FISCAL IMPACT
Pursuant to the Development Agreement, Magna & Magna, LLC (the “Applicant”) will pay the following public benefit and developer fees to the City:
a) Development Tax to the City in the amount of $1,206.12 per unit pursuant to Ordinance No. 2331; and
b) Parkland Fees to the City in the amount $2,500 per unit as required by City Ordinance No. 2407; and
c) Off-Site Transit Stop Enhancements fee of $15,000 (one-time) to be used to provide enhancements to the nearest transit stop including the installation of a new covered transit stop and related passenger amenities such as lighting, seating, and trash receptacles.
The above-referenced fees would be paid prior to the issuance of building permits and/or certificates of occupancy in connection with the proposed project. The project would generate approximately $593,154.72 in fee revenue per the Development Agreement.
The revenue would be recorded in the Park Development Fund ($2,500 per unit x 156 units = $390,000 in Fund 250), and the General Fund ($1,206.12 per unit x 156 units + $15,000 transit stop = $203,154.72).
In addition to the Development Agreement revenue, once completed the project will generate additional property tax, which will benefit the City directly as well as other agencies receiving a share of the property tax revenue (e.g. school districts, County, special districts, etc.). Future budgets will include estimated revenue from this project.
BACKGROUND
In February 2021, the City received a request from Magna & Magna, Inc. for a Planned Development District, Parking Management Plan, Site Plan Review, and Development Agreement to construct 140 residential dwelling units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N Poplar Avenue) and construct 16 residential dwelling units at Project Site B (129-133 N Poplar Avenue) for a total of 156 units.
Staff attended three separate neighborhood outreach meetings held and organized by the Applicant. In addition, staff attended two separate meetings that were also organized by the Applicant and intended to address questions and concerns, as well as provide advance notice to residents, regarding relocation. These meetings were held as follows:

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT
Pursuant to Section 17.38.010 of the MMC, a plan development district ("PD") is a master planning mechanism for the development of larger parcels of land in residential, commercial and manufacturing zones where the existing underlying development standards do not functionally allow for reasonable development. This master planning mechanism allows for a comprehensive approach to development on a single parcel or contiguous parcels of land under single or joint ownership, and allow for flexibility in land use controls typically required by another zoning designation. The planned development mechanism encourages the use of modern planning and development techniques thereby ensuring more efficient utilization of land in the community.
Pursuant to Section 17.38.110, the Planning Commission and City Council must make the following findings:
A. The site for the proposed use is in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
The proposed Planned Development is in compliance with Chapter 17.38 of the Zoning Code. Consistent with MMC Section 17.38.010, the Planned Development would allow for flexibility in land use controls, as the existing underlying development standards do not functionally allow for reasonable development of the project sites. The projects proposed for Project Site A and Project Site B are CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022
Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N.

in substantial compliance with the MMC; however, inefficiencies in the MMC do not recognize current residential building and market trends or site specific conditions. Therefore, relief is sought for certain development standards contained in the MMC through a Planned Development approval.
As detailed below, consistent with MMC Chapter 17.38, the Planned Development would, among other things: provide for sound and efficient development of project sites with unique topographic land features and/or having irregular shape; allow the development of large residential projects in such a manner to ensure that the projects are consistent with the elements of the general plan, and to assure that the projects will be compatible with surrounding existing and proposed land uses; reduce or eliminate the rigidity, delays, and inequities that otherwise may result from the application of land use regulations; and encourage architectural design diversity and avoid monotony by allowing greater freedom in the design of architectural elements to provide access, light, open space, and amenities in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
Consistent with MMC Section 17.38.040, the project sites comprising the Planned Development would have a total area of more than one-half acre. With approval of the Planned Development, the projects will be in compliance with the MMC.
Project A
Project Site A is an approximately 73,807 square foot trapezoidal irregularlyshaped site. The topography of the site trends downwards towards the south and east and presents unique challenges to the development of a MMC compliant, modern, and architecturally uniform structure. This is reflected in the irregular and inefficient location of the current buildings including carports on the site. The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. In this case, there will be three separate parcels held together as one for a single building site. The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 24 units under the current density standards. There are currently 41 units located on the project site, almost double the number permitted under the MMC. As part of the required Planned Development approval, the project includes 140 units (including 30 units affordable to lower- CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

income households) at a density of approximately 83 units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project A’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking.
The MMC allows a maximum of 1 bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 74 bedrooms under this standard. Project A would include a total of 237 bedrooms, exceeding this requirement. The project includes a mix of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom units and units that will range in size as follows: 616 square feet for the studio units; onebedroom units from 730 square feet to 900 square feet; two-bedroom units from 1,100 square feet to 1,500 square feet; and three-bedroom units from 1,472 to 1,780 square feet. These unit sizes are ample and spacious for the market and match or exceed square footages seen in similar projects. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the sloping topography, unique shape of the lot, and constrained access to the site from Poplar Avenue. Applying the MMC standards for density and bedroom count would negatively impact the unit count and unit sizes of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number, variety, and quality of units that could be provided.
Per the MMC, the maximum lot coverage in the R-3 Zone is 60%. Lot coverage standards exist to regulate the number and size of structures on a lot to allow for open space and adequate light and ventilation. Typically, lot coverage represents the percentage of building area-generally measured by the building footprint or roof lines as a proportion to the land area of the site. The existing site is developed with structures of varying sizes and shapes and currently has a lot coverage of approximately 42%. The proposed project would have a lot coverage of 57%, in compliance with the MMC standard.
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the height limit of 25 feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limit of 35 feet set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 47 feet and 4 stories, as measured under the MMC, and does not include CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

stepbacks. The topography of the site slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site. The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The MMC requires a minimum open space of 150 square feet per unit for private open space and 100 square feet per unit for common open space with a total of 300 square feet open space per unit thus requiring 42,000 square feet in total. The nature of the topography of the site and its shape precludes the project from providing the minimum open space distribution between private and common open space; therefor, the project requests an approximate 25% reduction in required open space and would provide a total of 31,360 square feet of open space. The requested open space reduction is appropriate because the project would still provide ample private and public on-site open space, especially compared to the existing development which includes very little on-site open space. The project features state-of-the-art amenities, including balconies for each unit, a courtyard with a pool, water feature, kids play area, barbeques, cabanas, seating areas, and a solar panel zone designed for the installation of future solar panels. Therefore, the project provides abundant open space and high-quality open space and recreation areas for residents, and the triangular design of the building with a large central open courtyard will provide all units in the building ample light and ventilation.
Pursuant to the State of California’s Density Bonus Law (Cal. Govt. Code Section 65915), because the project would include at least 10% of the units for lowerincome households, the project is not required to provide more than one on-site parking space per studio unit and one-bedroom unit, and 1.5 on-site parking space per two-bedroom unit and three-bedroom units (including parking for CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

persons with a disability and guest parking). Per Section 17.52.050 of the MMC, the 140-unit project will require 327 off-street parking spaces. However, based on the ratios provided under the State of California’s Density Bonus Law, Project A is required to provide a minimum of 182 total parking spaces. The project will exceed this requirement and provide a total of 298 parking spaces located in two subterranean levels. In addition, the project will provide 14 short-term bicycle racks and 140 long-term bicycle racks. The proposed building provides an efficient design and layout considering the site constraints and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking including the use of tandem and compact parking spaces. The project would include the approval of a Parking Management Plan for the tandem and compact parking spaces.
Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. For example, Project Site A is located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the project is wellserved by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to ride-share services.
The MMC requires building setbacks of 20 feet from the front property line, 5 feet along the side yard setback and 10 feet from the rear yard property line. The MMC also requires a one-foot stepback for every three feet over 15 feet. In this case, the project meets all the required building setbacks, except it does not include the one-foot stepback. The setbacks are building facades and elevations is sufficient given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, main entryway to the courtyard with a direct visual line of sight, and abundant landscaping along the front setback. If the stepback requirement were observed, it would require the reduction of the courtyard area and would reduce the overall number of units.
The MMC requires 100 cubic feet of storage per residential unit. The building’s subterranean garage is the most efficient and effective location for these storage units given the site topographical and access constraints.
The project offers storage units for each unit in the building conveniently located at both garage levels. The project includes storage units that are generally CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022
Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
stacked and include 136.9 cubic feet per unit. In addition, each residential unit has ample interior closet space offsetting the need for such extensive storage requirements.
The MMC requires trash areas for multiple-family dwellings to provide the equivalent of not less than seventy-five gallon capacity container per dwelling unit.
Where commercial trash containers (three cubic yards or more) are used, one container is required for every seven dwelling units and trash areas are required to be located within one hundred fifty feet of the units which they serve. Under the MMC, the project would be required to provide 20 commercial trash containers, and the project includes trash rooms with trash bin areas located at three locations in the upper parking level with a total of 24 trash bins. These bins are served by trash chutes for convenient and easy access by the residents.
The project will have frequent trash pickup service throughout the week to ensure that the project’s trash demands are adequately served. With 24 commercial trash bins and frequent trash pickup service, the project will include adequate trash facilities.
The project will be fully code compliant with all applicable fire/life/safety and California Title 24 building energy efficiency standards. In addition, the project will be responsible for paying all applicable fees and will upgrade all utilities and infrastructure to serve the projects thereby not negatively impacting the surrounding area or the City as a whole. The new construction will positively enhance property values and the property tax base of the City. With approval of the Planned Development, Project A will be in compliance with the MMC.
Project B
Project Site B is comprised of two rectangular-shaped parcels totaling approximately 12,500 square feet. While the shape of the lot is not irregular, the density and other regulatory standards set forth in the R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone would allow for the construction of a maximum of four units and as such is not conducive to the encouragement of reinvestment in housing stock.
In this case, there will be two separate parcels held together as one for a uniform project. The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
site could only yield four units under the density standards and allows bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area. The site is currently improved with two singlefamily residences. As part of the required Planned Development approval, the project includes 16 units (including 2 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 56 units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project B’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking.
The MMC allows a maximum of 1 bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 12 bedrooms under this standard. Project A would include a total of 30 bedrooms, exceeding this limit. The project includes a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and unit will range in size as follows:
825 square feet for the one-bedroom units; 891 square feet to 1,083 feet for the two-bedroom units; and 1,179 square feet for the three-bedroom units. These unit sizes are ample and spacious for the market and match or exceed square footages seen in similar projects. The building is integrated into the landscape and small size and limited access to the site from Poplar Avenue and the alley.
Applying the MMC standards for density and bedroom count would negatively impact the unit count and unit sizes of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number, variety, and quality of units that could be provided.
Per the MMC, the maximum lot coverage is 60%. Lot coverage standards exist to regulate the number and size of structures on a lot to allow for open space and adequate light and ventilation. Typically, lot coverage represents the percentage of building area-generally measured by the building footprint or roof lines as a proportion to the land area of the site. The building is designed as a single, integrated structure and meets the MMC side and rear yard setbacks.
The project has a lot coverage of 74% which is necessary to accommodate the proposed density. The building is inviting and spacious and strict adherence to the lot coverage standard based on the site’s small size would result in unique challenges that would compromise the integrity of the building’s design and reduce the number of units that could be provided.
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022
Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
Development will propose to exceed the height limit of 25 feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limit of 35 feet set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 34 feet and 6 inches and 3 stories (including one parking level), as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. All elevations of the building feature architectural details including brow pieces and trellis structures over the upper balconies, score lines on the walls, a decorative tile mansard roof, and vine pockets along the south and north elevations to soften the buildings appearance.
The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The MMC requires a minimum open space of 150 square feet for private open space and 100 square feet for common open space and a total of 300 square feet per unit thus requiring 4,800 square feet in total. The small size of the site precludes the project from providing the MMC minimum required open space or meeting the minimum open space distribution between private and common open space; therefore, the project requests an approximate 25% reduction in required open space and would provide a total of 3,650 square feet of open space. The requested open space reduction is appropriate because the project would still provide ample private and public on-site open space. The project features state-of-the art, high-quality amenities including balconies for each unit and a rooftop deck with patio furniture.
Pursuant to the State of California’s Density Bonus Law (Cal. Govt. Code Section 65915), because the project would include at least 10% of the units for lowerincome households, the project is not required to provide more than one on-site parking space per studio unit and one-bedroom unit, and 1.5 on-site parking spaces per two-bedroom unit and three-bedroom units (including parking for persons with a disability and guest parking). Per Section 17.52.050 of the MMC, the 16-unit project will require 37 off-street parking spaces. However, based on the ratios provided under the State of California’s Density Bonus Law, Project B is required to provide a minimum of 22 total parking spaces. The project will exceed this requirement and provide a total of 30 parking spaces. The project will provide a combination of side-by-side and tandem parking spaces in a controlled CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

tuck under garage. In addition, the project will provide 16 bicycle parking spaces.
The proposed building provides an efficient design and layout considering the site constraints and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking including the use of tandem and compact parking spaces. The project would include the approval of a Parking Management Plan for the tandem and compact parking spaces. Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. For example, Project Site B is located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the project is well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to ride-share services.
The MMC requires building setbacks of 20 feet from the front property line, 5 feet along the side yard setback and 10 feet from the rear yard property line. The MMC also requires a one-foot stepback for every three feet over 15 feet. In this case, the project exceeds the side yard setbacks. The front property line (east elevation facing Poplar Avenue) is proposed at 15 feet and the building does not include the one-foot stepback. The 15-foot setback is sufficient given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, main entryway, and abundant landscaping along the front setback. If the stepback requirement were observed, it would require the reduction of the rooftop deck and would reduce the overall number of units. The rear yard setback is proposed at 5 feet where 10 feet is required; however, the rear yard faces the alley so the effective setback from the properties across the alley is 15 feet.
The MMC requires 100 cubic feet of storage per residential unit. The building’s garage is the most efficient and effective location for these storage units given small size of the site. The project includes storage units that are stacked above the front ends of parking spaces and provide 100 cubic feet overall for each unit. In addition, each residential unit has ample interior closet space.
The MMC requires trash areas for multiple-family dwellings to provide the CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

equivalent of not less than seventy-five gallon capacity container per dwelling unit.
Where commercial trash containers (three cubic yards or more) are used, one container is required for every seven dwelling units and trash areas are required to be located within one hundred fifty feet of the units which they serve. Under the MMC, the project would be required to provide two commercial trash bins, and the project includes a dedicated trash and recycling area located at the ground level. The project will have frequent trash pickup throughout the week to ensure that the project’s trash demands are adequately served. With a dedicated trash and recycling area and frequent trash pickup service, the project will include adequate trash facilities.
The project will be fully code compliant with all applicable fire/life/safety and California Title 24 building energy efficiency standards. In addition, the project will be responsible for paying all applicable fees and will upgrade all utilities and infrastructure to serve the projects thereby not negatively impacting the surrounding area or the City as a whole. The new construction will positively enhance property values and the property tax base of the City.
With approval of the Planned Development, the project on Project Site B will be in compliance with the MMC.
B. The project is consistent with the subdivision regulations, with the general intent of the zoning regulations, with the general plan, and with any applicable specific plan.
The projects, including the proposed Planned Development with Density Overlay and Height Overlay, would be consistent with the general intent of the zoning regulations and with the City’s General Plan. The projects do not propose any subdivision and there is no applicable specific plan.
Per Section 17.02.020 of the MMC, the purpose of the zoning code is “to permit the most compatible use of land within the city, consistent with the needs of residential, commercial and industrial developments, and the promotion of the public health, safety, welfare and general prosperity of the city and its CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
residents.” Both projects are of the high-quality design and have a layout with a scale and massing harmonious with the area, and represent a significant reinvestment in the City. They would be compatible with the existing residential uses in the vicinity of the project sites, and would contribute to the City’s residential needs.
One policy of the Land Use Element of the General Plan is that “Residential development of varying densities and housing types should be compatible among themselves and with adjacent commercial and industrial development”. Another policy of the same element states “Opportunities for a variety of living needs should be available in various locations throughout the City”. For both project sites, separate parcels will be combined to form a single building site which in turn creates opportunities for excellence in design, site layout, and more efficient vehicular and pedestrian access. Both Project A and Project B are of high-quality architectural design and offer amenity-rich rental housing opportunities not commonly found in the City of Montebello. This would be consistent with the General Plan’s policy of provide varying housing types and opportunities for a variety of living needs in the City.
A stated purpose of the 2016-2021 Housing Element is “to review development standards to improve site design, architectural quality, and livability of multi-family units”. The 2016-2021 Housing Element contemplated updating the Zoning Standards for the R-3 zone to accommodate the additional housing needs identified in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA); however, these revised standards have not been codified. The project design for both sites’ layout is efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The projects utilize efficient design concepts and are integrated into the neighborhood and are therefore compatible with the surrounding uses. In addition, the new residents will support and enhance demand for commercial services from the nearby business districts in the City.
Other stated purposes of the 2016-2021 Housing Element are “to minimize governmental constraints, market constraints, and environmental constraints that may impede the development of new housing,” and “to address future housing CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

needs by expanding housing opportunities in the City.” The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. The projects would utilize the MMC’s Planned Development provisions to achieve additional density and certain deviations from the R-3 development standards to expand housing opportunities in the City and meet the goals of the City’s Housing Element. The projects would make a substantial contribution towards meeting the City’s RHNA allocation, including its affordable housing allocation, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Housing Element.
The projects would also support the following policies of the 2016-2021 Housing Element related to affordable housing:
Policy 4.1. The City will continue to encourage the development of affordable housing throughout the community.
Policy 4.5. The City will continue to encourage development of new housing in proximity to public services, transportation routes, and other community facilities.
Policy 4.6. The City will encourage the establishment of a variety of affordability levels in multiple-projects.
Consistent with Policy 4.1, the projects would include a total of 32 units affordable to lower-income households (30 in Project A and 2 in Project B). Consistent with Policy 4.5, these units would be constructed in proximity to nearby public transportation routes and other community facilities. Consistent with Policy
4.6, the projects would be mixed-income projects with a variety of affordability levels, both market-rate and affordable to lower-income households.
C. Is compatible with present and future development of the property within the immediate vicinity.

Planned Development will look to exceed the permitted height under the R-3 Zone development standards. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limit of 35 feet set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 47 feet and 4 stories, as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. The topography of the site slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site. The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties. Therefore, the project physically relates to the adjacent and surrounding properties in the vicinity.
Project B
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development will propose to exceed to height limit set forth in the R-3 Zone. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limit of 35 feet set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 34 feet and six inches and 3 stories (including one level of parking), as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. While the site is relatively flat and rectangular-shaped, the small size of the site necessitates the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The site abuts Poplar Avenue to the east, an alley to the west, two-story multi-family buildings to the north and while some of the adjoining properties to the south and east across the alley are improved with single-family homes, the building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties. Therefore, the project physically relates to the adjacent and surrounding properties in the vicinity.

As discussed above, given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, and abundant landscaping along the front setback, the projects’ setbacks are sufficient and would also be compatible with present and future development of property within the immediate vicinity.
D. Is consistent with the general peace, health, safety and general welfare.
Section 17.02.020 of the MMC, allows in part for the regulation of land uses to promote compatibility consistent with the needs of the respective land use type and to promote the public health, safety, welfare and general prosperity of the city and its residents. Both projects are of high-quality design and have a layout with a scale and massing harmonious with the area, and represent a significant reinvestment in the City.
The topography of the Project Site A slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building.

Both buildings’ setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the buildings to adjacent properties. Except for the relief being sought by the Planned Development approval to exceed in density and height, both projects are designed to be fully compliant with the intent of the required codes and standards and will pay all required development-related fees.

(including quality affordable housing) in the rental market in the region with convenient access to the job market, and will provide the residents a greater variety of housing options (including affordable housing).
In addition, the projects would not adversely affect the general peace, health, safety, and welfare of surrounding residents, because the projects will be constructed in accordance with all applicable City regulations. Construction will occur within the permitted hours. Furthermore, the projects will comply with all Low Impact Development (LID) and building code requirements E. That the permitted uses and development standards adopted as part of the PD will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, but will have a beneficial effect which could not have been adequately achieved under the preexisting zoning district.
The projects proposed for Project Site A and Project Site B are in substantial compliance with the MMC; however, inefficiencies in the MMC do not recognize current residential building and market trends or site specific conditions.
Therefore, relief is sought for certain development standards contained in the MMC through a Planned Development approval. With approval of the Planned Development, the projects will be in compliance with the MMC.
Project Site A is an approximately 73,807 square foot trapezoidal irregularlyshaped site. The topography of the site trends downwards towards the south and east and presents unique challenges to the development of a MMC compliant, modern, and architecturally uniform structure. This is reflected in the irregular and inefficient location of the current buildings including carports on the site. The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 24 units under the density standards. There are currently 41 units located on the project site, almost double the number permitted under the MMC. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose 140 units (including 30 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 83 units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project A’s CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the sloping topography, unique shape of the lot, and constrained access to the site from Poplar Avenue. Applying the MMC standards for density would negatively impact the unit count of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number of units that could be provided.
Project Site B is comprised of two parcels with approximately 12,500 square feet that is rectangular-shaped. While the shape of the lot is not irregular, the density and other regulatory standards set forth in the R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone would allow for the construction of a maximum of four units and as such is not conducive to the encouragement of reinvestment in housing stock. In this case, there will be two separate parcels held together as one for a uniform project.
The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield four units under the density standards and allows bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area. The site is currently improved with two single-family residences. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose 16 units (including 2 units affordable to lowerincome households) at a density of approximately 56 units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project B’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the small size and limited access to the site from Poplar Avenue and the alley.
Applying the MMC standards for density would negatively impact the unit count of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number of units that could be provided.
Project A and Project B (collectively “the projects”) will be constructed in accordance with all pertinent building code requirements. Construction will occur during the permitted hours of operation. In addition, the projects will include energy and water efficient fixtures, LID appurtenances, bicycle racks, and designated areas for solar panels. The trips generated by the proposed project will not exceed the capacity of the adjacent streets, nor will the projects’ trips result CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

in a deterioration of any intersection levels of service. The new development will increase property values in the area and will assist the City in achieving its RHNA goals by providing necessary rental housing (including affordable housing). The implementation of the Planned Development is essential, because the current zoning conditions do not permit an increase in density. The existing conditions presently limit the City’s ability to meet its RNHA targets. In addition, the 2016- 2021 Housing Element contemplated updating the Zoning Standards for the R-3 zone to accommodate the additional housing needs identified in the RHNA; however, these revised standards have not been codified. The projects would make a substantial contribution towards meeting the City’s RHNA allocation, and would also provide a substantial share of affordable housing, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Housing Element.
For all of these reasons, the Planned Development with will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, and will have beneficial effects which could not have been adequately achieved under the pre-existing zoning district.
F. That the proposed on-site streets and thoroughfares are adequate in size to accommodate the traffic volume generated by the proposed PD, and increased densities will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street network outside the PD boundary.
The existing roadways are adequate in size to accommodate the projects’ trip generation. According to the traffic impact analysis that was prepared for the project, each of the roadway segments nearest the project sites operate at a Level of Service (LOS) C or better, both with and without the project. As a result, the addition of project traffic would not result in any of the roadway segments exceeding their available capacities. In addition, the roadways are wide enough to accommodate construction and project traffic.
In addition, the projects will provide on-site bicycle parking, and public transportation options also exist for residents of the projects. For example, the project sites are located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the projects are well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines.
These alternative transportation options will reduce vehicle trips and further ensure that increased densities do not generate traffic that overloads the surrounding street network
G. That the exceptions, if any, from the development standards of the zoning code are warranted by the design and amenities, as incorporated, are in accord with adopted policies of the planning commission and the city council.
As discussed in Finding 1 above, the projects would include certain exceptions from the development standards of the Zoning Code to provide highquality architectural design and offer amenity-rich rental housing opportunities not commonly found in the City of Montebello, in addition to helping the City meet its housing needs.
Project Site A will include architectural projections at key locations along the building which create visual interest and articulation, both of which are desirable design features. At Project Site B, the building elevations will feature architectural details including brow pieces and trellis structures over the upper balconies, score lines on the walls, a decorative tile mansard roof, and vine pockets along the south and north elevations to soften the buildings appearance. The Planned Development for the projects will allow each building to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building for each project site.
The projects will include new LID appurtenances; energy and water efficient fixtures; bicycle parking; designated solar areas; abundant recreational amenities including a gym, pool, and children’s play area; and electric vehicle charging stations.
The projects will assist the City in meeting or exceeding their RNHA allocation by providing more rental housing (including affordable housing) than the existing development standards would permit, consistent with the City’s CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

policies as identified in its General Plan.
H. That the existing or proposed utility services and facilities are adequate for the proposed population densities and nonresidential uses.
The two project sites are currently occupied by existing residential units. The implementation of the projects will result in an increase in water consumption and sewage and solid waste generation over the present conditions. Nevertheless, the new apartment units will be equipped with water and energy efficient fixtures and appliances. In addition, the two buildings will include a designated solar area for future solar panels. New utility lines will be provided to accommodate the increase in demand and usage for utility services. These new water and sewer lines will be large enough to accommodate the increase in volume of effluent discharged from the project area
I. That the proposed buildings and structures are situated in such a manner to minimize impacting the privacy of existing abutting residential uses.
The new buildings at Project Site A and Project Site B will be adequately set back from the adjacent residential units.
The height of the proposed building at Project Site A is 47 feet and 4 stories, as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. The topography of the site slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site. The building setbacks and articulation will adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.

Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
The height of the proposed building at Project Site B is 34 feet and six inches and 3 stories (including one level of parking), as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. While the site is relatively flat and rectangular-shaped, the small size of the site necessitates the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The site abuts Poplar Avenue to the east, an alley to the west, two-story multi-family buildings to the north and while some of the adjoining properties to the south and east across the alley are improved with single-family homes, the building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The projects’ building setbacks and articulation will serve to minimize impacts on the privacy of existing abutting residential uses.
SITE PLAN REVIEW
Pursuant to Section 17.74.030 of the MMC, a site plan review is required for all residential projects resulting in three or more dwelling units. The proposed construction exceeds two dwelling units and will therefore require a Site Plan Review.
Pursuant to Section 17.74.070 of the MMC, before any site plan review shall be granted, all of the following findings must be made:
A. That the proposed design for improvement complies with all requirements of the MMC.
The projects proposed for Project Site A and Project Site B are in substantial compliance with the MMC; however, inefficiencies in the MMC do not recognize current residential building and market trends or site specific conditions.
Therefore, relief is sought for certain development standards contained in the MMC through a Planned Development approval. With approval of the Planned Development, the projects will be in compliance with the MMC.

Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
Project A
Project Site A is an approximately 73,807 square foot trapezoidal irregularlyshaped site. The topography of the site trends downwards towards the south and east and presents unique challenges to the development of a MMC compliant, modern, and architecturally uniform structure. This is reflected in the irregular and inefficient location of the current buildings including carports on the site. The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. In this case, there will be three separate parcels held together as one for a single building site. The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 24 units under the density standards.
There are currently 41 units located on the project site, almost double the number permitted under the MMC. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose 140 units (including 30 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 83 units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project A’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking.
The MMC allows a maximum of 1 bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 74 bedrooms under this standard. Project A would include a total of 237 bedrooms, exceeding this limit. The project includes a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and units will range in size as follows: 616 square feet for the studio units; one-bedroom units from 730 square feet to 900 square feet; two-bedroom units from 1,100 square feet to 1,500 square feet; and three-bedroom units from 1,472 to 1,780 square feet. These unit sizes are ample and spacious for the market and match or exceed square footages seen in similar projects. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the sloping topography, unique shape of the lot, and constrained access to the site from Poplar Avenue. Applying the MMC standards for density and bedroom count would negatively impact the unit count and unit sizes of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number, variety, and quality of units that could be provided.

Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
Per the MMC, the maximum lot coverage is 60%. Lot coverage standards exist to regulate the number and size of structures on a lot to allow for open space and adequate light and ventilation. Typically, lot coverage represents the percentage of building area-generally measured by the building footprint or roof lines as a proportion to the land area of the site. The existing site is developed with structures of varying sizes and shapes and currently has a lot coverage of approximately 42%. The proposed project would have a lot coverage of 57%, in compliance with the MMC standard.
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the permitted height of 25 feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limit of 35 feet set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 47 feet, as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks.
The topography of the site slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building.
The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street.
The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site. The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The MMC requires a minimum open space of 150 square feet for private open space and 100 square feet for common open space and a total of 300 square feet per unit thus requiring 42,000 square feet in total. The nature of the topography of the site and its shape precludes the project from providing the MMC minimum required open space or meeting the minimum open space distribution between private and common open space; therefore, the project requests an approximate 25% reduction in required open space and would provide a total of 31,360 square feet of open space. The requested open space reduction is appropriate because the project would still provide ample private and public CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022
Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
on-site open space, especially compared to the existing development which includes very little on-site open space. The project features state-of-the-art amenities, including balconies for each unit, a courtyard with a pool, water feature, kids play area, barbeques, cabanas, seating areas, cabanas, and a solar panel zone designed for installation for future solar panels. Therefore, the project provides abundant and high-quality open space and recreation areas for residents and the triangular design of the building with a large central open courtyard will provide all units in the building ample light and ventilation.
Pursuant to the State of California’s Density Bonus Law (Cal. Govt. Code Section 65915), because the project would include at least 10% of the units for lowerincome households, the project is not required to provide more than one on-site parking space per studio unit and one-bedroom unit, and 1.5 on-site parking spaces per two-bedroom unit and three-bedroom units (including parking for persons with a disability and guest parking). Based on these ratios, Project A is required to provide a minimum of 182 total parking spaces. The project will exceed this requirement and provide a total of 298 parking spaces located in two subterranean levels. In addition, the project will provide 14 shortterm bicycle racks and 140 long-term bicycle racks. The proposed building provides an efficient design and layout considering the site constraints and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking including the use of tandem and compact parking spaces. The project would include the approval of a Parking Management Plan for the tandem and compact parking spaces. Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. For example, Project Site A is located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the project is well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to rideshare services.
The MMC requires building setbacks of 20 feet from the front property line, 5 feet along the side yard setback and 10 feet from the rear yard property line. The MMC also requires a one-foot stepback for every three feet over 15 feet. In this case, CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
the project meets all the required building setbacks, except it does not include the one-foot stepback. The setbacks and building facades and elevations are sufficient given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, main entryway to the courtyard with a direct visual line of sight, and abundant landscaping along the front setback. If the stepback requirement were observed, it would require the reduction of the courtyard area and would reduce the overall number of units.
The MMC requires 100 cubic feet of storage per residential unit. The building’s subterranean garage is the most efficient and effective location for these storage units given the site topographical and access constraints. The project offers storage units for each unit in the building conveniently located at both garage levels. The project includes storage units that are generally stacked and include 136.9 cubic feet per unit. In addition, each residential unit has ample interior closet space offsetting the need for such extensive storage requirements.
The MMC requires trash areas for multiple-family dwellings to provide the equivalent of not less than seventy-five gallon capacity container per dwelling unit.
Where commercial trash containers (three cubic yards or more) are used, one container is required for every seven dwelling units and trash areas are required to be located within one hundred fifty feet of the units which they serve. Under the MMC, the project would be required to provide 20 commercial trash containers, and the project includes trash rooms with trash bin areas located at three locations in the upper parking level with a total of 24 trash bins. These bins are served by trash chutes for convenient and easy access by the residents. The project will have frequent trash pickup throughout the week to ensure that the project’s trash demands are adequately served. With 24 commercial trash bins and frequent trash pickup service, the project will include adequate trash facilities.
The project will be fully code compliant with all applicable fire/life/safety and California Title 24 building energy efficiency standards. In addition, the project will be responsible for paying all applicable fees and will upgrade all utilities and infrastructure to serve the projects thereby not negatively impacting the CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

surrounding area or the City as a whole. The new construction will positively enhance property values and the property tax base of the City. With approval of the Planned Development, Project A will be in compliance with the MMC.
Project B
Project Site B comprises two parcels with approximately 12,500 square feet that is rectangular-shaped. While the shape of the lot is not irregular, the density and other regulatory standards set forth in the R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone would allow for the construction of a maximum of four units and as such is not conducive to the encouragement of reinvestment in housing stock. In this case, there will be two separate parcels held together as one for a uniform project.
The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield four units under the density standards and allows bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area. The site is currently improved with two single-family residences. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose 16 units (including 2 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 56 units per acre.
This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project B’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The MMC allows a maximum of 1 bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 12 bedrooms under this standard. Project A would include a total of 30 bedrooms, exceeding this limit. The project includes a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and unit will range in size as follows:
825 square feet for the one-bedroom units; 891 square feet to 1,083 feet for the two-bedroom units; and 1,179 square feet for the three-bedroom units. These unit sizes are ample and spacious for the market and match or exceed square footages seen in similar projects. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the small size and limited access to the site from Poplar Avenue and the alley. Applying the MMC standards for density and bedroom count would negatively impact the unit count and unit sizes of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number, variety, and quality of units that could be provided.

Per the MMC, the maximum lot coverage is 60%. Lot coverage standards exist to regulate the number and size of structures on a lot to allow for open space and adequate light and ventilation. Typically, lot coverage represents the percentage of building area-generally measured by the building footprint or roof lines as a proportion to the land area of the site. The building is designed as a single, integrated structure and meets the MMC side and rear yard setbacks.
The project has a lot coverage of 74% which is necessary to accommodate the proposed density. The building is inviting and spacious and strict adherence to the lot coverage standard based on the site’s small size would result in unique challenges that would compromise the integrity of the building’s design and reduce the number of units that could be provided.
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the permitted height of 25 feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limit of 35 feet set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 34 feet and 6 inches and 3 stories (including one parking level), as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks.

and a rooftop deck with patio furniture.
Pursuant to the State of California’s Density Bonus Law (Cal. Govt. Code Section 65915), because the project would include at least 10% of the units for lowerincome households, the project is not required to provide more than one on-site parking space per studio unit and one-bedroom unit, and 1.5 on-site parking spaces per two-bedroom unit and three-bedroom units (including parking for persons with a disability and guest parking). Based on these ratios, Project B is required to provide a minimum of 22 total parking spaces. The project will exceed this requirement and provide a total of 30 parking spaces. The project will provide a combination of side-by-side and tandem parking spaces in a controlled tuck under garage. In addition, the project will provide 16 bicycle parking spaces. The proposed building provides an efficient design and layout considering the site constraints and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking including the use of tandem and compact parking spaces.

The MMC requires building setbacks of 20 feet from the front property line, 5 feet along the side yard setback and 10 feet from the rear yard property line. The MMC also requires a one-foot stepback for every three feet over 15 feet. In this case, the project exceeds the side yard setbacks. The front property line (east elevation facing Poplar Avenue) is proposed at 15 feet and the building does not include the one-foot stepback. The 15-foot setback is sufficient given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, main entryway, and abundant landscaping along the front setback.

units. The rear yard setback is proposed at 5 feet where 10 feet is required; however, the rear yard faces the alley so the effective setback from the properties across the alley is 15 feet.
The MMC requires 100 cubic feet of storage per residential unit. The building’s garage is the most efficient and effective location for these storage units given small size of the site. The project includes storage units that are stacked above the front ends of parking spaces and provide 100 cubic feet overall for each unit. In addition, each residential unit has ample interior closet space.
The MMC requires trash areas for multiple-family dwellings to provide the equivalent of not less than seventy-five gallon capacity container per dwelling unit.
Where commercial trash containers (three cubic yards or more) are used, one container is required for every seven dwelling units and trash areas are required to be located within one hundred fifty feet of the units which they serve. Under the MMC, the project would be required to provide two commercial trash bins, and the project includes a dedicated trash and recycling area located at the ground level. The project will have frequent trash pickup throughout the week to ensure that the project’s trash demands are adequately served.

City’s General Plan.
One policy of the Land Use Element of the General Plan is that “Residential development of varying densities and housing types should be compatible among themselves and with adjacent commercial and industrial development”. Another policy of the same element states “Opportunities for a variety of living needs should be available in various locations throughout the City”. For both project sites, separate parcels will be combined to form a single building site which in turn creates opportunities for excellence in design, site layout, and more efficient vehicular and pedestrian access. Both Project A and Project B are of high-quality architectural design and offer amenity-rich rental housing opportunities not commonly found in the City of Montebello. This would be consistent with the General Plan’s policy of provide varying housing types and opportunities for a variety of living needs in the City.
A stated purpose of the 2016-2021 Housing Element is “to review development standards to improve site design, architectural quality, and livability of multi-family units”. The 2016-2021 Housing Element contemplated updating the Zoning Standards for the R-3 zone to accommodate the additional housing needs identified in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA); however, these revised standards have not been codified. The project design for both sites’ layout is efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The projects utilize efficient design concepts and are integrated into the neighborhood and are therefore compatible with the surrounding uses. In addition, the new residents will support and enhance demand for commercial services from the nearby business districts in the City.
Other stated purposes of the 2016-2021 Housing Element are “to minimize governmental constraints, market constraints, and environmental constraints that may impede the development of new housing,” and “to address future housing needs by expanding housing opportunities in the City.” The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. The projects would utilize the MMC’s Planned Development provisions to achieve additional density and certain CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022

deviations from the R-3 development standards to expand housing opportunities in the City and meet the goals of the City’s Housing Element. The projects would make a substantial contribution towards meeting the City’s RHNA allocation, including its affordable housing allocation, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Housing Element.
The projects would also support the following policies of the 2016-2021 Housing Element related to affordable housing:
Policy 4.1. The City will continue to encourage the development of affordable housing throughout the community.
Policy 4.5. The City will continue to encourage development of new housing in proximity to public services, transportation routes, and other community facilities.
Policy 4.6. The City will encourage the establishment of a variety of affordability levels in multiple-projects.
Consistent with Policy 4.1, the projects would include a total of 32 units affordable to lower-income households (30 in Project A and 2 in Project B). Consistent with Policy 4.5, these units would be constructed in proximity to nearby public transportation routes and other community facilities. Consistent with Policy 4.6, the projects would be mixed-income projects with a variety of affordability levels, both market-rate and affordable to lower-income households.
C. That the proposed design for improvement will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties or on the general public welfare.
Section 17.02.020 of the MMC, allows in part for the regulation of land uses to promote compatibility consistent with the needs of the respective land use type and to promote the public health, safety, welfare and general prosperity of the city and its residents. Both projects are of high-quality design and have a layout with a scale and massing harmonious with the area, and represent a significant reinvestment in the City.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022
Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
The topography of the Project Site A slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site. While Project Site B is relatively flat, the small size of the site necessitates the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project in order to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building.
Both buildings’ setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the buildings to adjacent properties. Except for the relief being sought by the Planned Development approval to exceed in density and height, and the Parking Management Plan, both projects are designed to be fully compliant with the intent of the required codes and standards and will pay all required development-related fees. Both projects will be assets to the City, will address the severe shortage of quality housing (including quality affordable housing) in the rental market in the region with convenient access to the job market, and will provide the residents a greater variety of housing options (including affordable housing).
PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN
The proposed project is requesting approval of a Parking Management Plan to allow tandem parking and compact parking as part of the multi-family projects.
Pursuant to Section 17.52.310 (B) of the MMC, a parking management plan may be approved or conditionally approved by the planning commission if the following findings can be made:
A. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan, any applicable specific plans, and the general intent of the zoning code.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022
Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
The projects, including the proposed Parking Management Plan to allow selfmanaged tandem parking, would be consistent with the general intent of the zoning regulations and with the City’s General Plan. The projects do not propose any subdivision and there is no applicable specific plan.
Per Section 17.02.020 of the MMC, the purpose of the zoning code is “to permit the most compatible use of land within the city, consistent with the needs of residential, commercial and industrial developments, and the promotion of the public health, safety, welfare and general prosperity of the city and its residents.” Both projects are of the high-quality design and have a layout with a scale and massing harmonious with the area, and represent a significant reinvestment in the City. They would be compatible with the existing residential uses in the vicinity of the project sites, and would contribute to the City’s residential needs.
One policy of the Land Use Element of the General Plan is that “Residential development of varying densities and housing types should be compatible among themselves and with adjacent commercial and industrial development”. Another policy of the same element states “Opportunities for a variety of living needs should be available in various locations throughout the City”. For both project sites, separate parcels will be combined to form a single building site which in turn creates opportunities for excellence in design, site layout, and more efficient vehicular and pedestrian access. Both Project A and Project B are of high-quality architectural design and offer amenity-rich rental housing opportunities not commonly found in the City of Montebello. This would be consistent with the General Plan’s policy of provide varying housing types and opportunities for a variety of living needs in the City.
A stated purpose of the 2016-2021 Housing Element is “to review development standards to improve site design, architectural quality, and livability of multi-family units”. The 2016-2021 Housing Element contemplated updating the Zoning Standards for the R-3 zone to accommodate the additional housing needs identified in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA); however, these revised standards have not been codified. The project design for CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022
Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
both sites’ layout is efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking.
The projects utilize efficient design concepts and are integrated into the neighborhood and are therefore compatible with the surrounding uses. In addition, the new residents will support and enhance demand for commercial services from the nearby business districts in the City.
Other stated purposes of the 2016-2021 Housing Element are “to minimize governmental constraints, market constraints, and environmental constraints that may impede the development of new housing,” and “to address future housing needs by expanding housing opportunities in the City.” The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. The projects would utilize the MMC’s Planned Development provisions to achieve additional density and certain deviations from the R-3 development standards to expand housing opportunities in the City and meet the goals of the City’s Housing Element. The projects would make a substantial contribution towards meeting the City’s RHNA allocation, including its affordable housing allocation, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Housing Element.
The projects would also support the following policies of the 2016-2021 Housing Element related to affordable housing:
Policy 4.1. The City will continue to encourage the development of affordable housing throughout the community.
Policy 4.5. The City will continue to encourage development of new housing in proximity to public services, transportation routes, and other community facilities.
Policy 4.6. The City will encourage the establishment of a variety of affordability levels in multiple-projects.
Consistent with Policy 4.1, the projects would include a total of 32 units affordable to lower-income households (30 in Project A and 2 in Project B). Consistent with Policy 4.5, these units would be constructed in proximity to nearby public transportation routes and other community facilities. Consistent with Policy 4.6, CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022
Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
the projects would be mixed-income projects with a variety of affordability levels, both market-rate and affordable to lower-income households.
B. The surrounding properties will not be adversely affected by the approval of the proposed parking management plan.
The proposed building represents an efficient design and layout and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking, including through the use of tandem and compact parking spaces.
Approval of the proposed Parking Management Plan would not adversely affect surrounding properties. All vehicular parking for both projects would be located on-site and would be enclosed. All tandem and compact parking spaces would be self-managed by individual tenants.
C. The proposed parking management plan is appropriate for the proposed land use.
Self-managed tandem parking and use of compact parking spaces are typical and appropriate for multi-family residential developments with enclosed on-site parking. The projects are designed to make the most efficient use of each site.
Due to site constraints and changes in topography, the buildings have been designed to be fully self-contained, including through the use of tandem and compact parking. Drive aisles have been designed to provide ample circulation and access. Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. The project sites are located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the projects are wellserved by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to ride-share services.
D. That adequate off-street parking for customers, clients, visitors, and employees will be available for the proposed land use.
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 13, 2022
Development Agreement No. 3973 with Magna & Magna, Inc., Planned Development District including a Density Overlay and Height Overlay and Precise Plan of Development, Parking Management Plan, and Site Plan Review to Allow the Construction of 140 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site A (116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Ave) and 16 Residential Dwelling Units at Project Site B (129-133 N. Poplar Ave) for a total of 156 Residential Dwelling Units (Case Nos. PC-2021-0008-PD-PMPSPR/DA-04-21/ENV-04-22-SE)
The projects are both multi-family residential buildings that will provide adequate parking for residents and guests. The buildings have been designed to be fully self-contained, including through the use of tandem and compact parking, to increase the amount of parking than could otherwise be provided without eliminating units. The projects include adequate short-term and long-term bicycle parking to supplement the vehicular parking. Therefore, adequate off-street parking will be available for the proposed land use.
E. The parking management plan includes provisions for periodic monitoring by the city to identify any problems associated with implementation of the plan and to adjust the plan as necessary. Any costs to the city incurred as a result of such monitoring shall be paid by the property owner upon request of the city.
As stated above, the proposed Parking Management Plan includes provisions for periodic monitoring by the city, and costs will be reimbursed by the property owner upon request of the city.
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (DA-04-21)
The Applicant also requests the approval of a statutory development agreement pursuant to Government Code Sections 65864 et seq. (“Development Agreement Statute”), which authorizes cities to enter into agreements for the development of real property with any person having a legal or equitable interest in such property in order to establish certain development rights in such property for the purpose of strengthening the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risks of development. The Development Agreement Statute allows a developer to acquire “vested rights” to complete a project in exchange for providing certain public benefits to the City.
As discussed in detail above, the approval of the proposed project and DA-04-21 is consistent with the City’s General Plan and the Montebello Municipal Code based on the facts and findings set forth in the Site Plan Review discussion above, which are incorporated herein by this reference.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Montebello hereby finds, declares, and resolves as follows:
Resolution No. 22-18
SECTION 1. RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated as substantive findings of this Resolution.
SECTION 2. FINDINGS. Based on the staff reports, presentations, public testimony, comments, Planning Commission recommendations, Montebello Municipal Code (“MMC”), City’s General Plan, and other evidence presented at the duly noticed public hearing on this matter, the City Council hereby finds the following:
A. Pursuant to Section 17.38.110 of the Montebello Municipal Code, the City Council finds that the Plan Development District:
1. Is in compliance with the provisions of MMC Chapter 17.38.
The proposed Planned Development is in compliance with Chapter 17.38 of the Zoning Code. Consistent with MMC Section 17.38.010, the Planned Development would allow for flexibility in land use controls, as the existing underlying development standards do not functionally allow for reasonable development of the project sites. The projects proposed for Project Site A and Project Site B are in substantial compliance with the MMC; however, inefficiencies in the MMC do not recognize current residential building and market trends or site specific conditions. Therefore, relief is sought for certain development standards contained in the MMC through a Planned Development approval.
As detailed below, consistent with MMC Chapter 17.38, the Planned Development would, among other things: provide for sound and efficient development of project sites with unique topographic land features and/or having irregular shape; allow the development of large residential projects in such a manner to ensure that the projects are consistent with the elements of the general plan, and to assure that the projects will be compatible with surrounding existing and proposed land uses; reduce or eliminate the rigidity, delays, and inequities that otherwise may result from the application of land use regulations; and encourage architectural design diversity and avoid monotony by allowing greater freedom in the design of architectural elements to provide access, light, open space, and amenities in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Consistent with MMC Section 17.38.040, the project sites comprising the Planned Development would have a total area of more than one-half acre. With approval of the Planned Development, the projects will be in compliance with the MMC.
Project A
Project Site A is an approximately 73,807 square foot trapezoidal irregularly-shaped site. The topography of the site trends downwards Resolution No. 22-18
towards the south and east and presents unique challenges to the development of a MMC compliant, modern, and architecturally uniform structure. This is reflected in the irregular and inefficient location of the current buildings including carports on the site. The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. In this case, there will be three (3)separate parcels held together as one for a single building site. The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 24 units under the current density standards. There are currently 41 units located on the project site, almost double the number permitted under the MMC. As part of the required Planned Development approval, the project includes 140 units (including 30 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 83 units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project A’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking.
The MMC allows a maximum of 1 bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 74 bedrooms under this standard. Project A would include a total of 237 bedrooms, exceeding this requirement. The project includes a mix of studio, one, two, and three-bedroom units and units that will range in size as follows: 616 square feet for the studio units; onebedroom units from 730 square feet to 900 square feet; two-bedroom units from 1,100 square feet to 1,500 square feet; and three-bedroom units from 1,472 to 1,780 square feet. These unit sizes are ample and spacious for the market and match or exceed square footages seen in similar projects. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the sloping topography, unique shape of the lot, and constrained access to the site from Poplar Avenue. Applying the MMC standards for density and bedroom count would negatively impact the unit count and unit sizes of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number, variety, and quality of units that could be provided.
Per the MMC, the maximum lot coverage in the R-3 Zone is 60%. Lot coverage standards exist to regulate the number and size of structures on a lot to allow for open space and adequate light and ventilation. Typically, lot coverage represents the percentage of building area-generally measured by the building footprint or roof lines as a proportion to the land area of the site. The existing site is developed with structures of varying sizes and shapes and currently has a lot coverage of approximately 42%. The proposed project would have a lot coverage of 57%, in compliance with the MMC standard.
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the permitted height of 25 feet. The MMC Resolution No. 22-18
height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limits set forth in Single- Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 47 feet and 4 stories, as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. The topography of the site slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off, but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site.
The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The MMC requires a minimum open space of 150 square feet per unit for private open space and 100 square feet per unit for common open space with a total of 300 square feet open space per unit thus requiring 42,000 square feet in total. The nature of the topography of the site and its shape precludes the project from providing the minimum open space distribution between private and common open space; therefore, the project requests an approximate 25% reduction in required open space and would provide a total of 31,360 square feet of open space. The requested open space reduction is appropriate because the project would still provide ample private and public on-site open space, especially compared to the existing development which includes very little on-site open space. The project features state-of-the-art amenities, including balconies for each unit, a courtyard with a pool, water feature, kids play area, barbeques, cabanas, seating areas, and a solar panel zone designed for the installation of future solar panels. Therefore, the project provides abundant open space and high-quality open space and recreation areas for residents, and the triangular design of the building with a large central open courtyard will provide all units in the building ample light and ventilation.
Pursuant to the State of California’s Density Bonus Law (Cal. Govt. Code Section 65915), because the project would include at least 10% of the units for lower-income households, the project is not required to provide more than one on-site parking space per studio unit and one-bedroom unit, and 1.5 on-site parking space per two-bedroom unit and three-bedroom units (including parking for persons with a disability and guest parking). Per Section 17.52.050 of the MMC, the 140-unit project will require 327 off-street parking spaces.
However, based on the ratios provided under the State of California’s Density Bonus Law, Project A is required to provide a minimum of 182 total parking spaces. The project will exceed this requirement and provide a Resolution No. 22-18
total of 298 parking spaces located in two subterranean levels. In addition, the project will provide 14 short-term bicycle racks and 140 long-term bicycle racks. The proposed building provides an efficient design and layout considering the site constraints and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking including the use of tandem and compact parking spaces.
The project would include the approval of a Parking Management Plan for the tandem and compact parking spaces. Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. For example, Project Site A is located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the project is well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to ride-share services.
The MMC requires building setbacks of 20 feet from the front property line, 5 feet along the side yard setback and 10 feet from the rear yard property line.
The MMC also requires a one-foot stepback for every three feet over 15 feet.
In this case, the project meets all the required building setbacks, except it does not include the one-foot stepback. The setbacks are building facades and elevations is sufficient given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, main entryway to the courtyard with a direct visual line of sight, and abundant landscaping along the front setback. If the stepback requirements were observed, it would require the reduction of the courtyard area and would reduce the overall number of units.
The MMC requires 100 cubic feet of storage per residential unit. The building’s subterranean garage is the most efficient and effective location for these storage units given the site topographical and access constraints.
The project offers storage units for each unit in the building conveniently located at both garage levels. The project includes storage units that are generally stacked and include 136.9 cubic feet per unit. In addition, each residential unit has ample interior closet space offsetting the need for such extensive storage requirements.
The MMC requires trash areas for multiple-family dwellings to provide the equivalent of not less than seventy-five (75) gallon capacity container per dwelling unit. Where commercial trash containers (three cubic yards or more) are used, one container is required for every seven (7) dwelling units and trash areas are required to be located within one hundred fifty feet of the units which they serve. Under the MMC, the project would be required to provide twenty (20) commercial trash containers, and the project includes trash rooms with trash bin areas located at three locations in the upper parking level with a total of twenty-four (24) trash bins. These bins are served by trash chutes for convenient and easy access by the residents. The project will have frequent trash pickup service throughout the week to ensure that the project’s trash Resolution No. 22-18
demands are adequately served. With twenty-four (24) commercial trash bins and frequent trash pickup service, the project will include adequate trash facilities.
The project will be fully code compliant with all applicable fire/life/safety and California Title 24 building energy efficiency standards. In addition, the project will be responsible for paying all applicable fees and will upgrade all utilities and infrastructure to serve the projects thereby not negatively impacting the surrounding area or the City as a whole. The new construction will positively enhance property values and the property tax base of the City. With approval of the Planned Development, Project A will be in compliance with the MMC.
Project B
Project Site B comprises two parcels with approximately 12,500 square feet that is rectangularly-shaped. While the shape of the lot is not irregular, the density and other regulatory standards set forth in the R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone would allow for the construction of a maximum of four (4) units and as such is not conducive to the encouragement of reinvestment in housing stock. In this case, there will be two (2) separate parcels held together as one for a uniform project. The MMC allows one (1) unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield four (4) units under the density standards and allows bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area. The site is currently improved with two (2) single-family residences. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose sixteen (16) units (including 2 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately fifty-six (56) units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project B’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking.
The MMC allows a maximum of one (1) bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield twelve (12) bedrooms under this standard. Project A would include a total of thirty (30) bedrooms, exceeding this limit. The project includes a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and unit will range in size as follows: 825 square feet for the one-bedroom units; 891 square feet to 1,083 feet for the two-bedroom units; and 1,179 square feet for the three-bedroom units. These unit sizes are ample and spacious for the market and match or exceed square footages seen in similar projects. The building is integrated into the landscape and small size and limited access to the site from Poplar Avenue and the alley. Applying the MMC standards for density and bedroom count would negatively impact the unit count and unit sizes of the project and discourage flexibility and design Resolution No. 22-18
innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number, variety, and quality of units that could be provided.
Per the MMC, the maximum lot coverage is 60%. Lot coverage standards exist to regulate the number and size of structures on a lot to allow for open space and adequate light and ventilation. Typically, lot coverage represents the percentage of building area-generally measured by the building footprint or roof lines as a proportion to the land area of the site. The building is designed as a single, integrated structure and meets the MMC side and rear yard setbacks. The project has a lot coverage of 74% which is necessary to accommodate the proposed density. The building is inviting and spacious and strict adherence to the lot coverage standard based on the site’s small size would result in unique challenges that would compromise the integrity of the building’s design and reduce the number of units that could be provided.
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the permitted height of 25 feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limits set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 34 feet and 6 inches and three (3) stories (including one parking level), as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. All elevations of the building feature architectural details including brow pieces and trellis structures over the upper balconies, score lines on the walls, a decorative tile mansard roof, and vine pockets along the south and north elevations to soften the buildings appearance. The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The MMC requires a minimum open space of 150 square feet for private open space and 100 square feet for common open space and a total of 300 square feet per unit thus requiring 4,800 square feet in total. The small size of the site precludes the project from providing the MMC minimum required open space or meeting the minimum open space distribution between private and common open space; therefore, the project requests an approximate 25% reduction in required open space and would provide a total of 3,650 square feet of open space. The requested open space reduction is appropriate because the project would still provide ample private and public on-site open space. The project features state-of-the art, high-quality amenities including balconies for each unit and a rooftop deck with patio furniture.
Pursuant to the State of California’s Density Bonus Law (Cal. Govt. Code Section 65915), because the project would include at least 10% of the units for lower-income households, the project is not required to provide more than one on-site parking space per studio unit and one-bedroom unit, and 1.5 on-site parking spaces per two-bedroom unit and three-bedroom units (including parking for persons with a disability and guest parking). Per Section 17.52.050 Resolution No. 22-18
of the MMC, the 16-unit project will require 37 off-street parking spaces.
However, based on the ratios provided under the State of California’s Density Bonus Law, Project B is required to provide a minimum of 22 total parking spaces. The project will exceed this requirement and provide a total of 30 parking spaces. The project will provide a combination of side-by-side and tandem parking spaces in a controlled tuck under garage. In addition, the project will provide 16 bicycle parking spaces. The proposed building provides an efficient design and layout considering the site constraints and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking including the use of tandem and compact parking spaces. The project would include the approval of a Parking Management Plan for the tandem and compact parking spaces. Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. For example, Project Site B is located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the project is well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to ride-share services.
The MMC requires building setbacks of 20 feet from the front property line, five (5) feet along the side yard setback and 10 feet from the rear yard property line. The MMC also requires a one-foot stepback for every three (3) feet over 15 feet. In this case, the project exceeds the side yard setbacks. The front property line (east elevation facing Poplar Avenue) is proposed at fifteen (15) feet and the building does not include the one-foot stepback. The 15-foot setback is sufficient given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, main entryway, and abundant landscaping along the front setback. If the stepback requirement were observed, it would require the reduction of the rooftop deck and would reduce the overall number of units. The rear yard setback is proposed at five (5) feet where ten (10) feet is required; however, the rear yard faces the alley so the effective setback from the properties across the alley is fifteen (15) feet.
The MMC requires 100 cubic feet of storage per residential unit. The building’s garage is the most efficient and effective location for these storage units given small size of the site. The project includes storage units that are stacked above the front ends of parking spaces and provide 100 cubic feet overall for each unit. In addition, each residential unit has ample interior closet space.
The MMC requires trash areas for multiple-family dwellings to provide the equivalent of not less than seventy-five (75) gallon capacity container per dwelling unit. Where commercial trash containers (three cubic yards or more) are used, one container is required for every seven (7) dwelling units and trash Resolution No. 22-18
areas are required to be located within one hundred fifty feet of the units which they serve. Under the MMC, the project would be required to provide two (2) commercial trash bins, and the project includes a dedicated trash and recycling area located at the ground level. The project will have frequent trash pickup throughout the week to ensure that the project’s trash demands are adequately served. With a dedicated trash and recycling area and frequent trash pickup service, the project will include adequate trash facilities.
The project will be fully code compliant with all applicable fire/life/safety and California Title 24 building energy efficiency standards. In addition, the project will be responsible for paying all applicable fees and will upgrade all utilities and infrastructure to serve the projects thereby not negatively impacting the surrounding area or the City as a whole. The new construction will positively enhance property values and the property tax base of the City.
With approval of the Planned Development, the project on Project Site B will be in compliance with the MMC.
2. Is consistent with the subdivision regulations, with the general intent of the zoning regulations, with the general plan, and with any applicable specific plan.
The projects, including the proposed Planned Development with Density Overlay and Height Overlay, would be consistent with the general intent of the zoning regulations and with the City’s General Plan. The projects do not propose any subdivision and there is no applicable specific plan.
Per Section 17.02.020 of the MMC, the purpose of the zoning code is “to permit the most compatible use of land within the city, consistent with the needs of residential, commercial and industrial developments, and the promotion of the public health, safety, welfare and general prosperity of the city and its residents.” Both projects are of the high-quality design and have a layout with a scale and massing harmonious with the area, and represent a significant reinvestment in the City. They would be compatible with the existing residential uses in the vicinity of the project sites, and would contribute to the City’s residential needs.
One policy of the Land Use Element of the General Plan is that “Residential development of varying densities and housing types should be compatible among themselves and with adjacent commercial and industrial development”. Another policy of the same element states “Opportunities for a variety of living needs should be available in various locations throughout the City”. For both project sites, separate parcels will be combined to form a single building site which in turn creates opportunities Resolution No. 22-18
for excellence in design, site layout, and more efficient vehicular and pedestrian access. Both Project A and Project B are of high-quality architectural design and offer amenity-rich rental housing opportunities not commonly found in the City of Montebello. This would be consistent with the General Plan’s policy of provide varying housing types and opportunities for a variety of living needs in the City.
A stated purpose of the 2016-2021 Housing Element is “to review development standards to improve site design, architectural quality, and livability of multi-family units”. The 2016-2021 Housing Element contemplated updating the Zoning Standards for the R-3 zone to accommodate the additional housing needs identified in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA); however, these revised standards have not been codified. The project design for both sites’ layout is efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The projects utilize efficient design concepts and are integrated into the neighborhood and are therefore compatible with the surrounding uses. In addition, the new residents will support and enhance demand for commercial services from the nearby business districts in the City.
Other stated purposes of the 2016-2021 Housing Element are “to minimize governmental constraints, market constraints, and environmental constraints that may impede the development of new housing,” and “to address future housing needs by expanding housing opportunities in the City.” The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. The projects would utilize the MMC’s Planned Development provisions to achieve additional additional density and certain deviations from the R-3 development standards to expand housing opportunities in the City and meet the goals of the City’s Housing Element. The projects would make a substantial contribution towards meeting the City’s RHNA allocation, including its affordable housing allocation, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Housing Element.
The projects would also support the following policies of the 2016-2021 Housing Element related to affordable housing:
Policy 4.1. The City will continue to encourage the development of affordable housing throughout the community.
Policy 4.5. The City will continue to encourage development of new housing in proximity to public services, transportation routes, and other community facilities.
Policy 4.6. The City will encourage the establishment of a variety of affordability levels in multiple-projects.
Resolution No. 22-18
Consistent with Policy 4.1, the projects would include a total of 32 units affordable to lower-income households (30 in Project A and 2 in Project B).
Consistent with Policy 4.5, these units would be constructed in proximity to nearby public transportation routes and other community facilities.
Consistent with Policy 4.6, the projects would be mixed-income projects with a variety of affordability levels, both market-rate and affordable to lowerincome households.
3. Is compatible with present and future development of the property within the immediate vicinity.
Project A
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the permitted height of 25 feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limits set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 47 feet and 4 stories, as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. The topography of the site slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site.
The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties. Therefore, the project physically relates to the adjacent and surrounding properties in the vicinity.
Project B
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the permitted height of 25 feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limits set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 34 feet and six inches and 3 stories (including one level of parking), as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. While the site is relatively flat and rectangular-shaped, the small size of the site necessitates the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The site abuts Poplar Avenue to the east, an alley to the west, two-story multi-family buildings to the north and while some of the adjoining properties to the south and east across the alley are improved with single-family homes, the building setbacks and articulation will Resolution No. 22-18
serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties. Therefore, the project physically relates to the adjacent and surrounding properties in the vicinity.
As discussed above, given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, and abundant landscaping along the front setback, the projects’ setbacks are sufficient and would also be compatible with present and future development of property within the immediate vicinity.
4. Is consistent with the general peace, health, safety and general welfare.
Section 17.02.020 of the MMC, allows in part for the regulation of land uses to promote compatibility consistent with the needs of the respective land use type and to promote the public health, safety, welfare and general prosperity of the city and its residents. Both projects are of high-quality design and have a layout with a scale and massing harmonious with the area, and represent a significant reinvestment in the City.
The topography of the Project Site A slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site. While Project Site B is relatively flat, the small size of the site necessitates the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project in order to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building.
Both buildings’ setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the buildings to adjacent properties. Except for the relief being sought by the Planned Development approval to exceed in density and height, both projects are designed to be fully compliant with the intent of the required codes and standards and will pay all required development-related fees. Both projects will be assets to the City, will address the severe shortage of quality housing (including quality affordable housing) in the rental market in the region with convenient access to the job market, and will provide the residents a greater variety of housing options (including affordable housing).
Resolution No. 22-18
In addition, the projects would not adversely affect the general peace, health, safety, and welfare of surrounding residents, because the projects will be constructed in accordance with all applicable City regulations.
Construction will occur within the permitted hours. Furthermore, the projects will comply with all Low Impact Development (LID) and building code requirements
5. That the permitted uses and development standards adopted as part of the Amended Precise Plan of Development will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, but will have a beneficial effect which could not have been adequately achieved under the pre-existing zoning district.
The projects proposed for Project Site A and Project Site B are in substantial compliance with the MMC; however, inefficiencies in the MMC do not recognize current residential building and market trends or site specific conditions.
Therefore, relief is sought for certain development standards contained in the MMC through a Planned Development approval. With approval of the Planned Development, the projects will be in compliance with the MMC.
Project Site A is an approximately 73,807 square foot trapezoidal irregularly-shaped site. The topography of the site trends downwards towards the south and east and presents unique challenges to the development of a MMC compliant, modern, and architecturally uniform structure. This is reflected in the irregular and inefficient location of the current buildings including carports on the site. The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 24 units under the density standards. There are currently 41 units located on the project site, almost double the number permitted under the MMC. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose 140 units (including 30 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 83 units per acre This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project A’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the sloping topography, unique shape of the lot, and constrained access to the site from Poplar Avenue. Applying the MMC standards for density would negatively impact the unit count of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number of units that could be provided.
Project Site B comprises two parcels with approximately 12,500 square feet that is rectangularly-shaped. While the shape of the lot is not irregular, the density and other regulatory standards set forth in the R-3 Multiple Family Resolution No. 22-18
Residential Zone would allow for the construction of a maximum of four units and as such is not conducive to the encouragement of reinvestment in housing stock. In this case, there will be two separate parcels held together as one for a uniform project. The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield four units under the density standards and allows bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area. The site is currently improved with two single-family residences. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose 16 units (including 2 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 56 units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project B’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the small size and limited access to the site from Poplar Avenue and the alley. Applying the MMC standards for density would negatively impact the unit count of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number of units that could be provided.
The projects will be constructed in accordance with all pertinent building code requirements. Construction will occur during the permitted hours of operation. In addition, the projects will include energy and water efficient fixtures, LID appurtenances, bicycle racks, and designated areas for solar panels. The trips generated by the proposed project will not exceed the capacity of the adjacent streets, nor will the projects’ trips result in a deterioration of any intersection levels of service. The new development will increase property values in the area and will assist the City in achieving its RHNA goals by providing necessary rental housing (including affordable housing). The implementation of the Planned Development is essential, because the current zoning conditions do not permit an increase in density.
The existing conditions presently limit the City’s ability to meet its RNHA targets. In addition, the 2016-2021 Housing Element contemplated updating the Zoning Standards for the R-3 zone to accommodate the additional housing needs identified in the RHNA; however, these revised standards have not been codified. The projects would make a substantial contribution towards meeting the City’s RHNA allocation, and would also provide a substantial share of affordable housing, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Housing Element.
For all of these reasons, the Planned Development will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, and will have beneficial effects which could not have been adequately achieved under the pre-existing zoning district.
6. That the proposed on-site streets and thoroughfares are adequate in size to Resolution No. 22-18
accommodate the traffic volume generated by the proposed PD, and increased densities will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street network outside the PD boundary.
The existing roadways are adequate in size to accommodate the projects’ trip generation. According to the traffic impact analysis that was prepared for the project, each of the roadway segments nearest the project sites operate at a Level of Service (LOS) C or better, both with and without the project. As a result, the addition of project traffic would not result in any of the roadway segments exceeding their available capacities. In addition, the roadways are wide enough to accommodate construction and project traffic.
In addition, the projects will provide on-site bicycle parking, and public transportation options also exist for residents of the projects. For example, the project sites are located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the projects are well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines. These alternative transportation options will reduce vehicle trips and further ensure that increased densities do not generate traffic that overloads the surrounding street network.
7. That the exceptions, if any, from the development standards of the zoning code are warranted by the design and amenities, as incorporated, are in accord with adopted policies of the planning commission and the city council.
As discussed in Finding 1 above, the projects would include certain exceptions from the development standards of the Zoning Code to provide high-quality architectural design and offer amenity-rich rental housing opportunities not commonly found in the City of Montebello, in addition to helping the City meet its housing needs.
At Project Site A, architectural projections at key locations along the building which create visual interest and articulation, both of which are desirable design features. At Project Site B, the building elevations will feature architectural details including brow pieces and trellis structures over the upper balconies, score lines on the walls, a decorative tile mansard roof, and vine pockets along the south and north elevations to soften the buildings appearance. The Planned Development for the projects will allow each building to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building for each project site.
The projects will include new LID appurtenances; energy and water efficient fixtures; bicycle parking; designated solar areas; abundant recreational amenities including a gym, pool, and children’s play area; and Resolution No. 22-18
electric vehicle charging stations.
The projects will assist the City in meeting or exceeding their RNHA allocation by providing more rental housing (including affordable housing) than the existing development standards would permit, consistent with the City’s policies as identified in its General Plan
8. That the existing or proposed utility services and facilities are adequate for the proposed population densities and nonresidential uses.
The two project sites are currently occupied by existing residential units. The implementation of the projects will result in an increase in water consumption and sewage and solid waste generation over the present conditions.
Nevertheless, the new apartment units will be equipped with water and energy efficient fixtures and appliances. In addition, the two buildings will include a designated solar area for future solar panels. New utility lines will be provided to accommodate the increase in demand and usage for utility services. These new water and sewer lines will be large enough to accommodate the increase in volume of effluent discharged from the project area.
9. That the proposed buildings and structures are situated in such a manner to minimize impacting the privacy of existing abutting residential uses.
The new buildings at Project Site A and Project Site B will be adequately set back from the adjacent residential units.
The height of the proposed building at Project Site A is 47 feet and 4 stories, as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. The topography of the site slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building.
The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site. The building setbacks and articulation will adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The height of the proposed building at Project Site B is 34 feet and six inches and 3 stories (including one level of parking), as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. While the site is relatively flat and rectangular-shaped, the small size of the site necessitates the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building.
Resolution No. 22-18
The site abuts Poplar Avenue to the east, an alley to the west, two-story multifamily buildings to the north and while some of the adjoining properties to the south and east across the alley are improved with single-family homes, the building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The projects’ building setbacks and articulation will serve to minimize impacts on the privacy of existing abutting residential uses.
B. Pursuant to Section 17.74.070 of the MMC, before any site plan review shall be granted, all of the following findings must be made:
1. That the proposed design for improvement complies with all requirements of the MMC.
The projects proposed for Project Site A and Project Site B are in substantial compliance with the MMC; however, inefficiencies in the MMC do not recognize current residential building and market trends or site specific conditions. Therefore, relief is sought for certain development standards contained in the MMC through a Planned Development approval. With approval of the Planned Development, the projects will be in compliance with the MMC.
Project A
Project Site A is an approximately 73,807 square foot trapezoidal irregularly-shaped site. The topography of the site trends downwards towards the south and east and presents unique challenges to the development of a MMC compliant, modern, and architecturally uniform structure. This is reflected in the irregular and inefficient location of the current buildings including carports on the site. The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. In this case, there will be three separate parcels held together as one for a single building site. The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 24 units under the density standards. There are currently 41 units located on the project site, almost double the number permitted under the MMC. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose 140 units (including 30 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 83 units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project A’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking.
Resolution No. 22-18
The MMC allows a maximum of 1 bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 74 bedrooms under this standard. Project A would include a total of 237 bedrooms, exceeding this limit. The project includes a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and units will range in size as follows: 616 square feet for the studio units; one-bedroom units from 730 square feet to 900 square feet; two-bedroom units from 1,100 square feet to 1,500 square feet; and three-bedroom units from 1,472 to 1,780 square feet. These unit sizes are ample and spacious for the market and match or exceed square footages seen in similar projects.
The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the sloping topography, unique shape of the lot, and constrained access to the site from Poplar Avenue. Applying the MMC standards for density and bedroom count would negatively impact the unit count and unit sizes of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number, variety, and quality of units that could be provided.
Per the MMC, the maximum lot coverage is 60%. Lot coverage standards exist to regulate the number and size of structures on a lot to allow for open space and adequate light and ventilation. Typically, lot coverage represents the percentage of building area-generally measured by the building footprint or roof lines as a proportion to the land area of the site. The existing site is developed with structures of varying sizes and shapes and currently has a lot coverage of approximately 42%. The proposed project would have a lot coverage of 57%, in compliance with the MMC standard.
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the permitted height of 25 feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limits set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 47 feet, as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. The topography of the site slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site. The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
Resolution No. 22-18
The MMC requires a minimum open space of 150 square feet for private open space and 100 square feet for common open space and a total of 300 square feet per unit thus requiring 42,000 square feet in total. The nature of the topography of the site and its shape precludes the project from providing the MMC minimum required open space or meeting the minimum open space distribution between private and common open space; therefore, the project requests an approximate 25% reduction in required open space and would provide a total of 31,360 square feet of open space. The requested open space reduction is appropriate because the project would still provide ample private and public on-site open space, especially compared to the existing development which includes very little on-site open space. The project features state-of-the-art amenities, including balconies for each unit, a courtyard with a pool, water feature, kids play area, barbeques, cabanas, seating areas, cabanas, and a solar panel zone designed for installation for future solar panels. Therefore, the project provides abundant and highquality open space and recreation areas for residents and the triangular design of the building with a large central open courtyard will provide all units in the building ample light and ventilation.
Pursuant to the State of California’s Density Bonus Law (Cal. Govt. Code Section 65915), because the project would include at least 10% of the units for lower-income households, the project is not required to provide more than one on-site parking space per studio unit and one-bedroom unit, and 1.5 onsite parking spaces per two-bedroom unit and three-bedroom units (including parking for persons with a disability and guest parking). Based on these ratios, Project A is required to provide a minimum of 182 total parking spaces. The project will exceed this requirement and provide a total of 298 parking spaces located in two subterranean levels. In addition, the project will provide 14 short-term bicycle racks and 140 long-term bicycle racks. The proposed building provides an efficient design and layout considering the site constraints and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking including the use of tandem and compact parking spaces.
The project would include the approval of a Parking Management Plan for the tandem and compact parking spaces. Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. For example, Project Site A is located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the project is well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to ride-share services.
The MMC requires building setbacks of 20 feet from the front property line, 5 feet along the side yard setback and 10 feet from the rear yard property line.
Resolution No. 22-18
The MMC also requires a one-foot stepback for every three feet over 15 feet.
In this case, the project meets all the required building setbacks, except it does not include the one-foot stepback. The setbacks and building facades and elevations are sufficient given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, main entryway to the courtyard with a direct visual line of sight, and abundant landscaping along the front setback. If the stepback requirement were observed, it would require the reduction of the courtyard area and would reduce the overall number of units.
The MMC requires 100 cubic feet of storage per residential unit. The building’s subterranean garage is the most efficient and effective location for these storage units given the site topographical and access constraints. The project offers storage units for each unit in the building conveniently located at both garage levels. The project includes storage units that are generally stacked and include 136.9 cubic feet per unit. In addition, each residential unit has ample interior closet space offsetting the need for such extensive storage requirements.
The MMC requires trash areas for multiple-family dwellings to provide the equivalent of not less than seventy-five (75) gallon capacity container per dwelling unit. Where commercial trash containers (three cubic yards or more) are used, one container is required for every seven dwelling units and trash areas are required to be located within one hundred fifty feet of the units which they serve. Under the MMC, the project would be required to provide twenty (20) commercial trash containers, and the project includes trash rooms with trash bin areas located at three locations in the upper parking level with a total of twenty-four (24) trash bins. These bins are served by trash chutes for convenient and easy access by the residents.
The project will have frequent trash pickup throughout the week to ensure that the project’s trash demands are adequately served. With twenty-four (24) commercial trash bins and frequent trash pickup service, the project will include adequate trash facilities.
The project will be fully code compliant with all applicable fire/life/safety and California Title 24 building energy efficiency standards. In addition, the project will be responsible for paying all applicable fees and will upgrade all utilities and infrastructure to serve the projects thereby not negatively impacting the surrounding area or the City as a whole. The new construction will positively enhance property values and the property tax base of the City.
With approval of the Planned Development, Project A will be in compliance with the MMC.
Resolution No. 22-18
Project B
Project Site B comprises two parcels with approximately 12,500 square feet that is rectangular-shaped. While the shape of the lot is not irregular, the density and other regulatory standards set forth in the R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone would allow for the construction of a maximum of four units and as such is not conducive to the encouragement of reinvestment in housing stock. In this case, there will be two separate parcels held together as one for a uniform project.
The MMC allows one (1) unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield four units under the density standards and allows bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area. The site is currently improved with two single-family residences. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose sixteen (16) units (including 2 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 56 units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project B’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The MMC allows a maximum of 1 bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield twelve (12) bedrooms under this standard. Project B would include a total of thrity (30) bedrooms, exceeding this limit. The project includes a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and unit will range in size as follows: 825 square feet for the one-bedroom units; 891 square feet to 1,083 feet for the two-bedroom units; and 1,179 square feet for the threebedroom units. These unit sizes are ample and spacious for the market and match or exceed square footages seen in similar projects. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the small size and limited access to the site from Poplar Avenue and the alley. Applying the MMC standards for density and bedroom count would negatively impact the unit count and unit sizes of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number, variety, and quality of units that could be provided.
Per the MMC, the maximum lot coverage is 60%. Lot coverage standards exist to regulate the number and size of structures on a lot to allow for open space and adequate light and ventilation. Typically, lot coverage represents the percentage of building area-generally measured by the building footprint or roof lines as a proportion to the land area of the site. The building is designed as a single, integrated structure and meets the MMC side and rear yard setbacks. The project has a lot coverage of 74% which is necessary to accommodate the proposed density. The building is inviting and spacious and strict adherence to the lot coverage standard based on the site’s small Resolution No. 22-18
size would result in unique challenges that would compromise the integrity of the building’s design and reduce the number of units that could be provided.
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is twenty-five (25) feet.
The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the permitted height of twenty-five (25) feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limits set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones.
The height of the proposed building is 34 feet and 6 inches and three (3) stories (including one parking level), as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. All elevations of the building feature architectural details including brow pieces and trellis structures over the upper balconies, score lines on the walls, a decorative tile mansard roof, and vine pockets along the south and north elevations to soften the buildings appearance.
The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The MMC requires a minimum open space of 150 square feet for private open space and 100 square feet for common open space and a total of 300 square feet per unit thus requiring 4,800 square feet in total. The small size of the site precludes the project from providing the MMC minimum required open space or meeting the minimum open space distribution between private and common open space; therefore, the project requests an approximate 25% reduction in required open space and would provide a total of 3,650 square feet of open space. The requested open space reduction is appropriate because the project would still provide ample private and public on-site open space. The project features state-of-the art, high-quality amenities including balconies for each unit and a rooftop deck with patio furniture.
Pursuant to the State of California’s Density Bonus Law (Cal. Govt. Code Section 65915), because the project would include at least 10% of the units for lower-income households, the project is not required to provide more than one on-site parking space per studio unit and one-bedroom unit, and 1.5 onsite parking spaces per two-bedroom unit and three-bedroom units (including parking for persons with a disability and guest parking). Based on these ratios, Project A is required to provide a minimum of twenty-two (22) total parking spaces. The project will exceed this requirement and provide a total of thirty (30) parking spaces. The project will provide a combination of side-by-side and tandem parking spaces in a controlled tuck under garage.
In addition, the project will provide sixteen (16) bicycle parking spaces. The proposed building provides an efficient design and layout considering the site constraints and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking including the use of tandem and compact parking spaces. The project would include the approval of a Parking Management Plan for the tandem and Resolution No. 22-18
compact parking spaces. Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. For example, Project Site B is located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the project is well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to ride-share services.
The MMC requires building setbacks of twenty (20) feet from the front property line, five (5) feet along the side yard setback and ten (10) feet from the rear yard property line. The MMC also requires a one-foot stepback for every three feet over fifteen (15) feet. In this case, the project exceeds the side yard setbacks. The front property line (east elevation facing Poplar Avenue) is proposed at fifteen (15) feet and the building does not include the one-foot stepback. The 15-foot setback is sufficient given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, main entryway, and abundant landscaping along the front setback. If the stepback requirement were observed, it would require the reduction of the rooftop deck and would reduce the overall number of units. The rear yard setback is proposed at five (5) feet where ten (10) feet is required; however, the rear yard faces the alley so the effective setback from the properties across the alley is fifteen (15) feet.
The MMC requires 100 cubic feet of storage per residential unit. The building’s garage is the most efficient and effective location for these storage units given small size of the site. The project includes storage units that are stacked above the front ends of parking spaces and provide 100 cubic feet overall for each unit. In addition, each residential unit has ample interior closet space.
The MMC requires trash areas for multiple-family dwellings to provide the equivalent of not less than seventy-five (75) gallon capacity container per dwelling unit. Where commercial trash containers (three cubic yards or more) are used, one container is required for every seven dwelling units and trash areas are required to be located within one hundred fifty (150) feet of the units which they serve. Under the MMC, the project would be required to provide two commercial trash bins, and the project includes a dedicated trash and recycling area located at the ground level. The project will have frequent trash pickup throughout the week to ensure that the project’s trash demands are adequately served. With a dedicated trash and recycling area and frequent trash pickup service, the project will include adequate trash facilities.
Resolution No. 22-18
The project will be fully code compliant with all applicable fire/life/safety and California Title 24 building energy efficiency standards. In addition, the project will be responsible for paying all applicable fees and will upgrade all utilities and infrastructure to serve the projects thereby not negatively impacting the surrounding area or the City as a whole. The new construction will positively enhance property values and the property tax base of the City.
With approval of the Planned Development, the project on Project Site B will be in compliance with the MMC.
2. That the proposed design for improvement is consistent with the general plan.
The projects and proposed design for improvement would be consistent with the City’s General Plan.
One policy of the Land Use Element of the General Plan is that “Residential development of varying densities and housing types should be compatible among themselves and with adjacent commercial and industrial development”. Another policy of the same element states “Opportunities for a variety of living needs should be available in various locations throughout the City”. For both project sites, separate parcels will be combined to form a single building site which in turn creates opportunities for excellence in design, site layout, and more efficient vehicular and pedestrian access. Both Project A and Project B are of high-quality architectural design and offer amenity-rich rental housing opportunities not commonly found in the City of Montebello. This would be consistent with the General Plan’s policy of provide varying housing types and opportunities for a variety of living needs in the City.
A stated purpose of the 2016-2021 Housing Element is “to review development standards to improve site design, architectural quality, and livability of multi-family units”. The 2016-2021 Housing Element contemplated updating the Zoning Standards for the R-3 zone to accommodate the additional housing needs identified in the RHNA; however, these revised standards have not been codified. The project design for both sites’ layout is efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The projects utilize efficient design concepts and are integrated into the neighborhood and are therefore compatible with the surrounding uses. In addition, the new residents will support and enhance demand for commercial services from the nearby business districts in the City.
Other stated purposes of the 2016-2021 Housing Element are “to minimize governmental constraints, market constraints, and environmental Resolution No. 22-18
constraints that may impede the development of new housing,” and “to address future housing needs by expanding housing opportunities in the City.” The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. The projects would utilize the MMC’s Planned Development provisions to achieve additional density and certain deviations from the R-3 development standards to expand housing opportunities in the City and meet the goals of the City’s Housing Element. The projects would make a substantial contribution towards meeting the City’s RHNA allocation, including its affordable housing allocation, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Housing Element.
The projects would also support the following policies of the 2016-2021 Housing Element related to affordable housing:
Policy 4.1. The City will continue to encourage the development of affordable housing throughout the community.
Policy 4.5. The City will continue to encourage development of new housing in proximity to public services, transportation routes, and other community facilities.
Policy 4.6. The City will encourage the establishment of a variety of affordability levels in multiple-projects.
Consistent with Policy 4.1, the projects would include a total of 32 units affordable to lower-income households (30 in Project A and 2 in Project B).
Consistent with Policy 4.5, these units would be constructed in proximity to nearby public transportation routes and other community facilities.
Consistent with Policy 4.6, the projects would be mixed-income projects with a variety of affordability levels, both market-rate and affordable to lowerincome households.
3. That the proposed design for improvement will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties or on the general public welfare.
Section 17.02.020 of the MMC, allows in part for the regulation of land uses to promote compatibility consistent with the needs of the respective land use type and to promote the public health, safety, welfare and general prosperity of the city and its residents. Both projects are of high-quality design and have a layout with a scale and massing harmonious with the area, and represent a significant reinvestment in the City.
The topography of the Project Site A slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Resolution No. 22-18
Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site. While Project Site B is relatively flat, the small size of the site necessitates the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project in order to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building.
Both buildings’ setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the buildings to adjacent properties. Except for the relief being sought by the Planned Development approval to exceed in density and height, and the Parking Management Plan, both projects are designed to be fully compliant with the intent of the required codes and standards and will pay all required development-related fees. Both projects will be assets to the City, will address the severe shortage of quality housing (including quality affordable housing) in the rental market in the region with convenient access to the job market, and will provide the residents a greater variety of housing options (including affordable housing).
C. Pursuant to Section 17.52.310 (B) of the MMC, a parking management plan may be approved or conditionally approved if the following findings can be made:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the general plan, any applicable specific plans, and the general intent of the zoning code.
The projects, including the proposed Parking Management Plan to allow self-managed tandem parking, would be consistent with the general intent of the zoning regulations and with the City’s General Plan. The projects do not propose any subdivision and there is no applicable specific plan.
Per Section 17.02.020 of the MMC, the purpose of the zoning code is “to permit the most compatible use of land within the city, consistent with the needs of residential, commercial and industrial developments, and the promotion of the public health, safety, welfare and general prosperity of the city and its residents.” Both projects are of the high-quality design and have a layout with a scale and massing harmonious with the area, and represent a significant reinvestment in the City. They would be compatible with the existing residential uses in the vicinity of the project sites, and would contribute to the City’s residential needs.
Resolution No. 22-18
One policy of the Land Use Element of the General Plan is that “Residential development of varying densities and housing types should be compatible among themselves and with adjacent commercial and industrial development”. Another policy of the same element states “Opportunities for a variety of living needs should be available in various locations throughout the City”.

Consistent with Policy 4.5, these units would be constructed in proximity to nearby public transportation routes and other community facilities.
Consistent with Policy 4.6, the projects would be mixed-income projects with a variety of affordability levels, both market-rate and affordable to lowerincome households.
2. The surrounding properties will not be adversely affected by the approval of the proposed parking management plan.
The proposed building represents an efficient design and layout and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking, including through the use of tandem and compact parking spaces.
Approval of the proposed Parking Management Plan would not adversely affect surrounding properties. All vehicular parking for both projects would be located on-site and would be enclosed. All tandem and compact parking spaces would be self-managed by individual tenants.
3. The proposed parking management plan is appropriate for the proposed land use.
Self-managed tandem parking and use of compact parking spaces are typical and appropriate for multi-family residential developments with enclosed onsite parking. The projects are designed to make the most efficient use of each site. Due to site constraints and changes in topography, the buildings have been designed to be fully self-contained, including through the use of tandem and compact parking. Drive aisles have been designed to provide ample circulation and access. Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. The project sites are located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the projects are well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to ride-share services.
Resolution No. 22-18
4. That adequate off-street parking for customers, clients, visitors, and employees will be available for the proposed land use.
The projects are both multi-family residential buildings that will provide adequate parking for residents and guests. The buildings have been designed to be fully self-contained, including through the use of tandem and compact parking, to increase the amount of parking than could otherwise be provided without eliminating units. The projects include adequate short-term and long-term bicycle parking to supplement the vehicular parking.
Therefore, adequate off-street parking will be available for the proposed land use.
5. The parking management plan includes provisions for periodic monitoring by the city to identify any problems associated with implementation of the plan and to adjust the plan as necessary. Any costs to the city incurred as a result of such monitoring shall be paid by the property owner upon request of the city.
As stated above, the proposed Parking Management Plan includes provisions for periodic monitoring by the city, and costs will be reimbursed by the property owner upon request of the city.

ORDINANCE NO. 2448
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MONTEBELLO APPROVING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
(DA-04-21) BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF MONTEBELLO
AND MAGNA & MAGNA, INC. PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT
CODE SECTIONS 65864 ET SEQ.
WHEREAS, to strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the Legislature of the State of California adopted Government Code Sections 65864 et seq. (the "Development Agreement Statute"), which authorizes cities to enter into agreements for the development of real property with any person having a legal or equitable interest in such property in order to establish certain development rights in such property; and;
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Development Agreement Statute, the City of Montebello (the “City”) is authorized to enter into development agreements with persons having legal or equitable interests in real property for the purpose of establishing certainty for both the City and the owner in the development process; WHEREAS, Magna & Magna, Inc (“Developer”) and the City desire to enter into a Development Agreement (DA-04-21) attached hereto as Attachment “A” (the “Development Agreement”), which would allow the development of a total of 156 residential dwelling units on two sites, the first located 116, 128, and 136 N. Poplar Avenue, Montebello, California (“Project Site A”) and the second site located at 129-133 N. Poplar Ave, Montebello, California (“Project Site B”) (collectively the “Property”); WHEREAS, Project Site A will involve the construction of 140 apartment units (including 30 units affordable to lower-income households) within an approximately 73,807 square foot (1.69 acres) development area and Project Site B will involve the construction of 16 apartment units (including 2 units affordable to lower-income households) within an approximately 12,500 square foot (0.28 acres) development area in addition to corresponding amenities for the units (the “Project”); WHEREAS, the Project was reviewed pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) and determined to be statutorily exempt under CEQA pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21155.1 under the Sustainable Communities Project Exemption (“SCPE”) available to certain qualifying transit priority projects; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, following a duly noticed public hearing on March 1, 2022, recommended approval of this Development Agreement; and WHEREAS, the City Council held a noticed public hearing on the Development Agreement and this Ordinance, and considered all staff reports, presentation, public Ordinance No. 2448
testimony, comments, Planning Commission recommendations, and other evidence presented in connection with this matter.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEBELLO DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council finds that the above recitals set forth above are true and correct, and adopts and incorporates the recitals as a material part hereof.
SECTION 2. Based on the staff reports, presentations, public testimony, comments, Planning Commission recommendations, Montebello Municipal Code (“MMC”), City’s General Plan, and other evidence presented at the duly noticed public hearing on this matter, the City Council finds and declares that the Development Agreement is consistent with the MMC and the General Plan as follows:
A. Montebello Municipal Code.
The projects proposed for Project Site A and Project Site B are in substantial compliance with the MMC; however, inefficiencies in the MMC do not recognize current residential building and market trends or site specific conditions.
Therefore, relief is sought for certain development standards contained in the MMC through a Planned Development approval. With approval of the Planned Development, the projects will be in compliance with the MMC.
Project A
Project Site A is an approximately 73,807 square foot trapezoidal irregularlyshaped site. The topography of the site trends downwards towards the south and east and presents unique challenges to the development of a MMC compliant, modern, and architecturally uniform structure. This is reflected in the irregular and inefficient location of the current buildings including carports on the site. The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. In this case, there will be three separate parcels held together as one for a single building site. The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 24 units under the density standards. There are currently 41 units located on the project site, almost double the number permitted under the MMC. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose 140 units (including 30 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 83 units per acre. This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project A’s design and layout are efficient and selfcontained with on-site amenities and parking.
The MMC allows a maximum of 1 bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 74 bedrooms under this standard. Project A would include a total of 237 bedrooms, exceeding this limit. The project Ordinance No. 2448
includes a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and units will range in size as follows: 616 square feet for the studio units; one-bedroom units from 730 square feet to 900 square feet; two-bedroom units from 1,100 square feet to 1,500 square feet; and three-bedroom units from 1,472 to 1,780 square feet. These unit sizes are ample and spacious for the market and match or exceed square footages seen in similar projects. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the sloping topography, unique shape of the lot, and constrained access to the site from Poplar Avenue.
Applying the MMC standards for density and bedroom count would negatively impact the unit count and unit sizes of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number, variety, and quality of units that could be provided.
Per the MMC, the maximum lot coverage is 60%. Lot coverage standards exist to regulate the number and size of structures on a lot to allow for open space and adequate light and ventilation. Typically, lot coverage represents the percentage of building area-generally measured by the building footprint or roof lines as a proportion to the land area of the site. The existing site is developed with structures of varying sizes and shapes and currently has a lot coverage of approximately 42%. The proposed project would have a lot coverage of 57%, in compliance with the MMC standard.
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the permitted height of 25 feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limit of 35 feet set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 47 feet, as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. The topography of the site slopes to the south and east, necessitating the zoning code deviations sought through the Planned Development for the project to integrate all parking, open space, and amenities into one cohesive building. The south elevation of the proposed building would be partially obscured from Whittier Boulevard due to southward sloping conditions including the closed off but non-vacated portion of Poplar Avenue and existing buildings along the street. The site to the east immediately abutting the project is significantly lower in elevation and views of the proposed building would be partially obstructed by an existing retaining wall on that site. The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The MMC requires a minimum open space of 150 square feet for private open space and 100 square feet for common open space and a total of 300 square feet per unit thus requiring 42,000 square feet in total. The nature of the topography of the site and its shape precludes the project from providing the MMC minimum required open space or meeting the minimum open space distribution between private and common open space; therefore, the project requests an approximate 25% reduction in required open space and would Ordinance No. 2448
provide a total of 31,360 square feet of open space. The requested open space reduction is appropriate because the project would still provide ample private and public on-site open space, especially compared to the existing development which includes very little on-site open space. The project features state-of-the-art amenities, including balconies for each unit, a courtyard with a pool, water feature, kids play area, barbeques, cabanas, seating areas, cabanas, and a solar panel zone designed for installation for future solar panels. Therefore, the project provides abundant and high-quality open space and recreation areas for residents and the triangular design of the building with a large central open courtyard will provide all units in the building ample light and ventilation.
Pursuant to the State of California’s Density Bonus Law (Cal. Govt. Code Section 65915), because the project would include at least 10% of the units for lowerincome households, the project is not required to provide more than one on-site parking space per studio unit and one-bedroom unit, and 1.5 on-site parking spaces per two-bedroom unit and three-bedroom units (including parking for persons with a disability and guest parking). Based on these ratios, Project A is required to provide a minimum of 182 total parking spaces. The project will exceed this requirement and provide a total of 298 parking spaces located in two subterranean levels. In addition, the project will provide 14 shortterm bicycle racks and 140 long-term bicycle racks. The proposed building provides an efficient design and layout considering the site constraints and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking including the use of tandem and compact parking spaces. The project would include the approval of a Parking Management Plan for the tandem and compact parking spaces. Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. For example, Project Site A is located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the project is well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to ride-share services.
The MMC requires building setbacks of 20 feet from the front property line, 5 feet along the side yard setback and 10 feet from the rear yard property line. The MMC also requires a one-foot stepback for every three feet over 15 feet. In this case, the project meets all the required building setbacks, except it does not include the one-foot stepback. The setbacks and building facades and elevations are sufficient given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, main entryway to the courtyard with a direct visual line of sight, and abundant landscaping along the front setback. If the stepback requirement were observed, it would require the reduction of the courtyard area and would reduce the overall number of units.
Ordinance No. 2448
The MMC requires 100 cubic feet of storage per residential unit. The building’s subterranean garage is the most efficient and effective location for these storage units given the site topographical and access constraints. The project offers storage units for each unit in the building conveniently located at both garage levels. The project includes storage units that are generally stacked and include 136.9 cubic feet per unit. In addition, each residential unit has ample interior closet space offsetting the need for such extensive storage requirements.
The MMC requires trash areas for multiple-family dwellings to provide the equivalent of not less than seventy-five gallon capacity container per dwelling unit. Where commercial trash containers (three cubic yards or more) are used, one container is required for every seven dwelling units and trash areas are required to be located within one hundred fifty feet of the units which they serve.
Under the MMC, the project would be required to provide 20 commercial trash containers, and the project includes trash rooms with trash bin areas located at three locations in the upper parking level with a total of 24 trash bins. These bins are served by trash chutes for convenient and easy access by the residents. The project will have frequent trash pickup throughout the week to ensure that the project’s trash demands are adequately served. With 24 commercial trash bins and frequent trash pickup service, the project will include adequate trash facilities.
The project will be fully code compliant with all applicable fire/life/safety and California Title 24 building energy efficiency standards. In addition, the project will be responsible for paying all applicable fees and will upgrade all utilities and infrastructure to serve the projects thereby not negatively impacting the surrounding area or the City as a whole. The new construction will positively enhance property values and the property tax base of the City.
With approval of the Planned Development, Project A will be in compliance with the MMC.
Project B
Project Site B comprises two parcels with approximately 12,500 square feet that is rectangular-shaped. While the shape of the lot is not irregular, the density and other regulatory standards set forth in the R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone would allow for the construction of a maximum of four units and as such is not conducive to the encouragement of reinvestment in housing stock. In this case, there will be two separate parcels held together as one for a uniform project.
The MMC allows one unit per 3,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield four units under the density standards and allows bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area. The site is currently improved with two single-family residences. Utilizing the Planned Development approval, the project will exceed the permitted density and propose 16 units (including 2 units affordable to lower-income households) at a density of approximately 56 units per acre.
Ordinance No. 2448
This density is consistently found in many communities in the region. Project B’s design and layout are efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking. The MMC allows a maximum of 1 bedroom per 1,000 square feet of lot area; therefore, the site could only yield 12 bedrooms under this standard.
Project A would include a total of 30 bedrooms, exceeding this limit. The project includes a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and unit will range in size as follows: 825 square feet for the one-bedroom units; 891 square feet to 1,083 feet for the two-bedroom units; and 1,179 square feet for the three-bedroom units. These unit sizes are ample and spacious for the market and match or exceed square footages seen in similar projects. The building is integrated into the landscape and takes into account the small size and limited access to the site from Poplar Avenue and the alley. Applying the MMC standards for density and bedroom count would negatively impact the unit count and unit sizes of the project and discourage flexibility and design innovation of the project floor plans, ultimately reducing the number, variety, and quality of units that could be provided.
Per the MMC, the maximum lot coverage is 60%. Lot coverage standards exist to regulate the number and size of structures on a lot to allow for open space and adequate light and ventilation. Typically, lot coverage represents the percentage of building area-generally measured by the building footprint or roof lines as a proportion to the land area of the site. The building is designed as a single, integrated structure and meets the MMC side and rear yard setbacks. The project has a lot coverage of 74% which is necessary to accommodate the proposed density. The building is inviting and spacious and strict adherence to the lot coverage standard based on the site’s small size would result in unique challenges that would compromise the integrity of the building’s design and reduce the number of units that could be provided.
The maximum height allowed in the R-3 zone is 25 feet. The Planned Development is proposing to exceed the permitted height of 25 feet. The MMC height regulation is overly restrictive and is lower than the height limit of 35 feet set forth in Single Family Residential (R-1) zones. The height of the proposed building is 34 feet and 6 inches and 3 stories (including one parking level), as measured under the MMC, and does not include stepbacks. All elevations of the building feature architectural details including brow pieces and trellis structures over the upper balconies, score lines on the walls, a decorative tile mansard roof, and vine pockets along the south and north elevations to soften the buildings appearance. The building setbacks and articulation will serve to adequately relate the building to adjacent properties.
The MMC requires a minimum open space of 150 square feet for private open space and 100 square feet for common open space and a total of 300 square feet per unit thus requiring 4,800 square feet in total. The small size of the site precludes the project from providing the MMC minimum required open space or meeting the minimum open space distribution between private and Ordinance No. 2448
common open space; therefore, the project requests an approximate 25% reduction in required open space and would provide a total of 3,650 square feet of open space. The requested open space reduction is appropriate because the project would still provide ample private and public on-site open space. The project features state-of-the art, high-quality amenities including balconies for each unit and a rooftop deck with patio furniture.
Pursuant to the State of California’s Density Bonus Law (Cal. Govt. Code Section 65915), because the project would include at least 10% of the units for lowerincome households, the project is not required to provide more than one on-site parking space per studio unit and one-bedroom unit, and 1.5 on-site parking spaces per two-bedroom unit and three-bedroom units (including parking for persons with a disability and guest parking). Based on these ratios, Project B is required to provide a minimum of 22 total parking spaces. The project will exceed this requirement and provide a total of 30 parking spaces. The project will provide a combination of side-by-side and tandem parking spaces in a controlled tuck under garage. In addition, the project will provide 16 bicycle parking spaces. The proposed building provides an efficient design and layout considering the site constraints and is designed to be fully self-contained as it relates to parking including the use of tandem and compact parking spaces. The project would include the approval of a Parking Management Plan for the tandem and compact parking spaces. Public transportation options exist for residents of the project. For example, Project Site B is located within 1,000 feet of a Montebello Bus Lines #10 line stop and the Montebello Transportation Department administers a “Dial a Taxi” program to residents that are disabled or over age 62. Finally, the project is well-served by other modes of public transportation including Metro Bus lines and offers its residents many choices for access to the aforementioned bike parking and to ride-share services.
The MMC requires building setbacks of 20 feet from the front property line, 5 feet along the side yard setback and 10 feet from the rear yard property line. The MMC also requires a one-foot stepback for every three feet over 15 feet. In this case, the project exceeds the side yard setbacks. The front property line (east elevation facing Poplar Avenue) is proposed at 15 feet and the building does not include the one-foot stepback. The 15-foot setback is sufficient given the building’s contemporary Mediterranean architectural style and inviting residential appearance, main entryway, and abundant landscaping along the front setback. If the stepback requirement were observed, it would require the reduction of the rooftop deck and would reduce the overall number of units. The rear yard setback is proposed at 5 feet where 10 feet is required; however, the rear yard faces the alley so the effective setback from the properties across the alley is 15 feet.
The MMC requires 100 cubic feet of storage per residential unit. The building’s garage is the most efficient and effective location for these storage units given small size of the site. The project includes storage units that are stacked above Ordinance No. 2448
the front ends of parking spaces and provide 100 cubic feet overall for each unit.
In addition, each residential unit has ample interior closet space.
The MMC requires trash areas for multiple-family dwellings to provide the equivalent of not less than seventy-five gallon capacity container per dwelling unit. Where commercial trash containers (three cubic yards or more) are used, one container is required for every seven dwelling units and trash areas are required to be located within one hundred fifty feet of the units which they serve.
Under the MMC, the project would be required to provide two commercial trash bins, and the project includes a dedicated trash and recycling area located at the ground level. The project will have frequent trash pickup throughout the week to ensure that the project’s trash demands are adequately served. With a dedicated trash and recycling area and frequent trash pickup service, the project will include adequate trash facilities.
The project will be fully code compliant with all applicable fire/life/safety and California Title 24 building energy efficiency standards. In addition, the project will be responsible for paying all applicable fees and will upgrade all utilities and infrastructure to serve the projects thereby not negatively impacting the surrounding area or the City as a whole. The new construction will positively enhance property values and the property tax base of the City.
With approval of the Planned Development, the project on Project Site B will be in compliance with the MMC.
B. General Plan.
1. One policy of the Land Use Element of the General Plan is that “Residential development of varying densities and housing types should be compatible among themselves and with adjacent commercial and industrial development”. Another policy of the same element states “Opportunities for a variety of living needs should be available in various locations throughout the City”. For both project sites, separate parcels will be combined to form a single building site which in turn creates opportunities for excellence in design, site layout, and more efficient vehicular and pedestrian access. Both Project A and Project B are of high-quality architectural design and offer amenityrich rental housing opportunities not commonly found in the City of Montebello.
This would be consistent with the General Plan’s policy of provide varying housing types and opportunities for a variety of living needs in the City.
2. A stated purpose of the 2016-2021 Housing Element is “to review development standards to improve site design, architectural quality, and livability of multi-family units”. The 2016-2021 Housing Element contemplated updating the Zoning Standards for the R-3 zone to accommodate the additional housing needs identified in the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA); however, these revised standards have not been codified. The project design for both Ordinance No. 2448
sites’ layout is efficient and self-contained with on-site amenities and parking.
The projects utilize efficient design concepts and are integrated into the neighborhood and are therefore compatible with the surrounding uses. In addition, the new residents will support and enhance demand for commercial services from the nearby business districts in the City.
3. Other stated purposes of the 2016-2021 Housing Element are “to minimize governmental constraints, market constraints, and environmental constraints that may impede the development of new housing,” and “to address future housing needs by expanding housing opportunities in the City.” The R-3 Multiple Family Residential Zone standards provide a significant impediment to the development of modern and efficient residential units. The projects would utilize the MMC’s Planned Development provisions to achieve additional density and certain deviations from the R-3 development standards to expand housing opportunities in the City and meet the goals of the City’s Housing Element. The projects would make a substantial contribution towards meeting the City’s RHNA allocation, including its affordable housing allocation, consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan Housing Element.
4. The projects would also support the following policies of the 2016- 2021 Housing Element related to affordable housing:
Policy 4.1. The City will continue to encourage the development of affordable housing throughout the community.
Policy 4.5. The City will continue to encourage development of new housing in proximity to public services, transportation routes, and other community facilities.
Policy 4.6. The City will encourage the establishment of a variety of affordability levels in multiple-projects.
Consistent with Policy 4.1, the projects would include a total of 32 units affordable to lower-income households (30 in Project A and 2 in Project B).
Consistent with Policy 4.5, these units would be constructed in proximity to nearby public transportation routes and other community facilities. Consistent with Policy 4.6, the projects would be mixed-income projects with a variety of affordability levels, both market-rate and affordable to lower-income households SECTION 3. The City Council hereby approves the Development Agreement attached hereto as Attachment A and subject further to minor, conforming, and clarifying changes consistent with the terms thereof as may be approved by the City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney prior to execution thereof, including competition of references and status of planning approvals, and completion and conformity of all attachments or exhibits thereto, as approved by the City Council. The City Manager is further authorized and directed to execute the Development Agreement on behalf of the City along with all ancillary documents reasonably necessary to effectuate the intent of Ordinance No. 2448
this Ordinance and all acts authorized to be performed by the City Manager in the administration of the Development Agreement pursuant to its terms.
SECTION 4. This Project is statutorily exempt under CEQA per the Public Resources Code Section 21155.1 under the Sustainable Communities Project Exemption (SCPE) if the City Council finds, after conducting a public hearing, that the transit priority project meets all of the requirements of subdivisions (a) and (b) and one of the requirements of subdivision (c). The Project is a transit priority project and meets the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 21155 subdivisions (a) and (b) and Section 21155.1 subdivisions (a) and (b) and one of the requirements of subdivision (c).
The findings and details in the Sustainable Communities Project Exemption which is incorporated herein by this reference.
SECTION 5. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Ordinance, and each and every section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of the ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and cause it to be posted as required by law. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its adoption following the second reading of the ordinance.
The City Clerk is authorized and directed to cause this Development Agreement to be recorded with the County Recorder’s Office for the County of Los Angeles. [Signatures on the following page]

City and Developer shall be referred to within this Agreement jointly as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”
R E C I T A L S:
A. Capitalized Terms. The capitalized terms used in these recitals and throughout this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in Section 1. Any capitalized terms not defined in Section 1 shall have the meaning otherwise assigned to them in this Agreement.
B. Property Status. Developer holds a legal or equitable interest in certain parcels of real property which are located in the City of Montebello, and are more particularly described in the “Legal Description of Property” attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 (Project A Site) and A-2 (Project B Site), and are shown on the “Site Map” attached hereto as Exhibits B-1 (Project A Site) and B-2 (Project B Site) which together show the “Property.” C. Project. This Development Agreement grants Developer the right to redevelop the Property with two elements, referred to herein as Project A and Project B. Project A will involve the construction of 140 apartment units within a 73,807-square foot development site, and Project B will involve the construction of 16 units within a 12,500-square foot development site. The Project (as defined below) will pay all applicable City Developer Fees and Processing Fees.
D. Legislation Authorizing Development Agreements. To strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning and reduce the economic risk of development, the legislature of the State of California adopted the Development Agreement Statute, Sections 65864, et seq., of the Government Code, authorizing City to enter into an agreement with any Person (as hereinafter defined) having a legal or equitable interest in real property providing for the development of such property and establishing certain development rights therein. The legislative findings and declarations underlying the Development Agreement Statute and the provisions governing contents of development agreements state, in Government Code Sections 65864(c) and 65865.2, that the lack of public facilities, including, but not limited to, streets, sewerage, transportation, drinking water, school, and utility facilities is a serious impediment to the development of new housing, and that applicants and local governments may include provisions in development agreements relating to applicant financing of necessary public facilities and subsequent reimbursement over time.
E. Public Benefits. Developer agrees to provide the City with certain public benefits identified in Section 4.3 of this Agreement in exchange for the City agreeing to enter into this Agreement, which affords the Developer with greater project latitude, flexibility, development certainty and the vested rights to complete the Project afforded by this Agreement. 2 F. Intent of the Parties. Developer and City have determined that the Project is a development for which a development agreement is appropriate. The Parties desire to define the parameters of Developer’s public benefits obligations and provide for the orderly development of the Property, assist in attaining the most effective utilization of resources within the City, and otherwise achieve the goals of the Development Agreement Statute. In consideration of these benefits to City and the public benefits of the development of the Property, Developer will receive assurances that City shall grant all permits and approvals and permit the construction required for development of the Property and the Project in accordance with this Agreement.
G. Public Hearings: Findings. In accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq. (“CEQA”)), appropriate studies, analyses, reports, or documents were prepared and considered by the Planning Commission and the City Council. The Planning Commission, after a public hearing on _________, recommended, and on ______________ the City Council adopted, Ordinance No. ________________ approving this Agreement.

Each Affordable Housing Agreement shall be executed by Developer and be recorded against the applicable portion of the Property prior to City issuance of a certificate of occupancy for Project A or Project B, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section
4.3(a)(i.) is subject to Section 5.1 of this Agreement, it shall not obligate Developer to construct the Project or any portion thereof, and Developer shall not be in breach or default under this Section
4.3(a)(i.) in the event that Developer does not construct the Project or any portion thereof. ii. Off-Site Transit Stop Enhancements. Prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy, Developer shall pay to City a one-time payment not to exceed Fifteen-Thousand Dollars ($15,000) ______________ for transit stop enhancements to the nearest transit stop along the westbound route located at Whittier Boulevard and 2nd Street. iii.

4.4 Obligations of Developer Respecting Project Costs. Except as specifically provided herein, it is expressly understood that Developer is fully responsible for the cost of the Project and obtaining any necessary construction or long-term financing therefor.
5. DEVELOPMENT TIMING
5.1 Right of Developer to Control Development and Timing. Developer cannot fully predict the timing, phasing, or sequencing in which the Project will be developed, if at all. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors, many of which are not completely within the control of Developer, such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion, availability of financing, and the state of the general economy. Therefore, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Developer may decide the timing, phasing, and sequencing of the Project as Developer from time to time deems appropriate in the exercise of Developer’s business judgment, this Agreement shall not in any way obligate Developer to construct the Project or any portion thereof, and Developer shall decide whether to proceed with development of the Project in its sole discretion.
6. FEES, TAXES, AND ASSESSMENTS
6.1 Future Developer Fees. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the Term of this Agreement, the Project and Developer shall not be subject to any Future Developer Fees.
6.2 Existing Developer Fees. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the Term of this Agreement, the Project and Developer shall not be subject to any increase in the amount of the Existing Developer Fees.
6.3 Future Processing Fees. With respect to Processing Fees, the Project and Developer shall be subject to the amount in effect at the time said Processing Fee is due, provided that the Processing Fee is not imposed in a manner which discriminates against Developer or the Project and does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service.
6.4 Exceptions. This Agreement shall not prohibit the application of fees, taxes or assessments as follows:
(a) Developer shall be obligated to pay any applicable fees or taxes which are in effect on a City-wide basis as of the Operative Date which are not related to construction or development activities such as business license fees or taxes and utility taxes. (b) Developer shall be obligated to pay any fees as imposed pursuant to any assessment district established within the Project, provided that such assessment district is otherwise proposed or consented to by Developer.
(c) Subject to Section 5.1, Developer shall be obligated to pay any fees which 10 were imposed as Conditions of Approval in the SCPE or any other condition or mitigation measure, required as part of the approval for Existing Development Approvals consistent with this Agreement.
7. AMENDMENT OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
7.1 Initiation of Amendment. Either Party may propose an amendment to this Agreement.
7.2 Procedure. Except as set forth in Section 7.4 or Section 10.3, the procedure for proposing and adopting an amendment to this Agreement shall be the same as the procedure required for entering into this Agreement in the first instance.
7.3 Consent. No amendment to all or any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by duly authorized representatives of each of the Parties hereto and recorded in the Official Records of Los Angeles County.
7.4 Minor Modifications. Implementation of the Project may require minor modifications of the details of the Development Plan and performance of the Parties under this Agreement. The Parties desire to retain a certain degree of flexibility with respect to those items covered in general terms under this Agreement. Therefore, non-substantive and procedural modifications of the Development Plan shall not require an amendment to this Agreement, although they shall require the written consent of both Parties.
A modification will be deemed non-substantive and/or procedural if it does not result in a material change in fees, residential density, intensity of use, permitted uses, the height and size of buildings, number of parking spaces, or the improvement and construction standards and specifications for the Project. Where applicable, a change of less than 10% to any proposed Project specifications shall not be deemed a “material change.” The determination as to whether a matter is non-substantive and procedural shall be made by the City Manager based on the advice of the City Attorney and in consultation with Developer.
The determination of the City Manager shall be final. A written record, containing the written consent of both Parties hereto, shall be made of all non-substantive and/or procedural changes.
7.5 Effect of Amendment to Development Agreement. The Parties agree that, except as may be expressly set forth in any such amendment, an amendment to this Agreement will not alter, affect, impair, modify, waive, or otherwise impact any other rights, duties, or obligations of either Party under this Agreement.
8. RESERVATIONS OF AUTHORITY
8.1 Limitations; Reservations, and Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth hereinabove, in addition to the Existing Land Use Regulations, only the following Land Use Regulations adopted by City hereafter shall apply to and govern the Development of the Property:
(a) Future Regulations. Only those Future Land Use Regulations for which 11 Developer gives City written notice of its election to have such Future Land Use Regulations applied to the Property.
(b) State and Federal Laws and Regulations. Where state or federal laws or regulations enacted after the Approval Date prevent or preclude compliance with one or more provisions of this Agreement, those provisions shall be modified, through revision or suspension, to the extent necessary to comply with such state or federal laws or regulations, in each case, with the prior written consent of the Parties.
(c) Public Health and Safety/Uniform Codes.
i. Future Land Use Regulations or amending Existing Land Use Regulations which are uniform codes and are based on recommendations of a multi-state professional organization and become applicable throughout City, such as, but not limited to, the Uniform Building, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, or Fire Codes, provided such codes are uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects and properties.
ii. Future laws and ordinances of general applicability (“Regulations”) concerning the use of property required for public health and safety which (A) are applicable throughout the City, (B) directly result from findings by City that failure to adopt such Regulations would result in a condition injurious or detrimental to the public health and safety, and (C) that such Regulations are the only reasonable means to correct or avoid such injurious or detrimental condition, provided such Regulations are uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects and properties. This provision is not intended to and does not provide a basis for the imposition of additional Exactions or a moratorium or other like restriction on the timing of development which would impact the Development of the Project. iii. Future Land Use Regulations or amending Existing Land Use Regulations which are regional codes and are based on recommendations of a county or regional organization and which become applicable throughout the region and are uniformly applied on a City-wide basis to all substantially similar types of development projects and properties.
8.2 Regulation by Other Public Agencies. It is acknowledged by the Parties that other public agencies not within the control of City possess authority to regulate aspects of the Development of the Property separately from or jointly with City and this Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies.
9. ANNUAL REVIEW
9.1 Annual Monitoring Review.
(a) City and Developer shall review the extent of Developer’s good faith substantial compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as well as the performance by the City of its obligations under this Agreement, on or about April 1 of each year during the Term (“Annual Monitoring Review”).
12 (b) As part of such Annual Monitoring Review, Developer shall submit a written status report to City demonstrating that, during the preceding twelve-month (12-month) period, it has been in good faith compliance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “good faith compliance” shall mean that Developer has demonstrated that it has acted in a commercially reasonable manner (taking into account the circumstances which then exist) and in good faith in and has substantially complied in good faith with the Developer’s material obligations under this Agreement.
(c) By March 1 of each year during the Term, the City must deliver to the Developer a copy of all staff reports prepared in connection with an Annual Monitoring Review, any prior staff reports generated during the review period, written comments from the public, and, to the extent practical, all related exhibits concerning such Annual Monitoring Review. This information shall be known as the “City Report.”
(d) Following delivery of the City Report, no later than April 1 of each year during the Term, Developer must submit a written status report to the Director addressing the good faith compliance issue set forth in Section 9.1(b) above and any issues raised by the City Report provided to the Developer in accordance with Section 9.1(c) above. (e) The actual reasonable cost of the Annual Monitoring Review shall be borne by Developer upon receipt of invoices from the City, not to exceed $1,000 for each Annual Monitoring Review.
9.2 Failure to Conduct Annual Monitoring Review. The City’s failure to review, at least annually, compliance by the Developer with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not constitute or be asserted by any Party as a breach by any other Party of this Agreement. If the City fails to provide the City Report by March 1 of each year during the Term, Developer will be deemed to be in good faith compliance with this Agreement for the following twelve-month (12- month) period.
10. DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION.
10.1 Rights of Non-Defaulting Party after Default. The Parties agree that legal damages would be extremely difficult to determine and would not give the Parties the benefit of their bargain. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, subject to the provisions of Section 10.4, following the occurrence of a Default (defined below), the Party not in Default (as defined in Section 10.2 below) (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) shall have only the equitable remedy of specific performance or alternatively the ability to terminate this Agreement for a Default by the other Party (the “Defaulting Party”), subject to the procedure of notice and hearing herein. Before this Agreement may be terminated or action may be taken to obtain judicial relief, the Non-Defaulting Party shall comply with the notice and cure provisions of this Section 10. Nothing in this Section shall limit a Party’s right to recover attorneys’ fees pursuant to Section 16.5.
10.2 Notice and Opportunity to Cure. The Non-Defaulting Party in its discretion may elect to declare a default under this Agreement in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth for any failure or breach of the Defaulting Party to perform any material duty or obligation 13 of said Defaulting Party under the terms of this Agreement. However, prior to declaring a default, the Non-Defaulting Party must provide written notice to the Defaulting Party setting forth the nature of the breach or failure and the actions, if any, required by the Defaulting Party to cure such breach or failure. The Defaulting Party shall be deemed in “Default” under this Agreement if the Defaulting Party has failed to take such actions and cure such breach or failure within sixty (60) days after the date of such notice (“Cure Period”). However, if a breach or failure cannot reasonably be cured within such Cure Period, then the Defaulting Party shall not be deemed in Default under this Agreement provided that the Defaulting Party commences to cure the breach within the Cure Period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion.
10.3 Modification or Termination.
(a) If, in the case of a Default by Developer which is not timely cured after notice and within the Cure Period, in accordance with Section 10.2, City determines that this Agreement shall be modified or terminated, then City shall give notice to Developer of its intention to initiate proceedings to modify or terminate this Agreement. (b) The City Council shall hold a public hearing for any proposed termination or modification, except that any amendment or modification which does not relate to the duration of the Agreement, permitted uses of the property, density or intensity of use, height or size or proposed buildings, provisions for reservation or dedication of land, or to any conditions, terms, restrictions or requirements relating to subsequent discretionary actions relating to design, improvement, construction standards and specifications, improvement and construction standards or any other condition or covenant relating to the use of the property shall not require a noticed public hearing before the City Council.
(c) The City Council may refer the matter to the Planning Commission for further proceedings or for a report and recommendation. Upon receipt of any such report and recommendation and the completion of the public hearing, if any, the City Council shall take final action on the modification or termination. Developer must demonstrate good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The burden of proof is upon the Developer. The hearing shall be administrative with no public testimony, unless the Council otherwise determines.
Developer shall have the opportunity to present written or oral testimony. As part of that final determination, the City Council may impose conditions which it considers necessary and appropriate to protect public health, safety and welfare and the interests of the City. The decision of the City Council must be by a majority of its membership, and shall be final, except for judicial review thereof.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, there shall be no modification of this Agreement without Developer’s written consent thereto. If the City Council determines that modification of this Agreement is appropriate pursuant to this Section 10.3, City shall inform Developer of such proposed modification and, unless Developer consents in writing to such modification, City shall have the right to proceed with termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.
10.4 No Specific Performance to Construct Project. Notwithstanding the provisions of 14 Section 10.1, City shall not have the right to specifically enforce against Developer any provisions of this Agreement, nor in any way to compel Developer to either start or complete the Project, nor to seek any monetary damages from Developer for Developer’s failure to start or complete the Project.
10.5 Intentionally Omitted.
10.6 Rights and Duties Following Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement, no Party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder except (i) with respect to any obligations that accrued prior to said termination or with respect to any Default in the performance of the provisions of this Agreement which has occurred prior to said termination, (ii) with respect to any indemnity obligations set forth herein which accrued prior to said termination, and (iii) with respect to any right or duty arising from entitlements or approvals, including the Development Approvals, applicable to the Property approved prior to the effective date of the termination.
11. TRANSFERS
11.1 Right to Transfer.
(a) General. Developer may Transfer its interests, rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Property, or any portion thereof, to any person at any time (a “Transferee”) during the term of this Agreement without approval of the City. For purpose of this Agreement, the Transferee must be considered the “owner” of that portion of the Property which is covered by such transfer.
(b) Assumption Agreement. Upon a Transfer of this Agreement, Developer shall be released and relieved of its legal duty from the assigned obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent Developer is in Default under the terms of this Agreement prior to said Transfer, if (i) Developer has provided to City prior or subsequent written notice of such Transfer, and (ii) the Transferee has expressly assumed in writing, in a form reasonably acceptable to City, the assigned obligations of Developer. Following any such Transfer of any of the rights and interests of Developer under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 10.1(a) above, the exercise, use, and enjoyment of such rights shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if the Transferee were Developer; provided, however, that, to the extent released as provided above, any Default by Developer shall not constitute a Default by the Transferee, and any Default by such Transferee shall not constitute a Default by Developer or any other Transferee.
(c) If a Transferee defaults with respect to any provision of this Agreement, Developer may, but is not obligated to, resume Transferee’s obligations upon written notification to City.
12. INDEMNITY
12.1 Third-Party Litigation.
(a) Non-liability of City. As set forth above, City has determined that this 15 Agreement is consistent with the General Plan and that the General Plan and Development Approvals meets all of the legal requirements of state law. The Parties acknowledge that:
i. In the future there may be challenges to the legality, validity and adequacy of the General Plan, the Development Approvals and/or this Agreement; and ii. If successful, such challenges could delay or prevent the performance of this Agreement and the development of the Property.
In addition to the other provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Section 12, City shall have no liability under this Agreement for any failure of City to perform under this Agreement or the inability of Developer to develop the Property as contemplated by the Development Plan or this Agreement as the result of a judicial determination that, on the Approval Date, or at any time thereafter, the General Plan, the Land Use Regulations, the Development Approvals, this Agreement, or portions thereof, are invalid or inadequate or not in compliance with law.
(b) Revision of Land Use Restrictions. If for any reason the General Plan, Land Use Regulations, Development Approvals, this Agreement or any part thereof is hereafter judicially determined as provided above to be not in compliance with the State or Federal Constitutions, laws or regulations and, if such noncompliance can be cured by an appropriate amendment thereof otherwise conforming to the provisions of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law. The Development Plan, Development Approvals and this Agreement shall be amended, as necessary and with the Parties’ prior written consent, in order to comply with such judicial decision. (c) Participation in Litigation; Indemnity. Developer agrees to indemnify City and its elected boards, commissions, officers, agents and employees and will hold and save them and each of them harmless from any and all actions, suits, claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, obligations and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs) against the City for any Claims or Litigation which arise during the Term of this Agreement, except to the extent such Claims or Litigation are the result of the City’s sole negligence or intentional misconduct. City shall promptly provide Developer with notice of the pendency of any such Claims or Litigation and request that Developer defend the same. If City fails promptly to notify Developer of any such Claims or Litigation or fails to cooperate fully in the defense thereof, Developer shall not, thereafter, be responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless City.
Developer may utilize the City Attorney’s office or use legal counsel of Developer’s choosing, but shall reimburse City for any necessary legal cost incurred by City. If Developer fails to do so, City may defend the Claims or Litigation and Developer shall pay the cost thereof, but if City chooses not to defend the Claims or Litigation, it shall have no liability to Developer. Developer’s obligation to pay the defense cost shall extend until judgment and thereafter through any appeals.
In the event of an appeal, or a settlement offer, the Parties will confer in good faith as to how to proceed and the resolution of any such appeal and the Parties’ response to any such settlement offer shall require the consent of both Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 16 12.2 Hold Harmless: Developer’s Construction and Other Activities. Developer hereby agrees to, and shall defend, save and hold City and its elected and appointed board commissions, officers, agents, and employees harmless from any and all claims, costs (including attorneys’ fees) and liability for any third party damages, personal injury or death, which may arise, directly or indirectly, from Developer’s or Developer’s agents, contractors, subcontractors, agents, or employees’ performance under this Agreement, whether such performance be by Developer or by any of Developer’s agents, contractors or subcontractors or by any one or more Persons directly or indirectly employed by or acting as agent for Developer or any of Developer’s agents, contractors or subcontractors, in each case, during the Term of this Agreement and except to the extent such Claims or Limitation are the result of the City’s negligence or intentional misconduct.
City shall promptly provide Developer with notice of the pendency of any such claim, action or proceeding against City and request that Developer defend the same. If City fails promptly to notify Developer of any such claim, action or proceeding or fails to cooperate fully in the defense thereof, Developer shall not, thereafter, be responsible to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless City.
Nothing herein is intended to make Developer liable for the acts or negligent omissions of City’s officers, employees, agents, contractors of subcontractors or any liability arising therefrom.
12.3 Survival of Indemnity Obligations. All indemnity obligations set forth in this Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement for any reason other than City’s Default.
13. EFFECT OF AGREEMENT ON TITLE
13.1 Subject to the provisions of Sections 11 and 15:
(a) All of the provisions, agreements, rights, powers, standards, terms, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective heirs, successors (by merger, consolidation, or otherwise) and assigns, devisees, administrators, representatives, lessees, and all other Persons acquiring any rights or interests in the Property, or any portion thereof, whether by operation of laws or in any manner whatsoever and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) and assigns;
(b) All of the provisions of this Agreement shall be enforceable as equitable servitudes and constitute covenants running with the land pursuant to applicable law; and (c) Each covenant to do or refrain from doing some act on the Property hereunder (i) is for the benefit of and is a burden upon every portion of the Property, (ii) runs with such lands, and (iii) is binding upon each Party and each successive owner during its ownership of such properties or any portion thereof, and each Person having any interest therein derived in any manner through any owner of such lands, or any portion thereof, and each other Person succeeding to an interest in such lands.
14. PARTIES’ OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES; NON-DISCRIMINATION
14.1 Non-liability of Parties’ Officers and Employees. No official, agent, contractor, or employee of City shall be personally liable to Developer, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by City or for any amount which may become due to Developer or to its 17 successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement. No member, official, agent, contractor, or employee of Developer shall be personally liable to City, or any successor in interest, in the event of any default or breach by Developer or for any amount which may become due to City or to its successor, or for breach of any obligation of the terms of this Agreement.
14.2 Conflict of Interest, Warranty, and Representation of Non-Collusion. No official, officer, or employee of City has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Agreement, nor shall any official, officer, or employee of City participate in any decision relating to this Agreement which may affect his/her financial interest or the financial interest of any corporation, partnership, or association in which (s)he is directly or indirectly interested, or in violation of any interest of any corporation, partnership, or association in which (s)he is directly or indirectly interested, or in violation of any State or municipal statute, ordinance or regulation. The determination of “financial interest” shall be consistent with State law and shall not include interest found to be “remote” or not an “interest” pursuant to California Government Code Sections 1091 through 1091.5.
Developer warrants and represents that it has not paid or given, and will not pay or give, to any third party including, but not limited to, any City official, officer, or employee, any money, consideration, or other thing of value as a result or consequence of obtaining or being awarded this Agreement other than customary expenses of attorneys, advisors, consultants and other similar third parties assisting Developer in the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement.
Developer further warrants and represents that it has not engaged in any act(s), omission(s), or other conduct or collusion that would result in the payment of any money, consideration, or other thing of value to any third party including, but not limited to, any City official, officer, or employee, as a result or consequence of obtaining or being awarded any agreement other than customary expenses of attorneys, advisors, consultants and other similar third parties assisting Developer in the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement. Developer is aware of and understands that any such act(s), omission(s) or other conduct in violation of applicable law resulting in the payment of money, consideration, or other thing of value will render this Agreement void and of no force or effect.
14.3 Covenant Against Discrimination. Developer covenants that, by and for itself, its heirs, executors, assigns, and all persons claiming under or through them, that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, or ancestry in the performance of this Agreement.
15. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.
15.1 Developer’s Breach Not Defeat Mortgage Lien. Developer’s breach of any of the covenants or restrictions contained in this Agreement shall not defeat or render void or invalid the lien of any mortgage made in good faith and for value but unless otherwise provided herein, the terms, conditions, covenants, restrictions, easements, and reservations of this Agreement shall be binding and effective against the holder of any such mortgage whose interest is acquired by foreclosure, trustee’s sale, deed or assignment in lieu thereof, or otherwise.
15.2 Holder Not Obligated to Construct or Complete Improvements. The holder of any mortgage shall in no way be obligated by the provisions of this Agreement to construct or complete 18 the improvements or to guarantee such construction or completion. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to permit or authorize any such holder to devote the Project or any portion thereof to any uses, or to construct any improvements thereon, other than those uses or improvements provided for or authorized by this Agreement, the Development Plan, or applicable law.
15.3 Notice of Default to Mortgagee, Deed of Trust or Other Security Interest Holders.
Whenever City shall deliver any notice or demand to Developer with respect to any Default or alleged Default by Developer hereunder, City shall at the same time deliver a copy of such notice or demand to each holder of record of any mortgage who has previously made a written request to City therefor, or to the representative of such holder as may be identified in such a written request by such holder.
15.4 Right to Cure. Each holder (insofar as the rights of City are concerned) shall have the right, at its option, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the notice, and thirty (30) days after Developer’s cure rights under Section 10.2 have expired, whichever is later, to:
(a) Commence to obtain possession, if necessary, and commence and diligently pursue said cure until the same is completed, and
(b) Add the cost of said cure to the security interest debt and the lien or obligation on its security interest.
15.5 Changes Requested by Lenders. City acknowledges that any prospective lender(s) providing financing for the Project may require or desire certain modifications to the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the terms of this Section 15) and City agrees upon request, from time to time, to meet with Developer and representatives of such lender(s) to negotiate in good faith any such request for modifications of this Agreement. City shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any such requested modification provided such modification is consistent with the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Any such modifications shall be considered minor modifications subject to the provisions of Section 7.4.
16. GENERAL
16.1 Estoppel Certificates. Either Party (or a holder or prospective holder of a mortgage under Section 15) may at any time and from time to time deliver written Notice to the other Party requesting an estoppel certificate (the “Estoppel Certificate”) stating:
(a) This Agreement is in full force and effect and is a binding obligation of the Parties;
(b) This Agreement has not been amended or modified either orally or in writing or, if so amended, identifying the amendments; and (c) There are no existing defaults under this Agreement to the actual knowledge of the Party signing the Estoppel Certificate or, if there are existing defaults, identifying them.
A Party receiving a request for an Estoppel Certificate shall provide a signed certificate to 19 the requesting Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the request. An Estoppel Certificate may be relied on by assignees and holders or prospective holders of a mortgage.
16.2 Force Majeure. The Term of this Agreement and the time within which Developer or City shall have the right or be required to perform any act under this Agreement shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days during which performance of such act is delayed due to war, acts of terrorism, insurrection, strikes, lock-outs, other labor disputes, labor or material shortages, riots, civil disturbances, floods, earthquakes, fires, windstorms, hail, casualties, natural disasters, acts of God, acts of the public enemy, epidemics or pandemics, quarantine or other public health restrictions, freight embargoes, lack of transportation attributable to any of these, acts or failure to act of the other Party, acts or the failure to act of any public or governmental agency or entity (except that acts or failure to act of the City shall not excuse performance by City), legal or governmental restrictions on priority, initiative or referendum, moratoria, processing with governmental agencies other than City, unusually severe weather, third party Claims or Litigation as described in Section 12.1 of this Agreement, or any other similar causes beyond the control or without the fault of the Party claiming an extension of time to perform. An extension of time for any such cause shall be for the period of the enforced delay and shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause if written notice by the Party claiming such extension is sent to the other Party within thirty (30) days of obtaining knowledge of the commencement of the cause, or from the time such written notice by the Party claiming such extension is actually sent to the other Party, if such written notice is sent more than thirty (30) days after obtaining knowledge of the commencement of the cause. Any act or failure to act on the part of a Party shall not excuse performance by that Party.
16.3 Construction of Development Agreement. The language of this Agreement shall be construed as a whole and given its fair meaning. The captions of the sections and subsections are for convenience only and shall not influence construction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. This Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute the surrender or abrogation of City’s governmental powers over the Property.
16.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is adjudged invalid, void or unenforceable, that provision shall not affect, impair, or invalidate any other provision, unless such judgment affects a material part of this Agreement in which case the Parties shall comply with the procedures set forth in Section 12.1(b).
16.5 Attorneys’ Fees. If either Party to this Agreement is required to initiate or defend any action or proceeding against the other Party in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief which may be granted, whether legal or equitable, shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees. Attorneys’ fees shall include attorneys’ fees on any appeal, and in addition a Party entitled to attorneys’ fees shall be entitled to all other reasonable, out-of-pocket costs for investigating such action, taking depositions and discovery and all other necessary costs the court allows which are incurred in such litigation. All such fees shall be deemed to have accrued on commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted.
16.6 Joint and Several Obligations. All obligations and liabilities of Developer 20 hereunder shall be joint and several among the obligees comprising Developer (if more than one).
16.7 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in:
(a) The performance of the provisions of this Agreement as to which time is an element; and
(b) The resolution of any dispute which may arise concerning the obligations of Developer and City as set forth in this Agreement.
16.8 Waiver. Failure by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the other Party, or the failure by a Party to exercise its rights upon the Default of the other Party, shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s right to insist and demand strict compliance by the other Party with the terms of this Agreement thereafter.
16.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The only parties to this Agreement are Developer and City. Except with respect to the holder or prospective holder of any mortgage who shall be entitled to rely upon the provisions of Section 15 hereof to the same extent as if such holder were a party to this Agreement, there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement is not intended, and shall not be construed, to benefit or be enforceable by any other Person whatsoever.
16.10 Mutual Covenants. The covenants contained herein are mutual covenants and also constitute conditions to the concurrent or subsequent performance by the Party benefited thereby of the covenants to be performed hereunder by such benefited Party.
16.11 Relationship of Parties. It is specifically understood and agreed by and between the Parties that the Project is a private development, that neither Party is acting as the agent of the other in any respect hereunder, and that such Party is an independent contracting entity with respect to the terms, covenants, and conditions contained in this Agreement.

Construction of Affordable Units.
a. The Parties intend that all of the Affordable Units shall be constructed concurrently with, or earlier than the construction of the Market Rate Units of Project A. City’s Authorized Representative may approve, in its sole discretion (which may be withheld for any reason), a modified construction schedule if this timing requirement will create unreasonable delays in the issuance of certificates of occupancy for Market Rate Units and if the Developer provides satisfactory assurance, as approved by the City’s Authorized Representative, that the Affordable Units will be completed prior to completion of all of the Market Rate Units. Each Affordable Unit shall be inspected by the City prior to occupancy to determine that it meets the construction and other standards required by this Agreement.
b. The design, appearance, and general quality of the Affordable Units shall be consistent with the design review standards that are part of the Development Plan and shall be of the same level of materials and finishes as Project A’s Market Rate Units.

Total Units 30
5. Income Mix for Affordable Units. A minimum of thirty (30) Affordable Units shall be made available for rent to Lower Income Households or lower in accordance with Section 6, below.
6. Lower Income Restrictions.
a. Affordability Requirements. For a term of fifty-five (55) years commencing upon the Affordable Housing Occupancy Date, each Affordable Unit shall be rented at an Affordable Rent to (or if vacant, available for occupancy by) a Lower Income Household. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, if a subsidy program under Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937, as amended, or any other comparable subsidy program, is available to a Tenant or prospective Tenant, Developer may accept and participate in the subsidy program (voucher), and rent the Affordable Unit at the rental rate established by and permitted under the program as defined by HUD, as adjusted for household size. The Tenant’s portion of the rent shall not exceed an Affordable Rent, however the Tenant’s portion can be less. The amount of rent Developer may receive through the subsidy program can exceed the Affordable Rent, however it shall not be less. b. Household Income Increases. If upon recertification of an Affordable Unit Tenant’s Gross Income, Developer determines that such Tenant’s Gross Income has increased and exceeds the qualifying income for a Lower Income Household, then upon the expiration of such Tenant’s lease and following sixty (60) days’ notice, and if so permitted by local and state law, such tenant shall be required to vacate the unit and Developer shall rent the unit to a Lower Income Household 35 (or, in the alternative, Owner may increase the rent to market-rate rent for the Affordable Unit and designate another unit as an Affordable Unit and rent that unit to a Lower Income Household, provided that a comparable unit is then available) to restore the affordability mix required by this Agreement. In addition, should a Tenant’s Gross Income exceed the qualifying income for a Lower Income Household, and should this section cause the Tenant’s Rent to exceed the requirements of this Agreement, Developer shall still be deemed in compliance with this Agreement until such time as Tenant is required to move out pursuant to this Agreement, at which point the Affordable Unit shall be rented as an Affordable Unit as needed to restore the affordability mix required by this Agreement.
8. No Condominium Conversion. To the extent permitted by law, in the event that Developer converts Project A to condominium or cooperative tenantship or sells condominium or cooperative rights to Project A or any part thereof during the Term of this Agreement, the Affordable Units shall remain rental units under the terms of this Agreement during the Term of this Agreement.
9. Tenant Certification. For each Affordable Unit, prior to the initial occupancy of such Affordable Unit, and upon each successive lease or annual lease renewal for such Affordable Unit thereafter for the remainder of the term of this Agreement, Developer or Developer’s authorized agent shall obtain from that household a written certificate containing all of the following in such format and with such supporting documentation as City may reasonably require:
(i) The identity of each household member; and
(ii) The total household Gross Income.
Developer shall retain such certificates for not less than three (3) years, and upon City’s request, shall provide copies of such certificates to City and make the originals available for City inspection.
10. Affordable Unit Occupancy. In the Affordable Units, no fewer than one occupant shall be allowed per bedroom, unless a reasonable accommodation is required pursuant to state or federal fair housing laws. A studio shall count as a one-bedroom unit for the purposes of these occupancy requirements. If no Lower Income Households apply within sixty (60) days of an Affordable Unit being available that meet these occupancy standards, the City shall, upon request of Developer, grant exceptions to the occupancy standards, but only to the extent such exceptions are consistent with Applicable Laws, and do not increase City’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or diminish or impair City’s rights and remedies under this Agreement.
11. Annual Report; Inspections. By not later than April 1 of each year during the term of this Agreement, commencing with the year following the year of the Affordable Housing Occupancy Date (reflecting information from the year of the Affordable Housing Occupancy Date), Developer shall submit an annual report (“Annual Report”) to City in a form reasonably satisfactory to City, together with Developer’s certification that the Affordable Units are in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement. The Annual Report shall, at a minimum, include the following information for each Affordable Unit: (i) unit number; (ii) number of bedrooms; (iii) current rent and other charges; (iv) dates of any vacancies during the previous year; (v) number of people residing in the unit; (vi) total gross household income of residents; (vii) documentation of source of household income; and (viii) the information required by Section 9, above. Upon the written request of City and not less than four (4) business days’ prior written notice, and at no expense to Developer, Developer shall allow City’s Authorized Representative to inspect and copy all records documenting the source of household income.
12. Non-Discrimination; Compliance with Fair Housing Laws. 36 a. Preference for Displaced and Local Residents. In order to ensure that there is an adequate supply of affordable housing within the City of Montebello for residents and employees of businesses within the City, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the program regulations for funding sources used for development of the Affordable Units, within the pool of eligible applicants, Developer shall endeavor to give priority to qualified households with members who live or work in the city limits of Montebello. In the event there are fewer applicants for the Affordable Units that meet the criteria specified in this paragraph than there are available Affordable Units, such units shall be made available to members of the general public who are qualified Lower Income Households. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a conflict between this provision and the provisions of Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the provisions of such Section 42 shall control if such provisions apply to the project due to Affordable Unit financing sources.
b. Fair Housing. Developer shall comply with state and federal fair housing laws in the marketing and rental of the Affordable Units. With respect to the Affordable Units, Developer shall accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other prospective tenants, persons who are recipients of federal certificates or vouchers for rent subsidies pursuant to the existing Section 8 program or any successor thereto.
13. Non-Discrimination. Developer shall not restrict the rental, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Affordable Units on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, ancestry, or national origin of any person. Developer covenants for itself and all persons claiming under or through it, and this Agreement is made and accepted upon and subject to the condition that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code, in the lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Affordable Units, nor shall Developer or any person claiming under or through Developer establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees in, of, or for the Affordable Units.
14. Reporting Requirements; Access to Information; Inspections. a. Maintenance of Records. Developer shall maintain Affordable Unit tenant leases, income certifications and other matters related to the leasing of the Affordable Units for a period of not less than three (3) years after the final date of occupancy by the tenant. Records related to compliance with this Agreement must be kept accurate and up-to-date. City shall notify Developer of any records it deems insufficient. Developer shall have thirty (30) calendar days from such notice to correct any specified reasonable deficiency in the records, or, if more than thirty (30) days shall be reasonably necessary to correct the deficiency, Developer shall begin to correct the deficiency within thirty (30) days and diligently pursue the correction of the deficiency as soon as reasonably possible.
b. Access to Records; Inspections.
(i) Developer shall provide City and its authorized agents and representatives reasonable access to any books, documents, papers and records associated with the Affordable Units for the purpose of making audits, examinations, excerpts and transcriptions in connection with monitoring compliance with this Agreement, during normal business 37 hours of Developer, upon the City’s written request and not less than four (4) business days’ prior written notice, and at no expense to Developer.
(ii) With four (4) business days’ prior written notice, during normal business hours and as often as may be deemed necessary, and at no expense to Developer, City and its authorized agents and representatives shall be permitted access to and the right to examine the Affordable Units and to interview tenants and employees of the Affordable Units, for the purpose of verifying compliance with applicable regulations and compliance with the conditions of this Agreement.
(iii) Matters discovered by City shall not be disclosed to third parties unless required by law or unless otherwise resulting from or related to the pursuit of any remedies or the assertion of any rights of City hereunder subject to any right of Developer to seek a protective order to prevent the disclosure of any confidential or privileged information.
15. Term of Agreement.
a. Term of Restrictions. This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until the Termination Date.
b. Effectiveness Survives Conveyance of Property. This Agreement shall remain effective and fully binding on all portions of the Property for the full term hereof, regardless of any sale, assignment, transfer, refinancing, or conveyance of the Affordable Units or Project A or any part thereof or interest therein.
c. Reconveyance. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Parties agree to execute and record appropriate instruments to release and discharge this Agreement; provided, however, the execution and recordation of such instruments shall not be necessary or a prerequisite to the termination of this Agreement upon the expiration of the Term.
16. Binding Upon Successors; Covenants to Run with the Land. Developer hereby subjects its interest in the Affordable Units to the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. City and Developer hereby declare their express intent that the covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, administrators, executors, successors in interest, transferees, and assigns of Developer and City, regardless of any sale, assignment, refinancing, conveyance or transfer of the Affordable Units, or any part thereof or interest therein, whether a change in interest occurs voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, except as expressly released by City. Any successor-in-interest to Developer, including without limitation any purchaser, transferee or lessee of the Affordable Units (other than the tenants of the individual Affordable Units) shall be subject to all of the duties and obligations imposed hereby for the full term of this Agreement. Each and every contract, deed, lease or other instrument affecting or conveying the Affordable Units or any part thereof, shall conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to the covenants, restrictions, duties and obligations set forth herein, regardless of whether such covenants, restrictions, duties and obligations are set forth in such contract, deed, lease or other instrument. If any such contract, deed, lease or other instrument has been executed prior to the date hereof, Developer hereby covenants to obtain and deliver to City an instrument in recordable form signed by the parties to such contract, deed, lease or other instrument pursuant to which such parties acknowledge and accept this Agreement and agree to be bound hereby.
38 Developer agrees for itself and for its successors that in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the covenants herein do not run with the land, such covenants shall be enforced as equitable servitudes against the Affordable Units in favor of City.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Developer and City hereby declare their understanding and intent that:
(i) The covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall be construed as covenants running with the land pursuant to California Civil Code section 1468 and not as conditions which might result in forfeiture of title by Developer; (ii) The burden of the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Agreement touch and concern the Property in that the Developer’s legal interest in the Property and all improvements thereon are rendered less valuable thereby; and
(iii) The benefit of the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Agreement touch and concern the land by enhancing and increasing the enjoyment and use of the Property by the Affordable Unit tenants.
(iv) All covenants and restrictions contained herein without regard to technical classification or designation shall be binding upon Developer and its successors in interest for the benefit of the City, and such covenants and restrictions shall run in favor of the City for the entire period during which such covenants and restrictions shall be in force and effect, without regard to whether the City is an owner of any land or interest therein to which such covenant and restrictions relate.
17. Project Construction; Property Management; Repair and Maintenance; Marketing. a. Management Responsibilities. Developer shall be responsible for all management functions with respect to the Affordable Units, including without limitation the selection of tenants, certification and recertification of household income and eligibility, evictions, collection of rents and deposits, maintenance, landscaping, routine and extraordinary repairs, replacement of capital items, and security. City shall have no responsibility for construction, rehabilitation, management, repair, maintenance or marketing of the Affordable Units.
b. Management Entity. If Developer enters into a separate property management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with a property management company or other organization in order to manage the Affordable Units (including leasing, property management, maintenance and repair services, and reporting obligations) and ensure that Developer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Affordable Units are satisfied (“Property Manager”), the Management Agreement shall not relieve Developer of its primary responsibility for proper performance of management duties. The Property Manager shall have the requisite skill and experience to implement the Marketing and Management Plan required under Section 17.f. of this Agreement.
c. Management Policies. Developer shall adopt and implement written management policies with respect to the Affordable Units that comply with the provisions of this Agreement. The Developer shall provide copies of its management policies to City upon their initial adoption and thereafter upon the City’s written request.
39 d. Repair, Maintenance and Security. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Developer shall at its own expense, maintain the Affordable Units in good physical condition, in good repair, and in decent, safe, sanitary, habitable and tenantable living conditions in conformity with all applicable state, federal, and local laws, ordinances, codes, and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, Developer agrees to maintain the Affordable Units (including without limitation, the residential units, common areas, landscaping, driveways, parking areas and walkways) in a condition free of all waste, nuisance, debris, unmaintained landscaping, graffiti, disrepair, abandoned vehicles/appliances, and illegal activity, and shall take all reasonable steps to prevent the same from occurring on the Affordable Units. Developer shall prevent and/or rectify any physical deterioration apart from reasonable wear and tear of the Affordable Units and Project A and shall make all repairs, renewals and replacements necessary to keep the Affordable Units and the improvements located therein in good condition and repair. Developer shall provide adequate security measures for Project A, including without limitation, the installation of adequate lighting and deadbolt locks. e. Additional Requirements. All construction work and professional services for the Affordable Units shall be performed by persons or entities licensed or otherwise authorized to perform the applicable work or service in the State of California if required under local law. To the extent allowed by state and federal laws, Developer shall limit the installation of satellite dish, antenna and other such equipment to screened locations on the Affordable Unit buildings as approved by City. Developer shall diligently work to resolve complaints related to noise, parking, litter or other neighborhood concerns.
f. Marketing and Management Plan. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the residential apartment units on the Property, Developer shall adopt and implement and transmit to the City a plan for marketing and managing the Affordable Units (the “Marketing and Management Plan” or “Plan”). The Marketing and Management Plan shall address in detail how Developer plans to market the Affordable Units to prospective Lower Income Households in accordance with fair housing laws and this Agreement, Developer’s tenant selection criteria, and how Developer plans to certify the eligibility of Lower Income Households. The Plan shall also describe the management team and shall address how Developer and the management entity plan to manage and maintain the Affordable Units. The Developer shall provide a copy of the Marketing and Management Plan to City upon its initial adoption, and thereafter upon the City’s written request and in connection with material modifications to the Marketing and Management Plan. Developer shall abide by the terms of the Marketing and Management Plan in marketing, managing, leasing, and maintaining the Affordable Units and the Project.
g. Fees, Taxes, and Other Levies. Developer shall be responsible for payment of all fees, assessments, taxes, charges, liens and levies applicable to the Affordable Units, including without limitation possessory interest taxes, if applicable, imposed by any public entity, and shall pay such charges prior to delinquency. However, Developer shall not be required to pay any such charge so long as (a) Developer is contesting such charge in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, (b) Developer maintains reserves adequate to pay any contested liabilities, and (c) on final determination of the proceeding or contest, Developer immediately pays or discharges any decision or judgment rendered against it, together with all costs, charges and interest. Developer shall have all rights under Applicable Law to appeal the valuation of Project A (including but not limited to the Affordable Units, any improvements, fixtures or appurtenances, and any personal property) for tax purposes, and nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude Developer from applying for a Welfare Exemption or other taxation relief as a result of the affordability and public benefit provided by the Affordable Units.
40 h. Property Damage or Destruction. If any part of the Affordable Units are damaged or destroyed, Developer shall repair or restore the same, consistent with the occupancy and rent restriction requirements set forth in this Agreement, provided that insurance proceeds are available to be applied to such repairs or restoration within such period and the repair or restoration is financially feasible. Such work shall be commenced as soon as reasonably practicable after the damage or loss occurs and shall be completed within one year thereafter or as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that insurance proceeds are available to be applied to such repairs or restoration within such period and the repair or restoration is financially feasible. During such time that lenders providing financing for the construction of the Project impose requirements that differ from the requirements of this Section the requirements of such lenders and investors shall prevail.
18. Recordation; Subordination. This Agreement shall be recorded in the Official Records of County of Los Angeles no later than the date on which the final subdivision map for the Project is recorded or issuance of building permits for the Project. Developer hereby represents, warrants and covenants that with the exception of easements of record, absent the written consent of City, this Agreement shall not be subordinated in priority to any lien (other than those pertaining to taxes or assessments), encumbrance, or other interest in the Affordable Units. The City shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to subordinate this Agreement to the deeds of trust and regulatory agreements required by Developer’s construction and permanent lenders (each a “Senior Interest”) in a form reasonably approved by the City, if the subordination request meets the following conditions:
(i) All of the proceeds of loans related to the proposed Senior Interest, less any transaction costs, must be used to provide construction and/or permanent financing for the Affordable Units or the Project.
(ii) The subordination agreement(s) must be structured to minimize the risk that this Agreement would be extinguished as a result of a foreclosure by the proposed lender of a Senior Interest (each a “Senior Lender”) or other holder of the Senior Interest. To satisfy this requirement, the subordination agreement must provide the City with adequate rights to cure any defaults by Developer, including: (i) providing the City or its successor with copies of any notices of default in the same manner as provided to Developer at the same time or promptly thereafter such notice is provided to the Developer; and (ii) providing the City with a cure period of at least thirty (30) days to cure any default.
(iii) The subordination does not require the consent of the Senior Lender prior to the City exercising remedies available to the City under this Agreement.
19. No Impairment of Lien. No violation or breach of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, provisions or limitations contained in this Agreement shall defeat or render invalid or in any way impair the lien or charge of any mortgage, deed of trust or other financing or security instrument; provided, however, that any successor in interest to the Affordable Units shall be bound by such covenants, conditions, restrictions, limitations and provisions, whether such successor’s title was acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, trustee’s sale or otherwise.
20. Default and Remedies.
a. Events of Default. An Event of Default shall arise hereunder if Developer fails to perform any obligation under this Agreement and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after the City has notified the Developer in writing of the default, or if the default cannot be cured 41 within thirty (30) days, has failed to commence to cure within thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursued such cure and completed such cure within a reasonable time. b. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and its continuation beyond any applicable cure period, City may proceed with any of the following remedies:
i. Bring an action for equitable relief seeking the specific performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and/or enjoining, abating, or preventing any violation of such terms and conditions, and/or seeking declaratory relief; ii. For violations of obligations with respect to rents for residential units in the Affordable Units, impose as liquidated damages a charge in an amount equal to the actual amount collected in excess of the Affordable Rent; and/or iii. Pursue any other remedy allowed under the City Documents or at law or in equity.
Each of the remedies provided herein is cumulative and not exclusive. City may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under Applicable Law or in equity, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement. Any failure or delay by City in asserting any of its rights or remedies, including specific performance, as to any Event of Default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies or deprive City of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.
21. Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Developer shall indemnify, defend and hold City and its elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, consultants, contractors and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all liability, loss, cost, expense (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation), claim, demand, action, suit, judicial or administrative proceeding, penalty, deficiency, fine, order, and damage (all of the foregoing collectively “Claims”) arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as a result of or in connection with Developer’s performance of or any failure to perform any obligation as and when required by this Agreement. Developer’s indemnification obligations under this Section 21 shall not extend to Claims resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnitees. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
22. Expenses. Developer agrees to pay an annual monitoring fee for compliance with this Agreement, which fee shall initially be $20 per Affordable Unit per year, as may be modified by resolution of the City Council which is in force and effect for a similar class of affordable units.
23. Miscellaneous.
a. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by both Parties and recorded in the Official Records of The County of Los Angeles. b. No Waiver. Any waiver by City of any term or provision of this Agreement must be in writing. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by City to take action on any breach or default hereunder or to pursue any remedy allowed under this Agreement or Applicable Law. No failure or delay by City at any time to require strict performance by Developer of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any election contained herein or any right, power or remedy hereunder 42 shall be construed as a waiver of any other provision or any succeeding breach of the same or any other provision hereof or a relinquishment for the future of such election. c. Notices. Except for any notice, demand or communication required under applicable law to be given in another matter, all notices, demands and communications to be sent pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in writing, and sent to the parties at their respective addresses specified below or to such other address as a party may designate by written notice delivered to the other parties in accordance with this Section.

Construction of Affordable Units.
a. The Parties intend that all of the Affordable Units shall be constructed concurrently with, or earlier than the construction of the Market Rate Units of the Project. City’s Authorized Representative may approve, in its sole discretion (which may be withheld for any reason), a modified construction schedule if this timing requirement will create unreasonable delays in the issuance of certificates of occupancy for Market Rate Units and if the Developer provides satisfactory assurance, as approved by the City’s Authorized Representative, that the Affordable Units will be completed prior to completion of all of the Market Rate Units. Each Affordable Unit shall be inspected by the City prior to occupancy to determine that it meets the construction and other standards required by this Agreement. Upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the City, the Parties shall execute and record the Certificate of Compliance. b. The design, appearance, and general quality of the Affordable Units shall be consistent with the design review standards that are part of the Development Plan and shall be of the same level of materials and finishes as the Project’s Market Rate Units.
4. Unit Size Mix for Affordable Units. The Developer shall provide Affordable Units in accordance with the following unit size mix:
Affordable
Units
Singles 0
1 Bdrm 0
2 Bdrm 1
3 Bdrm 1
Total Units 2
5. Income Mix for Affordable Units. A minimum of two (2) Affordable Units shall be made available for rent to Lower Income Households or lower in accordance with Section 6, below.
6. Lower Income Restrictions.
a. Affordability Requirements. For a term of fifty-five (55) years commencing upon the Affordable Housing Occupancy Date, each Affordable Unit shall be rented at an Affordable Rent to (or if vacant, available for occupancy by) a Lower Income Household. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, if a subsidy program under Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937, as amended, or any other comparable subsidy program, is available to a Tenant or prospective Tenant, Developer may accept and participate in the subsidy program (voucher), and rent the Affordable Unit at the rental rate established by and permitted under the program as defined by HUD, as adjusted for household size. The Tenant’s portion of the rent shall not exceed an Affordable Rent, however the Tenant’s portion can be less. The amount of rent Developer may receive through the subsidy program can exceed the Affordable Rent, however it shall not be less. b. Household Income Increases. If upon recertification of an Affordable Unit Tenant’s Gross Income, Developer determines that such Tenant’s Gross Income has increased and exceeds the qualifying income for a Lower Income Household, then upon the expiration of such Tenant’s lease and following sixty (60) days’ notice, and if so permitted by local and state law, such tenant shall be required to vacate the unit and Developer shall rent the unit to a Lower Income Household 60 (or, in the alternative, Owner may increase the rent to market-rate rent for the Affordable Unit and designate another unit as an Affordable Unit and rent that unit to a Lower Income Household, provided that a comparable unit is then available) to restore the affordability mix required by this Agreement. In addition, should a Tenant’s Gross Income exceed the qualifying income for a Lower Income Household, and should this section cause the Tenant’s Rent to exceed the requirements of this Agreement, Developer shall still be deemed in compliance with this Agreement until such time as Tenant is required to move out pursuant to this Agreement, at which point the Affordable Unit shall be rented as an Affordable Unit as needed to restore the affordability mix required by this Agreement.
8. No Condominium Conversion. To the extent permitted by law, in the event that Developer converts the Project to condominium or cooperative tenantship or sells condominium or cooperative rights to the Project or any part thereof during the Term of this Agreement, the Affordable Units shall remain rental units under the terms of this Agreement during the Term of this Agreement.
9. Tenant Certification. For each Affordable Unit, prior to the initial occupancy of such Affordable Unit, and upon each successive lease or annual lease renewal for such Affordable Unit thereafter for the remainder of the term of this Agreement, Developer or Developer’s authorized agent shall obtain from that household a written certificate containing all of the following in such format and with such supporting documentation as City may reasonably require:
(iii) The identity of each household member; and
(iv) The total household Gross Income.
Developer shall retain such certificates for not less than three (3) years, and upon City’s request, shall provide copies of such certificates to City and make the originals available for City inspection.
10. Affordable Unit Occupancy. In the Affordable Units, no fewer than one occupant shall be allowed per bedroom, unless a reasonable accommodation is required pursuant to state or federal fair housing laws. A studio shall count as a one-bedroom unit for the purposes of these occupancy requirements. If no Lower Income Households apply within sixty (60) days of an Affordable Unit being available that meet these occupancy standards, the City shall, upon request of Developer, grant exceptions to the occupancy standards, but only to the extent such exceptions are consistent with Applicable Laws, and do not increase City’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or diminish or impair City’s rights and remedies under this Agreement.
11. Annual Report; Inspections. By not later than April 1 of each year during the term of this Agreement, commencing with the year following the year of the Affordable Housing Occupancy Date (reflecting information from the year of the Affordable Housing Occupancy Date), Developer shall submit an annual report (“Annual Report”) to City in a form reasonably satisfactory to City, together with Developer’s certification that the Affordable Units are in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement. The Annual Report shall, at a minimum, include the following information for each Affordable Unit: (i) unit number; (ii) number of bedrooms; (iii) current rent and other charges; (iv) dates of any vacancies during the previous year; (v) number of people residing in the unit; (vi) total gross household income of residents; (vii) documentation of source of household income; and (viii) the information required by Section 9, above. Upon the written request of City and not less than four (4) business days’ prior written notice, and at no expense to Developer, Developer shall allow City’s Authorized Representative to inspect and copy all records documenting the source of household income.
12. Non-Discrimination; Compliance with Fair Housing Laws. 61 a. Preference for Displaced and Local Residents. In order to ensure that there is an adequate supply of affordable housing within the City of Montebello for residents and employees of businesses within the City, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with the program regulations for funding sources used for development of the Affordable Units, within the pool of eligible applicants, Developer shall endeavor to give priority to qualified households with members who live or work in the city limits of Montebello. In the event there are fewer applicants for the Affordable Units that meet the criteria specified in this paragraph than there are available Affordable Units, such units shall be made available to members of the general public who are qualified Lower Income Households. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a conflict between this provision and the provisions of Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the provisions of such Section 42 shall control if such provisions apply to the project due to Affordable Unit financing sources.
b. Fair Housing. Developer shall comply with state and federal fair housing laws in the marketing and rental of the Affordable Units. With respect to the Affordable Units, Developer shall accept as tenants, on the same basis as all other prospective tenants, persons who are recipients of federal certificates or vouchers for rent subsidies pursuant to the existing Section 8 program or any successor thereto.
13. Non-Discrimination. Developer shall not restrict the rental, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Affordable Units on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, ancestry, or national origin of any person. Developer covenants for itself and all persons claiming under or through it, and this Agreement is made and accepted upon and subject to the condition that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or group of persons on account of any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code, in the lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Affordable Units, nor shall Developer or any person claiming under or through Developer establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, subtenants, sublessees or vendees in, of, or for the Affordable Units.
14. Reporting Requirements; Access to Information; Inspections. a. Maintenance of Records. Developer shall maintain Affordable Unit tenant leases, income certifications and other matters related to the leasing of the Affordable Units for a period of not less than three (3) years after the final date of occupancy by the tenant. Records related to compliance with this Agreement must be kept accurate and up-to-date. City shall notify Developer of any records it deems insufficient. Developer shall have thirty (30) calendar days from such notice to correct any specified reasonable deficiency in the records, or, if more than thirty (30) days shall be reasonably necessary to correct the deficiency, Developer shall begin to correct the deficiency within thirty (30) days and diligently pursue the correction of the deficiency as soon as reasonably possible.
b. Access to Records; Inspections.
(i) Developer shall provide City and its authorized agents and representatives reasonable access to any books, documents, papers and records associated with the Affordable Units for the purpose of making audits, examinations, excerpts and transcriptions in connection with monitoring compliance with this Agreement, during normal business 62 hours of Developer, upon the City’s written request and not less than four (4) business days’ prior written notice, and at no expense to Developer.
(ii) With four (4) business days’ prior written notice, during normal business hours and as often as may be deemed necessary, and at no expense to Developer, City and its authorized agents and representatives shall be permitted access to and the right to examine the Affordable Units and to interview tenants and employees of the Affordable Units, for the purpose of verifying compliance with applicable regulations and compliance with the conditions of this Agreement.
(iii) Matters discovered by City shall not be disclosed to third parties unless required by law or unless otherwise resulting from or related to the pursuit of any remedies or the assertion of any rights of City hereunder subject to any right of Developer to seek a protective order to prevent the disclosure of any confidential or privileged information.
15. Term of Agreement.
a. Term of Restrictions. This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until the Termination Date.
b. Effectiveness Survives Conveyance of Property. This Agreement shall remain effective and fully binding on all portions of the Property for the full term hereof, regardless of any sale, assignment, transfer, refinancing, or conveyance of the Affordable Units or the Project or any part thereof or interest therein.
c. Reconveyance. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Parties agree to execute and record appropriate instruments to release and discharge this Agreement; provided, however, the execution and recordation of such instruments shall not be necessary or a prerequisite to the termination of this Agreement upon the expiration of the Term.
16. Binding Upon Successors; Covenants to Run with the Land. Developer hereby subjects its interest in the Affordable Units to the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. City and Developer hereby declare their express intent that the covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall be deemed covenants running with the land and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, administrators, executors, successors in interest, transferees, and assigns of Developer and City, regardless of any sale, assignment, refinancing, conveyance or transfer of the Affordable Units, or any part thereof or interest therein, whether a change in interest occurs voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, except as expressly released by City. Any successor-in-interest to Developer, including without limitation any purchaser, transferee or lessee of the Affordable Units (other than the tenants of the individual Affordable Units) shall be subject to all of the duties and obligations imposed hereby for the full term of this Agreement. Each and every contract, deed, lease or other instrument affecting or conveying the Affordable Units or any part thereof, shall conclusively be held to have been executed, delivered and accepted subject to the covenants, restrictions, duties and obligations set forth herein, regardless of whether such covenants, restrictions, duties and obligations are set forth in such contract, deed, lease or other instrument. If any such contract, deed, lease or other instrument has been executed prior to the date hereof, Developer hereby covenants to obtain and deliver to City an instrument in recordable form signed by the parties to such contract, deed, lease or other instrument pursuant to which such parties acknowledge and accept this Agreement and agree to be bound hereby.
63 Developer agrees for itself and for its successors that in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the covenants herein do not run with the land, such covenants shall be enforced as equitable servitudes against the Affordable Units in favor of City.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Developer and City hereby declare their understanding and intent that:
(i) The covenants and restrictions contained in this Agreement shall be construed as covenants running with the land pursuant to California Civil Code section 1468 and not as conditions which might result in forfeiture of title by Developer; (ii) The burden of the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Agreement touch and concern the Property in that the Developer’s legal interest in the Property and all improvements thereon are rendered less valuable thereby; and
(iii) The benefit of the covenants and restrictions set forth in this Agreement touch and concern the land by enhancing and increasing the enjoyment and use of the Property by the Affordable Unit tenants.
(iv) All covenants and restrictions contained herein without regard to technical classification or designation shall be binding upon Developer and its successors in interest for the benefit of the City, and such covenants and restrictions shall run in favor of the City for the entire period during which such covenants and restrictions shall be in force and effect, without regard to whether the City is an owner of any land or interest therein to which such covenant and restrictions relate.
17. Project Construction; Property Management; Repair and Maintenance; Marketing. a. Management Responsibilities. Developer shall be responsible for all management functions with respect to the Affordable Units, including without limitation the selection of tenants, certification and recertification of household income and eligibility, evictions, collection of rents and deposits, maintenance, landscaping, routine and extraordinary repairs, replacement of capital items, and security. City shall have no responsibility for construction, rehabilitation, management, repair, maintenance or marketing of the Affordable Units.
b. Management Entity. If Developer enters into a separate property management agreement (“Management Agreement”) with a property management company or other organization in order to manage the Affordable Units (including leasing, property management, maintenance and repair services, and reporting obligations) and ensure that Developer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Affordable Units are satisfied (“Property Manager”), the Management Agreement shall not relieve Developer of its primary responsibility for proper performance of management duties. The Property Manager shall have the requisite skill and experience to implement the Marketing and Management Plan required under Section 17.f. of this Agreement.
c. Management Policies. Developer shall adopt and implement written management policies with respect to the Affordable Units that comply with the provisions of this Agreement. The Developer shall provide copies of its management policies to City upon their initial adoption and thereafter upon the City’s written request.
64 d. Repair, Maintenance and Security. Throughout the term of this Agreement, Developer shall at its own expense, maintain the Affordable Units in good physical condition, in good repair, and in decent, safe, sanitary, habitable and tenantable living conditions in conformity with all applicable state, federal, and local laws, ordinances, codes, and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, Developer agrees to maintain the Affordable Units (including without limitation, the residential units, common areas, landscaping, driveways, parking areas and walkways) in a condition free of all waste, nuisance, debris, unmaintained landscaping, graffiti, disrepair, abandoned vehicles/appliances, and illegal activity, and shall take all reasonable steps to prevent the same from occurring on the Affordable Units. Developer shall prevent and/or rectify any physical deterioration apart from reasonable wear and tear of the Affordable Units and the Project and shall make all repairs, renewals and replacements necessary to keep the Affordable Units and the improvements located therein in good condition and repair. Developer shall provide adequate security measures for the Project, including without limitation, the installation of adequate lighting and deadbolt locks. e. Additional Requirements. All construction work and professional services for the Affordable Units shall be performed by persons or entities licensed or otherwise authorized to perform the applicable work or service in the State of California if required under local law. To the extent allowed by state and federal laws, Developer shall limit the installation of satellite dish, antenna and other such equipment to screened locations on the Affordable Unit buildings as approved by City. Developer shall diligently work to resolve complaints related to noise, parking, litter or other neighborhood concerns.
f. Marketing and Management Plan. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the residential apartment units located on the Project A Site Developer shall adopt and implement a plan for marketing and managing the Affordable Units (the “Marketing and Management Plan” or “Plan”). The Marketing and Management Plan shall address in detail how Developer plans to market the Affordable Units to prospective Lower Income Households in accordance with fair housing laws and this Agreement, Developer’s tenant selection criteria, and how Developer plans to certify the eligibility of Lower Income Households. The Plan shall also describe the management team and shall address how Developer and the management entity plan to manage and maintain the Affordable Units. The Developer shall provide a copy of the Marketing and Management Plan to City upon its initial adoption, and thereafter upon the City’s written request and in connection with material modifications to the Marketing and Management Plan. Developer shall abide by the terms of the Marketing and Management Plan in marketing, managing, leasing, and maintaining the Affordable Units and the Project.
g. Fees, Taxes, and Other Levies. Developer shall be responsible for payment of all fees, assessments, taxes, charges, liens and levies applicable to the Affordable Units, including without limitation possessory interest taxes, if applicable, imposed by any public entity, and shall pay such charges prior to delinquency. However, Developer shall not be required to pay any such charge so long as (a) Developer is contesting such charge in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, (b) Developer maintains reserves adequate to pay any contested liabilities, and (c) on final determination of the proceeding or contest, Developer immediately pays or discharges any decision or judgment rendered against it, together with all costs, charges and interest. Developer shall have all rights under Applicable Law to appeal the valuation of the Project (including but not limited to the Affordable Units, any improvements, fixtures or appurtenances, and any personal property) for tax purposes, and nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude Developer from applying for a Welfare Exemption or other taxation relief as a result of the affordability and public benefit provided by the Affordable Units.
65 h. Property Damage or Destruction. If any part of the Affordable Units are damaged or destroyed, Developer shall repair or restore the same, consistent with the occupancy and rent restriction requirements set forth in this Agreement, provided that insurance proceeds are available to be applied to such repairs or restoration within such period and the repair or restoration is financially feasible. Such work shall be commenced as soon as reasonably practicable after the damage or loss occurs and shall be completed within one year thereafter or as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that insurance proceeds are available to be applied to such repairs or restoration within such period and the repair or restoration is financially feasible. During such time that lenders providing financing for the construction of the Project impose requirements that differ from the requirements of this Section the requirements of such lenders and investors shall prevail.
18. Recordation; Subordination. This Agreement shall be recorded in the Official Records of County of Los Angeles no later than the date on which the final subdivision map for the Project is recorded or issuance of building permits for the Project. Developer hereby represents, warrants and covenants that with the exception of easements of record, absent the written consent of City, this Agreement shall not be subordinated in priority to any lien (other than those pertaining to taxes or assessments), encumbrance, or other interest in the Affordable Units. The City shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to subordinate this Agreement to the deeds of trust and regulatory agreements required by Developer’s construction and permanent lenders (each a “Senior Interest”) in a form reasonably approved by the City, if the subordination request meets the following conditions:
(i) All of the proceeds of loans related to the proposed Senior Interest, less any transaction costs, must be used to provide construction and/or permanent financing for the Affordable Units or the Project.
(ii) The subordination agreement(s) must be structured to minimize the risk that this Agreement would be extinguished as a result of a foreclosure by the proposed lender of a Senior Interest (each a “Senior Lender”) or other holder of the Senior Interest. To satisfy this requirement, the subordination agreement must provide the City with adequate rights to cure any defaults by Developer, including: (i) providing the City or its successor with copies of any notices of default in the same manner as provided to Developer at the same time or promptly thereafter such notice is provided to the Developer; and (ii) providing the City with a cure period of at least thirty (30) days to cure any default.
(iii) The subordination does not require the consent of the Senior Lender prior to the City exercising remedies available to the City under this Agreement.
19. No Impairment of Lien. No violation or breach of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, provisions or limitations contained in this Agreement shall defeat or render invalid or in any way impair the lien or charge of any mortgage, deed of trust or other financing or security instrument; provided, however, that any successor in interest to the Affordable Units shall be bound by such covenants, conditions, restrictions, limitations and provisions, whether such successor’s title was acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, trustee’s sale or otherwise.
20. Default and Remedies.
a. Events of Default. An Event of Default shall arise hereunder if Developer fails to perform any obligation under this Agreement and fails to cure such default within thirty (30) days after the City has notified the Developer in writing of the default, or if the default cannot be cured 66 within thirty (30) days, has failed to commence to cure within thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursued such cure and completed such cure within a reasonable time. b. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and its continuation beyond any applicable cure period, City may proceed with any of the following remedies:
i. Bring an action for equitable relief seeking the specific performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and/or enjoining, abating, or preventing any violation of such terms and conditions, and/or seeking declaratory relief; ii. For violations of obligations with respect to rents for residential units in the Affordable Units, impose as liquidated damages a charge in an amount equal to the actual amount collected in excess of the Affordable Rent; and/or iii. Pursue any other remedy allowed under the City Documents or at law or in equity.
Each of the remedies provided herein is cumulative and not exclusive. City may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under Applicable Law or in equity, in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement. Any failure or delay by City in asserting any of its rights or remedies, including specific performance, as to any Event of Default shall not operate as a waiver of any default or of any such rights or remedies or deprive City of its right to institute and maintain any actions or proceedings which it may deem necessary to protect, assert or enforce any such rights or remedies.
21. Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Developer shall indemnify, defend and hold City and its elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, agents, consultants, contractors and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against all liability, loss, cost, expense (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation), claim, demand, action, suit, judicial or administrative proceeding, penalty, deficiency, fine, order, and damage (all of the foregoing collectively “Claims”) arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, as a result of or in connection with Developer’s performance of or any failure to perform any obligation as and when required by this Agreement. Developer’s indemnification obligations under this Section 21 shall not extend to Claims resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Indemnitees. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
22. Expenses. Developer agrees to pay an annual monitoring fee for compliance with this Agreement, which fee shall initially be $20 per Affordable Unit per year, as may be modified by resolution of the City Council which is in force and effect for a similar class of affordable units.
23. Miscellaneous.
a. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by both Parties and recorded in the Official Records of The County of Los Angeles. b. No Waiver. Any waiver by City of any term or provision of this Agreement must be in writing. No waiver shall be implied from any delay or failure by City to take action on any breach or default hereunder or to pursue any remedy allowed under this Agreement or Applicable Law. No failure or delay by City at any time to require strict performance by Developer of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any election contained herein or any right, power or remedy hereunder 67 shall be construed as a waiver of any other provision or any succeeding breach of the same or any other provision hereof or a relinquishment for the future of such election. c. Notices. Except for any notice, demand or communication required under applicable law to be given in another matter, all notices, demands and communications to be sent pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in writing, and sent to the parties at their respective addresses specified below or to such other address as a party may designate by written notice delivered to the other parties in accordance with this Section.
