The City of Lake Forest holds a Professional Consultant Services Agreement with EcoNomics, Inc. (“Agreement with EcoNomics”) for solid waste consulting services (Attachment 1). The scope of work includes the procurement of a new solid waste agreement, implementation of the new agreement, and ongoing consulting services. On April 2, 2024, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the Agreement with EcoNomics (“First Amendment”) which increased the total compensation under the Agreement by $165,000 for a total compensation amount of $512,440 (Attachment 2).
The procurement of the new solid waste agreement is complete, and EcoNomics is assisting the City with the implementation of this new agreement. Staff recommends approving a proposed Second Amendment to the Agreement with EcoNomics (“Second Amendment”) to extend the term under the Agreement to June 30, 2026, and increase compensation by $140,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $642,440 (Attachment 3). During the term extension, EcoNomics would continue assisting with the implementation of the new agreement and then transition to providing on-call technical consulting services. The proposed Second Amendment was prepared by the Finance Department and approved as to form by the City Attorney. As part of the current Franchise Agreement and the new Solid Waste Agreement, the City’s hauler, CR&R, will reimburse the City for the professional services of a solid waste consultant. There are sufficient funds in Fiscal Year 2024-25 of the 2023-2025 Operating Budget to cover the costs of the recommended actions.
Item: 5
36 BACKGROUND:
On February 1, 2022, the City Council approved an initial three-year Professional Consultant Services Agreement with EcoNomics, Inc., to perform solid waste consulting services in the procurement of new Solid Waste Agreements for Lake Forest and Laguna Hills. The scope of work includes the development of the request for proposal documents, the transition to the new solid waste agreement, and assistance in managing the new solid waste agreement (Attachment 1). The total compensation of the agreement was $347,440 and the term February 1, 2022, through January 31, 2025. On April 2, 2024, the City Council approved the First Amendment to the Agreement with EcoNomics which increased the total compensation under the Agreement by $165,000 for a total compensation amount of $512,440 (Attachment 2). The agreement includes two additional one- year extensions subject to the discretion of the City Council.
DISCUSSION:
In 2022, the City Council awarded a consulting agreement to EcoNomics, Inc. for assistance in the joint procurement with the City of Laguna Hills of a new Solid Waste Agreement (“SWA”). The EcoNomics Agreement identifies four phases of work as outlined in the table below:
Table 1:
Phase Scope of Work Status
1 Development of procurement documents Complete
2 Technical evaluation of proposals and selection
assistance Complete
3 Implementation of new Solid Waste Agreement In Progress 4 On-call consulting services regarding state
mandates and SWA compliance Begins July 1, 2025
In accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the City of Laguna Hills, the two cities shared consultant costs for Phases 1 and 2. During these phases, the City of Laguna Hills reimbursed the City of Lake Forest for 50% of consultant fees. The MOU terminated following the completion of Phase
2. Work completed by EcoNomics in Phases 3 and 4 is for the City of Lake Forest only. All work is billed on a time and materials basis.
Implementation of the SWA is currently in progress and EcoNomics is assisting the City in ensuring CR&R, the City’s selected solid waste services provider under the SWA, is compliant with all the stipulations of the SWA including meeting all deadlines, the purchase of truck and bin inventory, securing proper Item: 5
37 disposal space and permits, and conducting outreach to residents and businesses in the city. The SWA commences on July 1, 2025, and the scope of work will transition to on-call technical assistance in meeting state mandates such as Senate Bill 1383, and ensuring CR&R continues to meet the stipulations of the SWA.
To align the EcoNomics agreement with the annual cycles of the SWA, staff recommend utilizing the first of the two one-year optional extensions available to extend the agreement to June 30, 2026. A 17-month extension would also align the agreement with the fiscal year budget cycle. Additionally, EcoNomics requested a CPI adjustment to their hourly rates as allowed by the Agreement.
To complete the scope of work in Phases 3 and 4 during the proposed term extension, staff recommend increasing the compensation by $140,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $642,440. As part of the current Franchise Agreement, CR&R pays the City an AB939 Fee of approximately $55,000 annually for the provision of a solid waste consultant. In addition, the new SWA includes a $100,000 reimbursement from CR&R also to be used for the services of a solid waste consultant.
Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing and Contract Guidelines, staff completed a vendor performance assessment. The vendor assessment is used as a guide to determine whether a contract should be amended, renewed, or terminated based on performance in the following categories: performance of scope of services; timeliness; budget performance; and customer service. Utilizing an evaluation form, staff rated the consultant in each category. Table 2 below provides an overall summary of EcoNomics’ performance during the respective evaluation period of February 1, 2022, through December 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed Second Amendment to the Agreement with EcoNomics would add $140,000 for a total compensation amount of $642,440. As part of the current Franchise Agreement and the new Solid Waste Agreement, CR&R reimburses the City for the professional services of a solid waste consultant. There are sufficient funds in Fiscal Year 2024-25 of the 2023-2025 Operating Budget to cover the costs of the recommended actions.

76 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 1/28/2025
DEPARTMENT: Information Technology
SUBJECT:
FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH A&H COMMUNICATIONS, INC. FOR LOW VOLTAGE MAINTENANCE SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Approve the First Amendment to the Agreement with A&H Communications, Inc. for Low Voltage Maintenance.
2. Authorize the Mayor to sign, and the City Clerk to attest, the First Amendment to the Agreement, substantially in the form attached.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On February 10, 2022, the City entered into a three-year agreement with A&H Communications, Inc. (“A&H”) for low voltage system maintenance services (“A&H Agreement”). The A&H Agreement is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2025, and includes two optional one-year extensions based on performance (Attachment 1). Since its inception, A&H has provided essential maintenance services for the City’s low voltage systems.
The proposed First Amendment to the A&H Agreement (“First Amendment”) would utilize the first one-year extension option available under the A&H Agreement and provide an additional compensation amount of $45,950 for the additional year of services. The additional compensation includes a decrease to the annual cost of services to reflect a scope of work reduction related to the installation of upgraded video conferencing systems (Attachment 2). If approved, the First Amendment would extend the term of the agreement and bring the total compensation under the A&H Agreement to $258,650. The First Amendment to the A&H Agreement was prepared by the Finance Department, has been reviewed by the City Attorney, and is approved as to form. Sufficient funds are available in the 2023-2025 Operating Budget to cover the costs of the recommended action.
Item: 6
77 BACKGROUND:
On October 22, 2021, the City Manager approved a Request for Proposal (RFP) for low voltage maintenance services and authorized staff to solicit proposals.
After a competitive bidding process, the City Council awarded a three-year agreement to A&H in the amount of $212,700. The agreement, effective from February 1, 2022, to January 31, 2025, includes two optional one-year extensions, subject to performance and City Council approval.
The A&H Agreement includes services in the following areas:
Conducting bi-annual inspections and routine maintenance to ensure optimal system performance
Providing responsive support for service requests related to the City’s audio-visual (“A/V”) systems
Offering maintenance and technical support for City’s security systems Procuring and delivering low-voltage equipment, software, and related services as needed by the City.
Additionally, as part of the City’s Strategic Plan initiative SP #64 to integrate innovative technologies and enhance organizational efficiency, the City is upgrading its video conferencing systems in thirteen conference rooms at the Civic Center to be compatible with Microsoft Teams. This upgrade, referred to as the Video Conference System Upgrade Project ("Teams Project"), is currently underway and impacts the original scope of the A&H agreement. Golden Star Technology, Inc (“GST”), the vendor selected through a competitive process, is supporting the Teams Project and will provide one year of maintenance services following the project’s completion. As a result, A&H’s responsibilities related to maintenance of the upgraded system will be reduced for a one-year period.
DISCUSSION:
The A&H agreement includes comprehensive maintenance and support for the City’s A/V systems, including bi-annual inspections, equipment and software maintenance, service request responses, and documentation updates. Key deliverables under the agreement include service reports, as-built diagrams, and proactive communication regarding equipment needs.
Staff recommends approving a First Amendment to the A&H Agreement (Attachment 2). The proposed First Amendment would increase compensation by $45,950 for a revised total compensation amount of $258,650. It would also extend the term of the A&H Agreement to January 31, 2026, thereby exercising the first of the two optional one-year extensions in the A&H Agreement.
Item: 6
78 Additionally, the First Amendment reflects a decrease in the annual costs due to a scope of work reduction. Maintenance for the upgraded video conference system will be covered by GST for one year after the completion of the Teams Project.
Table 1 and Table 2 below outline Basic Maintenance and Contingency items over a four-year period. Hourly rates for extra work would remain the same, with no increases, under the proposed First Amendment.

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4

Table 2: Extra Work Hourly Rates
Role Rate

Lead Technician $132.50
Consultant $150.00
Project Manager $175.00
Staff believes that the proposed First Amendment aligns with the operational changes within the City and will allow for a seamless continuation of AV maintenance services. The City has worked effectively with A&H throughout the agreement, and their performance met or exceeded the contract's scope of work, particularly the responsibilities associated with Low Voltage Maintenance Services. Throughout the term of the A&H Agreement, the contractor demonstrated a willingness to respond to questions, address issues raised by the City, and complete tasks in a professional manner.
Pursuant to the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines, staff completes a vendor performance assessment during a proposed contract amendment. The vendor performance assessment is used as a guide to determine whether a contract should be amended, renewed, or terminated based on a vendor’s performance in the following categories: performance of scope of services; timeliness; budget performance; and customer service. Table 3 provides an overall summary of the contractor's performance since the inception of the contract.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 1/28/2025
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF COMPLETION FOR THE STREET SIDEWALK REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT PROJECT (OPS-2023-01)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Find that Cheloletty Engineering, Inc. has completed construction of the Street Sidewalk Repair and Replacement Project (OPS-2023-01)
2. Approve the Notice of Completion and authorize the Mayor to execute the document on behalf of the City.
3. Authorize the City Clerk to submit Notice of Completion for recordation to the Office of the County Recorder of Orange County within fifteen days of City Council approval, as required by Section 9204 of the California Civil Code.
4. Authorize staff to release any unencumbered retention in accordance with California law.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Public Works Department annually assesses the condition of city sidewalks.
Deficiencies found are placed into the City’s GIS data collection system to provide a scope of work for the annual Street Sidewalk Repair and Replacement Project.
On September 18, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Cheloletty Engineering, Inc. to complete the Project in the amount of $206,587.50. The Project began on October 7, 2024, and construction was completed November 26, 2024. The contract combined funding from two fiscal years to maximize locations and lower contractor bid pricing.
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Notice of Completion (Attachment 1), authorize the Mayor to execute the document, and release the five percent retention payment of $11,131.36 thirty days after recording the Notice of Completion, providing there are no stop notices for the project on file with the City.
Item: 7
118
BACKGROUND:
As part of the City’s general maintenance activities, reoccurring funding has been budgeted to remove and replace several sidewalk panels and other displacements within the pedestrian path of travel city-wide along residential and arterial streets.
On June 9, 2024, the City Manager authorized staff to solicit bids for the Street Sidewalk Repair and Replacement Project. The project scope of work consisted of removing and replacing approximately 7,477 square feet of sidewalk and removing and replacing 55 linear feet of curb and gutter. Bids for the Project were received on July 30, 2024, and subsequently vetted by staff. On September 18, 2024, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Cheloletty Engineering, Inc. to complete the Project in the amount of $206,587.50.
The project included one Contract Change Order (“CCO #1”) as a result of extending concrete sidewalk removal limits due to unforeseen sidewalk degradation. CCO #1 for the amount $16,039.75 was approved on November 27, 2024, under Article 3 of the construction contract with Cheloletty Engineering, Inc. which authorizes the City Manager to approve additional work not-to-exceed 10% of the original contract amount ($20,658.75). CCO #1 resulted in an increase to the contract to $222,627.25 ($206,587.50 + $16,039.75 = $222,627.25).
DISCUSSION:
Work began on October 7, 2024. The project removed and replaced several displaced sections of sidewalk within the pedestrian path of travel city-wide along residential and arterial streets. Cheloletty Engineering, Inc. substantially completed construction activities on November 26, 2024. The City’s construction manager conducted a final inspection to ensure the Project’s completion per the contract requirements.
The Notice of Completion establishes a date that limits the time subcontractors and material vendors may file stop notices or liens against the project. Following City Council approval, the City Clerk must submit the Notice of Completion to the Clerk Recorder of Orange County within 15 days of the City Council’s action, as required by Section 9204 of the California Civil Code. Following approval and recordation, the Notice of Completion establishes a 30-day period for subcontractors and material vendors to file stop payment notices and initiates the start date for the warranty period. Since the work has been completed and accepted by the City, staff recommends the City Council approve the Notice of Item: 7
119
Completion and release the retention payment 30 days after recording the Notice of Completion, providing there are no stop notices for the project on file with the City.
Approving the recommended actions would find the project complete, authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the Notice of Completion, and allow staff to release any unencumbered retention in accordance with California law.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If approved, thirty days after the recording of the Notice of Completion, the release of the five percent retention payment to the contractor in the amount of $11,131.36 will occur, provided no Stop Notices are on file with the City preventing the release of the retention payment. Sufficient funding exists for the recommended actions.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 1/28/2025
DEPARTMENT: Management Services
SUBJECT:
SHARING OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT RESOURCES
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Agreement by and between the City of Aliso Viejo, City of Laguna Hills, City of Lake Forest, City of Mission Viejo, and City of Laguna Niguel for sharing of emergency management resources.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
As the City continues to enhance its emergency preparedness program, having mutual aid agreements in place prior to an actual disaster or emergency is important, as the Emergency Operations Center (“EOC”) could be activated at any time. Most of the local jurisdictions in Orange County have one emergency manager to oversee operations in the EOC. There may be a time when the emergency manager is unavailable and the EOC requires activation. Through the partnership of the Orange County Emergency Management Organization (“OCEMO”), the South County emergency managers collaborate on training, exercises, and resource inventorying on a regular basis.
Working with staff from Best Best & Kreiger, LLP, staff from five South Orange County cities (including Lake Forest) have formulated a proposed Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”) that would provide for mutual aid in the region during emergencies (Attachment). The MOA would obligate the City of Lake Forest to provide certain shelter, staffing, and an EOC working space subject to availability for a limited time to cities party to the proposed MOA but also provide the benefit of receiving the same services should Lake Forest require them in the event of an emergency. There are no direct costs associated with the proposed MOA.
Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the Memorandum of Agreement by and between the City of Aliso Viejo, City of Laguna Hills, City of Lake Forest, City of Mission Viejo, and the City of Laguna Niguel for sharing emergency management resources (Attachment).
Item: 8

BACKGROUND:
Mutual aid and resource redundancy are critical aspects to a strong emergency preparedness program. The State of California and all local jurisdictions must comply with the Standard Emergency Management System (“SEMS”), which enables several statewide mutual aid systems for law enforcement, fire suppression, medical and mental health, and emergency management.
However, recent disasters, where the resources of local jurisdictions have been overwhelmed, have highlighted the need for more strategic and practical mutual aid planning efforts in emergency management among neighboring jurisdictions.
In November 2018, the devastating Woolsey Fire forced the City of Malibu to relocate their Emergency Operations Center (“EOC”) to the City of Santa Monica, request mutual aid EOC personnel, and utilize facilities outside of its city limits.
In other recent fires, impacted jurisdictions have requested assistance with additional capabilities, such as cross-jurisdictional alert and warning, and care and shelter operations. While many of these mutual aid requests were fulfilled, the requests could have been executed with a greater degree of efficiency and support had these local agencies formalized their mutual aid needs pre-disaster.
On November 12, 2019, the cities of Irvine, Laguna Beach and Newport Beach entered a Memorandum of Agreement (“ILN MOA”) for the purpose of sharing emergency management personnel, facilities, operational functions, and technology during significant events. The ILN MOA was updated in 2024 to include the University of California, Irvine. The ILN MOA has proven effective during recent emergencies, including the 2022 Emerald Fire when the City of Irvine activated a care and reception center for Laguna Beach evacuees; 2019 power outage in Irvine where the Laguna Beach Emergency Manager provided emergency management coverage for Irvine; and the 2020 Silverado Fire where the Newport Beach Emergency Manager provided emergency management coverage for Irvine.
The cities of Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, and Laguna Niguel all have a wildland area that is exposed to potentially devastating wildfires as well as other shared hazards. Additionally, all five jurisdictions have emergency management programs that collaboratively train and exercise their EOC staff and other response capabilities together. In response to the reality of the aforementioned cities’ shared hazards, emergency management staff from these South Orange County cities began meeting to form a collaborative agreement similar to the ILN MOA.
Item: 8
124
3 3
7 3
DISCUSSION:
The attached proposed Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”) would establish shared services arrangement between the cities of Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, Lake Forest, Mission Viejo, and Laguna Niguel (Attachment). There are a number of emergency management capabilities outlined in the proposed MOA which each City would agree to if approved:
•Allow 24-hour temporary use of its Emergency Operations Center (up to 10-14 days)
•Allow use of rooms, office space, tables, chairs, computers, phones, and WiFi access
•Allow 24-hour temporary use of City-designated shelter sites subject to availability (up to 10-14 days)
•Allow for cross-jurisdictional alert and warning redundancy •Commit the City to the sharing of emergency management personnel (up to 80 total hours) in the event an emergency is impacting another city party to the agreement, so long as the Lake Forest EOC is not also activated.
While the above would obligate the City to at least offer to respond and/or provide staff support to other cities party to the proposed MOA, the City would also benefit from reciprocal services offered by the other cities. The proposed MOA would enhance the City’s ability to respond to disasters and other emergency events, as it would expand the amount of facilities available for evacuation purposes and increase staff resources at no direct cost if additional personnel are needed. To date, both the Laguna Hills and Also Viejo City Councils have approved the agreement. Staff from the City of Laguna Niguel has indicated that no City Council approval is needed. Mission Viejo staff have indicated their intention to seek City Council approval at its January 28, 2025, meeting.
To further enhance the proposed MOA, the five cities will cross-train each of its emergency management personnel on the use of EOC and other public facilities, technology, procedures, and plans to seamlessly provide support to one another upon request. The proposed MOA will expedite mutual aid assistance during an emergency as well as support financial recovery efforts post-disaster. Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached proposed MOA for the sharing of emergency management resources (Attachment). The proposed MOA was prepared by Best Best and Krieger.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN CITY OF ALISO
VIEJO, CITY OF LAGUNA HILLS, CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CITY OF
MISSION VIEJO, AND CITY OF LAGUNA NIGUEL FOR SHARING OF
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT RESOURCES
THIS MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (“MOA”) is made and entered into this ___________ day of ____________, 2025, by and between the CITY OF ALISO VIEJO, the CITY OF LAGUNA HILLS , the CITY OF LAKE FOREST , the CITY OF MISSION VIEJO, and the CITY OF LAGUNA NIGUEL, hereinafter collectively referred as the PARTIES.
Article I. Purpose
The purpose of this MOA is to outline a cooperative relationship between the PARTIES for sharing of emergency management personnel, facilities, operational functions , and technology during significant events.
Article II. Background
Each of the PARTIES has a threat and hazard landscape that may create or exacerbate multiple catastrophic scenarios, and which could potentially require the need for emergency management support from each other. The PARTIES will augment existing emergency plans to include a detailed procedure for the activation and effectuation of this MOA.
In November 2018, the Woolsey Fire started, which forced the City of Malibu to relocate their E mergency Operations Center (“EOC”), request mutual aid EOC personnel, and utilize facilities outside of its city.
On November 12, 2019, the Cit ies of Irvine, Laguna Beach, and Newport Beach entered a Memorandum of Agreement for the purpose of sharing emergency management personnel, facilities, operational functions, and technology during significant events. The MOA was updated in 2024 to include the University of California Irvine. The MOA has been proven effective during emergencies including the 2022 Emerald Fire when the City of Irvine activated a care and reception center for Laguna Beach evacuees; 2019 power outage in Irvine where the Laguna Beach Emergency Manager provided emergency management coverage for Irvine; and the 2020 Silverado Fire where the Newport Beach Emergency Manager provided emergency management coverage for Irvine.
Like the City of Malibu, each of the PARTIES in this agreement faces hazards that could result in the need to relocate their EOC and the PARTIES do not have alternate EOC Item: 8
128
Memorandum of Agreement: City of Aliso Viejo, City of Laguna Hills, City of Lake Forest, City of Mission Viejo, and City of Laguna Niguel
locations outside of their jurisdictional boundaries. The PARTIES agree that an alternate EOC is critical to ensure essential public safety functions are carried out reliably under all circumstances during an emergency or disaster.
The PARTIES desire to aid and assist each other in the event that a disaster occurs, by the interchange of services and equipment to cope with emergency management related tasks and activities. Each city is desirous of providing a reasonable and reciprocal exchange of services where appropriate.
Like the Cities of Irvine, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach, each of the PARTIES in this agreement face hazards that could result in large scale evacuations or hazardous conditions making the use of facilities within the same city as the hazard unusable for emergency response. The PARTIES agree having alternate locat ions outside of their jurisdiction is critical to provide disaster services including evacuation centers and overnight emergency shelters for the public.
The PARTIES agree that during disasters, having redundant emergency management personnel, operational functions, and technology is extremely important and necessary.
Article III. Term and Termination
This MOA shall become effective on the final date of approval by the PARTIES, and the execution hereof by their respective authorized leadership, and shall remain in effect until terminated. This MOA may be terminated at any time, for any reason or without reason, upon written notice from any party to the others.
Article IV. Authorities
The PARTIES are each authorized to provide for the organization, mobilization, coordination and direction of disaster response services, both public and private, during a disaster. Such authority is granted by the California Emergency Services Act, the State of California Emergency Plan, the State of California Master Mutual Aid Plan, the County of Orange and Orange County Operational Area Emergency Operations Plan, the Orange County Operational Area Agreement , and the Emergency Operations Plans for the PARTIES.
Article V. Areas of Agreement and Methods of Cooperation

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 1/28/2025
DEPARTMENT: Management Services
SUBJECT:
PURCHASE OF 800 MHZ RADIOS
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
1. Adopt a Resolution entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE 2023-2025 OPERATING BUDGET; AMENDING APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2024-25.
2. Direct the Director of Finance/City Treasurer to issue the attached Purchase Order to Motorola Solutions in the amount of $114,990.22.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The 800 MHz Countywide Coordinated Communications System (“CCCS”) is a partnership between the County of Orange, its 34 cities, and five other participating agencies to provide centralized, interoperable radio communications for all public safety agencies in the County, as well as State and Federal agencies. In 2016, the City purchased 60 radios for Orange County Sheriff’s Department (“OCSD”) Deputies (“Deputies”) working on behalf of the City, as well as 4 radios for the City to use in emergencies. The City continues to pay an annual fee to cover the costs of maintaining and administering the infrastructure needed to maintain radio communications.
As the City has matured in its operations and expanded services, more situations require coordination and reliable communication afforded through the use of radios. Expanding the City’s inventory of 800 MHz radios would provide staff with an enhanced ability to coordinate day-to-day operations, including new programs such as the parking enforcement, community outreach and evening/late night code enforcement. The purchase and use of these radios would also enhance City responses to emergencies.
The first-year cost of expanding the City’s portable radio inventory by nineteen (19) radios is $114,990.22, with an estimated $11,400 maintenance cost each year thereafter (Attachment 1). This price reflects a $38,008.32 discount (about 26%) if purchased before February 4, 2025. To effectuate the purchase, staff recommends the City Council direct the Director of Finance/City Treasurer to Item: 9
138
issue the attached Purchase Order (Attachment 2). Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached budget resolution, which would appropriate $114,991 to the 2023-2025 Operating Budget for the recommended purchase (Attachment 3).
BACKGROUND:
The 800 MHz Countywide Coordinated Communications System (“CCCS”) is a partnership between the County of Orange, its thirty-four (34) cities and five (5) other participating agencies. The CCCS provides centralized, interoperable radio communications for all public safety agencies in the County, as well as State and Federal agencies that provide support and/or have relevant communications requirements. The CCCS is a nationally recognized communications model and has met or exceeded its originally identified goals. The system is credited with greatly facilitating public safety and emergency communications. In simple terms, the system includes antennas, dispatch consoles, radios, and software that allow public safety personnel throughout the County to communicate on a unified and coordinated system. The CCCS partnership is managed pursuant to a Joint Agreement between all the participating agencies (“Joint Agreement”) most recently approved by Lake Forest in 2021.
In 2016, the City purchased 64 new portable radios from Motorola Solutions to deploy with various OCSD units assigned to Lake Forest. Four of the radios purchased have been dedicated for use by City staff during emergencies when secure cell service may be unavailable or unreliable, or when City staff needs to monitor countywide radio communications. These radios were purchased in response to upgrades made to the CCCS to accommodate more reliable portable radios. The City pays approximately $68,000 per year to maintain its participation in the CCCS and receive support from the technology section of OCSD.
Shifting Needs in City Operations
As observed through different enforcement operations and severe weather events, City operations are evolving and require staff to deploy strategic solutions to address growing complexity. For instance, in early 2024, Lake Forest (and many other jurisdictions in the region) began to receive a high level of complaints related to illegal street vendors. These illegal street vendors would typically arrive in the early evening, begin cooking food on commercial-grade grilling equipment, and sell food late into the night. Operating without permits or necessary public health certifications, the vendors would frequently damage property and generate complaints from residents.
To address this, staff worked with Orange County Public Health and the Sheriff's Department after business hours. Enforcement actions have required Item: 9

coordinated communications beyond what could be achieved utilizing cell phones. Because of the dynamic nature of illegal vending enforcement, radio communications became necessary to allow all enforcement team members to monitor activities as they occurred. Radio communication was also needed to apprise the group simultaneously when vendors reestablished at the same or a new location within the community after initial enforcement actions.
Acquiring portable radios for staff to better respond to emergencies is another priority. Adding to the City’s inventory of radios serves the long term, strategic goal of the City to better respond to emergencies by deploying technology that is efficient and reliable. For instance, in the event of an emergency or during a weather warning, such as a strong wind event, staff would be able to rely on radios to have reliable communications should cellphone service become unavailable.
DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends the expansion of the City’s existing radio system by 19 portable radio units. The primary purpose of the radios is to maintain reliable communications during emergencies. In emergency situations, cell towers may become overwhelmed with activity or shut down completely due to lack of power.
Also, internet communications may prove unreliable during widespread power outages. Despite the widespread availability of cellphone and internet connectivity options, mobile radio systems (such as the CCCS) are a proven and reliable communication option, as their infrastructure is separate from cell phone and internet infrastructure. Table 1 below outlines the intended Divisions selected for use of the portable radios.

The total cost to purchase nineteen (19) handheld radio units (Motorola model APX6000 700/800) is $114,990.22 (Attachment 1). This price reflects a $38,008.32 discount (about 26%) if purchased before February 4, 2025. The ongoing cost of maintaining the extra nineteen (19) portable radios is projected to be $11,400 per year ($600 per radio). These radio purchases would be consistent with the radios currently issued to OCSD Deputies and compatible with the CCCS.
Typically, with a purchase of this magnitude, a bid process would be conducted in accordance with the City’s Purchasing and Contracting Guidelines (“Purchasing Guidelines”). However, the Purchasing Guidelines allow exceptions if the item(s) to be purchased is unique or is only available from a single source.
There is no practical alternative to the Motorola APX6000 700/800 radio that would be both compatible with the CCCS and consistent with the radios already issued to OCSD Deputies. The cost of the portable radios is pursuant to a pricing sheet negotiated by the County of Orange with Motorola Solutions that extends to the local entities participating in the CCCS.
Staff recommends the City Council approve the purchase of these 19 portable radios as a sole source procurement with Motorola Solutions because it is in the best interest of the City. The City is able to obtain this pricing through the County- operated and negotiated Master Agreement contract between the OCSD and Motorola. The pricing also includes a discount if the purchase is effectuated prior to the February 4, deadline. Therefore, it would be in the best interest of the City to purchase the radios using the pricing provided through the contract between OCSD and Motorola. This would be similar to authorizing a purchase through a cooperative agreement or an agreement that allows piggyback purchasing. To effectuate the purchase, staff recommends the City Council direct the Director of Finance/City Treasurer to issue a Purchase Order for the Quote provided (Attachment 2).
Since the 2023-2025 Operating Budget does not include sufficient funding to cover the costs of the portable radios, staff recommends the City Council approve the attached budget resolution, which would appropriate $114,991 to the 2023-2025 Operating Budget (Attachment 3).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the attached budget resolution would appropriate $114,991 to the 2023-2025 Operating Budget. The issuance of the attached Purchase Order would result in the procurement of 19 portable radios and associated equipment from Motorola Solutions.

SUBJECT:
LAKE FOREST MUNICIPAL CODE (LFMC) AMENDMENTS TO VARIOUS SECTIONS OF TITLES 9 (DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS), 5 (COMMERCIAL VENDING VEHICLES), 8 (FLOODPLAINS), 12 (BICYCLES ON PUBLIC PROPERTY/OVERSIZED VEHICLES), and 13 (CAMPING)
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Introduce for first reading an Ordinance Entitled: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING
VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE LAKE FOREST MUNICIPAL CODE TO MAKE
REFINEMENTS AND REVISIONS AND DETERMINING THE ORDINANCE TO
BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The proposed amendment to the Lake Forest Municipal Code (“LFMC”) includes the following:
1. Zoning Code Amendment 11-23-5675, a City-initiated zoning code amendment to amend various sections of the Zoning Code (Title 9 of the Lake Forest Municipal Code) and
2. Amendments to Titles 5 Business Regulations, 8 Buildings and Construction, 12 Vehicles and Traffic, and 13 Parks and Recreational Facilities.
General Plan Policy LU-2c encourages the City to periodically review and amend the Zoning Ordinance. In accordance with this policy, staff initiated Zoning Code Amendment 11-23-5675 (“ZC 11-23-5675”) that includes amendments to approximately 24 Zoning Code sections. The amendments are based on recurring public inquiries and recommendations by staff based upon communications with residents, brokers, architects, property owners, and business owners regarding code requirements. Generally, the amendments provide clarifications, create consistency with State law, create consistency between residential zoning districts, and promote economic development. On December 5, 2024, the Planning Commission reviewed ZC 11-23-5675 and recommended the City Council approve ZC 11-23-5675.
Item: 10

In addition to the Zoning Code Amendment, the attached ordinance includes amendments to the Lake Forest Municipal Code, to add a new Chapter 5.18 and Section 12.16.070, related to commercial vending vehicles, which include food trucks, in Title 5 and Title 12; amendments to the flood plain regulations (Chapter
8.70) in Title 8; add a new Code Section 12.24.050 related to the repair, sales, and storage of bicycles on public property in Title 12; and revisions to Section
13.20.050 related to camping on public property in Title 13.
BACKGROUND:
Zoning Code Amendment 11-23-5675 (Title 9 Changes)
When the City incorporated in 1991, the City’s first City Council adopted the County Zoning Code as the City’s Zoning Code, which can be found in Title 9 of the LFMC. In addition, the County’s Planned Community documents were adopted and incorporated into the Zoning Code. Together, the regulations found within the Zoning Code and the City’s ten planned communities serve to guide the growth and development of the city.
Since incorporation and the adoption of the City’s first Zoning Code, the City has adopted numerous ordinances that refined and updated the regulations within the Zoning Code. Over the past few years, the City’s planners have maintained a list of potential zoning code amendments. The list is based on recurring inquiries received from the public and experiences the planners have had communicating code requirements with residents, brokers, architects, property owners, and business owners. Generally, the list included, but was not limited to, code amendments to address the following:
•Code sections that were not clear or could be interpreted in multiple ways; •Code sections that made it difficult for residents to construct additions and/or accessory structures in some residential zoning districts; •New types of structures, signs, or businesses that were not addressed in the City’s Zoning Code;
•Unnecessary discretionary review of certain business types; and •New development trends.
This Zoning Code Amendment is an accumulation of recommended code amendments based on the staff’s actual experience working with the Zoning Code in the past few years.

Municipal Code Amendments to Titles 5, 8, 12, 13
Amendments to Title 5
In July 2024, the City Council approved changes to the City’s Sidewalk Vending Ordinance to provide additional tools to enforce the City’s Code. Those changes prompted a review of how the City ought to regulate vending from vehicles, such as food trucks. Staff, in coordination with the City Attorney, propose a new Chapter 5.18 to encourage entrepreneurship while protecting public health and safety. By establishing clear and concise guidelines and permit requirements, the City can mitigate potential safety, traffic, and health hazards associated with commercial vending vehicles in accordance with state law. This amendment provides both code enforcement and vending vehicle operators with clear standards for operations while maintaining food safety standards.
This amendment to regulate commercial vending vehicles also includes an update to the City’s oversized vehicle parking regulations in Section 12.16.070.
Amendments to Title 8
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) recently reviewed the City’s Flood Damage Prevention and Floodplain Management Ordinance, Chapter 8.70. Staff, in coordination with the City Attorney’s office, have incorporated the updates requested from FEMA to conform the City’s regulations of flood hazard areas to federal law.
Amendments to Title 12
Reports from law enforcement in numerous cities indicate that stolen bicycles are often taken to public areas shortly after they are stolen, where they are dismantled and sold for parts. These open-air bicycle “chop shops” have been observed throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties, but at present there is no mechanism for law enforcement in Lake Forest to prevent such unauthorized activity in these areas and restore stolen items to their lawful owners. This amendment proposes a new Chapter 12.24 to provide such legal mechanisms.
The other amendment to Title 12 would update the City’s regulation of oversized vehicle parking, in Section 12.16.070, to incorporate the new Code provisions regulating commercial vending vehicles.
Amendments to Title 13
In June 2024, the Supreme Court overruled a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision – Martin v. City of Boise. As a result, Section 13.20.050, regulating Item: 10
155
3 3
7 6
camping on public property, now contains an obsolete reference. The proposed amendment would remove the obsolete reference.
DISCUSSION:
This ordinance includes changes to the City’s Zoning Code (Title 9) and additional code amendments to Titles 5, 8, 11, and 13. Zoning Code Amendments have different regulatory requirements than code amendments to the rest of the Municipal Code. These requirements include undergoing Planning Commission review, California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") compliance review, and being considered through a noticed public hearing. As such, this discussion will be split into two sections: the Zoning Code Amendment and the other Municipal Code Amendments.
Zoning Code Amendment 11-23-5675 (Title 9 Changes)
City staff initiated Zoning Code Amendment (“ZC”) 11-23-5675, which includes amendments to approximately 24 different Zoning Code sections. On November 7, 2024, the Planning Commission received and filed staff’s presentation on the history of the City’s zoning and an introduction to ZC 11-23-5675. The Planning Commission reviewed the zoning code amendment at a public hearing on December 5, 2024, and adopted a resolution recommending approval by the City Council (Attachment 1). The draft ordinance showing the final amendments to the Zoning Code as recommended for approval by the Planning Commission is provided as Attachment 2. In addition, Attachment 3, shows all the proposed Zoning Code amendments in redlined format (with strike-through deletions and underlined additions).
Due to the large number of amendments in the proposed zoning code amendment, for the purpose of this report, the amendments are categorized as follows:
1. Clarifications and consistency with State laws,
2. Consistency between residential zoning districts, and
3. Promotion of economic development.
Clarifications and Consistency with State Law
Many of the proposed amendments are simple clarifications in the Zoning Code, with one change related to consistency with State law. Generally, the clarifications include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Modified definitions (e.g., removed “Convenience Store” and “Liquor Store” definitions);
Item: 10
156
3 3
7 6
•New definitions (e.g., added “Assembly,” Commercial,” and “Patio” definitions)
•Use of tables to clarify code sections; (e.g., created a table to show garage dimensions);
•Fixes of clerical errors (e.g., the Mixed-use land use matrix misspelled “Late night use”);
•Changes to reflect the City’s actual and best practices (e.g., codified policy related to outdoor dining); and
•Removal of a code section related to the previous Redevelopment Area (per State Law).
Attachment 4 lists all the proposed code amendments that are categorized as “Clarification and Consistency with State Law.” The table includes a summary of each amendment and the reason for the amendment.
Consistency Between Residential Zoning Districts
As previously mentioned, when the City incorporated, the City adopted the County’s Zoning Code and Planned Community documents into the Lake Forest Municipal Code. A planned community is a specific geographical area that is regulated by the corresponding Planned Community document, which functions like a mini-zoning code. As such, the City has some properties that are subject to regulations in zoning districts found in the City’s Zoning Code (Title 9 of the Municipal Code) and some properties that are subject to the regulations in zoning districts found in one of the City’s ten Planned Community documents.
By having zoning districts regulated by the Zoning Code and ten Planned Community documents, the result is approximately 36 different residential zoning districts in the city. The site development standards vary for each of the 36 different residential zoning districts. This zoning code amendment would create more uniformity in the regulations for the different single-family neighborhoods in different zoning districts. Most of the amendments in this category are related to the construction of accessory structures.
Regulations for accessory uses and structures are currently in Zoning Code Section 9.144.080. Accessory structures include, but are not limited to, patio covers, storage sheds, yard buildings, swimming pools, water features, fences, and walls. The existing code is very generic and utilizes the underlying zoning for setbacks of accessory structures over 6 feet in height. Larger setbacks, for instance, limit the locations where residential property owners may place an accessory structure in their rear yard.
The proposed zoning code amendment comprehensively updates and reorganizes this code section. The new code section includes graphics and Item: 10
157
3 3
7 6
tables to more clearly describe the regulations. In the new code section, development standards, such as minimum setbacks and maximum height, are based on the type of accessory structure, not the underlying zoning district. This means that a storage shed in any residential zoning district will have the same 5- foot rear setback requirement. The new code section also addresses new development trends in accessory structures, such as California rooms, freestanding fireplaces, TV walls, and waterfalls.
Attachment 5 lists all the proposed code amendments that are categorized as “Consistency Between Residential Districts.” The table includes a summary of the amendment and the reason for the amendment.
Promotion of Economic Development
This zoning code amendment includes amendments that are business friendly and will promote economic development without creating any land use impacts.
These code amendments include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Eliminate the requirement for an administrative Site Development Permit for veterinary offices and animal clinics and hospitals. In lieu of a discretionary process, these businesses will be permitted by-right and subject to revised animal care service regulations related to noise and animal waste.
•Allow “day care centers” in the A-1 Agricultural District with the approval of a Use Permit. Currently, day care centers are prohibited in this Zoning District. The County approved many religious institutions in the A1- Agriculture District. This amendment would allow these religious institutions to have day care centers with the approval of a Use Permit. •Add “parking stall designation sign” to the “Permanent Signs Permitted for Nonresidential Uses” table with new regulations. In the past few years, many businesses have begun to offer curbside pick-up/drive up services in conjunction with online ordering. These businesses utilize portable or permanently installed parking stall designation signs, such as “Pickup” “Drive Up,” or “Reserved Drive-Thru.” As this is a newer trend, the City’s Sign Code does not currently specifically address this type of signage. The regulations were developed by surveying existing parking stall designation signs in the city.
•Create a new parking standard for personal care services (which includes hair stylists and nail salons), massage establishments, and tattoo studios.
The proposed parking ratio is 1 parking stall per 250 square feet of gross Item: 10
158
3 3
7 6
floor area, which is consistent with the office parking ratio and would allow these uses in office buildings (if zoning allows the use). •Reduce parking ratio from 1 parking stall per 150 square feet of gross floor area to 1 parking stall per 250 square feet of gross floor area for medical clinics or offices, dental clinics or offices, and veterinarian hospitals and clinics. This will allow these types of businesses to go into most office buildings in the city (where zoning allows the use).
•Reduce parking ratio from 1 parking stall per 150 square feet of gross floor area to 1 parking stall per 200 square feet of gross floor area for dance studios, health studios and spas (gyms), and marital arts studios. This is consistent with the retail parking ratio and consistent with the parking for most shopping centers and retail buildings.
Attachment 6 lists all the proposed code changes that are categorized as “Promotion of Economic Development.” The table includes a summary of each amendment and the reason for the amendment.
Environmental Review for ZC 11-23-5675
ZC 11-23-5675 is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to the following sections of the State CEQA Guidelines:
•Section 15060(c)(2), the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment), •Section 15060(c)(3), the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378(a) because it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and Section 15378(b)(5) because the changes are administrative in nature and will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment, and
•Section 15061(b)(3), the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
Specifically, the zoning code amendment does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment because it involves minor refinements and clarifications to the Zoning Code, implements existing legal requirements, reflects the City’s actual and best practices, and the changes are administrative in nature and do not propose nor authorize any action that would have the potential to cause a physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. Therefore, the Zoning Code Amendment is not subject to CEQA.

Public Noticing for ZC 11-23-5675
In accordance with the requirements of Section 9.184.040(C)(2) of the Municipal Code of the City of Lake Forest, on January 17, 2025, this Zoning Code Amendment was noticed in a newspaper of general circulation and the public notice was posted at City Hall. In addition, the public notice was emailed to individuals who expressed interest in this Zoning Code Amendment.
Municipal Code Amendments to Titles 5, 8, 12, 13
Amendments to Title 5
The ordinance proposes a new Chapter 5.18, which creates a permit application and regulatory framework for commercial vending vehicles, such as food trucks.
Vendors would be required to properly register before operating within the City, which includes providing vehicle information, employee information, and providing a LiveScan. Further, time and location limits will be imposed, with vending in residential areas limited to 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and commercial areas limited from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (Exhibit 1 of Attachment 2).
The new regulatory framework for commercial vending vehicles includes an update to the City’s oversized vehicle parking regulations. Pursuant to case law, this update specifically exempts commercial vending vehicles from the prohibitions contained in Section 12.16.070. This means that the restrictions on oversized vehicle parking will not apply to these commercial vending vehicles.
Amendments to Title 8

SECTION 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the Recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein.
SECTION 2.The City Council finds that ZC 11-23-5675 is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to the following sections of the State CEQA Guidelines: Section 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment), Section 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378(a) because it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and Section 15378(b)(5) because the changes are administrative in nature and will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment), and Section 15061(b)(3) (the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment).
Specifically, the Ordinance does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment because it involves minor refinements and clarifications to the Zoning Code, implements existing legal requirements, reflects the City’s actual and best practices, and the changes are administrative in nature and do not propose nor authorize any action that would have the potential to cause a physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. Therefore, the Zoning Item: 10

SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council, and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council hereby finds that Zoning Code Amendment ZC 11-23-5675 is consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan. Specifically, the Zoning Code Amendment implements the following General Plan implementation actions:

•LU-2c Periodically review and amend (as needed) the Zoning Ordinance, City Subdivision Regulations, and Grading Regulations to provide consistency with new state legislation and court decisions. Review and amend Zoning Ordinance to clarify permitted and conditionally permitted uses in all districts.
•ED-3b Review, and update as necessary, zoning and other development regulations and application review and permitting process in order to ensure consistency with land use policies in this General Plan aimed at spurring job growth and economic development.

SECTION 29. Subsection 9.184.010(A) (Discretionary permits and procedures) of Title 9 of the Lake Forest Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety, as follows:
A. All permits included within Section 9.184.020 are discretionary permits. A discretionary permit is a permit issued or approved by the City of Lake Forest as the result of an application wherein the City retains the right to either approve or disapprove. This section provides the procedures and requirements for processing discretionary permit applications and the criteria and conditions considered to be necessary so that an appropriate decision regarding each such application may be made by the appropriate approving authority. A discretionary permit may have more restrictive site development standards than stated in a zoning ordinance in order to make the required findings per Section 9.184.040(E). Conversely, a discretionary permit may have less restrictive site development standards if allowed by the zoning ordinance for a planned community or specific plan and if the required findings per Section 9.184.040(E) can be made.
SECTION 30. Subsection 9.184.020(D) (Discretionary permits and procedures) of Title 9 of the Lake Forest Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety, as follows:
D. Site Development Permits. The purpose of a site development permit is to ensure that new development conforms to the development and design provisions of the zoning code. Site plans are included within the term “site development permit.” A site development permit is required for all projects which involve building construction except the following:
1. Individual single-family dwellings on existing single-family lots and alterations to single-family dwellings or associated accessory structures, unless a site development permit is otherwise required.
Item: 10

2. Minor modifications to an existing structure, which the director determines will not result in a significant change in exterior appearance.
3. Accessory structures and building additions under 500 square feet in floor area.
A site development permit is also required to permit land uses as specified in the zoning code. Uses which require a site development permit are regarded as having a relatively low potential for adverse impacts on the subject site or surrounding community due to the nature or magnitude of the use vis-à-vis the sensitivity of the subject site or surrounding community.
A site development permit is a precise plan of development and shall include the same elements described in subsection C above for use permits.
A site development permit shall be processed per
Section 9.184.040(D), “Administrative action,” unless the Director of Community Development determines on a case-by-case basis that the public interest would be better served by a public hearing before the Planning Commission. In such cases, the site development permit shall be processed per Section 9.184.040(C). No public hearings are required for site development permit applications for Class 1 and Class 6 wireless communication facilities or Class 5 wireless communication facilities located in non-residential zones.
Establishment, maintenance, and operation of the use or uses proposed by the application shall be in compliance with the information and specifications shown on the approved site development permit.
SECTION 31. Subsection 9.184.070 (F) (Discretionary permits and procedures) of Title 9 of the Lake Forest Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety, as follows:
F. Approving Authority. If the approving authority which granted a permit is no longer in existence or no longer issues such permits, the authority which would issue such permit at the time revocation is to be considered shall be the “approving authority” as that term is used in this section. If the discretionary permit was approved administratively by the Director of Community Development, the approving authority for the revocation shall be the Planning Commission.

Exhibit 2
Chapter 8.70 Flood Damage Prevention and Floodplain Management. § 8.70.010 Statutory authorization.
This article is authorized by virtue of Government Code Sections 65302, 65560 and 65800, which confer upon local governments the authority to adopt regulations designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. (Ord. 41 § 1, 1993; Ord. 325 § 3, 2019)
§ 8.70.015 Findings of fact.
A. The flood hazard areas of the City of Lake Forest are subject to periodic inundation which results in loss of life and property, health and safety hazards, disruption of commerce and governmental services, extraordinary public expenditures for flood protection and relief, and impairment of the tax base, all of which adversely affect the public health, safety and general welfare.
B. These flood losses are caused by the cumulative effect of obstructions in areas of special flood hazards which increase flood heights and velocities, and when inadequately anchored, damage uses in other areas. Uses that are inadequately floodproofed, elevated or otherwise protected from flood damage also contribute to the flood loss.
(Ord. 41 § 1, 1993; Ord. 325 § 3, 2019)
§ 8.70.020 Statement of purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare, and to minimize public and private losses due to flood conditions in specific areas, by provisions designed to:
A. Protect human life and health;
B. Minimize expenditure of public money for costly flood control projects; C. Minimize the need for rescue and relief efforts associated with flooding and generally undertaken at the expense of the general public; Item: 10

D. Minimize prolonged business interruptions;
E. Minimize damage to public facilities and utilities, such as water and gas mains, electric, telephone and sewer lines, streets and bridges located in areas of special flood hazard;
F. Help maintain a stable tax base by providing for the second use and development of areas of special flood hazard so as to minimize future flood blight areas;
G. Ensure that potential buyers are notified that property is in an area of special flood hazard; and
H. Ensure that those who occupy the areas of special flood hazard assume responsibility for their actions.
(Ord. 41 § 1, 1993; Ord. 325 § 3, 2019)
§ 8.70.025 Methods of reducing flood losses.
In order to accomplish its purposes, this chapter includes methods and provisions for:
A. Restricting or prohibiting uses which are dangerous to health, safety and property due to water or erosion hazards, or which result in damaging increases in erosion or flood heights or velocities;
B. Requiring that uses vulnerable to floods, including facilities which serve such uses, be protected against flood damage at the time of initial construction;
C. Controlling the alteration of natural floodplains, stream channels, and natural protective barriers, which help accommodate or channel flood waters;
D. Controlling filling, grading, dredging, and other development which may increase flood damage; and
E. Preventing or regulating the construction of flood barriers which will unnaturally divert flood waters or which may increase flood hazards in other areas.

If the City Council identifies a class or category of signs to be abated, the Director of Community Development shall provide notice to every owner of a nonconforming sign advising said owner of the determination of nonconformity and the presumed amortization period. The owner shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the notice to request a hearing pursuant to subsection D of this subsection for an individualized determination of the useful life of such sign and the appropriate amortization period. If the owner fails to request a hearing, the presumptive amortization period shall apply after which such sign shall be illegal and subject to abatement by the City.
D. Amortization—Individualized Determination and Hearing. If the owner of the nonconforming sign believes the presumptive amortization period is not fair and reasonable, the owner may request a hearing before a hearing officer. The City Council may designate the hearing officer by resolution.

9.184.010 Discretionary permits and procedures.
A. Discretionary Actions. All permits included within Section 9.184.020 are discretionary permits. A discretionary permit is a permit issued or approved by the City of Lake Forest as the result of an application wherein the county City retains the right to either approve or disapprove. This section provides the procedures and requirements for processing discretionary permit applications and the criteria and conditions considered to be necessary so that an appropriate decision regarding each such application may be made by the appropriate approving authority. A discretionary permit may have more restrictive site development standards than stated in a zoning ordinance in order to make the required findings per Section 9.184.040(E). Conversely, a discretionary permit may have less restrictive site development standards if allowed by the zoning ordinance for a planned community or specific plan and if the required findings per Section 9.184.040(E) can be made.
9.184.020 Types of permits.
Item: 10
286
55136.00400\42582392.1
27 D. Site Development Permits. The purpose of a site development permit is to ensure that new development conforms to the development and design provisions of the zoning code. Site plans are included within the term “site development permit.” A site development permit is required for all projects which involve building construction except the following:
1. Individual single-family dwellings on existing single-family lots and alterations to single-family dwellings or associated accessory structures, unless a site development permit is otherwise required.
2. Minor modifications to an existing structure, which the director determines will not result in a significant change in exterior appearance.
3. Accessory structures and building additions under 500 square feet in floor area.
A site development permit is also required to permit land uses as specified in the zoning code. The purpose of a site development permit is to provide for the administrative review of detailed development plans for a use. Uses which require a site development permit are regarded as having a relatively low potential for adverse impacts on the subject site or surrounding community due to the nature or magnitude of the use vis-à- vis the sensitivity of the subject site or surrounding community.
A site development permit is a precise plan of development and shall include the same elements described in subsection C above for use permits.
A site development permit shall be processed per Section 9.184.040(D), “Administrative action,” unless the Director of Community Development determines on a case-by-case basis that the public interest would be better served by a public hearing before the Planning Commission. In such cases, the site development permit shall be processed per Section 9.184.040(C). No public hearings are required for site development permit applications for Class 1 and Class 6 wireless communication facilities or Class 5 wireless communication facilities located in non-residential zones.
If the land use regulations of a planned community or specific plan allow a site development permit or site plan to authorize a use not specifically identified as permitted by the enabling ordinance, such site development permit shall always require a public hearing before the Planning Commission per Section 9.184.040(C).
Establishment, maintenance, and operation of the use or uses proposed by the application shall be in compliance with the information and specifications shown on the approved site development permit.
9.184.070 Revocation
F. Approving Authority. If the approving authority which granted a permit is no longer in existence or no longer issues such permits, the authority which would issue such permit at the time revocation is to be considered shall be the “approving authority” Item: 10
287
55136.00400\42582392.1
28 as that term is used in this section. If the discretionary permit was approved administratively by the Director of Community Development, the approving authority for the revocation shall be the Planning Commission.

1 Proposed Zoning Code Amendments
Clarification and Consistency with State Law
Zoning
Code
Section
Brief Explanation of Zoning
Code Amendment
Justification for Zoning Code
Amendment
9.04.030
Modify the definition of
“Alcohol Sales for Off-Site
Consumption”
The current definition of “Alcohol Sales
for Off-Site Consumption” includes a
Type 85 Alcoholic Beverage Control
license. A Type 85 license is a “limited
off-sale wine license,” that prohibits
the licensee from conducting sales
directly to a customer from their
business location. As such, all sales
have to be made online or on the
phone, and delivered directly to the
customer. This difference eliminates
most of the secondary impacts of
alcohol sales that occur by customers
at a business selling alcohol. As such,
staff has removed this license type
from the definition.
9.04.030
Added new definition for
“Commercial Assembly”
The current Zoning Code includes
non-commercial assembly uses, but
does not include commercial assembly
uses. Examples of commercial
assembly uses would be professional
counseling or health and wellness
programs for large groups that charge
a fee for the service.
9.04.030
Remove the definition of
“Convenience Store.”
“Convenience store” was removed
from the land use matrix by Ordinance
302 and therefore a definition is not
necessary.
9.04.030
Modify the definition of
“Dwelling Unit” to clarify that
a dwelling unit has one
kitchen and has internal
circulation
The current definition of a dwelling unit
mentions one or more rooms, with one
of those rooms being a kitchen.
However, the definition is broad in that
a house could potentially have multiple
kitchens and rooms without being
internally accessible (ex. attached but
no interior connection). The modified
definitions clarifies that all rooms
within a dwelling unit must have
internal circulation and only one
kitchen per dwelling unit.

The current definition of a habitable
room is broad and could potentially
allow for multiple habitable rooms to
be constructed on a property, both
detached and attached, without having
internal circulation to the dwelling unit.
This clarification will assist staff in

(ex. ADU and Accessory Structure
regulations).

However, discretionary applications
which are approved by the Director of
Community Development are not
subject to a public hearing. As

Change the lot coverage from

Residential Single-Family
District.
There are approximately 1,219 parcels
zoned RS in the City. 601 of these
parcels are also designated with the
Planned Development (PD) combining
district. The PD district allows for
deviations from development
standards, including lot coverage.
When many of the residential tracts in
the RS-PD zoning district were
approved by the County, their lot
coverages exceeded the 35%. The
County did not provide any
documentation about which tracts had
the deviations approved. This makes it
difficult for these residents to modify
their residences. Additionally, the 35%
lot coverage is the most restrictive lot
coverage in the City. The 60% lot
coverage requirement is consistent
with other residential zoning districts,
with similar setbacks, in the City’s Lake
Forest Planned Community and
Rancho De Los Alisos Planned
Community. This change will also

9.144.080.2 Modified the patio covers
section to expand what is
considered a patio cover and
established development
standards (setbacks, height,
and openings).
The current section contained broad
regulations and did not clearly state
regulations for detached patio covers.
This amendment clarifies the
applicability of these regulations and
expands what constitutes a patio. In
addition, this amendment establishes a
maximum height that aligns with the
California Building Code requirements
and clarifies how the setbacks are
measured.
9.144.080.3 Adding new regulations for

Removed an obsolete section
pertaining to satellite dish antennas

prevent structures of this nature from

other mechanical equipment
Expanded the applicability of this code
section to also cover water features

a setback area as opposed to the
maximum height allowed by the
underlying zoning district which can be
up to 35 feet.
The code amendment allows taller

other code sections pertaining to
accessory structures and land uses.
This amendment would create new
regulations specific to yard buildings
that are not intended for habitable
purposes (ex. storage sheds and

owners to gain greater flexibility in the

The City has been processing Site
Development Permits for some animal

a Site Development Permit, City staff is
recommending modifying the
regulations to address the same issues
that are reviewed during the Site
Development Permit process. These
regulations relate to sound attenuation,
air conditioning, waste bag and
disposal bins, and OC Animal Care
permits. These regulations would be

individuals and small groups). Of the
office types outlined in the parking
code, both medical offices and
veterinary hospitals have a more
intense parking ratio of 1 space for
each 150 sq. ft. of gross floor area
while all other offices have a parking
requirement of 1 space for each 250
sq. ft. of gross floor area. Unless the
office building/office park was
specifically developed for medical uses,
this parking requirement limits the
locations where medical offices and
veterinary hospitals may operate to a
handful of locations within the City. This
especially becomes difficult to enforce
when medical offices are permitted by
right in the same zoning districts as
other offices. Unless the business
owner contacts the City about the
zoning requirements, or constructs
tenant improvements that requires
building permits, it is difficult for code
enforcement staff to verify if a medical
office was legally established in an
office building. This amendment would
