INTRODUCTION:
The proposed ordinance amends sections of the El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) Title 15
(Zoning) regarding signs that will: (1) ensure the City does not regulate sign content; (2) update
definitions and terms related to signs; (3) clarify general provisions for signs; (4) modify sign
standards; and (5) streamline the review process for signs.
BACKGROUND:
On June 18, 2015, the United States Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in the case of
Reed v. Town of Gilbert, holding that the Town of Gilbert's sign ordinance violated the First
Amendment because the ordinance applied stricter rules to certain signs based on the sign's
content.
In response to the Reed case, the City Attorney's office and Planning Division staff reviewed the
City's sign regulations and suggested revisions that would not only comply with the Supreme
Court's decision, but would also simplify sign regulations for the business community. The
changes will minimize any perceived inconsistencies with the Court's opinion, thereby reducing
the potential for litigation against the City on the basis of violating the First Amendment of the
Constitution. Also included in the changes are updated definitions regarding signs, reorganized
sections of the sign chapter, clarification on general provisions for signs,modified sign standards,
and streamlined language.
Planning Commission consideration
On July 27, 2017 and August 24, 2017, the Planning Commission held public hearings and
considered the proposed ordinance. At the conclusion of the public hearings, the Planning
Commission voted 5-0 to adopt Resolution No. 2823 recommending approval of the ordinance as
presented.
EDAC,Chamber of Commerce consideration
On September 18, 2017 and September 20, 2017, Planning staff discussed the proposed ordnance
with the El Segundo Chamber of Commerce (Governmental Affairs Committee) and the El
Segundo Economic Development Advisory Council (EDAC). Neither of the stakeholder groups
expressed concerns about the draft ordinance nor did they recommend any changes.
DISCUSSION:
1. New and updated definitions of terms
The proposed ordinance amends the Zoning Code to include new definitions for the terms
"building face," "sign (copy)," "sign (directory)," "sign (electronic message center)," and "store
front." In addition, it updates and clarifies the terms"sign," "sign area," "sign(building marker),"
"sign(changeable copy)," "sign(identification)," "sign(information),""sign(light emitting diode
or LED)," "sign (pole)," "sign (projecting)," "sign (roof)," "sign (window)," and "tenant." The
definition for "political sign" is deleted. These updates and clarifications minimize perceived
inconsistencies with the Supreme Court's decision in Reed, incorporate previous staff
17
interpretations into the Zoning Code, and improve staff's and the public's understanding of these
terms.
2. Minimize inconsistency with the Supreme Court's decision in Reed
The proposed ordinance inserts and clarifies language to ensure the City does not regulate sign
content.
3. Prohibited and exempt signs
The proposed ordinance includes "signs that resemble official traffic lights, signs, or signals or
signs that interfere with the effectiveness of traffic lights, signs, or signals" and"abandoned signs"
as prohibited. In addition, "signs that are consistent with an approved master sign program" and
"signs required by federal, state, or local law" are included as exempt.
4. Clarify and update general sign standards
The proposed ordinance clarifies and updates standards for the following signs: a) store front
signs; b) ground mounted signs; and c) LED signs.
a) The proposed ordinance clarifies store front signs as those placed on the ground/street level of
the primary entryway for a commercial building.
b) The proposed ordinance updates the standards for ground mounted signs by reducing the
required setback from the property line from 5 feet to 3 feet, allows one ground mounted sign
for every 100 linear feet of street frontage, increases the permitted maximum height of
monument signs from 6 feet to 8 feet before an administrative use permit is required, and adds
new provisions for ground directory signs.
c) The current provisions for LED signs are outdated and limit the use of new technology for
illuminated signs. The proposed ordinance reclassifies LED signs as electronic message
centers (EMCs) which provides increased flexibility for illuminated signs. The minimum
transition time for EMCs is decreased from 20 seconds to 7 seconds, EMCs must be equipped
with a default setting to freeze in case of malfunction, and may include the use of animated
graphics or video when viewed primarily by pedestrians and minimally visible from the public
rights of way. The proposed ordinance also allows EMCs for nonresidential uses in the Multi-
Family Residential zone with the approval of an administrative use permit.
5. Update, clarify, and streamline review process for signs
The proposed ordinance reorganizes sections of the chapter so the provisions are easier to
understand. In addition, the following modifications are made to streamline the review process
for signs:
a) The proposed ordinance clarifies the process for master sign programs,which are now only
required for properties that serve three or more tenants. The proposed ordinance reduces
the review time for master sign programs and expedites the review process of building
permits applications for signs previously reviewed and approved in a master sign program;
b) The proposed ordnance clarifies that, if a discretionary application is required for a sign, it
must be approved before a building permits can be issued for a sign;
C) The proposed ordinance authorizes the director to refer new sign types to the planning
commission for classification;
18
d) In an effort to reduce redundancies in the municipal code, provisions for nonconforming
signs and the abatement of signs have been relocated to the corresponding sections of the
code.
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
Consistency with the El Segundo Municipal Code.
Pursuant to ESMC Title 15, Chapter 26 (Amendments), in order to approve the proposed
amendments,the City Council must find that the amendments are necessary to carry out the general
purpose of ESMC Title 15. The purpose of this Title(SSMC §15-1-1)is to serve the public health,
safety, and general welfare and to provide economic and social advantages resulting from an
orderly planned use of land resources. Staff believes that the City Council can make the findings
to approve the proposed amendment. The findings are discussed in the proposed ordinance.
Consistency with the El Segundo General Plan
ESMC Section 15-1-1 (Purpose, Title) states that Title 15 is the primary tool for implementation
of the goals, objectives, and policies of the El Segundo General Plan. Accordingly, the City
Council must find that the proposed Zone Text Amendment is consistent with those goals,
objectives, and policies. Staff believes that the City Council can make the findings in order to
approve the proposed amendment. The findings are discussed in the proposed resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Approval of the proposed ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental
Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§21000, et seq., "CEQA") and the regulations
promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the "State CEQA
Guidelines") because the ordinance consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to existing
zoning regulations and related procedures. It does not have the effect of deleting or substantially
changing any regulatory standards or findings required thereof. The proposed Ordinance is an
action that does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment. In addition,
any environmental impacts associated with this ordinance are adequately addressed in the General
Plan FEIR. Accordingly, this ordinance is consistent with the General Plan FEIR and is exempt
from further environmental review requirements under CEQA. Furthermore, this ordinance
constitutes a component of the El Segundo Municipal Code which the Planning Commission
determined to be consistent with the FEIR for the City of El Segundo General Plan on December
1, 1992. Accordingly,no further environmental review is required pursuant to 14 Cal. Code Regs.
§15168(c)(2).
RECOMMENDATION:
Planning staff recommends that the Council:
1. Introduce an Ordinance (Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 16-02) regarding
amendments to various sections of the Zoning Code;
2. Schedule second reading and adoption of the Ordinance for October 17, 2017;
3. Alternatively, discuss and take other possible action related to this item.

of this chapter. In cases of a denial, the director will specify in writing
Page 15 of 20
34
the sections of this chapter with which the program is inconsistent.
The director's determination may be appealed pursuant to chapter
25 of this title.
5. Modifications: Any new sign locations or the increased size of signs require
an application for an amended master sign program that conforms to all
requirements of this chapter. Minor changes to signs including, but not
limited to, color scheme, material, sign dimensions, location on building
face, at the discretion of the director do not require an amended master sign
program.
B. ADMINSTRATIVE USE PERMITS, ADJUSTMENT, VARIANCES, AND
CONDITIONAL USES
1. Proposed signs that require discretionary review must be approved by the
director before building permits are issued.
2. Signs that require the approval of an administrative use permit will be

not limited to, the number of permitted signs, the size of proposed signs up
to a maximum of 20 percent of the area of the building face, and setbacks,
may be granted upon the approval of an adjustment, pursuant to chapter 24

for a variance and refer the request to the planning commission for review
pursuant to chapter 23 of this title.
4. Except as otherwise provided, all deviations from this chapter must comply
with the variance procedures set forth in chapter 23 of this title. All sign
regulations for land uses requiring conditional use permits are controlled by

unlawful to display signs on public property owned by the city.
15-18-6 NONCONFORMING SIGNS
Nonconforming signs are subject to the provisions contained in chapter 21 of this title
(Nonconforming Buildings and Uses).
Page 17 of 20
36
15-18-7 SUBSTITUTION CLAUSE
Noncommercial copy may be substituted for any commercial copy on any sign that is
allowed by this chapter, whether permitted or exempt. Noncommercial copy of any kind
may be substituted for any other type of noncommercial copy on any sign that is allowed
by this chapter whether by permit or exemption. Message substitution may be made
without additional city approval or permitting. This section prevails over any more specific
provision to the contrary within this chapter. The purpose of this section is to prevent any
inadvertent favoring of commercial speech over any other noncommercial message. This
section does not create a right to increase the total number or size of signs on property,
does not affect the permitting requirements of this chapter, nor overrides terms and
conditions in private contracts.
15-18-8 ENFORCEMENT AND MAINTENANCE
A. SIGN CLASSIFICATION: The director of planning and building safety may classify
signs proposed in accordance with this chapter. Signs that do not clearly fall within
one of the definitions provided by this title must be placed in a classification based
on the sign's design, location, physical characteristic, and purpose. Unless
appealed to the planning commission pursuant to this code, the director's decision
is final. The director may refer any such request to the planning commission for
review.
B. COMPLIANCE WITH CODES: Signs must comply with applicable provisions of
the latest adopted building code, electrical code, and sign code at the time of permit
issuance.
C. PERMANENT MATERIALS: Except for banners, flags, temporary signs, and
window signs conforming with the provisions of this chapter, signs must be
constructed of permanent materials, and must be permanently attached to the
ground, a building, or other structure by direct attachment to a rigid wall, frame, or
structure.
D. MAINTENANCE: Signs permitted pursuant to this chapter must be maintained in
good repair, structural condition, function properly, be free from defects including,
but not limited to, cracking, rusting, and peeling. Signs not so maintained will be
deemed a public nuisance and may be abated pursuant to this code.
E. ABATEMENT OF SIGNS: When the permittee, property owner, or person in
possession of control of the property fails to comply with the director's order
requiring compliance with the chapter, the city may declare the sign as a public
nuisance in accordance with Title 7 of the EI Segundo Municipal Code. Once
designated as a nuisance, the City is authorized to abate the nuisance according
to the provisions of this code.

of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance's effective date. Any such
repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting
violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 10: VALIDITY OF PREVIOUS CODE SECTIONS. If this entire
Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any

RESOLUTION NO. 2823
A RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPT
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE (ESMC)
TITLE 15 (ZONING CODE) REGARDING SIGNS.
(Environmental Assessment No. 1150 and
Zone Text Amendment No. 16-02)
The Planning Commission of the City of EI Segundo does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1: The Planning Commission finds and declares that
A. On June 18, 2015, the United States Supreme Court issued a unanimous
decision in the case of Reed v. Town of Gilbert, holding that various
provisions of the Town of Gilbert's sign ordinance violated the First
Amendment. Some of the offending provisions afforded differing time, place
and manner restrictions to signs based on their individual content. Others
required specific minimum content requirements on certain types of signs;
B. On March 2, 2016, the City initiated the process to amend ESMC Title 15
(Zoning Code) related to sign provisions that could be perceived as being
contrary to the Court's decision. Also included in the amendment are
updated definitions, updated general provisions, and modified sign
standards to streamline the review process for signs;
C. 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 the public hearing regarding the application before the Planning
Commission for July 27, 2017;
E. On July 27, 2017, the Planning Commission reviewed and considered the
proposed code amendments to Title 15 and continued the item to the
August 10, 2017 Planning Commission meeting. The item was
subsequently continued to August 24, 2017;
F. On August 24, 2017, the Planning Commission adopted PC Resolution No.
2823 recommending to the City Council approval of Environmental
Assessment No. EA-1050 and Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 16-02; and,
40
G. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the evidence
presented to the Commission at its July 27 and August 24, 2017, hearings
including, without limitation, the staff reports submitted by the Planning and
Building Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Factual Findings And Conclusions. The Commission finds that
implementing the proposed ordinance would result in the following:
A. Add and clarify the definitions of: building face, sign, sign (abandoned), sign
area, sign (building marker), sign (changeable copy), sign (copy), sign
(directory), sign (electronic message centers), sign (identification), sign
(information), sign (light emitting diode or LED), sign (pole), sign (political),
sign (projecting), sign (roof), sign (window), store front, and tenant;
B. Reorganize sections of the chapter to make it easier to understand;
C. Clarify the review process for signs in order to secure a building permit;
C. Insert and clarify language to ensure the City does not regulate sign content;
D. Prohibit signs that imitate or resemble official traffic lights, signs, or signals
or signs that interfere with the effectiveness of traffic lights, signs, or signals;
E. Prohibit abandoned signs;
F. Exempt signs that are consistent with an approved master sign program;
G. Exempt signs required by federal, state, or local law;
H. Modify the required setback for signs;
i. Modify the requirements for monument, ground, and freestanding pole
signs;
J. Add provisions for ground directory sign;
K. Update provisions for LED signs, reclassifying them as "electronic message
centers (EMC's)";
L. Modify provisions for EMC's to allow the director to approve administrative
use permits for EMC's for nonresidential uses in the Multi-Family (R-3)
zone;
M. Update and streamline process for review of master sign programs;
N. Update and clarify process for discretionary review for signs;
N. Clarify provisions for nonconforming signs;
2
41
O. Clarify provisions for the abatement of signs.
SECTION 3: General Plan Findings. As required under Government Code Section
65860, the ESMC amendments proposed by the Ordinance are consistent with the EI
Segundo General Plan as follows:
A. The proposed ordinance is consistent with Objective LU1-2 and Policy LU1-
2.2 because it will prevent deterioration and blight throughout the City by
maintaining the property at all times in accordance with City of EI Segundo
codes.
B. The proposed ordinance is consistent with Goal LU1-5 and Policy LU1-5.2
in that the amendment recognizes the City as a comprehensive whole and
is creating policies, design standards and documentation that will help
create a sense of place for the entire City. The amendment will modify the
sign ordinance that regulates the quantity, quality, and location of signs.
C. The proposed ordinance is consistent with Policy C1-1.9 of the General
Plan Circulation Element in that it will help provide all residential,
commercial, and industrial areas with efficient and safe access for
emergency vehicles through the implementation of driveway and
intersection clearance requirements.
SECTION 4: Zone Text Amendment Findings. In accordance with ESMC Section 15-26-
4 and based on the findings set forth in Section 2, the proposed zone text amendment is
consistent with and necessary to carry out the general purpose of ESMC Title 15 as
follows:
A. The ordinance is consistent with the purpose of the ESMC, which is to serve
the public health, safety, and general welfare and to provide the economic
and social advantages resulting from an orderly planned use of land
resources.
B. The ordinance is necessary to facilitate the development process and
ensure the orderly placement and maintenance of signs. The intent of the
ordinance is to clarify definitions of terms, clarify and update the
development standards for signs, and streamline the review process for
signs.
SECTION 5: Environmental Assessment. Pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq. ("CEQA"),
and the regulations promulgated thereunder(14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000,
et seq., the "State CEQA Guidelines"), the proposed ordinance is exempt from further
review, because it consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to existing zoning
regulations and related procedures. It does not have the effect of deleting or substantially
3
42
changing any regulatory standards or findings required thereof. The proposed Ordinance
is an action that does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the
environment. Accordingly, no further environmental review is required pursuant to 14
Cal. Code Regs. § 15168(c)(2).
SECTION 6: Recommendation. The Planning Commission recommends that the City
Council adopt the ordinance in a form substantially similar to the draft attached as Exhibit
"A," which is incorporated into this resolution by reference.
SECTION 7: Reliance On Record. Each and every one of the findings and determination
in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and
written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and
determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the Planning
Commission in all respects and
SECTION 8: Limitations. The Planning Commission's analysis and evaluation of the
project is based on information available at the time of the decision. It is inevitable that in
evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the
project will not exist. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate
assumptions.
SECTION 9: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent
resolution.
SECTION 10: The Commission secretary is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to
any person requesting a copy.

APPROVED BY: Mark Hensley, City Attorney
BACKGROUND
At the September 5, 2017, the Council adopted the EIR for the project and approved a revised
Third Amendment to the Due Diligence and Lease Agreement between the City and
CenterCal, LLC ("CenterCal"). Based upon learning that Topgolf had entered into what appeared
to be a more favorable financial deal with the City of Burlingame than what was offered to El
Segundo, the Council appointed Council Members Dugan and Pirsztuk to a subcommittee to
determine if a more favorable financial deal could be achieved. Finally,the potential second read
of the Ordinance amending the City's zoning code and adoption of the Resolution approving of
the General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan, lot line adjustment, and the Conditional Use Permit
for alcohol sales was scheduled for October 3, 2017.
45-2
SUBCOMMITTEE NEGOTIATIONS AND REQUEST BY CENTERCAL FOR A
CONTINUANCE
There were communications between the Council Subcommittee and CenterCal and Topgolf to
determine whether the financial terms of the proposed Lease could be improved. The current
version of the Lease provides for $525,000 in annual rents and payment of 3% of the gross
beverage sales receipts beginning in the third year of the Lease. CenterCal offered to increase the
annual rent by $100,000, if the City would agree to a reduction in the number of hitting bays that
would be available to City programs (golf professionals, youth groups and camps, high school
students, etc.). CenterCal also offered to commence the sharing of gross beverage receipts during
the first year of the Lease.
In response to CenterCal's offer, the subcommittee communicated to CenterCal that it would not
support a deal that resulted in a reduction in the number of hitting bays available for the uses
described above. The Subcommitte requested that CenterCal and Topgolf provide the City with
its last, best and final financial offer so that the Council could consider such at the October 3rd
Council Meeting and potentially take final action on the project. CenterCal and Topgolf responded
with a request to continue the CenterCal/Topgolf agenda item on the October Yd Council Meeting,
so that a meeting could be scheduled with the Subcommittee to further explore the financial deal
points of the Lease.
Council Member Pirsztuk is recommending that the Council grant CenterCal's and Topgolf s
request for an extension as she believes such could be productive. Conversely, Council Member
Dugan believes that CenterCal and Topgolf had sufficient time to formulate an offer and believes
it is time for the Council to make a decision on the project.
LEASE AMENDMENT NO. 3
At the September 5th Council Meeting,the Council did approve the form of the Lease Amendment
including changes that were orally communicated by the City Attorney. CenterCal did deliver an
executed copy of the Amendment today, but it has not been executed by the Mayor and there are
some issues that need to resolved. The Lease agreement actually expired at midnight on Saturday,
September 301h
First, CenterCal and Topgolf requested that the security requirement be taken out of the Lease
Amendment and rather be inserted in the conditions of approval for the conditional use permit for
alcohol sales. The City Attorney is okay with this change but it needs to be approved by the
Council. More importantly, the Lease Amendment required that the form of the agreement
between Chevron and CenterCal whereby Chevron would agree to CenterCal's and Topgolf s
proposed use of the property,be attached as an Exhibit to the Amendment. The purpose of this is
to provide the City with assurances as to the wording of the Chevron/CenterCal agreement. The
draft of this agreement was provided to the City last Friday afternoon.
The City Attorney's Office has a few concerns about some of the language in the agreement which
it needs to discuss with CenterCal and/or Chevron. It is not possible that such can be resolved
before tomorrow night's Council Meeting. Accordingly, the City Attorney's Office drafted some
alternative language (attached) that provides that the Council in its discretion must approve of the
Chevron agreement before the expiration of the due diligence period for the project to move
forward.
45-3
The City Attorney's Office prefers the arrangement of having the final approved language of the
Chevron/CenteCal agreement attached to the Lease Amendment but came up with this solution in
the event the Council wants to extend the due diligence period through December 31, 2017. As
was set forth in the September 5th staff report,the Lease Amendment amended the Lease in several
ways — extends due diligence period, changes and clarifies issues relating to golf professionals,
youth groups' use and other City uses of the driving range,approves of the final golf course design,
and was to provide for the approval of the Chevron/CenterCal agreement.
Again, at this point in time, there is no agreement in effect between the City and CenterCal and
Council needs to decide whether it wants to enter into a Lease Amendment to extend the prior
agreement. This is premised on CenterCal agreeing to the Amendment described above and
attached to this staff report.
WEST BASIN PARKING LICENSE AGREEMENT
City staff and West Basin's staff drafted a Parking License Agreement that provides for 103
parking spaces of the 523 parking spaces provided for the golf course and Topgolf facility. It
was staff's understanding that this Agreement would be provided for the Board's approval prior
to the Council potentially approving the project and the Parking License Agreement. The Board
has deferred taking action on the Parking License Agreement until the Council takes action on the
project.
While there is no guarantee, City and West Basin staff believe the Board will approve of the
Parking License Agreement, if the Council approves the project. In the event that the Council does
approve the project but the Board does not approve of the Agreement, then the conditions of
approval require that CenterCal and Topgolf come up with a valet parking plan approved by staff
to handle the parking needs for the golf course and Topgolf facility.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY COUNCIL
1. Approval or Denial of Amendment No.3 to Due Diligence and Lease Agreement;
2. Approval or Denial of CenterCal's request to continue the decision on the Ordinance and
Resolution described below;

M. This Ordinance and its findings are made based upon the entire
administrative record including, without limitation, testimony and
evidence presented to the City Council at its September 5, 2017
hearing and the staff report submitted by the Planning and Building
Safety Department.
SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. On September 5, 2017, the Council
adopted Resolution No. certifying a Final Environmental Impact Report
(FEIR) and adopting a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for
this Project which, among other things, properly assesses the environmental
impact of this Ordinance, and the Project, in accordance with CEQA. This
Ordinance incorporates by reference the environmental findings and analysis set
forth in Resolution No.
SECTION 3: Findings of Fact and Conclusions. The findings of fact and
conclusions set forth in Resolution No. , adopted by the City Council on
, 2017, are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth.
SECTION 4: Specific Plan. The City Council makes the following findings:
A. Specific Plans create "mini-zoning" regulations for land uses within
particular areas of the City. All future development plans and
entitlements within the Specific Plan boundaries must be consistent
with the standards set forth in the adopted Specific Plan, even when
they may be different from the general regulations within the ESMC.
B. The proposed specific plan is in the public interest, and there will be
a community benefit resulting from the specific plan. The Lakes
Specific Plan provides flexibility for The Lakes golf course to expand
its existing operations or develop new facilities that are compatible
3
45-7
with the existing facilities and uses. The Specific Plan includes a
development concept that accounts for and allows for the Topgolf
facility; includes new land use and zoning categories and identifies
the properties that are effected; includes design guidelines to help
promote high-quality development; and development standards to
address uses, lot area, height, setbacks, floor area, parking,
landscaping and signage. All development in the project area is
subject to the development standards and requirements of the
specific plan. The Lakes Specific Plan is set forth and illustrated in
attached Exhibit "A".
SECTION 5: The City Council amends the current Zoning Map to reflect a change
to the zoning designation of the Project area at 400 South Sepulveda Boulevard
from Open Space (O-S) to The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP), as set forth and
illustrated in attached Exhibit "B", based on the following factual findings:,
A. The proposed Zone Change is necessary to carry out the proposed
project because the proposed General Plan Amendment would
change the land use classification of the project site from Parks, to
The Lakes Specific Plan. The proposed Zone Change is necessary
to maintain consistency with the proposed General Plan land use
designation of The Lakes Specific Plan.
B. The purpose of ESMC Title 15 is to implement the goals, objectives
and policies of the EI Segundo General Plan. The zone change is
consistent with the General Plan goals, objectives and policies
discussed in Section 4 of this resolution.
SECTION 6: Zone TextAmendment Findings. Based on the factual findings of this
Resolution, the proposed Zone Text Amendment is necessary to carry out the
proposed project to establish the proposed The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) Zone.
An amendment to ESMC § 15-3-2(A)(11)to create The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP)
Zone is necessary for consistency with the General Plan.
SECTION 7: EI Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) §15-3-2(A)(11) is added to read
as follows:
"11. The Lakes Specific Plan: There is one zone intended to be used
within the boundaries of The Lakes Specific Plan. The zone is:
TLSP --The Lakes Specific Plan"
SECTION 8. Specific Plan Findings. Creation of The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP)
is desirable to implement the Project. Without amending the ESMC, the current
zoning would not permit commercial entertainment and recreational development.
An amendment to ESMC § 15-3-2(A) to create The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) is
4
45-8
necessary for consistency with the General Plan.
SECTION 9: Actions. The City Council takes the following actions:
A. The City's General Plan Land Use Element and Land Use Map are
amended as set forth in the attached Exhibits A thru D.
B. ESMC § 15-3-2(A)(11) is added to read as follows:
11. The Lakes Specific Plan: There is one zone intended
to be used within the boundaries of the EI Segundo South Campus
Specific Plan. The zone is:
TLSP -- The Lakes Specific Plan"
C. The City's Zoning Map is amended by changing the Project site from
"Light Industrial" to "EI Segundo South Campus Specific Plan." The
corresponding changes to the Zoning Map are set forth in attached
Exhibit "A".
D. The Lakes Specific Plan is adopted as set forth in attached Exhibit
"F," which is incorporated into this Ordinance by reference.
E. To the extent they are not otherwise adopted or approved by this
Ordinance, the City Council approves General Plan Amendment No.
16-01, Zone Change No. ZC 16-01, Specific Plan No. SP 16-02,
Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 16-04.
SECTION 10: Technical Corrections. The City Manager, or designee, is
authorized to make technical corrections, in a form approved by the City Attorney,
to maps, diagrams, tables, and other, similar, documents (collectively, "Maps")that
may be required to reconcile the changes made by this Ordinance with
amendments made to the Zoning Map by other City Council action in unrelated
land use applications.
SECTION 11: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and
determinations in this Ordinance are based on the competent and substantial
evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the
project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and
determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely
supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.
SECTION 12: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the
Project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in
evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of
the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is
5
45-9
the City Council's knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have
been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the
limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and
national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework
within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.
SECTION 13: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the
findings which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the
record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an
indication that a particular finding, is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 14: Effectiveness of SSMC. Repeal or amendment of any provision of
the ESMC will not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before or
preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before
this Ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and
effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective
date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 15: Recordation. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and
adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of EI Segundo's
book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the
records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and
adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with
California law.
SECTION 16: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is
deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that
such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or
applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 17: Effective Date. This Ordinance will go into effect and be in full force
and effect on the thirty-first (31 st) day after its passage and adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this day of 2017.

Under the existing Open Space (O-S) development standards, an additional 912,437 square feet
could be built based on the limitations of 40 percent lot coverage and twenty-six foot high
buildings. This equates to a total FAR of 0.80. With this FAR,the Property is underdeveloped and
could support additional building area and recreational uses.
The City entered into a Lease Agreement with E.S. Centercal, LLC ("Centercal") which has a
Commencement Date of February 3, 2016 to develop a commercial recreation and entertainment
golf facility on the site, as well as build a new Pro Shop and make modifications to the existing
golf course and green areas. The Lease Agreement was contingent on CEQA being completed
and the proposed project being approved by the City Council. In order to complete this
development, CenterCal filed for this Specific Plan in June 2016 along with other applications,
including an Environmental Assessment, a General Plan and General Plan Map Amendment,
Zoning Map Amendment, Zone Text Amendment, Lot Line Adjustment, Site Plan Review and
Conditional Use Permit.
The intent of the Specific Plan is to allow development of the subareas identified by the Specific
Plan. Thus, adoption of this Specific Plan will allow future expansion of uses permitted on the
site with development standards for each subarea that are tailored to the unique recreation and
entertainment uses in the Specific Plan area.
C. DEMOGRAPHICS
According to the 2010 United States Census, as of 2010 El Segundo had a population of 16,654
persons and a total of 7,410 dwelling units. The California Department of Finance reported a
population estimate of 16,646 persons in January 20161. The 2015 Profile of the City of El
Segundo prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments ("SCAG") indicates
that as of 2013 there were 39,554 jobs in the City of El Segundo.
D. ECONOMIC CONTEXT
At its peak before the economic recession of 2007, El Segundo had a daytime population of
approximately 85,000 persons compared to its resident population of approximately 17,000
persons. There was a net loss of jobs in the City between 2007 and 2012 with the number of jobs
beginning to increase in 2013.According to SCAG's 2015 profile the total number of jobs dropped
from 56,559 in 2007 to 38,447 jobs in 2012. In addition to the fiscal benefits of increased sales
tax resulting from additional recreational golf amenities that will attract both local and regional
visitors, there is a potential for approximately 500 additional jobs that could be created by
implementing this Specific Plan,which will help improve the overall economic health of the City
and contribute to the City's ability to provide high quality municipal services to the benefit of the
City's resident and business community.

II. OVERVIEW OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN
A. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY OF SPECIFIC PLAN
The purpose of this Specific Plan is to provide a regulatory framework to govern the land uses and
development within the subject area through the application of regulations, standards and design
guidelines. The Lakes Specific Plan provides text and exhibits which describe the proposed
subareas, land uses and associated guidelines, and development standards.
This Specific Plan is adopted pursuant to Government Code §§ 65450 through 65457.
Pursuant to Government Code § 65451, a Specific Plan must include text and a diagram or
diagrams which specify all of the following in detail:
• The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space
within the area covered by the plan.
• The proposed distribution, location, extent, and intensity of major components of
public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal,
energy and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the land area
covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.
• Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the
conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable.
• A program of implementation measures including regulations, programs, public
works projects and financing measures necessary to carry out the above items.
• A discussion of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the General Plan.
A thorough review of the El Segundo General Plan shows that this Specific Plan is compatible and
consistent with the goals and policies outlined in the General Plan. This Specific Plan will further
the goals and policies of the General Plan as more fully described below.
This Specific Plan was prepared to provide the essential relationship between the policies of the
El Segundo General Plan and the development anticipated in the Specific Plan area.By functioning
as a regulatory document, The Lakes Specific Plan provides a means of implementing the City of
El Segundo's General Plan.All future development plans and entitlements within the Specific Plan
boundaries must be consistent with the standards set forth in this document.
Page 9 SEPTEMBER 5, 2017
45-26
B. SPECIFIC PLAN SCOPE AND GOALS
The City of El Segundo is an employment-led community and accordingly, development has been
led by employment rather than housing growth. The Lakes Specific Plan will serve the mission of
economic development in the City which is to create, maintain, and implement a business climate
that fosters a strong economic community, develop a strategic plan that will result in business
retention and attraction, provide an effective level of City services to all elements of the
community, and maintain the quality of life that has characterized El Segundo for more than nine
decades.
Permitted uses within the Specific Plan area will create job opportunities and provide additional
recreational and entertainment options for the residential and business community alike.
Furthermore,the growth allowed by the Specific Plan will create a synergy with other commercial
and industrial uses in the area by providing additional recreational and entertainment amenities in
the City which will help these businesses to attract and retain employees.The development allowed
under the Specific Plan will provide a basis for a positive contribution to the maintenance and
expansion of El Segundo's economic base as development typically increases the City's business
license taxes, increases the City's utility user taxes, and increases the City's sales taxes. An
increased economic base will provide the City with resources to provide high-quality services to
its residents and daytime population.
C. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The El Segundo General Plan provides the underlying fundamentals of The Lakes Specific Plan,
which serves both as a planning and regulatory document. The Specific Plan is the document
implementing the El Segundo General Plan for the Specific Plan area.
Proposed development plans, lot line adjustment maps,and any other development approvals must
be consistent with the Specific Plan. Projects consistent with this Specific Plan will be
automatically deemed consistent with the General Plan.
The Lakes Specific Plan requires a General Plan Amendment to change the Land Use designation
from Parks, to The Lakes Specific Plan with an accompanying Land Use Map change. With
approval of this amendment,the Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan of the City of El
Segundo, that is, it is compatible with, and will not impede, the General Plan's goals, objectives
and policies. More particularly, The Lakes Specific Plan directly implements or furthers the intent

E. EXISTING LAND USES
The City of El Segundo has distinctive land use patterns,which are divided into four quadrants by
the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and El Segundo Boulevard.Compatibility of an individual
land use is determined mainly by its relationship to other uses within its quadrant. The Lakes
Page 16 SEPTEMBER 5, 2017
45-33
Specific Plan area is located in the southeastern quadrant of the City of El Segundo, which is east
of Sepulveda Boulevard and south of El Segundo Boulevard. The design and implementation of
this Specific Plan relate directly to its position within this larger context.
The southeast quadrant of the City is primarily designated for light industrial which allows a
mixture of industrial and office uses. This quadrant also contains a commercial region which is
home to the retail development of Plaza El Segundo, an approximately 500,000 square foot
lifestyle commercial retail shopping center and the Lakes Municipal Golf Course, which is the
subject site of this Specific Plan. The northeast quadrant of the City lies north across El Segundo
Boulevard and consists primarily of corporate office and urban mixed uses which allow for office
and commercial uses.The southwest quadrant of the City lies directly across Sepulveda Boulevard
and consists primarily of an oil refinery/heavy industrial use. A Multimedia Overlay District
overlies both the southeast and northeast quadrants of the City. Before the adoption of The Lakes
Specific Plan (TLSP)the property was designated as Parks in the General Plan Land Use Element
with Open Space zoning.
Adjacent land uses include the following:
North: The land uses to the north include a small commercial shopping center with
retail and restaurants directly adjacent to the existing golf course and mid- and
high-rise office buildings with multi-story parking structures are located across
El Segundo Boulevard. LAX is located approximately 1.0 mile north of the
Specific Plan area.
East: The adjacent land uses to the east include the Edison transmission lines, the
industrial uses in the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan and the elevated
MTA Green Line. The El Segundo Boulevard Green Line station is located at
the northeast corner of the El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan along El
Segundo Boulevard at Nash Street.
South: The adjacent land uses to the south/southeast include a public storage facility
and the West Basin Municipal Water District Recycling Facility and offices,
The Plaza El Segundo commercial retail shopping center is located south of the
public storage facility. A Federal Express distribution facility and the City of
El Segundo Stormwater retention basin are located further south of the West
Basin Municipal Water District Recycling Facility and offices.
West: Land uses to the west include the Chevron Refinery which is located directly
across Sepulveda Boulevard.
Page 17 SEPTEMBER 5, 2017
45-34
III. LAND USE PLAN
The Lakes 9-hole executive municipal golf course at 400 South Sepulveda Boulevard has been
located on a 26.54 acre site since 1994. The golf course currently extends into a 3.58 acre portion
of the Southern California Edison (SCE)property directly east of the site, which part is subject to
a license agreement between the City of El Segundo and Southern California Edison. The 3.58
acre SCE area is not part of this Specific Plan and has a zoning designation of Open Space (OS)
Zone which allows golf course uses. The existing golf course also has a two-level, 57-bay driving
range,putting green and a 5,330 square-foot Pro Shop with an approximately 750 square-foot patio
used for outdoor dining. The golf course also has a 1,775 square-foot maintenance building at the
northernmost part of the site that will remain. The 5,330 square-foot Pro Shop and a 396 square-
foot storage building would be demolished as part of the development authorized under The Lakes
Specific Plan. The buildings would be replaced with a new smaller 2,500 square-foot Pro Shop
with outdoor patio area. The driving range and putting green will also be demolished and replaced
with a new target green, putting green and chipping green area. The 9-hole golf course would be
redesigned to accommodate the construction of a new, approximately 66,300 gross square-foot
commercial recreation and entertainment facility that would be constructed south of the existing
9-hole golf course. The development project will also involve the expansion of the parking lot
onto a 0.67-acre portion of an abutting property owned by the West Basin Municipal Water
District. The 0.67 acre West Basin Municipal Water District property is not a part of this Specific
Plan. The West Basin property has a zoning designation of Public Facilities (P-F) Zone, which
allows parking lots as an accessory use.
A. DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The Lakes Specific Plan establishes the general type,parameters and character of the development
in order to develop an integrated Project area that is also compatible with and complements the
surrounding area. The proximity of the Specific Plan Area to freeways, major arterials, and the
Metro Rail makes it a regionally accessible and attractive recreation and entertainment facility in
an ideal location to facilitate economic development in El Segundo.
The Lakes Specific Plan provides flexibility to modify and modernize existing uses and to add
new compatible uses that are not currently permitted with standards that are tailored for the unique
uses on the site. The Lakes Specific Plan establishes the following two subareas: Public
Recreation/Open Space subarea; and Commercial Recreation/Open Space subarea.
B. LAND USE PLAN
The Lakes Specific Plan is based upon the following subareas (refer to Exhibit 5,Land Use Plan):
1. Public Recreation/Open Space(PUB-REC/OS) Subarea
The Public Recreation/Open Space (PUB-REC/OS) subarea of The Lakes Specific Plan is
located on the northern parcel fronting onto Sepulveda Boulevard, totaling approximately
16.06 acres. The PUB-REC/OS subarea allows for several public recreation uses. The
specific recreation uses are limited in this land use category as shown in the Specific Plan's
Page 18 SEPTEMBER 5, 2017
45-35
development regulations. The parcel currently contains a 9-hole executive golf course that
will remain a permitted use under The Lakes Specific Plan, as shown in the conceptual site
plan in Exhibit 6, Conceptual Site Plan. Additionally, the Pro Shop and the uses therein
will become permitted uses.
In this subarea, a new 2,500 square foot Pro Shop with 1,010 square feet of outdoor
patio/dining area will be constructed, which will replace an existing 5,330 square foot Pro
Shop and 750 square foot outdoor patio/dining area. The Pro Shop will continue to have
retail sales as well as food and alcohol service.
2. Commercial Public Recreation/Open Space (CPR/OS) Subarea
The Commercial Public Recreation/Open Space (CPR/OS) subarea of The Lakes Specific
Plan is located on the southern parcel fronting on both Sepulveda Boulevard, with a small
"L-shaped"portion of the parcel fronting on Hughes Way. The CPR/OS subarea measures
approximately 10.48 acres in area, and allows a commercial recreation and entertainment
facility, as well as other recreational uses allowed in the Public Recreation/Open Space
subarea. A commercial recreation and entertainment facility is defined as a Private
Commercial Recreation Facility that is open to the public (see ESMC § 15-1-6 for
illustrative examples)that also includes supportive accessory uses as listed in Table VI-1,
Allowable Uses of this Specific Plan. In this subarea, it is anticipated that a commercial
recreation and entertainment facility will be constructed.
3. Conceptual Site Plan
Table III-1, Conceptual Land Use Summary, is a breakdown of the anticipated
development of the site, implementing the uses and standards of this Specific Plan based
upon the lot line adjustment. This summary is for both the Pro Shop on the Public
Recreation/Open Space subarea and the commercial recreation golf and entertainment
facility on the Commercial Public Recreation/Open Space subarea. The Conceptual Site
Plan is shown in Exhibits 6A and 6B.

C. PHASING
Construction of the commercial recreation and entertainment facility and parking lot expansion
and modifications in the CR/OS subarea, as well as the modifications to the 9-hole municipal golf
course and construction of the new Pro shop in the PROS subarea will be done concurrently in
one phase over a period of 10 months to one year.
D. CIRCULATION
Regionally, the Specific Plan site is accessible from the San Diego freeway (405), Century
Freeway (105), the Metro Green Line, and the major arterial Sepulveda Boulevard. The Specific
Plan site has vehicular access points off of both Sepulveda Boulevard and Hughes Way. The
Specific Plan will facilitate on-site circulation and parking. Access will be provided for emergency
vehicles via the two vehicle access points and the parking lot. Development within the Specific
Plan site would be required to provide infrastructure and facilitate access for various modes of
travel including automobiles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Pedestrian and handicap access must be
provided between buildings and to public sidewalks on the two street frontages along the site.
VEHICULAR CIRCULATION
Sepulveda Boulevard. Sepulveda Boulevard is an existing public major arterial street that abuts
the property on its western edge. No additional right-of-way improvements are required as a result
of the development allowed in the Specific Plan. No additional curb cuts besides the one existing
curb cut may be allowed along Sepulveda Boulevard.
I-Iuelies Way. Hughes Way is an existing public secondary arterial street that abuts the property
on its southern edge. No additional curb cuts besides the one existing curb cut may be allowed
along Hughes Way.
NON-VEHICULAR CIRCULATION
Walkways will be provided connecting the various components within the Specific Plan area and
the public sidewalk on Sepulveda Boulevard.
Bicycle parking facilities in the form of a mix of racks and bicycle enclosures in accordance with
Municipal Code and California Green Building Code requirements will be provided in multiple
locations in the Specific Plan area.
E. GRADING CONCEPT
Site grading includes cut and fill to create building pads and to partially redesign the existing 9-
hole municipal golf course. The grading is estimated to result in approximately 5,500 cubic yards
of soil export. Final grading plans will be approved by the City Engineer before the City issues a
grading permit.

Water utility service is provided by the City of El Segundo and is currently available within the
site. Water is purchased through West Basin Municipal Water District which is a member of The
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The site is currently served by an existing fl-
inch ductile iron water pipe that is connected to an existing 10-inch water line under Hughes Way
on the south side and connected to an existing 8-inch water line under Sepulveda Boulevard on the
west side.
Water for fire suppression is provided by on-site building sprinklers and from two off-site fire
hydrants located on Sepulveda Boulevard.
PROPOSED CONDITION
Due to proposed grading for the project some portions of the existing 8" water line may require
reconstruction to maintain proper depth of the pipe. Two new PVC water laterals will connect the
existing 8"ductile iron water line to the proposed commercial recreation and entertainment facility
building and the new Pro Shop building to supply water and fire water.Fire flows for the proposed
building and new Pro Shop building will be based on County of Los Angeles Fire Department
Land Development Unit Standards. A Conceptual Water Utility Plan has been developed for the
Specific Plan area(refer to Exhibit 8, Conceptual Water Plan).

D. _ DRAINAGE
EXISTING CONDITION
The existing storm drains collect the storm water from the site and discharge into the existing
public 48-inch RCP (reinforced concrete pipe) that runs along Sepulveda Boulevard, then along
the south side of the site and turns east under Hughes Way to discharge into an existing City of El
Segundo detention and infiltration basin southeast of the site.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) map #06037C1770F shows this Project site is
located within Zone X, which is described to be an area determined to be outside of the 0.2%
annual chance floodplain. There are no Special Flood Hazards on-site.
PROPOSED CONDITION
A storm drain system is proposed for the new driving range and another system for the new
buildings and parking area. The two systems will confluence at the south side of the proposed
parking area and discharge into a proposed underground detention and infiltration system to be
constructed under the parking lot. The detention system will discharge into the existing 48-inch
RCP storm drain pipe at the south side of the site.
Storm Water Quality
The proposed detention/infiltration system will also function as a treatment system designed to
remove or reduce pollutants of concern from the storm water before discharge from the site. The
collected storm water will be pre-treated to remove trash and larger sediment particulates before
entering the underground infiltration/detention storage system. The storm water quality design
will be consistent with applicable Low Impact Development (LID) standards, which includes
storage and infiltrate into the soil system within 48 hours. Drainage must comply with all
applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation, the City's National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.
A Conceptual Drainage Plan has been developed for the Specific Plan area (refer to Exhibit 11,

V. DESIGN GUIDELINES
These design guidelines are intended as "guidelines" instead of "development regulations."
During the review of any project proposed in this Specific Plan area, the Director of Planning and
Building Safety, the Planning Commission and City Council may use discretion in applying these
design guidelines. It is not anticipated that each guideline will apply equally to every project. One
or more guidelines may have more design significance than another, depending on the nature of
the proposed project. Consequently, strict compliance is not required. The overall objective is to
establish criteria that enhance the coordination, organization, function and identity of the site,
while maintaining a compatible relationship with the surrounding development of The Lakes
Specific Plan.
A. DESIGN OBJECTIVES AND INTENT
Design guidelines for the Lakes Specific Plan will promote and reinforce the City's commitment
to high-quality development. The objectives of these guidelines are to:
Provide for high-quality recreational development within the Specific Plan area.
Promote orderly and predictable development.
• Encourage individual creativity and innovative solutions by allowing flexibility in
how a particular guideline is met as long as the intent of the guideline is achieved.
Ensure functional pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle circulation within the
Project and convenient pedestrian and bicycle linkages to and from adjacent
residential, commercial and industrial areas.
1. Site Planning
a. The arrangement of new buildings, parking and circulation areas should
recognize the particular characteristics of the site and should create a
cohesive identity.
b. Site development should utilize variations on building orientation and
landscaping adjacent to the public streets so that a monolithic "wall" of
building faces is not created.
C. The design and location of accessory buildings (e.g., maintenance and
storage buildings, trash and recycling enclosures, and outdoor mechanical
equipment enclosures) should be incorporated into and be compatible with
the overall design of the Project and the main buildings on the site.
Page 37 SEPTEMBER 5, 2017
45-54
d. Appropriate linkages between internal Project components and buildings
should be incorporated, including pedestrian walkways.
e. Buildings should be arranged to create opportunities for outdoor amenities
(e.g.,plazas, courtyards, outdoor eating areas, etc.) where appropriate.
f. Pedestrian walkways within the project shall be provided with admixture
colored concrete and/or design that enhance and complement the project.
2. Access and Parking
a. A single entry driveway for shared vehicular use must be maintained on
each public street frontage(one on Sepulveda Boulevard and one on Hughes
Way).
b. Entry driveway areas should be clearly marked by identifying features,
(e.g., prominent landscape features and well-designed monument-type
signs).
C. Access to each building should be clearly visible to pedestrians and
motorists through the use of signage, color, and/or design elements.
d. Surface parking lots adjacent to and visible from public streets should
incorporate landscaping to minimize undesirable visual impacts.
e. Surface parking areas should be enhanced and visually broken up through
the use of appropriate trees and landscape improvements.
f. Surface parking areas should include canopy trees spaced appropriately
throughout the parking area to reduce the effects of heat gain.
g. Parking lot design is encouraged to include water quality storm water
facilities consistent with City standards and a Water Quality Management
Plan.
Page 38 SEPTEMBER S, 2017
45-55
3. Architecture/Orientation/Massing
a. The massing, scale and architectural style should consider compatibility
with the surrounding character and existing buildings to reflect a cohesive
project area character.
b. The orientation of the newly constructed buildings should facilitate and
encourage pedestrian activities.
C. The mass and scale of new buildings should be compatible with the existing
and adjacent structures and with each other. This can be accomplished by
transitioning from the height of adjacent buildings to the tallest elements of
the new building, stepping back the upper portions of taller buildings, and
incorporating human scale elements, such as pedestrian scaled doors,
windows, and building materials on the ground floor.
d. Buildings should be divided into distinct massing elements and should be
articulated with architectural elements and details. Changes in height,
horizontal plane, materials, patterns and colors should be used to reduce
building scale and mass.
e. Primary building entries should be easily identified through the use of
prominent architectural elements, signage, landscaping, decorative
hardscape, lighting,canopies,roof form,architectural projections,columns,
vertical and/or horizontal elements, and other design features that help
emphasize a building's entry.
f. Building elevations,whether front, side,or rear,that are visible from public
rights-of-way should be architecturally detailed to incorporate quality
materials and architectural features that reflect the theme of surrounding
structures and facades. Building entrances should be readily identifiable.
The use of recesses, projections, columns, and other design elements to
articulate entrances is encouraged.
g. Facades should be `divided' by vertical and horizontal variations in wall
planes, building projections, door and window bays, and similar elements.
Building articulation should be present on the side and rear walls of the
building, unless it is not visible to the public.
h. The exterior surfaces of buildings for the ground floor must be protected
with anti-graffiti coating where appropriate.
4. Color and Materials
a. Colors and materials should be consistent and complementary throughout
the Project area.
Page 39 SEPTEMBER S, 2017
45-56
b. Exterior materials and architectural details should complement each other
and should be stylistically consistent.
C. Building materials must be durable and resistant to damage, defacing, and
general wear and tear. Acceptable building materials may include concrete,
fiber cement siding, stone masonry, metal, stucco, glass and/or other
contemporary composites.
d. Building materials that support sustainability through the use of
environmentally sound building materials and local resources (e.g., locally
available, contain high recycled-content, are reused, come from renewable
sources, and that contain low volatile organic compound (VOC) levels) is
highly encouraged.
5. Screening and Mechanical Equipment
a. All screening devices must be compatible with the architecture, materials
and colors of the building.
b. Loading docks, bays and parking spaces, delivery service areas, outdoor
storage areas, stand-alone mechanical equipment facilities, should be
located and designed to minimize their visibility, circulation conflicts and
adverse noise impacts. These facilities must be oriented so that they do not
face any public rights-of-way or are screened from view. Sound attenuation
walls must be used where appropriate to reduce noise where required by
code or the Project's environmental analysis.
C. Utility and mechanical equipment must be screened from view of public
streets and nearby buildings on all sides with landscaping and/or
architectural elements.
d. Rooftop mounted equipment visible from the surrounding area, adjacent
buildings, and any public rights-of-way must be screened from public view
and equipment should be painted to match the roof color when equipment
is visible.

permit.
General
a. All areas not covered by buildings, walkways, driveways, parking spaces,
and service areas must be landscaped (with drought tolerant plantings and
sustainable hardscapes in accordance with the City's water conservation
requirements).
b. Landscaping should enhance the quality of the Project by framing and
softening the appearance of buildings, defining site functions, screening
undesirable views and buffering incompatible uses.
C. Landscaping at the perimeter of buildings is encouraged to soften the
transition between building and parking lot. Parking lot landscaping must
be distributed evenly to provide for consistent design and shading.
d. Landscaped areas should generally incorporate a combination of planting
materials utilizing a three tiered system consisting of. 1) trees, 2) shrubs or
vines, 3) groundcover/ornamental grasses. Landscaping should be in scale
with the adjacent buildings and be of appropriate size at maturity.
e. Placement of landscaping should not interfere with the lighting of the
Project area or restrict access to utilities.
f. Landscaping should be utilized to define edges, buffer adjacent properties,
screen parking areas and storage areas.
g. In order to reduce the heat-island effect, space parking lot trees to achieve
shading at ratios required by the development regulations of this Specific
Plan. Trees must adequately shade parking lots and provide sufficient area
for water quality requirements.

concurrently herewith, the City Council certified the EIR, adopted certain Environmental
Findings of Fact, and adopted the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for The
Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project.
SECTION 4: General Plan Amendment Findings. The City Council makes the following
findings:
A. The proposed amendment is in the public interest, and there will be a
community benefit resulting from the amendment. The Lakes Specific Plan
provides flexibility for The Lakes golf course to expand its existing
operations or develop new facilities that are compatible with the existing
facilities and uses. The Specific Plan includes a development concept that
accounts for and allows for the Topgolf facility; includes new land use and
zoning categories and identifies the properties that are effected; includes
design guidelines to help promote high-quality development; and
development standards to address uses, lot area, height, setbacks, floor
area, parking, landscaping and signage. All development in the project area
is subject to the development standards and requirements of the specific
plan.

resulting to the land use categories by The Lakes Specific Plan. The
corresponding changes are set forth in attached Exhibit "C".
D. An amendment to the General Plan Land Use Map to reflect the change in
the land use designation from Parks to The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP).
The corresponding change to the General Plan Land Use Map is set forth
in attached Exhibit "D".
-10-
45-87
SECTION 6: Lot Line Adjustment. The proposed lot line adjustment is indicated on
Exhibit E. Based on the facts set forth in this Resolution and the evidence in the
administrative record as a whole, the City Council finds that the proposed Lot Line
Adjustment is consistent with the evaluation criteria set forth in ESMC § 14-4-4 in that the
lots/parcels will conform to the zoning criteria contained in The Lakes Specific Plan and
the TLSP Zone, as both parcels will exceed the 10-acre minimum lot area. The proposed
lot line adjustment also conforms to all applicable building codes.
SECTION 7: Site Plan Review. The proposed site plan layout includes a new golf-themed
commercial recreation and entertainment facility with a restaurant/bar, a redeveloped
clubhouse, modified holes in the golf course, and golf course lighting, as detailed above
in Section 2.B(vi) of this Resolution. The City Council has considered all of the Site Plan
Review Criteria set forth in the Lakes Specific Plan and, based on the facts recited herein
and on the evidence in the administrative record as a whole, the Council finds the Site
Plan is consistent with and complies with the development standards set forth in The
Lakes Specific Plan.
SECTION 8: Conditional Use Permit. Pursuant to Section 15-23-6 of the EI Segundo
Municipal Code, and based on the factual findings set forth hereinabove and on the whole
of the administrative record, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The proposed location of the conditional use is in accord with the objectives
of this Title and the purposes of the zone in which the site is located, and
the proposed use is consistent and compatible with the purpose of the zone
in which the site is located.
Approval of the associated Zone Text Amendment, Zone Change, General
Plan Amendment and The Lakes Specific Plan have created a zoning
designation and development standards- specific to the subject property.
The zone, via The Lakes Specific Plan, allows onsite beer, wine and alcohol
in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the clubhouse and
Topgolf facilities subject to the granting of a conditional use permit pursuant
to ESMC Section 15-5F-5(I). Onsite beer, wine and alcohol is appropriate
to this location as it will be part of the restaurants and entertainment facility,
and distributed throughout the site. The proposal is consistent with the
purpose of The Lakes Specific Plan, which is to further the goals and
policies of the City's General Plan, which are contained in Section 4 of this
Resolution.
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; 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; and potential
impacts that could be generated by the proposed use, such as noise,
-11-
45-88
smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, traffic and hazards have been
recognized and compensated for
The proposed location of the conditional use is in an urbanized area of the
City that is developed with a golf course, driving range, and clubhouse that
currently offers alcoholic beverages at the restaurant and banquet facilities.
The proposed onsite beer, wine and alcohol will be distributed throughout
the Specific Plan area, in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of
the clubhouse and Topgolf facilities, which will be located primarily indoors
and sufficiently set back from Sepulveda Boulevard. No sensitive land uses
are adjacent to or near the Specific Plan area that could be impacted by the
operation of the onsite beer, wine and alcohol in the restaurants, bar and
entertainment areas of the clubhouse and Topgolf facilities. Further,
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. Lastly, the EI
Segundo Police Department has not identified the subject property as a high
crime area. Accordingly, given the commercial and
industrial/manufacturing nature of the surrounding uses and immediate
area, 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.
Approval of the associated Zone Text Amendment, Zone Change, General
Plan Amendment and The Lakes Specific Plan created development
standards specific to the subject property, with specified uses, lot area, lot
coverage, height, and other restrictions which allow onsite beer, wine and
alcohol in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the clubhouse
and Topgolf facilities. Further, 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 June 8, 2017.
In addition, proper hearing decision and records will be complied with, and
the required findings considered and adopted by the City Council at a future
noticed public hearing. Lastly, appropriate conditions have been included
to minimize impacts.
D. ABC has issued or will issue a license to sell alcohol to the applicant.
The City currently maintains a license from ABC for on-site sale and
consumption of beer and wine (Type 41). The future operator of the golf-
-12-
45-89
themed commercial recreation and entertainment facility will apply for a
separate license with ABC to sell alcohol.
SECTION 9: For the foregoing reasons and based on the information and findings
included in the Staff Report, Resolutions, Minutes and the whole of the administrative
record, the City Council of the City of EI Segundo hereby:
A. Approves Environmental Assessment No. EA-1135, General Plan
Amendment No. 16-01, Site Plan Review No. 16-01, Lot Line Adjustment
No. SUB 16-03, and Conditional Use Permit No. CUP 16-05, subject to the
conditions of approval attached hereto as Exhibit "F" and incorporated
herein by this reference.
SECTION 10: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and
determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence,
both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings
and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City
Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in
the record as a whole.
SECTION 11: Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the project
is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a
project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not
exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council's lack of
knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form
accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the city's ability to
solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must
work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent
in that framework.
SECTION 12: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the
findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record.
The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a
particular finding is not based in part on that fact.
SECTION 13: This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a
subsequent resolution.
SECTION 14: A copy of this Resolution must be mailed to CenterCal Properties,
LLC, and to any other person requesting a copy.
SECTION 15: Effective Date: Environmental Assessment No. EA-1135 will
become effective immediately upon adoption of this Resolution. General Plan
Amendment No 16-01, Site Plan Review No. 16-01, Lot Line Adjustment No. SUB 16-03
and Conditional Use Permit No. CUP-16-05 will become effective on the Effective Date
of Ordinance No.

Exhibit F, Conditions of Approval
Page 12
45-108
C. Pave or apply water every three hours during daily construction activities or
apply non-toxic soil stabilizers on all unpaved access roads, parking areas,
and staging areas. More frequent watering must occur if dust is observed
migrating from the site during site disturbance.
d. Any on-site stockpiles of debris, dirt, or other dusty material must be
enclosed, covered, watered twice daily, or non-toxic soil binders shall be
applied.
e. All grading and excavation operations must be suspended when wind speeds
exceed 25 miles per hour.
f. Disturbed areas must be replaced with ground cover or paved immediately
after construction is completed in the affected area.
g. Track-out devices such as gravel bed track-out aprons (3 inches deep, 25
feet long, 12 feet wide per lane and edged by rock berm or row of stakes) are
required to reduce mud/dirt trackout from unpaved truck exit routes.
Alternatively a wheel washer must be used at truck exit routes.
h. On-site vehicle speed must be limited to 15 miles per hour.
i. All material transported off-site must be either sufficiently watered or securely
covered to prevent excessive amounts of dust before departing the job site.
j. Reroute construction trucks away from congested streets or sensitive
receptor areas.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials:
HAZ-1: Before a Demolition Permit is issued, an environmental professional with
Phase II/site characterization experience must conduct an inspection of
existing onsite structures. The inspection must determine whether or not
testing is required to confirm the presence or absence of hazardous
substances in building materials (e.g., sinks, drains, piping, flooring, walls,
ceiling tiles). Should testing be required and results determine that
hazardous substances are present in onsite building materials, the Phase
II/site characterization specialist must determine appropriate
prevention/remediation measures that are required and/or the methods for
proper disposal of hazardous waste at an approved landfill facility, if required.
Noise:
N-1: Before the City issues the grading permit, the Project Applicant must demonstrate,
to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works that the Project complies with the
following:
• All construction equipment must be equipped with mufflers and sound
control devices (e.g., intake silencers and noise shrouds) no less effective
than those provided on the original equipment and no equipment shall have
an un-muffled exhaust.
• The contractor must maintain and tune-up all construction equipment to
minimize noise emissions.
Resolution No.
Exhibit F, Conditions of Approval
Page 13
45-109
• Stationary equipment must be placed so as to maintain the greatest possible
distance to the sensitive receptors.
• All equipment servicing must be performed so as to maintain the greatest
possible distance to the sensitive receptors.
• Impact tools (e.g., jack hammers, pavement breakers, and rock drills) used
for Project construction are required to be hydraulically or electronically
powered wherever possible to avoid noise associated with compressed air
exhaust from pneumatically powered tools. However, where use of
pneumatic tools is unavoidable, an exhaust muffler must be used; this
muffler can lower noise levels from the exhaust by up to approximately 10
dBA. External jackets on the tools themselves must be used where feasible,
and this could achieve a reduction of 5 dBA. Quieter procedures must be
used, such as drills rather than impact equipment, whenever feasible.
• A qualified "Noise Disturbance Coordinator" will be retained amongst the
construction crew to be responsible for responding to any local complaints
about construction noise. When a complaint is received, the Disturbance
Coordinator shall notify the City within 24 hours of the complaint and
determine the cause of the noise complaint (e.g., starting too early,
malfunctioning muffler, etc.) and implement reasonable measures to resolve
the compliant, as deemed acceptable by the Director of Planning and
Building Safety.
• Select demolition methods to minimize vibration, where possible (e.g.,
sawing masonry into sections rather than demolishing it by pavement
breakers).

played on the golf course during twilight and after sunset hours. All interest
earned on the escrow deposit shall be the property of Lessee. Except for the
$400,000 deposited into the escrow account, in no circumstances shall Lessee
be obligated to Lessor's chosen contractor for the payment of money. The

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The proposed land use entitlement actions identified above are to facilitate redevelopment of The
Lakes golf course, including modifications to the existing golf course, a new club house/proshop,
and a new Topgolf driving range facility to replace the existing driving range. The Top Golf
facility provides a different type of experience with regard to hitting balls at a driving range. The
balls used have a micro-chip embedded in them and the golfers hit the balls at targets and a
computer system tracks where the balls land relative to the targets and includes a score keeping
element. The facility also has full bar and eating facilities, including food and beverage service
for the golfers. There will also be a banquet facility located at the Top Golf establishment.
The associated environmental documents and the project were initially reviewed by the Planning
Commission on June 8,2017 and July 13,2017. At the July 131"hearing,the Planning Commission
adopted resolutions(attached)recommending that the City Council certify the EIR for the project,
and that the City Council approve the associated entitlement applications associated with the
Topgolf project. As such, the project is now before the City Council for consideration. The
detennination as to whether to rezone the property for The Top Golf facility is considered a
legislative act which means it is entirely within the Council discretion to approve the project or
not. Although there is an existing Lease Agreement, the actual Lease will not become effective
unless the land use entitlements are approved and the Lease specifically acknowledges that it does
not commit the Council to approve the proposed land use entitlements.
INTRODUCTION:
The Applicant, CenterCal, requests certification of an environmental impact report, and approval
of a specific plan and related discretionary entitlements to facilitate a redevelopment project at The
Lakes golf course. The project involves three areas totaling approximately 31 acres, which
includes The Lakes golf course, a portion of the abutting Southern California Edison property to
the east, and a portion of the abutting West Basin Municipal Water District property to the south.
The project includes replacing the existing driving range and hitting bays, with a three-story
Topgolf facility within the southern portion of the project site. The project also includes modifying
the fairways and layouts of six holes at the existing 9-hole executive golf course, modifying and
expanding the existing parking to accommodate additional parking in support of the facility on the
West Basin property to the south. Further, the existing hitting bays, clubhouse facility and patio,
as well as the storage building and associated amenities would be demolished and replaced with a
new 2,500 square foot Pro Shop building and a 1,010 square foot outdoor patio. Additionally,
15
45-141
other Project improvements include installing new lighting and screening poles, and replacing
existing net poles and driving range grass with high density fiber turf.
BACKGROUND:
On September 8, 2016, the Planning Commission conducted a public scoping meeting to provide
a forum for agencies and members of the community to comment on the Initial Study and Notice
of Preparation,a precursor to the forthcoming EIR for the proposed project. On January 26,2017,
the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) was completed and circulated for public
review and comment until March 13. Within the circulation period, on February 2nd, a public
commenting session was conducted for the purpose of obtaining comments on the Draft EIR for
The Lakes Specific Plan and Topgolf Project from the general public.
On May 25, 2017, the Final EIR was completed. On June 8, 2017, the Planning Commission
opened the public hearing and took public testimony regarding the proposed Lakes Specific Plan
and other proposed land use entitlements for the Topgolf project. At the applicant's request,
however,the Planning Commission agreed to continue the public hearing. On July 13, 2017,after
taking additional public testimony and deliberation on the project, the Planning Commission
adopted PC Resolution No. 2820 and 2821 (attached) recommending that the City Council certify
the EIR for the project, and that the City Council approve The Lakes Specific Plan and the other
land use entitlements for the Topgolf project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Proposed Specific Plan and Land Uses:
A specific plan is a General Plan option that creates carefully tailored regulations for land uses
within particular areas of the City to meet specific goals and policies of the General Plan. All
future development plans and entitlements within the Specific Plan boundaries must be consistent
with the standards set forth in the adopted Specific Plan, even when they may be different from
the general regulations within the ESMC. The applicant proposes to create The Lakes Specific
Plan and subsequently process the entitlements necessary for the Topgolf project and
redevelopment of the golf course facility.
The Lakes Specific Plan makes relatively minor changes to the uses currently existing within the
specific plan area(most notably specifically allowing for a privately rather than publicly operated
driving range), with development standards addressing the unique recreation and entertainment
uses proposed for the area. The Plan consists of an approximately 26.5-acre area that currently
comprises The Lakes at El Segundo. The approximately 3.6-acre SCE easement and
approximately 0.7-acre WBMWD property are part of the overall Project, however, are not a part
of the proposed specific plan area. The Specific Plan includes a land use plan, description of
existing and proposed utilities and infrastructure, design guidelines, development standards, and
administrative provisions.
A general plan amendment and zone change are proposed for the underlying designations of The
Lakes Specific Plan, whereby the underlying General Plan land use designation would change
from Parks to The Lakes Specific Plan, while the underlying zoning designation would change
from O-S (Open Space), to TLSP (The Lakes Specific Plan). Further, two Subareas, PUB-
16
45-142
REC/OS (Public Recreation/Open Space) and CPR/OS (Commercial Public Recreation/Open
Space), are proposed, as illustrated below in Exhibit 2.

> Commercial-Public Recreation/Open Space(CPR/OS)
The Public-Recreation/Open Space (PUB-REC/OS) subarea encompasses approximately 16.1
acres located on the northern parcel fronting onto Sepulveda Boulevard, which allows for several
public recreation uses. The parcel currently contains a nine-hole executive golf course that would
remain a permitted use under the Specific Plan. Additionally,the club house/pro shop and the uses
therein would be permitted uses. As the site is being re-zoned from Open Space (O-S) to The
Lakes Specific Plan, the uses and development in the PUB-REC/OS Subarea would be governed
by the Specific Plan development standards.
The Commercial Public Recreation/Open Space (CPR/OS) subarea encompasses approximately
10.5 acres on the southern parcel fronting on both Sepulveda Boulevard, with a small L-shaped
portion fronting Hughes Way. The CPR/OS Subarea allows a commercial recreation and
entertainment facility, as well as other recreational uses allowed in the CPR/OS subarea.
17
45-143
To acknowledge the new TLSP zoning designation within the City's Zoning Code, a Zone Text
Amendment is also proposed.
Proposed Development Project:
The new specific plan and land use changes specified above will facilitate the construction of a
new Topgolf building and surface parking in the CPR/OS subarea, and a redeveloped clubhouse
and modified holes in the golf course within the PUB-REC/OS subarea. Further, onsite beer,wine
and alcohol in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the clubhouse and Topgolf facilities
are proposed, as well as signage for the various uses.
The proposed development includes replacing the existing driving range with a three-story
approximately 67,000 square-foot Topgolf commercial recreation and entertainment facility. The
new facility would measure approximately 55-feet in overall height, and will include a 32,300
square-foot hitting bay and seating/waiting area, which consists of private suites. From these
hitting bays,players would hit balls into an open area that will be surrounded by netting on poles
up to 175 feet in height that are designed to contain errant balls. The facility would include: a
10,024 square feet of restaurant, bar, and kitchen space; 3,144 square feet of meeting and event
space; 2,439 square feet of office space; 1,895 square feet of lounge space; 1,365 square feet of
lobby space; and 15,994 square feet of storage, circulation, and miscellaneous space. The facility
will also include approximately 3,000 square feet of outdoor terrace on the third floor that provides
entertainment involving live music from a band or disc jockey(DJ). All DJ's and bands would be
required to connect to the facility's in-house sound system and speakers, allowing the ability to
control the volume and other sound levels. All overhead speakers would be oriented inward and
down to the facility's floors. Lastly,the driving range grass would be replaced with a high density
fiber turf.
The existing parking lot will also be modified and expanded to accommodate a total of 523 spaces
(420 spaces in the CPR/OS Subarea and 103 spaces in the abutting WBMWD property). The
parking is designed to serve players and visitors of both the proposed Topgolf facility and the
existing golf course facility.
Modifications to the fairways and layouts of three holes at the existing golf course are also
proposed. Further, to accommodate nighttime play at the golf course, lighting is proposed
throughout the course, which will be primarily concentrated at the tee boxes and greens. The
Council will be deciding whether to have CenterCal install the lighting as part of the construction
activities at the golf course or delay such to a later time. Lastly, the existing clubhouse will be
demolished, and redeveloped with a new one-story clubhouse measuring 2,500 square feet with a
1,010 square foot outdoor patio overlooking a new putting and chip-shot practice area.
DISCUSSION:
During the Planning Commission's review of the project and the various entitlement applications,
the Planning Commission determined that the necessary findings associated with the applications
could be made in a positive manner to warrant approval of the project. With regards to the
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) the Planning Commission determined that the associated
Statement of Facts and Findings could also be made to warrant certifying the EIR. As a result, on
July 13, 2017, the Planning Commission adopted PC Resolution Nos. 2820 and 2821 (attached)
18
45-144
recommending that the City Council certify the EIR for the project, and that the City Council
approve the associated applications.
The following is a summary discussion of the applications to approve the proposed project. It is a
summary of the rationale articulated by Staff and supported by the Planning Commission for
support of each application. A more in depth analyses for each application can be found in the
attached Planning Commission Staff Reports of June 8 and July 13, 2017.
Specific Plan:
The Lakes Specific Plan is intended to provide flexibility for The Lakes golf course, to expand its
existing operations or develop new facilities that would be compatible with the existing facilities
and uses. The specific plan includes a development concept that accounts for and allows for the
Topgolf facility that is part of the overall project applications. Further,the plan includes new land
use and zoning categories and identifies the properties that are effected, It should be noted that
the Lease Agreement only allows for Top Golf to operate a driving range, food and beverage
services and banquet facilities regardless of the uses that may be allowed by the Specific Plan.
Design guidelines are also included to help promote high-quality development,while development
standards are included to address uses, lot area, height, setbacks, floor area,parking, landscaping
and signage. All development in the project area would be subject to the development standards
and requirements of the specific plan and the Lease Agreement. All proposed development plans
and entitlements within the specific plan boundaries are consistent with the standards set forth in
the specific plan. If an issue, condition or situation occurs that is not provided for or contained in
the proposed Specific Plan or the Lease Agreement, then compliance with the standards of the
city's Municipal Code will be required.
General Plan Amendment and Zone Change:
The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change would establish The Lakes Specific
Plan (TLSP) as a new land use and zoning district for the 26.5-acre Lakes at El Segundo golf
course. The site is currently designated as Parks in the El Segundo General Plan and is consistently
zoned Open Space (O-S). The proposal includes a General Plan Amendment to change the Land
Use designation to The Lakes Specific Plan and a Zone Change to the underlying zoning
designation to TLSP (The Lakes Specific Plan). The TLSP will allow the flexibility for The Lakes
to expand and offer new uses, allowing new development that is compatible with the existing golf
course facility and operations.
General Plan and Zoning Consistency
The El Segundo General Plan provides the underlying fundamentals of The Lakes Specific Plan,
serving as a planning and regulatory document. The Specific Plan is the document implementing
the General Plan for the Specific Plan area. With approval of the amendment,the Specific Plan is
consistent with the General Plan goals, objectives and policies. Specifically, the project would
meet the following General Plan goals, policies and objectives of the Land Use, Economic
Development, Circulation, Open Space and Recreation, Conservation, Noise, and Public Safety
Elements.
It should be noted that,pursuant to Government Code Section No. 65358, any mandatory element
of the General Plan may be modified a maximum of four times per calendar year. Should the
19
45-145
requested General Plan amendment be approved, it would represent this year's first amendment to
the City's General Plan.
In accordance with Municipal Code Section 15-26-4B, the proposed zone change is necessary to
carry out the proposed project because the proposed General Plan amendment would change the
land use classification of the project site from Parks to The Lakes Specific Plan, and the proposed
zone change is necessary to maintain consistency with the General Plan land use designation. The
proposed zone change is consistent with the General Plan goals, objectives and policies of the
Elements identified above.
Zone Text Amendment:
The proposed zone text amendment (ZTA 16-04) will add the new TLSP Zoning designation to
the Zoning Code and will be memorialized as a new section in the Municipal Code(Section 15-3-
2(A)(11)). The proposed zone text amendment carries out the proposed project by establishing
The Lakes Specific Plan (TLSP) zone, and is necessary to ensure consistency with the General
Plan and further the goals,objectives and policies.
Lot Line Adjustment:
The proposed lot line adjustment (SUB 16-03) will reconfigure the two existing parcels in The
Lakes Specific Plan such that Topgolf's commercial recreation and entertainment facility will be
wholly located within the CPR/OS subarea, and the existing nine-hole golf course and new
clubhouse would be wholly located within the PUB-REC/OS subarea of the specific plan. The
reconfigured lots will each exceed the minimum lot area requirement of 10-acres,and will facilitate
construction of the proposed project.
Site Plan Review:
The site plan review (SPR 16-01) is for the proposed improvements within The Lakes Specific
Plan area,which includes a new Topgolf building, a redeveloped clubhouse,modified holes in the
golf course, and golf course lighting. According to the plans submitted for the project, the
proposed development is consistent with the development standards and design guidelines
established by The Lakes Specific Plan document.
With regards to parking, the City's Zoning Code does not contain parking standards for
commercial recreational or golf course uses. Thus, a shared parking demand analysis was
conducted to determine the minimum number of parking spaces necessary to meet the demands of
both the Topgolf facility and the nine-hole golf course. The parking analysis utilized two existing
Topgolf facilities in Scottsdale and Gilbert, Arizona. Utilizing the parking counts obtained for
these site, which includes weekend and weekday AM and PM peak demands, and factoring the
nine-hole golf course, the parking analysis concluded that a maximum hourly parking demand of
464 parking spaces is forecast to occur. Thus, a minimum of 464 parking spaces are required to
accommodate the proposed Topgolf facility and nine-hole golf course. However, the proposed
project will meet the forecasted demand by providing for a total of 523 parking spaces.
When an issue,condition or situation occurs which is not provided for or contained in the proposed
Specific Plan or the Lease Agreement,then compliance with the standards of the city's Municipal
Code will be required.
20
45-146
Conditional Use Permit(CUP):
In accordance with The Lakes Specific Plan, the project includes a conditional use permit (CUP
16-05)to allow onsite beer,wine and alcohol in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the
clubhouse and Topgolf facilities. In considering a CUP application, ESMC 15-23-6 requires
certain findings be made in reference to the property and project under consideration.
The Planning Commission and staff believe there is adequate evidence to support the required
conditional use permit findings and is recommending approval to allow onsite beer, wine and
alcohol in the restaurants, bar and entertainment areas of the clubhouse and Topgolf facilities,
subject to the conditions of approval listed in Exhibit A of attached Resolution No. 2821. The
City Council 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.
Environmental Impact Report(EIR):
Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and based on
Staff's review of the project and discussion with the applicant, City Staff concluded that the
proposed project necessitated the preparation of an EIR.
The EIR concluded that the proposed project will not result in or create any significant impacts, or
have less than significant impacts to aesthetics, agricultural resources, biological resources,
cultural resources, geology and soils,greenhouse gas emissions,hydrology and water quality, land
use and planning, mineral resources, population and housing, public services, recreation,
transportation/traffic, and utilities and service systems. The EIR also concluded that the proposed
project could result in potentially significant impacts to air quality, hazards/hazardous materials,
and noise. However, it was also concluded that any potential impacts could be mitigated to a less
than significant level through the imposition of certain mitigation measures. These potential
impacts and the appropriate mitigation measures related to these environmental factors are
contained in the associated EIR and in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program in the
attached Resolution.
The City received 7 comment letters during the circulation of the F_,IR document. In addition to
the written comments, the City held a public meeting to take verbal comments. As part of the
Final EIR, the document contains a section titled "Response to Comments", which contains each
of the written comments submitted and a response to each comment, and a section containing the
mitigation measures identified in the EIR document to reduce impacts to a less than significant
level. Lastly, the Final EIR contains an Errata section to the DEIR, which contains some minor
modifications to the text for clarification or edits resulting from the comments received. The text
modifications are shown in underline for language added and strii(etih+eUO for language deleted.
As a result of the comment and circulation periods associated with the Initial Study and the
subsequent Draft EIR, and with the edits made to the Final EIR and responses to comments, no
new impacts have been identified to warrant recirculation of the document or significant
amendments to the analysis contained therein.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Grant Deed:
As the City Council is aware, the Lakes at El Segundo property was dedicated to the City of F,1
Segundo by a Corporation Grant Deed from Chevron U.S.A. Inc. in 1988,and uses at the property
are addressed in the restrictions of the Corporation Grant Deed. Staff met with Chevron and
CenterCal representatives to discuss the proposed modifications to the land use table and the grant
deed restrictions. Chevron's concern is that any private recreational use could occupy the site in
the future. However, the proposed modifications address this concern since the specific plan
would only allow a golf entertainment facility to occupy the site,but any other private recreational
facilities would continue to require approval of a conditional use permit from the City, and any
new facilities or modifications to the existing project would also be subject to the terms and
requirements defined in the Grant Deed as applicable.
Amendment to the Ground Lease Agreement:
At the August 15, 2017, Council Meeting there was an agenda item for Council's consideration
with regard to a proposed 3'Amendment to the Lease Agreement(staff report attached). The City
Attorney's Office drafted the amendment consistent with the direction given the Council at that
meeting and provided it to CenterCal on August 21. Attached is the draft Amendment but it is
missing the exhibit with regard to the form of agreement that CenterCal is going to enter into with
Chevron regarding the Grant Deed restriction referenced above. Staff is recommending that the
Council grant the City Manager authority to execute the amendment with potential minor non-
substantive revisions and so long as the City Attorney's Office approves of the form of the
Agreement between Chevron and CenterCal.
There was on issue that was discussed but not resolved at the September 15'11 Council Meeting.
The issue was what to do about Top Golf s prior commitment to pay a salary to two of the golf
professionals currently working at the Lakes during the construction period. Meredith Petit,
Director of Recreation and Parks, along with golf professional Josh Alpert and a representative of
Top Golf discussed the following proposed amendment to address this issue — "Topgolf will
contribute $2,000/month to the City of EI Segundo during the golf course construction period
(estimated 6-8 months) to employ or contract with individual(s) and/or service providers to
promote future programs at Topgolf El Segundo and The Lakes at El Segundo Golf Course." If
this term is acceptable to the Council then the City Attorney's Office will add it to the amendment.
It is very important that the amendment be executed before the potential second reading of the
Ordinance for the project occurs. The Lease Agreement expires at the end of this month so it needs
to be in effect and the City needs the assurance that the issues addressed in the amendment are in
place before the project is approved. If the amendment is not signed before the potential October
3rd meeting, the agenda item will need to be delayed.
West Basin Property License Agreement:
As indicated above, the project includes up to 103 parking spaces on the abutting West Basin
Municipal Water District (WBMWD) property. The City and the WBMWD have negotiated the
terms of a license agreement allowing the City to construct and maintain a parking lot on the
WBMWD property adjacent to the project site. The parking lot would serve patrons of both the
22
45-148
golf course and Topgolf facility. The City expects the WBMWD Board to approve the form of
the License Agreement at its September meeting. If the Council introduces the necessary
Ordinance, staff will present the License Agreement to the Council for potential approval,
concurrent with the second reading, at the October 3`d City Council meeting.
Golf Course Design:
On June 16, 2015, the City Council created the Golf Course Design Task Force, appointing nine
individuals to work with staff and Centercal to develop the new golf course design. The task force
assisted with the selection of a world-renowned golf course architectural firm, Fry/Straka Global
Golf Course Design. The task force worked closely with the firm,meeting approximately 12 times
to design the best possible golf course within the given parameters of space,safety,and playability.
On May 17, 2016, the City Council approved the conceptual 9-hole golf course design that was
recommended by the Golf Course Design Task Force. The design was presented as the most
feasible option to retain safety and quality, enhance practice areas, and accomplish the
community's and City's highest priorities of maintaining a facility that encompasses parks and
recreation core values. The design also offered a golf-focused experience conducive to learning
and instruction, and provides access to a diversified population. On August 15,2017, the Council
approved further revisions to the proposed design.
The final design (attached) includes modifying the original par-4 Hole #9 to a lengthy par-3,
reconfigures Holes 41,92, and#3, and modified the tee boxes at Holes 45 and#8. The design also
expands the short game and putting green practice areas to over 30,000 square feet. The total
yardage of this design is 1,204 yards. The final design is subject to the Council's approval. If the
design is approved as part of the Council's action, the Golf Course Design Task Force can be
disbanded as their task will be completed.
Construction Time Line:
According to the applicant, construction of the project is anticipated to commence shortly after
November 2°d,the effective date if the City Council approves the project. Construction of the golf
course and proshop is expected to be completed within eight months, with the goal of reopening
by summer 2018 to avoid impacts to summer programs. Construction of the Topgolf facility is
expected to be completed within one year,with a goal of opening the facility by the end of 2018.
Construction of the parking lot will be done in phases such that part of the parking lot is complete
and ready for use when the golf course and club house/proshop open, with the full parking lot
completed with the construction of the Topgolf facility. Since the golf course and club
house/proshop will be completed first, appropriate signage and construction personnel will be on-
site during construction to minimize conflicts between construction vehicles and visitors of the
golf course.
Financial Analysis:
Pro Forma Advisors, LLC, was retained to prepare a financial analysis and comparison study of
the Lakes golf course and the proposed Topgolf project. The study assessed the benefits and costs
to the City of El Segundo of the proposed project,taking into account current economic conditions
and historic trends, as well as historic performance of the Lakes Golf Course. The study, with a
full assessment including Pro Forma's finding and conclusions, is attached.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Through a Settlement Agreement between the Wiseburn Unified School District("Wiseburn")and
the City of El Segundo, the two parties have been collaborating on designing and constructing a
joint-use aquatics facility that will be located on Wiseburn property but operated and maintained
by the City. The City Council approved a facility design that includes a 53.2-meter by 25-meter
competition pool, a warm-up pool, spectator seating, locker rooms and restroom facilities, staff
offices, a mechanical building, parking lot, and sports lighting. The upgraded facility design was
in large part selected to enable the City to maximize its potential to generate revenue through a
wide variety of programming and special event rentals. The facility is currently under construction
and, according to the Settlement Agreement, must be completed on or before July 31, 2018.
47
To properly prepare for the facility opening it is necessary to have full-time staff in place at least
six months prior to the facility opening to begin planning programs, booking events,
recommending fee schedules, establishing operational and personnel policies, and recruiting,
hiring and training lifeguard staff. The recruitment period for a full-time position will take
approximately four months from posting to first day of work. Additionally, experienced
supervisory staff is a critical component to meeting the revenue projections of this facility to ensure
its financial sustainability into the future. To that end, staff recommends the addition of a
Recreation Supervisor position to be located at the new Aquatics Center and who will oversee the
daily operations of all Aquatics activities, including the new facility, the Plunge and Hilltop and
Acacia Outdoor Pools.
The recommended personnel structure dedicated solely to aquatics would include one full-time
Pool Maintenance Technician (under Public Works Department), one full-time Recreation
Supervisor (located at the Aquatics Center), and one full-time Recreation Coordinator (located at
the Plunge). All facilities will continue to be staffed with appropriate Senior Lifeguards and
Lifeguards to enforce pool rules and provide emergency response to swimmers in distress. Lastly,
Recreation Leaders are required to function as cashiers to provide customer service functions such
as collecting entrance fees, admitting entry, processing program registrations, answering phone
calls and providing general information to the public.
During the planning stages of this project the City consulted with Isaac Sports Group, LLC, to
conduct a Programming, Design, and Financial Analysis of various aquatics center options, in
which the findings and recommendations were presented to the City Council on February 3, 2015.
At the August 20, 2017 City Council meeting, the City Council requested that the financial
projections be updated and presented in discussion with staffing recommendations. Stu Isaac will
be presenting the updated data and financial projections during the verbal portion of this discussion
item on October 3rd
Also at the August 20, 2017 City Council meeting, the possibility of utilizing consulting services
for pre-opening support was discussed as a potential cost-savings measure as well as allowing the
City to make significant progress prior to a City employee being secured. Staff has researched
aquatics management companies,received informal proposals, as well as reviewed the capabilities
of the current consultant, Isaac Sports Group (ISG). ISG is available and willing to expand their
scope of services to provide pre-opening support and can begin immediately. The main tasks
include marketing the facility, establishing partnerships with users including obtaining letters of
intent to rent the facility, assisting with establishing operations policies and developing an
operations manual, assist with recruitment of experienced full-time supervisory staff, establishing
fee schedules, and helping to train and orient lifeguard staff as we approach opening day. The City
currently has a Professional Services Agreement with ISG and has encumbered the funds to allow
for this type of scope expansion. Due to ISG's vast knowledge of the project from assisting for
over two years, staff recommends continuing to utilize ISG for these pre-opening services.
As a result of City Council comments on August 20, 2017, staff also inquired with other California
cities about outsourcing facility management on a long-term basis. The overall findings revealed
that many cities that outsource facility management are smaller, often seasonal facilities, with a
less complex set of programming than the City's new facility will encompass. There are few
aquatics management companies available and many of the examples appear to be operated by a
local business that expand for the purposes of operating a component of the nearby facility. Each
48
case is unique and difficult to compare, determine the cost, or gauge interest without a formal RFP
or scope of services.
The adopted FYI 7/18 budget includes 75% of the annual cost of a Recreation Supervisor position
for the new Aquatics Center. Staff recently amended the agreement with Isaac Sports Group and
encumbered an additional $25,000 from the Aquatics Trust Account for consulting services
through FYI 7/18 to include assistance in pre-opening tasks.

environment
PREPARED BY: Arecia Yee, Recreation Superintendent
REVIEWED BY: Meredith Petit, Director of Recreation and Parks
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
Understanding the challenges of an aging building, the Senior Housing Board Corporation (SHBG)
realized that an even greater concern was the inability to sustain adequate financial support beyond the
year of 2027. To address this concern,the SHBC engaged McCaffery Reserve Consulting to provide a
reserve analysis review of Park Vista (Attachment 1). According to the report, Park Vista's current
reserve of$1.6 million should fund estimated maintenance costs until 2022. However,by 2027 Park
Vista will be almost$2.5 million"in the red"without alternative means to increase the current reserve w
fund. The study demonstrates that Park Vista does not have adequate funding in its current financial G}-
50
state to repair normal wear and tear of the facility. The reserve study suggests that Park Vista accrue an
annual income of$324,000, equitable to $27,000 a month to build an adequate reserve level.
Fortunately,on July 19,2017 City Council appropriated$882,544 from the General Fund reserves to the
Voter Right's Trust(a.k.a. Park Vista). In addition, Council also forgave the loan which relieved Park
Vista from paying$13,000 monthly. Although these actions provided a significant boost to Park Vista's
reserve,we are still short nearly$12,000 of the$27,000 per month needed to obtain the recommended
reserve level.
Affordable rental rates for Park Vista is 50% of the actual market rent in El Segundo. Presently,rents
for new Park Vista tenants are $637 a month for studios and $895 a month for one bedrooms. On
average, current tenants pay $500 for studios and $630 for single units. The Board approved a slight
increase of 1.75%for current tenants and their rents are well below the 50%criteria set by City Council
for establishing new rates. Many of the tenants are long term. Currently,the list for Park Vista has 56
names and the waiting period is between two and three years. To qualify for Park Vista's affordable
housing,applicants must be 62 years or older,meet financial criteria and be an El Segundo resident for
at least a year prior to submitting an application.
At the June 28th, 2017 El Segundo Senior Citizen Housing Board Corporation Meeting, the Board
formed a subcommittee for the purpose of developing some options to expand the income of the
building and reduce the cost of maintenance. Typically,large projects that are subject to Public Works
requirements run twice as long and is sometimes three times the normal cost for the same work on a
privately owned building. For example, the amount used for the attached reserve study for the roof
replacement was $210,900 when the actual cost was $390,000 for the roof we replaced several years
ago.
At the August 23, 2017 El Segundo Senior Citizen Housing Board Corporation Meeting, the Board
discussed three recommendations to resolve PV's reserve issue. The Board approved moving forward
with all three of the options listed below.
OPTION 1: Rents for incoming tenants in studios (32 @ $637 = 20,389). Convert existing
studios to one bedrooms for incoming new tenants only. 32 studios @ $895 =$28,640. Over
time we could increase the income of the building by$8,256 per month.
OPTION 2: Form a new non-profit entity and build 24 units on the current PV parking lot
(Attachment 2). Rents at market to fund repairs at Park Vista. For a rough estimate of
$2,700,000 (9000 square foot @ $300 per square foot)build 24 units with rents at market and
receive$32,400 minus 30%expenses($9,700)minus loan payment of$13,689 and have$9,011
income per month to help with Park Vista expenses.
OPTION 3: Direct the City Attorney's office to look into the public works/prevailing wage
issues and seek an opinion from the Department of Industrial Relations. Recommend that the
Park Vista no longer be required to use Public Works to fix repairs.
Option 1 can be achieved with minimum funding and without Public Works involvement. The average
square footage for a studio at Park Vista is 414. The average size for a small one bedroom is 537 square
feet. It's not uncommon for studios to be 300-350 square feet in today's multi-family real estate market.
51
Option 2 requires additional work,but at a glance,the parking lot location can support up to twenty-four
studio units and demand significant market rents. This offers an opportunity to build PV's reserve and
possibly even expand El Segundo's affordable senior housing by twenty-four units. Once Park Vista is
appropriately funded,the twenty-four unit's rents could be reduced to the 50%of market rate.The need
for affordable senior housing continues to grow as life expectancy increases.
Option 3 needs immediate action due to the overwhelming costs of Public Works projects.In addition,
Public Works has a myriad of other city projects to address than Park Vista, and the Board has found it
difficult to get Park Vista projects placed as a high priority in the list of city projects. In October 2016,
after several reoccurring plumbing problems, which cause significant water damage and unexpected
costs, the Board motioned to have the Public Works Department get bids to install new copper
plumbing throughout the building. This project still needs to be prioritized and initiated.
Park Vista is an extremely unique City asset vital to both the current and future seniors of El Segundo.
Utilizing the reserve study as a guideline, along with the management expertise of the Cadman Group
will maintain Park Vista for the next three years. Securing the financial future of Park Vista beyond
2022, must be addressed right away. The above options offer viable strategies for City Council to
consider.

Preface
A reserve study is a detailed report that assists common interest developments(CID) in planning for
long-term common area repair and replacement expenses. These common areas differ for every
development. They can include streets, roofs, recreational facilities and many other items.
A reserve study estimates the costs of common area repairs and replacements over a 30 year period.
Each component is given a useful life, remaining life,and estimated cost. A reserve study then
calculates the funds necessary to cover these expenses by creating funding plans.
The Big Picture - What are the significant figures to look at in the report?
• The Component List—What are our reserve components and when will they need maintenance
Every reserve study must start with a list of the components. The component summary contains the list
of all the components,their useful and remaining lives, and their estimated costs. These numbers are
the building blocks for most of the figures in the study.
• Percent Funded -What is our current financial standing
Probably the most important number in a reserve study is percent funded. It's almost like a credit score
for an association. It tells them the current strength of their reserve fund.
Over 70%=Well Funded Between 30-70%=Fairly Funded Below 30%= Poorly Funded
The lower your percent funded the higher the risk of a special assessment. A low percent funded also
increases the likelihood of deferred maintenance which can cause declining property values.
• Funding Plans-How much do we need to save for the future
The next important part of the study is the theoretical 30 year funding plans. The study contains 3
funding plans. It projects what the percent funded will be over the next 30 years if the CID follows each
of these plans.
Current Funding Plan—This plan is based on what the association is currently contributing to its reserve
fund. This information is supplied by the board or management
Recommended Funding Plan—This is McCaffery's recommendation, if a CID follows the recommended
plan they should end up well funded and near the 100%funded level.
5%Threshold Funding Pian -The threshold funding plan is a 30 year cash flow plan that calculates the
minimum amount a CID should contribute so their reserve balance won't fall below 5%funded and
cause the need for a special assessment. The percent funded will at some point fall into poorly funded
levels but will never drop below 5%. If a CID has a funding plan that is below this threshold plan they
should also plan on a future special assessment and/or a deferred maintenance. (Following this plan
does carry higher risk of a special assessment if a component fails early or costs more than expected)

Why Should a Reserve Study be performed?
Certain states, such as California, require that reserve studies be completed and updated
annually and that the board of directors inform owners of the reserve status with their annual
budget. In addition, the board of directors of a common interest development (CID) has a legal
and fiduciary duty to maintain the community in a good state of repair. Property Values are
directly affected by the level of maintenance and upkeep of the common area components.
Reserve studies create a maintenance plan, which keeps a development in good condition,
therefore increasing property appreciation and value. The amount of funds in the reserve
account also greatly affects property values. Reserve studies inform CID's how much they
should have in their reserve account, which eliminates costly special assessments. Over time
each member of a CID should contribute their fair share to the reserve account so when
expenses arise the required funds are available. Reserve Studies help board members fulfill
their fiduciary duty and also help avoid litigation against an association.
Where do Component Repair/Replacement Cost Estimates Come From?
The most accurate cost source is actual bids from contractors or to look at contracts from when
the repair/replacement was last performed. In most cases bids or contracts are not available so
unit costs for similar work done in the same local area are used. In addition, it is helpful to talk
to local vendors who have knowledge of the work and can help with a cost estimate. A third
source is to use construction cost estimators such as RS Means. Many times the entire quantity
of a component will not need to be replaced or repaired all at once. An example of this is
concrete sidewalks. All sidewalks should never have to be replaced, but some sections may
experience cracking. In this case an allowance can be created for their partial replacement.
The cost source number for each component is provided in the component summary and
details. An explanation of each follows:
1. Local Historical Cost—Cost based on bids for similar work done in same area.
2. McCaffery Estimate—Estimate or Allowance made by McCaffery Staff Member.
3. Board/Manager Direction—Cost estimate provided by board member or
property manager.
4. Bid/Contract—Bid came from actual bid or contract.
5. Cost Manual—Cost came from estimating manual.
6. Previous Study—Cost came from previous reserve study.

Current Budgeted Reserve Assessment—Amount currently being deposited into reserve
account. Provided by Property Manager or Board Member.
Depreciation This Year—Amount that should be saved for component during current year.
Provided for each component and summed for all components. If the association is 100%
funded this is the amount they should contribute to the reserve fund annually. =(Total Current
Cost/ Normal Useful Life)
Depreciation Percent—A components percentage of the total depreciation of all components.
=(Component Depreciation/Total Depreciation of all components)
Fully Funded Balance—The total depreciation over the life of the component. In other words,
the amount that should have been saved during the life of the component. Provided for each
component and summed for all components=((Useful Life—Remaining Life) * Depreciation This
Year)
Full Funded Balance Percent—A component's percentage of the total fully funded balance of
all components. =(Component FFB/Total FFB of all Components)
Monthly Contribution—The amount that should be allocated to each component using the
recommended funding plan. =((Component Depreciation/Total Depreciation)*Recommended
Monthly Funding)
Life Remaining Percent—The percentage of life that a component has remaining=(Remaining
Live/Useful Life)
Normal Useful Life—Typical useable life for a component.
Percent Funded—The percentage of the fully funded balance that the CID has in reserve fund.
(Projected Balance/ Fully Funded Balance)
Projected Balance—Projected balance at fiscal year end with current funding plan. Calculated
using current reserve balance, remaining contributions to reserves before year-end, and
planned expenses before year-end. Supplied by board or management.
Recommended Reserve Contribution —Recommended amount that the CID should allocate
into reserves to offset future expenses.
1-3
57
Remaining Life— Expected remaining useable life of component. (0 year remaining life means
the component will be serviced in the upcoming fiscal year)
Replacement Year—Year that component is projected to be replaced or repaired.
Total Cost—Total cost to replace or repair component in today's dollars. =(Quantity x Unit
Cost)
Total Future Cost- Current cost adjusted to future cost taking into account inflation and
replacement year. =(Current Cost * (1+ inflation rate)^(Replacement Year-Present Year))
Threshold Reserve Contribution—Reserve contribution that should be allocated into reserves
to keep reserve balance above a minimum amount during the next 30 years. (Minimum
amount is 5%funded unless otherwise noted)
Under Funded—Amount association is short of fully funded balance; also known as a deficit.
=(Fully Funded Balance—Projected Balance)
Unit Cost—Cost per Unit.
Unit of Measure—Unit used to measure component. (Explanations shown below)
SF—Square Feet
SY—Square Yard
LF—Linear Feet
Each—Per Single Unit
Lump Sum -Total cost for component
Allowance—Allowance for component repair or replacement
Contract—Cost obtained from actual contract or bid
Useful Life—Time in years component is expected to last.
What Procedures were used for calculation and establishment of reserves?
In this study the fully funded reserve balance for a component at a given time was computed
using the component method. Using the component method the fully funded reserve balance
equals the current cost of replacement or repair multiplied by the number of years the
component has been in service divided by the useful life of the component.
For example if the cost of a boiler is $10,000, the useful life is 10 years and the remaining life is
3 years. The recommended reserve balance would be:
$10,000 x((10-3)/10) = $7,000.

One Page Description of how we come up with the Numbers in this Report
The numbers in this report start with the components listed in the component summary.
1. Lvery component is given a useful life, remaining life, and an estimated cost
We will use a boiler as an example. This boiler is expected to last 10 years and has been in use
for 7 years. The estimated cost is $10,000.
Component Usetul Life
Boiler 10
2. The fullOunded balance is calculated
Fully Funded Balance = (Useful life-Remaining Life)/Useful Life * Cost
(10-3)/10 * $10,000= $7,000
The fully funded balance is then summed for all components and this is the total fully funded
balance for the development.
3. Fullv Funded Balance is then compared to the actual protected vear-end balance that
the development has saved for reserves
This is called the percent funded. For our example let's say the development had $5,000 saved
for their boiler. Their percent funded would be:
Percent Funded = Projected Year End Reserve Balance/Fully Funded Balance
$5,000/$7,000 =71%
4. Next expenses are projected for each component for the next 30 vears using the useful
and remaining lives
This information is shown in the annual expenses by component section. Inflation is included in
these figures.
5. Using the proiected expenses for the next 30 vears the funding plans are created
Funding plans are created so that the development has enough money to offset their projected
expenses for the next 30 years.
We try to create funding plans that have a uniform contribution over a 30 year period with a
slight increase over time for inflation.

30 Year Projections
Reserve expenses will vary from year to year. A reserve study predicts these expenses and offsets them
by creating a uniform funding plan that increases slightly over time to keep up with inflation.

Disclaimer
This report attempts to determine the estimated remaining useful life of the components that can be visually
observed.This report is expressly for the use of the client and only for the purpose of establishing reserve
funding requirements.The study is not a guarantee or warranty,or a recommendation to purchase.
Estimated remaining useful lives are calculated with reasonable consideration for weather conditions.
Natural disasters,including seismic activity will not be addressed in this report.Reserve Funding for
earthquake damages and other disasters exceeds the scope of the study. We recommend the development
consider additional insurance to cover unforeseen disasters. We assume the components of the association
will receive proper maintenance. The report is expressly for the use of the client and only for the purpose
of establishing reserve funding requirements.
In providing the opinions of probable construction costs,the client understands that McCaffery Reserve
Consulting(MRC)has no control over costs or the price of labor,equipment or materials,or over the
contractor's method of pricing,and that the opinions of probable construction costs provided herein are to
be made on the basis of MRC's qualifications and experience. MRC makes no warranty,expressed or
implied,as to the accuracy of such opinions as compared to bid or actual costs.
Because the reserve study is a projection,the estimated lives and costs of components will likely change
over time depending on a variety of factors such as future inflation rates and levels of maintenance applied
by future boards,unknown defects in materials that may lead to premature failures,etc.As a result,some
components may experience longer lives while others will experience premature failures. Some
components may cost less at the time of replacement due to changes in manufacturing methods while
others may cost more due to material shortages or high demand. All future projections are therefore
theoretical and reserve studies should be updated annually.
MRC has made a reasonable effort to ensure that the report is accurate.This study does not preclude errors
resulting from unforeseen conditions or circumstances. The scope of this report is expressly limited to the
components described herein. MRC has obtained certain information,documentation and materials from
the association agent and the reserve study is based upon the accuracy of such information. Material
inaccuracies could adversely effect the reserve study. MRC is not responsible for such inaccuracies. This
study is limited to a visual observation. There has been neither destructive testing nor inspection of the

REVIEWED BY: Ken Berkman, Public Works Director
Meredith Petit, Recreation and Parks Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manage
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The Picnic Shelter at Recreation Park (east of the tennis courts) has not been upgraded since it
was constructed in the 1977. The picnic shelter has broken skylights on the roof, paint peeling
from the steel columns and beams, and outdated light fixtures that are not energy efficient and do
118
not illuminate as bright as compared to modern light fixtures. The picnic shelter is frequently
used by many of the City's residents of all ages for a variety of activities throughout the year.
$30,000 of the project funding is secured through a Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open
Space District Grant, which must be spent before the end of the year to retain eligibility.
The existing tables and benches will be relocated by City staff prior to beginning construction
and reinstalled after construction is complete. The existing concrete slab will remain in place but
minor modifications will be necessary to accommodate the new footings for the new picnic
shelter.
On July 18, 2017, Council approved the complete set of plans and specifications for the project
and authorized staff to advertise the project for receipt of construction bids. On August 22,
2017,the City Clerk received and opened two (2) bids, as follows:
1. NoHo Constructors $86,600.00
2. Newbuild Construction and Restoration Inc. $137,500.00
The lowest responsible bidder is NoHo Constructors. Staff checked the Contractor's references
and license status. NoHo Constructors has satisfactorily completed similar projects for other
public agencies and its license is in good standing.
Therefore, staff respectfully recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to
execute a standard Public Works Contract in a form approved by the City Attorney with NoHo
Constructors in the amount of$86,600.00 and authorize an additional $8,660.00 for construction
related contingencies.
The schedule for this project is estimated as follows:
Construction Start—November 2017
Construction End—January 2018

L. Revise the conditions of approval to simplify the traffic analysis
methodology;
M. Delete obsolete conditions and conditions related to signs that will be
incorporated into the C-4 zone sign standards; and
N. Add a condition requiring that a minimum percentage of the project floor
area be dedicated to sales tax generating uses.
SECTION_3_: General Plan Findings. As required under Government Code Section
65860, the ESMC amendments proposed by the project are consistent with the EI
Segundo General Plan as follows:
A. The proposed ordinance is consistent with Goal LU4 of the General Plan
Land Use Element in that it will permit new commercial uses, such as animal
hospitals, assembly halls, daycare centers, multi-media offices, and
recreational uses, which will help provide a stable tax base by promoting a
mixed-use environment in the C-4 zone and.
& The proposed ordinance is consistent with Objective LU44 of the General
Land Use Element in that it will permit new uses in existing commercial and
industrial areas, such as animal hospitals, assembly halls, daycare centers,
multi-media offices, and recreational uses, which have the potential to
maximize economic benefit and reduce traffic impacts.
C. The proposed ordinance is consistent with Objective ED1-2 of the General
Plan Economic Development Element in that would permit several new
uses in the C-4 zone, which promotes the diversification of the City's retail
and commercial base.
D. Considering all of its aspects, the proposed project will further the objectives
and policies of the general plan and will not obstruct their attainment.
SECTION 4: Zone Text Amendment Findings. In accordance with ESMC Chapter 15-26
(Amendments), and based on the findings set forth in Section 2, the proposed ordinance
is consistent with and necessary to carry out the purpose of the ESMC as follows:
A. The ordinance is consistent with the purpose of the ESMC, which is to serve
the public health, safety, and general welfare and to provide the economic
Page 3 of 13
124
and social advantages resulting from an orderly planned use of land
resources.
B. The ordinance is necessary to facilitate the development process and
ensure the orderly development of buildings and the location of uses in the
City. The intent of the ordinance is to update the permitted uses, and the
development standards in the C-4 zone, which will facilitate and expedite
the development process and provide economic and social benefits
resulting from the orderly planned use of land resources.
SECTION 5. Development Agreement Findings. In accordance with Government Code
§ 65867.5 and Resolution No. 3268, adopted June 26, 1984, the City Council finds as
follows:
A. The Development Agreement is consistent with the General Plan of EI
Segundo and there are no applicable Specific Plans. The Revised and
Restated Development Agreement is an extension of that Development
Agreement originally approved in March 2005 and therefore a continuation
of the Development Agreement Findings set forth in Section 5 of Ordinance
No. 1382 which findings are incorporated by reference. By allowing
increased development and expanding the allowed uses, the Development
Agreement and corresponding zoning changes continue to provide the
following benefits:
1. Protection against the Plaza EI Segundo development (both Phase
1A and Phase 1 B) from becoming blighted due to a change in retail sales
by allowing additional uses which will create a synergy;
2. Provision of an attractive urban destination;
3. Increasing and stabilizing the City's tax base by allowing new
commercial development;
4. Provision of long-term employment and increase the employment
opportunities for the residents of the City of EI Segundo;
5. Add to the diversification of economic base in the City;
6. Provision of significant fiscal benefit to the City through additional
business licenses and sales tax revenues; and
7. Provision of additional retail use and commercial services to the
adjacent employment centers.
B. The Development Agreement is compatible with the uses authorized in and
regulations prescribed for the Commercial Center (C-4) zoning district. The
Page 4 of 13
125
C-4 zone was created for this area and the zoning is being amended
consistent with the Development Agreement.
C. The Development Agreement is in conformity with the public convenience,
general welfare and good land use practice as it provides expanded
commercial opportunities in a synergistic manner with the existing Plaza EI
Segundo development and adjacent land uses but does not increase the
overall allowed traffic.
D. The Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the health, safety
and general welfare. As evidenced by the Addendum approved by
Resolution No. 5053, there will not be any new significant impacts.
E. The Development Agreement will not adversely affect the orderly
development of property or the preservation of property values as it does
not expand development beyond the physical boundaries of Plaza EI
Segundo (Phase 1A and Phase 1 B), which is already developed.
SECTION 6: Environmental Assessment. Resolution No. 5053 approving an Addendum
and a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC) for this Project which, among other
things, properly assesses the environmental impact of this Ordinance, and the Project, in
accordance with CEQA. This Ordinance incorporates by reference the environmental
findings and analysis set forth in Resolution No. 5053. Prior to adopting this Ordinance,
the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5053 approving the use of an Addendum.

L INTRODUCTION
The proposed project is a request to amend the approvals for the Plaza El Segundo and The Point
shopping centers which together comprise Phase 1 of a project originally approved in 2005. As
approved,the two centers consist of 498,442 square feet of retail,restaurant, grocery store,general
and medical office, service, and fitness uses. Street Retail, Inc., the property owner, seeks to
increase the size of the project by 18,850 square feet; lift certain size restrictions on tenant spaces
and on the size for specific uses; allow additional pennitted uses in the C-4 zone; and increase the
number and size of the permitted monument signs for the two shopping centers.
The intent of the proposed changes is to: a) respond to trends in the shopping center sector, b)
address persistent vacancies, especially in that portion of Plaza El Segundo known as The Edge
(east of Allied Way),and c)to give the properties the flexibility to insure their long-term viability.
In addition, these changes will help insure a more stable employment and tax base for the City.
II. DISCUSSION:
1'roicet Site and Vicinity
The project site is approximately 51.7 acres and generally located at the northeast corner of
Sepulveda Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue within the Commercial Center(C-4)Zone. The main
access to Plaza El Segundo is at Park Place off Sepulveda Boulevard and the main access to The
Point is at Village Drive off Rosecrans Avenue. The overall site is surrounded by a variety of
commercial, office, light and heavy industrial uses.

136
History
Phase IA of the overall project was developed in 2005-2007 and is known as Plaza El Segundo.
Plaza El Segundo is north of the Union Pacific railroad tracks and contains approximately 378,829
square feet of leasable floor area. In 2008, the City approved an expansion to the original project
to include 8.062 acres of land and 70,000 square feet of leasable floor area south of the BNSF
railroad tracks. This area is called Phase 113. In 2013, the City Council approved a further
expansion of the project area by 4.988 acres. This area was added to Phase 113 of the site, which
increased to 13.05 acres. In addition, the City Council approved an additional 49,613 square feet
for Phase 113, which increased its total floor area to 119,613 square feet. Phase IB became what
is known as The Point.
Proust DeNcrh)tion
Environmental Assessment. The project involves an increase to the overall floor area by 18,850
square feet. The area will primarily take the form of additions to existing buildings to attract larger
national retail uses, In addition, some of the area will take the form of kiosks, trailers and other
non-traditional structures called '`pop-up retail" in the shopping center industry. These uses are
commonly used to create interest and to support a greater variety of tenants. Staff prepared an
Addendum to the adopted Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the original project. The
Addendum and its appendices are attached to this report as Exhibit 3.
Zone Text Amendment. The project makes the following changes in the permitted uses and
standards of the C-4 zone:
1. Adds new non-retail sales uses as permitted uses;
2. Removes size restrictions from certain perinitted uses;
3. Allows permitted uses to be conducted in a trailer or similar structure (pop-up retail),
subject to approval of an administrative use permit (AUP);the AUP process would control
the location, design, and timing/duration of pop-up retail uses;
4. Allows micro-breweries with tasting rooms, subject to approval of a conditional use permit;
5. Increases the permitted height for monument signs along Sepulveda Boulevard from 35 to
45 feet and for one monument sign along Allied Way from 25 to 65 feet (Exhibit 9);
6. Establishes a site plan review process to review new buildings and additions to existing
buildings for consistency with project approvals and applicable standards. Authorizes the
Planning and Building Safety Director to approve site plans for projects up to 15,000 square
feet in size.
Development Agreement Amendment ("Revised and Restated Development Agreement"). The
project makes the following changes in the development agreement for the site:
1. "The project consolidates the original agreement and all subsequent amendments into one
document;
2. It removes size restrictions from certain permitted uses;
3. It simplifies the limitations on the minimum size of individual tenant spaces by restricting
tenants less than 4,000 square feet to a combined maximum of 75,000 square feet in Phase
1 A;
4. Establishes a term of 20 years.
4
137
Conditions of approval. The project makes the following changes to the conditions of approval:
1. Consolidates the conditions into one document;
2. Deletes redundant and obsolete conditions;
3. Updates Building, Fire, and Zoning Code requirements and references;
4. Updates the project description and traffic analysis methodology;
5. Requires a minimum floor area limit for sales tax generating uses. The minimum limit
for Plaza El Segundo would be 80% and for The Point 65% of the gross leasable areas.
Site Plan Review. The applicant submitted a site plan review application for an 11,500 square-
foot addition to building A-2 (currently Cost Plus World Market) in Plaza El Segundo. The
proposed addition consists of a 5,200 square-foot expansion of the building and a new 6,300
square-foot mezzanine. The site plan is attached as Exhibit 9. The site plan review request is
being reviewed by the Planning and Building Safety Director concurrently with the overall project.
The Director will issue a decision on the request separately if the proposed ordinance is approved
and becomes effective.
General Plan and Zonina Consistency
Consistency with the El Segundo General Flan
ESMC Section 15-1-1 (Purpose, Title) states that Title 15 is the primary tool for implementation
of the goals, objectives, and policies of the El Segundo General Plan. Accordingly, the City
Council must find that the proposed Zone Text Amendment and Development Agreement
Amendment are consistent with those goals, objectives, and policies. The Planning Commission
recommended that the City Council approve the proposed amendments. The findings are
discussed in the proposed resolution.
Consistency with the El Segundo Municipal Code.
Pursuant to ESMC Title 15, Chapter 26 (Amendments), in order to approve the proposed
amendments,the City Council must find that the amendments are necessary to carry out the general
purpose of ESMC Title 15. The purpose of this Title(ESMC §15-1-1)is to serve the public health,
safety, and general welfare and to provide economic and social advantages resulting from an
orderly planned use of land resources. The Planning Commission recommended that the City
Council approve the proposed amendments. The findings are discussed in the proposed resolution.
To ensure consistency with the C-4 zone development standards,any new construction or addition
to a building will be subject to site plan review, during which review staff will evaluate detailed
plans for consistency with those standards.
III. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
On March 1,2005, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report and adopted
a Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program.
Structure of Certified Proarain/Protect EI11
The FEIR was structured as a Program EIR and a Project EIR in one document. The overall
Sepulveda/Rosecrans Site Rezoning project is analyzed at a"program level," in accordance with
the requirements of CEQA. Since there are a number of factors that could not be studied in
5
138
sufficient detail to conduct a "project level" review of the entire proposed 850,000 square foot
project, the Program EIR included a review of the issues that could be fully addressed, and
establishes a mechanism, called Subsequent Environmental Documentation,for determining what
additional information will have to be provided and studied in order for a "project level" review
to be conducted.
However, all of the environmental conditions associated with the Plaza EI Segundo developments
project could be analyzed. Therefore, a"project level"review was prepared for that portion of the
Sepulveda/Rosecrans Site Rezoning.
The FEIR also included an analysis of alternatives to the proposed Sepulveda/Rosecrans site
rezoning and Plaza El Segundo development projects. The alternatives include a No Project
Alternative, a Reduced Traffic Generation Commercial Alternative, and an Alternative Land Use
(Industrial) Alternative. For the Sepulveda/Rosecrans site rezoning, an additional rezoning of the
Plaza El Segundo Development Site Only Alternative is also included in the Draft EIR. The City
Council adopted the Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative. The Reduced Traffic Generation
Alternative placed a trip cap on the project. The trip cap limits the number of project generated
vehicle trips and ensures that no matter the mix of commercial,restaurant and other uses permitted
in the C-4 Zone that are ultimately developed on the project site, the traffic .impacts would not
exceed the levels evaluated in the EIR, The City Council adopted a Statement of Overriding
Considerations on March 1, 2005 for the Sepulveda/Rosecrans Site Rezoning and Plaza El
Segundo Development Reduced Traffic Generation Alternative.
Addendum to the FEIR
The addendum to the FEIR for the revised project analyzed the proposed amendment to the Plaza
El Segundo development project that increases the size of the original 425,000 square-foot
development by a total of 92,292 square feet, for a total of 517,292 square feet. The previously
approved size for Phase 1B (The Point) studied in 2013 was 498,442 square feet. The addendum
determined that there will be no new, or substantially more severe, significant impacts than the
impacts originally identified in the FEIR. However, the previously adopted Statement of
Overriding Considerations must be readopted by the City Council stating the specific reasons why
the project's benefits outweigh its significant environmental impacts. Planning staff recommends
that the City Council make this finding and readopt the Statement of Overriding Considerations as
required by CEQA. A complete environmental analysis is provided in the attached Addendum to
the EIR, which includes the adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program(Exhibit 3).
IV. RECOMMENDATION
Planning Staff recommends that the Council introduce an Ordinance for Development Agreement
No. 17-01 and Zone Text Amendment No. ZTA 17-02; schedule second reading and adoption of
the Ordinance for October 3, 2017; and adopt Resolution No. , approving a) an Addendum to
an FEIR for Environmental Assessment No. EA-1185 and b) modifications to conditions of
approval for the Plaza El Segundo and The Point development project; and/or alternatively,discuss
and take other possible action related to this item.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4 OF TITLE 5 OF THE EL
SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING STORM WATER AND
URBAN RUNOFF POLLUTION CONTROL, IN ITS ENTIRETY; AND
AMENDING CHAPTER 7 OF TITLE 5 OF THE EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL
CODE REGARDING PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION, IN ITS ENTIRETY.
The City Council of the City of EI Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1387; "Clean
Water Act" or "CWA"), as implemented by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), requires that the city adopt
plans and programs for stormwater quality management;
B. The 1972 amendments to the CWA prohibit the discharge of any Pollutant
to waters of the United States from a point source unless the discharge is
authorized by a permit issued pursuant to the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System ("NPDES") required by 33 U.S.C. § 1342;
C. Municipal separate storm sewer systems ("MS4s") which convey urban
runoff, including, without limitation, Storm Water runoff, are within the
definition of point sources under the CWA;
D. Pursuant to the CWA, the EPA defined the term "Municipal separate storm
sewer system" to mean a conveyance, or system of conveyances,
including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, curbs, gutters,
catch basins, and storm drains owned or operated by a city, used for
collecting Storm Water;
E. 33 U.S.C. §§ 1342(p) requires that the City obtain a permit for storm water
and urban discharges through the City's MS4;
F. 33 U.S.C. §§ 1342(p) further provides that NPDES permits will require
controls to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent
practicable, including management practices and such other provisions as
may be appropriate for the control of pollutants;
G. The EPA, in partial implementation of 33 U.S.C. §§ 1342(p) adopted final
rules, known as the "Phase I and Phase II Storm Water Regulations" at
several places in Parts 9, 122, 123, and 124 of Title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations ("CFR");

141
K In partial implementation of 33 U.S.C. §§ 1342, the Phase I and Phase II
Storm Water Regulations and the California Water Code, RWQCB-LA
issued "Order No. R4-2012-0175 NPDES Permit No. CAS004001 Waste
Discharge Requirements For Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System
(MS4) Discharges Within The Coastal Watersheds Of Los Angeles
County, Except Those Discharges Originating From The City Of Long
Beach MS4" on November 8, 2012 to cities in Los Angeles County,
including the City of EI Segundo;
I. The City of EI Segundo is a permittee under the RWQCB-LA's NPDES
Permit No. CAS004001, and therefore is required by federal and state law
to implement all requirements of the Permit;
J. Under the California Constitution and the California Government Code, the
City of EI Segundo has authority to define public nuisances and to protect
the public health and safety of the residents of and visitors to the City of EI
Segundo, and the environment, by abating public nuisances;
K. The City of EI Segundo has authority under the California Water Code to
adopt and enforce ordinances imposing conditions, restrictions, and
limitations with respect to any activity which might degrade the quality of
waters of the state;
L. The City Council is obligated to take prudent steps to protect the City's
property and its funds and taxpayers from exposure to liability, including
the potentially enormous costs of litigation regarding natural resources
allegedly damaged by pollutants allegedly transported through the City's
storm drain system;
M. This Ordinance is categorically exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.;
"CEQA"), CEQA regulations (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, §§ 15000, et seq.)
and the City's Environmental Guidelines (City Council Resolution No.
3805, adopted March 16, 1993) since its adoption would generally
implement measures to protect the environment. Accordingly, §§ 15301
(Class 1), 15304 (Class 4), 15305 (Class 5), 15307 (Class 7), 15308
(Class 8), 15309 (Class 9), and 15321 (Class 21) of the CEQA regulations
exempt the Ordinance from further environmental review.
N. The City Council has carefully considered the Ordinance and finds that it
complies with the requirements of applicable federal and state law, and
further that it provides an acceptable program for the conservation of
water resources within the City of EI Segundo and protection of the health,
safety, and general welfare of its citizens.

SECTION 2: Chapter 4 of Title 5 of the EI Segundo Municipal Code ("ESMC") is
amended in its entirety to read as indicated in Attachment A.
SECTION 3: Chapter 7 of Title 5 of the EI Segundo Municipal Code ("ESMC") is
amended in its entirety to read as indicated in Attachment B.
SECTION 4: Repeal or amendment of any provision of the ESMC will not affect any
penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of
penalties for any violation occurring; before this Ordinance' s effective date. Any such
repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting
violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 5: If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court
of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the
effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions
of this Ordinance are severable.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Local Election Must be Consolidated with Statewide Election no later than 2022
On September 1, 2015, Governor Brown signed into law Senate Bill No. 415 (Hueso) ("SB
415") regarding consolidation of municipal elections with statewide elections. Commencing
January 1, 2018, SB 415 prohibits certain political subdivisions, as defined, from holding an
election other than on a statewide election date. SB 415 requires political subdivisions to
compare the voter turnout in the political subdivision's regularly scheduled election to the voter
turnout within the political subdivision for the previous four statewide general elections. If the
12
1
172
voter turnout for political subdivision's regularly scheduled election is at least 25% less than the
average voter turnout within the political subdivision for the previous four statewide general
elections, then the political subdivision must consolidate its election with the state.
The voter participation (Voter Turnout) rates for the City of El Segundo for the past four
statewide general elections (Los Angeles County) in November and four stand alone-
municipal elections (City of El Segundo) in April are below:
ELECTION YEAR STATEWIDE ELECTION MUNICIPAL ELECTION
2010 63.78% 22.13%
2012 80.91% 32.84%
2014 41.12% 29.17%
2016 80.40% 33.49%
The City of El Segundo's average voter turnout for the previous four statewide elections was
66.55%, while the voter turnout for the most recent municipal stand-alone elections was 33.49%.
Although the law does not specify which municipal election is to be compared with the statewide
general elections, if we compare the most recent City Elections the difference exceeds 25% in
voter turnout. Thus, that the new law applies to the City of El Segundo.
Because the new law applies to the City, the issue is whether to consolidate with a statewide
election sooner or later. If, by January 1, 2018, the City adopts a plan to consolidate future
elections with a statewide election not later than the November 8, 2022 statewide general
election, then the City may continue its current practice of holding elections on non-statewide
election dates until the plan is adopted. In other words, if it adopts such a plan, the City may
continue its current practice of holding City elections in April through 2020.
RECOMMENDATION:
At the July 181h , 2017 City Council Meeting Staff recommended the City Council consolidate
with Los Angeles County Statewide Elections in November 2018 for various reason. Staff
provided other options for the City Council to consider. Council voted to have staff bring back
two draft Ordinances for consideration to consolidate with the Statewide November even year
elections in either 2020 or 2022.
At the September 5'h , 2017 City Council Meeting the City Council introduced an Ordinance to
consolidate with the Statewide June elections in 2022.
The Council may waive the second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1557. If adopted, the
Ordinance will become effective on the thirty—first day following its passage and adoption.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City Council finds that the Ordinance does not have the potential to cause significant effects
on the environment and, therefore, the project is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3). The proposed Ordinance
would amend the El Segundo Municipal Code as far as timing of the City's election, and it can
be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance will have a significant effect
on the environment.

ORDINANCE NO. 1557
AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE DATE OF THE CITY'S
GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION TO THE FIRST TUESDAY
AFTER THE FIRST MONDAY IN JUNE OF EVEN-NUMBERED
YEARS BEGINNING IN JUNE 2022; AMENDING TITLE 1 OF THE
EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE AND REQUESTING
CONSOLIDATION WITH LOS ANGELES COUNTY PURSUANT
TO ELECTIONS CODE SECTION 10403.
The City Council of the City of EI Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1 : The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. The general municipal elections for the City of EI Segundo are currently held
the second Tuesday of April in each even-numbered year;
B. Government Code § 14052 prohibits a city from holding an election other
than on a statewide election date, if holding an election on a non-concurrent
date has previously resulted in voter turnout for a regularly scheduled
election in that city, being at least 25% less than the average voter turnout
within the city for the previous four statewide general elections;
C. The City did not meet the qualifying criteria to continue to conduct stand-
alone elections and is legally required to move its elections to the date of
the statewide general election;
D. The City desires to change its municipal election to the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in June 2022, an established election date listed in
Elections Code § 1000 and the date of the statewide general election;
E. In order to accomplish the change in election date, the term of City Council
Members elected in April 2018, who would otherwise be up for election in
April 2022, would be extended to June 2022.
SECTION 2: Environmental Assessment. Adoption of the proposed Ordinance is
statutorily exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental
Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§21000, et seq., "CEQX) and CEQA
Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq.), because the proposed
Ordinance would amend the EI Segundo Municipal Code as far as timing of the City's
election, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance
will have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 3: ESMC Title 1 (Administration and Personnel) is amended to add the
following new chapter and section as follows:
Chapter 4A: ELECTIONS.
174
Section 1-4A-1: Beginning in June 2022, general municipal elections for the

the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June in each even-numbered
year.
SECTION 4: Adjustment of Terms of Office. In accordance with Elections Code §§ 1301
and 10403.5(d), due to the change of election date, the terms of office of those members
of the City Council elected in April 2018, whose terms would previously have expired in
April 2022, will instead expire at the next regularly scheduled Council meeting after receipt
of the certification of the results of the June 2022 General Municipal Election and
administration of oaths of office.
SECTION 5: Consolidated Election. Pursuant to Elections Code § 1301, the City Council
requests the County of Los Angeles approve consolidation of the City's June City Council
election with the statewide general election conducted by the County in June of each
even-numbered year.
SECTION 6: Notice to Voters. Pursuant to Elections Code § 10403.5, within 30 days after
this Ordinance becomes operative, the City Clerk must cause a notice to be mailed to all
registered voters of the City of EI Segundo (pursuant to the last report of registration by
the County Clerk to the Secretary of State) informing the voters of the change in the
election date. The notice must also inform the voters that as a result in the change in
election date, elected city officeholders' terms in office will be changed.
SECTION 7: Date of the First City Council Election in June. If this Ordinance becomes
effective, the first City Council election to be held in June will be June 2022.
SECTION 8: Request to the County. The City Clerk is directed to forward, without delay,
a certified copy of this Ordinance to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and
the County Election Department. The ordinance will become operative once the City's
request is officially approved by the Board of Supervisors.
SECTION 9: Construction. This ordinance must be broadly construed in order to achieve
the purposes stated in this ordinance. It is the City Council's intent that the provisions of
this ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that
facilitates the purposes set forth in this ordinance.
SECTION 10: Severability. If any part of this ordinance or its application is deemed
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity
will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this
end, the provisions of this ordinance are severable.

ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of EI Segundo's book of original ordinances;

FIRE DEPARTMENT
#10 -Bound Tree Medical, Inc.
The El Segundo Fire Department has been purchasing and storing paramedic medical supplies
since 1998 as mandated by the County of Los Angeles, Emergency Medical Services Agency.
For eight years, the Fire Department utilized Bound Tree for paramedic medical supplies through
a piggyback on an existing competitively bid award. In 2005, staff recommended a change in
vendors due to supply availability issues and billing problems. Since that time, Bound Tree has
significantly improved its service and has streamlined their ordering process which is integrated
with the Department's internal process. In addition to favorable pricing and timely deliveries,
Bound Tree has since expanded their inventory and offers a full range of pharmaceutical supplies
which allows the Fire Department to consolidate these types of purchases and receive better pricing
with a single vendor.
The El Segundo Fire Department recommends that the City Council waive the formal bidding
process per El Segundo Municipal Code §1-7-10 to purchase medical and pharmaceutical supplies,
and piggyback on the formal,competitive bid used by the City of El Cajon. Account number: 001-
400-3203-5204 in the amount of$40,000 for FY 2017-2018 (General Fund).

PUBLIC WORKS
#15- Fuel for Citv Vehicles and Eauinment
Generally, fuel is purchased either through spot market purchases or long-term contracts. Spot
purchasing consists of shopping around each time fuel is needed and purchasing fuel from the
lowest priced vendor. This type of purchasing usually occurs when the fuel market is volatile as
it has been for the last three years. During periods of stability, agencies enter into long-term fuel
contracts. Pricing under long-term contact is tied to a published fuel price baseline plus a
183
markup. The volatility in the market has forced vendors to significantly raise this markup,making
long-term contracts unattractive. Under the City's last long-term contract through Los Angeles
Metropolitan Public Purchasing Agents' Cooperative (LAMPPAC), there was virtually no
markup. When that contract expired in September 2005, the fuel market was quite volatile and
City Council authorized staff to purchase gasoline and diesel fuel through the use of spot market
purchases.
Many agencies including Cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Hawthorne have opted
to purchase fuel through spot purchases in lieu of entering into long-term contracts since the
expiration of the LAMPPAC contract. Staff continuously monitors long-term contracts available
in the industry.
Pursuant to El Segundo Municipal Code(ESMC) § 1-7-10,relating to purchases and supplies,the
City Council may at any time, by a majority vote and without amending the ESMC, waive
purchasing procedures or alter proceedings to fit a specific purchase, when the waiver is not in
violation of State law. Spot purchasing is the sort of modified purchasing arrangement that
requires such a waiver by Council. It is possible that the total of purchases from any one vendor
may exceed $25,000; therefore, Council approval of spot purchasing is requested. The City is
budgeting $315,000 for Fiscal Year 2017-2018 in accounts:
001-400-4601-5215 in the amount of$250,000 (General Fund)
109-400-3105-5215 in the amount of$13,000 (Police - Asset Forfeiture Fund)
112-400-5292-5215 in the amount of$30,000 (Prop "A" Fund)
501-400-7102-5215 in the amount of$9,000 (Water Enterprise Fund)
502-400-4301-5215 in the amount of$13,000 (Wastewater (sewer) Enterprise Fund)
416 -Water Meters—Metron Farnier
The City's water distribution system includes over 4,000 water meters. The Water division has
installed Automatic Meter Readers (AMR) on small scale over the course of several years as it
conducted trials. The Public Works Department completed its first major phase of the AMR meter
Conversion Program in FY2016-17 to replace 546 aging water meters in the City's commercial
sector. Over the next several years, two additional phases will be implemented to complete the
City's entire AMR meter conversion. Meanwhile, the water division will replace aging meters
with new AMR meters as part of their maintenance efforts. The cost to replace each meter ranges
from $250 to $5,000, dependent upon size.
Staff plans to continue replacing failing meters in FY 2017-2018 and recommends continuing to
purchase meters from Metron Farnier, the vendor chosen previously for the AMR meters, in an
amount not to exceed $100,000 in total. Account number: 501-400-7201-5207 (Water Enterprise
Fund).
#17-Asphalt Paine Materials—Blue Diamond Materials
The Street Maintenance Division repairs approximately 50,000 square feet of pavement annually.
Pavement repair work includes potholes, pavement failures, repairs from tree root damage, utility
cuts, general street repairs throughout the City and preparation for slurry seal projects. Through
the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 budget process, $30,000 was budgeted for the annual expenditure of
asphalt paving materials.
184
Street Maintenance Division personnel drive a City dump truck to retrieve asphalt paving
materials. There are three local vendors that supply the materials.
C-2 Asphalt
Location Miles from City Concrete/Ton
All American Asphalt Westminster 27 $65.00
Blue Diamond Inglewood & Southgate 5 & 17 $67.00
Materials
Vulcan Materials Los Angeles 19 $79.00
Pricing for asphalt paving materials is variable and dependent upon the oil and aggregate
market. The pricing for asphalt concrete in the table above was based on a spot market quote on
September 25, 2017.
Staff recommends continuing the purchase or asphalt paving materials from Blue Diamond
Materials, on a single-source basis, in an amount not to exceed$30,000 for the following reasons:
1. Closer proximity to City reduces staff driving time, fuel and liability
2. Availability of materials—two locations
3. Lowest overall cost when factoring in travel time costs and staff downtime
4. Reduced temperature loss from being transported shorter distances
At this time,Blue Diamond Materials is the more reasonable choice based upon pricing,proximity
and availability. Staff will continue to monitor asphalt concrete prices and return to Council if a
change in vendors is warranted. Account number: 001-400-4202-5204 (General Fund).

Additional Appropriation: N/A
Account Number(s): N/A
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal: 4(a) El Segundo's infrastructure supports an appealing, safe, and
effective City
Objective: 1 The City optimizes its physical resources
ORIGINATED BY: Bill Whalen, Chief of Polic
REVIEWED BY: Bill Whalen,Chief of Police
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager.,
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The City has received an increasing number of complaints from community members surrounding
the area of Clutter's Park, located at the intersection of Sheldon Street /Imperial Avenue. On
August 21, 2017, staff facilitated a community meeting with residents from the area surrounding
Clutter's Park. The meeting was well attended with over 30 El Segundo residents in attendance.
During this meeting, the following community concerns were noted:
1. Persons attracted to Clutter's Park will drive into adjacent and darkened residential areas
to engage in illicit and/or inappropriate behavior
2. Persons visiting Clutter's Park and working at/traveling to Los Angeles World Airport
(LAWA) will park in adjacent residential neighborhoods, thereby causing a decrease in
available residential parking
14
189
3. Trash is being left in and around Clutter's Park as well as the surrounding community
4. Employees of LAWA litter while walking to/from work and/or while loitering near their
vehicles
5. Travelers to LAWA park in the area surrounding Clutter's park and use a ride sharing
service to be dropped off at the airport
The Police Department has taken the lead in attempting to address the concerns expressed by
community members. Since this August 21"meeting, over 80 security checks have been done in
and around the Clutter's Park area to include Sheldon Street, in an attempt to corroborate
allegations of criminal misconduct. These patrols included both marked patrol units and
undercover officers. In none of these cases was criminal activity noted. A lighting trailer was
deployed to the area to further deter those wishing to engage in criminal conduct.
In one instance a vehicle was towed for violation of the City of El Segundo 72 hour parking
ordinance. The driver later admitted they had parked in El Segundo and took a ride share to
LAWA.
During these daytime security checks, persons who were reporting to or coming from work at
LAWA were contacted. The companies these persons work for were noted and this information
was given to representatives from LAWA during a joint problem solving meeting on September
21, 2017. As a result of this meeting, LAWA will be looking at alternatives to LAWA employee
parking in the El Segundo community.
El Segundo Police Officers have conducted registration checks at different times/days in an effort
to ascertain whether vehicles parked on the 900 block of Sheldon Street belong to residents who
live on Sheldon Street. The results are as follows:
• August 17, 2017/12:00 a.m. (Thursday)—27 cars parked on Sheldon Street
o 14 registered to addresses on Sheldon Street
o 4 registered to other addresses in El Segundo
o 9 registered out of the City
• August 18, 2017/9:00 a.m. (Friday)—7 cars parked on Sheldon Street
o 2 registered to addresses on Sheldon Street
o 5 registered out of the City
• August 29, 2017/4:40 p.m. (Tuesday) —20 cars parked on Sheldon Street
o 8 registered to addresses on Sheldon Street
o 2 registered to other addresses in El Segundo
o 8 registered out of the City (2 appeared related to home construction site)
o 2 registered out of the State
The Police Department continues to take a high visibility posture at Clutter's Park as well as the
community in and around Clutter's Park. In addition to the Police Department,both the Recreation
and Parks Department and Public Works Department have been actively engaged in this
overarching effort to improve the quality of life in the impacted area. The following are additional
efforts that have been undertaken:
1. Trash pick-up from City installed park trash cans has been increased
2. Vegetation and trash clean-up has been conducted on the hillside adjacent to the Park
190
3. The red curb on Imperial Avenue, across from the D.R. Horton construction project has
been removed (painted grey) to allow for additional street parking on Imperial Avenue
4. The traffic safety committee is evaluating a request for a stop sign at the intersection of
Sheldon Street/Walnut Avenue
5. Estimates are being gathered for a fence installation between the Dog Park and the Pump
Station in an effort to reduce pedestrian traffic
During the community meeting on August 21, 2017, the process for obtaining a preferential
parking zone was explained to those in attendance. By ordinance, this request must be initiated
from the impacted community with 55% of those living in the community supporting the request.
To date, there have been no requests from the community for a preferential parking zone.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends the City Council receive and file this report. Alternatively, the City Council
could direct staff to investigate additional actions to mitigate the concerns expressed by the
community in and around Clutter's Park. These additional actions could include(but aren't limited
to):
1. Decommission Clutter's Park
2. Restrict the view(via wall construction, tree planting, or other means)
3. Further restrict parking through the installation of"No Parking" signs or parking meters
4. Roadway modifications
