BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
For the past six months, the Downtown Committee comprised of local business merchants has been
meeting regularly to identify key actions for improving the downtown area. The top three action items were
identified to be: (1) landscape renovation, (2) address the hanging basket poles, and (3) routine landscape
maintenance. To that end, the Parks Division presented a variety of plants, trees and shrubs best suited for
the Downtown planters, and the committee voted to approve the final landscape palette. Following City
Council approval on December 19, 2017, the purchase and installation of new plant material began in
January and is currently in progress.
10
The downtown area planters are those that exist on Main Street between El Segundo Blvd. and Mariposa
Ave, on Richmond Street between El Segundo Blvd. and Holly Ave., and on Grand Ave. between
Eucalyptus Drive and Concord Street, as well as two City parking lots at Franklin/Richmond and
Main/Mariposa.
Under the current staffing levels, the Parks Division currently allocates approximately ten man hours per
week to the landscaped planters within the Downtown corridor. The area is assigned to two part-time Park
Maintenance Workers who are also responsible for landscape maintenance at the Civic Center grounds,
Holly Valley Park, Holly Kansas Park, Washington Park Playground and Camp Eucalyptus. Additionally,
all Park Maintenance Workers are occasionally delegated special assignments as needed, which could
include special event assistance, inter -departmental assistance, high urgency projects (i.e. irrigation repair),
or special projects (i.e. landscape renovation).
The Downtown Committee indicated the third top priority in improving the area is routine maintenance.
The level of care that is needed and expected to properly care for the new plant material and ensure the
planters are clean and manicured requires much more time than is currently allocated in the Parks Division
work program. Proper routine maintenance would include daily attention for litter control,
sweeping/blowing sidewalks free of debris, removing dead or diseased plants, planting new plants in
vacant areas, regular trimming and pruning, irrigation checks and repairs, and replenishing mulch.
The current work program will not allow enough time to be allocated to the Downtown planters to obtain
the desired quality without reducing maintenance functions in other areas such as ballfield maintenance and
preparation, playground maintenance, trash collection, special event assistance, or hardscape/sports court
cleaning. Over the past several years the landscaped areas within the City have expanded while Department
staffing levels have decreased. This has required the Department to contract out maintenance services for
the increased areas of responsibility.
The City's current landscape maintenance contractor is LandCare USA. The approved contract amount for
FY 17/18 is $181,000 and covers approximately 25 different locations throughout the City. LandCare has
provided a quote for routine maintenance services in the Downtown planters. The proposal for $57,540
annually includes one worker Monday through Friday from 6:00am to 2:30pm, 40 hours per week, solely
dedicated to the Downtown area landscape. The funds were budgeted for and approved in the FY17/18
budget.

PREPARED BY: Gregg McClain, Planning Manage
REVIEWED BY: Sam Lee, Planning and Building Safety hecto
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager �� 4c (kC.
Last summer Staff submitted an application for grant funding for purposes of studying how to
increase the use of mass transit by potentially developing high density residential projects (which
may include affordable/low income housing) and denser commercial building, altering the
configuration of the large aerospace companies, and reconfiguring streets and sidewalks around
the Green Line stations located east of Sepulveda. The application has been tentatively approved
and will potentially be approved by the MTA Board on March 1 st.
Staff wanted to provide this information to the Council so that they could begin discussing the
merits of whether to accept the MTA grant. Recognizing that the issue of potentially developing
housing east of Sepulveda is important to our residents and businesses. Staff wanted to discuss
12
whether the Council wants to proceed with this issue and, if so, is this is the methodology that we
want to use to study the issue. By using MTA funds the City has to use MTA's transportation
related criteria as well as whatever other criteria the City finds appropriate for assessing whether
and what type of housing the City may or may not want built east of Sepulveda. A large part of
the specific plan's focus will be on transportation -related issues such as housing and commercial
development located near transit hubs.
The application provides that the study of these issues will be done from a "bottom up"
approach. Staff will work with various community stakeholders in addition to elected and
appointed City officials to determine the City's needs. Staff feels this will provide a more grass
roots process to determine how to best serve the housing, work and transportation needs of
individuals of all socio-economic groups and provide more equitable opportunities for people in
the community.
The City Attorney's Office indicated that they have just begun its review of the grant application
and the legal implications of accepting the grant and will attempt to be ready at the Council
Meeting to provide some assessment of the legal issues.

I. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
TOD Planning Grant: Background
Los Angeles County is experiencing a transformational expansion of the public
transit system that will dramatically change the options and opportunities that
people traveling to, from, or through Los Angeles County will have to get around.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has a
vested interest in planning and investment efforts around transit stations that create
an environment that promotes, encourages, and supports transit riders and the
interface between public transportation and surrounding communities.
As a result, in 2011 Metro created the TOD Planning Grant Program (Program), a
competitive grant program that funds local governments to develop and adopt transit
supportive regulations that promote equitable, sustainable, transit -supportive planning.
Transit -supportive places are places where the presence of effective and predictable
transit can be enhanced through appropriate patterns and types of development.
This can be achieved through practices such as community -scaled density, diverse
land use mix, reduced reliance upon private automobiles, and enhanced
infrastructure for pedestrians, bicyclists and people of all ages and abilities.
Between 2011 and 2016, Metro released four (4) rounds of the TOD Planning Grant,
and awarded $21.6 million in 35 grants, to 30 cities across LA County.
Iri103a.FTii1fT[elFi WI-04=1IW
Transit Supportive Planning Toolkit
In 2016, Metro released the Transit Supportive Planning Toolkit (Toolkit). Funded by
a grant from the Strategic Growth Council, and as part of a broader study on Climate
Change Adaption Strategies, the Toolkit is a comprehensive research -based
resource that includes best practices, tools and case studies that local municipalities
can use to advance Transit Supportive Planning in Los Angeles County. The Toolkit
identifies 10 characteristics of transit supportive places that collectively are shown to
reduce vehicle miles traveled and increase transit ridership (see Attachment A for
brief overview). Round 5 of the TOD Planning Grant will require grantees to utilize
the Toolkit as a resource and apply the 10 characteristics of transit supportive
planning in grant funded efforts. The Toolkit is a web -based program that can be
found on Metro's website at https://www,metro.net/proiects/tod-toolkit/
Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Pilot Program
In 2011, the California State legislature abolished redevelopment and the state's only
effective TIF vehicle. Since then, the legislature has created new enabling legislation
to support tax increment financing (TIF). Unlike redevelopment, the new TIF
programs (EIFDs & CRIAs) cannot include property taxes from education entities
(approximately'/2 of all property taxes). Property tax contributions from the other
taxing entities are voluntary. TIF can be an important tool in the creation of transit
Transit Oriented Development Planning Grant Program Page 2
15
supportive communities, as it can be used to finance infrastructure improvements as
well as affordable housing. With Round 5 of the TOD Planning Grant program, Metro
is partnering with SCAG to offer funding to municipalities seeking to study the
feasibility of forming TIF districts (Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD),,
Community Revitalization and Investment Authority (CRIA), or similar TIF program.
Study funding may be available to examine areas around transit stations for
municipalities that:
• Have adopted or are in progress with creating a transit supportive regulatory
environment; and
• As applicable, measure favorably against the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) online Screening Criteria that can be
found at EIFD/CRIA Technical Assistance Tool.
As a partner in this effort, SCAG will provide training on the formation and
study of the EIFD and CRIA districts as well as use of their TIF screening
tool. The County of Los Angeles will provide support by providing updated
and accurate tax assessment and collection information.
I I . PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
• Support municipalities in implementing complimentary transit -supportive
infrastructure projects and affordable housing.
• Increase transit ridership.
• Increase the number of comprehensive, community -driven transit supportive
planning efforts around Metro light rail, Metrolink stations, and Metro
Transitway/Bus Rapid Transit stations and adjacent transit corridors in Los
Angeles County.
• Improve local and regional efforts that enhance an equitable integration of
transportation and community planning.
• Improve the transit network and increase utilization of public transit by reducing the
number of modes of transportation necessary to access regional and local transit
lines;
• Further the reduction in greenhouse gases through encouraging in -fill development
along transit corridors and transit use;
• Support and implement sustainable development principles.
• Increase opportunities to meaningfully engage diverse stakeholders, especially
underserved and vulnerable communities, in advancing transit supportive
planning efforts across the region.
OL ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS
Transit Oriented Development Planning Grant Program Page 3
16
Cities and the County of Los Angeles with land use regulatory authority:
Within 1/2 mile of Metro Light Rail, Metrolink Stations and/or Transitway/Bus Rapid
Transit stations and adjacent transit corridors in Los Angeles County; and
Within 1/2 mile of the existing, funded, planned (priority will be given to station area
planning efforts that are nearer -term) Metro rail or bus rapid transit stations and/or
adjacent transit corridors. Grantees are not required to focus on a circular 1/2
mile radius around a transit facility. Adjacent transit corridors refer to proposed
planning areas that are less circular and more corridor -based. Grantees must
make the case for the corridor -level approach.
Applicants seeking funds along transit corridors MUST demonstrate the corridor's
relevancy to the development of transit supportive planning around the station area.
The corridor may, for example, connect the station area to significant activity
centers, carry significant pedestrian traffic to and from the station area, and/or
connect the station area to other areas with significant transit service.
IV. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
Round 5 of the Program offers two categories of activities: (1) Transit supportive
regulatory documents, which will result in the elimination of regulatory constraints
and the development of regulatory documents that promote transit supportive
planning that can be adopted by governing bodies; and (2) TIF Feasibility Studies,
which will study the feasibility of pursuing an EIFD., CRIA or similar TIF pro -gram
within 1/2 mile of Metro Light Rail, Metrolink Stations and/orTransitway/Bus Rapid
Transit stations and adjacent transit corridors in Los Angeles County, create a
vision/objectives for such a district, and determine the amount of TIF that could be
generated under several scenarios. Applicants may apply to one or both of the
categories; however, the TIF feasibility study requires that transit supportive land use
regulations are already in place or under development, so an applicant cannot apply
for the regulatory change and TIF feasibility study in the same area at the same time.
Robust and inclusive multilingual community engagement shall be an integral
component of all Metro -funded planning efforts.
Transit Supportive Re ulato Documents
Regulatory documents must include a land use component (with corresponding
zoning code updates). However, Applicants and Grantees are required to advance
comprehensive plans that encompass the 10 Toolkit characteristics to ensure that the
region is advancing holistic, transit supportive plans. Additionally, plans must be
consistent with Metro adjacent development requirements as defined in Section
VIII. Eligible Regulatory Documents include, but are not limited to.-
New
o:
New or amended specific plans;
New or amended ordinances;
New or amended overlay zones;
Transit Oriented Development Planning Grant Program Page 4
17
New or amended general plans;
Transit Village Development Districts; and
Environmental studies required to support the new or amended regulatory
documents.
TIF Feasibility Studies
Through the TOC TIF Pilot, Round 5 of the Program will fund TIF Feasibility
Studies. Grantees may explore the formation of an Enhanced Infrastructure
Financing District (EIFD)s a Community Revitalization Investment Authority (CRIA),
or other comparable TIF programs, including engaging with stakeholders to
determine vision and objectives for a TIF district. The Round 5 Grant application
includes a sample scope of work for such studies to provide guidance on eligible
activities.
To be eligible, Grantees must (1) demonstrate that a transit supportive regulatory
document is in place or under development; (2) show eligibility for a TIF districts
(EIFD, CRIA� or similar) using the SCAG TIF Screening Criteria (as applicable);
(3) meet the criteria for TIF formation adopted by the County Board of Supervisors
in spring 2017, included as Attachment B; and (4) Priority will be given to the most
Disadvantaged Communities as defined by CalEnvironScreen.
V. EVALUATION CRITERIA
Proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria. The first section
applies to regulatory documents (Specific Plans, General Plan Amendments,
Overlays, etc.), the second set of criteria apply to TIF Feasibility Studies. More
detailed scoring criteria are provided in the grant application.

TOC TIF Feasibility Studies Criteria
Applicants seeking funding for TIF Feasibility Studies must utilize SCAG's
Screening Criteria available at EIFD/CRIA Technical Assistance Tool to assess
TIF District viability and grant program eligibility. SCAG will offer training on this
tool as well as technical assistance to applicants. TIF Feasibility Study
applications will require data collection from the City, SCAG, the County
Assessor, the County Auditor -Controller and, as appropriate, the State
Department of Finance.
Transit Oriented Development Planning Grant Program Page 7
WE
A. Screening Criteria
Applicants are required to perform an initial screening of their proposed TIF
district in order to ensure that the feasibility study is for an area that meets the
State's legal requirements and also that has the capacity to generate enough
investment and TIF to create the desired impacts. For EIFDs and CRIAs, the TOC
TIF grant application will include questions that closely align with the SCAG
screening criteria. Interested parties will be required to advise on how their
proposed project fares against the screening criteria. The SCAG Screening
Criteria will be critical to vetting applications and informing on potential project
viability. The screening criteria will be discussed further in a pre -application
workshop. An overview is provided below.
1: EIFD/CRIA Successor Agency Prerequisites
Clear description of any former redevelopment project areas that overlap with
the proposed TIF project boundaries.
If overlap exists, a Receipt of Finding of Completion must be secured from
the Department of Finance and submitted along with grant application.
Provide detailed overview of current ROPS obligations (include most recent
report submitted to the Department of Finance) and whether the City is
producing residual revenues that could be applied toward the EIFD/CRIA.
Lack of residual revenues post -dissolution could disqualify a proposed area for
lack of property taxes if they are pledged to repay the debts of the former CRA
in the foreseeable future.
Resource: City to obtain from the State Department of Finance and City
Finance Department
2: Economic Development Potential
Demonstrated potential for economic development and therefore, a financially
viable TIF district. This can be demonstrated by identifying underutilized
and/or publicly owned parcels, planned projects, and looking at changes in
parcel values over time:
• Identify underutilized and/or publicly held properties and planned projects
within the study area.
Clearly describe existing parcel values within the potential project area(s) and
any significant changes over time (past 5-15 years).
■ Clear demarcation and description (size, location, zoning, current use,
obligation status) of publicly held properties within the potential TIF district that
can be leveraged for economic development purposes.
Resource. SCAG GIS Land Use Data and Parcel Data (Screening Sitel)
3. Current Zoning and Density in Project Area
Transit Oriented Development Planning Grant Program Page 8

■ Clear description of the adopted or in -progress transit supportive regulatory
document (Specific Plan, Overlay, etc.) with adoption date. Including:
• The current or proposed zoning and General Plan principles and how they
align with the 10 elements of the Transit Supportive Toolkit.
■ The nexus with the transportation network,
■ Clear description of regulatory principles that lend themselves to TIF district
formation (infrastructure, economic development, sustainability, affordable
housing, etc.).
• Whether an updated environmental clearance would be required.
Resource: City documents and SCAG GIS data (including General plan,
Specific Plans, existing land uses).
4: Project Location and Infrastructure Needs
Proposals must demonstrate a strong and compelling nexus to public
transportation and how project implementation will advance accessibility,
integration, and usability of the public transportation system. This can be
demonstrated by:
Half -mile from a Metro Light Rail Station, Metrolink Station, and Metro
Transitway/Bus Rapid Transit stations and adjacent transit corridors.
• Description the infrastructure needs such as bike and pedestrian
improvements with map(s) that shows the project area, transit network,
and 'infrastructure need' areas. Data should be gathered from the Metro
Active Transportation Strategic Plan.
■ Clear description of how a TIF district could improve infrastructure needs,
improved connectivity to public transportation, district -scale sustainable
infrastructure improvements, and encourage redevelopment of
underutilized properties.
Resource: SCAG GIS data, HQTA/TPP/ TPA maps, City documents
5: Potential Infrastructure Financing Solutions
• Using SCAG's Screening Criteria, Projects must demonstrate a Tax
Increment Capture Rate of 15 cents (.15) for every dollar ($1) for the
Project Area. Taxing entity proportional shares should be current
(redevelopment era shares were pre-ERAF) and come from County
Auditor -Controller.
Clear demonstration of project area viability to secure grant funding to
advance early implementation of TIF District activities, such as location in a
disadvantaged community, other demographic data, safety statistics, etc.

disadvantaged community (based on geographic, socioeconomic, public
health, environmental factors).
Resource: SCAG Socioeconomic Data, GIS Data, including
Disadvantaged Community Maps
B. Project Description and Stakeholder Engagement
Section 1: Project Description
• While a specific, defined boundary for the TIF district would be determined
through the feasibility study, applicant must offer a clear, concise description
of the targeted geographic area under consideration, the transit station(s)
within the area, and the kinds of projects/programs that would be funded if a
TIF district were in place
• The application must describe how it has positioned itself to advance a
successful TIF district and transit supportive investments, through regulatory
plan adoption or proposed plan under development, economic development
efforts, early TIF exploration, and/or securing other funding sources to
implement transit supportive projects.
• Describe how the proposed TIF district could support increased transit access
and ridership. This can be based on anticipated public improvements, new
development and community serving facilities, etc.

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) has released Round 5 of the TOD Planning Grant Program (Grant
Program) to support municipalities across LA County to advance comprehensive transit -supportive planning efforts. Metro has a vested interest
in planning efforts around transit stations that promote, encourage and support transit riders and the interface between public transportation
and surrounding communities.
Metro's Transit Supportive Planning Toolkit (Toolkit) will be the basis for how Metro will evaluate grant applications for Metro's Grant Program
and how grant -funded planning efforts are advanced, Interested parties must demonstrate how their proposed project will advance Metro's
goals of encouraging transit supportive planning efforts and increasing transit ridership. Information on the Toolkit can be found online
at metro.net/projects/tod-toolkit.
Transit supportive places are areas where the presence of effective and predictable transit can be enhanced through appropriate patterns and
types of development. This can be achieved through practices such as community -scaled density, diverse land use mix, reduced reliance upon
private automobiles, and enhanced infrastructure for pedestrians, bicyclists and people of all ages and abilities.
The following chart gives a brief description of the Toolkit's to characteristics of transit supportive places:
Metro will evaluate grant applications based on:
t) The proposed project area's existing conditions and challenges as it pertains to the to characteristics of transit supportive places.
z) How the proposed project will address and mitigate these challenges, with respect to each Toolkit characteristic and the various Toolkit
Tools and Best Practices.
Metro recommends that applicants familiarize themselves with the TOD Grant Program Guidelines and the Toolkit and use them as the 2
framework for responding to the application questions.

1. Provide a concise description of the proposed project area, targeted communities, and specific transit stations and/or
corridors the project will impact. Additionally:
a. Identify specific transit line(s), station(s) the proposed project may impact and briefly discuss their significance to
the local community and larger region's transit connectivity, access and ridership.
b. Describe the most pressing barriers to public transportation usage and non -private vehicle multi-modalism
(walking, rolling, biking, etc.).
c. Describe prominent community equity concerns (lack of affordable housing, economic development,
environmental justice, safety, active transportation needs, public health disparities, etc.).
2. Attach a proposed project area map(s) that illustrates the half -mile radius or adjacent transit corridors around the qualifying
station(s) to demonstrate project area eligibility and opportunity sites.
EI Segundo is divided into distinct quadrants separated by major thoroughfares. All the housing and civic functions in the city are
contained within the northwestern quadrant, while the southwestern quadrant is the site of the Chevron refinery. The eastern
quadrants together are the focus of the EI Segundo Transit Corridor Plan. The Corridor is a thriving employment center -- home to
major aerospace, technology and telecommunications companies. Land uses, street patterns and streetscape in the corridor were
shaped by a suburban, single -use, car -oriented development concept. The context, since the area was designed, has entirely
changed, resulting in pressing demands for new land use and transportation planning. The city faces an opportunity to build on and
continue the Corridor's success towards a new phase of its development. See Project Area maps 2A - 2K attached.
The proposed EI Segundo Transit Corridor Plan is bounded on the north by Imperial Highway, on the east by Aviation Boulevard,
on the South by Rosecrans Avenue, on the west by Sepulveda Boulevard, and is bisected by EI Segundo Boulevard into northern
and southern halves, respectively zoned commercial and industrial. White and blue collar employees, current and future residents
of the city, employers, property owners, adjoining cities and the sub -region would benefit from the project. The Corridor Specific
Plan would increase ridership for Metro buses and at four Metro Green Line Stations — Aviation, Mariposa, EI Segundo and
Douglas - that extend north -south through the Corridor.
a) The four Green Line stations, two along Nash (Mariposa and EI Segundo), one on Douglas and another just outside the city
(Aviation/LAX) together have a daily ridership of around 25,000. The bus lines in the Corridor are operated by Metro, Torrance
Transit, Culver City Bus and Big Blue Bus (see Attachment 2E Transit Routes & Stops Map). Currently, around 90% of workers in
the corridor drive to work alone. If the built environment in the Corridor provided better conditions for walking and biking, less
parking and a better range of amenities fostered by a greater variety of land uses, more employees would be able to take transit to
their jobs. Residents in EI Segundo and adjoining communities, would take better advantage of the valuable asset of Metro light rail
and bus lines to access jobs outside of the city.
b) The most pressing barriers to transit use and viability of non -car modes in the Corridor are extremely large properties with
perimeter security fencing, lack of housing, and large parking lots separating properties. Facilities including the LA Air Force Base,
Northrup Grumman, Raytheon, Boeing and nearby LAX will inevitably continue to be of high -demand by car. The high
concentration of office, industrial and institutional workers face a lack of accessible pedestrian routes to supportive uses like retail
and food. All major thoroughfares are heavily used truck routes with fast moving traffic, discouraging bikes or other rolling modes.
The only cycling infrastructure, an unprotected Class II facility, is on Imperial Highway. Active heavy -rail corridors crisscross the
southern portion of the Corridor. Streets are devoid of trees and lighting. The nearest residents to any Green Line station are over
1/2 mile away, and access to the elevated stations is encumbered by grade separation. Outdated circulation policies in the General
Plan encourage grade -separated pedestrian facilities, ignoring street -level connectivity. The Walk Score from the Metro ATSP (out
of 100) in station areas is 32 (EI Segundo), 36 (Mariposa), 52 (Douglas) and 35 (Aviation/LAX) (See Attachments 2J.1 - 2K.4).
c) The key equity issues are pollution, affordable housing, and active transportation. Proximity to several industrial and light
industrial uses, such as the refinery, as well as LAX, contribute to air and noise pollution in the city. EI Segundo is a
business -friendly city led by employment. It has a worker population of roughly 65k (LEND, 2014) and about 16.5k residents (ACS,
2016). Only about 1,700 people live and work in the city. Most workers commute from nearby South Bay cities, however 40% travel
over 25 miles. Low-income workers may be not be able to afford housing near work, as the median home sales price, roughly $1
million, is over $500k higher than the County overall (Nielson Co., 2016). The city's 7,427 housing units (ACS, 2016) are all located
in the northwestern quadrant. This area is over 1/2 mile from the Green Line stations, and there are no viable local transportation
options to access rail and bus lines without a car. The specific plan area also lacks cohesive active transportation infrastructure.
34
1. Using the io characteristics below, provide clear and specific description of the proposed project area's existing conditions
and regulatory constraints to creating an equitable transit supportive place.
_npact Design
The Specific Plan area is overwhelmingly made up of sprawling one or two story office buildings, along with some four or five
story structures, set back from roads and separated by parking lots. Major streets such as Sepulveda Boulevard feature
buildings around 20 stories tall. Structures stand as separate objects, and don't form a unified streetscape. Large private
campuses, such as Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and the Air Force, are major physical barriers.
Complete Neighborly
The specific plan area has only commercial and industrial land uses, with no housing. Beyond offices and manufacturing
facilities, there are hotels, private recreation facilities including a golf course and ice-skating center, a movie theatre, gas
stations, strip malls and shopping and dining in large, vibrant retail centers including a "lifestyle center'. All of these uses,
including dining options, are designed for access by car.
Street & Network Connectivity
Distances as long as a mile separate destinations within the Corridor. While there are sidewalks on most streets, they are
narrow and lack street trees, buffers and parkways, pedestrian lighting & shade at bus stops. There are no public pathways for
those on foot or bike through the islands of private land. Low intersection density (Metro ATSP score of 6-16 out of 100) results
in travel by car even for short distances and contributes to traffic congestion. The Green Line is an aerial alignment that creates
a barrier along Nash and Douglas streets. The heavy freight rail lines create another barrier in the southern half of the Corridor.
Site Layout, Parking Layout..8 Building Design
With few exceptions, building design in the Corridor is corporate and indistinguishable. Some recently built and planned new
buildings hold greater promise for the standard of design, but current site planning overwhelmingly features a sea of parking.
Fenced properties and buildings set far back from the curb without "eyes on the street" create an unfriendly walking
environment -- with difficult access by foot or bike and no direct connections to public transportation.
Affordable Housing
While EI Segundo has been able to meet, and plans to exceed, its "fair share" of affordable housing (according to the RHNA),
the sub -region and region overall are suffering from an acute shortage of housing. This means long and expensive commutes,
and lack of convenient access to jobs, particularly for low-income workers. In the long run, it also limits reliable access to quality
workers for employers in EI Segundo.
Commercial Stabilization, Business Retention & Expansion
Commercial stabilization measures help protect and encourage existing small, local businesses that serve the needs of
neighborhood residents. Retail needs in the Corridor are mostly served by chain stores, and current retail business stabilization
measures are only directed to Main Street, in the northwest, residential quadrant of the city. The city has a strong well
established commercial office expansion program to promote new creative, biomed, high tech, data and other businesses in the
project area and the rest of the city.
4
35
Transit Prioritization, Accessibility & Area Design
The Green Line is elevated, creating design challenges for pedestrian access to the area at grade below the stations and long
walks up stairs or use of elevators. Pedestrian and bike connectivity to the stations is seriously lacking. The Corridor's private
walkways are not geared to transit access, and distances between destinations are far. There are no dedicated bus lanes and
no transit signal prioritization. The schedule for buses serves commuters, with only sparse night and weekend service. The local
shuttle follows a circuitous fixed route, only operates on weekdays at lunch, and doesn't serve the Metro light rail stations.
Parking Management
Expanses of surface parking lots, both for corporate campuses and shopping centers, are underutilized for portions of the day
and week. Most parcels in the Corridor have their own parking lots, and there is no on street parking. Much of the land in the
Corridor is taken up by parking, reinforcing the dependence on the car with a land use that neither directly generates revenue
for the city nor serves more beneficial purposes.
id Management
The city's current TDM strategies only address parking for carpool vehicles. They do not incentivize transit passes or otherwise
offer substantive transit encouragement. The city does not yet engage in a number of regional best practices to increase transit
use.
Pedestrian & Bicycle Circulation
The city has many planned on -street bike facilities - see Attachment 21 but only one has been implemented on Imperial Hwy and
there are no off-street bike paths. Facilities for bicycles & pedestrians are inadequate, and do not constitute a viable network to
access destinations in the Corridor. There are few accommodations in the station walk shed, such as wayfinding, shade, street
trees or lighting. Sidewalks and bike riders are next to fast moving traffic, and pedestrians and cyclists have to cross very wide,
busy thoroughfares. Signalization at intersections prioritizes automobile movements over active transportation modes.
2. What existing regulatory constraints preclude the jurisdiction from addressing the equity issues identified in Section 1
Question is (above)?
The City's Land Use Element has not been updated since 1992, the Housing Element since 2009 and the Circulation Element
since 2004. Because many of these plans were adopted before widespread recognition of the importance of strong relationships
between land use and transportation, and jobs and housing, the plans do not adequately support, encourage and promote the
use of public transportation or active transportation modes. A challenge for the city in terms of equity, is the fact that existing
Green Line riders are mainly transit -dependent, low-wage workers who live far from their jobs in EI Segundo and must commute
long distances to get to work. Their needs are not addressed in the current polices, programs and improvements in the city.
Once Green Line riders leave the station platform they must take long stairways and ramps (1/4 mile long) to access narrow
sidewalks (3-4 feet) without street trees where they have to walk next to high speed traffic (45 MPH and higher) along streets
devoid of activity and life with limited safe access to buildings and work sites. This inequity has been created by the focus on
moving and parking cars at the expense of moving people and creating places. Although there are four Green Line light rail
stations located in this part of EI Segundo, with over 25,000 riders/day, the City's planning documents and policies do not
acknowledge the incredible transportation resource that the Green Line provides to the city. The Green Line provides the city's
residents and workers with unparalleled access to the region's transit system, directly connecting the South Bay with the
Gateway Cities; with a transfer to the Blue Line to DTLA and Long Beach; via the Silver Line to USC/Expo Park and DTLA; and
via the Red, Purple, Gold, Expo and Orange Lines to many other regions of the county. When the Crenshaw/LAX Line opens in
2019, area residents and workers will be the envy of the South Bay. Nearby cities will have the potential to grow and develop a
stronger sense of place with additional housing and job opportunities along with greater amenities that will come to support
more residents and workers. Along with new transit access comes the opportunity for cities to focus less on moving cars and
more on making places for people. Streets that currently only serve as conduits for vehicular movement can become lively
energized corridors of activity with protected bike lanes, pedestrians promenades with cafes, shops, and entertainment. The
Specific Plan can help to create a more equitable EI Segundo with more housing and job opportunities with strong transit and
active transportation connections.

-Section 3: Proposed Regulatory Changes and Impact (UP To 35 PoINTS)
3. Using the Toolkit Tools and Best Practices, describe the specific regulatory documents that will require revision and/or new
regulatory documents that will be developed as part of the proposed project.
A new Specific Plan for the project area (see Project Area Maps in Attachment 2) will be developed through a strong and dynamic
community-based engagement process that will consider all of Metro's 10 transit supportive planning elements, as detailed below in
Section 3-4, to encourage and support transit riders, reduce vehicles miles traveled and develop a synergistic interface between
public transportation and the surrounding communities within the eastern portion of EI Segundo. The Plan will build on the
interrelationship between the 10 transit supportive planning elements to comprehensively address the project area's strengths and
challenges to: increasing transit ridership and improved access to transit; reducing GHG emissions and improving air quality;
creating more livable places and active environments with safe and easily accessible multi -modal connections; balancing land uses
to support sustainable development; promoting and preserving local businesses; increasing economic benefits to the City, residents
and businesses; and creating a more equitable environment for residents, workers and visitors.
To assure a comprehensive review of the existing conditions, issues and challenges, the development of the plan will include: a
Housing Study to evaluate the feasibility of adding housing in this currently non-residential section of the city; an Economic Study to
investigate the opportunities for business stabilization, retention and expansion and build on the work of the Economic
Development Advisory Council; a Mobility Study and a Parking Study to analyze the safety and mobility needs of all road users,
especially pedestrians, cyclists and transit riders; as well as study on and off street parking utilization and future needs assessment.
A Program EIR will be completed to fulfill the plan's CEQA obligation and to streamline the processing of subsequent discretionary
projects by obviating the need for additional environmental documentation.
The new regulatory document will allow the City to: provide a detailed vision, policies and principles to guide the growth and
development of the transit corridor; directly regulate the distribution, location and extent of uses of land in the Plan area; detail the
major components of public and private transportation and public utilities; create design and development standards to ensure
quality development that enhances the character of the transit corridor and the larger community; establish design standards for
pedestrian, cyclist and other non -auto modes circulation and accessibility; create incentives to reduce vehicle miles traveled
through TDM strategies; and outline a series of implementation measures including regulations, programs and public works
projects and financing measures necessary to carry out the Plan.
The Plan will include an explanation of the relationship of the Plan to the General Plan and other planning documents. It should be
noted that portions of the Project Area currently have other regulatory documents, including Specific Plans, that control
development within those geographic areas, however the proposed EI Segundo Transit Corridor Plan will supercede those plans
and will potentially replace some of those existing plans. (See Attachment 2G Specific Plan/Overlay Zone Map).
The Specific Plan is proposed to include at least the following chapters:
Executive Summary; Introduction and Purpose; Current Context; Vision and Guiding Principles; Urban Form, Open Space and
Street Network; Land Use; Circulation and Mobility; Art and Culture; Economic Stability; Utility Infrastructure; Transportation
Demand Management Rules and Regulations; Development Standards and Land Use Regulations; Design Standards & Guidelines
for Blocks, Streets, Street Wall & Ground Floor, Access & Parking, Architecture, On-site Open Space, Landscape & Storm Water
Treatment, Streetscape Improvements, Signage and Cultural Amenities; and Implementation. The plan will be supported with
detailed exhibits including: maps, images, diagrams, tables, 3D sketches and street sections.
The Specific Plan will be adopted by the City Council as an ordinance that will control all private development and public
infrastructure construction in the Project Area. The City's Zoning Maps and Ordinance will also be updated. The City will establish
procedures for how the Specific Plan will be implemented and administered to assure effective oversight of the adopted regulations.
37
4. Describe how the proposed project will address, mitigate and/or improve the challenges described in Section 2 for each
of the io characteristics. How will the project accomplish the goals set forth in the Toolkit for creating transit supportive
places? If not applicable, please state why.
Compact
The Specific Plan has the potential to designate land within the walk shed of Metro light rail for more compact and denser
development, of either commercial and/or residential buildings. Based on stakeholder input, concentrating development, instead
of letting it spread out, might be a key outcome of the planning process. With new tools for shaping development, the city could
potentially increase the number of people within walking distance to transit. Alternatives considered may include taller buildings,
and/or a more tight -knit pattern of development.
Complete Neighborhoods
....... _........ ........ .....
The public and stakeholders will consider a broad range of alternatives including new mixed and residential uses, diversifying
the amenities available to employees, and influencing the massing and form of new buildings, sites and streetscapes. According
to the result of discussions with the community, introducing housing to the area may emerge as an option since it has the
potential to offer current and future workers at all income levels a shorter commute. Stakeholders could consider the scenario of
increasing the number of housing units locally, and addressing the regional housing crisis in Los Angeles.
Street & Network Connectivity
With community input, the Plan will lay groundwork for higher intersection density, and together with revised zoning and land
use, bring origins and destinations closer together. Pedestrian crossings, sidewalks, and the continuity of the network, and how
it connects to bus and light rail transit, could become a focus. Already planned bicycle routes can be adapted to make the most
of updated streets and crossings. Outreach about streetscapes could result in greater safety for active modes. Networks that
take into account bicycles and pedestrians could connect to the residential side of the city and adjoining cities.
Site Layout, Parking Layout& Buildinu Design
The Specific Plan could result in better use of land currently given over to outdated facilities and parking, by including new
offices and/or housing. Stakeholders could guide developers to build entrances with direct, close and convenient access to
sidewalks and make their buildings part of an ensemble, instead of solitary objects. Design guidelines could help developers
leverage site design to meet the needs, for safety and access, of pedestrians and cyclists. Excellent transitions and connections
extending from spaces, and uses, inside buildings, outside and into the public realm may shape the area's future identity.
Affordable Housing
The city can benefit from a new planning toolkit to envision, discuss & analyze the option of housing in the Corridor, along with
related uses like schools and healthcare facilities. Housing is in short supply in the sub -region and region, making the Corridor
area an invaluable opportunity to consider a new land use and building type in an area currently without housing. Housing could
decrease dependence on the car, and activate the Corridor on weekends and evenings, providing new customers for local retail
and entertainment. The nearby Metro Green Line and buses could meet residents' transportation needs.
Commercial Stabilization, Business Retention &:Fx87ansion
Commercial stabilization has the potential to ensure that workers and any new residents in the Corridor have ongoing access to
retail destinations such as convenience stores, grocery stores and dining options within walking distance of existing
development and the transit stations and bus stops. With stakeholder input, the crafting of successful policy will also increase
the number and diversity of small, local businesses and contribute to cohesion of the area as a lively retail corridor with a
distinct identity and can help to create a sense of place that will lead to the development of a true neighborhood.
Transit Prioritization, Accessibility &Area Desi
... ........
EI Segundo could introduce a flexible, on -demand shuttle to serve the Corridor and connect it to the northwestern quadrant of
the City. New bus lanes, signal prioritization, shade/seating at bus stops could help the bus system. Design guidelines can
consider the relationship of buildings to the pedestrian network and area around stations along with wayfinding, shade, street
trees, landscaping and storm water management. These support access on foot and bike - importantly, to transit. Conditions at
grade across the elevated light rail corridor may be revised to ensure pedestrian and bike comfort and safety.
Parking Management
Study and outreach for the Corridor Specific Plan can potentially result in the reduction of surface parking and infill with
commercial or other uses. Discussions with stakeholders in the planning process could result in lower parking requirements for
new construction in order to shift the reliance for commuting from driving alone to transit and active modes. New parking
regulations could potentially encourage transit use and carpooling, and reduce traffic in the region. On street parking will be an
alternative to parking in private structures and lots, and parking meters on streets will be considered to generate revenue.
Transportation Demand Management
New guidelines and regulations can potentially introduce, according to scenario analysis of projected outcomes, a transportation
impact fee for both new construction and substantial renovations. They could also encourage employee transit passes. The City
may take the Transit Corridor Plan as an opportunity to study and make actionable regional best practices for Transportation
Demand Management. These may include participation in a Transportation Management Organization (TMO). The potential is
for an enforceable set of TDM policies.
_......
Pedestrian & Bicycle Circulation
The Corridor Plan will bring stakeholders to consider how to increase bike and pedestrian mobility, safety and comfort. It can
study how to reinforce non -car circulation, center it on transit facilities, direct efforts toward the key objective of increased transit
use and review/revise access in the area around the elevated Metro Green Line. The City and stakeholders have the potential
to build on existing plans, including Metro's ATSP, which incorporates the SB Bike Master Plan. The City can also build on
Metro's Slow Speed Network (see Attachment 5), and support the range of on street and sidewalk non -car modes.
How will the project accomplish the goals set forth in the Tookit for creating transit supportive places?
If not applicable, please state why.
The project will develop a community -generated Specific Plan that incorporates all the above stated transit supportive planning
principles. To help inform the community-based process, the project will be initiated with focused studies on Housing,
Economic, and Mobility/Parking Studies to provide the city and stakeholders with up-to-date information, data and mapping
related to key issues facing the project area. The formation of a Community Advisory Committee (CAC), as outlined in Section
4, and the early workshops and other community engagement events will involve the public from the beginning of the project.

Section 4: Public Participation (UP TO 20 POINTS)
Inclusive public engagement is imperative to successful planning. Over the course of this program, we have learned
that the most successful projects are established by meaningfully engaging stakeholders early on and throughout the
process. Equity is a prominent concern across the county. To accurately address equity, grantees must ensure community
stakeholders, including disadvantaged/underserved stakeholders, are at the table to support decision -makers in identifying
equity concerns and policy recommendations. This will largely be influenced by when and how community stakeholders
are engaged.
1. Describe the proposed project's targeted communities and existing population. Identify key stakeholders and community
organizations (advocacy groups, business groups, religious/social organizations, etc.) that will be impacted by the
proposed project and describe the applicant's experience working with these groups OR how these groups will be engaged
in this process.
To assure that the Specific Plan has the support of the diverse business and residential communities of EI Segundo, the project will
consistently engage all stakeholders in a meaningful community-based process that goes to where people are and that relates to
the lives of the people who live, work and play in the city.
Stakeholders include, but are not limited to the following:
Large employers (Raytheon, US Air Force, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Chevron, Mattel, etc) representatives from their corporate,
government affairs, facilities planning, safety/security and transportation coordination departments; employees from various
industries including: office, light industry, manufacturing, aerospace, data, software, high tech, creative, biomed, airport, hotels
(including unionized), long-term hotels, entertainment, sports, retail and restaurant; governmental agencies including LAX, South
Bay Cities Council of Governments, Caltrans, Metro, City of LA Bureau of Sanitation, LA County Public Health Department, utilities
including Edison, West Basin Municipal Water District, and Southern Pacific and ATSF Railroads; representatives from adjacent
cities — Hawthorne, Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles, Inglewood; downtown business owners, small and mid-size retailers, Chamber
of Commerce; Nonprofits and community serving organizations representing affordable housing, pedestrians and cyclists (South
Bay Bicycle Coalition), safe routes to schools, urban forestry, housing, renters, homeless advocates; religious and educational
institutions; recreational and social service facilities; and the Economic Development Advisory Council (EDAC) that includes
representatives from the aerospace, real estate, hospitality and marketing industries as well as business owners and developers.
The stakeholders will be engaged in all stages of the community-based engagement process. A key group of approximately 25
stakeholders will be identified to represent the broader group on a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) that will work closely with
the City and the Specific Plan Consultant Team to develop the vision and goals for the plan, the public outreach plan and the
specific plan itself. The CAC will meet regularly (approximately bi-monthly) to assure consistent input from the public in all phases
of the Specific Plan development process.
The City currently engages residents, employees, and business and property owners in various policies, programs and projects
through outreach tools including Survey Monkey, the City's Website, their Facebook page and Nixel as well as at the weekly
Farmer's Market in Downtown area. Many past programs and projects have utilized advisory committees, such as the one
proposed for the Specific Plan, made up of community leaders and representatives. As mentioned above, the EDAC involves
community representatives on a monthly basis with city staff and elected officials to help chart the course for business opportunities
across the city.
The City has the unique opportunity to engage sports fans in the future development of the city with the two sports franchises - the
Lakers and the Kings - training facilities located in the Project Area. Many of the Lakers and Kings team members live in South Bay
communities and have a vested interest in the future growth and development of EI Segundo and the transit connections that can
be made in the future from their training facilities in EI Segundo to their arena at the Staples Center in DTLA via Green Line to
Crenshaw/LAX Line to the Expo Line.
Another opportunity to collaborate comes from the art community in EI Segundo. The EI Segundo Museum of Art (ESMoA) has
spearheaded an effort they call ELSEUNDOISSIMO which is capturing the artistic spirit of residents and others eager to explore
what the future of EI Segundo can be like. They can be an ideal partner for community outreach and engagement. The city already
supports their engagement with the creative side of EI Segundo (see Attachment 6 for article about ESMoA).

2. Outline a comprehensive, meaningful public participation and outreach plan that will bring the proposed regulatory
changes forward. Describe how disadvantaged and/or underserved communities will be engaged in the process,
specifying creative and proactive activities that will be undertaken to ensure their participation, and the identification and
recommendations around community -specific equity issues. How will the project team make the case for this planning
work? Use the Toolkit's 'Making the Case' information as a resource.
Building on sound principles of community engagement, the project will engage participants early and consistently through to the
adoption of the plan by City Council. In later phases, community engagement will continue into implementation.
As outlined in Metro's Transit Supportive Places Best Practices Outreach Tools, the Team will make the most of the following
community engagement tools: a clear outreach plan, defensible data, multiple modes of communication, new technologies for
outreach, visualization tools, and activities to make engagement fun. The process will re -frame the discussion to consider multiple
alternatives, build coalitions and identify project champions. Outreach will be personally relevant to participants, and equity and
inclusion will be important considerations.
The CAC will integrate public input from the beginning of the project to assure that the process is not top down. Regular meetings
will assure that the input of the public is integrated with the work of the City and Consultant Team.
In addition to the CAC, the outreach program will do just that — reach out. The Team will go to where people are: where they work;
where they eat lunch; where they go to school and recreate; where they shop and go for entertainment and sports events; where
they park their car or ride the train or bus; where they meet, etc. Team members will go to shopping malls, farmers markets, Metro
Green Line stations and bus stops, cafes and restaurants, golf courses and skating rinks, parks and playgrounds, PTA meetings,
walking and cycling clubs, church socials, carnivals and festivals. Anywhere people are, the Team will follow.
Forms of engagement will reach people on a human and personal level with enjoyable interactive and participatory workshops,
lively forums, community visioning charrettes, walk and bike audits, pop-up events, temporary "tactical urbanism" installations,
youth and other focus group activities. Outreach events can be held in concert with sports and entertainment activities such as a
Lakers or Kings training days, kids soccer games, outdoor movie night, office -related league baseball games, and other activities.
Organized larger events will bring the diverse stakeholders together to hear ideas and challenges from each other and to develop a
common vision for the project area that supports the ambition of the city to enhance the connectivity through strengthening the
sense of place and reaping the benefits of a multi -modal transportation network.
To assure that disadvantaged and/or under -served communities will be engaged in the process, proactive activities will be
undertaken to engage these populations. The project team will include translators, materials will be prepared in multiple languages,
meetings will be held when people are available in the evenings and/or weekends, and events will be held at schools parks, places
where people eat lunch and where they work. The project team will partner with organizations who have the trust of the local
individuals and groups, including: hotel unions, business associations, active transportation and transit advocates, affordable
housing advocates, equity and environmental justice organizations, renters rights groups, homeowner associations, neighborhood
groups, and others.
During the development of the Specific Plan, a series of land use and transportation alternatives will be considered by the Team
and the stakeholders that create different scenarios for the mix of land uses and transportation improvements in the project area.
The stakeholders will be provided with research and data to help inform them on making sound decisions and recommendations.
The Team will utilize strong graphic and communications techniques to clearly communicate the different land use and
transportation alternatives.

3. Provide evidence of community stakeholder and policy maker support for the types of regulatory changes being proposed;
this may include a description of prior actions or plans implementing similar changes elsewhere in the community, letters
of support, etc. Supporting documentation may be attached.
The City of EI Segundo has a long standing relationship with many of the stakeholders in the city and surrounding communities on
the need for regulatory changes to promote the sustained vitality of the city as a place to live, work and play. The City established
an Economic Development Advisory Council (EDAC) in 1994 to collaborate on the identification of responsible development
strategies in four key areas - Strategic & Forward Planning, Business Retention and Expansion, New Business Attraction and
Hospitality & Tourism. One of the current key recommendations of the EDAC is to conduct a Housing Study to identify housing
needs and potential financial impacts. The City Council strongly supports the development of the Housing Study, which will be an
essential part of the proposed Specific Plan, as well as the establishment of development and infrastructure standards that will
support new private and public investment.
Other key economic development strategies developed by the EDAC and City staff include: growing hotel occupancy by promoting
the city as a tourist destination and encouraging local businesses to have their guests stay locally; to leverage the Lakers and the
Kings, who both have training facilities in the project area, to attract out-of-town fans to stay overnight during the game season and
to attract youth sports tournaments to their facilities; to identify targeted industries to attract as new businesses in the city; and to
strengthen relationships with existing major employers to assure their long term commitment to staying in EI Segundo and growing
their businesses there. See Attachment 4 for Economic Development Brochure.
Key past actions of the City and regional government that show support for the ten key transit supportive principles and the types of
regulatory changes proposed include:
The EI Segundo City Council adopted a Complete Streets Policy in January 2016 to express their support of a comprehensive and
integrated transportation network that allows safe and convenient travel along and across streets for all users (See Attachment 3),
The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) is preparing a regional Land Use and Transportation Climate Action Plan
(LUTCP) for the all of the South Bay Cities. The plan is concentrating on strategies that support Neighborhood Centers and/or
Neighborhood Oriented Development to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce energy costs, protect air quality and public
health, and improve the economy and environment to reduce the impacts of climate change.
The SBCCOG, in cooperation with constituent cities, including EI Segundo, is also preparing a Slow Speed Network Strategic Plan
for South Bay, which includes downtown EI Segundo as a case study area (See Attachment 5). The proposed slow speed network
would provide viable routes for slow speed modes (under 25MPH) to connect downtown EI Segundo with the Green Line station
corridor.
The SBCCOG is exploring many land use and transportation initiatives including neighborhood electric vehicles (NEVs) for short
local trips; and has issued a Sustainable South Bay - An Integrated Land Use and Transportation Strategy; established an
Infrastructure Working Group to review transportation and infrastructure needs and issues in the sub -region; and coordinated the
development of the South Bay Sub -regional Mobility Matrix that prioritizes transportation projects in the South Bay for Measure M.
The South Bay Bicycle Coalition has completed a South Bay Bicycle Master Plan for all the cities, including EI Segundo, in the
South Bay. The plan designates a network of bicycle facilities along with outlining a series of program and policies to promote safe
and accessible cycling in the South Bay. See Attachment 21 Active Transportation Facilities Map for the proposed network of
streets in EI Segundo.

Section 5:
1. Describe existing opportunity sites: parcels of land within the proposed project area that could be developed or
redeveloped using principles of the Toolkit. Ensure that these sites are identified on the proposed project area map
(see Section 1). Please note whether the properties are publicly or privately held.
Existing opportunity sites that can be developed or redeveloped using the principles of the transit supportive planning toolkit are
delineated in Attachment 2H Major Developments Map and are described below:
Raytheon Campus - located in the southern of the Project Area and currently covered by the EI Segundo South Campus Specific
Plan, the Raytheon Campus incorporates over 142 acres and over 1.8 million square feet of commercial and industrial development
located immediately adjacent to the EI Segundo Green Line station. However the Campus does not have direct access to the
station and and almost half of the site is only developed with surface parking lots for the exclusive use of the Campus. As stated in
the Specific Plan "The Campus' proximity to freeways, major arterials and the Metro Rail makes the Campus an ideal location for
expansion of uses and is consistent with the City's desire to facilitate economic development in EI Segundo". The existing plan calls
for a direct pedestrian access easement to the station and the plan governs the amount of new automobile traffic trips that can be
generated by the new development. These factors create an opportunity for the proposed Specific Plan to make sure that new
development on the Campus be aligned with Metro transit supportive planning principles and that development could be more
intensive if designed with transit riders in mind and with smart transportation demand management policies.
Northrop Grumman Campus - located in the northeastern portion of the project area, there is a 22 acre portion of the site north of
Maple Avenue near the Aviation/LAX Green Line Station that is currently underutilized and has the potential to become a transit
supportive development site within very close walking distance to the station.
Metro Green Line Parking Lots - Metro owned surface parking lots at the EI Segundo and Douglas Green Line provide immediately
adjacent properties to the light line station that can be developed with transit supportive land uses, improved pedestrian
connections to the stations and provide secure bike parking and other transit amenities.
Cement Mixing Plant Site- A 5 -acre site located on Aviation Blvd. between the railroad tracks south of EI Segundo Blvd. and within
a 15 minute walk of both the EI Segundo and Douglas stations is at an important location adjacent to three existing redevelopment
projects and one new development that are bringing almost 800,000 square feet of creative office space to EI Segundo.
Existing surface parking lots and large landscape setbacks throughout project area - many of the existing commercial and industrial
properties are developed with buildings located far from the public rights-of-way surrounded by extensive surface parking lots and
landscaping. As the demand for transit supportive land uses, compact design and pedestrian and cyclist access increase and the
demand for parking decreases, these parking lots can be transformed into mixed-use development sites. In addition, surface
parking lots can be replaced with structures to make more efficient use of land and free up space for other activities and uses.
Reuse and additions to existing low-rise light industrial properties - as can be seen with the redevelopment of older former
aerospace and data office buildings along Aviation Blvd, new creative office space is in high demand in EI Segundo. Other older
underutilized or vacant office and industrial buildings in the area also provide opportunity for redevelopment, expansion or
replacement with new facilities.
Wide high speed underutilized streets with lack of pedestrian and bicycle facilities - many of the public streets in the project area
are designed for more road capacity than is currently utilized. This extra capacity can be re -purposed for safe and accessible
pedestrian, cyclist and transit facilities. Wider sidewalks with landscaped buffers, street trees and lighting, enhanced transit stops
and buffered or protected bikeways can replace excess roadway for a safer more transit supportive environment in the project area.

2. Describe the long-term implementation plan for building a successful transit supportive community after grant -
funded regulatory changes are adopted.
The Specific Plan will start a citywide conversation about transit supportive land use planning that can lead to the update of the
city's General Plan, which has not been comprehensively updated since 1992. The general public, residents, property and business
owners and the arts & cultural community in EI Segundo have all been very interested in comprehensively and thoughtfully
developing the planning tools necessary to assure that the future of EI Segundo supports their vision and ambitions. EI Segundo's
reputation as part of the Silicon Beach of the Westside and as one of the most business -friendly cities in Southern California, with
more Fortune 500 companies than any other city in California other than San Francisco, shows the City's ambitions to grow and
develop to support the existing world-class talent and entrepreneurial spirit of the people who live and work in the city. This base of
dedicated residents, workers and business interests in EI Segundo can be tapped to create stakeholders that are vested in the
development and implementation of the Specific Plan. The City's Economic Development Advisory Council (EDAC), comprised of
respected industry leaders, is a model of effective public and private collaboration that develops and implements innovative
economic development strategies in the city and will be directly involved in the planning and implementation processes of the plan
(See Attachment 4 Economic Development Brochure). The EDAC and the City have turned around the devastating loss of the
aerospace industry in the 1990's and 2000's to reinvent the city as a center for innovation and creativity.
The Specific Plan development and implementation process provides an important opportunity for the City to engage these
innovative and creative stakeholders in a dialog about how best to build on the opportunity provided by the four Green Line Stations
located in or adjacent to the project area. As well as the unique location that the city provides with it's adjacency to the Pacific
Ocean and great beaches, LAX and two freeways - the 405 and the 105, no other city in the region can boast four metro stations
and the beach within two miles of 70,000 workers and 16,000 residents. The City and the EDAC have done an excellent job of
promoting the city's ideal geographic location for businesses who want to be near LAX and other Silicon Beach communities, but
now they have an expanded mandate of capitalizing on the mobility options provided by the four Green Line stations. With the
opening of the Crenshaw/LAX Line, EI Segundo will be within a train ride of the entire Los Angeles county region, making the City
ripe for expanded development opportunities to support the existing investments that the City and the business community have
made over the past 20 years. It is in the best interest of both the private and public sectors to see that the Specific Plan is
implemented so that they can fulfill their ambitions for.:truly innovative community..
The Specific Plan will outline direct strategies for implementation including a funding plan for identifying funding for capital
improvement projects from city funds, grant funding at the county, state and federal levels and public-private partnerships. Many of
the larger scaled pedestrian, cyclist and transit improvements will likely be initiated by the City since projects that span more than
one property are more efficiently implemented for one block or more instead of incrementally. Implementation of some public
improvements will also occur as part of the Specific Plan conditions of approval for private development projects. For example,
streetscape design standards will require pedestrian, cyclist and transit stop improvements adjacent to new or redeveloped
properties which will be the responsibility of the developer of that property.
The Specific Plan will also designate which City departments, other agencies or private property owners are responsible to
implementation actions in the plan. The EDAC would likely be assigned to implement marketing and economic development
strategies and ideas, whereas the Public Works Department would follow up on street redesign projects and the Parks and
Recreation Department will work on locating funding for expanding sites for parks and open space features identified in the plan
As stated in the City's 2016-2019 Strategic Plan Vision Statement - "The City has transformed. We are leading the way with
innovation and environmental responsibility. With fewer people driving cars, we have adapted our street, parking and land use
plans. We have high-speed fiber optics as a utility to support more work from home and fewer brick and mortar businesses. The
downtown is vibrant with successful businesses and day and evening pedestrian activity. The east side of town has become denser
(especially near the rail lines) including a high level of service with retail and a school to support it. While our revenue base has
shifted to changing businesses, we are financially sustainable and growing because we have capitalized on the changes."

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
2. Describe the team composition, including the roles and responsibilities of city/county staff and/or consultants, and
the applicant's capacity for implementing the proposed project.
The Specific Plan Team will be composed of the following city staff and consultant team members, at a minimum:
City of EI Segundo City Manager
City of EI Segundo Director of Planning and Building & Safety
City of EI Segundo Planning Manager - lead city staff for project
City of EI Segundo Principal Planner
City of EI Segundo Assistant Planner
City of EI Segundo GIS Specialist
City of EI Segundo Public Works Director
City of EI Segundo City Engineer
City of EI Segundo Building Safety Manager/Building Official
City of EI Segundo Director of Recreation & Parks
Consultant Project Manager - hired by City exclusively to manage the EI Segundo Transit Corridor Plan Project
Specific Plan Consultant Team composed of the following (some of the roles can be combined and provided by the same
consultant/individual) to complete tasks and deliverables outlined in Attachment B: Lead Consultant/Project Manager, Urban/Land
Use Planner, Urban Designer, Landscape Architect, Architect, Pedestrian Planner/Designer, Bicycle Planner/Designer,
Transportation Planner, Transportation Engineer, Civil Engineer, Parking Specialist, Economist, Housing Specialist, GIS/Mapping
Specialist, EIR Consultant and Sub -consultants, Public Outreach/Engagement Consultant, Marketing/Public Relations Specialist
and others as necessary to complete the scope and work, tasks and deliverables outlined in Attachment B.
A Consultant Project Manager will be hired by the City since the Planning Department does not currently have enough staff to
provide this function. The Project Manager will manage the project including the Consultant Team and the city staff. The tasks
outlined in Attachments A & B will be completed by the Consultant Team with overview by the Project Manager and with regular
input and review by the city staff listed above. The City has extensive experience working with and managing consultant teams on
planning projects such as the proposed Specific Plan. Current examples include the Downtown Specific Plan and the Smoky
Hollow Specific Plan.
The City has highly qualified and experienced staff to implement the project. Gregg McClain, Planning Manager for the The City of
EI Segundo, will function as the lead planner for the project and has extensive experience from his eight years at the neighboring
City of Hawthorne before his move to the City of EI Segundo one year ago.
The City also has planning staff that implement other specific plans including the Downtown Specific Plan and the Smoky Hollow
Specific Plan. Staff currently review and process design standards for those and other projects on a daily basis. Smoky Hollow is a
particularly active part of town that generates several site plan and design review applications each year. The City has a staff of 6
staff planners: 1 technician; 2 assistants; 2 principals and 1 manager --which is above average for a city of population 17,000. The
staff reviews commercial and industrial plans daily and have considerable competence in this. The City also has extensive
experience hiring contract planners as needed and currently has 1 contract planning technician working full time and 3 other
contract planners dedicated to specific projects. Most large projects are funded through reimbursement agreements with
developers, which are used to fund contract planners as needed so that staff are available for daily project review. The Planning
Manager assigns two planners to every major project to be co -project managers. One is one of the principal planners and the other
a junior planner. This ensures 2 dedicated staff on each project and someone always ready to answer for the project's progress.
There are no disruptions during vacations or sick leave, because two people are sharing the work. The Planning staff are also
knowledgeable and experienced in refining and amending Specific Plans and developing additional ordinances that further
implement the intentions and goals of the Specific Plan.
The Public Works Department has extensive experience implementing capital improvement projects that are likely to be included as
a part of Specific Plan to achieve the goals of creating a transit supportive corridor. They have experience pursuing grants to fund
capital improvement projects as well as successfully managing the grants and supervising contractors to construct the
improvements.
15
PRIOR GRANT PERFORMANCE (IF APPLICABLE)
3. Describe past performance of grants with respect to timeliness of invoicing, and adherence to project schedules
and goals.
The City of EI Segundo Public Works Department is the main city agency that receives grants from LA Metro and other funding
agencies. They have solid experience administering grants from Metro and are able to deliver projects on time and within budget.
Examples include the Imperial Highway Resurfacing Project and Maple Street Improvements which have achieved projects goals
and schedules. The City has dedicated grant administration and accounting department staff that assures timely invoicing and
reporting to funding agencies to meet grant obligations.

The term "Complete Streets" describes a comprehensive, integrated transportation network with
infrastructure and design that allows safe and convenient travel along and across streets for all users,
including pedestrians, bicyclists, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers of commercial goods, users
and operators of public transportation, emergency responders, seniors, children, youth, and families.
The City of EI Segundo recognizes that the planning and coordinated development of Complete Streets
infrastructure provides benefits for local governments in the areas of infrastructure cost savings, public
health, and environmental sustainability.
In order to further the health, safety, welfare, economic vitality, and environmental well-being of our
communities, Complete Streets policies and legislation have been adopted throughout the Country,
including numerous California counties, cities, and transportation agencies.
■ The State of California has emphasized the importance of Complete Streets by enacting the
California Complete Streets Act of 2008 (also known as AB 1358) which required that when cities
or counties revise the Circulation Element of their general plans they also identify how they will
provide for the mobility needs of all user of the roadways.
■ California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Deputy Directive 64, effective October 2008,
explains that it "views all transportation improvements as opportunities to improve safety,
access, and mobility for all travelers in California and recognizes bicycle, pedestrian, and transit
modes as integral elements of the transportation system."
• Metro, through its Complete Street Policy, requires that all local jurisdictions within LA County
adopt either a Complete Streets Policy, a City Council Resolution supporting Complete Streets,
or an adopted General Plan consistent with the California Complete Streets Act of 2008 in order
to be eligible for Metro capital grand funding programs, starting with 2017 grant cycles.
Therefore, the City of EI Segundo wishes to express its commitment to -Complete Streets and desires
that its streets form a comprehensive and integrated transportation network promoting safe and
convenient travel for all users while preserving flexibility, recognizing community context, and using
design guidelines and standards that support best practices.
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish guiding principles and practices so transportation
improvements are planned, designed, constructed, operated and maintained to encourage walking,
bicycling and transit use while promoting safe operations for all users.
Sidewalk Policy - City of El Segundo January 1016
Attachment 3
Policy
A. Core Commitment— Complete Street Principles
All Users and Modes: The City of EI Segundo embraces the Complete Streets philosophy, which
strives to create streets that provide safe, comfortable, and convenient travel along and across
roadways through a comprehensive and integrated transportation network that serves all
categories of users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, persons with disabilities, motorists, movers
of commercial goods, users and operators of public transportation, emergency responders,
seniors, children, youth and families.
Context Sensitivity: The City will work with residents, businesses, transportation agencies, and
other stakeholders to ensure that the values of the community are maintained and the unique
circumstances of all users are fully considered. It is noted that streets within the City will not all
look the same and will not necessarily include exclusive elements for all modes of travel on
every street.
Projects and Phases: The City of EI Segundo will apply the Complete Streets objectives to all
roadway projects whenever feasible, including those involving new construction, reconstruction,
retrofits, repaving, or rehabilitation. Complete Streets may be achieved through single projects,
or incrementally through a series of smaller improvements or maintenance and operation
activities over time.
- All Agencies and Roads: All relevant departments of the City shall work towards making
Complete Streets practices a routine part of everyday operations, approach every relevant
project, program and practice as an opportunity to improve streets and the transportation
network for all categories of users, and work in coordination with other departments, agencies,
and jurisdictions to maximize opportunities for Complete Streets, connectivity, and cooperation.
B. Design and Implementation
Design:
o The City will follow its own accepted or adopted design standards as may be updated or
amended, including but not limited to the City Standard Details and Specifications,
Specific Plans, and Bicycle Master Plans. If no specific standard exists for transportation
facilities, then the City will use applicable federal and state standards.
o Whenever modifications are made to streets, Complete Streets features will be
considered and incorporated to the maximum extent practical. Street improvements
and Complete Street features may include:
• Facilities and amenities such as street and sidewalk lighting;
• Sidewalk and pedestrian improvements such as wider sidewalks, parkways,
median refuges or crosswalk improvements;
• Improvements that provide American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant
accessibility;
■ Transit accommodations and access at train station;
• Shared use lanes and bike lanes,
• Landscaping; and
• Street furniture.

Network / Connectivity: The City will incorporate Complete Streets infrastructure into existing
streets and future transportation projects to improve the safety and convenience of all users,
with the particular goal of creating a connected network of facilities accommodating each
category or user, and increasing connectivity across jurisdictional boundaries.
Implementation:
o Staff review: Staff will review all transportation system improvement projects during the
planning / design phase to determine appropriate Complete Streets implementation to
meet this policy objective.
o Inventory: The City will maintain an inventory of the pedestrian and bicycling facility
infrastructure integrated with the City's GIS database and will prioritize projects to
eliminate gaps in the sidewalk and bikeways network.
o Revisions to existing plans and policies: The City's next General Plan, Transit Plan, Bicycle
Plan, and Neighborhood Specific Plan will be updated to incorporate Complete Street
principles.
o Funding: The City will actively seek sources of appropriate funding to implement
Complete Streets principles.
Performance Measures: Relevant departments will establish performance measures and
perform evaluations of how well the street and transportation networks are serving each
category of users by collecting baseline and follow-up data. Examples of data that may be
collected and evaluated include, but are not limited to:
o Total miles of on -street bikeways defined by streets with clearly marked or signed
bicycle accommodations;
o Total number of streets with pedestrian accommodations;
o Number of missing or non-compliant curb ramps at City street intersection; and
o Number of accidents and fatalities for pedestrian -vehicle and bicycle -vehicle collisions.
C. Exceptions: Complete Streets principles and practices will be evaluated for inclusion in new
construction, reconstruction, retrofits, repaving, or rehabilitation projects, as well as other plans
and manuals, unless:
o The project is not a roadway improvement project;
o The project involves only ordinary or emergency maintenance activities designed to
keep assets in serviceable condition such as mowing, cleaning, sweeping, spot repair,
concrete joint repair, or pothole filling, or when interim measures are implemented on
temporary detour or haul routes.
o The City Council exempts a project due to excessive and disproportionate cost of
establishing a bikeway, walkway, or transit enhancement as part of the project.
D. Effective Date
This policy will become effective October 18, 2016 following adoption by City Council.
Modifications of the Policy will be effective on the date said modifications are approved by the
City Council or the date any City employee or official with authority granted by the City Council
has approved the Policy modification or change.

PERMITTING
El Segundo offers businesses a streamlined permitting
process that includes a range of plan review services
intended to meet our customers' expectations. Planning
and Building Safety staff serve as the customer advocate;
the person that assists customers in completing the
development process.
In El Segundo, customers are not required to submit plans
to each of the departments separately. Plans are submitted
through a single point of contact, Planning and Building
Safety. Several departments are involved in the plan
check and approval process, but one permit is issued with
approvals from all of the departments.
Along with over-the-counter and regular plan check, El
Segundo offers two additional types of plan check services:
Appointment Plan Check (APC): This process involves
scheduling an appointment to review plans with the
City's development team made up of representatives of
all the City departments involved in the development
review process. The concept is to bring the City to the
customer rather than the traditional approach of having the
customer navigate through the organization by going from
department to department, waiting an unknown period
of time for feedback and being uncertain of the status.
During the appointment, City staff benefits by being able
to coordinate requirements. Customers benefit by being
able to hear from all of the departments, all at once, which
removes possibilities of conflicting corrections between
departments, as well as being able to make necessary
changes to the plans.
Accelerated Plan Check: This offers customers an
optional expedited plan check service. The process is
conducted by staff after regular business hours and
requires additional fees. With accelerated plan check, staff
from each of the departments completes their plan checks
usually within 2 to 3 weeks.
Additionally, the City of El Segundo allows concurrent
processing of planning entitlements and plan check review,
which can reduce processing time by as much as 50%.
Furthermore, the City provides one -day inspection service
for all projects under construction and even provides night
and weekend inspection service if needed for very large-
scale, time -sensitive projects (additional fees may apply).

IV. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE
El Segundo is a well-planned, well-defined business community.
"There's something for everyone — big companies, small companies, red brick,
steel and glass, tall buildings, small buildings, new offices and re -use industrial.
You can start small and expand, or start big and keep growing.
With attractive space, rents significantly lower than the competing West
Los Angeles submarket, and a reputation for being truly business -friendly,
El Segundo is well-positioned to show healthy gains in its office, industrial,
and retail market sectors. A large number of key commercial real estate and
investment firms also have heavily deployed resources throughout El Segundo,
including CB Richard Ellis, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield, Newmark Grubb
Knight Frank, Continental Development Corporation, and Mar Ventures.
Currently, El Segundo boasts more than 81 billion in recent and planned
development. The new creative office spaces and campuses coming out of
the ground are smart, state-of-the-art, and architectural works of art.
Retail Market Profile: there is a vibrant downtown corridor, featuring
a wide array of restaurants, retail, entertainment and local arts and crafts.
The most significant change to El Segundo's retail sector has been the
recent development of The Point, an $80 million shopping and dining
complex located directly south of Plaza El Segundo. El Segundo's primary
retail trade area encompasses a thriving and affluent market that includes
the coastal communities between Marina del Rey to the north and
Palos Verdes to the south.

Crime & Public Safety:
El Segundo takes pride in being one of the safest cities in
Southern California with the lowest crime rate of any non -
gated community in the County and one of the highest
numbers of police personnel per capita of any Southland
city: Emergency response is lightning fast, with dispatch
less than one minute following a 911 call.
In recent years, the City of El Segundo has increased its
commitment to public safety by investing in its own 1040
AM radio bandwidth to broadcast emergency information,
implementing a mass notification system for emergency
alerts, and instituting an Area Command Program to
respond to quality of life issues.
The fire department features one of the region's most
advanced emergency preparedness plans.
Travel &Transportation:
Aside from its many community amenities, El Segundo
is also prized for its strategic location. Businesses that
locate here are just minutes away from LAX, the nation's
third largest airport, a stone's throw from two major
freeways, and can quickly access major bus and train
lines. El Segundo is also stocked with hotels that cater
to businesses, making it an ideal travel destination.
• Downtown Shuttle:
Employees on the east side of the community can enjoy
lunch or shop in El Segundo's charming downtown area
without getting into their cars. The City of El Segundo
Lunchtime Shuttle runs every nine minutes on weekdays
between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., with stops at strategic
spots in both downtown and busy commercial sectors.
• Metro:
The Green Line, a light railway/tram that is part of the Los
Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority's Metro
Rail subway system, conveniently runs through El Segundo
with service in the heart of the city's busiest commercial
sector.The Aviation/I-105 station provides free shuttle to
and from Los Angeles International airport.
'Ihe line also passes through Redondo Beach, Manhattan
Beach, El Segundo, Lennox, Inglewood, Watts, Lynwood,
Downey and Norwalk. In September 2011, Metro certified
the final EIR for the Crenshaw/I.AX Transit Corridor
Project, an 8.5 -mile light rail line funded by Measure R
dollars that will connect downtown Los Angeles and the
Westside with the South Bay and LAX area, including EI
Segundo, while adding thousands of jobs to the region.
The new line, with a completion date of 2019, will connect
the Expo Line to the Green Line with six stations.
• Bus Lines:
El Segundo is serviced by the LA Metro and
the Torrance bus system.

SLOW SPEED NETWORK STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE SOUTH BAY - DRAFT07/17
Project Overview
Metro's Complete Streets policies provide direction on how
to achieve safe access for all users of the roadway by placing
a priority on non -car modes. Typically, these modes include
pedestrians, bicycles and transit. The Slow Speed Network
Strategy for the South Bay promotes Complete Streets goals
of livability, safety, sustainability and mobility by focusing on
a wider range of users of roads and sidewalks, anticipating a
future in which modes such as Neighborhood Electric Vehicles,
e -bikes, and other slow on -street mobility devices are widely
used for transportation. These on -street slow modes have a
strong symbiotic link to pedestrian activity - which is reinforced
by a slow speed network strategy that considers the widest
possible range of sidewalk modes, including wheelchairs,
walkers, and mobility scooters.
The viability and safety of sidewalk modes needs to be
supported and encouraged because, apart from providing
mobility for all ages and abilities, they set a high standard
for sidewalk design and maintenance crucial to successful
pedestrian areas. Pedestrian areas, centered on medium
to high density retail, office and other mixed uses, are
fundamental to the livability of cities, and are key destinations
for users of on -street slow modes. The presence of non-
car slow modes on roads and in pedestrian areas, in turn,
provides an all important buffer for pedestrians by disrupting
the hegemony of the car.
Slow Zones: Local Network
XX
Expanding the concept of Complete Streets with a more
fine-grained and high-resolution approach means providing
infrastructure for the widest possible range of vehicles that
travel at or less than 25 mph.
The Slow Speed Network Strategy achieves this through a
system of three interconnected networks, each at a different
scale, and each reinforced by physical and digital wayfinding,
making neighborhood and sub -regional destinations
accessible by slow non -car modes.
In its ultimate state, the entire network is seamlessly
connected and consistently distinguished from its
surroundings. The network design is expressed through
elements such as distinct paving, signage, landscaping,
lighting, broadband connectivity, and clear and consistent
branding.
To take the first steps towards this vision, the network relies
on the adaptive re -use of the existing roadway network to
promote integrated multi -modal transportation using primarily
residential streets. The slow speed network strategy is made
up of the following three interconnected sub -networks, shown
below.
Sub -regional Network
Slow Mode Freeways: Reional Network
Attaciment 5
114
, so"Jv" ILW
IN -
Slow Mode Freeways: Regional Network
The largest scale of network uses dedicated ROWs for multi-
use pathways that accommodate NEVs (Neighborhood Electric
Vehicles) as well as bicycles, pedestrians and all other slow
modes. These slow mode freeways on re -purposed ROWS
should be imagined as a part of a future Countywide or
regional multi -modal transportation and recreation network
made up of other similar ROWS. In the South Bay, candidates
for such facilities include existing multi -use paths under
electrical corridors, a segment of the Harbor Subdivision ROW
that extends south of the Green Line, and the 16 -mile length
of the Dominguez Channel, which could provide trans -South
Bay slow mode connectivity to jobs, housing and regional
amenities.
Sub -regional Network
The signed and branded routes for on -street slow modes
link the Slow Zones and traverse the South Bay, forming a
sub -regional Slow Mode Network. The network is made up
of existing residential streets wherever possible. Residential
streets, with the addition of physical and digital wayfinding,
present the lowest cost; both for implementation and
maintenance, of a Slow Speed Network.
Further, our Network Strategy, which builds on the Countywide
Active Transportation Strategic Plan (ATSP), relies on "low
stress roadways". This means that shared use facilities --
where cars, bikes, pedestrians and other slow modes share
the ROW with no separating barriers or striping -- are located
on roads with simultaneously the slowest moving traffic and
the lowest traffic volumes. In cases where residential streets
are not feasible for accessing Slow Zone pedestrian centers
or other important destinations, the network is located on the
next slowest streets - e.g. 30 mph streets instead of 25 mph. In
these cases, a striped lane, shared between bicycles, NEVs and
other slow modes, is warranted.
Because NEVs are prohibited from roads with speed limits
higher than 35 mph, under the California Vehicle Code, we do
not use any such roads except in rare cases where there is no
alternative. On roads over 35 mph, the network would need
a physically separate lane shared by N EVs, bikes and other
on -street slow modes. These facilities along the edges of roads
would be analogous to non -car facilities on greenways or other
multi -use paths.
SLOW SPEED NETWORK STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE SOUTH BAY- DRAFT O]/1]
Slow Zones: Local Network
The smallest scale of roadway network is a series of signed
and branded routes for slow modes on low speed -limit streets
focused around selected pedestrian thoroughfares. These
districts roughly encompassing a 1/2 mile to one mile area
around pedestrian corridors are called Slow Zones. Twelve
distinct Slow Zones have been identified in the sub -region.
Four of the twelve areas are presented in-depth. These have
mature pedestrian/retail cores and in some cases, business
improvement districts. The other eight highlighted areas are
referred to in our study as Lite Slow Zones. In the four in-
depth case study areas the team carried out walk audits as the
basis for recommendations for improvements to multi -modal
pedestrian infrastructure.
A very high -standard pedestrian environment, accessible
to all, is the nucleus of the Slow Zone. Geared to the full
range of slow modes, the zones feature wayfinding, signage,
curbside drop-off and pick-up, and offer full speed electric
and N EV charging facilities. The idea is that Slow Zones are a
repeatable form, with established standards and conventions
distinct from their surrounding areas that will be recognizable
Countywide. In general, many areas of first/last mile travel to
transit stations will make good candidates to become Slow
Zones, although not all Slow Zones need to be centered on
transit.

Slow Zones: Local Network
Selection of Slow Zones
Selection of the following Slow Zone centers and corridors
included the analysis of relevant demographic, economic
and mobility metrics, evaluation of future development areas
and trends, and local organizational capacity and interest.
Area selection also took into consideration the range of
demographic patterns and land use types in the South Bay.
San Pedro
San Pedro's past, present and future are tied to the Port of Los
Angeles, which is partly in San Pedro. The area's appealing
old port -city quality is preserved thanks to the twenty-five
miles separating it from downtown Los Angeles, and to its
relative isolation from other cities. The historic downtown
benefits from wide sidewalks, alleys, and pedestrian lighting.
Housing, shops and restaurants in pre -WWII era buildings
feature historic ornaments and finishes rare in the Los Angeles
region. New offices and housing in the blocks surrounding the
historic core indicate the area will only grow as a commercial
destination. The San Pedro Public Market, the new
development planned for the site of the current Ports O' Call,
promises to be a regional attraction, expanding and evolving in
phases.
San Pedro's bike infrastructure, residential streets, sidewalks
and alleys lend themselves very well to non -car modes. The
2016 Mobility Plan by the City of Los Angeles picks up on this,
suggesting street enhancements that encourage active modes.
Building on on this planning, the Slow Zone strategy fosters
local connectivity and local business, and strengthens access
from downtown to the San Pedro Public Market.
Artesia Boulevard, the pedestrian heart of the Slow Zone, is
a mile and half boulevard of restaurants, small businesses
and some auto -serving uses. Surrounding it are small blocks
of attractive single and multi -family housing on very narrow
streets. The neighborhood has a dense, close-knit quality that
lends itself comfortably to walking and biking. There is senior
housing, a small park and a range of retail amenities at the
Aviation Blvd. end of the area, and the South Bay Galleria on
the other end. In between, the Edison corridor ROW active
transportation path intersects Artesia. A new Metro Green Line
station will eventually be built on the site of a transit center
planned just southwest of the Galleria. The Galleria itself will
soon undergo renovation.
XX
North Redondo
The pedestrian core of the North Redondo Slow Zone would be
distinguished through improved sidewalks and new decorative
crossings, signage and wayfinding. The on -street network, with
slow mode infrastructure, signage and wayfinding, provides
access to the Artesia Boulevard corridor by on -street slow
modes, and connection to the Galleria and the Metro Green
Line station. The Slow Zone concept is in keeping with the
extensive analysis, projects, programs and outreach carried out
in the area by the Beach Cities Health District, local advocates
of community health and sustainability. It also supports the
efforts of the North Redondo Beach Business Association to
promote small businesses on Artesia.
EI Segundo
The large commercial and employment districts on the eastern
side of EI Segundo, which are also the site of three Metro
Green Line stations, are notably separate and entirely different
in use and character from the quadrant on the city's western
edge with the City's only housing, schools, civic functions,
and main street with busy restaurants and shops. On the
southern edge of.this residential quadrant is a small stretch
of a few blocks of undulating hills, centered on Franklin, with
an intriguing mix of housing and light industrial facilities and
offices popular with small businesses. The area is genuinely
mixed use and less corporate than the rest of the city. With
relatively modest effort, it could be a real standout in the
region, functionally and aesthetically, if distinguished as a Slow
Zone.
The slow speed strategy provides policy and planning direction
for establishing the Slow Zone and linking it, with NEVs,
e -bikes, bikes and other on -street modes, from the Main
Street/Franklin mixed-use area to the employment districts
and Green Line.

SLOW SPEED NETWORK STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE SOUTH BAY -DRAFT 0)/1]
Implementation and Next Steps
Four pilot scenarios - the first spannng a part of Inglewood and
Hawthorne, the second centered on EI Camino College linking
Carson to the North Redondo Transit Center, the third in San
Pedro, and a fourth in EI Segundo linking the old downtown
to the Green Line - lend themselves to being developed into
transportation projects that demonstrate the network strategy.
The pilot scenarios are fragments of the overall network, link-
ing key destinations on the subregional network, connecting
Slow Zones and slow mode freeways.
To become transportation projects the four pilots scenarios
would need to be developed through these steps:
> Feasibility,
> Design alternatives, and
> Engineering and environmental review
Each of these steps will require identification of funding
sources, such as Measure M dollars, that the SBCCOG and its
member cities can access to fund the pilot projects.
Pilot Scenario is
Inglewood to Hawthorne
The terminus of the Rail to River Active Transportation Cor-
ridor, although not part of the slow speed network, would
provide a link from outside the project area to the network. The
western terminus of Rail to River extends towards the sub -re-
gional, on -street network crossing downtown Inglewood - a
Slow Zone centered around a future light rail stop. From here,
the on -street network extends southward into Hawthorne, and
links to the northernmost portion of the Dominguez Channel
slow mode freeway, offering access to the Crenshaw Green
Line Station. In a compact area, the project features all three
types of slow speed network. If built, such a demonstration
project would provide seemless connectivity for active modes
coming from the Rail to River Corridor, and connectivity for all
slow modes including NEVs through downtown Inglewood,
and access to two light rail stations.
xx
About Rail to River on Metro's website:
"The Active Transportation Rail to River Corridor Project will
convert an existing, underutilized railroad right-of-way (ROW)
into a multi-purpose transportation corridor from the City of
Inglewood in the western end tofrom the City of Inglewood in
the western end to the Los Angeles River in the eastern end,
spanning up to io.6 miles (depending upon the alternative
path selected). Upon completion, the Active Transportation
Rail to River Corridor Project will link neighborhoods, schools,
and other key destinations through the heart of South Los
Angeles."
Pilot Scenario 2:
EI Segundo
As in San Pedro, EI Segundo's slow speed network is linked
to other cities, but through network segment links that are
several miles long. For this and other reasons, it makes sense
to contain a pilot project within EI Segundo. A pilot project
here would provide non -car access from the lively mix of uses
in the area of Main Street in downtown EI Segundo to the
Green Line station on Mariposa and Nash streets. Employees
working around the Mariposa station would be able to get to
Main street in slow modes. As a non -car link for residents,
visitors, employees and commuters, the project would support
planning and design efforts towards a more pedestrian friendly
and mixed use environment in the areas of the city now zoned
exclusively as commercial.

Feasibility, Design Alternatives, Engineering
and Environmental Review for Pilot Projects
The first step toward implementation for any of the pilot
projects will be to identify infrastructure owners and determine
who will lead pilot projects. Moving forward will require the
participation of multiple agencies, and in some cases, adjoin-
ing cities. Project leads will need to establish funding sources
for planning, design, funding of implementation capital, opera-
tions and maintenance.
Because continuity is essential to the network concept,
maintaining consistency and continuity between jurisdictions,
including as the network expands over time, will be an un-
avoidable challenge. The network strategy calls for a unified
route for slow speeds, and will not succeed as disconnected
segments.
1. Feasibility
Feasibility studies for any of the pilots will entail refinement
of route planning, study of intersections and signalization,
estimating costs and conducting outreach.
ia. Route Planning
> Field -verify routes.
> Confirm speed limits: conduct speed surveys and volume
counts
> Verify recommended facility classes.
> Determine planned changes, street blockages or directional
closures.
> Determine phasing and the sequence of segments.
> Locations for wayfinding and other signage
> Location for parking and charging of slow modes.
ib. Intersections
> Field verify intersection geometry and performance for
crossings and turning.
ic. Signalization
Work with cities and agencies to understand advantages of
taking on the scope of more advanced signalization.
SLOW SPEED NETWORK STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE SOUTH BAY -DRAFT 07/17
Analyze existing and required timing changes to accommodate
non -car modes, including determining concept of operations
for multi -modal signalization throughout the pilot project area.
A camera -based sensor system, acting in concert with other
sensors and types of activation, would best track the effective-
ness of the pilot.
> Determine which signals would be owned and maintained by
County and which by cities.
> Coordinate with agencies and local jurisdictions.
> Determine what agreements are needed to cover cost and
liability.
id. Outreach
> Determine project constituents.
> Discuss project with agencies, cities, institutional and local
stakeholders, including in the immediate project area.
ie. Cost and Funding
> Calculate costs and determing funding sources for design,
engineering, environmental, as well as implementations,
operations and maintenance.
2. Design Alternatives
Studying network alternatives will require a new layer of analy-
sis and refinements of these steps:
> Route Planning
> Intersections
> Signalization
> Outreach
> Cost and Funding
3. Engineering and Environmental Review
Intersection improvements, streetscapes and signalization
would be developed through the constriction document phase
and precisely coordinated with existing conditions. Some
facility classes of the slow speed network would require CEQA
documentation and some would not. Class III facilities will not
require it, whereas Class II would have to justify an exemption,
for example, if no travel lanes will be eliminated. Class IV lanes
require full CEQA documentation, whereas for Class I, the
specific facility may be exempt upon study.

SLOW SPEED NETWORK STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE SOUTH BAY - DRAFT07/17
The following are specific feasibility, design alternatives,
engineering and environmental review considerations for the
four pilot scenarios.
Pilot Scenario:
Inglewood to Hawthorne
> Confirm the end points of the pilot project area as the
termination of the Rail to River active transportation corridor,
and a specified a point along the Dominguez Channel south of
SpaceX.
> Focus on edges of project area to ensure connectivity to
streets outside pilot project boundaries.
> Consider connectivity to Hollywood park redevelopment,
planned rail stations and Market street.
> Pay special attention to Hillcrest, Manchester, LaBrea
"Y" intersection at Hillcrest and Gravelia.
> Study connection to Jack Northrup Class IV facility.
Pilot Scenario:
EI Segundo
> Consider feasibility of reducing speeds on Vista del Mar and
including it in the network.
> Study crossings of Sepulveda at both Maple and Mariposa.
> Consider redesigning station area at Mariposa for all modes.
> Verify route on Vista del Mar at Highland.
> Study route in light of planned changes for Raytheon site,
and other planned improvements around light rail stations in
the eastern half of the City.
Pilot Scenario:
North Redondo Transit Center to the Carson Slow
Zone
> Study intersections including 182nd street at the 405.
> Ensure the continuity of Dominguez Channel infrastructure,
especially between EI Camino college and the Metro Transit
Plaza/Green Line station.
> Study connection to EI Camino College to Dominguez
Channel.
> Study grade separations at intersections with the Dominguez
Channel.
> Study all access points to the channel, including traffic
control.
> Verify the width of Dominguez Channel ROW and engage all
issues related to designing the network on the channel.
> Consider coordination for channel maintenance, and closure
in storms.
> Anticipate environmental permitting for Dominguez Channel
path.
> Study including spurs to Dominguez Hills and Harbor
UCLA.
> Link pilot network to the Metro Silver Line.
Pilot Scenario:
San Pedro
> Coordinate with local Chamber of Commerce and other local
initiatives.
> Coordinate with current City of LA planning and
implementation, making the most of synergies with bike share,
> Ensure viable slow mode connectivity to Port o' Call/San
Pedro Public Market, requiring safe and convenient access
from the level of Old Town San Pedro down to the lower level.

Municipal Makeover
ESMoNs "Elsegundissimo" looks at ways to beautify the City of EI Segundo
by Bondo Wyszpolski
You've heard the expression. It's not what it is, but what it can be, and it's a saying that can be
applied to many things, painting a picture, for instance, writing a novel, or preparing for a dance
recital. On a larger scale, it can apply to urban planning, and that's sort of the impetus behind
"Elsegundissimo," the latest intriguing show to open at ESMoA, the EI Segundo Museum of Art.
ESMoA terms itself an art laboratory, and refers to its exhibitions as experiences. This has
translated into creative endeavors that literally go beyond the usual museum or gallery setting
and sometimes into the surrounding neighborhood as well (a redo of the former post office,
sculptures on the beach, etc.). But, apart from decorating streetlamps over the holidays, what if
the city was truly motivated to join in and, casting a wider net, to reimagine and possibly
reconfigure the mundane into the whimsically inventive?

One idea leads to another
Two years ago, ESMoA came up with the idea of soliciting proposals for ways to improve but
mainly to enhance the visual aspect of the City of EI Segundo. That is, they put the word out
and then began to collect designs and models which could be presented to the city's art and
cultural commission. According to Bernhard Zuenkeler, the curator of "Elsegundissimo," about
100 proposals were received in time to be considered for the current show, and of these about
60 were from artists. But the important thing to note right here is that the collection process is
ongoing, and that someone who wasn't aware of it before can still participate.
Regarding submissions, there can never be too many. "We believe that ideas come from ideas
Zuenkeler says, "and every idea is usually built on another idea. The thing is, ideas create
synergies among each other. If you have a little bit of a critical mass, then I think the chances of
it going somewhere will get a lot better."

If we look around the gallery, we see many possibilities for cross-fertilization. For example, one
could take the designs for oddly sculpted park benches or chairs and align them with the
models of inventive playground equipment and the artificial boulders that can be illuminated
from within. Someone else may look at these or other combinations and say, Well, what if you
add so-and-so to the mix?

If the city has an open mind
People who were tempted to submit proposals no doubt wondered what level of quality was
expected from them, but Zuenkeler says that what he and others at ESMoA were after wasn't
perfection, per se, but rather innovation. People were told not to stress over highly refined
models, although when it comes to that very few artists limit themselves, and so many of the
artworks on view are gems in themselves.
Also, as the platform rather than as the judge, it hasn't been ESMoNs intention to critically
assess the proposals. "Right now, we've just put up different ideas," Zuenkeler says. "We didn't
make a pre -selection."
But of course somebody will have to evaluate the feasibility and aesthetic of each project, so
whom might that be?
Well, at first the proposals will be voted on. "We will also ask a jury to pick three of what they
think are the best ideas. We are still putting the jury together, but the people who will be on the
jury will be meaningful people, so that you cannot really ignore their recommendation.

"But the nice thing," Zuenkeler continues, "is that we wanted to create not a top-down process
but a bottom-up process." What this means is that instead of ideas beginning with city officials
and then filtering down to committees and experts, the committees and experts will be the ones
presenting their recommendations to city officials. To put it succinctly, it begins with the artists.
In this case, the city simply needs to be open to hearing about them. Which by all accounts they
are.

"ELSEGUNDISSIMO" exhibition. (Photo by Ryan Miller/Capture Imaging)
The start of something grand?
One can see "Elsegundissimo" as the start of a beautification project, and where many of the
more modest proposals (a redecoration of benches, street signs, awnings, sidewalks, for
example) could be crowdfunded. Certain proposals may be attractive, but perhaps a little ahead
of their time. Most urban development proceeds in increments.

Just as there are advocates, there always seem to be detractors.
"Of course a lot of people will probably say, We don't want that, and we don't want that,"
Zuenkeler notes. "But I think some people will feel like, Man, this is cool."
For all that, we're still at the beginning. Over the next few weeks various panels and programs
will take place (check back on the website), so that some of these proposals, still in nascent
form today, may then emerge on a more solid footing. This is an ambitious project with perhaps
unlimited growth. In other words, round and round it goes; where it stops nobody knows.

SUBJECT: METRO TOD PLANNING GRANT APPLICATION LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR CITY OF EL SEGUNDO,
EL SEGUNDO TRANSIT CORRIDOR PLAN
Dear Ms. Portillo-Rabinov:
The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) is pleased to write a letter of support for the City of EI
Segundo's request of TOD Planning funds from Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Planning Grant Program
Round 5 for the EI Segundo Transit Corridor Plan (Specific Plan). The Specific Plan will establish transit supportive
planning elements for the eastern portion of the city along the Metro Green Line Light Rail Corridor. The areas
around the three Green Line stations located within the city - Mariposa, EI Segundo and Douglas stations - as well
as the Aviation station located just outside the city boundaries at Imperial Highway, will greatly benefit from the
development of a comprehensive community -driven transit supportive planning effort that will integrate local
and regional land use and transportation strategies, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve mobility, and
support and implement sustainable development principles. This comprehensive planning effort will provide the
community with a detailed vision and policies and regulations that ensures quality development around the transit
stations.
The planning effort will enhance the City of EI Segundo and the Metro transit system by creating a regulatory
system that promotes, encourages and supports transit ridership and the interface between public transportation
and the surrounding communities. The development and outcomes of the Specific Plan will address all of Metro's
10 transit supportive planning elements of: compact design; street and network connectivity; affordable housing;
transit prioritization, accessibility and area design; transportation demand management; complete
neighborhoods; site layout, parking layout and building design; commercial stabilization, business retention and
expansion; parking management; and pedestrian & bicycle circulation.
The SBCCOG supports the City of EI Segundo's plan to thoughtfully and proactively engage the residents,
employees, property and business owners, advocates, business groups, religious organizations, disadvantaged
and underserved communities and all other interested parties in the planning process and outcomes of the
Specific Plan. We are encouraged that the city will address the existing barriers to public transportation usage;
community -specific equity concerns; regulatory and economic limitations to developing a balanced mix of land
uses; affordability; public health disparities; pedestrian and cyclist connectivity and safety; the need for a high
quality public realm; and other critical land use and transportation policies and programs facing our community.

Re: METRO TOD Planning Grant Application Letter of Support for the City of El Segundo
Planning Effort for EI Segundo Transit Corridor Plan
Dear Ms. Portillo-Rabinov:
Continental Development Corporation (Continental) is pleased to write a letter of support for the
City of EI Segundo's request of TOD Planning funds from Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
Planning Grant Program Round 5. Continental understands that this TOD grant would provide
funding for the City's effort to develop the El Segundo Transit Corridor Plan (Specific Plan).
Continental has been a major land owner of commercial properties in EI Segundo for many
decades and supported development of the Metro Green Line from the time the project was in its
planning stage. Continental fully supports the City of EI Segundo's proposal to invest in a
planning exercise relative to transit oriented opportunities in the city. Development of Specific
Plan that establishes transit supportive planning elements for the Metro Green Line Light Rail
Corridor, namely the areas around the three Green Line stations located within the eastern portion
of the city - Mariposa, El Segundo and Douglas stations - as well as the Aviation station located
just outside the city boundaries at Imperial Highway, will greatly benefit from the development of
a comprehensive community -driven transit supportive planning effort that will integrate local and
regional land use and transportation strategies, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve
mobility, and support and implement sustainable development principles.
Our organization supports the City of EI Segundo's plan to thoughtfully and proactively engage
and collaborate with all segments of the residential and business communities and all other
interested parties in the planning process and outcomes of the Specific Plan. Continental is an
active member of the City's Economic Development Advisory Council (EDAC) which focuses
on new business attraction and business retention and expansion in the city. One of the newly
adopted focal points of the EDAC Work Plan is to utilize this same type of forward planning in
its work to enhance the economic vitality of the city. A comprehensive planning effort to provide
the community with a detailed vision that ensures quality development around transit stations will
be of great value to all segments of the community and will enhance the City of EI Segundo and
the Metro transit system.

BYLAWS
ARTICLE I — NAME
The name of this organization shall be the Technology Committee, aka ITC (Information
Technology Committee)
ARTICLE II — PURPOSE AND ROLE
Section I - General
The Technology Committee shall collaborate with City staff and the local information
technology community to identify and prioritize technology strategies and projects that are
consistent with governmental standards and improve current systems to provide the City and
the public with improved technology equipment and services. The Committee is a standing
committee that serves at the pleasure of the City Council.
The Committee shall make recommendations that balance the needs of all departments while
taking under consideration that some short-term actions may need to be postponed due to the
overarching and/or long term goals, budgetary constraints, and other priorities of the City's IT
Department.
The Committee will advise on any and all projects as requested by the City or as required per
these bylaws. However, the higher purpose of the Committee is to work in conjunction with Staff
on the key strategic needs of the City — balancing perceived and unrecognized needs with current
projects. While the Committee may be asked to advise on tactics of IT projects, it is the
fundamental purpose of the Technology Committee to understand the overarching needs of the
City and collaborate with City personnel to ensure that the total needs are met, not just the
project needs.
The Committee shall work with staff and shall submit an annual prioritized list of proposed
projects to the City Council for consideration and potential approval. The IT Director shall first
collect a list of all staff and Committee requested projects and prioritize them according to need.
The Committee shall then review the Director's list of projects and work with the Director to
finalize a list to present to the City Council for approval.
Tech Comm Bylaws 02.01.18
EEO
The Committee shall work with staff to provide quarterly reports to the Council regarding the
progress of the projects. The Committee shall not be responsible for managing the projects. The
City Manager and IT Director shall oversee staff as set forth in their respective roles for purposes
of managing projects.
With regard to projects that are anticipated to exceed $50,000, are on the annual prioritized list of
projects, or will be used by the public (residents, visitors, and businesses) the Committee shall be
involved in selection process identified in Section II. For sole source purchases in excess of
$50,000, staff shall make a presentation to the Committee as to why the purchase qualifies as a
sole source purchase. If the Committee disagrees, such will be noted in the staff report to the
Council requesting approval of the purchase. For projects that are being mandated by another
agency and the City is required to purchase a particular product, the staff shall make a
presentation to the Committee regarding the project and product. If the Committee has concerns
about the project and/or product, such concerns shall be noted in the staff report to the Council
requesting authority to purchase the product.
Section II- Technology and Software Selection Process
An immediate goal of the Committee shall be to collaborate with staff and develop a broader
technology and software selection process (TSSP), including template of a request for proposals
form (RFP) for purposes of soliciting IT equipment and services from third party vendors and
quality assurance processes. This work shall be crafted by the City and input provided by the
Committee. The RFP shall include without limitation, functional requirements, technical
requirements, vendor history, maintenance services, integration requirements, and a request for
warranty information. The process shall identify the City staff positions to be involved in the
process and also include developing a timeline for noticing proposals, for vendors to submit
proposals, for staff to evaluate proposals (including demonstrations), and for staff to provide a
recommendation to Council.
The process will also provide a list of success criteria and a functional requirement scorecard for
evaluating proposals. A potential list of viable proposers shall be identified and information
explaining if they did not submit a proposal, why not. The requirements for the TSSP in this
Section are not exhaustive as it is intended that the Committee and staff will identify other
components to include in the process. The Committee and staff shall submit the proposed TSSP
process to the City Council for approval.
The Committee shall not be involved in the drafting of specific proposals or in the ranking,
selection, or recommendation to Council of vendors. However, before proceeding to issue a
request for proposal, a subcommittee of the Committee shall review the request for proposal and
provide input with regard to whether it meets the City's request for proposals requirements.
Members of the subcommittee shall not create a quorum. This subcommittee shall also conduct a
criteria success ranking of the vendor that staff is recommending to Council that involves a
Tech Comm Bylaws 02.01.18

On February 7, 2017, City Council awarded a construction contract to Ayus & Co, Inc. (Ayus) in
the amount of $125,700 to complete the work and authorized an additional $12,570 for
construction related contingencies.
Construction began on May 11, 2017; however, by the end of May it became clear that the
Contractor was not performing the work as required by the contract documents. On
August 15, 2017 and in coordination with the City Attorney's Office, staff returned to City Council
with a Resolution to replace Ayus with Cinbad Industry, Inc. (Cinbad). Council authorized the
award of a construction contract to Cinbad for the remaining balance of $112,900; issuance of a
final payment to Ayus in the amount of $12,800 for the work completed; and the same $12,570 as
a construction contingency.
Construction resumed on October 1, 2017 and was completed by Cinbad on January 18, 2018.
A final inspection was conducted and it was determined that the project was completed per the
plans and specifications and to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department. Change orders
with Cinbad provided for repairs related to material changes, increase in tile work area, additional
electrical work, additional light installation, and various miscellaneous repairs.
Staff respectfully recommends that City Council accept the work performed by Cinbad Industry,
Inc. as complete and authorize the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion with the County
Recorder's Office.

ORIGINATED BY: John Gilmour, Senior Engineering Associateilk
REVIEWED BY: Ken Berkman, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On January 16, 2018, City Council adopted the plans and specifications for Catch Basin Connector
Pipe Screen (CPS) Improvement, Project No. PW 17-39, and authorized staff to advertise the
project for receipt of construction bids. This is year three of the City's 5 -year plan of installing
certified full capture devices on catch basins throughout the City to achieve 100% trash loading
reduction by 2020 as required by the Santa Monica Bay Nearshore and Offshore Debris Maximum
Daily Limit.
EQ
On February 6, 2018, the City Clerk received and opened three (3) bids as follows:
1. DownStream Services, Inc. $90,486
2. United Storm Water, Inc. $66,490
3. Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. $52,576
The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. Staff
checked references and the contractor's license status and found no issues. Ocean Blue has
satisfactorily completed similar projects for other public agencies, as well as the City's own catch
basin screen construction project last year.
Ocean Blue provided a cost-effective price for the scope of work compared to the budgeted
amount. Staff will monitor the project budget and performance of the Contractor during
construction to verify satisfactory work is completed and determine if the City should take
advantage of the favorable bid costs to further advance this multi-year compliance program's
work. Staff will return to Council with this request if it is determined to be in the best interest of
the City.
Staff respectfully recommends City Council award a standard Public Works Contract in a form
approved by the City Attorney to Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. in the amount of
$52,576 for Catch Basin Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) Improvement, Project No. PW 17-39, and
authorize an additional $13,124 for construction related contingencies.

APPROVED BY: Greg Carpenter, City Manager
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The El Segundo Farmer's Market is held every Thursday on Main Street between Holly and
Grand Avenues from 3:00pm to 7:00pm. At 1:00pm, Recreation & Parks Department staff begin
the process of closing Main Street to traffic, adjusting the traffic signals to flashing red, and
allow vendors to set up their booths. The current method being used by City staff to block
oncoming traffic to the Farmer's Market area consists of setting up wooden barricades and w
parking City vehicles at Main Street's intersections with Grand and Holly Avenues. L�
183
Although there have been no incidences using the current method to block off Main Street to
oncoming traffic, there are gaps that can allow a vehicle to subsequently bypass the wooden
barricades and City vehicles and enter the Farmer's Market area.
Unfortunately, over the past several years, there have been notable instances of vehicles being
driven into crowds purposely or by accident, causing injuries and deaths. While there is no
intelligence to suggest this will occur in El Segundo, it's important for the City to be cognizant
of these issues and proactively take measures to prevent them. To that end, the current Capital
Improvement Program identified the Main Street Bollard Project as one of the top priority
projects to be completed this fiscal year.
The Project includes the following improvements, per the plans and specifications:
• Installation of concrete foundations for the bollard embedment sleeves with locks
• Installation of 6 -inch diameter removable bollards
The removable bollards will be installed curb -to -curb on Main Street just north of Fire
Station #I's driveway and just south of the southerly crosswalk at Holly Avenue, thus protecting
any patrons attending the Farmer's Market. Furthermore, the proposed locations for the new
removable bollards will not conflict with an emergency vehicle entering or exiting the Fire
Station during Farmer's Market hours.
Staff met with the Downtown Committee on February 8th to present the project and discuss any
possible impacts to the downtown area. The Downtown Committee provided positive feedback
on the project and ultimately gave their approval.
Staff respectfully recommends City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the Plans
and Specifications and authorize advertising for bids. The schedule for the project is estimated
as follows:

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On September 6, 2017, City Council awarded a Public Works contract to Letner Roofing Co.
(Letner) for the Fire Station #1 Roof Replacement Project in the amount of $806,000, with
contingency of $60,000 to complete the Fire Station #1 roof, and issued a $533,000 change order
deduction to delete the Police Station from the scope, due to higher than anticipated cost (available
budget was $400,000).
Construction of the Fire Station Project began on April 24, 2017 and was completed by Letner on
August 5, 2017. 10

Given the high bid, staff brought forward a request for $200,000 of additional funding for the
Police Station Roof Replacement Project at the May 16, 2017 Mid -Year Budget Review meeting,
which City Council approved. On June 6, 2017, City Council approved a change order with Letner
for the Project in the amount of $533,000 and authorized an additional $67,000 for construction
related contingencies.
Construction of the Police Station Project began on August 31, 2017 and was completed by Letner
on January 17, 2018.
Final inspections of the work were performed and it was determined that the projects were
completed per the plans and specifications and to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department.
Change orders were necessary for repairs and/or replacement of metal pans, roofing insulation,
plumbing associated with the roof drains, skylights, and miscellaneous roof repairs.
The remaining $62,082.18 of unspent budget will be disencumbered and returned to the General
Fund.
Staff respectfully recommends that City Council accept the work performed by Letner Roofing
Co. as complete and authorize the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion with the County
Recorder's Office.
