3. An essential or critical need requires that an order be placed with the best available source of supply due to time constraints.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU: ELAINE JENG P.E., CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: FOR SECOND READING AND ADOPTION: ADOPT BY TITLE ONLY ORDINANCE NO. 381 AMENDING CHAPTER 17.28 OF THE ROLLING
HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING ACCESSORY DWELLING
UNITS AND JUNIOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND
DETERMINING THE ORDINANCES TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA
DATE: January 09, 2023
BACKGROUND:
On November 15, 2022, this item was recommended for approval by the Planning Commission on a 5-0 vote. On December 13, 2022, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing, took public testimony, and closed the public hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 381-U and introduced Ordinance No. 381 for first reading amending Chapter 17.28 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code regarding accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) and finding the action to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Ordinance No. 381-U is an urgency ordinance that became effective immediately and became operative on January 1, 2023.
Recent ADU Laws:
In recent years, the California Legislature has approved, and the Governor has signed into law, a number of bills that impose limits on local authority to regulate accessory dwelling units (“ADUs”) and junior accessory dwelling units (“JADUs”). These bills include Assembly Bills 68 and 881 and Senate Bill 13—which went into effect on January 1, 2020. The City Council previously adopted Ordinance Nos. 364U and 364, which updated the City’s ADU and JADU regulations (contained in Chapter 17.28 of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code) to comply with this legislation.
Following the bills noted above, in 2020 and 2021 the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law, Assembly Bill 3182 (“AB 3182”) and Assembly Bill 345 (“AB 345”), respectively. Among other things, AB 3182 expanded the scenarios under which the City must allow certain ADUs and JADUs with only a building permit. AB 345 required cities to allow the separate sale or conveyance of certain ADUs that satisfy the conditions set forth in 31 Government Code section 65852.26. Such conditions include, among other things, that the ADU or the primary dwelling was constructed by a qualified nonprofit and the ADU is sold to a qualified low-income buyer. In August 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 376, which further amended the City’s ADU and JADU regulations to comply with this legislation.
DISCUSSION:
In September 2022, the California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed into law, a new bill (“SB 897”) that further amends state ADU law (i.e., Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22).
Among other things, SB 897: 1
Requires the City to allow certain ADUs to be higher—up to 18 or 25 feet, depending the situation;
Requires the City’s front setback requirement to yield for certain ADUs; Requires the City to justify a denial with a full set of detailed comments describing the deficiencies in the application and explaining how to remedy them; Removes the automatic repeal in 2025 (now the ADU statute is permanent); Prohibits the City from denying an application to create an ADU solely because corrections are needed to address nonconforming zoning conditions, building code violations, or unpermitted structures elsewhere on the lot that do not present a threat to public health and safety and are not affected by the construction of the ADU; and In instances where a JADU will share a bathroom with the primary dwelling, the City must require the JADU to have an interior entry to the primary dwelling’s “main living area,” independent of the exterior entrances of the JADU and primary dwelling.
As noted above, the City’s ADU and JADU regulations are codified in RHMC Chapter 17.28.
Included in Attachment 1 is an ordinance (“ADU Ordinance”) that amends Chapter 17.28 to comply with SB 897.
The code amendments provided in the ADU Ordinance are mandated by recent changes in state law. Consequently, staffs’ recommendation is for the City Council to adopt the ADU Ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Under California Public Resources Code section 21080.17, the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) does not apply to the adoption of an ordinance by a city or county implementing the provisions of section 65852.2 of the Government Code, which is California’s ADU law and which also regulates JADUs, as defined by section 65852.22. Therefore, the ADU Ordinance is statutorily exempt from CEQA in that the proposed ordinance implements state’s ADU law.
__________________
1 Both AB 2221 and SB 897 were signed into law, but AB 2221 has no effect because it would have amended the same statute that SB 897 amended, and SB 897 was signed into law (chaptered) later. AB 2221 was therefore “chaptered out.” But section 2.5 of SB 897 expressly includes, among others, changes to the ADU law that would have been made by AB 2221. Ultimately, only SB 897 is effective and relevant.
32 FISCAL IMPACT:
The ordinance amendment brings the Municipal Code into compliance with State law which protects the City from legal challenges.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt by title only Ordinance No. 381, entitled, " AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS AMENDING CHAPTER 17.28 OF THE ROLLING HILLS
MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND JUNIOR
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND DETERMINING THE ORDINANCE TO BE EXEMPT FROM CEQA."

3. If the City denies an application to create an ADU or JADU, the City must provide the applicant with comments that include, among other things, a list of all the defective or deficient items and a description of how the application may be remedied by the applicant. Notice of the denial and corresponding comments must be provided to the applicant within the sixty day time period established by subsection (C.2) above.
4. A demolition permit for a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU is reviewed with the application for the ADU and issued at the same time.
17.28.050 General ADU and JADU requirements.
The following requirements apply to all ADUs and JADUs that are approved under Section
17.28.040(A) or (B):
A. Zoning.
1. An ADU or JADU subject only to a building permit under Section
17.28.040(A) may be created on a lot in a residential or mixed-use zone.
2. An ADU or JADU subject to an ADU permit under Section 17.28.040(B) may be created on a lot that is zoned to allow single-family dwelling residential use or multifamily dwelling residential use.
B. Height.
1. Except as otherwise provided by subsections (B.2) and (B.3) below, a detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit may not exceed sixteen feet in height.
2. A detached ADU may be up to eighteen feet in height if it is created on a lot with an existing or proposed single family or multifamily dwelling unit that is 42 65277.00010\40812719.3
located within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop or a high quality transit corridor, as those terms are defined in Section 21155 of the Public Resources Code, and the ADU may be up to two additional feet in height (for a maximum of twenty feet) if necessary to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit.
3. A detached ADU created on a lot with an existing or proposed multifamily dwelling that has more than one story above grade may not exceed eighteen feet in height.
4. An ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling may not exceed twenty five feet in height or the height limitation imposed by the underlying zone that applies to the primary dwelling, whichever is lower.
5. For purposes of this subsection (B), height is measured above existing legal grade to the peak of the structure.
C. Fire Sprinklers.
1. Fire sprinklers are required in an ADU if sprinklers are required in the primary residence.
2. The construction of an ADU does not trigger a requirement for fire sprinklers to be installed in the existing primary dwelling.
D. Rental Term. No ADU or JADU may be rented for a term that is shorter than thirty days. This prohibition applies regardless of when the ADU or JADU was created.
E. No Separate Conveyance. An ADU or JADU may be rented, but, except as otherwise provided in Government Code Section 65852.26, no ADU or JADU may be sold or otherwise conveyed separately from the lot and the primary dwelling (in the case of a single-family lot) or from the lot and all of the dwellings (in the case of a multifamily lot).
F. Owner Occupancy.
1. An ADU that is permitted after January 1, 2020, but before January 1, 2025, is not subject to any owner-occupancy requirement.
2. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, all ADUs that are permitted on or after January 1, 2025, are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property as the person's legal domicile and permanent residence.
3. As required by state law, all JADUs are subject to an owner-occupancy requirement. A natural person with legal or equitable title to the property must reside on the property, in either the primary dwelling or JADU, as the person's legal domicile and permanent residence. However, the owneroccupancy requirement of this paragraph does not apply if the property is entirely owned by another governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.
43 65277.00010\40812719.3
G. Deed Restriction. Prior to issuance of a building permit for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction must be recorded against the title of the property in the County Recorder's office and a copy filed with the Director. The deed restriction must run with the land and bind all future owners. The form of the deed restriction will be provided by the City and must provide that:
1. Except as otherwise provided in Government Code Section 65852.26, the ADU or JADU may not be sold separately from the primary dwelling.
2. The ADU or JADU is restricted to the approved size and to other attributes allowed by this chapter.
3. The deed restriction runs with the land and may be enforced against future property owners.
4. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the Director, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The Director may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the Director's determination consistent with other provisions of this Code. If the ADU or JADU is not entirely physically removed, but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU or JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this Code.
5. The deed restriction is enforceable by the Director or his or her designee for the benefit of the City. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the City is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.
H. Building and Safety.
1. Must comply with building code. Subject to subsection (H)(2) below, all ADUs and JADUs must comply with all local building code requirements.
2. No change in occupancy. Construction of an ADU does not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the local building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code, unless the building official or Code Enforcement Division officer makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the ADU could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety. Nothing in this subsection (H)(2) prevents the City from changing the occupancy code of a space that was uninhabitable space or that was only permitted for nonresidential use and was subsequently converted for residential use in accordance with this section.

17.28.070 Fees.
The following requirements apply to all ADUs and JADUs that are approved under Section
17.28.040(A) or Section 17.28.040(B).
A. Impact Fees.
1. No impact fee is required for an ADU that is less than seven hundred fifty square feet in size. For purposes of this Section 17.28.070, "impact fee" means a "fee" under the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code § 66000(b)) and a fee under the Quimby Act (Gov. Code § 66477). "Impact fee" here does not include any connection fee or capacity charge for water or sewer service.
2. Any impact fee that is required for an ADU that is seven hundred fifty square feet or larger in size must be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. (E.g., the floor area of the ADU divided by the floor area of the primary dwelling, times the typical fee amount charged for a new dwelling.)
B. Utility Fees.
1. If an ADU is constructed with a new single-family home, a separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility and payment of the normal connection fee and capacity charge for a new dwelling are required.

not required to have a new or separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility. Nor is a connection fee or capacity charge required.
3. Except as described in Section 17.28.070(B)(1), all ADUs not covered by Section 17.28.070(B)(2) above require a new, separate utility connection directly between the ADU and the utility.
(a) The connection is subject to a connection fee or capacity charge that is proportionate to the burden created by the ADU based on either the floor area or the number of drainage-fixture units (DFU) values, as defined by the Uniform Plumbing Code, upon the water or sewer system.
(b) The portion of the fee or charge that is charged by the City may not exceed the reasonable cost of providing this service.
17.28.080 Nonconforming Zoning Code Conditions, Building Code Violations, and Unpermitted Structures.
A. Generally. The City will not deny an ADU or JADU application due to a nonconforming zoning condition, building code violation, or unpermitted structure on the lot that does not present a threat to the public health and safety and that is not affected by the construction of the ADU or JADU.
B. Unpermitted ADUs constructed before 2018.
1. Permit to Legalize. As required by state law, the City may not deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, if denial is based on either of the following grounds:
(a) The ADU violates applicable building standards; or
(b) The ADU does not comply with state ADU law (Government Code Section 65852.2) or this ADU ordinance (Chapter 17.28).
2. Exceptions.
(a) Notwithstanding subsection (B.1) above, the City may deny a permit to legalize an existing but unpermitted ADU that was constructed before January 1, 2018, if the City makes a finding that correcting a violation is necessary to protect the health and safety of the public or of occupants of the structure.
(b) Subsection (B.1) above does not apply to a building that is deemed to be substandard in accordance with California Health and Safety Code section 17920.3.
17.28.090 Nonconforming ADUs and discretionary approval.
Any proposed ADU or JADU that does not conform to the objective standards set forth in Section 17.28.010 through Section 17.28.080 of this chapter may be allowed by the City with a conditional use permit, in accordance with the other provisions of this title. 48 Agenda Item No.: 7.I
Mtg. Date: 01/09/2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU: ELAINE JENG P.E., CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: FOR SECOND READING AND ADOPTION: ADOPT BY TITLE ONLY ORDINANCE NO. 382 AMENDING TITLE 15 (BUILDINGS AND
CONSTRUCTION) OF THE ROLLING HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE AND
DETERMINING THE ORDINANCE EXEMPT FROM CEQA
DATE: January 09, 2023
BACKGROUND:
On December 13, 2022, the City Council held a public hearing, took public testimony, and closed the public hearing. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council, on a 5-0 vote, adopted Ordinance No. 382-U and introduced Ordinance No. 382 adopting by reference Titles 26, 27, 28, 29, 30,31, and 33 of the Los Angeles County Code and making amendments to said codes, and finding the action exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Ordinance No. 382-U is an urgency ordinance that took effect on January 1, 2023.
California Building Standards Commission
Every three years, the California Building Standards Commission, together with other state agencies (e.g., the Department of Housing and Community Development), updates the State’s building standards by adopting a new edition of the California Building Standards Code (“CBSC”). The CBSC consists of multiple building codes codified in Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (these include the state building code, residential code, electrical code, plumbing code, mechanical code, fire code, energy code, and green building code). Effective January 1, 2023, these building standards apply to all building occupancies throughout the state, whether or not they are adopted by a local jurisdiction. Cities and counties, however, will typically pass ordinances adopting the CBSC by reference for the purpose of amending the state standards in accordance with local conditions and to adopt administrative provisions (e.g., fees, remedies for code violations, etc.).
Local amendments must be specific to each edition of the CBSC. State law also provides that cities and counties may adopt amendments to the state building standards only if the local governing body (i.e., the City Council) finds that such modifications or changes are reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological or topographical conditions, and if the local 49 amendments are at least as restrictive as the state standards. (Administrative provisions that do not establish building standards may be enacted without necessity findings.) Traditionally, the City of Rolling Hills has adopted the CBSC as adopted and amended by Los Angeles County. On November 15, 2022, the County Board of Supervisors adopted the new codes with local amendments, effective January 1, 2023.
DISCUSSION:
Ordinance No. 382 largely functions to adopt the current editions of the codes, readopt previously adopted City amendments that continue to apply to local building conditions, and delete or otherwise clean up those provisions of Rolling Hills Municipal Code (RHMC) Title 15 that are obsolete or duplicative of the State and County codes.
Environmental Review
This ordinance is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment. Most of the terms of the building standards in the proposed Ordinance are dictated by the California Buildings Standards Code and county amendments to the state standards only make those modifications necessary for local regional conditions which are at least as protective of the environment as the state codes. City-specific amendments are limited to creating administrative processes for local enforcement of the state building standards. Alternatively, even if the ordinance is a project within the meaning of CEQA, its adoption is exempt from CEQA under the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may cause significant adverse effects on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3), as this ordinance is largely administrative in nature, there is no possibility that the City’s action would adversely affect the environment in any manner that could be significant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Building plan check and permit fees are paid to compensate the City for expenditures associated with these activities. As the changes in the Codes are minor, the fees collected will continue to match the expenditures, and there will be no net fiscal impact to the City.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council waive full reading and adopt Ordinance No. 382 amending Title 15 regarding Building and Construction.

J106.3 BALANCED CUT AND FILL RATIO
55
Adherence to balanced cut and fill ratio is an important policy of the City and furthers the goals and objectives of its General Plan, except that export of soil generated from construction of basements and other excavation activities, promotes the preservation of natural terrain of the property.

15.36.030 Exceptions.
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to residents of the City who are the record owners of land in the City or who are the lessees of the record owners of land in the City.
Chapter 15.40 GEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS AND REPORTS REQUIRED Sections:
15.40.010 Requirements.
The requirements provided for in this chapter are in addition to any and all other requirements relating to expansive soils and geological inspections and reports required by the building code of the City or any other ordinance of the City.
15.40.020 Authority—Procedure.
A. No building (as defined in the Los Angeles County Building Laws) for which a building or grading permit is required by the building code of the City, shall be issued by the City Engineer if he, and/or the City Council, is of the opinion that a potentially serious geological condition may exist on the land on which the proposed building is to be constructed, or the proposed grading is to be performed, until a geological report prepared by a geologist registered by the State is delivered 74
to the City Engineer by the applicant for the building or grading permit. The report shall include, among other things, test borings or excavations.
B. If said geological report, in the opinion of the City Engineer, indicates a potential serious geological condition, the City Engineer shall have the authority to employ an independent geologist registered by the State, to prepare and provide him with an independent geological report of the land on which the proposed building is to be constructed or the grading is proposed to be performed, and if necessary, to require additional test borings or excavations to be made by an independent testing service, the depth and accuracy of which shall be approved by said registered geologist.
C. The City Engineer shall also have authority to submit samples of any and all test borings or excavations to an independent qualified geological laboratory for analysis and report.
D. The geological report prepared by the independent registered geologist shall recommend corrective action which is designed to prevent the displacement or slippage of the land.
15.40.030 Corrective action required when.
As a condition to the issuance of a permit by the City Engineer of the City, the corrective action or procedures recommended in the geological report shall be incorporated in the proposed construction or grading for which the permit has been applied.
15.40.040 Assessment of costs.
All expenses incurred by the applicant in complying with the provisions of this chapter shall be paid for by the applicant and shall be in addition to all other charges or fees levied, assessed or charged by the City in connection with the issuance of a building or grading permit.”
Section 2. All inconsistencies between the Building Code, Electrical Code, Mechanical Code, Plumbing Code, Residential Code, Green Building Code, and Existing Building Code, as adopted by this ordinance and Parts 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 10, and 11 of the California Code of Regulations, are changes, modifications, amendments, additions, or deletions thereto authorized by California Health and Safety Code Sections 17958 and 17958.7.
Section 3. Justifications for Local Amendments. The City Council hereby finds that the changes and modifications to the California Building Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Electrical Code, Residential Code, Green Building Code, and Existing Building Code enacted by this ordinance are reasonably necessary because of the City's local climate, characterized by hot, dry summers, often resulting in drought conditions, followed by strong Santa Ana winds, often resulting in hazardous fire conditions, and 75
heavy winter rains, often resulting in expansive soil conditions; the City's geological characteristics in that the area is characterized by geological instability; location in Southern California; and the relatively flat topography of the City.
The City Council hereby finds that the modifications to the State Building Code in Title 26 of the Los Angeles County Code are reasonably necessary because of the local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions within the City of Rolling Hills. Further, the modifications to the Building, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Green Building Standards, Residential, and Existing Building Codes in Titles 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and 33 of the Los Angeles County Code are administrative in nature and are necessary to allow the uniform application of the codes by procedures suited to the size and nature of the City's staff and administrative agencies by means suited to the City's experience with local climatic, geological, and topographical conditions and to provide sufficient staff support for the time-consuming inspections and analysis required by the City's fire and geological hazards.
Section 4. To the extent the provisions of this ordinance are substantially the same as previous provisions of the Rolling Hills Municipal Code, these sections shall be construed as continuations of those provisions and not as new enactments.
Section 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance or any part hereof is for any reason held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council of the City of Rolling Hills hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid.
Section 6. California Environmental Quality Act. The City Council finds that this ordinance is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment. Most of the terms of the building standards adopted herein are dictated by the California Buildings Standards Code and county amendments to the state standards only make those modifications necessary for local regional conditions which are at least as protective of the environment as the state codes.
City-specific amendments are limited to creating administrative processes for local enforcement of the state building standards. Alternatively, even if the ordinance is a project within the meaning of CEQA, its adoption is exempt from CEQA under the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects that may cause significant adverse effects on the environment. CEQA Guideline section 15061(b)(3). As this ordinance is largely administrative in nature, there is no possibility that the City’s action would adversely affect the environment in any manner that could be significant.
76
Section 7. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its passage and adoption pursuant to California Government Code section 36937 and shall apply to all projects submitted to the City for plan check and/or permit application on or after that date.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 9th day of January, 2023. ________________________________

SUBJECT: APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZE
SOLICITATION FOR CONSTRUCTION BIDS FOR THE CITY HALL
HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) PROJECT
AND FINDING THE SAME EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT.
DATE: January 09, 2023
BACKGROUND:
Since late July 2022, City Hall operated without proper ventilation. At the October 10, 2022 City Council meeting, S&K Consulting Services was hired to assess the condition of the City Hall Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system and provide an engineering design for a functioning system.
DISCUSSION:
In late November 2022, S&K Consulting Services completed the engineering design and submitted plans for permitting with the Los Angeles County Building and Safety. Per the current Los Angeles County Building Code, S&K Consulting was able to determine that the scope of work is an HVAC replacement/repair project.
S&K Consulting Services reported that the existing equipment includes a pair of furnaces that are twinned (interlocked to supply the same duct) with two cooling coils connected to a single commercial outdoor package unit. The size of the furnaces are no longer manufactured and twinning is no longer common practice with ultra-low nox systems. Most of the ductwork has been damaged beyond repair and sections are in shambles above the ceiling.
City Hall is split into two zones in this context. Zone 1 is comprised of the individual offices, and the lobby. Zone 2 is comprised of the Council Chambers. The new design will addressing existing imbalance of airflow and improve temperature control by splitting Zone 1 into two zones where the lobby, reception area and hallway will be on a separate thermostat.
S&K Consulting Services also specified new HVAC equipment with higher efficiencies and the lowest emissions. Several pieces of equipment will need to be placed outside of City Hall, at 83 the existing recycling center.
Alan Palermo Consulting, the City's Project Manager coordinated information exchange between S&K Consulting Services, and the City Hall ADA Improvement Project design team to ensure that the HVAC project makes provisions for the future condition to be improved by the ADA project.
Plans were submitted to Los Angeles County in November 2022 and approved in December.
The plans have been revised to (Revision No. 1) to include information/address existing hazardous materials. S&K consulting is confirming if this plan revision requires Los Angeles County plan review. The plans and specifications attached include Revision No. 1.
The engineer's estimate to the HVAC project is $250,185.
If the City Council authorizes staff to solicit construction bids, staff anticipates the bid opening in mid February 2022 and construction to commence in mid March 2022. Depending on the lead time for the equipment, construction duration can vary between two to five months.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The solicitation for bids does not constitute a Project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”).
Further, the solicitation for bids for HVAC at City Hall is exempt from CEQA pursuant to section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines (Existing facilities) in that it will replace already existing equipment at City Hall with upgraded and more energy efficient versions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The failure of the City Hall HVAC system was unanticipated; the project was not budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 adopted budget. If the City Council approves the project to move forward, the General Fund Reserves would be need to fund the project, in the amount of $250,185. This amount could change depending on construction bids received.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve as presented.

BACKGROUND – ASBESTOS AND LEAD
Asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paints have been widely used in the construction of public and commercial buildings since the 1930's. Insulation and fireproofing in more than 750,000 buildings in this country contain some quantity of asbestos. Lead paint was widely applied up until circa 1978, when concentrations of lead in paint began to be reduced.
In their normal state, most types of asbestos-containing building materials are unlikely to release airborne fibers. When broken up or disturbed improperly, however, asbestos fibers may become airborne. “Friable” materials – that is, materials that can be crushed using normal hand pressure – are more likely to release airborne fibers when disturbed improperly. Inhalation exposure to high levels of asbestos over long periods and/or ingestion of lead-based paint are associated with an increased incidence of cancer, respiratory, liver and other diseases.
Asbestos is primarily an inhalation hazard. Lead-based paint, when damaged (peeling or flaking), is primarily an ingestion hazard. Any activity that could disturb asbestos materials or lead-based paint should be undertaken with care and in accordance with applicable law.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS – ASBESTOS
Current state and federal regulations pertaining to asbestos are summarized below. The summary is not all-inclusive and does not address specific removal or disposal requirements for individual materials.
NESHAPS
The National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), regulation 40 CFR Part 61, states that no visible emissions are allowed during building demolition or renovation activities which involve regulated asbestos-containing materials (RACMs). All buildings, regardless of construction date, must be surveyed for ACMs prior to demolition or renovation. The US EPA and/or the local air quality management district which implements US EPA actions must be notified prior to any building demolition, even if no ACMs are present. An ACM is defined as any material with an asbestos content of greater than one percent and which (a) is friable, or (b) Category I nonfriable ACM that has or will become friable, or (c) Category II friable ACM that may become or will become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation.
According to NESHAP, ACM is material containing more than one percent asbestos as determined using the methods specified in Appendix A, Subpart E, 40 CFR Part 763, Section 1, PLM. The NESHAP classifies ACM as friable or non-friable. Friable ACM is ACM that contains more than one percent asbestos and when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
Non-friable ACM also contains more than one percent asbestos and is further classified as either Category I ACM or Category II ACM. The materials are distinguished by their potential to release fibers when damaged. Category I ACMs are much more likely to release fibers when damaged.
In accordance with the US EPA's NESHAP regulation, facilities planned for renovation or demolition must be surveyed for the total amount of asbestos materials, which must be categorized 99 Ellis page 3
as friable, Category 1 non-friable, and Category 2 non-friable ACMs.
Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) The SCAQMD is a government agency that regulates sources of air pollution within the area of the Los Angeles and surrounding counties. The District’s regulating and enforcement authority comes from federal law. In response to the NESHAP requirements, the SCAQMD implemented Rule 1403 to specify work practice requirements to limit asbestos emissions from building demolition and renovation activities, including the removal and associated disturbance of asbestos-containing materials (ACM). The requirements for demolition and renovation activities include asbestos surveying, notification, ACM removal procedures and time schedules, ACM handling and clean-up procedures, and storage, disposal, and landfilling requirements for asbestos-containing waste materials (ACWM). All operators are required to maintain records, including waste shipment records, and are required to use appropriate warning labels, signs, and markings.
AHERA
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires performance of asbestossurveys and the development of Asbestos Management Plans for all of the nation's primary and secondary schools. The general procedures mandated under AHERA are considered the industry standard and are applied to all surveys performed.
Cal-OSHA
Per Cal-OSHA standards, 1926.1101, Asbestos-Containing Construction Materials (ACCMs) are defined as any material with an asbestos content greater than one-tenth of one percent (>0.1%). CalOSHA sets forth work requirements for disturbance of ACCMs including removal operations for all types of ACCMs. The requirements have been classified as Class I, Class II, Class III, or Class IV Asbestos related work. The classes are distinguished by their potential to release fibers. Cal-OSHA prescribesspecific engineering controls and work practices for each Class of Asbestos related Work.
1. Class I – This Class refers to removal of ACMs identified as Thermal System Insulation (TSI) or surfacing (sprayed-on or troweled-on) materials. These materials are generally considered friable.
2. Class II – This Class refers to removal of ACMs identified that are not TSI or surfacing materials. These materials are generally considered non-friable.
3. Class III – This Class refers to repair and maintenance operations of all identified ACMs.
4. Class IV – This Class refers to incidental contact with identified ACMs such as custodial staff.
California Health and Safety Code
The California Health and Safety Code 25915 (former Connelly Bill) requires all building owners in the State of California to provide written notification to employees, tenants, and contractors of the presence and location of ACCMs within their buildings. Some exclusion to the notification rule for restricted access areas is allowed. All documentation related to asbestos surveys (and air monitoring) must be made available to employees, tenants, or contractors for review. ACCMs are defined as any materials with an asbestos content greater than one-tenth of one percent (>0.1%). The California Health and Safety Code also require that a seller with any knowledge of ACMs on a property disclose such information or knowledge to other parties involved in a real estate transaction. 100
Ellis page 4
Building Demolition / Renovation
In accordance with the US EPA's NESHAPs regulation and the SCAQMD, all structures planned for renovation or demolition must be surveyed for ACMs prior to the planned renovation or demolition.
Subsequent removal of identified ACMs is also required. Removal involves, to the greatest extent practical, the complete removal, disposal, and replacement, if necessary, of the ACMs. Removal usually also requires encapsulation of the remaining structure to lock down residual fibers which may exist. Removal of ACMs is required prior to renovation and/or demolition activities. The US EPA and SCAQMD require removal of all RACMs prior to demolition or renovation. RACMs include friable and non-friable (Category I and II) which have or will become friable by demolition or renovation activities.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS – LEAD
California Title 8. Industrial Relations, Division 1, Department of Industrial Relations, Chapter 4, Division of Industrial Safety, Subchapter 4, Construction Safety Orders, Article 4, Dusts, Fumes, Mists, Vapors, and Gases, §1532.1, Lead.
This section applies to all construction work where an employee may be occupationally exposed to lead. All construction work excluded from coverage in the general industry standard for lead by section 5198(a)(2) is covered by this standard. Construction work is defined as work for construction, alteration and/or repair, including painting and decorating. It includes but is not limited to the following [applicable portions in bold text]:
(1) Demolition or salvage of structures where lead or materials containing lead are present; (2) Removal or encapsulation of materials containing lead; (3) New construction, alteration, repair, or renovation of structures, substrates, or portions thereof, that contain lead, or materials containing lead;
(4) Installation of products containing lead;
(5) Lead contamination/emergency cleanup;
(6) Transportation, disposal, storage, or containment of lead or materials containing lead on the site or location at which construction activities are performed, and (7) Maintenance operations associated with the construction activities described in this subsection.
California Health & Safety Code 17961 et al.
Deems a building to be in violation of state law if it contains lead hazards and requires local enforcement agencies to enforce provisions related to lead hazards. Makes it a crime for a person to engage in specified acts related to lead hazard evaluation, abatement, and lead-related construction courses unless certified or accredited by the Department. Permits local enforcement agencies to order the abatement of lead hazards or issue a cease and desist order in response to lead hazards.
California Labor Code 6716 to 6717 Lead-Related Activities in Construction Work Provides for the establishment of standards that protect the health and safety of employees who engage in lead-related construction work, including construction, demolition, renovation and repair.
California Code of Regulations, Title 17, Section 35001 Includes requirements for lead hazard evaluation and abatement activities, accreditation of training providers, and certification of individuals engaged in lead-based paint activities. 101

METHODOLOGY
Bulk Sampling of Suspect Asbestos-Containing Materials
A sampling plan was first prepared, listing each material to be sampled, sample location, and material condition. Accessible building materials were visually inspected using the methods presented in the Federal Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) regulations (40 CFR, Part 763) as a guideline. AHERA was originally only applicable to schools, however state and federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Asbestos School Hazard Abatement and Reauthorization Act (ASHARA) have adopted the AHERA sampling methodology for all buildings subject to demolition or renovation.
Bulk samples of all suspect ACM homogeneous materials were collected. A homogeneous material is defined as a surfacing material, thermal system insulation, or miscellaneous material that is uniform in color, texture and age of construction. Examples of homogeneous materials include:
• Pipe-insulation produced by the same manufacturer and installed during the same time period; • Resilient flooring of identical color and pattern;
• Troweled on surfacing materials located in contiguous areas.
The structure was visually inspected for the presence of suspect materials. As materials were identified, bulk samples were obtained with the aid of a coring device or other hand tool and placed into individual sampling bags. Each sample was given a discrete identification number and recorded on field notes as well as chain-of-custody forms. Bulk samples were transported to and analyzed at an AIHA accredited laboratory. Analysis method used: 40 CFR Part 763, Subpart F, Appendix A. (AHERA Final Rule). Results expressed in percent of measured area.
Cal-OSHA defines asbestos containing construction materials (ACCM) as those materials having asbestos content of greater than one tenth of one percent (>0.1%). When None Detected (ND) appears in this report, it should be interpreted as meaning no asbestos was observed in the sampled material above the reliable limit of detection for the PLM method employed.
Note: under EPA assessment criteria, if a single sample of a homogeneous material tests positive for asbestos, all similar materials within that area are considered to be asbestos containing.
Bulk Sampling of Suspect Lead-containing Materials
Paint chip and/or other suspected lead containing materials were collected using a hand scraper, small chisel or other tool. Each sample was placed into an individual plastic sample container with a unique identification number. Paint samples were hand delivered to an AIHA accredited laboratory for initial analysis using EPA Method 3050B/6010B, and by EPA Method Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC). (When “<” appears in the lead analysis report, it should be interpreted as meaning below the analytical detection limit.) All samples were collected by Shawn Sokolsky, an EPA-accredited building inspector and lead inspectors/risk assessor employed by Ellis.
INACCESSIBLE AREAS
Not all walls, ceilings or floors were demolished to gain complete visual access. The roof of the structure was not sampled as part of this survey. There is a chance that additional suspect materials (pipe insulation in walls and above sub-ceilings, asbestos-cement vent pipes, underground drains, 102
Ellis page 6
primer on steel structural members, etc.) may be exposed during demolition activities.
Initiate demolition carefully. Any materials exposed but not identified in existing reports should be sampled and analyzed prior to disturbance.
RESULTS
See Tables 1-2. Also refer to the attached laboratory results, summarized below.
Asbestos
Asbestos was detected in the following sampled material:
1. exterior stucco – (<0.1% chrysotile, good condition / “non-friable” – appx. 500 ft2 in qty.*)
2. acoustic ceiling (soft) – (6-7% chrysotile, good condition / “friable” – appx. 2,000 ft2
in qty.*)
3. ceiling plaster – (2% chrysotile, good condition / “non-friable” – appx. 2,000 ft2 in qty.*)
4. wall plaster – (<0.1% chrysotile, good condition / “non-friable” – appx. 2,000 ft2 in
qty.*)
5. resilient sheet flooring / linoleum (upper) and associated mastic – (5-8% chrysotile, good condition / “friable” – appx. 300 ft2 in qty.*)
6. resilient sheet flooring / linoleum (bottom) and associated mastic – (20% chrysotile, good condition / “friable” – appx. 100 ft2 in qty.*)

in qty.*)
8. window putty – (2% chrysotile, good condition / “non-friable” – appx. 10 ft2 in
qty.*)
* Not for bidding purposes. Conditions noted are representative of observations on the date of sampling (only).
Field verify all listed quantities and conditions.
A licensed abatement contractor is required for the disturbance or removal of the asbestoscontaining materials with greater than 0.1% asbestos content noted above. Reference Table 1 for a complete list of asbestos-related samples.
The removal of any material containing asbestos in an amount greater than one percent (AsbestosContaining Material or ACM) is regulated under EPA-SCAQMD Rule 1403, 29 CFR 1926.1101 (federal OSHA) and other state and local guidelines. Removal of any material containing asbestos in an amount greater than 0.1 percent is also regulated, under Cal-OSHA Title 8 Section 1529.
Asbestos-containing waste material (ACWM) generated during the removal of friable and nonfriable ACM must be disposed of as hazardous asbestos waste and non-hazardous asbestos waste, respectively. For asbestos-containing materials with asbestos concentrations of less than 1% but greater than 0.1%, so called Asbestos-Containing Construction Materials or ACCM, waste generated during abatement activities may be disposed of as standard construction waste but must still be removed by a DOSH registered abatement contractor. For asbestos-containing materials with asbestos concentrations less than 0.1%, removal or disturbance by a DOSH registered abatement contractor is not required; however, certain work practices outlined in Cal/OSHA Title 8 § 1529 may still apply. Prior to renovation or demolition, retain a licensed abatement contractor to remove 103
Ellis page 7
asbestos materials identified.
Lead-Containing Materials – Paint
The following sampled paints are “lead-based” (>0.06 % lead by wt.):
1. white front door paint – (0.074% lead by wt.)
2. white wall trim paint – (0.33% lead by wt.)
3. eggshell wall paint – (0.099% lead by wt.)
4. grey storage wall paint – (0.18% lead by wt.)
A licensed abatement contractor is required for the removal of disturbance of the lead-based paint listed above. Drum and profile all uniquely generated waste stream prior to transportation or disposal.
The following sampled paints are “lead-containing” (<0.06 % lead by wt.):
1. white exterior paint – (0.013% lead by wt.)
Avoid torching, welding, or mechanical abrading on lead-containing paints without prior exposure monitoring as is stipulated in Cal/OSHA Title 8 § 1532.1. No other special, leadrelated precautions required. Reference the attached lead “Trigger Tasks” document for additional information on “lead-based” (>.06%) and “lead-containing” (<.06%) paints and work practices.
Lead-Containing Materials – Ceramic Tile
The following sampled ceramic tile is “lead-containing” (>50 mg/Kg):
1. ceramic restroom wall tile – (76 mg/Kg)
A licensed abatement contractor is required for the removal of disturbance of the lead-based paint listed above. Drum and profile all uniquely generated waste stream prior to transportation or disposal. Reference Table 2 for a complete list of lead-related samples.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Asbestos
Retain a licensed abatement contractor for the removal or disturbance of the asbestos-containing materials noted to be present in this report.
Subsurface materials, such as asbestos-cement (AC, or “Transite”) may also be present. A review of existing utility plans may reveal their presence, location and quantity. AC pipe, when exposed during grading activities, must be removed under an SCAQMD-approved work plan (“Procedure 5”).
Lead
Retain a licensed abatement contractor for the removal or disturbance of the lead-based paints and lead-containing ceramic tile noted to be present in this report. Lead-based paint may be exposed on structural steel beams beneath fire proofing, and in other similar locations. If exposed but not identified in existing reports, any such materials should be sampled prior to disturbance. 104
Ellis page 8
Health and Safety Plan (HaSP)
A health and safety plan, or HaSP, is a plan for a workplace that is designed in accordance with the legislative requirements covering the roles and responsibilities of the staff, an emergency action plan etc. A health and safety plan is designed to serve and protect the individuals affected by the organization in all matters of health, wellbeing and safety.
The HaSP should be provided by the general or abatement contractor. A “site specific” health and safety plan mainly describes what kind of hazards are involved in the project, how they can be overcome and what sort of equipment will be used to overcome the problem. Health and safety plans will differ from job to job, but the underlying theme of every plan is that it should not only take care of the health and safety of the employees, but also ensure safety for visitors of the premises and the passersby1.

LA Testing maintains liability limited to cost of analysis. Interpretation and use of test results are the responsibility of the client. This report relates only to the samples reported above, and may not be reproduced, except in full, without written approval by LA Testing. LA Testing bears no responsibility for sample collection activities or analytical method limitations. The report reflects the samples as received. Results are generated from the field sampling data (sampling volumes and areas, locations, etc.) provided by the client on the Chain of Custody. Samples are within quality control criteria and met method specifications unless otherwise noted. The above analyses were performed in general compliance with Appendix E to Subpart E of 40 CFR (previously EPA 600/M4-82-020 “Interim Method”) but augmented with procedures outlined in the 1993 (”final”) version of the method. This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST or any agency of the federal government. Non-friable organically bound materials present a problem matrix and therefore LA Testing recommends gravimetric reduction prior to analysis.
Unless requested by the client, building materials manufactured with multiple layers (i.e. linoleum, wallboard, etc.) are reported as a single sample. Estimation of uncertainty is available on request.

APPLICABLE REGULATIONS – ASBESTOS
Current state and federal regulations pertaining to asbestos are summarized below. The summary is not all-inclusive, and does not address specific removal or disposal requirements for individual materials.
NESHAPS
The National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), regulation 40 CFR Part 61, states that no visible emissions are allowed during building demolition or renovation activities which involve regulated asbestos-containing materials (RACMs). All buildings, regardless of construction date, must be surveyed for ACMs prior to demolition or renovation. The US EPA and/or the local air quality management district which implements US EPA actions must be notified prior to any building demolition, even if no ACMs are present. An ACM is defined as any material with an asbestos content of greater than one percent and which (a) is friable, or (b) Category I non-friable ACM that has or will become friable, or (c) Category II friable ACM that may become or will become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation.
According to NESHAP, ACM is material containing more than one percent asbestos as determined using the methods specified in Appendix A, Subpart E, 40 CFR Part 763, Section 1, PLM. The NESHAP classifies ACM as friable or non-friable. Friable ACM is ACM that contains more than one percent asbestos and when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
Non-friable ACM also contains more than one percent asbestos and is further classified as either Category I ACM or Category II ACM. The materials are distinguished by their potential to release fibers when damaged. Category I ACMs are much more likely to release fibers when damaged.
In accordance with the US EPA's NESHAP regulation, facilities planned for renovation or demolition must be surveyed for the total amount of asbestos materials, which must be categorized as friable, Category 1 non-friable, and Category 2 non-friable ACMs.
Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) The SCAQMD is a government agency that regulates sources of air pollution within the area of the Los Angeles and surrounding counties. The District’s regulating and enforcement authority comes from federal law. In response to the NESHAP requirements, the SCAQMD implemented Rule 1403 to specify work practice requirements to limit asbestos emissions from building demolition and renovation activities, including the removal and associated disturbance of asbestos-containing materials (ACM). The requirements for demolition and renovation activities include asbestos surveying, notification, ACM removal procedures and time schedules, ACM handling and clean-up procedures, and storage, disposal, and landfilling requirements for asbestos-containing waste materials (ACWM). All operators are required to maintain records, including waste shipment records, and are required to use appropriate warning labels, signs, and markings.
AHERA
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) requires performance of asbestos surveys and the development of Asbestos Management Plans for all of the nation's primary and secondary schools. The general procedures mandated under AHERA are considered the industry standard and are applied to all surveys performed.
146
Ellis www.ellisenvironmental.com 310 544 1837
Cal-OSHA
Per Cal-OSHA standards, 1926.1101, Asbestos-Containing Construction Materials (ACCMs) are defined as any material with an asbestos content greater than one-tenth of one percent (>0.1%). Cal-OSHA sets forth work requirements for disturbance of ACCMs including removal operations for all types of ACCMs. The requirements have been classified as Class I, Class II, Class III, or Class IV Asbestos related work. The classes are distinguished by their potential to release fibers. Cal-OSHA prescribes specific engineering controls and work practices for each Class of Asbestos related Work.
1. Class I – This Class refers to removal of ACMs identified as Thermal System Insulation (TSI) or surfacing (sprayed-on or troweled-on) materials. These materials are generally considered friable.
2. Class II – This Class refers to removal of ACMs identified that are not TSI or surfacing materials.
These materials are generally considered non-friable.
3. Class III – This Class refers to repair and maintenance operations of all identified ACMs.
4. Class IV – This Class refers to incidental contact with identified ACMs such as custodial staff.
California Health and Safety Code
The California Health and Safety Code 25915 (former Connelly Bill) requires all building owners in the State of California to provide written notification to employees, tenants, and contractors of the presence and location of ACCMs within their buildings. Some exclusion to the notification rule for restricted access areas is allowed. All documentation related to asbestos surveys (and air monitoring) must be made available to employees, tenants, or contractors for review. ACCMs are defined as any materials with an asbestos content greater than one-tenth of one percent (>0.1%). The California Health and Safety Code also require that a seller with any knowledge of ACMs on a property disclose such information or knowledge to other parties involved in a real estate transaction.
Building Demolition / Renovation
In accordance with the US EPA's NESHAPs regulation and the SCAQMD, all structures planned for renovation or demolition must be surveyed for ACMs prior to the planned renovation or demolition.
Subsequent removal of identified ACMs is also required. Removal involves, to the greatest extent practical, the complete removal, disposal, and replacement, if necessary, of the ACMs. Removal usually also requires encapsulation of the remaining structure to lock down residual fibers which may exist.
Removal of ACMs is required prior to renovation and/or demolition activities. The US EPA and SCAQMD require removal of all RACMs prior to demolition or renovation. RACMs include friable and non-friable (Category I and II) which have or will become friable by demolition or renovation activities. 147
