COMMUNICATION

Councilmember Avila seeks consensus from the Council to direct staff to jointly work with City Attorney to develop and present to the City Council for its consideration a legislative and regulatory framework by which the City could regulate short -term rentals by means of an Ordinance, which includes the application of the City’s 10% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT). Short-term rentals, also known as Home -
Sharing, have become far more common place in recent years. Some cities in Southern California such as Los Angeles, have enacted a local regulatory regime that safeguards existing affordable housing stock and attempts to maintain affordability in the normal housing rental stock.

CEO Zaldivar wants to communicate to the City Council the preparation activities leading up to the 4th of July, with regards to the sale and the safe use of legal fireworks, and seeks any further direction from the City Council.

For purposes of clarifying the City Council Meeting Calendar, with the Fourth of July Legal Holiday in 2023 falling on the Tuesday July 4 before the Wednesday July 5 th City Council meeting, it is herein
clarified that the City Council Meeting of July 5th will take place as scheduled.

Communicate to City Council that Commissions Packets will be sen t to them for review and a Staff Report will be brought to the July 5, 2023 Regular City Council for appointment.

The City’s Investment Policy is in compliance with the Government Code. The criteria for selecting investments in their order of priority are (1) safety, (2) liquidity, and (3) yield.

CITY OF BALDWIN PARK

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
FISCAL YEAR 2023‐24
A. PURPOSE
The Investment Policy establishes guidelines for the investment of the City’s surplus cash that is not required to meet the daily cash obligations of the City. The Investment Policy outlines the investment objectives and the allowable investments in accordance with applicable laws of the State of California.

B. SCOPE

1. The Investment Policy applies to all financial assets of the City as included in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.

2. The Investment Policy applies to activities of the City regarding investing surplus cash of all funds, including:
a. General Fund
b. Housing Authority
c. Successor Agency
d. Financing Authority
e. Special Revenue Funds
f. Internal Service Funds
g. Trust & Agency Funds
C. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
The City Council has appointed the City’s elected Treasurer to be responsible for surplus cash management and investment decisions and transactions. Daily cash management responsibility has been delegated to the City’s Department of Finance. The Director of Finance, Accounting Manager and designated staff sha
ll ensure compliance with the City’s
investment policy. All investment transactions will be approved by either the City Treasurer or the Director of Finance.

D. OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives, in order of priority, of the City of Baldwin Park’s investment activities are safety, liquidity and yield. The criteria for each are discussed below.

1. SAFETY: The safety and risk associated with an investment, refers to the potential loss of principal or interest or a combination of these two amounts. Safety of principal is the primary objective and only those investments considered to be very safe will be utilized by the City of City of Baldwin Park
Statement of Investment Policy
Fiscal Year 2023‐24

Page 2 of 5 ends

Baldwin Park. The City shall seek to ensure that capital losses resulting from securities default or the erosion of market value are avoided.

2. LIQUIDITY: This refers to the ability to “cash in” at any moment in time with minimal chance of losing a portion of the principal or interest. Liquidity shall remain sufficient to enable the City of Baldwin Park to meet anticipated operating needs and hold any investments to maturity.

3. YIELD: Y ield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide; this is also described as the rate of return or “interest”. The City’s investment portfolio shall be managed to obtain market rates of interest while preserving and protecting capital in the overall portfolio.

E. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Officials and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from all personal business activity that could conflict with the management of the investment program or impairs their ability to make impartial investment decisions. All individuals involved shall disclose all gifts and income in accordance with California State Law.

F. STRATEGIES

1. The City shall maintain a cash management system which accurately monitors and forecasts revenues and expenditures enabling the City to invest surplus cash to the fullest extent possible.

2. The City shall apply the prudent investor standard in the context of managing the overall portfolio. When making investment decisions, the City shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under circumstances then prevailing, including but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City. The City would use the standard that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of like character and with li ke aims, to safeguard the principal while maintaining the appropriate liquidity.

3. The City shall manage the investment portfolio with a buy‐and‐hold strategy rather than seek optional returns through such techniques as swaps. The buy‐and‐hold strategy e nsures the return of all invested principal monies. The latter approach would require an allocation of resources, the cost of which may be greater than the benefit realized.

G. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

1. The City is authorized to invest in certain types of s ecurities in accordance with California Government Code Section 53601 et. seq. and 53635 et. seq. Authorized investments shall also include investments with the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) in accordance with the California Government Code Section 16429.1. The City has further limited the types of City of Baldwin Park

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Rose Tam, Director of Finance
DATE: June 21, 2023
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2023 -020 Setting the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2023-24

SUMMARY
The City of Baldwin Park is required by State law to annually adopt a resolution establishing the City’s Appropriations Limit. The Appropriations Limit applies to the City’s General Fund expenditures. The Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2023- 24 is $98 ,121,548. The budgeted revenues subject to limitation for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 is $31,644,676.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2023- 020, setting the Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2023-24 at $98,121,548.

FISCAL IMPACT
None

BACKGROUND
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution specifies that appropriations made by State and local governments may increase annually by no more than a factor comprised of the change in population combined with either the change in California per capita personal income or the change in the local assessment roll due to local non-residential construction, whichever is greater. The original base year was 1978, so the formula is based on the aggregate increase annually since that date.

Data provided by the State Department of Finance indicates that the population change in the City of Baldwin Park over the last year was - 0.63%. Additionally, California’s per capita personal income change was 4.44%. These factors combined will increase the City’s annual appropriations limit to $98,121,548 for the Fiscal Year 2023- 24. Although the law authorizes the City to spend up to this amount from the proceeds of taxes, the Fiscal Year 2023- 24 adopted General Fund budget proposes to appropriate only 32% of this limit.

ALTERNATIVES
There is no alternative for the City Council to consider as the State Constitution mandates cities to prepare the appropriations limit annually and adopted by the City Council.

LEGAL REVIEW
This report has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney as to legal form and content.

DATE: June 21, 2023
SUBJECT: Accept Traffic Signal Battery Back System Improvements, and Authorize the Filing of a Notice of Completion for City Project, CIP 20- 197 Citywide Traffic Signal Battery Back- up Systems (BBS)

SUMMARY
This report seeks Council consideration for the acceptance of Citywide Traffic Signal Battery Back- up Systems (BBS) improvements at 28 intersections. This item will close the construction contract and authorize the filling of a Notice of Completion (NOC) with the LA County Recorder’s Office. The work includes the installation of battery powered back-up systems at select signalized intersections to allow full operation during power outages.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Accept the construction improvements by Yunex LLC (dba Yunex Traffic) and authorize the recordation of a Notice of Completion for City Project No. CIP 20- 197 Citywide Traffic Signal Battery Back-up Systems (BBS); and

2. Authorize the release of retention funds in the amount of $14,625.00 to Yunex LLC upon the expiration of 35-day notice period.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. The total FY2022- 23 approved CIP budget for the project is $321,750.00 detailed in the following table:

Approved Funds Amount
CIP21-197 Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District LLMD – Acct. #251-50-520-58100-55000 $183,978.25
Prop C Proposition C - Acct #245-50-520-58100-55000 $137,771.75 Total $321,750.00

Construction Costs Amount
Construction Contract $292,500.00
Construction Contingency Used 0.00
Total Construction Costs $292,500.00

Page 2 ends

BACKGROUND
On September 11, 2022, a total of three (3) bids were received and checked for errors, and all were determined to be valid. The lowest responsive and responsible bid was from Yunex LLC (dba Yunex Traffic) of Riverside, CA with a bid of $292,500.00.

On October 19, 2022, City Council approved plans and specifications for the project, authorize the award of a construction contract with Yunex LLC, in an amount of $292,500.

The 28 (twenty -eight) intersections were selected out of 52 other qualified locations, based on the priority of the street route with the higher vehicle volumes to keep traffic signals working during outages.

DISCUSSION
The proposed project consists of twenty -eight (28) Battery Backup Systems (BBS) being installed at priority s ignalized intersections that do not have power backup systems to stay on in the event of electrical power outages. The systems will stay on for approximately 2-3 hours in normal operation and if power is not restored will go into flash mode for approximately 4-5 hours. This will help prevent traffic gridlock during rolling power outages. This is the first phase of the program with phase two expected to complete an additional 23 BBS on remaining traffic signal controllers.

The project experienced delays due to the material supply delays. The major delay was experienced with the procurement of inverters which took over five months for delivery. Yunex worked with Western, Inc. the supplier to assure the City that the project would be completed in FY 2022-2023.

The total construction cost of the project is $292,500.00 with no additional cost for change orders. To complete the project close-out, Staff recommends that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize staff to file a Notice of Completion with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Office and to Authorize the release of retention funds in the amount of $14,625.00 to Yunex LLC upon the expiration of 35- day notification period to suppliers and subcontractors of the intent to close- out the project.

CEQA REVIEW
The subject project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to a Class 1 (Section 15201, Existing Facilities), subsection (c) exemption, which includes the replacement and or the installation of battery backup systems at existing traffic signal locations. The key consideration for a Class 1 exemption is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.

LEGAL REVIEW
Not Required.

SUBJECT: Approval of an updated Affordable Homeownership Expansion Program and Project Activities Implemented by the San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity.

SUMMARY
This report seeks Council approval of an update to the project activities and associated funding sources related to the previously approved Affordable Homeownership Expansion Program with SGV Habitat.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Approve the updated Affordable Homeownership Expansion Program and Project Activities from funds authorized by the City Council on October 6, 2021; and

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate funding for this updated Program and Project Activities and make the necessary budget adjustment; and

3. Authorize the Chief Executive Officer, City Attorney, and Special Legal Counsel (Christensen & Spath, LLP to continue carrying out all subsequent and needed actions to proceed with the Program, including approving real estate purchase transactions, and executing agreements including forms of Agreements for using American Rescue Act Funds, and Future Development Funds.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. The use of funds for this program were authorized by the City Council on October 6, 2021, approving $3,584,659 in funding under the Affordable Homeownership Expansion agreement as follows:
• Up to $2 million in American Rescue Act Funds

Page 2 ends

BACKGROUND
On October 6, 2021, the Council approved an Affordable Homeownership Expansion Agreement (“AHEA”) with SGV Habitat for the purpose of expanding affordable homeownership projects in the city to benefit low-income families. The programs identified included new home construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of existing homes and/or substantial rehabilitation/critical home repairs for existing homeowners. Low- income families are defined as families that earn 80% or less of the Area Median Income or $100,900 for a family four.

On February 16, 2022, the Council approved the form of the agreements to implement an acquisition and rehabilitation housing program to acquire existing homes and rehabilitate them for sale to low - income families utilizing HOME Investment Partnership Program (“HOME”) Funds.

On August 3, 2022, the Council also approved the form of the agreements to implement an acquisition and rehabilitation housing program utilizing Low-Mod funds to acquire existing homes and rehabilitate them for sale to low-income families. The approval of the form and agreements and use of both HOME and Low-Mod funds authorized the CEO to approve real estate purchases and execute the agreements, thus positioning the City to move swiftly in a competitive seller’s market.

On April 5, 2023, SGV Habitat made a presentation updating the City Council on the program and project activities since receiving approval of the Affordable Homeownership Expansion Agreement (“AHEA”) with SGV Habitat.

DISCUSSION
The proposed update to the program will now match each funding source to specific eligible project activities. The program would produce or preserve approximately 62 affordable ownership housing units throughout the City. SGV Habitat is prepared to implement the following activities as part of the program:

Acquisition-rehabilitation: Includes condos, detached homes, and SB 9 lot splits. The latter requires the purchase of a house and later subdivision of the property to enable construction of a new detached house on the back lot. SGV rehabilitates the front house and builds a second home behind it. The outcome is that SGV Habitat sells two homes to eligible low-income buyers at affordable prices. Current activity: SGV Habitat in March 2023 purchased 4085 Bresee Ave. leveraging Low-Mod funds from the City of Baldwin Park of $222,681. The front house is being renovated and have applied for City approval of a lot split and design/plan for an additional house (adaptive reuse of garage plus addition).

Tentative Completion Date: October 2023.

ADUs. SGV Habitat plans to build 4 ADUs mainly through conversion of existing garages to rental units. Participating homeowners must be at 80% of AMI or below. Each ADU will be financed as the additional ADUs can be constructed in the future using funds from repaid ADU loans. Tentative Launch Date: June 2023.

Owner Occupied Rehabilitation . Includes replacement of roofs, fences, gutters, garage doors, doors; exterior painting; upgraded electri cal or plumbing; accessibility upgrades; and correcting code enforcement items. Total expenditures per house not to exceed an average of $14,772, in aggregate.

Current activity: Seven homes have been repaired and completed for income- eligible Baldwin Park homeowners to date.
12779 Torch Street Homes: City-approved funds of $525,000 will directly support the construction of 12 attached affordable townhomes, including off-site improvements required by the City. These funds will supplement the City’s original investment of $1.41 million to purchase the Torch site approved in May 2021, which was prior to the City’s approval of the Affordable Homeownership Expansion Agreement. Current activity: The project is currently under review with City staff, for design review and entitlement clearances. Expected Completion: First quarter 2025. 4288 Stewart Avenue Homes: City -approved funds of $1,200,000 will directly support the construction of 16 attached affordable homes, including of f-site improvements required by the City.

Includes the adaptive reuse of portions of the existing Baldwin Park Presbyterian Church as well as newly built units. The project is in its inception phase. Expected Completion: 3 rd quarter 2025.

LEGAL REVIEW
The agreements have been reviewed and approved by Special Legal Counsel (Christensen & Spath, LLP) and the City Attorney as to legal form and content.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Sam Gutierrez, Director of Public Works
DATE: June 21, 2023
SUBJECT: Approval of Additional Funds to Cover Los Angeles County Plan Check and Review Fees for the San Gabriel River
Bikeway Greening Project CIP 20-129

SUMMARY
This item request approval for an appropriation of $9,896.36 and authorizes payment to the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works (LACDPW) for plan check and review services for the San Gabriel River Greenway Project. This project is the second phase of the San Gabriel River Bikeway Project, which is currently under construction. The project will install landscaping, irrigation, signage, and fencing along that bikeway as well as bike ramps, stairs, and improvements connecting the bikeway to Walnut Creek Nature Park. This item will approve funding to cover outstanding plan check and review fees due to LACDPW enabling submittal to the Army Corp of Engineers for further review.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
1) Authorize the Director of Finance to appropriate additional funds in the amount of $9,896.36 from Fund 245 - Prop. C to account number 245-50-520-58100-15093. 2) Authorize the Director of Public Works to process the outstanding payments due to LACDPW for plan check and review services.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund. An appropriation from Fund 245 - Prop C is requested to cover the plan check services fees.

Project Account Number Amount
San Gabriel River Bikeway Greening – CIP 20-129 245-50-520-58100-15093 $ 9,896.36 Total $ 9,896.36

BACKGROUND
The San Gabriel River Bikeway Project is part of regional effort to construct a shared- use bike and pedestrian paths that connects to a larger County Bike Master plan for the San Gabriel Valley that will improve regional connectivity while implementing water and ecosystem conservation features . Once completed, the San Gabriel River Bik eway will serve as viable local and regional Class I bike and pedestrian trail that will connect to Walnut Creek Nature Park and provide future pathway connection to Hilda L. Solis Park through the Big Dalton Trail Project. The project will bring opportunities for active transportation uses, such as biking and walking that will contribute to GHG reduction and provide additional public health benefits.

Phase 1 of this project is a 2.3- mile pathway that has been broken down into two projects; 1) civil improvements including the construction of the asphalt concrete pathway and 2) installation of greening features, which will include landscaping, irrigation, signage, and fencing. The civil portion of this project is currently under construction utilizing funds from the annual designations of local return funds from

Page 2 ends

the Transportation Development Act Article 3 (TDA -3) and Proposition C (Prop C) along with a grant from Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA call for project s). The greening portion of the project is currently under design development using funds from the Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 3 Grant, Prop C, and a Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC) grant under Prop 68.

DISCUSSION
As part of the design development process for the greenway portion of the project, Staff has coordinated with various third-party plan check and review entities with jurisdictional control, including the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Los Angeles County Flood Control (LACFC), Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW), and Southern California Edison (SCE). LACDPW review is contingent for submittal of the project to the Army Corp of Engineers (ACE) for review.

At various cycles of the plan check process, additional and unanticipated costs were incurred in relation to complying with review comments and making the necessary adjustments to the design plans. As a result, the budget ed funds allocated for design have been exhausted . However, there are several outstanding invoices for plan check and review services due to LACDPW. An appropriation of $9,896.36 is required to cover th e invoices and to make a budget reconciliation adjustment for an expenditure incurred during the carryover process. Once payment is processed, the plans would be approved by LACDPW and ready for permitting pending ACE review . ACE review is the final review phase prior to construction authorization. This is anticipated to be a prolonged and challenging process potentially adding an additional 12 months to the project’s timeline. It is critical that the plans be submitted to ACE sooner rather than later to shorten the amount of time between reviews and the construction bid.

ALTERNATIVES

1. The City Council may choose not to approve the appropriation at this time and direct Staff to program the funds in the next CIP cycle. This action is not recommended as it may delay submittal of the project to ACE for review and in turn negatively impact the ATP Grant timeline requirements.

2. Provide Staff with alternative direction.

CEQA REVIEW
The subject San Gabriel River Commuter Bikeway Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to a Class 1 (Section 15201, Existing Facilities), subsection (c) exemption, which includes the repair, maintenance, and/or minor alteration of existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety) The key consideration for a Class 1 exemption is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use

DATE: June 21, 2023
SUBJECT: Approval of Payment to the Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA/Metrolink) Covering Outstanding Balance Due per the Construction and Maintenance (C&M) Agreement for the Rail Safety Crossing Improvements Project at Pacific Avenue

SUMMARY
This report seeks City Council Approval for payment to Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) to cover the remaining balance per the Construction and Maintenance (C&M) agreement for construction of railroad improvements on Pacific Avenue betwe en Bogart and Downing Avenue.

Improvements at the at -grade crossing will provide safety upgrades for pedestrian and vehicular travelers and will construct necessary improvements to make the crossing ready for future Quiet Zone implementation.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize payment in the amount of $37,642.00 to SCRRA to cover the remaining balance on the C&M Agreement for construction of railroad improvements on Pacific Avenue between Bogart and Downing Avenue.

FISCAL IMPACT
The approval of this action will have no impact on the City’s General Fund. This project is funded through Caltrans’ Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), Prop C Local Match, First and Last Mile MTA Grant, and Measure M Revenue Bond Funds. The project is included in the current Fiscal Year’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) approved by City Council on September 1, 2021. There is no additional appropriation required. The funds are available in the approved budget for the project.

BACKGROUND
Since the project’s inception in October 2012, the project has undergone various phases of design development, expansion of scope and project milestone attainments. Through success in procurement of project funding, the project, was able to overcome challenges and proceed through several evolving stages, including obtaining construction authorizations through the various corresponding jurisdictions namely, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA/Metrolink) and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Of significant note, is the development and approval of a Construction & Maintenance Agreement (C&M) with SCRRA enabling the commencement of construction of the safety improvements at the Pacific Boulevard at - grade crossing.

The C&M Agreement was approved and executed in December 2022 including an initial payment to SCRRA in the amount of $ $3,643,508.00. Approval of this item will authorize payment for the remaining balance in the amount of $37,642.00.

Page 2 ends

DISCUSSION
The planned improvements at the at-grade crossings will bring the highway-rail crossing up to current SCRRA Grade Crossing Safety Standards and may include among other improvements, new raised median islands, additional warning devices with gate arms and cantilevered flashing signals, improved pavement, curbs, gutters and sidewalks with pedestrian warning devices such as pedestrian gate arms, emergency swing gates, channelization and other enhancements, right -of-way swing gates, signing and striping, and other roadway improvements. These facilities will be built to SCRRA standards with slight design deviations due to the existing site conditions and crossing geometry. Additionally, the improvements at Foster Avenue which is an at -grade pedestrian- only crossing may include improvements to pavement, curbs, gutters, and ADA accessible sidewalks with pedestrian warning devices such as pedestrian gate arms.

Rail crossing signal design services for the Pacific Avenue crossing were handled by SCRRA through a Design Services Agreement ( DSA) and have since been completed. The C&M Agreement was authorized and executed in December 2022 with an initial payment of $3,643,508.00. This report requests authorization for payment utilizing funds previously allocated for this project to cover the remaining balance in the amount of $37,642.00 to SCRRA so that the City can bid the project and commence construction in late 2023.

ALTERNATIVES

1. The City Council may choose not to approve the payment to SCRRA and direct staff to renegotiate the amount. This action is not recommended as the C&M agreement has already been approved and executed by City and SCRRA establishing the agreed upon amount.

Renegotiations will delay the project start.

2. Provide Staff with alternate direction.

CEQA REVIEW
The subject project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to a class 1 (section 15201, existing facilities), subsection (c) exemption, which includes the repair, maintenance, and/or minor alteration of existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gut ters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety). The key consideration for a class 1 exemption is whether the project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

FROM:

Ron Garcia, Director of Community Development
Mel Chipres, Associate Planner
DATE: June 21, 2023
SUBJECT: A request for consideration of an amendment to update the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Code relating to State
Legislation for Objective Design Standards (ODS) and Senate Bill (SB) 9 Development Standards (Location: City Wide; Case Number AZC 23-01).

SUMMARY
On May 24, 2023, the Baldwin Park Planning Commission adopted Res olution PC 23-12 and PC 23- 13 recommending that the City council amend the Baldwin Park’s Municipal Code relating to State legislation established by Senate Bill (SB) 35 for Objective Design Standards, and Senate Bill (9) Development Standards

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Conduct a public hearing. 2. Find the proposed project is exempt from further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15358, 15061 (b)(3) of the California State CEQA Guidelines and California Government Code sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n). 3. Adopt and introduce for first reading, by title only Ordinance 1502 and Ordinance 1503, entitled, “AN ORDIANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA AMENDING THE CITY’S MUNICPAL CODE TITLE XV, LAND USAGE, CHAPTER, 153, ZONING CODE, SECTIONS 153.040.070, 153.070.020, 153.120.350, 153.120.360 AND 153.120.370 RELATING OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS (ODS) AND SENATE BILL SB (9) DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS”

FISCAL IMPACT
The City applied and was awarded a LEAP planning grant from the State of California Housing and Community Development Department. The grant award is $300,000 of which $150,000, are allocated respectively to MIG consulting in July of 2021 to update the Housing Element (6th Cycle), and $150,000 to prepare Objective Design Standards and Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) development standards, amend appropriate sections of the Zoning Code, Subdivision Regulations, and preparation of the appropriate CEQA documentation.

BACKGROUND
The development of the Objective Design Standards (ODS) document has been a nearly yearlong process of working with internal departments, a consultant, and with the guidance of Planning Commission and City Council. Staff has done ex tensive research of City’s existing documents that pertain to design standards for multi-family housing and mixed-use development such as the city-wide

Page 2 ends

Design Guidelines, Municipal Code, state laws, and any other research items pertaining to the design standards to elevate the quality of the document. Staff worked with the consultant to establish objective design standards for new multi -family residential developments and mixed- use developments with a residential component, with the intent of achieving and maintaining high- quality site planning and building design in a manner that conforms to community design priorities.

The developed objective design standards will apply to residential projects containing two (2) or more residential dwelling units, including duplexes, triplexes, flats, townhouses, and multi -story, mid -rise building types, and mixed- use projects with at least two- thirds of the square footage designated for residential use. The proposed standards cover a variety of items, including site design, building design and site details.

In addition to developing ODS for multi -family and mixed- use projects, development standards regulating projects submitted under California Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) have been drafted. Under SB 9, local jurisdictions may not preclude the construction of up to two (2) primary dwelling units of at least 800 square feet each on a single- family lot and must review and approve single- family subdivisions ministerially under SB 9. Similar to the development of objective des ign standards for multi -family residential and mixed- use projects, Planning Staff and the consultant team sought community input and guidance from Planning Commission and City Council for the development of these standards. The proposed objective design st andards are intended to help facilitate SB 9 developments, while preserving community character and design features that residents and community members have identified are important in Baldwin Park’s single-family neighborhoods.

RELATIONSHIP TO STATE HOUSING LEGISLATION
Housing Accountability Act Originally passed by the California Legislature in 1982, the Housing Accountability Act (“HAA”) (Government Code Section 65589.5) is designed to promote and encourage infill development and streamline housing approval processes. Over the intervening years, additional legislation and case law have clarified and refined its implementation and scope. In short, the HAA limits local jurisdictions’ (cities and counties) authority by requiring that decision makers base the denial of a conforming housing development project on a very specific set of findings established by state law.

At its core, the HAA requires that when a proposed housing development project meets all “applicable, objective general plan and zoning standards and criteria, including [objective] design review standards,” the local agency cannot “disapprove the project” or “approve it upon the condition that the project be developed at a lower density” unless the agency makes two specific findings:

1. The project would have a specific adverse impact on the public health or safety unless the project were disapproved or developed at a lower density; and

2. There is no feasible method of mitigating or avoiding the impact other than disapproval or reduction in density. Pursuant to the HAA, a “housing development project” includes affordable or market -rate multifamily residential projects, specified mixed-use, and transitional or supportive housing. The various requirements in the HAA apply to all these types of projects, as well as emergency shelters. Although the term is not defined in the statute, objective standards generally include quantifiable requirements (such as building height, size, setbacks, and parking requirements) and other standards that do not require anyone to exercise personal or subjective judgment to determine compliance.

Senate Bill (“SB”) 35
California State Senate Bill (“SB”) 35 (Government Code Section 65913.4), which went into effect on January 1, 2018, was part of a comprehensive bill package aimed at addressing the State’s housing shortage and high costs. SB 35 requires cities and counties to streamline review and approval of eligible

Page 3 ends

affordable housing projects through a ministerial approval process, exempting such projects from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). This process does not allow public hearings to consider the merits of the project; rather only design review or public oversight of the development is allowed, which must be objective and strictly focused on assessing compliance with criteria required for streamlined projects as well as objective design review of the project (Section 65913.4(c)(1)). SB 35 required the availability of a streamlined ministerial approval process for multifamily residential developments in jurisdictions that have not yet made sufficient progress toward meeting their regional housing need allocation (RHNA) goal.

Senate Bill (“SB”) 330
California State Senate Bill (“SB”) 330 Housing Crisis Act of 2019, which went into effect on January 1, 2020, and will sunset on January 1, 2025. The act amends existing state laws and creates new regulations around the production, preservation, and planning of housing. SB 330 will affect both project planning procedure and co mmunity planning outcomes by restricting local rules that limit housing production and further strengthens the Permit Streamlining Act adopted in 1977 (Government Code Section 65920 et seq.) and HAA.

The intent of the Housing Crisis Act is to create certainty in the development of housing projects, speeding up the review of these projects, and to create restrictions on new local regulations. SB 330 prohibits cities and counties, including the electorate (by using its local initiative or referendum power), from establishing rules that would effectively:

· Change the land use designation or zoning of parcels to a less intensive use or reducing the intensity of the land use within an existing specific or general plan or zoning district below what was allowed under the land use designation as of January 1, 2018

· Impose or enforce a moratorium on housing development within all or a selection of the local agency’s jurisdictions.

· Impose or enforce new design standards established on or after January 1, 2020, that are not objective standards.
· Establish or implement limits on permit numbers issue by the city or county unless the limit was approved before January 1, 2005, in a “predominantly agricultural County.”

Senate Bill (“SB”) 9
California State Senate Bill (“SB”) 9, Ministerial Approval of Duplexes and Urban Lot Split, will go into effect January 1, 2022. SB 9 generally requires cities to ministerially approve, within single- family residential zones, housing developments containing no more than two resident ial units and parcels maps for urban lot splits. Ministerial approval means that the City cannot impose ad hoc conditions of approval that reflect an exercise of the City’s discretion. Further, the City cannot deny an application solely because it “proposes adjacent or connected structures provided that the structures meet building code safety standards and are sufficient to allow separate conveyance.” The City may impose objective zoning standards, subdivision standards, and design standards, provided that the objective standards do not preclude the development of up to two units of at least 800 square feet in floor area. Objective standards, as defined by the law, means standards that involve no personal or subjective judgment by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal.

FINDING OF EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
WHEREAS, Baldwin Park Municipal Code Title XV, Land Usage, Chapter 153, Zoning Code, implements the City’s General Plan, establishing land use and development regulations in the City of Baldwin Park (“City”), which includes regulations governing the establishment of objective design standards for multi-family residential and mixed-use developments qualifying for ministerial processing in accordance with the Government Code;
WHEREAS, in 2017, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 35, which took effect on January 1, 2018, requiring a streamlined ministerial approval process for qualifying multi-family residential and mixed-use developments and the establishment of objective design standards in certain jurisdictions that have not made sufficient progress toward meeting their Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA); WHEREAS, in 2019, the California Legislature passed Senate Bill 330 (“Housing Crisis Act of 2019”), which took effect on January 1, 2020, requiring jurisdictions to review qualifying housing development projects against objective design standards that are verifiable and measurable;

WHEREAS, the City desires to amend its local regulations to require multi-family residential and mixed-use developments qualifying for ministerial approval to be consistent with objective design standards;
WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on May 24, 2023 to consider the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments related to objective design standards, and approved Planning Commission Resolution No. 23-12, recommending that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1502, on a vote of __5__ to __0___; and
WHEREAS, on June 21, 2023, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments related to objective design standards at which all those wishing to be heard were allowed to speak or present written comments and other materials.
2 SECTION 1. The foregoing recitations are hereby adopted by the City Council as findings. Based on those findings, and the evidence and records presented, the City Council determines the public health, safety and general welfare of the City, its residents, and property owners can benefit by amending the Baldwin Park Municipal Code (BPMC) to incorporate objective design standards for multi-family residential and mixed-use development projects that qualify for ministerial approval, and it is in the best interest of the community to amend the BPMC accordingly.

The City Council further finds and determines that:

A. The proposed amendments are consistent with the goals and policies of all elements of the General Plan, and any applicable specific plan. The proposed amendments further the City of Baldwin Park’s Housing Element Goals 1.0,

2.0 and 4.0 and Policy 4.1 as they relate to the facilitation of new housing developments in the City of Baldwin Park.

B. The proposed amendments would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City in that they would amend the BPMC to require certain multi-family residential and mixed-use developments to comply with objective design standards, thereby meeting the requirement of state law, and would define certain terms referenced in the objective design standards.

C. The proposed amendments are exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15358 of the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3) because they will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Moreover, the City Council finds that the proposed amendments are exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The proposed amendments create regulations that would ensure multi-family residential and mixed-use developments that are proposed adhere to objective design standards.

SECTION 2. Based on the foregoing findings and determinations, Baldwin Park Municipal Code Title XV (“Land Usage”), Chapter 153 (“Zoning Code”), Subchapter 153.135 (“Objective Design Standards for Multi-Family Residential and Mixed-Use Development”) is hereby incorporated as follows:
153.135.010 INTENT AND PURPOSE
This chapter establishes objective design standards for new multi-family residential developments and mixed-use developments with a residential component, with the intent of achieving and maintaining high-quality site planning and building design in a manner that conforms to community design priorities.

The provisions of this chapter apply to residential projects containing two (2) or more residential dwelling units, including duplexes, triplexes, flats, townhouses, and multi-story, mid-rise building types, and mixed-use projects with at least two-thirds of the square footage designated for residential use.

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park does hereby ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. The foregoing recitations are hereby adopted by the City Council as findings. Based on those findings, and the evidence and records presented, the City Council determines the public health, safety and general welfare of the City, its residents, and property owners can benefit by amending the Baldwin Park Municipal Code (BPMC) to incorporate regulations for the ministerial approval and application of objective design standards for certain urban residential developments and urban lot splits, and it is in the best interest of the community to amend the BPMC accordingly.

The City Council further finds and determines that:

A. The proposed amendments are consistent with the goals and policies of all elements of the General Plan, and any applicable specific plan, as they implement goals and policies of the General Plan to provide increased housing opportunities in the City.

B. The proposed amendments would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare of the City in that they would amend the Municipal Code to require certain urban residential developments and urban lot splits to be approved ministerially and in consideration of objective design standards and other regulations, thereby meeting the requirements of state law.

C. The proposed amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15358 of the CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3) because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Moreover, the City Council finds that this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines as there is no possibility that this activity will have a significant adverse effect on the environment.

Finally, the Ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to California Government Code sections 65852.21(j) and 66411.7(n), which provide that the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of Government Code sections 66411.7 and 65852.21 (i.e., SB 9) is statutorily exempt from CEQA.

SECTION 2. Based on the foregoing findings and determinations, Baldwin Park Municipal Code Title XV (“Land Usage”), Chapter 153 (“Zoning Code”), Subchapter 153.040.010 (“Residential Zones”) is hereby amended as follows:
3 153.40 RESIDENTIAL ZONES
§ 153.040.010 INTENT AND PURPOSE
Four residential zones are established to provide residents with comfortable, healthy, safe and pleasant living environments. These zones should be separated from incompatible and disruptive activities that may conflict with this purpose. The zones are designed to accommodate specific types of development approaches and housing to serve the needs of city residents.
(A) Low-Density Single-Family Residential Zone (R-1-7,500). The R-1-7,500 zone provides areas for the development of detached single-family dwelling units, duplexes, and two attached single-family dwelling units on a single lot on lots greater than or equal to 7,500 square feet in size. The zone is intended to protect and stabilize desirable characteristics of single-family residential areas, including larger lot sizes and separation from incompatible land uses.
(B) Single-Family Residential Zone (R-1). The R-1 zone provides areas for the development of detached single-family dwelling units, duplexes, and two attached single-family dwelling units on a single lot. The zone is also intended to protect and stabilize desirable characteristics of single-family residential areas.
(C) Garden Multi-Family Residential Zone (R-G). The R-G zone provides an environment suitable for both small-lot detached or attached dwelling units where more than one unit may be built on a lot. The intent is to promote desirable characteristics for medium- density neighborhoods.
(D) High Density Multi-Family Residential Zone (R-3). The R-3 zone provides opportunities for persons to live in small-lot single family developments and developments containing multiple units, such as apartments or condominiums with common open space and other shared amenities.

In addition to the requirements contained in this section, regulations and standards for development within the R-1 zone contained in other sections of this chapter may be applied to a qualifying two-unit residential development and the development of a lot created through an urban lot split, unless specifically modified in this section, or unless it would preclude any new primary dwelling unit from being at least 800 square feet in floor area.
(E) Priority to Consideration of Other Exceptions to Standards. Any required standard that would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of up to two primary residential units on a lot or that would physically preclude each new unit from being at least 800 square feet in floor area shall be modified or waived to the extent necessary, 9 as determined by the Community Development Director or designee, to allow the development of two primary residential units on a lot. In order to waive or modify certain standards, the City has established the following priorities and procedures for allowances for exceptions and has established the following limits to the development standards as indicated.

1. The following development standards, in descending order of priority, with the first development standard listed having the highest priority, shall be applied to exceptions:
a) Lot coverage up to 60 percent
b) Dwelling unit front setback, exclusive of garage front, up to within 10 feet of the front property line; the garage front shall be set back at least 20 feet in all circumstances
c) For lots less than 2,000 square feet in size, dwelling unit height up to 22 feet d) Building separation to the minimum separation required by the Building Code e) Private open space area of 15 percent of lot area

2. In applying any exception, an urban development unit or units or urban lot split shall be designed such that a development standard given a lower priority is modified or waived before a development standard given a higher priority. If each lot can accommodate two 800-square-foot primary dwelling units by modifying or waiving a development standard with a lower priority, then an application that proposes a design requiring the modification or waiver of a development standard with a higher priority will be denied.

3. Allowing an exception shall not be interpreted to permit the construction of new garages or accessory structures, or the maintenance of existing accessory structures not providing required parking, where the development or maintenance of two 800- square-foot dwelling units on the lot would not be physically precluded in the absence of such proposed or existing structures.

4. As part of the application for an exception, the applicant shall provide a written explanation that specifically lists every development standard the applicant seeks to modify and waive, describes why waiver or modification of each development standard is needed to prevent physically precluding the construction of up to two primary residential units on the lot and/or each new unit from being at least 800 square feet in floor area, and demonstrates that the requested modifications and/or waivers are consistent with the prioritization hierarchy. (F) Nonconforming Conditions. A two-unit project may be approved without requiring a legal nonconforming zoning condition to be corrected.
(G) Utilities

1. All dwelling units shall be connected to public water utilities and to either public sewer or an onsite wastewater treatment system.

2. Each primary dwelling unit must have its own direct utility connection to the utility 10 service provider.

TOTAL BUDGET (City-Wide Expenditures) $116,820,363

BACKGROUND
The Mayor and City Council are required to adopt a budget each fiscal year for the City and its respective Agencies and Authorities to operate. The Chief Executive Officer and Director of Finance met initially with each member of the Executive Team and their managers/supervisors/assistants to review their departmental budgets and their various requests. From those meetings a proposed budget was assembled for the Mayor and City Council to review and consider.

The objective of the budget presented is to balance the General Fund budget and continue to maintain a healthy fund balance to meet future rising costs including but not limited to CalPERS pension obligations, retiree health benefits, general insurance costs, COLA/CPI, and any unforeseen and/or emergency situations. The City will continue to practice proactive planning, promote increased productivity, encourage efficiency in the workplace, seek new revenues, and reinvest in the community.

The City-wide total proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2023- 24 is $116,820,363. The projected General Fund Reserve balance at the end of the fiscal year will be $13.2 million with an increase from the proposed General Fund budget projected surplus of $106,911.

The General Fund revenue is expected to increase by $1.8 million from the prior year. The projected increases are mainly from the continued rising value of property tax, sales tax, utility users tax, property tax in lieu of VLF, franchise tax and SB211 passthrough from the redevelopment property tax (former RDA project areas). We projected $244,000 to be transferred to the General Fund from the cannabis public benefit fees to be used to fund safety, community enhancement, as well as funding youth and community services. A small percentage is used to fund administration costs and related legal expenses.

The City’s General Fund proposed expenditures are $36,425,577, an increase of $1.8 million from the prior year. The majority of this increase is from Recreation & Community Services which reflects increases in operational costs including professional services, vendors, materials, and supplies for numerous successful special events, programs, and quality of life activities to benefit the residents, business, and the community. Public safety continues to be the priority of the City. Therefore, another major increase is for the public safety budget due to the planned filling of police officer vacancies and contractual obligations. The increases in personnel and maintenance/operation are mainly due to the COLA and CPI.

These special events and programs include but are not limited to the 4th of July Celebration, Concerts in the Park, Downtown Street Market, Posada, State of the City Address, Arbor Day Celebration, Breakfast with Santa, Spring Fest, Tree Lighting Ceremony, Christmas with the COPS, National Night Out, Trick or Treat with the COPS, Pride of the Valley 5K Run, Mental Health Awareness and Veterans Day Ceremony.

This proposed budget also includes the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant fund in the amount of $13.5M. The City continues to utilize the ARPA grant to upgrade and enhance the City’s operations
