CC Regular Meeting

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 4
Meeting: CC Regular Meeting - Dec 20 2022
Title: Request to Cancel the Regular City Council Meeting of January 3, 2023 Presented By: Chris Marcarello, City Manager
Recommendation: That City Council consider canceling the regular scheduled City Council Meeting of January 3, 2023.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / BACKROUND:

Throughout the years, the first Council meeting in January has been canceled due to the holiday closure, whereby all non-safety offices are closed. This year non-safety offices will be closed beginning the afternoon of Thursday, December 22, 2022 and will return to normal operations Tuesday, January 3, 2023.

DISCUSSION:

The City Council has the legal authority to establish meeting dates and times and to cancel or reschedule such meetings with proper and timely public notice. Therefore, staff is recommending that City Council cancel the meeting on January 3, 2023, and direct the City Clerk's Office to post the required notice of cancellation.

Respectfully submitted,

AGENDA ITEM REPORT
ITEM NO. CC 5
Meeting: CC Regular Meeting - Dec 20 2022
Title: Existing Conditions Report for the Covina Active Streets and Multi-Modal Connectivity Plan
Presented By: Brian K. Lee, AICP, Director of Community Development Recommendation: Receive and File.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / BACKROUND:

The Covina Active Streets and Multi-Modal Connectivity Plan (CASMCP), is a planning project that seeks to further regional and local sustainability through an improved active transportation network, transit connections, and transit-oriented development (TOD) supportive planning. The plan will also aim to alleviate safety and environmental trends by establishing priority transportation needs, identifying feasible options to implement complete street first-last mile connections to transit, and facilitating further TODs through opportunity site analysis. The project is funded through Proposition C funds and a grant award issued to the City of Covina by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) - FY 2021-22 Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant Program.

Staff recently received the final Existing Conditions report for the Covina Active Streets and Multi-Modal Connectivity Plan on November 16, 2022. The existing conditions report consists of the below items and can be found in Attachment 1.
• Mobility and First/Last-Mile Needs (Fehr & Peers)
o Transportation Safety
o Transit Conditions
o Pedestrian Environment
o Bicycle Environment
o End of Trip Accommodations & Curbspace Management
• Infrastructure Study (CWE)
• Equity Study (MIG)
• Market Study (Kosmont)
o Market Overview of Covina
o Assessment of Real Estate Conditions
o Nationwide Trends
• Urban Design Study (MIG)
The report was also supplemented by data collected from community outreach and engagement efforts. The Community Outreach and Engagement efforts consisted of the following:
• A Hybrid (in-person/zoom) introduction to the project, led by Consultant Fehr & Peers at the August 23, 2022, Planning Commission Regular Meeting.
• An online survey was made available in English and Spanish and ran from August 26, 2022, to October 14, 2022. Fifty-Eight (58) surveys were completed. The survey was accessible through all efforts except for the August 23, 2022, Planning Commission meeting.
• A pop-up informational booth was held at the Covina Farmers Market on August 26, 2022. • A pop-up booth was held at National Night Out on October 4, 2022. • Email notifications were sent to interested persons that submitted requests for updates. • Various social media posts were uploaded to inform residents of opportunities to participate.

The report's findings will be used in preparing the draft CASMCP document. Other upcoming tasks include conducting ADT counts at 20 locations within the planning area and preparing the second round of outreach efforts. The final CASMCP is expected to be completed by the Winter of 2023. Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file this item so that it may be formally filed and readily available for public view.

Introduction
The Covina Active Streets and
Multimodal Connectivity Plan
(CASMCP) will develop active
transportation recommendations for the
core of the City surrounding downtown.

This existing conditions report lays the
groundwork for understanding the
existing opportunities and needs of
mobility in the study area through the lens
of first/last mile access to transit, equity,
urban design, infrastructure, and market
trends.

As part of this existing conditions process,
technical studies were completed for
each of these disciplines. Key takeaways
from each technical study have been
woven into the body of the report. The
equity, urban design, infrastructure, and
market trends technical studies are
included as an appendix. The first/last mile
and mobility needs study is fully
embedded into the body of this report.

This report is broken into four key sections: • City Mobility Snapshot provides a brief overview of key demographics and travel
patterns throughout the City. • Existing Transportation Facilities presents an overview of existing transit, bike, and
pedestrian facilities provided throughout
the study area. • Pedestrian and Bike Comfort and Safety analyzes speed and collision history in the
study area. • Major Destinations and Accessibility
provides an overview of key points of
interest in the City and their accessibility via
transit and active transportation.

Introduction Study Area
Covina is an active, vibrant city
that caters to its diverse
community through food, culture,
and entertainment.

The hub of the City is it’s
downtown. Restaurants, bars,
businesses, and public space
create an inviting space that
residents gravitate toward.

The downtown and surrounding
areas make up our study area. Page 6 of 141

Introduction Key Takeaways
The existing conditions process helped expose several key areas that could become the focus of the CASMCP recommendations. The following are the key needs and opportunities: • The study area has one “Disadvantaged Community” as defined by SB 350/CalEnviroScreen and two “Sensitive Communities” as defined by UC Berkeley’s Urban Displacement Project. Investments should be prioritized in these two communities to limit the burden of pollution and climate change.

Infrastructure investments should be paired with policy adjustments to minimize displacement following increased investment. • A significant portion of Covina residents live and work in Covina, but still choose to drive to work.

Providing safe, comfortable, and reliable biking and transit options could lead to mode shift for those who have shorter commuting distances. • Crossing infrastructure is typically limited to standard crosswalk striping. There are opportunities to enhance crosswalks through tools such as intersection control, high-visibility signing and striping, and curb extensions. • Existing bicycle facilities are typically limited to Class II bike lanes with some additional features like buffers and green bike boxes at select locations. There are opportunities to enhance both the connectivity and comfort of bike facilities by identifying a low-stress network throughout the study area. Page 7 of 141

Introduction Key Takeaways
• Wide curb-to-curb widths and underutilized space currently dedicated to autos provide an opportunity to rebalance the right-of-way and create more space for dedicated pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. • The City has a tree canopy coverage of about 16%. With the average August temperature in Covina above 90° and rising, there are opportunities to expand the existing tree canopy and shade to provide relief for people walking, biking, and waiting for transit. • The large majority of bicycle and pedestrian injury collisions are occurring at intersections. Providing design treatments focused on improving safety and comfort at intersections could help reduce collision frequency and severity. • Commercial and retail development potential along Citrus Avenue, San Bernardino Road, and Badillo Street and the 12 potential transit-oriented development sites in the study area provide a look-ahead at major destinations and travel patterns in the coming years. The multidisciplinary nature of the CASMCP provides an exciting opportunity to align recommended investments with forecasted growth. Page 8 of 141

Two census tracts in the study area
contain “Sensitive Communities”. A
“Sensitive Community” is defined as having a
large proportion of very low-income
residents, renters, people of color, and rent
increases above the county median.

One census tract is a designated
“Disadvantaged Community”.
“Disadvantaged Communities” are defined
as those disproportionately affected by a
combination of economic, health, and
environmental burdens. These communities
have a CalEnviroScreen score in the 75th
percentile or higher.

and their associated indicators, please see

Covina is an auto-oriented
community, with 75% of
commuters choosing to drive alone.

However, almost 20% of commute
times in Covina are less than 15
minutes. These shorter trips could
present an opportunity for mode
shift if safe, comfortable, and
reliable biking and transit options
were provided.

People may also prefer not to drive
for local trips to schools, parks, or
shopping, but don’t currently feel
they have a viable alternative.

The City of Covina has a 16% tree canopy

The average August temperature in Covina
is 91°. 90° is the threshold for “extreme heat
conditions”, requiring your body to work
extra hard to maintain normal temperatures.

There is a critical opportunity to expand
shade coverage to provide relief for people
walking, biking, and waiting for transit.

Planting new trees would require utility and
maintenance coordination to ensure new
trees don’t conflict with existing utility
locations and can be watered regularly.

Excess roadway capacity along major
arterials can lead to increased speeds
and limited spaces for people to walk
and bike.

Concrete center medians typically
lack green space or placemaking and
increase the impermeable surface of
the roadway, placing an increased
burden on stormwater systems.

Similarly, frontage roads tend to lack
green space and placemaking
amenities.

Right-turn merge lanes and wide curb
radii increase crossing distances for
pedestrians and allow for high speeds
of turning vehicles.

Center medians can be redesigned to
provide natural habitat, placemaking,
and green stormwater infrastructure.

Small, narrow spaces can be
repurposed to provide pedestrian
walking paths, tree canopy, and open
space.

Curb extensions can be added to
shorten pedestrian crossing
distances, slow vehicle turning
movements, and provide green
infrastructure.

Rebalancing the right-of-way can
help create protected facilities and
increased green infrastructure.

63% of bicycle collisions occurred at
intersections.
28% occurred on a street with an existing
dedicated bike facility despite just 5% of
roads having facilities, suggesting that more
robust treatments may be needed.
“Wrong side of road” collisions occur when a
bicyclist is biking contraflow to traffic, either in
the roadway or on the sidewalk. This commonly
occurs when the on-road bicycle facility is
uncomfortable, and bicyclists want to be able
to see the cars ahead of them. Education,
encouragement, and enhanced bike facilities
can help mitigate this behavior.

Comfort & Safety Auto Speeds Weekday Average
Speed is the most significant factor in
determining severity of collisions. As speed
increases, so does the likelihood of a serious
injury or fatality.

As speed increases from 20 miles per hour
(MPH) to 40 MPH, the likelihood of a
pedestrian surviving a crash drops from 90% to
20%.

Speed management will be an important
focus in creating safe and comfortable
pedestrian and bicycle facilities.

Equity Demographics of Survey Respondents
An online survey has been used to hear more from residents about how they travel and move about the downtown
Covina area. The survey is meant to inform the public about the project, but to also get an initial understanding of existing conditions from residents themselves. The following provides a brief summary of the information gathered so far.

Based on 58 completed online surveys:
» Race and ethnicity of survey respondents are a similar proportion to citywide demographics.
» The age composition of survey respondents is similar to that of the city but missing the over 65 age groups.
» A majority of survey respondents are women.

Given the total number of survey responses, the survey may not accurately reflect the city’s population and
demographics because of the small sample size. However, these responses do provide some insight into emerging
trends. See pages 36 and 37 for more details on the survey methodology.

Equity Active Transportation Habits – Downtown Covina
Personal vehicle is the most popular mode used to get
to Downtown. This correlates with the citywide
household access to vehicles.

Walking is the second most popular way for people to
get to Downtown. This follows a higher preference of
people to walk places as compared to bicycle and
transit generally.

Choosing to use a personal automobile is used most
often because of its convenience and availability.

People who choose to walk do so more for enjoyment
and convenience, just above what is affordable and

Equity Indices and Tools that Identify Community Inequities Identifying Community Inequities
This study used three publicly available tools to identify inequities within the study area. Each of these tools examine a variety of factors relating to the social, health, and environmental conditions of communities statewide.

While two of these indices evaluate similar indicators, each one has a different focus.

CalEnviroScreen 4.0 identifies communities most affected by pollution and the population characteristics that make them especially vulnerable to pollution effects. It uses two groups of indicators to produce an overall composite score; pollution burdens and population characteristics.

Produced by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.

Healthy Places Index 3.0 quantifies factors that shape health to compare the health and well-being of communities and identify where health inequities exist. It combines 23 community characteristics into a single indexed score.

Produced by the California Public Health Alliance.

Sensitive Communities identifies communities vulnerable to displacement by analyzing criteria that would make it difficult for a household to afford drastic shifts in housing costs in the event of increased development.

Produced by the UC Berkley’s Urban Displacement Project.

For the purposes of this study, both the similarities and variations in the three indices help identify potentially differing opportunities, challenges, and priorities within different neighborhoods in the study area. For example, one neighborhood might be more concerned about housing issues versus transportation-related burdens.

Equity CalEnviroScreen 4.0 - Pollution Burdens
PM 2.5 and Ozone are the
highest-ranking pollution burdens
throughout the study area.

A majority of the top pollution burdens within
the study area and the disadvantaged
community relates to transportation.

86th percentile traffic impacts
Traffic impacts is a measure of the number of
vehicles on the roads in an area.
85th percentile PM 2.5
Particulate Matter, or PM 2.5, is an air pollutant
that contains a mixture of organic chemicals,
dust, soot, and metals. These particles usually
come from cars, trucks, factories and other
activities.
77th percentile ozone
Ozone is found in smog and at ground level it is
formed when pollutants chemically react in the
presence of sunlight. Cars, factories, farms, are
some main sources of ozone pollution.

Pollution Burdens
CalEnviroScreen pollution

pollution indicators to
represent potential
exposures to pollutants and
adverse environmental

Housing burdened low income households are
households that are both low income and highly
burdened by housings costs. Severe cost burden is
defined as paying more than 50 percent of income
on housing.

Linguistic isolation is a term used by the US Census
Bureau to describe limited English-speaking
households. Members in these households speak a
language other than English and speak English less

The study will not be able to address pollution burdens outside the realm of transportation because the study focus is to create better conditions for alternative means of transportation. Although these areas experience a number of burdens, addressing the ones related to transportation – i.e., improving walking, biking, and transit conditions could relieve pollution burdens related to transportation (e.g. PM 2.5, diesel PM, traffic, and ozone) by encouraging residents to drive less - will contribute to addressing burdens overall.

Equity Emerging Recommendations

1. Active transportation and urban design improvements should prioritize urban greening elements and environmental design. » Pollution conditions are the primary factors for communities and the study area qualifying as disadvantaged or sensitive communities according to several statewide indices.
» Climate change will continue to exacerbate negative environmental conditions: rising temperatures, more prolonged and frequent heat waves, heat island effect, and droughts.

2. Active transportation improvements should consider potential to develop green “filters” along freight and highway corridors to improve air quality.
» Major sources of pollution are related to transportation (Diesel PM, PM 2.5, Ozone) throughout the study area.
» Consider regional and public-private coordination to create improvements to freight and highway network (e.g., fleet electrification, alternative routes, vegetative wall barriers, home filtration systems)

3. Active transportation should prioritize reductions of street space devoted to vehicles on major corridors.
» Majority of pedestrian and bicycle collision occur along major corridors. » These spaces could provide placemaking opportunities to create a more pedestrian oriented environments (e.g., parklets, pedestrian refuge areas, shading)
Census tract 4062 is in close proximity to Interstate 10 and is intersected by major corridors such Rowland Avenue, Hollenbeck Street, and Citrus Avenue.

Equity Emerging Recommendations

4. Active transportation and urban design improvements should begin creating a network of small public spaces and parks. » Study area has multiple large parks with variety of amenities – most of study area is within ¼ mile to these parks. Network of closer, smaller parks and open spaces are lacking.
» Multiple examples of existing spaces that can be designed for small open spaces (e.g., frontage road medians). Summarized in Urban Design Study. » Consider shared-use agreements to allow public use of local school outdoor facilities after school hours.

5. Active transportation and urban design improvements should be prioritized in the two identified sensitive and disadvantaged communities.
» These two communities bear the most burdens related to pollution and/or housing cost of all Census tracts in the study area.
» Tract 4062 is the most impacted by several health, social, and environmental conditions. Tract 4037.21 has relatively healthy neighborhood conditions (park and retail access) but still suffers from housing and pollution-related issues.
» Should also consider policy updates (e.g., targeted rent control) to prevent displacement of existing communities if public realm improvements make neighborhoods more desirable.

Study area lacks network of closer, smaller parks and open spaces. These spaces could be provided through shared-use agreements with local schools.

The online survey was shared with the community using:
• City Social Media Accounts;
• QR codes at pop-up events such as the Farmer’s Market; • QR codes on information kiosks located in Downtown;
• Paper copies available at public facilities and with community partners.

As of October 17, 2022, we’ve received a total of 58 responses to the survey.

The 58 responses gathered are not representative of the entire community. The responses reflect the habits and thoughts of the community members who we have connected with through the methods listed above.

The number of responses for individual questions varies as a result of conditions and questions being optional. Conditions will only show a follow up question to respondents if a certain response was given. Optional questions allow respondents to only answer questions they feel comfortable responding to as well as limit survey fatigue by not requiring input.

Citrus Avenue in downtown. Tree
cover is sparse along industrial
areas and major arterials.

No significant discrepancy in tree
canopy between Downtown and
Disadvantaged/Sensitive
Neighborhoods.

While there appears to be some
street tree canopy, a majority of
street segments are without
shade and areas are still
dominated by concrete.

Left-turn median on Rowland Avenue
should be studied for needed capacity
and opportunity for new multi-modal
space and lane realignments.

Raised center median on Covina
Boulevard provides no shade,
increases burden on stormwater
infrastructure and encourages
speeding.

Frontage road on Covina Boulevard
with concrete median provides no
shade, poor pedestrian paths, and
excess parking and travel capacity.

Right-turn merge lane (Hollenbeck
and San Bernardino) creates poor
intersections for pedestrians with long
crossing distances and unsafe turning.

Center median in Paso Robles provides
natural habitat, placemaking, and
green stormwater infrastructure.

Parkways in Mexico City provide
pedestrian walking path, tree canopy,
and open space in small and narrow
spaces.

Curb extensions shorten pedestrian
crossing distances, slow vehicle
turning movements, and can be
designed for placemaking or green
infrastructure.

Transformation of Rosemead
Boulevard in Temple City created a
protected bicycle lane and green
infrastructure from excess roadway
capacity. Page 83 of 141

Survey Responses Where Do You Live? What is your neighborhood? – Emerging Insights from Survey Respondents

K E Y T A K E - A - WAYS
Responses were spread out within
and outside of the study area. Of
respondents that described
neighborhoods (by name and
their boundaries), there are a
variety of sizes and potentially
overlapping areas north of
Downtown.

While the sample size of the survey respondents
is not large enough to be statistically
representative of the entire community, there are
some insights into how respondents view their
neighborhoods:

Real and perceived neighborhood
boundaries by residents can
provide multiple inputs to urban
design and active transportation:
• Neighborhood edges identify
barriers not easily crossed by
communities
• Identify what amenities and
services are available/lacking
within neighborhoods
• What land uses are important
to organizing neighborhoods
in the Study Area
P u r p o s e
No strong identity of districts or
defined neighborhoods – suggest
opportunity for neighborhood
building.

Survey Responses What are issues for walking and biking? – Emerging Insights from Survey Respondents

K E Y T A K E - A - WAYS
Issues described are mostly
located along major corridors.

Concentrations of issues noted:
• Badillo Street
• San Bernardino Road
• Around Covina Park
• North-South Connections/Crosswalks
There tends to be an overlap of issues regarding
homeless, trash, high vehicle speeds, and unsafe
crossings. Although survey respondents were
spread throughout the Study Area and City,
issues appear concentrated between San
Bernardino and Badillo.

While the survey is only a small sampling, these
issues correlate with data found elsewhere in
this study. This includes bicycle and pedestrian
collisions mostly occurring along major corridors
or in the downtown area. Furthermore, the
comments received describe actual experiences
by respondents that are still of important note.

San Dimas Wash at Barranca Avenue – provides multiple opportunities from small, neighborhood open space for local residents; multi-modal transportation corridors; placemaking opportunities responding to, and promoting, adjacent development; and opportunities to provide a naturalized environment to improve climate resiliency, reduce heat island impacts, reduce grey infrastructure, and improve water quality and water capture.

Urban Design Emerging Recommendations

1. Concentrate active transportation improvements on major corridors to increase placemaking and breakdown barriers. • Many major corridors include frontage roads with concrete medians between frontage road and arterial. These provide excess parking on frontage road and could provide placemaking and open space opportunities.
• Remove merge lanes at intersections and replace with pedestrian space. • Employ typical traffic calming, reduction of space devoted to vehicles, etc.

2. The CASMCP Study Area is a large area that can be considered holistically; it can also support multiple neighborhood centers and can be considered at multiple smaller scales.
• Downtown is beyond the typical walkshed for large majority of the Study Area.
• Propose neighborhood centers at locations so the entire Study area is within a ½ mile walkshed. Develop tailored public- and private- realm strategies to encourage public and private realm redevelopment to create walkable town centers.

3. Integrate and leverage small urban design improvements with other disciplines – multi-modal transportation, stormwater, climate resiliency and adaptation, etc.
• There are many underutilized areas that could provide passive or active benefits to neighborhood character and active transportation modes:
concrete medians (center and frontage), stormwater catch basins. • Urban design improvements need to leverage available funding opportunities for improvements – street resurfacing, stormwater/water quality improvements, etc.

Urban Design Emerging Recommendations

4. Next steps of this study should develop more engagement for how people define their immediate neighborhood and that relationship to their active transportation behaviors.
• Where are formal and informal neighborhood boundaries? • What are the sizes of neighborhoods in Covina and what services and opportunities are available within neighborhoods? I.e., grocery stores, transit stops, neighborhood services, etc.
• How often are people walking/biking within their neighborhoods (dog walk, to the park, etc.) versus walking/biking to places outside their neighborhoods?
Census tract 4062 is in close proximity to Interstate 10, more than a mile from Downtown, and bordered by Azusa Avenue. These factors create barriers and represents car-oriented development patterns. There is opportunity for multi-disciplinary approach to encourage a walkable neighborhood center.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

SUPPLY & DEMAND SUMMARY
 The Eastern San Gabriel Valley retail submarket has seen little growth, with the submarket seeing a decline of -220,000 SF of retail space over the past 5 years. The City has captured ~10% of the regional supply in the local submarket. The City’s vacancy rate has fallen from ~10% in 2014 to 4.7% in 2022, with NNN rents approaching $21.80.  The Eastern San Gabriel Valley office submarket is stable, growing 1.6% over the past decade, with Covina providing ~11% of regional supply. New development activity is focused on medical office and build-to-suits for traditional tenants. Much of the office inventory in the downtown Covina area is medical office, centered around the Citrus Valley Intercommunity Hospital. Vacancy has fallen from ~12% in 2011 to ~3% in 2022, with gross rents of $23.  The multi-family residential submarket is extremely strong. The City of Covina represents ~8% of regional supply, with the City’s inventory adding 42 units over the past decade. Vacancy reached new lows of 1.5% starting in 2020; while rents have grown steadily, reaching ~$1,800 per month per unit in 2022.  The City of Covina only has two hotels: the 262-room midscale Vanllee Hotel & Suites located near the I-10 and the 26- room economy Evergreen Inn located on Arrow Highway. A 68-room midscale Avid Covina hotel is proposed for a site on Azusa Ave near San Bernardino Road.

CASE STUDY REVIEW

TRANSIT / ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The addition of bike lanes / pedestrian areas in commercial corridors is sometimes met with apprehension from local businesses, who are concerned about negative economic impacts due to the loss of parking in front of their businesses.

However, in a variety of case studies from other cities, pedestrian and bike improvements have been analyzed to understand their economic impact – in most cases, these studies tend to show either a neutral or positive impact on the vitality of retail businesses on streets impacted by road diets.

Key findings include:
 Bicyclists and pedestrians can be a sizable portion of a businesses’ clientele in a downtown area; while their pertrip spending can be lower than that of customers who drive, they tend to make a larger number of trips  Merchants in downtown areas tend to over-estimate the percentage of their customers who come via car and underestimate the percentage who bike or walk, thus over-estimating the impact of lost parking  Non-drivers can spend a long amount of time in a downtown area, likely leading to greater spending within the downtown district (and additional spending at locations other than their primary destination)

CASE STUDY REVIEW
Portland State University – Economic and Business Impacts of Mobility Improvements Researchers used a variety of analytic approaches and data sources to estimate the economic impacts of bicycle and street improvements in seven corridors across four cities – Portland, OR; San Francisco, CA; Minneapolis, MN; and Memphis, TN). The analysis observed some mixed results, but generally found that street improvements have either positive impacts on corridor economic and business performance or nonsignificant impacts.

York Avenue Road Diet – Los Angeles
In 2006, the City of Los Angeles put 1.1 miles of York Boulevard (between Eagle Rock Blvd and Avenue 52) on a road diet – narrowing the street from four mixed-use travel lanes to two mixed-use travel lanes, a turn lane, and bicycle lanes.

According to a study conducted in 2011/2012:
 85% of merchants felt new bike lanes did not hurt their businesses, while a similarly high percentage of customers felt the bike lanes were important roadway additions
 Businesses and customers alike seem to prefer slower vehicle speeds or feel that speed is unimportant  Businesses assumed that ~60-70% of their customers arrived by car, only 15-30% customers surveyed arrived by car  Analysis found that the road diet had little impact on property sales, values sales tax collections, and business formation

CASE STUDY REVIEW
UC Davis – Bicyclists as Consumers
Scholars from UC Davis published a study in 2014 that analyzed the differences in shopping behavior between bicyclists and motorists in downtown Davis. The study found that cyclists made more frequent shopping trips than customers traveling by car, and also found that cyclists spent slightly more on their purchases than motorists. The study also found that people who biked downtown were more loyal customers to the downtown area – they spent a larger share of their total spending downtown than drivers did.

Toronto – Economic Impacts of Removing Parking for Bike Lanes A series of economic impact studies were conducted by The Centre for Active Transportation on bike lane corridors in Toronto between 2009 and 2017. The studies found that a large majority of visitors to the study areas arrive by active transportation (bicycle or walking), and that merchants tended to overestimate the percentage of their customers who arrived by car. The studies also found that visitors who used active transportation visited more often and spent more money compared to customers who drove to the area, presumably to purchase a specific item.

CASE STUDY REVIEW
Institute for Transportation & Development Policy – Economic Case for Cycling A 2022 report by researchers at the ITDP notes that more trips by bicycles benefit individuals, businesses and cities, and that more demand for bicycles spurs jobs and economic opportunities. The report notes that  Bicycles have a much lower cost for purchase / operation / maintenance than private cars  Reducing vehicle trips minimizes costs to society such as congestion, air pollution / green house gas emissions  High quality cycling infrastructure can raise property values / municipal revenues  Improving access by bicycle to commercial areas can result in higher retail sales  Bicycle infrastructure can facilitate bicycle tourism and recreational opportunities  Mobility infrastructure can also support private investment in shared micromobility services (such as bikeshare / e-scooter)  Cycling infrastructure can be used for local goods delivery while reducing pollution / congestion Smart Growth America – Complete Streets Project Outcomes A 2015 report from Smart Growth America notes that Complete Streets projects can be a vital part of an economic development strategy, playing a key role in downtown revitalization efforts. The report’s economic analysis assessed business impacts on 22 commercial areas. Overall, the Complete Streets projects were found to be supportive of employment, new businesses, and higher property values, and the report notes that some cities observed higher retail sales along the improved corridors.

As a response to the COVID-19
pandemic, the cities of Santa Barbara and
Ventura have each closed a portion of
their downtown districts to vehicular
traffic, increasing pedestrian access and
outdoor dining spaces. The City of Culver
City also made mobility changes during
this time period, adding a dedicated bus
lane and bike lanes to several downtown
corridors.

Using PlacerAI data, Kosmont found that
closure of major downtown streets has
resulted in visitation levels and length of
visits generally in-line with, and in some
cases exceeding, pre-COVID patterns.

Note: Visit data filtered for visits from visitors with homes located within 5 miles of downtown areas to exclude tourism effects.

To: Mr. Miguel Núñez
Fehr & Peers
From: Narasimha Murthy, PhD, TE
Date: August 18, 2022
Subject: Covina Active Streets and Multimodal Connectivity Plan (ASCMP) Existing Conditions Infrastructure (Study Area)
Technical Memorandum

1. Introduction
The major project objective is to investigate the study area, and the feasibility for developing Active Streets and Multimodal Connectivity Plans (ASMCP) in the City of Covina (City). The city is in Los Angeles County, California; estimated at 22 miles (35 km) east of downtown Los Angeles, in the San Gabriel Valley. The current population is 51,268 according to the 2020 census.

A small stretch of the Interstate 10 freeway is to the south of the city. The city is served by Interstate 210 (Foothill Freeway) to the north, Interstate 605 (San Gabriel River Freeway) to the west, State Route 57 (Orange Freeway) to the east, and Interstate 10 to the south. The Metrolink San Bernardino Line passes through the city just north of the downtown area and Foothill Transit Center (Transit Center) is north of San Bernardino Avenue.

The City has a total area of seven (7) square miles (18 sq km); City of West Covina borders the City on both the south and west side. City of Irwindale is to the west, as well as the unincorporated County area of Vincent, and the City of Baldwin Park. Cities of Azusa and Glendora are to the north, the unincorporated County area of Charter Oak to the northeast, City of San Dimas to the east, the unincorporated County area of Ramona, and the City of Pomona to the southeast.

The city has grown in the past 50 years and has basic infrastructure built across the city, including roads, transportation, water, and electricity (energy). The city has public buildings, private offices, schools ranging from elementary to college, medical centers, and big box commercial stores such as Home Depot, Costco, Walmart, and IKEA. In addition, it has the Covina Metrolink station and Covina Transit Center.

2 1.1 Project Study Area
The study area for this project is shown in Figure 1(bordered in black), Arrow Highway to the north, Grand Avenue to the east, Azusa Avenue to the west, and the I-10 freeway to the south (close to Workman Avenue). The estimated total study area is three (3) square miles (approximately 1.5 miles east-west and

2.0 miles north-south). Figure 1 shows the Covina Metrolink Station and the Covina Transit Center along Citrus Avenue to the north of San Bernardino Road. Citrus Avenue passes through the middle of the study area. Figure 2 shows the north-south and east-west oriented street network in the study area with the existing right-of-way (R/W).

The major north-south oriented arterials are Azusa Avenue, Hollenbeck Avenue, Citrus Avenue, Barranca Avenue, 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, and Grand Avenue. The major east-west oriented arterials are Arrow Highway, Covina Boulevard, Cypress Street, San Bernardino Road, Badillo Street, Rowland Avenue, College Street, Cienega Avenue, and Workman Street.

There are local minor north-south and east-west streets that form the entire roadway network in the study area connecting businesses, schools, and residential areas within the city.

The City’s downtown area in Figure 1 (smaller circle area) is between Badillo Street to the south, College Street to the north, 2nd Avenue to the east, and 3rd Street to the west. The downtown area has restaurants, shops, cinemas, and attractions within the small area. In the downtown area the travel lanes are reduced from two (2) to one (1), parking restrictions with additional pedestrian safety signs are provided.

The downtown area remains busy during both weekdays and weekends. Figures 3 and 4 shows the typical Covina downtown area with parking on both sides of the road with one (1) through lane. Citrus Avenue from north to south has varying posted speeds of 40, 35, and 25 miles per hour (mph) from south to north in different sections of the road. The speed limit in the downtown area is 25 mph.

The existing right-of-way (R/W) for the major north-south and east-west streets are provided in Figure 2.

The R/W for the major arterials ranges between 80 and 50 feet. Most of the roads are on level terrain and the grades are not greater than 5 percent. The major roads have a posted speed of 40 miles per hour (MPH), except in the downtown area. The intersection of major north-south and east-west streets have been signalized (most have protected left turns and yield phase depending on the volume of traffic at the intersection). The following section provides the brief roadway characteristics of the major roads.

North-South Major Streets
Azusa Avenue (Highway 39) is a major road with 80 feet R/W and forms the western limit of the study area. This major north-south street has two-way turning lanes (TWTL), left turn pockets (LTP), medians, right turn pocket (RTP0 and it has 2 lanes in each direction.

7 2. Infrastructure and Transportation System
Currently, cities are fraught with infrastructure challenges, whether it is short- or long-term, building new infrastructure, or maintaining it. The recent trend of declining tax revenues and transportation funds makes it difficult for local governments to maintain basic services, let alone plan for future infrastructure needs.

This study is targeted towards providing active transportation options and establishing a multimodal connectivity plan for the City by using the existing infrastructure and adding the necessary elements for travel and safety.

2.1 Study Area – Existing Infrastructure Status
The entire study area was surveyed by driving through the roadway network both north-south and eastwest streets. During the field survey, notes were made on important road elements such as signalization, bikeways, left turn pockets, school zones, pedestrian signs, major and minor shopping centers and strips, cinemas, downtown area, and any other road elements of importance. Also, photos were taken at important roadways and intersections for further analysis as needed for the study.

2.1.1 Existing Conditions
Majority of the streets in the study area have mixed commercial and residential (single family homes to apartments) activities and there are streets exclusively with single and multi-family housing. There are residential units near educational institutions, such as elementary and high schools, located close to these residential areas. This provides the students to travel (walk/bike) to the schools from the nearby residences.

In the study area, there are major north-south and east-west streets that serve the traffic needs as shown in Figure 2. The major north-south oriented arterials are Azusa Avenue, Hollenbeck Avenue, Citrus Avenue, Barranca Avenue, 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, and Grand Avenue. The major east-west oriented arterials are Arrow Highway, Covina Boulevard, Cypress Street, San Bernardino Road, Badillo Street, Rowland Avenue, College Street, Cienega Avenue, and Workman Street.

The majority of the major intersections in the study area have adequate left turn pockets and the major intersections are signalized depending on the volume of traffic at the intersections. All the major roads have 40 mph as posted speed, with exceptions along Citrus Avenue near the downtown area and near school zones having reduced speeds (25 mph). The minor intersections intersecting the major roads have stop sign control. In addition, near school zones, proper signage indicating pedestrian crossing, and bikeway lanes are marked for the safety of road users.

The right-of-way (R/W) ranges between 80 feet and 50 feet for all the major north-south and east-west roads as shown in Figure 2. At major intersections with high volumes the right turn pockets are provided.

Page 132 of 141 ends

Covina Active Streets and Multimodal Connectivity Plan (ASCMP) Existing Conditions Infrastructure (Study Area) Technical Memorandum

Page 8 ends

8 Grand Avenue, Citrus Avenue, and Azusa Avenue have direct access to freeways (I-10 to the south and SR-210 to the north). The remaining north-south and east-west roads have indirect access to freeways using the major connectors. The downtown area described in Section 1 and shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4 has reduced speed of 25 mph for a limited distance north of Badillo Street and reduced number of through lanes from two lanes (2) to one (1), which provide more parking in the downtown area and also assists to reduce auto speeds.

In the downtown area, well-marked pedestrian crossings with different road surface color (tiles are used) for visibility and pedestrian signs as shown in Figure 4. This arrangement also provides advanced notice to drivers entering the downtown area and clearly differentiates other areas within the study area, such as school zones. Most of the intersections in the study area meet the required 4' or wider and most observed intersections have curb ramps and truncated domes at all corners. Some of the major arterials allow curbside parking as shown in Figure 5.

9 3. Major Transportation Centers
The Southern Pacific Railroad and the Metrolink San Bernardino Line pass through the city just north of the downtown area. The Covina Transit Center is served by both local and express bus lines and is located at the Citrus Avenue and Covina Boulevard intersection, as shown in Figure 6. The Transit Center in Covina has 360 estimated parking spaces. From the Covina Transit Center, bus connections are available to the Cities of Azusa, Glendora, and Walnut.

The Covina Metrolink station is located three-quarter of a mile to the south of the Covina Transit Center.

It located at 600 N Citrus Avenue to the east between Front Street and Edna Place as shown in Figure 7.

The station serves the San Bernardino line of Metrolink connecting Downtown Los Angeles (west) and Downtown San Bernardino (east), passing through Downtown Pomona. There are an estimated 1000 parking spaces in a parking lot and parking structure located close to the station with a daily fee.

3.1.1 Transit Oriented Development (TOD)
One of the project tasks is to identify a suitable location for the development of a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) site. The City has provided twelve (12) suitable TOD sites, one must be identified as the most suitable site as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 6 Covina Transit Center

Page 134 of 141 ends

Covina Active Streets and Multimodal Connectivity Plan (ASCMP) Existing Conditions Infrastructure (Study Area) Technical Memorandum

Page 10 ends

10 SB 743 (Steinberg, 2013) updates the way transportation impacts are measured in California for new development projects, making sure facilities are built to allow Californians more options to drive less. TOD integrates the building of housing, retail, office, and public space together focused on transit stations (both bus and rail). This infill of development allows people within comfortable walking distance, usually within a quarter mile, of a public trail transit station to reduce automobile dependence for local and work trips.

In addition, the attraction of an accessible transit system increases the land use value in the area, commuter’s health risks are reduced, and provides additional active transportation activities to the community [1,2]. The selection of suitable site factors needs to be considered and evaluated such as the location, proximity to transit centers, economic feasibility (land value and taxes), size, share of commercial and residential (usually apartments), and availability of land.

The significant benefits of building adjacent to rail transit stations through TODs has been proven worldwide with regards of strengthening local economic conditions, increase of transit ridership, improved social and health benefits, increase of land-values and real estate, while creating a more sustainable community [3]. _____________________________________________________________________________________

12 4. Existing Active Transportation
Active transportation is described modes of travel such as walking, cycling, in-line skating, and skateboarding using roadway and sidewalk surfaces. It is also combined with other modes of travel such as buses and trains. Currently, there are bike lanes marked on City streets.

The identified streets with bike lanes are Citrus Avenue, Badillo Street, 2nd Street, Hollenbeck Avenue, and Covina Boulevard. Only Badillo Street has bike lane from Azusa Avenue to Grand Avenue (with a gap between 2nd and 4th Avenue), while the remaining streets are only partially marked for a bike lane. Figures 9,10 11 and 12 shows typical bike lanes, road markings, and signs in the study area.

Adding more bike lanes to selected road networks helps to encourage bike riding and increases access to destinations by bike. In addition, health risks are reduced [1]. The selection of additional active transportation facilities such as bike lanes will require evaluation of the streets, safety, and accessibility to attractions such as schools and commercial places

4.1.1 Selection of Bike Lane Route
The safety of both pedestrians and bike riders needs to be considered in designing the Active transportation within the focused study streets in Figure 13. The development of Bike Lane Type (I, II, III, and IV) selection primarily depends on the traffic volume and operating speed characteristics of the roadway, which are often implied by their functional classification (arterial, collector, local) within various land use contexts of the city. The minimal allowable width of a bike lane is 5 feet from the face of a curb or guardrail to the bike lane stripe. The overall safety of all road users should be paramount in selecting and designing the bike facilities.

16 5. Summary
A site visit was conducted to evaluate the existing infrastructure in the study area for the purpose of developing potential active transportation improvements and identifying a potential TOD site. The entire study area road network was traveled to understand the existing transportation infrastructure such as major and minor arterials, freeway access, major and minor land use developments (schools, commercial, and public buildings), transit centers (rail and bus), and safety aspects of roadway design and development.

Existing maps, City-provided data, and aerial imagery were also evaluated.

The existing bike lanes are well-marked. By increasing access to use bikes on appropriately selected road networks in the study area, the city will help encourage commuters to use multimodal transportation.

Overall safety of all road users should be paramount in selecting and designing bike lane routes.

ITEM NO. CC 6
Meeting: CC Regular Meeting - Dec 20 2022
Title: Consideration of a Tank Space Lease Agreement between the City of Covina and New Cingular Wireless PCS
Presented By: Andy Bullington, Director of Public Works Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to execute a Tank Space Lease Agreement between the City of Covina and New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / BACKROUND:

The City currently has land lease agreements with several wireless communication companies at various Cityowned properties. The City has been approached by New Cingular Wireless PCS (Cingular) in an effort to negotiate a possible lease agreement that enables Cingular to attach an antenna to the Rancho La Merced Water Tank. The proposed new lease agreement may generate approximately $1,148,478 in Water Fund revenue over the 20-year term of the lease.

DISCUSSION:

The City Attorney and staff from various departments (Public Works, Planning and Administrative Services) have participated in the development of a draft lease agreement for a new wireless communication facility located on the Rancho La Merced water tank that preserves all City uses at the site, provides vital connectivity for the City with priority communication for our first responders while generating revenue for the Water Fund for the City Council to consider.

In addition, the new antenna installation will provide significant direct benefits to City of Covina public safety operations by increasing cellular 9-1-1 effectiveness and prioritizing services for first responders in the event of an emergency should the cellular system become overloaded. Moreover, additional benefits include enhanced service to residents, businesses and visitors without any upfront costs and provide unplanned revenue to the Covina Water Fund. Engaging in this activity supports the City Council's ongoing priorities of public safety and maintaining fiscal responsibility while preserving all City uses at the site.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City has reached a tentative agreement with Cingular on a new lease provided the City Council approves the terms and authorizes the City Manager to execute the Land Lease Agreement (Attachment A). The agreement is slated to generate $1,143,478 in rent and an additional $5,000 in administrative fees for a grand total of $1,148,478 in revenue over the proposed 20-year term of the lease. All revenue from the agreement will be applied to the Covina Water Fund and could be set aside for Capital Improvement Projects or rate stabilization as water costs continue to increase.

The proposed terms of the agreement are summarized below. The agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office and has been approved as to form.
• Five-year initial term, with three five-year extension options, unless terminated earlier as provided in the Agreement
• Monthly rent of $3,200
• Annual fixed escalator of 4%
• Administrative payments of $5,000 on execution of Agreement • New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC shall be responsible for all installation, maintenance, and repairs associated with the Telecommunication Facilities, including all related costs and expenses. • All legal expenses in preparation and execution of the Agreement will be paid by New Cingular Wireless PCS, LLC once the Agreement is signed
ZONING:

Typically, use permits are required for the installation of wireless telecommunications facilities. Since the installation is located on City-owned property, a use permit shall not apply to sites where the construction, installation or modification or a wireless communications facility is subject to a lease, license or other agreement with the City (see Attachment “B” Covina Municipal Code Section 17.65.030.B.).

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

This project has been determined to be categorically exempt under CEQA in accordance with Section 15301 Existing Facilities (Class 1). The project involves negligible or no expansion of an existing use.

Title: Accept Contribution from the Covina Valley Historical Society for the Repair of the Exterior of the Covina Heritage House
Presented By: Andy Bullington, Director of Public Works Rafael Fajardo, City Engineer
Recommendation: Rescind Resolution CC 2022-63 and adopt Resolution CC 2022-140 for the required repair work for the Covina Heritage House.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / BACKROUND:

On June 21, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution CC 2022-63 appropriating $50,000 of funding through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) to support a local non-profit organization, the Covina Valley Historical Society (CVHS), with the understanding that CVHS owned the building and as such the use of the ARPA funds would fall into the support of a local non-profit organization category. However, staff has recently learned that the City owns the building and leased it to the CVHS since December 1, 1989, so as a housekeeping item it is recommended that Council rescind Resolution CC 2022-63 and approve Resolution CC 2022-140 accepting a $25,000 contribution from CVHS and appropriating it to the project while appropriating $50,000 from Measure CC funds for the required repair work needed to keep the Covina Heritage House functional in subsequent years.

DISCUSSION:

On December 1, 1989, the City of Covina entered into a lease agreement with the Covina Valley Historical Society for the use of a portion of the premises of Covina Park for the relocation and rehabilitation of the building commonly known as the “Nash House.” The house was built in 1908 by William Nash, a local pharmacist. It was originally located on San Bernardino Road and was saved from demolition in 1989 when the Covina Valley Historical Society moved it to its current location on Valencia Place within Covina Park. The house offers visitors a rare glimpse of life at the turn of the last century.

City staff recently developed a scope of work to mitigate the remediation of lead-based paint removal/disposal, repair rotted cladding, façade, minor electrical repairs and the repainting of the building. When the City received bids for the rehabilitation project the total costs exceeded the approved appropriation authorized by the City Council. Since that time, the Covina Valley Historical Society has requested to participate in the cost for repairs and has requested the City Council accept a contribution of $25,000 to assist with the repair of the Covina Heritage House. If the City Council accepts this contribution and appropriates $50,000 from Measure CC funds, the Public Works Department is confident with both funding sources all repairs can be conducted without any additional funds.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Previously the City Council adopted Resolution CC 2022-63 appropriating $50,000 of funding as a pass though grant from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to repair the nonprofit’s building, however, now that we have learned the City owns the building the expenditure accounts need to be adjusted as a housekeeping item. In addition, by rescinding Resolution CC 2022-63 while approving Resolution CC 2022-140 it will authorize staff to conduct the following action items:

1. Rescind Resolution CC 2022-63, the prior approved appropriation of $50,000 of funding through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) to support a local non-profit organization.

2. Authorize the acceptance of the $25,000 contribution from the Covina Historical Society with the direction to appropriate these funds to account number 4010-6100-55100 (General CIP-City Facilities-Buildings and Structures).

3. Appropriate $50,000 of Measure CC funds from available Measure CC fund balance to account number 4010-6100-55100 (General CIP-City Facilities-Buildings and Structures).

By authorizing these actions, previously allocated ARPA funding will be replaced with Measure CC funding and will free up ARPA funds for use on other projects, while accepting funds from the Covina Valley Historical Society to supplement the total cost of the project and provide sufficient funding to complete the necessary work.

None.

Title: Amendment Number One (1) to the Professional Services Agreement with MasterCorp Services LLC for Janitorial Services
Presented By: David Povero, Chief of Police
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager or his designee to sign Amendment Number One (1) to the Professional Services Agreement with MasterCorp Services LLC for Janitorial Services regarding a service rate increase.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY / BACKROUND:

The police station is a 24-7 facility where all areas see heavy traffic and utilization thus making cleanliness an important priority. The City is currently in a one-year agreement with option for two additional one-year terms with MasterCorp Services to provide janitorial services for the police station.

DISCUSSION:

MasterCorp Services has done a good job cleaning the police station and is requesting a rate increase due to rising labor costs. To recruit and retain janitorial staff and maintain a level of service quality, MasterCorp Services has to offer higher wages. The police department is currently paying of $3,923.67 a month for service. This will increase to $4,286.72 per month which is an increase of $363.05 FISCAL IMPACT:

Monthly cost of service will increase by $363.05. The agreement has a not-to-exceed amount of $58,900.05 for any additional work/increase that is authorized. Total cost is budgeted in the FY 2022-23 Police Budget in 1010 1000 52300 (janitorial). There is no additional general fund impact.

Recommendation: Approve and make the following findings so that meetings of the City Council and the City’s Other Legislative Bodies are authorized to meet remotely in accordance with AB 361’s special Brown Act requirements for teleconference meetings as follows: (1) the City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency; and (2) the emergency directly impacts the ability of the members of the public to meet safely.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This item is on the agenda so that the City Council and the other legislative bodies of the City, including the Successor Agency to the Covina Redevelopment Agency, the Covina Public Financing Authority, the Covina Housing Authority, the Planning Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Traffic and Parking Advisory Commission, the Finance Advisory Commission and the Library Board of Trustees (collectively “City’s Other Legislative Bodies”) may meet virtually pursuant to Assembly Bill (“AB”) 361’s special Brown Act requirements for teleconference meetings. These special requirements give local public agencies greater flexibility to conduct teleconference meetings when there is a declared state of emergency and either social distancing is mandated or recommended, or when the legislative body determines an in-person meeting would present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees.

BACKGROUND:

On March 4, 2020, Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency to exist in California due to the spread of COVID-19. The Governor subsequently issued numerous executive orders suspending or modifying state laws to facilitate the response to the emergency. Among other things, these executive orders superseded certain Brown Act requirements and established special rules to give local public agencies greater flexibility to conduct teleconference meetings. The special rules included provisions allowing local public agencies to conduct teleconference meetings, including authorizing council members and board members to participate in meetings from remote locations without compliance with certain noticing requirements (Executive Order N-29-20) Suspended teleconferencing rules included the Brown Act's requirements that: (1) the notice of the meeting and agenda identify the location of the remote location; (2) the remote location is accessible to the public; and (3) the agenda provides an opportunity for the public to directly address the council at each teleconference location. The special rules suspending these Brown Act requirements expired on September 30, 2021 (Executive Order N-09- 21, section 42)
On September 16, 2021, in anticipation of then-imminent expiration of his special rules for teleconference meetings, the Governor signed AB 361. In key part, this bill amends the Brown Act to establish special requirements for teleconference meetings if a legislative body of a local public agency makes two findings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(3). Like the special rules in the Governor’s executive orders, the special Brown Act requirements in AB 361 include provisions allowing public agencies to conduct teleconference meetings without having to provide a physical location from which the public may attend or comment, without having to use teleconference locations that are publicly accessible, and without having to identify teleconference locations on the agenda. The AB 361 special Brown Act requirements are scheduled be repealed on January 1, 2024.

In order for a local public agency to continue to be subject to the AB 361 special Brown Act requirements for teleconference meetings, a legislative body of a local public agency first must make a finding that it has "reconsidered" the circumstances of a declared state of emergency. Second, the legislative body must find that such emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members of the public to meet in person.

Alternately, for the second finding, the legislative body much find that state or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing measures. These findings must be made again within 30 days and on a monthly basis thereafter.

DISCUSSION:

The City Council and the City’s Other Legislative Bodies have met remotely or in a hybrid meeting format throughout the pandemic to protect the health and safety of the public and staff pursuant to these requirements.

The factual circumstances exist for the City to hold meetings pursuant to AB 361.

First, the Governor's declared emergency is still in effect. Second the emergency directly impacts the ability of the members of the public, especially those with an elevated risk for severe health outcomes due to COVID-19 infection, to meet safely in person, as Los Angeles County officials continue to recommend measures to reduce the transmission risk of the COVID-19 Omicron variant and its sub variants. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Order Responding Together at Work and in the Community continues to highlight its primary goal of protecting persons at elevated risk or severe health outcomes due to COVID-19 infection.

This Order's primary intent continues to be to reduce transmission risk of COVID-19 in the County for those in higher transmission risk settings and protect those persons at elevated risk for severe health outcomes due to COVID-19 infection. It is very likely that there will be additional and unpredictable waves of infections and hospitalizations that will require monitoring and may require implementing different strategies to meet changing mitigation needs. The County will need to be ready to meet those challenges as they arise. The County Health Department also requires masks in certain healthcare and congregate care facilities at elevated risks for severe illness to continue to wear masks at indoor public settings to prevent COVID transmission in public settings.

Therefore, staff recommends the City Council approve and make the following findings so that meetings of the City Council and the City’s Other Legislative Bodies are authorized to be conducted remotely in accordance with AB 361 and subject to the special Brown Act requirements for teleconference meetings: (1) the City Council has reconsidered the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency; and (2) the emergency directly impacts the ability of the members of the public to meet safely.

If the Council makes the findings and confirms that the City Council and its other Legislative Bodies will be meeting during a proclaimed state of emergency and the emergency directly impacts the ability of the members of the public to meet safely in person, the City Council should make these findings again within 30 days to continue to be subject to the AB 361 special Brown Act requirements.

CEQA (CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT):

The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.

Pursuant to Section 66452.6(a) of the Government Code, the life of all Initial Development Approvals and any and all Subsequent Development Approvals approved by CITY with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, tentative or vesting tentative subdivision map(s) approved for the Property, or any portion thereof, shall also be extended for a period equal to the Term of this Agreement and any extensions thereto.

3.4 Timing of Development. The parties acknowledge that OWNER cannot at this time predict when, or at what rate the Property will be developed with the Project. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are or may not be within the control of OWNER, such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion and other similar factors.

Since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal. 3d 465, that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over such parties’ agreement, it is the parties’ intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that OWNER shall have the right to Develop the Property with the Project in such order and at such rate and at such times as OWNER deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment.

3.5 Changes and Amendments. The parties acknowledge that Development of the Property with the Project may require Subsequent Development Approvals, and that in connection therewith OWNER may determine that changes are appropriate and desirable in the Initial Development Approvals, including, without limitation, the Development Plan. In accordance with Section 3.1 above, in the event OWNER finds that such a change is appropriate or desirable, OWNER may apply in writing for an amendment to any Initial Development Approval(s), including, without limitation, the Development Plan to effectuate such change, and CITY shall process such application notwithstanding anything in this Agreement that may be to the contrary.

CITY shall have no obligation to grant any such application by OWNER that modifies the permitted or conditionally permitted uses or the overall intensity or density of Development of the Property, or otherwise is a substantial modification of the Development Plan having significant adverse environmental impacts that have not been evaluated and mitigated to the extent feasible.

CITY’s approval of any Subsequent Development Approval (including, without limitation, any change in the Initial Development Approvals (including the Development Plan)) shall not require an amendment to this Agreement except in the event and to the extent that OWNER expressly seeks and CITY approves such amendment in connection therewith. Upon CITY’s approval of any Subsequent Development Approval, it shall become a part of the Development Approvals governing Development of the Property and shall be conclusively deemed to be consistent with

this Agreement, without any further need for any amendment to this Agreement or any of its Exhibits.

3.6 Reservation of Authority.

3.6.1 Limitations, Reservations and Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following Subsequent Land Use Regulations shall apply to the Development of the Property:
(a) Processing Fees imposed by CITY to cover the estimated actual costs to CITY of processing applications for Development Approvals or for monitoring compliance with any Subsequent Development Approvals granted or issued. The Project shall be subject to any increase in Processing Fees imposed by CITY, provided that such a change is applied on a CITY-wide basis. (b) Procedural regulations not inconsistent with this Agreement, relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals and any other matter of procedure. (c) Changes adopted by the International Conference of Building Officials as part of the then most current versions of the Uniform Building Code, Uniform Fire Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, Uniform Mechanical Code, Uniform Solar Energy Code, Uniform Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Code, Uniform Housing Code, Uniform Administrative Code, National Electrical Code, and any other Uniform Code, and also adopted by CITY as Subsequent Land Use Regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, construction in connection with the Project shall be subject to changes occurring from time to time in the provisions of the CITY’s building standards codes, including the CITY’s building, mechanical, plumbing and electrical regulations that are based on the recommendations of multi-state professional organization(s) and become applicable throughout the CITY, including the California Building Code and other similar or related uniform codes.
(d) Regulations which may be in conflict with the Initial Development Approval(s) but which are identified after the Effective Date as necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare. To the extent possible, any such regulations shall be applied and construed consistent with Section 3.6.3 below so as to provide OWNER with the rights and assurances provided under this Agreement. (e) Regulations which are not in conflict with the Initial Development Approvals, including, without limitation, the Development Plan and this Agreement. Any regulation, whether adopted by initiative or otherwise, limiting the rate or timing of Development of the Property, reducing the intensity or density of the Project, or attempting to assess any additional Development Impact Fees or taxes on Development of the Property, or imposing additional and/or more stringent architectural or landscaping requirements or reviews, shall be deemed to conflict
