80 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessie Flores, City Manager
BY: Marc Tran, City Attorney
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF A 30-DAY RESOLUTION REGARDING THE
CONDUCT OF TELECONFERENCED MEETINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND OTHER CITY BODIES UNDER GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54953(e)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt and approve the attached resolution, reauthorizing the City conduct public meetings virtually for all public bodies subject to the Brown Act in accordance with the requirements of Government Code Section 54953(e).
BACKGROUND:
On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency throughout the state of California, in response to the rapid spread and threat of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), which still remains in effect. On March 10, 2020, the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Bernardino proclaimed the existence of a local emergency for all of San Bernardino County (“County”) in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact on the County. On March 13, 2020, the Adelanto City Council (“City Council”) declared a local emergency in response to the conditions of extreme peril to the safety of persons within the City as a result of the rapid spread of COVID-19.
On September 16, 2021, Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 361 (Rivas, 2021), which authorizes local agencies to continue to hold public meetings remotely under modified teleconferencing requirements set forth in the Brown Act (Government Code section 54953(e)) during a state-declared emergency, as that term is defined, and when either state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing, or in situations when the legislative body has determined that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. AB 361 went into effect immediately and sunsets on January 1, 2024.
Under AB 361, legislative bodies of the City can meet remotely during a declared State of Emergency by the Governor that includes the jurisdictional boundaries of the City, if the legislative body determines that one of the following is also true:
1. State or local officials have imposed or recommend social distancing; or
2. To determine, by a majority vote, whether to hold remote meetings as a result of the State of 81 Emergency, because meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees; or
3. The legislative body holds a meeting having already determined by a majority vote to hold remote meetings.
Modified Brown Act requirements under AB 361, include, among other provisions, that:
• Members of the public must be allowed to address the body and offer comments in real-time during the meeting.
• In the event of a technical disruption, the public agency cannot take any further action on the agenda until the issue is resolved.
• Public agencies may not require public comments be submitted in advance (this is still a permissible option but cannot be the only option).
• Members of the public must be given a reasonable time to register to provide public comment, if necessary, and agencies that provide a timed public comment period shall not close the remote public comment option until that timed period has expired.
The statewide declaration of emergency continues, in addition, the “SBCOVID-19” section of the San Bernardino County (“County”) website continues to state, “masks are strongly recommended for all persons, regardless of vaccine status, in indoor public settings and businesses (examples: retail, restaurants, theaters, family entertainment centers, meetings, state and local government offices serving the public).” With the recommendation that masks continue to be used along with the confirmation of new variants within the County, the City desires to continue to hold meetings under the modified teleconferenced rules.
Once the initial authorizing resolution is adopted, ongoing authorization every thirty (30) days is required by majority vote. If the legislative body desires to use the teleconference exception available under Government Code Section 54953(e), it must confirm the circumstances of the State of Emergency thirty (30) days after the first teleconference meeting and every thirty (30) days thereafter.
On June 22, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-48 authorizing modified remote teleconference meetings through July 22, 2022, to avoid a lapse the Council is requested to adopt the attached resolution.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City.

DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessie Flores, City Manager
BY: City Attorney
SUBJECT: RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION OF CHAPTER
9.110 TO THE ADELANTO MUNICIPAL CODE FOR A NOISE CONTROL
ORDINANCE
STAFF RECOMMENDS:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt proposed Ordinance No. 631, also referred to as “Noise Control”, designed to limit the adverse effects of unwanted and intrusive noises within the City of Adelanto (“City”). This Ordinance will create criteria and procedures for the measuring of sound levels in accordance with various zoning areas, as well as penalties for noise level violations pursuant to the Adelanto Municipal Code. It shall take effect thirty (30) days after passage.
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance is again up for second reading. At the Council’s June 22, 2022 meeting, the Council directed the removal of daytime residential noise restrictions. Additionally, the Council’s direction included beginning noise restrictions at 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday until 7 a.m. the following morning, and at 10 p.m. all other days until 7 a.m. the following morning. The ordinance as revised thus incorporates more leniency during the daytime and increases the focus on addressing nighttime noise disturbances.
ANALYSIS:
Increased Daytime Leniency
The proposed prescribed daytime ambient noise level for residential areas between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., proposed at 65 decibels (dBA), has been removed pursuant to the Council’s direction. Thus, the noise ordinance does not prescribe an ambient noise level in residential areas during these hours.
Increased Nighttime Focus
The Council also directed that residential noise restrictions begin at 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays until 7 a.m. the following morning, and at 10 p.m. all other days until 7 a.m. the following morning. The times of these restrictions also apply to the use of stereos, radios, loudspeakers and musical instruments.

d. Total duration of noise produced by noise source.
e. Date and time of noise measurement survey.
2. Procedure. Utilizing the A weighting scale of the sound level meter and the slow meter response, the noise level shall be measured at a position or positions along the complainant's property line closest to the noise source or at the location along the offending property’s boundary line where the noise level is at a maximum. In general, the microphone shall be located five feet (5') above the ground and ten feet (10') or more from the nearest reflective surface, where possible. However, in those cases where another elevation is deemed appropriate, the latter shall be utilized. If the noise complaint is related to interior noise levels, interior noise measurements shall be made at a point at least four feet (4') from the wall, ceiling, or floor 97 6

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE: July 13, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessie Flores, City Manager
BY: Marc Tran, City Attorney
SUBJECT: SECOND READING OF SIDEWALK VENDING ORDINANCE
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct a second reading and adopt the proposed Ordinance No. 632 adding Chapter 5.82 “Sidewalk Vendors” to Title 5 of the Adelanto Municipal Code to establish a sidewalk vending program in compliance with SB 946.
BACKGROUND:
On June 22, 2022, a revised Ordinance No. 632 was brought to Council for a second reading. Upon further discussion, Council provided direction for additional revisions to be made such as the placement of generators on the ground, authorization of canopies, and locations where vendors may set up.
The City Council conducted a first reading of Ordinance No. 632 at its Regular City Council Meeting of June 8, 2022. A motion was made to bring Ordinance No. 632 back for a second reading with additional revisions,such as extending the hours of operation, reducing the proximity to other vendors and allowing for vendors to obtain more than one license.
A proposed Ordinance is now being presented to allow the City to regulate sidewalk vendors. SB 946 allows local jurisdictions to adopt additional requirements regulating the time, place, and manner of sidewalk vending if those regulations are directly related to objective health, safety, or welfare concerns.
The proposed Ordinance includes the following regulations:
1. Annual sidewalk vending permits from the City are required.
2. Where applicable, a valid Health Permit issued by the County of San Bernardino is required in order to obtain a sidewalk vending permit.
106
3. Operational restrictions, including, but not limited to: (1) maintaining a clean selling area, (2) time restrictions, and (3) collecting and hauling away trash generated by the vending activity.
4. Location restrictions to prohibit operation near: (1) the City Police Department and Fire Station to limit interference with the deployment of emergency services, (2) near places where the City has authorized special events to take place, for the duration of the event, and (3) near intersections and fire lanes.
It should also be noted that SB 946 also specifies a schedule of fines and decriminalizes street vending by modifying the penalties that apply to current and past violations of sidewalk vending ordinances.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The anticipated fiscal impact is unclear at this time.

WHEREAS, only applies to sidewalk vending on public property and in the public right-ofway, and vending on private property is still subject to private and local control; WHEREAS, while the City of Adelanto (“City”) recognizes that sidewalk vending provides entrepreneurial and economic opportunities, it finds it is in the interest of the public peace, health, and safety of City residents to regulate sidewalk vending; WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt licensing and permitting requirements for sidewalk vending to ensure orderly commerce, increase vendor accountability, and to make it easier to identify vendors out of compliance with the City’s sidewalk vending regulations and other federal, state, or local laws;

108
WHEREAS, the City desires to place restrictions against operating within portions of the public right-of-way where accidents may occur, such as traffic intersections, streets, street medians, street dividers, and alleys;
WHEREAS, prohibiting sidewalk vending in traffic intersections, streets, street medians, street dividers, landscaped parkways, and alleys is necessary to protect the health and safety of vendors because they are at risk of being struck by vehicles and causing traffic collisions in these areas;
WHEREAS, the City desires to place restrictions against operating in close proximity to the Police Department and Fire Station to ensure that no blockages from vending activities hinder emergency response times and efforts; and

The site is currently zoned for and has a General Plan designation of Single Family Residential (R-S5).
The Planning Commission considered the Argies West, Inc. apartment proposal consisting of GPA 21-03, ZC 21-03 and LDP 21-33 at their regularly scheduled meeting on April 20, 2022, and after considerable public input, approved the project unanimously. A copy of the signed Planning Commission Resolution, No. 22-09 is attached as Exhibit A.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Don De Filippo, representing Argies West, Inc is proposing a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change to change the General Plan and Zoning Designation on a 4.67-acre site, located at the northwest corner of Holly Road and Delicious Ave. from Single Family Residential (R-S5) to Medium Density Residential (R3-8) in order to accommodate aa market rate apartment development consisting of 38, one-story apartment units with on-site amenities.

3 PROJECT ANALYSIS:
GENERAL PLAN & ZONING CONSISTENCY:
Currently, the project has a General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning Classification of Single Family Residential (R-S5). The proposal is to change to Medium Density Residential (R3-8) in order to accommodate an apartment project. The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change will amend the General Plan & Zoning Map changing the Single Family Residential (R-S5) Land Use Designation and Zoning District to Medium Density Residential (R3-8) to accommodate the proposed higher density residential apartment complex use. The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change will provide for a residential land use and zoning that provides a logical higher density transition between the existing lower density single family residential zoning and land uses to the north and the Elementary School to the south and surrounding land to the south and east of the school which are zoned R3-8. Also to the south is land zoned Commercial (C) which could provide neighborhood commercial. The proposed Medium Density Residential (R3-8) land use designation and zoning also helps to further both the State of California and local City goals by providing for additional, more affordable housing options in the City.
As such, the proposed project conforms with the City’s Adelanto North 2035 Sustainable Plan, Chapter 3, Economic Development as well as the State’s Housing Crisis Act legislation, which requires local government agencies to facilitate housing development. As conditioned, the project is also consistent with the surrounding zoning land uses. The project complies with the applicable R3-8 development and design standards, policies and guidelines outlined in the City’s Zoning Code. As such, the proposed project is consistent with the City’s Adelanto North 2035 Sustainable Plan.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS:
The proposed project is subject to the development standards of the R3-8 district, which allows for higher density residential uses that offer opportunities for people to live close to schools, near transit stops, walk to neighborhood stores and experience vibrant pedestrian districts. Table 1 below outlines the development standards for the R3-8 zoning district and demonstrates that the project meets or exceeds all standards.

HYDROLOGY & WATER QUALITY
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance maps obtained for the City of Adelanto, (FIRM) No. 06071C5795H (August 28, 2008), the Project site is located within Flood Zone “D,” which includes areas in which flood hazards are undetermined, but possible (FEMA, 2008). In the City of Adelanto, a limited number of studies have been completed to determine flood hazard information; as a result, much of the city is categorized as not having any flood hazard information.
The project is required to conform to Section 17.93.060 – Runoff Control of the Adelanto Municipal Code.
In addition, stormwater discharges from construction activities that disturb one or more acres, or smaller sites disturbing less than one acre that are part of a common plan of development or sale, are regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm-water permitting program.
Prior to start of construction, construction operators must obtain coverage under a NPDES permit, which is administered by the State.
DRAINAGE
The project Applicant will also be required to conform to Section 17.93.060 – Runoff Control of the City’s Municipal Code. In addition, stormwater discharges from construction activities that disturb one or more acres, or smaller sites disturbing less than one acre that are part of a common plan of development or sale, are regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permitting program. Prior to the start of construction, construction operators must obtain coverage under a NPDES permit, which is administered by the State. In order to obtain an NPDES permit, the project Applicant must prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The County has identified sample construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) that may be included in the mandatory SWPPP.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance maps obtained for the City of Adelanto, the proposed project site is located in Zone X.34 Thus, properties located in Zone X are not located within a 100-year flood plain. The proposed project site is not located in an area that is subject to inundation by seiche or tsunami. In addition, the project site is located inland more than 70 miles from the Pacific Ocean and the project site would not be exposed to the effects of a tsunami. As a result, the potential impacts will be less than significant. As a result, no impacts are anticipated.
AIR QUALITY
The Project site is located within the Mojave Desert Air Basin (MDAB), which is under the jurisdiction of the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District. The Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) has established quantitative thresholds for short-term (construction) emissions and longterm (operational) emissions for the criteria pollutants. The applicant will be required to obtain any required permits from the Mojave Desert AQMD prior to any construction activities on the project site.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
An Initial Study (IS) was prepared for the project in accordance with the City’s guidelines, which 126
GPA 21-03, ZC 21-03,
LDP 21-33
City Council Hearing 7/13/22
8 implement the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The IS was undertaken for the purpose of determining whether the project may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the IS, staff concluded that the project’s potential significant impacts could be avoided or mitigated to a point where there are clearly no significant effects on the environment through mitigation measures, and that there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record that the project, as revised may have a significant effect on the environment. As such, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared with a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program that will be implemented for the proposed project.
As required by State CEQA Guidelines, a Notice of Availability (NOA) for the proposed project was filed with San Bernardino County Clerk of the Board, published and sent to affected agencies and organizations for a thirty (30) day review. During the draft IS/MND review period, the Draft IS/MND was available for public review at the Development Services public counter, and on the City’s website.
Pursuant to §15703 (a) of CEQA, the IS/ MND was circulated for a 30-day period between February 15, 2022, through March 15, 2022 to Responsible Agencies, and interested parties for review and comment and no new effects were identified during the 30-day public comment period.
As of the writing of this report, the City did not receive any comments during the 30-day public review period. All potential effects of the proposed project have been reduced to less than significant levels with implementation of mitigation measures. Therefore, a final Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared.
PUBLIC NOTICE
A public hearing notice was sent to adjacent property owners and affected agencies. As of the writing of this report, no other additional comments have been received by staff.

134
GPA 21-03, ZC 21-03, LDP 21-33
April 20, 2022
3 • A General Plan Amendment (GPA 21-03) and Zone Change (ZC 21-03) to amend the General Plan Land Use Map designation and Zoning District from Single Family Residential (R-S5) to Medium Density Residential (R3-8) in order to accommodate the development of proposed uses (in the City of Adelanto, the General Plan Map and Zoning Map are combined into one document; therefore, General Plan amendments and Zone Changes must occur simultaneously); • A Location and Development Plan (LDP 21-19) to approve the site layout and required improvements to facilitate the construction of the proposal
CONSTRUCTION
The proposed project will not be phased and is anticipated to be completed in just over a year. The project construction schedule is summarized in the IS/MND along with the impacts associated with construction.
PROJECT ANALYSIS:
GENERAL PLAN & ZONING CONSISTENCY:
Currently, the project has a General Plan Land Use Designation and Zoning Classification of Single Family Residential (R-S5). The proposal is to change to Medium Density Residential (R3-8) in order to accommodate an apartment project. The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change will amend the General Plan & Zoning Map changing the Single Family Residential (R-S5) Land Use Designation and Zoning District to Medium Density Residential (R3-8) to accommodate the proposed higher density residential apartment complex use. The proposed General Plan Amendment and Zone Change will provide for a residential land use and zoning that provides a logical higher density transition between the existing lower density single family residential zoning and land uses to the north and the Elementary School to the south and surrounding land to the south and east of the school which are zoned R3-8. Also to the south is land zoned Commercial (C) which could provide neighborhood commercial. The proposed Medium Density Residential (R3-8) land use designation and zoning also helps to further both the State of California and local City goals by providing for additional, more affordable housing options in the City.
As such, the proposed project conforms with the City’s Adelanto North 2035 Sustainable Plan, Chapter 3, Economic Development as well as the State’s Housing Crisis Act legislation, which requires local government agencies to facilitate housing development. As conditioned, the project is also consistent with the surrounding zoning land uses. The project complies with the applicable R3-8 development and design standards, policies and guidelines outlined in the City’s Zoning Code. As such, the proposed project is consistent with the City’s Adelanto North 2035 Sustainable Plan.
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The proposed project is subject to the development standards of the R3-8 district, which allows for higher density residential uses that offer opportunities for people to live close to schools, near transit stops, walk to neighborhood stores and experience vibrant pedestrian districts. Table 1 below outlines the development standards for the R3-8 zoning district and demonstrates that the project meets or exceeds all standards.

Sewer service to the Project also would be provided by APUA. The Project will connect to the existing sanitary sewer connection to an existing sewer line on Holly Road.
LANDSCAPING AND OPEN SPACE
A common open space area that would include a pool, playground, and picnic area would be centrally located in the development. Other open space lot would be used as a stormwater retention basin. Each unit will be provided a private open space ranging from 165 square feet to 180 square feet. The project landscaping meets the intent of the landscaping design principles established in the North Adelanto 2035 Plan as it improves the visual quality and physical environment of Adelanto North and utilizes sustainable strategies that reflect the desert environment, reduce water and energy consumption. The proposed landscaping also physically enhances the existing and proposed neighborhoods by screening and softening buildings, parking lots, and existing and adjacent neighborhood properties.

7 According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance maps obtained for the City of Adelanto, (FIRM) No. 06071C5795H (August 28, 2008), the Project site is located within Flood Zone “D,” which includes areas in which flood hazards are undetermined, but possible (FEMA, 2008). In the City of Adelanto, a limited number of studies have been completed to determine flood hazard information; as a result, much of the city is categorized as not having any flood hazard information.
The project is required to conform to Section 17.93.060 – Runoff Control of the Adelanto Municipal Code.
In addition, stormwater discharges from construction activities that disturb one or more acres, or smaller sites disturbing less than one acre that are part of a common plan of development or sale, are regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm-water permitting program.
Prior to start of construction, construction operators must obtain coverage under a NPDES permit, which is administered by the State.
DRAINAGE
The project Applicant will also be required to conform to Section 17.93.060 – Runoff Control of the City’s Municipal Code. In addition, stormwater discharges from construction activities that disturb one or more acres, or smaller sites disturbing less than one acre that are part of a common plan of development or sale, are regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) stormwater permitting program. Prior to the start of construction, construction operators must obtain coverage under a NPDES permit, which is administered by the State. In order to obtain an NPDES permit, the project Applicant must prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The County has identified sample construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) that may be included in the mandatory SWPPP.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance maps obtained for the City of Adelanto, the proposed project site is located in Zone X.34 Thus, properties located in Zone X are not located within a 100-year flood plain. The proposed project site is not located in an area that is subject to inundation by seiche or tsunami. In addition, the project site is located inland more than 70 miles from the Pacific Ocean and the project site would not be exposed to the effects of a tsunami. As a result, the potential impacts will be less than significant. As a result, no impacts are anticipated.
AIR QUALITY
The Project site is located within the Mojave Desert Air Basin (MDAB), which is under the jurisdiction of the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District. The Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) has established quantitative thresholds for short-term (construction) emissions and longterm (operational) emissions for the criteria pollutants. The applicant will be required to obtain any required permits from the Mojave Desert AQMD prior to any construction activities on the project site.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
An Initial Study (IS) was prepared for the project in accordance with the City’s guidelines, which implement the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The IS was undertaken for the purpose of determining whether the project may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the IS, staff concluded that the project’s potential significant impacts could be avoided or mitigated to a point where there are clearly no significant effects on the environment through mitigation measures, 139
GPA 21-03, ZC 21-03, LDP 21-33
April 20, 2022
8 and that there is no substantial evidence in light of the whole record that the project, as revised may have a significant effect on the environment. As such, a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared with a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program that will be implemented for the proposed project.
As required by State CEQA Guidelines, a Notice of Availability (NOA) for the proposed project was filed with San Bernardino County Clerk of the Board, published and sent to affected agencies and organizations for a thirty (30) day review. During the draft IS/MND review period, the Draft IS/MND was available for public review at the Development Services public counter, and on the City’s website.
Pursuant to §15703 (a) of CEQA, the IS/ MND was circulated for a 30-day period between February 15, 2022, through March 15, 2022 to Responsible Agencies, and interested parties for review and comment and no new effects were identified during the 30-day public comment period.
As of the writing of this report, the City did not receive any comments during the 30-day public review period. All potential effects of the proposed project have been reduced to less than significant levels with implementation of mitigation measures. Therefore, a final Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared.
PUBLIC NOTICE
A public hearing notice was sent to adjacent property owners and affected agencies. As of the writing of this report, no other additional comments have been received by staff.
