LWC will also prepare a preliminary style guide focusing on page layout, cross references, terminology, fonts, graphics, charts, maps, etc. to create a Zoning Code that is clear and easy to use. LWC will prepare a final table of contents and style guide based on comments provided by City staff.

D.4 Administrative Draft Zoning Code
D.4.1 Zoning Districts. LWC will update existing zoning districts and overlay districts based on the Recommendations Report and input from public engagement efforts and City staff. LWC will prepare Administrative Draft Zoning Districts and Overlays for City staff review.

D.4.2 Use Regulations. LWC will update existing use regulations based on the Recommendations Report and input from public engagement efforts and City staff. Use regulations are anticipated to consist of the following:
 Land Use Definitions. A complete set of definitions of land uses regulated by the Zoning Code. Land uses should be defined through a clearly articulated modern use classification system that reflects contemporary land uses and groups them based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics. Use groups should be broad enough to allow the classification of new, unanticipated uses.
 Zoning District Use Regulations. Land use regulations by zoning district, clearly indicating which uses are permitted and what type of approval is required. Permitted land uses should be consistent with the corresponding General Plan land use designation and adaptable to contemporary trends in land use.

Staff Report

TO: City Council
FROM: Christina Taylor, Deputy City Manager
DATE November 21, 2023
SUBJECT: Discussion and Direction on a Proposed Downtown Events Funding Policy

Description Adopt an objective process for evaluating requests for funding support for events in the downtown. Strategic Plan Target #5 – Quality of Life/Well-Being, Priority Level 2, Goal #5 Increase community events, arts and culture.

Background and Analysis:

In March 2023, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-03, which established user fees for certain specified services. The new fee schedule went into effect on July 1 st and included the categories of Special Event – Major, which has a deposit-based fee of $5,000 and Special Event – Minor, which has a deposit of $500. The deposits are based on the Cost Allocation Plan and are applied to fully allocated hourly rates of staff and any outside costs associated with processing the application. Prior to adoption of the fee schedule, these applications were processed at no charge to the applicant.

At the November 7, 2023, meeting City Council adopted a Special Event Permit Application Fee Waiver Policy. This policy allows consideration of fee waivers for the deposit associated with special events anywhere in the City.

The proposed Downtown Events Funding Policy (Attachment A) is specific to events in the downtown district (Attachment B) and is based on budget allocation in each fiscal year. As part of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 budget, City Council allocated $50,000 to help facilitate events in the City’s downtown.

The proposed policy addresses the following:
 Purpose: Set guidelines and criteria for support
 Goals and Objectives: Ensure events are in alignment with the City’s goals and objectives
 General Requirements and Evaluation Criteria: Establishes objective criteria for evaluation
 Eligible and Ineligible: Identifies specific allowable uses and uses which would not be considered for funding

Page 377 of 457 ends

 Policy and Procedures: Lays out the process for approval or denial of a request

Planning and Economic Development staff will monitor the budget line item for this program. Staff will provide a report to Council annually, detailing fund usage. If funds are expended before the end of the fiscal year, staff will report back to Council at that time.

Fiscal Impact:

The cost to prepare this staff report is approximately $250. There is $50,000 in available funding to implement this policy.

Recommended Action:

Hold discussion and adopt the Downtown Events Funding Policy.

Purpose
The purpose of this funding policy is to set forth guidelines and criteria governing the granting of City of Beaumont funds or in-kind services for the purpose of supporting local festivals, special events, community projects or programs, and cultural events within the City’s Downtown.

The City reserves the right to decline any request for community event funding if deemed not to be in the best interest of the City, or if acceptance would create a conflict of interest for the City.

Policy and Procedures
The Community Development Department recognizes the value of working with and supporting organizations to promote the City’s downtown. Charging fees for service is a standard practice when individuals, private groups, government or non-profit groups wish to process requests to hold events. Fees charged for applications, staff time or materials help cover the cost of providing such services.

This policy is established for determining when allocation of City funds may be used to cover applicable costs (e.g., application deposit, staff time, materials) established by the City of Beaumont’s adopted Fee Schedule.

The policy is effective to the extent a funding request can be considered without negatively impacting the City’s budget or current operations.

Submit a written request for funding support with the Special Event Permit Application with all other required materials to the Planning Department.

If the request involves approval from other City departments, the request will be forwarded as part of the review process.

Fee waiver requests will be assessed by the Community Development Department and City Manager’s Office, based on the requirements in this policy.

Upon review, the City Manager or his or her designee, will make a recommendation to the City Council for final approval or denial.

The Community Development Department will notify the applicant in writing of the final decision.

Upon Council approval of a funding request, funds will be reimbursed within thirty days of submittal of expenditure receipts to the Community Development Department.

Within forty-five (45) days of completion of the event for which funding support was given, the organization should provide a written report to the Community

2. Organizations that fail to cancel the approved event less than 30 days before their scheduled event and/or that fail to abide by this policy may forfeit their ability to request future fee reductions or waivers or enter into partnerships with the City for the following twelve (12) months.

Staff Report

TO: City Council
FROM: Kyle Warsinski, Economic Development Manager
DATE November 21, 2023
SUBJECT: Funding Agreement and Resolution Approving a Purchase and Sale Agreement – 516 California Avenue

Description Consideration of a Funding Agreement with Riverside County and a Resolution Approving a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the property located at 516 California Avenue (APN 418-091-012).

Background and Analysis:

On July 2, 2019, City Council approved Beaumont’s first Economic Development Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan was created with input from numerous community stakeholders, City staff and the City Council. The plan included a mission statement and eight main goals.

The City of Beaumont strives to create a balanced, sustainable and diverse economic environment by leveraging existing local business, recruiting targeted industries, and encouraging outside investment, that will enhance Beaumont’s quality of life and support community values.

1. Develop an economically balanced community,

2. Recruit new business, while retaining and expanding local business, that promote growth of primary jobs and/or sales tax revenue,

3. Develop an online Economic Development presence to provide business owners and site selectors resources they need,

4. Create a quality of place that establishes Beaumont as a community to build and grow a business, as well as attract and retain talent,

5. Connect with and assist local small business start-ups and entrepreneurs,

6. Ongoing review of development review processes and identify streamlining and efficiency techniques,

7. Work with regional workforce development partners to provide needed resources to the area and begin to develop a retraining program for positions u nder threat of automation, and

8. Leverage the City’s strengths to maximize business opportunities.

Page 386 of 457 ends

The plan included major strategy areas designed to accomplish these goals. Since the adoption of the EDSP staff has spent time investigating existing entrepreneurial and workforce development programs and facilities throughout Riverside County. Many jurisdictions have created their own incubator and/or accelerator facilities, many of which are focused on specific industries (tech startups, geonomics, etc.), while others function to aid and support any start-up business regardless of industry. Workforce programs and services are prevalent within Riverside County, but are lacking locations within the Pass area, with the nearest locations either in Hemet or Riverside.

The City developed relationships and partnerships with many workforce and business development resource partners throughout the Inland Empire. These include Riverside County workforce development, the Inland Empire Small Business Development Center, and the California Employment Development Department. Staff has also worked with Mount San Jacinto Community College (MSJC) on various programs to provide resources to residents and potential students in the Pass area.

MSJC operates a satellite campus in the city of Banning, which was slated to become the home of the college’s Enterprise Resource and Innovation Center (ERIC). Growing needs on the Banning campus have made it difficult for the ERIC to find adequate space. MSJC contacted the City to discuss partnering on a business resource center for the San Gorgonio Pass area and future home of the ERIC. Beaumont’s centralized location within the Pass area was determined to be ideal to fulfill the ne eds of the community.

City staff and MSJC contacted our other workforce and business development partners to gauge interest in partnering on the facility to provide local resources to residents and business owners within the Pass area. All parties contacted expressed interest in offering services in the resource center.

Funding Agreement

The Riverside County Office of Economic Development learned of the project and is proposing to support the resource center with funding to assist the City in acquiring a facility primarily for housing the Pass Area Business Resource Center. The attached Funding Agreement (Attachment A) would provide the City with $1,700,000 to be used for property acquisition costs for the resource center. The agreement requires the City of Beaumont, and its partners, to operate the facility for a minimum of five (5) years. If approved by City Council, the funding agreement will be presented to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors for approval at their December 5, 2023, meeting.

Page 387 of 457 ends

Pass Area Business Resource Center

The Resource center will be the home of the MSJC ERIC. The ERIC will provide facilities and operation staff to provide workshops, educational forums, and related business development activities. The facility will become home to 4-5 entrepreneurial startup businesses who will derive access to shared resources, counseling, and networking opportunities. MSJC has pledged to install a makerspace lab to promote entrepreneurial concepts and prototypes, with fu rther support from the full makerspace at the San Jacinto campus. The ERIC also will facilitate career counseling information sessions and workshops.

In addition to MSJC, the City of Beaumont has received commitments to operate from Riverside County Workforce Development, the IE Small Business Development Center, and the California Employment Development Department. The City is working with a handful of other organizations who have expressed interest in operating within the business resource center.

Purchase and Sale Agreement - 516 California Avenue

The City intends to purchase the property located at 516 California Avenue (APN 41 8- 091-012) from PRROPERTIES LLC. The subject site contains a 7,296 square foot two- story, Class B office made up of 19 executive suites and an 880 square foot garage/storage space. The site is 0.28 acres which houses the two-story building and 18 parking spaces.

Page 388 of 457 ends

The attached Purchase and Sale Agreement (Attachment B) specifies the terms of the acquisition. Some of the main deal points are as follows:

 Purchase Price: $1,700,000,
 Escrow deposit of $50,000 (to be applied to the purchase price),  Buyer to pay all closing costs: Estimated $150,000,
 Thirty (30) day inspection/due diligence period,
 The City may terminate agreement for any reason within the 30-day period, including unsatisfactory building inspection report or if Riverside County fails to approve the funding agreement. If the agreement is terminated within the 30-day period, the $50,000 deposit will be refunded to the City.

In addition to the costs contained within the Purchase and Sale agreement, the acquisition of the property may require the City to provide relocation assistance to existing tenants within the building. Staff estimates the relocation assistance cost to be $338,000.

On October 11, 2023, the Beaumont Planning Commission determined the property is in conformance with the Beaumont General Plan land use designation of Downtown Mixed Use pursuant to Government Code Section 65402.

Fiscal Impact:

The total not to exceed cost for the acquisition is $2,188,000, which will be paid out of Capital Improvement Project No. CD-03. If the funding agreement with the County is approved, the out-of-pocket expenses for the City could total a maximum of $488,000.

In the event the funding agreement is not approved, the City will terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement with the seller.

The cost to prepare the staff report totals $1,200 for staff and legal fees.

Recommended Action:

Approve the Funding Agreement with Riverside County,
Waive the full reading and adopt by title only, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Beaumont, California, Approving the Acquisition of Real Property”, and Approve the Purchase and Sale Agreement by and between the City of Beaumont a nd PRROPERTIES LLC. and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.

C. Violation; liability for unpaid wages; liquidated damages: In the event of any violation of the provisions of paragraph B of this section, the Subrecipient and any subcontractor responsible therefore shall be liable for the unpaid wages.

RECITALS
A. Seller is the owner of the real property consisting of approximately .28 acres improved with a 7296 sf building described on Exhibit “A” (the Property”). Said Property is commonly referred to as 514-516 California Avenue, Beaumont, CA 92223 (APN 418-091-012).

C. Buyer desires to purchase the Property from Seller and Seller desires to sell the Property to Buyer.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual terms and covenants hereinafter set forth and for other consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller hereby agree as follows:

1. SALE AND PURCHASE PRICE.

Staff Report

TO: City Council
FROM: Robert Vestal, Public Works Director
DATE November 21, 2023
SUBJECT: Update on the Citywide Traffic Signal Upgrade at Beaumont Ave and First Street

Description Update on the Citywide Traffic Signal Upgrade at Beaumont Ave and First Street, CIP R-13 (Project).

Background and Analysis:

On August 3, 2021, City Council authorized City staff to pre-purchase traffic signal poles for the Project due to the 6–8-month lead time for production.

On January 3, 2022, City staff ordered the traffic signal poles from McCain, an approved Caltrans vendor, manufactured at an approved Caltrans facility (Valmont).

On July 18, 2022, City staff received the poles.

On April 18, 2023, City Council awarded the construction of Citywide Traffic Signal Upgrade at First Street and Beaumont Avenue (CIP R-13) to Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. (Belco).

On August 24,2023, City Staff met with Belco and a Caltrans inspector in the field, for a pre-construction meeting. It was during this meeting the Caltrans inspector rejected the poles and indicated that since the Caltrans Materials Engineering and Testing Services (METS) did not inspect the poles during fabrication, the poles would need to be evaluated by METS or replaced entirely.

On August 25, 2023, City Staff contacted METS directly and explained the issue. METS declined to inspect the poles. City Staff reached out to the Caltrans Project Manager who was unable to assist in the matter.

During the period from August 25, 2023 to September 21, 2023, City Staff made several attempts to resolve the issue with the Caltrans inspector, METS, and the Project Manager.

Page 438 of 457 ends

On September 22, 2023, City Staff reached out to RCTC staff for assistance.

On October 19, 2023, RCTC indicated that METS would investigate into the issue with the poles.

On November 1, 2023, RCTC further indicated that “Caltrans METS was able to find all the information they needed from Valmont and they feel there is sufficient paperwork to justify accepting the poles through visual inspection.”

On November 7, 2023, RCTC inquired into who would be assigned to the project and coordinate with City staff to schedule a visual inspection.

City Staff continues to work with RCTC and METS to schedule the visual inspection.

Pending approval from METS, the project will be ready to move forward.

Fiscal Impact:

The estimated cost to prepare this staff report is $350.

Recommended Action:

Receive and file.

TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Wheelwright, Deputy City Clerk
DATE November 21, 2023
SUBJECT: Request for Proposal (RFP) Sub-Committee

Description Discussion and direction of RFP Sub-Committee assigned to the Financial and Audit Committee.

Background and Analysis:

On March 1, 2022, City Council had a consensus to designate the Treasurer and sub - committee of the Financial and Audit Committee to participate in the review and recommendation of proposals for all RFPs with an exception to Public Works bids.

This item is being brought forward for discussion to determine if this is still a desired task of the Financial and Audit Committee and if so, a reconsideration of the designation to be any two members of the Financial and Audit Committee to review the RFP proposals. This would alleviate any scheduling conflicts and allow for a wider range of availability without delaying the award of contract.

Fiscal Impact:

The cost to prepare this report is estimated to be $85.

Recommended Action:

Discuss and give direction to staff.
