B. RESOLUTION.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined and resolved by the City Council of the City of Irwindale as follows:

1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.

2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this City Council during the public hearing conducted with regard to this Application, including written staff reports

Resolution No. 2025-02-3590
GPA No. 02-2022

and verbal testimony, and evidence in the City’s record for the project, this City Council hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The Property was previously contemplated in the City’s General Plan as a landfill in the stage of reclamation. The Nu-Way Live Oak Reclamation Operations Plan is currently active and expected to be completed in approximately 2026. Upon completion of reclamation, the property will be graded to match the adjacent grade. The final reclaimed and rough graded site, consistent with the previous General Plan designation, serves as the baseline for the Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan.

The proposed change in land use designation from Regional Commercial to Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan is intended to encourage the highest and best use for the subject property to guide the development of a former landfill and sand and gravel quarry into a productive site based on its unique characteristics and will be in the best interests and welfare of the City and its residents. Therefore, the proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with Section California Government Code Section 65358(a) (Amendments), “If it deems it to be in the public interest, the legislative body may amend all or part of an adopted general plan.”
b. The proposed General Plan Amendment is internally consistent with all other provisions of the General Plan. The Community Development Element of the General Plan promotes several policies that support the adoption of the Specific Plan and associated entitlements. Community Development Element Policy 1 strives to preserve the overall mix of land uses and development in the community. Community Development Element Policy 3 seeks to ensure that the type, location, and intensity of all new development and intensified developments adhere to the requirements specified in its particular land use category. Community Development Element Policy 5 promotes the comprehensive development consistent with the General Plan as opposed to piecemeal and incremental planning. If adopted, the proposed General Plan Amendment would implement the proposed Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan, which implements policies set forth in the General Plan, to provide direction for the long-term development of the Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan, addresses sustainable practices, and promotes compatibility with surrounding areas.
c. The proposed General Plan Amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The purpose of the proposed General Plan Amendment is to implement the Specific Plan, which provides a comprehensive framework for the long-term development of the Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan and provides clarity in processes and in the coordination between the Applicant and the City of Irwindale. If adopted, the proposed Specific Plan would define permitted uses, regulate the sizes and locations of buildings, specify design guidelines and

Resolution No. 2025-02-3590
GPA No. 02-2022

development standards, address mobility and connectivity issues, identify project infrastructure and services, and provide administrative and implementation language for the entire 66.64-acre property. d. The affected properties are physically suitable in terms of design, location, operating characteristics, shape, size, topography, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access, and public services and utilities and is served by highways and streets adequate in width and improvement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the proposed use would likely generate, to ensure that the proposed use(s) and/or development will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the property is located. Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan and adjacent environs were studied for physical suitability as part of the preparation for the Specific Plan and associated Final Environmental Impact Report.

3. Pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the City of Irwindale environmental guidelines, the City Council finds that the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for The Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan (State Clearinghouse (SCH) No. 2023020290), including the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations adequately describes the Project and its potential impacts, as well as the impacts potentially resulting from the approval of the Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan for the purposes of CEQA review, and the proposed General Plan Amendment No. 02-2022 is consistent with the analysis of the Project within the Final Environmental Impact Report, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, Findings of Fact, and Statement of Overriding Considerations.

4. Based upon the substantial evidence and conclusions set forth herein above and upon other oral evidence presented at the public hearing, and subject to the City Council considering and adopting the FEIR, certified by the City of Irwindale as the Lead Agency, this City Council hereby recommends that the City Council adopt General Plan Amendment No. 02-2022, which amends the Community Development Element and Land Use Plan Map (attached Exhibit “A”) from Regional Commercial to Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the City Council and to the Applicant.

The Secretary shall:
a. Certify to the adoption of this Resolution; and
b. Forthwith transmit a certified copy of this Resolution, by mail, to the Applicant at the address of record set forth in the Application.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. The Recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the public hearing, including written staff reports and verbal testimony, all of which shall constitute the entire record of this matter, the City Council hereby finds and determines:
a. The Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan is consistent with the Irwindale General Plan, as amended through General Plan Amendment No. 02-2022. The Property was previously contemplated in the City’s General Plan as a landfill in the stage of reclamation. The Nu-Way Live Oak Reclamation Operations Plan is currently active and expected to be completed in approximately 2026. Upon completion of reclamation, the property will be graded to match the adjacent grade.

The final reclaimed and rough graded site, consistent with the previous General Plan designation, serves as the baseline for the Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan.

General Plan Amendment No. 02-2022 processed concurrently designates the site as the Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan. The Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan is intended to encourage the highest and best use for the subject property to guide the development of a former landfill and sand and gravel quarry into a productive site based on its unique characteristics and will be in the best interests and welfare of the City and its residents. The Specific Plan is therefore consistent with the City’s General Plan Land Use Designations and the Zoning Designation, as amended.

Furthermore, the Community Development Element of the General Plan promotes several policies that support the adoption of the Specific Plan and associated entitlements. Community Development Element Policy 1 strives to preserve the overall mix of land uses and development in the community. Community Development Element Policy 3 seeks to ensure that the type, location, and intensity of all new development and intensified developments adhere to the requirements specified in its particular land use category. Community Development Element Policy 5 promotes the comprehensive development consistent with the General Plan as opposed to piecemeal and incremental planning. The Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan implements policies set forth in the General Plan, to provide direction for the development of the business park over several years, addresses sustainable practices on and off-site, promotes

Ordinance No. 787
ZOA No. 02-2023

compatibility with surrounding areas, and provides a unique and flexible policy document that facilitates orderly development of the site. b. Based on the above findings, the Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan and the City Council’s adoption thereof complies with Government Code Section 65450 et seq.

SECTION 3. Based upon the substantial evidence and testimony received at the public hearing and the findings and conclusions set forth hereinabove, the City Council hereby accepts the recommendation of the Planning Commission and hereby adopts the Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan, on file with the Community Development Department and as presented to the City Council at the time of the adoption of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4. Pursuant to the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, and the City of Irwindale environmental guidelines, the City Council finds that the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for The Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan (State Clearinghouse (SCH) No. 2023020290), including the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations adequately describes the Project and its potential impacts, as well as the impacts potentially resulting from the approval of the Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan for the purposes of CEQA review, and it is consistent with the analysis of the Project within the City Council certified Final Environmental Impact Report, adopted Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, adopted Findings of Fact, and adopted Statement of Overriding Considerations.

SECTION 5.If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is, for any reason, held to be unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction , such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof.

reports, verbal testimony, and evidence in the City’s record for the project, this City Council hereby specifically finds as follows:
a. The proposed Zone Change from M-2 [Heavy Manufacturing) to Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan is intended to encourage the highest and best use for the subject property and is in the best interests and welfare of the City and its residents.
b. The proposed Zone Change is internally consistent with all other provisions of the General Plan. The Community Development Element of the General Plan promotes several policies that support the adoption of the SP and associated entitlements. Community Development Element Policy 1 strives to preserve the overall mix of land uses and development in the community. Community
Development Element Policy 3 seeks to ensure that the type, location, and intensity of all new development and intensified developments adhere to the requirements specified in its particular land use category. Community Development Element Policy 5 promotes the comprehensive development consistent with the General Plan as opposed to piecemeal and incremental planning. If adopted, the proposed Zone Change would implement the proposed Irwindale Gateway Specific Plan, which implements policies set forth in the General Plan, to provide direction for the development of the business park over several years, addresses sustainable practices on and off-site, promotes compatibility with surrounding areas, and provides a unique and flexible policy document that facilitates orderly development of the site.

The purpose of the proposed Zone Change is to implement the Specific Plan, which provides a comprehensive framework for the long-term growth and development of the entire business park, provides clarity in processes and in the coordination between the applicant, developers, and City. If adopted, the proposed Specific Plan would define permitted uses, regulate the sizes and locations of buildings, specify design guidelines and development standards, address mobility and connectivity issues, identify project infrastructure and services, and provide administrative and implementation language for the entire 66.64-acre property.

The Specific Plan proposes an industrial business park to include development. The design and improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with development standards established in the Specific Plan document with respect to land use, building height, parking, and landscaping.
c. The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed.

The 66.64-acre site is suitable for the proposed Specific Plan industrial business park development, which provides for a maximum of 997,796 feet of building space, with private driveways and drive aisles, landscaping, and parking areas.

SUMMARY MEMORANDUM
December 30, 2022
To: Jeff Dritley and Steven Hillgren, Kearny Real Estate Company Sam Holing, Aypa Power
From: Kuda Wekwete, Jerry Wen, and Jeffrey Wright, DTA
Subject: Fiscal Impacts Resulting from the Proposed Irwindale Gateway Project Enclosed for your review is an Executive Summary of a Fiscal Impact Analysis (“FIA”) evaluating the Irwindale Gateway project (the “Project”) being proposed by Kearny Real Estate Company and Aypa Power (together, the “Project Proponent”) in the City of Irwindale (the “City”) located in Los Angeles County (the “County”). The intent of this memorandum (“memo”) is for DTA to provide a brief summary of the projected fiscal impacts to the City’s General Fund that would result from the development of the Project. The specific purpose of this analysis is to determine whether the Project will fully pay for all of the services that it will be receiving from the City.

A Description of the Project Site and Project Use
As depicted in Figure 1 below, the Project site encompasses approximately 50 acres of a gravel quarry mined to 180 feet below grade and filled with inert materials. It is located immediately south of Arrow Freeway, east of Freeway 605, north of Live Oak Avenue, and west of Live Oak Lane. The proposed redevelopment would rehabilitate the site and make it suitable for light industrial uses. As illustrated in the conceptual site plans below, the Project is proposed to consist of a 400-megawatt (“MW”) battery energy storage system (“BESS”) and two light industrial buildings with 750,510 square feet of warehousing space for local and regional distribution.

Figure 1: Project Site and Conceptual Site Plan

B Analytic Methodology and Assumptions
Notably, only recurring revenues and costs are analyzed in the model. Costs that are considered non-recurring, such as capital expenditures, are excluded from the analysis.

This is because new development is generally required to construct its own new capital improvements, such as roads or parks, or pay Development Impact Fees (“DIFs”) that enable the City or some other developer to construct these improvements. As these are considered to be “one-time” costs that will not recur, there is no expectation that new development will need to pay for these capital expenditures a second time. Likewise, revenues that are considered to be non-recurring, such as DIFs paid by developers, are also excluded from the model. In sum, the model reflects the estimated recurring annual deficit or surplus to the City’s General Fund that will result from the development of the Project.

3 Kearny Real Estate Company December 30, 2022
Fiscal Impacts Resulting from the Proposed Irwindale Gateway Project DTA chooses its analytical assumptions in accordance with industry standards and documents those decisions carefully. The list provided below explains how some of these assumptions were derived.

Discounting Revenues: Certain revenues are not expected to increase one-to-one with new development. Thus, 20%, 25%, and 75% discount rates have been applied to various General Fund revenues to reflect the estimated ratio of fixed revenues (not impacted by future development) to variable revenues. In addition, DTA conservatively applies a 100% discount on the intergovernmental revenues received by the City given that the allotment of such revenues generally involves complex socioeconomic and demographic factors that are difficult to forecast.

Discounting Expenses: Certain service costs are not expected to increase one-to-one with new development. Thus, 50%, 75%, and 95% discount rates have been applied to various General Fund expenditures to reflect the estimated ratio of fixed expenditures (not impacted by future development) to variable expenditures.

Square Feet per Employee (“SF/E”): DTA utilizes an approximation of 1,650 SF/E based on the standard estimate for warehouse use by Beacon Economics LLC of the UC Riverside Center for Economic Forecasting.

Tax Sharing (Secured Property Taxes): Property tax revenue estimates were derived using apportionment factors provided by the County Auditor-Controller as applied to the general 1% ad valorem property tax levy. Total secured property tax revenues received by the City from the proposed Project will equal approximately 9.77% of the basic 1% [Proposition (“Prop”) 13], net of the projected Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (“ERAF”) property tax shifts.

Property Tax In Lieu of Vehicle License Fees (“VLFs”): Per California Revenue and Taxation Code §97.70, the property tax in lieu of VLF amount now increases in proportion to the growth rate of the Citywide gross assessed valuation of taxable property from the prior fiscal year. Property taxes in lieu of VLF revenues constitute an addition to other property tax apportionments and were calculated for the purposes of this FIA at $0.06 per $1,000 increase in assessed valuation on a Citywide basis.

For additional details regarding the specific assumptions and methodology utilized to calculate the fiscal impacts for the Project, please refer to Attachment 1.

C City General Fund --- Net Fiscal Impact Summary
As listed in Table 1, the overall net fiscal impact to the City's General Fund resulting from the revenues anticipated to be generated by the Project's build-out, as compared with the cost of public services associated with the Project's build-out, will be an annual recurring fiscal surplus of $1,084,871. Annual recurring revenues generated by the Project are forecasted to equal approximately 5.51 times the General Fund costs associated with the Project.

4 Kearny Real Estate Company December 30, 2022
Fiscal Impacts Resulting from the Proposed Irwindale Gateway Project Table 1: General Fund Net Fiscal Impact Summary

As reflected in Figure 2, the largest projected City General Fund revenue sources attributable to the Project at build-out are property taxes (including property tax in lieu of VLFs) (79.1%) and utilities users’ tax (12.4%). Conversely, the largest projected City General Fund expenditures will be for the police (44.5%) and general government (20.4%), as depicted in Figure 3.

D Possibility of Point-of-Sale Fulfillment Centers (‘‘POS FCs’’) on the Project Site POS FCs can be a major generator of sales tax revenues for the municipality in which they are located. There has been considerable discussion surrounding the issue of sales tax collection from online retailers associated with fulfillment centers. A fulfillment center is a physical location from which a logistics provider, who may be a third party, directly fulfills customer orders for e-commerce retailers. These centers exist to distribute online orders directly to retail customers in a timely fashion and generate revenues that are considered POS revenues. California law, culminating with the 2019 Marketplace Facilitators Act, allows operators of fulfillment centers such as Amazon to designate a POS that permits them to direct 100% of their share of sales tax revenues for “taxable sales” to a pre-determined city in which they have a physical presence. However, not all retail sales are considered taxable within California. For example, there is no sales tax paid in California on purchases from fulfillment centers made by residents or businesses located outside of the State, nor are there sales taxes imposed for groceries or pharmaceutical drugs sold inside or outside of the State. In addition, some retailers may request that they retain a share of sales taxes from a local municipality in return for locating their fulfillment centers in a specific community.

6 Kearny Real Estate Company December 30, 2022
Fiscal Impacts Resulting from the Proposed Irwindale Gateway Project Based on studies performed by Prologis Research, distribution facilities used as fulfillment centers by e-commerce retailers support annual sales of up to $1,000 per building square foot. Given that e-commerce retail sales in the United States grew by 102% from 2014 to 2019, even prior to the COVID pandemic, the demand for fulfillment center space has been increasing exponentially. Surveys performed by Coldwell Banker Real Estate and Prologis Research prior to COVID indicated that 30% to 40% of the users of new warehouse space were specifically looking for space for fulfillment center(s).

However, as explained above, the total taxable sales generated by any given fulfillment center is difficult to gauge as each is heavily dependent on the specific tenant and the volume and prices of the taxable goods shipped from that location to California residents or business. For illustrative purposes only, assuming 100% of the warehouse space (750,510 square feet) on the Project site are occupied by marketplace facilitator(s), such as Amazon, QVC, Uline, Staples, etc., and that one-half of the potential sales ($500 per square foot) would ultimately generate sales taxes, the Project would annually generate a significant amount of direct sales taxes ($6.57 million). DTA conservatively assumes that 30% of those sales taxes ($1.97 million) will be apportioned to the City based on a recent Sales Tax Apportionment Agreement entered between the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration and Amazon FC, which owns or leases fulfillment centers located throughout much of the State.

Notably, given that the Project proponent is pursuing the proposed industrial building(s) on a speculative basis and the future occupant(s) of the Project are unknown at this time, the Project proponent cannot promise a POS FC on the Project site.

Item #22.B.

Date: January 8, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Approval of Proposed Use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Allocation for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2026 along with reallocation of FY 2024-2025 Project Funding previously deferred on October 9, 2024.

City Manager's Recommendation:

That the City Council conduct a public hearing to receive public comments on the proposed use of the CDBG allocations for FY 2025-26 along with reallocation of FY 2024-2025 project funding previously deferred on October 9, 2024. The combined amounts will provide more funding for the sidewalk and access ramp project scheduled to be completed in FY 2025-26. Following the conclusion of the public hearing, Staff recommend that the City Council:

Adopt Resolution No. 2025-06-3594, entitled: “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IRWINDALE APPROVING THE PROPOSED USE OF THE CITY’S FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 LOS ANGELES

URBAN COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ALLOCATION AND REALLOCATE FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 FUNDING AS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED,” reading by title only and waving further reading thereof:

Administrative Action:

Submitted by:

Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Prepared by:

Claudia Carlos, Finance Analyst Electronically Approved Reviewed by:

Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Approved by:

Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:

1. The CDBG Program is funded directly by the federal government’s Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), whose objectives include the development of suitable living environments. The amount of the CDBG grant to each participating city is based upon population. Consequently, the City of Irwindale’s annual CDBG allocation is considerably low and can only be used for very small projects. For FY 2025-2026, the City’s CDBG grant allocation will be approximately $6,800. The CDBG allocation from FY 2024-2025 is $8,243. Using the combined funds ($15,043) will allow for a larger sidewalk and access ramp project to be completed in FY 2025-2026.

1. Public Works is proposing to use the CDBG grant for sidewalk and access ramp improvements to comply with American Disability Act (ADA) requirements. These improvements will provide adequate access to disabled persons, including those dependent upon wheelchair transportation, consistent with the American Disabilities Act.

Fiscal Impact:

The use of CDBG funds, and the approval of Resolution No. 2025-06-3594 will serve to formally approve the use of CDBG allocations for this program. FY 2025-26 allocation of $6,800 will be combined with the amount carried forward from prior FY 2024-25 in the amount of $8,243. The combined total of $15,043, will be appropriated as part of the FY 2025-26 annual budget process. This will eliminate the need to use general fund monies for these required public improvements.
