City Council Staff Report
Ordinance 494 – Cargo Containers in Residential and Downtown-B Zones

Page 1 of 1 ends

To: Nicholas Wells, City Manager
Holtville City Council
From: Jeorge Galvan, AICP, City Planner
Date: May 28, 2024
Project: Ordinance 494 – Cargo Containers in Residential and Downtown-B Zones An interpretation of the Zoning Code was initiated in February 2018 to determine whether or not cargo containers would be allowed in various zones throughout the City. Numerous public hearings were held by the Planning Commission and City Council regarding the matter. Cargo containers were previously allowed in all industrial zones and C-2 commercial zones. The City Council approved Resolution 18-06 and Ordinance 491 on September 4, 2018 to allow improved cargo containers in Downtown-B zones subject to a Minor Use Permit. Council also approved Ordinance 494 on June 4, 2019 allowing improved cargo containers in all Residential Zones.

Ordinance 491 intended to amend Section 17.41.110 of the Holtville Municipal Code – “Downtown Code, Special Regulations” adding Sub-section E, outlining the development standards for cargo containers in the Downtown-B zone. Such standards include placement of the cargo container be restricted to the rear yard only, maximum square footage not to exceed 320 square feet, that cargo containers must be improved to comply with the architectural design requirements and all other requirements of the Downtown Code; and other similar requirements. Ordinance 491 also establishes the requirement of a Minor Use Permit for cargo containers.

Ordinance 494 allowed improved cargo containers in all residential zones and included a definition of an improved cargo container as one that has been modified for aesthetic purposes that may include siding material, color or modifications to make it consistent with the main structure and thus constituting an accessory structure.

Although both Ordinances were approved and a second reading was conducted, neither Ordinance was published in a newspaper circulated in Holtville. Building permits have been in issued for at least three cargo containers since the approval of both Ordinances.

Council is being asked once again to approve and adopt Ordinance 494 so that it can be published in the newspaper and be legally in force once again. Ordinance 491 is not up for consideration since it would be redundant with the passage of the updated Ordinance 494.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the adoption of Ordinance 494 allowing improved cargo containers in residential zones and Downtown-B zones and instructing the City Clerk to publish the Ordinance at least once in a newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the City of Holtville, together with the names of the members of the City Council voting for and against the same. Said publication shall occur after the second reading of the Ordinance.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 24-17 Approving the Extension of Water Utility Services Outside of City Limits to Specified Properties Located Near the Intersection of Olive Avenue and Underwood Road
ISSUE:

Shall the City Council approve Resolution No. 24-17, authorizing the extension of Water Service outside of City limits to six (6) specified residential properties located near the intersection of Olive Avenue and Underwood Road to facilitate the Pear Canal undergrounding project? PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The IID is prepared to underground the Pear Canal along Ninth Street between Olive and Melon Avenues, the last open section of the irrigation canal that used to run the length of the City.

Although this is essentially a stand-alone project, the City has procured funding to follow this operation with a separate project to extend the sidewalk along the north side of Ninth Street to improve the walkability of this area adjacent to the High School and in anticipation of the housing project proposed to be constructed north of the improvements.

DISCUSSION:

A construction challenge for IID existed for this project, as it would make it difficult to continue to service several nearby County-area residences served by surface water. It was determined that incentivizing these properties to convert to City water would be in the best interest of the project. Staff worked with IID on companion communication to those residents to encourage them to switch. IID had identified the properties that needed conversion, which ended up being a total of five. Over the past several months, all agreed to convert to City service.

The following property owners have submitted applications to extend and connect to the City’s existing water line:

REPORT TO COUNCIL
3 b
Reso 24-17 Ninth St Undergrounding Water Services (2024'06) Page 1 of 2 Water Service Connections for Pear Canal Undergrounding June, 2024
City staff has consulted with a local contractor to estimate the cost of installing the new service lines. That estimate was roughly $40,000 to $60,000, depending on how the connections are routed. A 12" PVC line runs along Olive Avenue, then stubs out at Underwood, so connections could easily be added for the Olive addresses. A minimum of a 2" line would need to be teed off on either side of that line on Underwood. There also exists the potential to loop the westward line with the . It has yet to be determined whether or not that expenditure could be covered under the IID funding source.

The subject properties are all near City of Holtville’s city boundary and within the City’s Sphere of Influence. The Imperial County Local Area Formation Commission (LAFCO), which is the agency empowered by State Law to govern boundary issues, requires a formal City Council and LAFCO action for extension of public services outside City limits.

FISCAL IMPACT:

For this immediate action, the City will underwrite the LAFCO filing fee of $2,000. It is assumed that these will be handled as group with one filing fee, however the possibility exists that they will need to be separate actions, which may require additional action.

CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the action be accepted and forwarded to LAFCO.

ALTERNATIVES:
1) Adopt the action as presented
2) Give staff alternate direction

ISSUE: calling for an election to be conducted by the
Shall the City Council approve Resolution No. 24-18, calling for an election to be conducted by the County of Imperial and requesting the consolidation of such an election with the Statewide General Election to be Held on November 5, 2024, for the purpose of filling the three expiring terms on the Holtville City Council?
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:

In December, 2024, the terms of three seats on the City Council will be expiring. The City Council members currently holding those seats are Mike Pacheco, Murray Anderson and Ginger Ward. That election can be -and as is standard practice, is - conducted in conjunction with the November County-wide elections. It is therefore necessary to call for, publicize and otherwise prepare for the possibility of an election to be held on November 5, 2024.

The City is required to make this request by early July in election years.

A proportional share of the election costs are charged to the City by the County, however this is far more economical than holding a stand-alone election.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City has only participated in two elections in the past decade. The allocated cost for those cycles were approximately $3,300 in 2022 and $2,200 in 2020.

CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION:

It is recommended that the resolution be adopted, calling for the election and consolidation with the Statewide General Election conducted regionally by the County of Imperial ALTERNATIVES:

1 City Council/CM Reports (06-10’24)
City of Holtville

REPORT TO COUNCIL
DATE ISSUED: June 7, 2024
FROM: Nick Wells, City Manager
SUBJECT: City Manager Update
INFORMATION ONLY – NO ACTION REQUIRED AT THIS TIME

ADMINISTRATION
Financial Audit – Multiple challenges with the new accounting software delayed work on the City’s annual financial audit. This is impacting the submission of the Single Audit of Federal funds, which was due March 31, however the Finance Department continues to work to rectify the issue. Auditors were finally able to begin work onsite recently and completed preliminary work.

Public Safety Lot/New Construction – Rubio Medina of Irvine, California was engaged in April,2023, to perform Architecture services to design Phase I (Fire Apparatus Bay) and Phase II (PS Administration & Fire Dormitories) of this project. Staff met with Mr. Medina multiple times in early May and iterative documents were discussed and revised. Pursuant to discussions between Chief Silva, the CM and Mr.

Medina regarding configuration, direction solidified for constructing a 3-bay apparatus section and a 2-story administration/residence area. Further discussion also clarified the placement of the building on the site and the external motif of the building. Feedback was provided to the architect and he was very open to incorporating ideas presented.

Mr. Medina is now moving forward with subconsultants for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc. Due to an increase in the size of the project over that which was called out in the RFP, the architect has approached the City about augmented funding, which will be brought to Council in May. The CM and Chief Silva checked in with the architect via Zoom recently and the project continues to develop.

Multiple conversations regarding augmented funding have taken place with staff, Mayor Anderson, and various entities. Some very positive leads have developed that will continue to be pursued. The CM compiled information from various sources and submitted an application for directed Congressional funding to Raul Ruiz’s office in early May. The City received word that the project was selected by the Congressman and recommended to the Congressional budget committee. We now await a positive response there!

PUBLIC WORKS

TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS
East Ninth Street Sidewalk Improvements – The City was awarded CMAQ money to complete this project through Caltrans and ICTC. Holt Group completed design on the project in late 2023. Staff worked with LAFCo, the County and a private landowner to finalize jurisdiction and easements in the project area.

SB1 funding was allocated to this and the West Ninth project in July, 2023. Advertising to procure contractors was run in January and Nicklaus Engineering (NEI) was selected as the RE/CM for the project.

A project kickoff meeting was held in early March with NEI, THG and staff to discuss issues and responsibilities. The construction bid opening was held on Tuesday, February 13, 2024, with a low bid actually coming in below the projected project cost. A request was made to Caltrans to reallocate some of Meeting Date 06/10/24

the funding to cover some non-construction costs. Contract documents have been completed by the contractor and counter signed by the City. A previously agreed upon administrative course of action to annex a small strip of the project from the County into the City is now requiring a more formal process. The CM met with the County CEO and Public Works Director to finalize all of the required paperwork, which will now need to go through a formal process with LAFCO. This has put the project on hold for a few weeks.

Pear Canal Undergrounding/Ninth Street Improvements (Olive to Melon) – this project has been discussed for some time. Initial action to proceed was taken in early 2021. A deposit was forwarded to IID to begin design and multiple site visits with staff, the IID and City Engineer took place to discuss issues that need to be addressed in design. Undergrounding work was scheduled to take place in December 2021, however, delays were discussed in those meetings from the IID side which eventually led to construction work being pushed back. The City has been awarded funding through ICTC for the resulting necessary sidewalk and roadway improvements. A conversation with Mr. Hawk revealed that he is waiting for this project to take place to begin construction of his adjacent housing project. LC Engineering was awarded the contract for design in February.

A construction challenge for IID existed for this project, as it would make it difficult to continue to service several nearby County-area residences served by surface water. It was determined that incentivizing these properties to convert to City water would be in the best interest of the project. Staff worked with IID to encourage the residents to switch. In March, the final remaining holdout submitted paperwork to connect to City water service, so staff is working with IID to get the project reinitialized. Separately, staff met with a contractor to establish physical connections. The CM is working with IID to schedule the work prior to the undergrounding operation. Action is on tonight’s docket to move this portion forward.

A new wrinkle developed wherein the dedicated Congressional funding IID procured is not immediately accessible. Although that is expected to be resolved fairly soon, the uncertainty begat the need to push the City’s project funding into next fiscal year to avoid non-performance. David Aguirre with ICTC worked with SCAG and Caltrans to accomplish that and, although there are still some final steps, it has been tentatively approved at the base level.

Pine Avenue Sidewalks – Subsequent to the awards of funding for streets projects utilizing Federal Highways dollars through ICTC in early 2022, another year of projects was quickly requested to be added.

Holtville submitted a project to capture CMAQ dollars to add sidewalks to either side of Pine Avenue between Fourth and Fifth Streets. Action to approve was taken in October, 2023.

Capital Improvements Project Listing – a meeting was held in November with staff, including the City Manager, City Engineer, City Planner and Water/Wastewater Lead Operator to discuss long term capital improvements needed in the City. Water system improvements, sewer system upgrades, streets projects and other issues were discussed and expected to be further explored. A more complete detailing of the discussion will be presented to the Council in the near future.

PARKS
Holtville Wetlands Project – In late 2016, approximately $3 million was granted to the City through the US Bureau of Reclamation (BoR). THG was selected for Grant Administration tasks and George Cairo Engineering (GCE) for design services. GCE was significantly behind schedule from the outset, but finally produced approved plans in 2021.

A construction RFP was released in early 2022 netted only one bid, which was significantly over (+/- $1.4 million) the construction budget. The BoR representative, Jeremy Brooks, was extremely helpful in moving the project along. In September, 2022, he was able to secure funding to bridge the gap to pay for construction. 3 City Council/CM Reports (06-10’24)
That funding was officially awarded in early February, 2023. Action to officially award the construction contract was taken in March and a pre-con meeting was held in early May, with the contractor onsite performing various activities simultaneously.

The site has now been fully constructed with regard to major earth work, piping and the inlet headworks, however there remains a holdup with a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). We await approval to tap into the River and begin the process of populating the beds with plant species.

When awaiting the ACE permit drug on, the project grant end date was looming on January 30. BoR was aware of the issue, but staff officially requested an extension in January, which was granted. The new completion deadline has been pushed to September, 2024. THG completed work on an additional set of documents requested by USACE and met with their representative in March. Although the application was not immediately accepted, he gave some positive feedback that things are on the right track and suggested a short list of fixes. THG resubmitted the amended application in early April, but was unable to connect with USACE until late-April. Although the application was deemed complete, the compliance officer insisted on an onsite inspection. That inspection was performed earlier this week and the compliance officer has now stated that the permit will now be reissued! THG is contacting the contractor to ramp back up as soon as the permit is in hand.

Railroad Trestle Repair – A grant was secured from the California Natural Resources Agency to repair the railroad trestle burned in a river bottom fire several years ago. This is necessary to connect the Trail to east side of the river and eventually the future Wetlands area. After over a decade and a half of being somewhat unsightly and unusable, the trestle will soon be fixed cosmetically and usable for pedestrian and non-motorized traffic. Documentation was finally signed for this grant in late October, 2021. The City Engineer completed the technical specification for the Scope of Work in June 2022 for the RFP. A decision was made to forestall the bid process a bit to allow construction costs to stabilize. An extension was secured in early October from the funding agency to allow this extra time. Kleinfelder, Inc., was selected for Design services in April. A meeting with the design team was held in early May wherein various facets of the project were discussed. Mayor Ward volunteered to sit in on meetings for this project when possible, so she and staff met with the design team via Zoom to discuss preliminary design concepts. Multiple ideas to control costs and stretch the project dollars were decided upon. Staff has continued to meet with the design team.

Mayor Ward and the CM have proceeded with the general direction of keeping the original character of the structure, while making concessions to keep costs under control.

At this point, most of the structural work has been completed, with additional work needed on ancillary elements such as landscaping and the proposed picnic area. A January update meeting between the Design team, the City Planner and the CM revealed that the project had stalled due to a needed topographical study that the consultant thought the City would provide. After discussion, Kleinfelder engaged a local consultant to produce the document and the project is back in motion. Preliminary plans were recently submitted for review. Other than requesting a reprioritization of the elements to be completed vis a vis available funding, the project is once again progressing and starting to take definitive shape. The designer recently inquired about prioritization of construction elements, so costing seems to be on the horizon.

At the SCAG event in May, 2022, the City Manager had multiple discussions about a Trail extension from the Trestle to the Country Club area, then to the UC Research station and eventually to Hwy 111 for easier access to IVC with active transportation funding options. The idea was well-received and staff will be meeting with other agencies about the concept in the future. Subsequently, the head of Public Works for the County was brought in and he was enthusiastically supportive. A new round of Active Transportation funding is now available, so staff is working on an application for funding this project. A public hearing was held at Planning Commission to solicit any comments from residents regarding the project. Although only one member of the public was on hand to register a comment, both his feedback and that from the PC was positive.
4 City Council/CM Reports (06-10’24)
Mellinger Alamo River Trail - A grant application through River Partners, a non-profit that deals in habitat restoration, for a project that would include our Wetlands trail spur, was unsuccessful in 2022, but a reapplication recently received approval. RP met with the City Manager and toured the site this week to kick off the project. They are in discussion with Nicklaus Engineering to design the project. Staff was contacted by NEI in March to discuss design elements. River Partners staff met briefly with the CM a few weeks ago while in town to do a physical “scouting” trip to decide a best path for the trail extension. We expect to meet with them and the design engineer soon to discuss. Staff has interacted with River Partners multiple times in the past few weeks. They have done some preliminary exploration and soil sampling and continue to move the project forward. They are now beginning weekly check-in meetings and more information will be forthcoming soon.

BUILDING DEPT - The City issued 59 building permits in 2024. A list of permits pulled by month is available on the City’s website at http://holtville.ca.gov/section.php?id=73.

Melon, LLC Housing Project (± 50) – A project has been in the works for some time at the northeast corner of Ninth and Melon, just outside the City limits. After years of confusion regarding the process, the project’s ownership group, led by John Hawk, engaged Development Design & Engineering in 2016 to assist in shepherding the project along. DD&E completed CEQA compliance and a Mitigated Negative Declaration was adopted by the Planning Commission and City Council in late 2020.

The project was presented at Planning Commission in October 2020 and drew a good deal of public opposition. PC action pushed the project forward with a designation of allowing R-1 or R-2 development, with Council accepting the PC recommendation in November, 2020. The more dense R-2 zoning designation would allow up to 8 units per acre or approximately 65 units. The annexation was approved by LAFCo in February, 2021. We await further submission from the project proponent.

Staff spoke with Mr. Hawk multiple times to remind him that there are still several requirements to move his project forward, which he could be doing concurrently with the preparation and construction of the IID and City improvements. He said he will be speaking to his partners. As the undergrounding and street work are imminent, he still needs to produce a site plan, building plans, pull permits, etc. The City’s project should now have no bearing on his timeline. This was reiterated to Mr. Hawk again in January.

AMG Sunset Rose Senior Apartments (± 33) – In July, 2022, the City was granted HOME funding for this AMG & Associates apartment project, proposed in the area of Third and Grape. This will create some longterm oversight by the City, but it does continue to add housing. A subdivision map was approved for the property. A consultant to administer this grant was engaged in May, 2022, and an application for additional subsidized financing was approved by the City in late November.

A pre-submittal meeting was held in early November to discuss necessary aspects to the construction with the project proponent, including offsite improvements. Much of the discussion centered on handling stormwater. Final map and the necessary proposed lot split were approved in late February as well. Since the closing of the financing, several paperwork/compliance issues cropped up that the City was left to work on. This was not the “deal” as originally presented, so staff sought assistance. Staff met with HCD representatives on this project in October. We are hoping they will assist in working with the contractor to get the project running more smoothly.

Start was delayed as construction bids came in significantly over projections. The developer has now made a drawdown on funding, however, the ownership group has been somewhat unresponsive as the project continues to sit in limbo. An extension on their CUP was requested and was granted by Planning Commission in May, so we still await the start of construction activities.

AMG Pine Crossing Apartments (± 64) – Staff has been notified by AMG, that the mirror image project across from Fern Crossing will be starting up, with plan submittal expected soon. The Building Inspector 5 City Council/CM Reports (06-10’24)
coordinated a meeting with a firm to perform the plan check, of whom the City Engineer approved. The Building Inspector finalized the agreement with the firm and submitted plans in June. The plans have already been returned to AMG with comments, so we await resubmission.

Peri & Sons Ag Labor Housing (66) – this project was introduced to Planning Commission earlier this week. It proposes to construct USDA-approved dormitory style housing for up to 660 H2A Visa Program agriculture laborers working for the applicant firm. PC approved the site plan and density waiver contingent on City Council approval of the land use designation and Conditional Use Permit. A Public Hearing was held at the last City Council meeting and the project was approved. We will now await more definitive site plans and building design for review.

WATER ENTERPRISE
Rate Study – The profitability of the Water Enterprise has been problematic in recent years. Coupled with the debt covenant to budget a net revenue of 120% of the annual debt service, a rate adjustment has been explored. A formal Water Rate Study must be completed, which will be brought back for discussion at some point in the future.
