CITY OF EL CAJON
Spill Emergency Response Plan
General:

The City of El Cajon owns and operates a diverse collection system that consists of 12 inverted siphons and approximately 200 miles of gravity -flow sewer mains. These facilities are well maintained and normally should not result in any sewage overflows or spills. However, the possibility exists that unforeseen accidents, pipeline failure, equipment failure or other events not controllable by the City could result in sewer overflow or spills. This sanitary sewer Spill Emergency Response Plan (SERP), when enacted in response to a sewer overflow or spill, will reduce or eliminate public health hazards, prevent unnecessary property damage and minimize service interruptions.

Authority:

In December 2022, the SWRCB adopted General Order Number 2022-0103-DWQ as an update to Order 2006-0003-DWQ (WDR), (Order), that requires all publicly -owned sewage collection systems having more than one mile of pipeline, to develop, implement and fund a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP), which establishes the minimum requirements under which the City’s collection system must be operated and maintained. The purpose of the Order is to prevent sanitary sewer spills (Spills) and to provide a plan and schedule for measures to be implemented to prevent spills, as well as measure the effectiveness of clean up and reporting.

Under the Order s, the City was required to develop and implement a spill emergency response plan that identifies measures to protect public health and the environment. At a minimum, this plan must include the following:
a) Proper notificat ion procedures so that the primary responders and regulatory agencies are informed of all spills in a timely manner; b) A program to ensure an appropriate response to all overflows; c) Procedures to ensure prompt notification to appropriate regulatory agencies a nd other potentially affected entities (e.g. health agencies, Regional Water Boards, water suppliers, etc.) of all spills that potentially affect public health or reach the waters of the State in accordance with the MRP. All spills shall be reported in accordance with this MRP, the California Water Code, other State Law , and other applicable Regional Water Board WDRs or NPDES permit requirements. The SSMP should identify the officials who will receive immediate notification; d) Procedures to ensure that appropriate staff and contractor personnel are aware of and follow the Emergency Response Plan and are appropriately trained; e) Procedures to address emergency operations, such as traffic and crowd control, and other necessary response activities; and
City of El Cajon Spill Emergency Response Plan

CITY OF EL CAJON SERP Page | 4
Rev 4/2025
f) A program to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to contain and prevent the discharge of untreated and partially treated wastewater to waters of the United States and to minimize or correct any adverse impact on the environment resulting from the Spills, including such accelerated or additional monitoring as may be necessary to determine the nature and impact of the discharge.

As the owner of a sanitary collection system within its City limits, the City of El Cajon has the right and responsibility to ensure that the collection system is properly funded and maintained, including the appropriate response to sewer system overflows as prescribed in Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ (WDR).

Types of Spills:

Public Property Spill- A public property spill is a spill is a dis charge of sewage from any portion of a sanitary sewer system due to a sanitary sewer system overflow, operational failure, and/or infrastructure failure. This may include spills from private laterals as a result of a failure or blockage in the public system. Once a spill occurs, it is the responsibility of the City to determine the cause and initiate corrective action including the cleanup and recovery of all recoverable sewage. An example of a public property spill is the overflow of a manhole on a City ow ned collection system line. All public property spills must be reported in accordance with the reporting procedures outlined in the SERP.

Regardless of the source of a spill, every effort must be made to ensure that sewage does not reach the receiving wa ters of the U.S.; that is , every effort must be made to prevent sewage from reaching storm drains, flood channels, drainage ditches or any other storm water conveyance. Should a spill reach a storm water conveyance, every effort must be made to remove the sewage as rapidly and completely as possible. This includes all storm water conveyances, whether the City owns them or not.

Private Property Spill- A private lateral sewer discharge (PLSD) is an overflow that occurs on or from private property. A PLSD may encroach on public property, such as a street, storm drain, flood channel, or any other storm water conveyance or waters of the United States.

PLSDs are the responsibility of the property owner, although the City or its collection system contractor may offer assistance. The City may request compensation from the property owner for such assistance. A PLSD is the backup of a private sewer lateral where the entire overflow of sewage may or may not be contained within the property. In this Region (9), the City is responsible to report all PLSDs to the California Integrated Water Quality System Online Spill Database (CIWQS), as it becomes aware of the spill. A spill that is the result of a failure or blockage in the sanitary sewer system would not be considered a PLSD.

Spill Categories:

Category 1– A spill of any volume of sewage from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that results in a discharge to:
 A surface water, including a surface water body that contains no flow or volume of water; or
City of El Cajon Spill Emergency Response Plan

CITY OF EL CAJON SERP Page | 5
Rev 4/2025
 A drainage conveyance system that discharges to surface waters when the sewage is not fully captured and returned to the sanitary sewer system or disposed of properly.

Any spill volume not recovered from a drainage conveyance system is considered a discharge to surface water, unless the drainage conveyance system discharges to a dedicated stormwater infiltration basin or facility.

A spill from an Enrollee -owned and/or operated lateral that discharges to a surface water is a Category 1 spill; the Enrollee shall report all Category 1 spills per section 3.1 of Attachment E1 (Notification, Monitoring, Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements) of this General Order.

Category 2– A spill of 1,000 gallons or greater, from or caused by a sanitary se wer system regulated under this General Order that does not discharge to a surface water.

A spill of 1,000 gallons or greater that spills out of a lateral and is caused by a failure or blockage in the sanitary sewer system, is a Category 2 spill.

Category 3– A spill of equal to or greater than 50 gallons and less than 1,000 gallons, from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that does not discharge to a surface water.

A spill of equal to or greater than 50 gallons and les s than 1,000 gallons, that spills out of a lateral and is caused by a failure or blockage in the sanitary sewer system is a Category 3 spill.

Category 4– A spill of less than 50 gallons, from or caused by a sanitary sewer system regulated under this General Order that does not discharge to a surface water.

A spill of less than 50 gallons that spills out of a lateral and is caused by a failure or blockage in the sanitary sewer system is a Category 4 spill.

Private Lateral Sewage Discharges (PLSD) – Discharges of untreated or partially treated wastewater resulting from blockages or other problems within a privately owned sewer lateral connected to the enrollee’s sanitary sewer system or from other private sewer assets . In this Region (9), PLSDs that the City becomes aware of must be reported to CIWQS.

Procedures:

The purpose of this response plan is:
 To protect personnel and public health, the environment and property from sewage spill events and to restore the area back to normal, as soon as possible, after a spill;  To safely and competently respond with available resources and capabiliti es within the City of El Cajon;
 To establish perimeters and control zones using appropriate measures a nd redirect traffic, as needed;
 To promptly notify (within two hours) the California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) for Category 1 spills of 1,000 gallons or more only; City of El Cajon Spill Emergency Response Plan

CITY OF EL CAJON SERP Page | 6
Rev 4/2025
 To contain the sewage discharge, as much as possible, with every effort being made to prevent the discharge of sewage into surface waters; and  To recover, to the maximum extent practicable, any discharge that reaches the MS4, drainage channels, and surface waters.

1. Safety:

Whenever an emergency situation occurs that requires immediate action, the most critical aspect of resolving an incident of this nature is to safely and competently perform the actions necessary to return service as soon as possible and to keep health and environmental impacts to a minimum.

The most important item to remember during this type of incident is that safe operations always take precedent over expediency or short-cuts.

Depending on the nature or cause of the overflow/spill, when removing mainline blockages with combination vehicles (combo truck) or repairing a damaged section of pipeline, a ll essential safety procedures a re to be followed so that the response does not cause the situation to escalate.

Responses may require City staff to implement the following types of safety procedures:
 Confined space entry procedures;
 Traffic control procedures at site;
 Trench and shoring procedures;
 Equipment and/or vehicle operation; and
 Use of personnel protective equipment.

Communication is critical when responding to an overflow/spill. Communication is maintained via two-way radio or cell phone. As the situation may warrant, staff may need to call for additional personnel , notify a supervisor of the situation, and/or report the overflow/spill to the proper authorities.

2. Standby:

A. Standby duty is defined as that period of time assigned by the City, in addition to an employee's normal workweek, during which time the maintenance staff person must be available, by City provided cell phone and 800 MHz radio , to respond to sanitary sewer emergencies or alarms.

B. All persons designated for standby duty must be properly trained and capable of following the practices and procedures contained in this SERP.

C. When the standby duty person receives notification of a possible sanitary sewer overflow/spill, he or she will take immediate action and gather as much information as possible to deter mine the staffing and equipment needed for the response. This section will provide step -by-step procedures and explain the actions to be taken in response to an overflow/spill. The procedure will be based upon the type of overflow/spill, including mainline blockage and private line/lateral failure. Refer to the City of El Cajon Spill Emergency Response Plan

San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board’s General Guidelines for Sewage Collection Overflows.

3. The following outlines the City of El Cajon’s response plan:

A. First Responders Duties:

1. Traffic and Crowd Control
a. When responding to an overflow/spill location, first responders will need to assess the extent of area affected and determine the type of traffic or crowd control needed to secure the area from public contact. Below are methods to be used, as warranted:
b. Set up traffic cones, barricades or warning tape to detour vehicle and pedestrian traffic safely around the area;
c. Use a Class 3 ANSI safety vest when working at night; and Use of proper traffic control patterns and advance warning signs , as outlined by the San Diego Regional Standard Design handbook, when working in the roadway.

B. Mainline Blockage

1. Contact the person reporting the overflow/spill and obtain information on the location to determine if the spill is within the City’s service area. If the spill is not within the City’s jurisdiction, provide contact information for the caller to contact the appropriate party.

2. Upon arrival at the overflow/spill location, make a determination as to the source of the overflow/spill. Document the overflow by completing the Spill Field Report.

If the spill is private, a Private Lateral Sewer Discharge (PLSD) Field Report must be completed. Additionally, photographs of the overflow/spill must be taken. Safety and containment procedures shall always take precedence, but when the area is secured and the spill has been contained, include the following photographs:
a. Each of the appearance points (manholes, cleanouts, etc.) where the overflow occurred.
i. If the overflow is occurring, a short video would be use ful to estimate the flow of the overflow/spill.
b. The overall area of the appearance point and landmarks. Photograph the closest address location or landmark available. The photograph shall include the appearance point, if possible.
c. All areas affected by the overflow.
d. The final destination of the overflow. If inside a storm drain pipe, photograph the closest downstream access point that the spill did not reach.

Rev 4/2025
e. Any other pertinent photographs that will help to estimate the volume of the overflow/spill and the size of the affected area.
f. Containment and clean-up activities.
g. Affected areas after overflow/spill clean-up is completed.

3. Secure the area by placing cones and/or barricades around the affected area.

4. Assess the area and the extent of the discharge. Determine if there is a need for additional support from City maintenance personnel. Refer to Employee Call-Out List for contact information.

5. Notify supervisor of the location and condition of the discharge.

6. Identify any potential witness es to the incident tha t can provide any details concerning the spill. Refer contact information to the Supervisor for follow-up interview(s).

7. All reasonable methods to contain the overflow/spill shall be used , as soon as possible, to prevent the overflow/spill from expanding. E xamples of reasonable containment methods are:
a. Building a dike/berm (Sandbags / Geo Logs / Absorbent) b. Vacuuming with combo truck
c. Bypass Pumping (Highline)

8. Contain the spill or divert it by building a small berm to change direction of flow away from any storm drain system. If possible, retain the spill by letting it collect in a natural low area and recover sewage when time permits. Use any available means to safely prevent discharge s from entering the storm drain system or flowing into waterways.

9. Inspect flow condition in structure/manholes up and downstream from the overflowing structure/manhole to determine the location of the blockage.

10. Use hydraulic (combination machine) or mechanical (rodding machine) equipment to relieve the blockage as soon as possible.

11. Once the blockage has been removed or the problem is corrected and overflow has ceased, use the combo truck to vacuum up the spill debris. Call additional personnel, if needed, to recover the spill and begin the decontamination process.

12. Provide proper cleanup by removing any debris . W ash down and vacuum to cleanse the affected area to minimize health hazards and/or environmental impacts. Area shall be flushed and disinfected , as required. All wash water shall be captured and returned to the sewer system.

13. If property damage has occurred, photographs of the damaged area must be taken to document conditions at the spill site to assist Risk Manageme nt in settling potential claims. Do not volunteer information on liability. Only neutral comments shall be used by City staff indicating that the liability issue cannot be determined City of El Cajon Spill Emergency Response Plan

until all relevant information has been evaluated. Be polite and sympathetic to the property owner’s concerns.
a. If the Overflow/Spill is inside a building:
i. Assist the owner of the building in calling a professional cleaning service for proper cleanup.
ii. Draw a diagram of area(s) affected by overflow. Note any water damage to private property and take photographs of damaged area(s). b. If the Overflow/Spill is outside the building:
i. Photograph the spill to document estimates of overflow volumes. ii. When possible, recover spill by vacuuming using combo truck. iii. If area is inaccessible to combo truck or other equipment , remove debris by means of rake and shovel and disposed of properly.
iv. Wash area down and use the combo truck to dewater area and collect debris.
v. Make note of water volume used, recovered and returned to sewer. vi. Advise the property owner/occupant of procedure for filing a claim for damages with City Clerk’s Office.
vii. Make certain that the City’s mainline is functioning properly before leaving the area.

C. Private Spills:

If it is determined that the overflow is originating from a private line or lateral:

1. The manholes of the City sewer main will be checked upstream and downstream of the private connection that is showing the overflow to confirm that the main is flowing freely to eliminate the possibility of the main as being responsible for the private back-up.

2. The owner or property manager will be notified that they are responsible for corrective actions.

3. If any overflow from the private line of lateral discharges onto public right -of-way, or onto surface waters, staff will carry out the provisions for containment, reporting, and cleanup as described in Numbers 1 -8 in S ection B, “ Mainline Blockage Procedures”, above.

4. Staff will provide the owner or property manager a copy of the City’s policy concerning a private property owner’s maintenance responsibility for private laterals. Additionally, they will advise the owner or property mana ger to have the lateral inspected, and if necessary, repaired by a plumbing contractor.

5. Staff will ensure the owner or property manager makes all reasonable attempt to recover any and all portions of the private overflow in private property and returns City of El Cajon Spill Emergency Response Plan

CITY OF EL CAJON SERP Page | 10
Rev 4/2025
it to the sanitary sewer collection system. Moreover, staff will communicate to the owner or property manager information about cleanup procedures.

6. Private spill shall be reported in the same manner as public spills.

D. Duties of Supervisory Personnel:

1. Begin collecting facts to complete the S pill/PLSD Field Report. See Field Report form for a detailed outline of facts to consider and record (Appendix A).

2. Assess discharge rate and duration of discharge.

3. If a spill exceeding 1,000 gallons reached a storm drain, channel, or surface water and was not fully recovered, notify CAL -OES within two hours. See notification instructions following.

4. If the spill exceeded 50,000 gallons, contact DMAX (the City’s contractor) to take water quality samples in Forester Creek. Information concerning sampling can be found in the Water Quality Monitoring section. The Regional Water Quality Control Board requires a technical report for all spills exceeding 50,000 gallons.

Additionally, notify Mission Trails Regional Park and request signs to be posted along the San Diego River to warn visitors to avoid contact with the water.

5. Enter an on-line overflow report, whether private or public, in CIWQS. Timeline for submittal and certification will be based on the overflow category (refer to Reporting Procedures).

6. Take of photos of discharge. Photos need to show the spill, the area affected and the area after the cleanup. Copies of these photos are to accompany the field report and be retained for records.

7. Ensure expedient arrival of sewer cleaning equipment.

8. Supervise containment methods used by the first responders.

9. Document the following:
a. Actions taken during the spill;
b. Location(s) of spill;
c. Flow rate;
d. Time of flow;
e. When flow was stopped;
f. Type of containment;
g. Cause of discharge;
h. Time clean-up was completed;
i. Method used to clean area;

6. In cases where the private spill has occurred, the investigator shall send a Notice- of-Violation to the offending party and require a system video inspection and repairs if needed.

F. Storm Drain System:

1. Every effort must be made to keep a spill out of the storm drain system. The storm drain system includes gutters, curb inlets, catch basins, drainage ditches, flood control channels, waterways , or any other conveyance utilized for storm water drainage.

2. Earthen berms or sand bags/absorbent can be utilized to divert and contain the sewage flow, and prevent sewage from entering the storm drain system.

3. Even if sewage has already entered the storm drain system, the above methods should be utilized to prevent additional sewage from continuing to enter the storm drain system.

4. The following steps shall be taken if the spill has entered the storm drain system:
a. Take steps to prevent additional sewage from entering the storm drain. b. Consult the Storm Drain/Sewer Utility Map Book located in the response vehicle.
c. Determine the direction of the flow and where the closest location is where the storm drain system can be inspected to determine the extent of sewage contamination within the storm drain system.
d. Cleanup of the storm drain system is to begin as soon as equipment a nd personnel are available. Disinfectants should not be utilized unless under the direction of a regulatory agency representative. They will determine the type, amount and dilution of the disinfectant.

Spill Flow Estimation:

Accurate flow estimation is essential to determine the impact of a spill. Additionally, accurate flow estimation is important to determine the extent of the cleanup and its effectiveness.

Flow estimation is basically the flow rate times the amount of time the flow has occurred.

Figure I (low flow rates) and Figure II (higher flow rates) have been included to assist in the estimation of flow rates to determine the flow volume of a spill. Figure I is a chart that assists in determining the estimated flow from the vent and pick holes in manhole covers. To use the chart, determine the diameter of the vent or pick hole(s) and the height of the water column coming out of the hole(s). For any given size hole and water column the chart will provide the flow rates in cubic foot seconds (CFS), gallons per minute (GPM) or gallons per hour (GPH). The flow rate times the number of holes generating flow times the elapsed time of the spill will determine the estimated volume of the spill.

Figure II is a series of illustrations depicting what an overflowing manhole looks like at various flow rates. Figure II can be used to give an approximate determination of the flow rate for manholes that are overflowing at a rate substantially higher than through only the vent and pick holes. To use Figure II pick the illustration that most closely matches the actual overflow. Use that GPM rate times the elapsed time the manhole has been overflowing to determine the estimated spill volume. Additionally, utilize the resources of the contractor who is assisting with the spill to determine the estimated flow volume and amount of sewage recovered.

The “Eye-ball Method” is used for spills that are not concentrated flow, but spread out over a wider area. City crews are trained on a yearly basis in how to employ this method of estimation.

ACCESS and EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
for
THE CITY OF EL CAJON at GKN AEROSPACE CHEM-TRONICS
INTRODUCTION:

The City of El Cajon Public Works Department (City) owns and maintains a thirty -six inch (36") wastewater pipeline (Pipeline) that lies within in a ten -foot (10') easement and a sixty - foot (60') access easement coincident and contiguous with the eastside of GKN Aerospace Chem-tronics (GKN) leasehold. The GK N campus is a secure facility and all non -GKN personnel must also follow strict security and safety procedures as outlined in this document.

The Pipeline conveys ninety percent (90%) of the City's wastewater flowing on an average day with ten million gallons (10,000,000 GAL) of wastewater per day and a peak wet weather flow of twenty-five million (25,000,000) gallons per day. In the event of a flow blockage or pipeline failure, the resulting sewer spill or overflow would present significant risks to private property and the environment. It is essential that the City secures unobstructed access and routinely maintain the pipeline. To facilitate routine maintenance and emergency access the City requires an unobstructed access route to the pipeline sufficient t o allow large maintenance and construction vehicles to enter and exit while observing GKN's security and safety measures. This document sets forth those procedures to be followed by the City, the City's Contractors and/or GKN to facilitate secured access f or City personnel or contractors, and vehicles for routine maintenance and in the event of an emergency response.

ACCESS ROUTE:

In all situations, whether routine or in the event of an emergency, the City shall enter GKN's campus at the Bert Acosta Securit y Station (Security Post #2,via Gate # RG7 -1) via Bert Acosta St. (Chemtronics Way) and Billy Mitchell Drive as shown on Exhibit "A" following security and safety protocols as outlined below. Exhibit "A" illustrates the access route to be used inside the GKN campus to access the pipeline and manholes. When accessing manhole 6565, maintenance equipment will need to back out to exit the campus. When accessing manholes 6564 and 6563, equipment will exit the campus at Security Post #1 (Gate #RG1-1) adjacent to Bradley Avenue.

Water Quality Monitoring:

Spills that reach a drainage channel and/or creek, river, bay, or other water body may be subject to additional water-quality monitoring requirements. The types and frequency of the testing to be performed is generally based on the estimated volume of the spill and the affected or potentially affected body of w ater. Water quality sampling must be conducted within 18 hours after the City is made aware of a Category 1 Spill in which 50,000 gallons or greater are spilled to surface waters (i.e., receiving water bodies).

D-Max Engineering, Inc.’s sampling staff are available on-call to respond to spills when requested by the City, in accordance with the procedures on the response flowchart and reporting form. For spills that reach surface waters, monitoring and testing activities will include the following steps:

1. Trained staff will gather representative samples upstream and downstream of any location where a spill reached a receiving water body, as well as at the location where the spill entered the receiving water body. Sampling will consider spill travel time in the receiving water body and areas where monitoring may not be possible.

One water sample is to be collected, each day of the duration of the spill, at each of the following locations:
a. A point in a drainage conveyance system before the drainage conveyance system flow discharges into a receiving water, if sewage discharges to a surface water via a drainage conveyance system;
b. A point in the receiving water where sewage initially enters the receiving water; c. A point in the receiving water, upstream of the poin t of sewage discharge, to capture ambient conditions absent of sewage discharge impacts; and d. A point in the receiving water, downstream of the point of sewage discharge, where the spill material is fully mixed with the receiving water.

If the receiving water has no flow during the duration of the spill, the Enrollee must report “No Sampling Due To No Flow” for its receiving water sampling locations.

2. Trained staff will collect all samples using proper sampling procedures. This includes documentation of maintenance and calibration of monitoring instruments and devices, as necessary, to ensure their continued accuracy.

3. An accredited or certified laboratory will analyze the samples for selected constituents, which may include:
 Ammonia;
 Bacterial Indicators (Total and Fecal Coliform, Enterococcus, and E. Coli);  Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD);
 Dissolved Oxygen (DO); and
 Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
It should be noted that, within 18 hours of becoming aware of the Category 1 spill in which 50,000 gallons o r greater are spilled to surface waters, water quality sampling must, at a minimum, include ammonia and the appropriate bacterial indicator(s) per the Basin Plan water -quality objective or the San Diego Regional City of El Cajon Spill Emergency Response Plan

CITY OF EL CAJON SERP Page | 25
Rev 4/2025
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) direction which may include total and fecal coliform, Enterococcus, and E. Coli.

4. Log the sample location, time, and water temperature on the chain of custody form submitted to the laboratory.

5. Conduct additional sampling requirements as imposed by the San Diego C ounty Department of Environmental Health (SDCDEH) and/or the RWQCB.

Water quality results are required to be uploaded into CIWQS for Category 1 Spills in which 50,000 gallons or greater are spilled to surface waters. Water sampling results may be sent to the SDCDEH and the RWQCB as well as to other regulatory agencies, as directed.

Training and Review:

This SERP must be reviewed at least annually for its effectiveness in responding to sewer overflows. Any supporting documentation is likewise to be revie wed to ensure all documentation is current, correct and applicable to this plan. More frequent reviews may be necessary if, after an overflow, it is determined that the procedures enclosed are inadequate. This plan is to be modified, as needed, to always a llow for an appropriate response to any spill within the City’s collection system. Modifications of this plan shall be distributed to all required City personnel within 30 days of the modifications being finalized. Modifications shall be forwarded to the R WQCB upon completion or at their request.

This plan shall be made available to any member of the public upon written request to the City of El Cajon.

All City employees involved in the management, administration, supervision, maintenance, operation, or response to a sanitary sewer overflow, including those performing after-hours stand-by duties, shall be trained in, and become familiar with, the procedures contained in the SERP when this plan is initialized and shall receive further training at least ann ually.

More frequent training may be required. All training, including the names of those receiving training, is to be documented.

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 10.

DATE: April 22, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Morgan Foley, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Adoption of New Fees, Modification and Elimination of Existing Fees, and Amendment of Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Opens the Public Hearing and receives testimony;1.

Closes the Public Hearing; and2.

Adopts the next Resolution, in order, to modify certain existing fees, add and delete certain fees, and amend the City’s Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees.

3. BACKGROUND:

City of El Cajon (the "City") staff annually reviews existing fees and charges and, if needed, proposes changes to the City's Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees (the "Fee Schedule") based on the reasonable anticipation of actual costs to provide City services. The current Fee Schedule was most recently amended by Resolution No. 041-24 on April 23, 2024.

In mid-2024, the City restructured the existing Public Works Department by creating two distinct departments: Engineering Services ("Engineering"), and Public Works ("Public Works"), to better address the engineering aspects and operational division of tasks, and fees have been allocated to the appropriate departments.

The following generally describes changes in fees recommended by the City Clerk's office ("City Clerk"); the Building Safety ("Building") and Planning ("Planning") divisions of Community Development ("Community Development"); Engineering ("Engineering"); the Fire Department ("Fire"); and the Parks and Recreation Department ("Parks and Recreation").

City Clerk has recommended deleting the Fingerprint Live Scan service as it has rarely been requested since the service was initiated. Eliminating this service would also eliminate the need for ongoing certification of staff, resulting in cost-savings for the department.

Community Development is proposing the following changes to the City's Fee Schedule for these divisions:

Building Safety – Updated Building valuations are proposed to be consistent with the current 2024 valuation multipliers of the International Code Council, San Diego Chapter.

The self-certification inspection review fee has been eliminated because the review process has been incorporated into the self-certification fee for minor permits.

1. .!!!!_ Valley of opportunity
~ ~ ~
C'o ~ '\.o,
"'Poratel\
process has been incorporated into the self-certification fee for minor permits.

Planning – Planning entitlement applications and development fees are based on the staff cost to process and, in many cases, entitlement application fees are significantly less than the actual costs. However, where appropriate, applicable, and reasonable, application fees are increased, but only incrementally. This year, Planning is recommending fee increases of no more than 5% for planning entitlements where full cost recovery is currently not achieved.

2. Engineering has found, in recent studies, that the City subsidizes each Level 1 and Level 3 Encroachment Permit by 57% and 15%, respectively. In an effort to balance recovery of staff costs with sensitivity to the needs of residents, Engineering proposes gradually increasing the Level 1 fee by an estimated $60 per year over three years. Beginning in FY25-26, Engineering recommends increasing the Level 1 fee from $135 to $195 (a 30.77% increase), and the Level 3 fee from $700 to $815 (a 14.12% increase). The fee increases ensure the department’s ability to sustain the provision of timely services while maintaining financial stability.

Fire has requested the following changes:

Removing ‘Technical Report’ from section ‘Fire Review and Final Fire Clearance of Building and Public Works Permit Applications’ as this is an administrative fee and does not typically require an inspection;

1. Adding ‘Contracted Services’ to section ‘Fire Review and Final Fire Clearance of Building and Public Works Permit Applications’ to include costs associated with contract services currently in place with the department;

2. Adding ‘Technical Report Review’ to section ‘Fire Re-Inspection Fee’ as this is a category similar the other administrative fees. The fee for Technical Report would be $212, which is an increase from the original fee due to the fact that Technical Reports are more time-consuming, and in order to stay as consistent as possible with the fee schedules of the other Heartland Fire & Rescue cities (which share services with each other);

3. Adding ‘Plan Review Re-Submittal (3rd and each subsequent time) 50% of original fee’ to section ‘Fire Re-Inspection Fee’ which is in a category like the other similar administrative fees. This is not addressed anywhere else in the Fee Schedule. It is to recoup costs reasonably associated with the time-consuming multiple plan reviews and would remain consistent with the fee schedules of other Heartland Fire & Rescue cities; and

4. Increasing fees in section ‘Emergency Medical Services (EMS)’ by 6% as requested by American Medical Response ("AMR") the City’s contract service provider, based on the following: "As with many healthcare sector jobs, the market for EMTs and Paramedics remains competitive and has necessitated an equitable increase in wages and benefits through the collective bargaining process. In addition to labor expenses, AMR has experienced inflationary pressures in many other areas, such as workers' compensation, automobile, and liability insurance, as well as fuel, maintenance, and medical supplies, which are integral to providing high-quality services to the City of El Cajon. While our expenses have increased, the payor mix in the City of El Cajon remains stagnant, with over 85% of all patients insured by either Medicare or Medi-Cal or not insured at all. As both of the CMS programs are fixed-rate payors, the requested 6% increase would only be passed onto the insurance companies that cover the patients covered by private insurance."

5. In addition, City staff recommends that a new Non-Emergent Lift Assist fee of $565 be added to the Fee Schedule for non-injury ("non-emergency") lift assists in licensed care facilities where the facilities are required by law to provide adequate staffing to meet the needs of their clients.

Fire responds to many emergency incidents in the City and surrounding jurisdictions, and has been dispatched to licensed care and congregate care facilities in the City for the purpose of lifting non-injured residents. For the past several years, the Fire Department has worked with these facilities to reduce overall calls for services, including non-emergency calls, and in some cases, the calls for non-emergencies have declined. However, Fire continues to be called to several facilities for non-emergencies. In order to ensure that City costs for responding to non-emergencies at said facilities are recovered and to discourage the overuse of 911 calls for non-emergencies, Fire has proposed that a fee be assessed when a lift assist is performed at these facilities for non-injured residents. Fire will continue to provide lift assistance at no cost to residents and businesses not considered licensed care facilities. This fee will be implemented once an ordinance establishing the fee is effective, which is presented for introduction and first reading on this same agenda.

Parks and Recreation has proposed the addition of pickleball usage fees for the new courts opening at Wells Park during the next fiscal year, as well as minor field fee changes to offset maintenance costs.

Methodology
In calculating the revised fees, except in those cases where (1) the fee is changed due to the terms of a contract with a third party for the provision of services, and (2) the changes in the fee are the result of new federal or state requirements, the changes are based on the amount of time spent by each personnel classification to accomplish the activity for which the fee applies, multiplied by the fully-burdened hourly rate for the classification.

As required by Article XIII C of the California Constitution and California law, cities can only charge rates or fees that are equal to or less than the reasonably anticipated costs of providing the service, conferring a benefit, granting a privilege, performing regulatory duties, enforcing laws, or as a condition of property development.

Data indicating the amount of cost, or estimated cost, of providing the services for which the fee or service charge is levied, and the source of all revenues anticipated to provide the services, to the extent required, is available for review in the City Clerk’s office.

If approved at this meeting, all fees will take effect on July 1, 2025, sixty-nine (69) days following adoption.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed changes to the City’s Schedule of Miscellaneous Fees are not subject to the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to section 15273(a), Rates, Tolls, Fares, and Charges, of the State CEQA Guidelines, which states that "CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges by public agencies which the public agency finds are for the purpose of meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits." FISCAL IMPACT:

These changes would modestly increase revenue and have a net result in approaching full cost recovery.

City Council
Agenda Report
Agenda Item 11.

DATE: April 22, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Noah Alvey, Deputy Director of Community Development SUBJECT: Zoning Code Update
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Opens the Public Hearing and receives testimony;1.

Closes the Public Hearing;2.

Moves to adopt the next Resolution, in order, approving the California Environmental Quality Act exemption; and

3. Introduces the next Ordinance, in order, approving Zoning Code Amendment No. 2025-0001.

4. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The proposed Zoning Code Update is primarily related to housing and commercial land uses in order to comply with recently approved and enacted State laws. Other minor, non-substantive changes are also included to improve clarity and consistency in the interpretation of the Zoning Code, as well as a procedural update to allow the City Council to expedite the entitlement decision process.

BACKGROUND:

On October 22, 2024, the City Council initiated an amendment to the Zoning Code to update housing regulations based on recently enacted and approved State housing bills. After completing Zoning Code updates, the State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development provided a comment letter recommending further updates for consistency with the California Government Code.

On March 11, 2025, the City Council directed staff to review the Zoning Code for hospitals and to consider compatibility issues in close proximity to residential zones. On March 25, 2025, the City Council directed staff to review the Zoning Code requirements for Emergency Housing and to consider new regulations to allow the expansion of existing Emergency Housing projects from a maximum of six housing units to ten housing units.

DISCUSSION
.!!!!_ Valley of opportunity

DISCUSSION
The proposed Zoning Code changes are summarized as follows:

Accessory Dwelling Units — The accessory dwelling unit (ADU) changes include updating references to the Government Code based on recently enacted State laws, clarifying a parking exception for new construction, and confirming that the construction of an ADU with fire sprinklers does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers in the existing primary dwelling.

Other updates clarify the maximum height for attached ADUs outside of the setbacks for the primary dwelling and confirm that attached garages are considered part of an existing single-family residence for the purpose of creating a junior ADU.

Commercial Uses — The commercial land use table currently indicates hospitals require a conditional use permit in the Office Professional (O-P) zone and the Neighborhood Commercial (C-N) zone. The General Plan indicates that these areas are found in close proximity or adjacent to residential areas. In general, suitable uses within these zones have hours of operation compatible with residential development while not extending into the late evening or early morning. Furthermore, they are typically of minor scale relative to nearby residential areas.

The conduct of a large-scale regional serving hospital operating 24-hours a day would be inconsistent with the intent of the General Plan for these zones. The proposed commercial land use table removes the conditional use permit requirement by replacing the ”C" with an ”X” for hospitals in the O-P and CN zones. An "X” indicates the listed corresponding use(s) is not allowed.

Emergency Housing – The existing Emergency Housing program currently allows up to six emergency housing units on large properties (1.5 acres or more) developed with nongovernmental institutional uses on a primary or secondary thoroughfare, with the approval of an Administrative Zoning Permit. The proposed changes to the Zoning Code would allow an existing emergency housing operation with six units that have been operating for more than one year without any substantiated complaints or code compliance actions to add up to two additional units with the approval of an amendment of the previously approved Administrative Zoning Permit (AZP). If the same project operates with eight units while meeting the criteria above, two more units may be considered for a maximum of ten with an approved AZP.

Currently, only one emergency housing program is operating at 660 S. 3rd St.

Public Hearings – Government Code section 65905.5 indicates that a local government may not hold more than five hearings to consider a proposed housing development project if the project complies with all applicable, objective general plan and zoning standards. Moreover, the law defines “Hearing” as any public hearing, workshop, or similar meeting, held by a city council, planning commission, or other departments. If a city continues a hearing, the continued hearing counts as one of the five hearings. Staff believes that this procedural benefit and streamlining effort should also apply to all projects that require a Planning Commission decision.

Current Zoning Code regulations allow a member of the City Council to request review of a resolution approved or denied by the Planning Commission, but the regulations do not allow the City Council to move a continued hearing at the Planning Commission to the City Council for a decision. A proposed change to the Zoning Code would allow a member of the City Council to move a continued hearing after two public hearings, or if no action has been taken within 180 days of the first hearing from the Planning Commission, to the City Council.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:

On April 15, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and unanimously voted to recommend approval of the proposed Zoning Code Update, with one Planning Commissioner absent.

FINDINGS:

A. The proposed zoning amendment, including any changes proposed in the various land uses to be authorized, is compatible with the objectives, policies, general land uses, and programs specified in the general plan.

The proposed updates to the Zoning Code further the goals of the General Plan by implementing reforms to reduce governmental constraints to development. Further, pursuant to Goal 10, the City “shall periodically revise its regulatory codes, ordinances and policies so that they may reflect current, upgraded standards of development and performance.” The proposed changes ensure compatibility, clarity, eliminate existing ambiguities within the Zoning Code, and are consistent with recently approved and enacted State laws.

B. The proposed zoning amendment is consistent with any applicable specific plan governing development of the subject property.

The proposed zoning code amendment is applicable citywide. No zone changes are proposed as part of this project.

C. It is in the public necessity and convenience and/or general welfare that the zoning regulations governing the property be changed.

The proposed Zoning Code amendments will not significantly alter the character of the City or cause significant health, safety or welfare concerns, since the amendments are consistent with the General Plan and directly implement City goals and policies to ensure a healthy and safe community.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed Zoning Code Amendment is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") according to the common sense exemption (State CEQA Guidelines, section 15061(b)(3)). The common sense exemption applies where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed amendment does not result in any development or changes to the physical environment and does not raise this project to a level of significance that warrants CEQA analysis.

PUBLIC NOTICE & INPUT:

Notice of this public hearing was published in the Daily Transcript on April 4, 2025 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 under “Public Hearings/Public Notices.” The notice was also mailed to the two public libraries in the City of El Cajon, located at 201 East Douglas Avenue and 576 Garfield Avenue.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the updates to the Zoning Code to ensure compatibility and consistency with recently enacted and approved State laws, as well as minor technical changes for consistency and permit streamlining.

DATE: April 22, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Barbara Watkins, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Introduction of an Ordinance for a Fee for Non-Emergent Lift Assist Services RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Moves to introduce the next Ordinance, in order;1.

Directs the City Clerk to read the Ordinance by title only; and2.

Directs the second reading of the Ordinance to be placed on the May 13, 2025 City Council agenda.

3. BACKGROUND:

On September 10, 2024, the City Council received a report detailing the rising volume of 911 calls originating from congregate care facilities within El Cajon. Congregate care facilities include licensed establishments such as skilled nursing facilities, psychiatric care facilities, and similar organizations providing care to elderly or vulnerable individuals. The report addressed the increased frequency of non-emergent lift assist calls, which are calls for assistance with individuals who have fallen but do not require immediate medical treatment.

On April 8, 2025, the subject was re-introduced to the City Council, at which time staff recommended an ordinance establishing a fee of $565 per non-emergent lift assist call, to which the City Council directed staff to return with an ordinance for first reading at the April 22nd meeting. The second reading of the ordinance is scheduled for May 13th.

The ordinance adds a section to the Municipal Code that:

Establishes the purpose of the ordinance,
Includes definitions,
Establishes a fee, and
Identifies the appeal process.

Staff have shared the draft ordinance with congregate care facility operators, and they were made aware of this introduction.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed ordinance for a non-emergent lift assist fee is not subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to section 15273(a), Rates, Tolls, Fares, and Charges, of the State CEQA Guidelines, which state that "CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, and other charges by public agencies which the public agency finds are for the purpose of meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits." FISCAL IMPACT:

The proposed fee will serve as an incentive for facility operators to implement appropriate internal protocols and resources to handle non-emergent situations without utilizing the EMS system, thereby reducing the burden on City resources. The fiscal impact of this fee is unknown at this time.

ORDINANCE NO. ___

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL CAJON ENACTING CHAPTER 8.09 OF THE

EL CAJON MUNICIPAL CODE TO IMPLEMENT A FEE FOR

NON-EMERGENCY LIFT ASSISTANCE AT LICENSED CARE FACILITIES

WHEREAS, the City of El Cajon maintains a Fire Department (the " Fire Department"), which responds to many emergency incidents in the City of El Cajon (the "City") and surrounding jurisdictions; and

WHEREAS, the Fire Department has been dispatched to licensed care and congregate care facilities in the City for the purpose of lifting non-injured residents ("non- emergency"), which responses unnecessarily occupies, delays, or prevents the Fire Department’s personnel and equipment from responding to emergency calls for service; and

WHEREAS, licensed care facilities , as defined in this ordinance, are required to provide adequate staff to meet the needs of residents in providing care and service without the need for non- emergency services, and City costs for responding t o non - emergencies at said facilities should be recovered where the facility is requesting a lift assist to be performed for non-injured residents where facility personnel can and should perform such lifts; and

WHEREAS, the fee will only be applied to non- injury lift assists in licensed care facilities where the facilities are required by law to provide adequate staffing to meet the needs of their clients; and

WHEREAS, the Fire Department will continue to provide lift assistance at no cost to residents and businesses not considered licensed care facilities.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EL CAJON DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Legislative Findings. The findings and recitals set forth above are true and correct.

SECTION 2. Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to enact Chapter 8.09 of Title 8 of the El Cajon Municipal Code to establish standards and controls to recover costs associated with non- emergency lift assist calls responded to by the Fire Department.

SECTION 3. Chapter 8.09 is added to Title 8 of the El Cajon Municipal Code to read as follows:

8.09 Fee for Non- Emergency Lift Assistance at Licensed Care Facilities

8.09.010 Purpose.

8.09.020 Definitions.

8.09.030 Determination of Non-Emergency Lift Assistance.

8.09.040 Assessment of Fee.

8.09.050 Administrative Decision.

8.09.060 Waiver of Imposition.

8.09.070 Appeal from Administrative Decision.

8.09.010 Purpose.

The purpose of this chapter is to enact a fee to recover the costs associated with the use of the 911 emergency system to dispatch personnel of the El Cajon Fire Department or its contractors and partners for non- emergency patient lift assistance at licensed care facilities. The intent is to provide a disincentive for the practice of using publicly funded emergency services to provide non- emergency assistance to a licensed care facility, which is required by law to provide adequate staffing to care for its clients.

8.09.020 Definitions.

For the purpose of this section, the following terms, phrases, words, and their derivations shall have the meanings given:

"Licensed care facility " means a facility that is required by state law to maintain a license to provide health care, community care, congregate care, assisted living, and/or residential care services. "Licensed care facilities " include (but are not limited to) skilled nursing facilities; intermediate care facilities (including those providing developmentally disabled habilitative, development disabled, developmentally disabled- nursing, continuing nursing, services); congregate living health facilities; or nursing facilities, each as defined in California Health & Safety Code section 1250 (or any successor law to section 1250) , but excluding acute care (i.e., hospital) services. "Licensed care facilities " further include any community care facilities subject to licensure from the State of California, Health & Human Services Agency, Department of Social Services pursuant to Title 22, Division 6, Chapter 1 of the California Code of Regulations, or any successor regulation replacing said chapter.

"Lift assist" means a response by a fire department emergency response unit of the city, the emergency response unit of a private contractor of the city, or the unit of another public safety department providing automatic or mutual aid to the city , to a licensed care facilit y for the purpose of lifting a fallen person to a pre-fall position.

"Non-emergency" means a determination, based upon an asses sment by the commanding officer or paramedic of the emergency response unit, that there is not an emergency medical condition or medical necessity justifying the presence of the emergency unit at the facility.

8.09.030 Determination of Non-Emergency Lift Assistance.

Based upon the assessment undertaken by the commanding officer or paramedic of an emergency response unit dispatched to a licensed care facility and their determination that no emergency medical condition or emergency medical necessity exists, but the staff of the facility desires that emergency response personnel complete a lift assist of a fallen person, the officer shall declare the incident a non-emergency lift assist in their incident report. If the commanding officer or paramedic cannot reasonably determine that a non-emergency condition exists it shall be presumed that the response was for an emergency condition or medical necessity.

8.09.040 Assessment of Fee.

The fire chief, or designee, shall be authorized to charge a fee to the owner of the licensed care facility for each incident determined to be non- emergency lift assist at licensed care facilities. The amount of the non- emergency lift assistance fee shall be established by resolution of the city council, and shall reasonably relate to the cost of providing the non- emergency service to the licensed care facility.

8.09.050 Administrative Decision.

Notice of the imposition of fees under the provisions of this chapter shall be sent to the owner , administrator, or management of the facility where the incident occurred; and may be served on the entity or person holding the license for operation of the facility.

8.09.060 Waiver of Imposition.

In the event the fire chief, or designee, determines that the determination of a commanding officer or paramedic that their finding of a non-emergency lift assist was in error or there were other mitigating facts which the commanding officer or paramedic did not possess at the time of the incident, the fire chief, or designee, may waive imposition of the applicable fee(s).

8.09.070 Appeal from Administrative Decision.

A. Any party subject to a fee under the provisions of this chapter shall have a right of appeal to the fire chief, or their designee. A notice of appeal must be submitted in writing no later than ten (10) days after issuance of the notice of the fee by invoice or other document, and must be directed to the fire chief, at the address listed on the notice of fee. The written appeal should include the fee reference number

and the party's reasoning why the determination of notice of non- emergency lift assist should be reconsidered.

B. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written appeal, an impartial review of the appeal shall be completed and a recommendation shall be presented to the fire chief, or designee, for final decision, which will be reported to the appellant in writing. Unless a notice of appeal is properly filed in accordance with this section within ten (10) days of the issuance of notice of fee, said fee is deemed final.

C. Any appeal of a fee must be conducted pursuant to
sections 1.14.100 and 1.14.110 of the El Cajon Municipal Code. Any conflict between this section and sections 1.14.100 or 1.14.110, shall be resolved in favor of the requirements in this section.

D. An administrative hearing to appeal a decision of the department to charge the fee is civil in nature and therefore the burden o f proof required is a preponderance of the evidence. In such an appeal the administrative hearing officer shall only determine whether the violations of this chapter occurred. The administrative hearing officer shall not consider the appropriateness of the amount of the fine or whether the amount of the fee is excessive or creates a financial hardship on the facility; nor shall the administrative hearing officer grant the applicant any stay of execution or delay of enforcement of a suspension or revocation sustained following the hearing.

E. The rules of evidence in an administrative hearing to appeal a decision of the department to charge the fee shall be in accordance with California Government Code sections 11513 and 11514 as those sections might be amended from time to time. Except as provided in this subdivision (E), the provisions of administrative adjudication for the State of California (Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the California Government Code) shall not apply to any administrative hearing under this chapter.

SECTION 4. Severability. If any portion of this ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, is for any reason held to be invalid, unenforceable, or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, that portion shall be deemed severable, and such invalidity, unenforceability, or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of the ordinance or its application to any other person or circumstance. The Cit y Council of the City of El Cajon hereby declares that it would have adopted each section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance irrespective of the fact that any one or more other sections, sentences, clauses, or phrases of the ordinance be declared invalid, unenforceable, or unconstitutional.

SECTION 5. Construction. The City Council of the City of El Cajon intends this ordinance to supplement, not to duplicate or contradict, applicable state and federal law, and this ordinance shall be construed in light of that intent.

SECTION 6. Environmental. This o rdinance is not subject to the Califor nia Environmental Quality Act (" CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) as it is an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

SECTION 7. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the date of its adoption.

SUBJECT: Introduction of an Ordinance for Fire Hazard Severity Zone Map RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

Moves to introduce the proposed Ordinance, in order;1.

Directs the City Clerk to read the Ordinance by title only; and2.

Directs the second reading of the Ordinance to be placed on the May 13, 2025 City Council agenda.

3. BACKGROUND:

The State of California (CalFire) regularly reviews and updates the Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps within local responsibility areas in accordance with Government Code sections 51178 and 51179. A Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) is a geographic area classified by the State as having a moderate, high, or very high wildfire hazard.

CalFire uses the best available science and data to develop and field test a model that serves as the basis of zone assignments. The model evaluates the probability of the area burning and potential fire behavior in the area. Modeling factors include fire history, vegetation, flame length, blowing embers, proximity to wildland, terrain, and weather patterns. The updated FHSZ maps for the local responsibility areas (released in March 2025) are inclusive of burn probabilities for wildland areas from 2020 fire data. The El Cajon FHSZ is attached for reference.

The purpose of these designations is to increase life safety and reduce the potential for structure ignitability by reducing fuels (defensible space) and improving construction features that would prevent ignition and ember intrusion, thereby reducing the threat of life or structure loss during a wildfire event. City staff manage fuel reduction by maintenance of City-owned lands (primarily in Fletcher Hills), Fire Inspection protocols, and through building permit plan checks of proposed structures adjacent to the FHSZ.

On March 24, 2025, CalFire released an updated FHSZ map for the City of El Cajon. On April 4, 2025, the map was posted on the City’s website and, in accordance with Government Code section 51178.5, was made available for public review and comment from April 4, 2025 until May 5, 2025. Any comments will be brought forward at the May 13th City Council meeting. .!!!!_ Valley of opportunity

"'Poratel\
Government Code section 51179 requires a local agency to adopt, by ordinance, these Fire Hazard Severity Zone determinations within 120 days of receiving them from CalFire. The City Council adopted the current FHSZ by City Council Ordinance No. 5027 on June 9, 2015, and is referenced in El Cajon Municipal Code Chapter 15.86.

Staff recommend the second reading of the ordinance at the May 13th meeting, at which point the City Council will have an opportunity to approve the final version of the ordinance. The ordinance would become effective on June 12, 2025, 30 days after adoption.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The proposed ordinance amendment is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) as it is an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact with the adoption of the proposed ordinance. Implementation of the ordinance is absorbed by each affective department's budget through their respective annual work plans.
