NEW BUSINESS
Ordinance Nos. 2941 and 2942 Regulating the Termination of Residential Tenancies
City Attorney Abich Garcia presented Urgency Ordinance No. 2941 and Ordinance No. 2942, adding Chapter 9.38 to Article 9 of the Municipal Code regulating the termination of residential tenancies due to demolition or substantial remodel. She explained this was a continuation of a discussion from the July 19, 2022 meeting where the Council heard from tenants of two local apartment complexes that reported they were being evicted by the property owners based on substantial remodeling planned at the sites. During that meeting, the Council directed that an ordinance be brought for their consideration. Key points of the ordinances, include the following: The property owner must obtain all permits related to demolition or substantial remodel of a rental unit prior to issuing a notice of eviction to a tenant(s); The notice of eviction must include a copy of the permits and an explanation: 1) of the scope of the work; 2) why the work cannot be reasonably accomplished in a safe manner Special CC_August 2, 2022
Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22

with the tenant in place; and 3) why the work requires the tenant to vacate the premises for a least 30 days; When the owner issues a notice of eviction for demolition or substantial remodel, the owner is required to provide relocation assistance in the amount of two (2) months’ rent or $4,500, whichever is greater, to the tenant within 15 calendar days of the notice of eviction; and lastly, if the owner is found by a civil court to have intentionally violated these regulations, the owner will be liable for up to $15,000 and/or attorneys’ fees to each tenant as determined by the court.
With the Council's approval, the Urgency Ordinance would take effect immediately, while Ordinance No. 2942 contains the same provisions as the Urgency Ordinance, it will serve as a “back-up” or non-urgency ordinance in case of legal challenges to the Urgency Ordinance.
Ordinance No. 2942 will follow the regular adoption process and is scheduled to come back to the Council on September 6, 2022.
As public comment, Selina Gonzales, John Weekley, Justin Weekley, Cynthia Noren, Kayla Hardemen,Tarun and Scott Fowler supported the urgency ordinance, questioned why tenants would be required to vacate the premises during renovations, described the difficulties of finding affordable housing and thanked the City Attorney and staff for bringing this matter before the Council so quickly. Andy Hoder recommended finding a balanced approach, one that could provide the property owner with the right to a reasonable return on investment and at the same time offer some protection for the renters. Representing Doug Wetton Properties, Doug Wetton, Joe Shipley, Michael Drews and Todd Haig stated the properties under discussion were older and needed extensive renovations. They were not opposed to the ordinance in general, but the relocation fee of $4,500 was burdensome and could force the owner to cut back on proposed renovations.
Council Members discussed the merits of the two ordinances and provided their own thoughts and perspectives. Council Members Guzman-Lowery and Davis agreed the top duty of the City Council was to protect the public and these ordinances provided an opportunity to offer tangible assistance, prevent displacement of residents and make an impact on homelessness.
Council Member Gallagher stated a property owner should be allowed to make improvements, but he was concerned the relocation assistance payments would be an added burden and may discourage owners from investing in the community. Mayor Pro Tem Tejeda and Mayor Barich supported the provision to require landlords to obtain permits before moving forward with renovations. In response to several questions raised by Council Members, City Attorney Abich Garcia clarified the Urgency Ordinance would apply to any notice of eviction that was issued on or after the effective date of the Urgency Ordinance and to tenants: 1) who received a notice of eviction of their tenancy for demolition or substantial remodel; 2) who are in possession of the rental unit; and 3) where the time period in the notice of eviction has not yet expired.
On motion of Mayor Pro Tempore Tejeda, seconded by Council Member Davis, the City Council approved, by roll call vote, to waive further reading of Urgency Ordinance No. 2941; adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 2941; determined that the Ordinance is categorically exempt from environmental review in accordance with Section 15301(c)of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act.

Ordinance Nos. 2941 and 2942 Regulating Termination of Residential Tenancies
City Attorney Abich Garcia summarized Urgency Ordinance No. 2941 and Ordinance No. 2942, adding Chapter 9.38 to Article 9 of the Redlands Municipal Code regulating the termination of residential tenancies due to demolition or substantial remodel. The key points of the ordinances include the following: The property owner must obtain all permits related to demolition or substantial remodel of a rental unit prior to issuing a notice of eviction to a tenant(s); The notice of eviction must include a copy of the permits and an explanation: 1) of the scope of the work; 2) why the work cannot be reasonably accomplished in a safe manner with the tenant in place; and 3) why the work requires the tenant to vacate the premises for a least 30 days; When the owner issues a notice of eviction for demolition or substantial remodel, the owner is required to provide relocation assistance in the amount of two (2) months’ rent or $4,500, whichever is greater, to the tenant within 15 calendar days of the notice of eviction; and lastly, if the owner is found by a civil court to have intentionally violated these regulations, the owner will be liable for up to $15,000 and/or attorneys’ fees to each tenant as determined by the court.
As public comment, Tarun pointed out landlords already have protection under the law, but he thanked the City for their responsiveness. John and Justin Weekley were not in favor of splitting the relocation payments and said renters needed the money up front to secure a new rental unit.
Andy Hoder asked for clarification about the waiver versus relocation payment. Ahmed saw the ordinance as a win/win for both parties. Cray Carlson, a commercial real estate broker, was opposed to asking landlords to pay relocation assistance payments as it penalized the owner and potentially added up to $10,000 to $15,000 in extra costs. Joe Shipley was concerned about the overall harm done by making it more expensive to renovate a rental unit, adding he thought it would cause future tenants to pay higher rent and could make Redlands less attractive to investors.
Council Members restated their views as presented during the August 2, 2022 special meeting. Mayor Barich desired to protect both the property owner and the tenant and suggested the Council consider revising the language related to the relocation payment. He recommended splitting the amount in two, with the first payment of $2,250 due to the tenant within 15 days of the eviction notice and the second payment due when the tenant vacated the premises and returned the key. He said the changes would add necessary protections for a property owner in the event a tenant refused to vacate the premises. Council Members offered their opinions and considered the advantages and disadvantages of splitting the payments in half.
As a compromise, Mayor Pro Tem Tejeda proposed the first payment of two-thirds (2/3) of the rental assistance be paid to the tenant within 15 calendar days of the notice of eviction and the second payment of one-third (1/3) of the rental assistance be paid when the tenant vacated the residential real property. It was agreed by a majority of the Council to accept the revisions as proposed by Mayor Pro Tem Tejeda.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS ADDING CHAPTER 9.38 TO ARTICLE 9 OF THE RE DLANDS MUNICIPAL
CODE REGULATING THE TERMINATION OF RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES
DUE TO DEMOLITION OR SUBSTANTIAL REMODEL
WHEREAS, the California State Legislature adopted the Tenant Protection Act of 2019 (California Civil Code § 1946.2) (the "Act"), and the Act became effective by its own t erms as of January 1, 2020; and
WHEREAS, the Act provides certain tenants of residential real property with just cause eviction protections under certain circumstances; and
WHEREAS, the Act provides that a local ordinance adopted after September 1, 2019, requiring just cause for termination of a residential tenancy shall supersede the Act only if the ordinance is "more protective" than the Act; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt an ordinance with just cause termination of tenancy provisions that are more protective than the Act as it relates to no -fault just cause evictions for demolition or substantial remodel of a residential property; and,
WHEREAS, housing instability threatens the public peace, health, and safety as eviction from one's home can lead to prolonged homelessness, increased residential mobility, loss of community, strain on household finances due to the necessity of paying rental application fees and security deposits, stress and anxiety experienced by those displaced, incr eased commute times and traffic impacts if displaced workers cannot find affordable housing within the city in which they work, and interruption of the education of children in the home.
WHEREAS, eviction creates particular hardships for the disabled, senior citizens, and individuals and households of limited means, given the shortage of affordable housing within the City of Redlands and the region generally; and
WHEREAS, the Act permits property owners to evict tenants based on the intent to demolish or substantially remodel their residential real property with no checks and balances to ensure that property owners are appropriately relying on this basis to evict tenants; and
WHEREAS, renters facing eviction have alerted the City that some property owners may have abused this no-fault just cause ground for eviction by using it as a pretext to evict tenants.
Based on similar reports, other cities in Southern California, including Long Beach, Ventura, Hermosa Beach and Duarte have adopted similar ordinances to prevent misuse of this allowable grounds for eviction; and,
WHEREAS, to ensure that property owners' intent is genuine and that tenants are not evicted earlier than necessary or when the remodel does not reasonable require vacation of the units, the City Council finds that it is in the interest of the public welfare to require residential property owners to obtain all necessary approvals and permits to perform the proposed work Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22

2 L:\ca\Ord\2942 Adding Chapter 9.38 Tenant Protections Substantial Remodel.9.6.22.docx before evicting tenants and to explain to the tenants why the work requires eviction; and,
WHEREAS, tenants served with "no-fault" evictions (owner move -in, substantial remodel, demolishing the rental unit, etc.) receive only one month of relocation assistance from their property owners; and,
WHEREAS, most property owners require first months' rent, last months' rent, security deposit, and application fees upon move-in and many tenants also pay for temporary storage and other moving costs; and
WHEREAS, one month of relocation assistance may not adequately cover these expenses, so relocation assistance must be strengthened to reflect the realities of the rental market and ensure that eviction is only done when the remodel actually rises to the level of "substantial remodel” or involves demolition; and,
WHEREAS, in a rental market where these tenants will not be able to find comparable housing in the C ity, the City Council intends that evictions based on demolition or substantial remodel be implemented only when necessary and that the tenants be given more relocation assistance to avoid homelessness and increased ability to relocate within the C ity of Redlands and provide the least amount of work, life, and familial disruption; and,
WHEREAS, the City finds that this Ordinance is consistent with and more protective than the Act by requiring property owners to obtain necessary permits prior to terminating a lawful residential tenancy ; that the conditions for eviction are explained to the tena nt in the notice of terminatio n; and requiring a higher amount of relocation assistance to ensure that tenants can successfully relocate into comparable housing after those evictions.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated by reference herein.
Section 2. Article 9 (“Public Peace and Welfare”) is amended to add Chapter 9.38 to read as follows:

9.38.010: P URPOSE.
This chapter protects tenants from pretextual evictions in which property owners invoke substantial renovation or demolition of a unit as “just cause” under Civil Code §§ 1946.2, 1947.12, and 1947.13 as adopted by Assembly Bill 1482 (the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, the “Act”), and as may be subsequently amended, by requiring evicting property owners show a government- approved demolition and/or remodeling permit to the tenant prior to initiating an eviction for demolition or substantial remodel of residential real property.
9.38.020 DEFINITIONS.
The following words and phrases, whenever used in this c hapter, shall be construed as defined in this section:

Cosmetic improvements alone, including painting, decorating, and minor repairs, or other work that can be performed safely without having the residential real property vacated, do not qualify as substantial rehabilitation.
9.38.030: NOTICE OF EVICTION BASED ON INTENT TO DEMOLISH OR SUBSTANTIALLY REMODEL RESIDENTIAL REAL PROPERTY.
Before an owner of residential real property issues a notice to terminate a tenancy for a no- fault just cause eviction based on demolition or a substantial remodel of residential real property, the owner shall have obtained all necessary permits for the substantial remodel and/or demolition from all applicable government agencies.

9.38.040 RELOCATION PAYMENTS.
To the extent applicable for a no-fault just cause eviction for intent to demolish or substantially remodel residential real property under California Civil Code § 1946.2(b)(2)(D), the owner must provide relocation assistance in the form of: (i) a rent waiver equal to two months of the tenant's rent that was in effect when the owner issued the notice to terminate the tenancy ; or (ii) a payment of $4,500, whichever is greater. The direct payment of $4,500 shall be paid to the tenant in two payments. The first payment shall be two- thirds (2/3) of the rental assistance to be paid within 15 calendar days after the notice of termination is served on the tenant and the second payment shall be one- third (1/3) of the rental assistance to be paid when the tenant vacates the residential real property. The notice of termination shall state the terms of the applicable rental assistance.
9.38.050 EXCLUSIONS.
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to the types of residential real properties or residential circumstances described in California Civil Code § 1946.2(e).

Subject: OTS Tentatively Approved Your Application
Congratulations! Through a competitive process, the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) has tentatively approved your application 23-003972 in the amount of $130,000 with the proposal titled "Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP)." This tentative award is contingent on approval from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Your OTS Coordinator will contact you to discuss your proposal and explain the grant agreement process. It is our goal to have all new grants start the first of October. If approval from a City Council or the Board of Supervisors is required, you should begin that process now. Do not incur grant reimbursable costs yet, as this is a tentative award.
The OTS will initiate a statewide media news release regarding this year's applications selected for funding. Your agency should not publicly announce this tentative award until the grant agreement is fully negotiated and signed by the OTS.
Again, congratulations on the success of your application.
Sincerely,
Barbara L. Rooney
Director

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The City of Redlands downtown and west end commercial districts have and are currently expanding with new businesses, restaurants and alcohol serving establishments. The city of Redlands is also seeing an increase in residential building bringing more traffic and pedestrians. The Citrus Plaza / Mountain Grove shopping center is currently expanding and has a movie theater and eating establishments that serve alcohol. The Mountain Grove shopping complex also plays home to a summer concert series which bring in thousands of people to the shopping and eating establishments. All this growth has caused an increase in pedestrian traffic and roadway users in the City of Redlands.
The roadways in the city are being improved to relieve congestion and accommodate the high volume of travel by roadway users throughout the day and night. A commuter rail system is currently under construction and will be completed in 2022. When the commuter rail system does begin to serve the community, it will have a significant impact on the roadways and traffic congestion in the city. Highways such as Interstate 10, 210 and state highway 38 travel through Redlands providing connectors to multitude of other cities. The assistance of the STEP grant will allow officers to be deployed for additional traffic safety measures and enforcement. Additional training provided through the STEP grant, will also assist officers with investigations and arrest for driving under the influence.
In 2019 the Redlands Police Department investigated 627 injury traffic crashes and in 2020 we had 611 injury traffic crashes which is a decrease of 16. Our injury alcohol related traffic crashes went up from 80 in 2019 to 25 in 2020 and then back up to 93 in 2021. This significant decrease/increase is likely due to the statewide lock down and the closure of the bars and other drinking establishments during 2020, coupled with the opening of said establishments in 2021. In 2019 and 2020 we had zero fatal hit and run traffic crashes in 2021 that number went up by 1.
As we look at the past and local statistics, we can see the direct correlations to staffing levels and reduction in fatal crashes. To highlight this reduction, we look at our 2020 crash data (see Traffic Data Summary). In 2020 we were not able to complete all of the grant objectives as a result of the COVID 19 shutdown and had five (5) fatal traffic crashes. This contrasts with 2019 where we completed all the grant objectives. Although our fatal crashes in 2020 were up 1 from 2019, we had a decrease in our injury traffic crashes from 2019 to 2020. In 2020 we did not meet the grant objectives; however, this was due to the pandemic and state lock down, not any issues at our department. So, as you as you can see the funding and completing of grant objectives has given the Redlands Police Department the ability to reduce traffic crashes. Another factor in the reduction in fatal traffic crash is that in 2019 the Redlands Police Department was able to staff a full-time traffic unit staffed by a Motor/Traffic detective and a senior Motor/Traffic Investigator. The combination of completing the grant objectives and adding the traffic unit has shown to be effective in reducing the injury traffic crashes in the City of Redlands. The City of Redlands only funds two (2) officers in traffic and special events, therefore, grant funding remains of utmost importance and is likely a large factor in the recent decrease in fatal traffic crashes. The full-time traffic unit is making strides to reduce fatal traffic crashes but without help from grant funding we feel that many of our traffic crashes categories will once again rise.
We know that typically driving under the influence (DUI) is the highest during the holidays. Significant progress has been made in reducing DUI crashes by law enforcement but, DUI deaths have not dropped and continue to increase. It is going to take a coordinated effort between Law Enforcement, community- based-organizations, and media outreach to help combat this problem.
Several DUI suspects have made statements during DUI investigations and at checkpoints that they have purchased alcohol beverages at our local bars and restaurants. The City of Redlands has 203 active alcohol-licensed establishments of which 145 are “on-sale”. Continuing growth and development of the city will lead to an increase in the number of alcohol establishments in the city. Our downtown bars have a large number of calls involving intoxicated patrons, minors purchasing alcohol, and open container consumption in parking lot areas. Continuous inspections of the Alcohol-licensed establishments are key to Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22

7/8/2022 3:51:46 PM Page 4 of 16
keeping the locations in compliance. Having a “know your limit” program will ease the alcohol related events and DUI’s in the City of Redlands.
The Redlands Police Traffic Unit clearly needs to work to do more work to decrease injury crashes and offenses that cause injury crashes. The Redlands Police Department Traffic Units is working on serving the motoring public by increasing awareness and proactive enforcement. Grant funding will assist in meeting our goal to reduce the number of injury traffic crashes and increase traffic safety for the citizens of Redlands.

All training needed to implement the program should be conducted this quarter. All grant related purchases needed to implement the program should be made this quarter. In order to develop/maintain the “DUI BOLOs,” research will be conducted to identify the “worst of the worst” repeat DUI offenders with a suspended or revoked license as a result of DUI convictions. The Hot Sheets may include the driver’s name, last known address, DOB, description, current license status, and the number of times suspended or revoked for DUI. DUI BOLOs should be updated and distributed to traffic and patrol officers at least monthly. Implementation of the STEP grant activities will be accomplished by deploying personnel at high crash locations.
Media RequirementsIssue a press release approved by the OTS PIO announcing the kick-off of the grant by November 15, but no sooner than October 1. The kick-off release must be approved by the OTS PIO and only distributed after the grant is fully signed and executed. If you are unable to meet the November 15 deadline to issue a kick-off press release, communicate reasons to your OTS coordinator and OTS PIO.
B. Phase 2 – Program Operations (Throughout Grant Year) The department will work to create media opportunities throughout the grant period to call attention to the innovative program strategies and outcomes.
Media Requirements
The following requirements are for all grant-related activities:
Send all media advisories, alerts, videos, graphics, artwork, posters, radio/PSA/video scripts, storyboards, digital and/or print educational materials for grant-related activities to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy your OTS coordinator.

Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22
51 of 473
7/8/2022 3:51:46 PM Page 6 of 16
The OTS PIO is responsible for the approval of the design and content of materials. The agency understands OTS PIO approval is not authorizing approval of budget expenditure or cost. Any cost approvals must come from the Coordinator.
Pre-approval is not required when using any OTS-supplied template for media advisories, press releases, social media graphics, videos or posts, or any other OTS-supplied educational material.
However, copy the OTS PIO at [email protected] and your OTS coordinator when any material is distributed to the media and public, such as a press release, educational material, or link to social media post. The OTS-supplied kick-off press release templates and any kickoff press releases are an exception to this policy and require prior approval before distribution to the media and public.
If an OTS-supplied template, educational material, social media graphic, post or video is substantially changed, the changes shall be sent to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy to your OTS Coordinator. Optimum lead time would be 7 days prior to the scheduled release date, but at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date for review and approval is appreciated.
Press releases, social media posts and alerts on platforms such as NextDoor and Nixle reporting immediate and time-sensitive grant activities (e.g. enforcement operations, day of event highlights or announcements, event invites) are exempt from the OTS PIO approval process. The OTS PIO and your Coordinator should still be notified when the grant-related activity is happening (e.g. car seat checks, bicycle rodeos, community presentations, DUI checkpoints, etc.).
Enforcement activities such as warrant and probation sweeps, court stings, etc. that are embargoed or could impact operations by publicizing in advance are exempt from the PIO approval process. However, announcements and results of activities should still be copied to the OTS PIO at [email protected] and your Coordinator with embargoed date and time or with “INTERNAL ONLY: DO NOT RELEASE” message in subject line of email. Any earned or paid media campaigns for TV, radio, digital or social media that are part of a specific grant objective, using OTS grant funds, or designed and developed using contractual services by a subgrantee, requires prior approval. Please send to the OTS PIO at [email protected] for approval and copy your grant coordinator at least 3 business days prior to the scheduled release date.
Social media posts highlighting state or national traffic safety campaigns (Distracted Driving Month, Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, etc.), enforcement operations (DUI checkpoints, etc.), or any other grant-related activity such as Bicycle rodeos, presentations, or events, are highly encouraged but do not require prior approval.
Submit a draft or rough-cut of all digital, printed, recorded or video material (brochures, posters, scripts, artwork, trailer graphics, digital graphics, social posts connected to an earned or paid media campaign grant objective) to the OTS PIO at [email protected] and copy your OTS Coordinator for approval prior to the production or duplication. Use the following standard language in all press, media, and printed materials, space permitting:
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Space permitting, include the OTS logo on all grant-funded print materials, graphics and paid or earned social media campaign grant objective; consult your OTS Coordinator for specifics, format-appropriate logos, or if space does not permit the use of the OTS logo. Email the OTS PIO at [email protected] and copy your OTS Coordinator at least 21 days in advance, or when first confirmed, a short description of any significant grant-related traffic safety event or program, particularly events that are highly publicized beforehand with anticipated media coverage so OTS has sufficient notice to arrange for attendance and/or participation in the event.

3. Development of the Property
3.1 Rights to Develop. Subject to the limitations of this Agreement, including the Reservations of Authority, OWNER shall have the vested right to develop the Property in accordance with, and to the extent of, the Development Plan. The Project shall remain subject t o all Subsequent Development Approvals required to complete the Project as contemplated by the Development Plan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions for reservation and dedication of land for public purposes shall be those set forth in the Development Plan. OWNER shall comply with all mitigation measures required to be undertaken pursuant to any document prepared in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act with respect to the Project.
3.2 Effect of Agreement on Land Use Regulations; Development Exactions. (A) Except as otherwise provided under the terms of this Agreement, including the Reservations of Authority, the ordinances, rules, regulations, and official policies governing permitted uses of the Property, the density and intensity of use of the Property, the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and the design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to the Development of the Property shall be the Existing Land Use Regulations. In connection with any Subsequent Development Approval, CITY shall exercise its Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22

discretion in accordance with the Development Plan and this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Reservations of Authority. CITY shall accept for processing, review, and action all applications for Subsequent Development Approvals and such applications shall be processed in the normal manner for processing such matters.
(B) Unless otherwise permitted by the Reservations of Authority, CITY may not impose any Development Exaction on the Project, including in connection with the Subsequent Development Approvals, that is inconsistent with the Development Plan, the MMRP, or this Agreement.
3.3 Timing of Development . The Parties acknowledge that OWNER cannot at this time predict when or the rate at which phases of the Property will be developed. Such decisions depend upon numerous factors which are not within the control of OWNER, such as market orientation and demand, interest rates, absorption, completion and other similar factors. Since the California Supreme Court held in Pardee Construction Co. v. City of Camarillo, (1984) 37 Cal.3d 465, that the failure of the Parties therein to provide for the timing of development resulted in a later adopted initiative restricting the timing of development to prevail over such Parties’ agreement, it is CITY’S and OWNER’S intent to cure that deficiency by acknowledging and providing that OWNER shall have the right to develop the Property in such order and at such rate and at such times as OWNER deems appropriate within the exercise of its subjective business judgment, subject only to any timing or phasing requirements set forth in the Development Plan.
3.4 Development Phasing. The Development of the Property is subject to any timing and phasing requirements established by and set forth in the Development Plan.
3.5 Changes and Amendments.
(A) The Parties acknowledge that refinement and further development of the Project may demonstrate that changes are appropriate and mutually desirable in the Existing Development Approvals. If OWNER finds that a change in the Existing Development Approvals is necessary or appropriate, OWNER may apply for a Subsequent Development Approval to effectuate such change and CITY shall process and act on such application in accordance with the Existing Land Use Regulations, except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, including the Reservations of Authority. If approved, any such change in the Existing Development Approvals shall be incorporated herein as an addendum to Exhibit C and may be further changed from time to time as provided in this Section 3.5.
(B) Unless otherwise required by law, as determined in CITY’S reasonable discretion, a change to the Existing Development Approvals shall be deemed “minor” and may be approved by the City Manager or City Manager’s designee and not require an amendment to this Agreement provided the change does not:
(1) Materially increase the density or intensity of use of the Property as a whole;
(2) Materially increase the square footage of buildings, as long as the maximum height of permitted buildings is not increased; Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22

(3) Materially alter a requirement for the rese rvation or dedication of land for public purposes; or,
(4) Modify the Project to the extent a subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report pursuant to Section 21166 of the Public Resources Code is required.
For purposes of this Section 3.5(B), materially” shall mean in excess of five percent (5%) of the referenced development parameter.
3.6 Reservations of Authority.
(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following Subsequent Land Use Regulations shall apply to the Development of the Property:
(1) Processing fees and charges of every kind and nature imposed by CITY to cover the actual costs to CITY of processing applications for Development Approvals or for monitoring compliance with any Development Approvals granted or issued. (2) Procedural regulations relating to hearing bodies, petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals, and any other matter of procedure.
(3) Regulations governing construction standards and specifications applicable to public and private improvements or affecting health and safety including, without limitation, the CITY’S Building Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, and Fire Code.
(4) Regulations imposing Development Exactions; provided however, that no such subsequent adopted Development Exaction shall be applicable to development of the Property unless such Development Exaction is applied uniformly to development, either throughout the CITY or within a defined area of benefit which includes the Property. No such subsequently adopted Development Exaction shall apply to completed improvements with respect to which the owner has vested rights or if its application to the Property would physically prevent development of the Property for the uses and to the density or intensity of development set forth in the Development Plan. In the event such subsequently adopted Development Exaction fulfills the same purposes, in whole or in part, as the fees set forth in Section 4.2 of this Agreement, CITY shall allow a credit against such subsequently adopted Development Exaction for the fees paid under Section 4.2 of this Agreement to the extent such fees fulfil l the same purposes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, CITY shall have the right to lower or increase Development Impact Fees from time to time, in its sole discretion, and any and all revised Development Impact Fees shall be applicable to the Project at the time they are due for payment.
(5) Regulations which may be in conflict with the Development Plan but which are uniformly applied by CITY to similar uses and reasonably necessary to eliminate or mitigate a serious and immediate threat to public health or safety. To the extent possible, any such regulations shall use the least restrictive means of accomplishing the identified health and safety Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22

concern, and be applied and construed so as to provide OWNER with the rights and assurances provided under this Agreement.
(6) Regulations which do not conflict with the Development Plan. As one example, any regulation, whether adopted by initiative or otherwise, limiting the rate or timing of the Development of the Property shall be deemed to conflict with the Development Plan and shall, therefore, not be applicable to the Development of the Property. (7) Regulations which conflict with the Development Plan if OWNER has given written consent to the application of such regulations to the Development of the Property. (8) Regulations that impose, levy, alter or amend fees, or Land Use Regulations relating to future services (but not infrastructure or improvements funded by other Development Exactions ), including, without limitation, trash can placement, service charges and limitations on vehicle parking.
(9) Regulations of other public agencies, including Development Impact Fees adopted or imposed by such other public agencies, although collected by CITY. (B) This Agreement shall not prevent CITY, in acting on Subsequent Development Approvals, from applying Subsequent Land Use Regulations which do not conflict with the Development Plan, nor shall this Agreement prevent CITY from denying or conditionally approving any Subsequent Development Approval on the basis of the Existing Land Use Regulations or on the basis of any Subsequent Land Use Regulation not in conflict with the Development Plan. For all purposes of this Agreement generally, and this Section 3.6 specifically, Land Use Regulations will be deemed to conflict with the Development Plan and this Agreement if the Land Use Regulations seek to, whether as part of a specific or general enactment that applies to the Property or Project: (i) limit or reduce the density, intensity, height or size of structures, or modify the type of Development, on the Property; (ii) regulate the timin g or sequencing of the Development of the Property in any manner; (iii) require any additional on- site or off- site improvements not required by the Development Plan to be constructed or paid for by OWNER or a subsequent owner of the Property; (iv) materially increase the costs of the Development or materially reduce the value of the Property; or (v) restrict or modify the use of the Property in any manner or degree other than as set forth in the Development Plan. The permitted uses for development of the Project and rights granted hereunder are specified in Redlands Municipal Code Section 18.92 (C -3 General Commercial District) and the Specific Plan, and are incorporated herein by this reference.
(C) In the event that State or Federal laws or regulations enacted after the Effective Date of this Agreement prevent or preclude compliance with one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, such provisions of this Agreement shall be modified or suspended as may be necessary to comply with such State or Federal laws or regulations; provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent it is not inconsistent with such laws or regulations and to the extent such laws or regulations do not render such remaining provisions impractical to enforce.

(D) The Parties acknowledge and agree that CITY is restricted in its authority to limit its police power by contract and that the foregoing limitations, reservations and exceptions are intended to reserve to CITY all of its police power which cannot be so limited. The CITY reserves all such power and authority which cannot be restricted by contract or is not restricted by vested rights as otherwise established under applicable law.
3.7 Public Works. If OWNER is required by this Agreement to construct any public works facilities which will be dedicated to CITY or any other public agency upon completion, then OWNER shall, if required by applicable laws to do so, perform such work in the same manner and subject to the same requirements as would be applicable to CITY or such other public agency should it have undertaken such construction.
3.8 [Intentionally Deleted]
3.9 Regulation by Other Public Agencies . It is acknowledged by the Parties that other public agencies not within the control of CITY possess authority to regulate aspects of the development of the Property separately from or jointly with CITY and this Agreement does not limit the authority of such other public agencies.
3.10 Tentative Subdivision Map Extension. In accord with Section 66452.6 of the Government Code, every tentative parcel and subdivision map approved in connection with Development of the Property will be valid for a period equal to the longer of: (1) the remaining period of the Term of this Agreement as of the time of tentative map approval; and (2) the longest period authorized by the Subdivision Map Act, City Municipal Code, or other applicable law as of the time of tentative map approval.
3.11 Vesting Tentative Maps. If any tentative or final subdivision map, or tentative or final parcel map, heretofore or hereafter approved in connection with development of the Property, is a vesting map under the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.) and if this Agreement is determined by a final judgment to be invalid or unenforceable insofar as it grants a vested right to develop to OWNER, then and to that extent the rights and protections afforded OWNER under the laws and ordinances applicable to vesting maps shall supersede the provisions of this Agreement. Likewise OWNER’S vested development rights under applicable law shall not be affected by the total or partial invalidation of this Agreement . Except as set forth above, the Development of the Property shall occur only as provided in this Agreement and the provisions in this Agreement shall be controlling over any conflicting provision of law or ordinance concerning vesting maps.
3.12 Utilities. The Project shall be connected to all utilities nec essary to provide adequate water, sewer, gas, electric, and other utility service to the Project. OWNER shall contract with CITY for CITY -owned or operated utilities serving the Project for such prices and on such terms as may be mutually agreed to between the Parties.
3.13 Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions . OWNER shall have the ability to reserve and record such covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) against the Property as OWNER deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion. Such CC&Rs may not conflict with this Agreement or the General Plan. Before recording any CC&Rs, OWNER shall provide a Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22

06/17/22
GNW\ 30726-0020\ 758683.5 5/19/2022 16
copy of the CC&Rs to CITY for review and approval by the City Attorney. The City Attorney’s review shall be limited to determining if the CC&Rs substantially comply with this Agreement.
Within thirty (30) days after receiving a copy of the proposed CC&Rs from OWNER, the City Attorney shall provide OWNER with either (i) a statement that the CC&Rs comply with this Agreement (“CC&R Approval”) or (ii) written comments identifying each aspect of the CC&Rs which the City Attorney believes not to be in compliance with this Agreement (a “ Statement of Non-Compliance”). If the City Attorney fails to provide OWNER with either CC&R Approval or a Statement of Non-Compliance within thirty (30) days following a written request by OWNER, CITY shall be deemed to have approved the CC&Rs and OWNER may record the CC&Rs against the Property. If the City Attorney provides a Statement of Non-Compliance, OWNER shall have thirty (30) days in which to respond to the Statement of Non -Compliance. Upon submittal of OWNER’S response, the procedure described above for the initial submittal and City Attorney review of proposed CC&Rs shall again be followed. This procedure shall be followed until OWNER either (1) receives CC&R Approval, (2) files an action for declaratory relief in San Bernardino County Superior Court seeking a judicial determination of the compliance of the proposed CC&Rs, or (4) agreement is otherwise reached between the Parties allowing for the recording of the CC&Rs. The CC&Rs may run with the land and bind OWNER’S successors and assigns.
3.14 Specific CITY Actions.
(A) At the cost and expense of OWNER, CITY shall reprogram and modify existing State Street/Orange Street traffic signal to efficiently incorporate the needs of the Project.
Any new traffic signal and related improvements shall be installed by and at the cost and expense of OWNER.

I move to waive further reading of Ordinance No. 2933 and to introduce Ordinance No. 2933 for the approval of Development Agreement No. 25 for the State Street Village mixed use project.
RECOMMENDATION:
On June 14, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the proposal.
The Commission discussed the purpose of the proposed term of the Development Agreement (15 years), when construction was expected to begin, phasing of the project, and the status of the one remaining tenant (CVS Pharmacy). The Commission voted 7 to 0 recommending that the City Council approve Development Agreement No. 25 for the State Street Village mixed use development project.
DISCUSSION:
A) Background
On May 10, 2022, the City Council unanimously approved various entitlements for the “State Street Village” mixed use development project for redevelopment of the Redlands Mall site (see Attachment B – Site Plan, and Attachment C – Approval Resolutions). The mixed use project will include residential and commercial uses within five new multi-tenant buildings, to include the following:
Construct five mixed-use buildings up to four (4) stories high; Construct 700 multifamily dwelling units (apartments and condominiums); Construct up to 71,778 square-feet of commercial floor area on ground floors to include retail and restaurant uses, as well as a rooftop restaurant; Construct up to 12,328 square-feet of office space on upper floors; Construct an approximately 6,000 square-foot recreational amenity building including pool, and other private courtyards for residents;
Pedestrian central plaza totaling approximately 22,742 square-feet; Construct a five-level above-ground parking structure within Building 2, and two subterranean parking garages under Buildings 1, 3, 4-A, and 4-B; Construct public and private open space areas to include landscaping, shade trees, street trees, and pedestrian improvements; and
Construct related site improvements to include sidewalks, driveways, landscape, lighting and street lights, storm drains, flood prevention features, and public and private utility connections.
In addition, one new single-tenant retail building totaling 14,500 square-feet (with one drive- through window for a pharmacy) and a new surface parking lot with 61 spaces would be constructed on the south side of West Citrus Avenue between Eureka and Fourth Streets.
On May 10, 2022, the City Council also adopted an Initial Study and Sustainable Communities Environmental Assessment document for the project, in accordance with all applicable Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22

https://destinyhosted.com/print_ag_memo.cfm?seq=4170&rev_num=0&mode=External&reloaded=true&id=73352 3/8 requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
B) California Government Code
In the enabling legislation for Development Agreements, found in California Government Code section 65864 et.seq., the Legislature found and declared that: (a) The lack of certainty in the approval of development projects can result in a waste of resources, escalate the cost of housing and other development to the consumer, and discourage investment in and commitment to comprehensive planning which would make maximum efficient utilization of resources at the least economic cost to the public; and (b) Assurance to the applicant for a development project that upon approval of the project, the applicant may proceed with the project in accordance with existing policies, rules and regulations, and subject to conditions of approval, will strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic costs of development.
C) Redlands Municipal Code
The proposed Development Agreement is a legislative act and must be enacted by ordinance after a public hearing before the City Council. Before the City Council may approve a development agreement, it must find that its provisions are consistent with the General Plan.
Development agreements may specify development standards that are unique or more restrictive than the city’s normal development standards, or otherwise vary from the city’s normal development standards and improvement requirements that would be applicable to development projects. RMC section 18.220.240 states the effect of a development agreement on an approved project:
“When approved, a development agreement and any development control maps and all notations, references and regulations which are a part of the development agreement shall be considered part of this code. Development control maps include, but are not limited to, regulations intended to carry out any plan respecting location or type of activities; height, bulk, siding or design of structures; location or design of open areas; and landscaping and other comparable regulations. In the case of any conflict with any other provisions of this code, such development agreement provisions shall take precedence. Unless otherwise provided by the development agreement, the city's rules, regulations and official policies governing permitted uses of the land, density and design, improvement and construction standards and specifications applicable to development of the property subject to a development agreement shall be those city rules, regulations and official policies in force at the time of the approval of the development agreement by the city council.”
To approve a Development Agreement, six findings must be made as required by RMC Chapter
18.220 (Development Agreements) in Section 18.220.100. The proposed findings for approval are included in the attached Resolution.
D) Proposed Development Agreement
As currently proposed, the key provisions of the Development Agreement include the following terms and conditions.

https://destinyhosted.com/print_ag_memo.cfm?seq=4170&rev_num=0&mode=External&reloaded=true&id=73352 4/8 Requires Developer to begin construction within five (5) years of the approval date.
Total term of fifteen (15) years, which secures the approval and right to build the approved project for longer than the typical two years (plus an additional three years with extensions) for development project entitlements. The term of 15 years aligns with the long-term lease currently held by CVS Pharmacy (the sole remaining tenant within the Mall site).
Re-establishing State Street and Third Street through the project site resembling the historic grid street pattern that existed prior to Mall construction.
Provides limited public easements over the public plaza area and pedestrian paseos, for purposes of travel through and use in such areas.
City will issue permits for up to 24 events each year to be held within the public plaza area of the project.
Allows City to utilize the public plaza area for up to 12 days in any calendar year for any public or private events, if not in conflict with any other previously-scheduled private events by the property owner.
The current categories of Development Impact Fees (DIF) presently in effect will be applicable to the proposed project, and no new categories would be applicable (should any new categories of Development Impact Fees be created in the future).
Allows for the fee amounts of Development Impact Fees (DIF) to increase over time, as is the current practice (i.e., City Council updates the fees from time to time).
Allow for Development Impact Fees (DIF) credits based on the amount of existing structure floor area to be demolished.
Requires unbundling of parking from residential units (i.e., separate rental fees for parking and living space) to encourage reduction of motor vehicle trips.
Locks the land use and zoning regulations currently in effect to be applicable to the proposed project, and assures that future adoption of the Transit Villages Specific Plan will be applicable to the project site (e.g., types of permitted uses).
E) General Plan
The project site is within the ‘Commercial’ land use category of the General Plan. A primary strategy of the 2035 General Plan is to encourage more transit-oriented development in close proximity to the three train stations in the core areas of Redlands, rather than continuing the pattern of subdivisions and sprawling development around the periphery of the city. This strategy is referred to as the “Transit Village Concept” in Chapter 4, Livable Community. The Transit Village Concept emphasizes mixing of land uses (such as residential with retail, restaurant, office, and similar commercial uses) and higher density/intensity of uses around the train stations for the intended purposes of supporting transit use, enhancing walkability and pedestrian orientation around the station areas, and discouraging use of automobiles within the pedestrian-friendly station areas and downtown.
The concept for the State Street Village project, that of a mixed use project with pedestrian- friendly design, is consistent with many Policies and Actions contained in the 2035 General Plan which envisions compact and infill development around the three train stations in Redlands. See Attachment D for a list of applicable General Plan policies. Several key policies are listed below, all of which will be implemented by the proposed Development Agreement.
2-P .25: Encourage a variety of uses and activities, such as a mix of commercial, office, restaurant, specialty retail, and residential uses, and civic, cultural, and entertainment activities Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22

2-A.96: Promote redevelopment of the Redlands Mall with a vibrant mix of uses. Explore feasibility of re-extending the traditional street grid through the new development.
2-A.97: Seek an increased presence of both residents and activity in Downtown with new development – particularly residential as part of mixed-use development – as well as commercial, entertainment, and cultural uses that serve both residents and visitors.
2-A.98: Promote a variety of housing types to attract a spectrum of households to live Downtown.
3-A.10: Encourage mixed-use projects within the Transit Villages that will attract a wide array of uses including retail, restaurant, entertainment, office, residential, and cultural offerings.
3-A.36: Support revitalization of underutilized commercial space throughout Downtown, including the Redlands Mall, which could create new opportunities for businesses and residents, and provide a critical link to rail.
3-A.39: Encourage and support the development of additional housing Downtown to increase the vitality and diversity of Downtown retail and services.
4-P .9: Locate medium- and high-density development near regional access routes, transit stations, employment centers, shopping areas, and public services.
4-P .13: Encourage mixed-use development (two or more uses within the same building or in close proximity on the same site) in Downtown, the Transit Villages, and along Redlands Boulevard to promote vibrancy.
4-A.12: Support new residential development in Downtown, the Transit Villages, and other focused infill sites accessible to transit and in central parts of the community.
4-A.87: Promote clusters of mixed-use development along Redlands Boulevard near the Mixed Use Cores of the proposed Transit Villages, providing opportunities for commercial, office, and residential development consistent with the needs and characteristics specific to each Transit Village.
4-P .42: Provide for new jobs, housing, and entertainment opportunities in compact, walkable environments.
7-A.73: Improve the sense of safety within Downtown, including the Redlands Mall area.
F) Zoning
The project site is within the General Commercial (C-3) zoning district. The State Street Village project will be consistent with the applicable land uses and development standards for the C-3 zone, as explained in the prior staff report prepared for the project.

City Council/Successor Agency Meeting I. 9.
DATE: 09/06/2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve Resolution No. 8376 relating to Pre-Annexation Agreement No.22-01 for the provision of water service to a vacant lot for irrigation purposes located at 2371 Naples Avenue (APN:
0298-301-33-0000) and determine that approval of this Resolution is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Sections 15319 and 15303(d) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act (Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff's recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve Resolution No. 8376.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 8376 to approve Pre-Annexation No. 22-01 for the provision of water service to a 7,920 square-foot parcel located at 2371 Naples Avenue in the unincorporated community of Mentone, and determine that approval of Resolution No. 8376 is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Sections 15319 and 15303of the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines.
DISCUSSION:
A) Background
The project is located at 2371 Naples Avenue in the unincorporated community of Mentone on a vacant 7,920 square-foot lot (Attachments A and B). The site is located in the County of San Bernardino and the County would be the approval authority for any future construction on this parcel, due to the site's location Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22
128 of 473
authority for any future construction on this parcel, due to the site's location outside of the City limits. The County does not provide domestic water services to the site, and the City of Redlands has the ability to provide water services to unincorporated areas surrounding the City. On June 7, 2022 the City Council authorized staff to proceed with preparation of a Pre-Annexation Agreement for the subject property (Attachment C). The applicant is proposing to connect to City water services to enable irrigation of proposed landscaping on this parcel. This request for a Pre-Annexation Agreement is necessary for the property owner to obtain City water service.
B) General Plan Consistency
The subject property has a lot area of approximately 7,920 square feet, and a General Plan land use designation of Low Density Residential, which allows up to six units per acre. The applicant is not proposing any construction at this time.
The current request for a water meter is to establish landscaping on the property. Although the applicant has expressed a possible interest in developing a single-family residence on the property in the future, there are no plans available at this time. In the event that the applicant was to develop the property with a home in the future, the project would remain consistent with the General Plan’s land use designation as Low Density Residential. In the event that the property is annexed into the City, the property would most appropriately be zoned Single-Family Residential (R-1) under the City’s zoning code. The proposed landscaping and possible development of the site with a single-family residential use is permitted in the R-1 District.
C) Environmental Review
The “project” before the City for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is the decision by the City Council to enter into a Pre-Annexation Agreement with the property owner for a parcel located outside the City. This will enable the provision of City domestic water service making it possible for the property owner to establish landscaping on the site and possibly develop the site with a single family residence in the future. This type of application is exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15319 (Annexations of Existing Facilities and Lots for Exempt Facilities) and Section 15303 (New Construction of Small Structures), which exempts construction of a single family residence and extensions of water mains of a reasonable length to support the construction of a single-family residence. There is no possibility of any significant environmental effects as a result of the Pre-Annexation Agreement.

SUBJECT: Approve Resolution No. 8334 for a new connection to the City of Redlands water distribution system at 2371 Naples Avenue, Outside City Case No. 22-01, and determine that the Resolution is exempt from environmental review pursuant to Sections 15303(a) and 15319(b) of the State’s guidelines implementing the California Environment Quality Act (Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director Harris)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve Resolution No. 8334.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approval of Resolution No. 8334.
DISCUSSION:
Staff recently received a water connection application for the property located at 2371 Naples Avenue (APN 0298-301-33-0000), which is a vacant parcel located approximately 1.8 miles east and 0.15 miles south of the Redlands city limits in the Mentone area. The Redlands Municipal Code (RMC) requires the Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department (MUED) Director and Development Services Department (DSD) Director to present completed applications for utility connections outside the city limits to City Council to determine if approval is in the best interests of the citizens of Redlands, and to provide direction to staff regarding the preparation of pre-annexation agreements.
Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22
134 of 473
The following items were reviewed and deemed complete by the MUED and DSD Directors:
Application for availability for an OSC water connection;1.
Application for environmental review and a pre-annexation agreement; 2.
OSC 22-01 is a small project including one (1) lot proposed for future construction of a single-family residential development (see Attachment A-1).
The applicant proposes to only use water for irrigation purposes until a single family residence is constructed at an undetermined time in the future. Currently, twenty-five (25) residential unit water and sewer connections are available for small projects. In accordance with State law, utility services may be extended beyond the City limits at the discretion of the City. The RMC establishes the following criteria for the City Council to consider when making such determinations:
The relationship of the property and its proposed use to the City’s General Plan and zoning ordinances;
1. The relationship of the property and its proposed use to the City’s Water Master Plan, and the City’s
Water Capital Improvement Programs;
2. The proximity of the property to the City’s boundaries and existing utility infrastructure;
3. The proposed potential for new revenue sources for the City to pay for City services provided to the project as a result of annexation and development of the property; and,
4. The standards proposed for development of the property.5.
Approval of OSC 22-01 allows the applicant to physically connect to the water system.
Consistency with the General Plan:
The subject property is located in the Low Density land use designation of the General Plan, which supports residential uses such as single-family homes. The property is approximately 0.17 acres and currently undeveloped. The eventual use of this parcel is consistent with the City of Redlands General Plan.
Environmental Review:
The approval Resolution No. 8334 is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review in accordance with Section 15303(a) (Conversions of Small Structures) and Section 15319(b) (Annexations of Existing Facilities and Lots for Exempt Facilities) of the CEQA Guidelines. Section 15303(a) exempts conversions of small structures, including a single-family residence. Additionally, Section 15319(b) exempts the annexation of lots for exempt facilities such as those included in Section 15303.

DISCUSSION OF SUBSECTION H. CRITERIA – RMC 13.060.050 H
(H.1.) Relationship of the property and its proposed use to the city’s General Plan and zoning ordinances.
The City of Redlands General Plan Land Use Map shows the subject property designated as ‘Low Density Residential’ (defined as 2.7 – 6.0 dwelling units per gross acre). The subject property was formed under the jurisdiction of San Bernardino County and currently exists as a legal lot of record. The subject property is currently vacant and will be developed with a single-family residence in the future. The property has a lot size approximately 7,511 square feet in size and is physically suitable for the proposed use.
In the event that this property and surrounding properties were to be annexed in the future, the subject property would likely be zoned Single Family Residential (R-1) which is consistent with the City’s General Plan designation of Low Density Residential. At that time, all future development or subdivision within the area would then be required to be consistent with the R-1 zoning and Low Density General Plan designation.
(H.2.) Relationship of the property and its proposed use to the City’s Water Master Plans, and the City’s Water Capital Improvement Programs:
The 1998 Water Master Plan included the area of the property in their service area study, and the incremental demand was included in sizing the existing sewer mains that serve the area. There is a current water CIP (Capital Improvement Program) project to increase the size of the existing water main in Naples Avenue from a 4” main constructed in 1950 to an 8” main.
(H.3.) Proximity of the property to the city’s boundaries and existing utility infrastructure:
The project is within the city’s Sphere of Influence as defi ned by LAFCO. The project is located approximately 1.80 miles east and 0.15 miles south of the Redlands city limits.
The project is subject to meeting utilities development requirements. The development requirements for water infrastructure are contained within this staff report.
(H.4.) The Proposed Potential for New Revenue Sources for the city to Pay for City Services Provided to the Project as a Result of Annexation and Development of the Property:
Staff has examined two factors of potential revenue to the city given the provision that the project is annexed into the city and the site is developed.
POTENTIAL REVENUE FROM DEVELOPMENT
If the property were annexed into the city with the proposed development of the site, the following is an estimate of revenues per unit that are in excess of utility impact fee revenue:
Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22
139 of 473
OSC 22-01
PROJECT DETAILS
• Water Capital Improvement and Water Source, both of which are assessed on a per unit basis at the time of setting the water service meter, will be paid at the current development impact fee schedule.
(H.5.) The Proposed Standards for Development of the Property:
The subject property is currently vacant and will ultimately be developed with a single-family residential dwelling. The current proposal is for only irrigation purposes. The proposed residential development is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map and the suggested R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district.
Should this property be annexed in the future, it is likely that the property would be zoned Single Family Residential Estate (R -1) for consistency with the City’s General Plan. The standards for the R -1 District are outlined in the table below. The proposed residential development appears to be consistent with the City development standards.

The proposed development of the project site is currently for irrigation of the lot in preparation of a future development as a single family residence.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBJECT: Approve the Second Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Michael Baker International to increase the original agreement from $149,990 by $150,000 to a total aggregate of $299,990 for professional planning, environmental, and
development review services (Development Services Director Desatnik)
MOTION(S):
If the City Council determines that the staff’s recommendation is appropriate, the following motion is provided:
I move to approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Michael Baker International for a total amount of $299,990.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement with Michael Baker International for professional planning, environmental, and development review services for a total amount of $299,990.
DISCUSSION:
On March 29, 2022, an agreement in the amount of $49,990 was approved by the City Manager to allow the department to continue to provide timely development review and other planning services to customers due to several vacancies in the Planning Division (Department), as well as address an influx of new projects. On July 5, 2022, the First Amendment was approved by the City Council for an additional $100,000 to allow the Department to continue to maintain the same level of service.
The Department continues to actively recruit to fill multiple vacancies that exist in the Planning Division and will continue to need professional services provided by Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22

the Planning Division and will continue to need professional services provided by Michael Baker International to keep up with customer demand. Approval of this Second Amendment will allow the Department to continue to provide development review services to its customers as the recruitment process continues to fill multiple vacancies.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may elect not to approve the Second Amendment to the Agreement. If the amendment is not approved, it would impact the timeliness of development project review for customers.

Approval of this Second Amendment to the Agreement requires additional appropriation from the General Fund to meet the needs of the Development Services Department Planning Division. This Second Amendment will increase Purchase Order No. 22211967 from $149,990 by $150,000 to an aggregate total not-to-exceed $299,990 with Michael Baker International. This spending is likely to be offset with salary savings within the department, and if not, the source of funds would be the ending unassigned fund balance in the General Fund. The estimated fund balance is $21.4 million at June 30, 2022.

194 of 473
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council find approval of these price increases, the appropriation of additional funds, and the authorization of Municipal Utilities and Engineering Director, John R. Harris to approve additional chemical price increases as needed, not to exceed 20% are exempt from environmental review under section 15061(b)(3) of the State's guidelines implementing the California Environmental Quality Act, approve price increases for water and wastewater treatment plant chemicals, and appropriate additional funds to purchase these chemicals as follows:
Water Fund 501900
JCI Jones Chemicals Incorporated (Chlorine Gas) -
Current Price = $1,700.00/Ton
New Price = $1,975.00/Ton
Requires an additional appropriation of $25,000.00, which increases this item in the purchase order to $65,000.00
Olin (12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite)
Current Price = $1.489/gallon
New Price = $1.493/gallon (includes Superfund Excise Tax) This item does not require additional appropriation.
Wastewater Fund 521900
Olin (12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite)
Current Price = $1.489/gallon
New Price = $1.493/gallon (includes Superfund Excise Tax) This item does not require additional appropriation.
DISCUSSION:
The Fiscal Year 22/23 Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department budget includes funding for the purchase of water and wastewater treatment process chemicals based on competitively obtained unit prices. Recently, City Council approved annual purchase orders with the following chemical vendors:
Water Production:
Jones Chemicals Incorporated - Chlorine Gas
Olin - 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite
Regular Redlands meeting of 09-06-22
195 of 473
Wastewater Treatment
Olin - 12.5% Sodium Hypochlorite
Each of the vendors notified City staff that unit price increases are necessary, unavoidable, and out of their control. Notice letters declaring price increases from each vendor supporting these unit price increases are attached. Staff is aware of the nationwide shortage of water and wastewater treatment process chemicals, and have been repeatedly contacted by the California State Water Resources Control Board to ensure the City of Redlands has adequate chemical supplies to support treatment operations.
Considering the significant supply chain interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, staff agrees that these unit price increases are unavoidable and fair.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council may deny the staff recommendations. However, this would significantly impact water and wastewater treatment operations by limiting our ability to obtain chemicals.

Dear Customer:
Effective immediately, or as permissible by contract, Westlake is announcing a price increase for Chlorine (sold independently or as part of an ECU) by US$ 275 per short ton in the United States, and C$ 375 per metric ton in Canada. This increase is necessitated by a tight supply/demand balance of chlorine and chlorine derivatives.
Standard lead time for all chlorine rail shipments is 21 days. Westlake’s order management protocol remains in effect.
If you have any questions regarding this price change, please contact your sales professional.
Westlake values the opportunity to supply your Chlorine requirements, and will strive to earn your business every day.
Sincerely,
David Kokowsky
