INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: John Montanchez
Dept: City Manager Dept: Community Services
Date: 11/26/2024
Subject: Consideration of a written request from West Garden Grove Youth Baseball for the co-sponsorship of the 2025 Opening Day Parade on Saturday, February 8, 2025. (Estimated cost: $8,120)(Action Item)

OBJECTIVE
To transmit a letter from the West Garden Grove Youth Baseball organization requesting cosponsorship of the Opening Day Parade and approval of city street closures on Saturday, February 8, 2025.

BACKGROUND
The West Garden Grove Youth Baseball (WGGYB) organization holds the annual Opening Day Parade that includes baseball players and softball players in Garden Grove, members of the Garden Grove Unified School District Board and school officials, the Orange County Fire Authority, and the Garden Grove City Council.

The WGGYB is a 501(c)3 organization that is in good standing with the Internal Revenue Service. Additionally, more than fifty percent of the participants are Garden Grove residents.

DISCUSSION
The WGGYB is requesting City Council approval for co-sponsorship of the 2025 Opening Day Parade on Saturday, February 8, 2025. Additionally, the organization is requesting approval of all street closures required for the parade route between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. The parade route has been reviewed by the Garden Grove Police Department Traffic Division, who will also provide staff support for the closure of city streets during the event.

The parade begins at 8:00 a.m., in front of Edgar Park, and will travel eastbound on Lampson Avenue before ending at Bell Intermediate School. The WGGYB will be responsible for notifying all residents and businesses impacted by street closures along the parade route.

Item 463/2024

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Co-sponsorship for the 2025 Opening Day Parade will require in-kind contribution from the City in the form of staff time and equipment used for the event. It is estimated that the cost to provide Police service, Public Works Streets Division service and equipment required to close city streets is approximately $7,370. Additionally, the rental and staff time for use of the showmobile stage is $750. The total in-kind contribution is estimated to be $8,120. These expenses will be absorbed within the current Police, Public Works, and Community Services departments’ operating budgets.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
 Consider the written request on behalf of the West Garden Grove Youth Baseball organization for co-sponsorship of the Opening Day Parade on Saturday, February 8, 2025.

Honorable Mayor, City Councilmembers and GGPD,
On behalf of the West Garden Grove Youth Baseball Executive Board, I am appreciative of the city's continued support of WGGYB and our Opening Day Parade throughout the years. We are beyond grateful for council’s vote at last year’s meeting for approval to waive the full cost for Police support, rental of the City’s showmobile stage, and staff for all future WGGYB Opening Day Parades. We would also like for the City Council to approve all street closures required for the parade route during the event hours.

The legacy of Opening Day Parade has been a part of the West Garden Grove community for almost 60years. It is the official start of our spring baseball season and is an exciting event for new and returning players, coaches, and families. Our league is a 501(c)(3) organization open to all residents of Garden Grove. This year’s annual Opening Day Parade with WGGYB and WGGGSL will be Saturday, February 8, 2025.

I would like to invite the Mayor and Councilmembers to attend this event as honored guests. If you are able to participate as a dignitary in our Opening Day Parade, please email Liz Wilson at [email protected].

We appreciate everything the City of Garden Grove has done for West Garden Grove Youth Baseball and we look forward to providing many more years of wonderful parades, baseball, and community events to our city.

Thank you,
Liz Wilson
WGGYB Director of Events

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Patricia Song
Dept: City Manager Dept: Finance
Date: 11/26/2024
Subject: Review of Automatic Pass-Through Adjustments for Purchased Water Costs. (Action Item continued from the November 12, 2024 meeting)

OBJECTIVE
To request that the City Council review and file the automatic pass-through adjustment calculation for increased wholesale water delivery charges, effective January 1, 2025.

BACKGROUND
This item is a continuation from the City Council meeting held on November 12, 2024. At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to further review the proposed $0.20 per 100 cubic feet adjustment to the Water Commodity Delivery Charge, analyze the calculation, and explore potential options to reduce the adjustment. In response, staff collaborated with the City’s rate consultant, FG Solutions, to address the City Council’s request.

The City’s Water Utility fund pays for wholesale water purchases from the Metropolitan Water District of Orange County (MET), and the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). The City also pays a replenishment assessment to Orange County Water District (OCWD) for groundwater supply.

Ordinance No. 2948 adopted by the City Council on December 12, 2023 provides for automatic pass-through adjustment to changes in costs of wholesale water purchases.

Section 1.D of the ordinance states that “The Commodity Delivery Charge shall be automatically adjusted to reflect adopted increases or decreases in wholesale charges for water established by other public agencies from which the City of Garden Grove purchases water to the extent such increases or decreases are not reflected in the schedule of charges then in effect. The amount of any such automatic adjustments shall be calculated by the Finance Director, or his designee, and shall be presented to the City Council for review.” Passing through wholesale water purchase cost increases to ratepayers enables the City to recover water delivery expenses and comply with covenant requirements associated with its outstanding water bonds.

Item 496/2024

DISCUSSION
MET, MWDOC and OCWD have adopted their rate and fee adjustments for FY 2024-25. As a result, and in accordance with Ordinance 2948, the City will pass the increases to its water customers.

The illustration below provides for the basis of the pass-through rate adjustment.

(L) Bi-Monthly Commodity Delivery Charge per Ordinance No. 2948, Section 1.B for Calendar Year 2025.

Item 496/2024

Based on the above calculation, the Commodity Delivery Charge will increase by $0.20 per billing unit, or 100 cubic feet, for calendar year 2025 from the base rate established for that year by Ordinance No. 2948. The adjustment reflects the actual cost increase of wholesale water the City has to incur to continue to provide water to its residents. The City is authorized to automatically adjust the Commodity Delivery Charge component based upon actual increases incurred by the City for acquiring groundwater and imported water.

The table below presents the current year commodity delivery charge, alongside with the preestablished rates for calendar year 2025, and the adjusted 2025 rates:

With this adjustment, it is estimated that the average residential customer’s water bill will increase by approximately $3.63 per month (assuming a 5/8 x 3/4-inch meter and 22 CCF of water use), or $7.26 on each bi-monthly bill. The new rate will take effect on January 1, 2025.

Notice of Change in Water Commodity Delivery Charges provided to all City water customers at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of rate change.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed pass-through increase to the Water Commodity Delivery Charge is essential for the Water Utility to meet its financial obligations and continue funding its capital improvement and replacement programs. Without this adjustment, the Water Utility fund would face a $1.6 million deficit. This shortfall could lead to potential violations of the rate covenant under the Garden Grove Public Financing Authority Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2020A. Furthermore, the Utility would be forced to postpone the water main replacement project, leading to increased future repair costs, challenges in meeting the new mandated water quality standards, and delays in the implementation of the five-year water capital improvement plan.

These setbacks could ultimately result in higher water rates for the City’s customers.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
 Review and file the Water Commodity Delivery Charge Adjustment Calculation for Calendar Year 2025 regarding the automatic pass-through adjustments for purchase water costs.

Subject: Notice of Change in Water Commodity Delivery Charges Dear Water Customer:

The City of Garden Grove is committed to providing over 34,200 customers with a reliable, high quality and cost efficient water service that protects public health, provides fire protection and creates opportunities for economic growth within the community. We value customer service first and foremost by keeping our customers well-informed.

To fully serve our customers, the City must purchase water from wholesale providers including Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MET) and Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). We are also required to pay a replenishment assessment fee to Orange County Water District (OCWD). These public agencies have adopted their rate and fee adjustments for FY 2024-25.

The City needs to pass through wholesale water rate and assessment fee increases to generate sufficient funds required to maintain and operate the City’s water system, repay bonded indebtedness, and comply with regulations imposed by State and Federal agencies. Therefore, pursuant to Government Code section 53756, the Garden Grove City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2948 to allow automatic adjustment to the water commodity delivery charges to offset changes in wholesale water rates and replenishment assessment.

The City’s water rates for metered service include three components: (1) a minimum service charge based on meter size; (2) a capital recovery charge based on meter size; and (3) a commodity delivery charge based on water usage. This adjustment applies only to the commodity delivery charge.

Based on the calculations, the commodity delivery charge will increase by $0.20 per billing unit from the scheduled 2025 rates. Comparing to the current commodity delivery charge, Tier 1 customers will see an increase of $0.33 per billing unit, and increase to Tier 2 customers is $0.58. Beginning January 1, 2025, Tier 1 customer’s commodity delivery charge will be $3.73 per billing unit, and for Tier 2, it will be $5.87. With this adjustment, the average residential customer’s water bill will increase by approximately $3.63 per month (assuming a 5/8 x 3/4- inch meter and 22 HCF of water usage), or $7.26 on each bi-monthly bill. Actual change will be based on usage. The new rates will take effect on January 1, 2025.

Item 493/2024
Final
City of Garden Grove

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: Ursula Luna-Reynosa
Dept: City Manager Dept: Economic Development and
Housing
Date: 11/26/2024
Subject: Consideration of a Restrictive Covenant Agreement between the City of Garden Grove and GWGG, LLC. (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to hold a public hearing for the consideration of a Restrictive Covenant Agreement ("Agreement") (Attachment B) between the City of Garden Grove ("City") and GWGG, LLC ("Owner").

BACKGROUND
In 2010 the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Garden Grove entered into the First Amended and Restated Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) with GMXD, LLC, a Colorado Corporation, an affiliate of the Owner (“Owner’s Affiliate”), to cause the Owner’s Affiliate to develop a 603 room waterpark hotel resort in Garden Grove at 12681 Harbor Boulevard (“Waterpark Hotel”). The Owner’s Affiliate entered into a franchise and management agreement with Great Wolf Resorts (“GWR”) dba Great Wolf Lodge Southern California (“GWL So Cal”) to brand and operate the Waterpark Hotel as a Great Wolf Lodge.

The GWL So Cal opened in 2016, and quickly became a significant revenue generator for the City, contributing over $52 million to the general fund through Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”) since its opening. To date, 2019, remains the hotel’s best-performing year, after which revenue began to decline. This downturn can be attributed to three key factors:

1. Market Diversion: The opening of the GWL in Manteca diverted business from the Bay Area trade area, historically the third-largest market for GWL So Cal, to the new Manteca location.

2. COVID-19 Pandemic: The COVID-19 pandemic forced the closure and significantly reduced capacity of GWL So Cal for approximately 18 months, resulting in significant revenue losses during that period and a need to utilize capital reserves and an infusion of significant Owner capital for operations.

Item 493/2024

3. Brand Standard Changes: Shortly after the opening of GWL So Cal, GWR implemented changes to its brand standards. These changes provided newer properties, including the Manteca location, with a competitive advantage as they had enhanced attractions and food and beverage amenities.

In response to these challenges, the Owner is proposing a major renovation to enhance the Waterpark Hotel to bring it up to current GWR brand standards and has requested the City participate in a public-private partnership to make such investment feasible. The renovation includes adding new food and beverage dining options, enhanced resort pool and entertainment activities including new “dry attractions”, updated rooms, and updated common facilities throughout the resort. The estimated cost to enhance the Waterpark Hotel is $40 million.

Summary of Improvement Requirements:

1. Scope & Quality: Renovations will adhere to a $40 million budget and adhere to current GWL brand standards (similar to the Great Wolf Lodge in Centralia, WA). Hotel operations will continue with phased closures of certain areas as necessary to complete the improvements.

2. Design & Budget Approval: The Owner will submit final design and capital budget for City review. The City has reasonable approval rights, and approved designs will be considered the "Final Design."

3. Construction Compliance: Construction costs must be no less than 5% of the approved budget and include all elements shown in the Final Design.

4. Post-Construction Standards: The hotel must maintain the quality of facilities throughout the Covenant Consideration period, accounting for normal wear and tear.

DISCUSSION
The City of Garden Grove is committed to fostering job creation and retention within the community. To support this goal, the City has the opportunity to utilize AB 562 (codified as Government Code Section 53083), a statewide economic development tool that enables local jurisdictions to promote economic growth and sustain jobs. Pursuant to Government Code Section 53083, the City Council must hold a noticed public hearing and, prior to the public hearing, provide certain information in written form and available to the public through the Estimated Hard Costs $ 19,233,000.00
Estimated Soft Costs $ 18,643,000.00
Contingency $ 2,124,000.00
Total Estimated Renovation Costs $ 40,000,000.00
Estimated Renovation Costs
Item 493/2024

City’s website regarding a proposed economic development subsidy. The requisite notice was published in a newspaper of general circulation and the requisite report (“Subsidy Report”) was posted on the City’s website for a public hearing to be held on November 26, 2024. The Subsidy Report is attached as Attachment C.

In order to induce GWGG, LLC and GWR, a minority owner, to invest $40 million to enhance the Waterpark Hotel, the proposed Agreement includes a provision to share 40% of TOT for a period of 10 years. Based on certain projected Average Daily Rates (“ADRs”), the 40% share is estimated to generate a subsidy of $27.7 million over the 10 year sharing term.

Critical to the analysis to justify sharing 40% of TOT is the expected outcome that if the Waterpark Hotel is not brought up to brand standards it is likely to lose the GWR brand and associated marketing and booking platforms resulting in an independent, limited service hotel with a separate waterpark. Projections and industry data indicate that an independent hotel will generate significantly less revenues than a GWR branded waterpark hotel. Keeping the GWR brand will result in higher ADR’s and occupancy effectively increasing revenue and corresponding TOT for the City. It is estimated that the impact of losing the GWR brand would be as much as a 45% - 50% drop in TOT. Preserving the GWR brand and corresponding revenue is in the best interest of the public to ensure the City maintains resources to provide public services and amenities.

In exchange for an amount equivalent to 40% share of TOT for 10 years, the City and Owner have negotiated a set of covenants designed to protect the TOT generated from the Waterpark Hotel for a period of 15 years. A summary of the covenants is contained in the Subsidy Report (Attachment C). Of particular note, to safeguard the Waterpark Hotel’s market share, the Agreement includes a 200-mile radius restriction to the benefit of the City, preventing the development of another GWL in nearby cities such as Bakersfield or San Diego until 2041.

If a GWL opened in a nearby city, TOT revenue to the City would be severely impacted.

City Benefits
The Grove District/Anaheim Resort serves as one of Garden Grove's primary economic development engines. The hotel developments within the Grove District collectively generate substantial revenue and provide significant employment opportunities, making them a cornerstone of the City’s economic vitality. Continued development and strategic expansion within the Grove District are essential to supporting long-term economic sustainability citywide.

This proposed economic development subsidy is vital for sustaining and expanding economic growth in the City. It is expected that the enhanced Waterpark Hotel will attract more tourists, preserve and eventually increase tax revenue, and retain and create new jobs. The proposed renovation of the GWL So Cal is a vital component in ensuring its continued success as a premier family destination and a major regional tourism asset. By aligning with the City’s broader economic development goals, this project supports a thriving hospitality sector while fostering job creation, enhanced public services, and community growth.

Item 493/2024

Key Benefits of the Project:
 Increased Tax Revenue: Renovations will help attract more visitors, boosting Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and sales tax revenue to support City services. The renovation is expected to generate $94 million in net TOT revenue over 15 years, significantly exceeding the $27 million subsidy.
 Job Creation and Retention: The project will sustain existing jobs and create new employment opportunities across construction, hospitality, and ancillary industries.  Enhanced Tourism Appeal: Upgraded amenities will solidify the GWL’s position as a leading family-oriented resort in the region, increasing its competitiveness and drawing visitors from a broader market.
 Support for Local Businesses: The increased foot traffic from resort guests will positively impact surrounding businesses in the Grove District and citywide.  Improved Infrastructure: Investments in the hotel’s facilities contribute to maintaining high standards in the district, reinforcing its reputation as a world-class destination.
 Strengthened Economic Resilience: By prioritizing renovations and long-term operational guarantees, the project aligns with Garden Grove’s strategic goal of fostering a diversified and stable economic base.

This investment extends beyond the revitalization of a single property, offering broader economic benefits by supporting job retention and catalyzing growth in surrounding retail, dining, and entertainment sectors. It ensures Garden Grove's competitive standing within the Southern California tourism market while strengthening its position as a vibrant hub for family-oriented attractions.

By adopting this forward-looking approach, the City of Garden Grove reaffirms its commitment to economic development, sustainable growth, and community prosperity. The proposed Agreement not only secures immediate gains but also lays the foundation for enduring success, further solidifying Garden Grove’s reputation as a visionary and economically resilient city.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed Agreement involves sharing an amount equivalent to 40% of TOT generated for 10 years with annual payments based on the preceding year’s performance. A 15-year analysis (reflecting 10 years of revenue sharing and a 15-year restrictive covenant ensuring a GWR waterpark hotel remains operational) indicates that the City will receive an estimated $94 million in net TOT, with the Owner receiving approximately $27 million. The City’s revenue share exceeds the Owner assistance by nearly $67 million, supporting the economic development subsidy. Furthermore, the net TOT received by the City under this Agreement is approximately $22 million more than it would be under an independent limited service hotel (see Attachment C for additional analysis).

Item 493/2024

The City will provide payments to GWGG, LLC for 10 years, starting upon construction completion (anticipated to be 3rd quarter of 2026). Therefore, the General Fund impact of the Agreement won’t occur until Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and for 10 years thereafter. The payment amount to the Owner included in this staff report and the Subsidy Report are based on certain revenue projections. Actual amounts will be based on revenue performance.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
 Open the public hearing and receive testimony on the consideration of a Restrictive Covenant Agreement between the City of Garden Grove and GWGG, LLC; and  Adopt the attached Resolution making certain findings, approving the Agreement between the City and Owner, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Agreement, including minor modifications as appropriate, and any other pertinent documents necessary to effectuate and/or implement the Agreement.

WHEREAS, In order to ensure the retention of the GWL So Cal, facilitate job retention and expansion, enhance competitiveness within the hospitality industry, and incentivize significant capital investments, the City and the Owner have agreed to enter into a Restrictive Covenant Agreement (the “Agreement”), whereby the Owner commits to investing forty million dollars ($40,000,000) to enhance the Waterpark Hotel through a major renovation and to maintain the Waterpark Hotel as the GWL So Cal until at least 2041 in exchange for an amount equivalent to forty percent (40%) share of TOT for ten (10) years (the “Covenant Consideration”); and WHEREAS, The Owner has represented to the City that the proposed investment and associated revenues and employment growth would not be feasible without the Covenants Consideration to be paid by the City pursuant to the Agreement, and that such payments would provide benefits to the Owner in an amount commensurate with their value at the time of each payment; and WHEREAS, The Owner and the City anticipate that the enhanced Waterpark Hotel will generate additional TOT revenues for the City, ensure the long-term viability of the Waterpark Hotel, retain and create significant employment opportunities, and provide other tangible and intangible benefits to the City; and WHEREAS, The City caused the preparation of an economic analysis of the Agreement in accordance with Government Code Section 53083. A copy of the report (the “Summary Report”) is attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and was made available to the public and posted on the City’s website prior to the November 26th Public Hearing; and

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDEN

GROVE, CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The City Council hereby makes the following findings:

A. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference.

B. The Owner’s significant capital investment to enhance the Waterpark Hotel, the management and operation of the enhanced Waterpark Hotel, the imposition of the operating covenants, and the City’s payment of the Covenant Consideration constitute valid public purposes under Article XVI, Section 6 of the California Constitution as necessary for the economic enhancement of the City and contributing to the City’s general fund for the health, safety, and welfare of its residents.

C. The proposed Agreement is in the best interest of the City and its residents and is consistent with the public purposes outlined in applicable state and local laws. The enhanced Waterpark Hotel will generate additional TOT revenues, retain and create significant employment opportunities, and ensure proper operations and management of the Waterpark Hotel, thereby providing other tangible and intangible benefits to the City.

D. The City’s payment of Covenant Consideration is intended to incentivize the Owner to invest significantly in the Waterpark Hotel, to continue to operate and manage the Waterpark Hotel as the GWL So Cal until at least 2041, and to preserve and eventually increase TOT revenues, and create local employment opportunities.

E. The Owner’s planned capital investment and planned enhancement of the Waterpark Hotel would not be feasible without the Covenants Consideration to be paid by the City under the Agreement.

F. The benefits provided by the Owner’s continued operation of the Waterpark Hotel as the GWL So Cal will result in substantially more benefits to the City than the costs of providing the Covenant Consideration.

G. The Covenants Consideration to be paid by the City pursuant to the Agreement foreseeably will result in benefits to the Owner in an amount commensurate with its value at the time of each payment, and the total aggregate amount of the Covenants Consideration payments to be made by the City pursuant to the Agreement is not anticipated to exceed the minimum additional amount the Owner is required to invest to enhance the Waterpark Hotel pursuant to the Agreement.

H. The amount of each payment required to be made by the City under the Agreement is a fair exchange for the consideration actually furnished pursuant to the Agreement by the Owner during each fiscal year of the City in which payment is made; each payment to be made by the City under the Agreement has been calculated so that it will not exceed the resources available to make such payment; and in no event shall the City be immediately indebted to Owner for the aggregate payments provided for pursuant to the Agreement.

I. The Agreement does not require any physical changes to the environment or trigger a need for additional government approvals that would necessitate a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review. Therefore, approval of the Agreement is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3).

SECTION 2. The Agreement between the City of Garden Grove and GWGG, LLC, attached hereto as Exhibit "A," is hereby approved.

SECTION 3. The City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the Agreement, including any minor modifications as appropriate, and any other related attachments or documents as necessary to effectuate and implement the Agreement.

SECTION 4. The City Manager (or his/her duly authorized representative) is further authorized to implement the Agreement and take all further actions and execute all documents referenced therein and/or necessary and appropriate to carry out the Agreement. The City Manager (or his/her duly authorized representative) is hereby authorized to the extent necessary during the implementation of the Agreement to make technical or minor changes thereto after execution, as necessary to properly implement and carry out the Agreement, provided the changes shall not in any manner materially affect the rights and obligations of the City.

SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

Adopted this 26th day of November, 2024.

300. DEVELOPMENT OF THE GEN 4 IMPROVEMENTS
301. Scope of Development. 301.1 Gen 4 Improvements. Owner shall Construct the Gen 4 Improvements in substantial conformance with the Scope of Development, within the time periods set forth in the Schedule of Performance. The Hotel shall Continuously Operate during Construction; provided, however that the parties hereto acknowledge that during Construction, Owner will have to close blocks of rooms and/or other Hotel space at varying times in order to proceed with the Construction of the Gen 4 Improvements and any such closures shall not be deemed a default with respect to or a failure to comply with this Agreement. The physical quality of the Gen 4 Improvements, including general construction quality, finish material, lighting (if and to the extent included in the Design and Specifications, Scope of Development and Final Design), landscaping and applicable site amenities shall be substantially comparable to that achieved at the Great Wolf Lodge located at 20500 Old Highway, Centralia, Washington 98531; provided, however that nothing in this Agreement shall require or otherwise obligate Owner to spend more than $40,000,000 on the Gen 4 Improvements unless otherwise agreed by Owner in its sole and absolute discretion. The Owner shall submit the Design and Specifications for the Gen 4 Improvements for review by the City. The Design and Specifications shall include a detailed budget for the construction, furnishing and equipping of the Gen 4 Improvements (the “Capital Cost Budget” for the Gen 4 Improvements), which Capital Cost Budget shall be at least equal to the Preliminary Capital Cost Budget for the Gen 4 Improvements, as adjusted pursuant to the third paragraph of this Section 301.1, if such adjustment is applicable.

The City shall review, in accordance with Section 302 below, the Capital Cost Budget submitted with such Design and Specifications to assure that it represents a reasonable estimate of the cost required to Construct the Gen 4 Improvements. The City shall also review the Design and Specifications to assure that the Design and Specifications are in conformity with the Scope of Development. The Design and Specifications shall be deemed to be in conformity with the Scope of Development, and the associated Capital Cost Budget shall be deemed to be a reasonable estimate of the cost required to construct, furnish, and equip the Gen 4 Improvements if a registered California architect delivers a certification to the City to such effect. If an architect certification is not delivered, the City shall have the right, but not the obligation, to reject, within ten (10) business days of receipt, the Design and Specifications (including the Capital Cost Budget) for the Gen 4 Improvements until Owner corrects such matters to the reasonable satisfaction of City. Provided that Owner is not otherwise in Default and subject to the right to terminate as a result of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the foregoing process shall be repeated as many times as necessary until the Design and Specifications and associated Capital Cost Budget are ascertained to have met the standards set forth 8 4885-7341-3861v15/022046-0064
US-DOCS\155312129.4
above, or the City, in its sole discretion, approves such Design and Specifications (including the Capital Cost Budget) irrespective of such requirement. Once the Design and Specifications (including the Capital Cost Budget) are approved in the foregoing manner, such Design and Specifications (including the Capital Cost Budget) shall be referred to as the “Final Design” for the Gen 4 Improvements; provided, however that the “Final Design” shall be deemed to incorporate and include any Change Orders submitted to and approved by the City pursuant to Section 302.3 below. Owner shall file such Design and Specifications (including the Capital Cost Budget) with respect to the Gen 4 Improvements on or before 30 days prior to the proposed date for Commencement of Construction.

The Gen 4 Improvements will be Constructed in Substantial Conformity with the Final Design.

If Gen 4 Improvements are not Constructed in Substantial Conformity with the Final Design, then the City shall not be obligated to pay Covenant Consideration. The Gen 4 Improvements shall be deemed to have been developed in conformity with the Final Design if the requirements of Section 501 have been satisfied. “Substantial Conformity” for purposes of this Section means that the final cost of Constructing the Gen 4 Improvements shall be no less than five percent (5%) less than the approved Capital Cost Budget and the materials shall be of like quality and appearance, and the Gen 4 Improvements shall be otherwise built in accordance with the Final Design.

Following the issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants for the Hotel and thereafter until the expiration or termination of the Covenant Consideration Period, the Hotel and repair and maintenance thereof shall remain comparable in terms of quality (subject to normal wear and tear) and level of amenities existing for the Hotel as of the date of issuance of the Release of Construction Covenants.
302. City Design Review.
302.1 City Review and Approval. The City shall have all rights to review and approve or disapprove all Design and Specifications and other required submittals in accordance with the City Municipal Code, and nothing set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as the City’s approval of any or all of the Design and Specifications. Following approval of the Final Design for the Gen 4 Improvements, City shall have no further review and approval rights over the Design and Specifications of the Gen 4 Improvements except to the extent the Owner does not adhere to such Final Design in construction of the Gen 4 Improvements. Owner shall obtain City’s approval over any material changes to the approved Design and Specifications. Any request for approval of a material change order shall be submitted to the City and the City shall, within ten (10) business days, provide a response to such request along with, should the approval be denied, the reason for such denial. Owner shall resubmit any denied request for change order addressing City’s comments, if commercially feasible, and City shall provide a response within ten (10) business days of such submittal. Consistent with Section 705, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the City’s and other governmental agencies’ authority over the issuance of building and construction permits, inspections, and other Governmental Requirements.
302.2 Defects in Plans. The City shall not be responsible either to the Owner or to third parties in any way for any defects in the Final Design, nor for any structural or other defects in any work done according to the Final Design, nor for any delays reasonably caused by the review and approval processes established by this Section 302.

The Owner shall have the obligation to defend any such Action; provided, however, that this obligation to defend shall not be effective if and to the extent that Owner determines in its reasonable discretion that such Action is meritorious or that the interests of the parties justify a compromise or a settlement of such Action, in which case Owner shall compromise or settle such Action in a way that fully protects City from any liability or obligation (except, with respect to Actions arising under clause (a) to the extent such matters are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the City, or its officers, employees, agents, representatives or volunteers, its own Default under this Agreement, or the invalidity of any covenants, representations or warranties of the City (except to the extent the invalidity of such covenant, representation, or warranty has been previously disclosed to and approved by Owner)) .

shall make a payment to the City equal to 50% of the Net Value from such transaction, but not to exceed Owner’s Available Proceeds from such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate payments made by Owner to City pursuant to this Section 505 shall not exceed the aggregate Covenant Consideration paid from the City to Owner.
600. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES; TERMINATION
601. Defaults. Failure or delay in the due, timely, and complete performance of each and every condition, restriction, Covenant, or obligation herein applicable to Owner or City, respectively, (each, a “Breach”) shall, after notice required by section 603 below and the failure of the nonperforming party to cure in accordance with section 602 hereof, constitute a default (“Default(s)”).

Further, failure of any Covenant shall constitute a Default by Owner hereunder after notice required by section 603 and failure to timely cure.
602. Right to Cure Following a Breach; Default. Subject to Section 702, unless a different cure period is expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the party whose acts or omissions to act give rise to a Breach as defined in Section 601 shall be entitled to cure, correct, or remedy such Breach, if (i) such defaulting party commences curing said Breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice of Breach, as defined in Section 603, and (ii) such defaulting party thereafter diligently and continuously pursues the curing of said Breach, and (iii) such defaulting party fully completes such cure, correction or remedy within sixty (60) days of receipt of said Notice of Breach, or, if such Breach cannot reasonably be cured within said 60-day period, within such additional time as is reasonably necessary to cure such Breach, but in no event more than one hundred and fifty (150) days after such party received said Notice of Breach; provided, that in the event the Breach is a failure to pay or discharge any monetary obligation hereunder when due (i.e., a monetary default), the defaulting party shall fully complete such cure, correction or remedy within ten (10) days of receipt of the Notice of Breach. If a Breach is not cured within the applicable period provided above, it shall thereafter constitute a Default.
603. Notice of Breach. The non-breaching party shall give written notice of breach (“Notice of Breach”) to the non-performing party, specifying the breach of this Agreement complained of by the non-breaching party. Failure or delay in giving such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any Breach of this Agreement.
604. Waiver of Breach or Default. A waiver by either Party of any covenant or condition to be performed by the other Party shall not be effective unless in writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any failure or delay by either Party in asserting any of its rights or remedies as to any Breach or Default shall not operate as a waiver of any Breach or Default or of any rights or remedies in connection therewith or of any other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or by law, or deprive such Party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies. 605. Legal Actions and Remedies; Judicial Reference. Either party may institute legal action to enforce the provisions hereof. All actions arising under this Agreement or relating to its interpretation shall be heard by a referee of the Orange County Superior Court pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638, et seq. With respect to all judicial reference proceedings under this Agreement, Owner and City shall agree upon a single referee who shall then try all issues, whether of fact or law, and report a finding and judgment thereon and issue all legal and equitable relief appropriate under the circumstances of the controversy. If Owner and City are unable to agree on a 16 4885-7341-3861v15/022046-0064
US-DOCS\155312129.4
referee within ten (10) days of a written request to do so by either party, either party may seek to have one appointed pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 640. The cost of such proceeding shall initially be borne equally by Owner and City, but shall ultimately be borne by the party who does not prevail. Any referee selected pursuant to this Section shall be considered a temporary judge appointed pursuant to Article 6, Section 21 of the California Constitution.

Attorneys’ Fees.

702. Enforced Delay; Extension of Times of Performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, performance by either party hereunder shall not be deemed a Default, and all performance and other dates specified in this Agreement shall be extended in the event of delays, the proximately causes of which are beyond the control of or not the fault of the party claiming an extension of time to perform (each, an “Enforced Delay”). An Enforced Delay may include, but is not limited to, the following: war or acts of terrorism; insurrection; strikes; lockouts; riots; floods; earthquakes; fires; casualties; acts of God; acts of the public enemy; epidemics; pandemics; quarantine restrictions; freight embargoes; lack of transportation; governmental restrictions or priority; unusually severe weather; acts or omissions of the other party; any litigation, administrative, or third-party adjudicative challenge to the validity, applicability, interpretation, or implementation of this Agreement, or acts or failures to act of any public or governmental agency or entity other than City (which acts or failures to act shall not excuse performance hereunder by City). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an extension of time for any such cause shall be for the period of the Enforced Delay and shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause, if notice by the party claiming such extension is sent to the other party within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the cause, or from the date of the notice thereof, if notice by the party claiming such extension is sent to the other party later than thirty (30) days after the commencement of the cause.

Times of performance under this Agreement may also be extended in writing by the mutual agreement of the Parties. The Parties agree to reasonably consider requests for such extensions in good faith. 703. Transfers of Interest.
703.1 Prohibition. The qualifications and identity of Owner are very important and of particular concern to City. It is because of those qualifications and identity that City has entered into this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 703.2 below, no voluntary or involuntary successor in interest of Owner shall acquire any rights or powers under this Agreement, nor shall Owner nor any successor in interest thereto (i) make any total or partial Transfer of all or any portion of the Hotel, or (ii) assign this Agreement without the prior written approval of City, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as expressly set forth herein. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of Owner's rights hereunder or its interest in the Hotel in violation of this Section 703 shall terminate this Agreement and all of City’s obligations hereunder, and City shall have no further recourse or remedy for such Transfer under this Agreement.
703.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, approval by City of an assignment by Owner of this Agreement or Transfer of Owner's interest in the Hotel or any portion thereof, shall not be required in connection with any of the following:
(a) Any Transfer to the City or any other appropriate governmental agency, or for the purpose of the granting of easements, permits or similar rights to facilitate construction, use and/or operation of the Hotel.
19 4885-7341-3861v15/022046-0064
US-DOCS\155312129.4
(b) Any Transfer for financing or refinancing purposes, including the grant of a deed of trust to secure the funds necessary for land acquisition, construction and permanent financing of the Hotel and/or Gen 4 Improvements, as applicable.
(c) Any collateral assignment of the Covenant Consideration or other obligations due and owing to the Owner for purposes of borrowing money to be used on the Gen 4 Improvements. (d) Any Transfer to an entity in which Owner (a) retains operational control over the management, development, and construction of the Gen 4 Improvements (subject to the right of nonmanagerial members, partners, or shareholders, as applicable, to exercise voting rights with respect to so-called "major decisions") and (b) has not less than five percent (5%) interest in profit and losses in the Hotel.
(e) Any Transfer to any lender, agent, or any of their nominees by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, or to a third party purchaser at a foreclosure sale or after foreclosure by such lender, agent, or any of their nominees.
(f) Any Transfer to a lessee or sublessee of a portion of the Hotel that is incidental to the primary purpose of the Hotel provided such lessee or sub lessee is consistent with the overall purposes of the Hotel.
703.3 City Consideration of Requested Transfer. City agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay approval of a request made pursuant to Section 703.1 above, provided Owner delivers written notice to City requesting such approval. Such notice shall be accompanied by sufficient evidence regarding the proposed assignee’s or purchaser’s development and/or operational qualifications and experience, its financial commitments and resources, and its ability to comply with the covenants set forth herein, in sufficient detail to enable City to evaluate the proposed Transferee pursuant to the criteria set forth in Section 703.1 above, and as reasonably determined by City. City shall evaluate each proposed Transferee on the basis of its development experience and/or qualifications and experience in the operation of facilities similar to the Hotel, its financial commitments and resources, and its ability to comply with the Covenants. City may not disapprove any proposed Transferee that demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the City that the transferee/assignee or its guarantor has a net worth sufficient to provide the prerequisite equity and access to debt offered by an institutional commercial real estate lender so as to permit the financing of the acquisition and operation of the Hotel and transferee/assignee and/or is contract manager or the individual within the contract management entity responsible for management of the Hotel has at least ten (10) years recent experience owning or operating first class hotel/retail/restaurant projects similar to the Hotel. An assignment and assumption agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to City’s legal counsel shall also be required for all such proposed Transfers. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Owner’s written notice requesting City approval of a Transfer pursuant to Section 703.1, City shall either approve or disapprove such proposed Transfer, or shall respond in writing by stating what further information, if any, City reasonably requires in order to determine the request complete and determine whether or not to grant the requested approval. Upon receipt of such a response, Owner shall promptly furnish to City such further information as may be reasonably requested. 703.4 Successors and Assigns. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon Owner and its permitted successors and assigns. Whenever the term “Owner” is used in this Agreement, such term shall include any other permitted successors and assigns as herein provided.
20 4885-7341-3861v15/022046-0064
US-DOCS\155312129.4
703.5 Assignment by City. City may Transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement with the approval of Owner, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, City may Transfer any of its interests hereunder to a governmental agency or authority of City at any time without the consent of Owner, subject to the assumption by such Transferee of City's obligations. 704. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to persons and/or transactions having contacts with the State of California.
705. Non-Liability of Officials and Employees of City. No official or employee of City shall be personally liable to Owner or any successor in interest (i) in the event of any Default or breach by City; (ii) for any amount which may become due hereunder to Owner or Owner's designated payee or successor in interest; or (iii) for any City obligations hereunder. 706. Relationship Between City and Owner. It is hereby acknowledged that the relationship between City and Owner is not that of a partnership or joint venture and that City and Owner shall not be deemed or construed for any purpose to be the agent of the other. Accordingly, except as expressly provided herein or in the exhibits hereto, City shall have no rights, powers, duties or obligations with respect to the development, operation, maintenance, or management of the Hotel; and Owner agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend City from any claim made against City arising from a claimed relationship of partnership or joint venture between City and Owner with respect thereto based upon actions by Owner.
707. City Approvals and Actions. This Agreement shall be administered by City Manager or City Manager's designated representative, following approval of this Agreement by City. The City Manager or City Manager's authorized representative shall have the authority to issue interpretations, waive provisions, enter into amendments of this Agreement on behalf of City, and approve Owner’s fulfillment of Owner requirements hereunder, so long as such actions do not substantially change the permitted Hotel uses hereunder, unless City Manager elects to refer such matter to the City Council for approval. City Manager may also approve extensions of time in accordance with Section 702 hereof.

All other interpretations, waivers, amendments, or extensions of time shall require the written consent of City Council. Whenever City’s approval is required under the terms of this Agreement, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, unless specified otherwise herein.
708. Integration. This Agreement, including Exhibits A through C, constitute the entire understanding between the Parties relating to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. All prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, representations, and statements, oral or written, are merged in this Agreement and shall be of no further force or effect. Each party is entering this Agreement based solely upon the representations set forth herein and upon each party’s own independent investigation of any and all facts such party deems material. 709. Titles and Captions. Titles and captions are for convenience of reference only and do not define, describe, or limit the scope or the intent of this Agreement or of any of its terms. Reference to section numbers are to sections in this Agreement, unless expressly stated otherwise. 710. Interpretation. As used in this Agreement, masculine, feminine or neuter gender and the singular or plural number shall each be deemed to include the others where and when the context 21 4885-7341-3861v15/022046-0064
US-DOCS\155312129.4
so dictates. The word “including” shall be construed as if followed by the words “without limitation.” This Agreement shall be interpreted as though prepared jointly by both parties. 711. Modifications. Any alteration, change, or modification of or to this Agreement, in order to become effective, shall be made in writing and in each instance signed on behalf of each party. 712. Severability. If any term, provision, condition, or covenant of this Agreement or its application to any party or circumstances shall be held, to any extent, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of the term, provision, condition or covenant to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected, and shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In the event a material term or provision of this Agreement is rendered invalid, void and/or unenforceable, or due to changes in the law such term or provision would materially alter the terms of the transactions contemplated herein, the Parties agree to meet and negotiate in good faith to attempt to reform this Agreement to accomplish the intent of the Parties.
713. Computation of Time. The time in which any act is to be done under this Agreement is computed by excluding the first day and including the last day, unless the last day is a holiday or Saturday or Sunday, and then that day is also excluded. The term “holiday” shall mean all holidays as specified in Section 6700 and 6701 of the California Government Code. If any act is to be done by a particular time during a day, that time shall be Pacific Time Zone time. 714. Legal Advice. Each party represents and warrants to the other that the party has carefully read this Agreement, and in signing this Agreement, they do so with full knowledge of any right which they may have; they have received independent legal advice from their respective legal counsel as to the matters set forth in this Agreement, or have knowingly chosen not to consult legal counsel as to the matters set forth in this Agreement; and, they have freely signed this Agreement without any reliance upon any agreement, promise, statement or representation by or on behalf of the other party, or their respective agents, employees or attorneys, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, and without duress or coercion, whether economic or otherwise. 715. Time of Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence with respect to the performance by City and Owner of each and every obligation and condition of this Agreement. 716. Cooperation. Each party agrees to cooperate with the other in this transaction and, in that regard, to sign any and all documents which may be reasonably necessary, helpful, or appropriate to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement including, but not limited to, releases or additional agreements. Owner and City shall mutually consider reasonable requests for amendments to this Agreement made by any party hereto, provided such requests are consistent with this Agreement and would not substantially alter the basic business terms included herein. 717. Conflicts of Interest. No official or employee of City shall have any personal interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement, nor shall any such official or employee participate in any decision relating to the Agreement which affects the personal interests of such official or employee, or the interests of any corporation, partnership, or association in which such official or employee is directly or indirectly interested.

FOR A RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AGREEMENT CONTAINING TAX SHARING PROVISIONS

BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE AND GWGG, LLC
Pursuant to Government Code Section 53083, the City Council of the City of Garden Grove (“City”) must hold a noticed public hearing and, prior to the public hearing, provide certain information in written form and available to the public through the City’s website regarding a proposed economic development subsidy to the benefit of the City and GWGG, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company “Owner”. In 2010 the former Redevelopment Agency of the City of Garden Grove entered into the First Amended and Restated Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”) with GMXD, LLC, a Colorado Corporation, an affiliate of the Owner (“Owner’s Affiliate”), to cause the Owner’s Affiliate to develop a 603 room waterpark hotel resort in Garden Grove at 12681 Harbor Boulevard (“Waterpark Hotel”). The Owner’s Affiliate entered into a franchise and management agreement with Great Wolf Resorts (“GWR”) dba Great Wolf Lodge So Cal (“GWL So Cal”) to brand and operate the Waterpark Hotel as a Great Wolf Lodge.

In 2016, the Waterpark Hotel opened as a GWL and generated significant revenue for the City, mainly through Transient Occupancy Tax (“TOT”). To date, 2019 was the Waterpark Hotel’s best performing year, after which revenues started to decline. The decline in revenue can primarily be attributed to three factors; 1) GWR opened a lodge in Manteca, CA which diverted the Bay Area trade area, the third largest market area for the GWL So Cal, to the Manteca lodge, 2) the COVID19 pandemic which resulted in the GWL So Cal being shut down or with significantly reduced capacity for approximately 18 months, and 3) GWR significantly changed their brand standard shortly after the opening of GWL So Cal causing a competitive advantage to the newer properties in the GWR portfolio, including the Manteca property. To mitigate these challenges, a proposed Restrictive Covenant Agreement “Agreement” is being considered by the Garden Grove City Council to provide, among other things (as further described in Number 3 below), a major renovation to bring the Waterpark Hotel up to current GWR brand standards and a 200 mile restrictive radius covenant recorded against the property, to the benefit of the City, to protect the GWL So Cal market share until 2041 (approximately 15 years) from another GWR being built in the trade area. The renovation includes adding new food and beverage dining options, enhanced resort pool and entertainment activities including new “dry attractions”, updated rooms, and updated common facilities throughout the resort. In order to induce GWGG, LLC and GWR, a 2 Prepared by:

minority owner, to invest $40 million to enhance the Waterpark Hotel, the proposed Agreement includes a provision to share 40% of TOT for a period of 10 years.

Notice was published on the City’s website for a public hearing to be held on November 26, 2024.

The purpose of this report is to provide the information required pursuant to Government Code Section 53083 in regards to the Agreement. This report shall remain available to the public and posted on the City’s website until the end date of the economic development subsidy, as further described in Number 2 below.

1. The name and address of all corporations, or any other business entities, except for sole proprietorships, that are the beneficiary of the economic development subsidy, if applicable.

The Agreement is with GWGG, LLC, 1800 Wazee Street, Suite 200, Denver, CO 80202 While GGMXD, LLC, a Colorado Corporation, 2725 Rocky Mountain Avenue, Suite 200, Loveland, Colorado 80538 is not a party to the Agreement, they are an affiliate of GWGG, LLC and an indirect beneficiary of the economic development subsidy as they are a majority owner of the Waterpark Hotel.

While Great Wolf Resorts, Inc. 350 N. Orleans Street, Suite 10000B, Chicago, IL 60654 is not a party to the Agreement, they are an indirect beneficiary of the economic development subsidy as they are a minority owner and manager of the Waterpark Hotel.

2. The start and end dates and schedule, if applicable, for the economic development subsidy.

Estimated Hard Costs $ 19,233,000.00
Estimated Soft Costs $ 18,643,000.00
Contingency $ 2,124,000.00
Total Estimated Renovation Costs $ 40,000,000.00

The economic development subsidy, TOT tax sharing, will commence at the completion of the renovation which is anticipated to be around July 1, 2026 and will continue for 10 years after commencement.

3. A description of the economic development subsidy, including the estimated total amount of expenditure of public funds, or of revenue lost to, the local agency, as a result of the economic development subsidy.

The Agreement involves sharing an amount equivalent to 40% of TOT generated for 10 years.

Based on certain projected Average Daily Rates (“ADRs”), the 40% share is estimated to generate a subsidy of $27.7 million over the 10 year sharing term.

Critical to the analysis to justify sharing 40% of TOT is the likely outcome that if the Waterpark Hotel is not brought up to brand standards it is likely to lose the GWR brand and associated marketing and booking platforms resulting in an independent, limited service hotel with a separate waterpark. Projections and industry data indicate that an independent hotel will generate significantly less revenues than a GWR branded waterpark hotel.

A waterpark hotel is a resort with waterparks constructed as their primary amenity, with the defining feature that access to the waterpark is limited to those staying at the resort.

Waterpark resorts work using the principle of bundling. Bundling is a pricing decision by which a group of products are grouped together. A consumer pays one price for a group of products or services that is lower than the total price of each product or service, taken separately or a la carte.
1 This model results in much higher ADR’s and occupancy effectively increasing revenue and corresponding TOT for the City. Preserving the GWR brand and corresponding revenue is in

the best interest of the public to ensure the City maintains resources to provide public services and amenities.

4. A statement of the public purposes for the economic development subsidy.

Investment in the Waterpark Hotel is essential to solidifying its role as a Garden Grove icon and ensuring it remains a top-tier, competitive attraction. Originally developed as a flagship property, GWL So Cal was designed to enhance Garden Grove’s appeal as a family-friendly destination, drawing visitors not only for lodging but for a fully immersive resort experience. GWL is a major revenue generator through TOT, local spending, and business patronage. GWL has been the City’s highest TOT generator compared to the other City hotels by a large margin.

The City’s primary goal for negotiating the Agreement is to protect the portion of TOT revenue generated at the Waterpark Hotel. Without the subsidy, the GWL So Cal is likely to transition to an independent hotel, which will severely impact TOT generation. It is estimated that the impact of losing the GWR brand and bundling model would be as much as a 45% – 50% drop in TOT.

The renovation brings modern amenities and additional attractions and amenities to enhance the guest experience, enabling guests a true full-service resort experience. This investment, to bring the GWL So Cal to current brand standards, would help Garden Grove keep pace with evolving guest demands, securing repeat visits and strengthening the city’s reputation as a standout family destination in Southern California.

With its upgraded facilities and attractions, GWL would continue to draw large numbers of visitors from its primary markets of Orange County, San Diego, and Los Angeles, benefitting local businesses in the Grove District. An enhanced product and experience will attract a broader range of guests, who are more likely to explore nearby restaurants, retail, and entertainment venues, which contributes to Garden Grove’s wider economic ecosystem.

In exchange for the 40% share of TOT for 10 years, the City and GWL have negotiated a set of covenants designed to protect the TOT generated from the Waterpark Hotel for a period of 15 years. The covenants are described below.

GWGG, LLC is providing the following Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCR’s):
5 Prepared by:

TIERRA WEST ADVISORS, INC.
 Maintain a Great Wolf Lodge Water Park themed hotel under the registered trade mark of the Great Wolf Lodge and hotel Flag until February 2041;  Continuously operate, maintain and operate the water park under all the prescribed requirements of the Franchisor, Great Wolk Lodge Water Park, and Franchisee GWGG, LLC;
 Provide a 200 mile restrictive radius that prohibits a GWR waterpark hotel from operating within 200 miles of the GWL So Cal to preserve market share until February 2041;
 Utilize Prevailing wages as required under Labor Code Section 1720 with local hire preference;
 A Garden Grove resident discount will be provided at least once per year.

In exchange for the subsidy, one of the covenants (identified above) will protect the City from GWL opening another resort in a closer City, such as Bakersfield or San Diego. If a resort opened in a nearby City, TOT revenue to the City would be severely impacted. The Agreement provides for a 200 mile radius restriction, which will eliminate the opportunity for GWR to expand south towards San Diego, East to the California Border and north of Bakersfield.

The proposed economic development subsidy is necessary to maintain, expand and effectuate further economic development, increased tax generation, and job retention in the City of Garden Grove. The renovation is expected to generate increased tourism and tax revenue due to refreshed rooms, enhanced common areas, and upgrades and additions to the entertainment for families. The City recognizes that renovation of the GWL So Cal will enable the Waterpark Hotel to continue contribution to the economic vitality of the City, continue to provide additional jobs in the City, continue to expand the City’s tax base, and otherwise improve economic and physical conditions in the City.

5. Projected tax revenue to the local agency as a result of the economic development subsidy.

A comparison of the City and Owner revenue sharing over a 15 year period (revenue share is only 10 years but restrictive covenant guaranteeing a GWR waterpark hotel is 15 years whereby City receives 100% of TOT after 10 years) shows the City will receive an estimated $94 million in 6 Prepared by:

TIERRA WEST ADVISORS, INC.
net TOT, with Owner receiving approximately $27 million2. The City’s revenue share exceeds the Developer assistance by nearly $67 million, supportive of the economic development subsidy.

The net TOT received by the City under this Agreement is approximately $22 million more than it would be under an independent “deflagged” hotel.

6. Estimated number of jobs created by the economic development subsidy, broken down by full-time, part-time and temporary positions.

The Project will create temporary jobs during the renovation and full-time and part-time jobs during operation. It is estimated that 100 temporary jobs will be created during the renovation period. It is estimated that upon completion of the renovation, 20 – 50 new full time equivalent jobs will be created. At least 50 full time equivalent jobs will be retained that would otherwise be lost if the property were to convert to an independent hotel. Including new temporary and permanent jobs, the project will lead to an estimated total job impact of 170 - 200 jobs.

City of Garden Grove

INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To: Lisa L. Kim From: William E. Murray
Dept: City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 11/26/2024
Subject: Approval of the Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey 2024, and introduction and first reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 36 of Title 10 of the Muncipal Code, entitled:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDEN GROVE AMENDING SECTION 10.36.030 OF CHAPTER 10.36 OF TITLE 10 OF THE

GARDEN GROVE MUNICIPAL CODE ESTABLISHING SPEED LIMITS FOR

CERTAIN DESIGNATED CITY STREETS BASED UPON AN UPDATED TRAFFIC AND ENGINEERING SPEED SURVEY. (Action Item)

OBJECTIVE
To approve the Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey 2024 Update to revise speed limits along 12 street segments.

BACKGROUND
Assembly Bill 43 (AB 43) took effect on January 1, 2022 and made a number of additions and modifications to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) that authorizes local jurisdictions to set safer speed limits on certain streets. In accordance with AB 43, several sections of the CVC were amended related to traffic safety and speed limits.

Previously, speed limits were primarily established based on the 85th percentile speed rounded to the nearest 5 mile per hour (mph) increment. The speed can then be reduced 5 mph based on certain conditions. Beginning June 30, 2024, AB 43 changed the CVC to authorize local authorities to further reduce the speed limit beyond the 5-mph reduction.

Staff reviewed the Engineering and Traffic Survey approved by City Council on December 14, 2021 and identified 13 street segments that were appropriate candidates to be re-surveyed.

These street segments were either segments that changed speeds from the 2021 survey or have had a vehicle lane reduction.

The City contracted with AGA Engineers to perform an Engineering and Traffic Survey to update the speed limits along the selected street segments.

Item 483/2024

DISCUSSION
The selected segments were analysed individually using speed surveys, traffic volumes, accident data, posted speed limits, and roadway conditions. The Engineering and Traffic Survey was conducted in compliance with State requirements. In accordance with AB 43, the speed limit is determined by using the 85th percentile speed rounded to the nearest 5 mph increment. If there are sufficient conditions not readily apparent to the driver, the posted speed limit can be reduced by 5 mph. If additional conditions are present, such as pedestrian and/or bicycle facilities, the speed limit can be reduced an additional 5 mph.

All school zones with 25 mph posted speed limits when children are present will remain enforceable.

The attached ordinance lists the roadway segments surveyed with their updated speed limits.

Most segments show a 5 mph decrease from their current speed limit. A summary of the results are:

1. Dale Street between Orangewood Avenue and Katella Street - 40 mph to 35 mph

2. Gilbert Street between Orangewood Avenue to Katella Street – 40 mph to 35 mph

3. Gilbert Street between Chapman Avenue to Orangewood Avenue – 35 mph (no change)

4. Harbor Boulevard between Chapman Avenue to Wilken Way (northerly City Limits) – 40 mph to 35 mph

5. Magnolia Street between Trask Avenue to Garden Grove Boulevard – 40 mph to 35 mph

6. Ninth Street between Chapman Avenue to Orangewood Avenue – 40 mph to 35 mph

7. Springdale Street between Garden Grove Boulevard to Lampson Avenue – 40 mph to 35 mph

8. Springdale Street between Lampson Avenue to Chapman Avenue – 40 mph to 35 mph

9. West Street between Garden Grove Boulevard to Lampson Avenue – 40 mph to 35 mph

10. West Street between Lampson Avenue to Chapman Avenue – 40 mph to 35 mph

11. West Street between Chapman Avenue to Orangewood Avenue – 40 mph to 35 mph

12. Orangewood Avenue between Magnolia Street to Gilbert Street – 40 mph to 35 mph

13. Trask Avenue between Beach Boulevard to Newland Street – 40 mph to 35 mph

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to approve the Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey 2024.

Cost of the survey was paid from the department’s approved operating budget.

Item 483/2024

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that City Council:
 Approve the Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey 2024 Update; and  Introduce and conduct the first reading of the Ordinance adjusting speed limits on 12 roadway segments.

Mr. Dai Vu
City Traffic Engineer
City of Garden Grove
11222 Acacia Pkwy.

Garden Grove, CA 92840
RE: City of Garden Grove Engineering and Traffic Survey (2024 Update) Dear Mr. Vu:

AGA Engineers, Inc. (AGA) is pleased to present this letter report to update selected segments from the current City of Garden Grove Engineering and Traffic Survey (E&TS) due to recent changes in legislation.

AGA previously completed a Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey which was completed and certified in December 2021 and adopted by the Garden Grove City Council on December 14, 2021 (Ordinance No. 2928). A copy of the report is included in Appendix A.

The latest edition of the CVC and the CA MUTCD has highlighted bicycle and pedestrian safety as part of the study, and this aspect was considered as a part of this report. Additionally, effective June 30, 2024, several of the CVC sections mentioned above were amended and additional sections were added related to traffic safety and speed limits. These changes to the CVC were made in accordance with Assembly Bill No. 43 (AB 43) which was approved by the State of California on October 8, 2021. The following are some key highlights of AB 43:
- Allows a prima facie speed limit of 25 mph on State highways located in any business or residential district.
- Authorizes Caltrans and a local authority to declare a speed of 20 or 15 mph on State highways. - Authorizes a lower speed limit on a section of highway contiguous to a business activity district.

Definition of “business activity district” is identified in AB 43 text. - Authorizes a local authority to further reduce the speed limit beyond the 5-mph reduction after June 30, 2024, if certain conditions are met.
- Extends the validity of speed surveys from 10 years to 14 years if evaluated by a registered engineer.
- Local authorities may, by ordinance, retain the current speed limit or restore the immediately prior speed limit if that speed limit was established with an engineering and traffic survey and if Engineering and Traffic Survey (2024 Update) Page 2 of 11 a registered engineer has evaluated the section of highway and determined that no additional general-purpose lanes have been added to the roadway since completion of the traffic survey that established the prior speed limit.

Due to these changes in legislation, the City of Garden Grove has requested a review and reevaluation of thirteen (13) roadway segments previously studied as part of the 2021 City of Garden Grove Engineering & Traffic Survey.

REVIEW OF ROADWAY SEGMENTS
AGA has completed a thorough review of the following 13 roadway segments surveyed as part of the 2021 Engineering and Traffic Survey to reassess roadway characteristics based on the changes made to the CVC in accordance with AB 43.

1. Dale St between Orangewood Ave and Katella Ave

2. Gilbert St between Orangewood Ave and Katella Ave

3. Harbor Blvd between Chapman Ave and Wilken Way (North City Limits)

4. Magnolia St between Trask Ave and Garden Grove Blvd

5. Ninth St between Chapman Ave and Orangewood Ave

6. Springdale St between Garden Grove Bl and Lampson Ave

7. Springdale St between Lampson Ave and Chapman Ave

8. West St between Garden Grove Blvd and Lampson Ave

9. West St between Lampson Ave and Chapman Ave

10. West St between Chapman Ave and Orangewood Ave

11. Orangewood Ave between Magnolia St and Gilbert St

12. Trask Ave between Beach Blvd and Newland St

13. Gilbert St between Chapman Ave and Orangewood Ave
The adjoining property or land use, roadway width, and lane configurations were reviewed in conformance with CVC 40802, and special attention was given to the presence of pedestrian and/or bicycle facilities along the segments.

UPDATED SPEED ZONE SURVEYS
Spot speed surveys were taken at the 13 roadway segments throughout the City of Garden Grove in conformance with the State law for conducting engineering and traffic surveys for the purpose of establishing prima facie speed limits. The data was collected per the 2014 California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD), Revision 8. Sections of the CA MUTCD detailing regulations for conducting the required “Engineering and Traffic Survey” are presented in Appendix B.

The actual speed zone surveys were conducted by Counts Unlimited, Inc. A California registered traffic engineer from AGA reviewed the streets, the survey data, and the crash statistics to arrive at the recommended speed limits for each segment.

Study Methodology
The study involved three categories of data collection and analysis: (1) geometric and characteristic street surveillance; (2) collision rate analysis; and (3) spot speed survey.

Engineering and Traffic Survey (2024 Update) Page 3 of 11 The street surveillance process used field observations to determine the existing roadway characteristics, condition and placement of signs and pavement markings, land uses, pedestrian and bicycle activity, and other roadway characteristics that may not be readily apparent to motorists.

Historical collision data was obtained from the City of Garden Grove Crossroads Database and Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) for the period from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023 (i.e., two years) for the roadway segments. The collision rate was calculated and considered in recommending the speed limit by using the average daily traffic (ADT) volumes collected as part of the project.

Spot speed surveys, utilizing a calibrated radar gun, were conducted at thirteen (13) segment locations to determine existing vehicular travel speeds. A copy of the “Traffic Radar Certification” is provided in Appendix C. Typically, a minimum of 100 observations were recorded, 50 for each direction of travel, on all the streets included in the study. This data was used to calculate statistical information such as the 85th percentile travel speed, 10 mile per hour (mph) pace speed, percentage of vehicles within the 10- mph pace, median speed, and other pertinent data for analysis.

Survey Results
Street Surveillance
Section 2B.13 “Speed Limit Signs” of the CA MUTCD (see Appendix C) states that the speed limit should be established at the nearest five mile per hour increment (rounded per standard mathematical practice) to the 85th percentile speed recorded during the spot speed survey. However, in matching existing conditions with the traffic safety needs of the community, engineering judgment may indicate the need for a further change in speed. Whenever such factors are considered to establish the speed limit, they should be documented in the speed survey or in the accompanying engineering report.

The survey streets were reviewed by Mr. Ruben Perales, P.E., T.E, Vice President at AGA Engineers, Inc., who is a registered Traffic Engineer in the State of California. The roadway characteristics, location of speed limit signs, conditions not readily apparent to the driver, land use types adjoining the street (commercial, residential, school zone, parks, etc.), and type of roadway (divided, undivided, number of lanes, etc.) were recorded as part of the study. The roadway characteristics were used to determine if any physical conditions warranted consideration of a five mile per hour reduction of the recommended speed in accordance with CVC Section 627 and if roadway segments have changed since the preparation of the previous E&TS dated December 2021. The speed survey segment roadway characteristics for each segment are indicated on the Engineering and Traffic Survey Summary sheets in Appendix D. The field survey data sheets are provided in Appendix F.

Accident Rate Analysis
The collision rate for each speed survey segment was determined using the most recent available collision records as required by CVC Section 627. The mid-block collision totals are based on a review of the collision reports from Crossroads and SWITRS from (January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023). Subsequently, these totals were used to calculate the mid-block collision rate, which also uses ADT volume data provided in Appendix E. The mid-block collision rate for each street surveyed was calculated in terms of “collisions per million vehicle miles traveled” (C/MVM) and is shown on the Engineering and Traffic Survey Summary Reports. The following shows a sample calculation.

Engineering and Traffic Survey (2024 Update) Page 4 of 11 The rate was calculated using the following equation:

Collision Rate = Number of Midblock Collisions × 106
24-hour volume × 365 × segment length × number of years The number of mid-block collisions is based on two years’ collision data (January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2023), recent 24-hour traffic volume (for both directions) within the survey segment, and the segment’s length given in miles.

Example:

Segment: Dale Street between Orangewood Avenue and Katella Avenue:

Collision Rate = 4 × 106
13,010 × 365 × 0.50 × 2
= 0.84 C/MVM
The Average Expected Collision Rate for this segment is 0.64 and is based on the “2021 Collision Data on California State Highways. Therefore, the calculated collision rate of 0.84 is slightly above the expected rate for this segment.

The results of the collision rate calculations, including the Average Expected Collision Rates for each type of roadways, are shown in Table 1 below and detailed in Appendix E. The following Average Expected Collision Rates were obtained from “2021 Collision Data on California State Highways” for Orange County published by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans):
♦ Conventional 2 lanes or less (<45 mph): 1.07 C/MVM
♦ Conventional 2 lanes or less (> 45 mph): 0.61 C/MVM
♦ Conventional 3 lanes 1.61 C/MVM
♦ Undivided 4 lanes (<45 mph): 0.66 C/MVM
♦ Undivided 4 lanes (> 45 mph): 0.77 C/MVM
♦ Divided 4 lanes (<45 mph): 0.64 C/MVM
♦ Divided 4 lanes (> 45 mph): 0.93 C/MVM
♦ Undivided 5 lanes or more (<45 mph): 1.00 C/MVM
♦ Undivided 5 lanes or more (> 45 mph): 0.31 C/MVM
♦ Divided 5 lanes or more (<45 mph): 0.75 C/MVM
♦ Divided 5 lanes or more (> 45 mph): 0.87 C/MVM
Engineering and Traffic Survey (2024 Update) Page 5 of 11 Spot Speed Survey
Spot speed surveys were conducted at each roadway segment to assess the actual behavior of the majority of motorists. A reasonable and effective speed limit is based on the premise that a speed limit, thus established, conforms to the actual behavior of the majority of motorists. The speed limit should typically be established at the five mph increment nearest the 85th percentile speed recorded for the surveyed segment. However, engineering judgment and other factors such as street surveillance (Section

3.1) and collision rates (Section 3.2) may indicate the need for further reduction in establishing reasonable and effective speed limits.

The criteria used in conducting the radar survey are listed in Appendix B. The information collected and data calculated for the radar speed survey are as follows:
♦ Date and time of speed survey ♦ Collision history and rate ♦ Direction of survey ♦ Posted speed limit
♦ Number of vehicles observed ♦ Average speed
♦ Pedestrian and bicycle activity ♦ Range of speeds
♦ Road description ♦ 50th and 85th Percentile speed
♦ Average Daily Traffic ♦ 10 mph and percent over pace speed Appendix D contains information about vehicular speed data observed, collision data, street classification, and any unusual conditions at the location.

Engineering and Traffic Survey (2024 Update) Page 6 of 11 Survey Findings And Recommendations
In accordance with the State-imposed speed limit establishment regulation as defined by CVC Section 627 and the recently adopted Assembly Bill No. 43, there are several factors that may be considered to justify setting the prima facie speed limits five miles per hour below the observed 85th percentile speed.

It should be noted that the regulations found in Appendix B also state that “the establishment of a speed limit of five mph below the 85th percentile speed should be done with great care”.

The factors to be considered are:
- Most recent accident record (mid-block) - Profile condition - Roadway design speed - Intersection spacing offsets
- Safe stopping sight distance - Commercial driveway characteristics (land use) - Super-elevation - Pedestrian traffic with and without sidewalks - Grades - Pedestrian and bicycle safety
- Shoulder condition
The above factors for each roadway segment surveyed are listed in the Engineering and Traffic Survey Summary sheets in Appendix D. The 85th percentile speed and the above factors were considered in verifying existing speed limits and recommending speed limit changes (increase or decrease). The 2024 Accident Survey Analysis (Table 1) lists the total number of accidents, calculated accident rate, and the expected accident rate. Table 2 on the next page shows the surveyed road segments with posted and recommended speed limits.

Engineering and Traffic Survey (2024 Update) Page 7 of 11 Engineering and Traffic Survey (2024 Update) Page 8 of 11 Speed Limit Signing
All California motorists are required to know the basic 15, 25, and 65 mph statutory or prima facie speed laws and are tested on the subject when applying for a driver’s license. The maximum speed limit on most California highways is 65 mph. However, drivers are permitted to travel 70 mph where posted as such.

Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit in California is 55 mph on two-lane undivided highways and for vehicles towing trailers – provided the street is not within a business or residential district. Consequently, speed limit signs covering these prima facie conditions need not be posted on city streets. Although not required by law, speed limit signs for these limits can be posted by a jurisdiction when an engineer determines doing so would enhance public awareness and compliance of the basic speed law.

Typically, such postings occur upon streets that have the following:
- Significant daily vehicular traffic volumes - Cut-through traffic problems - Significant grades - Continued violation of 25 mph speed zones - Safe stopping sight distance - Commercial driveway characteristics (land use) - Other unusual characteristics
It is standard engineering practice to recommend the posting of speed limit signs only on streets that have specific speed limits enacted by city ordinance or determined to be justified by an engineer who has performed an E&TS.

When an E&TS shows that the statutory or prima facie speed limits are not applicable for the existing conditions, the speed limits can be altered with the posting of a different speed limit, which must be determined according to the findings of the study. CVC Section 22354 covers decreasing highway speeds from 65 mph, and CVC Section 22358 addresses decreasing local speed limits. The CVC does not address decreasing the speed limit below 55 mph on undivided highways; however, the CA MUTCD states that speed zones (other than statutory speed limits) shall only be established based on an E&TS that has been performed in accordance with traffic engineering practices. Even though it is not codified in the CVC, Caltrans has established the practice of using an E&TS for any reduction below a statutory 55 mph speed limit. Law enforcement agencies and courts are accustomed to seeing surveys for these areas and it may be difficult to defend a speed violation citation without one.

Speed limit signs should be installed at approximately every one-half mile on streets which have been speed zoned. Signs are typically installed at the beginning of the speed zone on the departure side of a traffic signal-controlled intersection. It is also advisable to install signs at key intersections where there is high side street vehicle entry. It is important that motorists be given adequate notice of the speed limit without over signing, since doing so increases maintenance costs and rarely results in increased compliance.

The CA MUTCD outlines speed limit sign size specifications based on the type of roadway facility. Sign sizes vary from a minimum of 24-inches by 30-inches on a single lane conventional roadway to 48-inches by 60-inches on a freeway. It is also important to post signs in a manner that they are clearly visible to approaching traffic from a distance. Care should be taken to maintain landscaping and other vegetation, so it does not grow to block the motorist’s view of the signs. In certain circumstances, when an engineer has determined that additional motorist awareness of the speed limit is needed, the speed limit can also be painted on the roadway surface immediately adjacent to a speed limit sign.

Engineering and Traffic Survey (2024 Update) Page 9 of 11 Enforcement problems can occur when, (a) the highway is posted with inappropriate speed limit signs, (b) the highway is improperly or inadequately posted, or (c) the highway is not posted nor covered by ordinance and therefore falls under the basic speed law. In any of these events, the result is a debatable validity that may be questioned in court cases where citations are issued and contested.

Summary and Conclusions
An engineering speed study was conducted per CVC Section 627 and included documentation of existing roadway conditions, radar spot speed surveys, and midblock collision analysis. A total of thirteen (13) roadway segments at various locations throughout the City of Garden Grove were surveyed and reevaluated. A California registered Traffic Engineer from AGA reviewed the streets, the survey data, and the crash statistics to arrive at the recommended speed limits for each segment. Based on the radar speed survey, collision history, and field conditions, it is recommended that all but one (Gilbert Street from Chapman Avenue to Orangewood Avenue) of the existing speed limits on the various project segments studied be decreased as listed below. Appendix G includes an updated 2024 Posted Speed Map.

Speed Limit Decreases
♦ Dale Street between Orangewood Avenue and Katella Avenue, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.7, based on the 85th percentile speed of 44 mph, a high concentration of pedestrians due to the adjacent high school, the multiple driveways, the presence of on-street parking, and for continuity of speed. ♦ Gilbert Street between Orangewood Avenue and Katella Avenue, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.7, based on the 85th percentile speed of 45 mph, presence of bikes due to the existing bike lane, a high concentration of pedestrians due to the adjacent elementary school, the multiple driveways, being in a residential area, the presence of on-street parking, and for continuity of speed.
♦ Harbor Boulevard between Chapman Avenue and Wilken Way, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.6(c), based on the 85th percentile speed of 39 mph, and the multiple driveways.
♦ Magnolia Street between Trask Avenue and Garden Grove Boulevard, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.6(b), based on the 85th percentile speed of 42 mph, the multiple driveways, being in a residential area, the high accident rate, the horizontal curvature of the roadway segment, and the presence of on-street parking. ♦ Ninth Street between Chapman Avenue and Orangewood Avenue, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.7, based on the 85th percentile speed of 43 mph, presence of bikes due to the existing bike lane, the multiple driveways, being in a residential area, the presence of on-street parking, and for continuity of speed. ♦ Springdale Street between Garden Grove Boulevard and Lampson Avenue, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.7, based on the 85th percentile Engineering and Traffic Survey (2024 Update) Page 10 of 11 speed of 44 mph, a high concentration of pedestrians due to the adjacent elementary schools, being in a residential area, and for continuity of speed.
♦ Springdale Street between Lampson Avenue and Chapman Avenue, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.7, based on the 85th percentile speed of 45 mph, a high concentration of pedestrians due to the adjacent intermediate and elementary schools, the presence of on-street parking, and being in a residential area. ♦ West Street between Garden Grove Boulevard and Lampson Avenue, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.6(c), based on the 85th percentile speed of 39 mph, the presence of bike lanes, being in a residential area, the multiple driveways, and the presence of on-street parking.
♦ West Street between Lampson Avenue and Chapman Avenue, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.7, based on the 85th percentile speed of 43 mph, a high concentration of pedestrians due to the adjacent elementary school and park, the presence of bike lanes, being in a residential area, the multiple driveways, and for continuity of speed. ♦ West Street between Chapman Avenue and Orangewood Avenue, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.6(b), based on the 85th percentile speed of 41 mph, the presence of bike lanes, being in a residential area, the multiple driveways, and the presence of on-street parking.
♦ Orangewood Avenue between Magnolia Street and Gilbert Street, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.7, based on the 85th percentile speed of 43 mph, a high concentration of pedestrians due to the nearby elementary school, the presence of bike lanes, being in a residential area, and the presence of on-street parking. ♦ Trask Avenue between Beach Boulevard and Newland Street, it is recommended that the existing speed limit of 40 mph be decreased to 35 mph per CVC 22358.7, based on the 85th percentile speed of 43 mph, a high concentration of pedestrians due to the adjacent elementary school, the multiple driveways, and for continuity of speed.
