BACKGROUND
The subject Parcel is located at 14614-14622 Dalewood Street, located between Merced Avenue and Puente Avenue. The property will have access through Dalewood Street. The property is 87,992 square feet in area.

On December 9, 2020, Planning Commission approved Tentative Parcel Map No. 83340 (Resolution PC 20-24) TPM-83340 and ZV-711 to consolidate three (3) lots into one (1) lot and a Zoning Variance to facilitate the development of a six -story 59,766-square foot general office, retail and medical office building including subterranean parking and surface parking.

Access to each of the stories would be provided by three elevator shafts located centrally in the building. The elevators would provide access from the basement parking level up to the sixth floor. Three stairwells would also provide access from the basement to the second floor. Two of the three stairwells would continue access up to the 6th floor.

Project construction would take place for approximately 17 months, and is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2021 and end in 2024. In general, construction activities would occur between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., every day except on federal holidays. Per Section 130.04 of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code, construction activities are allowed during the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.; therefore, the proposed project would be within the hours allowed for construction.

Architecture
The proposed development will be visible from the surrounding area, including surrounding streets and buildings. The 6-story structure would be 96 feet in height and would be within the maximum height allowed, as the City of Baldwin Park Zoning Code does not specify building height limits but specifies the maximum allowed height as six stories within the Freeway Commercial zone. The proposed building reflects a contemporary architectural style and provides for articulation in building surfaces. The exterior of the building would be finished in stucco earth tone colors, such as brown and beige, and would include non-reflective glass on all four sides of the building. The building will also include Stone veneer (Coronado Sunriver Blend “Chiseled Limestone”) throughout ground floor front, rear, and side elevations of the building. Custom wall light fixtures provide accent lighting at night.

Landscaping
The applicant is proposing a total of 7,331 square feet of landscaping on the site. The landscaping is located around the perimeter of the site, and within the parking areas. The Municipal Code requires that a minimum of ten percent (6,689 square feet) of the parking lot area to be landscaped. Landscaping proposed fronting Dalewood Street will serve to soften the aesthetic appearance of the building from the street. In addition, a landscape buffer along the boundary of the project site would be provided. A final landscape and irrigation plan are required per the conditions of approval.

Tentative Parcel Map No. 83340 (Previously referred as TPM-1432) The project site is subject to development standards set forth in Table 153.050.030 of the Baldwin Park Zoning Code for the Freeway Commercial (F-C) zone. The minimum lot area is 4-acres (174,240 square feet), the minimum lot width is 300 feet and the minimum lot depth is 200 feet. All of the parcels do not individually meet the minimum lot area, width or depth. When merged the newly created parcel will become an approximately 88,235-square foot lot with a 177 foot width and 125 foot depth. Therefore, TPM -83340, ZV-711
14614-14622 Dalewood Street

Page 4 ends

while the newly created parcel will fall short of the required lot depth, width and lot size, consolidating the parcels will create less of a nonconformity then if left as individual parcels.

Zone Variance for Deviation from Development Standard (ZV 711) The applicant is requesting a deviation from the minimum lot size, depth, and width development standard for lots in the Freeway Commercial (F-C) zone. The standard requires lots to have a minimum lot size of 4-acres (174,240 square feet), depth of 200 feet and minimum width of 300 feet. The proposed site has a lot size is approximately 2-acres (88,235 square feet), depth of 125 feet and width of 177 feet.

Approval of the Zone Variance would allow the applicant to consolidate the four parcels into one parcel to facilitate the construction of the proposed building and accompanying landscaping and parking.

A resolution of approval has been prepared to grant the Tentative Parcel Map and Zone Variance to permit the development.

Final Design Review Approval
According to Baldwin Park Municipal Code Section 153.210.070, the highest designated Approving Authority for all requested permits shall take final action on all permits. Therefore, while the Design Review Committee tentatively approved the design review application for the proposed project on August 3, 2016 the approval of the tentative parcel map and zoning variance by the Planning Commission will also constitute the final approval of the design review application.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The project site is designated as “General Commercial” in the City of Baldwin Park General Plan. Further it is located in the Dalewood/Puente/I-10 Area. The proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies.

Land Use Goal 14.0 Redevelop area with large commercial user.

Land Use Policy 14.1 Capitalize on I-10 eastern gateway to City through consolidation of individual lots between Dalewood, Big Dalton, Puente, and the Walnut Creek Wash and provision of redevelopment incentives to attract a major retail user.

Land Use Policy 14.4 Work to improve freeway access both through efforts with Caltrans and local street improvements. Potential Caltrans improvement projects should be monitored and input provided where improved access could be developed. Improve direction signage off freeway.

Land Use Policy 14.5 Carefully review lad use access and on-site circulation…to best utilize existing street system, which may have limitations due to the proximity of the freeway and roadway alignments.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing and following the public hearing adopt Resolution PC 20-24 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING

COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE

DECLATION AND A MITATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM (LOCATION: 14614-14622 DALEWOOD STREET.; APPLICANT: THE STETSON GROUP, INC.; CASE NUMBER: TPM- 83340 AND ZV-711); and
Adopt the Findings of Fact and Resolution PC 20-25 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING

COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK APPROVING A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP TO CONSOLIDATE THREE (3) LOTS INTO ONE (1) LOT, AND A ZONING VARIANCE

TO DEVIATE FROM THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE, LOT DEPTH, AND LOT WIDTH TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIX STORY 59,766-SQUARE FOOT GENERAL

OFFICE, RETAIL, AND MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING INCLUDING SUBTERRANEAN PARKING AND SURFACE PARKING. (LOCATION: 14614-14622 DALEWOOD STREET; APPLICANT: THE STETSON GROUP, INC.; CASE NUMBER: TPM- 83340 AND ZV-711).

Subject to the conditions listed in the resolution.

FINDINGS OF FACT— TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP
1) Adequate systems designed, and constructed to provide all necessary utilities to each lot proposed to be created, including, but not limited to, facilities for water, natural gas, electricity, cable television and telecommunications telephone service.

Comments and conditions have been addressed in the findings and are included, as applicable, as conditions of approval of the tentative parcel map. Additionally, staff includes a general condition of approval that any and all conditions from outside agencies and utility companies shall be met or provided for prior to finalizing the tentative parcel map. 2) An adequate domestic water distribution system designed and constructed to service each lot proposed to be created.

Valley View Mutual Water Company is the purveyor in the area and water would be provided to the subject property by Valley View Mutual Water Company.
3) An adequate sewage system designed and constructed to serve each lot proposed to be created.

The proposed project shall comply with any conditions of approval as imposed by the Sanitation District of Los Angeles County prior to approval of the final map by the City of Baldwin Park.
4) An adequate storm water drainage system designed and constructed to serve each lot proposed to be created.

The Public Works Department conditions of approval require that off-site improvements may be required and may include storm drains. Provided that the applicant meets the TPM -83340, ZV-711
14614-14622 Dalewood Street

Page 6 ends

conditions of approval for development, there will be adequate storm water drainage for the subject property.
5) An adequate public and/or private street and/or alley system designed and constructed to serve each lot proposed to be created.

The Public Works Department has determined that there is adequate public street system to serve the lot. Conditions of approval require public right-of-way reconstruction of damaged improvements as a result of construction.
6) An adequate traffic regulatory system, including necessary traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings and stripings.

The City’s Public Works Department has concluded that the current conditions will provide for an adequate traffic regulatory system.
7) The undergrounding of utilities pursuant to Chapter 97, part 2 (Underground Utility District) of the Municipal Code.

Pursuant to Chapter 97 of the City’s Municipal Code all new utilities to the subject property shall be undergrounded. This requirement is also addressed as part of the overall plan check requirements and review of the final map.
8) Any and all other improvements found necessary by the City to provide all services to each lot proposed to be created.

Staff is of the opinion that provided that the applicant obtains approval by the Planning Commission of the Parcel Map and meets and/or exceeds the conditions of approval, the new lot would have adequate service and could be consolidated such that the new lot would be consistent with the City’s codes.
9) In addition to the improvements as required by the City’s Municipal Code and Departments, there are also design requirements for the proposed tentative parcel map that need to be met. Pursuant to Section 152.12 of the City’s Municipal Code, the design of the subdivision shall conform to the requirements of this Chapter 152, any and all design requirements set forth in the General Plan, the design and development standards established for the associated zoning district per the Zoning Code, the applicable design guidelines set forth in the Design Guidelines Manual, generally accepted engineering standards, and to such standards required by the City, including, but not limited to, plans for grading and erosion control.

The Planning Division has reviewed the proposed subdivision of the proposed lot meets the minimum development standards contained within the Municipal (Zoning) Code.

Additionally the parcel map is consistent with Goal 2.0 of the Land Use Element of the General Plan which states “accommodate new development that is compatible with and compliments existing conforming land uses” as the proposed consolidations of lots meet TPM -83340, ZV-711
14614-14622 Dalewood Street

Page 7 ends

the existing development standards contained in the Code with exception to lot size, lot depth and width.

The Public Works Department, as part of their comments, has included a requirement for the applicant to submit plans relating to grading and erosion control for review and approval.

FINDINGS OF FACT— ZONE VARIANCE
1) There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of such property which do not generally apply to other properties in the same zone.

The newly created parcel is bounded by developed properties which prevent it from meeting the minimum lot size, depth, and width. Moreover, due to the irregular shape of the lot also prevents it from meeting the standards. The minimum lot area is 4-acres (174,240 square feet), the minimum lot width is 300 feet and the minimum lot depth is 200 feet. All of the parcels do not individually meet the minimum lot area, width or depth. When merged the newly created parcel will become an approximately 88,235-square foot lot with a 177 foot width and 125 foot depth. Therefore, while the newly created parcel will fall short of the required lot depth, width and lot size, consolidating the parcels will create less of a nonconformity then if left as individual parcels. 2) Such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property similarly situated, but which is denied by the property in question.

The subject properties are vacant parcels. The property has a zoning designation of F-C, Freeway Commercial. In order to provide the property right to develop the property, given its configuration, the zone variance for lot size, width and depth is necessary. Therefore, not granting the zone variance for the subject property would prevent the developer/owner from having the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone.
3) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the adjacent properties.

The granting of the zone variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to adjacent property. The proposed development will facilitate development of a permitted use that is compatible to adjacent properties. In addition, the site improvements will improve the aesthetics of the general area, traffic flow and pedestrian safety as there will be only one access point to the site for pedestrians and motorists.
4) The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Baldwin Park.

Page 8 ends

revitalization and of deteriorating land uses and properties and promotes facilitating the consolidation of individual parcels along the city’s commercial corridors as indicated in Policy 3.2.

Therefore the variance allowing the consolidation of three (3) lots into one (1) will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Baldwin Park.

Resolution PC 20-24
December 9, 2020

Page 3 ends

SECTION 4. In accordance with the BPMC Section 153.010.060 the Planning Commission hereby further finds that the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration for TPM- 83340 and ZV-711 is accurate, objective, complete and in compliance with the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEAQ Guidelines) and Procedures of the State of California and the City of Baldwin Park, and represents the independent judgment of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission has reviewed all documentation comprising the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration and consistent with the Planning Division’s recommendation, can (i) find the Final Mitigation Negative Declaration is adequate and complete and (ii) certify said Final Mitigated Negative Declaration as being in compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15074.

SECTION 5.The Planning Commission hereby approves and adopts the Initial Study/MND pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080, subdivision (c)(2).

SECTION 6.Pursuant to Public Resources code section 21081.6, the Planning Commission approves and adopts the MMRP prepared for the Project.

SECTION 7.The Mitigation Measure(s), including the Reporting/Monitoring Program, adopted for TPM-83340 and ZV-711 shall be fully complied with as specified in this Resolution and the Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program. The measures shall be included as conditions of required permit action, and compliance would result in potential impacts reduced to a level of less than significant and there would be no residual impacts from the proposed project. Proposed mitigation for those impacts is as follows:

CUL-1: Construction Worker Cultural Resources Sensitivity Training. Prior to start of ground-disturbing activities, an archaeologist meeting the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for archaeology (a qualified archaeologist) shall conduct cultural resources sensitivity training for all construction personnel.

Construction personnel shall be informed of the types of archaeological resources that may be encountered, and of the proper procedures to be enacted in the event of an inadvertent discovery of archaeological resources or human remains. The City shall ensure that construction personnel are made available for and attend the training and retain documentation demonstrating attendance.

CUL-2: Inadvertent Discovery of Archaeological Resources. In the event of the unanticipated discovery of archaeological materials during project construction, the project contractor shall immediately cease all work activities in the area (within approximately 50 feet) of the discovery until it can be evaluated by a qualified archaeologist. Construction will not resume until the qualified archaeologist has conferred with the City on the significance of the resource. If it is determined that the discovered archaeological resource constitutes a historical resource or unique archaeological resource under CEQA, avoidance and preservation in place is the preferred manner of mitigation. Preservation in place maintains the important Resolution PC 20-24
December 9, 2020

Page 4 ends

relationship between artifacts and their archaeological context and also serves to avoid conflict with traditional and religious values of groups who may ascribe meaning to the resource. However, if data recovery through excavation is the only feasible mitigation available, a Cultural Resources Treatment Plan shall be prepared and implemented by the qualified archaeologist in consultation with the City. The Cultural Resources Treatment Plan shall provide for the adequate recovery of the scientifically consequential information contained in the archaeological resource. The City shall consult with appropriate Native American representatives in determining treatment for prehistoric or Native American resources to ensure cultural values ascribed to the resource, beyond that which is scientifically important, are considered.

GEO-1: Retain Qualified Paleontologist. A qualified paleontologist meeting the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP) standards (SVP 2010) (Qualified Paleontologist) shall be retained prior to the approval of demolition or grading permits.

The Qualified Paleontologist shall provide technical and compliance oversight of all work as it relates to paleontological resources, shall attend the project kick-off meeting and project progress meetings on a regular basis, and shall report to the site in the event potential paleontological resources are encountered.

GEO-2: Construction Worker Paleontological Resources Sensitivity Training. The Qualified Paleontologist shall conduct construction worker paleontological resources sensitivity training prior to the start of ground disturbing activities (including vegetation removal, pavement removal, etc.). In the event construction crews are phased, additional trainings shall be conducted for new construction personnel. The training session shall focus on the recognition of the types of paleontological resources that could be encountered within the project site and the procedures to be followed if they are found. Documentation shall be retained demonstrating that all construction personnel attended the training.

GEO-3: Paleontological Monitoring. Full-time paleontological resources monitoring shall be conducted for all ground disturbing activities occurring in previously undisturbed sediments of older alluvium, at depths of 10 feet or greater. The surficial gravel, as well as any artificial fill or previously disturbed sediments that may be present, have low paleontological sensitivity and so work in the upper 10 feet of the project site does not need to be monitored. The depth of 10 feet is derived from the records search of the LACM, which reports fossils recovered in older alluvium from depths of 11 feet in the vicinity of the project site. The Qualified Paleontologist shall spot check the excavation on an intermittent basis and recommend whether the depth or frequency of required monitoring should be revised based on his/her observations. Paleontological resources monitoring shall be performed by a qualified paleontological monitor (meeting the standards of the SVP) under the direction of the Qualified Paleontologist. Monitors shall have the authority to temporarily halt or divert work away from exposed fossils in order to recover the fossil specimens. Any significant fossils collected during project-related excavations shall be prepared to the point of identification and curated into an accredited repository with retrievable storage. Monitors shall prepare daily logs detailing the types of activities and soils observed, and any discoveries. The Qualified Resolution PC 20-24
December 9, 2020

Page 5 ends

Paleontologist shall prepare a final monitoring and mitigation report to document the results of the monitoring effort.

GEO-4: Inadvertent Discovery of Paleontological Resources. If construction or other project personnel discover any potential fossils during construction, regardless of the depth of work or location, work at the discovery location shall cease in a 50-foot radius of the discovery until the Qualified Paleontologist has assessed the discovery and made recommendations as to the appropriate treatment. If the find is deemed significant, it should be salvaged following the standards of the SVP (SVP, 2010) and curated with a certified repository.

NOISE-1: Noise barriers with a minimum height of 12 feet shall be erected along the southern (along Ardilla Avenue) and western (along Garden Avenue) boundaries of the construction site which abut nursing and residential uses. The noise barriers shall be constructed of material with a minimum density of two pounds per square foot (which is approximately 10 kilograms per square meter) with no gaps or perforations (access points shall ensure no gaps when gates are closed). Noise barriers may be constructed of but not be limited to, 5/8-inch plywood, 5/8-inch oriented strand board, or noise absorbing blankets or panels. According to the Housing and Urban Development's Barrier Performance Module, a 12-foot barrier would result in a noise reduction of approximately 16 dBA, resulting in construction noise levels that do not exceed 80 dBA Leq. Documentation that the noise barriers achieve the minimum density and height requirements shall be maintained on the Project Site for the duration the temporary barriers are installed.

NOISE-2: The operation of construction equipment that generates high levels of vibration, such as large bulldozers and loaded trucks, shall be prohibited within 45 feet of existing residential and nursing facility structures located immediately south and west of the project, respectively. Instead, small construction equipment such as small bulldozers, small excavator, etc., not exceeding 310 horsepower shall be used within this area during demolition, grading, and excavation operations.

TRA-1: If the proposed project is constructed prior to opening of the Silver Streak transit stops at Puente Avenue, the applicant shall develop a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program for review and approval by the City Planner prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The TDM program shall be administered by the project’s building management to provide tenants with voluntary strategies and measures to discourage single-occupant vehicle trips and encourage alternative modes of transportation such as carpooling, transit, bicycling, and walking. The TDM program shall include provisions for all of the following:
A half-time transportation coordinator
Ride-matching assistance
Preferential carpool parking
Flexible work schedules for carpools
Vanpool assistance

11 feet in the vicinity of the project site. The Qualified Paleontologist shall spot check the excavation on an
intermittent basis and recommend whether the
depth or frequency of required monitoring should be
revised based on his/her observations.

Paleontological resources monitoring shall be
performed by a qualified paleontological monitor
(meeting the standards of the SVP) under the
direction of the Qualified Paleontologist. Monitors
shall have the authority to temporarily halt or divert
work away from exposed fossils in order to recover
the fossil specimens. Any significant fossils collected during project-related excavations shall be prepared
to the point of identification and curated into an
accredited repository with retrievable storage.

Monitors shall prepare daily logs detailing the types
of activities and soils observed, and any discoveries.

The Qualified Paleontologist shall prepare a final
monitoring and mitigation report to document the
results of the monitoring effort.

GEO-4: Inadvertent Discovery of Paleontological
Resources. If construction or other project
personnel discover any potential fossils during
construction, regardless of the depth of work or
location, work at the discovery location shall cease
in a 50-foot radius of the discovery until the Qualified Paleontologist has assessed the discovery and
made recommendations as to the appropriate
treatment. If the find is deemed significant, it should be salvaged following the standards of the SVP
(SVP, 2010) and curated with a certified repository.

NOISE
NOISE-1: Noise barriers with a minimum height of
12 feet shall be erected along the southern (along
Ardilla Avenue) and western (along Garden Avenue)
boundaries of the construction site which abut
nursing and residential uses. The noise barriers
shall be constructed of material with a minimum
density of two pounds per square foot (which is
approximately 10 kilograms per square meter) with
no gaps or perforations (access points shall ensure
no gaps when gates are closed). Noise barriers may
be constructed of but not be limited to, 5/8-inch
plywood, 5/8-inch oriented strand board, or noise
absorbing blankets or panels. According to the
Housing and Urban Development's Barrier
Performance Module, a 12-foot barrier would result
in a noise reduction of approximately 16 dBA,
resulting in construction noise levels that do not
exceed 80 dBA Leq. Documentation that the noise
barriers achieve the minimum density and height
requirements shall be maintained on the Project Site
for the duration the temporary barriers are installed.

NOISE-2: The operation of construction equipment
that generates high levels of vibration, such as large
bulldozers and loaded trucks, shall be prohibited
within 45 feet of existing residential and nursing
facility structures located immediately south and

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF

THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK APPROVING A
TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP TO CONSOLIDATE THREE (3)
LOTS INTO ONE (1) LOT, AND A ZONING VARIANCE TO

DEVIATE FROM THE MINIMUM LOT SIZE, LOT DEPTH,

AND LOT WIDTH TO FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A SIX STORY 59,766-SQUARE FOOT GENERAL

OFFICE, RETAIL, AND MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING

INCLUDING SUBTERRANEAN PARKING AND SURFACE
PARKING. (LOCATION: 14614-14622 DALEWOOD
STREET; APPLICANT: THE STETSON GROUP, INC.;
CASE NUMBER: TPM- 83340 AND ZV-711)

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

WHEREAS, an application has been filed by Stetson Group to consolidate three parcels, identified as APN 8463-001-012, 8463-001-013, and 8463-001-007 into one parcel pursuant to the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Code (BPMC) Section 150.08 and to deviate from the minimum 200 foot lot depth, minimum 300 foot lot width, and minimum lot size of 4-acres (174,240 square feet development standard set forth in Table 153.050.030 for lots in the Freeway Commercial (FC) zone for the purposes of constructing a six story 59,766 square foot general office, retail, and medical office building with 221 parking spaces, including one level of subterranean parking with 21 vehicle parking stalls and a surface parking lot with 200 vehicle parking stalls; and WHEREAS, based on the information in the application an Initial Study was prepared for the project pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15063.

WHEREAS, all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the city of Baldwin Park does hereby resolve, find, determine and declare as follows:

SECTION 1.The Planning Commission finds that all of the facts set forth in the above recitals of this resolution are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. A duly noticed public hearing was held on December 9, 2020 on said Application by the Planning Commission, and based upon evidence presented including applicable staff reports and each member of the Commission being familiar with the property, it was determined that the facts as required by the Baldwin Park Municipal Code for the granting of the Application are set forth in the staff report dated December 9, 2020 from Ron Garcia, City Planner to the Chair and Planning Commissioners (“Staff Report”) which is true and correct and the Application should be approved.

SECTION 3.That the Planning Commission does hereby adopt the following findings applicable to the approval of the tentative parcel map. a) Adequate systems designed, and constructed to provide all necessary utilities to each lot proposed to be created, including, but not limited to, facilities for water, natural gas, electricity, cable television and telecommunications telephone services.

Comments and conditions have been addressed in the findings and are included, as applicable, as conditions of approval of the tentative parcel map. Additionally, staff includes a general condition of approval that any and all conditions from outside agencies and utility companies shall be met or provided for prior to finalizing the tentative parcel map. b) An adequate commercial water distribution system designed and constructed to service the proposed to be created.

Valley View Mutual Water Company is the purveyor in the area and water would be provided to the subject property by Valley View Mutual Water Company.
c) An adequate sewage system designed and constructed to serve each lot proposed to be created.

The proposed project shall comply with any conditions of approval Resolution PC 20-25
December 9, 2020

Page 3 ends

as imposed by the Sanitation District of Los Angeles County prior to approval of the final map by the City of Baldwin Park.
d) An adequate storm water drainage system designed and constructed to serve the lot proposed to be created.

The Public Works Department conditions of approval require that off-site improvements may be required and may include storm drains. Provided that the applicant meets the conditions of approval for development, there will be adequate storm water drainage for the subject property.
e) An adequate public and/or private street and/or alley system designed and constructed to serve each lot proposed to be created.

The Public Works Department has determined that there is adequate public street system to serve the lot. Conditions of approval require public right-of-way reconstruction of damaged improvements as a result of construction.
f) An adequate traffic regulatory system, including necessary traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings and stripings.

The City’s Public Works Department has concluded that the current conditions will provide for an adequate traffic regulatory system. g) The undergrounding of utilities pursuant to Chapter 97, part 2 (Underground Utility District) of the Municipal Code.

Pursuant to Chapter 97 of the City’s Municipal Code all new utilities to the subject property shall be undergrounded. This requirement is also addressed as part of the overall plan check requirements and review of the final map
h) Any and all other improvements found necessary by the City to provide all services to each lot proposed to be created.

Page 4 ends

Section 152.12 of the City’s Municipal Code, the design of the subdivision shall conform to the requirements of this Chapter 152, any and all design requirements set forth in the General Plan, the design and development standards established for the associated zoning district per the Zoning Code, the applicable design guidelines set forth in the Design Guidelines Manual, generally accepted engineering standards, and to such standards required by the City, including, but not limited to, plans for grading and erosion control.

The Planning Division has reviewed the proposed subdivision of the proposed lot meets the minimum development standards contained within the Municipal (Zoning) Code.

The Public Works Department, as part of their comments, has included a requirement for the applicant to submit plans relating to grading and erosion control for review and approval.

SECTION 4. The Planning Commission does hereby adopt the following Findings of Fact applicable to all zone variance:
(a) There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property involved, or to the intended use of such property which do not generally apply to other properties in the same zone.

The newly created parcel is bounded by developed properties which prevent it from meeting the minimum lot size, depth, and width. Moreover, due to the irregular shape of the lot also prevents it from meeting the standards. The minimum lot area is 4-acres (174,240 square feet), the minimum lot width is 300 feet and the minimum lot depth is 200 feet. All of the parcels do not individually meet the minimum lot area, width or depth. When merged the newly created parcel will become an approximately 88,235-square foot lot with a 177 foot width and 125 foot depth. Therefore, while the newly created parcel will fall short of the required lot depth, width and lot size, consolidating the parcels will create less of a nonconformity then if left as individual parcels.
(b) Such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property similarly situated, but which is denied by the property in question.

Resolution PC 20-25
December 9, 2020

Page 5 ends

The subject properties are vacant parcels. The property has a zoning designation of F-C, Freeway Commercial. In order to provide the property right to develop the property, given its configuration, the zone variance for lot size, width and depth is necessary. Therefore, not granting the zone variance for the subject property would prevent the developer/owner from having the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone
(c) The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the adjacent properties.

The granting of the zone variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to adjacent property. The proposed development will facilitate development of a permitted use that is compatible to adjacent properties. In addition, the site improvements will improve the aesthetics of the general area, traffic flow and pedestrian safety as there will be only one access point to the site for pedestrians and motorists.
(d) The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Baldwin Park.

The variance will not adversely or negatively affect the General Plan or its goals because the property will be utilized for commercial purposes in accordance to the site’s General Plan designation of General Commercial. Goal 3.0 of the General Plan Land Use Element supports the revitalization and of deteriorating land uses and properties and promotes facilitating the consolidation of individual parcels along the city’s commercial corridors as indicated in Policy 3.2. Therefore the variance allowing the consolidation of three (3) lots into one (1) will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Baldwin Park.

SECTION 5. The Application, as herein above described below, and the same is hereby approved subject to the following conditions:
(a) That the property shall be developed and maintained in substantial accordance with Exhibit “A” to the staff report for TPM-83340 and ZV- 711 dated December 9, 2020; and
(b) The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) shall be adhered it as specified; and

RESPONSE TO COMMENTS

PARK PALAZZO PROJECT

The Notice of Intent to Adopt an Initial Study and a Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Park Palazzo Project was published and posted at the office of the County Clerk pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15072. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15073, the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was sent to the State Clearinghouse for distribution to state agencies. In addition, the notice was distributed to property owners in the vicinity of the Project Site. The 20 -day comment period for the Draft Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) began on November 2, 2020 and ended on November 23, 2020.

Revisions to the Draft EIR
The revisions that follow were made to the text of the Draft IS /MND. Amended text is identified by page number. Additions to the Draft IS/MND text are shown with underline and text removed from the Draft IS/MND is shown with strikethrough. The revisions, as outlined below, fall within the scope of the original project analysis included in the Draft IS /MND and do not result in an increase to any identified impacts or produce any new impacts. No new significant environmental impact would result from the changes or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented. Therefore, no significant revisions have been made which would require recirculation of the Draft IS/MND pursuant to Section 15073.5 of the State CEQA Guidelines.

Section 3.2.13, Noise, Pages 83 and 84:

Mitigation Measure:

While impacts would be less than significant, the City of Baldwin Park Noise Element of the General Plan Policy 1.2 provides for noise control measures such as berms, walls, and sound attenuating construction in areas of new construction for reducing construction noise. Consistent with this policy and in light of the construction noise levels disclosed above, the following measure will be included and enforced as Project-required mitigation.

Noise barriers may be construc ted of but not be limited to, 5/8 -inch plywood, 5/8 -inch oriented strand board, or noise absorbing blankets or panels. According to the Housing and Urban Development's Barrier Performance Module, a 12-foot barrier would result in a noise reduction of approximately 16 dBA, resulting in construction noise levels that do not exceed 80 dBA Leq.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration November 2020 Documentation that the noise barriers achieve the minimum density and height requirements shall be maintained on the Project Site for the duration the temporary barriers are installed.

Section 3.2.13, Noise, Pages 86 and 87:

Human Annoyance
The vibration impact threshold for human annoyance at a residential structure would be 0.04 inches per second PPV. The residential and nursing facility structures that would be affected by construction activity would be located approximately 15 feet south and west of the project, respectively. The PPV value of a large bulldozer at 15 feet would be 0.19 inches per second PPV.

Therefore, the impact of human annoyance could be potentially significant. However, per Mitigation Measure NOISE-12, the operation of construction equipment that generates high levels of vibration shall be prohibited within 45 feet of the existing residential and nursing facility structures located immediately south and west of the project, respectively. Instead, small construction equipment not exceeding 310 horsepower shall be used within this area during demolition, grading, and excavation operations. The use of smaller construction equipment would result in vibration levels of 0.007 in/sec PPV at the residential buildings and nursing facility structures to the immediate south and west of the project, respectively, which would not exceed Caltrans’ vibration criteria of 0.04 in/sec PPV for continuous/frequent intermittent vibration sources. Therefore, with implementation of Mitigation Measure NOISE-12, potentially significant construction vibration impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level.

Mitigation Measure:

NOISE-12: The operation of construction equipment that generates high levels of vibration, such as large bulldozers and loaded trucks, shall be prohibited within 45 feet of existing residential and nursing facility structures located immediately south and west of the project, respectively. Instead, small construction equipment such as small bulldozers, small excavator, etc., not exceeding 310 horsepower shall be used within this area during demolition, grading, and excavation operations.

SOURCE: LACSD, 2019

The proposed project would include approximately 50,566 sf of general office space, 8,000 sf of medical-office space, and 1,200 sf of retail space. As described in Table 20, Wastewater Generation During Project Operation , the proposed project would generate approximately 11,833 12,903 gallons per day of wastewater. This generation would comprise 0.01 percent of the total treatment capacity of the SJCWRP. Since the proposed project would contribute only 0.01 percent of the SJCWRP’s daily treatment capacity, it is anticipated that the proposed project’s wastewater demand would be met and no new entitlements, or resources would be required to meet the expected project’s wastewater treatment needs. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant.

1-A: The comment acknowledges receipt of the Notice of Intent to adopt a Mitigate d Negative Declaration for the project, and provides an introduction to Comments 1-B and 1-C regarding the proximity of the project to sensitive receptors in the City of West Covina. This comment does not otherwise raise a substantive issue on the content of the Draft IS/MND. The comment has been noted for the record.
1-B: The comment states that while the estimated noise impacts of the proposed construction do not exceed the noise thresholds utilizing the OSHA standard limit of noise exposure, the proposed construction would exceed the F ederal Transit Administration (FTA) criteria for determining whether construction of a project would result in substantial temporary increase in noise levels.

Furthermore, the comment notes that it has been the City of West Covina’s practice to ensure that construction noise impacts adjacent to sensitive receptors not exceed 80 dBA. To address this concern, the comment recommends implementing a new mitigation measure that would require the use of a noise barrier during construction activities to ensure that noise levels remain below the provided thresholds. In compliance with this request, Section 3.2.13, Noise, would be revised as follows:

Mitigation Measure:

While impacts would be less than significant, the City of Baldwin Park Noise Element of the General Plan Policy 1.2 provides for noise control measures such as berms, walls, and sound attenuating construction in areas of new construction for reducing construction noise. Consistent with this policy and in light of the construction noise levels dis closed above, the following measure will be included and enforced as Project-required mitigation.

NOISE-1: Noise barriers with a minimum height of 12 feet shall be erected along the southern (along Ardilla Avenue) and western (along Garden Avenue) boundari es of the construction site which abut nursing and residential uses. The noise barriers shall be constructed of material with a minimum density of two pounds per square foot (which is approximately 10 kilograms per square meter) with no gaps or perforations (access points shall ensure no gaps when gates are closed). Noise barriers may be constructed of but not be limited to, 5/8-inch plywood, 5/8-inch oriented strand board, or noise absorbing blankets or panels. According to the Housing and Urban Developmen t's Barrier Performance Module, a 12 -foot barrier would result in a noise reduction of approximately 16 dBA, resulting in construction noise levels that do not exceed 80 dBA Leq. Documentation that the noise barriers achieve the minimum density and height requirements shall be maintained on the Project Site for the duration the temporary barriers are installed.

This comment does not otherwise raise a substantive issue on the content of the Draft IS /MND.

The comment has been noted for the record.
1-C: The comment states that no construction parking would be allowed within any City of West Covina residential streets, and recommends that the applicant be required to submit a construction plan showing staging and truck routes to be reviewed and approved by the City of Baldwin Park City Engineer and City Planner prior to any grading permit or building permit issuance. The comment further specifies that the construction plan include a Construction Truck Route Plan showing that Response to Comments
Park Palazzo Project 8 ESA
Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration November 2020 truck traffic would be limited to ma jor streets, and that it include a Construction Staging/Parking Management Plan showing a separate off-site location where all construction workers would park to carpool or be dropped off at the job site. As discussed in the Draft IS/MND under Section 3.2.17, Transportation, a Construction Traffic Management Plan would be prepared as part of the conditions of approval for the project. The Construction Traffic Management Plan will be developed by the construction contractor and will require approval by the C ity prior to onsite construction activities. Measures to alleviate construction period impacts may include, but would not be limited to:
 Provide off-site truck staging in a legal area furnished by the construction truck contractor.

Anticipated truck access to the project site will be off Dalewood Street.  Schedule deliveries and pick-ups of construction materials during non-peak travel periods to the extent possible and coordinate to reduce the potential of trucks waiting to load or unload for protracted periods.
 If parking lane and/or sidewalk closures are anticipated, worksite traffic control plan(s), approved by the City, should be implemented to route vehicular traffic, bicyclists, and pedestrians around any such closures.
 Establish requirements for loading/unloading and storage of materials on the project site, where parking spaces would be encumbered, length of time traffic travel lanes can be encumbered, sidewalk closings or pedestrian diversions to ensure the safety of the pedestrian and access to local businesses and residences. Use flagmen to temporarily control pedestrian and vehicular traffic adjacent to the site may be required.  Ensure that access will remain unobstructed for land uses in proximity to the project site during project construction.
 Coordinate with the City and emergency service providers to ensure adequate access is maintained to the project site and neighboring businesses and residences.  Provide all construction contractors with written information on where their workers and their subcontractors are permitted to park, and provide clear consequences to violators for failure to follow these regulations. This information will clearly state that no parking is permitted on residential streets.

Thus, the Construction Traffic Management Plan will be required to include a Construction Truck Route Plan that includes specifications to ensure that truck traffic will be limited to Dalewood Street, a major street, and would require onsite parking during construction.

NOI
Response for Park Palaz
z
o Project

The Los Angeles County
Sanitation Districts
(Districts) received a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration
(NOI)
for the subject project on
November 2, 2020
.

The proposed
project

is located within
the j
urisdictional boundar
y

of District No.

15. We offer the following comments regarding sewerage service:

1. The wastewater flow originating from the proposed project will discharge to a local sewer line, which is not maintained by the Districts, for conveyance

to the Districts’ Joint Outfall H Unit 8J Trunk Sewer, located in Valona Drive at Walnut Creek Parkway. The Districts’ 15 -
inch diameter trunk sewer has a capacity of 2.1
million gallons per day (mgd) and conveyed a peak flow of 1.2 mgd when last measured

in 20
15 .

2. The wastewater generated by the proposed project will be treated at the San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) located adjacent to the City of Industry, which has a capacity of 100

mgd and currently
processes an average flow of

58.5 mgd, or the Whittier Narrows WRP located near the City of South El Monte, which has a capacity of 15

mgd and currently processes an average flow of

9.1 mgd.

3. The expected average wastewater flow from the project site, described in the notice

as
50,566 squa
re feet
of general office space, 8,000 square feet of medical office space and 1,200 square feet of retail , is
12,903

gallons per day. For a copy of the Districts’ average wastewater generation factors, go to www.lacsd

4. The Districts are empowered by the Califo
rnia Health and Safety Code to charge a fee to connect facilities (directly or indirectly) to the Districts’ Sewerage System or to increase the strength or quantity of wastewater discharged from connected facili
ties.

This connection fee is a capital facilities fee that is used by the Districts to upgrade or expand the Sewerage System.

Payment of a connection fee will be required before this project is permitted to discharge to the Districts’ Sewerage System.

F
or more information and a copy of the
Connection Fee Information Sheet, go to
www.lacsd.org
, under Services, then Wastewater (Sewage) and
select Rates & Fees.

In determining the impact to the Sewerage System and applic able connection fees, the
Districts will determine the user category (e.g. Condominium, Single Family home, etc.) that best represents the actual or anticipated use of the parcel(s) or facilities on the parcel(s) in the development.

In order for the Districts to conform to the requirements of the Federal Clean

Air Act (CAA), the capacities
of the Districts’ wastewater treatment facilities are based on the regional growth forecast adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Specific policies included in the development of the SCAG regi
onal growth forecast are incorporated into clean air plans, which are prepared by the South Coast and Antelope Valley Air Quality Management Districts in order to improve air quality in the South Coast and Mojave Desert Air Basins as mandated by the CCA.

All expansions of Districts’ facilities must
be sized and service phased in a manner that will be consistent with the SCAG regional growth forecast for the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Imperial. The available ca
pacity of the Districts’ treatment facilities will, therefore, be limited to levels associated with the approved growth identified by SCAG. As such, this letter does not constitute a guarantee of wastewater service, but is to advise
the developer

that the

Districts intend to provide this service up to the levels that are legally permitted and to inform
the developer

of the currently existing capacity and any proposed expansion of the Districts’ facilities.

2-A: The comment confirms receipt of the Notice of Intent to adopt an MND for the proposed project and states that the project is located within the jurisdictional boundary of District No. 15 of the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD). This comment does not otherwise raise a substantive issue on the content of the Draft IS/MND. The comment has been noted for the record. 2-B: The comment provides a description of the wastewater flow through LACSD’s in frastructure and summarizes the multiple discharge pathways, sewer capacities, and peak flow rates for each connection, ultimately leading to the San Jose Creek Water Reclamation Plant or the Whittier Narrows Water Reclamation Plant. This comment does not otherwise raise a substantive issue on the content of the Draft IS/MND. The comment has been noted for the record. 2-C: The comment notes that the expected average wastewater flow from the project site, would be approximately 12,903 gallons per day based on LACSD’s average wastewater generation factors for each land use class. The anticipated 12,9 03 gallons per day of wastewater flow from the proposed project is in excess of the 11,833.2 gallons per day of wastewater described in the Draft IS/MND. In response to this comment Draft IS /MND, Table 20, Wastewater Generation During Project Operation, and the associated discussion has been revised as follows:

Dear
Ron Garcia
:

Thank you for including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in the environmental review process for the above referenced
projec
t.

The proposed structure would be
6 -
stories in height and would include
approximately 50,566 sf of general office space, 8,000 sf of medical
-
office space, and 1,200 sf of retail space, on an approximately 88,235 sf lot.

In addition,
the proposed project would provide a total of 221 parking spaces, including one level of subter
ranean parking with 21 parking stalls and a surface parking lot with 200 parking stalls. The building footprint would be 11,055 sf and represent lot coverage of 12.5 percent. The proposed project is expected to create approximately 284 employment opportuni ties, which is equivalent to
one employee per 210 sf.

The nearest State facility to the proposed project is
I
-

After reviewing the
MND
, Caltrans
has
the following comments:

Caltrans acknowledges and supports
development that effectively
utilizes near
by transit service,
l
ike
the proposed Project aims to facilitate

at the Puente Avenue Silver Streak station
.

However,
due to the amount of car parking, the
Park Palazzo Project

still designed in a way that induces
demand for additional
vehi
cle trips. This demand should be addressed with appropriate design and management principles.

Caltrans supports reducing the amount of parking whenever possible.

Research looking at the relationship
between land
-
use, parking, and transportation
indicates t
hat car parking prioritizes driving above all other travel modes and undermines a community’s ability to choose public transit and active modes of transportation. For any community or city to better support all modes of transportation and reduce vehicle mi les traveled,
we recommend the implementation of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures as an alternative to requiring car parking.

Caltrans recommends the following:

•

Reducing

the amount of parking
.

The project currently exceeds the amount of parking
required by the city.

•

If surface parking must be built, it is recommended that it not face the street directly. By shifting the parking to the rear or interior of the project site, a more inviting street scape
can be created.

A more active frontage, against the sidewalk, can encourage

transportation walking

and the use of transit
.

•

I
f the underground parking must be built, it should be designed in a way that is conducive to adaptive reuse. They
should contain flat floors with ramps on the exterior edge, so that they can be more easily converted to more beneficial uses in the future.

•

Adequate

bicycle parking space
s

be provided, allowing
employees and customers

to more
easily take advantage of the project’s central location and choose the bicycle as their mode of travel.

B
icycle parking should be located onsite, on the ground floor, and within 200 feet of the pedestrian entrance to the main building.

While
Cal
trans does not expect project approval to result in a direct adverse impact to the existing State transportation facilities
, the Park Palazzo Project involves
direct
intersection changes

at the
eastbound Route 10 Dalewood Street off
-
ramp
.

Therefore,
a
n enc
roachment permit will be
required,

and

all environmental concerns must be adequately addressed.

Please note that any
modifications to the State facility

will be subject to additional review by the Office of Permits prior to issuance of the permit.

Additionally, a
ny transportation of heavy construction equipment and/or materials which requires use of oversized
-
transport vehicles o
n

State highways will need a Caltrans transportation permit.

We recommend large size truck trips be limited to off
-
peak co
mmute periods.

Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration November 2020 Response to Comment Letter 3: California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 7 (December 1, 2020)
3-A: The comment states appreciation for the opportunity to review the Draft IS /MND, and provides a brief summary of the proposed project, as included in the Draft IS /MND. This comment does not raise a substantive issue on the content of the Draft IS/MND. The comment has been noted for the record.
3-B: The comment expresses support for development that effectively utilizes nearby transit service, like the proposed project aims to facilitate at the Silver Streak transit stop at Puente Aven ue.

However, the comment continues by noting that due to the amount of car parking, the project is still designed in a way that induces demand for additional trips. Furthermore, the comment suggests reducing the amount of parking and recommends inclusion o f several Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures as an alternative to requiring car parking. These suggested measures include reducing the amount of provided parking, ensuring that surface parking not face the street directly, designing underground parking in a way that is conducive to adaptive reuse, and providing bicycle parking spaces on the ground floor.

While the project would not implement the specific TDM recommendations provided in this comment, the project does include implementation of a TDM program under Mitigation Measure TRA-1 of the Draft IS /MND. The TDM program, which would be implemented in the event that the project is constructed prior to the proposed Silver Streak transit stop at Puente Avenue, would include provision of a half -time transportation coordinator, ride-matching assistance, preferential carpool parking, flexible work schedules for carpools, vanpool assistance, and bicycle end -trip facilities including parking, showers, and lockers. Furthermore, regardless of whether th e project is constructed prior to or after construction of the Silver Streak transit stop at Puente Avenue, bicycle parking would be provided, as required by the City of Baldwin Park Zoning Code (Section 153.150.150). Collectively, the TDM program would serve to reduce demand for additional trips, in alignment with the comment’s recommendation. This comment does not otherwise raise a substantive issue on the content of the Draft IS/MND. The comment has been noted for the record. 3-C: This comment states that while Caltrans does not expect project approval to result in direct adverse impact to the existing State transportation facilities, the project does involve direct intersection changes at the eastbound I-10 Dalewood Street off -ramp. Therefore, the comment notes that an encroachment permit would be required, and all environmental concerns must be adequately met.

Furthermore, the comment states that any transportation of heavy construction equipment and/or materials, which require use of oversized-transport vehicles on State highways will need a Caltrans transportation permit. In compliance with this request, the project would apply for an encroachment permit as well as a transportation permit for oversized -transport vehicles as needed , per Caltrans requirements. This comment does not otherwise raise a substantive issue on the content of the Draft IS/MND. The comment has been noted for the record.

STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. ________5________

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Enrique C. Zaldivar, Chief Executive Officer
Rose Tam, Director of Finance
Ron Garcia, Director of Community Development

DATE: August 17, 2022
SUBJECT: Baldwin Park Resident Owned Utility District (BPROUD) Program-2021 Power Content Label

SUMMARY
Baldwin Park, formally acting in the capacity of the Baldwin Park Resident Owned Utility District (BPROUD) is required to submit this staff report a nd related meeting minutes to the California Energy Commission (CEC) per Power Source Disclosure Program regulations to demonstrate compliance.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council provide the attestation specified under California’s Power Source Disclosure (PSD) Program, which requires the governing council of a public agency providing retail electric service (for the year 2021) to endorse the accuracy of each annual report and pow er content label, as submitted to the California Energy Commission, for the previous year. In the case of former entity, BPROUD, such attestations were based on California Choice Energy Authority’s (CalChoice) technical review and addresses the 2021 Annual Report and Power Content Label (PCL) prepared for the BPROUD community choice aggregation (CCA) program.

FISCAL IMPACT
None

BACKGROUND
California Public Utilities Code requires all retail sellers of electric energy, including BPROUD, to disclose “accurate, reliable, and simple- to-understand information on sources of energy” that are delivered to their respective customers via an annual Power Content Label (PCL). The PCL is analogous to a nutrition label, conveying information regarding the various power sources/products that are procured on behalf of each retail electricity customer. California’s retail electricity sellers, including BPROUD, will each have unique PCLs based on internally adopted procurement policies and related power purchases that were completed during the reporting year. The PCL format is highly prescriptive, offering little flexibility to retail sellers when presenting such information to customers – the CEC administers these requirements under California’s Power Source Disclosure Program.

DISCUSSION
Information presented in each PCL includes the proportionate share of total energy supply related to specific fuel sources/resources categories, including both renewable and conventional generating technologies. If a retail seller procures a certain percentage of its energy requirements from the market at large (meaning, sources of power that cannot be traced back for a specific generator), the PCL must identify such purchases as “unspecified sources of power”. It is very common for most retail electricity sellers to utilize “unspecified source of power”.

2 In accordance with statewide mandates and internally adopted planning targets, BPROUD procured a substantial portion of its electric energy supply from generating resources utilizing various renewable fuel sources in 2021. Renewable fuel sources may include biomass & waste, hydroelectricity, solar, geothermal and wind. For BPROUD Smart Choice Customers, 27.2% of total energy supply was sourced from renewable energy resources. For BPROUD Green Choice customers, 31.4% of energy deliveries were sourced from renewable energy resources. Recent changes to power source disclosure regulations have also altered the manner in which certain renewable energy purchases must be reported/reflected on the PCL. More specifically, “unbundled” renewable energy certificates (meaning, renewable energy attributes that are sold/purchased separately from associated electric power) must now be displayed outside the area in which “bundled” renewable ener gy purchases (meaning, renewable energy attributes that are sold/purchased with associated electric power) are reported. This adaptation to the PCL format may result in some customer confusion, as determining the total quantity of renewable energy purchas ed on behalf of each customer now requires the summation of two values: “Eligible Renewable”, plus “Percentage of Retail Sales Covered by Retired Unbundled RECs”. The City of Baldwin Park staff is prepared to answer related questions, should they arise.

Consistent with applicable regulations, all customers formerly enrolled in the BPROUD program will soon receive the PCL via U.S. mail.

To fulfill its Power Source Disclosure Program reporting obligation for 2021, BPROUD, as a public agency must provide the CEC with the Town Council’s attestation regarding the accuracy of information included in the annual Power Source Disclosure Report (submitted to the CEC on May 31) and PCL, consistent with the following element of PSD Program regulations.

A retail supplier that is a public agency providing electric services is not required to comply with the provisions of subdivision (a)(1) if the board of directors of the public agency submits to the Energy Commission an attestation of the veracity of each annual report and power content label for the previous year.

In the following excerpt from applicable regulations, subdivision (a)(1) refers to a third-party audit, which is not necessary for public agencies, including the City.

While developing BPROUD’s PCL, California Choice Energy Authority (CalChoice) and its technical consultants performed a detailed review of all power purchases completed for the 2021 calendar year.

The review performed by CalChoice and its technical consultants found no inaccuracies or inconsistencies in such information, which was subsequently entered into BPROUD’s Annual Power Source Disclosure Report(s) and PCL. To fulfill its attestation requirements for 2021, Council is being asked to provide an attestation covering both the PCL and associated Annual Report(s), as specified in the excerpt above – both elements of the PSD Program reflect information that was consistently and accurately presented for the BPROUD CCA Program.

Based on reviews previously complet ed by staff and CalChoice’s technical consultants, staff is requesting that Council provide the requisite attestation at this time.

3 NEXT STEPS
Upon approval, a copy of this staff report and related meeting minutes will be forwarded to the CEC, thereby completing BPROUD’s attestation requirements under California’s Power Source Disclosure Program for the 2021 calendar year.

STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. ________6________

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Enrique C. Zaldivar, Chief Executive Officer
Rose Tam, Director of Finance
Ron Garcia, Director of Community Development

DATE: August 17, 2022
SUBJECT: Baldwin Park Resident Owned Utility District (BPROUD) Program – Decertification, Reversion, and Decommissioning Process – Status Update Report

SUMMARY
At the City Council meeting of March 16, 2022, Staff presented a summary report delineating s everal activities related to the certification and reversion process. Included in the report were a number of recommended actions whereby Council authorized staff to effectuate or carry out. This report is intended to provide the City Council with a status update as of the end of July 2022, with the understanding that the full and complete decommissioning will not conclude until all applicable regulatory filings have been submitted. Some filings will remain outstanding until the end of 2023, but for intents and purposes, BPROUD is fully decertified, and the reversion to Southern California Edison SCE fully completed as noted on the March 16, 2022 Report. Decommissioning of all BPROUD related activities is roughly 98% complete, with the remaining activities noted herein expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council receive and file this report and authorize the Director of Finance to pay back to the General Fund (100) and Future Development Fund (200) for the startup costs, transfers and loans made to the BPROUD fund / accounts including the lockbox.

FISCAL IMPACT
Included in this status report is a financial accounting section, updated with the financial transactions occurring since the previous report. W e had reported on the March 16 report revenue receipts of $3,176,537, and expense (actual and projected) outlays of $3,254,807 (including early expenses by the general fund during the development end inception of the program). Since the last report, additional revenue receipts of $341,139 have been received, while a total of $24,134 have been issued in expense outlays. The balance in the BPROUD lockbox as of July 30, is $3,212,802. We no longer anticipate any further expenses of any significance. The financial lockbox for BPROUD will be kept in function thru the month of September 2022, at which time we will transfer the remaining balance to the City’s General Checking Account with the Bank of the West. Then the money will be used to pay back to the General Fund (100) and Future Development Fund (200) for the startup costs, transfers and loans made to the BPROUD fund / accounts including the lockbox . The bank account with RiverCity Bank will remain open to accept customer past payments and other payments for CAISO settlements.

Ongoing receivables from customers outstanding payments have continued to trickle in, though on a declining rate, now averaging about $1,940 per day, down from a high of $36,698 per day in the month of March 2022. If customer payment activities continue, the City will collect an additional $87,440 by end of 2022. As of July 2022 unpaid customer accounts is $702,639, of which $91,000 are inactive.

City staff will pursue collection activities on inactive accounts that do not have an established repayment

2 plan. We continue to work with SCE to assist us in collecting the outstanding balances from the customers; however, due to CPUC COVID policies, collection activities have been minimized: for example, no disconnection of service due to nonpayment are being conducted until further notice.

As a result of the positive steps and decisions made to date, it is expected that the City will net out approximately $ $274,229 by the end of 2022, plus a potential $80,000 (reduced amount based on CAPP 2022 being applied to only residential customers) in CAPP funds by May of 2023. Previously, the estimate given the City in March was a negative balance of $86,645. The primary variable with the increased amount in revenue is the customer receivables, which had not been included in the previous calculation.

BACKGROUND
Upon City Council direction, the City completed the decertification and reversion process as of March 25, 2022. At its meeting of March 16, 2022, the City Council authorized the CEO, the Dir ector of Finance, and the City Attorney to effectuate a number of transactions related to the decertification, reversion, and decommissioning of the BPROUD program, such as the approval of a contract amendment with CalChoice and its family of consultants. An update is presented in the Discussion section.

DISCUSSION
BPROUD ceased serving load as of February 28, 2022. This means that as of that date, BPROUD was no longer providing electricity to BPROUD customers as a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA). Full Reversion to SCE was completed almost simultaneously on March 5, 2022. Full reversion means that every BPROUD customer has been identified and migrated to the SCE system. As reported previously, the transition went extremely smoothly with no service interruptions and no issues of significance.

Below is a listing of the process transactions that have transpired since our last report of March 16, 2022:

1. CPUC has acknowledged the termination of BPROUD as a CCA

2. All services conducted by CalChoice and its subconsultants have been terminated as agreed upon

3. All funds from the sale of the remaining energy contracts have been collected

4. SCE has developed a weekly report to track payment plans, and uncollected funds from active and inactive accounts

5. 2021 Power Source Disclosure Report and Power Content Label is being submitted to the City for attestation. Once approved it will be submitted to the CEC

6. Financial audit has been completed as a part of a CAISO requirement

7. Termination letter to the CAISO has been submitted

8. Further conversation with the CEC are being conducted to reduce the regulatory requirements between 2023-2025.

9. Initiated discussions with SCE and CA CSD on CAPP 2.0 (2022) for potential new funds to help pay for residential customer uncollected funds. If BPROUD qualifies, funds would be collected in 2023.

Future actions:

1. Power Source Disclosure (PSD) due in 2023 for the active months of 2022

2. Power Content Label (PCL) due in 2023 for the active months of 2022

3 3. Contract with NRG will terminate in September 2022

4. Account with RiverCity bank will remain active beyond 2022

ALTERNATIVES
No alternatives recommended.

DATE: August 17, 2022
SUBJECT: Designation of Funds from Settlement Agreement with Athens Inc./Irwindale MRF

SUMMARY
At its meeting of December 15, 2022, the City Council approved a settlement agreement with Athens, Inc as a more prudent alternative to the ongoing litigation associated with the City’s lawsuit challenging the adequacy of the Environmental Impact Report (E IR). The City prevailed. Subsequent to revisions made to the EIR by Athens and Irwindale, the court deemed it adequate. While the City filed an appeal, the City found settlement a better option. As part of the settlement, Athens agreed to pay the City $300,000 over three years, in annual installments of $100,000 each. The City has received the first installment in June 2022.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Designate the first $100,000 received by the City toward the development of the pocket park at Joanbridge Street and Maine Ave in the vicinity of the MRF.

2. Declare that Council designates all funds received from the settlement with Athens shall be used for beneficial and mitigation purposes in the community around the MRF

3. Instruct the CEO and the Director of Finance to obtain approval from Council for specific designation of future payments.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds ($100,000) are deposited currently in the Com munity Fund. Upon approval by Council of this report they will be designated and appropriated for the pocket park.

BACKGROUND
On April 6, 2022, the City Council approved the acquisition of the parcel (APN 8536- 016-001) located at the NW corner of Maine Av enue and Joanbridge Street, as an opportunity site for the future development of a pocket park, in consideration of the fact that there are no parks in this area of the City. Staff have been working on assembling a funding package from grants and other sources to be able to develop the pocket park. Designating the $100,000 as recommended herein would catalyze the development of the park.

DISCUSSION
The operation of a Material Recovery Facility (MRF) inherently brings about potential impacts in the form of traffic and air emissions, though there are significant mitigation measures put in place as part of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

The proposed pocket park is in close proximity to the MRF , which located at Maine and Arrow Highway in the City of Irwindale, and easily accessible by the residents in the neighborhood.

It will provide an open space with park features like trees, benches, and other amenities for the community, providing further mitigation to impacts related to the MRF.

ALTERNATIVES
Council can choose not to designate the settlement funds for the pocket park.

DATE: August 17, 2022
SUBJECT: Approval of Agreement with Dragonfly Public Affairs to Provide Consultant Services for the Development of the Sales Tax Measure Initiative – Measure BP (Proposed Letter Designation)

SUMMARY
The purpose of this staff report is to request for City Council consider the approval of Agreement with Dragonfly Public Affairs (DPA) to Provide Consultant Services for the Development of the Sales Tax Measure Initiative – Measure BP (Proposed Letter Disignation).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate $50,000 of general funds and make necessary changes to the budget.

FISCAL IMPACT
In January 2022, under the signing authority of the CEO, the City entered into an agreement with DPA for a monthly retainer of $4,500 for a year -to-date total of $24,500. The Agreement was entered to quickly and timely design a development strategy for a sales tax measure for consideration by the City Council, and ultimately city voters. There is fiscal impact to the general fund of $50,000.

BACKGROUND
In early 2022, the consideration for a potential ballot measure for the remainder of the sales tax was discussed among staff, and it quickly became an idea that was formally present to City Council. At their April 20, 2022, City Council Meeting, City Council authorized staff to proceed with a public engagement phase, during which over eleven (11) in person meetings were held with residents, and hosted various virtual meetings. At their July 20, 2022, City Council Meeting, City Council approved the measure to be placed on the November 8, 2022, ballot, under the requested letter designation of Measure BP. DPA has been assisting the Executive Team and the Stakeholders Advisory Committee with program strategy, tactical tasks, development of an educational and informational campaign for Measure BP.

City Council approved the proposed Measure BP to proceed to be placed on the November 8, 2022, general election. The need for an ongoing, yet more intensive public education and informational outreach will continue as City staff implements an educational and informational strategy to ensure residents and stakeholders are informed of the merits of Measure BP. The services of DPA in assisting City Staff will continue to be critical to the educational element of Measure BP.

ALTERNATIVES
City Council may consider not to approve and provide other options.

STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. ________9_________

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Enrique C. Zaldivar, Chief Executive Officer
Lourdes Morales, Chief Deputy City Clerk
DATE: August 17, 2022
SUBJECT: Minimum Wage for Healthcare Workers – Report Back

SUMMARY
At their meeting of July 6, 2022, the City Council directed staff to explore the possibility of a compromise between the proponents and opponents of the Minimum Wage for Healthcare Workers ballot initiative in the City of Baldwin Park. Staff briefly consulted with both sides and herein provides a report back.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact in as much as there is no recommended action.

BACKGROUND
The City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-035 affirming acceptance of Certificate of Insufficiency initiative petition entitled “Initiative Measure Regarding Minimum Wage for Healthcare Workers”. As such, the proposed initiative did not qualify to be placed on the ballot for the November 8, 2022, general election.

During the City Council consideration of the resolution, both the proponent and the opponent parties offered testimony regarding their respective vi ews on the proposed initiative. The proponent side was represented by SEIU -UHW, and the opponent side was represented by the Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC).

Upon hearing testimony on the item during the public comment period, City Council deliberated and certified the resolution. Council further directed staff to explore the possibility of the two parties reaching a compromise that could then be considered by the City Council for legislative action.

DISCUSSION
In carrying out the City Council direction, staff organized separate exploratory discussions between City staff and the Proponent (SEIU-UHW), and City staff and the Opponent (HASC). While the discussions were cordial and respectful, staff concluded that there was not sufficient willingness at this juncture to bring the two parties together to try to broker a compromise. Proponent cited other cities willingness like Los Angeles to legislate by ordinance a minimum wage of $25/hour for healthcare workers.

Opponent cited that the economic impact caused by the proposal would be seriously impactful for all operators, but devastatingly so for smaller community clinics. They feel that no legislated option should be pursued by Baldwin Park without first conducting a full economic impact analysis. Proponent seemed inclined to engage further in discussions brokered by the City. Opponent felt that the timing was not suitable for further discussions at this time leading up to the election in November.

Following is a status of all the cities in the County of Los Angeles where the proponent submitted a ballot measure initiative:

Cities Where Initiative Qualified

1. Downey (Enacted by ordinance)

2. Duarte (November election)

3. Inglewood (November election)

4. Long Beach (enacted by ordinance)

5. Los Angeles (enacted by ordinance)

6. Monterey Park (enacted by ordinance)

Cities Where Initiative did not Qualified

7. Baldwin Park (did not qualify)

8. Culver City (did not qualify)

9. Lynwood (did not qualify)

ALTERNATIVES
City Council can keep the discussion open until a later date.

LEGAL REVIEW
City Attorney has reviewed this report.

STAFF REPORT

Rose Tam, Director of Finance
DATE: August 17, 2022
SUBJECT: Appropriate Additional Funds for Increase to Contract Price for Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control

SUMMARY
The purpose of this staff report is for City Council to approve additional funding in the amount of $188,579.51 for the contract with the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) for FY 2021-22 in order to cover that year’s expenses.

Staff recommends that American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds be used to support this increase since the care of animals within Baldwin Park is a vital service to the community, and COVID-19 can spread between people, pets, and wildlife per the CDC (Center for Disease Control).

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Finance Director to appropriate ARPA funds to cover the estimated additional cost of $188,579.51 and make necessary adjustments to the budget.

FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no negative impact to the General Fund as ARPA funds will be used to fund this increase.

The funding will come from the Community Assistance Programs set aside funds using account # 275- 30-712-51100-13250.

LEGAL REVIEW
Not applicable.

BACKGROUND
In FY2021-22, $345,000 was originally budgeted for DACC contract costs. The total actual cost for the fiscal year was $533,579.51. The difference needed to balance the budget is $188,579.51.

Before 2018, DACC’s costs increased at a rate of approximately 5% to 6% per year. In early 2018, DACC announced a plan to increase the costs to contract cities by approximately 400% over a six-year period beginning FY2018-19.

Due to the strong response f rom contract cities, DACC agreed to delay implementation of this annual cost step-up plan and to have its internal cost measuring processes reexamined. For two years, DACC kept its costs to contract cities in line with previous increases of a small percentage per year. The City continued to budget costs in line with this billing methodology from DACC.

After the City had finalized its budget for FY2021-22, DACC implemented a large increase to its costs.

While not as large as originally projected in DACC’s 2018 estimate for FY2021-22 ($900,474), the larger bill for the year ($533,579.51) exceeded what the City had projected.

Task 1.2 Plan Development & Staff Onboarding

City Net will work with the SGVRHT, SGVCOG, and City staff to develop an Operations, Staffing, and Services Plan (Plan) for the site. The Plan should outline how the site will be operated to ensure that all site residents receive the resources that they need to move into permanent housing as quickly as practicable.

The Plan should outline roles and responsibilities for onsite staff, as well as how these staff will work with other off-site staff and services. The Plan should also outline the approach to ensure that all needed services are available for the site's participants, and for services not available at the site, where the services can be found and how they would be accessed. For example, the Plan should maximize participant connection to these existing services and strengthen coordination with participants’ existing case managers and housing navigators. City Net should include specific partnership opportunities with additional service providers and agencies in the region providing resources to families experiencing homelessness.

hospitalization or skilled nursing care. Adult participants must be able to manage Activities of Daily Living (i.e., ability to transfer in and out of a bed, bathe, dress, and address hygiene needs independently). Adult participants should include those with less urgent needs, considered moderate or mid-range acuity, or low acuity (or low to moderate service needs).

Participants must be able to meet any custody, parole, or othe r legal requirements while residing at the site in to be eligible. The Plan’s participant eligibility requirements should aim to maximize the likelihood of success of placing participants into permanent housing. ● Referrals Process: City Net will develop policies and procedures for accepting referrals.

Plan will include accepting referrals from City staff, City public safety teams, City - and SGVCOG-contracted housing navigators, CES -outreach teams, and other CES partners (hereafter referred to as “Partners”) . City Net will work with Partners to prioritize participants living adjacent to the site and those experiencing homelessness in the site's jurisdiction, surrounding jurisdictions, or Service Planning Area (SPA) 3. ● Program Intake: City Net will establish an intake process and procedures. Plan will include ensuring that all participants are enrolled in HMIS and updating information in HMIS.
● Housing and Services Plan: For those participants that do not have one, following intake and assessment, City Net must work with each participant and any case manager and/or housing navigator to develop a Housing and Services Plan. Plan should include existing services to which to connect the participant. If the participant already has a Housing and Services Plan, City Net will work with the participant and their existing housing navigator to update the plan as necessary. City Net will work with the participant and other assigned case managers to complete a monthly update to assess progress towards achieving the goals defined in the Housing and Services Plan.
● Community Rules: City Net will develop policies and procedures for individual family units and communal areas to ensure safety of all participants with particular attention to supervision of children at the site. Each family will be responsible for monitoring their children and City Net will be responsible for confirming each family is aware of the monitoring requirements and rules for communal areas.
● Program Exit: City Net will develop policies and procedures that adhere to best practices for exiting participants from the site. These include striving to move participants out of the Program and into permanent housing as quickly as possible, assisting with reunification services or assisting the participant with self-resolving their housing bridge, and otherwise assisting participants in fulfilling their Housing and Services Plan. The policies and procedures should also establish expectations for lengths of stay and when participants should otherwise be exited from the pr ogram (e.g. not utilizing a unit; hospitalization; incarceration). Plan will include entering exit information into a case note in HMIS and submitting an SGVRHT exit form.
● Safety Concerns: City Net will establish protocols when a participant is deemed a risk to the safety of City Net’s staff or other participants. City Net must have a policy about how to manage the return of participants who are exited due to concerns about the safety of other participants or staff created by the exited participant.

Site Management and Oversight
● Plan will include the following
○ Provision of three meals per client prepared onsite or delivered to the site daily DocuSign Envelope ID: 2B7DDDE8-8021-4CC1-8B41-4A88D6900151 EXHIBIT “A”

○ Promptly and appropriately respond to the needs of participants, including referrals to medical, mental health, and other relevant service providers . The plan must include procedures for addressing emergency situations including notifying the SGVRHT and City within twenty-four (24) hours.

Case Management, Housing Navigation, and Connection to Existing Services ● Coordination with Existing Case Managers and Housing Navigators: The Plan will include coordination with participants’ existing case managers and housing navigato rs to facilitate linkage to services and referrals to permanent housing. The Plan will outline how to efficiently coordinate with existing case managers and housing navigators. ● Site-Based Case Management and Housing Navigation: City Net will provide case management services to assist participants in accessing permanent housing through referrals to housing programs, such as Rapid Rehousing, Permanent Supportive Housing, and affordable housing, or assisting the participant in self -resolving their housing bridge.

The Plan will outline how to efficiently provide case management and housing navigation at the site and in collaboration with existing offsite resources. This includes both how clients will be connected to vouchers and how clients will be supporting in securing housing where the vouchers can be used.
● Coordination with Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS): City Net will coordinate with DCFS and other departments to ensure families are in compliance and receive necessary services. City Net will provide site access to these agencies as required. ● Coordination with School District: City Net will coordinate with staff at local schools to meet the needs of children residing at the site.
● Connection to Existing Services: In addition to housing support, case management should include linkage to services, including but not limited to health care, behavioral or mental health services, substance use treatment, employment services, and identifying transportation to those services. City Net is expected to connect participants to existing services in SPA 3 as needed.
