noted that the Mobility Element will be released next week and shared that the State has encouraged the City to move forward with the Environmental Justice Element, while acknowledging the complexity of both the Housing and Mobility Elements.

Councilmember Asatryan stated that recent community meetings have shifted from gathering input to debunking myths regarding the Land Use Element.

Councilmember Kassakhian left the meeting at 6:54 PM.

Councilmember Brotman voiced agreement with Councilmember Asatryan’s comments.

He also shared additional concerns regarding traffic and bike lane configurations.

Councilmember Asatryan responded to Councilmember Gharpetian’s remarks about Council votes and also addressed the Council’s support letters for AB 91 and the direction provided to staff. She then announced the Second Annual Women’s Equality Day Celebration, scheduled for Wednesday, September 10, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. in the historic Alex Theatre Courtyard, highlighting the panelists and agenda. She thanked Elena Bolbolian and Annette Ghazarian for their work in organizing the event.

Director Calvert stated that there is currently no set date for the close of the Housing Element comment period, and that it will remain open indefinitely. He confirmed that the public will be provided at least 30 days’ notice before the period closes. Mayor Najarian encouraged the public to submit comments through the City’s website to ensure both Council and staff are aware of community concerns. Director Calvert added that residents may also request public or community meetings by reaching out directly.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Authorization for the City Clerk to Set the Time, Date, and Place of a Public Hearing for the Conditional Vacation of a Portion of the First Alley Easterly of Central Avenue, Southerly of California Avenue, Westerly of Orange Street (Alley 239) for the proposed 236 N. Central Avenue Project, Vacation Case No. 192V

1. Motion Authorizing the City Clerk to Set a Public Hearing for the Subject Alley Vacation

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Item
Approved for September 9, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report requests Council’s authorization for the City Clerk to set a date for a public hearing to consider the conditional vacation of a portion of Alley 239 located south of California Avenue between Central Avenue and Orange Street to facilitate development of the 236 N. Central Avenue Project. The proposed project is an 8-story, 655,418 SF mixed-use building with 682 residential units (72 affordable). The vacation would allow the Project’s parking structure and amenity level deck to span through and across the alley.

RECOMMENDATION
Pass a motion authorizing the City Clerk to set a public hearing on October 21, 2025, for the subject alley vacation.

ANALYSIS
The Project site is 4.57 acres and includes two sites separated by California Avenue: (i) the 3.7-acre Mixed-Use Building Site bounded by California Avenue, Central Avenue, and Orange Street, and (ii) the 0.87-acre Potential Public Park Site located on the northwest corner of California Avenue and Orange Street.
20 of 348
2 4b
The Mixed-Use Building Site is bisected by Alley 239 and is developed with a three-story retail building formerly occupied by Sears (closed in March 2020), a three-level parking structure, and a small asphalt surface parking lot. The Project proposes to replace all existing improvements with a new 8-story, 655,418 SF mixed-use building on the MixedUse Building Site. The Project would include 682 residential units of which 72 units would be affordable to very low- and low-income households.

The developer has requested that the City process the vacation of the Subject Alley to accommodate redevelopment of the Mixed-Use Building Site. The vacation would allow the Project’s parking structure and amenity level deck to span through and across the alley.

Alley 239 is approximately 18 feet wide and 607.6 feet long, improved with asphaltic concrete pavement. It contains an 8-inch sanitary sewer mainline, an overhead power pole, and underground electrical conduit. The alley connects California Avenue at the north end to Wilson Avenue at the south.

The Applicant is proposing to vacate the northerly 403-foot portion of Alley 239. A new 20-foot-wide by 187-foot-long alley will be constructed at the Project’s southernmost property line running easterly and connecting to Orange Street. If the portion of Alley 239 is vacated, the underlying fee will revert to the fee owner of the Project site and will be incorporated into the Project. If the Project is not constructed, the alley will remain "as is" (conditional vacation).

All City departments, and various agencies and public utility companies have been notified of the proposed alley vacation and have advised the Public Works Department of their conditions or easements that may need to be reserved. This information will be included in a Resolution Ordering the Vacation to be considered at the public hearing.

On August 6, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed vacation and recommended approval by passing a motion finding consistency with the applicable goals and objectives of the Comprehensive General Plan of the City.

City Clerk authorization is requested to set a date for a public hearing to consider the conditional vacation of a portion of Alley 239 located south of California Avenue between Central Avenue and Orange Street to facilitate the development of the 236 N. Central Avenue Project.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
On June 30, 2025, budget trailer bills AB 130 and AB 131 were signed and took effect immediately. AB 130 added Public Resources Code Section 21080.66 creating a new statutory CEQA exemption for certain qualifying infill housing projects that meet the following criteria:
• Project site is no more than 20 acres.
• Project site is within the boundaries of an incorporated municipality, or "urban area" as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau.
• Project site was previously developed with "urban uses" or is substantially surrounded by sites developed with urban uses.
• Project is consistent with local zoning standards, applicable general plan standards and any applicable local coastal program, subject to deviations allowed by the State Density Bonus Law.
• Project must be at least half the density deemed appropriate to accommodate lower-income households in the State Housing Element Law, as set forth in Gov.

Code section 65583.2(c)(3)(B)
• Project will not require demolition of a historic structure that was placed on a historic register before the project's preliminary application was submitted. • For projects submitted after Jan. 1, 2025, no portion of the project will be used as a hotel, motel, or bed and breakfast.
• All project sites must satisfy SB 35's site eligibility criteria (farmland, wetlands and conservation/species habitat areas are excluded, and coastal sites, fire hazard zones, hazardous waste sites, earthquake fault zones and flood areas are subject to specified restrictions).

Staff has reviewed the Project and has determined that it meets the criteria and is statutorily exempt from CEQA review per Public Resources Code Section 21080.66.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE
This item is exempt from campaign disclosure requirements.

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION

1. The City Council may elect not to pass the motion as recommended herein. Denial of the motion to set a public hearing for the subject vacation would require the applicant to redesign the Project and resubmit the Project for City review.

2. The City Council may consider any other alternative not proposed by staff.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On June 30, 2025, budget trailer bills AB 130 and AB 131 were signed and took effect immediately. AB 130 added Public Resources Code Section 21080.66 creating a new statutory CEQA exemption for certain qualifying infill housing projects that meet the following criteria:
• Project site is no more than 20 acres.
• Project site is within the boundaries of an incorporated municipality, or "urban area" as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau.
• Project site was previously developed with "urban uses" or is substantially surrounded by sites developed with urban uses.
• Project is consistent with local zoning standards, applicable general plan standards and any applicable local coastal program, subject to deviations allowed by the State Density Bonus Law.
• Project must be at least half the density deemed appropriate to accommodate lower-income households in the State Housing Element Law, as set forth in Gov.

Staff has reviewed the project and has determined that it meets the criteria and is statutorily exempt from CEQA review per Public Resources Code Section 21080.66 28 of 348
4 ANALYSIS
The Planning Commission’s role is to make findings as to whether the proposed alley vacation will be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City of Glendale Comprehensive General Plan, pursuant to Chapters 2.68 and 12.24 of the City of Glendale Municipal Code, and State Government Code Section 65402.

Alley 239 is a straight alley, approximately 18 feet wide and 607.6 feet long, improved with asphaltic concrete pavement. It contains an 8-inch sanitary sewer mainline, an overhead power pole, and underground electrical conduit. The alley connects California Avenue at the north end to West Wilson Avenue at the south end, bisecting the project site. The applicant proposes to partially vacate approximately 403 feet of the northern portion of Alley 239. The proposed partial vacation of the subject alley will enable the connection of contiguous parcels for proposed Density Bonus and Design Review Board applications to construct a new 8-story, 655,418-square-foot mixed-use development on a 3.7-acre site comprising four parcels (APNs: 5642-015-045, 5642- 015-056, 5642-015-057, and 5642-015-058), addressed as 236 North Central Avenue.

The units and associated amenities will be dispersed within two separate buildings that are connected by a ground-level parking area and second-floor common open space traversing the former alley. Additionally, a new 20-foot wide by 187-foot long alley will be constructed at the southernmost property line of the project site, running westerly to North Orange Street. This new alley will maintain traffic circulation to North Orange Street
The partial vacation of the alley would be consistent with the applicable goals and objectives of the elements of City of Glendale Comprehensive General Plan. In accordance with GMC 12.24 (Street Vacations) and Government Code Section 65402, the proposed vacation of the public alley is in conformance with the City's General Plan, given that this portion of the alley is not needed for public purposes. The adjacent properties located to the south along Central and Orange Avenue will retain access from the remaining southerly portion of Alley 239. In addition, a new east-west alley connecting Alley 239 with Orange Street will be dedicated and constructed as part of the project.

The Project is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Element and DSP. The General Plan Land Use Element designation for the site is DSP. The Project is consistent with the DSP goal of concentrating growth in the downtown to relieve development pressure on existing residential neighborhoods. The Land Use Element Residential Goal #4 supports the creation of higher density residential development in those areas best suited from the standpoint of accessibility, current development, community organization, transportation and circulation facilities and economic feasibility. The Project meets these goals by providing 682 residential units in an area with abundant retail, commercial and entertainment uses within walking distance and convenient access to public transit.

The Project achieves certain goals and policies of the Housing Element. Housing Element Goal 1 sets the objective of a city with a wide range of housing types to meet the needs of current and future residents. Towards that goal Policy 1.3 promotes the dispersion of affordable housing throughout the City while recognizing the potential for the integration of market rate and affordable units within individual projects. Policy 1.4 29 of 348 5 encourages higher-density residential development in proximity to public transportation, jobs, services, and activity centers. Goal 3 sets the objective of a city with increased opportunities for affordable and special needs housing development. Specifically, Policy

3.2 promotes the development of extremely low, very low, low and moderate income housing by allowing developers density bonuses or other financial incentives for providing units for low and moderate income residents. As noted, the project includes a Bonus Density reserving 72 affordable units to very low- and low-income households that are interspersed with the project’s market-rate units. The Project is also located in the Orange-Central District of the downtown within walking distance of public transportation, jobs and services.

The Project implements goals of the Recreation Element and Community Facilities Elements. Policy #3 of the Recreation Element establishes that the City shall supplement existing park land assets via the development of an in-lieu fee structure for the acquisition and management of recreational land in connection with the development review process.

The Community Facilities Element contains the policy to preserve the high standards of library facilities in their educational and recreational roles. The Project is required to pay Development Impact Fees which will provide funding to Community Services and Parks’ and Library, Arts & Culture’s CIP programs, including developing new or rehabilitating existing parks and recreation facilities and libraries.

The Circulation Element Objective 2.1 encourages land use which can be supported within the capacity constraints of existing and realistic future infrastructure. The purpose of the alley vacation is to allow for the construction of a density bonus project with 666 residential units and 16 live/work units, featuring 67 affordable units restricted to very lowincome households and 5 affordable units restricted to low-income households. The project site is currently served by Central Avenue, California Avenue, and Orange Street.

According to the Circulation Element, Central Avenue is designated as a major arterial, while California Avenue and Orange Street are classified as urban collector streets. Major arterials are typically the widest streets in urban areas, with 4 to 6 lanes, and handle the highest traffic volumes. Designed for efficient travel across the city, they use traffic controls, restricted parking, and limited access points to keep traffic moving smoothly.

These roads connect to freeways, other arterials, neighborhood and community streets, business districts, and major destinations both within the city and in neighboring areas.

They also accommodate regional traffic, serve as truck routes, support high levels of public transit use, and are often considered for bike lanes or routes. Urban collectors are roads typically bordered by commercial, industrial, or multi-family residential properties.

They serve to channel traffic from local streets and direct it toward major or minor arterials.

While urban collectors carry fewer light trucks than minor arterials, these streets often function as transit routes and may also support bicycle lanes or routes. These roads are typically two lanes wide and may include on-street parking on one or both sides, or other roadway features such as center turn lanes, as determined by the city. Given the subject site is surrounded by a major arterial and urban collector streets, these streets can support the capacity of a larger scale project with 666 residential units and 16 live/work units. Provided that the project is consistent with the Land Use Element, complements the mix of existing commercial and residential uses surrounding the subject site, and is 30 of 348
6 currently supported by streets designed to handle the vehicular capacity of mixed use, the project is consistent with the Circulation Element.

RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Division recommends that the Planning Commission find that the proposed Alley Vacation Case No. 192V (Alley 239) is consistent with the City’s General Plan.

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Acceptance of Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act funds from the State of California, Employment Development Department and award of contracts to the Glendale Youth Alliance and the City of Burbank
Motion:

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for September 9, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The State of California, Employment Development Department awarded the Verdugo Workforce Development Board (VWDB) funding of $848,928 from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, to provide WIOA employment services to adults and youths in the Verdugo region. The VWDB receives WIOA funds on an annual basis.

From July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, upon City Council approval, the VWDB will award WIOA Youth grant funds to the Glendale Youth Alliance (GYA) in the amount of $703,428 to recruit, enroll, and provide work experience for twenty-four (24) In-School and sixty (60) Out-of-School Youth, as defined by the WIOA federal regulations. 39 of 348
4d 2
25-88634
From July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, upon City Council approval, the VWDB will award WIOA grant funds to the City of Burbank in the amount of $145,500 to operate the City of Burbank’s Job Connect from the Burbank Central Library as the affiliate site to the Verdugo Jobs Center (VJC) and provide general WIOA employment services to the public.

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council:
(1) Accept the WIOA funds in the amount of $848,928 from the State of California, Employment Development Department; and authorize the City Manager to enter into and execute all agreements, amendments, certifications, and documents necessary to accept and implement the funding; (2) Authorize the City Manager to enter into and execute a Contract with Glendale Youth Alliance in an amount not to exceed $703,428 from the WIOA federal grant for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026; and (3) Authorize the City Manager to enter into and execute a Contract with City of Burbank in an amount not to exceed $145,500 from the WIOA federal grant for the period of July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.

ANALYSIS
The Verdugo Consortium is a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) comprised of the cities of Glendale, Burbank, and La Cañada Flintridge. The Verdugo Workforce Development Board (VWDB) is the planning and policy body for the Consortium. Its purpose is to provide employment and training programs within the three cities and to allocate and award Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds toward its goals. Through the JPA, the City of Glendale (the City) has responsibility for the administration of all Consortium activities, including the execution of contracts with vendors to deliver workforce services. As the administrative entity for the Verdugo Consortium, the City Council on behalf of the City of Glendale approves all contracts and funding awards recommendations by the VWDB, which includes WIOA funds.

The VWDB receives federal WIOA grant funds to provide employment services to the public. These services include job preparation training, job exploration, workplace readiness skills training, work-based learning experiences, on-the-job training and skills training to name a few. The overall goal is to enhance regional economies by having a robust skilled workforce.

The WIOA funds from the State of California, Employment Development Department total $848,928 from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, to provide general WIOA services as well as WIOA Youth-In-School and Out-of-School services for youths ages 14 to 24, with up to 200 hours of paid work experience in placements that match the students’ interests 40 of 348

25-88634
and aptitudes.

The GYA has been operating year-round youth employment programs and summer employment programs since 1994 and has been operating WIOA youth employment programs since 2000. For the 2025-2026 program year, the VWDB has recommended awarding GYA with $703,428 in workforce funds to provide services to youth with multiple barriers in the Verdugo region. GYA will administer the work experience component of the program and provide case management services. GYA’s established business relationships with local employers will enable successful connection between employers and students.

The City of Burbank is a partner in the Verdugo Consortium. Although the Verdugo Jobs Center is the only comprehensive one-stop center in the Verdugo Consortium, in order to provide services more conveniently to the job seekers and employers in Burbank, the City of Burbank operates an affiliate site of the Verdugo Jobs Center from its Burbank main library location called Job Connect. The VWDB has recommended awarding the City of Burbank $145,500 for the 2025-2026 program year. These funds will be used to provide core workforce services to at least eighty (80) new clients per month, and Rapid Response assistance to local businesses that are experiencing major layoffs. The Burbank Affiliate site has been in operation since 2000, and has a proven track record of successfully serving Burbank job seekers and employers.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The VWDB is responsible for accepting awarded grants and providing initial approval to enter into contracts, prior to submission to City Council for approval. As such, this item was discussed at the public workforce board meeting held on June 25, 2025 where stakeholders were given the opportunity to participate and comment on this item. At this meeting, the Board approved the acceptance of the grant award as well as the contracts needed to perform the grant requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT
The funding for the WIOA grant totals $848,928, of which $703,428 will be used for the contract with the Glendale Youth Alliance and $145,500 for the contract with the City of Burbank. The grant award was already appropriated during the FY 25-26 budget process; therefore, no new appropriation is requested at this time. The City Council approved funding is outlined below:

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Acceptance of Youth@Work funds from the Los Angeles County, Department of Economic Opportunity and award of contract to Glendale Youth Alliance Motion:

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for September 9, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Verdugo Workforce Development Board (VWDB) has a long-standing history of designing and implementing workforce programs in the Verdugo Workforce Development Area, which consists of the cities of Glendale, Burbank and La Cañada Flintridge.

The Los Angeles County, Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) awarded the VWDB funding of $353,100 from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 to provide work experience and job preparation training for students under the Youth@Work program. The VWDB has received this funding for over a decade to support students with the most barriers to employment with work-based learning opportunities.

From July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, the VWDB will award Youth@Work grant funds to Glendale Youth Alliance (GYA) in the amount of $326,618 to recruit, enroll, and provide work experience for up to eighty-four (84) participants. 47 of 348
4e 2
25-88635

RECOMMENDATION
That City Council:
(1) Accept the Youth@Work funds from the Los Angeles County, Department of Economic Opportunity in the amount of $353,100; and authorize the City Manager to enter into and execute all agreements, amendments, certifications, and documents necessary to accept and implement the funding, subject to the approval by the City Attorney;
(2) Authorize the City Manager to enter into and execute a Contract with Glendale Youth Alliance in an amount not to exceed $326,618 from the Youth@Work grant for the period of July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, subject to the approval by the City Attorney.

The County of Los Angeles, Department of Economic Opportunity provides annual funding to the Los Angeles Basin Workforce Development Boards to provide summer and year-round youth employment programs for their respective workforce regions under the program Youth@Work. The Youth@Work Program has broader eligibility criteria for its participants than the WIOA federal youth funds and allows for greater participation of the youth in our region who are English Language Learners, Foster Youth, Homeless Youth, and Youth on Parole without the restrictions of income.

The Youth@Work grant funding for FY 2025-2026 is for $353,100, from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and will serve up to eighty-four participants ages 14 to 24, with up to 160 hours of paid work experience in placements that match the participants’ interests and aptitudes as well as personal enrichment training, requiring the program to have a Career Pathway focus.

GYA, the VWDB’s youth provider, will administer the work experience component of the program and receive $326,618 for staffing and operational expenses, including the administration of the youth payroll. Since 2000, GYA has been operating youth employment programs and has established business relationships with local employers which will enable successful connections between these employers and students to have a dynamic work base learning experience.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Amend Professional Services Agreement (PSA) for Preparation of Design and Construction Documents for Fremont Park Renovation Project

1. Motion authorizing an amendment to PSA No. C106224 with David Volz Design Landscaping Architects, increasing the contract amount by $35,000 for a total notto-exceed amount of $1,333,214.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Consent Calendar
Approved for September 9, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On May 20, 2025, the City Council approved an amendment to contract C106224 with David Volz Design Landscaping Architects (DVD) for project design services during the extended construction duration for the Fremont Park Renovation Project. Due to an error in the description of this contract in the staff report and approved motion, staff is unable to process this amendment. Therefore, a revised motion increasing the contract amount by $35,000 is needed with accurate financial terms of the existing contract stated, so that this PSA amendment may be processed and the associated project completed.

RECOMMENDATION
Pass a motion authorizing the City Manager to increase the amount of the PSA with DVD by $35,000 for additional project design consulting services related to the Fremont Park Renovation Project.

ANALYSIS
The Fremont Park Renovation Project is currently in the final stages of the construction phase and is expected to open in Fall 2025. The project includes a comprehensive renovation of this facility including the construction of a new community building, a new soccer field with LED lighting, new solar-covered parking canopies, and new irrigation and landscaping. DVD has been involved with this project throughout the design and construction phases providing project design support services.

On May 20, 2025, the City Council passed a motion authorizing an amendment to PSA C106224, increasing the contract amount by $35,000 for additional design support 55 of 348
4f 2
25-88692
services through the end of the construction phase. This amendment cannot be implemented because the staff report and motion both incorrectly indicated that the proposed amendment will increase the contract amount to a new not-to-exceed amount of $458,382. In actuality, the current amount of the PSA is $1,298,214, so the proposed amendment will increase the contract amount to $1,333,214.

The PSA with DVD is an older contract that was entered into prior to the City’s implementation of the Tyler Munis financial system in 2018. This contract was initiated by the Community Services and Parks Department for preliminary design services related to the project and eventually passed on to the Public Works Department when the construction phase was imminent. When contracts were transitioned from the City’s old financial system, the amounts of contracts entered at that time were only available balances and not the total contract amounts. Thus, the amount of this contract shown in the new financial system is less than its actual amount. When the May 20, 2025, staff report was prepared, staff referenced the contract amount shown in the new system.

There are still a few contracts more than seven years old that were transitioned from Peoplesoft to Tyler Munis. These contracts have distinct project numbers, which allows staff to differentiate them from contracts that were originally entered into the Tyler Munis system. Staff will be more aware of the peculiarity of older contract balances moving forward.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
None.

FISCAL IMPACT
The additional project design services for the Fremont Park Renovation Project will cost $35,000, which was approved as a part of the FY 2025-26 budget. No new appropriation is being requested at this time. The City Council approved funding is outlined below:

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Local Amendments to the California Building and Energy Code to require projects in single-family homes, duplexes and townhomes involving replacement or alteration (but not repair) of an existing air conditioning system or installation of new air conditioning systems to either include a heat pump space conditioner as the primary heating system, or install specific energy efficiency measures in addition to a new air conditioner

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Ordinance
Approved for September 9, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On August 19, 2025, the Council introduced an ordinance - based on modified CALGreen voluntary provisions—that would amend the 2022 Glendale Building and Safety Code to require projects in single-family homes, duplexes and townhomes involving replacement or alteration (but not repair) of an existing air condition system or installation of new air conditioning systems to either include a heat pump space conditioner as the primary heating system or install specific energy efficiency measures in addition to a new air conditioner. The ordinance would require installation of a heat pump as the primary heating source; or permit the gas furnace to be retained but require installation of additional energy-efficiency upgrades where an air conditioning system (not including repair of existing systems) is being replaced or added. 63 of 348
8a 2
25-88603

At its August 26, 2025 meeting, the Council deadlocked 2-2 on adopting a proposed ordinance. Because ordinances take 30 days to become effective, the ordinance cannot be in effect by the September 30, 2025 deadline set by A.B. 130, which prohibits local amendments to state building codes after that date unless certain exceptions apply. While this eliminates one pathway for adoption, the City may still proceed under the “General Plan Exception” in Health and Safety Code section 17958(b)(5), which allows amendments aligned with a general plan adopted before June 10, 2025 and that both permit mixed-fuel residential construction and incentivize electrification as part of a greenhouse gas reduction strategy. Glendale’s 2025 General Plan Safety Element and its Greener Glendale Plan support such findings, particularly for adopting an AC2HP reach code that enhances resilience, supports climate goals, and complies with federal law. Staff therefore recommends that instead of proceeding with the current ordinance, the Council direct staff to prepare a new ordinance with the required findings for adoption alongside the 2025 Building and Safety Code later in 2025.

RECOMMENDATION
That the Council direct staff to prepare an ordinance adopting local amendments to the California Building and Safety Code that make findings in accordance with Health and Safety Code section 17958(b)(5) – relating to the City’s General Plan – and present said ordinance for consideration in conjunction with the Council’s consideration of the adoption of the 2025 Glendale Building and Safety Code.

ANALYSIS
At the regular Council meeting of August 26, 2025, after deliberating the proposed ordinance, the Council voted 2-2 on the motion to adopt the ordinance, with Councilmember Kassakhian absent. Under the Charter (Article VI, Sec. 3), “any tie vote constitutes no action, and the matter shall be carried from agenda to agenda until the tie is broken, or the council determines to remove the item from the agenda.” Thus, the proposed ordinance is on the agenda for adoption as required by the Charter. Because the ordinance will not be in effect by September 30, 2025, however, staff does not recommend the Council adopt it as it will not satisfy A.B. 130.

As noted in the Report to Council dated August 12, 2025 (“August 12 Report” – Exhibit 1”), A.B. 130, urgency legislation adopted by the Legislature and approved by the Governor, local amendments to the State building codes are prohibited after September 30, 2025, unless they fall within certain exceptions set forth in AB 130. The ordinance with the local amendments was proposed to be in effect as of September 30 if they had been adopted at the August 26, 2025 meeting. Since an ordinance require 30 days to be effective the time to adopt local amendments to be in effect as of September 30, 2025 has passed.

There is an additional pathway to adopt local amendments to the California Building and Safety Code that is applicable to this particular set of proposed amendments. The August 12 Report discussed this option:
64 of 348
8a 3
25-88603
“Option 2: Adopt the 2025 Building Standards Code (or at least the Energy Code component) using the AB 130 exception (Health & Safety Code section 17958(b)(5)) that allows for changes or modifications that “are necessary to implement a local code amendment that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025, and that permits mixed-fuel residential construction consistent with federal law while also incentivizing all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy.” August 12 Report, p. 5.

The August 12 Report also discussed how the City could adopt local amendments to the 2025 Building Standards Code and/or Energy Code utilizing the exception in Health and Safety Code section 17958(b)(5) (the “General Plan Exception”). The Council can make “findings make findings in conjunction with the 2025 Building Standards Code adoption that the changes qualify for each of the three components of [the General Plan Exception] as follows:

1. The reach code will align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025. The City adopted the current Safety Element of the General Plan on April 1, 2025. The 2025 Safety Element, Policy 5-2: Building Resilience, specifically states that the City shall amend the building code to increase the resiliency of existing and new buildings, thereby protecting residents from the impacts of extreme heat and poor air quality. The 2025 Safety Element, Program 5-2.3, specifies that the City shall consider amending the building code to require all newly installed HVAC units for existing buildings to have two-way air conditioning unit capability to provide heating and cooling by the next CBC update cycle.

Adopting an AC2HP reach code is consistent with the 2025 General Plan Safety Element; it can help Glendale achieve its climate goals, improve public health, and modernize infrastructure.

2. The reach code is consistent with EPCA because it ‘permits mixed-fuel residential construction.’ In other words, compliance with the AC2HP reach code does not preclude a residential property owner from using natural gas, which was the issue in the Berkeley case. [Additionally, the ordinance does not require installation of the heat pump; compliance may also be achieved by installation of energy efficiency upgrades when installing, replacing or altering an air conditioning system but relying on a gas furnace for space heating.]

3. The reach code will incentivize all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy. The City adopted the Greener Glendale Plan in 2012. The Greener Glendale Plan has strategies to reduce GHGs which include reduction in citywide energy consumption by facilitating permitting and construction of alternative building structures, materials and site location; retrofitting existing development for increased energy and water efficiency, and promoting and supporting use of renewable energy. The AC2HP reach code are consistent with these strategies because they can reduce 65 of 348
8a 4
25-88603
greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuel-based heating systems with electric heat pumps. Staff has reviewed studies that show AC2HP upgrades increase efficiency and are cost-effective over the system's lifecycle, especially when factoring in utility incentives and future energy savings. Electrification also reduces fire hazards associated with gas lines and appliances, enhancing community resilience.” August 12 Report, pp. 6-7.

The August 12 Report recommended that the Council consider implementation of a two-pronged “belts and suspenders” approach to complying with A.B. 130 – (1) adopt a local code amendment that would be in effect “as of September 30, 2025” which could then be readopted as part of the 2025 pursuant to AB 130 and then also make findings for the 2025 local amendments that comply with the General Plan Exception. Although the time to pass the first prong has passed, the Council may make findings under the General Plan Exception to adopt amendments to the 2025 Building and Safety Code (when the time comes in the Fall of 2025). The ordinance introduced on August 19, 2025 does not contain the full breadth of this findings that should be made to implement a reach code that complies with the General Plan Exception. Thus, staff recommends that Council direct staff to bring back an ordinance for introduction with the findings under Health and Safety Code Section 17958(b)(5) at the time the staff brings back the 2025 Building and Safety Code for adoption.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Staff presented draft reach code language to the August 7, 2025, Sustainability Commission meeting and received recommendations and direction from the Commission.

Staff provided a copy of the reach code model language to the Community Development Building Official and the GWP Clean Energy Officer in June 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The proposed Ordinance will be exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§15000, et seq., "CEQA"), and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines") because it will consist of revisions and clarifications to an existing code of construction-related regulations and specification of procedures related thereto being taken for enhanced protection of the environment and while there may be added infrastructure resulting from the implementation of the Reach Codes, it does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment; to the contrary, the transition from fossil fuel sources is part of the State of California’s overall plan to decrease GHG emissions from stationery and transportation sources. Adoption of the Ordinance is categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15305 as a minor alteration in land use limitations which do not result in any changes in land use or density and is exempt under CEQA Guidelines §15308 as an action taken by a regulatory agency as 66 of 348
8a 5
25-88603
authorized by California law to assure maintenance or protection of the environment.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1) Adopt the Ordinance Amending the Glendale Building and Safety Code, Volume IX, to Adopt Local Amendments to the 2025 Edition of the California Building and Energy Code as introduced. However, the ordinance will have no legal effect as it will not comply with A.B. 130.
2) The City Council may consider any alternates not presented by staff.

The City Council declares that it would have passed the remainder of this Ordinance without the invalid or unconstitutional provision.

SECTION 5. CEQA Findings.

The City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§15000, et seq., "CEQA"), and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines") because it consists of revisions and clarifications to an existing code of construction-related regulations and specification of procedures related thereto being taken for enhanced protection of the environment and while there may be added infrastructure resulting from the implementation of the Reach Codes, it does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment; to the contrary, the transition from fossil fuel sources is part of the State of California’s overall plan to decrease GHG emissions from stationary and transportation sources. Adoption of the Ordinance is categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15305 as a minor alteration in land use limitations which do not result in any changes in land use or density and is exempt under CEQA Guidelines §15308 as an action taken by a regulatory agency as authorized by California law to assure maintenance or protection of the environment.

SECTION 6. Effective Date.

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

SECTION 7. Certification.

The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City’s book of original ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

Local climactic, geological or topographical conditions

1. Reach Code requiring AC2HP Replacement
Finding No. 1: Climactic:

The burning of fossil fuels used to heat structures, heat water for cooking, and for other uses is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

Combustion of natural gas and petroleum products for heating and cooking emit carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Emissions from natural gas consumption represented 46% of total annual U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions in 20211. Scientists attribute the global warming trend observed since the mid-20th century to the human expansion of the ‘greenhouse effect’ warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth towards space. Long lived gasses such as carbon dioxide can persist in the atmosphere for more than 100 years, even with efforts to reduce emissions today. Nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane are gases that contribute to the greenhouse gas effect2.

Global climate change imposes substantial local impacts and risks on the Los Angeles Area, and thus the City of Glendale, including rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns and amounts, sea level rise, flooding, drought, and wildfire. A general summary of climate risks facing the Los Angeles Area and City of Glendale are as follows:
• Increased temperatures and extreme heat events. The Los Angeles region is expected to experience an increase in average maximum temperatures of 4-5 degrees Fahrenheit by mid-century, and 5-8 degrees Fahrenheit by late-century, with the duration and intensity of extreme heat events increasing as well. • Changes in Rainfall Intensity. By mid-century, more precipitation is projected to occur in winter in the form of less frequent but larger events. Most climate models predict drying trends across the State by 2100.
• Increased Risk of Large Wildfires. A hotter, drier climate is projected to increase wildfires across southern California, though there remains some uncertainty in quantifying future changes of burned area in the region. • Exacerbation of Air Quality Problems. If temperatures rise to the medium warming range, there could be 75% to 85% more days with weather conducive to ozone formation, relative to today’s conditions. This is more than twice the increase expected if rising temperatures remain in the lower warming range. This 1 U.S. Energy Information Administration, Where Greenhouse Gases Come From, 2021. https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/energy-and-the-environment/where-greenhouse-gases-comefrom.php#:~:text=In%202021%2C%20petroleum%20accounted%20for,energy%2Drelated%20CO2%20emissions. 2 NASA, Causes of Climate Change, as of November 25, 2020, https://climate.nasa.gov/causes/. 4 NASA, Causes of Climate Change, as of November 25, 2020, https://climate.nasa.gov/causes/. 78 of 348
10 increase in air quality problems could result in an increase in asthma and other health-related problems.
• Sea Level Rise. 1-2 feet of sea level rise is projected by the mid-century, and most extreme projections lead to 8-10 feet by the end of the century, especially affecting LA County as a whole5.

An AC2HP program has a significant positive effect on energy resource efficiency, waste and pollution generation, and the health of building occupants over the life of the building. As a result of the high temperatures, which are expected to rise in the future due to the effects of climate change, average load demand and peak load demand of energy used in Glendale are important factors impacting public safety and creating the potential for adverse economic impacts due to power outages or power reductions (i.e. “brownouts”). Reduction of total and peak energy use because of incremental conservation measures required by this Ordinance will have local benefits in the additional available system energy capacity. Furthermore, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from all-electric buildings will help mitigate climate change and its negative effects such as extreme heat, droughts, intense storms, and flooding, thus making these amendments reasonably necessary because of local climactic reasons.

Finding No. 2: Geologic
• The Los Angeles area is densely populated and located in an area of high seismic activities. Concern for fire-life safety associated with gas appliances and associated piping located in the ground and in buildings increases with the risk of explosion or fire if there is a structural failure due to a seismic event considering the increasing number of buildings in the region. • The risk of natural gas infrastructure and pipeline explosions and fires are magnified in cases of major earthquakes, for example, the 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion.
o Severe seismic events could disrupt communications, damage gas mains, and place increased demands on the dispersed resources of the Fire Department necessary for the life safety needs of the community
• Reducing gas infrastructure in existing single family units will also reduce the risks of fires and explosions, particularly after seismic events, which will further save the City money by reducing disaster response and recovery costs
The elimination of gas infrastructure in future construction will reduce risk of geologic risk via natural gas infrastructure, making these amendments necessary because of local geologic/ seismic reasons.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Residential Air Conditioner to Heat Pump Replacement (AC2HP) Reach Code.

1. Motion directing staff to prepare and return to introduce a reach code for existing single-family buildings that would require installation of a heat pump as the primary heating source, or other energy conservation improvements, in cases where an existing air conditioning system is altered or replaced, or where an air conditioning system is added.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for August 12, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Glendale has developed and implemented a series of “Reach Codes” designed to advance building electrification, photovoltaic (PV) deployment, and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. These codes go beyond minimum state requirements and aim to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improve public health, and modernize building systems.

In 2022, Glendale adopted Reach Codes requiring all-electric construction for new buildings, including ADUs, with limited exemptions; PV systems for new non-residential and multifamily buildings; and EV charging infrastructure for a range of new residential and non-residential construction.

However, due to a 2023 federal court decision striking down Berkeley’s natural gas ban for violating the federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), Glendale suspended enforcement of the all-electric new construction requirement in June 2024 while continuing to enforce PV and EV provisions. In April 2025, the City Council directed staff to evaluate a new reach code referred to as the Air Conditioner to Heat Pump (AC2HP) Reach Code applicable to existing single-family homes. 80 of 348
9c 2
25-88496
This proposed reach code specifies that when an air conditioning (AC) system is replaced or added, the homeowner must either:

1. Install a heat pump as the primary heating source; or

2. Implement alternative energy conservation upgrades, such as improved insulation, air sealing, and duct sealing.

The proposed reach code would not preclude mixed-fuel residential construction in violation of federal law.

Legal and Timing Considerations
Due to the passage of AB 130 in June 2025, commencing on September 30, 2025, AB 130 limits cities and counties from adopting local amendments (such as this reach code) to the residential building code through 2031, except under certain limited conditions. In light of these limitations, cities seeking to implement reach codes have the option of amending the existing 2022 Building Standards Code to add the new reach code before September 30, 2025, and later include the reach code in the 2025 Building Standards Code being adopted later this year based on the reach code being “substantially equivalent” to prior changes that were “in effect” as of September 30, 2025.

The second option is to include the proposed reach code in the 2025 Building Standards Code adoption process scheduled to occur before the end of 2025. The second option requires the City to show that the proposed changes are: i) “necessary to implement a local code amendment that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025”, ii) that “permits mixed fuel residential construction consistent with federal law”, e.g. compliance with the federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and iii) incentivizes “all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy”.

Since AB 130 is new law, both these options are based on our current understanding of AB 130, but are untested. With respect to Option 1 (amending the 2022 Building Standards Code), there is time to introduce and adopt the reach code by August 26, 2025; however, if the reach code is scheduled for adoption after August 30, 2025, it would need to be adopted on an urgency basis in order to be effective before September 30, 2025.

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council direct staff to prepare and introduce a reach code for existing singlefamily homes that would require installation of a heat pump as the primary heating source, or other energy conservation improvements, in cases where an existing air conditioning system is altered or replaced, or where an air conditioning system is added.

ANALYSIS
In 2022, the City hired Rincon Consultants to develop building electrification, photovoltaic (PV), and electric vehicle (EV) charging Reach Codes, which were adopted through a local amendment to the 2022 California Building and Energy Code.

The reach codes required the following:

1. Building Electrification: All new construction (including standalone accessory dwelling units (ADUs)) must be all-electric with limited exemptions and subject to an infeasibility waiver.

2. PV Infrastructure: Require non-residential and multifamily PV systems to be installed on all new buildings to offset 100 percent of projected electricity use or cover at least 50 percent of rooftop space and include an infeasibility waiver for projects unable to meet the requirement due to shading or other technical constraints.

3. EV Charging Infrastructure: Require EV charging infrastructure for new singleand multifamily dwellings, townhouses with attached private garages, multifamily dwellings with residential parking facilities, and new non-residential construction, with limited exceptions and subject to an infeasibility waiver.

At the November 1, 2022, City Council meeting, the ordinance was introduced with modifications to specific definitions and the EV infeasibility waiver process. The City Council subsequently adopted the Reach Code ordinance on November 15, 2022.

In 2019, the California Restaurant Association (CRA) sued the City of Berkeley over its ordinance banning the use of fuel gas piping in new buildings. A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Federal Appeals Court struck down Berkeley's ordinance in April 2023, agreeing with the CRA that the city overstepped the federal Energy and Policy Conservation Act when it passed the ban in 2019.

In 2024, the 9th Circuit declined to reconsider the decision rejecting the Berkeley, California, natural gas ban. As a result, several Cities that had natural gas bans or ordinances for new construction either halted the enforcement of the ordinance, considered alternatives, or continued with enforcement. 82 of 348
9c 4
25-88496
In response to the 9th Circuit's decision, on June 4, 2024, the City Council directed staff to suspend enforcement of those portions of Ordinance No. 5999 that require all newly constructed buildings in Glendale to be "All-Electric." All other provisions of Ordinance No. 5999, including but not limited to those pertaining to photovoltaic requirements and EV charging, as well as all requirements in the California Building Code and/or the California Energy Code regarding electric readiness, continue to be enforced.

In April 2025, the City Council requested that staff prepare a report on the potential for adopting a reach code that requires installation of either a heat pump as the primary heating source or make other energy conservation improvements for existing singlefamily buildings in which an existing air conditioning system is altered or replaced, or where an air conditioning system is added.

State Law Requirements
The California Building Standards Code (CBSC), also known as Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, is a comprehensive set of regulations that govern building design and construction in California (“Title 24”). It encompasses various parts that address different aspects, including building, residential, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, energy, fire, and green building standards. The CBSC is periodically updated, with the 2025 edition published on July 1, 2025, and effective January 1, 2026.

The code proposed by the State, or the base code, includes several provisions related to energy efficiency and electrification readiness for new single-family residential construction that will take effect regardless of any action by the City. These include:
 Heat pumps for space conditioning and water heating
 Solar requirements;
 Battery readiness;
 Electric vehicle (EV) charging readiness;
 Pre-wiring for electric appliances when installing gas; and  Higher minimum energy performance scores.

The California Health and Safety Code enables local jurisdictions to modify the base code and adopt different or more restrictive requirements with the caveat that the local modifications must be substantially equivalent to, or more stringent than, the building standards published in the CBSC; the local jurisdiction is required to make findings that such changes are reasonably necessary because of local geological, climatic or topographic conditions; and adopt a determination that the amendments will be costeffective. 83 of 348
9c 5
25-88496
Newly adopted State legislation (AB 130) and Critical Timing Impacting Adoption of Local Reach Code Amendments to the Residential Building Code On June 30, 2025, the Legislature adopted, and the Governor signed into law, Assembly Bill (AB) 130 (formerly AB 306); AB 130 became immediately effective.

Among other things, AB 130 restricts local jurisdictions from adopting local amendments to the residential building code for the next two code cycles, between October 1, 2025, and June 1, 2031, subject to six (6) limited exceptions, including changes related to home hardening and health safety, or where the changes are “substantially equivalent” to changes previously adopted that “were in effect” as of September 30, 2025, or where there is consistency with certain general plan policies.

The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the various implications of AB 130, including on how the City may proceed with adopting an AC2HP reach code. As indicated above, the City may as part of the 2025 Building Standards Code adopt a reach code that encourages the use of a heat pump or dual-fuel system, which includes a heat pump combined with a furnace, when an air conditioner is replaced or installed in existing single-family homes if the proposed local changes are “substantially equivalent to changes or modification that were previously filed [with the California Building Standards Commission] by the governing body of the city or county and were in effect as of September 30, 2025” (Emphasis added).(AB 130, Section 29, amending Health & Safety Code §17958(b)(1)). However, to meet the “substantially equivalent” standard, the City would first need to amend the existing 2022 Building Standards Code as follows:

Option 1: Amend the existing 2022 Building Standards Code to add the reach code so that it “will be in effect” before September 30, 2025. Then, when the City adopts the 2025 Building Standards Code later this year, the City can use an AB 130, exception (Health & Safety Code section 17958(b)(1)) to adopt the reach code as part of the 2025 Building Standards Code (Energy Code component) with a finding that “substantially equivalent” to the one in effect before September 30, 2025. (Exception No. 1)
Option 2: Adopt the 2025 Building Standards Code (or at least the Energy Code component) using the AB 130 exception (Health & Safety Code section 17958(b)(5)) that allows for changes or modifications that “are necessary to implement a local code amendment that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025, and that permits mixed-fuel residential construction consistent with federal law while also incentivizing all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy.” (Exception No. 5) 84 of 348
9c 6
25-88496
It is important to note that the reach code would be submitted simultaneously to both the CEC and CBSC. The reach code could not be enforced until CEC and CBSC approval is obtained. Typically, the California Energy Commission (CEC) would review and approve proposed amendments before they are submitted to the CBSC for review and approval. However, there is no statutory requirement that local energy standards must be first filed with and approved by the CEC, and there are no statutory regulations that appear to preclude filing the proposed local changes with the CEC and CBSC at the same time. Importantly, CBSC “approval” is not required in order for the CEC approved local changes to become effective, but the CBSC approval is required before the local jurisdiction can enforce the new local standards.

The AC2HP Reach Code Could Comply with two of the AB 130 Exceptions A “belt and suspenders” approach would be to amend the 2022 Building Standards Code to include the new reach code and “readopt” the reach codes as part of the 2025 Building Standards Code based on the “substantially equivalent” finding (Exception No. 1 discussed above), and also make findings in conjunction with the 2025 Building Standards Code adoption that the changes qualify for each of the three components of Exception No. 5 as follows:

2. The reach code is consistent with EPCA because it “permits mixed-fuel residential construction”. In other words, compliance with the AC2HP reach code does not preclude a residential property owner from using natural gas, which was the issue in the Berkeley case.

3. The reach code will incentivize all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy. The City adopted the Greener Glendale Plan in 2012. The Greener Glendale Plan has strategies to reduce GHGs which include reduction in citywide energy consumption by facilitating permitting and construction of alternative building structures, materials and site 85 of 348

location; retrofitting existing development for increased energy and water efficiency, and promoting and supporting use of renewable energy. The AC2HP reach code are consistent with these strategies because they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing fossil fuel-based heating systems with electric heat pumps. Staff has reviewed studies that show AC2HP upgrades increase efficiency and are cost-effective over the system's lifecycle, especially when factoring in utility incentives and future energy savings. Electrification also reduces fire hazards associated with gas lines and appliances, enhancing community resilience.

How AC2HP works: Basic Principle
A two-way heat pump operates on the principle of the refrigeration cycle, utilizing a compressor, expansion valve, refrigerant, and two heat exchangers (one located indoors and one outdoors). It operates in two modes:

Cooling Mode (like an air conditioner)

1. Indoor Air is Warm: Warm indoor air is blown over the indoor coil, where the refrigerant absorbs heat.

2. Refrigerant is Compressed: The refrigerant is then compressed, raising its temperature and pressure.

3. Heat is Released Outside: The hot refrigerant travels to the outdoor coil, where it releases heat into the outdoor air.

4. Cooled Air Returned Indoors: The refrigerant cools down, flows back indoors, and the cycle repeats.

Result: Heat is removed from the inside and expelled outdoors, cooling a home.

Heating Mode (reverse operation). A reversing valve flips the direction of refrigerant flow.

1. Outdoor Air is Cool. Even in cold air, there's thermal energy. The refrigerant in the outdoor coil absorbs this heat.

2. Refrigerant is Compressed: The refrigerant is compressed, causing a significant increase in its temperature.

3. Heat is Released Indoors: The hot refrigerant flows to the indoor coil, releasing its heat to warm your home.

4. Cycle Repeats: Cooled refrigerant flows back outside to pick up more heat.

Result: Heat is extracted from outdoor air and transferred indoors, heating a home. 86 of 348

Key Components
 Compressor: Pressurizes the refrigerant to move heat.  Reversing Valve: Switches the direction of refrigerant flow between heating and cooling modes.
 Expansion Valve: Reduces refrigerant pressure before it enters the evaporator coil.
 Coils: Act as evaporators or condensers depending on the mode.

Ordinance Pathways
The ordinance structure is based on the voluntary requirements adopted in 2025 Title 24, Part 11, California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), Section A4.204.1.1 for heat pump space conditioning alterations in single-family homes (California Energy Commission, 2025). The heat pump path requires the heat pump as the primary heat source, with backup heating allowable, either provided by electric resistance or natural gas. In cases where the existing furnace remains, the heat pump is installed alongside the existing furnace, with integrated controls that allow the furnace to provide backup heating. In alignment with the 2025 Energy Code requirements, the heat pump must be sized to meet the heating load at the design heating temperature without requiring backup heat. The proposed ordinance provides alternative pathways for residents who prefer to replace their air conditioner with similar equipment, combined with additional efficiency measures, rather than migrating to a heat pump system.

The proposed ordinance applies to existing single-family homes and triggers when:

1. An existing A/C system is altered or replaced, or

2. A new air conditioning (A/C) system is installed where none previously existed. 87 of 348
9c 9
25-88496
Projects meeting these criteria must either:

1. Install a heat pump system as the primary source of space heating, OR

2. Implement a set of alternative energy conservation measures, such as:
a. Sealing ductwork to limit air leakage
b. Establish Airflow requirements
c. Improving ceiling insulation (e.g., to R-49)
d. Performing refrigerant charge verification
e. Air sealing the building envelope
f. Installing energy-efficient fan systems and thermostats Exceptions are provided for circumstances such as:
 Insufficient electrical panel capacity to support heat pump installation  Oversized heating load that cannot be reasonably met with a heat pump  Existing hazards such as asbestos or knob-and-tube wiring AC Pathways for Heat Pump Replacements
Figure 1 illustrates two AC pathways: one with an existing duct system and another with a new duct system, alongside the heat pump pathways. The figure presents the proposed efficiency upgrade measures that would be part of a reach code (solid blue) along with the relevant requirements from Title 24, Part 6 that are triggered as part of equipment replacements (white or gradient blue). A reach code that establishes requirements when an air conditioner is replaced or a new one is installed could allow for either a heat pump to be installed or an AC, as long as the performance measures listed below are met.

Costs
The California Codes and Standards (C&S) Reach Codes program, also known as the Local Energy Codes program, provides technical support to local governments considering adopting a local ordinance (reach code) intended to support meeting local and/or statewide energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. The program facilitates adoption and implementation of the code when requested by local jurisdictions by providing resources such as cost-effectiveness studies, model language, sample findings, and other supporting documentation.

These studies aim to ensure that the requirements do not result in buildings consuming more energy than permitted by the State's minimum standards. The analysis includes scenarios of compliance packages, options, and cost-effectiveness for all California climate zones. It evaluates building prototypes to assess the cost-effectiveness of proposed changes to Title 24 requirements. Staff have provided the Local Energy Codes team with the GWP residential electric rates, L-1-A Standard Service Rates, to undertake a cost-effectiveness study.

Cost Effective Study Results
The study (exhibit 1) analyzes the cost-effectiveness of heat pump space heater measure upgrades in existing single-family buildings that exceed the minimum state requirements under the 2025 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. 89 of 348
9c 11
25-88496
The Local Energy Codes Team assessed the incremental costs and savings of the packages over the lifecycle of 30-years. Incremental costs represent the equipment, installation, replacement, and maintenance costs of the proposed measure relative to the 2025 Energy Code minimum requirements or standard industry practices. The following scenarios were evaluated.

1. Dual Fuel Heat Pump (DFHP Existing Furnace): Replace existing ducted AC with an electric heat pump and install controls to operate the heat pump as the primary space conditioning source and to use the existing gas furnace (78 AFUE) for backup heat when heating demands cannot be met by the heat pump. In this report, dual fuel heat pumps were modeled to disable furnace operation above an outdoor temperature of 35°F in compliance with Energy Code Section 150.0(h)7, which requires this lockout for any heat pump with supplemental heating.

2. HPSH: Replace existing ducted AC and natural gas furnace with an electric heat pump and air handler. Minimum federal efficiency.

3. High Efficiency HPSH: Replace existing ducted AC and natural gas furnace with an electric heat pump and air handler. Higher efficiency.

The primary objective of the evaluation is to identify cost-effective energy upgrade measures at the time of air conditioner replacement in single family buildings, to support the design of local ordinances requiring upgrades, which may be triggered by different events, such as at the time of a significant remodel or at burnout of mechanical equipment. Table 10 shows the analysis results for Climate Zone 9 for the standard rate L-1-A rate.

Results Summary
This analysis evaluated the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of heat pump upgrades at time of air conditioner replacement in GWP territory for homes built before 2010. The Statewide Reach Codes Team used both On-Bill and LSC-based LCC approaches to evaluate cost-effectiveness and quantify the energy cost savings associated with 90 of 348
9c 12
25-88496
energy efficiency measures compared to the incremental costs associated with the measures.

Conclusions and Discussion:
 The heat pump installation alongside the existing furnace (DFHP Existing Furnace) was found to be cost-effective under the high gas escalation and LSC cost-effective in all vintages.
 The complete heat pump system installation (heat pump and air handler – HPSH) was found to be cost-effective under the high gas escalation and LSC cost-effective in all vintages.
 The complete heat pump system installation with high efficiency heat pump was found to be cost-effective under the high gas escalation in the pre-1978 vintage and LSC cost-effective in all vintages, with exception to the 1992-2010 vintage.  Under the modest gas escalation scenario, only the DFHP Existing Furnace in the 1978-1991 and 1992-2010 vintages were found to be cost-effective.  Challenges to On-Bill cost-effectiveness include higher first costs and higher firstyear utility costs due to higher electricity tariffs relative to gas tariffs. However, On-Bill cost-effectiveness improves under GWP rates compared to SCE rates, primarily because GWP electricity rates are lower.

Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions Impacts
Assumptions: CA grid average emissions (0.25 kg CO₂/kWh), natural gas (5.3 kg CO₂/therm), usage based on average SFH demand.

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Introduction of an Ordinance of the City of Glendale, California, Amending the Glendale Building and Safety Code Volume IX to Adopt Local Amendments to the 2022 Edition of the California Building and Energy Code to require projects in single-family homes, duplexes and townhomes involving replacement or alteration (but not repair) of an existing air conditioning system or installation of new air conditioning systems must either include a heat pump space conditioner as the primary heating system, or install specific energy efficiency measures in addition to a new air conditioner.

1. Introduction of Ordinance

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for August 19, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2022, Glendale adopted local Reach Codes requiring all-electric new construction, photovoltaic (PV) systems, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Following a 2023 court ruling overturning Berkeley’s natural gas ban, the City suspended enforcement of the all-electric requirement in June 2024 but continued PV, EV, and electric-readiness provisions.

In April 2025, the City Council began exploring an Air Conditioner to Heat Pump (AC2HP) Reach Code for existing single-family homes, duplexes, and townhomes. On August 12, 2025, Council directed staff to introduce an ordinance based on modified CALGreen voluntary provisions—that would require installation of a heat pump as the primary heating source; or permit the gas furnace to be retained, but require installation of additional energy-efficiency upgrades where an air conditioning system (not including repair of existing systems) is being replaced or added. The ordinance aims to reduce 94 of 348
9a 2
25-88603
greenhouse gas emissions by promoting high-efficiency heat pump technology and aligns with state climate goals, the City’s General Plan Safety Element, recently adopted Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), and the City’s Greener Glendale Plan. Compliance requirements vary depending on whether existing ducts are reused or replaced, with specific duct sealing, airflow, and insulation standards.

Further, the Council also requested staff develop a heat pump rebate program with direct payments to eligible residents (as opposed to utility bill statement credits)—designed to cover the cost difference between a heat pump and a standard air conditioner replacement, and that the rebate program be considered together with adoption of the reach code ordinance.

RECOMMENDATION
The City Council introduce an ordinance amending the Glendale Building and Safety Code, Volume IX, to include local reach code amendments to the 2022 Edition of the California Building Energy Code pertaining to heat pumps.

ANALYSIS
In 2022, Glendale adopted local Reach Codes covering building electrification, photovoltaic (PV) systems, and electric vehicle (EV) charging through amendments to the 2022 California Building and Energy Code. These required all-electric new construction (with limited waivers), PV installations for most non-residential and multifamily buildings, and EV charging infrastructure in most new developments.

Following a 2023 federal court ruling striking down Berkeley’s natural gas ban, Glendale’s City Council suspended enforcement of its all-electric new construction requirement in June 2024 but continued enforcing PV, EV, and electric-readiness provisions. In April 2025, Council directed staff to explore a new Air Conditioner to Heat Pump (AC2HP) Reach Code requiring heat pumps or other energy-efficiency upgrades in existing single-family homes when air conditioning systems are installed or replaced.

At the City Council meeting of August 12, 2025, City Council directed staff to introduce an AC2HP Reach Code (Exhibit 1) in accordance with the CalGreen voluntary code provisions for existing single-family buildings (houses, duplexes and townhomes) that would require installation of a heat pump as the primary heating source, or other energy conservation improvements, in cases where an existing air conditioning system is altered or replaced, or where an air conditioning system is added, and which clarifies that the ordinance does not apply to an air conditioning system repair.

Additionally, Council directed Glendale Water and Power staff to bring a heat pump rebate program to the City Council for consideration at the time of adoption of the reach code ordinance, and that such rebate program be (i) based on direct payment to qualified residents as opposed to a bill credit, and (ii) that the rebate address the cost 95 of 348
9a 3
25-88603
differential between a standard heat pump replacement and an air conditioner replacement.

Proposed Ordinance
The proposed ordinance would amend the 2022 California Energy Code, Title 24, Part 6, as adopted, amended and codified under Glendale Building and Safety Code Volume IX to include, as mandatory, an amended version of the voluntary requirements of the 2025 Title 24, Part 11 California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), Section A4.204.1.1 for heat pump space conditioning alterations in single family homes.

CALGreen includes both mandatory and voluntary measures. Jurisdictions may adopt the voluntary measures as mandatory requirements. If the requirements affect the California Energy Code, as the proposed ordinance does, they must be found to be cost effective and must require that buildings be designed to use less energy than the standard California Energy Code. The attached study commissioned by the California Codes and Standards Program (Exhibit 2) has found that the proposed requirements are cost effective and will result in a reduction in Long-Term System Cost (LSC) energy relative to the existing building.

Staff has proposed a modified version of the CALGreen Code that would encourage the installation of a heat pump space conditioning system at the time an air conditioner is replaced or added to an existing home. The proposed ordinance is based on the CALGreen code but has been modified to facilitate implementation. As proposed, a project may comply with the ordinance by either installing a heat pump space conditioner and no other measures other than those that are required under the California Energy Code, or maintain a gas furnace as the primary heating source and install additional energy efficiency measures above what is required under the California Energy Code.

There are several different ways a project could comply. The simplest way would be to install a heat pump (an air conditioner that is also configured to function as a space heater). This could be done either by replacing the furnace with a heat pump system (with or without a furnace) to serve as the air handler for the heat pump, and as a backup heating system. California Energy Code requirements would apply; these vary depending upon whether the duct system is replaced at the same time.

Alternatively, a project could comply by installing an air conditioner but rely on a gas furnace for space heating. Again, certain California Energy Code requirements would apply when replacing an air conditioner. In addition, this alternative would require other energy efficiency measures.

Table 1 presents compliance requirements for heat pump systems under two scenarios, one using the existing ducts, the other with new ducts. Table 2 presents compliance 96 of 348
9a 4
25-88603
requirements for systems that still use furnaces as the primary heating source, under the same duct scenarios.

Impacts
There are some incremental costs associated with converting to a heat pump, but these costs are offset by utility bill savings over the lifetime of the equipment and the initial investment differential will be incentivized through the GWP rebate program. From a 97 of 348
9a 5
25-88603
societal perspective, the incremental costs are more than offset by the savings that accrue to all utility billpayers (e.g., reductions in utility infrastructure costs). The incremental cost, that is the amount over what would otherwise be needed to just replace the air conditioner and comply with the 2025 California Energy Code, depends on whether the furnace is replaced at the same time as the air conditioner. The lifetime of a furnace and air conditioner are about the same, 10-15 years, so it often makes economic sense to replace both if the furnace is near the end of its life. In this scenario, the cost of the furnace replacement is assumed as part of the base project cost.

Alternatively, a heat pump could be configured to operate as the primary heating source using the air handler in the existing furnace and using the furnace for supplemental heating on very cold days.

The costs may be offset by federal tax credits in the amount of 30% off total project costs up to $2,000. Additionally, Glendale Water and Power staff are bringing a heat pump rebate program to the City Council for consideration at the time of adoption of the reach code ordinance. The heat pump rebate program will be presented to City Council August 26, 2025, to consider with the adoption of the AC2HP Reach Code.

In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, heat pumps can provide significant reductions.

This is because heat pumps are far more efficient than gas furnaces (and electric resistance heat) and because an ever-increasing amount of electricity in California is derived from low-carbon energy sources.

Exceptions
The proposed Ordinance offers two general exceptions. The first is for situations where the electrical panel capacity is insufficient to meet the load of a heat pump. The second is where the heat pump would need to be sized more than 12,000 Btu/hr (1 ton) over the air conditioner that would be installed in order to meet the heating load. This exception would pertain to colder California climate zones and would not be normally utilized in Glendale. There are also exceptions in the proposed ordinance to the duct sealing and airflow requirements that specify alternative methods of compliance. All applicable exceptions in the California Energy Code also apply.

Newly adopted State legislation (AB 130) and Critical Timing Impacting Adoption of Local Reach Code Amendments to the Residential Building Code On June 30, 2025, the Legislature adopted, and the Governor signed into law, Assembly Bill (AB) 130 (formerly AB 306); AB 130 became immediately effective.

Among other things, AB 130 restricts local jurisdictions from adopting local amendments to the residential building code for the next two code cycles, between October 1, 2025, 98 of 348
9a 6
25-88603
and June 1, 2031, subject to limited exceptions, including changes related to home hardening and health safety.

Staff has evaluated the various implications of AB 130, including on how the City may proceed with adopting an AC2HP reach code before the October 1, 2025 restrictions take effect. AB 130 allows the City to adopt a reach code that encourages the use of a heat pump or dual-fuel system (a heat pump combined with a furnace), when an air conditioner is replaced or installed in existing single-family homes, duplexes or townhomes if the proposed local changes are “substantially equivalent to changes or modification that were previously filed [with the California Building Standards Commission] by the governing body of the city or county and were in effect as of September 30, 2025” (Emphasis added).(AB 130, Section 29, amending Health & Safety Code §17958(b)(1) “Exception 1”). Compliance with this provision entails adopting a reach code in sufficient time to take effect before September 30, 2025.

There are two pathways to accomplish this:

1. Amend the 2022 Energy Code
Adopt a reach code based on the existing 2022 Energy Code so that it “will be in effect” before September 30, 2025. Then, when the City adopts the 2025 Building Standards (which it must do before the end of the year) the City can use AB 130, Exception 1, to adopt a reach code on the 2025 Energy Code that is “substantially similar” to the one adopted before September 30, 2025. The City Council would be required to adopt findings that the 2025 reach code is substantially similar. This is the process staff is recommending.

2. 2025 Code Pathway
Propose the reach code in the 2025 Building Standards Code adoption process scheduled to occur before the end of 2025. The second option requires the City to show that the proposed changes are: i) “necessary to implement a local code amendment that is adopted to align with a general plan approved on or before June 10, 2025” (the proposed reach code aligns with the City’s Safety Element adopted on April 1, 2025), ii) that “permits mixed fuel residential construction consistent with federal law”, e.g. compliance with the federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), (the reach code allows mixed-fuel options and therefore does not conflict with EPCA), and, iii) incentivizes “all-electric construction as part of an adopted greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy” (the AC2HP is an all-electric option that is incentivized through energy cost savings and installation cost rebates). Staff has evaluated this option and believes the reach code would comply with all the requirements of this exception.
99 of 348
9a 7
25-88603
With respect to Option 1 (amending the 2022 Building Standards Code), there is time to introduce and adopt the reach code by August 31, 2025, so that it becomes effective before the end of September; however, if the reach code is scheduled for adoption after August 31, 2025, it would need to be adopted on an urgency basis in order to be effective before September 30, 2025.

The proposed reach code ordinance would be submitted to the CEC and CBSC immediately upon adoption; however, their approval is not required for the ordinance to become effective, but the reach code could not be enforced until CEC and CBSC approval is obtained.

Should Council approve staff’s recommendations, work would proceed on the timeline provided in Table 4 below.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
100 of 348
9a 8
25-88603
The City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§15000, et seq., "CEQA"), and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines") because it consists of revisions and clarifications to an existing code of construction-related regulations and specification of procedures related thereto being taken for enhanced protection of the environment and while there may be added infrastructure resulting from the implementation of the Reach Codes, it does not have the potential to cause significant effects on the environment; to the contrary, the transition from fossil fuel sources is part of the State of California’s overall plan to decrease GHG emissions from stationary and transportation sources. Adoption of the Ordinance is categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §15305 as a minor alteration in land use limitations which do not result in any changes in land use or density and is exempt under CEQA Guidelines §15308 as an action taken by a regulatory agency as authorized by California law to assure maintenance or protection of the environment.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Ordinance Amending Glendale Municipal Code provisions regarding meetings, powers and duties of the Commission on the Status of Women

1. Introduction of Ordinance Amending Sections 2.38.090 and 2.38.140 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 – Relating to the Commission on the Status of Women.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action Item
Approved for September 9, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
During its March 18, 2025, Council recommended certain changes to the frequency of meetings of the Commission on the Status of Women and their powers and duties. This report provides those amendments by changing the frequency of meetings from quarterly to monthly. It further amends the provisions pertaining to the Commission’s powers and responsibilities, to include regular programming based on policy recommendations of the Commission’s Report on the Status of Women and Girls and the City’s Workforce Demographics Report, engaging in community partnerships and fundraising.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends introduction and adoption of the Ordinance as directed by Council.

ANALYSIS

BACKGROUND
The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) was originally established in 2003 to serve as an advisory body to the City Council, providing recommendations on policies, programs, and services that address the needs of women in Glendale.

Per Glendale Municipal Code (“GMC”) Section 2.38.140, the powers and duties of the Commission were established as follows:
"The powers and duties of the Commission on the Status of Women shall 103 of 348
9a 2
25-87656
be to assess and evaluate the needs and issues of women in the City in order to inform and advise the City Council, City departments and divisions, and other community agencies and organizations of those needs and issues; recommend programs or legislation to the City Council to promote and ensure equal rights and opportunities to and for women in the City; to promote education on issues regarding matters involving the needs of women and to prepare and disseminate such information; provide outreach information and education that empowers women to achieve self-sufficiency and self-esteem; maintain an active liaison with groups, organizations, agencies and individuals in regard to issues related to women; perform other duties as may be imposed upon the Commission by the City Council by ordinance or resolution."
Since its inception, the CSW has undergone multiple modifications, including changes to its composition, meeting frequency, and overall function. The Council has directed the restoration of CSW’s programmatic function and an increase in the frequency of its regular meetings. To that end, the City Attorney has prepared a draft ordinance for the Council’s consideration. The draft Ordinance increases the regular meeting schedule from quarterly to monthly, and modifies the CSW’s powers and duties, as follows:

The powers and duties of the commission on the status of women shall be to assess and evaluate the needs and issues of women in the city in order to inform and advise the city council, city departments and divisions, and other community agencies and organizations of those needs and issues; recommend legislation to the city council and/or organize programs or legislation to the city council to promote and ensure equal rights and opportunities to and for women in the city based on the Report on the Status of Women and Girls prepared from time to time at the behest of the commission and the City’s Workforce Demographics Report; to promote education on issues regarding matters involving the needs of women and to prepare and disseminate such information; provide outreach information and education that empowers women to achieve self-sufficiency and self-esteem; engage and maintain an active liaison with groups, organizations, agencies and individuals in regard to issues related to women; explore and engage in fundraising activities; perform other duties as may be imposed upon the commission by the city council by ordinance or resolution.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Report: Programs or Partnerships to Address Health and Social Challenges Affecting Men
1) Motion Directing Staff

COUNCIL ACTION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At its July 16, 2024, meeting, the City Council discussed concerns regarding the social, health, and educational challenges facing men and boys in Glendale and directed staff to research practices in other jurisdictions. This report reviews national, state, regional, and city-level frameworks and programs, identifies common themes, and outlines potential opportunities for Glendale.

At the national level, initiatives such as the YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the National Fatherhood Initiative, and Year Up provide evidence-based frameworks that emphasize education, family stability, employment, health, mentoring, and safety. State efforts include proposed legislation in Washington to establish a Commission on Boys and Men. Numerous cities—including Long Beach, New York, Washington, DC, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Houston, Columbus, and Rochester—have implemented programs tailored to local needs, many tied to broader community initiatives rather than one demographic.

Across national, state, and local levels, the recurring challenge areas are 1) Education gaps, 2) Fatherhood/family instability, 3) Limited employment/economic mobility, 4) Health and mental health disparities, 5) Overrepresentation in justice systems, and 6) Need for mentoring/leadership opportunities.

Potential options for Glendale include building on existing partnerships with schools, nonprofits, health systems, and community organizations to improve outcomes for men and boys.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Key Considerations and Refinements to the Clean Energy Programs Plan Funded by Public Benefit Charge and Low Carbon Fuel Standard for Fiscal Years 25-26 and 26-27.

2. Resolution of Appropriation requesting $200,000 for the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) study supporting a potential pilot program.

COUNCIL ACTION
Item Type: Action
Approved for September 9, 2025 calendar

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report responds to Council comments from June 4, 2025, and subsequent meetings following adoption of the Clean Energy Programs Plan. The plan was approved on June 24, 2025, and Council directed staff to return with additional review and refinements before implementing new programs. This report outlines adjustments to program elements and implementation timelines based on Council feedback.

The Clean Energy Programs Plan details GWP’s planned use of PBC and LCFS funds to deliver energy efficiency, utility assistance, load management, and electrification programs and initiatives. The plan supports Glendale’s environmental and equity goals while aligning with state legislation.

This report also provides the rationale and guiding framework for GWP’s clean energy programs portfolio. The refined portfolio remains aligned with GWP’s Integrated Demand Side Management (IDSM) strategy and is designed to conserve energy and water, improve grid reliability, provide utility assistance to income-qualified residents, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while supporting California’s broader objectives to decarbonize and modernize the energy system.

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize staff to proceed with program refinements and implementation of the Clean Energy Programs Plan funded by the PBC and LCFS for FY 25-26 and 26-27 consistent with the refinements outlined, while continuing to monitor, adjust, and refine program measures, timelines, and incentives as needed to remain responsive to evolving technologies, community needs, Council feedback, and regulatory requirements.

Concurrence to move forward will allow timely implementation and ensure that the benefits of programs reach Glendale residents and businesses without delays.

Additionally, staff recommends that the City Council approve the appropriation of $200,000 in FY 25-26 to conduct a study in support of the V2X pilot program.

ANALYSIS
This section outlines specific actions undertaken in response to Council feedback and describes GWP’s approach for designing and implementing its clean energy portfolio.

1. Home Energy and Water Saving Rebates
One area of Council feedback focused on Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) rebates and how incentives are delivered. Council expressed interest in issuing HVAC rebate checks rather than bill credits. GWP already provides checks for other programs, such as e-bike and electric vehicle (EV) charger rebates, so extending this process to HVAC systems would primarily involve process adjustment with Finance and is feasible. The Clean Energy Section currently provides more than 600 electric rebates annually through the Home Energy and Water Saving Rebates program. While transitioning all rebates to checks would increase administrative needs, limiting this change to higher-cost measures such as permitted HVAC systems, water heaters, and panel upgrades is practical and allows customers to recover their investments more quickly.

Under the approved Clean Energy Programs Plan, the Home Energy and Water Saving Rebates program would offer $1,000 per ton for new heat pump fuel-switching retrofits, up to $5,000 for a 5-ton system, plus an additional $1,000 for home electrification panel upgrades. In response to Council feedback, staff proposes adding rebates for electricto-electric (i.e. old heat pump to new heat pump) upgrades at $500 per ton. Although incremental savings are lower for electric-to-electric conversions, this approach provides meaningful support to encourage the adoption of more efficient HVAC systems and remains consistent with overall program goals and requirements.

2. Advancing V2X and Demand Response (DR)
V2X technologies represent a rapidly evolving area of innovation with the potential to provide grid support, backup power, and enhanced grid flexibility. V2X enables EVs to communicate with and supply energy to homes, businesses, or the grid, supporting peak demand reduction, renewable energy generation, and enhanced load shaping.

While the strategic value of V2X technology is increasingly recognized, the technology is still maturing. Market availability of V2X-enabled vehicles and bidirectional charging 118 of 348
3 9c
infrastructure is currently limited, with evolving standards, high costs, uncertainties around customer adoption, utility integration, and long term-interoperability. Premature investment risks locking into solutions that may not have the potential to scale, creating stranded assets or underperforming pilots.

To ensure GWP makes timely, informed, and cost-effective decisions, staff recommends conducting a scoped study to assess the technical, economic, behavioral, and operational feasibility of implementing a V2X program in Glendale. This study would focus on assessing bidirectional chargers, vehicles, and utility interface capabilities for current and future compatibility. In addition, the study will evaluate various V2X scenarios and customer segments, analyzing the distribution level effects of V2X implementation, such as load managing and shaping. Furthermore, the study will assess the cost-effectiveness of V2X solutions, recommending pilot models, incentive structures, and evaluation frameworks aligned with local needs and best practices.

Importantly, findings from this study will also inform the design of a new, cost-effective DR program, helping GWP optimize load management, evaluate potential grid impacts, and integrate V2X enabled resources into DR strategies.

To support this work, GWP will partner with a neutral academic or research institution to provide third-party analysis, case study reviews, economic modeling, and project support. This outside expertise will help ensure program design reflects best practices and aligns with Glendale’s unique customer base and load profile. Following feedback from a GWP Commissioner and Councilmember, the Clean Energy team has already initiated exploratory efforts with UCLA’s Smart Grid Energy Research Center (SMERC) to develop strategic collaboration to support research, assessment, and pilot program design for V2X technologies. This study represents a foundational step toward V2X applications and will guide development of pilot program frameworks tailored to Glendale’s grid needs and Council priorities.

Although initial funding was earmarked for FY 26-27, staff now anticipates undertaking the study in FY 25-26 to begin earlier progress on pilot program design and implementation.

DR is another evolving area that can help adjust consumer demand based on real-time energy availability, help balance supply and demand, and reduce reliance on fossil fuel-based plants. Lessons learned from previous DR initiative, which was costly (approximately $19,000 per MWh) and limited in impact, will guide the development of a new framework focused on dispatchable, measurable, and cost-effective DR strategies that provide clear grid benefits. The new DR program design framework sets a target cost of less than $200 per MWh for typical dispatches, with flexibility for up to $1,500 per MWh in rare grid emergency events. This ensures that GWP invests in DR solutions that deliver meaningful load reduction while remaining aligned with ratepayer value.

By using these cost thresholds, GWP can implement DR programs that are performance-based, grid responsive, financially sustainable, and saleable. GWP will also leverage insights from the V2X study into the DR program design.

GWP will explore different options to implement this program either through a 119 of 348
4 9c
participation agreement with SCPPA or direct contracting with a selected institution.

3. Commercial Energy and Water Savings Rebates
GWP’s Commercial Rebates Program will offer one of the most extensive lists of measures among municipal utilities, with a focus on supporting small businesses. While GWP has flexibility to adjust measures and incentives, all rebates are designed to align with overall cost-effectiveness goals. The rebate list was carefully developed to balance energy impact with practical considerations for small businesses. For example, GWP will offer a $2,000 flat rebate for commercial dishwashers. These units can range in price from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands, and since small businesses typically purchase smaller units, this rebate will help them recoup initial investments more effectively, promoting adoption while managing program efficiency.

GWP’s rebates and programs are dynamic and need to be periodically updated in response to industry standards, technology performance, and projected energy savings.

This ensures that program incentives remain aligned with the most current best practices, state codes, and energy savings data.

To ensure the program meets actual business needs, staff will gather ongoing feedback from participating businesses through surveys and direct engagement. Incentives and program measures will be continuously reviewed and adjusted based on real-world experience, ensuring that the rebates remain responsive, equitable, and tailored to Glendale’s commercial community.

The Clean Energy team is collaborating with the City’s Sustainability Officer and Integrated Waste Management Division to develop a Green Business Efficiency Pilot.

Early planning includes a stakeholder survey to gather input from commercial customers, ensuring new rebate offerings and program design reflect the needs of Glendale businesses and the community. This feedback will ensure that proposed rebate offerings and program design are responsive to the needs of Glendale businesses while also informing the development of the Commercial Energy and Water Saving Rebates Program.

4. Clean Energy Programs Principles and Policy Alignment The development and delivery of GWP’s energy and water efficiency programs continue to be guided by four principles: cost-effectiveness, policy alignment, equity and accessibility, and a data-driven approach. GWP applies several cost-effectiveness tests, with the Total Resource Cost (TRC) test serving as the primary measure to evaluate whether programs deliver more value than they cost. The goal is to maintain a portfoliowide TRC ratio above 1.0. Programs are designed to comply with California’s requirement that all cost-effective efficiency measures be pursued before investing in new generation.

Assembly Bill (AB) 1890 and the California Public Utilities Code Section 385 require that municipal utilities establish a PBC equal to 2.85% of annual retail electric rate revenues to fund investments in one or more of the following areas:
• Cost-effective demand side management (DSM) services to promote energy efficiency and energy conservation
120 of 348
5 9c
• New investment in renewable energy resources and technologies • Research, development and demonstration programs
• Services provided for low-income electricity customers, including but not limited to, targeted energy efficiency service and rate discounts.

When allocating funding across program areas, GWP takes a coordinated and balanced approach to ensure it meets energy savings targets while also prioritizing support for income-qualified customers. Since equity and affordability are a key consideration to portfolio design, a significant portion of the PBC funding, approximately 40-50 percent over the next two years, will be dedicated to income-qualified services. This includes utility rate discounts, as well as targeted energy and water efficiency upgrades and related services to help reduce long-term utility costs for vulnerable households.

AB 2021 added to the state’s energy efficiency policies by requiring the establishment of ten-year energy efficiency targets every four years to facilitate the development and implementation of the programs and to also help identify future potential savings opportunities. GWP’s energy savings target for FY 25-26 and FY 26-27 is approximately 10 million kWh annually, representing about 1% of total retail electricity sales.

In summary, GWP’s programs are designed to achieve measurable and sustainable outcomes, by delivering a TRC ratio greater than 1, ensuring that the portfolio of programs is cost-effective in addition to achieving the 1 percent annual savings goal, and aligning with policy drivers. Finally, the portfolio is built to offer diverse programs to all customers in Glendale, empowering them to reduce consumption and actively support decarbonization efforts while ensuring affordability for income-qualified customers.

To support consistency and regulatory compliance, GWP uses the California Publicly Owned Utility (POU) electronic Technical Reference Manual (eTRM) when designing and evaluating energy efficiency and demand side programs. The eTRM is a centralized digital database of standardized energy efficiency measures, and is used by utilities, regulators, and program administrators. It contains a vetted list of technologies and practices that are pre-evaluated for their expected energy savings and demand reduction potential. By relying on eTRM-defined measures, GWP ensures that program offerings are aligned with the industry best practices, consistent with regulatory expectations and evolving state energy codes.

Figure 1 provides a screenshot of the eTRM database interface to illustrate the structure and range of available measures. While the database is extensive and multilayered, this visual highlights how technologies are categorized and how GWP can access detailed savings estimates for specific measures.
121 of 348
6 9c
Figure 1: eTRM Database Interface
In cases where emerging technologies are not yet defined and listed in eTRM, GWP may use custom saving calculations or pilot projects to evaluate technologies for their feasibility and grid impacts. Customer-facing program outcomes are reported annually to the California Energy Commission (CEC), as required under Senate Bill (SB) 1037, AB 2021, and Section 9505 of the Public Utilities Code.

GWP updates its programs periodically in response to the eTRM which reflects evolving technologies and industry standards. GWP uses these updates to refresh its offerings, phase out low-performing measures, and introduce new rebates and services that align with current codes and market conditions. Furthermore, even though the programs are designed using a structured approach and incentive levels are justified based on costeffectiveness testing, GWP has some flexibility to allow individual measure and program adjustments as technologies evolve and based on community needs.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH

The current contract with Oracle America, Inc. is set to expire on June 30, 2025. GWP proposes to amend the current contract to extend services for an additional two years, to provide services through June 30, 2027. This extension would be a Sole Source Procurement process directly with Oracle America, Inc.

Tree Power
Tree Power supports a cleaner, healthier, and more beautiful Glendale while helping residents save energy. Through the Tree Power program, eligible may receive up to three shade trees, along with stakes, ties, and arbor guards, at no direct cost to the customer.

Shade trees offer a wide range of benefits for both the environment and community. By blocking sunlight and releasing moisture, these trees help cool the surrounding areas, reducing the need for air conditioning and lowering energy bills. Shade trees also improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and producing oxygen, while their roots help prevent soil erosion and improve water retention. On average, a mature tree can intercept between 500 to 1,000 gallons of rainwater annually. Additionally, shade trees increase property values, and enhance neighborhood aesthetics, making communities more pleasant and inviting.

8 TABLE 10
GWP has engaged the services of an arborist and tree supplier through standard procurement processes to support the program. Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis.

GWP proposes to enter into a direct contract between the Craig Crotty Arbor Culture LLC and the City of Glendale to provide arborist services for the program. In addition, GWP will enter into a Purchase Order with Arbor Nursery Plus for the procurement of trees for the Tree Power program.

GWP is considering redesigning the Tree Power program by consolidating its services under a single contractor, such as Arbor Day Foundation. This would streamline program operations, improve customer experience, and enable GWP to extend it to a larger customer base, ultimately increasing participation and impact.

Business Energy Solutions
Business Energy Solutions (BES) provides incentives for large and medium businesses to complete pre-approved energy saving projects. Local public and private schools are also eligible to participate in this program.

RENEWABLE ENERGY PROGRAMS
Photovoltaic (PV) and Energy Storage (ES) Interconnection Application Portal (PowerClerk)
PowerClerk is a cloud-based software platform developed by Clean Power Research that streamlines the management of utility programs related to distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar, energy storage, and electric vehicle infrastructure. This online service allows GWP staff to configure and manage workflows, forms, communications, and reporting without requiring IT involvement. GWP first started using PowerClerk in 2016 to improve and streamline the processing of Solar Incentive Applications (under SB-1). After the end of the incentive program, PowerClerk has been used to process PV and ES applications.

GWP proposes to contract with Clean Power Research through a participation agreement with SCPPA. A separate Task Order to the SCPPA-Vendor contract will be prepared documenting the services to be provided for Glendale and Glendale’s cost, including a not-to-exceed amount.

Table 22 below proposes a two-year budget of $100,000 to provide the PowerClerk online solar and energy storage interconnection application portal through Clean Power Research.

Demand Response (NEW)
Demand response programs can help adjust consumer demand based on real-time energy availability, help balance supply and demand, and reduce reliance on fossil fuel-based plants.

This program will offer residential and small commercial customers an upfront incentive for enrolling their qualifying smart thermostat in the program and an annual incentive for participating in the peak events called during the program season. The smart thermostat will curb energy use from the customer’s air conditioner or heat pump during peak events to reduce electric grid load and keep energy costs low.

GWP will be exploring different options to implement this program either through a participation agreement with SCPPA or direct contracting with a selected vendor after an RFP process.

16 LCFS-FUNDED TRANSPORTATION

ELECTRIFICATION PROGRAMS SUMMARY
The following transportation electrification programs will be funded through the sales of Low Carbon Fuel Standard (“LCFS”) credits, which Glendale earns on a quarterly basis. The LCFS program, administered by the California Air Resources Board, issues credits that can be monetized and reinvested in transportation electrification initiatives. Glendale will use these proceeds to fund several transportation electrification programs.

Table 25 below summarizes the proposed annual LCFS program budget for the period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. The proposed LCFS budget is $2.08 million for FY 2025-2026 and $2.8 million for FY 2026-2027, supporting a total of nine transportation electrification programs.

Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Infrastructure The number of electric vehicles (EVs) in the City of Glendale has grown substantially in recent years. In response, GWP plans to expand its EV charging infrastructure across the city. The goal is to develop a network of conveniently located charging stations within the City of Glendale that make EV travel in Glendale more accessible, reliable, and hassle free.

GWP’s transportation electrification efforts support state-level goals, including Governor Brown’s 2018 Executive Order B-48-18 which calls for 250,000 EV chargers and 10,000 directcurrent fast chargers by 2025, and Governor Newsom’s 2021 Executive Order N-79-20, which requires all new light-duty vehicle sales be zero emission by 2035. 148 of 348
17 As EV adoption increases, the changing needs of today’s drivers are also evolving. Access to charging at multi-unit dwellings (MUDs) and workplaces is becoming increasingly important.

Public charging in highly visible and convenient locations, such as curbside chargers in the public right-of-way, will play a vital role in ensuring equitable access to Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) infrastructure across all communities in Glendale.

EVSE site selection considers several factors, including power source proximity, the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliance, equipment availability, installation cost, public visibility, feasibility for DC fast chargers, and proximity to MUDs and disadvantaged communities.

As of May 2025, GWP has installed a total of 84 electric vehicle charging stations. GWP is currently in the process of establishing a new network service provider, service contract, and preventative maintenance program to improve charger uptime and customer experience. GWP is also preparing new contracts for EVSE design and construction to further expand its public EVSE infrastructure.

As previously noted, funding for the purchase and installation of EVSE is included in GWP’s capital budget and supported by revenue from LCFS credit sales.

Table 26 below proposes a two-year budget of $1,500,000 to support networking, maintenance and operations of the existing 84 charging ports, and the design, purchase, and installation of approximately 50 new public EV charging stations through June 30, 2027.

TABLE 26
Residential EV Charging Station Rebates
This program offers rebates of $200 for non-networked EV charging stations and $599 for networked EV charging stations. Customers who upgrade their electrical panel to support the EV charging station installation may receive an additional $800.

Clean Fuel Rewards Program
The Clean Fuel Rewards (CFR) program is a statewide point-of-sale initiative offering financial incentives to Glendale residents, at the point of sale, for the purchase or lease of new light-duty plug-in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. In partnership with California Air Resources Board (CARB) and local EV dealerships, Glendale provided up to $1,500 incentives to 2,983 Glendale residents from December 2020 through August 2022. The CFR program has been temporarily closed since September 1, 2022 due to higher than anticipated EV adoption. Utilities may still be required to contribute to this program, and the incentives may return at a later time in FY 25-26.

On June 30, 2020, the Glendale City Council authorized Glendale’s participation in the CFR Program (Resolution No. 20-90). The CFR Program is mandated by the State of California, to enable utilities to continue participating in the LCFS program. One of the CFR requirements is that Glendale must monetize 25% of its annual LCFS revenue the CFR Program.

Table 30 below proposes a one-year budget of $300,000 to provide incentives to Glendale residents through June 30, 2026. No funding is budgeted for FY 26-27 as this program is expected to conclude.

TABLE 34
Vehicle to Grid Study (New)
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology allows EVs to supply power to devices, homes, buildings, or even the electric grid. Through V2G, EVs can help smooth facility energy demand by adjusting charging rates, storing excess solar energy generated during daytime hours, and providing energy directly to the grid to reduce overall demand. V2G technology has the potential to be used as a viable distributed energy resource. However, V2G requires EVs and charging stations to have this capability built in. Currently, very few EVs and charging stations support V2G.

Given the infancy of this technology and the limited availability of compatible vehicles and charging stations, GWP proposes conducting a study to explore how a V2G program could be implemented in Glendale. The findings from this study will help shape a potential future program and identify potential grants to fund the program.

AGENDA ITEM

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Report: Dispensing with Competitive Bidding and Awarding a Contract for Operation and Maintenance of the City’s Schneider Electric Building Management Systems and Software including EcoStruxure and StruxureWare Building Operations / Andover Continuum (Andover)

COUNCIL ACTION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Glendale has used Andover building management systems and software for 24 years. These building management systems control digital heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, secured access control and interior and exterior lighting systems. These commercial grade building management systems are proprietary, and Schneider Electric is the only vendor available to supply and support the wide range of needs of the city’s Andover systems including both the EcoStruxure and StruxureWare Building Operations / Andover Continuum building management systems and software.

Dispensing with competitive bidding is needed for a new 5-year operation and maintenance contract with Schneider Electric to continue these services.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a resolution dispensing with competitive bidding and authorizing the City Manager or a designee to contract with Schneider Electric for the operation and maintenance of the city’s Andover Building Management Systems for 5 years in an amount not to exceed $825,000.

ANALYSIS
Digital HVAC automation was initially integrated to city facilities in 2001 to improve energy efficiency and systems controls at all major city facilities. This automation extends over the city’s network and allows for centralized, real-time building management including Item Type: Action Item
Approved for September 9, 2025 calendar

2 monitoring, alarming, adjusting, and diagnosing issues across all city facilities. This product was originally selected 24 years ago due to several factors including cost, experience, product support, project approach, architecture, potential customizations and user-friendly interface. This system has been upgraded many times over the years.

Since the initial installation, Andover has been integrated into nearly all significant city buildings including the Civic Center buildings, fire stations, libraries, police station, maintenance yards and the Beeline Maintenance Facility. Only the Alex Theater is on a different building management system, currently Sunbelt Controls. Staff has found the Andover system to be easy to use and effective in allowing staff from a single workstation or handheld device to monitor systems throughout the city, diagnose problems, make adjustments to HVAC settings and schedule building access. Andover includes an Energy Management System that provides the city with enhanced energy efficiency and cost savings by starting, stopping and sequencing large energy consuming equipment.

Further, the system controls and monitors ingress and egress at all city facilities including controlling door locks and manages interior and exterior lighting systems.

The city’s existing building management systems currently includes Schneider Electric’s building management software and extensive hardware and wiring in all city facilities. The hardware includes wiring, door locking mechanisms, access card readers, locking controllers, temperature sensors, air flow controllers, VAV controllers, AC and heat controllers, water temperature sensors, and HVAC central controllers.

Schneider Electric is the parent company of both the EcoStruxure and StruxureWare Building Operations / Andover Continuum products including both the hardware and software making up these complex systems. They are the only vendor available to support the full scope of needs for the city’s Andover systems. In the past, the city engaged in an ultimately unsuccessful request for proposals process for these same operation and maintenance services because these services are proprietary.

Over the past 24 years, the city had made a considerable investment in the Andover system including procured hardware, training and system development. Additionally, Schneider Electric’s newer EcoStruxure building management system was recently installed at the Beeline Maintenance Facility and Police Building meaning the city will have a continuing need for some operational and maintenance service from this firm for some time. It would be both impractical and expensive to consider initiating a new request for proposals process to replace this entire system all at one.

Due to the substantial value of the city’s existing Schneider Electric building management system infrastructure and the estimated capital cost exceeding $2 million to replace this system in addition to the training and development implementing a new system requires, continuing with a new operation and maintenance contract with Schneider Electric is the most economic option at this time by maintaining the Andover system already in place.

The currently system is effectively providing building management system services as intended and is meeting the needs of the city. Since it is in the best interest of the city to execute a new contract with Schneider Electric for building management services, the 156 of 348
9d
25-88699
3 City Council may dispense with competitive bidding under these circumstances.

The recommended amount for a new contract with Schneider Electric for operation and maintenance of the city’s Andover Building Management Systems for 5 years is $825,000.

This is a reduction in cost compared to the previous 5-year agreement of $895,000. Even though the labors rates and parts costs under the new contract are slightly higher, the prior contract included system expansion costs which are not part of this proposed contract. Staff does not plan to expand services under the new contract.

For city buildings on the older StruxureWare Building Operations / Andover Continuum, staff intends to initiate a new request for proposals process to select a new building management system for these facilities and eventually the entire city. Since upgrading these buildings from this older system to EcoStruxure, under the same Schneider Electric umbrella, will require a considerable investment in new wiring infrastructure, new hardware and other substantial expenses, a new request for proposals process is appropriate. Public Works staff intends to request funding for this project for Fiscal Year 2026-27.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
Public Works Facilities Management staff and the vendor Schneider Electric will coordinate building work with other city departments to avoid disruptions to municipal operations and to the public.

FISCAL IMPACT
The operation and maintenance of the city’s Andover Building Management Systems will cost $165,000 annually, for a total of $825,000 over 5 years. The budgeted amount for the contract in FY 2025-26 is $85,000. The Public Works Department budget intends to absorb the remaining cost and therefore no new appropriation is being requested at this time. The appropriation for the remaining years will be requested as part of the annual budget process. The funding is outlined below:

Existing Appropriation

CITY OF GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL

AGENDA ITEM
Report: Appeal of Design Review Board’s approval of DRB Case No. PDR-004219-2024 located at 906 Whitehaven Terrace to add an 1,865 square-foot (SF) two-story addition and change the architectural style of the existing 1,938 SF single-story single-family residence with an attached 3-car garage constructed in 1973 on a 11,770 SF interior lot in the R1R-III (Restricted Residential Zone, Floor Area District III).

1. Motion to Sustain Design Review Board’s Decision to Approve the Project with Conditions of Approval

2. Motion to Continue the Matter, Directing the City Attorney to Draft Findings Reversing the Design Review Board’s Decision and Denying the Project.

COUNCIL ACTION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This hearing is an appeal of a decision made by the Design Review Board (DRB) on February 13, 2025, to approve the Design Review Case with conditions for the project located at 906 Whitehaven Terrace. The DRB approved the project with five conditions for an 1,865 square foot (SF) two-story addition to the existing 1,938 SF, one-story single-family house and extension of the rear deck (“Project”).

The DRB’s decision was made in accordance with Glendale Municipal Code (GMC) Design Review, of which the purpose is to promote high-quality development that enhances the beauty, livability, and prosperity of the community while preventing poor design that could negatively impact surrounding properties. The Design Review chapter encourages originality and diversity in architectural styles and ensures that new construction and renovations are compatible with existing neighborhood character.

The appellant (subject property’s neighbor) is requesting that the City Council reverse the DRB’s decision approving the Project and for them to return the project to the DRB for redesign. The appellant contends that in rendering its decision to approve the Project with conditions, the DRB violated specific provisions of law and exceeded its authority by virtue of any of the provisions of law. The appellant also claims that staff and DRB failed to fulfill its mandatory duty and that the evidence before the board was insufficient or inadequate to support its decision. The appellant further claims to have new evidence of material facts not previously presented, which if considered should change the decision.

RELEVANT PROJECT HISTORY
December 6, 2024 – Design Review Case No. PDR-004219-2024 was submitted by the Project applicant, Harry Akopian, for the proposed 2-story addition.

February 13, 2025 –Design Review Case No. PDR-004219-2024 was presented to the DRB with a staff recommendation to approve the Project with conditions. The DRB voted unanimously (3-0) to approve the Project with five conditions (Exhibit 4):

1. Restudy the design to reduce the massing and scale of the second-story volume, ensuring it followings the topography and eliminates the cantilevered portion of the addition, while extending the volume towards the street front.

2. Remove the second-story balcony.

3. Plant live vegetation of appropriate height along the rear and side of the property for privacy screening.

4. Modify the design of the second-story volume to create better proportions and reduce the prominence of the entryway.

5. Simplify the roof design by reducing the variation of roof forms to achieve a more 166 of 348 4 10a
proportional look in harmony with the overall home.

February 26, 2025 – The appellant submitted their appeal of the DRB’s approval – Case No. PAPP-004609-2025 (Exhibit 9).

SUMMARY OF DRB’S DISCUSSION OF CASE NO. PDR-004219-2024 Generally, the DRB was in favor of the Project and the discussion of the Project was limited.
• Three DRB members, Lockareff, Kaskanian, and Welch, were present at the February 13, 2025, meeting at which the Project was discussed. Board member Simonian was absent.
• Board member Welch stated that while adding a second story is a property right, the DRB's role is to ensure thoughtful design that respects neighboring properties and complies with the City’s Design Guidelines. He shared public concerns about massing and felt the addition did not follow the site’s topography. While he did not view the main entry as overly monumental, he found the roof forms overly complex.

His main concern was the cantilevered rear portion of the second story, which he believed conflicted with the Design Guidelines and could negatively impact downhill neighbors. He recommended redesigning this element and questioned the need for the second-story balcony due to privacy concerns. He considered the first-story deck extension to be a minor change.

Mr. Welch also felt the overall scale was too large, with an FAR above the neighborhood average, and suggested reducing the size of the master bedroom and bathroom. Noting the area’s varied architecture, he did not believe a specific style could be imposed.
• Board member Lockareff agreed with the comments made by Board member Welch. She did not oppose the second-story addition but emphasized the need for conditions to remove the balcony, reduce the overall massing, and shift the structure towards the street to mitigate privacy impacts. She found the rooflines to be overly complex and recommended simplifying them in conjunction with the reduced massing to better follow the topography. Additionally, Ms. Lockareff felt that the entry was too monumental.
• Chair Kaskanian expressed his support for the second-story addition, noting that there is nothing in the Design Guidelines that prohibits new two-story additions.

He agreed with the proposed conditions to reduce the height and simplify the rooflines, and he also felt that the front entry was too monumental and needed to be reworked. Furthermore, Chair Kaskanian suggested adding a condition to require the planting of privacy hedges to mitigate privacy concerns. • Board member Welch questioned whether the project should be approved with 167 of 348 5 10a
conditions or returned for redesign. Board member Lockareff stated she was comfortable approving the project with conditions.
• Staff received four letters from the public prior to the hearing and seven members of the public spoke at the hearing in opposition to the Project, including both appellants. Two people spoke in favor. Concerns from the public were in regard to the privacy impacts, incompatibility of the massing and architecture. A copy of the comment letters is attached as Exhibit 8.
• Following review of the staff report and attachments, including the submitted correspondence, and having heard all testimony at the public hearing, Board member Lockareff made a motion to approve the Project with conditions. The motion was seconded by Board member Welch. The Record of Decision is attached as Exhibit 4.
• The applicant has incorporated most of the required modifications in the draft revision of the proposed plans (Exhibit 11), including the removal of the secondstory balcony, reduction in overall massing and scale, simplification of rooflines, refinement of the monumental entry, and enhancement of privacy screening with additional landscaping along the property boundary. The plans do not address the conditions for the removal of the cantilevered portion and the relocation of the second-story volume toward the street front.

SUMMARY OF THE APPELLANT’S BASIS FOR APPEAL AND STAFF RESPONSES In the appeal application, the appellants state that the conditions of approval imposed by the DRB violated specific provisions of law and exceeded its authority; and that staff and DRB failed to fulfill their mandatory duty. Furthermore, the appellants believe that the evidence before the DRB was insufficient or inadequate to support its decision. The appellants have new evidence not previously presented, which if considered should change the approval decision. Below is a summary of the statements made by the appellants in their appeal application (Exhibit 9), as well as staff’s responses to the statement.

Part 4A (DRB Violated Specific Provisions of Law):

The appellants contend that the DRB violated a specific provision of law because the Project fails to comply with multiple Glendale Municipal Code (GMC) standards, particularly those outlined in GMC 30.47.040 (Design Review Standards) Sections (B)(3) (relationships to adjacent buildings), & (D) (compatibility with surrounding neighborhood character), and GMC 30.11.040(D) (Density).

The appellants state that the Project does not follow the natural slope of the street. The existing one-story homes were designed to step down with the topography to minimize their impact on neighboring properties. The appellant claims the Project will intrude on their privacy, as the balcony and large windows will overlook their dining room, kitchen, and backyard, affecting the use of their property and leading to loss of natural light.

Additionally, the appellants assert that the scale of the Project, with a floor-area-ratio (FAR) of 32.3%, is disproportionate to the lot size and out of character with the 168 of 348 6 10a
predominantly one-story homes in the neighborhood. The modern farmhouse design is also seen as incompatible with the surrounding homes.

The appellants further object to the inclusion of properties 1066 Old Phillips and 1060 Old Phillips in the neighborhood survey, as they are not within the required 300 linear feet of the Project. The appellant believes their inclusion distorted the analysis of the project’s FAR and misrepresented the neighborhood characteristics. Based on these concerns, the appellant argues that the DRB’s approval of the Project overlooked key aspects of the design standards.

Staff Response:

Related to the appellant’s privacy concerns, GMC Section 30.47.040(B)(3) requires that new two-story developments in single-family zones provide reasonable access to natural light and not unreasonably impact the privacy of adjacent buildings and outdoor spaces.

Privacy is evaluated based on views from “public rooms” such as dining rooms and living rooms, as well as balconies over 25 square feet. In response to the appellant’s privacy concerns, the DRB conditioned the Project to remove the second-story balcony, which had the greatest potential for overlooking adjacent properties. Additionally, the DRB required the installation of vegetation along the rear and side property lines to provide screening. Although the Project’s first floor “public rooms” face 900 Whitehaven Terrace, the proposed home is situated approximately seven feet below its neighbor and is set back approximately 14 feet from the common property line. These site characteristics mitigate potential privacy intrusions and ensure access to natural light. The proposed second-story only includes bedrooms and bathrooms, which are not classified as “public rooms” under the code and, therefore, do not raise privacy concerns.

Second, regarding the appellant’s concern that the Project fails to follow the natural topography of the street, GMC Section 30.47.040(D) requires that new development maintain compatibility with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and consider topographic conditions. In response, the DRB conditioned the Project to remove the cantilevered rear portion of the second story, reduce the massing and scale of the upper level, and restudy the second-story volume to be closer to the front of the residence as opposed to the rear. These changes are intended to help the design better follow the natural slope of the site, ensuring a smoother transition with the neighboring homes that step down with the terrain.

Third, as the Project pertains to the scale and size of the house, the appellants argue that the Project’s floor-area-ratio (FAR) of 32.3% is excessive and inconsistent with the surrounding one-story neighborhood. GMC Section 30.47.040(D) requires that new single-family homes be compatible with the neighborhood in terms of massing, scale, height, and other design factors. While the proposed FAR is higher than the neighborhood average, the DRB imposed conditions to reduce the overall scale and bulk of the house. These included simplifying roof forms, eliminating a monumental front entry feature, and restudying the second story. These revisions help align the Project more closely with the eclectic but generally lower-scale character of the area. Neither the GMC nor the City’s Design Guidelines prohibit two-story homes in this neighborhood; rather, projects must comply with applicable development and design standards, which this Project does, as conditioned. 169 of 348
7 10a
With respect to the neighborhood survey, the appellant correctly notes that two properties—1066 Old Phillips and 1060 Old Phillips—were mistakenly included in the applicant’s neighborhood analysis, even though they fall outside the 300 linear feet radius required by GMC Section 30.47.040(D). This error occurred due to a mapping error that did not properly account for the slope. However, excluding these two properties only slightly reduces the average neighborhood FAR from 0.18 to 0.17 and does not materially affect the DRB’s analysis or findings. Moreover, there are still three two-story properties within the accurate 300-foot survey radius, which supports the conclusion that the proposed two-story design is not inconsistent with the character of the area.

Finally, in response to the appellant’s claim that the Project violates GMC Section

30.11.040(D) regarding density, staff notes that this section governs density for residential subdivisions and applies only when a property is being subdivided. The Project does not propose any subdivision and, therefore, this section is not applicable.

The Project is subject instead to development standards for the R1R zone, which include limits on floor-area, height, setbacks, and lot coverage, all of which are met or conditioned to comply through DRB review.

Part 4B (DRB exceeded its authority by virtue of any of the provisions of the law) The appellant contends that the DRB exceeded its authority by approving the Project with substantial conditions imposed on the design. These conditions included reducing the second-story volume, ensuring the design followed the topography, eliminating cantilevered portion of the addition, and simplifying the roof form. The appellant believes that given the many concerns raised by neighbors, the DRB should have returned the project for redesign. Additionally, the appellant believes that the DRB failed to give sufficient attention to the relationship between the placement of windows in the new development and adjacent properties. They assert that incorrect information was presented to the DRB regarding line of sight from the new design, which impacts the privacy of neighboring properties. Furthermore, the appellants claim that the conditions placed on privacy protection, such as planting vegetation, as vague and lacking enforcement measures to ensure they would effectively maintain privacy.

Staff Response:

Regarding the authority of the DRB to impose conditions rather than require redesign, GMC 30.47.030(J) outlines the purpose and authority of the DRB, which includes ensuring that buildings and structures are designed and located in a manner that satisfies the intent of design review and meets established standards. The DRB is authorized to impose conditions related to site planning, design, and appearance, and may require changes to ensure compatibility with surrounding development.

Pursuant to GMC 30.47.075(D), the DRB has the discretion to determine whether a project should be returned for redesign, approved with conditions, or approved without conditions. During the February 13, 2025 hearing, the DRB discussed the possibility of returning the Project for redesign but ultimately concluded during deliberations that the conditions imposed on the approval were sufficient to bring the Project into compliance with the City’s Design Guidelines. Therefore, the DRB did not exceed its authority by approving the Project with conditions. The conditions imposed—including reducing the 170 of 348 8 10a
scale and massing, eliminating the cantilevered portion, pushing the second floor toward the front of the house, simplifying the roof forms, and requiring privacy landscaping—are within the scope of DRB authority and were aimed at ensuring compatibility with surrounding development and mitigating privacy impacts.

Secondly, in response to the appellant’s claim that the DRB failed to adequately consider the relationship between window placement and adjacent properties, the DRB specifically addressed these issues through the imposition of conditions. As discussed in the previous response, the second story includes only bedrooms and bathrooms. These rooms are not considered “public rooms” under GMC 30.47.040(B)(3). The first-story windows that face the neighboring residence are located at a lower elevation are set back 14 feet from the property line. In addition, the DRB required the installation of landscaping along the side and rear property lines to provide privacy screening.

Landscape installation will be checked at the DRB final inspection to determine compliance with the approved plans. These combined measures mitigate potential privacy concerns related to window placement.

Third, in regard to the appellant’s claim that incorrect information was presented to the DRB regarding line of sight, staff reviewed the plan site section submitted by the applicant (Sheet A101 of Exhibit 3), which illustrates the line of sight from the proposed second-story balcony. The appellant’s submission—a photo with a hand-drawn line— was not to scale or professionally verified. With the DRB’s conditions to eliminate the balcony and remove the cantilevered portion, the second story will be further set back, further reducing potential line of sight impacts.

Lastly, regarding the appellant’s claim that the condition requiring privacy landscaping is vague or unenforceable, the DRB required the use of vegetation of appropriate height and density along the side and rear property lines specifically to address privacy screening. Compliance with these conditions will be confirmed at the time of plan check and during the final DRB inspection. Any failure to implement or maintain the required landscaping would be a violation of the conditions of approval and subject to enforcement by the City. Further, per GMC 30.47.050, the landscaping must be maintained for a period of five years.

Part 4C (DRB failed to fulfill a mandatory duty)
The appellants contend that staff and the DRB failed to fulfill a mandatory duty when it did not inform them that a final decision had been rendered and that an appeal could be filed within 15 days. They claim that after the hearing adjourned, City staff and DRB members did not convey this information, leading them to believe the project would be redesigned and returned to the DRB, with an opportunity for the public to review. After the hearing and before the appellant received the Record of Decision, the appellants inquired about how they could be kept informed about the Project revisions to address the DRB’s comment. They were then informed by staff that the decision was final and the only recourse was an appeal.

The appellants also assert that despite multiple contact with staff, they were unable to obtain the Design Review Board Record of Decision until seven days after the hearing.

This delay, they argue, undermined their confidence in the procedural process and in 171 of 348 9 10a
staff's ability to follow guidelines.

Additionally, the appellants claim they had insufficient time to review the project and present their concerns. The appellants claim to have received notification about the Project six days before the DRB meeting, and due to their work schedule, they were unable to fully review the plans or attend the meeting together. The appellants also state their concerns about privacy and inaccuracies in the staff report were not adequately addressed. Specifically, that the staff report incorrectly marked “Yes” under the “Privacy” section, even though the Project would directly affect their privacy. The appellants also pointed out that the staff report failed to discuss two important issues: "consideration of views from public rooms and balconies/decks" and "avoiding windows facing adjacent windows," both of which applied to their situation.

Staff Response:

First, as it relates to the noticing and appeal process, Glendale Municipal Code (GMC) Chapter 30.61 requires that public notices be mailed and posted at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the scheduled hearing date. In compliance with this requirement, the public noticing for the Project was mailed and posted on the City’s website on January 31, 2025—thirteen (13) days prior to the scheduled February 13, 2025 Design Review Board (DRB) meeting—to property owners and occupants within a 500-foot radius of the Project site. Staff also verified that the required physical noticing was installed at the Project site at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the hearing date.

Additionally, the temporary framing poles outlining the project scope were installed on January 15, 2025, which was confirmed by staff to meet the City’s noticing requirements.

Mailed public notices included information on how to file an appeal, and staff provided instructions on the appeal process at the beginning of the DRB hearing, which the appellants attended. During the hearing, the public was given additional time to speak, and the DRB deliberated on whether the Project should come back to them for redesign or be approved with conditions. After deliberation, the Board unanimously voted to approve the project with conditions. Therefore, the Board made it clear that the project would not be returned for redesign. Both appellants were present until the end of the meeting.

Regarding the tardy availability and the Record of Decision (ROD), staff acknowledges an error in not sending out this document to those who spoke at the public meeting or who submitted written comments. However, the appellants had access to the video recording of the hearing, as mentioned in their appeal, and this did not prevent them from filing a timely appeal. The ROD was posted online on February 14, 2025, the day after the hearing, and staff responded to all inquiries about the project from the appellants via email, including information about the appeal, on February 14, 2025 (Exhibit 8). While the appellants’ concerns regarding communication delays are noted, the appeal process was not compromised, and staff asserts that the DRB properly followed procedures and provided opportunities for public input.

In response to the appellants’ claim that they had insufficient time to review the Project and present their concerns, staff notes that the required 10-day public notice was met, and documents were available online during that period. The DRB also allowed for an 172 of 348 10 10a
additional 2-minutes for the appellants to speak during their 3-minute public comment portion of the hearing. Staff believes the public had sufficient time and opportunity to participate, and the noticing process was conducted in accordance with all applicable GMC requirements.

Finally, regarding the staff report and privacy impacts, staff reviewed privacy impacts as required by GMC 30.47.040(B)(3), which specifies that privacy is judged from “public rooms” such as living rooms, dining rooms, and family rooms, and from balconies larger than 25 square feet. Staff did not find that the second-story windows would impact the privacy of adjacent properties given the intervening topography and distance between the subject site and the abutting properties. Additionally, the proposed second story includes only bedrooms and bathrooms, which are not considered “public rooms” under the code. Conditions of approval, which include the removal of the balcony, a further setback of the second story at the rear, and the installation of privacy landscaping along the borders of the subject property, directly address and mitigate any remaining privacy concerns.

Part 4E (The evidence before the DRB was insufficient or inadequate to support its action)
The appellant contends that the evidence before the DRB was inaccurate and inadequate to supports its decision to approve the project with conditions. The appellant claims that the applicant submitted false information concerning the neighborhood survey. They assert that two properties, 1066 Old Phillips and 1060 Old Phillips, should not have been included in the survey list as they are not within the required 300-foot lineal feet of the project site, as confirmed by Glendale Public Works, Engineering. The appellant contends that the inclusion of these properties skewed the statistical analysis of the FAR to make the Project appear more consistent with surrounding properties.

Despite raising this issue with staff, the information was not updated before the DRB hearing and inaccurate information was presented to the Board. The appellant further emphasizes that the architect provided inaccurate 3D renderings, which omitted details such as the outdoor shower located on the west elevation of the house facing the appellant’s property. This omission, according to the applicant, concealed the design’s impact on privacy.

Additionally, the appellant asserts that the DRB did not adequately address the privacy impacts of the Project. The conditions of approval provided by the Board to mitigate these impacts were vague and insufficient. Planting vegetation was deemed by the appellant to be unclear and lacking enforceable measures to ensure the vegetation will provide meaningful privacy protection. Moreover, according to the appellant, the instructions to “consider” reducing the mass of the upstairs portion of the addition or shifting it toward the street were similarly imprecise and did not adequately address the privacy concerns raised. As a result, the appellant believes the DRB was unable to properly assess and adjust the design to minimize privacy violations, ultimately leading to an approval that does not sufficiently protect the surrounding neighbors’ privacy.

Staff Response:

As discussed above, staff acknowledges that the properties located at 1066 Old Phillips and 1060 Old Phillips were mistakenly included in the neighborhood survey. Despite this 173 of 348 11 10a
error, staff maintains that the exclusion of these two properties does not significantly impact the neighborhood average FAR, reducing it from 0.18 to 0.17 (Exhibit 6). The appellant submitted written comments via email (Exhibit 8) regarding their concerns about the potential impacts to privacy, the massing and scale, and design of the Project on February 12, 2025, and these comments were forwarded to the DRB the same day.

Additionally, staff provided copies of written comments to the DRB at the hearing, and the appellant also presented this information during the public comment portion of the hearing.

The appellants are correct that the outdoor shower was not identified in the 3D renderings, elevations, and site plan of the Project, but it was shown on the landscape plans. However, the location of the outdoor shower does not affect privacy impacts because it is located outside of the setback and screened from the public view by a six foot tall fence and gate.

The DRB’s approval included conditions to eliminate the second-story balcony, reduce the mass and scale of the second-story addition by relocating this square footage toward Whitehaven Terrace, and planting vegetation for privacy screening along the rear and side property lines. These conditions, in part, were incorporated into project approval to address privacy concerns. Prior to plan check, staff will evaluate revised plans to ensure that all conditions have been addressed. This review will include revised landscape plans to ensure that the plants proposed will provide for privacy screening. Once plans are approved, the landscaping must be installed pursuant to those plans and maintained for a minimum of five years per GMC 30.47.050. Additionally, reducing the mass of the second floor and moving it closer to the street were conditions, not “considerations” as the appellant claims and revised plans must demonstrate compliance with all conditions in order for staff to approve them. As such, the conditions imposed by the DRB adequately address the concerns raised by the appellant.

Part 4F (The appellant has new evidence of material facts not previously presented, which if considered should change the act, determination, or ruling) The appellant asserts new facts, which were not previously presented, and if considered, should change the approval decision. These facts include the statements provided for the reasons of appeal and insufficient speaking time. They also included letters that were sent via email to staff on February 12, 2025, which include map verification showing the properties, 1060 Old Phillips and 1066 Old Phillips, located outside the 300-feet radius from the Project property, photos showing the project site from different areas from the appellant properties, and the appellant’s version of line of sight drawing.

Staff Response:

The facts presented by the appellant were not new as these materials were submitted to staff as public comment and provided to the DRB prior to the hearing (Exhibit 8).

Furthermore, the DRB allowed each public speaker an additional 2 minutes to the allocated 3-minute time limit to express their concerns during the public comment section of the meeting.

The line-of-sight drawing that the appellants provided consists of a photo with a drawn-in sight line between the Project framing poles and the appellant’s property. This image 174 of 348 12 10a
was not professionally verified as opposed to the line-of-sight drawing provided by the Project architect.

SUMMARY
Based on the analysis of the appeal and the reasoning above, staff recommends that the City Council sustain the DRB’s decision to approve the Project with the original DRBimposed conditions. The Board members considered not only the site planning, but also the Project’s massing, scale, height, setback, landscaping, window placement, use of materials and colors and other architectural design elements and privacy in determining compatibility and consistency with the City’s Design Guidelines.

The basis of the DRB’s decision (the Record of Decision, Exhibit 4) includes the following:

Determination of Compatibility: Site Planning
The proposed site planning is appropriate, as modified by any proposed conditions, to the site and its surroundings for the following reasons:
• The condition to eliminate the cantilevered design and push the second-story volume towards the street will take the site’s topography into consideration by restricting the addition to follow the topography.
• Mechanical equipment and trash enclosure areas are screened behind the fence and gate on the eastern side yard of the residence.
• The new retaining walls feature landscaping to minimize the visual impact of the retaining walls.
• The project plan extends the existing deck towards the rear, bringing it more in line with the neighboring deck.
• The existing driveway is replaced with a new decorative permeable paving in the same footprint and slope.

Determination of Compatibility: Design and Detailing
The proposed design and detailing are appropriate, as modified by any proposed conditions, to the site and its surroundings for the following reasons:
• The project incorporates design details that are complementary to the contemporary farmhouse style of the single-family dwelling, such as limestone veneer, board-andbatten siding, and smooth stucco finish throughout the house. • The project proposes to utilize high-quality materials that reinforces the design of the home such as the aluminum-clad wood windows, multi-width slate tile roof, stainless steel chimney cap, wooden door, ornamental wooden moldings, trims, corbels, and fascia, and lantern sconces.
• The new driveway features cobblestone paving and concrete paving with turf and limestone paving for the walkway to enhance the curb appeal of the property. • The condition to eliminate the second-story balcony and planting of live plant materials along the rear and side property helps to mitigate privacy impacts to the adjacent properties.
• The condition to redesign the entry eliminates the monumental entry design.

STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The Code requires public notice when the Council considers approval of entitlements such as design review. Staff has published all required notices and has mailed copies of the notice to all property owners and occupants within 500 feet of the project. A public notice has also been posted on-site.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW (CEQA/NEPA)
The project is exempt from CEQA review as a Class 3 “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures” exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the project is the construction of a new single-family house. The property does not appear eligible for historic designation at the federal, state or local levels and is, therefore, not considered a historic resource under the California Environmental Quality Act.

Further, the Council hereby adopts, and incorporates herein by this reference, the analysis, findings, conclusions and conditions of the Design Review Board in its Record of Decision dated February 13, 2025 (Exhibit 4 to the Report).

FINDINGS
In approving the Design Review Case, the Council hereby makes the following findings:

Site Planning: The proposed site planning is appropriate, as modified by any conditions, to the site and its surroundings for the following reasons:
• The condition to eliminate the cantilevered design and push the second-story volume towards the street will take the site’s topography into consideration by restricting the addition to follow the topography. 178 of 348 2 • Mechanical equipment and trash enclosure areas are screened behind the fence and gate on the eastern side yard of the residence.
• The new retaining walls feature landscaping to minimize the visual impact of the retaining walls.
• The project plan extends the existing deck towards the rear, bringing it more in line with the neighboring deck.
• The existing driveway is replaced with a new decorative permeable paving in the same footprint and slope.

Mass and Scale: The proposed mass and scale are appropriate, as modified by any conditions, to the site and its surroundings for the following reasons:
• The neighborhood consists of both one- and two-story residences. The immediate west adjacent neighbor’s two-story residence is compatible with the proposed two-story addition.
• The proposed design change, from the existing Ranch style to contemporary farmhouse design, features variations of roof forms and breaks in the facade to minimize the visual impact from the street.
• The condition to reduce the massing and scale of the second-story volume, eliminate the second-story balcony, and cantilever the design creates a proportional massing that visually fits into the surrounding context. • The condition to redesign the roof plan to reduce the variations creates a proportional roof form for the structure.

Building Design and Detailing: The proposed building design and detailing are appropriate, as modified by any conditions, to the site and its surroundings for the following reasons:
• The project incorporates design details that are complementary to the contemporary farmhouse style of the single-family dwelling, such as limestone veneer, board-and-batten siding, and smooth stucco finish throughout the house. • The project proposes to utilize high-quality materials that reinforces the design of the home such as the aluminum-clad wood windows, multi-width slate tile roof, stainless steel chimney cap, wooden door, ornamental wooden moldings, trims, corbels, and fascia, and lantern sconces.
• The new driveway features cobblestone paving and concrete paving with turf and limestone paving for the walkway to enhance the curb appeal of the property. 179 of 348
3 • The condition to eliminate the second-story balcony and planting of live plant materials along the rear and side property helps to mitigate privacy impacts to the adjacent properties.
• The condition to redesign the entry eliminates the monumental entry design.

CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

2. Remove the second-story balcony.

3. Plant live vegetation of appropriate height along the rear and side of the property for privacy screening.

4. Modify the design of the second-story volume to create better proportions and reduce the prominence of the entryway.

5. Simplify the roof design by reducing the variation of roof forms to achieve a more proportional look in harmony with the overall home.

Project Summary
To add an 1,865 square-foot (SF) two-story addition and change the architectural style of the existing 1,938 SF single-story single-family residence with an attached 3-car garage constructed in 1973 on a 11,770 SF interior lot in the R1R-III (Restricted Residential Zone, Floor Area District III).

Environmental Review
The project is exempt from CEQA review as a Class 3 “New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures” exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the project involves a construction of one single-family residence.

Existing Property/Background
The project site is a 11,770 SF interior lot with frontage on Whitehaven Terrace. The site was previously graded with initial development of the site. It is predominantly flat, level with the street, but and slopes down at the southern one-third of the property. The site is developed with a 1,938 SF one-story single-family residence with an attached 3-car garage developed in 1973. The project site is accessed via an existing driveway along Whitehaven Terrace that is to be maintained.

EXHIBIT 3
188 of 348
5 The proposed addition creates a busy and disproportionate roof form. A condition is recommended to redesign the roof to provide variations that are proportionate for the residence.

Determination of Compatibility: Mass and Scale
The proposed massing and scale are appropriate, as modified by any proposed conditions, to the site and its surroundings for the following reasons:
• The neighborhood consists of both one and two-story residences. The immediate west adjacent neighbor’s two-story residence is compatible with the proposed twostory addition. • The proposed design change from the existing Ranch style to contemporary farmhouse design features variations of roof forms and breaks in the facade to minimize the visual impact from the street.
• The building relates well with the existing topography because the dwelling will be located predominately on areas on the site previously graded with a flat pad. • The second story volume is stepped back from the street and towards the rear half of the existing home.
• The proposed two-story addition appears disproportionate and massive and features variations in the roof that are too busy and too high. A condition is recommended to redesign the roof plans to simplify its design, bring better proportions and reduce the mass and height of the house.

If “no” select from below and explain:
☐ Design consistent with primary structure
☐ Design and materials of gates complement primary structure Determination of Compatibility: Design and Detailing
The proposed design and detailing are appropriate, as modified by any proposed conditions, to the site and its surroundings for the following reasons:
• The project incorporates design details that are complementary to the contemporary farmhouse style of the single-family dwelling, such as limestone veneer, board and batten siding, and smooth stucco finish throughout the house. • The project proposes to utilize high-quality materials that reinforces the design of the home such as the aluminum clad wood windows, multi-width slate tile roof, stainless steel chimney cap, wooden door, ornamental wooden moldings, trims, corbels, and fascia, and lantern sconces.
• The new driveway will feature cobblestone paving and concrete paving with turf and limestone paving for the walkway to enhance the curb appeal of the property. • The proposed second-story balcony is set back from the rear yard to minimize privacy impacts on the neighboring property, which is situated at a lower elevation.

Additionally, the balcony extension will not significantly alter or enhance the existing view.
________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation / Draft Record of Decision
Based on the above analysis, staff recommends Approval with Conditions. This determination is based on the implementation of the following recommended conditions:

Conditions

1. Revise design of the second story volume to be more proportional and reduce the monumental entry.
