Deput City Jerk 1 lc September 1, 1987 Honorable Mayor and Members of Regular Meeting the Hermosa Beach City Council September 8, 1987 PARKING ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF STREET DURING STREET SWEEPING HOURS Recommendation: It is recommended that City Council: 1) Receive and file this report. 2) Direct staff to prepare a list of streets to implement this program after traffic engineering is performed. Background: On August 25, 1987,'City Council requested additional information regarding: 1) Whether or not any formal action was taken to estabish parking on the opposite sides of the street during street sweeping hours of select streets in Hermosa Beach. 2) Which particular streets might be candidates for another target area for this project. Analysis: 2nd Street, 3rd Street and 7th Street allowed parking on one side of the street and prohibited parking (at all times) on the opposite side of the street. (2nd and 3rd Streets are one-way streets). Formal Action On November 13, 1986, City Council adopted Resolution No. 86-4993 to establish parking on opposite sides of the street on 2nd Street, 3rd Street and 7th Street between Pacific Coast Highway and Prospect Avenue. (See attached). Potential Additional Streets Additional streets which currently allow parking on one side of the street where parking on the opposite side of the street during street sweeping hours might be considered are as follows: Between Ardmore and Pacific Coast Highway 1st Street 2nd Street 4th Street 8th Street 1st Place 3rd Street 5th Street 21st Street Between Prospect Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway 1st Street (PCH -Barney Ct) 5th Street 6th Street 8th Street 1 • 8th Place 10th Street 17th Street 9th Street 16th Street Other Ocean Street (Aviation to 15th Street) Mira Street Lyndon Street (Monterey Blvd. to Palm) Loma Drive (Pier Avenue to 6th Street) 6th Street (Monterey to Cypress) Valley Drive Ardmore Avenue Please note, although each of the above listed streets does in fact allow parking on one side of the street only, each of these streets needs to be evaluated on an individual basis before implementing the program. It may not be desirous to allow parking on the opposite side of Valley Drive, for example, during street sweeping hours. Alternatives: Other alternatives considered by staff and available to Council are: 1. Drop this item from further consideration. 2. Modify the scope of the item. Res.-ct b ubmitted, /br4i*.Deborah M.

RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH PARKING ON OPPOSITE SIDES ,7IF.`() OF THE STREET, ON 2ND STREET, 3RD STREET AND 7TH STREET BETWEEN A> PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY AND PROSPECT AVENUE Recommendation: It is recommended that City Council (Exhibit A) to establish parking on during street sweeping hours on 2nd Street. adopt the attached resolution opposite sides of the street Street, 3rd Street and 7th Background: At the March 25, 1986, City Council meeting, staff was directed to implement a three (3) month experiment to allow parking on the opposite siSe of the street on street sweeping days on 2nd, 3rd and 7th Streets. Staff was further directed to report back to Council on the results of this experiment. Signs were ordered in April, 1986, and received approximately 8 weeks later. Residents were notified of the experiment, signage was installed and the experiment was "officially" implemented on July 7, 1986. Analysis: The following signage was installed on a three (3) month experimental basis: Street PCH to Prospect -2nd Street Existing Condition South Side -No Parking Wednesday 10 - 2 North Side -No Parking Anytime Experimental Condition Same as existing 3rd Street South Side -No Parking Anytime North Side -No Parking Thursday 10 - 2 Parking Permitted Wednesday 10 - 2 only Parking. Permitted Thursday 10 - 2 only Same as existing 7th Street South Side -No Parking Anytime North Side -No Parking Thursday.8 - 12 noon Parking Permitted Thursday 8. - noon Same as existing At the conclusion of the three (3) month period, a questionnaire (Exhibit B) was distributed to all affected residents. Because of the low response rate, staff attempted to personally contact each resident to obtain the following results regarding the experimental parking conditions: 1 Response to mailing, phone & personal contact Total # Surveys # in # Persons Street Distributed Favor Opposed Not Responding 2nd 76 41=547 0=070 35=467 3rd 76 40 = 5370 4 = 570 32 = 4270 7th 48 29=6070 1=270 18=3870 Total 200 110 = 55% 5 = 3% 85 = 427 Based upon the results indicated above, staff recommends that this parking proposal be implemented and maintained on a permanent basis. Other Alternatives: Other alternatives available to Council include the following suggestions from the affected residents: 1. Eliminate the "hours" restrictions to consider entire street sweeping "days": For example, the sign would read - "No Parking Wednesday" rather than "No Parking Wednesday 10 - 2". Analysis: Staff does not endorse this alternative, as it would force the transistion period (residents moving their vehicles from one side of the street to the other) to become effective 12 o'clock midnight. 2. Extend the hours for the convenience of working residents: For example, the sign would read - "No Parking Wednesday 8-5", rather than "No Parking Wednesday 10-2". Analysis; While this suggestion initially appeared promising, staff does not endorse this alternative for the following reasons: a. Determining "working hours" for the convenience of all would be difficult. Residents leave for and return from work at different times. Perhaps the most conservative hours would be 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.; however, this would cause the "transition period" (where vehicles are likely to be parked on both sides of the street) to be in the evening. The reduced visibility in the evening poses additional safety concerns. b. The chance of residents returning home late from work (due to traffic, etc.) to move their vehicles parked on the street is likely. Consequently, the likelihood of impeded traffic flow is increased. 2 r • • r Other Alternatives-con't. c. Most of the "working residents" who would benefit from these extended hours drive their vehicles to work. 3. Implement a one hour transition period: For example, the north side of the street might read - "No Parking Wednesday 10-3, and on the south side - "Parking Permitted Wednesday 9 - Analysis: Residents have expressed that this would allow them a "grace period" to move their vehicles. Staff does not endorse this suggestion because of the inherent safety concerns and likelihood of impeding traffic flow. 4. No change. Leave it the way it was.

Claimants mailing address is 931 6th Street, Hermosa Beach, California. 2. Notices concerning the claim should be sent to J. Darryl Nyznyk, Esq., at 116 Avenue "I", Redondo Beach, California 90277. 3. The circumstances giving rise to the claim are as follows: In November of 1986, Karen Gale submitted a request for building permit to construct a 6 unit apartment building on their property in Hermosa Beach. The city of Hermosa Beach required Mrs.. Gale to fill out an Environmental Assessment questionaire and to submit to the city's environmental hearing process. Claimant learned of the pending environmental hearing, and since he objected to the development, he appeared and objected at such hearing. • When Claimant's objections were overruled, he appealed • to the Hermosa Planning Commission who again ruled in favor of Mrs. Gale. Claimant then retained the services of the law firm of Mirassou, Nyznyk, and Edwards to determine his rights and assist him in pursuing the environmental process to its proper conclusion. J. Darryl Nyznyk, esq. of said law firm undertook to represent Claimant in such matter which was appealed to the City Council where, on February 24, 1987, the City Council stated that the city had made a mistake in proceeding on the environmental issues because a building permit did not require such a review. Claimant then filed a Superior Court action which on June 10, 1987 was ultimately determined in the city's favor, thus confirming that the city had indeed made a mistake in proceeding on•the environmental assessment issues. r 4. As a result of the city's negligence, Claimant incurred legal fees of $1,726.50 (copies of bills enclosed) up through and including the City Council Hearing of February 24, 1987. The city admitted its mistake and ordered that Claimant's appeal fees be repaid. They should now pay Claimant his legal fees incurred as a direct result of the city's negligence. 5. The negligence of the city was finally determined in the Superior Court on June 10, 1987. Date J. S. MIRASSOU J. DARRYL NYZNYK A P 0/CSINONAL CO..O. ,.ON JAMES R.

Claimant Alan Marcus was riding northbound on the bike path on his bicycle when the wheel of his bicycle came in contact with the negligently maintained portion of the bike path causing:' him to fall with great force onto the concrete surface. Such negligently maintained portion of the bike path consists of a ridge approximately 3/4 of an inch high which constitutes a great hazard to all who pass over it. Claimant Alan Marcus' medical expenses are however, are expected to be in excess of $25,000. experienced great pain and suffering due to these undetermined, Claimant has injuries. Claimant will require future medical care which includes therapy. Claimant's injuries may also be permanent in that he may continually experience pain in the area of his elbow.

Accept the preliminary design report. 2. Authorize completion of the plans and specifications using Figure #5 (Alternative #1) for Valley/Gould Ardmore. Because Council rendered a split decision on six (6) proposed motions regarding these issues, Parliamentry Procedure dictated that discussion of the item be postponed until the next council meeting (September 8, 1987) when all Councilmembers are present. Attached for your review is a copy of City Council's approved CIP's 85-102 and 85-137. Analysis: Historial Background: On March 7, 1987, Caltrans conducted a field review and subsequent environmental study of projects CIP 85-102 and 85-137. Both projects were determined to be "Catagorical Exclusions” and are therefore exempt from the public hearing process. The Planning Department was advised of this field review and concurred with the process. On April 14, 1987, the Mayor signed an agreement with Barrett Consulting Group (BCG) for design services for these two projects. BCG conducted engineering studies and calculations to substantiate their design. 1 Recommendation to Postpone Discussion Due to the citizens' and Councilmember concerns that have recently arisen, however, BCG has requested additional time to check their traffic studies, calculations, etc. Their engineering staff will be prepared to attend the City Council meeting on 9/22/87, and available to address any concerns at that time. Alternatives: Other alternatives considered by staff and available to City Council are: 1. Postpone the discussion to a later date. 2. Drop the project.` Respe��;ly ubmitted, 'Deborah M.

Slow the Flow... Impede the Speed, Please do not change anything about Gould Ave - Ardmore Valley intersection (except fill the chuck holes in the pave- ment.) a.ve- ment.) September 2, 19817 We nearby residents are the victims of of several pa -t Councils' improvemr:ent. plans. The City Made no protest wren the State created Artesia Blvd an_ extended 3.t into our City. WE DID. When the traffic"quadrupled` we we asked for a patch of little uuttons such as mark the ede--e of hiahYrays and make a. warning sound, with t`::: slowest speed limit possible, painted in Gould as it comes do - the hill. This reasonable request was ignored. Traffic speed increased greatly. NOW if we post a speed,it must be greater than then, because traffic has been going faster; That's the State's rule. We petitioned Council (100% of residnnts)when Gould Ave was strei.r'htened. "That will increase speed and AMOUNT of traffic,we said. Thele it now high speed traffic past our doors,all day,a.nd night. All the bar traffic from Hermosa. and Redondo must go under my bedroom window from 1:30 to 2:30 in the morning. When the center line was moved two to rout feet closer to our doors. W e went (the whole block)"kicking and screaming", to the City. Mayor Warks care out to see what we were talking about, and next day had a siY foot wide,. stripped, "spite fence" painted alnng i" front of our houses.''It's a. bike path he said. "There is no Bikr Path there", we complained. The result of this "art work" was that the Mira Costa kids still biked on the other side of the street, or outside the "fence" because they didn't know what the stripes were. This garish atrocity remained until the street was reslurried, but AGAIN at that time we asked that the center rlinebe coved back, se tra.$`ic would have to make a little jog at 27th. That Y;_;7. one of the slowing factors we had had, before the cone, tete, asphalt' happy City engineers had improved Hermosa Ra- Streets.) Then, another City Official, wishing to route tn;affic away from his home on Hermosa Ave, routed traffic north on Hermosa Ave, UP 27th, so only the very alert see'they CAN go through to Manhattan Beach. (This pink monstrosity has not been kept in repair by subsequent street departments, and requests from citizens are ignored.)WE in• notthwest'.* Henosa protested this rerouting. Can the money '{burning a hole in our pockets" be spent to repa5r asphalt:., put stop signs at every other -corner from Longfellow to Pier, put a warning patch of buttons in Gould up on the hill, and along- 27th St coming up from the beach, reline Gould Ave beginning measurinent at South east corner, replace Gould Ave's "dip" and its sign, route bar traffic from tier up Pier Ave,.take out the blocked streets which have increased traffic on Gould and Va11ey92979 PLEASE1if not, send the money back.

HIGHLAND AVENUE A. Existing Conditions Highland Avenue is a residential street thirty feet wide with curbs, a five foot wide park strip and a five foot wide sidewalk. The right-of-way from Longfellow Street to Thirty - Third Street is 50 feet wide and from Thirty -Third Street to Thirty-fifth Street it is 60 feet wide. The project limits shown on Figure 1 are from the Hermosa Beach -Manhattan Beach City Boundary on Thirty-fifth Street to Longfellow Street. The purpose of this project is to widen Highland to provide two traffic lanes and two parking lanes in each direction. B. Proposed Improvements The proposed improvements include widening Highland Avenue to 40 feet by removing the existing curbs, park strips and sidewalks and installing new curb and gutter five feet from the existing curbs, paving the roadway and installing new sidewalks. Typical sections of the proposed improvements are shown on Figure 2. In order to accomplish the widening project it will be necessary to relocate utilities within the right-of-way. These include water meters, power/teler_hone poles, gas meters, cable television junction boxes and sanitary sewer facilities. Preliminary contact with all affected utilities has been made and preliminary design documents will be sent to them for review and comment. It will be necessary for the various utilities to relocate their respective facilities to accommodate the proposed improvements. The only exception to this is the sanitary sewer along Highland. This sewer relocation will be designed as a part of the street widening. It is proposed to relocate the sewer from the east curb line to the center of the roadway. The proposed relocation is shown on Figure 3. Existing drainage patterns will be maintained. There are no existing catch basins or inlets on Highland Avenue and none are proposed for this project. Street lighting will be maintained on relocated Marbolite Type 56D6 power poles. The roadway surface will be constructed of asphalt concrete pavement, minimum two inches thick. Pavement will be placed over existing pavement and/or six inches of aggregate base. Curbs will be six inches high with an integral 24 inch gutter. New sidewalks will be portland cement concrete, four inches thick. (74000-PDR/Misc. 9) -1- 7/14/87 PART 2. GOULD - VALLEY - ARDMORE INTERSECTION A. Existing Conditions Valley Drive and Ardmore Avenue are parallel streets separated by a 100 foot median that originally was a railroad right-of-way. The two roadways, Ardmore Avenue and Valley Drive 30 and 40 feet wide, respectively, and povide two lane, two way traffic. Gould Avenue also is a two lane, two way street and the intersection of Gould with Valley and Ardmore results in two-four way stop intersections within one hundred feet of each other. At each of the four-way stops, all possible turning movements are permitted. This results in confusion as to which vehicle has the right-of-way and in delays, particularly for vehicles making right turns. The purpose of this project is to provide channelization at each four-way stop to help eliminate driver confusion and reduce delays for all vehicles. B. Proposed Improvements Two alternatives have been developed to improve the flow of traffic through this intersection. The first alternative essentially maintains the status quo as far as turning movements. It provides channelization for right turns for northbound traffic on Valley and Ardmore, a left turn lane from Westbound Gould onto Valley and for right turns from southbound Ardmore onto Gould. c-ha-nge in---exist-i-ng=- =t-u-r--n-ing mo errrean-ts = s -__-a= rest-riction--o.n_ left__ turns -from -eastbound-__Gouad rL -onto northbound -Ardmore. The second alternative provides the same right -turn channelization as above and, in addition, restricts Gould, between Valley and Ardmore to through and right turns only. The first alternative would require additional pavement on Gould between Valley and Ardmore. The second alternative can be constructed between existing curbs. A third alternative, not designed or sketched due to the magnitude of its impacts, is to convert Valley to one-way traffic southbound and to convert Ardmore to one-way traffic northbound. This would reduce the number of potential turning movements from 24 to 16, thus eliminating confusion and delay.

CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH GOULD INTERSECTION (FXISTINGI FIGURE4 •• L To The City Council: Jim Lissner 2715 El Oeste Hermosa Beach August 24, 1987 On Tuesday August 25 you will vote about reconstruction of the Gould/Valley/Ardmore intersection. You have Federal road money which must be spent soon or will be lost, so your consultant has drawn up two proposed plans. Copies of those plans are attached. Your staff favors the plan called alternate number 1 and has written a resolution providing for the acceptance of alternate 1 by the yourselves. It is item lz. on Tuesday's Consent Calendar. Either alternate 1 or 2 will increase traffic volume through the intersection, with resulting increases to the noise, soot and noxious gases in the neighborhood, which is entirely R1. If someone tries to tell you that improving the intersection's capacity will shorten the lines during rush hour and decrease congestion, please don't accept that argument. What actually will happen is that the moment that the delay gets perceptibly shorter, new commuters will adopt Gould/Valley/Ardmore as their permanent route and the delay will build back to its present level. Why? Because the Gould/Valley/Ardmore intersection will be attractive so long as the delay is perceived to be any less than the one on PCH. So, after the improvements to the intersection we will be left with the same delay and a higher volume! There's another non -valid argument for improving the intersection. It's the traffic engineering approach. They've recently gone out and make traffic counts (rubber hoses across the road) and now wish to justify making the intersection wider because it is has heavy traffic. Ordinarily the engineers work on the assumption that the heavy traffic needs to be there, has no other logical route, so the road should be -improved to serve the ddmand. In the case of Gould/Valley/Ardmore it's been proven otherwise. In September 1980 our City, with CalTrans' assistance, did the "Traffic Circulation Study," which included a thorough survey, at several intersections in the city, of motorists' origins and destinations. One of these intersections was Gould/Valley/Ardmore. For traffic southbound on Valley Drive at Gould, the survey found "51 percent of respondents indicated that they neither live nor work in Hermosa Beach, but they use this route daily." (page 95) For traffic southbound on Ardmore at Gould, the survey said "47 percent of the respondents who travel southbound on Ardmore Avenue daily had an origin and destination outside of the Hermosa Beach city boundaries." (page 98) For traffic westbound on Gould (at Ardmore), the survey said that 39% of these motorists "would prefer to use an operationally improved Pacific Coast Highway instead of their present route..." (page 89) (Note that they were westbound on Gould.) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION Z Our current General Plan, formulated years ago, provides measures that were meant to protect us from this invasion by PCH traffic. An example is the provision for two left turns on westbound Artesia at PCH. Despite a failed attempt, CalTrans says they still can make this modification, but only if Hermosa Beach will remove parking from the west side of PCH. (letter, CalTrans to Anthony Antich, Director of Public Works, May 28, 1985) You have recently requested a study of the environmental impact of removing the parking - so there's the possibility that a year from now we may have two left turns at PCH. Since there is a better chance that we'll never have the two left turns (and other measures to discourage the through flow north -south on Valley and Ardmore), I am asking you to NOT go ahead now and encourage even more traffic through our neighborhood. BUT, someone will say, if we delay, we will lose the Federal money, and the intersection definitely needs re -paving... In answer to this, you'll find attached a third alternate plan. It provides for a smaller intersection than exists now, with no left turn pockets or long right turn lanes, and with reasonable turn restrictions that will still allow Hermosa residents to get to and from home (in contrast to alternate 2's absurd prohibition of left turns from westbound Gould onto Valley). While alternate 3 doesn't cater to an increased traffic volume, it still provides a safe intersection, with better alignment, clear channelization of traffic and an improved road surface. We do not owe out-of-towners an interchange! Please re -build the intersection smaller, or not at all!

Upon successful production and testing (for 3-9 months of these three wells, the applicant proposes to drill up to 0 (total) •il wells from the City yard site. The wells will be directionally drilled and completed either onshore or slant drilled to tidelands (bottom hole locations) at an approximate vertical depth of 4000± feet. 2.2 Location and Boundaries The proposed oil drilling and production site of one acre which is located on the 1.3± -acre existing maintenance yard for the City. The drillsite is located at 555 Sixth Street at the northwest intersection of Valley Drive at Sixth Street in Hermosa Beach. Figure 1 shows the regional and vicinity location of the site. The drillsite will be accessed via drives located along Valley Drive and Sixth Street. Regional access will be Pacific Coast Highway via Herondo Street to the south. 2.3 Project Characteristics 2.3.1 Site Preparation Existing roadways will be utilized for the movement of drilling -related vehicles and equipment to and from the site. The site will be graded as necessary to accommodate the placement of drilling machinery. Normal wetting procedures will be utilized throughout the grading period. Upon completion of grading, the drillsite would be compacted and all graded surfaces covered with a compacted 4 to 6 -inch gravel base. --474f-4'9772 -.

During this phase, drilling and testing equipment will be installed including an electrically -powered drilling rig with sound- proofing. The sound attenuating cover will meet standards as identi- fied in Oil Ordinance Sections 21A-6.2 and 6.3. Temporary production facilities, adequate to accommodate the production of three wells, will also be installed. All structures on-site would be built to meet City and State fire, safety and seismic standards. A concrete block wall (6 feet high) and foliage will be installed along Valley Drive. As needed around the perimeter, a temporary non -transparent fence with foliage and watering system will be set in place. A 3 A It is anticipated that all equipment would be transported to the site by truck. During this phase, an average of five and a maximum of seven heavy-duty, diesel -powered trucks would enter/exit the site per day except for in the event of an emergency. Initial site preparation activities including fencing are anticipated to last 4 weeks. 2.3.2 Exploratory Operations Three exploratory wells will be drilled upon the completion of site preparation. The wells will be drilled to bottom -hole at the perceived best subsurface location. Drilling operations will be conducted continuously (24 -hours a day) until the well is completed. However, deliveries via heavy-duty trucks will be limited to Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays, between the hours of 8 AM and 7 PM as per Oil Ordinance Section 21A-2.10. Drilling of explora- tory wells is anticipated to last three months. Ancillary support equipment will be powered either with electricity or natural gas obtained during drilling/production operations. Upon completion of drilling, the wells will be placed on production for an evaluation period which may last from 3 to 9 months. All drilling operations will be in compliance with applic- able regulations of the State Department of Conservation, Division of Oil and Gas. All safety and blowout prevention equipment will be of latest oil/gas industry standards. Production obtained during the exploratory operations will be temporarily held on-site (City Yard) in tanks adequate to accommo- date up to 600 barrels per day each of oil and water. Oil will be trucked off-site and water will be discharged into the City system. 4 During the exploratory phase, it is anticipated that an average of fifteen* and a maximum of eighteen heavy-duty trucks will enter/exit the site per day. 2.3.3 Site Conversion Upon completion of exploratory activities and/or the determination that commercially producible quantities of oil can be obtained from this location, site conversion operations to permanent facilities will commence. This would generally be subsequent to the drilling and testing of the three exploratory wells (or 4 to 12 months) from the commencement of drilling. The necessary well cellars, production facilities and pipelines will be installed_ prior to additional drilling. As per Oil Ordinance Section 21A -2.9C, a minimum six-foot wall of solid masonry or concrete construction or comparable with solid gates will be installed. Landscaping and an irrigation system wi t installed outside the fence/wall perimeter. A Production Operations/Permanent Facilities An electrically -powered drilling rig ill be utilized to drill additional wells for a total of up to 30 wells. Approximately four weeks will be required for the drilling of each well. The drill rig will be aesthetically camouflaged. Permanent production facilities will be installed for up to to thirty wells. The permanent facilities will include the following equipment: * Assumes 11 trucks to accommodate transport of oil and water, 1-2 trucks to transport wastes and mud cuttings, 1-2 trucks to transport gas and 1-3 trucks for miscellaneous pick-ups/de- livery. 5 A a) Stock tanks (two) b) Wash tank (one) c) Waste water tank (one) d) Test tank with leader manifold (one) e) Fire water Kenockort vessel (one) f) Gas compressor (one) g) Gas fired oil/gas separator (one) Submergible electrical pumps will be used until the pro- duction characteristics of the well indicate that it is advisable to change to conventional electrical beam pumping units. Figure 2 indicates a potential site configuration. Landscaping will be provided to limit visibility from all abutting properties and tra- vellers along the street. Recovered oil and gas will be taken off-site via pipeline. The new pipeline routewill lead inland towards the Chevron refinery via Valley Drive to Herondo Street to Prospect where it will connect with existing facilities. Figure 3 shows proposed pipeline route. Portable rigs will be used for well work -over operations as required for well maintenance throughout the life of each well. These operations will be limited to Monday through Saturday, exclud- ing legal holidays, between the hours of 8 AM and 7 PM (Section 21A -2.10G). Heavy-duty trucks access to/from the site will be limited to between 8 AM and 7 PM daily. 2.3.5 Site Restoration/Well Abandonment If the drilling results are not as anticipated, the City yard will be turned back to the City, if the City so desires, or wells will be abandoned and the City yard will be returned to its 6 IREgn 237 • Source: TRIAD DESIGN ASSOCIATES, INC.

A consolidated drillsite location (or alternative project configur- ation) would attain. the basic objectives of the proposed project and would be in accord with the above referenced ordinance section. It is anticipated that an alternative project concept could minimize drilling times, reduce operation costs and maximize the efficiency of production. In this alternative scenario, all the exploratory drilling and temporary production testing will be conducted at the City yard site. If the exploratory drilling and temporary production testing prove unsuccessful, the project will be abandoned at this stage, whereas if the drilling and production prove to be successful, permanent tanks and production separation facilities will be in- stalled at the School yard site. Statement of Objectives The applicant proposes to initially drill up to six explor- atory oil wells from the City (Hermosa Beach) yard. Upon successful production and testing (for 3-9 months) of these exploratory oil wells, the applicant proposes to drill up to 30 (total) oil wells from the City yard site and install permanent tanks and production separation facilities at the School District school yard site. The wells from the City yard site will be directionally drilled and completed either onshore or slant drilled to tidelands (bottom hole locations) at an approximate vertical depth of 4000± feet. Location and Boundaries The proposed drilling site is located on a 1.0 -acre main- tenance yard for the City of Hermosa Beach at 555 Sixth Street and the northwest intersection of Valley Drive and Sixth Street in Hermosa Beach and the permanent tanks and production separation facility site is located one block south on a 1.0 acre school yard site owned by the Hermosa Beach School District. The City yard drillsite, is the only designated and approved site for slant drill- ing of the tideland wells (State waters) from within the City; therefore, drilling will occur from this location. The School yard production facility site is located at 425 Valley Drive. Figure 1 shows the vicinity and the location of both sites. Access to the drilling and production sites will be Valley Drive by way of Herondo Street via Pacific Coast Highway (PCH). Project Characteristics a. Site Preparation Existing roadways will be utilized for both the City yard and School yard sites for the movement and location of drilling equipment and installation of production facilities. The site surfaces will be graded as necessary, after which both will be covered with a 4-6 inch gravel base. Normal wetting methods during surface grading and site preparation will be utilized. Site preparation for the exploratory drilling phase at the City yard site will be in accord with the City Oil Ordinance which requires at a minimum: - Setbacks adequate to accommodate all vehicles enter- ing/exiting the drillsite to stop or park without extending into the public street or right-of-way (Sec. 21A -2.5B); C 2 i}#.11 1E-71:01 .e.,A1017 f* CIT r of .,f f .4,,z,! 4 rr,.t ✓ M d..t,cA"WOir.,vr.( or r-4 Y )r•11..( - 4(.TCW..e ro,r 1, pro 41 rc IO�c 7'D .st NZ .4c .a V 2 r4.( 4 s�r�riz..ro C.ve.t ref -v rr) vi4tr .74 AVOW -•tr Source: HERMOSA BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE C 3 Title: REGIONAL LOCATION AND VICINITY MAP ALTERNATE PROJECT CONCEPT C - installation of portable sanitary facilities (Sec. 21A -2.7B); lights shall be shielded or directed so as to confine rays to the drillsite (Sec. 21A -2.7C); - installation of best available technology vibration equipment (Sec. 21A -2.7D); - all site work and delivery of equipment will be conducted Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays, between the hours of 8 AM and 7 PM (Sec. 21A-2.8); - all drilling -related equipment will be stored within a fenced area within the drillsite (Sec. 21A -2.9B). fencing and landscaping as required by the City.

The drilling rig will be equipped with sound attenuating equipment which will meet the noise standards as identified in Oil Ordinance Sections 21A-6.2 and 6.3. It is contemplated that the City Garage/Repair and Animal Control/Holding facility will be relocated off-site. Relocation mitigation measures will be addressed in the EIR. Temporary production facilities, adequate to accommodate the production of up to six wells (1200 barrels per day), will also be installed at the City yard. All structures on-site would be built to meet City, State and industry fire and safety standards. A concrete block wall (6 feet high) and foliage will be installed along Valley Drive. On an as needed basis as determined by the City, the rest of the perimeter will be enclosed with a temporary non -trans- parent fence with accompanying foliage and watering system. It. is anticipated that all equipment would be transported to the site by truck. The site preparation activities will be completed in 4 weeks. During this phase, an average of five and a 4 maximum of seven heavy-duty, diesel -powered trucks would enter/exit the site per day except for in the event of an emergency. The truck deliveries will be scheduled so that they do not coincide with peak hour traffic. b. Exploratory Operations Up to six exploratory wells will be drilled upon the completion of site preparation. The wells will be drilled to bottom - hole at the perceived best subsurface location. Drilling operations will be conducted continuously (24 -hours a day) until the well is completed. However, deliveries via heavy-duty trucks will be limited to Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays, between the hours of 8 AM and 7 PM as per Oil Ordinance Section 21A-2.10. Drilling of exploratory wells is anticipated to last three months. Upon comple- tion of drilling, the wells will be placed on production testing for 3 to 9 months. Figure 2A shows the preliminary configuration of the exploratory drilling and temporary production testing equipment at the City yard site. Ancillary support equipment will be powered either with electricity or natural gas obtained during drilling/production operations. All drilling operations will be in compliance with applic- able regulations of the State Department of Conservation, Division of Oil and Gas. All necessary permits will be obtained from the SCAQMD* and other agencies before the drilling of the first well. The safety and blowout prevention equipment will be of latest oil/gas industry standards. * South Coast Air Quality Management District. C 5 As per Oil Ordinance Section 21A -2.9C, a minimum six-foot wall of solid masonry or concrete construction or comparable with solid gates will be installed at both sites.

Approve a contract addendum with Specialty Maintenance Company for the provision of municipal pier maintenance. 2. Appropriate $19,825 from the General Fund fund balance to Parks Division, Contract Services for pier maintenance services. Background: On July 1, 1987, the Public Works Department took over maintenance of the municipal fishing pier. Since that time, the Department has tried scheduling various times for maintenance work to accommodate the visitors and fishermen on the pier. The best time to perform the work is early a.m. before people arrive at the pier, since our maintenance work (hosing down, etc.) causes an inconvenience to the public. To meet this demand additional help is needed. Analysis: This analysis will consider the following options: 1. General discussion. 2. In-house service. 3. Contract service. 4. Summary & Fiscal Impact. 5. Conclusion. 1. General Discussion The Public Works Department has been performing maintenance of the municipal fishing pier since July 1, 1987. The work was previously performed by Los Angeles County. Because of the nature of the maintenance work, City crews start at 6:00 a.m. (as a convenience to those who use the pier). This is 1-1/2 hours before normal start time (7':30 a.m.), hence making this mandatory overtime work for the crew. I have talked with the crewleader and superintendent regarding this matter and the thinking is: 1. The mandatory overtime is wearing on the individuals assigned to pier maintenance. 2. The amount of time necessary to maintain the pier causes other maintenance areas within the Parks Division to receive less time and attention. Attached is a list of those 1 ik activities receiving less attention. 3. Additional help is needed to continue to provide an adequate level of service for both the pier and the other park maintenance activities. Consistent with City Council goal #45 to investigate contracting out other services, an opportunity exists to compare the cost of expanding the current in-house staff or contracting for this service. Lowest cost to the City should be the determining factor. 2. In -House Service Several options are available for continued in-house services. OPTION NO. 1 CONTINUE TO WORK CREWS ON OVERTIME. DISCUSSION: Typically, a crew consists of one Maintenance I and one Maintenance II position. The positions are currently filled and paid at a Step E pay rate. I cannot recommend this option.

This contract was entered into on March 22, 1983, and is scheduled to expire on March 23, 1988. The service downtown has been good. Specialty Maintenance has provided a cost for pier maintenance services through the end of their current contract. For comparison purposes, the annual contract service cost is calculated as follows: April 1, 1987 to October 30, 1987 $2,101 per month = $14,707 November 1, 1987 to March 30, 1988 $1,664 per month = 8,320 $23,027 ANALYSIS: 1.

A potential funding source is the General Fund fund balance. Budget Calculation: September 1 to October 30, 1987 $2,101 per month $ 4,202 November 1 to March 30, 1988 * $1,664 per month 8,320 April 1, 1988 to June 30, 1988 $2,101 per month 6,303 $19,825 * Contract actually ends March 23, 1988, but budgeting requires full year. 5. Conclusion The lowest cost to perform this work is by contract service, resulting in a cost savings of at least $5,000 when compared to in-house service. Alternatives: Other alternatives considered by staff and available to City Council are: 1. Consider in-house when the current contract expires. 2. Change working hours for parks crew to eliminate overtime cost, but only after discussion with bargaining group. 3. Contract other activities. 4. Reduce the level of service for all Park Division activities.

BACKGROUND: Staff was directed to prepare an ordinance similar to an ordinance adopted by the City of Los Angeles addressing warning signs in business establishments dispensing and or providing the sale of alcoholic beverages. ANALYSIS: This issue has been under appeal to the California Supreme Court. The action was brought forth by the California Restaurant Association contesting the constitutionality of the Los Angeles ordinance. The appeal was just recently denied as the California Supreme Court let stand a ruling by a state court of appeal upholding the measure as legally valid.

Adopt the attached ordinance making it unlawful to brandish or use a replica firearm or simulate a firearm in an assault- ing or threatening manner. ABSTRACT: This ordinance is presented as an emergency measure and will become effective, upon adoption, immediately. BACKGROUND: Due to the recent rash of incidents on Los Angeles freeways and highways involving real and simulated firearms, legislators have found that there is no current law prohibiting misuse of replica firearms, etc. As a result, prosecutors have recommended adoption of such regulations until the state addresses the issue. On August 25, 1987, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors adopted an urgency ordinance (No. 87-0145u, attached.) They also urged each city within Los Angeles County to enact a similar ordinance as soon as possible. ANALYSIS: Presently, there is no law or regulation prohibiting brandishing a replica firearm or simulating a firearm in an assaultive or threatening manner. Adoption of this ordinance as an emergency measure will allow our police to charge a person violating the law with a misdemeanor. Ultimately, the state legislature must address this issue for its statewide impact. UR: Steve r iewski Public Safety Director Gre Cit ory (T T. Manage ere submitted, Cap'ain John .'

LJM:r17:L19 Enclosure Very truly yours, at i& TEILH FICER Honorable Mayor and Members of the Hermosa Beach City Council September 1, 1987 Regular Meeting of September 8, 1987 Addendum to Staff Report for Text Amendment for Open Space Definition, Location, and Computation Recommendation 1. Review the attached examples of meeting Open Space requirements under the Staff's recommendation. 2. Refer to the -Planning Commission for study allowing an exception to the Open Space requirements in the R-1 Zone for small lots. Background The Planning Commission liaison has noted to Staff that more diagrams were needed to show the difficulty of providing open space under the Staff's recommendation for small, lots which front on the Strand, narrow alleys, or front on a street and alley and prefer to have the parking off the alley, thus not removing any on -street parking because of curb cuts. Analysis Staff agrees that smaller lots may have difficulties meeting the Open Space requirements especially in conjunction with the 17' parking setback. However, by examining the first 3 examples of 3 typical size lots in the City with frontage on a walk street, Strand, or street, and with a minimum 20' wide alley to the rear, it can be seen that all three lots could provide the required Open Space for the most part without utilizing the required setbacks. The only difficulty based on the attached diagrams is that the thickness if the garage walls on 30' lots would result in slightly less than a'minimum 10' dimension. However, Staff believes some exception could be given for smaller lots, particularly those that abut 10' or 15' wide alleys (see example 4). Ideally parking should be accessed via alleys so that on -street parking is not lost because of curb -cuts. Also, on small lots the minimum width for open space could be reduced. However, if an exception is given for open space, no variance to the 17' parking setback should be allowed, since it should not be difficult on any lot except for the extremely small lots to meet the setback requirements with an exception to the Open Space requirements. It is probably impossible to have an ordinance which applies to all different size and shape lots within the City without a need for variances. The variance procedure is available for exactly this reason. - 1 - .5 z f } In regards to exception for Open Space requirements in other zones, Staff does not believe that it is necessary since the ordinance already allows balconies and decks to count toward Open Space and that is in itself an exception.

Staff Recommendation The Staff is recommending the same ordinance as the Planning Commission except that in the R-1 zone, only the required rear yard could be counted toward a portion of the required Open Space, and the current ground level/deck, balcony Open Space ratio of 75% and 257 respectively would be maintained. In the R-2, R -2B, and R-3 Zones, no required yard areas could be counted toward Open Space. Background At the March 3, 1987 meeting, the Planning Commission requested that Open Space requirements be studied. Analysis R-1 ZONE: When analyzing Open Space in relation to lot sizes, the whole spectrum,from the small to the large lots should be examined. In analyzing the Planning Commission recommendation, it can be seen that concern for the smaller size lots was given but not for the larger lots. Staff examined the recently constructed single family development at the old Prospect Heights School site. Those 25'x100' lots have 575 square feet of ground level Open Space in the rear yard and a front setback ranging from 17 feet to 20 feet; the floor area of these units is over 2,200 square feet. Staff contacted a local real estate agent for their opinion as to the amount of floor area that is considered minimally desirable; 1800 square feet was indicated. Staff has also prepared examples `(see attachments) of both the Staff's and Planning Commission's recommendations in relation to various sized lots. It can be seen from these examples that lots of 4000 square feet, or greater, in the R-1 Zone would literally - 1 - i�• need no Open Space whatsoever under the Planning Commission recommendation; by allowing the front setback to be used for Open Space, there is no need for a rear yard. Under Staff's recommendation, a minimum 10 foot rear yard could be provided, and the potential floor area would be 4,661 square feet. There was concern that along walk streets, there would be a problem providing the required Open Space. However, as Staff indicated there are no R-1 Zones along walk streets and only a small northernmost part of the Strand has small R-1 Zoned lots. Staff examined two other typical, small size lots, 30'x70' and 30'x80', and found that the Staff's recommended requirements could be met, and a potential 1,934 square feet of floor area could be constructed on the 30'x70' lots and 2,136 square feet on the 30'x80'lots. R-2, R -2B, and R-3 Zone: In these zones, the Planning Commission's recommendation is to allow one of the setbacks to be counted toward Open Space if it has a minimum dimension of 7 feet. The result of this standard, for example, on a 40x100 square foot, R-3 zoned lot would be one side yard, 7 feet wide; one 7'x100' long side yard would provide more than the minimum 600 square feet of Open Space needed for 3 units. Obviously, a 7 foot side yard would not provide any visible or useable Open Space, and would most likely be nothing more than the walkway to the units. Currently the Zoning Ordinance allows decks and balconies to be counted toward Open Space. Staff believes that to allow yard areas to be included also would render the Open Space requirement almost worthless. Attachments 1. Planning Commission recommended Ordinance 2.

PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this day of August, 1987. PRESIDENT of the City Council Hermosa Beach, California. ATTEST: CITY CLERK and MAYOR o the City of BACKGROUND MATERIAL Honorable Chairman and Members of the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission May 25, 1987 Regular Meeting of June 2, 1987 Unfinished Business (continued from 5/19/87 Meeting SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT; OPEN SPACE DEFINITION, LOCATION AND COMPUTATION APPLICANT: PLANNING COMMISSION -INITIATED Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the attached Resolution recommending an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance in regard to the definition, location and computation of Open Space. Background On March 3, 1987, the Planning Commission directed Staff to clarify what is usable Open Space. On May 7, 1987, the Staff Environmental Review Committee reviewed the proposed amendment and recommended a Negative Declaration. On May 19, 1987, the Planning Commission continued this matter because of several issues which needed clarification. Also at that meeting, in regard to a separate matter, the issue of deck areas over more than one dwelling unit was discussed. Clarification The following addresses the issues raised at the May 19th meeting: R-1 ZONE OPEN SPACE ALONG WALK STREETS: There is virtually no R-1 zones along the walk streets. Therefore, the concern for use of the front yards for Open Space is moot. Further, a good example of what can be built in the R-1 Zone is the new units on the Prospect Heights school property. Those 25' x 100' lots have 575 square feet of ground level Open Space in the rear yard and 17 to 20 foot front setbacks; the floor area of these units is over 2200 square feet. Staff believes that 2200 square feet of floor area is more than adequate. Smaller lots, of course, may have less obtainable floor area, but this only seems logical. If a lot was so small that an adequate size dwelling could not be constructed, it would be ripe for a zone variance. CURRENT ORDINANCE: Attached is a comparison chart showing the current ordinance and what is proposed. In summary, the changes are to provide an Open Space general definition, exclude yard areas as countable Open Space, allow private Open Space over living areas, and to provide a method of counting unusually shaped Open Space areas. DECKS OVER MORE THAN ONE UNIT: Concern was expressed about the noise factor when a deck is extended over more than one dwelling unit. Staff believes that a deck so described constitutes a "stacked unit" and therefore, requires a ceiling/floor sound attenuation of 58 S.T.C. even though the space is not counted toward any Open Space requirements. Analysis GENERAL DEFINITION: Currently, the Zoning Ordinance does not have a specific definition of Open Space, and in some instances, it has been necessary to interpret what is Open Space in conjunction with residential developments. Under the proposed definition, Open Space is area free and clear from ground to sky unless otherwise specified which means that balconies and decks can continue to be counted toward Open Space if it is so stated. This definition is the traditional definition of Open Space and is useful in conjunction with the Open Space Zone as well as with residential development. COMPUTATION and LOCATION: Clarification as to what is countable toward Open Space is also needed. Currently, Staff has been counting the entire required yard areas if the yard areas had the minimum required dimensions for Open Space. This situation has resulted in developments having nothing more than an extra wide side yard with no beneficial impact. Since the Ordinance does allow decks and balconies to count toward Open Space and allows 657 lot coverage (many cities allow 40%), the yard areas should not be counted toward Open Space. However, counting those areas that exceed the required yard area when the entire yard equals the minimum dimension for Open Space should be allowed. This computation therefore, would still benefit developments with larger yard areas. PRIVATE OPEN SPACE: Currently, the Ordinance includes balconies or decks over non -living areas. This requirement has been, for example, a balcony with only interior access from one dwelling unit. Staff believes that areas which have interior access solely through a dwelling unit should be allowed over living area of the unit from which it is accessible. For example, a second story balcony may be over the living room of the dwelling unit. Common Open Space should continue to be over non -living areas. CIRCULAR, TRIANGULAR and ODD SHAPED AREAS: Many times unusually shaped areas are difficult to determine as to whether they meet the Open Space requirements. For example, a circular Open Space area may have a minimum dimension of 7 feet; however, the dimension is actually the diameter and is much less in square feet than a square which has 7 foot dimensions. 6 C Staff believes that an Open Space area of this type should have at least 49 square feet as well as having a 7 foot dimension since any square or rectangular area would have to have 49 square feet of area if it met the minimum 7 feet Open Space dimension. Areas less than 49 square feet are hardly usable as Oepn Srace. 7 Mich el Schubach Planning Director C COMPARISION CHART CURRENT General None c PROPOSED Definition of Open Space Section 272.

On March 3, 1987, the Planning Commission directed staff to clarify what is usable open space. On May 7, 1987, the staff environmental review committee reviewed the proposed amendment and recommended a negative declaration. On May 19, 1987, the Planning Commission continued this matter because of several issues which needed clarification. Also at that meeting, in regard to a separate matter, the issue of deck areas over more than one dwelling was discussed. r � r PLANNING COMMIS51..)N MINUTES - JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 3 Mr. Schubach clarified several issues raised at the meeting of May 19, 1987: R-1 Zone Open Space Along Walk Streets: There are virtually no R-1 zones along the walk streets. Therefore, the concern for use of the front yards for open space is moot. Further, a good example of what can be built in the R-1 zone is the new units on the Prospect Heights school property. Those 25- by 100 -foot lots have 575 square feet of ground -level open space in the rear yard and 17- to 20 -foot setbacks; the floor area of these units is over 2200 square feet. Staff believes that 2200 square feet of floor area is more than adequate. Smaller lots, of course, may have less obtainable floor area, but this only seems logical. If a lot was so small that an adequate -sized dwelling could not be constructed, it would be ripe for a zone variance. Current Ordinances: A comparison chart showing the current ordinance and what is being proposed was prepared and provided to the Cu►;►►uissioners. In summary, the changes are to provide an open space general definition, exclude yard areas as countable open space, allow private open space over living areas, and provide a method of counting unusually -shaped open space areas. Decks Over More Than One Unit: Concern was expressed over the noise factor when a deck is extended over more than one dwelling unit. Staff believes that a deck so described constitutes a "stacked unit" and therefore requires a ceiling/floor sound attenuation of 58 S.T.C., even though the space is not counted toward any open space requirements. Currently, the zoning ordinance does not have a specific definition of open space, and in some cases, it has been necessary to interpret what is open space in conjunction with residential developments. Under the proposed definition, open space is area free and clear from ground to sky unless otherwise specified, which means that balconies and decks can continue to be counted toward open space if it is so stated. This definition is the traditional definition of open space and is useful in conjunction with the open space zone as well as with residential development. Clarification as to what is countable toward open space is also needed. Currently, staff has been counting the entire required yard areas if the yards areas had the minimum required dimensions for open space. This situation has resulted in developments having nothing more than an extra wide side yard with no beneficial impact. Since the ordinance does allow decks and balconies to count toward open space and allows 65% lot coverage (many cities allow 40%), the yard areas should not be counted toward open space. However, counting those areas that exceed the required yard area should be allowed. This computation, therefore, would still benefit developments with larger yard areas. Currently, the ordinance includes balconies or decks over non -living areas. This requirement has been, for example, a balcony with only interior access from one dwelling unit. Staff believes that areas which have interior access solely through a dwelling unit should be allowed over living area of the unit from which it is accessible. For example, a second -story balcony may be over the living room of the dwelling unit. Common open space should continue to be over non -living areas. Many times unusually -shaped areas are difficult to determine as to whether they meet the open space requirements. For example, a circular open space area may have a PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 4 minimum dimension of seven feet; however, the dimension is actually the diameter and is much less in square feet than a square which has seven -foot dimensions. Staff believes that an open space area of this type should have at least 49 square feet as well as having a seven -foot dimension since•any square or rectangle area would have to have 49 square feet of area 'if it met the, minimum seven -foot open space dimensions. Areas less than 49 square feet -are hardly usable open space. • • . r;'• Mr. Schubach stated that staff recommends approval of the resolution recommending an amendment 'to the zoning ordinance in regard to the definition, location, and' computation of open space. -• Comm. Compton asked about open space along the Strand. Mr. Schubach stated that the issue originally raised was in regard to walk streets. The Commission could address the Strand if • so desired, but -he felt that the same interpretation would be applicable to the Strand as well as the walk streets in regard to what can be done with the lots. He noted that in some instances, variances could be granted_ because of unusually -shaped or small -sized lots. Comm. Comptoririnoted concern over property along the Strand. Comm. Compton discussed percentages allowed by other cities in regard to open space provided by decks and balconies. He stated that percentages allowed by inland cities do not pertain to beach cities. • - Comm. Peirce asked for clarification of the proposed Section 507(7): "When computing open space in conjunction with yard areas, only an area whichexceeds the minimum required yard area may be counted toward open space and only if the overall dimension of the required setback and the exceeding area together has a dimension of at least seven feet in width and length." • Mr. Schubach stated that an area must have a minimum of at least seven feet in any dimension in order for it to be counted as open space. Comm. Compton discussed a case he prepared regarding the new R-1 requirements. Public Hearing opened at 7:53 P.M. by Chmn. Sheldon. There being no citizens who came forward to speak either in favor of or in opposition to this issue, the Public Hearing was . closed at 7:53 P.M. by Chmn. Sheldon. - Comm. Compton explained the handout he made, stating that he presupposed a 20 -foot alley and determined the minimum setbacks required off an alley. He continued by discussing the allowable setbacks in regard to upper level decks and open space open to the sky. He stated that his example reflected a home on a 30- by 70 -foot lot. He concluded by stating that 1400 -square -foot homes were not feasible on these lots because of the land values. Comm. Rue questioned whether the street side would include the seven -foot setback in the open space calculation. He asked whether the ordinance has provided for that. Mr. Schubach replied that no suggestion has been made to allow the front yard for open space calculation. He stated, though, that the Planning Commission would have the purview to grant a variance in such cases where it is necessary and is deemed PLANNING COMMISS\JN MINUTES - JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 5 appropriate, especially in cases where the Commission determines that a 1400 square - foot house is too small for the lot. He stated that rear yards in the R-1 zone are typically acceptable in the open space calculations. Comm. Rue discussed the proposed Section 507(7), which applies only to R-2, R -2B, and R-3 zones, and questioned what the effects would be if open space is allowed in areas over seven feet. • Mr. Schubach stated that it would be acceptable. He continued by explaining the calculations which would be used. He stated that there would be a gain in the acceptable square footage. Chmn. Sheldon stated that there is no problem with walk streets in the R-1 zone. Comm. Compton felt that the Strand is a walk street. • Chmn. Sheldon stated that there is no R-1 zoning on the Strand south of 22nd Street, stating that most of the Strand is R-2, with only three blocks being R-1 north of 22nd Street. Chmn. Sheldon. felt that there is not enough R-1 zoning in the City. Comm. Compton felt that the R-1 zones would be too restrictive. He felt that a solution might be to redefine the front and/or rear yards based on the number of automobile accesses. He could see no reason why the front yards should not be included in the open space calculations. He felt that in most cases there is a public right of way, and in most cases people will use the area out to the property line. He stated that based on the proposed changes, people could be required to provide up tor: twenty feet of open space along the fronts of their property. .. .. Comm. Compton asked whether it is possible to add to the definition of "rear yard." He suggested wording stating that "rear yard areas as pertaining to open space calculations may be designated by being opposite to the automobile access end of the site." He stated that space could, therefore, be added. He stated that most people prefer to build homes of at least 2000 square feet. He stated that the more builders are limited, the more they will be forced to use decks and mezzanines and build upwards in order to add to the square .footage: He stated that it is preferable that there be open space adjacent to living areas, noting that ideally it could be provided in a second level. He felt that the main goal is to be reasonable. He felt that specific, worst-case situations must be addressed. Mr.. Schubach agreed that . in some casestheremay be a problem. But he noted that in many instances a variance could prove to be the solution. He stated that the main issue becomes how much one should be allowed to build on a lot. Comm. Compton felt that the issue boils down to individual property rights. He stated that although the City has the authority to impose such restrictions, there is a very fine line as to how far the City should go in taking away one's property rights, particularly in regard to the very expensive property in this City. Comm. Compton stated that the larger the lot, the less severe this problem is because larger lots have larger sideyards, and the 65 percent lot coverage issue does not apply. He stated that parity is gradually achieved between lot coverage and open space as the lots become larger. PLANNING COMMISS'wN MINUTES - JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 6 Comm. Compton agreed with staff's definition of open space, but he felt it shouldalso provide that fifty percent of the private open space can be covered. Mr. Schubach stated that staff attempted to analyze small lots in the City, though not necessarilythe smallest. Comm. Peirce stated that if a lot is small, the house should be scaled down to the size of the lot. He did not feel that it is appropriate to allow the same size house on small lots as are allowed on the larger lots. In the R-1 area, there are not as many small lots which would.come under the 30- by 70-foot.lot size provisions. • Chmn. Sheldon stated that he agrees with the staff recommendation. He felt that the variance procedure is available. in ,those cases •of exceptionally small.. lot size or extremely unusual circumstances. Comm. Compton felt that if a person thought he had to obtain a variance in order to build, he might decide against purchasing the property; and whatever existed on the property would remain on the property. He stated that this would create an economic pressure. Chmn. Sheldon stressed that codes are not written fora gross minority of lots. Comm. Compton suggested that the R-1 zone allow for private open space to be partially covered up to fifty percent. He stated that too much area is being taken from the ground already, noting particularly the 17 -foot setback requirement. Comm. Compton suggested that on the ground level, in all zones, the open space be held to ten . feet,. and . seven feet _ for decks.. This would accomplish.clarity throughout all . the zones. He felt a seven -foot deck would be reasonable amount of open space. He stated that it is used in R-2 and R-3 zones, and there is no reason it would not be acceptable in the R-1 zones. Comm. Compton further suggested that there be open space of 75 percent in decks and 25 percent on the ground..:.He_ stressed what the 17 -foot setback requirement is,doing in town, and he felt that less open space on the ground is acceptable because of the 17 -foot requirement. • Comm. Compton discussed the possibility of the inclusion of -one setback in the private or common open space calculations in the R-2 and R-3 zones. He felt that this might work particularly well with rear yard setbacks. He suggested a requirement that when setbacks are used, there must be a ten -foot minimum setback as opposed to the required seven when it is not. used. He stated that this would be reasonable for all zones. Comm. Compton asked whether it is necessary to have this information in the condominium ordinance since it will be in the zoning code. Mr. Schubach replied in the affirmative, stating that it is important to have clarity in both. Comm. Rue stated that if additional setback space is required, from seven feet to ten, to use it in the open space calculation, then the partial coverage stipulation for deck space would be unnecessary. PLANNING COMMISS oN MINUTES - JUNE 2, 1987 PAGE 7 Comm. Peirce stated that the ten -foot deck requirement in the R-1 zone has been in effect for quite some time, noting that it has not been changed in the recent past. Comm._ Peirce- felt that the way the ordinance is written in this regard is acceptable. He felt that the code .should address reasonable size lots; in instances of very small lots, people can utilize the variance procedure. He stated that the main issue becomes one of how.. much bulk the City wants to allow on lots... He opposed any changes. iru=the R-1 zones. Chmn. Sheldon stated that - he disagrees with the current 75 percent versus 25 percent open space coverage issue. • Mr. _Schubach suggested thatthere be a policy statement delineating the circumstances of when a variance would be allowable and under what circumstances variances are to be granted. Chmn. Sheldon stated that he would support an increase in the percentage of decks which can be included in the open space calculation for the R-1 zone. Comm. Compton favored allowing one setback to be used as a portion of the common open space calculation in the R-2, R -2B, and R-3 zones. • Mr. Schubach clarified- exactly what could be used in the calculations. Comm. -Peirce stated -that Section 507(7) could be modified to reflect that any one sideyard could be used in the common open space calculation. MOTION by Comm.. Compton,seconded by: ,Comm.-:::Rue,__:.to ..approve staff's recommendation with the following modifications: . . .. Tto change the current requirements to reflect that 75 percent (as opposed to the current 25%) of open space may be provided in balconies and decks provided there is a minimum dimension of ten feet; to allow the yard opposite theautomobile access end of the- site to be considered as a rear yard for purposes of open space calculations in the R-1 zone; Chmn. Sheldon stated that he would not support a 75-25 split in regard to the open space calculation. He noted, though, that he would support a 50-50 split.

On March 3, 1987, the Planning Commission directed staff to clarify what is usable open space. On May 7, 1987, the staff environmental review committee reviewed the proposed amendment and granted a negative declaration. Mr. Schubach explained the proposed text amendments in regard to the open space definition. Mr. Schubach stated that staff recommends approval of the resolution amending the zoning ordinance in regard to the definition, location, and computation of open space. Comm. Compton stated that he has major concerns with this issue. He asked questions of staff in regard to open space computations. He felt that the wording should be as specific as possible. Comm. Compton discussed rear yard setbacks in the R-1 zones and suggested that staff carefully address that section of the ordinance. Public Hearing opened at 10:35 P.M. by Chmn. Sheldon. There being no citizens who appeared to speak either in favor of or in opposition to this item, Chmn. Sheldon closed the Public Hearing at 10:35 P.M. Mr. Lough discussed the open space definition and asked whether this is applicable in regard to the general plan designation of open space. Mr. Schubach replied in the affirmative, stating that it is meant to be a generalized definition. He noted that the issue will be addressed further. .r r PLANNING COMM( N MINUTES - MAY 19, 1987 c PAGE 17 Comm.

Gregory T. Meyer City Manager City of Hermosa Beach �_� �l n/ ,w�'A� �3 September 1, 1987 HONORABLE MAYOR and MEMBERS of the Regular Meeting of HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL September 8, 1987 SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT TO ADD VIDEOTAPE SALES AND RENTALS, EXCEPT "X" RATED, TO THE C-1 ZONE PERMITTED USE LIST LOCATION: ALL C-1 ZONES APPLICANT'S LOCATION: 3201 MANHATTAN AVENUE APPLICANT: ERMANNO TOLOT RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission and the Staff recommend adopting the attached ordinance adding videotape sales and rentals to the C-1 Zone subject to a Conditional Use Permit. BACKGROUND At the April 21, 1987 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission directed Staff to set for public hearing a Text Amendment to consider adding videotape sales and rentals to the C-1 Zone. On July 21, 1987,.the Planning Commission held a public hearing, to consider permitting videocassette sales in the C-1 Zone. ANALYSIS The C-1 Zone's intent and purpose is to provide convenient retail sales and service at a neighborhood level. Videocassette recorders are becoming as common as television sets. The videotape is a small item and the amount of floor area needed for sales display can be as little as several square feet to hundreds of square feet. The demand for parking and traffic generated is typical of other retail uses and varies with the size of the business, i.e. the larger the inventory, the greater the parking demand. Currently, the C-1 Zone allows music stores which sell musical cassettes; also photographic equipment is permitted. These uses have the closest similarity to videotape sales and rental. Overall, Staff believes that this type of use is no more intense than other uses in the C-1 Zone and forsees no harm in adding it to the permitted use list provided no "X" rated videos are permitted.

At the April 21, 1987, meeting -the Planning Commission directed staff to set for public hearing a text amendment to consider adding videotape sales and rentals to the C-1 zone. The C-1 zone's intent and purpose is to provide convenient retail sales and service at a neighborhood level. Videocassette recorders are becoming as common as television sets. The videotape is a small item, and the amount of floor area needed for sales display can be as little as several square feet to hundreds of square feet. The demand for parking and traffic generated is typical of other retail uses and:; €ar es: with. the size:of the business; i.e., the larger the inventory, the greater the parking demand. Currently, the C-1 zone allows music stores which sell, musical cassettes; photographic equipment is also permitted. These uses have the closest similarity to videotape sales and rentals. Overall, staff believes that this type of use is no more intense than other uses in the C-1 zone and foresees no harm in adding it to the C-1 permitted use list provided no "X" rated videos are:permitted. It should be noted that once a use is listed in the C-1 zone, it is allowed in C-2 and C-3 0. zones automatically. Therefore, the proposedresolution eliminates the use from the list in the C-2 zone to prevent redundancy. Mr. Schubach concluded by stating that' staff recommends adding videotape sales and rentals to the C-1 zone. Mr. Lough stated that this applicant is not requesting to have "X" rated video sales. However, he noted that there may be a problem on the outright prohibition of adult movies. He said that recent court decisions have asserted that ocassional usage of adult videos does not make an establishment solely an adult establishment. He said that one court case asserted that establishments with sales of 20 percent or less of adult videos does not make that an adult store. Mr. Lough stated that the Planning Commission may not have a great deal of control over such limitation. He stated that he would do more study on the issue, noting that the C PLANNING COMMICN MINUTES - JULY 21, 1987 C PAGE 19 sale of general videos is a highly compatible use in the neighborhood commercial zone. Public Hearing opened at 10:34 P.M. by Chmn. Sheldon. Noting that the applicant was present but did not wish to speak, and there being no citizens who appeared to address the Commission, the Public Hearing was closed at 10:34 P.M. Chmn. Sheldon questioned whether there is a way to permit general video sales and exclude "X" rated sales in the C-1 zone. Mr. Lough stated that such a prohibition would be highly unenforceable. He stated that this issue relates to first amendment rights, noting that there may be problems with such a prohibition. MOTION by Comm. Compton, seconded by Chmn. Sheldon, to approve the staff recommendation to recommend a text amendment adding videotape sales and rentals, except "X" rated, to the C-1 zone permitted use list. Comm. Rue asked about parking and traffic problems as related to the video establishments. Mr. Schubach stated that parking and traffic have not been deemed to be a problem in the C-1 zone. He viewed these establishments as being similar to other uses in the same zone. Chmn. Sheldon stated that the C-1 zone is surrounded by neighborhood residences. He noted concern over "X" rated videos in any part of the City, but particularly in the C-1 zone. He stated that he would rather have no video sales and rentals at all'in the C-1 zone than to allow theca with adult videos. ;-�.sg<_;,�.:.• Chmn. Sheldon stated that if adult videos are permitted in C-1, they are automatically permitted in C-2. Chmn. Sheldon voiced strong opposition to adult videos in both the C-1 and C-2 zones. Mr. Schubach stated that conditional use permits are currently required in the C-3 zone for all establishments offering adult -type videos. Mr. Lough stated that if an applicant wished to sell or -rent 20 percent or more adult -type videos, he would be required to obtain a conditional use permit. He stated, though, that conditional use permits could b -e required for all video uses, if so desired. Comm. Compton questioned whether "X" rated videos could be restricted via the conditional use permit process. Mr. Lough stated that establishments are allowed up to 20 percent of adult videos, noting that that is the break off point between general sales and adult businesses. He noted that this also includes books and movies as well as videos. Mr. Lough stated that more research is necessary on this issue. Comm. Rue stated that he has no problem with this applicant, but he noted great concern over future applicants. He questioned whether the motion would be enforceable. Comm. Rue questioned whether displays could be controlled by a conditional use permit. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - JULY 21, 1987 PAGE 20 Mr. Schubach stated that outdoor displays can be conditioned. Comm. Rue suggested a conditional use permit requirement be added to the motion. AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION by Comm. Compton as maker, and agreed to by Chmn. Sheldon as second, that a conditional use permit be required for all video sales and rental establishments in C-1 and C-2 zones. Comm. Peirce spoke against the amendment, noting that the city is so small that it is very easy, for people to enter such establishments, whether they be in C-1, C-2 or C-3. He noted that establishments in the C-3 zone display notices near the entrances of the adult section advising that there are "X" rated videos being displayed. He felt that the issue is relatively minor and is not a public nuisance. AYES: Comms., Compton, Peirce, Rue, Chrnn.

BACKGROUND Through the meet and confer process, and the formal Memoranda of Understanding, the City now provides forms of health, dental, vision and mental health insurance for employees, spouses and some dependents. These provisions are not necessarily the same for each employee representation unit and the insurance carriers vary from year to year. Over the last several years questions have arisen regarding both spousal and dependent eligibility for various insurance coverages. ANALYSIS Since 1985 the City has required current and all new employees who receive an insurance benefit to sign an Insurance Certifica- tion Statement (copy attached). However there is no municipal code provision requiring that this be administered. Staff suggests that the City council may want to enact such. The attached Ordinance establishes that the In- surance Certification Statement is required, establishes that it shall be signed under penalty of perjury and assigns formal responsibility for this task to Personnel. • 1 l 1 In addition to the staff recommendation, other options available to the City Council are: Gre Cit 1. Receive and file; 2. Add a new second paragraph further requiring that marriage certificates be provided for any spousal dependent request and requiring birth certificates or guardianship documentation for any dependent children for whom coverage is sought. Should the Council wish to do so, it is suggested that the paragraph read: "Upon hire, a new employee shall provide a copy of a marriage.certificate validating a spousal dependent and a copy of a birth certificate or guardianship documents for each child dependent for which insurance coverage is sought." 3. Approve in concept but instruct staff as to other provisions desired. �'Gcai ( U WlrL ory T.

PRINT NAME SIGNATURE July 8, 1987 HONORABLE MAYOR and MEMBERS of Regular Meeting of the HERMOSA BEACH CITY COUNCIL July 14, 1987 EL SEGUNDO EMPLOYER'S ASSOCIATION REQUEST FOR CITY FUNDING FOR LAX TUNNEL WIDENING Recommendation It is recommended that City Council: 1. A. Determine that the LAX Tunnel Widening is a regional concern for Hermosa Beach. B. Provided all other agencies agreed to funding, set aside $12,500 for FY87-88 and $12,500 for FY88-89 as a contribution toward the LAX tunnel widening stuAz The funding for this contribution to be State Gas Tax - QR - 2. Receive and file this report Background On June 5,. 1987, the El Segundo Employer's Association (ESEA) requested that the City of Hermosa Beach make a total contribution of $25,000 to help pay for a study of the future widening of the Los Angeles Airport Tunnels, north of El Segundo, on Sepulveda Blvd. The contribution could be paid from FY87-88 and FY88-89 in payments of $12,500 per fiscal year. The $3 million study will be funded over five years by the federal government and will require $600,000 in local matching funds. Analysis ' In September .1.985, DeLeuw, Cather & Company (Transportation Engineering Consultants) prepared a report for the City of El Segundo which summarized the results of.a preliminary .evaluation. . of the Sepulveda Blvd. Tunnelunder the LAX south runways. According to the report, the new Century Freeway, scheduled for completion in 1991, will terminate at Sepulveda and Imperial Blvds. The Century Freeway will increase traffic demand on the northbound tunnels thereby producing congestion in the LAX area.. The tunnel construction could cost up to $76 million. The design is estimated to cost up to $3 million. The traffic impacts are directed primarily northbound from Imperial Blvd. through the LAX tunnel. DeLeuw, Cather's preliminary study assumes a two way (eight lanes total) tunnel along with a similar eight lanes on Sepulveda Blvd. through El Segundo. The City of Manhattan Beach is planning for the possibility of an eight lane Sepulveda Blvd. There is no plan in either Hermosa Beach or Redondo Beach for an eight lane highway. The benefits to Hermosa Beach for widening the tunnels beneath LAX are small since most of the congestion is anticipated for traffic traveling northbound on Sepulveda Blvd. (through the LAX tunnels) from westbound Century Freeway. The regional impacts of the tunnel widening are greater than the local (Hermosa Beach) impacts and are discussed in this memorandum. The choice before City Council is whether it should or should not participate in this study. If no participation is desired by City Council the action required is to receive and file. Assuming participation by City Council is desired the recommendation at the beginning of this memorandum is the appropriate action. Therefore, further analysis will respond to the effects of participation and how best to deal with the funding concern. The analysis will address: 1. Agencies requested to participate 2. Potential funding sources and their restrictions 3. City revenue and fund balance history 4. The Effects to Hermosa Beach 1.

POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES AND THEIR RESTRICTIONS The following are potential funding sources should the City Council decide to financially participate in the LAX tunnel study. General Fund: State Gas Tax: 3. CITY REVENUE These monies are unrestricted and may be used for any lawful purpose. Given other funding sources, General Fund should be the last type of fund to use as a contribution. According the Section 2101 of the California Streets and Highways Code, State Gas Tax monies may be used on public streets for: a. research and planning (includes design) b. construction or improvements c. maintenance repair and operations d. administrative costs associated with the above AND FUND BALANCE HISTORY BEGIN JUNE 30TH REVENUE SOURCE * FY FUND BALANCE REVENUE YEAR END JULY 31ST EXPENDITURES TRANSFERS FUND BALANCE GENERAL (2) (2) (2) (1) (1) STATE GAS TAX (2) (2) (2) (1) (1) 83-84 84-85 85-86 86-87 87-88 1,495,349 44,032 21,235 .11,116 1,362,834 4,526,485 5,323,084 8,819,883 7,056,781 7,636,044 6,526,785 548,983 7,299,032 1,953,151 7,912,812 (75,482) 7,401,776 579,945 8,063,081 (35,049) 44,032 21,235 852,824 246,066 900,748 83-84 496,157 283,218 358,604 84-85 421,296 256,776 269,128 85-86 405,105 412,171 550,594 86-87 383,571 359,900 348,422 87-88 411,578 281,867 671,577 525 (3,839) 190,807 (89,291) 13,792 421,296 405,105 457,489 305,758 35,660 (1)ESTIMATED (2)ACTUAL 4. THE EFFECTS TO HERMOSA BEACH The City's State Gas Tax Fund is available for this regional concern. The effects locally to Hermosa Beach are: 1. $25,000 will not be available for local street maintenance or improvements for the next two years. The FY87-88 State Gas Tax Fund balance is anticipated to be $23,160. 2. Less congestion for Hermosa Beach residents during commuter peak hours in the vicinity of LAX. CONCLUSION Financial participation by all the contacted agencies will meet (and exceed) the local match goal for the study, thereby moving the widening project.one step closer to reality. 3 1! Alternatives Other alternatives considered by staff and available to City Council are: 1. Receive and file this request. 2. Contribute more or less. 3. Contribute without other agency participation.

EL SEGUNDO EMPLOYERS ASSOCIATION July 1, 1987 The Honorable John Cioffi Mayor City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 Dear Mayor Cioffi: P.O. Box 547 El Segundo, CA 90245 (213) 640-3403 Recently I wrote you concerning the possibility of Hermosa Beach participating in the $3 million demonstration project to increase the capacity of the Sepulveda Blvd. tunnel underneath LAX. As you may recall, this project, which was made possible through the efforts of Glenn Anderson, requires $600,000 in non-federal matching funds, and we are attempting to. assemble that funding package. Since the date of my letter the City of El Segundo has voted to commit $75,000 toward the project. Other South Bay cities are being asked to contribute $25,000, with the remainder of the $600,000 to be made up by the Department of Airports, the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles. As you deliberate as to whether this would be a wise expenditure of Hermosa Beach's funds, I thought it might be helpful if I provided you with a summary of ESEA's major accomplishments over the past few years and also gave you a glimpse at our current work ' program (attached). ESEA's major emphasis in the past 3 years has been securing the necessary local, State and Federal funds to make sorely needed transportation infra- structure improvements in the area. Both employers and developers have an obvious interest in this ob- jective. During this period, ESEA has achieved a number of significant objectives, including: THE GREEN LIGHT FOR COMMUTERS Mayor Cioffi July 1, 1987 Page two o Winning approval of $254 million to build the Century Freeway light rail line (in addition to "high occupancy vehicle" lanes on the Freeway). o Winning an additional $150 million to extend the light rail line through the El Segundo employment center. o Winning inclusion of $3 million in demonstration funds in the new Federal transportation bill to begin addressing anticipated severe congestion in the Sepulveda Blvd. tunnel under LAX. o Winning approximately $13 million to add a lane to the "South Bay curve" of the San Diego Freeway (via re -striping) between the Marina Freeway and the Harbor Freeway. o Winning approximately $3.5 million to widen and make intersection improvements along Sepulveda Blvd. o Sponsoring legislation to extend the State employer ridesharing tax credit allowance. o Sponsoring legislation to enhance the possibility of achieving funding for the Rosecrans/Aviation inter- section. Obviously, ESEA did not accomplish all this by itself. By work- ing with South Bay cities and our elected representatives in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. we have, I believe, demonstrated the viability of the cooperative approach to improving the traf- fic situation in our, area. While we haven't solved all the traf- fic problems in the area, we have made a.pretty good start and,. as you can see from our work program, most of what we're working. on is now actually outside the city limits of El Segundo. It is in this context that I would ask that you consider the re- quest for Hermosa Beach's participation in the LAX tunnel project. In particular, I would make the following arguments in support of the request: o Access to LAX from the south will be critically affected by the completion of the Century Freeway and the resultant congestion in the tunnel. Good ground access to LAX is important for both residents and citizens of the South Bay. Mayor Cioffi July 1, 1987 Page three o Many residents of Hermosa Beach work north of LAX and use the tunnel on their way to and from work. Even more residents will be employed there in the future. Commuter peak hours tend to coincide with the peak hours at LAX, so a badly congested tunnel will have a direct and negative impact on a substantial number of your citizens. o The "all for one, one for all" philosophy that ESEA employs only works when we all work together to sup- port each other's goals. While this project may not be a number one priority for the City of Hermosa Beach, the cooperation which you may seek in the future on projects closer to home will be easier to achieve if we can establish the "working together" habit. o Congressman Anderson is a strong supporter of the project and has been a real friend of the South Bay when it comes to transportation. We need to demon- strate to him that we are appreciative of his ef- forts. Failing to do that will make future support from him more difficult to achieve. I hope this letter and the attachment helps establish a better understanding of ESEA's objectives and activities, and that it provides a better framework for your decision on participation in the tunnel project. I would be happy to discuss this at further length at your convenience. Thank you very much for considering our views. Sincerely, Donald H. Camph Executive Director DHC/ss Attachment cc: Gregory T. Meyer, City Manager -t 1987 ESEA WORK PROGRAM STREETS AND HIGHWAYS 1. I-405 Re -Striping Initially under the leadership of Supervisor Dana, a committee has been formed to examine the entire I-405 corridor from the San Fernando Valley to the Orange County line to ascertain whether HOV commuter lanes should be implemented. The project for which ESEA secured funding (an additional lane from the Marina Freeway to the Harbor Freeway) is central to this discussion. The committee has not yet begun substantive discussions. Once these start, ESEA staff will present to the Board its recommendations with regard to this issue. Caltrans has made it clear that if "the community" does not want HOV lanes then the additional lane on the 1-405 will be a mixed use lane. 2. Sepulveda Blvd. Widenings & Intersection Improvements Caltrans has indicated that the EIR for this project is about complete. Once it is approved, the way will be clear for implementation of these four projects to begin. The projects are: o Widening of Sepulveda Blvd. from Rosecrans to Grand Ave. o Widening of Sepulveda Blvd. (NB only) in Manhattan Beach near AT&SF RR undercrossing. o Widening of and signal improvements of Rosecrans and Sepulveda. o Widening of and signal improvements of Marine and Sepulveda. staff will continue to monitor ESEA ensure timely implementation. these at intersection at intersection projects to 3. Capacity Improvements, Sepulveda Blvd. Tunnel @ LAX $3 million in Federal demonstration funds for design and environmental work on this project were lost when the 99th Congress failed to pass a surface transportation reauthor- ization bill. The project has been retained in the new House Bill (HR2) but there may be a local match require- ment imposed by the Senate. When the situation becomes clearer, ESEA staff will work with the LACTC, County of Los Angeles, City of EL Segundo, City of Los Angeles and the L.A. Department of Airports to identify sources of matching funds, if required. - 1 - 4. Reconstruction of Aviation/Rosecrans Intersection The City of El Segundo has again applied for State PUC grade separation funds for this project under the new formula specified in the bill which Senator Beverly car- ried for ESEA. Should this project fail to qualify for funding, ESEA staff will explore further legislative remedies. In addition, ESEA staff will explore with the LACTC and other appropriate agencies the possibility of a joint freight/LRT bridge over the intersection. Some expenditure of funds may be necessary to obtain an accu- rate cost estimate of the potential savings to be realized from a joint use bridge. 5. Douglas Street On -Ramp to Century Freeway It is our understanding that Caltrans' appraisors will soon release their estimate for the two alternative on- ramp configurations (original design and locally preferred alternative). ESEA staff will continue to work with af- fected parties to coordinate this effort and protect the interests of all ESEA members involved. 6. Removal of Peak Hour Parking from Sepulveda Blvd. in Hermosa Beach ESEA staff is in the process of beginning discussions with selected community leaders in Hermosa Beach to develop a grass roots action campaign to pressure the City council into removing parking from Sepulveda Blvd. during peak commute hours. A staff strategy paper will be presented at the February meeting of the ESEA Board for review and approval. It is anticipated that a working committee involving interested ESEA members and community represent- atives will guide this effort. 7. Widening of Aviation Blvd. between Imperial Hwy. and Artesia Blvd. In cooperation with the County of Los Angeles and the cities of El Segundo, Hawthorne, Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach, ESEA will work to identify what widenings and other improvements to Aviation Blvd. are needed and to identify and secure funding for such improvements. PUBLIC TRANSIT - RIDESHARING/TSM 1. Century Freeway - El Segundo Light Rail Extension At its December 17, 1986 meeting, the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC) approved $150 million to construct the extension of the Century Freeway light rail line through the El Segundo employment center to a yard site in Hawthorne. There are a variety of implementation issues which will need to be resolved, foremost being the possibility of a "local" cash and/or in-kind contribution to persuade the LACTC to elevate portions of the line currently designated as being at -grade. ESEA staff will be contacting the City of El Segundo and affected property owners in the very near future to discuss ways in which to proceed. It is likely that an appraiser will have to be retained to develop a detailed estimate of the condemn- ation value of various rights-of-way involved. It is suggested that an LRT Implementation Task Force be estab- lished to meet on a regular basis to address this and other issues as they arise. 2. Bus Service in the South Bay With the termination of the Hughes Aircraft Commuter Bus Line and other cutbacks in SCRTD service, the El Segundo employment center remains woefully underserved by public transit. Various calls for better coordination and joint efforts by South Bay cities have not to date been suc- cessful in achieving higher levels of service. ESEA staff will try to work with local communities to explore the po- tential for improving bus transit service to the employ- ment center. 3. Joint Action Plan with Commuter Computer ESEA staff, in cooperation with Commuter Computer, has developed a Draft•Joint Action Plan to enhance the level of ridesharing and TSM program effectiveness in the em ployment center. •This proposal has been informally dis cussed with appropriate Federal officials with regard to the possibility of demonstration funding. If the response is encouraging, ESEA staff will bring the proposal to the Board for formal review and approval so that an applica- tion for funds can be made. To minimize the administra- tive burden and expense to ESEA, staff suggests that Commuter Computer be the lead entity in applying for any Federal demonstration funding. LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVES 1. State Transportation Financing Three measures have recently been introduced which propose to increase funds available for transportation programs. A summary of these bills has been provided below. o AB 18 (Katz, et. al.) - This measure would place a $1.5 billion transportation bond measure on the June 7, 1988 direct primary election ballot. These bonds would be of a general obligation nature (backed by the full faith and credit of the state General Fund) and proceeds could be used to finance the capital costs associated with non -interstate highways, transit guideways and local public streets. ESEA staff is inclined to support this measure since it would mean access to a new source of revenue (i.e. the General Fund) for transportation. o SB 140 (Deddeh) - This bill places a $1.8 billion transportation revenue bond measure on the June 7, 1988 ballot as part of a six-year effort to increase funds available for state highways and mass transit guideways. The bonds would be secured by highway user fees (state fuel tax revenues and fees on motor vehicles). The bill also requires that beginning in 1989, and biennially there -after, the Governor submit a six- year transportation plan to the Legislature for approval and explicitly defines the responsibility of the state and local agencies in maintaining and constructing state highways in the future. In this regard, the state would continue to operate, maintain and rehabilitate all state highways and would continue to make necessary. safety and opera tional (non -capacity -related.) improvements. The state would'also complete the Interstate System (including the Century Freeway) and all projects in the 1986 STIP. The responsibility for widening or increasing the capacity of highways with more than four lanes, however, would fall to local authori- ties. Although none of the proceeds from bonds would be subvened directly to local agencies, the bill would permit State Highway Account funds of up to $200 mil- lion annually to be used to provide a 50 percent match for local highway and transit guideway proj- ects. -4- ESEA staff has no recommended position on this bill at this time. One concern is that it is a revenue bond issue against existing user fees and as such would not result in additional resources for trans- portation projects. Further, there is some question as to the wisdom of a bond issue (which would effec- tively "front -load" the revenue pipeline) when Caltrans is having difficulty in delivering projects funded under the current structure. Finally, ESEA staff wants to further examine the impacts of the bill in terms of the division of authority between the State and local jurisdictions. o SB 142 (Deddeh) - This measure authorizes any county board of supervisors to create a local transporta- tion authority for the purpose of imposing a sales tax of up to one percent for transit, highway or local road purposes. In counties such as Los Angeles, where a local transportation sales tax is already in place, the amount of the new tax, when coupled with the existing one, could not exceed a total of one percent. The Los Angeles County Transportation Commission has in the past year been examining the possibility of such a local sales tax program for highway improve- ments. A decision is expected sometime in 1987. 2. Other State Legislation At this time, the only other bill known to be of substan- tial iterest to ESEA is the potential reintroduction of Marian Bergeson's bill which would permit Caltrans to contract out for services relating to highway projects in order to facilitate delivery of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). This bill died in the last session of the Legislature because of opposition by the State employees union. It is expected. that a modified ver- sion of this bill will be introduced in the near future and ESEA staff will probably recommend a support position, 3. Federal Transportation Financing As mentioned above, the new comprehensive surface transpor- tation reauthorization bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives (HR2 - Anderson). This bill contains $3 million in funds to do design and environmen- tal work on a project to enhance to capacity of the Sepulveda Blvd. tunnel at LAX. Companion bills have not yet been introduced in the Senate. ESEA staff will con- tinue to work with ESEA members, the cities of El Segundo and Los Angeles, and the L.A. Department of Airports to ensure the success of this project. -5- r BOARD OF DIRECTORS Chairman DAVID C.

Box 547 El Segundo, CA 90245 (213) 640-3403 In September, 1985, a report prepared for the City of El Segundo (and co-sponsored by ESEA and the L.A. Department of Airports) concluded that with the completion of the Century Freeway in 1993 the Sepulveda Blvd. tunnel at LAX will be deficient in its ability to handle future traffic flows (report enclosed). As you know, Sepulveda Blvd./Pacific Coast Highway is one of only two through north -south arterials west of the San Diego Freeway and is a critical transportation link for the entire South Bay. At the request of ESEA, Congressman Glenn Ander- son included a $3 million demonstration project in the recently passed Federal highway bill to complete necessary environmental and engineering work to increase the capacity of the tunnel. Under provisions of the. bill, $1,500,000 of this amount is new obligatiopal authority, $900,000. is discretionary money out the State's existing .:.•.. obligational authority, and $600,000 must be provided as the local matching share. ESEA is working with the Department of Airports, the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles and the cities to the south of LAX to raise the necessary match. While we anticipate that the Department of Airports will contribute a substantial amount of the funds, we are hopeful that Hermosa Beach can also to participate to some degree. The preliminary funding plan (which THE GREEN LIGHT FOR COMMUTERS Mayor C iof f i June 5, 1987 Page two by no means is set in concrete) shows the City's share to be $25,000 which would be need to be allocated over the next two fiscal years. It seems to us that this is an excellent opportunity for South Bay cities to show the kind of mutual cooperation that will be necessary if our traffic problems are to be solved. The next meeting of parties who are interested in this project will be on June 19 at the Department of Airports. It would be very helpful if we could get at least an initial indication of the City's willingness to participate prior to that date. I am available at your convenience to discuss this matter further. I look forward to talking with you soon. onald Camp Executive Director DHC:me:LAXTUN cc: Greg Meyer r r r r i 1 1 1 i DeLEUW CATH E R De Leuw, Cather & Company Engineers and Planners 96TH ST.

The report was submitted on September 18, 1985. The consultant concludes that, with the introduction of the Century Freeway, the existing Sepulveda Boulevard tunnel in the northbound direction will be deficient in its ability to handle future design traffic flows. The introduction of direct freeway. connections, plus anticipated improvements along Sepulveda Boulevard at the Imperial Highway, will allow enough traffic to enter the tunnel in the northbound direction to cause the existing three -lane tunnel to regularly operate at highly congested levels during peak periods. During most peak periods, poor traffic flow conditions would exist with backups occasionally extending in the northbound direction from the tunnel through the Imperial Highway intersection. In the southbound direction, similar (but somewhat less) congestion is projected to occur after the improvement of intersections along Sepulveda at 96th Street and Lincoln Boulevard. Additional parallel northbound and southbound tunnels, which would extend from the I-105 freeway ramps underneath the airport runways, appear to be the most logical solutions in terms of roadway continuity and traffic services. The new tunnels could connect with the roadway ramps servicing the airport circulation roads, with merging lanes provided to allow full traffic access between Sepulveda Boulevard and the tunnel roads. This study was jointly sponsored by the City of El Segundo, Los Angeles Department of Airports and the El Segundo Employer's Association. The analysis contained herein was produced by De Leuw, Cather & Company. The conclusions reached in this report are those of the consultant. DE LEUW, CATHER & COMPANY Keith G. Meyer,. P.E.

PURPOSE DeLEUW CATHER The purpose of this report is to provide a summary evaluation of the Sepulveda Boulevard Tunnel under the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) south runways. Figure 1 shows the study area. Sepulveda Boulevard, as the westernmost principal arterial in Los Angeles County, serves inter -city traffic within the L.A. coastal corridor, and it serves as a major connection from LAX to large employment centers in El Segundo and points south. The new Century Freeway (I-105) is scheduled to be completed between I-405 and Sepulveda Boulevard by 1991. The western terminus of this east -west freeway will be Sepulveda Boulevard. Direct connect ramps are planned to funnel traffic to and from Sepulveda Boulevard north. The City of El Segundo and the local business community have expressed concern that, with the introduction of the Century Freeway ramps, the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnel will be subjected to traffic volumes in excess of the capacity of the tunnel. As a result, several pertinent questions have been asked that are addressed in this report. o Will the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnel be a capacity constraint to future traffic flows after the introduction of the Century Freeway? o If so, can the tunnel be widened or are other alternatives available? o If capacities of other intersections (Sepulveda/Imperial, 96th/ - Sepulveda, Lincoln/Sepulveda)..are increased, does this contribute additional traffic such that the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnel will be further congested? B. EVALUATION RESULTS Based upon the analysis of future traffic flows, this report concludes that, with the introduction of the Century Freeway, the existing Sepulveda Boulevard tunnel in the northbound direction will be defi- cient in its ability to handle future design traffic flows. The introduction of direct freeway connections, plus anticipated improve- ments along Sepulveda Boulevard at the Imperial Highway, will allow enough traffic to enter the tunnel in the northbound direction to -1- SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD OPERATIONS ANALYSIS CITY OF EL SEGUNDO f r r f 1 1 1 1 1 l L L L DeLEUW CATHER cause the existing three -lane tunnel to regularly operate at highly congested levels during peak periods. During most peak periods, unstable traffic flow conditions would exist with backups occasionally extending in the northbound direction from the tunnel through the Imperial Highway intersection. In the southbound direction, similar (but somewhat less) congestion is projected to occur after the improvement of intersections along Sepulveda at 96th Street and Lincoln Boulevard. Several options were explored to alleviate this congestion, including: o Expansion of existing tunnels o Construction of new parallel tunnels to service 1-105 ramps o Construction of a third tunnel with reversible flow o Construction of an additional tunnel under the runways to connect Airport Boulevard to Nash Street All alternatives described would fully alleviate congestion in the tunnels for the foreseeable future. Of the alternatives considered, new northbound and southbound tunnels, which would extend from the I-105 freeway ramps underneath the airport runways, appear to be the most logical in terms of roadway continuity and traffic service. The new tunnels could connect with the roadway ramps servicing the airport circulation roads, with merging lanes provided to allow full traffic access between Sepulveda Boulevard and the tunnel roads. In this fashion, airport -related traffic could have a direct route to the airport circulation roadways. Figure 2 shows a suggested concept. Tunnel construction can be expected to be extremely expensive due to construction and traffic maintenance requirements. New parallel tunnels are suggested in this analysis instead of other options for the following reasons: o Separate tunnels could be stage constructed (northbound first; southbound second). o Less disruption would occur for Sepulveda Boulevard traffic. o A direct connection of freeway traffic to LAX upper/lower level roadway system could be provided. Order -of -magnitude costs of $26 million for "cut -and -cover", and $76 million for "hydraulically jacked" tunnels have been estimated for both Sepulveda Boulevard tunnels. Each tunnel would be about one-half the total cost, with the southbound tunnels probably costing slightly more due to impacts to ventilation buildings. At the present time, additional engineering is required to determine the actual feasibility of constructing these tunnels and to develop more accurate cost estimates. -3- break line EAST -WEST AIRPORT RUNWAYS EXISTING SEPULVEDA BLVD (3 lanes each direclion) SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD MPERIAL HWY •� • . •,,:••._..•=tires •.. ..• _ COLLECTOR/DISTRIBUTOR TUNNELS (2 lanes each direction) SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD OPERATIONS ANALYSIS FIGURE 2 Suggested Tunnel Concept —� N • SECTION II BACKGROUND A. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION DeLEUW CATHER This analysis stems from several studies that have been completed within the L.A. coastal area in recent years. Much attention has been focused on the problems of north -south traffic growth and roadway capacity along the coastal corridor from Manhattan Beach to Santa Monica. The Los Angeles City Coastal Corridor Transportation Study, the most extensive recent effort in the area to assess transportation needs, contains many recommendation for roadway infrastructure improvements. Due to the significant increases forecasted in development activity in the Westchester/Northside areas, the expected increases in employment activity in the cities of El Segundo and Hawthorne, and the location of the Los Angeles International Airport at a key focal point, many roadway facilities are forecasted to be seriously deficient in capa- city in the future. Based on forecasted traffic volumes in a "Projected Growth Scenario", the Coastal Corridor Transportation Study recommended major improve- ments in the north -south corridors including widening Sepulveda Boulevard to eight lanes from Imperial to Lincoln, construction of an extended Airport Boulevard tunnel under the LAX runways (to connect with Nash Street) and widening the San Diego Freeway (I-405) to eight lanes. With the introduction of the I-105 Freeway between I-405 and Sepulveda, significant additional traffic will be brought into the area south of the L.A: airport. In addition, current through -traffic operating on Imperial will be diverted to the elevated I-105, which will make roadway capacity available for other locally generated traffic. Currently, no additional widening is programmed for the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnels concurrent with the construction of I-105. It has been suggested that capacity constraints of the existing intersections on Sepulveda at Imperial, 96th, and Lincoln, would probably not allow enough traffic to get through the airport tunnels for the tunnels to be a capacity constraint. However, improvements are proposed on Sepulveda at 96th, Lincoln, and Imperial that will increase current available capacity at these intersections, thus increasing traffic flows through the tunnels. -5- DeLEUW CATHER B. ASSUMPTIONS This analysis assumes that several major developments, that would have direct effects on thc need to widen Sepulveda Boulevard, will be in place in the future. A variety of roadway improvements have been suggested for project area roadways. These include the following improvements with approximate dates of implementation: o Opening of the 1-105 Freeway --6 lanes --1991 o Widening Sepulveda Boulevard from El Segundo to Imperial -- 8 lanes --1987 o Widening Imperial Highway to 6 lanes, plus double lefts at Sepulveda, 1990 o Grade separation of 96th Street at Sepulveda, plus ramps and turn lanes, 1990 o Widening Lincoln Boulevard (SR1) to six lanes, 1990 In addition to major roadway improvements, certain development assump- tions have been made that will have an effect on traffic generated within the project area. Major development assumed to be in place include: o The Garrett Development --96th at Sepulveda o Northside Development o Production of the F-20 at Northrop o All other development/employment assumptions contained in the LAX TSM and Coastal Corridor Transportation Studies For the purpose of this report, the extension of Airport Boulevard under the south runways to connect with Nash is not treated as a given transportation improvement. Instead, transportation impacts were evaluated in this report with and without the connection to determine effects to the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnels. Light rail transit is currently being designed within the center median of I-105 from Aviation Boulevard east. Studies are currently being conducted by the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC) to establish other potential east -west and north -south corri- dors.' It is not expected that introduction of light rail transit would reduce the long-term need to widen the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnels. -6- SECTION III TRAFFIC FORECASTS A. INTRODUCTION DeLEUW CATHER Several traffic forecasts have been prepared within the study area in recent years. The various forecasts reflect differing assumptions and, as a result, contain different levels of traffic flows. Fore- casts for the study area have been previously prepared in the follow- ing documents: "City of El Segundo General Plan Circulation Element"; March 6, 1984; ASL Consulting Engineers. "Los Angeles Coastal Transportation Corridor Specific Plan"; 1984; LADOT. "LAX Corridor TSM Study"; 1984; Southern California Association of - Governments. In general, the different forecasts are due to different assumptions contained within each study, particularly those of land use projec- tions and capacity constraints. A consensus has been reached by most agencies (SCAG, LADOT, and CalTrans) that capacity constraints of the roadway network will impose a limit to the actual traffic growth in the area, regardless of land use changes. This saturation of street networks will be particularly noticeable. on the future I-105 (Century) Freeway which is forecasted to absorb currently diverted traffic demand upon its opening. The Coastal Transportation Corridor Specific Plan has recommended additional capacity to accommodate future traffic demand, .particularly .,in the Sepulveda corridor near L.A. International Airport. B. EXISTING COUNTS AND FORECASTS The following available traffic counts and forecasts in the Sepulveda Boulevard and Douglas/Nash corridors were utilized: 1. Existing average daily traffic volumes, provided by the City of Los Angeles DOT. 2. 1983 intersection turning movements at locations south of LAX, provided by the City of El Segundo. -7- 3.

Base Year 2000 ADT was projected for two scenarios, as set forth in the Coastal Transportation Corridor Study. Sepulveda Boulevard Year 2000 projections south of the Airport were adjusted to provide consistency with the projections as provided north of Imperial Highway. Increases in Airport -related traffic were estimated based on surrounding traffic growth, th,whcis would yield a' .17 percent increase. Airport passenger growth pro- jected to have a maximum increase of 16 percent to a projected 40 million annual passenger capacity, indicating that the 17 percent factor utilized is reasonable. 3. Additional traffic from a proposed development at the northwest corner of Sepulveda and Century, not included as input in the SCAG model runs, .was added to he roadwayy e system.

Peak hour turning movements were forecasted for Sepulveda Boule- vard. Only PM peak hour movements were forecasted, since the relatively even directional distributions and the higher general traffic levels in the afternoon cause the PM peak to be the controlling design hour. 5. The following approximate peak hour percentages, based on exist- ing counts, estimated future conditions, and reasonable assump- tions, were used as guidelines: o Minor east -west streets: 9% o Sepulveda Boulevard, in highly congested sections: 7-8% o All other roadways: 8% 6. The following approximate directional distributions were used: o Imperial Highway, PM Peak: 60% EB AM Peak: 60% WB o Sepulveda Blvd., PM Peak: 55% SB south of Imperial o Douglas/Nash, PM Peak: 60% NB AM Peak: 60% SB o El Segundo, PM Peak: 55% EB AM Peak: 55% WB o All other roadways: 50%-50% D. YEAR 2000 PROJECTIONS Two scenarios for projected Year 2000 daily traffic and peak hour turning movements have been developed. .Figure 4 shows.. the Year 2000 ADT for the Base Scenario; Figure 5 shows the Year 2000 ADT for the Specific Plan Scenario. The principal difference between the two scenarios is that the Spe- cific Plan recommends an extension of Airport Boulevard south of Century Boulevard to Imperial Highway (connecting with Nash). Also, the Specific Plan recommends improvements on 96th Street and Lincoln Boulevard. Hourly turning movement forecasts are. provided on Figure 6 for the Base Scenario, and on Figure 7 for the Specific Plan Scenario. -10- LOS ANGELES ►�� tis .enc * N.26% m • co (0 37.2 _ 34.0 •— £:?tsth St. 19.0 Arbor V to & St. yt 59.6 •I. 59.6 ..''`'r 65.9 Cortury ?.3lxtf.

REASONABLENESS CHECKS In order to test the reasonableness of these forecasts, comparisons have been made with other available traffic forecasts.. Table 1 provides a comparison of forecasts. In general, the De Leuw, Cather forecasts are somewhat higher than those contained in the LA Coastal Corridor Specific Plan, due to added development activity. The proposed Airport Boulevard extension would have a significant impact on traffic flows on Sepulveda Boulevard. 0 -15- TABLE 1 TRAFFIC VOLUME .CClB'ARISONS De Leuw, Cather Tear 2000 Forecast LA Coastal Corridor El Segundo Tear 2000 Forecast Year 2000 Forecast Existing Baseline Specific Growth Specific Circulation Traffic Scenario Plan Scenario Plan Element 1-105 West of 1-405 Sepulveda Tunnel • Century Blvd. East of Sepulveda Sepulveda North of Century Blvd. Imperial Hwy West of 1-405 85,500 96,000 78,500 89,100 71,200 134,700 86,100 119,800 71,200 62,200 65,900 59,300 56,900 49,400 61,300 119,500 86,800 113,600 90,000 32,600 30,000 30,000 25,000 43,300 56,200 29,200 r r i I 1 1 1 i DeLEUW CATHER SECTION IV CAPACITY EVALUATIONS In order to complete the evaluation of capacity deficiencies, calcula- tions of available roadway capacities with and without certain improvements were required. Capacity calculations were made using the 1965 Highway Capacity Manual, draft chapters of the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual, and TRB Circulation 212, Interim Materials on Highway Capacity. The design of roadway improvements is typically made in order to have some allowance for future traffic growth. Various "levels of service" have been established in order to represent different levels of peak hour congestion. Table 2 describes the various levels of service for urban conditions. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) recommends that roadway facilities be designed in urban areas for a 20 -year design hourly level of service "D". This level of service allows for some measure of traffic fluctuation and will accommodate moderate congestion. In general, the I-105 freeway for this length between I-105 and Sepulveda Boulevard is forecasted to operate at level of service "C" or "D" during design hours. The "capacity" of a facility is generally defined as the limit of level of service "E". Absolute capacity is usually characterized by travel speeds below 30 mph and frequent breakdowns. Service volumes- for different levels of service of the Sepulveda Tunnel were developed from the 1985 Draft Highway Capacity Manual Chapters. The maximum service flows under ideal conditions for a multi -lane highway at various levels of service in passenger cars per hour per lane are shown in Table 3. -17- DeLEUW CATHER TABLE 3 MAXIMUM LANE CAPACITIES Level of Maximum Service Per Lane Flow A B 850 pcph C 1,150 pcph D . 1,450 pcph E 1,900 pcph F Highly Variable Several roadway characteristics were then considered which reduced the . actual service flow of the tunnel from the maximum service flow. The actual service flow is given by SF — MSF x N x Fhv x Fw x Fe x Fp, where the following factors were applied. MSF — Maximum Ideal Service Flow N — 6 lanes Fhv — .94 (heavy vehicle factor for 2% trucks with a 2% grade over 1/4 to 1/2 mile) Fw — .96 (width factor for 2 foot clearance on both sides) Fe — 1.00 (environmental factor) Fp — .95 (a factor based on driver behavior, where 1.00 — commuters, regular users, and .75 -.90 — recreation or other non -regular users) -19- DeLEUW CATHER Table 4 shows the resulting tunnel service flows in vehicles per hour.

Key intersections in the analyses included Sepulveda Boulevard at Imperial, 96th, and Lincoln. In addition, the impact of an Airport Boulevard/Nash Street connection was explored to determine the possi- ble mitigation effects to traffic demand. A. 96th STREET A grade -separated 96th/Sepulveda intersection was assumed to provide Sepulveda Boulevard access via ramps to north and south intersections. With this configuration, signalized intersections would continue to provide capacity constraints in the area. Capacity through the Century/Sepulveda intersection is significantly greater, such that the 96th/Sepulveda intersection will continue to be the southbound capaci- ty constraint. Maximum peak hour traffic levels through this inter- section destined to the Sepulveda tunnel were estimated as follows: Southbound Additional Traffic Through Traffic From Entering 96th Century Blvd. Tunnel V/C LOS 2,850 vph +1,550 vph 4,400 vph .90 E Conclusion: With.the 96th Street intersection operating at capacity (assuming a grade -separated 96th Street intersection) the southbound Sepulveda Tunnel would operate within level of service E (capacity): . limits (V/C o .90). If the 96th/ Sepulveda intersection is designed for greater capacity (e.g., a partial cloverleaf) then it is antici- pated that an additional 10 percent peak hour traffic would flow in the southbound direction, thereby causing level of service F opera- tions in the tunnel. If additional traffic demand to and from points east or north of LAX were to shift to Century Boulevard, the tunnel would become further congested. If the Sepulveda Boulevard/96th Street intersection is not improved, traffic flowing to the Sepulveda tunnel would be more constrained, -21- DeLEUW CATHER resulting in level of service D (moderate congestion) conditions in the tunnel. B. LINCOLN BOULEVARD The volumes through the 96th/Sepulveda intersection would equate to 2,850 vph southbound through the intersection of Sepulveda and Lin- coln. These volume levels would produce satisfactory operations at Lincoln, with an at -grade intersection. Conclusion: Lincoln Boulevard would not further constrain traffic beyond the constraints at 96th. If Lincoln Boulevard were to be grade -separated from Sepulveda, the 96th Avenue intersection would be further emphasized as the southbound capacity constraint. C. IMPERIAL HIGHWAY At the Imperial/Sepulveda intersection, peak northbound capacity- - restrained traffic volumes were derived as follows: Northbound Northbound Total Through Traffic Tunnel Imperial From I-105 Traffic V/C LOS 3,250 +1,500 vph 4,750 .97 E Conclusion: At capacity through an upgraded Imperial intersection (three through -lanes) the northbound tunnel would operate at LOS E (V/C - .97). Northbound traffic passing through the intersection .at Imperial, plus projected northbound traffic from the Century Freeway,..: would create an unstable flow condition through the tunnel as a three -lane facility. The above analysis is• based on three through -lanes at the northbound approach to the Imperial intersection. If a fourth through -lane is constructed in the northbound direction, enough traffic will pass through the intersection to allow level of service F to occur in the tunnel during the average peak hour. -22- Intersection TABLE 5 HOURLY CAPACITY OF SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD INTERSECTIONS Total Projected Unconstrained Approach Total Volumes Through Capacity Intersection Intersection EB WB SB NB Intersection Base Scenario V/C LOS Imperial and Sepulveda'Upgraded 1,100 950 3,620 3,500 9,150 10,250 1.12 F Lincoln and Sepulveda Upgraded 850 2,050 2,650 96th and Sepulveda Grade Separated -- South Signalized 1,100 2,700 4,350 Intersection Sepulveda and 96th Existing 850. 550 2,900 3,000 Intersection 5,550 8,150 7, 300 10,150 1.82 F 10,100 1.24 F 11,800 1.62 F DeLEUW CATHER D. TRAFFIC DEMAND Table 5 indicates that -at all locations, projected north -south demand will be such that intersections will operate at capacity during peak hours for the best scenario. The capacity of roadways, as discussed above, would provide a constraint to traffic flows in the project area. The area -wide demand can be expected to be sufficient to saturate the roadway system. In the case of the Specific Plan Scenario, which includes a north - south tunnel under the LAX runways east of Sepulveda, projections show that the Imperial/Sepulveda intersection would not be saturated with a total intersection volume of 7,700 vph, compared to an intersection capacity of 9,150 vph. Based on these traffic volumes, the northbound peak hour flow through the tunnel would be 3,550 vph, creating level of service D during peak hours. This level of service would not suggest the need for further widening of the tunnel. E. CONCLUSIONS The intersections within the Sepulveda Boulevard -LAX vicinity cur- rently (and will continue to) operate at extremely congested levels of service during peak hours. The introduction of the Century Freeway will further aggravate local area traffic problems by placing an additional traffic component into the system. Without the Century Freeway, not enough traffic would reach the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnels to cause recurrent congestion problems. However, with the introduction of the Century Freeway, traffic demands will increase through the tunnel (primarily due to—the locationof the Century Freeway relative to LAX) such that recurrent congestion can be expected to occur in the tunnels. This will be particularly pronounced in the northbound direction. The analysis in this report indicates that level of service E would be attained in the tunnel for average peak hour conditions. An analysis for design hour flows- increased to the 30th highest peak hour (typical for roadway design purposes) suggests that the design hour volumes would produce level of service F within the tunnel in the northbound direction. The concept of an Airport/Nash connector is a major possibility for alleviating peak period traffic flows. The results of this connector would be. however, to overload Airport Boulevard, Century Boulevard, Imperial Highway, Nash Street, and possibly Douglas Street. Major improvements to these facilities (e.g., additional through -lanes and double lefts), as well as improvements to I-105 ramps, would be -24- r r i i 1 1 1 1 1 1 i i 1 DeLEUW CATHER required. As a result, from an operational viewpoint, the Airport/ Nash connection is not necessarily seen as a major advantage to the operating condition of the area's roadway system. Instead, the provision of additional capacity at the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnels is a logical step toward accommodation of relatively direct freeway -to - airport travel. Since Sepulveda Boulevard is at the west end of the Century Freeway, significant turning demands are projected to occur at this junction. An expanded tunnel facility would accommodate all travel within the foreseeable future, given the constraints of the area's roadway system. • -25- L SECTION VI RECOMMENDATIONS A. CONCLUSIONS DeLEUW CATHER Based upon the analysis of probable traffic flows and improvements to the roadway network, the following conclusions have been reached: 1. Without an Airport/Nash connector, the introduction of the Century Freeway will allow enough traffic to enter the Sepulveda Boulevard tunnel in the northbound direction causing traffic volumes to exceed the desirable hourly design levels for this tunnel. Congestion in the northbound direction can be expected to cause periodic backups into the Sepulveda/Imperial intersec- tion. 2. Capacity improvements on Sepulveda Boulevard at 96th Avenue and Lincoln would allow enough southbound traffic to access the tunnels (destined for I-105 and points south) that would cause regular level of service E operations in the southbound direction within the tunnel. 3. Traffic from the WB I-105 ramp to NB Sepulveda and from SB Sepulveda to EB I-105 could be routed through parallel two-lane tunnels which would directly tie into the Airport upper/lower level roadway access system. 4. An Airport Boulevard/Nash Street connector would obviate the need to widen Sepulveda Boulevard but would require major widenings on Imperial Highway, Nash Street, Century Boulevard, and Airport Boulevard to handle increased traffic. In addition, 1-105 ramps would be overloaded. 5. Not enough directional split exists to build an additional two-lane tunnel that would be used for reversible flow opera- tions. B. RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that additional tunnel lanes in primarily the northbot,,,rl and, secondarily, the southbound direction on Sepulveda Boulevan:: !,c explored as an extension of the 1-105 ramp terminals. Particul.r attention should be paid to the westbound I-105 to north- bound Sepulveda movement, as this direct -connect ramp can be expected to regularly overload the tunnel capacity. -26- DeLEUW CATHER Without widening, traffic entering the northbound Sepulveda tunnel can be expected to back up from the tunnel, with queues forecasted to periodically extend into the Imperial Highway intersections, depending on weather, traffic volumes, and time of day. In the southbound direction, traffic backups can also be expected to periodically occur; however, backups into the airport access roadways, and other impacts due to queuing, are not foreseen to be as great a problem as the northbound queuing. Figure 8 shows a possible configuration for the I -105 -LAX connection tunnels. Features of the connections could allow for proper weaving of traffic between the I-105 ramps and Sepulveda Boulevard. Preliminary cost estimates have been prepared for the tunnel section, as described in the Appendix. Cost of the tunnel construction in 1985 dollars is estimated as follows: Northbound Southbound Total $13 - $38 million $13 - $38 million $26 - $76 million It is not fully known at this time whether construction of the tunnels is completely feasible. The potential items which have not been included in this analysis and would be subject to much more detailed engineering include: o Western Airlines Operations o Impact to aircraft operations o Subsurface conditions o Liability insurance requirements o Utility impacts and relocations o Ventilation Buildings Capacity problems in the existing northbound tunnel are forecasted to occur upon completion of the I-105 section between Sepulveda -arid. 1-405. Capacity problems in the southbound tunnel would occur after improvement of Sepulveda intersections at 96th and Lincoln. With additional tunnels, Sepulveda Boulevard and the ramp connections will operate at level of service C or better (stable flow) well beyond the design life of the Century Freeway. It must be questioned, therefore, whether this improvement would be cost-effective given the high cost of potential tunnel construction. Improved tunnel opera- tions wo'ild be of most benefit to I-105 ramp traffic, with free flow conditi(ws in the Sepulveda tunnel. The surrounding roadway network would, on the other hand, be operating at extremely congested condi- tions. As a result, it is recommended that this tunnel improvement be 27 break line EAST -WEST AIRPORT RUNWAYS EXISTING SEPULVEDA BLVD (3 lanes each direction) SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD MPERIAL HWY COLLECTOR/DISTRIBUTOR TUNNELS (2 lanes each direction) !,q �0 44RA Nq CFN, oR). /1/4 G 9r9 oG � ro SEPULVEDA BOULEVARD OPERATIONS ANALYSIS FIGURE 8 Suggested Tunnel Concept —� " DeLEUW CATHER balanced with other transportation infrastructure improvement priori- ties for the coastal area.

Construction technique and unit costs were selected as reasonable assumptions of what might be applicable for this situation. Design features, construction technique, and general assumptions on costs are detailed below. DESIGN FEATURES Based on measurements from recent aerial photography, it is estimated that the new tunnel will be approximately 2,115 feet in length. A typical section for a two-lane tunnel has been selected from AASHTO's Geometric Design of Highways and Streets, 1985, that will accommodate anticipated traffic volumes. (See attached Figure A-1). Two 12 foot travel lanes, a five-foot inside shoulder and 10 foot outside shoulder were used to size an appropriate tunnel section for estimating pur- poses. New independent alignments have been assumed that will not interfere with the existing tunnel. CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES Numerous approaches are available for construction of roadway tunnels, and the selection of the most appropriate or least costly method would, of course, need to be made after much more.detailed study. Two approaches have been identified that would yield an appropriate range of costs, including: 1) the cut -and -cover method and 2) tunneling by the hydraulically jacked shield method. The cut -and -cover. method would consist of using normal excavating techniques, possibly in combination with excavation support in criti- cal areas, to produce a trench. A reinforced concrete box would then: be constructed in the trench and, as soon as possible, the trench would be backfilled and the former surface restored. This method would require temporary closing of runways and taxiways as the work progressed, but has .the advantage of being much less costly than tunneling. The tunneling method would utilize soft ground, hydraulically jacked, chemical grout shields to provide a positive means of preventing settlement.. Excavation of the tunnel face would be by conventional equipment with muck trammed to the portal. After every 50 feet of excavation, a monolithic concrete lining would be placed and steel and timber temporary supports provided. This would be a very expensive method, but would not require closing of any runways or taxiways.

Background: At the August 25, 1987, City Council meeting, Mr. Robert Benz presented a letter (copy attached) to City Council requesting that a bench on 30th Street at Strand be replaced. Council requested that the matter be placed on the next Council agenda. Analysis: This analysis is broken into sections: 1. Historical 2. The Bench 3. Alternate Location 4. What to do? 1. HISTORICAL As a historical perspective: June 9, 1987: Mr. Mazirow requests removal of bench. June 12, 1987: City Manager directs removal -of bench. June 15, 1987: Public Works crew remove bench. August 4, 1987: Public Works Department sends a tree permit to Mr. Mazirow. This permit is issued under Section 22-23 of the Municipal Code and is valid for no longer than 30 days; hence, it will expire on September 4, 1987. Staff has been unable to reach Mr. Mazirow, but a field inspection on September 1, 1987, shows no planting to date. August 11, 1987: City Council receives petition from Mr. Benz with 109 signatures requesting replacement of the bench on 30th Street and Strand. City Council action was to refer this matter to the October 13th, 1987, Council meeting for analysis of implementing a Strand bench program. 1 9 August 13, 1987: Mr. Benz submits letter to Council requesting the bench be replaced. Council directs that the matter be placed on the next agenda. 2. THE BENCH The bench in question was located at the end of 30th Street (south side) just east of Strand. The property south of the bench is 2918 Strand. The bench was built by the City's Public Works Superintendent approximately 30 years ago. Should Council decide that a bench is necessary at this location, it could be replaced in kind by the same Public Works Superintendent who originally built the bench, within two weeks of material "delivery. 3. ALTERNATE LOCATION An alternate location is opposite the former location. My recollection is the petitioner said that the north side doesn't allow proper sunset view when sitting. I have personally investigated this and found it to be true. 4. WHAT TO DO? Given the petition and its support for replacement, it is the recommendation of the Public Works Department to replace the bench, in kind, to its former location. Alternatives: Other alternatives considered by staff and available to Council are: 1. Consider the matter at a later date. 2. Deny the request.

We are in the process of remodeling the house and it will be our permanent home. On the north side of our house, on city property, there is a very old bench which I believe is dangerous, among other things, due to the fact that it is somewhat unsteady and the wood has been splintered. Last Thursday night some unknown person or persons painted it pink. I enclose some recent photographs that I took of the property for your ease in viewing the situation. The existence and location of the bench causes people to loiter in the area and adds to the congestion of 30th Place because it is a main entry onto The Strand. Further, so far as I have been able to ascertain, it is the only bench on the entirety of The Strand in Hermosa Beach located in such a manner. I'respectfully request that the City either remove the bench or permit me to do so. AM:sw Enclosure cc (w/enc.): Very t my yours, 1,.

Ma4t4 3'79 G/�� RECEIVED AUG 18 1987 PUBLIC WORKS DEPS„ 8/13/87 s. Robert Benz 2901 Manhattan Avenue Hermosa Beach, California 9025'-I City Council of Hermosa Beach Hermosa Beach, California Subject: Replacement of the beach located at 30th Street and Strand. The action taken by the Council on 8/11/87 is unacceptable to the wishes of the 120 petitioners. The petition clearly request that the bench that has been located at 30th Street and Strand be reconstructed and replaced at the original location. The location of the bench afforded a beautiful view of the sunset. The action taken by the council on 8/11/87 sends the issue back to the staff For study on where to locate the bench. The action further delays the replacement of the bench. It is clear that the bench was removed without benefit of any such study. The removal was prompted by a complaint by ane property owner who does not reside at his property. The city manager indicated to the council that the bench was in a dilapidated state and that the bench was subject to vandalism. As a state licenced professional mechanical engineer, I can attest that the bench was structurally sound. The entire bench was recently painted which is hardly constitutes "vandalism" as mentioned by the city manager. As evident by majority opinion of residents, the removal was a mistake. The petitioners would like the bench be replaced at its original location with the same expediency that it was removed. If the action requires lengthy staff studies then the petitioners request that they be allowed to construct a bench and replace it at ..the original location at their own expense. s, Robe Peti 379- culator Honorable Mayor and members of the Hermosa Beach City Council As0,0- ' \5 r'541 -i5 J� 54 V September 3, 1987 City Council Meeting of September 8, 1987 H.R. 3155 AMENDING THE U.S. COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1972 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council make a policy determina- tion of whether they wish to take an advocacy position on HR 3155. BACKGROUND At the August 11, 1987 City Council meeting staff was directed to obtain a copy of this bill (it is attached). ANALYSIS This bill is sponsored by 16 congressmen including our own rep- resentative, the Hon. Mel Levine. It's intent is to require that federal activities (e.g. oil, gas and mineral lease sale activi- ties on the Outer Continental Shelf and the sale, transfer or lease of other Federal lands) within the coastal zone be conduct- ed in a manner consistent with State coastal management programs. In addition to the staff recommendation, other options available to the City Council are: 1. Receive and File, thereby taking no action 2. Refer back to staff for more analysis.

AGENDA ITEM 8 --prohibiting onshore support facilities for offshore oil drilling LOS ANGELES TIMES, Sunday, Aug. 9, 1987 Lawsuit filed against thirteen local governments by Western Oil and Gas Assn and the National Ocean Industries Assn, charging local ordinances unconstitutional infringements on the federal government and violates due process-, federal supremacy and commerce clauses of the Consti- tution. All the more reason we should support the proposed federAl legislation which recognizes state environmental guidelines. A2 The Daily Breeze Sat • Briefs Bill tackles coastal drilling. WASHINGTON — Three congressmen vowed Friday to push legislation that would - give coastal. States authority �n offshore oiiand gas leases, a power 'they say the Su- preme Court mistakenly took away in a 1984 ruling. The bill would require all' offshore drilling plans to -conform to_state environ- mental guidelines, said Reps. Michael -Lowry, D -Wash., Andy Ireland, R -Fla., and Leon Panetta, D -Calif. "It gives the states a voice," Panetta said at a news conference announcing' the bill's introduction... NM The State ,;.4 Legislation introdncedr by I16 House of Representatives members would give coastal states more power over activities significantly affecting their coastlines and over- turn the effects of a Supreme Court ruling. The bill requires that feder- al activities directly affecting•a coastal zone be consistent with; a state's coastal management plan. The measure could have the effect of overturning a 1984 Supreme Court decision in a California case that requires federal offshore • at.: tivities to be consistent • with ra state's coastal management plan only in the 3 -mile coastal zone. and not onshore or further outto sea: The bill would require that ail federal activities that affect the coastal zone be consistent with the to plan, regardless where they cur. 44(1 604-4 1'a • Thirteen local governments from Sonoma County to San Diego were named in a lawsuit that seeks to overturn ordinances that restrict construction of on -shore facilities to handle oil produced from federal leases on the Outer Continental Shelf. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court by the Western Oil and Gas Assn. and the National Ocean In- dustries Assn., asks the court to rule that the local ordinances are unconstitutional infringements on the federal government. Specifi- cally, the suit claims the local measures, which have been enact- ed by elected officials or adopted by voters, violate the due process, federal supremacy and commerce clauses of the Constitution. Named in the suit are the counties of Sonoma, Santa Cruz, San Mateo, Monterey, San Luis Obispo and San Diego, the combined city' and coun- ty of San Francisco, and -the cities of Monterey, Morro Bay, .Ocean. side, San Diego, San Ltiis Obispo and Santa Cruz. 5.j,&ovI iblidAseit °pro, /51 100TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION 11• I• 3 155 v To amend the Coastal Zone Management Act of .1972 regarding activities directly affecting the coastal zone.

BACKGROUND With the selection (1985) of the law firm Ochoa & Sillas to serve as City Attorney, the City Council has required that the City Attorney attend all meetings of the Planning Commission. Last month, as the Council was discussing revisions to the City Attor- ney Contract, the question was raised as to whether to continue the practice. ANALYSIS The original intent of having the City Attorney attend the Com- mission was based, I believe, on the following: 1. To provide direct, on the spot, legal advice to the Commission's proceedings; 2. To increase coordination of complex legal matters that were pre -destined to be heard by the City Council; 3. To increase the quality of deliberation, making of findings etc. by the Commission. Those bases still exist. This was done with the knowledge that there would be a cost. As it now stands this cost is as follows: Assume a 4 hour meeting: If hours are part of retainer, cost is ($46.25 x 4 ) S 184. If hours are regular rate, beyond retainer, cost is ($100 x 4) S400. 9d Options available to the City Council are: 1. Continue as is, having the City Attorney attend all Commission meetings. 2. Discontinue the practice. 3. Limit City Attorney attendance to select matters, e.g. General Plan amendments (quarterly/year), zone changes. 4. As needed, as determined by the Planning Director. 5TH TP1441-eiL Gr �ory e yer Ci y Manag r GTM/ld cc City Attorney Lough Planning Director Schubach .,/ -,6vi--r-r'-1) September 1, 1987 City Council Meeting September 8, 1987 Mayor and Members of the City Council VACANCIES - BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council appoint one member to the Planning Commission from the applications attached.

TM/acp August 29, 1987 Ms. Kathleen Midstokke City Clerk City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA. 90254 Dear Ms. Midstokke, Submitted herew-ith is an application to fill the vacancy on the Hermosa Beach Planning Commission as detailed by your notice dated August 17, 1987. My qualifications to apply for and to perform in this position are briefly described on the application and detailed herein. In 1898 my great grandfather, Henry Howard Green, built one of the early homes in Hermosa Beach at 2424 Silverstrand. The house existed until the late 1960's. Including my children five generations of my family have enjoyed the wonderful climate and unique lifestyle this community has had to offer. I personally spent every summer of my childhood living at the Silverstrand residence. As an adult, I have returned to Hermosa twice. I rented a residence at 1121 Bayview Drive from 1969 to 1971 and in June of 1986 my wife and I purchased our current residence at 501 Fourth Street. The enclosed application implies that I have a professional background employed in an advanced technology discipline. After earning a Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Engineering from Northrop University in Inglewood I accepted an enginnering position•at Lockheed California Company. Then for several years I was employed by a small company in Van Nuys, first as an engineer and susequently as a Marketing Manager. In April of 1983 I accepted a position as a Marketing Manager for Hughes Aircraft's Microwave Products Division in Torrance. I have been there ever since. My responsibilities include developing business opportunities for my division, providing guidance for our sales force, and participating in company planning and strategy meetings. I am often called upon to make presentations to management and customers. My reputation among my professional and personal acquaintances is that of a person with a level headed "common sense" approach to problem resolution and as a good team player. Participating in community activities, especially those concerning civic responsibility has always been a goal of mine. I feel that my family and personal experience with the City of Hermosa Beach and my professional background and training uniquely qualifies me for consideration for this vacancy. Please do not hesitate to contact me either at my office or home for clarifications of any of the material presented or for additonal information. Sincerely, Kenneth F.
