CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):

This Ordinance was reviewed pursuant to CEQA. Adopting this Ordinance is exempt from further environmental review because it establishes rules and procedures for operation of existing facilities; minor temporary use of land; minor alterations in land use; new construction of small structures; and minor structures accessory to existing commercial facilities. The Ordinance, therefore, is categorically exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301; 15303, 15304(e); 15305; and 15311. Further, adopting the ordinance is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3) because the ordinance is for general policies and procedure-making. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. Individual projects utilizing these regulations will each be separately subject to an environmental assessment. Finally, this Ordinance is exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15269(a) because the protection of public and private property is necessary to maintain service essential to the public, health and welfare.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: April 19, 2023
AGENDA ITEM NO:

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Shawn Igoe, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Receive and File Staff Report Summarizing the Status of Emergency Repairs of the Monterey Pass Road Water Line
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Receive and File the staff report summarizing the status of emergency repairs of the Monterey Pass Road water line; and

2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

BACKGROUND:

On August 17, 2022, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-R69 authorizing the City Manager to take necessary measures for emergency repair of a water main line on Monterey Pass Road. Recurring water main leaks in several areas within Monterey Pass Road between the intersections of Vagabond Drive and Brightwood street resulted in extensive infrastructure damage to the roadway and necessary water main pipe repairs to ensure continued water service to residences and businesses in the area.

On August 29, 2022, the City contracted with Cannon Corporation for professional engineering services to prepare design plans and specifications for the water pipeline replacement. Cannon provided the City with complete plans to replace the existing 12- inch water transmission line in December which was identified in the December 21, 2022 staff report update for this project.

Following the adoption of the emergency resolution, staff contacted potential contractors and identified Ferreira Coastal Construction (Ferreira) in September 2022 as a qualified contractor that also had the resources and availability for the construction phase of this project. Ferreira worked closely with the City and Cannon Corporation during the design phase to provide input on design, constructability, and material availability.

The design phase began with a field survey, potholing and research of underground infrastructure that affect the placement of the proposed piping system which took several months due to the existing infrastructure overlaps. Various design alternatives were studied to address conflicting utilities with the Southern California Edison substation underground electrical, storm drain lines and sewer mains which impacted the placement of the new water main. Additional research of available material and cost was conducted Old Business - 2A

Staff Report

April 19, 2023

during the months of December and January to ensure the project could be expedited due to the significant material delivery delays.

Design work of this type of project typically takes at least six mo nths to complete. Final design, however, was completed in under four months along with a final material list being developed, researched and evaluated, leading to an approximate reduction in four to six months of time for this project to be completed. By adopting the emergency resolution and reducing the typical timeline, impacts to essential services and damages to public and private property are being mitigated. The City received pricing and lead times for material from three vendors and worked with Ferreira to evaluate the City’s best option based on cost, lead time and availability of parts and material. Staff ordered the material required for the project in January and February 2023. Construction has now started and is scheduled to be complete by October 2023.

Typical emergency projects can be completed within a short period of time; this project is significantly different as there is approximately one-mile of 12-inch water main that failed in several locations and continues to see failure points. These failures led to businesses that operate around the clock to be left without essential public services during these repairs in addition to limited access to their businesses . These failures have led to significant damages to the roadway which require additional work and material to restore.

There were additional delays that impacted this project related to receiving material with the continued supply chain challenges that continue to impact projects such as this one.

Additionally, the recent rain has impacted construction citywide.

As part of the City’s outreach efforts, the construction manager visited business along the project area prior to the start of the project to notify them of the upcoming construction.

The Economic Development Division also mailed out letters to businesses that may be impacted by this project. Message boards were placed within the project area before construction to alert drivers of the impact to their commutes. The City will continue to provide project updates to the community for the duration of the project through the City website, social media, and City Council meetings. A dedicated webpage was created on the city’s website as, www.Montereypark.ca.gov/Montereypass, to inform the public about the project and provide progress updates. Residents and businesses can also sign up to receive project updates by subscribing to NIXLE, by texting "MPSS" to 888777.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Monterey Pass Road Emergency Water Main Improvements is included in the FY 22-23 Capital Improvement Plan as Project No. 99025. The following is an estimated cost for the project:

“Denim Day” 2023

AGENDA ITEM NO:

TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ron Bow, City Manager
SUBJECT: Continue to extend the existence of an employment emergency for the City of Monterey Park
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Receiving and filing this report;

2. Continuing to extend the existence of an employment emergency for the City of Monterey Park and authorizing the City Manager to take all practical actions needed to implement the efficient recruitment and retention of persons for employment; and

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

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City continues to utilize the employment emergency to expedite recruitment processes to fill vacancy positions. Since February 2023, the City has filled a Facility Maintenance Supervisor, Water Utility Maintenance Worker, Maintenance Worker, promoted Police Captain, two Lieutenants, Sergeant, four Corporals, Senior Maintenance Worker, Crew Leader, and Senior Librarian.

Since December 2022, 11 full-time and 14 part-time employees have resigned or retired. The recruitment trend continues to be an employee’s job market with various options for candidates to consider when looking for employment. The data from the U.S. labor market shows a large gap between job openings and workforce participation in 2022, translating into challenges for employers to attract quality candidates and retain current employees. In October 2022, the City was recruiting for 46 full-time positions, December 2022 – 39 positions, February 2023 – 37 positions and the City continues to recruit for 29 vacant full-time positions. Staff recommends extending the employment emergency order due to the recruitment challenges for critical vacancies in the Public Works Department and other departments.

BACKGROUND:

During the months of the employment emergency the City recruited or retained employees in different ways:

Consent Calendar - 3F

Staff Report

April 19, 2023
• Promotional opportunities: current full-time employees promoting or lateral recruitment to different departments; and part-time employees promoting to full- time positions.
• Conducting oral interviews with internal oral raters and reducing timelines from two separate oral panels (external oral raters panel and 2nd interview with internal hiring manager).
• Filling part-time vacancies with shortened recruitment process to minimize hiring timeframe.
• Retaining Assistant City Manager (ACM) incumbent: advanced salary range increase, use of City vehicle, increase in vacation accrual, and vacation cap maximum.
• Leasing City vehicle (ACM): City Manager pursuant to Resolution No. 2022-R49, Section 2 (attached) allowed the City to by-pass the bidding requirements in Monterey Park Municipal Code section 3.20.060 pursuant to MPMC section

3.20.050(A).
• Increase Water Utility Manager salary range based on compensation study data to be competitive in the market.
• Retaining Water Operations Supervisor incumbent: use of City vehicle, move from hourly wage to salaried wage, and provided 40 hours of administrative leave time. • Created and revised class specifications in an expedited timeframe to increase candidate pool for recruitments.
• Revising Personnel Rules and Regulations to bring to Council in May 2023.

RESOLUTION NO. 2022-R49

A RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF

MONTEREY PARK DECLARING THE EXISTENCE OF A LOCAL

EMERGENCY DUE TO LACK OF EMPLOYEES AND AUTHORIZING THE

CITY MANAGER TO TAKE ALL REASONABLE ACTIONS TO ACCELERATE RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES.

BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Monterey Park as follows:

SECTION 1: The City Council finds as follows:

A. Since the City Council officially terminated the COVID-19 local emergency in April, the City took ambituous actions to restore pre-pandemic levels of municipal services;

B. In reviewing personnel data from just the last six months, however, it is apparent that the City is seriously short-staffed.

C. The City of Monterey Park has 325 full time staff positions of which nearly 70 are currently vacant. Of these positions, multiple are critical to protecting public health and safety including, without limitation, Water Production Supervisor; Senior Water Production System Operator; Water Utility Maintenance Worker; Director of Public Works; Facilities Maintenance Supervisor; Finance Manager; Firefighter; Police Officer; Senior Accountant; and Lifeguard;

D. These are positions that directly respond to the public and/or essential to the smooth operation of municipal services including, for example, providing potable drinking water, and ensuring public safety;

E. The City Council notes that multiple sources of publicly available information (see, e.g., “Quantifying the Nation’s Workforce Crisis – State of American Business 2022 Update” [January 10, 2022] published by the United States Chamber of Commerce [www.uschamber.com/workforce/quantifying-the- nations-workforce-crisis-2022-state-of-american-business-update] and “COVID- 19 ends longest employment recovery and expansion in CES history, causing unprecedented job losses in 2020” June 2021 by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics [www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2021/article/covid-19-ends-longest- employment-expansion-in-ces-history.htm]) demonstrate that the challenges for recruiting qualified employees is nationwide;

F. Because of the City’s personnel rules and policies, however, a typical time period for securing an outstanding candidate for an open employee position is taking four to six months of processing. This includes the initial recruitment; testing; interviewing; and background check;

Resolution No. 2022-R49

G. In multiple instances, the City has lost interested candidates to the private sector or other public entities simply because the person did not want to continue waiting to be appointed;

H. Being able to accelerate the testing and interviewing will help make the City more attractive to individuals seeking public service. Additional work is needed regarding the titles of positions; compensation; and various fringe benefits. Moreover, a significant overhaul of the City’s personnel rules is crucial to becoming more efficient in the future;

I. In the interim, however, it is in the public interest to cut through the proverbial “red tape” in order to fill positions that are critical to providing municipal services to the public. Under these circumstances, it is apparent that there is an imminent threat to public health and safety that may result from the City’s inability to fill crucial positions in a timely and efficient manner;

J. Consequently, a local employment emergency is declared and the City Manager is authorized to take the actions set forth in this Resolution.

SECTION 2: Authorizations. The City Manager is authorized to take all reasonable and practicable actions to accelerate the process for recruiting, appointing, and retaining persons as City employees to fill all vacant positions. Such actions may include, without limitation, the following:

A. Suspend those portions of the City’s personnel rules that are interfering with the City’s ability to secure qualified candidates. For example, unnecessary testing and interview panels;

B. Temporarily appoint qualified persons to positions in accordance with Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”) § 2.28.100;

C. Execute agreements, in a form approved by the City Attorney, for the services listed in MPMC § 2.28.190;

D. Consider amendments to titles and classifications of various positions to make them more attractive to qualified candidates;

E. Consider compensation and benefits that will attract qualified candidates to public services; and

F. Commence a substantial overhaul to the City’s personnel rules.

SECTION 3: During the existence of this local emergency, the powers, functions, and duties of the City Manager and the emergency organization of this City will be those prescribed by California law, by ordinance, and resolutions of this City approved by the

Resolution No. 2022-R49

City Council. To the extent that the actions authorized by this Resolution require a meet and confer with the City’s bargaining units, those meetings will be held at the earliest practicable time pursuant to Government Code § 3504.5(b).

SECTION 4: The City Manager is designated as the authorized representative for public assistance and as the authorized representative for individual assistance of the City of Monterey Park for the purpose of receiving, processing, and coordinating all inquiries and requirements necessary to obtain available state and federal assistance.

SECTION 5: This local emergency will be reviewed by the City Council within 60 days in accordance with Government Code § 8630 to determine whether it should be extended by City Council Resolution.

SECTION 6: This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 7: This Resolution will take effect immediately upon adoption.

SUBJECT: California State Library Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Grant
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council consider:

1. Adopting a resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to apply for, receive, and appropriate grant funds for the California State Library Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Grant

2. Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The California State Library Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Grant provides competitive grants of up to $10 million to local libraries to support capital projects addressing critical maintenance needs, improving energy efficiency and sustainability, and expanding access digitally and physically.
lf adopted, the proposed resolution would authorize the City Manager, or designee, to apply for the Building Forward Grant, to execute the grant agreement, and to implement a budget amendment if the City is awarded funds. The deadline to apply is May 18, 2023, funds will be awarded in the fall of 2023 and the project completion date is June 30, 2027.

BACKGROUND:

The California State Library Building Forward Library Facilities Improvement Program is the largest single investment made by the state in California’s public libraries. There is $179 million available for this round of grants, which is significantly less than the expected amount of requested funding. Accordingly, the State Library anticipates that they may reduce the amount requested by successful applicants. Additionally, project requests submitted for libraries located in high-poverty areas of the state will be prioritized for funding. Currently high need maintenance projects within the Library are being identified by City staff. Although libraries may apply for up to $10 million in grant funding, staff anticipates that our total request will be in the $2-3 million-dollar range.

Monterey Park City Council
320 West Newmark Ave.

Monterey Park, CA 91754
Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council,
It gives me great pleasure to strongly recommend Victoria Chavez-Calderon for a Memorial Tree in the City of Monterey Park, California. I have known her for more than 30 years and over the course of that time I have seen her defend our immigrant communities, fight for diversity, and uplift all Monterey Park residents.

More than three decades ago, the City of Monterey Park was facing an ugly anti-immigrant English only movement that was tearing our community apart. At the time, a vocal group of long-established residents resented the new immigrants moving into town and demanded English only signs across the community, books in the library, and passed a resolution declaring that only English should be spoken in the city. This was a dark time for our city, but it was leaders like Victoria that bravely stood up and pushed back. She was one of the strongest critics against this movement and fiercely defended our immigrant communities. Together we worked alongside a multiethnic coalition who successfully fought to overturn the resolution and set us on a new path.

In the following years Victoria continued her advocacy for diversity by establishing the Morelia, Mexico sister cities commission. In doing so, she brought pride to many Mexican American residents and helped promote greater cultural understanding between two different nations and within our own neighborhoods.

At the same time, Victoria has consistently worked hard to build a stronger Monterey Park community. As a member of the Community Participation Commission, she has created opportunities for residents to come together and enjoy cultural performances, historic exhibits, and many other local events. In her capacity she has also led trips to the Hollywood Bowl, visited seniors at the Langley Senior Center, and engaged our youth so that they can also participate in community activities.

Victoria Chavez-Calderon has spent her entire life defending immigrant communities, advocating for diversity, and building a stronger Monterey Park. She is more than deserving of a Memorial Tree in her name and I am proud to strongly recommend her for this honor.

Sincerely,
JUDY CHU, Ph.D.

Recommendation Letter for Victoria Chavez-Calderon
To whom it may concern:

This letter is my personal recommendation for Victoria Chavez-Calderon, for a memorial tree in the city of Monterey Park, California.

I have personally known Victoria for more of 15 years, we met while she showed me and my family a home nearby to rent. While viewing the home, she noticed we were a large family and
recommended a duplex home next to hers.

Thanks to her recommendation to the landlord, I’ve been able to live next to my parents a nd siblings. This was a life changing event, it gave me the opportunity to live with my husband and daughter, without having to sacrifice not seeing my family.

Meeting Victoria was one of the best things that ever happened in my life, she is truly a gift of God. When choosing a godmother for my daughter, I didn’t have to look far to find the perfect role model, that’s why I chose her.

In all my years of knowing Victoria, I’ve seen the love, compassion, helpfulness, and willingness to help anyone that crosses her path. Nothing is too small or too big, she will always be there with a smile and loving heart.

Victoria deserves this memorial tree, because it will represent an amazing human that truly shines like a beautiful bright star. If you have further questions, please give me a call at (323) 649
-2299.

Yadira Orendain

B. The property is 63.38 acres (2,760,617 square feet ) in size and irregularly shaped with access from Potrero Grande Drive on the west and Paramount Boulevard to the east. Currently developed on the Project site, the Monterey Park Market Place is a multi -tenant, regional shopping center featuring both large and small tenant spaces, including a gas station and various drive- through restaurants. The area west of the leachate treatment plant, is vacant and ready for development to complete the build- out of the Monterey Park Market Place.

C. The General Plan designation for the P roject site is Commercial . This allows for a broad range of retail and service commercial uses, hospitality, entertainment, medical and professional offices, including those uses existing and contemplated within the Monterey Park Market Place.

SECTION 3: Plannin
g Agency. Pursuant to MPMC § 2.56.020(C), the City Council is the Monterey Park Planning Agency for purposes of this Ordinance.

SECTION 4: Env
ironmental Assessment. The environmental analysis set forth in Ordinance No. ___, considered in conjunction with this Ordinance, is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth including, without limitation, the Notice of Consistency. The City Manager, or designee, is directed to file a notice of determination in accordance with CEQA §§ 21152, 21167(f); CEQA Guidelines § 15094; and any other applicable law.

SECTION 5: Appr

ORDINANCE NO.

PAGE 3 of 7

in this Ordinance are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the matter. The determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 9: Limit
ations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 10: Se
verability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.

SECTION 11: El
ectronic Signatures . This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 12: Publ
ications. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within 15 days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

SECTION 13: Rec
ording. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be entered into the City of Monterey Park’s book of original ordinances, make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting, and, within fifteen days after the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.

SECTION 14: Effe

63.68 acres) located in the southeast portion of the City of Monterey Park, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, immediately north of the Pomona Freeway, State Route 60 (Pomona Freeway), and west of Paramount Boulevard as shown on Figure 1 (Specific Plan Area).

2 Figure 1: Specific Plan Area
Regional access to the Specific Plan Area is provided via the Pomona Freeway south of the Site.

Paramount Boulevard provides the major access route to and from the Pomona Freeway in both eastbound and westbound directions. Local access is provided through Market Place Drive via Potrero Grande Drive ( See Figure 2). The Specific Plan Area is bounded by Southern California Edison (SCE) property to the northwest and northeast, and by the Pomona Freeway to the south.

Figure 2: Market Place Aerial – Local Access

3 Other surrounding land uses include the SCE Mesa substation to the northwest and a cemetery and residential use to the northeast. The approximately 145- acre Operating Industries Incorporated (OII) landfill, also referred to as the “ South Parcel” landfill, is located south of the Pomona Freeway.

B. BACKGROUND
On or about December 19, 2 012, the Monterey Park City Council adopted (a) Res olution No. 11549 approving the Monterey Park Market Place Precise Plan (PP-12-01) and Tentative Tract Map No. 071549 (TM-12-01) and certifying the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SCH NO. 1999051058); and (b) Resolution No. 11548 a statement of overriding considerations for the Monterey Park Market Place Precise Plan. On or about January 16, 2013, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2094, approving a Development Agreement between the City of Monterey Park and Monterey Park Retail Partners, LLC to allow the development of the Monterey Park Market Place. The Monterey Park Market Place Precise Plan covered the same geographical location as the Specific Plan Area.

Although part of the USEPA -designated OII landfill superfund site, the Monterey Park Market Place does not contain any hazardous materials and consists of two distinct areas . The Market Place portion that is to the east and north of Market Place Drive (which Drive is currently designated as APN 5275-003-026 and - 027) is comprised of various tax parcels that have been largely developed with approximately 310,000 square feet of retail floor area:

1. APN 5275-003-030 and -031: A retail warehouse and gas fueling depot.

2. APN 5275-003-038: A retail home improvement center.

3. APN 5275-003-029, -037 and -039: Various retail uses.

The Market Place portion that is to the west of Market Place Drive and north of Pomona Highway (SR 60) is currently designated as APN 5275-003-025 and was not redeveloped. Between the two areas of the Market Place development, APN 5275 -003-024 is the existing Leachate Treatment Plant (LTP) and Thermal Destruction Facility (TDF) facilities (which are not part of the Monterey Park Market Place development) but contained within the Specific Plan The Monterey Park Market Place area also includes various easements on the adjacent SCE parcel for grading, utilities, parking, drainage , and other permitted uses (collectively, the SCE Easements).

The Precise Plan allowed up to 500,000 square feet of floor area , but permitted the Planning Director or Planning Commission to approve modifications allowing up to 600,000 square feet.

6 II. SPECIFIC PLAN OVERVIEW
A. PURPOSE AND AUTHORITY OF THE SPECIFIC PLAN
This Specific Plan is intended to provide for the orderly and efficient development of the Specific Plan Area in accordance with the provisions of the General Plan. In conjunction with the General Plan, the Specific Plan implements the plan for the physical development of the Specific Plan Area and a guide to all future development within the plan area.

A Specific Plan may be prepared for any defined geographic area , which might benefit from specialized land use regulations and development standards.

The Specific Plan provides for development within the Specific Plan Area and establishes the permitted uses, development intensity , site planning and development standards, design and architecture, landscaping, signs, refuse facilities, access and circulation, parking , and trip reduction measures of the Project.

B. SPECIFIC PLAN SCOPE AND GOALS
Implementation of General Plan goals and policies will occur through the establishment of land use designations, traffic circulation patterns, development policies, and the identification of backbone infrastructure necessary to support the planned intensity of development.

To achieve this purpose, the Specific Plan has the following goals:

1. Establish the planning concept, design theme, development regulations, and procedures necessary to achieve an orderly and compatible development;

2. Implement the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan;

3. Establish a framework to create a successful Project with a mix of predominantly retail uses with retail-supporting uses, such as Last Mile Distribution Center and Warehouse uses;

4. Meet changing market demands for more home delivery by allowing car sales, Last Mile Distribution Center and Warehouse uses;

5. Facilitate the full build-out of the Specific Plan Area; and

6. Provide clear design guidelines and standards to allow for flexibility in the implementation and build-out of planned development within the Specific Plan area.

7 C. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The General Plan serves as the long-term planning guide for future development throughout the City. The General Plan operates as a guide to the type of community desired for the future and provides the means to accomplish that goal. California Law and the MPMC require a Specific Plan to be consistent with the General Plan. This Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan and advances the goals and policies identified below.

1. Land Use Element : The Specific Plan is consistent with the Land Use and Urban Design Element of the General Plan and the following goals and policies:
• Goal 1: Commercial districts that allow a variety of retail, service, and entertainment uses and that accommodate flexibility over time.
• Policy 1.1: Flexibility. Ensure zoning regulations provide flexibility regarding allowed uses.
• Goal 2: Dynamic mix of businesses, uses, and employment that sustains a strong local economy and contributes to a fiscally sustainable tax base. • Policy 2.1 : Flexibility. Provide flexible and clear development standards to allow commercial, professional, industrial, institutional, and hospitality businesses and uses to expand and thrive economically.
• Policy 2.2: Business Growth. Facilitate the growth of a diverse business sector resilient to change over time and compatible with a broad range of skills and workers. • Goal 12: High design quality in all new commercial developments and rehabilitation projects.
• Policy 12.1 : Compatibility. Require new, infill, and rehabilitation projects in commercial districts be compatible with existing contexts in terms of site design, scale, building design, materials, and architectural approaches. • Policy 12.2: Comprehensive Design. Provide for comprehensive design review of new commercial development.
• Goal 14: The Market Place as a regional destination for diverse shopping, dining and entertainment experiences.
• Policy 14.1: Flexibility. Ensure that zoning regulations applicable to the Market Place properties provide focus for the uses the City looks to attract, while providing flexibility to accommodate emerging new uses and markets over time. • Policy 14.2: Traffic. Work with property owners and property managers to address and manage traffic associated with the Market Place , so that visitors avoid traveling through adjacent residential neighborhoods.

8 • Policy 14.3: High Design Quality. Insist upon high design quality and landscape treatments upon establishment and over time.

The land uses allowed under the Specific Plan are consistent with the Land Use P olicy Map (Land Use and Urban Design Element, Figure LU -1) and the building intensity/heights are consistent with the Regulating Plan (Land Use and Urban Design Element, Figure LU -4). The Specific Plan will allow for a variety of retail and service uses, plus Last Mile Distribution Center and Warehouse uses that will facilitate home delivery of retail goods. The Specific Plan will provide flexibility by expanding the range of uses permitted in the Specific Plan Area, which will also promote a more dynamic mix of businesses and uses, create jobs, and contribute to the tax base. The expanded uses will provide a more diverse business sector and a broader range of job opportunities. The Specific Plan’s architectur al and landscaping standards are of high quality and are compatible with surrounding development currently existing and proposed in the vicinity of the Specific Plan Area. The Specific Plan will require the comprehensive design review of all new buildings. The Specific Plan requirements and design review will further the policy of high design quality . Consistent with the City ’s urban design plan, this Specific Plan requires a landscaping plan that will provide for an organized and consistent landscaping design for the Specific Plan Area , including dense plantings and mature plant materials. The Specific Plan provides requirements for circulation and for a Trip Cap, which will further the policy to manage traffic to and from the Market Place and avoid traffic in adjacent residential neighborhoods.

2. Economic Development Element: The Specific Plan is consistent with the Land Economic Development Element of the General Plan and the following goals and policies:
• Policy 1.1: Encourage a pattern of development that balances revenue -generating land uses in phase with other uses that demand services. • Policy 1.2: Encourage the growth or relocation of industries that generate local tax and employment advantages.
• Goal 2.0: Attract new businesses to the commercial Focus Areas identified in the Land Use Element.
• Policy 2.2: Concentrate development in sectors where growth is forecast in the short- to mid-term. Focus efforts on retail and hospitality uses in the short- term and light industrial uses subsequently.
• Goal 7.0: Create a major regional- serving commercial center north and south of Potrero Grande Drive, north of the Pomona Freeway.
• Policy 7.1: Work with the City of Montebello to ensure good access to the Focus Area via Paramount Boulevard.
• Policy 7.2: Encourage development of retail businesses within the OII/Edison area,

9 which serve a regional market and maximize tax revenue potential. • Policy 7.3: Work closely with SCE to create a reuse plan for SC E properties that optimizes potential for retail commercial and complementary development. • Policy 7.4: Pursue public infrastructure improvements that will support and facilitate redevelopment of the OII/Edison area.
• Policy 7.5: Work with Ca ltrans to enhance the appearance of Pomona Freeway frontage bordering the Oll/Edison area.

The Specific Plan continues the transformation of the closed OII landfill area adjacent to the Pomona Freeway into a major retail center that includes regional retail uses intended to bring additional shoppers from outside the City , or needed warehouse or distribution facility , any of which will raise additional tax revenue. The Specific Plan is anticipated to continue to attract additional national and regional retail and supporting uses to the City, thereby creating additional employment opportunities for City residents. For analysis of Goal 7.0 and Policies 7.1 through 7.5, see the discussion of the Land Use Element, above.

3. Circulation Element: The Specific Plan is consistent with the Circulation Element of the General Plan and the following goal and policies:
• Policy 4.5: Work with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority to establish bus routes and stops at appropriate locations throughout the City to adequately serve retail, employment, and other public gathering areas. • Policy 5.1: Provide for a citywide Class III bicycle path system consistent with Figure C-4 of the Circulation Element.
• Policy 5.2: Require that bicycle racks and adequate pedestrian facilities be incorporated into new commercial development projects.
• Goal 6.0: Ensure that all development projects provide well-designed parking facilities that are safe, convenient, and attractive.

As further described in Section V. K below, the Specific Plan area includes a bicycle path system, bike racks, an on -site bus stop, and on -site bicycle and pedestrian facilities to encourage mass transit and bicycle transportation and to reduce vehicular trips to the Site .

This Specific Plan also requires landscaped parking lots with adequate lighting and pedestrian circulation plans that ensure that parking facilities will be safe, convenient, and attractive.

4. Safety and Community Services Element : The Specific Plan is consistent with the Safety and Community Services Element of the General Plan and the following goal and policy:
• Goal 7: Minimize the potential damage to structures and loss of life that could result from earthquakes.

10 • Policy 7.1: Continue to implement California Building Code seismic safety standards for construction of new buildings. This contains the most recent seismic requirements for structural design of new development and redevelopment to minimize damage from earthquakes and other geologic activity.

All new buildings would comply with current California Building Code seismic safety standards.
• Goal 16: Protect the community from soil, groundwater, and leachate contamination from the OII site.
• Policy 16.2: Encourage commercial development on the north parcel.

This Specific Plan does not disturb, regulate, or otherwise affect the ongoing remediation and cleanup efforts on the site. The existing Leachate Treatment Plant ( LTP) and Thermal Destruction Facility (TDF) facilities (which are not part of the Monterey Park Market Place) will continue to operate to process contaminants from the South Parcel of the OII site and are exempted from the regulations of this Specific Plan. This exemption applies to both the current LTP and TDF location and any other location in the Specific Plan Area where such facilities ma y be relocated. This Specific Plan will facilitate developing the Market Place property (north parcel) to a beneficial use by permitting the continued development and operation of a regional retail center and encouraging development of commercial and retail- supporting uses, including warehouse and distribution uses, on the existing underutilized site. • Policy 19.5: Require that all non- residential developments provide adequate exterior lighting to promote visibility to deter crime and support law enforcement surveillance efforts.

As set forth in Section V.K. below, development in the Specific Plan area would provide such adequate exterior lighting.

D. SPECIFIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES

1. Introduction. This Section addresses Government Code § 65451, which requires that specific plans include a program for implementation , including regulations, conditions, programs, and additional measures necessary to implement the Specific P lan. The responsibilities and procedures required for implementing the Specific Plan are identified in this S ection, including responsibility for capital improvements and financing and the regulations that will govern its implementation.

The Applicant(s) will finance and/or construct a ll public and private infrastructure improvements to support new development in the Specific Plan area including , without limitation, water mains, sewer trunk lines, dry utilities, and drainage.

11 Each Applicant for an Individual Project must make any unpai d contributions toward maintaining Transportation, Fire, Police, and Library services by paying development impact fees consistent with the requirements of the Specific Plan and Applicable Law.

2. Implementation Schedule . The infrastructure improvements, as determined by the Public Works Director and per the Finance Plan in this S ection, will be matched to meet the needs of each Individual Project.

3. Infrastructure and Public Facilities. Consistent with Applicable Law, this Section provides an overview of the parties involved in the implementation, ownership, and long -term maintenance responsibilities for the private infrastructure and public facilities required to support the Specific Plan Area. Conceptual plans are set forth in Figure 3 (Concept Infrastructure).

4. Financing Plan. The financing and maintenance plan for the Specific Plan ensures the timely completion of public facilities, streets, utilities, and other necessary capital improvements, as well as the proper maintenance of these facilities. The Applicant(s) of Individual Projects will fund needed infrastructure and public facilities , through the following activities:
a. Fund new on-site and off-site public infrastructure and services needed to support the Specific Plan development;
b. Utilize the existing Monterey Park Transportation Improvement Program ( TIP) fee programs to fund required off-site street infrastructure; c. Pay applicable development impact fees to fund other necessary infrastructure and public facilities;
d. Phase on -site improvements to ensure they are constructed when necessary and when funds are available to construct public improvements; and e. Provide for r easonable reimbursements from other development for infrastructure costs that the Specific Plan area is required to advance.

III. OVERVIEW OF LAND USE PLAN
A. DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The Specific Plan provides a framework for developing approximately 63.68-acres in the southeast portion of Monterey Park and an additional nine- acre area of easements owned by SCE. The development is a highway oriented commercial project consisting of approximately 600,000 square feet of commercial uses and/or distribution and warehouse uses, with adequate supporting parking spaces and associated landscaping , inclusive of existing an d proposed

12 development within the Specific Plan Area. Collectively, the Specific Plan Area and SCE easement areas are referred to as the “Site.”
Development may be based on four Conceptual Development Plans, set forth in Section V .D.2, below, or as otherwise allowed under the Specific Plan.

Build-out of the Specific Plan would provide a range of economic, fiscal, and quality of life benefits to the City.

B. LAND USE PLAN
This Specific Plan provides a framework of infrastructure and urban design that will accommodate the wide range of commercial/industrial uses anticipated over the life of the Project while remaining consistent with Monterey Park’s suburban character.

New development of Individual Projects may be based on one of the Conceptual Development Plans ( see Figures 4A, 4B, 4 C, and 4D). Development options other than the Conceptual Development Plans are permissible as set forth in the Specific Plan.

C. GRADING CONCEPT
Grading plans for an Individual Project’s building pads, roadways, pedestrian paths, water, sewer, and other utilities will be developed as needed for each Individual Project . Grading may consist of over excavation of soils beneath proposed buildings, to a depth of three to four feet, to remove unsuitable building material.

Limited import for Individual Projects may be necessary , and is permissible , to stabilize soils depending upon the final geotechnical recommendations of a soils engineer.

All grading must be accomplished pursuant to a Grading Plan that contains the following:
a. Best management practices (BMPs).
b. Non-paved areas must be revegetated or restored promptly after installation of utilities using drought- resistant, fast -growing vegetation that would quickly stabilize exposed ground surfaces. Alternative materials rather than reseeding (e.g., gravel) may be used in accordance with the Director’s direction.
c. Runoff must be conveyed in accordance with the approved site drainage plans. d. Energy dissipaters or similar devices may be required at the end of drainpipe outlets to minimize erosion during storm events.
e. Grading cannot occur during the wet season (November 1-April 15) unless erosion control devices acceptable to the City are implemented.

13 f. Grading must be completed such that permanent drainage away from foundations and slabs is provided and so that water does not pond near proposed structures or pavements.

IV. EXISTING UTILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
The intent of this Section is to ensure that the Specific Plan Area is devel oped to support development of the proposed land uses and that on-site and off-site infrastructure systems have adequate capacity to serve the Project at build-out.

Development of Individual Projects may require improving existing infrastructure and services in the Specific Plan Area. Basic utilities, including, water, sewer, and other utilities already exist on- site.

The Government Code requires that a specific plan include text and diagrams that specify “the proposed distribution, location, and extent and intensity of major components of public and private transportation, sewage, water, drainage, solid waste disposal, energy, and other essential facilities proposed to be located within the area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan.”
This Section of the Specific Plan fulfills this requirement and meets the MPMC requirements for the preparation of specific plans. In addition, this S ection facilitates orderly development by identifying “backbone” utility infrastructure needed to support the proposed development.

A. CIRCULATION
The Specific Plan Area is accessible from Market Place Drive , Potrero Grande Drive , and Paramount Boulevard off the Pomona Freeway. Internal vehicular circulation within the Specific Plan Area is set forth in the conceptual plans (see Figures 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D).

B. WATER SERVICE
Water service is provided by the Monterey Park Water Utility Division and San Gabriel Valley Water District. New development within the Specific Plan Area will be served a s shown in the Concept Infrastructure Plan (see Figure 3).

C. RECLAIMED WATER
Currently there are no recycled water systems in the Specific Plan vicinity.

14 D. WASTEWATER
Wastewater service is currently provided by Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. There is adequate sewer treatment capacity to serve build- out of the Specific Plan Area. The Concept Infrastructure Plan is attached as Figure 3.

E. DRAINAGE
The onsite storm drain system is designed to provide 100% capture during a 25-year storm event (see Figure 3). Detention basin outlets is designed for five-year through 100-year events.

Stormwater conveyance and treatment requirements must meet City and State Water Resources Control Board MS4 Requirements. The treatment types include bioswales, bioretention cells, infiltration trenches, permeable pavement, and/or detention basins , as needed based on the proposed site plan layout.

F. GAS/ELECTRIC/TELECOMMUNICATIONS
Dry utilities are provided by SCE and the Southern California Gas Company (see Figure 3) .

Telecommunications will be provided by Verizon , AT&T, Cox Communications, and/or similar communications entity. No capacity issues are identified by these service providers that would interfere with the build-out of the Specific Plan area.

G. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
Solid waste disposal and recycling will be accomplished consistent with the Section V.I below .

Solid waste disposal is provided by Athens Services.

H. FIRE PROTECTION

Within the main interior parking areas, these lighting poles are to be p laced in every other row of parking aisles . All poles will have a sufficient illumination radius area to cover the aisles and to provide visibility.

25 c. Parking Aisles – The restaurant pads and the home improvement center may have up to 1,000-watt 3-and 2-way or 1-way entablature with 40-foot shoebox poles that are positioned to properly illuminate these areas . Positioning of the interior lights will create an average of three footcandles and not less than two footcandles within all areas of the interior aisles and not less than one footcandle at exterior aisles. d. Boundaries – The use of 400-watt 1-way entablature with 30-foot shoebox poles shall be situated and maintained along the boundaries of the Site or a 2 -way entablature along the main drive aisle that connects Market Place Drive and Greenwood Avenue to serve both the main drive aisle and the adjacent parking. The illumination will not only identify the Project perimeter but also support security measures within the retail center and the parking areas that are located along the boundary of the Site. e. Freeway Boundary – Proper lighting will be placed and maintained along the Pomona Freeway edge of the Site to enhance the development.
f. Illumination Intensity – Light spill beyond parking lots or roadways on the perimeter of the Site may not be greater than 0.5 footcandl es. Light sources must be shielded and focused to reduce visibility from residential areas and the adjacent Pomona Freeway, while maintaining pub lic safety and adequate lighting to ensure sign visibility.
g. Security – All buildings and structures must provide proper lighting fixtures to illuminate the areas at the back of each store and the side of each building to assure proper visibility and security. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Specific Plan, the minimum lighting level for the Specific Plan Area is one footcandle. h.

26 H. SIGNS
A Master Sign Program (MSP) must be submitted for Phase III for Director approval, and must incorporate the MSP for Phase I and II of the development. The MSP must include all exterior signs including the location, type, height, and size of such signs for Phase III. This Section of the Specific Plan sets forth some overall design concepts and philosophy to be further refined by the MSP. The total signage is the Specific Plan Area must substantially conform the following standards.

1. Freestanding Signs – A combination of freestanding signs varying in size and height are proposed to create the initial identity for the Site and the identification of major tenants.

They are located to provide direction for the Specific Plan Area. All characters, letters, logos, and other information on signs must be coordinated in placement, colors, size, and location in conformance to the Specific Plan’s design theme and compatible signage that is comparable with typical regional retail centers. Table 3 reflects the types, numbers and the sizes of the freestanding signs associated with the Project.

27 2. To identify the Site, the following types of signage and their locations reflect the development design concept:
a. Entry Identity Sign – The entry identity signs will be located at the “ grand entrances” leading into the Site. The se signs consist of tenant identification, as well as Project identification. Two entry identity signs , one placed at the main entry located at the southwest corner of Market Place Drive and Paramount Boulevard, and one placed at Potrero Grande Drive and Greenwood Avenue, will highlight the Site entry areas. b. Monument Identity Sign – Up to four monument identity signs will be us ed as key entry signs:
 Up to two monument identity signs will be located at each side of the Market Place Drive entry near Neil Armstrong Street, near the retaining wall and the sidewalks.

These signs will be similar in design , color, and material to the pylon signs described below.
 Up to two more monument identity signs will be positioned close at the western end of the Site.
 Up to eight tenant obelisk signs will be evenly spaced at the Site boundary along the Pomona Freeway. The design and location of these signs is to promote store and Project awareness . The major tenants of the Specific Plan Area may display their own name and/or logo on these si gns. These signs may also include directional information to the Site. Signs will be internally illuminated and may contain accent lighting.
c. Up to three pylon signs will be placed near the southern Site boundary . They will be located approximately 1,000 feet apart from each other. The p ylons may accent the major tenants’ identities for visibility from both sides of the Pomona Freeway. The overpass, the Pomona Freeway curves, and the Pomona Freeway ’s changes in elevation warrant the height of these three signs.
d. One sign is proposed to cover the existing LTP /TDF 60-foot flares. The flares are 10 feet in diameter and are separated b y approximately 20 feet. The sign will have four sides and will reach across both flares. The look of the sign will be consistent with the other proposed project signs . Although the flares are 60 feet tall , the sign will only cover approximately the top 50 feet, given that the grade of the LTP/TDF site will be five to 20 feet below the proposed grade.

3. Wall Signs –Ph
ase III wall signs will be designed to conform to tenant design standards for color. Wall signs will be located on the front elevations of each building and in some instances on secondary elevations.

4. Digital Displays. An y sign permitted by the Specific Plan may include a digital display or electronic message board.

28 5. Sign Limitations – The purpose of the MSP is to ensure that sign designs are appropriate for the buildings, stores , and the surrounding context, contribute to the Spe cific Plan Area’s identity, and are visually attractive. The following limitations denote the Site’s sign approaches and types:
a. Tenant identification sign age may not extend above structure rooflines. b. Freestanding signs must be constructed of both individual channel letters and canned signs (only as tag line s). Wall signs will be constructed of individual channel letters with logos and tag lines, which may be constructed of canned signs with approval by the Director.
c. Signs may display only corporate identity. Secondary signs are allowed to display tenant’s general products or services offered such as: Garden Center, Installation, Pharmacy, etc.
d. Banners are limited to the first 30 days of a store opening within the Specific Plan Area. Additional special event and seasonal sales banners are permitted for a maximum of three times per year for a duration of 45 days each and once per year for a duration of 60 days per tenant. Banners may be approved by sign permit. e. Absent voter approval, all Offsite Signs including , without limitation, billboards , outdoor advertising structures, and electronic message boards, are prohibited pursuant to MPMC § 21.24.220.
f. All signs must comply with the lighting standards above.

I. REFUSE FACILITIES
For proper waste management practices, trash enclosures and/or equipment will be strategically located in the rear of each building, if feasible. Gates must be six-foot-high. Major tenants may have their own waste management areas within their building footprints to maintain the proper visual aesthetics of the Specific Plan Area. Public waste management wi ll be accomplished by placing on -site furniture , such as waste receptacles and ash urns, throughout the Site . To minimize solid waste generated by the Project, the following measures must be implemented:

1. Construction Phase – During Project construction, the following practices must be implemented to the maximum extent feasible:
a. Off-site l ocations for construction waste exported from the Site and options for disposal of excess material should be identified. These options may include recycling of materials on-Site, sale to a broker or contractor, sale to a project in the vicinity , or transport to an environmentally cleared landfill.

29 b. Individual Project applicant s should offer recyclable building materials , such as asphalt or concrete for sale or removal by private firms or public agencies for use in construction of other projects, if all cannot be reused on the Site.

The Applicant(s) must seek approval for timely construction of the Traffic Improvements from all affected public entities, including the City of Montebello and CalTrans. Before the City issues a building permit for an y Individual Project , the Applicant must establish assurances, to the satisfaction of the City Engineer and/or other approving agencies, for the construction of the T raffic Improvements. Before the City issues a final certificate of occupancy, the Applicant must provide improvement design plans satisfactory to the City Engineer and/or other approving agencies and construct all the Traffic Improvements. For any Traffic Improvements under the jurisdiction of the City of Montebello and/or CalTrans that have not been completed before the Applicant seeks its first certificate of occupancy for an Individual Project , the C ity may issue a temporary certificate of occupancy, provided that the A pplicant first provides to the City written documentation confirming that another party committed sufficient funds for the construction of the Traffic Improvements required to be constructed at that time. Should the Applicant fail to provide such confirmation, the Applicant must place adequate funds (as mutually agreed upon by the Project applicant and the applicable entity) to fully construct such improvements in an escrow account to be used only for construction of the o ff-site improvements. Should the applicable entity does not approve plans to construct the off- site improvements within five years from the date the Applicant deposits such funds, any funds not being used to complete planned improvements will be returned to the Applicant.

32 L. PARKING

1. Supersedes MPMC Requirements . Where this Specific Plan contains language or standards that require more parking or permit less parking than the MPMC , this Specific Plan supersedes the MPMC.

2. Parking Requirements . Indi vidual Projects must provide parking in accordance with MPMC requirements for each proposed use, taking into account opportunities for shared parking with other proposed and existing uses and existing parking spaces.

3. Alternative-Fuel ed Vehicles. Preferential parking spaces for alternative -fueled vehicles, including electric vehicles and/or compressed natural gas, must be provided in the Site as required by Applicable Law . A minimum of two spaces must be equipped with vehicle recharging stations with both conductive and inductive charging capabilities. In no event, however, may the Site provide fewer vehicle charging stations than required by Applicable Law.

M. TRIP GENERATION
The Director must confirm that the number of a.m., p.m., and Saturday peak hour and daily trips for a proposed Individual Project , based on a trip generation memorandum prepared by the Applicant’s transportation engineer, to determine whether or not such trips would cause the Trip Cap to be cumulatively exceeded . The Applicant may receive a t rip credit for an existing or previous entitlement and/or use that was or will be discontinued.

Trips for an Individual Project having more than one use will be calculated by adding together the trips generated by the portion of floor area of the Project devoted to each use unless the Director, based on reasonable methods, determines otherwise.

The Applicant’s trip generation memorandum will be based on the then-current Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Handbook, or such alternative rates determined to be appropriate by the Applicant’s transportation engineer and approved by the Director. The determination of trips will reflect diverted and pass-by traffic trips, the effect of interaction of on-site mixed -use development, the proximity of the Project to mass transit facilities, and implementation of other transportation demand management measures.

If the Director disagrees with any of the trip generation factors as applied to an Individual Project, the Applicant may submit a proposed alternative trip generation factor for the Project, along with a traffic generation study prepared by transportation engineer, for review by the Planning Agency. Upon receiving such a study from the Applicant, the Director will cause the City Clerk to schedule a public hearing before the Monterey Park Planning Agency in accordance with the MPMC. Within 45 days after conducting a public hearing, the Planning Agency will issue written

33 findings that approve, disapprove , or conditionally approve the proposed alternative Trip generation factor as the Trip generation factor for the Individual Project.

1. Introduction

1.1 PURPOSE OF MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM
This Mitigation Monitoring Program has been developed to provide a vehicle by which to monitor mitigation measures and conditions of approval outlined in the 2000 Monterey Park Towne Plaza (MPTP) EIR, the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (Draft SEIR), and the Final Supplemental EIR (Final SEIR) (State Clearinghouse No. 1999051058). The Mitigation Monitoring Program has been prepared in conformance with Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code and City of Monterey Park Monitoring Requirements. Section 21081.6 states:
(a) When making findings required by paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 21081 or when adopting a mitigated negative declaration pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 21080, the following requirements shall apply:
(1) The public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the project or conditions of project approval, adopted in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance during project implementation. For those changes which have been required or incorporated into the project at the request of a responsible agency or a public agency having jurisdiction by law over natural resources affected by the project, that agency shall, if so requested by the lead or responsible agency, prepare and submit a proposed reporting or monitoring program.
(2) The lead agency shall specify the location and custodian of the documents or other material which constitute the record of proceedings upon which its decision is based.

The Mitigation Monitoring Program will serve to document compliance with adopted/certified mitigation measures, which are formulated to minimize impacts associated with the construction and operation of the revised Monterey Park Market Place project (proposed project).

1.2 EIR SUMMARY

1.2.1 Previously Proposed 2000 Monterey Park Towne Plaza Site Plan In March 2000, the Final EIR/EIS for the previous project was certified by the City of Monterey Park Planning Commission. The City had the principal responsibility for project approval and acted as the CEQA lead agency as defined by Section 15367 of the CEQA Guidelines. To help with the costs of land acquisition, site cleanup, and required access, the City received a Section 108 Loan Guarantee and an accompanying Economic Development Initiative grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Because of the assistance provided by HUD, the project was subject to National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) review, and HUD was the federal (NEPA) lead agency for the previous project .

The
previous site plan required the demolition of all existing buildings, excluding the LTP, and the leveling of the berm along SR-60 on the southern portion of the site. Contaminated berm soil (with traces of lead) would be removed from the site while the remaining soil would be used to level the site. The previously proposed

Approximately 464,143 square feet of the 515,382 square feet were proposed as retail space (including two anchor stores with garden centers). Another 36,250 square feet were proposed for retail or restaurant pads, and 14,989 square feet were proposed for restaurant space. The previously proposed development would have included 2,971 parking spaces. Table 1-1 shows the previous plan for development.

1.2.2 Proposed Land Uses
The proposed project, the Monterey Park Market Place, revises the previous site plan for the Monterey Park Towne Plaza by increasing the total retail square footage from 515,382 to 600,000. The project site covers a total area of 51.1 acres, 42.1 of which are part of the closed OII Landfill and approximately 9 of which are within existing Southern California Edison (SCE) easements. The proposed project would have similar retail uses, including drive-thru and sit-down restaurants, large anchor retail stores with garden centers, and smaller specialty retail shops. The gas station, as shown as Pad 5 in Table 1-2, is not proposed at this time but may be a future use. Implementation of the gas station at a future time would require permitting by SCAQMD. Table 1-2 summarizes the proposed land uses and the parking demand factor for each type of land use. The proposed land uses require a minimum of 2,333 parking spaces, which would be provided onsite.

1 The parking demand is based on the highest possible parking demand for the proposed project site. 2 The 25,000-square-foot fitness center and the 12,000-square-foot garden center are not shown on the site plan but are included in the total square footage to provide a more conservative parking estimate. If the fitness center option is chosen, it would be built as part of Building D. The second garden center would be built with Building C. The total parking demand is based on the buildout of a fitness center and the 12,000-square-foot garden center in addition to the buildout of Building D and Building C.
3 This range of totals includes Mixed Retail/Restaurant and Bank. If Retail E and G are developed entirely as mixed retail, total retail (nonanchor) square footage would be 22,989. If Retail E and G are developed entirely as restaurants, total retail (nonanchor) square footage would be 3,225. 4 This range of totals includes Mixed Retail/Restaurant, Fast Food Restaurant, and Restaurant uses. If Retail E and G are developed entirely as restaurants, the total restaurant square footage would be 35,764. If Retail E and G are entirely developed as mixed retail, the total restaurant square footage would be 16,000.
5 The gas station is not proposed at this time but may be a future use. Implementation of the gas station at a future time would require permitting by SCAQMD.

Based on the type of commercial business and the various buildout options, anchor stores, including the garden centers, would make up a maximum of 561,011 square feet, nonanchor retail would make up 3,225 to 22,989 square feet, and restaurants would make up 16,000 to 35,764 square feet of the total gross building area.

Although not included with the proposed project, a leachate treatment plant (LTP) and thermal destruction facility (TDF) will continue to operate on the project site. Leachate is a common product of landfills, made of groundwater and the compounds of decomposing material in the landfill. The LTP collects leachate from the south parcel of the OII landfill and treats it. Off-gas is produced during leachate treatment and must be burned in the treatment plant. The LTP directs off-gas to the South Parcel via a 12-inch pipeline, where it is burned along with gas produced in the South Parcel. The TDF structure has two 60-foot high stacks, each approximately 6 feet in diameter. It was constructed after the certification of the 2000 MPTP EIR and improves the leachate treatment process. The structure would be contained by a chain-link fence and public access would be restricted.

1. Introduction

S:\PLANNING\PC\STAFF REPORTS\2012\09-25-12\Market Place Mitigation Monitoring Program.docP:\CMP-02.0E\FEIR\MMP.doc|Printed: 9/17/2012 8:39 AM11/1/2011 10:29 AM Monterey Park Market Place Precise Plan
The proposed project includes the Monterey Park Market Place (MPMP) Precise Plan, which is a required document for development within the Regional-Specialty Center (R-S) Planned Development Overlay Zone to ensure consistency with the Monterey Park General Plan. The purpose of having a precise plan is to describe how the proposed project would meet the requirements of the Planned Development Overlay Zone on the project site; provide the overall design concept for the site; implement the goals, policies, and objectives of the City’s general plan as feasible; and establish the development regulations and framework for the project site.

Detailed building and site development standards and regulations are included in the precise plan, such as architectural themes, building height, and types of permitted businesses. Maximum height of buildings is set in the MPMP Precise Plan and meets the standards of the R-S Planned Development Zone Overlay, which is 50 feet or 4 stories. Architectural features are allowed to project an additional 15 feet above maximum building height with the approval of a conditional use permit. The proposed buildings would be between 30 and 50 feet in height (up to 60 feet with architectural features).

Project Access and Parking
The existing access road for the proposed project site is Greenwood Avenue, which enters the northern boundary of the project site from Potrero Grande Drive. The main road through the development would be named Market Place Drive. This road would be slightly realigned where it enters the project site on the north and then extended toward the east corner of the site. Neil Armstrong Street would no longer intersect Paramount Avenue but would intersect Market Place Drive instead. Market Place Drive would intersect Paramount Avenue east of the project site. With the completion of all roadway improvements, the site would be accessible from both Potrero Grande Drive and Paramount Boulevard off of SR- 60.

Market Place Drive would serve as the main public/private roadway through the retail center and it would allow truck and standard vehicle access. Additional specified truck/service routes would allow access to the buildings to allow for pick-up and delivery of goods. The circulation plan for the project site will identify the primary vehicle, truck/service, and pedestrian access routes on the project site.

Onsite parking is provided based on the parking demand ratio of the proposed land uses per 1,000 square feet of building space, as shown in the far right column in Table 1. A minimum of 2,333 spaces would be provided, including 44 handicapped spaces throughout the site, placed near the entrances for anchor stores, the smaller mixed retail/restaurant stores, and the retail/restaurant pads. Although 2,333 are required, up to 2,386 would be provided, which would result in a surplus of up to 53 parking spaces. All parking lots are aboveground surface lots and would be accessible from Market Place Drive.

Alternate Land Use Scenario: Small-Box Development
An alternative layout to the revised project is also provided for the project site in the event that the project applicant opts to develop a small-box retail shopping center instead of the big-box retail. The small-box alternative would have a reduced total square footage of 500,000 square feet that would include 3 anchors, up to 10 smaller retail stores, and 7 retail pads. The retail anchor stores would line the northern boundary of the project site and retail anchor “E” (110,000 square feet) would have a garden center (30,000 square feet).

The largest anchor, Retail A (140,000 square feet), would be north of the northern Greenwood Avenue (Market Place Drive) entrance. South of Retail A, across Market Place Drive, are Retail stores G through M.

Retail F, which is adjacent to the LTP/TDF, Retail Pad 6, and Retail Pad 7 are all more centrally located on the site and Retail B and C and Retail Pads 1 through 5 share the northern boundary of the site with the anchor stores. Anchor stores would have a total square footage of 321,000, and retail nonanchor stores would have a total square footage between 139,000 and 150,000, depending on whether Retail F is

Restaurants would have a total square footage of between 29,000 and 40,000.

The alternate small-box site plan scenario has the same or similar impacts as the revised project. The general site layout, construction phasing, and public and service demands would be similar between the revised project and the alternate scenario. However, additional traffic analysis was completed for a larger alternate scenario, which is discussed in Section 5.5 of the Draft SEIR and included in the Traffic Impact Assessment (Appendix E1 of the Draft SEIR). In the event that minor adjustments are made to the location and size of buildings in the small-box site plan scenario, the changes must not increase the project-related impacts associated with the small-box site plan scenario. If impact levels are increased, additional environmental analysis would be required. The City would be responsible for ensuring the modifications do not require additional environmental review.

1.3 PROJECT LOCATION
The proposed Monterey Park Market Place is in the southern portion of the City of Monterey Park and borders the City of Montebello. It would be at 2550 Greenwood Avenue, north of SR-60 between the Paramount Boulevard and Potrero Grande Drive freeway exits. The project site is bounded by Southern California Edison (SCE) easements on the northwest and northeast. Beyond the SCE easements are Potrero Grande Drive to the northwest and the Resurrection Cemetery and residential land uses to the northeast and east. Greenwood Avenue accesses the site from the north from Potrero Grande Drive; Neil Armstrong Street intersects Paramount Boulevard to the east of the site.

1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
This document has been prepared as a supplement to a previous Environmental Impact Report as defined by the State CEQA Guidelines (Section 15163, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3).

Specifically, a supplement to the certified EIR has been prepared for the 2000 Monterey Park Towne Plaza (SCH No. 1999051058) . The Draft SEIR has an overall purpose to inform the lead agency, responsible agencies, decision makers, and the general public of the environmental effects of the development and operation of the revised project. The Draft SEIR addressed the potential environmental effects of the revised project, including effects that might be significant and adverse; disclosed effects not found to be significant; disclosed significant cumulative impacts of all past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects; evaluated a number of alternatives to the revised project; and identified mitigation measures to reduce or avoid adverse effects.

1.4.1 Impacts Considered Less Than Significant
As outlined in the Initial Study, prepared on June 16, 2010, the following categories were sufficiently analyzed in the 2000 Monterey Park Towne Plaza EIR and found to be less than significant:
 Agriculture and Forest Resources
 Biological Resources
 Cultural Resources
 Geology and Soils
 Hazards and Hazardous Materials
 Hydrology and Water Quality
 Land Use and Planning
 Mineral Resources
 Population and Housing
 Public Services
 Recreation

1.4.2 Potentially Significant Adverse Impacts That Can Be Mitigated, Avoided, or Substantially Lessened
With project design features and mitigation measures incorporated, the following environmental categories had less than significant impacts:
 Aesthetics
 Noise
 Utilities and Service Systems

1.4.3 Unavoidable Significant Adverse Impacts
With mitigation measures, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic would have significant and unavoidable impacts
Air Quality
Impact 5.2-2
Construction emissions exceed SCAQMD’s regional significance thresholds for NOx and would cumulatively contribute to the SoCAB’s nonattainment designations. Grading emissions would be roughly the same between the 2000 MPTP EIR and the revised MPMP Precise Plan . However, the 2000 MPTP EIR did not identify significant construction emissions because construction activities were compared to screening thresholds and were not modeled. SCAQMD now requires comparison to daily emissions thresholds and new air pollutant models (e.g., URBEMIS) have been released to evaluate construction emissions. Modeling results now show that even with implementation of Mitigation Measures 2-1 and 2-7, impacts from regional air pollutant emissions from construction-related activities would exceed SCAQMD’s regional significance thresholds for NOX as a result of use of heavy construction equipment. Mitigation Measure 2-7 would reduce potentially significant impacts during Phase 1 construction activities to under the significance thresholds; however, construction activities during Phase 2 site preparation would continue to exceed SCAQMD’s regional significance thresholds for NO X. Therefore, impacts are significant and unavoidable. Regional construction emissions impacts are a new significant unavoidable impact not identified in the 2000 MPTP EIR.

Impact 5.2-3
Operational phase emissions exceed SCAQMD’s regional significance thresholds for VOC, NOX, CO, PM10, and PM2.5 and would cumulatively contribute to the SoCAB’s nonattainment designations. The MPMP Precise Plan would exceed the thresholds for VOC, CO, NOX, PM10, and PM2.5. Mitigation Measures 2-8 through 2-17 would reduce operational emissions, to the extent feasible. Criteria air pollutant emissions that exceed SCAQMD’s regional significance thresholds would cumulatively contribute to the NO 2, O3, and particulate matter nonattainment designations of the SoCAB. While air quality impacts were identified in the 2000 MPTP EIR, the MPMP Precise Plan would result in an approximately 5 to 8 percent increase in air quality impacts for most criteria pollutants on weekdays and an approximately 44 percent increase in air quality impacts for most criteria pollutants on weekends, compared to the 2000 MPTP. However, the project would result in a decrease in air quality impacts based on emissions as identified in the 2000 MPTP EIR for CO (weekday only), VOC, and NOx because of updated emission rates used in this SEIR that reflect lower emission rates for vehicles. Further, based on the updated emission factors in the UREMIS2007 model, the revised SEIR analysis has identified additional significant impacts associated with PM10 and PM2.5 that were not identified in the EIR. The increase in air pollutant emissions would exceed the SCAQMD regional thresholds and therefore the magnitude of change is considered to be significant. Modeling based on updated air pollutant emission factors in the URBEMIS2007 model show that VOC, CO, NOX, PM10, and PM2.5 would exceed the significance thresholds for the MPMP Precise Plan. Since emissions of particulate matter (PM 10 and PM 2.5) were not

Consequently, impacts from air pollutant emissions from operational-related activities would be significant and unavoidable.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Impact 5.3-1
Project-related GHG emissions are cumulatively considerable . The MPMP Precise Plan would generate 36,509 metric tons of GHG emissions. While all feasible mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project, the total increase in GHG emissions onsite from the project would still be substantial. The 2000 MPTP EIR did not identify significant impacts related to GHG emissions because GHG emissions were not incorporated into the CEQA Guidelines until March 18, 2010. GHG emissions are higher for the MPMP Precise Plan as a result of a 17 percent increase in building square footage (600,000 square feet compared to 515,382 square feet) and 6 percent increase in average daily vehicle trips (19,719 compared to 18,674) .

Since GHG emissions were not identified before, this is considered a new significant impac t.

Tr
ansportation and Traffic
Impact 5.5-1
Opening Year 2015
Inasmuch as the primary responsibility for approving and/or completing certain improvements located outside the City of Monterey Park lies with agencies other than the City of Monterey Park (i.e., City of Montebello and Caltrans), there is the potential that significant impacts may not be fully mitigated if such improvements are not completed for reasons beyond the City of Monterey Park’s control (e.g., the City of Monterey Park cannot undertake or require improvements outside of Monterey Park’s jurisdiction or the City cannot construct improvements in the Caltrans right-of-way without Caltrans approval). Should that occur, the project’s traffic impact would remain significant.

Impacts that would remain significant and unavoidable from the 2000 MPTP EIR:
 Garfield Avenue/Pomona Boulevard (weekday PM peak)
 Garfield Avenue/Via Campo (weekday PM peak)
 Markland Drive–Vail Drive/Via Campo (weekday PM peak) New significant and unavoidable impacts associated with the MPMP Precise Plan:
 Wilcox Avenue/Via Campo (weekday PM peak)
 Paramount Boulevard/SR- 60 westbound ramps–Market Place Drive (weekday AM peak/weekend midday peak)
 Paramount Boulevard/SR-60 eastbound ramps–Town Center Drive (weekend midday peak)  Paramount Boulevard/Montebello Boulevard (weekday PM peak)  Montebello Boulevard/Beverly Boulevard (weekday PM peak)  Markland Drive/Potrero Grande Drive
 Saturn Street–Greenwood Avenue/Potrero Grande Drive
In addition to the impacts identified above associated with the MPMP Precise Plan, the following additional significant impacts are associated with the small-box alternate scenario:
 Markland Drive/Vail Avenue/Via Campo (weekday AM peak)

Inasmuch as the primary responsibility for approving and/or completing certain improvements located outside the City of Monterey Park lies with agencies other than the City of Monterey Park (i.e., City of Montebello and Caltrans), there is the potential that significant impacts may not be fully mitigated if such improvements are not completed for reasons beyond the City of Monterey Park’s control (e.g., the City of Monterey Park cannot undertake or require improvements outside of Monterey Park’s jurisdiction or the City cannot construct improvements in the Caltrans right-of-way without Caltrans approval). Should that occur, the project’s traffic impact would remain significant.

Impacts that would remain significant and unavoidable from the 2000 MPTP EIR:
 Wilcox Avenue/Pomona Boulevard (weekday PM peak)
 San Gabriel Boulevard–Paramount Boulevard/Hill Drive (weekday PM peak) The following intersections would be new significant and unavoidable traffic impacts associated with the MPMP Precise Plan:
 Garfield Avenue/Pomona Boulevard (weekday AM and PM peak)  Garfield Avenue/Via Campo (weekday PM peak hour)
 Markland Drive–Vail Avenue/Via Campo (weekday PM peak)  Paramount Boulevard/SR-60 westbound ramps–Market Place Drive (weekday AM and PM peak/weekend midday peak)
 Paramount Boulevard/SR-60 eastbound ramps (weekday PM peak/weekend midday peak)  Paramount Boulevard/Montebello Boulevard (weekday AM and PM peak)  Montebello Boulevard/Beverly Boulevard(weekday PM peak) The following intersection would be a new and significant and unavoidable traffic impact from the MPMP Precise Plan. Mitigation for impacts to this intersection was determined to be infeasible due to right-of-way constraints.
 Wilcox Avenue/Via Campo (weekday AM and PM peak)
In addition to the impacts identified above associated with the MPMP Precise Plan, the following additional significant impacts are associated with the small-box alternate scenario:
 Paramount Boulevard/SR-60 eastbound ramps (weekday AM peak/weekend midday peak) However, the small-box alternate scenario would have less than significant impacts at the following intersections:
 Markland Drive–Vail Avenue/Via Campo (weekday PM peak)  Paramount Boulevard/SR-60 eastbound ramps (weekday PM peak/weekend midday peak)

2. Mitigation Monitoring Process

2.1 MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM ORGANIZATION
CEQA requires that a reporting or monitoring program be adopted for the conditions of project approval that are necessary to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment (Public Resources Code 21081.6).

The mitigation monitoring and reporting program is designed to ensure compliance with adopted mitigation measures during project implementation. For each mitigation measure recommended in the Environmental Impact Report, specifications are made herein that identify the action required and the monitoring that must occur. In addition, a responsible agency is identified for verifying compliance with individual conditions of approval contained in the Mitigation Monitoring Program (MMP). In order to effectively track and document the status of mitigation measures, a mitigation matrix has been prepared and includes:
 Responsibility for implementation
 Timing
 Responsibility for monitoring
 Monitor
Mitigation measure timing of verification has been apportioned into several specific timing increments. Of these, the most common are:
 Prior to project approval
 Prior to issuance of grading permit(s)
 During construction
Information pertaining to compliance with mitigation measures or any necessary modifications or refinements will be documented in the comments portion of the matrix.

Supplement to the Certified 2000 EIR Mitigation Monitoring Program Since this is a supplemental EIR, the MMP for this project modifies the previously adopted MMP for the Monterey Park Towne Plaza (March 2000). The MMP for the SEIR includes the revised and new mitigation measures for the proposed project. Where appropriate, the timing and responsible agency information from the 2000 MMP has been retained.

2.2 MITIGATION MONITORING PROCEDURES
The City of Monterey Park Development Services Department is the designated lead agency for the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The City of Monterey Park includes the Mitigation Measures within the Special Conditions of Approval. The City is responsible for review of all monitoring reports, enforcement actions, and document disposition. The Community Development Department shall designate a Project Mitigation Monitor for the proposed project.

2.2.1 In-Field Monitoring
The Responsible Monitoring Party shall exercise caution and professional practices at all times when monitoring construction. Protective wear (hard hats, glasses, etc.) shall be worn at all times in construction areas. Injuries shall be reported immediately to the Project Mitigation Monitor.

2.2.2 Coordination with Contractors
The construction manager/superintendent is responsible for coordination of contractors and for contractor completion of required measures in accordance with the provisions of this program.

2.2.3 Recognized Experts
The use of recognized experts as a component of the monitoring team is required to ensure compliance with scientific and engineering mitigation measures. While the recognized experts assess compliance with required mitigation measures, consultation with the City of Monterey Park planning staff shall take place in the event of a dispute.

2.2.4 Enforcement
Agencies may enforce conditions of approval through their existing police power, using stop-work orders, fines, infraction citations, loss of entitlements, refusal to issue building permits or certificates of use and occupancy or, in some cases, notice of violation for tax purposes. Criminal misdemeanor sanctions could be available where the agency has adopted an ordinance requiring compliance with the monitoring program, similar to the provision in many zoning ordinances that affirm the enforcement power to bring suit against violators of the ordinances.

3. Mitigation Monitoring Requirements

3.1 CATEGORIZED MITIGATION MEASURES/MATRIX
Project-specific mitigation measures and project design features (PDFs) have been categorized in matrix format, as shown in Table 3-1. The matrix identifies the environmental factor, specific mitigation measures, schedule, and responsible monitor. The mitigation matrix will serve as the basis for scheduling the implementation of, and compliance with, all mitigation measures.

A supplemental EIR only discusses new environmental impacts that would result from a change in the project description between the original and revised projects and it only needs to contain the information necessary to make the previous EIR adequate for the project as revised (CEQA Guidelines Section 15163). To avoid certain environmental impacts, the City of Monterey Park has included certain PDFs, which are considered part of the proposed project. The PDFs are mandatory and will be adopted by the City of Monterey Park as part of the project’s conditions of approval. Both the PDFs and mitigation measures are part of the MMP to be implemented by the City of Monterey Park. To provide a complete matrix that may be used for monitoring and enforcement, this mitigation monitoring program includes mitigation measures and project design features associated with the new impacts caused by the proposed project, as well as all mitigation measures which remain effective from the previously certified 2000 MPTP EIR.

3.2 LONG-TERM MONITORING
Long-term monitoring related to several mitigation measures will be required, including fire safety inspections.

Postconstruction fire inspections are conducted on a routine basis by the City of Monterey Park Fire Department.
