Agenda Item 4.

DATE: January 10, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Clay Schoen, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: 2022 Investment Policy Update
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

The City’s investment policy requires that the policy be reviewed and adopted annually. The City’s policy was first adopted by the City Council on May 15, 1996. In 2002, the National Association of Public Treasurers in the United States and Canada certified the City’s investment policy as meeting their established standards. The policy has since been reviewed for update every year thereafter to ensure compliance and sound investment practices.

In preparing the update, the City’s investment advisor, Public Financial Management (PFM), was asked to review and provide comment. The only change recommended with this update is references to the City’s annual financial report to reflect the report’s current title of Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. The proposed investment policy is presented for consideration and approval.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Prudent investments provide for the safekeeping of funds and are an important revenue source.

Re: 2022 Investment Policy Review
December 8, 2022

We completed our review of the City of El Cajon’s (“City”) Investment Policy (“Policy”). The City’s Policy is comprehensive and is consistent with California Government Code (“Code”) statutes regulating the investment of public funds. We are, however, recommending The City update the Policy’s reference to the annual financial report to incorporate GASB Statement No. 98 . In October 2021, Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 98 officially changed the name Comprehensive Annual Financial Report to Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and the acronym to ACFR.

Although no changes are required, we also wanted to bring to your attention to two upcoming Code changes that were mad e as part of SB 1489, which will take effect January 1, 2023. The Bill updates the quarterly reporting deadline and clarifies how to calculate a security’s maximum maturity at purchase. First, SB 1489 increased the deadline for quarterly reports in Code section 53646 (b)(1) to 45 days from 30 days. As reporting is optio nal under Code, the City should determine whether to implement this change.

Second, Code had not previously defined whether a security’s remaining maturity was to be calculated from trade or settlement date. To provide greater clarity, SB 1489 provides that an investment’s remaining maturity at purchase is to be measured from the investment’s settlement date (the Bill further specifies that the forward settlement date of an investment cannot excee
d 45 days from the time of investment). This will provide local agencies more opportunities to consider new issue five‐year securities. The remaining maturity on five‐year new issue securities will often exceed five years if calculated to trade date but not if calculated to settl ement date. As neither trade nor settlement date is referenced in the Policy, no changes are required.

Please let us know if you have any questions or if you would like to discuss further. pfm ) asset

SUBJECT: Contract Amendment for Wells Park Improvements - Storm Water Treatment & Landscaping
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

On October 22, 2019, the City Council approved SOQ No. 004-20 – On-Call Professional Services. The Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) resulted in a pre-qualified list of firms for on-call professional services covering multiple disciplines such as architectural, building/fire plan check, civil engineering, construction management, electrical/mechanical engineering, geotechnical, land surveying, and storm water management. Contracts greater than $75,000 require City Council approval.

On April 6, 2020, the City entered into a one-year contract to provide civil engineering services with Chen Ryan Associates, Inc. in the amount of $74,930 effective through April 5, 2023 (the first two amendments comprised of time extensions only). The additional request is for park signage design services, topographic survey of Madison Avenue from the centerline to the southern right-of-way, and amend construction plans to address pothole concerns, requiring additional compensation.

Staff is requesting to increase the contract by $23,000 to provide for the above-mentioned additional services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of the $23,000 increase will supplement the existing contract with Chen Ryan Associates, Inc. for a total contract amount of $97,930. Sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget, Wells Park Improvements – Stormwater Treatment and Landscaping (203700PWCP).

DATE: January 10, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Noah Alvey, Deputy Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Appeal of Planning Commission's Decision Denying a Request to Add Off-Sale Alcohol to an Existing Convenience Store at 500 N. Second Street RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Opens the Public Hearing and receives testimony;1.

Closes the Public Hearing;2.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

This is an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to deny a request to establish off-sale beer and wine for off-site consumption at an existing convenience store at 500 N. Second Street. The convenience store is approximately 2,958 sq. ft. in size with a sales floor area of approximately 1,705 sq. ft. The applicant proposes a maximum of 10 percent of the retail sales floor area be used for retail display of beer and wine for off-site consumption.

BACKGROUND:

General Plan: Neighborhood Commercial (NC)
Zone: C-N (Neighborhood Commercial)
Notable State
Law(s):

Alcoholic Beverage Control Act; Business and Professions Code Section 23958.4(b)(2)
Applicant: R. Bruce Evans on behalf of 7-Eleven Inc. and the store franchisees Kashmira and Tushar Bharucha
Project Chronology
The existing convenience store was approved under Site Development Plan No. 1486 by the City Council on March 26, 2013. On March 18, 2014, the Planning Commission denied a request to add off-sale beer and wine to the convenience store. The Planning Commission found that the subject site was located in a census tract that was over-concentrated with off-sale alcohol outlets and that the site was in a high crime area. The Planning Commission decision was appealed and on July 22, 2014, the appeal was denied by the City Council.

Construction of the convenience store was completed on January 9, 2015 and it has operated as a 7-Eleven convenience store since that time.
as a 7-Eleven convenience store since that time.

Project Site & Constraints
The subject property is approximately 15,000 square feet in area and is located at the northwest corner of North Second Street and East Madison Avenue. The site is positioned partially in front of Madison Plaza and shares interconnecting access between parking areas on the north and west. Madison Plaza is a neighborhood shopping center and consists of several parcels within the block formed by North Second Street, Oakdale Avenue, and East Madison Avenue.

Surrounding Context
The properties surrounding the project site are developed and zoned as follows:

Direction Zones Land Uses
North C-N Madison Plaza Shopping Center/Carl’s Jr.

South C-G Town & Country Shopping Center and gas station East C-G Diego Valley East Public Charter School
West C-G/RM-2200 Madison Plaza Shopping Center/Multiple-family dwelling units General Plan
The project site is designated NC (Neighborhood Commercial) on the General Plan Land Use Map. As described in the General Plan, NC designated areas are intended to accommodate commercial development in the form of small shopping centers or individual commercial buildings in close proximity to residential neighborhoods, which serve the daily shopping needs of residents.

ABC and 2016 Moratorium
Licenses for off-sale beer and wine establishments are issued by the State of California Department of Alcoholic Beverage and Control (ABC). State laws limit the concentration of licenses within the crime reporting districts of the local jurisdiction. For cities, such as El Cajon, these are based on "census tracts." ABC regulations periodically (about every 5 years) identify those cities having crime reporting districts with 120% or more of the average of crimes in its districts and applies a "moratorium" on the issuance of licenses with certain exceptions. In 2016, the most recent year of ABC's analysis (2016 Moratorium), El Cajon was identified as a "moratorium city," and remains so at the present time. This means that an ABC license is subject to City approval.

Municipal Code/Zoning Code
El Cajon Municipal Code (ECMC) Chapter 17.210 indicates convenience stores with off-sale alcoholic beverage sales, limited to beer and wine, may be approved by conditional use permit (CUP) subject to findings. ECMC Chapter 17.210 is the Alcohol Sales and Deemed Approved Alcohol Sales Ordinance which includes location requirements, required findings, and conditions of approval for new off-sale beverage activities. Excerpts from Chapter 17.210 that apply to the request for a conditional use permit at 500 N. Second St. are included as an attachment to this report.

DISCUSSION
The subject site is located in Census Tract 163.02. This census tract currently has four active off-sale licenses. ABC’s authorized number of off-sale licenses for this census tract is three, thus making the census tract over-concentrated. The City's current overall off-sale license count is 76.

The average crime rate for the City is 164 offenses per district and 120% of the citywide average is 197 offenses. ABC considers offense rates up to 120% to be average. The total number of offenses in census tract 163.02 was 280 offenses or 170.7% of the citywide average.

A range of 120-200% of the citywide average is considered “High” based on ABC criteria. Staff would also note that census tract 157.01 is located immediately south of the subject site, across E. Madison Ave., and has the highest crime rate in the City with 533 offenses or 325% of the citywide average.

Staff would like to note that the ABC list of licenses within Census Tract 163.02 incorrectly includes a license at 601 N. Second St., which is located in Census Tract 164.03. Since the subject area does not have a capacity for additional off-sale licenses, as defined by ABC, and has a high crime rate, adding a license to this location would not be consistent with the finding that the area in which the off-sale license is requested has capacity for an additional license and has a low to average crime rate as described in ECMC section 17.210.110.D.

The applicant’s project description indicates that the applicant, “will agree to purchase a second ABC License (21-194540), which it will then transfer out of the City of El Cajon altogether, or in the alternative facilitate the cancelation of the Type 21 license.” ECMC section 17.210.120 anticipates this type of request and states, “In order to make required findings the applicant must acquire an existing off-sale license issued by the ABC from an off-sale alcohol sales establishment located in an over-concentrated census tract in the City of El Cajon and transfer the license to an approved location or otherwise extinguish such license.” However, before this finding can be made, the subject census tract must have capacity and have less than a high crime rate.

ABC License (21-194540) is associated with 950 N. Second St., which is the former Vons grocery store that closed and was recently converted into a religious facility. The ABC license database indicates that this license has been surrendered. Furthermore, on September 3, 2019, the Planning Commission terminated the deemed approved status for off-sale alcohol sales at 950 N. Second St. and found that the termination would reduce the number of off-sale outlets in the City and the potential to increase issues related to the sale of alcohol, such as loitering, public drunkenness, alcoholic beverage sales to minors, noise, and littering. Staff does not consider the license for 950 N. Second St. to be an existing license because the store is no longer in existence and because the deemed approved status for the store has been revoked.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:

On October 18, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing for the request. The applicant's representative, R. Bruce Evans, and one of the store's franchisees, Kashmira Bharucha, spoke in opposition to the staff recommendation. With Commissioner Mroz absent, the Planning Commission voted 4-0 to deny the request. The Planning Commission found that the over-concentration of licenses within the census tract associated with the site, as well as the crime rate for the area, supported staff's recommendation to deny the request.

FINDINGS:

The proposed off-sale beer and wine sales with a convenience store is consistent with applicable goals, policies, and programs of the General Plan.

Excessive off-sale licenses create negative impacts on the overall community and nearby residential neighborhoods, including but not limited to noise, traffic, litter, crime, and other public nuisances. Furthermore, the current over-saturation of alcoholic beverage outlets strains City resources, aggravates existing crime problems, and negatively impacts public safety. General Plan Policy 5-9.1 directs the City to improve public safety for all residents through community policing efforts and crime prevention measures. Therefore, the proposed off-sale beer and wine sales in an over-concentrated census tract with a high crime rate is not consistent with this finding.

The proposed off-sale beer and wine sales with a convenience store is consistent with all applicable use and development standards, including off-sale alcohol locational requirements.

The existing site and building are consistent with all applicable use and development standards. Furthermore, the proposed off-sale beer and wine sales do not directly affect the underlying zone’s development, and would not remove any required parking from the site. Moreover, the proposed establishment meets the locational requirements of ECMC section 17.210.090.

The proposed off-sale beer and wine sales with a convenience store will be operated in a manner that is compatible with existing and planned land uses in the vicinity of the proposed use.

The City’s over-concentration of alcoholic beverage outlets creates negative impacts on the overall community, and it generates secondary effects of negative impacts on the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the subject census tract has four existing off-sale establishments and the addition of a fifth license will further exacerbate the over-concentration. Therefore, the addition of off-sale beer and wine sales is not compatible with existing and planned land uses and is not consistent with this finding.

The proposed off-sale beer and wine sales with a convenience store will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare, including effects on nearby neighborhoods, places of worship, and other alcoholic beverage sales activity establishments.

The current over-concentration of licenses for off-sale alcohol strains City resources, aggravates existing crime problems, and negatively impacts public safety. The proposed use is within Census Tract 163.02, which is a “high” crime area at 170.7% of the citywide average. Crime problems in the area would be exacerbated due to the greater accessibility of alcoholic beverages that the proposed use would make possible. Furthermore, Census Tract 157.01 is located immediately south of the subject site, across E. Madison Ave., and has the highest crime rate in the City with 533 offenses or 325% of the citywide average.

Therefore, off-sale beer and wine sales are not consistent with this finding.

The proposed off-sale beer and wine sales with a convenience store is in the best interest of public convenience and necessity.

Four off-sale licensed establishments currently exist in the subject census tract and four more are in close proximity in the adjacent census tract, south of E. Madison Ave. along North Second Street. Therefore, off-sale beer and wine sale outlets are conveniently located nearby at existing stores such as WalMart, Grocery Outlet, Liquor Town, and Sprouts Farmers Market.

The proposed off-sale beer and wine sales is located in a census tract with capacity for additional off-sale licenses, as defined by the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control, with low to average crime rates, as defined by the Police Department annually, subject to the condition that an additional off-sale establishment will not be contradictory to a moratorium.

The proposed off-sale of beer and wine sales is located in a census tract with four off-sale alcohol outlets. The California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control’s authorized number of off-sale licenses for this census tract is three; therefore, there is no capacity for additional off-sale licenses. Furthermore, the crime rate is high and adding an additional license to this location would be contradictory to the 2016 Moratorium.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) according to section 15061(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061(b)(4) states that projects which are disapproved by a public agency are exempt from CEQA.

PUBLIC NOTICE & INPUT:

Notice of this public hearing was mailed on December 20, 2022, to all property owners within 300 feet of the project site and to anyone who requested such notice in writing, in compliance with Government Code sections 65090, 65091, and 65092, as applicable. Additionally, as a public service, the notice was posted in the kiosk at City Hall and on the City’s website.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff is recommending that the City Council affirm the Planning Commission's denial of the conditional use permit because the required findings cannot be made, specifically due to the census tract associated with the subject site having an over-concentration of existing off-sale licenses and a high crime rate.

WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly advertised public hearing on January 10, 2023, to consider CUP No. 2022- 0013 and received evidence through public testimony and comment, in the form of verbal and written communications and reports.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CAJON AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The City Council finds that:

1. The proposed project is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA") according to section 15061(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061(b)(4) states that projects which are disapproved by a public agency are exempt from CEQA.

2. In accordance with State Business and Professions Code section 23817.5, which limits the number of licenses for off -sale beer and wine establishments issued by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage and Control ( "ABC") where there exists an over concentration of licenses within crime reporting districts (census tracts in the City of El Cajon) , ABC regulations periodically

Page 2 of 3 ends

(approximately every five (5) years) identifies those cities with total existing licenses having crime reporting districts with more than 120% of the average crimes for the city’s districts, and designate them "moratorium" cities. In 2016, ABC designated the City of El Cajon as a moratorium city (the "2016 Moratorium") because the number of off -sale licenses for alcoholic beverages exceeds the maximum of one (1) per 2,500 residents , thereby limiting new licenses with certain exceptions. The 2016 Moratorium remains in effect at the present. By designated the City of El Cajon as a moratorium city ABC recognizes that the City should determine whether any ABC licenses should be permitted. In making this determination the City Council recognizes that e xcessive off-sale licenses create negative impacts on the overall community and nearby residential neighborhoods, including but not limited to noise, traffic, litter, crime, and other public nuisances. Furthermore, the current oversaturation of alcoholic beverage outlets strains City resources, aggravates existing crime problems, and negatively impacts public safety. General Plan Policy 5- 9.1 directs the City to improve public safety for all residents through community policing efforts and crime prevention measures. Therefore, the proposed off- sale beer and wine sales in an over concentrated census tract is not consistent with this finding.

3. The existing site and building are consistent with all applicable use and development standards. Furthermore, the proposed off -sale beer and wine sales does not directly affect the underlying zone’s development, and would not remove any required parking from the site. Moreover, the proposed establishment meets the locational requirements of section 17.210.090.

4. The City’s over concentration of alcoholic beverage outlets creates negative impacts on the overall community, and it gener ates secondary effects of negative impacts on the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the subject census tract has four (4) existing off-sale establishments and the addition of a fifth license will further exacerbate the over concentration. Therefore, the addition of off sale beer and wine sales is not compatible with existing and planned land uses and is not consistent with this finding.

5. The current over concentration of licenses for off-sale alcohol strains City resources, aggravates existing crime problems, and negatively impacts public safety. The proposed use is within census tract 163.02, which is a " high" crime area at 170.7% of the city wide average. Crime problems in the area would be exacerbated due to the greater accessibility of alcoholic beverages that the proposed use would make possible. Furthermore, census tract 157.01 is located immediately south of the subject site, across East Madison

Page 3 of 3 ends

Avenue, and has the highest crime rate in the City with 533 offenses or 325% of the city wide average. Therefore, off-sale beer and wine sales is not consistent with this finding.

6. Four (4) off-sale licensed establishments currently exist in the subject census tract and four (4) more are in close proximity in the adjacent census tract, south of East Madison Avenue along North Second Street. Therefore, off -sale beer and wine sale outlets are conveniently located nearby at existing stores such as WalMart, Grocery Outlet, Liquor Town, and Sprouts Farmers Market, providing residents of the subject census tracts with adequate and available locations to obtain off-sale products in the area.

7. The proposed off-sale of beer and wine sales is located in a census tract with four (4) off-sale alcohol outlets. The California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control’s authorized number of off-sale licenses for this census tract is three (3); therefore there is no capacity for additional off-sale licenses. Furthermore, the crime rate is hi gh and adding an additional license to this location would be contradictory to the 2011 Moratorium.

Section 2. The City Council hereby denies the appeal and affirms the Planning Commission decision to deny CUP No. 2022-0013 for off-sale beer and wine sales at an existing convenience store in the C-N zone, on property located on the west side of North Second Street between East Madison and Oakdale Avenues, and addressed as 500 North Second Street.

A. The proposed project is exempt from the prov1s10ns of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) according to section 15061(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15061(b)(4) states that projects which are disapproved by a public agency are exempt from CEQA.

B. In accordance with State Business and Professions Code section 23817.5, the City of El Cajon is designated as a moratorium city because the number of off-sale licenses for alcoholic beverages exceeds the maximum of one per 2,500 residents.

Excessive off-sale licenses create negative impacts on the overall community and nearby residential neighborhoods, including but not limited to noise, traffic, litter, crime, and other public nuisances. Furthermore, the current oversaturation of alcoholic beverage outlets strains City resources, aggravates existing crime problems, and negatively impacts public safety. General Plan Policy 5-9.1 directs the City to improve public safety for all residents through community policing efforts and crime prevention measures. Therefore, the proposed off-sale beer and wine sales in an over concentrated census tract is not consistent with this finding.

C. The existing site and building are consistent with all applicable use and development standards. Furthermore, the proposed off-sale beer and wine sales does not directly affect the underlying zone's development, and would not remove any required parking from the site. Moreover, the proposed establishment meets the locational requirements of section 17.210.090.

D. The City's over concentration of alcoholic beverage outlets creates negative impacts on the overall community, and it generates secondary effects of negative Planning Commission No. 11077
impacts on the surrounding environment. Furthermore, the subject census tract has four existing off-sale establishments and the addition of a fifth license will further exacerbate the over concentration. Therefore, the addition of off sale beer and wine sales is not compatible with existing and planned land uses and is not consistent with this finding.

E. The current over concentration of licenses for off-sale alcohol strains City resources, aggravates existing crime problems, and negatively impacts public safety. The proposed use is within census tract 163.02, which is a "high" crime area at 170.7% of the city wide average. Crime problems in the area would be exacerbated due to the greater accessibility of alcoholic beverages that the proposed use would make possible. Furthermore, census tract 157.01 is located immediately south of the subject site, across E. Madison Ave., and has the highest crime rate in the City with 533 offenses or 325 % of the city wide average. Therefore, off-sale beer and wine sales is not consistent with this finding.

F. Four off-sale licensed establishments currently exist in the subject census tract and four more are in close proximity in the adjacent census tract, south of E. Madison Ave. along North Second Street. Therefore, off-sale beer and wine sale outlets are conveniently located nearby at existing stores such as WalMart, Grocery Outlet, Liquor Town, and Sprouts Farmers Market.

G. The proposed off-sale of beer and wine sales is located in a census tract with four off-sale alcohol outlets. The California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control's authorized number of off-sale licenses for this census tract is three; therefore there is no capacity for additional off-sale licenses. Furthermore, the crime rate is high and adding an additional license to this location would be contradictory to the 2011 moratorium.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that based upon said findings of fact, the El Cajon Planning Commission hereby DENIES Conditional Use Permit No. 2022-0013 for off-sale beer and wine sales at an existing convenience store in the C-N zone located at 500 N. Second St.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Applicant, 7-Eleven, Inc., submits this Conditional Use Permit Application to request approval for the off-site sale of beer and wine for its store located at 500 N 2nd Street, El Cajon, CA 92021. A finding that issuance of a Type 20 beer and wine license will serve the Public Convenience or Necessity is also requested. Undue Concentration: The Applicant is aware of and desires to be respectful of the City of El Cajon’s policies regarding adding alcohol licenses in areas of statutorily undue concentration. To that end, the Applicant will apply for a new Type 20 ABC License for this 7-Eleven Store, but has also located and will agree to purchase a second ABC License (21-194540), which it will then transfer out of the City of El Cajon altogether, or in the alternative facilitate the cancelation of the Type 21 license. As such, the approval of this request will not increase the number of ABC Licenses within the City of El Cajon and specifically not in Council District 2 where this 7-Eleven Store is located. Please see the Type 21 ABC License information below. ABC License Number ABC License Type Licensee Business Name Licensee Address 194540 (Transfer out of El Cajon) 21 (off-sale General) Vons 2367 950 N. 2nd Street, El Cajon, CA 92021 The Convenience Market currently offers a variety of goods and services that customers expect at a full service “one stop shop” convenience market, including basic grocery needs, medicines, household goods, childcare products, and many more everyday household items. The Applicant is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit authorizing the sale of beer and wine to further provide convenient shopping to the surrounding community because beer and wine falls within the common type of goods that customers want and expect from a modern convenience market. Beer and wine sales will be incidental to the overall assortment of grocery items and comprise less than 10% of the retail shelf space. The Applicant is cognizant of the need to make sure the incidental beer and wine sales contemplated at this site do not result in adverse impacts to the surrounding neighborhood and will volunteer the following types of conditions of approval to be included in the CUP: • Prior to selling any alcohol at the project site, the Applicant shall: (1) apply for one Type 20 ABC license for 500 N. 2nd Street; and (2) cause a second Type 21 Alcohol License to be either cancelled or transferred out of El Cajon -- such that there is no increase in off-sale ABC licenses within the City/Council District. • Hours restriction on the sale of beer and wine (proposed permitted hours from 8 am to 12 midnight) • No malt liquor or fortified wine products shall be sold. • No beer or malt beverages may be sold in single containers. • Beer and wine products shall not exceed 10% of the total sales floor area. • No exterior advertising of beer and wine • Digital surveillance cameras installed on premises. • No coin operated video or arcade games, and • Cooler doors for beer and wine shall be locked during hours when beer and wine cannot be sold. Corporate policies are in place for the responsible retailing of alcoholic beverages. Proactive security measures, and conditions made part of the CUP will also ensure the sale of alcohol and 24-hour use does not result in Applicant’s Project Description,
Findings, & Additional Materials

adverse impacts or nuisance activity. Additionally, all employees involved in the sale of alcoholic beverages must first successfully complete the Department of ABC’s LEAD Training or equivalent program. There are no proposed physical changes to the site as a part of this Conditional Use Permit Application. The business operates 24 hours, daily, with 3-4 shifts per day, providing a local shopping option for customers at any time that suits their schedule. The business is fully equipped with an on-site security system, with interior and exterior surveillance camera coverage, and is available to local law enforcement and City personnel upon request. The site is illuminated with interior and exterior lighting systems, bright enough to fully illuminate the store and parking areas, making people and objects clearly visible, but not so bright as to disturb nearby businesses and residents.

Conditional Use Permit Findings A. The proposed use is consistent with applicable goals, policies, and programs of the general plan, and with any applicable specific plan; Yes, the proposed sale of beer and wine at an existing local 7-Eleven Store is consistent with the applicable goals, policies, and programs of the general plan. The subject 7-Eleven Store is an existing commercial business located in the Neighborhood Commercial (NC) Zone. According to the El Cajon General Plan, the NC Zone is intended for commercial uses, which include “general retail uses emphasizing those associated with daily convenience shopping.” This is exactly the type of business that 7-Eleven currently operates as at this location, with its modern appearance, well maintained store, and attractive landscaping. B. The proposed site plan and building design are consistent with all applicable use and development standards; Yes, this is an existing business with an approved site plan and building design consistent with develoment standards. This Conditional Use Permit Application is simply requesting to add incidental beer and wine sales to an existing convenience store. No construction or alterations are proposed. C. The proposed use will be operated in a manner that is compatible with existing and planned land uses in the vicinity of the proposed use; 7-Eleven has operated at this location for several years and is compatible with existing and planned land uses in the vicinity. The continued operation of this 7-Eleven store, with the approval of ancillary beer and wine sales, will not be materially detrimental to this neighborhood or to the enjoyment of other persons located in the vicinity. The incidental sale of beer and wine are typical of a full-service convenience market. The volunteer conditions will ensure beer and wine sales are incidental to the overall product mix of grocery and convenience items and will ensure the sale of alcohol does not create nuisance impacts. D. The proposed use and project design will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and general welfare, including but not limited to matters of noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors, and hazards or excessive concentrations of traffic; and 7-Eleven is an existing business with an approved project design. There is no construction proposed as part of this CUP application seeking authorization for incidental beer and wine sales that would cause adverse impacts related to noise, smoke, dust, fumes, vibration, odors and hazards or excessive concentration of traffic. The addition of a small amount of beer and wine sales at this existing 7-Eleven Store will not aggravate existing problems in the neighborhood associated with alcohol sales, such as loitering, public drunkenness, sales to minors, noise, and littering. 7-Eleven will implement policies and volunteer the restrictions on the sale of alcohol as described in this Application. E. The proposed use is in the best interest of public convenience and necessity. The sale of beer and wine for off-site consumption, while incidental to the overall goods and services provided by 7-Eleven, is an important aspect in maintaining the ability to act as a full-service convenience store. The continued operation of this store, with strict adherence to the imposed conditions, proper management and

supervision, will continue to provide a retail service that is beneficial, convenient, and necessary for the community. 7-Eleven takes the responsibility of being an alcohol retailer very seriously and will be vigilant in its policies and practices to ensure that the sale of alcohol does not negatively impact surrounding residents, businesses or sensitive uses. It is in the best interest of both the Applicant and the surrounding community to have a safe and responsible convenience store where patrons can purchase all of their everyday household needs and grocery items. This local convenience market operates as a safe and responsible business in the city of El Cajon and will continue to do so with the approval for the off-site sale of beer and wine. Therefore, the approval of this Conditional Use Permit does serve the best interest of public convenience or necessity. Undue Concentration: The Applicant is aware of and desires to be respectful of the City of El Cajon’s policies regarding adding alcohol licenses in areas of statutorily undue concentration. To that end, the Applicant will apply for a new Type 20 ABC License for this 7-Eleven Store, but has also located and will agree to purchase a second ABC License (21-194540), which it will then transfer out of the City of El Cajon altogether, or in the alternative facilitate the cancelation of the Type 21 license. As such, the approval of this request will not increase the number of ABC Licenses within the City of El Cajon and specifically not in Council District 2 where this 7-Eleven Store is located.

Conditional Use Permit Alcohol Findings A. The proposed establishment meets the locational requirements of Section 17.210.090. According to the El Cajon Municipal Code, Section 17.210.090 states: A. No new off-sale alcoholic beverage establishment shall be located within 600 feet of residentially zoned property, public or private schools, health care facilities, religious facilities, and parks or playgrounds, except: 1. A general retail store, or grocery store, or retail pharmacy with greater than 10,000 square feet of gross floor area and a maximum of 10 percent of the gross floor area devoted to the sale and display of off-sale alcoholic beverages; or 2. A convenience market with a maximum of 10 percent of the retail display area devoted to the sale and display of alcoholic beverages, limited to off-sale beer and wine, non-fortified products only. Retail display area includes all floor area within the establishment that is accessible and within view of customers, including aisles, and floor area occupied by shelves, counters, and refrigerator coolers. B. For purposes of this section, distances shall be measured between the closest property lines of the affected locations. (Ord. 4994 § 3, 2013) The Applicant, 7-Eleven, does meet the locational requirements of Section 17.201.090 because this existing business is a convenience market which proposes 10 percent or less of the retail display area to be devoted to the sale and display of alcoholic beverages. The Applicant agrees to limit the alcoholic sales to beer and non-fortified wine products only. Please see the attached Floor Plan showing the proposed alcohol shelving and storage areas. B. The proposed alcoholic beverage sales activity will not aggravate existing problems in the neighborhood created by the sale of alcohol such as loitering, public drunkenness, alcoholic beverage sales to minors, noise and littering. The addition of a small amount of beer and wine sales at this existing 7-Eleven Store will not aggravate existing problems in the neighborhood associated with alcohol sales, such as loitering, public drunkenness, sales to minors, noise, and littering. 7-Eleven will maintain a safe and responsible business in the City of El Cajon, and will continue to do so with the addition of incidental off-site sale of beer and wine. Specifically, the Applicant will implement policies and volunteer the following types of conditions of approval to be included in the CUP to deter loitering, public drunkenness, alcoholic beverage sales to minors, noise and littering: • Hours restriction on the sale of beer and wine (proposed permitted hours from 8 am to 12 midnight) • No malt liquor or fortified wine products shall be sold • No beer or malt beverages may be sold in single containers • Beer and wine products shall not exceed 10% of the total sales floor area • No exterior advertising of beer and wine • Digital surveillance cameras installed on premises • No coin operated video or arcade games, and • Cooler doors for beer and wine shall be locked during hours when beer and wine cannot be sold.

Corporate policies are in place for the responsible retailing of alcoholic beverages as well as proactive security measures, and conditions made part of the CUP will ensure the sale of alcohol and 24-hour use does not result in adverse impacts or nuisance activity. Additionally, all employees involved in the sale of alcoholic beverages must first successfully complete the Department of ABC’s LEAD Training or equivalent program. The business is fully equipped with an on-site security system, with interior and exterior surveillance camera coverage, and is available to local law enforcement and City personnel upon request. The site is illuminated with interior and exterior lighting systems, bright enough to fully illuminate the store and parking areas, making people and objects clearly visible, but not so bright as to disturb nearby businesses and residents. C. The proposed establishment will not detrimentally affect nearby neighborhoods considering the distance of the alcohol establishment to residential buildings, schools, parks, playgrounds or recreational areas, nonprofit youth facilities, places of worship, hospitals, alcohol or other drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities, county social service offices, or other alcoholic beverages sales activity establishments. The store is located on a commercial corner surrounded by commercial uses. Retail activity is focused along N. 2nd Street and thus, not directed toward any nearby residents and/or sensitive uses, and has served this community and surrounding area for years without issue. The Applicant is aware of the potential negative impacts from alcohol sales and is commitment to responsible alcohols sales and will continue to serve the neighborhood without negative impacts to the nearby neighborhoods, schools and all other sensitive use establishments. The continuation of this established convenience market, operating with strict adherence to the volunteered conditions placed on the Conditional Use Permit (and any other police and staff recommended conditions) will remain proper in relation to any sensitive uses nearby. The nearby residential uses have not and will not be detrimentally affected by the continuation of the existing convenience market with the addition of beer and wine sales as a result of the strict adherence to corporate policies regarding the responsible retailing of alcoholic beverages, proactive security measures, and any conditions made part of the Conditional Use Permit. As part of this policy and training, employees are expected to conduct regular site walks and inspections of the premise throughout the day in order to promptly deter any loitering, panhandling or other objectionable activity. Additionally, proper and adequate signage exists onsite, prohibiting loitering. 7-Eleven will work to ensure there are no open alcoholic beverages or consumption of alcohol on the premise. Signage will also be posted to this effect to properly inform individuals of such prohibition. The Applicant is cognizant of the need to make sure the incidental beer and wine sales contemplated at this site do not result in adverse impacts to the surrounding neighborhood or school and is agreeable to the above types of conditions being made part of the CUP. D. The proposed establishment is located in a census tract with capacity for additional off-sale licenses, as defined by the California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control, with low to average crime rates, as defined by the police department annually, subject to the condition that an additional off-sale establishment will not be contradictory to a moratorium. (Ord. 4994 §3, 2013) According to the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, there are three (3) authorized off-site

licenses for Census Tract 163.02, and currently there are four (4) existing off-site licenses. Undue Concentration: The Applicant is aware of and desires to be respectful of the City of El Cajon’s policies regarding adding alcohol licenses in areas of statutorily undue concentration. To that end, the Applicant will apply for a new Type 20 ABC License for this 7-Eleven Store, but has also located and will agree to purchase a second ABC License (21-194540), which it will then transfer out of the City of El Cajon altogether, or in the alternative facilitate the cancelation of the Type 21 license. As such, the approval of this request will not increase the number of ABC Licenses within the City of El Cajon and specifically not in Council District 2 where this 7-Eleven Store is located. Additionally, as stated in the City of El Cajon’s Municipal Code, the stated purpose for enacting the chapter on Conditional Use Permits for alcohol sales is “to provide opportunities for alcoholic beverage sales establishments to operate in a mutually beneficial relationship to each other and to other commercial and civic services” and further “to promote a healthy and safe business environment in the city of El Cajon through appropriate and consistent land use regulations and to encourage the establishment of businesses that will benefit both the local economy and residents while not placing an undue strain on city resources or surrounding businesses.” The continued operation of this 7-Eleven store with the addition of incidental beer and wine sales and subject to the volunteer conditions of approval, accomplishes the stated purpose of the Municipal Code. 7-Eleven #36485

EL CAJON POLICE DEPARTMENT
CHIEF MIKE MOULTON
2020 ABC REPORT
(LEVELS OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY BY CENSUS TRACT)
A comparison of major crime (Part 1) and minor arrests (Part 2) occurring in a Census Tract is considered a viable indicator of the level of criminal activity within the area. This type of criminal activity index is often used by Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) to assist in determinations regarding the issuance of liquor licenses.

During the year 2020, the averag
e index total for the 29 Census Tracts contained in whole or in part in El Cajon was 164. In general, a “very high” crime area is considered to be greater than 200% over the average index (461 or greater), a “high” crime area is 120‐200% (275‐460), an “average” crime area is 80‐119% (183‐274), and a “low” crime area is consid
ered to be less than 80% (182 or less) of the
average crime index.

The statistical information used for this was taken from a report generated by the Au tomated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS) on March 24, 2021. It does not include those incidents that could not be placed in a geographical Census Tract at the time the report was generated, or those incidents that were not yet reported or entered into the system.

PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 10998

A RESOLUTION TERMINATING DEEMED APPROVED STATUS FOR
OFF-SALE ALCOHOL SALES AT 950 NORTH SECOND STREET IN THE C-N (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL) ZONE, APN: 494-222-51,
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL
(NC).

WHEREAS, the El Cajon Planning Commission duly advertised and held a public hearing on September 3, 2019, to consider the termination of deemed approved status for a former off-sale alcohol sales establishment in the C-N zone, on property located on the west side of North Second Street between Broadway and Clarendon Street, and addressed as 950 North Second Street; and
WHEREAS, an alcohol beverage outlet was established in March 3, 1987 authorizing off-sale alcohol sales - of beer, wine and distilled spirits- from the subject property; and
WHEREAS, on September 10, 2013, the El Cajon City Council adopted a new alcohol sales ordinance which became effective on November 1, 2013, and applied deemed approved status to all existing off-sale alcohol establishments, including the subject property; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to El Cajon Municipal Code section 17.210.250(B)(3)(d) which states that an off-sale alcohol establishment shall be subject to deemed approved status termination when the off-sale alcoholic beverage sales activity voluntarily discontinues active operation for more than 180 consecutive days or ceases to be licensed by the Alcoholic Beverage Control; and
WHEREAS, on August 3, 2018, the Community Development staff noted that the subject property was an inactive alcohol beverage outlet; and WHEREAS, on July 22, 2019, the Community Development Director notified the subject property owner of inactive alcohol beverage sales status and pending termination of "Deemed Approved" status; and
WHEREAS, the evidence presented to the Plam1ing Commission at the public hearing includes the following:

A. The termination of the deemed approved status is consistent with General Plan Objective 9-4, that "All commercial development shall be subject to ... strict Pla1ming Commission Resolution No. 10998
standards of performance." Furthermore, in accordance with General Plan Objective 9-4.11, "removal of outdated, nuisance or incompatible buildings shall be encouraged ... to make room for new uses compatible with the General Plan." In accordance with the "Deemed Approved" Ordinance, the convenience market has ceased alcohol beverage sales and the store has been vacant for more than 180 consecutive days.

B. The termination of deemed approved status for off-sale alcohol sales reduces the number of off-sales outlets and the potential to increase issues related to the sale of alcohol, such as loitering, public drunkenness, alcoholic beverage sales to minors, noise and littering.

C. The El Cajon City Council desires to ensure a healthy and safe business environment, consistent with the standards and guidelines of the ABC for alcohol sales. As such, it is in the best interest of public health and safety to reduce the number of off-sale alcoholic beverage establishments in census tracts with an undue concentration.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the El Cajon Planning Commission as follows:

1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and include the findings of the Planning Commission.

2. The El Cajon Planning Commission finds that the proposed project is not subject the provisions of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.

3. The El Cajon Planning Commission hereby TERMINATES Deemed Approved Status for off-sale alcohol sales for a former off-sale outlet in the C-N zone on property located at 950 North Second Street.

Agenda Report
Agenda Item 8.

DATE: January 10, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Public of Works
SUBJECT: All-Way Stop Sign Request on Graves Avenue at Lloyd Street and Rex Hall Street
RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

Periodically, the Public Works Department receives requests to investigate the need for additional regulatory signs on city streets. Nearby residents have expressed concern about the safety of traffic failing to yield and stop at this intersection.

Existing Conditions
Graves Avenue is a north-south “residential” street that extends from Broadway to Lloyd Street (westbound) and Rex Hall (eastbound), and which has a residential speed limit of 25 miles per hour per the California Vehicle Code Section 22352, "Prima Facie Speed Limits." A “Yield” sign on Graves Avenue controls the intersection with no stop signs on Lloyd Street or Rex Hall Street. Approximately 2,000 vehicles per day travel through this intersection. The corner sight distance was measured to determine if a vehicle traveling from Graves Avenue has adequate sight distance to enter safely onto Lloyd Street, in part due to the configuration of the intersection. Based on the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, the minimum corner sight distance of 275 feet is desirable for a street with a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour. The field investigation revealed that the available corner sight distance is less than the minimum requirement. Research of City records shows that three (3) collisions have occurred at this intersection during the past five (5) years.

All-Way Stop Sign Analysis on Graves Avenue/Lloyd Street The City of El Cajon follows the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control (CAMUTCD) guidelines. It uses a “point” system developed by the City of San Diego to evaluate the need for the installation of all-way stop signs. Existing site conditions, traffic volumes, site distance obstructions, school proximity, and accident history are criteria used to determine all-way stops.

A minimum of 30 points out of 50 is usually required to install all-way stop signs. The data collected at this intersection revealed that 17 points were tallied at this location.

Per the point system guidelines, this intersection does not satisfy all of the required all-way stop sign traffic volume and accident history warrants. The less-than-desirable minimum sight distance available and the need to reduce the speed of vehicles traveling in excess of 25 miles per hour to allow the safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles crossing at the intersection is a compelling justification for the installation of an all-way stop.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The project is exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guideline 15301(c) (Class 1) as it is a minor alteration of an existing public street involving negligible or no expansion of an existing use.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approximately $2,500 for the installation of all-way stops signs and pavement legends.

Sufficient funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Traffic Maintenance Budget (101521).

RESOLUTION NO. ___-23

RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH ALL-WAY STOP SIGNS ON

GRAVES AVENUE AT THE INTERSECTION OF LLOYD STREET

WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of El Cajon ("City") is vitally important, and that from time to time vehicular traffic control measures are necessary to protect pedestrian traffic along and across public roads; and

WHEREAS, Graves Avenue is a north-south “residential” street that extends from Broadway southbound to its intersection with westbound Lloyd Street and eastbound Rex Hall Street, and has a prima facie residential speed limit of 25 miles per hour as described in California Vehicle Code Section 22352(b)(1) ; and

WHEREAS, a “Yield” sign on Graves Avenue controls the intersection with no stop signs on Lloyd Street; and

WHEREAS, approximately 2,000 vehicles per day travel through this intersection and due to the unusual configuration of the intersection the corner sight distance for southbound traffic on Graves Avenue is less than the minimum requirement of 275 feet desirable for a street with a posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour as set out in the Caltrans Highway Design Manual; and

WHEREAS, City staff found that over a five-year period, three (3) collisions have occurred at Graves Avenue at the intersection of Lloyd and Rex Hall Streets; and

WHEREAS, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices uses a “point” system to evaluate existing site conditions, traffic volumes, site dista nce obstructions, proximity to schools, and accident history as criteria used in the determination of the need to install all-way stops; and

WHEREAS, results of the data collected at this intersection revealed that the total of points does not meet the criteria for the installation of an all-way stop; and

WHEREAS, the City Council evaluated Graves Avenue at the intersection of Lloyd and Rex Hall Street s and considered all of the evidence submitted, including the less - than-desirable sight distance and the need to reduce the speed of vehicles traveling in excess of 25 miles per hour to allow the safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles crossing at the intersection both oral and documentary, and determined that all-way stop signs should be installed at the above -referenced location for the health, safety and welfare of the residents.
