RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize the Interim City Manager to execute contracts with Man One Art and MuralColors for the creation of a mural upon the softball shed at Lomita Park.

Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #11
Director Rindge presented the staff report per the agenda material. The Citywide graffiti abatement campaign was the impetus for this project, and the campaign is a three-brush approach:
*”Cover Your Canvas,” which includes decreased mural fees *”Care for Your Canvas,” which includes permissive removal *”Common Canvas,” the first of which is the softball shed at Lomita Park, which is often targeted with graffiti. Mural compositions were submitted by 100 local fifth graders, and the artist was selected. The mural will be unveiled during the “Follow Me, I’m Gang & Drug Free” Walk on April 25. Staff is asking to fund both the artist’s fee and the installation for a total of $17450.00.

It was the consensus of the Council to direct staff to bring back an item at a future meeting to discuss and consider the possibility of fining parents whose minor children are convicted of vandalism in Lomita.

Brief Council discussion was held relative to the funding source of this project, and a commercial building in the City that is frequently targeted with graffiti. It was suggested that installation of additional murals could be discussed at the upcoming mid-year budget review.

As there was no further Council discussion, Mayor Uphoff invited a motion.

Council Member Waite made a motion, seconded by Council Member Segawa, to approve the recommended action.

MOTION CARRIED by the following vote:

AYES: Council Members: Segawa, Waite, and Mayor Uphoff
NOES: None
ABSENT: Mayor Pro Tem Waronek

As the legislature is prioritizing water and infrastructure projects, staff recommended projects including the Downtown Lomita Multi-Benefit Stormwater Project, various ADA improvements Citywide, and Irene Lewis Park renovations.

Brief Council discussion was held relative to supporting projects that interest the legislature in order to obtain funding.

There was general Council concurrence with the priorities as outlined by staff.

Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #12
d. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF A LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF DEPARTMENT (LASD) PROPOSAL FOR 2024 ILLEGAL FIREWORKS

SUPPRESSION ENFORCEMENT
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s (LASD) Proposal for 2024 Fireworks Suppression Enforcement.

This item was presented before Item 8a.

Senior Management Analyst Hernandez presented the staff report per the agenda material. Results from a recent survey indicated that 60% of Lomita residents oppose legalizing fireworks in the City. In 2021 the City Council increased the fine for illegal fireworks to $1000 per incident. Lomita Sheriff’s Station has proposed a three-week enforcement period from June 16 through July 6 using two dedicated deputies on six-hour shifts for an amount not to exceed $29,322.72. Violations must be witnessed by law enforcement to be enforced, and historically the fines have not offset the City’s enforcement costs. Staff recommends a modified enforcement period of June 13-July 7.

Brief Council discussion took place relative to the date range options.

George Kivett, Lomita resident, spoke in favor of the fireworks enforcement, adding that last year was not nearly as bad as in the past in terms of illegal fireworks in the City. He suggested additional enforcement measures around New Years Eve, especially if it takes place on a weekend.

As there was no further Council discussion, Mayor Uphoff invited a motion.

Council Member Gazeley made a motion, seconded by Council Member Segawa to approve the recommended action with the modified dates of enforcement to June 23- July 13, 2024.

MOTION CARRIED by the following vote:

AYES: Council Members: Gazeley, Segawa, Waite, and Mayor Uphoff NOES: None
ABSENT: Mayor Pro Tem Waronek

9. PUBLIC HEARINGS
None scheduled.

10. ADJOURNMENT

B. The City desires to amend Title XI of the Lomita Municipal Code to modify accessory dwelling unit standards of development regulations and update the definition of key lot.

C.

D. Government Code Section 65852.2(h)(A) provides that the state Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is to make findings regarding local agency ordinance compliance with Section 65852.2.

E. On February 12, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on Zone Text Amendment No. 2024-01 where public testimony was accepted on the item and recommended City Council approve the zoning text amendment and find the project exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:

Section 4. Zoning Amendments
Based on the foregoing, the City Council hereby approves the following amendments to the Lomita Municipal Code:

A. The definition of “lot, key” under Section 11-1.15.03(L) of Title XI of the Lomita Municipal Code is amended to read as follows:
“Lot, key, shall mean a lot where the rear property line abuts the side property line of one or more lots and where such lots are not separated by an alley or any public way.”
B. Section 11-1.30.06 (“Accessory and junior accessory dwelling units”) of Title XI (“Planning and Zoning”) of the Lomita Municipal Code is amended in full to read as follows:
“Sec. 11-1.30.06. Accessory and junior accessory dwelling units. (A) Purpose.
(1) The purpose of this section is to provide for the creation of accessory dwelling units and junior accessory dwelling units consistent with section 65852.2 of the Government Code, as amended from time to time. In any instance where there is conflict, state law shall govern. (B) Definitions.
(1) Accessory dwelling unit/ADU has the same meaning as that stated in Government Code section 65852.2 as that section may be amended from time to time.

Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #36
(2) Attached ADU means an ADU that shares at least one common wall with the primary dwelling unit.
(3) Converted ADU means an ADU that is constructed within all or a portion of the legally permitted existing interior space of an accessory structure or within all or a portion of the permitted existing interior space of a dwelling structure, including bedrooms, attached garages, and storage areas.
(4) Detached ADU means an ADU that is physically separated from, but located on the same lot as, a primary dwelling structure. (5) Existing. A structure is "existing" if it was legally constructed and the construction has passed all required final inspections. (6) Junior accessory dwelling unit/JADU shall have the same meaning as that stated in Government Code section 65852.22(h)(1) as that section may be amended from time to time.
(7) Public transit has the same meaning as that stated in Government Code section 65852.2, as that section may be amended from time to time. (8) Floor area of an accessory dwelling unit means, for the purpose of this chapter, the area of each floor level included within the walls enclosing each dwelling unit. The floor area shall be measured from the outside face of the walls enclosing each dwelling unit, including all closet space and storage areas contained within the unit, including habitable basements and attics, but not including unenclosed porches, balconies, or any enclosed garages or carports. For purposes of calculating the allowable floor area of accessory dwelling units based on a proportion of the size of the primary residence, only the livable floor area of the primary residence shall be counted. The floor area of any other structures, for purposes of calculating total floor area, lot coverage, or other calculations, shall be calculated in the manner described in the relevant zoning regulations. (C) Applicability and Permissible Use.
(1) Accessory dwelling units required by state law.

FROM: Joe Hoefgen, Interim City Manager
MEETING DATE: April 2, 2024
SUBJECT: Reimbursement for California Contract Cities Association Conference Registration Submitted by Council Member Waite

RECOMMENDATION
Review and authorize the requested reimbursement of the Conference Registration expense.

BACKGROUND
Resolution No. 2006-6 (Reimbursement Policy) of the City Council allows for reimbursement of City-related expenditures made by public officials and City staff.

Section 11 of the policy states that “City Officials must submit their expense reports within thirty (30) days after an expense is incurred, accompanied by receipts documenting each expense. Restaurant receipts, in addition to any credit card receipts, are also part of the necessary documentation.” A copy of the reimbursement policy is included as an attachment to this report.

Council Member Waite is requesting reimbursement for registration costs totaling $825 for the 2023 Annual Municipal Seminar conducted by the California Contract Cities Association held in May 2023. There were hotel and mileage costs incurred related to Council Member Waite’s attendance at this seminar which were reimbursed as part of the June 6, 2023, warrant register. It was an oversight by Council Member Waite in not requesting registration cost reimbursement in June 2023.

Had this conference registration reimbursement request been submitted within the 30- day time period referenced in the Reimbursement Policy, the payment would have been listed as one of the line items in the warrant register. However, given that more than 30 days elapsed since the expense was incurred, approval by the City Council as a separate action is required in order to process this reimbursement.

City hereby agrees to employ Vialpando as City Manager to perform the functions and duties specified in the City Municipal Code and the Government Code of the State of California, and Vialpando agrees to accept such employment. The City reserves the right to amend the municipal code, including the provisions related to the duties and functions of the City Manager, without the need to amend this Agreement or obtain acquiescence from Vialpando. Vialpando shall perform the duties and responsibilities imposed by law, industry standards, and such legally permissible further duties and functions as shall, from time to time, be assigned by the Council. Vialpando shall perform all such functions and duties to the best of his abilities in an efficient, competent, and ethical manner. Vialpando shall not consult or engage in non-City connected business or employment without the prior knowledge and express written consent of the City Council.

Vialpando shall devote the time necessary to properly perform his duties as City Manager. The parties anticipate that Vialpando will work a full-time schedule allocated between regular business hours and hours outside of regular business hours including, without limitation, attendance at regular and special City Council meetings. Toward that end, Vialpando shall be at City Hall every day that it is open but with the allowed reasonable flexibility in setting his own office hours, provided the schedule of such hours provides a significant presence at City Hall.

Vialpando shall be reasonably available to the City Council, City staff, and members of the Attachment No. 1
Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #66
community for the performance of his duties and of City business. Vialpando may perform work off site as appropriate.

Section 2 — Term
The Agreement shall be effective as of May 1, 2024 (“Effective Date”), and shall continue unless terminated by the parties as set forth in the Agreement.

Section 3 — Termination and Severance Pay
A. By Vialpando
Vialpando may terminate this Agreement upon giving at least 30 days’ written notice of resignation to City, or sooner by mutual agreement. In the event that Vialpando exercises his right to terminate this Agreement by giving at least 30 days’ notice, or sooner by mutual agreement, Vialpando will not be entitled to the severance benefits as set forth below in this Agreement or to any other similar termination benefits under law or City rules or regulations, provided however, that Vialpando will be entitled to payment for work performed through his resignation date and accrued leave, as set forth below, as well as any benefits required by applicable law. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon Vialpando's death, retirement, or permanent incapacity (a disability or medical condition which cannot be reasonably accommodated by City and upon completion of any other legally required process), which will effectively operate as a resignation.

Vialpando hereby expresses his intent to remain as City Manager for a period of not less than five (5) years from the Effective Date of this Agreement.

B. By City
The Parties understand and agree that Vialpando, in his capacity as City Manager is “at-will” and serves at the pleasure of the Council, subject to termination pursuant to the terms of the Agreement without cause, and with no right to any hearing or appeal, including any “Skelly conference,” other than the rights expressly provided in the Agreement. The City may terminate this Agreement, and Vialpando’s employment, either at-will or for cause as set forth below, by a majority vote of the whole Council. The word “termination” shall not include the City’s election not to extend the term of this Agreement.

1. At-Will: City may terminate this Agreement, without cause and with or without notice. In the event that this Agreement is terminated without cause, Vialpando shall be entitled to severance benefits under this Agreement, consistent with the requirements as set forth below in Section 3(C). Vialpando may not be terminated under this provision for at-will termination by the City within ninety (90) days following a City General Municipal Election where one or more Council seats are contested on the ballot of such election (the "election cool-off period").

2. For Cause Termination: City may terminate this Agreement “for cause,” as defined below. Vialpando will not be entitled to severance if his employment is terminated by City at Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #67
any time for cause. Cause for termination shall be defined for purposes of this Agreement as:
(i) malfeasance, (ii) gross negligence, (iii) fraud, (iv) serious misconduct (substantiated through an independent investigation) which would constitute a violation of City policy, or state or federal law, (v) moral turpitude, or (vi) conviction of a felony on the part of Vialpando.

Conviction for purposes of this Agreement includes a judgment entered after a trial, plea of guilty or plea of nolo contendere.

C. Severance
In the event that Vialpando’s employment is terminated by Council without cause (“at-will”), during the term of this Agreement and while Vialpando is willing and able to perform the duties of City Manager, Vialpando shall be entitled to a lump sum cash settlement equal to six (6) months of which will be paid by the City. Up to an additional six (6) months may be available through the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority--subject to the terms of that insurance—starting in the seventh month after termination if Vialpando is unemployed, or receiving a salary less than defined in this Agreement (in which case Vialpando would not be eligible to receive more than the difference in salary between his then current salary and the salary defined in this Agreement). The severance amount is calculated on base pay, exclusive of incentive or bonus pay, benefits and other non-cash remuneration, except that health benefits will be continued, at the same level of City contribution provided Executive Management level employees(and at the same coverage election as at the time of termination), for the same period as the severance (up to six months) or until Vialpando begins other employment, whichever occurs first. To receive severance, Vialpando must execute a Settlement Agreement and General Release satisfactory to the City. In the event Vialpando elects not to sign the Settlement Agreement and General Release, Vialpando will not be entitled to severance pay.

Vialpando will not be entitled to severance if his employment is terminated by the Council at any time for cause, or if Vialpando resigns, retires or cannot perform the essential functions of the position even with reasonable accommodations due to death, a medical condition or disability.

D. General Waiver and Release
The promise and tender of payment to Vialpando, of any severance compensation payable herein, is in lieu of any damages which Vialpando might claim arising out of the employment relationship (including the termination thereof) between the parties, including lost wages, breach of contract, express or implied, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, emotional distress and anxiety, or any similar contractual and personal injury claims.

E. Abuse of Office
Pursuant to Government Code section 53243, et seq., if Vialpando is convicted of a crime involving an abuse of his office or position, as defined below, all of the following shall apply upon final conviction: (1) if City Manager is provided with administrative leave pay pending an investigation, Vialpando shall be required to fully reimburse such amounts paid; (2) if City, in its discretion, pays for the criminal legal defense of City Manager, Vialpando shall be Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #68
required to fully reimburse such amounts paid; and (3) if this Agreement is terminated, any cash settlement related to the termination that Vialpando may receive from City shall be fully reimbursed to City. For purposes of this Section, “abuse of office or position” means either:
(1) an abuse of public authority, including waste, fraud, and violation of the law under color of authority as those crimes are specifically defined under specific provision of California statute, or (2) a crime against public justice, including a crime described in Title 7 commencing with section 92 of the Penal Code or as specifically defined under separate provision of California statute.

SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Directing the Public Works Director to Prepare the Engineer’s Report for Landscape Maintenance District No. 1

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution directing the Public Works Director to prepare the Engineer’s report for Landscape Maintenance District No. 1.

BACKGROUND
Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 (hereafter referred to as the “District”) was first formed in 1979 as the result of a grassroots effort by a group of homeowners in the Rolling Ranchos Tract (Tract 25201 as recorded with the County of Los Angeles) wanting a well-maintained scenic entrance to their development.

The District was established to defray the maintenance and operating costs of maintaining landscaping improvements within the District and was to be financed by the adjacent Rolling Ranchos Tract. A state grant financed the construction of the bike path on Palos Verdes Drive North in conjunction with the City of Rolling Hills Estates. The rest of the landscaping and irrigation system was constructed by force account utilizing city and California Conservation personnel.

The District's boundaries remain unchanged and include all of the residential area known as the Rolling Ranchos Tract, all within the City of Lomita, as well as the landscaping area between the northerly curb along Palos Verdes Drive North and the southerly property line of the Rolling Ranchos Tract. The median on Palos Verdes Drive North is not part of the District.

Under the provisions of the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972, Part 2, Division 15 of the California Streets and Highways Code (commencing with Section 22500), the Item No. SCH 8b

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #74
Council must pass a Resolution of Intent and schedule a public hearing date if it desires to levy and collect annual assessments to pay for the ongoing maintenance and servicing of the existing landscape improvements, trails (pathways) and appurtenant improvements and facilities within the District.

Based on the premise that all properties within the Rolling Ranchos Tract would benefit equally from District improvements, it was determined at the time of forming the District that all properties be assessed equally.

An Engineer’s Report is necessary to determine the cost of service and the amount of the assessment for the properties. Following receipt of the Engineer’s Report, a Resolution of Intent to levy annual assessments for Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 will be presented to the Council, and a public hearing date will be established.

OPTIONS

1. Approve staff’s recommendation.

2. Provide alternative direction.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Engineer’s Report will address the amount of the assessment.

MEETING DATE: April 2, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of an Agreement for Update and Restoration of the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) at the Cypress Water Facility

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the City Manager to enter an agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for services to update and restore the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) at the Cypress Water Facility for an amount not to exceed $150,000.

BACKGROUND
The City operates several facilities related to the production or distribution of water for the City’s water system. These include the Cypress Water Production Facility (CWPF), Harbor Hills Storage Tank, multiple import water connections, and a pump station.

Historically, the CWPF provided a mixture of treated groundwater and imported surface water to Pressure Zone 1 (portion of the City north of Pacific Coast Highway); however, the CWPF was taken off-line in May 2019 due to the detection of benzene at the City’s only well. Since then, the City has been importing 100 percent of its water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD).

Following the detection of benzene, the City has since embarked on a large-scale upgrade of the facility, including the addition of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) vessels to ensure complete removal of benzene. The City Council awarded this project to R.C. Foster Corporation on January 19, 2021.

The Cypress Water Facility Upgrade project includes installing a new supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to be integrated with the existing Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to create a centralized control screen to display all facility features.

Item No. SCH 8d

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #80
The project is almost entirely complete however, some punch list items remain outstanding. As City Staff continues to coordinate with the contractor to close out the remaining items, it has come to Staff’s attention that the existing PLC is in need of updating and refurbishment. The previously installed program is no longer compatible with the new program planned to be installed. The current PLC hardware needs to be completely replaced as it was first installed when the Cypress Water Plant was constructed over a decade ago. The work will also include replacing the multiple Input/Output (I/O) points, the Human Machine Interface (HMI) hardware, and other SCADA-related connections.

Even if the remaining punch list items for the Cypress Facility Upgrade project are completed, the entire system cannot run until the existing PLC is refurbished. Therefore, this work is crucial for the facility's overall functionality.

City Staff reached out to multiple vendors, including AES Global Inc., Freedom Automation, TESCO, SOFFA, TetraTech, and R.C. Foster, to provide quotations.

Staff is awaiting final quotations and will proceed with the vendor who can provide the service for the lowest cost in the most expeditious timeframe.

OPTIONS

1. Approve staff’s recommendation.

2. Provide alternative direction.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for this work will be covered by the project/construction contingency under account number 520-840-5821.365. No new funds need to be appropriated.

SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of an Agreement with City of Los Angeles, West Basin Municipal Water District, and Metropolitan Water District of Southern California

RECOMMENDATION
Approve an agreement with the City of Los Angeles, acting by and through its Department of Water and Power, City of Lomita, West Basin Municipal Water District, and The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California; and authorize the Interim City Manager to execute the Agreement.

BACKGROUND
The Metropolitan Water District (MWD) has an urgent need to replace a valve that is failing. In order to replace the valve, the West Basin, WB-8 supply of water will be isolated resulting in no water supply from this usual connection. To ensure adequate water supply for Lomita pressure zones 2, 3, and 4, a new water connection is needed with the City of Los Angeles, Department of Water and Power (LADWP). The City of Lomita and LADWP staff have been working to establish this connection. Lomita has installed approximately 40 feet of 6-inch PVC main, a 6-inch flow control valve, and various appurtenances.

West Basin Municipal Water District (West Basin) has been instrumental in facilitating an emergency connection and establishing an agreement to allow the shutdown to proceed.

It is anticipated that the new emergency connection shall provide up to 1,000 gallons per minute of flow and may be used in the future as needed.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact.

3.5 Meter readings shall be taken monthly by LADWP during periods in which the Connections are in use under this Agreement.

3.6 The amount of flow from LADWP’s system shall be limited to 1,000 gallons per minute (“gpm”) and will be controlled by LADWP. LADWP will determine, in its sole discretion, the allowable flow of LADWP water that will be delivered to Lomita at the Connections. LADWP may cease the delivery of water if it determines, in its sole discretion, that there is a negative impact to its system or water availability during the delivery.

LADWP will make reasonable efforts to immediately notify Lomita and WBMWD in this event.

3.7 Deliveries of water are subject to operational, supply, or demand conditions, as determined by LADWP. LADWP has the sole discretion to determine the maximum amount of LADWP water supplies, if any, it can deliver to Lomita at the Connections and will make reasonable efforts to notify Lomita and WBMWD of its determination.

3.8 Prior to any water delivery under this Agreement, Lomita will, at its own expense, install a flow control valve on its side of the Connections to limit the flow to 1,000 gpm during the delivery of water from LADWP to Lomita.

3.9 Lomita shall comply with LADWP Water Service Rule 16-D, any amendments thereto or replacements thereof, and any other applicable backflow prevention requirements prior to LADWP’s activation of the Connections for delivery of water from LADWP to Lomita.

3.10 Lomita can contact LADWP for water quality data that characterizes the Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #87
treated water delivered from LADWP to Lomita. Lomita shall be solely responsible for treating the water it accepts, if necessary, for its intended use purposes, and covenants and agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

3.11 Lomita and LADWP shall each be responsible for the installation, operation, and maintenance of its respective Connections and facilities.

MWD has no obligation to install, operate, or maintain any of the Connections.

4. Replacement of Water in Full.

4.1. Prior to the exchange of water and operation of the Connections for any Emergency or Planned Purpose, the Parties shall meet and confer to determine the availability of MWD’s water supplies and the timing of MWD’s deliveries pursuant to this Agreement, taking into account MWD’s operational circumstances. LADWP shall only provide water to Lomita if MWD confirms that replacement water will be available for purchase and delivery within a reasonable time, not to exceed one (1) year. Except for an Emergency Purpose, the Parties shall use best efforts to exchange water under this Agreement when MWD’s Capacity Charge is not applicable. If Lomita requests an exchange of water at a time when MWD’s Capacity Charge is applicable, then LADWP shall be entitled to request return of a like quantity of water when MWD’s Capacity Charge is applicable. In such circumstances, if the delivery causes LADWP’s Capacity Charge to increase, LADWP may seek reimbursement from Lomita for the increased Capacity Charge.

4.2. Lomita shall be obligated to replace any water it receives under this Agreement in the same type and quantity, as measured by the meter on the Connections, at no cost to LADWP within a reasonable time, not to exceed one (1) year. Lomita shall purchase the replacement water through WBMWD. On behalf of Lomita, WBMWD shall purchase the equivalent type of water and quantity that LADWP delivered to Lomita and deliver it to LADWP through MWD’s facilities at a service connection and date agreed upon by LADWP and MWD, not to exceed one (1) year.

4.3. All MWD deliveries to LADWP pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the MWD Administrative Code, no different than any other water deliveries from MWD to LADWP, except that the sale shall be attributed to WBMWD for purposes of billing and the Readiness-to-Serve Charge.

4.4. Lomita shall be solely responsible for reimbursing LADWP and WBMWD for any and all costs associated with purchasing and delivering replacement water from MWD and delivering it to LADWP. Failure of Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #88
Lomita to complete the exchange by purchasing the replacement water through WBMWD shall constitute sufficient grounds to terminate use of the Connections until the exchange has been completed or to terminate this Agreement.

5. Water Rights. Each Party represents and warrants that this Agreement is intended only as an exchange of water for Emergency and Planned Purposes. Each Party expressly agrees that this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, give it a legal interest in the other Party’s water rights. Further, each Party expressly agrees not to claim or assert an interest in the other Party’s water rights.

6. Indemnity.

6.1. LADWP agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Lomita and WBMWD and each of its members, and every officer, employee, board member, representative, and agent of Lomita and WBMWD from any liability or financial loss arising from any intentional, reckless, negligent, or otherwise wrongful acts, errors, or omissions of LADWP or any person employed by LADWP in the performance of this Agreement.

6.2. Lomita agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend LADWP, its Board of Commissioners, officers, employees, agents, representatives, affiliates, and subsidiaries, and WBMWD and each of its members, officers, employees, board members, representatives, and agents from any liability or financial loss arising from any intentional, reckless, negligent, or otherwise wrongful acts, errors, or omissions of Lomita, or any person employed by Lomita in the performance of this Agreement.

MEETING DATE: April 2, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of a Resolution Approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 83968 to Subdivide a 39,428-Square-Foot Lot into a Planned Residential Development Containing Nine SingleFamily Residential Lots and One Common Lot at 2418 253rd Street within the Agricultural-Noncommercial (A-1) Zone

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution approving Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) No. 83968 to allow subdivision of a 39,428 ft2 lot into a planned residential development containing nine single-family residential lots and one common lot subject to the findings and conditions and recommending exemption finding from the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA), subject to the conditions of approval contained in the attached draft resolution (Attachment 1).

BACKGROUND
On March 11, 2024, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 2024-04 recommending approval of VTTM No. 83968 (by a vote of 6-0 Cammarata Abstained), subject to conditions. The application was filed by Lorenzo Schiappa, Schiappa Development, 2040 Lomita Blvd., Lomita, CA 90717.

ANALYSIS
A tract map enables a large lot to be subdivided into five or more lots. Presently, 2418 253rd Street is a 39,428 ft2 lot and contains three detached vacant dilapidated singlefamily dwellings and garages. The existing structures will be demolished, and the property will be redeveloped with nine detached two-story single-family dwellings using the Planned Residential Development Standards (Lomita Municipal Code Sec. 11-1.30.17).

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH NINE SINGLE-FAMILY

FILED BY LORENZO SCHIAPPA OF LUIGI SCHIAPPA DEVELOPMENT AT 2040 LOMITA BOULEVARD, SUITE 100, LOMITA CA 90717

THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LOMITA, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, ORDER AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. Recitals.

A. On April 2, 2024, City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and accepted public testimony in regard to an application for Vesting Tentative Parcel Map No. 83968 to allow a 39,428-square-foot single-family residential lot to subdivide into a planned residential development with nine single-family residential lots and one common lot at 2418 253rd St. in the Agricultural, Noncommercial (A-1) Zone in accordance with Article 8, Chapter 2, of Title XI of the Lomita Municipal Code.

B. On March 11, 2024, the City of Lomita Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Project. The Planning Commission, by Resolution No. 2024-04 (Exhibit A), recommended the City Council approve Vesting Tentative Map No. 83968 to create nine single-family lots and one common lot for a fire lane/driveway.

C. The City’s Planning Division, Public Works Department, and on behalf of the City by TransTech Consulting Group, reviewed Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 83968 and determined that the proposed Tentative Map meets the requirements of the City’s Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map Act, and recommended conditions for the final map approval which have been included in this Resolution.

D. The Los Angeles County Fire Department reviewed the proposed project. It concluded that an adequate water supply exists to meet current and anticipated fire suppression needs, and the design provides adequate access.

E. The City Council finds that the Applicant and Owner agree with the necessity of and accepts all elements, requirements, and conditions of this resolution as being a reasonable manner of preserving, protecting, providing for, and fostering the health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry in general and the persons who work, visit, or live in this development in particular.

Attachment No 1
Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #101
Section 2. Findings.

A. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 66410 et seq. (Subdivision Map Act), Section 11-2.116 of the Lomita Municipal Code, and the City’s General Plan, based on the entire record and all written and oral evidence presented, the City Council of the City of Lomita hereby determines and finds that:

1. The proposed subdivision is designed, to the extent feasible, to provide for passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. (See Gov. Code Section 66473.1.) The design of the subdivision balances hardscaped and landscaped surfaces. A five-foot access and landscape easement along the northerly (front) property line is included as a condition of approval. The space for the sidewalk and parkway is approximately seven feet, approximately two feet of which is available for the parkway. It is difficult for trees to grow effectively in such a narrow space, and any growth impacts sidewalk safety. Also affecting tree growth are aerial utility lines running parallel to the sidewalk. The easement will provide more space for street trees to grow at the crown, thereby shading and naturally cooling more area.

As shown on the Vesting Tentative Tract Map, the site contains numerous mature trees. The site design, in particular, the location of the fire lane and building pads, necessitates the removal of some of the trees. Landscaping areas and yards are dispersed throughout the site and provide locations to replace lost trees. Trees are known for naturally cooling surfaces and air temperature; therefore, a condition of approval requires providing two trees per residential lot, the species and size of which shall be approved by the City.

2. The proposed subdivision and the provisions for its design and improvement are consistent with the general plan for the City of Lomita ("General Plan") (See Gov.

Code Section 66474; Lomita Municipal Code Section 11-2.116.) The General Plan Land Use Designation of the site is Agricultural Residential and allows up to 10.89 units per acre. The proposed 39,482-square-foot, ten-lot (nine single-family lots and one common lot) project’s density is 9.9 units per acre.

3. The Subject Site is physically suitable for the type and density of development proposed in the Tentative Tract. (See Gov. Code Section 66474; Lomita Municipal Code Section 11-2.116.)
The project site is adequate in size, shape, topography, location, and other factors to accommodate the proposed use and development of a nine single-family lot development. The nine new single-family lots will connect to the existing utility network available to the flat parcel and make upgrades as needed.

The proposed development will maintain adequate street access for pedestrians and vehicles as well as adequate capacity for parking and traffic. The two existing Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #102
driveways will be reduced to one 26-foot-wide driveway. The internal driveway will provide full access to the development and serve as a fire lane. The proposed development provides two enclosed parking spaces per unit and one guest parking space per every two units without direct street frontage. The project design meets the required parking standards and promotes safe and convenient pedestrian and vehicular circulation.

Condition No. 46 of Planning Commission Resolution No. 2024-04 requires the removal of the existing structures before the final map is recorded.

4. The subdivision design and improvements proposed in the Tentative Tract Map are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. (See Gov. Code Section 66474; Lomita Municipal Code Section 2.116.)
The vegetation onsite includes shrubs and trees, including several mature trees that provide some canopy coverage. None of the existing urban introduced landscaping is a candidate for sensitive or special status species. The project would not significantly impact wildlife or wildlife habitat. Tree removal may affect offspring survival; therefore, a condition of approval has been included to require the removal of existing trees outside of the nesting season defined by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife as February 1 through August 15.

5. The subdivision design and type of improvements proposed in the Tentative Map are not likely to cause serious public health problems. (See Gov. Code Section 66474; Lomita Municipal Code Section 2.116.)
The subdivision design, in accordance with the planned residential development standards, is similar to the cul-de-sac designs nearby on Becknell and Bani Avenue, except it provides access via a private driveway instead of creating a dead-end public street terminating at a cul-de-sac. The alternative private right-of-way design is acceptable as it provides all necessary private and emergency access.

Also, the City’s most recent subdivision approvals on 253rd Street at Bani and Becknell Avenues did not require dedication of five feet of frontage along 253rd Street. The block maintains a 50-foot right-of-way width. As it is not foreseeable that the General Plan’s ideal 60-foot right-of-way width will be fully realized, accepting a five-foot easement as an alternative to a dedication maintains the block’s existing pattern of development, provides for an accessible path of travel, and meets street tree requirements/natural cooling objectives.

The project meets all standards of Title XI, Chapter 2, of the Lomita Municipal Code for Lot Design. All development and public improvements will occur per applicable standards and codes, including the zoning and building codes. Though the area is deficient in stormwater drains, the area has been occupied by residential Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #103
improvements similar to the proposed dwellings. This project will collect stormwater on site in accordance with Low Impact Development Standards.

The subdivision design, alternative right-of-way cross section design, and type of improvements can be seen with certainty not to cause any serious public health problems.

6. The subdivision design and type of improvements proposed in the Tentative Map will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of the Subject Site. (See Gov. Code Section 66474; Lomita Municipal Code Section 11-2.116.)
The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of a public entity and/or public utility rights-of-way and/or easements within the tract map. The vesting map includes a utility easement located along the westerly property line. The existing rights-of-way remain intact, and there is no foreseeable interference.

7. The discharge of waste into an existing sewer system from the development proposed in the Tentative Map will not cause a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the local water quality control board. (See Gov. Code Section 66474.6.)
The design of the subdivision will discharge waste into an existing community sewer system and will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board per Division 7 of the Water Code.

8. The subdivision and improvements proposed in the Vesting Tentative Tract Map help the City of Lomita meet its regional housing needs. (See Gov. Code Section 66474.6.)
A net of six dwellings will be created from this development. The Housing Element noted that more than 32% of households in 2013 were overpaying for their housing. The Planned Residential Development, which relies on this subdivision, provides a less costly option to purchase/rent and maintain single-family homes.

Therefore, pursuant to the Municipal Code and California Government Code Sections 66473.5 and 66474 (A through G), the proposed tract map qualifies for approval.

B. Pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 14, Chapter 3 Section 15332 (In-Fill Development) (California Environmental Quality Act), the project is consistent with the general plan designation, general plan policies, zoning designation, zoning regulations, and is less than five acres with no value as endangered habitat, and will not significantly affect traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the general plan and zoning code. The interior urban lot Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #104
contains less than an acre of land. It can be seen with certainty that the proposed nine single-family lots will not have any significant impacts on air quality, water quality, noise levels, or traffic counts, and no endangered habitat will be affected. The site is and will be adequately serviced by all required utilities and public services.

Therefore, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Section 3. Decision.

A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF

LOMITA RECOMMENDING CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF VESTING
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 83968 TO ALLOW A 39,428 FT2 LOT TO

SUBDIVIDE INTO A PLANNED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH

NINE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL LOTS AND ONE COMMON LOT
AT 2418 253rd STREET (APN: 7373-016-056) WITHIN' THE
AGRICULTURAL, NONCOMMERCIAL (A-1) ZONE AND FINDING THE

PROJECT EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT (CEQA). FILED BY LORENZO SCHIAPPA OF LUIGI
SCHIAPPA DEVELOPMENT AT 2040 LOMITA BOULEVARD, LOMITA
CA 90717 (APPLICANT/DEVELOPER)

THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LOMITA DOES HEREBY FIND, ORDER, AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS.

Section 1. Recitals
A. The City of Lomita received an application to allow Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 83968 to allow a 39,428 square-foot single family residential lot to subdivide into a planned residential development with nine single-family residential lots and one common lot at 2418 253rd St.in the Agricultural, Noncommercial (A-1) Zone. Filed by Lorenzo Schiappa of Luigi Schiappa Development at 2040 Lomita Blvd. Lomita, CA 90717 ("Applicant"/"Developer'').

B. On March 11, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Lomita held a duly noticed public hearing and accepted public testimony for an application.

C. Vesting Tentative Tract Map No 83968 has been reviewed on behalf of the City by TransTech Consulting Group, which determined that the proposed Tentative Map meets the requirements of the City's Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map Act and recommended conditions for the final map approval which have been included in this Resolution.

D. The Los Angeles County Fire Department has reviewed the proposed project and concludes that adequate water supply exists to meet current and anticipated fire suppression needs and the design provides adequate access. The approval is attached as Exhibit 1 .

E. The project is categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15332 (In-Fill Development) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. The project is consistent with the general plan designation, general plan policies, zoning designation, zoning regulations, and is less than five acres with no value as endangered habitat, and will not significantly affect traffic, noise, air quality or water quality. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the general plan and zoning code. The interior urban lot contains less than an acre of land. It can be seen with certainty that the proposed single-family development will Exhibit A
Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #106
Resolution No. 2024-04

not have any significant impacts on air quality, water quality, noise levels or traffic counts, and no endangered habitat will be affected. The site is and will be adequately serviced by all required utilities and public services.

F. The Planning Commission finds that the Applicant agree with the necessity of and accepts all elements, requirements, and conditions of this resolution as being a reasonable manner of preserving, protecting, providing for, and fostering, the health, safety, and welfare of citizens iri general including those who access the site.

Section 2. Findings
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 6641 O et seq. (Subdivision Map Act), Section 11-2.116 of the Lomita Municipal Code, -and the City's General Plan, based on the entire record before the Planning Commission and all written and oral evidence presented to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission finds as follows:
1 . The proposed subdivision is designed, to the extent feasible, to provide for passive or natural heating or cooling opportunities. (See Gov. Code Section 66473.1.) The design of the subdivision balances hardscaped and landscaped surfaces. A five-fopt access and landscape easement along -the northerly (front) property line is induded as a condition of approval. The space for sidewalk and parkway is approximately seven feet, approximately two feet of which is available for parkway.

Trees do not grow well in such a narrow space and any growth impacts sidewalk safety. Also affecting tree growth is aerial utility lines running parallel to the sidewalk. The easement will provide more space for street trees to grow at the crown, thereby shading and naturally cooling more area.

As shown on the Vesting Tentative Tract Map, the site Gontains numerous mature trees. The site design, in particular, the location of fire lane and building pads necessitates the removal of some of the trees. Landscaping areas and yards are dispersed throughout the site and provide locations to replace lost trees. Trees are known for naturally cooling surfaces and air temperature; therefore, a condition of approval requires providing two trees per residential lot, the species and size shall be approved by the City.

2. The proposed subdivision and the provisions for its design and improvement are consistent with the general plan for the City of Lomita ("General Plan'?. (See Gov.

Code Section 66474; Lomita Municipal Code Section 11-2.116.) The project site has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Agricultural Residential and allows up to 10.89 units per acre. The proposed 39,482-square-foot, ten-lot (nine single-family lots and one common lot) project's density is 9.9 units per acre.

Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #107
Resolution No. 2024-04

3. The Subject Site is physically suitable for the type and density of development proposed in the Tentative Tract. (See Gov. Code Section 6647 4; Lomita Municipal Code Section 11-2.116.)
The project site is adequate in size, shape, topography, location, and other factors to accommodate the proposed use and development of a nine single-family lot development. The nine new single-family lots will connect into the existing utility network available to the flat parcel and make upgrades as needed.

The proposed development will maintain adequate street access for pedestrians and vehicles as well as adequate capacity for parking and traffic. The three existing driveways will be reduced to one 26-foot-wide driveway. The internal driveway will provide full access to the development and serve as a fire lane. The proposed development requires two parking spaces within an enclosed two-car garage for each unit and one guest parking space per every two units without direct street frontage. The project design meets the required parking standards and promotes safe and convenient pedestrian and vehicular circulation.

Condition No. 46 requires the removal of the existing structures before the final map is recorded.

4. The subdivision design and improvements proposed in the Tentative Tract Map are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage nor substantially injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. (See Gov. Code Section 66474; Lomita Municipal Code Section 2.116.)
The vegetation onsite includes shrubs and trees including several mature trees that provide some canopy coverage. None of the existing urban introduced landscaping is a candidate for sensitive or special status species. The project would not significantly impact wildlife or wildlife habitat. Tree removal may affect offspring survival; therefore, a condition of approval has been included to require the removal of existing trees outside of the nesting season defined by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife as February 1 through August 15.

5. The subdivision design and type of improvements proposed in the Tentative Map are not likely to cause serious public health problems. (See Gov. Code Section 66474; Lomita Municipal Code Section 2.116.)
The subdivision design in accordance with the planned residential development standards is similar to the cul-de-sac designs nearby on Becknell and Bani Avenue, except it provides access via a private driveway instead of creating a dead-end public street terminating at a cul-de-sac. The alternative private right-of-way design is acceptable as it provides all necessary private and emergency access.

Also, 253rd Street's most recent subdivisions on Bani and Becknell Avenues did not dedicate five feet of frontage along 253rd Street. The entire block has a Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #108
Resolution No. 2024-04
Page4
50-foot right-of-way width. As it is not foreseeable that the General Plan's ideal 60-foot right-of-way width will be fully realized, accepting a five-foot easement as an alternative to a dedication maintains the block's existing pattern of development, provides for an accessible path of travel, and meets street tree requirements/natural cooling objectives.

The project meets all standards of Title XI Chapter 2's for Lot Design. All development and public improvements will occur per applicable standards and codes, including the zoning and building codes. Though the area is deficient in stormwater drains, the area has been occupied by residential improvements similar to the proposed dwellings. This project will collect stormwater on site in accordance with Low Impact Development Standards. (COA No. 21) The subdivision design, alternative right-of-way cross section design, and type of improvements can be seen with certainty to not cause any serious public health problems.

6. The subdivision design and type of improvements proposed in the Tentative Map will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of the Subject Site. (See Gov. Code Section 66474; Lomita Municipal Code Section 11-2.116.)
The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not unreasonably interfere with the free and complete exercise of a public entity and/or public utility rights-of-way and/or easements within the tract map. The vesting map includes a utility easement located along the westerly property line. The existing rights-of-way remain intact and there is no foreseeable interference.

7. The discharge of waste into an existing sewer system from development proposed in the Tentative Map will not cause a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the local water quality control board. (See Gov. Code Section 66474.6.) The design of the subdivision will discharge waste into an existing community sewer system and will not result in violation of existing requirements prescribed by Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board per Division 7 of the Water Code.

8. The subdivision and improvements proposed in the Vesting Tentative Tract Map help the City of Lomita meet its regional housing needs. (See Gov. Code Section 66474.6.)
A net six dwellings will be created from this development. The Housing Element noted that more than 32% of households in 2013 were overpaying for their housing. The Planned Residential Development, which relies on this subdivision, provides a less costly option to purchase/rent and maintain single-family homes.

Therefore, pursuant to the Municipal Code and California Government Code Sections Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #109
Resolution No. 2024-04

66473.5 and 66474 (A through G), the proposed tract map qualifies for approval.

TO: City Council Item No. PH 9b
FROM: Joe Hoefgen, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Brianna Rindge, AICP, Director of Community & Economic Development
DATE: April 2, 2024
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of a Resolution Amending Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 74138 to Amend Phase 2 of a Mixed-Use Project Consisting of the Development of 16 Residential Units with a Total of 39 Parking Spaces Located at 24516 Narbonne Avenue within the D-C (Downtown Commercial) Zone

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing and concur with Planning Commission’s recommendation and adopt a resolution to amend Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 74138 to amend Phase 2 of a mixed-use project consisting of the development of 16 residential units with a total of 39 parking spaces located at 24516 Narbonne Ave and recommending exemption finding from the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA).

BACKGROUND
The subject property consists of two parcels, is slightly less than one acre in size, and is bounded by Narbonne Ave. to the west, 245th St. to the north, Woodward Ave. to the east and a public alley to the south.

On April 13, 2015, the Planning Commission approved Conditional Use Permit (CUP) No. 294 for Phase 1 of the project. Phase 1 is located on the westerly parcel and includes 3,700 square feet of commercial space, five residential units, and parking. Construction on Phase 1 was completed in 2019. During the review of the CUP application, the Planning Commission also conducted a pre-review of the proposed Phase 2 to provide feedback on the conceptual site plan and elevations.

The site of the 16 new units in Phase 2 of the project is located on the easterly parcel which is 27,840 square feet in size. As a result of the Planning Commission’s conceptual

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #120
pre-review, the applicant amended plans for Phase 2; the number of units reduced from 22 to 16 and the parking modified to include individual 2-car garages. Staff at the time recommended approval as the new design serves more residential in nature and better complements nearby single-family residential uses.

The project previously included purchasing a portion of the public alley (190 linear feet beginning at Narbonne Ave.) from the City to be used as a pedestrian paseo, closing off vehicular access to Narbonne Avenue. The existing public alley connects Narbonne Ave. and Woodward Ave. and runs along the southern property line of both lots. Luigi Schiappa (applicant/developer) of Luigi Schiappa Development requests to amend previously approved Vesting Tentative Tract Map (VTTM) No. 74138 to remove the alley vacation and maintain the alley under City right-of-way. The timeline of the VTTM and alley vacation review is as follows.
• 6/8/2020: Planning Commission Resolution No. 2020-08 recommended City Council approve VTTM No. 74138.
• 8/4/2020: City Council Resolution No. 2020-27 approved a Modification to CUP No. 294 (“Vacation of the alley by the City at its discretion, which is to be considered by the City Council after all conditions of the tentative map have been cleared and before recordation of the final map.”) and City Council Resolution No. 2020-28 approved VTTM No. 74138 with the same conditions as Planning Commission Resolution No. 2020-08.
• 12/22/2021: City Council Resolution No. 2021-48 declared intention to vacate approximately 2,850 ft2(15’ by 190’) of public alley and required that the Planning Commission find consistency with the General Plan.
• 7/11/2022: Planning Commission Resolution No. 2022-08 found consistency with the General Plan and recommended approval of the alley vacation to the City Council.

To date, the alley vacation approval has not appeared on the agenda for City Council as directed in 2022. In preparation for the Final Map review, staff gathered departmental and public input regarding the alley vacation. Not only has staff received numerous complaints from the public and adjacent property and business owners fearing closure of the alley for vehicular access, but Public Works discovered utility easements, and Planning discovered logistical flaws in the design. In addition, the approved brewery and other alcohol CUPs surrounding the site may spill into the alley, rendering the site less usable as intended and potentially causing violations of local and/or state code. The proposed change expands fire and safety access as well.

The staff understands that the acquisition of land from the City was necessary to enable the project to include 16 units in density under LMC. However, in this calculation, the number previously rounded down. LMC does not specify whether density calculations in such a situation should round down or up, but both LMC and State calculations for density Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #121
bonus round up. Staff recommends consistency in density calculations across LMC, therefore, the allowed density on the site under LMC and the General Plan is 16 units for Phase 2, even without the additional land acquired from any alley vacation.

ANALYSIS
Environmental Determination
The rescindment of the vacation is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) as the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. In accordance with Section 15332 (In-fill Development Projects) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the conditions described in that section may be found to be exempt from the requirements of CEQA. The proposed project consists of 16 residential units for a total building area of 31,029 square feet. The development is fully located within the City limits, is on less than five acres, is consistent with the applicable General Plan and Zoning designations, is fully served by all required utilities, and the site is located in an urban area which has no value for sensitive or endangered habitat. Further a traffic report was prepared detailing that there will be no traffic impacts, and considering the project consists of residential uses, there should be no noise impact. Further, this vacation is categorically exempt per CEQA guidelines section 15305, minor alterations in land use limitations. The proposed project complies with all criteria for exemption because the average slope of the alleyway is less than 20%, and it does not result in any changes in land use or density. CEQA guidelines section 15304 also exempts this application as it allows for minor or public alterations in the condition of land, water and or vegetation and do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees or agricultural purposes to be exempt from CEQA. Since there Is no development associated with the project that would impact land, water, and vegetation and would not involve the removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees or agricultural purposes the exemption is appropriate.

General Plan Designation
The underlying general plan designation for the subject site is mixed-use. The mixed-use land use designation allows up to 22 units per acre and a floor area ratio of 2:1. The City is currently updating its 25-year-old General Plan including the Land Use Element. In November 2023, City Council selected a draft Future Land Use Designations map to be adopted in fall 2024. This map designates the subject property as mixed-use up to 30 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development is well within the confines of this Preferred Future Land Use Plan.

Zoning Designation & Standards
The underlying zoning designation for the subject site is D-C (Downtown Commercial) and the property is within the Mixed-Use Overlay. The proposal does not request any change to the brewery or residential use of the site.

Review of Vesting Tentative Tract Map
Staff reviewed VTTM No. 74138 and recommends approval with conditions. The request proposes no physical change to the existing private property’s plan, beyond recommendation from the Public Works Department that the alley remain jurisdiction of the City due to several utility easements. Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Land Development Division reviewed the tract map and site plan and recommended approval as shown in Attachment 1 Exhibit 1. Staff, Planning Commission, and City Council previously reviewed the project and deemed it in accordance with Article 4 (Design) of Chapter 2 (Division of Land) of Title IX (Planning and Zoning) of the LMC.

Stormwater & Hazard Mitigation
According to FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Lomita does not lie within a 100-year nor a 500-year floodplain. However, the potential for localized flooding exists. The reopening of the alley would maintain swift access to utility easements and area available for further stormwater conveyance.

Traffic Study & Vehicles Miles Traveled
Traffic engineering firm KOA Corp. prepared a traffic study which concluded that the additional trips generated by this project would not have a significant impact on any intersection during either peak period. The reopening of the alley for circulation may ameliorate traffic concerns on the block, particularly for service delivery vehicles.

Landscape & Trees
As a condition of approval, the Public Works Director must review and approve a landscape and irrigation plan for the public ROW.

Findings Required for Approval
Per LMC Sec. 11-2.116. - Criteria for rejection: “The city council may reject a tentative map if it finds that:
a) The proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans. b) The design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.
c) The site is not physically suitable for the type of development proposed. d) The site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #123
e) The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.
f) The design of the subdivision or of the proposed improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.
g) The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.

Per Lomita Municipal Code, City Council shall not deny approval of a final subdivision map pursuant to section 66474 of the Subdivision Map Act, if it has previously approved a tentative map for the proposed subdivision and if it finds that the final map is in substantial compliance with the previously approved tentative map.

Due to the Public Works Department’s discovery of a series of utility easements within the alley, the City Council would not be able to approve the final map. However, the final sentence states that the City Council cannot deny a final map if it previously approved a compliant tentative map. The amendment to VTTM No. 74138 would adopt a compliant tentative map and allow the City Council to approve the final map.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City will no longer receive the estimated $43,000 in exchange for the alley vacation; however, the City will maintain jurisdiction of the entire alley for the benefit of utility work/access and future improvements.

PLANNING COMMISSION
On March 11, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the draft resolution.

OPTIONS

1. Approve the resolution.

2. Approve the resolution with amendments.

3. Provide staff with further direction.

74138 to rescind the alley vacation from the project. Filed by Luigi Schiappa of Luigi Schiappa Development at 2040 Lomita Blvd. Lomita, CA 90717 (“Applicant”/”Developer”).

H. The subject site is zoned D-C (Downtown Commercial), lies within the Mixed-Use overlay zone, and is designated Mixed-Use by the City’s General Plan.

I. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the City’s General Plan and Title 11 of the Lomita Municipal Code, which allows mixed use on this site and encourages residential development.

J. The Los Angeles County Fire Department has reviewed the proposed project and concludes that adequate water supply exists to meet current and anticipated fire suppression needs and the design provides adequate access. The approval is attached to this resolution as Exhibit A.

K. The rescindment of the vacation is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) as the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. In accordance with Section 15332 (In-fill Development Projects) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the conditions described in that section may be found to be exempt from the requirements of CEQA. The proposed project consists of 16 residential units for a total building area of 31,029 square feet. The development is fully located within the City limits, is on less than five acres, is consistent with the applicable General Plan and Zoning designations, is fully served by all required utilities, and the site is located in an urban area which has no value for sensitive or endangered habitat. Further, a traffic report was prepared detailing that there will be no traffic impacts, and considering the project consists of residential uses, there should be no noise impact. Further, this vacation is categorically exempt per CEQA guidelines section 15305, minor alterations in land use limitations. The proposed project complies with all criteria for exemption because the average slope of the alleyway is less than 20%, and it does not result in any changes in land use or density. CEQA guidelines section 15304 also exempts this application as it allows for minor or public alterations in the condition of land, water, and or vegetation and do not involve the removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees or agricultural purposes to be exempt from CEQA. Since there Is no development associated with the project that would impact land, water, and vegetation and would not involve the removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees or agricultural purposes, the exemption is appropriate.

L. City Council finds that the applicant agrees with the necessity of, and accepts all elements, requirements, and conditions of this resolution as being a reasonable manner of preserving, protecting, providing for, and fostering the health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry in general and the persons who work, visit, or live in this development in particular.

PHASE 1 OF THE PROJECT
INCLUDED 3,700 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL SPACE, FIVE
RESIDENTIAL UNITS, AND ASSOCIATED PARKING. FILED BY LUIGI SCHIAPPA OF LUIGI SCHIAPPA DEVELOPMENT, 2040 LOMITA
BOULEVARD, SUITE 100, LOMITA CA 90717
Section 1. Recitals
A. The City Council of the City of Lomita has considered an application for a Final Map (Tract Map No. 74138) for the development of sixteen residential units on a 25,230-square-foot lot, located at 24516 Narbonne Avenue in the Downtown Commercial Zone (D-C) with Mixed Use Overlay. Filed by Luigi Schiappa, 2040 Lomita Blvd., Suite 100, Lomita, California (“Applicant”).

B. On April 13, 2015, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing, accepted testimony for and against the proposed project, and adopted Resolution No. 2015-19 approving Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) No. 294 for Phase 1 of the project which included 3,700 square feet of commercial space, five residential units and associated parking.

C. On June 8, 2020, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and accepted testimony regarding Phase 2 of the project including 16 new residential units, adopting Resolution No. 2020-08 recommending City Council approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map (“VTTM”) No. 74138.

D. On August 4, 2020, City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, accepted testimony for and against the proposed project, and adopted Resolution No. 2020- 27 to approve a Modification to CUP No. 294 and City Council Resolution No. 2020-28 approved VTTM No. 74138 with the same conditions as Planning Commission Resolution No. 2020-08.

Attachment 1
Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #145
G. On March 11, 2024, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing, accepted testimony for and against the proposed project, and adopted Resolution No. 2024-03 recommending that the City Council approve the subject amendment to Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 74138.

H. On April 2, 2024, City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and accepted public testimony for an application to amend Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 74138 to rescind the alley vacation from the project. Filed by Luigi Schiappa of Luigi Schiappa Development at 2040 Lomita Blvd. Lomita, CA 90717 (“Applicant”/”Developer”).

I. Said Vesting Tentative Tract Map has been reviewed by the City’s Engineer and Los Angeles County Fire Department with recommended conditions of approval.

J. The proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the City’s General Plan and Title 11 of the Lomita Municipal Code, which allows mixed use on this site and encourages residential development.

K. The rescindment of the vacation is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) as the activity is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing significant effect on the environment. In accordance with Section 15332 (In-fill Development Projects) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the conditions described in that section may be found to be exempt from the requirements of CEQA. The proposed project consists of 16 residential units for a total building area of 31,029 square feet. The development is fully located within the City limits, is on less than five acres, is consistent with the applicable General Plan and Zoning designations, is fully served by all required utilities, and the site is located in an urban area which has no value for sensitive or endangered habitats. Further, a traffic report was prepared detailing that there will be no traffic impacts, and considering the project consists of residential uses, there should be no noise impact. Further, this vacation is categorically exempt per CEQA guidelines section 15305, minor alterations in land use limitations. The proposed project complies with all criteria for exemption because the average slope of the alleyway is less than 20%, and it does not result in any changes in land use or density. CEQA guidelines section 15304 also exempts this application as it allows for minor or public alterations in the condition of land, water and or vegetation and do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees or agricultural purposes to be exempt from CEQA. Since there Is no development associated with the project that would impact land, water, and vegetation and would not involve the removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees or agricultural purposes the exemption is appropriate.

L. The City Council finds that the applicant agrees with the necessity of and accepts all elements, requirements, and conditions of this resolution as being a reasonable Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #146
manner of preserving, protecting, providing for, and fostering the health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry in general and the persons who work, visit or live in this development in particular.

Section 2. Findings. The City Council finds, after due study and deliberation, that the tract map is in conformance with Section 11-2.116 of the Lomita Municipal Code, the City’s General Plan, and Sections 66474.6, 66473.1, 66473.5 and 66474 (A) through (G) of the Subdivision Map Act. The Subdivision Map Act of the California Government Code regulates the subdivision of property. (See Government Code sections 66410, et seq.) Section 66474 states, “a city or county shall deny approval of a tentative map, or parcel map for which a tentative map was not required,” subject to certain specified findings listed in Government Code section 66474. The proposed project does not satisfy any of the reasons articulated in Government Code section 66474 for denial. Therefore, pursuant to Government Code Sections 66473.5 and 66474 (a through g), the proposed parcel map qualifies for approval.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lomita hereby approves Final Map No. 74138 subject to the following conditions:

GENERAL PROJECT CONDITIONS

1. This permit is granted for the property described in the application on file with the Planning Division and may not be transferred from one property to another.

A minor modification may be granted for minimal changes or increases in the extent of use or size of structures or the design, materials or colors of structures or masonry walls.

SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration of a Resolution Confirming the Cost Report for Demolition and Site Clean-up of Declared Nuisance Property 2253-2257 Pacific Coast Highway (APN 7373-008-006)

RECOMMENDATION
Conduct a public hearing, confirm the Cost Abatement report by adopting the resolution, and direct staff to proceed with the process for lien recordation in the amount of $56,327.33.

BACKGROUND
According to the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office, Ronald Arbolida purchased the property located at 2253-2257 Pacific Coast Highway on September 27, 2005. At a meeting on October 17, 2023, City Council authorized the demolition of the buildings and structures at 2253-2257 Pacific Coast Highway per Chapter 16 (Nuisance Abatement) of Title III (Public Safety) of the Lomita Municipal Code (“LMC”) based on finding sustained lack of compliance with the following violations of LMC:

1. LMC 3-16-03(C): Any building or structure which is partially destroyed, damaged, abandoned, dilapidated, or permitted to remain in a state of partial construction.

2. LMC 3-16.03(0): The failure to secure and maintain against public access all doorways, windows, and other openings into vacant or abandoned buildings or structures.

3. LMC 3-16.03(H-2): Any overgrown, dead, decayed, diseased or hazardous tree, weeds, vegetation, or debris which is maintained so as to cause an obstruction to the vision of motorists or a hazardous condition to pedestrians or vehicle traffic.

4. LMC 3-16.03(H-4): Any overgrown, dead, decayed, diseased or hazardous tree, weeds, vegetation, or debris which detrimentally affects neighboring properties or property values.

Item No. PH 9d

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #153

5. LMC 3-16.03(1): Building exteriors, roofs, landscaping, grounds, walls, retaining and crib walls, fences, driveways, parking lots, planters, sidewalks, or walkways which are maintained in such condition so as to become defective, unsightly, cracked or no longer viable or in need of insect extermination.

6. LMC 3-16.03(J): The accumulation of dirt, litter, trash, junk, feces, or debris in doorways, adjoining sidewalks, walkways, courtyards, patios, parking lots, planters, landscaped or other areas.

The demolition completed on February 9, 2024, paid from Account No. 100-410-5341.000 for Property Nuisance Abatement, involved staff time and other administrative costs to process and coordinate this process. Starting upon City Council authorization to begin the demolition process on October 17, 2023, the cost report (Exhibit A of Attachment 1) itemizes all costs ($56327.33) of which the City seeks to oblige the property owner.

Notice of abatement cost hearing.

City staff provided notice of the abatement cost hearing in the same manner as the public nuisance hearing, per LMC 3-16.07(C), including notification to the property owner via email, phone, mail, and posting on the property more than least ten days prior to the City Council hearing date for the passage of the City Manager’s Report. The notice specified that the property may be sold by the tax collector or by the City for unpaid delinquent assessments. Per LMC 3-15.07(B), the addresses to which the letter was mailed are listed below.

Ronald E. Arbolida Ronald E. Arbolida Ronald E. Arbolida 2257 Pacific Coast Highway 1041 Mountain Lane 2021 West Carson St.

Lomita, California 90717 Big Bear City, CA 92314 Torrance, California 90501 Abatement cost hearing.

The City Council shall hear and pass upon the report, together with any objections or protests which may be raised by the property owner liable to be assessed for the abatement work, including written correspondence provided in advance of the hearing.

No protest shall be heard concerning the action of the City Manager or his designee in ordering the abatement of the nuisance. After hearing and reviewing any oral and written protests, the City Council may make such revisions, corrections, or modifications to the report as it may deem just, after which, by resolution (Attachment 1), the report shall be confirmed. The decisions of the City Council on all protests and objections shall be final and conclusive per LMC 3-16.07(D).

Notice of lien recordation.

Such notice of proposed recordation and an itemized notice of the lien will be sent by certified mail at least ten days before recording the lien by certified mail to the property owner and served in accordance Article 3 (commencing with Section 415.10) of Chapter 4 of Title 5 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

Reg CC Mtg of March 28, 2024, #154
Failure to pay lien.

If the cost of abatement is not paid within ten days after service of the notice of recordation is complete, the City may file in the office of the county recorder a certificate in the form “Notice of Lien” provided by LMC 3-16.07(E). If the lien is not paid from the date of recording the lien notice, the City may file and maintain an action to foreclose the lien or take any other action as provided by law.

Alternatively, failure to pay the lien within ten days pursuant to Government Code § 38773.5 may constitute a special assessment against that parcel of property which shall be recorded per LMC 3-16.07(G). The assessment liens shall be subordinate to all existing special assessment liens previously imposed upon the same property and paramount to all other liens except state, county and municipal taxes with which it shall be on parity. The lien shall continue until the assessment and all interest due and payable thereon has been paid.

The City Council may alternatively order that the cost for the abatement be made a personal obligation of the property owner and/or the person responsible for causing, committing, or maintaining the public nuisance under LMC 3-16.07(H).

The City Council may institute a lawsuit to collect any amounts due by reason of the abatement of a nuisance by the city and to foreclose any existing liens for such amounts.

ANALYSIS
Abatement cost recovery.

Staff maintained an itemized record of the cost of work performed by staff and the independent contractors to abate the nuisance (Attachment 1 to this staff report) for a total of $56327.33. Per LMC 3-16.07(A), the cost of abating the public nuisance shall either be in the form of a lien on the property, a special assessment against the property, or the personal obligation of the owner and/or the person responsible for creating, causing, committing, or maintaining the public nuisance. The City is entitled to interest at the rate of 7% per annum from the date of confirmation of costs by the City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT
Approval would obligate the property owner of 2253-2257 Pacific Coast Highway to pay all costs directly contributing to the demolition ($56327.33), as opposed to the City.

OPTIONS

1. Conduct a public hearing, confirm the Cost Abatement report, and direct staff to proceed with the process for lien recordation in the amount of $56327.33.

2. Conduct a public hearing, confirm the Cost Abatement report, and direct staff to proceed with lien recordation in another amount.

3. Conduct a public hearing, confirm the Cost Abatement report, and provide staff alternate direction.

4. Conduct a public hearing and do not confirm the Cost Abatement report, assigning all costs to the City.
