Agenda Report
Agenda Item 4.

DATE: July 23, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Public of Works
SUBJECT: Continuation of Emergency for Storm Damage Repairs to Public Facilities RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, proclaiming the Continuation of Emergency for Storm Damage Repairs to Public Facilities.

BACKGROUND:

This report provides an update on the Emergency Storm Damage Repairs to public facilities incurred by our City due to recent storms. On February 15, 2024, the City Manager declared an emergency for immediate repairs to protect surrounding property, maintain the integrity of critical stormwater infrastructure, and preserve life and safety. On February 27, 2024, the City Council ratified the City Manager's Declaration and established a Declaration of Emergency with Resolution No. 021-24. The following is an overview of actions taken and next steps:

Stormwater Channels - COMPLETED
On March 27, 2024, Jimenez Inc. dba MJC Construction (MJC Construction) completed the concrete channel bottom and wall repairs on the County Channel and Forester Creek. The repairs included water diversion and the removal and replacement of steel-reinforced concrete.

The initial anticipated cost estimate for repairs was $200,000. With all the work completed, the final amount was $150,000.

Collapsed Trees - COMPLETED
West Coast Arborist completed the removal of a collapsed tree on Avocado Avenue and a tree obstructing the natural storm channel along the east side of Avocado Avenue. The estimated cost for removal is $10,000, with the final cost being $11,281.25.

Slope Erosion - IN PROCESS
On March 12, 2024, Kleinfelder, a geotechnical engineering company, visited the site to observe the slide area. The geologist completed the geologic mapping of the western slope of Avocado Avenue north of Skywood Drive and provided preliminary recommendations on addressing the slope erosion. The recommendations included methods to mitigate the existing slope erosion, including digging back the upper ten feet of the slope to a shallower gradient, removing overhangs and vertical slope sections, and installing a catchment structure along the slope toe to impede or slow any failed material. Staff coordinated the work to remove immediate hazards with contractors experienced with slope remediation techniques. .!!!!_ Valley of opportunity
~ ~ ~
C'o ~ '\.o,
"'Poratel\
Montano Pipeline completed the work associated with the upper slope area (digging back to a shallower gradient) on April 30, 2024. The approximate cost for this work is $262,656.

Kleinfelder is performing the catchment structure design. A sonic core drilling subcontractor performed work on May 15 and 16, 2024. The data generated from the sonic core drilling subcontractor will allow Kleinfelder to specify the type, length, and spacing/layout of the rock anchors for the rock netting mitigation system. Geotechnical engineering work is estimated to cost $225,000. Once the design of the catchment structure is completed, Montano Pipeline will provide the installation cost for approval.

A professional Land Surveying consultant marked the City of El Cajon's slope-and-drainage easement, recorded in 1973, and confirmed the jurisdictional boundaries. The #2 southbound lane of Avocado Avenue remains closed to traffic. Initially, there were some assumptions that several private property owners had liability in the slope failure. However, after further investigation, it is apparent that the City will bear responsibility for repair and mitigation measures. Surveying work is estimated to cost $15,000.

Wells Park Baseball Dugouts - IN PROCESS
The Wells Park dugout roofs on the baseball fields collapsed during the storm due to heavy rain and moisture. Staff coordinated the structural design and replacement of both structures with MJC Construction. The contractor completed the demolition of both structures. Both structures will be pushed out to avoid new conflicts with an existing water line. The estimated cost to replace both structures at the new location is $50,000.

On March 12, 2024, City staff attended a mandatory meeting regarding authorized California Disaster Assistance Act (CDAA) funding for San Diego County for the January 2024 Winter Storm to help impacted communities recover from the event. City staff submitted the necessary documentation to apply for reimbursement utilizing the CDAA Program. If it is determined that our emergency expenditures are eligible costs, Cal OES will reimburse the City for up to 75% of eligible repair work costs related to this emergency.

In June 2024, the City received three letters of approval from Cal OES, approving the 75% reimbursement for the completed work on the stormwater channels, collapsed trees, the purchase of sand/sandbags, and an administration allowance. Staff will submit the pending reimbursement requests after the slope and dugout repair work is completed.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

Emergency repairs to publicly-owned service facilities necessary to maintain service essential to the public health, safety, or general welfare are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to section 15269(b) (Emergency Projects) of the State CEQA Guidelines
FISCAL IMPACT:

Sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget in Wastewater Maintenance (650720) for the remaining anticipated repair costs of $500,000.

The expected total cost for this emergency is approximately $950,000.

DATE: July 23, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Richards, Interim Director of Public Works - Operations SUBJECT: Continuation of Emergency for Sewer System Repairs RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, proclaiming the Continuation of Emergency for Sewer System Repairs.

BACKGROUND:

This report provides an update on the Emergency Sewer System Repairs of the sewer pipe running north up Graves Avenue from Beech Street to Lloyd Street, passing under Interstate 8.

On May 29, 2024, the City Manager declared an emergency, recognizing the potential public health and environmental impacts, risks to existing utilities and infrastructure, private property, and potential impacts on freeway travel. On June 11, 2024, the City Council ratified the City Manager's declaration and established a Declaration of Emergency with Resolution No. 087-24.

On June 25, 2024, the City Council proclaimed the continuation of emergency repairs to the sewer system with Resolution No. 093-24.

The following is an overview of actions taken and next steps:

City staff immediately contracted with A1 Total Service Plumbing (A1) upon the Declaration of Emergency. The A1's assessment determined that the top portion of the pipe's liner had failed, causing the liner to fold inward and reduce the pipe's capacity by over 80%. The recommended repair method was to use a robotic cutter to remove the failed liner and replace it with a new one. During the liner removal operation, A1's equipment was compromised by a partial collapse of pipe and soil on the northern portion of the pipe closer to Lloyd Street, impeding the rehabilitation of the existing sewer pipeline. A1's approximate cost is $1,060,000, and it includes around-the-clock sewer bypass operations until June 29, 2024.

Staff coordinated with Caltrans, Ardurra Engineering, and Rove Engineering Construction Company (Rove) the installation of a parallel sewer pipeline across Interstate 8. Ardurra Engineering's support services proposal is $65,000, and Rove's proposal is $1,972,491 to bore a steel-encased sewer pipeline within Caltrans right of way and provide 24-hour sewer and stormwater bypass services. The work is estimated to be completed in August 2024. Staff notified residents adjoining the construction areas.

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 9.

DATE: July 23, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Graham Mitchell, City Manager
SUBJECT: "No Panhandling" Signs - Re-Design and Locations RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council provides direction to staff on re-design options and locations for "No Panhandling" signs.

BACKGROUND:

In the summer of 2018, the City installed a series of "No Panhandling" signs at key locations throughout the City. On April 12, 2022, the City Council provided direction to modify the sign design, which was accomplished. On May 14, 2024, the City Council directed staff to present several re-design "No Panhandling" sign options and to address recommended sites for sign installation.

Staff developed a series of different signs to share with the City Council which encourage motorists not to give money to panhandlers, links the giving of money with supporting drug and alcohol addiction, and encourages those panhandling to seek temporary shelter. Once in temporary shelter, City programs can help individuals experiencing homelessness secure long-term permanent housing. Staff will seek City Council feedback on which design features the City Council wishes to use.

This report includes a map showing existing locations where signs are installed. Staff will seek City Council feedback on other locations where signs should be installed.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

This action requesting City Council feedback on public advisory signage is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). Re-design of existing public advisory signs and the addition of such signs in new locations is exempt pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c) because it is a minor alteration to existing public facilities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost to manufacture and install each sign is approximately $600.

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 10.

DATE: July 23, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Deyanira Brito, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Update on Homeless Programs and Services
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receives the homeless programs and services report and, if desired, provides feedback, recommendations, and direction on homeless-related programming and funding.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this agenda item is to provide a report on the homeless programs and services using city, federal and state funding sources. This report provides a summary of programs and services, program outcomes, new and expanded services, a program assessment, recommendations and a conclusion. Previous reports included the program outcomes and expenditures in a table format. This is now an attachment to this report.

For the past six months, from January 1 through June 30, 2024, expenditures from all funding sources were $754,418. The majority of these were from Federal and State sources. The General Fund expenditures totaled $101,841, primarily for outreach activities and cleanup events. In the past six months, 2,157 persons received services. Of that total, the following were housed in different housing options:
31 in emergency shelter,
256 in bridge/transitional housing,
33 in supportive housing, and
129 in permanently housed.

Summary of Existing Programs and Services
Since January 2020, the City has funded or operated 19 different homeless-related programs (including new programs) or projects, and allocated over $6.4 million in general (local), federal, and state funds to support those programs. The programs have one of three aims:

Housing homeless individuals (both temporary and permanent housing),1.

Preventing homelessness, or2.

Addressing community impacts as a result of homelessness. 3. .!!!!_ Valley of Opportunity

2. Program expenditures and outcomes as shown in Attachment 1 of this report in alphabetical order for the past six months.

3. A Way Back Home Program
The Salvation Army's (TSA) “A Way Back Home” program reunites homeless individuals in El Cajon with their families by providing assistance with transportation, food and sometimes an overnight stay while en route. The program was funded in FY 2023-2024 with LMIHAF of $10,000 and was completed as of June 30, 2024. Staff recommends extending this program from July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025.

Crisis House Housing Navigation, Outreach and Case Management Services Program Through this program, Crisis House provided essential services necessary to reach out to unsheltered homeless persons, connect them with emergency shelter, housing and critical services. This included street-based homeless outreach and a case management model that is person-centered and focused on engaging with disconnected people to build trust and engage them with services and resources that can increase their health and end their homelessness.

The Housing Navigator and Outreach workers referred clients to other active programs in El Cajon administered by ECTLC and Home Start. This program received $40,000 in PLHA funding during FY 2023-2024. The program concluded in March 2024.

Crisis House Case Management Services for Emergency Sleeping Cabins In May 2024, Crisis House began to provide wraparound services to the clients referred to and placed at the Emergency Sleeping Cabins in coordination with Amikas and Meridian Baptist Church. The services will continue from July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025.

Crisis House Homeless Outreach
On November 10, 2020, City Council approved the First Amendment to FY 2020-2021 Annual Action Plan that re-allocated and appropriated $700,000 in CDBG funds to assist Crisis House in acquiring a new site to serve the community of El Cajon. In return for the City's assistance, Crisis House signed an agreement that requires them to serve El Cajon residents for a total of 10 years (expiration year 2031). From 2021 to present, Crisis House continues to provide services to homeless persons and victims of domestic violence in El Cajon. This program will continue from July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025.

East County Homeless Task Force
Since 2019, the City has annually allocated $5,000 from the General Fund to assist in sustaining the East County Homeless Task Force (ECHTF); although ECHTF did not request funding this past year. The ECHTF plays a role in coordinating efforts in the East County region and helping to understand homeless service needs. In addition to financial support, the City Manager previously participated on the organization's steering committee. An option to extend is recommended for the ECHTF for the service period July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025.

East County Transitional Living Center (ECTLC) Homeless Outreach Services ECTLC also provides street-based outreach and case management. Outreach is provided in the form of pop-up events throughout the City to highlight the various programs and resources available at ECTLC, as well as street-based outreach. Persons taking advantage of such services at ECTLC also receive person-centered case management that leads to a path of self-sufficiency. This program received $90,000 in PLHA funding, and it is expected to be fully spent in the course of a three-year period.

ECTLC Operation of an Emergency Shelter
This program will continue to offer emergency shelter beds for the homeless population (up to 60 days), food and case management. Outreach workers and case managers at ECTLC will be referring clients to Home Start’s Rental Assistance/Rapid-Rehousing Program. ECTLC was allocated $307,510 in PLHA funds for a three-year period. This funding ensures continuing shelter availability for El Cajon homeless and will be used to supplement the CDBG allocation of $100,000.

Emergency Motel Stays Program
In 2020 and 2021, the City Council awarded $145,000 in CDBG-CV funding to Home Start, Inc. for the provision of an emergency motel voucher program to assist homeless families and individuals with immediate shelter to reduce their risk of exposure and to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and serve as a gateway to permanent housing. The program concluded in 2021, and a new, refined Emergency (Scatter-Site) Motel program was implemented, with a new allocation of CDBG-CV funding (see Emergency Scatter-Site Motel Program below).

Emergency Scatter-Site Motel Program
Between May 2021 and March 2023, City Council awarded $664,807 in CDBG-CV funding to Home Start, Inc. for the provision of a refined emergency motel program to assist homeless families and individuals with immediate shelter, to reduce their risk of exposure and to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This program provided emergency motel room vouchers, housing placement and emergency housing assistance for homeless families and individuals impacted by COVID-19 that are housing-focused and housing-ready, with the goal of attaining permanent housing. This program was active during FY 2023-2024, and concluded in April 2024. For the continuation of motel voucher assistance, the City Council approved FY 2024-2025 CDBG funding for Home Start’s Emergency Housing Placement Program (see Emergency Housing Placement Program under New and Expanded Programs below).

Emergency Shelter Program
Historically, the City has contracted with the East County Transitional Living Center (ECTLC) to fund the Emergency Shelter Program using CDBG funds. This non-faith-based program provides emergency shelter, case management, meals and other services for families and individuals experiencing homelessness. ECTLC was awarded one-time CDBG-CV funding in 2020 and 2021 (totaling $260,985), $100,000 in CDBG funding and PLHA funding in 2023-2024 (see ECTLC Operation of Emergency Shelter Program below). The CDBG-CV funding concluded March 2023. This CDBG and PLHA funded program will continue from July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025.

Homeless Outreach & Flexible Housing Assistance Program In September 2020, the City contracted with Home Start to provide a dedicated Homeless Outreach Specialist along with flexible housing assistance funds to help homeless individuals and families in El Cajon. The Outreach Specialist (or Navigator) connects homeless households with services and works to secure permanent housing. The program was previously funded by LMIHAF. However, in FY 2023-2024, the Outreach Specialist (or Navigator) is provided through a program funded by PLHA funds (see Home Start Homeless Housing Navigation and Outreach and Case Management Services Program below).

Homeless Outreach Events
Police Department staff accompanies homeless service providers every Friday in an effort to make contact and offer assistance to the City’s homeless community. When police officers are unavailable, service providers make an effort to continue with planned monthly outreach events.

The City's contribution to this program continues to be two police officers for three hours per event, as allowed by staff availability. These costs are funded by the General Fund and vary depending on the amount of outreach events attended.

Home Start Housing Navigation, Outreach and Case Management Services Program This program will fund the current street outreach team (formerly funded by LMIHAF) in collaboration with the El Cajon Homeless Outreach Team (HOT). Street outreach includes wraparound services for self-sufficiency, access to mental health and substance abuse programs, childcare referrals and employment training. Case management will be provided with all the services mentioned above. The total funding amount for this program is $792,531 and will be for a three-year period that started in October 2023.

Home Start Rental Assistance/Rapid Re-Housing Program
Rental assistance and rapid re-housing offered through Home Start is for homeless individuals or families earning less than 30% Area Median Income (AMI). Rental assistance must provide a minimum of six months of assistance to eligible households. Rapid re-housing must provide housing relocation and stabilization services and short- and/or medium-term rental assistance, as necessary, to help a homeless individual or family move as quickly as possible into permanent housing and achieve stability. This program received a total of $752,641 in PLHA funding that started October 2023 and will be used over the next three-year period.

Home Start Outreach and Homeless Services
On September 13 and 27, 2023, City Council approved to re-allocate CDBG funding to Home Start for the expansion of its street outreach team to address encampments in collaboration with El Cajon staff and other local homeless service providers. Street outreach includes wraparound services for clients for self-sufficiency and provides access to mental health and substance abuse programs, childcare referrals, and employment training. Services are provided to help find permanent housing solutions or a long-term housing program and clients are often referred to other active programs in the City. Home Start was allocated $185,000 in CDBG funds for FY 2023-2024. This program will remain active through the start of FY 2024-2025 until these one-time funds are fully expended.

Neighborhood Quality of Life Team
Between January 2020 and June 2024, the Neighborhood Quality of Life Team (a multi-departmental team) provided 704 clean-up events throughout the City. The team is supported by a contract for cleaning services with Urban Corps. The Neighborhood Quality of Life Team ensures that the City's parks, right-of-way, and drainage channels are clear of debris and trash. In the past six months, the City has removed 452 tons of debris from parks, streets and drainage channels and the City's contractor has removed at least 260 tons of debris.

Clean-up costs are funded solely by the General Fund.

Outreach Support Services Program
On April 26, 2022, City Council awarded $155,000 in available CDBG-CV funds to Home Start, Inc. to launch the Outreach Support Services Program. This program was created to bolster existing outreach efforts during the coronavirus pandemic. This program provides street-based outreach and hosts weekly outreach events for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. These outreach events provide connections to vital resources such as housing, food and employment for homeless families and individuals affected by COVID-19. Funds were fully expended by June 2024. However, Home Start was allocated additional PLHA funds for this same purpose during FY 2023-2024, to continue for the next three years (see Home Start Housing Navigation, Outreach and Case Management Services Program above).

Rotational Shelter Program
Historically, the City has awarded funding to the Interfaith Shelter Network's (ISN) Rotational Shelter Program using CDBG funds typically totaling $10,000. This program provides seasonal, nighttime shelter for homeless individuals and families at East County area places of worship that volunteer to provide shelter, meals and support. Seasonal shelter takes place between the end of January and the end of March each year. ISN has been awarded $10,893 for FY 2024-2025.

Under the Summary of Programs and Services section, staff described programs and services that are carried out by non-profit service providers and City staff that have been active since January 2020. The New and Expanded Programs section of the report focuses on the expansion of said programs and services and provides an update of the newly funded programs that were approved by the City Council during the budget process for FY 2024-2025.

New and Expanded Programs
Home Start Emergency Housing Placement Program
As part of the FY 2024-2025 CDBG Annual Action Plan, City Council approved $31,477 in CDBG funds on May 28, 2024, to provide homeless outreach and homeless services. Although previously funded using CDBG-CV funds and one-time CDBG funds, this program will focus on emergency housing placements (through motel vouchers) in coordination with the El Cajon Police Department. Outcomes for this program will be provided in the next six-month report.

Program Outcomes
Over the last four years, the City has allocated about $5.871 million to direct homeless assistance/housing programs, about $591,000 to neighborhood clean-up efforts, and $22,500 to the East County Homeless Task Force, for a total of over $6.4 million. Between January 2020 and June 2024, staff estimates that more than 10,700 individuals have received services, more than 3,500 of those were assisted with some form of housing or shelter, and from that number, over 1,200 individuals were assisted into permanent housing.

Attachment 1 of this report identifies the total expenditures of $4,877,495 between January 2020 and June 2024 (a total of 54 months) for each program with accomplishments discussed above, and the results of those expenditures.

Program Assessment
The staff believe that the majority of the City's active programs are functioning well to help achieve the goal of securing permanent housing for those experiencing homelessness and to address community impacts as a result of homelessness. In the last 4.5 years, over 1,200 persons have been assisted with finding permanent housing.

The El Cajon Outreach & Flexible Housing Assistance Program has become an essential component of the City’s ability to respond to homelessness, particularly in providing a Housing Navigator/Outreach worker. This program is no longer funded by LMIHAF. However, the same concept has been applied to Home Start’s Housing Navigator, Outreach and Case Management Services Programs, funded by PLHA funds. Home Start, Inc. has proven to be a valuable partner and player in the region, and continues to have knowledgeable staff and responsive services to meet the needs. Home Start, Inc. appears to be effective at finding resources, establishing and maintaining relationships, utilizing the resources prudently and only as needed, and meeting the compliance and program requirements of all of its funding partners.

The A Way Back Home Program continues to fill a gap in services for those homeless individuals who have family members that are willing to receive and support them. Without this program, homeless individuals who want to “go home” would be without resources to connect with those family members who are willing to receive them, particularly due to the high cost of transportation.

The Emergency Shelter (through ECTLC) and the Rotational Shelter (through the Interfaith Shelter Network) continue to address the need for basic overnight shelter and services for those experiencing homelessness in the City. Each fulfills a different need in the community and staff consider the programs cost-effective and essential.

The Outreach and Support Service programs, through Home Start, Inc., ECTLC and Crisis House work to enroll and connect individuals with vital resources in their community that will assist them in securing permanent or bridge housing. These programs provide pop-up events and serve to connect homeless individuals to other programs available among all service providers in El Cajon and throughout San Diego County.

The City’s Neighborhood Quality of Life Team and the Homeless Outreach Events continue to perform vital services and address community impacts as a result of homelessness within the City.

Staff continue to work with neighboring jurisdictions (including the County) through the MOU process on a regional approach to jointly address homelessness in East County. Staff will return to City Council once a project or facility serving the homeless is identified.

Finally, staff will continue to monitor and report on the performance of Crisis House during their contract performance period ending in 2031, as well as continue to monitor all service providers and the services provided to El Cajon homeless residents and victims of domestic violence.

Recommendations
Staff makes the following recommendations for consideration:

Continue funding the homeless programs described above, contingent upon available funding and Special Operations License approval;

1. Continue the Homeless Outreach Events and the enhanced Neighborhood Quality of Life Team efforts;

2. Continue to work with neighboring jurisdictions, including the County, on a regional approach to jointly addressing homelessness in East County;

3. Continue to monitor Crisis House during their contract performance period through 2031 to serve El Cajon residents;

4. Continue to seek new funding opportunities using local, federal, or state resources that can be used to prevent homeless individuals or families from entering into homelessness or to seek funding for additional homeless services that lead to a path of self-sufficiency, including permanent housing and housing stability;

5. Continue financial support for the East County Homeless Task Force;6.

Continue support for the Emergency Sleeping Cabins;7.

Continue to work with local service providers for the use of HOME-ARP funding; and8.

Staff to continue to provide updates on all programs every six months. 9.

New Funding Allocations
PLHA: On July 1, 2024, the City received a Conditional Award letter from HCD detailing a total award of $359,632 for 2022 and 2023 allocations that can be used for various eligible homeless service activities. Staff will return to City Council with funding recommendations at a later date.

Conclusion
Monitoring Performance
Staff will continue to monitor program performance for each of the active programs and provide technical assistance to service providers. As of June 2024, RSG completed its monitoring of all CDBG programs for FY 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 and CDBG-CV funded programs. All subrecipients are in good standing following HUD compliance and there are no findings to report. Staff will conduct monitoring for all FY 2023-2024 active CDBG-CV programs.

Funding Availability for Ongoing Services
CDBG-CV: CDBG-CV was a one-time funding source and is no longer available to fund new programs. All funds were expended as of June 2024, and CDBG-CV funded programs are now complete.

CDBG: CDBG funded programs for FY 2024-2025 are now active.

PLHA: PLHA funded programs for FY 2024-2025 are now active.

LMIHAF: Continue to use this funding to support A Way Back Home Program.

HOME-American Rescue Plan: Staff will work on soliciting proposals from eligible parties to allocate the HOME-ARP funding and work with service providers to assist the at-risk and homeless community. Staff will return to City Council with funding recommendations at a later date.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it is not a “project” under Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 11.

DATE: July 23, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Yazmin Arellano, Director of Public of Works
SUBJECT: All-Way Stop Sign Request on Greenfield Drive at Camillo Way RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopts the next Resolution, in order, to establish permanent all-way stop signs on Greenfield Drive at the intersection with Camillo Way.

BACKGROUND:

Engineering Services periodically receives requests to investigate the need for additional regulatory signs on City streets. Residents submitted a request to install permanent all-way stop signs on Greenfield Drive at Camillo Way. Nearby residents have expressed concern about vehicles traveling at excessive speeds on Greenfield Drive and the safety of pedestrians who cross at this intersection.

Existing Conditions
Greenfield Drive is an east-west “collector” street extending east of State Route 67 to southeast of Interstate 8. Greenfield Drive has a speed limit of 35 miles per hour based on the California Vehicle Code Section 627, "Engineering and Traffic Survey" requirements. An existing “Stop” sign on Camillo Way controls the intersection, and no stop signs are on Greenfield Drive.

Approximately 9,800 vehicles per day travel through this intersection.

The corner sight distance was measured to determine if a vehicle traveling from Camillo Way has adequate sight distance to enter Greenfield Drive safely. Based on the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, the minimum corner sight distance of 385 feet is desirable for a street with a posted speed limit of 35 miles per hour. The field investigation revealed that the available corner sight distance is less than the desirable requirement. Research of City records revealed that four (4) collisions occurred at this intersection in the past five (5) years.

All-Way Stop Sign Analysis on Greenfield Drive and Camillo Way The City of El Cajon follows the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) guidelines and uses a “point” system developed by the City of San Diego to evaluate the need to install all-way stop signs. Existing site conditions, traffic volumes, site distance obstructions, proximity to schools, and accident history are criteria used in the determination of 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 a total of 35 points were tallied at this location; thus, an all-way stop is warranted.

Based on this information, staff recommends that the City Council approve stop signs to be installed on Greenfield Drive at the intersection with Camillo Way.

This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c) because it involves minor alterations to existing public facilities, including public safety enhancements and stop signs.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approximately $15,000 for the installation of all-way stops signs, "red" flashing beacons, pavement legends, marked crosswalks, and the required installation of a new pedestrian curb ramp. This cost is budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Traffic Safety Calming Budget (233790PWCP).

RESOLUTION NO. ___-24

RESOLUTION TO ESTABLISH ALL-WAY STOP SIGNS ON

GREENFIELD DRIVE AT CAMILLO WAY

TO ENHANCE PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC SAFETY

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, including additional regulatory signs, are necessary to protect pedestrian traffic along and across public roads; and

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 12.

DATE: July 23, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Noah Alvey, Deputy Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Sign Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council discusses the City's Sign Ordinance and either:

Accepts the information provided in the report and takes no further action; or1.

Provides alternative policy direction to staff.2.

BACKGROUND:

On March 12, 2024, the City Council adopted the 2024 City Council Action Plan. Identified as a City Beautification Goal, the City Council directed that staff return with a review of the City’s Sign Ordinance and to seek areas of concern from the City Council.

On February 8, 2017, the City Council was presented with detailed information regarding new business signage, the types of permitted temporary signs, acceptable materials and how long these signs may be displayed. The City Council accepted the report and took no action.

On April 27 and September 14, 2021, the City Council was presented with how the Sign Ordinance addresses flashing signs and light ropes. Specifically, the report included how flashing signs and certain lights in windows are regulated. The City Council also asked for options to consider that could lead to amending the Sign Ordinance. The Council accepted the report and took no action.

El Cajon sign regulations are designed to do the following:

Serve the interests of community aesthetics, and vehicular and pedestrian safety; Protect and preserve property values;
Improve the visual environment of the City so as to promote commerce, investment, tourism, visitation, and the overall quality of life for persons living in, doing business in, or visiting the City;
Promote the public health, safety and general welfare of persons driving, parking, walking, residing, or conducting business within the City by reducing visual distractions to motorists, by making signs and advertising displays more attractive, aesthetically pleasing, and more effective; and
Ensure that every use of property within the City receives adequate identification.

It is noteworthy to mention that, in the most general terms, the U.S. Supreme Court has .!!!!_ Valley of Opportunity

It is noteworthy to mention that, in the most general terms, the U.S. Supreme Court has determined that sign regulations must allow adequate avenues for both commercial and non-commercial messages, and protect the constitutionally guaranteed right of free speech.

DISCUSSION
In general, the El Cajon Sign Ordinance permits the following:

Temporary Signs
Temporary signs are defined as a means of temporary advertising device which, by virtue of its construction from lightweight or flimsy materials, is not intended for, nor is it suitable for display over an extended period of time (180 days). These signs include but not limited to banners (including feather banners), balloons, searchlights, inflatable objects, pennants, streamers, etc.

They are typically flexible and non-rigid, and composed of plastic, cloth or other soft fabric (flags and feather banners), or lightweight non-porous material (balloons).

Temporary signs do not include animated signs, flashing signs, sign spinners, marquee signs, portable signs, or revolving signs, because these signs are prohibited, except that, certain types of portable signs and flashing signs, including light ropes may be permitted in the Downtown Master Plan Area.

Temporary Sign Display
The Sign Ordinance allows new businesses and businesses that have a change of ownership to display temporary signs for a period of 30 days. Furthermore, a new business may obtain a Temporary Use Permit ($195) to allow for an additional four weeks. Based on that, a new business may display temporary signs for a two-month consecutive period.

The Sign Ordinance also allows the following additional temporary sign display opportunities:

Any commercial establishment may display nonmetallic balloons with a maximum diameter of sixteen inches, without limitation as to the number or height of display, and shall be limited to a period of 30 consecutive days and a total of 120 days during any 12-month period.

1. Any commercial establishment in which over 50% of its merchandise for sale is permitted to be displayed outdoors and located in the Commercial-General zone (CG), Commercial-Regional zone (CR), or Commercial-Manufacturing (CM) zone, and such establishment occupies a minimum gross lot area of two acres (single-occupancy properties), may display banner(s) not exceeding a total maximum banner sign area of

0.25 square feet of sign area for each lineal foot of total street frontage. Banners may be mounted on buildings and light poles within the property. Banners located on light poles may not exceed 15 square feet each. An example of this would typically be auto dealerships.

2. Holiday periods
Valentine’s Day/Presidents’ Day – 19 daysa.

Mother’s Day – 11 daysb.

Independence Day – 14 daysc.

Labor Day – 14 daysd.

Winter Holiday – 41 dayse.

3. Permanent Signage
Generally, commercially developed properties have multiple identification options, including building wall face signs, monument signs, and pylon (pole) signs. Moreover, commercial properties within 660 feet of a freeway may also have a freeway-oriented sign. However, there are limitations in the Manufacturing (M) and Office Professional (OP) zones where pylon signs are not permitted.

Wall Face Signs
Every commercial building may have a maximum cumulative sign area of four square feet per lineal foot of building face to which the sign is attached. The provision for wall signs is reduced to a maximum cumulative sign area of two square feet per lineal foot for properties in the O-P zone and in the Downtown Master Plan Area. Wall signs may be individual channel letters, painted signs, or box signs. Box signs, also known as cabinet or can signs, are boxes with a face. These signs are not permitted in the Downtown Area.

Monument Signs
Monument signs are a low-profile freestanding structure eight feet or less in height and length, and two feet or less in width, containing a sign area of no more than 48 square feet per sign face. Only certain commercial developments and businesses are permitted to have a monument sign. Criteria includes property size and public street frontage.

Pylon or Pole Signs
Pole signs may be up to 24-feet high and have up to 100 square feet of sign area when the commercial development is located on a site having a minimum street frontage of 150 feet, or a minimum size of 22,500 square feet. If the site is two-acres or more then the pole sign may be as high as 65 feet and the sign area may be up to two square feet for each lineal foot of street or freeway frontage for each face.

Freeway-Oriented Signs
These signs may be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding signs may be as high as 65 feet. However, if it can be shown that a greater height is necessary in order to gain adequate identification, a higher sign may be approved by the Planning Commission.

Electronic Message Displays
Electronic message display signs may be authorized as part of any permitted sign display, subject to the same height, sign area, and location limitations of the permitted sign, and subject to the granting of a minor use permit. Electronic message display signs may display only noncommercial or on-site commercial messages. When allowed, such signs may not include any illumination, flashing, or message change that is in motion, or appears to be in motion, or that changes in image or intensity more than once per four seconds.

City Council Considerations
The El Cajon Sign Ordinance has been presented above in the most general terms. The City Council may wish to discuss a particular component of the sign ordinance in more detail or direct staff to return with a detailed analysis. In general, the El Cajon Sign Ordinance is considered to be a “lenient” ordinance in comparison to most other cities’ sign regulations within the region.

If the City Council wishes to initiate an amendment to the El Cajon Sign Ordinance, it can give staff and the Planning Commission specific or broad direction as it deems appropriate at this time. The City Council does not need to make specific decisions on any issue now, since this issue will go through both a Planning Commission and then a City Council public hearing. The City Council may wish to give general direction for certain categories of the Sign Ordinance to City Council may wish to give general direction for certain categories of the Sign Ordinance to be considered for staff and the Planning Commission to further review and make recommendations on. The City Council may also wish to consider a series of community forums, followed by a City Council workshop with recommended changes.

DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION
The City Council is requested to provide direction regarding the preferred approach or range of approaches in addressing the City’s temporary sign provisions.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The discussion of the sign ordinance is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") because it is a procedural, administrative step in the process, which may only direct the Planning Commission and staff to study and prepare potential amendments to the Municipal Code for future consideration.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The overall fiscal impact is unknown at this time. The specific costs associated with a sign ordinance amendment is generally absorbed by the General Fund associated with personnel costs.
