SUBJECT: Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Title 6, Chapter 1 of the Burbank Municipal Code to Clarify the City’s Parking Restrictions Near Intersections

Adopt AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING TITLE 6 (MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC), CHAPTER 1 (VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC)

The above-entitled Ordinance was introduced at a City Council Joint Meeting on August 12, 2025. Council Members Anthony, Mullins, and Rizzotti, and Vice Mayor Takahashi were present.

AYES: Anthony, Mullins, Rizzotti, and Takahashi.

NOES: None.

This Ordinance is now presented for adoption.

COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of this Ordinance has no potential for resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and as such, falls outside the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and i s therefore not subject to CEQA pursuant to §§ 15378 and 15060(c)(2)-(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines) because the Ordinance maintains existing parking restrictions in place as they currently exist.

Furthermore, even if this action constitutes a “project” subject to CEQA review, it is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15301, as any decision to restrict on- street parking near intersections constitutes operation and minor alteration of existing street facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use and does not create additional automobile lanes . No unusual circumstances preclude the use of this exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT
Adopting the proposed Ordinance and staff’s recommended implementation approach will not create a new fiscal impact to the City. The Ordinance does not require changes to the City’s infrastructure, and enforcement of daylighting would be carried out using existing staffing in the same manner as other parking violations.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BURBANK AMENDING TITLE 6 (MOTOR VEHICLES AND
TRAFFIC), CHAPTER 1 (VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC) OF THE

BURBANK MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO PARKING

NEAR INTERSECTIONS

City Attorney’s Synopsis

This Ordinance amends Title 6, Chapter 1 of the Burbank Municipal Code by clarifying the City’s parking restrictions near intersections, crosswalks, traffic control devices and stop signs in compliance with recent updates to California Vehicle Code Section 22500.

THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK FINDS AS FOLLOWS:

A. Assembly Bill (“AB”) 413 amended California Vehicle Code Section 22500 by prohibiting parking statewide within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk, or within 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present, regardless of whether the no- parking area is marked with signage or paint .

Beginning on January 1, 2025, parking restrictions near crosswalks under AB 413 may be enforced by issuing citations. Prior to this time, enforcement was limited to issuing a warning.

B. AB 413 allows local authorities to establish different parking restrictions near crosswalks by ordinance if the different distance is justified by established safety standards and if the no parking area is marked using paint or a sign.

C. V isibility and sight distance are important safety factors at intersections.

The National Association of City Transportation Officials (“NACTO”) explains that in urban areas, corners of intersections frequently act as gathering places for people, businesses, bus stops, bicycle parking, and other elements, and therefore intersection design should facilitate eye contact between all of these users rather than focusing solely on clear sightlines for moving traffic only. To improve safety through adequate sightlines, NACTO recommends restricting parking within 20 to 25 feet of intersections.1

D. However, NACTO acknowledges that a blanket statewide parking restriction near all intersections is not necessarily appropriate in every local jurisdiction and that cities should consider overall context to determine if a different local parking restriction may be more appropriate.2

1 https://nacto.org/publication/urban-street-design-guide/intersection-design-elements/visibility-sight- distance/
2 See AB 413 – 9/11/23 - Senate Floor Analyses, Comments available at:
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB413 31 ATTACHMENT 1 – 2
E. Data from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (“AASHTO”) shows that the sight distance required for drivers to react to and brake for unexpected events increases as speed increases. Further, driver’s reaction times increase by 35 percent when an event is unexpected. AASHTO advises that roadway designs should take driver reaction times into account.3

F. Burbank Municipal Code (“BMC”) Section 6- 1-1029 currently prohibits parking within 15 feet of an intersection or curb return, and within 25 feet of a traffic signal, stop sign, or electric flashing beacon, when signs or paint mark the no-parking areas. In practice, the City typically applies these no-parking restrictions at all corners of intersections along arterial roadways and other streets that generally experience higher rates of speed to account for increased driver reaction time. These local parkin g restrictions often exceed the parking restrictions established by AB 413 under California Vehicle Code Section 22500(n) by applying to all corners of an intersection (as opposed to only the vehicle approach side of an intersection), and by creating a larger no-parking zone by measuring from the curb return as opposed to the crosswalk.

G. The City Council desires to maintain the existing parking restrictions in BMC Section 6-1-1029, by finding that the distances therein are justified by established safety standards, including but not limited to the NACTO recommendation that parking be restricted within 20 to 25 feet of intersections, and the AASHTO recommendation that driver reaction times should be taken into account when designing safe intersections.

This Ordinance clarifies definitions and confirms the City’s local parking restrictions near intersections when red-painted or signed to reflect the restriction. When a curb near an intersection or crosswalk does not include any painted or signed parking restrictions, the default parking restriction under AB 413 will apply.

H. The City Council exercises its independent judgment and finds that the adoption of this Ordinance has no potential for resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and as such, falls outside the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act ( “CEQA”) and is therefore not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15378 and 15060(c)(2)-(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations ( “CEQA Guidelines ”) because the Ordinance maintains existing parking restrictions in place as they currently exist. Furthermore, even if this action constitutes a “project” subject to CEQA review, it is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, as any decision to restrict on-street parking near intersections constitutes operation and minor alteration of existing street facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use and does not create additional automobile lanes. No unusual circumstances preclude the use of this exemption.

THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Incorporation of Findings. The City Council of the City of Burbank hereby finds that the above findings are true and correct and are hereby incorporated by reference.

Section 2. Amendment to Burbank Municipal Code (“BMC”) Section 6-1- 102. BMC Section 6-1-102 (Other Definitions) is amended by adding the following definition for “curb return” to read as follows (additions are marked in underline and deletions are marked in strikethrough):

“CURB RETURN: The curved portion of a street curb joining the normal curb line of a street with that of an intersecting street, alley, or driveway.”

Section 3. Amendment to BMC Section 6-1- 1029. BMC Section 6 -1-1029 (Stopping or Parking Prohibited at Certain Places) is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows (additions are marked in underline and deletions are marked in strikethrough):

“6-1- 1029: STOPPING OR PARKING PROHIBITED AT CERTAIN PLACES6:

Notwithstanding any different parking restrictions that may be established under California Vehicle Code Section 22500 , nNo person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle in any of the following places when they are so signed or marked as directed by the Public Works Director:

A. NEAR SAFETY ZONE.

At any place within twenty (20) feet of a point on the curb immediately opposite the mid-block end of a safety zone.

B. NEAR INTERSECTION.

At any place within fifteen (15) feet of the starting point of the curb return of an intersection or curb return, except that a bus or taxicab may stop at a designated bus or taxicab stop.

C. NEAR TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE OR STOP SIGN.

At any place wWithin twenty-five (25) feet of the approach to any traffic signal, stop sign, or official electric flashing device as measured from the corresponding traffic signal, stop sign, or official electric flashing device.

Section 5. Environmental Review. Adoption of t his Ordinance has no potential for resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and as such, falls outside the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore not subject to CEQA pursuant to Sections 15378 and 15060(c)(2) -(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines) because the Ordinance maintains existing parking restrictions in place as they currently exist. Furthermore, even if this action constitutes a “project” subject to CEQA review, it is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, as any decision to restrict on-street parking near intersections constitutes operation and minor alteration of existing street facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use and does not create additional automobile lanes.

SUBJECT: Introduction of an Ordinance Amending and Restating Title 2, Chapter 1, Article 3, Divisions 309 and 310 of the Burbank Municipal Code to Establish the Authority of the Chief of Police and the Fire Chief to Execute Operational Mutual Aid and Cooperative Agreements with Other Governmental Agencies

RECOMMENDATION
Introduce AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING AND RESTATING TITLE 2 (ADMINISTRATION) CHAPTER 1, ARTICLE 3, DIVISIONS 309 AND 310 OF THE BURBANK MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING THE

AUTHORITY OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE AND THE FIRE CHIEF TO EXECUTE

OPERATIONAL MUTUAL AID AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES (Attachment 1).

BACKGROUND
The Burbank Police Department is tasked with the protection of life and property and providing professional police services within the City of Burbank. In furtherance of these objectives, the Police Department has established long-standing partnerships with other law enforcement agencies in the region. These partnerships are often formalized in Mutual Aid and Task Force agreements, allowing participating agencies to request and utilize resources from other participants within their own jurisdictions. These agreements 36 2

may also define terms and expectations for compensating outside agencies for their participation and use of resources.

The Burbank Fire Department’s mission is to protect lives, property, and the environment, while enhancing the quality of life and safety through values -driven service . T he Fire Department uses various operational mutual aid and cooperative agreements with other governmental agencies to support its mission. These agreements may specify the method to request aid, incident command structure, number of resources, communications system, geographical locations, and compensation rates.

These mutually -supporting agreements have proven vital for effective responses to critical incidents, natural disasters, and significant criminal investigations. The current Burbank Municipal Code does not explicitly authorize the Chief of Police or the Fire Chief to execute mutual aid and cooperative agreements independently, without approval of the City Council. This has the potential to delay response times, aid, and resources both within the City and to outside jurisdictions, as the Police Department and Fire Department, along with their partner agencies work to fulfill their public safety responsibilities.

DISCUSSION
The Police Department is staffed and equipped with appropriate resources to provide high-quality police services within the City of Burbank. However, the law enforcement profession has long recognized that effective responses to unusual occurrences – such as critical incidents, natural disasters, and significant criminal investigations – may require the temporary assignment of additional resources from agencies outside of the immediate jurisdiction.

To achieve these responses in an efficient and effective manner, the Police Department has developed working relationships with other law enforcement agencies throughout the region. These relationships offer mutual support, when needed, between the Police Department, neighboring jurisdictions, and the State and Federal government.

The Police Department seeks to participate in Mutual Aid and Task Force agreements to affect these responses. These agreements include emergency response (as part of the State of California’s Mutual Aid Network – Region 1, Area C) , as well as regional investigative and enforcement operations in areas such as organized retail theft, street racing, narcotics distribution, automobile theft, organized crime, and fugitive apprehension. Additional operating agreements clarify responses and jurisdictional responsibilities for areas of potential operational overlap, such as the Burbank Superior Court, Metrolink lines and stations, and the Hollywood Burbank Airport.

The Fire Department maintain s successful relationships with various governmental agencies to provide high quality emergency services and capitalize on resource sharing. 37 3

Services include incident types such as hazardous materials, medical, swift water rescue, structure fire, and brush fire. Operational mutual aid and cooperative agreements are essential for seamless incident management. The resources required for a brush fire is one notable example validating the benefits of these agreements . During the 18 -acre Bethany Fire in June 2025 , the Fire Department r eceived aid from the United States Forest Service as well as the Glendale, Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, and Pasadena Fire Departments. Assistance from other agencies is vital when t he scale of an incident may significantly impact the Fire Department’s operational capacity.

Additionally, t he Verdugo Fire Communications Center (VFCC) provides dispatch services for emergency fire and medical incidents. The Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena Fire Departments are VFCC “owner” agencies with a related agreement. Also, VFCC contracts for dispatching services with 11 other agencies. All of the VFCC agreements enable better coordination and response to large emergencies in Area C, which includes the City of Burbank.

While operating under one of these cooperative agreements, participating agencies maintain operational oversight of their personnel and resources. Personnel participating in these agreements are obliged to act in accordance with the policies and laws governing their respective agencies and regularly report back on their activities to their respective chains of command.

Cooperative agreements also serve to define expectations for reimbursement of expenses associated to responses governed by their parameters. This allows participating agencies to plan for the allocation of resources, ensure proper documentation of their deployment, and effectively submit for reimbursement of expenses incurred when appropriate.

Mutual aid and other cooperative agreements are typically in place for a defined period of time. They are subject to periodic review, evaluation, and consideration for reapproval.

Under this proposed Ordinance, the Chief of Police and the Fire Chief would be authorized to execute mutual aid and cooperative agreements independently, without further approval from the City Council. However, the City Attorney’s Office would continue to review and approve any proposed agreements for legal compliance.

Authorizing the Chief of Police and the Fire Chief to execute these agreements is important to ensure each department can respond to operational demands in a timely manner. Requiring approval in a Council meeting may lead to unnecessary delays, which may ultimately result in the response to another agency being rendered ineffective or the City of Burbank’s public safety needs not being met.

38 4

The Police Department and Fire Department, and their respective Chiefs, would remain directly accountable for the execution of operations related to these agreements and would provide any reports or presentations on these agreements at the request of City Council, a Board, or Commission.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Adoption of an Ordinance amending and restating Burbank Municipal Code 2-1-309 and 2-1-310 has no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.

FISCAL IMPACT
The adoption of the amended and restated Ordinance will have minimal fiscal impact.

The Ordinance would require the Department s have allocated funding within the approved fiscal year budget, to cover all costs associated with the services provided.

CONCLUSION
The proposed Ordinance will improve the efficiency of the agreement process. In response to recent trends in law enforcement and natural disasters , there is a need to build and foster relationships with neighboring agencies to provide mutual aid and support in times of crises. This will further the goals of the Police Department and Fire Department in ensuring the protection of life and property for the City of Burbank.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BURBANK A MENDING AND RESTATING TITLE 2
(ADMINISTRATION) CHAPTER 1, ARTICLE 3, DIVISIONS
309 AND 310 OF THE BURBANK MUNICIPAL CODE

ESTABLISHING THE AUTHORITY OF THE CHIEF OF

POLICE AND THE FIRE CHIEF TO EXECUTE

OPERATIONAL MUTUAL AID AND COOPERATIVE

AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTAL

AGENCIES

City Attorney’s Synopsis

This ordinance amends § 2-1-309 and § 2-1-310 of the Burbank Municipal Code by establishing the authority of the Chief of Police and the Fire Chief to execute operational mutual aid and cooperative agreements with other governmental agencies subject to available fiscal year funding, staffing and resources, and compliance with local, State, and Federal laws.

THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK FINDS:

A. The Burbank Police Department is committed to the protection of life and property within the City of Burbank. To aid in accomplishing this goal, the Burbank Police Department must continue to develop working relationships with outside law enforcement agencies for information gathering, mutual aid, and cooperation. The Burbank Fire Department’s mission is to protect lives, property, and the environment, while enhancing the quality of life and safety through values -driven service . T he Burbank Fire Department has historically benefitted from various operational mutual aid and cooperative agreements with other governmental agencies to support its mission.

B. During critical incidents, including tactical operations, emergencies, and disasters, it is imperative that local law enforcement and fire agencies can rely on the support, when needed, of neighboring jurisdiction s and the State and Federal government.

C. Decisions to assist or operate in conjunction with outside agencies for the purpose of public safety require the considerations of available resources, funding, and in some cases, the need for urgency.

D. The Burbank Municipal Code currently does not provide the authority to the Chief of Police or the Fire Chief to make these operational decisions independently without City Council approval. This has the potential for delaying response times, aid, and resources to outside agencies to combat crime and protect lives.

E. By amending the Burbank Municipal Code to authorize the Chief of Police 40 ATTACHMENT 1-2
and the Fire Chief to execute operational mutual aid and cooperative agreements, it would enable the Burbank Police Department and Fire Department the ability to provide the protection of life and property within the City, through reciprocal aid agreements, and also aid in requests from outside agencies to protect life and property.

THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

1. Burbank Municipal Code Title 2, Chapter 1, Article 3, Divisions 309 and 310, are amended and restated to read as follows:

“2-1-309: CHIEF OF POLICE:

2. The agreement shall be subject to available staffing and resources;

3. Performance pursuant to the agreement would not violate any local, State, or Federal laws;

4. The Chief of Police determines that performance pursuant to the agreement would not be detrimental, in any way, to the public safety services provided to the citizens of the City of Burbank; and

5. Any mutual aid and/or cooperative agreements shall be approved as to form by the City Attorney’s Office

If any provision of this Ordinance or its application is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions, sections, or applications of the Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end each phrase, section, sentence, or word is declared to be severable.”

“2-1-310: FIRE CHIEF:

In addition to any other duties as outlined in the Burbank City Charter section 340 or this code, the Fire Chief, or their authorized representative, shall have the authority to execute operational mutual aid and/or cooperative agreements with any outside governmental agency under the following conditions:

2. This Ordinance shall become effective at 12:01 a.m. on the thirty-first (31st) day after the date of adoption.

SUBJECT: Adoption of Resolutions Continuing Appropriations from Fiscal Year 2024- 25 to Fiscal Year 2025-26

RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 202 5-2026 BUDGET FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS FROM FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 (Attachment 1).

2. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 202 5-2026 BUDGET FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 2024- 2025 (Attachment 2).

3. Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE PARKING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 202 5-2026 BUDGET FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 2024- 2025 (Attachment 3).

BACKGROUND
At the end of each Fiscal Year (FY), departments review their budget line items to identify appropriations that have not been expended or encumbered and need to be continued into the next fiscal year. There are various reasons for departments to request continuing

FINANCIAL

SERVICES

45 2

appropriations, also known as carryovers. The most common reasons are for ongoing or multi-year projects, delayed program implementation, or program operations that cross fiscal years such as housing assistance, summer recreation programs, and contractual services. Grants, federal and state program funding, donations, and Council-directed set- asides or holding accounts are restricted for a specific purpose and must be continued into the next fiscal year until fully expended.

DISCUSSION
The Summary of Continuing Appropriations by Fund (Attachment 4) provides the total amount of requested carryovers for each fund. Continuing Appropriations by Account Number (Attachment 5) provides details for each request by fund type, including account number and name, amount requested, and a justification. It is important to note that the stated amounts are subject to change as financial activities in these accounts may continue until the fiscal year is officially closed. These continuing appropriations do not impact the FY 2025-26 adopted budget or financial forecast because they are not new appropriations.

Citywide carryover requests total approximately $57.3 million. Similar to last year, all multi-year infrastructure projects within the City’s approved Capital Improvement Program (CIP) were carried over as part of the Budget adoption process that took place on June 3, 2025.

General Fund requested carryovers are $17.1 million, which equates to 6.2% of the total FY 202 4-25 Adopted General Fund budget. Of the total $17.1 million General Fund carryover requests, $11 million is com prised of restricted funding that includes grants, donations, and various contractual obligations. The most significant General Fund carryover amounts relate to restricted items, such as the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA), homeless plan implementation, National Opioid Settlement funds , vegetation management and brush clearance, library donations, and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) contract provisions.

GENERAL FUND YEAR-END FINANCIAL UPDATE
FY 2025-26 is well underway, and while FY 202 4-25 has not been officially closed, staff estimates year-end General Fund budget savings of approximately $9.7 million, assuming the approval of the proposed carryover appropriations included in this report. This is roughly $4.5 million more than what was projected in the General Fund Forecast at the time of budget adoption, which can be mostly attributed to staffing vacancies across several City departments. These figures are subject to change until the fiscal year has officially been closed and the City’s annual external audit process is completed.

FY 2024-25 revenues are still being collected at this time, with final numbers anticipated to be available in September. Based on staff’s early analysis of June 2025 receipts, it is 46 3

anticipated that the General Fund is on target to meet the revised revenue projections presented to the City Council (Council) during the FY 2024-25 Mid-Year Financial Report.

With the Council’s prior actions, such as the implementation of cost -saving initiatives , additional pension liability payments, and commitment to funding reserves, Burbank’s General Fund remains positive in the current fiscal year . However, future years projections show a deficit as expenditures outpace revenues in the five- year financial forecast. Staff will continue to monitor the state of the economy and return to Council with the FY 2025-26 First Quarter update in late fall.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.

FISCAL IMPACT
Should the Council adopt the resolutions and approve the continuing appropriations as proposed, the FY 2025-26 Budget will be amended for citywide continuing appropriations of approximately $57.3 million, which includes $17.1 million for the General Fund, $1.5 million for the Housing Authority, and $ 258,651 for the Parking Authority. As previously mentioned, the totals for continuing appropriations are preliminary and the amounts may be adjusted slightly as financial activities continue until the fiscal year is officially closed.

These continuing appropriations do not impact the recurring balance of the FY 202 5-26 adopted budget or the financial forecast as they are not new appropriations. At year-end, any unencumbered appropriations, not requested or approved as a continuing appropriation, return to the available balance of the applicable fund, and can be appropriated for other purposes by the Council.

CONCLUSION
By approving the requested continuing appropriations, Council will provide staff with the funding required to complete and/or continue with various Council -supported projects, grants, programs, and services. Staff recommends that Council adopt the proposed resolutions approving the requested continuing appropriations from FY 202 4-25 to FY 2025-26 for the City, the Housing Authority, and the Parking Authority.

SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Authorizing Acceptance of the California Office of Traffic Safety 202 6 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant for $190,000 and Amending the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget by Appropriating Funds

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AUTHORIZING

THE CITY MANAGER OR DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF TRAFFIC SAFETY 202 6 SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM GRANT AGREEMENT AND ANY FUTURE AMENDMENTS, ACCEPTING $ 190,000 IN GRANT FUNDS, AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 202 5-26 ADOPTED BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING FUNDS.

BACKGROUND
The Burbank Police Department (Department) has been awarded $190,000 in competitive grant funding through the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP). The program aims to reduce the number of deaths and injuries from vehicular accidents related to alcohol, speeding, red light violations, and other primary collision factors. The grant will fund enforcement operations that target impaired driving, distracted driving, excessive speed, and seat belt compliance. By increasing police presence, these operations will help educate the public and improve adherence to traffic safety laws. In addition to enforcement, the STEP grant supports educational efforts, including t raffic safety presentations and community outreach focused on motorcycle safety, bicycle safety, and pedestrian awareness . The Department will also produce digital content to participate in OTS campaigns like “Click It POLICE

or Ticket,” “Sober or Hand ’Em Over,” and “Go Safely, California.” Through social media, the Department will engage with online communities to educate a broader audience and ultimately deter unsafe driving behaviors.

DISCUSSION
The Department is committed to reducing injuries at high- collision intersections by enhancing enforcement efforts against driving under the influence (DUI) through checkpoints and saturation patrols. Additional enforcement initiatives will focus on reducing distracted driving, improving seat belt compliance, and reducing bicycle and pedestrian collisions.

With a total grant allocation of $ 190,000, the Department’s initiatives are divided as follows:
• $ 177,750 will be allocated towards traffic safety education activities and increased enforcement through special details aimed at curbing distracted driving, excessive speed, and other primary collision factors.
• $ 9,600 will be utilized for the purchase of electronic citation printers for traffic officers, and essential supplies for conducting DUI checkpoint operations. These supplies may include traffic cones, signage, high- visibility safety vests, lighting, reflective banners, and electronic flares.
• $ 2,650 will be allocated to provide officers with specialized training in traffic enforcement, safety, and education.

The grant performance period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Approval of the 202 6 STEP grant agreement has no potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.

FISCAL IMPACT
This is a reimbursement grant and will not require any matching funds from the City. Staff is requesting Council authority to accept $ 190,000 in 2026 STEP grant program funds and amend the F iscal Year (FY) 2025-26 Adopted Budget to appropriate the funds as follows:

• $ 190,000 from revenue account 121.PD000.48010.1022.25236.0000 (General City Grand Fund, Police Department General, Other Intergovernmental Revenues, OTS Safety Grant, 2026 STEP Grant) to the following expenditure accounts:

• $ 177,750 to expenditure account 001.PD01A.60007.0000.25236 (General Fund, Patrol, Overtime – Safety, 2026 STEP Grant)
• $ 9,600 to expenditure account 001.PD01A.62300.0000.25236 (General Fund, Patrol, Special Departmental Supplies, 2026 STEP Grant) • $ 2,650 to expenditure account 001.PD01A.62755.0000.25236 (General Fund, Patrol, Training, 2026 STEP Grant)

Funds will initially be drawn from account 121.ND000.30011.0000.00000 (General City Grant Fund, Non-Departmental, Assigned Fund Balance) until reimbursed.

CONCLUSION
Approval and acceptance of this grant agreement supports the Department’s goal of improving traffic safety within the City . The funding enables the Department to enhance enforcement efforts, expand public education, and invest in necessary equipment, all aimed at reducing traffic collisions and pedestrian injuries. These initiatives will contribute to creating a safer Burbank for all residents and visitors.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT

Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.

Best practice strategies will be conducted to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in crashes involving alcohol and other primary crash factors. The funded strategies may include impaired driving enforcement, enforcement operations focusing on primary crash factors, distracted driving, night-time seat belt enforcement, special enforcement operations encouraging motorcycle safety, enforcement and public awareness in areas with a high number of bicycle and pedestrian crashes, and educational programs. These strategies are designed to earn media attention thus enhancing the overall deterrent effect.

The City of Burbank is 17 square miles with a population of approximately 107,000 currently but has and will increase steadily. In response to the housing crisis, recent state legislation encouraged the city to permit the construction of multiple mixed-use (residential, commercial, and retail) complexes and additional dwelling units (ADUs) which will add a significant number of Burbank residents. This construction has completed in the Downtown area which has increased both vehicle and pedestrian traffic within the same geographic area.

In addition to the new businesses and retail spaces that will be included in the mixed-use projects, construction has begun on three new hotels, the Burbank Airport Terminal replacement, and the Warner Brothers Ranch Campus. Burbank remains the Media Capital of the World and home to major studios:

Warner Brothers, Walt Disney, Nickelodeon, and Netflix Animation. The entertainment industry comprises most of the current workforce population of 182,000. Burbank also has some of the highest performing retail chains, such as Costco, Target, Wal-Mart, Amazon, and the largest IKEA in the United States, in addition to the Empire Shopping Center, and Saint Joseph’s Medical Center to create a diverse workforce and attract many consumers and tourists to increase the daytime population in Burbank to 250,000. The current development projects will only increase the amount and flow of traffic through the City of Burbank which will also increase traffic-related issues and crashes.

The Burbank Airport continues to expand with not only the construction of a new $1.2 billion terminal, but the completion of multiple transit centers on either side of the airport property the service multiple light rail and bus routes, that increase pedestrian traffic in and around the airport property. Once construction of the new terminal is complete all access to both passenger and cargo operations will be accessed within the City of Burbank.

The City of Burbank continues to focus enforcement efforts on the ongoing issues with speeding violations, automobile versus pedestrian crash, hit-and-run crash, and alcohol-related crash.

Despite significant enforcement efforts, overall crash increased in 2024 by 9.8%, with injury crash increasing by 9.6%.

While many jurisdictions saw a significant rise in the number of vehicle vs. pedestrian crash over the past year, the Burbank Police Department made pedestrian safety a primary focus in its operations after seeing significant increases in the post COVID time frame. This effort was assisted by a significant funding increase by OTS in our previous STEP grants. Between 2023 and 2024, we saw only a 3.1% increase in total vehicle vs pedestrian crashes and a 5.5% increase in those crashes resulting in injury. The Burbank Police Department will continue to target enforcement efforts to minimize crash with pedestrians since the city has a high demographic of elderly residents, as well as a robust city development plan that encourages alternate forms of transportation, to include walking and bicycling.

Like most of California and the nation, speeding remains one of the top three primary crash factors in Burbank. Unsafe speed was listed as the primary crash factor in 95 crashes with a total of 118 persons injured and no deaths. Unsafe speed accounted for 19.8% of total crashes resulting in injuries and 16.5% of total injuries from crash in Burbank.

82 8/13/2025 10:30:49 AM Page 4 of 20

In response to the strong correlation between excessive speed and young male drivers, the Burbank Police Department strives to educate the public on overall traffic and pedestrian safety, which includes frequent educational presentations at adult recreational centers, schools, and youth groups at local places of worship.

In 2024, we saw a 16.6% increase in the number of alcohol-related crashes, however the number of alcohol related injury crash decreased by 14.3%. In 2022 Department authorized the formation of a two-man DUI Enforcement Team to help address this issue, however due to staffing the team was reduced to one officer in 2023. The DUI Enforcement Team works during the nighttime hours until 0300 hours with the sole purpose of proactively finding and arresting intoxicated drivers, responding to crash, and conducting traffic enforcement to reduce crash and injuries. The Burbank Police Department is committed to making Traffic Safety one of its highest priorities with additional allocation of funds and personnel outside of grant funding.

Like many agencies across California, the Burbank Police Department has faced challenges with recruitment and retention of sworn officers. This has resulted in a reduction in the number of officers assigned specifically to traffic enforcement, by nearly 40%.

However, as the City of Burbank continues to build new residential and commercial structures, Burbank’s residential, workforce, and daytime populations will continue to grow. In turn, the daily traffic congestion and the consequent traffic-related issues and concerns will increase. The Burbank Police Department plans to monitor our enforcement activity and statistics to identify common patterns, violations, and problematic areas. Based on analysis, the Burbank Police Department will adapt enforcement efforts to manage conditions for motorist and pedestrian safety through all the City changes.

Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).

Our STEP grant request will be focused in five main areas: PCF, speed, pedestrian safety, bicycles safety and DUI enforcement.

PCF: We will continue to focus on those violations that cause crash and the areas where they occur. In 2024, the top five PCF’s (and the % of total crashs in 2024) were: right-of-way violations (17.49%), improper turning (16.05%), DUI (12.57%), unsafe speed (11.38%) and failure to obey signs / signals (11.5%).

Speed: This includes areas where speed is a contributing factor in injury crash, as well as criminal behavior, such as illegal street racing or side-show activity that can result in significant injury or death.

Pedestrian Safety: Though great strides in reducing vehicle vs. pedestrian crash were made, recent completion of mix use construction projects has increased the areas where pedestrians and vehicles can come into conflict with each other. Continued enforcement and education efforts are needed to not loose ground on the gains already made.

Bicycle Safety: Burbank has seen a significant increase in the usage of bicycles as mode of transportation.

This has resulted in the largest increase in type of crash in the past year. With a 122% increase in the total number of bicycle vs vehicle crash, resulting in an increase of 89.5% in the number of injured victims, to include one fatality, bicycle safety must be a priority for the Burbank Police Department in the coming years.

DUI: With the DUI Team staffing being reduced by half, we saw a 16.6% increase in the number of DUI related crash, we were fortunate to have a reduction in the number of injuries resulting from those crash by

14.3%. We will look to have both those numbers trending downward in the coming years.

Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).

The City of Burbank has a diverse population across social-economic factors: Th Burbank Police Department provides service delivery equally throughout the City. Specific enforcement and education efforts will be targeted at different demographics based on offender likelihood, at risk communities and historical crash data. This can include young drivers for speed related violations, older community members involving pedestrian safety and partnering with other City departments where we see an increase in crashes. 83 8/13/2025 10:30:49 AM Page 5 of 20

99 STAFF REPORT

DATE: August 26, 2025

TO: Justin Hess, City Manager

FROM: Patrick Prescott, Community Development Director VIA: David Kriske, Assistant Community Development Director, Transportation BY: Marcos Fuentes, Senior Transportation Planner

SUBJECT: Approval to Initiate Planning and Design of Phase 2 of the Downtown Burbank San Fernando Boulevard Reconfiguration Project

RECOMMENDATION
Approve maintaining existing improvements implemented during Phase 1 of the Downtown Burbank San Fernando Boulevard Reconfiguration Project, and direct staff to initiate design of Phase 2 of the project.

BACKGROUND
In 2020, the City Council (Council) adopted the City’s Complete Our Streets Plan, which identified and prioritized pedestrian and multimodal safety p rojects across the City .

Among the short -term priority projects was the Downtown Burbank San Fernando Boulevard Reconfiguration Project (Project), located between Olive Avenue and Magnolia Boulevard (Attachment 1). The corridor experiences the highest levels of pedestrian and vehicular activity citywide and has historically been the site of frequent turning-movement- related collisions, with data showing that over 80% of pedestrian- vehicle collisions Downtown are the fault of the driver.

In January 2023, Council directed staff to implement a quick-build reconfiguration of the three-block corridor as a pilot Project , with the goal of enhancing pedestrian safety, improving multimodal access, and preserving access for businesses . The design converted San Fernando Boulevard from a two- way street to a one- way northbound configuration, while also adding curb extensions, restriping lanes, adjusting traffic signals, and introducing new loading and short -term parking zones . The pilot also retained

COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT
100
2 pandemic-era outdoor dining parklets and introduced new landscaping elements .

Implemented in March 2024, the pilot was designed to be low-cost and flexible, enabling staff to evaluate its performance over a 12 -month period and make modifications as needed. A before- and-after Project data collection and analysis was carried out to evaluate the pilot’s performance, and the Council received a six -month status update in October 2025 (Attachment 2).

The Project supports key goals in the Complete Our Streets Plan, Burbank2035 General Plan, and the forthcoming Downtown Burbank Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan, including creating a safer and more walkable Downtown, improving access to major transit hubs, and supporting future regional transit investments like the North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit line. In October 2024, Council received a six-month status update and directed staff to conduct additional analysis of near-miss collisions at two key intersections. This report provides a summary of the pilot’s completion, near -miss findings, and a recommendation to proceed with Phase 2 of the Project.

DISCUSSION
Project 12-Month Update
The focus for the second half of the pilot was to evaluate the number of collisions before and after the Project , study near -miss collisions and possible treatments at two key intersections, collect information on overall number of visitors and tax revenue during the pilot, and implement paid parking in Downtown.

For collisions, the number before and after the Project was similar and statistically minimal with no significant change after installation. Before the Project, between January 2023 to February 2024, there was one collision reported in the P roject area, which was a head- on crash caused by improper starting or backing of a vehicle . After the Project, between March 2024 and March 2025, there were two collisions which included a hit -and-run caused by improper passing, and a rear-end of a parked vehicle caused by unsafe speed resulting in one reported injury . None of these three collisions involved injuries to pedestrians or bicyclists.

Visitors and Tax Revenue
The addition of Paid Parking in Downtown and active parking enforcement seven days a week during the second half of the pilot further mitigated illegal parking activities, especially near mid- block crosswalks and near pedestrian painted areas . The Project area hosted several special events, like the Summer Arts Festival and the Winter Wine Walk, showing that the roadway elements installed for the pilot were able to accommodate these events and support the versatility and placemaking value of Downtown. The number of visitors in the Project area has remained steady since the Project’s installation at about 1.3 million per month, and quarterly tax revenue saw a 101
3 modest increase of 3.7 % over the pilot’s duration. Moreover, in March the Project received the Safety or Intelligent Transportation System Projects Award from the League of California Cities.

Near-Miss Collision Analysis
During the six -month Project update, Council shared concerns and observations about the way pedestrians outnumber cars in the Project area during certain days of the week, and whether these conditions could lead to close call interactions between the two modes.

As a result, Council directed staff to measure and analyze near -miss collisions at the intersections of San Fernando Boulevard at Palm Avenue and at Magnolia Boulevard, as those are the two busiest intersections in the Project area during peak times (Thursday through Saturday). Council also requested that staff analyze the feasibility of a scramble crosswalk treatment or an extended Lead Pedestrian Interval (LPI) at both locations. LPI is a brief signal phase when only pedestrians are allowed to step into the intersection before any vehicles are permitted to enter.

Staff conducted a qualitative and quantitative assessment analysis of near-miss collisions which consisted of capturing video footage of intersection activity and using third- party consultant video analysis software to count the number of pedestrian and vehicles moving through the two intersections in a three-day span between Thursday, February 20, 2025, through Saturday February 22, 2025. Around-the-clock monitoring captured the paths and patterns of pedestrians and cars crossing through the intersection and when paths of travel come close to intersecting (within one to five seconds). It also looked at intersection geometry, traffic signal timings, collision history, and considerations for roadway operations to maintain adequate traffic flow.

For the intersection at Palm Avenue, the analysis found that 71% of near-misses involved pedestrians crossing against the red hand signal, typically in response to a perceived gap in traffic after a vehicle had passed. This activity suggests that the improvements made by the Project, specifically removing the southbound lane, removing turn conflicts, shortening crossing distances, and maintaining slow vehicular speeds, have reduced the exposure pedestrians have to vehicular traffic, improved pedestrian visibility, and allowed pedestrians to cross the street regardless of signal phase. To address Council’s request, staff investigated a scramble crosswalk at this location and found that, aside from the new traffic signal equipment and striping that would be required, this treatment would require signal timing adjustments that would result in significantly longer wait times for both pedestrian and vehicles, which would likely worsen corridor operations for cars and people and could further worsen pedestrian crosswalk compliance. However, staff plans to further explore solutions to improve interactions at this intersection.

The findings at Magnolia Boulevard also showed that pedestrian volumes were higher than vehicles, but that pedestrian paths of travel more closely mirrored the existing 102
4 crosswalks and signal phases . About 55 % of the observed near -miss interactions occurred when pedestrians had the walk signal , showing that unlike at Palm Avenue, more near -misses at Magnolia Boulevard occurred when pedestrians were crossing correctly, highlighting the opportunity to further separate pedestrian and vehicular movements. Staff also studied a scramble crosswalk at this location, as well as an all - pedestrian phase, a similar treatment where pedestrians are allowed to cross in both street directions while all cars are given a red light. Both treatments were found to require adjusting signal timing for both cars and pedestrians that would result in overall longer wait times and likely cascading operational drawbacks downstream in the P roject area.

Further, the pedestrian scramble at this intersection is not feasible as part of Phase 1 because it would require significant capital expenditure, such as restriping the intersection and purchase and installation of new traffic signal equipment.

As a result of this analysis, staff recommends that no additional pedestrian crossing treatments be added to the Palm Avenue intersection at this time . For the Magnolia Boulevard intersection, staff will consider extending the LPI phase from four to seven seconds and installing no- right-on-red signage. This change will mean pedestrians will have a longer opportunity to begin their crossing while cars will not be able to make conflicting movements during the LPI or when the light is red. This approach will incur minimal cost and can be installed quickly, as it will only require signal timing readjustment and installing two traffic signs, will minimize the likelihood of downstream operational impacts, and can achieve much of the benefit of a scramble crosswalk.

Paid Parking Program
In March 2025, the City implemented a Parking Management Strategy (Strategy) for Downtown overlapping the Project a rea. The goal s of the Strategy are to address concerns about parking availability, congestion, inefficient use of curb space, and align parking operations with the broader goals of the Burbank2035 General Plan to improve transportation and land use in one of the most commercially active parts of the City. The program’s implementation consist ed of a comprehensive parking management system, covering 145 high-demand on-street parking spaces, and employing fees to ensure 80% occupancy, encourage turnover and reduce congestion. The Strategy includes mobile payment options, kiosks, and enhanced enforcement. Revenue from the program is used to operate the parking system and is reinvested into Downtown parking infrastructure.

These objectives are complimentary to the Project as they expand parking enforcement resources needed to provide more efficient curb management and decrease illegal parking along red curbs and the two new short-term parking areas, along with maintaining overall circulation and safety in Downtown.

103
5 Phase 2
The Downtown San Fernando Boulevard Reconfiguration Project Phase 2 is identified as a Medium-Term priority in the City’s Complete Our Streets Plan that would replace the quick-build improvements introduced in Phase 1 with permanent infrastructure (Attachment 3). With the pilot successfully demonstrating that one-way traffic operations support both access and safety, Phase 2 would make this configuration permanent. On- street parking would be retained, while roadway areas would be reconfigured to increase sidewalk wid ths and outdoor dining areas while maintaining the one- way travel lane .

These improvements would be accompanied by enhanced landscaping, shade trees, upgraded irrigation, pedestrian- scale lighting, outdoor dining space, and other streetscape amenities to create a more inviting and accessible environment.

Moving to Phase 2 of the Project would involve planning and conceptual design, refinement of the roadway cross section identification of additional amenities, and preparation of technical studies for surveying, utility relocation, traffic analysis and other analysis. Public engagement with key stakeholders, including the City’s Property -Based Business Improvement District (PBID) , commissions, and community groups, would shape priorities related to sidewalk furnishings, lighting, trees, and access features .

Although the City secured a $1 million state grant to begin these activities, additional funding via grant funds or other sources would need to be identified for the full Phase 2 project, which is estimated to have a rough order of magnitude cost of approximate $7 million dollars.

Next Steps
Should Council approve staff’s recommendation to maintain the Phase 1 improvements while initiating Phase 2, work on Phase 2 could begin as early as Winter 2026 with the initiation of planning and design . Phase 2 w ill include community outreach, developing conceptual renderings, detailed engineering, technical analysis (e.g., further mobility- and economic-related metrics), environmental review, and refinement of the permanent street layout through interdepartmental coordination and targeted stakeholder engagement .

Staff w ill also work with stakeholders , such as the PBID Board, Transportation Commission, and other community groups, to guide decisions on sidewalk furnishings, lighting, landscaping, outdoor dining elements , and potential for flexible street closures using equipment such as built -in bollards that can be raised to close streets for special events.

During this period, staff will continue pursuing construction funding from regional, state, and federal sources, to potentially be combined with other local infrastructure funding .

The planning process w ill culminate in conceptual renderings and design alternatives, which will be presented to Council for selection of a preferred option. The preliminary planning and design work within Phase 2 is expected to take approximately 18 months to complete.
104
6 Once a preferred design is selected, staff will prepare construction documents and cost estimates for permitting and bidding. Outreach efforts and measures to minimize construction-related disruptions to businesses w ill also be developed. The timeline for final design and construction of the Phase 2 is dependent on securing additional funds for construction. If funds were secured during the planning and preliminary design phase, final design and construction could take an additional 24 to 36 months to complete.

Additionally, approval of staff’s recommendation would authorize ongoing maintenance of Phase 1 quick -build improvements . This includes repainting crosswalks and yellow pedestrian areas, replacing plastic bollards, maintaining planters, and modifying the traffic signal at San Fernando Boulevard and Magnolia Boulevard as discussed above to improve pedestrian crossings. The interim configuration is expected to remain in place for approximately four to five years, depending on when construction funding is secured.

This timeline may be extended if additional time is needed to secure full funding.

Alternatively, Council may direct staff to remove the Phase 1 improvements and restore the street to its original condition. This would involve eliminating successful pilot elements such as shorter crossing distances, flex parking zones, and expanded pedestrian space, resulting in increased vehicle traffic and reduced walkability. This scenario would require coordination across departments, vendors, and stakeholders to remove equipment, restripe the roadway, reorient parking, and reset traffic signals . Based on consistent community input throughout the project, restoring San Fernando Boulevard to its previous layout would run counter to the feedback expressed by most property owners , businesses, residents, and visitors, who have strongly supported efforts to enhance Downtown’s walkability.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Outreach for this Project began with the development of the Complete Our Streets Plan throughout 2019 and 2020. Outreach continued through a series of surveys administered to the Downtown PBID during the COVID-19 pandemic, during outdoor dining operations and a temporary closure of the Project area, and more recently after the pilot Project was installed. Other public outreach events between 2022 and 2025 included pop-up events at the Cultural Market and Farmers Market, and multiple presentations to the Downtown PBID Board and the Transportation Commission. On October 3, 2024, s taff provided a six-month update to the Downtown PBID Board to gather further feedback and insight on the Project. In May 2025, the PBID Board provided a letter of support for a Metro grant application that could fund Phase 2 of the Project and improve Downtown First/Last mile connectivity.

Staff conducted two surveys to assess stakeholder and visitor opinions about the Project.

The first, distributed to all PBID members in July 2024, received 39 responses. Results 105
7 indicated generally favorable views, with a majority finding the one- way configuration beneficial, appropriate for safety, and expressing support or neutrality toward making the changes permanent (Attachment 4). A second survey was conducted in May 2025 at two pop-up events during the Cultural Market on the AMC Walkway/Palm Paseo and the Farmers Market, resulting in approximately 100 interactions and 36 completed surveys.

Feedback was strongly positive, with most respondents reporting they liked the changes, felt safer walking or driving on San Fernando Boulevard, were more likely to visit Downtown Burbank, and supported making the Project permanent. Respondents also reported a mix of walking and driving as primary travel modes, with most identifying as Burbank residents (Attachment 5).

In July 2025, the Transportation Commission voted 4- 1 in support of s taff’s recommendation to build upon the pilot’s momentum and advance the Project to Phase

2. In their motion, and in line with public feedback received about the Project, Commissioners requested further exploration of flexible or permanent street closures in the Project area to continue making Downtown more walkable and welcoming for visitors, especially during special events. They also requested more analysis of the Project’s fiscal impacts on Downtown businesses, number of visitors, continued assessment of traffic safety, and ongoing stakeholder engagement through Phase 2’s development.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Implementation of the first phase of the Downtown Burbank San Fernando Boulevard Reconfiguration Project as directed by Council was previously determined to be exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines - 14 CCR § 15301(c), as the action involved maintenance or alterat ion of existing streets that did not result in any expansion of the use, and the action added safety or health protection devices in conjunction with existing facilities.

If the Council directs staff to proceed with maintaining the existing Phase 1 temporary street improvements while planning and designing Phase 2 improvements, the maintenance activities will remain exempt from CEQA pursuant to 14 CCR § 15301(c) as the action will include maintenance of existing streets and sidewalks, that will not involve expansion of existing or former use and will not create additional automobile lanes. Any potential environmental impacts derived from more permanent infrastructure installed as part of Phase 2 will be studied separately as part of Phase 2 planning in accordance with CEQA, and the related environmental analysis will be presented for Council consideration prior to Council’s selection and approval of the final Phase 2 design.

Alternatively, if the Council directs staff to restore the Project Area to its original conditions, the restoration is similarly exempt under CEQA Guidelines – 14 CCR § 15301. The restoration would be limited to the modification of existing pavement markers and striping. These modifications are considered minor alterations to an existing public 106
8 facility with negligible or no expansion of existing or former use, and do not constitute a new development or result in substantial changes to the existing environment.

Additionally, the restored 2- way configuration would not substantially increase capacity, result in additional vehicle miles traveled, or expand the overall function beyond the former street use that existed prior to the temporary reconfiguration.

Therefore, the planned restoration would fall within the scope of the Class 1 - "Existing Facilities" CEQA exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT
Should Council approve staff’s recommendation, there would be no immediate fiscal impact to the City Budget . In the 202 5-26 Fiscal Year adopted Budget, Council appropriated $100,000 of additional funds for this Project in account # 107.CD33A.70002.0000.24206, to maintain the Phase 1 improvements (refreshing paint at crosswalks and new pedestrian areas, replacing damaged white plastic bollards, and ongoing maintenance of planters). Over the longer term, the City would need to identify additional funding to complement the $1 million in grant funds already secured to construct the Phase 2 improvements.

Alternatively, if the Council wishes to pursue restoration of the Project area to its original conditions, staff estimates it would cost approximately $150,000 between staff time, labor, and vendor services . Similarly, this cost could be accommodated in the existing City budget.

CONCLUSION
Phase 1 of the Downtown Burbank San Fernando Boulevard Reconfiguration Project achieved significant positive changes to Downtown Burbank, aligning with the City's broader goals of improving safety and enhancing the pedestrian experience. By converting the corridor to one-way northbound travel and implementing proven pedestrian safety countermeasures, such as curb extensions and delineators, the Project has led to measurable safety improvements . These improvements include a notable increase in driver yield compliance at crosswalks along key segments, adding short -term parking areas, and curtailing illegal parking, while also preserving the strong baseline safety conditions that existed prior to implementation. These results reflect the success of the Phase 1 pilot, which demonstrated that San Fernando Boulevard could maintain vehicle access while creating a more walkable and inviting environment for all users.

Staff recommends that Council direct staff to maintain the existing Phase 1 street improvements and proceed with initiating Phase 2 a s it offers a strategic path to ensure Downtown Burbank continues to evolve in a way that balances access, safety, and long- term economic vitality . Phase 2 of the Project would build on Phase 1 momentum, transitioning the temporary improvements into permanent infrastructure designed to better serve the long- term needs of Downtown Burbank . With enhanced sidewalks, 107
9 upgraded landscaping, expanded outdoor uses, and new public amenities, the Project will support a more inviting and attractive streetscape that reinforces Downtown as a vibrant civic and economic hub. Lastly, in combination with improvements currently in development for the AMC Walkway/Palm Paseo, maintaining the improvements from Phase 1 and initiating Phase 2 will enhance the City’s position as a regional destination prepared to welcome visitors for upcoming international events (2026 Super Bowl, 2026 FIFA World Cup, and 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games) while continuing to support local businesses and the local community.

BACKG
ROUND
In 2020, City Council (Council) adopted the Citywide Complete Our Streets Plan, which identified specific projects for implementation. Projects were classified as either long-term or short-term as determined by stakeholders’ input and data analysis of certain criteria, including priority eligibility areas, number of collisions, cost, and ability to be implemented quickly. The D owntown Burbank San Fernando Boulevard Reconfiguration Project - Phase 1 (Project) is one of the short-term priority projects located in the City’s Downtown, between Olive Avenue and Magnolia Boulevard. (Attachment 1).

I
n January 2023, Council directed staff to reconfigure the three- block stretch of San Fernando Blvd, conduct data analysis and public outreach to measure the performance of the reconfiguration, and provide Council with a performance assessment six months after the Project's installation. The main goal of the Project is to enhance vehicular and pedestrian safety in Downtown Burbank, which has the highest amount of pedestrian and vehicular activity in the City

1. Further, data collected for the Complete Our Streets Plan revealed that over 80% of pedestrian-vehicle collisions are due to the fault of the motorist, 1 City of Burbank, Citywide Complete Our Streets Plan (2020), Figure 2-29, Page 30

2 and those collisions predominately occur when vehicles are making turning movements2.

Underscoring the risk that pedestrians face in such a high activity urban area became the impetus of the Project.

T
he Project consists of reconfiguring San Fernando Blvd between Olive Ave and Magnolia B lvd from a two -lane, two- way street into a one- lane, one- way street in the northbound direction. Included in this reconfiguration is a re-orientation of angled parking spaces on the west side of the street, implementation of painted curb extensions at intersections, narrowing of travel lanes with roadway striping and paint, temporary reconfiguration of traffic signals to support the one-way operation, and implementation of additional loading zone and short -term parking spaces on San Fernando B lvd. The Project preserves the in- street outdoor dining parklets installed as COVID -19 pandemic measures and added temporary potted plant landscaping to enhance new pedestrian spaces.

T
his Project is being implemented as a 12- month pilot with the objective of testing the benefits and success of the roadway reconfiguration achieved using “quick -build” materials, meant to be low in cost, eas y to install, and eas y to remove. This allows the City to test the Project, measure its effects, and modify the improvements in response to observations. It also supports other City planning documents and efforts, like the Burbank2035 General Plan’s Mobility Element, which strives to ensure that “Burbank’s complete streets will meet all mobility needs and improve community health”. The Project would also support the upcoming Downtown Burbank Transit Oriented District Specific Plan’s key objectives of creating a pedestrian friendly environment, enhancing multimodal access connections between the Downtown’s major public transit stations and the rest of the City , and ensur ing enough parking availability and accessibility for all modes of transport to the City’s Downtown commercial attractions and amenities. Additionally, with the proposed North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit System planned stop at Olive Ave and San Fernando Blvd expected to open for service in 2027, this Project will further improve the appeal and connectivity between Downtown Burbank and the larger region.

SCUSSION
Project Installation
The Project was implemented during the first week of March 2024, initiating the 12-month pilot period. The Project’s installation involved strategic temporary street closures that enabled necessary roadwork to put the Project in place and simultaneously retained pedestrian and loading access to affected Downtown businesses. Additionally, community stakehold ers were notified of the Project’s installation via the City’s social 2 City of Burbank, Citywide Complete Our Streets Plan (2020), Figure 2-30, Page 30 ATTACHMENT 2 - 2

Pai
nted curb extensions were installed at all major intersections and midblock crossings to shorten pedestrian crossing distances and improve the line of sight between vehicles and pedestrians , thereby addressing crosswalk yield compliance issues. Contrasting yellow paint was used throughout the Project at curb extensions to match the branding color palette used by the Downtown Property Improvement District (PBID) and provide a cohesive aesthetic and sense of identity. Plastic bollards were installed to separate the space between pedestrians and vehicles along with new planters. Pavement markers were added to indicate the presence of a new class III bikeway, or shared lane, to promote bicycling in the northbound direction and improve bicyclist connectivity to the City’s bicycle network. The Project added four on-street parking spaces, retained all pre-existing ADA parking, and installed two new flexible parking areas to accommodate commercial and passenger loading demand. Additional loading zone curb parking spaces off San Fernando Blvd on Magnolia Blvd , Palm Ave, and Orange Grove Ave were added with consistent time restrictions for loading zones and short -term parking to better accommodate commercial activities and food-delivery driver demand.

S
afety Countermeasures
For the Project to achieve its goal of improving safety for all roadway users, it must successfully i mplement proven pedestrian safety countermeasures outlined in the Caltrans' Local Roadway Safety Manual (2024). This Project implemented the following safety countermeasures:
• C
hanged San Fernando Blvd from two -way to one -way, which is expected to reduce all collisions by 35%;
• Added delineators, reflectors, and object markers, with a crash reduction factor (CRF) of 15%;
• Installed curb extensions at crosswalks, expected to reduce pedestrian and bicycle collisions by 35%; and
• Modified traffic signals to give pedestrians a head start (Leading Pedestrian Interval; LPI), reducing pedestrian and bicycle collisions by 60%.

M
easuring Success
Success of the Project is being measured using identified key metrics to assess conditions before and after installation directly related to the purpose of the Project, as listed in the Complete Our Streets Plan , to enhance vehicular and pedestrian safety.

Secondary benefits of the pilot design include encouraging more walking and bike activity Downtown and providing commercial loading areas to reduce double parking. To help ATTACHMENT 2 - 3
112
4 understand whether the Project is succeeding in achieving its stated goal, t he analyses focus on the following before and after implementation elements:

• Pedestrian and bicycle activity based on counts collected at study intersections; • Safety analysis inclusive of auto speeds, yield compliance at midblock crosswalks, and the number and severity of collisions along the Project corridor; • Commercial loading activity based on 24 hours of video data on the corridor; and • Traffic distribution, Level of Service (LOS), and queueing analysis.

While auto LOS is also being analyzed to understand the impact of the Project on auto travel behavior and delay , it is not a performance metric for evaluating Project success as the metric does not directly relate to the Project goals of safety, increased multimodal activity, and loading activity control. This measure does, however, assess whether the reconfiguration has pushed traffic demand to other nearby streets.

The pre- installation data analysis of the metrics listed above was carried out in 2022 (Attachment 2), in which commercial loading activity was also observed during a 24-hour period before and after the Project to capture curb utilization and illegal parking. This confirmed the timeframes when most commercial loading takes place, the severity of vehicles parking along red curbs and mid- block crosswalks. Additionally, Downtown businesses were surveyed on their perceptions of the proposed Project and general on- street parking needs. Results from the loading analysis and survey established that retaining on-street parking and vehicular access to the Project area was a top priority for businesses, and informed time restriction used in the new flex parking spaces, which followed similar time restrictions already in place throughout Downtown to provide commercial loading between 5AM – 12PM, 10-minute parking between 12PM - 9PM, and no parking 3AM – 5AM.

Post-I
nstallation Analysis Results
Post-installation data was collected in May 2024 for the same metrics analyzed prior to implementation (Attachment 3). Starting with crosswalk yield compliance in the Project area, results showed that before the Project was built, vehicles were yielding to pedestrians at a rate of as low as 51%. After Project implementation, yield compliance improved by more than 20% between Orange Grove Ave and Olive Ave (63% to 85%) and Magnolia Blvd and Palm Ave (63% to 86%), and by more than 30% between Palm Ave and Orange Grove Ave (51% to 83%).

Auto speeds remained largely consistent before and after implementation, with 85% of vehicles traveling at or below 21 mph. Specific segments showed minor changes in speed, with slight variations of 1 mph up or down across the corridor, but all segments were well below the 25 mph speed limit.

ATTACHMENT 2 - 4
113
5 The two new flex parking areas between Magnolia Blvd and Palm Ave, and between Palm Ave and Orange Grove Ave, have proven beneficial for commercial loading and short - term parking, with increased use of the designated spaces. Commercial loading also remained consistent before and after the Project’s installation, signaling that there were no adverse impacts to businesses’ loading needs. However, a significant amount of loading still occurs in red curb zones and through double parking. Staff will evaluate whether extending the flex -zone loading hours beyond 12PM and designating a food delivery waiting area in a nearby City garage, will reduce illegal parking. T he potential establishment of better parking management and paid parking in Downtown would also better manage parking demands and improve adherence to regulations.

V
ehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle volume counts on San Fernando Blvd revealed several positive outcomes post-implementation. Despite a reduction in vehicle volumes across all segments, pedestrian volumes remained high, even surpassing auto volumes in key areas. Notably, pedestrian activity increased slightly between Magnoli a Blvd and Palm Ave, indicating the corridor’s enhanced walkability. Bicycle volumes also showed consistency, with minor fluctuations, demonstrating ongoing use of the corridor by cyclists. Auto volumes on San Fernando Blvd decreased as expected due to the removal of one travel lane, but increased slightly on Third St, First St, and side streets, suggesting that overall access to Downtown was not changed but did shift slightly to other streets.

Nonetheless, LOS measurements at intersections around the Project showed no appreciable increase in vehicle delay due to the reconfiguration. Finally, vehicle queues were measured on San Fernando Blvd and surrounding street intersections. These measurements showed longer queuing times than before the reconfiguration at four specific intersections: San Fernando Blvd and Orange Grove Ave (eastbound left), San Fernando Blvd and Magnolia Blvd (northbound left), 1
st Street and Orange Grove Avenue
(southbound left), and 1 st St and Olive Ave (northbound left). Anecdotally, staff has observed periods of higher vehicle queues along San Fernando Blvd as traffic enters the reconfigured street to find parking. This queuing is not necessarily due to the reconfiguration to one-way operation but could be exacerbated by the narrower lanes that prevent cars from passing others waiting to park. It should be noted that this behavior occurred prior to the reconfiguration and would likely be relieved if appropriate parking management were implemented.

A
post-installation survey was also distributed to Downtown businesses in July 2024 (Attachment 4). The survey results show ed overall positive feedback on the Reconfiguration Project with a majority (54%) agreeing that the one- way configuration has benefited the area, and 41% of respondents believing it helps attract more customers.

Additionally, 72% feel the current level of safety along San Fernando Blvd is appropriate, and 69% are either supportive or neutral about making the changes permanent. Finally , 62% of those surveyed expressed either satisfaction or neutrality about the changes, with a minority (38%) supporting dissatisfaction.

ATTACHMENT 2 - 5

6 Coordination meetings between Community Development, Public Works, Fire, and Police Departments were held throughout the Project’s design and installation process to ensure emergency vehicle access is maintained. The Fire Department has indicated that responding to calls in the area prior to the reconfiguration was already challenging but the narrower street, coupled with private vehicles continuing to park illegally in No Stopping areas, have made traversing this segment of San Fernando Blvd even more challenging.

The Police Department noted that the continued presence of illegally parked vehicles and loading activities in No Stopping areas on San Fernando Blvd require more enforcement resources to maintain a clear path of travel and reinforce behavior. Additional parking enforcement resources would likely improve but may not entirely eliminate this issue.

At present, staff is working on developing a Parking Management Strategy for Downtown overlapping the Project Area, which aims to address concerns about parking availability, congestion, and inefficient use of curb space. The Parking Management Strategy will be presented to the City Council in late 2024 and would align with the broader goals of the Burbank2035 General Plan to improve transportation and land use in one of the most commercially active parts of the City . Currently, limited parking tools and regulations contribute to issues such as low turnover and high demand in Downtown Burbank, particularly on San Fernando Boulevard. Should the City Council desire to implement this strategy, it would consist of a comprehensive parking management system, covering 145 high-demand on-street parking spaces, and employing fees to ensure 80% occupancy , encourage turnover and reduce congestion. The Parking Management Strategy would include mobile payment options, kiosks, and enhanced enforcement, with potential excess revenue reinvested into parking infrastructure. These objectives would be complimentary to the Project as they would expand parking enforcement resources needed to provide more efficient curb management and decrease illegal parking along red curbs and the two new short -term parking areas, along with maintaining overall circulation and safety in Downtown.

Next Steps
Staff plans to collect more data at the nine-month point focusing on changes to commercial loading activity, and a deeper review of the number of visitors observed in Downtown before and after the Project’s installation. Comparison of the metrics described above will also be made to determine the Project’s overall performance. Outreach efforts and Project updates are planned in the form of a community meeting, a pop- up event at the Cultural Market, and an update to the Transportation Commission. Additionally, staff will continue monitoring traffic operations in the corridor and explore ways to improve circulation without compromising pedestrian safety gains through signal timing adjustments and continued parking enforcement to decrease road obstructions, including analyzing the feasibility and options for improving pedestrian crossing at San Fernando Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue.

ATTACHMENT 2 - 6

7 City Staff views the San Fernando Reconfiguration Project and proposed paid parking management for Downtown Burbank to be complementary projects. They are critical projects that seek to improve safety and circulation (the Reconfiguration project), and improve access and availability (paid parking management) to Downtown Burbank.

Upon the pilot’s completion, a 12- month update will be provided to Council focusing on the Project’s assessment, community input, and formal recommendation to either move the Project to a second phase, restore the roadway to its original conditions, or consider other alternatives.

Outreach for this Project began with the development of the Complete Our Streets Plan throughout 2019 and 2020, and through surveys administered to the Downtown PBID as part of COVID-19 outdoor dining and a temporary closure of the Project area. Other public outreach events in 2022 and 2023 included pop- up events at the Cultural Market and Farmers Market, and presentations to the Downtown PBID Board and the Transportation Commission. On October 3, 2024, staff provided a six -month update to the Downtown PBID Board to gather further feedback and insight on the Project.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Implementation of the first phase of the Downtown Burbank San Fernando Boulevard Reconfiguration Project as directed by Council was previously determined to be exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to 14 CCR § 15301(c), as the action involved maintenance or alteration of existing streets that did not result in any expansion of the use, and the action add ed safety or health protection devices in conjunction with existing facilities. Further, this six -month update to Council has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and as such, is not a “project” subject to the requirements of CEQA 14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to operating the pilot phase of this Project.

CONCLUSION

The Downtown San Fernando Boulevard Reconfiguration Project has brought significant positive changes to Downtown Burbank, aligning with the City's broader goals of improving safety and enhancing the pedestrian experience. By converting the corridor to a one-way northbound street, the Project has successfully increased pedestrian safety, as demonstrated by an over 20% improvement in vehicle yield compliance at midblock crosswalks. Key safety features, such as curb extensions and bollards, have further enhanced pedestrian visibility and security, while preserving on- street parking and providing designated commercial loading zones has helped maintain business access ATTACHMENT 2 - 7

8 and operations. Feedback from businesses and the community has largely been positive, with 54% of respondents indicating that the reconfiguration has been beneficial to the area, and 41% reporting that it has helped attract customers, underscoring the Project 's role in supporting Downtown’s economic vitality.

A
dditionally, the Project has strengthened Downtown’s pedestrian-oriented environment, with an observed increase in foot traffic in certain segments of the corridor and consistent bicycle activity. The introduction of flexible parking areas has also provided necessary loading accommodations without adversely impacting parking availability. With 72% of survey respondents indicating that the current safety level is appropriate and 69% expressing support or neutrality toward making the changes permanent, the Project has demonstrated both practical benefits and community stakeholder approval. As the pilot phase progresses, continued data collection and community outreach will be essential in assessing the Project’s long-term viability and ensuring it aligns with the City’s goals of enhancing multimodal access and maintaining Downtown Burbank’s appeal as a commercial and recreational destination.

H
owever, issues such as illegal parking in red zones and ongoing double parking indicate a need for stronger enforcement, which may be alleviated with additional parking enforcement resources and signage. Fire and Police Departments have also highlighted concerns regarding emergency access due to the narrower roadway and congestion .

Therefore, ongoing coordination will be crucial to address these operational hurdles.

Furthermore, while auto volumes have shifted to adjacent streets without causing major delays, localized queuing remains a concern, particularly around intersections. As the pilot phase continues into its second half, further data collection and public engagement will guide decisions on the Project’s future, ensuring that lessons learned are incorporated into a potential Phase 2, which would balance making permanent safety improvements to the corridor combined with practical considerations for all roadway users.

1 STAFF REPORT

DATE: August 26, 2025

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

FROM: Kimberley Clark, City Clerk
BY: Kimberley Clark, City Clerk, and Linda Thai, Assistant City Clerk

SUBJECT: Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Title 2, Chapter 1, Article 4 (Boards, Commissions, and Committees) of the Burbank Municipal Code Relating to Boards, Commissions, and Committees

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AMENDING TITLE 2, CHAPTER 1, ARTICLE 4 (BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND COMMITTEES) OF

THE BURBANK MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO BOARDS, COMMISSIONS, AND COMMITTEES.

SUMMARY
The above-entitled Ordinance was introduced at a City Council Regular Meeting on July 29, 2025. Council Members Anthony, Mullins, and Rizzotti, and Vice Mayor Takahashi were present. At the introduction , Council requested the following modifications to the Ordinance.

• Term Limits – § 2-1-401.C
This section was adjusted to apply the term limits prospectively, regardless of the number of consecutive terms that have commenced before August 1, 2025, and clarify that the term limit does not extend to Council -appointed representatives on external agencies.

• Senior Citizen Board (Applications) – § 2-1-415.D
This section was adjusted with minor administrative changes related to the process of applying for a vacant position.

130
2 • Burbank Water and Power Board and Transportation Commission (Meeting Location) – §§ 2-1-418.D and 2-1-419.D
These sections were adjusted to remove the requirement to hold meetings in the Council Chambers.

• Consistent Board Member Composition
On July 29, 2025, Council voted to introduce the ordinance with language that improves the consistency of board member composition, reducing composition of the following six Boards, Commissions, and Committees (BCCs) from seven to five members to bring their membership consistent with other BCCs1:

• Board of Library Trustees
• Burbank Water and Power Board
• Infrastructure Oversight Board
• Police Commission
• Senior Citizen Board
• Transportation Commission

It was proposed to implement the composition changes during the 2026 annual recruitment cycle by reducing the positions through attrition upon expiring terms .

However, as an alternative, Council could consider the following implementation options:
1) Reappointment of All Members in July 2026: Delay the reduction in BCC membership until the next annual recruitment (July 2026), at which time all current BCC terms could be scheduled to expire, and all members would have the opportunity to reapply under the newly established member composition guidelines. This approach would provide a clear and equitable transition timeline, maintain continuity in the short term, and allow all current members to be considered for reappointment in alignment with the new structure. Any terms created by members who vacate their position during the year would remain vacant and be eliminated through attrition.

2) General Delay of Composition Changes for Planning Transition: Postpone implementation of the reduction for one year or more, allowing current members to continue serving and providing additional time for transition planning and outreach. Any terms created by members who vacate their position during the year would remain vacant and be eliminated through attrition.

1 The following BCCs are comprised of five members each: Board of Building and Fire Code Appeals, Charter Review Committee, Civil Service Board, Heritage Commission, Landlord-Tenant Commission, Park, Recreation, and Community Services Board, and Planning Commission.
131
3 • Updated Attendance Policy
On July 29, 2025, Council voted to implement the following Attendance Policy:

a) Absences will be tracked during the 12 -month period of August 1 st to July 31 st, with the absence count resetting the following August 1st.

b) A BCC member’s second absence from a regular meeting would continue to trigger a warning, but rather than notifying the BCC chair, staff would directly notify the member in writing with a copy provided to the chair and the City Clerk.

c) Upon a third absence within this period, the City Clerk will place the matter on the City Council’s agenda for consideration and action to either excuse the absences or remove the member.

d) Should the Council excuse the member’s three absences, and the member misses a fourth meeting within that 12 -month period, the member shall automatically be removed from their position by City staff.

Staff recommends the updated attendance policy take effect August 1, 2025, rather than waiting until the 2026 annual recruitment period as member absences continue to present a challenge. During the previous reporting period of August 2024 to July 2025, 10 BCC members failed to attend at least 75% of the scheduled meetings.

When a BCC member is in violation of the Attendance Policy, staff must:

• Email the BCC liaison to confirm that a notice of the Attendance Policy was sent to the BCC member.
• Confirm the date that the BCC will meet to consider the member’s absences. • Request a letter from the Chair regarding the BCC’s recommendation as to how to handle the absences.
• Create a Staff Report for Council to deliberate on whether to excuse the absences or remove the member.
• If the member is removed, the process of recruiting a replacement begins.

While implementing the updated attendance policy immediately would not reduce the staff time and effort involved to address each instance of excessive absenteeism , it would eliminate the need for staff overseeing the BCCs to employ formulas based on percentages to calculate a member’s absence rate.

132
4 Vote at Introduction:

AYES: Anthony, Mullins, Rizzotti, and Takahashi.

NOES: None.

ABSENT: Perez.

This Ordinance, as modified, is now presented for adoption. The Ordinance also contains minor, non-substantive changes, such as formatting and citation, and includes standard provisions related to publication and codification.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity involves internal reorganization and has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. As such, it is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378).

FISCAL IMPACT
Attachment 4 provides the results of a survey of 52 cities which have, on average, 12 BCCs comprised of 5–7 members each. The City of Burbank has a total of 23 BCCs with a current member roster of 129 individuals. The City’s 23 BCCs require considerable support and resources, and it is anticipated that the proposed changes will decrease the amount of staff time required to manage them. Funding to pay for the needed updates to the Burbank Municipal Code is provided by the City Clerk’s Office and the changes will be implemented by the City’s vendor, General Code.

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS

Each BCC provides a valuable benefit and advantage to our community. Some staff members who work closely with the City’s BCCs, have recommended potential modifications to the current BCC structure and composition. Staff is seeking direction from Council on the proposed recommendations.

1. Establishing a Consistent Member Composition

To establish uniformity, consider setting an appropriate and consistent member composition. Staff recommend ations included establishing a consistent composition of five (5) members - or in the case of some BCCs , no more than seven (7) members - for all City-initiated BCCs. An exception would be the Youth 177

9 Board (see section 2e, below). If Council opts to reduce the size of a given BCC, this could be gradually implemented as current terms expire or positions become vacant. The City Clerk’s Office conducted a survey of 52 cities (Attachment 1) and found that, on average, each had 12 BCCs comprised of 5–7 members.

2. Consolidation, Changes to Membership, and BCC Name Changes a. Remove the requirement to appoint one member to the Art in Public Places Committee from the residential community and one member from the business community following a recommendation from the Chamber of Commerce.
b. C onsolidate the Burbank Cultural Arts Commission and Art in Public Places Committee as a new commission potentially named the Cultural Affairs Commission. This new Cultural Affairs Commission would maximize and leverage resources, including staffing, to achieve goals and objectives in an efficient manner.
c. Consider changing the name of the Community Goals Committee to a more descriptive name such as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Goals Committee.
d. Allow all members of the Youth Board, including “middle school voting alternates,” to be voting members.
e. Add a member to the Youth Board drawn from the high school student body of Lycee International (LILA) de Los Angeles.
f. R educe the Youth Board to 13 members, 10 of whom (11 if LILA is added) would represent the designated schools as stated in the BMC with three (or four) members appointed at-large to maintain an odd member number (13 or 15) for voting purposes and to allow non- designated schools an opportunity for representation.

3. Attendance Policy and Causes for Removal

Currently, BMC § 2-1- 403: ABSENCES AND VACANCIES (Attachment 2) provides limited reasons for BCC member removal , namely absences (three consecutive regular meeting absences or failure to attend 75% of regularly scheduled meetings in a 12-month period).

Council may wish to simplify the attendance requirement in the code:
178

10 a. A member’s second absence would continue to trigger a warning, but rather than staff notifying the BCC chair, staff would directly notify the member in writing with a copy provided to the chair and the City Clerk. b. Instead of relying on the member’s appointment date or their attendance during the previous quarter , Council could amend the code to apply to situations where a member misses three meetings during the 12- month period of August 1 to July 31, with the absence count resetting the following August 1st. Upon the third absence the City Clerk would implement the existing procedure (i.e., the matter is placed on the Council’s agenda for consideration and action to either excuse the absences or remove the member.
c. Additionally, should the Council excuse the member’s three absences and the member misses a fourth meeting, Council may wish to amend the code so that upon the member’s fourth absence within that 12-month period, the City Clerk would implement the existing procedure. Alternatively, Council may authorize the member’s automatic removal by City staff. d. Finally, Council may amend the attendance requirement in the code to allow the members of the BCC to confer and recommend to Council a member’s removal for situations that are not tied solely to three or more missed meetings, such as repeated absences after an excusal hearing.

Council may wish to add additional reasons for BCC member removal:
a. Violation of the policies outlined in “City Council Expectations of Board, Commission, and Committee Members” (Attachment 3).
b. Failure to attend training sessions mandated by the City.

Other Council Considerations:

The Council may wish to consider other aspects of managing the City’s BCCs, including:
• Implementing term limits for BCC members
• Eliminating the requirement for members to be registered electors of the City • Requiring members of the Burbank Cultural Arts Commission and the Sustainable Burbank Commission to be Burbank residents
• Removing non-voting liaisons from the Sustainable Burbank Commission • Addressing whether individuals serving on one BCC can apply to serve on another without resigning from their current position; alternatively, Council may wish to 179

11 require serving BCC members to complete their term before applying for a different BCC.
• E stablishing guidelines for the conduct of BCC meetings similar to the guidelines recently established for City Council meetings; Council may also wish to ask BCCs to establish annual or biennial goals and report out on progress.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This activity involves internal reorganization and has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. As such, it is not a “project” subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs § 15378).

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. However, each BCC requires City staff support and resources.

CONCLUSION
Staff is seeking direction from Council as to which proposals they wish to pursue and approval to return with more information and an outline of the steps necessary to implement them . Staff’s initial recommendations provide multiple benefits including reducing overlapping roles and duties, increasing the efficient use of City staff and resources, ensuring qualified and trained BCC members, and establishing defined guidelines and standards for all BCCs.

SUBJECT: Consideration of the Board of Library Trustees Recommendation to Excuse the Absences of Board Member

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the recommendation of the Board of Library Trustees (Board) to excuse the absences of Board Member Emily Weisberg.

BACKGROUND
Burbank Municipal Code (BMC) § 2-1-403 requires that a Member who is absent for three consecutive meetings or who fails to attend at least 75% of the regularly scheduled meetings during a 12-month period have their attendance record reviewed by the Board, Commission, or Committee on which they serve and a recommendation made to Council to either excuse the absences, remove the Member, or take any other appropriate action deemed necessary by Council.

DISCUSSION
Board Member Emily Weisberg was originally appointed to the Board by Council on July 17, 2018, and was reappointed on July 12, 2022, to serve a term ending on July 31, 2026.

The Board holds meetings on the second Wednesday monthly. Board Member Weisberg missed the following five regularly scheduled meetings:
• August 14, 2024
• November 13, 2024
• February 12, 2025
• March 12, 2025
• June 11, 2025

Re: Report and Recommendation – Board of Library Trustees Board Member Absences ________________________________________________________________________

Mayor Perez, Vice-Mayor Takahashi, and Honorable City Council Members:

This memo serves as the Board of Library Trustees’ (BOLT) report and recommendation on a recent member’s absences, in accordance with Burbank Municipal Code (Code) Section 2-1-403.A, which states:

“Absences: In the event a member of a board, commission or committee is absent for three (3) consecutive regularly scheduled meetings of the board, commission or committee to which they have been appointed, or who fails to attend at least seventy five percent (75%) of the regularly scheduled meetings during a twelve (12) month period, which commences on the date of the appointment of the individual member to office, the attendance record of such member shall be reviewed by the board, commission, or committe e to which the member was appointed. The board, commission, or committee shall consider the reasons for the absences with the member and make a determination whether the absences should be excused or unexcused by the City Council. The report and recommendation shall be transmitted to the City Clerk who shall agendize the matter for City Council consideration. The City Council shall take appropriate action including, but not limited to, excusing the absences, removing the member, or such other action as the Council deems appropriate.”

Recently, Board Member Weisberg has fallen out of compliance with the required 75% attendance rate over a twelve -month period, as outlined in Code Section 2 -1-403.A. The table below details h er attendance from August 2024 to July 2025. From the overall calculation, the attendance record for regularly scheduled meetings under the Code is 50%, which is below the 75% threshold.

The BOLT discussed these absences at its August 13th meeting. Board Member Weisberg expressed her regrets for missing the Board meetings due to work commitments and BUSD Board of Education meeting or event conflicts. Ms. Weisberg was initially appointed to BOLT in July 2018 and is currently serving a second term with a history of meeting commitments.

The BOLT understands the unique situation and do es not expect further issues with attendance. Given her dedication, valuable insights, and contributions that greatly benefit the Board and our community, the BOLT voted unanimously to excuse Board Member Weisberg’s absences and to recommend that City Council excuse these absences as well.

Thank you for your consideration of the BOLT’s recommendation on this matter. 185

SUBJECT: Discussion of the Valet Parking Meter Fees for Paid Parking Meter Zones

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council direct staff to implement the Valet Parking Meter Fee as approved in November 2024.

BACKGROUND
On November 26, 2024, the City Council (Council) adopted an Ordinance to establish a new parking meter zone for Downtown Burbank (Ordinance) where drivers pay to park at street parking spaces along San Fernando Boulevard between Magnolia Boulevard and Angeleno Avenue, as well as the side streets on either side of San Fernando between First Street and Third Street. The hourly parking fee is set to ensure that drivers always have at least one or two parking spaces available on each block at any time, making it easier for visitors to find a parking spot. Council also approved a new fee to park at curb spaces in the parking meter zone, which can be adjusted by staff, within broad limits, a few times a year to ensure that drivers always have one or two spaces available to park.

The current parking fee is $2.00 per hour and is required between 8:00 AM and midnight each day.

The City offers a valet parking permit program that allows private valet operators to reserve on- street parking spaces to collect and deliver cars from patrons of adjacent businesses. The permit requires valet operators to identify the spaces to be used, provide a valet operation map, locate appropriate off-street parking to store customer cars, and provide appropriate insurance to cover unexpected events. The City charges a one-time

COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT
186
2 permit fee to process the application and allows the valet operator to use the public curb spaces for free. Permanent valets are charged a nominal annual fee.

Approval of the Ordinance included a Valet Parking Meter fee that would apply to valet operators who wish to use any on-street curb spaces within the parking meter zone. This is because in a parking meter zone, valet operators are using public spaces that the general public pay to use through the parking meter fee. The Valet Parking Meter fee is the same as the public fee of $2.00 per hour . The valet operator is charged the hourly parking rate for each space it uses, for the duration of their valet operations. For instance, if the public is paying $2.00 per hour to park their vehicle and a valet operator establishes a two-space valet zone for six hours per evening, it would pay $24 per day to use the paid spaces. These spaces are reserved for the valet operator’s exclusive use for the valet operator hours using signage.

During the November 19, 2024, City Council meeting introducing the Ordinance , the restaurant owner at 269 E Palm Avenue submitted a public comment expressing that valet operators in the Downtown parking meter zone should not be required to pay for parking fees. This business owner has operated a four-space valet zone, operating seven hours per day Tuesday through Thursday and 14 hours per day Friday through Sunday since October 2024. In response to the public comment, Council approved the parking meter zone and the valet parking meter fee but directed staff to come up with options for crediting or discounting the fee.

In March 2025, staff implemented the parking meter zone for Downtown Burbank, but it delayed charging the Valet Parking Meter fee to the entire parking meter zone while responding to Council’s request. This staff report provides information and options for addressing valet operators’ use of on- street paid parking spaces in Downtown Burbank .

Staff has informed the current valet operator about the upcoming discussion and Council meeting date.

DISCUSSION
There are currently two permanent valet operations in the City, with one located in the Downtown Burbank parking meter zone (at 269 E Palm Avenue) and the other located at 3500 W Olive Avenue, which is not in a parking meter zone. To address the issue of accommodating valet operators in a parking meter zone where the City charges a fee to the public to use parking spaces, s taff has identified three options for Council consideration:

Option A – Implement Valet Parking Meter Fee as Approved in November 2024 Option A would implement the fee as approved by Council when the parking meter zone was established. Valet operators would continue to be allowed to exclusively utilize curb parking spaces for valet collection and delivery to customers but would pay a fee equal to the hourly rate charged to the public, multiplied by the number of spaces used for the valet zone and the number of hours the zone is in operation.

187
3 Example 1 shown below shows how much the quarterly fee would be for a business that would like to use two parking spaces in the evenings for a valet zone:

Example 1. Valet Parking Meter Fee Calculation

Curbside Valet Spaces Requested: 2
Hourly paid parking charge: $2.00
Valet Hours of Operation per day: 6 (6PM-12AM Thurs. thru Sun.) Number of Days per Quarter in Operation: 52
Quarterly Valet Curb Spaces Fee $1,248

Staff found that nearby cities charge similar fees. Table 1 shows the fees Glendale, Los Angeles, and Pasadena charge businesses seeking to provide valet services in a parking meter zone. None of these neighboring cities offer a credit or discount to businesses, although Glendale caps the rate at $3.00 per hour, and Los Angeles charges the average of the actual hourly revenue collected at parking spaces in the applicable zone.

Table 1. Neighboring Cities’ Parking Fees and Credits
City Parking Meter Cover Fee Credit Offered
Burbank 100% per hour per parking space None.

Glendale 100% per hour per parking space. None. Hourly fee is capped at $3.00 per
hour.

Los Angeles Hourly charge per parking space,
where hourly charge is the average
hourly fee collected by parking
spaces in the specific neighborhood
or district.

Example:
• Neighbor A: $5 per hour per
parking space
• Neighbor B: $3 per hour per
parking space
• Valet Operator’s Fee: $4 per
hour per parking space
None
Pasadena 100% per hour per parking space None.

Staff recommends Option A, which is to implement and manage the paid parking operations based on the existing policies and fees that were adopted by Council in November 2024, and not to offer the spaces for free (via fee removal or fee credit). The purpose of establishing the parking meter zone for Downtown Burbank is for the Parking Authority to manage parking through price, so that customers 188
4 and visitors to Downtown always have a convenient parking space available, along with ensuring parking turnover and reducing traffic congestion . Parking fees collected are important to offset the costs to manage the paid parking infrastructure as well as reinvest back into Downtown’s parking assets. Reducing or waiving the valet parking fee is contrary to this goal, as it allows some users to receive C ity resources for free while others must pay and reduces resources available to maintain overall parking assets in Downtown. The clear goals and revenue transparency approved by Council helps build trust and support for the City’s parking management operations Downtown and potentially in other neighborhoods.

Option B – Reduce the Valet Parking Meter Fee
Option B would reduce the valet parking meter fee by 50% and allow valet operators using spaces in parking meter zones to use those curb spaces at a reduced price compared to members of the public . When applied to Example 1, the valet operators would pay $1.00 per hour instead of $2.00 per hour for each parking space. Option B creates a discount for businesses but results in lost revenue for the parking meter zone that could otherwise be used for parking management operations and active transportation amenities and improvements in Downtown Burbank. For these reasons, Option B is not recommended.

Option C – Remove Valet Parking Meter Fee and Implement Valet Space Cap Option C would remove the valet parking meter fee from the City’s fee resolution and would allow valet operators using spaces in parking meter zones to use those curb spaces for free. To minimize impacts to the remaining paid parking spaces in Downtown, staff recommends this option include a cap so that no more than 5% of the paid parking spaces may be used for valets, on a first-come-first serve basis.

For Downtown, this cap would be seven spaces. Additionally , staff recommends no valet operations be allowed on San Fernando Boulevard in Downtown. Option C would remove all financial impacts to existing and future valet operators in Downtown, but would result in more significant loss of revenue (compared to Option B) meant to support parking management operations and active transportation amenities. Further, a valet space cap is proposed under Option C because giving away too many parking spaces to valet operators would result in fewer spaces available to the public, thereby potentially raising the price paid by members of the public to park at the remaining spaces (above what they would otherwise pay). This is based on Council’s policy to set curb space fees to ensure that a few spaces are always available. For th ese reasons, Option C is not recommended.

Since the implementation of the parking management program in March 2025, the City has received one public comment about valet parking in Downtown Burbank. The person wrote that the City should not have valet services in Downtown Burbank.

189
5 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This staff report has no potential for resulting in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and as such, falls outside the definition of a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is therefore not subject to CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15378. The staff recommendation would simply implement the fee previously approved in November 2024, and implementing the other options does not affect the overall management of the existing use of parking and roadway network infrastructure.

FISCAL IMPACT
All parking fees are deposited into the Parking Authority Fund 310 to pay for parking management services provided by the Parking Authority . The revenue from the parking meter zone fees in Downtown Burbank are reinvested back into Downtown Burbank to be used to offset the operations, maintenance, active transportation amenities, and management of Downtown Burbank’s public parking lots and structures.

Implementing Option A would have no fiscal impact. Implementing Options B or C will reduce the revenue received by the Parking Authority Fund , depending on the number and hours of public parking spaces reserved for valet operators. The current four-space valet zone operating in Downtown Burbank is costing up to $ 26,208 per year in lost parking revenue. With only about 145 spaces in the Downtown parking meter zone, further reducing revenue from a small parking meter zone is concerning as it may impact the ability for these fees to cover the cost to manage the zone. If the cost to manage the Downtown Burbank parking management operations exceeds revenues, other funding sources like the General Fund would need to subsidize the difference. Further, additional zones could create additional fiscal impact. The parking spaces on Palm Avenue have been shown to be heavily used since the parking management program has been implemented, suggesting that the lost revenue from the existing valet zone is likely similar to this maximum amount.

CONCLUSION
The recent establishment of the parking meter zone in Downtown Burbank is an essential tool to enhance convenience of parking for residents and visitors by making one to two parking spaces available per block at all times . Staff recommends Council implement Option A to continue to apply existing parking fees consistently to the public and businesses who wish to occupy street parking spaces in Downtown Burbank. This is consistent with Council’s Parking Management Principles of dedicating all parking fees towards supporting parking and transportation services and infrastructure in Downtown Burbank.
