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. 2022-59.

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

beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment, and facilities of the City of Imperial Beach.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Not a project as defined by CEQA.

FISCAL IMPACT: unknown

WHEREAS, a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared that establishes mitigation measures that will avoid or reduce all potentially significant environmental impacts identified in the MND to below a level of significance; and WHEREAS, the applicant claims that the project has been delayed due to unforeseeable circumstances; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that there is sufficient cause to grant a time extension for this project and there have been no changes to the zoning code or change in circumstances where the site plan would conflict with development regulations; and WHEREAS, the City Council further offers the following findings in support of its decision to conditionally approve the project:

REGULAR COASTAL PERMIT (IBMC § 19.87.050):

1. The proposed development conforms to the certified local coastal plan including coastal land use policies.

The General Plan/Local Coastal Program designates the site as General Commercial & Mixed-Use (C/MU-1 Zone). The purpose of the C/MU-1 zone is to provide areas for mixed-use development, multiple-family dwellings, and for businesses to meet the local demand for commercial goods and services. It is intended that the dominant type of commercial activity in the C/MU-1 zone will be community and neighborhood serving retail and office uses (IBMC Section 19.26.010). The proposed vertical mixed-use project meets the purpose and intent of the land use designation because mixed-use buildings are permitted in the C/MU-1 Zone and the residential and commercial goods and services will be provided. This approval also provides an after-the-fact demolition of the 24-room El Camino Motel. Hotel rooms would be provided within this project, some of which would offer lower costs, to offset these visitor accommodations. Also, conditions of approval have been provided in this resolution to ensure that graded materials are adequately exported, if necessary. As such, the proposed development conforms to the certified local coastal program including coastal land use policies.

2. For all development seaward of the nearest public highway to the shoreline, the proposed development meets standards for public access and recreation of Chapter Three of the 1976 Coastal Act and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The project site is located between the seaward of the first public road. The General Plan/Local Coastal Program designates the site as General Commercial & Mixed-Use (C/MU-1 Zone). The purpose of the C/MU-1 zone is to provide areas for mixed-use development, multiple-family dwellings, and for businesses to meet the local demand for commercial goods and services. It is intended that the dominant type of commercial activity in the C/MU-1 zone will be community and neighborhood serving retail and office uses (IBMC Section 19.26.010). The proposed vertical mixed-use project meets the purpose and intent of the land use designation because mixed-use buildings are permitted in the C/MU-1 Zone and the residential and commercial goods and services will be provided. This approval also provides an after-the-fact demolition of the 24-room El Camino Motel. Hotel rooms would be provided within this project, some of which would offer lower costs, to offset these visitor accommodations. Also, conditions of approval have been provided in this resolution to ensure that graded materials are adequately exported, if necessary. As such, the proposed development meets

Page 128 of 294 ends

Resolution No. 2022-60

Page 3 of 16 ends

standards for public access and recreation of Chapter Three of the 1976 Coastal Act and regulations promulgated thereunder.

3. The proposed development meets the minimum criteria set forth in the City of Imperial Beach Zoning Ordinance, the City’s Minimum Landscape Planting and Irrigation Standards, and the City’s Design Guidelines, as applicable.

The proposed development has been designed to meet the minimum criteria set forth in the City of Imperial Beach Zoning Ordinance, City’s Minimum Landscape Planting and Irrigation Standards, and the City’s Design Guidelines.

4. The proposed development meets minimum criteria set forth in Sections

19.81.060, 19.82.050., 19.83.120., 19.84.050., and 19.86.100., of this title for site plans, conditional use permits, design review, variances, zoning classification and rezonings.

The proposed development meets the minimum criteria set forth in Sections 19.81.060,

19.82.050, and 19.83.110 (Section 19.83.120 is no longer applicable) for a site plan review, conditional use permit, and design review subject to the findings provided within this Resolution. Sections 19.84.050 and 19.86.100 are not applicable because the project does not require a variance or zoning classification/rezoning.

5. For all development involving the construction of a shoreline protective device, a mitigation fee shall be collected which shall be used for each sand replenishment purposes. The mitigation fee shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account designated by the Executive Director of the California Coastal Commission and the city manager of Imperial Beach in lieu of providing sand to replace the sand a beach area that would be lost due to the impacts of any proposed protective structure.

The subject site is not located near an area that would require shoreline protection. As such, the proposed project does not necessitate the construction of a shoreline protection device and would not have an impact on the sand in any beach area.

Therefore, a mitigation fee is not required for the project.

6. This project complies with the California Environmental Quality Act.

This project complies with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality (CEQA) as a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) had been prepared for this project and was routed for public review from May 9, 2019 to June 10, 2019 and submitted to the State Clearinghouse (SCH #2019059022) for agency review. The City conducted an Environmental Initial Study (IS) that determined the proposed project could have a potentially significant environmental effect in the following areas: Hazards and Hazardous Materials and Noise. The MND identifies mitigation measures that will avoid or reduce all potentially significant environmental effects to below a level of significance.

7. Public Notice requirements, pursuant to Zoning Ordinance Section 19.87.090, of the Coastal Development Project have been satisfied.

The project description and the date of the City Council public hearing were sent to property owners within 300 feet and occupants within 100 feet of the subject site on July 4, 2019, and a public hearing notice was published in the Imperial Beach Eagle & Times newspaper on July 4, 2019.

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (IBMC § 19.82.040):

8. That the proposed use is necessary or desirable to provide a service or facility which will contribute to the general well-being of the neighborhood or community; The purpose of the C/MU-1 zone is to provide areas for mixed-use development, multiple-family dwellings, and for businesses to meet the local demand for commercial goods and services. It is intended that the dominant type of commercial activity in the C/MU-1 zone will be community and neighborhood serving retail and office uses (IBMC Section 19.26.010). The proposed vertical mixed-use project meets the purpose and intent of the land use designation. The project would include a 25% reduction of parking, as permitted by IBMC Sections 19.48.035 19.48.050, with the provision of various transportation demand management strategies. A conditional use permit for the reduction of parking is necessary because the uses provided in the project offer services to the community and the General Plan/Local Coastal Program encourages off-site or shared parking in commercial/mixed-use areas to improve the pedestrian atmosphere and/or improved design (Policy C-22). A conditional use permit is also required for a restaurant with live entertainment. The project is proposing to occasionally incorporate live entertainment into the commercial component of the project, which may offer desired uses to the community, though any live entertainment must be authorized by the City per the conditions of this resolution.

9. That the use will not, under the circumstances of the particular use, be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity, or injurious to property or improvements in the vicinity; The proposed uses will not be detrimental to the public, as there will be no hazardous materials, fumes, or operations at the facility, nor will there be any noxious odors, loud noises, or excessive traffic generated at the site. The proposed uses are compatible with other uses in the neighborhood and would function in a similar manner as other nearby uses. In addition, conditions of approval have been provided within this resolution to ensure the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity.

10. That the proposed use will comply with the regulations and conditions specified in this title for the use and for other permitted uses in the same zone; and Vertical mixed-use developments with reductions in parking and restaurants with live entertainment are permitted in the C/MU-1 Zone. The proposed project is consistent with the zoning for this area and will comply with all of the regulations and conditions for these uses. The project complies with the zoning requirements and meets or exceeds the minimum development criteria. The proposed project is consistent with the zoning for this area and will comply with all other regulations and conditions for these uses.

11. That the granting of the conditional use permit will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the zoning code, the adopted General Plan and the adopted Local Coastal Program.

The C/MU-1 Zone allows for vertical mixed-use developments to have reductions in parking and restaurants with live entertainment. The project complies with the zoning requirements and meets or exceeds the minimum development incentive criteria. The proposed project is consistent with the zoning for this area and will comply with all other regulations and conditions for these uses. The proposed project and conditional use permit complies with the General Plan and Local Coastal program and is in harmony

Page 130 of 294 ends

Resolution No. 2022-60

Page 5 of 16 ends

with the purpose and intent of the zoning code because it meets the purpose and intent of the land use designation and all other zoning or development criteria.

DESIGN REVIEW/SITE PLAN REVIEW (IBMC § 19.81.060):

12. The proposed use does not have any detrimental effect upon the general health, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood, or is not detrimental or injurious to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood.

The project proposes the construction of a vertical mixed-use project with hotel, commercial, and residential uses. The project would not have a detrimental effect on the general health, welfare, safety and convenience of persons residing or working in the neighborhood because it is consistent with the development standards and zoning designations. The development would not be injurious to the value of the property and improvements in the neighborhood because the project represents an improvement of the existing conditions and the project could improve property values and stimulate growth in the area.

13. The proposed use does not adversely affect the General Plan or the Local Coastal Plan.

The General Plan/Local Coastal Program designates the site as General Commercial & Mixed-Use (C/MU-1 Zone). The purpose of the C/MU-1 zone is to provide areas for mixed-use development, multiple-family dwellings, and for businesses to meet the local demand for commercial goods and services. It is intended that the dominant type of commercial activity in the C/MU-1 zone will be community and neighborhood serving retail and office uses (IBMC Section 19.26.010). The proposed vertical mixed-use project meets the purpose and intent of the land use designation because mixed-use buildings are permitted in the C/MU-1 Zone and the residential and commercial goods and services will be provided. This approval also provides an after-the-fact demolition of the 24-room El Camino Motel. Hotel rooms would be provided within this project, some of which would offer lower costs, to offset these visitor accommodations. Also, conditions of approval have been provided in this resolution to ensure that graded materials are adequately exported, if necessary. As such, the proposed development does not adversely affect the General Plan or the Local Coastal Program.

14. The proposed use is compatible with other existing and proposed uses in the neighborhood.

The surrounding properties are located in the same commercial zone with a mix of residential and commercial uses. Design features, mitigation measures, and landscaping have been incorporated into the project and conditions of approval that ensure compatibility with other existing and proposed uses in the neighborhood.

15. The location, site layout and design of the proposed use orients the proposed structures to streets, driveways, sunlight, wind and other adjacent structures and uses in a harmonious manner.

The proposed building is oriented to Palm Avenue/Highway 75 and 7th Street and has been designed, by way of siting, building height limitations, setbacks, and stepbacks to orient the proposed structures to streets, driveways, sunlight, wind and other adjacent structures in a harmonious manner. In addition, mitigation measures, and landscaping have been incorporated into the project and conditions of approval that ensure compatibility with other existing and proposed uses in the neighborhood. The project

Page 131 of 294 ends

Resolution No. 2022-60

Page 6 of 16 ends

proposes varied rooflines and architectural detailing and relief through the incorporation of building recesses. The site layout and design is harmonious with the area because it meets or exceeds all minimum height, setback, and stepback requirements.

16. The combination and relationship of one proposed use to another on the site is properly integrated.

The project proposes hotel, commercial, and residential uses within a building that are properly integrated. The design style and the choice of building materials properly integrate the building with surrounding uses by way of siting, building height limitations, setbacks, and stepbacks.

17. Access to and parking for the proposed use does not create any undue traffic problem.

Vehicular ingress and egress to and from the site would be provided from the Palm Avenue/Highway 75 and additional egress would be provided from 7 th Street. Access
and ingress and egress for the project should not create undue parking or traffic problems. Transportation Demand Management strategies are also proposed to assist with alleviating the demand for parking.

18. All other applicable provisions of the Zoning Code are complied with.

The project complies with all other criteria set forth in the City of Imperial Beach Zoning Ordinance.

19. Any other considerations as the Community Development Department deem necessary to preserve the health, safety and convenience of the City in general.

The project involves the construction of an approximately 56,998-gross-square-foot multi-use facility on three parcels located at 550 Highway 75 and 624 7th Street in Imperial Beach. The project site primarily fronts Palm Avenue/Highway 75 and a portion of the site extends to 7th Street. The surrounding area is zoned C/MU-1 (General Commercial & Mixed-Use), similar to the subject project site. The property to the north is the recently constructed Bayside Landing development (previously “Bernardo Shores”), which is comprised of 187 residential units, and a mix of commercial and residential uses are located to the east, south, and west. The primary building elevation would face Palm Avenue, which is consistent with the surrounding commercial and mixed-use uses along the Palm Avenue Corridor, and 7th Street would be used for vehicle exiting via an overhead gate.

Uses: The facility would
include a four-story Zshaped hotel/residential
building that follows the
northern perimeter of the
site and a two-story
rectangular restaurant
building along the
southwestern perimeter.

Overall, the project would
provide 40,149 square
feet of residential dwelling
unit space (51 units),
18,148 square feet of
hotel units (47 units),
6,680 square feet of office/shop/restaurant space. The project would also include courtyard patio space, a rooftop pool terrace, fitness area, and outdoor deck space/amenities.

The residential component would consist of 30 one-bedroom units and 21 two-bedroom units, for a total of 51 dwelling units. Two units would be designated as very low-income units, subject to an agreement with the City. The applicant is not requesting a density bonus or development incentives, but has requested a reduction of development process fees as referenced in Imperial Beach Municipal Code (IBMC) Section 19.65.060.B.2 (this would not include any required impact fees). A pool would be provided to serve the residential component of the project and may include occasional outdoor daytime events.

The hotel component would consist of 47 hotel units with three unit-types: micro, standard, and deluxe. The first and second floors would provide 19 micro hotel units measuring approximately 217 square feet, 20 standard hotel units measuring approximately 463 square feet, and eight deluxe hotel units measuring approximately 653 square feet and equipped with cooking facilities/kitchenettes.

The office/shop/restaurant space would consist of a two-story building, totaling 6,680 square feet. The first floor would contain a lobby, front desk/reception area, and office space, in addition to a lounge seating area, a kitchen and associated pantry area, as well as restrooms. A roll-up wall would be located at the westerly end of the lounge area, which would provide access to an 1,810-square-foot outdoor courtyard patio area. The second floor would consist of a 1,749- square-foot deck area, restaurant/lounge seating, bar area, storage, office space, restrooms,

and eco roof. The project is proposing to occasionally incorporate live entertainment into the commercial component of the project, though any live entertainment must be authorized by the City.

Building Design and
Landscaping: The building
height measures 40 feet,
though some parapet walls
and roof structures that
screen elevators,
stairways, and equipment
exceed the 40-foot limit
pursuant to IBMC Section

19.40.020. The building
architectural style would be
modern, with the primary
colors including grays and
whites exterior stucco, and
accent colors including
dark brown metal wall panels and a royal blue metal roof. Landscaping would be provided throughout the development, totaling approximately 9,650 square feet. The landscaping would include planters located in interior areas, a bioswale and medium trees along the northern perimeter, a living hedge wall along the eastern perimeter, smaller trees along the highway frontage, and specialized planting demarcating main project entrance. Other landscaped areas throughout the project site would contain pre-cast planter/pots with low shrubs, small scale trees, trees, synthetic lawn surfaces, a water feature, and a hedge living wall.

Parking: The surface
parking lot would consist
of 25 spaces, which
includes 2 ADA
(Americans with
Disabilities Act) spaces,
and 4 motorcycle spaces.

A 40,750-square-foot
below-grade parking
structure would be
constructed containing 81
spaces, which includes 2
ADA stalls, 12 electric
vehicle charging stations,
9 motorcycle spaces, and
two tandem spaces. A total of 106 parking spaces would be provided (not including the motorcycle spaces or extra tandem stalls).

A project with 51 residential units, 39 hotel units without cooking facilities, 8 hotel units with cooking facilities, and 6,680 square feet of commercial space would typically require 141 parking spaces. However, pursuant to IBMC Section 19.48.035, a 25% reduction for vertical mixed-use projects may be permitted, resulting in 106 required parking spaces. The project is

proposing to implement transportation demand management strategies to offset any demand for parking.

Transportation Demand Management Strategies: The project would provide Transportation Demand Management (TDM) features to encourage transit use, carpooling, pedestrian/bike (multimodal) use, and transportation network company use, such as Uber and Lyft. The following is a list of proposed TDM features:
 The project will cater to military personnel and would provide a shuttle to-and-from the base
 14 bicycle racks will be provided on-site for the general public  Motorcycle parking
 Resident bicycle storage racks
 Ridehail/rideshare pick-up zones on-site
 Discount with proof of public ridership or alternative transportation  Parking validation ticket for Lounge Area
 Shuttle services from adjacent parking lot, as needed/required  Flex-parking for hotel purposes (e.g. Uber/Lyft and/or rental) California Coastal Commission: The project is located in the Appeal Jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission. As such, City staff solicited and received comments from the Coastal Commission during the City’s review so that general concerns could be addressed. In general, the Commission was concerned with the provision of visitor accommodations and proper export of graded materials. The 24-room El Camino Motel was previously located on the site and was demolished in 2012 after it had fallen into disrepair. Following demolition, Commission staff advised that a Coastal Development Permit should have been issued for the demolition and that any future permit application should include an after-the-fact demolition of the structure and address the loss of overnight visitor-serving accommodations. The applicant was aware of such concerns and prepared an overnight accommodation memorandum that addressed lower cost visitor accommodations and average daily rates (see Attachment 5). The memorandum notes that 30 of the new hotel rooms would provide lower costs (24 replacement rooms and 6 new rooms) and 17 would be market rate. The applicant proposed to incorporate conditions related to the hotel units that include general occupancy requirements, length-of-stay provisions, prohibition on conversions, lower-cost unit provisions, and monitoring, which the Coastal Commission staff has accepted. Resolution 2019-8056 includes this condition, in addition to a condition regarding the export of graded materials and an after-the-fact demolition of the previous motel.

Design Review Board: The Design Review Board reviewed the project on March 21, 2019 and with a vote of 4-0 (1 absent) recommended approval of the project’s design with the following considerations: 1) provide landscaping on the north dense enough to mitigate privacy and noise; 2) provide two affordable units that must remain affordable subject to an agreement with the City or other way or monitoring; 3) provide sound attenuation for residences through the use of building materials; 4) minimize traffic noise from vehicles exiting 7th Street; 5) provide window alignment on the north property line to maximize privacy; 6) provide narrative for screening properties to the east. The applicant has addressed these items as noted below:

1. Provide landscaping on the north dense enough to mitigate privacy and noise. -Response: The developer concurred and stated that the design would reflect a more, dense landscape palette on the north property line of the project.

2. Provide two affordable units that must remain affordable subject to an agreement with the City or other way or monitoring.
-Response: The developer would sign an agreement with the City indicating two units would be affordable units for the life of the project.

3. Provide sound attenuation for residences through the use of building materials. -Response: The developer takes no exception taken and sound attenuation would be consistent with best practices and the California Building Code.

4. Minimize traffic noise from vehicles existing 7th Street. -Response: The developer concurred and indicated that the design would address this topic consistent with best practices.

5. Provide window alignment on the north property line to maximize privacy. -Response: The developer concurred and stated that window alignment of the project would maximize the privacy of adjacent residents.

6. Provide narrative for screening properties to the east. -Response: Along the east property line the CMU wall would have climbing vegetation such a vine, trumpet vine, or similar planting with the intent to provide a “good neighbor” view for the adjacent property owners.

These recommendations have been incorporated as conditions of approval within Resolution 2019-8056.

GENERAL PLAN/ ZONING CONSISTENCY: C/MU-1 (Seacoast Commercial and Mixed-use) Zone:

(MND; SCH# 2019059022) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15073 was published and circulated for a 30-day public comment period on May 9, 2019. The Draft MND was also transmitted to the State Clearinghouse for a 30-day agency review. The public comment period closed on June 10, 2019. A Final MND was prepared that responded to the one comment letter was received and also identifies a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) that would implement mitigation measures that would avoid or reduce all potentially significant environmental effects to below a level of significance (Attachment 6).

Below is a brief discussion of the project’s potential impacts and proposed mitigation measures that would reduce the impacts to below significance:

Hazards and Hazardous Materials: Due to the age of the existing residential structures that would be demolished for the project, there is potential for lead based paint and asbestoscontaining materials to be present. The project would be required to use proper abatement and disposal protocol per Occupational Health and Safety Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, etc.

Noise: A Noise Analysis report prepared by RECON Environmental determined that exterior mitigation on the rooftop pool deck would be required to reduce noise levels to comply with the City’s compatibility standards. As such, the project would include a 3.5-foot-high barrier adjacent to the rooftop pool to reduce these exterior noise levels. In addition, sound resistant construction for walls adjacent to specific receiver areas would be necessary to reduce sound transmission to affected residential units and hotel rooms.

Traffic: The City of Imperial Beach General Plan and the Otay Mesa-Nestor Community Plan identify several vehicular capacity enhancing projects; however, in order to be conservative, no circulation network changes or improvements were assumed for the Year 2040 traffic conditions. The traffic study summarized the year 2040 roadway segment operations with and without project traffic and no significant impacts as a result of this project were identified.

COASTAL JURISDICTION:

This project is located in the coastal zone as defined by the California Coastal Act of 1976. The City Council public hearing will serve as the required coastal permit hearing and the City Council will consider the findings under the California Coastal Act. Pursuant to the City of Imperial Beach Zoning Ordinance Section 19.87.050, review of the proposal will consider whether the proposed development satisfies the required findings prior to the approval and issuance of a Coastal Development Permit. The project is located in the Appeal Jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission as indicated on the Local Coastal Program Post Certification and Appeal Jurisdiction Map and, as such, is appealable to the California Coastal Commission under Section 30603(a) of the California Public Resources Code. The coastal development permit would include an after-the-fact demolition of a motel that was demolished circa 2012.

ITEM TITLE: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 2022-57 AUTHORIZING RECEIPT OF THE

NATIONAL COASTAL RESILIENCE GRANT FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE IMPERIAL

BEACH COMMUNITY RESILIENCE PLAN AND REQUISITE BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE GRANT FUNDS AND EXPENDITURES. (0600-20)
ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Community Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) released the National Coastal Resilience Grant request for pre-proposals in April of 2021, and subsequently requested projects to submit a full proposal by invitation in May of 2021 for approximately $34 million in grants to create and restore natural systems to increase protection for communities from coastal storms, sea- and lake-level changes, inundation, and coastal erosion, while improving habitats for fish and wildlife species. The grant included four priority areas: Community Capacity Building and Planning, Site Assessment and Preliminary Design, Final Design and Permitting, and Restoration and Monitoring. City staff identified an opportunity for the Community Capacity Building and Planning priority area for a planning project that would be titled “Imperial Beach Community Resilience Plan” (IBCRP). The average grant fund award amount for Community Capacity Building and Planning was $250,000 and, as such, staff applied for and was awarded the full award amount of $250,000 to fund the development of the IBCRP.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt Resolution Number 2022-57 authorizing the City Manager, or designee thereof, to execute all documents and take any actions necessary and appropriate to carry out the intent of this resolution accepting the grant funds awarded by NFWF and authorizing the City Manager or designee to make required budget adjustments to accommodate the grant funds and project expenditures.

OPTIONS:

In addition to receiving this report and adopting staff’s recommendations, the City Council can:
 Not adopt Resolution 2022-57, opting out of the grant funding; or  Request additional information.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The City of Imperial Beach completed a Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment in 2016 which identified the impacts that the City currently experiences related to hazards such as tidal inundation and flooding that may be further exacerbated in the future due to sea level rise.

According to the study, significant impacts may occur with a 1.6 foot increase in Sea Level Rise should the City not implement any adaptation strategies. The assessment noted vulnerabilities that Imperial Beach may face from sea-level rise such as increased tidal flooding, coastal erosion, and high groundwater during high tides and storm events. Imperial Beach would benefit from understanding and identifying coastal resilience needs for our community and determining the feasibility of adaptation projects that can increase the City’s resiliency.

The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) released the National Coastal Resilience Fund (NCRF) Grant request for pre-proposals in April of 2021 for approximately $34 million in grants to create and restore natural systems to increase protection for communities from coastal storms, sea- and lake-level changes, inundation, and coastal erosion, while improving habitats for fish and wildlife species. The grant included four priority areas: Community Capacity Building and Planning, Site Assessment and Preliminary Design, Final Design and Permitting, and Restoration and Monitoring. City staff identified this grant as an opportunity to utilize the funding for the priority area Community Capacity Building and Planning to address the need of identifying adaptation pathways to address impacts related to flooding and sea level rise through the development of a resiliency plan.

City staff submitted a pre-proposal for $250,000 to develop the Imperial Beach Community Resilience Plan (IBCRP) and was invited to submit a full proposal in May of 2021. After submitting the full proposal, the City was awarded the $250,000 NCRF Grant. The NCRF Grant has a match requirement of $250,000, which the City would provide through in-kind services. Specifically, the City intends on committing staff time for public outreach/engagement workshops and events, plan/document development, educational outreach, and marketing efforts.

The full proposal was for the development of the Imperial Beach Community Resilience Plan Project. The project would include stakeholder engagement, data collection to gain a better understanding of the existing constraints, surveying the coastal areas, establishing a baseline and monitoring program, ensuring broad utility of the resilience plan, and building capacity to enable planning of future adaptation projects that may incorporate natural infrastructure or other viable methods, strategies and other activities.

The Imperial Beach Community Resilience Plan Project activities would include the following:
 Creation of a work plan and outline
 Constraints and opportunities analysis
 Outreach and planning coordination
 Development of a draft Imperial Beach Community Resilience Plan o Preparation of a Monitoring Plan
o Preparation of an Implementation Plan
 Public Review process
 City Council Consideration of Adoption of a Final Plan The resulting plan would guide the City in risk management and mitigation while providing an opportunity to enhance surrounding habitats by balancing core community needs with the ecological principles and processes that afford Imperial Beach the best protection over time.

ITEM TITLE: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION 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:

Conduct the second reading, waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 2022-1215.

OPTIONS:
 Conduct the Second Reading, waive further reading, and adoption of Ordinance No. 2022- 1215.
 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).

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

Page 161 of 294 ends

P a g e | 2
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

Page 162 of 294 ends

P a g e | 3
 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.

City Council conducted the first reading and introduction of Ordinance No. 2022-1215 on June 15, 2022.

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.

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.

4 ANALYSIS FACTORS

4.1 Speed Data
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.

ITEM TITLE: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 2022-1214 AMENDING CHAPTERS 6.04, 12.68, 12.56, 4.64, 12.33, 10.12 OF THE IMPERIAL BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE RELATED TO USE OF CITY PARKS AND PUBLIC PLACES. (0900-95).

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

Parks & Recreation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Staff has prepared several amendments to various chapters of the Imperial Beach Municipal Code to clarify the rules and regulations associated with city parks and public places in the City. Some of the existing rules and regulations are inconsistent and not clear and the amendments by staff will improve consistency of regulations for all city park and public spaces.

RECOMMENDATION:

Conduct second reading, waive further reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 2022-1214.

OPTIONS:
 Conduct second reading, waive further reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 2022-1214.  Continuation of the item with direction provided to the City Manager  Reject the proposed Ordinance and amendments to the Municipal Code BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

The current park and public spaces in Imperial Beach are used by all residents but have inconsistent regulations that are sometimes unclear in some instances to those using the parks and public spaces. Staff has prepared a series of amendments to allow the regulations to be applied more consistently. In summary form (more detailed in Ordinance 2022-1214), staff is recommending the following modifications to the Imperial Beach Municipal Code:

1. Section 12.56.020(D) would be amended to simplify and expand the language relating to violations of the code. Rather than attempt to list each potential violation, the new language is inclusive to read that any violation of the code is unlawful and the definition of a public park was clarified.

2. Uses and hours of operation on the Pier and in the parks have been clarified.

3. Language was expanded to provide the Park Rangers and Code Compliance Officers with the authority to enforce the regulations.

4. Allowable uses on the soccer field in Veterans Park, and the Skatepark at the Sports Park will be clarified.

5. The process for obtaining a park use permit has been included.

P a g e | 2

6. Allowable uses and access considerations for the ball fields has been updated.

Ordinance 2022-1214 identifies modifications to Chapter 6.04, Chapter 12.68, Chapter 12.56, Chapter 4.64, Chapter 12.33, and Chapter 10.12 of the Imperial Beach Municipal Code in more detail, and when implemented will clarify and enhance the existing regulations and rules for park and public spaces in the City.

The introduction and first reading of Ordinance No. 2022-1214 took place on June 15, 2022. Note:

There was a typographical error on the staff report and Attachment listing the ordinance number as 2022-2214, however, the correct ordinance number was announced in the motion.

FISCAL IMPACT: None

The engineering design firm presented various alternatives to the public and City Council and the proposed Concept Plan ‘A’ was selected (Attachment 2).

In 2014, 30% preliminary engineering plans were drafted for Concept Plan ‘A” as shown in Attachment 3. Some elements of the master plan have already been constructed by private owners redeveloping their projects abutting the roadway. The Project entails constructing the missing pieces remaining within the master plan. An updated plan view of the existing conditions versus proposed improvements is attached (Attachment 4).

The Project envisions installing new street trees to significantly increase the tree canopy within this under-served are of the community and reduce the urban "heat island" effect. The improvements will also reduce the illegal parking and dumping that occurs along this corridor.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This project may be categorically exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section 15304 (Minor Alterations to Land).

ITEM TITLE: CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 2022-1216, RESOLUTION 2022-54 AND RESOLUTION 2022-55 NECESSARY TO PLACE A MEASURE ON THE NOVEMBER 8, 2022

GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT FOR RESIDENTS TO VOTE ON WHETHER TO INCREASE THE TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY TAX (TOT) IN IMPERIAL BEACH.

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT:

City Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City of Imperial Beach currently assesses a ten percent Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) on all short-term (30 days or less) occupancies within the City. The TOT applies to hotels, motels and short-term rental units in the City as defined in Chapter 3.24 of the Imperial Beach Municipal Code. The revenue from the TOT is included in the City’s General Fund and used for general government purposes.

The City Council is seeking to improve and expand the municipal services provided to the residents of the community. Findings from a recent community survey and several focus group meetings indicate that clean and safe neighborhoods, provision of effective public safety and recreational opportunities all rank very high with residents and business owners. If the residents choose to increase the TOT from 10 percent to 14 percent, the increased revenue could be used to address the priorities identified by the residents.

Adoption of Ordinance 2022-1216, Resolution 2022-54 and Resolution 2022-55 would direct and authorize staff to take all necessary actions to place a Measure on the November 8, 2022 General Election Ballot to allow voters to decide whether to increase the TOT in Imperial Beach.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the City Council obtain public input and consider approval of:

1. Ordinance No. 2022-1216, subject to voter approval, by way of introduction by title only with a waiver of the full reading; and

2. Resolution Nos. 2022-54 and 2022-55 directing that a Measure be placed on the November 8, 2022 General Election ballot to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax rate by 4%; submitting the ballot text for the Measure to the voters at the election; and authorizing other election particulars.

OPTIONS:

Page 283 of 294 ends

P a g e | 2
 Adoption of Ordinance 2022-1216, Resolution 2022-54 and Resolution 2022-55 authorizing staff to take all necessary actions to place a Measure on the November 8, 2022 General Election Ballot allowing resident to allow voters to decide whether to increase the Transient Occupancy Tax in Imperial Beach;  Modification and adoption of Ordinance 2022-1216, Resolution 2022-54 and Resolution 2022-55 with specific direction provided to staff – note, if action is not taken on August 3, 2022, the deadline for submission of the ballot materials may not be completed prior to the deadline established by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters; or  Denial of Ordinance 2022-1216, Resolution 2022-54 and Resolution 2022-55 which will result in no measure being placed on the November 8, 2022 General Election Ballot.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:

At the City Council retreat held on September 20, 2021, the City Council directed staff to explore various options for generating additional revenue to allow the City to expand and enhance the services and programs provided to the residents of the community. A random resident survey was completed in the Spring of 2022 to review priorities for services with City residents. The priorities that ranked highest, determined by residents identifying them as “Extremely” or “Very” important, include the following:
 Keeping Neighborhoods Safe and Clean = 94%
 Keeping Beaches Safe and Clean = 91%
 Maintaining 911 Emergency Response = 90%
 Retaining Local Small Businesses and Jobs = 90%
 Maintaining Local Fire Projection = 89%
 Maintaining Rapid Response to Burglaries = 88%
 Keeping Parks and Public Spaces Safe and Clean = 86%
There were certainly many other priorities, but those above represent the highest-ranking concerns of the residents who completed the survey.

Staff also held a series of focused meetings at which the priorities identified in the survey were generally validated by those attending. Meetings conducted by staff included hospitality representatives (hotels, motels, and restaurants) business organizations (Chamber of Commerce and Seacoasters) local clubs and non-profit organizations (Kiwanis, Imperial Beach Sr. Citizens, Neighborhood Center, Woman’s Club and IB Collaborative Group). These priorities included essential services which included keeping neighborhoods safe, quiet and clean, upgrading and maintaining local parks, and improving lighting, sidewalks and safety in areas of the city frequented by visitors, the expansion of program and services, and improvements to the beachfront to support business investments.

Potential Tax Measure:

In accordance with the California Revenue and Taxation Code section 7280, the City of Imperial Beach has the authority to assess a Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) on all short-term occupancies of 30 days or less. The provisions (IBMC 3.24) apply to all hotels, motels and shortterm or vacation rentals. All of the TOT collected by Imperial Beach remains with the City and is not shared with any other entity. TOT assessments are collected as General Fund revenue and are used to provide general municipal services.

Page 284 of 294 ends

P a g e | 3
The City of Imperial Beach currently levies a 10% TOT. For comparative purposes, TOT rates in San Diego County range between 6% and 13.5%, and in the State of California, the rates range between 4% and 15%.

A change in the collection rate assessed by a City must be approved by the voters through a process referred to as a tax measure. Tax measures have various technical conditions that dictate what percentage of residents must cast a vote in favor of the measure. Tax revenue generated for specific purposes must be passed by two-thirds (67% rounded) of those voting. For instance, if a tax is passed specifically to provide funding for the Fire Department, two-thirds of the residents must vote in favor. In contrast, revenues generated for more generalized government services must be passed by one-half (50%) plus one vote (or more) of those voting.

After a review of the priorities identified by the residents in the recent survey, it has been determined that any additional revenue if the tax measure is approved by the voters could be distributed to several different departments to address various priorities. Therefore, the tax measure proposed as an increase in the TOT in Imperial Beach would be considered a general purpose tax requiring more than 50% of the residents to vote in favor of the increase. The proposed tax measure would be to simply change the rate of the TOT from 10% to 14% and all revenues received from the tax would continue to be general fund revenues. The proposed measure would not change anything about Chapter 3.24 of the IBMC other than the rate of the tax; all provisions of Chapter 3.24 with respect to the definitions and application of the tax on occupancies would remain as is.

If the City Council is inclined to adopt Ordinance 2022-1216, Resolution 2022-54 and Resolution 2022-55 that authorizes staff to take all actions necessary to place a measure on the November 8, 2022, General Election Ballot increasing the Imperial Beach TOT by 4%, staff would recommend the following ballot question:

IMPERIAL BEACH QUALITY OF LIFE MEASURE. Shall the measure to maintain quality of life for residents, retain local businesses, jobs; keep neighborhoods, beaches, parks, public areas safe/clean, maintain 911 emergency response; reduce traffic congestion; gain community benefit from tourism by increasing the transient occupancy tax (paid by hotel, motel, short-term rental guests) by 4%, providing about $400,000 annually until ended by voters, with annual audits, public disclosure of spending, all funds for Imperial Beach, be adopted?
In order for the measure to be considered a general tax measure, where a simple majority plus one vote is required for passage, the measure must be placed on the ballot coinciding with a general City Council election. The general election for City Council this year takes place on November 8, 2022.

Should the Council choose to place the measure on the November 2022 ballot, the City Attorney will need to prepare an impartial analysis showing the effect of the measure on the existing laws and the operation of the measure. The City Clerk will also need to establish a process and timeline for the submittal of ballot arguments, consistent with the requirements of State law and the County Registrar of Voters. These items are addressed in Resolution Nos. 2022-54 and 2022-55
It should be noted that approval of the resolutions and the ordinance to submit the increase in the general tax to the voters requires a 4/5 vote of the City Council to pass.

AND PROVIDING FOR BALLOT ARGUMENTS AND THE IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS WHEREAS, the City is proposing a ballot measure to increase the hotel room tax (also called “transient occupancy tax” or “TOT”) by 4%; and
WHEREAS, this measure will not increase taxes for local Imperial Beach residents who are not hotel or lodging guests; it will be paid only by out-of-town visitors and tourists when they stay at a hotel, motel, or short-term rental in our city, ensuring that visitors from out of town pay their fair share for using our services; and
WHEREAS, the funds collected as a result of this measure will endure rigorous fiscal accountability with public disclosure of all spending and annual independent financial audits, and by law, all funds must remain in the City of Imperial Beach and cannot be taken or diverted by the County or State government; and
WHEREAS, this measure would provide locally controlled funding to maintain quality of life for residents and Imperial Beach’s essential services which could include keeping neighborhoods safe, quiet and clean, upgrading and maintaining local parks, and improving lighting and safety in areas of the city frequented by visitors to improve the tourism economy; and WHEREAS, residents recently prioritized City services including retaining local small businesses and jobs, keeping neighborhoods safe and clean, maintaining rapid response to burglaries, maintaining 911 emergency response, and maintaining local public safety and fire protection; and
WHEREAS, Revenue & Taxation Code section 7280 authorizes the City Council for the City of Imperial Beach to levy a transient occupancy tax upon the privilege of occupying a hotel as defined in Imperial Beach Municipal Code Chapter 3.24 for a period of 30 days or less; and WHEREAS, state law allows the City to collect the increased TOT if the ordinance proposing the tax is approved by a two-thirds vote of all members of the City Council prior to submission to the voters, and the tax is thereafter approved by a simple majority (50%+1) vote of the qualified voters of the City voting in an election on the issue; and WHEREAS, by a two-thirds vote, the City Council has approved Ordinance 2022-1216 attached hereto as Exhibit “A” amending Chapter 3.24 of the Imperial Beach Municipal Code for general purposes subject to the approval of the majority of voters in the City; and WHEREAS, a General Municipal Election for Tuesday, November 8, 2022, has been called by Resolution No. 2022-40 and Resolution No. 2022-41, adopted on June 15, 2022, and pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7280 and California Elections Code Section 9222, the City Council desires to submit this Transient Occupancy Tax Increase Ordinance attached as Exhibit “A” to the electorate at the General Municipal Election that was previously called; and

General Municipal Election ballot that has been consolidated with the Statewide General Election Ballot; and
