WHEREAS, immediate intervention using cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) can significantly increase the chances of survival after cardiac arrest, and when CPR is combined with prompt defibrillation, the chances of surviving can double or even triple, but fewer than half of individuals who experience cardiac arrest receive bystander CPR before emergency services arrive; and
WHEREAS, raising public awareness about the warning signs of cardiac arrest, expanding community training in CPR, and ensuring access to AEDs in schools, businesses, and public spaces are proven measures that save lives; and
WHEREAS, local first responders, health professionals, and community organizations are committed to education, prevention, and emergency response training to reduce deaths from Sudden Cardiac Arrest; and
WHEREAS, Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month provides an opportunity for residents, schools, businesses, and civic groups to come together to promote heart health, life-saving skills, and preparedness in the event of an emergency.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jackie Peterson, Mayor of the City of Hemet, along with the Hemet City Council, do hereby proclaim the month of October 2025, as:

SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST AWARENESS MONTH
and encourage all residents to learn CPR, become familiar with AEDs, and take steps to protect themselves and others against this leading cause of preventable death.

2025 Hemet Beautification Contest Awards
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Receive and file the 2025 Hemet Beautification Contest presentation.

BACKGROUND:

The Hemet Beautification Contest was conceived as part of the City's ongoing efforts to enhance community appearance and increase civic pride. The idea originated from feedback gathered during community meetings and surveys, where residents expressed a desire for increased beautification efforts in the City. City staff researched and modeled the contest after similar initiatives in other California cities, such as Grover Beach and La Mirada, to encourage local participation and community engagement.

ANALYSIS:

The contest's goal was to motivate residents and businesses to enhance the aesthetics of their properties, contributing to Hemet's overall vibrancy and attractiveness. This initiative aligns with the City's broader strategic goals of promoting community improvement, sustainability, and public engagement.

The contest was structured to include seven awards: two citywide prizes (one for residential and one for commercial properties) and five district-level prizes (one for each City Council district), with each winner receiving $1,000. The contest categories—curb appeal, creative landscaping, architectural enhancements, and sustainability—were carefully chosen to promote aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly beautification efforts.

DISCUSSION:

13.D.

The Hemet Beautification Contest was promoted through a comprehensive outreach strategy, including Meta Platforms (Facebook and Instagram), the City Newsletter, and the City website, targeting local residents and businesses to maximize participation. This outreach successfully increased awareness and engagement, resulting in 42 applications across both residential and commercial properties.

The judging process involved City Council members selecting district winners, while Council Liaisons Jaculin Peterson and Linda Krupa conducted citywide judging. This announcement of the winners at the City Council meeting provides an opportunity to celebrate the success of this initiative, celebrate property owners, and encourage future participation in similar contests.

The following winners were selected:
 Citywide Residential Winner: Lisa Diehl, 3261 Park Ave  Citywide Commercial Winner: Prince of Peace Family Ministries/Darnell R Bailey Sr, 875 E Acacia Ave
 District 1 Winner: Lisa Diehl, 3261 Park Ave
 District 2 Winner: Marla Terrel, 1044 Mountain View Dr  District 3 Winner: Karryl Steppe, 655 La Mancha Pl
 District 4 Winner: Miguel Ramirez, 1330 Division Ct
 District 5 Winner: Mark Dunn, 326 South Harvard St
These winners will be recognized at the City Council meeting and awarded $1,000 each for their efforts.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.

Objective 1: Enhance the visual appearance of the community to make it attractive and reduce blight.

Objective 2: Explore and implement homelessness solutions for the City of Hemet.

Objective 3: Increase Public Safety visibility and response.

GOAL THREE: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
To connect and participate in a constant dialogue between members of the community, City staff, and elected officials to promote togetherness and positivity.

Objective 1: Deliver messaging to the Community that connects, is consistent, and relevant.

Objective 2: Increase transparency for the public.

Objective 3: Increase the community's pride within the City.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total prize for the Hemet Beautification Contest is $7,000, with seven winners receiving $1,000 each. There is sufficient budget in the Beautification program 110.00.2500.52400 to cover this cost.

As all expenses related to the contest are within the approved budget, no additional fiscal impact is anticipated.

Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Noah Rau, Public Works Director/City Engineer;
☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☒ Public Hearing TITLE:

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving an Energy Service Agreement in Final Form and Format Approved by the City Attorney with SolarMax Renewable Energy Provider, Inc. in the Amount of $1,496,381 and a 10% Contingency of $149,639, for the Design and Construction of a Solar Energy Project at the Hemet Public Library Pursuant to California Government Code Section 4217; Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Necessary Documents to Support the Award; and Authorizing the City Clerk to Record a Notice of Completion Upon Acceptance of the Work by the City Engineer
RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Hemet, California, Approving an Energy Service Agreement in Final Form and Format Approved by the City Attorney with SolarMax Renewable Energy Provider, Inc. in an Amount Not to Exceed $1,646,020, Including a 10% Contingency, for the Design and Construction of a Solar Energy Project at the Hemet Public Library Pursuant to California Government Code Section 4217; Authorizing the City Manager to Execute all Necessary Documents to Support the Award; and Authorizing the City Clerk to Record a Notice of Completion Upon Acceptance of the Work by the City Engineer.

BACKGROUND:

The Hemet Public Library is a significant community facility with ongoing operational costs, including high utility expenses due to size, operating hours, and heavy public usage. To reduce energy costs and promote environmental sustainability, the City has evaluated renewable energy alternatives for City facilities.

In May 2023, the City applied for the Building Forward Infrastructure Grant from the California State Library. In October 2023, the City was notified that the grant request was accepted by the State Library. On November 14, 2023, the City Council approved the acceptance of the grant and the funds to be used for the 25% match provided by the City. The grant included providing a backup generator

15.A.

for the facility as well, and this portion of the project will come forward as a separate proposed contract with another vendor.

In January 2025, the City issued a request for design-build proposals for this solar energy project and only received one proposal on February 27, 2025. Unfortunately, this single proposal did not conform to the requirements of the request for proposals and was ultimately rejected.

SolarMax Technology, Inc. (SolarMax) has submitted a proposal to provide a solar photovoltaic system at the Hemet Library. Staff has reviewed the proposal and determined that the project will result in cost savings to the City, while advancing sustainability goals.

California Government Code Section 4217 authorizes public agencies to enter into energy service contracts without competitive bidding if the agency finds that the anticipated cost of the energy services provided under the contract will be less than the anticipated cost of energy if purchased from other sources.

ANALYSIS:

SolarMax will design, construct, permit, and install a solar photovoltaic system sized to offset all of the Hemet Library’s net annual electricity usage. Over a 12-month period, there are some months the system will produce more than projected use, and other months will produce less than projected use, providing the net zero effect over the period. The system will be installed on-site and integrated with the existing electrical infrastructure.

The project will reduce the City’s reliance on grid-supplied electricity, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the City Council’s commitment to sustainability. Based on preliminary energy usage and rate analysis, staff estimates that the project will provide 49% savings in annual electricity costs, with greater cumulative savings over the system’s lifespan.

Under Government Code Sections 4217.10–4217.18, the City may enter into this agreement without competitive bidding after a duly noticed public hearing and a finding that the anticipated cost to the City will be less than the cost of purchasing electricity from the utility provider. The calculated net present value of the project per the attached proposal is $1,005,908, demonstrating that the project cost is less than the cost to purchase electricity from the utility provider.

DISCUSSION:

Staff has determined that the proposed Hemet Public Library solar project is financially prudent and legally compliant. The project provides both short-term and long-term financial benefits, while also demonstrating the City’s leadership in renewable energy adoption.

Approval of this agreement will allow the City to proceed with implementation immediately following Council action, resulting in near-term cost savings and long-term energy independence for a critical community facility. The overall project is anticipated to take approximately six months to complete, including design and permitting.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:

15.A.

 On November 14, 2023, the City Council accepted the Building Forward State Library grant to install solar and backup generator at the Hemet Library.  On April 23, 2024, the City Council authorized appropriations for the project to be established.

STRATEGIC PLAN INTEGRATION:

GOAL ONE: QUALITY OF LIFE:

To ensure that Hemet is safe, clean, attractive and comfortable for all who live, work, and visit.

Objective 1: Enhance the visual appearance of the community to make it attractive and reduce blight.

Objective 2: Explore and implement homelessness solutions for the City of Hemet.

Objective 3: Increase Public Safety visibility and response.

GOAL FIVE: ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
To identify the work needed inside the City organization to effectively provide services to the community and ensure financial stability.

Objective 1: Operate in a financially sustainable manner.

Objective 2: Evaluate existing practices to ensure continuity with industry best practices.

Objective 3: Provide Council with policies that are consistent while lessening liabilities.

Objective 4: Increase employee retention by training and creating a positive workplace.

Objective 5: Streamline fire prevention coordination efforts.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funding for this award is available in CIP 2405 and consists of 75% funding from the Building Forward Infrastructure State Library Grant and 25% allocated City match funds from the Library Facilities Fund 363.

ALTERNATIVE(S):

1. Do not approve the agreement with SolarMax Technology Inc.

2. Provide alternative direction to the City Manager.

7he InIlation RedXction Act (IRA) oI 2022 estaElished a Iederal Investment 7ax Credit (I7C) Ior energy storage system (ESS) projects at a rate oI 30% oI the total ESS system cost. 7he IRA explicitly stated that the 30% ESS I7C was applicaEle Ior standalone ESS projects, and also ESS projects paired with a solar P9 system. 7he ESS I7C was estaElished Ior 10 years, throXgh 2032. Unlike tax dedXctions, this tax credit can Ee Xsed to directly oIIset yoXr tax liaEility dollar Ior dollar. 7he IRA allows a carryEack period oI 3 years, and the carryIorward period oI 22 years, in cases where the tax credit exceeds a cXstomerÎs tax liaEility in the Íplaced-in-serviceÎ year. For ESS projects greater than 1 MW AC in size, the IRA estaElished prevailing wage and apprenticeship reTXirements in order to TXaliIy Ior the IXll 30% Ðincreased rateÑ, rather than a ÐEase rateÑ which woXld only TXaliIy Ior a 6% I7C. Projects with an oXtpXt oI less than 1 megawatt TXaliIy Ior the Ðincreased rateÑ irrespective oI iI prevailing wage or apprenticeship reTXirements are met.

Under the Iederal ModiIied Cost Recovery System (MACRS), EXsinesses may recover investments in Energy Storage System (ESS) property throXgh depreciation dedXctions over a 5-year estaElished liIespan. For ESS systems, the taxaEle Easis oI the eTXipment mXst Ee redXced Ey 50% oI any Iederal tax credits associated with the system. 7he 7ax CXts and JoEs Act oI 201 inclXded provisions that modiIied EonXs depreciation Xnder Code Section 168(k). ESS projects that were placed in service aIter SeptemEer 2, 201 and EeIore JanXary 1, 2023 were eligiEle Ior 100% EonXs depreciation, allowing eligiEle entities to dedXct the entire allowaEle tax Easis oI the system in the Iirst year oI operation. Projects placed in service in 2025 TXaliIy Ior 40% EonXs depreciation, which means in the Iirst year oI service, companies can elect to depreciate 40% oI the Easis while the remaining 60% is depreciated Xnder the normal MACRS schedXle.

City of Hemet
City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Oct 14 2025
Department: Community Development
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Monique Alaniz-Flejter, Community Development Director; ☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☒ Public Hearing TITLE:

Appeal (APL) 25-003: Appeal of the decision of the Hemet Planning Commission to approve Tentative Parcel Map. No 38430 (MAP 23-002) – to subdivide three (3) Parcels into ten (10) parcels on approximately 7.25 acres within the Ramona Plaza Shopping Center. This is a continued public hearing.

Environment Action: The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1 (k), which consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. This includes subdivision of existing commercial or industrial buildings, where no physical changes occur.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

1. Open a public hearing and take testimony, if any; and

2. Uphold Planning Commission Determinations: the determinations of the Planning Commission to Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-011 to approve Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 38340; based on the findings and exhibits, and subject to the attached Amended Conditions of Approval; and

3. Deny Appeal No. 25-003: the appellant’s appeal of the Planning Commission approval of a subdivision of three (3) Parcels into ten (10) parcels on approximately 7.25 acres within the Ramona Plaza Shopping Center, subject to the Amended Conditions of Approval.

BACKGROUND:

On September 23,2025 the City Council voted (5-0) to continue the public hearing to allow the applicant’s attorney and appellant to work with the City on amendments to the conditions of approval regarding undergrounding of utilities and landscaping.

15.B.

ANALYSIS:

The appellant, who is also the applicant, and their attorney have reviewed the following amended conditions. To date, no objection to these amendments has been identified.

Condition No. 9
Prior to Final Map approval, the applicant shall submit a comprehensive Landscape and Irrigation Plan to the Planning Division for permit issuance that restores on-site landscaping to at least the 2011 baseline conditions, including replanting existing street-tree wells along Florida Avenue and refreshing interior planter areas with flowering shrubs and hedges. The plan shall comply with the Hemet Municipal Code, the City’s Landscape Guidelines, and the State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO), and shall maintain ADA sight-distance triangles and path-of-travel clearances. Plant material shall meet minimum sizes of 24-inch box for trees, 5-gallon for shrubs, and 1-gallon for groundcover, with 75% coverage within two years. The plan shall coordinate around utilities, light poles, and signage, and include root barriers where adjacent to paving. Installation shall occur under applicable permits to the satisfaction of the Planning Division and City Engineer, with asbuilts provided at completion, and ongoing maintenance assigned in the CC&Rs.

Condition No. 22
Applicant shall execute and record, to the satisfaction of the City Attorney and City Engineer, a Covenant and Agreement (Undergrounding Deferral and Notice of Obligation) running with each parcel created by the map, which (i) defers performance of undergrounding (or payment of an adopted in-lieu fee where authorized) for an individual parcel proposing a Triggering Event and (ii) binds current and future owners to satisfy the obligation upon the Triggering Event. A Triggering Event means the earliest of the following on any parcel created by this map: (1) Issuance of a building permit for new floor area, a new pad building, or structural addition that increases gross floor area; (2) A change of use or tenant improvement that increases intensity (including but not limited to trip generation, occupancy load, parking demand, or public-service demand) above the existing approved baseline for that space; (3) Installation, relocation, or upgrade of electrical service equipment (including new or upsized transformers, main switchgear, or additional meters) or an increase in the parcel’s maximum service amperage or connected load beyond existing conditions; (4) Any discretionary entitlement that expands building area, site development, or operating intensity; or (5) Street frontage work associated with private development that opens/ reconstructs sidewalks, curb, gutter, or drive approaches along the parcel’s frontage (excluding routine maintenance); and under which any of the 5 Triggering Events materially increases , intensifies or expands electrical use (“Increase in Electrical Use”) within the Parcel or Parcels.

Upon a Triggering Event resulting in an Increase in Electrical Use for a parcel, the owner of that parcel shall underground qualifying overhead distribution lines along that parcel’s frontage and, if required by the City Engineer for continuity, to the nearest off-site joint utility poles on either end, in accordance with HMC § 82-172 and utility rules. All new utility service laterals on the parcel shall be placed underground. Where an undergrounding segment benefits multiple parcels created by this map, the City Engineer may apportion costs among parcels based on linear frontage length, electrical service demand, or other reasonable nexus-based metrics, and may accept joint performance agreements among parcel owners. For purposes of clarification, the only condition precedent under this condition 22 to the City’s approval of a Final Subdivision Map for Tract 38430 and recordation thereof shall be the parties' execution of the Covenant and Agreement referenced above.

15.B.

Condition No. 34
The applicant shall install street trees and irrigation in the public right-of-way along Florida Avenue and San Jacinto Street in accordance with City standards, generally at 40 feet on-center or as adjusted by the City Engineer to avoid utilities, driveways, and sight-distance conflicts. Trees shall be selected from the City-Approved Street Tree List, be a minimum 24-inch box, and include deepwatering devices, staking, and linear root barriers where adjacent to hardscape. A fully automatic irrigation system with a dedicated service or meter for right-of-way landscaping shall be provided.

Planting, irrigation, and spacing shall comply with the City’s Landscape Guidelines and current ADA requirements. Work within State Highways 74 and 79 requires Caltrans encroachment permits and utility approvals, and shall not proceed until such permits are issued. Installed trees shall be warranted for one year, and any dead, diseased, or vandalized trees shall be replaced within 30 days of City notice. Long-term operation and maintenance shall be provided consistent with Condition 35 (LLMD/CFD formation or annexation).

30. Owner/Applicant shall construct or install all improvements required in the public right-of-way to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and provide as-built (record) drawings.

31. Owner/Applicant shall replace any sidewalk, curb and gutter, drive approach, AC pavement or other improvement damaged during construction as determined necessary by the City Engineer.

32. The Applicant/Developer shall prepare plans for all improvements in the public right-of-way for Florida Avenue and San Jacinto Street. a. Florida Avenue (Highway 74) – This right-of-way is Caltrans right-of-way.

Caltrans should be consulted to verify that all necessary right-of-way and road improvements are existing. The City of Hemet General Plan designates this street as a Divided Secondary-A 4D, which is a 94’ rightof-way. The current half-street right-of-way shows 50’, which is more than the required 47’ right-of-way, however the street lacks the two bike lanes as shown in the general plan. Existing condition of the roadway and rightof-way appears to meet or exceed City standards although dimensions on TPM are insufficient. On the final PM the subdivision boundary will be required to be shown to the centerline. New driveway approaches along Florida Avenue will be required to replace existing approaches per City Standard C-210A (commercial driveway approach). All constructed or reconstructed as necessary to meet current ADA requirements.

Owner/Applicant will be responsible to make those improvements in accordance with plans approved by Caltrans and the City Engineer.

Access to/from Florida will be limited to right in/right out only. No median cuts will be permitted. Parking will continue to be prohibited along Florida Avenue.
b. San Jacinto Street (Highway 79) – This right-of-way is Caltrans right-ofway. Caltrans should be consulted to verify that all necessary right-ofway and road improvements are existing. The City of Hemet General Plan designates this street in this area as a Secondary 4U, which is a 94’ rightof-way. Current right-of-way is shown as 40’ with a 7’ easement per the APN map, which is not reflected on the TPM. The discrepancy between the APN map and the TPM need to be rectified as it does not appear that the TPM is showing the correct dimensions according to the APN map. A 47’ right-of-way may be required to be provided, however this may not be practicable based upon building locations. All driveway approaches and sidewalks will need to meet the current ADA requirements.

33. The construction of new driveway approaches along Florida Avenue and San Jacinto Street which comply with ADA requirements would appear to require dedication of easements to the City of Hemet for sidewalk and pedestrian purposes. Any dedications of this type can be made on the final PM.

34. The applicant shall install street trees and irrigation in the public right-of-way along Florida Avenue and San Jacinto Street in accordance with City standards, generally at 40 feet on-center or as adjusted by the City Engineer to avoid utilities, driveways, and sight-distance conflicts. Trees shall be selected from the CityApproved Street Tree List, be a minimum 24-inch box, and include deep-watering devices, staking, and linear root barriers where adjacent to hardscape. A fully automatic irrigation system with a dedicated service or meter for right-of-way landscaping shall be provided. Planting, irrigation, and spacing shall comply with the City’s Landscape Guidelines and current ADA requirements. Work within State Highways 74 and 79 requires Caltrans encroachment permits and utility approvals and shall not proceed until such permits are issued. Installed trees shall be warranted for one year, and any dead, diseased, or vandalized trees shall be replaced within 30 days of City notice. Long-term operation and maintenance shall be provided consistent with Condition 35 (LLMD/CFD formation or annexation).

35. Replacement street trees and automatic irrigation system will be required to planted in existing tree wells in the right-of-way along Florida Avenue. Additional landscaping and irrigation may be required in the right-of-way or in additional landscape easement to be dedicated along San Jacinto Street. The applicant will be required to join/form a Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District (LLMD) or Annexation into the Citywide CFD for operation and maintenance of landscaping within the public right-of-way fronting the site. Formation/annexation fees are applicable.

36. This site is in the sewer and water service area of Lake Hemet Municipal Water District (LHMWD). On the site plan/TTM show all sewer and water mainlines and service laterals extending to the building connection points. The Owner/Applicant will be required coordinate with LHMWD and all affected utility companies and obtain any permits as necessary for the development of this project as shown on approved plans. Applicant is advised to contact LHMWD prior to application for a subdivision entitlement to determine any service reconfiguration requirements necessary with the creation of new saleable lots.

37. The subdivider shall provide an easement dedicated to the City over and across all water quality, stormwater and drainage basins for ingress, egress and maintenance as may be applicable and necessary, unless otherwise directed by the City Engineering.

39. Final Map shall be prepared by a California registered Land Surveyor or qualified Civil Engineer and submitted to the Engineering Department for review and approval. A Title Report and Subdivision Guarantee prepared for subdivision of the property, the traverse closures for the existing subdivision boundary and lots created therefrom, and copies of all applicable record documents shall be submitted with the Final Map to the Engineering Department as part of the review of the map. The Final Map shall be approved by the City Council and recorded prior to issuance of building permits.

40. Prior to Final Map approval Subdivider shall submit a copy of draft Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) to the Planning Department for approval in a format to be approved by the City Attorney. The draft CC&R package shall include, but no limited to:
c. The document to convey title.

City Council Meeting

STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council Meeting - Sep 23 2025
Department: Community Development
Submitted by: Mark Prestwich, City Manager
Monique Alaniz-Flejter, Community Development Director; ☐ Receive and File ☐ Consent Calendar ☐ Business Item ☒ Public Hearing TITLE:

Appeal (APL) 25-003: Appeal of the decision of the Hemet Planning Commission to approve Tentative Parcel Map. No 38430 (MAP 23-002) – to subdivide three (3) Parcels into ten (10) parcels on approximately 7.25 acres within the Ramona Plaza Shopping Center Environment Action: The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301, Class 1 (k), which consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. This includes subdivision of existing commercial or industrial buildings, where no physical changes occur.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is respectfully recommended that the City Council:

1. Open a public hearing and take testimony, if any; and

2. Uphold Planning Commission Determinations: the determinations of the Planning Commission to Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-011 to approve Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 38340; based on the findings and exhibits, and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval; and

3. Deny Appeal No. 25-003: the appellant’s appeal of the Planning Commission approval of a subdivision of three (3) Parcels into ten (10) parcels on approximately 7.25 acres within the Ramona Plaza Shopping Center, subject to the Conditions of Approval.

BACKGROUND:

On August 19, 2025, the Planning Commission approved a Tentative Parcel Map application to allow the subdivision of three (3) parcels into ten (10) parcels on approximately 7.25 acres within the Ramona Plaza Shopping Center, subject to Conditions of Approval and recordation of a Final Map within 24 months of approval.

At that meeting, the Planning Commission voted (5/0) to:

15.B.

1. Adopt Planning Commission Resolution to approve Tentative Parcel Map (TPM) 38340 for finance and conveyance purposes; based on the findings and exhibits, and subject to the attached Conditions of Approval.

2. Direct Staff to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk.

On August 27, 2025, an Appeal was received from Hillwig-Goodrow, Inc. on behalf of Ramona Plaza 2022, LLC, regarding the imposition of Condition No. 22 requiring undergrounding of utilities.

ANALYSIS:

Grounds for Appeal
The Appellant has indicated that Condition No. 22 is unlawful as the project does not propose any change in the physical condition of the Property or increase physical impacts or utility demands. The Appellant also expressed a belief that Condition No. 22 violates the United States and California Constitutions, which require that any condition of approval imposed on a development project must contain a reasonable "Nexus" between the impact of the subdivision/development and the proposed development condition.

Response to Appeal
In accordance with Hemet Municipal Code Section 82-172 all subdivisions shall be required to place underground all existing overhead utility lines serving the building, including not limited to electrical distribution lines, telephone, street light service lines, cable television and similar service wires or cables. This includes existing utility lines that are located within the boundaries of the subdivision.

If the developer believes undergrounding of the utilities to be a financial hardship, Section 82-172 (d) of the Hemet Municipal Code allows for the payment of an in lieu fee in certain circumstances. On September 12, 2017, the city council established by Resolution No. 4770 fees that may be paid in lieu of undergrounding existing overhead utility lines, which includes an underground utility in lieu fee of $280 per linear foot of electrical lines, $35 per linear foot for each additional utility (cable, telephone, et.) co-located with the electrical lines, and $65 for non-electrical utilities not co-located with electrical lines. In this case, based on early communications with a representative from Hillwig-Goodrow Inc and the Public Works/Engineering Department, it was determined that the cost to underground would likely exceed 10% of the improvements associated with this parcel map and that the in-lieu fee would be considered in accordance with Section 82-172 (d)(8).

The in-lieu fee shall be paid to the city before the approval of the final subdivision map, or building permit, whichever occurs first. A developer may pay the fee in lieu of undergrounding existing utility lines in the following situations:
(1) The length of utility lines to be placed underground will be less than 300 feet, and the utility lines have not been placed underground on any property abutting the subject property. (2) Existing on-site utility lines also serve property under separate ownership. (3) The city engineer determines that undergrounding would not result in a net reduction of utility poles.

15.B.

(4) The expansion of an existing building or buildings on a site if the proposed expansion does not increase the total gross floor area of the building or buildings by more than 100 percent. In such cases, the amount of the in-lieu fee to be paid shall be prorated based on the percentage increase in total gross floor area on the site.
(5) The demolition and reconstruction of all or part of an existing building or buildings on a site if the total gross floor area of the buildings on the site will be increased by no more than 100 percent. In such cases, the amount of the in-lieu fee to be paid shall be prorated based on the percentage increase in total gross floor area on the site.
(6) The city engineer determines that existing utility lines cannot be placed underground without severely disrupting existing improvements.
(7) The physical or legal character of existing utility easements will not allow utility lines to be placed underground.
(8) The city engineer determines, based on evidence provided by the developer, that the cost to underground existing overhead utility lines would constitute an undue financial hardship by exceeding ten percent of the project's hard costs. For the purposes of this subsection, "hard costs" include all direct construction costs associated with the project on the property being developed and within the adjacent public right-of-way, but do not include any development-related fees imposed by a governmental agency, including the city, architectural, engineering, financing, and legal fees, and other pre- and post-construction expenses.

On-Site Utilities
As provided by the applicant during the Entitlement Review, a study of existing utilities has been conducted to ensure that the property can continue to be served by wet and dry utilities. All of the existing buildings and the proposed parcels are currently served by sewer, water, gas, electric, and communication utilities. No additional services are proposed. Public Utility Easements will be reserved in Parcels 9 and 10 for all existing serving utilities on the Final Parcel Map. An aerial map identifying general locations of overhead utilities has been provided in Attachment No. 4.

Sewer
Laterals for all parcels are from the sewer line on the South and West sides of the existing structures.

Lateral positions shown are from available records by Lake Hemet Municipal Water District (LHMWD).

Water
Parcels 1-4 are served from the water main within Parcel 10, along the easterly boundary of the project. Parcels 5-7 are served from a water main north of the structures. Parcel 8 is served by the water main in San Jacinto Avenue.

Lake Hemet Water District

Request for Waiver of Undergrounding
On August 13, 2025, the Applicant submitted an email requesting an exemption for waiver of the undergrounding based upon a preliminary cost estimate of $3.5 million. The cost estimate was forwarded to the Public Works/ Engineering Department for review. Based on a preliminary assessment of the cost estimates, it was determined that the calculations may have been inaccurate.

The applicant was going to follow-up with their consultant to determine how the cost estimates were determined with the appropriate linear footage. Since then, the applicant has not responded or provided a follow-up.

Current right-of-way is shown as 40’ with a 7’ easement per the APN map, which is not reflected on the TPM. The discrepancy between the APN map and the TPM need to be rectified as it does not appear that the TPM is showing the correct dimensions according to the APN map. A 47’ right-of-way may be required to be provided, however this may not be practicable based upon building locations. All driveway approaches and sidewalks will need to meet the current ADA requirements.

33. The construction of new driveway approaches along Florida Avenue and San Jacinto Street which comply with ADA requirements would appear to require dedication of easements to the City of Hemet for sidewalk and pedestrian purposes. Any dedications of this type can be made on the final PM.

Formation/annexation fees are applicable.

36. This site is in the sewer and water service area of Lake Hemet Municipal Water District (LHMWD).

(Supp. No. 68, Update 3)

Sec. 82-172. Undergrounding utility lines by developer. (a) Requirement for the underground installation of utility lines. Except as provided in this section, any person constructing a new building or expanding an existing building upon a parcel or parcels with at least 600 feet of street frontage, as well as all subdivisions and planned unit developments, shall be required to place underground all new utility lines and all existing overhead utility lines serving the building, including but not limited to electrical distribution lines, telephone, street light service lines, cable television and similar service wires or cables. Electrical distribution lines over 34,500 volts or that are otherwise considered by the electric utility to be high voltage or a part of the electrical utility backbone are not required to be installed underground by this section. Appurtenances and associated equipment (other than poles), such as, but not limited to surface-mounted transformers and pedestal-mounted meter boxes, may be placed on the ground surface, subject to city guidelines for screening of such facilities. The undergrounding of existing utility lines shall include only those which are located:
(1) Within the boundaries of the property being developed, subdivision, or planned unit development; or (2) Within the public right-of-way adjacent to the property and extending to the first existing utility pole beyond the property's boundaries.
(b) Responsibility for compliance. Arrangements, including payment of all costs, for undergrounding utility lines as required by this section shall be made by the developer or owner of the property to be developed.

Undergrounding of utility lines may be done by the developer or property owner, with permission from the serving utility.
(c) Timing of compliance. Undergrounding shall be completed:
(1) Prior to the inspection approval of related street improvements; or (2) Prior to certificate of occupancy if no related street improvements are required.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, temporary power poles are permitted for the purpose of, and only during the duration of, construction. Temporary power poles and all appurtenances must be removed as a condition of receipt of a certificate of occupancy.
(d) In lieu fee. The city council may establish by resolution a fee that may be paid in lieu of undergrounding existing overhead utility lines. The in-lieu fee shall be paid to the city prior to the approval of the final subdivision map, or building permit, whichever occurs first. A developer may pay the fee in lieu of undergrounding existing utility lines in the following situations:
(1) The length of utilities lines to be placed underground will be less than 300 feet and the utility lines have not been placed underground on any property abutting the subject property. (2) Existing on-site utility lines also serve property under separate ownership. (3) The city engineer determines that undergrounding would not result in a net reduction of utility poles.

(3) The demolition and reconstruction of all or part of an existing building or buildings on a site where the total gross floor area of the buildings on site will be increased by no more than 30 percent. (4) The reconstruction of an existing building damaged by fire, flood, earthquake or other cause over which the owner had no control.
(5) An infill project, which for purposes of this section consists of a site with no more than ten acres, where all adjacent frontage has been developed and the adjacent frontage have not been undergrounded.

The site is currently developed as a shopping center with in-line commercial buildings totaling 114,027 square feet, including 331 standard parking spaces and 15 accessible parking spaces. Based on historic aerial images and County records, the shopping center was constructed in 1967. The applicant is proposing a multi-ownership commercial center through parcel map application. No expansion of the existing shopping center is proposed.

Existing tenants within the shopping center include Aaron's Furniture, Electronics and Appliances, Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, Bravo Dental Group, Little Caesars Pizza, Mr. you Donuts Shop, Leslie's Pool Supplies, Subway, Planet Fitness, Super Nails & Spa, Dollar Tree, Patty's Rotisserie Chicken, and La Huasteca Cocina Restaurant. Access to the existing shopping center is served by three driveway approaches on Florida Avenue and four driveway approaches on San Jacinto Street.

In response to the tentative parcel map application, the applicant has been worked diligently with City staff to ensure that health and safety upgrades, accessibility compliance, and future maintenance responsibilities are addressed.

As provided in the Draft Conditions of Approval (Exhibit A), the property owner will be required to construct new driveway approaches along Florida Avenue and San Jacinto Street to meet current ADA requirements, construction of new trash enclosures to meet the demands of the shopping center, re-striping of the parking lot with ADA compliant path of travel, and establishment of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R's) for the Shopping Center for each future property owner to abide by, including the submission of master sign program and establishment of a Ramona Plaza architectural review committee for uniform design standards within the center. The CC&R's will also include maintenance and responsibility provisions to be reviewed and approved by the city attorney. All conditions of approval must be satisfied prior to the recordation of the final map.

As provided by the applicant, a study of existing utilities have been conducted to ensure that the property can continue to be served by wet and dry utilities. All of the existing buildings and the proposed parcels are currently served for sewer, water, gas, electric and communication utilities. No additional services are proposed. Public Utility Easements will be reserved in Parcels 9 and 10 for all existing serving utilities on the Final Parcel Map.

Sewer
Laterals for all parcels are from the sewer line on the South and West side of the existing structures.

Water
Parcels 1-4 are served from the water main within Parcel 10, along the easterly boundary of the project. Parcels 5-7 are served from a water main north of the structures. Parcel 8 is served by the water main in San Jacinto Avenue.

Lake Hemet Water District
The property is located within the Lake Hemet Water District. The District has evaluated the tentative parcel map and has no objection to the proposal. Water is served on-site by LHMWD owned and maintained facilities. On-site sewer facilities are not owned or maintained by LHMWD and are the responsibility of the property.

b. San Jacinto Street (Highway 79) – This right-of-way is Caltrans right-ofway. Caltrans should be consulted to verify that all necessary right-ofway and road improvements are existing. The City of Hemet General Plan designates this street in this area as a Secondary 4U, which is a 94’ rightof-way. Current right-of-way is shown as 40’ with a 7’ easement per the APN map, which is not reflected on the TPM. The discrepancy between the APN map and the TPM need to be rectified as it does not appear that the TPM is showing the correct dimensions according to the APN map. A 47’ right-of-way may be required to be provided, however this may not be practicable based upon building locations. All driveway approaches and sidewalks will need to meet the current ADA requirements.

33. The construction of new driveway approaches along Florida Avenue and San Jacinto Street which comply with ADA requirements would appear to require dedication of easements to the City of Hemet for sidewalk and pedestrian purposes. Any dedications of this type can be made on the final PM.

34.
