2.C.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Chad Blais, Public Works Director
Department: Public Works
SUBJECT:
2023 Sanitary Sewer System Management Audit
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file the City of Norco's 2023 Sewer System Management Plan Audit as required by State Order 2006-0003.

SUMMARY:

On May 2, 2006, the California State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) adopted Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ implementing statewide regulations related to the operation and maintenance of sanitary sewer collection systems. The Order requires the Sanitary Sewer Management Plan (“SSMP”) to be recertified every five (5) years and an audit performed every two (2) years, both must contain any significant program or operational changes, and be recertified after review and approval by the Norco City Council. To complete the recertification process, Norco staff members must enter the information into the online SSO database and mail a copy to the State Water Resources Control Board. Staff has found the 2023 SSMP audit to be in compliance with all eleven elements of the State Order.

BACKGROUND:

In April 2004, the State Water Resources Control Board began to investigate potential solutions to reduce both the number and volume of Sanitary Sewer Overflows (“SSOs”) that occur throughout the state, often impacting health, safety and the environment. The most noticeable impact of SSO’s is the closure of public beaches due to sewage spills.

With the aging of the sanitary sewer systems within the state, and varying levels of effort and funding to manage those sanitary systems, the State Board believed the frequency of SSOs would continue to increase unless the State Board initiated a formal action plan to implement regulations to manage and enforce SSOs statewide.

The regulations adopted by SWRCB apply to all federal and state agencies, municipalities, counties, special districts, and other public entities that own or operate

Page 15 of 343 ends

sanitary sewer collection systems greater than one mile in length and that collect and/or convey untreated or partially treated wastewater to a publicly owned treatment facility in the State of California.

The State Board determined that to properly facilitate funding and management of sanitary sewer systems, each system operator must develop and implement a systemspecific SSMP. To be effective, SSMPs must include provisions to provide proper and efficient management, operation, and maintenance, while taking into consideration risk management and cost to benefit analysis. Additionally, an SSMP must contain a spill response plan that establishes standard procedures for immediate emergency response to an SSO in a manner designed to minimize water quality impacts and potential health conditions.

The City of Norco owns, operates, and manages approximately 110 miles of clay, gravity flow, 6” to 27” diameter sanitary sewer collection pipelines, approximately 2,000 pre-cast concrete manholes and cleanouts, two siphons and 12 sewer lift stations, including force main piping. The City discharges its waste stream to the Western Riverside County Regional Wastewater Authority (WRCRWA), a joint power authority formed to plan, construct, and operate a cost-effective regional wastewater system for the conveyance, tertiary treatment, and disposal of sewage from the participating agencies. Member agencies include the City of Norco, City of Corona, Jurupa Community Services District, Western Municipal Water District, and Home Gardens Sanitary District.

The last audit was completed in 2021 and staff has prepared the City of Norco 2023 audit report as required by the State Board, consistent with Order No. 2006-003 and the most recent amendment September 9, 2013, with the issuance of State Order WQ-2013-0058- EXEC. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council receive and file the 2023 City of Norco Sanitary Sewer Management Plan Audit per State Water Resources Control Board Order No. 2006-003-DWQ.

A full copy of the audit will be available for review on the City of Norco website.

FISCAL IMPACT:

On-going operation and maintenance costs, currently within the Sewer Operations Fund (Fund 126-809).

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

The acceptance of the SMMP Audit is consistent with Strategic Direction #5 - “Infrastructure & Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets” REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2023 City of Norco
Sanitary Sewer Management Plan Audit (SSMP)
On May 2, 2006, the California State Water Resources Control Board adopted Order No. 2006-0003, Statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) for Wastewater Collection Agencies. The order applies to all federal and state agencies, municipalities, counties and other public agencies that own or operate sanitary sewer collection systems greater than one mile in length that collect or convey untreated or partially treated wastewater to a publicly owned treatment facility in the State of California.

The City of Norco City Council adopted its original Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) in 2009. The SSMP was prepared in compliance with State Order 2006-0003-WDR issued May 2, 2006, to all publicly owned wastewater collection agencies owning more than one mile of pipeline.

Included in the State Order is a requirement that all agencies audit their SSMPs every two years to evaluate the effectiveness of the plan and staff member’s compliance with the State Order. The City of Norco has complied with that requirement by having its SSMP audited in 2011, 2014, 2017, 2019, 2021, and in the spring of 2021. The next audit will be required in 2025 and recertification of the SSMP will be due in 2024.

The 2023 audit had only minor findings mainly in regards to updating contact information.

This report represents an audit of the recertified 2019 City of Norco SSMP.

The SWRCB requires the electronic reporting of all sanitary sewer overflows as well as the development of a SSMP that specifies guidelines for monitoring, reporting and implementation of SSMP scheduling requirements. The City of Norco began electronic reporting in May 2007.
2023 Auditor Findings:

The City of Norco is in compliance with the State Order. Operations staff has complied with all aspects of the State Order, and the plan has been effective.

Page 18 of 343 ends

2 STATE ORDER
The California State Water Resources Control Board adopted Order No. 2006-0003 DWQ, May 2, 2006 (State Order) to create an equitable statewide mechanism to manage all publicly owned wastewater collection agencies with more than a mile of pipeline, to reduce the number and severity of Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs), and to set up a central depository for online reporting of SSOs when they do occur.

The Order is consistent with State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Resolution No. 68-16 (Statement of Policy with Respect to Maintaining High Quality of Waters in California) in that the Order imposes conditions to prevent impacts to water quality, does not allow the degradation of water quality, will not unreasonably affect beneficial uses of water, and will not result in water quality less than prescribed in SWRCB or Regional Water Board plans and policies.

A principal element of the State Order is the requirement the City of Norco adopt and maintain a management plan for its sanitary sewer collection and conveyance system, referred to as a Sewer System Management Plan or SSMP.

The State Order was amended September 9, 2013 with the issuance of State Order WQ 2013-0058- EXEC. Therefore, all SSMPs across the state were to be updated to include the contents of the amended order.

The 2023 Audit is required by the 2013 Amended State Order WQ 2013-0058-EXEC.

The State Order establishes the following goal:

Goal: The goal of the SSMP is to provide a plan and schedule to properly manage, operate, and maintain all parts of the sanitary sewer system. This will help reduce and prevent SSOs, as well as mitigate any SSOs that do occur.

The State Order requires City of Norco staff members perform periodic internal audits of the SSMP with focus on evaluating the effectiveness of the SSMP and staff member’s compliance with its requirements, as shown in Section D-13 of the State Order. The internal audits must be performed at least every two (2) years with the audit report kept on file at the City of Norco. Norco's audits were completed in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2021 as required, and therefore this audit is due in 2023.

The SSMP must be updated/recertified every five (5) years, must contain any significant program changes, and be recertified in 2024 after review and approval by the Norco City Council. To complete the recertification process, Norco staff members must enter the information into the Online SSO Database and mail a hard copy to the State Water Resources Control Board.

This is the City of Norco’s seventh audit of their SSMP. City Council approval is not required, staff recommends the City Council receive and file the report. Staff did not find any deficiencies, but will address recommendations.

As specified in the State Order, the SSMP is comprised of eleven (11) sections. A summary of the 2023 audit, which is an evaluation of each individual category, has been completed by City of Norco staff. All recommendations from previous audits have been addressed.

STAFF REPORT
Date: May 3, 2023 Agenda Item:

2.D.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Matt Boudreaux, IT Manager
Department: IT
SUBJECT:

Procurement of Dell Datacenter Server Hardware Refresh
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the purchase of Dell server and networking hardware from [RE]Design Group in the amount of $115,400.

SUMMARY:

The City's primary datacenter server hardware is due for replacement. According to best practices outlined in the IT Master Plan, server hardware should be refreshed every five years. Approval of this purchase will provide long term redundancy, enhance user experience, and improve our disaster recovery posture.

BACKGROUND:

The City utilizes Dell server hardware throughout its two datacenters. The primary datacenter server was installed in 2017 with the purchase of ESRI GIS and CentralSquare EAM (Lucity) Asset Management software.

The City's primary datacenter server does not offer the feature set of newer technologies and is no longer upgradable. City Staff recommends upgrading to a converged infrastructure datacenter solution as outlined in the IT Master Plan (Initiative #53 - Server and Disk Storage Upgrade). This solution provides high availability, redundancy, and reduced maintenance while using less energy and resources. This will also add additional computing power to the City's datacenter, making it more responsive, as well as fault tolerant.

To provide the City with the best service at the lowest price, staff through cooperative purchasing worked with Dell and [RE]Design Group utilizing pricing from The National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) contract #C000000878001, fulfilling the competitive bidding requirement (NMC 3.24.130). A quote has been provided for Council's review (Attachment A).

Page 26 of 343 ends

FISCAL IMPACT:

Funding for the one-time hardware and installation service cost of $115,400 is included in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grant Budget.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Strategic Direction #5 - Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets, and Action Plan 3 - Implement the actions identified in the IT Assessment and Strategic Plan.

IT Master Plan Initiative #53 - Server and Disk Storage Upgrade IT Master Plan Initiative #65 - Disaster Recovery Planning IT Master Plan Initiative #69 - Windows Active Directory REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY:

Prepared By: Nicole Huetinck, Admin
Department: Sheriff
SUBJECT:

Riverside County Sheriff’s Contract Amendment
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the Riverside County Sheriff’s Contract Amendment to include the conversion of one existing traffic enforcement deputy to a motorcycle enforcement deputy.

SUMMARY:

Implementing this amendment to the Law Enforcement Agreement will convert an existing traffic enforcement deputy position to a motorcycle enforcement deputy position.

BACKGROUND:

Recently, the Norco Sheriff’s Office evaluated cost-effective ways to address local traffic concerns and improve the safety of motorists traveling on the roadways within the City of Norco. It was ultimately determined that the best, most cost-effective solution was converting an existing traffic enforcement deputy position to a motorcycle enforcement deputy position. The initial upfront cost of the motorcycle and equipment was approximately $46,802. Based on the Sheriff’s current fiscal year savings, the total upfront costs were paid in full without negatively impacting the FY 2022-23 budget.

This change must now be amended to incorporate this change into the existing Agreement for law enforcement services. After delivery of the motorcycle and selection and training of the Deputy who will take this assignment, it is anticipated that the Motor Officer will assume his or her duties in Summer 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated reoccurring cost increase is $1,154 annually for the motor officer.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Chad Blais, Public Works Director
Department: Public Works
SUBJECT:

Amendment of FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to include additional funding for the Norco Elementary School Storm Drain Project, acceptance of bids and award of Contract for the Norco Elementary Storm Drain Project RECOMMENDATION:

SUMMARY:

Bids for the Norco Elementary School Storm Drain Project were opened on March 30, 2023, with Kirtley Construction, Inc. dba as TK Construction, Inc. of San Bernardino, California being the lowest responsible bidder. Therefore, it is recommended that a contract be awarded to Kirtley Construction, Inc. dba as TK Construction in the amount of $1,212,313 and authorize the City Manager to approve contract change orders up to 10 percent of the total bid amount.

BACKGROUND:

Plans and specifications for the Norco Elementary School Storm Drain Project were advertised on March 13, 2023, with a bid opening date of March 30, 2023. A total of six (6) bids were received with proposals ranging in value from $1,212,313 to $1,888,219.

The bid summary analysis has been attached for Council’s review (See Bid Summary).

The Norco Elementary School Storm Drain Project includes the installation of 1,570 linear feet of various size RCP storm drain and catch basins. The project also includes minor street improvements necessary to direct runoff into the proposed storm drain system (See Project Exhibit).

Page 48 of 343 ends

Staff has reviewed all the bids submitted and determined that Kirtley Construction, Inc. dba as TK Construction of San Bernardino, California, as being the lowest responsible bidder in the amount of $1,212,313 (see Bid Proposal). Staff has reviewed the references of the lowest bidder and bid documents submitted and determined the bid is responsive to all requirements and the contractor has the experience to complete the required construction activities for the Norco Elementary School Storm Drain Project.

The Norco Elementary School Storm Drain Project has an approved budget of $545,000 (Fund 129 - Project No. 4214.38; Account No. 129.935.43180 & 129.935.43180.30). The budget is insufficient to fund the low bid amount. The original cost estimate for this project was created in 2020 and was not amended in the FY 2023-2023 CIP Budget to reflect current construction costs, however, RCFC&WCD has indicated they would provide the additional funding for the project. Therefore, staff is recommending approval to amend the FY 2023-2027 CIP Budget to increase the project budget in the amount of $1,410,245 to ensure sufficient funding for the project ($1,212,313, the full bid amount, $51,700 for design), $25,000 for inspection services and a 10% contingency.

Funds for the project will be secured through a Funding Agreement with the Riverside County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (RCFC&WCD). Funding for the storm drain portion of the project includes 100% of the contract award amount, 100% of the design costs, 10% for design administration, 15% for construction contract administration and 10% for construction change orders.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Norco Elementary School Storm Drain Project was approved as a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project in the Storm Drain Fund in Fiscal Year 2021-2025.

Funds in the amount of $545,000 ($40,000 for design, $505,000 for construction) are not sufficient to fund the lowest bidder bid amount including the 10% contingency. Staff is requesting the appropriation of additional funding for construction costs in the amount of $865,245 for the project (Project Number 4214.38; Account Number 129.935.43180 & 129.935.43180.30).

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Construction of the Norco Elementary School Storm Drain Project is consistent with Strategic Direction #5 – Infrastructure and Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

Contractor shall furnish City with all certificate(s) and applicable endorsements effecting coverage required hereunder.

Upon request of City, Contractor shall immediately furnish City with a complete copy of any insurance policy required under this Contract, including all endorsements, with said copy certified by the underwriter to be a true and correct copy of the original policy. This requirement shall survive expiration or termination of this Contract.

If at any time during the life of the Contract or any extension, Contractor or any of its subcontractors fail to maintain any required insurance in full force and effect, all work under this Contract shall be discontinued immediately, and all payments due or that become due to Contractor shall be withheld until notice is received by City that the required insurance has been restored to full force and effect and that the premiums therefore have been paid for a period satisfactory to City. Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this Contract. No action taken by City hereunder shall in any way relieve Contractor of its responsibilities under this Contract.

The fact that insurance is obtained by Contractor shall not be deemed to release or diminish the liability of Contractor, including, without limitation, liability under the indemnity provisions of this Contract. The duty to indemnify City shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor. Approval or purchase of any insurance contracts or policies shall in no way relieve from liability nor limit the liability of Contractor, its principals, officers, agents, employees, persons under the supervision of Contractor, vendors, suppliers, invitees, consultants, sub-consultants, subcontractors, or anyone employed directly or indirectly by any of them.

In the event of a partial or total destruction by the perils insured against of any or all of the work and/or materials herein provided for at any time prior to the final completion of the Contract and the final acceptance by the City of the work or materials to be performed or supplied thereunder, the Contractor shall promptly reconstruct, repair, replace, or restore all work or materials so destroyed or injured at his/her sole cost and expense. Nothing herein provided for shall in any way excuse the Contractor or his/her insurance company from the obligation of furnishing all the required materials and completing the work in full compliance with the terms of the Contract.

If Contractor should subcontract all or any portion of the services to be performed under this Contract, Contractor shall require each subcontractor to provide insurance protection in favor of City, its officers, officials, employees and agents in accordance with the terms of each of the preceding paragraphs, except that the subcontractors' certificates and endorsements shall be on file with Contractor and City prior to the commencement of any work by the subcontractor.

3.2.10 Safety. Contractor shall execute and maintain its work so as to avoid injury or damage to any person or property. In constructing the Project, the Contractor shall at all times be in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations, and shall exercise all necessary precautions for the safety of employees appropriate to the nature of the work and the conditions under which the work is to be performed. Safety precautions as applicable shall include, but shall not be limited to: (A) adequate life protection and lifesaving equipment and

If such bond is required, no payment will be made to Contractor until it has been received and approved by the City.

3.2.11.2 Payment Bond. Contractor shall execute and provide to City concurrently with this Agreement a Payment Bond in the amount of the total, not-to-exceed compensation indicated in this Agreement, and in a form provided or approved by the City. If such bond is required, no payment will be made to Contractor until it has been received and approved by City.

3.2.11.3 Bond Provisions. Should, in City’s sole opinion, any bond become insufficient or any surety be found to be unsatisfactory, Contractor shall renew or replace the affected bond within 10 days of receiving notice from City. In the event the surety or Contractor intends to reduce or cancel any required bond, at least thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given to the City, and Contractor shall post acceptable replacement bonds at least ten (10) days prior to expiration of the original bonds. No further payments shall be deemed due or will be made under this Agreement until any replacement bonds required by this section are accepted by the City. To the extent, if any, that the total compensation is increased in accordance with the Agreement, the Contractor shall, upon request of the City, cause the amount of the bonds to be increased accordingly and shall promptly deliver satisfactory evidence of such increase to the City.

To the extent available, the bonds shall further provide that no change or alteration of the Agreement (including, without limitation, an increase in the total compensation, as referred to above), extensions of time, or modifications of the time, terms, or conditions of payment to the Contractor, will release the surety.

STAFF REPORT
Date: May 3, 2023 Agenda Item:

2.G.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Alma Robles, Planning Director
Department: Planning
SUBJECT:
2023 City Council Review on Accessory Building Regulations relating to Chapter 18.68 “Accessory Building Use Permits"
RECOMMENDATION:

The the City Council concur with the Planning Commission recommendations in response to the annual review of Chapter 18.68 relating to detached accessory buildings.

SUMMARY:

In 2017, Chapter 18.68 – “Accessory Building Use Permits” was adopted into the Norco Municipal Code (NMC), establishing an application and review process (Planning Commission approval is required), and establishing regulations for accessory buildings on properties zoned for residential uses. Review of the adopted regulations is required to update the regulations as needed based on implementation issues.

BACKGROUND:

Review of the Accessory Building Ordinance (Chapter 18.68) has been occurring every year since its adoption in 2017, and revisions have occurred in response to any matters/challenges that have surfaced along the way.

Attached for the City Council's review is Exhibit "A" - Chapter 18.6, which has been updated/amended following its adoption in 2017. The first revision in 2018 changed the mailing radius boundary to be 300 feet or to the distance needed to reach at least 25 property owners, the maximum size of a restroom was set at 50 square feet, and buildings 240 square feet or smaller and not higher than 14 feet were made exempt from having to go to the Planning Commission for review (but still require a building permit if over 120 square feet). In 2019, a revision established the maximum allowed height of an RV garage at 18 feet regardless of the height of the associated residential structure. In addition, the definition for the building height was revised to read, “Building height is the vertical distance measured from finished floor to the highest point of the roof measured from the

Page 112 of 343 ends

front (primary entry whether for vehicle or person) of the building.” There were no changes in 2020, 2021 or 2022.

Review of the ordinance on a yearly basis typically consists of: a list of accessory buildings approved in a prior year, and a discussion on any issues resulting from the ordinance that may warrant amendments.

Approved Accessory Buildings in 2022:

The following accessory buildings were approved in 2022:

Approved (9/14/22)
Site Plan 2022-11 Large Vehicle Approved (8/10/22)
Site Plan 2022-14 Large Vehicle Approved (10/12/22)
The last review on the subject ordinance was in April 2022, where there was discussion on concerns brought on by property owners relating to size restrictions, graduated setback restrictions, the cost to process an application, etc, however, both Planning Commission and the City Council agreed that no changes to the ordinance were warranted at that time.

For 2023, the following issues were discussed with the Planning Commission on March 8, 2023 as a part of the annual review of the Accessory Building Ordinance:
• Large Vehicle Buildings: The Planning Commission requested clarification on the intended design behind allowing a Large Vehicle Parking Building (Recreational and Agricultural Vehicles - Section 18.68.20) with a:
• maximum wall height of 16 feet, maximum overall height of 18 feet to the peak, and a maximum allowed size of 1,000 square feet, AND
• allowing an additional 400 square feet (for other uses) with a maximum wall height of 8 feet maximum overall building height of 14 feet (total combined square feet of 1,400 square feet).

The design that was envisioned with this provision was a large 1,000 square-foot building with an attached 400 square foot "lean to" building on one side. However this specific design was not codified. Creative designs have been presented and approved in the past where the allowed 1,000 square-foot building is not entirely at 18 feet tall, but that varies in height all the way down to 10-14 feet. The Lower height sometimes gives the appearance that the additional 400 square feet provision is exceeded, however, the total allowed square footage of 1,400 is not (Attached Exhibit "B" provided examples of creative designs that were presented at the Planning

Page 113 of 343 ends

Commission on March 8, 2023). One of the primary reasons for adopting the subject ordinance was to limit the size of large obtrusive buildings. Staff recommended that creative designs that actually lower the height of the building below 18 feet be encouraged, provided the overall allowed square footage is not exceeded. The Planning Commission agreed that creative building designs are fine as long as they meet the established criteria. To clarify this allowance, they agreed that a code amendment was necessary to Section 18.68.20 so that the additional 400 square foot allowance is not interpreted to only allow an attached "lean to" building. • Storage containers. There is provision in Chapter 15.02 -"Building Code" of the NMC for use of metal storage/cargo containers for accessory buildings with the approval of a Conditional use permit (CUP), and are subject to the zoning criteria as they pertain to accessory buildings. By default, the criteria that would be applied is the criteria found in Chapter 18.68. In this chapter buildings 240 square feet or smaller and not higher than 14 feet are exempt from having to go to the Planning Commission for review, but still require a building permit if over 120 square feet.

However, this does not currently apply to cargo containers since the more restrictive requirement of a CUP applies. Realizing the convenience of these air tight containers for items such as tack and feed storage, staff recommended that the code be amended to also exempt residential cargo containers from the requirement of a CUP and planning Commission review, but still require a building permit, provided they are 240 square feet or smaller, no taller then 10 feet, include architectural articulation, and that only one cargo container be allowed for every half acre (or as determined necessary), with a maximum of 4 on any given property. Larger containers would still require the discretionary approval of a CUP.

The Planning Commission agreed with staff's recommendation that the code be amended to exempt residential cargo containers from the requirement of a CUP and planning Commission review, but still require a building permit. Further discussion on the design criteria and how many, would be when a formal code amendment is brought forward.

The recommendations provided above are part of the required annual review of the Accessory Building Ordinance/Chapter 18.68. Formal amendments to the NMC will follow based on recommendations noted above per the required annual review.

18.68.02 Intent and Purpose.

It is hereby found and declared that the City of Norco lies in a natural setting of rural, scenic and historical beauty; that this rural environment generates a strong characteristic for development of Norco as a new equestrian focal point in Southern California; that this unique rural environment and historically significant location contribute a material economic advantage to the citizens, business, and industry within the City and particularly to the property owners who reside therein; and that development in an orderly manner with compatible uses and appearances of structures within and between zones and with the natural rural environment is necessary to maintain such historic and economic advantage, to stabilize, protect, and maintain property values, and to encourage permanence of desirable residential areas.

The purpose of the accessory building use permit is to review the location, architectural design, and/or conduct of certain land uses associated with accessory buildings in residential and agricultural zones. Accessory buildings and their associated uses can have a unique and distinct impact on the area and surrounding properties in which they are located, and thus require special review and conditions as needed. An accessory building use permit may be granted at the discretion of the Planning Commission, or City Council on appeal, whichever is the approving body, and is not the automatic right of any applicant.

Accessory buildings that are 240 square feet or smaller and not higher than 14 feet are exempt from having to be reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to the issuance of a building permit. (Ord. 1030 Sec. 1, 2018; Ord. 1019 Sec. 1, 2017)

18.68.04 Initiation.

An accessory building use permit may be initiated by the owner or owners (or their authorized agents) of property in the City, only where the proposed use is specifically authorized by the zoning that applies to the subject property. (Ord. 1019 Sec. 1, 2017)

18.68.06 Application.

Application for an accessory building use permit shall be made on a form provided by the Planning Department, and shall be accompanied by the following:

STAFF REPORT
Date: May 3, 2023 Agenda Item:

5.A.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Lori Sassoon, City Manager
Department: Administration
SUBJECT:

Discussion and possible action regarding AB 1000 (Reyes) concerning qualifying logistics use projects, also referred to as the Good Neighbor Policy RECOMMENDATION:

SUMMARY:

At the City Council meeting of April 5, the Council unanimously approved a motion by Councilmember Aleman to agendize AB 1000 for discussion.

This bill by Assembly Member Eloise Gomez-Reyes would prohibit local agencies from approving certain warehouse projects of 100,000 or more square feet within 1,000 feet of a "sensitive receptor", with an exception for these uses within 750 feet if certain air pollution analysis is completed and measures are implemented to reduce air pollution.

BACKGROUND:

AB 1000 (attached) is the latest in a series of legislative proposals introduced by Assembly Member Reyes over the last two years proposing limits on the development of warehouse/logistics buildings adjacent to or in proximity to certain uses. The bill was passed out of the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources on April 17, and is now moving to the Committee on Local Government.

AB 1000 is supported by a variety of public health, environmental preservation, labor, and other community organizations; it is opposed by the building industry associations, chambers of commerce. The bill analysis presented to the Natural Resources Committee, including the list of supporters and opponents, is also attached. CalCities has not taken a position on AB 1000 as of this writing.

Page 133 of 343 ends

The City of Norco has been considering the potential adverse impacts of large-scale industrial development over the last year. Key concerns from the community have included the size and scale of development relative to Norco's traditional low density, largely single-story development patterns, and the impacts of truck traffic on traffic flows and road infrastructure conditions. In Summer 2022, the City Council approved a moratorium on new industrial projects, and since that time new industrial development standards have been under development with the goal of mitigating the impact of these developments through limitations on building size, building height, and other measures.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the new standards on April 12, 2023, and these standards are agendized for the City Council's consideration on this same May 3, 2023 agenda.

As the City Council discusses AB 1000, it is helpful to reference the City's 2023 Legislative Platform which was adopted on February 15 (attached). The Platform has Local Control as its "overarching priority". Under this priority, the platform states "retain local control over all land use decision-making", "oppose any actions that seek to reduce city authority and/or increase state authority over operations of our cities", and "support the home rule authority of charter cities".

FISCAL IMPACT:

Not applicable for this item.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Direction #4 - Communication and Stakeholder Experience: Enhance the stakeholder experience, engage the community, and build brand awareness through proactive, effective and consistent communication.

ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 1000
AB-1000 Qualifying logistics use projects. (2023-2024)
AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MARCH 30, 2023
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION
Introduced by Assembly Member Reyes
February 15, 2023
An act to amend Section 65580 of add Chapter 2.8 (commencing with Section 65098) to Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, relating to land use.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1000, as amended, Reyes. Land use: housing. Qualifying logistics use projects. (1) Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, sets forth various requirements relating to the review of development project permit applications and the issuance of development permits for specified classes of development projects.

This bill would prohibit a local agency from approving the development or expansion of any qualifying logistics use, as defined, within 1,000 feet of sensitive receptors, as defined, except as provided. The bill would authorize a local agency to approve the development or expansion of a qualifying logistics use greater than 750 feet from a sensitive receptor and within 1,000 feet of a sensitive receptor only if the local agency takes certain actions, including, among other things, conducting a cumulative analysis of the air quality impacts of the warehouse development project, as specified. The bill would require a local agency, upon receipt of an application for a warehouse development project, to take certain actions, including posting information on its internet website that is easily accessible and easily understandable by the public, as specified.

The bill would require the lead agency to conduct at least one scoping meeting at a location within one mile of the project site, except as provided. At the scoping meeting, the bill would require the lead agency to provide a description of the project and any information known about the project’s potential environmental impacts and take public comments regarding potential environmental impacts of the project, as specified. In a meeting in which a warehouse development project is being considered, the bill would require the lead agency, upon request, to provide translation services in a requested threshold language.

By modifying and increasing the duties of local agencies with regard to qualifying logistics use projects, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The bill would authorize an individual affected by a violation of these provisions or the Attorney General to bring an action to enjoin a violation of the provisions of this bill. (2) The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities. (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Existing law declares the importance of, and general responsibility for, making housing available and affordable for all Californians.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.

Vote: majority Appropriation: no Fiscal Committee: noyes Local Program: noyes THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. Chapter 2.8 (commencing with Section 65098) is added to Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, to read:

CHAPTER 2.8. The Good Neighbor Policy
65098. This chapter shall be known, and may be cited, as “The Good Neighbor Policy.” 65098.1. For purposes of this chapter:
(a) “Development or expansion of any qualifying logistics use” means any of the following:
(1) The development of any qualifying logistics use.
(2) The expansion of any existing qualifying logistics use. (3) The expansion of any existing logistics use, where the logistics use after the expansion would be a qualifying logistics use.

(a) A local agency shall not approve the development or expansion of any qualifying logistics use that is within 1,000 feet of a sensitive receptor except as provided in subdivision (b). (b) A local agency may approve the development or expansion of a qualifying logistics use that is greater than 750 feet from and within 1,000 feet of a sensitive receptor only if the local agency does all of the following:
(1) Conducts a cumulative analysis of the air quality impacts of the warehouse development project, thoroughly considering the project’s incremental impact in combination with past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects, even if the project’s individual impacts alone do not exceed the applicable significance thresholds. When developing the analysis, the local agency shall identify actions to address cumulative warehouse impacts, including emissions and health risk analyses, as well as develop mitigation plans that include quantifiable reductions in pollution and incorporate cumulative impacts. (2) Requires all heavy-duty vehicles domiciled onsite to be model year 2014 or later from the start of operations and shall expedite a transition to zero emission vehicles, with the fleet fully zero emission by December 31, 2025, or when commercially available for the intended application, whichever date is later. (A) For the purposes of this subdivision, a zero-emission vehicle shall ordinarily be considered commercially available if the vehicle is capable of serving the intended purpose and is included in the California Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP). (B) The local agency shall be responsible for the final determination of commercial availability based on all the facts and circumstances at the time the determination is made. A local agency shall not determine that those vehicles are commercially unavailable unless the operator submits documentation from a minimum of three electric vehicle dealers identified on HVIP’s internet website demonstrating the inability to obtain the required electric vehicles or equipment needed within six months. (3) Requires owners, operators, or tenants of the qualifying facilities to utilize a clean fleet of light- and medium-duty vehicles as part of business operations. For any light- or medium-duty vehicle domiciled onsite, all of the following “clean fleet” requirements apply:

(6) Requires zero-emission truck charging or fueling stations proportional to the number of dock doors at the project, running conduit to designated locations for future zero-emission truck charging stations. (7) Requires constructing electric plugs for electric transport refrigeration units at every dock door and requires truck operators with transport refrigeration units to use the electric plugs when at loading docks. An owner of a facility is exempt from the requirements of this subdivision if the owner records a covenant on the title of the underlying property that ensures the property shall not be used to provide refrigerated warehouse space. (8) Requires installation of solar photovoltaic systems and companion battery storage on the project site of a specified electrical generation capacity that is equal to or greater than the building’s projected energy needs, including all electrical chargers and designing all project building roofs to accommodate the maximum future coverage of solar panels and installing the maximum solar power generation capacity feasible. (9) Prohibits trucks onsite from idling for more than three minutes and requires operators to turn off an engine when not in use.

Page 139 of 343 ends

(10) Prohibits the idling of heavy construction equipment for more than five minutes. 65098.5. Upon receipt of an application for a warehouse development project, a local agency shall do all of the following:
(a) Post information on its internet website that is easily accessible and easily understandable by the public regarding both of the following:
(1) The project, including a complete and accurate project description, maps, and drawings of the project design.
(2) The process by which interested members of the public can provide comments and input regarding the project.
(b) Mail or cause to be delivered a notice with a brief description of the warehouse development project and instructions to obtain information posted pursuant to subdivision (a) to both of the following:
(1) All owners and occupants of properties located within 1,000 feet of the project site. (2) All schools located within two miles of the project site. (c) Provide the information and notices required pursuant to this section in English and all threshold languages. 65098.7. (a) The lead agency shall conduct at least one scoping meeting at a location within one mile of the project site except as provided in subdivision (b).
(b) If the lead agency makes a good faith effort and is unable to secure a location for the scoping meeting within one mile of the project site, the lead agency may hold the meeting at another location that meets both of the following requirements:
(1) The meeting location is readily accessible to residents of disadvantaged communities located within onehalf of one mile of the project site. (2) If feasible, the meeting location is located within one-half of one mile of a transit stop. (c) If the scoping meeting is held on a weekday, the scoping meeting shall be held between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.
(d) At the scoping meeting, the lead agency shall do both of the following:
(1) Provide a description of the project and any information known about the project’s potential environmental impacts.
(2) Take public comments regarding potential environmental impacts of the project, including any social and economic impacts related to a direct or indirect physical change caused by the project, project alternatives, and mitigation measures that would avoid or reduce any potentially significant environmental impacts. (e) In a meeting in which a warehouse development project is being considered, the public agency, upon request, shall provide translation services in a requested threshold language. 65098.9. An individual affected by a violation of this chapter or the Attorney General may bring an action to enjoin a violation of this chapter.

SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares that Section 1 of this act adding Chapter 2.8 (commencing with Section 65098) to Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code addresses a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, Section 1 of this act applies to all cities, including charter cities.

SEC. 3. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because a local agency or school district has the authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or level of service mandated by this act, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code.

SECTION 1.Section 65580 of the Government Code is amended to read:

Page 140 of 343 ends

65580.The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a)The availability of housing is of vital statewide importance and the early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every Californian, including farmworkers, is a priority of the highest order. (b)The early attainment of this goal requires the cooperative participation of government and the private sector in an effort to expand housing opportunities and accommodate the housing needs of Californians of all economic levels.
(c)Providing housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households requires the cooperation of all levels of government.
(d)Local and state governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community.
(e)The Legislature recognizes that, in carrying out this responsibility, each local government also has the responsibility to consider economic, environmental, and fiscal factors and community goals set forth in the general plan and to cooperate with other local governments and the state in addressing regional housing needs. (f)Designating and maintaining a supply of land and adequate sites suitable, feasible, and available for the development of housing sufficient to meet the locality’s housing need for all income levels is essential to achieving the state’s housing goals and the purposes of this article.

Date of Hearing: April 17, 2023

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON NATURAL RESOURCES
Luz Rivas, Chair
AB 1000 (Reyes) – As Amended March 30, 2023
SUBJECT: Qualifying logistics use projects
SUMMARY: Prohibits local agency approval of a “qualifying logistics use” (e.g., a warehouse of 100,000 or more square feet) within 1,000 feet of a sensitive receptor, as defined, except that a local agency may approve a qualifying logistics use between 750 and 1,000 feet from a sensitive receptor if the local agency conducts specified air pollution analysis and imposes specified measures to reduce air pollution.

EXISTING LAW:
1) Allows a city or a county to “make and enforce within its limits, all local, police, sanitary and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws” (Article XI, Section 7, of the California Constitution). It is from this fundamental power (commonly called the police power) that cities and counties derive their authority to regulate behavior to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the public, including land use authority. 2) The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires lead agencies with the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a proposed project to prepare a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or environmental impact report (EIR) for this action, unless the project is exempt from CEQA. (Public Resources Code 21000, et seq.) THIS BILL:
1) Prohibits a local agency from approving the development or expansion of any qualifying logistics use that is within 1,000 feet of a sensitive receptor except that local agency may approve such development or expansion that is greater than 750 feet from and within 1,000 feet of a sensitive receptor only if the local agency does all of the following:
a) Conducts a cumulative analysis of the air quality impacts of the warehouse development project, as specified, and identifies actions and develops mitigation plans to address cumulative warehouse impacts.
b) Requires all heavy-duty vehicles domiciled onsite to be model year 2014 or later from the start of operations and shall expedite a transition to zero emission vehicles (ZEV), with the fleet fully ZEV by December 31, 2025, or when commercially available, as specified, for the intended application, whichever date is later.
c) Requires owners, operators, or tenants of the qualifying facilities to utilize a clean fleet of light- and medium-duty vehicles as part of business operations. Requires, for any light- or medium-duty vehicle domiciled onsite, 33% of the fleet to be ZEVs at the start of operations, 65% by 2024, 80% by 2026, and 100% by 2028.

Page 142 of 343 ends

AB 1000

d) Requires all onsite equipment used at the warehouse to be zero emission with the necessary charging or fueling stations provided.
e) Requires all off-road construction equipment used for the warehouse development project to be zero emission, where available, or hybrid electric-diesel and all diesel-fueled offroad construction equipment to be equipped with Air Resources Board (ARB) Tier 4 engines.
f) Requires zero-emission truck charging or fueling stations proportional to the number of dock doors at the project, running conduit to designated locations for future zeroemission truck charging stations. g) Requires constructing electric plugs for electric transport refrigeration units at every dock door and requires truck operators with transport refrigeration units to use the electric plugs when at loading docks. An owner of a facility is exempt from the requirements of this subdivision if the owner records a covenant on the title of the underlying property that ensures the property shall not be used to provide refrigerated warehouse space. h) Requires installation of solar photovoltaic systems and companion battery storage on the project site of a specified electrical generation capacity that is equal to or greater than the building’s projected energy needs, including all electrical chargers and designing all project building roofs to accommodate the maximum future coverage of solar panels and installing the maximum solar power generation capacity feasible. i) Prohibits trucks onsite from idling for more than three minutes and requires operators to turn off an engine when not in use.
j) Prohibits the idling of heavy construction equipment for more than five minutes. 2) For a project subject to the bill, requires a local agency to:
a) Post specified project details and provide specified notices in English and all “threshold” languages.
b) Conduct at least one scoping meeting, as specified, to describe the project and its potential environmental impacts, take public comments, and provide translation services upon request.
3) Authorizes an affected individual or the Attorney General to bring an action to enjoin a violation of the bill.
4) Defines terms for purposes of the bill, including:
a) “Qualifying logistics use” as any logistics use with 100,000 or more square feet of building space, including, but not limited to, warehouses. b) “Sensitive receptors” as one or more of the following:
i) A residence.
ii) A school.

Page 143 of 343 ends

iii) A daycare.
iv) A health care facility.
v) A community center.
vi) An established community place of worship.
vii)An incarceration facility.
viii) A public playground, public recreation field, or public recreation center.

FISCAL EFFECT: Unknown
COMMENTS:
1) According to the author:

Local governments throughout the Inland Empire have been approving large industrial warehouse projects at a rapid rate over the past twenty years. This has been contributing to declining air quality as there are now 4,000 individual warehouses occupying about 1 billion square feet in the region that generate approximately 600,000 truck trips a day which is equivalent to 50 million pounds of carbon dioxide. While CEQA exists to ensure environmental issues are addressed through the planning process, we are seeing projects be approved that still cause environmental and public health issues to our community. In the community of Bloomington, 6 out of the 8 schools are located within 1,000 feet of a warehouse. This is not sustainable land use for the community.

The Attorney General has sued local governments for failing to meet CEQA and not incorporating mitigation issues when approving warehouse projects. Most recently the City of Fontana in 2021 and the City of Stockton in 2022. The Attorney General has also put out a guidance memo for warehouse development that lists out mitigation measures for developers to consider adopting to align their projects with CEQA. That same memo cites that e-commerce has led to growth in the logistics sector over the past few years and that the Central Valley will likely see a growth in warehouse development over the next few years because of the available land in that area. This is clearly an issue that will continue and requiring additional mitigation measures when these projects are approved is the best way to frontload benefits for communities. A setback is necessary as proximity to pollution is the biggest factor for communities who live near warehouses, mitigation measures ensures that they will be clean if they get sited closer than 1,000 feet.

AB 1000 establishes the Good Neighbor Policy by requiring local governments to have a 1,000 foot buffer zone when siting warehouses over 100,000 square feet next to schools, homes, healthcare facilities, and other sensitive receptors. It would allow warehouses to be sited 750 feet away from sensitive receptors if the project adopts zero-emission vehicles for all classes of vehicles, zero-emission energy to power the facility, zeroemission equipment, and restricts idling and queuing for vehicles & equipment.

We are seeing that warehouses are often sited next to vulnerable communities over the objection of local residents. We have had residents who have had warehouses sited as close as 60 feet away from their homes. There are quality of life issues with having a massive industrial facility that close to homes and schools. It contributes to asthma, heart disease, cancer and other public health issues. ARB and the California Attorney General have recommend 1,000 feet as a buffer zone because it reduces exposure to diesel

Page 144 of 343 ends

AB 1000

Page 4 ends

particulate matter by 80%. Warehouses & logistics are a pivotal part of the Inland Empire economy however industry needs to be good neighbors to the community that has to live next to these massive industrial facilities.
2) South Coast Indirect Source Rule (ISR). In 2021, the South Coast Air Quality Management (SCAQMD) adopted the Warehouse ISR, which requires warehouses greater than 100,000 square feet to directly reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) and diesel particulate matter (PM) emissions, or to otherwise reduce emissions and exposure of these pollutants in nearby communities.

According to SCAQMD, warehouses are a key destination for heavy-duty trucks and have other sources of emissions like cargo handling equipment, all of which contribute to local pollution, including toxic emissions, to the communities that live near them. Emissions from sources associated with warehouses account for almost as much NOx emissions as all the refineries, power plants, and other stationary sources in the South Coast Air Basin combined.

Those living within a half mile of warehouses are more likely to include communities of color, have higher rates of asthma and heart attacks, and a greater environmental burden.

As part of the rule, warehouse operators will need to earn a specified number of points annually. These points can be earned by completing actions from a menu that includes acquiring and using natural gas near-zero and/or zero-emission on-road trucks, zero-emission cargo handling equipment, solar panels, or zero-emission charging and fueling infrastructure and more. As alternatives to the points system, warehouse operators can prepare and implement a custom plan specific to their site or choose to pay a mitigation fee. Funds from mitigation fees will be used to incentivize the purchase of cleaner trucks and charging/fueling infrastructure in communities near the warehouse that paid the mitigation fee. 3) ARB clean truck rules. In 2020, ARB adopted the Advanced Clean Truck (ACT) regulation to accelerate a large-scale transition to zero-emission medium-and heavy-duty vehicles from Class 2b to Class 8. One component of the regulation is a manufacturer sales requirement.

Manufacturers who certify Class 2b-8 chassis or complete vehicles with combustion engines would be required to sell zero-emission trucks as an increasing percentage of their annual California sales from 2024 to 2035. By 2035, zero-emission truck/chassis sales would need to be 55% of Class 2b – 3 truck sales, 75% of Class 4 – 8 straight truck sales, and 40% of truck tractor sales.

To further the transition to a zero-emission fleet, at the end of 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order (EO) N-79-20, which requires 100% of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in the state be zero-emission by 2045 for all operations where feasible and by 2035 for drayage trucks. EO N-79-20 charges ARB with developing and proposing medium- and heavy-duty vehicle regulations requiring increasing volumes of new zero-emission trucks and buses sold and operated in the state towards that goal. ARB is currently in the process of finalizing the Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) regulation. ACF, as proposed, requires all Class 2b-8 vehicles sold into California must be ZEVs starting in 2036. 4) Attorney General warehouse guidance, litigation, and settlements. The Office of the Attorney General has adopted a guidance memo titled Warehouse Projects: Best Practices and Mitigation Measures to Comply with the California Environmental Quality Act, last updated September 2022. The memo identifies best practices for avoiding and mitigating

Page 145 of 343 ends

AB 1000

impacts associated with warehouse development. According to the memo, examples of best practices when siting and designing warehouse facilities include “(p)er (ARB) guidance, siting warehouse facilities so that their property lines are at least 1,000 feet from the property lines of the nearest sensitive receptors.” The underlying data the memo cites in support of this recommendation found an 80% drop off in the concentration of diesel particulate matter emissions from distribution centers at approximately 1,000 feet. ARB and SCAQMD analyses indicate that providing a separation of 1,000 feet would substantially reduce diesel PM concentrations and public exposure downwind of a distribution center.

The requirements this bill applies to warehouses sited from 750-1,000 feet of any sensitive receptor appear to be drawn largely from a pre-litigation settlement the Attorney General entered with the City of Stockton in December 2022. While the conditions themselves are similar, implementation differs. For example, the conditions in the Stockton settlement are not direct requirements on either the City or a developer for any particular project. Instead, the Stockton settlement requires City staff to “propose a warehouse ordinance to identify and apply all feasible mitigation measures to qualifying warehouse and distribution facility projects to minimize their potentially significant environmental impacts…In preparing and proposing the warehouse ordinance, City staff shall consider including at minimum the conditions included in Exhibit A.” (i.e., conditions similar to those included in this bill).

Regarding a minimum setback, the Stockton settlement says “(q)ualifying facilities and their associated loading docks must be located no closer than 300 feet from sensitive receptors, and the City staff should consider the public health and safety benefits of requiring a larger buffer, up to 1,000 feet.”
5) How does the bill relate to CEQA? This bill requires processes, analyses, and measures that use CEQA-like terms and appear similar to CEQA. For example, the bill requires an analysis of air quality impacts and a scoping meeting that may otherwise be part of the lead agency’s CEQA process. In addition, some of the measures required by the bill may overlap with measures that could be required to mitigate significant air pollution impacts via the project’s CEQA review. It’s not clear how implementation of these requirements will relate to the lead agency’s CEQA process. Will they be implemented within CEQA, separate from CEQA, or instead of CEQA? If the bill’s requirements are intended to apply separately, and not duplicate or supersede CEQA, the intent should be clarified. 6) ZEV requirements seem aggressive, but may be ineffective at capturing warehouserelated diesel emissions. While the bill proposes ZEV requirements for warehouse vehicles that are far more aggressive than existing and proposed ARB rules, these requirements apply only to vehicles “domiciled onsite.” At the time the project is approved by the lead agency, prior to construction for a new warehouse, there may be no vehicles domiciled onsite. And regardless if the local agency is willing and able to enforce this requirement going forward, many of the trucks coming and going from the warehouse are likely to be domiciled elsewhere, either due to normal commercial practice in the freight industry or the warehouse operator’s intent to evade the ZEV requirements by registering its fleet elsewhere. 7) Why only warehouses? While the growth in new warehouse development, and these projects’ impacts on traffic and air quality, pose unique impacts on surrounding communities, it seems somewhat arbitrary to apply unique procedures and requirements only to warehouses, without regard to the actual impacts of a particular project. Warehouses are by no means the only land use that produces concentrations of vehicle emissions near residential

Page 146 of 343 ends

Page 6 ends

areas and other sensitive receptors. There are also many other land uses, such as industry with stationary sources, that may produce even higher intensity air pollution emissions and exposure.
8) Related legislation:

AB 1748 (Ramos), pending in the Assembly Local Government Committee, prohibits local agency approval of a warehouse of 400,000 or more square feet that is adjacent to a sensitive receptor, unless the local agency does either of the following:
a) Imposes a minimum setback of 300 feet from the building’s loading docks measured from the property line of any sensitive receptor.
b) Follows an industrial guideline framework, good neighbor policy, or sustainability ordinance adopted by the local agency, which, in its discretion, adequately balances siting qualifying logistics uses next to sensitive receptors.

AB 2840 (Reyes, 2022) required cities and counties within the Counties of Riverside and San Bernardino to impose setbacks on warehouses of 1,000 feet from sensitive receptors or equivalently protective alternative measures, as specified. AB 2840 was held in the Senate Governance and Finance Committee without a vote.

AB 1547 (Reyes, 2021) prohibited public agencies from siting warehouse developments within 3,000 yards of a sensitive land use. AB 1547 was held in this committee without a hearing.
9) Double referral. This bill has been double-referred to the Assembly Local Government Committee.

SUBJECT:

Proposal from R3 Consulting Group, Inc. to provide solid waste franchise agreement procurement services.

RECOMMENDATION:

City Council accept the proposal from R3 Consulting Group, Inc. to provide solid waste franchise procurement services for the City of Norco's next waste hauler franchise agreement.

SUMMARY:

The City of Norco's waste hauler franchise agreement will expire June 30, 2024 and the City Council is interested in beginning a waste services procurement process to determine the next hauler contract. Staff has obtained proposals from multiple consultants to provide professional services that can assist the City with a formal request for proposal and section process. Staff is recommending City Council accept the proposal from R3 Consulting Group, Inc. to provide solid waste procurement services for the City of Norco's next waste hauler franchise agreement.

BACKGROUND:

The City's existing franchise waste hauler agreement will expire June 30, 2024. There has previously been some discussion and desire expressed to conduct a formal request for proposal (RFP) process to determine the next waste hauler(s) to provide comprehensive and cost effective disposal and recycling services to meet Norco's residential and commercial needs. Staff has determined the prudent course of action is to hire a professional consultant with experience with procurement of solid waste services for municipalities by conducting and successfully completing a thorough and comprehensive RFP and selection process. However, the consultant must be able to develop a scope of work and timeline that will enable the City to complete the RFP and selection process in a timely manner to allow a successful transition of waste service haulers, if needed.

Page 157 of 343 ends

Staff was able to obtain two qualified proposals from R3 Consulting Group, Inc. ($121,000) and MSW Consultants ($110,000). Staff evaluated the proposals and determined both proposals provided clear delineation of the scope of work expected by the City and that each consultant has extensive experience in providing waste hauling consulting services exclusively to municipalities (no haulers to avoid conflicts. MSW Consultants is currently working with the City of Corona on its waste hauler franchise agreement and R3 Consulting Group, Inc. previously completed the waster hauler franchise agreement for the City of Eastvale. However, staff is recommending the City Council accept the proposal from R3 Consulting Group, Inc., as it is the consultant with experience with municipalities that require manure services, which is an important factor impacting the community.

Please note both consultants have indicated they could also provide an alternate scope of services to negotiate a new contract with the City's existing hauler, if that was a desire of the Council. While many of the components of the provided scope of work would still be required, the anticipated costs for such a process is anticipated to be about half for each consultant.

Staff is recommending the City Council accept the proposal from R3 Consulting Group, Inc. and award a contract in the amount not-to-exceed $121,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The funding for the contract services will be allocated from the Solid Waste Fund contractual services (158.810.34100). However, please note as part of the final franchise waste hauler agreement, staff anticipates that the selected hauler will be required to pay the cost for the selection process.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Approval of the consultant agreement is consistent with Strategic Plan Goal No. 3 - Economic Development & Financial Stability: Assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.

Mr. Chad Blais, Director of Public Works
City of Norco
2870 Clark Avenue, Norco, CA 92860
submitted via: [email protected]
SUBJECT: Competitive Procurement Assistance - R3 Proposal Dear Mr. Blais,
R3 Consulting Group, Inc. (R3) is pleased to submit the attached proposal to express our interest in the Solid Waste Consultant Services project for the City of Norco (City).

Introduction
Our team is uniquely qualified to provide the requested services to the City, in that we have the ability to leverage our current work efforts with neighboring jurisdictions. Most recently, for the City of Rosemead, R3 led the team in procuring new solid waste collection services through a competitive process - yielding unanimous City Council approval to transition from two franchised haulers (one for residential and one for commercial services) to a singular hauler and a focus on compliant organic collection programs.

R3 is at the forefront of SB 1383 compliance planning and implementation - we have been actively tracking the development of the regulations and have participated in the SB 1383 rule-making process through their finalization on November 3, 2020. SB 1383 has complex requirements which affect many aspects of solid waste collection and post-collection systems. While haulers can assist in implementation of many aspects of the law, agencies ultimately bear responsibility for its implementation. Our team is currently assisting clients throughout the state in implementing SB 1383 compliant programs.

Project Team
Carrie Baxter, Sr. Managing Consultant, will serve as Project Lead and primary point of contact. Scott Hanin, Ryan Calkins, and Angela Micheletti will provide direct support to Carrie. Our team also has the ability to draw upon additional staff members on an as-needed basis. Throughout this engagement, we will work with the City to establish a coordinated approach, thus facilitating a cost-effective and smooth transition into implementation for the City, the selected hauler, and, of course, for your solid waste customers. * * * * *
We are excited about this opportunity to work with the City’s team. Should you have any questions regarding our proposal or need any additional information, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly.

Sincerely,
Carrie Baxter | Sr. Managing Consultant

City of Norco | Competitive Procurement Assistance 1

1. SCOPE OF WORK
Project Understanding
The City of Norco currently holds one franchise agreement with Waste Management to provide solid waste collection services to residential and commercial customers which is set to expire on June 30, 2024.

The City is seeking a consultant to manage and facilitate a competitive procurement process for collection, processing and disposal of municipal solid waste, recyclables, organics, - including manure, and other materials from all sectors in the City, encompassing residential, multi-family, and commercial sectors.

Our proposed scope of work on the following pages demonstrates our ability to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the City’s solid waste collection system, provide recommendations for continued, expanded and new services as part of a new franchise agreement, and conduct a competitive procurement that provides the City with the best possible services at competitive and sustainable customer service rates.

We are prepared to work closely with City staff to ensure a fair and reasonably scheduled competitive procurement process.

R3 will focus on providing the City and the City’s rate payers with the following:
› Modern franchised services that incorporate all legislative compliance requirements. › Consistency in services provided throughout the City to all rate payers. › Economies of scale that result in best value to the City’s rate payers. › Streamlined franchise system that is more efficient and less costly for the City to manage and oversee. › High accountability standards for the franchised hauler. › Competitively procured market-based customer rates that reflect current costs.

Project Approach
We understand that undertaking a competitive procurement process is a complex and time-consuming effort and recognize that the City has limited staff to take on a project of this importance to the community.

R3 has assisted numerous cities and counties, with staffing levels like the City’s, on comparable projects and we are prepared to work closely with the City’s Project Team to complete all required tasks. Members of our team are currently or have recently assisted other jurisdictions including Eastvale, Santa Clarita, Pomona, Rosemead, Santa Clara County, Ventura County and Rancho Cordova making R3 uniquely qualified in our understanding of market conditions and proposer expectations.

Accordingly, R3 proposes to provide “full service” procurement and solid waste consulting assistance to complete this project. We are available to handle every detail of the competitive procurement process, at the City’s preference.

Our proposed scope of work is designed to allow R3 to act as an extension of City staff and assist in the following aspects of this procurement project:
› Conducting a comprehensive analysis of the existing solid waste collection program. › Providing recommendations for innovative and modern industry standard services to include in the franchise agreement.
› Preparing and issuing the RFP Package, including drafting:
– Program requirements
– Qualifications
– Evaluation criteria and methodology
– Draft franchise agreement
– Customer rate worksheets
› Providing recommended eligible service providers.
› Conducting a mandatory pre-proposers meeting with potential proposers.

1. SCOPE OF WORK

Page 161 of 343 ends

City of Norco | Competitive Procurement Assistance 2
› Preparing written responses to questions submitted regarding the RFP and preparing addenda as necessary. › Evaluating proposals.
› Coordinating site visits of facilities if necessary.
› Managing and facilitating interviews with proposers.
› Conducting negotiation sessions.
› Preparing staff reports and presentations.
› Finalizing the Agreement.
› Presenting recommendations to City Council.

Disclosure
Because R3 only provides services to public agencies, our clients receive unbiased opinions and recommendations throughout the negotiation and/or procurement process. We maintain excellent professional working relationships and have no conflicts of interest with landfill and facility operators or haulers.

More specifically, we understand what information these solid waste, recycling and organics collection companies will need to provide, how they can best provide that information, and can further anticipate and address business interest concerns that may arise during the procurement process. Our approach to working with solid waste, recycling and organics collection companies is to be direct, respectful of their time and effort, and help them prepare the best possible proposal for the City.

This approach helps remove barriers to hauler cooperation with negotiating final terms of a new agreement, minimizes the number of information requests to haulers, and provide for cost-effective completion of the project without the need for intensive City staff involvement. Our focus on providing services exclusively to public agencies helps ensure that the City’s best interests are represented.

Solid waste consulting firms who provide services to haulers/solid waste operators cannot provide this same level of protection. This vulnerability can result in an apparent – if not actual – conflict of interest, and in turn, limits the success of the project. Unlike our competitors, R3 has the staffing backgrounds from public agencies, solid waste firms, policy and financial companies, all of whom can aid the engagement as needed.

Scope of Work
Task 1 Kick-Off Meeting
Upon City authorization to proceed, R3 will facilitate a virtual project kick-off meeting with City staff. The meeting will provide an opportunity to review the project objectives, R3’s project approach, schedule, and data availability. The kick-off meeting will serve to set the expectations, project responsibilities, milestones and timeline for the Scope of Work and establish the best means for ongoing communication and collaboration between R3 and the City for the duration of this engagement.

One item of importance for discussion during the kick-off meeting will be how R3 and the City staff will work collaboratively to ensure that this project provides the best possible outcomes for customers and ratepayers, while still achieving meaningful compliance with the law. Also, at this meeting or sooner, R3 will develop an information request from the City or its current hauler to ensure as much accurate and current information is shared with prospective proposers.

After the Project Kick-off Meeting, R3 will provide meeting minutes including notes, schedule, and milestones.

Ongoing coordination will continue throughout the project through virtual meetings, schedule updates and/or status reports.

Please note: To provide the most cost-effective services, we have budgeted for some meetings to be virtual, including regular check-in meetings with the City staff. This approach has proven to be very successful in other similar engagements. In person meetings are still beneficial for completing major milestones of the project. As such, our proposal includes up to 4 in person meetings, which may include interviews with the proposers, final negotiations, sub-committee meetings and City Council presentations. Additional costs will be incurred for required attendance at in-person meetings; in excess of 4 meetings R3 will seek City approval of additional costs before they are incurred.

1. SCOPE OF WORK

Page 162 of 343 ends

City of Norco | Competitive Procurement Assistance 3
Task 2 Conduct a Comprehensive Solid Waste Analysis of the Current Programs Task 2.1 Compliance Analysis
As mentioned in Task 1, upon authorization to proceed, R3 will provide the City with a preliminary list of documents to review in support of this scope of work. R3 will provide an overview of current services and analyze those services as compared to the latest solid waste and recycling/organics trends, best management practices related to both franchise agreement services and terms and conditions, and updates of recent legislation (AB 341, AB 1826, SB 1383), all of which should be addressed in the City’s new franchise agreement.

Requested documents may include, but will not necessarily be limited to, the following:
› Current City-approved rate tables.
› Any available waste characterization studies.
› Prior rate and/or cost of service studies.
› Hauler account data (including number of accounts, service levels, tonnage and diversion reports, processing facilities, employee data, and vehicle inventory).
› Account information by sector.
› Prior engagement or direction from City Council related to the competitive procurement process.

The requested items, along with documents already in R3’s files, will assist with our analysis of the City’s current agreement and solid waste program. R3 will provide a matrix of potential current and recommended new services.

Task 2.2 Market Rate Analysis
R3 will build from prior work for neighboring jurisdictions and provide an analysis of solid waste rates and fees in Norco compared to other relevant local jurisdictions such as Colton, Eastvale, Fontana, Rialto, San Bernardino, and Upland. Based on current rates and available cost information, R3 will estimate the likely rate changes necessary to ensure compliance and cover program needs. It is important to note that while rates are the most common metric for comparison purposes and no two jurisdictions are identical with many factors go impacting rates making “apples to apples” comparisons difficult.

As part of this Task, we will provide the City in an electronic report format, an update of recent legislation, including AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383, all of which should be addressed in the City’s new Agreement. Information will include suggestions and/or recommendations for solid waste programs that the City may wish to consider.

R3 will include draft points for inclusion on the New Agreement for City that includes the following key elements:
› Summary update of recent legislation, including AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383. › Results of our analysis of the current franchise agreement and services, including recommendations for the new franchise agreement.
› Cost effective updates to the current Agreement that align with industry best practices, to be discussed with the City.
› Modifications to collection services and programs to incorporate recent legislative regulations and remain flexible enough to adapt to significant changes in the future. › Cost effective, efficient, and environmentally friendly designed program requirements, including zero emission vehicles.
› Industry best practices that focus on compliant collection programs, high-levels of customer service, and ensure transparency in rate setting and contractor performance.

This information will be combined into a final Solid Waste Analysis Report (administrative draft and final).

Task 3 Technical Document Development and Presentations Task 3.1 Develop a New Solid Waste Franchise Agreement
Using our experience bringing California municipalities into compliance with CalRecycle requirements, and with our understanding of recent state legislation, we will advise the City on the latest solid waste trends as it pertains to both franchised services and the Agreement development. This information will be discussed during our kick-off meeting, as well as in follow-up correspondence with the City. R3 will draft the new Agreement incorporating the information gathered in prior tasks. Because we are currently developing similar agreements for several clients, we can include the current industry standards and best practices for items such as performance bonds, indemnification, insurance, liquidated damages and reporting and record keeping requirements.
