ITEM # 5

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Arlene Salazar, Acting City Manager

BY: Michael Solorza, Director of Finance

SUBJECT: TREASURER'S REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDING JUNE 30, 2023

DATE: August 9, 2023

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Receive and file the Quarterly Treasurer’s Report for the quarter ending June 30, 2023 (Fourth Quarter).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Attached is a cash report and portfolio summary as of June 30, 2023 (Attachments A and B). This report provides a snapshot at quarter end of the City’s cash position, detailing balances in various accounts and types of investments.

The table below summarizes available cash by major type of account, comparing ending balances for June 2021, 2022 and 2023. The “General” account combines Bank of the West, Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), and various Certificates of Deposit, and represents the most liquid and accessible source of cash for the City to pay ongoing expenses:

Page 7 of 399 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 9, 2023

Page 2 of 5 ends

As of June 30, 2023, total available cash was $24.580 million greater than the same quarter, prior year (i.e., June 30, 2022). The City’s overall cash position has improved over the years. For example, the June balance for the past eight years is shown below:

Comparing June ending balances from prior years, in 2016 overall cash was $48.156 million, versus $124.430 million as of June, 2023 – a $76.274 million improvement in the City’s available cash position (LAIF, Bank of the West, etc.), or put another way a 258% increase.

The continuing strength of the City’s cash position is due to a number of reasons. A primary factor is proceeds from Measure H, the City’s ¾ cent transaction and use tax – which began flowing to the city in Fiscal Year 2020-21. Property tax receipts are also up, as overall assessed values in the City continue to grow. The City has also received new or one-time funding from the Federal government for Transit operations (Montebello Bus Lines) and has applied for and received new grants for various purposes. In addition, the recent sale of the City’s water system (February, 2023) and Transit property in Pico Rivera (February, 2023) have added to the overall cash position in FY 2022-23.

It should also be noted that monthly cash balances fluctuate, as monthly expenses can vary considerably from month to month, especially when comparing prior years. The City receives numerous grants from Federal, State and local governmental agencies, with expenses and concomitant revenue reimbursement varying depending on the grant award and the particular progress made in the project.

Despite these natural fluctuations in cash flow, one can see by the tables above that the City’s overall cash position has grown steadily over the past several years. This improvement in cash flow ensures daily expenses are easily met, with no danger of having to postpone payments due to lack of liquidity. Sufficient liquidity is just one of many positive signs of the City’s progress towards financial stability and security.

The City receives income from the investment of idle cash. This revenue varies based on balances and current interest rate environments. The historically low interest rates of the past decade have limited the amount of revenue received from idle cash investments. However, interest rates have risen markedly in the past eighteen months, as the Federal Reserve continues to raise the federal funds rate in an effort to combat high inflation.

Page 8 of 399 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 9, 2023

Page 3 of 5 ends

The effective rate of return on the City’s investment portfolio as of June 30, 2023 was

1.41%. It is useful to compare these rates of return to various U.S. Treasuries, as a general benchmark. Recent data (July 31) have the 10-year yield at 3.93%, 5-year at

4.16% and the 2-year yield at 4.85%. The inverted yield-curve – where shorter-term treasuries have higher yields than longer-term ones despite carrying lower risk – is not often seen, and is often viewed as a harbinger to recession. The majority of the City’s idle cash is held in LAIF, with the June yield 3.15%, up from 2.74% in March and four times the rate in June, 2022.

The City’s current investment policy allows funds to be invested in a broad range of Government Code approved fixed income vehicles. Staff will work to analyze opportunities that will help the City’s idle cash work harder (i.e., earn additional income) while not sacrificing safety or liquidity.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

State Government Code Section 53600 et al governs the investment of idle cash by local agencies. In addition, local agencies are required to have City Council approved investment policies which further dictate how funds are invested. Government Code Section 53646(b), as well as the City’s investment policy, provide for quarterly reporting of investment activity. The quarterly report, along with details found in Attachments A and B, are designed to provide additional information, comparing current year balances and performance to prior years, etc.

The City of Montebello holds idle cash in various depositories:

• Bank of the West checking accounts (i.e., General used to pay bills, Payroll for bi- weekly payroll, etc.)
• Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF)
• Multi-Bank Securities (MBS) (i.e., Certificates of Deposit)

The investment of idle cash is predicated on the principals of: liquidity, safety and yield, in that order. The City earns interest from the various deposits, hence the diversification of where cash is held. However, the first and foremost priority is having adequate liquidity to pay daily operating costs: payroll, invoices for goods and services, etc.

Cash flow varies throughout the fiscal year, based on timing of the receipt of revenue.

The receipt of property tax revenue in April and December causes the largest inflow in daily cash, followed by quarterly sales tax “true up” payments (i.e., March, June, etc.), receipt of Successor Agency revenue (Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund) in January and June, etc.

Therefore, the City maintains a reasonable balance in its checking account – the most liquid account utilized for daily expenses. The LAIF account with the State Treasurer provides additional liquidity. Depending on cash flow needs, withdrawals or deposits are made from/to the LAIF account into/out of the General checking account. Finally, investment in Certificates of Deposit through a clearinghouse service (i.e., Multi-Bank Securities) provides additional yield with funds not needed for immediate liquidity

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 9, 2023

Page 4 of 5 ends

deposited accordingly (approximately $1.736 million).

The table below provides an overview of the City’s major liquid cash accounts: Bank of the West checking and the two separate LAIF accounts, at quarter end from June, 2020 through June 2023. The average quarterly balance for the City’s checking account since June 2020 is $12.971 million, more than sufficient to meet weekly expenses.

The City’s Investment Policy was most recently reviewed and approved by the City Council on June 14, 2023. Prior to that, the policy was reviewed, approved and updated on: June8, 2022, June 23, 2021, October 28, 2020, and August 19, 2019. The Government Code requires an annual review and approval of the investment policy statement – even if no changes are made.

The 2019 approval was the first time the City’s investment policy was updated since 2011, with a previous update done in 2007. These infrequent reviews and updates were clearly in violation of Government Code. Moreover, Staff has endeavored to present a more thoroughly researched quarterly Treasurer’s report, with detailed background and explanations of the various investment accounts – a marked improvement over prior years reports presented with no discussion or analysis.

In an effort to ensure the City complies with State law, the investment policy will continue to be presented annually along with budget adoption (June of each year). This process will ensure an annual review and update (as necessary) of the investment policy by the City Council, ensuring the City complies with State statutes.

The updated version of the City’s investment policy was submitted to the California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA) for consideration of their investment policy review and award program. The CMTA investment policy program utilizes public treasury

officials to review public agency policies to ensure they comply with best practices and Government Code. For the first time in the City’s 101 year history, the City’s policy was submitted and passed the review with flying colors. Having passed this review process is one more indication of the progress made in achieving fiscal sustainability in Montebello, as its policies adhere to best practices.

ITEM # 6

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

FROM: Arlene Salazar, Acting City Manager

BY: Joseph Palombi, Director of Planning & Community Development

SUBJECT: WAIVE SECOND READING AND ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 2464 AMENDING THE ZONING DESIGNATION (CASE NO. “PC-2022-0003- ZC-SPR-TPM”) FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 608, 612, and 616 HART PLACE TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF SIXTEEN (16)

RESIDENTIAL UNITS

DATE: August 9, 2023

RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Waive Second Reading and Adopt Ordinance No. 2464 approving Zone Change (ZC) Case No. PC-2022-0003-ZC-SPR-TPM as well as the related Development Agreement (No. 01-22) and Density Bonus Agreement between the City of Montebello and San Giorgio, LLC to amend the zoning designation for the properties located at 608, 612, and 616 Hart Place (“Project Site”) from C-R (Commercial Restricted) to C-R-HOO (Commercial Restricted with the Housing Opportunity Overlay) to allow the development of sixteen (16) residential units, and make related findings that the proposed project is consistent with the Montebello General Plan; and

2. FIND and DETERMINE the ZC, Development Agreement, and Density Bonus Agreement to be statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) under section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) considering that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. No physical changes will occur as a result of the proposed Zone Change, Development Agreement, and Density Bonus Agreement; and

3. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact associated with approving the Zone Change, Development Agreement, and Density Bonus Agreement for the Project Site. The property improvements to this location will generate additional property tax, when

Page 36 of 399 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 9, 2023

Page 2 of 7 ends

completed. Future budgets will reflect the additional property tax from the increased assessed value due to the addition of the new residential units.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On July 26, 2023, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing and approved Ordinance No. 2464 by a 4-0-0-1 vote, with four (4) members voting in favor of the proposed project and one member being absent, approving the Zone Change (ZC) Case No. PC-2022-0003-ZC-SPR-TPM as well as the related Development Agreement (No. 01-22) and Density Bonus Agreement between the City of Montebello and San Giorgio, LLC to amend the zoning designation for the properties located at 608, 612, and 616 Hart Place (“Project Site”) from C-R (Commercial Restricted) to C-R-HOO (Commercial Restricted with the Housing Opportunity Overlay) to allow the development of sixteen (16) residential units.

On June 20, 2023, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and considered the proposal for a Zone Change, Site Plan Review, Tentative Parcel Map, Development Agreement, and Density Bonus Agreement (Case No. PC-2022-0003-ZC- SPR-TPM) to: 1) change the zoning designation from C-R (Commercial Restricted) to C- R-HOO (Commercial Restricted with the Housing Opportunity Overlay); 2) merge three (3) parcels into one (1) parcel; and 3) allow the construction of sixteen (16) dwelling units at 608, 612, and 616 Hart Place. The Planning Commission approved the Site Plan Review and Tentative Parcel Map and recommended that the City Council approve ZC (Case No. PC-2022-0004-GPA-ZC-SPR) as well as the related Development Agreement and Density Bonus Agreement. Approval of the Site Plan Review is contingent upon the City Council’s approval of the Zone Change. The action of the Planning Commission was taken by a 4-0-0-1 vote with 4 members voting in favor of the proposal and 1 member being absent.

The project includes the construction of sixteen (16) two-story townhome type residential units over a one-story parking garage. The parking garage is located above ground and includes a total of thirty-one (31) parking spaces including 2 van accessible spaces. The ground floor parking garage also includes common space, an elevator, a trash enclosure, a utility room, and stairs to access the 2nd and 3rd levels of the structure. Vehicular access to the Project Site will be via a two-way driveway accessible via Hart Place.

The proposed units will be two-stories and will be located directly above the 1 st floor parking garage. Each unit will have a total of two (2) bedrooms, with some units being proposed with 2.5 bathrooms and others with 1.5 bathrooms depending on the unit type.

The units vary in size and range from 1,060 square feet to 1,155 square feet per unit.

The units which front Hart Place are equipped with a balcony/terrace.

Pursuant to Section 17.47.060 of the MMC, all development in the HOO zone shall conform to the development standards applicable to the R-4 zone and the minimum number of residential units per site shall be sixteen. The project proposes to construct a total of 16 residential units, which complies with the minimum density requirements.

However, the project is proposing to deviate from the required setbacks and other development standards contained in Chapter 17.10 of the MMC. Pursuant to California

Page 37 of 399 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 9, 2023

Page 3 of 7 ends

State Density Bonus Law, developers may obtain concessions and modifications to local development standards if a project restricts at least 10% of the housing units to lower income residents and a city may not prohibit a developer from requesting concessions.

Since the project proposes to restrict 25% of the total number of units for low-income residents, the project is entitled to a density bonus of 35% and can request concessions and modifications to the development standards. Although the project does not request a density bonus, the applicant is requesting concessions and modifications which include the following:

• An increase of the maximum allowable lot coverage from 60% to 67.2% • A reduction in the minimum required private open space from 2,400 square feet to 910 square feet.
• A reduction in the minimum required total open space (including private and common open space) from 4,800 square feet to 4,770 square feet. • A reduction in the required additional setback for the portion of the building over fifteen (15) feet in height.
• An increase in the maximum allowable building height from 25 feet to 35 feet.

In addition, California State Density Bonus Law states that upon a developer’s request, the city may not require more than one and one-half (1.5) parking ratios for a density bonus project that provides residential units with two to three bedrooms. Based on this parking ratio, the parking requirement for the development is a total of 24 parking spaces.

This parking requirement is met through the 31 total parking spaces provided at the site.

For City Council consideration, the Applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Change amendment from Commercial Restricted, C-R to Commercial Restricted with the Housing Opportunity Overlay Zone (C-R-HOO). The existing and proposed zoning designation of the parcels are reflected in the Exhibit 1 and 2 below:

Exhibit 1: Existing Zoning (C-R)

Page 38 of 399 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 9, 2023

Page 4 of 7 ends

Exhibit 2: Proposed Zoning (C-R-HOO)

FINDINGS
Pursuant to Chapter 17.76 (Zone Changes and Amendments) of the MMC, the application for a zone change shall be made on a form provided by the City. The City’s application for zone changes requires the applicant to thoroughly respond to the following items:

1. Describe how the proposed Zone Change is consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan;

The zone change is consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan in that the General Plan seeks to propose and implement practices which are responsive to the needs of the community. The proposed Zone Change will facilitate the development of housing in the project area which should assist in meeting the housing needs of the Montebello community. The General Plan Land Use and Housing Element analysis provided above further demonstrate how the proposed zone change is consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan. Additionally, the site is physically suitable for the proposed zone change and the increased density should not pose any significant issues for the surrounding parcels considering that the Project Site is primarily surrounded by multiple family residences in the area. The proposed zone change is not likely to cause any substantial environmental damage and is not likely to cause any serious public health problems. Additionally, the proposed zone change will not conflict with any easements.

2. Detail why the proposed Zone Change is necessary;

The Zone Change is necessary because the proposed project is not achievable under the current Commercial Restricted (C-R) zoning designation of the property. Based on Chapter 17.24 of the MMC, the purpose of the C-R zone is to provide areas for

Page 39 of 399 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 9, 2023

Page 5 of 7 ends

professional offices and related uses close to residential areas, but residential units are typically not allowed in this zoning designation. By applying the Housing Opportunity Overlay Zone to the property, greater flexibility will be provided to the developer of the project site and the residential units proposed will not contradict the intended use of the zone. Additionally, it is anticipated that the development of housing in this vicinity will stimulate economic development and promote the public good by providing housing for a range of income levels.

3. Describe how the proposed Zone Change will not create problems harmful to the public health, safety, and general welfare;

The parcels existing at the project site are currently occupied by multiple residential buildings. While the density of the development at the project site would increase if the Zone Change and the related entitlements are approved, it is not anticipated that the project will create problems harmful to the public health, safety, and general welfare. The proposed Zone Change and development can be beneficial to the public health, safety, and general welfare by creating a greater demand for resources in the area, bringing in construction and related jobs, as well as by providing a more abundant supply of housing for various income levels. Additionally, there are a significant number of higher density properties in the vicinity which should limit the impact of the proposed development on the local community. The proposed Zone Change and development has been reviewed by various city departments including the fire department, building division, police department, as well as other departments and the feedback provided by the city’s departments will help to ensure that the project will not create problems harmful to the public health, safety, and general welfare.

GENERAL PLAN LAND USE AND HOUSING ELEMENT

The General Plan Land Use designation for the Project Site is Medium Density Residential and a general plan amendment is not proposed in conjunction with this specific project proposal. The following General Plan Land Use Element and Housing Element goals and policies are applicable to the proposed development:

General Plan Land Use Element Goal #1 is “to formulate a plan which is responsive to the needs of the community and which permits the orderly arrangement of land uses, permitting sufficient areas for reasonable development.”

General Plan Land Use Residential Policy #1 states that “residential development should aim for the density standards outlined in the Housing Element of the General Plan.”

General Plan Land Use Residential Policy #2 states that “residential development of varying densities and housing types should be compatible among themselves and with adjacent commercial and industrial development”.

General Plan Land Use Element Residential Policy #3 states that “opportunities for a variety of living needs should be available in various locations throughout the City".

Page 40 of 399 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF AUGUST 9, 2023

Page 6 of 7 ends

General Plan Land Use Element Residential Policy #4 states that “the existing medium density residential area characterized by mixed housing types in the central portion of Montebello should be retained”.

General Plan Housing Element Goal #2 is to “increase housing production to improve affordability for the City’s current and future residents.”

General Plan Housing Element Policy #2.4 states that “the City shall increase housing supply and reduce displacement by permitting housing in commercial zones.”

General Plan Housing Element Policy #2.6 states that “the City shall streamline entitlement and permitting process to reduce the cost of new housing and to accelerate housing production.”

General Plan Housing Element Goal #3 is to “ensure fair and equal housing opportunity.”

General Plan Housing Element Policy #3.1 states that “through Inclusionary Housing requirements and Density Bonus incentive, the City will facilitate development of affordable housing within high resources areas”.

The proposed project conforms to the City of Montebello General Plan Land Use and Housing Elements in that the proposed development will allow for the more reasonable development of the lots on which the project is proposed, provide additional housing opportunities, including affordable housing, and add to the variety of housing types available in the City. General Plan Land Use Element Residential Policy #4 explicitly states that the existing medium density residential area in the central portion of the City should be retained. Given that the project site is designated for medium density residential uses but has been utilized for low density residential uses provides further justification for why the higher density proposed should be allowed at the site. The additional density at the site is also compatible with the adjacent commercial areas in that the higher number of residents in the vicinity can positively impact the local businesses in the downtown area by generating more foot traffic. While the subject site is currently zoned as a commercial site under the City’s Commercial Restricted (C-R) zone, the application of the Housing Opportunity Overlay Zone would allow for housing to be proposed at the site which is in line with the intent of permitting housing in commercial zones found within General Plan Housing Element Policy #2.4. The addition of both market rate and affordable housing provided by the project will positively impact housing outcomes in the area by increasing the housing opportunities available to the local community. Additionally, the increase of affordable housing at the project site is consistent with General Plan Housing Element Policy #3.1 in that the project is situated near the downtown area, a higher resourced area which should positively benefit the residents of this development. Allowing the project to move forward as proposed is also consistent with Housing Element Policy #2.6 which states that the City shall accelerate housing production.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the proposed Zone Change (Case No. PC-2022-0003-ZC-SPR-TPM), Development Agreement, and Density Bonus Agreement before the City Council today are not considered a project per the CEQA definition of a project since the activity is statutorily exempt per CEQA Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption). CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. No physical changes will occur as a result of the proposed Zone Change, Development Agreement, and Density Bonus Agreement. The Planning Commission determined that the related Site Plan Review and Tentative Parcel Map for the construction of sixteen (16) units is Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section §15332 (In-Fill Development Projects).

Here, the City Council is specifically being asked to determine and find that the ZC, Development Agreement, and Density Bonus Agreement are also exempt.

ANALYSIS:

N/A

SUMMARY:

Staff is requesting the City Council waive the second reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 2464 upholding the Planning Commission’s recommendation to approve Zone Change Case No. PC-2022-0003-ZC-SPR-TPM as well as the related Development Agreement (No. 01-22) and Density Bonus Agreement between the City of Montebello and San Giorgio, LLC to amend the zoning designation of the project site from C-R (Commercial Restricted) to C-R-HOO (Commercial Restricted with the Housing Opportunity Overlay).

Approval of the Zone Change allows the related Site Plan Review approved by the Planning Commission to move forward. Additionally, staff is requesting the City Council find and determine the ZC, Development Agreement, and Density Bonus Agreement to be statutorily exempt from the CEQA under section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) considering that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 21067 of the Public Resources Code, and Section 15367 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 14, § 15000 et seq.), the City of Montebello is the lead agency for the proposed Project; and

Page 45 of 399 ends

ORDINANCE NO. 2464

Page 3 of 6 ends

WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

NOW THEREFORE , the City Council of the City of Montebello hereby finds, declares and resolves as follows:

SECTION 1 . RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated as substantive findings in this Ordinance.

SECTION 2. F INDINGS.

A. Pursuant to Chapter 17.76 (Zone Changes and Amendments) of the MMC, the application for a zone change shall be made on a form provided by the City.

The City’s application for zone changes requires the applicant to thoroughly respond to the following items, which are hereby incorporated as substantial findings of the City Council:

1. Describe how the proposed Zone Change is consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan;

The zone change is consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan in that the General Plan seeks to propose and implement practices which are responsive to the needs of the community. The proposed Zone Change will facilitate the development of housing in the project area which should assist in meeting the housing needs of the Montebello community. The General Plan Land Use and Housing Element analysis provided in the staff report further demonstrates how the proposed zone change is consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan. Additionally, the site is physically suitable for the proposed zone change and the increased density should not pose any significant issues for the surrounding parcels considering that the Project Site is primarily surrounded by multiple family residences in the area. The proposed zone change is not likely to cause any substantial environmental damage and is not likely to cause any serious public health problems. Additionally, the proposed zone change will not conflict with any easements.

2. Detail why the proposed Zone Change is necessary;

The Zone Change is necessary because the proposed project is not achievable under the current Commercial Restricted (C -R) zoning designation of the property. Based on Chapter 17.24 of the MMC, the purpose of the C -R zone is to provide areas for professional offices and related uses close to residential areas,

Page 46 of 399 ends

ORDINANCE NO. 2464

Page 4 of 6 ends

but residential units are typically not allowed in this zoning des ignation. By applying the Housing Opportunity Overlay Zone to the property, greater flexibility will be provided to the developer of the project site and the residential units proposed will not contradict the intended use of the zone. Additionally, it is anticipated that the development of housing in this vicinity will stimulate economic development and promote the public good by providing housing for a range of income levels.

3. Describe how the proposed Zone Change will not create problems harmful to the public health, safety, and general welfare;

The parcels existing at the project site are currently occupied by multiple residential buildings. While the density of the development at the project site would increase if the Zone Change and the related entitlements are approved, it is not anticipated that the project will create problems harmful to the public health, safety, and general welfare. The proposed Zone Change and development can be beneficial to the public health, safety, and general welfare by creating a greater demand for resources in the area, bringing in construction and related jobs, as well as by providing a more abundant supply of housing for various income levels.

Additionally, there are a significant number of higher density properties in the vicinity which should limit the impact of the proposed development on the local community. The proposed Zone Change and development has been reviewed by various city departments including the fire department, building division, police department, as well as other departments and the feedback provided by the city’s departments will help to ensure that the project will not create problems harmful to the public health, safety, and general welfare.

SECTION 3. CEQA. The City Council hereby determines and finds that the project is statutorily exempt from CEQA under section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption) considering that this section stipulates that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. No physical changes will occur as a result of the proposed ZC , Development Agreement, and Density Bonus Agreement. It should be further noted that during the duly noticed Planning Commission public hearing, the Planning Commission also found the related Site Plan Review for the contemplated Project to be Categorically Exempt per Section §15332 (In- Fill Development Projects).

SECTION 4. G ENERAL PLAN LAND USE MAP AND ZONE MAP . City staff is hereby directed to amend the City’s official Zoning Map to change the zoning designation of the project site from C-R (Commercial Restricted) to C-R-HOO (Commercial Restricted with the Housing Opportunity Overlay) for the property located at 608, 612, and 616 Hart

Place.

SECTION 5. SEVERABILITY. If any action, subsection, line, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, either facially or as applied, by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance, and each and every individual section, subsection, line, sentence, clause, phrase, or word without regard to any such division.

SECTION 6. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after final approval by the City Council.

10. DEFAULT, REMEDIES AND TERMINATION.

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, the 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.

6. No Condominium Conversion. To the extent permitted by law, in the event that the Developer converts Project units 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.

7. 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, the Developer or the 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:

(ii) The total household Gross Income.

The Developer shall retain such certificates for not less than three (3) years, and upon the City’s request, shall provide copies of such certificates to City and make the originals available for the City inspection.

8. 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

Page 86 of 399 ends

33 occupancy req uirements. 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 the Developer, grant exceptions to the occupancy standards, but only to the extent such exceptions are consistent with Applicable Laws, and do not increase the City’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or diminish or impair the City’s rights and remedies under this Agreement.

9. 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 the City in a form reasonably satisfactory to the City, together with Developer’s certification that the Affordable Units are in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.

Upon the written request of the City and not less than four (4) business days’ prior written notice, and at no expense to the Developer, the Developer shall allow the City’s Authorized Representative to inspect and copy all records documenting the source of household income.

10. Non-Discrimination; Compliance with Fair Housing Laws.

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, the 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 qualifi ed 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 provisio ns apply to the project due to Affordable Unit financing sources.

b. Fair Housing. The 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.

11. Non-Discrimination. The 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.

T o satisfy this requirement, the subordination agreement must provide the City with adequate rights to cure any defaults by the Developer, including: (i) providing the City or its successor with copies of any notices of default in the same manner as provided to the 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.

LOW INCOME RENT CALCULATION

The maximum monthly rent for each of the ______ (____) affordable units is calculated in accordance with Sections 50052.5 and 50053 of the Health and Safety Code. The Area Median Income used to calculate rents are contained in the State Income Limits Memorandum published by the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

STEP 1. Identify Area Median Income for Los Angeles County, adjusted for family size.1 Example: $64,800 (based on State Income Limits for 2017)

STEP 2. Calculate the product of 30% times 60% of the Area Median Income.

Example: 64,800 x 50% = 38,880
38,880 x 30% = 11,664

STEP 3. Divide product by 12 months.

Example: 11,664 / 12 = 972

STEP 4. Subtract Utility Allowance, as published in Los Angeles County Housing Authority utility schedules.

Example: 972 – 60 = $912 maximum monthly rent

SECTION 1 . RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated as substantive findings in this Resolution.

SECTION 2. FINDINGS.

A. Site Plan Review. Based on the substantial evidence presented to and considered by the Planning Commission at the public hearing on the Application, the Planning Commission makes the following findings pursuant to Chapter 17.74 of the Montebello Municipal Code:

1. That the proposed design for improvement complies with all requirements of the Montebello Municipal Code;

The proposed design for the project has been reviewed by the Planning Department and other department staff and the design has been determined to be consistent with all requirements of the MMC. The project site is currently zoned under the City of Montebello’s C-R (Commercial Restricted) zone, but if the Zone Change is approved, the project site would be zoned C-R-HOO (Commercial Restricted with a Housing Opportunity Overlay Zone). The proposed design is consistent with the requirements of the Housing Opportunity Overlay zone and the standards applicable to the R -4 zone except for the standards which the applicant specifically requested deviation from under California’s

Page 122 of 399 ends

RESOLUTION NO. 04-23 JUNE 20, 2023
CASE NOS. PC-2022-0003-ZC-SPR-TPM /ENV NO. 13-22-CE PAGE 3 OF 13

State Density Bonus law. The proposed design for improvement will also comply with all requirements of the MMC related to subdivisions and zone changes. Additionally, the project proposal must still go through the Building Department, Fire Department, and Planning Department plan check process after being entitled which will provide an additional opportunity for the City’s departments to ensure that the proposed design is consistent with all requirements of the MMC.

2. That th e proposed design for improvement is consistent with the City’s General Plan; and

The proposed design for improvement is consistent with the goals and policies outlined within the City’s General Plan. General Plan Land Use Element Goal #1 states that it is a goal of the City “to formulate a plan which is responsive to the needs of the community, and which permits the orderly arrangement of land uses, permitting sufficient areas for reasonable development.” Additionally, General Plan Housing Element Goal #2 is to “increase housing production to improve affordability for the City’s current and future residents.” Both goals relate to the project proposed at the Project Site in that the housing development is proposed in a reasonable area and the additional housing provided by the development will be beneficial to the housing needs of the community by increasing the supply of housing in the area. Continuing to increase the supply of housing in the City of Montebello can improve affordability for current and future residents by providing residents with more opportunities for quality housing over the long run. Alongside being consistent with these two goals, the proposed design for improvement is also consistent with General Plan Land Use Element Residential Policy #3 as well as with Gener al Plan Housing Element Policies #2.4 and #3.1. These policies relate to the City providing opportunities for a variety of living needs, to the City increasing housing supply by permitting housing in commercial zones, and to the City facilitating the development of affordable housing within high resources areas. Overall, the proposed design for this project proposal will assist the City in meeting its housing goals and policies outlined within the Housing Element and the General Plan.

3. That the proposed de sign for improvement will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties or on the general public welfare.

The proposed design for improvement will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties or on the general public welfare. The site can be adequately served by existing public services and all required utilities. The project is proposed in an area where there are a significant number of properties designated for higher density residential uses in the vicinity. The proposed Zone Change and development can be beneficial to the public health, safety, and general welfare by creating a greater demand for resources in the area, bringing in construction and related jobs, as well as by providing a more abundant supply of housing.

B. Tentative Parcel Map . Pursuant to Section 16.20.080 of the City of Montebello Municipal Code and Section 66410 et seq. of the California Government Code (Subdivision Map Act), the following findings are hereby adopted as the findings of the Planning Commission:

1. Describe how the proposed map is consistent with the applicable general plan and specific plans as specified in California Government Code Section 65451

The proposed map will merge three (3) parcels into one (1) parcel so that a sixteen (16) unit multi-family housing development can be constructed. The general plan land use designation of the parcels included in this consolidation is Medium -Density Residential. The residential development is also consistent with the surrounding residential land uses to the north, east and west considering that there are a significant number of parcels zoned and designated for multifamily development in the vicinity.

Considering that the underlying zone of the Project Site is a commercial zone, permitting housing in this area and approving the proposed map to facilitate the development of the proposed housing units is consistent with the objective found within the housing element of permitting housing in commercial zones to increase housing supply and reduce displacement. Overall, the proposed subdivision aligns with the goals, objectives, and policies of the City of Montebello’s General Plan and Zoning regulations.

2. Describe how the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the applicable general and specific plans
The proposed parcel map and the proposed improvements at the project site are consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan in that the approval of the project would lead to increased housing opportunities in an area of the city that is relatively better resourced than other portions of the city. Situating denser housing development in the vicinity of this project adjacent to the downtown core of the city is in line with the goals and policies outlined within the Housing Element. Additionally, the General Plan Land Use Element states that “the existing medium density residential area characterized by mixed housing types in the central portion of Montebello should be retained”. The approval of th is project would allow for a better mix of housing types to be available in the central portion of the city. The proposed subdivision also helps the city meet its Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) unit goals for the 6th RHNA cycle.

3. Describe how the site is physically suitable for the type of development The site is physically suitable for the type of development proposed because it is located adjacent to the Downtown area which is identified as an area suited to accommodate denser ho using. The proximity of the site to the Downtown area ensures that the project will have access to nearby amenities such as local transit,

Page 124 of 399 ends

RESOLUTION NO. 04-23 JUNE 20, 2023
CASE NOS. PC-2022-0003-ZC-SPR-TPM /ENV NO. 13-22-CE PAGE 5 OF 13

schools, hospitals, and other amenities which should improve the quality of life of the residents which ultimately reside at the project site. Access to the site is also already established and the site can be served adequately by all required utilities and public services.

4. Describe how the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development
The sit e is physically suitable for the proposed density because it is near the Downtown area and this area is outlined as part of the City that can accommodate more density of housing within the Housing Element of the General Plan. The site is near a variety of transportation modes, commercial uses, schools, and parks. The high number of amenities available in the area will ensure that the high proposed density of the development will be successfully integrated into the community. The proposed development is also situated adjacent to other multifamily residential areas which should also assist in the successful integration of the proposed density into the vicinity.

5. Describe how the design of the subdivision or proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife and their habitat;

The proposed development and the design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage due to its location as an infill site su rrounded by already built and established uses, including both residential and commercial uses.

Additionally, since the parcels which comprise the subdivision are already developed with residential uses, the site has no value as a habitat for endangered, r are or threatened species because no native or natural habitats are found within the project site or on adjacent parcels.

6. Describe how the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvement is not likely to cause serious public health problems;
The pr oposed improvement is not likely to cause serious public health problems considering that the project has been reviewed by City staff to ensure that the design and development of the project are consistent with the City’s Fire Department regulations, Build ing and Safety regulations, Planning regulations, and other regulations which are intended to limit the adverse impact of any proposed development. It is not anticipated that the project will have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, to impact adverse biology and cultural resources, or to cause any other environmental issues. Additionally, the provision of high -quality housing and the additional units that can be built under the proposed subdivision and development can positively benefit public health outcomes. Housing is one of the main determining factors of public health outcomes. The design of the subdivision

Page 125 of 399 ends

RESOLUTION NO. 04-23 JUNE 20, 2023
CASE NOS. PC-2022-0003-ZC-SPR-TPM /ENV NO. 13-22-CE PAGE 6 OF 13

would allow for a greater number of housing opportunities to exist in the Montebello area which can ultimately lead to improved health outcomes for the individuals which ultimately reside in the units that would be made possible by the proposed subdivision and related development.

7. Describe how the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easeme nts, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision
There are no easements currently on the property and so the design of the subdivision will not conflict with any access for either the public at la rge or any other entity.

Additionally, the final subdivision map will need to be signed off by the Public Works – Engineering Department during the plan check process which will ensure that there are no access issues posed by the development.

8. Describe how the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system would not add to or result in violation of existing water quality control standards.

While the proposed development will lead to an increase of the discharge of waste to the existing sewer system, it is not anticipated that this increase will result in the violation of existing water quality control standards. The applicant will coordinate with the applicable water provider to determine the water sewer needs gener ated by the proposed development and will adhere to any water quality control standards stipulated by the local water agency.

SECTION 3. CEQA. The Planning Commission hereby determines and finds that the Site Plan Review is exempt from CEQA under Categorical Exemption §15332 (In-Fill Development Projects) Class 32 exemption considering that none of the exceptions found under CEQA Section §15300.2 apply and considering that the project meets all of the following conditions:
(a) The project is consisten t with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations. (b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.
(c) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species. (d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.
(e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

RESOLUTION NO. 04-23 JUNE 20, 2023
CASE NOS. PC-2022-0003-ZC-SPR-TPM /ENV NO. 13-22-CE PAGE 7 OF 13

The proposed project meets all of the conditions required to be classified as a Class 32 CEQA exemption. After the change of zone and general plan amendment, the project will be consistent with the applicable general plan and zoning designations, policies and regulations. The proposed development occurs within city limits on a site of . 44 acres surrounded by already developed urban/residential uses. The proposed project has been verified to present no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species and significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality are not anticipated. Additionally, the site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
