Staff Report - Building Division User Fee Study
August 10, 2026
PUBLIC NOTICE
A Notice of Public hearing was published twice in the Los Cerritos Community Newspaper on July 31, 2026 and August 7, 2026. On July 27, 2026, a notice was provided in accordance with Government Code § 66016 to Southern California Gas Company, Southern California Edison, and the Building Industry Association pursuant to their written request on file with the City Clerk's Office (i.e., 14 -day notice mailed to anyone who filed a written request for such notice before April 1 of each year). A Notice of Public Hearing was also posted at City Hall, Brakensiek Library, Bellflower Substation, Thompson Park, and Caruthers Park on July 27, 2026.
BACKGROUND
On September 9, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to Willdan Engineering to provide complete in-house Building Division operations and fire plan check review and inspection services. Willdan Engineering commenced services on September 30, 2024 and was tasked with, among other things, assessing the current operations, identifying areas for improvement, and making the necessary changes to improve services to applicants, including an efficient, effective, and well -functioning Building and Safety Division. As part of that assessment, it was identified that the current permit fee structure presented challenges because plan check, inspection, and MEP fees are collected upfront and rolled collectively into one fee. It was recommended that the plan check, inspection, and MEP fees be separated to not only address accounting challenges, but to also provide clarity to the specific services being paid for.
To correct the challenges with the current fee structure and to ensure appropriate levels of cost recovery for the Building Division operations, the City contracted with Willdan Financial Services to prepare a cost of service and fee analysis commonly referred to as a User Fee Study ("Study").
DISCUSSION
➢ User Fee Study
The principal goal of the Study is to help the City determine the full cost of each service that the Building and Safety Division provides. The total cost of each service included in the study analysis is based on the full cost of providing City services, including direct salaries and benefits of City staff, direct departmental costs, and indirect costs from centralized services and support. The Study determined the full costs recovery fee for the City to provide each service; however, each fee is set at the City Council's discretion, up to 100% of the total cost, as specified in the Study. The Study involved, among other things, the identification of existing and potential new fees, fee schedule restructuring, data collection and analysis, and calculation of individual service costs (fees) or program cost recovery levels. The Study, which includes the proposed fee schedule, is included as Exhibit "A" to Resolution No. 26-32.
The last time the Building and Safety Division user fees were reviewed was in 2023 as part of the comprehensive user fee study. These fees have been adjusted annually by CPI. The proposed fees also reflect a restructuring of the building, plan check and permitting fees structures. If adopted, the new fees will continue to be adjusted annually by CPI.

DISCUSSION — Continued
➢ Notable Changes
The most notable changes with the proposed fee schedule include the following:
1. Bifurcating plan check review and permit/inspection fees. Currently, the permit fees include plan check review, inspections, and all associated MEPs into one single fee. This fee is collected upfront at the time of plan check submittal while the associated inspections for the project may not occur until well over a year later. This fee structure presents accounting challenges especially when a refund is requested if the applicant decides not to move forward with the project. Staff is tasked with determining the amount of time spent reviewing individual plans and the costs associated with that review, and then refunding the remainder of the fee.
As proposed, separating the plan check, inspection, and MEP fees helps simplify the fee structure and addresses the accounting challenges allowing for a clear fee structure for applicants and faster processing of administrative requests. In addition, separating the fees clarifies the specific services being paid for.
Additional changes to the MEP fees are described below.
2. Establishing separate MEP fees based on the specific permit request.
Currently, fees for MEPs specifically for residential and commercial projects are included with the permit fee regardless of the number of fixtures, switches, mechanical systems, etc. As proposed, the applicant will need to obtain separate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing permits and the cost of each of those permits will depend on the number and type of equipment being installed. By separating the MEP fees based on the specific permit request, this ensures a more accurate cost recovery because the permit and permit cost is more reflective of the work being done. It also ensures applicants can have a clear understanding of the services associated with each fee.
3. Establishing plan check and permit fees based on the project type. Currently, the fee structure is based on the square footage of the project, regardless of what type of project is proposed. For example, a 2,000 sq. ft. commercial tenant improvement is charged the same permit fee as a new 2,000 sq. ft. residential unit.
As proposed, fees would still be based on the square footage of the project, but are also separated by either residential or commercial project and separated by the project type (e.g., remodel, new construction, conversion, tenant improvement, etc.). As with the MEP fees, establishing permit fees based on the square footage of the project type ensures a more accurate cost recovery because the permit and permit cost is more reflective of the actual work being performed.
4. Clarifying and Adding Appropriate Fire review and inspection fees. Currently, there are only two types of fire related permits in the fee schedule — residential fire sprinklers and commercial fire sprinklers. Due to the increasing demand from applicants choosing to submit fire plans to the City for review (rather than the available alternative of submitting through the Consolidated Fire Protection District), several fire related fees have been added to the fee schedule to appropriately account for these costs.

➢ Fee Comparisons
The proposed fee schedule is restructured to better represent the actual services being provided and more accurately account for time spent. While the structures do not allow for direct comparison, the following chart compares the current and proposed fees based on some of the most common project types. The total fees include both plan check review and inspections fees (which would be charged separately under the new structure, but for comparison have been combined in this chart). These fees do not include grading, fire, or MEP fees, which will continue to differ by project.

Executive Summary
The City of Bellflower (the "City") engaged Willdan Financial Services ("Willdan") to determine the full costs incurred by the City to support the various activities for which the City charges user fees. Due to the complexity and the breadth of performing a comprehensive review of fees, Willdan employed a variety of fee methodologies to identify the full costs of individual fees and program activities. This report and the appendices herein identify 100% full cost recovery for City services and the recommended level of recovery as determined through discussion with departmental staff. The recommended fees identified herein are either at or less than full cost recovery.

User Fee Background
Policy Considerations
User Fees recover costs associated with the providing specific services benefiting the user, thereby typically reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes.
In addition to collecting the direct cost of labor and materials associated with processing and administering user services, it is common for local governments to recover reasonable support costs. Support costs are those costs relating to a local government's central service departments that are allocable to the local government's operating departments. Central services support cost allocations were incorporated using the resulting indirect overhead percentages determined through the City's Cost Allocation Plan. This plan was used in the User Fee study to account for the burden placed upon central services by the operating departments in order to allocate a proportionate share of central service cost through the study.
As labor effort and costs associated with the provision of services fluctuate over time, a significant element in the development of any fee schedule is that it has the flexibility to remain current. Therefore, it is recommended that the City include an inflationary factor in the resolution adopting the fee schedule to allow the City Council, by resolution, to annually increase or decrease the fees.
The City may employ many different inflationary factors. The most commonly used inflator is some form of Consumer Price Index ("CPI") as it is widely well known and accepted. A similar inflator is the Bureau of Labor Statistics employment cost index that has a specific series for state and local government workers.
Since the primary factor for the cost of a City's services is usually the costs of the personnel involved, tying an inflationary factor that connects more directly to the personnel costs is reasonable if there is a clear method, or current practice of obtaining said factor.
Each City should use an inflator that it believes works the best for its specific situation and needs. It is also recommended that the City perform this internal review annually with a comprehensive review of services and fees performed every five years, which would include adding, amending, or removing fees for programs/services.

Study Objective
As the City of Bellflower seeks to efficiently manage limited resources and adequately respond to increased service demands, it needs a variety of tools. A User Fee Study provides assurance that the City has the best information and the best resources available to make sound decisions, fairly and legitimately set fees, maintain compliance with state law and local policies, and meet the needs of the City administration and its constituency. Essentially, a User Fee is a payment for a requested service provided by a local government that primarily benefits an individual or group.
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is based on the full cost of providing City services; including direct salaries and benefits of City staff, direct departmental costs, and indirect costs from central service support. This study determines the full cost recovery fee for the City to provide each service; however, each fee is set at the City's discretion, up to 100% of the total cost, as specified in this report.
The principal goal of the study was to help the City determine the full cost of the services that the City provides. In addition, Willdan established a series of additional objectives including:
• Developing a rational basis for setting fees
• Identifying subsidy amount, if applicable, of each fee in the model • Ensuring compliance with State law
• Developing an updatable and comprehensive list of fees • Maintaining accordance with City policies and goals
The study results will help the City better understand its true costs of providing services and may serve as a basis for making informed policy decisions regarding the most appropriate fees, if any, to collect from individuals and organizations that require individualized services from the City.
Scope of the Study
The scope of this study encompasses a review and calculation of user fees charged by the Building Division.
The study involved the identification of existing and potential new fees, fee schedule restructuring, data collection and analysis, orientation and consultation, quality control, communication and presentations, and calculation of individual service costs (fees) or program cost recovery levels.
Aim of the Report
The User Fee Study focused on the cost of City services, as City staff provide them at existing, or reasonably anticipated service levels and according to staffing needs, and policy and procedure requirements. This report provides a summary of the study results, and a general description of the approach and methods Willdan and City staff used to determine the recommended fee schedule. The report is not intended to document all the numerous discussions throughout the process, nor is it intended to provide an influential dissertation on the qualities of the utilized tools, techniques, or alternative approaches.

Project Approach and Methodology
Conceptual Approach
The basic concept of a User Fee Study is to determine the "reasonable cost" of each service provided by the City for which it charges a User Fee. The full cost of providing a service may not necessarily become the City's fee, but it serves as the objective basis as to the maximum amount that may be collected.
The standard fee limitation established in California law for such fees is the "estimated, reasonable cost" principle. In order to maintain compliance with the letter and spirit of this standard, every component of the fee study process included a related review. The use of budget figures, time estimates, and improvement valuation clearly indicates reliance upon estimates for some data.
Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is primarily based on the Fully Burdened Hourly Rates ("FBHRs") that were determined for City personnel directly involved in providing services. The FBHRs include not only personnel salary and benefits, but also any costs that are reasonably ascribable to personnel. The cost elements that may be included in the calculation of fully burdened rates are:
• Salaries & benefits of personnel involved
• Operating costs applicable to fee operations
• Departmental support, supervision, and administration overhead • Indirect City-wide overhead costs calculated through the Cost Allocation Plan An important factor in determining the fully burdened rate is in the calculation of productive hours for personnel. This calculation takes the available workable hours in a year of 2,080 and adjusts this figure to 1,650 productive or billable hours to account for calculated or anticipated hours' employees are involved in non -billable activities such as paid vacation, sick leave, holidays, and other considerations as necessary.
Dividing the full cost, including overhead, of a position by the number of productive hours provides the FBHR.
The FBHRs are then used in conjunction with time estimates, when appropriate for how a service is provided, to calculate a fee's cost based on the personnel and the amount of their time that is involved in providing each service.

Methodology
The method of analysis for calculating fees used in this report are the:
Case Study Method (Standard Unit Cost Build -Up Approach): This approach estimates the actual labor and material costs associated with providing a unit of service to a single user. This analysis is suitable when City staff time requirements do not vary dramatically for a service, or for special projects where the time and cost requirements are easy to identify at the project's outset. Further, the method is effective in instances when a staff member from one department assists on an application, service or permit for another department on an as -needed basis. Costs are estimated based upon interviews with City staff regarding the time typically spent on tasks, a review of available records, and a time and materials analysis.
Quality Control/Quality Assurance
All study components are interrelated, thus flawed data at any step in the process will cause the ultimate results to be inconsistent and unsound. The elements of our Quality Control process for User Fee calculations include:
• Involvement of knowledgeable City staff
• Clear instructions and guidance to City staff
• Reasonableness tests and validation
• Normalcy/expectation ranges
• Peer and Manager reviews
• Cross-checking
City Staff Contributions
As part of the study process, Willdan received tremendous support and cooperation from City staff, which contributed and reviewed a variety of components to the study, including:
• Budget and other cost data
• Staffing structures
• Fee and service structures, organization, and descriptions • Direct and indirect work hours (billable/non-billable) • Time estimates to complete work tasks
• Review of draft results and other documentation
• Suggested fees for Council consideration
A User Fee Study requires significant involvement of the managers and line staff from the departments on top of their existing workloads and competing priorities. The contributions from City staff were critical to this study. We would like to express our appreciation to the City and its staff for their assistance, professionalism, positive attitudes, helpful suggestions, responsiveness, and overall cooperation.

Bellflower User Fees
Cost Recovery
The cost recovery models, by department/division fee type, are presented in detail in Appendix C. Full cost recovery is determined by summing the estimated amount of time each position (in increments of minutes or hours) spends to render a service. Time estimates for each service rendered were obtained through interviews conducted with City staff for each department/division fee included in the study. The resulting cost recovery amount represents the total cost of providing each service. The City's current fee being charged for each service, if applicable, is provided in this section, as well, for reference.
It is important to note that the time data used to determine the amount of time each employee spends assisting in the provision of the services listed on the fee schedule is essential in identifying the total cost of providing each service, and will differ from City to City depending on staffing, positions involved, experience on staff, the use of consultants, and the policies and procedures in place for each City.
Specifically, in providing services, a number of employees are often involved in various aspects of the process, spending anywhere from a few minutes to several hours on the service.
The primary goal of this study was to identify the cost of City services, to provide information to help the City make informed decisions regarding the actual fee levels and charges. The responsibility of determining the final fee levels is a complicated task. City staff must consider many issues in formulating recommendations, and the City Council must consider those same issues and more in making the final decisions.
City staff assumes the responsibility to develop specific fee level recommendations to present to the City Council. Unfortunately, there are no fixed rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of Bellflower, and administrative and political discretion. However, in setting the level of full cost recovery for each fee, one should consider whether the service solely benefits one end user or the general community.
Public Contribution
The general concept for a user fee is that individuals (or groups) who receive a private benefit should pay 100% of the full cost of services provided to that individual (or group) that is separate from the general public. Services that are a public benefit should be funded entirely by the general fund's tax dollars.
Unfortunately, for the decision makers, some services fall into the range between these two extremes.
Reduced fees may constitute a public benefit as it encourages certain activities (such as to ensure public safety) or allow some people to be able to afford to receive services they otherwise could not at the full cost.
Despite the intent, it is important for the City and public to understand that reduced fee recovery ordinarily results in the General Fund paying for the difference in cost versus fee amount.

Impact on Demand (Elasticity)
Economic principles of elasticity suggest that increased costs for services (or higher fees) will eventually reduce the demand for the services; whereas lower fees may spark an incentive to utilize the services and encourage certain actions. Either of these results may be desirable to the City. However, the level of the fees that would cause demand changes is largely unknown. The cost of service study did not attempt to evaluate the economic or behavioral impacts of higher or lower fees; nevertheless, the City should consider the potential impacts of these issues when deciding on fee levels.
Summary
City staff is recommending setting user fees at 100% of the full cost identified in this study except for specific considerations where it makes sense. City and departmental goals, City Council priorities, policy initiatives, past experience, implementation issues, and other internal and external factors should influence recommendations and City Council decisions. In this case, the proper identification of additional services (new or existing services) and updating to a consistent and comprehensive fee schedule were the primary objectives of this study. City staff has reviewed the full costs and identified the recommended fee levels for consideration by City Council. The attached appendices exhibit these unit fees individually.
The preceding sections provide background for each department or division and the results of this study's analysis of their fees. For the full list of each fee's analysis, refer to Appendix Cof this report.

Building & Safety
The Building & Safety Division of the Planning Department is responsible for the enforcement of City standards governing the construction, alteration, and maintenance of buildings and structures.
This includes building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, energy, accessibility, and engineering plan check services, administration of abatement programs for substandard and unsafe structures, and providing State and local code administrative interpretations.
Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Building & Safety Division. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.
The analysis of Building & Safety flat fee services relied upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby the reasonable cost of each fee occurrence was determined using staff and consultant time involved in providing services to recover the direct cost of personnel involved and the pro -rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City central services.
City staff reviewed each service and identified the activities necessary to process applications, conduct plan reviews, perform inspections, provide administrative support, and complete other related tasks involved with ensuring compliance with the Building Code. These estimated service times were then multiplied by the respective fully burdened hourly rates of personnel to determine the full cost of providing each service.
Based on the analysis, the City developed a revised Building & Safety fee schedule designed to recover up to 100 percent of the estimated cost of providing services. The proposed fees and associated cost calculations are detailed inAppendixC& D.

Appendix A — Total Allowable Cost to be Recovered
Below are the total allowable costs that may be recovered through User Fees; however, only a percentage of the total allowable cost is realized as staff not only works on services related to User Fees, but also works on an array of other City functions during the operational hours of the City. The Fiscal Year End 2027 budget was used as the cost basis for overhead calculations. The amounts listed below will not reconcile to City budgets as costs that should not be included in overhead for personnel in the application of determining fully burdened hourly rates were excluded. Examples of these costs are capital, debt, monetary transfers, contract costs, and any other costs that are charged directly to the service requestor.

Appendix B —Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
Below are fully burdened hourly rates of staff positions that provide for the services detailed in Appendix C. The FBHRs were used to determine the full cost of each service. They include the salary and benefit costs for each position as well as all applicable overhead amounts for each position. The total salary and benefits are then divided by 1,650 productive or billable hours to reduce the total 2,080 workable hours in a year to remove hours when positions are paid but not on the job such as holidays, paid leave, and sick pay. A further reduction of under 10% is made for administrative, general, or non-specific work hours. For any user fee service request that is outside the scope of the fees detailed in Appendix C, or for services for which there is no fee currently set, the City can charge up to the full cost of the FBHR for personnel involved. An example of a fully burdened hourly rate calculation is below which details how the direct and indirect overheads for each department in Appendix A are applied to the Salary & Benefit (S&B) hourly rates.
The department overhead factors in AppendixA are applied to each City position and contracted position based on where they are located and budgeted so that the operating cost is appropriately applied. Contract employees that work at the City and utilize the City resources to provide services included in this study have the Direct Overhead applied as well as the Indirect Overhead, while contract employees that work externally only have the Indirect Overhead applied which includes the support from the central functions of the City as determined through the Cost Allocation Plan.

12 Building User Fee Study
-20-
Appendix C — Cost Recovery Analysis
The following tables provide the results of the analysis, resulting full cost recovery amount, and recommended fees.
All services and fees analyzed as part of this study are defined as fees under California law and fall under one or multiple categories of the exemptions defined in Proposition 26 of being either a specific government service or a regulatory or licensing fee. A cost analysis was performed to calculate the estimated reasonable full cost of each service, and suggested fees are recommended at or below those amounts. Estimated reasonable full costs were calculated based on City expenditures and time estimates.
Fees that include consultant or professional services include the cost of those third parties as well as administrative overhead of 4% which is the Building indirect overhead rate determined in the City's most recently completed Cost Allocation Plan from 2021. Any Building consultant or professional services that work onsite at the City include an additional 11% direct overhead (as shown Appendix A) as they utilize the City facilities and incur the departments other operating expenses.

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing to consider adopting Resolution No. 26-33 – A Resolution authorizing the City of Bellflower to join the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (“SCIP”); authorizing the California Statewide Communities Development Authority to accept applications from property owners, conduct special assessment and Mello-Roos proceedings, levy assessments and special taxes, form assessment districts and community facilities districts, and issue bonds within the territory of the City of Bellflower; approving form of acquisition agreement for use when applicable; and authorizing related actions.
DATE: August 10, 2026
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On April 13, 2026, the City Council authorized a development agreement with Bellflower 5 Inv, LLC (“Owner”) for the Flower Street Downtown Housing Project (“Project”). Owner requested the City participate in the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (“SCIP”), sponsored by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (“CSCDA”). The SCIP allows property owners to finance development-related fees by issuing bonds from CSCDA. All such public capital improvements, including those eligible for payment from development related fees, are authorized under the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982” at Government Code §§ 53311–53368.9.
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Open the public hearing; take documentary and testimonial evidence; and after considering the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 26-33; and
2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adopting the Resolution would authorize CSCDA to issue bonds to finance development related fees. The estimated fees for the Project amounts to $700,000.
Staff Report – Resolution No. 26-33
August 10, 2026
DISCUSSION
CSCDA is a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties. Over 500 cities, counties, and special districts throughout California are members of CSCDA. The SCIP was instituted by CSCDA in 2002 to allow owners of property in participating cities and counties to finance the development related fees. If the Owner applies to participate in the SCIP, and the City approves the application, development related fees in the amount of $700,000, may be financed by CSCDA bonds. The Owner, in consultation with the City and the SCIP team, may request that CSCDA form a financing district. Upon such request, CSCDA will establish and administer the district and levy an assessment or special tax, as applicable, on the Owner’s Property to repay the portion of the SCIP bonds allocable to the Project.
The benefits of the SCIP to the City include:
• Not liable for repayment of the bonds issued by CSCDA or for the assessments or special taxes, as applicable, imposed on the participating properties. • CSCDA handles all district formation, district administration, bond issuance and bond administration functions. A participating city, county or special district can provide tax-exempt financing to property owners through SCIP while committing virtually no staff time to administer the program.
For home buyers purchasing homes in the Project, paying the costs of public infrastructure through an assessment or special tax can be a better alternative than having these costs added to the mortgage balance. The tax bill will be higher, but the amount of mortgage is smaller, making it easier to qualify for a home purchase.
The draft Resolution authorizes the City’s participation in the SCIP. It also authorizes CSCDA to form assessment districts and community facilities districts within the City’s boundaries, conduct assessment and special tax proceedings and levy assessments and special taxes against the property of the Owner.
The Resolution further authorizes execution of a joint community facilities agreement to be executed into between CSCDA and the City.

SECTION 4: Local Approval. This Resolution constitutes full "local approval," under Section 9 of the Joint Powers Agreement, for the Authority to issue bonds from time to time in accordance with this Resolution and to issue any refunding bonds for those bonds.
SECTION 5: Consent to Special Assessment Proceedings. The City consents to the Authority's conduct of special assessment proceedings for SCIP under the 1913 Act, and to the issuance of Local Obligations under the 1915 Act, on any property within the Proposed Boundaries, but only if:

City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 26-33
favor of the assessment, as required by Article XIIID, § 4 of the California Constitution.
SECTION 6: Consent to Mello-Roos Proceedings. The City consents to the Authority's conduct of proceedings under the Mello -Roos Act to form CFDs with boundaries coterminous with the Proposed Boundaries, to authorize a special tax, and to issue bonds for those CFDs, but only if the Participating Developers, who will own the property when the CFD is formed, sign a written consent to the levy of the special tax for SCIP by the Authority and sign a ballot in favor of forming the CFD under the Mello-Roos Act. The City approves the use of the local goals and policies the Authority adopted under Government Code § 53312.7 in forming CFDs.
SECTION 7: Facilities, Fees, and Services. CFDs the Authority forms may finance any or all of the facilities, fees, and services authorized under the Mello-Roos Act.
The City's appropriate officials and staff must cooperate with the Authority and its special tax consultant and other consultants to determine the facilities, fees, and services to be financed within each CFD and to calculate the appropriate special tax to fund the Services for each CFD, both at initial formation and at the annual levy. If Improvements, Fees, or Services are to be owned, used, or provided by a Third Party Local Agency, the Authority will separately identify them in its proceedings and will enter into a joint community facilities agreement with that Third Party Local Agency as required by the Mello-Roos Act.
Improvements and Fees will be funded through a CFD only if they are necessary to meet increased demands placed on the City by development occurring or expected within the proposed CFD, and Services will be funded through a CFD only if they are in addition to those provided in the CFD's territory before the CFD was created and do not supplant existing services. When each CFD is formed, the City must, if the Authority's procedures require, certify that these requirements are satisfied, in form and substance satisfactory to the Authority.
SECTION 8: Joint Community Facilities Agreement. This Resolution sets the terms of a "joint community facilities agreement" (as defined in Government Code § 53316.2) between the City and the Authority. The Authority's adoption of each ROI to form a CFD under the Mello-Roos Act to finance Agency Improvements, Agency Fees, or Agency Services constitutes the Authority's acceptance of these terms for that CFD. This Resolution and the Authority's ROI for each CFD together form a separate, independent joint community facilities agreement for each CFD the Authority forms (each, a "Joint Agreement"). The City Council finds and determines that this Resolution and each Joint Agreement benefit the City's residents and customers and are in the best interests of the City's residents and of the future residents of the area within the proposed CFDs.
SECTION 9: Acquisition and Construction Fund. Proceeds from the sale of Local Obligations, and CFD special tax proceeds available to finance the Improvements, must be deposited in one or more special funds for each development project (the "Acquisition and Construction Fund"), which the Authority must establish and maintain for as long as the proceeds remain. The Acquisition and Construction Fund will be available for Agency Improvements and Agency Fees and for the Improvements and Fees of each Third Party Local Agency. Subaccounts will be created as needed. The Authority must promptly give written notice (which may be delivered electronically) to the City of the
City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 26-33
amount of Local Obligation proceeds or special taxes made available to finance Improvements and Fees. After all related Local Obligations for a CFD are retired, the Authority must remit any remaining special tax revenues from that CFD to the City and the other local agencies in the proportions specified in the Authority's proceedings. The City must apply any special tax revenues it receives only for authorized Agency Improvements, Agency Fees, or Agency Services, as applicable, and for its own administrative costs, and only as permitted by the CFD proceedings and the Mello-Roos Act.
SECTION 10: City Responsibility for Agency Improvements. As to the Authority and each Third Party Local Agency, the City must fully administer, and take full governmental responsibility for, the construction or acquisition of the Agency Improvements and the administration and expenditure of the Agency Fees . This responsibility includes environmental review; approval of plans and specifications; bid requirements; performance and payment bond requirements; insurance requirements; contract and construction administration; staking; inspection; acquisition of necessary interests in real or personal property; the holding back and administration of retention payments; and punch-list administration. The Authority and each Third Party Local Agency will have no responsibility for these matters. The City reserves the right, as to each Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer to contract with the City to assume any or all of this responsibility.
SECTION 11: Indemnification — Construction. The City must indemnify and hold harmless the Authority, its other members, and those members' officers, agents, and employees, and each Third Party Local Agency and its officers, agents, and employees (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from all claims, suits, and damages (including costs and reasonable attorney fees) arising out of the design, engineering, construction, and installation of the Agency Improvements and the improvements to be financed or acquired with the Agency Fees. The City may require each Participating Developer, to assume, by contract with the City, any or all of this responsibility.
SECTION 12: Ownership, Maintenance, and Indemnification. As to the Authority and each Third Party Local Agency, once the Agency Improvements are constructed according to the approved plans and specifications and the City and the Participating Developer have put in place their agreed arrangements for funding maintenance of the Agency Improvements, the City must accept ownership of the Agency Improvements, take maintenance responsibility for them, and indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless — to the extent provided in Section 11 — from all claims, suits, and damages of the kind described in Section 11 arising out of the use and maintenance of the Agency Improvements. The City reserves the right, as to the Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer to assume, by contract with the City, any or all of this responsibility.
SECTION 13: Acquisition Agreement. The City Council authorizes any Authorized Signatory to execute an Acquisition Agreement substantially in the form presented to the City Council, and as approved by the City Attorney. Any Authorized Signatory may individually execute the Acquisition Agreement and deliver it to the Participating Developer on the City's behalf, substantially in that form, with any changes
City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 26-33
the Authorized Signatory approves after consulting the City Attorney and the Authority's bond counsel. Execution and delivery conclusively evidence that approval.
SECTION 14: SCIP Applications. The City's appropriate officials and staff must make SCIP applications available to all property owners who are subject to Fees for new development within the City, who are conditioned to install Improvements, or whose plans for new development within the City require new or increased Services, and must inform those owners of their option to participate in SCIP . The Authority is responsible for providing the applications and related materials at its own expense. The City must designate appropriate staff to coordinate with the Authority and must provide the appropriate contact information to the Authority from time to time.
SECTION 15: Administration; Authorized Actions. The Authority will administer the Assessment Districts and CFDs, including employing and paying all consultants, annually levying the assessments and special tax, and handling all aspects of paying and administering the Local Obligations, and will comply with all state and federal requirements that apply to the proceedings, including the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The City must cooperate with the Authority regarding the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and, to the extent the City's information is needed, to enable the Authority to meet its disclosure and continuing-disclosure obligations for the Local Obligations and any revenue bonds. The City will not participate, and will not be considered a participant, in the proceedings for the CFDs (except as a party to each Joint Agreement), and the City is not, and will not be considered, an issuer of the Local Obligations or any revenue bonds. The City's appropriate officials and staff must execute and deliver the certificates, requisitions, agreements, and related documents — including any documents bond counsel requires — reasonably required by the Authority under the Manual to implement SCIP and to evidence compliance with federal and state law for the Authority's issuance of the Local Obligations and any other SCIP bonds. Any Authorized Signatory or other appropriate City official may give or take all amendments, consents, approvals, notices, orders, requests, and other actions permitted or required by this Resolution, any Joint Agreement, or any related document that may be necessary or desirable in connection with forming any Assessment District or CFD, issuing Local Obligations, or administering proceeds of Local Obligations or special taxes, without further authorization from this City Council.
SECTION 16: SCIP Manual of Procedures. The Authority has prepared, and will update from time to time, the "SCIP Manual of Procedures" (the "Manual"). The City must handle bond proceeds and special tax collections for properties participating in SCIP in accordance with the Manual.
SECTION 17: Public Benefits. Under Government Code § 6586.5, notice was published at least five days before the adoption of this Resolution, and the City Council conducted a duly noticed public hearing concerning the significant public benefits of SCIP and the financing of the Improvements and the public capital improvements to be paid for with the proceeds of the Fees. The City Council finds and declares that the Authority's issuance of revenue bonds to purchase Local Obligations, and the issuance of bonds to refund those revenue bonds, in connection with SCIP will provide significant public benefits, including, without limitation, savings in effective interest rate and in bond
City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 26-33
preparation, underwriting, and issuance costs, and the more efficient delivery of local agency services to residential and commercial development within the City.
SECTION 18: Amendments. The City and the Authority may amend the terms of this Resolution and each Joint Agreement embodied by it by a writing duly authorized, executed, and delivered by both. After the Authority issues the Local Obligations, no amendment that would be detrimental to the interests of the bondholders may be made without complying with all bondholder-consent provisions governing the amendment of the bond resolutions, bond indentures, or similar instruments for all outstanding Local Obligations.
SECTION 19: No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for the indemnifications extended to each Third Party Local Agency in each Joint Agreement, and the City's agreement to take responsibility for and ownership of the Agency Improvements, no person or entity — including a Participating Developer — is a third-party beneficiary of this Resolution. Nothing in this Resolution, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person or entity, other than the Authority and the City (and their respective successors and assigns), any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or because of this Resolution.
SECTION 20: Specific Authorizations. The City Council specifically authorizes the following:

City of Bellflower
Resolution No. 26-33
SECTION 22: Severability.

Resolution to Join SCIP

Description: This item includes a brief staff presentation regarding the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (“CSCDA”) and participation in the Statewide Community Infrastructure Program (“SCIP”), which is sponsored by CSCDA, followed by City Council discussion, a public hearing to take public testimony on SCIP and bonds to be issued by CSCDA, and consideration of a resolution (the “Resolution”) making certain findings and authorizing certain matters necessary for the City of Bellflower (the “Agency”) to participate in SCIP.
Background: CSCDA is a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties. Over 500 cities, counties and special districts throughout California are members of CSCDA, including the Agency. SCIP was instituted by CSCDA in 2002 to allow owners of property in participating cities and counties to finance the development related fees that would be payable by property owners upon receiving development entitlements or building permits through a pooled special assessment districts program and later expanded to include financing of public capital improvements constructed by developers and public services necessary to support development in the Agency, as provided for in the proposed SCIP Resolution. Since its inception SCIP has issued over $1 billion in land secured special assessment and CFD bonds for development projects in California.
If a property owner applies to participate in SCIP, and the Agency approves the application, the selected public capital improvements, facilities and/or development related fees owed to the Agency will be financed by the issuance of bonds by CSCDA. Property owners, in consultation with the Agency and the SCIP team, can opt to have CSCDA form either an assessment district or a community facilities district. CSCDA determines whether the project will be included in the SCIP pool program (where no one developer within the SCIP pool is responsible for the payment related to any other project) or, depending on the projected bond sizing and other factors, implemented as a stand-alone financing. In either case, CSCDA will form the appropriate district and impose an assessment or special tax, as applicable, on the owner’s property to repay the portion of the bonds issued to finance public capital improvements, facilities and/or development related fees.
With respect to the financing of development related fees, the property owner will either pay the development fees at the time of permit issuance and will be reimbursed from the SCIP bond proceeds when the SCIP bonds are issued, or the fees will be funded directly from the proceeds of the SCIP bonds. In both cases, the fees are subject to requisition by the Agency at any time to make authorized fee expenditures, and the Agency is never at risk for payment of its fees. If the property owner is required to construct improvements to be dedicated to the Agency, the proposed SCIP Resolution includes a form of acquisition agreement to be used when such improvements are funded with SCIP bond proceeds, which outlines how a developer will be reimbursed for improvements as they are certified complete by the Agency.
The benefits of SCIP to the property owner include:
• Only property owners who choose to participate in the program will have assessments or special taxes imposed on their property.
• Instead of paying cash for public capital improvements and/or development related fees, the property owner receives low-cost, long-term tax-exempt financing of those fees, freeing up capital for other purposes.
• The property owner can choose to pay off the assessments or special taxes at any time. • For home buyers, paying for the costs of public infrastructure through an assessment or special tax is superior to having those costs "rolled" into the cost of the home. Although the tax bill is higher, the amount of the mortgage is smaller, making it easier to qualify. Moreover, because the assessment/special tax financing is at tax-exempt rates, it typically comes at lower cost than mortgage rates.
• Owners of smaller projects, both residential and commercial, can have access to tax-exempt financing of infrastructure. Before the inception of SCIP, only projects large enough to justify the formation of an assessment or community facilities district had access to tax-exempt financing. SCIP can finance projects as low as $500,000, which would not be economical on a stand-alone basis.
The benefits of SCIP to the Agency include:
• As in conventional assessment district and CFD financing, the Agency is not liable to repay the bonds issued by CSCDA or the assessments or special taxes, as applicable, imposed on the participating properties.
• CSCDA handles all district formation, district administration, bond issuance and bond administration functions. A participating city, county or special district can provide tax-exempt financing to property owners through SCIP while committing virtually no staff time to administer the program. • Providing tax-exempt financing helps participating cities and counties cushion the impact of rising public capital improvements costs and development related fees on new development. Many developers rely on assessment district or CFD financing through SCIP in making the decision to purchase land, thereby improving the Agency’s competitive advantage in attracting new development. • The availability of financing will encourage developers to pull permits and pay fees in larger blocks, giving the participating city, county or special district immediate access to revenues for public infrastructure, rather than receiving a trickle of revenues stretched out over time. As part of the entitlement negotiation process, the possibility of tax-exempt financing of fees can be used to encourage a developer to pay fees up front.
• In some cases, the assessments or special taxes on successful projects can be refinanced through refunding bonds. Savings achieved through a refinancing may be directed to lower property taxes subject to applicable federal tax limitations.
The proposed SCIP Resolution authorizes CSCDA to accept applications from owners of property within the planning jurisdiction to apply for tax-exempt financing of public capital improvements and development related fees through SCIP. It also authorizes CSCDA to form assessment districts and community facilities districts within the Agency’s boundaries, conduct assessment and special tax proceedings and levy assessments and special taxes against the property of participating owners.
In addition to the funding of public capital improvements and development related fees, the proposed SCIP Resolution authorizes CSCDA to form community facilities districts within the Agency’s boundaries to levy special taxes to fund public services necessitated by new development projects, if approved by the
participating property owner. Similar to the funding of public capital improvements and development related fees, once an application is received by the participating property owner and approved by the Agency, CSCDA handles all district formation and district administration. CSCDA will coordinate with the Agency annually to prepare the budget for the levy, and will levy and collect the special taxes for disbursement to the Agency when collected.
The Resolution further embodies the terms of a joint community facilities agreement to be entered into between CSCDA and the Agency for each community facilities district, setting provisions for collection and application of the special tax for use when a community facilities district is formed and approves the form of an acquisition agreement to be entered into between the Agency and the participating property owner/developer to provide the procedure for disbursement of bond proceeds to pay for facilities constructed by the property owner/developer. It also authorizes miscellaneous related actions and makes certain findings and determinations required by law.
Recommended Action: After City Council discussion and questions, open the public hearing to order and invite any interested members of the public to provide testimony regarding SCIP and the proposed action.

Section 1. This Resolution shall constitute full “local approval,” under Section 9 of the Joint Powers Agreement, for the issuance of bonds by the Authority from time to time in accordance herewith and the issuance of any refunding bonds therefor.
Section 2. The Agency hereby consents to the conduct of special assessment proceedings by the Authority in connection with SCIP pursuant to the 1913 Act and the issuance of Local Obligations under the 1915 Act on any property within the Proposed Boundaries; provided, that:
(1) Such proceedings are conducted pursuant to one or more Resolutions of Intention in substantially the form of the ROI; and
(2) The Participating Developers, who shall be the legal owners of such property at the time of the formation of the Assessment District, execute a written consent to the levy of assessments in connection with SCIP by the Authority and execute an assessment ballot in favor of such assessment in compliance with the requirements of Section 4 of Article XIIID of the State Constitution.
Section 3. The Agency hereby consents to the conduct of proceedings by the Authority under the Mello Roos Act to form CFDs with boundaries that shall be coterminous with the
Agency’s official boundaries of record at the time of such proceedings or any portion thereof (the “Proposed Boundaries”), and to authorize a special tax and to issue bonds with respect thereto; provided that the Participating Developers, who shall be the legal owners of such property at the time of formation of the CFD, execute a written consent to the levy of special tax in connection with SCIP by the Authority and execute a ballot in favor of the formation of such CFD and the Mello-Roos Act. The Agency approves the use of the local goals and policies adopted by the Authority under Section 53312.7 of the Mello-Roos Act in connection with the formation of CFDs.
Section 4. CFDs formed by the Authority may finance any or all of the facilities, fees and services authorized under the Mello-Roos Act. The appropriate officials and staff of the Agency are hereby authorized and directed to cooperate with the Authority and the Authority’s special tax consultant and other consultants to determine facilities, fees and services to be financed within each CFD and to calculate the appropriate level of the special tax to fund the Services for each CFD in connection with initial formation and in connection with the annual levy. The facilities are referred to herein as the “Improvements,” and the Improvements to be owned by the Agency are referred to as the “Agency Improvements.” The Fees paid or to be paid to the Agency are referred to as the “Agency Fees”. The Services funded are referred to as “Services”, and Services to be provided by the Agency are referred to as the “Agency Services”. Improvements, Fees or Services to be owned, used or provided by another local agency (a “Third Party Local Agency”), the Authority will separately identify them in its proceedings and will enter into a joint community facilities agreement with such Third Party Local Agency as required by the Mello- Roos Act. The Agency acknowledges that Improvements and Fees will be funded through a CFD only if they are necessary to meet increased demands placed upon the Agency as a result of development occurring or expected to occur within the proposed CFD and Services will be funded through a CFD only if they are in addition to those provided in the territory of the CFD before the CFD was created and will not supplant existing services. In connection with the formation of each CFD, as may be required by the Authority’s procedures, the Agency shall certify that such requirements are satisfied in form and substance satisfactory to the Authority.
Section 5. This Resolution sets the terms of a “joint community facilities agreement” (as defined in Section 53316.2 of the Mello Roos Act) between the Agency and the Authority.
Adoption of each Resolution of Intention to form a CFD under the Mello-Roos Act to finance Agency Improvements, Agency Fees or Agency Services shall constitute acceptance of the terms hereof by the Authority with respect to such CFD. This Resolution and the Authority’s Resolution of Intention for the respective CFDs shall together embody a separate and independent joint community facilities agreement for each CFD formed by the Authority (the “Joint Agreement”).
The City Council hereby finds and determines that this resolution and each Joint Agreement are beneficial to the residents/customers of the Agency and are in the best interests of the residents of the Agency, and of the future residents of the area within the proposed CFDs.
Section 6. Proceeds from the sale of Local Obligations and CFD special tax proceeds available to finance the Improvements shall be deposited in one or more special funds for each development project (the “Acquisition and Construction Fund”), which the Authority shall establish and maintain for so long as such proceeds remain. The Acquisition and Construction Fund will be available both for Agency Improvements and Agency Fees and for the Improvements and Fees pertaining to each Third Party Local Agency. Subaccounts shall be created as necessary.
The Authority shall promptly provide notice in writing (which may be delivered by electronic
means) to the Agency as to the amount of Local Obligation proceeds or special taxes made available to finance Improvements and Fees. The Authority will remit any special tax revenues from any particular CFD remaining after the final retirement of all related Local Obligations to the Agency and to the other local agencies in the proportions specified in the Authority’s proceedings.
The Agency will apply any such special tax revenues it receives for authorized Agency Improvements, Agency Fees and/or Agency Services, as applicable, and its own administrative costs only as permitted by respective CFD proceedings and by the Mello-Roos Act.
Section 7. As respects the Authority and each Third Party Local Agency, the Agency agrees to fully administer, and to take full governmental responsibility for, the construction or acquisition of the Agency Improvements and for the administration and expenditure of the Agency Fees, as applicable, including but not limited to environmental review, approval of plans and specifications, bid requirements, performance and payment bond requirements, insurance requirements, contract and construction administration, staking, inspection, acquisition of necessary property interests in real or personal property, the holding back and administration of retention payments, punch list administration, and the Authority and each Third Party Local Agency shall have no responsibility in that regard. The Agency reserves the right, as respects each Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer to contract with the Agency to assume any portion or all of this responsibility.
Section 8. The Agency agrees to indemnify and to hold the Authority, its other members, and its other members’ officers, agents and employees, and each Third Party Local Agency and their officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any and all claims, suits and damages (including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of the design, engineering, construction and installation of the Agency Improvements and the improvements to be financed or acquired with the Agency Fees. The Agency reserves the right, as respects each Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer to assume by contract with the Agency any portion or all of this responsibility.
Section 9. As respects the Authority and each Third Party Local Agency, the Agency agrees – once the Agency Improvements are constructed according to the approved plans and specifications, and the Agency and the Participating Developer have put in place their agreed arrangements for the funding of maintenance of the Agency Improvements – to accept ownership of the Agency Improvements, to take maintenance responsibility for the Agency Improvements, and to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph from any and all claims, etc., arising out of the use and maintenance of the Agency Improvements. The Agency reserves the right, as respects the Participating Developer, to require the Participating Developer by contract with the Agency to assume any portion or all of this responsibility.
Section 10. The form of the Acquisition Agreement presented to the City Council is hereby approved, and the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, Director of Finance, and City Manager, or any such officer’s designee (each, an “Authorized Signatory”) are each individually authorized to execute, and deliver to the Participating Developer, the Acquisition Agreement on behalf of the Agency in substantially that form, with such changes as shall be approved by the Authorized Signatory after consultation with the City Attorney and the Authority’s bond counsel, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery thereof.
Section 11. The terms of this Resolution and each Joint Agreement embodied by this Resolution may be amended by a writing duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Agency and the Authority, except that no amendment may be made after the issuance of the Local Obligations by the Authority that would be detrimental to the interests of the bondholders without complying with all of the bondholder consent provisions for the amendment of the bond resolutions, bond indentures or like instruments governing the issuance, delivery and administration of all outstanding Local Obligations.
Section 12. Except to the extent of the indemnifications extended to each Third Party Local Agency in each Joint Agreement embodied by this Resolution, and the Agency’s agreement to take responsibility for and ownership of the Agency Improvements, no person or entity, including the Participating Developer, shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Resolution, and nothing in this Resolution (either express or implied) is intended to confer upon any person or entity other than the Authority and the Agency (and their respective successors and assigns) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Resolution.
Section 13. The Agency hereby finds and declares that the issuance of revenue bonds by the Authority to purchase Local Obligations, and the issuance of bonds to refund such revenue bonds, in connection with SCIP will provide significant public benefits, including without limitation, savings in effective interest rate, bond preparation, bond underwriting and bond issuance costs, and the more efficient delivery of local agency services to residential and commercial development within the Agency.
Section 14. The Authority has prepared and will update from time to time the “SCIP Manual of Procedures” (the “Manual”), and the Agency will handle bond proceeds and special tax collections for properties participating in SCIP in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Manual.
Section 15. The appropriate officials and staff of the Agency are hereby authorized and directed to make SCIP applications available to all property owners who are subject to Fees for new development within the Agency and/or who are conditioned to install Improvements and/or whose plans for new development within the Agency necessitate new or increased levels of Services and to inform such owners of their option to participate in SCIP; provided, that the Authority shall be responsible for providing such applications and related materials at its own expense. The Agency shall designate appropriate staff who shall be responsible for coordination with the Authority, and shall provide the appropriate contact information to the Authority from time to time.
Section 16. The Authority will administer the Assessment Districts and CFDs, including employing and paying all consultants, annually levying the assessments and special tax and all aspects of paying and administering the Local Obligations, and complying with all State and Federal requirements appertaining to the proceedings, including the requirements of the United States Internal Revenue Code. The Agency will cooperate fully with the Authority in respect of the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to the extent information is required of the Agency to enable the Authority to perform its disclosure and continuing disclosure obligations with respect to the Local Obligations and any revenue bonds, although the Agency will not participate in nor be considered to be a participant in the proceedings respecting the CFDs (other
than as a party to each Joint Agreement) nor will the Agency be or be considered to be an issuer of the Local Obligations nor any revenue bonds. The appropriate officials and staff of the Agency are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver such certificates, requisitions, agreements and related documents, including but not limited to such documents as may be required by bond counsel in connection with the participation in SCIP of any districts, authorities or other third-party entities entitled to own Improvements and/or to levy and collect Fees on new development to pay for public capital improvements within the jurisdiction of the Agency, as are reasonably required by the Authority in accordance with the Manual to implement SCIP and to evidence compliance with the requirements of federal and state law in connection with the issuance by the Authority of the Local Obligations and any other bonds for SCIP. Further, all amendments, consents, approvals, notices, orders, requests and other actions permitted or required by this Resolution, any Joint Agreement, or any document executed in connection with Local Obligations and revenue bonds issued by the Authority, which may be necessary or desirable in connection with the formation of any Assessment District or CFD, issuance of Local Obligations, or administration of proceeds of Local Obligations or special taxes may be given or taken by any Authorized Signatory or other appropriate official of the Agency without further authorization by this City Council.

ARTICLE II
DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND ACQUISITION OF ACQUISITION IMPROVEMENTS Section 2.01. Letting and Administering Design Contracts. The parties presently anticipate that the Developer has awarded and administered or will award and administer engineering design contracts for the Acquisition Improvements to be acquired from Developer.
All eligible expenditures of the Developer for design engineering and related costs in connection with the Acquisition Improvements (whether as an advance to the Local Agency or directly to the design consultant) shall be reimbursed at the time of acquisition of such Acquisition Improvements.

Section 2.02. Letting and Administration of Construction Contracts; Indemnification. State law requires that all Acquisition Improvements not completed prior to the formation of the District shall be constructed as if they were constructed under the direction and supervision, or under the authority, of the Local Agency. In order to assure compliance with those provisions, except for any contracts entered into prior to the date hereof, Developer agrees to comply with any applicable requirements of the Local Agency with respect to the bidding and contracting for the construction of the Acquisition Improvements. The Developer agrees that all
B-7 4155-8093-8767.14
the contracts shall call for payment of prevailing wages as required by the Labor Code of the State of California. The Developer’s indemnification obligation set forth in Section 3.01 of this Agreement shall also apply to any alleged failure to comply with the requirements of this Section, and/or applicable State laws regarding public contracting and prevailing wages.
Section 2.03. Sale of Acquisition Improvements. The Developer agrees to sell to the Local Agency each Acquisition Improvement to be constructed by Developer (including any rights-of-way or other easements necessary for the Acquisition Improvements, to the extent not already publicly owned), when the Acquisition Improvement has been constructed and is complete to the satisfaction of the Local Agency for an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Available Amount or (ii) the Actual Cost of the Acquisition Improvement. Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein, contains a list of the Acquisition Improvements. Portions of an Acquisition Improvement eligible for Installment Payments prior to completion of the entire Acquisition Improvement are described as eligible, discrete and usable portions in Exhibit A (each, an “Eligible Portion”). At the time of completion of each Acquisition Improvement, or Eligible Portion thereof, the Developer shall deliver to the Local Agency Engineer a written request for acquisition, accompanied by an Actual Cost Certificate, and by executed Title Documents for the transfer of the Acquisition Improvement where necessary. In the event that the Local Agency Engineer finds that the supporting paperwork submitted by the Developer fails to demonstrate the required relationship between the subject Actual Cost and eligible work, the Local Agency Engineer shall advise the Developer that the determination of the Actual Cost (or the ineligible portion thereof) has been disallowed and shall request further documentation from the Developer. If the further documentation is still not adequate, the Local Agency Engineer may revise the Actual Cost Certificate to delete any disallowed items and the determination shall be final and conclusive.
Certain soft costs for the Acquisition Improvements, such as civil engineering, may have been incurred pursuant to single contracts that include work relating also to the private portions of the Project. In those instances, the total costs under such cont racts will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement as approved by the Local Agency Engineer. Where a specific contract has been awarded for design or engineering work relating solely to an Acquisition Improvement, one hundred percent (100%) of the costs under the contract will be allocated to that Acquisition Improvement. Amounts allocated to an Acquisition Improvement will be further allocated among the Eligible Portions of that Acquisition Improvement, if any, in the same proportion as the amount to be reimbursed for hard costs for each Eligible Portion bears to the amount to be reimbursed for hard costs for the entire Acquisition Improvement. Costs will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement as approved by the Local Agency Engineer. The costs of certain environmental mitigation required to mitigate impacts of the public and private portions of the Project will be allocated to each Acquisition Improvement as approved by the Local Agency Engineer.
In the event that the Actual Cost is in excess of the Available Amount, the Local Agency shall withdraw the Available Amount from the Acquisition and Construction Fund and transfer said amount to the Developer. In the event that the Actual Cost is less than the Available Amount, the Local Agency shall withdraw an amount from the Acquisition and Construction Fund equal to the Actual Cost, and shall transfer said amount to the Developer. Any amounts then remaining in the Acquisition and Construction Fund shall be applied as provided in Section 1.03.
In no event shall the Local Agency be required to pay the Developer more than the amount
B-8 4155-8093-8767.14
on deposit in the Acquisition and Construction Fund at the time such payment is requested.
Section 2.04. Conditions Precedent to Payment of Acquisition Price. Payment to the Developer or its designee of the Acquisition Price for an Acquisition Improvement from the Acquisition and Construction Fund shall in every case be conditioned first upon the determination of the Local Agency Engineer, pursuant to Section 2.03, that the Acquisition Improvement satisfies all Local Agency regulations and ordinances and is otherwise complete and ready for acceptance by the Local Agency, and shall be further conditioned upon satisfaction of the following additional conditions precedent:
(a) The Developer shall have provided the Local Agency with lien releases or other similar documentation satisfactory to the Local Agency Engineer as evidence that none of the property (including any rights-of-way or other easements necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Acquisition Improvement, to the extent not already publicly owned) comprising the Acquisition Improvement, and the property which is subject to the [assessments/Special Taxes] of the District, is not subject to any prospective mechanics lien claim respecting the Acquisition Improvements.
(b) All due and payable property taxes, and installments of [assessments/Special Taxes] shall be current on property owned by the Developer or under option to the Developer that is subject to the lien of the District. (c) The Developer shall certify that it is not in default with respect to any loan secured by any interest in the Project.
(d) The Developer shall have provided the Local Agency with Title Documents needed to provide the Local Agency with title to the site, right-of-way, or easement upon which the subject Acquisition Improvements are situated. All such Title Documents shall be in a form acceptable to the Local Agency (or applicable governmental agency) and shall convey Acceptable Title. The Developer shall provide a policy of title insurance as of the date of transfer in a form acceptable to the Local Agency Engineer insuring the Local Agency as to the interests acquired in connection with the acquisition of any interest for which such a policy of title insurance is not required by another agreement between the Local Agency and the Developer. Each title insurance policy required hereunder shall be in the amount equal to or greater than the Acquisition Price.
Section 2.05. SCIP Requisition. Upon a determination by the Local Agency Engineer to pay the Acquisition Price of the Acquisition Improvements pursuant to Section 2.04, the Local Agency Engineer shall cause a SCIP Requisition to be submitted to the Program Administrator. The Program Administrator will review the SCIP Requisition and forward it with instructions to the Authority Trustee and the Authority Trustee shall make payment directly to the Developer of such amount pursuant to the Authority Trust Agreement. The Local Agency and the Developer acknowledge and agree that the Authority Trustee shall make payment strictly in accordance with the SCIP Requisition and shall not be required to determine whether or not the Acquisition Improvements have been completed or what the Actual Costs may be with respect to such Acquisition Improvements. The Authority Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the SCIP Requisition on its face without any further duty of investigation.

SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to receive, file and provide direction on the conceptual Arts District Overlay Zone (ADOZ).
DATE: August 10, 2026
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council continues to look for options to bring life to the vacant and underused properties along Clark Avenue between Alondra Boulevard and Flower Street (the "corridor"). Per the Council's previous direction, Planning staff worked with De Novo Planning Group ("De Novo") to develop a conceptual Arts District Overlay Zone ("ADOZ") that would give this stretch of Clark Avenue a new set of zoning rules built around arts, culture, and small-scale local business. Based upon the City Council's actions tonight, a draft ordinance would be prepared to implement the ADOZ. Among other things, such regulations would identify which businesses are allowed, how new and rehabilitated buildings should look from the sidewalk, and how residents could live and work in the same space. This approach would advance the City's larger goals of drawing private investment back to the corridor, adding housing choices, and making arts and culture a visible part of everyday life in Bellflower.
The Overlay would be entirely voluntary; a property owner may choose to develop under the new arts -district rules, but no owner has to. Owners who do not opt in would keep their current zoning unchanged. This report explains the trade-off the overlay offers property owners which includes more flexibility and faster, cheaper approvals in exchange for design and use standards that build a coherent arts district. It also highlights the policy choices the Council should weigh before the overlay moves forward.
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Receive, file, and provide direction regarding the conceptual ADOZ; or 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

FISCAL IMPACT
Receiving and filing this report has no fiscal impact. If the Council later directs staff to carry out specific programs, those programs may carry their own costs, which staff will evaluate as part of those discussions.
BACKGROUND
On both sides of Clark Avenue between Alondra Boulevard and Flower Street, many commercial and office spaces sit vacant or underused; a number of them are legal non -conforming buildings that no longer match current zoning. As part of its work to revitalize commercial corridors and create distinctive housing options, the City Council explored building an Arts District here to spur redevelopment and bring art -focused events, spaces, and programs into the community.
Between November 2022 and July 2023, the City prepared an Arts District Study (the "Study") to weigh options for creating an Arts District and expanding arts programming.
The Study looked at two areas along Clark Avenue: Area 1, from Alondra Boulevard south to Oak Street, and Area 2, from Flower Street south to Rose Street. It found Area 1 to be the most walkable part of the corridor, with a cluster of small, legal non -conforming commercial and office buildings marked by ongoing vacancies and deferred maintenance.
Because these buildings sit on shallow lots, the Study recommended rehabilitating, re -tenanting, and repurposing them for mixed use rather than tearing them down. Area 2, holds larger, mostly occupied commercial and industrial parcels that respond more to market forces than to City policy. The Study therefore recommended concentrating early efforts on Area 1. Following City Council direction during the July 10, 2023 study session, staff began the initial steps into preparing an Arts District Overlay Zone on Clark Avenue between Alondra Boulevard and Flower Street.
Consistent with that direction, in 2024 the City's consultant at the time conducted community outreach, including outreach at the Summer Street Fests and Farmers Market events and through an online survey shared on the City's website and social media. The eight -question survey asked about the community's interest in arts uses along Clark Avenue and in citywide public art. 281 people responded, and a large majority supported both creating an Arts District and expanding public art across the city.
The Study was a policy and feasibility assessment, not a set of enforceable rules. To turn its concepts into an ordinance the City can adopt, and to independently test its conclusions, the City sought a firm with expertise in land use planning, zoning code drafting, and California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review. On August 11, 2025, the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute Agreement File No. 805.2 with De Novo to help draft conceptual regulations including a General Plan Amendment and CEQA review.

Staff Report — Study Session — Arts District
August 10, 2026
De Novo completed the foundational work under the Agreement, including a June 2026 Case Study Memorandum reviewing three comparable arts districts (Attachment C) and drafted potential zoning regulations (that are still being reviewed) for properties along Clark Avenue between Alondra Boulevard and Oak Street (Attachment A). Staff recommends moving the overlay's southern boundary from Oak Street to Flower Street so that Simms Park can anchor future arts programming and community events. De Novo also studied Clark Avenue from Flower Street to the southern city border and concluded that this segment does not suit the ADOZ, for three reasons.
First, part of the south corridor already falls under the Housing Opportunity Overlay Zone, so a second overlay would duplicate rules already in place. Second, the area's largely commercial and industrial character lacks the smaller, walkable, convertible storefronts an arts district depends on, leaving little room for the infill, adaptive reuse, and cohesive design the district needs. Third, Simms Park gives the district a natural southern edge and gateway, supporting a unified approach to identity, signage, and streetscape. Staff therefore recommends setting the district's southern boundary at Flower Street and leaving out the segment between Flower Street and Rose Street. Because the overlay would allow residential and live/work uses in places where they are not permitted today, adopting it will also require an amendment to the General Plan Land Use Element, which staff would prepare if directed by the City Council.
DISCUSSION
1. How the Overlay Works
The ADOZ concept is a voluntary set of zoning rules layered on top of the corridor's existing base zoning. A property owner may elect to develop under the overlay in place of the base zoning, but the choice is the owner's alone. Without opting in, property owners are subject to the existing zoning. For an owner who does opt in, the overlay's rules control wherever they differ from the base zoning, even where the overlay is more permissive, so a single, predictable framework governs the project. Where the overlay says nothing about a particular subject, the City's standard code and the underlying zoning still apply. This design is the central policy feature of the overlay: it lets the City set a clear vision for the corridor while leaving each owner free to decide whether the arts -district path fits their property. The City Council previously implemented the CENTZ (in 2019) and the DAZL (in 2020). Much like the ADOZ, these overlay zones must be activated by an applicant, i.e., an owner must opt in for the zoning overlay. Absent such application, the underlying zoning remains.
The ADOZ is designed to make the arts -district path the easier and faster one. Small projects, including urban infill, the reuse of existing buildings, and new construction under 10,000 square feet would be prioritized for streamlined environmental review under CEQA, which should shorten timelines and reduce cost for the modest, incremental projects the corridor needs.

2. Permitted Uses
The overlay includes an expanded, arts -focused list of businesses that may operate along the corridor. Alongside anything already allowed in the base zone, the overlay welcomes creative and neighborhood -serving uses such as art galleries, studios, art schools, photography and recording studios, small indoor makers, craft and supply stores, bookstores, florists, cafes, bakeries, and ice cream parlors. Most of these uses would be allowed by -right, meaning an owner may open them without a discretionary permit. A smaller group of higher -intensity uses, such as makerspaces, breweries, larger museums and theaters, and performance venues, would require an administrative or conditional use permit so the City can review parking, noise, hours, and similar neighborhood effects before they open.
This use list is meant supports a "maker economy," where goods are produced and sold in the same place, and it closely tracks the businesses residents said they wanted through the community survey — galleries, coffee shops, music and fabric stores, craft stores, restaurants, dance studios, and bookstores. A few practical safeguards keep these uses compatible with their neighbors: small-scale manufacturing must stay under 5,000 square feet and occur entirely indoors, and recording studios must meet an interior noise limit to protect any attached homes. Uses that are not on the list are not allowed unless the Planning Director determines a proposed use is substantially similar to a listed one and fits the district's purpose, which gives the City room to adapt as new creative business types emerge without reopening the ordinance.
3. Live/Work Units
The overlay allows live/work units, a single space where a resident both lives and runs a creative business. This is one of the overlay's most significant policy moves, because it introduces housing into a portion of the corridor where residential use is not permitted today, and it does so in a form tailored to artists and makers. Live/work units would not be capped by the base zone's residential density limits, which gives owners flexibility to add homes as part of a creative enterprise rather than as stand-alone apartments.
The rules keep these units functioning as true live/work space, rather than housing in disguise. Each unit must be at least 750 square feet, with a defined share of the space set aside for the business and the rest for living. The person living in the unit must be the one operating the business, and the living and working portions may not be leased or sold separately. An operator may employ up to two people who live elsewhere, and hiring more would require additional review of traffic and parking. Before opening, an operator must submit a short Creative Operations Plan confirming the business fits the district's creative and artisan focus. Certain uses and activities that do not mix safely with homes, such as adult businesses, vehicle repair, and open -flame or hazardous work are off-limits in a live/work unit, with narrow exceptions available only after fire and Building Official's sign off. The result is a housing option that keeps the corridor active and creative while protecting the people who live there.

4. A Walkable, Active Street: Frontage and Design
Much of the overlay is aimed at what pedestrians experience at street level, because a successful arts district depends on an inviting, active sidewalk. New development would generally reserve the ground floor facing Clark Avenue for active, public -facing uses such as shops, studios, and galleries, keeping homes on upper floors or toward the rear. For live/work units, the workspace must sit at the front along Clark Avenue, with the living space behind or above it.
Design standards reinforce this street -facing character. Storefronts would sit close to the sidewalk, with a shallow front setback that pulls buildings up to the street edge and puts activity on display. At least 60 percent of the ground -floor street frontage must be clear glass so passersby can see the activity inside, and primary entrances must open directly onto the sidewalk. To keep the street feeling open and safe rather than fortified, the overlay prohibits visible exterior security bars and roll -down metal grates, while still allowing less intrusive security measures. These design standards are the ones most directly tied to the community's vision.
5. Building Size and Setbacks
The overlay adjusts basic building rules to fit the corridor's small, shallow lots and to encourage reinvestment. Buildings could rise up to three stories or 40 feet, there would be no minimum lot size, and a building could cover its entire lot. Front setbacks would be shallow to bring storefronts to the sidewalk, and side and rear setbacks would not be required, which helps owners make full use of tight parcels. These allowances matter in practice because many of the corridor buildings could not be rehabilitated or expanded under conventional setback and lot coverage regulations.
The overlay also invites the district to spill out into the public realm in ways that add life to the street. With an encroachment permit, features such as awnings, canopies, plant containers, parklets, sidewalk dining, and even chalk or mural surfaces could extend into the right-of-way. Outdoor sculpture and murals meant to be seen from the street would need no permit and would not have to meet setback rules, as long as the art is not an advertisement and does not block pedestrian, bicycle, or vehicle traffic. Together, these provisions treat the sidewalk as part of the district's canvas and lower the barriers to the small touches that give an arts district its identity.
6. Parking
Parking is often the single biggest obstacle to reusing older commercial buildings, and the overlay addresses it directly. A live/work unit would need just two off-street spaces total, covering both the home and the business. When an existing building changes to a permitted creative use, it would not have to add parking it never had. This is an important allowance for the corridor's small legacy storefronts. Mixed -use projects would receive an automatic parking reduction that reflects the way homes and shops use spaces at different times of day, and required parking could be located off -site nearby when it will not fit on the lot. Conventional parking requirements would otherwise block much of the reinvestment the City is trying to encourage.

August 10, 2026
7. Development Incentives and Concessions
To make opting in worthwhile, the overlay offers a set of specific incentives. Projects under 5,000 square feet that do not need a variance or conditional use permit would be approved administratively by the Planning Director, without the time and expense of Planning Commission and City Council hearings; larger projects would still go through the standard public hearing process. Owners who convert older buildings, generally those built before 2026, would receive relief from several modern standards, such as lot coverage limits and landscape buffer requirements, provided the building still meets all life -safety and building -code requirements. The overlay also extends the sidewalk allowances by letting eligible storefronts use up to three feet of the sidewalk for art displays, signage, or seating, as long as a clear four -foot walking path remains. Each of these incentives lowers a cost or delay that would otherwise discourage the small, incremental investment the corridor needs.
8. Related General Plan Amendment
Because the overlay would allow housing where they are not permitted today, adopting it requires a matching change to the General Plan. If directed by the City Council, staff will prepare an amendment to redesignate the affected portions of the corridor to Mixed -Use so the General Plan and the overlay align. Staff would bring the amendment forward together with the final overlay.
➢ Direction Requested
Staff requests the City Council's direction on the concepts discussed in this staff report so that proposed regulations may be prepared for public hearing. The ADOZ ordinance, in addition to the General Plan Amendment and the appropriate environmental document, will be first presented to the Planning Commission in a public hearing and the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council. The ADOZ will then be scheduled for a public hearing before the City Council for adoption.

Arts District Overlay (ADOZ)
Summary
1. Land Uses
What is allowed by right. Any use already permitted in the base zone may operate here.
Live/work units may operate, and a list of arts -oriented businesses may operate by right — galleries, studios, art and craft stores, cafes, restaurants, bakeries, photographic studios, and tattoo parlors, among others. Artisanal or micro -manufacturing may operate by right, but each business must stay under 5,000 square feet and must keep all production indoors.
What needs a discretionary permit. Some uses may operate only with Director - or Commission -level approval:
• Administrative Use Permit (staff review): micro -brewery, makerspace, restaurant serving alcohol, and small ( 5,000 sq ft) community centers, museums, and theaters.
What is prohibited. A use not on the list is prohibited unless the Nanning Director finds it similar in character, intensity, and impact to a listed use. Live/work units must not be combined with adult businesses or auto repair/detailing.
Live/work rules. A live/work unit must be at least 750 square feet, must devote 33-50% of its floor area to workspace, and must be occupied by the business operator. Up to two non-resident employees may work in the unit; three or more require a Conditional Use Permit.
Policy decision points. The use list is arts -focused and largely by -right, which speeds approvals but narrows flexibility. Council may want to decide (a) whether the <5,000 sq ft manufacturing cap and indoor -only rule fit the businesses it wants to attract, and (b) how much discretion to leave the Planning Director over unlisted uses.
2. Building Height
• Buildings must not exceed 3 stories or 40 feet, whichever is lower. • There is no minimum lot size.
• Lot coverage may reach 100%.
Policy decision points. Forty feet over three stories, combined with full lot coverage and no minimum lot size, allows dense, small -lot infill. Council may want to confirm this scale fits the low -intensity character the overlay's purpose describes, and whether upper -floor step -backs or transitions to adjacent homes are needed. 1 -T
3. Parking
How much parking a project must provide:
• Commercial: one space per 500 square feet of building area. • Live/work: a flat two spaces per unit, covering both the home and the business.
Flexibility the overlay grants:
• Required parking may sit off -site within 500 feet under a recorded agreement or lease.
• A change from an existing use to a permitted creative use is entitled to an exemption from providing any additional parking.
• A mixed -use project is entitled to an automatic 20% reduction in required spaces.
Driveways. Each parcel must provide either a 20 -foot -wide driveway or two 10 -foot driveways.
Policy decision points. The parking rules are deliberately lenient — reductions, exemptions, and off -site options all lower the barrier to reuse. Council may want to weigh this against on -street parking demand along Clark Avenue and decide whether the 20% mixed -use reduction and the change -of -use exemption should stack.
4. Desig
Ground -floor / streetscape:
• On Clark Avenue, the street -facing ground floor must be an active, non-residential use; residential units must sit upstairs or to the rear (except on Housing Element sites).
• At least 60% of the ground -floor facade between 2 and 7 feet above grade must be clear glass, and primary entrances must open onto the sidewalk.
Building placement:
• Buildings must sit at a 0- to 5 -foot front setback (a build -to line at the sidewalk); no side or rear setback is required.
Awnings and canopies may project up to 6 feet, eaves up to 1 foot, and light fixtures up to 2 feet into the right-of-way.
Security features:
Laminated security glass is encouraged; exterior scissor grilles, roll -up metal doors, and permanent exterior security bars are prohibited.
Public art and sidewalk life:
• Outdoor murals and sculpture need no permit and are exempt from setbacks, provided the art is not for sale, is not an advertisement, and does not block traffic. • Eligible businesses may use up to 3 feet of the sidewalk for display or seating, but must keep a 4 -foot clear pedestrian path.
Live/work design: ground -floor units must have a 12 -foot ceiling in the workspace, must provide at least 40 square feet of open space, and must place the primary entrance facing Clark Avenue.
2 -8
Adaptive reuse: converting a pre -2026 building to a creative or live/work use is exempt from current lot -coverage limits, and existing nonconforming setbacks are treated as conforming.
Policy decision points. The design rules push a continuous, transparent, pedestrian storefront wall at the sidewalk. Council may want to confirm that the mandatory active - ground -floor rule is workable on every block, and that the security -device prohibitions match business owners' safety concerns.

CASE STUDIES
1. Haynie's Corner, Evansville, Indiana
Adjacent to the Ohio River in downtown Evansville, Indiana, Haynie's Corner Arts District (District) is a creative community of four neighborhoods: Riverside, Culver, Goosetown, and Blackford's Grove.' The area's transformation was initially kickstarted in October 2006 when the City Council officially designated the area as the Haynie's Corner Arts District. This formal branding was specifically designed to attract artists to live and work in the area, fueling early private investment, gallery openings, and the restoration of historic properties to transition the district from a historically blighted area into a vibrant mixed -use neighborhood.
Evansville Arts Redevelopment Area Plan
In February 2010, the Evansville Redevelopment Commission published the Evansville Arts Redevelopment Area Plan, which focused on revitalizing an approximately 40-50 block area.2 Haynie Corner faced falling property values due to the disproportionate number of neglected rental properties, unmaintained infrastructure (utilities, sidewalks, and streets), and a lack of capital reinvestment. Since there was not a large, established arts community already present, the City recognized that to successfully execute the Haynie's Corner arts branding and convince artists to relocate there, they first needed to address the neighborhood's built environment. While attracting artists was an overarching economic goal, the primary objectives of the 2010 Plan focused strictly on comprehensive neighborhood revitalization through infrastructure and housing upgrades.
The Plan aimed to eliminate blighted,
substandard buildings and
environmental hazards while using
strict code enforcement to target
neglected rental, vacant, and
abandoned properties. It sought to
stabilize the community by
rehabilitating structures, infilling
vacant lots with new market -rate and
mixed -use developments, and
transitioning qualified renters into
homeowners.
To achieve these objectives, the Plan
directed the City to implement a
revitalization strategy categorized into
four core areas:
• Zoning and Design Controls: Explore form -based or overlay zoning options, establish strict design guidelines, and appoint a Design Review Committee to guide neighborhood aesthetics. • Financial and Property Incentives: Establish a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district to fund public ' Haynie's Corner Arts District Association, Haynie's Corner Arts District, 2026.

infrastructure. To attract and retain owner occupants, the City will offer targeted grants to Low to Moderate Income (LMI) residents, gap financing, interest rate buydowns, and free or discounted properties, while continuing to land bank unused parcels. • Community and Professional Partnerships: Mobilize a local volunteer corps, partner directly with building and design professionals, and secure corporate and university sponsorships to coordinate labor and material donations.
• Sustainable Rehabilitation: Launch a building material salvage program to reclaim, recycle, and reuse architectural elements from demolished structures.
Evansville Municipal Code Chapter 18.115, Arts Overlay Zone Soon after the Redevelopment Plan was published, Evansville passed the Arts Overlay Zone Ordinance in 2011.
The purpose of the Arts Overlay Zone (AOZ) is to:
"[...] facilitate investment involving improvements to land and structures within the district, while encouraging artistic and creative uses. The ADZ overlays properties already classified into existing zoning districts. The objective is to offer more flexibility in uses allowed
and development standards in the AOZ as
incentives for new development. The intended
result of the overlay is to help establish a mixed use
area with art -related businesses, other low
intensity, neighborhood -supporting businesses,
live/work units and traditional residences
integrated together in a manner that maintains the
residential character of the area. The AOZ uses an
innovative approach allowing artists and owners
and operators of support businesses to occupy
joint living and commercial space within the same
structure that would otherwise not be allowed in
many of the underlying zoning districts. The
creation of the A0Z promotes investment through
mixed use development that expands the presence
of and/or otherwise enhances the arts within the
zone."3
Geographically, the AOZ does not cover the entirety of Haynie's Corner. Instead, it functions as a targeted regulatory core positioned directly in the center of the district. While the broader Haynie's Corner area encompasses four historic residential neighborhoods, the strict legal boundaries of the AOZ are tightly drawn around the central commercial and mixed -use blocks immediately surrounding the intersection of Putnam, Adams, Jefferson, and Washington avenues.

The AOZ is divided into three distinct areas:
• Residential live/work area. Encompassing the eastern portion of the zone, this area features the lowest intensity of commercial activity to preserve its traditional neighborhood character. Non-residential activities are strictly limited, and any commercial use on residentially -zoned properties must remain strictly secondary and accessory to the primary home, requiring the business owner to live on -site. To protect the surrounding residents while fostering a creative community, the code permits a highly specific, limited list of low -impact uses. These include art studios, art galleries, photographic studios, in - home catering, art or culinary schools/classes, and approved home occupations. All such operations must be conducted entirely within enclosed structures, maintain strict quiet hours, and produce no external noise, glare, or odors that disrupt the neighborhood. • Residential transition area. Situated in the middle portion of the zone, this area serves as a physical and regulatory buffer between the commercial core and the quieter residential blocks. To bridge these two environments, the municipal code opens up a hybrid list of allowances. It permits low -intensity commercial activities like art supply/craft stores, picture frame shops, pottery/ceramic studios, jewelry shops, gift shops, and low -impact neighborhood retail alongside standard residences. • Commercial core area. Occupying the western end of the zone, this area acts as the primary commercial and economic anchor for the district. It permits higher -intensity, destination -style businesses that cater to both locals and tourists, such as specialty retail stores, convenience markets, standard restaurants with outdoor seating, and brew pubs. It grants property owners maximum commercial flexibility to stimulate foot traffic.

Haynie's Corner Arts District Association
While the Evansville Arts Redevelopment Area Plan and the 2011 Arts Overlay Zone laid the legal and physical foundation for the district, the Haynie's Corner Arts District Association (HCADA) served as vital community leaders that brought the district's brand to life. A group of volunteers came together in 2011 to form a board and organize around shared values hoping to promote art and enhance the neighborhood. Creating a mission, developing bylaws, and establishing an executive committee along with formal board members allowed the group to establish itself as a 501c3 in 2015.
The Association coordinates major recurring events that activate the streetscape, such as the monthly "First Fridays" (featuring free live music, food trucks, and family -friendly activities), "Front Porch Fest," and the "Funk in the City" art festival. By maintaining a dedicated board comprised of local business owners, working artists, and residents, the HCADA ensures that the neighborhood's ongoing economic development remains dedicated to supporting the arts, advocating for local creators, and sustaining a genuine sense of community.
2. South A Street (SOFA) Art District, Santa Rosa, California Officially called the South A Street Art District, but more familiarly known as the SOFA District in Santa Rosa, California, this two -block corridor (approximately 0.13 miles) adjacent to Highway 101 is home to nearly 30 to 40 working artists' studios, as well as several galleries and businesses.
Before it was an arts district, South A Street was a commercial and automotive service corridor with auto transmission repair garages, plumbing warehouses, and light industrial workshops. The district's formal identity took shape in the mid -2000s. An organic coalition of independent artists, businesses, and galleries began moving into the area around 2005. Artists targeted vacant automotive repair facilities because their structural features such as high ceilings, open floor plans, and roll -up garage bay doors were ideal for artistic production.
Downtown Station Area Specific Plan —
Neihborhood Mixed Use Desi;nation
In October 2020, the Santa Rosa City
Council adopted an updated Downtown
Station Area Specific Plan (DSASP),
which includes the SOFA District.'
Within the DSASP, the SOFA District is
currently zoned as Neighborhood
Mixed Use (NMU). The NMU
designation allows for new multi -family
development in all -residential or
mixed -use buildings, combined with a
broad mix of uses including
professional office, retail,
entertainment, and other
neighborhood -scale supporting uses.

Downtown Station Area Specific Plan — Active Ground Floor Overlay Along with the base NMU designation, within the DSASP, the SOFA District is also within an Active Ground Floor Overlay. The Overlay requires that new development activate the ground floor of buildings with uses and/or design techniques that engage the street and enhance the pedestrian environment. To comply, developments must provide at least two of the following features for frontages up to 90 linear feet, and at least three for frontages exceeding 90 feet:
1. Awnings or overhangs over all ground floor entrances;
2. One piece of street furniture per 15 linear feet of street frontage. Street furniture may include seating, ornamental planting boxes, informational kiosks, bicycle racks, or trash/recycling receptacles integrated into front setbacks where sidewalk width is not sufficient to accommodate street furniture;
3. Integrated public art in the form of a
mural, sculpture, light display, or other
original work of a permanent nature as
defined in the City Code;
4. At least 600 square feet of publicly
accessible active or passive recreational
space on -site, or in the form of a
curbside parklet;
5. A green/living wall of a size equivalent to
at least 15 percent of the building facade
as measured between two and 12 feet
above sidewalk level;
6. Innovative alternative strategies to
optimize the pedestrian experience
along Active Ground Floor Overlay
streets. Staff will evaluate proposals on a
case by case basis for compliance with
applicable DSASP Urban Design
Principles and development standards.
Surface parking is strictly prohibited
between the sidewalk and the front building
facade. Loading and service areas are not
allowed to be visible from streets in the
Active Ground Floor Overlay.
Santa Rosa Municipal Code Section 20-42.080, Live/Work and Work/live Units The NMU designation permits live/work spaces and maker -oriented uses, subject to performance standards. The purpose of the Live/work and work/live units ordinance is to:
" j...] provide standards for the development of new live/work and work/live units, and for the reuse of existing commercial and industrial structures to accommodate these units. Live/work and work/live units are intended to be occupied by business operators who live in the same structure where the commercial activity or industry occurs. A live/work unit is intended to function predominantly as living space with incidental accommodations 6IPage
-16
for work -related activities that are beyond the scope of a home occupation. A work/live unit is intended to function predominantly as work space with incidental residential accommodations that meet basic habitability requirements."'
The nonresidential component of a live/work or work/live project may include uses allowed within the applicable zoning district, subject to certain limitations. Vehicle maintenance and adult businesses are prohibited. Additionally, the Zoning Administrator may deem certain activities incompatible with residential uses or determine that they jeopardize the health or safety of residents.
To maintain the integrity of mixed -use
developments, the municipal code establishes
strict dimensional
regulations for both unit types, operating under
a baseline requirement of a 1,000 square foot
minimum net total floor area. The regulatory
distinction between the two formats depends
entirely on which use serves as the primary
function of the space:
• Live/Work Units (Residential -Primary): In a
live/work configuration, the residential
component is the dominant use. The code
restricts the secondary workspace (such as
an artist studio or office) to a maximum of
30 percent of the total floor area or 400
square feet, whichever is greater.
• Work/Live Units (Commercial -Primary): In
a work/live configuration, the utility is
flipped, making the commercial or
industrial workspace the dominant use. The
residential living quarters are capped at a
maximum of 30 percent of the total floor
area or 400 square feet, whichever is
greater.
The code also includes operating requirements that pertain to occupancy, nonresident employees, and client/customer visits. No portion of a live/work or work/live unit may be separately rented or sold as a commercial space for any person not living in the unit or as a residential space for any person not working in the same unit. Employment of three or more persons who do not reside in the unit may be permitted subject to Conditional Use Permit approval.

3. Hapeville Arts District, Hapeville, Georgia
The Hapeville Arts District Overlay is located within the City of Hapeville, Georgia, a small municipality immediately south of Atlanta. Generally, the Hapeville Arts District Overlay encompasses downtown Hapeville running along North Central and South Central Avenues (approximately 1 -mile stretch from Interstate 85 to Elm Street), Dogwood Drive (approximately 0.6 -mile stretch from South Central Avenue to Oak Drive), the two-lane segment of Virginia Avenue (approximately 0.25 -mile stretch from South Central Avenue to Doug Davis Drive) and North and South Fulton Avenues (approximately 0.21 -mile stretch from College Street to King Arnold Street). The Arts District Overlay was formally established through Ordinance No. 2015-13, adopted by the City Council on July 7, 2015.
The District contains a mix of artist studios, galleries, creative enterprises, public art installations, and adaptive reuse projects. Unlike many arts districts that emerged organically, Hapeville's Arts District Overlay was established through a formal zoning framework intended to attract arts -related businesses and support live - work opportunities while maintaining an active commercial environment.
Hapeville Municipal Code, Article 28 -A-D Zone (Arts District Overlay) The purpose of the arts district overlay is to:
"[...] facilitate creation of an arts destination, sustain established arts and cultural uses and promote new arts and cultural uses. The arts district overlay seeks integration of the arts into the fabric of the community and is conceived as the location of art galleries and art studios forming the core of an arts district. A complementary mix of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues will support these uses. These elements are expected to generate interest in downtown Hapeville and attract arts and cultural events.i6 6 City of Hapeville, Hapeville Municipal Code, 2026. Available at:

The ordinance defines a live -work unit as a space containing both residential and non-residential components, where the business or creative activity serves as the primary use and the residential component is secondary.
Each unit must contain sleeping quarters, cooking facilities, and complete sanitary facilities, while the residential and work areas must be shown separately on floor plans and maintain separate entrances. To maintain the employment and production focus of the district, the ordinance establishes several operational standards:
• A minimum unit size of 500 square feet is required;
• At least 50 percent of the unit must be dedicated to non-residential workspace; • A minimum of 250 square feet must be dedicated to residential living area; • The workspace may employ no more than two employees per shift, including the resident operator; • The residential and commercial portions may not be separately rented or sold; and • One off-street parking space is required per live -work unit, in addition to any parking required for the non-residential component.
The overlay permits multifamily residential development and live -work housing while encouraging active commercial uses at street level. Ground -floor spaces facing public streets, sidewalks, and alleys are intended to remain occupied by commercial, arts -related, or other non-residential uses that contribute to a vibrant pedestrian environment. Urban design standards require parking to be located behind buildings or screened from view, while building entrances must face public streets. To support the district's creative identity, certain outdoor sculptures and artistic installations are exempt from permit requirements when they do not obstruct circulation or function as advertising.

STRATEGIC APPLICATIONS FOR BELLFLOWER
By extracting key lessons from Evansville, Santa Rosa, and Hapeville, the City can implement strategies that balance establishing a cultural destination with neighborhood preservation. The following recommendations establish a framework for the proposed Arts District, focusing on five core areas to support sustainable development and community enrichment.
1. Arts Overlay to Preserve Existing Uses and Allow for New Development Given Clark Avenue's mix of Commercial -General, R-1, and R-2 parcels, implementing an arts overlay zone (like Evansville's AOZ) creates a unifying regulatory layer across the proposed Arts District. It ensures existing businesses and homeowners can be preserved with their base zoning, while expanding opportunities for property owners who wish to convert spaces into alternative uses consistent with the City's Arts District vision.
2. Development Standards
Clear development standards drawn from other agencies, including Santa Rosa and Hapeville, could be explored to outline minimum and maximum square footage allowances based on the primary use of the structure (e.g., capping the residential footprint in commercial -primary units, and capping the workspace footprint in residential -primary units).
3. Permitted Uses
Beyond traditional artist workspaces, Bellflower can tailor the permitted use list to welcome community gathering spaces such as coffee shops, flower shops, and "paint and sip" venues. These businesses bridge the gap between creative production and neighborhood retail, driving consistent foot traffic while remaining compatible with nearby residential parcels.
4. Quality of Life
Protecting the residential quality of life is an important consideration when introducing a maker economy into a corridor with existing R-1 and R-2 properties. Bellflower may want to explore strategies such as ensuring medium -to -heavy maker activities are conducted entirely within enclosed structures, setting parameters for the number of non-resident employees allowed per shift, and establishing noise limits and quiet hours.
5. Public Realm
To create an inviting public realm, the overlay should establish clear design standards for how buildings engage with the street. Bellflower can adopt physical form requirements similar to Santa Rosa and Hapeville, such as mandating transparent glass or active uses on ground floor facades, and explicitly prohibiting surface parking lots or loading zones from being located between the building and the street. 10I Page

ADDITIONAL IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAMS
Beyond updating zoning regulations, establishing a successful arts district requires active community engagement, strategic programming, and dedicated financial tools. The following implementation programs detail how Bellflower can foster a vibrant cultural identity and incentivize long-term investment along the Clark Avenue corridor.
1. Community Partnerships and Volunteer Design Committees Drawing directly from the case studies, such as Evansville's establishment of a Design Review Committee and/or an arts district association, Bellflower could form volunteer -led steering committees to help design the overlay and set aesthetic guidelines. Empowering local artists, residents, and business owners to actively shape the district ensures the resulting regulations reflect the community's identity.
2. Financial Incentives
Bellflower can explore financing strategies modeled after Evansville's revitalization. The City could establish a Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD), which captures future property tax growth to fund economic development and maintenance without increasing property taxes.' To implement this, the City would form a Public Financing Authority (PFA), comprised of three elected officials and two local community members, to oversee the Arts District's Infrastructure Financing Plan (IFP). Utilizing tools like Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, the City can offer targeted grants to Low -to -Moderate Income (LMI) residents, fund property rehabilitation, and provide housing gap financing to attract and retain owner -occupant artists and business owners.
3. Streamlined Public Art Permitting
To encourage organic neighborhood branding, Bellflower can follow Hapeville's model by exempting specific public murals and outdoor sculptures from standard, lengthy permitting processes, provided they do not obstruct pedestrian circulation or function as commercial advertising.
4. First Friday Art Walks and Programming
Organizing and promoting monthly "First Friday" art walks along the Clark Avenue corridor is an effective way to organically build a district identity and generate consistent foot traffic. These recurring events activate the streetscape by allowing local artists, makers, and musicians to set up temporary pop-up booths alongside established businesses. This strategy serves as a low-cost marketing tool, introducing the broader Bellflower community to the arts district.
5. Creative Occupancy Verification
The City can protect the maker -focused identity of the corridor and ensure spaces are utilized by active makers by implementing administrative checks. This includes tying live/work occupancy to an active Bellflower Business License or requiring a basic portfolio review for prospective tenants.

CROWING TOG£ ¢
stafteport 14-A
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
ATTENTION: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
FROM: Elizabeth C. Oba, Director of Planning and Building Services Alexander Salgado, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Consideration and possible action to receive, file and provide direction on the conceptual Arts District Overlay Zone (ADOZ).
DATE: August 10, 2026
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Council continues to look for options to bring life to the vacant and underused properties along Clark Avenue between Alondra Boulevard and Flower Street (the "corridor"). Per the Council's previous direction, Planning staff worked with De Novo Planning Group ("De Novo") to develop a conceptual Arts District Overlay Zone ("ADOZ") that would give this stretch of Clark Avenue a new set of zoning rules built around arts, culture, and small-scale local business. Based upon the City Council's actions tonight, a draft ordinance would be prepared to implement the ADOZ. Among other things, such regulations would identify which businesses are allowed, how new and rehabilitated buildings should look from the sidewalk, and how residents could live and work in the same space. This approach would advance the City's larger goals of drawing private investment back to the corridor, adding housing choices, and making arts and culture a visible part of everyday life in Bellflower.
The Overlay would be entirely voluntary; a property owner may choose to develop under the new arts -district rules, but no owner has to. Owners who do not opt in would keep their current zoning unchanged. This report explains the trade-off the overlay offers property owners which includes more flexibility and faster, cheaper approvals in exchange for design and use standards that build a coherent arts district. It also highlights the policy choices the Council should weigh before the overlay moves forward.
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL
1) Receive, file, and provide direction regarding the conceptual ADOZ; or 2) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
