Agenda Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Kevin Kearney, City Manager
DATE: April 16, 2024
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 391 - Adoption
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BRADBURY AMENDING THE BRADBURY MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING FENCE, WALL AND HEDGE HEIGHTS ON
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES AND COURT LIGHTING
Attachment: 1) Ordinance No. 391
SUMMARY
At the March 19, 2024, regular meeting, the City Council reviewed and introduced Ordinance No. 391 to amend Chapter 100 of the Development Code regulations regarding fence and wall heights on properties abutting the City boundary at areas that are accessible to the public. These areas are along the westerly side of the Bradbury Estates that abut the Sawpit Wash and Norumbega Drive in the City of Monrovia, and the properties on the south side of Gardi Street that abuts the recreation trail along Royal Oaks Drive. The Ordinance also updates the type of lighting specified for sports courts.
The draft Ordinance was amended to include hedge heights to be consistent with the other subsections of Chapter 100. It is recommended that the City Council adopt, waive the reading in full, and authorize the reading by title only of Ordinance No. 391.
BACKGROUND
The Planning Commission was asked by the City Council to look into increasing the maximum height allowed for perimeter fences and walls to eight (8) feet where a property line coincides with the City boundary at areas accessible by the public. The Commission initiated a discussion at the December 6, 2023, special meeting. At the January 24, 2024, regular meeting, staff provided a map and photos of areas along the City boundary that are accessible by the public. The Commission determined that fences and walls at these Ordinance No. 391 - Adoption
properties should be allowed to be up to eight (8) feet tall to discourage unauthorized access. The Commission also agreed that the type of court lighting should be updated.
The Commission reviewed a draft ordinance at the February 28, 2024, regular meeting and adopted Resolution No. PC 24-320 to recommend to the City Council approval and adoption of the ordinance, and that the ordinance be found to be exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City Council, at the March 19, 2024, regular meeting, reviewed and introduced Ordinance No. 391 with an amendment to include hedges.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
It was recommended that Ordinance No. 391 is exempt under the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to the common sense exemption set forth in Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because the ordinance will not cause any significant effect on the environment, and pursuant to Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines because the amendments are minor alterations in land use limitations.
The ordinance adopts policies affecting minor land use features and will not change the density, intensity, or allowed uses, or otherwise have other effects on the environment.
The ordinance is not for any specific project and therefore will not impact any environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern, will not create cumulative impacts, or impacts to scenic highways, hazardous waste sites, or historical resources.
FINDINGS
The City Council found that the ordinance affects minor land use features without changing any density, intensity, or allowed uses, and is consistent with the City's General Plan, and that the ordinance will not have effects on the environment. The Council found the ordinance to be exempt in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
RECOMMENDATION AND ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt, waive the reading in full, and authorize the reading by title only of Ordinance No. 391:

Since then, City staff has been updating all project documents to comply with the Settlement Agreement. This also includes the preparation of the CEQA Addendum Memorandum caused by the reduced project scope.
One of the action items of the Settlement Agreement is to conduct two community meetings with interested parties and neighbors of the project on the aesthetics (architectural treatment) of the retaining wall including landscaping treatment. It is recommended that the City Council; 1) solicit feedback from the community on the aesthetic features of the retaining wall and the landscaping treatment, and 2) determine how to fulfil the requirements of the 2nd community meeting
PROJECT TIMELINE
It is anticipated that the final plans, contract specifications, and CEQA Addendum Memorandum will be completed by May 1s', pending final direction for the aesthetics of the proposed retaining wall and landscaping.
The projected timeline is below and works to coincide with scheduled City Council meetings.
The City Council may elect to hold Special City Council meetings for an expedited delivery of the project:

The revised limits of the proposed retaining wall is depicted on Exhibit 1 of the final Settlement Agreement (Attachment 1).
The final Settlement Agreement also stipulated the final aesthetics for the proposed retaining wall. The City is limited to utilizing architectural treatments as shown in Figures 1, 2, or 3 of Exhibit 3 pursuant to the final Settlement Agreement (Attachment 2). Figure 1 is a rock-face soil nail wall, figure 2 is a boulder-face soil nail wall, and Figure 3 is an architectural treatment that matches the aesthetics of the existing block wall at the Estates entrance. recommendation would be the architectural treatment to match the existing block wall at the Estates entrance as shown in Figure 3 as the proposed retaining wall would be to directly connect to the existing entrance walls and would then be a seamless transition to the new retaining wall. In addition, staff is recommending that the landscape treatment also match the current landscape treatment at the Estates entrance to provide the same seamless transition.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Conduct a Community Discussion to solicit feedback on the aesthetic features of the retaining wall and the landscaping treatment.
2. Determine how to fulfill the requirements of the 2nd community meeting.
3. Review and approve the proposed project timeline.
