DATE: April 8, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Executing the Purchase and Sale Agreement File No. 422.1 (PSA) with M Power Communications Corporation (the “M Power”) would cause the City to purchase real property located at 16730 Bellflower Boulevard for $1,945,000. The property includes the former M Power building that contains the Chamber of Commerce office, a parking lot containing 29 spaces, and is adjacent to a City-owned public parking lot. Acquiring the property would give the City control over its future use in a manner that contributes to Downtown Bellflower’s economic growth and image.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Open the public hearing; take documentary and testimonial evidence including receiving and filing a report required by Government Code § 52201; and after considering the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 24-16 amending the fiscal year 2023-24 Operating Budget to allocate funds for the property purchase and authorizing the City Manager to execute Purchase and Sale Agreement File No. 422.1, in a form approved by the City Attorney; and

A budget amendment to the 2023-24 fiscal year operating budget is needed to allocate $1,955,000 in the General Fund (Cash Reserve for Property Acquisitions) – Account No. 010-47212-9000 for the purchase of the Property.

PUBLIC NOTICE

On March 22, 2024, a Public Hearing Notice was posted at City Hall, Brakensiek Library, Bellflower Substation, Thompson Park, and Simms Park; also on March 22, 2024, a Public Hearing Notice was published in the Los Cerritos Community News newspaper. - Page 1 of 6 -

Staff Report – Purchase and Sale Agreement File No. 422.1 with M Power April 8, 2024

DISCUSSION

In early March 2024, the property at 16730 Bellflower Boulevard (the “Property”) was put on the market for sale. The Property consists of two parcels containing a 6,198 square foot building (APN 7109-013-800) on a 6,559 square foot parcel, and a parking lot (APN 7109-013-801) on a 17,243 square foot parcel. The building is currently occupied by the Bellflower Chamber of Commerce, which is utilizing 1,500 square feet. The remaining 4,698 square feet is vacant.

Staff believes the purchase of this property, with the right business or developer, represents an important asset and opportunity that will contribute to this area’s economic growth. As part of this process, the City reviewed recent comparable sales in Downtown Bellflower which support the negotiated purchase price of $1,945,000, agreed to by M Power. The purchase and sale agreement represents the terms and conditions of this pending acquisition.

It is the City’s intent to lease or sell the property to a business or developer that will contribute to the economic development of the Downtown Bellflower area. Proceeds from any future leases of the property will be returned to the City’s general fund.

Attached is a Summary Report required by Government Code § 52201 that describes the following:

a) the cost of the agreement to the City;

b) the estimated value of the interest to be conveyed or leased determined at the highest and best uses permitted under the general plan or zoning;

c) if applicable, the estimated value of the interest to be conveyed or leased determined at the use with the conditions, covenants, and development costs required by the sale or lease;

d) the purchase price or present value of the lease payments which the lessee will be required to make during the term of the lease;

e) if the sale price or total rental amount is less than the fair market value of the interest to be conveyed or leased, determined at the highest and best use, then the city shall provide, as part of the summary, an explanation of the reasons for the difference; and

f) an explanation of why the sale or lease of the property will assist in the creation of economic opportunity (as defined by Government Code § 52200.2), with reference to all supporting facts and material relied upon in making this decision.

Seller owns approximately 23,802 square feet of land located at 16730 Bellflower Boulevard on two non- contiguous parcels (APNs 7109-013-800 and 7109-013-801) (“Property”) with a 6,198 square foot building on one of the parcels. The Agreement requires Seller to sell the Property to the City.

The following Summary Report is based upon information required by the Government Code. It is organized into the following three sections:

I. Salient Points of the Agreement: This section summarizes the major responsibilities agreed to by Seller and the City by the Agreement.

II. Cost of the Agreement to the City: This section details the total cost to the City associated with implementing the Agreement.

III. Creation of Economic Opportunity: This section describes the existing condition of the subject property and explains how the Agreement will assist in the creation of economic opportunity.

This report and the Agreement are to be made available for public inspection prior to the approval of the Agreement and no later than the time of publication of the first required notice of the public hearing pursuant to Government Code § 52201.

III. ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

The Property, located at a signalized intersection at the northeast corner of Bellflower Boulevard and Flower Street, is currently partially vacant and owned by Seller and is not currently generating any state or local taxes, as these are non-taxable parcels (public utility). The City intends to market the Property to produce a private development project that will create economic opportunity, as defined by Government Code Section 52200.2, by increasing property tax revenues to all property tax collecting entities by at least 15% at full implementation of a project when compared to the year before the property being acquired by the City.

Significant new development is occurring within the vicinity of the Property. This includes Edgeway Downtown Bellflower, The Mayne Events Center and Los Angeles County Fire Museum, The Bellflower Regional Transit Center and Parking Structure, SteelCraft outdoor food hall, the Downtown Collection townhomes by City Ventures, The Nest Eatery, and The Stand Up Comedy Club. The Site, located in the heart of Downtown Bellflower, is adjacent to a City-owned public parking lot and is within walking distance from several other public parking lots. Additionally, a street improvement project has been awarded by the City to complete improvements on Bellflower Boulevard from Flower Street south to the 91 Freeway.

The Property is served by all major utilities and has only been vacant for approximately six months. A new sales tax generating use utilizing the square footage of the Property could generate between $3,000 and $25,000 in revenue to the City annually. Furthermore, as part of Downtown Bellflower, the property is part of the Downtown Bellflower Revitalization Vision Strategy, the Downtown Bellflower Strategic Development Plan, the Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan Area, and would be eligible for the Bellflower Business Assistance Plan.

CITY OF BELLFLOWER

RESOLUTION NO. 24-16

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AMEND THE
FY 2023-24 OPERATING BUDGET AND EXECUTE A PURCHASE AND
SALE AGREEMENT FILE NO. 422.1 BETWEEN THE CITY OF

BELLFLOWER AND M POWER COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
FOR THE PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 16730
BELLFLOWER BOULEVARD (APN 7109-013-800 AND 7109-013-801)

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELLFLOWER DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. In March 2024, in response to a sales listing, the City of Bellflower made an offer to purchase the property located at 16730 Bellflower Boulevard (APN 7109-013-800 and 7109-013-801) from M Power Communications Corporation for a purchase price of $1,945,000;

B. Based on a review of recent comparable sales in Downtown Bellflower in March 2024, the City verified the negotiated price for the 16730 Bellflower Boulevard (“Property”) as a fair market purchase price;

C. M Power Communications Corporation desires to convey the Property to the City of Bellflower for a purchase price of $1,945,000, which represents a fair market value for the Property per the City’s review of recent comparable sales in Downtown Bellflower;

D. As set forth in the accompanying report (as required by Government Code § 52201) the City believes that the Property is an important asset that contributes to the economic activity in Downtown Bellflower. Accordingly, the City Council desires to purchase the Property; and

E. Toward that end, the City and M Power Communications Corporation desire to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Property.

SECTION 2. Environmental Assessment. Adopting this Resolution is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”).

Acquisition of the Property (by itself) does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment. Consequently, it is categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3) as CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. Additionally, acquiring the property would result in minor (if any) alterations to existing facilities involving no significant expansion of the existing use. Acquiring the Property – by itself – would not have any significant impacts with regard to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. There are adequate utilities and public services to serve the Property. Any future redevelopment of the Property would require separate environmental review and either discretionary or - Page 5 of 6 -

The City Manager, or designee, is directed to file a Notice of Determination in accordance with Public Resources Code §§ 21152, 21167(f); CEQA Guidelines § 15075; and any other applicable law..

In order to effectuate that conveyance, the Mayor and City Manager are authorized to execute all documents, in a form approved by the City Attorney, needed to implement the conveyance of the Property as contemplated by this Resolution including, without limitation, escrow instructions, the grant deed, closing statement, and the certificate of acceptance. The City Manager is further authorized to accept the grant deed and cause them to be recorded in the Office of the County Recorder of the County of Los Angeles after they are executed by M Power Communications Corporation.

SECTION 4. The City Manager, or designee, is directed to amend the FY 2023-2024 Operating Budget to allocate $1,955,000 in the General Fund Account No. 010-47212-9000 to account for the acquisition of property.

SECTION 5. Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 6. The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby authorized to affix his signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Bellflower, and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, is directed to attest thereto.

SECTION 7. This Resolution will become effective immediately upon adoption and will remain effective unless repealed or superseded.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BELLFLOWER THIS 8h DAY OF APRIL 2024.

On July 11, 2022, the City Council amended the Economic Development Business Assistance Plan, adding three business assistance programs: the Designated Block Downtown Façade Improvement Program; the Downtown Artisan (Small Scal e Manufacturing) Rental Assistance Program; and the Small Business Microloan Program.

The City’s business assistance programs are consolidated into the Business Assistance Plan. The Plan is organized into Chapters making it efficient for staff and City Council to assist business and property owners to help with the City’s economic improvement..

Staff is recommending the Plan be amended to include two new programs: Downtown Restaurant Assistance Program for Regulatory Requirements (Chapter 2.3) and the Chamber of Commerce New Business Welcoming Program (Chapter 6). Additionally, the Business Assistance Plan guidelines were reviewed and minor updates were made, most notable of which are the expansion of the Restaurant and Retail Assistance, Expansion, and Modernization program (Chapters 2.1, 2.2) citywide; the consolidation of Chapter 3.1 into one city-wide façade improvement program; and added flexibility in the loan matching requirements.

In 2013, Senate Bill No. 470 was approved by the Governor, which provided local governments the ability to use local funds to conduct economic development activities after the dissolution of redevelopment. This bill added Section 52200 to the Government Code, Economic Opportunity. Under this code section, Economic Opportunity includes:
(a) job creation, retention, or expansion; (b) an increase in property tax revenue; (c) creation of affordable housing; (d) sustainable communities projects; and (e) transit priority projects. The programs in the Plan meet the job creation, retention, and expansion requirement of Government Code Section 52200.

Staff Report – Economic Development Business Assistance Plan April 8, 2024

DISCUSSION – Continued

Downtown Restaurant Assistance Program for Regulatory Requirements (Chapter 2.3)

Chapter 2.3 is intended to maintain the success of existing businesses. In some instances, such businesses may have expanded too rapidly or been challenged with unexpected federal, state, or local government requirements. In such circumstances, the City’s assistance is necessary to ensure that otherwise successful businesses are not prematurely closed. In sum, Chapter 2.3 allows the City Council to grant not more than $20,000 annually to successful dining establishments that are under threat of closure for failure to adhere with federal, state, or local regulations as to sales tax. Under no circumstances will the City grant more than a total of $100,000 to any individual grantee.

Potential grantees must have generated a minimum of $1,000,000 in annual gross revenues during the the twelve months before filing its application. Additionally, the grant will immediately terminate upon the grantee’s closure for longer than two weeks; upon any transfer of ownership; if outstanding sales tax debt is satisfied by other means; or if the grantee doesn’t not stay current with ongoing quarterly sales tax payments or any previously arranged payment schedules with the Board of Equalization.

Applications will be selected for City Council consideration by the Economic Development Department based on the completion of the application and required attachments, as well as how the proposed improvements meet the goals and objectives of the Plan. All applications will require final approval from the City Council.

Chamber of Commerce New Business Welcoming Program (Chapter 6)

This program is an endeavor by the City, in partnership with the Bellflower Chamber of Commerce (Chamber), to leverage public and private funds in an effort to provide practical resources to the Bellflower business community to encourage economic growth citywide. This Program offers reimbursement to the Chamber for the cost of each new business’s first year of membership, including a new business Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, planned and executed by Chamber staff.

Based upon available funding, as determined by the City’s current budget, reimbursement to the Chamber for memberships is available for qualifying business establishments for not more than a maximum one-time amount of $220 for one year of Chamber membership. The reimbursement amount up to a maximum of $220 is based on each business’s number of employees pursuant to the Chamber’s Annual Membership Cost schedule.

THE CITY COUNCIL RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

A. On October 8, 2013, the Governor signed Senate Bill No. 470 Community development: economic opportunity, in an effort to promote economic development on a local level so that communities can enact local strategies to increase jobs, create economic opportunity, and generate tax revenue for all levels of government;

B. On July 11, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22 -34 which, among other things, restated the Economic Development Business Assistance Plan by consolidating a number of business assistance programs into one Business Assistance Plan.

C. On June 14, 2023, the City Council approved the City’s Operating Budget for Fiscal Years 2023-24 and 2024-25, in which $885,000 was approved over two years for special economic development programs related to marketing, business retention, tenant improvements, web/social media business support, façade/sign improvements, restaurant attraction, and other financial assistance to business operators and developers;

D. This Resolution amends the City’s Economic Development Business Assistance Plan (the “Plan”) which governs policies and procedures for distributing economic development funds and is necessary to implement the public purpose set forth in Government Code Section 52200, et. seq.

E. The budgeted and allocated amounts of funds for the economic programs described above is limited, and this Resolution is intended to establish a Business Assistance Plan that is reasonably equitable for all applicants;

F. On April 8, 2024, the City Council held a public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the proposed Plan, without limitation, information provided to the City Council by the Economic Development Director and public testimony; and

G. Notice of Public Hearing before the City Council was duly given and published in the time, form, and manner as required by law;

- Page 4 of 27 -

City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 24-19

H. The findings in this Resolution are made based on the entire administrative record including testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at its April 8, 2024, public hearing including, without limitation, the staff reports submitted by the Economic Development Director.

SECTION 2. Environmental Assessment. The City reviewed the environmental impacts of this activity under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal.

Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(3), and 15378 exempt activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, activities where there is possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, and activities that do not constitute a “project” as defined, respectively. This Resolution is for general policies and procedure-making. Any subsequent funding request made pursuant to the Plan ordinance will be evaluated separately under the CEQA Guidelines. Accordingly, this Resolution is exempt from further review.

SECTION 3. Adoption; supersession. This Resolution supersedes Resolution No. 22-34 and adopts the restated Bellflower Economic Development Business Assistance Plan which is attached as Exhibit “A,” and incorporated by reference.

SECTION 4. Administration. The City Manager, or designee, is authorized to administer the Plan and authorized to promulgate such administrative policies and procedures that are needed to implement the Plan. All Applications submitted under the Plan must be approved by the City Council.

SECTION 5. This Resolution does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before, this Resolution’s effective date. Any such amended part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Resolution.

SECTION 6. Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts were made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 7. Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.

SECTION 9. Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its Application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.

11-D
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

FROM: Ryan Smoot, City Manager

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing to consider providing direction to staff regarding a City Charter ballot measure.

DATE: April 8, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In February 2019, the City Council formed a community subcommittee comprised of two Council Members and seven citizens to consider drafting a charter for the City of Bellflower. After conducting four meetings, the Subcommittee provided charter language recommendations to the City Council in October 2019. In May 2022, there were two special City Council meetings regarding potential ballot measures for the November 8, 2022 General Election. At the first Special Meeting on May 3, 2022, the current draft of the Bellflower City Charter was provided to the City Council for consideration as a potential ballot measure. At the May 23, 2022, Special City Council Meeting, the City Council requested that Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates, Inc. (FM3) conduct a voter survey relative to a potential City Charter ballot measure. FM3 conducted the voter survey and presented the survey results to the City Council at the July 11, 2022, Regular City Council meeting. Due to noticing and timing constraints, the charter ballot measure was not able to proceed during the November 2022 Election cycle. Staff is requesting direction from the City Council relative to adding this potential ballot measure to the November 5, 2024 Election ballot. If the City Council decides to proceed with the ballot measure, a second public hearing would need to be held on May 13, 2024.

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1) Open the public hearing, take testimonial and documentary evidence, and after considering the evidence, direct staff to draft the necessary documents to add a City Charter ballot measure to the November 5, 2024 Election ballot; or

2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT

The estimated cost to add a citywide ballot measure to the November 5, 2024, Election ballot is $175,000. Funds are budgeted in Account No. 010-43600-1210.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jeffrey L. Stewart, City Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to consider placing a ballot measure for consideration by the voters on the November 8, 2022 General Election ballot by adopting the following Resolutions:

Resolution No. 22-39 – A Resolution adding a proposition to the ballot for the previously called November 8, 2022, General Municipal Election pursuant to Elections Code § 9222; and
Resolution No. 22-40 – A Resolution requesting the Board of Supervisors of the County of Los Angeles to add a measure contest to the previously consolidated General Municipal Election to be held on November 8, 2022, with the General Election to be held on that date pursuant to Elections Code § 10403; and
Resolution No. 22-41 – A Resolution directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis of the proposition seeking voter approval for a City Charter; and
Resolution No. 22-42 – A Resolution establishing requirements for ballot arguments filed with the City Clerk to be included with voter information for the General Municipal Election on November 8, 2022.

DATE: July 11, 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the May 23, 2022 Special City Council Meeting, the City Council requested that Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates, Inc. (FM3) conduct a voter survey relative to a potential City Charter ballot measure. FM3 has conducted the voter survey and will present the survey results to the City Council at the July 11, 2022, Regular City Council meeting. The results will be presented by FM3 Consultant Richard Bernard.

If the City Council chooses to have the City Charter added as a ballot measure for the November 8, 2022 General Election, it would take the actions recommended in this Staff Report.
1--3-

Staff Report – Potential City Charter Ballot Measure
July 11, 2022

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL

1. Adopt Resolution Nos. 22-39 through 22-42;

2. Approve a budget amendment to appropriate $190,000 in Account No. 010-43602- 1210.

3. If desirable, designate one or more Council Members to draft an argument in favor of the ballot proposition; or

4. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

These actions are exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act California Public Resources Code §§ 2100, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA regulations 14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because they do not involve any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and constitute an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, the Proposition does not constitute a “project” that requires environmental review see specifically 14 Cal. Code of Regs. § 15378(b)(4-5)).

FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated cost charged by the County of Los Angeles to add the ballot measure to the November 8, 2022 ballot is $165,503.07 . The cost includes a city-wide reach of voters.

A ballot measure will also require more printed materials in the Official Sample Ballot, which may increase the cost. A budget amendment is proposed to provide totaling funding of $190,000.

If the City Charter is approved by Bellflower voters, there could be potential savings for non-traditional infrastructure projects (e.g., Bellflower Business Assistance Plan projects).

DISCUSSION
A “City Charter” is a document that defines the city’s powers, functions and essential procedures of a city government. It is comparable to the Constitution of the United States or a state’s constitution. Being a charter city allows a city to exercise full authority over the municipal affairs of the City. As a general law City, the City must usually comply with all California laws regardless of the City’s local needs or goals.

Becoming a charter city would give the City – and City Council – greater local authority over Bellflower’s municipal affairs. This proposed ballot measure would establish Bellflower as a charter city to provide more local control in determining land use and contracts with vendors.
2--4-

Staff Report – Potential City Charter Ballot Measure
July 11, 2022

DISCUSSION – Continued
About one-quarter of California cities are charter cities, including Downey, Cerritos, Long Beach, Whittier, and Signal Hill.

The measure does not give the City Council additional powers to raise taxes. Any tax measures must conform with the California Constitution and will still need voter approval.

The City would have increased protection against unwanted state laws that are not in the best interests of the City.

Becoming a charter city could potentially reduce the City’s costs and improve efficiency for infrastructure contracts related to Bellflower’s Business Assistance Plan, neighborhood revitalization, and creating housing for working- and middle-class individuals and families. This could save the City substantial amounts of taxpayer dollars each year—funds that could be used for other vital city services.

BACKGROUND
In February 2019, the City Council formed a community subcommittee comprised of two Council Members and seven citizens to consider drafting a charter for the City of Bellflower. The underlying basis for this action was the California Legislature’s ongoing efforts to limit local control over traditional City functions. After conducting four meetings, the Subcommittee provided charter language recommendations to the City Council in October 2019. The October 28, 2019, Special City Council Meeting Staff Report on the Subcommittee’s recommendations is attached for reference. At the October 2019 Special City Council Meeting, the City Council requested minor amendments to the City Charter, which were incorporated into the Charter document. Ultimately, it was decided by the City Council in June 2020 to place the City Charter on hold.

In May 2022, there were two special City Council meetings regarding potential ballot measures for the November 8, 2022 General Election. At the first Special Meeting on May 3, 2022, the current draft of the Bellflower City Charter was provided to the City Council for consideration as a potential ballot measure. At this meeting, the City Attorney noted that an amendment to Section 7.C was made to the Charter which clarifies that the City would adhere to the established prevailing wage as opposed to implementing its own maintenance related types of wages for “public projects erecting, improving, painting, or repairing public buildings and projects.” Following discussion, it was the consensus of the City Council to accept the revised City Charter presented in the agenda packet and to receive input from Consultant Richard Bernard of Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates, Inc. (FM3). At the May 23, 2022 Special City Council Meeting, the City Council requested that FM3 conduct a voter survey relative to a potential City Charter ballot measure.

FM3 has conducted the voter survey and will present the survey results to the City Council at the July 11, 2022, Regular City Council meeting. The results will be presented by FM3 Consultant Richard Bernard. If the City Council chooses to have the City Charter added as a ballot measure for the November 8, 2022 General Election, it would take the actions recommended in this Staff Report.

CHARTER FOR THE

CITY OF

BELLFLOWER
I. Preamble
We, the People of the City of Bellflower,
do not yield our sovereignty to public
officials who serve them. The need for
the People’s consent to be governed is
inherent within our democracy. It is only
the People in the City of Bellflower who
can determine the course of the City’s
destiny and vigilantly exercise all powers
not specifically granted to the City by this
Charter. In adopting this Charter,
therefore, the People delegate authority
for governance to locally elected and
appointed officials who must faithfully
serve the residents of the City of
Bellflower. By doing so, the People
assert their desire for local control over
the City’s municipal affairs; their freedom
to decide their own destiny; and their
rejection of efforts by agencies outside of
the City’s jurisdiction seeking to impose
policies upon the City’s residents without
their approval.

II. Municipal Affairs; Generally.

The City of Bellflower has the power to
make and enforce all laws respecting its
municipal affairs as described by this
Charter and established by the California
Constitution, California statute, or
judicially defined laws. This power is
limited only as set forth in this Charter
and the California Constitution. Such
powers are in addition to those granted
or prescribed by any applicable law for
municipal corporations within the state of
California. Each of the responsibilities of
governance set forth and described in
this Charter, and as established by the
Constitutional, statutory and judicially
defined law of the State of California, is
declared to be a municipal affair or
concern, the performance of which is
unique to the benefit of the residents of
the City of Bellflower. Enumeration by
this Charter of any particular power does
not constitute a limitation upon the City’s
general grant of powers under applicable
law.

III. General Laws; City Council
Authority.

A. General Laws. In addition to the
powers granted by this Charter and the
California Constitution, the City has the
power and authority to adopt, make,
exercise and enforce all legislation, laws
and regulations and to take all actions
and to exercise any and all rights,
powers, and privileges heretofore or
hereafter established, granted or
prescribed by any law of the State of
California or by any other lawful authority.

In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Charter and the
provisions of the general laws of the
State of California, the provisions of this
Charter control.

B. Enactment of Laws; Exercise of
Authority. Elected and appointed officials
who exercise the powers granted by this
Charter are prohibited from favoring or
unlawfully discriminating against persons
based upon a legally protected
classification; socio-economic status; or
cultural heritage. When enacting laws
pursuant to this Charter, the City Council
must include a finding that such laws will
not unduly burden a person’s ability to
pursue economic opportunities and safe
and legal residential housing.
7--9-

C. Land Use. Except as otherwise
provided by City Council ordinance, the
City is governed by California law as it
applies to general law cities with respect
to the application, interpretation and
enforcement of land use matters
including, without limitation, the
requirement of consistency between the
General Plan and zoning regulations.

IV. Governance; Elections.

A. City Council. The City Council is
comprised of five persons elected in
accordance with this Charter and
applicable law. Except as otherwise
provided by applicable law, persons
currently holding office, and within six
months after holding office, are ineligible
to hold any other office or employment
with the City. Except as otherwise
provided by this Charter or the California
Constitution, the City Council is vested
with all powers of the City.

B. City Council Compensation. The
City Council is prohibited from adopting
regulations that would result in
compensating elected officials in an
amount greater than allowed by
California law regulating general law
cities. Nothing in this Charter requires the
City Council to receive any
compensation; the City Council may, by
resolution, opt to forego compensation of
any kind.

C. Officers. The City’s officers are the
five members of the City Council, the City
Manager, the City Attorney, and the City
Clerk. The City Council will appoint the
City Manager, City Attorney, and City
Clerk.

D. Districts. Any change to district
elections as it exists at the time this
Charter becomes effective must be made
by ordinance adopted by a four-fifths vote
of all members of the City Council.

E. Emergency Services
Coordination. The City Council will
review the City’s local emergency
preparedness plan on a regular basis in
accordance with California law.

F. Reconsideration. Beginning in the
year 2021, when decennial census data
gathered pursuant to Article 1, Section 2
of the United State Constitution becomes
available, the City Council may hold a
public hearing to determine whether to
change the manner of district voting in
accordance with IV(D) of this Charter and
then applicable law.

V. Revenue.

The City Council is authorized to, by
ordinance or resolution, establish
standards, procedures, rules or
regulations to identify, solicit, receive, or
generate revenue for the public benefit of
any kind. In doing so, the City Council is
specifically (but without limitation)
authorized to undertake the following
actions:

A. Public Financing. The City, by
ordinance, may establish standards,
procedures, rules or regulations related
to any public financing.

B. Franchises. The City, by
ordinance, may acquire, develop, or
operate any public utility. It may also, by
ordinance, grant franchises to a public
utility that proposes to use or is using
public streets, highways or other rights-
of-way.
8--10-

C. Enterprises. The City may own
and operate any enterprise the City
Council finds necessary to benefit the
public welfare.

D. Fiscal Responsibility and Stability.

The City must maintain sustainable
public finances; ensure City policies aids
economic growth; and invest appropriate
levels of public resources to support
infrastructure, recreation, and public
safety. While doing so, the City Council
must ensure that it holds at least 20% of
the City’s general fund revenue in
reserves. Upon declaring a fiscal
emergency by 4/5 vote, the City Council
may reduce this percentage to a level
that is reasonable under the
circumstances of the fiscal emergency.

VI. Intergovernmental Immunity.

A. City Revenues. All revenues
generated or collected by the City for any
public purpose cannot be involuntarily
retained, attached, withdrawn or
otherwise taken by any other
governmental entity including, without
limitation, the state of California or any of
its subdivisions.

B. Uncompensated Mandates.

Elected or appointed person acting on
the City’s behalf cannot be compelled to
perform services by any other
governmental entity including, without
limitation, the state of California or any of
its subdivisions, without adequate
compensation.

VII. Public Works Projects.

The City Council may, by ordinance,
establish standards, procedures, rules or
regulations to regulate all aspects of the
bidding, award and performance of any
public works contract, including, without
limitation, the compensation rates to be
paid for the performance of such work. In
doing so, the City Council should utilize
best practices, avoid discrimination,
encourage diversity, and may
incorporate the following concepts:

A. Projects must be competitively
bid. Contracts should be awarded to the
lowest responsible bidder as defined in
this Charter or the City should reject all
bids. The lowest responsible bidder may
be selected on the basis of the best value
to the City.

B. “Best value” means a
procurement process whereby the lowest
responsible bidder may be selected on
the basis of objective criteria for
evaluating the qualifications of bidders
with the resulting selection representing
the best combination of price and
qualifications.

C. Wages. The City Council may
establish criteria to determine whether a
project qualifies for payment of a
minimum wage different than that
ordinarily prevailing for work performed
on public works projects as defined by
California law. In lieu of paying a
minimum prevailing wage generally
required by California law for public
works projects, the City Council may
enter into a “project labor agreement”
that establishes terms and conditions of
employment for a specific construction
project or projects and is an agreement
described in 29 United States Code §
158(f). Notwithstanding any other part of
this Section, the City Council must pay
prevailing wage for public projects
erecting, improving, painting, or repairing
public buildings and projects.
9--11-

VIII. Interpretation; City Council
Authority; Continuity of Existing
Laws.

A. Construction and Interpretation.

This Charter must be broadly construed
in order to achieve its purposes. It is the
intent of the voters that the provisions of
this Charter be interpreted and
implemented by the City in a manner that
liberally facilitates the City’s exercise of
powers regarding any matter that
constitutes a municipal affair.

B. The People acknowledge that
new information and future events may
demonstrate that interpretation of this
Charter is appropriate with respect to the
details of implementing this Charter. The
People desire, therefore, to retain a
certain degree of flexibility with respect to
the details of implementing those items
addressed in general terms in this
Charter. If and when, from time to time,
the City Council finds that interpretation
of this Charter is necessary, then such
interpretation may be accomplished by
written resolution adopted upon four-
fifths vote of all members of City Council.

C. City Council Authority. Except for
amendments that would frustrate the
powers and authority set forth in this
Charter, the City Council may exercise all
applicable powers set forth in the
California Government Code including,
without limitation, implementing all
aspects of this Charter by ordinance or
resolution.

D. Continuity. Nothing in this Charter
is intended to, nor does it, repeal any
provision of the Bellflower Municipal
Code as it existed on the effective date of
this Charter. Nor does the Charter affect
any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred
before, or preclude prosecution and
imposition of penalties for any violation
occurring before this Charter’s effective
date.

E. Severability. If any part of this
Charter or its application is deemed
invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the People intend that such
invalidity will not affect the effectiveness
of the remaining provisions or
applications and, to this end, the
provisions of this Charter are severable.

F. Invalidity. If any portion of this
Charter is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, we the People
indicate our strong desire that: (i) the City
Council use its best efforts to sustain and
reenact that portion, and (ii) the City
Council implement this Charter by taking
all steps possible to cure any
inadequacies or deficiencies identified by
the court in a manner consistent with the
express and implied intent of this
Charter, and then adopting or reenacting
such portion as necessary or desirable to
implement this Charter.

G. Amendment. Any amendment to
this Charter must be accomplished by
then existing California law and with a
majority of voter approval.

CHARTER FOR THE

CITY OF

BELLFLOWER
I. Preamble
We, the People of the City of Bellflower,
do not yield our sovereignty to public
officials who serve them. The need for
the People’s consent to be governed is
inherent within our democracy. It is only
the People in the City of Bellflower who
can determine the course of the City’s
destiny and vigilantly exercise all powers
not specifically granted to the City by this
Charter. In adopting this Charter,
therefore, the People delegate authority
for governance to locally elected and
appointed officials who must faithfully
serve the residents of the City of
Bellflower. By doing so, the People
assert their desire for local control over
the City’s municipal affairs; their freedom
to decide their own destiny; and their
rejection of efforts by agencies outside of
the City’s jurisdiction seeking to impose
policies upon the City’s residents without
their approval.

II. Municipal Affairs; Generally.

The City of Bellflower has the power to
make and enforce all laws respecting its
municipal affairs as described by this
Charter and established by the California
Constitution, California statute, or
judicially defined laws. This power is
limited only as set forth in this Charter
and the California Constitution. Such
powers are in addition to those granted
or prescribed by any applicable law for
municipal corporations within the state of
California. Each of the responsibilities of
governance set forth and described in
this Charter, and as established by the
Constitutional, statutory and judicially
defined law of the State of California, is
declared to be a municipal affair or
concern, the performance of which is
unique to the benefit of the residents of
the City of Bellflower. Enumeration by
this Charter of any particular power does
not constitute a limitation upon the City’s
general grant of powers under applicable
law.

III. General Laws; City Council
Authority.

A. General Laws. In addition to the
powers granted by this Charter and the
California Constitution, the City has the
power and authority to adopt, make,
exercise and enforce all legislation, laws
and regulations and to take all actions
and to exercise any and all rights,
powers, and privileges heretofore or
hereafter established, granted or
prescribed by any law of the State of
California or by any other lawful authority.

In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Charter and the
provisions of the general laws of the
State of California, the provisions of this
Charter control.

B. Enactment of Laws; Exercise of
Authority. Elected and appointed officials
who exercise the powers granted by this
Charter are prohibited from favoring or
unlawfully discriminating against persons
based upon a legally protected
classification; socio-economic status; or
cultural heritage. When enacting laws
pursuant to this Charter, the City Council
must include a finding that such laws will
not unduly burden a person’s ability to
pursue economic opportunities and safe
and legal residential housing.
15--17-

C. Land Use. Except as otherwise
provided by City Council ordinance, the
City is governed by California law as it
applies to general law cities with respect
to the application, interpretation and
enforcement of land use matters
including, without limitation, the
requirement of consistency between the
General Plan and zoning regulations.

IV. Governance; Elections.

A. City Council. The City Council is
comprised of five persons elected in
accordance with this Charter and
applicable law. Except as otherwise
provided by applicable law, persons
currently holding office, and within six
months after holding office, are ineligible
to hold any other office or employment
with the City. Except as otherwise
provided by this Charter or the California
Constitution, the City Council is vested
with all powers of the City.

B. City Council Compensation. The
City Council is prohibited from adopting
regulations that would result in
compensating elected officials in an
amount greater than allowed by
California law regulating general law
cities. Nothing in this Charter requires the
City Council to receive any
compensation; the City Council may, by
resolution, opt to forego compensation of
any kind.

C. Officers. The City’s officers are the
five members of the City Council, the City
Manager, the City Attorney, and the City
Clerk. The City Council will appoint the
City Manager, City Attorney, and City
Clerk.

D. Districts. Any change to district
elections as it exists at the time this
Charter becomes effective must be made
by ordinance adopted by a four-fifths vote
of all members of the City Council.

E. Emergency Services
Coordination. The City Council will
review the City’s local emergency
preparedness plan on a regular basis in
accordance with California law.

F. Reconsideration. Beginning in the
year 2021, when decennial census data
gathered pursuant to Article 1, Section 2
of the United State Constitution becomes
available, the City Council may hold a
public hearing to determine whether to
change the manner of district voting in
accordance with IV(D) of this Charter and
then applicable law.

V. Revenue.

The City Council is authorized to, by
ordinance or resolution, establish
standards, procedures, rules or
regulations to identify, solicit, receive, or
generate revenue for the public benefit of
any kind. In doing so, the City Council is
specifically (but without limitation)
authorized to undertake the following
actions:

A. Public Financing. The City, by
ordinance, may establish standards,
procedures, rules or regulations related
to any public financing.

B. Franchises. The City, by
ordinance, may acquire, develop, or
operate any public utility. It may also, by
ordinance, grant franchises to a public
utility that proposes to use or is using
public streets, highways or other rights-
of-way.
16--18-

C. Enterprises. The City may own
and operate any enterprise the City
Council finds necessary to benefit the
public welfare.

D. Fiscal Responsibility and Stability.

The City must maintain sustainable
public finances; ensure City policies aids
economic growth; and invest appropriate
levels of public resources to support
infrastructure, recreation, and public
safety. While doing so, the City Council
must ensure that it holds at least 20% of
the City’s general fund revenue in
reserves. Upon declaring a fiscal
emergency by 4/5 vote, the City Council
may reduce this percentage to a level
that is reasonable under the
circumstances of the fiscal emergency.

VI. Intergovernmental Immunity.

A. City Revenues. All revenues
generated or collected by the City for any
public purpose cannot be involuntarily
retained, attached, withdrawn or
otherwise taken by any other
governmental entity including, without
limitation, the state of California or any of
its subdivisions.

B. Uncompensated Mandates.

Elected or appointed person acting on
the City’s behalf cannot be compelled to
perform services by any other
governmental entity including, without
limitation, the state of California or any of
its subdivisions, without adequate
compensation.

VII. Public Works Projects.

The City Council may, by ordinance,
establish standards, procedures, rules or
regulations to regulate all aspects of the
bidding, award and performance of any
public works contract, including, without
limitation, the compensation rates to be
paid for the performance of such work. In
doing so, the City Council should utilize
best practices, avoid discrimination,
encourage diversity, and may
incorporate the following concepts:

A. Projects must be competitively
bid. Contracts should be awarded to the
lowest responsible bidder as defined in
this Charter or the City should reject all
bids. The lowest responsible bidder may
be selected on the basis of the best value
to the City.

B. “Best value” means a
procurement process whereby the lowest
responsible bidder may be selected on
the basis of objective criteria for
evaluating the qualifications of bidders
with the resulting selection representing
the best combination of price and
qualifications.

C. Wages. The City Council may
establish criteria to determine whether a
project qualifies for payment of a
minimum wage different than that
ordinarily prevailing for work performed
on public works projects as defined by
California law. In lieu of paying a
minimum prevailing wage generally
required by California law for public
works projects, the City Council may
enter into a “project labor agreement”
that establishes terms and conditions of
employment for a specific construction
project or projects and is an agreement
described in 29 United States Code §
158(f). Notwithstanding any other part of
this Section, the City Council must pay
prevailing wage for public projects
erecting, improving, painting, or repairing
public buildings and projects.
17--19-

VIII. Interpretation; City Council
Authority; Continuity of Existing
Laws.

A. Construction and Interpretation.

This Charter must be broadly construed
in order to achieve its purposes. It is the
intent of the voters that the provisions of
this Charter be interpreted and
implemented by the City in a manner that
liberally facilitates the City’s exercise of
powers regarding any matter that
constitutes a municipal affair.

B. The People acknowledge that
new information and future events may
demonstrate that interpretation of this
Charter is appropriate with respect to the
details of implementing this Charter. The
People desire, therefore, to retain a
certain degree of flexibility with respect to
the details of implementing those items
addressed in general terms in this
Charter. If and when, from time to time,
the City Council finds that interpretation
of this Charter is necessary, then such
interpretation may be accomplished by
written resolution adopted upon four-
fifths vote of all members of City Council.

C. City Council Authority. Except for
amendments that would frustrate the
powers and authority set forth in this
Charter, the City Council may exercise all
applicable powers set forth in the
California Government Code including,
without limitation, implementing all
aspects of this Charter by ordinance or
resolution.

D. Continuity. Nothing in this Charter
is intended to, nor does it, repeal any
provision of the Bellflower Municipal
Code as it existed on the effective date of
this Charter. Nor does the Charter affect
any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred
before, or preclude prosecution and
imposition of penalties for any violation
occurring before this Charter’s effective
date.

E. Severability. If any part of this
Charter or its application is deemed
invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the People intend that such
invalidity will not affect the effectiveness
of the remaining provisions or
applications and, to this end, the
provisions of this Charter are severable.

F. Invalidity. If any portion of this
Charter is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, we the People
indicate our strong desire that: (i) the City
Council use its best efforts to sustain and
reenact that portion, and (ii) the City
Council implement this Charter by taking
all steps possible to cure any
inadequacies or deficiencies identified by
the court in a manner consistent with the
express and implied intent of this
Charter, and then adopting or reenacting
such portion as necessary or desirable to
implement this Charter.

G. Amendment. Any amendment to
this Charter must be accomplished by
then existing California law and with a
majority of voter approval.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
ATTENTION: Karl H. Berger, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Suppemental Report for Item No. 13-B.

DATE: July 11, 2022

RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1)Receive and file the survey results from Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates, Inc. (FM3) regarding a potential City Charter ballot measure; 2)Receive and file this report. Then take no further action; and 3) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City will save $165,503.07 by not taking the actions recommended in Agenda Item No. 13-B.

DISCUSSION
Agenda Item No. 13-B recommends placing a City Charter onto the ballot for voter consideration on November 8, 2022. It also recommends receiving survey results from Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates, Inc. (FM3) regarding that potential ballot measure.

In preparing for the July 11, 2022, I reviewed the City Council’s past actions for drafting and considering the proposed City Charter. Between 2018 and 2022, the City Council held six meetings (3/26/2018; 2/11/2019; 3/11/2019; 10/28/2019; 5/3/22; and 5/23/22) to review, discuss, and ultimately approve the draft Charter included in Item No. 13-B.

Unfortunately, none of these meetings were noticed or conducted as a public hearing.

When the City Council first began consideration of this issue in 2018, an internal schedule of dates was drafted based upon the California statutes that govern the method by which a Charter may be approved by voters (see, p.3). That was subsequently amended in 2018 as an internal working document with revised dates (see, p.4).

A of U-36-

Staff Report – City Charter
July 8, 2022

For various reasons, the City Council postponed additional consideration of the City Charter from 2018 until 2019. Between October 2019 and now, however, the internal public hearing schedule was not updated.

California law is very particular regarding the noticing requirements and method for public hearings involving adopting a city charter (a minimum of two public hearings; 21 days for noticing the public hearings; 30 days must elapse between the first and second public hearing; matter may be placed onto the ballot 21 days after the second public hearing).

Based upon those statutes, it is apparent that there is insufficient time to conduct the public hearings and place this matter onto the ballot before the August 2022 deadline established by the Elections Code: a minimum of 51 days is needed but there are only 31 days (from July 11th) until the Elections Code deadline for placing matters on the ballot.

Accordingly, it is recommended that the City Council not take the action recommended in Agenda Item No. 13-B other than to receive and file the survey results from FM3.

If the City Council wishes to proceed with the Charter issue, then the public hearing processes would commence in late 2023 to be completed in time for the November 2024 general statewide election. That is the next election date allowed for a new city charter per Elections Code § 1415.

7 Potential City Charter Measure
Q3. If there were an election today, do you think you would vote “yes” in favor of this measure or “no” to oppose it? Shall the Bellflower City Charter to enhance
local control over municipal affairs and
better challenge efforts by agencies outside of
the City’s jurisdictions seeking to impose policies
upon the City’s residents without local approval
and requiring all changes to the charter be
approved by voters, be adopted?

10 Background Description
Q5. Having heard this, do you think you would vote “yes” in favor of this measure to establish Bellflower as a charter city, or “no” to oppose it? Currently, Bellflower is a general law city, meaning that the California Legislature makes generic laws governing the City. Becoming a charter city would give more local authority over Bellflower regulations which are tailored to the specific needs of the community. This measure would establish Bellflower as a charter city to provide more local control in determining land use and contracts with
vendors. About one-quarter of California cities are charter cities, including Downey, Cerritos, Long Beach, Whittier, and Signal Hill.
-51-

11 After a brief description of the measure,
overall support increases 25 percentage points and
those having said they would definitely vote yes
increases 21 percentage points – well above the
simple majority threshold needed for passage.

The fact that other Gateway cities have become charter
cities; that it will better protect local control on building and land use; and that it will allow the city to be more efficient on infrastructure/revitalization projects and the creation of housing are among leading reasons to support the measure.

(Ranked by Total More Inclined to Vote Yes)
(OTHER CITIES) 8 neighboring Gateway cities, including Downey, Cerritos, Long Beach, Whittier, and Signal Hill, have become charter cities to give them more local control and protect the character and quality of life in their communities. We should do the same. (DEVELOPMENT) Becoming a charter city will give Bellflower and its residents more local control over how and where we build more affordable housing-rather than taking orders from the state to build housing developments that have no size or height limits and no parking and traffic control standards.

(COST OF CONTRACTS) Becoming a charter city could potentially reduce the City's costs and improve efficiency for infrastructure contracts related to Bellflower's Business Assistance Program, neighborhood revitalization, and creating housing for working- and middle-class individuals and families. This could save the City significant amounts of taxpayer dollars each year-funds that could be used for other vital city services.
(NO NEW TAX) This measure does not give the City Council the power to raise our taxes. As is the law now, any new tax measure would have to be approved by voters.
(BELLFLOWER FIRST) Becoming a charter city will allow Bellflower to create laws that put our residents and City first. We will have increased protection against unwanted state laws handed down from Sacramento that are not in the best interest of our city. -55-

(ANTI-HOUSING) Bellflower housing prices are out of control.

But the City is just trying to pass this charter measure to get around state requirements to build more housing that is affordable to seniors and working individuals and families.
(NO RULES) Becoming a charter city makes it easier for corrupt politicians to line their pockets at our expense. They have greater authority to raise their own pay and give political favors and lucrative city contracts to their corporate special interest and wealthy friends. We've seen this happen before in places like Bell, a city that quickly went bankrupt after adopting a charter. -57-

(MORE TAXES) Supporters say this measure won't raise taxes, but cities that adopt a charter always seem to ask for more taxpayer money soon after. We shouldn't vote for this deceptive measure. (LABOR UNION) Becoming a charter city sounds like a positive reform, but it is really a trick to go after union workers and allow the City to avoid fair wage standards and other laws meant to protect hard working people.
(UNNECESSARY) This measure is simply not necessary.

There's nothing wrong with the way our city runs now.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
ATTENTION: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
FROM: Elizabeth C. Oba, Director of Planning and Building Services SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to authorize the City Manager to release the Notice of Preparation and execute a Task Order with Dudek for preparation of a Program Environmental Impact Report for City owned property located at 15240 Lakewood Boulevard, 9030-9146 Somerset Boulevard, and 9215 Flora Vista Street (collectively, the "Subject Property").

DATE: April 8, 2024

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Subject Property — formerly a golf course and open space - consists of approximately 22 acres and is currently under lease to Hollywood Sports Park as a outdoor recreation opportunity to residents of the community and surrounding areas. The State of California has determined that there is a significant regional and statewide need for housing available to various income levels, and local plans have identified the critical need for open space.

Understanding these needs, and in furtherance of the goals and policies set forth in recent amendments to the Housing Element of the City's General Plan, the City intends on rezoning this site to allow for future mixed -uses (high -density residential and open space uses). In order to accomplish this, a Zone Change, General Plan Amendment, and a Program Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") are required. A Notice of Preparation ("NOP") is the first step in the process for preparing the Program EIR. The NOP is sent to the City's stakeholders and to the public to notify them that a Program EIR will be prepared and allows for public comment on what the Program EIR should address as it relates to environmental impacts. The City has an existing agreement with Dudek for on -call consulting services for CEQA related projects. AFN No. 1034 allows for specific services through a Task Order. To begin the Program EIR process, Dudek will complete the NOP process and conduct the required scoping meeting. As the City progresses through this process, it will seek additional consulting services for later phases of the project. This action would authorize the City Manager to release the NOP and execute a Task Order with Dudek for preparation of a Program EIR.
1) Authorize the City Manager to release the Notice of Preparation and execute a Task Order with Dudek for preparation of a Program Environmental Impact Report; or 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item. —1—

Staff Report® Notice of Preparation & Dudek Task Order
April 8, 2024

FISCAL IMPACT
The Task Order will not exceed $15,100 for environmental consulting services, under Contract Services Account No. 010-42054-4100.

DISCUSSION
The State of California has identified housing affordability as a significant challenge facing local communities and the state as a whole, and Bellflower residents in particular have consistently ranked the ability to afford housing in our community as one of the most serious issues facing our community. In a 2023 survey, 81 % of residents identified a lack of affordable housing as a very or somewhat serious problem, facing Bellflower. As comparison, 82% identified the number of homeless individuals in the City as very or somewhat serious, 73% identified gangs and juvenile violence,. 59% identified the number of vacant buildings, and 46% identified a lack of public transportation.

The Subject Property consists of approximately 22 acres which is currently zoned for and operated as open space and outdoor recreation available to Bellflower residents and visitors.

Understanding the community's priorities and the statewide need to build housing affordable to all income levels, and although the site is currently under lease to Hollywood Sports Park for those purposes, the City intends on rezoning the site to allow for alternative uses in the future to include mixed uses, such as high density residential and open spaces uses to assist the City in meeting the demand for affordable housing and its obligations under the Regional Housing Needs Allocation ("RHNA") in the future. To accomplish this, a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change are proposed. The General Plan Amendment includes revising the Land Use Plan in the Land Use Element from Open Space to Mixed Use, and amending the Certified 2021-2029 Housing Element for consistency. The Zone Change includes changing the current zoning from O-S (Open Space) to Specific Plan.

In recent years, the City has received interest in redevelopment of the site, but there is no specific development project proposed at this time. To quantify potential environmental impacts, a development scenario has been formulated with a maximum of 1,640 dwelling units that could be developed at the project site along with 1.5 acres of the site being dedicated for open space uses. The Certified 2021-2029 Housing Element provides for potential sites that can satisfy the City's RHNA obligations, but the 1,640 dwelling units that could be developed on this site would serve as additional buffer to allow flexibility in future housing developments while still meeting the City's obligations under State law.

Since no project is proposed at this time, it was determined that a Program EIR would be the appropriate CEQA document. The first step in the process of preparing the Program EIR is to issue a Notice of Preparation to be sent to stakeholders and the public notifying them that the City will be preparing a Program EIR and providing ample opportunity to gather public input regarding any potential environmental impacts. The purpose of the NOP is to seek public comments on what should be addressed in the scope of the Program EIR. A scoping meeting is also held during the NOP process to receive input on the scope of the Program EIR.

Staff Report— HoUce of Preparation & Dudek Task, Order
April 8, 2024

DISCUSSION — Continued
The City has an existing Professional Services Agreement with Dudek for consulting services related to CEQA review. The preparation and completion of the NOP and the scoping meeting can be accomplished under that agreement by Task Order. Following the completion of the NOP and scoping meeting, staff and the consultant will determine the final scope of the Program EIR. At that time, the City can work with Dudek to develop a more accurate cost estimate to complete the Program EIR or seek additional proposals as necessary. It is likely that City Council approval of a separate agreement for the full cost of preparation and completion of the Program EIR would be required at a later date.

It is recommended the City Council authorize the City Manager to release the Notice of Preparation and execute a Task Order for Dudek to process the NOP and conduct the scoping meeting.

FOR HOLLYWOOD SPORTS PARK PROPOSAL
(GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 24-01 AND ZONE CHANGE NO. 24-01)

CITY OF BELLFLOWER
General Information
To: Interested Agencies, Organizations, and Parties
Project Title: Hollywood Sports Park Proposal (General Plan Amendment No. 24-01 and Zone Change No. 24-01)
Review Period: April 26, 2024 to July 25, 2024
Lead Agency: City of Bellflower
Planning Department -

Bellflower, CA 90706
Contact: Elizabeth Oba, Director of Planning and Building Services; (562) 804-1424 ext. 2276; [email protected]
Purpose of Notice: In accordance with provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City of Bellflower is circulating a Notice of Preparation (NOP) to acquire input on the scope and contents of the Program Environmental Impact Report (Program EIR) to assess the future development of mixed -uses (high -density residential and open space uses) within City owned property currently being utilized by Hollywood Sports Park. This NOP describes the required Planning applications forfuture mixed -use development, general background information on the scoping process, the environmental issues to be addressed in the Program EIR, and the anticipated uses of the Program EIR. This NOP is intended to satisfy the requirements of CEQA (Public Resources Code Sections 21000-21177), and the CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations Sections 15000-15387). Furthermore, a Program EIR is being prepared in 'accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168 of the, since a specific project design is not being considered at this time. This Program EIR therefore, focuses on the required Planning applications (GPA No. 24-01 and ZC No. 24-01) for future mixed -use development.

Project Location: The Project Site consists of the existing 22.0-acre Hollywood Sports Park site which is located at 15240 Lakewood Boulevard, 9030-9146 Somerset Boulevard, and 9215 Flora Vista Street (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 6271-001-900 & 6271-001-901) ("Project Site"). The Project Site is located in southern Los Angeles County in the City of Bellflower. Project boundaries include Somerset Boulevard to the north, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("MTA") right-of-way to the south; and Lakewood Boulevard further to the west (see attached aerial photograph). Regional access is provided by four freeways all within three miles of the project site (Interstate 710, 605, and 105; and State Route 91).

Notice of Preparation for Program EIR
Existing Onsite and
Surrounding Uses: The Project Site is currently utilized for recreational activities and events that include outdoor paintball, airsoft, soft -pellet tag, and gelburst, set within movie remnants, rock walls, and other settings.

Surrounding uses include strip commercial along Somerset Boulevard to the north, residential uses and a school that are located further beyond these commercial uses to the north. Single-family residential neighborhoods are located to the south and east. To the west is a mixture of industrial and commercial uses, and a mobile home park.

Project Description
Background: The Project Site previously operated as the Bellflower Golf and Tennis Center, which included a 9-hole executive golf course, driving range, clubhouse, and tennis courts. In March 2000, the City approved applications that allowed for a multi -purpose building, paintball fields, go-kart/BMX bike tracks, skateboard arenas, rock climbing, beach volleyball, bike paths, and alcohol sales at the site. Since 2000, the City has approved numerous Conditional Use Permits and other permits to allow for game arcade activities, alcohol sales, dance and entertainment activities, and other commercial and recreational activities and events. As discussed, the Project Site is currently utilized for recreational activities and events that include outdoor paintball, airsoft, soft -pellet tag, and gelburst, set within movie remnants, rock walls, and other settings.

Project Description: The proposed project includes revising the Land Use Plan in the Land Use Element and amending the Certified 2021-2029 Housing Element (GPA No. 24-01), and a Zone Change (ZC No. 24-01) to allow for future mixed -uses (high -density residential and open space uses) on the Project Site. At this writing, actual mixed -use development and design plans are not being reviewed or considered by the City. Therefore, this Program EIR will evaluate, on a programmatic -level, potential environmental impacts resulting with the proposed GPA and ZC. To quantify potential impacts to the greatest extent possible, a development scenario has been created based on a maximum development density and permitted uses as established by the proposed GPA and ZC.

The Project Site is currently designated Open Space by the City's Land Use Plan in the General Plan's Land Use Element and 0-S Open Space by the City's Zoning Map in the Bellfower Municipal Code ("BMC"). The Land Use Element defines Open Space as "public or privately owned properties to be retained for open space purposes including public parks, utility easements, and transportation corridors." The BMC defines 0-S Open Space as areas that preserve and manage natural resources, enhance public health and safety, include outdoor recreation, care for, horses, and allow for wireless communication facilities.

The proposed GPA and ZC will re -designate the Project Site to "Mixed -Use" and "Specific Plan" in the General Plan's Land Use Element and BMC, respectively. The Land Use Element defines the Mixed -Use category "...to accommodate innovation in land use planning, both in existing commercial and multi -family residential areas ... The Mixed -Use land use category, is created to enable the' addition of residential uses on commercial property or commercial uses on residentially used lots. Mixed -use does not'mean that commercial and residential uses are next to each other (although that may be the case) Hollywood Sports Park General Plan Amendment No. 24-01 and Zone Change No. 24-01 City of Bellflower
March 2024

but rather that the uses exist together on the same lot." The Certified 2021-2029 Housing Element will be amended to identify the Project Site as an underutilized residential site that could be developed as higher density residential and will include the Project Site as a new Housing Opportunity Area. The Housing Element, as currently certified, can achieve and satisfy the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) obligation. With the proposed GPA and ZC, the Project Site will be able to accommodate approximately 1,640 housing units which are additional to the City's RHNA obligation. This Proposal facilitates development of additional housing in the City in accordance with policies and objectives in the Housing Element.

The BMC allows for Specific Plans because "[t]he City recognizes that certain parcels in Bellflower may benefit from focused planning efforts whereby infrastructure, land use relationships, land use intensities, and public service needs can be carefully examined and planned in a comprehensive manner. The Specific Plan provides a mechanism to carry out such planning efforts. The purpose...is to establish uniform procedures and guidelines for Specific Plans prepared pursuant to Government Code Section 65450, et seq." Potential
Mixed -Use
Development: As discussed, actual mixed -use development and design plans are not being reviewed or considered by the City at this time. Therefore, to quantify potential impacts to the greatest extent possible, a development scenario has been formulated based on a maximum development density and those permitted uses as established by the proposed GPA and ZC. The proposed GPA No. 24-01 will allow mixed -uses at the Project Site. The allowed mixed -uses could include both high -density residential uses and open space uses.

For purposes of analysis, it is anticipated that 20.5 acres of the 22.0-acre Project Site could be utilized for high -density residential uses (100 dwelling units/acre maximum); while the remaining 1.5 acres could be utilized for open space uses. Based on this 100 du/acre maximum density, the 20.5-acre portion of the Project Site could allow for a gross of 2,050 residential units. However, given that parking, landscaping, common areas, internal streets, and other infrastructure would reduce developable residential area, it is assumed that there will be a 20 percent reduction of the 2,050 dwelling units. Therefore, for purposes of analysis, it is estimated that 1,640 dwelling units could be developed at the Project Site. Regarding open space uses, it is anticipated that outdoor active open space and recreational activities would be allowed.

The Program EIR will therefore, evaluate on a programmatic -level, potential environmental impacts resulting from the proposed GPA and ZC and this particular development scenario. The City will review and approve future Specific Plans that will provide development and design standards and allow for mixed -uses. Additional environmental and CEQA analysis will be required as appropriate.

Project Objectives
Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15124(b), a clear statement of objectives and the underlying purpose of the project will be discussed in the Program EIR. The underlying purpose of the project is to allow for future high - density residential and open space uses at the Project Site. Approval of proposed GPA No. 24-01 and ZC No. 24- 01 will redesignate and rezone the Project Site from Open Space to Mixed -Use and Specific Plan, respectively, so as to allow for these future mixed -uses.

Potential Environmental Impacts
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15064, the discussion of effects on the environment in the Program EIR are focused on those impacts that the City has determined may be potentially significant. The Program EIR also will evaluate the cumulative impacts of the project when considered in conjunction with other related past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects. Although, at this very early stage of the environmental review process, it is difficult to ascertain with certainty the precise nature and extent of the environmental effects, it is possible to identify the following potential environmental effects that the proposed project could generate. The City has determined that the Program EIR will evaluate the following environmental impacts:

Aesthetics: The Program EIR will describe how the project would change the view of the site from sensitive public viewpoints near the Project Site. The Program EIR will also describe any light- and glare -related impacts, focusing on sensitive viewsheds, changes to the visual character of the Project Site, and changes to light and glare associated with the project. Mitigation measures will be recommended to reduce or eliminate any significant project impacts, as necessary.

Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Emissions: This project is located within South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) jurisdiction. During construction and operation, the project could emit criteria air pollutants, primarily through vehicular operation. The Program EIR will assess the project's construction- and operation -related emissions of criteria air pollutants and precursors (e.g., reactive organic gasses [ROG], nitrogen oxides [NOX], sulfur dioxide [SO2], carbon monoxide [CO], respirable particulate matter [PM10], and fine particulate matter [PM2.51). The Program EIR will then compare these estimates to the significant health - based emissions thresholds specified in SCAQMD's CEQA Guidelines. The Program EIR will also evaluate the potential for substantial concentrations of toxic air contaminants and odors perceived by nearby land uses and other sensitive receptors as a result of project implementation. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly from any additional truck trips, will be assessed in the Program EIR. The Program EIR will recommend mitigation measures, if necessary.

Biological Resources: The Program EIR will include a description of the special -status plant and wildlife species known to occur within the Project Site, and a determination of whether suitable habitat exists onsite to support any special -status species. The chapter will be based a survey of the Project Site and any off -site infrastructure alignments. Mitigation measures to reduce impacts to sensitive resources will be developed and recommended as necessary.
► Cultural Resources/Tribal Cultural Resources: The Program EIR will evaluate potential effects to archaeological resources, from implementation of the project, focusing ;on any unique archaeological resources, historical resources, or tribal cultural resources. A records search will be conducted to identify any Hollywood Sports Park General Plan Amendment No. 24-01 and Zone Change No. 24-01 March 2024 City of Bellflower 5

Notice of Preparation for Proqram EIR
documented historical or archaeological resources on or immediately adjacent to the Project Site. In accordance with Senate Bill 18 and Assembly Bill 52, Native American tribes that have traditional lands or cultural places located within the Project Site and vicinity will be consulted. The Program EIR will provide mitigation measures as needed.
► Energy: The Program EIR will discuss the potential impacts of the project's energy usage, emphasizing any inefficient, wasteful, or unnecessary energy consumption, including an analysis of any change in vehicle miles traveled. The Program EIR will provide mitigation measures as needed. ► Geology and Soils/Mineral Resources: The Program EIR will summarize the setting and describe the potential effects from soil erosion, earthquakes, liquefaction, and expansive soils, as well as identify any unique geological features within the Project Site. The chapter will also include an assessment of potential impacts to paleontological resources from project implementation. Mineral resources will also be discussed in this chapter. The Program EIR will provide mitigation measures as needed. ► Hazards and Hazardous Materials: The Program EIR will evaluate the potential for existing or possible hazardous materials within the Project Site and the potential for on -site hazardous materials usage. Those schools that are located near the Project Site will be identified. The Program EIR will provide mitigation measures as needed.
► Hydrology and Water Quality: The Program EIR will evaluate the potential for on- and off -site drainage and flooding impacts, and any effects of construction and operation of the project on water quality. The Program EIR will provide mitigation measures as needed.
► Land Use and Planning: The Program EIR will evaluate the project's land use relative to the City's General Plan, BMC, and other relevant City policies and programs. In addition, the Program EIR will examine any possible land use conflicts with existing neighboring uses and communities. The chapter will recommend mitigation measures, if necessary.
► Noise and Vibration: The Program EIR will evaluate noise increases and impacts to neighboring sensitive receptors resulting with increased construction and operational activities, and ground vibration due to construction and truck movements. The significance of transportation noise impacts will be determined in relationto the City's General Plan. The Program EIR will provide mitigation measures as needed. ► Population and Housing/Public Services/Recreation: The Program EIR will evaluate the potential for the project to induce direct and indirect population growth. Information from the City's General Plan, as appropriate, and up-to-date information received from appropriate City and other agencies will be utilized to address the project's potential to create impacts related to population and housing, public services, and recreation. The Program EIR will provide mitigation measures as needed. The Program EIR will also discuss how the project complies with the State's policies relating to increased housing. ► Transportation/Traffic: The Program EIR will evaluate potential project impacts on traffic and recommend mitigation measures as needed.
► Utilities and Service Systems: The Program EIR will evaluate and discuss potential impacts related to water, wastewater, solid waste, fire protection, police, schools, parks, recreation, and other public facilities and services, and provide mitigation measures as needed..

Notice of Preparation for Program EIR
The following topics will not be discussed further in the Program EIR:
► Agriculture and Forestry Resources: According to the California Important Farmland Finder database and "California Important Farmland Finder Map," the Project Site and immediate surroundings are classified as "Urban and Built -Up Land." There are no agricultural lands (including lands classified by the California' Resources Agency as Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance) or forest lands within or in proximity the Project Site. Therefore, no impacts on agriculture and forestry resources are anticipated, and this topic will not be discussed further in the Program EIR. ► Wildfire: According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's "California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Fire Hazard Severity Zone Viewer," the Project Site and vicinity are not located within a "Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ)." Therefore, no impacts related to wildfire are anticipated, and this topic will not be discussed further in the Program EIR.

Alternatives To Be Evaluated
In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, the Program EIR will describe a range of reasonable alternatives to the project that are capable of meeting most of the project's objectives, and would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the project. The Program EIR will also identify any alternatives that were considered but rejected by the lead agency as infeasible and briefly explain the reasons why. The Program EIR will provide an analysis of the No -Project Alternative and will also identify the environmentally superior alternative.

Subject: Proposal for Environmental Review Services on the Hollywood Sports Park Project Dear Ms. Oba:

Dudek appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to the City of Bellflower (City) for professional environmental services on the Hollywood Sports Park Project. Dudek understands the City has drafted a notice of preparation (NOP) of an environmental impact report (EIR) for a prospective general plan amendment (GPA No.24-01) and zoning code amendment (ZC No. 24-01) to reclassify an existing open space/commercial property for mixed -use housing redevelopment. The City requested a proposal for assistance finalizing and publishing the NOP, participating in a scoping meeting during the NOP public review period, and preparing a Program EIR assessing the environmental impacts of implementing the general plan amendment and zone change. Dudek's proposal is presented in this letter, including a company introduction and qualifications statement, examples of relevant projects performed by Dudek, and a scope and fee estimate to perform the requested work. This proposal has been revised from our initial submittal on March 26, 2024, to respond to City comments.

Cori Resha, JD, who would serve as the Senior Project Manager, is a senior project manager and environmental planner with 19 years' experience. Cori specializes in CEQA/NEPA compliance and has extensive experience managing CEQA documents, strategizing CEQA compliance solutions, and working in the crossroads of planning and environmental compliance. She brings a unique mix of consulting experience, public agency experience, and legal education to her position, which is evident in her ability to spot potential issues, provide creative solutions for compliance, and manage documents with an eye towards potential litigation. She has successfully managed and coordinated the CEQA processes for a variety of projects throughout California, many of which have involved intense public controversy. Her project experience includes area plans and Specific Plans, General Plans and amendments, commercial and residential developments, energy projects, infrastructure projects, transportation projects, recreation projects, and various other land management projects. Ms. Resha's previous work experience with the City of Bellflower includes managing the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND NO. 21- 01) for the 2021-2029 Housing Element, Downtown Bellflower Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan Amendment, and Required Zone Changes to the Mixed -Use Overlay Zone in 2021 while with another consulting firm.

Emily Seklecki, who would serve as the Deputy Project Manager, is an environmental planner with 8 years' of experience as a CEQA practitioner, specializing in land planning and long-range planning projects: Ms. Seklecki's previous experience working with the City of Bellflower includes acting as Deputy Project Manager for the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) document for the Simms Park Stormwater Capture and Teen & Senior Center Project, adopted in 2023.

Project Examples
Dudek's project team, as well as Dudek as an organization, have tremendous experience with other projects that in some way contribute to their expertise for this project. As shown below, our team has experience with projects within Bellflower, but also projects in other jurisdictions that have elements similar to the proposed project. Case in point, Cori Resha has managed a variety of CEQA documents that are at least somewhat programmatic in nature and designed to streamline CEQA review for future projects, whether that be a finding that a project is within the scope of the previous analysis, an addendum to evaluate project changes, or subsequent documents to evaluate major project changes. Dudek's experience with programmatic analysis as well as streamlined review of later projects offers the expertise needed to guide the City through the process of developing a CEQA document for a program that is designed to provide for maximum streamlining in the future. Below are some of our projects that we believe illustrate Dudek's expertise with the range of issues presented by this project.

Simms Park Stormwater Capture and Teen & Senior Center Projects MND, City of Bellflower, California. Dudek conducted environmental impact review and preparation of an MND for the City of Bellflower addressing two public projects at Simms Park. One project is a stormwater capture facility to divert water from a concrete box storm drain into a storage reservoir proposed beneath the park's existing baseball/softball fields. Proposed park improvements include replacing the ballfield surface, replacing perimeter fence and lighting, and adding a bioswale. The second project is construction of a Teen & Senior Center to replace an old teen center building that was demolished in 2019. The new building footprint requires reconfiguration of the park's existing parking lot and landscaping. The two projects are planned to be constructed separately and are not related in need, but the City decided to cover them in a single CEQA document due to their proximity and potential for overlapping impacts.

SUBJECT. HOLLYWOOD SPORTS PARK PROPOSAL
Analysis and CEQA documentation required coordination with the two projects' architects and engineers. Dudek's CEQA analysis included modeling of construction -phase and operational air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions, an air quality health -risk assessment due to construction adjacent to residences, noise estimates, and assessment of biological resources and cultural resources in an urbanized environment. Dudek advised the City during the Assembly Bill 52 tribal cultural resources outreach and consultation process. The MND was adopted by the Bellflower City Council in August 2023.

Los Robles Comprehensive Cancer Center/ 355 West Janss Road General Plan Amendment and Zone Change Project EIR, C'ttyof Thousand Oaks, Califomia. Under Senate Bill (SB) 330, local jurisdictions are precluded from changing the general plan land use designation, specific plan land use designation, or zoning of a parcel or parcels of property that would individually or cumulatively reduce the site's residential development capacity, with an exception when a jurisdiction concurrently changes the development standards, policies, and conditions applicable to another parcel or parcels within the jurisdiction to ensure that there is no net loss in .residential capacity for the jurisdiction. Dudek prepared the EIR for the Los Robles Comprehensive Cancer Center and 355 West Janss Road Project, which involved a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change that would allow for the development of a comprehensive cancer center on a parcel currently zoned for residential use and the potential future development of a residential development on a parcel currently zoned for Public or Institutional use. The EIR evaluated both the development of the cancer center as well as residential development, though no plan for development was proposed. The project faced intense public interest while on a very tight schedule. Dudek's team, led in part by Cori Resha, provided the City with an EIR that fulfilled CEQA requirements while providing the decision makers with the information needed to make an informed decision regarding the environmental impacts and potential alternatives of the proposed project. Because the EIR analysis included the residential component, future residential development on the Janss Road site would be expected to enjoy streamlined CEQA review when/if project details are developed. The EIR has been recommended by the Planning Commission for certification by the City Council, which is anticipated to take place on March 26, 2024.

Gilead Oceanside Campus Project, City of Oceanside, California. Dudek prepared an addendum to the Ocean Ranch Master Development Plan and Master Tentative Tract Map Final Initial Study/Environmental Checklist and Mitigated Negative Declaration (Ocean Ranch MND) adopted in 1999 by the City of Oceanside. The addendum evaluated the development of Gilead's, Oceanside Campus Project on one of the last remaining undeveloped parcels within the existing Ocean Ranch Master Development Plan area. The analysis discussed the 1999 IS/MND and presented its conclusions, and evaluated whether the proposed project would result in any new or significantly worse impacts. The emphasis was on looking at the overall Master Development Plan area and noting whether the project was sufficiently within the scope and assumptions of the IS/MND's analysis to determine whether a subsequent or supplemental environmental document would be needed. As this later project was fully consistent with the development assumptions evaluated in the 1999 IS/MND, an addendum was the appropriate CEQA document for this project. This project was put on hold in early 2024.

The Derby Mixed -Use Project EIR, City of Arcadia, Califomia. Dudek prepared the EIR for this redevelopment of a

2.23-acre property located in an urban area of the City of Arcadia. The project site contains The Derby Restaurant, the former (now vacant) Souplantation restaurant, and surface parking lot. The existing buildings and surface parking lots on the Project site would be demolished to accommodate the construction of The Derby Restaurant as a larger, two-story restaurant that would be connected to a new, six -story mixed -use development consisting of a restaurant, cafe, and multifamily residential uses. The Project requires a General Plan Amendment to the land DUDEK

use designation of "Downtown Mixed Use" and a zone change to the zoning designation of Downtown Mixed Use (DMU). The Final EIR for the project was published in October 2023.

Creekside Village Specific Plan, County of El Dorado, California. Dudek is providing planning support and preparing the EIR for this proposed specific plan in an unincorporated area of El Dorado County. The project would develop approximately 208 acres of land with a mix of residential, parks, neighborhood commercial, and open space land uses. There would be an option for converting the neighborhood commercial to park uses if neighborhood commercial is not adopted as part of the Specific Plan. The County is processing the application for the CVSP and associated approvals including a General Plan amendment, rezone, and tentative maps which must be approved before development can occur. The notice of preparation (NOP) for EIR was originally released in November 2020 but the project went on hold until 2023. In October 2023, a second NOP was published and a scoping meeting was held to solicit comments on the scope of the environmental review for the revised project description. Dudek is currently preparing the Draft EIR, which is anticipated for public review and circulation later in 2024.

Project Understanding
Dudek understands the City of Bellflower Planning and Building Services department will circulate a Notice of Preparation for a Program Environmental Impact Report (Program EIR) for the project know as Hollywood Sports Park Proposal (General Plan Amendment No. 24-01 and Zone Change No. 24-01). The Hollywood Sports Park Proposal would include the future development of mixed -uses (high -density residential and open space uses) within City -owned property currently being utilized by the Hollywood Sports Park, a 22.0-acre site used for recreational activities and events that include outdoor paintbail, airsoft, softpellet tag, and gelburst.

The project site, which is located at 15240 Lakewood Boulevard, 9030-9146 Somerset Boulevard, and 9215 Flora Vista Street (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 6271-001-900 and 6271-001-901), is owned by the City and leased to the operator of the sports park. The site is currently designated Open Space by the City's General Plan Land Use Element, and 0-S Open Space by the City's Zoning Code. Project boundaries include Somerset Boulevard to the north, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) right-of-way to the south; and Lakewood Boulevard further to the west. Surrounding uses include strip commercial along Somerset Boulevard to the north, single-family residential neighborhoods located to the south and east, and mixed industrial and commercial uses, along with a mobile home park, to the west.

Proposed project approvals would include an amendment to the General Plan ((GPA No. 24-01), which would amend the Land Use Plan in the Land Use Element to revise the project site from the current Open Space land use designation to the proposed Mixed Use land use designation, and amend the Housing Element for consistency; as well as a Zone Change (ZC No. 24-01) to amend the Zoning Map in the Zoning Code to change the project site from the existing 0-S Zone to the "Specific Plan".

Dudek understands at this time, actual mixed -use development and design plans have not been created and are not being reviewed or considered by the City. Therefore, to quantify potential impacts to the greatest extent possible, a development scenario has been formulated based on a maximum development density and those permitted uses as established by the proposed GPA and ZC. Proposed GPA No. 24-01 will allow high -density residential uses and open space uses. For purposes of analysis, Dudek anticipates 20.5 acres of the 22.0-acre DUDEK
MARCH 2O24 5

SUBJECT. HOLLYWOOD SPORTS PARK PROPOSAL
Project Site could be utilized for high -density residential uses (100 dwelling units/acre maximum); while the remaining 1.5 acres could be utilized for open space uses. Based on this 100 du/acre maximum density, the

20.5-acre portion of the Project Site could allow for a gross of 2,050 residential units. However, given that parking, landscaping, common areas, internal streets, and other infrastructure would reduce developable residential area, it is assumed that there will be a 20 percent reduction of the 2,050 dwelling units. Therefore, for purposes of analysis, it is estimated that 1,640 dwelling units could be developed at the Project Site. Regarding open space uses, it is anticipated that outdoor active open space and recreational activities would be allowed.

Dudek understands the City is considering a Program EIR at this time to analyze the impacts of implementing the GPA and ZC using the maximum -density development scenario that has been envisioned. The Program EIR would be relied upon to the extent possible as future development approvals are considered by the City. Future projects are anticipated to require project -specific CEQA documentation tiering off the Program EIR. The focus of this proposal effort has been on preparing the scope of work for Task 1 with the understanding that Task 1 and Task 2 will be approved separately as individual task orders under Dudek's existing master services agreement with the City. Dudek's Task 2 proposal anticipates the technical analysis and level of documentation that would be needed based on our current understanding of the project and the City's CEQA compliance needs. If the NOP and scoping process result in an outcome that requires changes to project details or to the level of effort required for the Program EIR, the scope of work and cost estimate for Task 2 would be revised accordingly before it is approved. As such, the scope of work and cost estimate presented below is subject to refinement as the project proceeds beyond the NOP and scoping process.

Scope of Work
Task 1 Notice of Preparation and Project Scoping Assistance Subtask 1.1e Notice of Preparation
Dudek is in receipt of the draft Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the project and will review and finalize the document as needed, including the development of figures to support the NOP. It is assumed that the NOP as currently drafted would not require a substantial amount of Dudek time to revise, and that Dudek's efforts would be focused on refining the document, developing figures, and preparing the document for publication. This scope assumes that no more than one (1) round of review and comment by the City in an electronic format (MS Word). A final NOP be submitted in electronic format (Word and PDF) to the City for final review before printing.

Once printed, Dudek will complete distribution of the NOP to the State Clearinghouse, responsible agencies, .trustee agencies, and any other interested parties pursuant to the mailing list provided by the City. This scope assumes distribution via certified mail to up to 30 stakeholder agencies. The City shall be responsible for posting the NOP to its website and/or premises compliant with City requirements.

Dudek would upload the NOP and a notice of completion (NOC) to the State Clearinghouse's CEQAnet database.

Confirmation of posting to the SCH shall be provided to the City.

Subtask 1.2: Scoping
Dudek's project management team will attend and facilitate one scoping meeting for the project, typically held in the middle of the 30-day public review period of the NOP (two weeks after the distribution date). It is assumed the City will arrange a venue and equipment for the scoping meeting, -including a virtual component if determined necessary by the City. Dudek would develop and deliver a scoping presentation to include a summary of the CEQA process (including a CEQA flowchart), the purpose of the NOP and the scoping meeting, and a brief overview of environmental issue areas to be studied in the Program EIR. Dudek will provide a sign -in sheet and comment cards that may be filled out by meeting attendees. Dudek will also take detailed notes regarding the issues raised by commenting individuals that should be addressed in the Program EIR. Dudek's project manager will answer questions raised by the public regarding the CEQA process and/or general questions regarding technical and analytic methods, as needed. Dudek's primary role in the scoping meeting is to solicit and record public input regarding the scope and content of the Program EIR. Following the scoping meeting, a summary of all comments received at the meeting will be provided to the City. Once public comment has been collected via written and verbal comments in response to the NOP and scoping meeting, Dudek will identify the main topics and themes that have been identified by interested parties and the public.

Task 2 Program EIR
Following completion of Task 1, the City and Dudek shall discuss whether the City intends to continue processing the project such that Dudek would prepare the Program EIR. The following general scope of work and associated cost estimate for this task is presented based on Dudek's experience with similar projects. Should the City decide to continue with the project, the scope of work and cost estimate for the Program EIR would be refined to include the specific technical tasks needed and to properly reflect the scope of the Program EIR as determined through the NOP/scoping process.

Based on the nature of the project description and the desire for a Program EIR, Dudek will prepare the Program EIR with an eye towards streamlining the CEQA review for later development projects. By providing a programmatic analysis in the EIR, subsequent applications for development within the project site would be able to utilize CEQA streamlining provisions to provide efficiency and expedience during the development review process. Dudek has substantial experience in drafting and utilizing programmatic CEQA documents and will prepare this Program EIR with an eye towards the document being used to streamline CEQA for future development applications.

Dudek understands the City prepared an EIR in 2000 for approval of a project to replace an existing golf course on the project site with the current sports facility. Dudek will review the prior EIR and incorporate all relevant information into the proposed Program EIR.

Subtask 2.1: Draft Program EIR
Dudek will prepare an Administrative Draft Program EIR (ADPEIR) for City review. Preparation of the ADPEIR sections would include technical reports prepared by Dudek as determined to be necessary based on project specifics. Dudek will also utilize existing City and other agency planning documents, City ordinances, and a site visit to develop the background ana analysis. Each section will describe the existing regional setting, project site and nearby features, which will constitute the baseline conditions for the evaluation of impacts. Existing federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including the City's General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs, City codes, development standards and design guidelines, will be reviewed and summarized as applicable in the regulatory setting of each technical section of the ADPEIR. The methods of analysis and City standards of significance used for determining impacts of the project will be explicitly described in each technical sections of the ADPEIR, including any assumptions that are important to understand the conclusions of the analysis.

Technical reports that may be required for the Program EIR include the following topics:
■ Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and Energy
■ Biological Resources
■ Archaeological and Paleontological Resources
■ Tribal Cultural Resources
■ Hazards and Hazardous Materials
■ Noise

SUBJECT: HOLLYWOOD SPORTS PARK PROPOSAL

Dudek assumes technical analysis for aesthetics/visual simulations will not be needed because the project will propose development within an urbanized area that will be compatible with existing conditions. Dudek assumes technical analysis will not be needed for historic resources because the site's existing facilities were constructed after 2000 and do not meet the age requirements to be considered historically significant.

The analysis of each topic in the ADPEIR would evaluate the impacts of the proposed project against existing, baseline conditions (based on the date of the NOP), as well as the project's contribution to cumulative impacts.

Where available, mitigation will be recommended for significant impacts, and the effectiveness of the mitigation measures will be described. The ADPEIR would also include evaluation of alternatives to the proposed project as required by CEQA. The alternatives would include a No Project Alternative, and additional development alternatives. The development alternatives would be developed based on the project objectives established for the project, with the goal of reducing any of the significant impacts identified in the ADPEIR.

Following the City's review and comment of all sections of the ADPEIR, Dudek would revise the ADPEIR to produce a Screencheck Program EIR. It is assumed that only limited revisions would be required at this stage to respond to City comments on the administrative draft, and no additional technical analysis would be required. The Screencheck Program EIR would be submitted to the City in electronic format (MS Word and PDF) so they City may review the document for any major flaws prior to the document being finalized into the Public Draft Program EIR.

During this stage, Dudek would provide the City will provide a draft version of the notice of availability (NOA) that is required as part of the public review process for the Program EIR. Dudek will also provide drafts of the notice of completion (NOC) and summary form as required by the State Clearinghouse. It is assumed that comments on the Screencheck Program EIR would be minimal and not require substantial revisions by Dudek. Once the Draft Program EIR is finalized and ready for printing, an electronic version and 3 hard copies would be delivered to the City.

It is important to note that CEQA requires a Draft Program EIR to be released for public review and comment for a period of at least 30 but no more than 60 days. Dudek will coordinate with the City to determine the public review period for the Draft Program EIR, which will be reflected in the Draft Program EIR and associated notices.

Dudek will upload the public Draft Program EIR and required forms to the State Clearinghouse's CEQAnet database. Dudek would also coordinate the mailing of hard copies of the NOA to interested parties, agencies, and stakeholders. The City would be responsible for electronic transmittal of the Draft Program EIR and/or notices to any parties that have requested such notice or documents. The NOA is also required to be published in a newspaper of general circulation; the City would be responsible for coordination and costs associated with newspaper publication. The City would also be responsible for uploading the Draft Program EIR and notices to its website and physical posting of notices as required. If the City wishes for additional hard copies of the Draft Program EIR to be produced and mailed to local libraries, the scope and cost estimate can be modified to reflect this component.

■ Screencheck Program EIR in electronic format (MS Word and PDF) • Public Draft Program EIR (electronic and up to 3 hard copies), NOA, NOC, and SCH summary form Subtask 2.2: Final Program EIR
Following the close of the public review period for the Draft Program EIR (30-60 days, as discussed above), Dudek would prepare an Administrative Final Program EIR (AFPEIR) in compliance with all CEQA requirements. This task includes bracketing all comments received from agencies, organizations, tribes, and the public and preparing written responses to be included in the AFPEIR. If comments received reiterate the same concerns, Dudek will prepare master responses to address those comments. This scope of work assumes receipt of up to 15 comment letters and 75 individual comments. If more than 15 comment lettera and/or 75 comments are received or detailed comment letters from attorneys or other organizations that raise complex CEQA issues indicating the potential for project litigation, Dudek may request a budget augment. Should comments on the Draft Program EIR raise new issues or require that new surveys or technical studies be conducted to complete adequate responses, Dudek will initiate discussions immediately with City staff to evaluate the options for CEQA processing. It is anticipated that during development of the AFPEIR, Dudek would coordinate with City staff to understand and develop the City's preferred language for responding to comments that do not raise issues with the analyses or adequacy of the Draft Program EIR. The AFPEIR will include the text of the Draft Program EIR, revised to reflect any changes resulting from the responses to comments or City -initiated changes. All changes to the text of the Draft Program EIR will be identified in strike out and underline in the AFPEIR.

Another required component of the AFPEIR is a mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP). Dudek will draft the MMRP document, which identifies the mitigation measures discussed in the Draft Program EIR to reduce or eliminate significant impacts of the project. The MMRP will include the text of all mitigation measures and include columns indicating the timing and responsibility for the mitigation measures.

The AFPEIR will be submitted to the City in electronic format (MS Word). Following receipt of one set of reconciled comments and revisions, Dudek will revise the document to produce the public Final PRogram EIR. As part of the Final Program EIR process, Dudek would also draft the required CEQA Findings of Fact (FOF) and, if needed, a Statement of Overriding Considerations (SOC). An SOC is required when an EIR identifies any impacts of a project that would be significant and unavoidable. While Dudek would draft the SOC, it is assumed that the City would provide information to be used in the SOC, such as any studies indicating the need for the project, any market analyses supporting the project, and any other information that should be considered when deciding whether to approve a project despite its significant environmental impacts. The CEQA FOF document is compiled using the analysis and conclusions in the Draft Program EIR, and includes the required findings regarding project impacts and alternatives.

Once the Final Program EIR is prepared, Dudek will provide the City with electronic versions (Word and PDF) and up to 3 hard copies. The City shall be responsible for distribution of the responses to agency comments to the respective agencies, which is required at least 10 days prior to project approval. Dudek shall upload the Final Program EIR to the State Clearinghouse's CEQAnet database. In anticipation of the project moving to a public hearing shortly following the release of the Final Program EIR, Dudek will prepare a notice of determination (NOD) to be filed following project approval, as required by CEQA.

SUBJECT. HOLLYWOOD SPORTS PARK PROPOSAL
As part of the Final Program EIR process, Dudek's project manager and deputy project manager would attend and participate as needed in up to 2 public hearings for the project. Dudek would assist City staff with CEQA language to be used in the staff report. Dudek would also develop PowerPoint slides to be used during public hearings to provide information regarding the CEQA process and the Program EIR. Following project approval, Dudek will submit the NOD to the Los Angeles County Clerk, along with the required fees. Once filed with the County Clerk and a receipt received for payment of fees, Dudek will upload the NOD to the CEQAnet database, as required by CEQA.

Deliverables
■ Administrative Final Program EIR, including responses to all comments received and presentation of all text changes proposed to the draft Program EIR in electronic format. ■ Final Program EIR in electronic and hard copy formats. ■ Required notices (NOC, NOD).
■ CEQA Findings of fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations in electronic format. ■ Attendance of two (2) public hearings and preparation time.

Subtask 2.3: Project Management and Meetings
Dudek's project manager and deputy project manager will oversee all aspects of the project related to CEQA compliance, technical support, staff oversight, scheduling, and budget management. Dudek will participate in regular progress meetings with the City during an anticipated 18-month period of EIR preparation.

Fee Estimate
Work pursuant to this contract will be billed on a time -and -materials basis in accordance with Dudek's current rate sheet, not to exceed $15,095 for Task 1. Dudek understands the cost estimate provided for Task 2 ($294,882) is based on preliminary information and may be revisited and refined prior to beginning work on Task 2 to address additions or subtractions of technical scope items or increases or decreases in the complexity of the proposed documentation and CEQA process.
