Page 2 of 4 ends

Discussion:

The applicant requests approval of Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 84271 to subdivide the subject property (APN 6378-017-004) for condominium purposes. It is currently one parcel and will be subdivided by way of a condominium map that shows the layout, location, boundaries, dimensions, and numbers of condominium units and common areas. Whenever a provision of Title 17 (Subdivisions) requires that a tentative map be filed, a vesting tentative map may instead be filed. The vesting tentative map shall be filed and processed in the same manner as a tentative.

The project includes the demolition and removal of the Knights Inn Hotel and associated parking lot currently on the subject property. The development will consist of a gated community of 95 townhouse units within 15, three-story structures, guest parking and common open space. The 4.04-acre project with 95 units results in a project density of

23.5 dwelling units per acre.

Vehicular access will be taken from Rosemead Boulevard frontage road via a two-way driveway of 48 feet in length. Pedestrian access will be taken from a gated entrance adjacent to the driveway.

Pico Rivera Municipal Code Chapter 18.44.040 requires two (2) spaces within a garage for each dwelling unit and one (1) open guest parking space for each eight (8) dwelling units or fraction thereof. The proposed townhouse development requires 190 spaces within a garage (2 spaces X 95 units = 190 spaces). The proposed development requires 12 guest parking spaces (95 units /8 = 12 spaces). The applicant proposes 190 spaces within a two-car garage per unit and 24 guest parking spaces: 22 regular and 2 ADA compliant parking spaces.

Surrounding Properties
The subject property is in the General Commercial (C-G) zone and is designated Mixed Use (M-U) under the Land Use Element of the General Plan. The subject property is located north of Washington Boulevard, South of Balfour Street, West of Bequette Avenue and East of Rosemead Boulevard. Land uses surrounding the proposed project are commercial and residential.

SECTION 3. Pursuant to Pico Rivera Municipal Code Section 17.16.040, and based upon all testimony and comments from the general public, the examination and review of the investigations by staff included in the staff report contained herein, the report of the Division of Land Committee, the report and recommendation of the Planning Commission, and all other pertinent and relevant fact pertaining hereto, the City Council finds as follows:
1) That the proposed map is consistent with the applicable goals and objectives set forth in the Pico Rivera General Plan. The General Plan identifies the proposed project site as a Housing Element Opportunity Site. Specifically, the project will support Goal 3.7 of the General Plan, which states: “Protect and enhance existing residential neighborhoods, assuring that they are safe, attractive, provide quality housing choices and are designed and maintained to enhance livability.” The project site is in close proximity to a mix of residential and commercial uses, thus creating the demand for this project and is conveniently located for residents in the area. Due to the proposed development’s consistency with several General Plan policies, the City’s desire to facilitate a diverse supply of new residential construction to accommodate the City’s anticipated growth, the City finds the proposal is consistent with the policies and guidance provided within the General Plan. The proposal is consistent with the direction provided within the General Plan.
2) That the subdivision is in compliance with the development standards and regulations contained in Titles 17 and 18 (Subdivision & Zoning respectively) of the Pico Rivera Municipal Code (PRMC) relevant to the development of multi-family housing on General Commercial (C-G) zoned properties.
3) That the subject property is suitable for development of this type as the site contains approximately 4.04 acres of land area and provides access to publicly dedicated streets.
4) That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development. The residential development will not exceed the maximum density allowed in the Mixed Use (M-U) General Plan land use designation, which allows for up to 30 dwelling units per acre. The proposed development is for 95 airspace condominiums, which has the density of approximately 23.5 dwelling units per acre. 5) That the subdivision will not result in conditions or circumstances contrary to the public health, safety, or welfare.
6) That pursuant to the provisions of the State of California Public Resources Code and State Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project qualifies for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption (In-Fill Development Projects) in accordance with the requirements of Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines, a Notice of Exemption (Class 32-Infill) was prepared concerning the 95-airspace condominium.

7) That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. The proposed subdivision has been reviewed under the guidelines of the CEQA and City guidelines which determined that the project would result in no adverse impacts or cause serious public health problems. 8) That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of the property within the proposed subdivision. The subdivision includes the appropriate dedication of easements and access agreements to ensure that the subdivision and public at large have access throughout the property for emergency purposes. 9) That the proposed project will not be detrimental to adjoining properties as the project site is located at the eastern side of Rosemead Boulevard. Ingress and egress to the project site will be provided off Rosemead Boulevard Frontage Road. The proposed development is conditioned to provide adequate landscaping in compliance with State Law, consisting of trees, shrubs, and groundcover throughout the project site and a 6’-0” high block wall along the perimeters of the project site. In addition shrubs along the eastern perimeter wall, creating a visual buffer to protect adjacent existing residences located to the east and south. Development of the project site for high density residential purposes, in the form of multiple-family airspace condominiums, is considered compatible with the surrounding area. In addition, each single-family home will have a 2-car garage, 24 on-site guest parking spaces. These improvements will enhance the appearance and functionality of the site while protecting adjacent properties.
10)That the traffic generating capacity and operation of the proposed multiple-family condominiums will not place a burden or demand upon other municipal improvements, services, or utilities as each multiple-family home will have direct access through Rosemead Boulevard Frontage Road. In addition, two-car garages for each unit will be provided along with twenty-four guest parking spaces. 11)That adequate consideration for the protection of the environment has been satisfactorily demonstrated as no significant impact is anticipated with the inclusion of best management practices (BMP’s) and with the inclusion of conditions of approval that require the development to comply with the most current California Building Code, submit a grading and drainage plan, and implement of dust and noise control measures.
12)That adequate consideration has been given to assure the conservation and stabilization of property values, the direction of development and land use planning of the area in which the use is proposed to be located and the peculiar suitability of such zone as the proposed development is maintained and consistent with the community’s overall planning goals and programs through the conditions of approval.

SECTION 4. The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section RESOLUTION NO. ____

Pico Rivera, CA 90660
Dear Ms. Gonzalez:

Comment Letter for Conditional Use Permit No. 758 and Vesting Tentative Tract Map No. 84271 The Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (Districts) received the email and plans for the subject project, located in the City of Pico Rivera, forwarded by your office on December 18, 2023. The proposed project is located within the jurisdictional boundary of District No. 2. We offer the following comments regarding sewerage service:

1. The wastewater flow originating from the proposed project will discharge to a local sewer line, which is not maintained by the Districts, for conveyance to the Districts’ Downey-Bellflower Trunk Sewer, located in Passons Boulevard at Washington Boulevard. The Districts’ 18-inch diameter trunk sewer has a capacity of 2.1 million gallons per day (mgd) and conveyed a peak flow of 1.6 mgd when last measured in 2016.

2. The wastewater generated by the proposed project will be treated at the A.K. Warren Water Resource Facility located in the City of Carson, which has a capacity of 400 mgd and currently processes an average flow of 237 mgd, or the Los Coyotes Water Reclamation Plant located in the City of Cerritos, which has a capacity of 37.5 mgd and currently processes an average flow of 19.9 mgd.

3. The expected increase in average wastewater flow from the project, described in the plan as 95 attached townhomes and a 1,260 square-foot recreation building, is 6,183 gallons per day, after all structures on the project site are demolished. For a copy of the Districts’ average wastewater generation factors, go to www.lacsd.org, under Services, then Wastewater Program and Permits and select Will Serve Program, and click on the Table 1, Loadings for Each Class of Land Use link.

4. The Districts are empowered by the California Health and Safety Code to charge a fee to connect facilities (directly or indirectly) to the Districts’ Sewerage System or to increase the strength or quantity of wastewater discharged from connected facilities. This connection fee is used by the Districts for its capital facilities. Payment of a connection fee may be required before this project is permitted to discharge to the Districts’ Sewerage System. For more information and a copy of the Connection Fee Information Sheet, go to www.lacsd.org, under Services, then Wastewater (Sewage) and select Rates & Fees. In determining the impact to the Sewerage System and applicable connection fees, the Districts will determine the user category (e.g. Condominium, Single Family Home, etc.) that best represents the actual or anticipated use of the parcel(s) or facilities on the parcel(s) in the development. For more specific information regarding the Attachment D
Ms. Aneli Gonzalez 2 December 21, 2023
DOC 7107728.D02 A Century of Service
connection fee application procedure and fees, please contact the Districts’ Wastewater Fee Public Counter at (562) 908-4288, extension 2727.

5. In order for the Districts to conform to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), the capacities of the Districts’ wastewater treatment facilities are based on the regional growth forecast adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Specific policies included in the development of the SCAG regional growth forecast are incorporated into clean air plans, which are prepared by the South Coast and Antelope Valley Air Quality Management Districts in order to improve air quality in the South Coast and Mojave Desert Air Basins as mandated by the CAA. All expansions of Districts’ facilities must be sized and service phased in a manner that will be consistent with the SCAG regional growth forecast for the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Imperial. The available capacity of the Districts’ treatment facilities will, therefore, be limited to levels associated with the approved growth identified by SCAG. As such, this letter does not constitute a guarantee of wastewater service, but is to advise the applicant that the Districts intend to provide this service up to the levels that are legally permitted and to inform the applicant of the currently existing capacity and any proposed expansion of the Districts’ facilities.

If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned at (562) 908-4288, extension 2708 or at [email protected].

16 CEQA Guidelines California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Article 19. Categorical Exemptions. (Section 153332).

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
To be categorically exempt, the proposed project must be consistent with the applicable City of Pico Rivera land use designations (General Plan and Zoning).

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The project site is located on a developed property that is currently designated as General Commercial (G-C) with a Mixed-Use (M-U) Overlay which permits Multiple Family Residential developments under the City of Pico Rivera Zoning Ordinance. The site is currently occupied by a two level motel (the Knights Inn Hotel) that consists of 100 guest rooms and other amenities. The project site’s elevation is approximately 165 feet above mean sea level (amsl) with a slight gradient towards the east. The surrounding land uses include the following:17
● North of the Site: A two level office building is located to the north of the site (6500 Rosemead Boulevard). This existing building is occupied by the United Auto Workers (UAW) Region 6. This area is zoned General Commercial (C-G).
18 ● South of the Site: A water well (Well No. 11) operated by Pico Water District, is located to the south of the site. A liquor store (6616 Rosemead Boulevard) is located on the northwest corner of Rosemead Boulevard and Carron Drive. Single-family homes are located further east, on the north site of Carron Drive. These homes have frontage along the north side of Carron Drive. This area is zoned as SingleFamily Residential (S-F) and General Commercial (C-G) ● West of the Site: The Rosemead Boulevard right-of-way (ROW) extends along the project site’s west side. Various office uses are located further west, along the west side of Rosemead Boulevard. This area is zoned as Profession Administrative (P-A).
19 ● East of the Site: Single-family homes are located to the east of the site. These homes have frontage on Bequette Avenue. This area is zoned as Single-Family Residential (S-F).20 The project and its proposed residential use are consistent with the existing surrounding land uses. Pico Rivera’s share of the applicable Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for the 6th Cycle (2021-2029) planning period is as follows:
● Extremely Low Income Households 150 Units
● Very Low Income Households 299 units
● Low Income Households 146 units
● Moderate Income Households 149 units

● Above Moderate Income Households 430 units
The proposed 95 townhome units would enable the City to accommodate its current RHNA need for the above moderate housing units. The project is consistent with this finding and the impacts would be less than significant.

FINDING 5.2 - PROJECT SITE SIZE (CEQA SECTION 15332 (B)

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
To be categorically exempt, the proposed project must be located within the City limits on a project site of no more than five acres. The site’s land area is 4.04-acres.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed project site is located within the corporate boundaries of the City of Pico Rivera on a project site consisting of less than five acres. The site’s land area is 4.04-acres (175,982 square feet). As indicated herein in Section 5.1, the site is surrounded by urban development. Therefore, less than significant project impacts would result.

FINDING 5.3 - HABITAT VALUE (CEQA SECTION 15332 (C)

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
To be categorically exempt, the proposed project must be located on a site that has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed project site in its entirety is fully developed with no areas of native and natural habitat. The site is covered-over in both impervious surfaces that includes the existing motel buildings and surface pavement and landscaped areas. The project site’s isolation from other natural open space areas limits its utility as a habitat or an animal migration corridor. The project site and the surrounding areas are not conducive for the survival of any special status species due to the lack of suitable riparian and/or natural habitat. Constant disturbance from traffic and other human activity further limits the site’s utility as a sensitive habitat or migration corridor.21 Since the site is located within an established urban area that extends along the Rosemead Boulevard corridor and lacks suitable habitat, the site’s utility as a natural habitat and migration corridor is restricted. No natural habitat is present in the area. Therefore, less than significant project impacts would result.

5.4.1 TRAFFIC

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
To be categorically exempt, the proposed project must not result in any significant effects relating to traffic.

A significant traffic impact will be first determined by the number of vehicle trips that will be generated by the proposed project and the attendant vehicle miles travelled (VMT) impacts.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Traffic Generation
The proposed project will be replacing the currently operational Knights Inn Pico Rivera. Since the Knights Inn is currently operational, trip credits were taken to account for the trips from the existing land use. As such, trip generation for this existing motel was developed using driveway survey counts at the existing project driveway for typical weekdays. The surveys were conducted on August 23rd, 24th, 29th and 30th, 2023. As a conservative estimate, the lowest of the driveway survey counts were subtracted from the estimated trip generation of the proposed townhomes to develop the net new project trip generation (refer to Table 5). The trip generation for the proposed project has been developed using the rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition) for Land Use 220 – “Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise) Not Close to Rail Transit", Setting/Location – “General Urban/Suburban”. Trip generation for the Knights Inn was subtracted from the proposed project trip generation to determine the net new trips for the project. The net new project trip generation is summarized in Table 5.

As shown in Table 5, the project is anticipated to generate 179 net new daily trips, with 26 net new trips occurring during the AM peak hour and 23 net new trips occurring during the PM peak hour. An estimated 40 average trips per hour would occur between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM, excluding the AM and PM peak hours.

Project Driveway Sight Distance
A sight distance analysis was conducted at the project driveway along Rosemead Boulevard Frontage Road.

Sight distance is the length of the visible roadway a driver can see approaching vehicles before their line of

CITY OF PICO RIVERA CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ROSEMEAD TOWNHOMES ● 6540 ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD ● PICO RIVERA, CALIFORNIA CLASS 32 INFILL DEVELOPMENT EXEMPTION PAGE 27
sight is blocked by any object. For purposes of this analysis, only the stopping sight distance and corner sight distance have been evaluated. That is because those are the only two sight distance issues that would affect safe maneuver of ingress/egress traffic from the project driveway. The stopping sight distance was evaluated on the roadway abutting the project (i.e., Rosemead Boulevard Frontage Road). A 25-mph speed limit was considered for local streets with no posted speed limits. Therefore, for the purpose of this analysis, a 25 mph speed limit has been considered as the design speed for Rosemead Boulevard Frontage Road. As stated in Table 201.1 of the HDM, the minimum stopping sight distance is 150 feet for a design speed of 25 mph.

Therefore, the minimum stopping sight distance has been considered as 150 feet for the Project Driveway along Rosemead Boulevard Frontage Road. Based on the requirements established in the HDM, it was determined that a minimum corner sight distance of 280 feet would be required for left-turn maneuvers and a minimum corner sight distance of 240 feet would be required for right-turn maneuvers. Since the corner sight distance required at the project driveway would be greater than the stopping sight distance, sight triangle figures were created using corner sight distance. As a conservative measure, left-turn corner sight distance were used for both right- and left-turn sight triangles for the project driveway. As a result, project driveway will provide adequate sight distance for left- and right-turn maneuvers onto Rosemead Boulevard Frontage Road.

Project Driveway and Intersection Spacing
The project driveway would be approximately 325 feet south of the intersection of Rosemead Boulevard Frontage Road/Coffman and Pico Road, respectively, and 410 feet north of the intersection of Rosemead Boulevard Frontage Road – Carron Road. As such, the driveway would not be within close proximity of any existing and future intersections, and there would be sufficient spacing between all existing and future intersections, including the project driveway intersection.

Project Parking
A total of 202 parking spaces is required for the project per City Code. Based on the current site plan, the project not only satisfies the City’s parking requirements but also offers an additional surplus of 12 accessible parking spaces in the project site. As such, the project provides adequate parking per the City’s parking requirements.

Vehicle Miles Travelled
The City has adopted thresholds of significance for determining impacts related to vehicle miles traveled (VMT) consistent with the California Office of Planning and Research’s Technical Advisory. The City has also adopted the County of Los Angeles Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines which are used to determine whether a project would adequately reduce total VMT, and as such, determined the following screening criteria for certain land development projects that may be presumed to result in a less than significant VMT impact:
● Projects that result in a net increase of 110 or less daily vehicle trips. As discussed in the previous section and shown in Table 5, the project is estimated to generate 179 net new daily trips. Therefore, the project does not satisfy this criterion.
● Projects located in a High-Quality Transit Area (i.e., within half-mile distance of an existing rail transit station or located within half-mile of two or more existing bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 15 minutes or less during morning and evening peak hours). Given the project

CITY OF PICO RIVERA CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ROSEMEAD TOWNHOMES ● 6540 ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD ● PICO RIVERA, CALIFORNIA CLASS 32 INFILL DEVELOPMENT EXEMPTION PAGE 28
consists of only residential land use, the City’s VMT per capita map was used to evaluate whether the project is in a low VMT Area. Based on the review of the City of Pico Rivera’s Daily Home-Based VMT per Capita screening map (Figure 3 of the TIS Guidelines), the project is not located in a low VMT area; therefore, this criterion does not apply to the project. ● Transit Proximity Area. The project is not located within an existing Transit Priority Area (TPA) but is located within the future TPA which is the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 project to be completed in 2035, as shown in Figure 1 of the TIS Guidelines. The TIS Guidelines recommends that projects located within the future Transit Priority Area that are estimated to be completed after the Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 is operational are eligible to be screened out. However, Eastside Transit Corridor Phase 2 is estimated to be completed by the year 2035, while the project is estimated to be completed by 2025. Therefore, this screening criteria does not apply to the project. ● Project is locally serving retail (less than 50,000 square feet), including gas stations, banks, restaurants, shopping center. The project consists of residential land uses only; therefore, this screening criteria does not apply to the project.
● Local-serving community colleges, K-12 schools, local parks, daycare centers, etc. The project consists of residential land uses only; therefore, this screening criteria does not apply to the project. ● Residential projects with 100 percent affordable housing. The project consists of market-rate residential land uses only; therefore, this screening criteria does not apply to the project. ● Community institutions project (public library, fire station, local government). The project consists of residential land uses only; therefore, this screening criteria does not apply to the project. ● Local-serving hotels (e.g., non-destination hotels). The project consists of residential land uses only; therefore, this screening criteria does not apply to the project. ● Local-serving assembly uses (places of worship, community organizations). The project consists of residential land uses only; therefore, this screening criteria does not apply to the project. ● Public parking garages and parking lots. The project consists of residential land use only; therefore, this screening criteria does not apply to the project.
● Assisted living or senior housing projects. The project consists of market-rate residential land uses only; therefore, this screening criteria does not apply to the project. ● Affordable, supportive, or transitional housing projects. The project consists of market-rate residential land use only; therefore, this screening criteria does not apply to the project.

Based on the City’s Guidelines, if the project does not have a significant VMT impact under baseline scenario, and is consistent with the SCAG RTP/SCS, no further VMT analysis is necessary for the cumulative scenario evaluation. Since the project is consistent with the City’s General Plan Land Use designation, it is consistent with the SCAG RTP/SCS. Accessible EV parking and the provision of charging for electric vehicles in the residential units will encourage the use of EVs. The latest California Green Building Standards (CALGreen), California Building Code, requires provision of infrastructure to accommodate electric vehicle chargers for new single family and attached dwelling units/town houses. With consideration of the project design features, the project VMT impact would be improved. As a result, the trip generation, trip distribution, and site access impacts resulting from the proposed project would be less than significant.

5.4.2 NOISE

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The approval of the proposed project must not result in any significant effects relating to noise. A significant noise impact would potentially result if the proposed project would potentially impact noise sensitive land uses in the area or create noise levels that would exceed located noise regulations. Consistent with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, a significant impact related to noise would occur if a proposed project were determined to result in any of the following impacts:
 Noise and Land Use Compatibility. The generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies; ● Ground-Borne Vibration Noise. The generation of excessive ground-borne vibration or groundborne noise levels; or ● Aircraft/Airport Noise Exposure. For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels.

The most commonly used unit for measuring the level of sound is the decibel (dB). Zero on the decibel scale represents the lowest limit of sound that can be heard by humans. Noise levels may also be expressed as dBA where an “A” weighting has been incorporated into the measurement metric to account for increased human sensitivity to noise. The A-weighted measurements correlate well with the perceived nose levels at lower frequencies. Noise may be generated from a point source, such as a piece of construction equipment, or from a line source, such as a road containing moving vehicles. The eardrum may rupture at 140 dB. In general, an increase of between 3.0 dB and 5.0 dB in the ambient noise level is considered to represent the threshold for human sensitivity. In other words, increases in ambient noise levels of 3.0 dB or less are not generally perceptible to persons with average hearing abilities.22 Noise may be generated from a point source, such as machinery, or from a line source, such as a roadway segment containing moving vehicles. Because the area of the sound wave increases as the sound gets further and further from the source, less energy strikes any given point over the surface area of the wave. This phenomenon is known as “spreading loss.” Due to spreading loss, noise attenuates (decreases) with distance.

Stationary, or point, noise subject to spreading loss experiences a 6.0 dBA reduction for every doubling of the distance beginning with the initial 50-foot distance.23 Based on the principles of spreading loss noise levels would decrease by 6.0 dBA for every doubling distance beginning with the first 50 feet for point sources (speakers, construction equipment) and approximately 4.5 dBA over a soft surface such as vegetation. 24 Meanwhile, line sources (roadways, railroads) experience a 3.0 dBA reduction for every doubling of the 22 Bugliarello, et. al., The Impact of Noise Pollution, Chapter 127, 1975. 23 United States Department of Transportation – Federal Highway Administration.

distance. Objects that obstruct the line-of-sight between a noise source and a noise receptor reduce noise generated by or within the noise source. Operational noise is expected to decrease by an additional 6.0 dBA at the neighboring residential uses based on the principals of spreading loss.25

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The project site is located in an urbanized setting that contains both commercial and residential uses. The predominant source of noise in the area is related to traffic travelling on Rosemead Boulevard. An Extec Digital Sound Meter was used to conduct the on-site noise measurements. The noise levels were measured using the decibel (dB) metric. The dBA metric uses an “A” frequency weighting to allow for increased sensitivity during the night-time and early morning periods. For purposes of this analysis, the decibel (dB) metric and dBA metric should be considered the same. The noise meter was calibrated using an “A” weighting with the slow response setting. A series of 100 discreet noise measurements were recorded on Friday, March 8th, 2024, at 9:00 AM within a 30-minute time period at the project site (6540 Rosemead Boulevard). The average ambient noise level was recorded at 64.4 dBA, with the main source of ambient noise coming from street traffic travelling on Rosemead Boulevard. Table 6 indicates the variation in noise levels over time during the measurement period. For example, the L50 represents the noise levels that were exceeded during the measurement period 50 percent of the time (half the time the noise level exceeded this level and half the time the noise level was less than this level). The median ambient exterior noise level (L50) was 64.0 dBA at the measurement location.

Noise and Land Use Compatibility Impacts.

The City of Pico Rivera has developed its own land use compatibility standards based on recommended parameters from the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research (OPR) land use and noise compatibility guidelines. Based on these guidelines, the City has established interior and exterior noise standards for various types and/or categories of development. The City’s compatibility standards provide only for normally acceptable conditions based on State recommendations and City land use designations. For medium density residential development, the City’s noise compatibility standard is 45 dBA for interior noise 25 United States Department of Transportation – Federal Highway Administration. Transit Noise and Vibration Impact Assessment Manual. Report dated September 2018.

CITY OF PICO RIVERA CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ROSEMEAD TOWNHOMES ● 6540 ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD ● PICO RIVERA, CALIFORNIA CLASS 32 INFILL DEVELOPMENT EXEMPTION PAGE 31
exposure and 65 dBA for exterior noise exposure.26 The proposed project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

Ground-Borne Vibration Noise
Composite construction noise is best characterized in a study prepared by Bolt, Beranek, and Newman.27 In the aforementioned study, the noisiest phases of construction are anticipated to be 89 dBA as measured at a distance of 50 feet from the construction activity. In later phases during building erection, noise levels are typically reduced from these values and the physical structures further break up line-of-sight noise. The City’s General Plan Noise Element Policy 11.3-1, Construction Noise, states that construction-related noise and vibration within 500 feet of noise-sensitive uses be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and that haul truck deliveries be subject to the same hours specified for construction. The City does not have an established criterion for construction noise. The project contractors would be required to adhere to the City’s Noise Ordinance. Construction noise would include noise emanating from equipment such as backhoes, dozers, or graders. This noise would be attenuated by the exterior walls of the adjacent sensitive receptors, which would contribute to a reduction of up to 20 dBA with closed windows and a reduction of 10 dBA with open windows.28 In addition, the nearest sensitive receptor is approximately 20 feet south of the site. Adherence to the aforementioned Noise Ordinance requirements would ensure construction noise is kept to levels that are less than significant. Ground vibrations associated with construction activities using modern construction methods and equipment rarely reach the levels that result in damage to nearby buildings though vibration related to construction activities may be discernible in areas located near the construction site.

The interior noise levels would be reduced by complying with the California Green Building code, which requires the use energy efficient windows and insulation which would further reduce interior noise levels.

Insulation would be placed between the joists and studs and would serve as an additional buffer which, when combined with stucco and drywall, would reduce interior noise levels by a minimum of 10.0 dBA. Once occupied, the overall increase in the ambient noise levels would not be readily apparent to an individual with normal hearing. In addition, the project would not result in the exposure of nearby residents to the generation of excessive ground-borne noise due to the nature of the proposed use (no heavy machinery or equipment is anticipated to be in operation once the project is complete). The proposed project’s future residents would be required to adhere to all pertinent City noise regulations. Furthermore, the traffic associated with the proposed project would not be great enough to result in a measurable or perceptible increase in traffic noise (it typically requires a doubling of traffic volumes to increase the ambient noise levels to 3.0 dBA or greater).

As indicated previously, the proposed residential use would not result in a doubling of traffic volumes on Rosemead Boulevard. As a result, the traffic noise impacts resulting from the proposed project would be less than significant. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

Aircraft/Airport Noise Exposure
There are no airports or airfields that are located in the City of Pico Rivera. The project site is not located within two miles of a public airport. The closest airport to the project site is the San Gabriel Valley Airport, 26 City of Pico Rivera General Plan Noise Element. Table N‐3. 27 USEPA, Protective Noise Levels. 1971.

located more than 8 miles to the northeast in the City of El Monte.29 As a result, the project will not expose people working in the project area to excessive noise levels and no impacts will occur. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

5.4.3 AIR QUALITY

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The approval of the proposed project must not result in any significant effects relating to air quality. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has jurisdiction over a 10,743 square-mile area that includes Orange County, Los Angeles County (except for Antelope Valley), the non-desert portion of western San Bernardino County, and western Riverside County. The SCAQMD is responsible for the implementation of the protocols of the Federal Clean Air Act. In addition, the SCAQMD is responsible for ensuring that the more stringent California Clean Air standards are met. The SCAQMD is responsible for the formulation and implementation of a long-range plan referred to as the Air Quality Management Plan or AQMP that indicates how these objectives would be met. Projects in the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) generating construction-related emissions that exceed any of the following emissions thresholds are considered to be significant under CEQA:
● 75 pounds per day of reactive organic compounds;
● 100 pounds per day of nitrogen dioxide;
● 550 pounds per day of carbon monoxide;
● 150 pounds per day of PM10;
● 55 pounds per day of PM2.5; or,
● 150 pounds per day of sulfur oxides.

The proposed project would have a significant long-term impact on air quality if any of the operational emission significance thresholds for criteria pollutants are exceeded:
● 55 pounds per day of reactive organic compounds;
● 55 pounds per day of nitrogen dioxide;
● 550 pounds per day of carbon monoxide;
● 150 pounds per day of PM10;
● 55 pounds per day of PM2.5; or,
● 150 pounds per day of sulfur oxides.30

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The analysis of daily construction and operational emissions was prepared utilizing the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod V.2022.1.1.22). As shown in Table 7, the daily construction emissions would not exceed the SCAQMD significance thresholds. The analysis of daily construction emissions has been prepared utilizing the California Emissions Estimator Model (CalEEMod V.2022.1.1.22) developed for the SCAQMD (these CalEEMod computer worksheets are attached as an Appendix to this CE. The project’s construction period would include the demolition of the existing motel, the construction of the 95 townhome 29 Google Earth. Website accessed October 18, 2021.

units, and the finishing of the project (paving, painting, and the planting of landscaping). The Applicant has indicated the construction period would be 32 months. As shown in Table 7, daily construction emissions would not exceed the SCAQMD’s significance thresholds and represents a maximum-case scenario.

Therefore, the maximum daily construction-related emissions would be less than significant. The Applicant would be required to ensure that the contractors adhere to all pertinent provisions of SCAQMD Rule 403 pertaining to the generation of fugitive dust during grading and/or the use of equipment on unpaved surfaces.

The contractors would be responsible for being familiar with and implementing any pertinent best available control measures. As a result, the project would not result in significant impacts in this regard.

Long-term emissions refer to those air quality impacts that would occur once the proposed project has been constructed and is operational. These impacts would continue over the operational life of the project. The two main sources of operational emissions include area emissions and on-site emissions related to the production and consumption of energy. Table 8 depicts the estimated project operational emissions related to the project’s operation. As indicated in Table 8 the projected maximum long-term emissions are below thresholds considered to represent a significant impact.

Sensitive receptors refer to land uses and/or activities that are especially sensitive to poor air quality and typically include residences, board and care facilities, schools, playgrounds, hospitals, parks, childcare centers, and outdoor athletic facilities, and other facilities where children or the elderly may congregate.

These population groups are generally more sensitive to poor air quality. The nearest noise sensitive receptors to the project site are the single-family homes that extend along the project site’s southerly and easterly sides. The SCAQMD requires that CEQA air quality analyses indicate whether a proposed project

CITY OF PICO RIVERA CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ROSEMEAD TOWNHOMES ● 6540 ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD ● PICO RIVERA, CALIFORNIA CLASS 32 INFILL DEVELOPMENT EXEMPTION PAGE 34
would result in an exceedance of localized emissions thresholds or LSTs. LSTs only apply to short-term (construction) emissions at a fixed location and do not include off-site or area-wide emissions. The pollutants that are the focus of the LST analysis include the conversion of NOx to NO2; carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from construction; PM10 emissions from construction; and PM2.5 emissions from construction. For purposes of the LST analysis, the receptor distance used was 25 meters since the nearest sensitive receptor abuts the project site on the south and east sides.

*=Does not include implementation of other SCAQMD Standard Conditions. The adherence to standard regulations would reduce fugitive dust emissions by 50%.

As shown in the Table 9, the proposed project would not result in an exceedance in LSTs. Therefore, project impacts would be less than significant. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

5.4.4 WATER QUALITY

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The approval of the proposed project must not result in any significant effects relating to water quality. A significant water quality impact would potentially result if the proposed project would result in water pollution impacts on-site or offsite during construction or operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed project’s construction would not violate any water quality standards, waste discharge requirements, or otherwise degrade surface or groundwater quality. Construction of the proposed project would not include any significant new include grading, excavation, and other earthmoving activities that have the potential to cause erosion that would subsequently degrade water quality and/or violate water quality standards. As required by the Clean Water Act, the contractors/developer must comply with the Santa Ana Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit.

The NPDES MS4 Permit Program, which is administered in the project area by the County of Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB), regulates storm water and urban runoff discharges from developments to natural and constructed storm drain systems in the City. The contractor/developer would be required to obtain coverage under the General Permit for Discharges of Stormwater Associated with

CITY OF PICO RIVERA CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ROSEMEAD TOWNHOMES ● 6540 ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD ● PICO RIVERA, CALIFORNIA CLASS 32 INFILL DEVELOPMENT EXEMPTION PAGE 35
Construction Activity. The implementation of the proposed project would not result in a violation in water quality standards or discharge requirements because the project contractors would be required to implement the operational Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan during construction and the operational BMPs identified in the Non-priority Water Quality Management Plan (NP-WQMP), for reducing runoff and potential contaminants. Adherence to the aforementioned City mandated requirements ensure that impacts remain less than significant. The project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

FINDING 5.5 - SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS ON UTILITIES AND PUBLIC SERVICES (CEQA SECTION 15332 (E)

5.5.1 UTILITIES

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The approval of the proposed project must not result in any significant effects relating to utilities. A significant impact on utilities would potentially result if the proposed project would require new utilities or service systems to accommodate potential demand.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Sewers and Wastewater Treatment
There would be a total of 95 town home units. The proposed project is anticipated to generate 19,000 gallons per day (gpd) of wastewater. The City of Pico Rivera’s Sewer Division is responsible for the collection of wastewater within the City’s limits and delivery to the trunk sewer mains of Los Angeles County Sanitation District (LACSD). The collected wastewater flows south towards the Los Coyotes Water Reclamation Plant of LACSD in the city of Cerritos. The LACSD is responsible for all trunk sewer line and treatment. The Los Coyotes Water Reclamation Plant has a design capacity of 37.5 mgd. The projected sewer demand of 32,398 gpd represents approximately 0.507 percent of the wastewater treatment plant’s design capacity. As such, the proposed project would not result in or require the construction of new or expanded wastewater treatment facilities. The proposed project would connect to an existing 8-inch sewer line located in the project site. The existing and future sewage consumption for the existing use and the proposed project are indicated in Table 10.

The existing and proposed sanitary sewer lines can accommodate the sewage flows from the proposed 95 units. Therefore, project impacts would be less than significant. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

Water
The proposed project would provide additional onsite domestic water connections onsite to accommodate the additional 95 townhome units. No off-site upgrades will be required. The estimated daily water consumption per unit is 300 gallons per day. Based on these rates, the proposed project would consume a total of 28,500 gallons per day. The proposed project would connect to an existing 12-inch water main along the project’s west side. The existing and future water consumption for the existing use and the proposed project are indicated in Table 11.

Therefore, project impacts would be less than significant. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

Stormwater
The project site is located in an urbanized setting that contains commercial and residential uses. Overall, the amount of impervious surfaces would not measurably change. The existing storm drain system in the project site area includes a parkway culvert storm drain system in Rosemead Boulevard that collects existing street drainage flows from the roadway as well as on-site runoff and off-site adjacent properties runoff. The proposed project would include a storm drain system to collect, treat, and convey stormwater into the existing storm drain system and introduce pervious landscaping on the project site. Therefore, the proposed project would result in a less than significant impact and no mitigation measures are required.. Therefore, project impacts would be less than significant.

Solid Waste Collection
The proposed project is expected to generate 636 pounds of conventional solid waste per day. This figure assumes a generation rate of 12.23 pounds of waste per day per unit. The existing and future solid waste generation for the existing use and the proposed project are indicated in Table 12.

5.5.2 PUBLIC SERVICES

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The approval of the proposed project must not result in any significant effects relating to public services. A significant impact on public services would potentially result if the proposed project would require new facilities or increased services to accommodate potential demand.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Fire Department
Fire protection and emergency medical services in the city of Pico Rivera are provided by the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD). Services include fire suppression, emergency medical, rescue and fire prevention, and hazardous materials coordination services. There are three existing fire stations within two miles of the project site. The first response station is Fire Station 103, located at 7300 S. Paramount Boulevard, The proposed project would not negatively impact fire protection services since the new units would be constructed in accordance with current fire and building codes.31 As part of the project review process, the LACFD would review the new housing development and make recommendations for fire protection services. The buildings’ construction, height, and use would not require any special equipment or apparatus in the event of a fire or emergency. the proposed project’s population and housing is consistent with the growth projections for the city of Pico Rivera. Further, the operation of the proposed project would contribute to property taxes that would help fund LACFD and hire more personnel, if needed. Development of the project would not result in the need for construction associated with an expansion of existing or development of a new fire station. Therefore, the project would result in less than significant impacts related to fire protection services. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

Law Enforcement
Pico Rivera policing services are provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD). The closest Sheriff’s station is the Pico Rivera Sheriff’s Station located at 6631 Passons Boulevard, 0.8 miles from the project site (see Figure 11). According to the LASD, the Pico Rivera Sheriff’s Station typically has a daily 31 Los Angeles County Fire Department. Fire Stations.

34.5 minutes for routine calls, 9.3 minutes for priority calls, and 3.6 minutes for emergency calls, which is within policy standards. There are no existing deficiencies in police protection services within the City.

The proposed project may lead to an increase in demand for police protection services, such as increase in service calls and traffic enforcement, by adding new residents to the area, such an increase is within the projected growth for the City of Pico Rivera, and LASD has indicated that there are no existing deficiencies.

The proposed project would also include design elements that would discourage criminal activity, such as security gates, and residents-only key cards for the residential areas, as well as security lighting. LASD indicates that its primary source of funding for this station is through its contract with the city of Pico Rivera.

The proposed project would be required to pay all applicable impact fees and would contribute to applicable taxes to continue funding the police station. These fees are in place to address any incremental development project impact and are to be used for infrastructure improvements and services. The proposed project would not result in the need for new or physically altered police protection facilities. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

Schools
The El Rancho Unified School District (District) would serve the proposed project. The District serves grades kindergarten through 12, with one Elementary School, one Middle School, and two High Schools. The proposed project would be required to pay all development fees required pursuant to Assembly Bill 2926 and Section 17620 of the California Government Code. The Applicant would be required to pay $2.63 per square foot to the El Rancho School District to offset the impact to school services. Therefore, impacts associated with schools would be less than significant and no mitigation would be required. The payment of the aforementioned school impact fees to the applicable school district is considered to be full mitigation for project-related impacts. The proposed project's school enrollment impacts would be offset by the school fees that would be paid by the developer. Therefore, project impacts would be less than significant. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

Parks and Recreation
The City of Pico Rivera has approximately 102 acres of developed park and recreation facilities. The nearest park to the project site is Smith Park located approximately 1,500 feet to the north of the project site. This new development would include a one level 1,260 square foot clubhouse. The clubhouse would include a multi-purpose room, a covered patio, and a pool area. In addition to the common open space, each unit would have 150 square feet of ground level open space yard area and 100 square feet of open space on the upper level decks. The proposed project may be subject to the Quimby Act or pay in-lieu fees for park improvements.

Pursuant to the Quimby Act, the Applicant would pay its fair share of in-lieu fees based on the number and type of dwelling units. Therefore, project impacts would be less than significant. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and the environmental impacts would be less than significant.

FINDING 5.6 - SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS RELATED TO INFILL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS CEQA SECTION 15300 (C)(D)(E)
FINDING 5.6.1. - DISLOCATION

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The approval of the proposed project must not result in any significant effects relating to the displacement or dislocation of an existing population group. The emphasis is on the displacement of housing, especially affordable housing.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The project site is currently occupied by an existing motel. This motel is a commercial development and is not being used for interim or supportive housing. The proposed project would be limited to the project site and no dislocation of off-site structural improvements would be required to accommodate the proposed project. Therefore, no project impacts would result. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and there would be no environmental impacts.

FINDING 5.6.2. - SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
To be categorically exempt, the proposed project must be located on a site that has no impact on sensitive environmental resources.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The project site is located in an urbanized setting that contains commercial and residential uses. The proposed project site in its entirety is fully developed with no areas of native and natural habitat. The site is covered over in both impervious surfaces that includes the existing buildings and surface pavement and landscaped areas. The project site’s isolation from other natural open space areas limits its utility as a habitat or an animal migration corridor. The project site and the surrounding areas are not conducive for the survival of any special status species due to the lack of suitable riparian and/or natural habitat. Constant disturbance from traffic, especially on Rosemead Boulevard, and other human activity further limits the site’s utility as a sensitive habitat or migration corridor.32 Since the site is within an established urban area that extends along the Rosemead Boulevard corridor and lacks suitable habitat, the site’s utility as a natural habitat and migration corridor is restricted. Therefore, no project impacts would result. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and there would be no environmental impacts. 32 Google Maps and City of Pico Rivera Zoning Map. Website accessed on March 11, 2024.

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The approval of the proposed project must not result in any significant effects relating to a significant impact on a scenic vista. A scenic vista is a viewpoint that provides expansive views of a highly valued landscape for the benefit of the public.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The project site is located in an urbanized setting that contains commercial and residential uses. No scenic natural resources or scenic corridor would be affected by the proposed project. Because of the nature of the proposed project, no alteration of the views would occur. Therefore, no project impacts would result. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and there would be no environmental impacts.

FINDING 5.6.4. - CORTESE LISTING

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The approval of the proposed project must not be located on a property that has been identified by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and the Secretary for Environmental Protection as being located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Government Code Section 65962.5 refers to the Hazardous Waste and Substances Site List, commonly known as the Cortese List. The Cortese List is a planning document used by the State and other local agencies to comply with CEQA requirements that require the provision of information regarding the location of hazardous materials release sites. A search was conducted through the California Department of Toxic Substances Control Envirostor website to identify whether the project site is listed in the database as a Cortese site.33 The search indicates the project site is not located on a Cortese site. Therefore, no project impacts would result. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and there would be no environmental impacts.

FINDING 5.6.5. - HISTORIC RESOURCES

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The approval of the proposed project must not result in any significant effects relating to the historic resources. According to CEQA, a project may be deemed to have a significant adverse impact on cultural resources if it results in any of the following:
33 California, State of. Department of Toxic Substances Control. https://www.envirostor.dtsc.ca.gov/public/map/

CITY OF PICO RIVERA CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT ROSEMEAD TOWNHOMES ● 6540 ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD ● PICO RIVERA, CALIFORNIA CLASS 32 INFILL DEVELOPMENT EXEMPTION PAGE 41
● The proposed project would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to §15064.5.
● The proposed project would cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an archaeological resource pursuant to §15064.5.
● The proposed project would disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries.

Historic structures and sites are defined by local, State, and Federal criteria. A site or structure may be historically significant if it is locally protected through a General Plan or historic preservation ordinance. In addition, a site or structure may be historically significant according to State or Federal criteria even if the locality does not recognize such significance. The California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) is a listing of all properties considered to be significant historical resources in the state. The California Register includes all properties listed or determined eligible for listing on the National Register, including properties evaluated under Section 106, and State Historical Landmarks No. 770 and above. The California Register statute specifically provides that historical resources listed, determined eligible for listing on the California Register by the State Historical Resources Commission, or resources that meet the California Register criteria are resources which must be given consideration under CEQA. Other resources, such as resources listed on local registers of historic resources or in local surveys, may be listed if they are determined by the State Historic Resources Commission to be significant.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The project site is not included on the City’s list of designated historic resources. Thus, no project impacts would result. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and there would be no environmental impacts.

FINDING 5.6.6. - STATE TRUSTEE OR RESPONSIBLE AGENCY APPROVAL

THRESHOLDS OF SIGNIFICANCE
The approval of the proposed project must not require any approvals from a State responsible or trustee agency.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed project would not require any review by a state trustee or responsible agency. No encroachment permit to a State Highway would be required as part of the proposed project’s implementation. Therefore, no project impacts would result. The proposed project is consistent with this finding and there would be no environmental impacts.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on the analysis provided in this Categorical Exemption, the project meets and complies with the conditions and requirements of Class 32 (Infill Exemption) and would not have any significant environmental impacts.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: City Manager
Meeting Date: April 23, 2024
Subject: PUBLIC HEARING – FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ANNUAL

ACTION PLAN APPROVAL
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to submit the fiscal year 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; and

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund as a result of the approval of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan. It is anticipated that the City will receive $550,000 in CDBG funds. The attached FY 2024-2025 CDBG budget (Enclosure 2), reflects the projected appropriation of the FY 2024-2025 funding and projected expenditures and will be presented to the City Council with the FY 2024-25 Citywide Budget for appropriation.

Background:

The City of Pico Rivera (City) receives an annual funding allocation in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are used to develop viable communities by promoting integrated approaches that provide and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income people. Examples include public services programs, social services, and economic development activities. Each year, the City prepares an Annual Action Plan in connection with the five-year Consolidated Plan, which details how the City will spend its allocated CDBG funds.

The Annual Action Plan has two (2) principal purposes:
• Identify the projects and programs to be undertaken during the upcoming fiscal year, and the proposed objectives and outcomes to be achieved within the overall context of the five-year Consolidated Plan; and 2 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2024
PUBLIC HEARING – FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

BLOCK GRANT ANNUAL ACTION PLAN APPROVAL

Page 2 of 4 ends

• Act as the City’s application process for federal formula grants, comprised of the CDBG programs.

Activities funded with CDBG must meet at least one (1) of the following objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons;
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and • Meet a need having a particular urgency (referred to as urgent need).

Priority funding for CDBG activities are typically given to activities that:
• Have a high benefit to low- and moderate-income persons; • Have a detailed plan for permanent funding;
• Are likely to achieve their objectives and be successful; • Use other public and private sources to the greatest extent possible; • Support or coordinate with other community development efforts; • Present a reasonable, sound budget; and
• Are implemented by organizations with a solid track record.

Discussion:

On January 19, 2024, the City issued a notice inviting community-based organizations, non-profits, city departments, and residents to submit proposals for CDBG funds to deliver public services in the Pico Rivera community. The deadline for proposal submissions was February 8, 2024. To assist potential applicants, a Public Services Technical Assistance Workshop was conducted on January 31, 2024, to answer any questions. City staff thoroughly reviewed all applications and collaborated closely with applicants to ensure that all required documentation was provided to establish program eligibility for funding of proposed activities.

In accordance with the HUD-approved Citizen Participation Plan, the City is required to hold a 30-day public comment period and publish a public notice specifying the date, time, and location of a public hearing to adopt the Annual Action Plan. The City hosted this 30-day public comment period from March 22, 2024, to April 23, 2024. The draft Action Plan, outlining the City's proposed uses of CDBG funds, was made available for public review during this period, with a notice published in Los Cerritos Community News.

HUD has not yet announced the final funding allocations for FY 2024-2025. The proposed allocations are based on estimates derived from the previous year's funding levels. Funding for activities may need to be adjusted after HUD announces final allocations.

The City’s estimated CDBG entitlement allocation for FY 2024-2025 is $550,000.

Additionally, the City has approximately $132,356 in CDBG funds available to commit from prior fiscal years. This provides the City a total of $682,356 in available funds to program in FY 2024-2025.

The proposed new CDBG estimated funding allocations for FY 2024-2025 are below:

Program Activity/Project Funding
Recommendation
Program Administration* $99,500
Fair Housing Services* $10,500
Southeast Area Social Services Funding Authority** $40,000 Heart of Compassion** $42,500
Handyworker Grant Program $125,000
Teen Center Renovation Project $364,856
Total $682,356
* Subject to 20% Administration cap
** Subject to 15% Public Service cap
Staff recommends allocating funds to the above-listed activities, which are further outlined below:
• Program administration funds are utilized for administration and planning activities, such as general management, oversight, preparing budgets and schedules, and preparing reports and other HUD-required documents. These funds help cover the consultant costs for the administration of the program.

Planning and administration costs are capped to 20% of the program year’s allocated CDBG entitlement, plus any program income received during that year. • The City is required to provide fair housing resources via a provider who can provide guidance and mediation for fair housing issues and complaints involving landlords and tenants. Fair housing activities are eligible administrative activities, and these costs are also subject to the 20% administration cap. • The Southeast Area Social Services Funding Authority (SASSFA) provides congregate meals at the Senior Center and home delivered meals to senior Pico Rivera residents. In addition to meals, SASSFA provides home chores/personal care and respite services. These are public service activities with costs capped to 15% of the program year’s allocated CDBG entitlement, plus any program income received during that year.
• Heart of Compassion plans to offer direct assistance to low-income Pico Rivera residents by distributing fresh fruits, vegetables, and other essential items twice a CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2024

week. As public service activities these costs are also subject to the 15% public service cap.
• The Handyworker Grant Program is a home rehabilitation program. It allows up to $30,000 in grant funds for low-income homeowners with critical home repair needs. Staff recommends allocating $125,000 to this program for the upcoming fiscal year.
• Infrastructure and Public Facilities Improvements: Additional CDBG funds are recommended for allocation towards facility improvements at the Pico Rivera Youth Center. The additional funds support necessary change orders for the completion of this project. An extra $364,856 will be added to the prior year’s CDBG program allocation of $348,812, resulting in a total of $713,668 in CDBG funding to go towards the Youth Center Renovation Project.

Environmental Analysis:

The plan 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 Annual Action Plan and budget 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 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:

It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to submit the FY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan to HUD and enter into agreements with eligible subrecipients for the purchase of supplies, programs and equipment.

1. Introduction
The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan for the City of Pico Rivera satisfies the requirements to receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program was created by the Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) of 1974. The primary objective of the CDBG program is to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income.

Regulations governing the CDBG program require that each activity undertaken with CDBG funds meet one of the three national objectives:
• Benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
• Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight. • Meet a community development need having a particular urgency.

As a recipient of CDBG funds, the City is required to prepare a five-year strategic plan that identifies housing and community needs, prioritizes these needs, and develops a strategic plan to address priority needs. This document is called the Consolidated Plan. The City’s most recent Consolidated Plan covers the fiscal years 2020-2025. On an annual basis, the City prepares an annual action plan that identifies the specific activities the City will undertake with its annual CDBG allocation to meet the priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 is the fifth year of the Consolidated Plan cycle.

For FY 2024-25, the City’s CDBG Entitlement grant is estimated at $550,000. Additionally the City anticipates having approximately $132,356 of carryover and previously unprogrammed CDBG funds; this provides the City a total of $682,356 in available funds to program in FY 2024- 2025. The City does not anticipate any program income.

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan is a five-year strategic plan that utilizes an extensive analysis of housing and community market data to identify priority needs. Corresponding goals and objectives for the use of CDBG funds are established and are carried out through the development of the Annual Action Plan.

1. Introduction
As required by HUD, nonprofits and community residents were provided an opportunity to review and comment on the draft 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan.

Residents were encouraged to participate in a public hearing held on April 23, 2024. The draft Annual Action Plan was available for public review and comment for a minimum of 30 days, March 22, 2024 to April 23, 2024. Copies of the Action Plan were available to the public on the City’s website.

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(l))
The principal provider of community development and economic development programs, housing projects, and financial support is the City of Pico Rivera. The Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency administers the Section 8 Voucher program. Activities to be undertaken by the Housing Assistance Agency are identified in the Public Housing Agency (PHA) Five-Year Action Plan.

Activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and governmental health, mental health, and service agencies are conducted on a regular basis including inviting applications from various (i.e., housing, mental health, etc.) providers.

Continued coordination is anticipated for planning efforts, as well as project implementation, between all these groups.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

The City coordinates the delivery of homeless services with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). For over 20 years, LAHSA has been the primary applicant to HUD on behalf of the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. LAHSA provides grants to homeless organizations in Pico Rivera. These programs provide support services and shelter opportunities for situationally homeless individuals and families, and the chronically homeless.

The City of Pico Rivera is also a member of the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (COG) which leads efforts to address homelessness within the southeast Los Angeles County Annual Action Plan 8
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
region. COG members collaborate and continually seek funding to develop a plan to advance individuals from homelessness to a stable and productive life. Existing models of success have been identified in the work of the Gateway Cities Ad Hoc Committee on Homelessness.

CDBG funding is also provided to social services organizations to assist low-income Pico Rivera residents in need of assistance.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS.

The City of Pico Rivera is not a recipient of ESG funds thus it is not involved in the allocation of ESG funds, developing performance standards, program outcomes, or operational/Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) policies and procedures.

2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations and others who participated in the process and describe the jurisdiction’s consultations with housing, social service agencies and other entities

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Pico Rivera recognizes its responsibility to assist at risk households and the homeless as such, it has designated homelessness prevention as a high priority for the community; emergency and transitional shelters are also designated as high priority needs. City partnerships with local agencies support client outreach and assessment.

Describe the jurisdiction’s one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless people (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs.

The City makes use of and partners with available County resources to outreach and address issues pertaining to homelessness. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) operates the Los Angeles County Homeless Outreach Portal where anyone in the City (i.e., City staff, business owners, residents) can request that a County homeless outreach team be dispatched to assess a person’s needs and potentially make a referral for additional services.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless people.

The City is an active participant in regional homeless planning efforts including those of LAHSA. Through these efforts, the City can coordinate the use of limited CDBG funds to address local homeless needs and contribute to a regional strategy to reduce homelessness. CDBG public service grants may be used to provide a safety net for area residentsthat are also at risk of becoming homeless.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again.

Permanent housing and independent living are the end goal of the City’s homeless prevention efforts. To this end, the City will encourage service providers to make every effort to minimize the amount of time an individual/household remain homeless, provide access to affordable housing, and to minimize recidivism. In recent years, the "housing first" model has been implemented by several homeless service providers. These rapid rehousing programs have helped reduce the number of those experiencing homelessness Annual Action Plan 28
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
by providing permanentshelter and criticalsupportive services.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

Although the City has limited funds, it is committed to assisting low-income individuals and families avoid experiencing homelessness. The City is an active participant in regional homeless planning efforts including those of LAHSA. Through these efforts, the City can coordinate the use of limited CDBG funds to address local homeless needs and contribute to a regional strategy to reduce homelessness. CDBG public service grants can provide a safety net for area residents that are also at risk of becoming homeless.

The City of Pico Rivera is actively engaged in a range of coordinated efforts and active collaboration among community organizations, the business community and concerned residents dedicated to overcoming homelessness in our community. The City currently engages a full-time Sheriff’s Deputy who assists the unsheltered in the city. The City of Pico Rivera partners with the following non-profits that assist low-income individuals and families to avoid homelessness:

Whittier First Day- local non-profit organization which provides the following services:
transitional bridge housing, on-site meals, clothing, 12 step meetings, education, training, employment assistance, transportation, on-site health clinic, health screenings, mental health services, and case management.

The Whole Child - provides children, adolescents, and families in the community with affordable, culturally sensitive, and professional mental services. Services include free parenting education in English and Spanish, child abuse prevention, anger management classes, substance abuse help, and counseling for teens.

LosAngelesHomeless ServicesAuthority (LAHSA)- which is a joint government agency that is responsible for addressing homelessness in our region. LAHSA also operated the County Homeless assistance portal LA-HOP.org, which is an outreach portal designed to allow government agencies and residents to initiate an outreach referral and connect a person experiencing homelessness directly to local services.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) - Lead agency assisting single adults experiencing homelessness within our community. PATH helps people find permanent housing and provides case management, medical and mental healthcare, benefits advocacy, employment training, and other services to people experiencing homelessness.

Jovenes- Assists youth ages 18-25. Provides housing assistance, healthcare, education, employment, and trauma recovery.

Transit Deputy – Serve as point of contact for people experiencing homelessness throughout the City. The Los Angeles County Deputy provides in-the-field case management (connect persons to shelter, food, and housing). He also serves as the lead on encampment clean-ups and addresses local business concerns related to homelessness.

Discussion
The City also makes referrals to 2-1-1 which is a comprehensive informational and referral system linking Los Angeles County residents to community health and human services and support. 2-1-1 connects people every day to shelters, food, low-cost counseling, subsidized childcare, employment services, and a range of services for individual and family selfsufficiency.

The programs identified above, which address various needs that can help support individuals or families avoid homelessness, demonstrate that addressing this issue is complex and requires many partners to come to the table. The City is fortunate that it can utilize this network of agencies to provide housing and supportive services.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

Barriers to affordable housing and actions to overcome barriers are detailed in the City’s Housing Element and mirrored in the Consolidated Plan.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment.

The City will utilize several policies intended to provide additional flexibility in housing site planning and promote more intense development where appropriate:
• The City’s Housing Sites Inventory Program helps ensure that the City continuously monitors available sites in the area that may be appropriate for residential uses. • Density Floor is another tool that can be used to promote the maximum use of residential land. The Density Floor would establish a minimum density requirement within a given residential land-use designation. The availability of developable acreage in upper density ranges allows for the development of certain types of housing.
• The City will continue to consider alternate forms of residential development, including various types of small-lot, single-family subdivisions; mobile home parks that allow owner-occupied spaces; senior citizen multifamily housing developments offering various degrees of care and assistance; mixed-use residential, and planned unit developments.
• Developers will be encouraged to pursue projects providing low- and moderateincome housing. California has provided regulations to govern the approval process, permitting greater density for affordable housing projects that include additional incentives to the developer. The City utilizes this Density Bonus to encourage developers interested in additional density with an incentive to develop a portion of their market rate project as affordable to low- and moderate- income households.

Discussion:

The Pico Rivera Housing Element and 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan identify barriers to the provision of affordable housing and provided a strategy to address barriers. Outlined above are steps the City identified it will undertake during the 2020-2025 planning period Annual Action Plan 31
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
to overcome barriers. These actions will continue to be implemented during FY 2024-25.

Annual Action Plan 32
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

Outlined below are the actions the City will implement to address the “Other” sub-strategies of the Consolidated Plan.

Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs.

The City of Pico Rivera’s 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan proposes projects and activities to meet housing and community priorities needs. The Plan includes programs, projects, and activities to be undertaken that address the needs of the underserved in Pico Rivera.

Specific activities to be carried out during FY 2024-25 include the following:
• Support for nonprofit agencies, particularly those that provide social services for special needs populations, i.e. – senior and lower income households with a cost burden.
• Programs that improve the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in substandard housing, e.g., handy worker repairs/improvements, public facility/infrastructure improvements. • Programsthat promote fair housing, especially among lower income households.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing.

In general, the City will utilize several policies to provide flexibility in housing site planning and to promote more intense development where appropriate. The City’s Housing Sites Inventory Program helps ensure that the City monitors available sites that may be appropriate for residential uses. The City will also continue to consider alternate forms of residential development, including small-lot, single-family subdivisions; mobile home parks that allow owner-occupied spaces; senior citizen multifamily housing developments offering various degrees of care and assistance; mixed-use residential, office and commercial developments; and planned unit developments. Additionally, the City will encourage developers to pursue projects providing low- and moderate-income housing by providing incentives such as a density bonus. If appropriate and available, subsidies to offset the cost of acquisition, development or project-related off-site improvements may be considered.

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards.

HUD’s Lead Based Paint regulations require all units assisted with CDBG and HOME Annual Action Plan 33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
funds be inspected and abated. The City does not receive HOME funds, but its CDBG Handyworker program guidelines include measures to ensure compliance with the regulations which comply with the requirements of Lead Safe Housing Regulation 24 CFR Part 35 effective September 15, 2000, and the subsequent September 2000 HUD transition assistance policy. The City will refer any cases of suspected lead poisoning to the Los Angeles County Public Health Department for investigation.

Additionally, in accordance with current federal regulations, the City of Pico Rivera’s policy regarding lead-based paint hazards states that all housing units that receive some form of City housing rehabilitation assistance, that were built prior to 1978, must undergo lead- based paint testing prior to receiving funding for rehabilitation. If deteriorated lead-based paint surfaces are found, they must be stabilized during the rehabilitation of the property. Abatement must be performed by a certified lead-based paint professional, and a Clearance Inspection must be issued by the certified lead-based paint assessor prior to the issuance of a Notice of Completion.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families.

The activities and services the City will provide during FY 2024-25 to combat and prevent poverty include the following:
• Preserve affordable housing options for residents including housing rehabilitation assistance and federal rental assistance via Housing Choice Voucher and Certificates administered by the Pico Rivera Housing Assistance Agency. • Provide public services to assist lower-income seniors and households to improve their quality of life.

Actions planned to develop institutional structure.

The City has tried to develop an institutional structure that will help identify and access resources to improve the community. The City will continue to work with nonprofit entities to deliver public services. As a partner of LAHSA, the City will provide critical information to the County of Los Angeles for preparation of the County’s Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance grant applications. Pico Rivera will provide critical information regarding mainstream funds the City will make available to serve the homeless and will also assist in identifying and prioritizing gaps and needs in the regional system of care. Additionally, the Annual Action Plan 34
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
City will continue to assist the Housing Authority implement its Five-year Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan.

The City is also a participant in the Gateway Cities Council of Governments (COG) which is addressing homelessnessin southeast Los Angeles County region. COGmembersrepresent a variety of local, County, and special districts government agencies. The COG model helps break down existing institutional barriers and create new opportunities for cooperativebased regional solutions.

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies.

The City’s Community and Economic Development Department works closely with other City departments and the community to develop programs and activities that improve lowand moderate-income neighborhoods throughout Pico Rivera. The administration of program activities includes housing, public facility and infrastructure improvements, public and social service activities, and economic development activities. The City collaborates with public agencies, for-profit agencies, and non-profit organizations to provide the programming and services. As outlined above,the City also participatesin numerous efforts to coordinate short- term and long-term solutions to regional issues.

Discussion:

HUD regulations require that the City prepare an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing choice (Al). In addition to identifying fair housing impediments, a strategy to overcome barriers must be developed and implemented; accomplishments are to be reported annually. The City has updated the document and prepared a new AI for the time-period of FY 2020-21 through 2024-25.

The City's current AI evaluates existing demographic data, past fair housing enforcement activity, city- specific mortgage lender data, and existing housing and land use public policies. Based on an analysis of this data, and the input of residents, a list of impediments to fair housing choice was developed. A corresponding set of action steps to ameliorate these barriers was also prepared.

PUBLIC NOTICE

CITY OF PICO RIVERA

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2024-2025 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held before the City of Pico Rivera City Council to receive public comment for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan. The City is an entitlement community and is expected to receive federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the FY 2024-2025 (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025).

WHEN: Tuesday, April 23, 2024
TIME: 6:00 P.M.

WHERE: City Hall Council Chambers
6615 Passons Boulevard
Pico Rivera, CA 90660
As an entitlement jurisdiction, the City is required to prepare and submit to HUD an Annual Action Plan that generally describes how the City will utilize federal money during the next fiscal year to meet the goals and objectives approved by the City Council in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan.

For FY 2024-2025, the City expects to receive approximately $550,000 in CDBG funds. Additionally, the City has an estimated $93,320 in unspent funds available for programming. The total available funds for programming as part of the FY 24-25 Annual Action Plan is approximately $643,320.

Priority Funding for CDBG activities are given to activities that:
• Provide decent affordable housing;
• Maintain and promote neighborhood preservation;
• Affirmatively further fair housing choice for all;
• Provide public services for extremely low, low- and moderate-income residents;
• Construct or upgrade public facilities and infrastructure; and • Planning and administration.

Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed Annual Action Plan is exempt under State CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3) common sense exemption. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Plan would have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, the Plan is exempt from CEQA under the common sense exemption.

PERSONS INTERESTED IN THIS MATTER wishing to observe the meeting may do so in the following ways:
(1) Turn your TV to Channel 3;
(2) Visit the City’s website at https://bit.ly/picorivera-ctv3live; (3) Email public comments to [email protected] prior to 4:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting;
(4) Attend the Public Hearing in person.

Availability of Documents for Public Comment: The City of Pico Rivera encourages citizen participation in the planning process. The 30-day public review period for the FY 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan runs from Friday, March 22, 2024 through Tuesday, April 23, 2024. A copy of the draft Annual Action Plan will be made available for public review on the City of Pico Rivera’s website:
https://www.pico-rivera.org/housing-services-division/. For more information, please contact Eduardo Lizarraga, Analyst, at (562) 801-4420 or via email at [email protected].

If you challenge the consideration or adoption of the proposed Annual Action Plan in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or written correspondence delivered to the City of Pico Rivera City Clerk at, or prior to, the public hearing.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the City of Pico Rivera is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for a person with a disability. Please contact the Pico Rivera City Clerk’s office at (562) 801-4389 if special program accommodations are necessary and/or if program information is needed in an alternative format.

played the right way,” he later said.
“Again, it’s trusting the process and
continuing despite maybe having some
bumps in the road, but we still persevered. The system worked and we continued to this day and it’s what we
have right now.”
Artesia (19-3-3), who was ranked
10th in the division, controlled the first
30 minutes of the contest, both in field
possession and shots taken finally leading up to Remigio’s winning kick.

The Artesia girls soccer program
began in the 1996-1997 season and the
next season, it went 11-9-0 but finished
in fourth place in the former Suburban
League. At that time, only the top three
advanced to the playoffs. The Pioneers
finally made their playoff debut during
the 2008-2009 season and finished
10-10-2. After that, the program went
through seven straight winnings season,
advancing to the playoffs each time,
including a quarterfinal appearance in
the 2012-2013 season.

However, the program went the opposite direction after former head coach Octavio Marquez stepped down to take
over the boys soccer program following
the 2015-2016 season. Artesia would go
through four losing seasons and missed
the playoffs four times since then. This
season, the Pioneers posted 17 shutouts,
four by 1-0 scores and all three losses
were by a combined 10-0 score with all
three ties ending scoreless. Two of the
three losses came to league champion
Cerritos High.
“Last year we missed the playoffs,
and we actually had a decent team last
year,” said Umana. “But things didn’t
happen the way [we wanted]. But I
really feel things happen for a reason
because we have a new, revamped group
this year.”
“Since the very beginning, even
coach [Umana] said that he knew there
was something special with this team,”
said Remigio. “I have a lot of trust in
him, and I felt like he was right. Also, I
want to thank all the staff that pushed us
and helped us and also our families who
are always supporting us.”

Meeting Date: April 23, 2024
Subject: AUTHORIZING APPLICATION SUBMITTAL FOR THE

LOCAL GOVERNMENT WASTE TIRE CLEANUP GRANT

FROM THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES

RECYCLING AND RECOVERY
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution authorizing the submission of applications for funding under the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Grant; and

2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute all program-related documents, including future grant applications and administer funding if the City’s application is awarded.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund from this action. The costs associated with activities of CalRecycle’s Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Grant Program (Grant Program) are funded entirely by awarded monies received from the competitive grant program. If the application is selected, the City will receive a one-time $90,000 grant. No additional appropriations are being requested at this time.

Background:

The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is administering $1.25 million through the fiscal year (FY) 2024-25 Local Government Waste Tire Cleanup Grant Program funding cycle. The Grant Program aims to fund the cleanup and abatement of waste tires collected through responsive citywide illegal dumping reports. Funding from this program derives from the California Tire Recycling Management Fund, where fees are levied on the sale of new tires.

California leads the country with the most registered vehicles than any other state.

Consequently, more than 51 million reusable and waste tires are generated annually, ultimately posing a potential threat to public health. For example, discarded tires may become a habitat for pests, including mosquitoes, which are capable of transmitting various diseases. Additionally, these waste tires pose a fire hazard and can emit harmful smoke when burned. CalRecycle aims to collaborate with local governments to remove 5 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2024

the public health threats that waste tires pose to our community.

Discussion:

CalRecycle administers approximately $1.7 million annually in competitive grants to eligible cities and counties, for activities that support the abatement of illegally disposed waste tires. The Grant Program funds the collection, removal, transportation, recycling, and disposal of waste tires, including staff time, equipment, and contracts.

This is the first time the City of Pico Rivera (City) is applying for this Grant Program. Staff recommends submitting a grant requesting $90,000 to administer a responsive program to public reports of illegally dumped tires. Under this program, the City will dispatch a team to travel to the subject site, collect the tires, transport the tires to a certified CalRecycle facility, and dispose and recycle the tires.

CalRecycle’s guidelines require jurisdictions to submit its completed funding request certification along with an adopted resolution that authorizes application submission, identifies the specific CalRecycle program for which the applicant is eligible, designates staff for administration of the program-related documentation, and establishes the time period for which the authorizations are valid, preferably until rescinded. Program expenditures may start no earlier than the date of the award, which will tentatively begin in August 2024. Distribution of payments will begin in August 2024, and the term will end on October 29, 2026.

Since the City has not previously submitted for this Grant Program, the City must submit an approved and passed resolution to CalRecycle to participate and receive funds from the Grant Program.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution (Enclosure 1) authorizing the City’s submission of an application for the Grant Program and authorizing the City Manager or his authorized designee to execute all program-related documents and administer the program if the City’s application is selected for funding.

Subject: ESTABLISHING JOB CLASSIFICATION FOR THE FULLTIME SENIOR WATER TREATMENT SUPERVISOR AND

RECLASSIFY THE CURRENT WATER TREATMENT

SUPERVISOR TO SENIOR WATER TREATMENT

SUPERVISOR
Recommendation:

1. Approve a resolution establishing job classification for the Senior Water Treatment Supervisor, and

2. Approve the reclassification of a Public Works employee from their current position as the Water Treatment Supervisor to the Senior Water Treatment Supervisor.

Fiscal Impact:

Sufficient funding has been appropriated in the fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 Adopted Budget.

No additional funding is needed for this recommended action.

Background:

The Pico Rivera Water Authority (PRWA) has built Treatment Facilities at each active well site to remove Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances as part of the citywide PFAS project. The City of Pico Rivera (City) must adhere to water treatment protocols and guidelines established by the State Water Resources Control Board, which have stringent regulations and guidelines. As a result, it is necessary to employ certified personnel capable of operating and maintaining materials, equipment, and supplies required to operate water treatment plants.

Discussion:

The PFAS project includes strict requirements and guidelines as described above. The City would need to employ a certified supervisor to oversee all aspects associated with the operation of water treatment plants. The position will use electronic and computerbased systems for gathering and analyzing real-time data, known as Supervisory Control 6 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 23, 2024

and Data Acquisition (SCADA) for various water treatment areas. Due to the size and complexity of this new undertaking, the City’s Public Works team has assessed the experience level required and has determined a senior level supervisor would best meet the needs of the City and the new treatment process. As such, staff recommend the establishment of the job description for a Senior Water Treatment Supervisor.

This role requires a higher level of education and certifications than other Water Division classifications. As a result, it will be necessary to have a Senior Water Treatment Supervisor who will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of these facilities. The current Water Treatment Supervisor meets the requirements for this recommended position. Staff seeks authorization to reclassify this person to the Senior Water Treatment Supervisor.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution (Enclosure 1) establishing the job classification for the Senior Water Treatment Supervisor and reclassify a Public Works employee from their current position as the Water Treatment Supervisor to the Senior Water Treatment Supervisor.
