AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF BELL GARDENS AND BG FLOWER, LLC RELATING TO THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7601 EASTERN AVENUE IN THE

CITY OF BELL GARDENS
DATE: September 9, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The Subject Site is located within the Regional Commercial (RC) General Plan Land Use Element designation and within the Heavy Commercial (C-4) Zone. The RC Land Use designation and Zone C-4 refer to commercial activity in the City. The areas within the zone and element designation were designed for regional attraction, primarily located at (or near) the intersection of Florence and Eastern Avenues with access to the I-710 highway.

At the regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting of July 17, 2024, the Planning Commission determined with a 3-0-2 vote that the Project was categorically exempt from CEQA, approved CUP No. 2024-054 (Resolution No. #PC 2024-018) and recommended to the City Council approval of Ordinance No. 948 (Resolution No. #PC 2024-019) to authorize the entering into and execution of DA No. 2024-054. The adopted CUP conditions of approval require that the operation of the cannabis retail use follow the requirements of the City and California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) and address any potential compatibility concerns.

At the regularly scheduled City Council meeting of August 12, 2024, staff made a presentation regarding the proposed development agreement, followed by a presentation by the Project Applicant. During the Applicant's presentation, the Applicant requested the City Council remove the property owner as a signatory to the proposed development agreement. The City Council deliberated the item materials, presentations, and directed staff to amend the development agreement as requested by the Applicant by a 3-2-0 vote and continue the public hearing until the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting. All other DA terms remain the same.

At the regularly scheduled City Council meeting of August 26, 2024, staff presented responsive changes to the proposed development agreement, pursuant the direction of City Council received at the August 12, 2024 meeting. 7 Additional revisions to the proposed development agreement were requested by the Applicant. The City Council instructed staff to amend the proposed development agreement to remove Sections 6.1 and 9.5 the proposed development agreement by a 4-1-0 vote. The City Council subsequently continued the public hearing to the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

A detailed analysis of the Project's compliance with the City's development standards and the DA terms can be found in the August 12, 2024 and August 26, 2024 City Council staff reports, which are attached herein.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), Ordinance No. 948 was determined to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

CONCLUSION:

The DA is designed to facilitate ongoing communication and collaboration between the Applicant, who would be the licensee, and the local community addressing concerns and ensuring the retail storefront aligns with community values and interests by requiring the Applicant to submit evidence of compliance with all terms and conditions to the City on an annual basis. Balance would be promoted with the operational flexibility built into the DA addressing unforeseen challenges or changes in circumstances, allowing for adjustments as needed through City Council approval. Compliance with the DA and its terms and conditions will be subject to an annual review, whereby if the City determines that the Applicant is in noncompliance status with the DA, the City may modify or terminate the DA.

Adoption of Ordinance No. 948 and the execution of the proposed DA would ensure vested development rights in exchange for community benefits dedicated to revenue for youth programs, housing and homelessness issues, and other discretionary items. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed development agreement, which would permit a cannabis retail use at the Subject Site for an initial five (5) -year term, subject to an option to extend the term for an additional five (5) years, for a total 10 -year term and that the City Council waive full reading, introduce by title only, and adopt Ordinance No. 948.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Applicant would also be required to make quarterly contributions equal to seven percent (7%) of gross receipts, on a quarterly basis. Pursuant to the DA terms, 80% of these funds would be dedicated to the City's youth and recreational programming and the City's housing programs. Under the DA, the Applicant would also be responsible for the cost of staff time spent on the negotiation and preparation of a development agreement and monitoring activities to ensure compliance with the DA, CUP, BGMC, and other applicable laws and regulations.

Developer Initials

Developer shall defend and indemnify the City and the City's elected and appointed councils, boards, commissions, legislative bodies, officials, employees, and representatives from any claim, action, liability, or proceeding that seeks to attack, set aside, void, or annul the Project or any of the proceedings, acts, or determinations taken, done, or made as a result of the City's processing and approval of the Project.

Developer's obligation to defend and indemnify the City hereunder shall apply to any lawsuit or challenge alleging failure to comply with the requirements of any federal, state, or local law, including, but not limited to, general plan and zoning requirements and CEQA. Developer's obligations under this Section 5.6 shall include, but not be limited to, payment of all court costs and attorneys' fees, all litigation -related costs, all costs of judgments and awards against the City, and all settlement costs, which arise out of the City's processing and approval of the Project.

Upon receipt of such notification, the Developer shall assume the defense of the claim, action, or proceeding, including the employment of counsel satisfactory to the City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event of a disagreement between the Parties over litigation issues, the City shall have the authority to control the litigation and make litigation decisions for the City, including, but not limited to, settlement, or other disposition of the matter.

Developer shall further pay for all costs and fees related to any additional investigation or study, or for supplementing or revising any document, including, without limitation, environmental documents for the Project.

Section 5.7. Failure to Indemnify. The failure of Developer to indemnify the City, as required by this Agreement, shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and of any applicable Conditional Use Permit, Business Regulatory Peliiiit, and Additional City Approvals, which shall entitle the City to all remedies available under law, including, but not limited to, specific performance and damages. Failure to indemnify shall constitute grounds upon which the City may rescind its approval of any entitlement, permit, or license related to the Project, or any portion thereof, and a waiver of Developer's right to file a claim, action, or proceeding against the City and City's elected and appointed councils, boards, commissions, legislative bodies, officials, employees, and representatives based upon the City's rescission or revocation of any applicable Conditional Use Permit, Business Regulatory Permit, and Additional City Approvals, or City's failure to defend any claim, action, or proceeding based upon Developer's failure to indemnify the City.

Section 5.8. Waiver of Damages; Referendum. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge that City would not have entered into this Agreement had it been exposed to liability for damages from the Developer and, therefore, the 18 Exhibit 2 31

Developer hereby waives all claims for damages against City for breach of this Agreement. The Developer further acknowledges that under the Development Agreement Statute, land use approvals (including development agreements) must be approved by the City Council and that, under law, the City Council's discretion to vote in any particular way may not be constrained by contract. The Developer therefore waives all claims for damages against City in the event that this Agreement or any Project approval is: (1) not recommended for approval or approved by the Planning Commission, City Council (as the case may be); or (2) is approved by the City Council, but with new changes, amendments, conditions, or deletions to which Developer is opposed.

Developer further acknowledges that, as an instrument which must be approved by ordinance, this Agreement is subject to referendum; and that, under law, the City Council's discretion to avoid a referendum by rescinding its approval of the underlying ordinance may not be constrained by contract, and Developer waives all claims for damages against City in this regard.

Section 5.9. Initiative Measures/Moratoria. The Parties intend this Agreement to be a legally binding contract which shall be exempt from any initiative measure or land use moratorium affecting the consideration and approval of parcel or subdivision maps (whether tentative, vesting tentative or final), building permits, occupancy certificates or other entitlements to use approved, issued or granted within the City. This Agreement shall apply to the Project to the extent such initiative measure or municipal moratorium or other limitation is inconsistent or in conflict with this Agreement. Should an initiative measure or moratorium or other limitation be enacted by the citizens of City which would preclude construction of all or any part of the Project, and to the extent such initiative, measure, moratorium, referendum, statute, ordinance, or other limitation be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to invalidate or prevail over all or any part of this Agreement, the Developer shall not have recourse against City pursuant to this Agreement for damages. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit right of Developer to appeal any such determination that such initiative measure, moratorium, or other limitation invalidates or prevails over all or any part of this Agreement. The City agrees to cooperate with in all reasonable manners in order to keep this Agreement in full force and effect, provided that Developer shall be obligated to reimburse the City for its actual and reasonable expenses incurred directly in connection with such cooperation and the City shall not be obligated to institute a lawsuit or other court proceedings in such cooperation.

AGENDA REPORT
Item 1.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Gustavo Romo, Deputy City Manager/Director of Community Development SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 948 TO AUTHORIZE A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF BELL GARDENS, BG FLOWER, LLC AND 7601 EASTERN, LLC RELATING TO THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7601 EASTERN AVENUE IN THE CITY OF BELL GARDENS DATE: August 26, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 948 by title only, approving the proposed Development Agreement (DA) No. 2024-054 for a cannabis retail storefront at 7601 Eastern Avenue.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

BG Flower, LLC, (Applicant) proposes to establish a cannabis retail use storefront (Project) at 7601 Eastern Avenue, Suite A (Subject Site). The Project entails the construction of a 7,678 square -foot (SF) commercial planned development and operation of a cannabis retail use in a commercial suite approximately 1,821 SF in size. The new construction includes a modification to a side yard setback requirement, which was approved administratively by staff per code allowances.

The Subject Site is located within the Regional Commercial (RC) General Plan Land Use Element designation and within the Heavy Commercial (C-4) Zone. The RC Land Use designation and Zone C-4 refer to commercial activity in the City. The areas within the zone and general plan designation were designed for regional attraction, primarily located at (or near) the intersection of Florence and Eastern Avenues with access to the I-710 highway.

At the regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting of July 17, 2024, the Planning Commission determined with a 3-0-2 vote that the Project was categorically exempt from CEQA, approved CUP No. 2024-054 (Resolution No. #PC 2024-018) for the new development and recommended to the City Council approval of Ordinance No. 948 (Resolution No. #PC 2024-019) to authorize the entering into and execution of DA No. 2024-054. The adopted CUP conditions of approval require that the operation of the cannabis retail use follow the requirements of the City and California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) and address any potential compatibility concerns.

At the regularly scheduled City Council meeting of August 12, 2024, staff made a presentation regarding the proposed development agreement, followed by a presentation from the Project Applicant. During the Applicant's presentation, the Applicant requested the City Council remove the property owner as a signatory to the proposed DA. The City Council deliberated the item materials, presentations, and directed staff to amend the development agreement as requested by the Applicant by a 3-2-0 vote and continue the public hearing until the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting. All other DA terms remain the same.

A detailed analysis of the Project's compliance with the City's development standards and the DA terms can be found in the July 26, 2024, City Council staff report attached, herein.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal.

Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), Ordinance No. 948 was determined to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

CONCLUSION:

The DA is designed to facilitate ongoing communication and collaboration between the Applicant, who would be the licensee, and the local community addressing concerns and ensuring the retail cannabis storefront aligns with community values and interests by requiring the Applicant to submit evidence of compliance with all terms and conditions to the City on an annual basis. Balance would be promoted with the operational flexibility built into the DA addressing unforeseen challenges or changes in circumstances, allowing for adjustments as needed through City Council approval. Compliance with the DA and its terms and conditions will be subject to an annual review, whereby if the City determines that the Applicant is in noncompliance status with the DA, the City may modify or terminate the DA.

Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed development agreement, which would permit a cannabis retail use at the Subject Site for an initial five (5) -year term, subject to an option to extend the term for an additional five (5) years, for a total 10 -year term and that the City Council waive full reading, introduce by title only, and adopt Ordinance No. 948.

Exhibit 3 46

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under the DA, the Applicant would also be responsible for the cost of staff time spent on the negotiation and preparation of a development agreement and monitoring activities to ensure compliance with the DA, CUP, BGMC, and other applicable laws and regulations.

A development agreement is a tool that allows developers to establish assurances and certainty with respect to what rules, regulations, and policies would apply to a project in return for public benefits to the City in the form of capital improvements, monetary contributions, and other obligations.

A request for a development agreement can be used when there are significant development costs and economic risks associated with efforts to improve, develop, and/or use real property for a certain purpose and to establish certain development rights on real property. A development agreement must be approved and adopted by ordinance. The City Council's legislative action on a development agreement ordinance could facilitate the orderly development of sites within City limits, promote shared goals and vision, protect natural resources from adverse impacts, provide community benefits, and reduce economic risk for all stakeholders.

On June 12, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-043, which established procedures and minimum terms for the negotiation of a development agreement for a cannabis retail use, which are consistent with or supplement the requirements set forth in Government Code ection 65864 et seq. (Development Agreement Procedures). Among the requirements to enter into a development agreement with the City, include required findings; cost recovery provisions; annual review; default, cure, modification, and termination procedures. The Development Agreement Procedures require that 80% of the monetary value of the public benefits shall be dedicated to youth and educational programming and resources for the City's housing programs. Additionally, the Development Agreement Procedures dictate that the City Manager, Community Development Director, and City Attorney shall negotiate the terms of the development agreement prior to presenting them to the Planning Commission and City Council. However, the City Council has the ultimate authority on the terms of a development agreement, so long as they are consistent with the City's Development Agreement Procedures.

Community Benefits
As proposed, DA No. 2024-054 would require the Applicant to provide an annual community benefit in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) upon the effective date for DA No. 2024-054 and renewed on an annual basis, every January (Annual Community Benefit). The Applicant would also be required to pay a quarterly community benefit in the amount that is equivalent to seven percent (7%) of gross receipt sales on a quarterly basis (Quarterly Community Benefit) (Annual Community Benefit and Quarter Community Benefit are hereinafter collectively, Community Benefit Fees). The rate of the Quarterly Community Benefit is based on gross receipts, as defined in the DA (Gross Receipts).

Pursuant to the Development Agreement Procedures, 80% of all community benefits would be dedicated toward youth and educational programming and resources for the City's housing programs. Benefits for youth and educational programming would be dedicated to the City's Recreation and Community Services Department and be utilized for, but not limited to, youth programming, Exhibit 4 48

after -school programs, sports programming, personal enrichment classes, or capital improvements on City -owned properties; and community benefits for the City's housing programs would be dedicated toward the Community Development Department and would be utilized for housing programming and long-range planning, including but not limited to affordable housing, rent stabilization and tenant protection efforts, and other land use planning efforts.

The conditions of approval for CUP No. 2024-054 are expressly incorporated into the terms of DA No. 2024-054. These conditions outline specific requirements and timelines for the development of the retail storefront facility to help ensure the Applicant remains in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations, where applicable. In addition, the DA would provide the Applicant with assurances that would enable the Project to exist for a term of up to 10 years in exchange for public benefits.

Adoption of an ordinance and approval of a development agreement would be justified by the legal protections and facilitated approval processes afforded by the DA. Financial stability could also be helped since the DA outlines financial commitments to help ensure long-term viability of the cannabis retail use operation and provide a stable revenue stream for the City.

Conditional Use Permit
The conditions of approval for CUP No. 2024-054 clearly outline specific conditions, requirements, and timelines for the development of the retail storefront facility to help ensure the Applicant remains in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations, where applicable. These conditions are expressly incorporated into the terms of Ordinance No. 948 (DA No. 2024-054).

General Plan Consistency
The Subject Site carries a General Plan Land Use Element Designation of Regional Commercial (RC). The RC Land Use Designation refers to an area that is at the hub of commercial activity in the City and has been designed for regional attraction, primarily located at (or near) the intersection of Florence and Eastern Avenues with access to the 1-710 highway.

Policy 3 of the General Plan's Land Use Element promotes compatible commercial development to emphasize commercial identity and to enhance the appearance, potential economic vitality, and revitalization of commercial areas in the City. The Project proposes to comply with the applicable development standards and locational siting requirements to enhance the economic viability of the surrounding commercial areas and would be consistent with Policy 3.

Policy 5 of the General Plan's Land Use Element emphasizes the provision of an environment to stimulate local employment, property values, community stability, and the economic vitality of existing local businesses. The introduction of a cannabis retail use would promote an economic diversity of the City's commercial zones and provide local employment opportunities while still regulating existing businesses and would, therefore, be consistent with Policy 5.

Zoning Consistency
The corresponding zone for the RC Land Use Designation is Zone C-4 (Heavy Commercial). Zone C-4 conditionally permits the cannabis retail use, subject to certain siting requirements and development standards.

Consistency with Development Standards
The Planning Commission determined that the Project complied with development standards contained in Chapter 9.12 (Commercial Zones) and Chapter 9.48 (Eastern and Florence Avenues Facade Design Standards) of the Bell Gardens Municipal Code (BGMC) as detailed in the July 17, 2024 staff report of the Planning Commission and through the Planning Commission's adoption of Resolution #PC 2024-018, inclusive of locational siting requirements found in BGMC Section 9.20.160(A) and is located more than 500 feet from any existing cannabis retail use and more than 600 feet away from any daycare, park, or youth center, as defined by the BGMC.

Signage
No request for a sign permit in the request. Pursuant to the BGMC and Condition of Approval No. 23, the Applicant would be required to submit an application with updated site and elevation plans to depict compliance with the requirements found in Chapter 9.20 (Signs) and Chapter 9.48 (Eastern and Florence Avenues Facade and Design Standards) of the BGMC prior to placing signage at the Subject Site.

Lighting, Odor Mitigation, and Security Plans
BGMC Chapter 5.64 requires a cannabis retailer to comply with specific operating standards, inclusive of a requirement to implement and comply with a Lighting Plan, Odor Mitigation Plan, and Security Plan, which are submitted as a part of the Business Regulatory Permit application process. Failure to comply with these plans may subject an operator to enforcement actions such as suspension or revocation of a Business Regulatory Permit.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal.

Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), Ordinance No. 948 was determined to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption).

CONCLUSION:

Adoption of Ordinance No. 948 and execution of the proposed DA would ensure vested development rights in exchange for community benefits dedicated to revenue for youth programs, housing and homelessness issues, and other discretionary items.

Therefore, staff recommends adoption of the propose ordinance and approval of the proposed development agreement, which would permit a cannabis retail use at the Subject Site for an initial five (5) -year term, subject to an option to extend the term for an additional five (5) years, for a total ten (10) -year term.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If Ordinance No. 948 is approved, the Applicant would be required to make an up -front payment of $100,000 upon the effective date of the DA and renew the contribution annually following the execution of the DA, every January. The Applicant would also be required to make quarterly contributions equal to seven percent (7%) of gross receipts, on a quarterly basis. Pursuant to the DA terms, 80% of these funds would be dedicated to the City's youth and recreational programming and the City's housing programs. Under the DA, the Applicant would also be responsible for the cost of staff time spent on the negotiation and preparation of a development agreement and monitoring activities to ensure compliance with the DA, CUP, BGMC, and other applicable laws and regulations.

Item 2.

TO: Honorable Chair and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Steven Jones, City Planner
BY: Mona Mossayeb, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. 2024-054 AND RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. TO APPROVE A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AUTHORIZING A CANNABIS RETAIL USE ("KUSH CO") AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR COMMERCIAL STRUCTURES AT 7601 EASTERN AVE (FILE NO. 2024-054)
DATE: July 17, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the Planning Commission move to:

1. Determine Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 2024-054 (Exhibit 3) and Ordinance No. 948 (Exhibit 1) for Development Agreement (DA) No. 2024-054 (Exhibit 2) are categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption); and

2. Adopt Resolution #PC 2024-018 (Exhibit 3) approving CUP No. 2024-054 for the construction of a 7,678.2 square -foot (SF) commercial complex comprised of four structures and seven commercial units, inclusive of a modification to a street side yard setback, and authorization of a cannabis retail use in a 1,821 SF commercial suite, subject to conditions of approval; and

3. Adopt Resolution #PC 2024-019 (Exhibit 4) recommending that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 948 authorizing the City of Bell Gardens (City) to enter into and execute a DA by and between the City, BG Flower, LLC, and 7601 Eastern, LLC, to permit a cannabis use for a five (5) -year term, with the option to extend the DA for an additional five (5) years for a total 10 -year term in exchange for community benefits.

BACKGROUND:

BG Flower, LLC (Applicant), represented by Aram Ekimyan, proposes the construction of a 7,678.2 SF commercial planned development, as well as a modification of side yard setback requirements and operation of a cannabis retail use in a 1,821 SF commercial suite, and a DA to establish certain development rights to authorize the operation of the proposed cannabis retail use at the Subject Site for a term of up to 10 years, in exchange for community benefits (Project) located at 7601 Eastern Avenue (Subject Site). Specifically, the 7,678.2 SF commercial planned development will consist of four (4) single -story detached buildings with seven (7) commercial suites and one accessory bathroom structure for security (Exhibit 6). The cannabis retail use would occupy the northeast corner unit of approximately 1,821 SF in size. As part of this Project, the Applicant is also requesting a street side yard setback modification from 10 feet (10') to two feet (2') and five inches (5") to be more in line with setbacks of other structures in the surrounding neighborhood.

The Subject Site is identified by the Los Angeles County Office of the Assessor as Assessor's Identification Number (AIN) 6227-013- 024 (Exhibit 5) and is an approximately 24,570.8 SF parcel of land. The Subject Site is located within the Heavy Commercial (C-4) Zone and within the Regional Commercial (RC) General Plan Land Use Element designation. Zone C-4 conditionally permits commercial planned developments and cannabis retail uses, subject to the acquisition of a CUP.

SITE DESCRIPTION:

The Subject Site is currently vacant and undeveloped. It was previously occupied by the Ace Hardware, which had occupied the Subject Site for more than 25 years. Based on information provided by the Bell Gardens Police Department, no calls for service have Exhibit 5
51 been received during the last three (3) years. The Applicant purchased the Subject Site from the City through the Surplus Land Act process and subsequently demolished the previous building.

PROJECT/SITE DESCRIPTION:

The Applicant is requesting a CUP that would authorize a commercial planned development, a modification of side yard requirements, and a cannabis retail use at the Subject Site and a DA to establish certain development rights to authorize the operation of the proposed cannabis retail use at the Subject Site for a term of up to 10 years, in exchange for community benefits.

In 2022, the Planning Commission approved a request to redevelop the Subject Site and construction of a two (2) -story 10,497.9 SF commercial and office structure (Site Plan Review No. 2022-022). The Project's proposed commercial planned development is included with this application. Pursuant to Bell Gardens Municipal Code (BGMC) Section 9.58.050 (variances and conditional use permits not subject to site plan review) and, if approved, would supersede the previously approved Site Plan Review No. 2022-022.

The proposed commercial planned development includes four detached buildings of modern design and would provide an off-street parking area developed with 30 parking spaces inclusive of two (2) parking spaces compliant with the 1990 American with Disabilities Act (ADA), eleven (11) electric vehicle (EV) charging spaces, eight (8) bicycle parking spaces, a trash enclosure, landscaping, and an accessory structure for a security guard restroom (Exhibit 6). Table 2, below, provides the square footage for each commercial suite proposed for the Project.

72.2 Total Development
7,678.2
If approved, the commercial planned development would accommodate the proposed storefront cannabis retail use in proposed "Unit A." Approximately 1,000 SF area would be dedicated to the storefront retail space, and approximately 821 SF would serve as a limited -access area, inclusive of one (1) ADA-compliant staff restroom, an office, and a saferoom (Exhibit 7). Unit A is proposed to be situated at the northeast corner of the Subject Site adjacent to the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Priory Street.

ANALYSIS:

General Plan Consistency
The Subject Site carries an RC General Plan Land Use Element designation. The RC Land Use Element designation refers to regional commercial uses that aim to supply the community and region with commercial facilities and is concentrated along parts of Eastern Avenue and Florence Avenue.

Policy 3 of the General Plan's Land Use Element promotes compatible commercial development to emphasize commercial identity and the enhancement, appearance, potential economic vitality, and revitalization of commercial areas in the City. The Project proposes to comply with applicable development standards and locational siting requirements with the exception of a street side yard setback, for which a modification is being requested to be consistent with surrounding neighborhood setbacks and to enhance the economic viability of the surrounding commercial areas. Therefore, the Project would be consistent with Policy 3.

Policy 5 of the General Plan's Land Use Element emphasizes the provision of an environment to stimulate local employment, property values, community stability, and the economic vitality of existing local businesses. The introduction of seven (7) proposed units for the conduct of permitted commercial land uses within four (4) detached buildings and a cannabis retail use would promote economic diversity while still regulating existing businesses. Therefore, the Project would be consistent with Policy 5.

Based on the aforementioned, if implemented, the Project would be consistent with the General Plan.

Zoning Consistency
The corresponding zone for the RC Land Use Element designation is Zone C-4, which conditionally permits commercial planned developments and the cannabis retail use, subject to certain siting requirements and development standards.

Compliance with Commercial Zone Development Standards
The Subject Site is an approximate 24,570.8 SF "L" shaped parcel and is currently vacant and undeveloped. The proposal includes the construction of a new 7,678.2 SF commercial planned development that, if approved, would meet lot standards, floor -to -area ratio, height maximum, screening, landscaping, lighting, trash enclosure, equipment, fences and wall requirements, and commercial development design and parking standards, with the exception of the side yard setback modification request, which staff considers incidental and necessary for consistency with the neighborhood and preservation of the proposed design.

As detailed below, the Subject Site is adequate in size, shape, and topography to support the proposed structures and business consistent with the BGMC's applicable zoning requirements and development standards, with a request for a modification of yard setback. The historic subdivision plans make compliance with the BGMC's 10 -foot street side yard setback requirement impractical Exhibit 5 52

because the lot configuration originated with antiquated subdivisions. The Heyman Tract recorded on June 10, 1865, and TR9964 recorded on June 6, 1927, both prior to the time of the 1971 California Subdivision Map Act (Gov. Code § 66410 et seq.), which regulates and controls the division of land, design, improvements and survey data to be observed when securing subdivision entitlements and is currently the method by which all legal subdivisions within the state are evaluated and processed. In other words, the parcel of land was configured before current area and lot design requirements and are inapplicable to contemporary development.

Offers to dedicate streets or highways to the public were, in all cases where practical, approximate right angles to the street and could have caused impractical conditions for meeting some existing development standards.

Yard Setbacks
BGMC Table 9.12B provides the applicable yard setback requirements for properties located within Zone C-4. As demonstrated in Table 3 below, and consistent with Exhibit 6. As noted below, the Applicant is requesting for side street (Priory Street) yard setback modification from 10 feet to two (2) feet and five (5) inches at the shallowest point, pursuant to BGMC Section 9.46.110.

Lot Coverage and Floor -to -Area Ratio
BGMC Table 9.12B permits up to 90 percent (90%) lot coverage and permits a maximum Floor -to -Area Ration (FAR) of 5.0.

The Subject Site is a 24,570.8 SF lot and the proposed 7,678.2 SF development would occupy approximately 30 percent (30%) of the Subject Site and an FAR of 3.35 (Exhibit 6). Therefore, the Project complies with the BGMC's lot coverage and FAR standards.

Height
As shown in Table 9.12B, there is no maximum height for Zone C-4. The Project proposes a maximum height of 19 feet and two inches (19'-2"), as demonstrated in the architectural elevations (Exhibit 8). BGMC Chapter 9.04 requires height to be measured from the average natural grade around the perimeter of the structure to the highest point of the coping of the proposed flat roof. Therefore, the newly constructed buildings would comply with the City's height restrictions.

Screening of Mechanical and Utility Equipment
Pursuant to BGMC Section 9.12.040, all mechanical equipment must be shielded with a decorative screen to ensure such equipment is not visible from street level and must be placed at least six inches (6") below the top of the lowest building parapet or decorative screen. The newly constructed building would comply with the requirement that outside utility equipment such as utility meters, new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, etc., be screened from public view from the public right-of-way as depicted in the proposed elevations (Exhibit 8).

Elevation plans depict proposed compliance with screening requirements since a five-foot (5') — five inch (5") high parapet facade would surround the roofing of the structure. Rooftop screening material and color would be architecturally compatible with the primary building and adjacent structures as depicted in the complementary color pattern. The proposed color pattern would facilitate plumbing lines and HVAC equipment as enclosed or otherwise screened from view from the public right-of-way.

Landscaping
The Project would comply with the City's landscaping requirements. Section 9.34.030 of the BGMC requires, in addition to all required setbacks being landscaped, a minimum of five percent (5%) of the parking area to be landscaped with live plant materials. The Subject Site is a 24,570.8 SF parcel of land and the parking coverage is approximately 10,463 SF area. Five percent (5%) of the parking area equals 523.15 square feet (sf). The Project proposes a total combined 2,648 SF landscaped area as demonstrated in the Landscape Plan (Exhibit 9), which incorporates landscaping area for all required setbacks and the minimum -required parking area landscaping.

The Project would exceed the BGMC's landscaping requirements and therefore complies.

Lighting
According to the submitted Lighting Plan (Lighting Plan) (Exhibit 10), proposed lumens would be consistent with minimum impact with respect to glare that might adversely affect the tenants and purposes of this zone or adjacent zones. Lighting is depicted to target illumination of the structures and proposed parking area to avoid excessive spillover beyond the Subject Site property lines. The conditions of approval for CUP No. 2024-054 would require compliance with the submitted Lighting Plan. Compliance with the Lighting Plan requirements are also incorporated by reference into DA No. 2024-054.

Parking
A cannabis retail use must provide off-street parking consistent for "business general" as set forth in BGMC Section 9.38.050. As demonstrated in Table No. 4 below, the Project would be required to provide 20 parking spaces for the 7,678.2 SF commercial planned development proposed to be used for the conduct of permitted commercial activity land uses. The Applicant proposes 30 parking spaces, inclusive of two (2) ADA-compliant parking spaces (Exhibit 6).

Loading Facilities
Section 9.38.110 of the BGMC requires a minimum 250 SF loading space where the gross floor area of all buildings on a lot or parcel is less than 20,000 SF.

The Project proposes one (1) loading space of 10 feet (10') wide and 25 feet (25') deep, totaling 250 sf, at the rear of the Subject Site.

Therefore, the loading facilities would comply with BGMC Section 9.38.110.

Trash Enclosures
BGMC Chapter 9.44 requires an on -site refuse dumpster on commercial sites and the maintenance of a trash enclosure area.

The proposed trash enclosure dimensions are 11 feet, four inches (11'-4") deep by 13 feet (13') wide, with a masonry wall of six feet (6') in height and two metal gates (Exhibit 8) and therefore, comply with BGMC Chapter 9.44 requirements.

Wall -Mounted Equipment
Section 9.12.040 of the BGMC, commercial development standard matrix requires that water heater enclosures, vents, fleshings, pipes, and conduits for solar or other equipment to be painted the same color as the surface to which they are attached.

Condition No. 78 would require all above equipment be screened from public view and treated to match the materials and colors of the proposed building; therefore, the Project complies with the BGMC's requirements.

Fences and Walls
Development of a fence, low barrier wall or walls on a project site must be established and erected in accordance with provisions of BGMC Chapter 9.32.

Temporary chain link fencing currently exists at the Subject Site and the building used as a medical clinic located at 7615 Eastern Avenue has no setback, serves as a physical property boundary, and borders the south property line. The Project would remove the existing chain link fencing after construction does not propose any new fences or walls.

Exterior Building Features
BGMC Section 9.12.040, Design Standards for all Commercial Development Matrix (Table 9.12) requires that (a) all building walls on a lot to be painted the same or complementary colors; (b) windows and doors on new construction to be of consistent style, material, and colors; (c) all windows and door trims, fascia boards, and similar trim features should be of the same or complementary material, style, and color; and (d) roofs on new buildings to be the same material, color and style as the roofs on existing buildings on the lot.

As demonstrated in the architectural elevations (Exhibit 8), the planned commercial development would comply with the applicable requirements for exterior building features that incorporate the use of the same or complementary colors, material, and style pursuant to Table 9.12B of the BGMC (Development Standards). The proposed exterior material schedule includes a combination of cool and warm color tones over a combination of stucco, metal panels, cement siding, and perforated metal. The new buildings would provide tempered glass front windows and glass doors, decorative metal fixtures, and visually dynamic features associated with a modern/contemporary architectural style.

Exterior Site Features
The Exterior Site Features standards in Table 9.12 requires that new fences and walls to be of consistent materials, design, color and that driveways, walkways, etc., to be free of gouges, ruts, and/or gaps so that the paved surface areas are maintained and in good working order to not constitute a safety hazard to the public.

Condition No. 83 confers the Applicant's responsibility over improvements of driveway approaches, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and streetlights. The Applicant is required to sign an affidavit to abide by conditions requiring good working order of driveways, walkways and other pedestrian and vehicular paths that would remain free of gouges, ruts, and/or gaps in the paved surface areas. Therefore, the Project complies with BGMC Section 9.12.040.

Signs
The Project proposes signage for the cannabis retail storefront located in Unit A, only. Pursuant to BGMC 9.48.030 (Eastern and Florence Avenue Sign Standards), the Applicant proposes one (1) sign to be located on the Eastern Avenue storefront at approximately 15.28 square feet (under the maximum 10 percent (10%) allowed), which complies with BGMC Section 9.48.030.

Condition No. 24 of the CUP requires the Applicant to submit plans for review for signage approval prior to installation of any future tenants. Any future proposed signage would be required to comply with the BGMC's standards for signage on Eastern and Florence Avenues.

Windows
Section 9.20.160(B)(3) of the BGMC requires that windows facing the street frontage be clear, untinted glass. Mirrored, reflective, or tinted glass may only be permitted as architectural or decorative accents and shall not comprise more than 20 percent (20%) of the window.

As noted on the Door and Window Schedule (Exhibit 11), the glass proposed would be clear tempered glass throughout, thus, consistent with the requirement.

Exhibit 5 54

Decorative Railings and Grilles
BGMC Section 9.20.160(B)(4) requires that any decorative railings and grilles placed in front or behind windows be at least 75 percent (75%) open to perpendicular view and no more than six feet (6') in height. Security gates and grilles shall be prohibited on the exterior of any structure.

The Project does not propose any decorative railings, grilles, or security gates or grilles; therefore, the Project would comply with the BGMC's requirements.

Compliance with Eastern and Florence Facade and Design Standards Commercial businesses located on Eastern Avenue are subject to the requirements contained in BGMC Chapter 9.48 (Eastern and Florence Avenues Design Standards) as described in more detail below.

Signage (Wall Signs, Sign Size, and Sign Design)
As stated above, the Project proposes signage on Unit A at the Subject Site that would comply with BGMC Section 9.48.030.

Condition No. 24 of the CUP would also require the Applicant to submit plans for review for signage approval prior to installation of any future tenants.

Materials
The Project proposes colors and materials that comply with Section 9.48.040(A) of the BGMC standard that requires any exposed building elevation to be architecturally treated in a consistent manner, including the incorporation within the side and rear building elevations of some or all of the design elements used for the primary facades. The Project facade design considers the adjacent structures by proposing the use of materials, such as a combination of smooth stucco, metal panels, and cement siding and, therefore, complies with the BGMC's requirements.
• - Colors
The Project design proposes a combination of smooth stucco, metal panels, cement siding, and perforated metal offering a combination of cool and warm color tones. The new building would be provided with tempered glass front windows and glass doors, decorative metal fixtures, and visually dynamic features associated with a modern / contemporary architectural style and, therefore, complies with the color standards contained in Section 9.48.040(B) of the BGMC. - Awnings
There are no awnings in the proposed design. Therefore, the standards contained in Section 9.48.040(C) of the BGMC are not applicable to the Project.

Mechanical Equipment
Elevation plans depict proposed compliance with screening requirements since a five-foot (5') — five inch (5") high parapet facade would surround the roofing of the structure, with the HVAC behind the proposed parapet wall. Other mechanical equipment elements are depicted screened from public eye. Therefore, the Project complies with the provisions of Section 9.48.040(D) of the BGMC. • Prohibited Security Elements
Section 9.48.040(E) prohibits the use of chain -link, barbed and concertina wire fences; requires all security bars or grilles to be installed on the inside of the building; horizontally folding accordion grilles installed in front of a storefront or in the interior which must not be visible, and roll -up -type shutters should be open, decorative grilles and concealed within architectural elements of the building.

Solid -type shutters are prohibited.

The Project does not propose any prohibited security elements in the Project design. Therefore, the Project complies with standards found in Section 9.48.040(E) of the BGMC.

Impacts on City Resources
A cannabis retail use is similar to other commercial uses permitted in the City's Commercial and Industrial Zones. Cannabis retailers are subject to the same or more restrictive development standards than other commercial uses. Patrons would arrive at the Subject Site and visit a retailer for short periods of time, typically no longer than 30 minutes to make their purchase, similar to other retail uses.

As described below, there is no anticipation that the Project would have an impact on existing resources and utilities.

Traffic Volumes
The Subject Site is located on Eastern Avenue, which is one of the primary commercial corridors in the City. Eastern Avenue is designated as a major highway in the 2022 Transportation and Circulation Element, as a part of the City's General Plan. In accordance with this element, Eastern Avenue is a major highway designed to move large volumes of traffic through the community to freeways, other boulevards, or avenues. Major highways are intended to keep through -traffic off the local streets and out of residential areas.

Entrance to the parking lot would be provided via Priory Street on the northern side of the Subject Site away from traffic flow and with low likelihood to disrupt major highway large volume traffic patterns.

The Project is proposed along a major highway that currently carries large volumes of traffic to support the existing development along Eastern Avenue. The introduction of an 1,821 SF cannabis retail use, along with the other proposed retail spaces, on a commercial corridor that operates similarly to other retail operations is unlikely to result in a substantial increase in traffic volumes. Therefore, no substantial increase in pedestrian or vehicular traffic volume to the Subject Site is expected to occur as a result of the Project if CUP No. 2024-054 is granted.

Utilities
The previously approved development at the Subject Site (Site Plan Review 2022-022) would have resulted in an approximately 3,000 SF development and was provided with will -serve letters for utilit services. The Applicant has reached out to the various utilities Exhibit 5 55y

servicing Bell Gardens to obtain will -serve letters. Thus far one letter has been received, and those pending would be required as proposed Condition No. 70.

Conditional Use Permit
On June 26, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 934 which permits a cannabis retail use as a conditional use in Commercial and Industrial Zones, subject to certain locational requirements, inclusive of distance from sensitive uses such as parks, schools, youth centers, and other existing cannabis retail uses. Uses permitted through a CUP may be essential or desirable to a particular community but are not allowed as a matter of right within a zoning classification and require a public hearing process. A CUP allows flexibility within a particular zone and enables certain use controls to address issues which could have detrimental effects on the community. It is the responsibility of the Planning Commission to impose conditions and/or limitations on the operation of the proposed use.

Ordinance No. 934 also limits a cannabis retail use for a term of 18 months unless the Applicant executes a development agreement with the City for a longer term. As discussed in further detail below, the Applicant has requested, and the staff recommends, the entering into and executing DA No. 2024-054 with the Applicant and Property Owner, as presented in the staff materials, for a term not to exceed 10 years in exchange for annual and quarterly community benefits.

In addition to a CUP, the Applicant would be required to obtain a California Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) Type 10 cannabis retail license and a business regulatory permit pursuant to BGMC Chapters 5.12 and 5.64, among other state and local approvals prior to commencing operations.

Locational Requirements
In order to approve a CUP for a cannabis retail use, the following locational requirements apply to all cannabis retailers for proximity to sensitive uses and proximity to other cannabis retailers. If approved, and as detailed below, the Project would comply with locational siting requirements set forth in Section 9.20.160 of the BGMC.

Distance from Sensitive Uses (600 -Foot Radius)
A cannabis retail use may not be located within a 600 -foot radius of a day care center, youth center, school, or park as defined in BGMC Chapter 9.04, that is existing at the time an application for a conditional use permit is submitted.

At the time of application and based on the staff's recent analysis, no active sensitive use is located within a 600 -foot radius (Exhibit 12). In addition, there are no known sensitive uses or other active cannabis retail within a 1,500 -foot radius (Exhibit 13).

Distance from Cannabis Retailers (500 -Foot Radius)
A cannabis retail use may not be located within a 500 -foot radius of another cannabis retailer that is existing at the time an application for a conditional use permit is submitted.

At the time of application, no other active cannabis retail use is located within a 500 -foot radius (Exhibit 14), nor 1,500 -foot radius (Exhibit 13).

Restricted Use Within the Civic Center Overlay District A cannabis retail use may not be permitted within the Civic Center Overlay District (CCOD). The CLOD encompasses Garfield Avenue, with the borders of Florence Place to the south and Gage Avenue to the north. The Subject Site is located on Eastern Avenue, which is outside of the prohibited use area of the CLOD.

Restricted Areas (BGMC 9.20.160(A)(2))
A cannabis retail use may not be permitted within the boundaries delineated in Section 9.20.160(A)(2) of the BGMC. The restricted boundaries located on Eastern Avenue and Florence Avenue are as shown in Figure No. 1. The Subject Site is located between Priory Street and Clara Street, on the western side of Bell Gardens and due south of the prohibited areas of the restricted boundaries of other prohibited areas pursuant to Section 9.20.160(A)(2) of the BGMC. (See Figure No. 1 — Restricted Area) To minimize any potential concerns to neighboring properties and ensure that the operation of the cannabis retail store conforms to the City's General Plan, conditions of approval have been included as part of Planning Commission Resolution #PC 2024-018 to address general operating conditions, the hours of operation, standards, and security for the Subject Site.

Lighting, Odor Mitigation, and Security Plans
BGMC Chapter 5.64 requires a cannabis retailer to comply with specific operating standards. If CUP No. 2024-054 is approved, the Applicant would be required to implement the Lighting Plan, Odor Mitigation Plan, and Security Plan to provide safe and secure surroundings for both customers and the surrounding neighborhood. The Applicant has provided a Lighting Plan (Exhibit 10), Odor Mitigation Plan (Exhibit 15), and Security Plan (Exhibit 16) to comply with the operating standards outlines in BGMC Chapter 5.64. If approved, these plans would be incorporated by reference as exhibits into the proposed conditions of approval for CUP No. 2024-054 as well as DA No. 2024-054.

Lighting Plan
The Applicant has provided a lighting and photometric plan to support the cannabis retail use (Lighting Plan) (Exhibit 10). According to the Lighting Plan, proposed lumens would be consistent with minimum impact with respect to glare that might adversely affect the tenants and purposes of this zone or adjacent zones. Lighting is depicted to target illumination of the structures and proposed parking area to avoid excessive spillover beyond the Subject Site property lines. The conditions of approval for CUP No. 2024-054 would require compliance with the submitted Lighting Plan. The requirements of the Lighting Plan are also incorporated by reference into DA No. 2024-054.

Exhibit 5 56

Odor Mitigation Plan
The Applicant has provided a minimal Odor Mitigation Plan (Exhibit 15), addressing concerns over cannabis product odor that may be produced as a result of this retail store. No specifications of air filtration systems that would be installed are provided, however the following notation states:
"An air balance report and odor color certification prepared by Airplus Engineering Consultants, a registered design professional, who shall design the system to be submitted to the City's Building Division for review and approval prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy."
The Applicant proposes to carry a full range of cannabis and cannabis products, and proposes:
• installation of equipment with an inline charcoal exhaust system in every space that contains cannabis product, a system that would remove 99% of odors, and
would create negative air pressure between the retail store's interior and exterior.

Security Plan
The Applicant has provided a Security Plan (Exhibit 16) to address public safety issues inclusive of the installation and operation of security and monitoring. The Security Plan would be incorporated into the conditions of approval for the CUP and incorporated by reference into DA No. 2024-054 and would require compliance with the submitted plan.

The Security Plan proposes one (1) security guard, one (1) security manager, staff badges, restricted access areas, staff security training, participation in the track and trace system, and 24 -hour surveillance.

The Applicant has provided a cash management plan within the security plan to address any cash transactions; whilst the focus of the business would be to encourage digital transactions and electronic payment.

The Applicant would be required to follow the California DCC's customer age verification as a part of standard business practice and as a security measure to ensure that cannabis is only purchased by adult use customers aged 21 and older, using an electronic verification device, as required by the conditions of approval. Planning Commission Resolution #PC 2024-018 includes proposed conditions of approval incorporated by reference as Attachment A to address concerns that patrons of the cannabis retail business that purchase product be 21 years of age (Condition No. 29) and that all employees be at least 21 years old (Condition No. 30) or are medicinal patients aged 18 or older with a physician's recommendation (Condition No. 29); along with conditions for security concerns.

Hours of Operation
DCC hours of operation would be restricted to 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. (last transaction), Monday through Sunday, with the last delivery order to be placed by 9:00 p.m., and all delivery vehicles returned no later than 10:00 p.m., unless stricter hours are imposed by a local municipality. Staff has conducted a survey of the permitted hours of the municipalities surrounding Bell Gardens withing a three (3) mile radius and have determined the most common closure time is 10:00 p.m., but at least three (3) stores within this 3 -mile radius close at 9:00 p.m. Local municipalities may permit hours of operation consistent with DCC regulations or restrict hours through a condition of approval.

Under unique circumstances, it could be appropriate to condition stricter hours of operation if the City finds that reduced hours of operation could address concerns of neighborhood compatibility, loitering, traffic and congestion, and noise. However, reduced hours may lead to other drawbacks such as reduced economic impact to public benefit funds, favored surrounding market competition, and enforcement challenges. Staff currently recommends hours of operations be restricted to 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., which are addressed in Condition No. 23 of the CUP 2024-054.

A request for a development agreement can be used when there are significant development costs and economic risks associated with efforts to improve, develop, and/or use real property for a certain purpose and to establish certain development rights on real property. A development agreement must be approved and adopted by ordinance. The City Council's legislative action on a development agreement ordinance could facilitate the orderly development of sites within Bell Gardens, promote shared goals and vision, protect natural resources from adverse impacts, provide community benefits, and reduce economic risk for all stakeholders.

Additionally, the Development Agreement Procedures dictate that the City Manager, Community Development Director, and City Attorney shall negotiate the terms of the development agreement prior to presenting them to the Planning Commission and City Council. However, the City Council has the ultimate authority on the terms of a development agreement, so long as they are consistent with the Development Agreement Procedures.

Community Benefits
As presented in the proposed DA (Exhibit 2), the Applicant would provide an annual community benefit in the amount of One Hundred Exhhb°t nand Dollars ($100,000) (Annual Community Benefit) upon effective date for the development agreement and renewed on an

annual basis, every January. The Applicant would also be required to pay a quarterly community benefit in the amount that is equivalent to seven percent (7%) of gross receipt sales on a quarterly basis (Quarterly Community Benefit) (Annual Community Benefit and Quarter Community Benefit are hereinafter collectively, Community Benefit Fees). The rate of the Quarterly Community Benefit is based on gross receipts, as defined in the DA (Gross Receipts).

Pursuant to the Development Agreement Procedures, the DA would require that 80 percent (80%) of all community benefits would be dedicated toward youth and educational programming and resources for the City's housing programs. Benefits for youth and educational programming would be dedicated to the City's Recreation and Community Services Department and be utilized for, but not limited to, youth programming, after -school programs, sports programming, personal enrichment classes, or capital improvements on City -owned properties; and community benefits for the City's housing programs shall be dedicated toward the Community Development Department and would be utilized for housing programming and long-range planning, including but not limited to affordable housing, rent stabilization and tenant protection efforts, and other land use planning efforts.

The conditions of approval for CUP No. 2024-054 which clearly outline specific conditions, requirements, and timelines for the development of the retail storefront facility to help ensure the Applicant remains in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations, where applicable, would be expressly incorporated into the terms of the DA No. 2024-054. In addition, the DA would provide the Applicant with assurances that would enable the Project to exist for a term of up to 10 years in exchange for community benefits, as described above. The DA is designed to facilitate ongoing communication and collaboration between the Applicant, who would be licensee, and the City addressing concerns and ensuring the cannabis retail use aligns with community values and interests by requiring the Applicant to submit evidence of compliance with all terms and conditions to the City on an annual basis. Balance would be promoted with the operational flexibility built into the DA addressing unforeseen challenges or changes in circumstances, allowing for adjustments as needed through City Council approval. Compliance with the DA and its terms and conditions would be subject to an annual review, whereby if the City determines that the Applicant is not in compliance with the DA, the City may modify or terminate the DA.

Cost Recovery Fees
Separate and apart from Community Benefit Fees, the development agreement contains language that requires the operator to reimburse the City for fees and charges imposed to cover actual and reasonable expenses incurred in processing permits, licenses, other entitlements, inquiries, and requests related to the DA (Cost Recovery Fees). Cost Recovery Fees also includes costs associated with administering the assignment of rights under the DA as well as costs associated with annual review of the DA.

The imposition of Cost Recovery Fees ensure that the City is able to maximize the revenue sought after by the DA, without having to absorb the costs associated with processing applications and monitoring compliance with applicable laws and regulations, conditions of approval and other applicable terms.

DA Term
Similar to the other development agreements considered by the City, DA No. 2024-054 would permit a cannabis retail use at the Subject Site for an initial five (5) -year term, subject to an option to extend the term for an additional five (5) years, for a total 10 -year term. In order to effectuate the option to extend the DA for an additional five years, the Applicant must submit notice to the City Manager six months prior to the expiration of the initial five-year term of its desire to extend the term of the DA. As proposed, exercising the five- year extension is expressly contingent on compliance with applicable state and local laws, the DA, CUP 2024-054, the BGMC, state cannabis licenses, and any additional City approvals. Additionally, the DA term may not be extended if an operator is currently under default of the DA. Allowing the City the opportunity to review an operator's compliance with the foregoing grants the City assurances that cannabis retailers are operating within the confines of the law, nuisance impacts are being addressed, and the City is taking in revenue and able to recover costs associated with processing and monitoring compliance with the development agreement.

Assignment of Interests & Obligations of Any Successors -In -Interest As proposed, DA No. 2024-054 requires City Council approval prior to selling, assigning, or transferring any part of the rights, title, duties, obligations, and interests in any portion of the Subject Site or Project that is subject to the DA to another party. Requiring the examination of any proposed transfer or assignment of rights allows the City to determine whether it wants to engage in a long-term agreement that would vest a prospective operator's land use rights to operate a cannabis retail location.

In addition, the DA includes language that would ensure that successors -in -interest, assigns, and transferees and subsequent property owners accept constructive notice of the duties and obligations contained within the DA. Property owners and the operators are also jointly and severally liable pursuant to the terms of the proposed DA.

Recommendations to the City Council
The proposed conditions of approval for CUP No. 2024-054 dearly outline specific conditions, requirements, and timelines for the development of the Project would ensure the Applicant remains in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations, where applicable, would be expressly incorporated into the terms of the DA No. 2024-054. In addition, the DA would provide the Applicant with assurances that would enable the Project to exist for a term of up to 10 years in exchange for community benefits. The DA is designed to facilitate ongoing communication and collaboration between the Applicant, who would be licensee, and the local community addressing concerns and ensuring the storefront cannabis retail use aligns with community values and interests by requiring the Applicant to submit evidence of compliance with all terms and conditions to the City on an annual basis. Balance would be promoted with the operational flexibility built into the DA addressing unforeseen challenges or changes in circumstances, allowing for adjustments as needed through City Council approval. Compliance with the DA and its terms and conditions would be subject to an annual review, whereby if the City determines that the Applicant is not in compliance with the DA, the City may modify or terminate the DA.

Adoption of an ordinance subject to the approval of a development agreement would be justified by the legal protections and facilitated Ex approval processes afforded by the DA. Financial stability coul �aIso be helped since the DA outlines financial commitments to help

ensure long-term viability of the cannabis retail operation and provide a stable revenue stream for the City.

Staff believes that the proposed development agreement (Exhibit 2) is in the best interests of the City while still providing the Applicant with the assurances and certainty that are typically sought under a DA. [1] If a setback is desired, it must be a minimum setback of five feet from side or rear property lines to prevent narrow and unsecured spaces between buildings and property lines.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Pub. Res. Code § 21000 et seq.) and CEQA Guidelines (Cal.

Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), staff recommends CUP No. 2024-054 and DA No. 2024-054 be determined to be exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332, Class 32 (In -fill Development Projects) and Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). As discussed above, the project is consistent with the RC Land Use Element designation and all applicable general plan policies and applicable zoning designation and regulations; the Subject Site is less than five acres and surrounded by urban uses; the Subject Site has no value as habitat for endangered, rate or threatened species; would not result in significant effects related to traffic, noise, air quality or water quality; and the Subject Site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. As discussed above, a larger project was previously approved at the Subject Site and was determined to be categorically exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15532. As a previously disturbed site that contained a commercial retail use the Subject Site would not have any further impacts that the previous commercial development and would likely result in lesser impacts due to the need for new development to comply with energy efficiency and other environmental standards. Further, a cannabis retail use has similar impacts as other typical commercial uses and would be subject to the same or more restrictive development and operating standards as other commercial uses. Therefore, it can also be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.

CONCLUSION:

It is recommended that the Planning Commission determine the Project categorically exempt from CEQA; approve Conditional Use Permit No. 2024-054 for a planned commercial development, modification of a street side yard setback, and a cannabis retail use through the adoption of Resolution #PC 2024-018; and recommend to the City Council the approval of an ordinance to authorize the City to enter into and execute DA No. 2024-054 through the adoption of Resolution #PC 2024-019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the CUP and DA are approved, the Applicant would be required to make an up -front payment Annual Community Benefit equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) by the effective date of the DA and make an annual contribution every January following the execution of the DA. The Applicant would also be required to submit Quarterly Community Benefits equal to seven percent (7%) of Gross Receipts as defined in the DA upon after operations of commenced. Eighty percent (80%) of these funds would be dedicated to youth and recreational programming and the City's housing programs. Under the DA, the Applicant would also be responsible for Cost Recovery Fees.

GENERAL MOTION TO WAIVE FULL READING AND APPROVE ORDINANCES BY TITLE ONLY PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 36934 DATE: September 9, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council approve a general motion to waive full reading and approve Ordinances by title only pursuant to California Government Code Section 36934.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

In order to expedite the conduct of business at Council meetings, California State Law (California Government Code Section 36934) allows Ordinances to be read by title if a majority of the Council supports the motion waiving the full reading. Most California cities adopt a standard motion at the beginning of each meeting in order to effectuate this waiver.

Since most of the Ordinances introduced and adopted consist of multiple pages of technical language, reading by title only allows the Council to eliminate the communication of redundant information and attend to other matters during the meetings. Otherwise, the entire Ordinance language will have to be read in full.

CONCLUSION:

Allowing ordinances to be read by title only, according to California State Law, will expedite the conduct of business at Council Meetings.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE DIGITAL

EQUITY COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM
DATE: September 9, 2024
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On September 13, 2022, the County of Los Angeles (County) Board of Supervisors (Board) directed the Internal Services Department's Director of Digital Equity to establish the Intergovernmental Broadband Coordination Committee (I BCC) and outlined its scope and goals, including proposing member jurisdictions and engaging stakeholders. The I BCC first convened in March 2024, with Community Development Department staff representing the City as a jurisdictional member. This regional collaborative committee works in partnership to pursue, secure, and implement federal and state grant funding to address the digital divide throughout the region through County -led intergovernmental and cross -sector area coordination.

The I BCC's work is guided by its charter, created by the Director of Digital Equity with input from subject -matter experts and stakeholder interviews to which the City contributed, serves as a unified regional voice, fostering shared responsibility for advancing digital equity and inclusion. It provides ongoing resources and support for its members, including aligning efforts to coordinate federal and state grant funding opportunities, sharing information and knowledge, networking, and offering technical assistance and training.

The City is also a member of the I BCC Southeast Los Angeles Subregion working group. On May 8, 2024, the City participated in discussions to co -create key grant program activities eligible for the California Department of Technology's Digital Equity Capacity and Competitive Grant Program (Program) funding. The Program is a $1.25 billion program that provides federal funding to support efforts to achieve digital equity, promote digital inclusion activities, and spur greater adoption and use of broadband among the covered populations, as defined in the Digital Equity Act (DEA) of 2021 which provided $2.75 billion to establish grant programs that promote digital equity and inclusion.

The I BCC would be the primary recipient of any awarded grant, and the City, a sub -recipient would then receive funding for specific activities to develop, implement, and evaluate broadband Internet and devices distribution outreach, enrollment, and adoption for certain populations, demographics, and to advance digital equity and inclusion.

If awarded, the City would receive $425,596 to carry out efforts promoting access and distribution of devices to 119

households that have internet or home computers. A total of $171,996 to distribute 400 internet-enabled laptop computers and $153,600 to distribute internet-enabled mobile hotspots (with 12 months of free subsidized broadband internet service to the covered populations) would be awarded, if authorized by the City. Per the County's Internal Services Department and the American Community Survey data collected by the U. S. Census Bureau, at least 11`)/0 of Bell Gardens households have no internet subscription and 5.3% have no household computer access.

On August 12, 2024, staff received the initial draft of the binding letter of commitment (LOC) that subrecipients must submit to I BCC to move forward with the program. The LOC is to establish and confirm an obligation with the County by the City to perform the goals intended to help address the digital divide.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to the CEQA, Guidelines Section No. 15060(c)(3), this report is categorically exempt as organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment are exempt from the CEQA since the activity is not defined as a project.

CONCLUSION:

Participation in the program would improve access to broadband connection and bridge the digital divide for Bell Gardens residents via right to use funding, if awarded, to develop, implement, and evaluate broadband internet and devices distribution outreach, enrollment, and adoption activities. Bell Gardens residents could be provided with new or refurbished devices and/or broadband access and distribution at no costs and/or at significantly reduced costs.

Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the LOC on behalf of the City, which would be binding upon the successful issuance of Competitive Grant Program award funding and aid in closing the digital divide, ensuring equitable access to fast, reliable, and affordable internet necessary for accessing education, health care, and participating in economic opportunities and civic life.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City is expected to provide a 10% match of cash OR in -kind contributions of property, goods, or services (Le., staff time) for the $425,596.00 funding allocation, which would total $42,559.60. City staff would allocate working hours to develop and implement plans to address policy and access to inventory, obtain and distribute inventory and certain supplies, and indirect costs would count toward the requirement to match.
