Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – INTERIM WAREHOUSE URGENCY
ORDINANCE ADOPTING A 45-DAY MORATORIUM ON THE

ESTABLISHMENT, EXPANSION, INTENSIFICATION, OR

MODIFICATION OF WAREHOUSES, DISTRIBUTION CENTERS,

AND RELATED LAND USES IN ALL INDUSTRIAL ZONES
Recommendation:

2. Find that the proposed action is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review.

Fiscal Impact:

This moratorium is not anticipated to have a direct fiscal impact to the General Fund.

Discussion:

In a 2022 Warehouse Projects report by the Attorney General for the State of California, rising consumer expectations of rapid shipping and convenience have contributed to the proliferation of e-commerce and warehouse development. The report from the state suggests that consumer demand for e-commerce is expected to continue with an upward trend, therefore resulting in a high demand for warehouse development. The Attorney General points out how the concentration of industrial warehouse development in Southern California can be attributed to the region’s ports, population centers, and vast transportation network.

Over the past five years, the City of Pico Rivera (City) has entitled six (6) industrial facilities (collectively, “Warehouses"), with project descriptions consisting of warehousing, 1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING – INTERIM WAREHOUSE URGENCY ORDINANCE ADOPTING A 45-DAY MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXPANSION, INTENSIFICATION,

LAND USES IN ALL INDUSTRIAL ZONES

distribution, crossdocking facilities, and other similar uses that have the potential to increase the amount of truck traffic within the City’s boundaries and surrounding areas.

In recent months, there has been a noticeable increase of inquiries by developers and brokers pertaining to the development of new Warehouse facilities. In addition, Planning staff has received calls with proposals for tenant improvements to existing sites that pertain to warehousing, logistics, and related uses. Staff, within the City believes Pico Rivera continues to be a prime location for Warehouse developers and prospective industrial business operators due to the City’s proximity to Interstates 605, 60, and 5 Freeways. Moreover, the City has five (5) major thoroughfares that serve commuters traveling in an east and west direction. These five (5) throughfares are: 1) Beverly Boulevard, 2) Whittier Boulevard, 3) Washington Boulevard, 4) Slauson Avenue, and 5) Telegraph Road, which are identified as truck routes in the General Plan. These roads can serve as an alternative path of travel and freeway bypass for freight vehicles that are transporting goods from the Los Angeles area to cities located to the east of Pico Rivera.

Traffic, Health, and Safety Issues
In May of 2021, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) adopted Proposed Rule 2305 known as the Warehouse Indirect Source Rule (PR 2305) aimed towards reducing emissions from vehicles associated with warehouses and distribution centers. In the final staff report associated with PR 2305, SCAQMD notes specifically that these type of facilities “are also associated with important localized health effects from air pollution.” In 2005, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) looked at Distribution Centers and found that “particulate matter exposure is associated with premature mortality and health effects including asthma exacerbation and hospitalization due to aggravating heart and lung disease.” CARB recommends “taking into account the configuration of distribution centers” and “locating new sensitive land uses away from the main entry and exit points” to help “reduce cancer risk and other health impacts.” Some Warehouse facilities, and associated transportation activities, can operate 24- hours-a-day and have the potential to generate significant truck traffic in Pico Rivera and adjacent communities. According to the State Attorney General’s Warehouse Projects report, truck traffic can lead to environmental issues including traffic congestion, poor air quality, noise, and vibration when located near sensitive receptors such as schools, homes, and public recreation facilities. Freight trucks travel City streets to reach their destinations and because of their size, can pose unique and challenging traffic issues such as:
• Increased safety risk for smaller vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists; • Damage to City property/facilities from collisions (reported and unreported); i.e., streetlights, traffic signal equipment, signs, trees, curbs, medians, etc.; • Reduced levels of service on streets and at intersections; and • Impacts to paved surfaces.

LAND USES IN ALL INDUSTRIAL ZONES
PAGE 3 of 4
The Attorney General’s Warehouse report about the potential for detrimental impacts to city streets, public health, and the environment is consistent with the assessments contained in the 2021, SCAQMD staff report. With a comprehensive strategy, policies, and goals to mitigate negative impacts, Warehouse activities can contribute to the economy and consumer welfare. However, if not properly regulated through effective ordinances, the impacts from Warehouses, logistical facilities, and related land uses pose an immediate threat to public health, safety, and welfare for residents of the City and surrounding communities.

Activities Subject to the Interim Urgency Ordinance
All existing and proposed Warehouses and related facilities, as defined within the interim urgency ordinance, are subject to this moratorium. Pursuant to Sections 36934 and 65858 of the Government Code of the State of California, the interim urgency ordinance shall prohibit the development or approval of any new establishment, expansion, intensification, or modification of warehouses and related uses anywhere in the City. The City will not accept any new applications, further process submitted applications, issue any permits, or approve any entitlements including but not limited to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), Precise Plan of Design (PPD), and/or any other permit that is found to contribute to the establishment, expansion, intensification, or modification of warehouses and related uses anywhere in the City.

Furthermore, due to the various definitions for Warehouse activities and any ambiguity that may arise during the enforcement of this interim urgency ordinance, the City’s Zoning Administrator, as authorized under Section 18.06.100 of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code (PRMC), shall determine if a particular land use is considered a “compatible use,” and/or related to those land uses intended to be included in the interim urgency ordinance.

Exemptions from the Moratorium
This moratorium shall not prohibit the following:

1. The annual renewal of an existing business license.

2. The transfer of business license and/or ownership when the land use remains the same and the establishment has not ceased operations to the public for more than six months.

3. Any permits necessary for routine maintenance or repairs due to an emergency or to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

4. Tenant improvements within an existing building provided they would not be considered an expansion or intensification of the building or use as determined by the Community and Economic Development Director.

5. The establishment of any warehouse that has already received full approvals.

Ordinance Adoption
Adoption of the proposed interim urgency ordinance requires a favorable four-fifths (4/5) vote of the City Council. If adopted, the ordinance will take effect immediately for a period CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING – INTERIM WAREHOUSE URGENCY ORDINANCE ADOPTING A 45-DAY MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXPANSION, INTENSIFICATION,

of 45 days, at which time it will automatically expire unless extended by the City Council.

A similar non-urgency ordinance, following the usual procedures of a non-urgency ordinance, will be processed separately and submitted to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation to the City Council for adoption. Processing a non-urgency ordinance with the urgency ordinance is recommended in case the urgency ordinance’s findings are challenged, because the non-urgency ordinance will have taken effect and rendered the legal challenge of the urgency ordinance moot.

If the Interim Urgency Ordinance is approved, City Staff will take the following next steps:
a) Review and consider options for the regulation of Warehouses and related uses; and
b) Within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of this urgency ordinance, issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of the interim urgency ordinance; and
c) Make said report available to the public.

At that time, staff will ask City Council to consider the report and determine whether conditions exist to justify and extension of the moratorium.

Environmental Impact:

The action proposed herein is not subject to environmental review pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) pertain to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect change to the environment and that are not defined as a project under Section 15378(b).

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the interim urgency ordinance, pursuant to California Government Code Section 36937(b), to take effect immediately upon approval to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Pico Rivera.

SECTION 4. MORATORIUM. Accordingly, the Pico Rivera City Council hereby adopts a moratorium pursuant to California Government Code Section 65858 for the development or approval of any new establishment, expansion, intensification, or modification of Warehouses and related uses anywhere in the City. The City shall not accept any new applications, further process accepted applications, issue any permits including but not limited to business licenses, or approve any entitlements including but not limited to a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and a Precise Plan of Design (PPD). This Interim Urgency Ordinance is enacted pursuant to Sections 36934 and 65858 of the Government Code of the State of California, and in accordance therewith, shall be of no further force and effect forty-five (45) days after the adoption of this Ordinance unless extended in accordance with Section 65858 of the Government Code. The City Council hereby finds, determines, and declares that the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare necessitates the enactment of this Ordinance as an urgency ordinance. The City Council further finds there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare necessitating the adoption of this Ordinance as an Interim Urgency Ordinance under Section 65858.

Said findings are as follows:

A. The City recognizes the increasing growth trend of large warehouses, distribution facilities, and related industrial land uses within the boundaries of Pico Rivera and surrounding jurisdictions. These facilities have the potential to generate environmental impacts on neighboring properties and the larger community, including truck traffic, noise from on-site operations, air quality issues, and impacts to City streets.

B. Government Code Section 65858 authorizes the City Council, in order to protect public health, safety, and welfare, to adopt an Interim Urgency Ordinance prohibiting a use that is in conflict with a contemplated general plan, specific plan, Interim Urgency Ordinance No. ____

Page 5 of 7 ends

or zoning proposal that the legislative body, planning commission, or planning department is considering or studying or intends to study within a reasonable time, provided that the urgency ordinance shall require a four-fifths (4/5) vote of the legislative body for adoption and shall be of no further force and effect 45 days from its date of adoption, unless duly extended.

C. Because of the actual and potential detrimental impacts of warehouse and related uses upon the City, which impacts may not be presently adequately addressed by the City’s existing ordinances and zoning regulations, there is a need to impose a temporary moratorium on the establishment, expansion, or modification of warehouses and related uses.

This moratorium shall not prohibit the following:

1. The annual renewal of an existing business license.

2. The transfer of business license and/or ownership when the land use remains the same and the establishment has not ceased operations to the public for more than six months.

3. Any permits necessary for routine maintenance or repairs due to an emergency or to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

5. The establishment of any warehouse that has already received full approvals.

SECTION 5. DURATION OF ORDINANCE. This Moratorium is enacted pursuant to the authority conferred upon the City Council of the City of Pico Rivera by Government Code Section 65858, and therefore shall be in full force and effect immediately upon its adoption by a four-fifths vote of the City Council. This Moratorium shall continue in effect for forty-five (45) days from the date of its adoption and shall thereafter be of no further force and effect, unless, after notice pursuant to Government Code Section 65090 and a public hearing, the City Council extends the Moratorium for an additional period of time pursuant to Government Code Section 65858. By separate actions of the City Council, the Moratorium may be extended for an additional 10 months and 15 days and, thereafter, for an additional 1 year.

SECTION 6. ENFORCEMENT. The City of Pico Rivera may enforce any provision of this Ordinance by mandamus, injunction, or any other appropriate civil remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction. Violations of this Ordinance are subject to the remedies and penalties set forth in Chapter 1.20 of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code.

(1) Review and consider options for the regulation of Warehouses and related uses; and
(2) within ten (10) days prior to the expiration of this Urgency Ordinance, issue a written report describing the measures taken to alleviate the conditions which led to the adoption of the ordinance; and
(3) shall make said report available to the public.

SECTION 8. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.

Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) pertain to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect change to the environment and that are not defined as a project under Section 15378(b).

SECTION 9. SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, line, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this Urgency Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, either facially or as applied, by a decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Urgency Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Pico Rivera hereby declares that it would have passed this Urgency Ordinance, and each and every individual section, subsection, line, sentence, clause, phrase, or word without regard to any such decision.

SECTION 10. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance is an urgency ordinance adopted by the necessary four-fifths (4/5th) vote of the members of the City Council pursuant to California Government Code Section 36937(b) and shall take effect immediately upon adoption.

AN UPDATE TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE REFLECTING

REQUIRED AMENDMENTS BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT

OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT AFTER FINAL
REVIEW OF THE SIXTH CYCLE 2021-2029 HOUSING

ELEMENT
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution approving Zone Code Amendment No. 194 amending the Zoning Code to meet State mandated requirements;

2. Introduce and waive the first reading of an ordinance amending Title 18, Zoning, of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code herein as Zone Code Amendment No. 194; and

3. Find the Project categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162(b) and 15061(b)(3).

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with the Zone Code Amendment.

Background:

On September 27, 2022, the City Council adopted the Sixth Cycle Housing Element for the 2021-2029 planning period. The newly adopted Housing Element includes a Housing Plan with goals, policies, and programs that will ensure the City meets the State mandated Regional Housing Needs Assessments (RHNA). The RHNA is the number of housing units that a city is required to plan for by identifying sites throughout the City that are suitable and zoned for housing development. During this planning period Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) assigned 1,024 housing units to the City.

On August 1, 2023, the City Council adopted Zone Reclassification No. 328, applying an R-40 Overlay Zone (Overlay Zone) to 69 parcels that were identified as suitable for 2 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2024 ZONE CODE AMENDMENT NO. 194 – AN UPDATE TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE

development thereby increasing their currently permissible density from 30 units per acre to 40 units per acre and allow for the potential development of the 1,024 housing units.

On August 1, 2023, the City Council also adopted Zone Code Amendment No. 190 establishing a basis for Objective Design Standards for the City to utilize in reviewing residential development proposals. This was in response to Senate Bill (SB) 35 and SB 330 which requires residential projects to be reviewed against Objective Design Standards. Objective Design Standards are defined as standards that involve no personal or subjective judgement by a public official and are uniformly verifiable by reference to an external and uniform benchmark or criterion available and knowable by both the development applicant or proponent and the public official prior to submittal. For example, a hearing officer (e.g., zoning administrator) or other hearing body (e.g., planning commission) can review the design merits of a project and call for a project proponent to make design-related modifications, but cannot exercise judgment to reject, deny, or modify the “residential use” itself.

Discussion:

On September 22, 2023, the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) provided comments and requested amendments to Zone Code Amendment No. 190 to meet the following requirements to State law:
• Residential development proposals within the Overlay Zone may not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or other discretionary local government review or approval.
• Parcels within the Overlay Zone will have a minimum density of 20 dwelling units per acre.
• Residential development proposals within the Overlay Zone may be 100 percent residential projects (no mixed-use requirement).
• Mixed-use development proposals within the Overlay Zone shall require residential use to be at least 50 percent of the gross floor area of the project.

The proposed Zone Code Amendment No. 194 addresses HCD’s findings and will allow the City’s Sixth Cycle Housing Element Update to with State law.

Environmental Analysis:

In conjunction with the adoption of the Sixth Cycle Housing Element, on September 27, 2022, the City Council adopted an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH No. 2021120397) (MND) pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On August 1, 2023, in conjunction with the adoption of Zone CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2024 ZONE CODE AMENDMENT NO. 194 – AN UPDATE TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE

PAGE 3 of 3
Reclassification Amendment No. 328 and Zone Code Amendment No. 190, the City Council adopted an addendum to the MND.

Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(b), unless any of the changes to a project or its circumstances, or new information becomes available that triggers a subsequent Environmental Impact Report or Mitigated Negative Declaration under subsection 15162(a), the City shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. The proposed Zoning Code amendment will not result in any potentially significant impacts that were not already analyzed under the previous MND or addendum thereto. The actions taken under this resolution are also exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that there is no possibility that the actions will have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed amendments fall within the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. In that the proposed amendments provided reflect recent changes in state law and HCD findings. The amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment; and therefore, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution approving Zone Code Amendment No. 194 amending the Zoning Code to meet State mandated requirements and introduce and waive the first reading of an ordinance amending Title 18, Zoning, of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code herein as Zone Code Amendment No. 194.

SECTION 5. Note 66 of Section 18.42.050, Special Use Conditions and Chart notes, of Title 18 of the Pico Rivera Zoning Ordinance is hereby created as follows:

Note 66. The underlying zone shall dictate whether an entitlement is required for standalone development. Multi-familyResidential developments located on the Housing Element sites (2021-2029 Housing Element sites identified in the General Plan) shall be approved by-right (without discretionary approval) provided the development standards for the zone and the streamlined administrative review under Section 18.40.050 Note (76) are met. A minimum of twenty dwelling units per acre and maximum of forty dwelling units per acre for the housing opportunity sites shall be required and shall prevail over base zoning if applicable.

In order to utilize the streamlined approach, the developer must restrict at least 20% of the units as affordable to lower income households as defined under Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code. A mixed-use project shall require the residential use to be at least 50 percent of the gross floor area. Projects located on the Housing Element sites (2021- 2029 Housing Element sites identified in the General Plan) may be one hundred percent residential. No minimum percentage of non-residential uses is required.

Calculations for the required affordable housing resulting in a fraction of 0.5 or more shall be rounded up to the next whole number. A streamlined housing project proposed under SB 35 shall comply with all requirements of Government Code 65913.4.

SECTION 6. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this article, or any part thereof, is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this article or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this article irrespective of the fact that one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective. To this end, the provisions of this article are declared to be severable.

SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance, and it shall take effect thirty (30) days after its passage. [Signatures on following page]

Meeting Date: February 27, 2024
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – APPROVE AN EXCLUSIVE

NEGOTIATION AGREEMENT WITH TIERRA MIA COFFEE

COMPANY TO NEGOTIATE THE SALE AND PURCHASE
OF 9003 BEVERLY BOULEVARD
Recommendation:

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with this approval. A fiscal impact may occur when a formal Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) is approved by City Council at a future date prior to the sale of the property.

Background:

The City of Pico Rivera (City) is the owner of certain real property identified as 9003 Beverly Boulevard and having Assessor Parcel No. APN: 8121-003-902 (Property). The Property contains approximately 25,810 square feet of land zoned General Commercial (G-C). The City acquired the Property in 2017 as part of the I-605 Corridor Improvement Project which entailed several improvements to major corridors along the I-605 freeway including on- and off-ramps and enhancements to intersections near the I-605 freeway.

Specifically, a Memorandum of Understanding was approved with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the City to receive Measure R funds to undertake four (4) Hot Spot Intersection Improvement Projects (Hot Spots Projects) along Rosemead Boulevard at Beverly Boulevard, Washington Boulevard, Whittier Boulevard and Slauson Avenue.

The Hot Spots Projects entailed improvements at the four (4) intersections to improve congestion and traffic flow, which required the acquisition of certain real property. The improvement on Beverly Boulevard consisted of the acquisition of the subject Property, which was developed with a two-story commercial building, that was demolished in order to accommodate a right-hand turn lane at northeast intersection of Beverly Boulevard and 3 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING – APPROVE AN EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATION AGREEMENT WITH TIERRA MIA COFFEE COMPANY TO NEGOTIATE THE SALE AND PURCHASE 9003

BEVERLY BOULEVARD

Page 2 of 3 ends

Rosemead Boulevard. The Hot Spots Project was completed in October 2021 and the Property has since remained vacant.

On November 8, 2022, the City declared the Property as Surplus Land pursuant to the California Surplus Lands Act (Act). The City received a letter from the California State Department of Housing and Community Development on February 28, 2023, stating that the City met all requirements under the Act for the purposes of disposing of the Property and is permitted to proceed with the sale or lease of the Property.

Discussion:

The City hired Colliers, a commercial real estate brokerage firm, to assist the City in marketing the Property to potential buyers. Colliers posted a sign on the Property, advertised the Property on various online real estate platforms, and performed active outreach with potential developers and retailers. Colliers received 10 offers to purchase the property. On August 29, 2023, Colliers presented the offers to the City Council Economic Development Ad Hoc Committee (Ad Hoc Committee) where four (4) potential buyers were selected to proceed to the next stage of the selection process based on various factors including development experience, offer price, and the amount of community benefit resulting from proposed development.

On November 21, 2023, the Ad Hoc Committee interviewed Tierra Mia Coffee Company, SBH Real Estate Group, Rodman Properties, and Frisco’s Carhops. The Ad Hoc Committee recommended that Tierra Mia Coffee Company’s proposal offered the most community benefit due to the strength of their purchase price, philanthropic presence in the community, quality of recent development, and willingness to explore a second retail use on the site.

Tierra Mia Coffee Company’s proposal for the Property includes an approximately 2,970 square foot drive-through retail building (Project). The Project includes two (2) scenarios:

Scenario 1 includes a stand-alone 2,970 square foot Tierra Mia café and Scenario 2 includes a 1,700 square foot Tierra Mia café with a 1,300 square foot complimentary cotenant. Both scenarios offer a landscaped outdoor patio, 30 parking spaces, and a drivethrough queue of approximately 11 cars.

An Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) is an agreement established between the City and a buyer whereby the parties agree to negotiate for a set period, and to refrain from negotiating with others, for the development of a particular site. Entering an ENA with Tierra Mia Coffee Company would allow the City to negotiate the terms and conditions of a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Property over the next 90 days with an optional extension of 90 additional days if agreed upon by the City and Tierra Mia Coffee Company. Once a DDA is executed by both parties, the ENA shall be null, and void and the City would be required to approve a resolution approving the sale of the CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING – APPROVE AN EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATION AGREEMENT WITH TIERRA MIA COFFEE COMPANY TO NEGOTIATE THE SALE AND PURCHASE 9003

BEVERLY BOULEVARD

Page 3 of 3 ends

Property to Tierra Mia Coffee Company prior to closing of escrow. The ENA does not assume project approval. Tierra Mia’s proposal will be reviewed and conditioned as required by the City’s zoning code.

Environmental Analysis:

It has been determined that the approval of the ENA does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Adoption of the resolution and approving the ENA does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the Property is sold to a purchaser, and that purchaser proposes a use for the Property that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution (Enclosure 1) to approve the draft ENA and instructing the City Manager, or designee, to execute the ENA and begin negotiating in good faith with Tierra Mia Coffee Company in accordance with the requirements of the ENA.

has been executed by the City and the Developer, the DDA shall supersede this Agreement and thereafter govern the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the development of the Project.

5. Deposit.

7. Environmental. Execution of a DDA by City shall be subject to compliance by the City with the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code § 2100 et seq. as amended: "CEQA"), and nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the City’s discretion to approve and/or disprove the Project or any iteration thereof.

Developer hereby agrees to provide all reasonable assistance to City necessary to carry out their obligations under CEQA but shall be under no obligation to incur any costs or expenses outside the scope of Developer’s proposed Project under this Agreement.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Manager
Meeting Date: February 27, 2024
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND

ADOPTING THE PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING

ALLOCATION PLAN FOR THE PLHA PROGRAM
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution authorizing and adopting the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) plan for the PLHA Program.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund from this action. Funding allocations are based on the approval of the PLHA plan for the PLHA program, however, if approved by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the City would be awarded grant funds totaling $1,397,273 for eligible housing and homelessness activities in fiscal year (FY) 2024-25. The associated revenues and expenditures will be included in the FY 2024-25 Budget.

Background:

Senate Bill 2, known as the Building Homes and Jobs Act, established the PLHA program. This program aims to provide funding to eligible local governments in California for projects and programs that help meet the housing needs of their communities. The program prioritizes investments that boost the housing supply for households with incomes at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), adjusted for household size.

On December 29, 2023, HCD released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the PLHA Program. The NOFA outlines ten (10) eligible activities for which PLHA funds can be used. Examples include developing live-work or rental housing, supporting ownership housing, creating Supportive Housing, and providing homeless services. To access funds, applicants must submit a five-year PLHA Plan detailing how allocated funds will be used for at least one of the eligible activities. 4 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING – A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND ADOPTING THE

PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PLAN FOR THE PLHA PROGRAM

Page 2 of 3 ends

The NOFA provides approximately $296 million in the remaining Calendar Year (CY) 2020 and 2021 funding allocations, along with new CY 2022 funds. Pico Rivera, as an entitlement local government, is allocated the following formula amounts for these years:

CY 2020 CY 2021 CY 2022 Total
$526,870 $579,804 $290,599 $1,397,273
The NOFA also mentions a potential maximum funding amount of $2,033,838 for the City based on a five-year estimate of PLHA formula allocations. Although actual amounts may be lower in subsequent years, the resolution includes this estimate to expedite future funding disbursements without the need for amendments.

While this NOFA remains open until June 30, 2027, applicants seeking CY 2020 funds must submit a complete application and meet PLHA Program guidelines, including Housing Element compliance and Annual Progress Report submission, by February 29, 2024. Unawarded CY 2020 funds after June 30, 2024, will no longer be available through the PLHA program.

Discussion:

In the City’s proposed five-year allocation plan, 50% of PLHA funding will be directed to eligible activity 2, focusing on predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable rental and ownership housing for a growing workforce earning up to 150% of the area median income. The State considers this percentage above-moderate income. This aligns with the Housing Element goals and contributes to the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation of 1,024 affordable housing units of which 430 are required for above moderate income for the 2021-2029 planning period.

The remaining 50% of PLHA funding will be allocated for eligible activity 6, supporting individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. This may include rapid rehousing, rental assistance, and supportive/case management services. The City may engage a homeless social service provider through an open bidding process, adhering to Housing Policy 3.3 in the City’s Housing Element to address the shelter needs of those experiencing homelessness such as reserving homeless beds for Pico Rivera homeless and/or providing focused mental assistance services.

Environmental Analysis:

The application has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (CEQA). City staff has determined that the approval of the PLHA plan and grant application does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING – A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND ADOPTING THE

PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING ALLOCATION PLAN FOR THE PLHA PROGRAM

Page 3 of 3 ends

exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Adoption of the resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing and adopting the PLHA plan for the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program. The City may be eligible to apply for and obtain additional funding in the coming years, provided that additional PLHA formula funds to local governments become available.

2023 PLHA Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local Government Formula Allocation NOFA Notice of Funding Availability
Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program
Local Government Formula Component
I. Overview and Timeline
The California Department of Housing and Community Development (Department or HCD) is announcing the release of the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Program’s Local Government Formula Component Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).

Funding for this NOFA is provided pursuant to Senate Bill 2 (SB 2) (Chapter 364, Statutes of 2017). SB 2 established the Fund and authorizes the Department to allocate 70 percent of moneys collected and deposited in the Fund, beginning in calendar year 2019, to Local governments for eligible housing and homelessness activities. The intent of the bill is to provide a permanent, ongoing source of funding to Local governments for housing-related projects and programs that assist in addressing the unmet housing needs of their local communities.

This NOFA represents the fourth CY allocation of moneys deposited in the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund (Fund) for the prior calendar year (CY) and includes any remaining unawarded funds not requested by eligible applicants for prior and available CYs.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this NOFA shall have the meanings set forth in PLHA Guidelines Section 101.

Applicants may apply at any time after the release of the NOFA, however, any applicant requesting CY 2020 funds (see appendices A and D), must meet all threshold requirements set forth in the PLHA Program Guidelines, Article III, Section 302, including Housing Element compliance and Annual Progress Report submittal requirements) and submit all required application materials no later than February 29, 2024.

Awards will be made on a rolling basis as they are received, reviewed, and determined to have meet all threshold requirements. If an application is submitted and determined to be incomplete (including Housing Element compliance and Annual Progress Report submittal), the applicant will be alerted to the deficiencies that need to be addressed and the application will be rejected. No award will be made until those deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of the Department.

Once addressed, the applicant will need to resubmit the entire application package for reconsideration.

Please note that per State statute, any CY 2020 funds unawarded by June 30, 2024 will revert to the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Fund established to be used for the Multifamily Housing Program.

All applicants should fully review the PLHA Program Guidelines for full requirements.

This 2023 NOFA represents the fourth year of funding under the PLHA program for the Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local Government Formula Component as detailed below:

Revenue
Collection Period

Allocation Deadline
CY 2019 2020 Reverted to MHP as of 6/30/2023
CY 2020 2021 Must apply for funds by February 29, 2024
CY 2021 2022 June 30, 2025*
CY 2022 2023 June 30, 2026*
*Please note, application deadlines for reverting funds may be established in future NOFA amendments A. Eligible Applicants
An Applicant must be an Entitlement Local government, a Non-Entitlement Local government, or a Local or Regional Housing Trust Fund delegated by the Local government pursuant to the PLHA Guidelines Article III, Section 300.

1. Delegation of Formula Allocation

Per PLHA Guidelines Section 300 (c) and (d), a Local government may delegate to another Local government or Local Housing or Regional Housing Trust Fund to submit an application and administer on its behalf its formula allocation of Program funds, provided that the parties enter into a legally binding agreement and the funds are expended for eligible Activities and consistent with Program requirements. The delegating entity shall be identified in the application. The administering entity shall be responsible for all Program requirements.

Upon delegating its entire formula allocation to another Local government or to a Local or Regional Housing Trust Fund, the Local government that delegated their allocation is no longer involved in the PLHA application or administration of the PLHA grant for the full term of the PLHA Plan, which extends through 2023. The delegated Local government or Trust Fund assumes full responsibility for compliance with statute and for meeting all the Department’s requirements, including any penalties for non-compliance.

Department of Housing and Community Development 7
2023 PLHA Entitlement and Non-Entitlement Local Government Formula Allocation NOFA A Local government can subgrant a portion of its allocation to another entity, as permitted by PLHA Guidelines Section 302(c)(3). When a Local government subgrants a portion of its allocation to another entity, the Local government remains fully accountable and responsible for compliance with statute and for meeting all of the Department’s requirements, including any penalties for noncompliance.

B. Eligible Activities

PLHA funds allocated to eligible Applicants must be used to carry out one or more of the eligible activities listed in the PLHA Guidelines, Article III, Section 301. All services must be provided within the county containing the Local government recipient.

Twenty percent of the moneys in the Fund are required by statute to be expended for Affordable Owner-Occupied Workforce Housing (AOWH). If funding proposed in Local government Plans for AOWH activities is lower than 20 percent of the moneys available in the Fund, the Department may require Local governments to use a specific percentage of their annual formula allocations in some future year for AOWH activities as part of the annual funding process.

C. Allocation of funding and limits
Appendix A lists the dollar amount of the available PLHA funds by CY allocation.

If a Local Government applied for and received a CY allocation, there is a blank in the applicable column(s).

In order to avoid amending the Department Standard Agreement each year and to expedite the disbursement of PLHA funds, the Department Standard Agreement and the Applicant’s required resolution shall include a five-year estimate of PLHA formula allocations, as stated in Appendix B, as the maximum funding amount. The actual amounts may be lower, and the disbursements will be based on the actual allocation amounts.

D. Program Administrative, Activity Delivery Costs, and Reimbursement of Costs Predevelopment expenses for construction projects funded by PLHA funds and costs to develop and prepare the PLHA application and Plan may be paid from the PLHA funds regardless of when the costs were incurred. Reimbursement of expenses to prepare the PLHA application and Plan are subject to the cap on administrative costs as detailed in the PLHA Program Guidelines. Other costs incurred more than one year prior to commitment by the Local government may not be paid from the PLHA funds.

Additional information on verifying compliance with this requirement is outlined in Appendix C.

If an applicant is applying on behalf of multiple jurisdictions or delegating or sub granting to another jurisdiction, the funds may only be awarded for use in a locality with an adopted housing element that has been found by the Department to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, pursuant to Government Code section 65585 at the time of award. If the Applicant is not compliant by time of application that will not prevent an award from being made for use in the localities that are determined to be compliant.

2. Annual Progress Report: The Applicant must have submitted to the Department the Annual Progress Report (APR) on the housing element for the corresponding calendar year based on the allocations for which the Applicant is applying by the application submittal date as follows:

Allocation Requested: APR Reporting Period:

If any activity in the five-year PLHA Plan consists of loans being made to a homebuyer, homeowner, developer or owner of a project, a Program income reuse plan describing how repaid PLHA loans will be used for eligible activities specified in Section 301 must be included in the application. This reuse plan must also describe how interest earned from PLHA funds deposited in a Local government interest-bearing account will be used for eligible PLHA activities.

G. Threshold requirements for Previous Grantees
Applicants which have previously received an award of PLHA funds must meet all threshold requirements as outlined in the PLHA Program Guidelines Section 302.

Specifically, prior grantees requesting a new allocation of funds must demonstrate the following:

1. The housing element compliance status of the Applicant and delegates or subgrantees, if applicable, must have adopted housing element that has been found by the Department to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, pursuant to Government Code section 65585 at the time of application.

2. The Applicant must have submitted to the Department the Annual Progress Report (APR) consistent the CY allocation being requested as detailed below at the time of application:

Allocation Requested: APR Reporting Period:
2020 allocation CY 2020 APR
2021 allocation CY 2021 APR
2022 allocation CY 2022 APR

If an Applicant is requesting CY 2020 funds, all threshold requirements, including Housing Element compliance and APR submittal requirements, must be met by no later than February 29, 2024. After February 29, 2024, any remaining unrequested CY 2020 funds will revert to the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Fund per statute.

Those Applicants that are notified they did not pass threshold requirements will have the opportunity to submit the necessary documentation to demonstrate threshold eligibility and resubmit their application. Applicants applying for CY 2020 funds should apply as early as possible to provide time for threshold requirements to be met.

In subsequent funding years, the PLHA Plan continues in force and effect unless the Local government amends their Plan to provide additional eligible activities under PLHA statute and Guidelines.

Please note, however, If the Local Government is proposing that more than 10 percent of the anticipated funds be allocated to a different activity, the Plan must be formally amended, including discussion and approval at a publicly noticed meeting of the Local government’s governing board, and be submitted to the Department for approval.

H. Administration and Reporting Requirements
All recipients of PLHA funds must meet the administration and reporting requirements set forth in PLHA Program Guidelines, Article III, Sections 500, 501, and 503.

It is the Applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the application is clear, complete, and accurate.

The Department may request additional clarifying information and/or inquire as to where in the application specific information is located. However, missing or forgotten application information or documentation may cause the application not to pass threshold.

Appendix C
Housing Element and Annual Progress Report (APR) Compliance Status Housing element and Annual Progress Report (APR) compliance is a threshold requirement for PLHA.

The housing element and APR compliance status of the Applicant and delegates or subgrantees, if applicable, must be established prior to submittal of the application.

If an applicant is applying on behalf of multiple jurisdictions or delegating or subgranting to another entity, the funds may only be awarded for use in a locality that is compliant with its APR requirements and which has an adopted housing element that has been found by the Department to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, pursuant to Government Code section 65585 at the time of award. If the Applicant is not compliant by time of application that will not prevent an award from being made for use in the localities that have been compliant.

Please note, if PLHA awards are made within 120 days of the housing element due date, the Department may refer to the jurisdiction’s compliance from the prior cycle.

To verify current housing element and APR compliance status, please consult the following resources:

Housing Element Compliance: Housing Element Review and Compliance Report | California Department of Housing and Community Development

Annual Progress Report Submittal: Annual Progress Reports - Data Dashboard and Downloads | California Department of Housing and Community Development

Please note that PLHA is an over-the-counter (OTC) program, allowing Applicants to apply at any point during the OTC application window. If a jurisdiction is currently out of compliance, that jurisdiction, may still apply and once it reaches compliance with the housing element and APR requirements, it will be eligible to apply for PLHA funds.

However, if a Local Government is requesting CY 2020 funds, they must apply no later than February 29, 2024, and demonstrate they have met all threshold requirements, including Housing Element compliance and APR submittal requirements by no later than at the time of application submittal to avoid reversion.

For questions about Housing Element Compliance, please email [email protected].

For inquiries on status of APR submittal, please email [email protected].

Appendix E
Urban County Jurisdictions
The jurisdictions listed below are not eligible to receive a direct allocation of PLHA funds though they can still benefit from the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program funds based upon an application through their designated Urban County.

An Urban County may apply on the behalf of the Local Governments listed below and the Urban County’s allocation can provide funding for eligible activities within the boundaries of these Local Governments, as well as the unincorporated area of the designated Urban County.

If an Urban County is applying on behalf of multiple jurisdictions, the funds may only be awarded for use in localities that are compliant with their APR and housing element requirements as detailed in Appendix C. A locality is compliant with its housing element requirements when it has an adopted housing element that has been found by the Department to be in substantial compliance with the requirements of Article 10.6 (commencing with section 65580) of Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code, pursuant to Government Code section 65585 at the time of award. If the Urban County is not compliant by time of award that will not prevent an award from being made for use in the localities that are compliant.

CITY OF PICO RIVERA CITY COUNCIL
NOTICE OF 10-DAY PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING PERMANENT LOCAL

HOUSING ALLOCATION (PLHA) GRANT APPLICATION AND PLAN FOR FUNDING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, pursuant to a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) dated December 29, 2023, a public hearing will be held before the City of Pico Rivera City Council as follows:

WHEN: February 27, 2024
TIME: 6:00 P.M.

WHERE: City Hall Council Chambers
6615 Passons Boulevard
Pico Rivera, CA 90660
At the above-described public meeting, the City of Pico Rivera (“City”) will consider taking action to approve the Permanent Local Housing Allocation (“PLHA”) grant application and 5-year plan pursuant to a Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) issued by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) on December 29, 2023. Senate Bill 2 (SB 2), known as the Building Homes and Jobs Act, established the PLHA program with the principal goal to make funding available to eligible local governments for housing related projects and programs to assist in addressing the unmet needs of the local community, with prioritization of serving households at or below 60% of the area median income. As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City is eligible to receive up to $2,033,838 over 5 years. The 5-year funding amount is an estimate and may fluctuate based upon revenue generated by real estate transactions. To receive the funds, the City must submit a 5-year PLHA Plan describing how the funds will be used.

The City is proposing to allocate 50% of the PLHA funding under the eligible category of, “The predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of Affordable rental and ownership housing, including Accessory dwelling units (ADUs), that meets the needs of a growing workforce earning up to 120 percent of AMI, or 150 percent of AMI in high-cost areas. ADUs shall be available for occupancy for a term of no less than 30 days.” The remaining PLHA funding (50%) will be allocated for the eligible category of, “Assisting persons who are experiencing or at-risk of homelessness, including, but not limited to, providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, supportive/case management services that allow people to obtain and retain housing, operating and capital costs for navigation centers and emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing.” PERSONS INTERESTED IN THIS MATTER wishing to observe the meeting may do so in the following ways:

Dated: February 16, 2024
To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Manager
Meeting Date: February 27, 2024
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 62 – ADOPTION OF STATE REQUIRED UPDATES TO THE
2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution ratifying General Plan Amendment No. 62.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund associated with the General Plan Amendment.

Background:

Per the California Government Code Section 65580-65589.11, cities and counties are required to update the Housing Element every eight (8) years. The Housing Element is one of the state-mandated elements (including Circulation, Open Space, Land Use, Conservation, Safety, Environmental Justice, and Noise) of the General Plan, and is regarded as the City’s constitution regarding future physical development. Unlike other elements of the General Plan, the Housing Element is subject to mandatory review by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Each Housing Element is required to include the following components:
• An analysis of existing and projected housing needs
• An analysis of potential constraints on housing
• An analysis of assisted housing developments that are “at-risk”; and eligible to change from low-income housing uses
• An inventory of sites suitable for housing development • An analysis of the plan’s conformance with Affirmatively Further Fair Housing (AFFH) requirements
• An analysis of any special needs

• An analysis of opportunities for residential energy conservation • An evaluation of the previous Housing Element
• Goals, objectives, policies, and implementation programs Housing Element Adoption
On September 27, 2022, the City of Pico Rivera (City) adopted General Plan Amendment No. 61 through Resolution No. 7227. General Plan Amendment No. 61 adopted the City’s Sixth Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element. HCD is requiring the City to make amendments to the existing 2021-2029 Housing Element in order to find the City in compliance with state law.

Discussion:

Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
The Housing Element is required to demonstrate the City’s capacity to plan for its share of housing growth. The City’s share of housing is determined by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) via the Regional Housing Needs Assessments (RHNA). The RHNA is the number of units that a city is required to plan for (not develop) by identifying sites throughout the City. It is important to note the Housing Element is a policy document and no development is proposed as part of the adoption of the Housing Element. For the 2021-2029 Housing Element planning period, SCAG assigned the City 1,024 units.

The table below demonstrates the City’s RHNA allocation divided into various income levels based on a percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI).

Housing Needs for 2021-2029
Income Category (% of County
AMI) Number of Units Percent
Very Low (31 to 50%) 299 29.1%
Low (51 to 80%) 146 14.3%
Moderate (81% to 120%) 149 14.6%
Above Moderate (Over 120%) 430 42.0%
Total 1,024 100.0%
Cities are not required to build the RHNA units but rather identify sites within the City that have the potential to accommodate the units. The City identified 69 parcels with varying zones with the potential to accommodate the RHNA. To meet the RHNA, staff created an R-40 Overlay Zone which allows up to 40 units an acre. The R-40 Overlay Zone does not change the existing underlying zone. Property owners still have the capacity to exercise the development standards in their existing zone. The R-40 Overlay Zone provides property owners and developers an additional option should they wish to develop affordable housing units. To incentivize development, the state requires that a CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2024 PUBLIC HEARING – GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 62 – ADOPTION OF STATE REQUIRED UPDATES TO THE 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT

streamlined process occur for affordable housing units that were identified in the previous Housing Element Cycle. As such, a Conditional Use Permit will not be required for developers wishing to develop affordable housing units within the 69 sites. Staff has prepared objective design standards which developers would have to meet to utilize the streamlined process.

Housing Policy Programs
The Housing Element identifies 30 programs that the City will undertake during the eight (8) year cycle aimed at providing additional housing opportunities, removing governmental constraints to affordable housing, improving the condition of existing housing and provide equal housing opportunities to all residents. Some of these programs are existing programs that will be continued. Below is a summary of the programs identified.

Existing Programs:
1) Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program: The City will continue to provide housing rehabilitation services through the Community Development Block Grant Program. The City is also looking into bringing back the loan program through HOME Program Income funds.
2) Monitor and Preserve Affordable Housing: The City must monitor affordable housing units and assist in preserving their affordability. 3) Replacement Housing: The City must monitor affordable housing units and ensure that they are not lost and replaced.
4) Developer Consultation: City staff will continue to meet with developers prior to entitlement submittal to assist in streamlining the process. 5) Partnerships for Affordable Housing Programs: The City will cooperate with other agencies and organizations to offer low-income housing homeownership assistance.
6) Section 8 Rental Assistance: The City will continue to provide low-income vouchers through the U.S. Department of Housing Urban Development. 7) Federal and State Funding Programs: The City will work with developers to find affordable housing grants to fund affordable housing.
8) Create an ADU Monitoring Program: The City will create an ADU monitoring program to track the creation and affordability levels. 9) Density Bonus: The City shall offer developers a density bonus to meet state law.

The Density Bonus law allows developers an additional density above the existing density permitted. Developers must meet the affordability requirement ratio to obtain a specific level of density above that which is existing.

Page 4 of 7 ends

New Programs:
10)Development of Housing for Extremely Low, Very Low and Low-Income Households: For 100% affordable housing units, the City shall not charge application fees.
11)Emergency, Transitional and Supportive Housing and Lower Barrier Navigation Centers: The City will be required to allow Lower Barrier Navigation Centers without any application requirements. Lower Barrier Navigation Centers are “service-enriched centers focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter and housing.”
12) Rezoning of sites to accommodate the City’s 2021-2029 RHNA need: The City must adopt the 40 units per acre density and zoning amendment and apply to the RHNA sites identified.
13) Promotion of Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling (JADUs) Unit Development: The City must implement programs with the intent of promoting the development of ADUs and JADUs.
14) Senate Bill 35 Streamlining: The City must process development projects with at least 50 percent affordable housing units through a streamlined permit process.

The City cannot require a conditional use permit or other entitlement. 15) Parking Standards for Residential Developments: The City will review the existing parking standards for multi-family and affordable housing units to facilitate development.

Community Engagement
The City must make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the Housing Element. As such, the City conducted several community outreach activities as follows:
• November 16, 2020 - Planning Commission Study Session: This meeting introduced the Commission and public to the Housing Element process and the state requirements.
• December 3, 2020 - Virtual Community Workshop #1: Workshop was hosted in Spanish and English. This meeting educated the public on the Housing Element as part of the General Plan, the RHNA process and the need for affordable housing.
• February 9, 2021 - City Council Study Session: This meeting provided the City Council and the public an understanding of the draft Housing Element, the potential sites selected for the RHNA process and timelines.
• June 17, 2021 - Virtual Community Meeting #2: Workshop was hosted in Spanish and English. This meeting provided the public with information on the draft document, potential RHNA sites selected and timelines. The public was informed that the Housing Element was made available on the City’s website for review and comment.

HCD also required the City to make certain changes to the Housing Element pursuant to findings received on April 10, 2023. The following changes were made:
• Revise Program 3B to adjust development standards for emergency shelters to require parking only for necessary employees of the emergency shelter. • Revise Program 5I to change maximum height in R-M zone from 28 feet to 36 feet. • Revise Program 6E that states the City will no longer require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for multifamily projects that are larger than 20,000 square feet if they comply with the City’s objective design standards. Projects would still be required to undergo a design review process to ensure they comply with objective design standards.
• Revise Program 2C to add specific actions for the Section 8 Rental Assistance program including:
o Provide up to date information on the City’s webpage and review bi-annually for consistency with available funding/programs/assistance. o Continued coordination with the County to administer Section 8 vouchers. o Host a minimum of one workshop or office hours scheduled to discuss section 8 opportunities and application processes.
• Add detailed analyses in the AFFH and Appendix B to provide comparative analysis of fair housing issues in different areas of the City and demonstrate the suitability of non-vacant sites for redevelopment into housing.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Pico Rivera that:

SECTION 1. The City Council finds that the above recitals are true and correct.

RESOLUTION NO. ____
PAGE 3 OF 6
SECTION 2. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(b), unless any of the changes to a project or its circumstances, or new information becomes available that triggers a subsequent Environmental Impact Report or Mitigated Negative Declaration under subsection 15162(a), the City shall determine whether to prepare a subsequent negative declaration, an addendum, or no further documentation. The proposed Zoning Code amendment will not result in any potentially significant impacts that were not already analyzed under the previous MND or addendum thereto. The actions taken under this Resolution are also exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that there is no possibility that the actions will have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed amendments fall within the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. In that the proposed amendments provide reflect recent changes in state law and HCD findings. The amendments will not have a significant effect on the environment; and, therefore the activity is not subject to CEQA.

SECTION 3. Based upon all testimony and comments from the general public, Planning Commission Resolution No. 1312 and associated report, and the staff report contained herein, and all other pertinent and relevant fact pertaining hereto, the City Council finds that approval of the General Plan amendment is necessary to carry out the general purpose and provision of the General Plan for the following reasons, findings of fact, and determinations:
a) The sixth cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element has been prepared in the interest of the existing and future residents for and orderly and functional City.
b) The Housing Element incorporated comments received by the public and stakeholders.
c) The Housing Element and proposed land use updates are consistent with City goals and policies to reflect recent trends and needs of the community. d) The Housing Element and associated land use amendments are in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) as set forth in the Mitigated Negative Declaration Mitigation Monitoring Program, and will not result in any new significant environmental effects, nor has there been any substantial change in circumstances or new information of substantial importance to trigger a subsequent Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) or Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
e) The General Plan update will not be detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the Pico Rivera community.
f) Based on a variety of factors analyzed within the Housing Element on a site specific basis including existing uses, recent development trends on RESOLUTION NO. ____
PAGE 4 OF 6
nonvacant parcels, property owner interest, structure age, property valuation, and development capacity, the existing uses on the sites identified in the site inventory to accommodate the lower-income RHNA are likely to be discontinued during the planning period, and therefore do not constitute an impediment to additional residential development during the period covered by the Housing Element.
g) In addition to a site-specific evaluation of existing uses, analysis of five recent residential projects within Pico Rivera on sites which previously contained non-residential uses displayed site characteristics which were used to evaluate each candidate site within the proposed site inventory.

This analysis demonstrated the likelihood that existing nonresidential uses would not present an impediment to the development of future residential uses.
h) Lastly, the candidate sites identified within the Housing Element were all determined to be physically able to accommodate housing in place of or in addition to existing uses. Therefore, all sites identified have been evaluated for their ability to feasibly accommodate housing units based on site features, existing development, and other site constraints.

SECTION 4. Pursuant to Article II of Chapter 18.62, General Plan Amendments of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code, the City Council of the City of Pico Rivera approves General Plan Amendment No. 62 updating contents of the General Plan, in substantially the form attached hereto, to be incorporated as part of the General Plan.

SECTION 5. The City Council authorizes the City Manager and/or the Community and Economic Development Director to make any amendments to the Sixth Cycle Housing Element consistent with those prescribed by the State Department of Housing and Community Development and consistent with this Resolution. The City Council further authorizes the City Manager and/or the Community and Economic Development Director to execute such ancillary documents that are reasonably necessary to effectuate the intent of this Resolution.

SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this resolution and hereafter the same shall be in full effect.

From: City Manager
Meeting Date: February 27, 2024
Subject: APPROVE A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE CITY OF

PICO RIVERA AS A PURPLE HEART CITY
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution designating the City of Pico Rivera as a Purple Heart City; and

2. Authorize the City Manager or designee to explore possible landmarks recognizing the City as a Purple Heart City.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund at this time.

Discussion:

The Purple Heart is a historical military emblem that holds the distinction of being the oldest in present use and was originally established by General George Washington in 1782 as the Badge of Military Merit. The award was made of cloth, colored purple, shaped like a heart, and had the word "MERIT" printed on it. This service award was the first of its kind to be made available to all members of the United States Armed Forces. It is a heartfelt tribute to those who have been wounded/injured or lost their lives while in the line of duty with a declared enemy of the United States of America.

In 1932, the award was reestablished by General Douglas MacArthur, who transformed it into a medal while maintaining the original criteria established by General Washington.

During this time, the Military Order of the Purple Heart — a veterans organization chartered by Congress for combat wounded veterans who have been awarded the Purple Heart medal, was also formed. The purpose of this group is to foster an environment of goodwill among combat-wounded veteran members and their families, promote patriotism and support legislative initiatives. Their most important objective today is to make sure that we never forget the sacrifices of all who served. 8 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 2024

APPROVE A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE CITY OF PICO RIVERA AS A PURPLE

HEART CITY

Page 2 of 2 ends

On April 12, 2012, the state of California became the first state to designate itself as a “Purple Heart State.” Today, there are currently 106 cities, in 12 counties across California that have designated themselves to be Purple Heart cities. The state officials aimed to honor the brave Californian veterans who made great sacrifices, particularly those who were wounded or lost their lives while serving their country.

While there are already a number of established Purple Heart cities in California, the City of Pico Rivera will be the first among the Gateway Cities, with the nearest city being approximately 20 miles away. The City of Pico Rivera takes immense pride in the number of military veterans that call it home. Recognizing and honoring the residents who have served their country, designating the City as a Purple Heart City would be a meaningful gesture.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution (Enclosure 1) designating the City of Pico Rivera as a Purple Heart City and authorize the City Manager or designee to explore possible landmarks recognizing the City as a Purple Heart City.
