Project manager Maria Maldonago presented staff’s analysis, describing the site as roughly 17,500 square feet with two existing brick buildings (the small jailhouse at 203 Richmond Street and a two‑story brick building), and a proposed total building area of about 19,312 square feet after additions. The proposal includes retail on the ground floor, office on the second floor and six residential units above. Staff said the project substantially complies with the Downtown Specific Plan design criteria and that the required findings for design review could be made. Because the development could not provide conventional at‑grade parking without affecting the historic foundations, the applicant proposed an automated robotic parking mechanism that stacks vehicles three high and three deep; staff required a peer review of the parking demand study to verify operational performance.
The city commissioned a peer review by a traffic engineering consultant (peer reviewer reported as Kimley‑Horn in the project record) to evaluate whether the automated mechanism would provide sufficient parking and not create traffic impacts in the alley or on adjacent streets. Staff summarized the peer review conclusion that the proposed system can supply the required parking for the mix of uses and operate without materially affecting peak‑hour traffic or alley access. Staff recommended conditions that require residents and second‑floor office users to prioritize use of the mechanism and reserve surface parking for short‑turnover retail customers.
Applicant representatives described the design intention to preserve the jailhouse and integrate new materials that reflect the Downtown Specific Plan’s “eclectic” character. Developer Mark Telez and architect David Bellion explained that the project preserves the jailhouse and steps new construction back from it, and that the automated system was chosen to avoid excavation that could damage the old foundations. The architect said the design intentionally blends brick, concrete and metal in a contemporary manner to complement the Richmond Street district.
Commission discussion focused on character and preservation questions, operational details of the robotic parking system (including user access, how the system retrieves vehicles and whether EV charging could be integrated) and whether the design as presented satisfies the downtown standards. Staff and the applicant clarified that EV charging will be provided at surface spaces and not inside the robotic mechanism, and that residents and frequent users would be trained to use the system via an app. The commission approved the design review and the parking adjustment by a 4–0 vote; staff will finalize conditions requiring demonstrations, operation and maintenance plans for the mechanism and recordation of the approved plans.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting - Thursday, July 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Commission approved design review for a three‑story mixed‑use project that preserves two brick buildings and a parking adjustment to count spaces provided by an automated robotic parking mechanism; vote was 4–0.","taxTitle","El Segundo City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",70907,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6174979,"Commission approves Urban Golf Performance fitness studio in Smoky Hollow after finding minimal impacts",242,2596000,2838000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5362989-10d7f983cfb5c0714be4cf69383d12c5&start=2596&end=2838","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5362989-10d7f983cfb5c0714be4cf69383d12c5/thumbnail_2596000.jpg","/articles/6174979/El-Segundo-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Commission-approves-Urban-Golf-Performance-fitness-studio-in-Smoky-Hollow-after-finding-minimal-impacts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174979-8207f1e40fcd9ee830585f843276f669/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169591&Signature=ArNL2oVxJway9IlSXr4cPDoDYIkaLj5zk9NLbziCN6360Q0s~-ajmhN~4Ifaur8HyHscYlHd-mrEW4fWsgzjmmLslj-A-yi1QwVixF1aqdInAchqR0WYqwVJh3B6mlZ94p0XLLXvqzBwQgpXEpYlTHOt6sCisfSt11mABkUuU53uwRgdnc~29wIurr3IwEGDA8H4ByJLeRMJiD-H6GuSLXIctF~YL9LMf3ZEQ9uwIIRvX-Z2yj2-f-Cg165A5rC8xTaW7eUqy5WFbjxUdENWtnZVYKwaFU4Y1owOP1l~pXOgkRu2fc7ndkxJ~tq7Imtn-VHbeLfrk~~0AgP1BSRb4Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission on July 10 approved a conditional use permit for Urban Golf Performance (UGP) at 139 Maryland Street in the Smoky Hollow East zone, concluding staff’s findings that the proposed fitness studio will be compatible with surrounding uses and meet code standards.
Planner Jasmine (presenting staff report) said the site is an existing single‑story industrial building on an 18,590-square-foot parcel; the building footprint is about 9,595 square feet with 17 on-site parking spaces plus an off-site allocation of seven spaces. Under the Smoky Hollow specific plan, a fitness studio larger than 2,500 square feet requires planning commission approval. Staff found the project consistent with the specific plan and El Segundo Municipal Code section 15-24-6(a), that the use will not be detrimental to public welfare, and that appropriate conditions will mitigate impacts.
Applicant Brian Gallagher, general manager of UGP, described the business model as appointment-based, private one‑on‑one golf performance and physical‑therapy‑style services. Gallagher said UGP’s other facilities in the Los Angeles area are smaller (around 5,000–6,000 square feet) and that the Maryland Street location would focus on controlled sessions and low trip generation. He said the facility would require reservations and would not offer memberships, and he described typical hours as \"Monday through Thursday, 6AM to 7,\" plus a limited half‑day on one weekend day (applicant wording as recorded in the hearing).
Commissioners asked about parking and trip generation; staff and the applicant said the appointment-based model plus on-site and off-site spaces was sufficient for the proposed use. Conditions in the approval limit ancillary uses (for example, sale of alcohol would require separate approvals) and require compliance with the checklist in the staff report. The commission approved the conditional use permit by a 5–0 vote.
The approval permits the conversion and limited exterior modifications described in staff materials and carries standard conditions to ensure compliance with the Smoky Hollow specific plan and municipal code.","The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve a conditional use permit for Urban Golf Performance, a golf-focused fitness and training studio in the Smoky Hollow East zone; staff found the use consistent with the specific plan and required findings under the municipal code.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6174984,"Commission grants third one-year extension for vesting tentative map at North Pacific Coast Highway",355,1806000,2161000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5362989-10d7f983cfb5c0714be4cf69383d12c5&start=1806&end=2161","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5362989-10d7f983cfb5c0714be4cf69383d12c5/thumbnail_1806000.jpg","/articles/6174984/El-Segundo-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Commission-grants-third-one-year-extension-for-vesting-tentative-map-at-North-Pacific-Coast-Highway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174984-6c5b81735d5c1f2f186bc813d0efa7b0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169591&Signature=gAQhTmSHsjZfMc66N5R6Ewv8RtKVEpEmHU52kYkBoJ6CmuJkJyy3IRMAM7b18TOvJjkxHh6qZmX19VgcfEh274JToFlc-Ziw6nn7I9d6YgcBqZTGCwYZ8TI0cM-eV6Mp6D-Y18KJmdfzLhr6pQiaN0-V7bixJQU4QAmhIHfMR~3xaBhsd4eaiarhkHpIK0qh~dmtSves7VEks808lQeb8gNBn3biKiWxnS0zQr-t62eCcX8Ch1rkcGz9lJLGXnYovyBf4PGExJCHgyeHi8iPAxqrO7A46F93o7-HeU82KrTs7ofC2J~-7yu14p0YfOBv3574LOiPGdBrL5opVpX9mw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Alsaguenre Planning Commission on July 10 approved a third one-year extension for the vesting tentative parcel map that covers properties at 650–700 North Pacific Coast Highway and 737 Carl Jacobson Way, moving the map’s new expiration to May 18, 2026.
Planning staff said the project—originally approved in 2021—includes the remodel of two office buildings (identified in staff materials as Office Buildings A and B) and a net increase of about 70,000 square feet of office space, together with a parking structure discussed in the staff report. The applicant requested a timely extension under the Subdivision Map Act; staff noted the developer may request up to five annual extensions under state law and the city’s code, and that entitlement rights extend with the map while the extensions are granted.
Amavir Bridal, representing the property owner and applicant for the 650 PCH project, told the commission that market conditions—high construction costs and elevated interest rates—have delayed construction since entitlements were granted in 2021. Bridal said the ownership team is working to address site maintenance issues including repainting, broken windows and landscaping and has been coordinating with staff to complete those repairs.
Staff recommended adoption of Resolution No. 2966 to authorize the one-year extension; the commission approved the resolution 5–0. Staff said no changes to the project or map are proposed as part of the extension; the new expiration date on the vesting tentative map will be May 18, 2026. Staff advised the commission that, to preserve approvals beyond that date, applicants typically must submit construction plan check or additional extension requests before expiration.
The extension permits the applicant to retain the approved entitlements while market and project-level conditions are assessed; staff and the applicant indicated additional extensions remain possible within state law limits.","The Planning Commission approved a third one-year extension for the vesting tentative parcel map covering properties at North Pacific Coast Highway and Carl Jacobson Way; the map will now expire May 18, 2026.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6174989,"Planning Commission approves alcohol service for Chargers training facility with amended boundaries",156,858000,1014000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5362989-10d7f983cfb5c0714be4cf69383d12c5&start=858&end=1014","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5362989-10d7f983cfb5c0714be4cf69383d12c5/thumbnail_858000.jpg","/articles/6174989/El-Segundo-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Planning-Commission-approves-alcohol-service-for-Chargers-training-facility-with-amended-boundaries","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174989-9ff7ff457f16c4813231db831c2e8de9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169591&Signature=YFyjA8prltsAgy-IAjt~EeY4gXVMFW6~of6Tnlf2X0ZCF1Gup75kCwuSKpfrkfIfb8F6PKCeUlY9QFTZm~5b7nnXHHE6dLh9kabteBN8YjIXp4nwSw2ltf-HoDao7NgQSIUFgEyUVcg7kA6UF9dsuygpzFS4hBT-FyZGV6G~so8x9qYCRvvOTrdu5GIEXU~Xq3nEnS3ARr1YgUAker1dSt-dThEbOwt3kM1lDOEGoa-iz6PUPB7Xy9UKoio1cuUzFJPE6e7wA46BqVYNkdKCoKCZlEmGn247qNVWfxssi6mX7D~2XEv4Zn5qXGsdmzdW5r~8uYmurZ7K4j4fH9AkIw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Alsaguenre Planning Commission on July 10 approved an administrative use permit allowing alcohol service at the Chargers’ new private club and restaurant at the Chargers training facility, with an amendment that narrows where alcohol may be served.
Staff presented the request for on-site sale of beer, wine and distilled spirits at a private members-only club and an existing restaurant inside the Chargers’ 150,000-square-foot training campus. Staff said the restaurant would operate under an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) required by the South El Segundo Specific Plan and that the applicant will apply for a Type 57ABC license. Proposed hours listed in staff materials are 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.; the application also anticipated live entertainment and alcohol service on a third-floor terrace and in conference rooms.
The amendment approved by the commission limited alcohol service \"to the confines of the building, including terraces and balconies on the second and third floors, and the practice fields,\" excluding parking areas. Maria Baldenegro, planning staff, described the site and summarized staff’s findings that the AUP conditions would mitigate noise and other impacts and that the required findings for approval could be made.
Applicant representative Steve Rawlings told the commission the team \"concur[s] with the staff's recommendation and agree[s] to all the conditions of approval as presented to you this evening,\" and described the club as a private-members venue aimed at corporate and corporate-guest use. Rawlings said the club would be invitation- or membership-only and that the team sought flexibility to host events in multiple areas of the facility.
Commissioners discussed whether the facility lobby should be included. Staff and the applicant agreed that the approval should be amended to explicitly allow service within the building and on specified terraces and practice fields; staff said it would memorialize the edited condition in the AUP approval letter. The commission then moved to approve the AUP with the amended condition and voted 5–0.
The approval is administrative and conditioned; staff told the commission the applicant must secure an appropriate state ABC license and comply with the conditions in the AUP letter, which will be updated to reflect the amended area for service. The approval does not authorize service in parking lots or other exterior areas not specified in the amended condition.
For next steps, staff will update the director’s approval letter and conditions of approval to include the amended language the commission read into the record.","The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve an administrative use permit allowing alcohol service at the Chargers training facility, adding an amended condition to limit service to interior building areas, terraces on the second and third floors, and the practice fields.","actionData","errors"]
