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:
Severability. 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:
Electronic 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:
Publications. 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:
Recording. 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:
Effective Date. This Ordinance becomes effective on the 30 th day following its passage and adoption.

1 I. INTRODUCTION
This Monterey Park Market Place Specific Plan ( Specific Plan) was prepared in conformity with Government Code § 65451, et seq . Together with zoning regulations adopted by the Monterey Park Municipal Code ( MPMC) and other A pplicable Law (defined below), this Specific Plan sets forth the regulations for the development and operation of the Monterey Park Market Place project (Project or the Market Place).
Pursuant to Government Code § 65450, a specific plan must include text and a diagram or diagrams, which specify all of the following in detail:
• The distribution, location, and extent of the uses of land, including open space within the area covered by the plan.
• The proposed distribution, location, 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 land area covered by the plan and needed to support the land uses described in the plan. • Standards and criteria by which development will proceed, and standards for the conservation, development, and utilization of natural resources, where applicable. • A program of implementation measures , including regulations, programs, public works projects and financing measures necessary to carry out the above items. • A discussion of the relationship of the Specific Plan to the General Plan.
This Specific Plan is compatible and consistent with the goals and policies outlined in the City of Monterey Park’s General Plan (General Plan). This Specific Plan will further the goals and policies of the General Plan as more fully described below.
This Specific Plan was prepared to provide the essential relationship between the policies of the General Plan and actual development in the Project area. By functioning as a regulatory document, the Specific P lan provides a means of implementing the General Plan. All future development within the Specific Plan boundaries must be consistent with the standards set forth in this document.
A. SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
This Specific Plan regulates real property (a triangular-shaped parcel consisting of approximately
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) Resolution 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, approv ing 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, t he Monterey Park Market Place does not contain any hazardous materials and consists of two distinct area s. 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 intensit y, 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 architectural 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 gr owth 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 p rocess 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 may 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 Section, 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 reasonable r eimbursements 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 t hat 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 r equired 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 S ection is to ensure that the Specific Plan Area is developed 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
The Monterey Park Fire Department provides fire protection services in the Specific Plan Are a and has adequate personnel, equipment, and facilities to serve the Specific Plan Area.
I. POLICE SERVICES
The Monterey Park Police Department provides police protection services in the Specific Plan Area and has adequate personnel, equipment, and facilities to serve the Specific Plan Area.
V. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The purpose of this Section is to provide development standards for review and approval by the Director of Individual Projects proposed for construction within the Specific Plan Area. Such
15 standards include permitted uses, materials , tenant storefronts, l ighting, landscaping, signs , colors, parking, setbacks, building height, as well as access and circulation.

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. These signs consist of t enant 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 signs. 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 –Pha
se 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. Any 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 Specific Plan Area’s identity, and are visually attractive. The following limitations denote the Site’s sign approaches and types:
a. Tenant identification signa ge 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 , b illboards, 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.

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 Applicant 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 . Individ ual 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-Fueled 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 prev
ious 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.
Trans
portation 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. Mitigation Monitoring Process
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
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.

MM 3.5-2 Installation of both gas collection wells and foundation support piles will generate potentially hazardous waste contaminated with lead and petroleum-based products. Therefore, all installations shall be done by personnel trained and certified to conduct work in hazardous materials. A Work Plan, along with a Health and Safety Plan, shall be prepared and submitted to the regulatory agencies with jurisdiction for approval prior to beginning work. Air monitoring shall be conducted during drilling operations to insure that workers are not exposed to inhalation of potentially hazardous materials. In addition, all materials excavated during drilling operations shall be collected, handled and disposed of in accordance with applicable hazardous waste regulations. Use of “driven” piles shall eliminate the generation of, and thus exposure to, hazardous waste associated with drilling.
For areas of the project site outside the landfill area, risk based remediation shall be considered. It is also possible that passive remediation techniques (natural attenuation, bio-venting, or others) can be applied with regulatory agency approval. Application of these remediation techniques for impacted soils could eliminate the need to excavate and transport contaminated soil to the landfill, and thus reduce the potential for adverse impacts.
Differential settlement of the landfill surface has the potential to rupture lateral collection pipes or sever connections to monitoring probes. Proposed inspection procedures for passive gas collection system must insure proper operation of this system. In addition to risers, the inspection system must insure the structural integrity of collection lateral pipes. Periodic injection and extraction tests should be conducted to determine actual flow continuity and confirm sensor operation.

None of the elements set forth in Public Resources Code § 21166 or CEQA Guidelines § 15162 exists. Accordingly, no subsequent or supplemental Environmental Impact Report, Mitigated Negative Declaration or Addendum is required to be prepared before adopting the Project. The Notice of Consistency is attached as Exhibit “B,” and incorporated by reference. Implementation of mitigation measures identified in the SEIR will be monitored as called for in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program adopted on December 19, 2012.
SECTION 5. Notic
e of Determination. The C ity Manager, or designee, is directed to fi le a notice of determination in accordance with CEQA §§ 21152, 21167(f); CEQA Guidelines § 15094; and any other applicable law.
SECTION 6. Public
Benefits. The Development Agreement provides for public benefits including, without limitation:
A. The Projec
t will promote the public convenience, health, interest, safety, or welfare of the City and will not adversely affect the orderly development of property or the preservation of property values. Among other things, the Amended and Restated Development Agreement provides for a high- quality
City of Monterey Park
Ordinance No. XXXX
mixed-use development, while preserving the City’s authority to impose health and safety regulations on the Project. The Monterey Park Market Place facilitates the utilization of a key site within the City strategically placed near the 60 Freeway to attract significant national and regional tenants and which is anticipated to attract and generate additional jobs and economic activity in the City, thereby preserving or raising adjacent property values and generating significant additional revenue for the City in the form of additional sales tax and/or property tax.
B. The Project facilitates the development of the Monterey Park Market Place development on an underutilized site within the City and includes provisions intended to ensure that such development will be of high- quality architectural design with successful and high-quality tenants. It also permits construction of a significant commercial/distribution/warehouse project on a site designated in the General Plan for such a project.
C. A public benefits fee of at least $25,000 per year during the term of the Development Agreement (up to $175,000 annually during the term) that may be utilized by the City for any purpose.
SECTION 7. Incorpor
ation of Amended and Restated Development Agreement ;
Changes; Execution. In accordance with Government Code §§ 65864, et seq. this Ordinance approves the Amended and Restated Development Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit “ A,” and incorporated into this Ordinance by reference.
A. The Amended and R
estated Development Agreement may be changed
before execution as authorized by the City Council during the public hearings for the Project.
B. The Amended and Restated Development Agreement may be changed before execution for minor clarifications and technical, clerical, corrections as approved by the City Attorney including, without limitation, completion of references, status of planning approvals, and completion and conformity of all exhibits to the Amended and Restated Development Agreement.
C. The City Council authorizes the Mayor to execute the Amended and Restated Development Agreement on the City’s behalf in a form approved by the City Attorney . The City Manager, or designee, is authorized to execute amendments or operating memoranda as permitted by the Amended and Restated Development Agreement, in a form approved by the City Attorney.
SECTION 8. Constr
uction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of
City of Monterey Park
Ordinance No. XXXX
this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.
SECTION 9. Enforc
eability. Repeal of any provision of the Monterey Park Municipal Code does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before this Ordinance’s effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 10.
Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations 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 11.
Limitations. 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 12.
Severability. 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 13.
Electronic 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 14.
Publications. 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 15.
Recording. 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.

Developer takes notice pursuant to Government Code § 66020(d) that City is imposing exactions upon the Project in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code § 66000, et seq.). Developer is informed that it may protest exactions in accordance with Government Code § 66020.
K. Term of Map(s) and Other Conditions of Approval.

7. OPERATING MEMORANDA.
A. The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of the Agreement require a close degree of cooperation and that new information and future events may demonstrate that changes are appropriate with respect to the details of performance of the Parties under this Agreement. The Parties desire, therefore, to retain a certain degree of flexibility with respect to the details of performance for those items covered in general terms under this Agreement. If and when, from time to time, the Parties find that refinements or adjustments are desirable, such refinements or adjustments will be accomplished through operating memoranda or implementation agreements approved by the Parties which, after execution, will be attached to this Agreement as addenda and become a part hereof.
B. Execution of Memoranda. Operating memoranda or implementation agreements may be executed on behalf of City by the City Manager and the City Attorney. In the event a particular subject requires notice or hearing, such notice or hearing will be appropriately given. Any modification to the terms of performance under this Agreement, other than a Minor Change, will be processed as an amendment of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement and must be approved by the City Council
8. DEVELOPER’S RIGHTS. Developer has and is vested with the right, during the term of this Agreement, including any extensions, to develop the Project as set forth in the Specific Plan.
9. MATERIAL PROJECT MODIFICATIONS. Developer may apply to City for permits, variances, or other approvals to develop portions of the Project in a manner which may be materially inconsistent with the Specific Plan. In such event, such portions of the Project may be reviewed and approved pursuant to the rules, regulations, and procedures of City in effect at the time Developer makes application to City for such development, and to the extent any such application is inconsistent with this Agreement, such application must include an application to amend this Agreement.
10. NON-APPLICATION OF CHANGES IN APPLICABLE LAW. City’s subsequent adoption of any applicable general or specific plan, zoning, subdivision, or building regulation after the Effective Date of this Agreement, or any change in, or addition to, the Applicable Law (other than changes in Processing Fees as provided in this Agreement) including, without limitation, any changes in the General Plan or zoning regulations (including any regulation relating to the timing, sequencing, or phasing of the Project or construction of all or any part of the Project),
adopted after the Effective Date of this Agreement including, without limitation, any such change by means of ordinance, initiative, resolution, motion, policy, order or moratorium, initiated or instituted for any reason whatsoever and adopted by any board, agency, commission or department of City, or by the electorate, as the case may be, which would, absent this Agreement, otherwise be applicable to the Project and which would conflict in any way with or be more restrictive than the Applicable Law or Developer’s entitlements under the Specific Plan, may not be applied to the Project during the term of this Agreement unless such changes constitute a change in Uniform Codes.
11. DISCRETIONARY APPROVALS. City will not require Developer to obtain any approvals or permits for the development of the Project in accordance with this Agreement other than those permits or approvals that are required by the Specific Plan or Applicable Law. However, any subsequent Discretionary Approval initiated by Developer that is not permitted by the Specific Plan or Applicable Law are subject to all applicable law then in effect. Approval of any off-site signs, digital signs, or signs otherwise not permitted pursuant to the MPMC and Applicable Law is not authorized by the Specific Plan and is not considered (for purposes of this Agreement) part of the Project.
12. TIMING OF DEVELOPMENT. To the maximum extent permitted by law, it is the Parties’ express intention that the Project will not be subject to any subsequently enacted initiative or ordinances adopted in response to an initiative which in conflict with the Specific Plan, Conditions of Approval and/or this Agreement including, without limitation, any subsequently enacted initiative or ordinance adopted regarding consistency with the Project and/or Conditions of Approval with the General Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, it is the further intention of the parties that development of the Property be exempt from any subsequently enacted initiative or ordinances adopted in response to an initiative or City Council action that limits the number of building permits which may be issued in any year or otherwise seeks to limit the Developer’s development plan. Because the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v.
City of Camarillo (1984) 37 Cal.3d 465, that the failure of the parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later-adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over the parties’ agreement, it is the parties’ intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that, subject to any infrastructure phasing requirements that may be required by the Conditions of Approval, Developer may (without obligation) develop the Property in such order and at such rate and at such times as Developer deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment. Notwithstanding this total exemption of the Property from local ordinances regulating the number of building permits which may be issued per year, if there is a judicial determination as a result of proceedings instituted by anyone not a party to this Agreement that the Property is subject to a subsequently adopted ordinance or initiative regulating the number of building permits which may be issued, then Developer shall be entitled to construct the amount of square feet of Project Buildings specified in the Conditions of Approval. As a material part of this Agreement, City agrees that it will not (except as otherwise specifically authorized herein) determine, or seek to have a judicial determination made, that the Property is subject to any subsequently enacted ordinance or initiative regulating the number of building permits which may be issued in any year. This commitment is necessary and in the best interests of the parties in order to provide the open space, parks, public facilities
infrastructure necessary to meet the requirements of the Conditions of Approval, if any, and the needs of City.
13. PERMITTED USES. Permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of such uses, the maximum heights and sizes of the Project Buildings and improvements to be constructed on the Property, and the reservation and dedication of land for public purposes, if any, required in connection with the development of the Property are as set forth in and consistent with the Specific Plan, and this Agreement does not authorize construction of any building or improvement exceeding the maximum density or building heights set forth in or otherwise required by the Specific Plan, as it may be lawfully amended by Developer from time to time.
14. COVENANTS RUNNING WITH THE LAND. As of the Effective Date for any portion of the Property and continuing for the Term provided in this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are enforceable by the Parties as equitable servitudes affecting such portion of the Property, constituting covenants running with such portion pursuant to California law including, without limitation, Civil Code § 1468. Each covenant herein to act or refrain from acting is for the benefit of or a burden upon such portion of the Property, run with such portion, and be binding upon Developer and the successors and assigns of Developer during their respective ownerships of such portion of the Property.
15. 2013 AGREEMENT. Upon full execution of this Agreement by the Parties, the 2013 Agreement is superseded in its entirety and is of no further force or effect.
16. OBLIGATIONS OF CITY. In consideration of Developer entering into this Agreement, City agrees to the following with respect to the development of the Property:
A. Processing. City recognizes that expeditious processing of ministerial permits and approvals and discretionary actions, if any, and any other approvals or actions required for the Project can be helpful to the Project. In recognition of this value, City agrees to reasonably cooperate with Developer to establish time frames for processing and reviewing such ministerial permits and approvals and discretionary actions and to comply with any timeframes established in the Conditions of Approval.
