Recusal Rules

Business Entity Disclosures. The official must disclose “the name of the business entity, [a] general description of the business’ activity, and any position held.” Real Property Disclosures. The official must disclose one of the following: “Real property address, assessor’s number, or identification that the property is the official’s personal residence.”

Source of Income. The official must disclose the name of the source of income.

Source of Gift. The official must disclose the name of the source of a gift.

Personal Financial Effect. The official must disclose the nature of the expense, liability, asset, or income affected.

Timing of Disclosure

The public identification must be made immediately before the consideration of the agenda item. If the official leaves the meeting before the agenda item is called, the official must “publicly identify the agenda item and the financial interest prior to leaving the meeting.” If the individual arrives after the consideration of the item where the individual was disqualified, s/he must publicly identify the agenda item and financial interest immediately upon joining the meeting. It remains legal to avoid any disclosure requirements by entirely absenting oneself from a meeting in its entirety.

Identification of conflicts for closed sessions must be made orally during open session before the body goes into closed session. However, the identification may be limited to a declaration that the recusal is due to a conflict of interest under Section 87100.

Leaving the Room

Once an official identifies the conflict, s/he must generally step down from the dais and leave the room and refrain from participating in the decision. If the item is on the consent calendar, the official may remain in the room. However, we suggest that if the item is pulled from the consent calendar for discussion, then the official leave the room.

Special rules apply when the official has a personal interest in the agenda item, including interests in real property owned by the official or immediate family members or business entities owned by the official or immediate family members. In that case, the official must leave the dais and speak or observe from the area reserved for the public relating to his or her personal interest.

Real Property Rules

An official has an interest in real property which s/he owns, including a personal residence. A financial interest includes any real property in which the official has a direct

Recusal Rules

or indirect interest of at least $2,000. This can include a pro rata share of interests in real property of a business entity or trust in which the individual or immediate family owns, directly, indirectly, or beneficially, a 10 percent interest or greater. Month- to-month tenancies are not considered an interest in real property. A financial effect need only be reasonably foreseeable. This standard does not require as much certainty as “substantially likely” which was considered to require more than 50 percent likely.

For real property, the FPPC includes specific presumptions.

• Property within 500 foot radius - If an official’s property is within 500 feet of a decision, the official may not participate unless there is clear and convincing evidence that the decision will not have any measurable impact on the official’s property.

• P roperty between 501 – 1,000 foot radius – If an official’s property is within this range, the official must consider a number of factors to determine whether participation would be allowed including: whether the decision will impact the development potential or income- producing potential of his or her property; or whether the decision would impact the use of his or her property or the character of the neighborhood due to such things as noise, traffic, view or privacy. If it is reasonably foreseeable that there will be a material financial effect (i.e., $2,000 or more), then the official may not participate in the decision.

• Property outside of a 1,000 foot radius – If the property is outside of a 1,000 foot radius, then there is a presumption that the financial effect is not material. This presumption can only be rebutted if there is clear and convincing evidence that the decision would have a “substantial effect on the official’s property.”

• Leasehold interest – If the official has a leasehold interest as opposed to an ownership interest, the interest would be material if the decision changes the termination date of the lease, or affects the potential rental value of the property, changes the actual or allowable use of the property, or impacts the official’s use and enjoyment of the property.

The conflict of interest rules contain an exemption for when the decision on a financial interest is indistinguishable from the effect on the public generally. In order for this to apply, the official must establish that a significant segment of the public is affected and effect on the official’s financial interest is not unique as compared to the effect on the significant segment. With relation to the official’s primary residence, a significant segment of the public is at least 15 percent of residential real property within the jurisdiction.

Housing Element Implementation/Land Use Plan/Zoning Ordinance

In the coming months, the Planning Commission and City Council will be asked to readopt the Housing Element, adopt the Land Use Element and adopt changes to the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map. Staff has made the necessary computations and determined that 58% of all R-1 properties and 55% of all R -2 properties are within 1,000 feet of the new housing overlay zones. Therefore, no official should be disqualified from participating in the decisions relating to these items based on ownership of their primary

Recusal Rules

residence. This analysis would not apply to individual projects such as the developments being proposed on Normandie and Western.

If you have other ownership interests in real property, please contact the City Attorney’s office so we may discuss this with you.

1 RESOLUTION NO. 6677

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDENA,

CALIFORNIA READOPTING THE UPDATE TO THE LAND USE PLAN
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL IN FEBRUARY 2023
WHEREAS, on February 15, 2023 the City Council approved the City’s 6 th Cycle Housing Element (Resolution No. 6619) and under a program in the Housing Element, also approved changes to the Land Use Plan and Land Use Map (Resolution No. 6620), as well as amended the City’s Zoning Map and Zoning Ordinance (Urgency Ordinance No. 1847 and Ordinance No. 1848, hereafter collectively referred to as Ordinance No. 1848) under a program in the Housing Element which provided that the City should complete environmental review on the Inventory Sites and Noninventory Sites that were being contemplated for change; and
WHEREAS, the City has since prepared an Environmental Impact Report for the project which includes the change in land use designations and zoning of all of the inventory sites that were included in the 6
th Cycle Housing Element and the previous zone
text amendments that were included in Ordinance No. 1848, and the proposed changes in land use designation and zoning of the N on-inventory Sites as well as other land use and zoning changes; and
WHEREAS, at a meeting held on June 18, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Gardena held a duly noticed public hearing on this matter, at which time it considered all evidence presented, both written and oral; and WHEREAS, at the close of the public hearing the Planning Commission adopted a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt this Resolution; and WHEREAS, at a meeting held on July 24, 2024, the City Council of the City of Gardena held a duly noticed public hearing on this matter, at which time it considered all evidence presented, both written and oral; and
WHEREAS, the project studied in the EIR included an analysis of the impacts of rezoning all of the Inventory Sites as well as adding 802 Non-Inventory Sites and making other clean-up changes to the zoning map and zoning code; and WHEREAS, the EIR also studied three alternatives which were the No Project Alternative (Alternative 1); the Inventory Sites Only Alternative (Alternative 2); and a Reduced Density Alternative (Alternative 3); and
2 WHEREAS, the City Council desires to approve a modification to Alternative 2, the Inventory Sites Only Analysis, which is set forth in the EIR (hereafter “Modified Alternative 2”). The approved Modified Alternative 2 consists of the following elements:

A. Readoption of the Updated Land Use Plan, including the Land Use Map, as approved in February 2023, without change;
B. Readoption of the zoning changes to the Inventory Sites only Alternative, including
the recission of the Artesia Corridor Specific Plan zoning and rezoning of those parcels;
C.

Elimination of the parking zone on properties that are split zoned with a commercial or industrial use;
D.

Readoption of all text amendments set forth in Ordinance No. 1848 in their entirety;
E. Clar
ification regarding the treatment of split-zoned residential parcels; and F. Clean-up m
odifications to the zoning code of the City of Gardena; and WHEREAS, prior to adopting this Resolution, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 6676 certifying the Environmental Impact Report for this Project;

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GARDENA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTIO
N 1. The City Council hereby takes the following action in approving Modified Alternative 2: The City Council readopts the Updated Land Use Plan (Exhibit A), including the changes to the Land Use Map (Exhibit B), as approved by Resolution No. 6620 in February 2023 without change. The changes to each parcel are set forth on Exhibit C.

SECTION 2. Findings.

A. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.

B. The readoption of the Land Use Plan will be consistent with the objectives, policies, general policies of the other plans and elements of the Gardena General Plan.

C. The changes set forth herein represent good land use practices which are required by the public necessity, convenience and the general welfare. 3 SECTION 3. CEQA Findings – Impact Analysis /Mitigation Measures/Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

Under CEQA Guidelines section 15091, the lead agency is required to make specific findings relating to mitigation measures when there are significant impacts identified in the EIR.

A. As the General Plan amendment and rezoning is a policy document, outside of looking at alternatives, there were no changes or alterations identified in the EIR that could be made that would avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects identified in the EIR.

B. There are no changes or alterations that are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency that would lessen environmental impacts. As new regulations are adopted by state and local agencies, they will be applied to each development project.

C. The City Council finds that the topics listed in Section 8 .0 of the EIR of Effects Found Not to Be Significant did not require any further analysis.

D. The impacts that are analyzed in the EIR are discussed in detail in Sections 5 .1 through 5.16 and summarized in Section 1.0, Executive Summary, of the Draft EIR and identified therein as less than significant, less than significant after mitigation, and significant even after mitigation (See Table 1-5). The following subsections E and F are a summary of the mitigation measures and impacts which are all fully described in the EIR.

E. The EIR identifies the below topic areas as significant, but to be mitigated below a level of significance.

1. Under Cultural Resources, it was determined that the Project could cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of both historical and archaeological resources. The impacts to historical resources will be reduced below a level of significance by Mitigation Measure CUL -1 which requires a historic resource technical study prepared for buildings more than 45 years old by a qualified architectural historian and the implementation of recommendations from such study. The impacts to archaeological resources will be mitigated below a level of significance by Mitigation Measure CUL-2 which requires either a technical resources assessment by a qualified archaeologist or full-time monitoring by an archaeologist and a Native American monitor.

When resources are known or reasonably anticipated, a mitigation plan is required.

2. Under Geology and Soils it was determined that the Project could destroy a unique paleontological resource, site, or unique geologic feature. The impacts 4 will be mitigated below a level of significance by Mitigation Measure GEO -1, which requires a paleontological assessment or monitoring excavations below five feet. When resources are known or reasonably anticipated, a mitigation plan is required.

3. Under Noise, it was determined that the Project could result in the generation of noise and groundborne vibrations in excess of standards. The noise impact will be mitigated below a level of significance by Mitigation Measure NOI-1 which requires a site -specific noise study for any parcel within 500 feet of a sensitive use. The groundborne vibration impact will be mitigated below a level of significance by Mitigation Measure NOI-2 which requires vibration impact study and a mitigation plan for projects using pile drivers within 200 feet of existing buildings or vibratory rollers within 50 feet of existing buildings.

F. The EIR identifies the following topic areas as being significant and unavoidable.

1. Under Air Quality, the Project will conflict with the applicable air quality plan and result in cumulative air impacts relating to pollutants. Mitigation Measures AQ -1 through AQ -7 will reduce these impacts, but not below a level of significance. The measures are summarized as follows: AQ -1 – requires dust control measures; AQ-2 requires Tier 4 construction equipment; AQ-3 requires low VOC paints; AQ-4 requires electric construction equipment if available; AQ -5 requires alternative fueled construction equipment; AQ-6 requires construction equipment to be maintained; and AQ-7 requires construction vehicles to be maintained. Even with these mitigation measures in place, there will be significant impacts with regard to inconsistency with the AQMP relating to both construction emissions/air quality standards and the exceedance of the AQMP’s growth projection assumption. Both of these impacts remain significant and unavoidable under a cumulative analysis as well.

2. Under Public Services/Parks, the Project will result in significant impacts to parks and recreational facilities, including under a cumulative analysis. There are no mitigation measures that are available to lessen this impact.

G. There are no mitigation measures which were identified as infeasible. All identified mitigation measures are included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program attached hereto as Exhibit D. The City Council hereby adopts the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. Each mitigation measure shall be placed as a condition of approval on all future development projects in the City as applicable.

SECTION 4. CEQA Findings – Alternatives.

Section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines also requires that findings be made regarding alternatives in addition to mitigation measures when there are significant impacts which have been identified in the EIR . The EIR is required to identify the environmentally superior project and make findings why such alternative is not adopted. T he EIR examined three alternatives to the Project. The Alternatives are discussed in detail in 5 Chapter 7 of the EIR and summarized in Chapter 1. The purpose of looking at alternatives is to try and avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the Project while still attaining most of the basic objectives. As discussed in Section 3 above, the only impacts of the Project that could not be reduced to a less than significant level are air quality impacts and impacts to parks and recreational facilities. There was no identified alternative which eliminated all significant environmental effects.

A. Alternative 1 is the No Project/Existing General Plan Alternative which would involve a recission of the previously approved changes to the Inventory Sites.

While this alternative would eliminate the air quality impacts, there would still be a significant and unavoidable impact on parks and recreation, although less of one, as the City already has a deficiency in park space. However, this A lternative fails to meet the fundamental objectives of the project of implementing the Housing Element programs for Inventory Sites, creating consistency between the General Plan and zoning, preserving multi-family lots for higher density, providing opportunities for a mix of housing at varying densities, providing opportunities to align housing production with sustainability goals, and eliminating split zoning. Moreover, this Alternative places the Land Use Plan and zoning in direct opposition to the City’s Housing Element and places the City at risk for projects to be developed under the Builder’s Remedy as well as would create legal issues and open the City up to litigation regarding its Housing Element . Additionally, HCD’s approval of the 6
th Cycle Housing Element would no longer be valid.

B. Alternative 2 is the Inventory Sites Only Alternative which would constitute simply leaving the previous changes made in February 2023 to the Land Use Plan and the zoning in place without any additional changes. This alternative would still result in significant and unavoidable air quality impacts and impacts to parks and recreation. This alternative would meet some, but not all of the objectives as it would not provide as great a mix of housing at varying densities, provide as much opportunity to align housing with local sustainability goals, or eliminate split zoning and consistency with the General Plan and zoning. While the EIR did not identify this Alternative as the environmentally superior alternative, the City Council finds that as compared to the proposed project and Alternative 3, this project would have fewer impacts in the areas of air quality and public services with regard to parks and recreation – the two areas which were signif icant and unavoidable in the proposed project and Alternative 3. Additionally, Alternative 2 would have fewer impacts in the areas which did not have unavoidable and significant impacts, including energy, geology and soils, noise, and utilities and servic e systems. This is based on the analysis set forth in the Alternatives section of the EIR and due to the fact that Alternative 2 would have less residential growth and development of new housing.

C. Alternative 3 is a Reduced Density Alternative which would include fewer Non-Inventory Sites than the proposed project . This alternative would also still have 6 significant and unavoidable impacts relating to air quality as identified above and impacts to parks and recreation. The EIR identified this alternative as the environmentally superior alternative because it would provide a greater mix of housing and better achieve local sustainability goals.

D. Based on the above, the City Council finds that Alternative 2 is the environmentally superior project. While both Alternatives 2 and 3 reduce impacts from the proposed project in various areas, Alternative 2 provides the greater reduction in the two areas that were significant and unavoidable – air quality impacts relating to consistency with the AQMP and the exceedance of the AQMP’s population growth assumptions and associated air emissions and impacts on parks and recreation.

E. The City Council has approved Modified Alternative 2 as described above.

The only difference between this Alternative and Alternative 2 set forth in the EIR is that not all split zoned properties are eliminated and the City is not revising zoning based on existing uses and densities. These minor changes do not change the environmental impact analysis.

F. Even if Alternative 3 were the environmentally superior alternative, the City Council finds this Alternative to be infeasible based on social considerations. Gardena should remain a balanced community that is predominantly single-family residential. The existing and planned development patterns in lower density -zoned areas should be protected to the extent feasible while providing adequate Inventory Sites to satisfy the City’s RHNA allocation. This could not be accomplished by Alternative 3 for the following reasons:

1. Alternative 3 would more than double the number of parcels which would be available for housing by adding an additional 672 Non-Inventory Parcels.

2. Alternative 3 will allow the elimination of 146 single- family home developments while adding a total of 7,436 multi-family units.

3. Alternative 3 will allow the eliminat ion of 6,087,399 square feet of non-residential development along important corridors in the City, thereby eliminating the opportunity to provide important goods and services to the community.

SECTION 5. CEQA Findings – Statement of Overriding Considerations.

Under CEQA Guidelines section 15093, when a project has significant and unavoidable impacts, the lead agency is required to balance the benefits of the project against unavoidable environmental risks. The City Council hereby finds the environmental 7 impacts of Modified Alternative 2 are outweighed by the benefits based on the following.

Each and every reason constitutes a separate and independent grounds for approval.

A. There are no alternatives which eliminate every significant impact. Modified Alternative 2 provides the greatest reduction to the significant and unavoidable impacts identified in the EIR.

B. I
n order to maintain the approval of the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element by HCD, the City must maintain the rezoning and overlays on the Inventory Sites as set forth in the Housing Element and as implemented by Resolution No. 6619 and Ordinance No. 1848.

Modified Alternative 2 accomplishes this. Eliminating any of the Inventory Sites identified in the Housing Element could lead to such things as: an invalidation of the Housing Element; an application of the Builder’s Remedy in Gardena; and a loss of grant funding.

SECTION 6. CEQA Findings - Custodian of Record.

Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the Project. All summaries of information in the findings which precede this section are based on the entire record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings and approval are based are located in the Community Development Department at City Hall, 1700 W. 162
nd Street, Gardena, California 90247. The Custodian of Records is Greg Tsujiuchi, Community Development Director who can be reached at 310/217- 9546 or [email protected].

SECTION 7. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect on the thirty-first day after passage.

SECTION 8. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this resolution, 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 resolution 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.

Gardena General Plan
Land Use Plan, 2023 Update

Authority
The State of California has mandated, through Title 7, Chapter 3, Article 5, the requirement that city and county governments adopt a general plan. Section 65302(a) requires a land use element as part of the general plan and reads as follows:
“A land use element which designates the proposed general distribution and general location and extent of the uses of the land for housing, business, industry, open space, including agriculture, natural resources, recreation and enjoyment of scenic beauty, education, public buildings and grounds, and other categories of public and private uses of the land. The land use element shall include a statement of the standards of population density and building intensity recommended for the various districts and other territory covered by the plan which are subject to flooding and shall be reviewed annually with respect to such areas.”
Purpose
The purpose of the land use element of a general plan is to improve the use of the land and relationships between the different land uses in the way that best serves the health, safety, welfare and convenience of the general public. Of all sections and elements of the general plan, the land use element is the foundation and focal point of the general plan. However, it does not stand alone. Significant policy exchange and interaction must exist with the other general plan elements to form a basis for a successful general plan.

Gardena is a fully developed city and, to a large degree, the land use pattern is established. Therefore, the purpose of the Gardena General Plan 2006, as updated in 2023, is to focus on refinements to the land use patterns and polices which will encourage community rejuvenation and address changes in the marketplace and demands for housing imposed by the State that have occurred since the original General Plan was adopted in 1975. Ideally, these refinements will enhance the community over time and provide direction for the future growth of the community.

Relationship to Other Plans and Planning Tools
There are eight mandated elements to the General Plan: Land Use; Circulation; Housing; Conservation; Open Space; Noise; Safety; and Environmental Justice. Gardena has adopted each of these elements, although some elements are grouped together under a “super” element and the documents are referred to as plans, rather than elements.

Gardena’s Land Use Plan is part of the Community Development Element which als o Exhibit A
Gardena General Plan– Land Use Plan, 2023 Update

Community Development Element
Land Use Plan
LU-2
includes an Economic Development Plan, a Community Design Plan, and a Circulation Plan.

The inseparable relationship between the Land Use Plan and all other plans and elements in the General Plan is especially true with the mandated Circulation Plan, Open Space Plan and Housing Element. Of all the elements required by State law, the Land Use Plan has the broadest scope. Since it governs how land is to be utilized, virtually all of the issues and policies contained in other elements are embodied and reflected in the Land Use Plan. The Land Use Plan should serve to promote a balance between and among conflicting forces of growth and change as represented by the other plans and elements.

In Gardena’s case, with a well -defined land use pattern in existence, the land use refinements discussed in this Land Use Plan need to take into consideration the impact on traffic, housing, noise, etc. Every aspect of the environment is directly or indirectly affected by land use; this is true also of the social and economic sectors.

The General Plan Law and Guidelines and the Planning, Zoning, and Development Laws govern the scope and content of the Land Use Plan for the State (California Government Code Sections 65000 et seq.). Several regional plans and programs are also considered in the formulation, adoption, and implementation of local land use policy and they are discussed as follows.

SCAG CONNECT SoCal 2020 - 2045
In 2012, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) adopted the 2012- 2035 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). On September 3, 2020, SCAG’s Regional Council adopted the updated RTP/SCS, known as Connect SoCal (2020-2045) which covers SCAG’s six -county region (Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura). “Connect SoCal is a long - range visioning plan that builds on and expands land use and transportation strategies established over several planning cycles to increase mobility options and achieve a more sustainable growth pattern.”
In addition to the mobility component of the plan, it also complies with California's Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (SB 375), which required SCAG to develop a regional “Sustainable Communities Strategy” of land use, housing, and transportation policies that will move the region towards meeting the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target. Connect SoCal also includes land use and transportation policies, as well as population, household and employment growth forecasts for local jurisdictions. These forecasts were developed using a bottom-up approach with input from local governments and incorporating local general plans.

Gardena General Plan– Land Use Plan, 2023 Update

Community Development Element
Land Use Plan
LU-3
According to Connect SoCal, almost the entirety of Gardena is located within a High Quality Transit Area. Despite Connect SoCal predicting an increase of 3,100 households (occupied housing units) between 2020 and 2040 for a total of 24,200 households, SCAG assigned Gardena a Regional Housing Needs Assessment of 5,735 dwelling units between 2021 and 2029. This unprecedented increase was due to the Department of Housing and Community Development’s projection of a need for 1,341,827 housing units throughout the SCAG region based on projected and existing needs.

Gardena Municipal Code
As required by State law, the Gardena Municipal Code serves as the primary tool for implementing the goals and policies of the Land Use Plan in the General Plan. Title 18 of the Municipal Code pertains to Zoning and it specifies the types of allowable uses, as well as development standards such as minimum lot size, building heights , setbacks, parking standards, and others. The Land Use Plan defines the land use policies and the Zoning Ordinance provides the detailed and specific regulations and standards for all development projects within the City.

Concurrent with the adoption of this Land Use Plan, additional zones and development standards are being added to the Zoning Code to address the new polices, particularly with respect to higher density development and overlay zones and to bring the Zoning Code into compliance with the General Plan. Additionally , this Land Use Plan and the Zoning Code have been updated to address the housing programs that were set forth in the Housing Elements since the adoption of the General Plan in 2006, including the most recent adoption of the 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element.

Specific Plans
Specific Plans are a statutory creation (Government Code § 65450 et seq.). Specific plans are either advisory or regulatory documents that provide more focused guidance and regulation for particular areas. Specific plans are a useful tool to implement planning and development goals within selected areas by adopting unique standards and requirements.

Generally, specific plans include land use, circulation and infrastructure plans, development standards, design guidelines, and all specific plans must include phasing, financing, and implementation plans.

Specific plans can provide for all residential uses, all commercial uses, or a mix of uses as determined appropriate. Specific plans are also useful in allowing the City to provide for site specific high-density residential and mixed-use residential development which is required to meet the City’s obligations under State housing law.

LU-4
As of the 2023 revision of this Land Use Plan, there are eleven approved specific plans within the City of Gardena, all for residential development. A twelfth specific plan area is identified which will be for commercial and industrial development. Each specific plan is summarized in the following Table LU-1.

Much of the recent new housing construction in Gardena occurred through the implementation of sp ecific plans. The Gardena Transit Oriented Development Specific Plan, adopted in 2021, the newest residential specific plan in Gardena, introduced 265 residential units. In total, over 880 residential units have been or will be developed in the specific plan areas . As of December 2022, the City received applications for two new specific plans, one on Normandie Avenue and one on Western Avenue, for high density residential uses where the current land use regulations do not allow for such use .

Between the two specific plans, they propose an additional 599 new residential units.

Land Use - 2023
Gardena is a highly urbanized city that is approximately 99 % developed. In 2005 there were 44 acres of land considered vacant in the City ; in January 2013, this was reduced to 31.7 acres of vacant land. And as of February 2023, th ere are only 7.5 vacant acres remaining, which includes approximately 3 acres known as the Gardena Sumps which cannot be developed. The predominant land use has been and remains single- family residential, which now accounts for 33.2 % of the total area of the City. Remaining residential land uses, which includes two units and above, as well as mobile home parks, account for approximately 12 % of the City. Commercial uses, which are primarily located along Artesia Boulevard, Redondo Beach Boulevard, Crenshaw Avenue, and Western Avenue, cover 10.12 % of the total. Industrial uses accounted for 14.9% and are largely located north of Rosecrans Avenue between Van Ness Avenue and Normandie Avenue.

Streets and rights-of-way account for 21.7 percent of City land.

Table LU-2 presents the actual land uses in the City and Figure LU-1 illustrates the actual land use distribution as it exists as of January 2023. These general descriptions are not meant to be coextensive with the land use designations set forth in Table LU-3 .

Density and Intensity
State law requires a precise description of the various land use designations using two universal terms—density and intensity. Density and intensity are terms used to describe the level of development existing or permitted on a lot or parcel of land.

Density is one method of describing the residential land use categories and it refers to the number of housing units per acre of land. Density does not define the type of housing; therefore, zoning codes and general plans often include sub-categories to describe the type of housing, such as single family and multipl e family. For example, areas with apartments have higher densities than traditional single-family neighborhoods.

Intensity frequently applies to commercial and industrial land use categories. A method of defining intensity is the relationship between the total floor area of a building and the total area of the lot. This quantification is known as the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) which is determined by dividing the total building floor area by the total size of the parcel. For instance, a 10,000 square foot buildi ng on a 20,000 square foot lot has an FAR of 0.5.

Generally, commercial corridors along arterials are at higher intensities than neighborhood retail developments.

As shown in Figure LU -3, a building with the same FAR can be designed in different ways—as a low-rise building covering most of the lot, as a mid-size structure with less lot coverage, or as a taller structure with ample surrounding open space.

Residential Designations
The City of Gardena offers several designations for housing products of varying densities to meet the demand of current and future residents. Each residential designation is defined in the following sections. It should be noted that other compatible uses in residential neighborhoods include schools, parks, child care facilities, churches, and in certain instances mixed uses (residential and commercial). The maximum densities listed below do not include accessory dwelling units, junior accessory dwelling units, or additional types of residential units which are allowed by state law and explicitly excluded from density limits.

Single Family Residential
(Maximum Density: 9 units per acre: maximum 1 dwelling per lot) The single-family areas within Gardena are recognized as the backbone of the community and serve as one of its most important assets. The Single Family Residential designation is implemented by the Single- Family Residential (R -1) zone, which provides for t he development of conventional single-family detached houses. The Single Family Residential category is the largest land use category in the City. It occupies over one-quarter (26.34%) of all the land in the City and represents approximately one half (50.7%) of all residentially designated land in the General Plan.

Gardena General Plan– Land Use Plan, 2023 Update

LU-12
Low Density Residential
(Maximum Density: 17 units per acre: maximum 2 dwellings per lot) This designation allows for two units on a lot,
whether single- family attached or and
detached units. such as duplexes. This
category is implemented by the Low Density
Multiple-Family Residential (R- 2) zone and
represents 167.53 acres, which is
approximately 4.5% of all residentially
designated land in the General Plan.

Medium Density Residential
(Density: 12 -17 units per acre)
The Medium Density Residential
designation is intended to provide for
a range of multiple -family living
environments. This category is
implemented by the Medium Density
Multiple-Family Residential (R -3)
zone. This type of development could
include lower density multi -unit
residential development such as
townhome style units and higher
density single- family residential
development. This designation
covers 333.23 acres, or
approximately 9% of all residentially
designated land in the City.

LU-13
High Density Residential
(Density: 20 – 25 units per acre for lots less than 0.5 acres; Density: 20 – 30 units per acre for lots 0.5 acres or greater) The High Density Residential designation provides for a high quality, multiple- family living environment. This category is implemented by the High Density Multiple- Family Residential (R-4) zone and consists of two to three story multi-unit buildings. The High Density Residential land use designation accounts for 109.24 acres—slightly less than 3 percent of land in the City.

Very High Density Residential
(Density: 51-70 units per acre)
The Very High Density Residential category provides for the highest concentration of residential units in the City. This designation is provided on two industrial lots that were part of a specific plan that did not develop as intended. This category is implemented by the Very High Density Multiple-Family Residential (R-6) zone and consists of 7.61 acres or one fifth of one percent of the City..

Overlay Designations
The mixed-use overlay concept was originally introduced in 2006. The 2023 update of the Land Use Plan introduces four new housing overlays to account for the increased densities that are required to comply with the programs set forth in the City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element. The purpose of the overlay designations is to allow greater flexibility of development alternatives and provide opportunities for housing to meet the City’s housing needs. The overlays allow properties to be developed either in accordance with the underlying land use, as residential areas, or as a combination of commercial and residential uses.

In all of the designations, the mixed-use development may either be horizontal (residential behind or alongside commercial) or vertical (residential and commercial in the same building). Mixed use allows greater flexibili ty of development alternatives and allows for higher density residential development. Unlike the original Mixed-Use Overlay which only applied to certain commercial properties, the new housing overlay zones introduce the ability to allow residential uses o r mixed residential and commercial uses in industrial zones. Specific Plans can also allow for mixed-use development.

Mixed-Use Overlay
(Density: 20 – 25 units per acre for lots less than 0.5 acres; Density: 20 – 30 units per acre for lots 0.5 acres or greater; FAR: 0.5 for non-residential component)
The mixed-use overlay was the original overlay designation first adopted in 2006. This designation basically matches the High Density 30 Overlay in terms of density. There are 154.5 acres of Mixed- Use Overlay in the City. The underlying acreage is as of follows:

Neighborhood Commercial —13 acres; Commercial —101 acres; and Industrial —23 acres.

LU-15
Medium Density 20 Overlay
(Density: 12-20 units per acre)
There are 17 acres of the Medium Density 20 Overlay in the City. The underlying acreage is as of follows: Commercial —5 acres; Homes Business —1.91 acres; and Industrial —

10.1 acres. This designation has a maximum density of 20 units per acre and development standards that are similar to the standards of the Medi um Density Residential designation and the R-3 zone. The corresponding overlay in the Zoning Code is HO-3.

High Density 30 Overlay
(Density: 21-30 units per acre)
There are 44.2 acres of the High Density 30 Overlay in the City. The underlying acreage is as of follows: Commercial—6.19 acres; and Industrial—38.08 acres. This designation has a maximum density of 30 units per acre and development standards that closely adhere to the standards of the High Density Residential designation and the R -4 zone.

The corresponding overlay in the Zoning Code is HO-4.

High Density 50 Overlay
(Density: 31-50 units per acre)
There are 62.3 acres of High Density 50 Overlay in the City. The underlying acreage is as follows: Home Business —0.69 acres: Commercial —35.7 acres; In dustrial—23.92 acres; and Public and Institutional—1.89 acres. This designation allows density up to 50 unit per acre and corresponds to HO-5 overlay zone.

Very High Density 70 Overlay
(Density: 51-70 units per acre)
There are 68.2 acres of Very High Density 70 Overlay in Gardena. The underlying acreage is as follows: Commercial—36.40 acres; and Industrial—32.17 acres. The Very High Density 70 Overlay designation is for select areas where 70 units per acre can be accommodated and are most compatible with nearby uses. The corresponding overlay zone is HO-6, which is similar to the R-6 zone with respect to development standards.

LU-16
Mixed-Use Designations
The Mixed- Use designations are much like the overlay designations in th at they are intended to provide for the co-existence of residential and commercial, office or industrial uses in the same area, and even within the same building or on the same lot. Mixed-use areas create a more vibrant community and help reduce reliance on personal vehicles.

Home Business
(Maximum Density: 9 units per acre; maximum 1 dwelling per lot) The Home Business designation allows specified businesses and industrial uses to be located on lots occupied by single- family residences. This limited area is located in the southern portion of the City, generally between 178th Street, Hobart Boulevard, 182nd Street and Denker Avenue.

Commercial Residential
(Density: 24 - 34 units per acre)
There are 18.51 acres of Commercial Residential in the City. The Commercial Residential designation is located along Gardena Boulevard between Normandie Boulevard and Vermont Boulevard. This designation allows for a mix of commercial and residential uses.

Artesia Mixed Use
(Maximum Density: 18 units per acre)
The Artesia Mixed- Use designation covers the residential areas of the former Artesia Corridor Specific Plan and amounts to 10.71 acres. As with the previous Specific Plan, this use continues to allow a mix of residential, live-work and commercial. The maximum density is slightly higher than the maximum for Medium Density Residential but lower than the minimum density in High Density Residential or High Density 30 Overlay.

Non-Residential Designations
Gardena is a vibrant city that offers a variety of non- residential services for its residents and visitors. The non- residential land use designations include Neighborhood Commercial, Commercial, Industrial, and Public/Institutional uses. The commercial uses are located primarily along major streets to conveniently service the public. The industrial uses are located primarily in the northern and southern portions of the City, while the public uses are distributed throughout the City.

Holding Capacity Analysis
Gardena is virtually built out, with 99.2 percent of the total area developed. There are approximately 7.42 acres of vacant land currently available for development. As a result, future development will either occur through limited infill development , through recycling of existing developed land, or through utilization of the overlay zones.

Table LU-5 provides an estimate of the total number of dwelling units planned and the resulting population, and Table LU -6 estimates the potential future development in building square feet of commercial, industrial and public uses within the City. These estimates are based on assumptions of future dwelling unit densities and commercial and industrial building intensities.

Since the original estimates were prepared in 2006, a number of assumptions were corrected to provide a more accurate estimate of development. In the June 2012 update there was a recognition that to more accurately represent buildout, development in the mixed use overlay designation should be calculated at 50 percent residential and 5 0 percent non-residential. In the 2013 update there was further adjustment to reflect that the Mixed Use designation is made up of two distinct zones, one which allow s up to 34 dwelling units per acre (C -R zone) and one which allows only 9 dwelling units p er acre (H-B zone). Furthermore, it was recognized that development in the C-R zone should be allocated as 60 percent residential and 40 percent non-residential. In the 2023 update, the housing population per dwelling unit was increased to match current es timates.

Realistic capacities for the Single Family and Low Density Residential designations were updated to match the maximum allowed dwelling units per lot and the High Density Residential and Mixed -Use Overlay designation were updated to reflect the cha nge in allowed density per range of lot size. Lastly, the capacity for the new housing overlay designations were included in the 2023 update.

SECTION 7. Subsections 18.42.210. C and D of the Gardena Municipal Code relating to post-permit requirements are hereby amended to read as follows; all other sections are to remain the same:

C. Paleontological resources.

1. Prior to commencement of ground-dist urbing activities a qualified vertebrate paleontologist (as defined by the Soci ety for Vertebrate Paleontology) shall develop Worker Awareness and Environm ental Program (WEAP) Training for construction personnel. This training shall be presented to construction personnel and include what fossil remains may be found within the Project area and policies and procedures that must be followed in case of a discovery. Verification of the WEAP Training shall be provided to the Gardena Community Development Department.

2. If fossils or fossil bearing de posits are encountered during ground- disturbing activities, work within a 2550-foot radius of the find shall halt and a professional vertebrate pal eontologist (as defined by the Society for Vertebrate Paleontology) shall be contacted imm ediately to evaluate the find. The paleontologist shall have the authority to stop or divert construction, as necessary.

Documentation and treatment of the disco very shall occur in accordance with Society of Vertebrate Paleontology standards. The significance of the find shall be evaluated pursuant to the State CEQA Gui delines. If the discovery proves to be 7 significant, before construction activities resume at the location of the find, additional work such as data recovery excavation may be warranted, as deemed necessary by the paleontologist.

D. Cultural resources.

1. If Native American or tribal cultur al resources are found on the site, the applicant shall enter into a cultural re sources treatment agr eement with a local Native American tribe traditionally and cu lturally affiliated wit h Gardena that is acknowledged by the Native American Heritage Commission, which shall address the following:
a. Treatment and dispositi on of cultural resources in consultation with the City and a qualified archaeologist;
b. Designation, responsib ilities, and participation of professional tribal monitors during grading, excavation and ground disturbing activities during initial ground disturbance activities;
c. Project grading and development scheduling;
d. Terms of compensation for the tribal monitors;
e. Treatment and final disposition of any cultural resources and, sacred sites, and human remains discovered on site;
f. Tribal monitor's authority to st op and redirect grading in order to evaluate the significance of any pot ential resources discovered on the property, and to make recommendations as to treatment in consultation with the City and a qualified archaeologist; and
g. The applicant's agreement to relin quish ownership of all cultural resources, including all archaeological artifacts that are found on the project area, to the tribe for pr oper treatment and disposit ion; 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 co roner and ensure no further disturbance occurs until the county coroner has made the nec essary 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 (N AHC) must be notified within 24 hours.
8 SECTION 8. Zoning Findings.

A. The foregoing recitals are true and correct.

B. The adoption of the Zoni ng Map and changes to Title 18 are consistent with the City’s General Plan. More specifically, these changes implement changes required by the Housing Element and the changes create consistency with the City’s Land Use Plan.

C. The changes set forth her ein represent good land use practices which are required by the public necessity, convenience and the general welfare.

SECTION 9. CEQA Findings – Impact Analysis/M itigation Measures/Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

Under CEQA Guidelines sect ion 15091, the lead agency is required to make specific findings relating to mitigation measures when there are significant impacts identified in the EIR.

A. As the General Plan amendment and rezo ning is a policy document, outside of looking at alternatives, there were no changes or alterations identified in the EIR that could be made that would avoi d or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects identified in the EIR.

B. There are no changes or alterations t hat are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency that would lessen environmental impacts. As new regulations are adopted by state and loca l agencies, they will be applied to each development project.

C. The City Council finds that the topics listed in Section 8.0 of the EI R of Effects Found Not to Be Significant did not require any further analysis.

D. The impacts that are anal yzed in the EIR are discussed in detail in Sections 5.1 through 5.16 and summarized in Section 1.0, Executive Summary, of the Draft EIR and identified therein as less t han significant, less than signifi cant after mitigation, and significant even after mitigation (See Table 1-5). The following subsections E and F are a summary of the mitigation measures and im pacts which are all fully described in the EIR.

E. The EIR identifies the below topic areas as significant, but to be mitigated below a level of significance.

1. Under Cultural Resources, it wa s determined that the Project could cause a substantial adverse change in th e significance of both historical and archaeological resources. The impacts to hi storical resources will be reduced below a 9 level of significance by Mitigation Measure CUL-1 which requires a historic resource technical study prepared for buildings more than 45 years old by a qualified architectural historian and the implementation of recommendations from such study. The impacts to archaeological resources will be mitigated below a level of significance by Mitigation Measure CUL-2 which requires either a tec hnical resources assessment by a qualified archaeologist or full-time monitoring by an archaeologist and a Native American monitor.

When resources are known or reasonably anticipated, a mitigation plan is required.

2. Under Geology and Soils it was determined that the Project could destroy a unique paleontological resource, site, or unique geologic feature. The impacts will be mitigated below a level of significa nce by Mitigation Measure GEO-1, which requires a paleontological assessment or monitoring excavations below five feet. When resources are known or reasonably anticipated, a mitigation plan is required.

3. Under Noise, it was determined that the Project could result in the generation of noise and groundborne vibrations in excess of standards. The noise impact will be mitigated below a level of significance by Mitigation Measure NOI-1 which requires a site-specific noise study for any parcel wit hin 500 feet of a s ensitive use. The groundborne vibration impact will be mitigated below a level of significance by Mitigation Measure NOI-2 which requires vibration impact study and a mitigation plan for projects using pile drivers within 200 feet of existing buildings or vibratory rollers within 50 feet of existing buildings.

F. The EIR identifies the fo llowing topic areas as being significant and unavoidable.

1. Under Air Quality, the Projec t will conflict with the applicable air quality plan and result in cumulative air im pacts relating to pollutants. Mitigation Measures AQ-1 through AQ-7 will reduce these impacts, but not below a level of significance. The measures are summariz ed as follows: AQ-1 – requires dust control measures; AQ-2 requires Tier 4 construction equipment; AQ-3 requires low VOC paints; AQ-4 requires electric construction equipment if available; AQ-5 requires alternative fueled construction equipment; AQ-6 requires construction equipment to be maintained; and AQ-7 requires construction vehicles to be maintained. Even with these mitigation measures in place, there will be significant impacts with regard to inconsistency with the AQMP relating to both construction emissions/air quality standards and the exceedance of the AQMP’s growth projection assumption. Both of these impacts remain significant and unavoidable under a cumulative analysis as well.

2. Under Public Services/Parks, th e Project will result in significant impacts to parks and recreational facilities, including under a cumulative analysis. There are no mitigation measures that are available to lessen this impact.

G. There are no mitigation measures which we re identified as infeasible. All identified mitigation measures are included in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program attached hereto as Exhibit E. The City Counc il hereby adopts the Mitigation Monitoring 10 and Reporting Program. Each mitigation meas ure shall be placed as a condition of approval on all future development projects in the City as applicable.

SECTION 10. CEQA Findings – Alternatives.

Section 15091 of the CEQA Guidelines also requires that findings be made regarding alternatives in addition to mitigation measur es when there are significant impacts which have been identified in the EI R. The EIR is required to identify the environmentally superior project and make findings why such alternative is not adopted. The EIR examined three alternatives to the Project. The Alternatives are discussed in detail in Chapter 7 of the EIR and summarized in Chapter 1. The purpose of looking at alternatives is to try and avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the Project while still attaining most of the basic objectives. As discussed in Section 9 above, the only impacts of the Project that could not be reduced to a less t han significant level are air quality impacts and impacts to parks and recreational facilities. There was no identified alternative which eliminated all significant environmental effects.

A. Alternative 1 is the No Project/Exi sting General Plan Alternative which would involve a recission of the previously approved changes to the Inventory Sites.

While this alternative would eliminate t he air quality impacts, there would still be a significant and unavoidable impact on parks and recreation, although less of one, as the City already has a deficiency in park space. However, this Alternative fails to meet the fundamental objectives of the project of implementing the Housing Element programs for Inventory Sites, creating consistency bet ween the General Plan and zoning, preserving multi-family lots for higher density, providing opportunities for a mix of housing at varying densities, providing opportunities to align housing production with sustainability goals, and eliminating split zoning. Moreover, this Alternative places the Land Use Plan and zoning in direct opposition to the City’s Housing Element and places the City at risk for projects to be developed under the Builder’s Remedy as well as would create legal issues and open the City up to litigatio n regarding its Housing Elem ent. Additionally, HCD’s approval of the 6th Cycle Housing Element would no longer be valid.

B. Alternative 2 is the In ventory Sites Only Alternative which would constitute simply leaving the previous changes made in February 2023 to the Land Use Plan and the zoning in place without any additional changes . This alternative would still result in significant and unavoidable air quality impacts and impacts to parks and recreation. This alternative would meet some, but not all of the objectives as it would not provide as great a mix of housing at varying densities, provi de as much opportunity to align housing with local sustainability goals, or eliminate split zoning and consistency with the General Plan and zoning. While the EIR did not identify this Alternative as the environmentally superior alternative, the City Council finds that as compared to the proposed project and Alternative 3, this project would have fewer impacts in the areas of air quality and public services with regard to parks and recreation – the two areas which were significant and 11 unavoidable in the proposed projec t and Alternative 3. Additi onally, Alternative 2 would have fewer impacts in the areas which did not have unavoidable and significant impacts, including energy, geology and soils, noise, and utilities and service syst ems. This is based on the analysis set forth in the Alternativ es section of the EIR and due to the fact that Alternative 2 would have less residential growth and development of new housing.

C. Alternative 3 is a Reduced Density Alternative which would include fewer Non-Inventory Sites than the proposed project. This alternative would also still have significant and unavoidable impacts relating to air quality as identified above and impacts to parks and recreation. The EIR identified this alternat ive as the environmentally superior alternative because it would provide a greater mix of housing and better achieve local sustainability goals.

D. Based on the above, the City Counc il finds that Alte rnative 2 is the environmentally superior project. While bot h Alternatives 2 and 3 reduce impacts from the proposed project in various areas, Alternative 2 provides the greater reduction in the two areas that were significant and unavoi dable – air quality impacts relating to consistency with the AQMP and the exc eedance of the AQMP’s population growth assumptions and associated air emissions and impacts on parks and recreation.

E. The City Council has approved Modified Alternative 2 as described above.

The only difference between this Alternative and Al ternative 2 set forth in the EIR is that not all split zoned properties are eliminated and the City is not revising zoning based on existing uses and densities. These minor changes do not change the environmental impact analysis.

F. Even if Alternative 3 were the environmentally superior alternative, the City Council finds this Alternative to be infeasible based on social considerations. Gardena should remain a balanced community that is predominantly single-family residential. The existing and planned development patterns in lower density-zoned areas should be protected to the extent feasib le while providing adequate In ventory Sites to satisfy the City’s RHNA allocation. This could not be accomplished by Alternative 3 for the following reasons:

1. Alternative 3 would more than double the number of parcels which would be available for housing by adding an additional 672 Non-Inventory Parcels.

2. Alternative 3 will allow the elim ination of 146 single-family home developments while adding a total of 7,436 multi-family units.

3. Alternative 3 will allow the elim ination of 6,087,399 square feet of non-residential development along important corridors in the City, thereby eliminating the opportunity to provide important goods and services to the community.

12 SECTION 11. CEQA Findings – Statement of Overriding Considerations.

Under CEQA Guidelines section 15093, when a project has significant and unavoidable impacts, the lead agency is re quired to balance the benefit s of the project against unavoidable environmental risks. The City Council hereby finds the environmental impacts of Modified Alternative 2 are outweighed by the benefits based on the following.

Each and every reason constitutes a separate and independent grounds for approval.

A. There are no alternatives which elimi nate every significant impact. Modified Alternative 2 provides the greatest reduction to the signi ficant and unavoidable impacts identified in the EIR.

B. In order to maintain the approval of the City’s 6
th Cycle Housing Element by HCD,
the City must maintain the rezoning and overlays on the Inventory Sites as set forth in the Housing Element and as implemented by Resolution No. 6619 and Ordinance No. 1848.

Modified Alternative 2 accomplishes this. Eliminating any of the Inventory Sites identified in the Housing Element could lead to such things as: an invalidation of the Housing Element; an application of the Builder’s Remedy in Gardena; and a loss of grant funding.

SECTION 12. CEQA Findings - Custodian of Record.

Each and every one of the findings and determinat ions in this Ordinance are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and writt en, contained in the entire record relating to the Project. All summaries of information in the findings which precede this section are based on the entire record. T he absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

The documents and materials that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings and approval are based are located in the Community Development Department at City Hall, 1700 W. 162nd Street, Gardena, California 90247. The Custodian of Records is Greg Tsujiuchi, Community Developmen t Director who can be reached at 310/217- 9546 or [email protected].

SECTION 13. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect on the thirty-first day after passage.

SECTION 14. Severability. If any section, subsecti on, 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 t hereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivisi on, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fa ct that any one or more sect ion, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase be declared unconstitutional.

AGENDA REPORT SUMMARY
Agenda Item No. 15.A
Section: DEPARTMENTAL

ITEMS - POLICE
Meeting Date: July 23, 2024

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

Approval of New Duty Weapon and Red Dot Aiming System for Police Department at a Cost Not to Exceed $128,452.28.

COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:

Staff Recommendation: Authorize Purchase
RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

Staff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of one hundred (100) new duty weapons, one hundred (100) holsters, and one hundred (100) red dot sighting systems for the Police Department sworn personnel. The current Glock duty weapons have been in service for over 11 years and require a major service overhaul and/or replacement.

Even after the service, the current Glock G21 is technologically outdated, and newer technology has surpassed its performance and ergonomic capabilities.

In May of 2013, the Police Department transitioned to the Glock G21 for duty use. In many ways it was superior to the weapon it replaced. Today, there are many manufacturers that produce weapon platforms that are vastly superior to the Glock G21 issued today. Through a rigorous testing process, Staff has identified a new replacement weapon for the Glock G21, the Springfield Armory Echelon. The Echelon is a 9mm caliber handgun that is modular in design and accepts a red dot aiming system. The modular design also makes it adaptable for the future and will extend its service life.

The Echelon has been adopted by several large police agencies as their issued handgun, such as Rialto Police Department and Henderson Police Department. It has also been authorized for carry by a multitude of large agencies including the Riverside Sheriff’s Department. The reviews of the use of the Echelon have been exemplary.

The new holster that will complement the Echelon is the Safariland Level III Retention Holster with red dot optic protection. This holster is more secure and modern than the existing holsters in use.

Moreover, the Echelon is modularly adaptable, in the fact that the grip module has three different sizes, interchangeable to fit the hand of the operator. When a firearm fits the operator, it creates confidence and increases accuracy.

Lastly, the addition of a red dot sighting system will benefit our officers immensely. The key features are higher confidence with long range engagements and improved hit percentages (40% more accurate compared to iron sights). Perhaps the most beneficial factor is it assists the operator to stay target focused. Real life situations are incredibly stressful, with an abundance of visual information to process. Red dot sighting systems simplify the process and help the operator stay focused on the threat. The red dot sighting systems also work better for aging eyes and for people with corrective vision.

Staff evaluated the feasibility of refurbishing the current Glock G21 duty weapons and found that the cost to benefit was not fiscally viable. Therefore, Staff received quotes from three vendors:

Arms Unlimited
Proforce
Springfield Armory/LC Action

In addition to Arms Unlimited providing the lowest price, the Gardena Police Department currently has credit to apply to the purchase
.

The credit amount is approximately $18,000.00
for equipment, with an additional credit for old Glock G21 gun trade-ins, which is estimated to be approximately $30,856.00.

The quote from Arms Unlimited is for a total of $116,510 but sales tax is not included in that amount. Therefore, we have added the Gardena sales tax rate of 10.25% ($11,942.28) to the cost of this purchase which the City will remit to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) at the end of the calendar year.

Assembly Bill 28 will not impact Department purchases with the 11% tax.

Therefore, Staff respectfully recommends the purchase from Arms Unlimited for one hundred (100) new duty weapons (Springfield Armory Echelon), one hundred (100) holsters, and one hundred (100) red dot sighting systems for the Police Department sworn personnel.

FINANCIAL IMPACT/COST:

Total Cost: $128,452.28

This total cost includes the purchase price ($116,510) plus the 10.25% sales tax ($11,942.28) to be remitted to CDTFA. It does not take into account the credit that Gardena Police Department expects to be able to apply to the purchase.

Meeting Date: July 23, 2024

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

Award Professional Services Contract for the Storm Drain Master Plan Project, JN 523, to Carollo Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $463,500.

COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED:

Staff Recommendations: Approve Professional Services Contract RECOMMENDATION AND STAFF SUMMARY:

The City of Gardena provides stormwater collection services across its 6.2 square mile boundary. The existing stormwater collection system is comprised of a network of concrete channels, swales, pipelines, and manholes, with over 11 miles of pipelines.

The overall goals of developing and implementing a Storm Drain Master Plan are to evaluate the existing condition of the storm drain system, ensure adequate capacity for effective water collection and transport, and identify and prepare Capital Improvement Program.

The project scope consists of data collection from plans, storm drain CCTV survey, hydraulic modeling for 10 and 100 year storm events, and a Capital Improvement Program for priority projects to repair or reconstruct deficient pipelines. Additionally, the project aims to develop a database of the City's collection system, including concrete channels, swales, underground pipelines, manholes and apply to GIS system.

In February 2024, the Department of Public Works released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Storm Drain Master Plan services and distributed it to engineering firms throughout California utilizing the Information Management System (IMS) platform, which specializes in government project notifications. Staff also contacted four regional consultants providing Storm Drain Master Plan services. In March 2024, one proposal was received from Carollo Engineers, Inc., the firm that recently completed our Sewer Master Plan.

Three staff members, the Director of Public Works, Principal Engineer, and Associate Engineer, evaluated the written proposal and determined the scope was too vast. A meeting was held to discuss reducing the scope of work. As a result, Carollo agreed to revise the scope of work and its fees from $892,000 to $463,500.

The Carollo Engineering, Inc. team has collectively completed more than 300 mater plan and hydraulic modeling projects, including the recent storm drain master plans for the cities of Pacifica, Los Banos and Tulare.

Founded in 1933, Carollo Engineering, Inc. is a full- service environmental engineering firm that has been exclusively providing water and wastewater services for 88 years across the United States. They have 48 offices nationwide and this project will be managed from their Los Angeles office. Based on the negotiated fees, their expertise, the number of master plans completed, and their references, Carollo Engineering is the reliable choice to award the contract, even with only a single proposal received.

Therefore, staff respectfully recommends that the City Council approve a Professional Services Contract, in a form approved by the City Attorney, to Carollo Engineers, Inc. for the Storm Drain Master Plan Project, JN 523 in the amount of $463,500 and additionally approve 10% contingency.

II. PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City is soliciting written proposals from Engineering firms to develop the City’s first Storm Drain Master Plan (SDMP) to identify, analyze, and prioritize the capital improvement needs of the City’s storm water management system to drastically reduce flood risks, enhance public safety, and protect the City’s assets.

III. SCOPE OF WORK
The Consultant shall furnish all services as required in order to prepare a comprehensive SDMP. The City will be adopting the SDMP and use it as the guide to establish policies, funding levels, identify capital improvement projects (CIPs), and allocate resources to operations and maintenance. The Consultant shall research and collect all data necessary to complete the SDMP. The Scope of Work described herein is the minimum necessary to meet the City’s objectives.

The Consultant may propose modifications to the individual tasks listed below or the entire Scope of Work with innovative and advanced methodologies to produce a cost-efficient SDMP that the City may not have specifically identified in the scope of services. These proposed additions shall be identified as optional items and priced out separately. The Scope of Work may be modified through negotiation and/or by written addendum issued by the City and will become a part of any contract or agreement between the City and the selected Proposer. The SDMP, at a minimum, will include flow monitoring, system condition assessment, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, model calibration and verification, peak flow attenuation, potential future pumping needs, evaluate optio ns for pure gravity flow operations, climate change impacts, and development of a CIP to address these needs. A financial analysis plan is also required to determine and justify funding strategies and operation and maintenance needs. The Consultant shall carefully control costs and resources and complete assigned work on schedule.

The Consultant will be expected to coordinate with adjoining agencies to obtain necessary records information or to address any drainage boundary areas that may cross or out of the City’s drainage areas.

The Consultant shall assign a project manager who will be the City's primary contact, will be entirely responsible for the Consultant's work and sub-Consultant work, if applicable, and have authority to direct the Consultant's staff and sub-contractors to meet the City's needs. To ensure the project remains on track, the Consultant shall provide a monthly progress report, which shall include a brief status of completed work, work anticipated to be completed in the next reporting period, problems or obstacle s identified during the reporting period, and any other issues. The Consultant shall meet with City staff on a bi-weekly basis. The Consultant shall prepare a detailed report summarizing the entire drainage network and flood control network conditions and needs and present the draft SDMP to both the City staff and the City DocuSign Envelope ID: 91EF550D-5335-4354-AF15-A1B646BC6D7E

Council. The Consultant shall revise the draft report based on feedback received and prepare a final draft of the report.

Task 1: Project Management and Quality Control

The Consultant will prepare monthly status reports and invoices, and will closely monitor project budget, labor hours expended, and schedule on a monthly basis throughout the project. The monthly status reports will describe the work completed during the previous month, anticipated work for the following month, current budget and schedule status, and any project issues requiring discussion or resolution. The Consultant will attend scheduled meetings or workshops with the City's project manager and other Cit y staff as needed to discuss project progress and issues related to key project tasks. The first workshop will be a kickoff meeting to review the goals and objectives of the Master Plan, details of the work effort, and discuss how City staff would be involved in the project. It is envisioned that the kickoff meeting would involve both the Public Works Staff, as well as targeted staff of other City divisions (e.g., GIS, Plannin g, Maintenance) with the Consultant acting as facilitator to help focus the discus sion on the key issues and information needs for the Master Plan. Bi-Weekly virtual meetings with the project engineer to maintain project pace and goals and to resolve and track issues. The Consultant will perform internal quality assurance and quality control on all project work products. Quality control will include careful checking of data, calculations, and model results, as well as review of proposed criteria, recommendations, and key deliverables by the Consultant experts in storm system planning, evaluation, and design.
