These two projects have multiple funding sources, including Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant funds and Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation (Metro) Measure M grant funds. The project plans, speciﬁcations, and estimates (PS&E) prepared by KOA Corporation (KOA) are available for review in the City Engineer’s Oﬃce. The estimated project construction cost for these projects is $13,400,000. Staff is now requesting City Council to approve the PS&E as completed and to make the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) ﬁnding that these projects are categorically exempt and authorize staff to record this action with the Los Angeles County Clerk and with the State Clearing House.

II. RECOMMENDATION
TAKE the following actions:

1. APPROVE the Plans, Speciﬁcations & Estimate for Project No. 1451 & Project No. 1452 and authorize staff to advertise the projects for construction bid.

2. MAKE the California Environmental Quality Act ﬁnding that the proposed Project Nos. 1451 and 1452 for City- wide Bike Lane Installation are categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines.

3. AUTHORIZE staff to record the “Notice of Exemption” in the oﬃce of the Los Angeles County Clerk for Project Nos. 1451 and 1452: City-wide Bike Lane Installation (Exhibits No. 2 & 3).

III. ALTERNATIVES
701 East Carson Street

1. DO NOT APPROVE the above recommendations. However, staff will not be able to proceed with the construction of the projects.

2. TAKE another action the City Council deems appropriate consistent with the requirements of the law.

IV. BACKGROUND
When Project Nos. 1451 and 1452 were initially planned, they were each for bike lane installation on separate subsets of arterials within the City of Carson and separate HSIP grants were anticipated to cover the majority of the project costs. The project scopes were primarily for signing and striping of the bike lanes. Project No. 1451 included Figueroa Street within City limits, Main Street within City limits, Victoria Street bounded by City limits on the East and Avalon Boulevard on the West, and Carson Street bounded by City limits on the East and the I-405 on the West. Project No. 1452 included University Drive bounded by Avalon Boulevard on the West and Wilmington Avenue on the East, Avalon Boulevard bounded by Victoria Street on the North and City limits on the South, Central Avenue bounded by City limits on the North and Del Amo Boulevard on the South, Del Amo Boulevard within City limits, and 223rd Street bounded by City limits on the West and Lucerne Street on the East.

In 2021, Staff was given direction to modify the design plans to remove the use of shared lane markings (“sharrows”) as much as possible, resulting in the need to narrow medians in various street segments across the two projects. The median modiﬁcation greatly increased the estimated cost of the two projects and Staff sought additional HSIP grant funding from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Caltrans was unable to grant additional HSIP funds for the project. However, a total of an additional $10,641,100.00 in Measure M grant funding was secured from Metro for the two projects.

Federal HSIP grants are part of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Federal-aid program and have received delegated authority by California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to administer the program in most cases.

As such, agencies are required to follow strict procedures and approvals as outlined in the Local Assistance Procedure Manual (LAPM) to be eligible for reimbursement. Given that the projects are partially funded by the Federal HSIP grant, the procurement requirements restrict the use of Project Labor Agreement (PLA) practices on parts of the project reimbursed through Caltrans. Metro has a different set of requirements for reimbursement but does not require agencies to follow the LAPM and would not prevent the City from using its typical PLA practices.

Since the Federal HSIP grant funds have different requirements than the Metro grant funds, Staff had to strategize how the projects could be delivered, satisfying both sets of grant conditions.

Staff would be incorporating proposed bike lane striping on arterial roadways that coincide with roadway resurfacing projects in the CIP, so that lane striping which includes bike lanes can immediately follow the resurfacing. This prevents re-striping recently repaved arterial streets twice in a short period of time. Caltrans proposed to convert funding for this bike lane striping from the Federal HSIP program to a separate state funded source. This will avoid the requirement for each CIP project to adhere to Federal-aid requirements. The City is in the process of determining the ﬁnal funding amount for this program.

Staff had a series of meetings with Caltrans and Metro staff to discuss these proposals and developed the following plan for project delivery:

Project 1451 will now include re-striping arterial segments to include bike lanes, not including median modiﬁcation or bike lanes on roadway resurfacing projects identiﬁed in Carson's CIP within the next 3 years.

This project will be eligible for reimbursement up to $1,567,800.00 through Caltrans. The subject locations are shown in Exhibit 1.

Project 1452 will now include all necessary median modiﬁcations for all locations that will have new bike lanes installed. This scope will be eligible for reimbursement up to $10,641,100.00 in Metro funds, and will be subject to city's PLA practices. This most expensive and complex part of the project will not be subject to Federal requirements of the LAPM, and the associated extra costs. The subject locations are shown in Exhibit 1 as well.

All locations and work that were included in the former project descriptions for Project 1451 and Project 1452 are included in the project delivery plan described above.

Based on California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, the proposed project is categorically exempt according to Section 15301 of CEQA. The following sections apply to the City-wide Bike Lane Projects:

Section 15301(c): Existing highways and streets, sidewalks, gutters, bicycle and pedestrian trails, and similar facilities (this includes road grading for the purpose of public safety).

Section 15301(d): Restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged structures, facilities, or mechanical equipment to meet current standards of public health and safety, unless it is determined that the damage was substantial and resulted from an environmental hazard such as an earthquake, landslide, or ﬂood.

The period of performance to complete the Projects is twelve (12) months from the issuance of the Purchase Order. However, staff will seek completion of the Projects ahead of this time-frame if it can do so without sacriﬁcing quality of the deliverables.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
No additional funding is being requested as part of this staff report. Staff is merely asking for approval of PS&E and to ﬁle CEQA categorical exemptions and authorization to submit Notice of Exemptions accordingly. The preliminary estimated construction cost for Project No. 1451 and Project No. 1452 is $13,400,000. The ﬁnal project cost will be determined when bids are received. These projects will be funded by state grant funds through Caltrans, Metro Measure M grant funds in a amount up to $10,641,100.00 and Development Impact Fees using accounts 282-80-820-904-8019 and 289-80-820-904-8019 respectively.

2. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 24-102, “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

CITY OF CARSON ACTING IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE LEGISLATIVE BODY OF THE CITY OF CARSON COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 2018-01 (MAINTENANCE AND SERVICES) APPROVING ANNEXATION NO. 18 (KB HOMES, FORMERLY CAMBRIA COURT) FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 427 E. 220TH STREET WITHIN THE FUTURE ANNEXATION AREA (CITY COUNCIL)”, AND

3. RECEIVE and FILE the Unanimous Approval Consent Letter from KB Home Greater Los Angeles Inc.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action deemed appropriate by the City Council.

IV. BACKGROUND
Project Description
701 East Carson Street
The Project on the subject Property included the demolition and removal of 15 detached single-family homes thatthe former owner had assembled for the past several years. All parcels combined measure approximately 3.08acres. The development consists of 35, two story, detached condominium units with three and four-bedroom ﬂoorplans that will measure approximately 1,844 square feet to 2,138 square feet.

The development also includes two-car garages for all residential units, 35 guest parking spaces, open space andan internal private road. This development will not be gated. The common open space includes a playground witha shade structure, ﬁreplace with seating, turf game court, a built-in BBQ/sink and counter for small social eventsand group gatherings, and a dog run area.

The discretionary permits for the project were approved by the Planning Commission on February 11, 2020. TheCity Council subsequently approved the zone change, mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring andreport program on March 17, 2020. CFD Annexation Discussion When the City formed CFD No. 2018-01, certain properties including 427 E. 220th Street, Carson CA (APN: 7335-006-026, 7335-006-032, 7335-006-033, 7335-006-038, 7335-007-014, 7335-007-016, 7335-007-017, 7335-007-029,7335-007-030) were identiﬁed on the boundary map as being within the Future Voluntary Annexation Area. Pursuant to the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982, Section 53311, et seq. of the California GovernmentCode (the “Act”), this prior hearing allowed the Property to be annexed only by unanimous consent and approval ofaffected landowners of the Properties at the time parcel(s) are annexed, without holding a second public hearingand election of property owners.

On October 10, 2024, the owner of the Property, KB Home Greater Los Angeles, signed executed the UnanimousApproval Consent Letter (Exhibit No. B to Resolution No. 24-102) with the City in favor of for annexation into theCFD No. 2018-01. The signed Unanimous Consent Letter signed executed by the Property Owner conﬁrms andspeciﬁcally warrants that Property Owner is voluntarily consenting and agreeing to annexation of the Property intothe CFD as a voluntary act.

This City Council action would allow the Property to annex into the CFD No. 2018-01 to pay for ongoing servicesassociated with the development. These ongoing services include all City services permitted by the CFD, includingthe maintenance of parks, roadways, and sidewalks. Should Council adopt Resolution No. 24-102 (Exhibit No. 1),the City Clerk, or designee, would be directed to record the Amendment No. 18 to Notice of Special Tax Lien(Exhibit No. 2) with the Los Angeles County Recorder’s Oﬃce to effectuate the levying of special taxes on theproperty.

The Property will be taxed in accordance with Tax Zone No. 20 of the Rate and Method of Apportionment for CFDNo. 2018-01, which amounts to $43,154.30 ($1,232.98 per unit) annually. The amount is consistent with thecalculation methodology used to determine the “Residential – All Others” rate from the city-wide Fiscal ImpactAnalysis report prepared by the City’s CFD Consultant, NBS Government Finance Group.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
Annexation of the Property into CFD No. 2018-01 will increase the City’s revenues by approximately $1,232.98 perunit per year which amounts to $43,154.30 annually for the total project. The cost for the annexation waspreviously paid by the former developer/owner pursuant to the City’s Deposit System (Development ApplicationProcess). As a result, there is no immediate impact to the City’s General Fund.

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 5:00 PM
DISCUSSION 27. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: William Jefferson, Director of Finance FIN Business License Revenue Subject: CONSIDER INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING, BY TITLE ONLY, OF ORDINANCE NO. 24-2413, "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDINGSECTION 6340 (LIMITED EXEMPTIONS) OF PART 2 (LICENSES – PROVISIONS GOVERNING) OF CHAPTER3 (BUSINESS, PROFESSIONS AND TRADES) OF ARTICLE VI (TAXES AND LICENSES) OF THE CARSONMUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A VETERAN’S LICENSE EXEMPTION CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW" (CITYCOUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
The City Council is being requested to approve Ordinance No. 24-2413 which will amend the City's existingregulations to allow an exemption from payment of business license fees for certain veterans meetingcertain requirements, in compliance with State law.

II. RECOMMENDATION
WAIVE further reading and Introduce for ﬁrst reading, by title only, Ordinance No. 24-2413, entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 6340 (LIMITED EXEMPTIONS) OF PART 2 (LICENSES-PROVISIONS GOVERNING) OF CHAPTER 3 (BUSINESS,

PROFESSIONS AND TRADE) OF ARTICLE VI (TAXES AND LICENSES) OF THE CARSON MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A VETERAN'S LICENSE EXEMPTION CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW" III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE another action deemed appropriate by City Council and consistent with applicable laws.

IV. BACKGROUND
The City's business licensing regulations outlined in Section 6300 et seq. of the Carson Municipal Code offers certain exemptions for veterans regarding business license fees. However, these regulations do not fully align with the detailed provisions in Section 16001.8 of the Business and Professions Code, which applies to all cities, including charter cities. The City Council is being asked to approve an ordinance that would exempt all honorably discharged veterans who reside in California from paying business license fees. This exemption would apply when the veteran operates a business as a sole proprietor selling or providing services.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
701 East Carson Street
There is no ﬁscal impact associated with the adoption of this Ordinance. However, to the extent veterans meeting the requirements of the Ordinance apply for a business license and otherwise meet City’s licensing requirements, fees will be not be charged to those businesses including both initially and for renewals.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 6340 (LIMITED EXEMPTIONS)
OF PART 2 (LICENSES – PROVISIONS GOVERNING) OF CHAPTER 3 (BUSINESS, PROFESSIONS AND TRADES ) OF ARTICLE VI (TAXES

AND LICENSES) OF THE CARSON MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A
VETERAN’S LICENSE EXEMPTION CONSISTENT WITH STATE LAW

WHEREAS, the City of Carson (“City”) is a charter city; and WHEREAS, while the City’s business licensing regulations set forth in Section 6300 et seq. of the Carson Municipal Code provide certain exemptions for payment of business license fees for veterans, the regulations do not include a specific carveout detailed in Section 16001.8 of the Business and Professions Code which expressly applies to all cities, including charter cities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council now sees fit to adopt this Ordinance for the purpose of expressly exempting from payment of license fees, all veterans who are honorably discharged or honorably relieved from the Armed Forces of the United States and are residents of the State of California when the veteran’s business sell s or provid es services and the veteran is the sole proprietor of the business.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON , CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The forgoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference as findings of fact.

SECTION 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, §§ 15000 et seq.), and any applicable local CEQA policies and procedures, adoption of this Ordinance is not a “project” for purposes of CEQA, as that term is defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, because the Ordinance merely contemplates a government funding mechanism or other government fiscal activity, which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in potentially significant physical impact on the environment, pursuant to Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), or alternatively, it constitutes an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment pursuant to Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).

SECTION 3. Section 6340 (Limited Exemptions) of Part 2 (Licenses – Provisions Governing) of Chapter 3 (Business, Professions and Trades) of Article VI (Taxes and Licenses) of the Carson Municipal Code is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Report to Honorable Mayor and City Council
Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 5:00 PM
DISCUSSION 28. To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Saied Naaseh, Director of Community Development CD Planning Subject: A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTING INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 24-2414UIMPLEMENTING A MORATORIUM ON ACCEPTANCE, PROCESSING AND CONSIDERATION OFAPPLICATIONS AND APPROVAL AND ISSUANCE OF PERMITS AND ENTITLEMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL ORINDUSTRIAL REDEVELOPMENT AND SUBSEQUENT USE OF CURRENT OIL REFINERY SITES WITHIN THECITY OF CARSON FOLLOWING CESSATION OF REFINERY OPERATIONS, AND DECLARING THE URGENCYTHEREOF (CITY COUNCIL) I. SUMMARY
There are multiple oil or petroleum reﬁneries and related or supporting facilities or uses located in the City that are currently in operation, including but not limited to: (i) the Phillips 66 crude oil processing plant located on approximately 227 acres of land at 1520 E. Sepulveda Blvd. in the City of Carson, which serves as the front end of Phillips 66’ Los Angeles Reﬁnery and is connected via pipelines with a back-end reﬁnery facility located ﬁve miles away in the Wilmington District of the City of Los Angeles; and (ii) the Tesoro petroleum reﬁnery located on approximately 730 acres of land at 2350 East 223rd Street and/or 1801 E. Sepulveda Blvd. in the City of Carson (Marathon Reﬁnery), which is integrated with the Tesoro Los Angeles Reﬁnery – Wilmington Operations located at 2101 East Paciﬁc Coast Highway in the Wilmington District of the City of Los Angeles to collectively comprise the Tesoro Los Angeles Reﬁnery. The current oil or petroleum reﬁneries and oil or petroleum reﬁnery-related or supporting facilities or uses in the City of Carson are located in and throughout (but not necessarily on each and every parcel in), the area of the City that is south of 223rd St. and east of Wilmington Ave. The properties on which these facilities or uses are located are collectively referred to herein as the “Reﬁnery Sites,” and individually as a “Reﬁnery Site”). The listed approximate acreage ﬁgures are from references contained in the City’s General Plan Community Character and Design Element, and the listed street addresses are from information found via online google searches. Additional information and studies are needed for the City to ascertain the precise boundaries and acreage of the Reﬁnery Sites with certainty.

From time to time, oil reﬁneries cease operations, as evidenced by the closure of the former Shell oil reﬁnery located on Assessor’s Parcel No. 7318-018-008 abutting Del Amo Blvd. and Wilmington Ave. in the City, which ceased operations in 1992 (the “Shell Property”). More recently, on October 16, 2024, Phillips 66 publicly announced that it will cease operations at its Los Angeles Reﬁnery in the fourth quarter of 2025. 701 East Carson Street
City is considering or studying, or intends to study within a reasonable time, General Plan, speciﬁc plan and/or zoning proposals to adopt new or amended land use and zoning regulations that would be applicable to redevelopment and subsequent use of the Reﬁnery Sites following cessation of oil or petroleum reﬁnery- related or supporting operations or uses (“Reﬁnery Operations”), to ensure the protection of public peace, health, safety, and welfare, environmental quality, and environmental justice in connection with any such redevelopment. City staff requires time to study and develop appropriate regulations for redevelopment and subsequent use of the Reﬁnery Sites following cessation of Reﬁnery Operations, consistent with State and federal law.

Staff is recommending the City Council to adopt an Urgency Ordinance to temporarily prohibit acceptance and processing of applications for and issuance of permits (including but not limited to demolition, grading and building permits, site plan and design review permits/approvals, development and site plan review permits/approvals, zoning compliance review permits/approvals, and major and minor conditional use permits), variances, subdivisions and other entitlements for use, associated with any proposed commercial or industrial redevelopment or subsequent use of Reﬁnery Sites, as well as any construction activities that may occur pursuant to any such commercial or industrial redevelopment applications or permits, following cessation of Reﬁnery Operations. The urgency ﬁndings are included in Section 3 of the Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 24-2414U, Exhibit A.

Government Code 65858 and Charter Sections 313(F) and 316(4) expressly authorize the City Council to adopt an urgency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety and to prohibit a use that is in conﬂict with a contemplated general plan, speciﬁc plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time.

The moratorium is immediately necessary to preserve the public peace, health, safety, and welfare, and should be adopted immediately as an urgency ordinance, to make certain that commercial and industrial redevelopment and subsequent use of the Reﬁnery Sites following cessation of Reﬁnery Operations is prohibited for the effective period of this Ordinance. Imposition of a moratorium will allow the City suﬃcient time to study and prepare to enact comprehensive General Plan and zoning actions and regulations applicable to redevelopment and subsequent use of Reﬁnery Sites.

Adoption of this urgency ordinance requires the 4/5th vote of the entire City Council II. RECOMMENDATION
WAIVE further reading and ADOPT an Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 24-2414U, “AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, TO ESTABLISH A TEMPORARY 45-DAY MORATORIUM

ON ACCEPTANCE, PROCESSING AND CONSIDERATION OF APPLICATIONS AND APPROVAL AND ISSUANCE OF PERMITS AND ENTITLEMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL OR INDUSTRIAL REDEVELOPMENT AND

SUBSEQUENT USE OF CURRENT OIL REFINERY SITES WITHIN THE CITY OF CARSON FOLLOWING CESSATION OF REFINERY OPERATIONS, AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF,” to ensure the public health, safety, and welfare is protected for 45-day period, by 4/5ths vote.

III. ALTERNATIVES
TAKE such other action as the City Council deems appropriate consistent with the requirements of law.

IV. BACKGROUND
The City most recently updated its General Plan in April of 2023 by adopting the Carson 2040 General Plan.

The General Plan land use classiﬁcation for the Reﬁnery Sites is generally Heavy Industrial, although certain limited areas are classiﬁed as Light Industrial. The zoning designation for the Reﬁnery Sites pursuant to the Carson Zoning Ordinance is Manufacturing-Heavy. The Manufacturing-Heavy zoning designation permits a wide range of industrial and commercial uses by-right, consistent with the Heavy Industrial General Plan land use classiﬁcation, and to a lesser extent the Light Industrial General Plan land use classiﬁcation. Residential uses are prohibited on the Reﬁnery Sites pursuant to the General Plan Heavy Industrial and Light Industrial land use classiﬁcations and the Manufacturing-Heavy zoning designation, and therefore are not the subject of this Ordinance. The General Plan accounts for potential redevelopment of the Shell Property by, among other things, providing that it is required to have a cohesive master plan or speciﬁc plan to outline long-term growth of the site and ensure compatibility with surrounding properties. However, the General Plan does not similarly account for the potential of redevelopment of the Reﬁnery Sites.

The City is currently studying a potential amendment to the General Plan to better ensure the protection of public health, safety and welfare in connection with the prospect of redevelopment of the Reﬁnery Sites for a new use, including the possibility of requiring a cohesive speciﬁc plan or master plan to guide any redevelopment of the Reﬁnery Sites, similar to what is currently provided for the Shell Property. The City is also studying or considering, or intends to consider within a reasonable time, related Zoning Ordinance/Zoning Code text and/or Zoning Map amendments including potential rezoning of the Reﬁnery Sites consistent with the General Plan as part of the City’s anticipated comprehensive Phase 2 Zoning Code Update, or separately therefrom.

Impacts of Oil Reﬁneries
Oil reﬁneries can signiﬁcantly impact the environment, particularly through the contamination of soil and groundwater. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identiﬁes several ways these facilities can lead to pollution:

Spills and Leaks: Accidental spills of crude oil or reﬁned products can occur during transportation, storage, or processing, leading to immediate contamination.

Wastewater Discharge: Reﬁneries generate wastewater containing harmful chemicals. If not properly treated, this water can seep into the ground or be released into surface water, affecting nearby ecosystems.

Air Emissions: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hazardous pollutants can settle on soil and water, contributing to contamination.

Groundwater Inﬁltration: Contaminants can migrate from surface spills or leaks into the groundwater, posing risks to drinking water supplies.

General Plan Consistency
A. LUR-G-12: Promote adaptive reuse and environmental remediation of brownﬁeld sites.

Currently, two large reﬁneries operate within City of Carson. On October16, 2024, Phillips 66 announced the planned closure of the reﬁnery by end of 2025. The proposed moratorium will further this goal/policy of the General Plan as
It will allow City staff time to draft policies and complete environmental studies consistent with CEQA to better ensure the protection of public health, safety and welfare in connection with the prospect of redevelopment of the Reﬁneries for a new use, including but not limited remediation of the site and determining the best use of the property.

B. LUR-G-13: Ensure adequate buffers and transitions between industrial and residential land use as sites are developed or redeveloped.

The proposed moratorium will grant additional time for City staff to draft policies to ensure adequate buffers and transitions are provided between the site and surrounding areas, including existing or proposed residential areas that maybe in the travel path of future development of this site.

C. LUR-G-14: Ensure that future industrial development is in harmony to the extent possible with adjacent residential areas.

The proposed moratorium will grant additional time for City staff to draft policies to ensure that future industrial development is in harmony to the extent possible with adjacent existing and proposed residential areas including those areas that maybe in the travel path of the future development of this site.

D. UR-P-24: Establish performance and development standards to allow a wide range of uses as long as those uses will not adversely impact adjacent uses.

The proposed moratorium will grant additional time for City staff to draft policies to ensure that a wide range of uses are allowed on the site to not only avoid adverse impacts to the community but to complement the nearby uses.

E. LUR-P-29: Undertake planned development and speciﬁc plans for unique projects as a means to achieve high community standards, address neighborhood or signiﬁcant site-speciﬁc issues, ensure compatibility between a number of uses, on large parcels, and when needed as part of a redevelopment or environmental remediation strategy.

The proposed moratorium will grant additional time for City staff to draft policies including but not limited to Speciﬁc Plans and implementation of mitigation measure from the appropriate CEQA document to ensure high community standards, address neighborhood or signiﬁcant site-speciﬁc issues, ensure compatibility between a number of uses (both internal to the site and external), on large parcels, and when needed as part of a redevelopment or environmental remediation strategy.

F. CHE-G-1: Seek to improve Citywide health outcomes and reduce disparities between census tracts by focusing on prevention and interventions, and by addressing the root causes of health disparities and equities in Carson.

The proposed moratorium will grant additional time for City staff to draft policies and study long term health impacts to the community though appropriate environmental studies. The general Plan has identiﬁed on the reﬁneries as Toxic Release Sites and the communities around them suffer from a variety of illnesses including but not limited to asthma, coronary heart disease, lower life expectancy at birth and with the reﬁnery sites with the heaviest Toxicity-Weighted Concentrations and high Diesel Particulate Matters (both on and off-road sources).

G. CHE-G-2: Reduce air pollution and the incidence of respiratory illness through the land use planning process.

The proposed moratorium will grant additional time for City staff to draft policies and study the environmental impacts of future development of these sites to address air quality and associated respiratory illnesses. The reﬁnery sites and areas surrounding them have been identiﬁed as SB535 Disadvantaged Communities meaning that the communities are most vulnerable and burdened by pollution.

H. CHE-G-4: Protect community health from pollution by toxic and hazardous materials, especially in areas with vulnerable or sensitive populations.

CEQA
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, this Ordinance does not constitute a CEQA “project”, because: (i) the whole of the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, which are required parts of the deﬁnition of “project” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a), and because the action constitutes administrative or maintenance activities of the City, such as general policy and procured making, which are excluded from the deﬁnition of project under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a). There is no redevelopment proposal related to the Reﬁnery Sites currently on ﬁle or otherwise before the City for review or consideration, and this action merely ensures the City will have suﬃcient time to study and consider the general plan or zoning proposals referenced above without being obligated to approve any application that may be received in the interim, to ensure that if and when an application for redevelopment of the Reﬁnery Sites for a new use following cessation of Reﬁnery operations is ﬁled with the City, the City will have the appropriate authority to ensure the protection of public health, safety, welfare and the environment in connection with its review and processing of and decision upon such application(s).

In the event this Ordinance does constitute a CEQA “project,” it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), because the action does not have the potential for causing a signiﬁcant effect on the environment. “Signiﬁcant effect on the environment” is deﬁned in CEQA Guidelines Section 15382 as “a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, ﬂora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic signiﬁcance.” (emphasis added). It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance may have a signiﬁcant effect on the environment, because any potential change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the Ordinance would be favorable, not adverse, on the environment, in that the contemplated general plan and zoning proposals that the City is studying, by requiring approval of a cohesive speciﬁc plan or master plan for any new use of the Reﬁnery Sites and rezoning Reﬁnery Sites consistent with the General Plan thereby conferring greater discretion on the City to mitigate potential environmental impacts of such new uses, could only increase, and not in any way decrease, the potential that a proposed redevelopment of the Reﬁnery Sites would constitute a discretionary project, within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21080(a), with respect to approval by the City, and that the City would therefore have authority to conduct environmental review of such project pursuant to CEQA and thereby take measures protect and improve the environment in connection with redevelopment of the Reﬁnery Sites, whereas absent such regulations, the City may not have such authority over a proposed new by-right heavy industrial use or development of the Reﬁnery Sites, and therefore without this ordinance could be obligated to approved such a new use or development without conducting CEQA review.

V. FISCAL IMPACT
None.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. INCORPORATION OF RECITALS.

The foregoing recitals above are true and correct, and are incorporated herein by this reference as findings of fact.

SECTION 2. CEQA.

Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, this Ordinance does not constitute a CEQA “project”, because: (i) the whole of the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeabl e indirect physical change in the environment, which are required parts of the definition of “project” under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a), and because the action constitutes administrative or maintenance activities of the City, such as general policy and procured making, which are excluded from the definition of project under CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a). There is no redevelopment proposal related to the Refinery Sites currently on file or otherwise before the City for review or consideration, and this action merely ensures the City will have sufficient time to study and consider the general plan or zoning proposals referenced above without being obligated to approve any application that may be received in the interim, to ensure that if and when an application for redevelopment of the Refinery Sites for a new use following cessation of Refinery Operations is filed with the City, the City will have the appropriate authority to ensure the protection of public health, safety, welfare and the environment in connection with its review and processing of and decision upon such application(s).

In the event this Ordinance does constitute a CEQA “project,” it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), because the action does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. “Significant effect on the environment” is defined in CEQA Guidelines Section 15382 as “a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance.” (emphasis added). I t can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, because any potential change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the Ordinance would be favorable, not adverse, on the environment, in that the contemplated general plan and zoning proposals that the City is studying, by requiring approval of a cohesive specific plan or master plan for any new use of the Refinery Sites and rezoning Refinery Sites consistent with the General Plan thereby conferring greater discretion on the City to mitigate potential environmental impacts of such new uses, could only increase, and not in any way decrease, the potential that a proposed redevelopment of the Refinery Sites would constitute a discretionary project , within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21080(a), with respect to approval by the City, and that the City would therefore have authority to conduct environmental review of such project pursuant to CEQA and thereby take measures protect and improve the environment in connection with redevelopment of the Refinery Sites, whereas absent such regulations, the City may not have such authority over a proposed new by-right heavy industrial use or development of the Refinery Sites, and therefore without this ordinance could be obligated to approved such a new use or development without conducting CEQA review.

SECTION 3. URGENCY FINDINGS.
01007.0001/1027651.4 ORDINANCE NO. 24-2414U The City Council hereby finds and declares this Ordinance as an urgency measure necessary for the immediate preservation and protection of the public peace, health, safety and welfare. The facts constituting the urgency, in addition to the findings set forth above, are:

A. There is a current and immediate threat to public peace, safety, health, and welfare posed by the prospect of submittal to the City of an application for commercial or industrial redevelopment or subsequent use of the Refinery Sites following cessation of Refinery Operations under the City’s current General Plan and zoning regulations, as further detailed below. In the event of such an application, absent this Ordinance and new or amended land use and zoning regulations resulting from the General Plan and zoning proposals being studied, the approval of subdivisions, variances, demolition, grading and building permits, use permits, site plan and design/development and site plan and zoning complian ce review permits/approvals, or any other applicable entitlement for use which is required for the City to comply with its Zoning Ordinance would result in that threat to public peace, health, safety and welfare.

B. The current Manufacturing -Heavy zoning designation applicable to the Refinery Sites permits a wide range of industrial and commercial uses by -right, consistent with the General Plan land use classification of Heavy Industrial, and to a lesser extent the General Plan land use classification of Light Industrial in the limited area where it applies south of 223rd St. and east of Wilmington Ave., and there is no requirement (unlike for the Shell Property) of a cohesive master or specific plan to outline long -term growth of the site and ensure compatibility with surrounding properties . Accordingly, in the event of an application for redevelopment of a Refinery Site for such a by -right use following cessation of Refinery Operations, the City may not have the discretion necessary to ensure the protection of public health, safety and welfare, including but not limited to environmental justice and compatibility with surrounding properties, in connection with the new proposed use or development of the Refinery S ites fo llowing cessation of Refinery Operations. For example, there are residential communities located immediately to the west and north of the Refinery Sites, and under the current regulations, the City would not have sufficient discretion and authority to ensure compatibility of the future use of the Refinery Sites with these residential communities and to ensure the future development and use of the Refinery Sites does not create adverse effects upon their public peace, health, safety and welfare.

C. Similarly, absent new or amended City General Plan and/or zoning regulations, the City may not have authority to conduct CEQA review of a project for redevelopment or subsequent use of a Refinery Site following cessation of Refinery Operations, as detailed in Section 2 above. As a result, such redevelopment could result in unknown and unmitigated significant adverse environmental effects, including but not limited to risks to the health and safety of the individuals who occupy the site s of the future developments and that of the residents of the surrounding communities. It is well-known that oil refineries utilize many industrial processes and toxic materials, and have the potential to severely contaminate the property on which they are located , including potential soil and groundwater contamination from refinery wastewater or other discharges and spills that may occur from or at the refinery. The Refinery Sites have generally been operated as oil refineries for many years – according to the California Energy Commission’s webpage (https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy- almanac/californias-petroleum-market/californias-oil-refineries/california-oil), the Tesoro Los Angeles Refinery began its operations (in Wilmington and/or Carson) in 1938 and the Phillips 66 Los Angeles Refinery began its operations (in Wilmington and/or Carson) in 1917, and therefore many of the Refinery Sites are likely contaminated, although environmental testing would be needed prior to approval of any redevelopment in order to determine the extent of any contamination and the necessary remedial or mitigation actions or measures or other necessary restrictions to ensure the redevelopment and subsequent use is safe for the workers and occupants of the sites and those in the surrounding areas . 01007.0001/1027651.4 ORDINANCE NO. 24-2414U Ensuring the City has authority to conduct CEQA review over redevelopment projects and subsequent uses for the Refinery Sites will help ensure that any potential significant environmental impacts of any such proposed redevelopment are adequately studied, understood, made public, and mitigated to the extent feasible (unless a statement of overriding considerations is adopted or the project is exempt from CEQA) in accordance with CEQA prior to approval of any such redevelopment.

D. Redevelopment and subsequent use following cessation of Refinery Operations also implicates potential environmental justice issues. As stated in the General Plan Environmental Justice element, the census tracts located within the City to the west and north of the Refinery Sites (as well as the Refinery Sites themselves, although unpopulated) are designated as SB 535 “Disadvantaged Communities,” defined as an area identified by CalEPA or a low -income area that is disproportionately affected by environmental pollution and other hazards that can lead to negative health effects, exposure or environmental degradation. These areas are majority-minority, low-income, and carry heavy pollution burdens. The areas to the south and east of the Refinery Sites are located within the City of Los Angeles.

The General Plan and zoning proposals that are being studied and considered, or that the City intends to consider within a reasonable time, will help address the potential environmental justice issues associated with redevelopment of the Refinery Sites and ensure the protection of environmental justice consistent with the General Plan and applicable law.

E. In the absence of modified local General Plan and/or zoning regulations applicable to the Refinery Sites that account for the real prospect of redevelopment of same for a new use as discussed above, the risk of adverse impacts to public peace, health, safety, and welfare, environmental justice, and environmental quality resulting from such redevelopment and new use of the Refinery Sites could be realized suddenly and dramatically in the event a by -right application is filed , particularly given the publicly-announced impending closure of the Phillips 66 Los Angeles Refinery and the possibility of an application being submitted prior to actual cessation of Refinery operations. Processing and acting upon an application for a permit, subdivision, variance, or any other applicable entitlement for use for commercial or industrial redevelopment or subsequent use of the Refinery Sites under the City’s current regulations could result in a severe negative impact upon the public peace, health, safety, and welfare in the City.

F. The City is considering and studying, or intends to consider and study within a reasonable time of adoption of this Ordinance, General Plan and zoning proposals applicable to the redevelopment and subsequent use of the Refinery Sites in order to protect and preserve the public health, safety and welfare of its residents, businesses and visitors against the risks and negative impacts associated with same, as discussed above.

G. The City’s City Council and staff need time to study, develop, revise and complete the contemplated General Plan and zoning proposals before they can be adopted and implemented. Among other things, as noted above, additional information and studies are needed for the City to ascertain the precise boundaries and acreage of the Refineries with certainty; such information will help guide the City’s preparation, consideration and action upon the contemplated General Plan and zoning proposals, including by enabling the City to have a better understanding of the potential impacts of a redevelopment or new use of such large oil refinery properties, which aside from the City’s experience with the Shell Property, is unprecedented in the City’s history.

H. This Ordinance is being adopted in order to allow the City time to thoroughly study, develop, revise, and adopt General Plan and zoning regulations related to potential redevelopment and 01007.0001/1027651.4 ORDINANCE NO. 24-2414U subsequent of the Refinery Sites following cessation of Refinery Operations, to enable the City to adequately and appropriately protect and preserve the health, safety and welfare of the communities and residents of the City.

I. The commencement of new commercial or industrial uses or associated development and construction activities o n the Refinery Sites, and the consideration and processing of applications for approvals, permits and entitlements to engage in such new uses or development, may be in conflict with the contemplated General Plan and zoning proposals described above, and therefore there is a need to prohibit such activities temporarily to allow the City sufficient time to complete the necessary studies and take the necessary actions to protect the public health, safety and welfare as it relates to redevelopment and subsequent use of the Refinery Sites following cessation of Refinery Operations.

J. As a result of the current and immediate threat that potential commercial or industrial redevelopment of the Refinery Sites poses to the public health, safety and welfare, it is necessary to adopt a temporary, forty-five (45) day moratorium on such redevelopment and subsequent use in the City, as detailed in Section 5 below.

K. The moratorium is immediately necessary to preserve the public peace, health, safety, and welfare , and should be adopted immediately as an urgency ordinance, to make certain that commercial and industrial redevelopment and subsequent use of the Refinery Sites following cessation of Refinery Operations is prohibited for the effective period of this Ordinance. Imposition of a moratorium will allow the City sufficient time to study and prepare to enact comprehensive General Plan and zoning actions and regulations applicable to redevelopment and subsequent use of the Refinery Sites.

SECTION 4. AUTHORITY AND EFFECT
A. Government Code Section 65858 expressly authorizes the City, in order to protect public safety, health, and welfare, to adopt an Urgency Ordinance prohibiting a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission, or the planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, provided that the urgency measure shall require a four -fifths vote of the legislative body for adoption, and shall be of no further force and effect 45 days from its date of adoption, unless duly extended for an additional 10 months and 15 days.

B. Section 313(F) of the City’s Charter provides that any urgency ordinance declared by the City Council as an urgency measure necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health or safety, and containing a statement of its urgency, may be int roduced and adopted at one and the same meeting if passed by a two -thirds affirmative vote of the City Council. Section 316(4) -(5) of the City’s Charter provides that an urgency ordinance adopted in the manner provided for in Section 313(F) of the Charter, and any other such ordinance authorized by state law, shall take effect immediately upon adoption.

SECTION 5. MORATORIUM
Subject to the Ex emption in Section 6 below, during the effective period of this O rdinance, no application for any permit (including but not limited to applications for demolition, grading and building permits, site plan and design review permits/approvals, development and site plan review permits/approvals, zoning compliance review permits/approvals, and major and minor conditional use permits), variance, subdivision, or other entitlement for use will be accepted or processed, no 01007.0001/1027651.4 ORDINANCE NO. 24-2414U consideration of any application for any permit (including but not limited to demolition, grading and building permits, site plan and design review permits/approvals, development and site plan review permits/approvals, zoning compliance review permits/approvals, and major and minor conditional use permits), variance, subdivision, or entitlement for use will be made, and no permit (including but not limited to demolition, grading and building permits, site plan and design review permits/approvals, development and site plan review permits/approvals, zoning compliance review permits/approvals, and major and minor conditional use permits ), variance, subdivision , or other entitlement for use will be approved or issued by the City for any new commercial or industrial use, development or construction on any of the Refinery Sites or any portion thereof, and any such new use , development or construction activity is prohibited. The determination as to the precise boundaries of the Refinery Sites within the scope of this Ordinance shall be made by the Community Development Director or designee in his or her sole discretion (including on a case-by-case basis if necessary pending a comprehensive determination) , subject to the provisions of this Ordinance.

SECTION 6. EXEMPTION
This Ordinance does not apply to applications, permits, approvals, variances, subdivisions, entitlements for use, uses, or construction activities on the Refinery Sites that relate to continuing Refinery Operations.

SECTION 7. STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT
During the effective period of this Ordinance, the City shall study and consider proposed or potential General Plan, specific plan and/or zoning regulations related to commercial and residential development and subsequent use of the Refinery Sites following cessation of Refinery Operations that will enable the City to adequately and appropriately protect the public peace, health, safety, and welfare, as well as environmental justice and environmental quality in connection with any such redevelopment or subsequent use that may be proposed.
