property to the public road system: one that connects to Maine and one that connects to Pacific.
Furthermore, while the City owned the land where the two driveways were located, the City’s ownership of that land stemmed from an old condemnation action by which the City condemned the land in order to widen and extend Pacific Avenue, so the land is part of those streets.
Because the condemnation was for roadway purposes, it did not eliminate any access rights related to the Asher’s family property; instead, when the City altered the streets in the future, the Asher family’s access would have been to the streets once altered and, until then, they have the right to access across the condemned right-of-way. Thus, the Asher family has abutter’s rights in both Maine and Pacific Avenues that the City has illegally destroyed by commencing construction of the project.
Conclusion
There is no legal basis for the Planning Commission to approve the proposed Tentative Parcel Map. The City is attempting to illegally incorporate previously condemned land originally taken for intersection expansion into this park project, the City has completely disregarded its own Specific Plan, which is not consistent with the proposed Tentative Parcel Map, the City is falsely claiming that this project is categorically exempt from CEQA review, and the City has landlocked the Asher's property by unconstitutionally destroying their abutter's rights to Maine Avenue and Pacific Avenue. The City has already closed and demolished Maine Avenue, and any attempt to "vacate" the street through the adoption of a Tentative Parcel Map is a sham, a post-hoc justification that will not withstand judicial scrutiny. We agree with Staff's recommendation that the Planning Commission continue Agenda Item No. 2 to a future date. In the alternative, the Planning Commission must deny the Tentative Parcel Map (TPM 084199).

Exhibit K, Review of Prior Public Comments
EVIEW OF PRIOR PUBLIC COMMENTS
Consideration of the Proposed Tentative Parcel Map was continued from prior Planning Commission meeting dates. The Commission was provided with letters from interested parties providing comments about the Map and Project. The following summarizes and responds to some of the major issues identified in those comment letters.
ABUTTING RIGHTS
The proposed plaza incorporates land owned by the City, the City Redevelopment Successor Agency, and the School district. No land from private entities are necessary for the creation of this plaza or the approval of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map. A concern has been raised by a private property owner to the south of the proposed plaza that the project will infringe upon his rights as an abutting property owner (see Exhibit I ). The proposed southerly property boundary will incorporate a City- owned parking area to the north of the office building located at 14402 Pacific Avenue, but the project will not sever this private property from the public right of way as illustrated below. The existing southerly driveway on that property will retain street access for the property.
PAST STREET VACATION
In the 1950s, a segment of Pacific Avenue ran through the project site and connected the current Pacific Avenue with Sterling Way and then on to Ramona Boulevard. Sometime in the 1950s or 1960s this section of road was vacated and the City developed this area with public parking. The property owner of 14402 Pacific Avenue states in his letter (Exhibit I) that the City was required by law to offer to sell back the land that was taken for street purposes but allegedly was not used for that reason. Even if the property owner’s position was correct, and the City disagrees with that position, the City examined the claim made in this letter and discovered that the law cited in Exhibit E does not apply since it was passed in the 1970s, which was after the condem nation occurred.
Therefore, the City is under no obligation to offer to sell the land back to the property owner of 14402 Pacific Avenue.
CURRENT STREET VACATION
The proposed project includes a segment of Maine Street that extends from Sterling Way to Pacific Avenue. This
2 portion of the street has been closed in preparation of the development of the site since January 2023 and is currently fenced off. The owner of 14402 Pacific Avenue states in his letter (Exhibit I) that the City cannot close the street without first vacating it through a public hearing process. This is not the case. As noted in the staff report, the City intends to vacate/abandon the street as part of the Final Map, which is a lawful practice.
Impact of 2020 State Controller’s Audit
A member of the public submitted a letter to the City in February 2024 arguing that a prior audit of City finances should prevent the City from adopting the tentative map now (“February Letter”, Exhibit J)._The February Letter claims that the City must cease the construction of the Project in response to a California State Controller’s Office audit from 2020. T he State Controller’s Office investigated the authorization of approximately $500,000 in design services from La Cañada Design Group related to the Project. However, the City fully cooperated with the audit which is now complete. Notably, the services obtained from La Cañada Design Group in 2014 resulted in the creation of a “shovel-ready” project using fundamentally the same design as the instant Project. The City has also identified proper contemporary funding to proceed with this long- pending “shovel -ready” Project.
Furthermore, the decision to halt the Project in 2016 was based on the lawful decisions by the then-sitting governmental body comprising City of Baldwin Park City Council. The City Council as it is now constituted chooses to proceed with the “shovel ready” Project. The audit does not prevent the Planning Commission from adopting the tentative parcel map nor did the audit make a finding that the City previously violated the law or that it could not proceed with the project.
Compliance with City’s General Plan and Downtown Specific Plan
The February Letter claims that the Project violates Government Code §66474(a) because it does not depict and is therefore allegedly inconsistent with City’s General Plan and 2022 Downtown Specific Plan. The Project is consistent with the General Plan, which seeks to utilize open spaces for the development of new parks and recreational facilities. (City of Baldwin Park 2020 General Plan - Open Space and Conservation Element, Goal
1.0; Policy 1.2) Additionally, Policies and Actions for achieving the 2022 Specific Plan goals are consistent and compatible with the development of the Project. Notably, project consistency is supported by the 2022 Downtown Specific Plan’s objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs in the following ways:
Policy –
P1.1: “ Expand and maintain an enhanced, interconnected system of public parks, trails and open space in Downtown area.”
Actions –
• A1.1a: “ Introduce additional public spaces, such as promenade, neighborhood and pocket parks, plazas, and parklets on public land.”
• A 1.1b: “ Enhance and connect public parks, open spaces and trails serving residents and visitors, connecting existing parks and the other Downtown assets through paseos, promenades, trails, and enhanced sidewalks.”
• A 1.1e: “Allow parklets on streets to provide visual interest and expand the useable area of the sidewalk.”
Policy –
P1.6: “Expand the inventory of publicly accessible community gathering spaces so that businesses and residents are within a short walking distance of a park or recreational area.” Actions –
3 • A1.6b: “Allow parklets on streets to provide visual interest and expand the useable area of the sidewalk.”
Policy –
P2.13: “Expand places and spaces where community events and festivals can occur.” • Actions – A2.13a: “Develop the Promenade and Paseos and various parks and open spaces in the Downtown area.”
Policy –
P3.8: “Create well-designed spaces for a high-quality user experience for all modes.” Actions –
• A3.8a: “Provide streetscapes and public realms that provide safe and convenient routes for walking and biking.”
• A 3.8d: “ Reduce block lengths for shorter walking and biking distances.” • A3.8e: “Provide a diverse mix of uses that includes housing, employment, retail, and public spaces to create a vibrant urban environment
• A 3.8f: “ Incorporate pedestrian and bicycle safety into plans, programs, and designs.” • A3.8g: “ Incorporate designs that remove barriers to pedestrians, bicyclists, and persons with mobility limitation, connecting sidewalks to bus stops and pathways that do not require passing through parking areas or driveways.”
The Policies and Actions identified within the 2022 Downtown Specific Plan are consistent with the Project in several specific ways. For example, the 2022 Downtown Specific Plan calls for the expansion of public parks and open space in the Downtown area. (2022 Downtown Specific Plan, Policy 1.1) The Policy is furthered by introducing additional public spaces and plazas on public land. (Action 1.1a.) The Policy is further complimented by Actions calling for the enhancement of open spaces connecting downtown assets through open spaces and enhanced sidewalks Project (Action 1.1b), and by allowing parklets on streets to provide visual interest and expand the useable area of sidewalks. (Action 1.1e). As noted above, the Project is consistent with the 2022 Downtown Specific Plan in other key aspects, including based on the policy of expanding publicly accessible community gathering spaces (Policy 1.6), expanding places where community events and festivals can occur (Policy 2.13), and well -designed spaces for all modes of accessibility (Policy 3.8.) As noted in the February Letter, t he 2022 Downtown Specific Plan also specifies the development of a “Renewed Civic Park” and contemplates th e development of Public Open Spaces as part of a goal in creating a dynamic downtown.
Moreover, the 2016 Downtown Specific Plan specifically called for the construction of the community park.
The General Plan and the 2022 Downtown Specific Plan are also mutually consistent. (2022 Downtown Specific Plan at p. 23.) Although the Letter claims that Maine Avenue is part of the Downtown “Core”, the 2022 Downtown Specific Plan more precisely identifies the “Core” at a section of Maine Avenue different from where the Claimants’ businesses are located. ( Id. at p. 34. [“The Downtown Core is the intersection of Ramona Boulevard and Maine Avenue…”]) The Project is, therefore, not inconsistent with 2022 Downtown Specific Plan. G reat deference is accorded to a local governmental agency’s determination of consistency. ( Save Our Peninsula v. Monterey County Board of Supervisors (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 99, 142.) A project must be consistent with the specific plan and is consistent if, in all its aspects, the project furthers the objectives of the plan and does not obstruct its attainment. ( Sierra Club v. County of Napa (2004) 121 Cal.App.4th 1490, 1509.) (Save Our Peninsula v. Monterey County Board of Supervisors (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 99, 142. As demonstrated above, substantial evidence supports a finding that that the Project harmonizes, is in agreement, and is consistent with the 2022 Downtown Specific Plan’s goals and policies.
4 Compliance with 2016 Downtown Transit-Oriented Development Specific Plan
The February Letter claims that the Project is in consistent with the February 2016 Downtown Transit -Oriented Development Specific Plan. The February 2016 Specific Plan clearly identifies the development of a civic park “[a]cross Maine Avenue with direct links and views to City Hall will allow City Hall to be better connected, both physically and visually, to the surrounding Downtown area.” (2016 Downtown Specific Plan, pp. 27- 28.) The civic park described also contemplated that the “[p]ortion of Maine Avenue between Sterling Way and Pacific Avenue could be closed, either fully or partially (one lane only). This may, however, cause impacts to vehicular circulation and will need to be studied further before the design is finalized.” ( Ibid.) The Letter claims that the City did not follow through with studying vehicle circulation prior to breaking ground on the Park project.
However, records from the October 27, 2015 City Council meeting related to the 2016 Specific Plan’s FEIR refute this claim and show that mitigation measure TRAF-2 was assessed as part of the traffic study therein.
Attachment #12
Exhibit L, Review of Appellant’s Arguments
REVIEW OF CERTAIN ARGUMENTS RAISED BY APPELLANT
In addition to challenging the required findings for adoption of the tentative parcel map, Appellant raises other arguments that do not directly address the necessary findings. The City provides it response to those arguments in this Exhibit.
RESPONSE TO ABUTTER’S RIGHTS
The proposed plaza incorporates land owned by the City and the City Redevelopment Successor Agency. No land from private entities are necessary for the creation of this plaza or the approval of the proposed Tentative Parcel Map. A concern has been raised by the Appellant who is a private property owner to the south of the proposed plaza that the project will infringe upon his rights as an abutting property owner (see Exhibit I). The proposed southerly property boundary will incorporate a City-owned parking area to the north of the office building located at 14402 Pacific Avenue, but the project will not sever this private property from the public right of way as illustrated below. The existing southerly driveway on that property will retain street access for the property.
The Appellant claims it has abutter’s rights to Maine and Pacific Avenues. The City disagrees.
Appellant’s property did not front any public street. It was other public property that fronted the public street. In order to have abutter’s rights, Appellant’s property must directly abut a public street and here it did not. Additionally, the highly edited images of documents submitted by Appellant do not conclusively show that it has abutter’s rights. For example, the phrase highlighted form the 1928 judgment does not say anything one way or the other on if abutter’s rights were extinguished.
Moreover, even if Appellant had abutter’s rights, the City is not taking those rights. To the extent Appellant feels it’s abutter’s rights have been unreasonably and substantially impaired, Appellant’s recourse is to file a claim for inverse condemnation which it h as done. Whether Appellant has abutter’s rights and if they have been harmed is a legal issue for the court to determine.
RESPONSE TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 65402 COMPLIANCE
Appellant claims that the City has violated Government Code section 65402 because it allegedly vacated the street without complying with the statutory requirements. This is incorrect. This process that the City is going through now is the vary required process to proceed with a stree t vacation. Whether a street has been vacated or abandoned is a legal act that requires Council action. Staff cannot vacate or abandon a street on their own. Furthermore, there is not statutory requirement specifying a time for the street vacation to occur. The process the City has started to vacate the street through the adoption of this parcel map is the process required to vacate the street.
RESPONSE TO CEQA ARGUMENT
Appellant raises three CEQA claims in its appeal regarding the Tentative Parcel Map:
1. Appellant claims the City failed to prepare an environmental impact report for the Tentative Parcel Map.
Once an EIR has been certified, “CEQA prohibits the agency from preparing further EIRs” unless substantial project changes require major revisions to the EIR, or new information reveals a new significant impact, substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified significant impact, or a mitigation measure or alternative that the project proponent declines to adopt. (Committee for Re-Evaluation of the T -Line Loop v. San Francisco Mun. Transp. Agency (2016) 6 Cal.App.5th 1237, 1246, citing to PRC, § 21166, emphasis added; see also CEQA Guidelines, § 15162, subd. (a).)
As stated in the attached Staff Report , the Tentative Parcel Map falls within the scope of the certified 2016 TOD Downtown Specific Plan EIR (State Clearinghouse No. 2014121098) and the adopted Addendum because the Zocalo Civic Plaza Park (also referred to as the Arts Park or Civic Park) was analyzed in these environmental documents. (See, e.g., 2016 TOD Downtown Specific Plan Draft EIR, p. 2 -11, 2-15; Addendum, p. 4.) Therefore, no further environmental review is required because none of the conditions in Public Resources Code Section 21166 and/or State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 is triggered by the approval of the Tentative Parcel Map. Based on this finding, the City was not required to prepare an environmental impact report for the Tentative Parcel Map.
2. Appellant claims that the Zocalo Park & Civic Center Plaza Project was approved Before CEQA review was completed.
This was not the case and the appeal letter conflates the timeline of events. Since the Zocalo Park & Civic Center Plaza Project was specifically contemplated in the 2016 Downtown Specific Plan and was analyzed in the 2016 Downtown Specific Plan EIR and 2022 Addendum, the certification of this EIR and Addendum and the approval of the Downtown Specific Plan also constituted approval of this project. As often is the case with projects such as this Specific Plan, which is a planning document that contemplates future development, lead agencies need to take several further discretionary approvals after the initial approval in order to implement the project (here, the Specific Plan). The approval of the design contract in February 2022 did not change any aspect of the Specific Plan or the Zocalo Park & Civic Center Plaza Project. Instead, taking action on this design contract was simply the next, incremental, discretionary step the City took in order to implement the approved Specific Plan. Therefore, approval of the design contract in February 2022 merely constituted furtherance of the already approved Zocalo Park & Civic Center Plaza Project pursuant to the 2016 Downtown Specific Plan EIR and 2022 Addendum.
3. Appellant claims that the permanent closure of Maine Avenue violates the mitigation measure, TRAF-2, found in both the 2016 Downtown Specific Plan EIR and 2022 Addendum.
According to the 2016 Downtown Specific Plan EIR and 2022 Addendum’s Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program, TRAF -2 states: “Intersection No. 1: Convert Maine Avenue between Pacific Avenue and Sterling Way to a one way (westbound) only roadway. This shall be achieved by the relocating of Maine Avenue to be located along the rear of the commercial uses fronting on Ramona Boulevard between P acific Avenue and Sterling Way.” Per TRAF -2, the City’s Planning and Engineering Departments were to “evaluate i ntersections LOS and other traffic issues prior to approval of projects that would affect this intersection and roadway areas . . . when needed due to traffic volumes.”
Appellant’s claim is unfounded. No portion of Maine Avenue will be closed. Rather, as stated in mitigation measure TRAF-2, Maine Avenue will be relocated to an alley way along the rear of the commercial uses fronting on Ramona Boulevard. A driver will be able to enter the alley from Maine Avenue and drive all the way across to exit onto Pacific Avenue. Further, a traffic study was completed in August 2023 to analyze the impacts of this relocation. The traffic study found that the tentative parcel Map would not have new significant traffic and parking impacts outside the purview of the 2016 Downtown Specific Plan and 2022 Addendum.
Therefore, the City is in compliance with mitigation measure TRAF-2.

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 services.
The project has been designed to provide all the necessary utilities to each lot proposed to be created, including, but not limited to, facilities for water, natural gas, electricity, cable television and telecommunications service. 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 County Water District is the purveyor in the area and water would be provided to the subject property by Valley County Water District.
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.
Resolution 2024-13
May 15, 2024
4. An adequate storm water drainage system designed and constructed to serve each lot proposed to be created.
The Public Works Department have designed the site to include the construction of storm drains to address stormwater in the area.
5. An adequate public and/or private street and/or alley system designed and constructed to serve each lot proposed to be created.
The site will be served by Sterling Way and Maine Avenue to the west and Pacific Avenue to the east. A drive aisle with parking will be created on the north side of the parking area between Sterling Way and Pacific Avenue to allow for one- way vehicular access from the west.
A traffic study was prepared on August 18, 2022 date by the City to examine the potential impact to vehicular traffic associated with the closing of the segment on Maine Avenue between Sterling Way and Pacific Avenue (see Exhibit E). The report concluded that no significant impacts to the surrounding areas would occur with the closing of this segment of road.
6. An adequate traffic regulatory system, including necessary traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings and striping.
The Project scope entails the closure of a portion of Maine Avenue and minor adjustments to the roads connecting to the Project site will be necessary to create a seamless transition. A new one- way alley will be created along the northern edge of the Project and this alley will be complete with new traffic signs, striping and pavement markings.
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.
The proposed Tentative Parcel Map is consistent with the City’s codes and will receive adequate utility service when built as designed.
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 Resolution 2024-13
May 15, 2024
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, including, setbacks, density, and height.
Additionally the tentative 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 parcels meet the existing development standards contained in the Code.
10. The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
The project is also consistent with the City’s General Plan. The designated land use for the site is Mixed-Use and the proposed open space use of the site is allowed by-right for lots with this land use designation. Furthermore, the project is consistent the policies in the General Plan to create pedestrian spaces in the downtown that connect to the City Hall courtyard and have the potential to support businesses that support pedestrianism such as outdoor cafes and flower shops.
The design of the civic plaza is in accordance with the 2016 Specific Plan, which is the Specific Plan that was in place at the time of the project’s approval. The land use, circulation surrounding the site, improvements to the site are all in compliance with that plan. The proposed use is civic plaza, which is an open space use that was contemplated by the 2016 Specific Plan. The Specific Plan called for new open space areas within the downtown area to improve pedestrian activity and improve destination appeal. The proposed circulation is consistent with the 2016 Specific Plan.
There will be an alley and site parking at the northern edge of the site to support vehicle access. Parking and traffic were analyzed in 2022 by a parking and traffic consultant and the project was determined to have no adverse impacts on traffic and parking (Exhibit E).
The improvement of the proposed subdivision is also in compliance with the 2022 Downtown Specific Plan. The improvements consist of a civic plaza with accessory retail food businesses and these improvements are permitted land uses within the Downtown Core area of the specific plan.
Resolution 2024-13
May 15, 2024
Furthermore, the improvements are consistent with the Plan’s policies to expand pedestrian-oriented parks and gathering spaces in the downtown area. Specifically, the subdivision is consistent with the Specific Plan’s Policy 1.1 to “ Expand and maintain an enhanced, interconnected system of public parks, trails and open space in Downtown area”, Policy 1.6 to “Expand the inventory of publicly accessible community gathering spaces so that businesses and residents are within a short walking distance of a park or recreational area”, Policy 2.13 to “Expand places and spaces where community events and festivals can occur”, and Policy 3.8 to “Create well - designed spaces for a high-quality user experience for all modes”.
11. The site is physically suitable for the type of development.
The site has a flat topography that lends itself to development in general and could support a civic plaza use. Also, it is not located in a flood hazard or high fire zone. Lastly, there is ample access to the site given that it is accessible from Pacific Avenue to the east, Sterling Way to the west, and Maine Avenue to the south.
12. The design of the proposed subdivision or the proposed improvements are unlikely to cause substantial damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife of their habitat.
The site is a fully urbanized area that is almost entirely paved. It is not a location that provides habitat for fish or wildlife and therefore development of the site for a civic plaza could not harm fish or wildlife habitat.
13. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements are unlikely to cause serious public health problems.
The site is currently developed with parking lots and street right of way, both of which facilitate automotive vehicle traffic. The subdivision supports the development of the site as a civic plaza, which facilitates public gathering for pedestrians. The proposed use is aligned with the 2016 Specific Plan and General Plan goals of providing more opportunities within the City for residents for exercise and recreation. Therefore, the proposed use is more likely to promote public health and is not likely to cause public health problems.
14. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to the ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall only apply to easements of record or to easements Resolution 2024-13
May 15, 2024
established by judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.
There are no existing easements in the project area that were acquired by the public at large that would be adversely affected by this project. A portion of City right-of-way will be closed for the creation of the plaza, but vehicular access between Sterling Way and Pacific Avenue will continue via the alley connection at the northern edge of the project site. Furthermore, the traffic study undertaken in 2022 (Exhibit E) determined that the closure of the right-of-way necessary for the development of the site for a civic plaza would not have an adverse effect on traffic and circulation for the area. It should also be mentioned that there are no existing private lots adjacent to the Project that will lose access to the street as result of this subdivision.
15. Discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into an existing community sewer system would result in a violation of existing requirements prescribed by a California regional water quality control board pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code.
Sewer waste discharge from the project site will be in accordance with City, State, and Sanitation District regulations. The small commercial building will have indoor plumbing fixtures that will contribute a minimal amount to the City’s overall sewage waste stream, but this contribution will not be in violation of the existing requirements.
SECTION 4. 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 84199, dated March 27, 2024; and
(b) If within two (2) years after the date of approval of TPM 84199, all conditions of approval have not been satisfied, then TPM 84199 shall become null and void; and
(c) Recordation of Final Parcel Map with the Los Angeles County Reorder shall be required prior to issuance of building permits.
(d) The Final Map shall be submitted to Los Angeles County Fire Department for review and approval prior to recordation.
SECTION 5. Pursuant to the foregoing recitations and findings, the City Council denies the appeal and upholds the Planning Commission decision to approve a Tentative Resolution 2024-13
May 15, 2024
Parcel Map to consolidate five (5) lots, vacated street right -of-way, and a city parking lot into one (1) 92,680 square foot lot (TPM 84199).
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall Certify to the passage of the adoption of this resolution and enter it into the book of original resolutions.
SECTION 7. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption.
SECTION 8 . The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and hereafter the same shall be in full force and effect.

DISCUSSION
The relationship between pets and pet-owners has strengthen over the years, with pets now becoming an integral member of families.
The City has provided animal care and control services to the residents through a contract with the County Department of Animal Control (DACC) for many decades, as a safety net service for the City and its residents,
when a pet becomes astray from its pet owners, or there are other issues that cause for the pet to be placed in the care of DACC.
The net cost of the contract has seen a pronounced increase annually in the last three years starting in Fiscal Year 20/21 when DACC and the County commissioned an actuarial of the actual cost of providing the services to their client cities. They made the determination that the County was subsidizing the service with their own funds, and subsequently built in an escalation to achieve full cost recovery over five years, with an incremental increase in cost from year to year, which is why we are seeing the steep rise in cost over the last three years.
When DACC informed cities, including Baldwin Park, of their full cost recovery plan and the associated increase in annual cost for the next five years, there were efforts by groups of cities to find alternative to DACC to provide the same service, including the formation of a regional joint powers authority that would take over the service.
In 2023, the City Council directed staff to explore alternatives that would be more economical, while also trying to renegotiate with DACC to lower the cost. DACC w as not in a position to renegotiate any of the cost terms a s purportedly they have no discretion to do so; however, they have offered us some services enhancements like, two (2) Vet @ The Park events which have been hugely successful with a high participation by city residents.
And while staff has not yet found a viable alternative to DACC, the contract does provide with annual offramps to terminate the contract should we ascertain a viable alternative. Staff will continue to explore options.
BACKGROUND
The City of Baldwin Park has received animal services through the Los Angeles County DACC for decades.
Although the Los Angeles County DACC changed its billing methodology in 2018, the City of Baldwin Park entered into a 5-year service agreement in 2019. T he current contract expires on June 30, 2024. Because of the increasing annual impact on the city’s budget, staff has researched other possible providers for this service but have found none that are willing to take on additional cities at this time. The County has presented the attached contract renewal for Council review. The proposed contract allows the City to terminate the agreement as of the first day of July of any year, provided that written notice is given to the County at least sixty (60) days before the termination date.
ALTERNATIVES
None recommended at this time.
LEGAL REVIEW
The proposed contract has been reviewed by the City Attorney as to form and content.

DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
I. Animal Care Services
The County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control (Department) maintains seven animal care centers that accept stray, lost, abandoned, and relinquished animals. The Department also receives and maintains animals that are victims of abuse or neglect, under a quarantine order, or that pose a risk to the public. Stray or lost animals are held for an initial period to give an owner the opportunity to reclaim them. Owner- relinquished animals are held for an initial period prior to euthanasia or adoption to a new home, pursuant to State law. The holding period may vary and may be extended in an attempt to reunite the animal with an identified owner or for other reasons.
The Department is dedicated to providing appropriate and safe housing to all animals accepted into the Department’s care. The Department is required by law to provide a safe environment with proper food, water, shelter, opportunity for exercise, and medical care for the animals it houses. Medical care may be provided by Department staff or, at the Department’s sole discretion, outsourced to a contracted veterinarian.
As requested by the City in Attachment B, Service Level Request, the Department will provide the City with either: Full Care Center Services; Animal Care for Transfer only; or No Care Center Services.
A. Full Care Center Services
All animals collected in the field within the boundaries of the City or determined to have originated from within the boundaries of the City may be housed at a County animal care center. Admitted animals will be vaccinated and provided medical care, food, water, and shelter. The Department may post an animal’s picture on the Department’s website to assist residents in reclaiming a lost or missing pet or find ing a new one . Residents may also visit the associated animal care center to find their lost or missing pet. The hours of operation of each animal care center may be found on the Department's website.
The Department will make reasonable attempts to house animals from the City at the animal care center closest to the City. The nearest animal care center to the City will be designated as the primary animal care center. There may be circumstances in which the Department will house animals collected from the City at an alternate location.
Full Animal Care Center services include:
• Providing food, water, shelter, enrichment, and medical care for animals in the Department’s care;
• Holding stray animals and attempting to reunite them with their owners; • Accepting unwanted animals surrendered by their owners; • Making best efforts to find new adoptive homes for domestic animals and livestock;

ill or injured to the extent that transportation would cause further injury o r suffering.
The Department will not provide transportation from the field or from a County animal care center to any alternate animal care location, except as necessary for the needs of the County. If necessary, the Department may transport an animal(s) to an alternative animal care location of the City’s choice and the City will be responsible for the cost of such transport at the current billing rate for field service staff.
The City will be responsible for all costs for the admission, care, and housing at the Department's animal care center, as well as the subsequent costs of care and housing at any animal care facility of the City's choice. The City's designated animal care center location is listed in Attachment B, Service Level Request.
II. Field Services
The County will provide the services set forth below in accordance with the provisions of the Los Angeles County Code, Title 10, “Animals,” and all future amendments, except as otherwise agreed to by the Parties in Attachment B, Service Level Request.

As a result of these efforts, the number of dogs and cats admitted into Department animal care centers has decreased dramatically due to the Department reducing preventable pet surrenders. These programs are only available to cities that opt into Full Care Center Services and are charged at a flat per capita rate as indicated in Attachment C, City - County Municipal Services Billing Rates.
Managed Intake
Managed Intake (MI) is a strategy that allows agencies to manage and reduce the flow of both owned pets and homeless animals into their care, which is accomplished by partnering with the community and providing resources and solutions. Through the Department’s intervention services, pet owners receive support in the form of consultation, financial resources, and referrals — both medical and behavioral — to assist them with their pet -related issues. MI has reduced the number of surrendered animals admitted to the Department’s care centers to those who have no other opportunity for rehoming. This is reducing the costs for cities that are associated with sheltering cats and dogs.
Components of Managed Intake:
• Community Engagement is key to successfully employing Managed Intake, giving the community an opportunity to foster, network animals, facilitate adoptions, and to develop solutions to keep pets with their owners.
• The Department encourages people who have found stray animals to attempt to reunite the pets with their families. The Department also encourages residents to
allow free roaming cats to remain where they live, as these are often pets or community cats.
• To reduce the relinquishment of owned pets, the Department will provide resources such as training, food, and supplies, or other support to help keep pets in their homes.
• Public safety and animal welfare are a priority. Animals that pose a safety threat will immediately and safely be admitted by the Department, as will animals that are sick or injured.
IV. Individual Animal Licensing Services
Adult dogs four months of age and older are required by State law to have individual licenses. The City may request that the Department enforce licensing requirements in the City for dogs, cats, or other animals as described in Attachment B. The City may adopt the County’s fees for individual animal licenses or set its own fees as permitted in Attachment B.
License renewal notices are mailed or transmitted by the Department to the animal owner of record. The renewal and payment are received and processed on a fee -per-license basis. Pet owners may opt into a one - or three-year license option for their pet s. A current license will be required before an animal will be released to a resident of the City.
Fees from one- and three-year licenses collected will be credited to the City monthly in arrears.
The Department’s animal licensing services include:
• Issuing animal licenses for pets as requested by the City; • Processing license applications, payments, and information changes; • Issuing license renewal notices;
• Assessing and collecting fees, penalties, and other financial remittances; • Maintaining a database for animal licensing, records of calls for service, and actions taken; and
• Maintaining the Rabies Vaccination Certificate tool database which scans rabies vaccination data reported by private veterinary clinics to identify unlicensed pets in our jurisdictions and generate compliance notices to pet owners.
V. Additional Outreach and Enforcement Services Options
The City may request that the Department provide additional services as outlined below.
A. Animal License Enforcement Services
License Enforcement Services provides staff to perform individual animal license
enforcement in designated areas within the City. This program includes:
• Issuing new licenses and renewing expired licenses;
• Issuing citations to violators of animal licensing ordinances; • Collecting license revenue, delinquency charges, and authorized fees; and • Recording licensing data in the Department's database.
B. Animal Facility Licensing
The Department's Animal Facility Licensing program provides staff to perform animal facility inspections and licensing to animal-related businesses or organizations that require a license under Title 10 of the County Code. Animal-related facilities are inspected annually to ensure the safety and well-being of the animals as well as the health and safety of the public. Licensees are provided a letter grade based on the results of the inspection.
The Department retains facility license fees to offset the cost of annual inspections and related administrative costs. Staff time for licensing and inspections is not billed to the City. Investigations in response to complaints about activities at a licensed location are conducted by field officers based in the Department's animal care centers and are billed in accordance with Attachment C, City -County Municipal Services Billing Rates.
This program includes:
• Annual inspection of any premise used by an animal-related business or non- profit organization, including grooming shops, pet shops, boarding facilities or breeding facilities, animal menageries, and all other places where animals are maintained for profit or business activities;
• Issuing grades to animal facilities consistent with the requirements of Section
10.28.270 of the County Code;
• Follow-up inspections of animal facilities as necessary; • Collection of license fees to offset the cost of services; and • Documentation and maintenance of records as necessary.
C. Vaccination and Microchip Clinics
California Health and Safety Code Section 121690(f) states that every city and county, "shall provide dog vaccination clinics, or arrange for dog vaccination at clinics." The Department holds periodic low-cost rabies vaccination and micr ochip clinics at its animal care centers. If the City chooses additional rabies vaccination and microchip clinics, the following services are offered:
• Providing or assisting in arranging for low-cost vaccinations and microchips; • Staffing low-cost vaccination and microchip clinics with medical personnel and necessary support staff, subject to availability;
• Licensing animals vaccinated at the clinic; and
• Assisting jurisdictions in promoting these community-based clinics.
D. Spay/Neuter Trust Fund
The City may elect to contribute $5.00 per altered and unaltered dog license to the Spay/Neuter Trust Fund. Participation in the Spay/Neuter Trust Fund allows the Department to offer a low -cost or free spay/neuter program for the City’s residents who wish to have their pets spayed or neutered. The Department staff will work with animal care center veterinary clinics and mobile veterinary clinics to assist qualified residents in obtaining spay/neuter services in an area near them.
VI. Records
Upon reasonable notice, the Department will make available to authorized representatives of the City, for examination, audit, excerpt, copy, or transcription, any pertinent transaction, activity, or other record relating to the Agreement. The City must ensure such records are handled in a manner consistent with all applicable privacy laws and all laws related to the Public Records Act (Government Code sections 7920.000 et. seq.).
