33 of 253

18 B. The director shall consider the following criteria, where applicable, in evaluating applications for issuance of permits required by this chapter:

1. Necessity to remove the protected indigenous tree because its continued existence at the location prevents the reasonable development of the subject property, as determined by the director;

2. The protected indigenous tree shows a substantial decline from a condition of normal health and vigor, and restoration, through appropriate and economically reasonable preservation procedures and practices, is not advisable;

3. Due to an existing and irreversible adverse condition of the tree, the protected indigenous tree is in danger of falling;

4. The presence of the protected indigenous tree interferes with, or is damaging to, utility services and roadways, walkways, foundations, drainage or other existing structures, within or without the subject property. The damage is beyond mitigation and the only reasonable alternative is the tree’s removal;

5. The topography of the land and the effect of protected indigenous tree removal on erosion, soil retention, and the diversion or increased flow of surface waters;

6. The number or location of protected indigenous trees existing on the site or in the neighborhood on surrounding property; and the effect of tree removal upon enjoyment of the residents, the general public, and on property values in the area; and

7. Good forestry practices (such as the necessity to remove diseased or dying protected indigenous trees due to overcrowded conditions), the effect of tree removal in altering the natural habitat, and the selective preservation of healthier trees; and

8. The presence of a pest infestation in a protected indigenous tree, which cannot be treated or mitigated through appropriate, industry recommended, and economically reasonable preservation procedures and practices, and which may spread to other trees.

C. The director may require the protected indigenous tree’s relocation to another site on the property, or off-site location within city limits, in which case the applicant shall post a performance bond in an amount equal to 100% of the appraised value of relocated tree(s), calculated using the most recent edition of the Guide for Plant Appraisal published by the International Society of Arboriculture, to ensure that the relocated trees are properly established and maintained for three years. The director’s determination to require such relocation shall only be made if:

1. The environmental conditions of the new location are favorable to the survival of the protected indigenous tree;

2. The cost is reasonable;

3. A reasonable probability exists that the tree will survive; and

4. The relocation is accomplished by qualified personnel. 34 of 253

19 D. As a condition of a permit authorizing a person to cut, remove, encroach upon or relocate any protected indigenous tree or trees, or when any protected indigenous tree dies or is destroyed as a result of permitted development activities, the director shall require that one (1) or more trees must be planted as a mitigation measure, with the species as determined by the director. Mitigation trees cannot be planted on city property, easements, or other setbacks unless permission is explicitly given by the director. Mitigation or replacement trees shall also meet the following criteria:

1. The combined diameter of the trees proposed to be planted cannot exceed the diameter of the protected indigenous tree, or the combined diameter of the protected indigenous trees, proposed to be cut, moved, encroached upon or removed, or of the protected indigenous tree or trees actually destroyed;

2. The container size of trees planted as a mitigation must be at least 24” box container size, unless the director determines that the nursery availability of a required species is limited, and a smaller container size may be permitted after reasonable efforts have been undertaken to locate such a tree;

3. The replacement tree or trees must be planted to the city's current tree planting standards and specifications, specific to the size of the required replanting, as provided by the director to the property owner; and

4. Tree condition monitoring during and post-project may be required for any project with affected protected indigenous trees and/or the planting to ensure that trees are properly established and maintained until tree(s) reach a size where it is protected by this chapter. Any tree planted as a condition of a permit may be required to be replaced if it dies or is destroyed before reaching such size.

E. When the director specifies in a permit issued under this chapter that a particular species of protected indigenous tree must be planted as a condition of the permit or as a mitigation measure for damaging or destroying a protected indigenous tree, the property owner, developer or permit holder shall not plant a species other than the one designated by the director for the particular site or location.

F. As a condition of a permit authorizing the cutting, removal, encroachment upon, or relocation of a protected indigenous tree, or when any protected indigenous tree dies or is destroyed as a result of permitted development activities and the property owner, developer or permit applicant cannot plant a replacement tree as determined by the director, the property owner, developer or permit applicant may be required to pay to the City:

1. A tree replacement fee, as restitution and for deposit in the city’s urban forestry fund, in an amount equal to the value of the replacement tree;

2. A tree installation and establishment fee, as restitution and for deposit in the city’s urban forestry fund, in an amount equal to the city’s estimated cost, as established 35 of 253

20 by a resolution of the council, to plant, water, and maintain for three years a replacement tree on public property; and

3. An administrative enforcement fee, as established by resolution of the council, in an amount sufficient to cover the administrative cost of enforcing this chapter.

G. The director may impose additional measures or requirements to preserve and protect the health of a protected indigenous trees that remain, relocated trees, and new protected indigenous trees planted to replace those removed. The measures may include, but are not limited to, any of the following:

1. Erecting temporary or permanent protective devices around the protected indigenous trees, so that no substantial disruption or removal occurs to the structure or feeder roots of a protected indigenous tree;

2. Prohibiting mechanical activity within the protected zone of a protected indigenous tree;

3. Prohibiting placement of fill material within the protected zone of a protected indigenous tree, unless an adequate drainage and aerification system is provided for the tree(s) to the director’s satisfaction.

H. As a condition of any permit for construction, repair, alteration, relocation, or removal of any building, structure or any other type of construction, a permit holder shall provide sufficient safeguards and protections, as determined by the director, to prevent injury to a protected indigenous tree. The director has the authority to issue a stop work notice for any work, construction, activity or operation which damages, or threatens to damage, a protected indigenous tree; or when tree preservation measures have been violated; or in both situations.

I. As a condition of all issued permits to prune, root prune, perform work near, or remove an indigenous tree, the property owner or their agent must give notice in the manner as required in this section, any applicable provision of the Community Forest Management Plan, and as determined by the director when the permit is issued.

1. Notices must be posted at least 3 days prior to the scheduled date of work.

2. Notices must be posted in a format determined by the City at a prominent point on private property adjacent to the public right-of-way, so that all information is clearly displayed pertaining to:
a. A full copy of the issued permit itself, including all conditions; and if the printed permit does not include the following information;
b. Description of the protected tree inclusive of species, size, and location, and; c. Description of the approved work to be performed.

3. Failure to give notice as required will be considered a violation of permit conditions as described in this Chapter.

J. Approval of a permit issued under this chapter is contingent upon full compliance with all terms and conditions imposed as part of the approval. If the director determines that the property owner, developer or permit holder has violated, or has failed to comply with any of the permit’s terms or conditions, the director, upon written 36 of 253

21 notice to the property owner, developer or permit holder, may suspend, revoke, or restrict the permit, or impose new or additional conditions on the permit.

12.44.090 Appeals of permit decisions.

12.44.100 Permit fees.
37 of 253

22 The city council shall establish and require permit fees for permits pertaining to cutting, removing, encroaching upon, or relocating a protected indigenous tree. The permit fee must not exceed the cost of administering each permit. Fees will be subject to annual revision and adjustment to reflect current administrative costs. An applicant for a permit shall pay the full fee when the applicant submits the permit application. The director shall not accept an application for a permit under this chapter, unless the applicant pays the fee in full.

12.44.110 Cumulative administrative, civil and criminal remedies.

The administrative remedies, penalties, and assessments provided for in this chapter are cumulative to each other and to the remedies, penalties, and assessments, civil and criminal, available under this code and all other laws of this state. Nothing in this chapter prevents the commencement of a criminal action, or a civil action, or both, with respect to any violation of this chapter’s provisions.

12.44.120 Administrative citation, penalty and hearing.

A. The administrative remedies provided for in this section shall be deemed to be cumulative and not mutually exclusive to the civil and criminal remedies provided for in this chapter.

B. The director may assess against any person who commits, allows, or maintains a violation of any provision of this chapter an administrative penalty per violation. Each and every day during any portion of which any violation is committed, continued, or permitted shall constitute a separate offense. Where the violation has resulted in the destruction or removal of a protected indigenous tree, or where the condition of the tree is such that it requires removal as determined by the director, the penalty shall be in an amount as established or modified by resolution of the city council per tree unlawfully destroyed or removed.

C. In addition to the liability imposed by Section 12.44.120B, any person who destroys, removes or damages a protected indigenous tree, or allows destruction, removal, or damage to occur on any property where such person is a property owner, after having been previously denied a permit to do so, or who does so with knowledge that such permit or City approval is required, shall be liable to the city in an amount equal to three (3) times the applicable fine for the underlying violation as set forth in the in the Citywide Fee Schedule.

D. At their sole discretion, the director may approve a compliance agreement between the city and any person who commits, allows, or maintains a violation of any provision of this chapter. This agreement may include, but is not limited to, requiring the person to post a bond and obtain the necessary permits, directing the person to provide methods of mitigation and replacement for the unauthorized alteration, removal, encroachment upon, or relocation of a protected tree, and prescribing other reasonable measures to abate a specific violation of this chapter. 38 of 253

23 E. Upon determining that a person has committed a violation of this chapter, an administrative citation to the responsible party may be issued using the procedures set out in this section. As used in this section, the term “responsible party” shall mean the owner of the property or the person who commits, allows, or maintains a violation of any provision of this chapter.

The administrative citation shall be served by personal service on the responsible party or by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the responsible party’s last known address. The responsible party’s refusal to accept the administrative citation shall not affect the validity of the administrative citation or any proceeding undertaken under this section.

F. To the extent the following information is reasonably available to the director, the administrative citation shall:

1. State the date the administrative citation is issued;

2. State the responsible party’s name, current residential address, and mailing address;

3. Refer to the code section violated and describe how the responsible party violated the code section;

4. State the date the violation was discovered by the director;

5. State the amount of penalty imposed for the violation;

6. Explain how the responsible party may pay the penalty, including the location and manner, as well as the time period by which the penalty must be paid and the consequences of failure to pay the penalty;

7. Explain the procedure for obtaining an administrative hearing; specifically, notice that the responsible party must make a written request within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date the administrative citation is issued and that the responsible party will be notified by mail of the date of the hearing;

8. Include a warning that a failure to pay the penalty and/or failure to appear at a requested administrative hearing may result in the penalties described in section 12.44.130; and

9. Describe any action necessary to correct the violation and explain that failure to do so may result in the issuance of additional administrative citations and the imposition of additional penalties.

G. Within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date the administrative citation is served on the responsible party, the responsible party must pay the penalty amount designated on the administrative citation and may also make a written request for an administrative hearing. The responsible party’s failure to pay the penalty within fifteen (15) calendar days and to correct the violation constitutes a default, upon the occurrence of which, the city may treat the penalty as an account receivable subject to the established policy for delinquent accounts receivable. The city may use all appropriate legal means to collect the penalties imposed pursuant to this chapter.

I. Any responsible party to whom an administrative citation has been issued may contest that there was a violation of this chapter or that he or she is the responsible 39 of 253

24 party by filing a written request with the director for an administrative hearing within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of service of the administrative citation. Such request shall be accompanied by payment of the administrative penalties. The director shall set a date for an administrative hearing before the building and fire board of appeals not less than fifteen (15) calendar days nor more than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the request. The director shall, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or personal service, give notice to the responsible party of the time, date and location of the hearing. The director also shall provide the responsible party in advance with any materials provided to the building and fire board of appeals.

J. The responsible party’s failure to appear at a noticed hearing shall constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing, a forfeiture of the fine(s), and a failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Upon a showing of good cause by the responsible party, the building and fire board of appeals may excuse the responsible party’s failure to appear at the hearing and reschedule the hearing. Under no circumstances shall the hearing be rescheduled more than once.

I. The administrative hearing is intended to be informal in nature. Formal evidentiary rules and discovery shall not apply, except that irrelevant and unduly repetitious evidence may be excluded at the discretion of the building and fire board of appeals. Each party shall have the opportunity to offer testimony and evidence and cross examine witnesses in support of its case. The building and fire board of appeals may continue the hearing or request additional information from either side.

L. Within fifteen (15) calendar days of the conclusion of the hearing, the building and fire board of appeals shall determine whether a violation has occurred and provide the responsible party with its decision in writing, also known as an administrative order.

The building and fire board of appeals shall provide the responsible party with the administrative order by personal service or by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the responsible party’s last known address. A decision in favor of the responsible party shall constitute a dismissal of the violation. The city shall promptly return any monies paid by the responsible party. If the building and fire board of appeals renders a decision in favor of the city, the responsible party must comply with the administrative order or seek judicial review of the administrative order.

M. If an administrative order is rendered in favor of the city pursuant to this division, the responsible party may appeal any decision made by the building and fire board of appeals to the city council within the time and in the manner provided by the uniform appeal procedure of chapter 2.88 of this code. The decision of the city council shall be final.

Trees should not be planted in the middle of the width of parking spaces. The use of species of trees to match street trees on adjacent streets should be considered. A mix of species within parking lots is encouraged. Uplighting of trees is permitted. Planters for trees must have a minimum dimension of five (5) feet interior dimension, up to two (2) feet of which dimension may be overhang beyond a wheel stop of a parking space. The overhang beyond the wheelstop may not be included in calculating required area of landscaping; however, planters for all trees with a spread at maturity of less than 25 feet may have a minimum dimension of three (3) feet, and wheelstops must be placed so that cars do not overhang into these planters.

3. Tree species. The trees shall be any tree species or combination of tree species designated in the Department of Public Works Designated Street Tree List.

Alternative trees may be used, subject to approval of the species and the planter size by the director of public works. All trees required for parking areas used solely for vehicle display and storage of vehicle inventory may be any species that grows to a height of at least ten (10) feet at maturity.

4. Unused areas. All areas in a parking lot not used for driveways, maneuvering areas, parking stalls and walks, shall be permanently landscaped with suitable materials and maintained. Parking lot landscaping must be distributed throughout parking areas and may not be concentrated in one (1) area only.

C. Concrete Curb. All landscaped areas along the perimeter of a parking lot or structure and within the interior of parking lots shall be bordered by a concrete curb a minimum of five (5) inches high adjacent to the parking surface and the property line where there is no building or wall. Such concrete curb shall not be counted as part of any landscaped areas. All required landscape planter beds in interior parking 59 of 253

areas shall be not less than three (3) feet wide. Continuous curbing must be provided, except for the minimum number of breaks in the curbing to accommodate storm water runoff, to the satisfaction of the director of public works.

D. Irrigation System. A permanent and automatic irrigation system shall be installed and maintained in all landscaped areas to insure proper maintenance of plant materials.

E. Materials. Landscaping shall include shrubs, trees, vines, ground cover, hedges, flowers, bark, chips, decorating cinders, gravel, or similar material which will improve the appearance of parking areas.

F. Maintenance. All landscaping shall be installed and maintained in such a manner as to not interfere with maintenance or repair of any utility, not restrict pedestrian or vehicular access, and not constitute a traffic hazard due to reduced visibility.

G. Landscaping adjacent Residential Zones. See Section 30.31.030 for requirements of landscaping when commercial or industrial zones are adjacent residential zones.

H. Additional Regulations in the PS Overlay Zone. See Section 30.31.020 for additional requirements for the PS overlay zone.

SECTION 7. Section 30.47.040 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

30.47.040 Standards
In consideration of applications for design review, the review authority shall be guided by the intent and purpose of Section 30.47.010 and the standards set forth in this section. The design review board shall adopt written guidelines consistent with such intent, purposes, and standards, as it may deem necessary to properly exercise its powers and duties. Such guidelines shall be approved by the city council and shall be kept on file in the office of the director of community development, and a copy thereof shall be furnished to any person upon request. Within the DSP zone, all design review shall be subject to the guidelines and standards established by the downtown specific plan.

For the purposes of this section, the term “review authority” shall mean the design review board, the city council, the director of community development, the historic preservation commission, or the arts and culture commission, as applicable.

A. The review authority shall ensure that all projects are consistent with adopted community plans.
60 of 253

B. The following standards and criteria may be utilized by the review authority which may require changes in materials, color, general design and layout, projections in the vertical or horizontal plane or such other design changes as may be necessary.

1. In addition to the height and minimum setback requirements set forth for the zone in which the property is located, changes in material, height, projections in the vertical or horizontal plane or similar façade changes should be encouraged on visible exterior building walls. Primary attention shall be given to those sides visible from the public right-of-way.

2. The appropriateness of a new or remodeled building to the zoning and area within which it is located, surrounding architectural design, scale and streetscape appearance should be considered provided they are in keeping with the intent and purpose of this chapter. Integrated and harmonious design themes are encouraged, including the use of consistent materials, colors, textures and signs on exposed building walls. New development or remodeling should be designed in such a way as to upgrade the appearance and quality of the area and be harmonious with existing improvements.

3. Conflicting relationships to adjacent buildings, structures, improvements and uses should be avoided as appropriate to the zone and area. For buildings in the R1, R1R or ROS zones, new development or remodeling that includes more than one (1) story in height shall continue to allow reasonable access to natural light for buildings in the R1, R1R and ROS zones, and shall not unreasonably impact the privacy of buildings and outdoor spaces in the R1, R1R and ROS zones.

Privacy shall be judged by the view from the living room, den, study, family room, great room, library, dining room or balconies (greater than twenty-five (25) square feet) of the new development into the buildings and backyard outdoor space of existing buildings. For new development and remodeling in the R 1, R1R and ROS zones, consideration shall be given to the placement of windows in the new development vis-à-vis the placement of windows in adjacent residential buildings.

4. Boundary and other walls should generally be of decorative masonry and/or wrought iron which is complementary in color, texture and material to the development as a whole, although it is recognized that these materials may not be appropriate in all situations (i.e., wood fencing in residential zones and chain link fencing in industrial zones).

5. Landscaping shall be integrated into the architectural scheme so as to accent and enhance the appearance of the development. Existing trees (including those regulated in Chapter 12.44 of this code pertaining to preservation and protection of indigenous trees) over six (6) inches in diameter on the site and any tree within the parkway (as regulated in Chapter 12.40 of this code) as well as trees on adjacent property within twenty (20) feet of the common property line shall be considered for preservation in the site planning.
61 of 253

6. Subject to any applicable height limits, rooftop equipment shall be incorporated into the design of the project in such a manner that it is completely enclosed on all sides or concealed from view by screening, roofing or parapets at least six (6) inches higher than the height of the uppermost part of such equipment.

7. Any dish antenna that is ground-mounted but attached to a building or structure, and any roof-mounted dish antenna, shall be designed in accord with the criteria in Section 30.34.050.

In evaluating any proposed ground-mounted dish antenna that is attached to a building or structure, any roof-mounted dish antenna, or any ground-mounted dish antenna not qualifying for exemption under the criteria of Section 30.47.020 of this chapter, the review authority shall determine whether the color would be unobtrusive, whether the dish antenna can be installed in a location and in a manner which would minimize visual intrusion while maintaining practical operation, and whether the dish can be screened so that it is suitably concealed from view, in order to promote aesthetic objectives, including, but not limited to, compatibility of neighborhood properties, the preservation of views and vistas, and the overall harmonious development of property. The criteria set forth herein shall apply only insofar as such criteria do not prevent the reception of satellite delivered signals or do not impose costs on the users of such antennas that are excessive in light of the purchase and installation costs and intended use of the dish antenna.

8. Any wireless telecommunications facility shall be designed in accord with the criteria specified in Chapter 30.48 of this title. The standards outlined elsewhere in this Section 30.47.040 notwithstanding, all wireless telecommunications facilities shall be designed in accordance with Chapter 30.48 of this title.

9. In addition to paragraphs 1 through 8 of this subsection, within designated “HD” historic district overlay zones, design review standards shall be as adopted by the city council in the citywide historic district design guidelines, as may be supplemented by the city council for each district, or any guidelines for non- residential buildings for each district as adopted by the city council at the time of designation of that district. In the event of a conflict between paragraphs 1 through 8 of this subsection A, and the citywide historic district design guidelines, and as may be supplemented by the city council for each district at the time of designation of that district, or any guidelines for non-residential buildings for each district, as adopted by the city council at the time of designation of that district, the citywide historic district design guidelines and applicable supplements thereto, and any guidelines for non-residential buildings as may be adopted by the city council for that district, shall take precedence, with the final determination of whether there is a conflict to be made by the director of community development.
62 of 253

C. The review authority shall ensure the compatible design of all multi-unit projects that abut a single-family zone. To accomplish this goal, the review authority shall have the authority to impose more restrictive development standards than the provisions of the zone in which the project is located. The review authority shall review each multi-unit project in terms of its impact on the single-family residential neighborhood, including, but not limited to, such design elements as window location, balconies, location of recreational facilities, entryways, and garage location. Although street setbacks are not required in the IMU, IMU-R and SFMU zones, the review authority may add conditions to ensure pedestrian activity at the street edge including the location of building entrances and surface parking lots and the use of setback areas as plazas, open space, or other active uses. In the IMU, IMU-R and SFMU zones, façades on the corner cutoff areas at intersections should incorporate significant architectural design features (e.g., a tower). The review authority may require transitional height increases in order to promote a visual transition between the single-family neighborhood and multiple-family zone and to ensure that adequate landscape buffering is provided and permanently maintained. The review authority shall also consider the multiple dwelling building façades, roof designs, and use of materials and colors to ensure compatibility with the architectural design elements generally found in the neighboring single-family zone.

D. The review authority shall ensure single-family design that is compatible with the character inherent within the surrounding neighborhood. Primary emphasis on what constitutes a neighborhood should generally be given to the existing development pattern within three hundred (300) feet of the subject property. Special attention should also be placed on ensuring a positive design relationship with the adjacent developments and developments on the block on which the proposed project is located. The director of community development shall have the discretion to consider an alternate area to be the neighborhood of primary emphasis. To accomplish compatibility, the review authority shall review each single-family residential project in terms of its specific impact on the surrounding single-family neighborhood, including, but not limited to, such design elements as massing, scale, height, setback, landscaping, impacts from average current slopes exceeding fifty (50) percent and grading of more than one thousand five hundred (1,500) cubic yards and window location. The review authority shall consider the setbacks of buildings and structures on adjacent properties and ensure that a project’s proposed height and setback promote a visual transition between the project and neighboring buildings. The review authority shall also consider garage location and design to promote compatibility with neighborhood patterns. The review authority shall also consider the single-family building façades, roof designs, and use of material and colors to ensure compatibility with the architectural design elements generally found in the surrounding single-family zone.

E. Decisions related to development in the ROS and R1R zones shall consider the hillside development review policy contained in Section 30.11.040(A). 63 of 253

F. The review authority shall ensure that sign programs are consistent with the following standards:

1. Signs shall be compatible with the project architecture and the surroundings including significant landscape features.

2. Signs shall not unduly compete with or obstruct other business signs, obstruct traffic signals, detract from the architectural features of the neighborhood, or create visual clutter.

3. The sign program shall exhibit a harmonious design, mounting and illumination theme for the entire lot or site.

4. The sign program shall be consistent with any applicable plans or guidelines.

G. The review authority shall ensure that murals are consistent with the following standards:

1. Murals shall not constitute any form of commercial advertisement.

2. Murals shall not contain any obscenity.

3. Murals shall not cause the removal of required landscaping.

4. Murals must be durable and capable of being well maintained.

5. Murals shall be located on existing walls.

H. The review authority shall ensure that creative signs are consistent with the following design criteria:

1. Design quality. The sign shall:
a. Constitute a substantial aesthetic improvement to the site and shall have a positive visual impact on the surrounding area;
b. Be of unique design, and exhibit a high degree of creativity, thoughtfulness, imagination, inventiveness, and spirit; and
c. Provide strong graphic and artistic character through the imaginative use of graphics, color, texture, quality materials, scale, and proportion. d. Inventive representation of the use, name, or logo of the structure or business.
64 of 253

2. Contextual criteria. The sign shall contain at least one (1) of the following elements:
a. Symbols or imagery relating to the entertainment, creative, or design industries;
b. Creative image reflecting current or historic character of the city or neighborhood;
c. Classic historic design style.

3. Architectural criteria. The sign shall:
a. Utilize or enhance the architectural elements of the building; and b. Be placed in a logical and proportional location in relation to the overall composition of the building’s façade and not cover any key architectural features and details.

SECTION 8. Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act.

SECTION 9. 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
SECTION 10. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after the date of its passage.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Introduction of Ordinance for Public and Private Indigenous Tree Protections

1. Ordinance amending portions of Chapter 12.40 and 12.44 of the Glendale Municipal Code to update standards and enforcement mechanisms for public and indigenous tree protection

2. Ordinance amending portions of Titles 16 and 30 of the Glendale Municipal Code regarding tree-related zoning provisions

3. Ordinance establishing and modifying administrative citation fines in the Citywide Fee Schedule for enforcement of the public tree and indigenous tree ordinances

4. Resolution of Appropriation for Outreach Services

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Public Hearing
Approved for January 30, 2024 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At five City Council meetings between 2021 and 2023, the Public Works Department presented information regarding the state of Glendale’s urban forest. At these meetings, the City Council expressed interest in improving Glendale Municipal Codes relating to trees. This report describes the proposed ordinances and the proposed fee structure to enforce the ordinances. The report also covers additional modifications proposed since the most recent Council discussion in March 2023, as well as feedback from the Sustainability Commission.

The city currently protects any tree within the city’s right-of-way, and six species of private indigenous trees, under its Street Tree Ordinance (GMC 12.40) and the Indigenous Tree Ordinance (GMC 12.44), both of which are administered by the Public Works Department.

Additionally, portions of Chapters 16 (Subdivisions) and 30 (Zoning) have requirements concerning protected city and private trees and give Public Works oversight over the landscape design of trees within new parking lots.

On March 28, 2023, an ordinance was presented for consideration by the City Council to modify protections for public and private trees. The ordinance was not introduced for adoption. Instead, the Council provided direction to staff on further modifications to the ordinance, additional outreach measures and further research. 72 of 253

RECOMMENDATION
Introduce an Ordinance amending the Glendale Municipal Code (GMC) to revise the existing Street Tree Ordinance into a “City Tree” Ordinance and revising both Public Tree and Indigenous Tree code language to protect trees more effectively, as well as amending these tree-related codes to align with current city policy and practice. Also, that the Council introduce an Ordinance to simultaneously clean up portions of Titles 16 and 30 to match the other tree-related code modifications and update zoning and subdivision standards in line with current practice. Additionally, that the Council introduce an Ordinance Adding and Modifying Administrative Citation Fines in the Citywide Fee Schedule for Enforcement of the proposed Public Tree and Indigenous Tree Ordinances.

The Council may approve a Resolution of Appropriation for outreach services related to the ordinance.

ANALYSIS
In early 2021, the City Council requested a report on the current state of the urban forest.

Over four City Council meetings on May 18, 2021, September 21, 2021, March 1, 2022, and September 27, 2022, staff provided information on aspects of public tree maintenance and tree protection ordinances. Staff recommended a 10-year planting program to return our public tree canopy to previous levels. The City Council gave direction to expand the tree planting program significantly to meet a new 25% citywide tree canopy goal, and allocated funding for this program, which is ongoing. Council also expressed interest in expansion of protections for public and private trees.

Public Works staff worked with the Community Development Department to review Titles 16 (Subdivisions) and 30 (Zoning) to ensure consistency with existing street and indigenous tree ordinances, inclusive of the parking lot code. Amendments to Titles 16 and 30 were presented and approved by the Planning Commission on February 1, 2023.

At the March 28, 2023 City Council meeting, Council requested that Public Works reassess portions of the proposed code for further refinement, review outreach and financial impact, and consider policies for expansion of the ordinance protections to additional trees. On October 5, 2023, Public Works also presented these refinements to the Sustainability Commission for their feedback as requested by the Council.

Commission’s feedback has been noted and incorporated into this report.

Introduction of Revised Ordinances Regulating Public and Indigenous Trees Staff identified shortcomings within existing ordinance language, and other language outdated by the advance of arboricultural science in the current city code. The aim of proposed changes is to, address inconsistencies between code chapters, and expand protections to all currently protected City and private trees. Staff has prepared proposed revisions to GMC Chapters 12.40 and 12.44 based on Council and community feedback at the March 28, 2023, meeting, and these revisions have been reviewed by the City Attorney’s office and the Sustainability Commission.

Additionally, staff previously reviewed relevant sections of Titles 16 and 30 in collaboration with the Community Development Department to correct minor 73 of 253

37a
4 8
7 5
discrepancies within those codes, and to improve GMC 30.32 concerning private parking lot trees. No further revisions to these codes are proposed beyond what Public Works previously recommended to Council in March 2023.

The proposed changes to the City’s tree protection ordinances are intended to accomplish three goals: (1) ensure consistent language across both ordinances and current city practice; (2) clarify ambiguous areas within the ordinances; and (3) add stronger protections to trees currently protected and include all city-owned trees under these protections. These modifications are intended to support and grow the urban tree canopy by preserving existing trees and increasing opportunities for requiring replacement plantings, while providing clarity to residents or their contractors in terms of what is and is not permissible.

The proposed modifications to Titles 16 and 30 are intended to accomplish two goals: (1) update language to be consistent across city ordinances related to trees, and (2) improve and expand the species to be planted within parking lots; both without increasing workload for applicants or city staff.

These ordinance amendments presented here do not reflect any proposed program changes to expand classes of protected trees to additional species or tree types, which will be discussed later in the report.

Street Tree Ordinance, GMC 12.40
Substantive changes to the street tree ordinance involve the following:
•Expands existing street tree protections to trees located within city parks, lots, open spaces, and other various city-owned properties, and renaming the code section to City Tree Ordinance to reflect these changes. These trees currently have no ordinance protections.
•Ensures definitions and word choices are consistent between both tree ordinances, and with current arboricultural language and science. •Provides specific examples for permit requirements and prohibitions and provides protections that are currently enforced but not specifically codified. •Provides an in-lieu payment option for tree replacement in cases where the city determines a tree cannot be planted in the same location, for permitted or unpermitted removals. Some Citywide Fee Schedule titles would be modified to reflect both City and Indigenous tree in lieu payment options. •Adds requirement for the applicant to post public signage when a permit is issued.

Indigenous Tree Ordinance, GMC 12.44
Modifications proposed to the indigenous tree ordinance, in addition to changes noted under GMC 12.40, include the following:
•Clarify language regarding pest infestations and the standard for treatment. •Update language to fit current arboricultural standards, including protecting a kind of scrub oak which is now considered a separate species. 74 of 253

47a

•Assert non-liability of City related to staff recommendations to property owners in line with codes from comparable municipalities.
•Set a minimum standard replacement tree size at 24” box container size and planting specifications for most situations.
•Omits codified references to dollar amount penalties, instead referencing the Citywide Fee Schedule, which can be updated regularly with Council approval. •Adds requirement for the applicant to post public signage when a permit is issued. •Refines standards for work; an arborist must supervise work that requires a permit, rather than just a licensed contractor, and an arborist report must be submitted for any proposed development project with trees on site or within 20’ inclusive of if construction access or staging is likely to impact trees.

GMC Chapter 16, Subdivisions
Changes proposed to Chapter 16 include the following:
•Corrects the incorrect minimum tree trunk diameter previously codified. In Glendale, indigenous trees are protected at 6” trunk diameter, not 8” as written in Title 16. Staff believes this 8” diameter reference was an oversight. •Inserts a reference to GMC 12.44 and the additional requirements when plans depict protected trees.

GMC Chapter 30, Zoning
There are few substantive changes proposed to zoning codes. Modifications proposed include the following:
•Enhancement and expansion of the species list for parking lot tree planting, in line with city policy on best planting practice and to ensure climate-appropriate trees are being planted. The current codified list includes species now inappropriate for Glendale’s climate and cultivars of species that are difficult to locate, thus artificially limiting the species palette. Expanding this list would be achieved by not codifying the species list as it is currently, but instead aligning it with the species found in the city’s designated street tree list, which is maintained by the Public Works Department as part of the city’s Community Forest Management Plan. This list has been established and regularly updated for the past twenty years and consists of over 100 appropriate species. The updated list will be made available on the city’s website, following conclusion of this process. All species on the city’s list are at least 25’ tall at maturity.
•Correction where diameter for protected trees was incorrectly codified as 8”. •Clarification that applicants must depict trees on plans per GMC 12.40 and 12.44. •A suggestion to change applicant consideration of preservation of existing trees from ‘should’ to ‘shall’ per the Sustainability Commission’s feedback.

Chapters 16 and 30 were presented to the Planning Commission at their February 1, 2023, meeting. The Planning Commission’s only concern related to the change from ‘should’ to ‘shall,’ as the Commission did not wish to explicitly require tree preservation, just to encourage the consideration.

Permitted Tree Removal and Replacement Fees
Currently, there is no ability for Glendale to require payment when a street tree is approved for removal if it is determined that on-site replacement is not possible due to various factors. The proposed modifications to the street tree ordinance would rectify this.

Currently, if a tree is removed in a parkway, and there is no space to replant it, there can be no replanting requirement.

The indigenous tree ordinance does provide this ‘in-lieu’ fee option, with tree replacement to occur on city property and performed by the City or its contractor. The Citywide Fee Schedule includes five fees for varying sizes of replacement tree. These fees were recently assessed by a consultant as part of a citywide fee study and were recommended for an increase to meet cost recovery. The citywide fee study process is ongoing, and the fee amounts will be recommended for adjustment when the study is presented to Council later this fiscal year. In Table 1 below, Public Works proposes updating the language of these fees to be inclusive of both the proposed street and existing indigenous tree in lieu functions.

Unpermitted Tree Damage or Destruction Fees
Both the current street and indigenous tree ordinances enable the city to pursue restitution in cases of unpermitted tree damage or destruction. In the case of the street tree ordinance, beyond restitution for the tree, a removal which occurs after the denial of a removal permit (or when city staff can prove the damage or removal was committed with the knowledge that a permit was required) could lead to civil penalties of three times the appraised value of the destroyed tree.

With the indigenous tree ordinance, the maximum civil penalty fee is $10,000 per tree removed or destroyed. In addition, the ordinance is unclear as to what other amounts may be appropriate, meaning every case must be discussed with the City Attorney’s office.

For both ordinances, the city also has the authority to issue administrative citations per violation, with $400 at the first instance, and $1,000 and $2,000 for subsequent violations.

For more egregious cases with sufficient evidence, the city can may opt to issue citations 76 of 253

67a
4 8
7 5
per violation, per day. With the current fee structure, there is no distinction between violations. For example, a person cutting the top off a large city or private indigenous tree to obtain a better view would typically be assessed a $400 administrative citation, which is the same administrative penalty for illegally removing the tree.

The current restitution process for the illegal removal of a tree is ineffective. As is, should there be any refusal to pay, the billed restitution would necessitate civil action through the City Attorney’s office. The process is not only time and resource consuming but will cost the city more than the appraised value of a tree.

As an example, a recent case saw the destruction of a 60’ tall city tree’s root system, resulting in its removal. Rather than being able to obtain restitution for the estimated value of over $20,000 for this healthy, mature tree, the city issued two small administrative citations for violations referenced in the GMC. Public Works, Code Compliance, and the City Attorney’s office work together to pursue violations to the appropriate extent, but options can be limited. Such minor consequences do little to dissuade parties motivated to destroy trees and limits the city’s ability to maintain existing tree canopy or plant enough trees to make up losses.

A solution is to set Citywide Fee Schedule citation amounts based on the appraised value of trees of certain size classes. Increased fees are set for unpermitted actions which lead to tree destruction and set amounts are listed for when the exact size of the removed tree is impossible to determine. Staff proposes that the city establish administrative citation amounts for illegal tree removal and damage resulting in removals, codified in the Citywide Fee Schedule, and enforced in tandem with Code Compliance. In turn, this will provide increased clarity for Glendale’s residents.

The intent is not to create new, excessive fines, but rather to improve enforceability of our existing ordinances and utilize the tree valuations already reflected in existing code.

Existing administrative citations of $400, $1,000, and $2,000, would instead be used for violations that don’t result in tree destruction, such as minor unpermitted pruning. Larger administrative citations would be limited to clear cases where city or private protected trees were removed or damaged to the point where removal is the only option. The existing street tree ordinance permits tripling damages in cases where the city can prove a tree removal was done with knowledge that city approval was required. Staff recommends retaining this option and extending it to the Indigenous Tree Ordinance.

Table 2 shown below, describes the methodology behind the calculation of fees in the proposed administrative citation schedule. Values were taken from the city’s tree inventory software which calculated the appraised value of each city tree based on its size, health, and location. In situations of private tree removal where staff has no recent diameter size recorded for the removed tree, evidence such as past and present site photographs can be utilized, as is done in La Cañada Flintridge. 77 of 253

Table 3 below shows a comparative analysis of San Mateo County and La Cañada Flintridge where the administrative citation is based on the size of the removed or destroyed tree. The proposed citation fee schedule in Table 2 is based on the cost to replace and establish a new tree and the calculated value of a tree in fair condition of similar size, based on established industry standards. This table has been modified and expanded to accurately reflect the appraised value of trees, based upon Council feedback at the March 2023 meeting. The Sustainability Commission also recommended that penalties for trees falling into the ‘Unknown, under 30” DBH (Diameter at Breast Height)’ class have a citation amount equal to the penalty for removed trees of the 25-30” size, or $10,220. Previously the amount was set equal to trees at 13-18”, or $3,650. The Sustainability Commission commented that this would incentivize total tree removal to obscure the size of any removed tree.

It is also important to note that the GMC allows for non-exclusive penalties, meaning illegal tree removal, destruction, or damage can additionally result in denial of construction permits, holds on development, liens, and replacement tree requirements or in-lieu fees, in addition to administrative citations. Per Council request, a comparative chart of other cities’ replacement mitigation is shown in Table 4 below. For all cities, trees 78 of 253

than cannot be planted on site, as determined by staff, require an in-lieu payment.

Table 4: Comparative Mitigation, Protected Tree Replacement at 24” box City Typical Replacement Ratio Notes
Glendale 2:1, but no set quantity Per code, diameter of new trees cannot exceed diameter of removed tree
Pasadena 3 to 8:1 Quantity based on size of removed tree La Canada
Flintridge 1:1 If removed tree is larger than 24”,
larger box sizes are required
Los Angeles 4:1 Based on value, not quantity of trees
Public Works has traditionally required at least 2:1 replacement ratio for removed trees, meaning that one removed tree requires two new trees. If space is not available for all required trees, the in-lieu fee would be levied. Staff does not recommend codifying any replacement ratio standard, as this is better addressed in the City’s Community Forest Management Plan which affords flexibility on the quantity of required replacement trees based on the factors of a case.

Continuing the current program, with proposed ordinance modifications At the March 28, 2023 meeting, Council heard from a number of Glendale residents who asserted that Public Works staffing is not sufficient to administer the current protected tree programs. As stated previously, with the aforementioned modifications to the ordinances, staff believes current staffing is sufficient to administer the tree programs.

Should the direction from Council be to undertake more proactive enforcement, with more inspections, and more frequent patrols in forested areas, than staff would concur that our current resources are insufficient.

The city’s new online permit system has streamlined the permitting and plan review processes. Tree permits are not like most permit applications. With few exceptions, Public Works must inspect a tree or property prior to permit issuance. This inspection provides an important educational opportunity for the tree owner, and enables staff to determine if the pruning, removal, or other work is justified, or if important considerations were missed on the permit submittal. It also reduces instances where contractors exceed the approved scope of work. Unlike typical violations like cleaning up debris or redoing a project to code, a tree cannot be undamaged. Due to time limitations, staff are not always able to inspect following the completion of work.

In terms of plan and permit review, Community Development relies on voluntary disclosure of trees by the applicant to flag projects for our review, and other projects are flagged by Planning when protected trees are seen in site surveys. In FY 2022-2023, over 3,100 building, pool, fence, and right of way permit applications were submitted, which are the permit types which most commonly impact trees. Forestry staff was assigned to review over 100 of these – 3% of the total.

Of the remaining 97% of permit requests, some likely impacted city street trees or private indigenous trees without explicit Public Works approval or protection guidelines. Thanks to the city’s new permit portal, staff is noticing long-extant loopholes, and are closing 79 of 253

97a

7 5
them, and we are working on technical solutions to flag addresses potentially containing protected trees. The result will be more reviews for staff, but the exact quantity is unknown at this time.

Two positions in our existing staffing, the Urban Forester and the Arborist Technician, are trained to handle permits, plan reviews, and code violations, and only the Arborist Technician is dedicated fully to these tasks. Existing staffing has been sufficient to manage the program historically.

Staff estimates the Arborist Technician spends at least 1,085 hours annually reviewing plans and permit applications and plans. This is in addition to violation cases, outreach and education, informational calls, and other daily duties, which takes almost equal time.

Violation investigations are time consuming due to the need to comprehensively document damage. Trees are living, dynamic organisms where there is an extreme sense of urgency – and need – to respond to and investigate reported violations. Code Compliance Officers are rarely able to deviate from their assigned inspection schedule to immediately respond to reports of illegal tree removals or pruning. Due to the urgency to halt violations before complete destruction of a tree, this work results in the regular interruption of tightly scheduled days with inspections, appointments, and tree maintenance work. This will continue to be the reality of the current program, where we are limited by these factors without more proactive enforcement.

Based on discussions with Code Compliance, the proposed city and indigenous tree ordinances would not require additional staffing within Community Development, as Public Works handles violation documentation and referral. Since the March 2023 Council meeting, Code Compliance’s staffing has increased, and the referral process between CDD and PW has improved.

Protecting Additional Private Trees: Policy Options and Potential Impacts Council had also directed staff to review additional options to expand protection of private trees to include other non-indigenous trees. Below are three options which have previously been discussed.

Staff presented these approaches to the Sustainability Commission on October 5, 2023.

The Commission was not supportive of staff recommendations below, stating that Public Works should implement a mature shade tree protection program, to protect not just particular species of trees, but trees that provide significant shade regardless of type, and that tree owners should not be able to opt out of protection. Staff ultimately does not recommend any of the additional programs, as reflected in the analysis below.

Cities such as Pasadena and La Canada Flintridge, which protect additional species of trees, do not have Certified Arborists reviewing tree removal requests, tree protection plans, and the associated arborist reports. Planners untrained in arboriculture tend to approve any submitted arborists report, relying on the author’s expertise. These cities also maintain a list of approved arborists, where no pruning can occur unless it is performed by one of these few companies. This framework enables these cities to 80 of 253

107a
4 8
7 5
process tree removal and pruning permits using non-arborist staff. In Glendale, any proposal to prune, remove, or develop near a tree is reviewed by a city arborist, and this process provides better tree care to the city and its residents, allows for the rejection of poor arborist reports, allows for greater price competition among tree companies, and saves residents money when staff is able to waive permit fees or other requirements based on residents taking measures to protect trees. Staff would not recommend changing this framework. Glendale is able to maintain a span of control on the quality of approved tree work and tree reports which other cities cannot replicate.

Require in-lieu payment for certain non-protected tree removal An option to increase protections on private trees would be the expansion of in-lieu payments, as raised at the March 2023 Council meeting and discussed at the October 5, 2023 Sustainability Commission meeting. This program would require that all owners of private trees pay a fee to the city for the removal of their tree. The fee would be used for the replanting of a new tree on public property. However, under such a proposed system, there would be no protections beyond the fee. Staff does not recommend this approach.

The in-lieu fee may deter owners from removing the tree; however, it may also result in excessive review and approval processes and potentially disincentive residents from planting trees altogether. Public Works staff are currently tasked with assisting in the prevention of accidental or deliberate tree death through the indigenous tree program.

The review of hundreds or potentially thousands of new requests to remove trees, accidental or deliberate, will overwhelm current staffing. In addition, common reasons for tree deaths are still often the result of well-intentioned but ill-informed landscape or pruning practices rather than deliberate destruction. Issuing fines for the removal of all private trees would create a great burden on residents and may result in the decline of privately planted trees.

Tree removal in urban settings is already costly due to the difficulty of the work; adding thousands of dollars in city fees to this burden could negatively impact the city’s goal of increasing our tree canopy. Even if these fees are set aside for public tree planting, existing planting programs are operating at near capacity. There is a need to promote private tree planting to achieve a mature, diverse and well spread-out canopy.

Protect additional species or mature shade trees
Staff had raised the idea of protections that are equal to those of the indigenous tree ordinance, but for any non-indigenous species at 30” diameter or greater. The Sustainability Commission recommended implementing a form of this program. This system would protect the largest trees within the city by requiring owners to follow an ordinance modeled on the Indigenous Tree Ordinance, where owners would need to obtain permits, hire qualified arborists to maintain these trees, and preserve the trees during repairs or development. This will lead to a substantial increase in costs to private tree owners, and additional staff time across multiple departments in terms of administering such a program. A major issue with protecting trees based on their trunk size is that the trunk must be measured, which seems simple but in reality, sometimes requires professional guidance. Staff does not have data on the quantity of private trees 81 of 253

117a
4 8
7 5
of this size, but the city tree population of this size makes up 10% of our canopy. For subsequent discussion, we assume that roughly 10% of private trees may be of this mature shade tree size.

Staffing required to feasibly administer such a program in a city of our size is largely unworkable, particularly with city arborists as the administrators. The increased workload for plan review would primarily impact Public Works. While some of this would be due to the technical issues as described previously, staff anticipates a dramatic increase in plan reviews. Zoning codes already require applicants to depict trees over 8” for some projects, but this is achieved only by applicants self-reporting. With a programmatic change of this nature, Community Development will need to ensure plans correctly depict all trees and refer to Public Works for verification. Under such a program, Public Works staff may need to at least peruse all relevant permit applications – which as noted earlier, numbered 3,100 last year – to ensure trees are depicted properly. If there are trees present which require protection, over five hours of staff time are needed, on average, to review, obtain corrections, visit the location, develop permit conditions, and so on. A conservative estimate for plan review for newly protected trees amounts to 1,550 hours per year, more than the time the Arborist Technician currently devotes to Indigenous Tree related plan review. Review of plans without protected trees may still take up to half an hour each to verify the lack of protected trees – another 1,395 hours annually for plan review alone.

An alternative would be to modify city ordinance where any plan submittal would require an arborist report describing all trees on site, or a disclosure for the lack thereof, which could be a costly burden for applicants, with the cost of reports typically running from $500 to $2000. Requiring, at minimum, an arborist statement on the canopy of a given lot is a standard requirement in many municipalities, and staff would support its introduction in Glendale regardless of the level of tree protection adopted by Glendale. This will nevertheless require Public Works staff time to review these reports and has not been included in the Title 16 or 30 revisions.

In addition, staff’s ability to manage the complete program of site inspection, plan review, enforcing tree protection and construction monitoring, and violation investigations is simply not feasible. At minimum it would require four additional Certified Arborists, and a Section reorganization to effectively manage such a large workgroup involving new management level positions. Protecting any number of non-indigenous private trees is likely to lead to a commensurate increase in complaints to Community Development and Public Works, and violation cases are the most complex and time-consuming duties performed within Public Works - Forestry. While Code Compliance recently increased staffing, they still lack the flexible schedule or arboricultural qualifications required to respond to these sorts of concerns.

It is also important to consider the impact of such a policy on the public. Any tree owners (and those bordering any trees) may find themselves required to spend more on tree maintenance due to requirements with permitting and plan review, and the city could be drawn into private disputes over mature trees planted in poor locations, trees causing damage to neighboring properties, trees maintained poorly for decades, or exotic species 82 of 253

127a
4 8
7 5
no longer suitable for the area.

Finally, these protections could disincentivize the preservation of mature trees. Staff was unable to locate relevant studies on this topic, but we have long observed that when given a choice, the majority of residents will opt to not replant indigenous trees on site, to avoid city regulation of private property. The best way to avoid this outcome would be to instead protect all trees, which is a noble goal but not feasible, given the staffing required for this theoretical mature tree program alone in a vast city.

Given the administrative burden and fiscal impacts of such a program on both the city and our residents, staff does not support such a sweeping protection of private trees.

Heritage and Specimen Shade Tree Program
As discussed at the previous March 2023 Council meeting, Glendale is home to numerous large and old, private unprotected trees, which add to the character of our neighborhoods. Staff had discussed a program where notable private trees are nominated by the owner for tree protection, in line with the requirements of the Indigenous Tree Ordinance. The Sustainability Commission approved of this program but was concerned regarding the limitations of a self-nomination process, and highlighted their concern that mature shade trees would be left unprotected if the owner did not wish them to be.

However, after further analysis and consideration by staff, it was determined that the same drawbacks raised for other options apply here as well in terms of cost and staffing.

Further, any new tree protections will add significant new costs to tree owners, and likely their neighbors, and would change the way in which neighboring properties could be developed in addition to the parcel on which the tree is growing. Finally, the nomination process for a given tree in this program may be misused as a method by which reasonable development is delayed or prevented by neighbors, even in cases where the tree may be preserved. The city determining that a certain tree could be protected would require access to private property, even for those trees where the actual owner did not nominate it. If the program were to require owner opt-in, neighboring properties may nevertheless be subject to costly impacts or limits on development all the same, if the tree’s branches or roots extend across property lines.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Any of the proposed programs will have impacts citywide, particularly to properties with protected trees. The proposed modifications to the existing ordinances only add clarity and enhanced penalties to existing prohibitions and duties for these tree owners. Still, a renewed outreach effort focusing on City tree ordinances would benefit the community and the city, as existing literature is good, but dated, and will need revision.

Upon adoption of the modified and new ordinances, staff will pursue hiring a public outreach consultant to undertake a multimedia campaign to inform the community regarding proper tree care, preservation, permitting, and to highlight key points of the revised tree ordinances. Public Works recently utilized SGA Marketing for services related to Integrated Waste Management program changes, with costs of $134,000 annually. 83 of 253

This media should be available in multiple languages and be both in print and online.

Concurrently, as part of its standard practice, Public Works is currently revising its Community Forest Management Plan, which describes in detail city policies, practices, and standards for tree care, and this large document will be available to the public on the city’s website and is provided to individuals and contractors for their reference when needed. The consultant would be asked to assist with synthesizing this document into simple informational literature for the general public.

City staff are also an important stakeholder in this process. Public Works will host general informational sessions for relevant departments regarding current and additional processes, and more specific training for sections within these departments which frequently interface with protected tree and Public Works Forestry personnel.

As with previous changes to tree related codes, Public Works would coordinate a meeting of local tree care professionals to review ordinance changes and city expectations.

Finally, education is the most effective way to ensure compliance, and in turn, tree preservation. While arboriculture is a science, Public Works has never expected the residents of Glendale to be tree experts. When responding to a potential violation, longstanding practice has been to educate at each step of the way in the form of a letter specific to that address and that violation. First time violations which do not result permanent disfigurement or death of a tree typically have no recommended citations associated with them. This framework is not proposed to be changed.

FISCAL IMPACT
Revenue could be realized from the proposed fee changes. Based on reviews of recent years, staff believe that revenue from citations are unlikely to exceed $50,000 annually.

At present, annual citations average around $5,000. The new proposed larger citation amounts are related to mostly infrequent violations.

If Council chooses to move forward with the ordinances, staff recommends appropriating funds now to cover the cost of the outreach consultant who will assist with public engagement on the revised ordinance. This appropriation is outlined below:

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Glendale and Glendale Firefighters' Association (GFFA) Local 776.

1. Resolution Approving and Adopting the MOU Commencing July 1, 2024 and terminating after June 30, 2027.

2. Resolution providing for the establishment of classification titles and compensation for Employees Covered by the City/GFFA MOU.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for February 13, 2024 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Glendale Firefighters’ Association/Local 776 (GFFA) serves as the negotiating body for rank-and file Fire Sworn professionals, including Firefighter Recruits, Firefighters, Fire Engineers, Fire Captains, and related Paramedic roles. Since June 27, 2023, the City has been engaged in labor discussions with the GFFA to establish a successor memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

GFFA members take great pride in their association, consistently showcasing their commitment to the Fire Department’s goals and the exceptional character of their colleagues. Over the past ten years, the GFFA has worked closely with the City and Fire Management to adopt innovative approaches for enhancing their life-saving responsibilities, tackling budgetary challenges, and introducing cost-effective solutions.

At the onset of these negotiations, a detailed compensation analysis was conducted for Glendale Firefighter Paramedics, considering factors like base pay, longevity bonuses, education incentives, employer healthcare contributions, paid leave, and employer- supported retirement plans (401 or 457). Initially ranked 10th among 10 comparable cities, the GFFA’s position is set to improve to 5 th, thanks to the cost-of-living adjustments proposed in the new MOU.

This three-year MOU will affect 154 current employees and five vacant positions. Staff believes this MOU strikes a fair balance between offering competitive compensation and upholding fiscal responsibility.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the attached Resolution and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and GFFA/Local 776, and the accompanying Resolutions concerning the compensation of the relevant employees in its current form.

ANALYSIS
The GFFA has demonstrated a strong tradition of cooperative engagement with the City, especially in challenging economic times. A retrospective analysis over 15 years reveals that during the 2008-2009 recession, the GFFA agreed to reopen their existing MOU multiple times. These negotiations involved postponing planned salary increases and agreeing to higher cost-share for employer Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) deductions. The 2006 MOU underwent seven amendments and was extended until June 2018, reflecting these economic adjustments. Following this period, a three- year MOU was agreed upon, resulting in a modest salary increase of 3.5%. The subsequent MOU, spanning from July 2021 to June 2024, incorporated modest cost-of- living adjustments of 3% all deferred to the latter two years of the agreement.

In the current negotiation, the City’s objective has been to bring its contributions to medical premiums in line with those of the Glendale Management Association – Police, while also striving for a fair and balanced labor agreement. This agreement aims to address the retention challenges within the Fire Department and includes a commitment to a 50-50 shared responsibility model for any increases in medical premiums.

The GFFA outlined their negotiation goals as follows:
1) Preserve current staffing levels to ensure all fire stations are operational and fully staffed.
2) Attract and recruit potential firefighters from the local community. 3) Retain existing firefighters to avert any staffing shortages. 4) Sustain their 97% approval rating and guarantee prompt 911 response times. 5) Develop and implement new strategies to enhance diversity, inclusion and exceptional service within the City.
6) Foster a more integrated and collaborative environment with the Police Department.
7) Continue active participation in City-wide community events and activities.

Throughout the negotiation process, several proposals were discussed and refined, ultimately leading to mutually agreeable terms in line with our established priorities and objectives, and expected to significantly contribute to the advancement of fire operations.

We are pleased to announce the finalization of a three-year MOU between the City and GFFA/Local 776. This MOU will be effective from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027. It is important to note that while the MOU officially begins on July 1, 2024, the City will proactively increase its contributions to medical premiums from June 1, 2024 to match 87 of 253

those of other associations. This adjustment precedes a commitment to maintain a 50- 50 cost-sharing model for each subsequent benefit-plan-year.

This three-year agreement includes cost-of-living adjustments for all unit employees as follows:
•FY 24/25: 5% (effective July 1, 2024)

receive cash for the amount of leave the employee has accrued at the time of the cash out.

If an employee makes an irrevocable election to cash out vacation time off in the following calendar year and uses such leave in that subsequent year, the vacation or compensatory time off leave used will come from the leave the employee had earned prior to January 1 of the year the employee has elected to cash out vacation or compensatory time off.
