ORDINANCE NO. 2164
An ordinance OF THE CITY Council OF the
CIty of HAWTHORNE adopting A CATEGORICAL
EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT AND
APPROVing ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT
2018ZA06 amending TITLE 17 OF THE
HAWTHORNE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD
CHAPTER 17.100, TEST ELEVATOR AND
SPUR, and amending SECTION 17.18.020,
PERMITTED USES, to establish a process
FOR ALLOWING a test elevator/spur connecting
the existing test tunnel under 120th Street
to aN enclosed garage of a private residence
for the purpose of examining the capabilities
of a zero-emissions, underground travel option
for personal vehicles with approval of a Conditional
Use Permit IN THE HIGH-DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL ZONE (R-3) AND MAKING
FINDINGS IN SUPPORT THEREOF
WHEREAS, on May 2, 2018, The Boring
Company Corporation (“Applicant”) filed a
complete application requesting to amend
Chapter 17.18 (R-3 High-Density Residential)
and to add Chapter 17.100, Test Elevator and
Spur, to Title 17 (Zoning) of the Hawthorne
Municipal Code (“HMC”) to establish a process
in which a Test Elevator/Spur connecting the
existing Test Tunnel under 120th Street to the
enclosed garage of a private residence for
the purpose of examining the capabilities of
a zero-emissions, underground travel option
for personal vehicles may be permitted with
approval of a Conditional Use Permit in the R-3
Zone and concurrently filed a complete application
for a Conditional Use Permit (2018CU05)
to establish a Test Elevator/Spur on a property
located at 3834 119th Place (“Project”); and
WHEREAS, the Applicant was previously
approved to construct a two-mile long tunnel
for the research and development of a
zero-emission, underground travel option for
personal vehicles extending from the property
located at 12200 Crenshaw Boulevard (portion
of parcel 4056-031-007), under 120th Street, to
the intersection of 120th Street and Hawthorne
Boulevard (“Test Tunnel”); and
WHEREAS, the Test Tunnel accommodates a
“skate” system that would be tested to prove the
viability for transporting pedestrians or personal
vehicles. The concept is that a vehicle would
be driven onto the skate, the engine would be
turned off and the vehicle and its passenger
would be transported from one end of the Test
Tunnel to the other; and
WHEREAS, the Test Tunnel project involves
engineers testing and experimenting with
personal vehicle types suitable for placement
on the skates; refinement of the design and
technology; and general data collection on
performance, durability, and application; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has acquired a
residentially zoned property located at 3834 W.
119th Place, APN # 4048-011-032, (“Property”)
with the desire to connect the Test Tunnel with
the Property via an underground shaft (spur)
that provides vehicular access to the surface
into an enclosed garage via an elevator for the
purpose of further examining the capabilities
of the Test Tunnel (“Test Elevator/Spur”); and
WHEREAS, The HMC does not address or
permit the proposed Project; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65853
and Section 17.06.010 of the HMC allow for
the amendment of the HMC with approval of
the City Council; and
WHEREAS, similar to the Test Tunnel project,
the Test Elevator/Spur would involve engineers
testing and experimenting with the elevator
system, underground skate system connections;
refinement of the design and technology;
and general data collection on performance,
durability, and application; and
WHEREAS, the Test Elevator/Spur would not
be used for public transportation purposes
and no public use of the Test Tunnel and
Test Elevator/Spur would occur. However, the
Test Tunnel and Test Elevator/Spur would be
used to develop a system of transportation
that is planned to someday provide for public
transportation in other areas of the region, state,
country and the world, and thus providing an
area for its testing and development would be
helpful in finding new technologies for efficient,
zero emissions forms of transportation that
are needed for local, regional, state, national
and international economic development; and
WHEREAS, the Test Elevator/Spur would
include the same design features as the Test
Tunnel including components that provide for: (i)
the use of off-road construction equipment that
meets or exceeds the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Tier 4 Final emission standards
or equivalent; (ii) the preparation and use of
a fire prevention plan; (iii) the operation of a
settlement monitoring plan which will provide
for automated, real-time settlement monitoring
and if thresholds of one-half inch are exceeded,
then construction will stop and subsidence
corrected; (iv) standard testing for soil, gas and
water and proper disposal of contaminated soil;
(v) compliance with excavation requirements
imposed by the California Office of Health and
Safety (CaIOSHA); (vi) appropriate haul routes
to haul away soil to a suitable facility; and (vii) a
pre-condition survey of the adjacent residences
and process to repair any damages caused
by construction; and
WHEREAS, prior to the issuance of any permits,
the Applicant will be required to coordinate with
all known utility companies and entities that
have some improvements in, along or across
the portions of the Test Elevator/Spur route
and Property to make sure the Test Elevator/
Spur is designed to avoid and not impact any
of their utilities and to address their concerns
and issues, and no permits will be issued by
the City until the City Engineer has determined
that the construction will not conflict with or
impair those utilities; and
WHEREAS, City staff and the City’s environmental
consultant have evaluated the Project and
determined that is qualifies for exemption from
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
review. Zone Text Amendment 2018ZA06 and
accompanying modification to the Test Tunnel
alignment and Exit Tunnel at 4012 120th Street
qualify for the Minor Alterations in Land Use
Limitations exemption (Section 15305 Class
5) and Infill Development exemption (Section
15332 Class 32) because the project
satisfies the criteria for use of that exemption
as more fully described in the environmental
documentation prepared in connection with
review of the project, which information is
included as attachments to the staff report that
accompanies this Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, on July 11 and 12, 2018, the
Applicant held neighborhood meetings to
introduce and discuss the proposed Project
with residents near the Property; and
WHEREAS, on August 22, 2018, the Planning
Commission held a duly noticed public
hearing on Zone Text Amendment 2018ZA06
and, following the close of the public hearing,
recommended approval of said Ordinance to
the City Council; and
WHEREAS, also on August 22, 2018, the
Planning Commission held a duly noticed
public hearing and, following the close of the
public hearing, approved Conditional Use Permit
application 2018CU05 for the construction and
operation of a Test Elevator/Spur at the Property
contingent upon approval of this Ordinance by
the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City provided published notice
of a public hearing on August 30, 2018, and the
City Council introduced and held a duly noticed
public hearing on the proposed Ordinance on
September 11, 2018; and
WHEREAS, evidence was heard and presented
from all persons in favor of the application, from
all persons opposed to the application, and
from members of the City staff; and that the
City Council having heard and received all of
said evidence, testimony and statements and
being fully informed of the application, hereby
rendered a decision; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of
Hawthorne hereby approves this Ordinance
establishing a process in which a Test Elevator/
Spur connecting the Test Tunnel under 120th
Street to the enclosed garage of a private
residence may be permitted in the R-3 Zone
with a conditional use permit.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL
THE CITY OF HAWTHORNE DOES ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council, after consideration
of the Staff’s and Applicant’s presentations,
discussions, oral testimony, and written evidence
presented to the City Council, hereby finds that
the above recitals are true and correct and
incorporate them herein.
SECTION 2. All necessary public meetings
and opportunities for public testimony and
comment have been conducted in compliance
with State law and the HMC and two additional
community meetings with the surrounding
neighbors were conducted by the Applicant
on July 11 and 12, 2018.
SECTION 3. Based Upon independent review
and consideration of the information contained
in the Staff Report and the Notice of Exemption
for the Project, the City Council has determined
that the proposed Project is exempt from the
requirements of preparing an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) or Negative Declaration
because the project meets the criteria for the
following Categorical Exemptions:
1. The Infill Development exemption (Section
15332 Class 32) is applicable because the Exit
Tunnel and slightly modified alignment of the
Test Tunnel are: 1) located within city limits; 2)
less than five acres in size; 3) devoid of natural
habitat for sensitive species; 4) surrounded by
urban development, 5) served by all required
public services and utilities. The Test Tunnel
alignment will be modified slightly to accommodate
construction of an Exit Tunnel at Prairie
Avenue. The Exit Tunnel and Test Tunnel as
modified are within the corporate limits of the
City of Hawthorne, surrounded by urban uses
on all sides, less than five acres in size, and
consistent with the General Plan. The Exit
Tunnel and minor modification to the alignment
of the Test Tunnel are subterranean within the
rights-of-way of 120th Street and contain no
natural habitat for sensitive species. All utilities
and public services are in place to serve the
project as proposed. The project would not
result in any significant impact to traffic, noise,
air quality, or water quality.
2. The Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations
exemption (Section 15305 Class 5) is
applicable because the Project would occur in
an area with an average slope of less than 20%
and would not result in any changes in land
use or density. The Zoning Text Amendment
would permit the Test Elevator/Spur as an
ancillary use in the R-3 Zone where it qualifies
for a conditional use permit meeting these
requirements: 1) property must abut portion
of 120th Street containing the Test Tunnel; 2)
Test Elevator/Spur shall breach surface only
within fully enclosed garage; 3) Test Elevator/
Spur shall not cross any adjacent properties
without evidence of prior written approval of
property owner. Any specific project seeking
approval of a conditional use permit must
demonstrate it will not change the residential
character of the property on which it is located
or any adjacent residential properties. The Test
Elevator/Spur at 3834 119th Place addressed
in Conditional Use Permit 2018CU05 meets all
these requirements and is treated as an ancillary
use within the R-3 zone where no change
to land use types or densities would occur.
SECTION 4. Zone Text Amendment 2018ZA06
is consistent with the City’s General Plan,
specifically the following policies of the Land
Use Element: Policy 2.1 “The design of future
development shall consider the constraints and
opportunities that are provided by adjacent existing
development,” Policy 3.1 “The promotion
of businesses that generate positive economic
benefits to the community, including generating
tax revenue, job creation and enhancing the
quality of life for residents and visitors shall be
encouraged and assisted,” and POLICY 3.6
“Land use regulations shall be regularly evaluated
and updated to facilitate the attraction of
high technology industries which will enhance the
local economy and support Hawthorne’s image
as a aerospace research and development
hub.” The Project updates the City’s land use
regulations to assist a subsidiary (The Boring
Company) of a major employer (SpaceX) in the
City that is exploring transportation alternatives
aimed at enhancing the quality of life in the
region and would support the City’s growing
high-tech industry. The Project is designed to
minimize impacts to the adjacent residential
neighborhood, including impacts related to noise,
odors, vibration, visitation, traffic, and parking.
The Project is designed so it will not be visible,
will enhance the existing residential structure,
and will maintain the residential character of
the neighborhood. The Project is designed to
be operated such that, once it is constructed,
there will be no obvious signs of the existence
of the Test Elevator/Spur and the Property will
appear and function as a private residence.
SECTION 5. The City Council hereby amends
Section 17.18.020 (Permitted and conditionally
permitted uses and bulk requirements) of
Chapter 17.18 (R-3 High Density Residential
Classification) of Title 17 (Zoning) of the

and amended or deleted as appropriate.”
SECTION 7. The City Council hereby makes
the following determinations and findings with
respect to the approval of this Ordinance:
A. The Ordinance shall serve as a means
for the expanded testing of an alternative
transportation option. It will serve both the
private interest of the Applicant in the testing
of a new transportation technology and the
public interest in the development of a new
transportation system that may speed future
public transportation opportunities that will enhance
the economy of the city and the region.
B. Based on requirements of the Ordinance
and the protections in place as proposed by
the Applicant and imposed by the Planning
Commission through Resolution 2018-08, which
approved Conditional Use Permit 2018CU05,
the Project will serve the public interest in allowing
for the development and testing of a
potentially important transportation technology
while protecting the City, the community, the
nearby property owners, and the public at
large. The Project is designed so the Test
Elevator/Spur will not be visible, will enhance
the existing residential structure, and will maintain
the residential character of the neighborhood.
The Project is designed and structured to be
operated such that, once it is constructed, there
will be no obvious signs of the existence of the
Test Elevator/Spur, there will be no public use
of the Test Elevator/Spur, and the Property will
appear and function as a private residence. The
existing residential structure at the Property will
be enhanced with block walls, landscaping, and
façade upgrades, and will be maintained as a
functioning residence and the existing garage
will be demolished and replaced with a 975
square foot garage that will completely enclose
and contain the Test Elevator/Spur such that it
will not be visible from the adjacent properties
or the public right-of-way. Vehicles will not be
permitted to enter the Test Elevator/Spur or exit
the Test Elevator/Spur via the Property and
from 119th Place and all residents and visitors
to the Property will park on-site.
C. Based on the location of the Test Elevator/
Spur route and the proposed above ground
improvements, the Test Elevator/Spur and the
associated underground boring and construction
methods will not impair street access to private
properties; will maintain lateral and subsurface
ground support of properties, improvements and
structures located adjacent to the Test Elevator/
Spur route. A surface monitoring program will
be operated to detect and stop additional boring
if surface subsidence is detected.
D. The Project is designed to minimize impacts
to the adjacent residential neighborhood, including
impacts related to noise, odors, vibration,
visitation, traffic, and parking. The Project is
designed so the Test Elevator/Spur will not
be visible, will enhance the existing residential
structure, and will maintain the residential
character of the neighborhood. The Project
is designed and structured to be operated
such that, once it is constructed, there will be
no obvious signs of the existence of the Test
Elevator/Spur, there will be no public use of
the Test Elevator/Spur, and the Property will
appear and function as a private residence.
The existing residential structure at the Property
will be enhanced with block walls, landscaping,
and façade upgrades, and will be maintained
as a functioning residence and the existing
garage will be demolished and replaced with
a 975 square foot garage that will completely
enclose and contain the Test Elevator/Spur
such that it will not be visible from the adjacent
properties or the public right-of-way. Vehicles
will not be permitted to enter the Test Elevator/
Spur or exit the Test Elevator/Spur via the
Property and from 119th Place and all residents
and visitors to the Property will park on-site.
The Test Elevator/Spur will include the same
design features as the Test Tunnel including
components that provide for: (i) the use of
off-road construction equipment that meets
or exceeds the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Tier 4 Final emission standards
or equivalent; (ii) the preparation and use of
a fire prevention plan; (iii) the operation of a
settlement monitoring plan which will provide
for automated, real-time settlement monitoring
and if thresholds of one-half inch are exceeded,
then construction will stop and subsidence
corrected; (iv) standard testing for soil, gas and
water and proper disposal of contaminated soil;
(v) compliance with excavation requirements
imposed by the California Office of Health and
Safety (CaIOSHA); (vi) appropriate haul routes
to haul away soil to a suitable facility; and (vii) a
pre-condition survey of the adjacent residences
and process to repair any damages caused
by construction.
SECTION 8. The City Clerk shall certify to the
passage and adoption of this Ordinance and
shall cause a summary of the same to be
published once in an adjudicated newspaper
in the City of Hawthorne and post a certified
copy of the proposed ordinance in the City
Clerk’s office at least five days before the City
Council meeting at which the ordinance is to be
adopted. Within 15 days after adoption of the
ordinance, a summary of the ordinance must
be published with the names of the council
members voting for and against the ordinance.
SECTION 9. If any provision, clause, sentence
or paragraph of this Ordinance or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance shall be
held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the
other provisions of this Ordinance which can
be given effect without the invalid provisions
or application, and to this end the provision of
this Ordinance are declared to be severable.

The WILL and any codicils are available for
examination in the file kept by the court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer
the estate under the Independent Administration
of Estates Act . (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take many actions
without obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however, the
personal representative will be required to give
notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed
action.) The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and shows
good cause why the court should not grant
the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: 10/23/18 at 8:30AM in
Dept. 11 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS
ANGELES, CA 90012
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition,
you should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections with the
court before the hearing. Your appearance may
be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent
creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim
with the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court within the
later of either (1) four months from the date of
first issuance of letters to a general personal
representative, as defined in section 58(b) of
the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You may
want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable
in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in the
estate, you may file with the court a Request
for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of
an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of
any petition or account as provided in Probate
Code section 1250. A Request for Special
Notice form is available from the court clerk.
