On January 13, 2020, the City Council reviewed the Planning Commission's decision and the Traffic Commission's recommendation for the development and grading of Storm Hill Lane and accepted the project.

In 2022, the applicant went through a plan check with LA County to obtain permits. In early 2023, construction of the new road commenced and was completed later in the year. On September 28, 2023, the Traffic Commission received a report on the status of the new road.

Staff informed the Traffic Commission that the road, including the storm drains, would be maintained by the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA). Construction of the new road is complete.

Subdivision Improvement Agreement
On June 8, 2005, the City entered into a Subdivision Improvement Agreement with the applicant, Storm Properties, Inc., and Claudia Storm Grzywacz in order to subdivide properties and construct a road. The agreement has been amended several times to avoid expiration.

The current sixth amendment requires the applicant to complete improvements no later than June 8, 2024.
22 Request
Under the agreement, the applicant was required to provide several performance bonds for the completion of the road. The performance bonds guarantee that the applicant will complete certain work according to the terms outlined in the agreement. The applicant was required to pay the bonds to a bond company who holds the bond until the City allows the bonds to be released back to the applicant. If the applicant fails to complete the work, the City can use the money to complete the work on its own or as financial compensation. The road is now complete, and in order to avoid a seventh amendment, the applicant is requesting the release of bonds prior to the expiration of the agreement on June 8, 2024. The bonds are in place to obligate the applicant to perform the following:

1. Install survey monuments: Bond No. K08304476 for $6,382

2. Maintain native vegetation: Bond No. K08304439 for $75,330

3. Complete requirements for Final Parcel Map No. 26356: Bond No. K0830435A for $78,384

4. Perform corrective geology: Bond No. K08304312 for $82,800

5. Construct the road per plan: Bond No. K08304233 for $127,839

6. Underground utilities: Bond No. K08304191 for $219,247

7. Provide a water main extension and fire hydrant: Bond No. K08304270 for $97,590 DISCUSSION:

The applicant has performed all the work required to release the performance bonds. As part of construction, survey monuments were installed, Final Parcel Map No. 26356 was recorded, corrective geology activities were performed, the road was constructed, utilities were undergrounded, and a water main extension and fire hydrant were installed. The applicant indicates the requirement to maintain native vegetation (Bond No. K08304439) was made under a previous design for a longer road approved in the 2000s that was meant to protect

0.32 acres of existing coastal sage scrub that would have been removed due to grading. The 2019 approval that was eventually built was for a shorter road that did not affect the coastal sage scrub, and thus there is no need for the bond. As such, the applicant is requesting the release of all seven bonds.

Maintenance
The new road, including the storm drains, will be maintained by the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA). The applicant recorded an easement for the ongoing access/maintenance of this road by RHCA (see attachment). The applicant also has a preferred storm drain maintenance company used in the past. The applicant and RHCA have been in communication, and the feedback has been positive, as the cost of storm drain maintenance is relatively low.

New Lots Supported by Storm Hill Lane
The new road supports three new lots created by a subdivision. There is also a developed lot at 4 Storm Hill Lane that will have access. The road is approximately 564 feet in length and terminates at a cul-de-sac. The road was approved by the Fire Department and constructed to LA County Road construction standards. The intersection at Storm Hill Lane is 57 feet wide and has a 30-foot paved surface within a 60-foot-wide roadway easement area. The Planning Commission approved the project on November 19, 2019, and the Traffic Commission on November 21, 2019. The City’s Traffic Engineer reviewed the plans prior to City approval. 23 Progress Update
The road work is now fully complete. All utilities have been installed, the area has been graded, and the road has been paved. Rolled curbs have been installed, and hydroseeding has been planted. Onward Engineering, hired by the City, has inspected the dry sewer, which has been successfully installed. Public Works inspections for the road are being handled by LA County Building and Safety. Mulch and hydroseeding have been added. RHCA has reviewed the bridle trail easement on the side of the road, leading down toward a canyon to the east.

On February 22, 2024, a lot line adjustment was submitted to the Planning Department to adjust the lot lines between the lots (Zoning Case No. 24-018). The application is being reviewed and prepared for Planning Commission Review.

The "as-built" plan has been submitted as required in the conditions of approval. There were two minor revisions from the original approved plan, which included:

1. Relocation of a storm drain grate to align with the rolled curb to collect storm water properly and

2. Substitution of decomposed granite with wood chips/mulch on horse trails per RHCA.

The County inspector has signed off on the grading/drainage permit card for the underground drainage, grading, and asphalt. Southern California Edison (SCE), SoCalGas, Cal Water, Cox Communications, and Frontier will provide utility services. The applicant's civil engineer has installed monumentation for future surveying.

If authorized by City Council, staff can prepare release letters to the bond company to release the bonds.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. Project funded by applicant, including public works inspections.

RECOMMENDATION:

Accept the final improvements and completion of Storm Hill Lane and authorize staff to release the bonds for such improvements.

Mtg. Date: 11/16/2023
TO: HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION FROM: JOHN SIGNO, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING & COMMUNITY SERVICES THRU: DAVID H. READY
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE A REPORT ON STORM HILL LANE
DATE: November 16, 2023
BACKGROUND:

Staff reported this item at the September 28th Traffic Commission meeting. At that meeting, the Commission asked about future maintenance of the new road and storm drains.

History
The Traffic Commission reviewed and approved an item to relocate the intersection of Storm Hill Lane with Johns Canyon Road on November 21, 2019. City Council received and filed the Traffic Commission and Planning Commission's actions on the project on January 13, 2020.

Construction to install the new road has been ongoing for the past several months and is nearing completion.

DISCUSSION:

Maintenance
The new road, including the storm drains, will be maintained by the RHCA after completion/sign offs. The applicant recorded an easement for the ongoing access/maintenance of this road by RHCA (see attachment). The applicant also has a preferred storm drain maintenance company that was used in the past. The applicant and RHCA have been in communication and the feedback has been positive as the cost of storm drain maintenance is relatively low.

New Lots Supported by Storm Hill Lane
The new road will support new lots created by a subdivision. There are four lots which have access to the new road: one developed and the other three vacant. The road is approximately 564 feet in length and terminates at a cul-de-sac. The road was approved by the Fire Department and constructed to LA County road construction standards. The intersection at Storm Hill Lane is 57 feet wide and has a 30-foot paved surface within a 60-foot-wide roadway easement area. The project was approved by the Planning Commission on November 19, 2019. The City’s Traffic Engineer reviewed the plans prior to City approval. 1 108

CONSIDERATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE RESOLUTION NO. 2019-17 FROM THE PLANNING

COMMISSION GRANTING APPROVAL FOR GRADING FOR A NEW ROAD TO SERVE PROPERTIES ON STORM HILL LANE; AND ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE

DECLARATION AND MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM REQUEST IN ZONING CASE NO. 950; AND APPROVING REQUEST FOR ONE-YEAR TIME EXTENSION OF SCHEDULE A THROUGH E (STORM PROPERTIES, INC.)
DATE: January 13, 2020
BACKGROUND:

The applicants, Storm Properties, Inc. have requested a Site Plan Review for grading and construction of a private road with substructures.

Construction of the improvements was a requirement of a subdivision application in Parcel Map No. 26356, known as Storm Hill Lane, which was finaled and recorded in 2005. The required improvements included construction of a road, undergrounding utility lines, fire hydrant, water lines, gas lines, monuments (for property lines markings), sewer line with stub out for future use and a mitigation, restoration and maintenance agreement for re-vegetation of plants, (on lot 3 only), that would be lost to grading, when the lot is developed. Prior to finalizing the Parcel Map instead of constructing the improvements, the owners opted to deposit construction bonds with the City in the amount that it would cost to design and construct these improvements and entered into an agreement with the City that the improvements were to be completed within 3-years, or prior to either sale or development of any of the 3-vacant parcels. The development agreement was extended several times since 2005; the latest agreement is expiring in June 2020. The property owners do not have a time frame for development of the lots, although they’re considering a sale of Parcel 1-adjacent to Johns Canyon Rd., which would trigger the implementation of the subdivision agreement; whereas before there was no reason to construct the road and all of the appurtenant structures.

Once the improvements are completed, the City would be able to release the security bonds.

Concurrently, in Zoning Case No. 949, the applicants have requested a Lot Line Adjustment between the four parcels of land, which were created by the subdivision. Other than the road, no new development is being proposed with this application.

DISCUSSION:

The originally approved road would be approximately 1,130 feet long and would start at the junction of Johns Canyon Road and Storm Hill Lane and continue between the property lines (in the roadway easements) of Parcels 1 and 4 and 1 and 2 ending with a hammerhead at the boundary of the property line of Parcel 3. The grading for this road was approved at 12,000 cubic yards of cut and 500 cubic yards of fill on parcels 1 and 2; and would be balanced on those parcels if the pads were being created at the same time as the road. Otherwise, 11,500 cubic yards of the dirt was proposed to be spread and some stockpiled on those two parcels.

The proposed project entails construction of a 564-foot long by 30 feet wide paved road within a 60-foot wide roadway easement with a 64- foot diameter cul-de-sac and 8’ bridle trails easement on either side of the paved road; meeting the requirements of the Fire Department and City’s code, as well as RHCA requirement for bridle trail along the road. The entire road and the cul-de-sac will be located on Parcel 1. The road will be constructed to LA County road construction standards. The grading will be entirely for the construction of the road and not for the building pads and will entail 2,800 cubic yards (CY) of cut of which 350 CY will be used for fill on lot 1 (for the road). The remaining dirt is planned to be spread roughly 2’ high over an area of approximately 49,000 SF or 140’ x 350’ (shown as the oval area on the plans) on lot 1. This area will be compacted and hydroseeded but will not be prepared for construction.

Very little disturbance, (0.17%), is proposed on Parcels 2, and 3 each; 2.31% of parcel 4 will be disturbed and 19.79% (65,340 SF) of parcel 1 will be disturbed for the road and stockpiling. 94
112

TRAFFIC COMMISSION
The proposed road meeting Johns Canyon Road, will be moved approximately 30 feet east of the location approved with the subdivision, and will be 40’ wide. The road will vary in slope from 3% to 15%, which is permitted. The Traffic Commission reviewed the project, after each commissioner independently visited the site, and at their November 21, 2019 meeting recommended approval. The Traffic Engineer visited the site as well and prepared a recommendation to the Traffic Commission. The Traffic Engineer’s report is included.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An environmental review of the entire project was prepared with the subdivision request in 2000. At that time it was determined that the project, with mitigation measures, will not have a significant negative effect on the environment. With several revisions in CEQA law since 2000, it was determined that the proposed revised road and its proposed location constitute a new project and is subject to a new CEQA review
Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, (CEQA), Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for this project. It was determined that with the proposed mitigation measures no significant environmental effects will result from this project. A copy of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative declaration was provided to the Planning Commissioners on a thumb drive, and is also being provided to the City Council, and can be found on City’s website at http://www.rolling-hills.org/DocumentCenter/View/1438 or at City Hall.

The applicant’s consultants prepared an Initial Study and determined that the project would have significant environmental effects. However, with mitigation measures developed by the applicant’s consultant and approved by City staff, all of the potential negative environmental effects of the project will be diminished to a level of less than significant, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project was prepared.

As required by (CEQA), proper notices were provided to residents within 1,000-foot radius of the site, local cities, the local library and school district, County agencies and other local agencies for their comments. A copy was also posted on the City’s website. In response to the City’s notice of availability of the Initial Environmental Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration, (MND), several comments/letters were received. Attached to this report are copies of the comments received as a result of the CEQA process. A Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) was developed, which addresses the comments that were submitted, (Attachment D).

The MMRP includes some of the conditions from the 2000 Conditions of Approval for the road construction and were incorporated into the Resolution of approval.

ONE-YEAR TIME EXTENSION
The applicant requests that the extension to construct the infrastructure to these lots be granted to June 8, 2021, as the project was put on hold while a new environmental assessment was prepared. The preparation of the environmental document caused a significant delay to the project schedule and thus, shortening the time for the applicant to comply with Schedules A through E. However, the applicant has taken the risk to move forward with plan check to still try to meet the original deadline and save time.

Applicants’ description and statement of justification of the project:
“We are submitting for Site Plan Review (SPR) as we are proposing a change in the grading plan involving significantly less grading and disturbance. Tentative street improvement and rough grading plans for Storm Hill Lane were approved as part of Parcel Map 26356. The improvements are required to be completed as part of the subdivision agreement dated June 8, 2005, as amended. An original rough grading plan, approved with the Parcel Map, required the grading of the street and all the pads to accommodate the excess soil being generated by cut for the street and the required slopes. We are proposing to reduce the length of Storm Hill Lane by approx. 40% (and modify the required easements) to eliminate all grading of the pads to a future time as part of the development of the homes on these lots. The grading CUT required to build the shorter street will be approximately 2,800 C.Y. and would be placed roughly 2’ high over an area of approximately 49,000 s.f. or roughly 140’x350’ on lot 1 - shown as the oval area on the grading exhibit drawing. The new shorter street will still provide access to all four lots involved in the Parcel Map 26356. By building the shorter Street and not grading any of the house pads, there will be little or no upfront disturbance to the natural vegetation/habitat and at the same time – would meet the requirements of the subdivision agreement dated June 8, 2005, as amended, to build the Street by June 8, 2020. The new Street will include and meet all requirements by the County of Los Angeles Fire Department – including Street width, and code cul-de-sac design. The new Street will also be built with a stub in for future Public Sewer, and all communications (phone/cable, etc.) and will include a live water line for Fire Department Fire Hydrants and future Water Service for each lot. The revised proposed grading plan, as submitted for Site Plan review, only requires grading for the shorter Street (Storm Hill Lane). There is no proposed grading upon any of the lots for future building PADS on Lots 1-3 or construction of any buildings proposed at this time.”
The Subdivision Improvement Agreement stipulates that the applicants may request an extension of time to complete the improvements, which is to be reviewed and approved by the City Council. Since the original approval, the applicants requested and were granted three extensions to complete the improvements. Each time, the City Council concurred that since the owners had no plans to develop or sell the lots, there was no reason to disturb the natural terrain of the lots just to construct a road that would lead to nowhere, and trench for and place utilities that would not serve anyone. For the approved configuration of the road, two out of the four parcels would have to be substantially graded. It has been the City’s practice to limit grading on properties until a residence has been proposed, approved by the City and RHCA and the plans for the structures have gone through substantial plan check review at the Building Department. 95 113
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report from the Planning Commission and approve the one-year extension request from the current deadline date of June 8, 2020.

SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 23-100: SITE PLAN REVIEW TO DEMOLISH AN

EXISTING RESIDENCE, EXPAND THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PAD,

CONSTRUCT A NEW RESIDENCE, ATTACHED GARAGE, SWIMMING

ROLLING HILLS, CA, 90274, AND FINDING THE PROJECT

CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (LOT 11-B-CH) (LUKIC)
DATE: April 22, 2024
BACKGROUND:

On January 16, 2024, the Planning Commission held a morning public field trip at 4 Spur Lane. There were three Commissioners present: Vice Chair Kirkpatrick, Commissioner Cardenas, and Commissioner Douglass. Also in attendance were staff and 9 public attendees.

All viewed the silhouettes of the proposed project and walked the site. Luis de Moraes (architect) and staff provided presentations and answered questions. The proposed project was presented later that night at the evening Planning Commission Meeting at 6:30 p.m. The Planning Commissioners voted 3-0 (2 Commissioners were absent) to continue the item to the next meeting. The Planning Commission directed staff to work with the applicant on revising the plans to decrease the amount of grading for the Project. The Planning Commission directed the applicants to bring back the project when the relocated driveway and apron in the easements were approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA).

The project was not presented at the February 19, 2024 Planning Commission meeting because the applicant needed more time to address the issues regarding the barn location and access on Cinchring Road, grading, and RHCA approval of the relocated driveway from the northeastern to the northwestern portion of the property. RHCA approval of the relocated driveway in the easement was crucial because a denial would require a complete redesign of the project.
210
On February 22, 2024, the RHCA approved the relocation of the driveway and apron in the easement on Spur Lane.

On March 6, 2024, the applicants addressed all of the issues from the January 16, 2024 Planning Commission meeting. The applicants submitted revised plans and calculations, and the following changes were made:

1. Raised building pad approximately 1 foot and 6 inches.

2. Reduced disturbed area by 2,090 square feet (SF). The current proposal is for 29,880 SF (63.49%) vs. the original proposal for 31,970 SF (67.9%).

3. Reduced total grading by 2,850 cubic yards (CY); current grading is 4,750 CY; original proposal was for 7,600 CY.

4. Moved entire building northeast (towards Spur Lane) by 7 feet and 7 inches.

5. Increased garage area by 302 SF.

6. Extended garage length by 11 feet and 6 inches, which increased total plate height length 8 feet and 6 inches or lower by 4%.

7. Raised entire building by 1 foot and 6 inches.

8. Raised garage finished floor elevation by 6 feet.

9. Removed pavilion.

10. Removed barn, driveway, and driveway approach from Cinchring Road.

On March 7, 2024, the project was re-noticed for the March 19, 2024 Planning Commission morning field trip and evening public hearing.

On March 19, 2024 the Planning Commission held a morning public field trip at 4 Spur Lane.

There were four Commissioners present: Chair Chelf, Vice Chair Kirkpatrick, Commissioner Douglass, and Commissioner Cardenas (Commissioner Cooley was absent). The applicants addressed the issues from the last meeting and the site had been re-staked and resilhouetted. All viewed the silhouettes of the proposed project and walked the site. Luis de Moraes (architect) and staff provided presentations and answered questions. The neighbors at 3 Spur Lane (Houske) expressed their concerns about the 18-inch height increase of the building pad that would negatively impair their view of the ocean. The Planning Commission, staff and attendees visited 3 Spur Lane to view the project. The public hearing was continued to the evening meeting.

At the evening Planning Commission meeting, the project was approved by a 4-0 vote, with the conditions that the building pad and ridgeline be decreased to 18 inches similar to the original proposal on January 16, 2024.

On April 1, 2024, the applicants addressed all of the issues from the March 16, 2024 Planning Commission meeting. The applicants submitted revised plans and calculations to staff. The flatwork, lot coverage, building pad coverage, disturbance, building elevations, and project square footage remained the same; only the grading calculations changed. The following changes were made to the project:

1. Lowered building pad by approximately 1 foot and 6 inches.

2. Retaining wall located on northeast portion parcel at the corner of the garage has changed to a maximum 4 feet and 5 inches with a maximum 2.4 average height (previously 3 feet maximum with an average height of 2.5 feet).

3. The outdoor BBQ and service yard encroach into the side yard setback, the applicants 211
will amend ZC 23-100 and request a Variance for the structure to encroach into the side setbacks.

4. The new grading quantities have been changed to 2,680 CY cut (previous 2,375 CY) and 2,230 CY fill (previous 2,375 CY) with 130 CY of exempt export. Total grading quantity is 5,230 CY.

Zoning, Location, and Lot Description
The property located at 4 Spur Lane is zoned RAS-1 and has a net lot area of 1.08 acre (47,063 square feet). Currently, there is only one building pad on the property developed with a 3,525-square-foot single-family residence and 536-square-foot attached garage. The residence was built in 1951 and is currently vacant. In 1962, the Planning Commission approved a variance for an addition.

The existing residence is located 14 feet from the front roadway easement, 25 feet from the west side property line, and 24 from the east side property line. The rear property line is located downslope of the building pad over 288 feet to the south. There is an existing 25-foot RHCA easement that extends along the west and south property lines. There is s 20-foot road easement located at the north of the parcel on Spur Lane, and 30-foot road easement at the southeast corner of the parcel on Cinchring Road. There is one building pad and the existing topography of the project site slopes down approximately 300 feet from the rear elevation to the lowest portion of the lot.

Applicant Request
On August 24, 2023, an application was filed by the applicant, Luis De Moraes, on behalf of the property owners Jennifer and Nebojsa Lukic to request a site plan review to demolish the existing residence and attached garage and construct a new 4,870-square-foot single-family residence and 967-square-foot garage with a new driveway and apron.

The proposed project includes a 1,010-square-foot swimming pool, 480-square-feet of attached covered porches, 168-square-foot pavilion, 166-square-foot barbecue, maximum five-foot high retaining walls, 123-square-foot service yard, hardscape, landscape, and other amenities. The proposed project will expand the existing residential building pad for the new swimming pool and amenities, and includes a new walkway/stairway that will descend down the slope to the new pavilion. The project will relocate the existing driveway on Spur Lane from the northeast side to the northwest side of the property within an easement management by the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) (see Attachment 5). The new garage will be located at the northeast portion of the parcel and oriented toward the side property line requiring a curved driveway that slopes downward from the street. the driveway will be 22 feet wide maximum with a 29-foot-wide apron.

The project will expand the building pad from 7,260 square feet to 12,152 square feet by extending the southern portion of the existing building pad approximately 90 feet.

Traffic Commission Review of Driveways
The applicant proposed two new driveways: (1) main driveway on Spur Lane and (2) secondary driveway to a stable located on Cinchring Road. On December 11, 2023, the Traffic Commission held a meeting and the Traffic Engineer recommended approval of the main driveway but not the secondary driveway due to safety and drainage concerns. The secondary driveway is on a sharp curve with existing guardrails that would have to be removed or 212
relocated. The Traffic Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval to the City Council of the main driveway on Spur Lane but not the secondary driveway for the stable on Cinchring Road.

The applicants at this time have decided to remove the secondary access, barn, and driveway from Cinchring Road form the project approval.

On February 22, 2024, RHCA approved the relocation of the driveway and apron on Spur Lane. The applicants were granted access to use the RHCA easement for the new driveway and apron on Spur Lane.

DISCUSSION:

Setbacks
The new residence meets the requirements for reduced setbacks on a smaller lot. According to RHMC Section 17.24.045, reduced setbacks may apply to properties in the RAS-1 zoning district that have a lot area of 1.25 acres or less, excluding roadway easements. This property has a lot area of 1.23 acres (excluding roadway easements).

Site Plan Review
The applicants are requesting a Site Plan Review (SPR) to demolish a residence and construct a new 4,780-square-foot residence, attached 967-square-foot garage, 1,010-squarefoot swimming pool, maximum 5-foot-high retaining walls, 22-foot-wide driveway, and other improvements.

Non-exempt grading
The January 16, 2024 proposal, the applicants requested a total of 4,750 cubic yards (CY) of grading, including 2,375 CY cut and 2,375 CY fill balanced onsite. The 245 CY of excavation for the swimming pool is exempt and could be exported from the site without relief from the Code. Grading is needed to expand the existing building pad, and support the new driveway, swimming pool, stairway yard area, and retaining walls. Included are 640 CY of overexcavation and 880 CY of recompaction. The grading from the cut for the residence, garage, and driveway will be used to fill and expand the existing building pad for the swimming pool/spa, deck, and stairs to the fire pit. The 205 cubic yards of excavation for the swimming pool is exempt and could be exported, but it will be balanced onsite.

At the March 16, 2024 Planning Commission meeting the Commissioners, as part of the approval, applicants are required to lower the building pad by 18 inches, which resulted in some changes to the grading. The new grading quantities have been changed to 2,680 CY cut (previous 2,375 CY cut) and 2,230 CY (previous 2,375 CY fill) with 130 CY of export (exempt).

The total grading has increased by +480 CY.

Retaining Walls
All of the existing walls on the subject property will be demolished. The project includes twoand-one-half-foot-high retaining walls along the northwestern portion of the property supporting the new driveway. A new retaining wall is proposed along the eastern portion of the residence that extends down to the new stairway and fire pit. The project includes retaining walls at the southern portion of the residential building pad that will extend from the pavilion, stairway, fire pit, swimming pool and around to the west portion of residence. The maximum height of the retaining walls is five feet and the average height is not to exceed two and onehalf feet. 213
Retaining walls (maximum 3-feet in height) are located north along both sides of the driveway leading to the garage. The double walls are located at the north portion of the driveway closer to Spur Lane and there is a single wall on the southside of the driveway leading to the garage.

Retaining walls located east perimeter of expanded building pad, double wall at the corner by the outdoor kitchen.

Retaining walls located south portion of the expanded building pad, stair way, fire pit, infinity edge pool, and southeastern corner of the main residence (maximum height of 5 feet).

Retaining walls located on west side of main residence within the limit of grading.

Variance
The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to exceed the 40% disturbance.

MUNICIPAL CODE COMPLIANCE
Lot Coverage
The existing structural coverage with deductions is 4,115 square feet (SF) or 8.74%. The proposed structural coverage on the lot will be 3,819 SF or 8.11% of the lot, the total structural coverage is 7,934 square feet or 16.86%, which is less than the lot coverage limitation of 20% maximum.

The existing flatwork is 6,670 SF or 14.36%. The total proposed flatwork is -175 SF or -.37%, for a total flatwork coverage of 6,585 square feet or 13.99%, and this is below the maximum allowable 15% flatwork coverage.

The proposed total coverage including structures and flatwork will be 14,519 SF or 30.85% of the lot area, which below the 35% maximum structural and flatwork coverage.

Building Pad
The existing building pad area (Pad 1) is relatively small at 7,260-square-feet, the RHMC has a 12,000-square-foot building pad area guideline. The enlargement of the building pad area to 13,380-square-feet, 40-foot expansion, and lowering the pad by 7-feet in depth will level and even out the lot for the new residence, swimming pool/spa, driveway, and amenities. The existing building structural coverage is 4,115 square feet or 56.68%, and the project proposes to add 3,688 square feet or 26.76% building structural coverage, for a total of 7,803 or 53% building structural coverage. The Project exceeds the minimum 30% building pad coverage guideline by 23%.

Setbacks
The existing residence encroaches into the 30-foot front setback. The new residence complies with all of the development standards in the municipal code: 30-foot front setback, 20-foot side setback, and 50-foot rear setback.

Future 1,000 square foot set aside area
The project includes a 1,000-square-foot set aside area that located at the south portion of the parcel. It includes a future 450-square-foot stable and 550-square-foot corral. The set aside area is accessible from the newly relocated driveway at the northwest corner of the parcel on 214
Spur Lane. The future stable access is 10 feet wide and extends 280 feet along the west property line and 20-foot RHCA easement.

Area of Disturbance
The project site has been previously disturbed due to development of the existing residence.

The existing disturbance is 16,460 SF or 34.97%. The proposed project will add 13,420 SF or

28.51% of disturbance for a total of 29,880 SF, or 63.49% of the net lot area. The applicants are requesting a variance to exceed the maximum.

Height
The finished height of the proposed new residence is a maximum of 15 feet. The proposed ridgeline of the new residence will be lower due to the lowering of the existing grade by 7 feet.

Swimming Pool
The proposed swimming pool is 1,010 SF and located behind the proposed residence at the edge of the extended building pad. The pool will be designed to have an infinity edge in which water flows into a surge basin. The edge of the pool and building pad will be supported by retaining walls. Approval of a swimming pool greater than 800 SF requires a discretionary approval. The applicants have requested an approval of Site Plan Review for the proposed pool.

Landscaping
A Preliminary Landscape Plan has been included in the plans. There are existing trees front of the property that are protected and will remain. The project proposes 17,786 SF of existing landscaping to be altered (re-landscaped) and 39,883 SF of new areas to be landscaped. The Plan is being reviewed by the City’s landscape consultant for compliance with water efficiency requirements. The Planning Commission should consider if conditions are necessary to limit the height of trees to protect neighboring views.

Environmental Review
The proposed project has been determined to not have a significant effect on the environment and is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA Guidelines, which exempts a single-family residence, swimming pool, and accessory structures.

Public Participation
Staff received three resident concerns. Maureen Hill sent a letter regarding her concerns about the proposed driveway access on Cinchring Road and the proposed barn (see Attachment 4). The Houske Family at 3 Spur Lane sent emails expressing their concerns regarding the 18-inch building pad height increase (see Attachment 8). The McNabb's sent a letter expressing their concerns regarding the drainage on 4 Spur Lane (see Attachment 9).

relocated easements were approved by the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA). On February 22, 2024, the RHCA approved the relocation of the driveway and apron on Spur Lane.

The applicants were granted access to use the RHCA easement for the new driveway and apron.

The Planning Commission conducted duly noticed public hearings to consider the application at its field trip meeting and regular meeting on March 19, 2024. Neighbors within a 1,000-foot radius were notified of the public hearings and a notice was published in the Daily Breeze on March 6, 2024. The applicants and agent were notified of the public hearings in writing by first class mail and were in attendance at the hearings. Evidence was heard and presented at the public hearing from all persons interested in affecting said proposal.

Section 4. On December 11, 2023, the Traffic Commission held a special meeting to review the two new proposed driveways and aprons. The main driveway apron is located on Spur Lane and the secondary driveway to the stable is located on Cinchring Road. On December 11, 2023, the Traffic Commission approved the main driveway and denied the secondary driveway for stable access. The Traffic Engineer did not recommend the secondary driveway due to safety and drainage concerns. The Traffic Commission directed staff to work with the applicants to consider alternative locations for the secondary driveway for stable access. The applicants decided to remove the stable and secondary driveway from the project at this time.

Section 5. The property is zoned RAS-1 and the net lot area excluding the roadway easement is 1.08 acre (47,063 square feet). Currently, there is only one building pad that exists on the property. The project includes an existing 7,260-square-foot building pad near the front of the property closest to the street. The existing residence is located 14-feet from the front roadway easement, 25-feet from the west side property line, and 24 from the east side property line. The rear property line is located downslope of the building pad over 288 feet to the south.

The current residence encroaches into the 30-foot front setback by 10 feet.

Section 6. The Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines pursuant to Section 15303, Class 3 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures), which exempts the construction and location of a limited number of new, small facilities or structures, including single family residence and accessory structures, including but not limited to garages, carports, patios, swimming pools and fences. Here, the Project includes the demolition of a residence and construction of a new single-family residence and related improvements. Accordingly, the Project qualifies for the exemption pursuant to Section 15303.

Further, no exceptions to the exemption apply; there is no reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The site has already been graded and existing structures are on site.

Section 7. Site Plan Review. Site Plan Review is required for demolition of an existing residence and for the construction of a new 4,780-square-foot residence and attached 665- square-foot garage pursuant to RHMC Section 17.46.020(A), for a retaining wall above three feet in height pursuant to RHMC Section 17.16.190(F), a 1,010-square-foot swimming pool pursuant to RHMC Section 17.46.020(A)2.b for swimming pool/spa more than 800-square-feet, expansion of existing residential building pad to 13,780-square-feet, and for non-exempt grading totaling 5,230 CY including 130 CY of export (exempt) pursuant to RHMC Section

17.46.020(A).

property. The new garage will be located at the northeastern portion of the parcel. The new driveway will be 90 feet long by 22 feet wide extending to the new garage.

C. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences.

The proposed development, as conditioned, is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, and is consistent with the scale of the neighborhood when compared to new residences in the vicinity of said lot. The development plan takes into consideration the visibility of the project from Spur Lane as it utilizes the enlarge and expand the existing building pad and has a similar footprint to the existing residence. The existing driveway will be relocated to the northwest portion of the lot and repaved to align with the new garage. The swimming pool/spa will be located at the edge of the expanded residential building pad. The retaining walls have been designed to support the expanded building pad.

D. The project preserves and integrates into the site design, to the greatest extent possible, existing topographic features of the site, including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls).

A landscape plan has been prepared to for compliance with water efficient landscape ordinance requirements and low impact development standards. The landscape plan will introduce additionallandscaping, which will be compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and the landscaping will provide a buffer or transition area between private and public areas. The grading and retaining wall are designed to preserve existing topography where possible and mimic the natural terrain.

E. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area.

Grading consists of 2,680 CY of cut and 2,550 CY of fill. The grading and retaining walls are designed to preserve slopes where possible and mimic the natural terrain.

F. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course.

Grading will be done to improve the residential building pad, driveway and walkways throughout the site. Drainage will not change and will follow the natural drainage courses of the lot.

G. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and supplements these elements with drought-tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private and public areas.

Surrounding native vegetation and mature trees will not be affected and new landscaping will be considerate of the environment and will enhance the rural character of the community. 4 Resolution No. 2024-03 (ZC 23-100)

Rolling Hills, CA 90274
Subject: Drainage from 4 Spur Lane, Rolling Hills, CA
To All Whom It May Concern,
We are writing to bring up our concern regarding the planned installation of drainpipe(s) and riprap to channel water from 4 Spur Lane (ZC 23-100) into the easement located along the east side of our property which lies downhill from 4 Spur Lane. While a natural drainage gully exists from 4 Spur Lane, there is already an 18” drainpipe that channels stormwater from Cinchring Road onto our property. This year, the McNabbs suffered significant erosion along the east side of their property1. An additional drainpipe flowing from 4 Spur Lane will create even more erosion on our property, unless a drainage system to handle both the Cinchring Road drain and the 4 Spur Lane drain is installed. Additional drainpipe(s) and/or rip rap will need to be laid to carry drainage water beyond the McNabb’s and other Cinchring neighbors who abut the gully downhill.

Other residents in the area have communicated concerns about this project. Our neighbor Maureen Hill, 11 Cinchring Rd, wrote a letter dated Jan 16, 2024, citing issues of land movement due to water runoff, and Mr.

Fred Visco, 15 Cinchring Rd, discussed his concerns at the Mar 19, 2024, Planning Commission Meeting.

As far as we know, currently there is no existing drainpipe and riprap on the 4 Spur Lane property.

We respectfully request to be notified when updated site plans for the 4 Spur Lane project, which include the new location of the drainpipe and riprap, as required by the RHCA (see attached RHCA letter and RHCA Board Meeting minutes, page 2, Old Business, Request for License Agreement for New Driveway and Retaining Wall in West Side Easement-4 Spur Lane), are received by the Planning Department. We also respectfully request to be notified when the Planning Dept receives the drainage plan for 4 Spur Lane (as called for in Planning Commission Resolution 2024-03, section 9N) from LA County. These 2 documents will help us plan how to best manage the increase in waterflow across our property.

Thank you,
Dustin & Melissa McNabb

SUBJECT:

ZONING CASE NO. 23-137: SITE PLAN REVIEW TO CONSTRUCT AN ADDITION TO AN EXISTING RESIDENCE GREATER THAN 999

SQUARE FEET, ATTACHED COVERED PORCHES, OUTDOOR
KITCHEN, AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS; AND VARIANCE REQUESTS

TO CONSTRUCT IN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK AND WAIVE THE

REQUIREMENT FOR A STABLE AND CORRAL SET ASIDE AREA, FOR A PROPERTY LOCATED AT 29 EASTFIELD DRIVE, ROLLING HILLS,

CA, AND FINDING THE PROJECT CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM
THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (LOT 45-EF)
(AQUINO)
DATE: April 22, 2024
BACKGROUND:

On March 16, 2024, the Planning Commission held a field trip and evening meeting for Zoning Case No. 23-137. The field trip was called to order with three Commissioners present: Vice Chair Kirkpatrick, Commissioner Cardenas, and Commission Douglass. There were two public attendees (Judith Haenel and Brett Buckman). Staff gave a presentation on the project and the Commissioners and public were able to walk the site to view the silhouettes and staking.

Judith Haenel expressed concerns regarding the height of the proposed additions and a portion of the existing driveway encroachment on her property. After the field trip, staff walked over to Judith Haenel's house to view the project from her property and observe the height of the addition.

At the evening meeting, three Commissioners were present, and staff gave a presentation.

There were two residents opposed to the project: Judith Haenel and Jaynee Barile (31 Eastfield Drive). They expressed concerns with the height of the new additions, the reorientation of the garage creating car lights reflecting down onto their bedrooms when parking at night in the driveway, and a portion of the existing driveway encroaching onto their property.

The Planning Commission discussed the project and voted 3-0 to adopt Resolution No. 23- 137, approving the project. The Planning Commission informed Judith Haenel that the issue 273
with the driveway encroachment was separate from the project and not under their purview.

The Planning Commission directed staff to work with Judith Haenel and Jaynee Barile to find a solution to resolve the driveway encroachment issue. Staff have met with the residents, but in granting approval, the Planning Commission did not require any changes to the existing driveway and there is landscaping between the properties to provide screening.

The property is zoned RAS-1, and the net lot area is 54,998 square feet (1.26 acres). The lot is currently developed with a 1,889-square-foot single-family residence, 433-square-foot attached garage, 490-square-foot covered porch, and 52-square-foot shed. The lot size, easements, and existing topography limit the size and location of any proposed improvements on site.

The existing residence is a legal non-conforming structure that already encroaches into the existing front setback. There is one building pad, and the existing topography of the project site slopes down approximately 211 feet from the front to the rear property line near the bottom of a canyon. The existing topography of the entire site limits a safe buildable area for a future 1,000-square-foot equestrian set-aside area.

DISCUSSION:

Applicant Requests
On November 15, 2023, applications were duly filed by Brett Buchman of Buchmann Design, on behalf of Arnold and Lulu Aquino, requesting a Site Plan Review for a 1,075-square-foot addition to the existing main residence. Variances were also requested for portions of the additions and porches to encroach into the front set back and exemption from the requirement to provide the 1,000 square foot equestrian set aside area.

The overall project proposes:

A new 342-square-foot covered porch to the northwest portion of the existing residence adjacent to the existing living room with new 52-square-foot outdoor kitchen and BBQ The existing garage will be expanded by a 146 square feet addition (at the west side of garage). The total garage area will be 579 square feet. The orientation of the garage will change to the southern elevation.

A 962-square-foot addition will be added to the southwestern portion (primary bedroom addition).

A 113-square-foot addition will be added to the southeastern portion of the residence (secondary bedroom addition). The existing main residence is 1,899 square feet, and the project will add 1,075 square feet for a total of 2,974 square feet.

A new 182-square-foot covered porch will be added to southeast portion of the residence (adjacent to the secondary bedroom and existing garage).

The project will add a 29-square-foot trash enclosure to the southern portion of the residence adjacent to the garage area.

A new retaining wall is proposed in the rear of the property within the existing retaining wall located along the southwestern section of the existing building pad. The maximum height of the new retaining wall is three feet. The new retaining wall will match the same design & color of the existing located along the northwestern section of the building pad.

There is very minimal grading required for the new retaining wall a total of 24 cubic yards (CY) including 12 CY cut and 12 CY fill balanced onsite. 274
The existing walkways located on the north and east of the residence will remain the same. The walkways located on the west of the residence will be redesigned.

The existing 679-square-foot parking pad will be converted to the primary driveway.

The existing building height is 13 feet, 3 inches and the project will match the existing height.

Site Plan Review
The Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a Site Plan Review for the expansion, modification, alteration or repair of any existing building or structure addition which increases the size of the residence by more than 999 square feet pursuant to RHMC Section 17.46.020.A. The Project proposes a 1,075-square-foot addition to the main the residence (2,974 square feet total) and 146-square-foot addition to the attached garage (579 square feet total).

Variance
The Rolling Hills Municipal Code requires a Variance for deviations from development standards. Variances are requested for a portion of the addition to encroach into the front set back and exemption from the requirement to provide the 1,000 square foot equestrian set aside area.

Variance request for encroachment into the front yard setback The existing residence was built in 1957 and encroaches 24 feet into the 50-foot front yard setback, which is considered legal nonconforming. However, any new addition must meet the required 50-foot front yard setback. A variance is requested for a 113-square-foot bedroom addition, 146-square-foot garage addition, and 182-square-foot covered porch to encroach into the front yard setback.

MUNICIPAL CODE COMPLIANCE
Setbacks
The project complies with the required 20-foot side setbacks and 50-foot rear setback in the RAS-1 Zone. However, due to the smaller lot size, rear slope, and easements, the existing main residence encroaches into the front setback.

Lot Coverage and Building Pad Coverage
The Project complies with the Development Standards in the Rolling Hills Municipal Zoning Code. The existing structural coverage is 2,840.5 square feet or 5.26%, and the project proposes a net of 1,709.8 square feet or 3.11%, for a total of 4,550.3 square feet or 8.27%.

This is still under the maximum allowed 20% structural coverage.

The existing flatwork coverage is 2,998 square feet or 5.45%, and the project proposes 224 square feet or 0.41%, for a total of 3,222 square feet or 5.86%. This is still under the maximum allowable 15% structural coverage. The existing structural and flatwork coverage is 5,890.5 square feet or 10.71%, and the project increases that by 1,962.8 square feet or 3.57%. The total overall structural and flatwork coverage will result in 7,853.3 square feet or 14.28%, which is still well under the maximum allowed 35% structural and flatwork coverage. 275
Building Pad #1 is a total of 20,900 square-feet. The existing Building Pad #1 Coverage with deductions is 7,066 square feet or 34.4%, and with an increase of 1,632 square feet or 7.8%, and the total proposed Building Pad Coverage with deductions is 8,698 square feet or 42.2%, this exceeds the maximum 30% guideline by 12.2%.

Disturbance
The existing disturbed area is 13,131 square feet or 23.88% which is still below the maximum allowed 40%. There is no increase of disturbance because the proposed project is in an area that is already disturbed.

Neighbor Concerns
No public comments have been received on the date of publication of this Agenda item.

1. The project complies with and is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan and all requirements of the zoning ordinance;

2. The project substantially preserves the natural and undeveloped state of the lot by minimizing building coverage. Lot coverage requirements are regarded as maximums, and the actual amount of lot coverage permitted depends upon the existing buildable 276
area of the lot;

3. The project is harmonious in scale and mass with the site, the natural terrain and surrounding residences;

4. The project preserves and integrates into the site design, to the greatest extent possible, existing topographic features of the site, including surrounding native vegetation, mature trees, drainage courses and land forms (such as hillsides and knolls);

5. Grading has been designed to follow natural contours of the site and to minimize the amount of grading required to create the building area;

6. Grading will not modify existing drainage channels nor redirect drainage flow, unless such flow is redirected into an existing drainage course;

7. The project preserves surrounding native vegetation and mature trees and supplements these elements with drought-tolerant landscaping which is compatible with and enhances the rural character of the community, and landscaping provides a buffer or transition area between private and public areas;

8. The project is sensitive and not detrimental to the convenient and safe movement of pedestrians and vehicles; and

9. The project conforms to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.

If all of the above findings cannot be made with regard to the proposed project, or cannot be made even with changes to the project through project conditions imposed by City staff and/or the Planning Commission, the site plan review application shall be denied.

17.38.050 - Required Variance findings.

In granting a variance, the Commission (and Council on appeal) must make the following findings:

A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same vicinity and zone; B.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CHRISTIAN HORVATH, CITY CLERK / EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO

CITY MANAGER
THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE AN UPDATE FROM SITELOGIQ REGARDING THE

SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC DUAL-FUEL EMERGENCY GENERATOR

PROJECT FOR THE CITY HALL CAMPUS BACK-UP POWER /

RESILIENCY AND DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A TIMELINE

TOWARDS A PUBLIC HEARING
DATE: April 22, 2024
BACKGROUND:

A diesel back-up power generator served the City Hall campus for many years, but the unit became inoperable in 2019. In late 2020, the City Council commissioned professional expertise to offer options for providing reliable back-up power to the City Hall campus, including the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) building and operations.

Between October 2020 and March 2023, the City Council reviewed options provided by a professional architectural and engineering team working on the City Hall ADA project. In 2021, the architectural and engineering team provided a solar panel and battery back-up solution with estimated installation costs, based on the following requirements, to be approximately $250,000:

Current City Hall campus demand based on electric bills for 2020/2021 Supply 24 hours of backup power
16 kWh battery backup
75 kW Solar Photovoltaic (Solar-PV) system
The City Council subsequently assigned further exploration to the RHCA. After some time, the RHCA requested that city staff take back ownership of a project, which City staff brought to the City Council. On March 27, 2023, the City Council directed staff to explore the solar/battery back-up power option. With this direction, city staff could approach the project conventionally by preparing an engineering design and advertising for construction bids or considering other alternatives as presented to the former City Manager.

On April 24, 2023, at the invitation of the former City Manager, SitelogIQ, an energy solutions 321
company, presented an alternate approach to delivering the solar/battery backup power solution to the City Council. SitelogIQ is a licensed General Contractor delivering energy infrastructure programs for State and local governments. SitelogIQ discussed available funds from the Federal government, including the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that could offset local government expenditures on energy projects. Such projects involve the installation or modification of improvements to an energy-efficient or renewable energy system.

Via the IRA, the Federal government allows the city to obtain a federal tax credit in the form of a direct payment (i.e., rebate) for energy storage (battery), electrical infrastructure, solar, and microgrid controllers. The rebate could be as high as 30% of the project cost, provided the project is completed within a specific timeframe.

In the previous four years, City staff had many successes securing grant funds or other fund sources to offset the use of the General Fund for City projects. To move forward and execute a backup power project, the City Council was presented with two options: 1) to set aside a projected budget surplus or 2) use savings from the General Fund Reserves. In the SitelogIQ approach, the City could potentially save on design engineering costs by sole sourcing the project to SitelogIQ, thereby offsetting General Fund expenditures with SitelogIQ assisting the City in utilizing the Federal government's IRA rebate.

In May 2023, SitelogIQ provided City staff with a Letter of Agreement (LOA) for consideration.

The LOA outlined SitelogIQ's scope of services to develop an energy project that satisfies the city's requirements for a design/engineering cost of $28,500. If the city ultimately chooses to enter into a contract with SitelogIQ for project implementation within 60 days after receiving a formal presentation of the proposed project, SitelogIQ's design and engineering fee would be waived. Beyond the aforementioned 60 days, the fee paid would be credited toward the project's total implementation cost.

Per SitelogIQ, the California Government Code 4217.10 provides the ability for public agencies to sole source the project delivery to SitelogIQ as long as the requirements of the code section are met.

On June 12, 2023, given last year's staff vacancies, the lack of technical expertise on energy projects, the then workload to deliver the CalOES/FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program grants, and the possibility to offset ongoing General Fund expenditures for the backup power project, the City Council accepted staff's recommendation and directed staff to engage the services of SitelogIQ.

On June 26, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with SitelogIQ.

Over the summer and fall of 2023, SitelogIQ conducted an initial site walk to determine the scope and scale of the program. Their work has included the following:

Compiled utility tariff and reviewed historical utility usage/bill analysis for the City Hall campus / tennis courts;
Modeled future use and operation of a distributed energy resource composed of solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage and performance using industry-leading software platform, Energy Toolbase;
Evaluated/selected products and equipment. The electrical load and service voltage limited SitelogIQ to four primary products/manufacturers. These were benchmarked 322
against each other, with the selected product meeting the following criteria: cost, efficiency, and application;
Hosted contractors on-site to walk through the scope and existing conditions.

Validated equipment, material quotes, and labor bids;
Developed cashflow and identified funding pathways;
Met with City staff to review preliminary project scope; Conducted internal review to identify risks and challenges; Reviewed the application process for the IRA and calculated the “elective pay” tax incentive based on total eligible costs
SitelogIQ's project team developed a comprehensive scope of work around resiliency that provides a turn-key design-build solution to the City. They compiled a 20-year program cash flow incorporating ongoing maintenance and operations that was reviewed by the former Interim City Manager and current City Manager / staff.

On December 14, 2023, SiteLogiQ presented their findings and proformas to the City Council as two options (Attachment D):

Option 1 – Cash deal for the entire scope of work
Option 2 (No EV) – Cash deal for a scope of work without EV Charging The City Council provided SiteLogiQ with direction to explore solutions that were more cost effective including the use of natural gas/propane backup solutions versus the proposed battery storage option, and to research other potential grants that could offset capital investment.

On March 11, 2024, City staff presented (Attachment E) that since December 2023, SiteLogiQ had revisited the program approach, with a focus on the scope and scale of the Solar-PV system and Energy Storage. Per City Council's direction they performed the following tasks:

Kept the Solar-PV system at approximately the same size and in the same location; Removed the EV charging station;
Removed the energy storage system;
Introduced a dual-fuel energy generator to the solution mix for City Hall only due to RHCA decision to install their own back-up generator;
Reviewed utility cost avoidance projections based on the change of scope; Solicited budgetary pricing from vendors and subcontractors for equipment and installation labor;
Reviewed the IRA application and recalculated the predicted credit value based on 30- 40% of the eligible cost;
Reviewed and qualified Utility and CEC programs (03/05/2024); Developed summary table for presentation to staff.

The City Council requested that SiteLogiQ provide specific schematics and bottom-line costs for both Option B (Photovoltaic Solar System with dual-fuel backup generator) and Option C (dual-fuel backup generator only) at the March 25, 2024 Council meeting.

On March 25, 2024, staff presented a follow-up report per direction and provided answers to outstanding questions or concerns. The City Council deferred a decision until SiteLogiQ could present a cost estimate for a Solar / Duel-fuel backup generator serving both City Hall campus buildings. (Attachment F)
323
As noted previously:

Implementation of a Solar-PV system will have immediate and long-term utility cost avoidance savings. SiteLogiQ has estimated a 5% annual increase in rates in their utility cost avoidance projections. In 2023 the rate increase was 7.2%. In 2024 the forecasted rate increase is 7.6%.

SCE has also requested a rate increase in its General Rate Case application (A.23-05- 010) for 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028. In this application, SCE asked the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for an authorized base revenue requirement (ABRR) of $10.27 billion to become effective January 1, 2025. Including sales updates and a $95.57 million in one-time memorandum accounts recoveries, the request represents a $1.90 billion, or 23 percent, increase in 2025 over 2024 requested base rates. Increases for 2026, 2027 and 2028 are $373.1, $476.5, and $514.5 million, respectively. A proposed decision on the application for the 2025 test year is expected in the first quarter of 2025.

DISCUSSION:

On April 9, SitelogIQ conducted another site visit at both City Hall and the RHCA building. The purpose was to address constructability concerns and introduce additional suppliers / vendors to the potential project. Accompanying SitelogIQ were representatives from a roofing contractor, an electrical contractor, and a vendor representative for the proposed generator system.

The roofing contractor assessed the current condition of the roof above the RHCA's garage and the attachment method for the Solar-PV system. They recommended inspecting the existing roofing tiles before installing the Solar-PV system and replacing them with a single product to maintain the integrity of the roof and reduce weight prior to adding the solar modules. The affected area is approximately 1,500 sq. ft. This recommendation incurs added costs not initially accounted for in earlier project budgets.

The review of the electrical system yielded no significant changes to the project approach.

The representative for the generator system evaluated alternative locations—near the City Hall building versus near the existing generator shed—and system capacities to meet the load requirements of the entire campus (City Hall + RHCA). The recommendation was to keep the generator at or adjacent to the shed to minimize electrical costs and reduce noise disturbances when in operation. This location will also provide better access for future maintenance. It was also noted that the Gas Company will need to upgrade the meter to handle the increased fuel requirements (Typically, at no additional cost to the project due to an upgraded service change).

Following the site walk, the interested contractors provided updated budgetary pricing based on the recommendations.

Implementation Budget Summary
The following changes affect the cost budget:

1. Additional implementation budget to replace 1,500 sq. ft. of existing tile roof w/ shingles. (Affects Option B-1 and incorporated into Option B-2)

2. Updated to reflect a June 1st Notice to Proceed. (Primarily affects Option B-1 and 324
incorporated into Option B-2)

3. Additional cost budget (Option B-2) to create a whole campus solution that supports both buildings. (Included in Option B-2)
Per above, the attached updated Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Options Matrix (Attachment A) has two revisions:

1. After meeting with the vendors and labors on April 9, the cost for the Original Option B (now B-1) increased by $27,000 (almost entirely driven by roofing additions)

2. Creation of Option B-2, which provides emergency generation for the entire campus (City Hall and the RHCA Building)
Notes:

1. For the Option B-2, SitelogIQ is recommending a Kohler Generator over the previously presented Generac (Attachment C). The rating remains the same at 48kW, but the Kohler runs quieter and comes on-line faster. Maintenance cost for the Kohler is $1,000.00 per year (previously reported to be much higher).

2. SitelogIQ is also recommending increasing the propane storage to 360 gals. (From 300 gals.)

3. Option A (original proposed project) was not updated and no longer considered viable.

4. Option C depicts the addition of a dual-fuel emergency generator only and requires the City to pursue a more traditional RFQ/RFP process. SiteLogiQ could submit as part of any solicitation.

Preliminary Proposed Project Schedule:

SitelogIQ is working on the schedule to have the system constructed and functional by January 2025. The item with the longest procurement lead time is the duel-fuel generator at approximately 16 weeks. Assuming a June 1, 2025 Notice to Proceed, SitelogIQ would have the generator by November 4, 2024 (accounting for final engineering).

By November 4, the Solar-PV should be installed, and underground work completed, leaving the installation of the generator, start-up, commissioning, and training for the last 7 weeks of the year. This schedule is probable, but it does require a prompt plan review and permitting process.

Projected Timeline:

Notice to Proceed: June 1, 2024
Final engineering Completed No Later than August 1, 2024 Plan Review & Permitting: August 1, 2024 – August 26, 2024 – Approx. 3 weeks Procurement: July 15, 2024 – November 4, 2024 – Approx. 16 weeks Installation: October 14, 2024 – December 2nd
Start-up & Commissioning Early December
Final Completion No Later Than December 31, 2024
As for requirements, renewable energy and emission mandates, along with the availability of funding through the Inflation Reduction Act, SitelogIQ encourages the City to proceed sooner rather than later with a solution involving solar photovoltaics. The previous and current mandates set goals for 2026, 2027, and 2030, which are divided between renewable energy and emission reduction requirements.
325
Based on Council feedback, staff recommends the City Council consider the whole campus Option B2 with a net-implementation budget and one-time capital cost investment of $358,400 (after the receipt of estimated IRA funding). The IRA funding would come to the City in 2025 after project completion which is estimated to be by the end of this calendar year. This would be treated as a reimbursement to the City after paying the total implementation budget of $478,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total fiscal impact of the Option B2 project would be $358,400. At the June 12, 2023 City Council meeting, the FY 23-24 budget was approved, including an allocation of $250,000 to the City Hall campus back-up power project. SiteLogIQ's proforma assumes rebates of $119,600. This would leave the unfunded portion of the potential project at $108,400.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file. Provide direction to staff and SiteLogIQ to bring the project presentation to the RHCA Board on May 2, 2024, before returning for a formal Public Hearing with the City Council at a special meeting between May 21 and May 31 after a 15-day Public Noticing requirement per Government Code.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CHRISTIAN HORVATH, CITY CLERK / EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO

CITY MANAGER
THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE AN UPDATE FROM SITELOGIQ REGARDING THE

BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE AND SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC

PROJECT FOR THE CITY HALL CAMPUS BACK-UP POWER /

RESILIENCY AND TIMELINE TOWARDS A PUBLIC HEARING
DATE: December 14, 2023
BACKGROUND:

A diesel back-up power generator served the City Hall campus for many years, but the unit became inoperable in 2019. In late 2020, the City Council commissioned professional expertise to offer options for providing reliable back-up power to the City Hall campus, including the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) building and operations.

Between October 2020 and March 2023, the City Council reviewed options provided by a professional architectural and engineering team working on the City Hall ADA project. In 2021, the architectural and engineering team provided a solar panel and battery back-up solution with estimated installation costs, based on the following requirements, to be approximately $250,000:

Current City Hall campus demand based on electric bills for 2020/2021 Supply 24 hours of backup power
16 kWh battery backup
75 kW Solar Photovoltaic system
The City Council subsequently assigned further exploration to the RHCA. After some time, the RHCA requested city staff take back ownership of a project, whereupon City staff brought it to the City Council. On March 27, 2023, the City Council directed staff to explore the solar/battery back-up power option. With this direction, city staff could approach the project conventionally by preparing an engineering design and advertising for construction bids or considering other alternatives as presented to the former City Manager.

On April 24, 2023, at the invitation of the former City Manager, SitelogIQ, an energy solutions 3331
company, presented an alternate approach to delivering the solar/battery backup power solution to the City Council. SitelogIQ is a licensed General Contractor delivering energy infrastructure programs for State and local governments. SitelogIQ discussed available funds from the Federal government, including the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that could offset local government expenditures on energy projects. Such projects involve the installation or modification of improvements to an energy-efficient or renewable energy system.

Via the IRA, the Federal government allows the city to obtain a federal tax credit in the form of a direct payment (i.e., rebate) for energy storage (battery), electrical infrastructure, solar, and microgrid controllers. The rebate could be as high as 30% of the project cost, provided the project is completed within a specific timeframe.

In the previous four years, City staff had many successes securing grant funds or other fund sources to offset the use of the General Fund for city projects. To move forward and execute a backup power project, the City Council was presented with two options: 1) to set aside a projected budget surplus or 2) use savings from the General Fund Reserves. In the SitelogIQ approach, the City could potentially save on design engineering costs by solely sourcing the project to SitelogIQ, thereby offsetting General Fund expenditures with SitelogIQ assisting the City in utilizing the Federal government's IRA rebate.

In May 2023, SitelogIQ provided City staff with a Letter of Agreement (LOA) for consideration.

The LOA outlined SitelogIQ's scope of services to develop an energy project that satisfies the city's requirements for a design/engineering cost of $28,500. If the city ultimately chooses to enter into a contract with SitelogIQ for project implementation within 60 days after receiving a formal presentation of the proposed project, SitelogIQ's design and engineering fee would be waived. Beyond the aforementioned 60 days, the fee paid would be credited toward the project's total implementation cost.

Per SitelogIQ, the California Government Code 4217.10 provides the ability for public agencies to sole source the project delivery to SitelogIQ as long as the requirements of the code section are met.

Given the past year's staff vacancies, the lack of technical expertise on energy projects, the current workload to deliver the CalOES/FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program grants, and the possibility to offset General Fund expenditures for the backup power project, staff recommended at the June 12, 2023 City Council meeting, the City Council accepted staff's recommendation and directed staff to engage the services of SitelogIQ.

On June 26, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with SitelogIQ.

DISCUSSION:

On April 24, 2023, City staff and SitelogIQ provided a preliminary presentation to the Council on the battery energy storage and solar photovoltaic project. The Council approved SitelogiQ to work with staff under a Professional Services Agreement towards the development of a comprehensive project.

Over the summer and fall of 2023, SitelogIQ conducted an initial site walk to determine the scope and scale of the program. Their work has included the following:
3342
Compiled utility tariff and reviewed historical utility usage/bill analysis for the City Hall campus / tennis courts;
Modeled future use and operation of a distributed energy resource composed of solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage and performance using industry-leading software platform, Energy Toolbase;
Evaluated/selected products and equipment. The electrical load and service voltage limited SitelogIQ to four primary products/manufacturers. These were benchmarked against each other, with the selected product meeting the following criteria: cost, efficiency, and application;
Hosted contractors on-site to walk through the scope and existing conditions. Validated equipment, material quotes, and labor bids;
Developed cashflow and identified funding pathways;
Met with City staff to review preliminary project scope; Conducted internal review to identify risks and challenges; Reviewed the application process for the IRA and calculated the “elective pay” tax incentive based on total eligible costs
SitelogIQ's project team has developed a comprehensive scope of work around resiliency that provides a turn-key design-build solution to the City. They compiled a 20-year program cash flow incorporating ongoing maintenance and operations that was reviewed by the former Interim City Manager and current City Manager / staff.

Attached are an updated presentation and proformas. Included are a utility summary and two program financial options:

Option 1 – Cash deal for the entire scope of work
Option 2 (No EV) – Cash deal for a scope of work without EV Charging SiteLogIQ is also exploring a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the entire project. If that exploration provides a positive option for consideration, SiteLogIQ will provide those numbers to the Council at a future Public Hearing.

If the City Council chooses to continue moving forward, staff will bring this item to the Planning Commission on December 19, 2023 and at a Rolling Hills Community Association Board meeting in late December or January.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total fiscal impact of the project would be $685,000. At the June 12, 2023 City Council meeting, the FY 2023-2024 budget was approved, including an allocation of $250,000 to the City Hall campus back-up power project. SiteLogIQ's proforma assumes rebates of up to $213,836. This would leave the unfunded portion of the potential project at $221,164.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file, provide direction to staff and SiteLogIQ to bring the project presentation to the Planning Commission and RHCA Board before returning for a formal Public Hearing with the City Council.

PROJECT FOR THE CITY HALL CAMPUS BACK-UP POWER /

RESILIENCY AND TIMELINE TOWARDS A PUBLIC HEARING
DATE: March 11, 2024
BACKGROUND:

A diesel back-up power generator served the City Hall campus for many years, but the unit became inoperable in 2019. In late 2020, the City Council commissioned professional expertise to offer options for providing reliable back-up power to the City Hall campus, including the Rolling Hills Community Association (RHCA) building and operations.

Between October 2020 and March 2023, the City Council reviewed options provided by a professional architectural and engineering team working on the City Hall ADA project. In 2021, the architectural and engineering team provided a solar panel and battery back-up solution with estimated installation costs, based on the following requirements, to be approximately $250,000:

Current City Hall campus demand based on electric bills for 2020/2021 Supply 24 hours of backup power
16 kWh battery backup
75 kW Solar Photovoltaic system
The City Council subsequently assigned further exploration to the RHCA. After some time, the RHCA requested city staff take back ownership of a project, whereupon City staff brought it to the City Council. On March 27, 2023, the City Council directed staff to explore the solar/battery back-up power option. With this direction, city staff could approach the project conventionally by preparing an engineering design and advertising for construction bids or considering other alternatives as presented to the former City Manager.

On April 24, 2023, at the invitation of the former City Manager, SitelogIQ, an energy solutions 3481
company, presented an alternate approach to delivering the solar/battery backup power solution to the City Council. SitelogIQ is a licensed General Contractor delivering energy infrastructure programs for State and local governments. SitelogIQ discussed available funds from the Federal government, including the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that could offset local government expenditures on energy projects. Such projects involve the installation or modification of improvements to an energy-efficient or renewable energy system.

Via the IRA, the Federal government allows the city to obtain a federal tax credit in the form of a direct payment (i.e., rebate) for energy storage (battery), electrical infrastructure, solar, and microgrid controllers. The rebate could be as high as 30% of the project cost, provided the project is completed within a specific timeframe.

In the previous four years, City staff had many successes securing grant funds or other fund sources to offset the use of the General Fund for city projects. To move forward and execute a backup power project, the City Council was presented with two options: 1) to set aside a projected budget surplus or 2) use savings from the General Fund Reserves. In the SitelogIQ approach, the City could potentially save on design engineering costs by solely sourcing the project to SitelogIQ, thereby offsetting General Fund expenditures with SitelogIQ assisting the City in utilizing the Federal government's IRA rebate.

In May 2023, SitelogIQ provided City staff with a Letter of Agreement (LOA) for consideration.

The LOA outlined SitelogIQ's scope of services to develop an energy project that satisfies the city's requirements for a design/engineering cost of $28,500. If the city ultimately chooses to enter into a contract with SitelogIQ for project implementation within 60 days after receiving a formal presentation of the proposed project, SitelogIQ's design and engineering fee would be waived. Beyond the aforementioned 60 days, the fee paid would be credited toward the project's total implementation cost.

Per SitelogIQ, the California Government Code 4217.10 provides the ability for public agencies to sole source the project delivery to SitelogIQ as long as the requirements of the code section are met.

Given the past year's staff vacancies, the lack of technical expertise on energy projects, the current workload to deliver the CalOES/FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program grants, and the possibility to offset General Fund expenditures for the backup power project, staff recommended at the June 12, 2023 City Council meeting, the City Council accepted staff's recommendation and directed staff to engage the services of SitelogIQ.

On June 26, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with SitelogIQ.

Over the summer and fall of 2023, SitelogIQ conducted an initial site walk to determine the scope and scale of the program. Their work has included the following:

Compiled utility tariff and reviewed historical utility usage/bill analysis for the City Hall campus / tennis courts;
Modeled future use and operation of a distributed energy resource composed of solar photovoltaic and battery energy storage and performance using industry-leading software platform, Energy Toolbase;
Evaluated/selected products and equipment. The electrical load and service voltage limited SitelogIQ to four primary products/manufacturers. These were benchmarked 3492
against each other, with the selected product meeting the following criteria: cost, efficiency, and application;
Hosted contractors on-site to walk through the scope and existing conditions.

Validated equipment, material quotes, and labor bids;
Developed cashflow and identified funding pathways;
Met with City staff to review preliminary project scope; Conducted internal review to identify risks and challenges; Reviewed the application process for the IRA and calculated the “elective pay” tax incentive based on total eligible costs
SitelogIQ's project team developed a comprehensive scope of work around resiliency that provides a turn-key design-build solution to the City. They compiled a 20-year program cash flow incorporating ongoing maintenance and operations that was reviewed by the former Interim City Manager and current City Manager / staff.

On December 14, 2023, SiteLogiQ presented their findings and proformas to the City Council as two options:

Option 1 – Cash deal for the entire scope of work
Option 2 (No EV) – Cash deal for a scope of work without EV Charging The City Council unanimously provided SiteLogiQ with direction to explore solutions that were more cost effective including the use of natural gas/propane backup solutions versus the proposed battery storage option, and to research other potential grants that could offset capital investment.

DISCUSSION:

Since December 2023, SiteLogiQ has revisited the program approach, with a focus on the scope and scale of the Photovoltaic (PV) system and Energy Storage. Per City Council's direction they performed the following tasks:

Kept the PV system at approximately the same size and in the same location; Removed the EV charging station;
Reduced the energy storage system;
Introduced a dual-fuel energy generator was to the solution mix; Reviewed utility cost avoidance projections based on the change of scope; Solicited budgetary pricing from vendors and subcontractors for equipment and installation labor;
Reviewed the IRA application and recalculated the predicted credit value based on 30- 40% of the eligible cost;
Reviewed and qualified Utility and CEC programs (03/05/2024); Developed summary table for presentation to staff.

The attached Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Options Matrix will show the original proposed project as Option A, the revised Solar-PV system with a dual-fuel emergency generator as Option B and a third Option C depicting the addition of a dual-fuel emergency generator only.

Based on Council feedback, staff is recommending the City Council consider Option B with a net-implementation budget and one-time capital cost of $309,200 (after the receipt of estimated IRA funding). The IRA funding would come to the City in Q1 of the following year after project completion which is estimated to be by end of this calendar year. This would be 3503
treated as a reimbursement to the City after paying the total implementation budget of $418,000. It should be noted that SiteLogiQ anticipates potential downward movement in the proposed program budget once they understand the final scope, schedule and contract terms.

As previously discussed, implementation of a PV system will have immediate and long-term utility cost avoidance savings. SiteLogiQ has estimated a 5% annual increase in rates in their utility cost avoidance projections. In 2023 the rate increase was 7.2%. In 2024 the forecasted rate increase is 7.6%.

SCE has also requested a rate increase in its General Rate Case application (A.23-05-010) for 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028. In this application, SCE asked the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for an authorized base revenue requirement (ABRR) of $10.27 billion to become effective January 1, 2025. Including sales updates and a $95.57 million in one-time memorandum accounts recoveries, the request represents a $1.90 billion, or 23 percent, increase in 2025 over 2024 requested base rates. Increases for 2026, 2027 and 2028 are $373.1, $476.5, and $514.5 million, respectively. A proposed decision on the application for the 2025 test year is expected in the first quarter of 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total fiscal impact of the project would be $309,200. At the June 12, 2023 City Council meeting, the FY 2023-2024 budget was approved, including an allocation of $250,000 to the City Hall campus back-up power project. SiteLogIQ's proforma assumes rebates of up to $108,800. This would leave the unfunded portion of the potential project at $59,200.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file, provide direction to staff and SiteLogIQ to bring the project presentation to the Planning Commission and RHCA Board before returning for a formal Public Hearing with the City Council.

The City Council requested that SiteLogiQ provide specific schematics and bottom-line costs for both Option B (Photovoltaic Solar System with dual-fuel backup generator) and Option C (dual-fuel backup generator only) at the March 25, 2024 Council meeting.

DISCUSSION:

At the March 11, 2024 City Council meeting, the Council had a variety of questions and requested additional information. Staff has attached spec sheets for the various components and is providing a list of questions and answers below.

SOLAR / PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM:

What is the overall output proposed? Does the 27kw provide the correct amount of power to both buildings?
27 kW. The solar is sized towards optimizing the economic return. This will provide power to both buildings as they are interconnected by one meter.

What is the realistic typical lifespan on the panels / inverter? Modules (panels): 25-30 years. Inverters 8-12 years.

What is the typical maintenance cost estimations over lifespan? Approximately, $40K to $50K for 30-years. Panel washing should be closer to $400 per year but not needed for every year.

Will the City be able to utilize Net Energy Metering (NEM) to provide credits towards the Tennis Courts electricity bill based on over-production at City Hall? Yes. SiteLogiQ will file an interconnection application under the current NEM 3.0 program DUEL-FUEL BACKUP GENERATOR SYSTEM:

Does the generator automatically switchover during loss of power? Yes
Where would the generator and propane tank be installed? Outside the shed and above ground for both.

What size is the generator / propane tank?
3564
48kW / 300-gallon tank (4'x8'). Propane tank, in the event of an emergency where natural gas is unavailable, can provide 3-5 days of full operation and should be more than sufficient to meet the requirements for a fully supported City Hall/EOC facility What is the realistic typical lifespan?
Lifespan depends on maintenance and operation. Assuming low usage and proper maintenance the lifespan is likely 12+ year. Annual maintenance should suffice and would include electrical system review, air filter, coolant / oil checks and changes.

What is the typical maintenance cost estimations over lifespan? Assuming backup generator is rarely used, estimate $15K to $27K Will the model be South Coast Air Quality Management District compliant? Yes
Based on Council feedback, staff is recommending the City Council consider Option B with a net-implementation budget and one-time capital cost of $309,200 (after the receipt of estimated IRA funding). The IRA funding would come to the City in Q1 of the following year after project completion which is estimated to be by end of this calendar year. This would be treated as a reimbursement to the City after paying the total implementation budget of $418,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total fiscal impact of the Option B project would be $309,200. At the June 12, 2023 City Council meeting, the FY 2023-2024 budget was approved, including an allocation of $250,000 to the City Hall campus back-up power project. SiteLogIQ's proforma assumes rebates of up to $108,800. This would leave the unfunded portion of the potential project at $59,200.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file. Provide direction to staff and SiteLogIQ to bring the project presentation to the RHCA Board before returning for a formal Public Hearing with the City Council.

Tech Brief
Solar Is Not Always Sunny
Over their lifetime, solar panels experience countless
extreme weather events. Not just the worst storms in years, but the worst storms in 40 years. High winds capable of ripping panels from a roof, and snowfalls weighing
enough to buckle a panel frame.

XR Rails® are the structural backbone
preventing these results. They resist uplift,
protect against buckling and safely
and efficiently transfer loads into the
building structure. Their superior
spanning capability requires fewer
roof attachments, reducing the
number of roof penetrations
and the amount of
installation time.

XR Rail® Family
Force-Stabilizing Curve
Sloped roofs generate both vertical and lateral
forces on mounting rails which can cause them to
bend and twist. The curved shape of XR Rails®
is specially designed to increase strength in both
directions while resisting the twisting. This unique
feature ensures greater security during extreme
weather and a longer system lifetime.

Compatible with Flat & Pitched Roofs
Roof Mount utilizes XR
Rails, along with optional
all-in-one attachments,
to secure systems flush
against residential roofs.

Corrosion-Resistant Materials
XR Rails® are
compatible with
FlashFoot® and
other pitched roof
attachments.

IronRidge® offers
a range of tilt leg
options for flat
roof mounting
applications.

All XR Rails® are made of 6000-series
aluminum alloy, then protected with an
anodized finish. Anodizing prevents surface
and structural corrosion, while also providing
a more attractive appearance.
36513
XR Rail® Family
The XR Rail® Family offers the strength of a curved rail in three targeted sizes. Each size supports specific design loads, while minimizing material costs. Depending on your location, there is an XR Rail® to match. © 2023 IronRidge, Inc. All rights reserved. Visit www.ironridge.com or call 1-800-227-9523 for more information. Version 1.22 Tech Brief
Rail Selection
The table below was prepared in compliance with applicable engineering codes and standards.* Values are based on the following criteria: ASCE 7-16, Gable Roof Flush Mount, Roof Zones 1 & 2e, Exposure B, Roof Slope of 8 to 20 degrees and Mean Building Height of 30 ft.

Completely wireless and battery powered, 6enerac"s wireless remote monitor provides you with instant status information without ever leaving the house.

Recommended for use with the Wireless Remote on units up to 60 kW, required for use on units 70 kW or greater.

E-stop allows for immediate fuel shutoff and generator shutdown in the event of an emergen cy.

The Wi-Fi enabled LP fuel level monitor provides constant monitoring of the connected LP fuel tank. Monitoring the LP tank's fuel level is an important step in making sure your generator is ready to run during an unexpected power failure. Status alerts are available through a free application to notify when your LP tank is in need of a refill.

Smart Management Modules (SMM) are used to optimize the performance of a standby generator. They manage large electrical loads upon startup and shed them to aid in recovery when overloaded. In many cases, using SMM's can reduce the overall size and cost of the system.

An ultra-concentrated anti-corrosive cleaning solution engineered to reach the smallest cavities to clean the toughest contaminants. This water based formula is non-toxic, biodegradable, safe for both metal and plastic surfaces, and is superior in rinsability.

All surface protectant for vinyl, rubber, plastics creates a barrier that seals & protects sur faces from water, UV rays while renewing the look of the surface. 37119

Agenda Item No.: 13.A
Mtg. Date: 04/22/2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROBERT SAMARIO, FINANCE DIRECTOR
THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE FISCAL YEAR 2024/2025 PROPOSED GENERAL

FUND REVENUE PROJECTIONS AND EXPENDITURES BY

DEPARTMENT
DATE: April 22, 2024
BACKGROUND:

In February 2024, the City began developing the Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget. The budget is scheduled to be adopted on June 24, 2024, effective July 1, 2024.

The City Council and the Finance/Budget/Audit Committee (FBAC) have received reports and presentations from staff regarding preliminary General Fund revenue projections for the current fiscal year and Fiscal Year 2024/25. This agenda item presents any updates to the revenue projections that may be appropriately based on new information received and provides the Council with the proposed General Fund expenditures by department and lineitem account.

Staff has scheduled an FBAC meeting on Monday, May 6, 2024, which will serve as a platform for a more detailed discussion of the proposed expenditures. In light of this, Staff recommends that the Council refer this item to the FBAC, marking a significant step in the budget development process.

DISCUSSION:

Update to General Fund Revenues (Attachment A)
On April 8, 2024, Staff presented preliminary General Fund revenue projections for the next fiscal year. Since then, staff analyzed key revenues based on additional revenues received through March 31, 2024, to determine if an adjustment to the projections is warranted.

Although all revenues will continue to be monitored, Staff recommends lowering the projected Building & Other Permits revenue account from $440,892 to $400,000. This is based on additional revenue data received and a corresponding updated analysis. As such, total Fiscal Year 2024/25 revenues are now $2,596,685.
398
Proposed Changes to Status Quo Expenditures (Attachment B) Since April 8, 2024 City Council meeting where preliminary revenue and expenditure projections were presented, staff has analyzed each line-item expenditure account and developed a "proposed" budget for the next fiscal year. The proposed budget reflects many adjustments to line items based on a continuing analysis and increased understanding of costs. In many cases, line-item budgets were reduced. However, several large increases totaling approximately $145,000 are essentially non-discretionary. Each of these is discussed below.

1. PERS Payment of Unfunded Liability ($63,217) - The fiscal year 2023/24 adopted budget did not budget for the $65,000 payment due this fiscal year. Council approved using monies in the City's Section 115 Trust account, created to accumulate funds for pension liabilities, to reimburse the City for these costs as allowable under the regulations governing Section 115 Trusts.

2. Election Expenses ($15,000) - This item is to cover the costs of the November 2024 City election, which occurs every two years. As such, it was not included in the FY 2023/24 adopted budget.

3. Willdan Building Services ($15,000) - This increase is based on the expected costs in the current fiscal year of approximately $45,000 versus a budget of $30,000. There has been an increase in the number of applicants that are utilizing the expedited services provided by Willdan versus the County of Los Angeles Public Works Department, with whom the City also contracts for building services.

4. Law Enforcement Services ($38,000) - Approximately $28,000 of the increase is based on expected costs in fiscal year 2023/24 of $283,000. It appears the budget of $255,000 was incorrectly calculated. In addition, the contract is expected to increase

3.06%, amounting to approximately $10,000. These amounts do not reflect the 30% portion of the contract that is allocated to the COPs Fund.

5. Wildlife Management & Pest Control ($14,000) - The City has a contract with Los Angeles County Weights & Measures (LACWM) in an amount not to exceed $25,000.

This contract is primarily for coyote and other pest abatement but also covers other potential services. However, the City has historically utilized this service to a limited degree. The City Council recently directed staff to increase focus in this area with a supplemental private contractor. Therefore, staff has proposed increasing the budget accordingly to more appropriately reflect the potential not-to-exceed contractual amount with LACWM and/or the independent contractor. Note that a small portion of the increase aligns with the budget expected pest control costs.

Adjusted General Fund Balancing (Attachment C)
As a result, largely due to the proposed changes to the budget described above, the General Fund has gone from a surplus of approximately $140,000 to an estimated deficit of approximately $46,000. This small deficit represents less than 2% of the proposed budget. It is possible that further refinements to the budget over the next 45 days will close this gap.

However, in the meantime, staff will provide some options for the FBAC to consider when the details of this report are discussed with them at their next meeting on May 6, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None
399
RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file proposed General Fund revenues and expenditures for fiscal year 2024/25; and direct staff to forward this item to the Finance/Budget/Audit Committee for a more detailed discussion of the proposed budget.

QUESTIONS/DISCUSSION
419
Agenda Item No.: 13.B
Mtg. Date: 04/22/2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CHRISTIAN HORVATH, CITY CLERK / EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO

CITY MANAGER
THRU: KARINA BAÑALES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE PHASE 1 OF THE PORTUGUESE BEND ROAD / ROLLING HILLS ROAD 8" SEWER MAIN PROJECT DESIGN AND AUTHORIZE

STAFF TO ADVERTISE FOR CONSTRUCTION BIDS
DATE: April 22, 2024
BACKGROUND:

In 2020, the City Council engaged the services of NV5 to provide engineering design for the 8" sewer main along Portuguese Bend Road/Rolling Hills Road. Since the commencement of the design work, NV5 has met the 65% design, 90% design, and 100% design milestones. This proposed sewer main crosses several jurisdictions, and approval from Rolling Hills Estates and the City of Torrance would be necessary before the project could be deemed complete.

Phase 1 would include the new 8-inch sewer main along Portuguese Bend Road from the RHCA's main gate to Lariat Lane in Rolling Hills Estates. The downstream 8" sewer would be able to accommodate effluent from City Hall Campus and Gate House. The cost for Phase 1, at that time, was anticipated to be approximately $1,100,000 with staff recommending partial funding from an available ARPA allocation of $441,000.

Phase 2 would involve the downstream sewer improvements to the City of Torrance (upsizing existing sewer mains to 10" and 12' at three locations) along Rolling Hills Road from Lariat Lane to Crenshaw Boulevard. This upgrade would be necessary to support future connections of residential lots in Rolling Hills to the proposed sewer system.

Per the City Council's direction at the April 25, 2022 meeting, staff confirmed with the cities of Rolling Hills Estates and Torrance, as well as the LA County Department of Public Works, that the proposed 8-inch sewer main along Portuguese Bend Road/Rolling Hills Road could be phased on the condition that the Sanitary Sewer Improvement Feasibility Study prepared by Willdan Engineering be updated. All agencies wanted to confirm that the existing sewer main lines in Rolling Hills Estates and the City of Torrance have the capacity to accept effluent from the City Hall campus and the Tennis Courts (Phase 1) without upsizing. 420
In June 2022, Willdan Engineering provided a proposal to amend the Sanitary Sewer Improvement Feasibility Study for $9,010. At the June 27, 2022 meeting, the City Council reviewed Willdan Engineering's proposal and directed staff to bring this item back in six months.

At the December 13, 2022, meeting, the City Council approved an amendment to Wildan’s contract to amend the Sanitary Sewer Feasibility Study in support of the first phase of construction of the proposed sewer main from Rolling Hills connecting to the sewer main in Rolling Hills Estates. Wildan completed the amended feasibility study, and this study was approved by Rolling Hills Estates on February 15, 2023.

At the January 23, 2023 City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to prepare an amended professional Service agreement with NV5 in the amount of $23,670 to update and complete the Phase 1 Sewer Improvement Plans.

At the February 13, 2023 meeting, City Council authorized staff to execute an amendment with NV5 to update and phase the 8” Sewer Main Improvement Plans for the section from Rolling Hills connecting to the existing sewer in Rolling Hills Estates (Phase 1). NV5 proceeded to update the plans and the plans were approved by Rolling Hills Estates on December 1, 2023.

NV5 subsequently prepared an updated Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Costs for these approved plans and submitted it to the City on January 5, 2024. This estimate is for the total amount of $1,219,000, which includes a Field Order Allowance of $60,000 and a 10% Contingency Amount of $111,230
The City submitted a Fiscal Year 2024 Community Funding request to Congressman Lieu's office in March of 2023.

On March 18, 2024, the City received notice that the City's application for FY24 Local Project funding through Congressman Lieu's office had been signed into law by President Biden and was successful in securing $1,000,000 in funding for the execution of Phase 1. (Attachment A) DISCUSSION:

The Phase 1 Sewer Improvement Project is the first step in providing sewer service to the City of Rolling Hills. Construction of the Phase 1 Sewer Improvements that would allow connection of the City Hall Campus, Gatehouse, and Tennis Court facility to a gravity sewer system and remove these facilities from existing septic systems is ready to go out to bid for construction upon authorization of City Council to release for public bid and approval of the funding for this project. Additional project costs in addition to the construction costs would include:

Permit Fees
Construction Management / Inspection
Project Management
The Phase 2 Sewer Improvement Plans (step two) require upsizing the downstream sewer in Torrance to increase sewer capacity and allow future connection of residential lots within the City to this sewer instead of existing individual septic systems. At the direction of City Council, the Phase 2 Sewer Improvement plans were put on hold, and additional funding would be required to complete them. The City received a proposal from NV5 in June 2023 for the amount of $97,000 (included potholing, updating plans, obtaining plan approval from the City of Torrance), plus an optional $23,000 (to relocate existing waterlines if a conflict with the proposed sewer upgrade is discovered while potholing). If/when the City would like to proceed 421
with Phase 2, staff would then request an updated proposal from NV5 to complete the Phase 2 Sewer Improvement Plans.

Future improvement plans and construction (Phase three, etc.) would then be needed to extend sewer facilities into the City and provide an opportunity for residents to connect to a sewer system.

Required CEQA review will be addressed at the time of contract award.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The adopted Fiscal Year 23-24 budget does not include funds to progress towards construction of the 8" Sewer Line Project Phase 1. The City will have access to $1,000,000 in FY24 Local Project funding through Congressman Lieu's office. Any additional funds would need to be appropriated as part of the FY 24-25 Budget process or via an FY 23-24 Budget Amendment resolution.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve as presented. Provide direction to staff on funding strategy.

THE AGREEMENT, AND FINDING THE PROJECT CATEGORICALLY

EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
DATE: April 22, 2024
BACKGROUND:

In order to preserve the rural character of Rolling Hills and eliminate risks of wildfires, the City Council encourages and supports utility undergrounding throughout the community. In line with this vision, the City applied for Hazard Mitigation Grant funds through the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Program.

On January 26, 2022, the City was awarded $1,971,882 in Federal funds to underground utility infrastructure on Eastfield Drive between Outrider Road and Hackamore Road. The grant requires a Local Match of 25%, or $657,294, for a total project amount of $2,629,176. The Local Match can be fulfilled using the City’s Rule 20A work credits.

Through Councilmember Wilson's efforts and involvement, a donation of $1,000,000 Rule 20A work credits from Supervisor Hahn's Office was approved in December 2022.

The California Public Utility Commission requires the local agencies to adopt an ordinance creating an underground district in the area where both the existing and new facilities are and will be located. The formation of the Underground Utility District (UUD) provides SCE with the authorization needed to develop the design plans to remove existing overhead facilities and install replacement underground facilities.

On November 14, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 1316 to create Underground 435
Utility District No. 2 (UUD-02) (Eastfield Drive) and set a public hearing for the January 23, 2023 City Council meeting. Letters were sent on November 29, 2022, and January 4, 2023, to all property owners whose property or portion of their property would fall within the proposed Underground Utility District to notify them of the formation of UUD and the public hearing.

The length of UUD-02 is divided into two segments: Rule 20A and Rule 20B. Southern California Edison (SCE) handles the design and joint trench bidding and assists in coordinating with the other utility companies for Rule 20A projects. Rule 20B projects are also designed by SCE; however, joint trench bidding is handled by the City. Over the past several years, City Staff has held monthly meetings with SCE and other utility service providers to ensure the project continues progressing. In preparation for the UUD, SCE has conducted numerous site visits to confirm the scope and limits of work and the preparation of a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM), an estimate of the project. On January 4, 2023, SCE submitted the ROM for the Rule 20A segment, which is based on the estimated trench footage of 1,250 feet and includes all mainline trenching as well as crossings, streetlights, and service laterals with the cost estimate of $1,000,000, expressed in 2024 dollars.

On January 23, 2023, Resolution No. 1322 was adopted and allowed SCE to begin designing the undergrounding system to replace the existing overhead facilities within the designated Underground Utility District. In addition, SCE coordinates with other utility service providers that have facilities on the existing overhead system to ensure their respective undergrounding designs coincide with SCE's efforts.

The Federal grant received for the Eastfield Drive Underground Utility project requires the project must be completed by August 4, 2025 in order to expend the grant funds. Any delay in establishing the Underground Utility District hinders the project and could potentially jeopardize the availability and use of the grant funds.

DISCUSSION:

The City is responsible for completing the Rule 20B segment, including lateral connections to residential panels.

To ensure that the City stays closely in sync with SCE's timing and work specific to the Rule 20B portion, a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Potholing Services (Attachment A - Exhibit A) was released on March 25, 2024. The City invited firms familiar with SCE potholing requirements to submit fee proposals for performing the required work specific to the 20B portion project and proposed vault locations. The successful proposer was required to have at least five years of experience on similar types of projects.

The scope of work includes:

1. Potholing for six vault locations as identified on SCE’s Preliminary Design Plans for the Rule 2B Project

2. Obtaining the required permit (no fee) from RHCA

3. Restoring the potholing trenches in accordance with RHCA Trench Backfill and Pavement Repairs

4. Provide appropriate Traffic Control, including flagmen, as deemed necessary. 436
On April 9, 2024, five proposals (Attachments B-F) were received in a timely fashion and evaluated by staff. The order ranked the lowest proposal for work included are as follows:

Bidder Address Amount
Aztec Engineering Group,
Inc
1921 W. 11th St., Upland, CA 91786 $48,905
Hot Line Construction, Inc.
11276 5th Street, Ste. 100, Rancho
Cucamonga, CA 91730
$57,915
VCI Construction, Inc. 1921 W. 11th St., Upland, CA 91786 $62,719 E.E. Electric, inc. P.O. Box 465, Jurupa Valley, CA
91752
$77,500
Kana Subsurface
Engineering
12620 Magnolia Ave., Riverside, CA
92503
$91,272
Staff validated all proposals received and determined Aztec Engineering Group, Inc. (Aztec) was the lowest proposer. Unfortunately, Aztec failed to meet the RFP requirements, specifically the asphalt pavement trench restoration specs provided by the Rolling Hills Community Association. When staff discussed this issue with Aztec, they stated they would have to obtain a price from a sub consultant to meet this requirement and thus would need to change their proposed amount after the deadline.

Therefore, staff recommends awarding the potholing services contract to Hot Line Construction, Inc., for a not-to-exceed amount of $57,915. They meet the requirements stated in the RFP and have current experience with SCE for Rule 20 projects.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The City Council found this was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) on October 24, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Under Rule 20B, the City is required to cover the costs for any contracted work and then be reimbursed from the grant funds. The grant pays for 75% of the fee and the city pays 25% of the fee using Rule 20A tariff credits. Staff will return to Council with a proposed resolution to amend the budget based on the costs and flow of funds described herein.

The total not-to-exceed fee for Hot Line Construction, Inc. is $57,915.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve as presented.
