BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Recap of the Auaast 29, 2016 Spacial ►ueetin
it
On August 29, 2016, Staff presented to City Council all General Fund revenues and expenditures
as of the 3rd Quarter and the projected Year -End estimates for Fiscal Year 2015 -2016. It was
reported that the year -end revenues are estimated to be $64.6 million, or $1.4 million higher than
the adopted budget. While the year -end expenditures are estimated to be $63.7 million, or
14
$700,000 less than the adopted budget. This results is an ending General Fund balance of
$14,101,572 for FY 2015 -16.
Table 1: Estimated General Fund Balance at September 30, 2016
Beginning Fund Balance at October 1, 2015
Plus revised estimated revenues for FY 2015 -16
Less revised estimated expenditures for FY 2015 -16
13,154,589
64,629,167
(63,682,184)
Staff then presented the proposed FY 2016 -17 budget. Staff projects General Fund revenues to
be $67.8 million, of which, $57.5 million comes from various taxes. The biggest single source
of tax revenue is Sales & Use Tax, estimated at $12.2 million, followed by Business Licenses at
$11.5 million; Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) $9.6 million; Utility Users' Tax $7.2 million;
and Property Tax at $7.1 million. Other taxes include Franchises $3.2 million and the Tax
Resolution Agreement (TRA) with Chevron for $6.3 million. Other sources come from Charges
for Services $4.8 million; Other Licenses & Permits $1.7 million. The balance is made up of
miscellaneous sources.
The proposed expenditures, including inter -fund transfers of $600,000, total $66.642 million; an
increase of $2.3 million or 3.7% compared to the current year's adopted budget. Major increases
are attributed to: Workers' Compensation $1.4 million; Group Insurance $829,838; Retirement
(CalPERS) Contribution $389,386; Leave Payouts $182,700; FICA $109,927; Contractual
Services $187,389; Software Maintenance $62,374; Training & Education $94,000; in- Custody
Medical Charges $14,900; and Lease Payment $5,950. Some of these increases are offset by
decreases in the following categories: Regular Salaries ($188,782) due to workforce transition;
401(a) Contribution ($259,800) due to termination of this benefit.
The City is still in negotiations with 5 labor groups therefore the forecast is being created based
on the continuation of the status quo of the current contracts. Any resolution that increases
salary and benefit costs will need to come from reserves.

Policy Option discussion on reserve levels for the General Fund
The City Council's current reserve policy directs the General Fund reserve to increase from
current level of 19% to 20% of the greater of appropriated revenues or expenditures for FY
2016 -17. City Council has the discretion to slowdown the rate of achieving the 20% reserve by
setting the actual funding of the reserve to be less than 20% for FY 2016 -17 with the objective of
funding the 20% in future years.
Four options were presented for City Council's consideration in determining the level of General
Fund reserves. City Council unanimously directed staff to proceed with reserve policy option 4,
18% of General Fund expenditures. This policy reserve option will provide $3.26 million in
undesignated General Fund reserves. The City Manager has recommended (Attachment A)
priorities to be funded with this $3.26 million in undesignated General Fund reserves.
The Economic Uncertainty reserve is proposed to be set at $1,500,000 for FY 2016 -17. This is
an increase of $250,000 over the current year reserve balance. When the Economic Uncertainty
reserve is added to the General Fund reserve of 18 %, the total reserve level increases to 20.3 %.

Plus GF Reserve $11,995,635
Total Gross GF Reserves $13,495,635
Total Reserve as a % of policy 20.3%
The additional General Fund policy options discussed were:
• Policy Option I will require a General Fund reserve of 20% or $13,559,312. This would
have left $13M as undesignated funds for Council's discretion.
16
Policy Option 2 - The City Council's FY 2015 -16 General Fund reserve is at 19% of the
greater of appropriated revenues or expenditures. Policy option 2 proposed to retain this
same funding policy for the FY 2016 -17 budget. This would have required a General
Fund reserve of $12,881,346. This would have left $2.4M as undesignated funds for
Council's discretion, approximately $700,000 over policy option 1.
• Policy Option 3 — This policy option proposed to change the funding from 19% of "the
greater of revenues or expenditures" to 19% of "expenditures ". With the proposed FY
2016 -17 budget, going with policy option 3 would have required a General Fund reserve
of $12,662,059. This would have left $2.6M as undesignated funds for Council's
discretion: approximately $900,000 over policy option 1 and $200,000 over policy option
2.
For purposes of the September 6 meeting, Staff will present funding priorities as recommended
by the City Manager as it relates to policy option 4. Staff will also present the departmental
expenditure requests that did not get recommended for funding. City Council will discuss and
provide direction to staff on the funding of the identified priorities as listed in Attachment A
(City Manager's recommendations) and Attachment B (the additional General Fund requests that
are unfunded). The funding priorities will be tied to the Strategic Goals identified in the August
3, Strategic Planning meeting.

Consideration and possible action to modify the El Segundo Ambulance Transport Fee Structure
(Fiscal Impact: Unknown).
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Authorize and approve the adoption of the Annual Los Angeles County General Public
Ambulance Rates in its Entirety and;
2. Provide direction related to the continuance of the current practice of ambulance transport
billing;
3. Alternately, discuss and take other action related to this item.

ORIGINATED BY: Chris Donovan, Fire Chief
REVIEWED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manage
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: The topic of this staff report dates back many years and
addresses questions related to the City of El Segundo ambulance transport program. This report
presents for discussion topics related to one of the most important services that the fire department
provides; ensuring efficient and effective pre - hospital emergency medical care for the sick and
injured. This service includes: Patient assessments using medical equipment commonly found in
hospitals; Patient treatment such as oxygen and intravenous (IV) therapy; and transport to local
hospitals with two nationally accredited paramedics attending to the patient. As part of this
service, the fire department charges insurance companies in compliance with the County of Los
Angeles Emergency Medical Services Agency (EMSA) General Public Ambulance Rates. Each
year the maximum allowable ambulance rates chargeable to the general public are reviewed and
modified by Los Angeles EMSA according to the methodology as described in the Los Angeles
County Ordinance Title 7 Business Licenses, Chapter 7.16 Ambulances. El Segundo follows this
annual billing with minor modifications that remove billing for services and supplies such as pulse
oximeters, disposable medical supplies, cervical collars and backboards to name a few charges.
22
In 2014 the department responded to 1,564 Emergency Medical Service (EMS) calls in which 918
patients were transported to local hospitals. In 2015 the department responded to 1,647 EMS calls
in which 995 patients were transported to local hospitals. Those EMS calls which did not generate
an ambulance transport received no bill. Otherwise each of the transports fell into one of two
categories; Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS). BLS transports are those
medical calls in which the patient doesn't require advanced medical treatment enroute to the
hospital, but they do require ambulance transport with paramedic support (as opposed to private
vehicle transport). In contrast ALS calls require advanced assessment and treatment modalities
such as Intravenous (IV) access, airway management through intubation (placing a tube into a
patient's trachea and manually delivering life - saving oxygen) and other advanced medical
treatments, as well as code three driving using emergency lights and siren. Given the high level
of pre - hospital patient care delivered by the fire department paramedics ALS calls are charged a
higher rate.
In fiscal year 2013 -14 the overall cost of the paramedic program was $2,482,924 and the
department collected $636,313 (25.6% of paramedic program costs) in ambulance transport
revenues. In 2014 -15 the overall cost of the program was $2,592,741 and the department collected
$785,742 (30% of paramedic program costs) in ambulance transport revenues. The increase in
revenues was $149,429 and can be attributed to three factors:
• The number of EMS calls for service increased by 77
• The Los Angeles County EMSA ambulance transport rates increased
• *Residential Co -Pay was implemented
*In 2014, following strategic planning, the City implemented a new policy for the full collection
of ambulance transport charges; a practice known as residential patient co -pay. This action was a
result of the economic downturn and provided a new revenue option. The breakdown in the
increased fees between 2014 and 2015 is presented below:
Cause of Increased Transport Revenues
Revenue Amount
Increase in EMS Calls (77 more calls)
$60,753
Increase in Los Angeles County EMSA ambulance rates
$23,153
Implementation of Residential Co -Pay
$65,523
It is very important to note that most insurance carriers, including Medicare, Medi -cal and Kaiser
have contractual write downs procedures for ambulance transport charges. What this means is the
gross amount billed for ambulance transport service in Los Angeles County is substantially
reduced following consultation between Federal Social Security officials, California State Medi-
Cal officials and other private insurance carriers. In addition, it is not un- common for ambulance
transport costs, which insurance companies deem unnecessary on behalf of their insured member,
to go to collections and eventually be written off by the City as bad debt. Below is an example of
the most up -to -date El Segundo ambulance transport charges from August 2015 to July 2016 (12
month period):

There exists many options available to all ambulance providers, both private and public, for
ambulance transport charges making it possible to establish local policies that are in the best
interest of the community served. The only stipulation is ambulance transport charges cannot
exceed the allowable maximum in the rate schedule established annually by Los Angeles County
EMSA.
Previously, the City decided to modify some of the allowable charges, such as disposable medical
supplies and volume ventilator and was therefore, not able to collect on all of the allowable
charges. The table below identifies the charges for El Segundo ambulance transport service that
could be billed to insurance companies on behalf of their insured members. Staff does not
recommend changing the current policy of residential ambulance co -pay collection, however if a
policy decision is made to change that practice, staff suggests including these Los Angeles General
Public Ambulance Rates, in its entirety, to off -set any potential loss of revenue.
Furthermore, the proposed charges are common and predictable for insurance companies and are
reimbursed to the City following write -down procedures called out earlier in this report. The
following is a breakdown in the ambulance transport billing that staff recommends. These charges
follow the 2016 -17 Los Angeles County EMSA General Public Ambulance Rates:
*Basic Life Support Transport
$1,776
*Advanced Life Support Transport
$1,900
Travel to hospital per mile
$18
Oxygen Administration
$92
Volume ventilator
$172
Disposable medical supplies
$27
*Patients can only be billed for either Basic Life Support or Advanced Life Support, not both
The on -going discussion related to ambulance transport charge is as much about policy as it is
about ambulance charges and revenues. The reality is, regardless of the decision the City Council
makes related to ambulance charges, the service provided by the Fire Department is by far the
most effective and efficient method to deliver life- saving care to the residents, business workers
and visitors alike. The two - paramedic transport model is the gold standard in the industry and is
an essential service provided by the El Segundo Fire Department. Moreover, the residents have
become accustom to the exceptional life safety service delivered by El Segundo fire personnel and
the department goes to great length to ensure those in need are provided only the finest care
available.
24
Based on the information provided above it is the recommendation to 1) Authorize and approve
the adoption of the Annual Los Angeles County General Public Ambulance Rates in its Entirety
and; 2) Provide direction related to ambulance transport billing.

of the transportation portion and of the medical portion of the Consumer Price Index for All
Urban Consumers, Western Region, as compiled and reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
for the 12 -month period ending with the last day of the prior month of February. Beginning July
1, 2017, and on every July 1 thereafter, such adjustments shall be determined by multiplying
seventy -five (75) percent of the base amounts by the percentage change of the minimum wage
change in Los Angeles County as defined in County Code Section 8.100 .040 - Minimum Wage
and by multiplying twenty -five (25) percent of the base amounts by the percentage change of
the Medical Care line item of the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Customers, Western
Region, as compiled and reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the 12 -month period
ending with the last day of the prior month of February, except for the following changes:

be determined by multiplying the current charge by the percentage change of the minimum
wage change in Los Angeles County as defined in County Code Section 8.100 .040 - Minimum
Wage: mileage adjustment shall be determined by multiplying the current charge for the
percentage change of the transportation line item of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Customers, Western Region, as compiled and reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the
12 -month period ending with the last day of the prior month of February: and Oxygen,
Disposable Medical Supplies, and a Ventilator adjustment shall be determined by multiplying the
current charges by the percentage change of the Medical Care line item of the Consumer Price
Index for all of the Customers, Western Region, as compiled and reported by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics for the 12 month period ending with the last day of the prior month of February.
The result so determined shall be rounded to the nearest whole number and added or
subtracted, as appropriate, to the rate. The result so determined shall be rounded to the
nearest whole number and added or subtracted, as appropriate, to the rate. The Director of the
Department of Health Services, or authorized designee, shall initiate implementation of these

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 6, 2016
AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Unfinished Business
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action to dissolve the existing Community Cable Advisory
Committee and possibly combine it with another established Commission or Committee.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Discuss the options as presented in the staff report; and,
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

ORIGINATED BY: Dan O'Toole, Community Cable Program Manager aT--
REVIEWED BY: Meredith Petit, Director of Recr_egtion & Parks _'IS4 tia rnr
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The El Segundo Community Cable Advisory Committee (ESCCAC) was established to
recommend, report and advise the City Council on programming for the El Segundo Community
Cable (ESCC) channels carried locally on Time Warner Cable and recently on AT &T. The
Committee's purpose was to provide five interested members of the community to represent the
local residents to recommend content used for community, educational and governmental
programming on the channels. The ESCCAC has not had a full five - member committee since
2013. Currently, the ESCCAC has only two active members, and therefore, is unable to hold
meetings due to a lack of quorum.
As the form of media for our residents evolves and expands to multiple contents and deliveries,
we hope to develop increased outreach that will include all aspects of our city. With the
expansion of new media demands comes opportunities that currently go beyond traditional
television channels, such as alternative media, social media platforms, YouTube, High Definition
Programming, websites, etc., to develop enhanced outreach to our El Segundo customers. The
Community Cable Division has evolved as a result of technological advances and cultural shifts,
and is more appropriately becoming an all- encompassing division of "Media Services." Media is
defined as the means of communication that reach or influence people widely, or a medium of
cultivation, conveyance, or expression. The Division also increasingly responds to requests from
internal City departments and often performs functions of video creation, content editing, graphic
design and visual media technical support.
3
WE
Due to the evolution of the Division and the lack of membership on the CCAC it is necessary to
review the structure in which community representatives participate in recommending program
content and delivery methods of such programs. A likely solution would be to dissolve the
existing CCAC and absorb those functions into another established committee, such as the
Recreation and Parks Commission or the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee.
The Community Cable Division was relocated to the Recreation and Parks Department in 2010.
The unique Division in the past has also been assigned to the City Manager's and Library
Departments. The Recreation and Parks Commission is charged with making recommendations
to the City Council in all matters pertaining to Department functions, such as parks, recreation
programs and facilities, parkways and street trees, field scheduling, acquisition of property,
capital improvement projects, and allocating resources. It could be added to their purview to also
review and advise in the areas related to the Community Cable Division, as the functions of the
division have become a regular and integral component of the department.
The Arts and Culture Advisory Committee was recently established by the City Council on
August 2, 2016. While it is not yet fully functional, this committee is intended for the purposes
of advising the City Council on promoting, encouraging, and increasing support for the City's
artistic and cultural assets, integrating arts and culture into community life and showcasing El
Segundo as a vibrant destination. The inclusion of the Community Cable Advisory Committee
would fit best in this committee if the Division were in fact redefined and renamed to encompass
a broader scope as the Media Services Division. In that case, the committee could become the
Arts, Culture and Media Advisory Committee, whereas the association of this component would
be as a participant in cultivating or expressing ideas, rather than that of simply promoting the
activities of the committee.
In summary, the City Council shall review and discuss the following options and select one or a
combination:
• Determine that the existing CCAC shall remain as is and focus on soliciting interested
parties to apply and be appointed to the vacant seats
• Determine there is no need for an advisory committee related to the Community Cable
Division and dissolve the CCAC and do not reassign its functions to another committee
• Determine to redefine and rename the Community Cable Division to Media Services
Division
• Determine that the Recreation and Parks Commission should absorb the functions of the
CCAC as part of its overall Department oversight
• Determine that the CCAC be added as a component to the newly established Arts and
Culture Advisory Committee and possibly rename the committee to reflect its inclusion

REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Planning and Building Safety Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
I. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On April 5, 2016, Staff provided the Council with a report on the impacts and development patterns
that took place in the 10 years prior to and the 10 years after implementation of the 2006 zoning
code amendments related to R -1 standards. After discussion regarding the R -1 modulation
requirements, on a 4 -0 vote, the Council directed Staff to prepare a zoning code amendment that
would clean -up the development standards and improve or eliminate the modulation requirements
in the R -1 zone. In accordance with the Council's direction, on August 25, 2016, Staff took an
item to the Planning Commission regarding modulation in the R -1 zone. At the meeting Staff
presented various alternatives to the current modulation requirements, and sought public input and
Planning Commission direction.
After discussing the alternatives presented to them, the Planning Commission felt that additional
information was needed and that a subcommittee should be formed to study alternatives and to
present their findings in a public forum. As such, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to
request that the City Council create a subcommittee to study modulation alternatives. It is
anticipated that the subcommittee will meet two to four times before returning with a
recommendation.

32
The Planning Commission also recommended that the subcommittee be comprised of two planning
commissioners, be of a manageable size (not more than seven members) and be representative of
stakeholders in the community. Stakeholders may include a homeowner, an architect, a developer,
structural engineer, in addition to whomever else the Council deems appropriate.

SUMMARY
The following begins to convert the discussion on August 3 into an outline for El Segundo's strategic plan. These elements
complement the existing mission, the vision in development from the June meeting, and the operational shifts from that
meeting as well. At this stage it is still in a very preliminary draft for continued development and discussion.
Page 1 of 5
wt
Customer Service & Engagement
Goal 1a: El Segundo will deepen Its customer focus at the City resulting in unparalleled service to Internal and
external customers
Desired Outcome: The result of this should be that
• El Segundo is available as a virtual city with virtual services (i.e., online, paperless, 24/7)
Services are convenient and efficient for all resident and businesses
There are multiple points of entry for services, whether one -click or one -call away
Requirements: In order for this to be the case:
• El Segundo must operate as unified "City" rather than as "departments" (i.e., break down silos)
° There must be comprehensive service and contact data systems for easy access across departments
as well as centralized, searchable repositories of information for both internal and external access
There must be clear education of the public re who to call, when, and what to expect. Likewise,
staff must be knowledgeable about the whole City and have the ability to problem -solve
Staff are able to say "yes" to requests by offering solutions to the underlying need — even if it is
facilitating a referral to another source with a clean, easy handoff
• This assumes cross - tralning and cross - communication so that staff can anticipate the potential
Impact of an action in one department on the work of others
• Finally, this requires continuous improvement and questioning of assumptions paired with systems
that allow good Ideas to move up the chain for implementation
Goal 1b: El Segundo will deepen Its customer focus at the City resulting In understanding and exceeding
customer expectations through comprehensive community / stakeholder engagement
Desired Outcome: The result of this should be that
• Services are delivered in a pro- active fashion with outreach to ensure all can access them
Requirements: In order for this to be the case:
El Segundo must engage in regular, intentional information gathering such as through
An annual survey of residents and businesses
Regular satisfaction questionnaires following service or events
Use of "would you recommend / refer" questioning as used by many businesses
Use of personal outreach throughout the year
•
El Segundo must be transparent to Its constituents with regard to
Services provided (and thus not provided)
Service contacts and processes
Availability of the City's key performance indicators
El Segundo must develop a comprehensive and Integrated approach to external communication
that Is multi- channel, accessible to all, and targeted to the needs of specific segments of the
community, kinds of activities / services
Page 2 of 5
WE
Choice Employer & Work Force
Goal 2: El Segundo will advance as an employer and workforce so that It:
• Becomes a City employer of choice and consistently hires for the future
• Maintains an Inspired, world - class, engaged workforce with a level of employee engagement that
reduces turnover and Increases Innovation
Desired Outcome: The result of this should be that
• El Segundo has a culture of innovation, trust and efficiency
• El Segundo's staff enjoy mastery, autonomy and purpose In their work — pride
Staff, leadership and departments recognize that all boats rise together, e.g.:
Innovation in one department Is shared across the City
The City comes before competition for resources
Centralization and consistency Is valued
Success is celebrated
Requirements: In order for this to be the case:
• El Segundo must realize that success in this area is a pre - requisite for success in Its other goals
El Segundo must have a comprehensive, Intentional approach to staff development and training
that promises opportunities for development In a "succession organization"
•
El Segundo must be able to provide a competitive environment (e.g., compensation within an
acceptable zone, incentives, equipment, facilities) through a nimble hiring and onboarding process
•
El Segundo must have a strong culture of Internal customer service, retention first, and process for
internal feedback
Safe & Prepared City
This goal area is less developed than the first two and would benefit from additional work from staff.
Goal 3: El Segundo will be a safe and prepared city
• Public Health & Safety
• Police & Fire
• Disaster
Desired Outcome: The result of this should be that
• El Segundo has a proactive approach to risk and crime
• El Segundo has a proactive approach communication and community engagement to that
perceptions of safety align with reality
• El Segundo focuses metrics on prevention and positive outcomes as well as frequency and response
• El Segundo approaches preparation and safety In a financially responsible way
Requirements: In order for this to be the case:
All hazard mitigation and emergency services
Have appropriate plans and Industry accreciltations In place
Are prepared to respond and pro - actively work to prevent Incidents
Respond appropriately when called upon with positive outcomes
Are able to recover within Industry standards
Page 3 of 5
41
Infrastructure & Environment
This goal area is less developed than the first two and would benefit from additional work from staff.
Goal 4: El Segundo will be consistently Invest In its infrastructure so that the City can continue as an
appealing, safe, and effectively functioning City comparable to Its Ideal peer group
Desired Outcome: The result of this should be that
El Segundo is able to
First, maintain its physical assets for the beauty, safety and function of the city
Second, improve and replace existing assets as appropriate for efficiency
o Third, engage in new initiatives that continue to move the city forward
cl Fourth, engage In prospective thinking that allows the city to do more than keep up
Requirements: In order for this to be the case:
• El Segundo must continually assess Its assets to optimize resources
• El Segundo must develop and maintain appropriate revenue streams and reserve fund to keep each
of the four categories above moving forward at a consistent pace
Technology
There is some debate as to whether or not this should be a goal area or a set of strategies embedded within the others.
While from a strictly "strategic" point of view, technology is not a core function of the city so may not fit within the
definition of a goal. However, from an organizational development perspective, the City's technology needs at this
moment in time are such that they need the focused attention that comes from placing them at the goal (v. strategy) level.
As such, it may fall away in subsequent plans while other goals remain. This seems wholly appropriate to the situation at
hand.
Goal 5: El Segundo will develop and optimize Its use of an Infrastructure for technology so that the City can
work effectively, efficiently, and proactively — maintaining Its position as a city of Innovation
Desired Outcome: The result of this should be that
Requirements: In order for this to be the case, El Segundo must:
• Create effective structure for Integrated focus on the technology needs of the city and Its
constituents
• Align staff as appropriate to support technology goals
• Ensure City employees receive appropriate training to use systems effectively
• Regularly assess technology in place and market trends in order to meet other technology goals
• Continue to optimize systems already In use, and maintain their capabilities with timely upgrades
• Invest in systems as necessary In order to
o Increase paperless function of the City for ease of access and transparency of process;
o Add citizen value (e.g,, allow for onllne transactions with the City across departments); and
Ensure secure, reliable, disaster resilient function and data access at all times
• Develop an updated and user friendly website that
o Is easily navigable
o Communicating City's ability to meet citizen and business service expectations;
* Attracts new business; and
o Is feature -rich.
• Provide access to information that Is
o Easily available,
o Engage residents In civic participation, and
Provide mass notification

Fiscal Sustainability
Rather than delve into this goal area, the group discussed various studies and discussions that need to take place over the
course of the coming year. These discussions will either confirm or revise fiscal policy in order to achieve the goals above.
Values & Culture
As part of the day's discussion, the group also began to brainstorm a set of values for the City to espouse. This will need
additional work in the months to come. For the moment the list includes the following:
El Segundo values;
• Accountability
• Productivity
• Ethics
• Stewardship
• Service
• Continuous improvement and reflection
• Challenging ourselves
El Segundo works to create a working culture of
• Support and recognition
Proactive action
Innovation
• Leadership by example
• Problem- solving — getting to yes
NEXT STEPS
City Council and staff will take a side step in late August to discuss the 1016 -2017 budget so that it may be approved in
September.
Subsequent to that, Council and staff should return to this process to finalize goals, strategies and outcomes.
Staff will continue work on selecting key performance indicators and begin planning for quarterly reports to the City
Council.
If we take a step back from the process thus far, it is clear that the City is not only focusing on a few core areas (customer
service, the work environment, safety, technology, infrostructure, and fiscal sustainability) it is beginning a transition from
a traditional department structure to more of a matrix. Such a shift does not take away any departments but rather
recognizes that there are functions that must cross all such as technology, communication, public engagement continuous
improvement, and professional development.

�1_kORIGINATED BY: Martha A. Dijkstra, Hunnasources Director
REVIEWED BY:
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manage
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The Environmental Safety Manager position, currently allocated and budgeted in the Fire
Department, has been vacant since November 13, 2014 when the long -time incumbent retired from
City service. This classification, while represented by a miscellaneous bargaining unit, has been
designated local fire safety status for purposes of retirement for over twenty (20) years. In
preparation for the recruitment process to fill this vacancy, staff reviewed the position's essential
job functions and determined that designating this classification as local miscellaneous, rather than
local fire safety, is more appropriate. As such, staff engaged in the required meet and confer
discussions with the SPEA and reached agreement to make this change via the attached Side Letter.
Staff is requesting Council approval of the Side Letter as well as revisions to the Class
Specification which are necessary to more accurately reflect the position's current duties and
responsibilities. Additionally, staff is requesting approval of the Examination Plan in order to
initiate the recruitment and selection process. s

ORIGINATED BY: Arianne Bola, Senior Engineer Associate
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Wor s Directo>
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manage
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
For Fiscal Year 2014/15, City Council allocated $500,000 for a large amount of sidewalk, curb
and gutter repairs and replacements. Subsequent bidding results were much lower than
anticipated, and on September 1, 2015, City Council awarded a $229,922.00 standard Public
Works contract to Jose Angel Fierros (dba FS Construction) as the low. City Council also
authorized staff to amend the contract with the remaining $270,078 to address additional high
priority areas throughout El Segundo once staff determined that FS Construction provided high
quality work.
Because the FY 2014/15 Concrete Project was awarded through a competitive low bid process,
this allowed City Council to authorize staff to amend the contract by another $200,000 in lieu of
rebidding for the FY 2015/16 budget year, thus saving valuable time while ensuring that we
continue to receive high quality work at an extremely competitive rate. In all, we were able to
achieve the following:

In preparation for the coming year's sidewalk repair and replacement program, the Streets
Division staff has been actively auditing/surveying the City's 100+ miles of sidewalks. They are
approximately 35% complete, and expect to have a full audit completed this fall.

EL SEGUNDO CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 6, 2016
AGENDA STATEMENT AGENDA HEADING: Consent Agenda
AGENDA DESCRIPTION:
Consideration and possible action regarding a request to allow a Type 47 alcohol license for a
new restaurant with outdoor seating. This request will modify and supersede a previously -
approved administrative use permit for Whole Foods Market at Plaza El Segundo (760 South
Sepulveda Boulevard), in the Commercial Center (C -4) zone. Applicant: Mrs. Gooch's Natural
Foods Markets, Inc.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Receive and file this report without objecting to the issuance of a Type 47 ABC license for
the on -site sale and consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits at a new restaurant; and /or
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1. Crime Statistical Report for 760 South Sepulveda Boulevard.
2. Crime and Arrests Report for January -June, 2016.
3. Police Reporting Districts Map.
4. Planning Commission Staff Report, dated August 11, 2016.
5. Planning Commission Resolution No. 2803 approving Environmental Assessment
No. EA -1147 and Administrative Use Permit No. AUP 16 -03.
FISCAL IMPACT: None
Amount Budgeted: N/A
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): N/A
ORIGINATED BY: Gregg McClain, Planning Manager
REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Planning and Building Safety Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
I. Background
On August 11, 2016, the Planning Commission approved an administrative use permit application
(EA -1147 and AUP 16 -03) for Whole Foods Market, with conditions of approval.
In 1995, the City Council directed staff to bring all future Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control (ABC) licenses to it for review. Based upon previous Council direction, staff is
providing background information regarding this application. 1
67
II. Analysis
The proposed project is a modification to a previously- approved administrative use permit
(AUP) which was approved by the Planning Commission on March 22, 2007. The AUP for the
market permitted three ABC Licenses (Types 21, 41 and 42). The Director of Planning and
Building Safety granted the approval of a Type 86 license for the market on July 6, 2011. The
applicant proposes three ABC Licenses (Types 21, 47 and 86) for the market. Licenses for Types
41 and 42 will be surrendered.
The applicant requests the City Council allow and not protest a modified alcohol license for a
new restaurant with the market, and to allow the expansion of on -site consumption of alcohol to
an existing 869 square -foot outdoor dining area in front of the building. The proposed alcohol
license is for a total of 1,693 square feet of dining area and a combined total of 101 seats. The
applicant will be surrendering a Type 41 ABC license and will be replacing it with a Type 47
ABC License. The applicant will also be surrendering a Type 42 ABC License and has replaced
it with a Type 86 ABC License for "Instructional Tasting." A Type 86 ABC License for
"Instructional Tasting" allows an alcohol manufacturer to do tasting events for the sampling of
beer, wine or distilled spirits.
No changes are proposed to the previous approved hours for the market. The approved hours for
the sale and consumption of alcohol are from 6:00 am to 12:00 am, seven days a week.
According to the most recent Crime and Arrests Report prepared by the Police Department, the
proposed restaurant is located in Reporting District (RD) 318. Based on the January —June 2016
reported data, the district had a total of 56 Part I and II crimes, and 26 felony and misdemeanor
arrests. Part I and II crimes include criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault,
burglary, larceny -theft, motor vehicle theft and arson. Reporting District 318 is considered a high
crime area, however, the most recent incidents reported from January through June, 2016, at 760
South Sepulveda Boulevard were for robbery and petty theft. No alcohol related crime incidents
were reported. Therefore, the Police Department and the Planning and Building Safety
Department do not object to ABC issuing a Type 47 alcohol license for the restaurant.
III. Environmental Review
The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the CEQA pursuant to 14
California Code of Regulations §15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities).
The project is a negligible expansion of the operation of an existing use involving minor interior
tenant improvements and the expansion of alcohol consumption to an existing outdoor dining
area.
IV. Conclusion
Staff recommends that the Council receive and file this report without objection..

MEETING DATE: August 11, 2016
AGENDA HEADING: New Business
Consideration and possible action regarding approval to modify and supersede a previously -
approved Administrative Use Permit (the "Project ") for Whole Foods Market at Plaza El Segundo,
located at 760 S. Sepulveda Boulevard, Space A -6 in the Commercial Center (C -4) Zone.
(Applicant: Mrs. Gooch's Natural Foods Markets, Inc.).
RECOMMENDED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: It is recommended that the Planning
Commission open the public hearing, receive testimony, close the public hearing, consider the
evidence, and then adopt Resolution No. 2803 approving Environmental Assessment No. EA -1147
and Administrative Use Permit No. AUP 16 -03.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1. Draft Planning Commission Resolution No. 2803
A. Conditions of Approval
2. Plans
ORIGINATED BY: Maria Baldenegro, Assistant PlannerJ' 1
REVIEWED BY: Gregg McClain, Planning Manager,
REVIEWED BY: Paul Samaras, Principal Planner{
APPROVED BY: Sam Lee, Director of Planning and Building Safet
I. INTRODUCTION
The proposed project is a modification to a previously- approved Administrative Use
Permit. The applicant requests approval to allow a Type 47 ABC License for the sale and
consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits for a new restaurant with an 824 square -foot
dining area inside the market containing 56 seats, and to allow the expansion of on -site
consumption of alcohol to an existing 869 square -foot outdoor dining area in front of the
building. The applicant will be surrendering a Type 41 ABC license and will be replacing
it with a Type 47 ABC License. The applicant will also be surrendering a Type 42 ABC
License to replace it with a Type 86 ABC License for "Instructional Tasting." A Type 86
ABC License for "Instructional Tasting" allows an alcohol manufacturer to do tasting
events for the sampling of beer, wine or distilled spirits. A new 696 square -foot outdoor
dining area with 48 seats was recently added in front of the building, and no alcohol
consumption is proposed for this new outdoor dining area.
No changes are proposed to the previous approved AUP hours for the market. The proposed
alcohol sales for the new restaurant and existing outdoor dining area will be the same as
72
those of the market. The proposed hours for "Instructional Tasting" will be the same as the
previous approved hours for "Wine Tasting."
II. BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Back ground
An AUP was previously- approved for the market (Whole Foods Market) in 2007, which
allowed: 1) a Type 21 Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license for the
sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off -site consumption; 2) a Type 41 ABC License
for the sale of beer and wine for on -site consumption in conjunction with a bona fide public
eating place; and 3) a Type 42 ABC License for on -site wine tasting events at a "Wine Bar"
within the market.
The market is 65,024 square feet in size and contains an 869 square -foot outdoor dining
area with 45 seats in front of the building. The combined total interior floor area for dining
is 2,617 square feet with 153 seats. This includes three restaurants and a wine bar with a
combined total floor area of 1,396 square feet with 64 seats for dining that were previously
approved to serve alcohol inside the market.
The previous approved hours of operation for the market, sale of alcohol, and indoor eating
areas are from 6:00 am to 12:00 am, seven days a week. The previous approved hours for
"Wine Tasting" are from 11:00 am to 12:00 am, seven days a week.
The surrounding land uses are summarized in the following table:

Discussion
Alcohol Service /Area modifications
The applicant requests approval to modify an Administrative Use Permit which permitted
three ABC Licenses (Type 21, 41 and 42) for an existing market at a commercial shopping
center. No changes are proposed to the previous approved AUP hours for the market. The
applicant is requesting a Type 47 ABC license to expand on -site consumption of alcohol
(beer, wine and distilled spirits) to an existing 869 square -foot outdoor dining area and a
73
new restaurant with an interior 824 square -foot dining area for a total of 1,693 square feet
of alcohol service area. The existing outdoor dining area contains 45 seats and the new
restaurant will contain 56 indoor seats for a total of 101 seats.
Previously, three restaurants and a wine bar with a combined total floor area of 1,396
square feet and 64 seats were approved to serve alcohol inside the market. The existing
869 - square foot outdoor dining area was not approved to serve alcohol. As proposed, the
total proposed restaurant dining area with alcohol service (beer, wine, and distilled spirits)
will increase by 297 square feet and 37 seats to a total of 1,693 square feet and 101 seats.
Instructional Tasting
The applicant proposes "Instructional Tasting" of alcohol (beer, wine, and distilled spirits)
onsite in conjunction with the operation of the market. An existing Type 42 ABC License
will be surrendered and replaced with a Type 86 ABC License for "Instructional Tasting"
for sampling alcohol. The Director of Planning and Building Safety granted the approval
of a Type 86 ABC License on July 6, 2011 for the market. A Type 86 ABC License for
"Instructional Tasting" allows an alcohol manufacturer to do tasting events for the
sampling of beer, wine or distilled spirits. This AUP will formally approve the Type 86
ABC License for the market which was previously granted by the Director in 2011. The
proposed hours for "Instructional Tasting" will be the same as the previous approved hours
for "Wine Tasting."
Indoor Dining Areas
The existing approved combined total interior dining area is 2,617 square feet with 153
seats. Interior tenant improvements are proposed which will modify the existing dining
areas within the market. New seating areas are proposed for coffee /tea, a juice bar, and a
new third restaurant (described above) with seating near the front of the building. Overall,
interior dining areas and seating will be reduced. Specifically, the combined total proposed
interior dining area is 1,916 square -feet and the number of seats is 137 (a reduction of 701
square feet and 16 seats). A Seafood restaurant, Smokehouse restaurant, and a Wine Bar
area which included alcohol service have all been eliminated.
New Exterior Dining Area
A 696 square -foot outdoor dining area containing 48 seats was recently added in front of
the building. No alcohol consumption is proposed for the new 696 square -foot outdoor
dining area. It is intended to serve as a common/general dining area for customers
purchasing prepared food and /or nonalcoholic drinks at the market

Pursuant to ESMC § 15 -5G -4, subsections (A) and (B), an AUP is required for the proposed
modifications to the alcohol service within the market and the outdoor seating area
(described above). Markets are a permitted use and outdoor dining areas are a permitted
accessory use in the commercial Center (C -4) Zone. The applicant intends to expand the
consumption of alcohol to an existing 869 square -foot of outdoor seating area which
contains 45 seats. In addition to the AUP, any additional indoor or outdoor dining area for
the new restaurant and market must also meet the minimum number of off - street parking
spaces for a restaurant use, which is one space for every 75 square feet.

parking for the proposed modifications to the interior and outdoor seating areas for dining
at Whole Foods Market is 235 parking spaces and 383 parking spaces are provided.
Off -Site Parkin
The approved Plaza El Segundo shopping center is comprised by 17 parcels and is
improved with a total of 1,935 parking spaces. Parking across these 17 parcels is treated
as pool - parking and is shared among all the uses in the shopping center based on the
Development Agreement for the project. The minimum required parking spaces for the
shopping center is 1,529 and 406 excess parking spaces are provided among the 17 Parcels.
General Plan Consistency
The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Commercial Center and is consistent
with the current zoning designation which is Commercial Center (C -4). The project is
consistent with the General Plan Goals, Policies, and Objectives, as specified in the
attached Approval Letter and draft Resolution (Exhibit 1).

Administrative Use Permit
The project is a request to expand alcohol consumption at an existing market, which
requires the approval of an Administrative Use Permit (AUP). Pursuant to El Segundo
Municipal Code § 15 -22 -5, the Director of Planning and Building Safety may grant an
Administrative Use Permit upon making the necessary findings to support the approval of
the project. The Director of Planning and Building Safety has referred the decision to the
Planning Commission. The required findings for approval of an AUP as follows:
1. There is compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship to other
existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use is proposed to be
located.
2. The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the Zone in which
the site is located.
3. The proposed location and use and the conditions under which the use would be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare,
or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
4. Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise, smoke,
dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic, and hazards have been recognized and mitigated.
The facts in support of said findings are outlined in the attached resolution. Staff believes
that there is adequate evidence to support the four required Administrative Use Permit
findings subject to the listed conditions of approval in the attached resolution. The Planning
Commission may consider and impose additional conditions which it deems necessary, if
it demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the condition it desires to impose and
the project's impact.
IV. INTER- DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
The project application and plans were circulated to all City departments. The City
Departments did not have any comments or objections to the proposed project.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations §
15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities). The project is a negligible
expansion of the operation of an existing use involving minor interior tenant improvements
and the expansion of alcohol consumption to an existing outdoor dining area.
FEIR's Limits on restaurant uses
The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the "Plaza El Segundo" and "The
Point" development project, restricted the combined total floor area for restaurant uses to
a maximum of 10% of the total retail uses for the entire project. The existing retail use area
at "Plaza El Segundo" and "The Point" is 423,789 square feet and a total of 26,447 square
feet (or 6 %) is restaurant floor area. The food and drink related uses within the Whole
Foods market are considered part of the restaurant floor area. The proposed changes to the
market's interior dining areas and outdoor dining areas (totaling 3,481 square feet)
increases the restaurant use floor area to 7% of the total retail use area and would not exceed
the 10% cap. Therefore, the proposed project is within the FEIR approved limits for the
development.
VI. RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2803

SOUTH SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD, SPACE A -6.
The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The Commission finds and declares that:
A. On February 4, 2016, Mrs. Gooch's Natural Foods Markets, Inc. filed an
application for Environmental Assessment No. EA -1147 and Administrative
Use Permit No. 16 -03 for a modification to a previously- approved
Administrative Use Permit for Whole Foods Market located at 760 South
Sepulveda Boulevard, Space A -6;
B. 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 El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ");
C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the
California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et
seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of
Regulations § §15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's
Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted March
16, 1993);
D. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review and
scheduled a public hearing regarding the application before this Commission
for August 11, 2016;
E. On August 11, 2016, the Commission held a public hearing to receive public
testimony and other evidence regarding the application including, without
limitation, information provided to the Commission by Mrs. Gooch's Natural
Foods Markets, Inc.; and
F. The Commission considered the information provided by City staff, public
testimony, and Mrs. Gooch's Natural Foods Markets, Inc. This Resolution,
and its findings, are made, in part, based upon the evidence presented to
the Commission at its August 11, 2016 public hearing including, without
limitation, the staff report submitted by the Planning and Building Safety
Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The Commission finds that the following
facts exist:
.H
A. The subject site is located in the Commercial Center (C -4) Zone within a
commercial shopping center (Plaza El Segundo) at 760 South Sepulveda
Boulevard, Space A -6 on Parcel No 6.
B. The subject site is bounded by Hughes Way to the north, Sepulveda
Boulevard to the west, Allied Way to the east, and Park Place to the south.
C. The existing market is 65,024 square feet in size and contains an 869
square -foot outdoor dining area with 45 seats in front of the building. The
combined total interior floor area for dining is 2,617 square feet with 153
seats.
D. The previous AUP approval allowed three restaurants and a wine bar with a
combined total floor area of 1,396 square feet containing 64 seats to include
alcohol service.
E. The market holds: 1) a Type 21 Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control
(ABC) license for the sale of beer, wine, and distilled spirits for off -site
consumption; 2) a Type 41 ABC License for the sale of beer and wine for on-
site consumption; and 3) a Type 42 ABC License for on -site tasting events
for a "Wine Bar" within the market.
F. The applicant requests approval to allow a Type 47 ABC License for the sale
and consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits for a new restaurant with
an 824 square -foot dining area inside the market containing 56 seats, and to
allow the expansion of on -site consumption of alcohol to an existing 869
square -foot outdoor dining area in front of the building. The applicant will be
surrendering a Type 41 ABC license and will be replacing it with a Type 47
ABC License. The proposed interior dining area for the restaurant will contain
56 seats and the existing outdoor dining area contains 45 seats. A combined
total of 1,693 square feet of floor area with 101 seats for dining are proposed
to include alcohol service. The interior restaurant seating area for dining
which includes alcohol service (beer, wine, and distilled spirits) will increase
by 297 square feet and add 37 seats.
G. Interior tenant improvements are proposed which will modify the existing
seating areas for dining within the market. The combined total proposed
interior seating for dining is 1,916 square -feet in area and will contain 137
seats. A new seating area for coffee /tea, a juice bar, and a new third
restaurant with seating near the existing outdoor dining area in front of the
building is proposed. The overall proposed interior seating area for dining
inside the market will be reduced in size by 701 square feet and will contain
16 less seats, as the Seafood restaurant, Smokehouse restaurant, and Wine
Bar area have all been eliminated.
H. The applicant will also be surrendering a Type 42 ABC License to replace it
with a Type 86 ABC License for "Instructional Tasting." The Director of
2 81
Planning and Building Safety granted the approval of a Type 86 ABC License
on July 6, 2011 for the market. A Type 86 ABC License for "Instructional
Tasting" allows an alcohol manufacturer to do tasting events for the sampling
of beer, wine or distilled spirits. This AUP will formally approve the Type 86
ABC License for the market which was previously granted by the Director.
The applicant recently added a 696 square -foot outdoor dining area with 48
seats in front of the building. No alcohol consumption is proposed for this
seating area.
J. No changes are proposed to the previous approved hours of operation. The
proposed hours of operation for the market, indoor and outdoor eating areas,
and sale of alcoholic beverages for on -site and /or off -site consumption are
from 6:00 am to 12:00 am, seven days a week. The proposed hours for
"Instructional Tasting" will be the same as the previous approved hours for
"Wine Tasting" which are from 11:00 am to 12:00 am, seven days a week.
K. The subject site was approved with 383 parking spaces and 235 parking
spaces are required for the proposed project.
L. Additional parking spaces are available and shared among 17 parcels which
comprise the commercial shopping center. A combined total of 1,935 parking
spaces are available for the commercial shopping center. The minimum
required parking spaces for the shopping center is 1,529 and 406 excess
parking spaces are provided.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The adoption of this Resolution is categorically
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption
(Existing Facilities). The project is a negligible expansion of the operation of an existing
use involving minor interior tenant improvements and the expansion of alcohol
consumption to an existing outdoor dining area.
SECTION 4: General Plan and Zoning. The proposed project is consistent with the City's
General Plan and the zoning regulations in the ESMC as follows:
A. The El Segundo General Plan Land Use designation for the site is
Commercial Center and is consistent with the current zoning designation
which is Commercial Center (C -4).
B. The proposed new outdoor dining area is permitted as an accessory use in
the Commercial Center (C -4) Zone.
C. The proposed project meets all the site development standards of ESMC §
15 -5G of the Commercial Center (C -4) Zone.
D. The Commercial Center Land Use permits a mixture of community serving
retail, restaurants and other commercial service uses in an integrated
3 82
shopping center design. This designation is intended to serve a broad cross
section of the City and surrounding area. The proposed use is consistent
with these goals since it expands quality retail in proximity to major
employment centers, it is economically viable, environmentally safe, it
provides a stable tax base and it minimizes any negative impact in the City.
E. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Goal LU4 in that it
provides a stable tax base for the City through development of new
commercial uses, primarily within a mixed -use environment, without
adversely affecting the viability of Downtown.
F. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Objective LU4 -1 in
that it promotes the development of high quality retail facilities in proximity to
major employment centers.
G. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Objective LU4 -4 in
that it adds to the mixture of uses, which has the potential to maximize
economic benefit, reduce traffic impacts, and a encourage pedestrian
environment.
H. The General Plan contains a number of relevant Goals, Objectives, and
Policies in the Economic Development Element. The goal of Objective ED1-
1 is building "support and cooperation among the City of El Segundo and its
businesses and residential communities for the mutual benefits derived from
the maintenance and expansion of El Segundo's economic base." The
proposed outdoor dining area and expansion of alcohol service for an
existing market will benefit the City and increase sales tax revenue for the
City's General Fund.
I. Policies ED1 -2.1 and E131 -2.2, both seek to promote land uses, which
improve the City's retail and commercial tax base. The proposed new
outdoor dining area and expansion of alcohol service for an existing market
at an existing shopping center would contribute in generating an increase in
tax revenue and would financially benefit the City.
J. Implementation of the proposed project will meet relevant goals and policies
with regard to the Land Use Element. The project will help increase the tax
base through the proposed new outdoor dining area and expansion of
alcohol service for an existing market at an existing shopping center at an
existing shopping center without adversely affecting the viability of downtown
(Goal LU4).
SECTION 5: Administrative Use Permit Findings. After considering the above facts, the
Commission finds as follows:
A. There is compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship
to other existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use
is proposed to be located.
4 83
The applicant is requesting approval to modify and supersede a previously -
approved Administrative Use Permit for an existing market which allowed
three ABC Licenses (Type 21, 41, and 42).
The existing market is 65,024 square feet in size and a combined total
interior floor area for dining is 2,617 square feet containing 153 seats. Three
restaurants and a wine bar with a combined total floor area of 1,396 square
feet containing 64 seats for dining were previously approved to serve alcohol
inside the market.
The surrounding land uses include: commercial retail, restaurants, a bank,
light industrial uses and an oil refinery. Other existing retail and restaurant
uses in the general area also sell alcohol for onsite or offsite consumption.
The proposed modifications to an existing market with three interior
restaurants, two outdoor seating areas for dining, and instructional tasting of
alcohol will be compatible with the surrounding uses.
The proposed hours for alcohol consumption at the new restaurant and
existing outdoor dining area will be the same as those of the market. The
existing hours of operation for the market, sale of alcohol, and indoor eating
areas are from 6:00 am to 12:00 am, seven days a week. The proposed
hours for "Instructional Tasting" will also be the same as the previous
approved hours for "Wine Tasting" which are from 11:00 am to 12:00 am,
seven days a week. The proposed hours and modifications to alcohol service
at the market are not anticipated to be detrimental to adjacent businesses,
and no residential uses are located in the vicinity.
The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Commercial Center
and is consistent with the current zoning designation which is Commercial
Center (C -4). The project site is at a commercial shopping center ( "Plaza El
Segundo "). Retail Sales and Restaurants are permitted uses in this Zoning
District in accordance with ESMC § 15 -5G -2. The proposed use
( "Instructional Tasting" at a retail establishment, and the sale of alcohol for
on -site consumption at a new restaurant with outdoor seating for dining),
requires an Administrative Use Permit in accordance with ESMC §§ 15 -5G-
4A and 15- 5G -4B. The market must obtain and maintain the State of
California Beverage Control (ABC) licenses (Type 21, Type 47, and Type
86).
The minimum number of required parking spaces for the proposed uses
within the market and the two outdoor dining areas in front of the building is
238 stalls and 383 parking spaces are provided. Additional parking spaces
are available for the commercial shopping center. The approved Plaza El
Segundo shopping center is comprised by 17 parcels and is improved with
a total of 1,935 parking spaces. The minimum required parking spaces for
the shopping center is 1,529 and 406 excess parking spaces are provided
among the 17 Parcels.
5 84
The proposed project meets all the site development standards of ESMC §
15 -5G -6 of the Commercial Center (C -4) Zone, and Off - Street Parking
Spaces of ESMC § 15 -15 -6.
B. The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the Zone
in which the site is located.
The zoning for the site is Commercial Center (C -4). Retail Sales and
Restaurants are permitted uses in this Zoning District in accordance with
ESMC § 15 -5G -2. The proposed use (sale of alcohol for on -site consumption
at a new restaurant), requires an Administrative Use Permit in accordance
with ESMC §§ 15 -5G -4A and 15- 5G -4B.
The purpose of the Commercial Center (C -4) Zone is intended to provide for
developing commercial establishments serving the City and surrounding
area. The proposed use is consistent with the purpose of the zone in that the
on -site alcohol consumption will be expanded to an existing 869 square -foot
outdoor dining area in front of the building and will include a new 824 square -
foot interior dining area for a new restaurant. The market will contain three
indoor restaurants, a juice bar, a coffee /tea counter with seating for dining,
interior seating for dining adjacent to the front of the building, ancillary
"Instructional Tasting" for sampling alcohol, and two outdoor seating areas
for dining.
The General Plan Land Use designation of the site is Commercial Center.
The proposed use is consistent with the Land Use Element in that the
Commercial Center Land Use Category is intended to permit a mixture of
community- serving retail, restaurants, and other commercial service uses in
an integrated shopping center design to serve a broad cross section of the
City and surrounding area.
The surrounding land uses include: commercial retail, restaurants, a cafe, a
bank, light industrial uses, and an oil refinery. The proposed modifications to
the market will be compatible with the surrounding uses. Other restaurants
in the same district currently have alcohol licenses for the sale and on -site
consumption of beer, wine and distilled spirits at Plaza El Segundo.
Accordingly, given the commercial nature of the surrounding uses, and the
absence of any residential uses located in the vicinity, the proposed location
of the project and conditions under which it would be operated or maintained
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
C. The proposed location and use and the conditions under which the use
would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the
vicinity.
6 85
The proposed project involves the modification to the interior eating areas
that will serve alcohol, occasional "Instructional Tasting" events for sampling
alcohol inside the market, and the expansion of alcohol consumption to an
existing outdoor seating area in front of the building. Other retail and
restaurant uses at the shopping center sell alcohol for onsite and /or offsite
consumption. The proposed modifications to an existing market, including
the outdoor dining, will be compatible with the surrounding uses. The existing
market and other retail and restaurant uses in the surrounding area that sell
alcohol have not been a source of crime or security problems.
No changes are proposed to the previous approved hours of operation. The
proposed hours of operation are from 6:00 am to 12:00 am, seven days a
week for the market, indoor and outdoor eating areas, and sale of alcoholic
beverages for on -site and /or off -site consumption. The "Instructional Tasting"
hours will also remain the same and will be from 11:00 am to 12:00 am,
seven days a week.
D. Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as
noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic, and hazards have been
recognized and mitigated.
The proposed expansion of alcohol consumption to an existing outdoor
dining area, and a new restaurant within an existing market located at a
shopping center will create negligible impacts. Any new impacts will be
consistent with impacts normally associated with the operation of a market.
The proposed "Instructional Tasting" License for the sampling of alcohol will
not create any new impacts, as "Wine Tasting" had been previously -
approved for the market.
The subject site is located in a predominantly commercial and industrial area
and is not adjacent to any residential uses. Therefore, there will be no
potential impacts on residential uses in the City.
The hours of operation for the market, restaurants, instructional tasting, and
on -site consumption of alcohol will remain the same. As a result, patrons will
arrive and leave the subject site at the same time and no additional noise,
traffic or other impacts will be generated. No residential uses are adjacent to
the subject property that would be negatively impacted by the proposed
modifications to the market. In addition, ample parking is being provided on
the subject site. The parcel where the market is situated contains 383 spaces
and a combined total of 1,935 parking spaces are provided for the
commercial shopping center.
In addition to complying with the requirements of the City of El Segundo and
ABC, the modifications to a restaurant within the market are subject to
County Health Department regulations which address and monitor impacts
of fumes and odors.
7 86
SECTION 6: Approval. Subject to the conditions listed on the attached Exhibit "A," which
are incorporated into this Resolution by reference, the Planning Commission approves
Environmental Assessment No. EA -1147 and Administrative Use Permit No. 16 -03.
SECTION 7: This Resolution will remain effective unless superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 8: The Commission Secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to
Mrs. Gooch's Natural Foods Markets, Inc. and to any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 9: 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.
8 87
SECTION 10: Except as provided in Section 9, this Resolution is the Commission's final
decision and will become effective immediately upon adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 11th day of August, 2016.

ORIGINATED BY: Arianne Bola, Senior Associate Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager (
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
California's extreme drought of 2015 brought a new awareness to the importance of conserving
the world's most valuable natural resource — water, and the City of El Segundo is committed to
its continued conservation. One component of our conservation program is to enable City staff
to better record low -flow usage, more quickly identify leaks on the consumer's side of the meter, 12
93
and help users identify problems with their water system more rapidly, all of which will help
reduce the amount of water wasted. By implementing the Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)
program, we will be positioned to better respond to and track water usage for all of our
customers.
The first phase of this AMR project is to install approximately 400 Metron Farnier Smart Water
Meters (a.k.a, automatic meter readers) throughout the City's commercial sector, primarily
located east of Sepulveda and within the Smoky Hollow area. These locations are the City's most
labor intensive areas for manual meter reading due to the large area covered and varied meter
locations. We estimate that the staff time expended on meter reading will be reduced from
approximately 8 days to just a few hours, thereby providing our meter reader more time for
meter maintenance and repairs on the larger water system. Many of the meters planned for this
AMR upgrade are due for replacement, so the timing is good. Over the next several years, staff
will implement two additional phases to complete the City's entire AMR meter conversion.
Funds for this effort were incorporated into the City's latest 5 -year water rate study such that it
can be completed within the remaining 3 -year timeframe.
On August 2, 2016, City Council adopted plans and specifications for the Water Meter
Replacement Project in Commercial Area, approved sole source findings to designate Metron
Farnier Smart Water Meters in bidding specifications for the project, and authorized staff to
advertise the project for receipt of construction bids. On August 23, 2016, the City Clerk
received and opened three (3) bids as follows:
1. Kana Subsurface Engineering $1,031,381.00
2. Ramona, Inc. $1,034,685.00
3. Green Building Corporation $1,523,800.00
The lowest responsible bidder is Kana Subsurface Engineering. Staff verified the contractor's
state license(s), DIR registration status and references. Its State contractor license and DIR
registration are in good standing and Kana Subsurface Engineering has satisfactorily completed
similar projects for the other public agencies.
Staff therefore recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a standard
Public Works Contract, in a form approved by the City Attorney, with Kana Subsurface
Engineering in the amount of $1,031,381.00 and approve an additional $154,707.00 for
construction- related contingencies. Any unspent funds will be returned to Water Enterprise Fund
and Sewer Enterprise Fund.
Staff estimates the following timeline for the project:
September, 2016 Project Award by City Council
October, 2016 Start Construction
May, 2017 Complete Construction
This work was identified and approved in FY 2014/15 and 2015/16 budgets as part of our Capital
Improvement Program and will advance our ultimate goal to replace all of our aging water
infrastructure.

c/o OTO Development. (Fiscal Impact: N /A)
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Receive and file this report for the on -site sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for on-
site consumption at a new hotel at 888 North Sepulveda Blvd.; and /or
2. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item.
ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
1. Crime and Arrest Statistics by Reporting Districts (RD)
2. Crime and Arrest Statistical Report Map for 888 N. Sepulveda
3. Police Reporting Districts Map
4. Administrative Use Permit Approval Letter and Conditions, dated August 4, 2016
5. Planning Commission Staff Report dated August 11, 2016
FISCAL IMPACT: None
Amount Budgeted: N/A
Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): N/A
ORIGINATED BY: Gregg McClain, Planning Manager
REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Planning and Building Safety Direct(
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
I. Background
On August 4, 2016, the Director of Planning and Building Safety approved an Administrative
Use Permit application (EA -1153, AUP 16 -04) for 888 North Sepulveda Blvd., with conditions
of approval, which allows the sale of beer, wine & distilled spirits at the new hotel (Type 47).
The Director's decision was forwarded to the Planning Commission on August 11, 2016, and the
Planning Commission Received and Filed the Director's decision.
In 1995, the City Council directed staff to bring all future Department of ABC licenses to it for
review. Based upon previous Council direction, staff is providing background information
regarding this application. 14
97
II. Analysis
The application for a license, if approved by the Department of ABC, would allow the sale of
beer, wine and spirits from the bar to guests sitting at the bar, dining area, and lobby, as well as
the patio (located on the west side of the hotel adjacent to Sepulveda Boulevard). The patio will
have seating for up to 26 guests. It is also anticipated that guests would take alcoholic beverages
to their guestrooms for consumption. The proposed hours of alcohol service are 5pm to l 1pm,
seven days a week. Food will be served during hours of alcohol service.
According to the most recent Crime and Arrest statistics report prepared by the Police
Department, the proposed restaurant is located in Reporting District (RD) 301. Based on the
January — June 2016 data reported by the Police Department, the district had a total of 9 Part I &
II crimes and 5 felony /misdemeanor arrests. This rate is 30% lower than the City's average. The
Police Department and the Planning and Building Safety Department do not object to the
issuance of the Type 47 ABC License for the new restaurant.
The project site is located in the 888 North Sepulveda Specific Plan. The proposed use (on -site
sale and consumption of beer, wine & spirits at a hotel), required the approval of an
Administrative Use Permit in accordance with Section 4(C)(iii) of the Plan. As noted above, the
permit was approved with conditions, by the Director of Planning and Building Safety and the
Planning Commission.
ABC license review requires mandatory findings that are regulated by ABC. The City's AUP
process is separate. ABC is responsible for running a complete background check on all alcohol
license applicants, as well as conducting site inspections, before issuing any type of alcohol
license.
III. Environmental Review
The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1
categorical exemption (Existing Facilities). The project is a request for an alcohol permit only for
a new, already- approved hotel. The project is not anticipated to have any significant impacts with
regard to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality.
IV. Conclusion
Staff recommends that the Council receive and file this report without objecting to the issuance
of a new Type 47 ABC license for the on -site sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits for on -site
consumption at a new hotel at 888 North Sepulveda Blvd., or alternatively discuss and take
another action related to this item.

RE: Environmental Assessment No. EA -1153 and
Administrative Use Permit AUP No. 16 -04
An Administrative Use Permit request to allow the on -site sale and
consumption of alcohol at a hotel.
Address: 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard
Dear Mr. Haslett:
In accordance with El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") Chapter 15 -22,
the Planning Division has reviewed your application for the above -
referenced project and the Director of Planning and Building Safety
Department has APPROVED Environmental Assessment No. EA-1 153
and Administrative Use Permit No. 16 -04 for the on -site sale consumption
of alcohol at a hotel at 888 North Sepulveda Boulevard. The following are
the findings and facts in support of each finding for this decision:
FINDINGS AND FACTS IN SUPPORT OF FINDINGS:
Environmental Assessment No. EA -1153
Finding 1
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14
California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical
exemption (Existing Facilities).
350 Main Street, El Segundo, California 90245 -3813 102
Phone (310) 524 -2380 FAX (310) 322 -4167
Facts in Support of Finding 1
1. The applicant proposes to serve alcohol within the lobby and bar area of the
Hampton Inn & Suites hotel (currently under construction). The project is a
negligible expansion of the planned -for operation of an approved use involving
alcohol service in certain areas of the hotel. The property is in an urbanized area
where there is adequate access and all public services and facilities are
available. The hotel is part of the 888 North Sepulveda Specific Plan that
allowed the construction of the hotel. The site is in an area that is not
environmentally sensitive. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to have any
significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
Administrative Use Permit 16 -04
Finding 1
f There is compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship to
other existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use is
proposed to be located.
Facts in Support of Finding 1
1. The applicant proposes to provide on -site sale and consumption of alcohol at the
Hampton Inn & Suites lobby area and outdoor patio areas. Alcohol will be served
from the bar and consumed within the lobby area and the outdoor patio space. It
is also anticipated that guests take alcohol to their private rooms.
Bar area: 118 square feet
Dining area: 1,850 square feet
Main lobby: 2,200 square feet.
Patio: 700 square feet.
2. The area is situated in a block that includes office and industrial uses. Alcohol
service will be primarily used by hotel guests. Properties zoned Multi - Family
Residential (R -3) are located within the vicinity, which are over 300 feet away
and on the other side of Sepulveda (to the south west). Having alcohol service
this close to residentially -zoned properties has the potential to impact those
properties. However, the 888 North Sepulveda was approved with the
understanding that a hotel would be constructed on that site, for which alcohol
service is a common accessory use.
3. There are 72 proposed parking spaces for the hotel. Since the restaurant is an
accessory use to the hotel and serve mainly hotel guests, no additional parking
spaces are required for the request.
4. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is 888 North Sepulveda
Specific Plan. The zoning for the site is 888 North Sepulveda Specific Plan. On-
2 103
site sale and consumption of alcohol at hotels is permitted in the Zone with the
approval of an Administrative Use Permit.
5. The 888 North Sepulveda Specific Plan permits and the surrounding land uses
include: hotel, general office, medical office, and industrial.
Finding 2
The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the Zone in
which the site is located.
Facts in Support of Finding 2
1. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is 888 North Sepulveda
Specific Plan.
2. The 888 North Sepulveda Specific Plan identifies two specific goals: Facilitate
Economic Development and Promote Compatible Uses. The proposed use and
its proposed operations are consistent with the goals since it expands quality
retail service facilities in proximity to major employment centers and is
economically viable, environmentally safe that provides a stable tax base and
minimize any negative impact in the City.
3. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Goal LU4 in that it
provides a stable tax base for the City through development of a new commercial
use.
4. The immediate surrounding land uses include office and industrial uses. The
proposed on -site sale and consumption of alcohol in the hotel lobby and patio will
be compatible with the surrounding uses.
Finding 3
• The proposed location and use and the conditions under which the use would be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Facts in Support of Finding 3
1. The on -site sale of alcohol will be located inside the proposed hotel and will be
constructed in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations. The project
proposes minimal structural change to the exterior of the building, and no
changes on the building envelope, parking or landscaping. Sufficient parlang will
be provided on -site in compliance with ESM'C Chapter 15 -15.
2. The surrounding land uses include office and industrial uses. The proposed sale
of beer, wine, and spirits in a hotel is a permitted use within the 888 North
Sepulveda Specific Plan.
3 104
6. Properties zoned Multi - Family Residential (R -3) are located within the vicinity,
which are over 300 feet away and on the other side of Sepulveda (to the south
west). Having alcohol service this close to residentially -zoned properties has the
potential to impact those properties. However, the 888 North Sepulveda was
approved with the understanding that a hotel would be constructed on that site,
for which alcohol service is a common accessory use.
3. The proposed hours of operation to serve alcohol is between 5:00 p.m. to 11:00
p.m. seven days a week. Food and alcohol will be served within the bar area,
main lobby, the outdoor patio. No live entertainment is proposed.
4. A Type 47 Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) License is to be
obtained. The applicant must abide by ABC regulations and license restrictions.
Finn
* Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise,
smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic, and hazards have been recognized
and mitigated.
Facts in Support of Finding 4
The on -site sale and consumption of alcohol will not create any new impacts that
would not be normally associated with the operation of a hotel.
2. The proposed hours of operation and alcohol sales are limited from 5:00 p.m. to
11:00 p.m., seven days a week. The applicant must comply with ESMC §§ 7 -2-
1, et seq. regarding noise and vibration.
3. The approved Hampton Inn & Suites proposes 72 parking spaces. Since the
restaurant and outdoor dining uses are accessory to the operations of the hotel
and serve primarily hotel guests, no additional parking spaces are required.
4. In addition to complying with the requirements of the City of El Segundo and the
State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control the restaurant is
subject to County Health Department regulations that address and monitor
impacts of fumes and odors.
F nding 5
• The State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has issued or will issue a
license to sell alcohol to the applicant.
Facts in Support of Finding 5
4 105
The applicant must obtain a license from the State of California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control for on -site sale and consumption of alcohol for
restaurants (Type 47).

ORIGINATED BY: Gregg McClain, Planning Manager
REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Planning and Building Safety Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager 4
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
I. Background
On July 7, 2016, the Director of Planning and Building Safety approved an Administrative Use
Permit application (EA -1156, AUP 16 -05) for 735 N. Douglas Street, with conditions of
approval, which allows the sale of beer and wine at the proposed new restaurant Ocean Market
Grill No. 2. The Director's decision was forwarded to the Planning Commission on July 14,
2016, and the Planning Commission Received and Filed the Director's decision.
In 1995, the City Council directed staff to bring all future Department of ABC licenses to it for
review. Based upon previous Council direction, staff is providing background information 15
regarding this application.
111
II. Analysis
The application for a license, if approved by the Department of ABC, would allow the sale of
beer and wine for on -site consumption in conjunction with the operations of a 2,310 square -foot
restaurant, which will include a 697 square —foot outdoor dining area. The proposed new
restaurant (Ocean Market Grill No. 2) will contain 726 square feet of indoor dining area. The
total dining area, including the 697 square -foot outdoor patio, will be 1,423 square feet. The
outdoor patio will be approximately 50% of the total eating area. The proposed hours for alcohol
sales will be the same as the hours the restaurant is open, which is from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.,
Monday through Thursday and 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
According to the most recent Crime and Arrest statistics report prepared by the Police
Department, the proposed restaurant is located in Reporting District (RD) 307. Based on the
January — June 2016 data reported by the Police Department, the district had a total of 27 Part I
& II crimes and 4 felony /misdemeanor arrests. This rate is 25% lower than the City's average.
The Police Department and the Planning and Building Safety Department do not object to the
issuance of the Type 41 ABC License for the new restaurant.
The project site is located in the Corporate Campus Specific Plan (CCSP) zone within the
recently completed Elevon Project. Restaurants are permitted uses in the Elevon Project and in
accordance with CCSP § V(A). The proposed use (on -site sale and consumption of beer and
wine at a restaurant), required the approval of an Administrative Use Permit in accordance with
CCSP § V(C)(1). In addition, CCSP § V(D)(3) required a conditional use permit for outdoor
dining when the outdoor dining area exceeds 20% of the total dining area. As noted above, such
permits were approved, with conditions, by the Director of Planning and Building Safety and the
Planning Commission, respectively.
ABC license review requires mandatory findings that are regulated by ABC. The City's AUP
process is separate. ABC is responsible for running a complete background check on all alcohol
license applicants, as well as conducting site inspections, before issuing any type of alcohol
license.
III. Environmental Review
The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1
categorical exemption (Existing Facilities). The project is a request for an alcohol license for a
new restaurant, in an already- approved building. The project is not anticipated to have any
significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality.
IV. Conclusion
Staff recommends that the Council receive and file this report without objecting to the issuance
of a new Type 41 ABC license for the on -site sale of beer and wine for on -site consumption at a
new restaurant at 735 N. Douglas Street, or alternatively discuss and take another action related
to this item.

Project is part of a larger Corporate Campus Specific Plan that allowed the
construction of a commercial office complex including several commercial offices,
retail uses, and restaurants. The project involves negligible expansion of use,
because the restaurant use was previously- approved as part of the approval of the
Elevon Project and is a permitted use under the Corporate Campus Species Plan.
There is adequate access and all public services and facilities are available. The
site is in an area that is not environmentally sensitive. Therefore, the project is not
anticipated to have any significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality,
or water quality.
Administrative Use Permit 16 -06
Finding 'I
There is compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship to
other existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use is
proposed to be located.
Facts in Support of Finding 1
The applicant proposes to provide on -site sale and consumption of beer and wine
inside the restaurant and outdoor dining areas.
2. Alcohol will be served and consumed in the following locations:
a. Indoor Dining 726 square feet
b. Outdoor Dining 697 square feet
3. The area is situated in a commercial office complex that includes offices, retail
uses and restaurants. There are no residential uses in the immediate vicinity.
4. There is sufficient parking as part of the Elevon Project approvals. Since the
restaurant is a permitted use to the Elevon Project no additional parking spaces
are required for the request.
5. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Corporate Campus Specific
Plan. The zoning for the site is Corporate Campus Specific Plan. On -site sale and
consumption of alcohol is permitted in the Zone with the approval of an
Administrative Use Permit.
6. The Corporate Campus Specific Plan permits and the surrounding land uses
include: restaurant, commercial retail, and medical office. Given the commercial
2
118
nature of the surrounding uses, and the absence of any residential uses in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed restaurant, the proposed on -site sale and
consumption of alcohol will be compatible with the surrounding uses.
Finding, 2
The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the Zone in
which the site is located.
Facts in Support of Finding 2
The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Corporate Campus Specific
Plan.
2. The zoning for the site is Corporate Campus Specific Plan. The proposed use of
on -site sale and consumption of alcohol requires an Administrative Use Permit in
accordance with the Corporate Campus Specific Plan.
3. The Corporate Campus Specific Plan identifies two specific goals: Facilitate
Economic Development and Promote Compatible Uses. The proposed use and
its proposed operations are consistent with the goals since it expands quality retail
service facilities in proximity to major employment centers. In addition, the
proposed use is economically viable and environmentally safe, and provides a
stable tax base.
4. The proposed use is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element Goa[ LU4 in
that it provides a stable tax base for the City through development of new
commercial uses, primarily within a mixed -use environment.
5_ The proposed use is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element Objective
LU4 -4 in that it adds to the mixture of uses, which has the potential to maximize
economic benefit, reduce traffic impacts, and encourage pedestrian environment.
6. The proposed use is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element Objective
LU4 -1 in that it promotes the development of high quality retail facilities in proximity
to major employment centers. Therefore, for all of the foregoing reasons, the use
is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the Corporate Campus Specific
Plan.
Finding 3
The proposed location and use and the conditions under which the use would be
operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
119
Facts in Support of Finding 3
1. The on -site consumption of alcohol will be located both inside the proposed
restaurant and in the outside patio area and will be constructed in accordance with
all applicable codes and regulations. The project proposes minimal stfuctural
change to the exterior of the building, and no changes to the building envelope,
parking or landscaping. Sufficient parking will be provided on -site in compliance
with ESMC Chapter 15 -15.
2. The surrounding land uses include commercial retail, restaurant, and office uses.
The proposed sale of alcohol and the restaurant is a permitted use within the
Corporate Campus Specific Plan.
3. The proposed hours of operation to serve alcohol is between 11:00 a.m. to 9:00
p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
Beer and wine will be served within the restaurant and outdoor patio. No live
entertainment is proposed. The use is also subject to certain conditions outlined
in this approval letter.
4. Because the location of the proposed restaurant is wholly surrounded by
commercial uses (and no residential uses) and the proposed on -site sale and
consumption of alcohol will be contained at the restaurant and will not extend into
the late -night hours, the proposed location and use, as conditioned, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Finding 4
Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise,
smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic, and hazards have been recognized
and mitigated.
Facts in Support of Finding 4
The on -site sale and consumption of alcohol will not create any new impacts that
would not be normally associated with the operation of a restaurant.
2. The proposed hours of operation and alcohol sales are limited from 11:00 a.m. to
9:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11:00 a.m. to 10 :00 p.m. Friday through
Sunday. The project site is completely insulated from residentially zoned
properties, being over 1,800 feet away from the nearest, and on the opposite side
of the Northrup Gruman plant. Further, Condition No. 6 of this letter mandates that
operations comply with ESMC §§ 7 -2 -1, et seq. regulating noise and vibration. No
live music, entertainment, or dancing has been proposed.
M
120
3. The Elevon Project provides 735 parking spaces onsite and 100 spaces offsite.
This parking is shared among all parcels within the Elevon Project. The subject
Parcels No. 21 and 22 contain 104 parking spaces. The mix of uses on Parcels
No. 21 and 22 require 100 parking spaces, which is less than the 104 provided.
Therefore, there is adequate parking for the proposed use. In addition, the Elevon
project is a mixed use office and retail project, with office uses within walking
distance of the subject restaurant. Therefore, parking and traffic related impacts
from the proposed use will be minimal.
4. The Conditions of Approval require that any modifications to the project as
approved are subject to review and approval by the Director of Planning and
Building Safety.
5. In addition to complying with the requirements of the City of El Segundo and the
State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control the restaurant is
subject to County Health Department regulations that address and monitor impacts
relating to fumes and odors.
Finding 5
The State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has issued or will issue a
license to sell alcohol (Type 41) to the applicant.
Facts in Support of Finding 5
The applicant must obtain a license from the State of California Department of
Alcoholic Beverage Control for on -site sale and consumption of beer and mine for
restaurants (Type 41).
DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND BUILDING SAFETY DEPARTMENT ACTION
Based on these findings and facts in support of these findings, the Director of Planning
and Building Safety Department APPROVES the proposed project, subject to the
following conditions:

General Plan Consistency
The General Plan Land Use Designation of the Project is Corporate Campus Specific
Plan. The proposed project is consistent with the Goals and Policies of the General Plan
as specified in the attached Approval Letter and Resolution.
Administrative Use Permit
The project includes a request to serve alcohol in conjunction with a new restaurant,
which requires approval an Administrative Use Permit (AUP). The Director of Planning
and Building Safety may grant an Administrative Use Permit upon making the findings in
ESMC §15-22-5. The Director has made the necessary findings to grant the requested
Administrative Use Permit subject to the conditions of approval in the attached approval
letter dated July 7, 2016. Pursuant to ESMC § 15 -22 -6, staff recommend that the
Planning Commission receive and file the Director's determination.
Conditional Use Permit
The project includes a request to have an outdoor patio, which exceeds 20% of the dining
area and requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Pursuant to El Segundo
Municipal Code §15-23-4, the Planning Commission is authorized to grant a conditional
use permit if it makes the three required findings listed in ESMC §15-23-6. The required
findings state that: 1) the proposed location of the conditional use permit is in accord with
the objectives of the Title and the purposes of the zone in which the Property is located;
2) the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would
be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare,
or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and 3) the proposed
conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this Chapter. Facts
in support of said findings are outlined in the attached resolution of approval.
Staff believes that there is adequate evidence to support the three required Conditional
Use Permit findings subject to the listed conditions of approval in the attached resolution.
The Planning Commission may consider and impose additional conditions which it
deems necessary, if it demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the condition it
desires to impose and the project's impact.
IV. INTER - DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
Comments from other departments were incorporated into Resolution No. 2797.
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations §
15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities). The project includes the
approval of permits to allow the sale of alcohol at a new restaurant and for outdoor
129
dining. Minor tenant improvements are proposed for the proposed restaurant and outdoor
dining patio. The project is not anticipated to have any significant impacts with regard to
traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. Moreover, the project is proposed to be built
within an existing approved building and exterior work will be limited to any signs and
the outdoor dining area proposed for the restaurant. The project involves a negligible
expansion of use because the restaurant was previously - approved as part of the approval
of the Elevon Project and is a permitted use under the Corporate Campus Specific Plan.
There are adequate utilities and public services to serve the project.
VI. RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission Receive and File the
Director's determination approving Administrative Use Permit No. AUP 16 -05 and adopt
Resolution No. 2797 approving Environmental Assessment No. EA -1156 and
Conditional Use Permit CUP No. 16 -03.

EA -1156 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CUP NO. 16-03 TO ALLOW A
697 SQUARE -FOOT OUTDOOR DINING AREA IN CONJUNCTION WITH
A RESTAURANT AT 735 NORTH DOUGLAS STREET.
The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The Commission finds and declares that:
A. On May 5, 2016, Efthemios Tsiboukas filed an application for Environmental
Assessment No. EA -1156 and Conditional Use Permit No. 16 -03 to allow the
operation of a new 697 square -foot outdoor dining area for a proposed
restaurant located at 735 North Douglas Street;
B. 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 El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ");
C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the
California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et
seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of
Regulations § §15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's
Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted March
16, 1993);
D. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review and
scheduled a public hearing regarding the application before this Commission
for July 14, 2016;
E. On July 14, 2016, the Commission held a public hearing to receive public
testimony and other evidence regarding the application including, without
limitation, information provided to the Commission by Efthemios Tsiboukas;
and
F. The Commission considered the information provided by City staff, public
testimony, and Efthemios Tsiboukas. This Resolution, and its findings, are
made, in part, based upon the evidence presented to the Commission at its
July 14, 2016 public hearing including, without limitation, the staff report
submitted by the Planning and Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The Commission finds that the following
facts exist:
A. The subject site is located in the Corporate Campus Specific Plan ( "CCSP ") at
735 Douglas Street on Lot No 21. The lot is 38,890 square feet and the
131
restaurant is approximately 2,310 square feet. The restaurant will occupy the
northern portion of existing 7,963 square -foot building.
B. The subject site is bounded on the south by Campus Drive, on the west by
Campus Square West, on the north by Maple Avenue, and on the east by
Douglas Street.
C. The subject site is located within the Elevon Project Lot No. 21 and currently
is developed with a recently completed 7,963 square -foot building, which is
approved for restaurant use. The subject site is part of the much larger
Corporate Campus Specific Plan area, a 46.5 -acre mixed -use commercial
complex.
D. The subject site and the Elevon Project requires 725 parking spaces and the
project provides 735 parking spaces onsite (which includes parking for
restaurant uses) and 100 additional parking spaces offsite. Since the
restaurant and outdoor dining is a permitted use contemplated and approved
under the Elevon Project, no additional parking is required.
E. A Conditional Use Permit is required for outdoor dining areas that exceed
20% of the total dining area of the restaurant, pursuant to CCSP §V (D)(3).
F. The proposed outdoor dining area is approximately 697 square feet.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The adoption of this Resolution is categorically
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant
to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing
Facilities). The adoption of this Resolution approves of a Conditional Use Permit for
outdoor dining. The proposed project is not anticipated to have any significant impacts with
regard to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The project involves a negligible
expansion of use because the restaurant was previously- approved as part of the approval of
the Elevon Project and is a permitted use under the CCSP. The outdoor dining area will be
built on a site of not more than five acres surrounded by urban uses. Further, the site has
no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. There are adequate
utilities and public services to serve the project.
SECTION 4: General Plan Findings. The proposed project conforms to the City's General
Plan as follows:
A. The El Segundo General Plan land use designation for the property is
Corporate Campus Specific Plan. This designation permits a mixture of
office, research and development, retail, restaurants and hotel uses. Outdoor
dining areas in conjunction with a restaurant that exceed 20% of the total
dining area are permitted in the Corporate Campus Specific Plan with
approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
B. The Corporate Campus Specific Plan identifies two specific goals: Facilitate
Economic Development and Promote Compatible Uses. The proposed use is
2 132
consistent with these goals since it expands quality retail service facilities in
proximity to major employment centers, it is economically viable,
environmentally safe, it provides a stable tax base and it minimizes negative
impacts in the City.
C. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Goal LU4 in that it
provides a stable tax base for the City through development of new
commercial uses, primarily within a mixed -use environment, without adversely
affecting the viability of Downtown.
D. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Objective LU4 -1 in
that it promotes the development of high quality retail facilities in proximity to
major employment centers.
E. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Objective LU4 -4 in
that it adds to the mixture of uses, which has the potential to maximize
economic benefit, reduce traffic impacts, and encourage pedestrian
environment.
F. The surrounding land uses include: commercial retail, restaurant, and office
uses. The proposed on -site sale and consumption of alcohol will be
compatible with the surrounding uses.
SECTION 5: Conditional Use Permit Findings. After considering the above facts, the
Commission finds as follows:
A. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of
the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located.
The zoning designation for the subject site is Corporate Campus Specific
Plan. This zone allows outdoor dining areas which exceed 200 square feet or
20% of the indoor dining area, whichever is less, subject to the granting of a
conditional use permit pursuant to CCSP §V.0 and D. The size of the
outdoor dining area is appropriate to its location as it will be part of the
restaurant. The permitted uses in the zone are a mixture of commercial,
office, research and development, retail, restaurant and hotel uses. The
subject building is currently vacant but is approved for a restaurant.
Businesses located within this Specific Plan are encouraged to provide street
level uses which allow for, and facilitate, pedestrian activity for area workers
and visitors. The outdoor dining area in support of the existing restaurant is in
accord with the principal objectives of the zone.
B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under
which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements
in the vicinity.
The proposed location of the conditional use is adjacent to the proposed
3 133
restaurant. The outdoor patio is located on the north and west side of the
restaurant facing the pedestrian corridor of the Elevon Project. No particular
use is adjacent or near the proposed outdoor dining area that could be
impacted by the operation of the outdoor dining area. The area is surrounded
by a mix of commercial offices, a soccer field, and other potential restaurants.
Outdoor dining activities are not anticipated to be detrimental to adjacent
businesses and no residential uses are located in the vicinity. The use is also
subject to certain conditions in the attached Exhibit A. Accordingly, given the
commercial nature of the surrounding uses, and the absence of any
residential uses located in the vicinity, the proposed location of the conditional
use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
C. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of this Chapter.
The proposed conditional use complies with the applicable provisions of
ESMC Chapters 15 -23 and 15 -27 since proper notice was provided and
proper hearing was conducted on July 14, 2016. In addition, proper hearing
decision and records will be complied with, and the required findings will be
considered. The proposed project meets all of the current ESMC and CCSP
requirements.
SECTION 6: Approval. Subject to the conditions listed on the attached Exhibit "A," which
are incorporated into this Resolution by reference, the Planning Commission approves
Environmental Assessment No. EA -1156 and Conditional Use Permit No. 16 -03.
SECTION 7: This Resolution will remain effective unless superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 8: The Commission Secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to
Efthemios Tsiboukas and to any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 9: 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.
4 134
SECTION 10: Except as provided in Section 9, this Resolution is the Commission's final
decision and will become effective immediately upon adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 14th day of July, 2016.

Account Number(s): N/A
ORIGINATED BY: Gregg McClain, Planning Manager 6441
REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Planning and Building Safety Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
I. Background
On August 4, 2016, the Director of Planning and Building Safety approved an Administrative
Use Permit application (EA -1159, CUP No. 16 -04, AUP No. 16 -07) for 747 N. Douglas Street,
with conditions of approval, which allows the sale of beer and wine at the proposed new
restaurant Lisa's Bon App6tit. The Director's decision was forwarded to the Planning
Commission on August 11, 2016, and the Planning Commission Received and Filed the
Director's decision.
16
139
In 1995, the City Council directed staff to bring all future Department of ABC licenses to it for
review. Based upon previous Council direction, staff is providing background information
regarding this application.
II. Analysis
The application for a license, if approved by the Department of ABC, would allow the sale of
beer and wine for on -site consumption in conjunction with the operations of a 2,660 square -foot
restaurant, which will include a 617 square —foot outdoor dining area. The proposed new
restaurant will contain 1,152 square feet of indoor dining area. The proposed hours for alcohol
sales will be the same as the hours the restaurant is open, which is from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.,
Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
According to the most recent Crime and Arrest statistics report prepared by the Police
Department, the proposed restaurant is located in Reporting District (RD) 307. Based on the
January — June 2016 data reported by the Police Department, the district had a total of 27 Part I
& II crimes and 4 felony /misdemenor arrests. This rate is 25% lower than the City's average.
The Police Department and the Planning and Building Safety Department do not object to the
issuance of the Type 41 ABC License for the new restaurant.
The project site is located in the Corporate Campus Specific Plan (CCSP) zone within the
recently completed Elevon Project. Restaurants are permitted uses in the Elevon Project and in
accordance with CCSP § V(A). The proposed use (on -site sale and consumption of beer and
wine at a restaurant), required the approval of an Administrative Use Permit in accordance with
CCSP § V(C)(1). In addition, CCSP § V(D)(3) required a conditional use permit for outdoor
dining when the outdoor dining area exceeds 20% of the total dining area. As noted above, such
permits were approved, with conditions, by the Director of Planning and Building Safety and the
Planning Commission, respectively.
ABC license review requires mandatory findings that are regulated by ABC. The City's AUP
process is separate. ABC is responsible for running a complete background check on all alcohol
license applicants, as well as conducting site inspections, before issuing any type of alcohol
license.
III. Environmental Review
The project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1
categorical exemption (Existing Facilities). The project is a request for an alcohol license for a
new restaurant, in an already- approved building. The project is not anticipated to have any
significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality.
IV. Conclusion
Staff recommends that the Council receive and file this report without objecting to the issuance
of a new Type 41 ABC license for the on -site sale of beer and wine for on -site consumption at a
new restaurant at 747 N. Douglas Street, or alternatively discuss and take another action related
to this item.

Facts in Support of Finding 1
The applicant proposes to serve alcohol within a proposed restaurant located at
747 North Douglas Street. The subject property is developed as a vacant
commercial building that was approved as part of the Elevon Project. The Elevon
Project is part of a larger Corporate Campus Specific Plan that allowed the
construction of a commercial office complex including several commercial offices,
retail . uses, and restaurants. The project involves negligible expansion of use,
because the restaurant use was previously approved as part of the Elevon Project
and is a permitted use under the Corporate Campus Specific Plan. The project
proposes interior improvements, minimal structural change to the exterior of the
building, and no changes to the building envelope, parking or landscaping. There
is adequate access and all public services and facilities are available. The site is
in an area that is not environmentally sensitive. Therefore, the project is not
anticipated to have any significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality,
or water quality.
Administrative Use Permit 16 -07
Finding 1
• There is compatibility of the particular use on the particular site in relationship to
other existing and potential uses within the general area in which the use is
proposed to be located.
Facts in Support of Finding 1
The applicant proposes to provide on -site sale and consumption of beer and wine
inside the restaurant and outdoor dining area.
2. Alcohol will be served and consumed in the following locations:
a. Indoor Dining 1,152 square feet
b. Outdoor Dining 617 square feet
3. The area is situated in a commercial office complex that includes offices, retail
uses and restaurants. There are no residential uses in the immediate vicinity.
4. There is sufficient parking as part of the Elevon Project approvals. The approved
Elevon Project required 725 spaces and provided 735 parking spaces. Easements
and reciprocal parking agreements are maintained throughout the Elevon Site. In
addition, the project has secured and provided 100 additional off -site parking
spaces at the northeast corner of Maple and Campus Square West to be used by
the businesses operators at Elevon.
5. The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Corporate Campus Specific
Plan. The zoning for the site is Corporate Campus Specific Plan. On -site sale and
2
146
consumption of alcohol is permitted in the Zone with the approval of an
Administrative Use Permit.
6. The Corporate Campus Specific Plan permits and the surrounding land uses
include: restaurant, commercial retail, and medical office. Given the commercial
nature of the surrounding uses, and the absence of any residential uses in the
immediate vicinity of the proposed restaurant, the proposed on -site sale and
consumption of alcohol will be compatible with the surrounding uses.
Findingl 2
The proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the Zone in
which the site is located.
Facts in Support of Finding 2
The General Plan Land Use designation for the site is Corporate Campus Specific
Plan.
2. The zoning for the site is Corporate Campus Specific Plan. The proposed use of
on -site sale and consumption of alcohol requires an Administrative Use Permit in
accordance with the Corporate Campus Specific Plan.
3. The Corporate Campus Specific Plan identifies two specific goals: Facilitate
Economic Development and Promote Compatible Uses. The proposed use and
its proposed operations are consistent with the goals since it expands quality retail
service facilities in proximity to major employment centers. In addition, the
proposed use is economically viable and environmentally safe, and provides a
stable tax base.
4. The proposed use is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element Goal LU4 in
that it provides a stable tax base for the City through development of new
commercial uses, primarily within a mixed -use environment.
5. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Objective LU44 in that it
adds to the mixture of uses, which has the potential to maximize economic benefit,
reduce traffic impacts, and encourage pedestrian environment.
6. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Objective LU4 -1 in that it
promotes the development of high quality retail facilities in proximity to major
employment centers. Therefore, for all of the foregoing reasons, the use is
consistent and compatible with the purpose of the Corporate Campus Specific
Plan.

operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or
welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity,
Facts in Support of Finding 3
1. The on -site consumption of alcohol will be located both inside the proposed
restaurant and in the patio and will be constructed in accordance with all applicable
codes and regulations. The project proposes minimal structural change to the
exterior of the building, and no changes to the building envelope, parking or
landscaping. Sufficient parking will be provided on -site in compliance with SSMC
Chapter 15 -15.
2. The surrounding land uses include commercial retail, restaurant, and office uses.
The proposed sale of alcohol and the restaurant is a permitted use within the

Sunday. Beer and wine will be served within the restaurant and outdoor patio. No
live entertainment is proposed. The use is also subject to certain conditions
outlined in this approval letter.
4. Because the location of the proposed restaurant is wholly surrounded by
commercial uses (and no residential uses) and the proposed on -site sale and
consumption of alcohol will be contained at the restaurant and will not extend into
the late -night hours, the proposed location and use, as conditioned, will not be
detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to
properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Finding
• Potential impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise,
smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic, and hazards have been recognized

Discussion
The proposed restaurant, Lisa's Bon Appetit, will be located in the retail portion of the
Elevon project within a recently- completed, vacant building. The Elevon Project consists
of 17 buildings and 22 lots containing a mix of office, retail, and other commercial uses.
The subject building (Building No. 16) is approximately 5,322 square feet and is located
on Lot No. 22. Lot No. 22 is 27,676 square feet in area and is improved with 34parking
spaces. The subject restaurant will be located in the western portion of the building and
will be 2,660 net square feet of interior dining and non - dining /service areas, and 617
square feet of outdoor dining. The outdoor dining area is proposed at the southwest side
of the restaurant facing a pedestrian corridor. The outdoor patio is further defined with
metal cable type fence securing the dining area with primary access from the restaurant
only. An emergency access gate will be installed in the outdoor patio with access to the
pedestrian corridor. Beer and wine service is proposed in the interior dining area, and
outdoor patio areas. The proposed hours for restaurant and alcohol service are 8 a.m.
through 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. through 10 p.m. on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday.
The Applicant plans to apply for a Type 41 (On -sale Beer and Wine — Eating Place)
Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) license. The Type 41 ABC License allows for the
service of beer and wine in conjunction with a bona fide eating place. A condition of
approval is proposed that the applicant obtain an ABC license prior to opening the

which face Douglas Street and will be shared by retail /restaurant patrons. Since the
restaurant and outdoor dining are permitted uses contemplated within the Elevon Project,
spaces are provided based on the overall mix of uses. The overall parking requirement for
4 156
all uses at Elevon is 725 spaces, and 735 spaces are provided onsite. 100 more have been
secured offsite. Therefore, the project meets the parking requirement.
Genes -al Play Consistency
The General Plan Land Use Designation of the Project is Corporate Campus Specific
Plan. The proposed project is consistent with the Goals and Policies of the General Plan
as specified in the attached Approval Letter and Resolution.
Administrative Use Permit
The project includes a request to serve alcohol in conjunction with a new restaurant,
which requires approval of an Administrative Use Permit (AUP). The Director of
Planning and Building Safety may grant an Administrative Use Permit upon making the
findings in ESMC §15-22-5. The Director has made the necessary findings to grant the
requested Administrative Use Permit subject to the conditions of approval in the attached
approval letter dated August 4, 2016.
Pursuant to ESMC § 15 -22 -6, staff recommend that the Planning Commission receive
and file the Director's determination. In the alternative, any Planning Commissioner may
request that this item be discussed and a decision on the application be made by the
Planning Commission instead of received and filed.
Conditional Use Permit
The project includes a request to have an outdoor patio, which exceeds 20% of the dining
area and requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit. Pursuant to El Segundo
Municipal Code §15-23-4, the Planning Commission is authorized to grant a conditional
use permit if it makes the three required findings listed in ESMC §15 -23 -6. The required
findings state that: 1) the proposed location of the conditional use permit is in accord with
the objectives of the Title and the purposes of the zone in which the Property is located;
2) the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under which it would
be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare,
or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and 3) the proposed
conditional use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of this Chapter. Facts
in support of said findings are outlined in the attached resolution of approval.
Staff believes that there is adequate evidence to support the three required Conditional
Use Permit findings subject to the listed conditions of approval in the attached resolution.
The Planning Commission may consider and impose additional conditions which it
deems necessary, if it demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the condition it
desires to impose and the project's impact.
TV. INTER - DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS
Project plans were circulated to other City departments, and their comments have been
incorporated into Resolution No. 2800.
5 157
V. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 California Code of Regulations §
15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing Facilities). The project includes the
approval of permits to allow the sale of alcohol at a new restaurant and for outdoor
dining. Minor tenant improvements are proposed for the proposed restaurant and outdoor
dining patio. Moreover, the project is proposed to be built within an existing approved
building and exterior work will be limited to any signs and the outdoor dining area
proposed for the restaurant. The project involves a negligible expansion of use because
the restaurant was previously approved as part of the Elevon Project and is a permitted
use under the Corporate Campus Specific Plan.
VI. RECOMMENDATION
Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission Receive and File the
Director's determination approving Administrative Use Permit No. AUP 16 -07 and adopt
Resolution No. 2800 approving Environmental Assessment No. EA -1159 and
Conditional Use Permit CUP No. 16 -04.

617 SQUARE -FOOT OUTDOOR DINING AREA IN CONJUNCTION WITH
A RESTAURANT AT 747 NORTH DOUGLAS STREET.
The Planning Commission of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The Commission finds and declares that:
A. On June 16, 2016, Susanne Alexander filed an application for Environmental
Assessment No. EA -1159 and Conditional Use Permit No. 16 -04 to allow the
operation of a new 617 square -foot outdoor dining area for a proposed
restaurant located at 747 North Douglas Street;
B. 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 El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ");
C. In addition, the City reviewed the project's environmental impacts under the
California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et
seq., "CEQA "), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of
Regulations § §15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines "), and the City's
Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No. 3805, adopted March
16, 1993);
D. The Planning and Building Safety Department completed its review and
scheduled a public hearing regarding the application before this Commission
for August 11, 2016;
E. On August 11, 2016, the Commission held a public hearing to receive public
testimony and other evidence regarding the application including, without
limitation, information provided to the Commission by Susanne Alexander;
and
F. The Commission considered the information provided by City staff, public
testimony, and Susanne Alexander. This Resolution, and its findings, are
made, in part, based upon the evidence presented to the Commission at its
August 11, 2016 public hearing including, without limitation, the staff report
submitted by the Planning and Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The Commission finds that the following
facts exist:
A. The subject site is located in the Corporate Campus Specific Plan ( "CCSP ") at
747 Douglas Street on Lot No 22. The lot is 27,676 square feet and the
159
restaurant is approximately 2,660 net square feet. The restaurant will occupy
the western portion of existing 5,322 gross square -foot building.
B. The subject site is bounded on the south by Campus Drive, on the west by
Campus Square West, on the north by E Maple Avenue, and on the east by N
Douglas Street.
C. The subject site is located within the Elevon Project Lot No. 22 and currently
is developed with a recently completed 5,322 square -foot building, which is
approved for restaurant use. The subject site is part of the much larger
Corporate Campus Specific Plan area, a 46.5 -acre mixed -use commercial
complex.
D. The retail /restaurant parking at Elevon is provided on Lot Nos. 21 and 22.
Combined, these two Lots provide a total of 104 parking spaces. The other
tenants in these lots require a combined total of 73.75 spaces. The subject
business will require 26.64 spaces, bringing the total number of required
spaces to 99.99. Further, the overall parking requirement for all uses at
Elevon is 725 spaces, and 735 spaces are provided onsite. 100 more have
been secured offsite.
E. A Conditional Use Permit is required for outdoor dining areas that exceed
20% of the total dining area of the restaurant, pursuant to CCSP §V (D)(3).
F. The proposed outdoor dining area is approximately 617 square feet.
SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The adoption of this Resolution is categorically
exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant
to 14 California Code of Regulations § 15301 as a Class 1 categorical exemption (Existing
Facilities). The adoption of this Resolution approves of a Conditional Use Permit for
outdoor dining. The proposed project is not anticipated to have any significant impacts with
regard to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. The project involves a negligible
expansion of use because the restaurant was previously approved as part of the Elevon
Project and is a permitted use under the CCSP. The outdoor dining area will be built on a
site of not more than five acres surrounded by urban uses. Further, the site has no value as
habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species. There are adequate utilities and public
services to serve the project.
SECTION 4: General Plan Findings. The proposed project conforms to the City's General
Plan as follows:
A. The El Segundo General Plan land use designation for the property is
Corporate Campus Specific Plan. This designation permits a mixture of
office, research and development, retail, restaurants and hotel uses. Outdoor
dining areas in conjunction with a restaurant that exceed 20% of the total
dining area are permitted in the Corporate Campus Specific Plan with
approval of a Conditional Use Permit.
2 160
B. The Corporate Campus Specific Plan identifies two specific goals: Facilitate
Economic Development and Promote Compatible Uses. The proposed use is
consistent with these goals since it expands quality retail service facilities in
proximity to major employment centers, it is economically viable,
environmentally safe, it provides a stable tax base and it minimizes negative
impacts in the City.
C. The proposed use is consistent with General Plan Land Use Element Goal
LU4 in that it provides a stable tax base for the City through development of
new commercial uses, primarily within a mixed -use environment, without
adversely affecting the viability of Downtown.
D. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Objective LU4 -1 in
that it promotes the development of high quality retail facilities in proximity to
major employment centers.
E. The proposed use is consistent with Land Use Element Objective LU4 -4 in
that it adds to the mixture of uses, which has the potential to maximize
economic benefit, reduce traffic impacts, and encourage pedestrian
environment.
F. The surrounding land uses include: commercial retail, restaurant, and office
uses. The proposed on -site sale and consumption of alcohol will be
compatible with the surrounding uses.
SECTION 5: Conditional Use Permit Findings. After considering the above facts, the
Commission finds as follows:
A. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives of
the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located.
The zoning designation for the subject site is Corporate Campus Specific
Plan. This zone allows outdoor dining areas which exceed 200 square feet or
20% of the indoor dining area, whichever is less, subject to the granting of a
conditional use permit pursuant to CCSP §V.0 and D. The size of the
outdoor dining area is appropriate to its location as it will be part of the
restaurant. The permitted uses in the zone are a mixture of commercial,
office, research and development, retail, restaurant and hotel uses. The
subject building is currently vacant but is approved for a restaurant.
Businesses located within this Specific Plan are encouraged to provide street
level uses which allow for, and facilitate, pedestrian activity for area workers
and visitors. The outdoor dining area in support of the existing restaurant is in
accord with the principal objectives of the zone.
B. That the proposed location of the conditional use and the conditions under
which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements
in the vicinity.
3 161
The proposed location of the conditional use is adjacent to the proposed
restaurant. The outdoor patio is located on the south and west side of the
restaurant facing the pedestrian corridor of the Elevon Project. No particular
use is adjacent or near the proposed outdoor dining area that could be
impacted by the operation of the outdoor dining area. The area is surrounded
by a mix of commercial offices, a soccer field, and other potential restaurants.
Outdoor dining activities are not anticipated to be detrimental to adjacent
businesses and no residential uses are located in the vicinity. The use is also
subject to certain conditions in the attached Exhibit A. Accordingly, given the
commercial nature of the surrounding uses, and the absence of any
residential uses located in the vicinity, the proposed location of the conditional
use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained will
not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially
injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
C. That the proposed conditional use will comply with each of the applicable
provisions of this Chapter.
The proposed conditional use complies with the applicable provisions of
ESMC Chapters 15 -23 and 15 -27 since proper notice was provided and
proper hearing was conducted on August 11, 2016. In addition, proper
hearing decision and records will be complied with, and the required findings
will be considered. The proposed project meets all of the current ESMC and
CCSP requirements.
SECTION 6: Approval. Subject to the conditions listed on the attached Exhibit "A," which
are incorporated into this Resolution by reference, the Planning Commission approves
Environmental Assessment No. EA -1159 and Conditional Use Permit No. 16 -04.
SECTION 7: This Resolution will remain effective unless superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 8: The Commission Secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to
Susanne Alexander and to any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 9: 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.
4 162
SECTION 10: Except as provided in Section 9, this Resolution is the Commission's final
decision and will become effective immediately upon adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 11th day of August, 2016.

REVIEWED BY: Stephanie Katsouleas, Public Wo s irector A
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On May 17, 2016, City Council adopted plans and specifications for the removal and replacement
of the Police Department roof and Fire Station 1 roof and authorized staff to advertise for receipt
of construction bids. Two bids were received by the City Clerk's office on June 14, 2016, and
both were rejected on June 21, 2016 due to the higher than anticipated costs proposed. A summary
of those bids are as follows:
Bidder Polio, epartmcal Roof Fire Department Roof _
Best Contracting Services Inc. $570,275.00 $534,150.00
Chapman Coast Roof Co., Inc. $629,575.00 $388,882.00
167
Staff reached out to the bidding Contractors to better understand the basis for such high bids
received. Using the information gleaned from the contractor's feedback, staff revised the
specifications to eliminate interior protection of the buildings and it was rebid. New bids were
received by the City Clerk's office on July 19, 2016 as follows:
Bidder
Police Department Roof
Fire Department 1coof
Letner Roofing Co.
$533,000.00
$273,000.00
Best Contracting Services Inc.
$523,610.00
$385,125.00
Chapman Coast Roof Co., Inc.
$543,636.00
$415,152.00
ADCO Roofing, Inc.
$646,124.00
$331,828.00
Pueblo Construction, Inc.
$747,075.00
$517,472.00
The lowest bid received in July for Fire Station 1 was significantly lower than the bid received in
June ($115,882 less). However, all of the bids received for the Police Department were still higher
than anticipated. This is mostly due the type of roofing system being proposed, which has
additional insulation, multiple layers, unique tapering to match slope and drain elevations, and a
gravel top. The existing "thicker" roof system is also more expensive to remove. And lastly,
based on the Fire Station 1 quote, which is for a simple roof, it is evident that roof replacement
costs are approximately 38% higher than they were just a few short years ago when the City Hall
and Park Vista roofs were replaced. Please note that staff's approach has been to replace the
existing roofs at both facilities in kind, rather than to recommend reductions or modifications to
the existing compositions (e.g., layers, slopes and insulation). Please also note that staff proposed
using Tremco product materials, which have been successfully used at other city facilities for many
years.
After receiving the second set of bids, staff reached out to another roofing vendor to determine
whether a product other than Tremco, but still comparable in quality, would impact the bid prices.
With the help of US Communities staff contacted and met with the Garland Company, Inc., another
local roofing supplier, for guidance and input. Based on US Communities government, low -bid
pricing, Garland estimated that the City could save up to $70,000.00 on the Police Department
roof replacement project by using its product, purchasing directly, and bidding for the labor install
only. However, no additional savings would likely be achieved for the Fire Station 1 roof.
It is worth noting that the Police Department Roof Project and Fire Station 1 Roof Project were
bid together, as Base Bid A and Base Bid B, in an effort to work with a single contractor to achieve
greater financial savings and staff efficiencies given the substantial similarity of the two projects.
However, the bids results have shown that those goals were not achievable given current market
conditions.
Therefore, staff recommends the following:
1. Award a standard Public Works contract to Letner Roofing Co. for $273,000.00, in a form
approved by the City Attorney, to complete the Fire Station 1 Roof Replacement Project.
2. Authorize an additional contingency of $60,000.00 for unforeseen conditions.
3. Reject all bids for the Police Department Roof Replacement Project.
4. Adopt revised plans and specifications and authorize staff to advertise for the receipt of
construction bids for the Police Department Roof Replacement Project.

REVIEWED BY:
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager"
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On June 23, 2016 the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (Metro) voted, 11 to 2, to place a sales tax increase proposal on the
November, 216 ballot. This tax measure (Measure M) would generate approximately $120
billion over 40 years and has two primary components:
1) Extend the current 1/2 ¢ Measure R sale tax, due to expire in 2039, indefinitely. The tax
could only be ended by a vote of the people following a petition signed by at least 10% of
the Los Angeles County population (more than one million signature would be required
on the petition).
2) Add another 1/2 ¢ sale tax (Measure M) for additional local and regional transportation
projects. There would be no sunset for this additional measure, and a vote to end the tax
would also have to be approved by voters as in #1 above.
On its website, Metro states that the proposed measure would: i
• Build new rail lines and highway improvement projects 1
• Enhance bus and rail service
169
• Fund local street, sidewalk and signal improvements
• Keep fares affordable for seniors, students and the disabled
• Maintain our growing, but aging, transportation system
• Better connect bike and pedestrian paths to transit facilities
The full expenditure plan is available on Metro's website at ������.�nctru.iZe�'thcr hii and a
summary is attached to this staff report.
Although additional funding for roadways, transportation and mobility improvements is
desperately needed, staff recommends that City Council oppose the proposed measure in its
current form, and instead recommend that Metro revise its language to be more equitable to
smaller cities as outlined below.
The Proposed Ballot Language
In 2015, Metro undertook a "bottoms up" approach to better understand the transportation
infrastructure needs of each region in Los Angeles County. The South Bay cities actively
participated in this data gathering process and put forward more than one billion dollars of new
projects that would benefit the region by providing for additional traffic congestion relief, more
alternative transportation infrastructure, highway and freeway improvements, roadway state of
goods repair and local road maintenance. The South Bay also proposed and strongly advocated
for: 1) a 25% local return — Metro ultimately proposed 17 %, and 2) a more equitable local return
distribution formula than just population — Metro declined to make any allocation formula
changes.
Despite the intended bottoms up approach, the proposed ballot language and list of projects
proposed suggests that little of the South Bay cities' suggestions were ultimately considered and
incorporated. El Segundo staff raised a several key issues that are not unique to our city, and we
proposed that the following modifications be made to the ballot language:
1. Revise the Current Location Return Allocation Formula
The current Measure R program and proposed Measure M have an allocation formula
that staff believes is not equitable to smaller cities that have low residential populations
but which provide significant sales tax returns. For example, El Segundo currently
generates nearly $1 million in Measure R sales tax, but only receives approximately
$200,000 in Measure R Local Return annually because the allocation formula is based on
residential population alone. This means that El Segundo is currently subsidizing an
estimated $800,000 annually to the rest of the Los Angeles region. If the ballot measure
passes as written, El Segundo will contribute an estimated $2 million of Measure R and
M local return funds to the region in perpetuity, while only receiving $400,000 return
(increasing over time based on CPI). As a comparison, the City of Los Angeles already
receives approximately $5 million more each year in Local Return than it generates in
sales tax. Under the proposed Measure M, that amount would double to an estimated $10
million. Please note that Proposition A and Proposition C also use the population -only
allocation formula at a disadvantage to El Segundo. These two measures, already passed
by voters, also have no sunset.
For these reasons, El Segundo staff believe that the new measure should strive for a more
equitable formula based on a combination of population, sales tax generation and
road /lane miles within the city (referred to as the 1/3 approach). Although this proposed
170
allocation still will not generate El Segundo as much as it contributes, it is a step toward a
more balanced funding formula. The 1/3 approach would provide El Segundo an
estimated $500,000 annually for roadway repair under Measure M, which is more than
double what the measure proposes in its current form. Please note, however, that Measure
R's (population based) 15% Local Return formula remains the same through 2039. El
Segundo also advocates for a revised Measure R formula if it is extended beyond 2039.
2. Revise the Local Return Rate from 17% to 25%
The proposed Measure M ballot language proposes a local return allocation of 17 %, with
an increase to 20% in 2039; the amount is well below the local return allocation rates
provided in Proposition A (25 %) and Proposition C (20 %). Local return funds are
essentially discretionary funds that cities can use to repair city roadways, subsidize local
transit and use for a broad array of other eligible local transportation projects /programs;
and these dollars are particularly valuable for repairing and reconstructing local roads,
which are typically not eligible for local, state and federal grants. The cost of repairing
local roads often exceeds the availability of general fund dollars needed to "keep up"
with this aging infrastructure, and thus local return dollars help offset the general fund
impact and cost. This is especially important as state and federal gas tax subvention funds
are shrinking.
Thus, cities are advocating for a larger return rate, ranging from 20% to 25 %. El
Segundo would ideally like to see 25% of Measure M funds returned to cities for state of
goods repair. In fact, Measure M language highlights the importance of maintaining
roads, but it neglects to allocate sufficient funding for this goal.
Regional Reaction to the Measure M Proposed Language
On June 30, 2016, the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) voted to oppose
Measure M for the concerns raised above, as well as for the following reasons (this list is not
exhaustive):
• The ballot language is vague, unaccountable, misleading and problematic.
• There is no language that holds Metro accountable to the goals outlined in the measure.
• There is no transparency in how the funding will be allocated within its generally defined
categories (Transit Construction, Transit Operations, Highway Construction, Local
Return and Administration).
• Metro can change the expenditure plan every 10 years without consulting voters or
regional partners.
• Measure M is essentially permanent and the revised Measure R would also be permanent
• Measure M requires local cities to contribute 3% for rail projects, whether it supports
them or not; Metro can "take" local return funds for up to 15 years toward meeting the
3% contribution. The specifics of this item are vague and lack any detail on a city's right
to negotiate use of the local contribution.
• Although the South Bay is a major contributor to sale tax funding, it will not significantly
benefit from nearly any of major projects proposed for decades.
Most of the South Bay's cities are united in their opposition to the proposed Measure M
language and its problematic issues /language. El Segundo staff also agree with the points raised
above.
171
For the many reasons listed above, staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution in
opposition to Measure M as proposed, and instead encourage Metro to 1) revise the measure's
language to achieve a more equitable local return formula and rate, and 2) to clarify the
measure's language such that proper expenditure controls are in place.

RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY'S PROPOSED
TRANSPORTATION BALLOT MEASURE (MEASURE M) TO BE VOTED
ON AT THE NOVEMBER 8, 2016, GENERAL ELECTION
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds as follows:
1. On June 23, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (Metro) voted to place a sales tax increase proposal
(Measure M) on the November 8, 2016 General Election ballot.
2. Measure M would extend the current' /2 cent sales tax (Measure R), due to expire
in 2039, indefinitely, and would add another Y2 cent sales tax for additional local
and regional transportation projects, with no sunset for this additional measure.
3. The current Measure R program and the proposed Measure M program have an
allocation formula that are not equitable to smaller cities such as El Segundo that
have low residential populations but which provide significant sales tax returns. For
example, El Segundo currently generates nearly $1 million in Measure R sales tax,
but only received approximately $200,000 in local return because the allocation
formula is based on residential population alone. This means that, through
Measure R, El Segundo is currently subsidizing an estimated $800,000 annually
to the rest of the Los Angeles region.
4. If Measure M passes as written, El Segundo will contribute an estimated $2 million
of Measures R and M local return funds to the region in perpetuity, while only
receiving $400,000 return (with increases over time based on CPI).
5. In addition, Measure M proposes a local return allocation of 17 %, with an increase
to 20% in 2039, which is lower than the local return allocation of other similar
propositions, such as Proposition A (25 %). Local return funding is imperative for
repairing and reconstructing local roads, and El Segundo believes that its residents
deserve a higher percentage of local return allocation from Measure M.
6. While the City supports Metro's goal of completing more transportation projects in
the Los Angeles region, El Segundo should be treated equitably and the allocation
formulas should reflect El Segundo's share of tax revenues for such projects.
SECTION 2: Based on the foregoing reasons, the City of El Segundo opposes Measure
M as currently proposed.
SECTION 3: The City Manager is authorized to communicate the City Council's position
on this matter as necessary and as permitted by law.

SECTION 4: The City Clerk is directed to certify the adoption of this Resolution; record
this Resolution in the book of the City's original resolutions; and make a minute of the
adoption of the Resolution in the City Council's records and minutes of this meeting.
SECTION 5: This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and remain
effective unless superseded by a subsequent resolution.
