The commission also approved the consent calendar item to adopt the minutes from its previous meeting (January 23), again by unanimous voice/roll call.

Commissioners noted the commission’s reduced membership and encouraged applications for open planning commissioner seats; staff said the application window for new commissioners would remain open for roughly two more weeks and interviews would be scheduled by the city manager’s office.

With the chair and vice chair confirmed, the commission closed its meeting and moved on to the remainder of its agenda.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting - Thursday, February 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The El Segundo Planning Commission elected a chair and vice chair for calendar year 2025 by unanimous vote.

Staff said the city has required either a payment or the provision of public art on developments with redevelopment valuation of at least $2,000,000 since February 2019. Under the proposed amendments, a developer could, for example, pay part of the fee in cash and provide onsite or other approved artwork for the remainder; staff said the Cultural Development Committee and staff would review and value proposed art contributions.

The proposed ordinance would also cap the cash-in-lieu amount at $1,000,000 even if the one-percent calculation exceeded that figure. Staff told commissioners the cap arose from a City Council direction that revisited a conversation from 2019; council members discussed different cap levels before settling on $1,000,000 as a starting point.

Commissioners discussed how the cultural development fund has been used and its balance. Staff said receipts have varied: in some years the in-lieu collections were about $28,000 and in other years totaled roughly $1.9 million; annual programming budgets have generally been on the order of $350,000, supported by a fund balance that smooths year-to-year variance. Staff said funds in the cultural development fund are restricted to programming and art-related items specified in the ordinance and guidelines.

Commissioners asked about the valuation and approval process for artwork offered in lieu of cash. Staff said proposed art and its valuation go before the Cultural Development Committee (ACC) for review under the city’s Cultural Development Guidelines; the committee evaluates medium, location, artist credentials and public accessibility and makes recommendations to council. Staff confirmed the committee has authority to recommend approval, modification or denial.

A motion to adopt Resolution No. 2961, recommending City Council adopt the ordinance amending Title 15, Chapter 34 (Cultural Development) to allow split payments, cap the cash-in-lieu at $1,000,000 and change payment timing, passed on a roll call vote: Commissioner Christian, Commissioner Inga and Vice Chair Maguire each recorded “aye.” The motion passed 3-0.

Staff told the commission the commission may offer recommendations on the ordinance language and that City Council will consider the commission’s recommendations before final action.","The Planning Commission voted 3-0 to recommend changes to the Art in Public Places program that would allow developers to combine cash and onsite art to meet the 1% requirement, cap the cash-in-lieu at $1 million and adjust payment timing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":79,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6328690,"Planning commission backs ordinance to revise multifamily parking rules, allow limited tandem spaces",576,405000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2317149-1627b88f6680b65e18660f3c73e197c3&start=405&end=981","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2317149-1627b88f6680b65e18660f3c73e197c3/thumbnail_405000.jpg","/articles/6328690/El-Segundo-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Planning-commission-backs-ordinance-to-revise-multifamily-parking-rules-allow-limited-tandem-spaces","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6328690-32cdfbe29b9de892294128c2b7fc558f/orig.mp4?Expires=1774928834&Signature=aittSzt1PC3mVXw2eyQ8j6ksU0lLoH~s9TkYQOSDrrsFYIchLVoA6uWKfMFXZ3LhLDOn2DhNeFQjjh0udDr6d2y7HGh0DeTrtnWZnC8GIEPQ3kflsmGppqx7R7UDdmXdbYQi6zibIiqzgWmqCK5wySQoxsQMHmzRw3sZ5SczJmwicTdSiA2OpOzvAyytPkCu1WM-rgTwaAkgqo8nWq7hO2PWxZGTxXctXye3NfQQbFDJRMWk6QbVKdPoSMfLfie7BkQG06fDIA-ctL-WPLFPOSJz2dJqzffnrOXdfRGJIIFinTMr4C~wYJJIrC1dJ8zKB-4RaVhu-Ji5WWQnBf7Egg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The El Segundo Planning Commission on Jan. 23 voted 3-0 to recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance amending the municipal code’s off-street parking rules for multifamily residential development.

The measure would replace the city’s current uniform requirement of two parking spaces per dwelling unit plus one guest space per three units with a sliding scale tied to unit size: one space for studio units, 1.5 spaces for one-bedroom units and two spaces for two-bedroom units, modeled on the Pacific Coast Commons specific plan. The ordinance would also allow up to 20% of required resident parking to be configured in tandem pairs, subject to controls intended to limit spillover and nonuse.

Staff member Paul, presenting the zone text amendment, said the change implements Program No. 9 of the city’s housing element, which aims to remove regulatory barriers to housing construction. Paul told commissioners the ordinance would include restrictions common elsewhere: tandem stalls would be limited to two spaces in depth and each tandem pair would be assigned to the same residential unit.

Commissioners did not receive public comment on the item. A commissioner said the change appeared “very straightforward” and consistent with earlier direction from the commission to adopt a sliding scale and to study tandem parking allowances.

After discussion, a motion to adopt Resolution No. 2954 — recommending council adoption of an ordinance amending El Segundo Municipal Code Title 15, Chapter 15, Off-Street Parking and Loading — passed on a roll call vote: Commissioner Christian, Commissioner Inga and Vice Chair Maguire each recorded “aye.” The motion passed 3-0.

The ordinance language before the commission mirrors the Pacific Coast Commons approach and explicitly allows tandem parking only as a limited design flexibility rather than a replacement for required resident parking. Staff noted they had reviewed parking rules in other cities and Institute of Transportation Engineers guidance as background for the proposal.

If City Council adopts the ordinance as recommended, the city’s multifamily parking calculations and allowances for tandem spaces would change citywide; staff presented the amendment as the final item under Program No. 9, one of 11 programs in the housing element meant to facilitate housing production.

The commission’s action was a recommendation; final adoption would be by City Council.","El Segundo Planning Commission voted 3-0 to recommend City Council adopt an ordinance that changes multifamily residential parking from a flat rate to a bedroom-based sliding scale and allows up to 20% of required resident spaces to be tandem, with limits.","actionData","errors"]
