The applicant's agreement to relinquish ownership of all cultural resources, including all archaeological artifacts that are found on the project DocuSign Envelope ID: 786C84EA-8368-4C97-B21F-DC822B99DCCB 46 area, to the tribe for proper treatment and disposition; and the applicant's agreement that all tribal sacred sites are to be avoided and preserved.

2. Human remains.
a. In compliance with state law, if human remains are unearthed, the project developer, pursuant to state health and safety code section 7050.5, will contact the county coroner and ensure no further disturbance occurs until the county coroner has made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to public resources code section 5097.98. b. If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) must be notified within 24 hours.

E. Migratory bird protection. Construction, grubbing, brushing, or tree removal shall be conducted outside of the state identified nesting season for migratory birds (typically March 15 through September 1, if possible. If construction is conducted during nesting season, a Pre-construction Nesting Bird Survey shall be conducted within and immediately adjacent to the project site by a qualified professional biologist no more than seven days prior to the beginning of any project-related physical activity that is likely to impact migratory birds. If active nests are found during the Pre-Construction Nesting Bird Survey, a Nesting Bird Plan (NBP) shall be prepared by a qualified biologist and implemented during construction. At a minimum, the NBP shall include guidelines for addressing active nests, establishing buffers, monitoring, and reporting. The size location and duration of all buffer zones, if required, shall be based on the nesting species, nesting sage, nest location, its sensitivity to disturbance, and intensity and duration of the disturbance activity. The buffers shall be maintained until the breeding season has ended or until a qualified professional biologist has determined that the birds have fledged and are no longer reliant upon the nest or parental care for survival.

CHAPTER 18.45 – D ESIGN REVIEW
SECTION 35. Chapter 18.45 (Design Review) of the Gardena Municipal Code are hereby ADDED as follows:

Chapter 18.45

DESIGN REVIEW

18.45.005 Purpose.

Design review is a ministerial process that is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. The purpose of design review is to ensure that a project meets the applicable objective standards while at the same time encouraging affordable housing.

18.45.010 Where Applies.

Design review applies to:

A. All two-family dwellings;
B. A ny new housing project of two or more units, including a residential mixed-use housing project as defined in Chapter 18.04, or transitional or supportive housing where either 20 percent of the total units or sold or rented to lower income households or 100 percent are sold or rented to personas and families of moderate income or middle income as those terms are further defined in Government Code section 65915. For purposes of DocuSign Envelope ID: 786C84EA-8368-4C97-B21F-DC822B99DCCB 49 determining the 20 percent, the calculation is based on the number of units prior to the award of any density bonus units that may be requested.

18.45.020 Review
A. Whenever design review is required and prior to issuance of a building permit, a project’s design shall be approved pursuant to the following criteria:

1. The provisions of this chapter; and

2. All applicable and objective standards contained in Chapter 18.42; and

3. All applicable and objective development standards in the zone in which the development occurs.

B. Any modifications to the design aspects made after planning commission approval shall be grounds for a building permit plan check to be denied. This may be remedied in one of the following ways:

1. The plans may be revised to conform to the design review approval; or

2. A design review modification may be approved by the planning commission pursuant to 18.45.030.G;
C. If a development project involves discretionary permits as well as design review, the design review hearing shall be concurrent with said discretionary permits.

18.45.030 Procedure
The procedure for design review shall be as follows:

A. Filing of Applications. An application for design review shall be filed by the property owner, the property owner’s representative, or other person having the right to the possession of the land for which design approval is sought. Such application shall be filed with the community development department on forms provided by the department. As a part of the application, the applicant shall submit copies of the site plan, all building elevations drawn to scale, and either color renderings or specifications of exterior colors and materials that will be used. A color and materials board that displays exact colors to be used as well as samples of exterior finishes must also be submitted.

B. Filing Fees. The applicant shall pay to the city a filing fee established by City Council resolution for the purpose of defraying the costs incurred by the city in processing the design review application.

C. Review.

1. An application shall be reviewed for completeness.

DocuSign Envelope ID: 786C84EA-8368-4C97-B21F-DC822B99DCCB 50 2. S taff shall provide a review for consistency within the time frames provided for by state law. If an application is determined not to be consistent, the city shall notify the applicant in writing, identifying the provisions for which the application is non-conforming along with an explanation of the reasons it considers the project to be inconsistent or not in compliance with the objective provisions.

D. The Director shall approve all designs that meet the applicable objective development standards of the applicable zone and Chapter 18.42 for the single-family residential, and low-density multi-residential zones.

E. The planning commission shall hold a noticed public hearing and approve designs that meet the applicable objective development standards of the applicable zone and Chapter 18.42 for all other projects subject to this Chapter.

2. Notice shall be mailed to property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the project site.

F. The decision of the planning commission shall be rendered in writing. Decisions shall be final unless appealed or called for review.

G. Any modification to an approved design review must be approved by the planning commission in the same manner as a new design review application. However, only the changes from the previously approved design review will be considered at a modification hearing,

1. In the event that any modifications are found by the planning commission to not be compliant with the objective standards, the original approval will remain in force for those modifications;

2. In such case, applicants shall be provided the opportunity to revise all modifications to make them compliant with objective standards and the hearing shall be continued until this is a chieved or the modification application is withdrawn;

3. When a modification application is continued and no revisions are submitted to the community development department for 90 days, the modification application shall be deemed by the planning commission at the next regularly scheduled meeting to be abandoned;
a. An abandoned application shall be considered equivalent to a withdrawn application and no further continuances of the hearing are required;
b. The applicant shall be notified in writing not less than 15 days prior to the 90 day expiration of a modification application; DocuSign Envelope ID: 786C84EA-8368-4C97-B21F-DC822B99DCCB 51 c.

END OF T EXT AMENDMENTS
SECTION 36. Overlay on Housing Element Inventory Sites.

The City’s Housing Element identified approximately 468 parcels that were identified as Inventory Sites which were to receive an housing overlay to accommodate the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation. The parcels shown on Exhibit A are listed on Exhibit B are all rezoned to receive housing overlays as shown on said Exhibit.

SECTION 37. Rescission of Artesia Corridor Specific Plan.

A. The Artesia Corridor Specific Plan is hereby rescinded. The properties within the Artesia Corridor shall be rezoned from Artesia Corridor Specific Plan to the following as more specifically described on Exhibit B:

AREA ZONING
1 Artesia Corridor Specific Plan → General Commercial (C-3) 2 Artesia Corridor Specific Plan → Very High Density Residential (R-6) 3/4 Artesia Corridor Specific Plan → Artesia Mixed-Use 4/5 Artesia Corridor Specific Plan → 1450 Artesia Specific Plan 6 Artesia Corridor Specific Plan → Official (O)
SECTION 38. No Net Loss. Government Code section 65863 provides that the City may not change a land use designation or zoning ordinance to a less intensive use unless the DocuSign Envelope ID: 786C84EA-8368-4C97-B21F-DC822B99DCCB 52 city concurrently changes development standards, policies and conditions applicable to other parcels to ensure there is no net loss in residential capacity. The eastern portion of Area 4 of the Artesia Corridor Specific Plan would have allowed for approximately 40 housing units to be built. With the change of zoning to 1450 Artesia Specific Plan, residential uses will not be allowed in this area. The loss of residential units in this area is more than made up for by the rezoning of Area 2 of the Specific Plan to the Very High Density Multi-Family (R-6) zone which will allow 51-70 dwelling units per acre.

SECTION 39. CEQA Compliance. This Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA based on the following:

CEQA Guidelines section 15308 provides a categorical exemption for actions taken to assure the maintenance, restoration, enhancement, or protection of the environment where the regulatory process involves procedures for protection. So long as the City fails to have a compliant Housing Element, it has virtually no control over development in the City and loses its ability to obtain funding to help with future planning. Additionally, until the City adopts development standards for these new zones, there will be no limits on what can be built in these new zones, with the minor exception of the density standards set forth in the General Plan. Further, the City loses its ineligibility for certain funding until the inventory properties are rezoned. Therefore, the rezoning of the Inventory Sites and adoption of the new development standards fall within this exemption. None of the exceptions to the exemption which are set forth in Section 15300.2 of the Guidelines apply.

CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3) provides a common sense exemption for actions where it can be seen with certainty that there will not be an effect on the environment. Under existing law, if there is an inconsistency between the general plan and zoning, a developer may build to the density allowed in the general plan. Therefore, rezoning properties to be consistent with the higher density land use designation has no effect because those properties may already be built out to what is allowed under the new zoning.

Additionally, th e common sense exemption applies to the rezoning of the properties of the Areas 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Artesia Corridor Specific Plan.

SECTION 40. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance, or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase be declared unconstitutional.

SECTION 41. Ce rtification. The City Clerk shall certify the passage of this ordinance and shall cause the same to be entered in the book of original ordinances of said City; shall make a minute passage and adoption thereof in the records of the meeting at which time DocuSign Envelope ID: 786C84EA-8368-4C97-B21F-DC822B99DCCB 53 the same is passed and adopted; and shall, within 15 days after the passage and adoption thereof, cause the same to be published as required by law, in a publication of general circulation.

SECTION 42. Effective Date. This ordinance shall take effect on the 31 st day after passage.

Passed, approved, and adopted this 28th day of February, 2023.

2. Documents Incorporated by Reference and Priority

Incorporated by reference into this agreement are the following documents:

As between the incorporated documents and the remainder of this Agreement, the rest of this Agreement takes priority in case of a conflict.

3. Budget, Invoices, and Payments

b) Recipient acknowledges that the funds under this Agreement have a liquidation date of June 30, 2027, a legal timeframe after which the CEC has no authority to pay the funds.

Accordingly, Recipient acknowledges that if it does not submit accurate invoices by March 30, 2027, for all amounts due under the Agreement, it risks not receiving payment, and relinquishes all rights to such payments should the CEC not pay it by the liquidation date. Recipient acknowledges that time is of the essence in invoicing by March 30, 2027, for all amounts due under this Agreement.

The Recipient may request payment from the Energy Commission at any time during the term of this Agreement after successful adoption of a qualifying solar permitting platform as verified by the CEC, but no more frequently than monthly.

Meeting Date: February 28, 2023

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE GARDENA CITY COUNCIL AGENDA TITLE:

Approve Fuel Contract Increase with Clean Energy for the Purchase of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
CONTACT: TRANSPORTATION
COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:

RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

In FY22 GTrans used nearly
200,000
gasoline gallon equivalents of compressed natural gas
(CNG) to operate ove
r 500,000
miles using its CNG vehicles. Typically, GTrans spends
between
$1,000,000 and $1,500,000
million in fuel (both CNG and gasoline) each year to
operate its transit service and non-revenue vehicles, with approximately $420,000 budgeted for CNG.

In 2022, GTrans prepared its two-year budget for FY23 and FY24, and included a higher per gasoline gallon equivalent (GGE) estimate for CNG expenditures in both years. As we witnessed with the price of gasoline last year, the nation is now experiencing unprecedented factors causing the commodity cost of natural gas used for CNG in the Western United States to make a historic and rapid spike of nearly 128%. This price impact is being felt across all natural gas industry sectors (i.e. residential, commercial, industrial and transportation).

According to SoCal Gas, the dramatic price increase in natural gas is due to:

Widespread, below-normal temperatures
High natural gas consumption
Reduced natural gas flows
Pipeline constraints, including maintenance in West Texas

When the budget was developed, we were not able to foresee this significant spike. In addition, because of last year's spike in gasoline prices, GTrans has worked to increase usage of its CNG buses over its gasoline-powered buses, to take advantage of what was a historically lower-priced fuel. GTrans negotiated a contract with Clean Energy for its CNG supply, which provides some discount in our contracted rate. In addition, the agreement provides a cost sharing of federal fuel credits to GTrans for its usage, which does help offset some of the cost. However, our original estimates for fuel for FY23 are not sufficient to carry us through the end of our annual contract with Clean Energy for CNG fuel, in September of 2023. Staff has done an analysis to calculate anticipated CNG needs through the end of the fiscal year, using an even more conservative estimate of $4.25 per GGE.

Therefore, staff recommends increasing the current offsite fuel contract with Clean Energy for fuel expenditures by $595,680 for a new total of $1,017,152.

FINANCIAL IMPACT/COST:

GTrans can accommodate this increase within its overall FY23 budget. There is no impact to the General Fund.

Execution of One-Year Agreement with JL Group, LLC for Background Investigation Services Not to Exceed $77,000
COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:

Staff Recommendation: Authorize and Execute Contract.

RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

In December 2020, the Gardena Police Department released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to acquire a new contract for background investigation services related to both sworn and civilian applicants. The minimum requirements of the RFP were that the selected Contractor shall have a minimum of three years' experience, shall possess a valid California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services (BSIS) license, and be Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certified. The RFP also stated that it was the preference of the City that all personnel who perform under this Contractor are licensed private investigators. The City received seven proposals and JL Group, LLC was determined to be the lowest responsible bidder. Therefore, the City Council awarded a one-year contract to JL Group, LLC on March 23, 2021. The original agreement was a one-year contract that could be extended by two additional one-year periods. In 2022, after a successful first year working together, the Police Department executed the option to extend for the first one-year renewal.

During this time, the Gardena Police Department has continued to be satisfied with the services provided by JL Group. The background investigations have been thorough and led to the successful hiring of
38 applicants. Based on the successful relationship thus far, the Police Department would like to exercise the option for the final one-year contract extension, as allowed by the RFP and contract. Per the terms of the contract, JL Group, LLC will maintain their original pricing of $1,320 for sworn employee background investigations, $1,080 for civilian employee background investigations, and $480 for initial screenings. The Police Department anticipates the same estimated annual quantity of each background investigation; therefore, the Police Department anticipates the one-year contract with JL Group, LLC to once again not exceed $77,000.

JL Group, LLC has over 70 years combined experience in law enforcement and private investigation. All the individuals who will work on this contract are licensed private investigators. The investigators have worked with agencies such as Huntington Beach Police Department, Carlsbad Police Department, and the City of Torrance City Attorney's Office, to name a few.

FINANCIAL IMPACT/COST:

This one-year contract with JL Group, LLC will be funded by contractual services and shall not exceed $77,000.
