TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Economic Development and Technology Committee (June 1, 2022) FROM: Department of Public Works
SUBJECT: UTILIZATION OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR OUTDOOR DINING RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the Utilization of Public Right of Way for Outdoor Dining is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301, 15303, 15304, and 15311, there are no features that distinguish this project from others in the exempt classes, and therefore there are no unusual circumstances;
2. Approve the revised sidewalk/alley and new on-street dining permit fees for inclusion into the FY 2023 General Fee Schedule;
3. Direct the City Attorney to draft an amendment to City's Sidewalk Dining on Public Walkways Ordinance , PMC 12.13 for inclusion of on-street dining within 30 days consistent with the provisions set forth herein; and
4. Adopt Design Guidelines for on-street dining installations to be effective September 1, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
Since March 2020, as restaurants faced COVID-related restrictions impacting their business operations , many cities utilized the public right-of-way to accommodate outdoor dining so that restaurants could remain open. Pasadena expanded upon its existing programs in accordance with Pasadena Municipal Code Chapter 12.13, Sidewalk Dining on Public Walkways, to allow for additional outdoor dining within private parking lots and on city streets. The selected locations for dining activities within city streets are evaluated by the Department of Transportation based on existing traffic flows, speeds, parking layout, and striping configurations . The areas are enclosed by MEETING OF _____ _ AGENDA ITEM NO. _ ___ _

traffic barriers such as concrete k-rails, water barrels, and/or meridians, purchased and deployed by the City for safety purpose.
On October 19, 2021, staff presented an update on the subject matter to the Economic Development and Technology Committee (Committee). The presentation included a history of the current city ordinance, the urgent program expansion due to COVID -19, the concept of revising the current fee structure, and the need for a more detailed design review for cohesive outdoor dining facilities. On December 8, 2021, Planning and Community Development staff presented recommended design guidelines for on- street dining installations to the Committee. See Attachment A.
Fees:
On May 28, 2020, Resolution No. 9788 was adopted by the City Council for the City Manager to issue a Fifth Supplement to the Declaration of Local Emergency authorizing certain COVl D-19 associated actions related to restaurants and retail businesses. As a result, outdoor dining in the public right of way including sidewalk, alley, as well as portions of barricaded streets are permitted with due process. All fees are waived as support and recovery efforts to the local businesses.
After two years of supporting restaurants with these new spaces, community · stakeholders have expressed interest for the continuation of the expanded outdoor dining program. Since the program's launch in May 2020, outdoor dining permits have been offered at no cost to applicants citywide. Per City Council direction, these permit fees will continue to be waived through June 30, 2022.
The City incurs costs related to the processing of outdoor dining permit applications, converting or reconfiguring of parking lanes for on-street dining uses, deploying traffic barriers and enforcing rules and regulations. The proposed base rates on occupancy per square foot per year are categorized by three business improvement districts (BID) - Old Pasadena Management, Playhouse Village, and South Lake - and the rest of the City as non-BID.
Staff recommends revised Sidewalk/Alley base rate by BID. If approved, these rates will be used to calculate the new On-Street Dining base rate plus additional charges to recover costs for traffic barriers purchased by the City. The table below shows the proposed outdoor dining fees for FY 2023, followed by the calculation methodology for each fee:

Sidewalk/Alley Base Rate Calculation Methodology: The FY 22 General Fee schedule contains 38 separate street rental rates by street segments. See Attachment B. Staff recommends calculating the revised sidewalk/alley base rates for each BID based on averaging the FY 2022 General Fee Schedule rates across their corresponding street segments, adjusted by the proposed Consumer Price Index from March 1, 2021 to March 1, 2022.
On-Street Base Rate Calculation Methodology: Staff recommends calculating the annual on-street base rate for each BID by using one-half of the proposed sidewalk/ alley base rate plus $1.50 per square foot per year to recover the cost the City incurred to purchase the traffic barriers. On-street dining uses along Colorado Boulevard are impacted by the annual removal and re-installation of barriers as a result of the City's obligation to prepare the parade route for the annual Rose Parade. The on-street dining rates for locations along the Rose Parade route will be prorated by 11/12 months due to the event-related removal of on-street dining. The cost for the removal and re- installation of all traffic barriers for on-street dining is borne by the City at approximately $70,000 per year.
Metered Parking Recovery Rate: Certain on-street dining locations may require removal of metered parking spaces resulting in parking revenue loss to the City. For locations where metered parking spaces are removed to accommodate on-street use, an additional $2.25 per square foot per year is proposed, yielding a projected 20 percent cost recovery of the loss in parking meter revenue.
To substantiate the formulation of the proposed fees, staff consulted a commercial real estate appraiser to perform an analysis on the range of fair market land value in the Old Pasadena and South Lake Avenue commercial corridors. The analysis concluded that the range of fair market commercial land rent is between $15 and $24 per square foot.

Outreach:
The Economic Development Division has been working closely with the Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) throughout the implementation of the outdoor dining program. On May 4, 2022, City staff hosted a webinar to provide updates to the existing permittees and BID representatives on the outdoor dining program. City staff provided an overview of th_e pJqp_o§ed_f~e structure, design guidelines, and implementation schedule. Approximately 50 restaurateurs (or their representatives) attended the meeting and were given the opportunity to ask questions and participate in an open dialogue with staff from Departments of Public Works, Transportation, Fire, Planning, Public Health and Economic Development. As follow-up to the meeting, staff distributed a link to the recording of the webinar along with a FAQ prepared in partnership with multiple city departments and the BIDs.
On-Street Dining Design Guidelines:
As previously mentioned, on December 8, 2021, staff presented to the Economic Development and Technology Committee a series of design guidelines to ensure that future on-street dining installations have a high-quality appearance. See Attachment A In summary, the guidelines recommend that such facilities be designed as a comprehensive whole with similar, high-quality materials, avoiding the use of "off-the- shelf' elements such as raffia panels, astro-turf, easy-ups, etc. The set-up shall display a sense of permanence, providing platforms aligned with the abutting sidewalk, and install lighting that does not require exterior wiring traversing the sidewalk. The Committee expressed agreement with the proposed guidelines, which are recommended for all on-street dining installations. Upon adoption, staff is recommending granting permittees until September 1, 2022 to implement the On-Street Design Guidelines, allowing them time to transition their current installations to meet these new guidelines.
Ordinance:
In 1992, the City adopted Pasadena Municipal Code Chapter 12.13, Sidewalk Dining on Public Walkways. The ordinance declared that "the use of public walkways for limited sidewalk dining areas can improve the business environment and enhance the quality of life for Pasadena residents so long as such use is not inconsistent with the underlying dedication for public right-of-way, does not impede travel and does not interfere with the rights of adjoining property owners. Therefore, the City may permit such uses on a temporary or non-permanent basis and as a special privilege, not as a matter of right." As such, an ordinance is required for the permitting of dining activities within the on- street portion of the public right of way. Said ordinance shall include similar requirements for design, operating, permitting, and enforcement. It is recommended that the City Council direct the City Attorney to draft an amendment to the Sidewalk Dining ordinance to address all outdoor dining, including on-street dining. Upon Council adoption, the amended ordinance will over-ride the City's Declaration of Local Emergency pertaining to on-street dining.

COUNCIL POLICY CONSIDERATION:
The proposed recommendations are consistent with City Council's Strategic Planning Goals to maintain fiscal responsibility and stability; and to support and promote the quality of life and the local economy.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The actions proposed herein are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301, 15303, 15304, and 15311. Section 15301 exempts from review minor alterations to existing public facilities, Section 15303 exempts from review the new construction of small structures, Section 15304 exempts from review minor alterations to land such as minor temporary uses of land having negligible or no permanent effects on the environment, and Section 15311 exempts from review placement of minor structures accessory to existing commercial facilities. The actions proposed herein would fall under each of these exemptions, as the actions proposed herein are minor alterations to roadways, are temporary, and are accessory to commercial uses. If this program becomes permanent, additional environmental review as appropriate will be considered. There are no features that distinguish this project from others in the exempt classes, and therefore there are no unusual circumstances that would cause these actions to fall outside of the exemptions.
Utilization of Public Right of Way for Outdoor Dining
June 13, 2022
FISCAL IMPACT:
Based on current active sidewalk and on-street dining permits, it is anticipated that approximately $276,000 of revenues will be received during the next fiscal year upon approval and adoption of the FY2023 General Fee Schedule: approximately $155,000 for use of sidewalk and/or public alley; approximately $100,000 for on-street dining (of which $20,000 will be designated for traffic barrier cost recovery); and, approximately $21,000 for parking meter recovery costs.

SUBJECT: “TINY VILLAGES” AS A STRATEGY TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for information only; no action is required.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pasadena continues to experience a homelessness crisis among its population. The results from the City’s last Point-In-Time Count indicates that 512 people were experiencing homelessness in February 2022, and 55% percent of those people were unsheltered (280). As the principal planning entity for the Pasadena Continuum of Care (“CoC”), the Pasadena Partnership to End Homelessness (Pasadena Partnership), led by the Department of Housing, coordinates and funds housing and services for people experiencing homelessness. For the past two years, the CoC’s investments in emergency shelter have focused on the provision of motel vouchers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the decompression of congregate shelter sites in order to quickly increase bed availability.
The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated many of the issues already plaguing the City’s unhoused population. Social distancing guidelines have forced the City’s congregate shelters to reduce their capacities by up to 75%. Thus, the need for new, non–congregate interim or “bridge” housing has grown more urgent. The “tiny home villages” model (“tiny villages”) as it is commonly known, offers one potential option to address this issue. The model has become popular nationwide and locally, and regulations for tiny villages have been adopted by several jurisdictions in California.
The spaces in which clients reside are generally considered in the industry to be detached dwellings of less than 100 square feet in floor area, providing separate, independent living quarters, and include basic functional areas for sleeping, restroom/shower and laundry facilities. The dwellings may be on a foundation and/or on Agenda Report

wheels, subject to local zoning standards. Typical tiny village projects consist of one- or two-bed dwellings with air conditioning, heating, standalone laundry, restroom and shower facilities, outdoor eating areas, and onsite security and supportive services. The average length of stay is targeted between three and twelve months.
State Law -- Planning and Zoning Considerations
There are multiple land use categories that may accommodate tiny village projects.
Tiny villages meet the State's definition of "Low-barrier Navigation Centers," which are places for housing or shelter in which a resident who is homeless or at-risk of homelessness may live temporarily while waiting to move info permanent housing.
Government Code 65662 requires that Low Barrier Navigation Centers that meet the standards in that code section are allowed by-right in all mixed-use zones. This supersedes local zoning regulations. The City has a number of mixed-use zones throughout the City which are primarily within the Specific Plan areas.
Another alternative that has been used in other tiny village shelters is the Shelter Crisis section of State law (GC Section 8698 - 8698.4) which would require local governments to declare a "shelter crisis" and allows jurisdictions to adopt by ordinance reasonable local standards and procedures for the design, site development, and operation of homeless shelters and the structures and facilities therein, to the extent that it is determined at the time of adoption that strict compliance with state and local standards or laws in existence at the time of that adoption would in any way prevent, hinder, or delay the mitigation of the effects of the shelter crisis. This approach would be an alternative to compliance with the Zoning Code, General Plan, and certain Building Code requirements.

Baldwin Park
Placed in service in November 2021, Esperanza Village is the first tiny village of its kind in the San Gabriel Valley. Each of the 25 units are heated and air-conditioned, with a bed, desk and electrical outlet. The 64-square-foot units are intended to provide bridge housing for up to three months before residents are placed in permanent housing, allowing up to 100 people a year to be served. Volunteers of America operates the project which includes providing on-site supportive services including case management, three daily delivered meals, and connections to health and mental health services. Additional site amenities include restrooms, laundry and shower facilities, and a dog run. The site has secured access and 24-hour security.
Eagle Rock
The Eagle Rock Tiny Village is located in an under-used parking lot between the east and west on-ramps for the 134 freeway and was opened in March 2022. The site has 48 units, including 3 ADA accessible units, equipped with two beds, electricity, and air conditioning, and is operated by Union Station Homeless Services which provides comprehensive wrap-around supportive services including case management and housing location services. The site is pet friendly and includes a pair of mobile hygiene trailers, laundry facilities and an outdoor seating area with shade. Residents are not required to submit to a curfew or drug testing, and neighbors in the surrounding area are able to contact the 24-hour on-site security with any concerns or issues.
Highland Park (Arroyo Seco site)
The Arroyo Seco tiny village, funded and built by the City of Los Angeles with 117 units, is the largest tiny village in California. The site opened in November 2021 and is the sixth tiny village site operated by Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission. The tiny village is situated on a sliver of the 6.8-acre Arroyo Seco Park on the north side of 11 0 freeway near Avenue 60. It was built at the edge of the park on existing asphalt to prevent the destruction of any trees and a nine-foot-tall barrier was installed on the freeway side to mitigate sound. The site also has three hygiene trailers, on-site laundry, water bottle filling stations, designated seating for food distribution and dining, as well as lighting and 24-hour security. Each resident living in the tiny village has full access to an array of social services including case management, housing navigation, mental health services, substance abuse counseling, as well as job training and placement.
North Hollywood (Chandler site)
Chandler Blvd is the first of a series of villages operated by Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission. The site officially opened its doors in North Hollywood in February 2021 and sits in a half-acre plot near the north end of North Hollywood Recreation Center. The first village of its kind in Los Angeles, Chandler Blvd has 39 units manufactured by Pallet Shelter that are 64 square feet in size, have two beds, heat, air-conditioning, windows, a small desk and a front door. The site was designed and funded by the City of Los Angeles and city-owned land was utilized to keep capital costs down. The site is also equipped with offices and laundry facilities, a dog run, hygiene trailers, and outdoor congregate space (including shaded tables for dining).

Montebello
The Montebello tiny village, Operation Stay Safe, is a joint project between the San Gabriel Valley Regional Housing Trust (SGVRHT) and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG). The site recently opened in May 2022 and is operated by Volunteers of America. There are 30 units in total, and each unit has a bed, shelves, overhead light, A/C and heat, an outlet, and a door that locks. The site also has shared restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities, as well as a communal meal space. The site has 24-hour security, privacy fenc ing, and a secured entry for the benefit of participants and neighbors. No illegal items or substances, nor visitors are allowed on site.
Participants also have the option to move in with their pets. Residents have access to three meals a day which are prepared off-site and delivered ready to eat.
Staff interviewed contacts for each project and solicited "lessons learned" regarding the development and operation of their tiny villages. Responses included the following:
1. Neighborhood buy-in is critical. Work with constituents once site location has been identified.
2. Economies of scale is important (some indicated a minimum of 50 units).
3. The biggest part of the capital budget is not the installation of the units but infrastructure (sewer, power, water hookups).
4. The design of the project should blend in with the neighborhood .
5. Plan for receipt and storage/refrigeration of food.
These case studies do not necessarily represent the full range of tiny village models.
For example, project sites may be private land as well as publicly-owned land. The Department will evaluate potential tiny village opportunities as they may arise and bring such projects to City Council for consideration as appropriate.

“Tiny Villages” as a Strategy
to Address Homelessness
Economic Development and Technology Committee
June 1, 2022
Department of Housing
BACKGROUND
• City’s recent Continuum of Care approach to emergency shelter i
n response to the pandemic has focused on
provision of motel vouchers and decompression of
congregate shelter sites
• COVID-19 guidelines have reduced capacities in City
shelter
s by up to 75%, creating the need for non-
congregate interim or “bridge” housing
• The “tiny villages” model is one potential option to address this is
sue, with projects implemented within the county,
throughout California, and nationwide
2 PAfADENA
Department of Housing
TINY VILLAGES – INDUSTRY STANDARDS
• Typical tiny village projects utilize detached one- or two- bed dwel
lings of less than 100 sf floor area
• Dwellings provide independent living quarters with A/C and heating
• Dwel
lings may be on a foundation or on wheels
• Standalone restroom, shower and laundry facilities
• Provision of outdoor eating areas, supportive services and onsite sec
urity
• Average length of stay is targeted at 3 to 12 months
3 PAfADENA
Department of Housing
PLANNING AND ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
Low-Barrier Navigation Centers
• There are multiple land use categories that may
accommodat
e tiny village projects
• Tiny villages meet the State definition of “Low-Barrier N
avigation Centers” – places where homeless clients may
live temporarily while waiting for permanent housing
• If such Centers meet the standards in GC 65662, they are allowed by-rig
ht in all mixed-use zones – there are a
number of mixed-used zones throughout the City which
are primarily within Specific Plan areas
4 PAfADENA
Department of Housing
PLANNING AND ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
Shelter Crisis Ordinance
• Another alternative used to implement tiny villages is the “Shelter
Crisis” section of State law (GC 8698-8698.4) in
which local governments could declare and adopt a
“shelter crisis” ordinance
• Such an ordinance would include local standards for the design, devel
opment and operation of shelters, to the
extent that it is determined that strict compliance with existing state and local standards would prevent, hinder or delay the mitigation of the effects of the shelter crisis • This approach would be an alternative to compliance with the Zoning C
ode, General Plan, and certain Building Code
requirements

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
June 1, 2022
TO: Economic Development and Technology Committee
FROM: Matthew E. Hawkesworth
Director of Finance
SUB JECT: Follow-up from May 17, 2022 Economic Development and Technology Committee Meeting
This memo is the response to questions raised by the Economic Development and Technology Committee during the budget workshop on May 17
th regarding the Housing Department’s Fiscal Year
(FY) 2023 Recommended Operating Budget.
Housing Department
1. MASH Program:
• The total MASH Program Budget is $1,276,546 (see Allocations table below) a. The total cost fully burden for three (3) MASH Supervisors is $383,447 (paid from $259,322 Billables, $124,125 CDBG, and $0 General Fund, highlighted in table below). b. MASH Billables (Fund 105; Org 10516023)
Every project includes the hourly burdened rate for 1 supervisor, 2-4 trainees, a two-hour admin fee, and materials. Curb address painting is the only exception. This service does not require a supervisor on-site, so the homeowner is billed a fixed rate covering one trainees' time and materials. CDBG absorbs all costs associated with eligible rehabilitation projects if a homeowner is part of the Pasadena Single Family Residence Rehabilitation (PSFRR) program. Homeowners that are not in the PSFRR program are responsible for the cost of their project.
• Projected that other departments will absorb a total cost of $547,984 through work orders;
• Admin costs of $285.10 (a two-hour charge for Program Coordinator/Office Assistant) are included with each project for admin to review and process docs; • Work Order/Job Costs do include vehicles, materials, and tools, when applicable; c. CDBG Program (Fund 219; Org 21916022) $350,000 total allocated for CDBG related work only;
d. General Fund (Fund 238; Org 23816024) $378,562 budgeted for MASH hours not eligible/covered under CDBG/Billables, including shop time.
2 2. Development Project Leveraging:
The City investment in affordable housing over the two-year period from 2/25/2020 to 3/4/2022 for three affordable housing development projects currently under construction (Lincoln Orange Grove, Salvation Army Hope, and Heritage Square South) totals $24.9M in funding and ground lease land value. Developers of these projects were able to obtain an additional $77.9M in tax credit equity, bond financing, and other government funding for these projects to enable them to become viable financially. Many of these outside funding sources come from highly competitive processes.
3. Homeless Funding:
• The Department currently has just over $6.8 million budgeted to serve residents who are experiencing and at risk of homelessness in the upcoming fiscal year. This figure is not inclusive of homeless services funding in other departments’ budgets such as the HOPE Team in the Police Department and the PORT Team in the Public Health Department, nor does it reflect the work of many community-based organizations funded through other public and private entities. • Annual Homeless funding allocated to the following Project Based Vouchers (Rental Assistance - HAP only): Centennial Place $924K and Marv’s Place $334K. • Subsequent to Housing’s budget presentation, Supervisor Barger’s Office notified the City that the County will be considering direct block grant type funding for cities with Continuum of Care programs, which includes Pasadena. Funding approval is expected in June of this year and may be available as early as July.
