AGENDA REPORT

Department: Engineering/Public Works
Prepared by: Stephen Manganiello, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2024
Approved by: Benjamin A. Martinez, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Approval of the Fourth Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Metro Wastewater Joint Powers Authority as a Participating Agency of the Metro Wastewater JPA.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, authorizing the Mayor to execute the Fourth Amendment to the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for the Metro Wa stewater Joint Powers Authority which Amends Sections 3.02 and

3.05 of the Joint Powers Agreement as a Participatin g Agency of the Metro Wastewater Joint Powers Authority.”

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

The City of National City is a member of the Metro Wastewater Joint Powers Authority (Metro JPA) which was created to provide a common voice for all of the participating agencies in the region who transmit wastewater flow to the City of San Diego for treat ment at the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Metro JPA agreement requires some clean up and minor adjustments to keep the organization reflective of the recent organizational assessment.

This proposed Fourth Amendment makes two (2) Amendments to the joint powers agreement to reflect updates in officers for the Metro JPA.

Amendment 1 amends Section 3.02, Treasurer and Auditor, by expanding the definition to allow the Metro JPA Board to appoint anyone authorized by the Joint Powers Law to be Tre asurer / Auditor, whereas currently the language of the JPA only allows the Finance Manager or Director to one of the Participating Agencies to be designated as the Treasurer / Auditor.

Amendment 2 amends Section 3.05 by striking the provision that requires the Metro JPA’s Legal Advisor to also be counsel to one of the Participating Agencies. This strikeout is proposed to avoid potential or perceived conflicts of interest, although it does not preclude the Metro JPA’s legal advisor from also being Legal Counsel to one of the Participating Agencies.

Neither Amendment changes either of the current appointments for Treasurer/Auditor or Legal Advisor.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Administrative Services - Human Resources Prepared by: Lydia Flores-Hernandez, Human Resources Director Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2024
Approved by: Benjamin A. Martinez, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Approving Job Classifications and Proposed Salary Schedule

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution Entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Creating Two (2) New Job Classifications for the Roles of Emergency Manager and Fire Division Chief, Revising the Community Services Officer Job C lassification, and Amending the Management Compensation Plan Salary Schedule.”

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

The Civil Service Commission approved the two (2) new job descriptions and updating of one existing classification description at their meeting on March 27, 2024.

EXPLANATION:

The National City Fire Department (NCFD) has been a cornerstone of our community's safety and emergency response for many years. As the needs and demands of emergency management continue to evolve, it is imperative that our department remains adaptable and well -equipped to address any challenges that may arise. In alignment with this commitment, the proposal to establish new classifications for Emergency Manager and Fire Division Chief positions has been developed.

The Emergency Manager position is designed to address the increasing complexity and frequency of emergencies, including natural disasters, technological accidents, and other emergencies that may impact our community. This role will be responsible for developing comprehensive emergency management plans, coordinating response efforts with other agencies, and ensuring our depa rtment's readiness to effectively respond to any situation. With the rise in extreme weather events and other emergencies, having a dedicated Emergency Manager will enhance our department's ability to mitigate risks and protect the lives and property of ou r citizens. It is recommended to create the Management Salary Band of $100,318.40 annually to $121,950.40 annually.

The Fire Division Chief position will provide strategic leadership and oversight, either over the Community Risk Reduction Division or the Operations Division of the Fire Department. When assigned to the Community Risk Reduction Division, this role will be re sponsible for supervising fire prevention operations, implementing training programs, ensuring compliance with relevant codes and standards. When overseeing the Operations Division, this role will be responsible for the supervision and management of all of the emergency readiness and response operations of the department. The Division Chief will fill in and assume the responsibilities of the Fire Chief during their absence. By establishing this position, we aim to enhance operational efficiency,

promote professional development among our personnel, and maintain the highest standards of service delivery. It is recommended to create the Management Salary Band of $142,741.05 annually to $184,143.83 annually.

The establishment of these new classifications reflects our department's commitment to proactive planning, professional development, and community safety. By investing in these leadership roles, we will enhance our capacity to respond to emergencies, protect our citizens, and uphold the mission of the National City Fire Department.

The Police Department recently recruited for the position of Community Services Officer and determined that current Police Cadets, Police Explorers and youth in the community were unable to meet the minimum qualifications for t heir Community Services Officer position. The Human Resources Department and Police Department determined that the previous qualifications limited the number of candidates for this position. It is recommended that the job description be revised to allow those candidates with varied qualifications to apply and be considered for this position.

As changes are made to salaries or classifications, the City is required to adopt a revised salary schedule in a public meeting. The attached salary schedule meets the California Public Employees Retirement Systems (CalPERS) pay rate reporting requirements in accordance with Government Code Section 20636 defining “Compensation Earnable” and the California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 570.5.

NCMEA is supportive of the revision to the existing classification.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

A budget adjustment of $24,395 was approved by the City Council on April 2, 2024 as part of the mid-year budget status report to cover the estimated Fiscal Year 2024 cost of the reclassifications.

The annual ongoing cost of $79,000 will be reflected in the Fiscal Year 2025 proposed budget for the Fire Department.

Planning Commission
Meeting of April 1, 2024

Staff Recommendation
Staff is recommending approval of the Zone Variance (variance) request, subject to the recommended conditions in the attached resolution and a determination that the project is exempt from CEQA.

Executive Summary
The app licant proposes to construct a 3- story, 1,757 square- foot single- family residence on an existing 2,285 square-foot lot adjacent to Interstate 805. Due to the size and shape of the lot, a variance is being requested for the minimum lot area, maximum stories, and side and rear yard setbacks for the Small Lot Residential (RS-2) zone. In addition, the applicant is requesting tandem parking and parking in the front yard setback area.

Site Characteristics
The project site is comprised of a 2,285 square-foot vacant parcel located on East 4th Street. The triangular-shaped lot is a remnant parcel from the right -of-way acquisitions for the construction of Interstate 805. The lot is of a substandard size and shape for the RS -2 zone and would not allow for the construction of a home without the granting of a variance. There is 50 feet of street frontage along East 4th Street on the north side of the lot, approximately 106 feet of frontage along the angled portion of the lot abutting Caltrans right-of-way to the south and west, and the lot is approximately 91 feet deep along its eastern boundary. Both the size and shape of the lot result in a constrained buildable area when required setbacks are accounted for. The property has an existing driveway and curb cut that is proposed to be used for the new home. The property is zoned RS-2 and has a Low-Medium Density Residential General Plan designation. Staff would like to note that the pending Focused General Plan Update proposes to rezone this property to the Minor Mixed -Use Corridor (MXC -1) zone, which would significantly alter the development standards of the site. Staff has concluded that a variance would still be needed for parking in a setback area should the new zone be approved.

Proposed Project
The applicant is proposing to construct a single-family residence with an attached one-car garage on a vacant lot . No accessory dwelling units are proposed. The 1,757 square- foot residence is planned to be three stories in height with the upper level having 519 square feet of living space. The front yard setback and side yard setback abutting Interstate 805 will be met. However, the applicant is requesting a reduced interior yard setback and rear yard setback. Due to the irregular lot shape, the rear lot line from which the setback is measured is

Planning Commission
Meeting of April 1, 2024

approximately 21 feet closer than the “point” of the triangle. In addition to height and setbacks, the applicant is requesting to have a parking space in front of the one-car garage. This would result in tandem parking, which is when vehicles are parked end- to-end, and parking in the front yard setback area. Neither are permitted in the Land Use Code for the RS -2 zone. The location of the parking is also part of the variance request.

Analysis

General Plan
This project contributes to infill development, which is encouraged by the General Plan:

Policy LU 4.3: Promote infill development, redevelopment, rehabilitation, and reuse efforts that contribute positively to existing neighborhoods and surrounding areas.

The proposal also provides an additional home ownership opportunity, which is consistent with the City’s Housing Element.

The land use designation for the subject property is Low -Medium Density Residential, which allows for a density of up to nine dwelling units per acre. While the proposed development of the lot would result in a density of over 19 dwelling units per acre, the underlying zone permits at least one single- family residence per lot. Overall density in the vicinity is tempered by a larger average lot size and the abutting freeway.

Land Use Code
The Land Use Code (LUC) includes development standards by zone as well as general standards for all districts . For the RS -2 zone, there are standards for minimum lot area, s etbacks, and maximum height among others . Design standards for off -street parking and loading affect the City as whole. The proposed single-family residence would not meet several requirements within the LUC and is requesting a zone variance to deviate from the prescribed rules.

As discussed above, the 2,285 square- foot property is irregularly -shaped and logically presents challenges to the development of a single-family residence that would not exist on an ordinary lot . The minimum lot area required by the LUC for the RS -2 zone is 5,000 square feet . With the development of the abutting

Planning Commission
Meeting of April 1, 2024

freeway, the lot has been reduced in size and shape and has remained in a vacant state for several decades. A ll other lots on this street in the same block exceed the minimum lot size. The request for a variance for a reduced minimum lot area would allow for the development of a lot that woul d otherwise have little practical use.

Setbacks requirements for the RS -2 zone include a 20- foot front yard setb ack, five-foot side yard setbacks, and a 25- foot rear yard setback. In order to construct the proposed residence, the applicant is requesting a reduced (four - foot) interior yard setback on the east side of the property and a reduced (14- foot) rear yard setback on the south side of the property. Irregular -shaped lots have a modified definition of a “rear lot line” that further impacts this property.

The applicant’s plans show a three- foot deviation from the required rear-yard setback. However, staff measurements indicate the requested setback is approximately 14 feet, which is noted in the attached exhibit (Exhibit A-Revised).

The requested deviation from setback rules is minimized by the design of the proposed structure. Each level ranges in s ize form 519 square feet of liv able space on the first floor to 719 square feet on the second floor. Due to the smaller floor plans, the applicant is proposing a third floor comprised of 534 square feet of living space. This third floor exceeds the maximum number of stories (two) within the RS-2 zone, but does not exceed the overall height limit of 35 feet. The variance request for a third floor would allow for more practical living space within the proposed building footprint.

In addition to the requests for modified building standards for the proposed single-family residence, the applicant is also requesting a variance for the location of parking spaces on the property. Generally, one covered space and one uncovered space is required for new single- family residences. The applicant is proposing to have a one- car garage in conformance with zoning requirements.

However, there is no practical location for an uncovered space due to the size of the lot . The applicant proposes to locate the uncovered space in front of the attached garage, which would result in the creation of tandem parking and an encroachment into the front yard setback.

Mailing
All property owners and occupants within 300 feet are required to be notified of a public hearing for a CUP application. Notice of this public hearing was sent to 18 occupants and owners.

Meeting of April 1, 2024

Department Comments
Comments were provided by the Fire Department related to standard requirements for new developments. No other comments were received. The Fire Department comments have been incorporated as conditions of approval.

Public Comment
No public comments were received as of the writing of this staff report.

Findings for Approval
The Municipal Code contains three required findings for Zone Variances as follows:

1. Variances from the terms of Title 18 shall be granted only when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of Title 18 deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification.

The property is less than half the minimum lot size required in the zone, which restricts the normal buildable area afforded standard- sized lots. Furthermore, the triangular shape of the lot modifies the shape of the area that could be developed. Given the size and shape of the lot, there is no room to build a residence of a typical size with appropriate parking without encroaching into the required property setbacks and exceeding the maximum height of two stories.

2. Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated.

Instances exist of properties within the RS -2 that do not meet the same zoning regulations for which the applicant is requesting relief. Developed properties with less than 5,000 square feet of lot area east of Interstate 805 are not common, but they do exist along the freeway and Division Street. There are also several properties with irregular shapes that do not conform to setback regulations.

Instances of reduced setbacks also occur within reverse corner lots and within entire subdivisions abutting topographic variations. Single- family residences that do not meet the maximum height are found throughout National City. Notably, several Victorian- style mansions incorporate a third story. The RS -2 zone also includes houses of every decade of construction since the 1880s. A large

Planning Commission
Meeting of April 1, 2024

number of these residences were developed prior to regulations restricting tandem parking and parking in the front yard setback. Residents commonly park vehicles in a manner similar to the request made by the applicant.

3. A variance shall not be granted for a parcel of property which authorizes a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the parcel of property.

The request is to construct a single-family home, which is a permitted use in the RS-2 zone. The property is also required to have at least two parking spaces per the LUC, which the applicant intends to provide. Parking in and of itself is required and allowed in all zones throughout the City.

One additional finding is required for this project:

4. The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The proposed project has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined to be categorically exempt from environme ntal review pursuant to Class 3, Sect ion 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) for which a Notice of Exemption will be filed subsequent to approval of this Zone Variance . Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures among other similar projects. One single -family residence, or up to three single- family residences in an urbanized area are explicitly provided for under this exemption. The proposed project is to construct one single-family residence.

Conditions of Approval
Standard Conditions of Approval related to new development projects are included as well as comments from the Fire Department . An additional condition requests an updated site plan in conformance with the revised Exhibit A.

Summary
The proposed single-family residence is a permitted use for which the applicant is requesting several variances. The lot has a size and shape that would make it impractical to construct an ordinary single -family residence in conformance with applicable regulations within Land Use Code. Staff is recommending approval of

the variance request for reduced lot area, reduced setbacks, increased height, and the location of parking spaces subject to the Conditions of Approval.

Analysis
• PROPOSAL CONSISTENT WITH GENERAL PLAN
• Infill development encouraged
• LU-4.3: Promote infill development, redevelopment, rehabilitation, and reuse efforts that contribute positively to existing neighborhoods and surrounding areas. • Proposal provides an additional home ownership opportunity • Zoning permits at least one single-family residence per lot. Overall density limited by abutting freeway (approximately width of 375 feet).

Analysis (cont.)
• LAND USE CODE (LUC)
• RS-2 zone and general development standards
• 5,000 square-foot minimum lot area (2,285 requested)
• Size and shape result of freeway construction
• 20-foot front yard setback
• No parking in street-facing setbacks (0 requested for parking) • No tandem parking permitted outside of the Westside Specific Plan • Two spaces required
• 5-foot interior side yard setbacks (4 requested for east side) • 25-foot rear yard setback (14 requested)
• Subject to “rear lot line” definition that modifies location for irregular-shaped lots • 2-story maximum height (3 requested)
• Maximum height of 35 feet is being met

Analysis (cont.)
• FINDINGS
• 1. Variances from the terms of Title 18 shall be granted only when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of Title 18 deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification.
• Lot is less than half the required size, which restricts the buildable area. • Triangular shape modifies the shape of the buildable area. • No room for a residence of a typical size.
• Appropriate parking

Analysis (cont.)
• FINDINGS
• 2. Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated. • Other developed lots smaller than 5,000 square feet exist in the zone. • Several properties with exist with reduced setbacks, in some cases entire subdivisions.
• Other single-family homes exceed two stories, including several Victorian-style mansions.
• Homes constructed in previous decades did not have setback requirements for parking.

Analysis (cont.)
• FINDINGS
• 2. A variance shall not be granted for a parcel of property which authorizes a use or activity which is not otherwise expressly authorized by the zone regulation governing the parcel of property.
• A single-family residence is a permitted use in the RS-2 zone. • Parking as an accessory use is required and allowed in all zones. Request is to conform with minimum requirement.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Planning
Prepared by: Martin Reeder, Assistant Director of Community Development Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2024
Approved by: Benjamin A. Martinez, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Introduction of an Ordinance Amending Section 9.07 (Food Caterers and Catering Equipment Rentals) of the National City Municipal Code.

RECOMMENDATION:

Introduce the Ordinance

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

The City has regulations in the Municipal Code (NCMC) related to food sales from mobile food vending vehicles (e.g., food trucks, trailers, etc.) under NCMC 9.06 and from sidewalk vendors under NCMC 13.30. In addition to the above -referenced Municipal Code sections, food sales are also permitted as part of a temporary event (Temporary Use Permit), as regulated by Chapter 15.60 (Temporary Use Permits) and in relation to private catering operations in Chapter 9.07. All activities associated with the above Code sections are also required to abide by the regulations of the Department of Environmental Health and Quality (DEHQ). Since the COVID-19 pandemic smaller businesses that do not have the capacity or capital to offer food sales have turned to outside food sales. In the case of establishing or niche businesses, mobile food vendors are not always an option due to location, lack of established clientele, or property size. Many have turned to more permanent non-kitchen based alternatives, such as parking lot-based vendors or similar (carts, tables, etc.).

However, sidewalk vendors are limited to street rights-of-way, and Title 18 typically requires that all uses be conducted in enclosed buildings.

Proposal
Staff is suggesting an amendment to Chapter 9.07 ( Food Caterers and Catering Equipment Rentals) to address food vending covered under the existing DEHQ permitting framework. The intent is to allow smaller service businesses such as bars or markets that do not have kitchens to offer limited food sales on the property. The City of San Diego has similar allowances, as does the City of Los Angeles, which has removed almost all barriers to outside food vending in recent years.

Analysis
DEHQ regulates three primary exterior food activities:
 Mobile Food Facilities (e.g., food trucks)

 Temporary Food Facilities (e.g., temporary community event)  Satellite Food Service Operations (e.g., restaurant, market ~ business with interior food preparation facilities)

The first two bulleted items are covered under existing Code sections for mobile food vending vehicles and Temporary Use Permits. Satellite Food Service Operations are for a restaurant or market to produce food in the business on site and serve it outside. There is also private event catering, which does not typically require anything from the City other than be associated with a permitted event and have a business license.

However, there is also Direct-sales catering, which means any catering where food is sold or served to individual consumers as members of the public (i.e., all catering other than private event catering). Direct-sales catering is only allowed at a permitted catering host facility that meets DEHQ requirements at the time the catered food is serv ed. A Catering host facility generally requires restroom facilities, sinks for cleaning dishes, adequate power, and potable water.

Direct-sales catering allows “limited food preparation”, which is defined as one or more of the following:

1. Heating, frying, baking, roasting, popping, shaving of ice, blending, steaming or boiling of hot dogs, or assembly of non-prepackaged food.

2. Dispensing and portioning of non-potentially hazardous food or dispensing and portioning for immediate service to a customer of food that has been temperature controlled until immediately prior to portioning or dispensing.

3. Holding, portioning, and dispensing of any foods that are prepared for satellite food service by the onsite permanent food facility or prepackaged by another approved source.

4. Holding, portioning, and dispensing of any foods that are prepared by a catering operation.

5. Slicing and chopping of non-potentially hazardous food or produce that has been washed at an approved facility or slicing and chopping of food on a heated cooking surface during the cooking process.

6. Cooking and seasoning to order.

7. Juicing or preparing beverages that are for immediate service, in response to an individual consumer order, which do not contain frozen milk products.

8. Hot and cold holding of food that has been prepared at an approved permanent food facility.

9. Reheating of food that has been previously prepared at an approved permanent food facility and held at temperatures required by this chapter.

Limited food preparation does not include any of the following:

1. Slicing and chopping potentially hazardous food, other than produce, unless it is on the heated cooking surface.

2. Thawing.

3. Cooling of cooked, potentially hazardous food.

4. Grinding raw ingredients or potentially hazardous food.

5. Washing of foods.

6. Cooking of potentially hazardous foods for later use.

7. Handling, manufacturing, freezing, processing, or packaging of milk, milk products, or products resembling milk products.

Staff has provided a draft ordinance which amends Section 9.07 to define DEHQ requirements and defer to their permitting process. There is also a requirement for a City business license and to maintain access to required parking spaces, as these types of uses will typically occur within parking lots.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
The ordinance being proposed is considered exempt from CEQA because it is not a project as defined in Section 15378. If approved, there would be no construction occurring or an increase in vehicle trips; therefore, there would not be any potential to result in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Summary
Staff is suggesting amending the Municipal Code to allow smaller businesses with limited resources to expand their ability to serve their customers. If approved, this Ordinance will allow for outside food sales on a limited basis, subject to County health permit regulations. The amendment would also make National City consistent with other similar jurisdictions. If this ordinance is introduced, staff will return with an ordinance for adoption at the next City Council meeting. Subsequent amendments to Title 18 (Zoning) will follow to add cross-references related to the amended Chapter 9.07, including a recommendation from the Planning Commission.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Engineering
Prepared by: Ricardo Rodriguez, Assistant Civil Engineer Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2024
Approved by: Benjamin A. Martinez, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Ordinance for Introduction – Discharge of Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) to the Municipal Sewer System.

RECOMMENDATION:

Introduce Ordinance by First Reading, e ntitled, “ Ordinance of the City Council of the City of National City, California, a mending Section 14.06.190 – Industrial Wastes - Discharge Restrictions - Permit Required When , and adding Chapter 14.24 – Fats, Oils a nd Grease Discharge Control to Title 14 of the National City Municipal Code.”

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

The City of National City owns and operates the sanitary sewer system within city limits, which exists to collect and convey the waste collected from residential, commercial and industrial uses.

The City proposes to amend Section 14.06.190 – Industrial Wastes - Discharge Restrictions - Permit Required When, and add Chapter 14.24 – Fats, Oils and Grease Discharge Control to Title 14 of the National City Municipal Code . The purpose of this proposed ordinance is to establish further regulations and compliance requirements that will support the City’s FOG control program, which is an important factor in the operation of the sanitary sewer system.

The proposed amended and new language in the ordinance is expected to reduce the potential for sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and protect public health and the environment by minimizing public exposure to unsanitary conditions. By controlling the discharge of fats, oils, and grease to the wastewater collection system, excessive buildup in sewer lines can be lessene d, thereby increasing the system's operating efficiency and reducing the number of sewer line blockages and overflows.

As a sewer system operator, the City must implement FOG control as required by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Water Quality Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ. This ordinance will enhance the City’s ability to implement and enforce the following required controls:

 Authority to inspect grease producing facilities, and provide enforcement to eliminate fats, oils, and grease from the sewer system.
 Implementation of source control measures for all sources of fats, oils, and grease reaching the sanitary sewer system.
 An implementation plan and schedule for a public education and outreach program that promotes proper disposal of FOG.

 The legal authority to prohibit discharges to the system and identify measures to prevent spills and blockages.
 Requirements to install grease removal devices (such as traps or interceptors), design standards for the removal devices, maintenance requiremen ts, best management practices requirements, recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

The revised ordinance will not increase the cost to the City as it already has had a FOG program in place for years, as required by state law. The approximate annual cost for the City to meet its obligation of oversight and compliance is typically less th an $50,000 through a service contract with an expert consultant, however, that cost is partially recovered through a fee charged to the grease-producing facility owners. If there are violation issues, the responsible parties are billed for additional costs incurred by the City.

Section 2: The City Council of the City of National City adds Chapter 14.24 of the National City Municipal Code to read as follows:

Chapter 14.24 – FATS, OILS AND GREASE DISCHARGE CONTROL Sections:

14.24.010 Title.

This chapter shall be known as "City of National City Fats, Oils and Grease Discharge Control Ordinance" and shall be so cited.

14.24.020 Purpose and intent.

The purpose of this ordinance is to provide for the protection and maximum beneficial public use of the City’s sewer system while preventing blockages of the sewer resulting from discharges of

Fats, Oils, and Grease (“FOG”) to sewer facilities, and to specify appropriate FOG discharge requirements for food service establishments (“FSEs”).

14.24.030 Definitions.

For the purposes of this chapter certain terms are defined as follows:

A. “Best management practices” means schedules of activities, prohibitions, practices, maintenance procedures, and other management practices to prevent or reduce the introduction of FOG to the sewer facilities.

B. “Discharger” means any person who discharges or causes a discharge of wastewater directly or indirectly into a public sewer.

C. ”Fats, oils, and grease” (FOG) means any substance such as a vegetable or animal product that is used in, or is a by-product of, the cooking or food preparation process, and that turns or may turn viscous or solidify with a change in temperature or other conditions.

E. “Food grinder” means any device installed in the plumbing or sewage system for the purpose of grinding food waste or food preparation by -products prior to discharge in the sewer system.

F. “Food service establishment” (FSE) mean s establishments of any size operating in a permanently constructed structure, such as a room, building, or place, or portion thereof, maintained, used, or operated for the purpose of preparing, serving, manufacturing, packaging, or otherwise handling food, or for consumption by the public, its members, or employees, and which has any process or device that uses or produces FOG. A limited food preparation establishment is not considered a FSE when engaged only in reheating, hot holding, or assembly of ready to eat food products without soiling non -disposable cookware, serving ware, dishes, or utensils, and as a result, there is no wastewater discharge containing a significant amount of FOG. A limited food preparation establishment does not include any operation that changes the form, flavor, or consistency of food.

G. “Grease” means any material which is extractable from an acidified sample of a waste by hexane or other designated solvent and as determined by the appropriate procedure in standard methods. “Grease” includes fats and oils.

H. “Grease control device” means any grease interceptor, grease trap or other mechanism, device, or process, which attaches to, or is applied to, wastewater plumbing fixtures and lines, the purpose of which is to trap, collect, or treat FOG prior to it being discharged into the sewer system. “Grease control device” may also include any other proven method to reduce FOG subject to the approval of the City.

I. “Grease interceptor” means a multi -compartment device that is constructed in di fferent sizes and, according to the current edition of the California Plumbing Code, is generally required to be located underground between a FSE and the connection to the City’s sewer system. These devices primarily use gravity to separate FOG from the w astewater as it moves from one compartment to the next. These devices must be cleaned, maintained, and have the FOG removed and disposed of in a proper manner on regular intervals to be effective.

J. “Grease trap” means a grease control device that is used to serve individual or multiple fixtures and have limited effect and should only be used in those cases where the use of a grease interceptor or other grease control device is determined to be impossible or impracticable.

K. “Hot spots” means areas in sewer lin es that have experienced sanitary sewer overflows or that must be cleaned or maintained frequently to avoid blockages of the sewer system.

L. “Private Lateral Sewage Discharge” (PLSD)” means sewage discharges that are caused by blockages or other problems within privately owned laterals or collection systems which are tributary to the sanitary sewer system. This type of sewage discharge is the responsibility of the private lateral or collection system owner.

M. “Remodeling” means a physical change or operatio nal change causing increased FOG generation that exceeds the current amount of FOG discharge to the sewer system by the FSE in an amount that alone or collectively causes or creates a potential for SSOs to occur; or any remodeling of a food service establishment that requires a building permit.

1. “Sanitary sewer overflow” (SSO) means and includes any overflow, spill, release, discharge or diversion of untreated or partially treated wastewater from a sanitary sewer system. SSOs include: Overflows or releases o f untreated or partially treated wastewater that reach waters of the United States;

2. Overflows or releases of untreated or partially treated wastewater that do not reach waters of the United States; and

3. Wastewater backups into buildings and on private prope rty that are caused by blockages or flow conditions within the publicly owned portion of a sanitary sewer system.

O. “Sewer, Public.” See definition in Chapter 14.06.010 of the municipal code.

P. “Wastewater” means any liquid waste of any kind, whether treated or not, and whether animal, mineral or vegetable including sewage, agricultural, industrial and thermal wastes, which are discharged into or permitted to enter a public sewer.

14.24.040 FOG discharge requirement.

No food service establishment (FSE) shall discharge or cause to be discharged into the sewer system any FOG in concentrations that may result in separation from effluent and adherence to sewer structures and appurtenances, accumulate, and/or cause or contribute to blockages in the sewer system or at the sewer system lateral which connects the FSE to the sewer system. The following requirements shall apply to all FSEs:

A. Grease control device. FSEs are required to install, operate and maintain a grease control device of an approved type and adequate size in accordance with the current edition of the California Plumbing Code, see Chapter 15.20.005 -2022 CPC, (adopted Ordinance No. 2023 -2513, §§ 3, 2 -21-2023) to maintain compliance with the objectives of this chapter, subject to the variance and waiver provisions of Section 14.24.060. The grease control device shall be adequate to separate and remove FOG contained in wastewater discharges from FSEs prior to discharge to the sewer system. Fixtures, equipment, and drain lines located in the food preparation and clean up areas of FSEs that are sources of FOG discharges shall be connected to the grease control device. The grease control device shall be installed at a location approved by the County of San Diego or at the discretion of the City Engineer, where it shall be at all times easily accessible for

inspection, cleaning, and removal of accumulated grease. Compliance shall be established as follows:
a. Newly constructed FSEs, and FSEs that open a new business within an existing building, shall install grease control devices prior to commencing discharges of wastewater to the sewer system. This includes FSEs that are remodeling the site as well as those that are not remodeling the site.
b. Existing FSEs shall be required to install and operate a grease control device within 6 months of notification by the City, or at the discretion of the City Engineer, if in the determination of the FOG program manager any of the following apply:
i. The existing FSE has caused or contributed to the buildup of FOG, or a FOG- related blockage, in the sewer system including private laterals, and has reasonable potential to adversely impact the sewer system. ii. The existing FSE has a sewer lateral connected to a hot spot, and has reasonable potential to adversely impact the sewer system. iii. The existing FSE has made any change in food preparation or business operations that is different than the original business application and those changes will lead to an increase in grease disposal which have reasonabl e potential to adversely impact the sewer system.
iv. The existing FSE undergoes remodeling, as defined in Section 14.24.040.A.a. v. The existing FSE undergoes a change in ownership.
vi. The existing FSE has reasonable potential to adversely impact the sewer system.

B. Private lateral maintenance. All FSEs are required to clean the sewer lateral from the facility to the sewer main at least annually, or more often as needed to ensure proper flow within the sewer lateral.

C. Maintenance Records. A record of sewer lateral cleaning must be maintained and kept on file for review at the food service facility.

14.24.060 Variance and waiver of grease control device requirement.

A. Variance from Grease Interceptor Requirements. An existing FSE may obtain a variance from the grease interceptor requirement to allow alternative pretreatment technology that is, at least, equally effective in controlling the FOG discharge in lieu of a grease interceptor, if the FSE demonstrates that it is impossible or impracticable to install, operate or maintain a grease interceptor. The City’s determination to grant a variance will be based upon, but not limited to, evaluation of the following conditions:
a. There is no adequate space for installation and/or maintenance of a grease interceptor.
b. There is no adequate slope for gravity flow between t he kitchen plumbing fixtures and the grease interceptor and/or between the grease interceptor and the private collection lines or the public sewer.
c. The FSE can justify that the alternative pretreatment technology is equivalent or better than a grease interceptor in controlling its FOG discharge. In addition, the FSE must be able to demonstrate, after installation of the proposed alternative pretreatment, its effectiveness to control FOG discharge through downstream visual monitoring of the sewer system, for at least three months, at its own expense. A variance may be granted if the results show no visible accumulation of FOG in its lateral and/or tributary downstream sewer lines.

B. Conditional Waiver from Installation of Grease Interceptor. An existing FSE may obtain a conditional waiver from installation of a grease interceptor, if the FSE demonstrates that it has negligible FOG discharge and insignificant impact to the sewer system. Although a waiver from installation of a grease interceptor may be granted, the FSE may be required to provide space and plumbing segregation for future installation of a grease interceptor.

The City’s determination to grant or revoke a conditional waiver shall be based upon, but not limited to, evaluation of the following conditions:
a. Quantity of FOG discharge as measure or as indicated by the size of FSE based on seating capacity, number of meals served, menu, water usage, amount of on -site consumption of prepared food, and other conditions that may reasonably be shown to contribute to FOG discharges.
b. Adequacy of implementation of best management practices and compliance history. c. Sewer size, grade, condition based on visual information, FOG disposition in the sewer by the FSE, and history of maintenance and sewer spills in the recei ving sewer system.
d. Changes in operations that significantly affect FOG discharge. e. Any other condition deemed reasonably related to the generation of FOG discharges by the City.

C. Waiver from Grease Interceptor Installation with a Grease Disposal Mitigation F ee. For FSEs where the installation of a grease interceptor is not feasible and no equivalent alternative pretreatment can be installed, a waiver from the grease interceptor requirement

may be granted with the imposition of a grease disposal mitigation fee . Additional requirements may be imposed to mitigate the discharge of FOG into the sewer system.

D. Any FSE may request a conditional waiver or variance from the FOG program manager, in order to avoid compliance with the grease control device installation requirement. The FSE bears the burden of demonstrating, to the program manager’s satisfaction, that the installation of a grease control device is either not feasible or not applicable. If a grease control device is determined to not be feasible, the appl icant must demonstrate how acceptable alternatives will be sufficient to prevent FOG discharges to the sewer system from the FSE. If a grease control device is not necessary, the applicant must demonstrate that it has negligible FOG discharge and insignif icant impact to the sewer system. The FSE will be given notice in writing that a conditional waiver or variance from the grease control device requirement has been approved.

E. Terms and Conditions. The program manager may impose terms and conditions on the issuance of a waiver and may impose conditions on the FSE’s business license in accordance with an approved waiver. A conditional waiver may be suspended or revoked at any time when any of the terms and conditions for its issuance is not satisfied or if t he conditions upon which the conditional waiver was based change so that the justification for the exception no longer exists. The conditional waiver shall be valid only so long as the FSE remains in compliance with all requirements.

14.24.070 Commercial properties.

Property owners of commercial properties or their official designee(s) shall be responsible for the installation and maintenance of the grease control device serving multiple FSEs that are located on a single parcel.

Property owners of commercial properties or their official designee(s) shall be responsible for the maintenance of the sewer lateral serving multiple FSEs that are located on a single parcel.

14.24.080 Sewer System Overflows, Abatement Orders and Cleanup Costs.

Private sewer latera l failures and SSOs caused by FSEs, alone or collectively, are the responsibility of the private property owner and FSE. If, either at the request of a FSE or to abate an immediate threat to the public health, safety, welfare, or property, the City acts to contain and/or clean up an SSO or the blockage of a sewer lateral or the sewer system caused by a FSE, the City’s costs for such abatement shall be entirely borne by the property owner of the FSE, or the discharger, and shall constitute a debt to the City and become due and payable upon the City’s request for reimbursement of such costs.

Any person who discharges any waste and/or wastewater which causes or contributes to any sewer blockage, SSO, obstruction, interference, damage, or any other impairment to the City's sewer facilities or to the operation of those facilities shall be liable for all costs incurred to clean or repair the facilities together with expenses incurred by the City to resume normal operations.

Any person who discharges waste and/or wastewater to the sewer system which causes or contributes to the City violating disch arge requirements established by any Regulatory Agency shall be liable for any costs or expenses incurred by the City as a result, including but not limited to regulatory fines, penalties, and assessments made by other agencies or a court.

14.24.090 Requirements for best management practices.

All FSEs shall implement best management practices in accordance with the requirements and guidelines established by the City under its Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP).

14.24.100 Grease control device maintenance requirements.

All FSEs shall implement grease control device maintenance in accordance with the requirements and guidelines established by the City under its Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP).

14.24.110 Enforcement.

A. The City Engineer, who is assigned t o duties which include the enforcement of FOG Discharge Control regulations and laws, is responsible for enforcing the provisions of this chapter.

B. The City Engineer shall have responsibility for enforcing all provisions of this chapter.

Violation of any provision of this ordinance shall constitute grounds for issuing a Notice of Violation and assessing a fine by a City’s Enforcement Official or representative.

Enforcement Actions under this ordinance are the issuance of an administrative citation and assess ment of a fine according to Section 1.20.010. However, nothing herein provided shall prevent the City Engineer from efforts to obtain voluntary compliance by way of warning, a notice of violation or educational means.

Section 3: This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days from the date of its passage, and before the expiration of fifteen (15) days after its passage, it or a summary of it, shall be published once, with the names of the members of the City Council voting for and against the same in the Star News, a newspaper of general circulation published in the County of San Diego, California.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Engineering & Public Works
Prepared by: Luca Zappiello
Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2024
Approved by: Benjamin A. Martinez, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Public Hearing and Adoption of a Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City amending the previously adopted Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) schedule and annual adjustment to the TDIF.

RECOMMENDATION:

Public Hearing and Adoption of a Resolution Entitled, “Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, Amending the previously adopted Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) S chedule and Annual Adjustment to the TDIF, P ursuant to National City Municipal Code Section 4.52.100 an d C onsistent with Government Code Section 66017, Approving an Adjustment to the TDIF as R equired by the San Diego Associati on of Governments (SANDAG) for Receipt of TransNet Local Street Improvement Revenues, Resulting in the TDIF Increasing from $2,741.97 per New Residential Dwelling Unit to $2,875.06 per Unit Beginning July 1, 2024.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

In November 2004, San Diego County Voters approved local Proposition A extending the TransNet ½ cent sales tax to fund the region’s transportation system for 40 years. As part of Proposition A and the TransNet Extension Ordinance, the Regional Transportation Congestion Improvement Program (RTCIP) was created to ensure that new development directly invests in the region’s transportation system to offset the negative impacts of growth on congestion and mobility. One of the requirements of the RTCIP was that by July 1, 2008, each local agency m ust contribute $2,000 from exactions imposed on the private sector for each new residence constructed within each jurisdiction. Failure to do so would result in an agency’s loss of TransNet funding for improvement of local streets.

Cities have the authority to impose impact fees under the Mitigation Fee Act contained in California Government Code sections 66000 through 66025.

Therefore, on April 1, 2008, to satisfy the requirements of the TransNet RTCIP for receipt and expenditure of TransNet funds, City C ouncil adopted Ordinance No. 2008 -2310 amending Title 4 of the National City Municipal Code by adding Chapter 4.52 “Establishing and Approving a Transportation Development Impact Fee for Capital Improvement Projects Necessary to Maintain Acceptable Levels of Traffic and Transportation Service Within the City”.

The TransNet Extension Ordinance requires that the RTCIP transportation mitigation fee charged by local jurisdictions be adjusted every year on July 1 in order to maintain the purchasing power of the program for improvements to the Regional Arterial System. On February 23 , 20 24, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved an adjustment to the RTCIP, raising the minimum fee from $2,741.97 per new residential dwelling unit to $2,875.06 per unit beginning July 1, 2024.

The following table summarizes the adjusted Transportation Development Impact Fee (TDIF) schedule for new residential development, which will go into effect on July 1, 2024, if adopted by City Council. The TDIF shall be collected prior to the issuance of any building permit for new residential development in the City of National City. A copy of the City’s Transportation Impact Fee Program Report is available at the Office of the City Engineer.

Residential Land Use Fee

Single-family

$2,875.06 per dwelling unit

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

Funds will be deposited into the following TDIF Revenue Accounts: 326 -00000-3162 and 326-00000-3163. The revenues received from this fee vary greatly from year to year and are dependent upon the number of residential building permits issued. In fiscal year 2023, $261,000 was collected. So far this fiscal year, $71,400 has been collected.

AGENDA REPORT

Department: Engineering & Public Works
Prepared by: Stephen Manganiello, Director of Engineering & Public Works Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2024
Approved by: Benjamin A. Martinez, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Update on Bid Results for El Toyon Park Improvements (CIP No. 22-26)

RECOMMENDATION:

Accept and file the staff report

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable

EXPLANATION:

On November 7, 2023, the City Council of the City of National City entered into a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) with the San Diego County Building and Construction Trades Council and Associated Signatory Craft Unions. The PLA, which went into effect on December 14, 2023, applies to public projects with a construction value of at least $1,000,000.

The City’s first capital project subject to PLA requirements was El Toyon Park Improvements (CIP No. 22-26). The general scope of work is to construct minor land scape grading, pathways, pavements, pedestrian safety, utility, shade structures, splash pad play area, adult fitness area, fencing, landscape drainage, park lighting, communications, irrigation, planting, and park maintenance. Specific improvements will include site demolition, construction of curb ramps, cast- in-place concrete structures, walls and footings, porous concrete paving, aggregate base, grading, drainage improvements, signage, pavement markings, splash pad play features and filtration system, fitness equipment structures, wood and metal fencing and gates, park lighting, security, landscaping, and irrigation systems. Ancillary work will include mobilization, traffic control during construction, utility coordination, water pollution control, and construction surveying.

The initial project was ready to be advertised for public bidding in November 2023. Upon direction from City Council, staff delayed advertisement to update the project specifications and bid documents for compliance with the PLA. S taff posted the bid solicitation on PlanetBids on February 1, 2024, and subsequently advertised the project in the San Diego Union Tribune on February 5, 2024, February 7, 2024, and February 21, 2024. Staff set the bid due date as March 21, 2024, to allow ample time for contractors to review the bid documents and PLA.

Staff held two pre -bid meetings to provide contractors opportunities to ask questions. A total of ten contractors attended the first pre-bid meeting held on February 8, 2024, while one contractor attended the second pre-bid meeting held on February 22, 2024. Staff also sent letters to all 14 of the craft unions signatory to the PLA in February 2024, encouraging them to reach out to qualified contractors in an effort to garner inter est in the project and increase opportunities for competitive bidding. Ultimately, a total of 16 contractors registered on PlanetBids to review the notice inviting bids, project plans and specifications.

On March 21, 2024, only one bid was received in the amount of $7,785,997.87, which was more than double the Engineer’s Estimate of $3,665,000 for project construction. The sole contractor who submitted the bid was De La Fuente Construction, Inc . Staff contacted the remaining 1 5 contractors who registered on PlanetBids to gain a better understanding as to why they did not submit bids . Staff received responses from eight of the 15 contractors. Five of the eight contractors cited PLA requirements as the primary reason they did not bid the job. The other three contractors indicated they were either too busy, did not have capacity to take on the project, and/or were not interested after reviewing the scope of work.

Per Section 3.2 Exclusions of the PLA, the City reserves the right to reject all bids and readvertise the project not as a Covered Project or Covered Contract and not subject to this PLA for the following reasons:

(h) there were less than three qualified bidders; and

(l) the lowest apparent responsive and responsible b id is 10% or greater than the Engineer’s estimate.

The City Engineer is responsible for implementing capital improvement projects consistent with applicable laws, including the California Public Contract Code, local ordinances and other public contracting requirements including the City of National City PLA. Based on the exclusions stated above, the City Engineer has rejected the one bid received and will be readvertising the project as a Non-PLA contract by the end of April 2024.

Approved by: Benjamin A. Martinez, City Manager

SUBJECT:

Update on the Use of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds

RECOMMENDATION:

Provide Feedback and Direction on Priorities for Expenditure of Remaining ARPA Funds.

BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE PRIOR ACTION:

Not Applicable.

EXPLANATION:

The purpose of this staff report is to provide an update on the use of ARPA funds as it pertains to National City, including an historic timeline of key actions taken by the City Council to allocate funds, expenditures to date, and options for use of remaining fund balance.

In March 2021, a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill titled the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) was enacted by the federal government. Of the $1.9 trillion, $350 billion was allocated for state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments to respond to the COVID -19 emergency and promote economic growth. The Federal Government refers to this portion of the stimulus bill as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. Of the $350 billion, the City of National City received $18,010,907.

The U.S. Treasury issued an Interim Final Rule with guidance on eligible uses for the funds in May 2021. In January 2022, the U.S. Treasury released a Final Rule, which confirmed the following four funding objectives of the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds:

1. Support urgent COVID -19 response efforts to continue to decrease spread of the virus and bring the pandemic under control.

2. Replace lost public sector revenue to provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue experienced due to the pandemic.

3. Respond to the negative economic impacts of the pandemic, including assistance to households, small businesses, and non-profits, and aid to impacted industries.

4. Address systemic public health and economic challenges tha t have contributed to the unequal impact of the pandemic on certain populations.

In addition, the Final Rule confirmed National City’s ability to take a standard allowance of $10M in the revenue loss category without needing to prove specific revenue loss based on the calculation methodology previously defined by Treasury. The City Council ultimately decided to designate $6,060,000 of the $18M ARPA allocation as a revenue offset to General Fund expenditures spread over a three-year period.

Of significant importance is that ARPA funds must be obligated (through contract awards and/or other transactions) by December 31, 2024. Funds must be spent by December 31, 2026.

The following timeline summarizes the public engagement process and previous d irection received from City Council on use of ARPA funds:

 August 3, 2021, City Council Meeting – staff provided an overview of ARPA and summary of eligible uses.

 October 19, 2021, City Council Special Meeting, ARPA Workshop – staff provided an overview o f ARPA, strategic planning and CIP prioritization process, and preliminary recommendations for use of ARPA funds. City Council provided direction on use of ARPA funds via a series of motions and votes. All motions passed by unanimous vote.

 December 7, 2021, City Council Meeting – City Council adopted Resolution to increase use of ARPA funds for premium pay for eligible City employees. Approved by unanimous vote.

 February 1, 2022, City Council Meeting – City Council adopted Resolution to increase use of ARPA funds to offset General Fund expenditures for FY 23 & 24. Approved by unanimous vote.

 February 15, 2022, City Council Meeting – staff provided and overview of ARPA fund allocations previously committed by City Council, report and recommendations to replace the Las Palmas Pool Building and Park Restrooms, and public engagement plan to prioritize remaining ARPA funds. City Council adopted Resolution to allocate ARPA funds for a new Municipal Pool Building / Wellness Center and new restrooms at Las Pa lmas Park. Vote was 3-2 in support.

 February through March 2022, ARPA Community Outreach – members of the public participated in an online survey, written surveys at kiosks (located at Las Palmas Pool, National City Public Library and City Hall), an “Idea Wall,” and Open House held at Las Palmas Park on March 17, 2022 to assist in prioritizing approximately $3M in ARPA funds for projects or programs.

 May 16, 2023, City Council Special Meeting, Budget Workshop – staff provided an update on the proposed improvements for Las Palmas Park. A major topic of discussion was consideration of budget enhancements to close the funding gap for the Las Palmas Pool Building / Wellness Center, Splash Pad, new Park Restrooms, and associated site work.

The project had been advanced to 95% design, resulting in approximately $700,000 in ARPA expenditures. The total project cost estimate (hard and soft costs) as presented by staff was approximately $14.7M, with $5.5M funded through ARPA appropriations and $1M funded throu gh State grant appropriations, resulting in a funding shortfall of approximately $8.2M.

 June 12, 2023, City Council Special Meeting, Budget Workshop – City Council directed staff to stop work on the Las Palmas Pool Building / Wellness Center, Splash Pad, and Park Restroom Replacement project and come back to City Council with a cost estimate to rehabilitate the existing pool building, replace the existing park restrooms, build a splash pad, and work with A Reason To Survive (ARTS) to include public art ele ments. The motion was approved by a 3-2 vote.

 November 2023 through March 2024, Alternatives Assessment for Las Palmas Pool Building – staff put together a team of engineers, architects and former City Building Officials to evaluate two new options for t he Las Palmas Pool Building, in addition to reviewing the cost estimate for the Wellness Center, and consideration of auxiliary prefabricated or portable facilities for showers, restrooms and changing areas. Current costs for construction of new public fa cilities or major rehabilitation range between $900 and $1,200 per square foot.

o Option 1 – Rehabilitate and retrofit the existing facility for Code compliance and to meet current programming needs, while preserving those elements which convey its historical, cultural, and architectural value.

The team conducted several walkthroughs of the existing, approximately 9,300 s.f. pool building and met with the Aquatics Manager (EXOS) to identify existing deficiencies that must be addressed for Code compliance, pu blic safety and accessibility, and to better meet current programming needs include:

 Roof
 Exterior Walls
 Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Systems (MEP)
 Title 24 Accessibility (interior and exterior)
 Drainage
 Restrooms, Showers and Locker Rooms (includi ng lack of private family changing areas)
 Existing Layout
 Front Glass and Windows
 Office and Storage Needs

Exhibit A includes the proposed floor plan and detailed cost estimate. Notable items of work, which will drive costs include:

 Testing of exterior walls for structural integrity; seismic retrofit vs. repair and restore based on results
 Demo existing slab to install new utilities and adjust grades near pool deck to address water intrusion issues.
 Remove most of the interior walls to reconfigure the la yout to meet programming and accessibility needs.
 MEP upgrades
 Install new roof system

Cost Estimate: $13M (could be higher based on unknown conditions such as structural integrity of exterior walls, type of roof system, presence of hazardous materials, extent of gas line replacement, etc.)

o Option 2 – Demolish the existing facility and construct a new, modern and energy efficient facility in the same location.

Exhibit B includes the proposed layout, architectural renderings and cost estimate.

Notable elements of design include:

 Lobby and Community room with large glass panes providing natural light and direct access to the pool
 Addition of outdoor showers and lockers
 Shaded bleachers facing the pool
 Solar powered roofing system with natural ventilation above the locker rooms, showers and restrooms

 Efficient layout within a smaller building footprint to control costs, while meeting programming needs

Cost Estimate: $13M (value engineered to target a cost of $900 per s.f. for new building construction)

o Option 3 – Construct new pool building / Wellness Center on east side of pool.

Exhibit C includes the proposed layout, architectural renderings and cost estimate.

Items of note include:

 Modern, energy efficient design that meets programming needs  Creates natural connections between the pool and Camacho Rec Center  Requires more extensive site prep, grading, and utility relocations  Efficient layout within a smaller building footprint to control costs, while meeting programming needs

Cost Estimate: $14M (considers cost of $1,000 per s.f. for new building construction; does not include cost to demo existing pool building)

o Option 4 – Prefabricated or portable facilities for showers, restrooms, locker rooms and changing areas.

Exhibit D includes example products. Benefits include:

 Offers an immediate, cost -effective solution until grants or other funding can be secured to build a new, permanent facility.
 Could be placed on existing concrete pads to the east of the pool, which are currently used for materials storage and snack shack
 Existing Pool Building lobby and offices could be refurbished and remain accessible for staff and the public; remainder of building would be closed to the public and could be repurposed for dry storage

Cost Estimate: $2M (includes site prep, demo of snack shack, utility connections and refurbishment of existing pool building lobby and offices)
