TITLE
ADOPT BY TITLE ONLY ORDINANCE NO. 3313-26 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING TITLE 3, CHAPTER 6, SECTION 3-

6.03 OF THE REDONDO BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO PARKING METER HOURLY RATES. FOR SECOND READING AND ADOPTION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As part of the FY 2026-27 Adopted Budget on June 16, 2026, the City Council approved an increase to the parking meter hourly rates from $2.00/hour to $2.25/hour.

Hourly parking meter rates are codified in the Redondo Beach Municipal Code (RBMC). Approval of the proposed ordinance allows for implementation of the adopted increase. The Ordinance was introduced at the City Council meeting on July 7, 2026, and is now being presented for second reading and adoption.

BACKGROUND
As part of the Adopted FY 2026-27 Budget, the City Council approved a $0.25 increase to the hourly parking meter rate, bringing the rate to $2.25/hour. This rate remains within the range of neighboring cities, as Hermosa and Manhattan Beach vary from $2.50 to $3.50 per hour depending on location and proximity to the beach.

The City’s parking meters are located in the Coastal Zone and adjustments must be consistent with Coastal Commission regulations, which limit parking rate increases to no more than 50% over a consecutive three-year period. The hourly rate in FY 2023-24 was $1.50, and has been raised by $0.25 each of the last two fiscal years. The proposed adjustment would bring the cumulative increase since FY 2023-24 to $0.75, and complies with the Coastal Commission’s 50% three-year limit.

Parking meter rates are codified in Section 3-6.03 of the RBMC. The proposed Ordinance captures the proposed meter rate increase, and, if adopted, the new rate of $2.25/hour will become effective in 30 days, on August 20, 2026.

COORDINATION
Preparation of the Ordinance was coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.

FISCAL IMPACT
Parking meters currently generate $3.7M in annual General Fund revenue ($3.4M from hourly payments and $331,500 from parking meter permits). The new hourly meter rate is projected to provide $401,081 of additional ongoing General Fund revenue.

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA ACKNOWLEDGING RECEIPT OF A

REPORT MADE BY THE FIRE CHIEF OF THE REDONDO BEACH FIRE DEPARTMENT PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 13146.4 REGARDING THE

ANNUAL INSPECTION OF CERTAIN OCCUPANCIES PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTIONS 13146.2 AND 13146.3

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Redondo Beach Fire Department recommends approval of the proposed Resolution formally accepting the state mandated annual fire inspection report, in compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 1205.

Accepting the compliance report fulfills the statutory requirements in California Health and Safety Code Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3. On September 27, 2018, the Governor of the State of California signed SB 1205, which mandates that every city or county fire department, or fire district, report annually to its administering authority on its compliance with Health and Safety Code, Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3. The bill states that the report shall occur when the administering authority discusses its annual budget, or at another time determined by the administering authority.

BACKGROUND
The California State Fire Marshal mandates that certain types of occupancies be inspected annually.

These required inspections include schools, hotels, motels, lodging houses, and apartment buildings.

This requirement is listed in California Health and Safety Code Sections 13146.2 and 13146.3. The annual fire inspections aim to mitigate known hazards, reduce risk to the community, and ensure compliance with the California Fire Code. The Redondo Beach Fire Department performs the mandated inspections, as well as inspections of local businesses, as part of the Department’s annual inspection program.

California Health and Safety Code Sections 13146.2 mandates that the local fire department or district inspect all apartments, hotels, and motels annually. The Redondo Beach Fire Department inspected 1964 of 1969 apartment/condominium complexes, hotels, motels, and lodging houses during the 2025 calendar year, yielding a completion rate of 99.7% for 2025. California Health and Safety Code Section 13146.3 mandates that the local fire department or district inspect all public and private schools once annually. The Redondo Beach Fire Department completed inspections on 24 of 24 school facilities in 2025, yielding a completion rate of 100% for 2025.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The FY 2026-27 Approved Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget includes funding for Project #31020, Regional Park Walkway Lighting Replacement. Public Works recommends replacing 20 light poles and fixtures at Veterans Park that have reached the end of their useful life.

To maintain consistency with the adjacent Pier area's lighting design, Public Works recommends purchasing the Veterans Park light poles and fixtures from the same vendor to ensure a matching product. The material information sheet for the light poles and fixtures is attached. If approved, Public Works Operations crews will install the new light poles and fixtures.

COORDINATION
This item was coordinated with the Public Works Department and the Financial Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT

TITLE

APPROVE A TRANSIT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF MANHATTAN BEACH FOR THE OPERATION OF BEACH CITIES TRANSIT LINE 109 FOR A ONE-YEAR PERIOD, BEGINNING JULY 1, 2026 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2027, FOR A FEE OF $29,125 ADOPT BY 4/5THS VOTE AND TITLE ONLY RESOLUTION NO. CC-2607-055, A RESOLUTION

OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING A FISCAL YEAR 2026-27 BUDGET MODIFICATION TO ALLOCATE $29,125 FROM THE CITY OF MANHATTAN BEACH FOR BEACH CITIES TRANSIT LINE 109 COST SHARING TO THE CITY’S

TRANSIT FUND

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Transit Services Division provides regional bus service through Beach Cities Transit (BCT) Line 109, connecting several cities from Redondo Beach to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). To support the operational costs of the line, which runs through Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and El Segundo, the City maintains agreements with each BCT Partner City.

During the pandemic, COVID-19 relief funds provided sufficient supplemental funding to maintain Line 109 service without requiring contributions from the BCT Partner Cities. With those funds no longer available, cost-sharing resumed in FY 2025-26 and continues into FY 2026-27. The City of Manhattan Beach has approved a one-year funding agreement totaling $29,125. Staff recommends City Council approve the proposed Agreement with the City of Manhattan Beach to maintain Line 109 operations and adopt the associated Resolution appropriating the funding in the BCT Line 109 related Transit Fund.

BACKGROUND
The Transit Division of the Community Services Department provides a variety of transit services to the City of Redondo Beach as well as neighboring cities. BCT Line 109, the longest route within the BCT system, runs from Riviera Village to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, serving Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, El Segundo, and LAX. In 2006, the City of Redondo Beach executed Transit Service Operation Agreements with the BCT Partner Cities to offset the cost of operating BCT Line 109. This supplemental funding helps ensure continuity of service and supports operating expenses incurred by the transit operations contractor, fuel costs, and Real-Time Information (RTI). Subsequent agreements have been executed with the BCT Partner Cities since 2006.

H.11., File # 26-0830 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026
The City of Redondo Beach received funding offsets from the BCT Partner Cities from the inception of Line 109 through FY 2018-19. Beginning FY 2019-20 through FY 2024-25, the City received dedicated COVID-19 relief funds that offset the funding shortfalls for Line 109 operation, allowing partner cities to receive service without cost-sharing contributions. As COVID-19 relief funding is no longer available, and operating costs have continued to increase, cost-sharing resumed in FY 2025- 26 and continues in FY 2026-27.

Offset Calculation
The proposed cost-sharing amount was calculated using the historical methodology established between the agencies, based on the percentage of revenue service miles that BCT Line 109 travels through Manhattan Beach. This methodology has been used in previous agreements and ensures the City's contribution remains proportional to the level of service provided. All funding collected under this Agreement will be applied directly to Beach Cities Transit Line 109 operating expenses.

Included below is an overview of historical offset funding provided by the BCT Partner Cities. BCT will utilize Proposition A Local Return Funds to cover the remaining costs that exceed BCT Partner Cities contributions.

The City of Manhattan Beach approved the proposed Agreement to provide its proportional share of $29,125 for BCT Line 109 services, with a one-year term running from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.

City staff continues to provide the City of Manhattan Beach with service information and collaborates on operations, promotions, and marketing efforts. Staff also coordinates the distribution of Beach Cities Transit schedules at public facilities and community locations and assists with maintaining current BCT service information on the City's website and other public communication platforms.

Staff will continue to monitor BCT Line 109 operating expenses to ensure the cost-sharing formula remains aligned with the established Agreement.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Transit Services Agreement with the City of Manhattan Beach for $29,125 and adopt the attached Resolution appropriating these funds to the Transit Fund for Beach Cities Transit Line 109 operations.

COORDINATION
Staff from the Transit Services Division coordinated with the City of Manhattan Beach on the development of the proposed agreement, which has been approved as to form by the City Attorney's Office.

FISCAL IMPACT
Contributions from partner cities account for a small portion of the overall cost of BCT Line 109 services. The total annual cost of Line 109 is $2,449,583 and is primarily funded by transportation restricted Formula Allocation Procedure (FAP) and Proposition A Local Return funds. The funds provided by Manhattan Beach will be allocated to the applicable Transit Operations account to cover Manhattan’s proportional share of the Line 109 operating expenses.

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING A FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 BUDGET MODIFICATION TO APPROPRIATE $198,126 IN PERMANENT LOCAL

HOUSING ALLOCATION FUNDS FROM THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TO THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL GRANT FUND

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City Attorney’s Office applied for Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funds to help cover operational costs for the Redondo Beach Pallet Shelter. On December 13, 2022, City Council held a public hearing and adopted the City’s Five-Year PLHA Plan and a resolution to apply for the grant. On February 15, 2023, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) awarded the City $557,962 for the pallet shelter for calendar years 2019, 2020, and 2021. On June 13, 2023, the City entered into an agreement with HCD to accept the award. On January 13, 2026, City Council held a public hearing and adopted a resolution authorizing the application for PLHA allocations for calendar years 2022 and 2023, as well as authorizing the City Manager to execute all related agreements and documents. On July 7, 2026, HCD and the City entered into a Standard Agreement - Amendment for funding in the amount of $198,126. The PLHA funds need to be allocated to the City’s Budget, so staff recommends approving the budget modification resolution.

BACKGROUND
In 2017, the California Legislature approved Senate Bill 2 (SB 2), also known as the Building Homes and Jobs Act, which established the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Program. This legislation created a permanent source of funding to address housing-related needs across the state. The majority of the revenues collected began to be distributed to local jurisdictions through the PLHA Program funding allocation in 2019.

In December 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. CC-2212-114 approving a five-year PLHA Program plan that dedicated funds to the Redondo Beach Pallet Shelter. The table below provides a breakdown of the allocation amount of PLHA Program funds and status by calendar year.

2021 $223,781 Received
2022 $112,160 Pending
2023 $85,966 Pending
On October 17, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution No. CC-2310-107 authorizing a 2023-2024 budget modification to appropriate $557,962 in PLHA funds for calendar years 2019-2021. Request for funds applications will be submitted to HCD in order to receive funding for calendar years 2022- 2023, totaling $198,126.

Currently, all PLHA Program funding is allocated to the Redondo Beach Pallet Shelter. In December of 2020, Redondo Beach placed fifteen (15) people from the streets into newly built tiny homes from the Pallet Company. In September of 2022, Redondo Beach added five units, bringing the total number of tiny homes to twenty (20). Currently, all twenty (20) units are occupied, three residents are employed, and a waitlist exists for entry into the Pallet Shelter units. To date, seventy-eight (78) people who have stayed at the Pallet Shelter have been permanently housed, and there are plans to expand.

The Redondo Beach Pallet Shelter was built and operates in partnership with the County of Los Angeles. The service provider that manages the shelter is Harbor Interfaith Services. The noncongregate setting makes residents feel safer than congregate shelters, particularly for women and the elderly.

Staff recommends that City Council approve the budget resolution allocating $198,126 for calendars years 2022 and 2023.

COORDINATION
The City Attorney’s Office coordinated with the City Manager’s Office in preparation of this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
HCD awarded the City $198,125 for calendar years 2022 and 2023. This funding will be used for operational costs associated with the Redondo Beach Pallet Shelter.

Activity 6- In December 2020, the City instituted Pallet Shelter housing. These Pallet Shelters are individual temporary homeless structures The Pallet Shelters were initially jointly funded for 6 months by the City of Redondo Beach and the County using Community Development Block Grant funds. In June 2021, the City Council approved an amendment to the funding agreement with the County to continue to provide the shelters. The goal of the pallet shelter is to provide the people in Redondo Beach who are experiencing homelessness with a place to stay while they work on getting permanent housing. This bridge housing brings stability to people experiencing homelessness and helps them acclimatize to a more structured lifestyle that will allow them to take the necessary steps towards permanent housing. The PLHA allocation will be used for the City's share of annual operating costs for the Pallet Shelter Village. 185

APPROVE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH CLEAR INC. FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING FOR THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $125,000 FOR THE TERM JULY 1, 2026 TO JUNE 30, 2027

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Clear Inc. has provided Homeless Court participants substance abuse and mental health counseling since September of 2020. Staff recommends that the City Council and Mayor approve a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to continue those services.

BACKGROUND
Clear Inc., operating as Clear Recovery Center, is a South Bay based mental health and substance abuse treatment provider that provides a full continuum of care. Their treatment is individualized, evidence-based and age-specific in order to give their clients the best possible chance at long term recovery. They pride themselves on their expert clinical team who is highly skilled in the latest in evidence-based treatments and therapies.

On September 1, 2020, the Mayor and City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Clear Inc. whereby Clear Inc. agreed to donate up to $5,000 of professional clinical services per month to fund a substance abuse and mental health treatment program to assist people experiencing homelessness, with the option for the City to pay for additional services not to exceed $50,000. On December 7, 2021, the Mayor and City Council approved the First Amendment, which amended the services donated to up to $3,875 per month and the term to extend the agreement to June 30, 2023.

On June 20, 2023, the Mayor and City Council approved the Second Amendment, which extended the MOU for another year to June 30, 2024 at different rates. On August 19, 2025, the Mayor and City Council approved the Third Amendment, which extended the MOU until June 30, 2026.

Since the first outdoor Homeless Court on September 9, 2020, Clear Inc. has provided participants with substance abuse counseling and mental health therapy. At the recommendation of assigned housing navigators and the prosecutors, with the agreement of defense attorneys, the Judge will order certain participants to meet with either the substance abuse counselor and/or the mental health therapist for clinical services. In addition, Clear provides weekly follow up sessions with individuals assigned to them based on new orders from the Judge.

Those services include one-on-one and group therapy by Ron White, who provides therapy for

H.14., File # 26-0838 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026
Those services include one-on-one and group therapy by Ron White, who provides therapy for individualized client-centered needs and goals as well as individual care management for life skill training. Ron White has built relationships that have saved many lives. Even after graduation, Ron White continues to meet with certain participants to make sure they retain their housing and do not fall back into homelessness.

In the past, the City received funding from the County through the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG). However, the SBCCOG did not allocate funds to Redondo this year for this purpose, so the Quality of Life Prosecutor had to look into other options.

As of June 30, 2025, the City of Redondo Beach has received opioid settlement funds from CA Abatement Accounts Fund and the Mallinckrodt Bankruptcy, which are administered through the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Opioid Settlement Funds (OSF). DHCS monitors local compliance, manages allowable use guidelines, and collects annual expenditure reports from participating cities and counties to ensure funds address the opioid crisis. Quality of Life Prosecutor Stephanie Johnson submitted a Technical Assistance (TA) form describing a proposed activity to support the Housing Initiative Court (a.k.a. Homeless Court), an outdoor prosecution-led diversion program clearing low-level misdemeanor charges and designed for unhoused individuals experiencing chronic substance use disorder (SUD) and co-occurring mental health conditions. The program offers comprehensive rehabilitation services including behavioral health treatment, housing navigation, and wrap-around supports. DHCS confirmed that this proposed activity and the services of Clear Recovery Center are allowable expenditures. This amendment will cover services provided from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 in an amount not to exceed $125,000 and the City intends to use opioid settlement funds to cover these Homeless Court-related services and expenses.

Clear has been instrumental to the treatment and stabilization of Homeless Court participants to assist them with temporary housing and inevitably permanent housing. It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council approve this MOU to cover services from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 for an amount not to exceed $125,000.

COORDINATION
The City Attorney's Office coordinated with Clear Recovery Center in the preparation of this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City will use opioid settlement funds to cover the costs of these Homeless Court-related services and expenses.

Minimum Scope of Insurance

Employer’s Liability: $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury or disease.

Umbrella/Excess Liability: $5,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate.

Deductibles and Self-Insured Retentions
Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. At the option of the City, either: (1) the insurer shall reduce or eliminate such deductibles or selfinsured retentions as respects the City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers or (2) the CLEAR shall provide a financial guarantee satisfactory to the City guaranteeing payment of losses and related investigations, claim administration and defense expenses.

Other Insurance Provisions
202
7 The general liability and automobile liability policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, the following provisions:

Additional Insured Endorsement:

General Liability: The City, its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees, and volunteers shall be covered as insureds with respect to liability arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the CLEAR. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the CLEAR’s insurance, or as a separate owner’s policy.

Automobile Liability: The City, its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees, and volunteers shall be covered as insureds with respect to liability arising out of automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by or on behalf of the CLEAR.

For any claims related to this project, the CLEAR’s insurance coverage shall be primary insurance as respects the City, its officers, elected and appointed officials, employees, and volunteers. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the City, its officers, officials, employees, or volunteers shall be excess of the CLEAR’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.

Each insurance policy shall be endorsed to state that the inclusion of more than one insured shall not operate to impair the rights of one insured against another insured, and the coverages afforded shall apply as though separate policies had been issued to each insured.

Each insurance policy shall be in effect prior to awarding the contract and each insurance policy or a successor policy shall be in effect for the duration of the project. The maintenance of proper insurance coverage is a material element of the contract and failure to maintain or renew coverage or to provide evidence of renewal may be treated by the City as a material breach of contract on the CLEAR’s part.

203
8 Subcontractors

TITLE

APPROVE SUPPLEMENTAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT (SLESA) WITH THE

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR COURT SECURITY SERVICES IN THE CITY OF REDONDO

BEACH AND HERMOSA BEACH FOR HOUSING INITIATIVE COURT FOR THE TERM BEGINNING JULY 1, 2026 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2031, UNLESS TERMINATED PRIOR BY EITHER PARTY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of this agreement will allow the County of Los Angeles to continue to provide supplemental law enforcement services to the City of Redondo Beach in the form of Court security services, at the agreed upon services rates, to protect the health and welfare of Court patrons attending the Housing Initiative Court (a.k.a. “Homeless Court”) in Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach. Homeless Court is an extension of the Southwest Superior Court in the City of Torrance and has had the responsibility of hearing cases related to people experiencing homelessness. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is the designated law enforcement agency to provide security for judges, court staff, involved parties, and patrons entering and exiting any courthouse in Los Angeles County. Assigned Sheriff’s Department personnel will continue to work closely with the Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach Police Departments for any issues that occur on site at Homeless Court in both cities.

BACKGROUND
In 2019, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors provided funding to the South Bay Cities Council of Governments to administer Innovation Funds for homeless services in the South Bay. The City of Redondo Beach was awarded this funding to combat homelessness and began its outdoor collaborative Homeless Court, which offers informal diversion and services such as mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment and housing placement. This Agreement establishes the scope of services through the Sheriff’s Department to provide court security services. The term of this updated agreement is July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031, unless terminated prior by either party.

Although an exact determination for the length of time Homeless Court will continue to be conducted outdoor in Redondo Beach and/or Hermosa Beach has not been established, the term of this agreement will preclude the need for recurring agreement amendments for up to the full five-year term of this agreement in the event that the Homeless Court program extends into future years beyond FY 30-31. The agreement also establishes the minimum required equipment for County personnel, confirms the personnel costs though the attached Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Rates sheet (which are adjusted annually by Los Angeles County) and identifies supervisory responsibility and an indemnification clause. Homeless Court will be hosted at either the Redondo

responsibility and an indemnification clause. Homeless Court will be hosted at either the Redondo Beach or Hermosa Beach locations.

COORDINATION
The City Attorney's Office coordinated with the County of Los Angeles and Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department in connection with the preparation of this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no general fund impact resulting from the approval of this agreement. All costs related to this agreement will be funded through grant funding, including but not limited to Judicial Council grant funds and opioid settlement funds.

RECEIVE AND FILE A LETTER OF SUPPORT TO SENATE BILL 799, WHICH, IF APPROVED BY THE STATE, WOULD BROADEN THE SOUTH BAY REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST’S POWERS

AND UPDATE ITS BOARD STRUCTURE

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 10, 2026, the City Council approved the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) to formally join the South Bay Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT). The South Bay Cities Council of Government (SBCCOG) worked with Senator Ben Allen’s office to enact an amendment to the enabling legislation for the SBRHT (Senate Bill 1444) to address issues identified during the feasibility process. Senate Bill 799 serves as the amending legislation
The Legislative Action Platform authorizes the submission of position letters prior to City Council review when an immediate response is required, provided the letter is reviewed and approved by the City Manager. The report presents one submitted letter to the City Council to receive and file.

BACKGROUND
Senate Bill (SB) 799 (Allen) would revise the joint powers authority structure of the SBRHT by expanding its scope to include preservation of existing affordable housing, and planning and constructing moderate income housing using private resources. The bill also designates alternate board members, which includes non-elected individuals, while limiting non-elected alternates to voting in no more than 75% of meetings. The bill shifts board composition, appointment, and vacancy procedures to be governed by the JPA rather than the SBCCOG. Lastly, the bill requires all directors and alternates to comply with board adopted conflict of interest code and adds flexibility in scheduling annual elections for chair and vice chair. Overall, these changes seek to strengthen the SBRHT by broadening its ability to deliver affordable and moderate-income housing while modernizing its governance structure to allow for flexibility and accountability.

COORDINATION
The City Manager’s Office prepared this report and worked with the Mayor to draft the position letter.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is not fiscal impact associated with this item.

RE: SB 799 (Allen): Joint powers authorities: South Bay Regional Housing Trust. -

SUPPORT
Dear Chair Carrillo:

The City of Redondo Beach, strongly supports SB 799 (Allen), which would make important revisions to the South Bay Regional Housing Trust (SBRHT) enabling the Trust to serve a broader range of income levels-including moderate-income (workforce) households-and to fund the preservation of existing affordable housing in addition to new construction, while also expanding the governance structure to allow more flexible and qualified Board representation.

The South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) and its member cities explored methods to increase affordable housing development in the South Bay over the last couple of years, one of which was the concept of a regional housing trust. Over the last year, the SBCCOG studied SBRHT formation in greater detail through a REAP 2.0 grant from HCD & SCAG. ln November 2025, the SBCCOG Board of Directors formally recommended that its member cities form and join the SBRHT. To date, 1 1 cities have voted to join the SBRHT which held its inaugural Board meeling on April 30th and made its first funding award at its May 2lstmeeting.

As the formation of the SBRHT was being explored, certain administrative revisions to its formation legislation have been identified that would allow the SBRHT Board to operate more effectively and be more responsive to its own governance needs and to the communities it serves.

One of the modifications in SB 799 would allow for member cities to consider appointment of non-elected officials to serve as their alternate member to the SBRHT Board of Directors. Affordable housing financlng is a complicated subject that wlll require a significant time commitment as well as some level of experience or expertise to make informed decisions. The appointment of the alternate - elected or non-elected - would remain the city's decision and that individual will still be accountable to that city, but this proposed revision allows the city the discretion which is especially important with council term limits and in smaller cities where councilmembers have other full-time jobs. The SBRHT would benefit from having the consistency, experience and expertise on its Board that this modification would allow.

221
An example of this is the Clean Power Alliance Joint Powers Authority where one of the SBCCOG's member cities is a member and their alternate to that Board was a former elected official who developed a depth of knowledge in the subject mafter while they were a delegate, and the city and Clean Power Alliance have benefited from having the stability of a knowledgeable representative assisting with Board decisions.

SB 799 also expands the scope of housing activities the SBRHT may fund in two meaningful ways. First, the bill now expressly adds the SBRHT to fund the preservation of existing housing-not just planning and new construction-for extremely low, very low, and low income households. Preserving existing affordable units is often more cost-effective than building new ones, and this change gives the SBRHT a critical additional tool to protect at-risk housing stock in the South Bay, particularly naturally occurring affordable housing.

Second, the bill adds authority for the SBRHT to fund the planning and construction of housing for persons and families of moderate income using private resources. This amendment creates a distinct, private-funds-only pathway to serve moderate-income households-a population that is increasingly cost-burdened in the South Bay but often falls above the threshold for traditional affordable housing programs. Together, these provisions significantly strengthen the SBRHT's ability to address the full spectrum of housing need in the region.

City of Redondo Beach supports the requested changes as they will meaningfully advance the production and preservation of affordable housing throughout the South Bay region.

For these reasons, the City of Redondo Beach supports SB 799. lf you have any questions, please feel free to contact Council Member Paige Kaluderovic at [email protected]
Sincerely,
Jim sht
Mayor

DIRECTOR
TITLE

APPROVE AN EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH AND MULTIVERSE PLATFORMS INC FOR 123 INTERNATIONAL BOARDWALK, THE

FORMER FUN FACTORY SPACE

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of the proposed Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with Multiverse Platforms Inc (Multiverse), doing business as Level Up, will authorize the City to enter into an exclusive negotiation period for the potential lease of the former Fun Factory space located on the International Boardwalk.

The ENA provides an initial 60-day due diligence period, with one optional 30-day extension, followed by a lease negotiation period of up to 60 days, with one optional 30-day extension. Execution of the ENA does not obligate the City to enter into a lease agreement, but establishes a framework for the parties to evaluate the project and negotiate mutually acceptable lease terms.

BACKGROUND
The former Fun Factory Space, located on the International Boardwalk, has remained vacant since 2019. In December 2025, the City’s leasing team issued a Memorandum of Offering (MOO) for the approximately 29,550-square-foot space, with expressions of interest due in January 2026. That solicitation process resulted in two qualified respondents for the property.

Concurrent with the solicitation process, the City initiated review of the property under the California Surplus Land Act. The Act requires local agencies to provide certain notices and offer qualifying surplus properties for affordable housing development prior to pursuing other dispositions, unless an exemption applies. In May 2026, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) determined that the property qualified for an exemption, allowing the City to proceed with lease negotiations for the site.

Following evaluation of the proposals received, staff identified Multiverse, operator of Level Up, as the preferred negotiating party. Level Up is a family-controlled entity headed by Raman Walid who has considerable experience in branded family entertainment enterprises, including having spent time with Disney in Strategic Planning across their offerings. Multiverse has proposed a family entertainment venue featuring bowling, arcade games, food and beverage service, and other recreational amenities similar to its existing operation in Palos Verdes. The proposed use is generally consistent with the site's longstanding entertainment-oriented character and is intended to

Page 1 of 2 ends

223
H.17., File # 26-0847 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026
activate a prominent waterfront location by providing new family-oriented recreational opportunities.

The proposed ENA establishes an exclusive period during which Multiverse may complete its due diligence and the parties may negotiate the terms of a potential lease agreement. During this period, Multiverse is expected to undertake activities including market analysis, conceptual design, preliminary planning, evaluation of required tenant improvements, and preparation of associated cost estimates. These efforts will assist both parties in determining the feasibility of the proposed project and developing lease terms for City Council consideration.

The former Fun Factory space presents unique redevelopment challenges due to its size, configuration, and original construction as the lower level of a parking structure. As a result, significant analysis and planning will be necessary to determine the scope of tenant improvements and associated project costs.

The proposed ENA provides an initial 60-day due diligence period, with one optional 30-day extension upon mutual agreement of the parties. Following completion of due diligence, the City will prepare a draft lease agreement within 30 days. Upon delivery of the draft lease, the parties will have an initial 60-day exclusive negotiation period, with one optional 30-day extension, to negotiate the terms of a potential lease agreement.

Execution of the ENA does not commit the City to approval of a lease. Any proposed lease agreement resulting from the negotiations would be presented to the City Council for consideration and approval at a future public meeting.

COORDINATION
Waterfront and Economic Development engaged with the Community Development and Finance Departments on the consideration of possible users and the steps to lease the space. The form of the ENA was prepared by the City’s outside legal counsel in coordination with the City Attorney’s Office.

FISCAL IMPACT
The City will incur some costs associated with staff and consultant time to facilitate Level Up’s due diligence, and to review and negotiate lease terms. Those costs can be accommodated within the Waterfront Department’s annual operating budget. Successful conclusion of negotiations would result in additional rental income to the Harbor Uplands Fund and increased sales tax revenues from the direct activities associated with the new venue and indirectly by bringing more visitors to the Pier and Harbor area.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On March 31, 2026, the City Council held a strategic planning session to discuss and update the City’s Strategic Plan.

On May 5, 2026, the City Council reviewed the draft objectives, added additional items that are incorporated in the attached matrix, and adopted the Plan. This report provides the second update to the current Strategic Plan.

The City has been committed to a strategic planning process since 1998, a process that focuses staff resources on achievable policy goals and objectives set by the City Council. On February 17, 2026, the Council directed staff to pursue an abbreviated strategic planning process facilitated internally rather than through an outside consultant. The strategic planning session was hosted in the secondfloor meeting room of the Main Library on March 31, 2026.

During the session, the Mayor and City Council discussed the City’s prior accomplishments (recognizing 125 completed objectives and projects), evaluated and adjusted the previously established three-year goals, and identified the objectives for the upcoming 12-month period.

The three-year goals (2026-2029), which serve as the overarching framework for the Strategic Plan, were reviewed and updated. Items that were edited, or added, are identified below with asterisks:

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING MODIFICATION TO THE REDONDO BEACH

MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO HEDGE-RELATED ORDINANCES

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On June 9, 2026, City Council referred a discussion to city staff regarding the city’s hedge ordinance.

Councilmember Obagi requested that the City Attorney prepare recommendations on how to revise the hedge ordinance, including defining what constitutes a hedge and who has standing to make a complaint.

The City Attorney’s Office researched and reviewed several hedge-related ordinances from various cities across Southern California. A summary of these ordinances is outlined below and were used drafting these recommendations. Councilmembers Behrendt and Obagi submitted proposed ordinance revisions. These revisions were submitted to City staff. At the time of this administrative report, department feedback from Community Development, Engineering, Police/Code Enforcement, and Fire have been submitted for Council’s consideration. Councilmembers Behrendt and Obagi also submitted proposed recommendations for consideration.

It is recommended that City Council review the feedback and recommendations and provide policy direction before a draft ordinance is presented for a first reading.

BACKGROUND
Redondo Beach Code Enforcement has received an influx of complaints regarding over-height hedges throughout the City since approximately December 2025. Code Enforcement has responded to these complaints by issuing the property owners who are allegedly in violation with a correction notice. This increased enforcement has led to increased questions from property owners and residents about the current state of the law and how alleged violations are enforced.

The Redondo Beach Municipal Code (RBMC) currently reads that hedges may not be higher than 42 inches in front setbacks and 6 feet in rear/side setbacks, with a 42-inch limit in specific reverse corner lot areas. In nonresidential zones, heights are restricted to 42 inches in front/exterior side setbacks and 6 feet in rear/interior side setbacks, with height measured from existing grade or finished grade if lower. Redondo Beach zoning regulations require a clear 15-foot by 15-foot triangular sight visibility area at all corner lot, street, and alley intersections to ensure safety. Within these areas, no trees,

245
N.1., File # 26-0848 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026
area at all corner lot, street, and alley intersections to ensure safety. Within these areas, no trees, fences, shrubs, or other obstructions may exceed 36 inches above the established sidewalk or curb grade. RBMC § 10-2.1524
The RBMC also declares hedges as nuisances if they block traffic sight, constitute flammable materials near dwellings or block streets and sidewalks. RMBC § 4-10.02 (c) Most cities limit the height of hedges for health and safety concerns. These Redondo Beach Departments reviewed the issues surrounding maximum hedge heights and provided input for Council’s consideration:

Community Development
The Community Development Department supports maintaining the 42-inch height limit as a general rule. Maintaining low fences and hedges in front yards is a fundamental urban design principle that improves character, safety, and livability of neighborhoods. Low front-yard landscaping creates an open, welcoming appearance and allows the homes to contribute visually to the street. Furthermore, it strengthens neighborhood interaction, as neighbors are more likely to greet and interact when front yards are open and visually connected to the street. While staff supports maintaining the 42-inch height limit as a city-wide standard, there may be individual instances that warrant an exception. The City Council may consider establishing an Administrative Design Review process in the ordinance that would allow exceptions to this height limit cases-by-case basis, subject to certain criteria.

Engineering
Traffic Engineering concerns center on traffic safety for all modes and driver sightline visibility. With the rise of more quiet vehicles, such as electric vehicles (EV) and e-bikes, the concern is that users approach cross traffic more quietly, providing less audible indication or their presence leading to potential conflicts. As such, sightline visibility has become even more important. Therefore, Traffic Engineering supports the City’s ordinance that requires no obstructions higher than 36” above ground 15-foot triangle on corner lots and front hedges/fences - no higher than 42”. The areas of specific safety and visibility concern are within 15 feet of a street intersection or within five (5) feet of either side of a driveway. Should hedge and fence line heights be reconsidered, the preference is for no obstructions higher than 24 inches within 15 feet of a street intersection or within 5 feet of a driveway to street intersection to improve visibility and safety. That said, 36-inch maximum height is standard and comparable with industry norms.

As for encroachment into the public right-of-way, Engineering concerns center on obstruction of the American with Disability Act (ADA) path of travel, pedestrian safety, access to utility and city facilities, visibility for first responders, and preservation of trees. The following items are not allowed in the public right-of-way:
· No hedges encroaching into the ADA path of travel
· No vegetation higher than 24” in parkways
· No toxic or sharp, spiky, nuisance vegetation
· No gardening of edibles for human consumption
Police Department/Code Enforcement
The Redondo Beach Police Department and Code Enforcement support the City's 42-inch front

Page 2 of 9 ends

246
N.1., File # 26-0848 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026
The Redondo Beach Police Department and Code Enforcement support the City's 42-inch front setback height limit for fences, walls, and hedges for these reasons:

1. Traffic safety
· Improves sight distance at driveways: Drivers backing out or entering a roadway can better see approaching vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. · Enhances visibility at intersections: Low landscaping allows drivers to see cross traffic sooner, reducing the likelihood of angle collisions.
· Protects pedestrians: Children and adults walking on sidewalks are more visible to motorists exiting driveways or approaching intersections. · Increases cyclist safety: Cyclists traveling along the roadway or sidewalk are less likely to be hidden behind tall hedges or dense vegetation.
· Allows drivers to see traffic control devices: Overgrown hedges can block stop signs, speed limit signs, street name signs, and traffic signals. · Improves nighttime safety: Low landscaping allows headlights and street lighting to illuminate intersections, sidewalks, and driveways more effectively. · Reduces conflicts during turning movements: Drivers making left or right turns have clearer views of oncoming traffic and pedestrians when vegetation does not obstruct sightlines.

2. Crime prevention:
· Natural surveillance: Low hedges allow homeowners, neighbors, and passing motorists or pedestrians to see the front door, windows, and yard. Criminals are less likely to target a home where they can easily be observed.
· Eliminates hiding places: Tall hedges provide cover for burglars to conceal themselves while attempting to force entry, look through windows, or wait for residents to leave. · Increases the perception of risk: Offenders generally prefer locations where they cannot be seen. An open, visible front yard increases the likelihood they will be noticed, interrupted, or identified.
· Supports neighborhood watch: Good visibility allows neighbors to recognize suspicious behavior and report it more quickly.
· Improves police visibility: Officers conducting patrols can better observe activity around homes when landscaping does not obstruct their view.
· Enhances lighting effectiveness: Low landscaping allows porch lights, streetlights, and motion-activated lighting to illuminate entrances more effectively rather than being blocked by dense vegetation.
.

3. Emergency Access:
· Improves visibility of the residence: Responders can more easily locate the front door, house numbers, and access points when landscaping does not obscure them. · Provides quicker access: Low hedges reduce physical barriers that can slow responders carrying equipment or rescue tools.
· Enhances situational awareness: Police officers can better observe conditions around the home, identify hazards, locate occupants, and assess threats before entering. · Reduces concealment during law enforcement incidents: Open visibility helps officers

Page 3 of 9 ends

247
N.1., File # 26-0848 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026
· Reduces concealment during law enforcement incidents: Open visibility helps officers identify potential threats, locate suspects, and maintain officer safety during responses. · Facilitates communication: Responders can more easily see and communicate with occupants who may be signaling for help from windows, doors, or the front yard.

Fire
The Redondo Beach Fire Department supports the City's ordinance that retains the 42-inch maximum height requirement for fences, walls, and hedges within the required front setback. This standard promotes fire safety by maintaining clear sightlines for emergency responders while improving visibility of addresses, fire hydrants, and access points during emergencies. Large hedges can conceal gates and block pathways, preventing access to occupants in need of rescue. In addition, maintaining lower vegetation near structures and power lines can reduce the spread or fire and support defensible space principles.

The Fire Department recommends that any requests for exceptions be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and only approved when it can be demonstrated that emergency access and public visibility will not be adversely affected.

After review and input, staff is recommending the following:

1. Add definitions for fence/wall, hedge, and vegetation to RBMC §§10-5.402(a) and 10-

2.1524

2. Re-classify violations of RBMC §10-2.1524 as either an infraction or misdemeanor in §1 -2.01(b)

3. Add new language to § 10-2.1524 on who can file complaints for alleged violations

DEFINITIONS
Currently, there are no definitions of “hedge,” “fence or wall,” or “vegetation” in the RBMC. Staff is proposing an ordinance amendment that would create a definition for hedge, fence or wall, vegetation in the RBMC.

The Laguna Beach Municipal Code (“LBMC”) in Section 12.14 defines fence, hedge, vegetation and view, as follows:
"Fence" means a barrier of any material or combination of materials placed in a manner so as to enclose or screen areas of land. "Fence" includes hedges, chain link and wire mesh. "Hedge" means generally dense vegetation so aligned as to form a physical barrier or fence. "Vegetation" means all types of plants, bushes, hedges and shrubs, including trees.

The City of Beverly Hills defines hedge as “growth of vegetation taller than twelve inches, consisting of two or more individual plants, including, without limitation, trees, that are cultivated or maintained in such a manner so that the horizontal distance between the nearest points of two plants is less than eight feet.” Beverly Hills Municipal Code (“BHMC”) §10-3-2616.

Page 4 of 9 ends

248
N.1., File # 26-0848 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026
The code also defines “hedge” as a growth of vegetation, cultivated in such a manner as to produce a barrier to inhibit passage or to obscure view, which is more than twelve inches in height. Where there are interruptions of growth by vertical space having a horizontal distance of more than twentyfour inches in every four feet, such growth shall not be considered a hedge. This definition is not intended to include individual shrubs, plants, or trees.” BHMC §10-3-100.

The Santa Barbara Municipal Code (“SBMC”) defines fence and hedge as follows:
“Fence” is defined as an upright structure serving as an enclosure, barrier, or boundary or that visually divides or conceals a parcel, usually made of posts, boards, wire, or rails. SBMC §28.87.170. “Hedge” is defined as a row of closely planted shrubs, bushes, or any other kind of plant material that forms a boundary or substantially continuous visual barrier. SBMC §28.87.170.

In Santa Monica, “hedge” is defined as a boundary or barrier of plant material formed by a row or series of shrubs, bushes, trees, or other similar vegetation that enclose, divide, or protect an area or that prevent a person from passing between any combination of individual shrubs, bushes, trees, or other similar vegetation. Santa Monica Municipal Code (“SMMC”) §9.520202.

Staff recommends the following definitions be added to the RMBC as follows:
"Fence or wall " means any artificially constructed barrier of wood, masonry, stone, wire, metal, or other manufactured material or combination of materials erected to enclose, screen, or separate areas of land "Fence" includes hedges, chain link and wire mesh. "Hedge" means any row, series, or grouping of shrubs, bushes, trees, or other vegetation planted, cultivated, or maintained in close proximity so as to form a substantially continuous barrier, boundary, screen, or obstruction to passage or view, and having a height greater than twelve (12) inches.

Isolated or intermittently spaced plants that do not create a substantially continuous visual or physical barrier shall not constitute a hedge.
“Height" shall mean the vertical distance measured from existing grade to the top of the fence, hedge, or wall, except in a required front or exterior side setback where the finished grade is lower than the existing grade, in which case height shall be measured from the finished grade. "Vegetation" means all types of plants, bushes, hedges and shrubs, including trees.

RECLASSIFICATION OF VIOLATIONS §10-2.1524
RBMC Section §10-2.1524 “Fences, hedges, walls and obstructions in all zones,” states, in part as follows:
a) Purpose. This section is intended to provide for the regulation of the height and location of fences, walls, and similar obstructions, for the purpose of providing for light, air, and privacy and safeguarding the public welfare by preventing visual obstructions at street and highway intersections. The provisions of this section shall not be deemed to set aside or reduce the

Page 5 of 9 ends

249
N.1., File # 26-0848 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026
intersections. The provisions of this section shall not be deemed to set aside or reduce the requirements established for security fencing, either by local, State, or federal laws, or by the safety requirements of the Board of Education.
b) Height. For the purposes of this section, "height" shall mean the vertical distance from existing grade to the top of the fence, hedge, or wall, except in a required front or exterior side setback where the finished grade is lower than the existing grade, height shall be measured from the finished grade. The following standards shall apply:

1. All residential zones.
a. Front setbacks. No fence, hedge, or wall over 42 inches in height shall be permitted within any required front setback.
b. Rear and side setbacks. Except as permitted in subsections (c) and (e) of this section, no fence, hedge, or wall greater than six feet in height shall be permitted within any required rear setback or side setback.
c. Reverse corner lots in residential zones. Notwithstanding subsection (b)(1)(b) of this section, no fence, wall, or hedge over 42 inches in height shall be permitted within a triangular area at the corner of the lot abutting the front setback of the key lot, which triangle shall be formed by the rear and exterior side lot lines and a diagonal line drawn between two points located 15 feet along the rear and exterior side lot lines from their point of intersection… If violations of section (b) are not corrected, property owners are subject to criminal prosecution and could potentially face misdemeanor charges. RBMC §1-2.01(a).

Nuisance-related hedge violations are wobblettes, which means they may be deemed as either an infraction or a misdemeanor, and/or remediated through abatement orders, if the hedge constitutes a traffic obstruction, flammability concern, or impedes a street or sidewalk. RBMC §§ 1-2.01(b), 4-

10.02(c)(1), (2) and (8), and 4-10.05-4-10.09.

Staff is proposing that violations of RBMC §10-2.1524(b) also be deemed woblettes to align with nuisance-related hedge violations. In addition, violations of §10-2.1524 (hedge-height violations) would need to be added to the chart in §1-2.01(b) and subject to penalties consistent with §1-2.02.

BONAFIDE COMPLAINANT AND CITY STAFF ENFORCEMENT
Currently, the RBMC does not specify who can file a complaint for alleged height or nuisance-related hedge violations. Staff recommends adding language to §10-2.1524 as follows:

1. General. Enforcement of the height and location standards of this section shall be primarily complaint-driven. This subsection governs the standing required to initiate a complaint and does not restrict any person's right to petition the city or submit information to city staff.

2. Bona Fide Complainant Defined. For purposes of this section, a "bona fide complainant" means an owner or occupant of record of a parcel that:
a. Shares a property line with the property alleged to be in violation; or b. Is located directly across the street, alley, or right-of-way from the property alleged to be in violation and is within 150 feet of the alleged violation; or c. Is otherwise demonstrably and materially affected by the alleged violation, including

Page 6 of 9 ends

250
N.1., File # 26-0848 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026
c. Is otherwise demonstrably and materially affected by the alleged violation, including but not limited to violations that constitute a public nuisance as defined in section 4-

10.02(c) (1), (2), (8) and as determined by the Director of Community Development or City Engineer or their designee.

3. Complaint Requirement. The City shall not initiate a formal enforcement action under this section absent a written complaint submitted by a bona fide complainant as defined in subsection (h)(2). Anonymous complaints and complaints from persons who do not qualify as bona fide complainants may be logged for informational purposes but shall not, standing alone, constitute the basis for a formal enforcement action.

4. Good Faith Requirement. Complaints submitted under this section shall be made in good faith based on a genuine belief that a violation exists and that the complainant is materially affected thereby. The city reserves the right to decline to pursue enforcement where it determines that a complaint has been submitted for an improper purpose, including but not limited to harassment of a property owner or an attempt to manipulate city enforcement resources for purposes unrelated to the welfare of the complaining party.

5. Notice before enforcement. Prior to initiating formal enforcement proceedings under this section, the city shall provide the property owner written notice of the alleged violation and a minimum of 60 days to achieve voluntary compliance. This notice requirement shall not apply where the Director of Community Development or City Engineer determines that a public safety hazard requires more immediate action.

ADMINISTRATIVE DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS
At this time, staff recommends that hedge heights remain consistent with the current ordinance. In a meeting with Engineering, there were discussions about lowering the front setback height limit near driveways to 24-inches consistent with the City of Santa Monica.

However, the City Council could consider creating a process, through Administrative Design Review (RBMC §10-2.2500), to permit hedge heights in excess of 42 inches. Under this process, the authorization of hedge heights exceeding 42 inches could be approved by the Community Development Director, subject to certain criteria such as:
· The hedge does not create a public safety issue due to obstructed sight lines; · Front yards of neighboring properties are generally visible from the public way and the hedge would not contribute a “walled off” appearance of the neighborhood; · The hedge would not significantly impact adjacent properties; and · The property owner shall be responsible for maintain the hedge at the approved height in perpetuity.

Councilmembers Behrendt and Obagi make the following recommendations:

1. Include clear and updated definitions of what actually constitutes a "hedge" (and "fences" and "walls").

2. Revise the ordinance to provide the City Attorney’s Office with discretion to prosecute violations as "wobblettes," i.e., either a misdemeanor or an infraction, depending on the circumstances and severity of the violation (currently, the ordinance requires misdemeanor prosecutions).

3. Include a "bona fide" and/or "good faith" complaint requirement (e.g., the owner or occupant of

Page 7 of 9 ends

251
N.1., File # 26-0848 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026

3. Include a "bona fide" and/or "good faith" complaint requirement (e.g., the owner or occupant of an adjoining or nearby home) to reduce the likelihood of unnecessary filing of complaints, the unnecessary expenditure of time and resources, and enforcement actions, concerning only minor, trivial, or inconsequential violations.

4. Ensure the City retains the independent discretion to seek enforcement of the ordinance for violations concerning police, fire, and public safety matters; public health; statutory nuisances; encroachment onto City sidewalks or right of ways; large or multiple adjacent lots with hedges that create a "walled off" appearance of the neighborhood; and other objective and clear criteria, based on the input and recommendations provided by Police, Fire, Public Works, Community Development, the City Attorney's Office, and other City Departments ("Critical and/or Urgent Violations").

5. Include an Administrative Design Review process (RBMC 10-2.2500), to permit hedge heights in excess of 42 inches, to be reviewed for potential approval by the Community Development Director, or designee, or a process through another City Department, subject to certain criteria such as:
a. The hedge does not create a public safety issue due to obstructed sight lines, including demonstrating that emergency access and public visibility will not be adversely affected;
b. Front yards of neighboring properties are generally visible from the public way and the hedge would not contribute a “walled off” appearance of the neighborhood; c. The hedge would not significantly impact adjacent properties d. The property owner shall be responsible for maintain the hedge at the approved height in perpetuity

6. Include a neat and orderly requirement for all hedges in the City, no matter what type of property, for example:

All fences, walls, and hedges shall be maintained in a safe, neat and orderly condition at all times. Property owners must maintain the hedge so that it does not encroach onto the parcel of an adjoining parcel and the public right-of-way. If any portion of a hedge, including its roots, encroaches onto the parcel of an adjoining parcel, the owner of the adjoining parcel shall, after giving 30 days' notice and opportunity to cure, have the right to remove those portions of the hedge that encroach on their parcel back to the parcel line so long as they act reasonably and the removal does not cause unnecessary injury. The adjoining parcel owner shall have the right to file a civil action to recover all costs reasonably incurred in removing the encroaching portions of the hedge.

7. Revise the statement of Purpose in the ordinance to capture and explain the intentions and reasoning for the revised ordinance.

8. Other items:
a. Maintain the current height limits.
b. Add a new height limit for a "High Visual Obstruction" (HVO), emulating Santa Monica's new ordinance, which caps height at 24" in a 5' x 5' triangle. c. Ensure a reasonable notice and opportunity to cure, and/or seek administrative review, procedure for violations, with the exception of "Critical and/or Urgent Violations." d. Create standards / guidance for Code Enforcement, including to determine which complaints (i) are "bona fide" and/or "good faith" complaints; and (ii) address a legitimate public health or safety concern (e.g., Critical and/or Urgent Violations) vs.

minor, trivial, or inconsequential violations, among other things.

COORDINATION

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE PROPOSED POLICY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY’S CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM,

INCLUDING IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ANNUAL REVIEW PROCESS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On May 5, 2026, the City Council approved modifications to the City’s Crossing Guard Program, reducing the number of staffed locations from 27 to 18 and establishing a more equitable, objective, and sustainable program. To ensure these critical actions are maintained, the School Crossing Guard Subcommittee has developed proposed policy goals and objectives to guide ongoing administration and review of the City’s Crossing Guard Program.

BACKGROUND
Following the City Council’s action on May 5, 2026, the City of Redondo Beach and the Redondo Beach Unified School District issued a joint press statement on June 18, 2026, outlining the approved program modifications and the coordinated efforts that the City and School District are undertaking to keep families, students, and the broader community informed throughout the transition.

As noted in the joint press statement, the City is in the process of implementing traffic calming and safety measures at locations impacted by the program changes. Several of these improvements will be completed over the summer, with the remaining installations continuing into the early part of the school year. Public communications regarding these updates have been, and will continue to be provided through the City’s website and social media channels.

In order to evaluate and support the ongoing sustainability of the City’s Crossing Guard Program (Program), the School Crossing Guard Subcommittee has developed the following recommended policy goals and objectives to guide the administration and future review of the Program through an internal, staff-driven policy and operational framework that places a priority on improving overall traffic safety and ensuring the Program is administered objectively, sustainably, and equitably. This framework will guide staff in applying consistent criteria, conducting annual evaluations, and making data-informed decisions that maintain program integrity and support long term community safety.

The policy goals and objectives are:

1. Enhance public safety on our City streets through proactive education and the implementation of permanent, year-round, traffic engineering solutions, rather than through the use of shortPage 1 of 3 312
N.2., File # 26-0853 Meeting Date: 7/21/2026
of permanent, year-round, traffic engineering solutions, rather than through the use of shortterm resources (e.g., crossing guards) or enforcement whenever possible.

2. Implement an annual review process, led by engineering professionals, and publicly considered and evaluated by the City’s Public Works, Safety and Sustainability Commission (PWSSC).

3. Direct all community feedback and input regarding the Program to the City’s Transportation Engineer and the City Manager’s Office for consideration as part of the annual review process.

4. Monitor and evaluate the crossing guard locations over the course of the year using objective data to ensure value and to identify any locations where adjustments may be warranted.

5. Identify and pursue traffic engineering solutions at crossing guard locations, where possible, to reduce the utilization of short-term resources and to improve traffic safety at all hours of the day.

6. Collaborate with on-site school officials and Redondo Beach Unified School District administrators concerning the appropriate placement of the crossing guards assigned to each of the 10 school-based locations. The Program will maintain one crossing guard at each of these locations.

7. Review each of the eight at-large crossing guard locations to evaluate overall value, benefit, and necessity to the community. Additionally, where traffic calming and safety improvements adequately mitigate or remove the need for a staffed crossing guard, develop and present recommendations accordingly.

8. Require the City’s Transportation Engineer, in coordination with Police Department personnel, to collect and analyze data regarding the Program during the school year, prepare an annual report, and present recommendations to the PWSSC. The annual report and recommendations will include multimodal traffic data, prevailing conditions, and other relevant information for current and proposed crossing guard locations consistent with these policy goals and objectives. The report will also include an evaluation of traffic safety, potential traffic calming measures, and the efficacy and necessity of individual crossing guard assignments, and other metrics to ensure crossing guard locations are consistent with community needs and available resources. Recommendations may also include applicable State and Federal standards and guidelines, such as the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD).

9. Present staff recommendations to the PWSSC at their June or July meeting for review, discussion, and public input. Following deliberation, if the Commission agrees with staff’s recommendations, then no further discussion will occur and the proposed modification(s), if any, will be implemented the following school year. If the Commission disagrees with, or requests a modification to a recommendation of staff, the respective recommendation will be presented to the City Council to make a final determination.

COORDINATION
The City Manager’s Office coordinated preparation of this report with the Public Works and Police Departments and the members of the City Council Subcommittee.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the City’s Crossing Guard Program is included in the FY 2026-27 Adopted Budget and provides resources for the annual deployment of 18 internally staffed crossing guards. The collection of traffic counts and other objective data needed to evaluate the program’s ongoing effectiveness is part of the Police and Public Works Departments annual operating budgets. If additional funding is needed for specific traffic data collection efforts than supplemental funding requests will be presented

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING BALLOT TEXT AND QUESTION FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE VOTERS FOR THE UPCOMING NOVEMBER 3, 2026 LOS ANGELES

COUNTY GENERAL ELECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE XXVII OF THE CITY CHARTER FOR

PROPOSED MAJOR CHANGES IN ALLOWABLE LAND USE, DETERMINE WHO SUBMITS

ARGUMENT FOR, AND BALLOT LETTER DESIGNATIONS, AND ELECTION OR MEASURE

RELATED ITEMS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is seeking direction on the ballot measure text and ballot question for the November 3, 2026 Special Municipal Election. For the purpose of submitting a measure to the qualified registered voters of the City of Redondo Beach, the City Clerk/Elections Official will prepare resolutions on August 4, 2026, calling the Special Municipal election, requesting permission for consolidation with Los Angeles County, setting written arguments for and against, directing the City Attorney to prepare an impartial analysis, and approve ballot letter designations.

BACKGROUND
On July 7, 2026, the Mayor and City Council discussed placing a ballot measure on the November 3, 2026, general election regarding the General Plan Update. A motion was made to form a Council Subcommittee to assist with the ballot measure and necessary info as well as to bring back a discussion to the City Council meeting on July 21. Mayor Pro Tem Behrendt and Council Member Obagi, Jr. were selected to serve on the Subcommittee.

To place a measure on the Los Angeles County Ballot, the City Clerk’s Office needs to file three adopted Resolutions with the Board of Supervisors and the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk to call and give notice that the election will be held, to consolidate the City of Redondo Beach’s Special Election with the County General Election and to set priorities for the filing of written arguments for and against the measure. To get a measure on the November 3, 2026 general election, these Resolutions must be filed by August 7, 2026. The City Clerk’s Office will present these resolutions for approval at the August 4, 2026, City Council meeting.

In preparation for the Resolutions, the City Council and Mayor should agree on the ballot measure text, ballot question, and who will draft arguments in favor of the Measure. Wording for the Measure consists of a 75-word ballot question that appears on the Official Ballot and in the Voter Information

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, DO HEREBY ORDAIN:

SECTION 1. BACKGROUND
The City of Redondo Beach is undertaking a comprehensive update to its General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Local Coastal Program to modernize land use policies and comply with State housing law. Due to statutory deadlines, the City Council divided the adoption of these updates into two phases:

Phase I (2024 City Council Approved Changes): Approved on November 5th, and 12th, 2024, this phase included state-mandated Housing Element updates that upzoned specific properties to meet regional housing needs. To offset this increased capacity and comply with State law, the City concurrently adopted "Other Residential Changes" which reduced housing capacity or downzoned certain residential and mixed-use areas (e.g., in the Galleria and Coastal Mixed-Use areas). These “Other Residential Changes” (Phase I) are analyzed in a separate Article XXVII land use and traffic analysis.

Phase II (2026 City Council Approved Changes): Approved on August 4th, and 18th, 2026, this phase encompasses comprehensive non-residential updates affecting industrial and commercial land use categories.

Page 3 of 46 ends

It’s important to note that any amendments associated with the City’s Housing Element that occurred with the City Councils adoption of Phase I in November of 2024 are exempt from the provisions of Article XXVII and are not included in this Ballot Measure.

Article XXVII Requirements (Measure DD): Under Article XXVII of the City Charter, any "major change in allowable land use" must be ratified by a majority vote of the People. A major change is defined as any amendment that would significantly increase traffic, density, or intensity of use above the existing "as-built" condition (e.g., adding more than 40,000 square feet of non-residential floor area or 25 residential units); change a public use to a private use; or change a non-residential use to a residential or mixed-use resulting in a density greater than 8.8 dwelling units per acre.

SECTION 2. PHASE I NOVEMBER 5th, AND 12th, 2024
The “Major Changes in Allowable Land Use” approved by City Council as “Phase I” on November 5th, and 12th, 2024, consist of updates to the City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Coastal Land Use Plan, and Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance (the Implementing Plan (IP) of the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP)) regarding amendments to residential land uses that are not required by the City’s Housing Element.

These amendments are described below are hereby approved.

The “Phase I” amendments are clustered in 5 general areas of the city.

1. Artesia Boulevard.

Artesia Boulevard | Affected Area
The affected area comprises 8.31 acres and 29 properties fronting the western portion of Artesia Boulevard between Blossom Lane and Aviation Way.

Artesia Boulevard | City Council Adopted Amendments (November 2024) The amendments approved by the City Council include changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance:

Kingsdale. City Council approved upzoning 22 properties that were not listed in Table B2 of the Housing Element to allow for higher-density housing consistent with changes on neighboring properties that qualified for inclusion in the City's Housing Element sites inventory. Both the General Plan and Zoning designations on these properties change from R-3 residential to RH high-density residential.

Mall Site. City Council renamed the General Plan designation from Regional Commercial (CR) to mixed-use Transit Center (MU-TC), reducing the permissible housing density allowed from 35 to 30 du/ac. The Zoning designation will remain Regional Commercial 321

(CR), but the development standards were amended to reduce the maximum density allowed from 35 to 30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac). This change impacts five properties.

Industrial Flex. City Council eliminated housing as an allowable use south of the utility right-of-way by redesignating six properties as Industrial Flex (IF). The Industrial Flex designation establishes a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.00 and permits a mix of commercial and light industrial uses compatible with the affordable housing potential identified in this area in the Housing Element. The General Plan designation will be Industrial Flex (IF), while the Zoning will add a new Industrial Flex Overlay (IFO) as a mandatory overlay zone.

SECTION 3. PHASE II AUGUST 4th, AND 18th, 2026
The “Major Changes in Allowable Land Use” approved by City Council as Phase II on August 4th, and August 18th, 2026, consist of updates to the City’s General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Coastal Land Use Plan, and Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance (the Implementing Plan (IP) of the City’s Local Coastal Program (LCP)) regarding amendments to industrial areas north of Manhattan Beach Boulevard, commercial corridors along Artesia and Aviation Boulevards, and Pacific Coast Highway, and three school sites (Alta Vista Elementary, Franklin Elementary (now Friendship Campus), and Lincoln Elementary). These amendments are described below are hereby approved.

The “Phase II” amendments are clustered in 4 general areas of the city.

1. Industrial Intensity
Industrial Intensity | Affected Area
The affected area comprises 231.56 acres across 43 properties between Marine Ave to the North, Manhattan Beach Blvd to the South, Inglewood Ave to the East, and Aviation Blvd to the West. None of the affected areas are within the coastal zone.

Industrial Intensity | City Council Adopted Amendments (August 2026) Phase II adopted changes include revisions to the General Plan Land Use Definitions and Zoning Ordinance:

I-1 Properties. The City Council approved an increase in the maximum FAR for I-1 properties from 0.70 FAR to 1.00 FAR. This is identified in Table 2.1 of the proposed General Plan, and sections 10-2.1012, 10-2.1013, and 10-2.1014 of the Zoning Ordinance. No map changes are proposed; the General Plan land use designation on all 36 properties would remain I-1, while the Zoning designations would remain I-1 (18 properties), I-1A (9 properties), and I-1B (9 properties).

I-3 Properties. The City Council approved an increase in the maximum FAR for I-3 properties from 0.70 FAR to 1.00 FAR. This is identified in Table 2.1 of the proposed General Plan, and section 10-2.1022 of the Zoning Ordinance. No map changes are proposed; the General Plan land use designation on all 7 properties would remain I-3, while the Zoning designation would remain IC-1.

The current and proposed land use and zoning designations shown in Figures 1.1a-1.1d illustrate that no map changes are proposed. Proposed changes to the General Plan text are shown in Figures 1.2a and1.2b, and proposed changes to the zoning ordinance are shown on Figure 1.3. All affected properties are outside of the Coastal Zone, so no edits to the LCP are proposed.

Artesia and Aviation Boulevards | City Council Adopted Amendments (August 2026)
Phase II adopted changes include changes to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance:

Properties changing from C-2 to CN (AACAP). Phase II amended the General Plan designation for all C-2 properties facing Artesia and Aviation Blvds within the AACAP Area to CN (AACAP). This designation allows for the same types of uses as C-2, but increases the maximum FAR from 0.60 to 1.50. This change is identified in Figures 2.1a2.1d and Table 2.1 of the adopted General Plan. These updates to the zoning ordinance reflect the change in FAR in section 10-2.622 of the Zoning Ordinance, but no updates to the zoning map are needed. The General Plan land use designation for 115 properties (28.2 acres) would change from C-2 to CN (AACAP). These properties are located along three specific corridor segments:
• Artesia Blvd (Between Ruxton Ln and SCE Corridor)
• Artesia Blvd (Between Rindge Ln and Blossom Ln)
• Aviation Blvd (from Artesia Blvd & Aviation Way to Aviation Blvd & Harper Ave/City Boundary).

Properties changing from C-2-PD to CN (AACAP). Phase II amended the General Plan designation for C-2-PD to CN(AACAP) on properties fronting Artesia Blvd between the SCE Corridor and Rindge Ln. The CN(AACAP) designation allows for the same types of uses as C-2-PD, but increases the maximum FAR from 0.60 to 1.50. This change is identified in Figures 2.1a-2.1d and Table 2.1 of the adopted General Plan. These updates to the zoning ordinance reflect the change in FAR in section 10-2.625 of the Zoning Ordinance. The General Plan land use designation for 45 properties (11.5 acres) would change from C-2-PD to CN (AACAP), while the Zoning designations would remain C-2- PD (No changes to the zoning map are proposed).

Properties with approved Phase I changes and adopted Phase II changes. On November 5, 2024 City Council approved changing 28 properties between Blossom Lane and Aviation Way from mixed use (MU-1) to Commercial (C-2) with a maximum FAR of 0.60.

The Phase II GPU amended these 28 properties from C-2 to CN(AACAP), which allows the same types of uses as C-2, but increases the maximum FAR from 0.60 to 1.50. This change is identified in Figures 2.1a-2.1d and Table 2.1 of the adopted General Plan.

These updates to the zoning ordinance reflect the change in FAR in section 10-2.622 of the Zoning Ordinance. The General Plan land use designation for these 28 properties would change from C-2 to CN (AACAP), while the Zoning designations would remain C2 consistent with the Phase I map changes already adopted City Council.

Development Standards. Consistent with City Council’s approval (inclusive of some recommendations by the Planning Commission), Phase II amended the C-2 and C-2-PD zoning development standards specifically for properties within the AACAP boundary. In addition to the FAR increase to 1.50, the amendments raise the maximum building height to 45 feet and allow up to three stories. To ensure a walkable, visually engaging streetscape, the amendments also introduce rigorous pedestrian-oriented architectural and design standards. These include requiring a minimum 12-foot floor-to-ceiling dimension for first-floor commercial spaces, a minimum of 70 percent transparent materials (such as glass or windows) for ground-floor retail frontages, upper-story step344 RESOLUTION NO.

backs (a minimum average 5-foot setback above the second floor), and specific highquality facade material and shade structure requirements.

Rooftop Dining. The City Council approved Phase II amendments introduce a new Rooftop Dining Ordinance that will apply to C-2 and C-2-PD zoned properties along Artesia and Aviation Boulevards. Rooftop dining areas will be permitted subject to an Administrative Use Permit and must be operated as an integral part of an associated restaurant. The ordinance mandates strict operational, design, and noise mitigation standards to ensure compatibility with adjacent uses, including a maximum structure height of 10 feet above the roof surface, downward-facing lighting, and a 20-foot setback from any contiguous residential zone. To incentivize placemaking within the Artesia and Aviation Corridors Area Plan (AACAP) boundary, no additional parking is required for rooftop dining. Additionally, all rooftop dining square footage will count toward the total adopted 1.50 FAR requirement.

The current and adopted land use and zoning designations are shown in Figures 2.1a2.1d. The current and adopted General Plan text is shown in Figures 2.2a and 2.2b, and changes to the zoning ordinance are shown in Figure 2.3. All affected properties are outside of the Coastal Zone, so no edits to the LCP are required. 345

3. PCH and Torrance Boulevard.

PCH and Torrance Boulevard | Affected Area
The Proposed Project changes select commercial properties along PCH from C-2 to C4, which allows for a higher maximum intensity, changing the allowed intensity from 0.50 FAR to 1.00 FAR. The Proposed Project also changes one property along Torrance from C-2 to Public Institutional (PI-1), increasing the maximum intensity allowed from 0.50 FAR to 0.75 FAR. The affected properties are divided between the coastal zone and inland areas.

PCH and Torrance Boulevard | City Council Adopted Amendments (August 2026) Phase II adopted changes include revisions to the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Coastal Land Use Plan (CLUP), and Zoning Map:

Properties changing from C-2 to C-4. Phase II amended the General Plan designation for 40 properties (18.4 acres) along Pacific Coast Highway from Commercial (C-2) to Commercial (C-4). This designation allows for commercial uses but increases the maximum allowable building intensity from 0.50 FAR to 1.00 FAR. This change is identified in Figures 3.1a-3.1f and Table 2.1 of the proposed General Plan. These properties are divided between the Coastal Zone and inland areas across four specific corridor segments:

Coastal Zone (West Side of Pacific Coast Highway). This includes 31 properties across three segments: between Catalina Ave and Gertruda Ave (16 properties); between Beryl St and Carnelian Ave (3 properties); and between Pearl St and Ruby St (12 properties).

For these properties the Coastal Land Use Map in the Coastal Land Use Plan, will be amended to change the designation from C-2 to C-4, making these properties consistent with the General Plan. The Zoning Code for the Coastal Zone regulates zoning on these properties, and the Zoning designations will be changed from C-2 and C-2A to C-4.

Inland (East Side of Pacific Coast Highway). This includes 9 properties along PCH between Pearl St and Ruby St. For these properties, the General Plan designation will 356

change from C-2 to C-4, and the Zoning designation will change from C-2 to C-4. This area is outside of the coastal zone, so there are no changes to the Coastal Land Use Plan or Coastal Land Use Plan Implementing Ordinance for this segment.

The current and proposed land use and zoning designations are shown in Figures 3.1a3.1d. The current and proposed Coastal Land Use Plans are shown in Figures 3.1e and

3.1f. Figures 3.2a and 3.2b note that there are no proposed changes to General Plan land use designations associated with these changes. Figure 3.3 notes that there are no proposed changes to the zoning ordinance.
