Mayor Light corrected his earlier comment about not discussing design, he meant they are not approving the detailed engineering drawings that evening; asked that the public comment be kept to addressing the Council and to keep the meeting civil.

Councilmember Behrendt thanked Waterfront and Community Services Director Hause, W.E.D Manager Katherine Buck, Dave Charobee, Mio Iwasaki, and other City staff that worked on the project; noted all the efforts they have put into the project and recognized their professionalism throughout.

Motion by Councilmember Behrendt, seconded by Councilmember Obagi, to 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 the California Coastal Commission staff throughout the permitting process, and to approve the Environmental Exemption Declaration.

Mayor Light invited public comment.

Niki Negrete-Mitchell, District 3, stated that she remembers the entire process, she attended one or two meetings, and participated in all the online polls; noted that it has been delayed for over 10 years and felt it was important not to delay Phase 1 any further; commented that the process seemed very thorough; urged that the project move forward with Phase 1 and that Council approve it.

impacted his family throughout the years; stated that Seaside Lagoon is the one place that unites North and South Redondo and the value cannot be quantified; noted the year-round uses at minimal expense that the Lagoon is able to maintain; said that the Lagoon would likely pay for itself between admission fees and Special Event Permits; commented that the City needs to stop thinking about ways to maximize the financial return of a public park; stated that Craven Commercial want to exploit the space with a wave pool and the main beneficiary would be Allen Sanford’s private club and restaurant; provided other sites for a wave pool and asked that the grant money for Seaside Lagoon be used to fix it up to honor the past and pay it forward to the next generations.

Assistant City Clerk Kalish reported no one online, two eComments with no position, two eComments opposed, and 25 eComments in support.

Kristina Miller, District 3, provided her background information; asked that the Council keep the public project that had already been studied, designed, discussed, and funded and not delay Phase 1 with a new wave pool concept; stated that several concerns needed to be addressed: 1) that the new wave pool idea is tied to the approval of Phase 1 because it shouldn’t be, 2) the financial numbers do not add up; stated that it would take 85 years to recover the initial investment and spoke of the comparison to El Segundo’s wave pool and the incorrect assumption that it will not compete with a wave pool at Seaside Lagoon, and 3) that the timing deserves scrutiny because the City is in negotiations with BeachLife regarding Seaside Lagoon and the new commercial concept was introduced as existing agreements are being discussed; wondered if the decisions are connected and if it affects the City’s negotiating position; requested that the Council approve Phase 1 and work through the feedback raised by the Harbor Commission.

Mayor Light reminded the public that the Council was not voting on the wave pool that evening and it was not on the agenda for discussion; stated that the decision that evening was whether the Council approves the CDP or not.

opportunity to potentially develop a wave pool while retaining most of the aspects of Seaside Lagoon or make it better; commented that the current plan would make the Lagoon worse and would change the character of the Lagoon; opined that Bill Brand would be interested in a potential wave pool; suggested that the Council investigate the potential opportunities.

Laura Kastner, District 2, asked that the Council move the Seaside Lagoon but rebuild it forward by doing the work to fund future phases, find funding, and prioritize public investment in the amenities residents need; stated that the community does not need to have a commercial wave pool to justify investing in the City’s own public park; spoke of the discussion failing to focus on the children, their swimming space, their summer camps, and affordable recreation and those should have been the priorities from the beginning; questioned why a private business proposal was being treated as the answer and why there is not urgency to fully fund the public project; urged the Council to approve the permit submission, keep the rehabilitation moving, and bring residents a concrete funding plan for the remaining phases and amenities.

Mindy Czuleger, District 1, noted that she has worked in the Riviera Village as a massage therapist for 30 years; stated that she appreciates Allen Sanford’s dream but felt the City is passed the point of entertaining his idea; noted that the new proposal is self-serving and it doesn’t help anyone but the Beach Club people who are part of his club; noted that she doesn’t mind changing the concept of the Lagoon but it should feel more community friendly and that the new concept would not be affordable to everyone; provided some ideas such as a lap pool with a side for a sandy bottom where children could play; suggested that Redondo Beach host the Junior Olympic Water Polo, which is a “Stay and Play’ event, and would generate revenue.

Jacob Mark (via Zoom) stated that the topic had gone sideways because the Mayor had stated at the beginning that the vote that evening had nothing to do with the wave pool; echoed Director Hause that the plan was proposed in 2024, it consisted of a deep salt water pool and a full sandy bottom but due to budget constraints the project came back to Council; noted that the project now consists of a fresh water pool (no longer a lagoon), minimal sand, and it is only five-feet deep; commented that the Lagoon is losing all its character and explained that his “No” vote is not in regards to the wave pool but for the current proposed plan; requested that the original vision that all the citizens provided feedback for is put back into place; suggested that everyone stop focusing on the wave pool and figure out ways to raise funds so the original vision for Seaside Lagoon could be realized.

suggested that the concerns of the Harbor Commission and the presentation should be reconciled; reported that the idea of a wave pool is not new to the City and it has been considered for both the Dive N’ Surf and the CenterCal development and neither was implemented; opined that a profit making venture does not belong in a State Regional Park and that the California Coastal Commission would unlikely entertain that option anyways; stressed that the footprint required to build the wave pool would reduce the Seaside Lagoon footprint and the primary beneficiary would be the California Surf Club.

Carmen S. (via Zoom), District 2, urged that the Council approve Phase 1; noted that a wave pool would mean the public would lose a huge part of the public footprint for private commercial amenities; supported approving Phase 1 because it would resolve the water quality fines and would open nearly an acre of lawn and sand all season.

Assistant City Clerk Kalish reported no one online.

Mayor Light closed public comment; noted that there was a motion on the floor; stated that he has been politically active in the City since 2000 and provided some history regarding workshops, potential closures, and public outreach to save Seaside Lagoon; provided details on CenterCal’s plans and how the public rallied to save Seaside Lagoon; stated that this is the closest they have been to revitalizing the facility; applauded Allen Sanford and the Surf Club for going into the Harbor and explained that other investment is being negotiated for economic revitalization there; noted that Redondo Beach is park poor which makes parks a precious resource for the community; noted that the Bill Brand Gateway Park is added park land and the City is trying to expand it; stated that the discussion that evening was about 3.2 acres on the Waterfront and that they have lots of things to consider; stated that the primary driver in 43 REGULAR MEETING

rehabilitating Seaside Lagoon were the fines that the City was incurring; stated that the job of the Council is not to maximize revenue out of a public park; noted that they are obligated to consider the Coastal Act, the Tidelands Trust, and the City’s LCP; reported that the City is obligated to protect the park on behalf of the State of California, that less than 1% of people in LA County surf, and that $100 an hour to surf is not something most can afford; noted that the City Council is not the final arbiters and that the Coastal Commission retains jurisdiction on anything in the Tidelands, which is where Seaside Lagoon is located, and that is why they are applying for a Coastal Development Permit; recognized and applauded everyone that came forward on both sides to express their views and appreciate all the ideas; stated that once the decision is set for the location of the Lagoon it will dictate what else can be done around it so the decision they make that evening is a factor; spoke about all the years of work put into the plan already, apologized for the disrespect they showed to the Harbor Commission by not bringing it back to them after changes were made, and promised that they would do better; opened the floor to the Council.

Councilmember Waller asked staff if they knew how long it would take to get on the Coastal Commission’s agenda if they pass the item that evening.

City Manager Witzansky responded that said it is normally four to six months, but they may be able to accelerate the process.

Mayor Light left the dais at 9:02 p.m. and returned at approximately 9:04 p.m.

Councilmember Waller stated that the Staff Report addressed sea level rise, but the presentation did not address it and asked if staff could provide what the Staff Report said about it.

Waterfront and Community Services Director Hause reported that Director Wiener and her met with the Harbor Commission a few weeks prior and asked about standards needed to build the Lagoon for 2050 sea level rise; reported that the Commission shared the Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance and the California Ocean Protection Council’s 2024 State Sea Level Rise Guidance; stated that are not expected to be able to predict sea level rises but that cities need to provide adaptive measures for future estimates; said that the Staff Report showed that they could provide those measures by increasing the bulkhead and doing a pressure relief valve system at the bottom of the Lagoon.

City Manager Witzansky stated that is one reason they recommended the shallower depth facility and provided more explanation; reported that the Council directed staff to get to five feet of water depth which he felt was a good adaptation strategy and would be well received by the Coastal Commission; spoke about the bulkhead strategy, noted that it was cost effective and an engineering strategy and provided more explanation; stated that he thinks the plan accommodates and has a reasonable planning horizon and that is the argument they will be making to the Coastal Commission. 44 REGULAR MEETING

MINUTES - CITY COUNCIL
Tuesday, September 15, 2026

Councilmember Waller asked what it would take to go to an eight-foot-deep Seaside Lagoon.

City Manager Witzansky noted that they hoped that they could retain the current depth, but it is not a feasible engineering solution, it would create incredible cost, and the risk of degradation would be higher with the proposed plan; stated if they had the money, it could be done.

Mayor Light added that more depth would incur more risk from sea level rise.

Councilmember Waller asked if the ocean salt water was ever considered since it seems to be another issue the public is concerned about.

City Manager Witzansky stated that the whole point of the reconstruction of the Lagoon is to get out of the sea water intake and sea water discharge business; stressed that the City cannot retain the facility in its current operating condition and explained the reasons why; noted that the City was threatened with the potential of $21.2 billion in fines and it was possible under the regulatory framework that is in the NPD’s permit; reported that the City had been fighting against discharge issues for years and they cannot sustain the staff time and resources to manage it; stated that the proposed plan always had chlorinated fresh water with a circulating system so they can control the water quality in the Lagoon that the patrons swim in; noted that times have changed and regulations have changed and it would be impossible to maintain and meet the County Health Standards and the State Water Board standards of today.

Councilmember Waller noted that the 2024 original plan noted salt water and asked if it was ocean water or salt water.

City Manager Witzansky responded that it was some level of additive salt in water and it was never ocean water in that concept; noted that Engineering had concerns of how to dispose of the additive salt water and the impact it might have on the City’s wastewater infrastructure.

Councilmember Waller referred to the Current vs. Projected Costs slide from the presentation; asked what the revenue would be for Seaside Lagoon if they did Phase 1 including the costs of maintenance.

Waterfront and Community Services Director Hause stated that the projected costs show that it would be more cost effective to have the new system in place.

City Manager Witzansky explained that the City currently has heavy chlorination costs, heavy dichlorination costs, and they have to add a lot of chemicals to the sea water to make it swimmable under the County requirements; stated that the new facility will cost less to maintain and operate and they expect a positive economic impact on the City’s Tidelands Fund.

Councilmember Waller noted that nothing was mentioned for revenue from additional 45 REGULAR MEETING

events that might be possible if the facility was open year-round.

Councilmember Castle added to Councilmember Waller’s comment that moving the water feature further west would offer more land in the front; asked if they anticipated more revenue from events that aren’t water related.

Waterfront and Community Services Director Hause responded that there is potential to market the space and host more people but could not predict what that would be.

City Manager Witzansky pointed out that currently they have limited flexibility with the water amenity to start and stop it and the new facility would allow the City to operate more in a more flexible way; noted that they expect some enhanced usability of the space on the off-season; stated that he did not want to over promise and they are still discussing possibilities and need to consider safety as well; noted that there will likely be more events but they have not identified them yet.

Mayor Light noted that they are not in the construction phase yet and they have the ability to change some of the fencing over time to open more space.

Councilmember Waller commented that, if Phase 1 doesn’t preclude adding things like a wave pool in the future, they could get the public’s input over the next three years, entertain other proposals, and look at better uses for areas.

More discussion followed regarding different iterations of future phases but to keep in mind constraints.

Mayor Light pointed out that the Council approved the Harbor Commission’s recommendation of expanding the park into the roundabout.

Councilmember Kaluderovic stated that they are advocating for more funds for the project and other things in the City; commented that they can move the item forward while continuing to evolve and refine the plan.

Councilmember Obagi referenced a speaker that said the Council’s current plan proposes to lock in low income uses for generations to come and commented that it was off putting for him; stated that the intention of Seaside Lagoon was to be a place for 50,000 people of all types, colors, demographic, and geographic location to come and enjoy; stated that he is not mandated to convert public land into a public private partnership; commented that no surf club or wave pool developer has approached the City asking for the space; noted that there are other opportunities in Redondo Beach and mentioned the power plant with multiple acres in bankruptcy.

Mayor Light reminded everyone that the motion on the floor is to approve final preparation and submittal of a Coastal Development Permit application to the Coastal Commission and approve Environmental Exemption Declaration for the project. 46 REGULAR MEETING

City Manager Witzansky reported that the intention is to come back to Council in the next two to three months; noted it is the next step in the planning process.

Discussion followed on what would be provided for their review and the ability to make changes.

Councilmember Castle asked to add a friendly amendment that, if there is a delay, estimates of the rate of inflation of construction be included; noted that a year delay could cost $9 million.

City Manager Witzansky noted that part of the plan, is to create a concept that can be phased and additional square footage could be added later.

Mayor Light supported the plan to do it on schedule versus an early version due to time and money.

More discussion followed regarding the scheduled planning.

City Manager Witzansky clarified that they are not at the value engineering stage but currently at the spatial planning engineering stage; stated what they are conceptualizing at this time is: a 25,000 sq. ft. newly constructed Main Station, a renovated basement at 5,500 sq. ft., a renovated Annex, and approximately 10,000 sq. ft. for the Police facilities.

Other Insurance Provisions
The general liability and automobile liability policies shall 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 Consultant. General liability coverage can be provided in the form of an endorsement to the Consultant’s insurance, or as a separate owner’s policy.

For any claims related to this project, the Consultant’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 Consultant’s insurance and shall not contribute with it.

Each insurance policy required by this clause shall be endorsed to state that coverage shall not be canceled by either party, except after thirty (30) days prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has been given to the City.

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 Consultant’s part.

DIRECTOR
TITLE

APPROVE THE SUBSTITUTION OF TRUSTEE AND FULL RECONVEYANCE OF THE REHABILITATION LOAN LIENS FOR 2522 ROBINSON STREET, REDONDO BEACH, CA 90278, UPON FULL REPAYMENT OF $88,495.40 UNDER THE DEFERRED PAYMENT LOAN PROGRAM

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends the City Council approve the Substitution of Trustee and Full Reconveyance of the rehabilitation loan liens recorded against 2522 Robinson Street, Redondo Beach, CA 90278. The property owner, Beverly A. Whitaker, received two rehabilitation loans through the City’s former Deferred Payment Loan Program in 2008 and 2010. The loans were secured by liens recorded against the property and are required to be repaid, including accrued interest, before being released.

On August 28, 2026, the City received a cashier’s check from First American Trust in the amount of $88,495.40, representing payment in full of the two outstanding rehabilitation loans, identified as Deferred Loan Instrument Nos. 20081342035 and 20100409534. As the loans have been fully repaid, the City Council’s approval of the Substitution of Trustee and Full Reconveyance will authorize release of the City’s liens against the property.

BACKGROUND
The former Redevelopment Agency provided rehabilitation loans to qualifying low-income Redondo Beach homeowners through the Deferred Payment Loan Program. The program provided lowinterest financing for eligible home improvements, including roofing, plumbing, electrical, and bathroom repairs. The loans were secured by liens recorded against the assisted properties and were to be repaid in accordance with the terms of the applicable loan agreements.

On December 15, 2008, Beverly A. Whitaker received a $54,911 rehabilitation loan for improvements to 2522 Robinson Street. On March 11, 2010, Ms. Whitaker received an additional $8,300 rehabilitation loan for further rehabilitation work. Both loans were secured by liens recorded against the property and accrued interest at a rate of four percent per year for ten years.

The loans were originally made by the former Redevelopment Agency. Following the State’s dissolution of redevelopment agencies in 2012, the City transferred the loans, along with other similar housing loans, to the Redondo Beach Housing Authority. Repayment proceeds from these loans constitute housing assets and must be used by the Housing Authority in accordance with applicable affordable housing laws. The repayment proceeds therefore cannot be deposited into the City’s

77 H.5., File # 26-1180 Meeting Date: 10/13/2026
affordable housing laws. The repayment proceeds therefore cannot be deposited into the City’s General Fund.

On August 28, 2026, the Housing Division received a cashier’s check from First American Trust in the amount of $88,495.40, representing payment in full of the outstanding principal and accrued interest for both rehabilitation loans. The loans are identified by Deferred Loan Instrument Nos. 20081342035 and 20100409534.

Because the rehabilitation loans have been paid in full, the associated liens should now be released from the property. The Substitution of Trustee and Full Reconveyance documents provide for the formal release of the liens from the title pertaining to 2522 Robinson Street. Approval of this item will complete the City’s role in releasing the rehabilitation loan liens following full repayment of the outstanding obligations.

COORDINATION
The Substitution of Trustee and Full Reconveyance has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney’s Office.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is not fiscal impact associated with this item as the loan has been repaid in full.

APPROVED BY:

Mike Witzansky, City Manager

STELLAR GENERAL ENGINEERING, A CALIFORNIA CORPORATION, IN THE AMOUNT OF $537,887.50 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CITYWIDE CURB RAMP IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (FEDERAL HUD B-26-MC-0528), JOB NO. 40399

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As part of the City’s commitment to removing physical barriers in the public right of way, the City Council has established and funded CIP Job No. 40399, Citywide Curb Ramp Improvements Project, in the City’s Capital Improvement Program. For this project, the Public Works Department has identified 24 locations in the City that do not meet current accessibility requirements for curb ramps.

The rehabilitation of these locations will help ensure that pedestrians and persons with locomotion challenges such as wheelchair users, can safely navigate the City’s sidewalk corridors safely, while also protecting the City from liability.

As noted, 24 ramps will be improved with the completion of the proposed project. The ramps included in this project have been identified through residential requests for service and public works inspections, with a particular emphasis on locations that do not currently have a ramp. The City Council has previously approved plans and specifications for the project and authorized competitive bidding. The City received 11 bids and DT Stellar General Engineering with a bid of $537,887.50 was found to be the lowest, responsible bidder. With award of the contract as recommended, project construction is expected to begin in December and to be completed within sixty 60 working days.

The project budget, which is funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Local Return Measure M and TDA Article III Funds, is sufficient to cover the construction expense, plus a 10% contingency and other project implementation costs.

BACKGROUND
The current phase of the Citywide Curb Ramp Improvements Project, Job No. 40399 is included in the City’s FY 2026-27 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Staff from the Public Works Department identified street crossings within the City that have accessibility issues and/or are in disrepair.

Intersections identified for the proposed curb ramps are included as an attachment with the locations sorted by Council District.

Improving the 24 curb ramp locations will allow for greater access for pedestrian traffic throughout the City and will bring the City into better compliance with portions of the Americans with Disabilities Act

TITLE
APPROVE A NINTH AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT WITH PLACEWORKS, INC. FOR

CONSULTING SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE FOR AN ADDITIONAL COST OF $49,100 TO BE PAID FOR BY GENERAL PLAN MAINTENANCE FUNDS FOR A NEW TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $2,556,956 AND TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT THROUGH MARCH 31, 2027

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In October 2016, the City Council approved an Agreement for Consulting Services with PlaceWorks, Inc. (PlaceWorks) to update the Redondo Beach General Plan. Following the adoption of the Eighth Amendment on June 16, 2026, additional consulting and technical services were required to support Article XXVII traffic and land use modeling to incorporate revisions from the May 2026 Housing Element update.

Additional work also includes preparing the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Addenda for the staggered adoption of General Plan elements, completing regulatory and technical updates to the draft Safety Element (addressing State mandates such as AB 2684 extreme heat requirements), revising the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance (Inland and Coastal) to address City Council direction concerning Public/Institutional (PI), Park (P), and Open Space (OS) designations postadoption, providing ongoing project management through element adoption, and establishing a specialized contingency for future unanticipated updates.

The cost of the additional services outlined in the Ninth Amendment is $49,100 and will be funded by the City's General Plan Maintenance Fund. With approval of the Ninth Amendment, the total contract amount will increase from $2,507,856 to an amount not to exceed $2,556,956. In addition, the term of the Agreement will be extended through March 31, 2027, with an option for an automatic six-month extension through September 30, 2027.

BACKGROUND
On October 4, 2016, the City originally retained PlaceWorks to comprehensively update the Redondo Beach General Plan and prepare the associated Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Subsequent amendments (First through Seventh) adjusted scopes of work, extended performance timelines, and addressed the statutory deadlines necessitating the bifurcation of the Housing Element from the remaining General Plan elements.

Most recently, on June 16, 2026, the City Council approved the Eighth Amendment to the Agreement

110
H.7., File # 26-1293 Meeting Date: 10/13/2026
Most recently, on June 16, 2026, the City Council approved the Eighth Amendment to the Agreement (adding $48,010 for a total contract cap of $2,507,856) to perform expanded Article XXVII traffic and land use modeling associated with Public/Institutional properties, initiate Senate Bill (SB) 18 tribal consultation, and begin consistency updates.

Because the City Council is proceeding with adopting the General Plan Update in multiple actions, additional environmental review, technical analyses, and document synchronization are required.

Specifically, the Article XXVII Traffic Analysis originally initiated in January 2026 had to be further updated to account for the Housing Element sites certified in May 2026. Additionally, because the Safety, Noise, and Open Space and Conservation Elements are advancing separately from the Land Use Element, individual CEQA Addenda and corresponding zoning consistency amendments are necessary.

AMENDMENT NINE TASKS/COSTS
The proposed Ninth Amendment adds the following tasks and costs to the PlaceWorks Agreement:

Task 17: Article XXVII Fehr & Peers Traffic Modeling/Analysis - $22,000 Fehr & Peers will prepare updated traffic analyses to incorporate the May 2026 Housing Element sites into the Current Plan analysis. Because Article XXVII analysis commenced in January 2026 prior to the May 2026 Housing Element certification, this task updates the baseline traffic modeling to reflect post-January changes.

Task 17: Article XXVII PlaceWorks Land Use Modeling/Analysis - $6,500 PlaceWorks will update the Article XXVII land use analysis to incorporate the May 2026 Housing Element site revisions, aligning land use data directly with the updated Fehr & Peers traffic modeling.

Task 8.10: CEQA Addendum for Land Use Changes (August 4 CC Meeting) - $1,700 PlaceWorks will prepare a CEQA Addendum covering land use changes considered at the August 4, 2026 City Council meeting.

New Task 8.11: CEQA Addendum for Safety, Open Space, and Noise Updates - $2,000 PlaceWorks will prepare CEQA Addenda to support the Safety, Open Space, and Noise Elements, which are scheduled to be adopted separately from the Land Use Element.

New Task 4.8: General Plan & Zoning Changes After Adoption - $2,500 Consultant will draft technical revisions to the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Coastal Zone Zoning Ordinance as needed for consistency to reflect final Council actions regarding Public/Institutional (PI), Park (P), and Open Space (OS) designations.

Task 11.1: Safety Element Updates - $2,400
Updating the regulatory framework and draft text of the Safety Element to address evacuation planning under Gov. Code § 65302.15, incorporation of the current LHMP, emergency preparedness (consolidation to one EOC at the Main Library), updated CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone designations, hazardous materials and CUPA oversight, DWR snowpack drought data, extreme heat as a stand-alone topic pursuant to AB 2684, and the 2024 Ocean Protection

111
H.7., File # 26-1293 Meeting Date: 10/13/2026
Council Sea Level Rise Guidance.

Task 10.2: Project Management - $7,500
Covers essential interdepartmental coordination, bi-weekly progress calls, and meetings with City staff through element adoption, including $4,470 for work performed while contract funding was on hold.

New Task: Contingency - $4,500
Provides specialized contingency funds to address unanticipated refinements to the Noise and Open Space Elements or conforming Zoning Ordinance amendments before or after adoption.

Expenditure of these funds requires prior written authorization from City staff.

Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed Ninth Amendment to the Agreement with PlaceWorks, Inc. to add $49,100 to the total not-to-exceed contract amount, raising it to $2,556,956, and to extend the term of the Agreement through March 31, 2027 (with an option for an automatic six -month extension through September 30, 2027).

COORDINATION
The proposed amendment was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney’s Office.

FISCAL IMPACT
The net cost of the additional services outlined in the Ninth Amendment is $49,100 and is funded by the City’s General Plan Maintenance Fund. With approval of the Ninth Amendment, the total cost of the Agreement increases from $2,507,856 to $2,556,956.

SECTION 1. EXHIBIT "A" PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND/OR SCOPE OF SERVICES of the Amended Agreement is hereby amended to add the following scope of services as follows:
“A. PROJECT OVERVIEW: Placeworks shall prepare additional environmental, traffic, safety, and tribal consultation services required for the final approval of the remaining General Plan Elements (collectively, the “Project”). The purpose of the Project is to finalize General Plan Update adoption in compliance with State Law.

This scope of work includes the extra intersections needed to comply with Article XXVII based on the identified parcels, the magnitude of the land use changes (proposed amendments to the PI designated properties throughout the City), new study intersections not previously anticipated from the original base set, as well as 3 entirely new study intersections. Inclusion of PI uses as areas of major change increases the number of impacted traffic analysis zones from 11 to 31 compared to what was anticipated in previous scope, and doubles the number of intersections that must be included in the analysis. Additionally, as required by Article XXVII, the associated land use modeling effort has also expanded and is included in this proposed scope.

B. SCOPE OF WORK. Consultant shall perform additional modeling, outreach, and element updates associated with the final adoption of the General Plan. Consultant shall provide textual support and technical analysis for new traffic analysis intersections, Safety Element state mandates (SB 1425, SB 2684), Tribal Consultation (SB 18), and non-Housing Element zoning edits.

C. TASKS AND ACTIVITIES

1. Task 17. Article XXVII F&P Traffic Modeling
Fehr & Peers will prepare new traffic volume forecasts for all study intersections and segments within a 3,000-foot buffer of the relevant parcels studied under the updated scenarios. Two runs of the SCAG model will be conducted for the final Current Plan and Proposed Plan scenarios. Additionally, through coordination with City staff on the final land use changes, three additional study intersections will be added in the vicinity of areas of major change that weren’t previously anticipated to be analyzed:
x Redondo Beach Ave & Space Park Dr
x Manhattan Beach Bl & Dolittle Dr
x Maria Ave & Beryl St
New traffic counts will be collected at these locations, and LOS analysis in accordance with Article XXVII will be prepared. Based on the results of the analysis, Fehr & Peers 131
3 will develop prototypical mitigation measures and reference locations that are operating at LOS E or F.

2. Task 17. Article XXVII PW Land Use Modeling
Consultant shall re-estimate future buildout assuming rooftop dining is accounted for within the 1.5 maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) cap in AACAP. Consultant shall prepare Article XXVII land use analysis for thirty (30) additional Public/Institutional (PI) uses compared to the original baseline scope.

3. Task 3.4. SB 18 Tribal Consultation
Consultant shall assist the City with the Senate Bill (SB) 18 Tribal consultation process pursuant to California Government Code Sections 65352.3 and 65352.4. Consultant shall draft template consultation letters on behalf of the City for staff review. Following receipt of City comments, Consultant shall finalize the consultation letter template using agency letterhead, contact the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC) to obtain a list of tribes with affiliation to the project area, and distribute individual consultation letters via certified mail.

4. Task 11.1. Safety Element Update for State Law Consistency Consultant shall update the Safety Element for consistency with State Law (SB 1425) requiring the General Plan to address the co-benefits of open space correlated to the Safety Element by January 1, 2026. Consultant shall also include updates for Extreme Heat as required by SB 2684. Updates shall include modifications to mapping (flood, tsunami, fire) as needed.

5. Task 15. Staff Support for Zoning / LCP Edits for non-HE Changes Consultant shall render technical text drafting and processing changes associated with non-housing element updates. Edits will predominantly codify ongoing updates to State Law (focusing on programmatic features and definitions versus land-use policy adjustments).

Article XXVII stipulates specific analysis methods that exceed the level of analysis required by the City of Redondo Beach' s transportation impact study guidelines In the Fourth Amendment, Fehr & Peers estimated 33 total study intersections for Article XXVII based on direction from the City on anticipated areas of change that would meet the Article XXVII thresholds.

As a result, Fehr & Peers will collect counts at a total of 101 locations, inclusive of peak period (four hour) intersection turning movement traffic volumes, pedestrian/ bicycle, and/ or 24- hour roadway segment volumes, a net increase of up to 68 study locations from what was approved in the fourth amendment.
