G. Direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption

BACKGROUND
Effective July 1, 2025, the State of California has mandated the adoption of the 2025 Editions of the California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Parts 1-12, which includes the California Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, Residential, Green Building, and Energy Codes (Building Codes). These codes have gone through the triennial adoption cycle for code change by the State Building Standards Commission and the International Code Council. Subsequently they have passed the scrutiny of both national and state code professionals and will provide the Town of Apple Valley with the current minimum standards to safeguard property and the public welfare.

After the State Code is published, every City, Town and County throughout the state has the opportunity to adopt the codes with amendments based on local geological, topographical and/or climatic conditions. (b) Pursuant to Section 17958.5 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California, The Town Council of the Town of Apple Valley hereby finds that the amendments of the building standards contained in the California Building Code, Volumes 1, 2, 2025 Edition are necessary to do:
(1) Local Climatic Conditions.
(A) The Town of Apple Valley is subject to extremely strong winds, commonly known as “Santa Ana Winds” which can reach speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour.

Extensive damage frequently accompanies these winds, such as blowing sand and debris, downed power lines, fallen trees, overturned vehicles and structural damage to buildings. These conditions result in increased demand for fire services, blocked or delayed emergency vehicle access and impaired water supplies and building emergency systems.
(B) During the summer months, the Santa Ana Winds may produce periods of extremely low humidity, thereby reducing the fuels moisture and increasing the possibility and severity of fire from dry vegetation and other common combustibles.

(C) During the summer months, much of the Town experiences prolonged periods of temperatures in excess of 100°F. When coupled with sustained severe Santa Ana Winds, an increase in the threat from rapidly moving wildfires exists.

D) During the winter months, heavy rains routinely cause damage to roadways rendering them completely impassible, or with limited access, sometimes for extended periods.
(E) During winter months, heavy snow and ice conditions exist in the hillside areas resulting in increased demand for fire services and limiting or delaying emergency vehicle access. In some cases, emergency vehicle access roads are completely impassible, or have limited access, sometimes for extended periods.
2) Local Geological Conditions.
(A) The Town of Apple Valley is subject to moderately strong to severe shaking and surface ruptures resulting from known earthquake faults located within or near the Town. These local earthquake faults have the potential to cause severe personal and property damage, utility interruptions, fire hazards and hazardous materials releases.

Additionally, significant roadway, bridge structure, water supply and communications systems are subject to failure, thereby causing a detriment to emergency services response.
(B) Unstable slopes in several areas throughout the Town have experienced soil movement as a result of heavy or soaking rains, resulting in damage to roadways, structures and utilities.
(C) Some desert areas of the Town have limited aquifers, exceptionally deep aquifers, which may limit water supplies available for firefighting purposes. (3) Local Topographical Conditions.
(A) The Town of Apple Valley encompasses areas with limited access routes which may result in delays in the reallocation of resources to emergency scenes. (B) The topography of the Town is exceptionally diverse, ranging from relatively flat desert and valley areas, to hillside, and canyon areas, which may hamper emergency response capabilities.
(C) The diverse topography of the Town results in many areas having limited water supplies available for firefighting purposes.

The proposed ordinance contains the same amendments to the Building Codes as the previous Ordinance No. 453 adopted in November 2016.

Staff does not foresee any significant controversy relative to the proposed adoption of the aforementioned codes since they are consistent with the current code amendments.

Based on the foregoing, staff recommends adoption of the form motion.

Town Council Agenda Report
Date: October 28, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
Subject: INTRODUCE ORDINANCE NO. 574 AMENDING CHAPTER 12.30., ENTITILED “SPECIAL SPEED LIMITS” OF TITLE 12 OF THE TOWN

OF APPLE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE
From: Douglas Robertson, Town Manager
Submitted by: Richard Pedersen, Town Engineer
Engineering Division
Budgeted Item: Yes No N/A

RECOMMENDED ACTION
That the Town Council:

A. Move to waive the reading of Ordinance No. 574 in its entirety and read by title only.

B. Move to Introduce No. 574, An Ordinance of the Town Council of the Town of Apple Valley, California, amending Chapter 12.20., entitled “Special Speed Limits” of Title 12 of the Town of Apple Valley Municipal Code.

BACKGROUND
In order to enforce speed zones with radar, the California Vehicle Code (CVC) requires that speed zones be established by Engineering and Traffic Surveys. The Vehicle Code allows the local authorities the ability, based on these Engineering and Traffic Surveys, to determine the prima facie speed limits to “facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic to that which is reasonable and safe.” The proposed amendment will establish the prima facia speed limit on one segment of Kasota Road, between State Highway 18 and Kokanee Road. The establishment of the speed limit on this segment of Kasota Road is supplementary to the approved midblock crosswalks for the St. Mary’s Medical Center.

The Engineering and Traffic Survey was prepared by Robert Kilpatrick, PE/TE, with David Evans and Associates. Staff has reviewed and is satisfied that the speed zone is established in accordance with CVC Section 627 and Section 22358.6(b).

ANALYSIS
The Engineering and Traffic Survey was completed on the identified street segment, and the proposed speed limit complies with the guidelines of the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) for the establishment of speed limits. Speed limits should be set preferably at or near the 85th percentile speed, which is defined as that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving.

Considering CA MUTCD guidelines for establishing speed limits based on the prevailing speed of traffic and the justifications outlined in the attached Engineering and Traffic Survey, it is appropriate to apply a 5 mph reduction to the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed.

Name of Street Segment Affected Declared Speed Limit
(in miles per hour)
Kasota Road Highway 18 to Kokanee Road 35

FISCAL IMPACT
To facilitate the installation of speed limit, the new signs and posts will come from the Town’s inventory. Other than the staff time required to make the change, there is no fiscal impact for these speed limit sign installations.

From: Robert Kilpatrick, PE/TE
Senior Project Manager / Senior Associate
RE: Speed Zone Survey
Kasota Road, Outer Highway 18 North to Kokanee Road
Apple Valley, California
David Evans and Associates, Inc. is pleased to submit this Speed Zone Survey Analysis for the roadway segment of Kasota Road from Outer Highway 18 North to Kokanee Road, in the Town of Apple Valley.

A. INTRODUCTION
This report will satisfy the Town of Apple Valley’s Traffic Advisory Committee requirement for establishing a speed limit on the roadway segment of Kasota Road from Outer Highway 18 North to Kokanee Road.

This memorandum presents the results of a speed survey conducted completed on March 7, 2023. The data from the survey is provided in Attachment 1. Speed limits are generally established at or near the 85th percentile speed. The 85th percentile speed, also referred to as the critical speed, is defined as the speed at or below which 85 percent of traffic is moving in free flow conditions. Speed limits established on this basis conform to the consensus of those who drive on the roadways as to what speed is reasonable and safe under normal driving conditions.

Many factors influence drivers and their perception of the safe speed at which to operate a vehicle. The design and physical characteristics of the roadway place limitations on the safe operating speed of vehicles. These characteristics include:
• Roadway geometrics, shoulder condition, grade, alignment, and sight distance • Roadside development, zoning, and environment
• Parking practices, bicycle and pedestrian activity
• Driveway density
• Signalized or stop-controlled intersections
• Rural, residential or developed areas

Mr. Eugene Gutierrez, April 30, 2024
2 B. CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE
The California State Legislature sets in place the regulations for California speed limits and the California Vehicle Code (CVC) places these regulations into language used primarily for enforcement purposes.

Various jurisdictions have responsibility for roadways throughout California, including the responsibility to set speed limits on these roadways according to the standards and procedures established by Caltrans.

The guidelines from the 2020 California Manual for Setting Speed Limits published by Caltrans (February 2020) are used in this study. These guidelines help in establishing speed limits that are uniform throughout the state.

Division 11, Chapter 7, of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) defines the California speed Laws (also known as Sections 22348-22413). Relevant sections of the CVC are used to determine speed limits in local jurisdiction.

C. ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY
In order for the court systems and the public to accept and respect the posting and enforcement, by radar, of posted speed limits, an Engineering and Traffic Survey must incorporate sound, repeatable methods conforming to the CVC and engineering principles.

Section 22357(a) stipulates that local authorities may set speed limits greater than 25 mph if an Engineering and Traffic Survey, such as this, determines that speeds greater than 25 mph would facilitate the orderly movement of vehicular traffic and would be reasonable and safe upon any street excluding those subject to a prima facie limit of 25 miles per hour. Based on the Engineering and Traffic Survey, the local authority may, by ordinance, determine and declare a speed limit of 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 60 miles per hour or a maximum speed limit of 65 miles per hour, whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic, and is reasonable and safe.

An Engineering and Traffic Study shall include the consideration of all the following as defined in Section 627 of the CVC:
• Prevailing speeds as determined by the traffic engineering measurements, • Accident records, and
• Highway, traffic, and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver.

In addition to the metrics identified above, local authorities may consider the following:
• Pedestrian and bicycle safety.

D. EXISTING CONDITIONS
Currently, the roadway segment of Kasota Road north of Outer Highway 18 North and south of Kokanee Road is a two lane, one in each direction, with curb and gutter improvements along both sides. The St Mary Medical Center (SMMC) campus is located to the east of Kasota Road. The St Mary Medical Center (SMMC) campus employee parking is located to the west of Kasota Road. Currently the employee parking has two driveway access points. Along the east side of Kasota Road, the curb is striped red from Outer Highway 18 North to Kokanee Road. Along the west side of Kasota Road, the curb is stripped red from Outer Highway North 18 to approximately 425 feet south of Kokanee Road. The curb along this 425 foot segment of Kasota Road to Kokanee Road is unmarked and allows for on-street parking.

3 An existing Victor Valley Transit Agency (VVTA) bus stop (20111) is located on the east side of Kasota Road approximately 375 feet north of Outer Highway 18 North. This Bus Stop provides service to Victor Valley Transit Routes 15, 41 and 42.

Exhibit A shows the vicinity map. Exhibit B shows the location of the Kasota Road study segment and speed radar survey location.

Currently there is not a posted speed limit on Kasoata Road in the study area. A speed zone survey was completed on March 7, 2023, with a recorded 85th percentile speed of 38 mph.

Newport Traffic Studies (NTS) conducted a speed radar study on March 7, 2023. The radar speed survey is provided in Attachment 1.

E. EXISTING COLLISION DATA
Existing collision data was obtained through the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) online database application tool. Collisions data was obtained for a fiveyear period from March 1, 2018 to February 28, 2023, for the Town of Apple Valley including collisions that occurred on private property and the roadway. The collision data was further sorted to provide a list of collisions that occurred on that segment of Kasota Road extending from Outer Highway 18 North to Kokanee Road. The SWITRS data reports provide physical damage only, injury, and fatal collisions.

The SWITRS data reported not a single collision during the five-year period from March 1, 2018 to February 28, 2023 within the study area.

The SWITRS data identified a single collision that occurred directly south of the study area. The identified collision was a physical damage only (PDO) collision, occurring at night. The collision was classified as a broadside with a primary collision factor of automobile right of way (ROW AUTO). This collision consisted of two vehicles.

F. SPEED LIMIT RECOMMENDATION
In the segment of Kasota Road, approximately 1,000 feet, between Kokanee Rd and Outer Highway 18 North there are 10 driveways fronting Kasota Road. In accordance with CVC Section 627 and Section 22358.6(b), the Town has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the 85th percentile speed.
• This section of Kasota Road has limited sidewalks consisting of landscaping on the east side and dirt path on the west side.
• An existing victor valley transit bus stop (20111) is located on the east side of Kasota Road approximately 375 feet north of Outer Highway 18 North. This Bus Stop provides service to Victor Valley Transit Routes 15, 41 and 42.
• On-street parking is allowed along a segment 425 foot segment of Kasota Road to Kokanee Road. • The St Mary Medical Center (SMMC) campus Employee Parking is located on the west side of Kasota Road with the St Mary Medical Center (SMMC) campus located on the east side of Kasota Road.

Based on the segment properties explained above and in accordance with CVC Section 627 and Section 22358.6(b), the Town has the authority to establish the speed limit at five miles per hour below the limit established by the observed 85th percentile speeds. Therefore, due to the pedestrian activity along this segment of Kasota Road and lack of pedestrian facilities, we recommend that the speed limit be posted at 35 mph.

Mr. Eugene Gutierrez, April 30, 2024
4 G. RECOMMENDED TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS
The following recommendations are proposed for the segment of Kasota Road, between Kokanee Rd and Outer Highway 18 North.
• Post speed limit signs, with speed feedback signs, on Kasota Road between Highway 18 North and Kokanee Road. The recommended speed limit is 35 mph.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN

OF APPLE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER

12.20, ENTITLED “SPECIAL SPEED LIMITS” OF TITLE 12

OF THE TOWN OF APPLE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE
The Town Council of the Town of Apple Valley does ordain as follows:

Section 1. Chapter 12.20 entitled “SPECIAL SPEED LIMITS” of Title 12 of the Town of Apple Valley Municipal Code is hereby amended to read as follows:

Chapter 12.20

SPECIAL SPEED LIMITS

12.20.010 Basis of Change or Determination………………………….. The prima facie speed limit declared for each street or portion thereof designated in section 12.20.020 is a speed limit which is either an increase from the prima facie speed limit or a decrease from the maximum speed limit otherwise applicable to such street or portion thereof pursuant to Chapter 7 of Division 11 of the Vehicle Code of the State (commencing at section 22348 thereof). The increase or decrease has been determined upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey. For each street or portion thereof upon which an increase in the prima facie speed limit (otherwise applicable) has been declared, a determination has been made that the increased declared prima facie speed limit is the most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe.

For each street or portion thereof upon which a decrease from the maximum speed limit (otherwise applicable) has been made and a lower speed limit declared as the prima facie speed limit, a determination has been made that the maximum speed limit (otherwise applicable) is more than is reasonable or safe, and that the declared prima facie speed limit is most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe.

12.20.020 Changes in State Law Speed Limits…………………………. The prima facie speed limit declared in this section for each street or portion of a street designated shall be effective from and after the posting of appropriate signs giving notice thereof. The names of the streets upon which special prima facie speed limits are hereby declared, the portion of such streets affected by the declaration, and the declared prima facie speed limits therefore is as follows:
