SECTION I – Executive Summary January 2025 - Page 1
Warner/Newhope Specific Plan
1.1 PURPOSE AND INTENT
The 37.84-acre Warner/Newhope Specific Plan is an existing development that contains a mixture of uses including the world class Los Caballeros Sports Club, owner and tenant occupied residential units, warehousing, professional offices, medical offices, self-storage, and a gymnasium. While many of these uses are separate and distinct, they share common access and/or parking making this site a truly unique mixed use development.
The Warner/Newhope Specific Plan recognizes existing uses that were established prior to the adoption of this Plan, establishes the permitted uses, baseline conditions, and development standards for the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan.
1.2 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The Warner/Newhope Specific Plan was developed to meet the following specific objectives:
• Since the majority of the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan area is developed with existing uses, this Specific Plan is expressly intended to acknowledge and accommodate those uses as well as provide flexible guidance for the future use, expansion, and improvement of the site.
• To establish the baseline development and parking conditions from which to tailor standards and regulations that governs the use and improvement of the site.
• To implement the goals, objectives, and policies of the City of Fountain Valley General Plan.
• To establish the zoning level development standards and regulations for the Specific Plan area.
• To encourage affordable housing opportunities for low and moderate income households.
SECTION I: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2.3 RELATIONSHIPS TO OTHER
REGULATORY DOCUMENTS
2.3.1 Consistency with the General Plan and
Development Code
The General Plan is often described as the constitution of a community. It describes the desired long-range future condition of a community in broad terms. The City of Fountain Valley General Plan designates the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan area as Specific Plan. This designation allows for a mixture of indoor/outdoor sports and fitness clubs, professional office, medical office, gymnasiums, self-storage, manufacturing, and residential uses.
While the General Plan designation of Specific Plan is
purposefully broad, the zoning provides more detailed land use direction for the site. The zoning designation for the site is Specific Plan (SP). As described in Section 21.12.020(C) of the City of Fountain Valley Municipal Code, “The SP zoning district is intended to address specific areas within the community that warrant a comprehensive set of land use policies and standards designed for the unique features of an area…
Sites within the SP district shall be developed according to standards adopted within the applicable specific plan to address specific site constraints and opportunities, including buffering, traffic, noise, and other land use compatibility impacts.” Accordingly, the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan provides detailed development standards and use regulations that have been tailored to address the unique conditions of this site. The Warner/Newhope Specific Plan is adopted by Ordinance; hence, the Specific Plan’s guidelines and standards serve as the zoning regulations for the Specific Plan area.
All future development plans, site plans, subdivisions, and uses within the Specific Plan area must be consistent with the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan. All projects that are found to be consistent with this Specific Plan will likewise be deemed consistent with the General Plan.

SECTION II – Introduction January 2025 - Page 5
Warner/Newhope Specific Plan
2.3.2 Compliance with the California Environmental
Quality Act
Adoption or amendment of a Specific Plan constitutes a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). A Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with CEQA (Section 15168) to analyze the environmental impacts of the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan, see Appendix C.
The 2025 amendment to increase the allowed residential
development capacity for an additional 676 residential units in Planning Areas A and C was evaluated and cleared under CEQA through the City’s General Plan Update Environmental Impact Report (EIR, SCH# 2022100563). The EIR also evaluated an additional 136 units (for a total of 812) based on the inclusion of some affordable units and the application of state density bonus law.
Future development projects and uses that are consistent with the provisions of this Specific Plan may not require further environmental documentation. For projects that are not consistent with this Specific Plan or if conditions change, a new or a focused environmental review may be necessary as described in Section 15162 of the CEQA guidelines.
2.3.3 Compliance with the Industrial Prior Area
Redevelopment ProjectGoals and Objectives
Before the dissolution of redevelopment agencies in 2012, Tthe Warner/Newhope Specific Plan is was located in the Industrial Area Redevelopment Project Area. This 498-acre
Redevelopment Project was originally adopted in 1976, and subsequently amended, with the purpose of mitigating flooding impacts, addressing disconnected land uses, improving poorly maintained structures, and correcting inadequate public improvements.
The Warner/Newhope Specific Plan complies was originally adopted in 2004 in part to implement with the goals and achieve the objectives of the Industrial Area Redevelopment Project, specifically the following:
• Promote local job opportunities. Approximately 542,000 square feet of non-residential uses can be developed in the Specific Plan, including recreational related, offices, and industrial uses.
City of Fountain Valley
Warner/Newhope Specific Plan
• Implement design and use standards to assure high aesthetics and environmental quality, and provide unity and integrity to developments within the Project Area. The Warner/Newhope Specific Plan provides development standards and design guidelines that direct the use and development of the Specific Plan.
• Address parcels of property that are: of irregular shape, are inadequately sized for proper usefulness and development, and/or are held in multiple ownerships. Several parcels, many of which are under separate ownerships, share parking and access within the Specific Plan, creating a unique development that requires tailored standards and guidelines.
• Recycle and/or develop underutilized parcels to accommodate higher and better economic uses while enhancing the City’s financial resources. The Warner/Newhope Specific Plan
provides the framework for the redevelopment and
development of parcels within the plan area while assuring that future development will not overburden shared parking facilities and that future uses are of high quality.
• Increase, improve, and preserve the community’s supply of housing affordable to very low, low, and moderate-income households. The Warner/Newhope Specific Plans provides for the development of housing units up to 20 units per acre plus a density bonus of 25% for providing affordable housingat a wide range of densities. New residential development (constructed in or after 2024) is subject to the City’s Inclusionary Housing Program and are therefore is also eligible for density bonus units per state law. The Specific Plan specifies the number of affordable units in each category that must be provided.

2.5 EXISTING SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The Warner/Newhope Specific Plan area contains a unique mixture of residential, recreational, office, light industrial, and storage uses, most of which share parking and access. In order to clearly describe the various uses on the site, the
Warner/Newhope Specific Plan is divided into planning areas.
2.5.1 Planning Areas
As shown on Figure 3, Planning Areas, the following twelve planning areas and two sub-planning areas contain the various uses on the site:
Planning Area A
This 10.2-acre Planning Area contains the Los Caballeros Sports Club. This approximately 127,747-square foot state of the art facility includes a fitness center that houses the cardiovascular, strength training, and free weight areas.
The sports club also provides two full-size basketball courts, two arena soccer stadiums, indoor & outdoor sand volleyball courts, sixteen indoor racquetball/handball courts, two squash courts, and thirty outdoor tennis courts including peewee courts and an outdoor paddle tennis court. The Sports Club also provides a 50- meter Olympic pool, a 30x60 training pool, and a 24x54 wading pool.
The Sports Club includes full catering and banquet facilities, a restaurant, bar, snack bar, a hair salon, an entertainment center, and a pro shop.
In addition to the physical facilities provided on site, the Sports Club offers numerous classes including one-on-one and group training, over 40 aerobic classes per week, cycling classes, mind/body classes, fitness assessments, tanning beds, physical therapy, massage center, and martial arts.

DEVELOPMENT ENTITLEMENT HISTORY
As noted, the majority of the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan has been developed. City authorization for this development began in 1977 with the approval of Conditional Use Permit No. 231, which established the Racquet and Sports Club. Since that time, there have been numerous City actions regarding
expansions/modifications to the sports club and numerous new uses.
While this Specific Plan outlines the baseline conditions for future modifications, a sense of the entitlement history is important.
Please see Appendix D for the chronology of the entitlement history of development in the Specific Plan area.

3.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This section describes the land use plan for the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan. The land use plan is shown on Figure 4, Land Use Plan. A description of the corresponding land use categories is provided on Table 1, Land Use Categories.
The concept for the approximately 37-acre Warner/Newhope Specific Plan area is that of a mixed-use facility with shared parking and access facilities. The Warner/Newhope Specific Plan accommodates the Los Caballeros Sports Club, owner and tenant occupied residential units, warehousing, professional offices, medical offices, self-storage, and a gymnasium.
3.1.1 Land Use Designations
In order to describe the allowable uses within this mixed-use facility, the twelve Planning Areas and two Sub-Planning Areas identified in Figure 3, Planning Areas, are utilized.
The land use categories for the Warner/Newhope are shown on Table 1, Land Use Categories. The Warner/Newhope contains five separate land use categories that describe the intended use of the land as well as the standards for development.
Since many parcels share parking and access, in most instances the land use designations correspond with the Planning Areas, as shown in Figure 3, and not the legal parcel boundaries.
If individual property owners desire to develop their properties to the parcel lines, then the designation of the Planning Area on which the main structure is situated may be extended to the parcel lines. Any shared parking that may be lost must also be replaced at a one-to-one ratio.
Residential Density
The maximum residential density standards for each Planning Area is are described on in Table 1.
It is important to note that the maximum density for the residential uses existing as of the adoption of this Specific Plan was not determined on the traditional parcel-by-parcel basis. Due to historic mixture of uses and shared parking arrangement, the SECTION III: DEVELOPMENT PLAN
City of Fountain Valley
Warner/Newhope Specific Plan
maximum density was instead determined by evaluating the range of permitted residential intensities in each Planning Area along with combining the densities and acreages for the parcels that contained residential uses and reserved parking for residential units. Specifically, the units and acreage for the following Planning Areas were combined to determine residential density:
Non-Residential Intensity
The maximum non-residential intensity for each parcel is also described on in Table 1. The maximum non-residential intensity is expressed as a “Floor Area Ratio” (FAR), which is the ratio of building area to lot area. The maximum permitted FAR is based upon existing development, if any, and a reasonable amount of future development potential. For a detailed breakdown of the existing and permitted non-residential intensities for each parcel, see Appendix G, Non-Residential Intensity Analysis.
Planning Area A = 10.2 acres and 0 units.
Planning Area B = 2.9 acres and 185 units.
Planning Area B-1 = 1.4 acres and 0 units.
Planning Area B-2 = .26 acres and 24 units.
Planning Area L = 4.43 acres and 123 units.
Totals 19.2 acres and 332 units
Or 17.3 units per acre
In this manner, the maximum density set forth in the General Plan (20 dwelling units per acre) is able to be maintained.
Future projects within Planning Areas A, B, B-1, B-2, and L will be required to utilize this method to determine residential density and may not exceed the density threshold as noted on Table 1. The density for future projects located outside of these Planning Areas shall be as noted on Table 1.

Circulation and Parking Plan
Since a multitude of uses share parking and ingress/egress, the ability to maintain adequate access to these networks is a critical consideration of the plan.
3.1.2 Vehicular Circulation
As shown on Figure 5, Vehicular Circulation Plan, Planning Areas A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and K include four access points, including two common vehicular access points, two emergency access points, and a common internal circulation system that provides access to parking and each separate facility.
The primary access to Planning Areas A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and K is taken from Newhope Street from a controlled
intersection. The secondary access is also from Newhope Street from an uncontrolled intersection south of the main entrance and Planning Area J (Self-storage facility).
There are two emergency access points to Planning Areas A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and K. The northerly emergency access point goes around the racquetball building and continues westerly along the tennis courts and terminates in an easement that provides access to Newhope Street. The second emergency access point is located in the southeastern corner of the site adjacent to the Santa Ana River.
The existing northerly emergency access is 23 feet wide. The Fire Department has determined that this access way is of a sufficient width to comply with their needs and accommodate future development. The emergency access ways must be
maintained free and clear of obstructions, encroachments, and parking along its entire length from ground to sky.
Planning Areas J (Self-storage) and L (Residential) each provide their own separate access and emergency vehicular access points.
3.1.3 Parking Provided
In the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan, a total of 1,357 parking spaces are currently provided. These spaces are provided to each Planning Area as shown on Figure 6, Parking Plan, and detailed as follows:
City of Fountain Valley
Warner/Newhope Specific Plan
TABLE 2
PARKING PROVIDED
Planning Area Number of Spaces Provided
L 232 private (all in Planning Area L)
J 50 private (all in Planning Area J)
I 15 shared spaces
B (44 and 84 unit) 128 reserved spaces (all in
Planning Area B-1)
A, A-1, B, B-2, C, D, E, F, G,
and H
932 shared spaces (all in Planning
Areas K and K-1)
Total 1,357 (947 shared spaces)
As noted in Table 2, 947 of the parking spaces within the Specific Plan are “shared” among several planning areas. Typically, the necessary parking is provided for each use within the parcel on which the use is located. In the shared parking concept, a number of uses jointly utilize a pool of common parking spaces.
The theory behind this concept is that parking is utilized more efficiently in this manner and the space that would typically have to be devoted to parking may be utilized for other uses.
In the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan, the shared parking spaces are not located on a single parcel but instead are located on separate parcels. A reciprocal parking, access, and maintenance agreement has been in place since 1980 to accommodate the development of these separate parcels around common parking and access.
3.1.4 Required Parking
Given the unique nature of the site, the mixture of uses, the sharing of parking among several separate parcels, and the historic development pattern based upon shared parking, the required amount of parking is not based upon the parking standards outlined in Chapter 21.22 of the Fountain Valley Municipal Code, but instead upon the actual demand for parking.
The exception being Planning Areas J and L, which are self contained and must meet the parking standards as specified in this Specific Plan.

SECTION III – Development Plan January 2025 - Page 31
Warner/Newhope Specific Plan
Projects Participating in the Reciprocal Parking Agreement (Shared parking)
There are a total of 947-shared parking spaces in the
Warner/Newhope Specific Plan. These shared parking spaces are located in Planning Areas K and K-1. The shared parking spaces are all surface parking except for 164 spaces that are located in the upper level of the parking structure.
A parking demand study, conducted by Stevens-Garland
Associates in June 2004, has established the baseline condition for parking use and demand for Planning Areas A, A-1, B, B-2, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I (See Appendix B). Based upon this study, it has been determined that out of the 947 shared parking spaces, an average of 7767% are utilized at any one time. This means that, on average, 33% or 315 shared parking spaces are
available. As of June 2004, even if a 10% increase in parking usage is assumed, there is still ample shared parking to satisfy parking demand. Based upon this evidence, there is adequate parking on-site to satisfy demand.
In order to ensure adequate parking in the future, all new structures and expansions to existing buildings in Planning Areas that participate in the shared parking arrangement (Planning Areas A, A-1, B, B-2, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I) shall be required to verify that at least 5% (or 47 spaces) of the 947 shared parking spaces are open and available at peak periods (9-10 AM and 4-5 PM). If the 5% limit is reached, then new parking will be required to be accommodated in the amount necessary to meet the
demands of the proposed project. Accordingly, all new structures and expansions will be required to submit a parking study to verify the existing parking demand within Planning Areas K, K-1, and I to quantify the projected parking demand of the proposed
use/expansion.
There shall be no reduction in the total amount of shared parking.
Any shared parking spaces that are proposed to be eliminated shall be replaced on a one-to-one basis within the Specific Plan area.
Projects Not Participating in the Reciprocal Parking Agreement Planning Area L, which is zoned High Density Residential, is required to comply with the parking standards contained in Chapter 21.22, Parking and Loading, of the Fountain Valley
City of Fountain Valley
Warner/Newhope Specific Plan
Municipal Code. At the time of the adoption of this Specific Plan, multi-family dwellings were required to provide the following:
• 1.5 spaces per studio or one bedroom unit with one space per unit in a garage or carport
• 2 spaces per two or more bedroom unit plus an additional 0.5 spaces for each bedroom over two. One enclosed space is required for each two-bedroom unit and two enclosed spaces are required for each three or more bedroom units.
• 25% of total required spaces must be provided for guest parking.
Planning Area J, which is zoned CM, Commercial Manufacturing, is a personal storage facility and currently provides 50 parking spaces on-site. Future development of this Planning Area will be required to comply with Chapter 21.22, Parking and Loading, of the Fountain Valley Municipal Code, which requires one parking space per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area plus two spaces for manager office/residence.

3.2.1 General Plan
The purpose of the City of Fountain Valley’s Housing Element of the General Plan, which was adopted in November 2000, is to ensure the City establishes policies, procedures and incentives that will result in the maintenance and expansion of the supply of affordable housing. The Housing Element institutes policies that will guide City decision-makingdecision , andmaking and establishes an action program to implement housing goals through 2005.
New residential development in the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan will contribute toward the achievement of the following goals in the Housing Element:
Goal 1: Promote and encourage the development of a variety of housing opportunities to accommodate current and projected households.Goal 3: Promote and encourage affordable housing opportunities.
Goal 2: Assist in the provision of housing affordable to lower income households. Goal 4: Promote and encourage the
development of a variety of housing opportunities suitable to the needs of, and sufficient in number to accommodate current and projected households.
Goal 3: Address and, where possible, remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, including housing for people at all income levels, as well as housing for people with disabilities.
Goal 65. Promote housing opportunities for all persons regardless of race, age, religion, sex, marital status, disability status, ancestry, national origin, or color. To promote housing opportunities for all persons regardless of race, age, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, or color.

Accordingly, 20% of the total number of proposed dwelling units can be for lower income households; or 10% of the total number of proposed dwelling units are for very low income households; or 50% of the total number of proposed dwelling units are for qualifying residents, as defined in state law.
3.2.3 Requirements in a Redevelopment Area
Since the Warner/Newhope Specific Plan is located in a
redevelopment project area, 15% of all new or rehabilitated units within the Specific Plan area that are developed by private or public entities, other that the Redevelopment Agency, shall be available at affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, persons and families of low or moderate income. Not less than 40% of the dwelling units required to be available at affordable housing costs shall be reserved for very low-income households.
Long-term covenants shall be required to be maintained on dwelling units at affordable housing costs to, and occupied by, persons and families of low and very low income for not less than 55 years for rental units and 45 years for owner-occupied units.
Previous references in the Specific Plan to redevelopment law, when originally adopted in 2004, are no longer relevant given the dissolution of redevelopment agencies in 2012.

CITY COUNCIL
COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: January 21, 2025
Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: A Public Hearing to consider Code Amendments 25-01, 25-02 and 25-03 to the Crossings Specific Plan, Southpark Specific Plan and Warner/Newhope Specific Plan, respectively to allow for new/additional residential uses, consistent with the General Plan and 2021-2029 Housing Element
Three-Year Strategic Goals
☐ Enhance the culture and environment of “A Nice Place to Live” ☐ Attract and retain revenue producing businesses
☐ Achieve fiscal stability in accordance with the 20-Year Financial Plan ☐ Attract and retain quality staff
☒ Not applicable
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In November and December of 2023, the City adopted its Comprehensive Update to the General Plan, including an updated Housing Element and rezones of several property sites.
The City now has until February 12, 2025 to rezone the remainder of the opportunity sites listed in the Housing Element to address its Regional Housing Needs Assessment Allocation (RHNA) for 2021 – 2029 and retain a certified Housing Element. The City’s RHNA allocation for this period is 4,839 housing units. The City’s primary responsibility as part of the RHNA is to find adequate sites to accommodate these new housing units and to zone them accordingly. The City has three remaining sites to rezone, all of which are in Specific Plan Areas: they include the Crossings, Southpark and Warner/Newhope Specific Plans.
The environmental analysis for the rezones was prepared as part of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the General Plan and is included as an attachment to this Staff Report. If adequate rezoning is not conducted by the February 12, 2025 deadline, the City’s Housing Element will fall out of compliance until such time that the rezoning is completed.
The Planning Commission considered the Code Amendments at its regularly scheduled meeting on January 8, 2025 and by a vote of 5-0, recommended that the City Council approve Code Amendments 25-01, 25-02 and 25-03.
DISCUSSION
The City’s certified Housing Element identified three areas zoned with Specific Plans to be amended to allow for new or additional housing units to meet the City’s RHNA obligation.
Below is a summary table of the residential capacity identified for each Specific Plan area
Council Action Request
City Council Meeting January 21, 2025

Los Cab Sports Village1 14.74 45 99 200 377 676
1. While the Housing Element listed 663 units, the General Plan considered 676 units and accounted for the potential application of a 20% density bonus. Accordingly, the number of above moderate and total units is shown consistent with the 676 figure.
Crossings Specific Plan
The Crossings Specific Plan is divided into four Districts with an additional Activity Core Overlay that encompasses multiple Districts. Currently, the Crossings Specific Plan allows for a total of 491 residential units focused in the Activity Core and Workplace Neighborhood Districts. The intent of allowing for residential uses in the Crossings area was to create an active and vibrant community that could live close to retail/commercial uses and to assist with the revitalization of the area.
Consistent with the General Plan and 2021-2029 Housing Element, Code Amendment 25-01 would increase the number of residential units permitted or conditionally permitted in the Crossings area from 491 to 1,100 units.
Southpark Specific Plan
The Southpark Specific Plan was identified in the Housing Element as an opportunity site that could accommodate 1,100 new housing units. The land is currently vacant and the Specific Plan area has previously identified these remaining sites for a wide range of uses including certain types of retail, office and industrial businesses. The remainder of the Specific Plan is zoned for similar uses and contains large industrial buildings and a retail center anchored by Costco.
The currently vacant portions of the Specific Plan area could all be utilized for residential purposes, however it is more likely that, if constructed, the new homes would be located on a portion of the 35.35 acre site and the remainder would be utilized for mixed-use or retail. In terms of development standards that would apply to any possible future residential development, there are two options: create a unique set of standards for this particular area or utilize standards already found in the Fountain Valley Municipal Code. Staff is recommending the latter, with use of the R-5 Very High Density Residential Zone standards in addition to the MU-2 Mixed Use 2 standards. Depending on market conditions, the property owner or potential developer would have the option of utilizing either or both of the zoning districts throughout the 35 acre site. Staff anticipates that the MU-2 standards may be used at the corners of Euclid/Talbert and/or Euclid/Slater which would be ideal locations for retail development, while the R-5 zoning standards would be used in the mid-block area.
Council Action Request
City Council Meeting January 21, 2025
As this is a large vacant site and as market conditions continue to change, future development may require some refinement to the Specific Plan, based on project specifics, demographics and demand for residential/retail uses at the time of development.
One additional change of significance is the allowance for land dedication in-lieu of providing inclusionary housing on-site. The City’s inclusionary housing ordinance currently requires that 15% of the units (calculated on base density) in a project of 10 or more homes be affordable to low and very-low income residents. The ordinance further allow for an in-lieu fee to be paid as an alternative. The owner of the impacted land in the Southpark Specific Plan area would also like the option of dedicating land to the City as a third alternative. Any land dedication, as proposed, would need to meet certain criteria, including that it: be of adequate size and capacity to accommodate the required number of affordable units; carry the appropriate zoning; carry appropriate infrastructure at the time of dedication; and that is otherwise generally suitable for residential development and at a value that in line with the number of affordable units due to the City.
Consistent with the General Plan and 2021-2029 Housing Element, Code Amendment 25-02 would allow up to 1,100 housing units as part of standalone residential or mixed-use projects in the Southpark area.
Warner/Newhope Specific Plan
The Warner/Newhope Specific Plan area consists office and residential uses and the Los Caballeros Sports Village (Los Cab). The owner of Los Cab indicated through the Housing Element Update process, an interest in converting the Sports Club area into residences. As such, the City indicated that the site and some surrounding areas posed as an opportunity site for 676 homes over 14.74 acres. Consistent with the General Plan and 2021-2029 Housing Element, Code Amendment 25-03 would add capacity for an additional 676 housing units and add residential uses as permitted in Planning Areas A, C and K, in which Los Cab and parking areas are located. It also defers development standards to those existing in the R-5 zone.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
There is no direct financial impact related to this action.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
Public hearing notices were mailed to all property owners within 1000 feet of properties considered for rezoning. The item was also published in the Orange County Register and notices were posted at City Hall, Recreation Center and the Fountain Valley Library.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REVIEW
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared by PlaceWorks under the direction of the City for the General Plan and Housing Element Updates. The adopted EIR analyzed the environmental impacts of building under the General Plan and Housing Element Updates pursuance to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the Fountain Valley City Council certified the General Plan Update EIR on November 21, 2023. The proposed ordinances are consistent with the certified EIR and no additional CEQA review was found be required.

CITY COUNCIL
COUNCIL ACTION REQUEST
To: Honorable Mayor and Agenda Date: February 4th, 2025 Members of the City Council
SUBJECT: Request Approval of the following: 1. Follow the Bidding Exceptions per FVMC 2.36.070 (a)(4) and authorize Staff to purchase and equip a 2028 Pierce Enforcer fire engine in the amount of $1,200,000, and 2. Authorize Staff to dispose of one surplus 2001 American La France fire engine by means following the guidelines of the Carl Moyer grant process to receive reimbursement funds totaling $187,331.00 upon receipt of the 2028 Pierce fire engine.
Three-Year Strategic Goals
☐ Enhance the culture and environment of “A Nice Place to Live” ☐ Achieve fiscal stability by evaluating processes, and attract and retain revenue producing businesses/opportunities.
☐ Attract and retain quality staff through best practices and trends ☒ Maintain, build, and modernize infrastructure to support growth and future needs of the City
☐ Not applicable
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff is requesting that the City Council waive the bidding requirements pursuant of FVMC
2.36.070 (a)(4) and authorize staff to issue the purchase order totaling $1,089,145.78 to South Coast Fire Equipment for the purchase of the following fire engine through the existing cooperative contract with Sourcewell, and authorize staff to dispose of the existing apparatus through the Carl Moyer grant process.
1. One (1) new Pierce Enforcer Fire Engine for $1,089,145.78 The 2028 Pierce fire engine will replace the 2001 American La France fire engine unit number 8210. The fire department adopted the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) recommendation to remove apparatus from front-line service after 15 years of frontline service. The 2001 American La France fire engine will exceed NFPA 1901’s recommendation to remove the apparatus from all emergency services, including reserve status, before the acquisition of the 2028 Pierce fire engine. The Fire department is a
Council Action Request
2028 Pierce Fire Engine Purchase
recipient of the Carl Moyer Grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District AQMD for the amount of $187,331. The grant from AQMD will help offset the cost of the new Pierce fire engine, benefiting both the department and the environment. The grant specifies that the Pierce fire engine must meet specific emissions standards, and the dismantling of engine 8210 must be completed in an environmentally responsible manner.
The funds for the grant will be reimbursed to the city when the new fire engine is received by the city, and all requirements of the grant have been met.
Staff recommends to: 1. Follow the bidding exceptions per FVMC 2.36.070 (a)(4) and authorize staff to purchase and equip a 2028 Pierce Enforcer fire engine in the Amount of $1,200,000, and 2. Authorize staff to dispose of one surplus 2001 American La France fire engine as outlined in the Carl Moyer AQMD grant process.
DISCUSSION:
The new 2028 Pierce fire engine will replace the 2001 American La France fire engine unit 8210. The fire department has set a 15-year life cycle for front-line service, with an additional 10 years of reserve status. The 2001 American La France has completed its life cycle with the city. The fire department received the Carl Moyer Grant contract from the South Coast Air Management District AQMD for $187,331. The AQMD award will partially reimburse the city for the cost of the new fire engine, benefiting both the department and the environment. The award requires that fire engine 8210 fulfill specified emissions requirements and be dismantled in an environmentally responsible manner.
Staff recognizes the importance of fire engines that provide reliable service. Having higher-quality fire engines reduces the amount of time that front-line equipment is out of service and provides more predictable and acceptable fleet maintenance costs. The Apparatus Committee researched many fire apparatus manufacturers and determined that Pierce builds a quality product that best serves the city. Part of the apparatus committee’s research included talking with other agencies within the county about which manufacturer they use and found that most agencies within Orange County have Pierce fire apparatus because of their proven performance record, safety, and long-term reliability. As such, the fire department recommends continuing with the Pierce product, which has now been vetted with the purchase of one 2023 fire engine, the 2020 tractordrawn aerial (tiller truck), and one 2017 Pierce fire engine.
Staff has identified an existing cooperative contract through Sourcewell (Contract #113021), formerly the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), that can be used for the purchase of these vehicles. Sourcewell combines the buying power of 50,000 government, education, and nonprofit organizations through nationally competitively solicited cooperative contracts. Cooperative purchasing is “Procurement conducted by, or on behalf of, one or more Public Procurement Units” as defined by the American Bar Association Model Procurement Code for State and Local Governments. Sourcewell’s rigorous process streamlines the procurement process by developing Invitation for Bids and Request for Proposals for national, competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local
Council Action Request
2028 Pierce Fire Engine Purchase
requirements. Sourcewell issued a Request for Proposal (RFP), which was publicly advertised in October of 2021 for the procurement of Class 4-8 Chassis with Related Equipment, Accessories, and Services. The cooperative contract for Firefighting Apparatus and Fire Service Vehicles expires February 12, 2026, and is available for use by government and state agencies, including cities. The City can utilize the cooperative contract to purchase the vehicles at a competitive price in compliance with the City’s purchasing policy. Section 2.36.070 (a)(4) of the Fountain Valley Municipal Code authorizes the procurement of goods and services without formal bidding under the following circumstance: “When participating in cooperative contracts with another government agency.” The total cost to purchase the new Pierce fire engine from South Coast Fire Equipment, utilizing the existing cooperative contract with Sourcewell is $1,089,145.78. Replacing the existing fire engine (Unit No. 8210) will support the City’s strategic goal of maintaining, building, and modernizing infrastructure to support the growth and future needs of the City.
Electronic Outfitting New Fire Engine
Final outfitting of the new fire engine with equipment such as, but not limited to, radios, chargers, and onboard computer systems specific to fire apparatus within Orange County will be required once the apparatus is delivered to Fountain Valley. Staff recommends the use of Johnson Equipment Company, which has performed this type of work on other Fountain Valley Fire Department emergency vehicles and was significantly less expensive than one of their competitors. The electronics outfitting will take place after an approximate 44-month build process.
JOHNSON EQUIPMENT $ 32,528.39
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The cost to purchase and equip the Pierce fire engine is listed below. Included with the listed engine price is a 100% prepay discount, which is offered at contract signing or with a lease. A performance bond ensures that the city will receive its money back should the builder default on the build contract and will be paid for by Pierce.
Equipment Cost
2028 Pierce Fire Engine with a 100% pre-payment discount ($148,409.00) 1,089,145.78

Council Action Request
2028 Pierce Fire Engine Purchase
The cost of the new fire engine will be expended in the Fire Fighting & Rescue Equipment account within the Fleet Management Internal Service Fund, 112.60.60052.55601. A sufficient budget exists within this account to fund the pre-payment of the Pierce Fire Engine.
When the 2028 Pierce Enforcer PUC is delivered to the city of Fountain Valley and inspected by a designated AQMD representative, all aspects of the Carl Moyer Grant are fulfilled. The City of Fountain Valley will be awarded the amount of $187,331 from the South Coast Air Management District AQMD.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION:
Not applicable.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REVIEW:
The purchase of the 2028 Pierce fire engine and the disposal of the 2001 American La France fire engine will have a positive environmental impact. The 2028 Pierce fire engine complies with California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) emissions, reducing pollutants like nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. Additionally, the Carly Moyer AQMD Grant requires the 2001 American La France fire engine to be dismantled in an environmentally responsible manner.

South Coast Fire Equipment is pleased to submit a proposal to Fountain Valley Fire Department for a Pierce® multi purpose response vehicle per your request for quotation. The following paragraphs will describe in detail the apparatus, construction methods, and equipment proposed. This proposal will indicate size, type, model and make of components parts and equipment, providing proof of compliance with each and every item (except where noted) in the departments advertised specifications.
PIERCE MANUFACTURING was founded in 1913. Since then we have been building bodies with one philosophy, "BUILD THE FINEST". Our skilled craftsmen take pride in their work, which is reflected, in the final product. We have been building fire apparatus since the early "forties" giving Pierce Manufacturing over 75 years of experience in the fire apparatus market. Pierce Manufacturing has built and put into service more than 62,500 apparatus, including more than 33,900 on Pierce custom chassis designed and built specifically for fire and emergency applications. Our Appleton, Wisconsin facility has over 870,000 total square feet of floor space situated on approximately 105 acres of land. Our Bradenton, Florida facility has 300,000 square feet of floor space situated on approximately 38 acres of land.
Our beliefs in high ethical standards are carried through in all of our commitments and to everyone with whom we do business. Honesty, Integrity, Accountability and Citizenship are global tenets by which we all live and work. Consequently, we neither engage in, nor have we ever been convicted of price fixing, bid rigging, or collusion in any domestic or international fire apparatus market.
Pierce has only one brand of fire apparatus "Pierce", ensuring you are receiving top of the line product that meets your specification.
In accordance with the current edition of applicable NFPA standards, this proposal will specify whether the fire department, manufacturer, or apparatus dealership will provide required loose equipment.
Images and illustrative material in this proposal are as accurate as known at the time of publication, but are subject to change without notice. Images and illustrative material is for reference only, and may include optional equipment and accessories and may not include all standard equipment.
GENERAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
To control quality, ensure compatibility, and provide a single source for service and warranty, the custom cab, chassis, pump module and body will be entirely designed, assembled/welded and painted in Pierce owned manufacturing facilities. This includes, but not limited to the cab weldment, the pumphouse module assembly, the chassis assembly, the body and the electrical system.
QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP
Pierce has set the pace for quality and workmanship in the fire apparatus field. Our tradition of building the highest quality units with craftsmen second to none has been the rule right from the beginning and we demonstrate that ongoing commitment by: Ensuring all steel welding follows American Welding Society D1.1-2004 recommendations for structural steel welding. All aluminum welding follows American Welding society and ANSI D1.2-2003 requirements for structural welding of
As Proposed 18 of 131 12-11-23
aluminum. All sheet metal welding follows American welding Society B2.1-2000 requirements for structural welding of sheet metal. Our flux core arc welding uses alloy rods, type 7000 and is performed to American Welding Society standards A5.20-E70T1. Furthermore, all employees classified as welders are tested and certified to meet the American welding Society codes upon hire and every three (3) years thereafter. Pierce also employs and American Welding Society certified welding inspector in plant during working hours to monitor weld quality.
Pierce Manufacturing operates a Quality Management System under the requirements of ISO 9001.
These standards sponsored by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specify the quality systems that are established by the manufacturer for design, manufacture, installation and service. A copy of the certificate of compliance is included with this proposal.
In addition to the Quality Management system, we also employ a Quality Achievement Supplier program to insure the vendors and suppliers that we utilize meet the high standards we demand. That is just part of our overall "Quality at the Source" program at Pierce.
To demonstrate the quality of our products and services, a list of at least twenty five (25) fire departments/municipalities that have purchased vehicles for a second time is provided.
