Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Development Agreement - Barton Road Logistics Center
January 18, 2022
BACKGROUND
On December 14, 2021, following a public scoping meeting, publ ic workshop, Planning Commission site tour and four public hearings, the Colton Planning Commission , by a 4:3 vote, approved the following entitlements for the Barton Road Logistics Center:
Architectural and Site Plan Review to allow the construction of tw o new warehouse buildings, totaling 960,040 square feet (building one = 540,920 sq. ft., bldg. two = 419,920 sq. ft.);
Conditional Use Permit for truck and trailer storage where trailers and/or trucks wou ld be stored on -site in designated parking spaces, f or 24 -hour operation, and for warehouse buildings of 50 feet in height; and
Tentative Parcel Map No. 20146 to consolidate multiple legal lots (12) into two separate legal parcels, one north and one south of Barton Road, located within the Light Industrial (M-1) Zone.
The project site consists of the f ormer Stater Bros warehouse complex that encompasses approximately 43.85 acres on both sides of Barton Road between La Cadena Drive on the west, and the SCE transmission line corridor on the east. Since Stat er Bros moved from the property, the buildings have been leased to other tenants who will vacate their respective buildings. The project will result in a net increase of 300,605 square feet of building area due to the planned demolition of 659,439 square feet of the existing buildings.
During the entitlement process, staff and the applicant negotiated the terms of a Development Agreement in in accordance with California Government Code Section 65864 and Colton Municipal Code Section 18.58.102. The Agreeme nt is intended to benefit the City of Colton by committing the applicant to certain public benefits, and the applicant by vesting the project entitlements and impact fees for a period of 25 years.
Following consideration of the draft Development Agreemen t at a public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. R-29-21, recommending approval of the Development Agreement by the City Council.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
During deliberations on the Development Agreement, the Planning commission requested one additional public benefit, to which the applicant agreed:
a. Funding a truck turning movement study to determine whether two semi -trucks (tractor plus 53 -foot trailer) can pass safely on the Barton Road bridge over the BNSF Railroad tracks, to the satisfact ion of the City’s traffic engineer. If the study determines that two semi-trucks cannot safely pass each other, the applicant will fund a study to determine the feasibility of restricting truck turning movements to eastbound Barton Road only.
Other public benefits included in the Agreement, already negotiated between the City and the applicant, are as follows:
1.1 Packet Pg. 8
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Development Agreement - Barton Road Logistics Center
January 18, 2022
b. A capital contribution of $10 million toward the design, application processing and construction of a westbound Barton Road bridge and associated roadway improvements over the BNSF Railroad right-of-way, connecting to S. La Cadena Drive (see Exhibit 3); c. Four public access electric vehicle charging stalls (two associated with the project site and two at locations of the City’s choosing); and,
d. Rooftop solar system on both new buildings.
Staff, the applicant and the Planning Commission are in concurrence that the Development Agreement, as revised with the addition of “a.” above, is in the interest of the City as it provides for public benefits that would not otherwise be provided, with our without the project.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Approval of the Development Agreement will ensure that the City is granted a capital contribution of $10 million toward the design and construction of a westbound Barton Road bridge. However, the timing and ultimate cost of the bridge is unknown at this time. Therefore, it is possible that construction costs may exceed the $10 million contribution.
Additional, minor costs will be incurred annually due to staff time spent on mon itoring the Development Agreement, including preparation of annual reports for the City Council as required by State law.
ALTERNATIVES
Provide alternative direction to staff.

To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted the “Development Agreement Statute,” Sections 65864 et seq., of the California Government Code. The Development Agreement Statute authorizes the City to enter into development agreements with persons or entities having legal or equ itable interests in real property to establish predictability for both City and the property owner in the development process.

The Property is located west of Interstate 215 (I-215) and east of La Cadena Drive and is accessed via Barton Road , as shown on Exhibit “B”. The Property is the former location of Stater Bros. Markets headquarters and warehousing/ distribution campus and consists of six industrial buildings and one office building situated on 13 legal lots.
E. Owner proposes to redevelop 43.85 acres of the Property through the demolition of four industrial buildings an d an office building comprising 659,432 square feet and the construction of two state -of-the-art concrete tilt -up industrial warehouse buildings totaling 960,040 square feet (collectively, the “Project”).

7. DEFAULTS AND PERIODIC REVIEW.
7.1 Periodic Review / Due Process Considerations. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65865.1 (“GC 65865.1”) and Colton Municipal Code Section 18.58.102 -Q2, at least once during every twelve (12) month period of the Term, City shall review the good faith compliance of Owner with the terms of this Agreement (“Periodic Review”).
Because of Owner’s commitment to provide the Public Benefits to the City before
1.1.c
Packet Pg. 31
Attachment: Exhibit A to O-03-22_Development Agreement - Barton Road Logistics Center_DAP-001-602 (3464 : Development Agreement - 23152.06300\34322216.1
14 completion of the Project, Owner would not have entered into this Agreement and made its commitment to provide th e Public Benefits without assurances that Owner’s Vested Right could not be terminated or modified without a fair and equitable review process and general principles of fairness and due process.
Therefore, the Parties agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of GC 65865.1 and Colton Municipal Code Section 18.58.102-V:
a. Any determination by the City that Owner is in default, whether during the Periodic Review or otherwise, shall be based on the preponderance of evidence before the City.
b. In any legal action by Owner challenging the City's determination of default, the court shall conduct a de novo review of Owner's compliance based on the administrative record and determine if the preponderance of evidence supports the City's determination.
7.2 Modifications for Owner’s Noncompliance. The terms of GC 65865.1 and Colton Municipal Code Section 18.58.102-T2 allow a local agency to terminate or modify a development agreement if a periodic review of compliance with the terms of the development agreement demonstrates noncompliance by the applicant/developer.
The City’s right to do so is stated in permissive, rather than mandatory, terms: “the local agency may terminate or modify the agreement.” Therefore, as material consideration for entering into this Agreement, the Parties have agreed that, in the event of a finding of noncompliance, the City shall not modify the terms of this Agreement unless the modification has been agreed to by Owner, as provided in Government Code Section 65868.
7.3 Termination for Owner’s Noncomplia nce. Only a “Major Default” by Owner may establish cause for the City to terminate this Agreement. A “Major Default” is limited to the material and substantial failure by Owner to meet Owner’s obligations to provide the Public Benefits contemplated by this Agreement after notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure an alleged Major Default. a. Notice and Cure. Before the City may declare a Major Default or a termination of this Agreement or bring a legal action to terminate this Agreement, the City shall provide written notice to Owner setting forth the nature of the Major Default and the actions, if any, required by Owner to cure the Major Default.
Owner shall be deemed in Major Default if Owner fails to cure the Major Default within thirty (30) business day s after the date of such notice (for monetary defaults) or within sixty (60) business days after the date of such notice (for non-monetary defaults) (“Cure Periods”). If the nature of the alleged Major Default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured wit hin the applicable Cure Period, Owner shall not be deemed to be in Major Default if it has commenced efforts to cure the Major Default within the applicable Cure Period and continues to diligently pursue completion of the cure.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: JANUARY 18, 2022
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: BILL SMITH, CITY MANAGER
PREPARED BY: MARK TOMICH, DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDER RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE WAREHOUSE
MORATORIUM AD-HOC COMMITTEE AND PROVIDE DIRECTION
TO STAFF.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Approve and direct staff to implement all or selected recommendations of the Warehouse Moratorium Ad-Hoc Committee in Attachment 1.
BACKGROUND
Due to the recent and rapid expansion of industrial developments within the City and neighboring communities, particularly the development and expansion of warehouses, Colton residents and businesses have experienced various adverse impacts related to these industrial developments, including incompatibility with adjacent uses, increased truck traffic, damage to local streets, and deteriorating air quality and environmental health. In particular, the City Council has determined that the placement of these war ehouses, distribution centers, and logistics facilities, including related uses such as truck storage facilities within the City are a current and immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare. In response to these concerns, the City Council adop ted Urgency Ordinance O -03-21 on May 4, 2021, establishing a 45 -day moratorium on warehouses and truck storage facilities. A “10-day report” with a draft work plan was approved on June 1, 2021, and on June 15, 2021, the Urgency Ordinance was extended to May 3, 2022 (Ordinance O-05-21).
The Urgency Ordinance prohibits the approval of any uses, facilities, or improvements that may conflict with a contemplated zoning proposal that the City Council, Planning Commission, or the Development Serv ices Departmen t (“Planning D epartment”) is considering or studying or 2 Packet Pg. 63
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Warehouse Moratorium - Ad-Hoc Committee Recommendations January 18, 2022
intends to study within this timeframe. Staff has been using this timeframe to work with the City’s “Warehouse Moratorium Ad -Hoc Committee” to formulate recommendations to address the adverse impacts that led to adoption of the Urgency Ordinance.
The Ad-Hoc Committee members, as appointed by the City Council and Planning Commission, consist of the following members:
Council Member, Ernest Cisneros
Council Member, Isaac Suchil
Planning Commissioner Vice Chair, Gary Grossich (District 4) Planning Commissioner, Angel Delgado (District 3)
The Ad -Hoc Committee held three meetings at which staff presented research data and recommendations and the Committee members provided comments and direction to staf f:
August 23, 2021, September 29, 2021 and November 22, 2021. In addition, staff has conducted the following outreach meetings with community members and industry stakeholders:
Industry Stakeholders Meeting: August 19, 2021
Community Stakeholders Meeting #1: October 21, 2021
Community Stakeholders Meeting #2: November 3, 2021
Summaries of the three meetings are attached to this report (Attachments 1-4).
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The Ad-Hoc Committee has recommended a series of specific Zoning Code and Buildi ng Code amendments, policy initiatives and focused studies for consideration by the City Council, at large. The Committee’s recommendations are provided below, and on Attachment 1 to this report, along with staff comments.
1. Zoning Text Amendments
The recommended amendments are summarized as follows (see Attachment 1 for specific list of amendments).
Add definitions for “Distribution/Fulfillment Center” and “Small Warehouse.” Reduce size of warehouses permitted in the Industrial Park (IP) zone. Require Cond itional Use Permit (CUP) for warehouse/distribution, and truck & trailer storage within industrial zones where they are currently permitted outright. Limit hours of operation within 800 feet of a Residential zone. Buildings shall be placed 1,000 feet from the property lines of a sensitive receptor. Add new and revised Property Development Standards, including architectural design, stormwater and parking requirements, building placement, landscape and security standards for warehouse/distribution and truck & trailer storage facilities. 2 Packet Pg. 64
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Warehouse Moratorium - Ad-Hoc Committee Recommendations January 18, 2022
Add Operational Standards for warehousing and distribution facilities. Require preparation of a Health Risk Assessment for facilities generating 150 or more truck trips per day.
Add Air Quality standards to Zoning Code to min imize exposure of sensitive receptors to diesel emissions.
Comment: Specific text amendment language has not been formulated at this time. Should the City Council direct staff to pursue each of the above recommendations, the text amendments will be adde d to the Development Services/Planning Division’s work program, including any necessary budget augments for environmental documentation.
2. Building Code Amendments
Adopt “Reach Codes” for nonresidential industrial buildings.
Comment: Reach Codes are amendments to the Energy and Green Building Standards Codes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A Reach Codes ordinance would expand requirements for electrification and energy efficiency for new construction projects. This amendment can be conducted concurrent with the 2022 Building Code update, scheduled for late 2022.
3. Review the City’s current Truck Route Plan (adopted in 2016), and modify as necessary to ensure the safety of Colton residents.
Comment: This study of truck routes and revisions, as needed, would be conducted by Public Works/Engineering Division. Due to consultant costs that would be incurred to conduct the study, a budget augment may be required.
4. Hire (or reassign) a Code Compliance Officer to Development Services to assist with enforcement of non-conforming businesses.
Comment: Code Compliance Officers currently provide enforcement services for residential, commercial and industrial properties. Focusing the duties of one Officer on non -conforming businesses is feasible, includi ng zoning enforcement, business occupancy permits, business licenses, conditions of approval and CEQA mitigation monitoring. However, based on input from the Police Department, assigning one Officer solely to business enforcement activities would necessit ate hiring of an additional Code Officer. Rather than divide reporting relationships and department functions, staff recommends that the all Code Compliance Officers remain with the Police Department, but continuing to closely coordinate with Business Lic ense, Building & Safety, and Planning.
5. For all Development Agreement and/or Public Benefit Agreement negotiations, the City should contract with a consultant to conduct negotiations on behalf of the City and ensure maximum public benefits.
2 Packet Pg. 65
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Warehouse Moratorium - Ad-Hoc Committee Recommendations January 18, 2022
Comment: The City has entered into one Development Agreement within that past 14 years (for the Iron Horse Hills project). However, the City has recently negotiated a Development Agreement for the Barton Road Logistics Center, and is in the process of negotiating a Development Agreement for the proposed IDI Logistics "Agua Mansa Logistics Center.” In order to ascertain whether contract negotiators are commonly used to provide support for such negotiations, staff has solicited input via the CA Cities “HCED List Serve ” and with the City Attorney. It is somewhat uncommon for cities to use outside consultants for direct Development Agreement negotiations; such services are usually associated with market/fiscal impact analyses, or purchase and sales agreements. However, we have learned that the following cities have used a consultant (i.e., Kosmont Companies) to provide support for Development Agreement negotiations: Jurupa Valley, Laguna Hills, Moreno Valley, Victorville, Laguna Hills, South Gate, San Fernando and Buell ton. Cautionary advice was received from one jurisdiction to ensure that the objectives for the negotiations are very clear and to ensure that there is no conflict of interest from the consultant (“the longer negotiations dragged out, the more their firm was able to bill”). If the City Council finds such services to be warranted, Development Services will solicit consultant services to support negotiations as the need arises.
6. Amend Community Facilities Districts to modify fee assessment factors for truck storage/parking facilities (in lieu of the current square footage basis for assessment).
Comment: The City Council adopted Community Facilities Districts in July 2021 for the purposes of providing public safety services and maintenance of public faciliti es. Fee calculation methodologies can be modified with appropriate consultant services.
FISCAL IMPACTS
Adoption of any or all of the Ad -Hoc Committee’s recommendations will not result in an immediate fiscal impact to the City. However, the following actions will each have General Fund budgetary implications, the amount of which is unknown at this time:
Environmental services for CEQA compliance associated with Zoning Code text amendments;
Consultant services to prepare Truck Route Study;
Consultant support for Development Agreement negotiations; Consultant services for modification of Community Facilities Districts; and Ongoing cost to hire an additional Code Compliance Officer to focus on business enforcement.
ALTERNATIVES
Provide alternative direction to staff.

Section Summary Discussion
Definitions
Section 18.04
Add definition of “Distribution/Fulfillment
Center” and add other clarifying definitions as
needed.
Due to different truck trip generation rates and roadway impacts from e-commerce facilities, a separate definition is recommended in order to analyze and mitigate the unique impacts of these types of facilities.
Uses Permitted
Section
18.06.060(G)
Allow Warehouse & Distribution Fulfillment
Center or with Truck Trailer Storage (third
party or corporate Use in the M-2 Zone only
with Conditional Use Permit).
Allow Truck & Trailer Parking Storage Lots in
the M-2 Zone only with Conditional Use
Permit as currently permitted.
Prohibit warehouse distribution fulfillment
centers and “truck & trailer parking storage
lots” in the I-P and M-1 zones.
Allow general warehouse in the I-P, M-1 &
M-2 Zones with a CUP (includes parking of
trailers).
Requiring a CUP for warehousing in the IP, M-1 and M-2
zones (currently Permitted) will allow staff and the Planning Commission to provide appropriate discretionary review
and apply conditions of approval.
Due to the closer proximity of M-1 zoned land to residential zones, the likelihood of incompatible land uses is highly likely. This change will impact very few undeveloped M-1 sites (staff has identified only one vacant M-1 site).
However, expansion of identified warehouse/truck storage uses on M-1 properties will be limited (of which there are 27 developed sites).
Staff has identified different industrial warehouse &
manufacturing types with truck and trailer impacts:
1. Industrial Park
2. Warehouse Distribution Fulfillment Center
3. Truck and Trailer Parking Lots
4. Warehouse General

OTHER MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENTS
SECTION SUMMARY DISCUSION
Adopt Reach
Codes for
nonresidential
industrial/manuf.
buildings
Reach Codes are amendments to the Energy and
Green Building Standards Codes to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Adopting Reach
Codes create opportunities for local governments to
lead initiatives on climate change solutions, clean air, and renewable energy. A Reach Codes ordinance
would expand requirements for electrification and
energy efficiency for all new construction projects.
Legislation in California legislation encourages
jurisdictions to adopt Reach Codes to facilitate
improvement in a jurisdiction’s and regional air quality.
Colton may look at adopting Reach Codes for
Industrial/Manufacturing buildings.
California Health and Safety Code allows Cities to adopt amendments, modifications, and changes and additions

Attachment: Attachment 3- Stakeholders Meeting 1- 10-21-21 (3465 : Warehouse Moratorium - Ad-Hoc Committee Recommendations) Summary of October 21, 2021 – Public Stakeholders Meeting
The following Summary of Meeting are notes taken by staff:
Jason B. (LIUNA): Logistics industry provides good jobs and builds experience for workers. Building relationships and prepare for the future. Non-discriminatory. Provides supplemental income for elderly people. Encourages support for logistic jobs as they add value to a community. Joanna M. (Colton resident): Opposes warehouse projects. The lower paid job opportunities are not attractive. Has noticed heavier traffic due to the expansion of warehouses in region. Impacts on residents take years to accumulate.
Bill Q. (LIUNA): Moratoriums are job killers. Air quality issues have already been addressed by AQMD – new rule. CARB also has new efficiency/emission standards for trucks. Celeste C. (Colton resident): Our infrastructure wasn’t developed to handle more warehouses.
Concerned about the level of truck traffic; we’re in a highly polluted area. My kids, my health are on the line. Traffic is heavy on side streets, too.
Joanna M. (Colton Resident): Members of the community want to be involved and informed during each step of process.
Ralph V. (LIUNA): City needs the revenue from warehouse developments to fix roads & sidewalks.
New projects help clean up the area. Warehouses are part of the community and give back to the community.
Gabby M. (Community Organizer for CCAEJ): Roads are getting worse from warehouse truck use.
Tax revenue from warehouses don’t seem to be sufficient revenue source for cities. Alternative “green” type of industries should be sought instead of warehouse uses. Warehouse uses are not known to care for their employees with low paying jobs and little to no insurance. Sensitive receptors should be considered in siting warehouse, distribution and trucking uses in Colton. Regionally, the City of San Bernardino’s airport and industrial projects continue to add to poor air quality in the region, create noise issues and are generally not environmental friendly uses. Thomas R. (LIUNA): Warehouse industry/jobs have been politicized and shown in a negative manner.
LIUNA are also concerned with air quality. Cities should ask for more public benefits to mitigate the impacts such as Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) and Public Benefit Agreements. There is a current labor shortage – the warehouse industry has apprenticeship programs. Mentioned how the City of Chino addressed their concerns by working in partnership with warehouse uses. Yassi K. (Sierra Club) – senior campaign representative: Moratorium is a slowdown – not a job killer. Colton has the highest Ozone levels in the Country. We’re trying to build solutions; we’re not against industry. The Sierra Club is also concerned and interested in the status of the High Speed Rail Project at the former “Slover Mountain” area.
Emily V. (Colton resident): Has asthma – warehouse development is a life or death issue. We need to all figure out solutions that work for Colton. Everybody is being affected – need to collaborate. The City needs to be transparent.
Rick L. (LIUNA): There are a lot of things the City can do to address impacts (e.g., electric trucks, charging stations, etc.) that work for everybody. Stopping building won’t halt the logistics industry – it will still grow regionally.
Emily V. (Colton resident): Why are we allowing more warehouses and not building education centers for the drug addicted and under-educated (such as vocational training for teens graduating from high school)? Asked about getting information on where the Covid-19 funding has been allocated in Colton.
Noted that San Bernardino International Airport doesn’t transport people; it only serves cargo, such as Amazon.
Ana G. (CCAEJ): Reference Jurupa Valley which requires a community benefit agreement/development agreements for all new warehouse projects. We (her organization?) are doing the leg work at the state level but change happens at the city level. Also raised noise and light pollution concerns and a Loma Linda Study about cancer clusters in the Inland Empire and its connection to Environmental Racism occurring in communities.

Good Afternoon Mario,
We wanted to be sure to provide you with our remining list of suggestions for solutions and mitigations to the polluting impacts that Colton residents and the overall community is subjected to on a daily basis. We also wanted to again mention we appreciate the time you took to meet with us last week.
These are just the suggestions that are within your realm of work, as you made it abundantly clear that you were not interested in entertaining ideas outside of that. We will be sure to reach out to the Environmental Conservation Supervisor Jessica Sutorus, and if you could provide the email address for the Economic Development Manager Arthur W.
Morgan it would be greatly appreciated (I could not locate it on the City of Colton website).
-Extension of the moratorium: We understand that the City and our elected officials do not plan to make this moratorium a permanent action (even if it would be in our best interest to do so). We believe that residents and community should be informed of the report results (all reports being ran during the moratorium), it would be ideal if the results were shared in meetings such as the one we had with you last week and that they would take place in every district at different times of the day. If this were to take place it would mean that time would be needed, and the extension of the moratorium would allow for this to happen. We believe this plan would be best as our residents and community deserve to be informed on how the warehousing and trucking industries impact us, as well as the solutions and mitigations the city is taking to protect our health.
-Electric vehicles & electric equipment within the warehouses: Refrigeration Trucking Companies/Distributors/Manufacturers should be required to have electric vehicles.
These types of transportation vehicles are constantly running , and since most of these vehicles are not electric they are releasing toxic pollutants into the air we all breathe.
Making sure that these types of businesses are using the TRU Gensets for their trucking businesses, as well as having all electric equipment within warehouses would be in the best interest of us all.

Attachment: Attachment 4- Stakeholders Meeting 2 -11-3-21 (3465 : Warehouse Moratorium - Ad-Hoc Committee Recommendations) 2 Also, in the meeting we did bring up Community Benefit Agreements but we did not go into more of the ideas we would like to be included in these agreements. The items listed were provided by community members and residents. They wanted to be sure their ideas were also addressed in the meeting.
-Warehouses need to provide IQAIR Hyper HEPA air filtration systems and filters to the community, including schools, residences, and local businesses. -Water purification systems.
-Better sidewalks
-Fix potholes in streets
-Make streets safe for walking/biking
-Trucks only allowed in neighborhoods during certain hours of the day -City becoming zero emissions
-Taxing warehouses
-Sustainable jobs being created, sustainable green jobs would be best. -Affordable housing being offered
-Guarantees that these companies are giving hiring priority to Colton residents, that the jobs being created are paying living wage, benefits are included, and that the jobs are long term.
-WE NEED MORE GREEN SPACES. Safe spaces for community to visit.
*If any suggestions do not have relevance to you as Colton City Planning Manager, please direct us to the appropriate party.
Lastly, we were wondering if you, your associates, City council members, Planning Commission members, as well as the Economic Development Manager, and Environmental Conservation Supervisor would be interested in joining an informative virtual meeting where our team and a couple professors from Pitzer college would provide data that they collected in their research/projects/tests they have conducted not only in Colton but also throughout the Inland Empire. This would be purely to educate you all on how the decisions you all are making for the city/community are affecting us with irrefutable facts. If our public servants are interested, we would be happy to facilitate the meeting.
Kind Regards,
Amy Vasquez

PREPARED BY: MARK TOMICH, DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: APPROVE ENDOWMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH
THE RIVERS & LANDS CONSERVANCY.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Approve Endowment Management Agreement by and between the City of Colton and the Rivers & Lands Conservancy
BACKGROUND
On February 2, 2015, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Servic e (“Service”) issued an Incidental Take Permit for the Delhi Sands Flower -loving Fly pursuant to the provisions of the West Valley Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The HCP was adopted by the City Council the following day.
The HCP includes several implem entation provisions, including provisions for monitoring and management of habitat conservation areas. Section 5.5.3 of the HCP states that “ the City will enter into an agreement with the Riverside Land Conservancy (RLC) or other Service approved land man agement entity within 1 year of issuance of the Incidental Take Permit, for the maintenance, management and restoration of the new conservation areas… ” Staff was in direct negotiations with the Riverside Land Conservancy (since renamed to “Rivers and Land s Conservancy” – RLC) since early 2013 to establish a conservation easement over the conserved land, establish phasing for the granting and acceptance of easements, and identify funding obligations. On July 16, 2013, the City Council approved an agreement with the RLC to evaluate the proposed habitat parcels to quantify the costs and endowment necessary to provide for management and other stewardship costs in perpetuity. This agreement was followed by approval of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on May 5, 2015 between the City and 5 Packet Pg. 169

RLC. The MOU commits the City to certain financial obligations associated with the phased granting and acceptance of the Conservation Easement on specified properties.
Endowment payments to the RLC are specified in the MOU be tween the City and RLC, and occur in coordination with the conveyance of easements for specified properties . The MOU specifies the payment of $245,443.10 in “Initial & Capital Costs” and $453,956.00 endowment payments, plus CPI. To date, $190,257.55 Init ial & Capital Costs and $402,654.24 Endowment have been paid to the RLC. The final remaining conveyance payment will be $121,659.15, plus aggregated CPI at the time the payment.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The HCP, MOU and Conservation Easement do not contain specific language regarding how the endowment funds will be managed and invested, only that the funds are to “fulfill the obligations of the conservation easement in perpetuity.” A separate agreement between the City and the RLC which specifies endowment fund management responsibilities is in the interest of both the City and RLC.
The proposed Endowment Management Agreement includes the following major provisions:
Specify how the RLC will invest the endowment proceeds to the benefit of the conserved Fly habitat;
Annual reporting procedures, including auditing of the endowment funds; and Limitations on liability for both parties.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
An Environmental Assessment (“EA”) was prepared in accordance with the Service’ guidelines for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (“NEPA”) and was published in the Federal Register on July 3, 2014 for a period of 60 days. The EA was reviewed, studied, and found by staff to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). Purs uant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15221, the City therefore published a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Negative Declaration on August 5, 2014 and circulated the EA for a 30 -day public comment period. The Negative Declaration was adopted by the City Council on F ebruary 3, 2015, concurrent with City approval of the HCP, pursuant to Sections 15070, 15074 and 15221 of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This action falls within the scope of the previously adopted Negative Declaration.
FISCAL IMPACTS
The Agreement defines the terms by which the RLC will manage the endowment funds. No additional funding obligations are being placed on the City by this Agreement, other than existing obligations as specified in the MOU between the City and RLC.

SUBJECT: APPROVE AND ADOPT RESOLUTION R-08-22 AND APPROVE
THE EXTENSION OF LAND LEASE AGREEMENTS AT THE
DREWS AND CENTURY SUBSTATIONS, RESOLUTION R-08-22.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Approve the short term extension to the lease agreement s between the City of Colton and Colton Power L.P. (C/O Alli ance Energy LLC) through June 30, 2 022, exempted from a competitive bidding process in accordance with Colton Municipal Code §3.08.140(J).
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the contract documents in accordance to Colton Municipal Code §3.08.160
BACKGROUND
In December of 2000, the City Council approved a Le ase Agreement between the City and Alliance Colton, LLC for the rental of surp lus infrastructure at the City’s Drews and Century Substations to place four units of ~10 M Ws each on both Colton Owned sites (~40 MW at each site). The original term commencement date was January 31, 2001 expiring on January 31, 2016 with the ability to extend/renew.
Section 3.2 of both agreements provide:
“Provided Lessee is not in material default under any of the terms of this Agreement, Lessee may request renewal of this Agreement on the terms and conditions herein 7 Packet Pg. 186
Staff Report to the Mayor and City Council
Lease Agreement Extension - Alliance Energy
January 18, 2022
contained for 2 additional terms (“ Renewal Term”) of 5 year periods upon written notice of City of Lessee’s intent to do so at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Term or any Renewal Term. Provided Lessee is not in material default under any of the terms of th is Agreement, City shall grant the request for renewal within 90 days of receipt of Lessee’s written notice requesting renewal. If the City does not respond to the written notice, the additional terms requested shall be deemed to be approved. The terms and conditions for each Renewal Term shall be the same terms and conditions of this Agreement, except that the consideration payable for the Renewal Terms shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.6 herein.”
City Council granted a five-year extension in 2015 to renew the terms of the original agreement from January 31, 2016 through January 31, 2021. An official renewal has not been processed or approved to extend the agreement beyond January 31st, 2021, but the original facilities remain on Colton lands at each substation and Colton Power L.P. (Alliance Power LLC) has continued lease payments (pending end of year 2021 payments) including the originally agreed upon escalation rate to the lease payments and any applicable late payments.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
At this time, the City’s Electric Utility collects at total of $350,580 annually in the current year with a scheduled escalation of 4 % for each subsequent year. These projects present a good revenue stream for the Utility. However, staff is conducti ng additional research to determine if the original starting lease rate is in alignment with the land appreciation value as 4% has been added each year. This information will help determine the appropriate levels of negotiated leasing terms and will be use d in discussions with Colton Power L.P. (Alliance Power LLC) to finalize a longer-term agreement.
Staff is also investigating information on other technology leasing opportunities within this space. However, the current project s are permanently installed on the Utility’s land and would take several months to remove. Additional time is nece ssary to renegotiate the longer -term extension provisions, but also will allow time for additional staff research and analysis to explore other viable leasing alternative s. Furthermore, the site directly connects to each substation and staff is exploring an emergency power or Resource Adequacy that may be available with additional discussion.
FISCAL IMPACTS
The City expects to collect $350,580 in total revenues related to the lease of the two sites for calendar year 2021 and approximately $364,603 in total revenues related to the lease of the two sites for calendar year 2022. These revenues are placed in Colton Electric’s revenues section 520-7898-000 (Lease Revenue). These revenues are expected throughout the extension period and as long as the facilities occupy Utility-owned space.
