COUNCIL AGENDA
April 25, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Approval of Signing a Protest Letter against Water Replenishment District of Southern California Proposed Upper Limit Replenishment Assessment Increase of
8.7% for Fiscal Year 2023-2024
INTRODUCTION
On February 15, 2023, the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) began its budgetary process to establish FY 2023-2024 replenishment assessment (RA) rate. As part of this process, the WRD Budget Advisory Committee (BAC) consists of seven (7) staff representatives from seven (7) pumpers, reviewed and evaluated WRD’s proposed spending, estimated pumping and various budgetary scenarios to determine and recommend the upper limit increase for the RA to the WRD Board of Directors (Board).
On March 7, 2023, after numerous discussion and extensive evaluation of the proposed budgetary scenarios, the BAC Committee voted and recommended the upper limit increase to the RA at 2.5%.
The upper limit increase sets a threshold for how high a rate increase can be implemented.
On March 9, 2023, WRD Board subsequently approved an upper limit increase of 8.7% to the RA, nearly 3.5 times higher than that of the BAC recommendation. On March 10, 2023, WRD began notifying active pumpers within its service area of the proposed 8.7% upper limit increase approved by the Board and set a Public Hearing for May 2 2023 at its headquarters to accept oral and written testimony from active pumpers including protest.
STATEMENT OF FACT
On March 7, 2023, members of the BAC Committee recommended an upper limit increase of
2.5% to the RA for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The 2.5% upper limit threshold was determined based on the estimated revenue from 200,000 acre-feet of pumping for FY 2023-2024 and included the use of $5.8 million from WRD’s reserve.
In reviewing historical trends, the BAC Committee noted that pumping within Central and West basins on average was recorded at 217,000 acre-feet per year over the last 10 years despite two cycles of droughts from 2012-2015 and from 2020-2022. With drought restrictions lifted, the BAC Committee determined that it was reasonable to assume pumping over next year would increase due to higher demand for outdoor watering. The BAC Committee also determined that WRD’s total reserves has grown steadily over the years and that it was prudent to supplement rate increases with reserves to keep rates affordable for the pumping community.
Approval of Signing WRD Protest Letter against Upper Limit RA Increase of 8.7% April 25, 2023
On March 9, 2023, the WRD Board approved the upper limit increase of 8.7% based on the estimated pumping revenue of 195,000 acre-feet and the use of $3 million in reserve. As WRD is required to follow the Prop 218-like process, it began notifying active pumpers that the Board has approved the upper limit increase of 8.7% and set the Public Hearing for May 2, 2023 at 10 AM at its Headquarters. Since the Board’s approval of the RA upper limit threshold at 8.7% on March 9, 2023, members of the BAC Committee continued to meet on March 28 and April 11, 2023 to determine and recommend a final RA to the Board. During those meetings, the BAC Committee requested additional financial information including details on WRD’s proposed water purchases for replenishment, operational expenses to run its facilities, and complete breakdown of net revenue reserves. Upon further review of the additional information provided by WRD staff, the BAC Committee determined that pumping for FY 2023-2024 would likely be in the range of 205,000 acre-feet or more, since total pumping within the basin has never dipped below 201,000 acre-feet per year in any single year over the last 10 years.
With drought restrictions lifted and additional wells expected to resume pumping due to previous PFAS rehabilitation and a recent discovery that WRD has a total reserve of approximately $99 million, segmented in various accounts holding excessive limits, the BAC Committee voted on April 11, 2023 to approve a recommendation for a zero percent (0%) increase to the RA for Fiscal Year 2023-2024. The votes were 5-2 with Lakewood, Whittier, Lomita, Cal Water and Golden State voting YES and Long Beach and Torrance voting NO.
Following the final BAC meeting on April 11, 2023, the WRD Finance and Audit Committee met on April 12, 2023 and voted to approve a recommendation to the Board for a 3.1% RA increase to be adopted at its May 2, 2023 Public Hearing meeting.
SUMMARY
On March 9, 2023, the WRD Board approved an upper limit increase of 8.7% to the RA. Since then, Lakewood and Whittier staff who are members of the BAC Committee have spearheaded an effort to protest against this upper limit increase. Lakewood and Whittier staff drafted a protest letter and solicited participation from active pumpers within WRD’s service area. The goal of the protest is to garner a majority support from active pumpers to oppose WRD’s proposed upper limit increase of 8.7%, remind WRD the important role that the BAC Committee represents and the collective desire of the active pumpers to keep water rates low and affordable.
As indicated in the WRD’s Public Hearing Notice, “the Board will not approve an increase to the current assessment if it receives written protests from more than 50% of active pumpers”.
Since the Board has approved an upper limit threshold that was 3.5 times higher than the BAC recommendation, the BAC Committee members who voted for the 2.5% upper limit felt compelled that a protest is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve signing of a protest letter against WRD’s proposed upper limit RA increase of 8.7% and authorize the mayor to sign on behalf of the city.

COUNCIL AGENDA
April 25, 2023
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
SUBJECT: Allocate additional funds for sidewalk service request repairs
INTRODUCTION
The City has annually budgeted $400,000 in the Public Works Operating Budget to address citywide sidewalk repairs primarily from Measures M and R. However in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget, the amount was increased to $680,000 plus an additional $75,522 from Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds. On February 14, 2023 Council authorized an additional $1,200,000 to complete high priority sidewalk repairs citywide.
STATEMENT OF FACT
With the additional Council authorization, CJ Construction has completed over 900 locations identified as high priority prior to December 2022. However there are an additional 325 that remain to be completed estimated to cost $404,000. In order to complete the identified locations, staff is requesting an additional $500,000 which includes a contingency of $96,000 for items that may be identified prior to the end of the fiscal year.
There are available funds in Measures M and Measure R, which are one-half cent sales tax measures approved by Los Angeles County voters earmarked for the Local Return Programs to be used by cities in developing and/or improving local public transit, paratransit and related transportation infrastructure. Currently the City has an unappropriated fund balance of $5,094,000 in Measure M and $4,370,000 in Measure R funds.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Authorize Measure R funds in the amount of $250,000 to be utilized for sidewalk repairs citywide.
2. Authorize Measure M funds in the amount of $250,000 to be utilized for sidewalk repairs citywide.

Prior to final inspection of an ADU, the hosting primary dwelling unit shall be completed with a successful final inspection allowing occupancy that is completed prior to, or concurrently with, a successful final inspection of the ADU, allowing ADU occupancy. Any required demolition plan check for a detached garage conversion or allowed ADU replacement structure shall be processed with permits and inspections concurrently with those required for the ADU.
The proposed construction of an ADU may be: 1) a modification of an existing or proposed permitted primary dwelling unit, or an existing or proposed permitted accessory building or 2) the construction of a new attached or detached accessory building. ADUs are allowed in all zone districts allowing single-family and multiple-family dwelling units, as well as those allowing mixed uses.
An ADU shall provide a completely independent dwelling unit, including facilities for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation for one or more persons. An allowed ADU includes a minimum 150 square-foot “efficiency unit” as defined in Section 17958.1 of the California Health and Safety Code and a minimum 320 square-foot “manufactured home” as defined in Section 18007 of the Health and Safety Code. ADUs shall comply with the following standards:
A. ALLOWED ADUs. ADUs shall only be allowed as follows:

(b) One ADU is allowed only as new construction of an attached or detached ADU.
These ADUs shall be in combination with either an existing or proposed host singlefamily dwelling unit within zoning districts that allow single-family dwelling units or as an existing non-conforming single-family dwelling unit within zoning districts that do not allow single-family dwelling units. The zone districts that allow single-family dwellings are: R-1 (Single-Family Residential), R-A (Single-Family Residential Limited Agriculture), A (Agriculture), and PD- SF (Planned Unit Development – Single Family). In addition to the two allowed ADUs on such lots, a JADU and a second primary dwelling unit are also allowed as elsewhere specified by this Code and state law. In no instance shall the combination of allowed dwelling units exceed more than four (4) dwelling units on any lot existing on January 1, 2022 zoned and/or used for single-family dwelling unit purposes.
2. Multiple-Family Residential. The City shall ministerially approve through an application for a Building and Safety plan check to allow no more than two external fully detached ADUs within an existing or proposed multifamily complex with two or more attached units on a lot zoned for either multiple-family residential uses or mixed uses.
Ordinance No. 2023-1
In addition, at least one more internal attached ADU is allowed to be created from existing or proposed non-habitable space within the existing or proposed multifamily dwelling unit or mixed-use residential building, including their attached garages. In addition to these three allowed ADUs within any multifamily dwelling unit or mixed-use complex, more internal ADUs are allowed to be created from existing or proposed non- habitable residential space, provided the total number of such internal ADUs does not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of the existing or proposed primary multifamily attached dwelling units permitted on the property. Any remaining percentage resulting in a partial unit shall be rounded down to the next full unit.
Zoning districts that allow multifamily dwelling unit complexes are the M-F-R (MultipleFamily Residential), PD-MF (Planned Unit Development – Multiple Family) Zones and any mixed-use zone districts that allow multifamily dwellings. In the MFR, PD-MF, and any mixeduse zone district, there shall be an existing or proposed primary multifamily residential dwelling unit complex with two or more attached units to host ADUs in compliance with multifamily ADU standards. A non-conforming single dwelling or multiple detached dwelling units on such lots may host ADUs, in conformance with procedures for zone districts allowing single-family residential uses.
B. ADU Construction. An ADU shall be constructed as one of the following: a) a new fully detached accessory building; b) an addition to an existing or proposed primary or accessory structure; or c) a remodel and conversion of existing or proposed space contained within either an existing or concurrently proposed primary dwelling unit or an existing or concurrently proposed accessory structure, including, but not limited to, a garage, carport, studio, pool house, or other similar structure.
C. ADU REVIEW. The City shall ministerially review building permit applications for any proposed ADUs, in conformance with this Code and with Section 65852.2 of the California State Government Code, as currently adopted and as subsequently amended from time to time, in the future. ADUs shall be approved in accordance with the following:
1. Building and Safety Review. Prior to the City accepting an application for Building and Safety plan check review to permit a proposed ADU, all plans, materials, and associated fees necessary for such a review shall be submitted, reviewed, and accepted as complete. These materials shall include all required plans, structural calculations, Title 24 energy calculations, and all other documents required for the plan check and code compliance review to commence. These plans and related materials shall all be properly prepared in an accurate complete manner and compliant with all related City adopted versions of the uniform construction codes, Lakewood Municipal Code regulations along with any locally approved objective development standards and application procedures.
Failure to provide all required materials in a proper and accurate manner shall result in the application not being accepted for processing and returned as incomplete. In the instance when plans are not accepted or are denied, they shall then be returned to the property owner or designated representative accompanied with a full set of written comments listing the items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied.
(a) Screening. Among the required materials to be submitted to Building and Safety shall be a site plan, roof plan, floor plan and elevations that have been screened and confirmed by planning to comply with the objective design standards contained in or Ordinance No. 2023-1
referenced by the Lakewood Municipal Code and state law. This pre-building permit application screening review shall be completed by city planning through the Ministerial Staff Review (MSR) procedure.
(b) Host Home. No ADU shall receive a final inspection until there is an existing primary residential dwelling unit on the property to host the ADU. (c) Demolition. Building and Safety shall review, process, and permit any required demolition plan concurrently with the proposed ADU for any detached garage conversion or an ADU replacement structure within the same footprint as the detached garage that is proposed to be demolished.
2. Sixty-Day Review. The overall review time between the acceptance of the Building and Safety plan check application as complete with all required materials, full payment of applicable fees and the date the permits are issued shall not exceed 60 business days. If the City has not approved or denied the completed application for Building and Safety plan check and issued building permits within 60 business days, the application shall be deemed approved. However, failure by the property owner to provide in a timely and correct manner any requested materials, documents, calculations, corrected plans and/or payment of fees shall be grounds for denial of the project and termination of the 60-day review timeline, as determined appropriate by the Director of Community Development. (a) Defect Notification. In the instances when plans that have been accepted for review are subsequently denied, the 60-day limit will be terminated, and the plans shall be returned by the City to the property owner or designated representative accompanied with a full set of written comments from the City listing the items that are defective or deficient and a description of how the application can be remedied.
Once the plans are resubmitted and are successfully accepted as complete, then a new 60-day processing timeline shall be initiated.
(b) Good Faith Processing. The property owner shall act in good faith and respond in a timely manner when corrections are requested. If it is determined that it will take more than 5 business days to respond, then the property owner should file an extension of time to continue the processing timeline beyond the 60-day limit. Failure by the property owner to respond in a reasonable and timely manner by submitting corrected plans or by requesting a time extension shall be grounds for denial of the project, as determined appropriate by the Community Development Director before the lapse of the 60-day review period.
3. ADU Delayed Enforcement. Upon a written request by a property owner proposing an ADU, the City shall delay enforcement of any violations of building standards (e.g., unpermitted construction) for five years, where such enforcement would delay the ADU construction and where the Community Development Director has determined that the enforcement of the standard is not necessary to protect public health or safety.
Notwithstanding the above, there shall be no required delay of enforcement actions seeking correction of unpermitted or unsafe conditions that are not otherwise related to the construction of the proposed ADU.
D. ADU DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS. The following standards are required for the construction of an ADU:
1. Existing Habitable Accessory Structures. In addition to a primary dwelling unit and one allowed JADU, there shall be no more than two ADUs or any other -permitted Ordinance No. 2023-1
habitable structures (e.g., SB9 2nd DU). A maximum of four dwelling units, including one JADU, are allowed on a lot in any zone allowing single-family residential uses. In the instance of a lot in a zone district allowing single family residential dwelling units, created after January 1, 2022, there shall be no more than two dwelling units of any type on such lots, including the primary dwelling unit, and then either an ADU, a JADU and/or a second dwelling unit, as allowed by state law.
2. ADU Setbacks. An ADU shall have minimum setbacks, as follows:
(a) Side Yard. Minimum of four (4) feet.
(b) Rear Yard. Minimum of four (4) feet.

(d) Eave to Eave. Minimum 4-foot setback between eaves of any new construction on a lot, unless attached.
(e) Existing Structures. No additional setback shall be required for construction of an ADU, that is a conversion of an existing living area or an accessory structure or that is construction of an ADU that replaces an existing building in the same location with the same dimensions as it was prior to demolition. Also, an addition of no more than 150 square feet for ingress and egress is allowed.
(f) Fire Access. All setbacks shall be sufficient for fire and safety access, as determined by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
3. ADU Floor Area.

Construction of an ADU shall not be subject to any zoning regulations regarding standards for size based upon a percentage of the existing or proposed primary dwelling, or limits on lot coverage, floor area ratio, open space, front yard setback area, and/or a minimum lot size, that would prevent construction of an ADU that is at least eight hundred (800) square feet in area with fourfoot side and rear yard setback areas. Such ADUs shall be constructed in compliance with all other local development standards.
8. ADU Utility and Infrastructure Adequacy. The City may determine that there are areas in the City that have inadequate utility capacities for either source, storage distribution/collection and/or treatment of one or more of the following utilities: potable water, fire flow, sewer, and electricity. The City may deny any application for a new residential unit in such areas based on that determination, including a new detached ADU.

Failure to do so would create an ongoing adverse impact to the overall general public health and safety of the residents of the City of Lakewood, as well as the specific neighborhood in which the ADU or JADU is located.
Notwithstanding the above, this finding shall not require the installation of fire sprinklers, unless otherwise required by the Fire Department, based on other regulations in conformance with state law.
