CHAPTER 38 HEDGES AND VEGETATION
4-38.01 Intent and purposes of chapter. This chapter establishes supplemental definitions, maintenance requirements, public safety and nuisance standards, and enforcement procedures applicable to hedges and vegetation throughout all zones of the City of Redondo Beach. The purposes of this section are to:
(a) Provide for light, air, and privacy for residents and property owners throughout the City;
(b) Safeguard public welfare by preventing visual obstructions at street, highway, alley, and driveway intersections that may endanger persons in motor vehicles, pedestrians, or other members of the traveling public;
(c) Promote traffic safety and emergency access by maintaining clear sightlines at driveways and intersections;
752
ORDINANCE NO. 3317-26

HEDGE ORDINANCE
Page No. 2
(d) Promote crime prevention through natural surveillance by maintaining reasonable visibility of residential and commercial properties from the public right-of-way; (e) Protect the character and livability of Redondo Beach neighborhoods by preventing the creation of walled-off streetscapes that isolate properties from the public right of way;
(f) Ensure that hedges are kept free of overgrown, unsightly or hazardous conditions and do not encroach upon utilities or the public right-of-way; and (g) Establish a fair, efficient, and legally sound enforcement framework that prioritizes genuine neighbor impacts and public safety concerns, while minimizing unnecessary enforcement actions for minor, trivial, or inconsequential violations.

Nothing in this chapter supersedes, limits, or replaces any remedy or enforcement authority available under any other provision of this Code, including without limitation Chapter 10 of Title 4 (Nuisances), nor does anything in this chapter prevent enforcement of any violation that also constitutes a violation of another provision of this Code or of local, state, or federal law.
4-38.02 Definitions.

For purposes of this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below.
“Bona Fide Complainant” shall mean an owner or occupant of record on a lot located within 100 feet of the lot with an alleged violation.
“Critical and/or Urgent Violation” shall mean a violation of this chapter that constitutes any of the following, as determined by the City Manager, or designees:
(a) Traffic safety — sight obstruction. Any hedge or vegetation so located with respect to a driveway, intersection, path, or street approach as to prevent a clear view of approaching vehicles or members of the traveling public in sufficient time for a driver traveling at a reasonable speed to come to a full stop, or any Visual Obstruction within a Sight Triangle that exceeds the height limits in sections 10-

2.1524 or 10-5.1524, as applicable.
(b) Traffic safety — traffic control devices. Any hedge or vegetation that obstructs the clear visibility from the public right-of-way of any traffic control device, including without limitation stop signs, speed limit signs, street name signs, and traffic signals.
(c) Address visibility. Any hedge or vegetation that obstructs the clear visibility of property address numbers from the public right-of-way, impeding the ability of emergency responders or the public to identify the property. 753
ORDINANCE NO. 3317-26

HEDGE ORDINANCE
Page No. 3
(d) Emergency access. Any hedge or vegetation that obstructs, conceals, or impedes access to gates, entryways, pathways, or any portion of the property by emergency responders, or that prevents emergency responders from clearly observing conditions at or around the property from the public right-of-way. (e) Crime prevention and natural surveillance. Any hedge or vegetation located within a required front setback that eliminates or substantially reduces the visibility of front doors, ground-floor windows, or the front yard of a residential or commercial property from the public right-of-way, in a manner that provides concealment for criminal activity as determined by the Chief of Police or designee.
(f) Nighttime safety. Any hedge or vegetation that substantially blocks the illumination of driveways, intersections, entryways, or sidewalks by streetlights, porch lights, or other required or customary lighting, in a manner that creates a safety hazard for pedestrians or motorists.
(g) Fire hazard and defensible space. Any hedge, tree, shrub, or other vegetation of flammable character maintained within twenty (20) feet of any dwelling or structure used for human habitation where the vegetation is dead, dying, or inadequately maintained, such that it presents a fire hazard. (h) Public right-of-way encroachment. Any hedge or vegetation that encroaches into, over, or upon any public sidewalk, parkway, alley, street, or other public right-ofway in a manner that obstructs pedestrian or vehicular traffic, impedes ADArequired pedestrian access, or poses a hazard to persons using the right-of-way, including without limitation vegetation higher than twenty-four (24) inches in a parkway, and toxic, sharp, spiky, or nuisance vegetation adjacent to or overhanging a public right-of-way.
(i) Walled-off streetscape. A continuous hedge exceeding six (6) feet in height, extending along a single street frontage for a cumulative linear distance of fifty (50) feet or more, whether on a single parcel or across two or more immediately adjacent parcels under common or related ownership or control. (j) Other public health or safety hazard. Any other condition involving a hedge or vegetation that the City Manager, or designees, determines presents a risk to public health, safety, or welfare based on objective, articulable conditions. “Hedge” shall mean a continuous living screen, barrier, or boundary marker formed by a row, series, or grouping of two (2) or more closely spaced woody shrubs, bushes, trees, or other vegetation planted, cultivated, or maintained in close proximity so as to form, or that has grown to form, a substantially continuous physical or visual obstruction to passage or view, having a height greater than twelve (12) inches. “Height” shall mean the vertical distance from the top of the hedge to the grade (ground) directly below. The height shall be measured from the side of the hedge with the 754
ORDINANCE NO. 3317-26

HEDGE ORDINANCE
Page No. 4
highest grade (ground) elevation. Grades (grounds) shall not be artificially altered for the purpose of circumventing the height limits set forth in this section. “Shrub” shall mean a woody plant, generally smaller than a tree, typically with multiple stems branching from or near the ground.
“Sight Triangle” shall mean a triangular area at the corner of a lot at any street intersection or street-alley intersection, maintained clear of visual obstructions for traffic safety purposes.

4-38.03 Safety, Nuisance, and Right-of-Way Violations
The following conditions constitute violations of this chapter and are enforceable by the City independently of, and without regard to, the Bona Fide Complainant requirement set forth in section 4-38.05 below. Each condition described in this section may also independently constitute a violation of RBMC §4-10.02 or other applicable provisions of this Code or state or federal law, and nothing in this section limits or supersedes that independent enforcement authority.
(a) Traffic sight obstructions. It shall be a violation of this section for any property owner or occupant to tolerate, allow, or permit:
(1) Any tree, hedge or vegetation to be so located with respect to a driveway or street intersection as to prevent a clear view of approaching motor vehicles, pedestrians, or the traveling public in sufficient time for a vehicle driven at a reasonable speed to come to a full stop before such intersection or driveway approach is reached; or
(2) Any Visual Obstruction within a Sight Triangle that exceeds the height limits established in sections 10-2.1524 or 10-5.1524, as applicable. (b) Obstructions over and upon streets, sidewalks, and public rights-of-way. It shall be a violation of this section for any property owner or occupant to tolerate, allow, or permit any hedge, or limbs, branches, or other vegetation to be so situated or located as to encroach upon, obstruct, or overhang any public street, alley, parkway, or sidewalk in a manner that:
755
ORDINANCE NO. 3317-26

HEDGE ORDINANCE
Page No. 5
(1) obstructs or may reasonably be expected to obstruct the free passage of vehicular or pedestrian traffic;
(2) impedes or may reasonably be expected to impede ADA-required pedestrian access; or
(3) poses a risk to persons traversing streets, paths, or sidewalks in the immediate area.

A violation under this section does not require proof of actual injury or endangerment; a reasonable likelihood of harm based on objective, observable conditions is sufficient.
(c) Fire and flammability hazard. It shall be a violation of this section for any property owner or occupant to tolerate, allow, or permit any hedge, tree, shrub, or other vegetation of flammable character to be maintained within twenty (20) feet of any dwelling or other structure used for human habitation where the vegetation is dead, dying, or inadequately maintained, such that it presents a fire hazard. (d) Obstruction of traffic control devices, address numbers, and emergency access.

It shall be a violation of this section for any property owner or occupant to tolerate, allow, or permit any hedge or vegetation to obstruct the clear visibility from the public right-of-way of any traffic control device, property address numbers, or fire hydrants, or to obstruct emergency responder access to the property.
4-38.04 Maintenance and Encroachment
(a) Maintenance required. All hedges on any property within the City, regardless of zone, shall remain free of overgrown, unsightly or hazardous conditions and be maintained at all times. Maintenance includes regular trimming to prevent overgrowth beyond permitted heights, repair or removal of damaged or structurally unsound sections, and removal of debris or dead vegetation.

Maintenance violations that affect utilities or the public right-of-way are enforceable by a complaint submitted by a Bona Fide Complainant or by cityinitiated action where the condition constitutes a Critical and/or Urgent Violation. (b) No encroachment onto public right-of-way. No hedge shall encroach into, over, or upon any public sidewalk, parkway, alley, street, or other public right-of-way.

Encroachment onto the public right-of-way constitutes a Critical and/or Urgent Violation enforceable by the City without a complaint submitted by a Bona Fide Complainant.
4-38.05 Enforcement
(a) General. Enforcement of the height and location standards of this section shall be primarily complaint-driven for violations that are not Critical and/or Urgent Violations. Nothing in this subsection restricts any person's right to petition the City or submit information to City staff, nor does anything in this subsection limit 756
ORDINANCE NO. 3317-26

HEDGE ORDINANCE
Page No. 6
the City's enforcement authority for Critical and/or Urgent Violations as defined in section 4-38.02, for violations described in Section 4-38.03, or for violations of RBMC §4-10.02 or any other applicable provision of this Code or local, state, or federal law.
(b) Bona Fide Complainant requirement — non-Critical and/or Urgent Violations.

Absent a written complaint submitted by a Bona Fide Complainant as defined in section 4-38.02, the City has no duty to investigate a violation that is not a Critical and/or Urgent Violation. The submission of a complaint by a Bona Fide Complainant does not, standing alone, obligate the City to initiate enforcement action; the City retains full discretion, after an investigation, whether to initiate enforcement action under this section. Anonymous complaints and complaints from persons who do not qualify as Bona Fide Complainants may be logged for informational purposes but do not obligate the City to initiate an investigation or formal enforcement action.
(c) City discretion — Critical and/or Urgent Violations. The City retains full discretion whether to initiate enforcement action for Critical and/or Urgent Violations. (d) 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 by the alleged violation. The City reserves the right to decline to pursue enforcement where it determines that a complaint has been submitted for an improper purpose, including without limitation harassment of a property owner or an attempt to manipulate City enforcement resources for purposes unrelated to the welfare of the complaining party. A pattern of complaints by the same complainant targeting multiple unrelated properties in different parts of the City within a short period of time is a factor the City may consider in evaluating whether a complaint was submitted for an improper purpose.
4-38.06 Notice and Opportunity to Cure
(a) Standard notice procedure. Prior to initiating formal enforcement proceedings for a violation that is not a Critical and/or Urgent Violation, the City shall provide the property owner with written notice of the alleged violation. The notice shall:
(1) Identify the specific provision(s) of this chapter, Title 10, or other applicable provision of this Code alleged to be violated;
(2) Describe the condition constituting the alleged violation with reasonable specificity;
(3) State the corrective action required to achieve compliance; (4) Provide a minimum of sixty (60) days from the first date of notice to achieve voluntary compliance; and
757
ORDINANCE NO. 3317-26

HEDGE ORDINANCE
Page No. 7
(5) Advise the property owner of the right to contact the City to discuss the alleged violation and to submit information or evidence relevant to the enforcement determination.
(b) Critical and/or Urgent Violations. The notice and cure period in subsection (a) shall not apply to Critical and/or Urgent Violations. For such violations, the City may proceed to enforcement upon such notice as is reasonable under the circumstances.
(c) No waiver. The provision of notice under subsection (a) shall not be construed as a waiver of any enforcement right or remedy available to the City. 4-38.07 Penalties — Infractions and Misdemeanors
(a) Classification. Violations of this chapter are offenses that may be prosecuted as either an infraction or a misdemeanor, in the discretion of the City Attorney's Office, depending on the nature, severity, circumstances, and history of the violation, consistent with RBMC §1-2.01(b). Penalties shall be assessed consistent with RBMC §1-2.02.
(b) Cumulative violations. Each day that a violation of this chapter continues after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period constitutes a separate offense.
(c) Preservation of remedies. Nothing in this chapter limits the authority of the City to pursue abatement, civil penalties, injunctive relief, or any other remedy available under this Code or applicable local, state, or federal law. Nothing in this chapter limits the rights of any person to pursue any civil or other remedy available under California law or any other applicable law. Enforcement under this chapter does not preclude concurrent or subsequent enforcement under RBMC §4-10.02 or any other applicable provision of this Code or local, state, or federal law.” SECTION 2. INCONSISTENT PROVISIONS. Any provisions of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code, or appendices thereto, or any other ordinances of the City inconsistent herewith, to the extent of such inconsistencies and no further, are hereby repealed.

SECTION 3. SEVERANCE. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of the ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, and phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid or unconstitutional.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Under the City Charter, the salary for elected officials must be set at least 30 days prior to the nomination period for a new four-year term. It cannot be increased or decreased from that point until the completion of the subsequent four-year term. The filing period for the March 2027 election will open on November 9, 2026. Therefore, adjustments to salaries, if any, must be codified in an adopted ordinance no later than October 6, 2026.

At their meeting on September 8, 2026, the City Council reviewed the salary of the Mayor, City Council, City Clerk, and City Treasurer positions and considered recommendations from the Budget and Finance Commission. During the meeting, the City Council discussed the need to ensure the

Page 1 of 4 ends

774
H.19., File # 26-1141 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
and Finance Commission. During the meeting, the City Council discussed the need to ensure the salaries are appropriately set to attract a broad and competitive candidate pool for the positions and that they do not discourage prospective candidates given the time commitment that is required to effectively perform the duties of each elected role. At the conclusion of the discussion, the City Council directed ordinances be prepared to adjust the salaries of the identified positions at the beginning of their next term. For the District 3 and 5 City Councilmember positions, as well as the City Clerk and City Treasurer positions, new terms start in April 2027. For the Mayor and District 1, 2, and 4 Councilmember positions, the new terms start in April 2029.

The various position’s initial salary adjustments are clarified in the chart below:

Position From To Percentage
Change
Effective Date
Mayor $1669.16/mo $2003.00/mo 20% April 1, 2029
City Council
(District 3 & 5)
$1669.16/mo $2003.00/mo 20% April 1, 2027
City Council
(District 1, 2 & 4)
$1669.16/mo $2003.00/mo 20% April 1, 2029
City Clerk $11,540.35/mo $12,694.40/mo 10% April 1, 2027 City Treasurer $2083.33/mo $2291.68/mo 10% April 1, 2027 As was noted during the September 8 discussion, adjustments of Mayor and Councilmember salaries are regulated statewide by SB 329 and Government Code Section 36516. A question was raised regarding specific language in the Government Code that states “No ordinance shall be enacted or amended to provide automatic future increases in salary.” After reviewing this language, the City Attorney’s Office has determined that the 3% adjustments proposed in years 2, 3 and 4 for the future Mayor and City Councilmember terms are not allowed. Accordingly, these adjustments have been removed from the Ordinances prepared for Introduction and first reading. The Ordinances pertaining to City Clerk and Treasurer salaries are unaffected and remain as directed on September 8.

Attached for consideration of introduction and first reading are four proposed ordinances that, if approved, would codify salary adjustments for the City’s elected Mayor, Councilmember, Clerk, and Treasurer positions beginning with each new four-year term.

BACKGROUND
Mayor and City Council Positions:

The compensation and benefits for the Mayor and City Councilmembers is specified in the Municipal Code and established by the City Council via ordinance. Previously, the pay for the Mayor and City Councilmembers had not increased since 2007 and was set at $927.31 per month ($11,127.72 per year). The compensation was reviewed by the City Council biannually between 2008 and 2022 with adjustments last being made in 2022 to $1669.16 per month ($20,030/year). The Mayor and City Council also receive deferred compensation in the amount of 12% of their salary, and the same fringe benefits provided to Management and Confidential employees.

The City Charter requires that any changes to the Mayor or City Council’s salary must be made at least 30 days prior to the nomination period for a new four-year term. Government Code Section 36516 lays out regulations for general law cities regarding how Councilmember salaries may be

Page 2 of 4 ends

775
H.19., File # 26-1141 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
36516 lays out regulations for general law cities regarding how Councilmember salaries may be adjusted. Also, the Redondo Beach City Charter states that Mayor and Council salaries shall be set by ordinance in conformance with the above Government Code section.

Previously, Government Code section 36516 outlined a formula for increases based on population size and limited them to 5% per year based on the date of the last increase. In 2024, the State Legislature amended the Government Code via Senate Bill 329 in order to increase diversity on City Councils statewide, by allowing the Consumer Price Index to be used as an option for making adjustments, in order to keep up with inflation.

As there is an automatic four-year gap between salary adjustments due to the City’s process, the Mayor and Councilmember salaries are eligible to be increased by 20% for the next respective term.

At their meeting of September 8, 2026, the City Council directed staff to prepare ordinances to implement increases of 20% for the Mayor and City Council positions as follows:

City Council Districts 3 and 5: 20% increase effective April 1, 2027 Mayor and City Council Districts 1, 2 and 4: 20% increase effective April 1, 2029 The City Council also voted to provide a subsequent 3% increase to the Mayor and Councilmember positions effective years two through four of the upcoming new term. However, as noted above, due to language in Section 5 of Government Code Section 36516, the City Council will have to consider those increases at a future date.

City Clerk Position: The compensation and benefits for the City Clerk was last set via Ordinance 3246-22, which was adopted in 2022. The Ordinance established the City Clerk salary with yearly adjustments from 2023 through 2026. Effective April 1, 2026, the salary has been set at $11,540.35 per month.

The City Charter requires that any changes to the City Clerk’s salary must also be made at least 30 days prior to the nomination period for a new four-year term. It cannot be increased or decreased from that point until the completion of a subsequent four-year term.

The elected City Clerk position is considered a full-time department head position, oversees four full time employees, and is responsible for stand-alone elections, records management, City Council and agency agendas and minutes, administering the Commission appointment process, maintaining the City’s legislative history and several other functions.

At their meeting of September 8, 2026, the City Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance to increase the City Clerk salary by 10% effective April 1 2027 (to $12,694.40/month) with additional 3% increases each year in 2028, 2029, and 2030. Per ordinance, the City Clerk position receives the same benefits as the Management and Confidential Employee Unit. No changes to these benefits are currently being proposed.

City Treasurer Position: On June 3, 2014, the City Council reduced the salary for the City Treasurer position from $9,746 per month ($116,952 annually) to $2083.33 per month ($25,000 annually) in conjunction with a City Charter amendment that removed the full-time status of the City Treasurer position and made it a part-time position. The salary has been reviewed each four-year cycle since 2014, but has not been adjusted since that date.

H.19., File # 26-1141 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
The elected City Treasurer position is considered a part time department head position, oversees one full-time employee, with the primary responsibility for managing City investments along with the audit of tax-based revenue sources.

At their meeting of September 8, 2026, the City Council directed staff to prepare an ordinance to increase the City Treasurer salary by 10% effective April 1 2027 (to $2291.68/month) with additional 3% increases each year in 2028, 2029 and 2030. Per ordinance, the City Treasurer position receives the same benefits as the Management and Confidential Employee Unit. No changes to these benefits are currently being proposed.

COORDINATION
The Human Resources Department coordinated this report with the Finance Department and the City Attorney’s Office

FISCAL IMPACT
The first of the proposed increases will take place on April 1, 2027, with three months remaining in the fiscal year. The estimated fiscal impact in FY 2026-2027 is roughly $7,500 for the four seats being adjusted April 1, 2027. Compensation changes affecting future fiscal years will be included in future operating budgets.

OF THE MAYOR
WHEREAS, Council and Mayoral service requires Councilmembers and the Mayor to maintain direct channels of communication with constituents — including newsletters, digital outreach tools, and other means of public engagement — reflecting an expansion in the practical scope and personal financial cost of the office since compensation was last adjusted in 2022; and

This report provides the fourth update to the current Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND
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.

DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE SEASIDE LAGOON REHABILITATION

PROJECT

APPROVE THE FINAL PREPARATION AND SUBMITTAL OF A COASTAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT

APPLICATION TO THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION FOR THE SEASIDE LAGOON REHABILITATION PROJECT AT 200 PORTOFINO WAY

APPROVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL EXEMPTION DECLARATION FOR THE PROJECT

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City is proposing the rehabilitation and modernization of Seaside Lagoon to replace aging infrastructure, address current water quality and public health requirements, and maintain the facility's longstanding function as a low-cost public waterfront recreational amenity. Following extensive community outreach, engineering and cost analysis, and regulatory review, in April 2026 the City Council directed staff to proceed with a project scope that can be delivered within available funding while maintaining the project's primary recreational and Measure C objectives.

The proposed project includes a new five-foot-deep recirculating recreational lagoon with beach areas, sand entry and water play features, a new mechanical building with contemporary water filtration and pump equipment, a new restroom facility, upgraded utilities and infrastructure, ADAaccessibility improvements, enhanced fencing, new shade structures, landscaping, and other site improvements.

The lagoon is within the CA Coastal Commission’s jurisdiction and requires approval of a coastal development permit (CDP). In order to complete construction of the Seaside Lagoon Rehabilitation Project prior to the start of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games, the CDP must be approved in early 2027.

On August 25, 2026, the Harbor Commission held a special meeting to review the project scope and environmental determination and received public testimony. As discussed in greater detail below, the Harbor Commission voted to find that the project design, as presented, is consistent with the applicable CEQA exemption determinations. Separately the commission voted to recommend the City Council not proceed with the current project design. The Commission instead recommended the City Council 1) pursue the design initially approved in 2024, which included greater water depth, a sand bottom, saltwater, and year-round activation amenities; 2) accommodate State guidelines for

Page 1 of 14 ends

806
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
sand bottom, saltwater, and year-round activation amenities; 2) accommodate State guidelines for 2050 sea level rise; and 3) seek an extension of the related State grant.

Staff recommends advancing the project scope (as designed and discussed in April 2026) and submitting the corresponding CDP application to the California Coastal Commission. Following submission of the CDP application, staff will work with Commission personnel to address any public access, water quality, hazard, or sea level rise considerations/modifications that arise during the entitlement review. Any refinements to the project requested by the Commission will be presented to the City Council for final confirmation.

BACKGROUND
Seaside Lagoon is a City-owned recreational facility located within King Harbor at 200 Portofino Way within the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (P-PRO) zone in the coastal zone. Constructed in 1962, Seaside Lagoon has served the residents of Redondo Beach, the greater Los Angeles area, and visitors from throughout California. Seaside Lagoon is open to the public between the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day every year. For the 2026 summer season, the Lagoon received over 50,219 visitors, and over 100 reservations for camp and summer program activities.

The facility consists of a man-made, tidally-influenced saltwater swimming lagoon, sandy beach areas, picnic facilities, playgrounds, restroom facilities, and other visitor-serving recreational amenities. The Seaside Lagoon has operated seasonally as a public swimming facility for decades and is a long-standing defining feature of King Harbor. The facility's original infrastructure including its seawater intake, discharge, and chemical treatment systems have reached the end of their useful life. Continued maintenance of these structures has become increasingly difficult and costly. The systems do not allow for modern water circulation and filtration and rely on the intake and discharge of millions of gallons of ocean water each day. The antiquated systems predate modern water quality discharge requirements and frequently expose the City to violations and fines that are administered by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board). Accordingly, the City has been evaluating and seeking funding for long-term site rehabilitation alternatives for the Seaside Lagoon for nearly two decades. The most recent planning and community outreach efforts for reconstruction of the Lagoon are outlined below.
2021-2022: Waterfront Public Amenities Planning and Community Outreach The City began planning for the rehabilitation of Seaside Lagoon in 2021 as part of the King Harbor Public Amenities Plan, with extensive community engagement including pop-ups, community meetings and online surveys. Outreach continued through 2022 and included multiple public meetings and events, with hundreds of residents and stakeholders participating in the feedback process. These outreach efforts considered a range of potential aquatic amenities and improvements to Seaside Lagoon.
2022-2023: Transition to Seaside Lagoon Project Design
Following the broader waterfront amenities planning process, the City moved into the design and engineering phase for the Seaside Lagoon project. The City Council approved the Lagoon’s design RFP in May 2022, received three qualified proposals, and selected NUVIS to lead the design, engineering, environmental review and entitlement process. The City and NUVIS then began project -specific community engagement and design development in 2023.

807
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
2023-2024: Project-Specific Community Outreach
The City continued public engagement as the Lagoon design developed, including pop-up events, stakeholder meetings and Harbor Commission subcommittee meetings. A December 2023 community workshop specifically explored potential year-round amenities, including lap swimming and various wave-oriented concepts. This outreach informed the development of multiple conceptual design alternatives and refinement of the preferred project scope. 2024-2025: Harbor Commission and Council Review
The Harbor Commission considered the Seaside Lagoon project on September 9, 2024. At the meeting, the Commission discussed the various design options, including the style and orientation of new potential restroom, locker, office and cabana buildings, the configuration of a new promenade, alternative water sources, and the possibility and cost of a wave making feature. The Commission ultimately voted 7-0 to recommend that the City Council pursue a complete renovation of Seaside Lagoon using a phased approach, with Building Placement Option 2 and Promenade Design Option

2. The Commission’s recommendation was for a complete, multi-phased renovation, recognizing that the City would need to construct the project in phases as funding became available. The September 2024 staff report estimated the cost to construct the selected design at approximately $31.1 million, while Phase 1 was estimated at approximately $7.0 million. The concept contemplated obtaining entitlements for the entire project while using the funding available at the time to construct Phase 1.

On October 15, 2024, the City Council reviewed multiple conceptual alternatives, and, in alignment with the Harbor Commission’s recommendation, directed staff to continue development of “Design Option 2”, which envisioned a combined recreational lagoon and lap swimming facility integrated within a single water feature together with associated recreational amenities, and a two-story building to hold administrative and lifeguard offices.

The direction provided by Council in 2024 was not based on a construction-ready design. It was direction to proceed with the selected design concept, pursue entitlements, and to begin developing more refined project plans and specifications and associated construction cost estimates. That distinction is important because many of the issues that ultimately changed the project scope could not be fully evaluated until the design was developed further and more specific feedback from staff at the applicable regulatory agencies was provided.
2025-2026: Refined Project Engineering and Regulatory Review As engineering and budget assessments advanced, several factors required modification of the original concept:
· Coordination with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health determined that the lap pool and recreational lagoon could not operate as the combined water feature contemplated in the 2024 concept. The two uses would need to be physically separated, with significant decking setbacks and fencing between them. Incorporating the health department requirements into the project design substantially increased the cost of providing both a separate lap pool and recreational lagoon. By 2026, the estimated cost for the updated Phase 1 configuration exceeded $16 million.
· Additionally, geotechnical investigations identified a high groundwater table that limited the

Page 3 of 14 ends

808
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
· Additionally, geotechnical investigations identified a high groundwater table that limited the feasibility of excavating the lagoon to its current and desired depth. The design team determined that excavation beyond approximately 3.5 feet of depth, would encounter significant groundwater and result in substantial dewatering requirements and associated construction costs. The cost and variability of dewatering was one of the critical reasons for ultimately refining the project scope. The potential need to construct and install a sheet-pile system was also a major concern.

At the time these engineering determinations were made, the City had approximately $7.9 million remaining in the project account and it was clear the lagoon could not be constructed at its current depth nor include a separate lap pool within budget. As such, staff and NUVIS revisited the design and identified what could realistically be built using the available funds.

April 2026: City Council Direction
On April 21, 2026, the City Council considered the updated project scope, construction cost estimates, and level of available funding for the Seaside Lagoon Rehabilitation Project. Following discussion, the City Council directed staff to proceed with a reduced project scope that was within available funding and achieved the project's principal objectives, including modernization of the Lagoon's aging infrastructure, compliance with current water quality and public health standards, consistency with Measure C, and completion of construction prior to the 2028 Olympic Games. The Council also discussed identifying additional funds (and later appropriated QUIMBY monies) to support building the lagoon to a depth of five feet (by increasing the decking height), include a prefabricated restroom with two unisex stalls in the project, upgrade the facility’s perimeter fencing with an eight-foot-tall tube steel fence, and to include a sand entry in and around the lagoon’s water feature.

August 2026: Harbor Commission Special Meeting
The Harbor Commission held a special meeting on August 25, 2026, to review the Seaside Lagoon Rehabilitation Project. City staff and the City's consultants presented the project history, existing site conditions and constraints, and the updated design elements following Council's April discussion, including the revised lagoon depth, new pump and filtration building, restroom facility, perimeter fencing, and related site improvements.

Following the discussion, the Harbor Commission voted 7-0 to find that the project design, as presented, was consistent with the applicable California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption determinations. The Commission separately voted 7-0 to recommend the City Council not proceed with the design as presented.

Instead, the Harbor Commission recommended the City continue to pursue the design initially approved in 2024, including greater water depth, a sand-bottom lagoon, saltwater, and year-round activation amenities. The Commission also recommended the Project accommodate the State's 2050 sea level rise guidelines and the City Council seek an extension of the related State grant.

Project Design
The proposed project replaces the aging seawater lagoon and supporting infrastructure with a modern recreational swimming lagoon that complies with current public health, safety, accessibility, and water quality standards. The project is designed to improve the year-round functionality of the site, while maintaining expansive public open space and creating flexible areas capable of

Page 4 of 14 ends

809
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
accommodating passive recreation, community gatherings, and special events.

The architecture and site design were developed to enhance the waterfront recreational facility with high-quality public spaces through the integration of recreational amenities, landscaping, and architecturally compatible buildings. The proposed improvements maintain the open character of the site, strengthen connections to the Harbor waterfront, and enhance accessibility throughout the facility through new pedestrian pathways, plazas, and gathering areas.

The existing seawater lagoon would be replaced with a new recirculating recreational lagoon utilizing a closed-loop filtration and treatment system. The lagoon is designed with a walk-in sand beach entry along the northern shoreline that gradually transitions into a deeper swimming area on the harbor side with a maximum water depth of five feet and a plaster-finished bottom. A submerged dividing wall separates the shallow sand-bottom recreation area from the deeper swimming area with a line of buoys located above the dividing wall to clearly identify the transition for users. Sand beaches surrounding the majority of the lagoon are included to create a natural beach environment while maintaining a defined swimming area. The project also includes new water play features, improved pathway circulation around the lagoon perimeter, enhanced landscape and hardscape, and expanded opportunities for recreational use.

Figure 1: Lagoon Cross-Section
In addition to the lagoon improvements, the project includes construction of a new 2,660-square-foot, approximately 18.5-foot-tall pump station and equipment building to house the mechanical, filtration, and water treatment systems required to operate the recirculating lagoon. A new two-sided restroom building is also proposed to serve both Seaside Lagoon patrons and visitors utilizing the adjacent Harbor waterfront promenade and public boat launch. The architectural design of these buildings incorporates articulated façades with white painted brick, standing seam metal roofs, coordinated exterior materials that will complement the existing structure, and architectural detailing that complement the surrounding Harbor environment while maintaining a low-profile scale appropriate for the waterfront setting. Supporting infrastructure improvements include new utilities, drainage facilities, grading, lighting, electrical improvements, and other infrastructure necessary for the longterm operation of the facility.

The project substantially enhances the lagoon adjacent recreational facilities through the addition of ADA-accessible pedestrian pathways, ADA-compliant ramping into the Lagoon water, plaza areas, a 12-foot-tall luau shade shelter, picnic and barbecue facilities, seating areas, decorative paving, improved perimeter fencing, and removable partition fencing that allows the water area to be separated and secured when not in operation, and allowing public access to the surrounding sand areas adjacent to the waterfront. Extensive landscape improvements include new trees, shrubs, irrigation, and natural grass areas to enhance the visual quality of the site, and provide additional

Page 5 of 14 ends

810
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
irrigation, and natural grass areas to enhance the visual quality of the site, and provide additional shade.

Figure 2 - Seaside Lagoon Fencing
Implementation of the project requires demolition and replacement of portions of the existing lagoon infrastructure, including removal of the existing lagoon basin, mechanical equipment, additional restroom facilities, fencing, hardscape improvements, selected landscaping, and associated site improvements. Existing sand will be relocated and reused where feasible, mature palm trees will be preserved or relocated where practical, and new landscaping will be installed throughout the project area. The project has been designed to minimize impacts to existing recreational facilities while preserving significant landscape features wherever feasible.

Overall, the proposed improvements will transform Seaside Lagoon into a modern, year-round waterfront recreational destination while preserving its role as a public swimming and beach recreation facility. As depicted in the project plans and architectural renderings, the project combines contemporary coastal architecture, high-quality landscape design, enhanced public amenities, environmentally compliant and sustainable operational systems, and upgraded recreational facilities in a cohesive waterfront environment. The project preserves public views toward King Harbor and the Pacific Ocean, maintains human-powered watercraft access to the Harbor, improves accessibility and visitor comfort, and provides modern infrastructure capable of supporting the continued operation of Seaside Lagoon in compliance with current public health, safety, and environmental regulations, and consistent with the City's King Harbor Amenities Plan and Measure C.

Measure C Compliance
The project is designed for consistency with the voter-approved requirements of Measure C, which amended the Public, Recreation and Open Space (P-PRO) regulations applicable to the Seaside Lagoon Regional Park. Measure C requires that if the existing saltwater swimming facility is replaced for water quality purposes, it be replaced with a recreational swimming facility of at least equivalent water surface area that complies with applicable public health, safety, and environmental regulations while preserving the park's primary recreational amenities, including the sandy beach, volleyball

Page 6 of 14 ends

811
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
while preserving the park's primary recreational amenities, including the sandy beach, volleyball courts, picnic and barbecue areas, play equipment, luau shelter, restroom facilities, human-powered watercraft access, and public open space. The proposed project satisfies these requirements by replacing the existing lagoon with a modern recreational swimming facility of equivalent surface area that complies with current public health and water quality standards, preserves the site's recreational function and visitor-serving amenities, maintains public access and open space, and continues Seaside Lagoon's long-standing role as a premier waterfront recreational destination.

Coastal Access
The proposed project maintains and enhances public coastal access by improving pedestrian circulation, accessibility, and visitor-serving amenities without restricting access to the Harbor or waterfront promenade. Improvements include new ADA-accessible pathways, plazas, landscaping, and reconfigurable fencing that allows greater year-round public access to the park and lawn space when the lagoon is not in operation. The project also includes a new two-sided restroom building that will serve both Seaside Lagoon patrons and the general public accessing the waterfront promenade.

Staff finds the project improves public coastal access and is consistent with the public access policies of the Coastal Act.

Noise
The project consists of rehabilitation of the existing Seaside Lagoon and replacement of aging infrastructure, including the lagoon, pump building, restroom facilities, shade structures, landscaping, and site improvements. The project does not increase the intensity or capacity of the existing recreational use and is not expected to generate additional long-term operational noise. Construction -related noise will be temporary and subject to applicable City regulations.

Parking
The proposed improvements modernize the existing Seaside Lagoon without expanding its recreational use or increasing visitor capacity. The project does not introduce new commercial uses or development that would increase parking demand. Existing public parking facilities serving King Harbor and Seaside Lagoon will continue to accommodate the project. Staff finds the project will not result in significant parking impacts.

Traffic/Pedestrian Access
The project replaces and upgrades existing recreational facilities without increasing the intensity of use or generating additional vehicle trips. Improvements include ADA-accessible walkways, enhanced pedestrian connections, new plazas, landscaping, and improved circulation throughout the site. These improvements enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility while maintaining existing traffic patterns. Staff finds the project will not result in significant traffic impacts and will improve pedestrian access to Seaside Lagoon, the waterfront promenade, and adjacent Harbor amenities.

Environmental Status
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction). The project consists of the rehabilitation and modernization of the existing Seaside Lagoon through the replacement of aging recreational infrastructure, including the lagoon, pump building, water treatment systems, restroom facilities, utilities, hardscape, and landscaping, while maintaining the existing recreational use and operational capacity of the site. The replacement improvements will serve substantially the same purpose at the same location and do not result in an expansion of the facility or its intensity of use. Staff has also determined that none of the exceptions Page 7 of 14 812
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
expansion of the facility or its intensity of use. Staff has also determined that none of the exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.

At its August 25, 2026 special meeting, the Harbor Commission considered the CEQA determination as part of its review of the project and voted 7-0 to recommend the Council approve the CEQA Exemption Declaration.

Project Questions
During the August 2026 Special Meeting of the Harbor Commission, questions arose regarding certain elements of the Seaside Lagoon rehabilitation project. Those questions are answered below.

Does the Seaside Lagoon Rehabilitation Project accommodate 2050 Sea Level Rise Guidelines?
The Project is subject to, and will be evaluated for consistency with the California Commission’s 2024 Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance and the California Ocean Protection Council’s 2024 State Sea Level Rise Guidance. Staff have met with Coastal Commission personnel to discuss the Project’s compliance with these Guidelines. The discussions with coastal staff indicate the proposed Seaside Lagoon Project design will comply. It is important to note that the State guidance does not establish a single elevation that projects must meet by 2050. Rather, it provides a range of scenarios and recommends that projects consider location, anticipated service life, potential consequences of flooding or failure, and the ability to adapt over time.

For the Los Angeles tide-gauge area, the guidance projects approximately 0.4 to 1.1 feet of sea level rise by 2050, relative to the year 2000, and approximately 0.6 to 6.3 feet by 2100 depending on the scenario. The guidance therefore emphasizes an adaptive approach for projects with long service lives rather than requiring projects to be constructed initially to accommodate the highest projection in year 2100.

The current sand bottom Seaside Lagoon is excavated to provide roughly 8 feet of water depth when full. The concrete liner of the new Lagoon is expected to be roughly 4 feet higher than the current excavated depth of the facility and include approximately 2 feet of sub material. In 2019 Pace conducted a study that showed the Lagoon maintains approximately 2 feet of tidally influenced water during the offseason. Accordingly, the concrete liner and base for the new lagoon are planned to be built above this elevation. If the mean tide line rises a full foot over the next 25 years, a portion of the sub material will be subjected to periodic ground water. The concrete liner should however remain above the mean high tide line.

The Seaside Lagoon Project does not include an adjustment to the existing seawall or bulkhead, so no specific construction is proposed for those features to accommodate 2050 sea level rise projections. However, it is important to note the Lagoon’s structural design incorporates a pressurerelief system to address elevated groundwater pressures and buoyancy during significant groundwater events, providing added resilience as groundwater conditions change over time. The design also accommodates future adaptation measures that could be constructed should sea level rise become a significant operational concern. These include raising or modifying the bulkhead or coping, improving backflow protection, and relocating or adapting ancillary facilities as conditions warrant.

In short, the project is designed to meet current sea level conditions and accommodate an

Page 8 of 14 ends

813
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
In short, the project is designed to meet current sea level conditions and accommodate an appropriate initial sea level rise planning horizon, while preserving the ability to implement additional adaptation measures if needed, as sea level rise occurs. The California Coastal Commission will evaluate the Project’s proposed sea level rise strategies as part of the CDP review process.

What will be the impact to the Lagoon during storm surges, and how will the project protect the Lagoon's structural integrity?
The proposed Lagoon is designed to withstand significant storm-related groundwater fluctuations through a pressure-relief system incorporated into the Lagoon structure. This system will allow elevated groundwater pressure beneath the concrete shell to dissipate, reducing upward buoyant forces and protecting the structural integrity of the Lagoon during significant groundwater events.

Storm surge and sea level rise present related but distinct engineering considerations. Sea level rise is a gradual increase in coastal water levels over time, while a major storm can temporarily increase both coastal and groundwater elevations. Because the proposed Lagoon is a below-grade, concretelined structure, elevated groundwater beneath the Lagoon can create hydrostatic pressure and upward buoyant forces.

NUVIS evaluated this condition using the project’s geotechnical information and determined that, during a significant groundwater surge, portions of a deeper Lagoon could experience buoyancy forces greater than the self-weight of the concrete bottom. Under the current analysis, areas deeper than approximately 2.33 feet would require additional buoyancy protection.

Three preliminary approaches were evaluated to address this condition:
· Tiedown piles: Mechanically anchor the Lagoon structure to resist upward buoyant forces.

NUVIS' preliminary order-of-magnitude cost was approximately $53.89 per square foot. · Structural concrete system: Construct two 12-inch concrete slabs connected by approximately 18-inch square concrete columns, with the intervening space infilled with concrete to provide additional structural weight. The preliminary order-of-magnitude cost was approximately $113.70 per square foot.
· Pressure-relief system: Use a lighter concrete slab incorporating pressure-relief valves to allow groundwater pressure beneath the Lagoon structure to dissipate during an elevated groundwater condition. This is the option included in the proposed design and has cost of approximately $29.89 per square foot.

Based on current site conditions, geotechnical information, and engineering evaluation, NUVIS is incorporating the pressure-relief approach into the design. The system addresses the identified buoyancy condition by allowing groundwater pressure beneath the Lagoon to dissipate rather than relying solely on additional structural weight or mechanical anchoring. It also provides resilience as groundwater conditions change over the life of the project.

The design team also evaluated permanent subdrainage beneath the Lagoon. Because the Lagoon structure is above the anticipated normal groundwater table, a subdrainage system would primarily operate only during unusual groundwater surges and would require pumps and associated infrastructure that would need to be maintained despite limited normal use. Based on the current

Page 9 of 14 ends

814
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
infrastructure that would need to be maintained despite limited normal use. Based on the current groundwater conditions and engineering evaluation, NUVIS does not recommend permanent subdrainage as part of the final design.

Can the Seaside Lagoon be designed as a saltwater amenity, and how would the cost compare with a chlorinated freshwater system?
The Seaside Lagoon could potentially be designed as a saltwater system, but it would be subject to significant regulatory challenges as compared to a fresh water system. In this context, “saltwater” would refer to a conventional saltwater pool system, rather than a system using seawater. A saltwater pool uses water with a relatively low concentration of dissolved salt and an electrolytic chlorine-generation system to produce chlorine for disinfection. The system remains a recirculating pool system and would not have the salinity of ocean water.

Converting the currently proposed chlorinated freshwater recirculating system to a saltwater system is technically feasible, though cost and discharge requirements may create regulatory constraints and operational consequences. Based on preliminary estimates from the design team, a saltwater system would add approximately $150,000 to $200,000 in initial construction costs. Ongoing operating costs are expected to be higher than a traditional chlorine system but would depend on the type of system selected and the amount of required salt, replacement of electrolytic cells, increased equipment maintenance, effectiveness of corrosion-resistant components, additional water-quality monitoring, and other potential maintenance requirements.

The more significant consideration is water discharge for both routine filter backwash and evacuation of pool water in significant volume. The proposed Lagoon is designed as a closed, recirculating system, substantially reducing the need for high volume discharge and eliminating the historical direct discharge to King Harbor. While a saltwater system would also be recirculating, the addition of salt introduces an additional water-quality consideration whenever Lagoon water must be discharged.

Discharge of salt water from the lagoon to the environment (street, storm drain or directly to the harbor) is in violation of the City’s Municipal Code and strictly prohibited by State Law without a discharge permit from the Regional Board, which is in contradiction to project goals to no longer be obligated by such a permit.

The new system must be designed to discharge to the City’s sewer collection system. Discharge to the City’s sewer system is regulated by the City and by the Sanitation District of Los Angeles County, the agency that manages municipal sewage transmission, treatment, and eventual ocean discharge for much of the county.

The City has not yet quantitatively evaluated impacts of salt water brine from both the lagoon and filter backwash water to its sewage infrastructure, primarily the Portofino Pump Station located just outside of the entrance to the facility. Salt water, in anticipated concentrations, is markedly more corrosive than fresh (chlorinated) water and would likely reduce the life span (and therefore reliability) of Portofino Pump Station’s mechanical and electrical components. The pump station was just rebuilt, but not with regular concentrations of saltwater in mind. More work is needed to quantify the impacts of a salt water system on City infrastructure, especially the Portofino Pump Station, but qualitatively staff anticipates increased expense in maintenance and operations of the sewer system under a salt water scenario.

Page 10 of 14 ends

815
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
The Sanitation District must operate under its NPDES discharge permit, which is also regulated by the Regional Board. Under current Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board requirements of that permit, dechlorinated swimming-pool water may be discharged through the municipal storm drain system when specified water-quality and best-management-practice requirements are satisfied.

These requirements address chlorine, pH, pollutants, and total dissolved solids, including salts. In addition to these discharge parameters, pool water from systems commonly referred to as “saltwater pools” may not contain salt concentrations that exceed applicable water-quality objectives. Largevolume discharges are also subject to additional discharge-management and notification requirements.

These parameters should be considered a minimum standard from the Sanitation District, but more specific standards may apply. For instance, the County’s Public Works Department, where it serves as the authority having jurisdiction over the sewer collection system, does not allow discharge of saltwater from pools to the sewer system and significantly controls the manner and requirements of discharge of fresh water from pool facilities. Although the County Public Works Department is a legally sperate agency than the Sanitation District, these agencies share employees, and therefore concerns and have adopted a strict “no” policy when it comes to discharge of salt water to the sewer system. More work needs to be done as design develops to understand specific application of Sanitation District standards and regulatory constraints to this project, but it will not likely result in an operationally simple or economical advantage for the City.

The restrictions to be imposed by the Sanitation District will result in an important operational distinction between the two systems. With the proposed freshwater system, the City would manage the water-quality requirements associated with a conventional chlorinated recirculating pool. A saltwater system would add salt concentration as another parameter that must be monitored and managed before water could be discharged. This could become particularly significant when the Lagoon needs to be partially or fully drained for major maintenance, repairs, or other circumstances requiring the removal of a substantial volume of water. The City would need to confirm that the salt concentration of the discharged water complies with applicable water-quality requirements or constraints and identify an alternative approved method of disposal if needed (e.g. tanker truck).

The discharge issue is particularly relevant given the City's experience with the existing Lagoon's historic flow-through system and its associated NPDES requirements. One of the objectives of the proposed rehabilitation is to move away from that direct-discharge model and establish a more manageable, closed recirculating system. Introducing salt into the new system would not recreate the historical system, but it would reintroduce an additional water-quality consideration and uncertainty that the freshwater system avoids.

For these reasons, while a saltwater system is possible, the currently proposed freshwater recirculating system provides a more straightforward approach from a regulatory and long-term operational perspective. The estimated $150,000 to $200,000 initial construction premium for a saltwater system is just the initial cost. Lifecycle cost increases would also need to be considered together with the additional water-quality monitoring, discharge management, and operational considerations associated with managing salt in the Lagoon water.

What is the ongoing operational cost associated with the new Seaside Lagoon design, and how does it compare with current costs?

N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
The new Lagoon, as proposed, is expected to have a positive net annual impact on the City’s Tidelands Fund as compared to the current facility.

The Lagoon is not expected to materially change the daily staffing model. Lifeguard, cashier, guestservice, and similar seasonal staffing requirements are expected to remain generally comparable to the current operation. Staff is, however, evaluating the possibility of extending the operating season beyond the current Memorial Day through Labor Day schedule to capture additional warm-weather demand. An extended season would increase staffing costs, with a portion potentially offset by additional admissions revenue.

Some maintenance activities will change as a result of the new lagoon configuration and treatment system. The proposed Lagoon would operate as a recirculating system rather than the existing flowthrough seawater system. Water would be filtered, chemically treated, and returned to the Lagoon rather than continuously drawn from and discharged to King Harbor. This change is expected to substantially reduce the City's regulatory burden and costs associated with the existing direct discharge. The current operation requires approximately $50,000 annually for water-quality monitoring and testing under the City's NPDES requirements and has resulted in more than $935,000 in historical penalties associated with discharge exceedances.

The recirculating system will, however, introduce other types operating costs. These include potable water for the initial fill and replacement of evaporation and splash-out losses; electricity for pumps and filtration equipment; chemicals; filter maintenance; periodic cleaning; occasional sewer discharge fees; and routine removal of accumulated sand and debris. However, the proposed Lagoon will contain substantially less water than the existing facility. The existing Lagoon holds approximately

1.4 million gallons, compared with an estimated 770,000 gallons in the proposed Lagoon - a reduction of approximately 45 percent. Based on an estimate provided by Cal Water, filling the proposed Lagoon once would cost approximately $12,300. Ongoing potable-water consumption would primarily be associated with evaporation, splash-out, maintenance, and other water losses, rather than the continuous seawater intake and discharge required by the existing system.

The difference in water volume is particularly significant when considering the existing flow-through operation. Past Regional Water Board documents indicate that the existing system was designed to receive approximately 3,200 gallons per minute of seawater and discharge approximately 3,200 gallons per minute of dechlorinated water to King Harbor while the Lagoon was in operation. The proposed recirculating system would eliminate this continuous intake and discharge and substantially reduce the volume of water required to fill and maintain the Lagoon.

The new configuration will also require periodic removal of accumulated sand and particulates.

Filtration inlets are being designed above the lagoon floor to reduce the amount of sand entering the filtration system. Staff may use commercial in-water pool vacuums or similar equipment to remove accumulated sand and debris. The frequency and cost of this maintenance will depend on actual operating conditions and the amount of sand migrating from the surrounding beach area into the deeper portion of the Lagoon.

The City's annual operating budget provides an existing baseline for Seaside Lagoon operation including personnel, maintenance, chemicals, supplies, and internal service costs. The proposed recirculating system will eliminate or reduce certain existing costs, particularly those associated with continuous seawater circulation, discharge monitoring, and regulatory compliance, while introducing Page 12 of 14 817
N.1., File # 26-1125 Meeting Date: 9/15/2026
continuous seawater circulation, discharge monitoring, and regulatory compliance, while introducing some new costs associated with potable water, filtration and system maintenance.

Staff is continuing to evaluate the anticipated operating costs of the proposed system, including staffing, potable water, electricity, chemicals, filtration and maintenance, water-quality monitoring, regulatory compliance, equipment replacement, and periodic maintenance, but expect the Lagoon’s fiscal bottom line to be improved following construction of the new facility.

Coastal Commission Coastal Development Permit Application The Seaside Lagoon Rehabilitation Project is located within the California Coastal Zone and within an area subject to the California Coastal Commission's retained coastal development permit jurisdiction. As part of the entitlement process for the proposed rehabilitation, the City will need to obtain a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) from the California Coastal Commission.

The City has been coordinating with Coastal Commission staff during the development of the project.

Staff has discussed the proposed project, including the reduced project scope directed by the City Council in April 2026, the project's recreational and public access components, water quality considerations, and sea level rise and coastal hazard issues. These discussions have helped identify information and technical analysis that will need to be addressed as part of the CDP application.

The CDP application will include the project plans and supporting technical materials necessary for the Commission's review. The application is expected to address, among other matters, the project's consistency with applicable Coastal Act policies; public access and recreational use of the site; coastal hazards and sea level rise; water quality; site design and visual resources; and constructionrelated impacts. The City's environmental documentation and applicable technical studies will be incorporated into the application materials as appropriate.

Following submittal, Coastal Commission staff will review the application for completeness and consistency with the Coastal Act and applicable policies. Commission staff may request additional information or revisions as part of its review. Once the application is complete and staff has completed its analysis, the project will be scheduled for consideration by the Coastal Commission at a publicly noticed meeting. Commission staff will prepare a staff report and recommendation, and the Commission will ultimately determine whether to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the CDP.

The purpose of the City Council's action at this time is to authorize staff to proceed with the final preparation and submittal of the Coastal Development Permit application. This action would initiate the Commission's formal review process and would not constitute approval of the CDP itself. The final project remains subject to the Coastal Commission's review and action.

Staff recommends the City Council authorize staff to proceed with final preparation and submittal of the Coastal Development Permit application for the Seaside Lagoon Rehabilitation Project and to continue coordination with California Coastal Commission staff throughout the permitting process.

Staff also recommends the City Council approve the environmental exemption declaration.

CITY OF REDONDO BEACH

EXEMPTION DECLARATION

PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
DATE: August 25, 2026
PROJECT ADDRESS: 200 Portofino Way
PROPOSED PROJECT: Seaside Lagoon Rehabilitation
In accordance with Chapter 3, Title 10, Section 10-3.301(a) of the Redondo Beach Municipal Code, the proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15301 (Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the CEQA Guidelines.

The proposed project consists of the rehabilitation and modernization of the existing Seaside Lagoon through the replacement of aging recreational infrastructure, including the existing lagoon, pump building, restroom facilities, utilities, hardscape, landscaping, and other associated site improvements. The project maintains the existing recreational use and operational capacity of Seaside Lagoon as a public waterfront recreational facility while improving compliance with current public health, safety, accessibility, and water quality standards. The replacement improvements will serve substantially the same purpose at the same location and do not expand the facility or intensify its existing use.

Accordingly, the project qualifies for the Class 1 Categorical Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Section 15301) because it consists of the repair, rehabilitation, and minor alteration of an existing public recreational facility involving negligible expansion of the existing use, and the Class 2 Categorical Exemption (CEQA Guidelines Section 15302) because it replaces existing public facilities with new facilities serving substantially the same purpose and capacity at the same site. Staff has further determined that none of the exceptions to the use of a categorical exemption identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply; therefore, preparation of additional environmental documentation is not required.
