5. CITY COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS
Councilmember Asatryan thanked staff for putting together a wonderful Glendale Tech Week. She had the opportunity to attend some of the events and was impressed by their turnout and caliber. Asatryan also attended the Glendale Historical Society's Gala at the Sanford House together with other council members. Also, she attended as a guest speaker, the Northwest Homeowner's Association event together with Mr. Golanian. She was pleasantly surprised to see the Planning Director, the City Attorney and Assistant City Manager who made themselves available to the residents. One of the issues that came up during the meeting was an issue that she had been thinking about for some time which is the need for a dog park in the northwest area of Glendale. Asatryan indicated that while there are a number of potential projects, City Council is waiting for a report back for a dog park in potential locations such as Lot 11, Palmer Park and other sites in South Glendale.

However, these locations do not serve the northwest neighborhood of Glendale.

Councilmembers Asatryan and Brotman visited Brand Park and noted that the southwest corner of the park might be a potential site for the dog park. Asatryan asked staff for a quick memo and a report on converting the SW part of the park, south of the Doctor’s house, to a dog park. City Manager Golanian asked for clarification on whether to bring the item back as a report or be included in the RFP for the other dog parks. Councilmember Asatryan noted that both a quick memo and report would work and it would be good to have it done soon 9 of 818

3 with just fencing and as part of the RFP for long term design. Brotman seconded.

Councilmember Devine congratulated staff for a successful Glendale Tech Week. She announced that it is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. She, together with the Mayor attended an award ceremony that Assemblymember Friedman held at Laura’s Corset Shoppe located along Brand Blvd. This shop has existed for 100 years. The shop provides service to patients and survivors of breast cancer. Devine attended the Burbank State of the City Luncheon and had learned about the City of Burbank Police Department’s drivers’ education program. She indicated that once our city has a new police chief, City Manager Roubik Golanian and staff will meet with Burbank PD and City Manager to see how the drivers’ education program works and how it could be implemented in Glendale. Devine indicated that GUSD Superintendent Dr. Ekchian and one of the GUSD Board Members are excited about the possibility of collaborating with the city to bring back a drivers’ education program in the future. Mayor Kassakhian seconded.

Councilmember Brotman re-nominated Sevana Zadorian for the Arts and Culture Commission.

Councilmember Najarian stated he was a speaker for the Valley Industry & Commerce Association Panel on the Future of Transportation and met with one of the principals of BYD, the bus company that will hopefully give the city an electric bus to test out. He spoke about the recent climate news and indicated that the almost 10-years of efforts by the state to reduce automobile and power plant emissions was wiped out in one summer as a result of fires in California. He asked staff to reassess the sustainability plan and bring this issue to the Sustainability Commission. He suggested that the city put more emphasis on wildfire suppression and asked staff for a report on how the city can address this issue. Asatryan seconded.

Mayor Kassakhian attended the Harvest Festival event in Pacific Park, One Glendale Flag Football Championship Game, the tour of Rockhaven Sanitarium with the Friends of Rockhaven, and Glendale Tech Week events. He announced that the movie “Gate to Heaven,” about Artsakh, is being shown at the AMC theatre at the Americana. Kassakhian attended the renaming of the Wilson Middle School gym after former principal Mr. Richard Lucas. He announced that Dia De Los Muertos event is coming up at the Glendale Central Library on November 5th and invited the public to attend. Kassakhian stated that Governor Newsom appointed former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa as the infrastructure advisor to lead the group of local leaders to find out how to take advantage of the funds that the federal government is allocating for infrastructure programs. Kassakhian asked staff to see if there is an opportunity for staff to work with neighboring cities on projects of common interests and to have a discussion on prioritizing infrastructure requests to be submitted to Mr. Villaraigosa’s office. Asatryan seconded. Kassakhian commented on the emails council received regarding street vendors and asked staff to provide a report on imposing certain regulations. Asatryan seconded.

Director of Community Development Bradley Calvert provided a brief update on the city’s housing element plan which will be agenized for the Housing Authority meeting in the upcoming weeks.

Mayor Kassakhian asked staff to have the first “Council in your Neighborhood” meeting to be held at the Rancho area to discuss the preservation of the character of the community due to the projects being developed around that area. City Manager Roubik Golanian stated 10 of 818

In past years, similar grant funds have been utilized by the Police Department to procure additional equipment and to reimburse the City for the salaries and benefits of part-time Forensic Biology staff.

ANALYSIS
In applying for the grant, the Verdugo Regional Crime Laboratory conducted a needs assessment and identified the equipment and materials required to fulfill the grant objectives to positively impact the laboratory’s ability to reduce turnaround time and increase sample capacity.

The assessment identified the need for increased staffing to perform DNA testing and analysis. The Forensic Biology Unit of the Verdugo Regional Crime Laboratory has hired an additional Criminalist I to assist in these functions. The 2022 DNA Capacity Enhancement and Backlog Reduction program funds will be used to pay for the salaries and benefits of the Criminalist I position assigned to the Forensic Biology Unit, equipment, maintenance contracts and training. The grant award period is from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Grant funds will be used to improve the quality and timeliness of forensic testing services provided to customer agencies and the public.

FISCAL IMPACT
The FY2022 DNA CEBR Program grant will cost $347,033, which was not included as part of the FY2022-23 approved budget. The grant does not require matching funds.

Therefore, staff is requesting for an appropriation of $347,033 from grant revenue. The appropriation request is outlined on the following page:

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Justice Programs, Request for Authorization to Accept Grant Funds in the amount of $16,333 to be used to Procure Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Equipment.

3. Resolution to Appropriate $16,333 in BJA FY2022 Local JAG Program Grant funds.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent
Approved for November 1, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Glendale Police Department requests acceptance of $16,333 in grant funds from the BJA FY2022 JAG Grant Program for the grant period of August 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024 to procure ALPR equipment.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the motion to authorize participation in the BJA FY2022 JAG Grant Program and accept funds in the amount of $16,333; adopt the resolution dispensing with competitive bidding, and authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an agreement with Flock Group, Inc. to procure ALPR equipment; and adopt the attached resolution of appropriation.

BACKGROUND
The Police Department has previously purchased and successfully implemented ALPR systems. ALPR technology consists of mounted cameras which digitally process photographs of license plates and queries those plates against multiple state and federal law enforcement databases. Sharing the information through the databases among agencies, or system interoperability, is a critical component in the success of the ALPR units as a force multiplier and one of the major reasons the Los Angeles County Police Chief’s Association (LAPCA) has strongly supported the acquisition of this technology through grant programs. The cameras connect to the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (NCIC) hot list and are Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) compliant.

Through these resources, the Police Department is able use hot plate alerts, create custom alerts, and search footage to access evidence to assist with ongoing investigations as over 70% of crime occurs with a vehicle.

The Glendale Police Department has adopted strict policies governing the use of the equipment and access to ALPR data. The images are not used to track the whereabouts of individuals or their vehicles or any occupants. The system can however be programmed to alert passing officers to the presence of a wanted vehicle. The license plate information is anonymous and is generalized in a data base that can later be searched with cause by plate number. The value of detecting wanted vehicles and suspects, as well as those on nationwide terrorism watch and want lists, by far outweigh concerns for collection of the anonymous data. The data is collected in open/plain public view and in public places with no expectation of privacy of one’s legally required license plate. By collecting this anonymous data (easily gathered by the average consumer with a smartphone or the police officer jotting it down on a pad), technology improves a process used by law enforcement agencies for decades by replacing the manual typing process to run license plates to an automated system that helps police immediately identify a criminal suspect's vehicle. The ALPR system has enabled law enforcement to capture innumerable wanted vehicles and suspects since its inception.

The Police Department implemented the use of Flock ALPR cameras in April 2020 and has been successful at recovering stolen vehicles and locating vehicles wanted in connection to robberies/burglaries using this technology. These cameras are solar powered, self-contained and can be mounted on power poles, light poles, or other fixtures. Although mounted, they can be easily relocated giving the Police Department and the community a valuable tool to address safety issues throughout the city. 22 of 818

ANALYSIS
Due to the Glendale Police Department’s success utilizing Flock ALPRs to locate vehicles connected to suspects wanted for property and violent crimes, including robberies and homicides, the Department submitted a grant application to the DOJ Office of Justice Programs for ALPR cameras. Flock ALPRs have many benefits specifically aimed to reduce property and violent crimes in the community. The equipment uses technology to read license plates and run them through NCIC Alerts, is CJIS compliant, and can be searched against NCIC Hot Lists. This technology is a force multiplier for real time proactive policing as well as a database for investigative leads. The three new Flock ALPR cameras to be procured with the grant funds will increase the number of readers to fifteen. The equipment will be positioned in strategic locations within our city borders to capture data that will be used to solve crimes.

The grant award period is from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 and the funds will be used to procure three cameras on a three-year subscription. The grant will cover the first two years. The third year, at the cost of $7,217, will be funded by the Glendale Police Department’s general fund.

• College Hills Association
• Royal Canyon Property Owner’s Association
• Chevy Oaks Homeowners Association
• Chevy Chase Estates Association

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure and Facilities: Improve accessibility, functionality, and reliability of park amenities. Improve 20-year old facility to current codes, regulations, energy efficiency and conservation.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Resolution adopting Specification No. 3853 for the Pacific Park Pool Shade Structure and Splashpad Project and directing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.

BACKGROUND
The Pacific Park and Edison Elementary School campus was completed in 2003 and was the first joint-use development project between the City and Glendale Unified School District. The 10.5-acre site includes a park, library, community center, and elementary school. The park includes a little league ballfield, picnic area, multi-purpose sports field, multi-purpose court, children’s play area, and an outdoor pool. The Community Center building hosts several recreational programs including extensive after school and educational programs, sports and arts enrichment classes, and youth and family services.

Due to its prime location and numerous amenities, the park is very popular and experiences heavy and constant use by the community; especially the swimming pool, playground, and water play feature areas during the summer months. These popular summertime areas currently lack shade elements. Pacific Park has a few mature and recently planted trees, however not many of those trees provide the necessary shade around the swimming pool and playground areas. In an ongoing effort to improve Glendale's parks and the health and safety of its patrons, staff proposes to strategically add new shade structures at two playground areas and the swimming pool deck area where families tend to congregate to watch events, swimming lessons, and open swim time. Currently, portable shade structures are provided at the swimming pool deck areas which congest the available deck space, need replacing every year, and do not provide optimal relief from the sun.

The existing Pacific Park splashpad feature has been a welcome and fun reprieve from the heat for many children for nearly 20 years and is now in need of replacement. Due to its extensive use and age, the feature has significant calcium buildup, corrosion, and requires valve replacement annually to repair leaks. The project will replace the existing splashpad water play feature including expanding it towards the playground area south/west of the existing water play feature. The new water play feature will increase the capacity, functionality, sustainability, and will include a water recycling system required by current regulations. The existing restrooms will also be renovated to comply with current ADA standards and to meet the demand at the park.

On August 20, 2019, City Council approved a Motion authorizing the City Manager to execute an Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with RJM Design Group, Inc., to include the design of additional features required by the Los Angeles County Health Department.

On January 11, 2021, the City of Glendale, Building & Safety, approved the mechanical, plumbing and electrical plans and on July 13, 2022 approved the final construction documents.

On February 9, 2022, the County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health, approved the construction documents.

The estimated construction duration is 8 months. The park’s pool usage will be impacted during construction as it operates 365 days per year. In addition, the Splashpad operates from approximately May to October of each year, so there will be some impact to usage during the improvements. Impacts to use will be minimized where possible by phasing and expediting work.

PERMITS FOR DEVELOPMENTS WITH NEW OR CONVERTED DRIVE-THROUGH

WAITING LANES IN THE CITY AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND DECLARE AS FOLLOWS:

WHEREAS, the California Constitution, the Glendale City Charter, and the State Planning and Zoning Law (California Government Code Sections 6500, et seq.) broadly empower the City of Glendale (“City”) to plan for and regulate the use of land in order to provide for orderly development, the public health, safety and welfare and a balancing of property rights and desires of the community; and
WHEREAS, concerns have been raised over the number of developments with uses and/or standards that include new and converted drive-through waiting lanes in all parts of the City; and
WHEREAS, residents, Councilmembers, and other stakeholders and individuals have expressed concerns that current zoning regulations may not fully address the impacts that drive-through waiting lanes may have in the community, and the effects of drive-through waiting lanes on the City's major streets; and WHEREAS, when drive-through waiting lines extend significantly on private property, the lines can create parking and circulation conflicts within the shopping centers where they are located and those lines can extend across sidewalks and into drive-way aprons, and even onto City streets, which can result in significant traffic hazards, including, but not limited to, unexpected stopping of vehicles, blind spots, unsafe lane changes to avoid lines on City streets, and hazards to pedestrians attempting to cross driveway aprons and streets impacted by lines of cars; and WHEREAS, the goal of any new drive-through waiting lane zoning standards, allowable uses and regulations is to develop comprehensive regulations which recognize and balance the various interests related to drive-through waiting lanes in a manner tailored to the City's unique needs and community vision, and which are supportive of more walkable and pedestrian friendly environments, and which reflect the land use and zoning policy choices of the City; and
WHEREAS, the Glendale Municipal Code contains the standards for the approval of drive-through waiting lanes and establishes the desired physical development requirements; and
37 of 818

2 6
8 0
8 WHEREAS, the development standards established for drive-through waiting lines are meant to allow development with drive-through waiting lanes in a logical and safe manner by accommodating patrons of drive-through waiting lanes on-site, thereby minimizing conflicts with multi-modal forms of transportation (walking, cycling, vehicular) in the use of City streets, alleys, bike lanes and sidewalks; and WHEREAS, the drive-through waiting lane development standards contained in Section 30.32.090 and accompanying Chart IX (Section 30.32.180) of the Glendale Municipal Code (“Parking and Loading – Parking Area Design and Layout Standards”) allows development projects that propose a drive-through waiting lane with the minimum dimensions and layout standards for an onsite vehicular waiting lane, including start of lane distances from service windows for restaurant uses and other uses, and from ordering devices, as well as a requirement for a separation lane from the onsite circulation to off-street parking spaces. These standards are intended to eliminate encounters of vehicles using the waiting lane versus vehicular access to off-street parking as well as, eliminate the spillover of waiting vehicles onto adjacent public-r-o-w’s or neighboring properties; and
WHEREAS, there are several current and future uses that are eligible and may propose new or converted drive-through waiting lanes Citywide, and there is one current development proposing a drive-through waiting lane using the drive-through waiting lane development standards that has received some level of discretionary review, Starbucks – 216-222 S Glendale and 611 Orange Grove (Return for Redesign); if developed, this would allow a 1,414 square-foot counter service restaurant with a drive-through waiting lane; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted an ordinance amending the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) to prohibit developments with drive-through waiting lanes in the DSP because such developments are contrary to the City’s goal of creating a pedestrian- friendly environment and encouraging residents to walk and bike in the DSP, and the City wishes to comprehensively study the benefits of such a prohibition Citywide; and WHEREAS, drive-through waiting lane developments utilizing current development standards are a permitted use in most all Commercial, Mixed-Use and Industrial Zones (currently prohibited in the DSP, and in the IMU-R and SFMU Zones for fast food restaurants only) and do not require any special conditional or other use permit; and
WHEREAS, the City is considering revising or eliminating the drive-through waiting lane development standards or amending the Glendale Municipal Code to require uses proposing drive-through waiting lanes to obtain a conditional use permit, or prohibit such use entirely; and
WHEREAS, maintaining the status quo with respect to drive-through waiting lanes in the City by assuring that no applications for developments that contain uses or standards with new or converted drive-through waiting lanes are accepted, processed or 38 of 818

3 6
8 0
8 approved, and no building permits for new or converted drive-through waiting lanes are issued while the City conducts a study on drive-through waiting lanes, is consistent with good planning; and
WHEREAS, until the drive-through waiting lane policy study is complete, and any new regulations are adopted, there is a significant risk that some individuals or entities may make investments in and/or obtain approval to develop new drive-through lanes that would soon thereafter be illegal, nonconforming, or subject to an amortization program; and
WHEREAS, during this process, the City will be thoroughly studying and examining the potential physical, social and environmental impacts of new and existing drive-through waiting lane developments in the City, the impact of the current design, development and other land use standards and requirements on such development, including, but not limited to, whether there is a need for additional drive-through waiting lane development in the City; and
WHEREAS, the potential exists that proposed or converted drive-through waiting lane development project applications are inconsistent and in conflict with any new or eliminated drive-through waiting lane development policies, zoning, or revised standards of property development may be filed during the term that the City is studying potential revisions to drive-through waiting lane development standards and/or uses; and WHEREAS, any approval of new or conversion of drive-through waiting lane development in the City has the potential to contravene future revised drive-through waiting lane design, development and entitlement standards and requirements, while such revisions are being studied, which will result in a threat to the health, safety and general welfare of residents in the City; and
WHEREAS, on September 20 and 27, 2022, the City evaluated the potential environmental effects of adoption of Interim Ordinance No. 5994 temporarily prohibiting approval of new or conversion of drive-through waiting lane development in the City within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and the Council found that the adoption of Interim Ordinance No. 5994 was consistent with classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment and thereby approved a Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), 15307, and 15308, and certified that Interim Ordinance No. 5994 was exempt from additional environmental review, including from the preparation of an environmental impact report; and
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2022, the City Council, by a fourth-fifths vote, adopted Interim Ordinance No. 5994 imposing a 45-day moratorium on the approval of any new or conversion of drive-through waiting lane development in the City; and WHEREAS, on October 25, 2022, the City issued a “10-day report” describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions that led to the adoption of Interim Ordinance 39 of 818

8 No. 5994 which date was at least 10 days prior to the adoption of this extension, as required by Government Code Section 65858(d); and
WHEREAS, in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare, it is now necessary for the City to undertake action to review and revise applicable provisions of the Glendale Municipal Code in order to provide for the reexamination within a reasonable time, of drive-through waiting lane design, development and entitlement standards and requirements in the City; and
WHEREAS, Government Code Section 65858 provides that a city council may adopt by a four-fifths vote as an urgency measure an interim ordinance prohibiting any uses or development standards that may be in conflict with a general plan or zoning measure that the city is considering or studying, or intends to study within a reasonable time, for 45 days, and may extend such moratorium following notice and public hearing for an additional 10 months and 15 days; and
WHEREAS, the moratorium and extension of Interim Ordinance No. 5994 on new or conversion of existing drive-through waiting lane development for any project will prevent changes to the existing physical environment within the city, and therefore, will not result in significant environmental impacts under CEQA, which are made in comparison to existing physical conditions (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15125(a) and 15126.2(a)); and
WHEREAS, notice of the date, time and place of the public hearing for this Ordinance to extend Interim Ordinance No. 5994 for 10 months and 15 days was given pursuant to Government Code Sections 65090 and 65858, by publication in Glendale Independent on October 10, 2022, and by posting and making available the written report referenced herein, which notified the public the City would be considering a 10 month and 15 day extension of the adopted Interim Ordinance No. 5994 imposing a moratorium on all new or conversion of existing drive-through waiting lane development for any project, together with issuance of a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of Interim Ordinance No. 5994.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Findings.

The City Council finds, determines, and declares that:

1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full.

2. The City’s Community Development Department staff have fully evaluated the potential environmental effects of adoption of this Interim Ordinance temporarily barring development projects with drive-through waiting lanes and conversion of exiting 40 of 818

5 6
8 0
8 drive-through waiting lanes from changing establishments within the City of Glendale within the meaning of and pursuant to CEQA, and the City Council finds that this action is consistent with classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment and thereby approves a Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3), 15307, and 15308, and certifies that this Interim Ordinance is exempt from the requirement of further environmental review or the preparation of an environmental document.

3. The City has an overriding interest in planning and regulating development projects within the City. Implicit in any plan or regulation is the City’s interest in maintaining the quality of urban life and the character of the City’s neighborhoods.

4. Without stable, well-planned neighborhoods, areas of the City can quickly deteriorate, with negative consequences to social, environmental, and economic values.

5. The City has adopted a General Plan and various specific plans, to ensure a well-planned and safe community.

6. The City Council has amended the DSP to prohibit developments that contain drive-through waiting lanes in the DSP because such developments are contrary to the City’s goal of encouraging pedestrian activity and alternative modes of transportation such as bicycle riding and public transportation, and wishes to comprehensively study whether such a prohibition should also be enacted Citywide.

7. The City finds that the potential exists that drive-through waiting lane project applications inconsistent and in conflict with any new or eliminated drive-through waiting lane and development policies, zoning, incentives, impact fees or revised standards of property development may be filed during the term that the City is studying potential revisions to drive-through waiting lane, development standards, and conditional use permit requirements, and that any approval of development uses that include new or converted drive-through waiting lanes have the potential to contravene future revised or eliminated drive-through waiting lanes and development standards while such standards are being studied, which will result in a threat to the public health, safety and general welfare of residents in the City.

SECTION 2. Moratorium.

1. There is hereby imposed a 10 month and 15 day extension of Interim Ordinance No. 5994 on the approval of any land use entitlement(s) and/or permits under the Glendale Municipal Code for development projects which contain new, or conversion of existing, drive-through waiting lanes, defined as any project that proposes the development of a “drive-through waiting lane”, as defined in Glendale Municipal Code section 30.32.090 (“Drive-through Waiting Lane Project”) within the City of Glendale.

2. It is the intent of the City Council that any proposal for a Drive-through Waiting Lane Project within the City during the period of the moratorium shall be 41 of 818

6 6
8 0
8 considered inconsistent with this Ordinance and with the City’s land use policies and zoning regulations for all purposes, and by all agencies charged with reviewing any application for such development.

3. City staff is directed to undertake a comprehensive study, as described above, and recommend new or amended policies, zoning or development standards, with respect to drive-through waiting lane developments in the City for consideration by the City Council.

4. Violations of this interim moratorium may be charged as a misdemeanor as set forth in Glendale Municipal Code Section 1.20.010, may be the subject of administrative code enforcement remedies as set forth in Chapter 1.24 of the Glendale Municipal Code, or may be deemed a public nuisance and may be enforced by an action for injunction or civil penalties as provided in the Glendale Municipal Code, or by any other remedy authorized by law.

5. The Glendale City Manager is hereby authorized to direct all City Departments, including the Community Development Department, the Police Department, and City Attorney, to facilitate compliance with the purpose and intent of this Interim Ordinance using the enforcement powers described in the preceding paragraph.

SECTION 3. Urgency.

By the City Council’s making the findings and determinations of fact which the Council declares to constitute an urgency for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety or welfare, the City Council hereby declares that this Ordinance is an urgency measure pursuant to City of Glendale Charter Article 6, Section 7 and Government Code Section 65858, which becomes effective immediately upon adoption by an affirmative vote of at least four-fifths (4/5ths) of the members of the City Council.

SECTION 4. Severability.

This Ordinance’s provisions are severable. If any portion of this Ordinance or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid or unconstitutional, that decision does not affect the validity of the Ordinance’s remaining portions and the Ordinance’s application to other persons and circumstances. The City Council declares that it would have passed the remainder of this Ordinance without the invalid or unconstitutional provision.

SECTION 5. Adoption and Incorporation.

The findings and information contained in the City Council staff reports dated September 20 and 27 2022, and October 25, 2022, are hereby adopted and incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Extension of Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 5994 Prohibiting Developments with New and Conversion of Existing Drive-through Waiting Lanes Citywide

1. Adoption of Ordinance Extending, for an Additional 10 Months and 15 Days, Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 5994 Prohibiting Developments with New and Conversion of Existing Drive-through Waiting Lanes Citywide

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Public Hearing
Approved for November 1, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On September 27, 2022, Council adopted an interim urgency ordinance imposing a 45- day moratorium on the approval of any developments with new and conversion of existing drive-through waiting lanes throughout the City, with no exemptions for projects that had received some level of discretionary review (return for redesign from the Design Review Board) prior to the effective date of the ordinance. Previously, on September 20, 2022, Council adopted a motion directing staff to engage in a policy analysis to be executed in 2023 to study drive-through waiting lane impacts and demand, and potential modifications to the development standards applicable to drive-through waiting lane proposals. The moratorium on drive-through waiting lane projects was necessary in order to put a pause on such applications to allow time for the City to undertake and complete such a study and make recommendations to Council for potential amendments to the Zoning Code. A report is attached as an exhibit to this staff report detailing the actions that have been taken thus far to alleviate conditions leading to imposition of the moratorium, as required by law. The ordinance adopted on September 27 expires on November 11, 2022, unless extended by Council following a noticed public hearing. Such hearing was noticed for October 25, 2022; after the hearing is conducted, Council may introduce the ordinance to extend the moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days beyond its initial expiration. If introduced, Council must vote on whether to adopt the ordinance at the next meeting of November 1, 2022. Council may thereafter extend the moratorium for one additional year. Any extension of an interim ordinance requires a 4/5ths vote of Council. 44 of 818

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure and Mobility/Connectivity/Safety: The moratorium is consistent Council’s desire to have a well-planned and comprehensive transportation system that is a safe, efficient and well-coordinated multi-modal circulation system that focuses on enhancing roadway safety through effective engineering, enforcement and education to the public.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the ordinance, extending, for 10 months and 15 days, Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 5994 adopted on September 27, 2022, related to a moratorium on new and conversion of existing drive-through waiting lanes.

BACKGROUND
On September 20, 2022, Council directed staff to undertake a study seeking to understand potential physical, social and environmental impacts of new and existing drive-through waiting lane developments in the City by type (i.e., fast food, banks, pharmacies, etc.), the impact of the current design, development and other land use standards and requirements on such development, including, but not limited to, whether there is a need for additional types of drive-through waiting lane development (such as fast food restaurant drive-throughs) in the City. As a result of initiating such a study, which may lead to amended Zoning Code development standards in the future, on September 20, 2022, the Council introduced and subsequently, on September 27, 2022, adopted, an interim urgency ordinance to prohibit new and existing drive-through waiting lane developments citywide. Council elected to not to exempt certain pipeline projects from the effects of the ordinance – those that received a return for redesign determination from the Design Review Board, prior to the effective date of the ordinance. The interim ordinance adopted on September 27 is only effective for 45 days by law, and automatically expires on November 11, 2022, but can be extended twice after notice and public hearing – once for an additional 10 months and 15 days, and once more for an additional year.

If Council extends the moratorium for an additional 10 months and 15 days, during the extended moratorium period, Planning staff will continue to take all necessary steps to commence the drive-through waiting lane study, and return to Council with a report and findings once the study is completed, for Council consideration. It is important to note that even if Council does not vote to extend the moratorium, Planning staff will nonetheless continue to undertake the Council’s directive to undertake the study regarding drive-through waiting lane use/development standards.

ANALYSIS
Under California Government Code section 65858, a city may adopt an interim ordinance to temporarily prohibit certain land uses that may be in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, or zoning proposal that the city council is considering or intends to study within a reasonable time. The purpose of such an interim ordinance is to give the City time to maintain the status quo and prohibit the issuance of entitlements or permits that would be in conflict with new contemplated standards. The rationale for 45 of 818

37a
3 6
9 8
an urgency ordinance that takes immediate effect is to prevent a “rush to the counter” of applications to establish new uses before standards can be put in place. The delay in permits allows the city to subject all new uses to the new standards.

Urgency interim ordinances under Government Code section 65858 require adoption by 4/5ths vote of the Council and expire within 45 days, unless extended in the manner described below. An urgency ordinance may only be adopted if the Council finds that there is a current and immediate threat to the public health, safety and welfare, and that the approval of additional entitlements, permits and other approvals would result in a threat to that public health, safety or welfare. On September 27, 2022, the Council adopted Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 5994, with the required findings, that imposed a 45-day moratorium on new and conversion of existing drive-through waiting lanes development projects citywide. This ordinance automatically expires on November 11, 2022, unless extended prior to that date. At least ten days prior to the expiration of the ordinance or any extension thereof (by November 1, 2022), the City must prepare and issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the condition which led to the adoption of the ordinance. As required by law, this ten-day report has been prepared and is attached as an exhibit to this staff report for Council’s review, consideration and comment.

Ordinance No. 5994 may be extended for a period not to exceed 10 months and 15 days following a noticed public hearing. A public hearing has been noticed for October 25, 2022, and after the hearing is conducted, Council may introduce the ordinance to extend the moratorium. If introduced, the Council must vote on whether to adopt the ordinance at the next Council meeting of November 1, 2022. The Council may thereafter extend the moratorium for one additional year. Any extension of an interim ordinance also requires a 4/5ths vote of the Council.

An ordinance extending Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 5994 an additional 10 months and 15 days has been included for introduction, which may occur following the public hearing. The ordinance contains no “pipeline provision” as Interim Urgency Ordinance No. 5994, but Council may introduce this extension ordinance with different, additional or revised exemptions.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Stakeholder and public outreach would be conducted during any policy studies regarding the demand and effect of new or conversion of existing drive-through waiting lane standards and/or processes. This includes any businesses that would be impacted by this change, as well as residents and adjacent neighborhoods to understand impacts to quality of life.

FISCAL IMPACT
The action of placing a moratorium on future drive-through waiting lanes has no direct costs or financial benefits associated with it. Indirectly, the City would not gain the sales tax and associated permit fees that would flow from future drive-through waiting lane developments.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Community Development Department staff have evaluated the potential environmental effects of adoption of the proposed Interim Ordinance temporarily barring new or conversion of existing drive-through waiting lanes within the City of Glendale within the meaning of and pursuant to CEQA, and have concluded that this action is consistent with classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment, and thereby qualify for a Categorical Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3), 15307, and 15308; the action is therefore exempt from further environmental review or the preparation of an environmental document.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.

ALTERNATIVES

1. Introduce and subsequently adopt an ordinance extending, for 10 months and 15 days, a moratorium on all development projects containing new or conversion of existing drive-through waiting lanes citywide;

2. Decline to introduce an ordinance extending, for 10 months and 15 days, a moratorium on all development projects containing a new or conversion of existing drive-through waiting lanes citywide;

3. Choose any other alternative not proposed by staff.

Report on Actions Taken to Alleviate Conditions Leading to the Imposition of a Moratorium on New and Conversion of Existing Drive-through Waiting Lanes in the City:

On September 27, 2022, the City of Glendale enacted a Moratorium prohibiting approval of any developments with new and conversion of existing drive-through waiting lanes throughout the City by Interim Urgency Interim Ordinance No. 5994. The Moratorium was enacted for an initial period of 45 days and the City Council will consider an action to extend the Moratorium for up to 10 months and 15 days at a duly noticed Public Hearing on October 25, 2022.

This report provides all interested parties information on actions taken by the City of Glendale to alleviate the conditions leading to the imposition of the Moratorium.

Pursuant to law, this report is being made available at least 10 days prior to the City taking action on extending the Moratorium.

1. Staff has created different alternatives to study regarding the future of drive- through waiting lanes in the City. These alternatives will define the work plan during the moratorium. Staff has identified the following alternatives:

A) Policy Analysis. The analysis will provide an opportunity to evaluate the potential physical, social and environmental impacts of new and existing drive-through waiting lane developments in the City by type (i.e., fast food, banks, pharmacies, etc.), as well as, the demand of existing and future needs of drive-through waiting lanes in the City. This study will consider the impacts and need for different drive-through waiting lane types associated with different uses. It will also analyze the current Zoning Code development standards and recommend amendments to standards based on current drive- through waiting lane trends, as well as study appropriate locations in specific zoning districts. This analysis will also consider the impacts drive-through waiting lanes have on disabled access to goods and services and how potential changes to drive-through waiting lanes standards may have on disabled access.

B) Conditional Use Permit. Staff will also study the potential of drive-through waiting lanes in the City to be required to obtain a conditional use permit. A conditional use permit will require that specific findings be made regarding the compatibility of drive-through waiting lanes use in the City and may also require that specific conditions be met to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses and tailored to City’s unique needs and community vision.

Staff will analyze the impacts of requiring a conditional use permit, including potential special conditions that could be required.

C) Prohibited Use. Staff will study an alternative that would consider prohibiting types of drive-through waiting lanes in the City. This alternative will be developed based on the findings of the proposed policy analysis, and will identify whether the use of certain types of drive-through waiting lanes is 56 of 818

necessary in the City and also present the potential impacts of prohibiting such types. During the period of the extended moratorium, staff will return to Council with updates on each of the potential alternatives, as well as a recommendation for future action.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Housing: Balanced, Quality Housing and the maintenance, preservation, and development of balanced housing opportunities.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt the ordinance approving the Statutory Development Agreement between the City of Glendale and Adelfia Properties II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

BACKGROUND
On June 14, 2022, the City Council approved the Stage II Final Design Review Submission and adopted a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment (SCEA) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Lucia Park Project located at 620 N. Brand Boulevard and 625 North Maryland Avenue.

The Lucia Park project site is 1.48 acres and is bordered by Brand Boulevard to the west, the 134 Freeway to the north, Maryland Avenue to the east, and a six-story commercial office building and surface parking lot to the south. The site is developed with a six-story office building (Chase Bank/CoIdwell Banker) and a two-story parking structure with an attached 12,156 square-foot commercial building.

The proposed project is a 294-unit, 24-story multi-family residential building that includes 373 subterranean parking spaces for the residential use and 129 above-ground spaces for the bank building and commercial use; a publicly accessible open space plaza fronting Brand Boulevard; and residential amenity spaces throughout the Project.

No changes are proposed to the commercial/bank building with the exception of applying for the building to be placed on the National Historic Register. The parking garage and attached commercial space would be demolished. No variances are required.

During the June 14, 2022 meeting the City Council introduced an ordinance for adoption of a development agreement for the Project. An ordinance requires two hearings: an introductory hearing followed by a second public hearing to consider adoption of the ordinance. The second public hearing for the DA was not put on a subsequent agenda and the City Council did not consider adoption of the DA ordinance. The DA is being brought to the City Council for consideration of adoption.

ANALYSIS
The DA preserves the Project entitlements for a six (6) year term (Exhibit 1). In addition, the DA locks in the current Development Impact Fees (impact and linkage fees, exactions, or fair share charges imposed on new development) including the Public Use 64 of 818

Facilities Development Impact Fee (GMC Section 4.10); Affordable Housing Development Impact Fee (GMC Section 4.11); and Inclusionary Housing Requirements (GMC Section 30.35.060). The DA incorporates the proposed Stage II Design, including the Public Accessible Open Space, and provides indemnification of the City, acknowledgements, agreements and assurances on the part of the Developer and the City.

The DA was requested by the applicant to preserve the Project’s entitlements to allow additional time for the continued financial instability resulting from the uneven economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic to resolve, and provide additional time to secure construction financing and subsequent preparation of construction documents, plan check and permitting.

On February 2, 2022, the DA was presented to the Planning Commission for review and Recommendation. The Planning Commission determined the DA is consistent with the City's General Plan and the DSP and recommended approval with one comment. The Planning Commission recommended that the applicant/owner reach out to the skilled labor groups/unions regarding local hiring for construction. See Exhibit 2 for Planning Commission’s Motion.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Code requires publication of public notices when the City Council considers approval of entitlements. Staff published all required notices in the Glendale Independent newspaper and mailed copies to all property owners and occupants with 500 feet of the project site for all public meetings and hearings, including the original City Council meeting, and the site was duly posted. CEQA noticing requirements for the SCEA were met as well.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with approval of the DA. However, to the extent the DA facilitates the Project’s development, the Project would have a fiscal impact consistent with other quality downtown residential projects including new property taxes, building permit/plan check fees, and potential increased sales tax by expanding the downtown residential base.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
On June 14, 2022, the City Council adopted a Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program in accordance with Public Resources Code Section 21155(b) that evaluated the potential environmental effects of the Project (“SCEA”), and determined the Project would not have a significant effect on the environment with implementation of the identified mitigating measures. The DA would lock-in the Project’s entitlements and would not modify or revise the Project, and thus 65 of 818

47b
3 7
5 4
would not create any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects in the SCEA.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
In accordance with Council direction pursuant to the adopted City Campaign Finance Ordinance, the names and business addresses of the members of the board of directors, the chairperson, CEO, COO, CFO, subcontractors and any person or entity with 10% interest or more in the company proposed for contract in this Agenda Item Report is attached as Exhibit 3.

ALTERNATIVES
Alternative 1: Approve the approving the DA. This Alternative would secure the Project’s current entitlements and fee structure for six years;
Alternative 2: Do not approve the Ordinance. This Alternative would cause the Project to lose its entitlements on June 14, 2024. Per GMC Section 30.41.015 the applicant could request a one-year time extension of the Project approvals if certain findings are met. Upon the expiration of the Project entitlements, the applicant would have to re-entitle a new project taking it through the complete City entitlement process including design review and CEQA.

Alternative 3: The City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

13. Compliance; Default; Termination; Modifications and Amendments.

(a) Review of C ompliance. During the term of this Agreement, the City shall review this Agreement on or before each anniversary of the Effective Date (“Periodic Review”) in order to determine whether Developer is in good faith compliance with any specific term or provisi on of this Agreement. At the commencement of each Periodic Review, the Director shall notify Developer in writing that the Periodic Review will commence or has commenced. The City shall notify Developer regarding any alleged non-compliance on the part of Developer.

Within thirty
(30) days after receipt of the Director’s notice that the Periodic Review will commence or has commenced (and unless Developer requests and is granted a waiver by the City), the City may request Developer to demonstrate good faith compliance with this Agreement.

(1) Non-Compliance/Default by Developer. In addition to the Periodic Review process set forth in this Section 13, in the event Developer does not perform its obligations under this Agreement in a timely manner, the City shall have those rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement.

(2) Notice of Non -Compliance/Default. With respect to any non - compliance/default under this Agreement, the City shall submit to Developer, by registered or 80 of 818

11 certified mail return receipt requested, a written notice of default in the manner prescribed in Section 20 herein, identifying with specificity those obligations of Developer, which have not been performed. Upon receipt of the notice of non -compliance/default, Developer shall promptly commence to cure the identified defaults(s) at the earliest reasonable time after receipt of the notice of default and shall complete the cure of such default(s) not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice of default, or such longer period as is reasonably necessary to remedy such default(s), provided that Developer shall continuously and diligently pursue such remedy at all times until such default(s) is cured. Pursuant to Section 19, Mortgagees may be entitled to notice of any default by Developer hereunder and an additional period on which to cure such default.

(3) Developer Failure to Cure Non-Compliance/Default Procedure. If, after the cure period has elapsed, the City finds and determines that (i) Developer has not demonstrated that it is in compliance with this Agreement, and (ii) Developer is out of compliance with a specific, substantive term or any provision of this Agreement, then the City shall first notify Developer in writing and then shall make a report to the City Council and set a public hearing before the City Council in accordance with the notice and hearing requirements of Government Code sections 65867 and 65868. If, after public hearing, the City Council finds and determines, on the basis of substantial evidence, that Developer has not cured the default pursuant to this Section, then the City may terminate or modify this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, non-performance by either Party shall be excused when it is delayed unavoidably and beyond the reasonable control of the Parties as a result of any of the events identified in Section 25 of this Agreement.

(b) Developer Default. Subject to the cure period set forth in this paragraph and Force Majeure (as defined herein in Section 25), and provided that Developer elects to commence Project construction, failure by Developer to construct, operate and maintain the Approved Project as required by this Agreement, and following notice and failure to cure as described hereafter, constitutes a “Default” under this Section of the Agreement, and entitles the City to institute legal actions pursuant to Section 13 or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the City shall not institute any proceeding against Developer and Developer shall not be in Default if within sixty (60) days from receipt of the notice required by this Section 13, Developer promptly and with due diligence, commences to cure, correct or remedy such failure or delay within such sixty (60) day period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion. In addition to any other remedies, the City has the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement if Developer fails to cure the Default.

(c) Institution of Legal Actions . In addition to any other rights or remedies and subject to the restrictions otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the City may institute an action at law or equity to seek specific performance of the terms of this Section 13 of the Agreement, or to cure, correct or remedy the Default, to collect on the Performance Bond as set forth in, and subject to the limitations of, the following subsection, or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purpose of this Agreement. Such legal actions must be instituted in the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, in an appropriate municipal court in that county, or in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

(d) Rights and Remedies Are Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the Parties are cumulative, and the exercise by either 81 of 818

12 party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise by it, at the same or different times, of any other rights or remedies for the same default or any other default by the other party. The right of the City to collect on the Performance Bond under a Developer Default shall be limited, whether in a single action or cumulatively, to an aggregate amount of the Performance Bond, plus reasonable attorneys’ fees, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the City shall not be entitled to consequential or punitive damages.

(e) Inaction Not a Waiver of Default . Any failures or delays by either P arty in asserting any of its rights and remedies as to any Default shall not operate as a waiver of any Default or of any such rights or remedies, or deprive either such party of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.

(f) Termination of Agreement . Subject to compliance with Government Code section 65868, the City may terminate this Agreement, after final determination of the City Council, on the basis of substantial evidence that Developer has not cured its Default within the applicable cure period. Following the transfer of the Property, or any portion thereof, to a permitted transferee, this Agreement may only be terminated with respect to the transferred parcel on account of a default by the owner of such transferred parcel, and no such default shall result in termination of this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Project Site retained by Developer.

(g) Non-Compliance/Default by the City . With respect to any non - compliance/default under this Agreement, Developer shall submit to the City, by registered or certified mail return receipt requested, a written notice of default in the manner prescribed in Section 20 herein, identifying with specificity those obligations of the City which have not been performed. Upon receipt of the notice of non- compliance/default, the City shall promptly commence to cure the identified defaults(s) at the earliest reasonable time after receipt of the notice of default and shall complete the cure of such default(s) not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice of default, or such longer period as is reasonably necessary to remedy such default(s), provided that the City shall continuously and diligently pursue such remedy at all times until such default(s) is cured.

(h) Modification or Amendment . Notwithstanding Section 11(a) herein above pertaining to Administrative Amendments, and subject to the notice and hearing requirements of the Development Agreement Statute, this Agreement may be modified or amended from time to time only with the written consent of Developer and the City or their successors and assigns in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Code and Government Code section 65868. As a condition precedent to the City's execution of any amendment of this Agreement, Developer shall deliver to the City a preliminary title report with respect to the portions of Developer's Property to be affected by such amendment, together with a no tice stating that the mortgagees listed in such report will be entitled to notice of and consent to such amendment pursuant to Section 20 of this Agreement.

13 provisions, extend time limits, make minor modifications to City design approvals, and/or revise this Agreement on behalf of the City so long as such actions do not conflict with the substantive provisions of this Agreement, substantially change the uses, floor area, or development permitted on the Project Site pursuant to the Scope of Development, or add to the City costs, or conflict with the Applicable Rules. All waivers of this Agreement shall comply with Section 23 of this Agreement. All amendments of this Agreement, other than those minor changes described in this Section 11(a), shall comply with Section 13(h) of this Agreement pertaining to Modifications or Amendments.

15. Term of Agreement.

Prior to expiration of the term of the Agreement, Developer shall obtain the required demolition, grading and building permits for the Approved Project and commence construction; provided, however, and for avoidance of doubt, Developer’s failure to obtain the required demolition, grading and building permits during the term of this Agreement shall not operate to extend this Agreement’s term. Following expiration or termination of the Term hereof, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no further force and effect. The Term shall be automatically extended by the number of days equal to the number of days that any Enforced Delay as defined in Section 25 was in effect. Notwithstanding this provision, Developer shall make its best efforts to diligently construct the Project in the minimum feasible timeframe.

16. Administration of Agreement and Resolution of Disputes . All disputes involving the enforcement, interpretation or administration of this Agreement shall first be subject to good faith negotiations between the Parties to resolve the dispute. In the event the dispute is not resolved by negotiations, the Parties shall be permitted to pursue any remedy provided for under this Agreement or otherwise available under applicable law or judicial decision, whether at law or in equity. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies available to any Party.

17. Injunctive Relief. Any Party to the dispute may, in addition to any other rights or remedies provided by this Agreement, seek to enjoin any threatened or attempted violation hereof, or enforce by specific performance the obligations and rights of the Parties hereto, except as otherwise provided herein.

(d) Cure Rights. Any Mortgagee who takes title to all of the Developer Property, or any part thereof, pursuant to foreclosure of the mortgage or deed of trust, or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Developer under this Agreement as to the Developer Property or portion thereof so acquired; provided, however, in no event shall such Mortgagee be liable for any defaul ts or monetary obligations of Developer arising prior to acquisition of title to the Property by such Mortgagee, except that any such Mortgagee shall not be entitled to a building permit or occupancy certificate until all delinquent and current fees and other monetary or nonmonetary obligations due under this Agreement for the Developer Property, or portion thereof acquired by such Mortgagee, have been satisfied.

(e) Bankruptcy.

84 of 818

15 (f) Disaffirmation. If this Agreement is terminated as to any portion of the Developer Property by reason of (i) any default or (ii) as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding, this Agreement is disaffirmed by a receiver, liquidator, or trustee for Developer or its property, the City, if requested by any Mortgagee, shall negotiate in good faith with such Mortgagee for a new development agreement for the Project as to such portion of the Developer Property with the most senior Mortgagee requesting such new agreement.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Software and Hardware Support Agreement with Minsait ACS, Inc. for Electric Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) System.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for November 1, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The current SCADA system, purchased from Minsait ACS, Inc., is used by GWP to operate the City’s electric system. The current SCADA system was selected through a competitive proposal process and commissioned in 2011, and has since been upgraded twice – the last upgrade being in 2020. The SCADA system was designed and configured as a custom SCADA system for GWP, thus, it requires continuous vendor maintenance and support by Minsait ACS Inc. to ensure proper operation.

The recommended Software and Hardware Support Agreement, including hours for “as needed” engineering support with Minsait ACS, Inc., will cost a total of $546,636 for three years with an option to extend for an additional two years for $390,626, for a total amount of $937,262.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure: The Support Agreement will help GWP to maintain a stable SCADA System for the system operators to provide safe, efficient, and reliable electric service to Glendale residents.

Environmental Stewardship: The SCADA Support Agreement will help GWP’s goal towards sustainable electric service via prompt fault location and subsequent quick service restoration.

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into a Support Agreement with Minsait ACS, Inc. to provide uninterrupted software and hardware support, maintenance, and “as needed” engineering support for a not-to-exceed amount of $546,636 for three years with an option to extend it for an additional two years for $390,626, for a total not-to-exceed amount of $937,262.

BACKGROUND
In 2007, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the design and configuration of custom SCADA system for the City and through a competitive process selected Advanced Control Systems, Inc. (ACS).

In 2008, the City entered into a contract with ACS to purchase the SCADA system.

The SCADA system comprised of Servers, Software, Node Terminal Units (NTU), Communication Network between NTUs and Servers, was commissioned in 2011.

In 2014, the Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a new support agreement with ACS for three years, as well as authorized the upgrade of the SCADA Servers.

In 2018, the Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with ACS for a total of five years to upgrade SCADA software to PRISIM 11, upgrade operating system to RedHat 7.0, install Inter-Control Center Communication Protocol (ICCP) links to control centers of Burbank Water and Power and L.A. Department of Water and Power, provide hardware and multiple on-site trainings as well as maintenance of the SCADA system. ACS completed all the said tasks and upgrades in 2020. In collaboration with the Water Section, GWP also upgraded both Electric and Water SCADA servers prior to software upgrades. Due to the pandemic restrictions, the staff trainings were conducted remotely and completed in 2021.

On March 4, 2022, ACS corporation had a name change to Minsait ACS, Inc.

ANALYSIS
The power system operators at the Energy Control Center (ECC) operate GWP’s electric system around the clock using the SCADA system. This system is used to continuously monitor, obtain and record the status, obtain system operational data, and remotely operate the City’s electric system. The SCADA system provides system alarms indicating when GWP is experiencing an outage. In the event of a power outage or other problems, the SCADA system notifies the system operators and identifies the location of the outage or problem within the system. The current system was designed and configured as a custom SCADA system for GWP, and it requires continuous maintenance and support by Minsait ACS, Inc. to ensure proper operation. Therefore, having an ongoing Support Agreement with Minsait ACS, Inc., is one of the critical operational necessities for GWP.

The Agreement will cover the following:
•Software updates, features and fixes
•Support from Helpdesk
•24 x 7 emergency help
•Security Patch Management - 25 nodes Quarterly
•Hardware Coverage - Minsait ACS, Inc. hardware only
•NTU Outstation support
•Training - Online; 1 complimentary course each year
GWP has been using ACS’ SCADA system for almost a decade now, and has grown familiar with the system in addition to a rapport with ACS technical support. Many services utilize SCADA such as the Outage Management System (OMS), data transfer via ICCP link to LADWP for regulatory compliance, and to Burbank for Magnolia Power Plant dynamic generation scheduling, the PI System (software for data collection, archiving and analysis), and switching optimization. In addition, there are many stakeholders that monitor and acquire data from SCADA including our energy traders, system operators, field technicians, power plant operators, and engineers.

Minsait ACS’ SCADA system is immersed and embedded in every aspect of GWP’s power system. As stated earlier, the SCADA applications, software and servers have been upgraded in 2020 and staff has completed multiple trainings in 2021. To identify and select another SCADA vendor by RFP process and, in turn, replace the existing SCADA system will be very expensive and time consuming. Utilizing a different SCADA system will require retraining of the staff, re-installing all the services (OMS, PI, ICCP, etc.) and installing new hardware at substations. For the above mentioned reasons, it is recommended that GWP continue to use Minsait ACS’s services.

Below is the cost breakdown analysis for the support agreement for five years.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA
REPORT TO THE : GLENDALE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Introduction and Adoption of 2023 Glendale Building and Safety Code

1. Ordinance for Introduction Adopting and Amending Specific Portions of the California Building Standards Code as the Glendale Building and Safety Code, 2023;

2. Resolution Adopting Findings and Analysis of Amendments to the California Building Standards Code [Title 24, California Code of Regulations].

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for November 1, 2022 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City Amendments
City amendments to the Building and Safety Code (Code) are essentially a carry-over from the previous Code with very few changes.

Regional efforts to standardize local codes have resulted in greater uniformity among neighboring cities. A small number of new amendments have been added and previous amendments removed or revised in Volume VI of the Fire Standards, in order to standardize our local codes to be in line with neighboring jurisdictions.

State Amendments
The new energy standards are incorporated. The green building code has upgraded requirements for the installation of EV charging stations in new buildings, additions and alterations to existing building.

National Amendment
This adoption will align engineering requirements in the Code with the major revisions to national standards.

COUNCIL PRIORITIES
Infrastructure: Adopting the Building and Safety Code of the City of Glendale, 2023 will ensure we maintain the current level of protection throughout the City of Glendale, which has been provided in the current Glendale and Building Safety Code.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council introduce and adopt the Building and Safety Code of the City of Glendale, 2023, along with a required resolution adopting findings and analysis of amendments.

BACKGROUND
Building and Safety Code
Every three years, the State of California adopts new model codes to establish uniform standards for the construction and maintenance of buildings, plumbing systems, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and fire and life safety systems. Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 18941.5, local jurisdictions are mandated to adopt such state codes, generally within 180 days after publication of the code by the California Building Standards Commission. Prior to adoption, amendments to the state codes desired by the local jurisdiction may be made if each amendment can be justified on the basis of a local climatic, local geological, and/or local topographical condition which affects the jurisdiction.

ANALYSIS
The Glendale Building and Safety Code is comprised of the following distinct volumes:

Volume IA: Building Standards (For Commercial and Multi-Family Residential) Volume IB: Residential Standards (For One-and-Two Family Dwellings and Townhouses)
Volume IC: Existing Building Standards
Volume II: Plumbing Standards
Volume III: Mechanical Standards
Volume IV: Electrical Standards
Volume V: Housing Standards
Volume VI: Fire Standards
Volume VII: Security Standards
Volume VIII: Commercial and Industrial Property Maintenance Standards Volume IX: Green Building Standards
The regulatory requirements contained within the first six volumes are based on requirements contained within the California Code of Regulations (CCR), specifically, 106 of 818

38b
3 6
8 2
portions of Titles 19, 24, and 25. The California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) adopted such requirements into the California Building Code, California Residential Code, California Existing Building Code, California Plumbing Code, California Mechanical Code, California Electrical Code, California Fire Code, and California Green Building Standards Code. Adoption and enforcement of the Uniform Housing Code is mandated through the State Housing Law (Health and Safety Code, Division 13, Part

1.5, Section 17960). The 1997 Edition of the Uniform Housing Code was adopted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development as provided for in CCR, Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 1, Subchapter 1, Article 5, Section 32.

Local adoption of such codes is mandated to be in effect on January 1, 2023, and requires a four-fifths (4/5th) approval of the City Council. As stated above, jurisdictional bodies may amend said codes if such amendments are justified on the basis of a local climatic, local geological or local topographical condition which makes such amendment(s) necessary.

Staff from the Community Development Department’s Building and Safety Division and the Fire Department have reviewed the state codes, and have proposed a number of local amendments for adoption as the Building and Safety Code of the City of Glendale, 2023, with proper justifications to be submitted to the California Building Standards Commission.

The Building Official has determined these amendments are necessary to maintain the current level of protection throughout the City of Glendale, which has been provided through in the current Glendale Building and Safety Code. In fact, the vast majority of the proposed amendments were carried over from the current code.

As a result, the proposed local amendments generally fall into four categories.

1. Administrative - to establish administrative regulations pertaining to the performance of plan check, the issuance of permits, the collection of fees, and other administrative standards.

2. Fire Safety - to increase the level of protection to building occupants through specific standards related to fire sprinklers, smoke detection and alarms, restriction of certain building materials, and construction standards for buildings located within high fire hazard areas.

3. Life Safety - to increase overall life safety through enhanced structural design, improved seismic design, modified egress standards, and limitation of building heights and/or building areas.
107 of 818

48b
3 6
8 2

4. Grading- to augment the basic grading standards contained within the model building code to more closely match currently enforced grading standards. Such amendments prescribe specific requirements related to cut slopes, fill slopes, retaining walls, and geotechnical investigations. The aesthetic grading standards contained within Title 15 of the G.M.C. will not be affected by the proposed amendments.

Staff recommends that the City Council review and introduce and subsequently adopt the ordinance, consisting of the local amendments to Title-24 C.C.R. herein described to maintain the current level of protection throughout the City of Glendale.

Staff also recommends that the City Council review and adopt the resolution establishing findings of fact that justify local amendments to Title-24 C.C.R. on the basis of specific local climatic, typographic and/or geologic conditions.

An initial draft of the ordinance known as the Building and Safety Code of the City of Glendale, 2023, was introduced publicly at the September 21, 2022 and October 19, 2022 meetings of the Building and Fire Board of Appeals for review and consideration.

As a result of these two meetings, the public was given an opportunity to make inquiries regarding the proposed amendments. As of the date of this writing, no such inquiries have been received. If any are provided prior to adoption, they will be provided to Council and addressed by the Building Official. On October 19, 2022, after reviewing the draft of the proposed ordinance with the proposed amendments, and after public discussion, the Building and Fire Board of Appeals unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the proposed ordinance accompanying this agenda item adopting the Building and Safety Code of the City of Glendale, 2023.

Before the second reading of the proposed ordinance, staff requests that the City Council adopt by resolution findings of fact (accompanying this item) which would justify the amendments to the California Building Standards Code. If adopted, copies of the ordinance and resolution will be submitted to the California Building Standards Commission as required by law.
