Agenda packet — Laguna Hills City Council, March 22, 2022 (part 6 of 7)

of the RFP process in August 2010. In accordance with City Council Policy No. 105, the City must use a competitive public Request for Proposal on a ten-year timeframe in the selection of a banking service provider. Given the challenges created by the lockdowns from the COVID-19 pandemic and in the interest of maintaining operational stability, the 10-year RFP process was deferred and the banking contract with Union Bank was extended. The current contract for depository services with Union Bank will expire April 1, 2022.

In late December 2021, Staff released an RFP to qualified institutions for the provision of depository and other various banking services. The intent of the competitive selection process is to provide all qualified commercial banks with an equal opportunity to submit a proposal to handle the City primary deposit accounts. This RFP process provides the means to obtain quality services at a competitive price. The RFP encouraged proposing financial institutions to submit the most comprehensive proposal possible, offering the highest level of quality services while providing opportunities for improving the current management of cash flow.

To be considered for selection, the proposing financial institution must have met all of the following qualifications:

1. Be a Federal or State of California chartered financial institution.

2. Be a member of the Federal Reserve System and have access to all services.

3. Be a qualified State depository of public funds under the governing federal and State laws and insurance of funds with FDIC/SAIF.

4. Be a full-service bank in good standing among other comparable banks.

5. Be sufficiently capitalized to accommodate the City’s cash management needs.

6. Be able to perform its obligations under this proposal in compliance with all applicable federal and State laws, regulations, statutes, and policies, as well as compliance with the City’s own investment policy.

7. Be in compliance and good standing with the Community Reinvestment Act.

8. Have a home office or branch facilities located within, or reasonably close, to City limits.

9. Be able to assign experienced and dedicated staff committed and capable of providing services to a public agency.

10. Have the capacity to collateralize its public funds deposits as stipulated under State law.

The selection of a bank is based on the bank’s qualifications as presented in their proposal, overall pricing and costs, experience and success in providing services to similar clients, and ability to provide the services outlined in the RFP.

Three (3) banks submitted a proposal to the City: (1) Union Bank, (2) U.S. Bank, and (3) Bank of the West.

Their proposals were evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria described below:
• Financial strength and ability to protect and collateralize City deposits • Overall best value and ability to guarantee pricing for the contract period • Overall experience and dedication to the government market • Qualifications, strength and reliability of the relationship management team • Ability to meet minimum required service levels and bank products • Ability to offer product and service enhancements
• Ability to support products and provide training on-site • Location of bank offices
Determination of best value to the City was based upon, but not limited to, the following considerations:
• Cost
• The ability, capacity, and skill of the proposer to provide the services • The ability of the provider to deliver timely services • The character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency of the provider
• The quality of the provider’s performance on previous contracts with the City and

other government references
Each proposing bank was asked to meet with Staff to clarify their submitted bid sheet and scope of proposed services in more depth. After a review of the three submitted proposals and meeting with each of the three banks, Staff determined that all three banks demonstrated the ability to meet the requirements as established in the RFP, maintain the City’s current level of service, as well as the ability to provide potential improvements to the current management of cash. Nevertheless, Bank of the West was able to offer the best overall pricing while delivering the same quality of service.

Hence, after considerable evaluation of all the information and material presented, Staff is recommending that the City establish its banking relations with Bank of the West on the basis of overall pricing and best value with extensive government banking experience, as well as its financial condition and ability to protect and collateralize the City’s deposits.

Overall Pricing and Best Value
Based on a comparative analysis of the proposed cost estimates to maintain the City’s existing service level submitted by each bank, Bank of the West’s net estimated monthly charge for services was significantly less than the estimates of the other two banks. The following table provides the estimated service charge from each bank’s proposed fee schedule, utilizing the City’s banking activity for the month of November 2021 as a model.

Monthly
Service Fee
Union Bank $ 1,310.77
Bank of the West $ 875.31
U.S. Bank $ 1,125.63
Additionally, Bank of the West is offering the City an attractive Earning Credit Rate (ECR) at 35 BPS, which is higher than the average effective yield of 21 BPS reported by the State’s Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) in its Quarterly Performance Report for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, where the City’s short-term excess cash is primarily invested. The cost of banking services is offset by applying the ECR to the City’s collected balances in non-interest bearing, business checking accounts. These balances result in an earnings credit that is used to offset all or a portion of the City’s monthly fees.

Bank of the West will also provide the City with a generously discounted Deposit Administration Fee, when compared with the rates and fees from the other two banks.

The Deposit Administration Fee is a bank fee associated with the assessment charges and other charges provided by law, which include administrative expenses incurred by the bank in providing depository services, such as FDIC fees, based on the City’s collected balances.

The table below provides a comparison of the net allowance, using the City’s actual bank balances from November 2021.

U.S. Bank 0.20% $ 258.33 $ 205.76 $ 52.57
Furthermore, Bank of the West is also offering an “implementation incentive” in the form of a waiver of banking service fees for the first three months up to an amount of $9,400, to assist with offsetting fees incurred due to the transition process. U.S. Bank offered a transition credit of $7,500, plus a “new service assistance” credit of $3,500 to implement new services. Union Bank offered the City a “loyalty credit” of $10,000 to offset fees, which would expire after twelve months.

The terms of the contract stipulated in the RFP requires fixed pricing for the first five (5) years of the contract.

Experience in Government Banking
Bank of the West has been servicing the public sector since its establishment in 1874, with experience working with states, counties, cities, and special districts. Their government banking services were determined to be on par with those provided by the other two proposing banks.

In 2008, Bank of the West established a Government Banking Division, which includes a core team of ten bankers that specialize in providing the unique banking needs of municipalities and local government. Bank of the West also has over twenty bankers across various bank departments, including, but not limited to, public finance, customer service, implementation, product management, treasury management fixed income, merchant services, commercial card and operations.

In addition, the City will be provided with a local, dedicated Government Customer Service Specialist team that can handle all of the City’s day-to-day banking services inquiries. This customer service team’s specific focus on governmental agencies should ensure the City receives the same level of service it has become accustomed to with its current banking relationship.

On an as-needed basis, the closest branch to the City to conduct walk-in branch deposits, in the rare occasion that the need arises, is located at 26941 Crown Valley Parkway, in Mission Viejo. The main City deposit activity is completed through virtual remote deposit or via armored transport services.

Financial Condition
Bank of the West is chartered in the State of California and is insured by the FDIC. The bank also has a full relationship with the Federal Reserve and is managed through the National Account Program with access to their full suite of services. It is one of the largest banks headquartered in California and the 31st largest commercial bank in the United States by assets.

In addition, Bank of the West is a designated State Depository Bank for the State of California and maintains a direct banking relationship with the State Treasurer’s Office and the State Controller’s Office. As of December 31, 2021, Bank of the West has over $8.4 billion in public fund deposits and over 3,300 accounts that are collateralized in accordance with the State’s Government Code and other applicable laws.

Bank of the West has also demonstrated financial strength and strong credit rates. A copy of Bank of the West’s 2021 Annual Profile Report is included as Attachment B to the Staff Report. Also, provided below is a snapshot of the credit ratings for both the bank and its holding company, as well as its capital ratios.

Furthermore, as recently announced, BNP Paribas, Bank of the West’s parent company, has reached an agreement for Bank of the West to combine with BMO Financial Group, which is the eighth largest bank in North America and has an established presence in the U.S. The completion of this transaction is expected in late 2022.

The proposed agreement for banking services with Bank of the West, the “Contract for Deposit of Public Funds”, a standardized agreement, along with other related banking forms are available in the City Clerk’s department for inspection.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Given the discounted banking fees and ECR allowance offered by Bank of the West, a substantial net cost savings is anticipated when compared with the City’s current contract with Union Bank. Staff estimates roughly a 50% reduction in net banking fees.

2021 RESULTS
Bank of the West achieved full year 2021 earnings of $974.5 million. It was a record high result, up 64.2% vs. prior year primarily driven by higher net banking income, flat expenses and significantly lower cost of risk.

Net banking income grew 2.5% compared to prior year with strong syndication income, securities gain on sale and improved transactional fees, while net interest income was lower with better cost of funds offset by lower loan volume and lower net interest margin. Operating expenses remained flat to prior year reflecting solid expense control.

Total average customer deposits rose 10.5% from prior year, continuing the growth since 2020 due to strong customer liquidity, while the loan portfolio decreased by 6.9% vs. prior year due to lower line usage and faster prepayments for most of the year.

Efficiency ratio improved to 61.4% for 2021, better by 146bps compared to prior year. RONE increased to 17.02%, up 676bps compared to prior year with strong earning and lower RWA, while capital ratios remain strong (Tier 1 Capital Ratio 14.18% or 45bps favorable to prior year).

DATE: March 22, 2022
TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Larry Longenecker
Community Development Director
ISSUE: 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve and direct Staff to forward the 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report and Housing Element Annual Progress Report-Housing Implementation to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

SUMMARY:

State law requires each city to submit an annual progress report to the State describing steps it took to implement its General Plan during the previous calendar year. In addition to documenting the City’s general progress for the State, the annual report provides the City Council with a snapshot of how the City has implemented the General Plan and assists the State in understanding how each jurisdiction is progressing toward meeting its assigned regional housing needs.

Attached is the City’s 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report (APR), which provides the status of the City’s General Plan implementation efforts and the purpose of each General Plan Element (i.e. Land Use, Mobility, Conservation and Open Space, Community Services and Facilities, Safety, Noise, and Housing). The activities described in the APR depict the major accomplishments during 2021, and do not reflect every aspect of an adopted goal or policy which may be more routine in nature.

BACKGROUND:

The City’s General Plan was updated in 2009 and includes an Updated Housing Element,

4.9 Packet Pg. 612
2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report
March 22, 2022

Page 2 ends

for the planning period covering 2013-2021. Government Code Section 65400 requires that all cities and counties submit to their legislative bodies an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress made in its implementation. Senate Bill No. 375 (adopted in 2008) requires that the Annual Progress Report (APR) include a section describing the actions taken by the local government to complete the programs and meet the deadlines specified in the Housing Element. SB 375 builds on the existing framework of regional planning to tie together the regional allocation of housing needs and regional transportation planning in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Previously, there were no consequences if a local government failed to prepare an APR.

However, with the enactment of SB 375, failure to comply with the reporting requirements can now lead to court injunctions and sanctions. The APR must be submitted to HCD and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research by April 1st of each year. Further, the enactment of SB 35 by the State in 2017 could lead to negative consequences for the City if an APR is not filed. Generally, failure by the City to file an APR could require the City to approve any proposed housing development if it meets State-mandated affordable housing requirements.

The State of California has created a standardized format that each city is expected to use in preparing the APR on the status of the Housing Element and the City’s progress in implementing its goals and programs. These forms are included in the attached City’s APR. Following the City Council’s review of the 2021 APR, Staff will forward the APR to the State of California by the deadline established in law.

CEQA FINDINGS:

A General Plan Annual Report is not considered a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Government Code Section 65400 mandates that all cities and counties submit to their legislative bodies an annual report on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation; otherwise referred to as the “Annual Progress Report.” The Annual Progress Report is intended as a tool for informing local legislative bodies of the jurisdiction’s effectiveness in implementing its General Plan. A copy of the Annual Progress Report must also be sent to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

The purpose and intent of this statute is to ensure that the General Plan directs all land use decisions and remains an effective guide for the long‐term physical development of a community. The Annual Progress Report is a tool for doing this. The Annual Progress Report provides a correlation between land use decisions that have been made during the 12‐month reporting period and the goals, policies and implementation programs of the adopted General Plan.

Providing a copy of the Annual Progress Report to OPR provides information that allows OPR to monitor local planning activities and to identify trends in land use planning and decision‐making throughout the State of California. The information is necessary for OPR to serve in its capacity as the statewide planning agency. It can also provide the State with information to identify necessary modifications and improvements to its General Plan Guidelines, while serving to apprise state government of local planning activities and facilitating the legislative process as it pertains to land use and local planning issues.

Providing a copy of this report to HCD fulfills a statutory requirement to report certain housing information, including the local agency’s progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing (as defined in Government Code Sections 65584 and 65583(c)(3)).

The focus of the Annual Progress Report should be on implementation of the General Plan’s goals, policies and implementation measures. It can provide information to identify necessary “course adjustments” or modifications to the General Plan and means to improve local implementation. Since there is no specific form provided by OPR, the Annual Progress Report can vary in format and approach from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

General Plan Background
After an extensive two‐year process, the City adopted a Comprehensive Update to the General Plan in July 2009. This was the first comprehensive revision of the General Plan since the City’s first general Plan was adopted in 1994. The General Plan is based on extensive research and analysis of existing conditions, changing local and regional conditions, evolving trends in urban planning and a collaborative partnership with community members through an extensive public participation process.

4.9.a
Packet Pg. 616 Attachment: Attachment A - 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report (2778 : 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report) 4 The Laguna Hills General Plan is organized into ten sections. The sections include an introduction, seven General Plan elements, a general Plan Implementation Program, description of related plans and programs, and a glossary of terms used throughout the General Plan.

The following seven Laguna Hills General Plan elements encompass all of the elements required by California General Plan law: Land Use, Mobility, Conservation and Open Space, Community Services and Facilities, Safety, Noise, and Housing. The Laguna Hills General Plan combines the mandatory Open Space and Conservation Elements required by State law, and includes a separate, optional element on Community Services and Facilities.

The seven elements are generally organized in a similar format. Each element contains an Introduction, Background, and Plan section. The “Introduction” indicates the purpose of each element and how it will help Laguna Hills achieve its vision for the community as articulated through the eight Guiding Themes. The “Background” provides the reader with the existing conditions and/or the environmental setting particular to that element topic. The “Plan” section is composed of three sections: issues, goals and policies, and approach. The issues section describes issues and concerns expressed by the community, City staff, and the City Council. The goals and policies section sets both broad and specific direction for the future of the City based on the identified issues and concerns. The approach section provides a general description and summary of the City’s course of action to achieve the goals and policies.

The Laguna Hills General Plan also contains the following appendices, which are integral parts of the General Plan: 1) Implementation Program ‐ The Implementation Program follows the elements and identifies the specific actions that will achieve the goals, policies, and plans identified in each element; 2) Related Plans and Programs ‐ This section identifies plans and programs related to the General Plan and applicable to future activities and land use decisions within Laguna Hills; 3) Glossary ‐ This section provides definitions for technical terms used throughout the General Plan.

In 2021, the City reviewed numerous projects through the development review process and participated in numerous planning efforts. The following summaries provide a general overview of the projects, programs, and permits that were reviewed. These summaries are general and are not intended to be exhaustive.

Planning Activity
Noteworthy Projects
• The Village at Laguna Hills (formerly Five Lagunas)
• After beginning various construction and development activities in 2017, Merlone‐Geier Partners (MGP), the owner of the former Laguna Hills Mall, had announced in 2018 that it was taking a strategic pause in the redevelopment of the Mall. This action by MGP was prompted by the 2018 closures of Macy’s and JC Penney, and all of the businesses in the Mall’s interior. MGP submitted a new project plan in November, 2019, and the City is currently processing this application, with public hearings anticipated to conclude in early‐ 2022.
• Redevelopment of Former Automobile Dealership (24888 Alicia Parkway) • The Planning Agency approved permits for two new drive‐thru restaurants on a portion of the property, completing the full development of the site. The approved project includes the construction of a new 2,175 square‐foot building with a drive‐thru for Starbucks and a new 2,503 square‐foot building with a drive‐thru for Plant Power. Previously, the Planning Agency approved the ActivCare Assisted Living Facility, which opened in 2021, and a Taco Bell, which is currently under construction.

Current Planning
• The Community Development Department approved several Site Development Permits in 2021, including ones for a new local museum, medical offices, and group fitness/martial arts studios. • The Community Development Department approved multiple Temporary Use Permits in 2021, including Emergency Temporary Use Permits to allow for outdoor dining opportunities in response to the COVID‐19 Pandemic.

Advanced Planning
• The Community Development Department commenced the next update to the Housing and Safety Elements of the General Plan. The Housing Element Update process included both virtual and in‐person outreach workshops in 2021, and is anticipated to conclude in mid‐2022.

Packet Pg. 618 Attachment: Attachment A - 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report (2778 : 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report) 6 New Businesses
• In an effort to promote a business‐friendly environment, the City has emphasized providing resources and support for the local business community and to businesses looking to locate in the City. Consequently, the Community Development Department has met with several commercial property owners and has maintained a regular dialogue regarding issues that impact parking, leasing, uses, and signage. In addition, staff has assisted several owners in evaluating conceptual plans for remodeling activities.

With the support of the Community Development Department, several businesses have been able to locate in the City. The Department issued nearly 50 Certificates of Use and Occupancy for new businesses. By providing assistance to businesses regarding best practices in obtaining zoning permits necessary to begin tenant renovations, staff has contributed to processes that support businesses.

Building Permit Activity
 In 2021, the Building Division issued approximately 1,372 building permits. General remodeling activity in residential (355 permits) and commercial (47 permits) properties continues to drive building activity in the City. For building inspection, the City provided approximately 3,260 inspections.

Code Compliance Activity
 In 2021, the City’s Code Compliance services continued to obtain voluntary compliance from residents and businesses through frequent engagement, maintaining a consistent presence in commercial areas prone to violations, and the implementation of code enforcement processes that resolve potential violations before the need for formal prosecution. Complaints concerning potential violations on residential properties generated over 385 calls for service, while complaints regarding commercial properties resulted in over 100 calls for service. In a few instances, cases had to be referred to the City Attorney’s office for additional assistance.

General Plan Implementation Status
The tables below analyze selected General Plan programs and policies that made notable progress in 2021. These are not a comprehensive list of all programs, policies, and action items in the General Plan; many are under ongoing implementation, and may not be listed here. As the majority of the General Plan policies and related items have been implemented through the adoption of ordinances or resolutions, incorporated into the regular governmental activities of the respective departments, or included in development proposals as they are reviewed for consistency with the City’s policies, the purpose of providing the implementation statuses below is simply to highlight annual progress. A comprehensive list of all General Plan policies and action items with status and/or implementation can be viewed in the General Plan and prior General Plan Annual Progress Reports.

Land Use Element
The Land Use Element is the foundation of the General Plan and serves as a compass that guides citizens, planners, and decision makers on the desired pattern of growth, development, and change in Laguna Hills. This Element describes both existing and future land use activities and unifies the other elements of the General Plan by providing an overall policy context. The Land Use Element deals with the central issues of development and growth, and the quality of the community, and helps define the desired balance among the social, environmental, and economic costs and benefits associated with growth.

The Land Use Element identifies the distribution, location, and intensity of all land use types throughout the City. Text, maps, and diagrams establish the direction for land uses within the City and describe how these uses are integrated with other General Plan Elements and policies.

As a built‐out community with no remaining residential or commercial vacant land, new development opportunities are focused on larger existing developed parcels that are considered underutilized and/or can be reasonably intensified by incorporating parking structures within parking lot areas. The Laguna Hills Mall and the Oakbrook Village Shopping Center are both examples of these new development opportunities and are zoned for a range of mixed land uses, including residential uses.

The General Plan focuses on those sites within the community that have redevelopment potential.

Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation H-1. Code Enforcement
Program
Enforce building code regulations and
abate code violations, nuisances, and
existing uses, activities, buildings, or
structures that pose a threat to public
health, safety, or welfare. Enforcement
activities will focus on property
maintenance, such as eliminating
derelict or abandoned vehicles,
outdoor storage, or other situations
that may constitute health, safety, or
fire hazards.

Ongoing
With the goal of voluntary compliance, the City's Code Enforcement staff continues to monitor and address complaints related to property maintenance.

Staff investigated hundreds of complaints associated with housing or property maintenance and took appropritate steps to work with the property owner to resolve code violations, or referred unresponsive owners to the City Attorney's office for prosecution.

H-2. State Franchise Tax
Board Code Enforcement
To promote maintenance of existing
rental properties, the City shall work
with the California State Franchise Tax
Board to enforce provisions of
California Revenue and Taxation code
Sections 17274 and 24436.5, which
prohibit owners of substandard rental
housing from claiming depreciation,
amortization, mortgage interest, and
property tax deductions of state income
tax. The City will notify the State
Franchise Tax Board if substandard
rental housing is identified
Ongoing The City is not aware of any substandard housing within the community. If such housing is identified, the City will notify the State Franchise Tax Board.

H-3. Housing
Rehabilitation
The City will continue to work with the
Orange County Housing and
Community Services Department to
receive rehabilitation loans and grants
for low and moderate income
homeowners and rental property
owners, including senior/disabled
households, to maintain housing stock.

Efforts will focus on rehabilitating
approximately 148 units in the Aliso
Meadows Condominium Development.

The rehabilitation loan and grant
program will use CDBG funds
distributed by the County as
appropriate. The City will publicize the
availability of this program in local
newspapers, on the City’s website, at
the Community Development
Department, and in information items at
Planning Agency Public Hearings
Annually by September of
each year or as otherwise
required by the County
CDBG schedule
Due to staffing/resource limitations, the City did not participate in the CDBG program in FY 20/21. However, the City intends to apply to the County for CDBG funds to use in FY 22/23.

H-4. At-Risk Units
The City will continue to pursue the
extension of affordability controls for
51 units, either in the existing Rancho
Moulton housing development or as
part of new or redevelopment activities
in the Via Lomas area or other areas of
the City. . The City will annually prepare
a “Risk Assessment” report provided
by the California Housing Partnership
Corporation (CHPC). Projects
determined high risk are those most
likely to decline continued federal
assistance because they currently have
rents below market rate(s) and are
owned by profit-motivated entities. The
City will work with potential purchasers
to preserve 51 units in the existing
development or in new development by
finding an interested nonprofit entity
and securing funding to acquire and
preserve the property. The City will use
HCD resources listed on the HCD
website, as well as other resources, to
locate potential funding sources as
needed for the preservation of
affordable housing. As needed, the City
will work with tenants of at-risk units
and provide them with education
regarding tenant rights, notification
procedures, and conversion
procedures. The City will also provide
tenants in at-risk projects information
By January of each year.

In 2021, the city continued to monitor existing at-risk units in the City, and continued to refer prospective tenants to the County of Orange regarding Section 8 housing. In 2021, Rancho Moulton continued to participate in the County's Section 8 rental assistance program.

H-5. Foreclosure Referral
Program
Based on current dynamics, the City
seeks to address the increased
incidence of residents facing
foreclosure. The City will provide
foreclosure information on the City’s
website, and provide resources at the
City to refer residents to external
agencies to assist in reducing incidents
of foreclosures in Laguna Hills.

Specific Plan Area for
Housing Opportunities
The City shall inform existing property
owners and prospective developers
that housing opportunities are available
in the Urban Village Specific Plan area.

Housing opportunities include market
rate housing units and could also
include housing for low and moderate
income households, families, seniors,
and special needs households. City
staff will inform prospective developers
at time of project application
meeting(s). Additionally, the City will
promote the UVSP area on the City’s
website and will also promote housing
development incentives consistent with
Chapter 9-72 of the Zoning Ordinance.

Ongoing
The City has met with multiple developers interested in development within the UVSP that may incorporate housing. Staff referred the developers to a variety of development regulations and density bonus provisions.

H-7. Alicia Gateway for
Housing Opportunities
The City shall inform existing property
owners and prospective developers
that housing opportunities are available
in the Alicia Gateway. Housing
opportunities could include market rate
housing units and could also include
housing for low and moderate income
households, families, seniors and
special needs households. City staff
will inform prospective developers at
time of project application meeting(s).

Additionally, the City will promote Alicia
Gateway on the City’s website and will
also promote housing development
incentives consistent with Chapter 9-72
of the Zoning Ordinance.
12/1/2013
During 2021 the city met with multiple developers interested in development within the Alicia Gateway that may incorporate housing. Staff referred the developers to a variety of development regulations and density bonus provisions.

H-8. Zoning Ordinance
Update
The implementation of housing goals,
policies, and programs will require
updating the City’s Zoning Ordinance.

In addition, certain City rules and
regulations may constrain the
development of housing affordable to
low and moderate income households
with special needs. To mitigate
potential constraints and implement
housing goals, policies, and programs,
the City will update the following
regulations in the Zoning Ordinance: 1.

Consolidate and remove duplicitous
definitions of manufactured housing
and mobile homes and ensure
consistency in the Zoning Ordinance,
use regulations, and development
standards. 2. Reduce the open space
requirement in the High Density
Residential district; 3. Increase the
maximum lot coverage requirement in
the Mixed Use district. 4. Transitional
and supportive housing will be
permitted as a residential use and only
subject to those restrictions that apply
to other residential dwellings of the
same type in the same zone.
10/1/2014
Due to staffing/resource limitations, staff has been able to complete numbers 1 and 4, and will be considering addressing numbers 2 and 3 in the next budget cycle (FY 22/23, 23/24)
H-9. Second Units
The City shall continue to implement
the Second Unit provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance consistent with state
law. The City will continue to permit
second units by right in all residential
zones of the City, requiring only
ministerial approval. Residential
second units provide a viable option for
providing additional housing
opportunities which could include
affordable housing for lower income
seniors, single persons, or small
households within existing
neighborhoods.

Ongoing
The City has updated the Second Unit provisions to comply with 2018 State Accessory Dwelling Unit regulations. A new Code amendment is pending to be compliant with more recent legislation. Staff will continue to monitor any future updates to ADU law.

H-10. CDBG Funding for
Shelter for the Homeless
The City shall apply for United States
Department of Housing and Urban
Development CDBG funds and allocate
a portion of such funds to
subrecipients who provide shelter for
the homeless.

Annually by September of
each year or as otherwise
required by the County
CDBG schedule
The City of Laguna Hills is a non-entitlement city and therefore relies on the County of Orange to receive and administer CDBG funding on the City's behalf.

As in previous years, in 2021 the City relied on the County of Orange to coordinate a comprehensive regional Continuum of Care (CoC) strategy that includes the participation of all thirty-four cities in Orange County, County Agencies, the County’s homeless housing and service providers, and other community groups (including non-profits, local governmental agencies, faithbased organizations, the homeless and formerly homeless, interested business leaders, schools, and many other stakeholders) to identify the gaps and unmet needs of the County’s homeless. Through cooperative agreements between the City and the County, the County has pursued funding for housing and related social services for the City's homeless population.

housing developers in preparation of
funding applications for special needs
populations.

H-12. Section 8 Rental
Assistance
The Orange County Housing Authority
currently administers the Section 8
Rental Assistance program on behalf of
the City. Currently the program assists
renter households in the City of Laguna
Hills. Based on future congressional
appropriations, the County Housing
Authority will apply for additional
funding which will enable the Housing
Authority to administer additional
vouchers for families, seniors, and
disabled persons over the Housing
Element planning period. The City of
Laguna Hills will continue to provide
referral services and information to the
City’s residents.

Ongoing In 2021 the City continued to refer interested residents to the Orange County Housing Authority.

H-13. Affordable Housing
Developer Partnerships

partnerships with mainstream and/or
special needs affordable housing
developers that could result in setasides in existing and planned low income housing projects. These
partnerships may include incentives
(such as expedited processing, fee
waivers, and density bonuses) provided
by the City to facilitate the set-asides
for planned low income units and
actively cooperating with the owners of
existing units to secure appropriate
federal funding necessary to maintain
existing affordability. The City will
promote lower income housing
development incentives on the City’s
website, consistent with Chapter 9-72
of the Zoning Ordinance. The City will
use HCD’s housing resources website
to locate available sites and potential
funding sources as needed for the
development of affordable housing.

Ongoing

H-14. Fair Housing
Program
The City will continue to maintain
services and personnel to receive
housing complaints and continue to
address or resolve complaints. The City
will also continue to refer fair housing
complaints to the Fair Housing Council
if they cannot be resolved at the City
level. The City will also continue to
disseminate written literature about fair
housing laws, resident rights, and
remedies for fair housing complaints
The City will ensure that fair housing
literature is available in the Community
Development Department, on the City’s
website, and at the Laguna Hills
Technology Library. The City will
monitor these sites to ensure timely,
accurate information is available.

Packet Pg. 637 Attachment: Attachment B - HCD FORM (2778 : 2021 General Plan Annual Progress Report) H-15. Universal Design
Features in Housing
The City recognizes that all people have
varying abilities and that many people
will encounter temporary or permanent
changes in ability to conduct the tasks
necessary for daily living throughout
their lives. Universal design features
create housing suited for people of all
abilities and can allow residents to stay
in their homes over their lifetime. The
City will explore programs, an
ordinance, and incentives to encourage
provision of universal design features
in housing. The City will refer to the
HCD website for guidelines and a
model ordinance consistent with the
principles of universal design. The
universal design ordinance will
address such topics as findings,
definitions, scope and application,
standards, and enforcement. City staff
will encourage prospective developers
to provide universal design features at
the time of project application
meeting(s).
10/1/2014 Staff will continue to explore programs and incentives related to universal design in housing.

H-16. Annual Progress

Efforts Coordination
The City shall coordinate local housing
efforts with appropriate federal, state,
regional, and local government and/or
agencies and cooperate in
implementation of intergovernmental

ISSUE: City Manager Recruitment - Appointment of Labor Negotiator RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council appoint Mayor Pro Tempore Heft to serve as the Council-designated Labor Negotiator for purposes of facilitating the employment contract negotiation process necessary to retain a new City Manager following completion of the pending formal competitive selection process.

SUMMARY:

On March 10, 2022, Interim City Manager Kenneth H. Rosenfield, P.E., submitted a letter of resignation indicating his intent to retire from the City, effective April 1, 2022, after nearly 27-years of dedicated public service. During his tenure with the City, he has served as the City's first Public Services Director/City Engineer and serving as the Interim City Manager for the past 14-months. Mr. Rosenfield's letter of resignation was placed on the March 22, 2022 agenda for City Council review and acceptance. In preparation for selecting a new city manager, a process already initiated by the City Council, it is recommended that the City Council, pursuant to Government Code §54957.6, appoint Mayor Pro Tempore Heft to serve as the Council-designated Labor Negotiator for purposes of facilitating upcoming employment contract negotiations in connection with the ongoing city manager recruitment process.

BACKGROUND:

4.12 Packet Pg. 650
City Manager Recruitment - Appointment of Labor Negotiator March 22, 2022

Page 2 ends

initiated by the City Council, it is recommended that the City Council, pursuant to Government Code Section 54957.6, select and appoint an individual(s) to serve as its designated representative(s) for purposes of conducting closed session meetings with its authorized labor negotiator to discuss compensation of the city manager, an unrepresented employee position. On March 10, 2022, Interim City Manager Kenneth H.

Rosenfield, P.E., submitted a letter of resignation indicating his intent to retire from the City, effective April 1, 2022, after nearly 27-years of dedicated public service. During his tenure with the City, he has served as the City's first Public Services Director/City Engineer and as the Interim City Manager for the past 14-months. Mr. Rosenfield's letter of resignation was placed on the March 22, 2022, agenda for City Council review and acceptance.

As a practical matter, a city council designated Labor Negotiator appointed to facilitate executive employment contract negotiations can be a city council member(s), human relations personnel, professional labor facilitator, an executive recruiter, or the city attorney. Over the years, the City Council has often appointed the Mayor Pro Tempore to fulfill this role – delegating such responsibilities to the Mayor Pro Tempore – to serve as the Council-designated Labor Negotiator in connection with city manager performance evaluations, labor negotiations, and employment contract related issues.

Government Code Section 54957.6 allows the City Council to select and identify its designated representative for purposes of conducting closed session meetings with its authorized Labor Negotiator to discuss compensation of the city manager, an unrepresented employee position. To do so, however, the City Council must first place the designation of a labor negotiator on the open and public session of the agenda and identify its designated Labor Negotiator prior to discussing compensation of an unrepresented employee in closed session.

Under the Brown Act, however, the City Council must take “final action” on the proposed compensation concerning employment of the city manager in open session after meeting and conferring with the council's designated Labor Negotiator. Following completion of the City Council’s ongoing formal competitive process for selecting a new city manager, it is anticipated that the City Council will direct the City Attorney to prepare a new employment agreement, which will be placed on the agenda for a future regular meeting of the City Council, at which time the Council will review and consider approval of the employment contract in open session

The City Council has the option of designating an authorized Council Labor Negotiator for purposes of facilitating the city manager employment contract negotiation process, but is not legally required to do so. It is recommended that the City Council, pursuant to Government Code §54957.6, appoint the Mayor Pro Tempore as the Council-designated Labor Negotiator for purposes of facilitating the contract negotiation process in connection with filling the city manager position.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with the City Council designating one of its members to serve as the designated Labor Negotiator for purposes of facilitating the employment contract negotiation process for filling the city manager position.

CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 of Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (Class 1, Existing Facilities)”.

SUMMARY:

GB Architecture, on behalf of Warmington Properties, Inc. (“Applicant”) is requesting approval of the following applications for Honali Plaza (“Center”):
• A Site Development Permit (SDP) for a variety of site and architectural improvements to the Center, including a comprehensive building façade upgrade, a new courtyard/outdoor experience area, and renovated landscaping; and, • A Joint Parking Use Permit (PUP) to establish shared parking for the Center.

The Center is owned by Warmington Properties, Inc., which has authorized the Applicant to apply for the requested Site Development Permit and Joint Parking Use Permit (“Project”).

The Project includes façade upgrades to all six buildings in the Center and does not result in any change to the footprints/square footage of the buildings. The proposed upgrades to the building elevations have been designed to reflect a ‘Contemporary Transitional’ architectural theme. All rooftop mechanical equipment will be screened.

The Project also includes the creation of a new plaza/courtyard area, and would include seating, a children’s play area, and shade structures. Other site improvements include new and upgraded trash enclosures, upgraded landscaping, and new parking lot lighting.

Additionally, the Project also includes new pedestrian pathways that provide connections from existing public sidewalks into the Center. A new gate and crosswalk are also proposed, which will provide access to the Aliso Creek Bikeway. The Project also includes multiple improvements and extensions to existing perimeter walls, which will benefit the neighboring community by providing additional screening and security.

The Project will add twenty-two (22) parking stalls to the parking inventory, resulting in a total of 388 parking stalls (including 20 ADA-accessible stalls) that will be shared by tenants and visitors. Based on the parking requirements identified in the Laguna Hills Municipal Code, at full tenant occupancy, the Center would require 422 parking stalls, resulting in a deficit of 34 stalls. The Applicant prepared a parking study which concludes that utilizing a shared parking approach results in an actual peak parking

demand of 363 parking stalls. Shared parking allows multiple uses within a shopping center to share parking stalls to meet parking demand, assuming those uses have staggered parking demand periods throughout the day. When factoring in the existing vacancies and including a 10% buffer, the result is a surplus of 25 parking stalls.

The Project complies with all requirements of the General Plan Land Use Element and Zoning Code. Table LU-1 of the General Plan and Section 9-29.010 of the Zoning Code identify the purpose and intent of land uses within the Neighborhood Mixed Use designation, which include the creation of attractive neighborhood-level centers that promote a more active, vibrant street life; increase pedestrian activity and reduce vehicular traffic; provide storefront style shopping streets; and/or encourage walking and social interaction. The Project is consistent with and enhances these objectives.

This Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (Class 1, Existing Facilities). In addition, staff has determined that the Project, subject to conditions of approval, will not result in any significant adverse impacts to the public, health, safety and general welfare. The design of the Project will provide a compatible land use within the Neighborhood Mixed Use zoning district and will expand the types of facilities and services available within the community. As conditioned, the Project will be a pleasant upgrade to Honali Plaza as the Center continues to provide a mix of retail uses and services.

Therefore, staff recommends approval of the Project, subject to the conditions of approval contained within the proposed Resolutions (Attachments A and B).

AUTHORITY:

Title 9 of the Laguna Hills Municipal Code (“LHMC”) contains the City of Laguna Hills Development Code (also commonly referred to as the “Zoning Code” or the “Code”).

The process the City must follow in reviewing new development projects is found in Chapter 9-92 of the Code. Section 9-92.080 of the Code grants the Community Development Director the authority to review and approve SDPs for commercial properties with development not exceeding 20,000 square feet. However, the proposed SDP is being considered in conjunction with a request for a PUP, which grants the Planning Agency the authority to review and approve (LHMC 9-92.030).

The process the City must follow in reviewing a Joint Parking Use Permit is found in LHMC Chapter 9-44 Access and Parking, and LHMC Chapter 9-92 Application Process and

SDP No. USE-0027-2020, PUP No. USE-0084-2022 (Honali Plaza) March 22, 2022

Page 4 ends

Submittal Requirements. LHMC Section 9-44.070 (Joint Use of Parking Facilities) describes how the sharing of parking facilities can be approved, as long as there is sufficient parking for all existing and proposed uses within a site. The Planning Agency has review authority over the PUP process in accordance with LHMC Section 9-92.030.

The findings required for the aforementioned application types are found in Section 9-92.080 of the Code and are listed and discussed in the attached Resolutions.

Staff has prepared findings demonstrating the applications comply with the Zoning Code and the General Plan as stated in the proposed Resolutions of Approval for the Site Development Permit (Attachment A) and Joint Parking Use Permit (Attachment B).

BACKGROUND:

Honali Plaza is an approximately 8-acre commercial retail center located on the northwest corner of Alicia Parkway and Hon Avenue in the Neighborhood-Mixed Use (NMU) zoning district. The Center was originally approved by the County of Orange and constructed in the late-1970s under the County’s jurisdiction (UP79-8P, SP79-5P, VA79- 1P). The Center’s site layout has remained unchanged from its original approval, and the property maintains coordinated circulation, parking, and landscaping.

The Center includes six multi-tenant buildings and a Wendy’s drive-thru restaurant pad on a separate parcel, with a combined total of approximately 72,202 square feet of retail space divided between 27 tenant spaces. The uses in the Center currently consist of a mix of retail, restaurants, and services uses. An approximately 27,000 square foot ‘Major Tenant’ space (Building A), formerly the location of Performance Bicycle, is currently vacant. However, a veterinary clinic is interested in leasing approximately 2/3 of the space, and has indicated to staff that they will apply for a Conditional Use Permit soon. The Chevron service station and Alicia Auto Spa carwash on the corner of Alicia Parkway and Hon Avenue are not a part of the Center or Project.

The surrounding area consists of existing single-family homes and the Alicia Parkway I-5 exit to the north, existing single-family homes to the west, and existing commercial retail/office centers to the south and east across Hon Avenue and Alicia Parkway. Figure 1 below is a vicinity map of the Project:

PROPOSAL & ANALYSIS:

The Applicant is requesting approval of a Site Development Permit for a variety of site/building upgrades and a Parking Use Permit to establish shared parking for the Center (Attachment C).

Site Development Permit
The proposed Project includes façade upgrades to all six buildings in the Center (Attachment D; Sheets A-4.2 – A-7.5). The upgrades do not result in any change to the footprints/square footage of the buildings. The current building elevations, which have remained unchanged from their original County approval, consist of sloped Spanishstyle tile roofs with beige stucco walls. The proposed upgrades to the building elevations have been designed to reflect a ‘Contemporary Transitional’ architectural theme. This includes architectural elements such as flat rooflines, stone veneer accents, a gray color palate, and smooth stucco building finishes. The building façades also include new aluminum storefronts with clear anodized finishes, and strategically-placed metal awnings and overhangs. Roof heights fluctuate in order to provide a varying roofline and architectural projections, with heights varying between 14 to 26 feet, well below the 40-foot maximum building height allowed in the NMU zoning district. All rooftop mechanical equipment will be screened (Attachment D; Sheets A-2.1 – A-2.2).

SDP No. USE-0027-2020, PUP No. USE-0084-2022 (Honali Plaza) March 22, 2022

Page 6 ends

The Project also includes the creation of a new plaza/courtyard area located between Building C and Building D (Attachment D; Sheet LC-2.0). The approximately 5,717- square foot area would include seating, a children’s play area, and shade structures.

The plaza would be well-landscaped with accent trees, pots, and planters, as well as a large olive tree as a centerpiece.

In order to accommodate the proposed courtyard, certain areas of the parking lot will need to be restriped and repaved, resulting in the addition of 22 parking stalls (Attachment D; Sheet A-2). Other site improvements include new and upgraded trash enclosures (Attachment D; Sheets A8.1 – A8.2), which will meet the State’s new waste management requirements, and new parking lot lighting (Attachment D; Sheet E-5). The Project also includes new pedestrian pathways that provide connections from existing public sidewalks into the Center. Two new walkways are proposed on Hon Avenue providing pedestrian access to Buildings B and F. A new gate and crosswalk near the front of Building A is also proposed, which will provide access to the Aliso Creek Bikeway.

The Project also includes several improvements requested by the City intended to benefit the surrounding community, which are reflected in Site Development Permit Condition of Approval Nos. 16 and 17. These include:
• Extension of the existing block wall along Katie Avenue to the edge of the property. There is currently an approximately 10-foot gap in the wall with chain link fence as the perimeter boundary.
• Payment of funds to the City in support of planting a robust landscaping hedge within the City-owned parkway along Katie Avenue to enhance the screening behind Building A.
• Extend the existing block wall along the Aliso Creek Bikeway from its current point of termination to the new pedestrian access gate near the front of Building A. This length of wall (approximately 150 linear feet) will measure 6-feet in height on the Center’s side.
• Increase the height of the existing block wall along the Aliso Creek Bikeway to 6- feet in height measured from the Center’s side.

The proposed upgraded architecture of the buildings, new courtyard area, and various site improvements all complement the existing surrounding land uses and comply with

the development standards in the Zoning Code.

Joint Parking Use Permit
The number of parking stalls required for a particular use or type of business are contained in LHMC Table 9-44.A (Number of Parking Stalls Required). The parking requirements for a business are typically calculated by applying the ratio identified by LHMC Table 9-44.A to the gross floor area of the use. For instance, a 1,000 square foot retail store would require five (5) parking stalls since the parking ratio for general retail uses is one (1) stall per 200 square feet. The Code’s approach to determining the amount of parking required for a use assumes businesses utilize 100% of the required parking at all times. This is a common approach that cities utilize in determining the parking needs for non-residential uses, but it can overstate required parking.

For commercial centers, required parking is based on the total parking needed to serve all existing businesses, including vacant storefronts. The parking requirements are compared to the total parking inventory of the center to determine if there is a surplus or deficit of parking stalls. Since commercial centers typically have a variety of uses that have differing parking demand periods during a business day, the Code provides the opportunity for the joint use of parking facilities with an approved parking plan (LHMC Section 9-44.070). This approach to calculating parking demand is generally referred to as “shared parking”, which is made possible through the approval of a Joint Parking Use Permit by the Planning Agency.

The Applicant has applied for a Joint Parking Use Permit, which includes an Observed Parking Study (“Study”) prepared by RK Engineering Group, Inc. (Attachment E). The Study follows standard Institute of Transportation Engineers practices and guidelines for determining parking demands for a neighborhood shopping center. Parking counts were taken at one-hour intervals on Thursday – Saturday, November 14 – 16, 2019 from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm. These days and hours of observation were chosen to capture the busiest weekday and weekend days of the week. The methodology used in the Study is a blended approach to calculating parking using observed actual demand for existing tenants, plus Code required parking for future tenants. The parking surveys were obtained during typical weather conditions and were completed prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The peak parking demand observed for the existing tenants was on Saturday at 2:00 pm, when 94% of the parking lot was occupied.

The Study also included simulated requirements for vacant retail space in the Center, which would not be captured by the observed parking counts. Retail businesses are

5.5.1 Packet Pg. 659
SDP No. USE-0027-2020, PUP No. USE-0084-2022 (Honali Plaza) March 22, 2022

Page 8 ends

permitted by right in the Neighborhood Mixed Use zoning district and require one parking stall per 200 square feet of gross floor area. At the time of the Study, there was 9,520 square feet of vacant space in the Center, which would require 48 parking stalls when using the Code parking requirements for General Retail. The Study also allocated 100 parking stalls for the proposed 20,000 square foot veterinary clinic planned for Building A.

Furthermore, when analyzing shared parking, the City has typically increased required parking by an additional 10% as a best practice to account for potential parking demand fluctuations. When combining the peak parking demand (Saturday, 2:00pm), the required parking for vacant tenant spaces, and the 10% buffer, the actual parking demand is 363 parking stalls for the Center. With a proposed parking inventory of 388 stalls, a projected surplus of 25 stalls will remain available for the Center, which results in an adequate number of parking stalls to accommodate the proposed use mix of tenants during all times of the year assuming a full tenant occupancy scenario. The approval of the proposed CUP/PUP will reflect the Center’s actual parking demand, and enable the Applicant to use the Center’s surplus parking capacity for a wide range of potential new tenants that may require a higher parking demand, such as health clubs, medical offices, and restaurants.

General Plan Consistency/Alicia Gateway Opportunity Area In order to approve the Project, the Planning Agency must find that the Project is consistent with the Laguna Hills General Plan. Staff has concluded that the Project is consistent with several General Plan Goals and Policies. Specifically, the Project:
• Creates diverse and vibrant activity centers and events that bring people together as a community. (Goal LU-1).
o Promote walkability throughout the community through enhanced pedestrian amenities, attractive streetscapes, plazas, and civic gathering areas (Policy LU-1.4).
o Increases opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle connections to activity centers by well-designed and shaded pathways (Policy LU-1.6). • Is compatible and interdependent with neighboring uses (Goal LU-2). o Improve connections with surrounding uses by enhancing landscaping,

providing pedestrian connections, incorporating green areas, and planting street trees (Policy LU-2.2).
o Minimize impacts to surrounding neighborhoods and land uses through context-sensitive site design and architecture (Policy LU-2.8). • Proposes infill development that involves the revitalization of property in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner (Goal LU-3). o Encourages new development that uses land efficiently and offers flexibility to changing resident and shopping needs, contributing to the long-term vitality of the community (Policy LU-3.2).
o Ensure safe, efficient pedestrian connections are made between adjacent neighborhoods, sidewalks, parking areas, and entrances to stores (Policy LU-3.3).
o Incorporate open spaces, plazas, and outdoor dining areas into new development and redevelopment to provide visual relief and community gathering spaces (Policy LU-3.4).
o Creates a safe, inviting, and functional pedestrian and cyclist environments in new public and private development (Policy LU-3.10). • Places a high priority on design, architecture, and landscaping that reflect the community’s identity and gracious lifestyle (Goal LU-4). o Create distinctive gateway architecture, landscaping, and signs at major entries to the community and in community activity centers (Policy LU4.1). o Encourage developers to create unique project identities that enhance the overall character of the City (Policy LU-4.8).
• Expands the variety of services, shopping, and entertainment opportunities in the community (Goal LU-6).
• Facilitates the creation and expansion of private sector businesses and associated local career choices for Laguna Hills residents (Goal LU-7).

o Encourages private property owners to revitalize, upgrade, and beautify aging and underperforming commercial and business areas (Policy LU-7.4).

The proposed Project is also located within the Alicia Gateway Opportunity Area (“AGOA”). As part of the City’s 2009 Comprehensive General Plan Update, the City Council adopted the AGOA, which encompasses the entire Neighborhood Mixed Use zoning district, including Honali Plaza. The Planning Agency must determine if the Project is consistent with the vision for the AGOA, which seeks to create a moderate density center and gathering place by promoting:
• A mix of retail, housing, and office uses;
• Walkable connections, plazas, and green space for community gatherings; • High-quality design and architecture;
• Orientation of buildings toward the street and pedestrians; • Accessibility to transit; and
• Connectivity to promote walking from nearby neighborhoods to the Gateway.

The proposed Project is consistent with the vision and requirements of the AGOA. The Project:
• Will continue to add to the mix of land uses in the area and provides new services that are otherwise limited in the NMU zoning district;
• Will be walkable to other existing commercial/retail uses within the AGOA; • Continues the high-quality design and architecture envisioned for the AGOA and is an aesthetic improvement to the neighborhood while providing a compatible development that respects the existing commercial development on Alicia Parkway and the single-family residential neighborhood north of the Center; • Will provide outdoor dining areas for gatherings oriented toward Alicia Parkway; CONCLUSION:

Staff supports the Project as it continues to implement the goals and objectives of the General Plan and Alicia Gateway Opportunity Area. The Project will facilitate outdoor

5.5.1 Packet Pg. 662
SDP No. USE-0027-2020, PUP No. USE-0084-2022 (Honali Plaza) March 22, 2022

gathering opportunities and provides new development opportunities that use land efficiently and offer flexibility to changing resident and shopping needs, contributing to the long-term vitality of the community. The incorporated outdoor courtyard area will provide visual relief and community gathering spaces as well as creating a safe, inviting, and functional pedestrian environment.

Given the results of the Observed Parking Study, it is appropriate to establish a shared parking approach at the Center through the City’s Joint Parking Use Permit process and allow the Applicant the opportunity to establish a more efficient approach for the use of the Center’s parking supply pursuant to LHMC Section 9-44.070. This approach uses actual parking counts to determine parking need, rather than strictly utilizing the City’s standard parking requirements found in Table 9-44.A. The Study demonstrates that the Center’s peak parking demand is far below the parking required by Code. Therefore, the approval of the PUP will reflect the Center’s actual parking demand, and enable the Applicant to use the Center’s surplus parking capacity for a wide range of potential new tenants that may require a higher parking demand.

As a standard City practice for PUPs, staff requires applicants to address future changes in parking demand due to tenant turnover and change in the mix of uses once the PUP has been approved. For instance, Joint Parking Use Permit Condition of Approval No. 12 authorizes the Community Development Director to request an update to the Study if the tenant mixture at any time becomes problematic to the Center’s parking and circulation.

With the recommended Conditions of Approval, the Project meets development standards and design guidelines of the Code and meets the goals, policies, and procedures of the General Plan. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the proposed Project.

PUBLIC NOTICE:

1660912.1
SECTION 2. The Planning Agency hereby determines that the required findings by the City for approval of Site Development Permit No. USE-0027- 2020 have been met and made as follows:

Site Development Permit

1. The site design complies with standards of the Development Code.

The current site design and architecture was entitled and constructed under the jurisdiction of the County of Orange. The Project includes an update to the site design, specifically the outdoor courtyard area, which comply with the development standards of the Neighborhood Mixed Use zoning district, including maximum lot coverage, density/FAR, minimum landscape coverage, and other required development standards. With approval of the proposed Joint Parking Use Permit (USE-0084-2022), the parking inventory allows for the proposed updates.

2. The site is suitable for the proposed development.

The site design aspects of the Project will be compatible with, and not detrimental to, surrounding development and with the overall design quality prevalent in the City. These aspects include setbacks, access, landscaping/lighting, and other architectural site design elements (i.e., height, scale, mass, and appearance). The updated buildings reflect a contemporary architectural theme incorporating visual interest and building articulation. Conditions of approval have been included to ensure the Project will be compatible with the surrounding area with respect to noise, parking, and public safety.

3. The project is consistent with the General Plan and applicable design guidelines.

As part of the City’s 2009 Comprehensive General Plan Update, the City Council adopted the Alicia Gateway Opportunity Area (AGOA), which encompasses the entire Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) zoning district, including the Project Site. The AGOA/NMU seeks to “create a moderate density center and gathering place by promoting a mix of retail, housing, and office uses; walkable connections, plazas, and green space for community gatherings; high-quality design and architecture; orientation of buildings toward the street and pedestrians; accessibility to transit; connectivity to promote walking from nearby neighborhoods to the Gateway” (General Plan Land Use Element pp. LU-20 – 21). The AGOA designation also promotes the development of vertical and horizontal mixed-use. Allowed uses include commercial, retail, office, and residential; however, standalone residential is prohibited (Laguna Hills General Plan, 2009).

1660912.1
The Project is consistent with the vision and requirements of the AGOA.

The Project will continue to add to the mix of land uses in the area and provide new opportunities that are otherwise limited in the NMU zoning district. The Project continues the high-quality design and architecture envisioned for the AGOA and is an aesthetic improvement to the neighborhood. The Project will facilitate outdoor gathering opportunities and provides new development opportunities that uses land efficiently and offers flexibility to changing resident and shopping needs, contributing to the longterm vitality of the community. The outdoor courtyard area will provide visual relief and community gathering spaces as well as creating a safe, inviting, and functional pedestrian environment.

4. The site design and structural components are appropriate for the site and function of the proposed uses.

The Project will be of quality design with an appropriately-scaled framework of architectural and landscaping elements. Although the site design remains generally the same as it’s current configuration, the site has been designed to accommodate the proposed outdoor courtyard area. In the event circulation/parking issues occur on the site, Joint Parking Use Permit conditions of approval require the Applicant to resolve such conditions by identifying and implementing appropriate circulation improvements working with the City. The new facilities have been designed to meet all development standards. High-quality development features will be provided throughout the Center through site design (e.g., building and outdoor orientation, walls, and screening), architecture (e.g., mass, scale and form, style, material and color) and landscaping (e.g., screening, and parking lot trees and shade). Development of the Project, as conditioned, will be compatible with, and not detrimental to, surrounding development, and with the overall design quality prevalent in the City.

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the above findings, the Planning Agency of the City of Laguna Hills does hereby approve Site Development Permit No. USE-0027- 2020 subject to the following conditions of approval:

1660920.1
Permit (CUP/PUP) No. USE-0082-2022 have been met and made as follows:

Joint Parking Use Permit

1. The proposed Joint Parking Use Permit is consistent with the intent and purpose of the development code.

The City’s parking requirements are contained in LHMC Chapter 9-44. The intent of the parking requirements in the development code is to ensure that all land uses provide safe access and on-site circulation with adequate offstreet parking facilities. The development code allows for shared use of parking facilities provided that it can be shown that adequate parking for all users is maintained. The Applicant has demonstrated that based upon the existing actual demand at the Center for existing uses, and the coderequired parking for vacancies and future uses, there is sufficient parking for the planned tenant mix, including uses that have higher parking ratios such as fitness, medical, and restaurant uses. A comprehensive shared parking plan allows additional flexibility in leasing to a larger variety of users and allows a more efficient use of the existing parking supply. Condition of Approval No. 12 provides the Community Development Director with the ability to address parking and/or circulation issues relative to any change in any use or any portion of any use (i.e., change in tenant mix) in the shopping center to ensure the proposed Joint Parking Use Permit remains consistent with the requirements of the development code.

2. The joint parking use permit provides a reasonable and enforceable means for all uses to share parking facilities.

The shared parking approach proposed for the Center is enforceable upon all current and future tenants to ensure the parking is available for the shopping center. Any changes to the property affecting access or parking would require City approval, at which time the impact on shared parking would be evaluated. This permit is binding and enforceable against the property owner and all existing and future tenants per the project conditions of approval. Additionally, the Community Development Director is able to evaluate the available parking supply for any change in tenant mix at the Center as provided for in Condition of Approval No. 12.

3. The requirement for parking established by the joint parking use permit shall assure that the parking demands for the participating uses are continually met.

This permit is binding and enforceable against the Property Owner and all existing and future tenants per the conditions of approval. Additionally, the Community Development Director is able to evaluate the available parking

supply when any change in tenancy, or mix of uses is proposed at the Subject Site as provided for in Condition of Approval No. 12. Therefore, parking demand will continually be met at the Center. Should a parking issue occur resulting from a change in the tenancy or mix of uses, the Community Development Director, per Condition of Approval No. 12, can require the Applicant to provide a parking study to demonstrate that parking is still sufficient.

4. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan.

The project is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. In particular, with regard to parking, the General Plan under the Mobility Element (M-15) states the importance of utilizing a broad range of parking management tools to balance parking spillover effects and excessive parking requirements, to encourage efficient use of the land. Currently, the subject parking lot is often underutilized. Establishing formal shared parking will allow additional businesses that could not otherwise locate in the Center, utilizing currently underused parking, while still providing adequate parking for all users.

5. The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses, buildings, and structures have been considered and the proposed conditional use will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures.

The Project Site is located in the Neighborhood Mixed Use zoning district, adjacent to the Interstate 5 freeway. The Project Site is on the northwest corner of Alicia Parkway and Hon Avenue. The surrounding area consists of existing single-family homes and the Alicia Parkway/I-5 exit to the north, existing single-family homes to the west, and existing commercial retail/office centers to the south and east across Hon Avenue and Alicia Parkway. The Project Site includes six multi-tenant buildings and a Wendy’s drive-thru restaurant pad on a separate parcel, with a combined total of approximately 72,202 square feet of retail space divided between 27 tenant spaces. The uses in the Center currently consist of a mix of retail, restaurants, and services uses. The proposal to use shared parking on the Project Site is consistent with the commercial nature of the property’s use.

Numerous commercial properties within the City utilize shared parking as an opportunity to allow a variety of commercial uses within a shopping center. Conditions of approval ensure the use of shared parking on the site will not be materially detrimental. For example, Condition of Approval No. 12 requires the Property Owner to update the parking and circulation study for the shopping center whenever a change tenancy, or a change in the mix of uses is proposed. These requirements will ensure sufficient parking is available on the site for current and future tenants and uses.

1660920.1

6. The proposed site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use and integrate it with the existing and planned uses in the vicinity.

As described in Finding No. 5 above, surrounding uses include residential, commercial, retail and service uses. The Project Site is 8-acres and improved with six commercial buildings totaling 72,000 square feet. The Project Site is also improved with required landscaping around the perimeter and in interior areas of the site. The Project Site is typical of other commercial shopping centers in Laguna Hills in terms of the nature of the improvements provided that result in a functioning commercial property.

If staff determines insufficient parking exists on a site being considered for new tenants and uses due to the application of the City’s standard parking ratios, the City’s shared parking regulations contained in LHMC 9-44.070 allow property owners to base parking need on actual demand with the completion of a parking study to determine if a parking surplus exists on the property. The Applicant has submitted a parking study (“Study”) in order to evaluate the actual parking demand for the Project Site. When factoring in the proposed site improvements and including a 10% buffer for the Project Site, there is a total parking demand of 363 stalls, resulting in a surplus of 25 parking stalls for the Project Site. Therefore, existing and proposed improvements are sufficient to serve the Project Site. Off-site uses in the vicinity will not be impacted by the proposed shared parking approach since the Project Site will maintain all of the improvements required to function.

There are no uses proposed that would need to interface with the site. The existing and proposed uses are typical to those found in other shopping centers in Laguna Hills and do not require any unique or unusual site improvements to operate. Condition of Approval No. 12 will allow the Community Development Director to evaluate the available parking supply for any change in tenants or change in use at the Center in the future, to ensure the Applicant’s implementation of a shared parking approach will not result in inadequate parking now or in the future.

7. All required development standards prescribed by the Development Code can be achieved.

The proposed joint parking use permit will enable the Property Owner to determine required parking on the Center’s actual parking demand, and enable the Property Owner to accommodate a wider range of potential new tenants, broadening the range of services to serve the public, that may require more parking such as health clubs, medical offices, and restaurants.

The Applicant, in cooperation with the Property Owner, has submitted a parking study (“Study”) in order to evaluate the actual parking demand for the Project Site. When factoring in the proposed site improvements and including a 10% buffer for the Project Site, there is a total parking demand of 363 stalls, resulting in a surplus of 25 parking stalls for the Project Site.

1660920.1
This approach to determining parking needs on a property is authorized by LHMC 9-44.070. Therefore, the Applicant has demonstrated that it can comply with the City’s parking requirements. Condition or Approval No. 12 will allow the Community Development Director to evaluate the available parking supply for any change in tenancy or mix of uses at the Center in the future to ensure the shared parking approach will comply with the requirements of LHMC 9-44.070 in the future.

8. The conditions and limitations placed upon the use are necessary to ensure compatibility with adjacent or abutting uses and the preservation of the public peace, safety, and welfare.

The conditions of approval will ensure that the approval of the Joint Parking Use Permit will not result in the conditions described above. Condition of Approval No. 12 will allow the Community Development Director to evaluate the available parking supply for any change in tenant mix at the center and ensure the adequate parking will be available for all uses at the center. The ability to evaluate the center’s required parking for any change in mix of uses, and require reasonable mitigation measures based on future updates to the Center’s parking study to be implemented by the Applicant will ensure that incompatible conditions with adjacent or abutting uses will not materialize as a result of the approval of a Joint Parking Use Permit, and ensure that the public peace, safety and welfare is maintained.

NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the above findings, the Planning Agency of the City of Laguna Hills does hereby approve Joint Parking Use Permit No. USE-0082- 2022 subject to the following conditions of approval:

COMPLETENESS REVIEW
Mr. Wuu:

The proposed project is the renovation and transformation of an existing shopping center built in the 1970’s. As a part of the proposed upgrades, the following items shall be a part of the project:

A Joint Parking Use Permit is proposed and an updated parking study for the entire center has been conducted based on current uses.

1. The updated parking study was conducted prior to the Covid pandemic, Nov. 14, 2019 and reflects accurate peak demands. Based on the attached table 3, mid-day peak illustrates only 88% of capacity. See parking Matrix.

2. The proposed changes shall allow for more efficient layout and driveway flows around the center together with new wayfinding signs.

3. The findings for the joint parking use permit satisfy the city of Laguna Hills required parking for a multi-tenant shopping center.

A Site Development Permit is proposed and shall be consistent with the land use elements of the city’s general plan. This renovation shall enhance an existing commercial center and maintain existing compatible uses of the neighborhood mixed use designation.

1. The findings for the SDP satisfy the pedestrian access to the site with improved walkability from adjacent properties and within the shopping center by providing accessible walkways, crossing paths, ramps, and visual wayfinding signs.

2. By providing the upgrades with the architecture style, enhanced landscaping, new lighting, and new outdoor lounge, the project aligns with the Laguna Hills Alicia Gateway Opportunity Area of the general plan.

3. The addition of the courtyard encourages more eating establishments and social interaction, including pedestrian activity within the shopping center which aligns with the goals of the LU-1 Mixed Use designation of the city.

Ownership has operated and maintained the shopping center since its inception and shall continue to do so into the far future. The proposed architecture theme shall incorporate a new more contemporary color scheme with smooth stucco finishes and clean lines with updated metal cornices, stone accents, and

integral color aluminum storefront glazing systems throughout. The proposed improvements shall apply to all existing 6 buildings for consistency and creates a unifying aesthetic for the center.

The buildings shall receive new rooftop equipment screens to meet the city’s ordinance. Trash enclosures shall be upgraded with new covers and meet the city’s current standards.

The landscape shall be remodeled and upgraded including accents in key areas. A new courtyard / lounge is proposed and is an integral part of the landscape renovation.

In addition to these improvements, the Wendy’s building will also be undergoing a remodel of their building located on the Eastern side of the property along Alicia Pkwy. The Wendy’s operator will perform the work, and we will work closely with them to ensure their remodel is of appropriately scaled architecture and design.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call me.

Sincerely,
Rick Guina, Architect

Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Subject: The Honali Plaza Observed Parking Study, City of Laguna Hills Dear Mr. Ramming:

Introduction
RK ENGINEERING GROUP, INC. (RK) is pleased to provide this observed parking study for the Honali Plaza shopping center. The existing site is located at 24761 Alicia Parkway, in the City of Laguna Hills, California. The location map is provided in Exhibit A.

The Honali Plaza currently consists of approximately 74,202 square feet of retail, restaurant, etc. The site currently has approximately 29,520 square feet, or approximately 40% of the gross floor area, of vacant tenant space.

Based on a manual count, the shopping center provides a total of 366 available parking spaces (including 19 ADA parking spaces) in a surface lot surrounding the buildings.

Parking for the project is shared globally and non-exclusively by all tenants and visitors.

Representatives of the project are proposing to construct a courtyard (outdoor eating area) located in the parking lot adjacent to Building C. As a result, the parking lot serving the shopping center will be restriped to accommodate the courtyard and to maximize the number of parking spaces on-site. Based on a review of the proposed site plan, a total of twenty-two (22) parking spaces will be added to the parking inventory. Therefore, under future conditions, the project will provide a total of 388 available parking spaces (including 20 ADA parking spaces) that will be shared globally by tenants and visitors in a surface parking lot.

The shopping center site plan is provided in Exhibit B.

Photographs of the project site with the existing tenant and parking lot configurations are included in Appendix D.

A representative of the project (Mr. Michael Ramming) is proposing to lease approximately 20,000 square feet of Veterinarian Clinic located in Suite 24721A. This use may generate a higher parking demand when compared to the existing tenant mix within the site. As a result, a parking code calculation and an observed parking study is required in order to demonstrate that adequate parking is provided for the proposed tenant mix in the shopping center.

Table 1: City of Laguna Hills Parking Code Existing Uses Considering the existing use mix and assuming full tenant occupancy of the 29,520 square feet of vacancies, per the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code (Table 9-44.A Number of Parking Stalls Required) and the parking requirements for City approved projects; Honali Plaza requires a total of 454 parking spaces. The project provides a total of 388 parking spaces. As a result, the shopping center has a parking deficiency of 66 parking spaces, or 14.5 % deficient per the Municipal Parking Code.

Table 1 provides the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code (9-44.A Number of Parking Stalls Required) for the existing use mix. The City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code is included in Appendix A.

Table 2: City of Laguna Hills Parking Code Proposed Uses Considering the proposed use mix and assuming full tenant occupancy of the 9,250 square feet of vacancies, per the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code (9-44.A Number of Parking Stalls Required) and the parking requirements for City approved projects; Honali Plaza requires a total of 454 parking spaces. The project provides a total of 388 parking spaces. As a result, the shopping center has a parking deficiency of 66 parking spaces, or

14.5% deficient per the Municipal Parking Code.

Considering the proposed project, the parking requirements for proposed conditions are not changing when compared to existing conditions.

Table 2 provides the City of Laguna Hills Municipal Parking Code (9-44.A Number of Parking Stalls Required) for the proposed tenant mix.

Parking Demand Surveys
Due to the calculated parking code deficiency per the Municipal Code, RK has been requested to prepare an observed parking study in order to determine whether adequate parking is available to accommodate the proposed use mix within the Honali Plaza. Prior to initiating the parking study, RK reviewed the parameters of the study with the City of Laguna Hills. This study follows standard engineering practice and guidelines for determining future parking demands for a neighborhood shopping center use.

The observed parking surveys were obtained during a typical Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM at one (1) hour intervals. The study days are consistent with shopping center peak parking demand data published in the ITE (Institute of Transportation Engineers) Parking Generation Manual 5th Edition. The data confirms that peak parking demands at shopping centers typically peak on a Friday and Saturday.

Please see Appendix B for shopping center peak weekday and weekend parking rates published by ITE.

Hourly Observed Peak Parking Demand
Per the direction of the City of Laguna Hills, RK obtained a detailed parking survey capturing the parking demand at Honali Plaza on the following typical days from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM at one (1) hour intervals:
 Thursday, November 14th, 2019
 Friday, November 15th, 2019
 Saturday, November 16th, 2019
A total of forty-five (45) hours of observed parking counts were collected at the shopping center. The parking surveys were conducted by an independent third party (Counts Unlimited, Inc.). The parking surveys were obtained during typical weather conditions and were completed prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Representatives of Counts Unlimited, Inc. went to the project site to conduct a manual count of the number of parking spaces that serve the tenants of the Honali Plaza shopping center. Furthermore, representatives from RK (Rogier Goedecke) confirmed that there were no parking spaces being blocked by fixed objects by storage containers, shopping cart

racks, trash enclosures, etc. As a result, under existing conditions, there are a total of 366 parking spaces available within the study area.

Four (4) parking zones were utilized within the study area to determine the hourly parking demand for each zone. During the time of the parking survey, the number of parked vehicles was counted in each of the parking zones. Exhibit C indicates the parking zones utilized in the report. The raw data of the observed parking counts are included in Appendix C.

The parking survey hours straddle the proposed operating hours for many types of tenants and land uses. As a result, the parking survey covers the peak parking demand time of day factors for a variety of existing and potential land uses.

The following adjustments were made to the collected observed parking demand counts to account for a full tenant occupancy scenario with the proposed project:
 Per the City of Laguna Hills Code, a 10% overage rate was applied to the peak observed parking counts to account for potential parking demand fluctuations.  Based on the City Parking Code, as shown in Table 2, the 9,520 square feet of proposed vacant space would require 48 parking spaces. Hence, the analysis includes increase of the site’s hourly observed parking demand by 48 parking spaces to account for full occupancy of the 9,520 square feet of proposed vacant space per the City Code.
 Lastly, the parking demand of 100 parking spaces was added for the proposed 20,00 square feet of Veterinary Clinic was added to the observed parking demand.

Conclusion
The Honali Plaza shopping center currently consists of approximately 74,202 square feet of retail, restaurant, etc. Under existing conditions, the project provides a total of 366 available parking spaces. Under future conditions, the project will provide a total of 388 available parking spaces that will be shared globally by tenants and visitors in a surface parking lot.

Based on a conservative calculation and assuming full tenant occupancy, the observed parking study indicates that the projected peak parking demand would occur on a typical Saturday at 2:00 PM t when a total of 94% of the parking lot is occupied. As a result, a total surplus of 25 parking spaces is available to visitors and employees during peak parking demand times.

In conclusion, the Honali Plaza shopping center is projected to have an adequate number of parking spaces to accommodate the proposed use mix of tenants during all times of the year assuming a full tenant occupancy scenario.

It is recommended that after the parking lot is restriped, another manual count of the parking spaces should be conducted to confirm the parking inventory. Additionally, it is recommended that a follow-up observed parking analysis be conducted to make sure that the Honali Plaza shopping center continues to provide an adequate number of parking spaces for all its tenants.

RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council:
(1) Certify that with the retirement of Kenneth H. Rosenfield on April 1, 2022, the position of City Manager will be vacant while the City Council continues its recruitment for a new City Manager;
(2) Certify that while vacant, the position of City Manager will be a position to be filled for a limited duration by a retired annuitant on an interim basis; (3) Certify that the appointment is necessary to fill a critically needed position sooner than 180 days after Mr. Rosenfield’s effective retirement date of April 1, 2022; (4) Temporarily appoint Mr. Rosenfield to the limited duration, retired annuitant position of Interim City Manager while the City Council completes its recruitment to fill the City Manager position on a permanent basis; and (5) Approve and authorize the Mayor/Mayor Pro Tempore to execute a retired annuitant employment agreement with Kenneth H. Rosenfield, P.E., for the position of Interim City Manager, which satisfies the CalPERS requirements for the temporary employment of a retired annuitant.

SUMMARY:

7.2.1 Packet Pg. 756
Temporary Appointment of Interim City Manager
March 22, 2022

Page 2 ends

Pending the selection of a new city manager, a process already initiated, but not completed, by the City Council, it is recommended that the City Council, pursuant to Government Code §§7522.56 and 21221(h), appoint Mr. Rosenfield to the soon-to-be vacant interim position of City Manager for a limited duration consistent with the requirements set forth in CalPERS regulations applicable to the employment of retired annuitants, which requirements are described below
BACKGROUND:

This item is related to the pending formal competitive selection process for filling the city manager position and has been placed on the agenda at the recommendation of the City Attorney. In preparation for selecting a new city manager, a process already initiated by the City Council, it is recommended that the City Council, pursuant to Government Code §§7522.56 and 21221(h), appoint Mr. Rosenfield to the interim position of City Manager for a limited duration consistent with the requirements set forth in CalPERS regulations applicable to the employment of retired annuitants, which requirements are described below.

In order for the City Council to appoint Mr. Rosenfield to this interim position after his retirement, the following conditions must be met:
• The City must have an active recruitment for a permanent replacement for the vacant position. As set forth above, the City currently has such an active recruitment in place.
• The City can only appoint a retired annuitant to an interim position during the period of recruitment and not in a permanent capacity. The City satisfies this requirement as well and only intends to employ Mr. Rosenfield until a new city manager is selected, and, potentially, for a short period thereafter for purposes of a limited transition only.
• Mr. Rosenfield would not be permitted to work more than 960 hours in a fiscal year. The City must enroll and report Mr. Rosenfield’s hours to CalPERS pursuant

7.2.1 Packet Pg. 757
Temporary Appointment of Interim City Manager
March 22, 2022

Page 3 ends

to Government Code section 21220.
• The City cannot compensate Mr. Rosenfield more than the maximum pay rate for the vacant position as listed on the employer’s publicly available pay schedule.

Mr. Rosenfield’s current salary set forth in the publicly available pay schedule is $269,000. It is therefore proposed that the City pay Mr. Rosenfield $129.33 per hour for appointment to this vacant limited duration position (which is the hourly equivalent of the salary currently associated with the position). • Mr. Rosenfield may not receive any additional benefits or compensation, other than reimbursement of business expenses.
• The City must certify that the position to which Mr. Rosenfield will be appointed is of a limited duration for a retired annuitant during its temporary vacancy. • The City must further certify that the appointment is necessary to fill a critically needed position sooner than 180 days after Mr. Rosenfield’s effective retirement date of April 1, 2022.

CONCLUSION:

After April 1, 2022, the position of City Manager will be vacant. While the City Council is actively engaged in a recruitment for a new City Manager, temporary assistance to perform the duties of this interim position is required. CalPERS regulations permit a retired annuitant to be employed by a CalPERS employer, such as the City, so long as the conditions set forth above are met. The attached retired annuitant employment agreement meets all of these conditions. It is therefore recommended that the agreement be executed by the City Council in order to temporarily appoint Mr.

Rosenfield to this interim position
FISCAL IMPACT:

Since Mr. Rosenfield will only be receiving an hourly rate of pay equivalent to his current salary and no additional benefits or compensation, there is a cost savings to the City by appointing him to this position on an interim basis as the budget for the current fiscal year included Mr. Rosenfield’s current pay and benefits.

ISSUE: Permanent Monument Memorializing the 3/5 Dark Horse Marine Battalion
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council: 1) Receive a presentation from Mike Bland on the installation of an existing Memorial Stone at the Community Center and Sports Complex, and 2) Defer the establishment of a Permanent Monument Memorializing the 3/5 Dark Horse Marine Battalion, pending further evaluation of the needs and opportunities for a monument through a Request for Proposal process for professional services as described herein.

establishment of a permanent monument memorializing the 3/5 Darkhouse Marine Battalion.

BACKGROUND:

At the February 22, 2022, City Council meeting, Mr. Mike Bland, and others, addressed the City Council with a request to place this subject matter on a future City Council meeting. The City Council concurred with this request. Prior to that City Council meeting, at its February 2, 2022, meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission was presented with a request from Mike Bland to install an existing Memorial Stone within the plaza area of the Community Center. His preferred installation locations were near the fountain in the plaza area or the grass area in the plaza area. Below are the Commissioners’ comments related to his request.
• Expand the monument to include all branches of the Military to include a more substantial monument to the armed forces.
• Engrave a phrase or slogan to reference other branches, either on the monument or on a donation bench.
• Installation locations:
- In front of the soccer field, in the flower bed behind the retaining wall. - In front of the Skatepark, along the sidewalk of Paseo De Valencia, near the fencing. There is more visibility from the street and more foot traffic. - At another park in Laguna hills.

City Council and Staff past Work Efforts
In July 2019, the City Council directed Staff to research and propose a process for the design, fabrication, and installation of a permanent memorial for the 3/5 Darkhorse Marine Battalion at the Civic Center. Subsequent to that meeting, Staff met with the City’s Public Art Consultant, Karen Robbins, Chair of Team Darkhorse, and Marine Major Joseph Patterson who was attached to the 3/5 during their historic deployment to Afghanistan. Based on these initial consultations, Staff returned to the City Council on October 8, 2019, with a recommended two-phase approach for completing the memorial project. The City Council, at this meeting, directed Staff to initiate Staff’s recommended two-phased approach completing the installation of a permanent memorial for the City's adopted 3/5 Darkhorse Marine Battalion at the Civic Center.
