping Center and "The Point" Shopping Center, which is the currently under construction. This site is crossed by various rail lines complicating development of the site. The site also has limited street access and limited means to create access across the site or to create multiple access points to major roadways. Therefore, no potentially feasible alternative site alternatives were identified as available for analysis. 5. Raytheon Only Alternative. a) Description_ The Raytheon Only Alternative would be generally the same as the proposed Project in that it would involve approval of a Specific Plan that would establish a maximum allowable development within the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan area of 4,231,547 gross square feet, or an additional 2,142,457 gross square feet over existing conditions. However, the Project's proposed commercial (retail /restaurant) uses would be excluded with this Alternative and replaced by additional office, warehousing, and light industrial uses. As with the proposed Project, this Alternative involves the following entitlements: a Specific Plan; General Plan and General Plan Land Use Element Map Amendments; Zone Change and Zone Text Amendment; and a Vesting Tentative Map subdividing the property into separate parcels. Additionally, the Raytheon Only Alternative assumes the Applicant's current Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program, which achieves an average daily trip (ADT) reduction of approximately 22 percent, is implemented also for the proposed office, warehousing, and light industrial uses. This Alternative assumes the following land uses: approximately 1,882,830 square feet of office; 79,075 square feet of warehouse; and 180,553 square feet of light industrial. Similar to the proposed Project, this Alternative would enable development with any combination of permitted land uses, provided that the FAR does not exceed the specified development square footage (at a maximum FAR of 0.6) and that the resultant peak hour vehicle trips do not exceed the specified peak hour trip ceiling. As compared to the proposed Project, the Raytheon Only Alternative would exclude commercial uses (148,960 square feet) and include approximately 7.5 percent more office, warehouse, and light industrial uses (approximately 130,909 square feet, 5,498 square feet, and 12,553 square feet, respectively). 30 E b) Finding. The Raytheon Only Alternative would be generally the same as the proposed Project (except for exclusion of commercial uses) in that it would involve approval of a Specific Plan that would allow an additional 2,142,457 gross square feet over existing conditions. Additionally, it would result in only nominally less employment (approximately one percent). However, this Alternative would meet Project Objectives 2 and 3 to a lesser degree. Regarding Objective 2, this Alternative would provide a more limited range of uses and limitation to the existing employer. Regarding Objective 3, the economic base expansion under this Alternative would be limited to one employer, causing sales tax instability. 6. Conceptual Plan with Coral Circle Connection Alternative. a) Description. The Conceptual Plan With Coral Circle Connection Alternative (Coral Circle Alternative) would be the same as the proposed Project in every respect, except one: this Alternative also involves a connection to Coral Circle, between and including portions of Lots 20 and 22, near the southeast corner of the Project site. Specifically, the Coral Circle Alternative involves constructing a connection between the proposed Nash Street extension and Coral Circle's existing southern leg, near the Project site's southeast corner. A 60 -foot ROW would be dedicated, consistent with Coral Circle's classification as a Local Street. Construction of the Coral Circle connection would occur before the City issued any certificate of occupancy for the Phase II development. This Alternative involves providing the Coral Circle ROW improvements, including curb /gutter, parkway trees, and roadway paving among others, pursuant to ESMC Chapter 15 -24A, which outlines the standards /requirements for ROW dedications and improvements. b) Finding. The Conceptual Plan With Coral Circle Connection Alternative (Coral Circle Alternative) would be the same as the proposed Project in every respect, except the Coral Circle connection. Therefore, this Alternative would meet all of the Project objectives, as outlined above. 7. Environmentally Superior Alternative. In compliance with Public Resources Code §15126.6(d), a matrix displaying the major characteristics and significant environmental effects of each alternative is included in the FEIR; see Table 7 -15, Comparison of Alternatives. The purpose of this matrix is to summarize a comparison of project alternatives. Pursuant to Public Resources Code §15126.6, it is required that one alternative be identified as the environmentally superior alternative. Furthermore, if the environmentally superior alternative is the "No Project" alternative, the FEIR must also identify the environmentally superior alternative from among the other alternatives. As indicated in FEIR Table 7 -15, the No Project/No Development Alternative is identified as the environmentally superior alternative. Among the other alternatives, the environmentally superior alternative is the Raytheon Only Alternative. This Alternative would generally lessen the impacts associated Project development, because it would involve different land uses and approximately 35 percent less traffic. Additionally, because the Raytheon Only Alternative would be 31 241 generally the same as the proposed Project and would result in nominally less employment (approximately one percent less), this Alternative would meet all of the Project objectives (although, some to a lesser degree than the Project). III. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS The City Council finds on the basis of the FEIR and the entire administrative record for this matter that the unavoidable significant impacts of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project as discussed in Section II.D. above are acceptable when balanced against the benefits of the Project. This determination is based on the following substantial public and social factors as identified in the FEIR and the record of proceedings in the matter. Each Project objective /benefit set forth below constitutes an overriding consideration warranting approval of the Project. 1. The project will help foster economic development in the City by contributing to a strong business climate, with positive outcomes such as business retention and attraction, as well as effective levels of City services to all members of the community. 2. Provide the opportunity for the City's largest employer to grow and expand its operations within the City. This will aid in business retention efforts for the aerospace industry, historically a major industry in the region. 3. Create a Specific Plan with a range of commercial and industrial uses that will contribute to job creation opportunities and balance growth with local resources and infrastructure capacity. Full build out of the Project is estimated to create 4,598 new jobs within the Project area. In addition numerous temporary jobs will be created as part of project construction. 4. Increase the City's tax base including utility user tax, property tax and sales tax, and therefore provide the City with resources to provide high - quality services to residents and the daytime population. The applicant submitted a Gross Fiscal Impact and Economic Benefit Analysis, prepared by the Kosmont Companies (August 2015). That analysis estimates future increased annual City tax revenue at $2.6 million dollars if the project is fully built out. This would represent an approximate 4.3% increase in the City's general fund revenues as reported for the 2014 -2015 fiscal year adopted budget. 5. Six annual payments will be made to the City beginning on March 31, 2016 and ending March 31, 2021. The first annual payment is $500,000 and the subsequent five annual payments are $700,000 each. The total amount of the six required payments is $4,000,000. If the Nash Street extension roadway improvements are not completed within 10 years of the project approval date then an additional $5,000,000 payment will be made to the City. All payments will be deposited into the City's General Fund and may be used for any purpose determined by the City Council. 6. A $.50 per square foot fee for all new development on the site is required. All revenue from this fee will be deposited into the City's General Fund. 7. Enhance the City's roadway network through the addition of a fourth traffic lane on El Segundo Boulevard and construction of the Nash Street roadway extension, a roadway link planned for in the El Segundo General Plan Circulation Element. 8. Providing opportunities for future roadway links, such as potential public use of a roadway extending Continental Boulevard, potential to create an east -west connection between Nash Street and Coral Circle, and potential roadway access to the east side of the City's golf- course. 32 242 9. Bicycle and pedestrian network improvements. The bicycle network improvements are consistent with the recently adopted South Bay Bicycle Plan which provides a blueprint for a regional bicycle network. 10. The Project will increase density close to the existing Metro Green -line light rail station consistent with regional planning programs and plans, such as the SCAG Regional Transportation Plan /Sustainable Communities Strategy and the Compass Blueprint Growth Vision Program. The project site is within the Compass Blueprint 2% Strategy Opportunity Areas" which identifies 2% of the region's land area where investing planning efforts and resources will yield the greatest progress towards improving, mobility, livability, prosperity and sustainability. 11. The increase in density close to the existing Metro Green Line light rail station is also consistent with four General Plan Land Use Element policies (LU4 -3.2, LU 4 -4.4, LU 4- 4.6, and LU4 -4.8) promoting denser mixed use development within a quarter mile of the City's existing Green -line stations. 12. A potential opportunity where 25% of the costs upgrading the City sewer line in El Segundo Boulevard is paid for by the Project applicant. 13. A potential opportunity for a private 7.54 -acre recreational /open space area to be provided to the City for park purposes open to the public. IV. RECIRCULATION. Facts. The City received comments on the DEIR from members of the public and from public agencies in both written and oral form. The FEIR contains written responses to all comments ( "Responses to Comments ") received on the DEIR as of November 14, 2014. Some comments were incorporated into the FEIR as factual corrections and minor changes. The FEIR includes all factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR. All comments and testimony received prior to and at the City Council's public hearing have been considered. Finding. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15088.5 and Public Resources Code § 21092.1, and based on the FEIR and the record of proceedings in for the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Project, the City Council finds that: 1. Factual corrections and minor changes are set forth as additions and corrections to the DEIR; and 2. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR are not substantial changes in the DEIR that would deprive the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment on a substantial adverse environmental effect of the Rosecrans /Sepulveda Site Rezoning and Plaza El Segundo Development, a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect, or a feasible Project alternative; and 3. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR will not result in new significant environmental effects or substantially increase the severity of the significant effects previously disclosed in the DEIR; and 33 243 4. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR will not involve mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the DEIR that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment; and 5. The factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR do not render the DEIR so fundamentally inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comment would be precluded. Thus, the City Council finds that none of the conditions set forth in CEQA Guideline § 15088.5 or Public Resources Code § 21092.1 requiring recirculation of a draft environmental impact report were met. The City Council further finds that incorporation of the factual corrections and minor changes to the DEIR into the FEIR does not require that the FEIR to be recirculated for public comment. V. SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE. The City Council finds and declares that substantial evidence for each and every finding made herein is contained in the FEIR, which is incorporated herein by this reference, and in the record of proceedings in the matter.

DA 11 -02; ADDING ESMC § 15- 3- 2(A)(10) AND AMENDING ESMC § 15- 3 -2(A) FOR THE EL SEGUNDO SOUTH CAMPUS SPECIFIC PLAN PROJECT AT 2000 -2100 EAST EL SEGUNDO BOULEVARD. The City Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows: SECTION 1: Environmental Assessment. Resolution No. adopted a Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) for this Project which, among other things, properly assesses the environmental impact of this Ordinance, and the Project, in accordance with CEQA. This Ordinance incorporates by reference the environmental findings and analysis set forth in Resolution No. SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The factual findings and conclusions set forth in Resolution No. , adopted on December 1, 2015, are incorporated as if fully set forth. SECTION 3: Zone Change Findings. Pursuant to ESMC Chapter 15 -26, the City Council finds as follows: A. Based upon the findings in Section 2, the proposed Zone Change is necessary to carry out the proposed project because the proposed General Plan Amendment would change the land use classification of the project site from Light Industrial (M -1) to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP). The proposed Zone Change is necessary to maintain consistency with the proposed General Plan land use designation of El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. B. ESMC Title 15 is intended to be the primary tool for implementing the goals, objectives and policies of the El Segundo General Plan. The zone change will maintain consistency with the proposed change in General Plan land use designation to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan and is also consistent with the General Plan goals, objectives and policies. SECTION 4: ESMC § 15- 3- 2(A)(10) is added to read as follows: "10. El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan WE There is one zone intended to be used within the boundaries of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. The zone is: ESSCSP - El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan" SECTION 5: Specific Plan Findings. The proposed creation of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) is desirable to implement the proposed project. Without amending the ESMC, the current zoning would not permit mixed use development with an overall maximum 0.6 FAR based on the 142.2 gross acre size of the project area. An amendment to ESMC § 15- 3 -2(A) to create the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSCSP) is necessary for consistency with the General Plan. SECTION 6: Development Agreement Findings. Pursuant to City Council Resolution No. 3268, adopted June 26, 1984, the City Council finds that: A. The project is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the general plan and any applicable specific plan. The Development Agreement would provide multiple public benefits (as set forth in the Development Agreement) in exchange for valuable development rights (ten -year entitlement with a five -year extension option). B. The project is compatible with the uses authorized in, and the regulations prescribed for, the land use district in which the real property is located. The proposed project includes a new land use designation and zoning classification, which establishes the permitted uses and development standards that would apply to the project. These uses and development standards are similar and compatible with the other commercially zoned districts in the City. C. The project conforms to public convenience, general welfare and good land use practice. The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan includes a range of commercial and industrial uses that will contribute to job creation opportunities and balance growth with local resources and infrastructure capacity. The project will also provide new roadway links in locations identified as needing future roadways in the General Plan Circulation Element, as well as provide new bicycle and pedestrian network improvements. D. The project will not be detrimental to health, safety and general welfare. An EIR was completed to evaluate the project are reviewed issue areas such as Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Air Quality, and Noise. All feasible mitigation has been incorporated into the project to reduce or eliminate potential impacts and to maintain public health, safety and general welfare. 2 250 E. The project will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values. This project is surrounded by previously developed commercial land and the proposed uses of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan are consistent with surrounding development and will not adversely affect the value of neighboring properties. The proposed El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan development standards and development agreement will ensure that the project will be developed in an orderly fashion. All mitigation measures will be implemented at the time and place impacts occur. SECTION 7: Actions. The City Council takes the following actions: A. ESMC § 15- 3- 2(A)(10) is added to read as follows: "10. El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan There is one zone intended to be used within the boundaries of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. The zone is: ESSCSP - El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan" B. The City's Zoning Map is amended by changing the Project site from "Light Industrial" to "El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan." The corresponding changes to the Zoning Map are set forth in attached Exhibit 'A" which is incorporated into this Ordinance by reference. C. The "El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan" is adopted as set forth in attached Exhibit "B," which is incorporated into this Ordinance by reference. D. The Development Agreement by and between the City of El Segundo and the Raytheon Corporation, as set forth in attached Exhibit "C," and incorporated into this Ordinance by reference, is approved. The Mayor is authorized to execute the Development Agreement in a form approved by the City Attorney. E. To the extent they are not otherwise adopted or approved by this Ordinance, and subject to the conditions listed on attached Exhibit "D," which are incorporated into this Ordinance by reference, the City Council approves Zone Change and Zoning Map Amendment No. ZC 11 -02, Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 11 -01, Specific Plan No. SP 11 -01, and Development Agreement No. DA 11 -02. SECTION 8: Technical Corrections. The City Manager, or designee, is authorized 3 251 to make technical corrections, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to maps, diagrams, tables, and other, similar, documents (collectively, "Maps ") that may be required to reconcile the changes made by this Ordinance with amendments made to the Zoning Map by other City Council action in unrelated land use applications. SECTION 9: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Ordinance are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole. SECTION 10: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the Project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council's knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework. SECTION 11: 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 12: Effectiveness of SSMC. Repeal or amendment of any provision of the ESMC will not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance. SECTION 13: Recordation. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law. SECTION 14: 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. 0 252 SECTION 15: 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 December 2015.

INTRODUCTION A. SPECIFIC PLAN AREA The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSC -SP) area is located in the City of El Segundo, County of Los Angeles, California. El Segundo is situated 15 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles. The City of El Segundo is located south of the City of Los Angeles, west of the City of Hawthorne and the County of Los Angeles, north of the City of Manhattan Beach, and the east of the City of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean (refer to Exhibit 1, Regional Vicinity Map). More specifically, the roughly 142.28 gross acre Campus site ( "Campus ") is located in the southeast quadrant of the City of El Segundo, approximately 1.0 miles south of the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and the Glen Anderson Century Freeway (1 -105), two miles west of the San Diego Freeway (SR -405), and approximately two miles west of the juncture of these two freeways. The Campus is bounded by El Segundo Boulevard to the north, the elevated MTA Line and an older industrial subdivision on Coral Circle to the east, a Union Pacific Railroad spur and the El Segundo sump to the south, and a Southern California Edison high voltage transmission easement to the west (refer to Exhibit 2, Local Vicinity Map, and Exhibit 3, Local Vicinity Aerial View). The adjacent zoning uses are: corporate office and mixed -use to the north, across El Segundo Boulevard; light manufacturing to the east and south; and open space and public facility to the west. A multi -media zone overlies the entire eastern half of the City, including the Specific Plan Area. B. BACKGROUND In 1978 a Precise Plan was approved for Hughes (which merged with Raytheon Company in December 1997) to build a total of 2,575,000 square feet of improvements on the Campus for a FAR of 0.42. The Precise Plan project consisted of two main components — an office tower of up to 16 stories to be located on the northwest portion of the Campus and a large low- profile complex housing the engineering and manufacturing components. The approval allowed Hughes to consolidate its corporate headquarters which was then in Culver City with its electro- optical data systems group which was already located elsewhere in El Segundo. The Campus was chosen by Hughes for the flexibility and consolidation potential made possible by the size of the property, the proximity to other Hughes' facilities, and the proximity to LAX - considerations that remain important today. Before the implementation of the Precise Plan, the Campus had been used primarily for farming.

Up until 1983 there was no official "Precise Plan" map. With Hughes' request to construct additional storage buildings in 1983, the City Council provided that the plan that was submitted with the amendment request would be the official Precise Plan which could only be modified with Planning Commission and City Council approval. In 1987, the City Council approved the last modification of the Precise Plan. Today there are 11 structures on the Campus, including the recreation facility, comprising approximately 1,802,513 square feet of net development, for an FAR of approximately 0.29 (refer to Exhibit 4, Existing Development). The current net square footage is broken down as follows between uses: • Office 1,018,959 s.f. • Laboratory 303,825 s.f. • Manufacturing 373,634 s.f. • Warehouse 106,095 s.f. More specifically, the structures shown on Exhibit 4 consist of: Table I -1 Existing Uses Building E-1 Use Office, Lab /R &D, Warehouse Net Square .... 996,871 E -2 Office, Lab /R &D, Warehouse 39,082 E -3 Office, Lab /R &D, Warehouse 28,383 E -4 1 Office, Lab /R &D, Warehouse 670,619 E -5 E -6 Office, Lab /R &D, Warehouse Office 1,705 2,263 E -7 Office, Lab /R &D, Warehouse 49,966 E -20 Warehouse 9,245 E -21 Office, Warehouse 3,951 E -23 Warehouse 428 E -24 Recreation* 0 Total 1,802,513 *Note: Building E -24 includes locker rooms, restroom and shower rooms which are non - assignable areas for purposes of net square footage. Draft Page S October 2015 266 EXHIBIT 4 EXISTING DEVELOPMENT Draft Page 6 October 2015 267 Under the existing approvals, only an additional 215,390 net square feet can be built for a total FAR of 0.325. With this FAR, the Property is extremely underdeveloped as both the General Plan and zoning for similar light industrial uses allow a 0.60 FAR as of right. Further, the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) was recently amended to clarify that the FAR is based on net square feet of development in the light manufacturing zone. Currently the Campus is built close to the maximum FAR currently allowed. The limitations caused by the Precise Plan have caused Raytheon to utilize property in other areas for its operations when the need arises. This creates inefficiency and unnecessary costs, as well as results in economic losses for the City. In order to make efficient use of the Campus, Raytheon filed for this Specific Plan in December 2011 along with other applications, including a General Plan Amendment, Zoning Amendment, and Tentative Map. The intent of the Specific Plan is to allow Raytheon to develop the Specific Plan area with any combination of allowed uses provided that the FAR does not exceed a specified development square footage (at a maximum FAR of 0.60 within the ESSCSP area) and the specified peak hour trip ceiling on new development (26,585 daily trips, 3042 a.m. peak hour trips and 3120 p.m. peak hour trips). The adoption of this Specific Plan will allow Raytheon to expand its operations, invest in the City of El Segundo, and make use of its property in a manner similar to adjacent properties. C. DEMOGRAPHICS According to the 2010 United States Census, as of 2010 El Segundo had a population of 16,654 persons and a total of 7410 dwelling units. From 2000 to 2010, El Segundo's population increased by 4 %. The 2009 Profile of the City of El Segundo prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments ( "SCAG ") indicates that as of 2008 there were 53,715 jobs in the City of El Segundo, which was 1.3% lower than the 2003 level. Raytheon employs approximately 7,000 of these employees. During the period from 2003 to 2008 there was a 13.2 % decrease in manufacturing jobs although manufacturing jobs remain the largest sector of jobs in the City. D. ECONOMIC CONTEXT El Segundo has a daytime population of approximately 85,000 persons compared to its resident population of approximately 17,000 persons. Through the years El Segundo has steadily moved away from heavy industrial and manufacturing uses towards more diversified commercial and professional uses. With the exception of the Chevron Refinery and the Air Products Chemical Plants, most heavy industrial uses have relocated outside of the City. El Segundo is home to many major corporations including Raytheon, Boeing, Chevron, Computer Sciences Corporation, DirecTV, Mattel, Xerox, Time Warner Cable, The Aerospace Corporation, and Northrop Grumman. Raytheon is the City's largest employer. Over the past few years there has been a net loss of jobs in the City. The potential for additional businesses and jobs that may be created by this Specific Plan will improve the overall economic health of the City, allowing the City to provide a high quality of municipal services to the benefit of the City's resident and business community.

PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY OF SPECIFIC PLAN The purpose of this Specific Plan is to provide a foundation for the proposed land uses on the subject property through the application of regulations, standards and design guidelines. The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan provides text and exhibits which describe the proposed land uses and associated guidelines. This Specific Plan is adopted pursuant to Government Code §§ 65450 through 65457. Pursuant to Government Code § 65450, a Specific Plan must include text and a diagram or diagrams which specify all of the following in detail: • The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space within the area covered by the plan. • The proposed distribution, location, extent, and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the land area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan. • Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. • A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public works projects and financing measures necessary to carry out the above items. • A discussion of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the General Plan. A thorough review of the El Segundo General Plan shows that this Specific Plan is compatible and consistent with the goals and policies outlined in the General Plan. This Specific Plan will further the goals and policies of the General Plan as more fully described below. This Specific Plan was prepared to provide the essential relationship between the policies of the El Segundo General Plan and actual development in the Project area. By functioning as a regulatory document, the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan provides a means of implementing the City of El Segundo's General Plan. All future development plans and entitlements within the Specific Plan boundaries must be consistent with the standards set forth in this document. Draft Page 9 October 2015 270 B. SPECIFIC PLAN SCOPE AND GOALS The City of El Segundo is an employment -led community and accordingly, development has been led by employment rather than housing growth. The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan will serve the mission of economic development in the City which is to create, maintain, and implement a business climate that fosters a strong economic community, develop a strategic plan that will result in business retention and attraction, provide an effective level of City services to all elements of the community, and maintain the quality of life that has characterized El Segundo for more than nine decades. Permitted uses within the Campus will create job opportunities and seek balance between growth, local resources, and infrastructure capacity. Additionally, the growth allowed by the Specific Plan will create a synergy with other uses in the area and help those businesses to grow as well. The development allowed under the Specific Plan will provide a basis for a positive contribution to the maintenance and expansion of El Segundo's economic base as development typically increases the City's business license taxes, increases the City's utility user taxes, increases the City's property taxes, and increases the City's sales taxes. An increased economic base will provide the City with resources to provide high - quality services to its residents and daytime population. C. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN The El Segundo General Plan provides the underlying fundamentals of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan, which serves both as a planning and regulatory document. The Specific Plan is the document implementing the El Segundo General Plan for the Campus area. Proposed development plans or agreements, tentative tract or parcel maps, and any other development approvals must be consistent with the Specific Plan. Projects consistent with this Specific Plan will be automatically deemed consistent with the General Plan. The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan requires a General Plan Amendment that changes the Land Use Designation from Light Industrial, Public Facility and Open Space to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan with an accompanying Land Use map change. With approval of this amendment, the Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan of the City of El Segundo.

ENTITLEMENTS The following entitlements are required in conjunction with this Specific Plan (SP No. 11 -01): • General Plan Amendment No. l l -01 to change the land use designation from Light Industrial, Public Facility and Open Space to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan with an accompanying Land Use map change. • Zone Text Amendment No. 11 -01 to: 1) add "El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan" to El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") §15 -3 -1; and 2) add a new ESMC § 15- 3- 2(A)(8) "El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan." • Zone Change No. 11 -02 to rezone the property from Light Manufacturing, Open Space and Public Facility to El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan. • Development Agreement No. 11 -02 between the City of El Segundo and Raytheon Company. • Vesting Tentative Map # 71551— dividing the Specific Plan Area into 26 individual lots. Findings justifying the General Plan Amendment and Zone Change include: 1. The Specific Plan designation is intended to provide more flexibility for the development of a master - planned Campus that will be constructed in several phases. 2. The primary objective of the Specific Plan is to provide for superior, more comprehensive, site planning of the Campus. 3. Uses permitted within the Campus are consistent with prior zoning and compatible with adjacent uses. Draft Page 16 October 2015 277 E. EXISTING LAND USES The City of El Segundo has distinctive land use patterns, which are divided into four quadrants by the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard. Compatibility of an individual land use is determined mainly by its relationship to other uses within its quadrant. The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan area is located in the southeastern quadrant of the City of El Segundo, which is east of Sepulveda Boulevard and south of El Segundo Boulevard. The design and implementation of this Specific Plan relate directly to its position within this larger context. The southeast quadrant of the City is primarily designated for light industrial which allows a mixture of industrial and office uses. This quadrant also contains a commercial region which is home to the retail development of Plaza El Segundo, an approximately 388,000 square foot lifestyle retail center. The northeast quadrant of the City lies directly across El Segundo Boulevard and consists primarily of corporate office and urban mixed uses which allow for office and commercial uses. The southwest quadrant of the City lies directly across Sepulveda Boulevard and consists primarily of oil refinery /heavy industrial use. A multimedia zone overlies both the southeast and northeast quadrants of the City. Before the adoption of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan (ESSC -SP) the property was designated primarily as Light Industrial in the General Plan Land Use Element with Light Industrial zoning. Adjacent land uses include the following: Draft North: Across El Segundo Boulevard, include mid- and high -rise office buildings with multi -story parking structures and a hotel. LAX is located approximately 1.0 mile north of the Campus. East: The adjacent land uses to the east include the elevated MTA Green Line and a variety of one and two story industrial uses along Coral Circle. The El Segundo Boulevard Green Line station is located at the northeast corner of the Campus. South: A Union Pacific Railroad spur line lies immediately to the south and further to the south, the Plaza El Segundo commercial center. Immediately to the southwest of the Campus is a City of El Segundo Stormwater retention basin and to the west of that are public storage units and a Federal Express distribution facility. West: Land uses to the west include the El Segundo Municipal Golf Course and the West Basin Municipal Water District Water Recycling Facility. The Chevron Refinery is located across Sepulveda Boulevard. Page 17 October 2015 278 This page intentionally left blank. Draft Page 18 October 2015 279 III. LAND USE PLAN The Raytheon campus has been in place since the 1970s and has been modified and expanded several times as the need arose. The existing Campus includes 1,802,513 square feet of mixed development on the site's 142.28 gross acres, 13,624 square feet of which would be demolished as part of the land use program. The project area, excluding the right -of -way of El Segundo Boulevard, is 137.06 acres. A. DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT The Specific Plan establishes the general type, parameters and character of the development in order to develop an integrated Campus that is also compatible with the surrounding area. The Campus' proximity to freeways, major arterials, and the Metro Rail makes the Campus an ideal location for the expansion of uses and is consistent with the City's desire to facilitate economic development in El Segundo. The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan development concept provides flexibility for Raytheon to either expand its existing operations or develop a mixed -use project that would be compatible with the existing Raytheon Campus facilities and operations. On an overall basis, the maximum development potential within the 142.28 acre campus is based upon a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.60, resulting in a maximum development intensity of 3,718,889 net square feet. Development of individual parcels may exceed 0.60 FAR as noted in the sections below. In order to allow for maximum flexibility within the Specific Plan area, a Mixed Use concept is utilized, with mechanisms in the Specific Plan's Development Regulation to allow for transfers between land use types and planning areas, subject to the following requirements: Draft The overall FAR of the Campus cannot exceed 0.60 based on the gross acreage of the site, resulting in a maximum development intensity of 3,718,889 net square feet of building area; 2. Land uses conform to allowable uses as outlined in the Permitted Use Table in the Development Standards section of this Specific Plan; and The total number of traffic trips cannot exceed the trip ceiling established for the Project. The trip ceiling for trip generation of new development within the Project area is: a. 631 PM peak hour inbound trips and 2,489 PM peak hour outbound trips, for a total of 3,120 PM peak hour trips as outlined in the trip budget mechanism for the Project (refer to Appendix A). b. 2,634 AM peak hour inbound trips and 408 outbound AM peak hour trips, for a total of 3,042 AM peak hour trips as outlined in the trip budget mechanism for the Project (refer to Appendix A). c. 26,585 daily trips as outlined in the trip budget mechanism for the Project (refer to Appendix A). Page 19 October 2015 280 Floor Area. For purposes of this Specific Plan, application of a floor area ratio results in net building square footage. Gross floor area is the sum of the net floor area plus an additional twelve percent (12 %) of net floor area. The purpose of evaluating individual buildings proposed within the Specific Plan area net floor area is defined in section VI.B.5.c of this Specific Plan. B. LAND USE PLAN The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan is based upon the following land uses (refer to Exhibit 5, Land Use Plan): Draft 1. Commercial/Office Mixed Use (CMU) The Commercial /Office Mixed Use (CMU) land use designation is located on parcels fronting onto El Segundo Boulevard, consisting of lots 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, and 16, and totaling approximately 24 acres. The CMU area allows for a wide range of office and commercial uses consistent with the existing and planned Campus. However this area's frontage on El Segundo Boulevard is most appropriate for commercial land uses such as office, retail, restaurants, and fitness centers which require more visibility and the potential to attract users from outside the Raytheon Campus. The specific uses are limited in this land use category as shown in the Specific Plan's development regulations in order to provide an aesthetically pleasing frontage to the Campus along this high visibility corridor. Anticipated floor area ratios along this frontage range from 0.25 -1.81. Table IIl -1 shows one potential scenario, based upon the conceptual site plan shown in Exhibit 6, Conceptual Site Plan. 2. Office/Industrial Mixed Use (0/1 MU) The Office /Industrial Mixed Use (O /I MU) land use designation is comprised of the balance of the development areas of the site, including the existing Raytheon Campus buildings. This consists of lots 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17 and 18 and totals approximately 86.62 acres. This designation includes a full range of commercial, office, warehousing, and light industrial land uses, allowing for new light industrial /R &D, office, and commercial uses consistent with the existing Campus. This range of uses would facilitate an expansion of the existing Campus or the sale of parcels for development by others. Anticipated floor area ratios range from 0.22 -2.2. Table III -1 shows one potential scenario, based upon the conceptual site plan shown in Exhibit 6, Conceptual Site Plan. The existing Raytheon Campus facility is located in the central portion of the Office /Industrial Mixed Use area. This facility may continue to be fenced and gated to secure its perimeter. Page 20 October 2015 281 3. Recreation /Open Space (REGOS) The Recreation/Open Space category includes the Project's private recreation facility, identified as Lot 11 on Exhibit 6, as well as several small remnant and potential right -of- way parcels along the properties eastern (Lots 20, 22, 23, and 24) and western (Lot 26) edge, as shown on Exhibits 6 and 7). The Specific Plan recreation facility includes 7.54 acres of private outdoor recreational facilities for Raytheon employees. A field house building including showers, lockers and restrooms would be provided as a required facility but is not counted as part of the Project's FAR and square footage cap. The recreation facilities provided on site must include at least three of the following: • Fields for baseball, soccer and /or other team sports • Tennis courts • Basketball courts • Handball courts • Volleyball courts Table III -1, Land Use Summary, shows the anticipated scenario for the Project's land use mix.

A Trip Budget tracking system is a mechanism for managing the forecast vehicular trips generated by the land use mix identified in Tables III -1 and III -2. The Trip Budget is defined in Appendix "A" of this Specific Plan and is outlined in Table III -3 below. The purpose of the system is to ensure that development can be accommodated within the planned roadway capacity of the on -site and off -site roadway systems and to allow maximum flexibility of land uses in keeping with the market and ongoing Raytheon facilities requirements. The basis for the trip budget is the specification of a mix of uses within the Specific Plan area. The budget establishes a baseline capacity of trips. Using assumed traffic generation rates for the uses anticipated within the Project, the number of trips that would be generated at build -out of the plan was estimated. Table III -3 Project Trip Ceiling for trips associated with new development within the ESSCSP area. PM Peak Hour Trips In Out Total • �:• Total Daily Trips If a different mix of land uses is proposed at the time of Site Plan review, a trip budget table and analysis would be provided as part of the Project submittal to allow for: Draft Confirmation that the proposed mix of uses falls within the maximum trip allowance; and City tracking of the land use mix within the Project.

PHASING Development starts and occupancy rates are not mandated by any phasing schedule. Development will be dictated by market demand and phased accordingly. The conceptual phasing schedule identified below is a best estimate for planning purposes only. Table III -4 Phasing D. CIRCULATION PLAN Regionally, the Campus is accessible from the San Diego freeway (405), Century Freeway (105), the Metro Green Line, and the major arterials of El Segundo Boulevard and Sepulveda Boulevard. The Campus is directly accessible from El Segundo Boulevard at the intersections of Continental Boulevard and Nash Street and is accessible off of Sepulveda Boulevard via Hughes Way. There is a third access point located adjacent to the El Segundo Boulevard Metro Green Line station. However, that access is gated. The internal circulation system of the Campus is currently private and access is controlled by fencing, guard stations, and gates. The development of the Specific Plan must provide for an efficient, internal roadway system that will facilitate on -site circulation and parking. Access will be provided for emergency vehicles and development within the Campus will provide infrastructure and facilitate access for various modes of travel including automobiles, transit, bicycles, and pedestrian. Connectivity in this part of the City will also be provided in accordance with the City's General Plan. Pedestrian and handicap access must be provided between buildings, to key elements in the surrounding area, and to the nearby MTA Green Line station. VEHICULAR CIRCULATION El Segundo Boulevard. El Segundo Boulevard is an existing public arterial that abuts the property on its northern edge. An off - street "Class I" bicycle path will be designed and constructed consistent with the requirements of the South Bay Bicycle Master Plan. The bicycle path may diverge from running parallel to El Segundo Boulevard near the overhead green line overhead alignment and enter the El Segundo Green Line Station south of any obstructions created by the supports for the Green Line's elevated track. Draft Page 27 October 2015 288 A limited number of additional curb cuts may be allowed along El Segundo Boulevard to provide direct access to the Campus, subject to the approval of the Director of Planning and Building Safety and Director of Public Works as part of site plan review. Hughes Way/Nash Street Extension. With the development of the Specific Plan, Hughes Way will be connected with Nash Street through the south and eastern portions of the Campus (Parcel 19). The street will be dedicated to the City for public right -of -way purposes as a Secondary Arterial with a right -of -way width of 100 feet, including a 22 -foot wide raised landscaped median. Hughes Way extension will include a 6 -foot wide on- street "Class II" bicycle lane consistent with the South Bay Bicycle Plan. This street must be completed before a certificate of occupancy is issued for any use which would cause the new development trip cap of 89 a.m. peak hour, 225 p.m. hour peak trips or 3775 daily trips to be exceeded. The circulation pattern provides for future connection from the Nash Street extension to Coral Circle (an easement through Parcels 20 and 22) and provides for additional parking for the Coral Circle businesses (Parcels 20 and 22). 20 -year irrevocable offers of dedication to Parcels 20 and 22 must be offered and may be accepted by the City at such time as the City acquires access rights from the affected businesses along Coral Circle and enters into a contract for the construction of the connecting street. Continental Boulevard. The Circulation Plan calls for the extension of Continental Boulevard, along the southwestern boundary lines, to its connection with Hughes Way. This street will initially be private and gate controlled until such time as the first parcel taking access from the road is either sold or leased for use by non - Raytheon parties. At that time a portion of the road (Parcel 21 or Parcel 25 or both) will be opened to public access either through dedication to the City or recordation of a public access easement. Continental Boulevard is designed as a Collector Street with a right -of -way width of 80 feet, and a 14 -foot raised median. At the point where the future Continental Boulevard turns from an east -west direction to a north- south direction, a parcel has been created (Parcel 26) which will allow access to the adjacent golf course. Raytheon will provide a 20 -year irrevocable offer of dedication for this parcel. This dedication may be accepted by the City at such time the City permits circulation through the adjacent golf course and Continental Boulevard is made accessible to the public. Until such time as a street is accepted by the City, the street may be fenced, guarded or gated. However, perimeter security will be relocated so as to provide unfettered access to all public streets. NON - VEHICULAR CIRCULATION Three non - vehicular circulation components are included within the Campus: Draft A 6 -foot wide Class I bicycle path (4 -foot one way path with 2 -foot shoulder) is required to be installed in a dedicated public easement adjacent to El Segundo Boulevard (consistent with the South Bay Bicycle Plan). This path is illustrated in the Landscape portion of the Specific Plan Design Guidelines. Page 28 October 2015 289 A 6 -foot wide Class II, on- street bicycle lane is included within the right -of -way of the Hughes/Nash Street extension on each side of the street. A pedestrian access easement across one or a combination of parcels 13, 14 and /or parcel 24 of Vesting Map 71551 is required to allow direct pedestrian access to the Green Line Station. Improved bicycle parking facilities will be located at either the Metro Green -line station or on- site, on land reserved for secured bicycle parking in close proximity to the Green -line station. This facility, at a minimum, will include fully enclosed, secured parking for bicycles. The station could also include other amenities for cyclists, such as: staffing, repair facilities, sales of bicycle related materials, changing and or shower facilities, bicycle rental and /or bicycle sharing facilities. E. GRADING CONCEPT Site grading will require cut and fill to create building pads. The grading is expected to be balanced on -site. Final grading plans will be approved by the City Engineer before the City issues a grading permit. Draft Page 29 October 2015 290 R, ENIST.

EXISTING UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE The following is a summary of existing and proposed public infrastructure for development of the site. Some private infrastructure may be converted to public infrastructure where appropriate and if the City of El Segundo approves. All infrastructure will be constructed in accordance with the standards of the governing agency. A. WATER SERVICE EXISTING CONDITION Water utility service is provided by the City of El Segundo and is currently available within the Campus. Water is purchased through West Basin Municipal Water District which is a member of The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The current points of connection to the public water system are near the midpoint of the northern and midpoint of the eastern property line. Connection is made with 12 -inch service laterals to an existing 27 -inch diameter City of El Segundo water main line. Water for fire suppression is provided by on -site building sprinklers and fire hydrant(s) and from off -site fire hydrants located on El Segundo Boulevard. PROPOSED CONDITION The existing and future water service must be provided through a future public line or a private line with private easement serving each lot. Location of lines in public streets is the preferred condition; where a public main line serving multiple lots is not within a public street, an easement must be granted to the City for access and maintenance. Points of connection will be based on the City of El Segundo's approval and may include connections to existing 27 -inch water main line in El Segundo Boulevard, an existing 10 -inch public water service in Hughes Way, or an existing 27- inch public water service which lies within an existing City easement along the east side of the site. Future water service points of connection will need to be provided to existing Raytheon buildings to remaining and future buildings. A Conceptual Water Utility Plan has been developed for the Specific Plan Area (refer to Exhibit 8, Water Plan). Fire flows for future construction will be based on County of Los Angeles Fire Department Land Development Unit standards, requiring up to 5,000 gallons per minute (gpm) at 20 psi residual pressure for up to a five -hour duration. Final fire flows will be based on specific building design details.

RECLAIMED WATER EXISTING CONDITION Reclaimed water utility service is provided by the West Basin Municipal Water District from a treatment plant just west of the Campus and is already being used for landscaping the Campus. A current point of connection to the reclaimed water system for irrigation of landscaping along El Segundo Boulevard is along El Segundo Boulevard at Continental Boulevard. Connection is made with a 6 -inch service lateral to an existing 42 -inch diameter West Basin reclaimed water main line. A sewer study was prepared by Psomas for the Specific Plan, dated September 2012. Please refer to the full study for technical details on potential reclaimed water usage. PROPOSED CONDITION The existing and future reclaimed water service must be provided through a future public main line or a private line with private easement serving each lot. Location of lines in public streets is the preferred condition; where a public main line serving multiple lots is not within a public street, an easement will be granted to the City for access and maintenance. Points of connection will be based on West Basin Municipal Water District's and the City of El Segundo's input and may include connections to an existing 8 -inch reclaimed water service in Hughes Way and /or to an existing 42 -inch reclaimed water line in El Segundo Boulevard. New service points of connection will need to be provided to the new parcels within the Campus. A Conceptual Reclaimed Water Utility Plan has been developed for the Specific Plan area (refer to Exhibit 9, Reclaimed Water Plan). C. SEWER SERVICE EXISTING CONDITION Sewer utility service is provided by the City of El Segundo and County Sanitation District of Los Angeles County and is currently available within the Campus. The Raytheon Campus presently includes an 18 -inch sewer line which connects to an existing 21 -inch trunk sewer near the southeast corner of the site. This trunk sewer continues northeasterly to Douglas Street, turns southerly along Douglas Street to Alaska Avenue, runs easterly in Alaska Avenue to Hawaii Street and runs southeasterly in Hawaii Street to Aviation Boulevard where it increases to a 24 -inch trunk, runs southerly for a short distance and then connects to the Los Angeles County Sanitation District trunk in Aviation. From research of existing sewer plans, there are no connections to this trunk sewer through this entire alignment as smaller, parallel lines collect all the sewage from the parcels along this alignment. An existing 10 -inch and 15 -inch sewer line is also present in El Segundo Boulevard generally east of Nash Street. Draft Page 33 October 2015 294 — EL SEGUNDO BLVfi� TRW \Ras ,col x.

Location of lines in public streets is the preferred condition; where a public main line serving multiple lots is not within a public street, an easement must be granted to the City for access and maintenance. Points of connection will be based on the City's approval and may include connections to an existing 21 -inch sewer located at the southeast corner of the site and /or the existing sewer in El Segundo Boulevard. To serve the new Project, approximately 8,000 linear feet of new public sewer is anticipated to be constructed within the Project boundary. A conceptual sewer plan has been developed for the Specific Plan area (refer to Exhibit 10, Sewer Plan). D. DRAINAGE EXISTING CONDITION A drainage study was prepared by Psomas for the Specific Plan, dated September 2012. Please refer to the full study for technical details. The area drains in a northwest to southeast direction. Current points of connection to the City's public drainage system exist at multiple locations along the eastern and southern Raytheon property lines. The City's public drainage system consists of variable diameter (96 to 108 inches) reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) storm drain. The public main lines discharge into an existing City of El Segundo retention and infiltration basin just south of the Raytheon site. Existing storm water quality currently goes untreated on -site. However, downstream of the Project site runoff drains to the City of El Segundo retention and infiltration basin where it is captured and infiltrated. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) map #06037C1770F shows this Project site is located within Zone X, which is described to be an area determined to be outside of the 0.2% annual chance floodplain. There are no Special Flood Hazards on -site. PROPOSED CONDITION Relatively minor off -site flows from El Segundo Boulevard and the property to the south will continue unobstructed to combine with on -site flows. The Project area will continue to drain in its existing northwest to southeast direction. Reconfiguration of site roadways and the replacement of existing buildings and surface parking lots with new buildings and parking lots /structures will result in changes to drainage patterns and amounts of impervious surfaces. However, proposed drainage sub -areas will closely match existing sub -areas in area, and potential increases in surface runoff will be mitigated by Project design features. The average imperviousness of the site is expected to decrease from 79.5% to 70.0 %.

If the proposed Project results in a change in drainage pattern, an increase in impervious area, or higher rates of flow, storm water detention will be part of the design to avoid negative downstream impacts. Sub - drainage areas will continue to flow to the City of El Segundo storm drain along the eastern and southern edge of the Project boundary. The total proposed tributary area to be studied is less than 1% larger than the existing tributary area since portions of the Project area that formerly drained off -site will be redirected and managed on -site. There will be no net increase in discharge of storm water from the site. The total proposed tributary area is approximately 134.4 acres. New storm drains will be required to serve the site redesign. To serve the proposed Project, approximately 7,000 linear feet of new on -site storm drain lines are expected be constructed within the Project boundary. The maximum pipe diameter is not expected to exceed 54 inches. On -site detention is not expected to be required (refer to Exhibit 11, Drainage Plan). Storm Water Quality Existing storm water quality currently goes untreated on -site. The project site discharges into an existing City of El Segundo retention and infiltration basin just south of the Raytheon site. No runoff leaves the City of El Segundo retention and infiltration basin. However, the project site lies within the Dominguez Channel watershed. The Dominguez Channel ultimately empties into the consolidated slip of the Los Angeles Harbor. To the maximum extent practical, storm water quality treatment will be provided with infiltration. The treatment methods are expected to include infiltration wells, infiltration basins, high - efficiency planter boxes, and surface planting areas. Drainage must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation, the City's National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. E. GAS EXISTING CONDITION Natural gas service is provided by Southern California Gas Company and is currently available within the Campus. PROPOSED CONDITION The existing and future natural gas service must be provided through a future public main line or a private line with private easement serving each lot.

Draft EXHIBIT 11 CONCEPTUAL DRAINAGE PLAN Source: Psomas Page 38 October 2015 299 Location of lines in public streets is the preferred condition; where a public main line serving multiple lots is not within a public street, an easement will be granted for access and maintenance. Points of connection will be based on Southern California Gas Company's approval and may include connections to existing 12 -inch and 20 -inch high pressure gas lines within El Segundo Boulevard and /or an existing 4 -inch service line along the easterly property line. A conceptual plan has been developed for the Specific Plan area (refer to Exhibitl2, Electric, Gas and Telecommunication). F. ELECTRIC EXISTING CONDITION Electric power is provided by Southern California Edison to the Campus through underground utilities. PROPOSED CONDITION Location of lines in public streets is the preferred condition; where a public main line serving multiple lots is not within a public street right -of -way, an easement will be granted for access and maintenance. Points of connection will be based on Edison's approval. A future substation location, reserved by an easement adequate in size for the placement of a SCE substation, is identified on Parcel 5 (refer to Vesting Tentative Map No.71551). A conceptual plan has been developed for the Specific Plan area (refer to Exhibit 12, Electric, Gas and Telecommunication). G. TELECOMMUNICATIONS UTILITIES EXISTING CONDITION Cable and telecommunication service is provided by a variety of companies and is currently available within the Campus. These companies include AT &T, Level 3, MCI (Verizon), Quest, Time Warner, and XO Communications. PROPOSED CONDITION Location of lines in public streets or their rights -of -way is the preferred condition; where a public line serving multiple lots is not within a public street or its right -of -way, an easement will be granted for access and maintenance.

SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL EXISTING CONDITION Solid waste disposal is provided to commercial and industrial users by a variety of private haulers. FUTURE CONDITION Development within the Campus would contract with a provider. Landfill capacity is adequate for assumed population and commercial growth within Los Angeles County. Solid waste facilities within the Specific Plan area will comply with all ESMC requirements pertaining to building, fire, zoning codes (e.g., adequate trash enclosures and screening). I. FIRE PROTECTION EXISTING CONDITION The Campus is less than one mile from Fire Station 2, located at Mariposa Avenue and Douglas Street. The provision of water for fire suppression is provided by on -site building sprinklers and fire hydrants and from off -site fire hydrants located on El Segundo Boulevard. FUTURE CONDITION Future development will include new public fire hydrants within the future public street connecting Hughes Way and Nash Street. Buildings will be sprinklered as required by the ESMC. Development will be required to pay fire impact fees to off -set the additional demand for municipal fire protection services as a result of the new development. J. POLICE SERVICES EXISTING CONDITION Police services are provided by the El Segundo Police Department which is located at 348 Main Street. FUTURE CONDITION Development will be required to pay police impact fees to off -set the additional demand for municipal police services as a result of the new development.

DESIGN GUIDELINES These design guidelines are intended as "guidelines" instead of "development regulations," Consequently, strict compliance is not required. To promote the quality of design planned for this Project, the design guidelines given in this document establish criteria that enhance the coordination, organization, function and identity of the site, while maintaining a compatible relationship with the surrounding development of the El Segundo South Campus. A. DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND INTENT Design Guidelines for the South Campus Specific Plan will promote and reinforce the City's commitment to high quality development. The objectives of these guidelines are to: • Provide for high - quality, large scale commercial /industrial development within a cohesive campus setting. • Promote orderly and predictable development. • Encourage individual creativity and innovative solutions by allowing flexibility in how a particular guideline is met as long as the intent of the guideline is achieved. • Ensure functional pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle circulation within the Project and convenient pedestrian and bicycle linkages to and from adjacent residential, commercial, industrial, and school areas. 1. Site Planning a. The arrangement of new buildings, parking and circulation areas should recognize the particular characteristics of the site and should create an identity as a cohesive campus. b. Site development should utilize variations on building orientation and landscaping adjacent to the public streets so that a monolithic "wall" of building faces is not created. C. The design and location of accessory buildings (e.g., security kiosks, maintenance buildings, trash and recycling enclosures, and outdoor mechanical equipment enclosures) should be incorporated into and be compatible with the overall design of the Project and the main buildings on the site. Draft Page 43 October 2015 304 Urajt d. Appropriate linkages between internal„4 Project components and buildings, as well as between the Project and the surrounding�� development should be incorporated, including pedestrian walkways, and plaza areas. p gar e. Buildings should be arranged to create X opportunities for open space amenities (e.g., plazas, courtyards, outdoor eating areas, public art, etc.). 2. Access and Parking a. The use of common (shared) access points and driveways is encouraged; placement of vehicle access points close to building entries should be avoided to minimize pedestrian and vehicular conflicts. b. Entry driveway areas should be clearly marked by special features, (e.g., enhanced paving, prominent landscape features, low- height decorative walls, and well- designed monument -type signs). C. Access to each building should be clearly visible to pedestrians and motorists through the use of signage, color, and /or design elements. d. Parking lots adjacent to and visible from public streets should be appropriately screened to minimize undesirable visual impacts. e. Parking lots should not be a dominant visual element on the site from El Segundo Boulevard or the Nash Street extension. f. Surface parking areas should be enhanced and visually broken up through the use of appropriate trees and landscape improvements. g. Surface parking areas should be divided into smaller multiple lots and provided with canopy trees spaced appropriately throughout the parking area to reduce the effects of heat gain. h. Parking lot design is encouraged to include water quality storm water facilities consistent with City standards and a Water Quality Management Plan prepared for each phase. Page 44 October 2015 305 Draft 3. Architecture /Orientation/Massing a. The massing, scale and architectural style should consider compatibility with the surrounding character and existing buildings to reflect a cohesive campus character. b. The orientation of the newly constructed buildings should facilitate and encourage pedestrian activity and convey a visual link to the Project's internal road system. C. The mass and scale of new buildings should be compatible with the existing and adjacent structures and with each other. This can be accomplished by transitioning from the height of adjacent buildings to the tallest elements of the new building, stepping back the upper portions of taller buildings, and incorporating human scale elements, such as pedestrian scaled doors, windows, and building materials on the ground floor. d. Buildings should be divided into distinct massing elements and should be articulated with architectural elements and details. Changes in height, horizontal plane, materials, patterns and colors should be used to reduce building scale and mass. e. Primary building entries should be easily identified through the use of prominent architectural elements, signage, landscaping, decorative hardscape, lighting, canopies, roof form, architectural projections, columns, vertical and /or horizontal elements, and other design features that help emphasize a building's entry. f. Building elevations, whether front, side, or rear, that are visible from public rights -of -way should be architecturally detailed to incorporate quality materials and architectural features that reflect the theme of surrounding structures and facades. Buildings facing El Segundo Boulevard should include enhanced and articulated facades. Building entrances should be readily identifiable. The use of recesses, projections, columns, and other design elements to articulate entrances is encouraged. g. Facades should be `divided' by vertical and horizontal variations in wall planes, building projections, door and window bays, and similar elements. Building articulation should be present on the side and rear walls of the building. Page 45 October 2015 306 h. Roofs should be designed as an integral component of building form, mass, and facade. Building form should be enhanced by varying and offset roof planes, eave heights, and rooflines. i. Green roofs and rooftop gardens are allowed to add landscaping, decrease the heat island effect of large expanses of flat roofs, retain and filter storm water run -off, and to reduce energy demand for heating and cooling buildings. Green roofs are encouraged, but not required. The exterior surfaces of buildings for the ground floor must be protected with anti - graffiti coating where appropriate. 4. Color and Materials a. Colors and materials should be consistent and complementary throughout the Project area. b. Exterior materials and architectural details should complement each other and should be stylistically consistent. C. Building materials must be durable and resistant to damage, defacing, and general wear and tear. Acceptable building materials may include concrete, stone masonry, metal, stucco, glass and /or other contemporary composites. d. Building materials that support sustainability through the use of environmentally sound building materials and local resources (e.g., locally available, contain high recycled- content, are reused, come from renewable sources, and that contain low volatile organic compound (VOC) levels) is highly encouraged. 5. Screening and Mechanical Equipment a. All screening devices must be compatible with the architecture, materials and colors of the building. b. Loading docks, bays and parking spaces, delivery service areas, outdoor storage areas, stand -alone mechanical equipment facilities, should be located and designed to minimize their visibility, circulation conflicts and adverse noise impacts. These facilities must be oriented so that they do not face any public or private rights -of -way. Sound attenuation walls must be used where appropriate to reduce noise where required by code or the Project's environmental analysis. Draft Page 46 October 2015 307 Draft C. Utility and mechanical equipment must be screened from view of public streets and nearby buildings on all sides with landscaping and /or architectural elements. d. Rooftop mounted equipment visible from the surrounding area, adjacent buildings, and any public or private rights -of -way must be screened from public view and equipment should be painted to match the roof color when equipment is visible. e. Trash and recycling receptacles areas must be completely screened from public view from public and private rights -of- way with a combination of solid walls, wood, and landscaping. f. Ground mounted enclosures must be protected with anti - graffiti coating. 6. Parking Structures Trash enclosures with architectural screening elements a. Parking garages should be designed to help reduce the mass and scale of the garage and to ensure their compatibility with surrounding uses. b. Parking garages should be designed to conceal the view of vehicles in the garage through a combination of screen walls and plantings while providing adequate visibility for security purposes. C. The exterior elevations of parking structures should be designed to avoid a monotonous, monolithic appearance. This can be accomplished through a menu of options as follows: Minimize horizontal and vertical banding by balancing both horizontal and vertical elements. • Design `green screens' to provide visual relief. • Use simple, clean geometric forms, and coordinated massing. • Size openings in the parking garage to resemble large windows as in an office building. • Use masonry materials that are predominantly light in color, but avoid unpainted concrete. Use of accent materials is encouraged. Avoid a sloping ramp appearance by providing level and uniform spandrels. Page 47 October 2015 308 Draft Visually define and differentiate between pedestrian and vehicular entrances through appropriate architectural detailing. d. Stairs and elevators should be located adjacent to a street on the exterior of the structure where lobbies can be exposed to outside view. Safe pedestrian street crossings should be taken into consideration. e. The use of security cameras is encouraged and may be required by the Police Department as part of site plan approval. f. Lighting levels should be equally distributed to provide uniform illumination over all parking areas. Photometric analysis will be required as part of site plan/architectural review. g. Light sources should be shielded so that the source of the illumination is not seen from outside the structure. h. The ground floor level of any parking structure must be protected with anti - graffiti coating. 7. Landscaping A Landscape Master Plan for the Campus must be provided to the City at or before first site plan review submittal to provide for a unified concept for the Campus. Streetscape concepts are provided for the three hierarchies of streets within the project, including the El Segundo Boulevard frontage, Hughes/Nash Street Extension, and Continental (see Exhibits 13 -15, Streetscape Concepts). The Master Landscape Concept Plan must be consistent with these concepts and their associated plant palettes. General a. Entries into the project should include a consistent entry feature for the Campus as a whole. Entries should be provided in the following locations: Hughes Way at El Segundo Boulevard Hughes Way/Nash Street at the southern Campus boundary b. Consistent tree species must be planted at Project entries, consistent with Exhibit 16, Corner Entry Concept.

Lot Frontage a. A minimum of 100 feet of frontage must be provided for all lots whether on a dedicated public street or a private street. Parcels exclusively devoted to right -of -way purposes are excluded from minimum lot frontage requirements. Draft Page 59 October 2015 320 Draft 5. Floor Area a. The South Campus Specific Plan is currently developed with 1,802,513 net square feet of development. Development in the Campus is limited to an additional 1,916,376 net square feet of floor area, as specified herein, for a total pre- dedication of public right -of -way net FAR of 0.60 distributed over the entire Campus area and not required as a maximum FAR on any individual lot as permitted in Section B.6 below. The maximum amount of developed floor area within the Specific Plan must not exceed 3,718,889 net square feet as permitted by this Specific Plan. b. For purposes of this Specific Plan, application of a floor area ratio results in net building square footage. Gross floor area is the sum of the net floor area plus an additional twelve percent (12 %) of net floor area for all proposed new construction. C. Net floor area consists of the area of all floors or levels included within the exterior surrounding walls of a building or structure. The total space devoted to high or medium bay labs may be multiplied by a factor of 0.5 to determine the net floor area. Space devoted to the following is not included when determining the total net floor area within a building or structure: 1. Elevator shafts; 2. Stairwells; 3. Courts or atriums uncovered and open to the sky; 4. Rooms exclusively holding building operating equipment; 5. Parking spaces at or above grade and access thereto; 6. Structures devoted exclusively for parking; 7. Restrooms in common areas of nonresidential buildings. d. Gross floor area consists of the area included within the surrounding exterior walls of a building or portion thereof, exclusive of garages, vent shafts, and courts. The floor area of a building, or portion thereof, not provided with surrounding exterior walls is the usable area under the horizontal projection of the roof or floor above. For new construction, after the date of adoption of this plan, gross floor area is defined as specified in section VI.B.5.b. above. 6. Floor Area Ratio and Transfer of Development Rights a. FAR may be transferred from any parcel within the boundaries of the Campus (the "Donor Site ") to any other parcel within the boundaries of the Campus, whether contiguous or non - contiguous, within the Specific Plan area (the "Receiver Site ") upon the written consent of the owners of both the Donor Site and Receiver Site. Any FAR transferred from a Donor Site Page 60 October 2015 321 is deducted from that parcel's base FAR. The overall FAR for the entire Campus cannot exceed a net 0.60 as computed in accordance with the above, based on pre- dedication of public right -of -way, but any individual parcel may exceed such FAR. Transfer of FAR may be accomplished by submitting a letter from the applicant to the Director of Planning and Building Safety before the City issues building permits for the Receiver Site which would utilize the transferred FAR. The Director will maintain records of such transfers and the current density allocations, if any, of all of the properties within the Specific Plan area. In addition, the owner of Donor Site must record a covenant acceptable to the Director and the City Attorney memorializing such transfer of FAR. No approval from the City is required for such transfer. b. Regardless of any transfer of FAR, no building can exceed the applicable development standards set forth in this Specific Plan. 7. Walls and Fences a. All walls and fences must comply with ESMC § 15 -2 -4. 8. Accessory Structures a.

After the Site Plan is approved, the Director of Planning and Building Safety may approve minor changes in the Site Plan or its conditions if the Director finds that there are practical reasons for such changes, that such changes do not substantially vary from the previously approved site plan and applicable law and that such changes do not involved deviations from the design's intent. 4. Site Plan Review Criteria The purpose of the Site Plan Review procedure is to ensure that the development provides a cohesive visual identity and coordinated design character for the Specific Plan area of high quality. The overall coordinated design character must be expressed in the site planning, architecture, landscaping, lighting, and signage. The architectural design is to be compatible in character, massing and materials consistent with the conceptual plan depicted in this Plan. In approving the Site Plan Review the Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal, must consider the following factors: a. The dimensions, shape and orientation of the parcel; b. The placement of buildings and structures on the parcel; C. The height, setbacks, bulk and building materials; d. The building materials and design; e. The distance between buildings or structures; f. The location, number and layout of off - street parking and loading spaces; g. The internal vehicular patterns and pedestrian safety features; h. The location, distribution, amount and type of landscaping materials and the sustainability of the landscaping material with the El Segundo climate in compliance with the applicable climate zone; Page 74 October 2015 335 The placement, photometrics, height and direction of illumination of light standards; j. The location, number, size and height of signs; k. The location, height and materials of walls, fences or hedges; 1.

AMENDMENT In accordance with the Government Code §§ 65450- 65457, Specific Plans must be prepared, adopted and amended in the same manner as General Plans except that Specific Plans may be adopted by resolution or by ordinance. This Specific Plan may be amended as necessary by ordinance. Said amendment or amendments do not require a concurrent General Plan amendment unless the Director of Planning and Building Safety determines that the proposed amendment would substantially affect General Plan goals, policies, objectives or programs. F. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT COMPLIANCE The El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan and related entitlements were approved in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the State CEQA Guidelines (Guidelines), and City policies adopted to implement the CEQA and the Guidelines. An Environmental Impact Report was prepared and certified by the City Council which establishes the development thresholds shown in Table VII -1 below. Table VII -1 California Environmental Quality Act Compliance Existing Site Facilities The Conceptual Site Plan and evaluated within the EIR document. Application Materials 1,802,513 square feet 1,930,000 square feet (including 13,624 square feet of demolition and replacement) The CEQA clearance indicated above analyzes the effects of 1,930,000 net square feet of incremental development by the Project , 13,624 of which is anticipated to be replacement of existing facilities with allowed uses. Any portion of the Project that is developed consistent with the Conceptual Site Plan evaluated for this Specific Plan is exempt from further CEQA analysis unless an event specified in Public Resources Code § 21166 occurs as to the Specific Plan. Draft Page 76 October 2015 337 APPENDIX A E1 Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Trip Generation Rates, Credits, and Caps The following two tables are to provide data for maintaining a trip inventory analysis for the build - out of the Specific Plan. A table maintaining a cumulative accounting of total square footage by land use as well as the cumulative number of A.M. and P.M. peak hour trips generated by new development within the Specific Plan area must be generated by the project applicant and verified by the City. The trip inventory must be updated and submitted upon the filing of site plan review application and verified before a building permit is issued. The traffic - generating characteristics of most of the components of the Project are identified in the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation, 91h Edition. With mixed -use projects there are many opportunities for interaction amongst the various uses. The interaction is likely to reduce the number of trips entering and leaving the site ( "internal capture "). Additionally, many of the individual uses will attract vehicles already on the surrounding street network ( "diverted /pass -by "). These are trips that are already on the roadway network and are diverted to the Project. Furthermore, since the Specific Plan is adjacent to the El Segundo Metro Green Line station, the following table takes into consideration credits for transit usage, as well as for "internal capture" and "diverted /pass -by."

In consideration thereof, City agrees to limit the future exercise of certain of its governmental and proprietary powers to the extent specified in this Agreement. 350 2.5 By this Agreement, Developer desires to obtain the binding agreement of City to permit the development of the Campus in accordance with the Project Approvals and Applicable Rules. In consideration thereof, Developer agrees to waive its rights to challenge legally the restrictions and obligations set forth in this Agreement. 2.6 City and Developer have acknowledged and agreed that the consideration that is to be exchanged pursuant to this Agreement is fair, just and reasonable. 2.7 This Agreement is intended to provide flexible entitlements, within the parameters set forth herein and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to meet the changing market demands that are likely to occur throughout the Term of this Agreement. 2.8 The Project uses are consistent with the General Plan, as amended through General Plan Amendment No. GPA 11 -01. 2.9 Development of the Project will further the comprehensive planning objectives contained within the General Plan, and will result in public benefits including, among others, better circulation in the northeast quadrant of the City. 2.10 All of the Campus is subject to this Agreement. 3. Binding Effect. The burdens of this Agreement are binding upon, and the benefits of the Agreement inure to, each Party and each successive successor in interest thereto and constitute covenants that run with the land. 3.1 Constructive Notice and Acceptance. Every Person who acquires any right, title or interest in or to any portion of the Campus in which Developer has a legal interest is, and must be, conclusively deemed to have consented and agreed to be bound by this Agreement, whether or not any reference to this Agreement is contained in the instrument by which such person acquired such right, title or interest. 3.2 Rights to Transfer. Developer may assign or transfer in whole or in part its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Campus, or any portion thereof, to any Transferee at any time during the term of this Agreement without approval of City, including through provision of a long -term ground lease. For purposes of this Agreement, the Transferee must be considered the "owner" of that portion of the Campus which is covered by such transfer. 3.3 LIaHlities Upon Transfer. Upon the delegation of the duties and obligations under this Agreement and the sale, transfer or assignment of all or any portion of the Campus, Developer will be released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Campus, or portion thereof, so transferred arising subsequent to the effective date of such transfer, if (i) Developer has provided to City prior or subsequent written notice of such transfer and (ii) Transferee has agreed in writing to be subject to all of the provisions hereof applicable to the portion of the Campus so transferred by executing an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of attached Exhibit "C," which is incorporated by reference.

A default by any Transferee only affects that portion of the Campus owned by such Transferee and does not cancel or diminish in any way Developer's rights hereunder with respect to any portion of the Campus not owned by such Transferee. The Transferee is responsible for satisfying the good faith compliance requirements set forth in Section 8 below relating to the portion of the Campus owned by such Transferee, and any amendment to this Agreement between the City and a Transferee must only affect the portion of the Campus owned by such Transferee. 3.4 Resumption of Rights. If Transferee defaults with respect to any provision of this Agreement, Developer may, but must not be obligated to, resume Transferee's obligations upon written notification to City. 4. Development of the Campus. The following provisions, in addition to Applicable Rules, govern the development and use of the Campus. However, nothing affects any Existing Development on the Campus which is allowed to continue in its current location and under its current development standards. 4.1 Entitlement to Develop. The Developer is granted the vested right to develop the Project on the Campus subject to the Applicable Rules, the Project Approvals and any Future Approvals. 4.2 Permitted Uses, Density, Height and Dedication of Land for Public Purposes. The permitted and conditionally permitted uses of the Campus as well as the density or intensity of use, the maximum height and size of buildings and provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes are set forth in the Project Approvals and Applicable Rules. 4.3 Development Standards. The Development Standards applicable to the Campus are set forth in the Project Approvals and Applicable Rules. 4.4 Building Regulations. Nothing in this Agreement precludes City from applying changes occurring from time to time in the Building Regulations, provided that such changes (a) are found by City to be necessary to the health or safety of the citizens of the City, (b) are generally applicable to all similar types of property in the City, and (c) do not prevent or unreasonably delay development of the Project in accordance with this Agreement. 4.5 Subsequent Rules. Subsequent Rules cannot be applied by City to any part of the Campus unless Developer gives City written notice of its election to have such Subsequent Rule applied to the Campus, in which case such subsequent change is deemed to be an Applicable Rule. 4.6 Fees, Exactions, Mitigation Measures, Conditions, Reservations and Dedications. 4.6.1 All fees, exactions, mitigation measures, conditions, reservations and dedications of land for public purposes that are applicable to the Project are set forth in the Project Approvals, the Applicable Rules and this Agreement. 4.6.2 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and specifically excluding fees set by entities not controlled by City that are collected by City, City can only charge and 352 impose those fees and exactions, including, without limitation, dedications and any other fee relating to development or the privilege of developing, which are in effect on a City -wide basis as of the Effective Date. 4.6.3 Developer must pay the impact fees pursuant to City Council Resolution Nos. 4443 and 4687. 4.6.4 This Section cannot be construed to limit the authority of City to charge normal and customary application, processing, and permit fees, including legal and environmental processing costs, for land use approvals, building permits and other similar permits, for Future Approvals, which fees are designed to reimburse City's actual expenses attributable to such application, processing and permitting and are in force and effect on a City -wide basis at such time as applications for such approvals are filed with City. 4.6.5 Nexus /Reasonable Relationship Challenges. Developer consents to, and waives any rights it may have now or in the future to challenge the legal validity of, the conditions, requirements, policies or programs required by this Agreement or Applicable Rules including, without limitation, any claim that they constitute an abuse of the police power, violate substantive due process, deny equal protection of the laws, effect a taking of property without payment of just compensation, or impose an unlawful tax. 4.7 Use of Easements. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Applicable Rules, easements dedicated for vehicular and pedestrian use are permitted to include easements for underground drainage, water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone, cable, environmental remediation and other utilities and facilities so long as they do not unreasonably interfere with pedestrian and /or vehicular use. 4.8 Timing of Development. In Pardee Construction Co. v. Cit y of Camarillo (Pardee), 37 Cal.3d 465 (1984), the California Supreme Court held that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing or rate of development resulted in a later- adopted initiative restricting the rate of development to prevail against the parties' agreement. City and Developer intend to avoid the result in Pardee by acknowledging and providing that Developer has the right, without obligation, to develop the Campus in such order and at such rate and times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment, subject to the Term of this Agreement. In furtherance of the Parties' intent, as set forth in this Section, no future amendment of any existing City ordinance or resolution, or future adoption of any ordinance, resolution or other action, that purports to limit the rate or timing of development over time or alter the sequencing of development phases, whether adopted or imposed by the City Council or through the initiative or referendum process, applies to the Campus. However, nothing in this Section must be construed to limit City's right to enforce Developer's obligation pursuant to this Agreement to provide all infrastructure required by the Project Approvals and this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, Developer must be required to build the on -site and off -site infrastructure required for the Project in accordance with the Project Milestones and Thresholds that are listed in Exhibit D, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. 6 353 4.9 Moratorium. No City- imposed moratorium or other limitation (whether relating to the rate, timing or sequencing of the development or construction of all or any part of the Campus, whether imposed by ordinance, initiative, resolution, policy, order or otherwise, and whether enacted by the City Council, an agency of City, the electorate, or otherwise) affecting parcel or subdivision maps (whether tentative, vesting tentative or final), building permits, occupancy certificates or other entitlements to use or service (including, without limitation, water and sewer) approved, issued or granted within City, or portions of City, applies to the Campus to the extent such moratorium or other limitation is in conflict with this Agreement. However, the provisions of this Section do not affect City's compliance with moratoria or other limitations mandated by other governmental agencies or court- imposed moratoria or other limitations. 4.10 Infrastructure. 4.10.1 Infrastructure Capacity. Subject to Developer's installation of infrastructure in accordance with the requirements of the Project Approvals, this Agreement, and any Future Approvals, City acknowledges that it will have sufficient capacity in its infrastructure, services and utility systems, including, without limitation, traffic circulation, storm drainage, flood control, electric service, sewer collection, sewer treatment, sanitation service and, except for reasons beyond City's control, water supply, treatment, distribution and service, to accommodate the Project. To the extent that City renders such services or provides such utilities, City agrees that it will serve the Project and that there is no restriction on hookups or service for the Project except for reasons beyond City's control. 4.10.2 Infrastructure Phasing Flexibilit . Notwithstanding the provisions of any phasing requirements in the Project Approvals or any Future Approvals, Developer and City recognize that economic and market conditions may necessitate changing the order in which the infrastructure is constructed. Therefore, City and Developer agree that should it become necessary or desirable to develop any portion of the Project's infrastructure in an order that differs from the order set forth in this Agreement, Developer and City will collaborate and City will permit any modification requested by Developer so long as the modification continues to ensure adequate infrastructure is available to serve that portion of the Project being developed and is in compliance with Section 4.12 of this Agreement. 4.10.3 Infrastructure Completion. No building permit, final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy will be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed by City if all infrastructure required to serve the portion of the Campus covered by the building permit, final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy is in place or is suitably guaranteed to be completed (by covenant, bond, letter of credit or otherwise) to the reasonable satisfaction of the City before completion of construction and all of the other relevant provisions of the Project Approvals and any Future Approvals are satisfied. 4.10.4 Prevailing Wages. In the event any infrastructure improvements are paid for in whole or in part out of public funds, as contemplated by Labor Code § 1720, Developer must pay prevailing wages for the construction of such improvements to the extent required by Applicable Law. 354 4.11 Term. The term of this Agreement is ten (10) years from the Effective Date (the "Term "). However, Developer or City is entitled to, by written notice to the other Party before the Agreement's. expiration, one (1) five (5) -year extension, provided that the requesting Party is not in material default of this Agreement at such time beyond any applicable period to cure provided for by Section 12 below. Before the expiration of such five (5) -year extension, the Parties may mutually agree to further extensions. In the event of litigation challenging this Agreement, the Term is automatically suspended for the duration of such litigation and resumes upon final disposition of such challenge and any appeal thereof upholding the validity of this Agreement. In the event that a referendum petition concerning this Agreement is duly filed in such a manner that the ordinance approving this Agreement is suspended, then the Term is deemed to commence upon City Council certification of the results of the referendum election approving this Agreement. 4.12 Term of Map(s) and Other Project Approvals. Pursuant to California Government Code §§ 66452.6(a) and 65863.9, the term of any subdivision or parcel map that has been or in the future may be processed on all or any portion of the Campus and the term of each of the Project Approvals will be extended for a period of time through the scheduled termination date of this Agreement as set forth in Section 4.11 above, including any extensions thereto pursuant to Section 4.13 above. 4.13 Satisfaction of Mitigation Measpres and Conditions. In the event that any of the mitigation measures or conditions required of Developer are implemented by others, Developer is conclusively deemed to have satisfied such mitigation measures or conditions, consistent with CEQA. If any such mitigation measures or conditions are rejected by a governmental agency with jurisdiction, Developer may implement reasonably equivalent substitute mitigation, consistent with CEQA, to the City's satisfaction, in lieu of the rejected mitigation measures or conditions. Such substitution is deemed to be a Minor Modification pursuant to the ESSCSP. 4.14 In Lieu Credits. The City must grant Developer in lieu credits, as appropriate, and as specified herein and for those matters set forth on attached Exhibit "E," which is incorporated by reference. 5. Developer Agreements. 5.1 General.

Developer must indicate the City as a registered job site location on the State Board of Equalization Tax Return. In such event, Developer must also obtain a permit or a sub - permit from the State Board of Equalization indicating the City as the registered job site location, in accordance with State Board of Equalization Operations Memorandum No. 1023. 5.3.2 Developer further agrees that if Developer retains contractors or subcontractors to perform a portion of work in the Project, and said contracts or subcontracts are valued at ten million dollars ($10,000,000) or more, said contracts or subcontracts must contain the provisions set forth in Section 5.3.1 above. 5.3.3 The Director of Finance of the City is authorized to relieve Developer, and Developer's contractors and subcontractors, from the requirements set forth in this Section 5.3 upon proof to the reasonable satisfaction of the Director of Finance that Developer and /or its contractors or subcontractors have made good faith efforts to obtain said permit or sub - permits, but were denied the same by the State Board of Equalization. 5.4 Developer's Project must, at a minimum, comply with the current Cal Green Standards. 6. Citv Aureements. 6.1 Expedited Processing.

Without limiting the foregoing, if requested by Developer, City agrees to utilize private planners and plan checkers (upon Developer's request and at Developer's cost) and any other available means to expedite the processing of Project applications, including concurrent processing of such applications by various City departments. 6.2 Processing Cooperation and Assistance. To the extent permitted by law, City must reasonably cooperate with Developer in securing any and all entitlements, authorizations, permits or approvals which may be required by any other governmental or quasi - governmental entity in connection with the development of the Project or the Campus. Without limiting the foregoing, City must reasonably cooperate with the Developer in any dealings with federal, state and other local governmental and quasi - governmental entities concerning issues affecting the Campus. City must keep Developer fully informed with respect to its communications with such agencies which could impact the development of the Campus. City must not take any actions to encourage any other governmental or quasi - governmental entities from withholding any necessary approvals and any such contrary actions on the part of the City must be considered a breach of this Agreement by City. 6.3 Processing During Third Patty Litigation.

Developer agrees to provide City with a 20 -year irrevocable offer of dedication of Parcels 20 and 22 of Vesting Map No. 71551. This dedication may be accepted by City at such time City enters agreements with adjacent landowners located at 363 -365 Coral Circle and 401 Coral Circle to obtain public street access across their property for a roadway to connect Nash Street to Coral Circle. The offer of dedication will allow for fee simple ownership of Parcels 20 and 22 to be transferred to the owners of 363 -365 Coral Circle and 401 Coral Circle, and a public street dedication for a portion of the two parcels to the City for a roadway consistent with the "Local Commercial Street" General Plan Circulation Element Street Classification. 7.8 Traffic Fee In Lieu Credits.

Recreational Access. 9.1 The Specific Plan provides for 7.54 acres of land to be used for Open Space and Recreational purposes. This land must remain private and only available to Raytheon employees. However, should Developer sell more than twenty percent (20 %) of ESSCSP Campus Area (i.e., at least 28.44 acres), to a user other than Raytheon or a Raytheon affiliate, Developer must provide non - Raytheon or Raytheon affiliated employees within the ESSCSP area with permanent access 14 361 to the 7.54 -acre recreational area within the Campus. The access must be formalized through agreements between Raytheon and the purchaser(s) of the property. 9.2 The Developer must record a 20 -year irrevocable offer of dedication of the 7.54 acre recreational /open space area to the City of El Segundo, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for future potential park purposes if located on any of the lots (Parcels 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 13 or 14 of Vesting Map No. 71551) outside the Raytheon security fenced perimeter. 10. Pa rnents after Approval. 10.1 Six Annual Payments. The Developer must make one annual payment of$500,000 and five subsequent annual payments of $700,000 each to the City. Payments will start on March 31, 2016 and occur annually on March 31St, with the final payment due on March 31, 2021. These payments will be deposited to the City's General Fund and may be used for any general purpose identified by the City Council in its sole discretion. The total amount of the six payments is $4,000,000. 10.2 Payment in Year 10. If the Nash Street extension, identified in Section 7. 1, is not completed within 10 years of the effective date of the City Council Ordinance approving the Specific Plan and related entitlements, then the Developer is required to make a $5,000,000 payment not later than the anniversary date that the Ordinance became effective (e.g., if the Ordinance became effective December 1, 2015, then payment would be due not later than December 2, 2025). This payment will be deposited to the City's General Fund and may be used for any general purpose identified by the City Council in its sole discretion. 10.3 Building Permit Fee. Before building permits are issued for any new development (not existing at time of project approval) in the project area, the Developer must pay a $0.50 per gross square -foot fee. All revenue from this fee will be deposited to the City's General Fund and may be used for any general purpose identified by the City Council in its sole discretion. 11. Uniform Codes and Standard Specifications 11.1 Nothing in this Agreement prevents City from applying Uniform Codes to the Project provided that the provisions of any such Uniform Code: 11.1.1 apply to the Project only to the extent that such code is in effect on a City wide basis; 11.1.2 with respect to those portions of any such model code that have been adopted by City without amendment, be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the interpretation and application of such code pursuant to California Law. 11.2 Nothing in this Agreement prevents City from applying to the Project "standard specifications" for public improvements (e.g., streets, storm drainage, parking lot standards, driveway widths) as the same may be adopted or amended from time to time by City, provided that the provisions of any such standards and specifications apply only to the extent they are in effect on a citywide basis and do not conflict with standards contained in the Specific Plan. As 15 362 they concern the Project or the Project Site, to the extent any City Law or other City ordinance, regulation, standard, or specification conflicts with the Specific Plan, the Specific Plan controls unless otherwise provided herein. 11.3 State and Federal Law. As provided in Government Code § 65869.5, in the event that state or federal laws or regulations, enacted after the Vesting Date ( "Changes in the Law ") prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of the Agreement will be, by operation of law, modified or suspended, or performance thereof delayed, as and to the extent may be necessary to comply with such Changes in the Law. In the event any state or federal resources agency (i.e., California Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Regional Water Quality Control Board /State Water Resources Control Board), in connection with its final issuance of a permit or certification for all or a portion of the Project, imposes requirements ( "Permitting Requirements ") that require modifications to the Project, then the parties will work together in good faith to incorporate such changes into the Project; provided, however, that if Developer appeals or challenges any such Permit Requirements, then the parties may defer such changes until the completion of such appeal or challenge. 12. Demonstration of Good Faith Compliance 12.1 Review of Compliance. In accordance with Government Code § 65865.1, this Section 12 and the Applicable Rules, once each year, on or before each anniversary of the Effective Date ( "Periodic Review "), the Director will review the extent of Developer's good faith substantial compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement as well as the performance by the City of its obligations under this Agreement. 12.2 Good Faith Compliance. During each Periodic Review, Developer must demonstrate that, during the preceding twelve (12) month period, that it has been in good faith compliance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase "good faith compliance" means that Developer has demonstrated that it acted in a commercially reasonable manner (taking into account the circumstances which then exist) and in good faith in and has substantially complied with Developer's material obligations under this Agreement. 12.3 City Report - Information to be Provided to Developer. At least fourteen (14) days before the annual Effective Date the City must deliver to Developer a copy of all staff reports prepared in connection with a Periodic Review, any prior staff reports generated during the review period, written comments from the public and, to the extent practical, all related exhibits concerning such Periodic Review ( "City Report"). 12.4 Developer's Report. No later than the annual Effective Date, Developer must submit a written status report to the Director addressing the good faith compliance issue and any issues raised by the City Report,provided to Developer in accordance with Section 12.3 above. 12.5 Notice Of Non - Compliance; Cure Rights. If, after reviewing the Developer's Report, the Director reasonably concludes on the basis of substantial evidence that as to any parcel or parcels comprising the Campus, Developer has not demonstrated that it is in good faith 16 363 compliance with this Agreement the Director may issue and deliver to Developer a written Notice of Violation as set forth in Section 14 below. 12.6 I'UbHe Notice of Finding. Any appeal of the Director's determination (including any appeal by Developer) must be filed within twenty (20) days following such decision. Filing such an appeal tolls the cure period specified in the Notice of Violation. Notwithstanding section 17, an appeal regarding the Notice of Violation must be heard directly by the City Council at a duly- noticed public hearing and the City Council must issue a final decision. Not in limitation of the forgoing, Developer retains the right to challenge City's issuance of any final decision pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure § 1094.5 without complying with the procedures set forth in Section 13.4 below. 12.7 Failure of Periodic Review. The City's failure to review, at least annually, compliance by Developer with the terms and conditions of this Agreement does not constitute nor can it be asserted by any Party as a breach by any other Party of this Agreement. If the City fails to provide the City Report by the Effective Date, Developer will be deemed to be in good faith compliance with this Agreement. 13. Excusable Delays. Performance by any Party of its obligations in this Agreement is excused during any period of "Excusable Delay," as defined, provided that the Party claiming the delay gives notice of the delay to the other Party as soon as reasonably possible after the same has been ascertained. For purposes hereof, Excusable Delay means delay that directly affects, and is beyond the reasonable control of, the Party claiming the delay, including without limitation: (a) civil commotion; (b) riot; (c) strike, picketing or other labor dispute; (d) shortage of materials or supplies; (e) damage to work in progress or delays by reason of fire, flood, including flood due to rains, earthquake, windstorm, or other casualty; (f) reasonably unforeseeable delay caused by a reasonably unforeseeable restriction imposed or mandated by a governmental entity other than City; (g) litigation brought by a third party attacking the validity of a Project Approval, a Future Approval or any other action necessary for development of the Campus; (h) delays caused by any default by the other Party; or (i) delays due to the presence or remediation of hazardous materials. The Term of this Agreement, including any extensions, will automatically be extended by any period of Excusable Delay. 14. Default Provisions. 14.1 Default. Either Party to this Agreement will have breached this Agreement if it materially breaches any of the provisions of this Agreement and the same is not cured within the time set forth in a written notice of violation (the "Notice of Violation ") from the non - breaching Party to the breaching Party, which period of time is not less than ten (10) days following receipt of written notice from the non - breaching Party for monetary defaults, and not less than sixty (60) days following receipt of written notice from the non - breaching Party for non - monetary defaults from the date that the notice is deemed received, provided if the breaching Party cannot reasonably cure a non - monetary default within the time set forth in the notice, then the breaching Party will not be in default if it commences to cure the default within such time limit and diligently effects such cure thereafter. If City determines that a default may have occurred, City may choose to terminate this Agreement in which case it must give written notice to Developer of its intention to terminate and comply with the notice and public hearing requirements of Government Code §§ 17 364 65867 and 65868. At the time and place set for the hearing on termination, Developer will be given an opportunity to be heard. If the City Council finds based upon the evidence that Developer is in breach of this Agreement, the City Council may modify or terminate this Agreement; provided, however, if Developer initiates a resolution of dispute in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.4 below within sixty (60) days following the City Council's determination that Developer is in breach of this Agreement, the City Council's decision to modify or terminate this Agreement is stayed until the issue has been resolved through informal procedures, mediation, or court proceedings. 14.2 Content of Notice of Violation. Every Notice of Violation must state with specificity that it is given pursuant to this Section of the Agreement, the nature of the alleged breach, (including references to the pertinent provisions of this Agreement), the portion of the Campus involved, and the manner in which the breach may be satisfactorily cured. Notice must be given in accordance with Section 23 hereof. 14.3 Remedies for Breach. The Parties agree that the remedies for breach of this Agreement are limited to the remedies expressly set forth in this subsection. The remedies for breach of this Agreement by City or Developer are limited to injunctive relief and /or specific performance. 14.4 Resolution of Disputes. City and Developer agree to attempt to settle any claim, dispute or controversy arising from this Agreement through consultation and negotiation in good faith and in a spirit of mutual cooperation. If those attempts fail, the dispute may be mediated by a mediator chosen jointly by City and Developer within thirty (3 0) days after notice by one of the parties demanding non - binding mediation. Neither party may unreasonably withhold consent to the selection of a mediator, and City and Developer will share the cost of the mediation equally. The parties may agree to engage in some other form of non - binding alternate dispute resolution ( "ADR ") procedure in lieu of mediation. Any dispute that cannot be resolved between the parties through negotiation or mediation within two months after the date of the initial demand for non- binding mediation may then be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction in the County of Los Angeles, California. 14.5 Attorneys Fees and Costs. Each party to this Agreement agrees to waive any entitlement of attorneys' fees and costs incurred with respect to any dispute arising from this Agreement. The parties will each bear their own attorneys' fees and costs in the event of any dispute. 15. Mortgap-ee Protection. This Agreement does not prevent or limit the Developer, in any manner, at Developer's sole discretion, from encumbering the Campus or any portion thereof or any improvements thereon by any mortgage, deed of trust or other security device. City acknowledges that the lender(s) providing such financing ( "Mortgagee ") may require certain Agreement interpretations and agrees, upon request, from time to time, to meet with Developer and representatives of such lender(s) to provide within a reasonable time period City's response to such requested interpretations. City will not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requested interpretation, provided that such interpretation is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Any Mortgagee of a mortgage or a beneficiary of a deed of trust or any successor or assign thereof, including without limitation the purchaser at a judicial or non judicial 18 365 foreclosure sale or a person or entity who obtains title by deed -in -lieu of foreclosure on the Campus must be entitled to the following rights and privileges: 15.1 Mortgage Not rendered Invalid. Neither entering into this Agreement nor a breach of this Agreement will defeat, render invalid, diminish, or impair the priority of the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust on the Campus made in good faith and for value. No Mortgagee has an obligation or duty under this Agreement to perform Developer's obligations, or to guarantee such performance, before taking title to all or a portion of the Campus. 15.2 Request for Notice to Mortgagee. The Mortgagee of any mortgage or deed of trust encumbering the Campus, or any part thereof, who has submitted a request in writing to the City in the manner specified herein for giving notices, is entitled to receive a copy of any Notice of Violation delivered to the Developer. 15.3 Mortgagee's Time to Cure. City must provide a copy of any Notice of Violation to the Mortgagee within ten (10) days of sending the Notice of Violation to Developer. The Mortgagee has the right, but not the obligation, to cure the default for a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of such Notice of Violation or such longer period of time as may be specified in the Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such default is a default which can only be remedied by such Mortgagee obtaining possession of a Campus, or any portion thereof, and such Mortgagee seeks to obtain possession, such Mortgagee has until sixty (60) days after the date of obtaining such possession to cure or, if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such period, to commence to cure such default, provided that such default is cured no later than one (1) year after Mortgagee obtains such possession. 15.4 Cure Rights. Any Mortgagee who takes title to all of the Campus, or any part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, will succeed to the rights and obligations of Developer under this Agreement as to the Campus or portion thereof so acquired; provided, however, in no event is such Mortgagee liable for any defaults or monetary obligations of Developer arising before acquisition of title to the Campus by such Mortgagee, except that any such Mortgagee is not entitled to a building permit or occupancy certificate until all delinquent and current fees and other monetary or non - monetary obligations due under this Agreement for the Campus, or portion thereof acquired by such Mortgagee, have been satisfied. 15.5 Bankruptcy. If any Mortgagee is prohibited from commencing or prosecuting foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature of foreclosure by any process or injunction issued by any court or by reason of any action by any court having jurisdiction of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving Developer, the times specified in Section 14.3 above will be extended for the period of the prohibition, except that any such extension cannot extend the Term of this Agreement. 15.6 Disaffirmation. If this Agreement is terminated as to any portion of the Campus by reason of (i) any default or (ii) as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement is disaffirmed by a receiver, liquidator, or trustee for Developer or its property, City, if requested by any Mortgagee, will negotiate in good faith with such Mortgagee for a new development agreement for the Project as to such portion of the Campus with the most senior Mortgagee requesting such 19 366 new agreement. This agreement does not require any Mortgagee or the City to enter into a new development agreement pursuant to this Section. 16. Estoppel Certificate. At any time and from time to time, Developer may deliver written notice to City and City may deliver written notice to Developer requesting that such Party certify in writing that, to the knowledge of the certifying Party: (i) this Agreement is in full force and effect and a binding obligation of the Parties; (ii) this Agreement has not been amended, or if amended, the identity of each amendment; and (iii) the requesting Party is not in breach of this Agreement, or if in breach, a description of each such breach. The Party receiving such a request must execute and return the certificate within thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice. The failure of City to deliver such a written notice within such time constitutes a conclusive presumption against City that, except as may be represented by Developer, this Agreement is in full force and effect without modification, and that there are no uncured defaults in the performance of the Developer. The Director is authorized to execute, on behalf of City, any Estoppel Certificate requested by Developer. City acknowledges that a certificate may be relied upon by successors in interest to Developer who requested the certificate and by holders of record of deeds of trust on the portion of the Campus in which that Developer has a legal interest. 17. Administration of Agreement. 17.1 Appeal of Determinations. Any decision by City staff concerning the interpretation or administration of this Agreement or development of the Campus in accordance herewith may be appealed by Developer to the Planning Commission, and thereafter, if necessary, to the City Council pursuant to the El Segundo Municipal Code. Developer cannot seek judicial review of any staff decision without first having exhausted its remedies pursuant to this Agreement. Final determinations by the City Council are subject to judicial review subject to the restrictions and limitations of California law. 17.2 Operating Memoranda. The provisions of this Agreement require a close degree of cooperation between City and Developer. During the Term of this Agreement, clarifications to this Agreement and the Applicable Rules may be appropriate with respect to the details of performance of City and Developer. If and when, from time to time, during the terms of this Agreement, City and Developer agree that such clarifications are necessary or appropriate, they will effectuate such clarification through a memoranda approved in writing by City and Developer (the "Operating Memoranda "), which, after execution, will be attached hereto and become part of this Agreement and the same may be further clarified from time to time as necessary with future written approval by City and Developer. Operating Memoranda are not intended to and do not constitute an amendment to this Agreement but are mere ministerial clarifications, therefore public notices and hearings are not required. The City Attorney is authorized, upon consultation with, and approval of, the Developer, to determine whether a requested clarification may be effectuated pursuant to this Section or whether the requested clarification is of such character to constitute an amendment hereof which requires compliance with the provisions of Section 18 below. The authority to enter into such Operating Memoranda is hereby delegated to the Director, and the Director is hereby authorized to execute any Operating Memoranda hereunder without further City Council action. 17.3 Certificate of Performance. Upon the completion of the Project, or the completion of development of any parcel within the Project, or upon completion of performance of this 20 367 Agreement or its earlier revocation and termination, City must provide Developer, upon Developer's request, with a statement ( "Certificate of Performance ") evidencing said completion or revocation and the release of Developer from further obligations hereunder, except for any ongoing obligations hereunder. The Certificate of Performance must be signed by the appropriate agents of Developer and City and be recorded in the official records of Los Angeles County, California. Such Certificate of Performance is not a notice of completion as referred to in Civil Code § 3093. 18. Amendment or Termination by Mutual Consent. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement may only be amended or terminated, in whole or in part, by mutual consent of City and Developer, and upon compliance with the provisions of Government Code §§ 65867 and 65867.5. 19. Indemnification/Defense. 19.1 Indemnification. Developer agrees to indemnify and hold the City harmless from and against any claim, action, damages, costs (including, without limitation, attorney's fees), injuries, or liability, arising from the City's approval of Project, this Agreement, Developer's performance of this Agreement, and all procedures with approving this Agreement (collectively, "Discretionary Approvals "), except to the extent such is a result of the City's sole negligence or intentional misconduct. Should the City be named in any suit, or should any claim be brought against it by suit or otherwise, whether the same be groundless or not, arising out of the Discretionary Approvals, Developer agrees to defend the City (at the City's request and with counsel satisfactory to the City) and will indemnify the City for any judgment rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise, except to the extent such action is a result of the City's sole negligence or intentional misconduct. For purposes of this Section "the City" includes the City of El Segundo's elected officials, appointed officials, officers, and employees. 19.2 Defense of Agreement. If City accepts Developer's indemnification and defense as provided in Section 19.1 above, City agrees to and must timely take all actions which are necessary or required to uphold the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Discretionary Approvals, Project Approvals, Development Standards and the Applicable Rules. This Section 18 will survive the termination of this Agreement. 20. Cooperation in the Event of Legal Challenge. 20.1 Third P Challenges. In the event of any administrative, legal or equitable action or other proceeding instituted by any person or entity not a party to the Agreement challenging the validity of any provision of this Agreement, challenging any Approval, or challenging the sufficiency of any environmental review of either this Agreement or any Approval under CEQA (each a "Third Party Challenge "), each party must cooperate in the defense of such Third Party Challenge, in accordance with this Section. Developer agrees to pay City's costs of defending a Third Party Challenge, including all court costs and reasonable attorney's fees expended by City (including the time and cost of the City Attorney) in defense of any Third Party Action, as well as the time of City's staff spent in connection with such defense. Developer may select its own legal counsel to represent Developer's interests in any Third Party Challenge at Developer's sole cost and expense. City agrees that it will not enter into a settlement agreement to any Third Party Challenge without Developer's written consent. Developer's obligation to pay City's costs in the 21 368 defense of a Third Party Challenge does not extend to those costs incurred on appeal unless otherwise authorized by Developer in writing. 20.2 Third Party Challenges Related to the Applicability Ci Laws. The provisions of this Section will apply only in the event of a legal or equitable action or other proceeding, before a court of competent jurisdiction, instituted by any person or entity not a party to the Agreement challenging the applicability to the Project or Project Site of a conflicting City Law (a "Third Party Enforcement Action "): 20.2.1 In the event of a Third Party Enforcement Action, City must (i) promptly notify Developer of such action or proceeding, and (ii) stipulate to Developer's intervention as a party to such action or proceeding unless Developer has already been named as a respondent or real party in interest to such action or proceeding. In no event will City take any action that would frustrate, hinder, or otherwise complicate Developer's efforts to intervene, join or otherwise participate as a party to any Third Party Enforcement Action. As requested by Developer, City must use its best efforts to ensure that Developer is permitted to intervene, join or otherwise participate as a party to any Third Party Enforcement Action. If, for any reason, Developer is not permitted to intervene, join or otherwise participate as a party to any Third Party Enforcement Action, the parties to this Agreement agree to cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by law, in the defense of such action or proceeding. For purposes of this Section, the required cooperation between the parties includes, without limitation, developing litigation strategies, preparing litigation briefs and other related documents, conferring on all aspects of the litigation, developing settlement strategies, and, to the extent permitted by law, jointly making significant decisions related to the relevant litigation, throughout the course thereof. 20.2.2 City's costs of defending any Third Party Enforcement Action, including all court costs, and reasonable attorney's fees expended by City (including the time and cost of the City Attorney) in defense of any Third Party Enforcement Action, as well as the time of City's staff spent in connection with such defense (the "Enforcement Action Defense Costs), will be paid in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, in no event will the Enforcement Action Defense Costs extend to, nor will Developer or the Project be obligated to pay, any costs incurred on appeal unless otherwise authorized by Developer in writing; 20.2.3 City must not enter into a settlement agreement or take any other action to resolve any Third Party Enforcement Action without Developer's written consent. City cannot, without Developer's written consent, take any action that would frustrate, hinder or otherwise prevent Developer's efforts to settle or otherwise resolve any Third Party Enforcement Action. 20.2.4 Provided that City complies with this Section and provided that Developer is a party to the relevant Third Party Enforcement Action, Developer agrees to be bound by any final judgment (i.e., following all available appeals) arising out of a Third Party Enforcement Action and further agrees that no default under this Agreement will arise if such final judgment requires City to apply to the Project or Project Site a City Law that conflicts with Applicable Law or this Agreement. 21.
