B. Productive
Walkable urban environment produces more wealth (net revenue per acre from land) than auto-oriented development and is more fiscally resilient.
1) Encourage Mixed-Use Development
While keeping the existing character of the downtown, encourage the addition of higher density residential development (single or mixed use) that will add to the vitality of the Downtown Specific Plan area. Housing development should be done in an intentional way, that doesn’t displace current businesses, on select sites that will increase the overall activity of the area.

P3.3 Promote higher levels of foot traffic with activities and events.

A3.3a Encourage property owners to collaborate on new
“pop-up” events to make use of vacant storefronts or
parcels and to generate greater interest in Downtown as a unique retail destination. SE R Pop-up events will bring more activity in the area
while demonstrating the viability of the area for additional retail and businesses. The strategy should include food trucks and seasonal festivals or other temporary
uses in vacant spaces such as temporary art exhibitions or eating and drinking experiences.

A3.3b Create a coordinated calendar of events for different organizations to allow for combined marketing of
events. SE R
Greater coordination in marketing of existing events
will allow for more consistent messaging, while
strengthening the brand of Downtown Montebello.

Greater coordination could also foster more collaboration between event organizers and local businesses. For example, to complement already scheduled movie or
concert nights at Montebello City Park, businesses could offer extended hours or pre-event specials, which could potentially boost attendance and attract a wider audience, setting the area apart as a singularly compelling destination in the region.

P3.4 Encourage mixed-use infill and compact
development.

Vacant or underutilized sites that currently detract from the Downtown’s pedestrian environment by breaking
with retail frontages and provide no or little street
activation, and do not fully capitalize on the City’s
fiscal opportunity.

Introduce new infill buildings and renovate existing
buildings in a manner that preserves and enhances
Downtown’s walkable urbanism of interconnected
streets lined by buildings that engage, frame, and
activate the street. The infill building design should
respect the existing small and fine-grain context and
enrich the public realm.

A3.4a Engage the development community and property
owners to promote infill development on underutilized sites that increase the productive value per acre in the Downtown area. R
A3.4b Ensure that new infill development is not a fiscal burden to the City. R
A3.4c Remove regulatory and procedural barriers to
fiscally productive land uses and good design. R
A3.4d Amend development standards to allow more
intensive uses while being respectful to the contextual setting. R A3.4e Support and facilitate reinvestment through
streamlined regulatory processes. R
A3.4f Explore incentives such as unbundling parking
from housing costs to stimulate the production of
more housing units. SE R
A3.4g Encourage diversity in housing sizes and types to cater to diverse income groups. SE R

C. Resilient
1) Property-based Business Improvement District (PBID)
PBIDs are a self-imposed, self-governed financing mechanism used to provide revenue for improvements and activities, such as safety, maintenance, economic vitality and image enhancements, that are in addition to those provided by local government. Local business investments via a self-imposed tax can help ensure their role in the downtown vision and commitment to future improvements. The enhanced services provided by the PBID, relate directly to the priorities identified by Downtown stakeholders and will enhance the Downtown experience for property owners, businesses, residents, employees, and visitors.

P3.5 Gauge participation in a Property-based Business
Improvement District (PBID) to provide
high-quality district services.

Local investment in minor and major District
improvements, via the establishment of a Business
Improvement District, can go a long way in supporting
public funding and initiatives in the area. However,
to assure support for such a self-imposed tax, local
landowners must have an active role in its visioning
and be committed to making the investment work.

A3.5a Build a coalition of Downtown property owners to
coordinate with the Downtown vision. R
Without first rallying a set of landowning stakeholders behind a unified vision for the district, a PBID is not likely to succeed.

A3.5b Establish the Property-based Business
Improvement District (PBID) for Downtown. R
P3.6 Explore un-tapped opportunities for value capture
and revenue generation.

A3.6a Use developer agreements to support the
Downtown’s public realm improvement goals. R
New development projects in the Downtown Area
should be leveraged to further public realm improvement goals through the use of developer agreements.

Such agreements provide certainty to the developer that development standard will remain fixed for a particular site, while contracting the developer to provide benefits to the City, such as infrastructure improvements, public open space, or other public realm improvements.

A3.6b Fortify the City’s existing Development Impact Fee regime. R
To most effectively leverage the positive impact of new development, the City must develop a rational nexus
between desired public realm improvements and the
scale of development that City will allow. Given the
relatively high performance of real estate in the City, the City should consider significantly increasing the fees levied on new development.

54 Downtown Montebello Specific Plan

4.0 INTRODUCTION
D Code
The Code will facilitate orderly implementation of the
Downtown Vision.

Downtown Montebello provides a range of living,
working, and recreational options to suit diverse
needs. The form and character of the different human
habitats is conceived as a geography of diverse place
types such as districts, neighborhoods, and corridors.

The Downtown is built out with commercial and
residential areas. Some of the vacant and underutilized sites in the Downtown area offers the greatest potential for preserving commercial development and
attracting new growth.

Community preferences and directions throughout
the visioning process guide the coding of the built
environment — from a broad, citywide scale, to a
detailed scale of individual downtown neighborhoods,
blocks, buildings and physical character, consistent
with the history and desired future of the place.

Many of the downtown improvements will be
carried out by the private sector. Providing clear and
precise standards promotes objectivity and allows for a streamlined development review process.

This section outlines a number of plans, regulations,
processes, and incentives that will be applied in implementing the Downtown Montebello Specific Plan. 5 min. walk

Part D: Code 55

The Downtown Montebello Code is
a form-based code (FBC). FBCs are
an alternative to conventional zoning
regulations. FBCs are purposeful placebased regulations with an increased focus on the design of the public realm: the
public space defined by the exterior of
buildings and the surrounding streets and
open space.

FBCs are used to protect and preserve
stable areas from incompatible development and to attract appropriate (re) development to transform areas at risk.

This FBC reinforces the historical form
patterns with the use of streets, frontages,
buildings, and open spaces that are appropriate for Downtown Montebello context.

A key difference between conventional
use-based and FBCs is that FBCs do not
determine entitlements through FAR
or floor units per acre. The conventional
density controls have failed to produce diversity in living and working arrangements in a contextual manner. Overly restrictive
use and density regulations are common
barriers to small-scale development.

The focus of this code is on the few but
critically important urban standards that
shape the public realm. These include
design of streets and open spaces, setback,
building height, building frontage at street
level, parking, and access.

The properties in Downtown Montebello are build-out. The vision for Downtown Montebello calls for incremental and
contextual infill development.

The regulations in this code focus on
creating a unifying public realm and is
intended to be lean and less regulatory
on the private side. The Downtown
Montebello area is distinctively different
than neighboring downtown or residential
areas. The area will develop incrementally
and more organically.

This code intentionally encourages improvisation and innovative infill development that creates a rhythmic patterns of existing and new buildings unified by a
distinctive, vibrant, and walkable public
realm.

Form-Based Code
Figure D.2: The standards are carefully calibrated for varying context offering a rich public realm and a variety of living and working environments. 56 Downtown Montebello Specific Plan

4.1 PURPOSE AND APPLICATION

4.1A Purpose

1.1A Intent
The Development Code implements the Downtown Montebello Specific Plan’s Vision, Goals and Policies. This Development Code is intended to facilitate the continuing evolution of the Plan Area into a place where:

1. A mixture of land uses including shops, workplaces, and residences are within walking distance of one another and produce an urban form that is inviting, comfortable, safe, and ecologically resilient;

2. Streets and open spaces promote vibrant, safe, healthy, and prosperous place; and

3. New infill and remodeled buildings work together with existing buildings to define the pedestrian-oriented space of the public streets within the Specific Plan area, and are harmonious with each other and the desired character of the Specific Plan area.

1.1.B Relationship to the Montebello General Plan
The Downtown Montebello Specific Plan Code is consistent with the Montebello General Plan currently in effect, as required by Government Code 65000, et seq., California Statute.

b. Promote maintenance, reuse, and rehabilitation of existing buildings. c. Place reasonable limits on nonconformities
that have the potential to adversely affect
adjacent properties.
2 Non-conforming Lots: Lots which are non-conforming as to lot area or lot width may be adjusted or subdivided provided the resulting
re-configuration brings the non-conforming lot
into, or closer to conformity with the requirements of current applicable regulations. 3 Non-conforming Use: Non-conforming uses are
those that were legally established but that are
not currently listed as permitted or conditionally
permitted in the zoning district in which they are
located or those that currently require a conditional use permit but at the time of their initiation did not require a conditional use permit. The
following provisions shall apply to legal Non-conforming uses:
a. No Non-conforming use shall be expanded
or moved in whole or part to any portion of
the lot or parcel upon which it is located or
other structure other than that occupied by
such use at the time it was established.
b. No Non-conforming use shall be changed
to a different Non-conforming use.
c. If a Non-conforming use is discontinued or
abandoned for a continuous period of 180
days or more, such use shall be deemed to
have lost its Non-conforming status and
shall not be reestablished.

Part D: Code 59

4 Non-conforming Structures:
a. Additions: A Non-conforming building or other structure may be added to, provided that an addition of 50% or more of the floor area existing as of the adoption of this Downtown Code shall trigger compliance with all Downtown Code provisions for the portion of the building or structure comprising the addition. b. Repairs and Maintenance: General non-structural repairs and normal maintenance necessary to keep a nonconformity in sound condition are permitted.

4.2 Zones and Regulating Plan

4.2A Zoning Districts and Overlays

4.2A.1 Purpose and Establishment of Zoning Districts and Overlays
This section establishes the zoning districts and
overlays to implement the Downtown Montebello
Specific Plan for property and rights-of-way within
the Downtown Code boundaries. Property and
rights-of-way subject to the Downtown Code shall
be divided into the following zones and overlays,
which shall be applied to all property as shown on
Figure D.4.

4.2A.2 Zoning Districts and Overlays
The Downtown Code is consistent with the Montebello General Plan currently in effect, as required by Government Code 65000, et seq., California Statute.

The Downtown Code implements the General Plan’s
community supported goal to direct majority of
the new infill growth to downtown in a contextual
manner.

4.2B Regulating Plan

4.2B.1 Purpose and Establishment of Regulating Plan
This section establishes the regulating plan, Figure
D.4, as the map that identifies and implements the
various intentions and principles of the Downtown
Plan. Table D.1 defines the zoning districts, overlays
and standards for site development, design and land
use through the following:
a Zoning Districts: Each zoning district is
allocated standards in the following areas:
• Building Placement
• Allowed Development Standards
• Allowed Frontage Types
• Building Height and Size
• Allowed Encroachments into Required
Yards
• Parking Placement and Site Access
• Required Parking
• Allowed Land Uses
b Shopfront Frontage Overlay: This overlay
requires buildings to have shopfront frontage
and a minimum floor-to-ceiling height. This
requirement is to accommodate ground floor livework, commercial, retail or other such non-residential activity on streets where the vision expects active, pedestrian-oriented streetscapes.
c Spatial Enclosure Frontage: Spatial enclosure is
the three dimensional alignment of facades with
one another in a coherent manner so as to define
the public realm and create a sense of place. The
spatial enclosure also projects the unique geometry of the streets and traffic flow vertically around the uniquely shaped parcels thereby promoting
safe driving. This overlay requires the frontages
of the parcels to be lined with building facades to
shape and enclose the streets or open spaces.
d Regulating Plan Diagram: Each zoning district
and overlay established by the Downtown Code is
identified on Figure D.4 to show the boundaries
of each zoning districts, overlay, and the parcels
within each boundary. Figure D.4 is established
as the zoning atlas for all property within the
Downtown Code boundaries.

Table D.1: Zoning District Characteristics.
64 Downtown Montebello Specific Plan

4.3 Public Realm Step 1: Existing Site
Sites that are 4 acres or larger
in size or existing blocks with
700 feet of frontage on any side
shall be subdivided further to
create additional blocks per the
requirements of Table 4.2.

Step 2: Introduce Streets
Sites being subdivided into
additional blocks shall introduce
streets as allowed in the applicable
zoning district(s) and comply
with the applicable block-size
requirements of Table 4.2.

Step 3: Introduce Alleys
Access to new blocks and their
individual lots is allowed primar-
ily by alley or, side street, with a
certain portion of lots allowed
to access the lot via the primary
street. The intent of limiting
access to the rear or side of lots is
to maintain the continuity of the
streetscape without interruptions
such as driveway access.

Step 4: Introduce Lots
Lots are introduced on each block
to correspond with the selected
building type(s) allowed by each
zoning district.

Step 5: Introduce Projects
Each lot is to receive no more
than one main building. The main
building is then designed per the
requirements of the applicable
zoning district along with the
allowed frontages and arranged to
suit the particular organization of
buildings desired for the block.

4.3A Blocks

4.3A.1 Purpose
The design of blocks influence the type of street net-
work, building types, and the quality of urban space.

Smaller blocks produce more intersections, therefore
more human scale buildings, greater public realm
and superior street network system. All blocks shall
be designed per the applicable requirements identi-
fied in Table D.2 to ensure that new and modified
blocks result in walkable, interconnected streetscapes
aligned by appropriately scaled buildings.

4.3A.2 Applicability
The standards shall apply to all new or modified
blocks in the Downtown area.

4.3A.3 Streetscape Standards a New or modified blocks shall front a street (public or private).
b New or modified blocks shall be subdivided to
generate individual lots for buildings or open
space as required by the applicable zoning
district(s) and overlay(s) and in compliance with
Section 4.4 Development Standards.
c New or modified blocks may be designed in a
variety of shapes. Individual block faces and the
total block perimeter shall follow the standards
established in the Table D.2 below.

4.3B Streets

4.3B.1 Intent
The key to transforming the Downtown into walkable
area is the introduction of an interconnected street
network with streets that are sized appropriately for
intended volume and safe traffic speeds. The principal
characteristics and strategies of this kind of network
are:
a. Interconnected streets that serve all modes of
travel, including walking, biking, taking transit, or
driving.
b. A diversity of context based street types, each
designed according to the adjacent building
intensities and uses and each with its own unique
character.
c. Streets that accommodate two-way traffic, facilitating navigation and safe traffic speeds, while eliminating traffic-related fatalities.
d. On-street parking that provides convenient
parking in front of businesses and residences,
reduces the amount of required off-street parking,
provides a barrier between vehicles in the travel
lane and pedestrians on sidewalks, and provide a
presence on the street that helps calm vehicular
speeds.
e. Approrpiate lane widths, tight curb radii, and
narrow street crossings that calm traffic and
provide a more comfortable and safe environment
for pedestrians, cyclists, and automobiles.
f. Ample sidewalks, crosswalks, street trees, and
generous streetscapes that provide shady, comfortable, and inviting places for pedestrians to walk, while defining the Montebello Downtown’s
unique and memorable sense of place.
g. Streets that result in a reduced quantity and
improved quality of stormwater runoff, and a
diminished heat island effect.
h. Energy-efficient, pedestrian-oriented lighting
that generates an inviting and safe environment
for pedestrians, cyclists, and commerce.

4.3B.2 Applicability
a. The standards in this section apply to all new
streets and to the substantial improvement of an
entire block length of an existing street, subject
to the review and approval of Public Works
Director.
b. Figure D.5 shows the proposed street and block
network applied to the entire Plan Area. Additionally, Figure D.10 shows specific landscape characteristics for each street, differentiating it
from other streets within the Plan Area, and
contributing to the richness of the Downtown
area’s sense of place.

4.3C Street Trees

4.3C.1 Intent
The intent of Street Trees is to provide a comfortable, rich pedestrian experience with shade, planted edges in the public right of way, and increase environmental performance with low impact development strategies that absorb and clean urban runoff.

The Street Tree Master Plan (see Figure D.10) locates specific tree species amongst the public realm's street network, open spaces, and greenways. Tree species are chosen for each type of thoroughfare and open spaces to support its unique aesthetic character, spatial quality, and environmental value. Tree selection considerations included the tree's shape, color, seasonal change, scent, size at maturity, drought tolerance, and resilience.

The numerous qualitative benefits from selecting a diverse street tree palette include shade for pedestrians walking along the sidewalk, a visual rhythm to reduce driving speeds along vehicular streets, and overall balance of the built environment. A street tree's environmental benefits include cooling the immediate area, local air quality improvement through carbon sequestration, and stormwater management which contribute toward pedestrian friendly urban character of Downtown Montebello.

The street tree species shown in Figure D.10 (Street Tree Master Plan) are conceptual and may be adjusted subject to Public Works Director and/or Planning and Community
Development Director approval.

4.3D Parks and Open Space

4.3D.1 Intent
This section establishes a range of open spaces specified based on location and characteristics such as size, landscaping, access, and frontage conditions needed to implement the intended form and character for Downtown.

The Downtown Specific Plan vision seeks to establish a seamless weave of public and private open spaces at the regional, neighborhood, block, lot, and building level. The Development Standards include private open space requirements for different building types.

The intent of this section is to:
a. To improve quality of life, instill civic pride, and sense of community. b. Provide places for diverse people to meet and interact thereby increasing social capital of the neighborhood.
c. Increase property values and helps attract and retain knowledge workers and businesses.
d. Provide venues for many arts and cultural programs which also promotes tourism.
e. Through informal play and shared experiences with peers, open spaces inspire children to explore, discover, learn and become better stewards of the about natural environment.
f. Promote walking, biking, and other physical activities essential for fitness and well being and to reduce diabetes, and heart and mental illness.
g. Reduces the urban heat island effect. Trees in parks and open spaces sequester carbon and other pollutants from the area.

4.3D.2 Applicability
The standards shall apply to all new or modified blocks in the Downtown area. Additional Public Open Spaces can be integrated into this section as they are approved by the City.

Part D: Code 75

I Rio Hondo Channel Greenway
a Description
The Greenway is a linear open space intended to provide extensive opportunities for recreation. The Greenway corridor would connect many neighborhoods, existing parks, schools, and other regional parks and open spaces along the Rio Hondo Channel.

It would also connect the wildlife habitat and reducing the heat island effect.
b Standards
i Size: The greenway would be variable width and span the entire city. The greenway is part of a regional trail network. ii Design:
a) The landscape along the greenway shall consist of
unobstructed lawns, planting beds, naturalistically
arranged trees. Hardscape is minimal in the form of
access pathway and peripheral connections.
b) Pedestrian amenities such as benches, picnic tables, drinking fountains, excercise equipment, bike racks and playground equipment may be located at appropriate
intervals along the greenway.
76 Downtown Montebello Specific Plan

II Central Plaza
a Description
Plaza is an urban public space that serves as a public gathering place or a place for celebratory events.
b Standards
i Size: 0.25 acre to 0.5 acre
ii Design:
a) Plazas are highly visible located at the intersection of important streets and enclosed by active building
frontages.
b) Plazas are hardscape with little or no vegetation,
usually requiring minimal maintenance.
c) Amenities may include pergolas, flexible gathering and event spaces, benches, chairs, tables (movable recommended), bike racks, and public art. d) Infrastructure for special events, including water,
power, and data, should be designed into the layout of
select plazas.

Part D: Code 77

IV Rio Hondo Connector Park
a Description
This park connects the Downtown area to the Rio Hondo
Channel. The connecter park space reinforces the daily commuter entry arrival into Montebello from the east.
b Standards
i Size: Variable linear space.
ii Location: Located adjacent to the Whittier Blvd Bridge crossing of the Rio Hondo this connecting space brings
accessibility of the downtown to the river amenity.
iii Design:
a) Gentle curving ramps and stairs meander thru the
space that is envisioned to have community works of
art accenting the river walk connector experience.
b) Bridge abutments are cladded with bas relief art works and sculptures and other environmental art elements
are dotted along the walk.
c) California Sycamore trees meander through the lush
native riparian plantings of the connector walk and
ramps.
d) The space is secured at night with decorative functional art fences and gates and well-lit spaces.
78 Downtown Montebello Specific Plan

IV Pocket Park
a Description
Pocket parks are urban open spaces on a small-scale and provide a safe and inviting environment for surrounding community members. They also meet a variety of needs and functions, including: small event space, play areas for children, spaces for relaxing or meeting friends, taking lunch breaks, etc. b Standards
i Size: Up to 0.25 acre
ii Design:
a) The parks shall be accessible by both foot and bike. b) Pocket parks shall strive to accommodate as many
different users as possible, prioritizing the needs
of surrounding neighborhoods. Pocket parks may
include seating, play or fitness equipment, open lawn
space, dog runs, community gardens, ecological/educational displays, and community bulletin boards. c) Pocket parks may be designed to serve as stormwater
retention and infiltration areas.

V Parklet
a Description
A parklet is a sidewalk extension into parking spaces that provides more space and amenities for people using the street. b Standards
i Size: Variable linear space that includes one or more onstreet parking spaces. ii Location: Parklets must be located at least one parking space away from an intersection or street corner.
iii Design:
a) Parklets are permitted on streets with speed limits of 25 mph or less.
b) Parklets must include a platform/deck that is flush
with the sidewalk, unless the parklet is designed to be terraced. Parklets must end at the sidewalk and parklet furniture, heaters, and landscaping may not spill onto
sidewalk.
c) Stable and sturdy traffic barriers must be installed on all three sides open to the roadway traffic. The
barrier must have a minimum height of 36 inches and
maximum height of 42 inches.
d) To allow for water flow, parklets must provide a
drainage channel that is a minimum of 3 inches tall
and 2 feet wide, along the entire length of the parklet, adjacent to the curb.
e) Parklets design and construction will be subject to
Public Works approval. The design must be flexible to
allow for any roadway or utility maintenance. Public
Works has the right to close a parklet from use to
perform maintenance work on adjacent infrastructure.

Part D: Code 79

VII Private Open Spaces
a Lot Level
Each building type shall prescribe private open space. For example the open space for single dwelling is provided in yards, courtyard buildings includes courts, and flex buildings and tower may provide terraces.
b Within the building
In urban areas where private yard is not an option, balconies, patios, and roof garden allow residents access to open space, area for small-scale cultivation, recreation, and entertaining.

VI Paseos
a Description
Paseos are pedestrian-only pathways that make the block porous, and provide opportunities to create unique public spaces. b Standards
i Size: Variable linear space
ii Design:
a) Paseos create short cuts through long blocks, and may connect interior courtyards to street frontages.
b) Use native plants to provide new bird and insect
habitats, strengthening Montebello's urban ecosystems.

Edible paseo gardens can also be planted, incorporating herbs and vegetables. The simplest solutions are potted plant gardens and window boxes.
c) Well-lit paseos discourage crime, encourage pedestrians, and can introduce artful elements. Adding softer lights, creating spaces with lighting, and playing with lighting temperature can bring new life and atmosphere to an alley. d) Amenities may include pergolas, flexible gathering and event spaces, benches, chairs, tables (movable recommended), bike racks, and public art. e) Paseoes need to ensure emergency and maintenance
vehicle access as appropriate.

4.4 Development Standards

4.4A Purpose and Intent
This section establishes standards to ensure that development within the Downtown area promotes a safe, comfortable, and interesting walkable environment along the street by:
• Placing the buildings in the front and locating the parking behind the building;
• Providing access to adequate public and private parks and open space; and
• Providing contextual building scale and mass, and pedestrian access and visibility that establish a human scale to the street.

4.4B Applicability
All proposed buildings and related improvements shall be designed in compliance with the development standards of this Section for the applicable zone, except for public and institutional buildings, which because of their unique disposition and application are not required to comply with these requirements.

4.4C Average Building Height
Building within the Downtown Core, Main Street, and Downtown Edge zones may exceed the maximum allowed base building height by one story for up to 30% of the building footprint area provided an equal amount of building footprint area is one story shorter than the maximum allowed base building height (see Figure D.12).

4.5A Purpose and Intent
This Section establishes standards to ensure proposed
development promotes a walkable environment
along the street through the provision of street-facing windows, entries, and appropriately designed frontages; and commercial ground floors that support
pedestrian activity through maximum ground floor
transparency. Frontages consist of the street facade of the building(s), including any projecting elements, and any landscape, hardscape, walls, and fences between
the building facade and the back of sidewalk. They
provide a transition between the public environment
of the street and the semi-private and private environments of the building interior. They also signal the location of the building entrance and provide a
semi-public space within which neighbors and visitors
can interact.

4.5B Applicability
The requirements of this Section apply to all new
buildings within the Downtown area.

4.5C Frontage Types
This Section identifies the frontage types allowed
within the Downtown area, and for each type
provides a description and design standards to ensure
that proposed development is consistent with this
Specific Plan’s goals for building form, character, and quality. Frontage types are divided into two categories, Required (Porch, Stoop, Dooryard, Shopfront, Gallery, and Arcade) and Optional (Balcony, Bay
Window, Awning, Canopy). The provisions of this
Section work in combination with the underlying
Zone as identified on the Regulating Plan. Refer
to Sections 4.4D, 4.4E. and 4.4F for required and
optional frontage types within each zone and allowed
encroachments into the setback or right-of- way.

4.8 Other Development Standards

4.8A Parking Design

4.8A.1 Applicability
a Parking required. Every use, including change
or expansion of a use, or structure, shall have
appropriately maintained parking and loading
spaces or areas in compliance with the regulations identified in this section. b Number of parking spaces
i Off-Street Parking Spaces. Off-street
parking spaces shall be provided for each
land use per the below standards:
a) Residential: 1 space per unit (minimum).
b) Residential Guest: 1 space for every 4
units (minimum)
c) Lodging: 1 space per room (minimum).
d) Live/Work: 1 space per unit under
1500 s.f.; if unit is greater than 1500 sq.
ft.: 1 space for every 400 gross s.f.
e) Office, Retail, Civic: 1 space per 300
gross s.f. of building area.
f) Restaurants, Cafes, or similar: 1 space
per 200 gross s.f. of building area.
c On-Street Parking
i On-street parking located along the development’s frontage may be counted towards fulfilling the minimum number of spaces
for the commercial component within the
development up to twenty-five percent
(25%) of the minimum required number of
off-street parking spaces.
ii In no case shall on-street parking be used
for meeting minimum residential parking
requirements within a mixed-use development.
iii Where street parking spaces are counted
toward meeting required on-site parking
as allowed by this section, all such on street
spaces must remain available for common
use and not be exclusively assigned or
reserved to any individual use.

4.8A.2 Parking Reduction Requirements
a Shared Parking
Shared parking may be utilized as an effort to
promote an overall reduction in parking. The
amount of off-street parking required for a mixed
use development may be reduced up to fifteen
(15) percent as determined by the Planning
and Community Development Director and
approved by the Planning Commission when it
can be demonstrated through a Parking Demand
Study that sufficient parking is or can be met
by the subject uses through a shared parking
arrangement. Said study should explain the
parking demands of the land uses within the
development and how business practices or hours
of operation impact the demand for parking at
different times of the day.
b Waiver of Parking
Any project site where it can be demonstrated
that the land use thereon will not utilize the
required number of parking spaces due to the
nature of the specific land use, or the manner
in which the specific land use is conducted,
the number of parking spaces required may be
reduced pursuant to the following:
i Approval Required. A parking reduction
based upon low parking demand may be allowed upon the approval of a Low Demand Parking Reduction Agreement by the City.
ii Alternate Parking Plan. In approving a
parking reduction, the City may require
the preparation of an Alternate Off-Street
Parking Plan, which demonstrates that
additional parking spaces can be provided
on-site, as necessary, to accommodate future
land use changes or intensifications in land
use. Furthermore, a restrictive covenant that
runs with the land may be required by the
City, which restricts the use of the subject
property for the duration of the parking
reduction.

Part D: Code 107

iii Low Demand Parking Reduction Agreement. A Low Demand Parking Reduction Agreement by and between the City, the
applicant, and all other affected property
owners, shall be executed and recorded with
the County Recorder, which, at a minimum,
shall:
a) provide confirmation that the parking
supply proposed will be adequate
during periods of maximum demand,
b) confirm that the parking demand is
provided within a reasonable walking
distance to the use it serves, and
c) identify parking management strategies that are necessary to ensure the availability of the necessary number
of parking spaces for the duration of
the current use and future users of the
project site. The Low Demand Parking
Reduction Agreement shall be subject
to City Attorney review and approval
as to form and content.
iv Parking Analysis. The City may require
the applicant to submit a parking analysis,
prepared by a person/firm experienced in
preparing such analyses, to assist the City in
determining the appropriate reduction.

4.8A.3 Parking Design and Development Standards
Required parking areas shall be designed and
constructed as follows. The standards of this Section
may be modified by the review authority where it
determines that alternative parking designs and standards will more appropriately relate to the operating characteristics of the proposed development or new
land use, while being equally effective in providing
parking areas that are safe, convenient, use land
efficiently, and are aesthetically attractive.
a Access to Parking
i Within the Specific Plan area, no new
parking shall be placed between a building
and a street, except where allowed adjacent
to a side street in the residential zone.
ii Parking, including parking garages, shall be
accessed from an alley or secondary frontage
when possible. The opening of a parking lot
or garage on a frontage shall not exceed two
lanes in width.
b Tandem Parking. Tandem parking may be
allowed at the discretion of the City:
i Non-Residential Uses.
a) The use of tandem parking for non-residential uses shall require that the operator of the parking facility provide
a valet or attendant at all times that the
parking is accessible to users, except
where the City determines that the
nature of the use and its operation will
not require attended parking.
b) Tandem parking shall be a maximum
of two (2) parking spaces in depth.
c) Vehicle movements necessary to move
cars parked in a tandem configuration
shall not take place on any public street.

4.8B Solid Waste Standards

4.8B.1 Purpose
A successful solid waste collection and removal
strategy will include appropriate accommodations for
the collection, storage, access, and removal of solid
waste and recyclable materials from the project site.

Early planning to meet this requirement is essential
to avoid major redesign of the project during later
design phases and to ensure compliance with the
standards and requirements of this Section.

4.8B.2 Location, Access and Design Criteria
The location of all solid waste collection and/or
storage spaces shall meet the following requirements:
a To the extent possible, collection/storage locations shall be accessed from an alley. Where an alley is not present, collection/storage locations
may be accessed from the street. Collection/
storage locations for corner lots shall be accessed
from the Side Street.
b The collection/storage space shall be located
to minimize visual, noise, and odor impacts to
adjacent building occupants both on the subject
lot and on adjacent lots.
c Outdoor trash enclosures or collection rooms
within a structure shall not be located on a
street-facing facade of the structure. Outdoor
trash enclosures shall not be located between the
building faced and the street.
d The design of outdoor trash enclosures and
exterior facing elements of a collection/storage
area attached to, or within a building/structure,
shall complement the architectural features of
the building or development that they serve.

The incorporation of landscaping around trash
enclosures is encouraged as part of a successful
design. All outdoor trash enclosures shall include
a solid roof to minimize or prevent spilled or
trash contaminants from entering the stormwater
system.
e The property owner or manager shall maintain
both the interior spaces and surrounding exterior
areas and keep them clean and free of graffiti,
trash, residue, debris, and leaks.

4.8C GHG Emissions Reductions Standards
The following design features shall be incorporated for all new development:
a. Gas or propane fireplaces shall not be allowed in
residential development.
b. All residential development will provide outdoor
electrical outlets to accommodate the use of electric
landscape equipment.
c. New development shall install at least one electric
vehicle charging station on the specific project site,
or through coordination with the City in other
public parking areas within the City.

4.8D Other Municipal Code Standards
All other requirements of the Municipal Code not specifically provided in the Downtown Montebello Specific Plan apply including, but not limited to, screening (i.e. rooftop mechanical equipment), trash enclosures, the
installation of underground utilities.
110 Downtown Montebello Specific Plan

4.8E Landscape and Outdoor Lighting Standards

4.8E.1 Landscape Materials: Context appropriate
landscaping shall be provided for each project and
designed to achieve an attractive “urban” landscape
setting. Landscaping is also instrumental in creating
and delineating public and private spaces. Appropriate landscaping will depend on factors such as the setbacks, shape, size, and orientation of the building. a Proposed developments shall incorporate site
amenities such as linear planting beds or seat
walls, street furniture, enhanced paving surfaces,
public art, lighting, etc, where appropriate. These
features should be architecturally compatible
with the styles, materials and colors of the
principal building on the lot and those in the
immediate area.
b Plant species should be selected based on their
suitability for an urban environment, for their
cleanliness, and for their ability to survive in
a healthy state despite constrained growing
conditions. Ease of maintenance should also be
considered.
c The majority of plant materials shall consist
of drought tolerant and/or native plants with
minimum water requirements.
d The use of canopy trees for shading and cooling
is encouraged where appropriate, particularly
in publicly accessible open spaces and plazas,
to mitigate the urban heat island effect. Where
canopy trees are used, site design should provide
sufficiently sized tree pits or planting beds and
appropriate planting medium to provide for
healthy tree growth.
e Decorative water features shall use re-circulating
water and, where available, shall use recycled
water.

4.8E.2 Sustainable Storm Water Management: The intent
of this Downtown Specific Plan is to create an urban
walkable community. When fully implemented, the
development of the Downtown planning area will result in an urban setting characterized by commercial, residential, and mixed use buildings, and structured
or underground parking on sites with minimal to
no landscape areas available at grade. In some cases,
buildings could approach 100 percent coverage of
the site. As part of the development review process,
developers and their landscape architects will need to
focus on tailoring each project to provide stormwater
treatment facilities that are functional and visually
attractive and that avoid the use of surface infiltration basins, which are not conducive to an urban setting.

In preparing mandated Water Quality Management
Plans (WQMPs) the following design guidelines
shall be considered and implemented to the greatest
extent possible:
a Consider the range of BMP alternatives for
drainage, infiltration, and stormwater quality for
the site, including drainage from roofs, plazas,
courts, and any surface parking areas.
b Utilize Low Impact Development (LID) design
principles and practices to address infiltration of
runoff through the use of:
i Pervious surfaces in lieu of impermeable
surfaces in plazas, courtyards, and surface
parking areas where technically feasible.

Acceptable pervious surfaces include:
landscaping; pervious pavers including
pervious interlocking pavers and permeable
concrete; etc.; as approved by the Planning
and Community Development Director and
Public Works Director.
ii Landscaped areas integrated into the drainage design where runoff can be directed into planters with subsurface features to further
enhance storage or towards permeable
surfaces where technically feasible. Amended soils shall be utilized where technically feasible to enhance infiltration, to provide
water quality improvement, and to maintain
healthy plant life.
c Surface infiltration basins are not allowed, unless:
i They are accommodated within an active
or passive park or open space that can be
closed during flood events.
ii They are not visible from a street or public
open space and they are in addition to the
required on-site open space.

4.8E.3 Site Lighting
a Site lighting should be shielded by permanent
attachments to light fixtures so that light sources
are not visible from a public way and to prevent
off-site glare.

Part D: Code 111

4.9 Administration

4.9A Review Authority
The standards and other requirements of this Development Code shall be administered and enforced by the Planning Division of the Montebello Planning and
Community Development Department, the Planning

a Chapter 17.74 of the Municipal Code specifies
standards for Site Plan Review application. The
following types of applications shall be reviewed and
acted upon by the identified body or individual:
i. Ministerial Applications: The Planning and
Community Development Director review shall
be the Review Authority for ministerial applications as listed in Table 4.5. ii. Discretionary Applications: Discretionary application shall be reviewed as listed in Table D.5.

4.9.B Minor Deviations
a A Minor Deviation permits a design solution that
is not consistent with a specific provision of this
Development Code, but is justified by its ability to
fulfill this Specific Plan’s intent while not compromising its vision and intent. b All development standards within this Development
Code may deviate up to a maximum of ten percent
(10%).
c Minor Deviations are subject to Planning and
Community Development Director review prior to
Planning Commission consideration.

4.9.C Compatibility and Architectural Review
For the purposes of maintaining consistency with this
Specific Plan; establishing a high standard of architectural quality and design variety; and maintaining compatibility with adjoining properties, all development applications within the Downtown Specific Plan area will be subject to an external peer review. Such a review will be conducted by an architect, urban designer, or planner in private practice, as chosen by the review authority (City).

The review authority shall establish fees and procedures for such review.

4.9DTreatment of Potential Historic Resource
a Prior to completion of the Historic Resource Survey,
applications for all demolition permit and development proposals involving structures over 50 years in age will include a historic, technical assessment
or "Phase I" prepared by a City-designated historic
professional.
b Upon reviewing a "Phase I" historic assessment, the
Planning and Community Development Director
may request additional documentation in the form of
a Phase II study.
c Planning and Community Development Department
staff shall evaluate the Phase I and/or Phase II to
determine whether the application involves a Historic
Resource as defined by CEQA.
d If the Director determines a potential Historic
Resource is present, but not formally designated as
a landmark or already on a State or Federal register,
the development proposal shall be reviewed by the
Planning Commission for compliance with the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines
for the Treatment of Historic Properties.

118 Downtown Montebello Specific Plan

E Implementation
Part E: Implementation 119
The Downtown Montebello Specific Plan vision, guiding principles, policies, actions, and development code will drive: budget priorities; capital investments; and operational decisions.

Downtown Montebello Specific Plan Consistency in Implementation: The Downtown Montebello Specific Plan serves as a tool to align City decisions and actions with the General Plan and community’s vision for the Downtown area. The Downtown Montebello Specific Plan will be implemented through municipal policy decisions, ordinances and regulations, and future actions that are consistent with the Downtown Plan.

Conformance with the Downtown Montebello Specific Plan
will be assessed for public and private investment items placed on the agenda before the City Council and Planning Commission.

This Section describes the steps and actions to implement the Downtown Montebello Specific Plan based on collaboration with community members, City decision makers, and City Staff. The Downtown Montebello Specific Plan guides decision-making, therefore it must be updated periodically and provide accountability for implementing it over time.

Forge a Healthy Private/Public Partnership: The City will need to develop robust partnerships with Downtown businesses, residents and other public agencies to fully implement the vision outlined for Downtown Montebello. The City can combine its efforts with private sector efforts to improve public service delivery, manage public sector assets, or leverage private sector investment.

By expanding the role of the private sector, the City can use its technical, management, and financial resources in creative ways to achieve objectives of the Downtown Montebello Specific Plan.

These partnerships will be crucial to ensuring the most important actions are being implemented, and the most pressing community needs are being addressed.

Most actions include one or more City Departments. In
some cases, however, the action is entirely within the private or non-profit sector. The Lead for an action item represents the agency or partner most likely to take a leadership role in the measure. The leadership may shift to a new department depending on circumstances needed for the issue, and resources available at the time.

Establish Business Improvement Districts: One of the leading ways the private/public process is implemented is through business improvement districts (BID). The BID is the quasi-government for the downtown, the “keeper of the flame” of the downtown vision and strategy. A downtown BID is funded by property owners who voluntarily increase their property taxes to pay for BID functions. The BID’s operational role is usually (1) increasing the perceived and actual safety of downtown; (2) making the place cleaner; (3) creating festivals and events to encourage suburbanites to come downtown, and; (4) improving downtown’s image. The BID acts as downtown’s management team—ensuring its many complex elements work together to create a safe, attractive, unique, and well-functioning place.

120 Downtown Montebello Specific Plan
Time frames: The Downtown Montebello Specific Plan is
designed to be implemented over the next 20 years (2024—2044) by residents, business and property owners, non-profit organizations, community groups, city and county agencies, and elected and appointed officials. Some actions are straightforward and relatively easy to achieve, others will demand significant investment of time and resources and will require steadfast commitment on numerous levels.

Each action includes a time frame, within which the action should be carried out. These are intended to provide a general sense of how long it will take to implement the action.

Ongoing Some actions require continuous monitoring or
effort. These are identified as ongoing actions.

Immediate Begin work immediately.

Short term Begin work within 1 to 4 years.

Mid term Begin work within 4 to 8 years.

Long term Begin work within 8 to 10 years.

At the time of adoption, the time frames set in the Downtown Montebello Specific Plan and the city’s approved Capital Improvement Program may not be in complete agreement.

Over time, a stronger link should be established so that the two documents are synchronized and eventually are in full agreement.

Periodic Progress Report and Updates: Periodically a monitoring report will be prepared and presented to the Montebello Planning Commission and City Council. This report will review the progress made in implementing the Downtown Montebello Specific Plan. This is a vital part of keeping the Downtown Montebello Specific Plan implementation process open, transparent, and responsive. The public will be kept up to date as implementation actions are completed over time, i.e., checking off completed actions and reprioritizing remaining actions, reporting back to elected and/or appointed officials regarding progress, and periodically updating the plan. Providing regular updates on implementation actions and opportunities to participate in implementation activities are ways to engage the community on an ongoing basis.

Funding and Resources: Given the constrained fiscal environment and competing priorities under that are typical of local governments, identifying funding, staffing, and other resources are critically important for successful implementation. It is particularly important to establish their availability for short-term actions that generate momentum for further progress. However, financial feasibility should not constrain the ambition and potential of the Downtown Montebello Specific Plan to realize the community vision and goals. The strong plan with a compelling vision can be used to secure grants, philanthropic funding, leverage resources from external partners, and attract private investment.

Some actions may not be feasible in the short term, but could have a high impact if resources become available in the future.

The cost estimates are identified into three categories:
• Actions primarily involving internal staff time with limited outside funding required ($);
• Actions requiring outside consulting services or relatively minor ($100,000 to $1 million) investment in infrastructure or project development ($$);
• Actions requiring significant investment in infrastructure or project development ($$$).

Potential funding sources are identified for each action item.

Part E: Implementation 121

FUNDING SOURCES
To carry out the actions recommended in this Plan, a variety of Federal, State, regional, local, and private funding sources have been identified:

FEDERAL
Community Development Block Grant
This fund accounts for activities of the
Community Development Block Grant
received from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, including monies received from this agency as part of the federal stimulus program.

Low Income Housing Tax Credit
The Low Income Housing Tax Credit
(Housing Credit) is designed to encourage
private sector investment in the new construction, acquisition, and rehabilitation of rental housing affordable to low-income
households.  The Housing Credit offers a
dollar-for-dollar reduction in a taxpayer’s
income tax liability in return for making a
long-term investment in affordable rental
housing. State agencies award Housing
Credits to developers, who then sell the
Credits to private investors in exchange for
funding for the construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing. The 4% tax credit (30% subsidy) is for the acquisition
of existing buildings for rehabilitation and
new construction financed by tax-exempt
bonds. The 9% tax credit (70% subsidy)
is usually for new construction and
substantial rehabilitation without federal
subsidies.

National Endowment for the Arts Grants
for Arts Projects
The NEA Grants fund institutions
whose projects are vehicles for any of the
following: the portfolio of American Art
is expanded, Americans throughout the
nation experience art, and Americans of all
ages acquire knowledge or skills in the arts,
and American communities are strengthened through the arts.

Highway Safety Improvement Program
The Highway Safety Improvement
Program (HSIP) is a core Federal-aid
program with the purpose to achieve a
significant reduction in traffic fatalities
and serious injuries on all public roads,
including non-State-owned roads and
roads on tribal land.

STATE
Enhanced Infrastructure Financing
District (EIFD)
An EIFD is a governmental entity
established by a city that carries out a plan
within a defined area (boundaries of which
do not need to be contiguous) to construct,
improve and rehabilitate infrastructure;
construct housing, libraries, and parks;
remediate brownfields, etc.

Active Transportation Program (ATP)
ATP taps both state and federal funds
for bike and pedestrian projects across
California. The program allows cities to
compete for grants to build bicycle/pedestrian paths, install bike racks, and other projects or programs that make walking or
biking easier, safer and more convenient.

Caltrans Transportation Planning Grant
The Caltrans Sustainable Transportation
Planning Grants seek to fund projects
that ensure consideration of sustainability,
preservation, mobility, safety, innovation,
economy, health, and equity in transportation planning.

California Strategic Growth Council
(CSGC)
The CSGC provides grants to cities to
promote sustainable community planning
and natural resource conservation. The
grant program supports development,
adoption, and implementation of various
planning elements in three focus areas:

Local Sustainable Planning, Regional SB
375 Plus, and Regional Planning Activities with Multiple Partners.

California Arts Council (CAC)
CAC offers grants as well as provides a
great resource to search for other grants by
applicant type and field.

Proposition 68
Authorizes $4 billion in general obligation
bonds for: creation and rehabilitation of
state and local parks, natural resources
protection projects, climate adaptation
projects, water quality and supply projects,
and flood protection.

Proposition 41
Authorizes $600 million in general obligation bonds for affordable multifamily supportive housing to relieve homelessness, affordable transitional housing, affordable
rental housing, or related facilities for
veterans and their families.

Highway Users Tax Account (HUTA)
The HUTA, also known as the Gas Tax,
can be used for any street or road purpose
including new construction, bikeways,
curbs, landscaping, signs, signals etc.

REGIONAL
Prop A
The Proposition A requires that Local
Return (LR) funds be used exclusively to
benefit public transit. Expenditures related
to fixed route and paratransit services,
Transportation Demand Management,
Transportation Systems Management
and fare subsidy programs that exclusively
benefit transit are all eligible uses of
Proposition A LR funds. Proposition A
LR funds may also be traded with other
Jurisdictions in exchange for general or
other funds.

Prop C
The Proposition C directs that Local
Return funds also be used to benefit public
transit, and provides an expanded list of
eligible project expenditures including
Congestion Management Programs, bikeways and bike lanes, street improvements supporting public transit service, and
Pavement Management System projects.

Measure M
Measure M was approved by the voters of
Los Angeles County in 2016 to improve

122 Downtown Montebello Specific Plan
transportation and ease traffic congestion
consistent with the LosAngeles County
The Measure M Ordinance specifies that
Local Retrun funds be used exclusively for
transportation purposes.

Measure R
Measure R is a half-cent sales tax increase
to fund mass transit projects in the county
like new light rail lines,
Measure W
Los Angeles County Stormwater Fee
Transportation Development Act Article
3 Fund
Transportation Development Act Article
3 (TDA 3) provides funding annually for
bicycle and pedestrian projects.

AQMD Program
The AB 2766 Motor Vehicle Subvention
Program is a funding source for cities to
encourage the development of measures
or projects that result in the reduction of
motor vehicle emissions. Projects include
alternate fuels/electric vehicles, vehicle
emissions abatement, land use strategies
that encourage people to walk, bike or
use public transit, traffic management,
transportation demand management,
effective bike expenditures, PM reduction
strategies, and public education.

SCAG Sustainable Planning Grant
The Southern California Association of
Government (SCAG) offers direct funding of innovative planning initiatives for member cities through the Sustainability
Planning Grants program. The Sustainability Planning Grants Program provides direct technical assistance to SCAG
member jurisdictions to complete planning
and policy efforts that enable implementation of the regional Sustainable Communities Strategy. Grants are available in the following three categories:

Integrated Land Use – Sustainable Land
Use Planning, Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and Land Use & Transportation Integration; Active Transportation – Bicycle, Pedestrian and Safe Routes to School Plans; Green Region – Natural Resource Plans,
Climate Action Plans (CAPs) and Green
House Gas (GHG) Reduction programs.

Part E: Implementation 123
Local
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The CIP identifies all of the major projects
to be undertaken to improve facilities
and infrastructure within the city. During
the fiscal year, a separate CIP document
that reflects the current year program and
proposes a program of prioritized projects
for the next four to five years is prepared.

City Departments submit all proposed
projects in the foreseeable future, along
with their best cost-estimate. The request
includes the year a project will commence,
any funding sources that may be available
with either future sources or ones which
might have been previously designated,
justification for the project, and on-going
costs expected to occur after the project
has been completed. The CIP budget
team then compiles the information and
presents a draft CIP program to the City
Council. Projects are prioritized, based on
City Council and staff input.

General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s largest
single fund type used to account for basic
City services such as police, fire, public
works, parks and recreation, community
development, information technology, and
general administration. The two major
sources of revenue are property and sales
taxes.  For the 2023-2024 budget, the
breakdown is as follows:

Total Revenue [$XX,XXX,XXX.]
Sales Tax [$XX,XXX,XXX] or [XX%] of the
total.

Property Tax [$XX,XXX,XXX] or [XX%] of
the total.

Property Business Improvement District
A Property and Business Improvement
District (PBID) is a mechanism of funding improvements through assessments to businesses and real property within the
established PBID boundaries. Under the
Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994, revenues from PBID assessments may be used to fund capital
improvements and maintenance costs for
projects such as parking facilities, street
furniture, public restrooms, art, parks,
street and streetscape enhancements, and
plazas. A PBID formation petition, which
is initiated by property owners, requires
the signature of more than 50 percent of
the property owners, weighted by assessment liability.

Park Dedication Fees
The City receives fees from developers to
fund recreation facilities. These funds are
used for qualified recreational purposes
throughout the City.

Various Grant Funds
Various Federal, State, and regional grant
programs distribute funding for public
improvements. Because grant programs are
typically competitive, grant funds are an
unpredictable funding source.

Developer Contributions
Development Impact Fee
The City charges one-time impact fees on
new private development to offset the cost
of improving or expanding City facilities
to accommodate the project. Impact fees
are used to help fund the construction or
expansion of needed capital improvements.

Development Agreements
Development agreements are contracts
negotiated between project proponents
and public agencies that govern the land
uses that may be allowed in a particular
project. Development agreements provide
a developer with assurances for a specified
length of time that the proposed project
may proceed as originally approved, and
not be affected by future changes in land
use regulations. In exchange for this assurance, the landowner/developer may agree to public improvements, land dedications,
or in-lieu fees, as negotiated with the City,
as a condition of the agreement.

Community Facilities District
The Mello-Roos Community Facilities
Act of 1982 allows any county, city, special
district, school district, or joint powers
authority to establish a Mello-Roos
Community Facilities District (a “CFD”)
which allows for financing of public improvements and services. The services and improvements that Mello-Roos CFD can
finance include streets, sewer systems and
other basic infrastructure, police and fire
protection, ambulance services, schools,
parks, libraries, museums, and other
cultural facilities. By law, the CFD is also
entitled to recover expenses needed to
form the CFD and administer the annual
special taxes and bonded debt.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF APRIL 24, 2024

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On March 4, 2024, the City of Montebello issued a Request for Quotations ("RFQ") No. 24-1 for Summer Food Service Program Provider and received two (2) proposals in response. The City is seeking a contractor to provide meals for the City's SFSP, which is a Federally funded program that aims to serve free healthy meals to children and teens 18 years and younger during the summer months when school is not in session.

The SFSP is funded by the USDA and the City is a program sponsor responsible for managing the program locally. The program runs annually from June through August at Holifield Park, Reggie Rodriguez Park, City Park, and Grant Rea Park. The program typically services approximately 350-400 lunches per day during the span of the program. This summer, staff anticipate offering the program from June 10 through August 9.

We have worked the gamut of food opera(ons, and projects include designing school kitchens and serving rooms, to create a Kids Cooking Contest. The “Plus” in School Nutri(on Plus means we have the knowledge to go the extra milk for our customers and taek care of needs beyond delivering food. Below is a descrip(on of how we can meet the requirements in the Scope of Work.

The menu may include Picadillo, Vegetable Chow Mein, BBQ Chicken and a variety of salads, sandwiches and wraps. The meals will be individually sealed and delivered in hot and cold holding equipment to ensure safe temperatures are maintained. They will come with two types of milk and a spork kit. • Delivery: The meals will be delivered according to the delivery (mes in the scope of workand our drivers will unload and locate the equipment according to the preference of eachloca(on.

Customer Service
Our customer service strategy consists of four points described below.

1. Offering reasonable prices for excellent meals and service We understand that you are on a fixed budget and in addi(on to paying for meals, you have labor and overhead expenses associated with the food program. The quality of service and our food are excellent and can be had for well below the USDA reimbursement rates.

2. Proac.vely no.fying customers of any changes in the menu, delivery and service In the case of traffic accidents, food supplier subs(tu(ons, inclement weather or anything that would cause a devia(on from your normal service, we will immediately call and email our contact un(l we get ahold of a live person and can provide updates.

3. Delivering high quality meals on .me and at appropriate temperatures We pride ourselves on our healthy, from scratch meals that appeal to not only children, but school staff of all ages. The majority of cooks at SNP have a culinary school degree or cer(ficate, and backgrounds in fine dining, so you know your meals have been craIed by experts. Food safety is our number one priority at SNP, which is why our head cook and up must pass the manager level ServSafe class. We consistently receive 99-100% scores from the County health department and monitor food safety throughout the flow of food, from delivery to service.

4. Responding to customer phone calls and emails with a sense of urgency Our team is always available via email, office phone or cell phones and we think you will find our responsiveness exceeds most customer expecta(ons. You will also have regular site visits from our Account Director who can provide support and will monitor QA.

Standard Professional Services Agreement
The City of Montebello’s standard professional services agreement is acceptable.

Lawsuits or Arbitra+on
There have not been any lawsuits or arbitra(on proceeding that have been ini(ated by or against our firm in the past five years.

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: Fernando Pelaez, Fire Chief
Michael Solorza, Director of Finance
SUBJECT: APPROVE ACQUISITION OF TWO FIRE PUMPER ENGINES AND

RELATED RESCUE EQUIPMENT
DATE: April 24, 2024
RECOMMENDATION(S):

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Authorize the purchase of two (2) Fire Pumper Engines using the pre-bid Sourcewell contract based off Request for Proposal #113021; and,

2. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Kovatch Mobile Equipment Corporation (KME Fire Apparatus), in a not-to-exceed amount of $2,387,573 for the purchase and equipping/outfitting of two (2) KME Severe Service Pumpers (Fire Engines); and

3. Find that the use of the pre-bid Sourcewell contract #113021 conforms with Montebello Municipal Code Chapter 3.20.050 (F), Cooperative Purchase; and

4. Approve the surplus of unneeded fire engines and any associated equipment currently used as reserve apparatus; and

5. Take such additional, related actions necessary to effectively and efficiently procure the two (2) Severe Service pumpers (Fire Engines) and required Rescue Equipment from KME Fire Apparatus
FISCAL IMPACT:

The City of Montebello currently has three front-line Fire Engines in service – with additional units held in reserve. Two of the front-line apparatus are past their useful service life and must be replaced. The proposed plan is to acquire two (2) new KME Severe Service Fire Engine Pumper units (Fire Engines) which would be placed into active service upon delivery. (See Attachment A for the bid specifications). The Fire

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF APRIL 24, 2024

Engines in active service that will be replaced would be rotated into reserve duty, and the current reserve engines would be surplused/disposed.

These types of fire apparatus are a major capital investment, and as such are typically purchased through financing. Typically, fire engines and fire trucks are acquired through the lease-purchase process. This process allows the total cost of purchase and outfitting to be financed over a longer period of time, which results in reasonable and manageable annual lease payments. For example, the Montebello Fire Department acquired a fire engine in 2018 and a fire truck in 2022 through the lease-purchase process.

The two Fire Engines will be acquired from Kovatch Mobile Equipment (KME) Corporation. Given the nature of this acquisition, delivery of the Fire Engines – built to customized specifications per the Montebello Fire Department (Attachment A) – will not occur for approximately 36 months. The fire apparatus industry is facing extreme backlogs and delays caused by lack of parts as well as difficulty in finding skilled labor to assemble the units.

For these reasons, Staff is recommending approval to purchase the two engines, with additional action closer to delivery to finalize financing of the engines. Delaying “locking in” financing allows the City to better time payments with actual delivery of the engines, as well as take advantage of potentially lower interest rates in the future. With the extreme delay in delivery time (up to 36 months), if financing were approved now, payment would begin in two years – at least one year prior to delivery of the apparatus. It does not make sense to pay for equipment the City cannot utilize. Therefore, Staff will monitor financing rates, anticipating lower rates three years from now compared to current quotes.

The total amount necessary to procure the two KME Severe Service Pumper Fire Engines and Related Rescue Equipment is $2,387,573 (Attachment B). Each engine is quoted at $1,193,787, and the total proposal includes sales tax at 10.25%. Because the City is not locking in financing at this time, there is no prepayment discount ($148,634). However, by waiting to pursue financing until closer to the delivery date, Staff anticipates saving more than this amount due to lower interest rates.

Current financing rates are in the low five percent (5.0%) range. In comparison, two years ago when the City Council approved the purchase and financing of a Fire Truck, rates were 2.68%. While Staff and its financing consultant do not anticipate rates being that low in 36 months, even a one percent (1.0%) reduction in rates would generate significant savings over a ten-year financing period vs. current rates. Therefore, Staff is seeking approval to move forward with the acquisition of the two Fire Engines, with the understanding that Staff will return with a financing proposal once a firm delivery date is known (approximately 36 months from now).

Given the nature of this lease-purchase, no budget amendment is necessary at this time. Furthermore, no payments are necessary prior to any financing proposal eventually presented to the City Council. This financing process allows the City to acquire an essential piece of firefighting and life safety equipment without any upfront costs. Furthermore, the additional time – up to three years – will allow Staff to forecast

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF APRIL 24, 2024

and plan for the additional finance cost and its budget impact.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The Montebello Fire Department operates three (3) fire stations, with suppression activities that account for the vast majority of emergency responses, resulting in approximately 22 to 25 emergency calls per day, with an estimate of 8,000 calls for service each year.

Currently, the Montebello Fire Department staffs three Paramedic Engines (Pumpers) 24 hours per day, 7 days per week at Stations 55, 56, and 57. One of the units to be replaced is a 2001 American LaFrance engine, with 167,00 miles. Any replacement parts for this engine must be fabricated since American LaFrance is no longer in business. The second unit is a 2009 Seagrave with 77,000 miles. The year, make and model of this fire engine make it difficult for parts to be obtained, delaying repairs and causing extended out of service time.

Moreover, these units exceed the recommended industry standard service life for front line Fire Engines according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1911-96- Inspection, Maintenance Testing of In-service Fire Apparatus and NFPA 1901 and 1906- Guidance on Retirement of Apparatus. This guidance states such apparatus must not exceed 15 years of front-line operation with an additional 10 years as a reserve apparatus, for a total of 25 years of service life. With a three-year build out time frame for the new fire engines, both the American LaFrance and Seagrave units would be well past the NFPA recommended service time.

In addition, fire apparatus technology has improved markedly since both those units were manufactured. The new engines will provide safety cameras for blind spots, alarms for alerting the driver when backing, computer alerts for mechanical issues, a clean fuel burning system which eliminates benzene, and myriad other improvements. The new engines will also be larger to accommodate the additional equipment utilized by modern fire agencies. The crew cab on the KME Severe Service Pumpers would be a "clean air cab," allowing for firefighting gear to be stored outside the crew compartment, keeping fire personnel separate from any dangerous chemicals or irritants on their equipment.

Purchasing Process
Montebello fire personnel have carefully reviewed and assessed the most effective, efficient and dependable fire apparatus for the Fire Department fleet. The Fire Department utilized the Sourcewell procurement process to identify the best suitable pricing that is compliant with the City’s procurement process and Municipal Code Chapter

3.20.050 (F) – Cooperative Purchases.

Specifically, Sourcewell Contract #113021 (Attachment C) is being utilized. The City has utilized Sourcewell for numerous and various types of purchases over the last several years, including the April 2022 purchase of a Fire Truck (expected delivery end of 2024). This is a nationally recognized cooperative purchasing entity and pricing has been determined to be competitive.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF APRIL 24, 2024

Through the procurement process it was deemed appropriate to move forward with the proposal for the acquisition of the new Fire Engines, manufactured by Kovatch Mobile Equipment (KME) Corporation (Attachment A). The Fire Engines being replaced will be surplussed, and the remaining engines utilized by the Department will be rotated into reserve duty and additional units will be surplussed as required due to age and other factors.

ANALYSIS:

N/A
SUMMARY:

Staff is recommending the City Council approve the purchase of two (2) Kovatch Mobile Equipment (KME) Severe Service Pumpers (Fire Engines) and Related Rescue Equipment to ensure compliance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1911 and 1906 guidance for standards in fire operations.

The total cost of the two Fire Engines will be $2,387,573 (Attachment B). At this time, only approval of the acquisition of the engines is needed. Staff will return at a later date – closer to the anticipated delivery of the engines in approximately 36 months – to seek financing authorization. Given the long lead time necessary to build the engines, it makes financial sense to not “lock in” financing until closer to delivery. Furthermore, it is anticipated that financing rates will be lower than the current five percentage point environment.

The purchase of the two engines will be accomplished through the City’s cooperative purchase authority of the Municipal Code (Section 3.20.050(F)), utilizing Sourcewell Contract #113021 (Attachment C). The price quote (Attachment B) is good for 60 days (until April 27, 2024).
