The Indian Gaming Facility itself will be located on a 10.3 acre parcel within the total project area generally bounded by Amado Road, Calle El Segundo, Andreas Road, and Calle Encilia. Director of Planning&Building reported that the environmental assessment was prepared by Mooney; that the General Plan amendment relates to a series of amendments to clarify land 116•- , use policies on and around the site and to remove two streets from the circulation element, 002) which will facilitate the eventual abandonment of tlrose rights-of-way;that the land use portion relates to a series of amendments regarding gaming uses and entertainment type use; that emphasis is on full service resort hotels around the facility, and an attempt to develop a core similar to those on Tahquitz- Wyndham, Spa, etc; that the GPA identifies Tribally held land only where the casino could go; that there are a series of actions to amend the Zoning Text regarding the PDD to follow the General Plan amendment language and permit process, therefore; also a small adjustment as to how future parking will be looked at in the C-1-AA and R-4VP,recognizing that because of the Convention Center and Gaming, additional parking lots could be in demand in this area; that the PDD approval is for the preliminary district, and .9 Council Minutes 9-7-94, Page 2 1. TRIBAL GAMING FACILITY (Continued) final plans must be approved by the Commission and the Council prior to permit issue. He displayed various exhibits showing the main traffic impact areas, the parking provided in both Phase I and Phase II, noting that it was based on a very detailed traffic report; that a portion of the Post Office parking area, from which 103 parking spaces will be displaced, and those will have to be provided within 500 feet of the Post Office; that the Hilton Hotel tennis courts would be removed, and 4 of them relocated to the Prairie Schooner site- a future application for a use permit would be required and is not a part of this process, other than through the environmental assessment. He detailed Phase II parking, the parking structure, its relationship to the surrounding properties, its overall height, and that it has been approved in concept, and final architectural design is required; that the total parking is reasonable,and perhaps somewhat more than projected for Phase II; that no buses will be parked on site, and the location is not yet finalized, but the current thinking is staging from the Airport; that the parking structure height would be about 37.5 feet, the nearest residential unit would be 126 feet away, and possibly it could be depressed, although not totally underground; that there is compliance with both the City and Indian highrise ordinances; that the setback on Amado Road will be less, as it is not possible to otherwise achieve the parking structure. He also displayed rendering showing the facility, as well as interior and exterior colors and possible materials; and an aerial showing the overall relationship of the project to other surrounding properties. He stated that the Planning Comnnission did not approve a specific parking structure design, and conditions require some reconsideration of the design element; that public comment was received regarding the project and its impact, and letters and responses have been provided to the Council as supplement to his staff report. Bill Graham, Brian Mooney Associates, stated that the environmental assessment and mitigated negative declaration also satisfy national environmental regulations and will be used by the National Gaming commission in its review of the project; that the salient issues are traffic based on projections of the project, for which there is little history for this type use; that the Gaming Task Force thought the projections were too high; that the peak demand was determined to be between 10 and 11 p.m., and 625 spaces would be needed, and 1093 in ' Phase II during that peak period; that the large parking structure will be a substantial obstruction to at least two condominium units, and the report contains a worst case analysis, which could be lessened with setbacks and landscaping, and the overall level of significance was not that great. City Attorney reviewed in detail the Memorandum of the Director of Economic Development, a copy of which is on file with the City Clerk, describing the option agreement, the disposition and development agreement with the Tribe, which results in the ultimate conveyance of four parcels from the Agency, two of which the Agency currently owns, and two of which will have to be acquired; that the DDA does not require condemnation, but it could be utilized if tlue Agency desired to do so; that the DDA is based on the MOU with the Tribal Council. He reported that under the Community Redevelopment Law, the Agency is required to prepare a report and make certain findings before voting to approve the sale of land acquired with tax increment funds (the Summary Report has been prepared and is on file with the City Clerk); that the purpose of the report is to determine the cost of the agreement to the Agency, the value of the interest being conveyed at the highest and best value and at the reuse value subject to the restrictions of the agreement, the purchase price with an explanation of why it is less than the fair market value; and finally, an explanation of why the agreement will assist in the elimination of blight; that several parcels are being sold at fair market value, however, overall the Agency is conveying the four parcels for a sum which is collectively less than fair market value, i.e., the Prairie Schooner and Fire Station parcels are being conveyed at fair market value, and the conveyance of the Hirsch and Post Office parcels is at no cash, which is substantially less than their fair market value; and that the justification is that without such assistance, the casino would not be developed in the downtown location, and possibly not be developed at all. He stated that the environmental assessment analyzes the alternatives and concludes [bat none would be superior to the downtown location, which it is believed will create the largest economic benefit to the community and meet the goals of the General Plan and Redevelopment Plan to enhance the downtown. Mayor declared the bearing open. Jack Titus spoke in opposition to a parking structure, and commented on the negative impacts of parking structures to surrounding aesthetics, in general, and urged that other options be explored. �?-21 0 Council Minutes 9-7-94, Page 3 1. TRIBAL GAMING FACILITY (Continued) Jerry Murphy, President of the Plaza Villas Homeowner Association, stated that the item still of concern to them is the entrance to the parking,which aligns with the condominium project's guest parking, and they are afraid it may be used by gaming patrons, and suggested other options for Phases I and II; that they are hopeful something other than a parking structure will evolve in Phase TI, perhaps a level below ground to reduce the overall height and bulk; and ' he urged that every option be explored. John Casey, Rossmoor Hotel, spoke in favor of the project. Dee Dee Stone stated that the City should not be in the position of negotiating for properly, and if it is needed, the Tribe should do its own negotiations. Dick Sroda stated that there has been no agreement to relocate the Post Office or where buses will be parked, without which traffic solutions cannot be addressed, in that he felt it was impossible to get in and out of the Post Office now; thatjust because the land is owned by the Indians, does not mean people should not be concerned; that the MOUs is not a legally binding document; that unless there is $18.5 million net profit, the City will not receive any income, and he question who will pay for the extra police, fire and code enforcement that will be required; that "garners" will not necessarily spend money elsewhere; that there is a surplus of new card tables permitted; that gaming will change the complexity of the City; that he favored a 60-day delay for the community to be heard; and that this will be dic most important decision in the history of the City. Selena Tracer commented on the decline in her rental property value, and urged not making it difficult for the gaming to proceed. Tom Pettit, member of the Gaming Task Force, stated that he feels the traffic projection and parking factors are over-inflated, excessive, and impossible to obtain, and do not make sense in terms of the square footage, the number of tables, of the number of employees, as to what other casinos are doing, and he would be happy to discuss it with anyone before the numbers ' are set. He added that there will be a lot of buses to jump start the operation. Tom O'Connell spoke in support of Caesar's, and expressed opinion that it will benefit the City, and that Metrolink will ease the parking demand. Don Frank submitted DRA letters, regarding public or private landownership and giving away public land for Indian gaming on non Tribal land; and that the trans fer of the Prairie Schooner and Fire Station sites is not legal without competing bids. He read from his letter - copy of which is on file with the City Clerk. Ed Kibbey, representing the Building Industry Association Desert. Chapter, stated that the Chapter supports the project, and urged approval. Simon Hausman, Economic Develop Commissioner, urged approval, adding that the location gives depth to the downtown area; that the project has been thoroughly and professionally planned, and the Tribe has responded to the City's concerns in a professional and sensitive manner. Darrell Meeks stated that if the action is legal, the Council should approve the project, and he hoped that the parking structure would not go forward. Fred Ebeling urged that Mr. ]Franks concerns be examined, and that the City avoid any added litigation costs. Lucille Valfck favored the casino, and expressed opinion that any technical or legal aspects can ' be resolved. Joe Carroll, Caesar's World, commended the Council, staff and Commission for ids work in responding to the complex issues of the projects, and stated that the Tribal Council made an unbelievable effort to accommodate the requests during the environmental assessment and planning processes, and the many concerns and emotions about gaining were also addressed. Council Minutes 9-7-94, Page 4 1. TRIBAL GAMING FACILITY (Continued) Dr. A. Greenwald slated that the casino will have to have a$100 million profit before the City will get back what it will spend in police and fire services, and that there is skepticism that many businesses will benefit from it; and that his concern is that the project not cost the City too much money. Jim Jones urged approval. There were no further appearances, and the hearing was closed. Mayor stated that the City will receive 2-3% over the first $18 million; that it benefits from the 10.8% room tax, including payment of 50% of the tax from the Spa Hotel; and that there is more benefit than just what goes into gaming. In response to numerous questions by Councilmember Kleindienst and the Mayor, Director of Planning & Zoning clarified portions of his presentation detailing the parking structure, building heights, traffic patterns, and design considerations. He noted that the casino will have distinct entryways, and the vacated "streets" will not just be part of the parking lot; that the requirement for detailed architecture of the parking structure is reflected in the recommended conditions of approval; that the preliminary PD establishes land use parameters, size, height and location of buildings; that prior to submittal of the plans there will be another parking study and the plans prepared accordingly. Mr. Carroll also responded to questions, noting that lease or acquisition of parcels north of Amado is a possibility to handle overflow of surface parking, also in the event the Post Office site is not acquired, it could be used as a secondary consideration; that the traffic study data was used to design the entry points and address the flow of traffic, which will be in the best interest of the project and surrounding areas; that if there are specific access points to reconsider, they can be addressed, however, they impact other factors; that the alternative to ' El Segundo is Amado Road, however, it is a heavily travelled street, and both the casino and parking structure exit onto it, and El Segundo would be safer; that most of the Plaza Villas units are oriented SW and NE, and the parking structure site has the least impact on the complex, and the proposed 37 ft. height is less than most of the trees on that site; that the style of architecture was reflected in 25 renditions,worked through with the Tribal Council,and that a distinctive look is needed to discern the casino from other cormnercial buildings and to achieve what they are trying to portray; that the Airport is the prime location of parking buses, and it is possible to find an alternative, however, the responsibility for the location is clearly that of the application, and they are willing to address any of the points raised, as long as it does not impact the timeframe for the project. He stated he was willing to work with staff on the design, number of parking spaces and height of the structure, but needed to know that the structure in its proposed location is part of the approved plan. Comments, questions and responses were exchanged between the Director of Planning & Zoning, Mr. Carroll and the Council, with respect to working in cooperation with each other to mitigate the overall height of the parking structure, the need for it in Phase II if other alternatives are pursued, and technical solutions that might mitigate its impact, e. g., partially submerged first level. Mr. Carroll added that Phase II is an important part of Phase I and serves to mitigate matters in the environmental assessment, and he preferred language that they will try to optimize the parking situation in Phase II, but opposed deleting the parking structure at this time. Director of Planning& Zoning stated that the conditions of approval sufficiently cover the concerns, and that staff will continue working with the Tribe and Caesars World, recognizing the worse case scenario would be a 4-story parking structure; that Mr. Carroll is stating that they can build Phase Il without reliance on other properties; that they have been working with Caesar and Tom Davis closely on this issue, recognizing that the parking structure is possibly the most controversial. Councilmember Hodges stated that the parking structure has been in the documents and it is no surprise; that she has faith that the Tribe will do what is best for the community aesthetically and in terms of necessary parking, and the opportunity must be given when the time comes; that there is vacant land in the area and there may be other options, but she was not opposed to approving it as presented. Council Minutes 9-7-94, Page 5 1. TRIBAL GAMING FACILITY (Continued) Councilmember Lyons stated he was part of the Council subcon-m ittee, and the attitude has been one of cooperation, creative solutions, and open to the needs of the community; that he trusted there would be more discussion when the time comes if there are logistical or configuration problems. Mayor concurred that they have been cooperative and sensitive to the surrounding area. ' Councihmember Reller-Spurgin stated that with a project of this size, not everyone will be happy, but the big picture and the cotmnunity's best economic interest must be considered. In response to question by Council, City Attorney stated that Mr. Frank's cotmnients were previously included in a letter, to which he previously responded to each point; that Class 11 gaming is all that is allowed, and the proposal does not contain any illegal gaming; that the property remains in the Redevelopment Project area, and there is no amendment to the boundaries; that the contract is as legal as other contracts the Tribe enters into; that the fundamental issue of Mr. Frank is that somehow there should have been a competitive bid process, however, there is no one else that could have delivered this type of project; that the Agency does not have to go to bid on such projects; that it has been indicated that if the project is not successfully concluded, other proposals could be considered; and that Mr. Frank's point is that the Agency is violating its contract with DRA, which is incorrect, in that the March, 1992 MOU only provides that there will be some sort of monorail between the Airport and the Convention Center and never mentions the Prairie Schooner site; and that the processes are legal, and there is not question about legality. Director of Planning&Zoning reported that all final plans will be reviewed; that the:proposed actions approves the PDD land use, site plan subject to conditions and further evaluation of the parking structure; and that the issues raised in discussion are covered in the conditions of approval with additional dialogue. City Attorney reported that regarding the DDA, there are minor changes in the proposed , resolution, and a revised document has been prepared, relating to terminology of parking and schedule of performance, and provisions regarding compliance with the Subdivision Map Act concerning the Prairie Schooner site.

He , responded to question by Council, noting that replacement of older vehicles is an existing condition in the contract; that the original contract was for four years, with one extension up to 3 years, which was approved; that Mrs. Miller is heavily involved in the operation, and he recommended that the owners continue to seek certification, which is an advantage to the Airport, but that the lack thereof is not reason to terminate the agreement; that the final expiration would be September 1997, and some vehicles would be immediately replaced; and that a vehicle inspection program by the CHP is in progress for non privately-operated vehicles. He also stated that the Airport needs a 3% disadvantaged business certification ratio, and the FAA would like up to 10%; that the inclusion of the new rental car agreements, could result in stringent clauses for'bidders, as well as for restaurants, and the only way to achieve the 3%, will be from a large percentage of the rental car operations. Councilmember Reller-Spurgin stated she attended the Airport Coranission meeting, and it made a proviso that the WBE be a goal of Country Club Limousine;, and that if the contractor was unable to achieve the WBE, which was not a part of the original contract, it was not fair to add another condition at the eleventh hour.
