ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 2022-39 ADOPTING THE GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-23. (0300-95)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Finance
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The Gann Appropriations Limit (Gann Limit) for Fiscal Year 2022-23 must be approved by a resolution of the City Council in accordance with the Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 7910.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends City Council adoption of Resolution No. 2022-39 adopting the Gann Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

OPTIONS:
 City Council adoption of Resolution No. 2022-39 adopting the Gann Appropriations Limit for Fiscal Year 2022-23.
 Request additional information and an additional report BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

In November 1979, the California voters passed Proposition 4 (Article XIII B – also known as the “Gann Limit”), which placed limits on the growth of expenditures for public programs funded by the collection of taxes. Division 9 of Title 1, beginning with Section 7900 of the Government Code, was added to establish the process for calculating state and local government appropriations limits and appropriations subject to limitation under Article XIII B of the California Constitution.

These constitutional and statutory sections explain and define the appropriations limit and appropriations subject to limitation as they apply to state and local government. The Revenue and Taxation Code, Section 7910, indicates that local governments must establish an appropriations limit by resolution each year at a regularly scheduled meeting or a noticed special meeting.

On June 5, 1990, Proposition 111 was voted into California law and provided changes in the calculation of the Gann Limit. The annual adjustments to the spending limit were liberalized by Proposition 111 to be more closely linked to the rate of economic growth in personal income or the percent increase in the local tax roll due to non-residential property construction. Additionally, cities can choose to use the rate of change in population either within the City or County,

Page 15 of 388 ends

P a g e | 2
whichever is higher. The City utilized elements of these adjustment factors in calculating this year’s Gann Limit. The Gann calculation is reviewed annually by the City’s external audit firm as part of the annual audit process.

In simple terms, the Gann Limit ensures that local governments do not increase expenditures funded from taxes faster than taxes are likely to increase. This helps local governments to keep spending in check with potential increases in revenue.

As part of the 2021-22 and 2022-23 budget adoption process, City Council adopted Resolution 2021-30 which not only adopted the City’s two-year budget, but also established the FY 2021-22 Gann Limit of $29,518,086. Now that current calculation factors have been released by the State of California Department of Finance, it is appropriate to adopt the FY 2022-23 Gann Limit.

Staff has calculated the Imperial Beach Gann Limit for FY 2022-23 to be $31,721,304. The City’s tax proceeds subject to the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Gann Limit equal $13,420,123 (based on the FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget) or 42% of the limit. Therefore, the City is under the Gann limitation by $18,301,181 and in compliance with State law. Adoption of Resolution No. 2022-39 (Attachment 1) will formalize the Gann Limit calculation for Fiscal Year 2022-23. The Gann limit calculation is attached (Attachment 2).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

ITEM TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IMPERIAL BEACH,

CALIFORNIA, CONTINUING THE PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF AN ONGOING LOCAL EMERGENCY RELATED TO COVID-19. (0210-25)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

On March 12, 2020, the City’s Director of Emergency Services proclaimed the existence of a local emergency within the City, and on March 16, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2020-13 to ratify the proclamation of the City’s Director of Emergency Services. The law requires that the local emergency declaration be reviewed periodically. The Council has reviewed the need for and approved resolutions periodically since March 2020 to continue the ongoing state of emergency.

The local emergency related to COVID-19 continues to exist, and the attached resolution is before the Council to declare the continuation of the local state of emergency.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Resolution No. 2022-43
OPTIONS:
 Approve resolution; or
 Provide direction to the City Manager.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

Since the City Council approved Resolution No. 2020-13 on March 16, 2020, the COVID-19 emergency has continued. The Health Officer of the County of San Diego issued the current Limited Order of the Health Officer and Emergency Regulations which delineates its current regulations.

The number of cases throughout the County, State, and country still increase on a daily basis, especially due to variants. COVID-19 therefore has and will continue to cause conditions of peril to the health, safety, and welfare of persons and property in the City.

Preparing for, responding to, mitigating, and recovering from the spread of COVID-19 requires the City to divert resources from normal day-to-day operations and alter normal day-to-day operations. The City needs the ability to take all necessary actions to comply with all County, State and Federal orders as applicable. City Staff believes that the response to COVID-19 has and will continue to impose extraordinary requirements on and expenses to the City which will be

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION 2022-47 CONTINUING THE PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF

LOCAL EMERGENCY RELATING TO IMPACTS FROM CROSS-BORDER POLLUTION IN THE TIJUANA RIVER. (0150-40 & 0210-26)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Environmental & Natural Resources
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

This Resolution continues the City’s proclamation for a state of local emergency related to the cross-border pollution impacts from the Tijuana River including the persistent impacts of treated and untreated wastewater. The Imperial Beach shoreline from the south end of Seacoast Drive to the border was closed for 246 days in 2021, 295 days in 2020, 245 days in 2019, 101 days in 2018, 168 days in 2017, 162 days in 2016, and 211 days in 2015 due to contaminated flows in the Tijuana River. Cross border flows in the Tijuana River continue to persist and impact the Tijuana River valley, Estuary, and beach water quality.

It is necessary to have a local state of emergency in order for the City to respond to unpredictable conditions in the Tijuana River that impact the health, safety, and welfare of Imperial Beach residents, visitors, and environment. Proclamations that set in place a state of local emergency will expire in 60 days unless the City passes a continuing resolution to continue the local state of emergency.

RECOMMENDATION:

OPTIONS:
 Adopt Resolution and recommendation from staff;
 Reject Resolution; or
 Request additional information and an additional report 
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

Page 24 of 388 ends

P a g e | 2
The health and safety risks from cross border pollution levels in the Tijuana River and lack of action to implement known solutions by Federal and State agencies provides sufficient evidence to declare a state of local emergency within the City.

The City of Imperial Beach is severely impacted by the persistent flow of pollutants in the Tijuana River that impacts the health, safety, and welfare of citizens and wildlife. Pollution in the River is most acute following rain events or illegal discharge events when the watershed transforms into a severely impacted, polluted, and hazardous waterbody with bacterial concentrations so elevated it is often difficult to quantify effectively. The associated impact on the surrounding ecosystem is severe with poor water quality lasting several days to months after each discharge event. The recreational impact on the Imperial Beach shoreline is equally severe with beach closures impacting the beneficial ocean uses for residents and visitors in the City.

Both the City of Imperial Beach and City of San Diego maintain an ongoing state of emergency resolution for the Tijuana River. This resolution allows our agencies the flexibility to respond to unpredictable conditions in the Tijuana River to protect the health, safety, and welfare of residents, visitors, and the environment. The City Council has the authority to issue a local state of emergency that will expire in 60 days or continue in effect until the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting unless renewed by a continuing resolution.

Filing Period is from the 113th day to the 88th day before the election (July 18, 2022 to August 12, 2022) during normal office hours, as posted.

The following resolutions are being presented for City Council’s consideration:

Resolution No. 2022-40 calls and gives notice of the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election for the purpose of electing a Mayor, one (1) member of the City Council from District 1 and one (1) member of the City Council from District 3 for the City of Imperial Beach. If two or more persons in the same district receive an equal and the highest number of votes, the tie shall be resolved by lot, except as noted below.

Note: Resolution of a tie vote may be decided either by lot or by conducting a Special Runoff Election involving only those candidates in the same district who receive an equal number of votes and the highest number of votes for an office. If City Council prefers a Special Election to be conducted, then the appropriate resolution would be brought back at the next meeting.

Resolution No. 2022-41 requests the Board of Supervisors to conduct and consolidate the General Municipal Election with the Statewide General Election pursuant to Elections Code §10403 and authorizes the Registrar of Voters to provide services.

Resolution No. 2022-42 pertains to regulations for Candidates Statements. The candidate statement is a voluntary statement for candidates seeking specific elective office and may include the name, age and occupation of the candidate and a 200-word description of the candidate’s own personal background and qualifications. The Registrar of Voters’ estimated cost for a 200- word statement is $1,450.00 for Mayor, $1,350.00 for District 1, and $1,350 for District 3. These estimates are based on the number of pages printed, translation costs, and the number of registered voters. The ROV expects the number of registered voters to increase for the November 2022 Election. All candidate statements will be translated into the federal mandated languages (Spanish, Chinese, Filipino and Vietnamese). Additionally, the vendors informed the ROV about supply chain issues that are impacting the cost of paper, but those costs are unknown at this time and may have an effect on costs. If, in the actual election there are more candidates/candidate statements per race, the cost per candidate statement may be less. Conversely, if there are less candidates for any given race, the cost may increase. This resolution reflects a 200-word statement at a pro rata share of $1,450.00 for Mayor, $1,350.00 for District 1, and $1,350 for District 3.

ITEM TITLE: ORDINANCE NO. 2022-1213 AMENDING CHAPTER 8.36 “REFUSE, SOLID WASTE, AND RECYCLABLE COLLECTION” OF THE IMPERIAL BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADDING CHAPTER 8.37 EDIBLE FOOD RECOVERY TO THE IMPERIAL BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE. (0270-30 & 0270-40)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Environmental & Natural Resources
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Adoption of Ordinance No. 2022-1213 would amend the Imperial Beach Municipal Code (IBMC) to be fully compliant with Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) passed to address Short-Lived Climate Pollutants. Specifically, the Ordinance adds a new Chapter 8.37 to the Municipal Code for Edible Food Recovery and adds clarifying language to Chapter 8.36 regarding waivers for organics recycling for certain customers. These amendments are necessary for the City to satisfy the organic food recycling and food recovery regulations of CalRecycle.

RECOMMENDATION:

Conduct the second reading, waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2022-1213.

OPTIONS:
 Conduct the second reading, waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2022-1213 and establish a date for second reading and final adoption  Direct staff to provide additional information
 Deny the second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 2022-1213 creating an inconsistency with State law
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), Short-lived Climate Pollutants established regulations for organic waste reductions and methane emissions reduction targets in a statewide effort to reduce emissions from short-lived climate pollutants in various sectors of California’s economy. Methane from decomposing organic waste in landfills is a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and SB 1383 requires the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to develop regulations to reduce the disposal of organic waste 50% below 2014 levels by 2020, and below 75% of 2014 levels by 2025. Additionally, CalRecycle must implement

Page 45 of 388 ends

P a g e | 2
requirements to recover 20% of edible food for human consumption currently deposited in landfills by 2025. Cities and waste haulers are required to have the following in place:
 Organics collection services to all residents and businesses  Edible food recovery programs
 Education and outreach to the community
 Recyclable and recovered organic products
 Access to recycling and edible food recovery capacity  Compliance monitoring and conduct enforcement
The City preciously amended the IBMC, Chapter 8.36 through Ordinance 2020-1193 to require mandatory participation in organic waste recycling program. The City and EDCO began organic waste recycling on April 1, 2021 and continue to roll out the new recycling programs for all applicable residential and commercial customers. The City and EDCO have engaged in education and outreach efforts and provided technical assistance for organic waste and edible food generators. Most recently, through a joint letter from the City and EDCO, commercial account holders in Imperial Beach were notified of the State regulations on mandatory organics recycling and edible food recovery with instructions for enrollment and obtaining collection implementation assistance. In addition, residential customers received educational mailers informing them of the organic waste recycling program and SB 1383 requirements.

Proposed Amendments to IBMC, Chapter 8.36
Through the implementation of the new organic recycling program, it has become clear that a strategic update is needed for Chapter 8.36 to clearly define new terms and allow for a formal waiver process for certain customers to be exempt from the new organic recycling program. The proposed modifications to Chapter 8.36 are described below:
 Update definitions and terminology within Chapter 8.36 to accurately reflect the current use of defined terms.
 Update the language used throughout the Chapter to comply with SB 1383 regulations, such as reference to organics waste recycling program requirements.  Add a subsection for self-haulers to allow them to recycle organic waste using a certified facility.
 SB 1383 regulations allows jurisdictions to establish an organics waiver program for commercial customers (including multi-family dwellings) with “de minimis” volume. If a commercial customer provides documentation that it generates below a specified amount of organic waste material, the City may be able grant a waiver.

The proposed updates to Chapter 8.36 are provided in Exhibit A. The underlined text in the code reflects the addition of new language.

Proposed new IBMC, Chapter 8.37 Edible Food Recovery Program SB 1383 also requires local agencies to implement a mandatory food recovery program to donate unused food items where feasible. The proposed Chapter 8.37, Edible Food Recovery Program, will create a new program that requires participation and reporting of food donations from certain

Page 46 of 388 ends

P a g e | 3
businesses. Specified commercial edible food generators are required to recover the maximum amount of edible food and establish an agreement with an edible food recovery organization for donations. The City is also required to track and report food donation activities to Calrecycle and maintain records as required by SB 1383. The City will be required to submit annual progress reports to the state.

The new edible food recovery program for Chapter 8.37 is attached as Exhibit B. This represents a new chapter and new language for IBMC.

The first reading and introduction of Ordinance No. 2022-1213 was conducted on June 1, 2022.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 2022-50 OF THE CITY OF IMPERIAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA

ADJUSTING THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION CONGESTION IMPROVEMENT BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022. (0680-80)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Public Works
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The TransNet Extension Ordinance Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Plan (RTCIP) fee is a transportation mitigation fee collected by local jurisdictions to fund improvements to the regional arterial roadway system. The RTCIP fee allows the City to recover costs that would otherwise be absorbed by the General Fund or diverted from other funds that could be used for other eligible projects. This fee is designated for roadway capital improvements on or adjacent to State Route 75.

On May 19, 2021, the 2022-2023 Biennial Budget was approved by Resolution 2021-30. Included in the budget was $26,000 in RTCIP funds for use on the SR75 Signalized Intersection Project (Project) in FY 2022. The Palm Avenue Commercial Corridor Master Plan requires updated 20% draft plans to improve the likelihood of its selection for future grant funding. Staff intends to engage one of the City’s contracted civil engineering firms to produce 20% draft plans, but additional engineering design funding for the Project is necessary.

Fortunately, during the FY 20-21 TransNet audit, it was determined that the City had additional uncommitted RTCIP funds available. Resolution 2022-50 will add $22,000 in RTCIP funds to the Project to allow completion of 20% draft plans for the Palm Avenue Commercial Corridor Master Plan.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2022-50 approving the $22,000 increase in the RTCIP budget for Fiscal Year 2022 in the SR75 Signalized Intersection Project (S22103).

OPTIONS:
 Adopt resolution 2022-50 increasing the RTCIP project budget for FY22.  Request additional information and an additional report BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS: In accordance with the TransNet Extension Ordinance and Expenditure Plan 04-01, the Imperial Beach City Council adopted ordinance 2008-1067 to

Page 74 of 388 ends

P a g e | 2
establish a transportation mitigation program to ease the regional transportation impacts of new development on the arterial roadway system.

During a recent TransNet audit, it was determined that the City had uncommitted funds from the RTCIP program available for use. The current balance available in this fund is approximately $250,000.

The approved FY22 budget includes $26,000 for use on the SR75 Signalized Intersection Project.

Staff has engaged one of the City’s contracted civil engineering firms to produce revised 20% draft plans for the Palm Avenue Commercial Corridor Master Plan. Updated draft plans are necessary to improve the likelihood of acquisition of future grant funding for construction.

Approval of Resolution 2022-50 will add $22,000 in RTCIP funds to the SR75 Signalized Intersection Project to allow completion of 20% draft engineering plans for the Palm Avenue Commercial Corridor Master Plan.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) on the State CEQA Guidelines.

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 2022-51 ADDING THE DONAX AVENUE TRAFFIC CALMING

PROJECT TO THE IMPERIAL BEACH CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, APPROPRIATING $75,000 TO THE PROJECT BUDGET, AND CEQA EXEMPTION PER CEQA GUIDELINES SECTION 15301. (0750-20)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Public Works
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Resolution No. 2022-51 adds the Donax Avenue Traffic Calming Project to the Imperial Beach Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Additionally, the resolution authorizes an appropriation of $75,000 to the project budget from the Strategic Reserve, General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION:

OPTIONS:
 Adopt Resolution and recommendation from staff; or
 Adopt a modified Resolution; or
 Request additional information and an additional report BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

In 2018 the City Council approved the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program to provide the policies and procedures necessary for the installation of various traffic control devices on neighborhood streets, including curb markings, speed humps, and stop signs. In 2020, City staff was contacted by organized neighborhood groups on Donax Avenue between 7th Street and 9th Street and on Elm Avenue between 7th Street and 9th Street regarding vehicular speed safety concerns on their respective stretches of roadway. In accordance with the procedures laid out in the Neighborhood Traffic Management Program, Public Works positioned the City's radar trailers on the roadways to collect vehicle traffic volumes and speed data. Upon review of the data, staff confirmed that both roadways were excellent candidates for the implementation of temporary traffic calming measures. The City’s traffic engineer was engaged to provide drawings and by December of 2020, the original series of temporary rubber speed humps in combination with

Page 77 of 388 ends

P a g e | 2
neighborhood traffic circles (at the 8th Street intersections with Donax Avenue and Elm Avenue) were installed.

In the summer of 2021, this original configuration of traffic calming elements was altered at the request of individual property owners regarding the location of specific speed humps (one hump was removed from Donax Avenue and one additional hump was installed on Elm Avenue). The Elm Avenue configuration has remained the same since the summer of 2021 and on January 16, 2022, the City Council approved the creation and funding of a capital improvement project to implement permanent improvements on that roadway. However, the Donax Avenue configuration underwent additional changes in December of 2021 (removal of the neighborhood traffic circle at 8 th Street), so additional traffic data needed to be collected and analyzed before a final determination on the fate of the temporary traffic calming improvements on Donax Avenue could be presented to Council. The additional data collection for has been completed so a decision on whether the temporary traffic calming elements should be removed, altered for further study, or converted to permanent improvements can be considered at this time.

Prior to the installation of any traffic calming measures, the Public Works Department collected traffic speed and volume data on eastbound Donax Avenue at 8th Street. This location was ranked within the top 5 as far as Imperial Beach roadways experiencing unusually high traffic speeds.

The latest data reveals that the current speeds with the latest roadway configuration (2 speed humps, no traffic circle at 8th Street) have dropped 13.5% in comparison to the original roadway configuration (no speed humps or traffic circle). The most recently recorded 85th percentile speed (25.1 MPH) compares favorably to the originally recorded 29.02 MPH and is in line with the posted speed limit. It should be noted that the traffic calming configuration in place over the summer of 2021 (2 speed humps, traffic circle at 8th Street) did result in more significant vehicular speed reduction (85th percentile speed of 20.72 MPH, 28.9% reduction) in comparison to the original roadway configuration. The traffic circle was removed in December of 2021 after negative feedback was received during an onsite meeting with area residents.

It is Staff’s opinion that the previous temporary traffic calming installations (two speed humps, traffic circle at 8th Street) on Donax Avenue successfully achieved the desired outcome of the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program, mainly the reduction of the 85th percentile speed on Donax Avenue between 7th Street and 9th Street. While the previous traffic calming configuration sufficiently achieved the goals of the program, implementation of the current configuration that does not include the traffic circle at 8th Street can certainly also be considered and would be supported by Staff as well. It should be noted that several area residents have consistently voiced opposition to the inclusion of the traffic circle at Donax Avenue and 8th Street.

On June 1, 2022, the City Council discussed this item at the Regular Meeting of the City Council. After receiving several public comments and deliberation on the matter, the City Council directed staff to include the traffic circle at Donax Avenue and 8th Street and adjust the requested funding
allocation accordingly.

Adoption of the proposed Resolution would result in the funding of an improvement project that would remove the existing the rubberized speed humps and replace them with permanent
asphalt speed humps. The rubberized neighborhood traffic circle at Donax Avenue and 8
th Street would be replaced with a
concrete rolled curb and an inlaid tile decorative feature similar to the example shown to the right.

ITEM TITLE: 2022 SPECIAL EVENTS APPROVAL; SUN & SEA FESTIVAL, KIDS N’ KASTLES AND HESSFEST. (1040-10)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Parks & Recreation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

In accordance with the recently adopted Special Events policies, all applications for events in the community must be approved by the City Council. In December of 2021, the City Council granted conditional approval of several special events to allow staff and the applicants an opportunity to properly schedule the event locations and make other necessary preparations. However, a condition of approval was for the applicants to submit a final application to the City Council for final approval. Three applications are included in this report for consideration by the City Council.

Specifically, City Council review of these applications is necessary because there are requests for in-kind and monetary support for the events.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends the City Council review the applications and provide direction to staff regarding the event applications and requests for City in-kind and financial support.

OPTIONS:
 Approval of the events as proposed with in-kind and financial support.  Modification of the proposed events.
 Denial of the proposed events.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The goal of Imperial Beach Parks & Recreation is to attract events to the community for both residents and visitors to enjoy, that align with the City’s mission to enhance and maintain Imperial Beach as “Classic Southern California;” a beach-oriented community with a safe, small town, family atmosphere, rich in natural and cultural resources. In December of 2021, the City Council granted conditional approval to the following events. The applicants have since provided more detailed information, including requests for in-kind and direct financial assistance from the City.

Staff has worked with the applicants to obtain as much detail as possible about each event, but there could be minor adjustments to each event based on weather and other factors. However, if any material changes are proposed, staff will present the changes to the City Council for consideration.

July 16th- Sun & Sea Festival
The Sun & Sea Festival Committee is requesting to host their annual Sun & Sea Festival. The primary activities associated with the event include:
 The construction of a large monument sandcastle similar to the castle erected in 2021.

However, the committee is proposing the building of additional smaller sandcastles to complement the larger castle near the location of the large castle. Construction of the larger sandcastle will begin on July 11th and continue throughout the week for completion by July 16th. The smaller castles will be added during the event on the 16th of July.  The applicant is requesting music to accompany the sandcastles on July 16th, with 1 or perhaps 2 bands (maximum) playing on the stage at Portwood Pier Plaza. However, at the time this report was written (last minute, Thursday, June 9) the bands had not been identified and staff can provide no information about the type of band, the need for security, the anticipated size of the crowd or other details. For these reasons, staff cannot provide a recommendation of approval or denial of the bands at the event.  To accommodate the bands, the applicant has requested the green loading zone on the east side of Pier Plaza be reserved for band parking on July 16th, but there will are no other road closures and no vendors proposed for the event.  The applicant has requested the ability to access the beach with a loader to minimize staff support needed to complete the building process as done in 2021. Staff has completed a walk-through with the applicant to ensure safety.

The applicant has requested the following fee waivers and in-kind staff support to assist in unloading the sand delivery and utility setup for the building process, as well as sandcastle teardown following the event to ensure safety for patrons. In addition to fee waivers and staff support, the applicant is requesting financial support for the fencing, hiring a security guard and lighting to extend the sandcastles for an additional week. In summary the following represents the proposed waivers, in-kind and financial support for the event:

Requested Waivers Cost
Application Fee $150 nonprofit rate
Sound Fee $36
Temporary Encroachment Permit $25
Safety Inspection $200
Total Waiver Request $411
Requested Financial Support Cost
Fencing, Security Guard, Lighting $4,917.54
Total Financial Support $4,917.54
Requested In-Kind Cost
Tidelands Staff Support Requested $963 (9 Hours x $107) Total In-Kind Request $963
Total Waivers, Financial Support, In-Kind Contributions = $6,291.54

July 16th – Kids N’ Kastles
The Kids N' Kastles event in Dunes Park is a tradition held during the Sun & Sea Festival and free to all kids 12 years and under participating in the competition. The Optimist Club presents awards to the winning teams, and gift certificates are presented to all participants.

As per Resolution 2018-7890, requiring the use of Dunes Park to come before the City Council for approval, the applicant is requesting the use of Dunes Park.

The applicant is requesting a fee waiver of $150 for the application fee.

Total Waivers = $150 nonprofit rate
August 13th- HessFest
HessFest is the second year of what is anticipated to be an annual music festival held at Pier Plaza. The applicant is requesting significant revisions to their initial event proposal, but it will in most material ways, be similar to the event held last year. The event date will be moved to August 13, 2022 in Pier Plaza. The event footprint will be extended from their original proposal to include part of the sidewalk. During a site walk, staff directed the applicant to not block beach access and to also not block ADA ramps with temporary fencing. The applicant indicated on the original application that any waivers, in-kind or financial assistance would be determined. The applicant did not submit any request.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
FISCAL YEAR: 2021-22
BUDGETED: No
BUDGET AMENDMENT: No budget amendment needed. All events are full cost recovery unless otherwise indicated below in the Fiscal Analysis Section.

As we have done in the past, including last year at Pier Plaza, we plan on using wrist bands and/or hand stamps on those age 21 and up. 100% ID check will be used and secuirty and MHB staff and volunteers will be vigilant in enforcing no drinking or possesion of alcohol, or outside alcohol, by attendees. Yes HessFest is a family friendly music festival featuring amazing professional national recording artists and even local musicians whose sound must be broadcast across the event site (as we did last year). We would like this year's HessFest to a be better version of last year's HessFest which ran smoothly and was awesome. But, we learned a lot from last year's inaugural event and would be implementing changes to make this year's run even better.

ITEM TITLE: DECLARE CERTAIN LAND CONSISTING OF RIGHT-OF-WAY & EASEMENTS

AT NW CORNER OF PALM AVE & SILVER STRAND BLVD AS EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND PURSUANT TO GOVT CODE SEC 54421 CONTINGENT ON CITY COUNCIL’S FUTURE APPROVAL OF A DEV PROJ & SALE OF SUCH PROPERTY. (0480-80) ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Community Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
2K Commercial Palm IB, LLC, the owner of 236 Palm Avenue (“Owner”), has requested that the City vacate and sell a portion of the City’s right-of-way and related easements at the northwest corner of the intersection of Palm Avenue and Silver Strand Boulevard (collectively referred to as “City ROW”) which is contiguous to the Owner’s land. Silver Strand Boulevard was realigned many years ago, and the City ROW is no longer used for street or sidewalk purposes. Moreover, based on traffic patterns in this area and the General Plan’s circulation element, the City anticipates that it will not have a need for the City ROW for street or sidewalk purposes. Pursuant to the Surplus Lands Act found in Government Code section 54220 et. seq., the City Council can declare certain property as exempt surplus property if it meets the definitions in the law such that the City could dispose of the property without being subject to the requirements of the Surplus Lands Act. The City ROW discussed in this report meets the definition of exempt surplus property, and the attached resolution allows the City Council to make the necessary declaration.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve Resolution 2022-52.

OPTIONS:
 Approve Resolution 2022-52 or
 Provide further direction to Staff.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

Background on how City ROW became City property:

As adopted by the City Council on Map No. 1902, the owner and developer of the real property commonly referred to as the Silver Strand Beach Gardens obtained approval to subdivide certain properties. Through this subdivision approval, the owner and developer dedicated the following streets for public use: Ninth Street, Tenth Street, Eleventh Street, Twelfth Street, Thirteenth Street, Coronado Avenue, Palm Avenue, Silver Strand Boulevard, A Street, B Street, Ocean Drive and certain alleys as depicted on Map No. 1902. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved the Map and the dedications on March 22, 1926. These streets became the City’s responsibility upon incorporation.

Page 108 of 388 ends

P a g e | 2
In 1978 and as a result of a lawsuit, the City received an additional section of right-of-way and related easements at the northwest corner of the Palm Avenue and Silver Strand Boulevard intersection. One easement is for street, highway and sidewalk purposes and the other is for sidewalk, parkway and landscaping. Both easements were granted by a stipulated judgment.

See Attachment 4. The easements lie across the southerly border of Lots 23 and 24 on Map No. 1902, which lots are commonly known as 236 Palm Avenue.

In the intervening years after 1978, Silver Strand Boulevard was realigned and narrowed. The easements are not currently being used for the public purposes for which they were dedicated.

In fact, the unused portion of the right-of-way and easements located along the northwest corner of the intersection of Palm Avenue and Silver Strand Boulevard adjacent to Lot 24 were paved over and have been used as a parking lot for decades.

One of the easements that the City obtained in the 1978 judgment stated it was for sidewalk, parkway and landscaping purposes on private property. Upon surveying the location identified in the 1978 judgment, however, the easement appears to be located entirely within the City’s rightof-way and not on private property. Regardless, the City does not require the sidewalk, parkway and landscaping easement granted by the 1978 judgment.

Current Consideration:

As discussed above, the City no longer needs the City ROW for City purposes. The subject City ROW is approximately 3,262 square feet in area, and the adjacent landowner would like to purchase the land. Pursuant to the Surplus Lands Act, the City may declare the property as exempt surplus land and dispose of it pursuant to these two exemptions: California Government Code sections 54221(f)(1)(B) & (E) because the property is less than 5,000 square feet and is proposed to be sold to the owner of contiguous land and because it is also land that is a former street, right of way, or easement, and is proposed to be conveyed to an owner of an adjacent property. Because the City ROW meets the definitions of exempt surplus land, other provisions of the Surplus Lands Act are not applicable pursuant to Government Code Section 54222.3. By adopting Resolution No. 2022-52, the City Council will be making the necessary exempt surplus land declaration. It should be noted that the resolution specifies that the designation is contingent upon the development entitlements being completed and the purchase and sale transaction being successfully completed. If these two contingencies do not occur then the declaration in Resolution No. 2022-52 will have no force and effect.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Not applicable.

2. The 236 Palm Avenue Right-of-Way has a legal description as more specifically described in Exhibit A hereto and as depicted in the attached survey map in Exhibit B hereto.

3. The Easements are described in the Stipulation For Judgment and Order filed in the San Diego Superior Court on April 24, 1978 in case number 382264 (¶¶ 8-9) and filed on April 25, 1978 as Doc.

4. Based on the above recitals, the City Council finds and declares that: (a) the 236 Palm Avenue Right-of-Way and Easements as described in Exhibits A, B and C and also described above are surplus property and are not necessary for the City’s use; (b) the property is exempt surplus property pursuant to California Government Code sections 54221(f)(1)(B) & (E) because the property is less than 5,000 square feet and is proposed to be sold to the owner of contiguous land and it is also land that is a former street, right of way, or easement, and is proposed to be conveyed to an owner of an adjacent property; and (c) other provisions of the Surplus Lands Act are not applicable pursuant to

ITEM TITLE: INTRODUCTION & FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE 2022-1215, AMENDING CHAPTER 10.28.020 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO SPECIAL SPEED ZONE DESIGNATED. (0750-95)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Public Works
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Imperial Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.28.020 Special Speed Zones Designated, establishes posted speed limits on major streets in Imperial Beach. The speed limits are based on street conditions and prevailing traffic speeds using standard survey procedures and an “Engineering and Traffic Survey” (Survey). On April 11, 2022, Staff gave the City’s traffic engineering consultant, STC Traffic, direction to initiate a Survey for the City of Imperial Beach. STC Traffic completed the Survey and delivered it to the City on June 2, 2022.

RECOMMENDATION:

1. Receive this report.

2. Mayor call for introduction of Ordinance No. 2022-1215

3. City Clerk read title of the ordinance

4. Motion to waive further reading of Ordinance No. 2022-1215 and set the matter for adoption at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

OPTIONS:
 Introduce Ordinance No. 2022-1215 and set adoption of the Ordinance for August 3, 2022.  Approve Staff recommendation with alternative amendments/modifications.  Request additional information and an additional report.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

Imperial Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.28.020, Special Speed Zones Designated, establishes posted speed limits on major streets in Imperial Beach. The speed limits are determined in accordance with the legal requirements of the California Vehicle Code (CVC), Sections 22348 through 22413, and speed zoning guidelines contained in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD – California Supplement). The speed limits are based on street conditions and prevailing traffic speeds using standard survey procedures and an “Engineering and Traffic Survey” (Survey).

Page 118 of 388 ends

P a g e | 2
Speed enforcement by radar, laser or other electronic devices can only be conducted where speed limits have been established by a valid Survey. The streets must be resurveyed and validated every five (5) years to comply with CVC Section 40802, Speed Traps. State law allows cities to extend the survey period up to seven (7) or fourteen (14) years depending on specific criteria. Imperial Beach’s Survey will be in effect for seven (7) years because Imperial Beach Sheriff Department officers met all the specific survey criteria as defined in CVC Section 40802.

These criteria include: completion of radar or laser operator course, used radar, laser, or other electronic device that meets the minimum standards of the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration, and the radar, laser, or other electronic device being used has been properly calibrated by an independent certified calibration facility. Without a valid Survey, speed limits can only be enforced by the “clocking” method which requires tracking a vehicle for a quarter mile or more. The “clocking” method is not appropriate for Imperial Beach city streets since it requires extensive law enforcement resources. It has been determined that electronic enforcement in conjunction with a valid Survey is the most appropriate procedure to establish speed enforcement parameters for the City of Imperial Beach.

Legal Requirements - Speed limits are defined in the CVC 22349-22352. In California the maximum speed for any vehicle is 65 or 55 MPH depending on road conditions and the vehicle.

All other speed limits are defined as “prima facie” or “on the face of it”. Prima facia speed limits are either established by law in the CVC (such as 15 MPH in alleys or 25 MPH in residential areas, business districts, school areas and senior areas), or by city ordinance for speed limits between 25 and 65 MPH. If electronic enforcement is used, a valid Survey must be established.

Local streets and roads, as defined in CVC Section 40802(b) as small residential streets, are exempt from the survey requirement, since they automatically have a 25 MPH speed limit by law.

The Survey, as defined in the CVC, is an analysis of highway and traffic conditions on a street segment in accordance with the methods and procedures outlined in the MUTCD California Supplement. It considers prevailing speeds, accident records, and roadway conditions not readily apparent to the driver. The 85th percentile speed of existing traffic is often used to define the appropriate speed limit. The 85th percentile speed is the speed that 85% of the drivers travel at or below. The 85th percentile speed is specified in the CVC as the one travel characteristic that most nearly supports a safe and reasonable speed limit. When unusual conditions are present, the speed limit may be reduced by a 5 MPH increment from the 85th percentile surveyed speed and still be enforceable by radar or laser.

On April 11, 2022, Staff directed the City’s traffic engineering consultant, STC Traffic, to initiate a Survey in the City of Imperial Beach. STC Traffic has completed the final 2022 Speed Survey and delivered it to the City on June 2, 2022. Therefore, the next Citywide Engineering and Traffic Survey will occur seven (7) years from the initiation of this Survey, in 2029. The 2022 Speed Survey is provided as Attachment No. 2.

A total of 21 segments were surveyed. In accordance with CVC Section 627, additional facts can be considered to establish the prima facia speed limit: an analysis of the 3-year accident history; inspection of roadway geometry and street characteristics; a review of existing on-street parking, sidewalk facilities, land use and driveways; and an examination of pedestrian and bicycle activity.

From the results of the survey, it is recommended to amend the Imperial Beach Municipal Code (IBMC) Chapter 10 Article 28, Section 028, Special Speed Zones Designated, to change the established speed limits on ten (10) street sections.

A table listing all street sections and their associated recommended speed limits is provided as Attachment 3. A citywide map depicting the recommended speed limits with recommended changes highlighted is shown in Attachment 4.

The ten (10) segments with speed limit changes are:
 9
th Street (SR-75 to Imperial Beach Boulevard – reduced from 35 mph to 30 mph  13th Street (Cypress Avenue to SR-75) – reduced from 30 mph to 25 mph  13th Street (SR-75 to Imperial Beach Boulevard) – reduced from 35 mph to 30 mph  Imperial Beach Boulevard (Seacoast Drive to 4
th Street) – reduced from 35 mph to 30
mph
 Imperial Beach Boulevard (4
th Street to 13th Street) – reduced from 35 mph to 30 mph  Palm Avenue (3rd to Delaware Avenue) – reduced from 35 mph to 30 mph  SR-75 (northern City limit to 9th Street southbound/eastbound) – reduced from 45 mph to 40 mph
 SR-75 (9th Street to northern City limit northbound/westbound) – reduced from 45 mph to 40 mph
 Rainbow Drive (SR-75 to Palm Avenue) – reduced from 30 mph to 25 mph  Seacoast Drive (Palm Avenue to Imperial Beach Boulevard) – reduced from 25 mph to 20 mph
The proposed revised speed limits are justifiable according to the latest provisions in the CVC and Caltrans recommendations. They are reasonable and realistic based on actual engineering surveys. Speed limits established on the basis of the 85th percentile reflect the consensus of motorists that drive at a reasonable and prudent speed and enable the Sheriff Department to enforce the posted limits.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the ordinance amending Chapter 10, Article 28, Section 028, of the IBMC relating to Special Speed Zones Designated.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The fiscal impact associated with this recommendation is minimal. New speed limit signs must be installed, which can be funded from Public Works annual maintenance and operation budget.

Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits 4
City of Imperial Beach
1 INTRODUCTION
In accordance with procedures established by the State of California, this Engineering and Traffic Survey has been developed for the City of Imperial Beach as the basis for the establishment and enforcement of speed limits for selected streets within the City. The work provided herein was authorized by the City and was performed by the engineering consulting firm STC Traffic, Inc.

The official speed survey for the City of Imperial Beach was conducted in 2014. This document is an update and includes the locations identified in 2014. There have been changes to some of the street’s characteristics since the 2014 study and some of the study segments have been updated to reflect these changes.

The requirement to perform an Engineering and Traffic Survey for speed limits is based on the California Vehicle Code (CVC). The goal of the Engineering and Traffic Survey is to identify the roadways to determine if conditions have changed where current speed limits should be modified.

1.1 Regulations and Guidelines
CVC Section 40802 states that at least once every five (5), seven (7) or fourteen (14) years, states and local agencies should re-evaluate non-statuary speed limits on segments of their roadways. Assembly Bill No. 43 (AB43) was approved by the Governor of California on October 8, 2021 and became effective on January 1, 2022. AB43 is an act to amend and add sections to the CVC. The bill authorizes:
› Local authorities to consider the safety of vulnerable pedestrian groups. › Prima facie speed limit of 25 MPH to be established on state highways located in any business or residence district.
› A lowered speed limit on a section of highway contiguous to a business activity district. › Caltrans and local authority to declare speed limit of 20 or 15 MPH. › The period that a speed limit is justified by a traffic and engineering survey has changed from 10 years to 14 years.

Recent changes to the CVC, which are summarized in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) 2014 Edition, Revision 6 (effective March 30, 2021), changed the policy and procedure for setting speed limits in California. Engineering and Traffic Surveys must be performed with the use of radar or other approved electronic devices if the use of radar is to be employed to enforce speed limits. Per the CVC Section 40802, a "speed trap" is either of the following:
1) A particular section of a highway measured as to distance and with boundaries marked, designated, or otherwise determined in order that the speed of a vehicle may be calculated by securing the time it takes the vehicle to travel the known distance. 2) A particular section of a highway with a prima facie speed limit that is provided by this code or by local ordinance under paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 22352, or established under Section 22354, 22357, 22358, or 22358.3, if that prima facie speed limit is not justified by an engineering and traffic survey conducted within five years prior to the date of the alleged violation, and enforcement of the speed limit involves the use of radar or any other electronic device that measures the speed of moving objects. This paragraph does not apply to a local street, road, school zone, senior zone, or business activity district.

Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits 5
City of Imperial Beach
The definition of an Engineering and Traffic Survey is contained in CVC Section 627 and is as follows:

Engineering and Traffic Survey, as used in this code, means a survey of highway and traffic conditions in accordance with methods determined by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) for use by State and local authorities. An Engineering and Traffic Survey shall include, among other requirements deemed necessary by the department, consideration of the following:
1) Prevailing speeds as determined by traffic engineering measurements. 2) Accident Records.
3) Highway, traffic and roadside conditions not readily apparent to the driver. 4) Residential Density.
5) Safety of bicyclists and pedestrians, with increased consideration for vulnerable pedestrian groups including children, seniors, persons with disabilities, users of personal assistive mobility devices, and the unhoused.

Per CVC Section 627 (c)(1) Residential Density is defined as, where any of the following conditions exist on the particular portion of highway and the property contiguous thereto, other than a business district:

A. Upon one side of the highway, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 13 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures.

B. Upon both sides of the highway, collectively, within a distance of a quarter of a mile, the contiguous property fronting thereon is occupied by 16 or more separate dwelling houses or business structures.

C. The portion of highway is longer than one-quarter of a mile but has the ratio of separate dwelling houses or business structures to the length of the highway described in either subparagraph (A) or (B).

1.2 Methods for Estimating Speed Limits
This section provides details on the methods available for estimating speed limits and includes relevant references to the CVC. The CVC has set certain regulations regarding the posting and enforcement of speed zones. These regulations generally reflect the viewpoint that speed zoning should be based on traffic conditions and natural driver behavior and not because of an arbitrary response to a traffic event or occurrence. Therefore, it is important to have a general understanding of the "Basic Speed Law,” and "Prima Facie Speed Limits".

City of Imperial Beach

1.2.1 Basic Speed Law (CVC 22350)
All fifty states base their speed regulations on the Basic Speed Law. In California, CVC 22350 defines the basic speed law as:
“No Person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property." This law recognizes that driving conditions vary widely from time-to-time and place-to-place and, therefore, no set of fixed driving rules will adequately serve all conditions. The motorist will constantly adjust his driving behavior to fit the conditions he encounters. He must learn to do this with minimal assistance from the police. The Basic Speed Law is founded on the belief that a majority of motorists are able to modify their driving behavior properly, as long as they are aware of the conditions around them

1.2.2 Prima Facie Speed Limits (CVC 22352)
All other speed limits are prima facie limits which, "on the face of it", are reasonable and prudent under normal conditions. A driver may exceed any prima facie limit if it is safe to do so under prevailing conditions. However, when a police officer cites a driver for exceeding a prima facie speed limit, it is up to the driver to prove, if he can, that he was driving in a reasonable and prudent manner under the existing conditions and did not constitute a violation of the basic speed law. The opportunity given to the driver to exceed a prima facie speed limit when it is safe to do so recognizes the fact that any posted speed limit cannot adequately reflect the many different conditions of traffic, weather, visibility, etc., that may be found on the same highway at different times.

Certain prima facie limits are automatically established by law (CVC 22352), including a 15 mph speed limit in alleys, blind intersections, blind railroad crossing, and the 25 mph limit in business and residence districts. There is also a part time 25 mph limit in school zones when children are present in route to or from school, and when passing a senior center or other facility primarily used by senior citizens.

1.2.3 Establishment of Speed Zones
The reason that speed limit zones and their required postings are established is to guard reasonable drivers from the unreasonable behavior of reckless, unreliable, or otherwise dangerous drivers. As with other similar laws, the limits identified are based on the consensus of the majority of those who drive the highway as to what speed is reasonable and safe. It is this type of information that is reflected in the analysis section of this report. Namely, posted speed limits are a reflection of that speed which most people deem to be safe as opposed to a minority of drivers who do not drive in a reasonable manner.

Speed zones are also established to advise drivers of road conditions or hazards that may not be readily apparent to a reasonable driver. For that reason, a field review of related road/traffic variables is conducted which considers the analytical data and accident history of a particular roadway segment to determine a safe and reasonable speed limit.

2 SPEED SURVEY LOCATIONS
Speed evaluation data was collected on 21 different roadway segments along 10 different roadways in the City of Imperial Beach. These roadways and their corresponding segments are shown on a map provided in Figure 2-1, and are listed in Table 2-1. Existing speed limit postings are shown in Figure 2-2.

As described in the CA MUTCD Section 2B.13, the individual locations on which radar data collection procedures were used involved considerations for the following:
a. Minimize the effect of a stop sign or traffic signal locations. b. Measure the unimpeded speed of free-flowing vehicles. c. Speed measurements should be taken during off-peak hours between peak traffic periods on weekdays.
d. The weather should be fair (dry pavement) with no unusual conditions prevailing.

City of Imperial Beach
3 METHODOLOGY FOR ESTABLISHING SPEED LIMITS
The CA MUTCD specifies a "short method of determining speed limits on City and County Through Highways, Arterial and Collector Roads Procedures.” This short method of speed zoning is based on the premise that the reasonable speed limit is one that conforms to the actual behavior of the majority of motorists, and that by measuring motorist speeds, one will be able to select a speed limit that is both reasonable and effective. Other factors that may be considered when establishing or reevaluating speed limits are the following:

A. Road characteristics, shoulder condition, grade, alignment, and sight distance; B. The pace;
C. Roadside development and environment;
D. Parking practices and pedestrian activity; and
E. Reported crash experience for at least a 12-month period.

3.1 Speed Survey Procedures
The following are guidelines for conducting a speed survey:
1) Only one person is required for the fieldwork. Speeds can be read directly from a radar gun or other speed measuring device.
2) A section of road should be selected with representative operating speeds. If speeds vary on a given road, additional surveys should be conducted. In this case, it may be necessary to establish additional speed zones with different speed limits.
3) Speed measurements should be taken during off-peak hours on weekdays. The weather should be fair with no unusual conditions prevailing. It is important that the surveyor and his equipment be so inconspicuous as not to affect traffic speeds. For this reason, an unmarked car is recommended, with the radar speed meter located as inconspicuously as possible. It should be placed as to be able to survey traffic in both directions, and should not make an angle greater than 15 degrees with the roadway centerline.
4) It is desirable to have a minimum sample of 100 automobiles in each survey, but in no case should the sample for any survey contain less than 50 automobiles. However, this may result in excessive survey periods for low-volume roads. Under these conditions, the survey should be conducted to obtain a bell-shaped representative sampling.
5) Recent changes to the CVC, which were incorporated into the CA MUTCD (Section 2B.13 Standard 12a) state that when a speed limit is to be posted, it shall be established at the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th-percentile, rounding as standard mathematics directs. Under some circumstances the posted speed may be reduced by 5 mph from the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed. If a 5 mph reduction is justified, the E&TS shall document in writing the conditions and justification for the lower speed limit and be approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer. The reasons for the lower speed limit shall be in compliance with CVC Section 22358.

Page 136 of 388 ends

Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits 12
City of Imperial Beach
The following examples are provided to explain the application of these speed limit criteria:
› Option 1: The posted speed may be reduced by 5 mph from the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed. See Standard below for documentation requirements. o Example 1: If the 85th percentile speed in a speed survey for a location was 37 mph, then the speed limit would be established at 35 mph since it is the closest 5 mph increment to the 37 mph speed. The 35 mph established speed limit can be reduced by 5 mph to 30 mph if the conditions and justification for using this lower speed limit are documented in the E&TS and approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer. o Example 2: If the 85th percentile speed in a speed survey for a location was 33 mph, then the speed limit would be established at 35 mph since it is the closest 5 mph increment to the 33 mph speed. The 35 mph established speed limit can be reduced by 5 mph to 30 mph if the conditions and justification for using this lower speed limit are documented in the E&TS and approved by a registered Civil or Traffic Engineer. › Option 2: For cases in which the nearest 5 mph increment of the 85th percentile speed would require a rounding up, then the speed limit may be rounded down to the nearest 5 mph increment below the 85th percentile speed if no further reduction is used. Refer to CVC Section 21400 (b).
o Example 3: If the 85th percentile speed in a speed survey for a location was 33 mph, instead of rounding up to 35mph, the speed limit can be established at 30mph, but no further reductions can be applied (which is allowed in the two examples above). 6) As a check on the validity of the proposed speed limit, an analysis should be made of the threeyear accident record for the section of roadway under consideration. If this Record shows an abnormally high percentage of accidents normally associated with excessive speeds, the proposed speed limit should be further reduced. This is a judgment situation and will not usually be a factor. 7) Short speed zones of less than half a mile should be avoided, except in transition areas. 8) Speed zone changes should be coordinated with changes in roadway conditions or roadway development.
9) Speed zoning should be in 10 mph increments except in urban areas where 5 mph increments are preferable.
10) Speed zoning should be coordinated between adjacent jurisdictions.

3.2 Local Street Exemptions (CVC 40802)
Many streets are designated as "Local" streets per CVC 40802. These streets are exempt from the radar study. Therefore, the speed limit for these streets does not require an Engineering and Traffic Survey. The CVC states the following:

For purposes of this section, a local street or road is one that is functionally classified as “local” on the “California Road System Maps,” that are approved by the Federal Highway administration and maintained by the Department of Transportation. It may also be defined as a “local street or road” if it primarily provides access to abutting residential property and meets the following three conditions:

A. Roadway width of not more than 40 feet.

B. Not more than one-half of a mile of uninterrupted length. Interruptions shall include official traffic control signals as defined in Section 445.

C. Not more than one traffic lane in each direction.

3.3 Business Activity District (CVC 22358.9)
AB 43 added section 22358.9 to the Vehicle Code, to read:
› (a)(1) Notwithstanding any other law, a local authority may, by ordinance, determine and declare a 25 or 20 miles per hour prima facie speed limit on a highway contiguous to a business activity district when posted with a sign that indicates a speed limit of 25 or 20 miles per hour. (2) The prima facie limits established under paragraph (1) apply only to highways that meet all of the following conditions:
(A) A maximum of four traffic lanes.
(B) A maximum posted 30 miles per hour prima facie speed limit immediately prior to and after the business activity district, if establishing a 25 miles per hour speed limit. (C) A maximum posted 25 miles per hour prima facie speed limit immediately prior to and after the business activity district, if establishing a 20 miles per hour speed limit. › (b) As used in this section, a “business activity district” is that portion of a highway and the property contiguous thereto that includes central or neighborhood downtowns, urban villages, or zoning designations that prioritize commercial land uses at the downtown or neighborhood scale and meets at least three of the following requirements in paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive:
(1) No less than 50 percent of the contiguous property fronting the highway consists of retail or dining commercial uses, including outdoor dining, that open directly onto sidewalks adjacent to the highway.
(2) Parking, including parallel, diagonal, or perpendicular spaces located alongside the highway.
(3) Traffic control signals or stop signs regulating traffic flow on the highway, located at intervals of no more than 600 feet.
(4) Marked crosswalks not controlled by a traffic control device. › (c) A local authority shall not declare a prima facie speed limit under this section on a portion of a highway where the local authority has already lowered the speed limit as permitted under Sections 22358.7 and 22358.8.
› (d) A local authority shall issue only warning citations for violations of exceeding the speed limit by 10 miles per hour or less for the first 30 days that a lower speed limit is in effect as authorized by this section.

3.4 Other Considerations
Every street should be inspected for unusual traffic, roadway and roadside conditions not readily apparent to a motorist. A check should be made of the adequacy of traffic control devices, roadway alignment, width, surface conditions, and accident history. Any of these conditions may warrant the selection of a speed lower than the 85th percentile speed for speed zoning.

3.5 Radar Collection Time Frame
The hours of the radar speed survey data collection were restricted to off-peak periods (when possible) for heavily traveled streets and to uncongested peak periods on lightly traveled streets. All surveys were conducted in fair weather.

The radar unit was mounted at the top of the front dash of an unmarked vehicle with the meter reading unit sustained inside the vehicle. The radar unit's calibration was checked periodically using a tuning fork.

The radar operator recorded the speed meter readings for each location on the radar speed survey data sheets included in Appendix A following this report. A representative sampling of at least 100 vehicles were surveyed for each study location. At locations with very light traffic flow, a minimum sample of 50 vehicles were surveyed.

Several factors were used as input to our recommendations for speed limits. These include the 85th Percentile, the 10 MPH Pace and others. These are described in detail below. 1) The CRITICAL SPEED, or the 85th percentile is defined as that speed at or below which 85 percent of the traffic is moving. From experience, traffic engineers have found that this is one of the most reliable factors in determining appropriate speed limits. Hence, the accepted practice, and one that has been used in this case is to set the speed limit at or near the critical speed. This recognizes that other factors could be present where the above may not be appropriate. When this procedure is used, it not only conforms to that required by the State but it also provides a strong base for law enforcement personnel to properly enforce speed limits. 2) The 10 MPH PACE is that continuous 10 mph incremental range of speeds in which the largest number of recorded vehicles is contained. It is a measure of the dispersion of speeds within the sample surveyed. For this element, the accepted practice to the greatest extent possible, is to try and keep the recommended speed limit within the 10 mph pace after considering the critical speed and any factors requiring a speed lower than the critical speed. 3) The MEDIAN (MIDDLE) SPEED, or 50th percentile speed, represents the mid-point value within the range of recorded speeds for a particular roadway location. In other words, 50% of the vehicles travel faster than, and 50% travel slower than the median speeds. This value is another measure of the central tendency of the vehicle speed distribution. 4) The 15th PERCENTILE SPEED is that speed at or below which 15% of the vehicles are traveling.

This value is important in determining the minimum allowable speed limit, given that the vehicles traveling below this speed tend to obstruct the flow of traffic, thereby increasing the accident potential.
5) MODAL SPEED: The modal speed is the speed, which occurs most frequently in the distribution (the most). It serves as another useful measure in verifying the correct recommendation for speed limits.
6) THE MEAN (AVERAGE) is the sum of the speeds of the samples divided by the number of samples. 7) STANDARD DEVIATION: This is a mathematical element, which relates to measures of dispersion of data. It is used to assist in describing the center of speed distribution information around the arithmetic mean or the time mean speed. It also is used in the overall review of recommended speed limits and serves to verify the level of confidence of data used in making recommendations.

4.2 Accident History
Accident information is used to support reducing speed limits below the 85th percentile. The accidents along with daily traffic volumes are used to calculate the crash rate. In order to use this method, the location must be higher than the state’s crash rate. Accident information was obtained from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) for the most recent three-year period available, January 2017 to December 2019. The accident information was reviewed, and corresponding crash rates (number of reported crashes per million vehicle miles) were calculated and compared to the statewide averages.

Twenty-four hour directional volume count (ADT) data was required to calculate segment accident rates.

The raw ADT data is provided in Appendix B and accident rates for each segment are provided in Appendix C.
